TITE tariff plank was pretty well

TIIEKH are two men in the senate

NOT three days ago a letter was sent
to the editor of the Philadelphia Jlecord
asking where employment could be se
cured for " 800 able-bodied Italians who
are willing to do any kind of labor at

showing for the high protection state
of Pennsylvania where 'labor must go n
begging for hard work at starvation
wages.

IT would not bo at all astonishing if
petroleum wore found in the Mackou/.io
valley in Canada. Recent explorations
in that slightly dovolo.pcd region have
confirmed the boliuf that vast mineral
deposits are there. The Canadian Pa
cific railroad will undoubtedly push
into that country ore longand the great
northwest will become as familiar to the
car as Manitoba or Vancouver.
IT looks after all as if General Sheri
dan might live to put the finishing
touches to his "Personal Memoirs. "
The work is practically finished and in
the printers' hands , but up to the mo
ment of his fatal illness General Sheri
dan continually revised it. There is no
doubt but that next to General Grant's
memoirs this military history will bo
the most valuable contribution of the
kind to our literature.
TliK latest statements from the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Quinoy were ibsuod
a foiV days ago which is n fair index of
the cost of the strike to that road , The
report shows a deorea&o of $500,000 ,
about 25 per cent , in gross comings ,
and a decrease of $760,000 , about 70 per
cent , in not earnings for the month of
April. From January 1 to April 3 the
not earnings of the Durliiigton for 1883
are $876,000 , For the corresponding ;
period of last your they wore $1,200,000
a loss of 88,391,000. If the Burlington
claims to hnvo won a victory at this
price , such another victory will bank
rupt the road.
THKRK is favorabla promise that the
i hill appropriating $1,500,000 fora federal -
oral building in Omaha will bo ap
proved by the conference committee ,
which will bo conclusive so far as congress -
gross is concerned. The bill will then
have to run the gauntlet of the presi
dent , and there is reason to fear that it
may not rccelvo his approval. Ho is not
showing any more willingness than
formerly to approve liberal expendi
tures for publio buildings , but the case
of Omaha is so much stronger than
most of these presented that Mr. Cleveland -
land may Hnd little dittlculty in con

A
The andnciousJiclion ot the cxocnUro.
committee In fixing August 23 ns Iho
titno for holding tliO republican stftlo
convention is only what WR3 to have
been exported * It Is simply In ftirthor-
nnco of the schemes conceived by Iho
railwny TOhnajrcrs , nnd in part nlremly
executed by their hirelings , to capture
the cnliro machinery ot Ihopnrlynnd
ngain plnco the etnio under railway
domination. Inspired with their suc
cess in controlling the congressional
conventions in the Second and Third
districts , they have iho brazen otTront-
cry to attempt another gnmo of snap
judgment on Iho poonlo , the result of
which will bo that every state officer
nominated must voar the brass collnt *
nnd c very legislator chosen bv the party
will bo n creature ot their choice.
To defeat prepared slates of railway
rings nnd obtain an expression ot the
people , it i necessary tlmt each voter
take part in the primaries. This the
captains ot the corporation brigades
know full well. And with the knowl
edge thai the primaries would bo cnllcd
at n time when Iho farmer ife busiest , in
Iho name ot the party they
thus make Ihclr raid. With two
congressmen already chosen nnd a
delegation to represent them at
Chicago , together with ft programme
cut and dried to elect nil of the stale
olllcers brought about by chicanery
and in defiance of general customs nnd
former usages in Nebraska , it behooves
the people to organize and to
act. This high-handed procedure
is an Insult to all tbc farmers
in the state. It moans that they will
have no representative in the legisla
ture ; that the railway commission to
decide between the people and the cor
porations , nnd the board of equaliza
tion to assess their property will
bo composed entirely of railway
men ; that laws will be enacted in de
fiance of the popular will , and that the
iron yoke of monopoly will bear still
heavier upon the producer.
The "republican parly can ill afford to
make mistakes this year. The bum ;
mcrs and strikers who will seek su
premacy cannot count on Iho outside
strength of a presidential nominee.
The voters of Nebraska , regardless of
the decisions ot packed conventions ,
will assort their rights. The presiden
tial ticket will save no local candidate.
Briefly , if the republican party ex
pects success in November , it must no
longer lie in the bed it lias boon com
pelled to make with the railway man
agers.
The Democratic Challenge.
The democratic national platform de
clares that it welcomes an exacting
scrutiny of the administration of the
executive power by Grovcr Cleveland ,
and challenges the most searching in
quiry concerning the fidelity and devo
tion of the parly to its pledges made four
years ago. The bombastic challenge
was unnecessary. The administration
of Mr. Cleveland has been under steady
scrutiny since it begun , and the expo
sure which is certain to bo made of its
mnny weaknessosandshortcomings dur
ing the national campaign will not fail
to keep the democratic intellect
very busy in finding cxolana-
tory reasons and defensive argu
ments. The party , also , will
receive full consideration with regard
to its pledges and the character of its
fidelity to them.
It must not bo forgotten that the ad
ministration which is now so raptur
ously extolled by the democratic party
was , during the first two years of its ex
istence , vigorously condemned by the
party from one end of the country to
the othor. While Mr. Cleveland was
listening to mugwump counsel and re
warding mugwump service there was no
denunciation too bitter for democrats to
apply to him. Ho was ignored by the
party loaders , to whom in turn ho de
clined to show any regard. Men who
had the courage boldly attacked him on
the floors of congress. No attention
was paid to his recommendations ,
nnd his opinions on public ques
tions wore made a subject of
ridicule. The majority of the demo
crats of his own state became strongly
embittered against him and made use
of every opportunity to manifest in the
most aggressive manner their dis
pleasure. The mention of his name
more frequently elicited hisses than
applause. Eijfhtcon months ago no
man conspicuous in the democratic
party had fewer friends thail Grover
Cleveland , and at that time he could not
have obtained a hundred delegates in a
national convention. The change that
has boon wrought since SB not difficult
to account for. One reason is the utter
poverty of the democracy in men avail
able as presidential candidates. Hill
was for a time a hope , and the
only hope of thosd who despised
Cleveland , but being a mcro dema
gogue ho could not hold the advantage
which ho'ouco clearly possessed. Had
Hill been equal to his opportunity it
may fairly bo doubted whether Cleveland -
land would have secured a ronomiim-
tion. Another reason is tlmt when
Cleveland became fully imbued with
the ambition to succeed himself ho lost
no time in pandering to that great ma-
joilty of the party which ho had deeply
offended by his undemocratic profes
sions of opposition to the spoils system ,
The civil service reform policy which
was to receive its highest development
under his administration was allowed
to full into neglect , Wherever it was
found not to bo congenial to democrats
no respect was paid to it , and very gen
erally throughout thocounlry federal of
fice holders , in open disregard ol exe
cutive mandate , wore active in eau-
cusses nnd conventions. Mr. Cleveland
hud the shrewdness to see that only this
was needed to bring the party to his
feet , and ho did not hositatn to adopt
the axpodlont , although to do to was to
stultify nil his lofty { professions and
pledges before and after ho entered the
presidency. It was successful , and Mr.
Cleveland is enjoying whatever gnitill-
oation ho can derive from a ronomina-
tion obtained by the almost completes
abandonment of the position in which
he paraded bofor.o the country four
years ago. Kvun the Civil Service Re
form league , which has been
patient with the president ,
uiostof its menibei-9 helped to elect
him , was compelled in candor to rok
ccnlly say ot Ino lalo policy In Iho
civil service Uini"Ttc7ir fUribntcd
only lo partisan pressure for wholly
Vartisnn objects , which the president
IHYS unfortunatfcly not resisted. "
The platform boasts ot the financial
policy of the administration , yet
throughout U has been conducted in
lines favorable lo Oio interests ot Wall
street. Mr. Cleveland xvcnl into the
presidency with a publicly proclaimed
hostility to silver , upon which the demo
cratic majority in Iho house pronounced
an unqualified condemnation , and his
first secretary ot the treasury adminis
tered the affairs of the department with
rcfercnoo under nil circumstances lo
Iho welfare of Wall street. The
present secretary under great pressure
has departed somewhat from the course
of his predecessor , but oven his policy
has not left out of consideration what
might bo most favorable to the eastern
money centers. It is not questionable
that if the administration could have
had ils way unchecked Iho financial sit
uation of the country would bo very dif
ferent from what il is , and very much
worse , so far as Iho currency is con-
corned. Silver , at least , would have
boon driven out altogether.
The conspicuous interest ot Iho presi
dent in southern statesmen with strong
confederate records will receive atten
tion , nnd particularly the illustration
given of it in the appointment to the
bench ot the supreme court of n man
who had no fitness for the office in pro
fessional experience or service , nnd
whoso selection was a defiant insult to
the loyal sentiment ot the country. In
respect of our foreign affairs , no admin
istration since the organization of the
government brought so much humilia
tion upon the country. The history of
our forcicn relations under Mr. Cleveland -
land is an almost unbroken story of
stupid blundering and degrading con
cession. Stress is laid upon the course
of the administratjonjn restoring lauds
to the public domain , but well doing in
this direction did not last , and the offi
cials who wore most active nnd zealous hi
promoting this policy were punished
for their exertions by being driven
from their places , unquestionably to
satisfy the demand of the land-grant
corporations.
It will thus be Been that the adminis
tration has a history which strongly in
vites scrutiny and inquiry , and in which
enough can bo found to command the
interest and reflection of the people
during the five months' campaign. It
will bo laid bare ns never was the his
tory of an administration before , and
wo venture to think there are some
parts of it the exposure of which will
not be welcomed by the democrats.
THKUK is no reason why Texas cattle
should not be shipped lo the South
Omaha stock yards. The quarantine
regulations against Texas cattle have
outlived their usefulness. These slate
regulations have virtually given
Chicago and Kansas City the monopoly
of the Texas business to the detriment
of our interests ? The commissioners of
the Nebraska Live Stock association
arc now seeing the mistake , aud. are
anxious to re-establish the shipment of
Texas cattle to our market. All that is
necessary for a revival of the business
is a modification of our stale quarantine
laws. With a little encouragement , the
Texas shipments to Omaha can bo won
derfully stimulated. By the comple
tion of the Denver & Fort Worth road ,
there is now an all rail connection be
tween the Texas ranges and Omaha.
Cattle can bo shipped from
Texas to our stock yards within
less than a week. Three years ago
the cattle were driven from Texas to
Ogalalla and from there transported to
Omaha. All this is done away with
now. There will bo n great saving in
time , in expense and in shrinkage by
sending the Texas herds to Omaha by
rail. The ready market which South
Omaha offers , and its nearness to the
ranges will still further advance the
little giant as a , distributing center.
For that reason South Omaha is moro
preferable than Chicago or KansasQily.
In all probability , within a very short
timo. the former oily will absorb the
bulk of the trade which has been turned
away from it by the quarantine regula
tions. Exertions , therefore , should bo
put forth by our 1 ooal sloclcyurds com
pany to make Iho shipment of Texas
cattle hero as attractive and profitable
as possible.

citi/.ons from Atlanta , Ga. , whoso visit

them bnck and to hoar from their lips
the wonderful stories of the great west.
Omaha came in for a good shnro of
Ihoir praiso. The delegation was es
pecially pleased with the hospitality of
our olty ns extended by the board of
trade. They wore impressed that "one
firm was doing a thriving business hero.
It was represented by the initials C. , B.
and P. , nnd the firm was Cash. Brains
and Pluuk. " It is a matter of satisfac
tion lo our cili/.oiis that in the eyes of
these bouthorn gontlomoq Omaha was
the equal of any city they vibitcd. It is
a compliment to our energy and to our
business abilities that wo have caught
the spirit of the ago and grapple with
the live commercial questions of the
hour.

A genuine minlalerial crisis has arisen In
Prussia , the first withia the memory of men
not yet past middle life , nnd It affords the
strongest proof yet given that the change
which has come about In Prussia and Ger
many is real and radical. This crisis differs
in its nature and la its probable outcome
Troin the crises which were not Infrequent
incidents of the reign of William ; The Emperor -
poror Frederick has rebuked Puttkamcr , the
vlco president of the council ot ministers and
minister ol the Interior , for an abuse of the
government power in elections , something
like the "offensive partisanship" occasionally
exhibited in this republic , and refuses to pro
mulgate the law extending from three to five
years the legislative period unless his letter
to Puttknmer bo Attibllshcd with Iho law.
The ministers rcsolvdjd to resign. The pres
ent emperor's fathcflrarely had nny trouble
With his miji'islcrj. Under the
lend of Bismarck- they were suftie-
icntly pervaded with the spirit of
reaction and absolutism to make them ready
to concede everything to the imperial do-
nmnd. And when difficulties nroso with the
deputies In Uio kingdom or the empire the
"crisis" was commonly cndett in a summary
fashion by dissolution. The present Prus
sian crisis is a healthy sign for the German
people , and it will give now courage to the
progressists , nnd to all liberal-minded Ger-
mans.-though there is reason to fear that the
excitement incidcnt lo the affair may have
grave rosulls for tlio omporor.

The complete failure of General Boulangor

None of the others , Julius Cesar , Cromwell ,

of a discontent which is stronger In the coun

scorns quite able to explain further limn that
the low price of cultlo and tbo failure of the

A slight speck of war looms tip over an
Island In the English channel , which Is so
sniull unit insignificant that even Uio gazet

Mistloloo has visited tlio spot , and warned Iho
French that they must quit Mnitre Isle , over
which they have raised the tricolor. The
French claim tlio Island , but England says
that it belongs to her. It would bo rather
strange if the war , toward the possibility of
which Sir Charles Dilko has recently been
directing the ntlonllon of the English , nnd in
which Kusshi and i'ranco were to form a
co.illtlon against Great Britain , should break
out because the tricolor has been displayed

to enumerate them. Huthnvo wo reached the

McCoy or hia associates do not inako claims to

Bclcntlllo method of treating catarrh they have
cured nnd do euro catarrh , as well a * bronchial
