Nebraska should not lese sight of this. Tin : dehorning of cnttlo ia ns yet nn cxporimont. But the dehorning of po litical aspirnnUi goes merrily on. TIII8 mny bo n poor year for railroad building In Nebraska , but tbo corpora- tionsjvro making wonderful advances in politics. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TUB amusement for the convention was supplied chiefly by that talented comedian , Pat O. Hawes. Ho seemed to bo in his normal condition. Mil. GUULKY'S eloquence was not of a very brilliant order Tuesday evening , but there is nothing to inspire a man in the performance of a merely perfunctory tusk. Tin : surviving members of Quantroll's guerilla band held a reunion at Blue Springs , Mo. , the other day. And still it is claimed , that the democratic cam paign down Bouth has not boon formally opened. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ GKNEIIAI , ATTOUNEY THUUSTOK got through by a safe majority , but his vote was largely behind that of Egan and Norval , showing there were some men in the convention who had the courage to reject the Union Pacific dose. DlSLKOATE I. S. HASCALIi , of Douglas - las , endeavored to play bell-wether in the convention : But his olTorts to create a laugh over the masterly resolutions road by ox-Scmitor Van Wyck fell flat. Ho was promptly and effectually snubbed by Chairman Ncsbitt. THE' masterly speech of Judge Crounso , of Washington , made tlio rail road crowd wince under his sarcasm and unanswerable truths. With solemn dignity ho warned them of the "Ides of November , " when the people will sit in judgment upon the work of the conven tion. THIS market gardeners have bestirred themselves in tin effort to secure the long wished for market house. If the butchers and dairymen join with them in pushing forward the project and in adopting a feasible plan , capitalists will stop forward to furnish the necessary funds for a first-class public market. DAB a compliment to the male sex the equal rights party consented finally to put Alfred II. Love for vice president on the ticket nominating Dolva A. Lockwood for president of the United States. Women and love have proved such a winning combination , that Belva and Love nro expected to sweep in everything , including old maids , next full. BY old and thoughtful ropublicans.tho action of the stnto convention in ignor ing the resolution offered by Van Wyck inuat bo condemned. The fact of a man who has been strong and promi nent in the republican parly for more than thirty years being insulted by a few hoodlums scarcely out of their swaddling clothes , certainly adds no strength to the party. IK spite ot the croaking of railroads that the intcr-Bluta laws and etato laws ImvQ affected their earnings , the April reports for 1888 of 100 rail roads show nn increase over last year of $742,230 on an increased mlloago of 8,202 iniloa. For the first week of May the earnings of twenty-eight roada wore 82,4iM,8 7 , ns against $ -,180,222 sumo time last year ; nn increase of about 10 ! per cent. This is a healthful showing of the railroad business. TUB denial by the supreme court of the United StuteB of the application fern n rehearing of the , telephone case will disappoint n , great many people who hnd hoped tlmt ( mother chnnco would bo given for a more searching inquiry re garding the validity of Hell's claim as the iuvoiitor of the telephone , in which Justice Luinur tuul the now chief justice could participate. But the practice of the bupremo court is not to grant n rehear ing ofa , case unless asked by ono of the justices concurring in n decision , nnd ns $ , no such request \\-aa made by either of " * * the three justices who united with the Into chief justice in upholding the valid ity of Boll's claim , the application for a rehearing was domed. The grip ol the Uoll monopoly is thus made a llttlo The Finished Work. The republican party of Nebraska has finished the work of choosing delegates to the national convention. Whnt is the result ns representing the views and interests of the farmers and worklng- rneii of the state , who constitute the rank and file of the party ? Of the ton men who will speak and act for Ne braska at Chicago , 7hnt ono is there who can bo counted with certainty to voice the real sentiment of the great body of the republicans of this stale , and oppose the influence likely to bo ex erted there in hostility to the wishes and interests of the people. There is not ono. In the First district two rail road attorneys wore chosen by the most palpable and high-handed cxorclso of corporation influence. The delegates from the Second and Third districts are harly less servile to railroad control and dictation. And to crown all , the state convention elected four delegates- at-large all of whom arc in sympathy with the corporations as nguinst the people , while the man who will un doubtedly dominate the entire delega tion is the general attorney of the Union Pacific , the corporation that has not only done more than any other to oppress and plunder the farmers of Nebraska , but haq dared to assort , with the help of n federal judge , its independence of the authority of the state of Nebraska. Was over a party sunk to lower depths of degrading servitude to the corrupting power of , the corporations than is the republican party of this slate ? In view of this action , what a sham and mockery nro the declarations of the platform relating to the corporations ! What man of intelligence will place any confidence in the enunciations of a convention demanding of the corpora tions that they shall listen to the voice of labor , and assorting the right of the state to regulate the rail ways ( within its boundaries , when that convention goes into a delirium of enthusiasm at the mention of the name of the attorney of the most despotic and defiant of nil the corpora tions ? How is it possible to have faith in declarations or pledges favorable to the people proceeding from men whoso conduct shows them to bo the abject servitors of the enemies of the poo- ploVBut But the work Is finished , and it must stand. It demonstrates most completely that the republican party of Nebraska is in the shackles of the railroad cor porations , bound hand and foot by the corrupt , unscrupulous and self-seeking politicians who have been permitted to assume its leadership. Is it a hopeless bondngeor have the rank and tile of the party the free and honest republican farmers and workingrnen the courage to resent such leadership and throw oil the bondage as they may , In part , do at the approaching slate convention ? Wo shall see. Meanwhile wo most earnestly protest that the great body of Nebraska republicans will bo misrepre sented in the national convention of the party. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Sell < l fbr Grovor. Those who have had doubts regard ing the sentiment of the democracy of Now York toward Mr. Cleveland will have them removed by the expressions and action of the democratic state con vention. These wore enthusiastic and unqualified in approval of the adminis tration. The platform is in the nature of a panegyric , and every man selected to go to St. Louis is a storehouse of Cleveland zeal. It has required some effort on the part of the administra tion to bring about this condition of uiTuirs. The democratic convention of a year ago manifested no such unanimity in favor of the presi dent. On the contrary there was a very largo element in that convention which did not hesitate to proclaim its displeas ure with Mr. Cleveland's policy , and which was only placated and brought into line by great effort. When the state committee was subsequently or ganized it was a question whether Cleveland or Hill had the majority. Stilt later there wore numerous and con spicuous indications that the bontiment of the democracy of New York was far from harmonious toward the president. Very active work has since boon done by the administration managers to har monize the part } ' in the Empire state , and it would seoin with complete suc cess. There is absolutely nothing now in the way of Cleveland being renomi- natcd l > y acclamation. Furthormoio , ho is so completely in command of the situation that ho may , if ho please , dictate who shall bo associated with him on the ticket. As to the plat form , it will bo made to fit the candi date. It is somewhat amusing , in the light of the pasl attiludo and expressions of the democracy of Now York , to road tiio fulsome laudation the party now showers upon the national administra tion. It baa , according to this testi mony , kept and realized all pledges , ac complished great reforms , and in all rcbpocts been a model of wikdom and statesmanship. To show that this view has but recently obtained it is sufficient to cite the fact that less than a year ago no part of the demo cratic party in the country was moro uncompromisingly opposed to the pro fessed civil service reform policy of Mr. Cleveland than the Now York part. It has bitterly deprecated , also , the dispo sition of the president , manifested until within loss than a year , to consult and gratify mugwump opinion in the con duct of his administration. Thousands of democrats in the state have de nounced him as not of the party. Two years ago there wore in various parts of the state revolts against his pronounced friends , notably in' his former home , ButTalo , made with the avowed object of rebuking Mr. Cleveland. A romarku- bio apparent conversion has taken place , showing both the political activity and skill of the administration. But the democrats of Now York will have to share with the party generally the suspicion that they are not sincere , and that the inspiration of their prnlbo of the adininibtratlon is the attraction of the spoils. Latterly Mr. Cleveland has been more disposed than during the that two years of hU administration to see the value of these to his ambition , und this has helped him to u better standing with his party- ; but oven now the grout majority of democrats , whether in Now Yorker or elsewhere , do not feel any strong confidence in him as a party man. They have little fnith that if reelected - elected ho will not resume the mo thoda which mndo the first two years ot his administration so offensive to thorn. In any event , however , they must take him , and they will do so with the strongest possible manifestation of zeal and enthusiasm however much of con scious stultification may bo involved. IT is proposed that the consuls and commercial agents of the United States in foreign countries shall furnish to the bureau of agriculture monthly rouorts relative to the character , condition and prospective yields of the agricultural and horticultural industries of the coun try in which they are respectively situ ated , such reports to bo incorporated in the monthly bulletins of the commis sioner of agriculture. The innovation will bo useful , and , as it can bo made without material additional expense to the government , the plan should bo adopted. In reporting the bill for this purpose the senate - ate committee on agriculture and forestry said It was but simple justice to persons engaged in agri culture and horticulture that they should bo given ns full and complete an account as possible of the condition , character , extent and modes of culture of the various products of the soil in the countries where this country is rep resented by consuls , such information being valuable in several ways. It was urged that the markets of the farmers of the United States must bo cnlarcred , in view of the increasing products of the farm , the garden and the orchard , and these foreign reports would greatly aid in bringing about such a result. The farmer who may have a surplus desires to know the best market to which it may bo sent , and it is the duty of his government to keep him advised of such facts. It is quite time that more interest was taken by the government in supplying American farmers with frequent and accurate information regarding the ag ricultural conditions of other lands , and it is a service which can bo added to the labors of our consuls without op pressing them. There can bo no reasonable - sonablo opposition to the measure to se cure this service. Mit. NATHAN C. AVI'LETOK , a well known citizen of Massachusetts , spent some time in the United States of Colombia and took considerable pains to investigate DoLesseps' canal. Ho is therefore in position to reply to the many conllicting reports which have come from that quarter. In an inter view at Washington , Mr. Aoploton answered that the immense work is well under way , and that Its completion at the time set by DeLcssops is an assured fact. Such positive statements of Mr. Appleton set at rest the silly rumors of certain parties who have circulated re ports in America for the purpose of in juring the great project. To the United States the Panama canal will bo of the greatest commercial benefit. Through this short cut the trade of our1 Atlantic ports and those of the Pacific will pass. We shall have at our.com- iniuid the traffic and exchange from Asia , Australia and the islands of ' the Pacific. Moreover , wo shall build up a crisscross commerce with the eastern and western coast of South Araericaand wo shall control the business of Cen tral America and the southern half of Mexico. The opportunity for trade with our neighbors will create a demand for shippers , and our languishing ship ping industry and steamship building will receive a sudden impetus. IT was Senator Farwell , of Illinois , who was instrumental in bringing the Chicago boodlors to justice. A year and a half ago ho satisfied himself that the county commissioners wore engaged in robbing Cook county of enormous sums by fraudulent contracts and pur chases. Ho proposed to a prominent editor the task of exposing the rascals and guaranteed $10,000 for the prosecu tion of them. As the gigantic conspir acy came out , in spite of the hard fight made by the ring , Mr. Fnnvoll raised $100,000 for the purpose of convicting the principals , und has had the satisfac tion of sending seven of them to the peni tentiary. The work of breaking up the ring has boon done so thoroughly that it will bo n great many days before Chicago officials will forget the lesson. Senator Farwell is entitled to great credit in unearthing Twccdism. If the numerous cities of America could have such men ns Farwoll in their midst , ring-rule and bosbism in municipal gov ernment would soon bo a thing of the past. ANOTIIKU railroad project Is on foot backed by American capital to build a line across Mexico from Tucson in a southwesterly direction to the Pacific coast. The road is to bo 1,850 miles long and many Wall street operators nro said to be putting up the necessary millions. Tlio road has been incor porated under the name of the Mexican Pacific on a basis of $80,000,000 capitali zation. To the man up a tree it looks very much as if Mexico has become a fertile field for Wall htreot speculators who with glittering prospects are trap ping the unwary to sink their money in huirbraincd schemes.

During the last eight years I huvo been , n constant BUfTeror from catarrh , my nose would stop up so that I was compelled to breathe through my mouth.
