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

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

cannot bo otherwise tlmn greatly bene
ficial to him , nnd thora is universal
Lope that within a short time lie will bo

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

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

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

iTfSpcithc of his illustrious nniestry ,

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.

Tlio York Times is sure thnt "tho repub

The North Nebraska Eagle announces to
the saloonkeopeisof Dakota county that "it

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

The editor of the York Republican evi

that "wo rather ngruo with the county fath

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. "

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

of Nebraska the Importance of sending delegates -
gates to the nnxt national convention who

but there was a strong , healthy Groslmm

Each happy floweret nil around ,
Its incense upward sending.

Of nature in her gladness.

And every vision half concealed

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. His old command was recruited , n
company from Indianapolis , SliPlbyvillo ,
Danville , Moovcsvillo , Kdiuburg , Franklin ,
Lebanon , Southport , Fulrland and Greens-
burg , thus covci Ing the center of the state.
In them hi ) has uurncst advocates that know
his woith and who will labor in his biihalf.
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. Wli n A niilla Joao-t was named as
postmaster at Indianapolis they wondurM If
it was to soy the Vilest coppcrhoml that In
diana hail l.ol'l tins honored that tlmy bad

The chief exponent of the doctrine of the

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

is the friend of the people against monopolies

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

Intelligent voters of Indiana will march to
easy victory In November nnd show that
Harrison can carry the stnto. I. J.U.

THH PltKSS O.V TIIU TICKI3T.
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
