IT Is not such n cold day for Ireland tlmt

bloody Ulster.
RGiNRiui ! , VAN WYCK hus thrown down
tlin glove. Who will pick it up tor tv
square and open tilt ?
Ciiuitcn is now saying "how" vnry
Ircoly through the First district. The
answer should bo "anything but IIowo. "
JlY the time the Now York grand jury
gets through indicting city ollicinls the
local democracy will be as short of polit
ical heroes us they profess to be short of
funds.
THE lory "member of parliament , "
whose cable letter appears in every SUN
DAY UBE , thinks Gladstone has destroyed
the liberal party. The lirst vote upon co
ercion for England is likely to relieve his
anxiety on Unit point.
Mil. BAYAIEU would make a master
stroke of diplomacy in demanding the
resiirnations of Minister Jackson and
Consul lirlglmm in Mexico. Ordinary
reporters would have gathered the tacts
of the Cutting case more accurately.
AN inveterate bribe-taker , an incarnate
trickster , u man whoso word no politi
cian would take even with n uoncl at
tached , is not the candidate whom the
republicans of the First district can afford
to nominate for the scat in congress now
occupied by Judge Weaver.
JOHN CUDMOKB , 24 years old and un
married , was choked to death on Sunday
by n pleeo of meat lodging in his throat
while eating his breakfast at a hotel in
Hancock , N. Y. The legislature should
pass a law compelling New York hotel
keepers to chop their hash.
B [ Si.VATOit : Van Wyck's ' cordial welcome
from his constituents wherever ho goes is
gall and wormwood to the monopoly
press. It shows the small amount of in-
lluonco which thcso hireling editors of
monopoly sheet ? oxorclso among the
voters of all parties In Nebraska.
VOTKIW of the First district who will bo
kept fully posted about the record ol
Church Howe between now and conven
tion time will scarcely dare to stultify
their party traditions and their own man
hood by supporting the unscrupulous
trickster and political mountebank for
congressional honors.
IT isn't ] every candidate for public
olTicu who can confidently appeal to the
citizens of an entire state for endorse
ment on n record open alike to the in
spection of friend and foe , Senator Van
Wyck'a appeal , published in this issuo.
will do much to strengthen among hon-
cat voters his already strong candidacy
( or the senator-ship.
Tin : department of agriculture at
'Washington has furnished its crop re
port for August and the "bulls" are jubi
lant over the depressing figures. The
prospects for rye , barley , oats and buck
wheat show little change , but the avor-
ngo of wheat , corn and cotton is lower
than It was at lliu close of Juno , The av-
/.erago condition of spring wheat is re
duced from 83.3 to SO.l , as against 6(1 ( at the
time of harvest last year. A part of the
loss of yield last season occurred after
August 1 ; but no further depreciation is
probable tills year , as the harvest is two
weeks earlier and is already nearly over ,
The present promise Is for a crop yield
of spring wheat approximating 135,000,000
Imshcls. which with the 1100,000,000 bushels -
ols of winter wheat already harvested
would give us a total crop -1115,000,000 ,
bushels , as against ar 7,000.003 , bushels in
1885. A .serious decline in the condition
of. corn ia noted in Illinois , Wisconsin
.uiul the states west of the Mississippi , and
' tin' general average of condition is re
duced to 81 , as compared with 03 a mouth
Nebraska is doing much better than
hoi : neighbors. The crop reports col-
steadily by the Ui'.i : show that
grain ia a good average nnd that
with n continuance of thu present style of
vraathcr corn will make a very rcspecta-
111 a showing. With high markets this
lull , Nobraskn farmers will comu out top
et the heap.
Bcnntor Vnn AVjrok'u Appeal.
Senator Van Wyck makes an earnest
and temperate appeal to the voters of
Nebraska to voice their prcfcrcnco for
United States senator through the billet
box. It is now more than ten years
since the people of Nebraska engrafted
upon tlwlr constitution the following pro-
visio : "The legislature may provide
lint nt the general election immediately
t > rcco ling the expiration of a term of n
United Slates senator from this state , the
electors iv.ay by ballot oxpros ? their
preference for some person for the olllco
of Unlti'il Status sonator. The vote cait
for such candidates shall bo canva cd
and returned in the same manner as for
state ollleers. "
In order to give effect to this
provision of llin constitution , a general
flection law was passed by the legislature
of 1879 , which makes tliu canvas * of re
turns for the United States senator man
datory upon judges mid clerks of tiluc-
tlon. The language of the statute Is as
follows :
"Sec. D. At the general election imme
diately preceding the expiration of tliu
term of a United Slates senator from
this state , the electors shall by ballot ex
press their preference for some person
for United States senator , the votes to
bo canvaosed and returned in the man
ner herohmf tcsr provided. "
This law has been a dead letter , us Sena
tor Van Wyck says. In the first place be
cause no candidate for-the semites has
dared to submit li is claims to the
popular ordonl , and In the next
place because our governors in
their election proclamations have
ignored the plain mamtatn of the co nsti-
tutioti. The neglect of the exo ctitivo to
include tills subject among the matters
to bo voted upon is not essential , how-
over. Had thu people voted for any sen
atorial candidates in ISSOorlSS' . ' the of
ficers of election would have hud no right
to ignore them.
The appeal which Senator Van Wyck
makes brings up the. senatorial 'issue
squarely. It is in the nature of n chal
lenge for other candidates to come
forward , present their claims to
the people and take a positives
stand upon the vital issues of
the day. Every candidate for the posi
tion of United Stales senator is
expected to be not only of more
than average ability and experi
ence in making laws , but he should
bo willing to meet his competitors in the
arena of popular discussion. The object
of the constitutional provision giving
the. pcoplo a voice in the selection of
senators was to do away with dark horses
and still hums. Lightning-rod candi
dates and fence riders , who fear to com
mit themselves on any important issue
which it takes backbone to meet , are not
the men whom Nebraska should elect to
the senatorial dignity anil responsibility.
While the legislature will elect the sena
tor , their functions will be very much like
the presidential electors who simply
nllirm the decree of the pcoplo. It is
well that the first experiment of popular
choice of United Stales senator is to bo
made in Nebraska through the appeal of
Senator Van Wyck. Public debates be
tween competitors for tlio senate have
taken place In various states , notably in
Illinois when Douglas and Lincoln
stumped together in 1853. Uut , no state
has yet ventured to test the popular
desire by a direct vote.
Olvo Tltani a Chance.
The XorthwesUirn road has decided to
grant tliu pcoplo of the Klkhoru valley
decent facilities for dealing with the
Omaha stock yards. Now let the North
western pivo equal facilities to its pa
trons for dealing with Omaha merchants.
When it does that Omaha wholesalers
will see to it that they hold their trade.
There is no good reason why this oily
should not control its nearest trade terri
tory. Ono of the loveliest , most enter
prising and thickly ECU led portions
of the statp lies at Its very
doors. Its merchants ask only
that Omaha. shall olTor them
inducements equal to those oflerud else
where. They nro willing and anxious to
throw tliclr Nebraska trade into Ne
braska hands. On the other hand Oma
ha's jobbers have the stock and can
make the prices laid down on board the
cars which will command patronage pro
viding they are given a half a chance by
llio transportation companies. What
they could do under such circumstances
is shown by what limy have dona against
the obstacles thrown iu their way.
It is an outrage on common commer
cial decency that the only railroad com
pany which taps this section throughout
its whole length has for years steadily dis
criminated against this city , and acted as
a drummer for the Chicago market. Tlio
diversion of the bulk of tlin trade of the
Elkliorn"Valley to the lakes is due entire
ly to the rates which make it impossible
for them to transact business with our
people nnd the delays in the transporta
tion of goods.
Wo were promised last tall that both
grievances should bo remedied , the first
by a revision of the tarill' schedule , and
the other by a direct line from Omaha ,
tupping the Elkliorn Valley road between
Blair and Fremont. Promises have ,
proved cheap. It Is high time that per
formance of some kind tihouM taUo their
place. Omalm merchants am bcgining
at last to admit that Northwestern or
Northeastern Omaha must have a direct
line to Klkhorn Valley.
WiHCloin Should
There was u world of meat In honest
Michael Davitt's consnrvatlvo and soiul-
hie speech before the National league
convention at Chicago on Saturday. A
few of the calm nud wisdom-tilled sen
tences of thu Irish patriot's rnmurks
must have been refreshing to the men
who declined to join in tha wild hu/.zas
with which the fiery Finnerty's appeal to
arms was greeted. Michael Uavitt has
done much and suffered much for Ire
land. Ho has eaten n felon's faro and
worn a folon'a suit for his country. No
Irish patriot is by training and observa
tion better fitted to point out what almuM
be the coursu to be taken by irm. | . ! . ,
friends in thu present crisis "f i. io
laid aside revenge , " says tlin tOoj-.u-nt
spokesman for the jarliainiinlary party.
Ireland's ' friends must cuusu their bicker *
ings and their throats of blood.slu.-d and
warfare and join to uphold the men who
are slowly but surely by peaceful , but
powerful , agitation winning tor her thu
battle of self government.
Ihoro U no question that Michael
Uavitt points obt the only road to success
in the homo ruin movement. Fighting at
long nvngo will not win the .day. De
nunciation and dynamite , instead of for
warding the movement , will Inevitably
retard , if they do not destroy , Us end.
Homo rtilo for Ireland is now a constitu
tional question , to be gained by constitu
tional means in the Hrit si ! court of high
resort. The bravo and conservative Irish
leaders have secured nearly a million
English votes endorsing their demand.
This magnificent support can easily be
dissipated by a few hours of foolish
bravado , the work of hot-headed enthu
siasts. Wisdom should win the dav.
Homo Ownership.
Capital is proverbially conservative.
The man with dollars saved by hard
work is the cltl/en who examines most
closely the probable bearings of every
social movement on his possessions.
Other things being equal the cities of fho
most widely diflused home ownership are
thu communities of greatest seocial Ma-
bility. Tim workingman who owns his
homo is a poor subject for llio appeals of
tlic demagogue or the fire brand argu
ments of the agitator. Dr. Northrop In
a recent article In the Aye qf Steel calls
attention to L'hiladelphiu as the greatest
workshop in America which furnishes a
striking illustration in point. Here
the M'orkingman owns his home.
The tenement homo is unknown.
"In thu riots of 18T7 tlio 20,000 , members
of building associations acted as an elll-
clout counterpoise to the lawless throne's
that crowded the streets. The instinct of
self-pteservation , of social order , wns as
strong with them as with llio wealthier
classes , and was uvcu more ell'eclual. It
neutralized , in their own camp , tlio clam
ors of a vicious and riotous rubble , so
that the presence of the mayor and the
police was snllicicnt to quell all disorder
without collision. These associations
have been a potent factor in making our
people prosperous and moral , encourag
ing sobriety , and preventingclissipation. "
The Philadelphia worklnginnn is as con
servative as the capitalist. Philadelphia
now has double the number of dwelling
houses of any oilier city of its size in the
world. This marvelous Increase in its
homesteads is duo to its co-operative
building associations , numbering over
four hundred. They have been tried for
nearly fifty years , nud have proved
such valuable forces in promot
ing industry , economy , sobriety ,
thrift and prosperity that the
State encourages them by exempting all
their stock and mortgages from taxation.
Though the holdings of.these associa
tions exceed § 50,000,000 , they are man
aged by workingmcn at little expense ,
and are always open to public scrutiny.
Failures have been very rare , leds than
in any oilier class of financial associa
tions. The worst of those closed during
the panics of 1873 paid ninety-three cents
on the dollar.
Omaha is rapidly furnishing another
illustration of the influence of home
owning. The peneottil quiet of the city
during tlio late labor troubles was
largely due to the heavy interests which
tlio workingmen have in the preservation
of social order in tlic city. Hero , too ,
building associations have been powerful
instruments in securing homes for the
poorer classes , and their work is steadily
increasing. No city of its size outside of
Philadelphia has a larger number-'of
homes owned by their occupants than
Omaha.
ALL is quiet along the Uio Grande. Not
n t-ound is beard except thu fairy foot-
tails of the gentle Gcrontnio as he leads
Miles' forces a wild goose chase into tlio
mountains of Sonoru.
SOME weeks ago Church Howe cx-
pressscd the desire that the HUE would
"ilcop its hands off him. " Church prob
ably knows more about the DEE now than
ho did then , but he isn't as good looking.
CANDIDATES are the work of conven
tions and conventions are the work of the
popular vote. Voters who desire to place
in nomination nion who will do honor to
their constituents are responsible for the
results of the primaries. The primary
election is the most important of all , be
cause it is nearer to the people.

To the Klqctcw-s of N
Iu a country goyjrhtd by llio pcoplo
forllio people , the-fligbest prerogative of
the elector is the free and untrammelled
choice of the public servants who admin-
islor llio government. While llio national
sftnato roiirc.scnls tlio soVorolgnily ot the
states each senator should bo the true
reprosent-HIvo of Hid sbroroign people of
Ihecommoiiwenllh. Tin's was the aim
nud object of thu frajuprs of our stale
constitution when thry' ' made provision
for HID e.Npression of the popular choice
in llio selection a senator. For ton years
this provision of our constitution has been
a dead letter. Although u law Irauied
iu conformity with iho coiislilulioml
proviso was passed by the legislature
years ago , and officers of election are re
quired to make returns of the vole upon
lliu electors' preference for UniUul States
senator , no aspirant has , as yet , ventured
to ask the pcoplo for a direct expression
of confidence or preference. Without
presumption on my part that nny man
has a vcMcd right to public omco , how
ever meritorious or faithful ho may be ,
I desire ( o appeal to the people of Ne
braska for a direct vote expressing their
preference for United Stales .senator.
There are doubtless others in this
slate more worthy than I
am of your conlidonco , and it
will ailbrd mo croat pleasure lo niccl
any of lliciu for a public discussion of
the living ami vital issue ? of tlioday. The
ollico of Uuilcd Slates senator is n posi-
lion of great responsibility , and the people
ple should know llio views of every man
who desires to represent Nebraska in the
upper house of congress , I trust that it is
not inappropriate in this connection to
refer briefly to my services in behalf of
the state during my term now drawing lo
a close. Hy that record lot judgment bo
given. 1 have doubtless erred in
sonic instances , as all men do , but
even my worst enemies cannot point
to any act that would impeach my per
sonal integrity or rolled discredit upon
the state which has honored mo. While
I claim to have done only my duty iu the
light in which I was able to see it and
claim no credit for the faithful discharge
of the trust committed to me , I only de
sire to exercise tlio right which I have
In common with all citizens to challenge
