Tun National Opera company has re turned from San Francisco after a sue ccssful season in that city. The compau is how in Kansas City. TIIK Omaha real estate boom has ex tended to Washington City. When roa estate takes "a rise" in Washington am Georgetown , 'tis indeed a poor town thn has no desirable corner lots. THE weekly conference of Mcthodis ministers in 1'hiladelphia decided to ap point a committee to consider the qucs tion of excluding reporters of the prcs from the privileges of the floor. Am thus the reporters last hope for futur happiness has been banished. ST. Louis will adopt the Saturday hall holiday. Several banks there havo'al ready decided to close at 1 o'clock. Tin half-holiday will never be a success un til the employer allows the employe' time to go on. A poor man canuo nfibrd to lose a half day in each week o the year. , _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ THE Imports at the port of New Yor ! last week wore unusually large , amount ing to nearly $11,000,000 , and were mor than double the exports. Yet it Is sail i > ' that the exports of the 60,000 people wh take their beer and go to New Jersey 01 Sundays , hero of late , exceed all othu business of the great metropolis. fc THERE is yet wanted an answer to th question propounded many months age by the long deluded , "What are where hero for ? " At Shenandoah , Pa. , wher the salary of the poslofilco is $1,700 po annum , the republican postmaster re signed a month ago , and up to this dat the president ha * boon unable to llnd i man who will accept the appointment ft And 30 it would appear that in Sam Kan dall'a state the mad ohaio after part ; spoils exists only orally. THE republican state committee ha been called to meet on Juno 8 , ostonsibl for the purpose of electing a new cbaii man in place of the late Judge Wcavei W hy the committee should bo convene at this day , whim there is no genen campaign impending , has not transpire * The prime mover of the premature ca is uid to be Captain Humperoy , th Pawnee blatherskite. The Pawnee wai riot it a candidate for the chairmanshli Kf He wants the position not merely fc fiV plory ; but to punish Governor Thayc for declining to appoint him Judge of th First district. It remains to bo sec whether thooommittoe will demean itso so far , as to plnco the doughty captaln I a position to arengo his owa fanoie wrongs at the expense of Its party. TnxRR wore few men who , made hon orable records as soldiers In the war c the rebellion bettor doservimr a rnouu tatnt than General James B. Steodmai of Ohio , to whom one has Just boon ui YMled at Toledo. A plain , blunt man , a ways an ardent and active democrat ! politics , there was no more unsworvin patriot in the north than Steedinnu who the union was assailed , and among tli earliest to enter the conflict lie was als among the last to come out. Ills gallar try at Chickamauga won him the undls puted title of tliu hero of that raomornli ] engagement , and ho was justly proud o it. General Stcodman was essentially a American soldier , am ) there never live a braver or one more loyal to the unlo cause. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TUB liquor mon of Pennsylvania hav called astato convention for July , i which time they will plan an attack t ) the recant high license bill. They mlgh as well accept the situation. , Nobnvs ka's high license bill U more strict tha the law recently enacted in the Koystou Btato , yet nny liquor man will say to-daj that the provisions of the law are good A high license law moans supproaslo of the doggurios and lower dives. It aU guarantees protection to the more re speotablo saloon men who meet its re \ quircmenU. Under a low license sya & teiu it is pcwsiblo for jug saloons , lov dives and disreputable places to exist the business can never resemble rospoci ability , and those dealers who are d < cent are obliged to ah are equally th odium attached to the dirtiest and filthioi of dives. High license purges a city < the fourth class bar room and receive the protection of the law. Proper regi lation of the traillc Is as much desired L the saloon mon as any others. The SU cuoib-law of Nebraska mooU the requtr Let Htm Vindicate Itlmsolr. A paper published m the town o iVayno is in high dudgeon over wha1 t calls the discourteous treatment whtct .ho Hon. Mr. Slater received at the hand : of the BKE during his recent visit t < Umnlia. Our indignant contemporary assert that as a representative of Wayne to tin railroad conference at Omaha , "Mr. Sin lor was entitled to respectful trcatmon and the malicious attack upon him b ; the HER was unjustifiable and cntirol. uncalled for Inasmuch as the HER fallci to make good its accusation attains Slater and other members of the judi cary committee before the legislature.1 Mr. Slater is therefore called upon t vindicate himself by bringing Itnsowate before the bar of justice in an action fo criminal libel under the now libel law Now wo hope Mr. Slater will not wai until the now libel law goes into eflbo in July. He ought to proceed to repal bis damaged reputation without dela'j Ho can do so by bringing a civil damag libel suit at Omaha , or ho can brin Uosowatcr before the bar of justice in Douclas county court by filing a con plaint against him for criminal libo Wo promise him in advance that we slia [ ntorposo no objection to a speedy tm and a fair hearing. It will certainly a ford the HEE great pleasure to oxouc rate Mr. Slater , If wo fall to provo by preponderance of testimony that ho I one of the most brazen rogues that eve misrepresented a constituency in thn lea islaturo. It is true the judiciary boodlor wore not convicted before the legislature It would have been next to impo ssiblc t convict them botoio the committee whlc the conspirators had packed to prevent proper and thorough invcstigntioi They would have boon wlilti washed even if the commute had been divided in its report That was thn opinion of Speaker Harla and Mr. Dempster , chairman ot the con mittoo appointed by the speaker. 1 was because Slater , Uusscll , Bowman < Co , had packed the committee and fore stalled an impartial investigation th : the charges wore not pressed. Churc Howe who knows a thing or two abou legislative boodlors and white wash , declared openly when the commi toe wus increased by the addition of th man ptckod and named by the conspira tors-"that docs settle it. " But it di not settle It in the minds of any hones man who has road the statement th was sworn to and filed by the editor c the BEE with the first commltto * appointed to make the investigation. S much on that score. And now lot us as why any notorious boodlor should t treated with courtesy and respect by tb BKE or any other paper ? The tact th : ho wai a representative of the citizens \ Wayne to a railroad conference , made liii no raoro respectable than when ho was representative of Wayne county in tl legislature. Omaha was the last plac that Slater should have boon sent as spokesman and representative. Omah has not forgotten his infamous porforn anccs in mutilating her charter , loavin her without registration , and imposin ; upon her citizens fifteen now justices < the peace and other damaging change The idea that the representative of an locality on a railroad conference become vested with the dignities of a plompotci tiary , whoso person and reputation ai sacred , is too absurd for anything. 1 fact , diplomatic usage justifies the di : courteous reception of any represent ? live known to hnvo bcon unfriendly c disreputable. It was an insult to Omah to send this man Slater as a represent ; tlvo , and by rights the board j > l trad should have politely shown him the doc when ho made his appearance. If the citizens of northern Nebraski who desire to co-operate with Omaha i the extension of railroads , want cour eons treatment for their rcprcsontativi from the loading daily of this city , the should Keep their boodlers at homo. Some Plain T lk. Congressman John A. McShano is ti proprietor of the Herald , and as such 1 is personally responsible for the nolle of that shoot. This responsibility ho cai not shirk by pleading inability to give tl paper his personal supervision. Ho not expected to personally write tt editorials or to prescribe their cxa < wording , but he is in position to SB what oourso the paper shall pursue , l cannot evade .responsibility for tl vicious , malignant and slanderous n saults on public men by the i responsible and unprincipled roustaboi whom he retains as chief edito When he permits this insolei adventurer to give himself U airs "of a political dictator an allows him to wage vindictive and cov ardly warfare upon Governor Thayi because tho'governor deolinod to becon his tool , Mr.'McShano most not expoi people to hold him blameless. But tl conduct of McShano'a paper also beai upon its face the stamp of base ingrat tude. Mr.MoShane knows , as every bed In Nebraska knows , that the BKE was th chief factor in his elevation to congresi Could MuShane have carried adistm 7,000 republican even against a more ui popular and disreputable candidate tha Church Howe In opposition to this papo Now why does he retain as editor of tl : Herald a man who boasts In its columi that his sole and supreme ambition is defeat every measure howovc worthy , which the BEE may ai vocato and destroy the In linen of its editor by heaping upon his net the vilest of slanders , and giving count nance to the most dastardly plots to can out this object. Is this Mr. McShano's way of cxhibi ing his acnso of obligation ? Is this tl way ho expects to retain the coniidene of the people of Nebraska ? While U BEE and its editor have no favors to as at the uaads of Mr. McShano or his shei it will exact decent treatment and a di regard for public interests. Btraok tlie Wrong ; Passenger. Governor Thayer needs nc vindicatic at our hands from the libels and slui cast upon him by the impertinent blacl guard whom Congressman McShano hi the Indecency to leave in absolute coi trol of his paper. We do , however , pit pose to brand as untrue and mallclov the statement of McShano's sheet tin Rosowatcr gave his approval and sui port to an act which sold out the worl ingmon to the penitentiary contraoto Wo doty MoShane'B paper to name single member of the legislature who llosowator over advised to support th bill. On the other .hand Hon. C. Smyth who made the most vigorous tigl against the bill m the house , will testl ; hat Rosewater furnished him most ot tbo 'acts ' and figures which ho quoted In .ho house against the bill and also gave lira the name of parties who claimed that they were wilting to take the con vict labor contract at much lower figures than wcro allowed in the bill. Senator Dura * , of SiUino. who offered bait a dozen amendments to the bill nftor it reached the senate and opposed the bill at every stage will certify that Hose- water urged him to offer those amend ments'and posted him fully as to the vulnerable points of the bill. Senator Keoklov , of York , and Speaker Harlan will both certify that they were repeatedly urged by the editor of the BEK to 'oppose this bill , and Senator Lininger , who is on record against it , will also join with thorn , The Omaha boodle editors who wore in the combine against the Omaha chartei bill tried to make capital against Rose water out of the passage of the convict labor bill , by charging him with selling out the worklngman as they dldbycharg ing that ho sold out the taxpayers o ! Omaha to the railroads. Their infamous fabrications on that point have fallen tt the ground long ago , and their story about selling out the workingmen to tin contractor of the penitentiary is equally baseless. \\K do not propose to discuss the relative tivo merits of separate wagon bridges and combination railway and wagoi bridges. The most simple minded wii concede that a separate wagon bridge ii more available for pa&sengcrs and vo hides tiian a railroad bridge with a car ringo way. It is trno that such bridge ; exist at Atchison , Davenport and St Louis. The latter bridge is a double decker and very costly for that reason The St. Louis bridge is reputed to hav < boon 4)uilt at a cost of over six millions A similar bridge at Omaha would cos fully half that sum , while a scpurntc wagon bridge can bo built for half a mil lion or less. As n matter of public con vcnicnco n seprrato wagon bridge h preferable to any combination bridge no matter how constructed. A Minneapolis thcro are thrco wagon bridges across the Mississippi , and an other has been projected. THE republican city central , , commit tee has called a convention to nominati members of the school board. The pri mary elections are called for next wocl ( Friday ) , and the convention1"for Saturday This will leave - . bo dayThis just- one day. twucn the nomination of candidates nm the election , which takes plnco .tho fol lowing Monday. This is in keeping ' will the whole proceeding begotten by a'lev ward politicians whoso only interest li our public schools Is to deal out tin janitorships and play into tno hands o schemers who want to control thojoari for selfish ends. THK complete returns of forty-cigh roads for the month of March show grosi earnings of 182,002,058 , an increase o $5,727,782 , or 20 per cent over 1880 , ant not earnings of $13,170,017 , an increase of $3.200,445 , or 30 per cent , This showf that the intor-stato law has being warpet and fashioned to the oilioials1 fancy. Th < rates are being increased , and the at tempt to make the law odious seems t ( bo partly successful. A few amendment by the next congress will , however , settle tlo the question , A CALL for public meetings to tak < preliminary steps for the nomination ol a non-partizan board of education ap pears elsewhere in this issue. It is to b < hoped that the mooting will bo attendee by all who desire to keep our schoo management out ot politics. TUB St. Louis Qlobc-Democrat insist that John Sherman is the coming man The sturdy Ohio senator is willih' . Other Lands Than Ours. . The British house of commons < hai taken a recess , after Imving spent two thirds of the session on some sixty JUnes of the crimes bill , which has twontj clauses. The events preceding the"ad' ' journmont for the recess clearly disolo36d the spirit of the lories , and carried trli assurance thit when the house resume its sitting the gag law will bo appointed and the infamous measure pushce through with all possible rapidity , ' Dur ing the last day of the session there was a wholesale application of the closure , and the votes showed that the government mont has its forces well in hand. It if very probable that the remaining eigh tocn clauses of the bill will be pushed through in less time than Ifa : boon consumed in discussing th < two clauses that have passed. There i hardly a parallel to the course of thi tories in the present house of common in suppressing debate. " " ' * France continues without a cabinet , thi president having cost about in vain t find a statesman equal to tha task , .o forming one , or who is willing to imprl his political reputation and fortunes b ; doing so. The latest information is"tha , Grovy has appealed to Kouvior to form i cabinet , and that ho will endeavor to di so. Several members of the Goblet gov eminent are to be asked to retain tbci portfolios , but Boulanger Is not amonj them. Just hero , as we pointed ou a week ago , is whore the gacat difli culty is encountered. Grovr will not tel crate a ministry with Bnulangor in it and to form one without him will ofTcni a powerful clement , if not * indeed th majority , of the French pcoplo. It i very evident that Boulangor , consciou of the commanding position ho occupies is not disposed to make a single concce siou to his enemies. That ho is cusll , the most powerful man in Franco at thi time does not admit of a question , and hi scorns to know , as well as the ehrowdca of them , how to take care of himself Ho makes no demonstration to iuvit criticism , but loaves his cause in th hands of .his friends , the number o whom would seem to be steadily incroas ing. The indications now are that if ministry is formed without Boulanco it will ba short-lived , and in tha event a moro serious crisis might ensue % The labor troubles m Belgium are a ; Burning a moat threatening aspect who.i the strikers talk of inaugurating a oivi war. An attack on the troops shows th extent to which the strikers have bocotn exasperated. The troubles are th natural and inevitable consequence of th competition with which Belgian industr ; has to contend la every market. Som of the late coal strikes wore dfrcctcn against companies which have uot pall a dividend for eight or ten years. But behind Ilia labor problem thcro U grave political discontent with the snmllncss of the voting population , " toantry " It la called , or of the "legal , as The property qualification for the exor cise of the franchise is so high that not over 3 per cent * of the population car voto. The liberal associations have taken this up as'thb great question of the day , and are preparing for a congress , It which un effort Will bo made to brine about some sortpf agreement with re gard to it between Iho moderates and tin radicals. The latter demand unlvcrsa suffrage , which tlio'formur ' oppose on the ground that the ignorance of the masse : is still so great as to make it dangerous nnd suggest as the first stop towards ar extension of the suffrage , the introduc tion ot an educational qualification , it addition to , or rather in lieu of , the property qualification , where this 1 wanting. The porlc Is before the powers agait with a brace of fresh requests , one being for permission to issue a loan of $25,000 , 000 on the Egypt and Cyprus tributes and the other that the powers will nomi nate somn candidate for the Btilgurlai throne who will bo acceptable to the so branjo. Both requests are in the line o chronic helplessness which has long bcci associated with Turkey. Tha puzzle ii her finances is how she constantly man ages , when apparently beyond the bet torn of her casli and quite at tiio bet torn of her credit , to hunt up semi now article of value to pawn or some ole one on which additional mortgage la possible. With a billion dollars or so oi debt , on which only fractional interest ii paid , she was nblo not long ago to pledge some of her railways for money will which to buy guns and ammunition. No comes another device , and the wonder is where -it will end. Perhaps she wll begin .soon to soil out some of her island. or outlying provinces if.tho powers will allow each other to buy them. * The financial condition of Franco I : cited as one reason why it L > so difficult to Hud any one willing to form a minis try. The debt Is estimated to bo at least $5,000,000,000 , and the vast expenditures for war preparation ! ) , have necessitated taxation almost beyond the limits of en < duranco. And the taxes have bcon laic on the protection plan , to propitiate the agricultural classes especially , and the taxes on food are specially oppressive The tax on imported wheat has boon re poatcdly raised , until it is now equal to about twonty-tivot-per cent. It was claimed that the grjco of bread would not rise in consequence , but it has risen and some of the manipulators have ros urrccted an ancnont law authorizing thorn to fix a hmxwjum price for broad , This is making tr < jfblo among the bak ers. The statesmen-economists did no venture to put a fat on imported broad and so the Belgian j bakers are doing i thriving business by sending broad into Franco free of dujy , while wheat is taxoc twonty-iivo per cent. This , of course , in creases the irritation among the French bakers. And so fhfhgs are going fron bad to worse. No wonder is it thai French slatosmcuVho care anything foi their political future hesitate under such circumstances tot attempt the task o forming a ministry. " " * * The announcement that the Emporoi William does not intend going to Gascon this year , and that consequently the tra dltional interview of the Emperor of Aus tria witli the German emperor is not t < take place this summer , has cast a certain tain gloom upon Vienna circles , and hai even had an unfavorable effect upon thi Boorso. Nevertheless , it is a fact that thii matter has nothing whatever to do witl politics , but is exclusively connectec with the physical condition of the Gor man emperor. Last year the Berlin phy sloians hesitated to send the amperor t < Gastoin because they feared the fatigue : of the journey , and also considered tha the high , mountainous situation of thi place would bo prejudicial to the em poror's health. Bnt he himself at thn time fcltan irresistible longing to go te Gasteln , so that the physicians pave way This year , however , they decline to assume > sumo the responsibility , and the emporoi will have to renounce his accustomoc visit to his favorite watering placo. But though the mooting of the two emperor is not likely to take place this year , oni may count with all the moro certainty ot an interview of the loading ministers o Germany and Austria , Prince von Bis marckand Count Kalnoky. % Fresh trouble for Do Lesseps is an nounoed from Panama.

This ac cidcnt , which is a serious and costly oni on its face , will not bo an unmlxoeTdisas tor if it convinces Do Lesseps that he cannot cut an ocean-level canal , and that a surface-lock canal , instead of i sea-level canal , in long , deep and narrow cuts , is the only practical way of getting across the isthmus.

In Dad Tasto. Tecuinseh Chieftatn , The attacks of the Omaha Kopubllcan on Governor Thayer are In bad taste. The governor H too good a man , too strong an oilicer , and too staunch a republican to be Injured * jured In any way by the vaporlne of a man whom he failed to appoint police commis sioner. It don't hurt the old warrior a parti cle , but It annoys his friends , because it is all uncalled for and silly. Decidedly Out of Place. Kearney Nonpareil. Ever since Governor Thayer appointed the Omaha ( iro.nnd police commission the Ito- publtcan has been making potty tlings at him. It bases them on the fact that the governor wrote a "silly" letter to the appointees , when the fact is that he was only urging them to do their duty and make Omaha a city where life and property will bo safe all of the twenty-four hours of the day. The governoi was one of the founders of Omaha , knows the city pretty well now , and the Republi can's dirty flings are decidedly out ot place. It developes , however , that the editor of tha llepubllean wanted a job on the commission himself and Is piqued at his failure to secure it. If such Is the case his conduct Is fai from manly , and ho must quit that sort oi racket If he is going to edit the leading paper of Nebraska. The people know the governor too well for such a course to have the Intended effect. The Governor Still Lives. Kance Cuioitv Journal. Editor Kothackcr , whose birth into Ne braska citizenship is of such recent date as to maue It a matter of question whether he Is yet thoroughly dry behind the ears , was a prominent candidate this spring for the office of police commissioner. Instead ot mod estly hlntlne to the governor that he would not refuse to accept the commission If ten dered him , he simply demanded the place aa a recognition of his valuable services to the parly , and the governor In partic ular , during the campaign last fall. But Governor Thayer wisely concluded that a common street thug was not the proper person to monkey with police matters and eentlr but firmly refused to ac cede to his egotistical demands , and now tlw IraU Itotnackei has opened war on his exceV loncy with "words studied as to their sever ity. " lie misses no opportunity to heap am- turaely and vituperation upon the executive head , but to no purpose. In the face of it all the office to which he aspired Is tilled 07 an other man , and the government at Lincoln still survives. Mr. Rothacker , although s very astute young man and a sharp , news paper writer withal , has still many , many , wholesome truths to learn , nnd none more prominent than the fact that he Is as yet an unimportant factor In the political make-up ot the state and should bo content , for a time at least , to occupy the calf pasture be fore he is turned in with the full grown steers.

" Iho Two Assemblies. Denver TrViune. The Presbyterian general assembly , which has been in session for several days in Omaha , has made overtures tc the southern assembly of the same church , which has been in session in St , Lotus , looking to a union of the twc bodies. Those assemblies were separated during the war , the difficulty between tnom having grown out of the slavery question. It is exceedingly unfortunate that a divi sion arose , and U is all the more unfortu nate because the prospect for a union at an early date is not very bright. The war is dead and slavery is dead , but the memories of the war still live. It is probable that the Missouri ministers who sympathized with the south were not fairly treated , The war feeling was strong there , because Missouri was upon the border. Out of the differences in politics grew an ill-feeling which ren dered it impossible for the members ol the opposing factions to afliliate. But that day is so far gene that its memories would probably not have much effect toward keeping the two assemblies apart. The Missouri synod , whether of tno northern or the southern church , constitutes a comparatively speaking small part of the whole. The real dilh- culty in the way of union , it appears , lies in the fact that tbo old assembly made certain deliverances on the subject of slavery , declaring , in substance , that the owning of slaves was a sin. This the southern part of the church could not endorse. The southern members bad owned slaves all their lives ; and. instead of considering slavery a sin , they ap pealed to the bible as authority justify ing it. They had previously organized a general assembly Known as the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America. After the close ot the war they substituted the word "united" for "confederate" in their name , but , owing to the deliverances of the northern assembly on the subject of slavery , they refused to unite with them. This is the way the matter now stands. The northern assembly will not retract what'it said , and the southern assembly will not content to a union DO- long as the old deliverances ou the subject of slavery are not recalled. The southern members think that to unite under those circumstances would bo to surrender everything and confess that they were sinners in lending their approval to slavery in the old days buforo tbo war. It would scorn that a good way in which to got around this difficulty would bo for the southern assembly to declare its position on the slavery question definitely and then to consent to a union. If the northern asscmblv would consent to a union under thcso conditions , the sit uation presented would bo simply that , upon the question of slavery , the two assemblies had oirrocd to disagree. It looks Itko folly for two bodies of in telligent moil and of professing Chris tians to stand aloof from each other on any such issue as this. Slavery hero is thoroughly dead , and it ought not to divide ) Christian pcoplo In this day. It is possible that the * southern assembly would lind it difllcult at this date to adopt n resolution approving of slavery. Surely a sentiment in.condcmnution of slavery is growing in the south , nnd the day may come in which the majority of the southern members will bo willing to say to their northern brelhern mat slavery was indeed a sin. But before this can bo a generation born sincn slavery was abolished must corno upon the scuuo. Ihc Young Man In Politico. SI. Lout * ainbc-Dtinnerat. When Chauncey M. Depcw , at the ban quet to Hon. Theodore Uoosevclt in Now York a few nights since , staled that the object of the gathering was to honor the "young man in politics , " ho furnished an entirely adequate reason for the as semblage. The young man , in the acgro- grcguto , is a potent clement in politics. In each presidential canvass during the pint decade and a- half 1,000,000 mon voted who were too young to cast a bal lot at the national election immediately preceding it. The political organization which can most strongly attract young men to it fa the organization which will win in any contest In which the privilege of voting is freely enjoyed by all classci of clti/cns. The student of American politics wit have no dilliculty in pointing out niiuij instances in which young men wore the controlling oloinrnt in presidential can- vassoa. It undoubtedly was the vote oi thi ) men under twenty-live which elected Jackson. Harrison , Polk , Taylor , Lincoln nnd ( trnnt. Jackson's record us a brava and successful soldier in battling against his country's foes won him hosts of sup porters among young mon who would have vntcul for Adams if the democrats had selected nny other man than the hero of Now Orleans. Kvem in the can vass nf 1331 , In which ho was unsuccess ful , he received moro of the popular vote than was giyon for Aijums and Clay com- blncd. Thn fact that none of the ) four candidates Crawford being the other obtained a majority of the electoral votes throw the election into the house of rep resentative , in which Adams was chosen. In the two canvasses immediately suc cor-ding this ono Jackson was successful. Military service was the dominant influ ence winch arrayed the young mon of the country on the side of Harrison risen and Taylor , whlgs the one in 1810 and the other in 1848 nnd elected thorn , In the onnvus.s of 1830 , in which Harrison was defeated , the whig strength was divided botweuu him , Web ster and Mnitgum. Polk , democrat , was elected In 1811 because ho was committed in favor of the annexation of Texas , a scheme which , at that time , had a great attraction for young mon , even for Those opposed to the extension of slavery , which the success of the project would involvo. The most conspicuous illustration In American history of thn potency of young men in politics wns that furnished in 186'J. ' Thn moil of the middle and older period of life , for the most part , bound by party prejudices , traditions and friendshipsre mained in the orcnni/.atioiis with which they had been identified during their pre vious manhood. The young men , however - over , knowing nothing of such intlucnros , and consequently being more readily brought into -sympathy with any now movement which deserved support , quickly recognized the moral grandeur of the cause which the republican party championed , and triumphantly elected Abraham Lincoln. After the death of Lincoln the regard and affection of the young men centered on Grant , the next most illustrious nnd exalted liguro of the period , and made him president. Grant , howoveir , wns such a favorite that ho probably would have been chosen even if half the young mon hud voted for his principal opponents in the canvasses in which ho successively appeared. In the present division of sentiment throughout the country neither of the two great parties can claim a preponder ance of the aggregate voto. In the can vass of 1884 Ciovoiand's plurality on the popular vote over Blnino was only 62,083 , on a total of 4,848,834 givento Blaine , while ho had 333,000 lower votes than Blaine , Butler and St. John combined. The result , indeed , hinges on the utnto of New York , in which commonwealth , if 000 of those who voted for Cleveland had east their ballots fur Blaine , instead , the republicans would have been trium phant. The party which would make Itself assured of success in the coming national canvass must nominate a candi date and proclaim u policy which will win the support of the majority of the young mon of the country.
