AGAINST A A'Bir VQTIK MAN.
The position taken by the llocky JUoim-
row A'euvmgninst the nomination for the
presidency by the democratic party in
1802 , of Ctovolund , Iltll or any other Now
York man , and its appeal to the demo
cracy to give the west and south a
clianco , is porhn'ps somewhat premature ,
but it will Incite discussion of ti matter
which a considerable number of demo
crats bullovo to 1x5 of the very
greatest importance to their party.
The suggestion that the democracy
should look elH3whero than to New York
for its next presidential candidate Is not
original with the jVciM. It was Very
forcibly presented some months ago In a
mngnzino nrtlclo and fully u year ngo
several prominent newspapers in the
south urged the same Idea , advising the
party to look to the west for its next
candidate. Every democratic candidate
for tlio presidency since 1801 has been
taken from Now York , and George 13.
McClellan was essentially a Now York
man. The fact that but ono of these was
elected and ho was afterward defeated ,
losing New York , has convinced many
thoughtful democrats that it is time to
stop depending upon that state for its
presidential timber und to attempt to
make a breach In the western strong
hold of republicanism by taking the
democratic candidate from that section.
There are several considerations or
theories , more or less forcible , urged in
support of this view , but they nro con
fronted by conditions so formidable ns
not to bo easily overcome. The most
important of these is the fact that there
is no democratic leader in the weat who
has availability ns a presidential candi
date , and the southmay as well bo left
out of the question , for it will bo a great
many years yet before a man from that
section can bo elected to the presidency.
Another of the conditions is that Now
York is absolutely necessary to demo
cratic success , and is likely to bo for a
long time to come , so that it is
of the first importance to con
sult the wishes and satisfy the
demands of the democracy of
the Empire state. So long as this is
done Now York may remain -in the
doubtful list , with the chances a little in
favor of the democrats , but whenever a
national convention sluill ignore the
wishes and demands of the democracy of
that' state , distinguished for arrogance
and rapacity , the effect would very likely
be to place the chances largely in favor
of the opposing party. The democrats of
Now York have for so long a time had
pretty much their own way in dictating
party candidates that they will not sur
render it without a very hard struggle ,
nnd their defeat would certainly produce
widespread indifference and more or less
defection among them.
But without inquiring more fully into
the conditions which will preclude the
next national democratic convention from
selecting a candidate outside of Now
York , it is obvious that the appeal of the
iVeiCN and those who think with it will bo
futile , for the reason that the democratic
party is already committed to the renom-
inution of Cleveland as the only availa
ble man who represents its controlling
principles and policy. Every democratic
convention , state or congressional , hold
this year , has given most distinct utter
ance of loyalty and partiality to Clove-
land. The- most influential orguns of the
party with two or three exceptions
and the sincerity of the democracy of
these is not altogether unquestion
able are unqualifiedly in favor of the
rcnomination of the ox-president , and
wo do not know of any party lender ,
north or south , except Governor Hill ,
who is opposed to making Mr. Cleveland
again the democratic presidential stan
dard bearer. The desire of the .ZVeu'a to
see the democratic party relieved of the
domination of its sottish and unpatriotic
New York wing is most commendable.
That domination is quite as harmful nnd
dangerous as tlio inlluenco of the south
ern element of the party. But the
democracy will not be able to throw it off
so long us its success depends upon the
thirty-six electoral votes of the Empire
state , und this it is likely to do for some
years to come.
A PENSION HILL AGlttlllD OA'
The pension bill agreed on by the con
ference committee ulid passed by the
house Is a compromise measure , but the
scnato conceded much less than the
house. It is simply a dependent pension
bill , the house buying yielded its demand
for a service pension , and its estimated
cost will bo no greater than the measure
that was passed by the si-niito and
amended by the house by add
ing pensions for service and ago.
The senate members of the con
ference committee announced at the out
set that under no circumstances would
they agree to the demands of the house ,
which would have Imposed upon the gov
ernment additional pressing' obligations
to the amount of fifty or sixty million
dollars and the alternatives being thus
presented of abandoning these demands
or .allowing pension legislation to fail ,
tlio house conferees wisely decided to
make tlio surrender.
The bill agreed on will undoubtedly
pass the senate and will receive general
public approval. The great majority of
the people believe it to bo the duty of
the government to make liberal' pro
vision for the disabled und dependent
union soldiers and sailors , and will bear
willingly whatever additional burden
the performance of this duty may Impose.
They will regard it as just to extend this
beneficence of the government to
the dependent parents , the widows
und the minor children of all
who responded to the call for the
defense of the government , so
that there will be no objection to the
feature of this bill which recognizes the
ninety-day men who received an honor
able discharge. The numbar of those *
who uro disabled und dependent , und of
the widows und minor children of such ,
is not so lurgo 119 to make a formidable
addition to tlio pension roll. The dc-
m = -l of this class upon the treasury will
constitute only a very small part of the
increnso in the pension account which
this bill will make. But the legisla
tion which the house hud proposed
was objectionable for the reason that it
provided for ixmslonlng everybody , re
gardless of their length of service in the
army or their physical and ilnunciul
condition , because it would operate un-
v to a lurgo number of veterans , and
for the no less potent reason that it
would have IneravHcd the pension obli
gations of the government .to an amount
which under present conditions would bo
extremely oppressive.
The pnssngo of the conference bill nnd
Ha approval by the prcsldont , of which
there appears no reason to doubt , will
dispose of general nrmiion legislation at
the present session , and the duty of the
party in control of the government to
the old soldiers will have been justly and
faithfully discharged. Tlio pension ac
count of the government will bo ma
terially Increased , but the money paid to
worthy nnd needy veterans , or thono
who have a just claim to the care of the
government In their' name , will bo
cheerfully provided.
THIS murringc of Mr. William O'Brien ,
the famous Irish leader , and Miss Buf
falo vlch , may well bo termed a romance
in revolutionary life. No man iu Ire
land commands to a greater degree the
respect and admiration of his country
men und of ull who honor unselfish
patriotism. Mr. O'Brien's y.oul in the
homo rule cause amounts to a mania.
Tlio Indignities he has endured , the per
secutions and punishments suffered for
the cause show that ho is animated by
the loftiest motives. His judgment is
intuitive rather than logical , yet in the
most critical moments ho instinctively
grasps the situation and confounds the
enemy. Possessing talents of high
order which would readily bring
him n competence , helms sacrificed all
for the advancement of his countrymen.
Tlio bride is a worthy companion for the
distinguished patriot. Born in Franco
of Russian parents , she inherited the
spirit of resistance to oppression , and
for years has devoted her energies to
supporting the Irish cause by contribu
tions to continental newspapers und
periodicals , in which she displayed a
minute and accurate knowledge of the
questions nnd an intense udmir-ation for
the struggles of the people. In. addition
to her literary capabilities , wide ac
quaintance and womanly graces , she en
joys an annual income of twenty thou
sand dollars a year , which .is itself a
most desirable acquisition to a man who
is us poor us the proverbial church
mouse.
IT is not easy to understand what in
fluence or motive could have prompted
the committee on education and labor of
the house of representatives to decide
upon reporting favorably the Blair edu
cational bill. No action of either house
of the present congress was received
with more general popular approval
than the defeat of this measure in the
senate , and there was a nearly universal
hope that this result would end the
effort to impose on the coun
try legislation which it had
been clearly demonstrated the largo
majority of the people wore opposed to.
The author of this bill bus not had the
temerity to attempt to again got it be
fore the senate , but it may be that ho
has been abH to induce the house com
mittee to tnko it up and bring it forward
in that body. If such is the case the
committee has much to answer for , and
every member of it who has agreed that
the bill shall be reported should bo sum
marily dealt with by his constituents.
Wo can conceive of nothing which the
majority of legislators and editors would
regard with greater dismay than the
necessity of having to repeat the discus
sion of this bill to promote mendicancy.
Speaker Reed can strengthen himself in
the public regard by keeping the meas
ure from consideration at least during
the present session.
WITH its usual stupidity , the
rushes to the defense of the combine , by
assorting that the council has no control
over property assessments. This will
do to tickle the gang. The truth is the
council devoted several weeks in January
und February as a board of equalization ,
and manipulated the assessment of city
property regardless- the returns of the
county assessors. The Ifyyhen should
steer clear of local topics and confine it
self to "The Marriage Problem" und
"Protected Night Gowns , " twp branches
of domestic economy it is peculiarly
qualified to intelligently discuss.
PROF. COUN\\'ALT , of Aberdeen , S. D , ,
is needlessly alarmed about the welfare
of Omaha. The people of this city uro
thoroughly competent .to manage their
own affairs , und the efforts of nonresidents
dents iu that direction uro impertinent
und uncalled for. The professor's trip
to New York in behalf of "The Battle
at Omaha" is n gratuitous insult to the
city. His object is not entirely unselfish.
On the contrary it is u scheme to raise
funds to pay for tlio services of a horde
of imported shouters , whoso solo means
ot existence and notoriety depend upon
a continuance of prohibition agitation.
THK local financial situation continues
comfortable and rates are steady at
eight per cent , with a fair demand ex
isting for loans und deposits keeping up
very well. General tnido is good und
collections are satisfactory in the coun
try , but drag somewhat in the city.
Among the smaller retailers complaint
is heard that trade Ls not active and thut
the larger down town stores monopolize
too much of the business of the city. The
local produce markets uro well supplied
and prices uro somewhat lower , owing to
the abundance and to the' wurm weather
prevailing.
TIIK duty of the county commissioners ,
sitting us u board of equalization , is
plain. Every foot of property legally
taxable , must bear its share of the pub-
lie burdens and millions invested in im
provements last year should bo listed ut
the average rato. An increase must be
shown in the total valuation to cor
respond with the aggregate investment
in permanent improvements.
THE labors of the cqunty board of
equalization cull bo materially expedited
by consulting the records'of the building
inspector's oftleo for the past year. A
lint of the permits issued for buildings
nnd the estimated cost will enable tlio
board to uccuratoly determine one ele
ment of the proper pur cent of incruiiso
in the taxable property of Omaha ,

she loved and driven from home.
The only place where she found a welcome
was at a disreputable place in this city run
by n colored woman. She w.-w seized with a
terrible disease and was also shortly to be-
comca mother. In this condition she was
kicked In the stomach by the colored woman ,
who Is no other than the notorious Belle
McGingan , nndwas thrown .into the street
to die. She was found by the pollen lying In
tlio street almost unconscious , groaning with
pain and unable to walk. The only garment
she had on was a faded calico ureas. The
ofllcers had no place to taito her and they
forced the McGingan nczress to allow her to
lie on one ot her beds. The helpless girl lay
there for twenty-four hours without food ,
water or medicine , and had to suffer the
abuse of the MeGlngan female , while the
ofllcers were endeavoring to find some place
where the unfortunate creature would bo

stated has over been uttered to me. I have
not spoken to Mr. Marquette and have not seen
him for more than three months , and have not
heard from him directly or indirectly. I have
not seen Messrs. Mosher or Palmer for a' week
or more , and I have not heard from them by
letter. The writer well knew he was making
up a statement out of whole cloth. If this is
enterprising journalism , then let the World-
