AN unusual amount of American rail road bonds have boon sold at London duriugrtho past few weeks. Two ru.il- rouds , the Reading and Baltimore & Ohio , borrowed in the aggregate over 8-10,000,000. Besides this , a largo quan tity of railroad bonds was sold in open market. This vast movement of gold to America must of necessity find its way in commercial transactions and stimulate all branches of business. TliK announcement that Judge Thomas M. Cooloyof the interstate com- mis.sioiiprswill epeak at the Chautauqua assombfy at Crete , Nob. , on July 3 , will insure iv largo attendance. The man agers of that enterprise are to bo con gratulated in securing Judge Cooloy's services. This eminent jurist commands to a high degree the respect of the country , and no man deserves a more careful hearing. With such representa tive speakers the Crete Chautauqua will soon become a rival of the mother as sembly. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ great Pennsylvania steel barons are liable to find a rival in the business of stool making from an unexpected quarter. A company with a capital of live million dollars has just boon formed in the northwcbt corner of the United States near Seattle , Washington terri tory , for tlio purpose of working the rich iron ores of the Cascade mountains. The natural advantages possessed by this company in the richness and prox imity of the ores places it in a position to compote with the eastern stool mo nopoly. This it ) the first attempt at Btool making from the raw material on the Pacific coast , and the industry is destined to become of great value to the west. Viaonous efforts are being made by the authorities of Minnesota to avert the danger of n grabshopper scourge. Millions of the posts are being hutched out in ono of the northern counties of the Btato and arc almost largo enough to do incalculable dumago. Governor McGill is to bo commended for his promptness in dispatching to the field of action coal tar , coal tin , shoot iron and muslin , out of which is to bo built the engines of war. It is to bo hoped that the warlike campaign will bo short , sharp and decisive , and that the gover nor of the stuto will bo crowned with woll-dcsorvod Inurols us the victor over an insidious enemy more devastating than the Indians. . A JlOltK pathetic Interest will bo given to the illness of General Sheri dan by the death of his venerable mother , which occurred nt her homo in Somerset , Ohio , yes terday. Mrs , Sheridan had reached the advanced ago of eighty- eight years and nanrly tno whole of hot lifo was passed in the homo where she died and where her distinguished son was born. She was u luobl worthy woman nud an excellent mother , and there is gratification in the rotloctlon that she lived to BOO her distinguished eon rouoli the highest military honor his country could bestow. General Sheridan was devotedly attached to hh mother und there is reason to fear that If ho IB allowed to hour of her death in his present condition the eflqitt upon him may be vry serious. No Won ! Par The Soldiers The democratic platform contains not a single word recognizing the valor and sacrifices of the men who preserved the union , or pledging to those who survive and to their descendants the support of Lho democratic party4o the beneficent | ) olicy of reward instituted and main tained by the republican party. It goes no farther than to assert the claim that the democratic administration "has [ > aid out more for pensions and bounties to the soldiers and sailors of the repub lic than was overpaid before during an equal period , " n fairt. not in the least do- grco to the credit of the democracy , since every dollar thus paid was in pursuance of legislation of republican origin. Every intolll- Sent man in the country knows this , and among all the pretenses and pre sumptuous claims of the democratic platform there is none more impudent and absurd than the assumption that the party is entitled to any credit for the disbursements on account of pen sions and bounties. The controlling element of the party in congress , the world knows , has opposed pension legis lation when It dared and grudgingly given support only from considerations ol policy , while the president has boon in accord with this fouling and lias lost no opportunity to strengthen it. The platform was framed in Wash ington , in , largo part , it is be lieved , by the hand of Mr. Cleveland , and it was adopted with little , if any , alteration. The chief representative of the administra tion at St. Louis , " Congressman Scott , is quoted as Baying that ha carried it to the convention and that it went through without a single change. The omission of any acknowledgment of the services of the defenders of the union , and of any assurunco of democratic concern for their future , must therefore bo re garded as having the approval of the president. It is certainly consistent with his course respecting the soldiers , and it could not fail to bo acceptable to the dominant element in the party , a conspicuous member of which was chair man of the committee on resolutions. This omission is virtually a notifica tion to the union soldiers of the coun try that the democratic party will not in the impending- campaign expect or sock their support , and that if they give it , it must bo with the under standing that no right shall accrue to demand consideration of the party in the event of its success. It is to all in tents and purposes a rejection of the claims of the soldiers to that recognition of their services to the nation which all parties huvo hitherto freely extended , and an abandonment of all guarantees , so fur as the democratic party is con cerned , of a continuance of the benefi cent policy of the government toward those who preserved it and their de scendants. It means that the dominant clement of the democracy is no longer willing to patiently tolerate the claims of these men upon the bounty of the government , and that the party is ready for a departure in disregarding the o claims in the future. The union soldiers will not fail to take note of this most significant omission of the democratic party , nor will they fail to fix the responsibility for it where it belongs. And unless they have ceased to bo true to themselves and to the de scendants of their patriotic comrades , democracy will learn in November that it has made another fatal blunder. llr > Will l cur Watching. Two reports from different quarters state that Mr. Dopow has decided not to enter the race as a presidential candi date. One of those , emanating from Chicago , is to the effect that Dopow had written n letter to an intimate friend in that city in which lie said that ho had become satisfied that ho was not an available candidate by reason of the op position to him developed in the west. What purports to bo the substance of the letter says that while Depow bo- liovcs ho could curry New York , ho has concluded that his record as a railroad president and corporation lawyer might cost some northwestern electoral votes. It in so improbable that Dopow would make an admission of this sort , at this time , however strongly ho might fool it , that there is good reason to doubt the authenticity of the report. Mr. Depow may finally determine not to allow his niuno to go before the convention. There will cer tainly bo evidence enough presented at Chicago to convince him. if lie bo made of penetrable stuff , that ho is not an available candidate. But ho may bo expected to await the presentation of this evidence before ho withdraws. There cannot bo a question regarding his ambition iu this muttor. Ho has been for yours looking forward to the opportunity which now scorns to offer , aud lie will not abandon it un less driven to do BO. There will 1)0 no voluntary sur render on his part for the good of the party. The other report that Mr. Dopow is out of the field comes from Washing ton , anU credits Mr. Dorsoy of Nebraska and Mr. Burroughs of Michigan with having , convinced the friends of the president of the Now York Central that it would bo suicidal for the republican party to nominate him. If those gentlemen - tlomon huvo accomplished this they huvo done u very great borvico to the party , for which no commendation would bo greater than they deserve. But for the reasons already given wo are not disposed to give unquestioning - questioning credence to the re port that those representatives liuvo been ublo to induce Dopow to relinquish the op portunity which he has boon waiting for and believe * has come. But whether Dopew has already de cided to drop out of the race or shall do so lutor , ho will still bear watching. His power for misuhinf will not huvo coaled whun ho bhall huvo become no longer u possible candidate. Ho will in all probability dominate the seventy-two voted of Now York ut Chicago , und it is not to bo doubted that ho will muke use of thin power in behalf of candidates who will prom ise most , or from whom moat could be expected , for thij Interests lie roproi sonts. .Tho defeat-of the ffiTort of the. .corporations to make him. the cundidutu of the party may bo expected to intensi fy the antagonism of tlds influence in the convention to any man the cor porations regard ns being hostile to Lhoin , and it Is not questionable that Mr. Dopow will bo fountl n willing in strument to put in offcct this spirit. In every respect the relations in which the president of the Now York Central stands at this juncture to the republi can party must bo regarded ns unfor tunate. " * Axoniuii petition from Nebraska has been presented to congress asking the passage of thoOuthwn'ito bill , which proposes to give the Union Pacific fifty years longer in which to pay its indebt edness to the government , with other provisions favorable to that corpora tion. This last petition emanates from the board of trade of ITatrbui'y , but whether it represents the full member ship of that organization , or a proportion tion relatively no greater than that which in the nnmo of the Omaha board approved the Outhwaito bill , does not appear. In any ovcnt the question is pertinent whether the Fairbury endorsers of the bill have more than a superficial knowledge of its character , and whether they have "not allowed themselves to bo drawn Into an approval of it by influences which it is evident nro being industriously broug lit to boar in Nebraska and olaowhoro. The repre sentatives of the Union Pacific have been very zealous at Washington in behalf - half of this measure , and there is very good reason to believe that they have not boon idle in other quarters where an expression of favorable opinion might bo of service. Before there is any further expression of approval from Ne braska for the Outhwaito bill it is to bo hoped those invited to make it will take the trouble to make a careful study of the provisions of that measure , and seri ously ask themselves whether It is a sort of legislation that is likely to bo con ducive to the interests and welfare of the producers of this stuto. TUB Union Pacific has filed articles of incorporation for the building of four branch lines. The capital is 37- 500,000. What is of interest to the people ple of Nobrabka about this bit of news is that all thcso feeders are to bo built in Colorado. When it is remembered that President Adams distinctly stated that the Union Pacific managers would economize and build no more railroad extensions this year , it is natural to suppose from the above facts that he re ferred only tp the state of Nebraska. This is the way the Union Pacific is continually hoodwinking the pcoplo of this state. When a Union Pacific depot at Omaha , and a thousand and ono improvements through Ne braska are asked for , the Union Pacific officials are very sorry that they can not accommodate our pco plo BO long as a government debt of ' $78,000,000 is duo 'in 1897. Aud the people ple of Nobra&ka , like the foolish gecso in the fnblo , swallow the assurances and are almost willing to bear the burdens of the Outhwuite bill. They nro asked to saddle upon their necks a mountain of debt in order that the Union Pacific may bleed the &tuto for years to come , and honeycomb the west from Colorado to tho'Pacific ocean with railroads built out of money wrung from the producers of Nebraska. A MOVEMENT is on foot among the merchants of Texas to induce congress to muko such appropriations as will insure - sure the creation of a deep water har bor on the coast of Texas. For tliis pur pose a convention is culled to take place at Denver in July. The business men of Colorado , Nebraska and other west ern , states and territories are invited to co-operate with Texas in securing government - ernmont aid. Undoubtedly a petition from a.convention representing the com mercial interests of the west would go a long way toward Influencing' congress to take proper stops in the project. Texas has no harbors to-day which uro easy of access or deep enough to ac commodate largo ocean steamers. It is felt that with a suitable deep water port of entry , the European shipments of cattle and grain from the west , now sent via the great lakes and railroads to the eastern seaboard , would bo di rected to this Texas route. Moreover , a good harbor in Texas would stimulate a closer trade with Mexico , Central and South America. The advantages of a deep water harbor in Texas to the state and to the west are manifold. Bub there are many difficulties in the way of u realization of such a scheme. TIIK combination * of .electoral votes made to show the chances for electing a president offer interesting reading. There nro 401 votes in the electoral college - logo , and 201 uro necessary to elect a profiidont. The republicans , relying on the eighteen states carried in 1831 for Blaine , must in addition curry two out of those thrco doubtful slutos , Indiana , Now Jersey , and , Connecticut , ono of which must bo Indiana. The democrats , with the solid south secure , must , bobidos , curry the following combinations : Hither Now York and Indiunu , or Now York , Now Jersey and Connecticut. It is apparent that Indiana , is a vital necessity to cither party , und it is therefore moro thnn likely that ono of the republican candidates will bo a "son" of the Hoosier state. MAJOU SUTUII will now have some thing to point to when ho talks about navagntion on the Missouri being im peded by the bridges ut Omaha , Now that a steamboat 1ms boon wrecked ho will dnnco a jig and jubilantly point to the terrible embargo on rlvor trulllo. Even though the record shows but ono steamboat up and down the rlvor for the post two years it is enough to give Major Sutor a club to strike against 'Nebraska bridge improvements.

Orcevy , of Altoona , Pa. , arrived yesterday from St. Louis where tie had been as a dologatii'to 'tlio national con vention from the Twentieth district of Penn sylvania. Mr. Grcov $ came on to visit his' younger brother. M.'J. Grpevy , of this city who is transfer passenger ngent of the Mis souri PacillQ , railroad. Mr. Greovy is n meruUcB of. Blair county bar nnd ox-city recorder of Altoona. Ho was n delegate to the state" convention held in Harrlsburg , Pennsylvania , on May 23 last. He has been a dolcgato to numerous state conventions nnd is prominently known in Pennsylvania democratic politics. Mr. Grccvy was seen at his brother's residence No. 1330 Virginia avenue , and in reply to n question bearing upon his delegation in the convention said : "Tho vote of Pennsylvania was cast solid for Thurmnn in the conven tion but on an informal vote in the delega tion , C. G. Murphy , of the Seventeenth dis trict , nnd myself voted for Gray. Stevenson received seven or eight votes nnd Black two. Congressman W. L. Scott nmdo n strung appeal to our delegation in bcluilf of Thur- man , nnd to his influence alone may Thur- man's solid vote from Pennsylvania bo cred ited. I voted for Gray because I believed him n better and moro practical politician than Thurmnn and lived in u pivitol state. When I say closer to the people I do not mean that Thurman is not close to the people ple , for ho is. But nfter u man has kept out of active politics , us Thurman has. for a num ber of years , ho loses his personal following to n largo extent and falls in behind other leaders. Governor Oriy is in nctivo politics Just now , with n large personal following at his back , nnd ills nomination would have , in my opinion , absolutely anchored the Indiana democrats this fall. " "Did Congressman \V. L. Scott , of Penn sylvanui , have much to do in shaping the re sults of the convention ! " "Mr. Scott was the silent power behind the throne , and absolutely controlled the conven tion In nil its details. " "Do I understand you to say that Con gressman Scott had Henry Wattcrson made chairman of the committee ou resolutions nlsol" "No , sir ; ho had no hand In thosoloctlon'of Wnttorson ns chairman of the committee on resolutions , nor did bo droiim that Wattcr son could control enough votes to elect him self , else ho would have prevented it. Gor man was Scott's choice by necessity , and Wnttcrson beat him Just two votes. It was 20 to 33,1 beliovo. Scott did not go on the committee on resolutions from Pcnsylvanla , and when ho hc.ird of Watterson's election ho was mod. Wattorson had a platform In his pocket , and Scott had ono also which ho brought on from Washington with him. When ho heard of Watterson's election his friends determined that ho must BO on the committee- resolutions , wliibh lie aid the next day with the change of a couple of words only. " "Will Mr. Scott bo n candidate for chair man of the national committee ! " "I am satislled that Mr. Scott Is not a can- dldato for national chairman , and tnat nothing short of porno extraordinary political necessity would induce him to be come a candidate.

" General Jolm O. Fremont Pays a Visit to Oinnhn. On tlio register of the Paxton hotel np- poara the following Inscription In plain , firm handwriting , "Jno. C. Fremont , Los Ange les. " The general was found in his room writing letters , but nt once broke oft nnd entered Into unlimited conversation with n representative of THE Hr.i : . "I confess I am astonished nt the marvel lous growth of your city , " said tlio general , "I have boon out riding with Judge Snvago , who , you romrmbor , was a colonel on my staff during the war , and I could hardly realize the change that has tukon nlnco In Omaha siuco I was here last- about eight years ngo. " During the interesting talk which followed , the general stated that no llrst saw the spot on which Omaha is now located Just fifty years ago. In 1S38 ho passed up the river ou a steamboat on ono of bis famous explora tions. Asked about his family , the general responded , "Mrs. Fremont Is In excellent health. Ono of our sous , an army ofilccr , is stationed in the cast and the other , a naval ofllccr , is ou the coast. " Turning from those matters to politics the general recalled his experience ns the first candidate of the republican party lor the presidency. It was a battle for frco soil aud free press at that time , and n move ment to mnko the declaration of indepen dence n reality in every section of this country. "Tho republican party has carried out thnt mission , " said the general , "and if it Is wise it will now toke advanced ground on tlio labor and in dustrial Issue. American workiugmcn nro intelligent and will soon become tha governing power In the land. The party that recognizes this fact nnd acts upon it will achieve supremacy. " Tno general did not express preference as to presidential candidates , but thought the position of TUB Bui : on Depow's candidacy was timely. Ho bears his soventy-flvo years better thnn most men of that ngo , looking not moro than sixty , nnd still retains his soldierly bearing. Last evening , when the knowledge of the general's presence in the city reached the people of the city , n number of them called at the Paxton to greet him. Among thcso were a number of the republicans of the city as also of the Young Men's Republican club. Both of these delegations were received by General Fremont in the parlor of the hotel , where Mr. R. W. Breckenridgc , iu behalf of the club , invited the general to become - como the guest of the club nnd the republicans from Nebraska iu nt- tendnnco upon the republican convention at Chicago. The invitation was graciously accepted. The general said ho was on his way to St. Louis , and after ho had made u visit there he would bo pleased to accept tlio hospitality and appreciate the kindness which the republicans Of Nebraska had shown him. The general exchanged kindly words of greeting with a number of the eenUemcn present , some of whoso fathers had voted for him when ho was a candidate for president and from whom they had derived a number of incidents of the gentleman's career. The most noticeable feature of the recep tion , however , was the production by E. Rosew.ntcr , editor of TUB BKE , of a badge of blue satin , as fresh in color and texture ns if H had been laid away but yesterday , which in 1S50 did duty as a campaign symbol of the republican nominees , Fremont and Dayton , the lirst nominees of the party. Above the names floated an American Hag in the folds of which wcro the words , "Fremont and Freedom. " Beneath were the names of the candidates "JohuC. Fremont , of California" ; ' William L. Dayton , Now Jersey. " Be sides , the badge contains n vignette of General Frcmout , who appears as a man in the vigor of life with a full head of dark hair and heavy chin whiskers of the same color. The present appearance of the general contrasts with that of the vignette of thirty- two years ago , but then the old man is well piesorved beyond liis years. The badge was eagerly viewed by everybody present and pronounced by many as one of the most valuable" political souvenirs they had ever seen. General Fremont will remain in Omaha to day.
