With the exception of the plank tin demands the submission of the quostic of a prohibitory amendment to the coi s'titution , the platform will commend i self generally as sound doctrine f < republicans. The insertion ( the plank pledging the repul licans in the next legislature to vote fi submission is ill advised and calculate to embarrass tlio candidates for tlio lej islaturo in every district where publi sentiment is adverse to any nttoni ] to tinker with prohibition , li state convention resolution ca override the obligations of roprcsoi tntives in the legislature to cast the voteson temperance legislation contrai to the known wishes of their iinmodiai constituents. The proper platte to pass resolutions instructing eai didates for the legislature i to their course on any issi is the county or district convention. On the subject of trusts and pools an on railroad regulation the platform do < not speak with an uncertain sound. Tl demand for a uniform law making nit hours a legal working day in Nobraski the recommendation to establish an ai nual labor day , and the demand for lav that will prevent tlio importation an employment of Pinkerton morcoiiario will bo received favorably by working men and should meet the approval of a classes of citixens.

The intimations thrown out in tl senate during the discussion of the flsl orios treaty , that the president contoi : plated a policy of retaliation purs anco of the authority given him 1 congress , should the treaty bo rojoctt and the Canadian authorities rosun an attitude of hostility to Amcricn fishermen , nro shown by the messaj sent to congress on Thursday to luu been well founded. Mr. Cleveland ni nounces in language as plain and dire as could bo desired that he shall IK hesitate upon proper occasion to 01 force the act of the la congress , authorizing him undi certain defined circumstances 1 proclaim commercial non-intercoun with Canada , and ho urges that if tl occasion shall arise for doing this tl policy of retaliation should bo unlim ted in its scope and vigorous in Us pro edition. Llis suggestion is that if shall become necessary for this govori mont to act in the way contemplated i blows should bo struck so hard and i earnestly as to hurt. In order that this may bo done M Cleveland calls upon congress for add tional legislation enlarging his pow < to put in execution such a retail ) lory policy us ho thinks wi bo most effective in doir the greatest amount of damage to Cm ada. The existing act ho regards as ii adequate and not likely to produce tli results whiuh would bo expected from policy of retaliation. It cannot I denied that ho reasons the case wol but ho does not carry absolute eonvl tion of tlio necessity of going any farth ( at this time than Uo has the author ! to do under the act of congress passe in March , 1887. If necessity shoul arise , before the second session of tli prcsent.congross assembles , for docla Ing non-intercourse the oxpod oncy of more drastic logisl tion could bo inoro judiciously dote mined than now , and the next session i congress is not fur oil. The America people will approve every effort of tl government to assort and mnintai their rights guaranteed by treaty , b > there is no anxiety to aggravate tl issue to the point of hostilities. Whc it shall bo shown that the just and re sonablo authority given the prosidoi to retaliate by a policy of partial noi intercourse is not effective In indm ing Canada to respect the righ of American- citizens , it wl then bo llmo enough to pn vide a more summary way i dealing with our obstinate and obtu : northern neighbors. If the prcsldon will do his full duty under the author ity ho has H is more than probable thn there will bo no necessity for grantitij him larger powers. It is impossible to determine wholh'c Mr. Cldvcland's menace to Canada I ontlryly sincere , and llisplrod by a earnest doslrtj to protect the rights c American citizens , or was prompted n a political move designed to reivssur the waning confidence of a class < voters especially hostile to all Knglls interests. It is altogether natural thn tlio latter construction should bo pi upon it , in view of the past toleration i outrages which uro confessed in tli message. It may not bo a long time be fore the question of the president's sii eerily is tested. Canadian papers sn that Canada has no alternative but t revert to the stipulations of the convoi : tion of 1818 , and undoubtedly this wi bo done. The president's menace wi bo mot with defiance , and measured 1. pledges of British support , alreaf promised by leading English papers c certain to bo given , the Canadian at thoritios will renew the past policy an reopen the difficulty in a pel haps more hostile form than bi fore. It will then bo seen whether Mi Cleveland really intends to use th authority given him for assorting th rights of American citl/.ons , or hi merely made a bid for votes and pri pared to justify non-action by the cluii that his authority is not adcquati Meanwhile there is reason to bolie\ that this matter may force an issue tin will profoundly interest the whol country. _ _ A IMniisfhlo Humor. It is very evident that the stockhoh ers of tlio Chicago , Burlington fc Quino railroad are disbtUislled with the polic of its directors , and there may b something in the rumor that Get oral Manager Stone will bo rcquesto toresli'ii , and that the promotion i Mr. lloldrego of our city will follow. The bad financial showing of the rou since tlio engineers' strike , the ui promising future , and the utter failur of the management to compromise th difficulty , huvo frightened the stocli holders to sound a retreat from th position taken up by the directors tini the general management. When th bold front was as-mined against the en ginecrs it was the boast ot the director that the contest would bo short am sharp , and end with complete victor , for the road. The stockholders wer encouraged with glowing statements The fight against the engineers was on in whicli the brotherhood would lear that the company was master of the sit nation. To concede the demands < the engineers would bo a confession c weakness. Under the generalship ( Mr. Stone the Burlington wont into th contest with a full treasury and lluslie with confidence. It has oomo out , after six months , dc feated at every point , and with a del cionoy in its treasury unparalleled i the history of railroading. The sitiui tion seems at present to warrant change in the disastrous policy of th road. If Manager Stone arid the dire < tors can extricate the company from it difficulties , and can make such concc : sions to the brotherhood as will estal lish cordial relations , tlio Burlingto will emerge from the light as gracefull , as it can. If tliis cannot consistently bo done tlio stockholders , clamorous for thei dividends , may bo expected to put ui > now nmnatromont , and in that case , un doubtedly Mr. Holdrego would bo th choice. Ho is said to have the conl donco of the stockholders .and to hav all along deprecated the stand take against the brotherhood. Oilier Ijnmlri Tlinii Ours. The hearty nnd unmialllloil terms in whic Mr. Gladstone declared his full conflilcnc in the personal honor of Parnoll is tcstimon which will bo universally accepted. Tli grout statesman bus hud the bust of oppoi turilty to know the distinguished Irish Icadci anil ho is the last man who would give sue testimony if ho had a single doubt rogai-din its justice.

It could scarcely do other wise , lu some things the profits were si small that they could easily bo eaten up bj this tariff. A way to overcome the objcctioi was for the retail man to do his own haul ing , as many of the retail merchants in Omaha did. All of the latter , however , dii not do this. As a consequence there wu1 still in force a custom introduced many yean ago when the boundaries of the city ou th ( north and south wore Cuming and Pacific that of the wholesalers delivering goods free of charge. This is foreign to tin custom in all largo cities. These the retailer * call for or pay for the cartage of tlioir pur cluises. The retention of this custom cos Bomoof the houses $20) ) u month.

In this < -ui all the firms could store away their goods Mr. McClintock agreed to the proposition and ull the Jobbers will bo requested to ] oir In tlio se-hemo , and it may yet result m all o them contributing , pro rutu , to tlio expense af the scheme , whicli at current rate * wil be 10 cents per 100 pounds.
