and hardships which many must
aufl'ur. Time may intensify those , and
nsBthoy grow harder and moro tin-
bearable the spirit of hostility and re-
Yongo will grow with them. Only the
strong arm of power can bo depended
upon to prevent a recurrence of the
.1. events which have devastated Belfast.
MH , CLEVELAND isn't reading news
papers at present. He Is engaged in the
much more enjoyable business of catch
ing trout and entertaining his mother-in-
law. Hut if ho were keeping himself
posted on current opinion ho would lind
something of surpassing interest in the
Now York World of last Monday. That
journal having boon charged by a G l-
vcston paper v/ith a desire to throw
Clovelaxid overboard and push Hill to
llio i'ront as a presidential candidate ,
the M'orM replies bluntly that "if a state
convention had to elect delegates to-day
it would unanimously endorse Mr , Cleve
land's administration but elect Hill dele
gates , " It asserts that the friends ol
Governor Hill control the party organisa
tion In New York completely , and or-
presses the bolinf that 1m can make him
self invincible in the next state conven
tion. There can bo no doubt that the
World describes the present situation
correctly. Will Col .color Magono bo
( iblu to turn the tide ? It is
Democratic Mnilc.
There was a great deal of democratic
music In the air of several states on
Wednesday , nnd it goes without saying
that it was not all harmony. The democ
racy of Pennsylvania , Ohio , Michigan ami
Missouri held conventions , and the de
clarations of these several bodies are of
interest both for what they snyaiMlfor
what they omit to say. Granting that
platform1 ; arc mere promises mitdo to bo
kept or broken , M circumstances shall
render expedient , and are no longer ro-
gnrdcd as trustworthy guide * to party
action , still there is no bnttnr means of
dotormitiuiK tlin extent of harmony in the
principles and policy ot a party than by
these utterances of the wings or
branches that make up thn organization.
The dilVcrenros of sentiment in the
democratic party on the tariff , which
divided its representatives iu the lower
house of congress into bitterly hostile
factions , and thn compromising coward
ice with which it uniformly approaches
this question , are shown in the expressions
of Wednesday's conventions. Not one of
them touched this subject in a straight
forward way nnd without reservation.
The Pennsylvania democrats "favor a
jtut and fair revision of the revcnuo
laws , " which must bo accomplished ,
however , with great care in observing
"a .spirit of luirncss to all interests , "
"without depriving American labor of
the ability to successfully compete with
foreign labor , " and "without imposing
lower rates of duty than will DO ample
for any increased cost of production
which may exist in consequence of the
higher rates of wages prevailing in this
community. " Mr. Handall nnd the
democrats who are with him ought to bo
entirely satisfied with this. The most
radical protectionist could not reasona
bly desire more , The conditions are
just those which the protectionists have
always urged , nnd which have proved n
sure obstacle to a revision of the tariff iu
the interest of the whole people. Hut
this is moro pointed and explicit than
the declaration of the Ohio democrats ,
who are content with demanding "a
thorough nnd just revision of the ex
isting tariff laws , " while these of Michi
gan ro-afllrm the worn nnd worthless
platitude "that taxation for other
purposes than revenue is robbery. " Is
there in all this n single assurance war
ranting faith that the democratic party
will lessen the burden of taxation that
rests upon the peoploj
On the no leas important silver ques
tion tlio democrats of Pennsylvania wore
ominously silent , while the Ohio demo
crats denounced as a "monstrous injus
tice" the attempt to discriminate against
silver in favor of gold , and these of Mich
igan pronounced in favor of the free coinage -
ago of silver. On this question the west
ern democrats are distinctly divided from
those of the east , as they nro also regard
ing the application of the treasury sur
plus to the payment of the public debt ,
which was endorsed by the conventions
of Ohio and Michigan , and ignored by
that of Pennsylvania. Civil service re
form receives no attention cither in the
Ohio or Michigan platform , but gets an
indirect endorsement in the Pennsylva
nia document from which thu supporters
of that policy can derive very little com
fort. In the Missouri convention the
most notable circumstance was tiio speech
of Senator Vest , who denounced Ran
dall , declared in favor of filling all the
oflicos with democrats , and thanked God
that he in a bourbon.
All of which goes to prove that the
democratic party IF the same old politi
cal charlatan that it has always been , and
is running in the same old ruts.
A False 1'roplict.
Mr. Charles A. Dana , editor of the
Sun , who is a strong opponent of the ad
ministration , predicts that Mr. Cleve
land's chances for a ronominatiou iu 1888
will bo oven slimmer than they nro in
18SO. Mr. Dana inserts the editorial
knife in the presidential ribs by assert
ing "that Mr. Cleveland lias entirely ful
filled the expectations that were formed
of him by the republicans and the no-
party men , and especially by the mug
wumps ; ho has also fulfilled the oxppc.tii-
tions of the democratic rcvoltcrs , and has
thus justified their revolt. Ho has donu
wisely in getting married , and in spite of
the pun-electric absurdity and jobbery ho
has been on the whole a well-meaning
president. At the same time ho has car
ried out his own ideas without regard
either tojho democratic party or the dem
ocratic platform on which ho was nomi
nated , and has made himself independent
and a kind of autocrat in the presidency.
Thus , whatever his admirers may say of
the general honesty and dignity of his
administration , it has not been designed
to satisfy thu democracy , and it has not
satisfied them. Accordingly , they cannot
bo expected , unless great changes should
take place within the next year , to ro-
nominate Mr. Cleveland in 1888. The
idea that they may be compelled to re-
nominate him by the pressure of outside
hcntimont will not wash. "
Thin is caustic , but is not borne out by
political conditions. It may bo sot
down as a certainty that the democracy
will rcnominato as tlinir candidate ,
two years hence , the man who will pre
sumably poll the biggest aggregate vote
aud who will run the strongest ohancu of
carrying Now York state. Unless all
signs fail , Mr. Cleveland will come nearer
to filling the bill than any other presi
dential timber in the demouratio lumber
yard. Ills financial views have benn
carefully adapted to the interests of Wall
street. Ills civil service reform preten
sions have boon bonny to the men milli
ners of thn mugwump school , Tilden ,
Hancock and MoClellan are out of the
field forever. John Kelly , his bUlorest
opponent , and Hubert O Thompson , of
the county democracy , are dead , Within
n year's time death has swept the Hold of
competition and loft Mr. Cleveland
practically alone in the raco.
Mr. Cleveland was the Moses who led
the bourbons out of the land of Kgypt
into the scats of their forefathers. Unlike
Moses hn got there himself at the same
time. There la little danger that ho will
bo repudiated If ho wishes to strive again
for tlu > captaincy o ( the democratic hosts.
There are not euough successful soldiers
in his party to make the contest an inter
esting one. Another time , however , Mr ,
Cleveland U not likely to have as vulner
able an opponent. The signs of the time
poiut to either John A. Logan or
John h'horman ns the candidate with
whom ho will bo asked to cross swords ,
Kithor would prove a more formidable
opponent than Mr. Ulatno under present
conditions. Mr. Dana is wrong. Ho
long ngo Jest caste a. " u political prophet.

lilts It on the Head.
A local correspondent of the HKK , who
adds the qualification of being a heavy
shipper to that of being a man of brains ,
writes that the only solution ot the rail
road problem in Omaha's interests is the
construction of lines from this city to the
northwest and southwest , owned by
Omaha capitalists and operated in the
interests of Omaha shippers. Hn de
nounces as absurd the proposal to boy
cott lines which discriminate ngianst this
cily , because sucha move would shut our
merchants out from the only trade fa
cilities which they enjoy. There is a
sound basis of truth in our corre
spondent's argument. The plan pro
posed would bo the best If it
wore at once practicable. Omaha capi
talists , like all other investors , liavo an
eye single to the mntn chance. If they
built railroads , they would do so to mike
money from the investment. The chances
arc that such roads would not remain
long in the hands of the original owners.
The Omaha & Southwestern was built to
afford the city an entry into the south
west. Within a few years its construc
tors found it moro profitable to sell than
to hold , and passed it into the hands of
the Hnrllngton & Missouri. The Omaha
t Northwestern was constructed to af
ford an outlet to Northern Nebraska.
Several years ago it was secured by the
Northwestern and has since been used to
beat out the brains of Omaha trade. If
the 15. & M. and Northwestern systems
could bo paralleled with assurance of
good profits on the investment the move
would doubtless bo one which would so-
euro for this city its share of a trade
which it is quite able to hold.
The construction of a line from Omaha
up the Klkhorn valley is , however , feasi
ble and would pay well. At present wo
are completely cut off from that section.
The policy of the Northwestern road
is one of steady discrimination against
this city. Freight Agent Morchou.se is
its spokesman , and ho loaves no stone
unturned to divert tralllc from Omaha to
points on the main line farther east. Wo
know whereof we assert when we dcclnro
that freight has been laid down as
cheaply from Chicago to points on the
KlKhorn Valley line as they have from
Oisaha. , Tj-,5 tylW Of I'pbales "and
drawbacks lias covered the operation
of this system of destroying trade with
our city , b ut it has gone on steadily un
der cover of n fair tariff sheet. Hates
tire against our merchants , and with rates
against them eastern drummers hold the
field , A direct line up tlic Klkhorn val
ley from Omaha would take nearly oyery
pound of freight from local shippers who
are justly indignant witli the attempts
which tlic Northwestern has made to
shut them out of their trade territory , It
could bo built much more cheaply to im
portant points than a line which would
parallel the Hurlington nnd which if
built woula bo equally welcomed by our
merchants.
The suggestion of our correspondent
that final relief can only come from roads
controlled in Omaha's interests , hits the
nail on the head.
The Usual Complaint.
The mid lie of August always marks
the height of building activity in Omaha.
This irf accounted for by the difficulty ex
perienced every spring in obtaining
brick. The brick-yards fail every year to
carry over from llio fall before enough
brick to till the contracts which begin to
accumulate in the spring. As a consequence
quence building is dolaydd except wliero
provision has beun made for brickmonths
in advance of construction.
Just at present the most important
buildings in Omaha have only commenced
to get under full headway , viz : the new
Paxton building and the two bank build
ings , which will bo the largest on Farnam
street. A score of other structures have
bei-n greatly delayed by lack of bricK
and dragged along during the early sum
mer waiting for the yards to catch up with
their orders.
It is to be hoped that our brick makers
will learn from experience that manufac
turing for present requirements only
is a penny wise and pound foolish
policy. If the yards nro running up to
their capacity during the building sea
son , they should bo enlarged sufficiently
to lay up ti surplus for the spring do-
maud. In case tlic brick makers cannot
see their interests in this light , they
should be given a dose of competition
which will make them understand that
village brickyards cannot control and
dominate n city of 80,003 people. What
Omaha needs , and needs badly , is an es
tablishment for making brick which will
start in with capital enough and plant
enough to accommodate the public , and
break the monopoly.'which controls the
briok business in this city. Such an in
stitution would meet with n generous
support. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Mic. POWDKICLV is outspoken in his
denunciation of the anarchist element ,
and has declared that ho will not tolerate
their presence in the organization of
which ho is the head , The forthcoming
convention of the Knights of Labor
promises to bo important , and perhaps
nothing it will do will bo of greater sig
nificance than the determination of the
question whether the influence of Mr.
Povvdorly remains as strong as it has
been. Wo noted a little while ago some
utterances credited to that gentleman
which wore a good deal of a departure
from thn judicious and conservative
language ho had before used , and there
have been occurrences since then indicat
ing that his uuthorityuml inlluenco had
lost respect in some localities. Ho may
find that the seed ho scattered at two or
three points since the Cleveland conven
tion bavo brought forth fruit not to hU
advantage or to that of the order over
which he presides. His indiscreet utter
ances , not far removed from these in
which the socialists nnd anarchists in
dulge , mnyrnturn to plagtio him at Rich
mond. Nevertheless ho la right in Ma
denunciation of the anarchists and their
destructive principles , and all good citi
zens will wish him success in every effort
to keep the Knights of Labor free from
the influence and contact of this danger
ous and despicable element. American
workingmcif should repudiate them as
the worst foe to their interests and
wclfuru. - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
THE opening proceedings of the Irish
National League convention were of a
character to gratify the friends of Ire-
Innd't or.utio cverywhe.'o. They showed
that the foremost men q'f the body have
a proper sense of the 'slgnlticAtico and
Import anco of the convention In the
moral influence it irtay txert. and of the
great responsibility thai rests upon the
body not to impair this Inlluenco by reck
less speech and ill-considered notion.
The address of Patrick 'Ktfnn was a mod
erate , judicious appeal for harmony , and
that of Judge Fit/.gorald a stirring in
vocation to patriotic hope and endeavor.
These efforts worn.fitly supplemented
with a speech of Mr. O'Hrien , ex-mem
ber of parliament , Who ! is J present as
one of the representatives of Mr. Par-
neil , which strengthened the wholesome
inlluenco of the preceding utterances.
Neither the sneers nor the ridicule of the
London press can diminish the interest
which this convention everywhere in
spires. Kvcry such attention Is an ao-
knowlcdgment of the profound concern
with which it Is regarded in Kngland that
will rather extend and deepen that in
terest , nnd is therefore another reason
commanding the body to observe wisdom
and caution in speech and harmony
in action. There is most favorable
promise that these requirements will pre
vail to the end , and that the result will
bo all that Irishmen and the friends of
Ireland can wish.
TIIK reappointmrnt of Matthews ns
recorder of deeds for the District of Col
umbia , and of a postmaster at Lynchburg -
burg , Vu. , after they had been rejected
by the senate , has raised the question
whether the president had the right to
take such action. An ox-senator is
quoted as saying that ho had not. His
view was that a rejection by the senate
disqunlllics the person rejected from
" performing the duties and receiving the
trusts and urolits of that certain ollico
while the recorded judgment of the
senate remains unroversod. " On the
other hand a ease la roforrcd to in which
President Jackson reappointcd a. re
jected candidate , and it was hold by
Attorney General ( afterwards chief jus
tice ) Tanoy that he had a right to do so.
The tenure of ollico act , however , which
is now operative , provides " that if the
senate shall refnso to advise and consent
to an apuointment in the place of any
suspended officer , then , and not other
wise , the president shall nominate
another ( not the same ) person as soon ns
practicable to the same session of the
senate for the olllco , " The question is ,

methods of procedure anil nullify all pre
cedents ?
