though it may become a prominent sub

WK are in receipt of the first number

has been founded to represent tlio colored

the Advocate is a production which does

poses to advocate. It gives some sound
and manly political advice to its patrons ,
which they will do well to heed. The
Advocate shows considerable editorial
ability and should ( hid a permanent place

If the arrotrant boasts In public and
private of the editor of the Ikrnhl arc to
bo believed , Mr. Samuel ,1. Randall is the
filioct anchor of the leader of the packing
licuse democracy of Nebraska. When
ever the political M-hcmes of the editor of
the Herald arc obstructed by popular dis
approval WP are at once treated to the
throat that Mr. Uandall has been inter *
viewed and will see that congress dis
poses of the matter as the editor direct * .
When the assaults on Surveyor General
Gardner began , the public was told
that the senate would never confirm
the nomination. The event proved
otherwise and prompt to the date Mr.
Kandall was dragged into the contro
versy. That bogus reformer we were
promised would attend to the matter of
Gardner's going , by cutting ofT further
appropriations for the continuance of tlio
surveyor's ofllcc.
i The same threat is now used with ref
erence to the Fort Omaha bill. Our board
of trade having sent their respectful pro
test against the * change of location , the
Herald again comes forward to eonjuro
with the name of Randall. Mr. Uandall ,
according to Dr. Allllor's organ , will ar
range that the bill shall pass the house
in spite of the objections of our citizens.
Now what business has Randall to meddle
with Nebraska ail'airs ? What relation
does ho hold to the editor of the Herald
that his name is so freely bandied around
and bis action as a public- representative
predicted months beforehand ? Is Sam
Randall , in addition to being a stool
pigeon foi the taritV robbers , the jump
ing jack of George L. Miller ?
More I'onsion VotocH.
The president on Tuesday extended his
list of vetoes by twenty-one , so that he
lias now to his credit nearly a round hun
dred , with probably more to follow. Mr.
Cleveland seems to have been quite un
dismayed by the criticisms of the senate
committee on pensions , made ti few days
ago , in which ho is charged with violat
ing tlio courtesies of ollieial intercourse
by disparaging the work of congress in
connection with pension claims. In Ids
current veto messages ho hits out oven
harder than before in condemnation of
what tyo regards as an unjust and unwar-
Tuilcd YDT : ; ! uwaj Of. , nublio jnone y
in this direction. lilooks , indeed , as , , u
the combativeness of the president had
been stimulated by the strictures of the
senate committee , and that ho would just
as soon as not have another tilt with that
body. Mr. Cleveland's charge of "blat
ant and noisy suit-assertion" is certainly
not polite , but it is entirely frank and
unequivocal , which is not always the case
with purely polite allusions , while the
general conclusions of his messages , as
reported by telegraph , go far to justify
his aution. A claim for pension by
reason of disability resulting from : i dis
ease contracted lifty-two years ago
might make a demand upon one's sym
pathy , but certainly could not bo ap
proved by one's judgment or souse of
justice. The other.case to winch the dis
patches refer must bo regarded in the
same light. It is quite possible that the
president's view of his duty in this mat
ter may carry him to the extreme of
unjustly excluding some worthy claim
ants from sharing in the bcncliconce of
the nation , but it is not questionable that
his purpose of weeding out unwarranted
claims , thereby compelling congress to
give more careful attention to these pen
sion bills , and of yielding less to senti
ment in tliis very practical matter , which
involves an annual expenditure of nearly
sixty million dollars , is right and merits
the very general commendation it has
received. The nation will not see a
single soldier sufl'oring from disability
contracted in tlio service , suflor for means
of support , but frauds and tricksters who
play the "pension dodge" should be
made to understand that they will receive
no sympathy when their deception is un
masked.
Temperance l aws in Two States.
The first day of the current month was
an eventful one in the states of Georgia
and Rhode Island , that being the date on
which the now laws relating to the sale
of liquor went into effect. I'lio course of
the temperance agitation in Georgia lias
been exceedingly interesting. The fierce
contest that has been waged for two
years past between the advocates of torn-
peranco anil the supporters of the liquor
trafllc , from which politics has kept en
tirely aloof , was regarded with a good
deal of concern all over the country. It
was a struggle that brought together in
unison of ollbrl and action men ordinarily
in hostility on other questions , and broke
down all barriers of race , color and con
dition , so that the republicans and demo
crats , white men and black men and
women too wore arrayed on either side
working with equal zeal ami vigor for
the accomplishment of the one purpose
for which they wore alllllatod. The
controvory was carried into every house
in the state , and no campaign was
over conducted with greater energy and
intensity by both parties to it. The
weight of intelligence and influence was ,
however , with the anti-license element
and they won the fight , A local option
law was added to the statutes , and when
the. question was submitted to the com
mittees , the struggle again went in favor
of the advocates of no license , oven the
city of Atlanta being carried by them.
At noon on July 1 tliu saloons and bar
rooms of Atlanta closed their doors , and
dispatches describe thu occasion as ono
of tlio most remarkable that the city over
experienced. The saloons were crowded
with a drinking and drunken mob , and
as they poured out into the Htrcots at
midday , thcro was a very pandomonlnm
of bhonting , singing and otlior boisterous
demonstrations , which were kept up late
in the night , for the patrons of the sa
loons had amply supplied themselves
with liquor in Jugs and bottles for keep
ing up a day's sproo. The law is said to
bo very stringent in its requirements , and
if properly enforced , as , of course , it can
not be , the moans of tippling iu tlio
metropolis of Georgia will bo very lim
ited.
ited.Tho
The law of Khodo Island is prohibitory ,
ami although there had been some doubt
as to whether there would bo any attempt
to enforce it , when the day arrived the
authorities proceeded with such evident
determination to put it into oflect that the
doubt was very Buinmnrily romoyod and
the saloon men everywhere cither closed
their doors or replaced their liquors with
such toothsome and nutritious beverages
as barley moud , buttermilk , lemonade
and root beer. The balaouists are deserting -
sorting the state , currying their stocks
with them , and a small army of bai-
kocpera bos been hirncd loose upon less
Inhospitable communjtics. The law is
llkoly to nffcct most seriously the hotel
keepers at the summer resorts of the
state , nnd although it is being submitted
to now , thcro will undoubtedly bo ways
found to evade it.
The temperance laws in these two
states having gone into cllcct. it will now
become nn Interesting matter to note their
operation. That the result will not bo
very dill'erent from those of similar ex
periments in oilier states , and therefore
not to the permanent advantage of the
temperance cause , Is an expectation fully
warranted by experience . No license
means frco license.
Tlio.l'orcinothers.
One of tlio most interesting events con
nected with the celebration of Independ
ence day was supplied by the Woman
Suffrage association of Cook county , Illi
nois , which observed the occasion by
doing honor to the memory of the women
of the revolutionary period. It is a mat
ter of regret that the Chicago papers in
recording this novel observance of the
day eoulu not have found space for some
of the excellent and eloquent words of
eulogy that wo are Informed by the re
porters were uttered on the occasion , for
the reason that the present generation
ought to bo mmlo bolter acquainted than
it is with the noble character of the bravo
and solf-saorlficing women who bore
their full share of the privations and
hardships of the long struggle for Amer
ican independence.
There is no danger to the fame of the
forefathers. Kvoiy schoolboy must learn
the record of their bravo deeds and their
great achievements ; their wisdom and pa
triotism is extolled in the halls of con
gress and from the rostrum where
tlio politician airs his eloquence )
their ever-living story is told In every
form of prose and verse , and finally their
trials and triumphs are the inexhaustible
theme of the Fourth of July orator. But
not so tlio courage , the constancy , and
the sullcringa and sacrifices of the
foremothers. Nowhere is the fidelity
and the glory of tlioir deeds adequately
recognized. Here and there partial his
tory saves from complete obscurity the
bravo deed of a noble woman which the
historian could not separate from the
events P chl'OnlcluS , antl : ju other forms
scant justice is done 16 the memories ot
heroic mothers and wives of the revolu
tionary period ; but the story of what they
did , so rich in example for their pos
terity , is accessible only to those who
specially seek it out.Vho can doubt
that a knowledge of the high and noble
character of thoforeinothorsof the repub
lic would exert as wholesome an inllu-
cncc in stimulating the devotion of
American women to their country as
does the history of the forefathers in
keeping alive and vigorous llio patriot
ism of the men.
In honoring the memory of the
foremothers of the republic the women
of the Cook County Woman's Sufirajro
association honored thomsolvcsaud their
mnrit is not tlio loss because they im
proved tlio opportunity to talk of tlio
rights which they have first at heart. It
is the duty of the women of America to
cherish and perpetuate the memory of
the great work performed by their sex in
the conllict that made the nation and in
that which preserved it , for unless they
do so it is very llkoly to fall into disre
gard. _
Home JVulo's HoverHc.
The HtlK'rt special cable tolls the story
of the results of the British elections in
a few words. Henry lubouohuro yields
all hope of a ministerial majority , and
Mr. Gladstone's organ , the Daily Jfcivs ,
admits tlio defeat of the appeal to the
country. There have been steady tory
gains , not because of any increase in the
conservative vote , but because thousands
of liberals have abstained from voting.
In the face of the heavy liberal defec
tion , the Irish vob : which was polled
solidly for Mr. Gladstone's candidate
failed to work the expected changes.
Hut there are cheering features in tlio
situation utter all. When all the rolurns
are in it will bo found that the enemies
of homo rule will have won a barren vic
tory. No party or party faction will
have a suflicient majority to change the
current which is running strongly and
must increase in its strength towards re.-
medial legislation. No government which
will bo formedopposed to Mr. Gladstone
has any chance of a long existence. An
Irish programme must bo formcd'and
it goes without saying that none
can bo prepared , which will command a
majority of the houso.
in otlior words , thu successful issue of
the homo rule agitation is delayed , not
destroyed. The Irish and radicals will
now combine against thu lories and mal
contents , Clmtworth and Birmingham
will link political fortunes against Scot
land , Ireland , and the masses of liberal
ism. It is a combination which cannot
win. The homo rule question Is made
the supreme issue by the Indecisive result
of thu ballot. Once more parliament
will bo called upon to propose a solution ,
and onoc more parliament will bn found
unequal to the task. Another dissolu
tion , followed by a second appeal to the
country , is a certainty of the near future ,
as much of a certainty as the final suc
cess of the great principle for which tlio
honest voters of Hritain have been
battling for a week past at the polls
against the union of prejudice , bigotry
and wealth ,
TJU : Hessian of the Herald , who bows !
hot and cold on every question and swings
around tlm circle of opinions like a
weathercock in a gale of wind , thinks
that "long-narcd jackasses" would bo a
more appropriate name for the members
of the board of trade who respectfully
protested against the removal of Fort
Omaha. This insult to tlio substantial
merchants of this city will bo vigorously
resented by nion who wore laying the
foundations of Omaha's prosperity years
before the Imported sub-editor of the
Jlerald precipitated himself upon this
community to teach its citizens how igno
rant they are of their own interests.
"Wr. have come to the conclusion that
Chicago will succeed in getting a jury to
try the anarchists about the time tlio

The KlKlt ) King.
Uopbrts of the various Fourth of July
speeches delivered throughout the state ,
show a gratifying change in style from
the cut and dried oration's ' with which our
people have been regaled , so often. There
was n marked tendency to discuss five
topics and to comment less upon the
Declaration of Independence of 1770
than to urge the necessity of some such
protest against political abuses in this
3oar of grace 18SO. Very many of the
orators declined to discourse at length
upon thcgloriesof our century of growth ,
while neglecting to point the moral of
the Increase of social and polit
ical evils as the result of more
than a hundred years of democ
racy. To several of the orations
as reported there was a ring ot fearless
discussion of subjects which particularly
interest the people of Nebraska as citi
zens of the state , irrespective of political
aniliallons.
Tlio "Glorious Fourth" is supposed to
bo consecrated to exuberant patriotism ,
Patriotism is love of country , watchful
anxiety for the interests of the state and
fearless activity in exposing dangers and
warding oil' attacks on the popular
liberties. It was therefore highly proper
in the orators of the day to improve the
occasion by discussing such subjects
as have a direct bearing on the
perpetuation and development of liberty
among the individuals which make tip
the nation.
The questions of railroad regulation
and tariff reduction naturally were
brought into prominence , and in a num
ber of eases ware handled without gloves ,
to tlio great satisfaction of the audiences ,
The people of Nebraska recognize them
as the two pressing and live issues of the
day. which cannot be suppressed and in
which the west is vitally interested.
Their proper solution will carry with it
tliu solution of the labor problem , which
is so vitally atleetod by high transporta
tion rates , industrial wrecking by stock
jobbers and exorbitant taxing of the
many for the bcnellt of the few. These
are subjects upon which thinking men
seek information , and in endeavoring to
afford it our Independence day orators
gave the right kind of ring to tiieir Fourth
of July speeches.

Snv ! Tl of OIU CflU'Clijed e.ontjimpontr-
ies .seem to bo worried about the condi
tion of the JiKK'ti circulation. They call
attention to our circulation ntlldavit ,
which a lows a drop of a couple of hun
dred during the past six weeks , and asks
the public to note the change , as an evi
dence of our declining prosperity. It is
not at all surprising . that our would-be
rivals consider a temporary decline of
sales , amounting to nearly 200 papers as
ruinous. This number is a quarter
of tlio entire circulation among
city subscribers of any , other Omaha
paper. To the UEE it , is a trilling affair ,
a mere bagatelle taken from li,000 ) papers
which are daily sold to its patrons , it
barely represents the number of our
Omaha subscribers who are coolinsr
themselves at the" lakes , enjoying the
ocean breezes or tramping through the
mountains , it is an annual incident of
tlio I IKE'S largo bus ! miss which occasions
no more comment than the effect of a
rainy day on advertising patronage.
But the 200 papers decline means a
loss of scarcely thirty-four subscribers.
Such a drop is too trilling for consider
ation.
It is perhaps well that the attention of
advertisers should be thus directed to the
honest cnro taken by the BEE to present
each day the actual figures of its circula
tion. ( Jain or loss is put down in black
and white , for their inspection. They
have a right to know what jroods they
are buying In return for their money.
There is no "about" or "nearly. " in the
BEE'S statements of circulation. Each
day its publishers make oath to the num
ber of copies sold and put into circula
tion among a public which pays for the
paper it reads
But what about our esteemed contem
poraries which hide their heads in tlio
ash barrel when called upon to show up
the value of the space they offer to ad
vertisers ? The BEE boldly challenges
denial of its assertion that no ono of them ,
circulates among subscribers in Omaha
1COO , copies u day. We go still further. Wo
assort , and we have the proofs which can
not bo assailed , that the circulation of
the BIE : is double tha.t of all Its Omaha
contemporaries combined. When the
thermometer drops from its present
height wo shall greatly improve this
record. Meantima we shall try to boar
cheerfully the temporary loss of thirty
odd papers with the assurance that
the figures will jump as many hundred
in the last three months of thu present
year. Call again.

A foolish exchance says : "Ahixiipin is a
woman's be > t fileinl. " Tills Is really absurd.
Does a hairpin ever come homo very late , sit
annual the bedroom and look foolish while
she blows It up to her heart's content ? Does
a hairpin over buy new bonnets , promise her
in July a new sealskin next January , and
next January stave It off with a promise of a
season at the seashore next July' . ' The man
who wrote the item either is employed by
some hairpin manufacturer or else ho Is a
cynical paulielor.

JIo knows just what to say and just when to
say U. And people will stand more scoring

else. Said a good Methoillst brother to me
the otlior day : "There Isn't another man in

From dead and senseless earth Almighty
Cod created man ;
But woman mailo lie from man's body by
illvluer plan.
And thus on earth began the wondrous mir
acle of sex ,
The human heart to till with joy , the empty
iieail to vex.
Man was the first in dim creation's dark and
ancient line :
But woman is the softer , sweeter , clearer ,
more ulvlne.
The Lord from Inorganic earth made man
for toll and strife ,
And molded then from living clay young
Adam's lovely wife.
