OPPOSITION to nnnoxtxtion In Soulli Onmlia Is confined to the politicians , This ! H or.o of the best twsaiblo urgu- monts in fuvor of it. ASPIUANTS for city nnd county ofllcos must begin to kill otT a few of their fee friotids if they liopo to succeed. Tin curly bird is liublo to cntch more mil- flow than worms before election day. TIIKIIK is evidently n tnint to the morul atmospboro of Denver wbou the chief of police , n , lieutenant nnd a mun bor of patrolmen and detectives btvvo been indicted for corruption. THK foreman of tbeOronin coronor'i jury is nn experienced inburanco adjustor - justor , and that explains how it cairn about that the witnesses on the slant were pumped HO thoroughly. Tins delegation will bo ready soon t ( do a "land oilico business. " But wil the hold-over land olllcors bo cquullj ready to bo "done. " That is the ques tion which is stirring n hundred iwtrio boarts in Nebraska to the core. TidlliK inches of .rain last week dit more to clean Omalia streets than three weeks of street 'sweeping. It scouroi out several layers of dirt in the gutters which are mndo the receptacle for th ( sweepings of the contractors machines THE board of education has no furidi to pay for junketing and lobbying com mittcos to Lincoln or any other place It is a bad precedent to allow such : claim , no matter how small it may bo If sanctioned by the board it is an on- terinp wedge into extravagance , and is euro to lead to abuses in the future. WHEN the motors start to mote ant promised cable begins to glide up and down the grades , Oiimha will have a net work of transportation lines equal tc that of any city of its size in the coun- try. Up to date , unfortunately , the .greater part of the system has. been run by wind power. "WITH blooding Kansas pouring hci dry and unemployed laborers upon us from the south and injured Iowa doing the saino on the cast , it is only a won der that there are so few mon out ol jobs in Omaha. Over u thousand me chanics from the two states have emi grated to Nebraska this spring. SOUTH OMAHA as a city of the firsl olass will pay liberally for the title. In creased taxation , additional ofllcuhold- era and improved facilities for jobbery 'nro the main features of Iho , , now law' without any visible benefits. A fo\\ \ months of this system will make annex ation du.sirablo and necessary. THE suspicion is gaining ground thai the Kansas City paving firm took tin paving contracts lower than they couhl 1)6 done for the purpose of selling oul to the next highest bidder at n good round sum. The guarantee -check foi two thousand dollars could well be for- foiled and still leave a fat profit. There is a big si7.od durkoy somewhere in that rock pile. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tins petition sent to the council bj the various telegraph , telephonestruol car , olootrio light und other companies using overhead electric wires tiskinp the feasibility of the city of Omaho pultun ? in a general conduitsystom anil loaning the use of It ut a reasonable price to them is a proposition which the council should seriously entertain , There can bo little question but that bonds could bo voted for the purpose and that the investment would prove bolh profitable to the city and satisfac tory to all parties concerned. THIS snippers of Omaha do not ask the Union Pnciho to maintain its two mil lion dollar bridge for .nothing. Uul when the Union Pacific 1ms wrung out of the people of Omnlmund of Nebraska for bevontcon years the weight of the bridge in gold , and still maintaina its soldBh policy of keeping out of thit oit.vtha lines nnxiou& to cross the bridge at a ronsonablo ratoand of charging ton dollars for every car load that crossot the structure , it is high time to question CJntsoral Trafilo Manager Motion's "mod- tot bridge tolls. " A PltAfhMAtf CIIOSfiN , Tlio clcinocrntto national committee baa olootod Mr. Calvin S. 13rice Tie chairman. This action was not unox- poiHcd. For several weeks , or since it became luiown that Senator Gorman , of Maryland , was not u candidate , there has boon little doubt tlmt'Mr. Brlcc would bo selected , Thcro was at least ono strong point in his favor , the fact that ho Is very wealthy nnd can bo ro lled on to be generous in political con tributions , In the last presidential contest Mr. Brice was chairman of the demo cratic campaigncommittee. . 'For a man of very limited political experience ho did very well In 'that po sition. At the outset ho did some things to Imvo been oxpoctcd of a novice - vice in political management , and early 'received the sobriquet of ' 'tho rainbow chaser , " but ho rapidly improved , and before the campaign was half over sot- tied down to the work in u way that not n great many veterans' could Imvo sur passed. There was n suspicion that Mr. Brlco was not ardently devoted to Mr. Cleveland - land nnd his special policy , but there can bo no doubt that ho most earnestly desired the success of his party , and worked as hard and faithfully to that end as any man could have dono. Ills standing in dem ocratic confidence is fully established bj his election as chairman of the national committee. Mr. Brice has boon supposed to bo par tial to Governor II111 as the next candi date of the democratic party for presi dent. It is therefore not unlikely that his being placed at the head of the na tional committee will bo regarded as a move favorable to Hill. In an inter view n , few days ago Mr. Randall pre dicted the election of Brlco and stated that it would have no significance what ever with respect to the presidential chances of cither Cleveland or IIill. Novorlhclcss it is not quesliona- bio that the tariff views of Mr. Bricc are more in accord with these of the governor lhan with these of the ex- president. Ho is largely interested in railroading , manufacturing and mining , ana is in sympathy with the Randall- Gorman element of the party rather than'the Carlisle-Mills wing. If the supporters of Mr. Cleveland propose to run him again on the platform of last year , it is by no moans improbable thai they will have the opposition of Mr. Brico. Mr. Brice has political ambition , Ho is looking toward the United States- senate , and should the dem ocrats of Ohio secure the legislature next fall he would undoubtedly make a vigorous effort to succeed Sonatoi Payne , who it is now undorslood will in no ovcmt again be a candidalo. Mr. Brice will hardly bo so olllclent a chair man of Iho democralio national committee - mitteo as was his predecessor , the late William II. Barnum , who was a poli tician of long experience and grcal skill and shrewdness. But Mr. Brice will pay liberally for the honor , nntl this will cover a multitude of shortcom ings as u political manager. His selec tion will cause ? no regret among repub licans. A11SURD TWADDLE. The absurd Herald devotes an entire column to the removal of Judge Snndford from the Federal bench in Utah. 11 informs its readers that the president is liable to impeachment for stating tc the judge that his administration o ! justice "was not in harmony with the : policy ho deemed proper to bo pursued affairs ' ' and fet in reference to Utah , openly removing him for this cause. Could anything be more ridiculous'i The JJcrald knows as well as any of its readers that the cause of Judge Sand- .ford's removal and the solo cause was his policy toward offenders under the Edmunds act , " which has been maintained for the past three years against the protests of the Utah com mission and the remonstrances of the strongest oiti/.oiiH of Utah. It knows 01 ought to know , If itdocs not that during his boiuilorial term President Harrison , ns chairman of the committee on terri tories , had a distinctly marked policy on Ulah 'matterswhich was , after nil , only the.-policy of the conservative people ple of the country bent upon seeing the laws rigidly administered. It was highly proper and manly in the president in removing Judge Sandford to Btatu frankly and openly that as hie policy in Utah was to bo on the lines ol a rigid enforcement of the laws he did not fool that Judge Sandford was the man for the place. Any citizen of Salt Lake know just what that meant. Judge Sandford know what it meant , and the neatly turned periods of bis correspond ence , written with a view to subsequent publication , did not change the situa tion. A ME niCA .AT Pvt n IS. American pride will bo unpleasantly affected by the statement that the ex hibit of the United States at the Paris exposition is disappointing. There are features of it that are unsurpassed , but as a whole it does not do credit to the country , and , in the inevitable compari sons made , the grout ro public is not al ways ahead. Perhaps it was not to bo oxpectcd that it would bo , but on the other hand there was every reason why the industrial interests of the United States should have made extraordinary efforts to oxool all other countries , or at least to make their display complete with their very host pro ductions. It was an opportunity of which the fullest advantage should have been taken , from a purely practi cal and selfish standpoint. Congress made liberal provision for u thorough exhibit , There was u special incentive in the character of the exposition as commemorative of the first French re public , nnd there was the certainty that all Europe would bo represented among the visitors to Paris. Never haa this country had a bettor olmnco to nut its bust foot forward in the matter of show ing the world what it had and what it can do , nnd it is matter for rctgrot that it did not fully Improve the ohanuo. The feature in which the American exhibit is distinctly superior is that of machinery , but in the industrial sec tions the English are far ahead of us. Thin is explained , though the oxn'.ana- ' tlon is not altogether satisfactory , t > y the fact that the English are but thirl ] rallos away , so to speak , whdro wo ar three thousand mile ) distant. But dls tanco really counts for very little , am the superior excellence of the Engllsl industrial exhibit Is the moro to bo com mended bccausn it is entirely Iho rosul of private enterprise , not : p'omiy hav Ing boon contributed out' of publti funds. It is ono of the vcr ; rare instances in which English men have shown greater enter prise than Americansnnd they doservi full credit for it and all the advantagi It can give them. "What few scatter ing hits our people do make in this ox hlbitlon , " remarks a Paris conmspond out , "aro solely duo to Individual Inge nutty , nrlistio taste , pluck and enter prise. It is nothing short of hnniillat ing to sco the whole industrial roprc sontation of our country dcpon ( < len upon these , to realize that In this worli competition wo measure up ngnins England about ns Canada inoasuret against us at Philadelphia in 1870. " But for the great electrical exhibit made by Edison and the superior char aclor of the American machine sec tlou , In which nearly everything oxhib Hod is novel and Illustrates an advance the United States would play u quite in significant part in the Paris exposition The fact is unfortunate , if not discredit able , and the benefit the country shoult have derived will bo lost. A PJIILANTIlKOPrSTS GIFT. The presentation to the military academy at West Point of portraits o Grant , Sherman nnd Sheridan was vcr , characteristic of Mr. George W. Chllds the editor philanthropist of the Phihi dclphia Ledger. It has boon given perhaps , to few men in this country t scalier unobtrusively so many seeds o kindness , to assist whore assistance wa most needed such a number of poor am deserving men and woman , with no dis play of generosity , or to gather arouni him so many and such a largo circle o friends attracted by his great-hearted ii'jss und simplicity of character. In several respects Mr. Child is a unique figure among tin prominent characters of our day. 1 successful cdilor and publisher , bo ha amassed a grout fortune , and buill up : great paper on lines of such rigid con set-vat ism that his journal stands alont in these features which make it tin most solidly substantial investment ii the Quaker City. Amid all the strug glcs of btato and national politics amidst local brawls and class conlrovcr sies , Ihe Lcilycr has pursued Iho ovoi tenor of its way , standing up boldly .foi its ideas of right and wrong , and draw ing to its support the best elements o the community which were sure o its integrity of purpose because it wa dominated by the honest heart am strong will of Philadelphia's most prominent inont and best beloved citizen. A cap itullst in whoso defense his employe would willingly die , a banker whoso gooi fortune the meanest mechanic does no envy , a wealthy man who uses hi wealth as a trusl for the beuolit of hi poorer follows and a philnnlhropis whoso. benefactions How in silon streams daily throughout the country Mr. Cbilds is cntilled to the warrnly-af fcctionato utterances which greet hi name whenever it is mentioned amen ; Ibobe who know best his worth and tip prcciato his tnmplieitynnd sturdy lion osty of character. TAKIXQ 'fAXaUJLE SHAPE. No bolter evidence could be dcsirec of the future importance of West Far nam street as a main artery of busines than the proposal of Hon. A. J. Hans com to subbcribo $50,000 toward tin erection of the proposed million-dollui hotel on thai Ihoroughfnre. Mr. Hauscam has always been knowt as ono of the most careful , prudent am far seeing financiers in the city. Hi has never invested his rnoncj unless i was certain to produce u fair income When Mr. Hnuscom volunlcers to sub scribe $50,000 toward the erection of i fire proof million-dollar hotel it showi thai ho * confidently believe : the investment will pay The street on which Mr. Hanscom pro poses to erect the mammoth slruelun is that already made noted by a doxoi of almost the finest buildings in tin country. Mr. Hanbcom is able to make gooi his offer. In order to put it , in to effect bo insists upon two conditions only first , that the righl men shall lake hole of Iho enterprise , and , second , that the scbcmo shall engender no hard feelings If the onlorpriso should bo under taken , there is little doubt among those who uro already pledged to the scheme that nothing would bo loft undone tc secure only good mon to join in the undertaking. It is also believed that no hard feeling could bo aroused because the future of Omaha , requiring such an hotel , would silence whalovei objection might bo made by those nou directly interested in the samobusiness , Mr. HanBcom's offer has been warmlj commended by every citizen who has heard of it , and there is little to be feared that it will bo an incentive tc other capitalists to embark in the great enterprise. With a million-dollar holol on West Fnrnam slrcot , the array of mammoth , beautiful and costly structures on that Ihoroughfnro might well challenge the admiration of the citizens of the country. Tniciu : is every indication that the mooting ol delegates of all boards ol trade through the state at Omaha on Juno 20 , will bo largely attended nnd will lead to much good. It will bo the firsl lime that the business men of Ne braska , through their representative bodies , will take aclion to work in harmony for the welfare' 'of the state. The meeting will bo beneficial in bringing out the needs of different sec tions and in pointing out the ways nnd moans to secure thorn. The convention moreover will bo able to determine tipon a general plan of action. It will soften 'conflicting interebts and local jealousies and create of fooling of unity in labor ing for a common cause. For that reason every city in the state .should be properly represented and be hoard. Tun movement of the Omaha board of trade for a convention of representa tives of all commercial organizations in the state is heartily commended in all socUons.

A CHANOK has been maao in. the management of the South Omaha stock yards which cannot fail to bo benefi cial. The selection of Mr. W. N. Bab- cook by the axccuti\vo board to succeed Manager Boyd brings into that position n gentleman thoroughly familiar wltli freight rales nntl Iho intricacies of Ihc transportation problem. Just such r man has long been needed at the Soutli Omaha stockyards. Without disparag ing the services of Manager Boyd , win has been closely Identified with the stockyards since their inclpicncy it is an open secret thai Ihc yards are nol gelling their full quota of hogs and catllo due lo the fact that the management 1ms nol boon sulllclonlly vigilant In protect ing Shippers against the imposition o the railroads. Mr. Babcock , as genera' agent of the Northwestern railroad , is thoroughly conversant with thai ques lion , nnd his experience as n railronti man will come inlo good stead ns tin manager of the Omaha btockyards. He should not alone be able lo arrange bol ter transportation rates , but should be able to secure prompt and olUcient coir neotions on all lines carrying stock in It Omaha. THK decision of the pxocutivo board of the In tor-State Railway association favorable to the demand of iho.Chlcagc & Alton road for a division of the live stock tralllc of Iho St. Paul roud , has been promptly acquiesced in by the lat ter company. The excellent spirit shown in the communication announc ing the acceptance of the decision b. > Iho St. Paul ought to have n good offcct uppn other companies in the association , and it is a very palpa ble rebuke to the action of the Alton officials in disregarding the decision ad verse to them In Iho mailer of lowering lumber rales , belwcoii Chicago and Ihc Missouri rivor. It Iho "gentlemen's agreement" is , to amount lo anything , there must boprompt , nnd cheerful ro- spccl paid to Iho decisions rendered under it. ' Mu. RAND.YEI.I expects conservative tariff loglslntipn from the next congress - gross , ' 'not over protective , nor even highly protective , but sufficient to pro tect the labor'o the Uniled States from the lower wages of Europe. " Still the same stale protdnso. The induslries ol England are1al Ibo high tide of pros perity , while ili'.this country iron mills are closed , and _ those in operation do not find a market for half their pro duct , yet so intelligent a man as Mr. Randall talks of protecting our labor from the lower wages of Europe. It is impossible to say what the Pennsylvania Hlntesmnn would regard as a conserva tive tariff , but he makes an unlooked-for and welcome concession in recommend ing nn enlarged free list and a reduc tion in the tariff. THK British and Canadian 'govern ments have decided on an elaborate sys tem of forts lo bo buill on Iho western shores of British Columbia. The forts will extend from Esquimnult , the head quarters of Iho Brilish Norlh Pacific squadron , to Victoria , and work will begin this year. These preparations , coupled with the announcement of the homo government that orders had been nhiced for heavy armament for these forts , indicates the dolermi- nalion of Great Britain to strengthen her hold on North America. It is a significant answer to these confiding statesmen who imagine that Canada is ready to join the union of slales , and gives a black cyo lo the movement for commercial reciprocity. ANOTHKiiof Ibo new war vessels of Iho American navy is practically ready and will bo given a preliminary trial this week. This vessel , the Baltimore , is far superior in size , speed and batlery power lo any of Ibo now vessels Ihus far comploled. A special point of interest is the fact that she is built after the plans purchased by Secretary Whitney from the English ship-builders , Sir Wil liam G. Armstrong & Co. , the design having been made byxa then employe of the firm who is now chief constructor of Iho Brilish navy. The Baltimore is ono of Iho finest war ships atloal , und of course will bo equipped with the latest appliances to make her effective. Tinorganisation of a company of English und A'&cjVlcnu capitalists , with fifteen million dollars capital , to de velop Iho timminos al Ilurnoy's Peak , Dakota , and erect works for Iho manu facture of tin',1irjlalo , , gives assurance that the tin industry in speedily to re ceive a boom in' this country. It is un derstood to bo 111 j intention of Ibis com pany lo construct works at several points , Chicagbfp'robably being one. Is it not prucUcituh ) to present the claims of Omaha as an pUgiblo point for ono of these establishments ? The matter is corlalnly worlny of consideration , and is commended 9'the attention of those members of the board of trade who are charged with the dutyof furthering the industrial interests of the city. Tins people of Niobrara have sent a committee to Chicago to urge the ex- tenslpn of the Northwestern road from Verdigris to Niobrara , nnd of the Omaha road from Hartington to Yank- ton. These oxtoiiBlons aggregalo""abQUl flfly miles , and nro extremely Important to the surrounding .country. There is no doubt that the company is seriously considering the construction of the lines , the only difficulty being the no- ' cot-slty and cost of u bridge over the river nt Yankton. If the committed succeeds In inducing the company to undertake the work the result will be highly bonoflola ) , commorclally , to Omaha , north Nebraska and southern Drtkotn. are expressed.by the banking journals of ilia country that the bank examiners ot Nebraska to bo unpointed under the now banking law will not be inon having practical knowledge of the banking business. It behooves the proper authorities to see to it thai In the execution .of Iho law , the influence of politics and of private bankers not in good standing bo entirely eliminated. There Is every reason lo behove Ihc banking law n carefully framed meas ure , and-if honestly enforced by capable mon it will protect the people against wild-cat schemes und insure to Nebras ka u conservative banking system. IN nn interesting interview published olsowhorot Major John M. Carson , the veteran Washington correspondent ol the Philadelphia Mr/cr / , tolls the story of how Grant , Sherman and Sheridan received the idea of having their por- trulls hung on the walls of the military academy at West Point , whore Ihoy re ceived their education. Major Carson represented Mr. Chillis on this occasion , doubtless ns ably as ho represents Mr. Chllds' greal journal In Iho national capital , _ ON Ihc authority of the era' Gazelle it is stated Unit the cost ol water power for manufacturing pur poses in the loading towns and ollies ol New England Is about equal to that of steam , and thai steam power is gradu ally supplanting water power in the fuc- lorlos of Lowell , DoverManchester and other places. This would certainly in dicate that water has losl Us once boasted cheapness as a motive- power , and that where- fuel is abundant steam is preferable. THE visit of the ofilcir.ls of the North western road to the Black Hills Indi- culos important changes in Iho railroad. The extension of the company's lines from Whitewood.to Dead wood can not bo much longer delayed. Competition will force It. The activity of rival lines ex tending in that direction insure early rail communication with the loading mining camps in Iho Hills. IN spite of Kicking Thunder , Mad Horse , Biting Wolf , Two Strike , and u few other chronic objeclors with names as suggestive , Iho Sioux commis sion carried Rosebud agency by a barge majority. The bars are now down , and the Indians of Iho plhor res ervations will not be slow lo follow Iho lend.
