J'Kiu Notnrv 1'ubllc , x's prandiloquont loiter poa- the old fninilitir women in domitnd iu the now states are evidently not ot the shorthaired - haired variety. TUB International packing company sootns to bo u bijfijor concern than the Chicago courts. K are not many mon who can steal election vouchers nnd build churches with eriual facility. HOAV DO the Polish citizens of Omaha lilco boiiijj offered for sale , lil < o so much cord wood , by a nondescript refugee ? THE grand jury should hasten that report. It is cruel to keep the democ racy on a hot griddle ou the eve of the convention. I.V THU coinmibsionofB continue tc throw away money by the double hand ful there won't bo enough loft to pay of ! the grand jury. Wiuox this election is over it will be generally understood that the fehorUT'e offlco is not to bo an heirloom in the Coburn family. Cox.VKCTicirr rejected prrhibition by a vote of three to one , while the Drv- kotas planted Uio drug store on the sites of the saloons. Dn. SuwnxsKi , patriot , politician nnd builder of churches , probably regrets - grots now that Carter Harrison didn'l mnko a health officer of him. IT iuiioovis : : Air. Boyd to utter an other resolution. With the coronet camping on his trail , there is grave danger of an early post-mortem. Tin : persuasive influence of tne Omaha motor wag felt in St. Louis , nnd a reduction of fares oa the Holt Line promptly followed. This notion is a gratifying relief to suburban resident * . Tin : report that a contract had been entered into for the sale of four hun dred full grown Poles for a hundred and fifty dollars was probably a canard started to bear the Omaha coal market. Govuuxoii THAYUR coincides with Tim Bur that the candidate for tlio va cancy on the district bench elected next month takes his seat as soon as his elec tion is certified. For this reason the governor declined to make an appoint ment. Por.mc'.u. patriotism and public business should not bo confounded. If the county commibsionors uro deter mined to support a campaign organ , lot them go down into their purses like mon for the wherewith. The Douglas county treasury should not bo nmdo a medium of charity bequests. KKiu'Uio street railway corporations out of the parks. If one company is granted the privilege of on taring the parks , rival companies cannot bo de nied the sirtno privilege. Give them an inch nnd they will tauo a mile. The Gtrcots are wide and long enough lor their- purpose , and they should bo rig idly confined thereto. Till- : anonymous patriot deplores the folly of the Douglas county bar endorsing ing n candidate for the district bench. If the inntk wore torn from his face , it is quite probable that an aspirant for partisan convention hocora would stand revealed. The anonymous writer i is afraid or ashamed to publicly father his opinions. IN the scramble for the higher ofllcos , the voters should look closely after the justices of the , peace , Competency and honesty in these ofllcos is as desirable as in the county building , The law limiting the number und onlaiging the districts , insures a good salary for the occupants and they should bo raised from the present level of cobt mills and * ! ) of dt liiou * justice. INTEll-STATE J/llf TIJJIBATEiVBD. There are indications Ihal n vtgoroui effort will bo rnndo during the coming ecwsion of congress to repeal the inter etnto commerce lnwnnd that falling , ai undoubtedly it would , to secure such r modification of its most vital provision ) as would practically destroy ita Useful ness. The investigations of the sonatt committee regarding the operation o the law disclosed n great deal of hostll ily to it , particularly In Now England nnd it is from that quarter tha the most vigorous effort U to b < expected in favor of repealing the Inv or changing it in very material i'C' ' spects. Whether this opposition wll obtain any considerable support frott any other quarter remains to be soon. As to the result of nn attempt to re peal the law there can bo no doubt In the last congress lloproaonlatlvf Morse , of Massachusetts , introduced i 1)11 ) ! for this purpose , only to ills cover that ho could not rally a cor poral's guard to its support. U Is al ready understood that another Massa chusetts congressman will itjtro duce n similar bill in the next congress and doubtless with a like experience , The composition of the Fifty-first con gtcss Is not so greatly different frotr that of its predecessor as to warrant tin expectation that it will show tiny extensive tensive change of .sentiment , respecting the policy of maintaining the principle of the intor-stato commerce nut , it being - ing safe to presume that a very largo majority of the new members arc favor able to the act. But with regard to modifying ccrtair provisions of the act , generally dcemet the moat vital , there may bo some dan ger. It is quite possible lhat proposi tions to modify the anti-pooling anil long and bhort haul clauses will find i formidable support in congress. Tlu railroad interests quite gononxlly wil exert their influence in favor of modi fying the former nnd some will do the same as to the latter , while there is un questionably u public sentiment else where than in Now England favorable to modifying the long and short hau clause. Wo believe , however , that tin great preponderance of santimcn in the country is against any chinrgo it these provisions of the intor-stalo ao that will reduce their force , and that tlii : will make itself o btrongly felt as t < ttofcat any attempt to emasculate tin law. law.A A great deal , however , will depeni upon the character of the report wind the senate coinmitto shall make , am still more , perhaps , upon the viewi which the Inter-state commerce com mission shall submit to congress. I the public expressions of Chnirnint Cooley may bo accepted as relloctinf the judgment of Iho entire com mission ihcro will bo no influence fron thatsourco favorable to u tnodilicatior of the anti-pooling and long and shot- haul claubos. Judge Cooley is dis tinctly ou record as favoring these pro visions ot the law , and in ono of hi : latest plain and forcible talirs to tin railroad managers ho said that while it was to be admitted that tlio inter-state commerce act is not perfect , the amend ments required are such as wouli strengthen the principles it cmbodie nndholptothoirsurer enforcement. It view of this it is reasonable ti expect that any recommendations mode to congrcbs by the commission willhavi reference to making the law strongo and the provisions for its cnforcoinon broader. But , in any event , it will bo well foi the triends of the inter-stato commorci act to bo on their guard. There i every probability Unit it will bo vorj vigorously attacked , and while there i no Unngor of its being destroyed , then is ti possibility of its being weakened ii its most vital features. A H'S. General James R. Chalmers , the re publican candidate for governor o Misbissippi , has withdrawn. Ho di < this to avert bloodshed. Ho had several oral times been warned that if ho con tinued the convass the killing o negroes would commence and it wouli be charged to him. In every possible way he has boon harrassed since hi entered upon his campaign. Not lone since ho visited the town of Wes Point , whore bo was asked to maki a bpoech and consented to d ( so. But he could secure IK hall in which to holi a meeting , the mayor would not allov speaking in the streets , owners of property orty would not allow it to bo used foi the purpose , nnd General Chalmers wai not hoard at West Point. IIo wrote to a friend asto the chance ; of being allowed to speak in the towi of Columbus , and was advised to kccj away from that place. Ho was informei that the universal Bcntimont of the community was that ho would b < neither fairly nor kindly treated "I have heard the best men , " wrote this friend of General Chalmers "mon who are rogtirdod as consorva live , say lhat you would bo porsonalb abubod if you attempted to spank in Columbia. Indeed , throats of violence are openly made by many and applaudoi by others. The"representative negroes have requested mo to bog of you thu you do not go to Columbus , as they however innocent , will have to suffoi from the imagined wrongs tha it is said you do 'our civilization. " Finding , this to be the general slati ot all'alrs in Mississippi , Genera Chalmers decided that the onli course for him was -withdraw. . H < might have been willing to face shot guns in the hands of Mississippi demo crnts If only his own Ufa had boon a stake , but ho did not wish to put the lives of others in peril. No elaboration is necessary to poln the moral ot this circumstance , or ti give force to the testimony it hours re gnrding the spirit and character of Mis slsslppi dtmocraoy. General Chul mars was prominent in tin confederate cause and has en joyed the fullest confldonco o the friends of that cituso , Wore he a domocrutiu candidate lie would bt honored everywhere in Mississippi bj the dominant element. But having Uontlficd himself with the republican party ha is everywhere denied n publh hearing , his personal safety throatonor and the lives ot his friends and. blip- porters endangered. Mississippi nomoc racy now stands supreme for relent less intolerance. Unfortunately tot Gonornt Chalmers ho is not wholly blameless for this stuto of affairs. Hi has encouraged it in the past , and can hardly bo surprised that the lessons In taught nro now applied lo his own dls comllturo. But none the lean his ex porlonco is instructive as evidence o the present hopelessness of republican ism in Mississippi. Tiimtn WAS scoTinxa- rr. It 1ms been reported that the dele' gates of Chili nnd the Argentine Ho public to the congress of the A' oiiwii ; were very much opposed to the oler/tlbr of Secretary Blulnc ns president of Ihc congress , and that in consequence then was danger of these two countries no being represented In the coi.Terence. . Tlio enemies of Mr. Blaine have tiuuli the most of this story , but it turns ou that it had not the Icnst foundation ii fact. The Chilian minister is author ity for the statement. thai there was no opposition wliatov'or U Mr. Ulutiio personally , the only eiuostlor being as to whether ho could proporli bo chosen to preside over the congress not boinir a dologulo. When it was tie eidod that his selection would be propo ; theres was no opposition wluttovur , nnd the minister says that with ono accon nil the delegates are pleased with hli selection. There can bo no doubtof the propriot ; or appropriateness of Mr. Blninn pre.sid ing over the Pan-American congress. A precedent tor his "doing so issupplioc by the fact that Bismarck was prcsidon of a similar conference hold in llorlii in 1878 , and Mr. Elaine is entitled Ii this consideration by virtue of his hav ing originated the project of holding the congress. Of his Illness , also , then can bo no question. His brief ntldrcb at the organization of the congress wn so judicious and tactful lhat it hn > received nothing but cordial commendation dation , and his superior ability as i presiding ofllcor is well known. Ni other man has the qualifications ti mnko a inoro favorable impression upoi the foreign delegates. The congress will reassemble ii November with perfect harmony tun good feeling among its members , and ii that spirit will undoubtedly continue ti the close of its deliberations. nn : A'Bir n There is danger that a largo mimboi of our citi'/.cns will be disfranchised u tlio coming election. The registialioi law is uot only very btringont , bu btielly adapted to the wants of a largi city.To To begin with , it restricts registra tion to certain dqyB and fixed hours. I is almost out of rfuostion that the twen ty-live thousand- voters in Omaha ant South Omaha can" be registered in tin time to which the law limits the reg istrars , oven it- the provisions are no rigidly couiplicel with. The great ma jority of our voters are wngo-workors They cannot possibly leave their worl in the middle of the day to gat thorn- selves registered. The only hours in which registrar ; will sit iu the evening is between 7 and 0 o'clock for one day "of each of fem weeks before election. The law pro hibits registration after I ) p. m. Will the numerous questions which ante to bo propounded to each voter the most expert registrar wil not bo able to register mon than fifty voters in two hours , o two hundred in the four days. The re suit will bo that more than one-half tlu legal electors of this city will be dis franchisee ! . While the law eioes not absolute ! } prohibit citi'/.ens who are not registerei from voting at an election , there is si much reel-tape and affidavit making re quired as n condition for allowing ar unregistered citizen to vote that it wil make it next to impossible for citi/.on whose time is limiteel to exorcise theii rights. There is a bare possibility , however that this registration law may bo de clared void by the courts on account o radical defects. But it will not do foi voters to count upon that. Each ane every voter must present himself it person before the registrars and resris tor. Otherwise ho will not be given ! voice in the coining election. UXDKII a recent legislative enact ment trusts are illegal in Missouri The law declares it to bo a conspiracy punishable by due and imprisonment to on tot * into any trust or combination to rcgulnto or fix the price or quan tity of any article of inorehan diso to bo manufactured , ami i prohibits corporations from owning oi issuing trust certificates , and declares any contracts made with that object in view to bo in violation of law. Oper ating unuoi * this law the secretary ol state , whoso duty it is to see tlmt the annctmont is enforced , 1ms uddrossei circulars to officers of corporation ! doing business in the state , requiring them to inform him under out ! whether they have , since the enact ment , complied with its provisions , f will bo interesting to note what th < officers will have to say , for thero.is IK doubt tlmt in many cases they have violated the law. It will certainly have the ofi'oct in any event of nuikiiif monopoly assume a definite shape ii that stuto. * Youxo John Glover , of St. Louis , Inn announced himself ns a candidate foi Senator Vest's shoos. Mr. Glover if the gentleman who was the indirect causa of the collision between Colone John A. Cockorlll , the present man aging editor of the Now York World and Alo'i'/o W.

Viewed in any light , Mr. Hill and hit party are making i\ipid progress to the grave. POVKIITV und bioknuss are alulklnp through the valley of the Conomaugli and tlio cry of distress strikes heedless ears. . It is not the fault of a generous public that the wants of Iho homeless and needy wore not provided for. Mill ions in money , food and clothing have been sent in the valley , and nearly two million dollars remain in the bunds of the Pennsylvania flood committee , which it purposo'y ' refuses to distribute. Such fiCMiulalous' conduct is a disgrace to public charity , an insult to the donors , and an outrage on the sulTorinp poor. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E\"IIIY department ot trade is gravi tating to the triibt.
