THE fanners are busy now disposing of weeds. They will attack tno political barnacles later. COHN will be king again this year in Nebraska , but small irruin will dispute for a place in tlio royal agricultural fam ily of our slate's productions. MAYOR Hovu is said to bo willingo ( ap point a'ny man in place of Marshal Cuin- inings. "Any man" is an unknown quan tity and the council is not in the humor to humor the mayor. WOODKN blocks have begun to go down. In a few years they will begin to como up. There are more downs ami tips in the wooden block pavement than in any other form of paying material. THE greatest offense that Marshal Cum- inings has boon charged with is his latest one of appointing u deputy. Not long ngo Dr. Miller promised to act as deputy for Tat Ford if lie was elected sheriff. . THE charge is again made that Omaha Is being discriminated against in south ern Nebraska and on the Union Pacific Tvcst of Grand Island in favor of Kansas City. The attention of Commissioner Griffiths is respectfully directed to the case for oflicial investigation. THE state central committee has given nmplo time for organized work before the convention. Nebraska farmers will not lie obliged to endanger their crops by stopping work to attend to politics when they ought to bo in the fields. A Jato convention lias some decided advantages. SENATOR VAN WVCK will assist in letting loose the bird of freedom at sev eral celebrations ou the 8d and 5th inst. The senator is ou demand botli as n fipeaker among his friends and neighbors nt homo and an honest and fearless repre sentative of his state at the national capital at Washington. TIIKRH scorns to bo no intention on the part of the liurllngton road to permit the Klkhorn Valley road to maintain a monopoly of business in the northwestern part of the stato. Two hundred miles of the B. & M. extension from lirokon Bow will be built this year , which will carry the road to within a hundred miles of the Wyoming llne.about seventy miles south east of Chadron. CHAIRMAN HOUSK felt called upon to Inquire of the city attorney how iio could compel the laying of proper sidewalks in Omaha. The city attorney In reply sim ply directed Mr. House to the statutes mid ordinances. A little loss loafing and n little more study of his duties as an ofUctal niiuht enhance the value to the public of the chairman of the board of public inaction.

It slammed the door with n great bang against our sug gestion of an curly convention and fixed the date for thu 20th of September. In this instance the unexpected did not hap pen. On second thought wo rather think that the eleventh hour convention will give the farmers tv good chance to dead off the political bums and honnra- nlilc bilks who have contracted to deliver the party and state into thu hands of the monopoly bos-ses , Lincoln was selected as the place for holdIng - Ing the convention. Ttio surroundings of Omaha are aald to bo very unfavor- nble to the operations of the anti-Van "VVycU machine. Is is doubtful , however , whether 053 delegates can be handled nnd hoodwinked at Lincoln or any other place. The committee , which is made up largely of the old roustabouts , did not think U prudent to invite a squara issue in the convention ou paity preference tor United States senator. They did not feel quite confident about tha unpopu- jadty of Van \Vyck \ UIUOUB the rank anil In Congress. Under this head a contemporary offers a plausible explanation of the case with which certain legislation making de mands upon the treasury , ai for example private pension and relief bills of the character recently vetoed by the presi dent , gets through congre s , and of the difficulty there is in passing another class of legislation , as for instance such as interferes with tltoj schemes of railroad land grabbers , decrees the forfeiture of unearned lands by railway corporations and demands their compliance with the terms of con tract , or hi any way seeks to protect the government against the greed of corpor ations which have fed fat on the munifi cent favors extended by the nation , grow ing conscienceless and exacting in the degree that the government has boon generous and forbearing. A chief reason for tills state of things , in the view of our contemporary , is the unfortunate circumstance that southern senators and representatives feel that they are , in a pecu liar sense , on their good be havior. As ono of thorn recently stated they feel bound to vote for all pension bills lest the accusation bo made against them that they are hostile to the dis abled soldiers of the union , while with re spect to the other clavs of legislation noted they are deterred from voting for it by the fear that they will bo charged with a reactionary purpose to undo what the republican party did for developing the resources and building up the ma terial interests of the country. It is not unlikely that there is some thing in this. Certainly so far as the pen sion measures are concerned it can bo readily granted that the representatives of the south are in a delicate position. It is a matter about which any meddling or interference on their part is very sure to bo regarded with severe disfavor , and however unjust it may be to assume that they can bo actuated only by a feel ing of hostility in respect of anything re lating to the union soldiers , it must still be admitted that it is natural. Hut with rrgard to the other class of legislation the circumstances are widely different , and southern representatives cannot so easily jubtify themselves in refusing to .support measures intended to protect the government from wrong and loss , and the people from extortion and abuse , by compelling the great railroad corpora tions which owe their existence to the muniliecncu and magnanimity of the na tion to fulfill the turms of their contracts with the government. What the republi can party did fifteen or twenty years ago in behalf of these corporations was done in good faith , and was approved by the country , but the corporations have abused the trust and violated the com pact. In demanding the penalties , there fore , of broken agreements , there is nothing undone except the greed and jobbery of thu soulless managers of these corporations , a consummation which the great body of the people-will most heart ily welcome. No member of congress who takes the trouble to acquaint himself with the popular sentiment of the country on this subject , as ho will lind it voiced in the press , need have any doubt respecting his duty as a representative of the people , nor any fear as to the consequences of his course if ho sustains the just demands of the govern ment upon these corporations. We quite agree with our contemporary that the ono tiling needed , next to integ rity , is courage in members of congress , and the great trouble is that most of them have neither whoa the interests of the people and those of corporate wealth and power are arrayed against each other , llio hope that this will not al ways be so is ono to bo cherished , but when grayo aud reverend senators bra zenly defy public opinion and with most specious reasoning refuse to forego the sale of their services to railroad corpora tions whoso affairs may bo subjected to their judgment and action as legislators , only the most cxaggorn ted form of op timism could discover in the situation or the outlook much that is reassuring. Changed HIH Blind. President Cleveland will be a candidate for a second term. His intimate friends admit the gentle impeachment , and his party associates at the capital treat the statement as a matter of course. It is true that bachelor Cleveland intimated that ono term would fully satisfy his presidential aspirations , but since that time wedding bells have played at the white house , and a president's bride has taken Her place in the executive house hold. Those who ought to know claim that his marrlago has wrought a change in the views of the chief executive upon the tenure of olllco question , nnd that Mrs. Cleveland's natural wish to spend a few more years at Washington has influenced the president to make no more disclaim ers of the kind mentioned. Tlioro Is no doubt that Mr. Cleveland's marrlago has strengthened him politi cally , U ashmgton is ihled with the praises which the beauty , grace nnd sim plicity of the white house brldo have called forth. Mrs. Cleveland has won kindly feelings towards the president from many a disgruntled party associate nnd called out from the correspondents of the press a chorus of praises which have assisted materially in hoightnlng the popularity of her husband , Women are often active elements In furthering politi cal interests. Mrs. Logan's work for her husband nmdo him senator. Lady Churchill and Lady llarcourt Jn England , both of whom are Ann > reaiJs , have brought tholr lords and masters into posi tions of public pranilnon.ee , and aided them in maintaining them , Mrs. Cleveland - land may prove the prcsldnnt's mascotto In securing a nomination , and , perhaps , ji re-olooUou at the hands of- his parly. Wo shall sco. Another Ulniulor. THE railway mail service of the coun try has grown into great magnitude and Importance , and if not the most valuable and indispensable part of tlio postal ser vice , is certainly not of less consequence than any other. No other country has so thorough , oHiciont and excellent a ser vice , It requires for the proper perform ance of tint onerous and dilllcult work men of more than ordinary Intelligence , who must also bo trustworthy and diligent. It demands rigid discipline. No branch of the public service ought to bo kept freer from political influence nnd partisan con siderations. When , ho entered upon his duties as postmaster general , Mr. Vilas seemed to have been duly impressed by these conditions , nnd very early gave ollicial assurance that faithful ixiui ulli- cicnt employes in the railway mall ser vice would be secure in their positions as long as they attended to their duties. It is now charged by the postal clerks that Mr. Vilas has notadhcrcdto his promise , nnd they cite circumstances in proof of their charges. The recent removal of a number of clerks on the ground of insubordination , the dis missed men being members of tlio Hroth- crhood of Railway Postal Clerks , an In surance association , wo believe , lias aroused the members in hostility to the postmaster general , nnd nu interesting conlliet is promised. The tendency must also bo to work more or loss demoraliza tion in the service , from which the public must suffer. We do not venture to pass judgment upon the merits of the issue , but the past course of the postmaster gen eral , together with a feeling of confi dence in the common sense and discre tion of the postal clerks , warrants a doubt as to whether Mr. Vilas has not made another blunder for which the pen alty must bo paid by the public. Tun packing-house organ haq served notice upon the democracy of the first district that there is ono democrat whom it will not support again for congress. Why "again" when it didn't support llrown two years ago. The threat of a bolt by the p. h. champion alarms no democrat in these parts as far as we can learn. Brown carried Douglas county by : ) ,137 majority two years ago in splto of the lire in the rear. THE bill introduced in tno senate on Wednesday , bv Mr. ICdmunds , providing that the president shall have the solo power of appointing n largo number of ollleials of specified classes without the advice and consent of the senate , is in line with the growing democratic idea hostile to the confirmatory power of tlio senate. Itgoes only psrt way toward tha abandonment of that po-ver , but as a stcpin that direction it wiL douhtless be heartily welcomed by democrats. Tun honors that have been lavished upon Oliver Wendell Holmes in Hngland are gratifying to American pride , and will make brighter and happier the de clining years of a life that has contributed eo largelj' to sweetening and making more joyous the lives of others. Some days ago Cambridge honored Dr. Holmes with the title of LL. I ) . , and Wednesday Oxford bestowed upon him an honorary title , both occasions having boon dis tinguished by enthusiastic manifestations of esteem for the American literateur. No living man in the world of letters bet ter deserves such high recognition. THE idea that Marshal dimming * v.'ill have to go because ho lias appointed a deputy is enough to make a horse laugh. Some fifteen years ago the Hernia demanded the head of Marshal Seward because ho carried a cane. There is about as much sense about the ono suggestion as there is in the oilier. Every marshal of Omaha except perhaps the last one , who was assigned quarters in Stout's stone breaking hotel , has had a deputy. Mar shal Hiitler had Llowyllyn for his deputy , and Mr. McClure was deputy for Wester- dahl. Appointing a deputy is an'awful offense which should bo punished by a stroke of the official guillotine. THE Ohio republican representatives in congress are not willing to allow the case against Senator Payne to bo dropped , and are making an effort to have the action of the privileges and elections committee of the senate , declining to in vestigate the matter , reconsidered. In tills they are sustained by Senator Slier- man , who is outspoken in his belief that there is good ground for investigation. There is reason to suspect that tha course of the three republican members of the senate committee who voted against an investigation was not prompted by motives altogether unquestionable. It is an interesting fact , if true , that General Logan expressed n desire not to have the vote in committee made public. ANOTHER bird of song has been en trappedard ono for whom the thousands of Americans who liayo heard her will always entertain a warm feeling of es teem and admiration. Christine Nilsson is to become the wife of Count Casa- Mirando , a hitherto successful Spanish politician , and will probably thereafter retire from the operatic stage. Tlio world of song could lose from its constellation no brighter or worthier star , and Amer icans , while wishing this excellent woman all happiness In her marital relations , will regret that tlidy may compel her to forego the purpoao slio had formed of making a farewell tour of the United States , for which and for whoso people she entertained the heartiest esteem. IT is an interesting instance of the re versals which time effects , that the rosl- donee Zaclniriah Chandler built in Washington - ington and occupied during the last year of Ills public career , where conferences of republican chieftains , wore hold , preg nant with great results , and projects wore formulated that made history , has fallen into the hands of the enemy. It is now the headquarters of the democratic congressional executive committee. A correspondent observes ! "I couM not avoid reflecting on the grief this label would cause some of the lamented Zachariah Chandler If It finds time in the abode of heavenly bliss to dwell upon earthly events. " It may bo hoped that whatever memories linger about thu fofnior homo of tha vigorous and uncom- proiulshig old patriot they will have- fin Influence In enlarging. anil strengthening the loyalty and patriotism of the men who are now in possession. TUB victory of the Puritan in thoytioht race of Tuesday will give the Boston boat renewed prestige and strengthen her in favor as the yacht that should again defend the America's cup. The victory of tlio Puritan was decisive , who having beaten the Prlsollla five minutes. A good wind enabled her to again demon strate her splendid sailing qualities and vindicate the superiority of her model , and her supporters will not have hard work to show that her defeats were duo wholly to unfavorable conditions of wind and weather , and not to defects of con structlon. The Mayflower , built to com- blue the best points of other crack yachts , has thus far proved a disappointment. Tim English yacht Galatea , which is to contest for the cup , sailed for American waters some days ago , haying ou board her owner , Lieutenant Honn , and hie wife , Who is ono of the most experienced aud devoted yachtswomen lu the world. The Galatea has not bexm successful this season in the English races , has shown no remarkable qualities , ajul Is pronounced by the London pap'ejrs inferior to several other British yaciits. The expressions on the oilier side indicate that there is no expectation of her winning the trophy , except by an accident , and American yachtsmen feel no apprehension regard ing the result of the international con test. A Ni\v : Youic contemporary has dis covered that Quenn VFctoria committed two glaring grammatical inaccuracies in her speech proroguing parliament , which as everybody understands , was not written by herself , but probably , as the custom is , by the prime minister in tills case Mr. Gladstone. The scholarly at tainments of the premier , however , and the uniform excellence of the grammaU cal construction of his writings , suggest that some other hand may have prepared - pared this address of the qticon. Her majeit } ' , it need hardly bo said , would not bo likely to detect any faults of grammar , particularly if in any degree technical. It may bo observed that as a rule the fault of these royal speeches is not so much in their manner as their matter. About the dullest and least sug gestive of all public documents that pre tend to review the affairs of a great nation are the ollicial speeches of Eng land's queen , THE representations of the American ministry at Madrid that the treaty rights guaranteed to American merchants trad ing with Cuba and Porto Hieo have boon disregarded , and thattiujustandiujurlous discrimination is practiced , have at last , after long and diligent negotiations , re ceived attention from the Spanish gov ernment. An order recently issued re quires that the American flag , in direct commerce with Cuba and Porto Itlco , shall bo in every respect placed on an equal basis with the Spanish in the con duct of articles that are products of and proceed from tlio United States. If this order is maintained it will remedy an in justice which has been long continued , but the unreliability of Spanish assur ances is proverbial , at least regarding' the relations of the United States with the West Indian possessions of Spain. Tins is duo mainly to two reasons , a dis trust of this country and the fact that the authority of the Spanish government ovorthnse possessions is not absolute. THR FlIJLil ) OK INDUSTRY.
