Thuyor and John A. MeShano debuting the issues of the day jointly on the stumpy K union labor party of Una district have nomiimlcd , a gentleman by the name of iMlgerton us their candiduto for congress. Mr. Edgerton will derive y great deal more glory than profit from this nomination. Tins renders of the demooratic organs must bo gutting very tired of the chest nut about "Harrison's ono dollar a day for the workingmon. " It would bo a rather cheapsort of ft campaign ammu nition even if tlioro was anything in it. VKKMONT came up smiling last Tues day with an increased republican ma jority , cmphasi/lng Oregon's protest against free wool. This ought to so in vigorate Mr. Edmunds as to enable him to lake a hand in the national cam paign. AMONG the ono hundred ominonl American's who have boon immortalized in the Now York Metropolitan portrnii gallery Nebraska has ono roprofcontu- tlve Buffalo Bill. John M. Thurbton Charles F. Mandcrson , Mrs. Colby ami Jim Laird arc overlooked. LOOK out for an explosion at the noxl council mooting. The chairman of the judiciary committee is said to bo vorj emphatically opposed to the enforce ment of Chief Soavoy's order with regard gard to men who carelessly live with women without taking the trouble tc procure n mariago license. GENKUAL HOVKY , the republican candidate for governor of Indiana , has kept the political pot boiling at n vigor ous rate during the absence of General Harrison , and has shown himself n good deal more than a match for the domngoguo Matron. Trustworthy ad vices continue to report that Indiana is all inght for the republicans. TIIKKE is very blight encouragement for tlio people in piling up bills in congress - gross for the suppression of trubts and the punishment of those connected wltli thorn. Ono measure of this kind passed would bo worth a hundred tucked away In the pigeon holes of comimltco rooms , The people are beginning to distrust the sincerity of both parties in this mat- tor. BAUKUM'S show has taken about twenty thousand dollars out of Omaha , two thirds of which amount represents earnings of wage-workers. Would it not bo eminently proper to put an orn- barge on the cirqus by a high license' A thousand dollar license might kcoji snide alrciibcs out of Omaha , but a ly-bt class show could well afford to pay thai amount. Tnis most offensive instance of "of fonsive partisanship1' ' that has romc within our limited scope is Ohio Soavoy's order to Captain Green will regard to promiscuous marriage ntu licentiousness among professional am business men. That order should u once bo referred to the city attorney aniltho chairman of the committee on judiciary. - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TUB -city hna boon remarkably fret from serious olTonbos against the lav thus far during the present week. An influx of thieves and lawrbroakors wu : to have been expected , but they hav < either kept out or have found the field unfavorable , To tliu yxtont that this ii duo to the vigilance and olHcioncy o Omaha's , police force , which seems tc hayo boon excellently managed , i Should rocolvo full credit. Mil. MAYNEis no longer a citizen p Omaha , having tukon up his residonci in Iowa. This creates a vacancy in the board of publiu works which the mayoi and council should fill without delay , At this tim.o of the year , when opera tions on public works are most active , i is of vital importance that no vacancy should exist in the board. It is to be liopsd that the mayor wil ) select a mui of Energy , ability and integrity , whc will accept the position not so much foi the &ake of the salary us for the intores ho feels in securing n proper perform nnco of contracts on public works and An olllqont | supervision by inspectors pi eowors , pavements and public buildings , _ * ? A Grntitl Demonstration , Olnaha Is to be congratulated upon Urn demonstration made by the travel- jig salobtnou mid representative * of commercial and industrial ontorpritu , n the drummer parade. Our cittv.uus mil the vast concourse * ot people from ho section commercially tributary to , hls city , who witnessed the great p.x- atk % , now realize the magnitude of the ralllc of which Omaha has become the center. More than forty million dol- ars of wholesale trade aiul thirty mil- ion dollars in matiufaftiirlng iroduct ? ft year were represented in the ino of march , exclusive of thu live stock industry. It irood without s.iying that an Amoi'lt-an city of b.iroly thirty- five year * that is ctipiblo of such a demonstration cannot stand still. Ilur destiny as ono of the great cities of this continent is not problematic. It is a lixcd fact upon ft basis that cannot bo shaken. In the evolution of great cities there are always periods of depression and stagnation , but the impulbo of the purmanont growth continues and the momentum of vital energy never ceases. Among all the cities of the great west , Omaha is match less in her prospective development and steady expansion. Onward , still on ward ! is not a more motto with Omaha , but a living reality. The commercial salesmen and their asbociation deserve unstinted praise for making their first parade in Omaha n grand success. Hill Will Slick. No paper in the country is perhaps any nearer the confidence of the presi dent than the Now York Jfendd , and , through its Washington roprcbentative , Mr. Charles Nordhoff , it has been per sistently advising Governor Hill to withdraw as u candidate for renomina- tion. There is a quite general belief that if this counbcl is not inspired from the white houbo it is fully approved there. No one doubts that Mr. Cleveland - land would bo glad to have Hill out ol the way , but there are obvious reasons why ho does not dare to make nnv show of this desire for which ho could bo hold responsible. To do this would bo to cer tainly incur the hostility of thousands of Now York democrats who are de voted to Hill at whatever cost , and Mr , Cleveland knows that ho cannot afford ' this. On the other hand to seem tc tacitly acquiesce in allowing Hill to con tinue in the political arena is hurting the president with the independent allies of the democracy and a certain ot limited class of democrats , which is any thing but a pleasant experience at thi = time to Mr. Cleveland. In this dilommn Mr. Nordhoff is permitted to rolled the desire of the president without involv ing him , nothing being easier , wliatovci bhull become of Hill , than to show that the Washington representative of the Jlcmld , who really directs its political opinions , is alone responsible for his advice regarding New York politics Neither tlio friends of Mr , Cleveland nor the supporters of Mr. Hill , how ever , are deceived. But the advice , it is apparent , has had no effect upon Governor Hill , anO is not likely to have. Ho is going tc stay in the race , whether it pleases Mr , Cleveland or not. This is the assurance that comes from ono of his most inti mate friends and strongest supporters , It is claimed that there is no hostility whatever between the head of the na tional democratic ticket and the leader of the Now York democracy and that the latter will bo fount at the proper time doing big utmost foi the success of the former. This is t ma.tter of course if Mr. Hill shall agair be a candidate. The Now York democratic state coiv vontion will meet next Wednesday , ani there is every reason to ox.poct that i : will bo ono of the most interesting o the year , as it cannot fail to bo ono o the most important in its results. A this time the democratic party of Nev York is not harmonious. That it wil be to after itb convention has acted is improbable. The outlook for the republicans publicans in the pivotal btato ib far more favorable than it was at the corresponding - ing date in the campaign of eight yoai'i ago. Corn Will bo Kin- , Veteran exporters on the Now Yorl produce oxohango bny that it will bo ii our corn crop that the Kuropean demand mand first shows , itself in a marked degree greo , inasmuch as there is a much more pressing ncecbbity abroad just now foi * btablo food than for household supplies The European hay crop has been lester or nt least so damaged as to bo unlit foi ube , and American corn and fodder wil Imvo to bo taken speedily. There could bo no more welcome in formation for this section , and it will be especially reassuring to the farmord of Nebraska , who will have mort corn to boll this year than usual am can lind gopd use for the increased price it is certain to bringv It looks VOIM much now as if corn is to bo king foi a least the ensuing year. Tlio outlook i for dearer bread the world over , aw this means a moro extended use of con meal in place of Hour. The when dplleit in Europe can hardly bo supplict from the United States with the surplu now promised , and both for this roasoi and because of the inevitable increasei cost of Hour household supplies in mos countries for the next year will contaii a larger proportion tlmn common o corn meal. This , with the enlarged demand mand for corn for stable food in Europe will doubtless make a sure murlco for all this country bus to sell , am farmers who have raided corn will lliu a fair profit in their product. The batter the corn the better the price and tjio surer tlip market. Hercjt Nebraska farmers will have the advantage tago if the favorable conditions hoh out. Not only is there every probability that the corn crop in this state will b ( as largo as over before in Ufa history but of an average quality unsurpassed All promises are most fluttering for tin furiiun-baof Nebraska , and , therefore for the general prosperity of our people JHrcct From Indiana. A prominent merchant of this citi has jast received a letter from a per sonul friend in Indianapolis , who is n loading republican of long political ex perience , w'hlch gives an exceedingly uncouraglng statement of the situation in Indiana. The letter buys : Hl ns worn never moro llnttoritig at this ntngo of tlio K'liiio ' than they uro now for our currying liulluim. Tliero la great enthusiasm all over the state , uiul n very conslJoinblo number of democrats ( heretofore ) declare tfioir Intention to vote for Harrison. Our imity Is united , and every fiietion Is sntisile-d. Tlio labor vote Is , 1x3 It always Is , di vided , and while some democrats within sumo of the labor orKnntzatlotm nro trying to inalcu It appear that the labor vote Is opposed to Harrison , they linvc not succeeded hi do- inp anything. The soldier vote Is almost solid , uo fur as wo can 11 ml out. The prohi bition vote IB an unknown quantity , ami will eomo mostly from the republicans. Uiilcss something unforeseen shall happen , we are ns euro of Indiana as wo were In 1680. Our state Is vary close , and out of r > 2.\00 ( ) votes there are perhaps fifty thousand lloaters , the majority either way being from one to live and six thousand , but wo nro going to "get there. 1211. " I do not write for brag , mid would not purposely deceive jou. This is my candid opinion , gained by information from various sources and from our state cen tral committee. There can be no doubt that this is an entirely fair and candid statement of the situation in Indiana , as it is forti fied by other information equally trust worthy. It is entirely reasonable to expect - poct that Indiana will cast its vote for General Harrison , and wo do not sup- ] > ese that any intelligent democrat seri ously believes that his party will carry that state. Nowhere arc the conditions favorable to republican success stronger than in Indiana. THE report that the general manager of the Manitoba road is to supplant General Manager Stone of the Burling ton , and the incredulity with which the statement in received in certain railroad circles , tends to increase uncertainty in a matter in which the public is very greatly interested. It is noteworthy , however , that any report promising the retirement of Mr. Stone is received with gratification , a fact which ought to make a btrong impression on the stock holders and directors of the Q system. They ought to see that the restora tion of their road to the confidence of the public will bo a ditllcult and pro longed task with a manager who has involved the road , in an inter minable conflict with the Brotherhood of Engineers. So long as this conflict lasts the traffic of the road will Suffer , and public safety is constantly in dan ger. To restore the road to its former prosperity demands a revival of confi dence , and that never can bo restored as long at * Mr. Stone remains the head of its Derating department. IT is said that an emissary of the British government has been foi months past hobnobbing with our naval officers at Washington , his object being to obtain a knowledge of the construc tion of the now torpedoes which it is in tended to use for harbor defense. It leaked out a few days ago that ho had succeeded in obtaining the drawings ol all torpedoes and the appliances foi their use from the patent office , and sent them , with nil other information ho had acquired , to the war office at London. It is feared that ho knows all the secrets of the American torpodc system , and the war department is said to bo "all torn up. " In one way and another England scorns to bo doing quite well nt Washington. IT is demonstrated that people wil ! come to Omaha whenever the attrac tions are such as will draw them here , Once a year at least the metropolis ol Nebraska can depend upon entertaining from fifty to ono hundred thousand strangers if there is something special offered worthy of their attention , Every intelligent business man musi appreciate the importance to the citj and to h's ' own interests of such an in flux of non-residents ns wo nro haviqg this week. Before another year rolls round there should bo a thoroughly or ganized effort to provide attractions that at least once a year will make Omaha a mecca for a considerable pro portion of Nebraska's population. THE United States senate without r Delaware Saulsbury might bo just ii ! useful , but would it bo quite so interest ing1 ; This name has figured on the senate roll for wo do not know how ninnj generations , and there wore times whor it was both famous and notorious. Bui it is deemed to disappear. Saulsbury o Dolawr.ro will not bo re-olcctcd. Mr Bayard , knowing the uncertainty o : politics , has so arranged matters in hit little state that in the event of demo cratic defeat in the national election he can return to a scat in the senate , ane in any event can dictate a successor tc Snulbbury. The veteran legislator hn : had a long lease , and is old enough to b ( retired from active service. ONE of the most , extensivemillers , ii Minnesota , who has just returned fron a tour of Europe , says that only a per sonal observer can appreciate the terri ble ravages that the cold weather , rains and Into season have made on European larms.

Final disposition of the entries for the great Nebraska exposi tion will bo inado Friday and Saturday , and Monday morning nt B o'clock the doors will he formally thrown open. The fact that the exposition Is to bo prc-omlncntlv a Nebraska show guarantees an unusually largo attend ance and n tireless Interest. At no tlmo since there-cognized prominence ! of Nebraska ns an agricultural state has tbo general crop boon bolter than this year. From garden to Held the crops have been munificent. Generally the year has been ono of prosperity , and farmers as well as mechanics feel themselves able to contrlbuto items of Interest n.id to spend the week , or a portion of it , in swelling the magnificence of the attendance. The conditions for success are all promlslnir , and failure would bo next to an impossibility. The mammoth pumpkin and squash will como m for a Just share of admiration Side by sldo with them will bo found the whole vegetable world looking good enough to cat without dissection and preparation by Nebraska's famous housewives. Thu luscious melon can bo admired at a distance. Fruits rivaling the productions of California and Oregon m beauty , si/e and symmetry , and vastly superior in flavor , will tempt the small boy and cause the mouths of Adam's older sons and daughters to water. King corn In his finest samples will glisten as gold in the sun light , and wheat , r.\e , onts and barley , matchless In quality , will form no small at traction of the agricultural products on ex hibition. The glories of Nebraska's soil will bo displayed. Nothing is forgotten. The gold mines of the state have all been plucked. Lovers of the horse will find abundant op portunity to admire him in his matchless beauty. Draft and roadsters will bo on ex hibition. Norman , English Draft , Perch- eron and Clyde , with their wonderful muscular development , will furnish all the points necessary for intelligent discussion of the superiority of draft homo strains. The Morgan and Messenger will present their claims for superiority us general roadsters , while the Hamblatonlan family will stand grandly alone as the high est and best typo for speed. Imports from the principal European countries will contest for premiums , and some of the bust known breeders of this country will bo at the stalls to present the claims of their favorites. The arrangements for the exhibition of the horse , the king of domestic animals , could not bo better. The cntllo display will also bo line1. The very best strains of blood will bo on ex hibition. And , moreover , the prominence of Nebraska bred cattle will bemanifcst. From Jersey to Polled Angus , single and in herds , the farmer and stock raiser will have nn op portunity , such as is rarely offered , to make comparisons and form safe- and sensible con clusions as to which strain of blood is the better for general utility , The Holstein and Durham families must not bo forgotten. They may prove something more than the happy mean , the presumption of extremes having been given. The Jersey is known to be the "little milker , " whllo the Polled Angus rank wav up as beef producers. The hog , the heir apparent to king corn , must not bo lost sight of. As one of the sources of rs'ebraska'swondcrful prosper ity and wealth , he comes in for a Just share ol recognition. He will bo on display. A score of new pens had to be built lor his nc- commodntlon. Every breed of prominence will be represented. The hog vocabulary Is not very large , but it takes In the Chester White , Jersey Hod , Poland China and IJork- shire and the various crosses , all of which have become a part of the great exposition , and in which Nebraskans will take n high degree of interest. The sheep pens will bo fairly well filled , the merits of which will rest largely in wool and mutton producing qualities. Fowls in endless numbers and varieties will have n place on the grounds. But the aggregation cannot ba named. The attractions arc almost numberless. Call to mind what you would most like to sou of a great state's handiwork and you will find it among the attractions collected for the expo sition. Art will display its treasures. Al most the whole field will bo covered. Our mothers will invite and receive your approbation in their offotrs to please. From needle work to the culinary arts you will find thu impress of theirhands manifest. And then , remember , the great inventions of the ago can bo seen on every hand , alt com manding homage and respect. The old sickle is brought to mind and you seu tliu magnificent reaper in its stead. Every thing used on the farm during the seeding and harvesting time , artistically painted and decorated , will invite your inspection. Such a collection is rarely ever seen moro than oncu in a life time. There will also bo exhibitions of the finny tribes. To date over 5,000 entries in all the the departments have been mado.

The state board of transpoi tatlon met at the capltol this morning at 10 o'clock , as per ad journment. It will be icmombcred that to day was set apart for the hearing oi | tlio freight reduction order. Attorneys John AI. Thurston , W. U. Kelly , John M. Kaguii , John U. Hawley and F. M. Hall were present to look after the interests of their respective roads. The morning hours were spent in reading the answers of the different roads. It was n sleepy Job , and Judging from the list less attention given Clerk \Vanng as ho passed In his ruadjng from pugu to jiago of the voluminous documents , ono would Judge that thu whole business had been learned In detail by the parties inter ested , and that it was done to bo formal or to kill time. Hut Waring earned his dmnqr. When this part of the programme was throughn { recess was taken until , 2 o'clock. Tlio board came straggling In about tlio hour set for tlio afternoon session , but it was well nlgli U o'clock when business began to gripd. Secretary Munger suggested that If the ccuiiscl for aijy of tlio roads had any thing to say on thu question pf Jurisdiction it had better bo said during the settlement of preliminaries. General Lusu concurred. Hut it did not sqoin to suit Judge Thurston and ho said so. "If wo are going Into a trial. " said he , "all questions of law ought to bo heard at the close. " The blinking of his cs- sociatcs signified that they thought ; that his point had boon well taken , and it was finally decided that thus It should bo. "Hut , " again said Tnurston , ' 'does the board Intend that the defendants shall bccomo the plaintiffs In this hearing. " "Certainly , " Bald Let-so ; "when the order went out and the service was Iliadq you were called into court to show reasops why freight tariffs should not bo reduced. " An iinprussiva siioiicu followed the ( statement of the ut- toruov general , and blinking was the order for full live minutes. The remonstrances were than taken up and carefully read. Attention was manifest. It could bo scan that the clouds of the buttlq were beginning to gather , and tlmtbccmhigly muddled brains were clearing. Thus far the impression Is left that friends are being gauged on the ono hand , and on the other that forces aru husbanded tq meet tlio attacks ot the enemy. The attendance is modest. Hut little Interest Is manifested In the trial among the business men of the city. A co-oreiivTivu ASSOCIATION.

The cases will bo fought. Tliu idea of wasting an article that corrodes , plumbings , metres and everything it touches is perfectly absurd. The city ought to bo prosecuted for permit ting such water to pass through the public mains. Tliero would bo vastly more sense and Justice In n prosecution of this kind. Stephen Morgan and Delhi Pi Ice were nuviTicd this morning by Judge Stewart. Stephen was of lawful ago , but Delia was not. She was but seventeen years of age , but an orphan. To keep tlio law intact Mrs. May Morgan , the mother of the groom , was made tlio girl's guardian. Consent , of course , was granted , and the words were said that made thu haupy couple united lor better or for-worso. Kobort Morris of Pierre , Dak. , and May McXuely of Now York , la. , were also made husband and wife by the Judgo. AN OLD FLEMISH CITY. Some Sights That ni-o Stran c to n l-'orelRiier. Temple Bar : No one was in a Hurry. The very beggars Imd u lazy whine. The shop-keepers mostly stood at their doors , listlessly chewing the stalk of borne llowor or blaring before them with lack-lublrc eyes , while hummingii tune , nobly indillerent to business. Tlioro was ono curiosity shop that it was dilll- cult to pass , [ bojcraminod were its windows dews with carved ivory and carved oak , with brass and brotuo tortured into shapes beautiful and grotesque , with majolica ware and Japan porce lain , missals gorgeous with color , cobweb laces yellowed by ago and ancient weapons and books and other relics of the past. But here , too , the venerable owner of the&e treasures , with horn-rimmed bpcctacies to assist the bleared eyes , i > at in a high-bucked , fifteenth century chair , poring over a tome which was probably printed at a similar date , and scarcely deigned to glance at the stranger who was inspect ing lib slock in trade. It was delight ful to mark the indolent enjoyment ot the rod-shlrtcd boatman who lay lan guidly smoking on the raised poop of the gaudy barges which lay moored hero and there on the wide canals , the quays of which were shaded by limo trees , amid tbo rustling loaves of which the bees hummed noisily. It was hard to believe that this was thu bustling , feverish , nineteenth century , and that our own insular Babylon was but a few hours' journey from the drowsy town. At hibt , however. I found mybolf in a street wider than the rest , along which painted country wagons , full of lacc- cuppcd and kerchiefed maids and mat rons , of brass cans , baskets anel empty cratcb , wore jolting ana rattling with thunderous din over stones , drawn by sleek , wild-looking horses , which boomed to wear the minimum of harness and the maximum of bells , and which pranced and snorted in their exultant strength. Those belonged evidently to well-to-do peasants , who had sold their poultry and their tame rabbits , their butter and general dairy produce , and were now returning to the far-oil farms whore they dwelt , among the polders , and the willows , and wind-mills , and Hat meadows , grazed by red and white kino. Von Moltko. Blakoly Hall in Now York Sun : But ono of the most notable of the wonder ful old mon of Germany is Von Moltko. Wo could leurii a Icsbon or two from the Germans concerning the value of mon. In the United States a man is shelved at seventy. When he bus reached that ago in the German em pire it is absumed that his faculties have reached their fullest develop ment , and that his wisdom will then beef of the highest value to the stato. At all events , ho is lifted to power and importance - portanco , and the reins of government lie in his hands to the very last. Al though Von Moltko is nearly eighty- four years of ago , ho is us active as though but forty. Very often , in Ber lin , 1 walked up to the war ollico after breakfast , just for the pleasure of see ing the old marshal go to work. There was always a little crowd around the door waiting for a glance at the fa mous commander , and when he jumped out of his carriage and walked briskly into the big building that is known as the brain of the army , because a l the planning of that great organi/.ation goes on there , he usually walked between - tweon two line.s of people. Ho smiled with invariable good imtiuo at the crowd , and occasionally btopnod to Icih.- , the ruddy cheek of a child ir its mother pushed it forward for the honor. Then ho trotted into the ollico , and half an hour "later could bo sce i hurrying along the corridor with his hands full of huge olllcial look ing paper , as huru at work as though ho had not earned a robt by so many years of toil. Like the sturdy old Blbinarc'k , Hlumoiithnl and the rest of those won derful old men , Von Moltko rises at 7 in the morning , retires early at night , sleeps on a hard cnmii bedbteud , eats lit tle and drinks lobs. This military regi men undoubtedly has much to do with the amazing vigor which they all show. To speak of u man of eighty as l > old , " in Berlin , is to cause a general hensation of surprise , pity and indignation. A Novel Kiitui-ininmcnt.
