AIIKN'T our democratic friendK a liltlo promnturo in calling John , Governor McShauc ? Govr.UNOuTHAYKK will presently bo in Omaha to face his assailants , und we pivdict that ho will he something more than "a reminiscence" when he gets through with them. EVKUY member of the legislature from Douglas county should bo pledged to do away with the stiporlluous co t- jnllls run by shysters who hold com missions as justices of the peace. O Omaha's example the merchants of Nebraska City are build ing a roadway across the river bottoms to induce Iowa farmers to trade with them. The advantages will be mutual. PuisinKNTCiKVKtAM > has decided not to make any campaign speeches. That is not only commendable on the part of the executive , but it shows how Impossible it is for Dan Lament to speak out of Mr. Cleveland's mouth. NKIIIIASKA CITY seems to bo making rapid strides this year in improvement commercially , and is reaching out for every advantage in sight. Chances are good that the oldest city in the state will yet be one of the greatest. TIIK precinct assessor should not bo overworked this time. Dishonest and partial assessors have done incalculable linrm lo the lax payers by imposing burdens upon people who can least boar them , and making ridiculously low ns- Bossmonts for the wealthy property owners and corporations. OwiN'ci to the great coal strike now in progress in England the price of coal lias advanced two shillings per ton. "With the prospects of dear bread and dear coal , the outlook is decidedly se rious for the English workingman. A demonstration of the unemployed and discontented in Trafalgar Square , such ns took place this spring , may bo looked for at any moment as the first mutterings - ings of the storm. TIIK grand conunaiidery Knights Templar of Iowa , has openly rebelled ngaiust the new ritual adopted by the late triennial conclave , and will stand l > y the old one. Their course is con- Mdcred by the commandcrios of ncigh- Imring slates as revolutionary , and the Jown knights have boon denied fellow ship. What the outcome will be cannot lie foreseen , but the disruption will be Switched with great interest by mem- liers of the order throughout the country. THE extent to which Dakota is attract ing immigration may bo judged from one item in the report of Governor Church , which states that during the past year two million and a half acres lf public land wore purchased and en tered for settlement. This is not Mrange. Dakota is part of that great bolt of wheat land which stretches from Minnesota to Oregon and to which all the oyca of the oppressed agricultur ists of Europe are turned ns the one region In the world whore certain pros perity walls upon Industry and perse verance. There is a tremendous future for this group of states and terri tories. AMOKO other absurd inventions , the German democratic daily of this citj lias several times repeated the baseless charge that W. J. Connell is responsible for the provision of the charter which places the appointment of the police commission in the hands of the gov ernor. This is not a very serious in dictment oven if the charge wore true except so far as it places Mr. Council in the ( also position of refusing to trust the people with the election of this commission. Hut the charge is abso lutely false. The charter as drawn bj Mr. Council and adopted by the committee teeof fifteen , provided for the appoint ment of the commission by the mayor , 71iis was stricken out at the instance o ] flio rowdy editors , ono of whom , Prank Jl , Morriosoy , is now running for the legislature on the democratic ticket. U'hey , nnd not Council , had the appoint- fnont of the police commission placed 4nto the hands of the governor , because they confidently expected that Gov ernor Thayer would allow the combine lo diotato the commissioners. This is jtuu truth of history. Tim prffAL OA'SLV , The remaining two weeks of the na tional campaign will undoubtedly bo a icrlod of extraordinary political ac- Ivlty in oveiy part of the country , and especially so in the doubtful states. J'hero Is reason to believe that the democratic managers arc getting ready to make a final onset of unparalleled vigor and aggressiveness. Everywhere .hey arc urging contributions from of- Ice holders and are putting their re- juoils in such a form that thosn who re ceive them must see the expediency of naking prompt and liberal response. While the olllco holders are told lhat they cannot bo compelled to contribute , they nro also informed that great care will bo taken to preserve a record of those who do contribute , so lhat their service lo the party shall not be for gotten. The Indications are that the purpose of the democratic managers is to amaus a large fund that will be dis- ljursod with a most generous hand , where it is thought il can do the most , 'ood , in the closing days of the canvas. In other words , the plan appears to bo Lo create an immense corruption fund 'or us-o especially in New York and In- liana in buying votes and colonizing voters. There is always a very con siderable clement in the larger cities of the former state whoso votes tire Tor i-ale , and it is not lo bo doubted that democratic money will bo 'rcoly used there this year in buying up this element. As to Indiana the danger is from colonization , but the republi cans being forewarned should be able to prevent this democratic expedient from being carried on to a very serious extent. The danger is also somewhat reduced this year by the fact that the laws of Indiana for punishing this form of election fraud have been made very strong and severe , and it is not proba ble that so many Kentuekians as in former years can be induced to go to the aid of tlie Indiana democrats. Wo do not believe , however , that any efforts the democratic managers inny now make can materially help their cause. Itis doubt ful if even the appearance of Mr. Cleve land on the stump , which is reported to bo intended , would enable the party to recover much of the ground it has lost. The probabilities nro all against the democracy carrying Indiana , and tlio most trustworthy advices s > ay that Con necticut , will go republican beyond a peradvcnturo. Conceding to the repub lican party all the states carried i'n 1881 , and nobody having an intelligent opin ion seriously doubts that these stales will bo republican this ycar-and only Indiana and Connecticut will bo re quired toelect Harrison and Morton. But as the situation now looks the republi cans have a much better chance of car rying Now York than have the demo crats , and while it is possible that some thing may occur within the next two vreeks to change this aspect it is more reasonable to suppose that the repub lican chance will continue to improve. At any rate , there is before us two weeks of as lively political work as this country has ever known and it is to bo expected that it will develop some in teresting sensationa. To the men who live largely by politics it will bo the harvest season of the campaign. AX1) STATEHOOD. The citizens of Montana are intor- esled in the presidential campaign nom inally to the extent of the election of a delegate to the house of representa tives , but in reality their future pros pects are vitally concerned. The ques tion of admission to the union as a stale , which is felt so keenly in Dakota and Washington Territory , Is beginning to warm the hearts of the people of Mon tana also. And the democratic candi date for delegate is taking advantage of this newly aroused sentiment to tempt Montana men in the true vein of n Mcplnstopholes. Ho dare not address his fellow citizens , who raise sheep , on the Mills bill , for they are furious at the prospect spread before them by that most asinine of legislators. In Mon tana there is little market for mutton , and the only inducement to raise sheep is in the clip. As the wool must bo sent a long distance to manufacturing points. if free wool should become the law of Ihe landtho sheep men of Montana would simply be ruined. The cosl of transportation would more than ollsot the cheapness of raising. Neither does Air. Clark dare to talk to his audience about silver or lead , and the production of thcso two metals is Montana's chief industry. It is not necessary lo state what has boon the policy of the admin istration with regard to silver and lead , for it has been notoriously , infamously adverse to the mining interests of Colorado and Montana particularly. Being forced to absolute silence on these points Mr. Clark has wisely ad dressed himself to the budding wish of Montana to become a stale. The burden of Mr. Clark's argument acorns to bo that Montana's admission would not bo opposed by congress or vetoed by Mr. Cleveland in case of his re-election , if by the election ot a demo cratic delegate Montana gave some as surance that she would be a democratic state. Some of his hearers remarked subsequently to the declaration of this view that Montana would bo admitted in any case If the republicans obtained the control of the country , by reason of the strong follow feeling among all the wronged territories of the northwest , which would insure common treatment for all of them. As this was felt lo bo true , a friend of the democratic candi date cnmo forward to urge that even in that case there would bo a largo demo cratic minority that would maito the most desperate efforts to prevent the admission of such n body of republican states as would be furnished by Wash ington Territory , Idaho , Montana and perhaps two Dakotas. Suoh an acces sion to the republican-ranks would give the republicans unquestionable control of the country. Therefore this gentle man argued that Montana should go democratic , because in that case the territory would bo sure of both parties , of the republicans in any case , and ol the democracy if Montana belonged to them. The pcoplo of Montana may rest as sured that the desperate efforts of a Iwaten party arc formidable only to themeolyaa. It is not uocossiry to re fute such logic. But as' n specimen of what can be said by a democrat heavily linndicappcd by the nets of the admin- atrntion , it also affords n brilliant ex- imple of what may bo termed political immorality. It is to be hoped that the I > cop1o of Montana will vote for their A-ooi , for their lead , for their silver. If they do they will bo voting for the material interests of their co.mtry. If so voting they cast their ballots for Tom Carter , the republican candidate , it will be because ho is on the side of Montana wool , Montana lead and Alon- Lann silver. And with regard to the legitimate ambition of Montana to be come u slate , the citizens can rely upon the sympathy of those republican stales that belong to the same great north west , and are determined to do all that can bo done for thorn , because they are their natural allies and friends. rors VLEA. The democratic candidate for vice president is particularly fond of repeat ing the statement that thu gloomy pre dictions of four years ago of what might happen to the business of the country in the event of democratic success have not been verified. A number of times he has told his audianccs that wherever he wont in the last presidential cam paign he heard it said that if Cleveland were elected it would seriously menace the national prosperity , ana then with as much spirit as the veteran can com mand , ho declares that those forebodings have failed , and therefore that there should bo no attention paid to the pres ent predictions of harm to the business of the country as the consequence of continuing thu dumocratic administra tion in power. The obvious answer to Mr. Thurman'B disingenuous plea is that the predic tions ot four years ago have not boon realized because the administration has not been able to carry out its policy ex cept to a very limited extent , and so far as this has been done it has not boon to the advantage of the business of the country. We are still living under laws enacted by republican administra tions , so far as relates to the financial and commercial affairs of the country' The fiscal system has not been changed , nor have the laws which regulate the currency. All things arc still as the republicans left them , and the fact that matters have irene along so smoothly , despite llio ef forts of the administration to obstructer or defeat the operation of these laws , is the host possible testimony to the wis dom of the party that enacted them and to the desirability of restoring that party to full control in the government. But suppose Mr. Cleveland had boon permitted to carry out his policy , can anyone doubt lhat the result would liavo boon damaging to the national prosperity ? He would have stopped the coinage of silver , which the administration has been most careful to keep down to the minimum limit under the law. The ef fect of the policy pursued regarding sil ver has seriously injured the great sil ver-mining industry , and could Mr. Cleveland have had his way the ruin of this industry would not have been the least of the evils that must have re sulted. The administration was favor able to the Morrison tariff bill , which all intelligent and candid democrats now admit was a measure whoso success would have been nearly ruinous to the industries of the country. Everybody of course understands that it is in favor of the Mills bill , notwithstanding the undeniable sectional discriminations of that measure. So far as the ad ministration dared to go in depart ing from the republican treasury policy there was injury done to the business interests of the country , and a financial exigency was produced so serious that it was compelled to retreat from its position. Had Mr. Manning remained tit the head of the treasury , with his complete subservience to the views and demands of Wall street , it is extremely probable that Mr. Thurman would not now be able to congratulate his party on the failure of the predictions of dis aster to result from democratic ascend ency in the government. There is no glory for democracy in the fact that the administration has not seriously disturbed the currents of busi ness or chocked the national prosperity. The credit for the fortunate financial and commercial condition of the country Is duo to the wise republican laws which the administration has been compelled to observe. ASSUKAXCE. It is only a few months since the com missioners of the bureau of emigration discovered that the police authorities of London were shipping to America their pickpockets and burglars , providing them with tickets for Chicago , whence they could disseminate themselves over the cities of the northwest. This was a very line specimen of that quality ol impudence known ns London assurance , but it has been surpassed by a recent action of the Duke of Buckingham. This descendant of the Villiers family , whom the qucon calls cousin , shipped all llio pauper mon and women from his vast estates to this country , providing thorn with neither money nor tickets to any western point , BO that they landed completely doolituto. What makes this mailer so outrageous is the fact that those victims of ducal inhumanity pos sessed rights of settlement and support upon the counties whence they were exported - ported , according to the old Anglo Saxon unwritten law. These rights were recognized when the present sys- torn of treating paupers was introduced into England , and it was conceded that every person who was indigent had a claim for support upon the parish whore ho was born. Dickens in Oliver Twist has given the world some notion of the way in which the poor lawsaroadministered , and the feeling in favor of n change of system which began through him is now intensified by the utter heartlessness - ness of the land owners who shirk every duly , and endeavor to fight every pecu niary obligation. Owing to the frco trade farce , agriculture is In such a terrible condition in England that the unemployed may bo counted by hun- , drcds of thousands. The land owners throw all thobui don o/maintaining those ( por&rns upon the lease holders , , who Hive been seripu'sly crippled by Ameri can competition In .nicwU and cereals. When It is reme'tiiborcd that these same and owners do not pay a single cent of and tax , and that lliey are extremely wealthy , and in many cases own tiny- where from ton thousand to a million acres , it becoims ! clear that the system is untenable and cannot bo maintained much longer. Such an action as that | ) orpelralcd by the Duke of Buckingham will loud to hasten the inevitable re form. Tltr.itK is another old Omaha clti/en in the person of George Fr'incis ' Train who has not forgotten the pledges and contracts made by the Union Pacific railroad with Omaha. In his own caustic style his poem of Sunday ar raigns the Union Pacific for its "broach of trust , " of which the management stands convicted before the bar of pub lic opinion. Itis indeed only too true , ns Mr. Train says , that "Hull times nro again out of joint when corporations rob great towns , and Omaha made a way station with promised union depot still half mast.

Here is a brief summary of President Cleveland's record on pension bills compared with the record of three republican presi dents who preceded him. It hardly bears out the assertion that ho Is "tho old soldier's friend : " "Private pension legislation , num ber bills passed during the Forty-ninth congress - gross , 9. ! ' , ) ; number bills during tUc first ses sion of the Fiftieth congress , 751 ; number bills vetoed by President Cleveland to date , COO , or otic veto to nearly eight bills , beiiift ubout 12 per cent vetoed. Number bills ap proved by Grant , Hayes and Arthur , 1,011 ; number bills vetoed , eight , or ono veto to ' ( H bills , being only one-half of 1 per cent , and not one of the eight were vetoed on thoh merits or questions of fuel , but in the Inter est of the soldier.

The proposi tion was taken under advisement by the board of trade over three months ago , and im a result a building1 association has been ortrani/.od under the laws of the stale , made up of many of the lead- iiitf business men and caiiitalists of the city , and the articles of incorporation were tiled at llio recorder's olHce and with the secretary of slate at a late hour yesterday evening.

Thu city and county are directly inteiested in Hasan enterprise- . The articles of incorpora tion provide that so much of the second story of the building as may be neces sary for the use of tlio board of trade , shall be set apart free of rent , when the building is completed , to so continue until 1001) ) . The remainder of the building1 by reason of the prestige derived from its ououpaney by the board of trade , it is believed will rent for as much as the entire building would yield without the advantage which the presence ot the board of trade will afford , and for the additional reason that the stockholder * desiring olliccs and Mores will liavo a personal interest in its occupancy , thereby making it a productive and pop ular building , LINCOLN'S SUNDAY OIT.STS.

A nhort time since the city council ollcrcd him him &XU ) as a compromise but re considered it bhorlly after , hence the suit with plausible nurfuee reasons for judgment and cojt-s.

The price of calllo in Chicago ranges from $ . 'J" > per hundred lo $0.00. The highest priced beeves are doubt less stall-fed , while those that bring a low price have boon driven off the range to the market. The former are fat and In good condition , whereas the latter are far loss marketable. The business of running catllo on the range is about at an end , and thesoonor the cattlemen recognize this the botlor it will bo for them. In the mountains there will doubtless always bo a good summer range , but oven in the moun tains it will l > e necessary to adopt some system of winter feeding. On the plains tlio farmers are taking up the land , and before an invasion of this sort the calllo liavo lo give way. The owners of herds that are kept upon the range , whether on the plains or in the mountains , ought at thu first round-up lo cut out all the cattle they intend to market during that year anil turn Ihem into irrigated pastures. Of course it would require n great deal of land to maintain a very largo number of cattle in this way , but it should bo re membered that the day of largo herds has gone by. It is time that the cattle wore being divided up among a largo number of owners. If this were done it would bo possible to market cattle in excellent condition In the early part of thefall. These ani mals would' bring the highest price of grass beeves. In order to got the host price in the market , and especially if il be in the winter and spring , stall feeding - ing is necessary. There is no use in trying to persuade oneself that cattle need no/coil and no shelter in Colorado. The winter ? aru not as severe here as they are in sonic of llio other btatcs , but still they are too cold to justify the attempt to niako money by turning cattle out upon thu bleak plains in the hope that in somii way or other they will go through thu winter all right. To Advertise Nohrnxkn. SiDN'HY , Neb. , Oct. H. To the Editor of Tins UKK ; There is a word or two I would like to add. I am traveling u Nebraska particularly to sound public feeling in the interest of a'lfltalo board of Immigration" for Nebraska. While the western portion of the state it ) in need of such an organization the whole slate would be greatly bonelilted by sucli an organization. The justly proud record ord wh ich Nebraska has made in the world of agrieulluro should bo made known everywhere. ltd advantages and resources should bo advertised Oregon and Utah have state societies winch advcrtibo their Hueee * > s , and Ne braska should do the same. A stnto board of immigration would add im- inuniicty to the population of the state in even one year's work , and the farm ers would rflcognizo and work for such an organi/ntian. The real estuUi men are n unit for it , I believe , and If they are not the pioneers who develop and encourage immigration I would like to know who is. In my humble opinion I know of no catuo into which TllK JlKi : could outer and bo bettor assured of great general support nnd recognition as the subject of state immigration. Please say a word or two in its favor and please a large constituency in woAt > orn and northern Nebraska where thousands of acres of line tllliblo free ? ovornmcnt lands await the Incoming ol .ho true fanner and settler to develop .to true , natural and wonderful re source * . .
