K eootl oxhibitlon Is worth a thou sand altlo shows. you wnlk into my pnrlor , snid Huscall to the county commissioners. tc is ncithor souse nor reason in heaping1 bunions on the Keepers of pool nnd billiard tables. A license fee of fif- tocn tlollnrs for oacb table is a hardship which the council should not impose. Tun midge and the weevil are doing Bad damage to the wheat of Michigan nnd Illinois. Yet the discouraging re ports sent out may bo no more nor less thnn exaggerations to ulToct wheat spec ulation. EJIIIOT.DKNED by the successof Massa chusetts , Pennsylvania and Rhode Is land , the people of Kansas nro preparing to throw off the galling yoke of prohibi tion. The time is considered ripe for agitating rcsubmission. TIIK board appointed to arbitrate the differences between the Union Pacilic nnd the engineers and firemen , is com posed of men thoroughly competent to weigh the claims of both sides and ren der n jubt nnd satisfactory decision. TIIK motor company promises to huvo Its road 5n operation by July 4. That ' should bo'a big enough attraction with out any further demonstration on that day to bring out every man , woman nnd child in Omaha to see the phenomenon. ANI > now the county commissioners nro confronted with a bill of two hun dred and fifty dollars a month for rent o the ramshackle poor house. Iluscall spread his not with characteristic sly ness , and the commissioners with their eyes wide open walked into its meshes. COUNCIL Bum's has let the con tracts to pave n number of her residence streets with brick. This wi\l give Omaha the opportunity of judging the worth of brick for paving purposes. Itt \t \ > only on light trafile streets , however , that brick can bo safely laid. TIIK repair of the aprons at all street crossings has boon ordered , and should 1)0 attended to immediately. The un sightly wooden aprons , splintered and broken , tire not only a menace to life and limb , but uro apt to give strangers n poor impression of our streets. WICHITA and other towns of south western Kansas nro calling loudly for railroads to the north , which shall re lieve them from the oxaotions of Kan sas City. They look to Omaha for help because Kansas City has boon a fnlso friend to thonicrippling their industries and retarding their growth. A JiANUFAGTUUiNO company has just been incorporated in this city for the purpose of making olootrio motors , cnra , and other electrical appliances , which in time gives promise of develop ing into an liiij.prtiuit establishment. Omaha is evidently pushing her way to the front in the manufacturing lino. TIIK designers of the union depot np- paronlly exhausted their skill in sketch ing the viaduct approaches. In strength , beauty , breadth anil length , elegance of detail and prospective cost , the viaducts dltfplny n versatility of im agination never equalled in these parts. The depot itself is a more annex to the old eowshod , It boars no comparison to the union depot at Kansas City nnd Denver or oven the Northwestern dopol at St. Paul. IN reply to the circulars sent out by Governor Ltirrnheo , of Iowa , to several thousand shippers and jobbers of the state for the purpose of eliciting tholi views us to the olToot of roeont railroad legislation , the answers received have been quite satisfactory. 'Lass than fourteen per cent of the shippers arc reported to bo opposed to the gover nor's policy , the majority being well satisfied with the nvtos as fixed by the railroad commission. This would clearly indicate that the people ol lown. stlatnin their governor in his do tormlnod fight for equitable rates and fair treatment. Since the operation o the now tariff shoots on probation the rnilrqad agitation in lotru has quieted down , nnd the question gives promise pl a ponnnuont and satisfactory eottlo meat. DK Nearly every acllvo progressive com munity in the stnto is represented in the development convention now in ses sion in this city. It { 3 a gathering of men who have helped place Nebraska in a proud position among the states of the union. The objects and alms of the convention nro to devise ways nnd meatis'to protect and Improve the coin- mcrcinl interests of the sUttc nnd en courage the settlement of Vtoo country. The progress of the slnto during the past ton years has boon marvelous. From a population of four hundred ana fifty-two thousand in 1830 it swelled to seven hundred and- forty thou sand in 1885 , nnd to-day contains not less than one million and a quarter people. The "dosurt" has dis appeared , if it over existed outside of the maps , and in its stead arc thousands of thrifty settlers , comfortable homos and scores of enterprising towns. Five thousand miles of raili'ouds traverse ncnrly every county , against eighteen hundred miles ton years ago. Factories have multiplied and every branch of business shows n marked increase. Agriculturally tno development of Ko- brtisUn has been equally rapid , rising step by step until she now ranks fifth among the corn producing states of tiio union. Last year the improved acreage aggregated nine and a half million acres , of which four nnd a quarter million acres ypero planted to corn. Thirteen nnd a quarter million acres yet remain unimproved , an area larger than Connecticut , Massa chusetts and Delaware combined , or Vermont , New Jersey and Rhode Island , and capable of supporting from two to three million people. There's no bettor evidence of the progress of Nebraska than the record of Omaha's advance in a decado. With a scant thirty thousand population in * 1879 , it has grown to an active , enterprising city of one hun dred and twenty-live thousand people. Its manufacturing and commercial strength was then a more fragment of what it is to-day. Stock yards and ( Kicking nouses wore net thought of , pavements and sewers and waterworks were still a dream , and the town drifted rudderless with the current. To-day forty miles of paved streets penetrate every section of the city. IIMIs have been levelled nnd hollows filled , nnd Blxty m'.los ' of sanitary and surface water sewers laid. A magnificent sys- toln of waterworks supplies every want in that lino. Sixty-four miles of olcc- tric motor , hoi'so and cable street railways connect the su burbs with the business center. Omaha has sprung In five years to third rank as a stock market and packing center , having four Of the largest pack ing houses in the country , giving em ployment to live thousand men. and re quiring an average of eighteen million dollars a month in 18SS to handle the business. Twelve banks , with over live millions of capital' , attend to the finan cial wants of the metropolis , and the wealth of the people is .shown in national bank deposits , aggregating eight and a half million dollars. Ninety factories , with six million dollars capital , employ six thousand five hundred hands , requiring four hundred thousand dollars a month to [ > ay them. Twenty million dollars were invested in buildings during the last tour years. Eighteen million dollars were paid to farmers for stock last year nnd three and a half million bushels of grain handled. The jobbing intorc.stof the city amounts to over sixty millions a year , divided between two hundred nnd seventy-seven linns , and twenty- eight hundred business firms represent the retail trade of the city. Fifty pub lic schools employing two hundred and sixty Xoadhore , besides a score of private and denominational schools , look after the intellectual interests of the rihing generation , and oisjhty-six churches at tend to the spiritual needs of all. This is a composite picture of the metropolis which bids welcome to the representatives of the business interests of the state. It is a compact counter part of the growth and development of Nebraska. To protect and increase the interests of both is worthy of the best efforts of the convention. FOIiA KKK HKXOMlNA'l'ED. The Ohio republican convention ro- nominated Governor Forakor on the second ballot. Ho is now serving his second term , and in n run ing him for a third term the republicans of Ohio have disregarded the precedent of both par ties in that state. Tlfo exigencies.of the situation , however , seemed to de mand the stalwart and vigorous leader ship of Forakor In the coming cam paign , nnd although there were half a dozen excellent men presented to the convention , and the governor had said that ho did not desire the nomination , after a complimentary vote to other candidates ho carried olT the honor by a majority which clearly showed how strong the necessity for his loadorshiu was felt to bo. Oovdrnor Forakor represents tl)0 ) young republicanism of Ohio , and this wa onthuslastiu in his favor. It gave no hoed to the third term objec tion , and it Insisted that Forakor had no right to rolube a demand of the party after It had twice honored him with its support and confidence. This evidently impressed the governor , since for some time before the convention ho was silent , and thus tacitly left the issue in the hands of his friends. These opposed to him , as they saw the trend of affairs , sought to draw Congress man MoKlnloy Into the field , but ho declined to allow his name to gobo < fore the convention. Ho is a candidate for speaker of the next house of repre sentatives , with projpocts not the least favorubla among these whoso aspira tions are in that direction. No repub lican in Ohio is more popular than Major MoKlnloy , and had ho consented to go before the state convention as u candidate lor governor it is quite possl hie ho would have received thonomina tlon , and perhaps made n stronger candidate > didato than Forakor. Under the clr cuinstanccs , however , ho took the propoi course. The failure to induce MuKin lay to run loft the Hold cloai for Forukor without the slight est effort on his part. The gov toruor has soiuu euemiod , but his courui n this matter appears to have boon en tirely fair and honorable , and the full larty strength ought to rally to his itlpport. No one can question that ho las made an able executive , and the thrice-accorded honors of his party should win him friends rather than nako him enemies. The campaign In Ohio promises to bo exceedingly vigorous and iatdrostlng. Tust now the 'donnorivts nro not liar- nonlous. They arc divided on the t-irlff jucaUon , but it is probable that they vlll "got together" by tie | time their state convention moots in August and treparo to make a HnrJ light for the state. Tito indications -'are that ox- Congressman Canl'pbolU will ho their rubernatorlalcandidalQ'jTii which event tovornor Forakor'will have a focmnn nero worthy of his stool than was the lemocratic candidate"ofklwo yorrs ago. The advantages oftho ; , situation nro vlth the ropublicansrif no sortmis dls- affections occur , but obviously this is a danger not to bo lost sight of. TOO MUCH SIDK-STIOW. There Is danger that th'o movement to organize and perfect n week of at tractive amusement in Oinalja for next fall will bo overloaded with side-shows. Division and destruction nro threatened. Catch-penny affairs ivro .springing up and individual greed usurp * the public jood. It will not require e'x'traordinary ex ertions to bring largo crowds of people to Omaha. Tlio city Itself is'a perma nent attraction to the people of this nnd surrounding states. The main essential to suttcoss is unity of action a workintr together of all forces for the common weal. It will not do to scatter the attractions in the four corners of tho. city. If we nro to have races nnd other amusements it the fairgrounds , and n go-called expo sition at another part , it is important/ that the managers should work in har mony with the "Merchants' Week" as- soointion. Unless they got together and formulate a definite plan of action , the result will be unsatisfactory if not inju rious to the city. Three years ago the fail nnd exposi tion operated separately. Although advertised as the QmnlUi fair and exposition , they wore en tirely distinct in location and price ? The result was that visitors were deceived and expressed their contempt for the gouge game in plain words. A rcpetilion.of that plan will keep thous ands away from the city'this year. There is no reason why a WOOK of amusements cannot bo carried to a suc cessful close in Omaha. Ir. addition tea a grand central exhibit at the fair grounds , a variety , o'f public displays should bo arranged for tlio nycnings. Tlio success of a feeble imitation of tlio Mardl Grns , organized on short no tice three years ago demonstrated what can bo accomplished by orga'ir/.a- Lion and definite purpose. Greater re sults can bo gained this yearby similar energetic action. It is not necessary that the older heads should do the work. By placing the'working details in young , enthusiastic hands and sup- Dorlinp them with counsel and means , surprising results can bo accomplished. Parades and illuminations can bo ar ranged for every evening. The mate rial and the energy is abundant. All that is required is harmony , defi nite plans , and the selection pfforcoful men to nxocuto the details : By this means we fool confident that great and .ostiii benefits will f6w | to the city. THE HAKO LL WIXO. The wing of the dcmdcrncy which acknowledges the leadership of Samuel J. Randall dwindled to very small pro portions in the last coigriS3. | There is some reason to bolicvoth.at . the Penn sylvania congressman will-have a larger following in the next 0hgtbss , and there are already intimations that ho intends making an olTort- regain the position of loader of tho'h'ousc , . which ho long held. Mr. Randall was the firs > t to suggest that the imperative duty of the democratic party" is to "got to gether , " nnd he has since said some things that have 'very plainly indi cated the lines on which ho would have it got together. These will not bo ac ceptable to the Carlisle-Mills wing , but tariff legislation in the now congress will probably bo loft , wholly with the re publicans , thus avoiding ( lemocratic an tagonisms on this subject , and Mr. Randall , it is intimated , will seek to concentrate the party on another issue in the management of which his tH- condoncy might become easy. , There are two matters suggested as principal features of the plan which Mr. Randall .is believed to bo contemplating. Oilo of thoBo re lates to the proposed , change of'the rules , to which ho has already signified his hostility. The other rotors to the supposed purpose of the ropribHcntis to adopt some measures lot * thoibcttpr reg ulation of federal olnclidns fn tliqsouth. The aim of Mr. Randall , It is thought , will bo to impress the democrats of the house with the superior importance Of these matters over revenue questions , audit ho can accomplish this his ambi tion of leadership will bo attained , for no man on the democratic biflo of the house is so well equipped-as ho to conduct a battle whore parliamen tary devices must play the most important part. Once having taken the scoptro from Carlisle nnd Mills , and boon again enthroned us the louder of the democratic side of tho'House , the Randall wing of the democracy would become the potential wing , and its chief , whom the dominant element has sought to humiliate and' deny , throe yoiiM henoo may play it ftfqiiHplcuous part in deto'rminlng who shall bo the presidential standard bearer of the party. There can bo very little doubt that Mr. Randall was not the least bit dis turbed by the outcome of the. last na tional campaign. It was fought by his party on lines wliloh ho did not ap prove , and besides he had no Intercut in the political success , pl Nr. Clove- land. It ho should 'again 'come into possession of his lost p'owor of leader ship , and more improbable things have happened in politics , the friends of the ox-presldont would have a fonhldablc foe in their own parly to overcome throe years hence , This oonRitloratlon mn > be found a troublesome barrier in the way of Mr. Httmlall accomplishing the task ho ls-/ol'ovcl ) to have laid out for himself. 3 The prcjdpt ! has appointed Mr. William VflJlMT Phelps , of Now Jersey , minister t < rw'rmany. Mr. Phelps re turned fromfjnorlln last Monday , hay , ng with him a copy of the agreement regard Ing Sauioa reached by the con- Terence of jnjuch ho was a member. It has bcjSrtf foreshadowed that this ippolntinc'rilstWild bo made , and while It will therefore cause no surprise , it will give very general satisfaction. . "ow men nro so well equipped by oducar .ion . and long cxporlcnco in public life or diplomatic duties as Mr. Pholus. lo has boon eight years in congress , mil a considerable part of this time 10 was a member of the house commlt- , co on foreign affairs. In this capacity le made himself thoroughly familiar with the foreign policy of the govern- nont nnd-ncqulrcd largo knowledge 6f Diplomatic u hgo. no has also had oxi icrienco in diplomacy , having been nlnistcr to Austria in 1SS1-U , while as one of the commissioners 'to the Berlin conference ho must have acquired valu able insight into diplomatic methods. Air at least a do/.ou yoar.s Mr. Pholjh las boon prominent in republican politics ' tics , and during this period one of the stiumohost friends of Mr. Blnine. Ho vas dolcgato-at-largo from New Jersey - soy to the national republican con ventions of 18SO and 1831 , in Ixith of which his inllUor.co was exerted for the nomination o'f'Mr. "Bluinc. Undoubtedly no one would bo more iccontablo to Germany than Mr. 'helps , whoso course In the Berlin con- eronco cun not hhve failed to coinni6nd dm ns well to the respect of the Gor- nnn government as to that of our own government. He will succeed a gen- .leman , George n. Pondloton , of Ohio. vhoso ability nnd character won the esteem of German diplomatic olilclalb , i ml who 1mb made a crcdituulo record. There can be no doubt that ho will worthily maintain the position which the United States has attained in th'o ogard of Germany. To the stock shippers and people along line of the Chic.igo , St. Paul-Min- icapolls & Omaha the finding Of the lute board of transportation that the railroad has exacted unreasonable reight rales will bo received with uni versal satisfaction. It will bo rainom- jored that a.'ciWnplaint was lodged with ho state botird'sonic weeks ago against that railroadicharuing it with unjuit discriminatlon'in ' the matter of tr.Xns- lortation of Ijvo sl-ock and coal between rekamah , in Kurt county , and Omaha.

There has been uid is yet too much haste hi public works.

Juno 20. | For a year or inoro It has booh apparent that the usually tranquil waters of the Methodist camp In this city were deeply stirred. Tim trial nml beheading of Mine- hurt is but a drop In the bucket compared with the denouncement of Chancellor Crclgh- ton by A. J. Cropsoy , of Ogden , Utah , formerly ono of Lincoln's citizens anil busi ness men. It scorns that when the strife was on for the location o'f tlio Wosloynn univer sity , Cropsoy , who was then engaged In the real cstnto business hero , cast his not Into the waters nnd helped those favorable to Lincoln catch tlio prbo. Hut when Iho show doxvn cnmo the division of tlio spoils the cruel war bogan. Tnr. HKK representa tive lit upon nn open letter , addressed to Dr. Crolghton , chancellor of the university , dated Ocdcn , Utah , and written by J. C. Dropsoy under date of May 30. At great length ho airs his grievance and takes oc casion to iimko a number of highly sensational allegations , which savor lee much of attempted blackmail to admit of their being repeated in the imbho prints. Contradicting Cropsoy's denouncement comes the statement of Chancellor Crolgh- ton , through his ixttorpoy , J. u Doty , whom ho authorizes to speak for him , Tun URK representative having sought n porsonul In terview with the chancellor. The chancellor expressed a willingness to undergo the newspaper inquisition , but said that Mr , D6ty could spo.ik for him advisedly. Dr. Crcighton , however , pronounced Crop- soy's allegations a bnizen attempt nt blackmailing - mailing , mid with u snap of his lingers said , "I do not care two cents for thorn. " Doty tolls the story ns follows : " J'ho trouble between Colonel Cropsev nnd Kov Dr. Crcighton , Hcv. Dr. Miller , C. A. Atkinson , osq. , nnd J. J. I mho IT arose ufter the location of the Nebraska Wesloyun mil- vor.sity. Thoroulcsta'tollrmof which Colonel 3ropacy was a member had an opttonjon the Vull eighty. Messrs. Atkinson nnd ImhoIT desired to interest some friends in the prop erty in that locality. Cropsoy had moro op tions on land in that vicinity than his lirm could carry. In conversation with him Dr. Jroiuliton said that Atkinson would tuku the Vail eighty off bis hands. Cropsoy's llrm ponvoyed the land to Atlcmsnn ( or $300 , or ? 1,000 per litre advance on iho contract price , and in addition gave Cropsoy S150 for his services. They bought ull of Cropsoy's In terest in tlio land , and nt no time aid they or either of them ucreo to lot Cropsoy have any further interest in the deal , neither did they deceive him in uny way In regard to thu matter. Crop- soy's llrm had loaded up with moro options than it could conveniently carry , and it had to unload. Atkinson & Co. thought It n good investment and became Us purchasers , thus helping Cropsoy out of a dlflloulty nnd giving him u pro lit on his deal in the Vuil eighty. ThoiO facts were ull brought out In the case of the Nebraska Wesleyan institute vs W. C. Hnwloy * uud an emphatic denial of ( Jropsoy's ' statements was mudq by Kov. Dr. Miller. Itov. Dr. Koborts , Uov. Dr. Crcighton and Messrs. Atkinson nnd 1 in ho IT. Jropsoy never thought of claiming that ho : iad uny interest in the land until ho found .hat a prolit had been made on the purchase. There was ijovor uny of the eighty sold jntil the location of the university wus ubio- lUtoly fixed. Cropsoy has endeavored to blackmail thaso men ; but , being balked in this , anil not being financially responsible for nny damages for lofumation of character ho has rushed into irlnt. Ho vents his spleen upon the attor- loy in tlio case of the University vs Iluwloy wcatiso ho was able to show that this man Cropsoy bad paid 570) ) to n party to assist in debauching a jury In the case of Cropsoy vs Gage county. The story of Lolghton's live .lores is a fiVtion of his own vile iirnin. The statements of tnis nnmitisatcd falsifier in regard to Uov. Dr. Miller have been denied under oath , nnd Iho character * of nny of the { cntlonicn slandered can not bo affected ia , bo minds of honest men who know them. AcoDrdlng to sworn statements Colonel 2ropspy was the only niun who used , Or tried to use , nny dishonest means to influ ence actions in regard to the location of the Nobnwku Wcslynn unlveriitj ut Lincoln.
