TIIK controversy as to t'lo authorship
of tlThoBroad-\Vitinors"has nt last boon
milled. Fordinard Ward was the author
of that work.
THE numerous financial failures may
have a depressing effect upon the men
who are in the habit of furnishing thu
"bar'l" for pros'dontial nominees.
Tan best thing the city council can do
is to repeal the Baldwin-Kaufman ordi
nance , and pass an ordinance that will
bo in strict conformity to the Slocumb
law.
Ir the Farnam street paving contract
ors make as rapid progress in their work
as the eowor contractors have done the
business men of the street will bo well
satisfied.
Ir Chicago speculators do not got up
a "corner" on convention seats that will
make the board of trade green with envy ,
the republican party may congratulate
itself over good management in a
wicked city.
A Bimi'LUB uf $155,000,000 was report
ed from the frowury a few days ago. The
emotion uf Mr. Morrison and the friends
of a horizontal revenue reform upon
reading the announcement can bo bettor
imagined than described.
TIIOSP. who wore so hasty to , condemn
Grant & Ward for their peculiar business
methods , can now pour out their denun
ciations upon the officials of the Ponu
bank at Pittsburg , who , with a capital of
only $200,000 to work on , managed to
steal inoro than $2,000,000. The only
thing found in the bank of any value was
the safe , and that was too heavy to bo
carried olT.
Bur very little has boon hoard from
Henry B. Payne and his presidential
boom lately. It is positively assorted ,
however , that in case Tildon declines the
nomination , which Is not very likely , ho
will accept the empty honor. The Now
fork [ Sun is kindly nhining toii Mr.
Payne just at present , and possibly it
m y succeed with him better than it did I
tn booming Hnlman.
THAT old war-hor o , General Crook ,
poasod through Kansas City Friday even
ing on hij way to West Point , to deliver
the address before thu graduating class ,
on Juii3 14. Incidentally , ho might stop
long enough in Chicago to bo entered as
a dark hnrso in the presidential race , No
bettor dark hone for such a race can be
found anywhere , and thu people of the
woat would like to BOO him cotno to the
front , if dark honoi are to hav any
show this timn.
: Tun found ition for the pedestal and
statue of Liberty in New York harbor is
completed. It stands on , Bodice's island
and is 01 feet equaro at the bottom and
rites G2 feet aboro the surface. Upon
{ his * the podMt&l will rise to a height of
117 foot , while the statue itself is 157
foot high , making the total height from
loir water 332 foot. * From the top of the
sUtuo the view will be superb , and eleva
tors wilt run up through pedestal aud
statue , The chief engineering difficulty
after getting money enough for the work
is to devise means for preventing the
Utue from uelng blown over by the
strong winds .
Aruoi'os of too crusade begun against
piano playin ? in Berlin , the Now York
Ttmeasays ; "Tho average German young
lady practices four hours every day , and
many German young men iinitato her
miserable example , Police statistics
show that the number of pianos in Ber
lin averages two and an eighth for every
home. Thus on every block of a Berlin
street there uro from 200 to 740 pianoi ,
according to the character of the street
and the financial circumstances of the
residents. In a block whore there are ,
say 400 pianos , each of which is in oper
ation four hours a day , it is evident that
there cannot bo a mumoat between dawn
and midnight when some ouo is not
practicing scales and exercises , or , wors
till , playing Wagner's muuio. "
THK COM T NO
The national republican convention
which moots in Chicago this week will bo
in aomo respects thu most notable of tiny
which h s assembled sinca the githcring
which placed Abraham Lincoln in nom
ination twenty-four yonra ago. Like that
it will thoroughly represent the wishes of
the inissof the pirty. The clamors of
four years ago against tin appointment of
dolegiitos-at-largo and the use uf the gov
ernment nnc'iitiory ' in the election of
ofllcu holding delegates cannot thin your
be raised , The trtlicj huldurti and poli
ticians directly connected with the ad
ministration of the government who will
occupy son's ' in the exposition building in
Chicago will 1 > J proportionately fewer in
number than for many years previous.
District representation , and the under
standing th.it the unit rule nnd gag law
have had their day , have combined to
sucuro a party representation which ,
whatever the result , no ono can doubt
will fairly voice tno predominant party
sentiment. The conservative , substan
tial and rural ulements of republicanism ,
have never boon inoro thoroughly ropro-
rcsonted , and the "country delegates"
will fill a much larger number of seats
than is usual on Decisions of a hko char
acter. While thin ia the case , many of
the old uur horses ot republicanism , will
bo present to give their voice and aseiat-
anco to the party counsels.
Few party conventions have assembled
of late with loss unc unpromising hostility
among the competing cunuidates. Thu
iiurco political antagonisms between party
chiefs , which rendered the Chicago con
volition of 1880 so memorable , and whose
over the country leas than a year later ,
will not bo repeated in the present
gathering. The preliminary canvass ,
which hai collected a following inoro or
loss strong around three prominent
names , has not rout the party into three
bitterly opposing factions. The outcome ,
however disappointing to the friends of
the defeated candidates , is not likely to
leave in its woke the rankling wound * of
the convention which nominated James
A. Qarfield. There will ba no sulking
in their tent * by discomfited party lead
ers. No ono who is familiar with the
character and sentiments of the president
doubts for a moment that , whoever maybe
bo the choice of the party , ho will bo sup
ported cheerfully , cordially and oner-
Helically by Mr. Arthur and his friends
The record of James O. Blaine in the
past is suflicioiit guarantee of his sterling
republicanism and party patriotism , oven
in the midst of personal disappointment.
And wo are not inclined to credit the
throats of disalToction and revolt , which
have coino so far only from the friends
of Senator Edmunds , in case their candi
date fails to secure a prize , which ho so
strongly insists ho does not desire. A
party patriotism which fails in its mani
festation , in the face of personal loss , will
not , wo firmly believe , secure the en
dorsement of the statesman senator from
Vermont.
Whatever may bo the result of the
coming eonvontion , Mr. Arthur's friends
will have no cause to bo chagrined or
mortified over the outcome. Their pro *
forrcd candidate haa made a clo n ,
straightforward and honorable canvass.
It has boon a canvass in which no candi
date has boon personally assailed to build
up a platform on which the president
could stop to n ronomination. The part
isan friends of J. G. Dlaino cannot iu fair
ness complan that his record has been
attacked by the friends of thu adminis
tration to weaken his personal support ,
or that the patronage of the government
has boon prostituted to displace officeholders -
holders whoso preferences have boon ex
pressed for the candidacy of the man
from Maine. If doubts have boon ex
pressed by prominent journals as to the
availability of Mr. Ulaiuo as a party
standard-bearer in comparicon with Mr.
Arthur , they have almost without exemp
tion been coupled with a cheerful ac
knowledgment of the brilliant services
rendered by the "plumed knight' to the
ciuso of personal and political freea
dotn , and a wide - reaching , sound
and patriotic foreign policy. Hlant
der , detraction and innuendo have
been weapons mod by other hands ; they
have certainly not boon wielded against
politic il opponents by the following of
Chester A. Arthur. Mr. Arthur's can
vass has been based not upon promises
of what is to comobut upon an appeal to
whatthoadministration haiaccomplished.
That appeal to the records has received
recognition in every republican conven
tion which has mot to Dominate delegates
to the coming convention. No final de
cision as to the availability of competing
candidates can reverse the verdict so
freely and unanimously given , a verdict
which is to-day cheerfully endorsed by thomas
mas * of the republican party throughout
the country.
TUB democratic papers of the state are
shedding an Immense quantity of ink in an
effort to prove that the late state conven
tion was for and against free trado. The
free trade editors claim ihtt the election
of Morton as a delegate to Chicago was a
free trade victory , while thu Omaha Jfor-
a W assorts that he
was tlectod , not on
account of his free trndo viuws , but as u
compliment to his popularity as a leader.
The fact of the matter is , had the ques
tion of free trade been the test of Mr.
Morton's strength in the convention ho
would have been beaten by a considerable
majority His supporters , under the
leadership of MileaZentmyer.wero bi-atun
in the teat vote for the temporary chair
manship , 182 to 00 , aud thu aumo vote
would have burled free trade out of sight.
Morton's tfupjnrtoru kuo v this fact in ad
vance , as waa shown in their anxiety to
elect four instead of one delegate at largo ,
as was originally intended. The plat
form was manufactured in Omaha in ud-
vaiico , and thu leaden in this city , iu-
eluding the editor of the Herald , were
its authors. This accounts for the failure
to endorse the tariff reformers in congress -
gross , end the failure to endorse any
specific measure of reform. It was made
for the specific purpose of supporting the
"old ticket , " of Tildcn and Uondricks ,
and to that extent it is a nticcoes.
THK Chicago Herald finds considerable
fault with the ministers and the Women's
Christian Tompcranca Union for praying
fur the republican national convention
and the candidate to bo nominated , near
ly nil of them taking it for granted that
ho is lo bo elected. In nil of those
addresses to the throne of grace no men
tion was tnado of thu democratic party.
The JTcrald claims that this is mani
festly unfair , uncharitable and irreligi
ous , and concludes its protest as fol
lows :
It may bo said that the democratic con
vention does not meet until July , nnd
that it is too early to begin praying for it ,
but this excuse will not answer. It is
never too carl } to begin praying for the
democratic party.
Who over hoard a minister of the gospel -
pol pray for the democrats ? Who ever
lieird ft preacher a k divine guidance for
them , wisdom for their councils , nr conr-
flgo add gracu for their loaders ? Is the
party deemed mcorriyiblo by the breth
ren , or do they pray as they vote ?
The democrats may bo in need
of prayer , but they do not ncod it aa
much as they do votes. They would bo
willing to trade elF a good sized prayer
for a vote , ai prayers are easier made
than ballolp.
TIIKIIP. has boon a great deal of tilk to
the efl'ect that tlio only republican who
can carry the Pacific coast in the next
presidential election is Jnmoa G. Blulno
and that , thert-faro , ho ought to bo nomi
nated by all moans. The idea that no
other republican loader can carry the
Pacific coast is an erroneous ono. The
republicans of that coast stand ready to
give their solid support to the choice of
the national convention , whoever ho may
bo. Tlio Sin Francisco Chronicle , which
is a strong Blaine paper , and is urging
his nomination on th grounds of his
superior claims to the honor , and his
ability to intuso enthusiasm into the
party wherever it is needed , eays : The
ate of California may bo counted on for
10 republicans at the coming election
ith as much confidence as Vermont or
jwa , whether the name of Blaine , or
rthur , or Edmunds , or Logan , or Sher-
lan , or Lincoln heads the ticket. Local
auses have disrupted the democracy and
orn it to tatters hero. It has boon tried
id found wanting , both in honesty and
aility. It is nn army with many generals ,
1 incapablu and pulling apart.
SAMUKL J. Tildon , who has ono foot in
th lie grave , ought to make the same nr-
angomont with his family physichn that
iVilliam King , a rich old London mor-
thant , made with his physician. Ho
clw
clpi rilled 81,000 to his physician , with the
pi revise that the sum should be doubled
01 very year that the testator should bo
01ki
ki opt alivo. The second year the sum bo-
amo $2,000 , the third year , $4,000 ; the
ourth , § 8,000 ; the fiftn , $10,000 ; the
si ixth , § 32,000 ; the seventh , $04,000 ; the
ighth , $128,000 ; the ninth , $250,000 ;
ho tenth , $512,000 , Upon the death of
ilr. King a few weeks ago , the physician
as paid $7f > 0COO , between ton and
lovon years having passed since the
Rroomont.
TUB term " "
"vigilance committee" may
0 objectionable- some persons , as a
igilanco committee is generally organiz
ed to hang some ono that needs hanging.
Wo therefore amend our suggestion by
ailing the proposed committo o"citizons"
committee of law and order. " Lut such
1 committee bo organized for the purpose
if ollboting certain needed reforms in
his city. Such a committee could do
lorao very effective work by rounding up
ho crooks , bruisers and outlaws goner-
> lly , and compollimg them to leave thu
ity. It might succeed in thu way in
mtting a atop to the numerous robberies
ud burglnrios. It might also induct ) thu
police duty to bo a little muro vigilant
a n J aotivo in the performance of their du
ties. It might also indued Mayor Chase ,
to appoint u now marshal , and then resign
sign from hii ollioo. A "citizju'd com-
11 nitteo of law and order , " meaning bus
i ness , could i-asily accomplish all this.
Tim two leading candidates at thu
opening of the national republican con
vention will bu Arthur and B'uino ' , and
the friends of both claim that their candidate -
date will bo nominated on the third bal
lot. They should not forgot , however ,
that in the last
convention 30 ballots were
taken , and that the leading candidates ,
Grant and Blaine , were scooped by the
dark horse , Garfield , who started in on
the second ballot with only ono vote.
There is always a chance for the dark
hone.
