The profit lender of the party opposed to the federalists , o which ho gave the nnmo republican , vat , born April 2 , ( old style ) 1713. Re cently there was issued by the prosl- Icnt of the national association of demo cratic clubs a request to subordinate as sociations to celebrate this anniversary 'in Boino manner suitable to tho' great occasion , " and a quite general observ ance of the day by such associations s probable , 'n the circular of the ircsidont of the national association t is said ; "At a time when the administration of the executive newer of the federal government , and the con- rol of the two houses of congress , have > ut recently passed , or are passing , un checked , into the hands of a party avowedly fodarallsh , in corrupt alliance with a mighty aggregation of powerful irlvnto monopolies , and practically no- tnowlcdglng none of the restraints or imitations imposed by the constitution , t is especially Important that the toach- ngs of the great apostle of American democracy should bo again most sol emnly invoiced.1' What claim has mod ern democracy the democratic party of o-day to bo regarded as the exponent of the teachings of Thomas Jofforson'i1 The whole people hold in highest loner the memory of the author of the Declaration of Independence. His is one of the Imperishable names of our ilstory that will continue to grow in ustro and in the homngo of a free pco- ile with the advancing years. Ho was lot without faults and human weak nesses. His uncompromising partisinn- ship , nnd to some extent , also , his per sonal ambition , made him a trouble some member of , Washington's adminis- .ratlon. 'It was ho who , when presi dent , sot the precedent of removals from ofllco for political reasons , a Dollcy which- later democratic presi dents enlarged to the fullest extent. Ho was the author of the Kentucky resolu tions of 1798 , which have been regarded as the first promulgation of the doctrine of nulllflcation or secession , and ho was not always above political intrigue. Yet he was undeniably ono of the greatest men of his era , and few did so much to secure national independence and firmly establish the foundations of the republic. He boHoved in tlio union to the oud of his life , and the record of his 'public career furnishes no in stance of his having oyor encour aged or countenanced sectional ism. Had the democratic party followed the patriotic example and teachings of Jefferson the country would not have been torn by rebellion , for it would have surrendered slavery rather than have imperilled the union. But it wandered away from Joilcrsonian patriotism and became the party of a section , dominated by the element which was incurably infected with the dangerous and destructive teachings and principles of Calhoun. Although beaten in the long and bloody struggle to carry out those principles , as a party the democracy has not yet renounced them. The men who dominate the the party may confess the hopelessness of over car rying them into effect , but they do not therefore the less firmly believe that they arn right. All democratic talk about the ascendancy of federalism in the government , about the limitations of the constitution , and about the rights of tho'statos , is simply the echo of Cal- hounism , and it is a libo'l oa Jefferson to connect his name with it. There can bo no objection to an ob servance of the birthday of Thomas Jof- torsou. It is an occasion upon which all Americans , and the friends of liberty elsewhere , could moat properly unite Jn honoring the memory of ono of the wisest and bravest leaders in the cause of human liberty. But the as sumption of the democratic party that it represents Jeffersonian principles , or that the party has done so at any time during the past fifty years , is tofi preposterous to go unchallenged. The return of that pa'rty to the princibles ol JolTorson , as they should bo justly and fairly interpreted , would bo a welcome fact , but this is not to bo hoped for so long i\s the party is dominated by the clement which learned its political principles in another and a far different school. THE DENVER In the modern history of crime there appears no incident moro interesting than that of the Denver robbery. In deed , an incident moro intensely dramatic could hardly bo imagined. Nc wonder that at first the story was doubted. In the broad light of day , at the busiest hour , and at the most prominent corner ot the eity , almost In the pres ence of a score of clerks , with tthu foot falls of the passing multitude withir plain hearing , the president of s banlc was forced , nt the point of a pisto to ylold up twonty-ono thousuiu dollars. To obtain this sum he was obliged to puss out among tlu clerks and to communicate with the toiler. Yet he had no opportunity t < make a. sign. The robber took thi funds , gracotully retired and in leaving did not forgot to tip his hat. ' "Billy the Kid" was an artls iu his wny , B'lt ' ho was , crudi and offensive. Ho liked to shod blood and firt > t and last managed to gr.it Uj this liking to a notable extent. Thi Denver robber was riot ot this mold Ho did not shoot. Ho merely threatened onod to shoot , ami probably had ui empty revolver to baok the throat. The bottle1 , with which be indicated n wil Ungnsss to blow up tlio institution , cou tulnud cnntoi' oil. Altogether , the affair , with the subse quent ilisappoimuico of the principal , i oxtroraoly mysterious. Had any los , otHulal that Motfatt hlmsolf been tin victim there would have bcun iminodi ate suspicion ot collusion. Ills millions if nothing else , AUVO him from thin. A liberal ro-.vard is offered for the aj : prohonsion of the castor oily indlvlduu but there IB reason to doubt that th reward will over bo cut-nod. The roll her is in a position to buy a job lot c detectvc-6 ! himself. EXKOUTIVE SESSWKS Senator Teller , ot Colorado , ycsto day declared his belief in the useless ness ot the executive session In connec tion with confirmations. For once , nt least , the senator was right. If ho can stand an open session every ono of his .colleagues ought to submit to it willingly. To a marked degree the executive session is a farce. It merely excludes the public tempo rarily from knowledge it has n perfect right to possess , nd thus Is wrong in principle. If anything of importance transpires behind its closed doors , It Is quickly bruited about. The senators themselves betray It , nnd the press pro ceeds to scatter it to the four quarters of the globe. Thus , while wrong in principle , the executive session is barren of result. The advantage of an open eo&slon for the consideration of nominations is obvious. The people have an Inter est in knowing , and a right to know , who is to represent them in office at homo nnd abroad. They do not want unworthy servants , nor do they want good material rejected through the pique of Senator Teller and his follows. Doubtless the presence of an audience in the galleries would temper the utter ances and stimulate the judgments of the orators. In the recent discussion concerning the nomination of Mujrat Halstcad , Mr. Teller himself was ono of the most violent in his. opposition and childish In his denunciation of Mr. Hal- stead because the latter had chosen at times to criticize the wealthy and dis tinguished gentleman from Colorado. Mr. Toller's action in Itself constitutes a strong argument in favor of Mr. Tel ler's proposition to open the doors. A imiEF period of sober reflection convinces those who fought and bled for the honor , that legislative life is a waste of energy and a strain on ono's character. Honest mdn rotlro from the strife with pleasure , while the disrepu tables cling to it while there is n dollar In sight. The former will not stoop to low trickery and scandalous schemes to secure support for measures of public good , but cannot escape the annoyances which surround legisla tures. The latter are nt homo in the tide of dissipation and dishonesty and flourish on booty and bestiality. This condition is chargeable to the indiffer ence of the better class of citizens. They refuse to take an active part in the primaries nnd conventions and per mit these' foundations of ollicial life to bo controlled and managed by schemers and place hunters. M. AUSTIN , of Grinnoll , la. , 1ms been looked upon for sometime ns a promi nent candidate for representative of this country to the Argentine Republic. The selection of this gentleman would bo fortunate. Ho is a lawyer of moro than ordinary ability , a successful busi ness man , and a partner in ono of the most important manufacturing concerns in Iowa. It is seldom that a man of his ment.al acumen , uprightness of character - actor and business experience can be found for such a position as ho is ready to accept. Mr. Austin is supported not simply by the party in his state , but manufacturing interests in general would bo glad to see him appointed , be lieving that ho would bo an active factor in promoting the commercial re lations of the two Americas. TIIEUK is no scarcity of tickets or candidates for ofllco in South Omaha. Every class and trade Is represented , nnd the variety affords the voters an opportunity to select good men for the UiiYoront positions. The condition of municipal affairs demands the best class of citizens at the holm. The debts cre ated by necessary public improvements , the construction of viaducts inaugurated and'tho countless expenses which must bo incurred in paving , sewers , side walks , etc. , require ability nnd in tegrity in every department of the city overnmont. By placing the rolns , in strong , clean hands , the growth and prosperity of the city is secure. THE observation of "An Omahan Abroad , " printed in THE BEE fortifies the claim that Omaha real estate is the heapcst and best investment in thie western country. Throughout the region - gion traversed there were melancholy evidences of collapsed "booms , " with business property ranging from twenty- live hundred to five thousand dollars per front foot. In all the various stages of Omaha's growth these figures have not boon approached. In ' comparison with cities of loss population and infe rior advantages , Omaha real estate has no equal as a money making invest ment. THE selection of Garber , Gilchrist and Gilkcson for secretaries cf the state bonrd of transportation is a rich com pliment to Wahoo , Rod Cloud and. Alli ance. Those great centers of business und population have struggled for years for representation on the board , and have finally achieved that greatness which their importance commanded. Insignlficont. villages like Omaha , Lin coln , Hastings , Fremont , Beatrice and Grand Island , must patiently plod along in the old rut until they demonstrate their commercial fitness for recognition by the board. NKIIUASKA soil is in splendid shape for spring planting. A remarkably early season has enabled the farmers tc place the ground in , prluio condition. . The lack of moisture is only felt to i limited extent along the rlvor oouiv tleo. In ull others the winter frost ; wore more effective than snow in moist onlng the uplands , whllo the valley * are rarely lacking in this important es Bontlal. All things considered , the farmers of the state have never had suol favorable conditions for spring worker or such fine prospects for a bountifu harvest. THE investment of foreign capital b ; alien residents in Omaha will b < much moro encouraged now that th legislature has wisely removed th < barriora. English , Scotch and Putol capital is finding Us way towards th west , and efforts should bo uiado by ou citizens to attract much of the foroig funds looking for investment in Amorl can cities. THE bill repealing the law unilc which the live stock commission o [ > < rntod , as It reached the governor , pro vided that the state bo fully quaran tined against the entry of diseased stock , nnd that n state veterinarian bo appointed nKart annual salary of two thousand dollars , In other words the meritorious features ot the old law have been presorted , and there can bo no question of the importance to the state of the pr6toction which u quarantine law vouchsafe THE rojcctlinlot Ilalslcad by the son- nto is likely tpjoad to unexpected re sults. Ohio fopubliciHis are determined to vindicate lifm by making him the successor of Senator Payne. His elec tion would bo a fitting rebuke of the senate nnd the Standard oil statesmen. Making Now I' .

Ho nlso sacrificed $10,000 , it will bo remembered , in an effort to retain a position which was desired Dy a party of the name of Harrison. o A SIde Attraction. The Now Yorlc legislature has passed through ono branch an appropriation to erect a grand stand for the use of the mem bers during the forthcoming centennial pa rade In Now York city. If they nro thus gathered in ono lot , they will divert n con siderable share of public curiosity from the regular show. A Ohniico Tor a Koyal Romance. Chicago Mail , Along with the information that ox-Queen Natalie , who has boon in exile , will return to Scrvia , comes the statement that ox-King Milan , who divorced and exiled her , has postponed his departure for Constantinople. Wouldn't it make a story of the real "Uank- cr's Daughter" kind if these two , whoso early ibvo was so.puroly romantic and whoso later differences were talked of the world over , should ho brought together and recon ciled through their son , the present reigning prince ? The present status of affairs has just n tlnpo of thli'color. THE Pllpjh OI-1 INDUSTRY. * In Savannah , Ga. , colored laborers refuse to work with Italians. San Francisco Celeries are supporting a movement to haVe , stores closed on Sundays. Ono thousand.shlp builders are on a strike at liolfast , Ireland , against a reduction in wages. The tin mines of Dakota are to give em ployment to 1,500 men during the coming season. Tbo 10,000 washerwomen of Paris have formed a union. They will demand 75 cents per day. Delaware river ship-builders have con tracts enough on hand to keep thorn busy for two years. The female cottonworkers of Madison , Wis. , want their day's work reduced from twelve to ten hours. Colored laborers are being brought from Virginia to the new granite quarries at Falls of Frouch Creek , Pa. A Michigan bill proposes to empower bulld og inspectors with the enforcement of the aw prohibiting child labor. The New Orleans bricklayers have made a demand for 45 cents per hour , nlno hours a day and eight on Saturday. Laborers nnd mechanics nro warned to stay away from Peoria , 111. , as work is dull nnd hundreds of men are out of employment there. Castleton , Vt. , has the only slate-pencil mill in the United states. The daily produc tion is 30,000. Ono man can sharpen $ ,000 pencils daily on his emery wheel. Testimony in a recent suit brought by Har ris Gold , of Philadelphia , Pa. , to obtain wages duo him , revealed the fact that ho had been employed to make trousers for 00 cents n dozen , or 7J cents a pair. Worklngmon nro warned to stay away from Hay City , Micu , , nnd give no heed to misleading uowsuapor advertisements. The labor market there is overstocked and many are unable to find employment. A. bill recently brought into the states gen eral of the Netherlands by the minister of justice mukob provisions for the prevention of excessive labor of youthful persons and women. It will probably bccomo n law. A curious method of obtaining work was that recently employed by a Philadelphia man. Flo hung a board over his back in scribed "Work wanted , " nnd took a stand in a business street. Ho got a job within , two hours. At the master tailors' convention recently held In Now York It came out that the Golhainito tailors keep lists of their cus tomers , after wkoso names are such signs us "N. G. , " "D , 13 , , " "Hlack Sheep , " "Fair , " 'Delinquent ' , " "Undesirable , " and the liko.

Last night when ho sidled Into the center of the stage and mndo ills bow , ho was most heartily recurved , Ho told , In his own inimitable * way , tils ex perience with it pugilist whom ho had en. gagod to teach him tuu manly art. Ho tolls his anecdotes in a ludicrous monotone and without gestures savq for expressive Uvitch. ings of the hands , lllloy is a somewhat handsomer man than William , but not noticeably beautiful.

April 1.1 The old'bonrd of secretaries to the state bonrd of transportation stopped down nml out this morning. Messrs. OllUosnn , Gil- : hrlst andGarbor lookup the rolns as though .hoy were old hands at the business , nnd the work In the otllco of the atato board of trans- lortiUlons runs as smoothly as clock nm- jhlnory. There ts pqsslbly a good omen In the fact that the names of the now board nil commence with the letter G , and If so days of sunshine have dawned for the yeomanry and shippers of the state. ( MM Albeit , speaking for himself , 0.3 to the fu ture policy of the board , Mr. Gllkeson tersely remarked , "I propose to bo as cold blooded us n lizard nnd do what I believe to bo right.1 "So far as I am concerned , " said Mr. Gil- Christ , " 1 propose to act for the people us la my Judgment shall bo for the best. " "As for mo , " said Mr. Garber , "I will bo found kicking along In the harness with my confreres. Tholsentlmont of ono will prac tically stand as the sentiment for all. " The personnel of the now board Is summed up in a word. Mr. Gtlehrlst is ilft.y-slx years of ate and has devoted most of his Hfo n farming and stock raising. Wlilln not wealthy , ho is well-to-do , and is recognized as n practical nnd intelligent man. Hn Is n resident of Alliance , 13ox Uutto county. Judge Gllkeson is foriy-ono years of ago. For the past ilflccn years ho lias boon In the practice of law at Wahoo , Siuinuors county , and on the whole has been successful. The state board express the opinion that ho will prove a safe legal advisor , although n demo crat. Mr. Garbor is much the youngest member of the board. Ho is not twenty- eight years of itgo , but those who know htm jest regard liim as n man of good udgmont and thoroughly competent to per- 'orm the duties of the olllco to which ho has boon called. Professionally , ho is u banker. Mr.Varing's successor , C. H. Holmes , of Uoatrico , is n young man of steady habits and pleasing address , and Is said to be frco 'rom alliances or tie-ups , calculated to nn- .agonizo any member of the board of his superiors. The now board thus organizes itiJor favorable circumstances , and ttio pub- lo bore confidently expect smooth future work , and such action as will tend to har monize and sustain general good feeling. Secretary IJI\VH Snys No. In a moment of generosity during the olos- ng day of the Nebraska legislature , the louse of representatives voted away several of the chairs and desks which had been used by members of that boay and the reporters , and which wore said to bo a part of the state's > roperty. The chair occupied by the speaker during the session was voted to htm , nnd the ; hair and desk occupied by Uoprcsontative Hays were voted to his widow. When the matter came to the knowledge of the secre tary of the state ho declared that ho would not recognize the right of the house to vote away any of the property bnlonging to the state , nnd that he would interfere- any at- , empt was made to rcmovo any of it from the capitol. The chair voted to the speaker , lowover , was taken out and away without us knowledge , nnd It is slyly whispered that t will be sent for. The secretary says that md ho known the chair was being taken 'rom the building ho would have stopped t , and had the question settled by the courts as to whether or not the legislature had a right to give away the state's property. Ho says that ho is satisfied Unit neither house can donate n cent's worth of the property of , ho state legally , any more than they can give away the state house itself. Ho further itatcs that ho had guards posted who were nstructca to prevent the rolnoval of any of the desks or chairs , or any other property , and that if even the speaker was allowed to jut away with anything it was a broach of rust on the part of the guards. The ro- iprtors iiro out their chairs , but the impres sion is strong that nothing will bo dona to retain the chair taken by the speaker and that the chair and desk voted Hays' widow will go to her. It is said that u remonstrance ought not to bo made to this in any event. The District Court. The case of Benjamin Scuncffc ot al , vs Jeorgo Travcr , which took up the tiino of Fuc'go Field and a Jury nearly all of last vcek , was decided to-day nnd judgment en- ered for the pifeintiffs for $2,500. Tim sum nvolvcd in the case was $10,500 , but tno status of the Issue wore fully stated in Tan inn lost Wednesday morning. It was among .ho most stubbornly contested trials over intcred upon in the district court of Lancas- or county. The case , indeed , was fought nch by inch , onu witness having bocn kept on the stand over fourteen hours , and others intil the patience ot judge and Jury was sorely tried. Uut , like Shakespoaro's ghoit , even now the cause will not down , and geese o the supreme court on appeal. This case ended the trials in the district court for this term. Motions wore the order or to-day. Lawyers made them much after he spirit of legislators in passing upon bills on the closing day of the Nebraska lopisla- uro , They acted much as though they wore iw'ullr tired and longed for rest.

Ono of tlio Now Trains to Hun Be tween Denver and Ohloniro. A train is nowhere nowadays unless it Is / vestibule. The vostlbulo Is all the rngo , and * In order to bo in style the Union Paolllo is adding moro trains of that description. A jl' now ono , Just from the shops , made its .initial trip yesterday and carried n party of railroad oOicmls nnd newspaper men to Fremont and return. The train was simply on trial , nnd , ns it proved perfectly satisfactory , to-day It will begin Its regular duties carrying passen gers between Chicago and Donvor. The ar rangement between the Union Paclflo nnd Chicago & Northwestern calls for-four solid vostlbulo trains between Chicago nnd Den ver , two of which nro furnished by the Union Pacific and two by the Northwestern. The train which made the trial trip yester day was the llrst ono turned out by the Union Pacific and It's a beauty in every way. It Is composed of a uaggngo car , smoker , day couch , reclining chair car and a Pullman sleeper , all fitted up In the latest stylo. The cars have been In the shops nt Omaha for thrco weokB bolus' fitted up for this service nnd the cost for each was about $1,330. The next train however , will bo turned out In shorter order and will bo ready for the road in about two weeks. 1 The short trip yesterday showed the nd- \ \ vantage of the vestibule over the old trains In the absence of jarring nnd the freedom , from dust. The train arrived in Fremont shortly boioro noon , and after a walk about the city and dinner at the Eno house , the party returned , reaching Omaha about 8 o'clock. The gentleman composing the party ivoro Assistant General Manager Ed Dick inson , Demurrage Commissioner A ; O. Jones. Robert Uaxtor , E. Buckingham , A. M. Collott , foreman of the car de partment , and Charles Trlpp , representing tlio Aaron French spring company of Pitts- burg. The train wns drawn by cuglno 823 , Vnnnoy. engineer , nnd was In charge of Con ductor ICoen. The Golden Gate special , duo here to-day , has eighty-six passongora on board , the largest number over carried since that train was put in sorvico. An extra coach was at tached to the train to accommodate tha crowd. Death of a itnllrnail Alan. Charles W.
