of Pennsylvania am more devoted to

than are those of Ohio , and it was well
understood that tlioy intended to make
their fight this year on the issue of pro
tection. Beyond this the platform con
tains little inviting comment. The result -
sult of lighting over the tar-in" battle In
Ohio may have bomo lufluonco on the

good deal upon the attitude of the dpm-

enterprise shows the hollowness upon
which the local inspection beef bill in

acted on the ground that the public

Hlstont , therefore , that Minneapolis

Vrlm consolation in this funt. If Min

POLITICS Iff
Political affairs In Iowa are becoming
in to routing , nnd aro. attracting nltcn-
tlon beyond the boundaries of thai
state. From nil reports Uicro appears
to bo n division among republicans upon
the two vital Issues of the railway ques
tion and prohibition , but moro particu
larly upon the former. It Is represented
tlmt Senator Allison , who has been in
conference' with leading republicans of
the state , counsels n less radical policy
than has boon purAuod with respect to
the railroads , wlillo Governor Larrnbco
insists tlmt the policy which has been
adopted is wise , mid should bo
adhered to. In n recent interview
the governor snld the jobbers nnd
shippers of Iowa arc gcnorally satisfied
wltli the rates , the expressions of dis
satisfaction coming Invgcly from those
who enjoyed special rutos before tlio
present low tariff took cfToct.uKo
backward slop should bo taken"said
the governor , "and wo should not per
mit any equivocation by our public olll-
cors who have to denl with railroad
questions. " tt is entirely probable that
this voices the fccntlmairt of a largo
majority of Iowa republicans , yet under
the pressure of growing complniuU from
business sources thattholr interests are
suffering in consequence of the retalia
tory attitude of the railroads the moder
ate views of Senator Allison nnd others
nro not unlikely to have Homo weight.
At any rate the Indications arc that
there will bo something of a struggle to
dot'irmlno whether the party shall tnko
a backward step on the railway questioner
or adhere to the position it lias Inkon ,
with the chnncuh'in favor of the latter.
As to prohibition , it is not questionable
that thu number of republican ; ] who tire
heartily tired of it , on practical grounds ,
is steadily increasing , but. they are still
greatly in the minority , ao thai no
chiingc at present in the attitude of the
party on this question is to bo expected.
The republicans of Iowa have nbun-
clnnt material from which to select u
candidate for governor , there being at
least half a do/.ou aspirants. Very lit
tle is said regarding democratic plans
or prospects. The former will doubt
less , as usual , be determined upon after
the republicans have announced their
policy , while as to the prospects there
is no'roason to oxpocth different result
this yoat from that , of past years.
SIMOJf
There was in tlio career of the late
Simon Cameron mucli _ for the emula
tion of American youth. Whatever
faults ho may have had as a politician ,
in private life and in business , his recti
tude was never questioned. Among
what are called solf-mado men , none
was moro dislinullvoly than ho the
architect of his own fortune. Orphaned
at the ago of seven , ho rose from poverty
to great wealth by industry and honest
means. 'With no other educational ad
vantages than those afforded by the
printing olllco , he graw to
bo sought after and honored in
the councils of the greatest polit
ical leaders of his time , and
to exert an inliueucc as > potent -and as
far-reaching as any of them. Kvon
thoto who differed with , him politically
were compelled to respect his vigor of
intellect , his patriotism , his large lib
erality , his kindliness of heart , his de
votion to hi1) friends , and his unfailing
gratitude to those who had befriended
him in his youth , extended even to their
posterity. Those who know most of
Mr. Cameron speak of him as having
been , in all the reflations of life , n most
genial man , over ready to forgive and
forgot , while his generosity was great
and widely extended. What bettor or
nobler epitaph could any man aosiro as
the record of ninety years of most active
and useful'llfo. It' was a remarkable
career which Simon Cameron volunta
rily ended , so far as its public relations
were concerned , a dozen years ago , and
now that ho is dead all men may con
scientiously render to his charade'1 as
n man and citizen the tribute of sincere
respect.
AKOT11ER SKtfATOltfAL TOUli.
There is promise of an unusual amount
of special information for the attention
of the United States senate from the
numerous committees of that body engaged -
gaged in investigation } . Committees
have boon studying our commercial and
railway relations with Canada , another
Is to investigate the question of irriga
tion , nnd still another is to examine into
the condition of Indian tribes along the
northern border of the United Slates.
This last committees , of which Senator
Iawcs ) is chairman , will start for
the * scene of its labors and pleas
ures next Monday , going first to Port
Townsend , Washington territory ,
whence it will proceed by government
steamer to Alaska.
The resolution of the senate dlrccl-
ing this investigation authorizes the
committee to examine into the condi
tion of all the northern tribes , espec
ially the Indians on the Wliito Earth
reservation in Minnesota. It is also to
investigate the conduct of the Indian
ngonts and their subordinates and em
ployes at any of the agencies in that
quarter , with a view to ascertaining
whether any of thorn have neglected
tholr duties or have abused their au
thority In their dealings with the In
dians , and examine into the distribution
of annuities or other appropriations ,
iniulo for the bonoiit of the Indian
tribes , by said agents.
There was good reason for directing
Ihis investigation. For several years
there have boon numerous complaints
tlmt the Indian trlbos in tfio northwest
wore not being justly dealt with by the
agents , that they wore being deprive !
of a part of the provision made for them
by the government , and that thoagonts
wore ouriohing Ihomaalvos at the ex
pense of the Indians. A number of
well-authenticated cases of this kind
were brought to the attention of the
interior department under the last
administration , but owing to the in-
diffcrnnca and generally loose manage
ment of the predecessor of the present
comuiibblonor very llttlo attention was
paid to charges of delinquency on thp
part of Indian agents. It is notori
ous that many of the agents appointed
under thu last administration were men
totally unfit for this service , and it waste
to have been expected that they would
take every advantage of their oppor
tunity to despoil both the Indians and
the government. That a Croat deal of
rascality will bo brought to light if the
sannto committee shall Jnaho Its
Investigation Uior6ugh whioh it 19 fully
empowered to ilo , there cnn bo 116
doubt , and it is als o to bo expected that
the inquiry will result hi suggesting
reforms la the Indian service that will
bo to Iho material advantage of the
government and the Indians. There is
undoubtedly needed n closer super
vision of agents than Is now had , and
perhaps they should also bo allowed
fewer privileges limn they now enjoy.
Hut the prlmo necessity Id that only
Such men shall bo appointed to this Bor-
vlco as have nn estab\UhoA \ character
for integrity which may reasonably bo
expected to resist the temptation to
unduly profit by It , and hitherto there
has not boon sufficient cnro to snlaot
such men. ,
LKl' JJ/.V PROOKED.
' 'Honest" ' Jim Croighton has boon
nosing around the assessment rolls In
the county court house with the avowed
purpose of lodging complaint against
Tlio Hoe Building company and urging
Iho county commissioners to raise Iho
tixfcpsment on TIIK BKK building. This
is In accord with the olornal illness of
things. Rotten Pavement Jim bus
spent about half of his time every your
in bosoiging the commissioners nnd city
council to out down hisownassessments ,
which have always boon way below
that of his neighbors. A man
with his record as a tax-
shirker nnd raider upon ttxxpaylng
citizens who have been Imposed on by
his paving jobs is the proper person to
complain about low valuation of the
property belonging to other tax-payers.
TIIK BKK building has been assessed
tins spring on Iho same basis that has
always boon adopted in the assessment
of unfinished and unproductive build
ings. No favor has been extended to
its owners in placing them on an cqunl
footing ; is to assessment with foreign
corporations like the Now York Lifeor
resident corporations like the First Na
tional , Merchants' National and other
banks while their buildings were under
construction.
Lot Rotten Pavement Jim by
all menus file his protest against
Tin : Bine building , in which ho
wants to see the crows roost. Ilo
cnn rest assured , however , that
every lot and parcel of land assessed
for anybody by the name ol Grcighton
will bo inventoried and brought U > pub
lic notice and its valuation compared
with that of TIIK Bun building. The
taxpayers of Omaha will then have a
chance to know who is bearing his just
burden ot taxes and who is imposing
upon the community.
SUCCESS OP Alilil'l'RATION'
The controversy between th'o Union
Pacific and the engineers nnd firemen
has been amicably sallied by arbitra
tion. The decision of the board is a
signal victory for the operatives. It
holds that a branch of the Union Pacific
cannot bo separated from the system
for the purpose of reducing wages with
out violating the contract , entered into
between the company and the men in
1SS7. The company attempted to sot
this contract aside , so far as It related
to certain branches in Kansas , without
consulting the second party to the con
tract , nnd the result of the contention
thus forced was a defeat of the company
with the weapons of its own choice.
Wo congratulate the men and the
company on this satisfactory set
tlement of a dispute , which . for a
time , seriously menaced the business
interests of the west. A strike on the
Union Pacific system would have been
disastrous to all concerned. With the
distressing results of the Burlington
Strike still visible in the west , it would
have boon the height of folly for the
men , as well as the company , to precip
itate a walk-out for the trilling sum in
volved , and when the company pro
posed arbitration Tin : Bun urged its
acceptance , confident that the men were
in the right , and that an honest , dis
passionate examination of their claims
would result in their favor.
The decision affirms the wisdom of Iho
course taken by the men. It is a sub-
slnnlial victory for arbitration , for con
servatism , and for justice , and points to
the one successful way of amicably and
profitably adjusting controversies be
tween labor and capital.
A1JOUT CEMENT.
There should bo no monopoly per
mitted in cement or ether materials
used in public works. No material
should , however , bo used unless it can
pland the prescribed lest. In spite of
every thing that can bo done some
monopolies will continue. For instance ,
nobouy can compote with the Trinadad
nsphallum , because its production is con
fined lo one corporation.This is not
true , however , in the matter of cement.
There should bo at least four or five
different brands of commit good enough
to bo used in pnving. It is generally
understood that Portland cement sots
very quickly , and therefore must bo
used exclusively in such works as ro-
qulro hardening in the shortest possi
ble time. For building purposes a
cement that hardens very quickly is
not the most desirable. A building
must settle , and thu cement must settle
with Iho brick , slono and iron , or Ihere
will bo fissures and cracks in Iho walls.
If Iho paving bo done before freezing
wctithur , it is not material whether
Milwaukee , Louisville or Utlca cement
is used. If , however , the paving is to be
done during the months of October nnd
November , when frost is linblo to sot in ,
the cement should necessarily bo of
such quality as to settle quickly , or it
will bo practically useless. There is
no doubt that Utlca cement Is good
enough for building purposes and good
"
enough for paving purposes if"tho pave
ments are laid during the summer
months.
This position is taken on the assump
tion that the contractors will bo held
strictly to specifications gotten up
honestly and based upon experience.
The very best of cement , if mixed out
of proportion with other ingredients ,
Will bo of no use. This fact is exempli
fied In some of our sidewalks. Wo
have granolythio sidewalks that with
stand weather and wear , and wo have
some that will not last longer than ono
season. AH of them may have been
laid in IforUand cement , and In ono
case thG tyntractbr has boon honest ,
using UicMliffaront materials In proper
proportions jjn another Instance ho lias
simply uuylD/i / surface showing , With a
very UtthJ ccinelil In a substrata of
sand. Such" work accounts for the
dltToronce in sidewalk materials as
well na the. difference ii > prices. Urnn-
olythic p\KQIpcnt : cannot bo laid down
for less tl\yi \ | a fixed prlcOj and anybody
who may f t , it cheaper cannot expect
durable in grtal lo bo used.
Tun tons of thousands ot people
throughout the country vrho contributed
to the relief of the Concmnugh sufferers
have a right to know what disposition
has boon mndoof thotundsin the haiuls
of the various relief committees. It Is cs-
llmalcd that the reported loss of prop
erty nt Johurflown and uUowhoro has
boon exaggerated. The lolnl loss , not
including the dtinmgo sustained by Iho
Pennsylvania railroad and Ihe Cambria
iron works , can not bo moro than eight
or nine millions instead of from twenty
to thirty millions , as first reported. In
all , the aggregate loss of houses in the
Connnuiugh valley may bo safely esti
mated at two the asand. It seems to bo
the purpose of Governor Beaver anil the
relief committees to rebuild as many
small housoa as the moans at their com
mand will allow , not to exceed a tolal
cost of a half a million. This will csr-
talnly go far In giving the noo.ly citi
zens a now start in llfu until they can got
upon their feel again. It may bo nec
essary , moreover , to spend a million to
clean up the streets. But the pressing
cod of the hour is for funds to buy the
necessaries of llfo in order to feed ,
clothe and house Iho thousands of home
less women and children of tlmt ijrlef-
slriekon region. Although the gener
osity of the American people hn < j put in
the hands of the relief committee funds
that can not fall much short of three
millions of dollars , u second nppsal 1ms
just been made from Johnstown that all
manors contributed for the sufferers and
held by the mayors of cilios bo soul at
once. There is Uttlo question but that
the cry for aid will moot with generous
response , and that additional sums will
bo collected for the unfortunate rorlon.
