| Senator Paddock. Tuesday , seen ret '
the passage by the senate of the hou t
bill for the relief -ettlers upon the oh
Camp Sheridan military reservation it
| Nebraska.
Webster ' s lo i applied to these
times when he said : "Liberty ean nol
loii cnduie in any country where tht
tendency of legislation is toconeentratt
wealth in ( he hands of a fc v. "
Monday an unknown man walked in
to the office of Mayor Hewitt of New
York City and laid down an envelope
containing $12,000 for the yellow fevei
fund. "Ju-Jtsay it eame from an Amor-
can , " he said , and disappeared.
The Delaware republican convention
parsed a resolution ( leelaringit to be tht
duty of the stale to see that no soldiei
who fought for the union is buried in a
pauper ' s jrrave. This will , of course ,
be denounced as another 'attempt to
capture theoldier vote. "
Federal officeholders in Nebraska
need no longer lay awake nights worry
ing when they will be solicited to con
tribute to elect G rover Cleveland. The
circular calling for contributions to the
democratic cainyai n national fund i >
rapidly working thisay. .
The Chinese question is in a good
deal of a muddle owiu < r to the conflict
of opinion regarding the motive which
induced China to reject the treaty. But
the fact remains that the treaty has
been rejected , and that the exclusion
bill haspassed both houses of congress.
Although this is a campaign of
torches , brass bands and bauneis , there
never was a presidential year when the
country was flooded with so many tariff
tracts. The man who does not inform
himself on the tariff question with all
this literature going a-begging has only
himself to blame.
The peremptory removal of Mr. Jack
son , the superintendent of the railway
mail service of the Second division , with
out notice aud with no reason assigned ,
after forty years of service , is a very un
fortunate thingon the eve of an election ,
in which the democratic candidate is
supposed to represent civil service re
form.
Levi P. Morton , like Grover Cleve
land , has contributed money for a pur
pose dnrinir the present campaign. But
while Mr. Cleveland's ten thousand dol
lars was sent to the national democratic
committee , Mr. Morton's check for
twelve thousand dollars goes to assist
the yellow fever sufferers in Florida. It
is indeed true : "Money talks. "
Mr. Jackson , the husband of Helen
Hunt , the poet and novelist , fairly
adored his wife. He carried it so far as
to remarry the other day , his bride being
a niece of his late wife and of the same
name , Helen Hunt. They have pitched
their tent at Colorado Springsnear the
sjrave of the pifted writer , who is super
seded by another Helen Hunt Jackson.
The perversity of men at last be
comes the law of their existence. But
in our day there is no reputation that
ivill match that of obedient citizenship.
[ Je who defies a court of justice appeals
iway from the self respect of his times.
The courts are merely ourselves , our own
creations , our organic representatives
to do justice. . It is not pretended that
they can do absolute justice , but the
justice they do announce is the only
justice society can stand upon.
The third final great function of the
Papal jubilee solemnities takes place
Sunday , Sept. J'O , when 50,000 ticket
lolders will witness the celebration of
nass for the dead by the Pope in St.
Peter's. The Pope will be carried into
lie church in the State chairsurround ,
ed the whole Pa-
by ornately-costumed Paj j
) al Court. He himself will be robed
n red , which is the Papal mourning' '
solor. At the same hour , which is 9:30 :
n Borne , similar solemn masses for the
lead will be celebrated i n all the Catholic
diurches of the whole world.
Congressman Fonn makes probably ,
he best suggestion that has yet been
iffcred in regard to immigration reform ,
lis plan is to require the immigrant to
Icclare his intention of becoming an
American citizen six mouths before leav-
ng his native country , thus enabling the ,
learest American consul or agent to in-i
jtiire into his character aud ascertain
vhether he is a person who would make
i desirable American citizen. In this t
vay , and in this way alone , could the
Kiuper and criminal classes be separat- '
sd from the better class of immigrants , i
The Omaha JJee thus seconds the' '
aiggestion made in The Tribune , re- ,
sently , regarding the disposition of ,
itate , county and municipal surplus •
' unds. We hope to see the passage of j
l bill to this effect at the next session of •
he legislature. The Bee says : "Nej j
iraska might well follow the example I
if Missouri , where state , county and '
: ity funds are deposited in those nation-
il banks which offer by public proposals
he highest rate of interest. The in- ;
erest on all such money should be !
) laeed to the credit of the people and ;
lot , as is customary to-day , swell the !
lerquisites of astute , county or munici-i
> al treasurer. "

There has been some inquiry aumnj
Ilcpubiicaus as to the state of the com
| paign in Ohio , and the question ha
i been asked whether ail is going on well
The Bepublicaii leaders in Ohio are en
tirely confident. Sherman is busy in tin
Senate , and never was stronger or nion
active and influential in that body ; For
aker starts to day on a New York stump
• speaking tour ; McKinley has been ii
' Georgia ; Grosvenor has campaigned ii
I Maine ; Butterworth is booming in Con
necticut aud New Jersey ; Foster has no
| been heard from on the stump. Ohi <
is coinfoitable , and the election is Jul
six weeks off. If we had old-style Oc
tober elections the political temperature
would be very high about these days
Under present arrangements our heater
term is a month later than under tin
old conditions.
The Old Jlom.ui gives evidence ol
having been hit hard by the reeeptioi
the country gave to his brutal reference
to the negro aj ; a "very prolific animal"
and he is endeavoring to make repara
tion in taffy every time hegc t * > up to make
a speech latch * . lie. claim * to have been
brought up with a young African and t <
have loved him very much , and to have
always cherished an affection forthe sun-
kissed black man. But he is in dangei
of carrying his affection for the African
too far. It isn 't the darling lover of the
African that we want in the white
house , or as the heir thereto , but the
man who will not swindle his dear friend
of his vote whenever it is necessary to
elect a democrat to congress or the
presidential chair. It is justice and not
love that the negro craves
General Harrison is vindicating
his title to the honor he is wearing with
such quiet dignity. Every day brings
him nearer to the peoples hearts. Every
word from him adds to the respect and
esteem in which he is held. There is
that in the man which is compelling
his foes to do him homage. His parti
sans can t ay no higher tribute to his
private character than the testimonies
of political enemies. Under the fierce
light which has beaten upon him since
his nomination no spot or blemish has
been disclosed. Through a lonir public
career he has worn the white flower of
a blameless life. American political
history has a few parallels to the swift
growth of General Harrison in popular
estimation.
Irishmen have had their free trade
experience. They have been eye wit
nesses of the ruinous results of the ap
plication of the Eugli.sh policy to Ire
land , and many of them sufferers from
it. They look back to the daS when
Ireland had twice the population she has
today , when Irishmen were individually
prosperous and happy and the nation
enjoyed remarkable prosperity , then to
the change that took place when JSng-
Iand despoiled her of her factories and
made her , as far as possible , what "God
intended her to bean , agricultural coun
try , " last at the condition in which she is
to day , and they want no legislation for
this after the "
country patterned "Eng
lish idea. " And they are right.
It can hardly be necessary for me to
; ay that I am heartily in sympathy with
tho declaration of the convention upon
the subject of pensions to our soldiers
uid sailors. What they gave airl what
they suffered I had some opportunity
: o observe , and in a small measure to
ixperience. They gave ungiudgingly ;
t was not a trade , but was an offering.
The measure was heaped up , running
) vcr. What they achieved , only a dis
ant generation can adequately tell.

Governor Hill is to visit Indiana
n October to make several speeches for
he Democrats. Tnis shows to what
itraits the Administration people are
Inven when they appeal to the man
resident Cleveland has done his best
.0 . humiliate to come out into Hoosier-
lom and help hold up the Aduiinistra-
ion hands. Mr. Cleveland is beginning
o realize that Indiana is going to vote
or Harrison.
It is to be devoutly hoped that the
infortunate condition of affairs among
he republicans of the GTth represeuta-
ive district may be harmoniously ad
usted. The demands of the party are
laramount to personal interest or spite. |
jet the electors of the district sec to it
hat their rights are protected ; even '
o nominating a new candidate outside
mth -iffected parties. •
Mr. Whitney is not going to resign ,
mtof Mr. Cleveland's cabinet to relieve
he administration of the odium of the
Standard Oil trustOn the contrary , he.
lav handed his check for $100,000 to the
hairman of the democratic national
ommittec to help to keep the wheel of
eferm rolling. It is money and not
epilation that is wanted just now by
he democratic part } ' .
Republicans must , not in their r-n-
husiasm over their state and u-itioual
lckets , lose sight of the fact that the
lext legislature elects a successor to
Senator Manderson. The democrats
iverywhere arc devoting their best en-
irgies in the hope of securing strength
mongh to elect McShane whose nomi-
lation for governor is simply a "blind. * '
jook well to the legislative ticket * !
I DO not believe that a Republic can '
ivc and prosper whose wage-earners do j
int receive enough to make life com-1
brtable : who do not have some npwaid i
venues of hope open before them. j
