THESE arc "buncombe" days in con-
gross. Deluded representatives arc
reading long-winded manuscripts on

tenths of the congressman are betting
on horso-raoes , attending hasp ball
matches and having a good time gener
ally. That is the way our law makers
are taking action on the pressing ques
tion of the hour.
THE democrats are now ripe to com-
jnit those blunders which will cost them
dear at the presidential cloption. The
factional quarrel between the Gray mon

the republicans no dlfllculty in carrying

augurs well for republican victory in

and Connecticut , republican success
would bo certain , regardless of the out

THE commercial metropolis of the

forward to tbo day not fur distant when

ADVICES from Montana regarding
cattle on the ranges are not altogether

much improvement. Sinoo the preval
ence of bettor weather , however , they
nro gaining , and the territory is ex
pected to furnish its usual supply. For
a couple of weeks past there lias boon
excellent weather , which leads the Sun
River Sun to remark that "from all np-
jiearaucos the present scaspn will bo

Illinois Republicans.
There are obvious reasons why the
republicans of Illinois will exert a very
important influence upon the national
republican convention , nnd therefore
their expressions have peculiar interest
aud significance. The slate convention
on Wednesday was a thoroughly repre
sentative body , characterized by har
mony , enthusiasm and confidence. It
assembled free from any binding con
ditions , such as were , to a certain ex
tent , imposed upon the republicans of
Ohio and Iowa. No ' 'favorite son"
.waited or expected n presidential en
dorsement. Ho who might have occu
pied that position preferred to leave
Ills constituents untramraclod by any
demands. Thus the republicans of Illi
nois were in a position to indicate their
presidential preference with deliberate
reference to what they believe to bo for
the best interest ot tlio party ns a whole.
This they did unanimously for Judge
Groshain , and , under the circumstances ,
the country will not fall to give great
weight to their judgment. The dis
tinguished jurist is not an Illinois man.
So far ns anybody is nwaro , ho is not a
candidate for the presidency. No ono
has yet ventured to say in his behalf
that ho desires the nomination , and lit
no titno has ho manifested any interest
or concern regarding the use that
is being made of his name as
an available man to head the re
publican national ticket. lie is attend
ing daily to the performance of his
official duties with apparently no
thought of the great honor which nu
merous admirers of his ability nnd In
tegrity in all portions of the country
are seeking to press upon him. It maybe
bo safely said that no member of the
Illinois convention possessed the slight
est knowledge the regarding feelings of
Judge Gresham respecting the move
ment to make him a presidential candi
date. Yet being neither a favorite son
nor a confessed aspirant , a representa
tive convention of Illinois republicans
declares unanimously in bis favor
as a presidential candidate , "know
ing him to be a pure man nnd
a faithful servant , " and confident that
ho can lead the party to victory.
This action will place Judge Gresham
where ho has not actually been until
now , in the list of republican leaders
whoso names will go before the national
convention. He has a state behind him ,
aud ono whose influence will not bo in
considerable. The casual or incidental
attention which has hitherto been given
to his claims aud his availability must
now become deliberate and serious. Ho
has been given a standing , a vantage
ground , and has become a positive factor.
The republicans of Illinois have
invited the republicans of the
nation to fully and candidly
consider a candidate to whom they
promise their hearty and faithful sup
port , with full faith in his high charac
ter and his superior availability. The
party will cheerfully accept the invita
tion.
A Promising OutlooJc.
No commercial organization in the
country js better able to forecast the
future of business than the Now York
chamber of commerce , and merchants
o very where will learn with interest the
opinion of the otllccrs of that body , ex
pressed in the annual report recently
submitted , that the outlook for the
present year's .business is highly favor
able. The report notes increasing firm
ness in the financial situation , and that
the money market , with a strong inetalli c
reserve , is beyond the reach of specula
tive combinations. "Tho outlook for
trade , " says the report , "is satisfactory
and beyond what is usually expected in
a year of political struggle. Less
fluctuations are looked for in the
future , and a more secure financial refit
for all the great industries of the coun
try. " It is a welcome fact to find this
strong body of commercial mon unqual
ifiedly condemning the formation of
trusts to control the product and price
of commodities.
Favorable assurances from such a
source , if they do not operate to stimu
late enterprise , must at least be olTeet-
ivo in strengthening confidence. Un
questionably the tendency for some time
past has boon in the opposite direction ,
and yet it has upt been possible to find
an entirely satisfactory reason for it.
Some reaction from the vigorous ac
tivity of last year was to bo
expected , nnd the continued locking up
of money in the treasury is certainly
bomething of a menace , but two suc
cessive years of business prosperity is
not unusual in this country , aud there
fore it in not unreasonable to expect the
present year to be fairly prosperous ,
though the aggregate results will very
likely tint 0tuu ( UIOBO of last year. So
far as the supply of money is concerned
there seems to bo no lack of it for all
legitimate purposes , and the amount in
the hands of the people is now beii.g in
creased by the bond purchases of the
treasury. As wo noted some days ago
there is likely to bo a great deal more
railroad construction than was expected
at the beginning of the year ,
aud it will bo done at a lots
ultimate cost to the pooplo. Ono un
favorable feivturo ot the situation is the
unpromising condition of wheat in most
of the wheat growing states , but it is
yet early to find in this fact any great
discouragement. On thu whole there
is reason to tixpoot that this presidential
year may prove an cxcopUon to the
usual businobbexperience of the country
In such years.
By the completion and conbolidtilion
of the various railroad fcyslonis connect
ing the cities of Chicago , Onmhn , Kan-
sus City , Denver and St. Loi.is with Now
Orleans uiid Galvnston , gruin for export
can be shipped to Kuropa cheaper than
via Chicago and Now York by rail. TLie
is n competition which custom ruUrcads
fear more than the luke route from
Chicago to Buffalo. This is owing to the
fact thnt bettor timt it matic botweun
OhlrajTO and New OrUunEthan between
Chlcugo and N w Voik via the lukos ,
und u-t rates equally t s olionp , To thu
farmer of the wojt tin- new out'.o' is
cheaper und more rap 1.1 for the chip-
ment of his grain to the Liverpool mar
ket. Eastern railroads uru alive to thin
turn of affairs. Alrtmdy a ccmmibfio'i
nt Chicjigo has fixed a rate 'of freight
frcuu that city to tU-o Atlantic suabcuid
about twonty-firo per cent lower than
the present rato. The drop In freight
charges is made to crush the southern
carrying trade at its inciploncy. But
the Gould system nnd the recently com
pleted Fort Worth road can not bo driven
from the field without a struggle. The
battle has only begun. Its final outoorao
cannot bo predicted. But the time has
arrived when railroad transportation
in so far as it effects the shipping of
grain to Europe is destined to bo
revolutionized by the opening of these
southern trunk lines.
Fen several years in Now York nnd
other eastern cities it hns been the
practice of wholesale houses to give
their employes a Saturday afternoon
holiday during the summer months.
The plan hns been fouifd to work most
satisfactorily to all concerned , and may
be regarded as permanently established
in those cities that have adopted it. A
movement with a similar object has boon
started in Omaha , it being proposed
that the wholesale and jobbing houses
shall close on Saturday afternoon from
the middle of May to the middle of Oc
tober. The plan has thus far received
the acquiescence of about thirty Craig ,
and the re is every reason tobolievo that
it will go into effect hero with most
of the wholesale and jobbing establish
ments. There are excellent reasons in
support of it , nnd the faat that it has
been approved nftor several years of
trial by some of the most extensive es
tablishments in the country is strong
evidence in its favor. It is to bo hoped
our wholesale houscsand jobbers gener
ally will adopt the plan.
IN justice to the residents about the
base ball grounds , it can not bo denied
that they are annoyed beyond endur
ance by the hoodlum and small boy
element of the city. At every game of
ball , especially these which tuko place
on Sunday , their grounds nro overrun ,
their property is injured , and their
peace and quiet uro disturbed by the
irrepressibles. It is not to bo wondered
at that Mr. Parmoloe , whoso grounds ad
join the huso ball park , should ask for
nn injunction to restrain base ball
playing when it is the cause of vandal
ism to his property. It appears to us
that relief could bo secured from such
annoyance without resort to the courts.
If the association will pay for the ser
vice of three or four special policemen
to patrol the streets in the vicinity of
the park whenever a ball game takes
place and arrest nil trespassers , the dis
orderly clement will learn that resi
dents hayo a right to peace and quiet
oven in the midst of an exciting base
ball season.
IF the present system of conducting
national conventions bo kept up a de
cade longer the number of delegates to
each convention will not bo less than a
full regiment. There will bo 822 dele
gates to the republican and democratic
conventions this year. Within the next
eight years all the territories will be
admitted. Counting the delegates from
each congressional district of these now
states and the number whp will bo se
lected by reason of the increased popu
lation of the country , the total number
of representatives to each of the conven
tions will not be less than a thousand.
In an exciting political contest of
\Varring factions it will bo impossible
for a chairman to control such a vast
assembly. It would seem therefore that
a change in the present methods of
nominating presidential candidates
must bo made.
MR. INOAI.LS assorts that Lamar was ap
pointed to the supreme bench to please Joft
Davis. This is on a plane with the many
fool utterances of the grave robber from
Kansas. If Mr. Lauinr was so appointed ,
did he receive confirmation at the bauds of a
republican senate for the same reason !
Omaha Herald.
The confirmation of Justice Laranr
was accomplished by the union of two
republican corporation senators Stan
ford of California , and Stewart of Ne
vada with the domocVats. With the
exception of these Pacific coast monop
olists , every republican in the senate
voted against confirming Lamar. There
can bo no excuse for the attempt
to pervert an important historical fact
of such recent occurrence as the vote of
the senate on Lumar's confirmation out
of mere partisan spito.

DEI.EOATJ ! GOSSIP ,
Tbo question of delegates to tbo national
republican convention is receiving attention
from almost every prominent republican in
the city. U is of especial interest to a num
ber of republicans in this district , By them
it scorns to be considered an honor to repre
sent a state in the national councils of the
party , and , while thoio uro many who would
strongly dcsiro to go to the convention as
deiegutes-at-large , there arc none who nro
beyond beiug satisfied Wilh a district nom
ination.
The method of electing these delegates
differs in Home respects from llmt which bus
Just boon carried out by the democrats. Llko
them , tbo republicans of this state are en
titled to ton delegates in the
national convention , mid like them
also. it is presumed four
delegates will be elected ut Jar o and two in
each of the congrohsloiml districts. Tlio
delegates at largo will , however , bo elected
in n district coiivontioji which will bp hold as
above Mated , at Ashland , and which will bo
entirely Independent of the Btato convention.
The delegates nt larpo will bo elected In tbo
latter convention , which us also stated will
bo held hero on the Ifitb lust.
The most prominent candidate for district
delegate is Charles Greene , the rosy hued
uttornoy for the B. & M. Ho ha a strong
deslro to bo heard in that august as-
Bomblugo. Ho holds tlirro is nothing
certain in politics.but fuel * that tliuro nroreu-
I.OIIB to believe that ho will bo clouted. If per
sistent labor in the direction mentioned bo
sufficient to atouboUiix feeling. Mr. Orcmie
is JuMirtod In believing that ho will bo
elected. Ho bos loft no pobbln unturned or

pimpwitlvo delegates along tbo I ) St M.
Muixer's fciiturea , from exposure to tl40 c'o- !
menU , hnvo assumed a complexion akin to
that of u Hloux , but it longs nicely with that
of the principal.

Broatch Is out of the Hold ; tbo others nho

In the matter of outsldo delegates , the
anxious are equally numerous , Kcovlllo of
Saundcrs county , Bates of Gage , Hnunora of
Otoe , LnmborUon nud Whccdon of Lancas
ter are working for the place , though the
Lincoln people will have some dlftloulty In
agreeing upon a man , the factional feeling
being such ns to retire the harnessing of a
sombre equine ,
Whatever bo the outcome of the conven

them will bo among the liveliest over bold In

On account of the unpropitloua weather a
rather small nudionco turned out last evening -
ing at the now Y. M. C. A. rooms to woloomo
the now general secretary , Mr. E. T. Dad-
num. The opening exorcise was a vooal solo
by Miss Daisy Allen , after which Mr. P. C.
Hluiobaugh , president of the association in
this city , delivered n brief address of wel
come. Mr. Dadmun responded also in a
short and tnodost speech , asking for the
hearty support of the members of the associ
ation , assuring them hovould constantly
prny for Divine help to successfully perform
his duties and foil that ho had been called by
the Master to labor In this portion of His
vineyard. Ills speech was earnest and full
of fueling and was hopeful for tbo future suc
cess of the association hero.

was not confined to any particular subject.
nud touched on n variety of Ibomcs. Ho llrst
welcomed the new secrotnry to Omaha , told
him that while the devil did not welcome him
hero ho could welcome the devil ; ho Im
pressed on the secretary's mind that the
Gate City was a regular uotbcd of iniquity
and ho had a great deal of hard work
ahead of him lighting this evil. Ho
thought the V. M. C. A. worked too
much for themselves and not cuough
for the churches. The association was con'
fined too much to bookkeepers I'lid clerks to
the exclusion of artisans nnd tradesmen. Ho
advocated publishing cards In tbo various
country papers of the state inviting the
joung men to drop Into the Y M. C. A.
rooms when they como to Omaha.
At tl > p close of Mr. Dotwollcr's address a
n short informal reception was held nnd the
now secretary was given n hearty handshake
of welcome by all present.

A Suit to Recover Possession Being
Seriously Contemplated.
And now comes the Information that un
less the city at once tiike measures to pro
vide for the immediate grading of the streets
around Hauscom park , that the donors will
institute suit to recover possession of the
property , on tbo grounds that tbo city bus
not fulfilled thu conditions stipulated in the
document transferring the title.
The deed is recorded in book 13 , page CIO.
in the ofllco of the register of Uoods , and 1.4
signed by Andrew J. Hnnscom nnd wife , und
J. G. Mcucath and wife. Tlio conditions of
the document were that the land t > o aonntod
was to bo preserved as a public patlc ; thnt
the city was to expend a stated sum of
money each year up 1370 in improving und
beautifying the same and that nftor the your
1870 the park must bo kept In good condition.
Also , that the city was to grade n alrip
of ground eighty feet wldo
around and adjoining said tract conveyed
as above , to bo used as a street or highway" ,
nnd tuat the sa'd ' city of Omalm shall keep
the same in good condition ; and in case of
failure on the part of the said city to keep
Raid property in good condition or to giado
said streets , the title shall revert baok to the
original owners , Andrew J. Hauscom find J.
G. Mogcath. " At present , Woolworth
avenue on the north , Thirty-sccoq'u on
the west , and Park atfcnub
south to Hickory on the east
nro graded , while IJd yroighjo'fi
street on the south and Park nvcnuo south
from Hickory on the east are not nud ar °
generally In an impassible condition , thcra
not being oven a sidowulk for pedestrians.
Some thirteen mouths ago tba nmttor was
broucrht before the council and IJie streets
mentioned ordered graded. Tho'boarfl or
public works advertised for bids , which wcro
received nnd the contract awarded , tlio price
being $2,000 The contract was sent to the
council for its approval , got into the hands of
a committee , where it slumbered for a year ,
and was finally reported on unfavorably , the
committee- claiming there was no available
fund for the purpose.
Since Unit time efforts have boon made to
induce the council to take steps In the mutter
but in vnin , and now it is probable that the
courts will decide whether or not tbo tltlo to
the land can be icguiucd ,
The case would doubtless bq of great in
terest , as Hauscom park Is the one grepn
spot in the city whore thr tired Omuhan ran
ictlro on n dusty , sultry Hummer's dny
nnd suck a shady nook and its
loss would bo irreparable. Should tha ma { .
tor get into court however , it is learned that
then any action on the part of the city would
como too Into , as the Interested partlQu' pa
tience has become cxliauntcd nnd the Hint
would bo fought to u finish.
