THE reports'from ' the money centers
of the country for the week uro oncour-
ugiug. Money was easy and deposits
on banker's bonds were increasing.
The effect of the death of the emperor
of Germany and the accession of Will
iam II. caused it slight downward ton-

mercial lines might have boon expected
for this time of the year.
TIIIJHK are two , and possibly three
railroads , pushing tliulr way from
Minnesota into Omaha. They nro the
Duluth , St. Paul & Omaha , the AVinona
& Southwestern , and the western oxton-
elon of the Lockuwnnim system. The
purpose of these railroads is to divert
the shipment of our corn and packing
product from Chicago to Duluth and
Ptliur lake cities. There are indica
tions showing that Chicago is already
ulurmod at this move , Tlio probabili
ties are that in u faw yours Duluth will
bccorao a powerful rival of Chicago ,
controlling tlio shipmouts of wheat ,
, ) umber and flour of the northwest via
* . - . the lakes to the eastern seaboard and
to Europe. The advantages possessed
*
* by Duluth , situated at the head of Lake
Superior , mukos that city the natural
outlet for tha products of Minnesota ,
Wisconsin , Dakota and Manitoba.
Moreover , by reaching out through
Iowa to Omaha , Duluth will bo in a pos
ition to divert from Chicago the im
mense corn crops and our packing
house products , now shipped via Chi :
cage and the lakes to the east. That is
why tiiroo. railroad lluoo are straining
every nerve to bind Omuhu to. Dulutb.
The Chlcnjco Convention.
The political interest which for sov-
ornl days hns centered upon Chicngo
will bo intensified by the assembling of
the national republican convention to
day. In some respects this will bo the
most lmj ortant convention in the his
tory of the republican party since the
ono which in the same city , twenty-
eight years ago , nominated Abraham
Lincoln. The demand now is irCt loss
urgent than it was then for thonxorciso
of the highest wisdom and the most un-
solflsh patriotism on the part of the
representatives of the party In choosing
a standard bearer. The onejny to bo
overcome is entrenched in power , and
will bo entirely unscrupulous in using
every means at their command
to retain power. The vast
army of federal ofilco holders
will bo allowed the unchecked use of all
their influence in promoting there-
election of the democratic candidate ,
The millionaires who will have the
chief management of the democratic
campaign will sec to it that thnro is no
lack of the "sinews of war , " and there
will bo unsparing promises of reward to
those who work faithfully and efficiently
for democratic success. The plan of the
democracy is to fight nn aggressive bat
tle , and to keen it up with vigor to the
end. There is some disaffection , but
no effort will bo spared by the president
ind his political managers to bring the
"issatlsflod into line , and the proba
bility is that such efforts will
DO largely successful. At nil events , it
ivill not bo wise for the re-
l > ublican representatives at Chicago to
ivo great importance to rumored or
) osslblo dissensions in the ranks of the
pposition , or to the assumed power of
my man whoso name may bo presented
nor their consideration to draw votes
rom the democracy. The safer plan
ivlll IM to net upon the belief that No-
ember will find the democratic party
n its full strength , and in this view
make a choice of candidates who will
certainly command the full republican
trongth , with at least an even chance
of securing a majority of the indepen
dent vote and of that largo army of
voters who will in November cast their
first ballot in a national convention.
In the Hat of candidates who
will bo named to the conven
tion there arc men who would meet
thcso requirements men to whoso snu-
port all sincere republicans could rally
with enthusiasm and zeal , and whoso
record and character would attract
many thousands of now voters and these
who are not indissolubly wedded to any
party. The hope is strongin the masses
of the party that such a man will bo
selected , and the present aspect of the
situation is not discouraging to this
hope. It is true that the situation is
unsettled , that the following of each of
the several candidates IH very earnest
and zealous in pressing the claims of its
first choice , that tljore has been devel
oped some feeling not in the direction
of harmony , and that there are influ
ences at work % the pres
ence of which is to be re
gretted. But all this was to have boon
expected of a body of independent men ,
frdo to express their- choice among a
number of able and honorable repre
sentative republicans of nearly equal
claim to the confidence of the party.
The convention at Chicago will not bo
dominated , as was that at St. Louis , by
the will and authority of one man. It
will not ftsf-einblo merely to ratify a
cut-and-dricd programme arranged at
Washington or elsewhere. The repre
sentatives of the republican party at
Chicago are not mere puppets. Yet
while there are strong differences of
oninion now as to the merit and avail
ability of candidates , there is
reason for confidence that when
the convention gets down to its
work in earnest , and the real
strength of the several candidates has
boon formally ascertained , the spirit of
harmony will assort itself , and whoever
shall he shown to possess most of the
confidence of the parly in his ability to
achieve victory will be chosen. With
out attempting to disguise the fact that
there are men in the convention whoso
selfishness is much greater than their
patriotism ; granting that it would bo
better for the republican party if cer
tain elements \vere-not in the conven
tion , wo still believe that a majority of
that body will bo found ready to subor
dinate nil personal considerations and
all individual ambitions to the ques
tion of party success. There is
nothing objectionable in the ac
tivity and zeal which the
friends of the several candidates are
manlft'bting. It is desirable that the
records of the men whoso names will bo
presented to the convention shall bo
fully and fairly-unfolded and their points
of availability carefully considered.
What is to bo avoided is the creating of
antagonisms and factional feuds that
will result in introducing lasting dis
sension and disaffection in the ranks , of
the party. The majority of the rep
resentative republicans at Chicago , wo
believe , fully appreciate the supreme
importance of the task that Is before
them , and until circumstances compel a
loss optimistic view wo shall continue
hopeful of such n wise termination of
their labor as cannot fail to commend
itself to the hearty support of all true
republicans.
Want Treasury Ifulp.
It IB reported that certain Now York
democrats who expect to have the as-
elbtanco of iuiluontlal democrats in the
west , are very anxious to have the pol
icy of the treasury in the purchase ol
bonds changed. They think tv more
liberal policy would contribute very
much to the success of the party thie
fall , Their idea is understood to bo
that the treasury should fix a price a
little above rock-bottom at which he
would purchase bondu and offer to take
nil that oifercd at his price , in which
case it is believed ho could secure large
quantities and apcedily effect a con
siderable reduction in the surplus , II
this should be successful in stimulating
business the democratic party would ol
course get the prestige.
It must bo confessed that Secretary
Fairchild has made a rather sorry show'
ing in his effort to reduce the surplus
by the purchase' of bonds. Under UK
circular of lust , April only about twenty" '
two million'dollars luuo been paid oul
of the surplus on account of bond pur
chases , and this comprises the whole of
the reduction made in the interest-bear
ing debt of the nation alnco early last
fall. The present secretary of the
treasury , like his predecessor , has never
boon well disposed toward this way of
getting rid of the surplus. Both ho
and the president found an excuse for
not buying bonds in the professed belief
that they had no authority under exist
ing law to do so , and it was necessary
for congress to declare by reso
lution that they had ample
authority before an offer to buy bonds
was made. And oven then the policy
of the treasury was not such as to en
courage the sale of bonds. Porliapt ,
however , that was in the interest of the
government , since it is manifestly not
the duty of the treasury to bull the
market in bahalf of the bond-holders ,
even though it bo demonstrable that In
the end the government would bo some
what the gainer.
At all events , the present is not a
good time for the treasury to make a
change of policy In the direction of in
ducing bondholders to sell their bonds
by offering a better price , however
small the difference , than can bo ob
tained in the open market , The domo-
ratic administration cannot afford ,
o listen to a proposition of
, his kind , in whatever plaus-
blo form presented. The people
ivould have no difficulty in understand *
ng the prime purpose of such a change ,
ind they would not bo slow to condemn
t. Had not the administration desired
\ii accumulating surplus , as something
iut of which to make campaign argu
ment , there is not a doubt that the sur
plus would now bo less than it is by
many millions. But having made no
xdequato effort to keep it down , if the
idmlnistration shall discover that a
real mistake was made , it'cannot hope
o rectify it by recourse to a policy that
would virtually condemn its past courbc.
laving consistently and persistently
played into the hands of the eastern
nonoy centers , it must take the respon
sibility of its conduct.
THE Bell Telephone company has
bitten off moro than it can chow in its
controversy with Mayor Francis of St.
Louis. A recent ordinance in that city
fixes the maximum annual rental for
olephonos at $50. The company re
fused to accept these terms , and began
removing telephones from the houses of
subscribers where contracts had ex
pired. This was a bluff game , intended
to scare the city lost all telephone ser
vice should bo abolished. But Mayor
Francis was equal to the occasion. He
ordered the commissioner of public
works to take down the poles and wires ,
on the ground that the Boll company
had by removing its telephones relin
quished its business. The Bell com
pany in consequence has como down
'from its high horse and is trying to
patch up a compromise. The firm stand
taken by Mayor Francis took the telephone -
phone company entirely by surprise ,
and has taught it a lesson which will
not be forgotten in many a day.
IN a closo. uncertain contest for the
(
nomination , such as the present "ro'pub-
lican convention proves to bo , it is a
difficult mutter to name the ballot
which will decide the choice of the
party. The first ballot in the conven
tion of 1838 will in all probability loud
off with at least five favorites Allison ,
Algor , Grcsham , Sherman , Harrison ,
and n string of six or seven "short
horses. " In 1884 there were eight
leading candidates who polled votes on
the first ballot for the presidency
namely , Blaine , Arthur , Edmunds ,
Logan , Sherman. Hawley , Lincoln and
General Sherman. In 1880 , six favorites
Grant , Blaine , Sherman , Edmunds ,
Wnshburno und Windom were named ,
but none of them obtained the necessary
number of votes. Gnrfiold , who was
finally nominated , did not got a vote on
the first ballot. At the Cincinnati
convention in 1870 , Blaine , Morton of
Indiana , Bristow , Colliding , ' Hayes ,
Jewell and Hurtrnnft were voted for ,
but Hayes , a "short hor.so , " captured the
prize. Will the convention of 18S8
emulate the action of 1870 and IBSO ?
IT may bo well for the eastern capital
ists and newspapers , who are decrying
the Iowa railroad commission bccauso
of its reduction of local rules , to remem
ber that for the last dozen years thin
commission 1ms treated them fairly. It
has proven itself impartial and fearless ,
on many occasions protecting the rail
roads ogninbt popular clamor. ABU care
ful , deliberate body , the state railroad
commission has won for itself the confi
dence of the people of Iowa. It was not
until lifter a fnir and cnroful considera
tion of the local tariff sheet that the
commission recommended the reduc
tion. The railroads can not but recog-
ni-/.o the justness of , the demands , and
they would win the good will of the
state by conforming to the now regula
tions.
THE Burlington & Northern n few
days ago made a four-dollar ruto from
St. Paul to Chicago , but now denies It.
All the rest of the roads are selling at
tlio ten-dollar rate , as agreed upon.
The crawfishing action of the Burling
ton & Northern is apt to got that rail
road into trottblo. It had no right to
go back to n ton-dollar rate after its cut
without giving ton days' notice , as re
quired by the tutor-slate commerce
law. It is getting inoro and. moro ap
parent that the railroads of the north
west uro playing fast and loose with the
inter-stale law. They should bo brought
to terms by the intor-stuto'cornmibsion-
ors before Iho law becomes a laughing
stock.
LAST week was on eventful ono in the

TOOK OM ) KANSAS CITY' . GST
Blio Is Unable to Hold n Bncnger or n
Turn-Fcst ,
At the last turn-fcst of the Missouri Valley
Turn-uczlrk , it was decided to hold the turn-
fost for 1SS3 In Kansas City. That city had
asked for it and although the Omnlia turners
would have been pleased to secure It for this
city , yet Kansas City was allowed to walk oft
with the privilege. It thereupon became the
duty of the Kansas City turners to make
arrangements for the fcst , which generally
.nkos place m August of each year. On the
first of the month , however , tlio Kansas Qlty
; nen wrote the vorwaerts , this year located
in Toneka , that they would not bo able
to do anything toward holding
a turn-fcst this year. and sug
gesting that the privilege booxlcndcd to
some other city. The vorwaerts communicat
ed this Intelligence to all tlio vorolns In the
Missouri iVnlloy bozlrk , nnd the nowa has
been received with pronounced displeasure.
It is claimed that Kansas City should not
have sought the fcst If she did not -want It ,
and further that she should long slnco have
found out that she was not able to get ready
for holding It. As It stands now , but Httlo
Lime is loft in which to pot ready for the fpst

Tlio case of the state against William C.
I3ryun , on a writ of habeas corpus , was being
heard yesterday before Judge Dundy. Uryan

jastardy and released under ? 103 bond.

day Bryan's attorney asked that the bond bo
lccrcasodto700. which request was granted.
Tlio application for the writ of habeas cor
pus proceedings was begun In the United
[ States court on the ground that the defend
ant had no right to bo placed in Jail when re
leased by his bondsmen without being given
a chance to secure a new bond.
The court took Bryan's petition under ad
visement.
Attorneys have been granted many in
dulgences in thb past by easy-going courts ,
nnd often consult their 'own convenience in
the prosecution of cases. Judge Dundy took
the procrastinating lawyers to task yesterday
nnd gave thorn warning of breakers ahead.
Ho announced that hereafter if attorneys are
not promptly on hand when their causes are
called the court will dismiss the cases for
wautof prosecution. The following cases
were dismissed yesterday for want of prose

Judge Doano was occupied the greater
part of the forenoon in preparing his in
structions to tlio Jury in the case of Schaller
against Omaha. The case was on trial Fri
day and Saturday before him. It is a very
important one nnd a number of suits against
tlio city are depending upon it. It involves
the question as to whether the damages sus
tained by property owing to the changes of
street grade can bo entirely offset by the
benolits to the propqrty derived by the
change of the grauo. The case was tried
once and decided in favor of the city. It
was taken to the supreme court and sent
back to this court for a second trial.
The case of Timothy Lynch against tlio
Union Pacific railway company was the next
case called. Lynch sues for the possession

to his petition they claim that tlio property
was legally appraised by commissioners and
purchased by thorn from Michael O'Donougb.

Police Court.
Omaha Is the Mecca of the American bum.
With no horrors of tlio workhotiso staring
him hi tlio face for his misdemeanors , ho can
with Impunity violate the whole category of
petty crimes , knowing that tlio so-called pun-
Uhmont tlmt may bo inflicted is merely com
fortable longing anil frco board at the county
jail for u brief season. And us this plnco
becomes crowded , the offenders arc kept
over night In tlio city Jails merely to bo
turned loose again in the morning and are
beginning to hold the city government In
contempt and laugh In the face of the police
oftlcors. Omaha thus soema to have become
famed among the social outcasts of America
and during tlio past few wcoks there
lias boou a great oxodtts of bums
nnd criminals to Omaha from St. LoulB ,
Chicago , Cincinnati and ether cltios where
the pain of breaking stone or shoveling dirt
as a pcuanco for tliolr misdemeanors is hold
in as great dread almost as the death pen ally.
The Advent of this scum of society Into
Omaha has resulted in an alarming in
crease of crimeof late. No less than eight
burglars were arrested last week , wlillo
about two dozen burglaries that are
known of were committed. Numerous other
crimes wcro also committed. Sunday the
pollco noted particularly the number Of
drunk and suspicious strangers m the city ,
and yesterday no loss than 77 persons ap
peared in the police court to answer charges
ranging all the.way from n plain drunk to
assault with intent to kill. Five
persons are * charged with thievery , ono with
house-breaking and two with making as
saults with intent to kill , one of them using
a revolver on his victim mid the other slash
ing an unfortunate man with a knife. As
many moro crimes had been committed , the
perpetrators of which had not yet been
found. The rest of the category consisted
-participators in drunken brawls , inebri
ates and vagabonds.

A Gin From the Ship Onmlia to the
City Omaha Lost on the Wny.
Some time ago patriotic citizens of Omaha
made up a liberal purse and presented seine
choice engravings for the Ofllccrs' room on
the man-o'-war Omaha , which liad recently
been named for the city. Tlio ofUocrs of the
Omaha reciprocatedrecently , It seems , by
sending a present of silken colors und a pic
ture of the vessel , which were to bo tlio
property of the city and be deposited In the
mayor's ofllcj. Mayor Uroatch has Just re
ceived H letter from the quartermaster , dated
tn Now York , asking if the gift had been re
ceived. The writer explained that no sent
hi Inquiry because the articles described
hud been sent but no acknowledgment had
been received in return. Neither the mayor
nor the city clerk lias received the gift , nor
Socs either know aught of its probable where
abouts. Its loss is unaccountable , and n
tracer will bo put ou the track of the miss
ing articles.
A Deed of Heroism.
Saturday afternoon W. L. Parrotte &Co.s
traveling men went out to Cut-off lake to
take a swim. They hired two boats and got
ull the fun out of them that nine Jolly trav
elers possibly could , with the exception of
big-hearted Jack Gurratt , who rescued n lit
tle boy from drowning. Tlio httlo fellow
was leaning against a post nt the end of the
chute belonging to ono of tlio ice houses when
it suddenly gave way , and immersed the boy
in about ten foot of water. Immediately both
boats were headed toward the boy , who
sank twice before the boats wcro half way to
him. Mr. Garratt , realizing the boy's peril
and acting promptly , jumped overboard
and grabbed the drowning boy as
ho was going down for the lust timo. Those
who saw the affair cannot suy too much in
Mr. Garratt's praise. Unfortunately at the
time Mr. Garratt had on all bis clothes , in
cluding a very valuable gold watch that Is
much the worse for its bath , and ceases to
tell Jack when it is time to get up in tlio
morning nnd report to the ofiico whoa the
balance of the boys do. In addition to tins
mishap Mr. G. lost a valuable diamond pin
nud wet his now three-dollar straw hat.
Ho expressed his satisfaction in having
kept his cigar in his mouth , as it wus the last
ouo ho liail und consequently the ducking did
not count.
Centennial Exposition nt Hand.
A few days only remain before the opening
of the centennial exposition at Cincinnati.
The buildings uro ready , and have been ever

going to add tlio brightest of all tlio feathers
which she already has , to her hat. The
special features , in addition to tlio really
large industrial exhibit xvhich will bo soon ,

and spectacular entertainments and the
stupendous industrial und historic pageant ,
the last of which will take place on tlio
Fourth of July , the day of the opening. Tlio
exposition will continue through 100 days ,
and those who do not attend will miss one of
the greatest events in American history.

"Tins business of insulting respectable
women on tlio streets must bo stopped , " said
Judge Horku yesterday , mid Ed Marsloy was

Jlr , I'rledsuys : "For more than live yuurs I
hitvo boon a tonlblo sulli'ror.iny head seemed to

eyes , and my IIOMJ would stop up , first on ouo
Bide , then on the other , often both nostrils. Than

roaring or buzzing sounds thtiy appeared to ino
to be , and sometimes sounds llko whistling and
hammering. About this time my throat also bo-
Hoinetliuoa of.u greenish , at other times of a yel
lowish color.
I would often have pains In the chest , ex
tending to the right Hhouldor blade. When
drawing a long breath I could hear a kind of
wheezing uolso in my chest. And soinetltuos it
would seem to mo as it I was breathing through
a sponge I scorned to bo able to hear the ulr
passing through. I began to fear that I was
going into consumption. I was moro firmly
convinced of this when , before loupe , 1 com
menced to cough a kind of hollow cough. Tlw
sharp pains in niy client would extend around
to the Binn.ll of my back ,
"Try to prevent It as 1 might , I was forever
patching fresh cold. 1 never was without them.
Mucus would run from my nose , and oulte fre
quently my nose would bleed. At my work I
have to stoop over quite frequently , ana when I
did so I would become dixr.ynnd everything
seemed to swim buforo niy eyus. At night my
sleep did not refresh me at all , and in the morn
ing would fc/3l us tired and languid ag when I
went to bed ,
"Sly stomach was affected , too. I would sit
down to the table with what seemed a good tip-
potlto , but after a mouthful or two mynppotlto
would leave me. Everything would semi to
sour on my stomach. Tlicro would be almost
constant belching , n disagreeable , bitter tns > to in
the mouth , and ut last I got so 1 didn't care to
look at food.
I lost ilesh and strength rapidly and was al
ways fueling tired ; had no ambition. Kvery stop
Itook and whatever work 1 might do was ilono
witn an effort , and after working a while or
walking a block or two my Jiend would persplro
and my limbs would uclio as it 1 had done some
very heavy work.
.1 had heard considerable talk about thesuccess
of Dr. McCoy in such rates and rend several of
the testimonials published in the dally papers
and concluded I woula try him. It was with
small hopes , however , for 1 had tried seven dif
ferent physicians and tried about a barrel of
patent medicines and was about dUeouraged , I
vlblted his olllce In Kumge block and consulted
him. After a careful examination ho told mo I
