TirKitE will bo no dearth of amuso- { mcmta , in Omaha during the week , a fact which the visitors to the cily will not fail to appreciate. NEITHUII the millionaires of Now "York or Chicago are in a hurry to go down into their pockets to subscribe Block to the world's fair exposition. TiTErocent war in Hayti consumed .810,000,000 of money nnd 400 men. This statement would not indicate any very great amount of personal bravery among the combatants. permits to the value of thrno million dollars have boon issued 'In Omaha since the beginning of the year. Jt is safe to predict that the record will roach five .million dollars before the end of December. STiiAMsnu's first crossed the Atlantic ocean in 1838 and the trip took nineteen .days from England to Now York.

Such action , howovor. is not likely to create a favorable opinion in behalf of the sot- tiers with the interior department. Colorado , at any ruto , should be in bet tor business than to cry "Wolf" when there is no cause for it. If the removal * of tlio Indians is desired , it should bo brought about in a legitimate way. Wit hitvo received a letter from Mr. C. A. Robblus in which ho challenges us to print replies from various county judges in Kansas who assure him that prohibition is not a failure. Wo should linvo complied with this request hart Mr. Rabbins observed the usual courtesy duo any newspaper and sent his letter direct I to Tint Bias instead of sending it to other noTwsoapors without giving us nn opportunity to print it first. Although addressed to the editor of TUB BKE , the letter was printed in other papers. Tills BUB has always boon willing to print both sides of any issue upon any ques tion , reserving to itsef | the privilege of expressing its own views and conclu sions in regard to the merits of any controversy. Of course , wo will not allow this papar to bo flooded with any one Ism , and would be compelled at all times to restrict discussions within reasonable enable limits. Now that Mr. Robblna has soon lit to send his K'ttor to other newspapers first wo deem it unneces sary to play second tlddlo. off The farmers nro this year moro ng- Rresslvd than over before In giving ex pression to their prlovnncoa nnd Book ing methods to rohovo thorn. In al most ovcry state of the union the farm ers' organization nro. actively ongngod in formulating plans to combat whut they claim to bo discriminations against their interests , the tendency everywhere - where being to nntngoni/.o the combi nations nnd trusts , to which they charge their dldlcultios , with combinations of their own. Tho- development of this move ment , which in its wldo acopo ami great importance is of national concern , has boon very marked in the southern states. A couple of weeks ago there was "hold at Montgomery , Ala.J"a fnrtn- ors' congress , in which a dozen south ern states were represented. The ad dress of the president of this congress demanded the same protection for the products of the farm ixs is extended to the products ot any olhor class of pro ducers , nnd declared that the farming Interests have been made the helpless victims of monopolistic conspiracies , and been filched of the earnings nnd profits of their honest labor. This congress marked an important stngo in the progress of agricultural combina tion. Moro recently there have boon conventions of farmers' alliances in a number of the states of the south , nil of which have followed the general lines laid down by the congress. The result ia a general expression in favor of the consolidation of the Southern Inter state Farmers' alliance with the organ ization known as the Wheel , the Farmers' union , and the Union Labor organization , the consoli dated union to bo known as the Farmers' and Laborers' Union of America. This organization , which will represent a membership of ov or ono million , will hold u convonnion at St. Louts next December , when it is hoped there -will unite with It the Farmers' Alhnnco of the northwest and the Farmers' Bonollt association , which would swell the membership to throe millions. This combination of the farmers of the south has reference pri marily to the control of the cotton crop , und how this is to bo done is indicated in a resolution adopted by the cotton com mittee of the intor-stato alliance , which recommends that the farmers of the south sell no cotton during the month of September , except what may ho absolutely necessary to meet obliga tions past due , while the Georgia alliance hqs asked the alliances of all the cotton states to make twelve and one-half cents the minimum vricu at which cotton shall bo sold. Thus the farmers ot the south propose to uostrict the sales and raisrf the price of cotton , a policy exactly in line with that of the trusts which they condemn. Of equal interest with this movement in the south Is that of the Farmers' Federation of the Mississippi valloy. This organization , which is a joint stock company , will hold a convention in St. Louis in October , the object being to institute a plan "to remedy the present expensive mode of marketing farm pro ducts that now have to pass through gateways and pay tolls to olor voters and stock yard companies , and enormous sums to commission men for going through the moro form of soil ing. " The statement is made that the farmers of the northwest are paying throe million dollars annually in ele vator and stock yard chargexa and ton millions in commissions for soiling , and it is claimed that by the plan proposed by this organization the farmers can save inn the matter of commissions nine million dollars annually. This plan is to "got nearer the consumers by dis placing ninety per cent of the commis sion mon , and then , by ono of the latent powers of the organization , to wipe out ninety per cent of the retail mon. " There is promised as a result of this ex periment "a marked improvement in prices and a revolution in the present costly methods of busi ness. " At a recent mooting of the stockholders of this organization a resolution elution was adopted advising the farm ers of the northwestern states and territories to hold their wheat off the market until after the meeting of the convention , "unless such prices shall bo olTorod as will justify a reasonable profit over and above the cost of pro duction , or ono dollar per bushol. " Thesp movements show a part , and the most serious part , of the grievances of which the farmers of the country now complain. They are interesting and important , but the question as to their wisdom can be answered only by results. Meanwhile their progress will bo re garded with general curiosity and concern , since they must affect moro or less a great variety of interests , and may exert , also , a degree of influence upon politics. A UNIFOItat IJANKnUPJCY LAW. A national convention of representa tives of the commercial bodies of the United States will moot at Minneapolis to-day tOjdiscuss a national bankruptcy law which they will endeavor to have adopted by congress. The movements in favor of such u law have hitherto coma from the mercantile centers of the east , nnd have not mot with very grout uncouragomont elsewhere. Now the initiative ) liaa boon taken in the west , meetings of commercial bodies having already boon hold in St. Louis nnd Milwaukee to pro mote an active and general effort throughout the country to Influence the next congress to pass u uniform bank ruptcy law. Such a measure was before fore the last congress , bat it did uot rench a vote. The last national bankruptcy law was chiefly objectionable because of the ex travagance of its administration. Ofll- cial costs frequently consumed the as sets ot insolvent debtors , leaving nothing for creditors , and tbo demand for the repeal of the law be came general. The bill reported in the last congress guarded against this abuse , as does the draft ot a law made by the commlttoo appointed at the convention hold in St. Louis last March. This proposed law , which may take the place of the bill before the last congress , limits the costs nnd fees , so that it would be impogsiblo under its operation to repeat the jn-ao ticoa which provoked BO much hostility to the former law. It is frco , also , from other sorlous defects of the former law , and provides for greater expedition in Bottling cnsog in bankruptcy. Its 'rumors have sought to secure oxant Justice to creditors and honest debtors , without imposing undue hard ships upon tlio latter. There has boon a steady growth of sentiment for sovornl years in morcnn- illo circles in favor of a now law , and MB hna become quite as pronounced in the west na in the oast. The enactment of n national bankruptcy law ia advo cated on the ground that it ia duo cred itors entitled to a just slmro of the bankrupt's assets , and duo the bankrupt hlmsolf , who Is crippled by unadjusted claims noldlng against him , nnd prevented from beginning nnow tnd repairing his broken fortunes. Many honorable , enterpris ing , but unfortunnta raon , are thus hlndorod from ngaln becoming prosperous - porous nnd useful citizens. Party spirit in congress has boon largely responsible for the fnlluro to pass a bankruptcy law s'.nco ' the last ono was repealed , but with the republicans in control of the next congress a favorable result is con fidently oxuoctod by the advocates of anew now law. There is n demand for reform in tha system of army promotions. The Wash ington correspondent of the Phila delphia Lcdijcr calls attention to the anomalous system under which pro motions in the army are made , and cites some striking illustrations of the re sultant injustice so far as subaltern olllcors are concerned. Promotion to the grades of major , lieutenant colonel nnd colonel is made according to lineal rank , while to the grades of first lieu tenant nnd captain promotion is entirely regimental and con fined to the corps to which the ofllccr belongs. This makes the pro motion of subalterns exceedingly slow. The correspondent notes a conspicu ous example of the working of this sys tem In the case of a first lieutenant who recently was promoted to a captaincy after a continuous service of twenty- two years in his regiment as a liouton ant. Ho eiitercd the regular from the volunteer service as a second lieuten ant of cavalry , and in 1800 was promoted to iirst lioutonant. Ho became a cap tain on the twentieth of last month. In the meantime it is stated that ono hundred men have entered the cav alry service and boon promoted ever him , the army register to-day bearing Iho names of sixty-five captains of cav alry who were below him on the list of second lieutenants in 1807. This appears not to bo an isolated case. The senior lieutenant of the Tenth cavalry graduated from West Point in 1869 , and in the Seventh cavalry there are three second lieutenants who graduated at the academy In 1877 , while cadets who graduated in 1883 are first lieuten ants. Other facts are given in evidence of the injustice resulting- from the prevailing system of promotion , under which some olflcors are advanced to a captaincy in a few years while others are compelled to wait half a lifetime for the promotion. Obviously such a system cannot but bo harmful to the morale of the array in bogottingidissatisfaution and consequent quent demoralization. The remedy suggested is to make the promotion of subalterns lineal instead of hampering it by regimental restrictions , so that length of service would receive its duo rowavd. Tnc congress of American nations , which , will meet : in Washington , October 2V may be productive of considerable good to the merchants of this country. South American nations generally are preparing to send delegates to the congress - gross , and a moro enlightened view of each country may bo obtained from a free interchange of views regarding trade relation ? . Last year the South American countries sold us 8110,000,000 moro than they bought of us , but the balance may be easily reduced or alto gether done away with if our people present their industrial advantages in the proper light. Among the things to bo considered are "measures looking to the formation of ap American customs union , under which the trade of the American nation 3 with ouch other shall , o far as * profitable , bo promoted ; the adoption of a uniform system of weights and meas ures ; the establishment of regular and frequent communication bctwocn ports of the several American states , and other plans having in view the mutual profit of the various countries. Un doubtedly a satisfactory arrangement on these and other essential points will have a tendency towards a very largo and profitable increase in our future trade with the South American re publics. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TUB county commissioners have at last taken tbo right stops to vindicate themselves. They have requested that the district judges call , u special grand jury to investigate the management of county affairs. If such a grand jury is empaneled it should bo mudo up of our very best business men. Ilnngors-on who live upon county and city patron age should bo oxcluded. Some of them may bo prejudiced against the commis sioners , while others would bo justly liable to a suspicion of being - ing under the commission ers' influence. The last time the grand jury investigated certain abuses in city government the proceeding was a farce , simply because tlio membership of the grand jury was such oa to makn it impossible to indict any boodler , no matter how flagrant his abuse might huvo been. The boodlera bad just enough friends nnd coparceners in the grand jury to prevent a true bill being presented. JOHN GIIASS , the famous Sioux chief , is dying.

Another appren tice boy of the United States steamer Now Hampshire , the third in less than a week , died to-day of typhoid fover. The ship's au thorities huvo ordered tents and blankets to enable the bovs to camp on the sand while the ship is being disinfected. THE clearness of plate-glass windows is impaired by washing them with soap containing resin , which always leaves a thin , semi-transparent coating over the surface. Ivory Soap contains no resin , and if used with tepid water , a sponge to apply the soap and water with , and a chamois to rub the window-pane "dry , your windows will prove the truth of the saying : "Clear glass is to a house what beautiful eyes arc to a woman. " A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps , each represented to be " just as good as Iho' Ivory' ' | " they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine , Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon gelling it.
