this company in the richness and prox
imity of the ores places it in a position
to compote with the eastern stool mo

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.

What a National Democratic Delegate
HusjtA lay.
Hon. Thomas H. 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. " " J
"What 1ms become of the ; Rnndnll nud Wal

"THE PAT1IK1NDEU. "
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. Ho will go thotico to St. Louis and
thcneo to Chicago , where ho will bo met by
the Nebraska republicans aud become the
guest of the Nebraska republicans during
the republican convention.
MAKING AnilAXOKMKXTS.
General John C. Fremont having accepted
the invitation to bo the guest of the Nebraska
republicans at the Chicago convention , the
Joint committee began last night to lay plans
to give tlio "Pathfinder" such a reception as
will belli the historic character that ho Is und
at the same time reilect credit upon the stale
nnd its dominant party. A committee will bo
appointed to meet General Fremont nt St.
Louis nnd escort him to Chicago. While
in thnt city ho will bo attended by a body
guard of Nebraskans , who will try to antici
pate his every wish. During tlio convention ,
probably immediately after the temporary
organization , the first presidential candidate
of 'tho republican party will bo introduced to
the assemblage. Charles Green in mentioned
ns the gentleman likely to muko the presenta
tion speech. It is proposed ut some convenient
tlmo during the session of the convention to
organize a street parade in honor of the
"Pathfinder , " in which the republicans from
ull sections will bo invited to participate.
THE SILENT SCHOOL.
Closing ExcrulHes ut tlio Institute for
Donl'aiKlDtiiuh.
The close of the nineteenth year of the > iO-
braskn institute for the deaf and dumb was
appiopriatoly celebrated yesterday afternoon
at Its beautiful quarters beyond Walnut Hill.
The exorcises wuro of exceeding interest und
shows the astonishing strides made iu the
education of this poor class of unfortunates
in late years. A largo number of spectators
were present , among them some of the load
ing citi/eiis of Omaha , and they showed their
wonder and delight from time to time by
hearty applauso. The 1m ) 1 In which the ex
ercises were hold was very prettily decorated
In honor of the occasion. Tlio iichalais num-
beiod about one hundred , one of thorn L. Di
vine , graduating this year.
The Intelligence of the pupils and the skill
they have attained in the various depart
ments was tt uly astonishing. Not only have
they become proficient in drawing , engrav
ing und the ordinary studies taught In thu
schools , but borne liavo achieved wonderful
proficiency in uiulci standing vocal speech by
watching thu motion of the lips of the
speaker nnd expressing themselves by
spoken words as wall as by the sign lan
guage.
After the opening exercises n comlo panto
mime was presented by William Marsh and
Chris Jensen , iu winch was portrayed the
laughable story of u ( juacic doctor and his
wonderful medicine. School exorcise by the
primary class Mellowed , in which Star Mar
shall. Lulu Gould , Kittlo Peterson , Fritz
Dumka and Fred Hruza took part.
The uoxt was an illustrated poem on the
blackboard , in which great skill In drawIng -
Ing was.shown by Chris Jensen , Urid'et (
Cody , John Toner , John Hnuman , Mumlu
Rued und Mulimo Hall , The advanced class ,
consisting of Ida Kerr , Will King , Alfred
Wuugu and Pinknoy Sheet/ , next took their
place ut the blackboard and answered some
very difficult questions propounded to them
from the elementary branches.
The next exorcise , rendered by nine pretty
girls , was ono of the most affecting pre
sented , it was the song "Shall Wo Meet
Beyond the River , " rendered in the mgu
language. An organ was played ut thu same
tlmr uud a numbei1 of singers rendered the
beautiful ftouy , but iu sound wu * lost on the
deaf mutes. With Prof. Gillosplo us leader
tad mutes rendered the song in their panto.
mine language with perfect tlmo nnd grnco
of gesture. It was a pretty and'touching
Biltllt.
The graduating cs tiy , "Illstory of tlio
Deaf In America , " was read by L. Divine , nn
Intelligent young man of about nineteen. The
composition was ably written nnd although
perfectly deaf , ho spoke with nn cnso nnd
distinctness that was astonishing. Young
Divine enters college next fall.
The exercises by the primary oral class ,
deaf children who are taught to understand
vocal speech by the motion of the speaker's
lips , nnd also reply by sjiokpn words , next
followed. Tlio members of the class were
Mnmlmo Hall , Ucrtlm Freeman , Mnmlo
Reed , Pearl Parker , John Toner nnd Jolm
Bnumnn. This exorcise concluded with a
comic speech by Pearl Barker.
The exercises of the aural class , deaf per
sons who Imvo been taught to distinguish
sounds sufllclontly to bo classed as persons
Imrd of hearing. Tills class is In chnrgo of
Mr. Taylor , nnd astonishing results liavo
been attained by his training. The members
of this class wore Ella Roam. Kiln Cornish ,
Nettie Davis , Ullm Toner , Olio Crawford ,
Laura Gard , Henry Porter , Jolm McCart
ney. Lydlu Hngedorn and Mary Loach. The
proficiency attained by Olio Crawford ns a
lip-reader is n source of wonder , oven to her
teachers. On being placed on ono side of a
person talking she can toll perfectly what hoer
or She is saying.
The drawing of cartoons by James nnd
Ida Bnggs shows artistic skill well worth
cultivating.
After another pantomime song nnd repre
sentation of the "Minister's Trousers , "
Pi of. Glllesplo culled upon Mayor Broatch
to say a few words. Prof. Glllesplo stood ns
Interpreter , and nt the close the deaf and
dumb audience warmly applauded.

SIIIXX SHINES.
He Jumps a Donrd mil and Leaves
Ills Ijinly.
Several months ngo a man came to Omaha
from parts unknown , and gave his nnuio as
Wilbur Shinn. With him came a woman ,
supposably his wife. They engaged board
with Charles Rowlands , at 1:113 : South Thir
teenth street. Matters ran along smoothly
until u board bill of $30 had accummulutcd ,
when Shiun shinned out for parts unknown
ngalu. Ho said he had been iu the employ of
Colonel Eddy , but investigation proved that
story false. It was learned , however , that
he had been employed with the Chicago , St.
Paul , Milwaukee and Omaha railway , and
Nowland found § ! . " > to his credit on wages.
The amount was promptly garnished , nnd
search was in progress lust night for the
missing num.
About the time of tlio disappearance of
Shinn , another boarder of Nowlnnd's "was
robbed of ? 40. His room was entered , a
trunk broken open and the money abstracted.
There is no evidence that Shinn committed
the robbery , but the circumstances naturally
direct suspicion towards him.

iu toi wilts about midnight last night. Bar
rels nud boxes flouted promiscously about
the streets , awnings were rent , signs torn
from their fastenings , bill boards and fences
laid low nnd simdo trees woio badly duin-
acod. The Republican building , which has
a habit of tottoi ing nnd quivering at every
wind storm , rocked and shook in a manner
which prompted the printers , editors und ro-
poi tcrs to uiakn a hasty runh Into the street.
GueBts ut the Cuntlcld house were badly
scared , and a number loft their beds in a
liuiry and sought shelter oisawhcro.
