The democracy of Iowa has concluded !
for the first time In its history to hold
nn early convention and to proee.de the
repubHrnni with its nominations. It
ban decided upon Juno 2-1 ns the date.
The independent will nominate their
ticket before the democrats meet. This
moans that the democrats of the state
propose to innko nn aggresnlvo campaign -
paign and that they aim to take ndvun-
tagn of the diversion of the nllianco men
from republican ranks. Governor IUic3
will probably bo ronominatcd without
opposition , and tlio party platform will
not vary greatly from that of former
years except to make a strong bid for
farmer votes. It is safe to conclude ,
however , that places will bo kept open
on the domocrntiu ticket for such trades
as the alliance can bo Induced to accept.
The republicans of Iowa are not split
by factions at prosont. They reali/.o the
danger which menaces thorn through
the disaffection among farmers. They
also know that the democrats will endeavor -
deavor to entra ] ) the nllianco republicans -
ans and divide the voles between the
three parties so as to give the democrats
control of the principal ollices. The republicans -
publicans will have the advantage of en-
It-ring the Held after the other tickets
nro riindo up , and with good nominations
and n c-lean-cut platform in accord with
the good sense of Iowa voters generally ,
should and will bo able to hold the state
to its allcgmnco to the republican party.
Tlio farmers of Iowa have no just
grievance against the republican ; * . The
party in that state has not been dominated -
ated by railroad intlucnccs , nor has it
boon neglectful of the interests of pro
ducers. The alliance movement over
there is largely made up of disgruntled
republicans ) , ex-greenbackors , walking
delegates of one so called reform or an
other. The yeomen of the state will
have ample time to uncover the ambush
into which those allies of democracy
sock to lead the party which has made
Iowa great and wealthy and which has
never failed in its duty to the people.
The last legislature of South Dakota
wns not a hrillinnt t-uccess , but onu of its
acts promises to keep it in grateful ro-
nicnibrnnuo. Authority wns granted
townships throughout the state to Dond
themselves for the ptirposo of boring
artesian wolK The whole region from
Ynnkton to Chniiihorliiin seem ? to bo in-
ulndud in the artesian bolt. Wherever
wells have boon sunk a good How of
water under pro.isur ? is obtained at
depths varying from 800 to 2,500 feet.
The well at Yanklon hns a pressure
of 70 pounds and the now ono at
Huron nearly or quite two hundred
pounds. The latter throws a stream
through a two and one-half inch nozzle
to a height of 170 foot.
The more or less rainless farm Innd of
South Dakota is iiuulo productive by
moans of those wells and the problem of
cultivation simplified. An example is
cited of two fields on the same section
lust year. Ono watered from an artesian
well' yielded 20 bushels ot wheat to
the aero and the other , dependent upon
the season's rainfall , but live bushols.
The law passed by the legislature hns
already stimulated the farming com
munities to avail themselves of this
natural resource and before the working
season is ptifa.sed there will bo scores of
flowing wells giving vigor to the vege
tation and making the farmers inde
pendent.
Those same wells are used nl&o for
mills and factories. The big well at
Huron has power enough to run a ono
hundred and fifty barrel flouring mill ,
and water enough , if the flow continues
at the rale of 10,000 gallons per minute ,
as at present , to furnish every mini ,
woman and child in the state four gallons
lens of water every 21 hours.
The water is at present wasting itself in
the .lim Klvor , but sooner or later it will
bo utilized for power nnd irrigation.
There can bo no question about it. South
Dakota has seized a prosperous future
with a grip which will never lot it
escape. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
MIA /SB / t'llOM nJH ilXKMY.
The Now York Sun , in an article warn
ing the democracy against overconfidence
dence and the mistake of under-rating the
strength of their opponents , says of the
present administration that it has been
on the whole safe and conservative. ' 'It
hns boon free from scandals , and in the
case of the department of state and the
navy department it has performed use
ful and oven brilliant service. " The
.S'loi does not regard the abilities of
President Harrison ns of tlio first order ,
"but they are moro than respectable , "
and the fact is recognized thnt the
country , which wns at first in
clined to rate him too low ,
Is now Inclined to admit that ho is a
shrewd and practical politician. It
acknowledges that the president is "the
master of his administration , " that his
administration "has been moro than an
average performance , " and that the re
publicans will not have to make many
apologies for him.
This praise , from a source which
would bo very glad to condemn if there
wns the least chnnco for condemnation ,
is the strongest possible testimony
to the success of the present nd-
mintstratlon and to the excel
lent impression that President Harrison
risen hns made upon the minds of
all intelligent , discriminating and can
did people. It is undoubtedly true , as
the .Sim says , that at llrst the country
was inclined to make too low an estimate
of iho ability of the president. It had
forgotten that ho undo an excellent
tvrord in the United States sonnto , and
ho was regarded rather as a shrewd
politician than IIB a statesman. Nothing
very notable was expected of his admin
istration. Public sentiment has under
gone a very great chnngo , nnd all fair-
minded men concede that President
HnrrtMin is fully entitled to he regarded
as a statesman of exceptional ability.
As ho said a few days ago ,
ho hns endeavored to make his adminis
tration distinctively a business mlminln-
t rat Ion , and it cannot bo questioned that
ho lias succeeded In doing so. There
has not been in our hit-lory an adminis
tration that accomplished to much of a
prnctlcal nature in its first two years ,
and there Is every reason to expect that
what has been done will hoof permanent
benefit to to the country. Politics has
received comparatively little attention
from this administration , whoso con
stant aim hns boon to promote measures
which would advance the material
'welfare of the whole nation. Tlio
promise is that this Is the purpose to
which the principal work of the adminis
tration will still bo devoted , nnd if the
remaining years of the term bring re
sults as important as those thus far
achieved , the administration will have
made a record of usefulness entitling it
to n very high place in history.
The republican party has no apologies
to make for President Harrison and Is
not likely to bo called upon to make
any. Ho has most amply justified
its confidence , nnd every day
ho is gaining strength with the
party and for the party. The
country has learned to regard him as in
every respect worthy of his exalted
ofllco , and there Is a universal feeling
that while ho remains in it the interests
and welfare of the whole country will bo
wisely and faithfully subserved. The
S'ldi Is right in saying that in the next
campaign the republicans will light
with their usual energy and abundance
of resource , and the record of the admin
istration , wise , clean nnd practical , will
bo a source of strength to the party in
every bcctlon of the country.
irK AGAIX.Y ACTION.
Tlio election of Prince Bismarck to
the rolchstag is really a mutter of world
wide interest , which is in no wise de
tracted from by the fact that ho found it
necessary to go to the people twice and
then ran a good deal behind the vote of
his national liberal predecessor. It is
very well understood that Hlsmnrck had
powerful forces to combat. Uesldcs his
natural fees , the socialists , who are very
strong in the district where ho ran , ho
had the potent influence of the govern
ment against him. This opposition was
not openly manifested , but it is not
to bo doubted that a great deal was in
sidiously done by the government
against the p.\-chancellor , and with
what efl'ect his reduced vote in compar
ison with that of his predecessor boars
testimony. It was fully understood that
the imperial wish was that Bismarck
should bo defeated , nnd the measure of
its influence in tlio district would seem
to bo 2,000 votes.
The dispatches from Berlin indicate
some anxiety in government circles
regarding the reappearance of Bis-
imircic in public life , and in a posi
tion where ho can bo extremely trouble
some to the imperial rule should ho bo
disposed to bo. The first effect upon
the government of his election is seen in
the efforts to so conciliate the various
parties as to unite them in the govern
ment's interests. This is a kind of busi
ness which calls for a very comprehen
sive order of statesmanship , and it maybe
bo doubted whether the emperor himself
or his present advisors are quite equal
to tlio task. When the widely differing
demands of the various parties are
considered , the granting of some
of which would not bo com
patible with the concession ol
others. The dillicultios in tlio way of
successfully carrying out a general pol
icy of conciliation are obviously very
great , and the opportunities for mis
takes proportionately numerous. Chan
cellor Caprivi seems to have started in
woll. It remains to bo seen how he will
come out.
Meanwhile not only all Germany , but
pretty much all of continental Europe ,
will watch with profound interest the
reappearance of Bismarck in nn nronn
his relations to which will bo entirely
different from what they were
heretofore. What will the great
statesman and politician do ii
his now character as a popular represen
tative ? Ho is reported as having sail
that ho would never attack any policy
directly initiated by the emperor , or
say anything to give his opponents r
reason for charging him with attacking
the emperor from personal motive.1' ,
This would scorn to put him inn positioi
whore ho would not bo dangerous to the
government as an opponent of its poll
cies , but it Is possible for him to , '
\
observe his promise nnd still
expose and criticise demands of
tlio government which have not the
stamp of imperial origin , and ho wilt
still be free to point out the faults of
omission as well ns commission. If cor
rectly reported , Bismarck believes that
the greatest danger to Germany is from
within rather than from without. The
country has not the same unquestioning
confidence in its rulers that it formerly
had , and the evidence the young em
peror has given of his liability to vaga
ries of a moro or less startling nature
has caused n very general fooling of un
rest and uncertainty regardintr the
future. Whether Bismarck in the
roichstiig will bo able to do anything to
allay nnd reduce this feeling Is alto
gether problematical , but it is certain
that his every action nnd utterance in
that boay Will bo regarded with the
keenest interest throughout Europe.
TIIK National Educational association
of the United States will hold Its con
vention this year at Toronto , Canada ,
thus giving an international character
to the mooting , which is expected to bo
unprecodcntedly Interesting and suc
cessful. American teachers who will at
tend the convention are promised a most
enjoyable sojourn in the ilno Canadian
city , preparations being already afoot to
give them most cordial welcome and hos
pitable ontortninmeiit. There are few
moro delightful places to visit than
Toronto in summer , and as transporta
tion rates will bo made very favorable
for those attending the convention , it
will atlord an exceptionally gocxl oppor
tunity to teachers for enjoying their
summer holiday ,
To MUSIC lovers an interesting sug
gestion In connection with the Colum
bian exposition is to hold a grand music
festival in which every state shall bo
represented. The Idea in to form n
national choral union , embracing the
l > est singers of every state , to include not
less than 5,000 voices nnd not to exceed
10,000. Each state would bo expected to
establish an organized chorus , trained
by Its own director , its si/.o to bo proportioned
tioned to the population of the
htato. These would be united
under one head into the grand
national chorus which would take
part at the exposition in n festival of
eng that might be continued fora week ,
or even longer- . , The plan cor templates
in early organisation of state choruses ,
o that they fjM hl have ample time for
n-oparatloti , utul the ultimate object Is
ho rroatlotf < > f < a permanent national
horus , which ! bj periodic festivals of n
similar chnractcr would arouse an Inter
est in music of the host kind throughout
the country and furnish an education In
he art that would bo of Incalculable
benefit. The plan is not necessarily 1m-
) 'aelicablo , though obviously a grout
leal of difficulty would bo encountered
n carrying it out. It is said to have re
ceived the cordial endorsement of Thoo-
lore Thomas , which is perhaps sutllclont
.0 . remove any doubt as to whether so
argo n chorus could bo handled effect-
vely. The opportunity to exhibit the
musical talent of our people which the
world's fair will give certainly ought to
je improved.
Tnu farmers of Now England are find
ing moro dllliculty than usual this year
in securing farm labor , and as n consequence
quence tholr spring work is a good deal
less advanced than it ought to be. They
ire offering $2" ) a month and board ,
equivalent to perhaps $10 n month with
out board , winch is hotter compensation
than thousands of men are getting In
the cities , yet with thousands of Idle
people In the cities the induce
ment is not sufficient to tempt
enough of them into the country
to supply the demand for farm labor.
There is doubtless moro than ono reason
for this , but perhaps the chief one is the
disinclination of men to exchange the
excitement and variety of city life for
the quiet and monotony of country ex
istence. They will suffer privation ,
working long hours for . barely pay
enough to subsist on in n city , rather
than to endure rural loneliness with
whatever reward of physical comfort
and opportunity to accumulate money.
It Is a mistake , but it is one that it is
useless to preach against.
TIIK now organization of real estate
owners is now fairly ready for business.
It only needs the co-operation of indi
viduals to make it a success. At the
meeting tonight the outline ot the pur
poses of the association , as shown by its
articles of incorporation , will bo pre
sented for the final consideration of the
people generally. There should be n
largo attendance and an enthusiastic ap
proval of the excellent work performed
by the committee on organization. Prop
erty owners , small and great , are invited
to become members and help push the
good cause along.
BY what authority can n suspended
city olllcinl collect fees or pretend to
transact any city business ; ' What right
hns Garbagomastor Morrlssoy , whoso
confirmation is hold up by the council ,
to levy upon the owners of garbage
teams nnd collect foes in advance for
permits1 ; This is n piece of piracy
which the council should promptly in
vestigate nnd squelch. Suppose nny
other officer whoso npnointment hns
boon hold up shqa'ld do such work , would
ho not bo guilty of a criminal misdemeanor
meaner ?
CITIZENS of nil parties nnd shades of
political opinion warmly commend the
action of tlio ntno councllmen who voted
to reconsider and hold up the con
firmation of the Into garbage master.
It shows that the council is not entirely
heedless of public opinion , and is willing
to glvo our citizens some protection
against the garbage gathering ringstors.
ASSKSSMKNTS of personalty in Omnhn

The movement to unite the west nnd the

Tile Most Severe Critics.
Aril' Yitrii Xnr * .
Some one has said that , generally , experi
ence makes the critic. The statement is un
doubtedly correct , hut it is auib iguous in
that It does not specify as to the kind of ex
perience which brings about the result. The
man who has no idea ns to thu details of news
getting and publishing Is generally the most
severe critic of the newspaper and the chap
who never outers u church , except on the occasion
s'I
casion of a fuiior.il or wedding , is usually
tpilto prompt to criticise the preacher. A
'III
man may have the history and the theory of
IIII
music at his tongue's end and possibly ho has
IIil
heard all of the great works by tlio moit
ainous artists , nnd yet his car may bo so de
fective as to sound that all the learning and
experience is useless in bringing him to a
true artificial appreciation of music.

Men are not constituted with tender , flut
tering hearts as women aro. They are
sturdier philosophers , too , and comfort them
selves In the disappointments of love by the
brutal maxim that there are as flue fish iu the
sea ns over were caught. These diametrical
ly opposite conditions suggest that men
ought not to bo permitted to decide questions
where n woman's heart nnd n woman's love
bo composed of women and not of men. Man
is unlitteU for weighing iu the nice balance
of equity a woman's affections on one side
and n bag of gold on the other. The womanly
sense of Justice nud her keen uppiecialion of
the sufferings of the disappointed of her sex ,
are Just the qualities Jurors in breach of
promise cases demand , nnd they make a com
bination that cannot ho found In all creation
outside of the ranks of the gentler sex.
On the whole , we beliovu that a woman's
Jury system for this class of cases would re
sult in equal Justice to all around.

FUTURE OF OUR SHIPPING ,
Talk of a Man Who is au Enthusiast on
the Subject ,
WE CAN COMPETE WITH ANY NATION.
lleivtol'oro KnglaiHl Man Knoyed | Su
perior KacllliloM In
AVliy AVc Arc
Congress t\tv Alii.
Nr.w Yoiirc , May n. Mr. W. II. T. Hughes
of the Ward line of steamers to Havana nud
Mexico Is not only exceptionally well in-
ormeit respecting the shipping trarto , to
which ho has devoted his life , but ho is an
enthusiastic believer In the future of Ameri
can shipping. No amount of trouble deters
ilm from working for the coni'ng rovlvul of
our ocean commerce , and whether ho is called
.luon to donate nddresses upon the subject or
lo spend n winter In Washington urging
proper legislation , ho nobly undertakes what
ever task seems likely to benefit the cause.
In n long talk upon the subject ho
says : "After the war the llrst dim-
ctilty that the American ship owners encoun
tered was the successful Introduction of Iron
n place of wood as ship building material ,
England being at the tlmo better fitted to
produce iron ships than wo wore. Thanks to
Lho efforts and pluck of a few notable men
wo have developed llttlo by llttlo our capa
bilities as builders of Iron ships until today
wo can build us line ships as any nation In
the world ami iu the matter of durability nnd
llnlsh perhaps bettor ones. It may be asked ,
then , why wo are asking congress to help us.
Decauso the American capitalist loU interest
in shipping and was lured tiwny to investing
in railroads by'.ho popular cry , 'We cannot
compote with the British anil other mari
time nations on the .seas. ' . 1 toll you that \vo
can compote with them. Start us up and
foster us as they were fostered and we will
not only compote with them , but will wipe
them out. "
Mr. Hughes explained that Kiiglmid
created her iron steamship lines by paying
the most liberal kind of .subsidies. SLe said
to a corporation , "Wo want a line of steamers
to , such and &uch ports , of such and such n
speed. Now how much do you require to
help you carry out this enterprise ; " And i > ho
paid what was required. When they had de
veloped that trade to those ports she gradu
ally reduced the subsidy until , perhaps , she
took it away entirely. Then she .sUirtcd new
lilies and developed business with .somo other
country. The result wns that she became
the gif.i man u fact u ring . unit exporting
country that she Is , am' , so to spoaU , gobbled
the trade of the world.
"IJut , " continued Mr. Hughes , "wo have
done nothing to dovolopour merchant manno
iu the foreign trndo .sine.1 the rebellion. We
have the finest fleet of coasters iu the world.
Why ! liecuuso they have been protected.
Wo'aro the largest manufuetiiring nation on
the earth. Why I Hecauso our manufac
turers t have been protected. They have had
valuable rights of wa3" given to them nnd
hud land grants. The government has en
dorsed their bonds. They have been fostered
and nursed up , until today they are capable
of taking care of themselves. A few years
ago wo hud no navy. Wo nro now building
up a navy which , according to the testimony
of Mr. Byles. ono of the greatest expert ma
riners the land over had , is destined to bo ono
of the finest in the world. There is no diffi
culty in getting any reasouablo sums voted
bv congress for the increase of the navy.
What caused this change iu popular senti
ment ! The education of the people to the
necessity of the navy. "
Mr. Hughes has been making some calcu
lations upon the direct advantage to the people
ple in American ports. lie says of his own line ,
which ho modestly declares to bo the finest
licet of Yankee ships afloat , that they cause
the cxnendituro yearly In the city of Now
York for crews , wages , pilotages , stevedores ,
supplies , repairs , coal , etc. , not counting comll
missions of any kind , or extraordinary ro-
pairs , but purely and simply moneys expended
for what the ships , so to speak , consume ,
over ifl.IiCO.OOO. "Our actual pay rolls for
crows , wages and labor employed on shore Is
about ? T.5)00. ( ) ( ) You will say that foreign
ships also spend money when they como to our
ports , . They do. but they spend as little as
possible in the foreign port and as much ns
possible iu the home port. They never dock '
their ships over horo. Their crows do not
got their wages over here , they buy ns little
at possible over hero or only such articles ns
they can buy cheaper than at home. And If
w'J had our ships wo would spend as llttlo
abroad as possible and as much ut home.

ing for his view on the sub-treasury plan.
Governor .1. M. Stnne , who has been frequently -
quontly and favorably nu'iitioned IH u suc
cessor to ox-Senator Wultlmll , has submitted
a letter , the following being nn extract there
from : "Tho piopcr functhm of HID goiorn-
luont , ns 1 understand it , is to protect all D
the full enjoyment of their rights by adin.n-
istoiing equal nnd exact Justice to nil and l.n-
posing as few burdens us possible , eqnnllv
distributed , nnd thou leavinc every Indi
vidual to his own efforls for success
nn < l happiness. The government has no
wealth to boitow and when It undertuke.s to
dispense favors it always has favorites and
gives to thorn all the expense of those not
favored. It must bo so from the vorv niitimi
of things , for It has to talco from some to givn
to others. Wo of the south , chielly agleul -
tural , have felt this evil with crushing force ,
for the high protcctivo system of the ropublN
can party for the benefit of the manufactur
ing interests , mainly of the north , has opor
atcd in a twofold manner to injure us by de
pressing the price of our cotton and greatly
increasing the cost of the many articles wa
nro compelled to buy with the proceeds. Tun
cause of our depression is ttio protective sys
tem maintained for protection those ciior *
mous burdens of government which fall
heavily upon ui while wo get little to compensate
pensato us for the urlovous impositions , Sc
far us the sub-treasury is intended to sup
ply 1 un lucrc.iso of money it promises nothing
good j to limners , who , above all others , will
bo the victims of any inflation which wil' '
disturb values. They need for their wolfm ?
a currency ns steady and stublo as them
selves. The traders and speculators the c
looking out for deals and corners can not
amid the excitement of speculative rnlur
nnd lluctualions Ironi disturbance of the cir
culating medium. The fanner and laborer
stand tort of oven chances in that condition
of things. The promise of an opportunity to
obtain money at a loiv rate of interest by dc.
positinc 1 cotton ami getting an advance of S'j
per cent of Its value is , I think , u delusion
and u snare. "
