AVKHAUi : DAILY CIKCUJ.ATIOX i20.0.-)7 Total for tlic Week - - -140,400 Tins Is going to bo a "rough nnd rendy" campaign , It will bo rough on tlio democrats.

The mar riage of his grace the Duke of Marlborough - ough to Mrs. Lily Ilaminerslcy , the mil lionaire Now York widow , is a principle of free trade not to be tolerated in this country. STATISTICS of the industrial progress in the south for the first six months of the current year make a very gratify ing exhibit. The total capital repre sented in new enterprises and the en largement of old plants is stated at over eighty-one million dollars Alabama lending in the amount invested. In a business way the south is certainly mak ing very satisfactory progress. Tun coming Fourth will bo memor able for a number of altogether except ional features , but none more so than the illumination with red fire of half a dozen of the highest peaks of the moun tain range in Oregon , provided this ad venturous method of observing the day shall provo successful. American pa triotism blazoned from the mountain tops will bo unique and thrilling. THK promoters of the Palace of Products have no time to lese if they flcsiro to see the enterprise a success. It is late in the season already and quite apart from the means necessary for assuring success , brains will bo ncc- sssary for its management. Everybody Is not capable of improvising and super- rising a grand exposition. It will take i man of broad ideas and some oxpori- jnco. IT is rather amusing to note the lioast of an enterprising contemporary is to the marvelous increase of bub- icriptious , which nro alleged to be pouring in upon it from ill directions. Wo are favored with i sworn certificate that the names of so many persons have boon added to Us list from day to day during the past two months , but it is not bttUcd how many of these now names represent Sample copies. " And all reference ns to the names of subscribers dropped li'oin the list is discretely omitted. EVKX the express companies have inught the fever and are vloing with the eastern railroads iu cutting western rates regardless of consequence , The ( \moriean , tlio United States and the lUlums express companies and the trunk linen of railroads at Now York , are dashing each other's rates so that a ihippor can name his own terms on freight. Although this may bo a tem porary boon to shippers , it is an injus tice to the business community at largo , The demoralization of rates lw $ a par- ilyxlng effect which will bo felt the moment u robtoration of rates takes place. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tim taxpayers are still waiting for an u.xplnnation from some member of the board of education to juatify the tearing flown of a $20,000 school hougo on Lake Ureot. The building was a brick ttructuro only erected two years ago ; there was not a single crack found in it when it was torn down , nnd thcro is not u shadow of excuse for its dostruo tlou. Suppose the manngera of a pri vate corporation should Indulge in the caprice of tearing down $20,000 , build- lugs , what wpuld the stockholders .sayV Would they not prosoouto their man- agora for misuse ol their power , and It'ok to recover from thorn the vuluo ol Uio property do t It l&Notrtn Is-wo. The effort of the domocrntic organs .o mnko the Chinese question nn issue n the campaign will not ho largely suc cessful. The ob'jcct of the clamor mnde ahout the position of Mr. Harrison on this Buhjcctvhilo in the senate is to ntelcad workingmcn , but it will fail nq to nil such who hnvo the intolUgonco to understand plain and Incontrovertible 'nets. The mot salient of thcso is that Harrison , in common with some other republican and some democratic sena tors , opposed certain proposed lepisla- tion regarding Chinese immigration on the ground that it was hostile to treaty stipulations and to n then ex isting statute , and court decisions since liavo sustained thi.Tvio w. There hns not jccn a single fact produced from the record of Mr. Harrison to show that ho was In the remotest degree in sympa thy with n policy of unrestricted Chi nese immigration. What he dosircd was that congress should make no now aws in violation of obligations sacredly entered into by the government , and ho did not stand alone in this , having good democratic company. Even the Now York jiYnirs , which certainly would not jo out of its way to say anything favora ble to the republican candidate , in ref erence to this matter frankly says : "Harrison's record on the question of restricting Chinese immigration is not satisfactory to many , but really it is not discreditable to him. In opposing the restrictive meas ures Senator Harrison probably acted from a fccnso of duty. That ho wished to encourage the introduction of cheap labor is hardly to bo supposed. " The California delegation went to Chicago strongly prejudiced against Ilnrrison solely on account of his action in the senate on proposed Chinese legislation. They made a thorough investigation that satisfied them his course had been largely misrepresented and misjudged , and they voted solidly for him. The republican newspapers of San Francisco arc giving the ticket a hearty and un qualified support , and there has been no information of any disaffection among the republicans of the Pacillc coast. They are haunted by no appre hension that as president Mr. Harrison would countenance unrestricted Chinese immigration. But in endeavoring to make this ques tion an issue in the campaicrn against the republican candidate , the democrats "point with pride" to the treaty nego tiated by the presontadministration for excluding the Chinese. As an evidence of the wisdom of Cleveland-Bayard di plomacy this is not n triumph in treaty- making that will warrant such boasting. Evan the democratic papers of Califor nia lind bcrious defects in it , while every Pacific coast representative de manded its amendment by the senate and insists that additional legislation is necessary to make it effective. The San Francisco Cull points out sev eral obnoxious provibions in the treaty , under which its prime purpose may easily bo defeated , while the Cliionick says of it : "If this treaty is so absolutely perfect , how docs it happen that every Pacific coast repre sentative demanded its amendment by the &cnato and insists that additional legislation is necessary to make it effect ive ? It is all very well for campaign purposes to boast of the Chinese treaty , but such boast will deceive no one who is at all familiar with the question. The fact is that the astute Chinese min ister at Washington was too cunning a diplomatist for Secretary Bayard , and procured such a treaty as he wanted , not such as the Pacific coast demanded. " Tiiia same paper declares the treaty a "transparent fraud and a glaring hum bug , " and OH being "all for China and all against the United States. " The Chinese question : an not be made an issue in this presidential campaign , but if it could bo it is not easy to see in what way the democrats could obtain any advantage from it. Certainly not from the exhibition sure to bo made of Cloveland-Bayard diplomacy. Set Tlii-in at AVork. During the month of Juno , there were 350 arrests made by our police for va grancy. Tliib is an average of ton va grants for each day of the month. If one-half of the vagrants arrested were sent up by the police judge , the expense entailed on the taxpayers of this county for boarding those trainpd would bo S17.50 per day. Now it strikes us that the most effec tive plan to rid the city of trumps and vagrants would bo to compel them to earn their board by work upon the roadways. Tramps are not fond of la bor even in the summer season. When it becomes generally known that vagrants and tramps are compelled to work on the roads that class of tour ists will give Omaha the go-by. In stead of 1550 arrests per month , the uolico will have hard work to run in thirty- five. five.There There is ample authority to place persons convicted of vagrancy at work on public highways. The commission ers have hud the county attorney's opin ion on that subject for some time past , and wo do not comprehend why they hesitate to carry out the law. The ob jections which are urged against con tract convict labor do not apply to this case. There is no contractor , and no contract work to bo performed , Many of our roadways are sadly out of ropair. There is no money in the county or city treasury for repairing them. No laborer will lese a day's job by the employment of the tramps on re pairs of the highways , which would otherwise have to remain torn up and impassable , The indubtrious workingman - man who owns a homo should not bo taxed for boarding shiftless vagabonds who refuse to work for a living. The Arrogant Su ar Trust. With a single exception the most ar rogant of the combinations for con trolling the supply and prices of pro ducts is the sugar trust. Snico its or ganization , less than n yonr ago , it has plundered the consumers of the country to the extent of not loss than ten mil lion dollars by raising the prices of ro- ilncd sugars in the faca of the fact that the raw article declined in price. The spirit of this combination was well shown in the course of the investigation pjroso'cuted by the committee of thoNew York SfMifito. It proposed to bo a law Unto Itself , and so long as it is permit ted to go on in its operations unchal lenged and unchecked , it will not only continue its exactions , but become moro arrogant and oppressive. The latest action of this trust in furtherance of its policy of controlling tire sugar markets of the country is in giving notice that the combination will after July 1 , pay no commissions to bro kers who deal in any other than trust sugars. The independent rollners , who refused to enter the combination , nro producing about half the quantity mndo by the trust , but within a year the com bination will have moro formidable com petition. An extensive roflnory is approaching preaching completion in Philadelphia and opposition is developing elsewhere. The latest move of the trust is designed to check the growing competition , and if n sufllcicnt number of brokers is found willing to submit to the arrogant policy of the trust undoubtedly its pur pose will bo for a time effective. It is impossible that it can bo per manently so , but mean time the con sumers will pay roundly to the plunder ing monopoly. This last proceeding is taken in New York , and the question is whether It docs not present a fair case for the at tention of the stale judicial authorities. Acts that constitute a conspiracy hnvo been pretty clearly defined by the high est court in that state , and if a movement of this Uind , clearly inju rious to trade and commerce , as well as inimical to the general welfare , is not a conspiracy within the meaning of the law , then there is urgent neces sity for legislation that will give a moro extended definition to conspiracy. This is not a now phase of trust policy. Tlioro is precedent for it. But it should not on this account bo given toleration eration if there is any way under the law for dealing with it. Ix.n'NCTioxs sued out by Iowa rail roads to bo served on the state board of railroad commissioners are getting as thick as Hies nowadays. It is evident that the railroads of Iowa are going to make a bitter fight to prevent the alter ation of the new freight tariff. By a scurvy trick the railroads induced the commissioners to change the date of the taking effect of the schedule from Juno 28 to July C. After having gained this favor , instead of arranging their local tariff as they had promiscd.tho railroads vokcd the aid of the courts to kill the measure. The point which the rail roads have raised is notlikely to win them a permanent victory over the people even if the courts decide in their favor. The railroad managers propose to test the validity of the power conferred upon the commissioners by legislation to fix votes. They claim that the act of making a schedule is a legislative right exclusively , and that this power cannot bo conferred upon the board of commissioners. Whether the courts decide one way or the other , the rail roads gain time , and the new schedule cannot bo put in force until the injunctions arc dissolved. It is there fore plain that the policy of the rail roads is to harrass the board and the executive as long as they can. This is but another instance whore those monopolies arc trying to put themselves above the law and the expressed will of the people. THE stupid rivalry which is at every turn manifesting itself between South Omaha and Omaha is damaging to both localities. When the Knights of Labor of Omaha decided upon a monster demonstration on Inde pendence Day , it would naturally have been expected that all members of the order in both cities would unite in the celebration and seek to make the affair as imposing as possible. But the spirit of petty rivalry enters as awcdgo and South Omaha has advertised a pro gramme with brass bands , Knights of Labor and various societies. This at tempt will naturally detract from the magnitude of the Omaha celebration , while comparatively the South Omaha affair will bo insignificant by rea son of the fact that the attractions at Omaha will draw four-fifths of the South Omaha population to the city. At the same time any division between the two cities is to bo regretted , because as a matter of fact South Omaha is jubt as much a part of Omaha as North Omaha , and sooner or later the imaginary cor porate line which divides the cities must bo wiped out for the welfare of nil concerned.

'SUOKMAICER'S WAX. " Another "JSiul" J > rawii llu-on l ! It By Sir. Grconc anil Others. A Bni : reporter was assigned to interview Mr. Charles Greene regarding the "shoe maker's wax" epsiode at Chicago during the republican convention. The latter was met , after some dilUculty , and in response to a question as to what was his version of the story , said that so far as the incident was concerned , it occurred substantially as has already been stated. But it was an inci dent of such trifling a character that he could not understand why it should bo made a matter of public interest. Ho knew noth ing further whatever of the matter except what ho had seen in the newspapers , and cared nothing whatever about it. Ho was , however , delighted to know that it was ono of Mrs. Tliurston's Jokes and prompted purely by a spirit of playfulness. As such , ho accepted it , but ho would like to know whether the interview published in the Herald - ald of Saturday last was also a jolto and prompted by the same playful spirit. Ho said he had always rogai ded Mr. and Mrs. Thur > ton as delightful humorists and sup posed ho would have to accept the episode and the interview as their latest contribution to the comic literature of the day , Mr. Greene turned on his heel.smilod and walked away as if the episode in no way annoyed him. him.Mr. . Greene having refused to talk upon the points referred to in the Thurston interview , the reporter found in ono of the leading re publicans of the city , who attended the con vention , a ready spokesman. Ho was indig nant over Thurston'f slurs , and said ; "So far as the charge of Charley Greene bobbing up and down is concerned , is abso lutely untrue and unjust. Ho addressed the chair only seven or eight times during the convention , and then always decently and in order , and was generally recognized by the chair and listened to by the rouvuiilion. 1 remombur partirulary that in the ll'ht ( over the tom , > cr.uirc < resolution Mr. Greene got the attention of the chair and the entire convention at n time when it scumcd as if pandomoniuui had broken loosu. and was listened to while ho mudo his point , whii'h was cheered to the echo "So far as the I'lei'montmtioducloryspocrh is ooncenicd , it was a httlo too long under the circumstances , the audience being , of courbo.iuipnticnt to see Fremont and not par ticularly wanting to hear an unknown party malio a bpecoh. 1 talked with Mr , Greene about it afterwards and lie laughed mid said liouxpectt'tl to bo called down when ho went up. Ho was only surprised that they al lowed him to talk as long as they did. "As to Mr. Greeuo's being elected chair man of the delegation at Mr. Tliuiston's in quest , 1 am sure that the fouling of the dolo- nates for Mr. Greuno was quito as cordial as it was for Thuralon , and that aftur Thurston's election as temporary chairman Mr. Greene uould have been the chairman had ho dcsiied it , whether Mr. Thurbton ud- in it ted it or not. This would have iiecn ho on the principle of justice in the distribution of honors. "I am very much surprised at Thurston's Interview. When ho came homo , ho pub licly made a epcc-ch , in which lie suited that CJh.irluy ( Jiceno Jlist concoivcd the idea of getting a chairmanship for Nebraska , and acknowledge his obligations lor Gieune's faupport in that behalf. In the interview , ho states ho has alwa\s had a warm pc-i- honul fojlmg of friendship for Mr. Groenu , yet , iiotuithstandmg these obligations and fee-lings ho deliber.iteh uml in thu moil colil- bloodt'd mannur pioceoil'i to attempt to bolit- tlu and humiliate Mr. Grucno. If all Thurs ton sa\s were absolutely true , and u portion of it is false and unjust , Mr. Tluir&ton is the last man who , under the clrcuniitanpcs , should give cunenoy to Mr. Gieono's allagod khorU'omiiijjs or misluken thiou 'h the col umns of tliti jiross.

According to an article which appeared in Suudny morning's Republican , County Commissioner Mount delivered himself of a very bilious discourse Saturday on the man ner In which Mr. Slmeral looks after the county's business. According to the urtlclo Mr. Mount claims that Mr. Snncral docs not look after the business of the county as bo should but wastes his time In preparing and submitting to the commissioners numerous reports that nro not required of him and that they do not care to receive. The failure of duty ho charges Mr. Simcral with is not collecting the back payments on the snlo of the lots of the poor farm. The facts in the case nro that the soml-an- mml report submitted to the commissioners Saturday afternoon called the attention of the commissioners to n fact that , it seems , comes a little close to Mr. Mount himself , uml for that reason ho would rather the re port lind never been submitted. The county attorney quoted the statutes to the commis sioners on the subject of letting the convicts in the Jail out to do convict contract work nnd thus earn their own board. The sugges tion was well taken by all of the commission ers , except Mr. Mount , nnd Mr. Slmcr.il was Instructed to prepare u resolution to let the convicts out to the city to do work , or take them to the bottoms to break stone for the county roads. It was this part of the report that touched Mr. Mount. Ho has always taken n very friendly Interest In the main taining of Sheriff Coburn's boarding house. The cost to the county of boarding the criminals for the month of December was almost tlS)0. ) Mr. Simeral wants to save the county this monthly board biU. When the effort was made to have the price of boarding criminals reduced fiom 75 audiiO cents per day to : )5 ) and 25 cents Mr. Mount recorded his nnmo ns beinu opposed to the re duction. Now that Mr. Mount sees that the Jail boarding bouse is liable to bo closed en tirely , ho gives vent to his feelings against the county attorney for his failure to do his legal duty. Any 0110 who has attended court during this teim knows very well that Mr. Simcral has been so occupied wUh criminal business that ho had no time to prcjiate pa pers in the beginning of suits against the men who nro itllinquent in the filling of their contracts In the poor farm purchases. Mr. Slmeral stated to u Bnii reporter j ester- day when asked about Mr. Mount's com plaint that lie had actud in the collecting of the money from the poor farm sale as anv man would liavo done in his own private business , "Tho men who nro back in their payments , " ho said , "aro almost all good responsible men and have each and every ono promised to pay the notes and have simply asked for a little time. The county is receiving 7 per cent on nil the paper and it is perfectly good , I don't dcsiro to millet any icports on the commissioners that they don't want to hear aud receive. The commissioners nro all glad to rcccivo such suggestions ns I made to them in my Saturday's report except Mr. Mount. The law does not require mo to prepare a report lit all but I feel it ns a part of my duty to do so. It adds a great deal of work to my regular work to do so but I feel that I am paid for it in ? the way the majority of the commissionois receive my reports and act upon mj suggestions. " PALAC13 OH11MIODUCT.S. hooking For a Site For the Great Nebraska Attraction. The stockholders of thePalaco of Products company had held a meeting at the board of trade jestcrday afternoon. The soliciting committee reported about ? 4,000 subscribed , but several books wore not in. The meeting was given up to nn informal discussion of plans and means , but without taking definite action in any respect. The project is embry onic as yet , and the preliminaries will re quire numerous meetings and much consulta tion in order that the many ideas may bo crystalizeci into feasibility. One of the first considerations is that of a location for the coming palace. Thus far two bites have been canvassed. One is at the corner of Faniam and Twentieth streets and the other is the exposition building. After the mooting adjourned the com mittee visited the latter to e- ainlno its adaptability for the purpose intended. The more they discussed it the more were they convinced that tins is the place looked for. The project now is to use not only the whole of the exposition , but also Capitol avenue between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. The asplialtum pavement does away with the necessity of constructing the floor , aud the piece of the street upon which the boomers have designs is eighty feet between the curbstones , 120 feet in full width , and 2i < 4 foot long. The idea is to leave the space between the exposition build ing and the not th curbing open and connect the two structures with bridges. H is bo- licved that the city will grant the use of the street , and no doubt is ontei tamed that the property owners and business men of the lo cality will co-operato heartily. The rather vague plan contemplates the use of both the exposition hall and the Grand opera house.
