Tin :
Every day diminishes the chances of
tiirllT legislation on the lines of the Ma-
Klnloy bill. It Is said that western sen
ators who have positive views about the
feeling in their section against raising
the duties , and the Now England sena
tors who are pressed by the demand for
free raw materials , nro united In the
determination to defeat the policy in
volved in Iho now tariff bill. There has
been no formal agreement to this end ,
but according to ono report there la a
tacit understanding that the measure
which will bo reported to.tho senate , and
which ns a whole- very little Imorovo-
niont upon the house bill , shall not ho
allowed to pass. These republican op
ponents of the proposed tariff nro said to
bo trying in tin informal way to fix a
" 1)111 they can support , which will include
a reduction of wool , lumber and other
duties from the rates proposed in the
mciisuro of the senate finance committee ,
in short a general downward re
vision except in cases where the
retention of the present or pro
posed duties can be clearly justified.
There might bo little possibility of pass
ing such a measure , but it would at least
have the good olToct of arresting the ten
dency to an Increase of duties , which is
undeniably hostile to Iho general sontl-
mont , as well as to the Interests and
welfare of the country.
Another report is that there is a plan
to shelve the tariff bill , in deference
both to the programme of Secretary
Blaine and in order to prevent
the deficit which would follow
the loss of revenue from su
gar and the proposed reduction of the
tobacco tux , estimated at about sixty-four
million dollars a year. There is very
likely , however , nothing in this , for the
reason thnt ovary republican in congress
must understand that it would bo only a
less serious mistake for the party to
abandon all effort to revise the tariff
than to give the country such a policy
us the measures already prepared pro
pose. So far as the programme of
Secretary Blaine is concerned it presents
no serious difficulties for this
country , whatever may bo thought of
the chances of its accomplishing the ob
ject sought. It proposes a conditional
policy which in no event could bear any
harder upon our paoplo than that now
in operation , but in which tboro is the
possibility of largo advantages , and it
would apply only to a few features of
the tariff. There is no good reason
why tariff revision should be abandoned
on account of this programme designed
to promote trade reciprocity be
tween this and other America )
countries. As to preventing a deficit
this can bu done only by reducing ex
penditures , since oven with the preson
tariff and excise systems undisturbci
the revenues of the government wil
certainly fall short of the appropriation :
already made and In contemplation
There is still another influence spoker
of which may not bo entirely withou
weight , nt least with senators win
sympathize with the policy of the secre
tary of state , and that is the throat
ot a commercial war against
the United States by a unior
of European countries in the event o
the adoption of the proposed tariff pol
icy. It is not to bo doubted that the
passage of the McKinley bill by the
house is regarded in Europe as justify
ing a scheme of retaliation , nnd it is
said that Secretary Blaine is in rocoipl
of information from our representatives
in European countries that this is being
seriously contemplated. It is easy tc
exaggerate tlio importance of such a
throat , and it is also possible tc
underestimate it , but only those
will bo disposed to ignore it who , like
Mr. McKinley , believe that the people ol
this country are under no necessity tc
take any account of foreign markets foi
their products.
It is expected that the tariff bill will
bo taken up by the senate for discussion
within a few days , when a bettor judg
ment can bo formed as to its probable
fate. Meanwhile the indications are
such as to reassure- those who believe
that the policy proposed would result in
retarding the progress and prosperity ol
the country.
THK VQTK OF TUB F.Uf.U.
The activity of the farmers' organiza
tions in the south and west is a matter
of-groat interest and solicitude , accord
ing to Washington advices , to many of
the politicians in congress. Some of the
democrats who have long represented
districts in the south nro in danger of
defeat by men put forward by the Farm
ers' Alliance , nnd such as are thus
threatened are manifesting a disposition
to put themselves in accord with many
of the demands of the farmers. A few
southern democratic congressmen who
have publicly expressed themselves re
garding some of the radical proposals of
the farming class have shown the coinage -
ago to oppose them , but the largo ma
jority have been careful to kcop their
opinions to themselves. In portions of
the west there is also a good deal of concern -
corn among the politicians , nnd it is more
than probable that some of them will bo
relegated to private- life bccauso their
views of public policy are not approved
by their farmer constituents.
In view of the active concern which
the agricultural class throughout the
country are minlfo3ting : in political af
fairs , the extent of the farm vote is a
matter of interest. The population of
the United States in 1S30 was in round
numbers fifty millions. According to
the census of that year the male popu
lation engaged in all occupations was a
little loss than fifteen millions , nearly
one-half , or over seven millions , being
classed as agricultural. Practically half
the vote of the country ton years ago
came from the farm. The present
total population of the country
is approximately sixtyfivemillions ,
and if It bo assumed , which may fairly
bo done , that during the last decade the
growth of the farm class has kept pace
with that of the other industrial-groups ,
the relative proportion of the farm vote
for tha whole- country has boon main
tained. In the Oast farming has , it ia
presumed , relatively declined , but the
deorcuso 1ms boon made good in the
west and northwest. It would seem rea
sonably safe to say , therefore , that the
agricultural element In our population at
present numbars not far from thirty-
two millions , and it wo adopt the
ratio of volora to population In J&SO ,
which was ono to flvo and four-tenths ,
an applicable now , the result uhowa the
present farm vote to bo about five mil
lion nlno hundred thousand , or but ono
hundred thousand leas than half the
total vote ot the country.
It thus appears that the farmers con
stitute an army of voters sufficiently for-
tnldablo to bo worthy of all Iho attention
they are receiving , nnd to be able , wore
they united , with very little assistance
from" tlio non-agricultural classes
of voters , to control the ad
ministration nnd policy of the govern
ment. This largo army of voters are
considering moro carefully and deeply
than perhaps over before all questions of
public policy , and while they have al
lowed themselves to bo led astray In
eomo directions by incompetent teachers
and false guides , they generally have an
Intelligent conception of the principles
which promise the greatest good to the
greatest number. The farm vote of the
United States has always been an honest
and a patriotic vote , and It will continue ,
to bo found tu a whole sustaining what
ever Is for the credit and welfare of the
nation.

O.MAit.vBnn.
This is a fair sample of the unhappy meth
ods of the man on tho-hill. Every clllzon of
Omaha knows that had it not been for the
systematic obstruction offered by Hosowntcr
to tlio final settlement of the postofllco matter
worlc on that structure would already bo well
under way. H'orM-7/crnM.
This is only ndding insult to injury.
Every man , woman and child in Omaha
knows that the location of the postolllco
building was a job begotten by mercen
ary speculators. Everybody knows that
the Planters' house square is not worth
two-thirds of four hundred thousand dollars
lars which the government was made
to pay for it , when it could
have bought a moro available and larger
piece of ground for ono hundred thou
sand dollars less.
By engineering this job the owner of
the n'orM-J/craMsold fifty thousand dollars
lars worth of property for seventy thou
sand and helped his father-in-law to dis
pose of the tottering old block opposite
the now silo for something like forty
thousand dollars moro than it was worth.
That deal would pay for several trips to
Europe and make good the monthly do-
licit of the Worril-JIcmld for a year nt
least.
And while Hitchcock nnd his co
parceners were plotting to perpetrate
this barefaced job they kept up n roar
ing cannonade at Rosowntcr , Snunders.
Council and others who were urging the
location on a site that did not have to be
condemned by the government nnd ol
which , the title could have .bcen per
fected in thirty days. Thnt was fifteen
months tigo and the hue and cry wvs
thnt Rosewater , Saunders and Connell
were causing damaging delay that would
prevent the immediate erection of grand
blocks and structures , keep hundreds
o thousands of dollars out oi
circulation , and deprive hundreds ol
mechanics and laborers of lucrative em
ployment. Like the pickpocket who
cries "Stop thief" while running awny
with his plunder , Hitchcock actually had
the audacity to publicly urge business
men to withdraw their patronage from
THE BEE , nnd ho made an organized
raid in North Omaha among its sub
scribers , while private circulars , urging
a boycott of Tins BEK , were being sent
out from the business olllco of the World.
Such .in audacious ! and sneaking piece of
piracy never had been known in Omaha.
No business man with any decency or
integrity would have dared to resort to
such methods.
Having retarded the erection of a now
public building at least two years the
same cormorants now turn round and
actually charge the damaging delay
upon Rosewntor , nnd assort that ho has
obstructed the final settlement between
the owners and the government.
This certainly docs cap the climax of
indecency and malignant mendacity.
Whore , when and how has Rosewater
obstructed the final settlement of the
title ? Can they cite a single act on his
part to delay the settlement in any way ,
shape or manner , cither in Omaha or in
Washington ?
It is true that Mr. Hitchcock is not at
homo , but ho ought to have taken cnro
to put a man in charge of his paper who
knows enough not ; to provoke and force
a controversy in which lie and his paper
must appear in nn unenviable light before
fore this community.

They will claim for themselves all the
virtues and stigmatize all their oppo

will draw harrowing pictures about
the depravity of high license and

ignore the stubborn fact that constitu

IT IS A BOOK TO HEADERS.
The attention of every reader is directed to
tbo attractive offer made by this paper , as
set forth in another column. It embraces ono
year's subscription to Tun DAILY Bii : ; , to
gether with n complete set of the American
ized Encyclopaedia Bi-ittanica for § 30. Such
an offer was never made by any newspaper ,
and the fact that wo nro nblo to make it is n
striking illustration of the wealth producing
progress of the world in this wondrous ago of
electricity and steam. The cost of producing
the encyclopaedia has considerably exceeded
81,000,000. The cost of producing Tun Bun
for a year reaches far up into tlio scores of
thousands. That two sueh works should bo
placed at the disposal of every reader nt a
prlco so small that the saving of barely 8
cents daily for n single year will cover it , nnd
on terms so easy as to involve no inconven
iences of economy this surely is u triumph.
What TUB BF.B is , itis uot necessary to say.
Hero it is , speaking for itself. The reader
who falls to rccognizo its excellence as ho po-
riiscs it would hardly gather belief from any
self-laudation , however Justifiable.
D What the Americanized Encyclopedia Brit-
nnnlea Is , howovcr.is a matter as to which in
formation Is less generally diffused. The
Encyclopedia Britannica is regarded by nil
students and literary men ns the standard
reference authority of the English spanking
world. For nearly ono hundred and twenty
years it hns stood a the head of its peculiar
class of literature , employing on Its nine cilt-
tions ttio most celebrated writers of success

essary to secure the services of the foremost
men in every department of human knowl
edge , essays , discretions and descriptions by
such men as Mncuulny , Jeffrey , Leigh Hunt.

well.This Is the work which forms the basis of
the Americanized Eneyelopjudla Britannica ,
which Is , as its name imports , the original
Britannica remodeled , amended and , whore
necessary , enlarged to nt it to occupy in
American Uomcs the place hold by the orignal
work among the people of England. Articles
on subjects peculiarly Interesting to Amer
icans such as th6 historic. ? and descriptions
of American states and cities , accounts of
military operations on American soil , descrip
tions of peculiarly American Industries nnd
institutions havo. been entirely rewritten ami
greatly enlarged'the space allotted to matters
uninteresting except to Englishmen being
correspondingly reduced. A most complete
series of biographies of living persons of
whom no mention is made in the original
worlc , its plan excluding notices of any but
the dead has been added , a number of now
maps , including ono of every state in the
union , have been Introduced , nnd the entlro
work has boon corrected to bring it Into line
with the progress of history nnd scitmco up
to the present year. The net result Is a compl
lation that InlntcrcJtnml reliability surpasses
the original I2nuyooi | > a3lia ( IJritiuiteu us far

of its kind.
It may not haremiss to say hero n few
words of ono of the uses of a worlc like the
Americanized Eniyclopoidlu Brlttmicn , cto
which many ot our readers , perhaps , give
little thought. Thtf high prlco nt whieli the
Encyclopedia Britantca and its competitors
have hitherto been offered have resulted in
limiting tliolrsalo to literary men and com
paratively wealthy families , mid tlio effect of
ttiU limitation has been that by the great
miigs-ttf the American people an encyclo
paedia Is looked on iut a work of referencennd
nothing moroj something useful to students ,
but rarely needed by men of non-profosslonol
vocations. How mistaken this Idea is any
body will Instantly see who will take the
trouble to glance throjgh it volume of the
Americanized Eneyclopicdia a BriUnk-a.
From end to end It abounds in readIng -
Ing of the most delightful kind biogra

niul mui-hlnory. Tharo 1 * hardly a payo of It
that will not hold the mind enchained , The
iiillueiu-o of such a literary collection In a
family Is Incalculable , It aids the education
of the young ; It expands and strengthens
the minds of older itoopUi it fosters a taste
for profUnhlo reading and saves the young
from ono of the greatest dangers of our day
the temptation offered by the thousands of
cheap , trashy niul corrupting books that

Did you have occasion to pass through tha
corridors of tiny of the leading hotels In
Omaha yesterday , nnd If BO did you fool then
being Jnrrod by some mighty farca which
inndo you Imaclno that nn elephantine fctu -
WAS In progress nnd that all Asia nnd Afrlui *
had contributed guests to llio occasion ) A
If so , you were Just slightly mistaken , not J M
perhaps as to feeling n great Jar , but almpl ) s P
mistaken about the cause.
The phenomenon was occasioned by tL f
fact of there being four one , two , throe ,
four full blown , heavy weight , hopeful hut
hnrrassod candidates for governor of No-
liraalta nmhltng hither and thither across tha
tile nnd tufted lloors.

Talk about going to the cirjiwnnd drlnklt.j .
red lemonadot It never compared with the
nport there was to bo obtained yesterday by
watching thoio gubernatorial entries dodge
ono another ns they moved about upon their
polnterst getting errands.
You wouldn't have thought thn't any one of
them know that the rest were In town.
For once in their lives those four prominent
charnctm-s had met bychancol Kept their
backs toward each other I Never visited the
same Ice water tank together I Seated thom-
selves as fur away from ono another as they
could conveniently.
Indeed , no midsummer scene In Omaha
1ms over been lu such striking contrast to
the weather.
Early in the nftonioon n heartless rumor
was set afloat that Candidate Mercer had
placed a train of his most prettily painted
street carj at his disposal of the visiting op
ponents. This was speedily contradicted ,
however , nt vast expense to the doctor.
All four of the gentlemen carried con
tinually nbout with them n little card upon
which was emblazoned this insignia :
' ' ' ' ' ' '
i' 'Douglas'Countv' , 00 VotcsV' :
j Get 'liml :
On the hack of this card was the picture of
n rabbit's foot. Whenever ono of the car
riers heard what seemed to bo a dishearten
ing report ho would Hash the card before his
eyes , then turn it over and rub his fueo with
the rabbit's foot.
In this way they nil succeeded in keeping at
their task with a high strung vigilance that
must have resulted in grout good to their
cause.
What did they say when approached regarding -
garding their performance !
They simply wouldn't have anything to do H
with u newspaper man , though their
"wouldn't" was invariably accompanied bv n
smile that wmi sis melting as the weather , aim
about forty different questions as "to the way
it looks In Omaha. "
The outgoing evening trains went their way
as usual , and the gentlemen with little tabs
were seen no more.
