The presidential campaign is now vir tually opnnod , do far as Nebraska is con cerned. The cill for the convention to elect delegates to the rnpublican national convention , which convenes at Chicago on the Itrd of Juno , is issued. It may bo well at the very outset that wo should define our position. On national issues THK Brn hai always been republican , and it proposes to ml- voo.ita republican supremacy in national affairs in the impending presidential campaign. The campaign in 188 i musl bo fought out between the democratic and republican parties , nnd bottvccr those parties wo do not hesitate to ox * press our preference for the party thai has never faltered in its loyalty to the Union , and to which belongs the crcdii f making the declaration of inJopoml nco a living fact. While it is true thai ho republican party has fulfilled the rcat mission for which it wai Tganizod by its founders , and ndmitMn ; it the outsat that there are no vital liv : ig issues which divide it to-day from th < omooratic pirty , yet wo do not bcliavi ho people of this country can bo gainer ; iy taking the reins of government fron 'opublicans ' and placing them in tin anda of the democracy. That part } OOB before the country in the preson ampaign as the chimpion of no groa oform and the opponent of no Iligran ibuso. Its battle cry in the present no tonal campaign , as indicated by the prc minary skirmish in congress , will bo 'Turn ' the rascals out. " In other worda 'Turn the republicans out of ofllco , si , hat the democrats maycomu into oflico. Taking it for granted that the platform f both parties will as usual bo inor 'latitudes ' promising what is popular am hat the democracy having a later convon ion than the republicans will promia roator things , wo take it that the demo ratio party before ousting the ropubli ana from power must show by its con uct that it will give us bettor govern nont than wo now have. The democratic party has had full cor trol in Now York and almost the firs , ct of Governor Cleveland was his vet f the elevated railroad bill , whicl remised to give the workingmen i tfow York cheap faros from their work ihops to their homos. In Ponnsylvani ho democratic legislature piled up half lillion in taxes iu a fruitless wrangle o ix months , in order that its member might pocket ton dollars a day. Th aloction of Henry B. Payne as the sue aof to George II. Pondloton showi exclusively that the Ohio democracy ii tot only bitterly opposed to the roforn f the civil service , but the abject nlav f the most venal of monopolies. Th urrondor to the railroad cormorants b , .ho . democratic congress ia atrikingly i ] ustratod by the abortion which tin democratic commlttoo on commerce ha lubstitutod for Mr. Rcagan'a bill to rcgv ate tbo railways , and the cowardice o hat party is exhibited in its troatmon f the proposed revision of the tariff. . larty that has not backbone enough t ihampion n single vital issue cantu inliat the aotivo sympathies of men wh osiro to introduoo administrative re 'arms into national government. Whil wo propose to adhere to the ropublica arty in the impending national can iaign wo htwo by no moans comtnittc TUB BKB to support the republican car didatos nominated in Nebraska in th coming state campaign. Not only d wo intend to maintain our indopondonc n supporting or opposing candidates fc ocal offices , but wo propose to adhoi more firmly than ever to the principle of anti-monopoly. The republican party of Nebraska be alien under leadership that does not ii spire confidence among the masaoa. lias utterly failed when put to the test < redeem its sacred pledges to the pr ducora , and it will bo a long time befoi t can regain the ground it has loit. Tli railroads must go out of politics in Ni braska in fact as well as in nimo , bofoi the anti-monopolUta of this state wi consent to disband , and resume the 'armor ' party nlloglanco. Nobody wi take greater pleasure than THK BKK i restoring harmony and loyalty republicanism and its cnntl dates , but wo cannot atulli thia paper by asking those who hui given it their confidence to take ai stock in the professions of anti-monopo which are made by brass-eollarod.rapub' ' cans who want to ride into ofllco by mea of their votes. Lot there bo no misundc standing about our position. Wo propo to support a republican for president b causa wo do not believe the condition the country would bo bettered by oloi ing a democrat. In any local campaig whether it involves a constable or congressman , all things baiag equal , i prefer republicans to democrats , but ' shall prefer an honest democrat to a d honest republican every time , and shall oppose .every railroad capper n monopolist under any nud all circui stances , OHKGO.V republicans will hold tin convention to nominate delegates to 01 cage , on April 30th.

A combination of misfortunes has been the cause of producing very hard timoa in Oregon. The extreme cold weather of liwt winter destroyed the wheat plant ing of the fall previous , nnd the next sea- on a drouth occurred being the first vor known in Oregon and almost ruin- d the crops. The salmon industry ba < amo seriously omb.irr.iiicd , and next amo Villard's colhpso , which drew from ho country a largo amount of ready money * On the wheat crop , § 2fiOOO- , 00 ; on the fruit and vegetable crops , 12,000,000 ; on salmon , $100,000 , and ir took speculations , $4,000,000. The on- ro annual income cf Oregon ia loss thai : . ; ! 0,000,000 , and consequently the above asses , amounting to about one-third ol or annual income , are a staggering blow that usually prosperous state. Dur- ng the past month there have boor wonty suspensions and assignments ol Id and prominent business houses , and t is aaid that the trouble has only jual iogun. The cessation of railroad con truction and the withdrawal of the large 'orco of workmen have stopped the In ux of money which for a period made ush times in Oregon. It is said that il 8 almost impossible to borrow money it Oregon , as the banks have boon losers wing to Villard's failure. The mor ihanta find it very didicu't to make col octiona , and business of ull kinds i rippled and at a standstill. The cffcc if the hard times in Oregon is felt quit heavily in San Francisco , whoso jobber TO largo creditors of the Oregon mor ihauts. However , the San Franciac obbora will probably give their distress ad customers liberal treatment , as th prospects are that that state will rapidl recuperate and regain its former proa pority. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TKA.DE SITUATION. Trade throughout the country haa no mprovcd materially during the past wee ! or two. One of the causes of the proson dullness in the eastern markets ia th floods in the Ohio valley. The merchant if Cincinnati , Louisville , and other citio and towns in the flooded districts , hav boon crippled in their businoaa , and hav delayed their purchases. Trade in th iouth ia reported to bo in good condition n the north and northwest there ia aom ittlo improvomont. Although there i 10 particular activity the trade aituatioi s upon the whole satisfactory for thi oason of the yoar. The jobbers an looking for a healthy spring trade , am ixpoct that it will open up quite early The Philadelphia Jiccord thus sums uj ho situation : The jobbing trade in most lino's ia enl ; moderately active. Local and countr ; orders , as a rule , are for small lots pro portioned to actual requirements , am when thoao are supplied buyers rotir rom the market to await a reduction o itocks before duplicating purchases. Ii dry goods the aggregate movement f ror firat hands has fallen of somewhat , especially pocially in cotton goods , of which thpr has boon a very largo distribution durin the past month. Trade in thi "iuo has boon very fair , however and the market shows a stron from , owing to the lessoned output o the mills and the fact that values are stil as low as compared with the cost of prc duction. The woolen goods market ha not developed the activity expected , bu demand is improving. The productioi of spring woolens has boon unusual ) ; H 011 sold up by manufacturers , and som mills are still working on duplicat ordon. A good deal of machinery i now running on heavy goods for the com ing fall and winter trade , and there wil bo a general change to this class of pro duction as soon as spring ordars are com plotod. The worsod mills are very busy and there is a continued good domain for woolen yarns. The raw staples slim little change in price , and are eollin chiefly in email lota to moot the noa wanta of the looms. The anthracite con trade is more active , and the supply a tidewater shipping points has conaidora bly decreased. Thorp have boon fo\ largo transactions in iron pr stool , but good aggregate business in both crud and finished producta hua boon done ii small lots. An improving trade ia conti dontly expected by the loading compan ioa. Prices on grain and provisions ar lower thun a week ago , but thor is little real change in the uitun tlon. The markets are large ! under speculative control , uud the ck clinu la duo iu part to manipulation , n wna the previous advance. Values 01 hog producta are not generally rogurdoi as high , in view of the comparative ! smtvll packing operations and the cost c hogs during the present season ; but th sharp changes in the markets , indicotin speculative treatment , have impmro confidence on the part of foreign buyer : and the outward movement at the me mont is light. Exporters have continue * to purchase very sparingly , and apeot alien is halting and undecided. Th took of winter wheat ia decreasing in a markets , and western millera mio payin almost us much in Toledo , St. Louis an at other interior points as can be ol bined on the seaboard , This and tl uncertainties of the crop outlook are tli features of the situation thai influent moat of the present buying for higln prices ; but their effect upon the Ronon market is outweighed by the dullness e the foreign trade.

It is the same old song , "Gobble ! gobble ! gob- blol" WEST OF Tltli I tis only a question of a fo\v years when the Union Pacific will manufacture its own stool rails and steel for building purooscs. The enormous amount of that metal required in the operation of the dozen or more roads controlled by the company would keep a largo sized plant usy from ono end of the year to the thor. President Sidney Dillon has been [ uiotly investigating the subject for some imo and the Pittaburg Commercial thus otcs a recent visit to that city : "President Sidnny Dillon , of the Union , 'acitio Hallway company , was in the city few days ago. The project which irought him is a big one ) . Ho was quiet ly investigating the subject of Bessemer itcol rails , both the cost aboard cara and ho cost of manufacture. 'Ilia plans con- .omplato . the erection of a Bessemer plant arger than the Edgar Thomson for the ox- ilusivo manufacture of steel for steel rails , tructural purposes , and for engine and iar building. The result of the investi gation was tha deference at present of the active prosecution of the work. Mr. Dillon was interviewed on the subject. Uei aaid that the present state of the nurkot made it possible to buy railo as cheaply as they could bo made anywhere , but that hii company did not expect pros- nit prices to rule long , and they could at oust save the hauling by making their own rails. 'Our road , ' saiel Mr. Dil- "on , 'will use our entire product. Wo will make our own rails , our own bridge and culvert steal , and pretty soon we well innko our own cara and locomotives. ' The orders for machinery , furnaces , etc. , will bo placed in Pittaburg shortly. " It ( ia among the possibilities that Omaha will be selected as the point foi the works. It is now the grout distribut ng depot of the company and by far the .argor quantity of the metal .would be needed for locomotives and bridge mater ials turned out at the shops in this city. The question of cheap fuel does not now enter into the manufacture of this metal , as it has been proven beyond doubt thai the very best of steel can bo produced from furnaces neatcd by the crude oil process. The oil can bo broueht from Wyoming while the mountains of iron 111 Utah and Colorado would furnish an in * exhaustible ajpply of oro. Such an in stitution would add one thousand men tc the pay roll of the. company and prove profitable alike to the company and the city. The fact that the sonata committee oc territories has recommended that the Yellowstone National park ba placed un der the juriadiction of Gallatin county , Montana , has roused the wrath of all Wyoming. "Nothing could bo more in- ulting , nothing more outrageous , " ex claim the territorial prcas in ono voice The fact ia that congress cannot well dc otherwise , as northern Wyoming is sc iparcoly settled that a court to try of- ondera could not find shelter within one mndrod miles of the park , while Living at on and Bozoraan in Montana are at the only accssible door at present to the won- derland. To'givo Wyoming juriadiction would entail enormous expense in bringing - ing prisoners hundreds of miles south foi trial. The annato bill as amended , en larges the park thirty milca on the east and ton miles on the south , and cuts of ] two miloa on the north and west. The bill contains stringent prohibitory provia ions relative to killing game or taking fish within the park. The secretary ul the interior is authorized to lease amal portions of ground in the park , not ex ceeding ton acres for each tract , on which may bo erected a house , for a period nol exceeding ton yeara , but aush loaao ahall not include the goyaprs or other objectf of interest or curioaity , or exclude the public from free and convenient approacl thereto , or include any ground within n quarter of a mile of any geyser or Yel lowstone fall ; nor shall there bo leased more than ono tract , not exceeding tor acres , to any ( .one person , association 01 corporation. The Hatch hotel company , whichistart ed In last spring with a loud flourhh tc fleece tourists at the late of $ ( > a day , ha : gone to the wall , and is now numbered among the bankrupts of the west. The property of the concern haa been taker by Memtana oroditora. The trouble aeoms to bo that Uncle Rufua failed tc keep his promise to take $500,000 ol stock. The Snnn Land and Cattle corupanj s probably the richest and moat exten sive proportioi on the plains. It is at mportant factor in the Omaha SteelYards Yards scheme , and will doubtless furnisl largo number of the beeves to hi alaughtored hero in the near future. Tin argost transfers of property over madi in Wyoming waa recorded by' this com pany in Ohoyonno last week. The con idoration was $2bS8,8'25. The property orty consiatod of 88,000 head of cattle besides ranches and improvements , horse ; and personal property , all situated ii Laramie county. This was simply tin swallowing of n number of email concerns corns by the giant company , making i the most powerful cattle corporation ii the territory. It Bhows , too , how rapidlj all the small fiah in the business are boinj devoured by the whaloa of the plains Similar wealthy companies have sprung into- existence , in the past year , in Ne braska , Montana and Colorado , and in t short time the cattle business of tin country will bo in the hands of a few. The managers of the Oregon Shor Line are actively at work on plans for ex tending the road the coming summer. 1 connection will bo made with the Oregon Hallway and Navigation line nea * ho western boundary of Idaho. Tin first winter of the road has boon an un profitable ono. Snow ntorm aucooodee snowstorm , until the track was , cove roc by from one to twenty foot of snow. Ii ono instance a train was snowed in uoa Hailey , and hold in the frigid erip of thi blizzard for over sixty hours. A portloi of the road had to bo entirely abandonee iu the past three weeks owing to the sue cession of mow storms and the inability of the company to secure a sullicien number of hands to keep the track clear This is a repetition of the experience o all new roads ins. mountainous country it winter.

The administration of justice in Col orado ia not always attended with satis- 'actory results , except when Judge Lynch presides , nnd it is not atrango to liear of the summary hanging of quacks , murderers wr horao thieves in different : > artn of the stato. A recent case before Judge Itognrs , of Denver , illuatntca the uncertainty of jury verdicts. The pris oner was charged with Qdiapoaing of mortgaged property , and the evidence was so strong against him that the court instructed the jury that their duty was plain to bring in a verdict of guilty. It was just the reverse , and callol from the court the following scathing rebuke : "Thorp haa been a great deal aaid lately regarding the administration of justice in the state of Colorado , and I deem that at this time I should be doing injustice to my position and the people whom I am put hero to represent , to pasa by a verdict of this character. The evidence in the caao was clear and plain , and under dor the instructions of the court there was but ono obligation imposed upon you , and that was to find the defendant guilty as charged. The result of verdicts of this character ia to produce such of fences as have given a very undue prominence - nonce to Colorado throughout the entire country , arising from transactions auch as are notorious in the way of what is termed lynch law. When jurora forgot their oaths , when they refuse to obey what ia required of them by the dictated of justice and by the requirements of the community in which they live , we cannot blame the people who take the law in their own hands and hang the in nocent as well as the guilty. It ia a ncceasary consequence of verdicts of the character of tins , where the evidence waa all ono way , and whore , under the inatructions of court , there waa but one conclusion to bo arrived at. The oxhorbitant tolla of the Northern Pacific railroad , and discrimination iu fa vor of certain elevators to the ruin of others have forced the farmers of North ern Dakota and the Ilod River valley tc combine for self proaorvasion und to se cure by law a reasonable limit to the power of the monopoly. A convention of repreaentativo farmers waa hold at Fargo , February 21 , to dUcust measures of relief and form a compact force tc fight for their rights. Among the reao- lutiona wore the following : First We believe and advocate it to bo the duty of American citizenship to uphold and defend the rights of the many against the usurped piivileges of the fo\v. Second That corporations are creatures of the legislature , and should be controlled b ; the state. Third That tha right usurped by railroad * to establish minimum capacity and kind' ol equipment of elevators la contrary to public policy , calculated to doatroy independent com petition in the grain market and should be abolished by the stato. 1'ourth Au open market for the products ol our soil ; liberal rates for transportation , based upon the cost and risk of deliverance uith a fair profit Fifth The enactment of laws proscribing heavy damages nud Boyero penalties for viola tion o ! the law governing common carriers. Sixth Mora elfoclont laws governing the crime of bribery and heavy penalties for the granting of free I.MSCH. A memorial to congress was also prepared - pared and will bo forwarded to that body , with a copy of the schedule of freight rates of the Northern Pacific attached. The convention invites the co-operation of all organized bodies engaged in a sim ilar struggle iu neighboring states and territories. The KmmlKTiitUm Outlook. Chicago Times , Foteunty 25th.
