77/B mint ) t'AtiTV .vomvr.vr.
U is beginning ! j bo pretty generally
xm'olvod that the convention which is
xi mot In Cincinnati next month , os
tensibly under the auspices of the farm
ers' alliance , to foi in n third party , is
really a movement in the interest of the
Imnocrnsy , Mural Tliit.sto.id , referring
.o the proposed convention , says that
"It Is a scheme to got up a sldo show
party in the north lo turn the country
over to the democratic party. The
south will bo so'.idly ' democratic' ,
of coin-so. Then , with a nice
: bird party with republican farmers
n it to illvldo the north , Iho job Is done ,
lust as the awfully fraudulent St. John
[ > arty stole the presidency for the demo
crats In 1881. " Senator Kdmunds , in an
interview a short lime since , said ho did
not think the third party movement
could bo dangerous to the democratic
party , because Itf. possible olTcct might
jo to throw the election of the next
president into the hoiifo of representa
tive ? , which Is overwhelmingly demo
cratic. "As to the danger of the republi
can party , " said the senator , "it is that
the farmers' alliance may carry in the
next presidential election some states
that would otherwise vote for the ropub-
lenn candidate , and thus , in olVect , if
.hero should bo no election by the people
ple , glvo the election to the domncrjitic
candidate by the house of ropro.sonta-
lives. " It is noteworthy that In the
south the alliance organs gonoral'.v do
nol favor the third party movement , and
although a few alliance leaders there
are comnmicu 10 11 , uioru is
ibundant reason to bcliovo that
the rank and file cannot bo in
duced to desert Iho democracy
in a national election. That the move
ment is receiving every possible encour
agement from democratic sources , par
ticularly in the north , is unquestionable.
Itviih stated a few days ago that the
chairman of the executive committee of
the National Association of Democratic
clubs was about to go on a western trip
for the purpose of designating agents to
work among the f .rmers with a view to
controlling tholr organization and promoting
meting the idea of an alliance candi
date /or / the presidency. The democratic
n ntional commiltco is said to have in
view efforts to the same end.
All this is beginning to bo clearly
seen and understood by the alliance
members of the west and northwest , and
they arc asking tbomsolvos whether
they can alTord lo bo the tall to the dem
ocratic kite. Kvidonco of loss of conll-
denco in the sincerity of the alliance
south appears in the sentiments ex
pressed regarding it by the leading
organ of the Iowa alliance and by the
action of the olllcors of the Kansas alii-
anco with reference to the Cin
cinnati convention. The former in
sists that there is alwoliUoly nothing in
common between the northern and
southern alliances. The latlor demands
that before the representatives of the
larmors 01 me wesi aim normwoHi go
into convention to form a third party ,
they shall know what to expect of the
southern alliance. This distrust is well-
founded , for Iho cardinal object of Iho
alliance south , in its advocacy of the
sub-treasury scheme , is to establish a
monopoly in cotton , v/hllo Its member
ship being almost wholly of men
who have always affiliated with
the democratic party , it can
not bo .depended upon to give united sup
port in a national election to an alliance
candidate. The opposition of its organs
to the third party movement is sufficient
nssuranco of the democratic sentiment
and sympathy which pervade the south
ern alliance.
The farmers of the west and north
west who have affiliated with the repub
lican party should most seriously con
sider whether they can afTord lo give
tholr influence and support to a move
ment BO unmistakably in the interest of
the dernocralic parly as .Iho ono
which is expected to have its
fruition in a third party at Cincinnati
next month. There is no possibility of
Iho election of an alliance candidalo in
1802 , bul such a candidalo mighl dofoal
Iho republican party. There is every
probability that the south will bo solid
for the democratic candidate , but the
democracy might lose several southern
states and still secure the presidency
through the house of representatives.
The situation promised by the third
party movement ought to receive the
very carolul consideration of every alli
ance member In the west and northwest
of republican antecedents.
TUK VUTUltK IS ALL , llinilT.
The eastern money lenders were
largely frightened out of the field by the
lll-tlmcd throats of so-called reformers
in Nebraska , South Dakota , Minnesota
and Kansas about the first of this voar.
The legislatures of all thcso states have
mot and adjourned except Minnesota.
The farmer statesmen failed in every
instance to damage the securlllos of
loans already made or lo remove Iho
safeguards of mortgagees. No usury
laws were passed and no radical changes
wore made in Iho methods or costs of
collection and foreclosure.
The farmers in all thcso Btatos were
restrained by the conservative good
sense of the business men in other walks
of Ufa from perpetrating
upon them
selves a sort of financial hurl kari.
When they stopped from Iho slump lo
Iho halls of loglslalioii they found
time to give the topics they had
dlbcussed in the hoalof the canvass more
tho'ight and attention. The result io
not only creditable to thorn , but of im
mense Importance to the states and their
constituents.
The farmers , ns well as others In the
west , are liquidating a great deal of
speculative indebtedness in those dull
times , and the outlook has been any
thing but cheering during many months
of adversity. It Is not surprising that
the farmer , who Ins sulTorod most from
the general failure of crops , should have
turned eagerly to legislation for help
and have boon ready to seize upon any
scheme , however wild , promising oven
temporary relief.
The return of the cropping season with
the prospect of abundance , the leniency
of his creditors and the reaction from
the political excitement of last fall have
nil combined to '
restore the farmer's confidence -
fidonco In the future. Ho no longer
talks of repudiating his debts. With
the adjournment of the legislatures and
the renewal of hope among the pro
ducers , the timidity of the capitalist Is
liki'wlso removed. Banks are beginning
to Invite instead of repel customers.
Hastorn money so suddenly withdrawn
from fear of unfavorable legislation Is
again offered for Investment.
Ono good crop with fair prices will
largely restore Nebraska lo her former
high place among investors , it will
make land values appreciate and Invllo
settlement. In no state of the union can
so much bo accomplished for the general
business welfare of the wholocommunlty
in a single voar as In this same Ne
braska. Tills has boon shown in other
periods of general misfortune , and 18)1 ! )

again on speaking terms.

It appears that the reply of Secretary
Ulalno to the last communication from
Premier Kudtni was ready at Iho time
when it was reported the Italian govern
ment would expect it. This serves to
glvo confirmation to the statement that
Italy had served notice on our govern ,
munt that an answer to its demands must
bo made within a specified time or ex
treme measures would bo adopted , and
it is not Improbable thai it will de
velop later on that such was the fact ,
and that the papers and correspondents
at Rome were boiler informed limn they
were given credit for being. At any
rate Mr. Blalno's reply has boon given
with greater promptness than is usual in
diplomatic correspondence , and on this
score at least the Italian government
can find no reasonable cause for com
plaint.
That It will bo any boiler satisfied
with this second enunciation of the alti
tude of the government of the United
States than it was with the first
is hardly to bo presumed , ninco
Iho last communication of the secretary
of state is substantially a restatement
of the position taken in the first , with
greater elaboration. There was noth
ing else lo do but to repeat , because Iho
established policy of the trovornincnl
had been clearly sol forth , and all that
Mr. Blaine could do in addition was to
explain to Kudini the reasons for thai
policy , of which presumably ho has nol a
very clear idea. It is understood that the
secretary of stale again informs the
Italian premier that the law must
take Its course , thai it cannot bo
hurried , and that Iho federal govern
ment cannot interfere with Louisiana in
the exorcise of the state's exclusive pre
rogative in the mailer , so far as Iho ex
ecution of the law is concerned. If the
authorities of Louisiana will punish the
slayers of the Italians at Now Orleans ,
well and good ; if not , they will have to
go unpunished. The federal govern
ment can do no more in the mailer
than it could if "all the men
killed had been natives of the
country , and the treaty with
Tt'llxTnrta lint tfmntirk * intrtltn !
rr in-vt rk f\t
it. That convention slipulalcs that
Italian suhjccts in Iho Unllcd Slales
shall enjoy Iho sumo protection that is
extended to American citizens , nnd the
protection is simply what is accorded by
Iho slalo laws as administered. If these
laws fail Ihcro is no rcmjdy open lo
American cilizons and equally none lethe
the subjects of foreign powers. Con
gress may hereafter give authority to
the federal government to in
terfere in cases where aliens ,
guaranteed rights by- treaty , arc denied
them by failure in Iho uilmfnislrallon of
stale laws , but until that is done the
principle stated by SecretaryBluino
must bo adhered to , whatever the Italian
government may think or do about it ,
Regarding indemnity , the secretary
of state says it will probably bo granted
the families of the Italians killed at Now
Orleans who are proven to have been
subjects of Italy , but this proof must bo
undoubted. The question of indemnity
must bo decided by congress , and
the proof of citizenship will , it is pre
sumed , have to bo supplied by Iho Ital
ian government. It is believed that not
more than Iwo of tlio 11 Killed were
Italian subjects , and it is said of thcso
that both were fugitives from justice ,
ono having been a professional robber in
his native land and the other a mur
derer. It remains to bo soon whether
the Italian government will bo disposed
to claim these nion as subjects , or if it
should do so what it will regard
as a just indemnity to the fami
lies of such men. It would seem
that there is not much
chnnco for an o.x-
tondcd controversy ever this issuo. The
attitude of the government of the United
States in Iho matter cannot bo chnngod ,
and If it in not satisfactory to Italy she
must cheese her course. It cannot bo
predicted with certainly wlml that may
bo , but it may bo made known within a
very short llmo.
AMONO well informed persons it is
generally concoJnd that the administra
tion of Indian affairs under Commis
sioner Morgan has boon exceptionally
successful , honest and progressive , lie
has come nearer divorcing the Indian
sorvlco from politics , notwithstanding
the unfavorable conditions under which
ho has at times labored , than any of his
predecessors. The order jusl issued by
President Harrison placing the superin
tendents , teachers and other em
ployes in the Indian schools and
the physicians and matrons in
the agency service , In a classification
under Iho civil service regulation
is u very long and important stop
toward divorcing politics absolutely
from the management of the Indian
business of the government. If the
president will follow up this order by
another which shall include the agent
and all the agency employes , and the inspectors
specters and special agents of the de
partment , the Indian problem will bo
greatly simplified. The present com
missioner has boon urging the executive
and the secretary to take the necessary
action to relieve the
sorvlco of the pres
sure from politicians during the entire
term of his olllco and Tun HKB notes

Why a Fat .Man PulT * .
In suggesting a new theory of the sun's
light and heat to the members of the liostou
Scientific society , Mr. Quorgo Smith , says
the Boston Globe , showed sciontlllo reasons
why a fat man should suffer moro than a lean
ono In summer ,
The now theory , briefly put , Is this : Grav
ity is an othoral force continually streaming
from space through every solar or celestial
body. If the body is not movable with rela
tion to some largo body , this force of gravity
becomes that form of molecular motion winch
wo call heat.
As gravity depends upon tlio mass of the
body , and us heat is , according to Mr. Smith's
theory , lu ono scnso gravity , it follows that
the larger a body is the hotter. Hoiico the

Opinions of tlio Coniioll'fl Kcfiisnl to
( Jrnilo It Down.
The disposition that the council made of
the ordinance providing for the grading
of Douglas street , from Sixteenth to
Twentieth was freely discussed yesterday
by property owners in the heart of the city.
They all expressed considerable surprise
ever tlio action taken by Councilman El-
snssor In reporting In favor of tlio ordinance
liolng placed on file. It wss the opinion that
it would bo passed and the street graded , ' as
soon nt least as funds nro available.
Lnst night when the report of the commit
tee was called for , Mr. Elsnsser , tlio chair
man suld : " 1 recommend that this ordinance
bo nlacod on file , ns there is no monov on
hand to pay for doing tlio work. "
ChalTco objected , saying : "This h n vital
matter nnd of importance to every person In
tlio cltv. "
Klsnsscr said : " 1 would have the report
and ordinance placed on lllo nnd wo can take
it tin when the funds arc available. "
"Wo can today get any number of contrac
tors who will do the grading and take their
warrant , paynblo when the money is col
lected , " said Clmtreo.
Elsasser said he had talked wtlu the county
commissioners and they were not sure that
they would let the city have any money to do
this work.
"This Is too important n matter to bo
pigeon-holed , " said Air. Tutt'o ' , "and I hope
the ordinance will not bo placed on file ' '
President Lowry said that bo knew that
the county coinmlssioiii-rs would do all they
can ngamst having any money expended In
"
the vicinity of Douglas titrect.
Mr. Cooper expressed his views , and In
doing so remarked : "Let it go on file , as that
Is the place for it , II the mossbacUs w.mt
the street graded lot them put up the money
nnd go ahead with tlio work. There nro
other streets besides this ono and the money
should not all be used < In ono place. "
Elsassiu-'s ' report was then adopted and the
ordinance went into the pigeon hole in tlio
Casper K. Yost , In speaking of tlio
action , said : "I fail to understand the
motives that Inspired the council in taking
this action. H was understood that tlio re
port on this ordinance was not to bo called
up last night , as Mr. Beehcl , the alderman
from the Fourth ward , was not
present. It looks us though the
report was made for the express
purpose of killing the ordinance.
"I would like to see every street in the city
praded , but I consider it nn outrage to oxr-
pond money for grading .streets in suburban
additions when it would bo of so much more
benefit to have this street right in the busi
ness center brought to grade. The idea of
this kind of business may bo good in theory ,
out as u business principle it will not
stand.
"The question of funds could hardly have
been ttio point nt Issue , as It is well known
that the county estimate of j7. > , ( )00 ) will bo
available by July , and wo have every assur
ance that upon that date the commissioners
will turn ever to the city a warrant for
85 per cent of the city's share , which
would be $ J."i,500 , and with that understand
ing thcro would have been no diflluulty in
finding plenty of contractors who would
have been willing to have taken the work.
"It must certainly prove a great disap
pointment to the people of the city. TJio
grading of this street meant labor for an
army of men , all of whom would have spent
their money in the city.
"On general principles I consider it a great
calamity. Aside from this , it moans n great
deal to us. Wo had made all arrangements
to commence work upon our now tola-
phone exchange building as soon as
ilio grade was established. Wo expected
to grade down our lot and below this
grade out proparatoy to laying tlio subways
for our cables. Now wo are prevented from
doing anything , as wo do not know what the
grade will be , and not knowing , can take no
steps toward putting in our building.
"Had the ordinance passed wo should have
commenced work lit once , ns would Mr.
Snunders , who
ccntcmplatos putting up a
largo business block just cast of our property.
"As things now are , It is impossible to say
when wo shall go on with our improvements. "
Commissioner Berlin in commenting upon
the action of the council said , "I inline the
members of the council acted with
undue haste. The ordinance could have
been passed and matters would have been in
much better shape than now.
"I am most decidedly in favor of grading
the street and think that July 1 tlio county
commissioners would have turned over to the
city the i-Ity'.s share of the road fund. Or in
other words , the city would have boon given
n warrant for 85 per cent of its share of the
$75,000. Tliis would have insured the grad
ing of the street , as any contractor would
have been willing to have taken the contract
and gene on with the work with this under
standing. "
