. anil confercuco nrc the
two most important words in the closing
ulays of congress.
Tucitc is n { { rowing suspicion Hint it
will be Imrd work to keep the f-onatorial
issue out of the pnmtinos and couveu-
itions.
Tun way to prevent defection in tno
party is to sec to it Hint the party ma
chinery registers the honest sentiment of
Hie majority.
Puxo pupils of the grunt Liszt , whoso
numbers luivo nvevusoil ubout a thou-
Hntul a year , should now become scarce.
The old composei is dead.
BOSTON fared recll in yetting rid of
champion Sulliyan , but is Still sorely
aillictcd by the presence of parson
Downs , whoso capacity for demoraliza
tion seems greater than that of the
shiver.
A PTEU hedging n few moro times on
the tariff question in order to get itaolf in
line with party sentiment the Omaha
organ of the rallroguo democracy can
squni'o Ii30lf oa thn monopoly issue. It
will bo a heavy job lo be sure but is
worth trying for.
THE ornamental uppondngo to the rail-
Toads , commonly kno < vn as the railroad
commission , haa not boon heard of for
sovornl months. The only regularity in
its operation scorns to bo the regularity
with which its clerks draw their salaries
from the state treasury.
1 CoNfJiinss has granted a pension to
I Mary Anderson. Hero is your chance
for a veto , Mr. Cleveland. If wo are cor
rectly informed , Mary raked in $200,000
of dncats during her last two years be
hind the footlights. A pension of $8 a
month in addition is clearly superfluous.
ONI : of the topics of discussion at the
bankers' convention will bo how to keep
cashiisrs from reaching Canada before the
detectives. Nothing short of annexation
will ( ill the bill as long as "timo looks"
and night trains prevent investigation
and discovery until it is everlastingly too
late.
Mil. HALSTUAU will now take the stand
and answer to a charge of subornation of
perjury. There are several people , in
cluding General Logan , who will listen
with great interest to what the flolil mar
shal of the Commercial Qazcttc shall say
on this subject. Mr , Halstead will please
proceed with his statement.
Irj. faros the colored citizen who casts
' Ills political fortunes with the democracy.
'That party will cheerfully accept his
vote , but it has no rewards to oll'or him.
Mntthowe , the colored lawyer of Albany ,
who wasn't confirmed for register of
deeds of the District of Columbia , will
doubtless concur without reservation in
this view ,
NA-rrni : is a great qmTll/ser. Hero
comes the town of Urooklngs , Dakota ,
which for years has boon advertising the
dearth of women in Dakota , with the an-
nounocmont that every birth in that com-
annuity for sovoraljvooks past has been a
girl. K the rest of the territory docs as
well Dakota will soon bo in a fair way to
supply the west with a crop of wives as
heavy as her annual crop of wheat.
LIVK stock shipments from the stock
, \ards are complicating matters in the
Iowa pool and clouds are gathering in
the aky which was recently cleared for a
long spell of harmony , The trouble , of
course , lies in the adrautage possessed
by the Uurllngton and Northwestern
lines In having through connections with
Chicago from the interior of the state ,
Which enables thorn to ship by way of
South Omaha to Chicago with privilege
of two markets at a through rats , At
the same time both roads insist that the
Rook Island and St. Paul shall maintain
full local tariff and the
natural consequence is that the latter
lines are falling behind in the
moo for trafllo. It looks as if there will
have to bo a readjustment somewhere or
tinothor lively war for buMnoss. In the
interval , if nil the railroads would mnko
SiToductlon in live stnck rates from the
yards cast a long felt want would bo met.
Tfco rate Irom South Omaha to Chicago
issaid to bo nearly 83 per cent higher
thhn that from the Kansas City yards ,
Tboro is no good reason why our stock *
men should not have tus low a rate as the
ooinpftinjj Missouri river point.
Shall American Citizens Bo Pro
tected 7
The warlike feeling in Texas , which Is
not simply an ebullition of popular
frenzy , but lias taken possession of the
authorities , ns shown by the dispatch of
Governor Ireland to Mr. Hajard , will of
course not bo permitted to develop into
overt acts of hostility against thf Mexi
cans. The federal government will not
allow the people ot Texas to proceed so
far as * o Fcnou ly endanger the peace of
the two countries. lint in order to avert
this , prompt action on the part of the
government Is demanded which will
assure the people of Texas and tlio coun
try that theio is a determination to exact
from Mexico just reparation for wrongs
already committed against American
citizens , and ample provision against a
repetition of similar abuses and out-
raires.
There is a principle involved In thh
matter of far-reaching application , nll'ect-
ing the question at largo of whether the
government is really disposed to protect
its citizens i whether , indeed , citizenship
carries with it that certain guarantee of
protection against injustice and per
secution in other Innds which it is pro
mised and assumed to do , It is a fact
confessed Hint the government has hith
erto been so lax and indifferent witn re
spect to this matter , in a number of ag
gravated instances , that popular faith in
the security atl'ordod by American citizen
ship has been very greatly weakened.
For a number of yearn the government
has manifested less solicitude in this matter -
tor than it did nt an earlier period of its
existence , when it was not so well able
ns now to enforce its demands. The
( ill'ect of this is that in somu countries , not
ably in some of the South American states ,
the claim of being an American citizen car
ries no weight whatever , and the official
representatives of the government are
ridiculed and insulted when they demand
jusuec for a citizen of the United States
who has fallen under the ban of the author
ities of these countries , whether national
or municipal. It 1s a humiliating truth
that in some countries the title American
is a reproach , and our citizens living or
sojourning there continually hear their
country reterrcd. to contemptuously and
invidious comparisons made with other
nations to our disadvantage. The
prevalence of this feeling is in a largos
measure duo to the "puerile policy
of the state department , which seems lo
have become completely encrusted with
the worst form of diplomatic fogyism.
The toleration of outrages upon Amer
ican citizens by the Mexican authorities
is the least excusable because of tlio
greater opportunities that exist for prac
ticing them and the readiness and ease
with which remedies can bo applied and
redress obtained , The American resi
dents along the Mexican frontier are in
constant peril from the irresponsible au
thorities of that country , who eagerly ac
cept any charge brought against an
American , and the knowledge of this
6E htto induce the government to insist
upon a system Cf criminal procedure that
will insure justice , while It Is in a posi
tion to immediately exercise the power
to enforce justice. The determination to
do this being once firmly shown would
doubtless be sufficient to stop further out
rages , at least for a long time , The gov
ernment is now offefcd n most favorable
opportunity to jiibtify the claim that lo
bo an Amdrlcnn citizen is a safeguard
against wrong and injustice in nil lands.
After Duo Kiifiilry. ]
Settlers and land claimants who have
been shaking in their boots for fear that
their entries would bo cancelled by Com
missioner Sparks without affording them
n hearing can rest easy. Secretary Lamar -
mar has ruled that in every instance
where fraud is alleged the entry shall bo
only held for cancellation and the claim
ant notified and allowed sixty days in
which to apply for a hearing before the
register and receiver. "If at the expira
tion of such time , " writes the secretary ,
"the claimant fails to apply for a hearing
to show cause , the entry should then bo
cancelled by the action of your oflicc.
But if , in response to snch notice , the
claimant oilers t * > show cause why the en
try should bo sustained , a hearing should
bo ordered at which the government
should ofter proof to sustain the allega
tion that the entry is Illegal or fraudulent
before the ontryman shall bo required to
present his defense , such hoa-ing is a pro
ceeding tic novo , at which the register and
receiver should not consider the ex parte
festimony contained in the agent's report ,
but in all such cases when the entry has
been regularly made and final cortilicato
issued the burden of proof is on the gov
ernment , and it will bo required to estab
lish the truth of the charge at the time of
the hearing by the examination of the
special agent , or such other witnesses as
may bo produced , so that the ontryman
may have the opportunity of cross-exami
nation usually allowed by law. "
These directions of Secretary Lamar
should promptly allay the pnln from
which the investigated ontrymen are suf
fering. They are to bo afforded every
opportunity for proving the good faith
of their entries and the sufllcionoy of the
final proof. But it is safe to say that
hundreds will never face the facts.
Kighteon hundred entries have already
been relinquished this year to the gov
ernment in a single land district in Ne
braska. Four-fifths of the ontrymon
cited to meet the charges of the special
agents have declined to put
in an appearance and contest
cancellation. Secictary Lamar'b order
takes away the loj > t refuge of the howlers
against the present administration of the
land offlco. The national domain will
continue to bo protected in spite of the
attacks made by the cattle kings and
land grabbing syndicates who mask the
real nature of the assault by assuming
the name of honest settlers and poor
homesteaders , Honest settlers who have
complied with the law have no grievance
against the land oflicc.
I'rimiotlnjj Iiulubtrics.
There have never been so many in
quiries for sites for industrial enterprises
in Omaha as there have been lately ,
Many letters requesting information
about the prospects for this or that fnc-
tory , null or s > hop are steadily coming in.
One day it is a paper mill , another an
iron works , on a third information la
asked about the chances for wheat mill ,
ing , while a score of minor enterpriser
seeking local promotion and assistance
tail the procession.
This is one of the most encouraging
features of our present remarkable de
velopment and its importance cannot be
lee Ktrongly urged upon our people , The
whirr of industry moans the
whirl of commercial activity. Every
new mill and factory located
Is another solid pier set In the foundation
of Omaha's prosperity.
As a general rule , it may bo said that
Omaha by the location offers the best of
inducements for manufacturing enter
prise.Vo have the city and we have the
trade territory back of it. Abundant
water and reasonably cheap fuel are here.
Land for sites can be secured nt low
figures for parties who moan business and
require this premium for changing their
locations.
Thcro is no reluctance on the part of
home capital to assist any enterprise ,
which will bear a business man's investi
gation. Stock in plants which promises
paying returns will not go begging in
Oinahn.
This much is said In reply to several
complaints that Omaha shows no inclin
ation to invest In such enterprises. This
complaint comes principally from men
whose enterprises have been of a char
acter that no business man would care to
risk his money in promoting simply to
pay salaries to their olllcors.
Trot out your first-class industrial
horses and there will bo plenty of Omaha
funds ready to back them.
The Hankers' Convention.
The annual convention of the Ameri
can Bankers' Association will be held in
Boston on the llth and 12th of this
month , The day bcforo the assembling
of the convention the executive council
will meet to arrange the order of
business and complete the programme
to bo observed by the convention. Every
banking linn , state bank , national bank ,
trtibt company , and .savings bank in the
United States is expected to send one del
egate. A very largo proportion of the
8.UOO banks of the country will not ,
however , bo represented by their own
delegates , and the views and wishes of
Mich institutions will bo presented to
the convention by the vice presidents of
that body apportioned ono to caah
state.
The conventions of the association arc
important as contributing trustworthy
information regarding the opinions , desires -
sires and demands of the moneyed
corporations which control the financial
affairs of the people , and to some extent
also those of tlie gavcrumeut. It is a
tremendous power that is 1'cpresentod ' in
this association a power respecting
which there has been u great deal
ot popular distrust , and which should
never be permitted to pass out of the so
licitous attention of the people , Confi
dence in the soundness of the principle
upon which the national bankingjjystcm
is founded docs not require that there
shall be an abandonment of vigilance on
the part of the people , for no principle is
so excellent that it may not bo abused.
It cannot bo fairly questioned that much
of what is best and most conservative in
the banking system at thistimu is largely
duo to the popular distrust of the system
in the past , which would only be placated
by concessions thai iiuf-CSmLrestrictlons
upon this vast power. While ft ma/u"ol
be necessary to maintain this feeling , it
is clearly expedient to give constant at
tention to the course and the policy of
this power , held together by a common
interest , and with which the opportuni
ties for evil ns well as for good are so
many and widespread.
The forthcoming convention will have
as leading topics of consideration bank
ing reform , the silver problem
in its new international as
pects , and the defects of our
extradition treaties with respect to
crimes regarding which the banking in
terests arc. especially concerned. The
question of the extension of the national
banking system in the southern states ,
where for Various reasons it has made
less progress than in other sections of
the country , will be ono of the chief mat
ters of consideration. In connection
with this the needs of the south for capi
tal for diversified industries and for well-
directed emigration will bo discussed ,
and the rapid development in some
states of manufacturing enterprises will
be considered. The silver problem has
assumed still greater interest since the
last convention , when an effort was made
to place the controversy on new grounds
and to discuss it from its fiscal side , and
it will doubtless again command n largo
shargo of the attention of the convention.
There Is ample opportunity and scope
for a fresh review of this perplexing
problem , of which the promise of u satis
factory solution appears no moro favor
able now than at any period of the past.
A few days ago Mr. Evarts
introduced in the senate a resolu
tion looking to an effort to secure
an international conference upon this
subject , but the results of MMnnton
Marble's inquiries among European fin
anciers last year and other circumstances
do not encourage n hope that any effort
to bring about another international con
sideration of the silver problem will bo
successful , or that if such consideration
was had it would result in a satisfactory
solution. Still , the matter is ono which
the bankers of the country cannot choose
but give attention to , hownyor little their
views may contribute to its settlement.
SIeve Slowly ,
The city council should move very
slowly in granting any moro rights of
way to railroad companies through the
streets of Omaha. They should bo espec
ially slow in giving the right to lay track
on paved streets , Nothing but ur
gent necessity ought to excuse such a
concession.
The Union Pacific has applied for right
of way through Jones street between
Ninth and Tenth. This street has just
been paved at a heavy expense to prop-
crty owners. Tno costly improvement
made will bo practically destroyed if
trackage is permitted , while damage will
bo done to adjoining property and to the
entire street. The best of reasons for
askingsuch a concession ought to bo of
fered and their weight caretully balanced
as against tno public Interests bcforo the
rpqucst is granted ,
\Ve must draw the line somowhera in
these grants to railroad companies. Of
course when property is so high us it is
in Onmhn right of way through n street
is far cheaper to the companies than
through private property , and It Is gen
erally easier to got. But public streets
are no place for switching grounds for
the railroads. Thcro is plenty of room ,
on the bottoms , and the roads should bo
made to take it up
The city council has no right to alienate
anj' of the city property from city use , or
to grnf\ right of way in public thoroughfares -
fares unkX it is clearly in the interests
of the public to do so. A bwitch to a
warehouse , or raill.orstore , located of
the track , is a convenience It is true , but
the general public 'can1 get along very
well without it , esp'eVln.jly if such con
venience tn the company nmans general

It Concern ! ) 1'lirlr I''ninc.
Amid the plaintive appeals of penuri
ous Now \ orkcrs to congress for assist
ance in building the ( Jrant monument , it
Is gratifying to note tlio manly tone
which the Coinmcrriai Attetrliscr of that
city maintains in its comments on the
duty of Manhattan to mind its own busi
ness and erect its own tombstones. That
paper hns been reading the Uothnmitcs
several severe lessons about monument
building , and has laid open with a sur
geon's scalpel the miserable stinginess
of the great metropolis , "After all , "
writes its editor , "it is not the fame of
General Grant that is concerned , but that
of Now York. Ills name is more endur
ing than bronze. It is for us to take care
of our own. "
Those are words which the Grant mon
ument committee ought to wrtto on tab
lets of brass and hang up in their moot
ing room. They should decorate the sub
scription papers and letter heads and
adorn the boxes in which the poor are
asked to drop their pennies. I'crhaps n
general study of the sentiment might
oven awaken ionic feeling of local pride
in the breasts ot the millionaires who
wear down the i > avcnn > nts of Wall street
and Fifth avenue with their coupes and
landaus.
When the Burtholdi statue was on Us
way to our shores , the free gift of a
friendly nation , the people of the whole
country , roused to the indecent niggard
liness of Now York in failing to provide
t a pedestal promptly , put their hands in
their pockets and rolled in subscriptions
sufficient to give it a fitting resting place.
A western editor who had galvanized
into life a dead New Tork journal ledtlio

EvEitvosn is clamoring for un increase
of the police force , but practical sugges
tions as to where the funds to increase
tliu number of patrolmen arc to conip
from , are as scarce as hen's ' teeth. Ifowfs
for moro patrolmen to protect capital
come with very poor grace from capital
ists , whose outrageous tat shirking is
chiefly responsible for the ridiculously
low valuation on which Omaha bases her
levy. There is no denying the fact that
if our police force were doubled , it would
still bo too small to covertho , largo area
of ground which comprises the city of
Omaha. But until wo get n fair assess
ment of property , it can never be materi
ally increased over its''present numbers.
This is ono of the important results of
our present system aijd methods of prop
erty assessment. , j

CMcaga Tribune.
The prolonged dry weather in Iowa
causes considerable complaint amen ,
the farmers and appears to bo nflecling
the public health seriously. The mortal ) i
reports for that sttito are no higher thai
ordinary.and neither the boards of hcultl
nor the local physicians make mentloi
of any unusual sickness ; but still the
ofllclal record of liquor sales by druggists
shows a veritable epidemic of maladies
requiring alcoholic treatment. KM
instance , in a place of O.OOO . In
hnbita"ts a druggist doing an
ordinary business reports eight }
four liquor uriiserlptions filled in onoday ,
and in a county which contains no Inrgt
town , nearly 5,000 pints of liquors wore
required during lite month ot June for
the "actual necessities of medicine.1
The cxtaordinary need for alcoholic
medication in Iowa may bo owing to the
prolonged drought or to the prohibitory
law , or perhaps to the combined
lulluenco of both these potent causes.
The condition of the public health in
Iowa discloses several singular facts
The spread of diseases requiring alcoholic
stimulation is { 'ctuiral in the sinnllci
towns where tlie buloons have been
rlosod , but in the larger place * where the
untaxcd groggeries are still open the de
iL'and ' for- liquor prescriptions is little
greater than ordinary. The inerraseil
need of liquor for "the actual necessities
ot medicine , " sprung up immediately
after the adoption of the prohibitory law ,
and while the method of treatment
then adopted scums highly popular
its success cannot bo icgarded as
established. Few permanent cures
are cHeelcd nnd the patients
appear to linger from year lo year in
about the same condition. Beer is the
favorite medicine , and it is administered
not only for dyspepsia and general Ian-
U9r. but for rheumatism , dimness of
vision , RJUi still' joints. This method of
treatment caR hardly be esteemed scjcntl-
lie , but then in iwTi" every man is his
own doctor , and under a liberal ruling
of the supreme court can make his O'.vn
diagnosis and prescribe for himself. Even
under the radical prohibitory legislation
of that state every citlxon retains unim
paired the sacred right of dosing himself ,
and the liquor reports show the enthus
iasm with which the privilege is cxcr-
cisi-d.
The Charges AK.iiiiRt Kllcy.
_ The police committee of the city coun
cil were engaged yesterday afternoon in
investigating the charges made against

dence produced was to the cllect that
Muurcr was sitting or. a cioor-stci ) on
Cuniing street asleep when Ofiiccr Kiley
woke him up and asked him what he was
doing there. Mauror replied that it was
none of the policeman's blanked busi
ness and finally became abusive nnd was
locked up by Kiloy. The charges of
rough Ustulgo nnd malicldus prosecution
preferred by Mauror were not sustained ,
nnd the committee will report the cnso to
the council In Itiley'sjiivor.
