( HAND ISLAND will have the honor of firing the first gun in the campaign lo bo formally opened by the republican league of the state on September 8. Mr. Ci.KVK.r.AND Is not winning golden opinions from either democrats or republicans in vetoing public build ing bills for thriving western cities. DOUGLAS County will got all she wants and more than she asks for at the democratic state convention , but it is a concession that docs not promise a very rich reward. WAHNKH Minnsit will just put David B. Hill , of Now York , in his republican grist and grind him into very small atoms when the gubernatorial election in the Empire state takes pluco. Mil. POPPLETON vo'ry respectfully de clined to bo the figurehead of the democratic state ticket. Mr. Popploton differs in opinion with the Herald on the prospects of the democrats elect ing a govohior or any other state olllcor. COUNCILMAN ALKXANDUK has his eyes open to the immediate necessities of the city , and his resolution to inves tigate ) the mothodsof disposing of gar bage in other cities with a vlowof build ing a crematory in Omaha Is timely and judicious. THE KANBAS CITY board of trade and business men ccnorally are giving the railroad managers some very plain talk with regard to their now departure in resuming tne slow conch passenger train service between Chicago and the Mis souri river. But Omaha is always willing I f ing to submit to any injury and injustice at the hands of the road's rather than assort herself and protect her interests. PRINTING monthly publications ol the council's ordinances at the rate ol $100 pormonth is a senseless ploco ol extravagance. Very few copies of those ordinances find their way into the hands of citizens. And as the ordi nances are published in the ofllcinl paper , there is certainly no excuse whj the city should go to needless expanse of reprinting the sama a month or six weeks after their appearance in the press. UtTilK Kooloy Motor company for the fortieth time called upon the courts ol Philadelphia , last week , to force Mr Kooloy to forthwith disclose the secrc of his discoveries and to take immcdl nto stops to patent his inventions. Tc this Mr. Keoloy replied , that if tin stockholders didn't joavo him alone h < would abandon the work entirely. It ii getting painfully evident to Mr. Kooloy'i dupes that ho is as big a crook as ho i a crank , and that the perpetual motlor so far discovered is the motion of Mr Kooloy'a hand into Iho stockholders pockets. Tin : third party in Nebraska , knowr ns the prohibition party , is not satisfied with the submission plank in the re publican platform. No sane man ovoi expected that it would bo.

It is no satisfied in Iowa and Kansas , whore prohibition amendments have boor submitted , adopted and reinforced bj iron-clad laws. The third party dooi not propose to bo satisfied with any thing short of the breaking up of UK republican party and a division of olll cos and patronngo among the thin party agitators.

In the Plvotnl State- . The republicans of Now York did vhat had boon expected In nominating' ox-Senator Warner Miller ns their can didate for governor. Immediately after .ho national convention , in which Mr. filler presented'lho muno of Levl P. Norton , it came to bo understood that ho ox-senator was the choice of a largo najoilty of the loading republicans of .he Kmpiro stnto lo lead the guberna torial fight , that ho was especially do- slrod In that relation by Mr. Morton , in el that ho would encounter no op position. Ills nomination by nccliima- , ion attested the corrcctne&sof the fore cast. cast.Tho The wlbdom of this action will not bo questioned by any ono who is at all 'amillar with the popularity of Mr. Millar In Now York. Ho possesses the respect and confidence of all classes. A nan of largo wealth and extensive busi ness connections , no ono stands better with the financial and business men of , ho stato. The industry with which ho s principally identified has brought ilm into inlimato business relations with the farmers and ho is strong with them. Ho has always been just and [ onerous to the labor ho employed , ; inel thus is commended to the support of workingmen. A liberal man , who has given largely lo numer ous worthy causes , ho will have the tieurty support of a largo number of ( Mjoplo regardless of politics. There is no blemish on his public record or his private character , and ho is the peer in ability of any democrat in Now York. It will thus bo been that Warner Miller possesses exceptional availability as a candidate , besides which ho is a polit ical organizer and manager of great skill and sagacity. If Hill is renomi- nated by the democracy , which now teems altogether likely , four-fifths of the independent vote will go to the re publican candidate. This the or gans of that vote have promised , assur ing the democracy that the election of Hill would bo impossible- with Miller against him. But in any event the chances will bo largely In favor of the republican candidate , for if Hill bo re jected there will bo thousands of his devoted - voted followers who will refuse to sup port any other candidate , whether ho shall bo the preference of Mr. Cleveland - land or not. With a most available candidate , and a platform framed to suit the vast in dustrial interests of Now York , while speaking clearly and explicitly on all publlo questions ; with the party har monious , confidant and well or ganized , ami with the opposition fretted by doubt , division and disaffection , the political situation in Now York as it is tit present revealed , warrants the ut most confidence in republican success so far as Iho battle for the state admin istration is concerned , and it would bo most remarkable if winning in this the party should not also win for the na tional ticket. All the reports that como from'Now York regarding the trend of the political current are in the highest * degree reassuring to re publicans , even candid democrats admitting that there is little hope of their party carrying the stale this year , and that it must make a bravo effort to olTset this probable lobs by car rying some of the western and north western states. Mr. Cleveland , however - over , has settled the fate ot his party in those states by his buncombe retalia tion message , conceding that before that there was the least possible clmnco of his carrying any ono of them , and from now on democratic effort there will bo as sheer a waste of time as would bo republican effort in the south. Without Now York the very best the democrats can'hopo for is ono hundred and sixty-eight electoral votes , and the very strong present indications nro that they will got no more than the assured one hundred and fifty-three of the solid south. Generous Contributions. A couple of weeks ago Colonel Brlco , chairman of the democratic nationa campaign committee , was ill at ease and made public avowal of his feelings. A chief bourco of his trouble was the fact that there was a rapidly growing de mand upon him for campaign litera ture and no means wore being provided with which to meet the demand. About the same time Mr. Wattorson , who is also personally concerned in the man agement of the campaign , publicly ex pressed his displeasure with the apparent indifference of the presi dent regarding the preliminary business of the canvass. Ho complained that Mr. Cleveland did not seem to have any concern about what the campaign managers were doing , and neither came to their aid nor of fered them any sympathy in their la bors. The very pointed remarks of those gentlemen made an imprcbslon in Washington , and very soon after their publication Colonel Brlco passed several days with Mr. Cleveland. The result , It appears , was a contribu tion by the president for campaign pur poses of the very generous sum of ion thousand dollars. The report of EO largo an amount was naturally received with incre dulity by nil who understand that Mr. Cleveland Is not a lavish glvor , but in quiry in quarters whore the fact should bo known loaves little- doubt that the national committee received the presi dent's check for the sum stated. It scorns , also , that thU liberality on the part of the president was emulated by several members of his cabinet who nro In a position to part with a year's salary without distressing themselves "finan cially , and that better still , Chairman Brice and Congressman Scott each doubled the contribution of Mr. Cleveland - land , as they could very well afford to do. The financial outcome of the plaints of Colonels Brlca and Wattorson is placed at the grand total of $120,000 , contributed by lees than a score of parsons. It is a very handsome beginning. But of course this sum is a bagatelle. It would not suffice to meet the de mands for the campaign of the single state of Now York. Perhaps twenty times the amount will bo required to effectively carry on the work of the can vass in all the states where the cam paign managers shall deem it nocosshry to expend money. A considerable part i * * i v of this must bo obtained from Iho ono Iffindrod thousand olllco holders , and it was necessary that these should bo furnished tin example of duty and a , suggestion of their obligation. This Mr. Cleveland and his cabinet otllccrs have done. Besides emphasizing his own great concern in the political con test , the president has virtually said to all whoso olllclal tenures nro contingent upon democratic succcbs that they nro expected to giyo a substantial evidence of their desire for the success of that parly. They need hold back no longer because of any question ns to the pro priety or bafety of contributing. What the president may do in this respect it Is equally the privilege of the humblest otllcc holder under the government to do. The way is made clear , and those who would walk therein have but to obtain Iho address of the national commltteo and scud on thoirremiUnncoobborving the snfo conditions that It shall bo as liberal ns the salary of the remitter will justify and that it shall bo sent by reg istered letter or money ordor. Mr. Cleveland not only wants nsecond term , but ho wants it very much. This isono suggestion of his ten thousand dollar contribution. Another is that he has become convinced that something very much mora substantial than his luclc is ii'jcessarv to success. Wnrkliif-iiitMt in I'ulitlci. The printers of Omaha ronstltuta a body of men too intelligent to allow itself to bo used for political purposes. 'Vho union is capable of taking caroof the union's Inter ests , but is not doing the catspaw net for auybody. lie rahl. For whom has the printers' union been acting oatspawV What right has any paper to cast reflections on the otll ccrs of the union unless there are sub stantial grounds for so doing ? Above all things why should the organ of Ne braska demounioy attempt to arraign the printers' union or its officers for ex orcising the right which they possess in dividually and collectively as citizens ? It is tin old adage that a Bourbon never learns anything , and hence never for gets anything. Our Bourbon contem porary is no exception. Has it for gotten that the printers of Now York waged bitter and unrelenting war upon James G. Blaine in 1884 , simply because ho woa supported by the New York jfn'bioic , and was an intimate friend of Whitelaw Reid ? The Now Yorlt print ers , in fact , claim credit for the elcfcnt of Mr. Blnino and the overthrow of the republican party , and seek to justify their course on the ground that the jfV/emttc / , which was the leading Blnino supporter in New York , was an enemy of organized labor , and especially of the typographical union. The same course was pursued in Cleve land two years ago by the union print ers when they opposed and defeated the local republican ticket because the Cleveland Leader was at war with the union. This retaliatory policy on the part of the union printers in warring against candidates because papers friendly to them were enemies of the printers is hardly justi fiable. It was clearly an attempt to punish innocent parties for the sins of their friends. But suppose that Whltolaw Reid was candidate for state treasurer in Now York. Does our bourbon coiitompory imagine that the printers would remain indifferent look ers on ? Would they not enter a lively protest against him , and if ho was nom inated , make a vigorous and organized effort to defeat him ? The executive committee of the Om aha printer's union may have exceeded its authority under strict union rules. They may have been too zealous in try ing to retaliate politically upon a can didate who sought to break up the union , but there is not a scintilla of proof that they acted as catspaws for anybody , and there is precedent for their course when the office involved something moro than a state treasurer- ship. ship.Right Right hero lot us remark that all this gabble about keeping organized labor out of politics is the veriest bosh. Are not all political parties constantly bid ding for the vote of the worklngmonV Do they not all claim to bo the friends and saviors of the laboring man ? Are not all their platforms full of planks tc catch and trap the workingman ? When organized labor docs take a bold hand once in awhile , the demagogues and hypocrites raise their bunds in horror and cry down the men who have the manhood to oppose candidates who have shown themselves to bo un friendly to labor. The truth of the matter , boiled down , is , that the printers who are trying to apologize for the conduct , of their ox- eculivo committee , have made fools of themselves in casting discredit upon their officers , and indirectly upon their union. AT A recent mooting of the cotton planters of Tennessee and Mississippi at Memphis it was resolved not to use jute bagging nt present prices and tc substitute staves in its place. This action was deemed necessary in view o : the fact that the manufacturers of jute bagging had formed a tr st nml nel- vanced the price of bagging. In the stand taken by the planters , the trus' ' has evidently been checkmated. If the cotton growers can succeed in finding i substitute as serviceable and as cheap u : jute baggitig , it will bo a well deservei punishment moled out to the jute manufacturers. At all events the trus' ' will bo anxious to compromise the qucs tion of price if it becomes at all appa rent that the demand for jute bagging diminishes. If the people of the coun try who are compelled to bear the yoke of the sugar trust , the coal trust tine the like could follow the example o the cotton growers by finding a substi Into for buch noqcBsurics , the days ol trusts would soon bo numbered with the past. _ THE Hon. Roger Q. Mills , in his Chicago cage speech a few days ago , wont bad thirty-two years for an example of dem ocratic regard for the rights of Atner ican citizens. Ho cited the case o Martin Kosta , n Hungarian who hat declared his intention to bacomo ar American citizen , and who on visiting his native..land was arrested by the Austrian authorities. This happeneel during the administration ofPreeidpnl * Picrco , and it islruo that the course of the government in demanding and se curing the .roll'nso of Kosta was in the highest degivq coinmotid- ablo. In thee days both parties were equally zealous in pro- tooting the rights of American citizens in foreign lands. But the incident of thirty-two year ; } ago only servos to em phasize the shortcomings of the present administration In this regard , since there have boon a number ef cases under It of outrages to American citi zens in foreign countries whore no ad equate effort has boon made to secure redrebs , or oven to require a satisfac tory explanation and apology. It is not good service to Messrs. Cleveland and Bayard to cite the example of past democratic administrations in the mat ter of protecting American ulti/.ens abroad. Slioxvs /Jmllnpfmi llaidtrye.

Western Rcnellng Tor Eastern men. Chicago Tribune : There Is evidently a difference of opinion between some eastern statesmen and the republicans of Nebraska , a difference so radical that it it hard to see how it ean bo reconciled. It is certain that it is not the farmers of the state just across the Missouri river who nro going to recede from the ground they have assumed , but it is possible that your eastern friend , after sec- lug the attitude of the party , state and na tional , and after giving the subject moro than n moro passing investigation , may bo led to modify his own views. The republicans of Nebraska , In their state convention held Friday , reassert for it is not the first tune they have expressed themselves on the subject : Their opposition to nil combinations of cap ital organised in trusts or pools to control trade and fix prices on nn arbitrary bastsniui demand the requisite national and state leg islation for tbo suppression of the same and the removal of all obstacles to the perfect freedom ana independence of American labor. The east and west are as fur asunder as the polos. Mulno is not certain that trusts are "altogether" disadvantageous. Nebraska demands the suppression of nil trusts , nnd bcnco believes them all disadvantageous. Muino docs uot think private citizens have any particular right to interfere ) with them. Nebraska thinks private citizens have a right to demand their suppression. Maine rather pooh-poohs the whole subject. Nebraska makes it the text of a party platform and makes opposition to trusts a part of its politi cal creed. Tlio cast and the west are sadly at odds on this point , but the west has the heaviest battalions on its side. The fact cannot bo ignored that there is no doubt as to the position of the republican party con cerning trade monoiKilics and combinations. It has been clear-sighted enough to see in them , whatever tuoir eauso muy bo , a source of evil to the country , second only to that threatcneel domination of slavery from which it freed the nation. , ' I'OLilTlOAIj POINTS.

The MetpopollUn Prohibition club had their regular meeting Tuesday nt night Flf- tocnt and Dodge streets. How to dlspo o of certain bills and misunderstandings Incident to tbo recent state convcntiou.hold in this city , occupied most ot the evening. A bill of $50 , presented by the state central committee for paying ox-Governor John P. St. John for ser vices as a lecturer was regarded by the club as an item coining moro properly under ex penses assumed by the state organization. It was decided not to pay the demand. The president of the club , prohlbBlonnoinlnoctoor lieutenant governor.John Dale , then referred to charges recently made In certain Omaha papers alleging that the democrats furnished the funds with which to carry out the prohibition campaign in 18S-1. Mr. Dale said ho had answered those charges by letter , in which ho pledged himself to throw off allegiance to tlio pro hibition movement , if the editors of the pa pers in question could satisfactorily prove their assertions.

The Chinese , like their artistic broth ers of Japan do fromp vorv clover wood work , a fact which is remarkable when ono considers the awkward and clumsy tools which they use. Their saws nro nil like our common buck-haws , although they uro sharpened like a rip-saw. The chisels are clumsy and poorly tem pered , and the planes are largo , having to bo pushed with both hands. While at work the Chinese carpenters assume positions which are singularly awkward and would bo impossible to any one but a Chinaman. In planing a piece of wood on a carpenter's bone'h of the or dinary length they stand with one foot on the ground and the other steadying the wooden block while the hands are engaged in shoving the piano. Much of their work is done sitting. A niillolcHH Ilrlde.
