THE BEE PUBLISHING CO , , PROPS E. ROSBWATER , Editor. A. H.Fitoh , ttitnjar Dilly ClwuUtlon , P. 0. Bo iSS Omaha , Ncl > ; THKUE is an ovcraupply of presidential Ightning roda in the national republican convention. Tun nowBpapora of this city arc unani mous in denunciation of Mayor Ohaso nnd Marshal Guthrio. They nro a bad pair. Tjin Now York Morniny Journal calls the national republican convention the great political Derby , and beta that the dark horse will win. MAYOH GHASB has said that ho docs not care what the nowspapora aay about him. Wo are beginning to believe him. IIo is evidently lost to all ahanio. Tun Fourth of July orators are begin ning to "brush up for the occasion. " Omaha , as usual , will bo called upon to supply several oratorical windmills for country celebrations. ALTHOUGH the Indiana delegation , by a vote of " 8 to 2 , has decided to present the name of Bon. Harrison for the presi dential nomination , it is aafo to nay that the betting odds are 28 to 2 against hin being nominated. MOTTO to bo placed in full view of the republican convention : The republican party must go. [ Herald. Yea , the republican party must go into win , as usual. It is the party that haa the "go" in it. Tun Herald soys that "all the cranks in the universe seem to ivrito memorials to the republican convention. " They will bo on hand also at the democratic convention. The presentation of memo rials is a harmless nnd innocent amuse ment for the cranks. THE difference between western and eastern justice is thus 'pointedly illustra ted by the Chicago Jlcrald ; When western people catch a man who has robbed stage tpasaongors of seven or eight hundred dollars they hang him. When eastern people catch a man who has robbed the bank depositors of aovon or eight millions they ask the newspapers to reprimand him. TUB reason assigned for General Shorman'a refusing to allow his name to go before the republican national convention I tion is that ho did not wish to interfere in any way with the prosposta of his brother , Senator John Sherman. It is maintained by the General's friends , however that if the , senator were en tirely out of the field , ho would not hesi tate to nicopt the presidential nomina tion , GENERAL JOHN B. HKNUEUHON , who has boon selected ns the permanent chair man of the national rnpublican conven tion , was ono of the United States sena tors who voted against the impeachment of President Johnson. Holding au ap- poitment under B. IT. Briatow , General Henderson was the district attorney who prosecuted the members of the whisky ring in St. Louis. Ho was removed by President Grant , and was superseded by Bliss. TIIE Philadelphia Record hits the nail squarely on the head as follows : The panic in shares nnd kite-Hying banking docs not extend itself into solid business operations. There was no water to bo squeezed out of the prices of the great staples of trade. Iron , cotton , grain , wool , leather , cloths , nnd other i - commodities in the long list of nocossa- rior , nro not forced up or down by the pitch that has overtaken the speculators. The solid business of the country remains mains solid. QBOBOE ALFIIED TOWHSKKD , bettor known to metropolitan newspaper read- on u "Oath , " is making the most of the Chicago convention. IIo writes lonq letters to a half score of the great news papers daily , and their cent < yjts are always ways sure to bo readable. "Gath" 'is ' jjraphie , if not always truthful , and his scholarly ability and extensive acquaint ance among the moat prominent mou of the nation civo him nn advantage over cotemporary correspondents , TUB Chicago Jiatlway Jleview says that ono ot the most Important railways in the west is experimenting in the use of air brakes ou freight trains. The quoa- lion to bo determined is the expediency of increasing the speed at whioh heavy traina may bo safely drawn. The llcvlcw predicts that "some day euch equipment will probably bo general throughout the country and with good results. The ex ) press companies do not , of course , much fancy the idea , which means freight train speeds of - and twenty-five thirty miles an hour , but , nevertheless , if the railways can got commousuratoly increased rove- nuea for increased freight speeds the apeeds will bo forthcoming. " . THE PLATFORM. The platform ndopted by the national republican convention commends ilsolf lo every thinking man in this country. It is constructed in accordance with Iho principles of the great party of freedom and progress , nnd will moot with univorar sal approbation. No important question has been neglected , and every living is- sue has boon treated in n plain nnd straightforward manner. The administration of President Ar thur very properly receives n strong en dorsement in the declaration that hia emi nent services ore entitled to and will re ceive the hearty approval of every citizen. The dlflicult tariff question is handled in n way that will moot the approval of the gront majority of pooplo. 1th demanded thnt the imponition of duties on foreign imports shall bo made , not for revenue only , but shall bo BO levied as to afford security lo our diversified industries and protection to the rights and wages of the laborer , "to the end thnt active and in telligent labor as well as capital may have ito just reward and the laboring man his full ehnro in the national prosperity. " The democratic party is charged with the failure to relieve Iho people of the burden of unnecessary taxation by a wise reduc tion of the surplus. The republican party pledges itself to do what Iho democratic - cratic party did not have the courage lo do. It pledges itself to correct the in equalities of the tariff and reduce the sur plus in a way that will relieve the tax- payora without injury to the laborer or the great productive industries of the country. Full and adequate protec tion Is promised to the wool Industry. The principle of legislative regulation of railroads is fully recognized. The platform f.ivora legislation to prevent unjust discrimination nnd excessive charges , and to necuro fair and equal protection to the people and thq railroads alike. The claims of the workingmen have boon recognized by the favoring of the establishment of a national bureau of labor , the enforcement of the eight hour law , a judicious system of education , the denunciation of the importation of con tract labor , nnd the support of the pres ent law restricting Chinese immigration. The demand forthorostoratlonof thonavy to its old-timo strength and oflicioncy will bo approved by every man who has any pride in the prosperity of his coun try. The people of the territories will endorse the resolution recommending thnt the appointments of territorial of ficers bo made from among the bona fide residents. The continuance and improvement of the civil service reform is strongly recommended. The alien ownership of lands is em phatically denounced , nnd a demand is made for the speedy forfeiture of all land grants which have lapsed by reason of non-complianco with the nets of incor- poiation. The resolution calling upon congress to suppress polygamy , and to enforce the law by the use of the mili tary if necessary , will moot with universal endorsement. That wo are a Nation , with a big " N , " ia declared in the words that " the people of the United States , in their organised capacity , constitute a nation , nnd not a confederacy of states , " and that " the national government is oupromo within the sphere of its national duty , but the states have reserved righta which should bo faithfully maintained. " The republican platform is certainly broad enough for any man to stand upon. The declaration of principles is liberal in its scope , and in accordance with the pro gressive spirit of the ago and of the party. The platform of course has been con structed with a view of making votes , and in that it will bo eminently success ful , for the wishes nnd demands of the great mass of the people have boon con sulted and complied with. It is the plat form of the people , nnd the rep resentative of the principles embodied in it the nominee of the national re publican convention , whoever ho maybe bo will bo elected by an overwhelming majority. _ Tin : drowning of Major 0. K. Bab cock removes a man who gained an unen viable notoriety during the Grant regime owing to hia connection with the whisky ring. This wna the only blot upon his character , and time has done much to wipe that out. As n military ollicor ho made n good record. Major Babcock , was a graduate of West Point , and en tered the army aa n second lieutenant of engineers. Ho served through the war , being promoted from time to time , until ho reached the rank of major in the rog- ular army , and brevet brigadier-general. Ho was appointed aid-do-camp to General - al Grant in I860 , and became his private secretary when the latter was Inaugurated an president. The promotion of Major - Babcock to bo lieutenant-colonel in the engineer corpa was under consideration at the time ol his death. Had ho lived ho probably would have received the promotion - motion notwithstanding the revengeful opposition of hia old enemies in the whisky ring who were convicted while ho | - escaped , through the influence of Gener al Grant. TUB mayor of Philadelphia proposes to enforce the law against the use of fire crackers and iiroworka. Would it not beef a good thing for the city council ol Omaha to pats an ordinance prohibiting their USD in thia and city , then call or the marshal and police to enforce the law 1 It seems to ns that the Interests hoof the city ought to bo considered rather than the ono-day's pleasure of boys and rocklos * persona generally , THE resolution introduced in the na tional republican convention by Delegate Stobbins , of Arizona , to the effect that the appointment of territorial officers by the president of the United States should bo from actual residents of such territo ries , was very properly incorporated in hori plotfown. TheByatoinof appointing terri torial officers from all over the country is simply making the territories nn asylum ot place of retirement for played out politicians. The people of the territo ries nro getting tired of this way of doing business , particularly when thuy have among their resident population bricht nnd active men capable of filling any ofiico acceptably. HON. JOJIXJl. LYNCH. The election of lion. John H. Lynch as tomporaryjchftirman of the republican national convention was n recognition of the colored people of the United States , which they no doubt will appre ciate. Their representative , Mr. Lynch , not only possesses ability , but ho is a solf-mado man. His speech upon accept ing the temporary chairmanship of the national convention was n model of rhetoric eric and sound sonso. It reflected credit upon himself and upon his constituents. Mr. Lynch , who has riaon from the hnmblo walks in life , to positions of na tional importance , was born in Louisiana , in 1817 , of n slave mother. Had any ono told his mother , in the days of her son's childhood , that ho ono clay would pre side ever n great national convention of the party of freedom nnd progwa , and would bo elected to congress , she would have laughed at it as n flattering joko. At the cloao of the war young Lynch , having lonrnod the photographic art from the floating galleries , that used to run on the Mississippi , wont into busi ness for himself in Natchez , Mississippi. Ho took an intorcst in local politics and in 18C9 ho had iho honor of being ap pointed n justice of the pcaco. In No vember of the same year ho was elected to the legislature and iras re-elected in 871 , being chosen speaker of the house f representatives in that body. In 1872 o made n successful run for congress. e essayed to repeat his triumph in 1870. ut his election was contested , and his at finally given to General Chalmers. his did not deter his constituency from utting "him up . again in 1878 but .gain ( General Chalmers obtained the oat in the contest , although toward the list of the session congress adjudged him ho rightful occupant. Since the oxpira- 011 of his term ho has boon attending olcly to his two largo plantations in Idams County , Miss. Ho has , however , eon chairman of the state executive ommittoo for some time past. Ho is a omarkably intelligent looking man of - , of the complexion that outhornors would call a bright mulatto. iVhat education ho has ho has picked up , nd added to what a uhrowd mother wit .aa already given him. TUB startling intelligence comes from Hastings , by way of the Omaha Herald , liat numerous republicans and old oldioro in that vicinity "aro very indig- ant ever the selection of Lynch as tem porary chairman of the republican na- ional convention , and a largo number assort that they will not support the republican ticket no matter whov is the nominoo. The fooling of indignation ii running high. " If this is true it is really too bad that the republican convention haa jeopardized the interests of the par- y. The convention ought to immediate ly do something to allay the fooling of ndignation that is running DO high in Hastings. The announcement from Hastings will no doubt bo received with great deal of surprise and alarm among the loaders of the republican party. Tan barbarous "sun danco" of the Sioux Indiana nt Pine llidgo agency haa boon discontinued in accordance with in structions from the department of the Interior. LITERARY NOTES. "Tun UNION PAoirioTouiUKT , " which : hns just boon published by the passenger department of the Union Pacific railway , is ono of the few works of the kind that \vo have scon for oonio years. It is n guido to the health and pleasure resorts of the mountains and Pacific coast re- giono. It ia elegantly gotten up , ia filled with finely engraved illustrations , and ho text is written in a very entertaining nannor. It is fitting that n work like this should jo issued by the Union Pacific passenger department , because to the Union Pacific railway the public looks for transporta tion through the grazing lands of Neb raska and the grain Holds of Kansas , ibto the wondrous environs of the Rocky Mountains , and still further to the al most unknown Northwest , and on ate California. Depending on the Union Pacific for transit , the public naturally looks to that company tor information. While the subject matter is now divided into chaptora , the design has boon to make its divisions as indicated , independ ent each of the other. The tourist may thus start at the Missouri river and go ? to Ogden , and thence to Salt Lake city. Next ho may visit the Yellowstone Park and the Yosemite valley , or ho may consider Denver the primal point , and traverse Colorado regardless of other states and territories. The "Union Pad- fie Tourist" may bo had on application clto the Union Pacific passenger department , Omaha , "HAY SEED ; or how to develop speed in trotters and pacers , and steer them in a race , " is the title of a very useful little volume , published by the Toledo Blade printing and paper company. The ' author and compiler of thia work has en > < deavored to condense and crystalizo , in aa brief a manner as possible , the great fundamental principles of developing speed in horses , and believes that by a careful reading and attention to the con tent * of thia work , any man with horse cento and natural love for this noblest of all animals , coupled with a patient dis position a man who can"w it and win , " can become a successful trainer and driver. The work ia peculiarly adapted to amateurs and farmer boys , who can readily understand every word contained in the work without reference to the dictionary. The author has confidence the work will bo npprecatod , from the fact that it is the ouly brief treatise of iU kind in English literature that embodies all the information the amateur needs. lesm Tu KOLEOTIU , PUYBIOLOOV , by Eli F. Brown , M. D , , published by Van Antwort , Bragg & flo. , Cincinnati and Now York , is a treatise upon the human body , prepared with special rofbe eronco to its use in schools , The succes sion of topics adopted is such as long experience - porionco has determined is the best. The simplest parts are studied first ; the most complex portions are comidorod last. The succession of topics is based on n plain oraor of dependence. In presenting the various vital processes , nnd in the pxanito ination of any great organ , attention is first given to the structure and use of parts. Hygicno then follows closely , because the discussions of structure nnd use determine the hygicno , and point to its immediate consideration. This subly joct ia taught in the common schools in order lo impart a clear knowledge of the nature and use of the body , nnd to im- proas forcibly the ways and moans of maintaining ita health nnd vigor. Much nttontron is given to the care "f proper sanitary conditions in the homo , nnd to habits of honlthfulnoss in ordinary life. Emphasis ia given to the discussion of nuch habits as load to pain and disease. The clloctB of narcotics and stimulants on the body nnd mind are sot forth plainly and fully. The character of alcoholic beverages , tobacco , opium , etc. , receives special attention. The American Monthly , published by J. F. Gill , Chicago , which propos es to itself to become the Contemporary lloview of the West , and to give Chicago n periodical of higher tnno than any yet attempted , certainly presents n very cred itable showing that way for its first three numbers. The Juno issue contains a symposium on free trc.do nnd protection by Messrs. Hadynk , Smith nnd Van- Buron Donslow , respectively. Mr. Ap- plotpn Morgan , in a piper entitled "William Shnkspoaro and Mr. Francis Bncon'o Scrap Books , " denies that ho is an exponent or adherent of the Baconian theory , but admits that ho can see no reason why the Shakspoaroana should be willing enough to concede everybody else Fletcher , Ilowloy , MiddlotonNash , Lodge a hand in the playa , and oxcjudo an preposterous the name of Bacon nfono. unless because ho is ao formidable n rival that they are nfraid of what his claims might dovelopo into. If this now arrival among monthlies will continue to present - sent a3 pungent and thoughtful papers as this upon presidential candidates and outlookinga by Mr , Beorbowor , it will find no BUch word ns ' "fall" in iia lexicon. LAUDES DOMINI. A collection of spir itual songs , ancient and modern. Pub lished by the Century company , Now York. The novelty mid tne inorit of this arrangement ia that , while it contains many of the oldest and beat known com positions of Watte , Woaloy , CowporDod- ridge , and other oldfaahiouodwriters , it also embraces fine modern English hymns with compositions by Americans , showing indeed a selection nnd combination of the hymnology of a century and three-quar ters. Another peculiarity is that the arrangement - rangomont 13 such that hymns for the va- rioua periods of church service , ni well as in unison iriih the ordinary subjects of sermons , are also placed together. The paper 13 good and the typo largo and pleasant to the nye , and the nmaic of every piece is clearly printed to gether with the worda. And there is a series of indexes very useful and neces sary. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ STATE JOININGS. J. N. McElrny , a Fremont saloon keeper , was fined $07.05 for soiling budge to a lunatic. Threa hundred dollars have boon raised In Grand Island to paint the town pyrotocbnt- cally on the 4th. . A section of the FlaKe brldiro at' I'romoJfe , was moved by the flood Monday , but the damage - ago was repaired In a few hours , Lincoln haa boon at the mercy of the burg lar for two or three weeks past , and robberies were reported every night. The mayor has placed a premium of $100 on orory burglarious- head shot full of holoa. A woman named Praizor caino BO near bo jng cruxhod by tbo cars at North Bond , Mon day , that a portion of her dress was torn by the whoeli.

Since the opening of the natural gas well on the Westiiif-houno premises in I'ittsbug throe contract * have boon signed for the boring of now wells to secure 3da KH3 supply for manufacturing purposes , The gas aror are being discovered at points remote from where it was supposed to exist. cdm An ollicor of the International Union of Store Moldera said that stops would bo taken nt the next mooting to place the store molders on a basia like that of ho iron workers , ao thai ; atrikcs could bo ordered nnd carried on in districts , The trouble is that there are more otoros in stock than can bo sold for some months , and there are molders than can bo em ployed , though this does not apply to the local industry. The Western Kail Association is find ing the objticlos in the way of its syndi cate almost inseparable. The secret is that apmo firms possess advantages and facilities which cuablo them to undersoil others , and they refuse to shut down to help the others out. There is on extra ordinary consumption going on , but still there are many more machines than reef needed. After all that haa bo en said in favor of arbitration , it moots with but very little ; genuine favor among the organized wage laborers of the country because arbitra - tion and organization are in ono sense rau - tngonistio terms. Where a labor organization jior zation Is unable to enforce iU desire or determination , arbitration is acceptable on the pica that "half a loaf is bettor than no bread. " Organized labor votes down arbitration generally , because is seeks to ignore and sot rsido organized labor and to suUtituto individuol action for organized control. The conference committee of the iron manufacturers and Amalgamated associa tion met in Pittsburg yesterday morning and signed last year's wages scale , with the addition of 20 per cent advance on steel nails and shoots demanded by the employes. The conference , which was in session only a short time , was very harmonious. This action averts a strike ( and insures steady work to 100,000 em ployes in the iron mills of the country for ono year , Iron-workers are jubilant over the amicable settlement ot threatened troubles. Powdorly is the ono pointed to by the waio-workera ( for the head of the newly created Labor Bureau at Washington. > Somd rather discreditable names nave been suggested also men who sought ; high ofllco and failed. Powdorly , though a democrat , could carry the almost solid republican nnd Greenback support for the place , and it is needless to say , no bettor name has boon suggested. The Pittaburg glass factories will re main idle nil summer , but these nt St. Louis and San Francisco will run , be cause of the vooy urgent demand fcr glass and the oiler of good wages. A co operative glass works has just _ started in to make glass at Bollairo , Ohio , making ton In nil nt that point. The Cleveland printers have been or ganized with the Knights of Labor. The thirty-second session of the International Union will meet in Now Orleans tomorrow row morning. The pcintors nro general ly well employed , and but few reduc tions of wages have boon mndo or at tempted. There lire 224 branches in the Inter national Cignrmakcra * Union , The S.in Francisco Ohinoao cigarmakors have gained three strikes for nn advance in vragcs within thrco months. Chinese labor is becoming scarce on the Pacific coast. The demand for tobacco nnd cigars is such OB to secure steady employment in all sections. It has boon given out that the bitu minous coal miner moots with welcome in the anthracite regions. Such ia not the ciso , excepting in the sense of turning out to hear what ho has to nay nnd what ho proposes to do. The fact is tint the spirit of organization has boon burnt bad ly. The mumorics of prosomitions , betrayals - trayals , of detectives in disguise , of fail ures , of short worl : nnd short pay , all riao up to hold depressed minors bick from any determined attempt to better their condition by organization. During the past vraak 'tOUO striking miners returned to work in Ohio , Indiana and Illinois. A quit t movement ia now on foot to spread the spirit of organization among the Wait furnace employes in the west. Heretofore every ollbrt has failed because - cause the furnaces are so isolated. The aim is to make the organization a lovor- ngo for the iron workers. If the Amal gamated Association could cut off the sup ply of pig-iron nt pleasure it would cer tainly add to their control nnd jeopardize the situation of their employers , which is at proannt by no means comfortable. That association has gained its power by ohrowd and capable management through twenty-five or moro years of existence. All the blast furnace mon about Pitts- burg nro organized , and thia means trou ble some day to the mill owners unless stocks can bo bought outside , or the furnace naco companies carry heavy stocks of thole own. Trades-unionism abroad is holding its own and is becoming moro and moro be neficial in its character. Leas nnd less of the striking spirit prevails. From the last report of the Amalgamated Carpenters in Manchester , it appears that twenty-two now branches were oponcd lust year , making 307 in nil , with buildings worth § 1508,000. During the yjar § 180,829 was paid out in sick , funer al , superanuated and accidental benefits. Trades-unionism in Great Britain is stea dily becoming an insurance movement. Labor troubles are threatened on the continent. Not ono-tenth of the agita tion ever roaches the puMic prints , It being the policy of the European press to not encourage discontent by publici ty. The Paris workmen are still sorely pressed with want , and privation iasomo- what serious in many of the provinces. Some intorcst is exhibited in American systems of organization , and some seeds will bo dropped there this summer. British ironmakora are bewailing the fact that during the first three months of this year 100,000 tons less of iron and stool rails were exported than in the first quarter of 1883 , and 200,000 tons less than in the same quarter of 1882. The railmakors , shipbuilders and furnace com panies are all in deep gloom over the out look ; but the British ironmaster has an enormous stock of pationco. Ho will use the dullness to crowd down labor organi zation and high wages. Four moro co-operativo stores have been established within a few days , The mistake generally made is in placing ox- workmen in charge , who know nothing of management and who will not learn. The subject haa its attractions for the wage workers ; but in nine cases out of ton all those who started aa managers of such concerns are now in business for them selves. The attraction of an independent business and .larger profits than can be earned as a co-operative manager lead to breaks and dissatisfactions whico send the Btoro to the bottom and the manager to the top. Quito a number of boya have been al- remiy sent out from the Girard College Mechanical Department and started in at § 3 to $1.80 per week. A prejudice has long ; oxioted against the boys from this institution , but under the excellent management of the young Mid energetic mechanical instructor there thnt preju dice is fast disappearing. Nearly all the boys develop an aptitude for tools and for work in and with machinery. They are taught in mechanics ono and three quarter hours twice a week for two years. The mechanical department is being rapidly fitted up to allow opportunities nitios for n largo Hat of avocation. The success which have attended the ion- who have gone outis stimulating others to greater attention. Machinists are being sought for tote to rising manufacturing towns in the South , especially in Tennessee , Georgia and Aalbama. The railroad managers there are building their own shops ; foun dries are springing up ; tools are in demand mand , and openings are multiplying for special talent. Several Eastern Pennsyl vania mechanics who have ventured there have struck good situations. The boot and shoo manufacturers , ofa this city are doing a good though not a rushing business for the summer and fall trade. Leather is moving downward in price , owing to the increasing supply. The larger manufacturers are all busy. Traveling salesmen are writting back en couragement , but heavy orders are not looked for several weeks. . The Brussels carpet weavers lo the idea of learners taking their ! S , and say that when they were learners they knew what it was to develop skill to manage a loom and do good work. They talk resolutely , and will fight aa lone as funds , patience and pluck last. The trifle of a cent or half-cent n yard , they say , does not enter into the ques tion of work or no work. The market simply does not demand carpet , and the employers , they say , are taking > advantage of the dullness to score another little advantage. The manufacturers yesterday put the matter in quito a dif ferent light , and. while declining to en ter into a discussion ever what the woav crnZaay , reply that prices are too high ; that they are above thoao current in Now England ; that trade competition is driving them more closely every year ; that demand this fall will not lot all their looms go to work , and so on. The past season haa been a very good ono the car pet trade , and it ia probable that , with fair crops this summer , the distribution thia fall and winter will bo put to all rea aonablo expectations.
