During the month of Juno the Omalm stock market handled 1C,000 moro hoes tlmn Kansas City , v/litoll places our market second only to Chicago. IN view of the remnrkablo emigration of JW.OOO Italians lo the United States so far this year , it is not to bo wondered Dt that a statue of the Italian patriot , Garibaldi , was tfjivcilcd at Now York City recently. The exodus , however , of so many sons of Italy ought to have a depressing effect upon the orgnn grind ing business of this country. COMPLAINTS are continually made that Yellowstone Park is being do- spoilcd of its game , its forests and nat ural wonders by the hands of vandals. If interlopers keep up their ravages , in a few years the park will bo destroyed for the purpose it was intended. Con gress clearly is not doing its duty in protecting the Yellowstone Park. It should police this national reservation more cITectivoly and insist that ollend- crs should ho expelled from it. THE commencement exercises of a number of the schools of Now York Vroro particularly marked this year by patriotic features. Tlio starry Hag was given uncommon prominence , the music was largely of a patriotic character , and many of the essays were in a like vein. A special effort was made some months ngo to infuse more of this spirit and Bontimont into the schoolbof New York , nnd it would seem to have boon quite successful. There is in it everything to commend and nothing to object to. It is quite impossible to teach the chil- flron of America too much patriotism. GENEUAL , SnisiiiDATi left , Washington yesterday morning on the steamer Bwatara for a sojourn In the cooler ut- mosphoro of the sea coast whore , it is hoped , his health will bo speedily re- ttored. The great soldier has made tlio Imivo&t tight of Ills life since ho was prostrated by his present illness , and there is most favorable promise that ho will again bo victorious. The transfer from the superheated and enervating atmosphere of Washington to the cool nnd invigorating air of the sea alioro cannot bo otherwise tlmn greatly bene ficial to him , nnd thora is universal Lope that within a short time lie will bo fully rcbtorod to health. COXOUKSSMAN JOHN 1) . LONG , of Massachusetts , comes to the rescue of Ills brethren and says it Is all false that congressmen in Washington are as n eluss extravagant and prolligato. "Tho liousu is full of poor men who make no chow , who are just as plain , woll-bo- liavnd , tompcrato , church-going people us you and I meet at homo , " ho writes. "I'ino raiment U so rare among thorn that mi old suit which I urn now wear ing for thn third summer , hits boon ex ploited by tha newspaper reporters Its subjecting mo to the -1 ( charge of being well dressed , " Thorn lu no doubt that the utnm-rous tales of extravagance which are circu lated at times from the national capital nro ranJe out of whole cloth. Hut neither must it bti tukon for granted that the people's ronrosoritnllvtij in congress practice Spartan simplm'ty ' nnd Hurl tun sobriety. Congro sr.ion nre pretty much like all other men. There la n class at Washington con- eplcuous for its show of money , and Its excesses. This is the sot whiuh got ; itsulf into notoriety. Themis another find larger class ot congressmen , the ij'io Mr. Long describes , which con- due's itbclf in a repuUblo manner. For t'u > most part our senators and ropre- Eontnlivos are sober , aorioui-rninded men. This U especially true of the loaders. \ir at Washington just ns fcnyvrlioro else , plain living and huh thinking to hand iu hand. \ A Notable Anniversary. On the fourth InstnnV thcro will bo lniujratcd nt Cincinnati , n jubilee , to bo continued ono hundred iliys , com- Incmor.itUo of the settlement of thnt city ono hundred years ngo. A few months since the ono hundredth anni versary of the settlement of Marietta , Ohio , wns observed. The latter city Is the oldest in the Ohio Valley , it being there that the men who received the passage of the ordinance of 17S7 laid the foundations of the vast empire which in the century since hns grown In popula tion , wealth and power infinitely be yond the most sanguine dreams of the courageous pioneers who loft their custom homos to build anew in tlio western wilderness , There is no chapter of American history that can have greater Interest for the people of this country nnd particularly these of the west , than that which tolls the story of the men who llrst settled the Ohio valley , and It is moat suitable that Ne braska , whoso population is largely mndo up of descendants of these man , is to bo properly represented nt the opon- ng of the Cincinnati anniversary by jovcrnor Thnyor nnd his staff. The ordinance of 1787 , under which the largo territory now comprised in half ado7.on states was opened to settle ment , was a ptcco of work not less honorable - orablo to the wisdom , the patriotism , the courage and the foresight of tlio founders of the republic than were the declaration of independence and the federal constitution. It will always occupy u place bosldo these iroductions in evidence of the just sentiments - timonts of the men of that period on the great subject of civil and religious liberty. In liis celebrated speech in reply to Hay no , Mr. Webster said ; "Such sentiments were common , and : vbound in all our state papers of that day. Bui this ordinance did that which was not BO common , and which is not oven now universal ; that is , that it sot forth and declared , as a high and bind ing duty of government itself , to en courage fcehools and advance the means of education , as the plain reason thnt religion , morality and knowledge are necessary to good govern ment and to the happiness of mankind. " There were many other tilings prescribed and required by this romaVkablo ordinance , some of which are to bo found in the national constitution and in the constitutions of a number of tlio states , but perhaps the most important of all its provisions was that which shut out slavery and invol untary servitudeotherwise than in pun ishment of crimes from the now terri tory. It required a long and earnest effort to erect this first barrier against the spread of slavery , but tlio men who had con ceived the great project of carrying civilization into this virgin wilderness were uncompromisingly determined that the now territory should be sacred to freedom , that only free men should engage in tlio mighty task they had planned , and they wcro successful , though not without a hard struggle , in fixing this great principle unalterably in the ordinance and thus making the llrst declaration in this land , in the form of a fundamental law , hostile to slavery. What a marvel of human progress , of mighty achievement , of vast enrich ment , nnd of almost immeasurable power , has been wrought out in the cen tury since the first bravo settlers erected their cabins in the Ohio valley , and laid the foundations of the great western empire that is to-day a pre dominant power in tno republic. In all history there is no parallel to the magnificent fruition of tlio labors of these courageous and self-sacrificing pioneers. Wo shall search in vain for any such pro gress and achievement in any other land accomplished within a period of ono hundred years. To-day moro than twenty millions of prosperous and happy people attest the wisdom of the men who secured the ordinance of 1787 , and under its beneliciont pro visions sowed in the wilderness the seeds of now states that were destined to become the power to cleanse the na tion of the sin of slavery and contribute immeasurably to its material prosperity and power. To the great west the anniversary that celebrates the opening labors of civilization in the Ohio Valley must possess a peculiar interest , but no American citi/.on who will read the history of that beginning and of all that lias followed can fail to find in it 11 great .stimulus to his patriotism and a source of increased confidence in the grand destiny of his country. The I'rldo ofltlrth. Among the many shouters for Ilurrihon there seems to bo ono man at least who has the temerity to say that uncostry ought not to count for much in a presidential campaign. That man is General Harrison hinibelf. lie smiled ploubantly when his dLstinguibhotl desgcnt was alluded to , and said simply , "I was aarmor's boy , raised on a farm , given an education by the solf-fcacrilic- ing labors of my father , and was born , BO to speak , with a boo in my hand , and not with a silver spoon in my mouth. My wife and I began house keeping with six steel knlvur , nnd ns many forks , witli no servant and no frills. For years my wlfo was cook , washerwoman and timid of all work. I do not think that we over passed happier years. " There is not much of the aristocrat in such a record , nor anything of the snob tn the plain , matter-of-fact recital of thcsu ulrcmnstaiK'03 of early poverty. (5 nn oral Harrison dotibtlesi ajfrcos with many latter day genealogists who liavo bournhod the record that "too many families are like potatoes with the bctl under ground. " Like Lev ! IJ. Morton , ho began Ufa as a poor boy und ho is en titled to the honor of having been the architect of hUown fortune , It is to bo a favorite dodgu of the democracy during the campaign to at tempt to arouse prejudice ujfaiiikt General - oral Harrison because } m grundfutiuir and great grandfathur rsndored dietln- guhhed political nnd military services to the republic. But the public gen erally will bo more attracted by the manly tribute which the son of a pee run n pays to u hard worhini , ' futhqr who stL * . - . ' . . . _ . . I male his own rise in life possible , quite iTfSpcithc of his illustrious nniestry , or which Lo wixs in no ttiiso responsi ble , and' which rcfUcU no particular credit t'pon ' himself. Cotnnirricciiicnt Time. If Juno is the month of rose1' , it is nl o iho month of commencements , anil -heroforo is doubly welcome and glad- some. The thousands of young men and voting women , ' whether in school , icadcmy or college , at last nro freed 'rom their alma maters , nnd like young ulrds , Impatient to try their wings. To them the world is bright , hope Is buoy ant , aspiration high and ideal ju 4 within grasp. They are living truly in n land of roses , where thorns are turned to petals. The commencement season is therefore most fit and most happy to usher these young people into the moro serious duties of life. They pass through the portals of education , nil festooned with joy , into the street of business where cnro nnd competition jostle each other on the way. But these young graduates are light of heart and elastic ot stop. They are the bettor equipped for the battle of life In having had the disci pline of their schools. They have Im bibed the principles of trtto manhood nnd true womanhood. They have learned the value and the uses of citi zenship. Brought in contact with the highest thought of all ages , those young people are morally and intellectually the stronger. In their hands there need bo no fears to entrust the responsibilities awaiting them. Tlmy will pfuard sa credly the sanctity of the homo , the purity of the ballot , the honor of the country. Commencement day enfran chises them into this real citizenship. It is the end of their ideal-building ; it is the beginning of building their ideal. Tun failure of the iron manufacturers ana their employed to come to an agree ment regarding wages promises n general - oral shut down of the iron mills employ ing union labor. The manufacturers insist that they cannot continue opera tions at the present price for labor , while the men are equally firm in refus ing to submit to a reduction of ten per cent. The result will bo to throw many thousands of iron workers out of em ployment , while of course other labor , particularly that engaged in mining , will sulTor. This state of affairs lias been threatened for a month or two past , but it was hoped that an agree ment would bo reached under which the mills would goon. That this has not been done is the moit unfortunate fact in the business situation. Tunui : is no hope for the passage of the Outhwaito bill in congress. West ern representatives have given the house committee on Pacific railroads lo understand that they will not support the measure. Tlio Union Pacific may now bo expected to sit in sack cloth and ashes , and shed tears on the sea of Galilee. VOlCi : OF T11I3 STATIC PIIKSS. Tlio York Times is sure thnt "tho repub lican ticket will wear well. The more people think about It and count the chances of suc cess , tbo stronger it will become. " The North Nebraska Eagle announces to the saloonkeopeisof Dakota county that "it will sit on its perch and assist in every move ment made to prosecute each and every ono every time the law is violated i" The democratic Nebraska City News sizes up the republican ticket us weak to-day , but predicts that "it will gain strength during the coming campaign , and , according to our views , is likely to bo under eatimatod by the democrats. " In commenting upon the fact that John M. Thurston presided at the ClinMgo conven tion , the Lyons Mirror propounds these queries. "Whieh was honored by the net ! Was It Nebraska ? Was it Hon. John M. Thurston ! or was it the element of railroad monopoly of the country i" Now that the national ticket is in the field the Norfolk News thinks "it is time to begin casting about for a state ticket. First and foremost we want to sec Madison county republicans publicans united In sending to tlm conven tion a delegation in favor of .1. S. McClary as a candidate for state treasurer. IIo is honest , straightforward , a good and true re publican , mid would make an excellent can- diuate. " The editor of the York Republican evi dently believes in strict economy , as is evi denced by the unequivocal announcement that "wo rather ngruo with the county fath ers in refusing to pay for the matting on tlio lloor in the county otllces. The majority of those who pay the taxes do not live on mat ting in their homes , and if they furnish the money to pay for n line building for tlio olll- cer.s , and those oftkvrs want extras , they should reach down in their own pockets.

"Not I , " said J. M. T , " 1 think it was TUB HBIS. " TUB HER killed Depaw. The Hastings Giuctto-Journal wonted Groshain nominated , and expresses the belief that ho was undoubtedly the choice of u largo und almost overwhelming majority of the republicans of the west. Thu editor feels sad over the result of the convention , and exclaims ; "The Garotte-Journal de sires to impress upon the people of this part of Nebraska the Importance of sending delegates - gates to the nnxt national convention who will huvo the courage to voice the sentiments of tbo people. There was no dcmund in Nebraska for Allison , or Alger or Sherman ; but there was a strong , healthy Groslmm sentiment , und the Nebraska delegation com mitted a.serious error In refusing to heed it. " U'bo I'ulrmont Signal thus exposes tbo Omnlia Hi-raid's unique service of "Very Latest Telegraphic News : " " ' ( Jo awuy from homo tn learn the news' is an old and trite saying.

CAN JI13 UAItllY INDIANA ? The question as to whether the nominee of the Chicago convention can carry his own state is one of supreme importance. It is gcnornll ) conccedcd that if lie is successful at homo his election is certain. In the dis cussion of the question several important factors are to bo considered. Before indi cating them it may bo well to disabuse the public mind of an impression that the demo cratic journals lire striving to cmphasiM. They would Imvo the voters believe that Harrison risen was defeated for govoinor in 1STG. Harrison risen was not the nominee of the Indiana re publican party in IbTO. The nominee in that year was Godlovo S. Oith. Such serious charges were mndu against the nominee that it became apparent that Williams , the demo cratic nominee , would certainly bo elected. A few weeks before the election t nc state central committee determined to tjikq. Orth'b tinuio oil the ticket. Harrison was urged to allow his name to bo ased. Ho did so nnd with the knowledge that ho was making a sacrifice for his paity. IIo mndo n splendid cnnvass ana came near being elect ed in spite of the handicap. If ho hud been the original nominee thcro is no doubt but he would have been elected. Indiana is called a doubtful stato. 1 ! Is n state of polit ical burpusos. its vote has been known to go oao way at the October election and bo most emphatically reversed nt poles in the Miccecdinginonth. These unacquainted with Indianians and Indiana politics have a sur prise in store for them whim they read tlie tcstilts of next November's election. They will be amiucd at the magnitude of the re publican majority. Three or four items of controlling importance will enter into the Indiana campaign. Indiana was , and is , a soldier's utato. She is proud of her record in the war. Shrs is pi oud of her war governor , Ollivcr P. Mor ton , and proud of the immo ho left in the hearts of his countrymen. The great mass of her population is intensely loyal. It is a working man's state. Of tier loyal thousands who responded to their country's call in the days of the rebellion a majority were demo crats. When peace was declared and they returned to quiet homos they brought hack , love for democracy , tidelity to their coun try's Hag and veneration for these , who like themselves , had risked their lives to save the untarnished emblem. To day the man of Honjnmm Harrison's old command are .scat tered all over the btuto of Indiana ami all over the nation. A majority of IIH old regi ment ( the Seventieth Indiana ) were demo crats but wherever one of them lives to-day ho and his .sons and all heir friends are sounding the praises of Hanlson. They hear once more the bugle blast , they answer to the call. H Is a slgnltl- cint fact that the Jlrst delegation to offer him congratulations was largely made up of democratic soldiers who wcro with him In the ileld.

A icason for the defeat of the Indiana demo- cratb is found in the fact that thcro is bitter war within tlio party. Tim loyal portion of the party have won many things in the Cleveland administration to disgust them with his policy and cause thorn to declare that ha tthnll not have more opportunity to insult and di&qraca thorn. With anger and alarm tlio democratic sol diers of Indiana saw Mr. Cleveland's nttl- tudo on the proposition to return tttu rebel Hags , With sh.inio they icaa of his pension vetoes , and with anger , shame and digust they looked upon his appointments in their stato.

The mem bers of these parties are men who formerly belonged to the republican party. In Harrison risen they rccognbo n man that they can trust nnd they will gladly embrace this op portunity to got back In republican ranks. The chief exponent of the doctrine of the mugwumps hi that state , as also of civil service reform , Is the Indianapolis News. This paper has n circulation more than twice as great ns any other pnpor In the stnto , It Is decidedly the paper of the laborer , and by that class Is road nnd its advice heeded. It is the friend of the people against monopolies nnd corporations and occupies much the same position in Indiana that TUG OMAHA. Bcu does in the great northwest. That pnper will advocate Harrison's cause nnd will wield n powerful Influence In his behalf. So with only n broken and dlsorgiinlred dem ocratic paity to contend with , the decent nnd Intelligent voters of Indiana will march to easy victory In November nnd show that Harrison can carry the stnto.

DON Pi\rr is living In peace and plenty In his beautiful homo in the Mao-o-chook valley of Ohio , lie established the Washington Capital a few years ago. Tlio paper went after all the news and after nb'out every- bodys' sculp. Piatt pushed his pencil so far Into news items that when ho pulled it out a good si/ed fortune was found slicking to it. IT was announced last wecktb.it the Count do LOSSOJH was dead. Fortun itely for the world the announcement was only another stock jobbing lie. It is to bo hope 1 that Charon will not invite the eminent count to ride across the river Acheron in his phantom bark until long after the keels of commerce are seen ploughing the waters of the com pleted Panama canal. StvrEK\ years ago an actor named Fetcher was electrifying audiences in the principal cities by his wonderful acting and m igical handling of the sword. Whole houses rose to their feet when ho appeared. Half that many years ago he died. The fact that his son Paul was recently killed by an accidental sword thrust from his brothcr-In law will borvo to recall him from oblivion just a moment. WHI\ . T. Stewart , the dry goods prince of Now York , died a few years ago ho left u good maiiv millions to his wife and one mil lion to .ludge Hilton. Hilton has had charge of Mrs. Stewart's estate. When she died re cently it was found she had loft little or noth ing while Hilton had grown Immensely rich. This shows that the Judge who barred the Jews out of the L : > ag Branch hotel has a great head for figures. NOT long since the papers of Colorado wore poking fun at II. A. W.

Recently his mining picks have popped into a vein of min eral that is now paying him something like $5,000 a day , and all at once these same papers are giving him slathers of praise and booming him for governor. Thcro is a laugher or a bigli sequestered somewhere in this item , and you can take your choice and dig it out. IT is questionable whether it pays to have brains. The brightest minds of time have owned pockets as empty as tlio head of a dude. Wilton received f."i for "Paradise Lost. " Johnson lived in abject poverty nearly all his life. Oliver Goldsmith was so poor that his friends had to bury him. The immortal Shakcspoiro led nn existence liar- rasiod by bill collectors.

Indlannpolis Journal ( rep ) : The nomlnn. lion is complete vindication of the wisdom and patriotism of tlio laigest , most earnest and most enthusiastic convention ever hold. The nomination of llnrrkon and Morton Is the happiest solution that could possibly have been made of the great political problem. If It wcro not so clearly the result ot human wisdom wo should call It inspiration. The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette strongly endorses the nomination. New York Herald ( IndV The two re publican candidates , Messrs. Harrison nnd Morton nro , like the demo cratic candidates , upright and hon orable men. The fait Is n great gain to the country. There can bo no excuse on cither side for n mere personal canvass ; nnd fotInnately the positions of the two parties on the question of taxation nro so radically opposed that Iho canvass can be made , unit will bo made , wo believe , mainly on this question. San Francisco Post ( rep. ) ! Harrison was not the llrst choice ot tlio voters of Califor nia. Gresham or Alper represent the nttl- tudo of the coast far more closely than Harrison risen , especially on the Chinese question , nnd California would have been tar better satisfied hud either of these been cluwen , but Harrison conies of n doubtful state and It is of the highest importance that the party should triumph la November. It is probable that his supporters Imvo given assurances that his vote ns senator six rears nrjo docs not represent his present attitude on the Chinese question , nnd that ho is sound on the silver question. Philadelphia Ledger ( Independent ) : The nomination is one entirely lit to be made. Though wo do not think It is the best that was in the reach ot the convention , nnd it is ono of the results that seemed to fellow tlio logical demands of the situation. The Inqulier ( rep ) : The government will bo safe In Harrison's hands. The Times ( dom ) : Altogether the ticket Is dull , respectable nnd unobjectionable ) . The North American ( rep. ) endorses the ticket. Now York Sun , ( dem. ) : Harrison is not a gicat man ns a political gcnuius , but no body need believe he is an Insignificant can didate. Hols n straight i cpubllcan , yet in volved in no factional animosities , livery- body who over belonged to the republican party can suppoit him. As a soldier , too , his record merits success. Its a respectable ticket nil through. We warn the democrats they will have to put forth their best elToits ami bring out their utmost strength. Now York Commercial Advertiser , idem ) . Harrison's character is above reproach and his nomination will relieve the country of the fcnr of another campaign of personal criticism and scandal. The issue will now be one of principle and policy. Now York World ( Ucm. ) : Mr. Ilurrlsol is available without reference to the honol able positions occupied by his ancestors. In the Hi si phu-c , ho is a prominent citizen of a doubtful state , and he had the support of its delegates all but unanimously Ho has a peed boluicr record , having gone into the war : i second lieutenant of volunteers , and having como out of it n. brevet brigadier general. Ho is a thoroughly equipped lawyer and ho has experience as nstnlosinan , having fiorvod creditably for six years in the Unttcdl Status senate. Ho has always acted ns T straight pirty man , and his honesty hasl never been questioned. Moreover , ho has always boon n practical civil service re former and an extreme protectionist , and when In congress he favored tax reduction by the abolition of internal levcnuo duties. Ulobc-Dcniocrat , ( Hop. ) : Harrison , In point of ability , is fully up to the avoiugo of the republican presidents , and is far above that not onlj of the present occupant of that ofllce , but is also above that of the average candulato which the president's pai ty lias put in the Held since thoiebollion. Morton would bo entirely competent to fill the presidential olllco if , on the election of the ticket , n vacancy should occur in that post during the term. Hoth are well known to the reading portion of the people of the country. Minneapolis Tribune ( rop. ) : The noinlim- . tion of General Hariison was probably tbo wisest action under the circumstances thnt could bo taken by the convention. His public and private life has been without u shadow of icpruacli , and ho has as few antagonisms to overcome as any public man In the nation. His .strength throughout the northwest is un derstood. Tlio platform and man tit to gether As a whole , the ticket of Harrison and Morton compares favorably with the candidates who had reflected honor upon the party in former campaigns. St. Paul Piom'cr-Pioss ( rop. ) : Undersuch leadership the republican party will carry forward an oarncst , enthusiastic , ugrcssivu campaign. The St. Louis Glebe Democrat ( rep , ) : The ticket will undoubtedly prove strong and popular. Now York Times ( Iml ) : The republican party deserves more credit than It will get , wo fear , for tlio nomination made by the con vention. Already there Is n disposition shown to deride the ticket It has put before the poople. The Intensity of the struggle through which the result was reached , the unworthy plot to which the con vention no nearly succumbed , and the pas sions moused and the resentments engen dered have given duo prominence and attention to the legoncratiiig force which lias worked within and upon the party In Chi cago. It Is In truth a notable step upward to rise from James ( i. Hlalno to Henjamin Har rison. It Is n creditable exchange , wo think , to swap Stephen H. Klkins for John C. Now ns a camliiiate-mnkor. Chicago D.illy News ( dem. ) ; IJy nomi nating Harrison tlio republican party haa eliminated tbo personality of Illume from the coming campaign , ami upon this the entire country Is to bo licaitliy congratulated So fur as Harrison's personality and record will c/iunt In the campaign , ho may bo said to bo a negative 'juuntity.

Mr. Harrison U , as Mr. Ingulls would say , "not a leader , " Ho is possibly a "somebody ' like Huyos In JsTO , but he is not one of the men toward wliuin one fools an Instinctive attraction.
