MAYOIS CrsiiiNo's address to tlio
president was pithy mill pointed. It Was
tlio quintoKMonco of brevity nnd yet ein-
boilled all that need have been said on
tlio occasion.
DKSPITK tlio adverse federal and state
legislation , the manufacture and con-
nuinptionof oleomargarine in the United
States is steadily incroaihi . The
monthly sales of government htamps re
quired to be used on all paclfiiges of
oleomargarine are now nearly double
tlio amount sold live years ago. Tlio
product lias also improved in quality.
IT WAS not all "taffy" that Secretary
Rusk uttered when bo said that Ne
braska is "tho sweetest state in the
union,1' for while the stnto has not quite
attained the right to that distinction it
is almost certain to roach it. There is
great encouragement in the statement
of the secretary of agriculture that ho
bad not found the sugar industry of Cali
fornia as promising as that of Nebraska.
TIIK expressions of President Harri
son , Postmaster General Wanamakor
and Secretary of Agriculture Rusk re
garding the enterprise and energy of
Omaha , wore very kind , and in the light
of what has been accomplished during
the past 10 years , entirely just. They
should bo an incentive to still greater
effort to advance this city , whoso possi
bilities seem to bo bettor understood and
appreciated by strangers than by many
of its own citizens. Omaha is already
great , but she can bo made infinitely
greater. _
TIIK Indian commission to settle cer
tain boundaries and other matters at the
reservations has been asked by the see-
rotary of the interior to enter upon its
work about the 18th of the current
month , or nearly two weeks earlier than
had been intended. This is duo to the re
port that the Sioux are uneasy at the
delay in settling matters in which they
are interested , and the department is
properly anxious not to glvo them any
reasonable cause for grumbling. The
task before the commission is important
and is likely to prove dilllcult.
TIIK chase after the Itutii is being dis
cussed by some newspapers as if it in
volved a serious international question.
There is nothing of the kind in it. The
Chilian government has not boon deposed -
posed and is recognized by the United
States government , Tlio Insurgents
have no recognition anywhere. The
Itata , a vessel in the service of the rev
olutionists , violated the laws of neutral
ity in entering one of our ports to ob
tain arms and ammunition , and after
having boon taken possession of by
an olllcor of the United States
inado her escape. Our right to
Bol/o hop in onu of our own ports re
mains good anywhere on the high seas
nnd ita legality cannot bo questioned.
Tlio government could not do leas than
it is doing in this matter and conform tea
a principle it has itself enunciated , and
which is rei'ogni/ud by all nations.
TIIKUK was almost as much popular
curiosity to see Postmaster ( ionoral
Wanamakor as there was to see the
president. No man over in the public
service grow so rapidly in the popular
conlldenco and respect as the present
postmaster general. This is duo to the
practical demonstration of his superior
business qualifications foV the position.
Ho found the postal service badly de
moralized , and within a year ho hail
brought it to a higher standard
of ofllclonoy than over before ,
and it unquestionably is today ,
all things considered , the best
Borvlco in the world. The business o
the postolllco department comes nearer
to thn people than that of any other
branch of the government , and hence
the popular appreciation of Mr. Wana
maker as a public servant. The post
master general has another claim to
popular regard in his earnest and zeal
oua advocacy of postal telegraphy
Mr. Wanamakor Is undeniably one o
the strongest men with the people In
the present administration.
Tin ;
Omaha never before had a celebration
o complete and liarmnnlous In all re *
spools as President Harrison'a reception.
L'ho local population manifested un-
vontcil interest and enthusiasm , nnd re-
nforced by thousands of visitors , filled
every thoroughfare through which
[ 'resident Harrison pas.scd and massed
n great throngs at the points of rooop-
.ion. Unquestionably there was never
eforo called out by any public
event in this city so great a
crowd of people , or ono more orderly ,
mlicnt and good naturcd. The prosl-
lent was enthusiastically received along
ho line of the procession , his excellent
iddress was listened to with respectful
ittcntlon and its telling points heartily
iheored. Several thousand people
Lvallcd themselves of the opportunity to
hnko hands with him and many more
vould have done so bad it boon possible.
ho school children wore well behaved
and manifested an intelligent apprecia-
ion of the occasion , and throughout the
entire celebration there was not u single
unhappy or unfortunate incident.
Omaha is to bo congratulated upon
ho really brilliant success of the recep-
Jon of President Harrison. It was a
lotable and will bo a memorable illus-
ration of tlio patriotism and public
spirit of her people. It demonstrated
igain that no community anywhere can
jring moro /.esil and earnestness to the
lerformanco of a public duty. No fea-
uro of the occasion was more Interest-
ng , and perhaps none more iinpi'nssU'o
o the president than the part taken by
.ho public schools , and the school au
thorities and teachers merit cordial
'ominutulntion. '
President Harrison has completed
ibout eight thousand miles of his trip ,
ind although under an almost constant
strain of spooch-makln < r and hand-shak-
ng , the latter miti-h tlio moro wearing ,
thcrj is no indication that the extended
journey and its arduous demands
iinvo in the least impaired his
nuntal or physical energies. His
Omaha address is one of tlio most
idmirablo ho has delivered , and ho bore
tp well under the ordeal of a personal
rroeting from not less than 5,000 people.
With his departure from this city Pres
cient Harrison may bo said to have
ended the instructive portion of his trip.
What ho will see on the remalng portion
of liis journey to the national capital ho
s already largely familiar with from
personal observation. That the trip lias
jeen greatly prolltable to General Harrison
risen in the larger knowledge ho has
obtained of the enterprise , the pro
gressive spirit , the loyally and iho
[ Patriotism of the people , there is the as
surance of his own statements , and it is
well that the people of nearly half the
inion have had an opportunity to show
in what profound honor they hold the
great olllco of chief magistrate of the re
public. Thus there Inn been material
benefit to the people and executive in
the presidential journey. Each is
stronger in the confidence of the other ,
and both have realized a quickening
and an elevation of patriotic feeling.
TllKY AltK nilMGCHATS F1HST.
The evidence'is cumulative that the
alliance people in the bouth do not in
tend to desert the democratic party.
Whenever and wherever that party
needs them they will bo with it. It was
stated recently by a democratic leader
In Mississippi that the alliance men in
that state would not permit their de
mocracy to bo called In question and
that they could be depended upon not
to stand in the way of any domocratio
candidate. He was confident that to a
man they would vote with the democ
racy in the next national campaign ,
and ho seconded the idea that
any third party would draw
them from their allegiance. Sim
ilar statements have boon made by other
southern democrats , sill with u tone of
conlldonco which loft no room for doubt
that they know what they wore talking
about.
Hut bettor authority than those are
Homo of the alliance loaders themselves.
An Atlanla paper recently interviewed
several of these , with results that give
tlio most positive confirmation to the as
sertions of the democratic loaders. Gov
ernor Tillman of South Carolina said ,
expressing the belief that ho spoke for
the great body of tlio farmers in the state :
I am n democrat , pure and simple , I
bollovo in lighting for reforms inside
the party lines but never outside of
them , and I believe any attempt to or
ganize a third party in this state or in
the south would bo an absolute failure. "
Ho declared that lie was opposed to the
Cincinnati third party scheme and all
similar schemes. Another of the inter
viewed was Colonel Talbort , an alliance
lecturer , who declared himself now as
always a democrat and opposed to a
third party. Tlio manager of the South
Carolina state alliance exchange , who
was a candidate for United States sen
ator and came near being elected instead
of Irby , said the alliance in that state
had no need of resorting lo a third party
and that there was no symptom of a.
third p\rty : sentiment among its mem
bers. No influential paper in the south
devoted to the interests of the alliance
advocates a third party for that Hcction.
They nil propose to light for what they
want within the ranks of the democratic
party.
Uut the southern alliance is sparing
no effort to convince northern farmers
that their only hope of securing what
they dcislro is in a third party. Its emis
saries , all hide-bound democrats , are
in the agricultural states of the
north actively laboring to create
a sentiment among members of the
alliance in favor of a third party , knowing -
ing that if the Cincinnati scheme can bo
carried through and any considerable
body of thn alliance mombora in'tho
north , the very large majority of whom
are republicans , can bo drawn to its sup
port , the chances of electing the next
democratic candidate for the presi
dency , with the solid Bouth secure , will
bo vastly Improved and perhaps Unit re
sult bo assured. These southern alliance
democrats who are urging the farmers
of the north and west to desert the
party to which they have given
n lifetime allegiance nnd sot up
another , know that a third pnrtj
candidate would not carry a township -
ship in any southern state , that ho
would nowhere draw votes to any ox-
lent from the democracy , nnd that the
liarm ho would do would bo wholly to
the republican party. They want a
third party for the republican north ,
jut will have ngno of it in the demo
cratic south.
It would bo a disparagement of the In
telligence of the alliance republicans of
the north to bollovo that they will allow
themselves to bo drawn into the support
of the scheme. They cannot fall
to see through its transpar
ent designs , nnd seeing , they will
not fail to repudiate It. They sincerely
bollovo that certain financial and eco
nomic reforms are necessary , but they
perfectly understand that those are not
.o ' bo scoured through democratic suc
cess , with the democracy of the solid
south dictating the conditions. Such a
result could bring about only reaction ,
lot reform.
SKCUKTAKY Ht'sic has a plain , blunt
way of stating things. Referring to the
exclusion of American pork by Germany
and I'Ynnco , ho said ho felt "nearly
sure" Unit when our hog products are
inspected as proposed by the now law
they will be admitted into tho.so coun
tries. "And I will say , " remarked the
secretary , "if they will nol then receive
our pork wo will ston their sugar tralllc. "
As a cabinet olllcor Secretary Husk
nust bo presumed to know the
titontions of tlio administration
with regard to any mutter upon
which a decision has been reached , so
that his declaration has an anthorita-
ivc , if not exactly an ollicial character.
I'hero lias boon some doubt as to wheth
er the president would exorcise tlio re-
lalialory authority given him by con-
jross in the event of Germany or Franco ,
or either of them , refusing to remove
-ho prohibition upon the importation ot
the hog products of thin country , but the
ileclaration of Secretary Husk would
seem to remove all ground of doubt nt
least as to the present purpose of the ad
ministration.
Tim prohibition falsilior is still at
large. Ho was last hoard from in Chicago
cage , in the person of ono Mills , who
declared that crime , drunkenness and
general wickedness are moro common in
Omaha llian in any other American city.
There was a defender of Omalui at
band , and it need not bo said he had the
facts on his side. The truth is , as every
well-informed person knows , there is not
i city in Uie world of equal population
with Omaha whore the annual record of
crime IH smaller than in this city , while
as to drunkenness there are towns in
Maine , Kansas and Iowa of half the size
ofOm ilia wluro into in porn nee is more
prevalent than here. As an example of
the wholesome moral effects of high
license Omaha challenges Uie most
thorough investigation ami invites a
u-omparison of results with cities in pro
hibition stales.
TIIK I3KK has never been given to
self-laudation , but it will hardly bo con
sidered amiss for it to say that TIIK BKK
building is the first great newspaper
structure in which a president of the
United States has ever been given a
public reception and it is the only news
paper ollico building in America at this
time capacious enough to accommodate
a presidential reception party in be
fitting stvlo.
AT last the question of whether or
not death by electricity is an inhuman
manner of executing a criminal has been
decided by the supreme court of the
United States , and Now York murderers
may conclude that their lease of life
will-not bo lengthened by protest.
WHKN the people of Omaha have any
thing to do which fully enlists their in
terest , they do it with a zeal and en
thusiasm unsurpassed by any community
in the land.
THAT Omaha is a growing city goes
without saying. Six acres of children
on the high school grounds afforded vis
ible and striking proof of that fact.

The president stood during the address
with his hat slightly raised with the right

i light overcoat hanging on the arm. Mayor
Weir then stopped forward nnd read his ad

President Harrison rnado na unexpectedly
brief rospones as follows :
It will , I think , bo ontlrely Impossible for
me to make myself heard by this vast assem
blage , situated as you are hero this morning.
Our stay with yon ls > necessarily brief , and

I have been HO pressed with the engagements
which have boon suggested to us that 1 have
only been able to glvo throo-iiuariors of an
hour to Indianapolis , my own home. I have
given you the same , and I hail hoped , very
much so. that this tlmo would bo extended
and that I would bo able to address you with
more comfort to myself and to yon.
We are hero as American citizens for com
mon hope and love.Vo are hero thu friends

and makes It better than any other nation
In the world. 1 thank you most cor

Immediately at thocloso of nis remarks the
president turned to tcavo the stand. Ho was
intercepted by three little girls , Hosslo Dan-
bach , Julia Menlovo and 13esslo ICelley ,
dressed It1 gowns of red , wtiito nnd blue , who
presented him with n boijuot and basket of
I lowers ami a handsomely Illuminated address -

The allotted hour had expired and tbo
presidential party miulo u hurried return 10
the train. They were driven down J , Kiev-
onth and I1 streets jo the depot , passing
through throngs who greeted the party with
enthusiast lo demonstrations ,
The president's stay was too brief for mi
elaborate programme. The festival chorus
of the Lincoln oration society , -00 voices
strong , gathered nt the stale liouso to greet
the president with suitable music , but there
was no tlmo for it.
VVhllo the addresses were being made

inarlc "You can Introduce moro people In

There was no llmo for any inind-shaldng
with the president , but ono persistent lady
wormed her way through the crowd , grasped

Is'ew York Mail and Kxpross : It Is to bo
regretted that ono of our best cruisers was
not on hand to add to the Interest of the oc
casion.
Toledo Hlado : The dignity nnd newer of
the United Ktates must bo vindicated. The
Itata must bo retaken , or sent to the bottom
in the effort to do so ,
I'ittsburg Gazette : Tlio safe course Is lo
keep hands olT mid lot them tight it out. If
neither sldo should bo able to procure sup
plies the better It would bo for their unfor
tunate country.
Detroit Free Press : That was rather a
cool performance on thu part of the Itata. It
is easy to supply a now deputy marshal , but
there is the matter of the dignity of the gov
ernment nnd all that sort of thing.
Itartfor'd Courant : The Chilian "Insur
gents" have the sympathy of those of our
people who have had leisure and opportunity
to inform themselves about the rights and
wrongs of the row ; but with that they must ,

Philadelphia Lodger : In seizing tlio steam
ship Hata In the harbor of San Diego while
she was loading supplies for the insurgents
of Ulilll , the government authorities have
given a practical illustration of what KnglanU
should have done during the war of the re
bellion.
Milwaukee News : All the boats in the
United States navy that can bo spared from
watching the movements of Premier IJudini
should bo ordered to the Par-illc ocean to re
capture the Chilian steamer Itata. It is nol
often the American navy gets so busy as it
Is at present.
Now York Times : There Is no doubt that
the scizuro was jus tilled , nnd that in malting
it wo fullille.l our obligations to Chili.Vo
can hardly bo held responsible for the escape
under Iho circumstances , but wo have the
right to recapture the vessel if wo can , nnd
it would bo a matter of gojd policy , national
and international , to do .so.
Milwaukee Sentinel : 'i'ho Chilian insur
gents can hardly hope to gala anything per
manently by drawing upon themselves the
Just wrath of the governmo'jt of the United
States , and if reparation is not speejlily made
for so wanton an atTront it may oo calculated
that the Insurrection In Chill will come , to an
untimely end from outside pressure.
Pittsburg Dispatch : This is a simple
case of catching a Tartar. As a display of
recklessness it stands unique , though Igno
rance may be to blame. Probably the Chilian
captain thought the United Slates so busy
with Italy that n deputy marshal would not
bo missed. If ho did ho is mistaken. Our
deputy marshals are too precious to bo car
ried away by pirates.
New York Commercial Advertiser : The
act of the captain of the Itnta was foolish ,
foolhardy and Injurious to his own cause.
The presence on his vessel of a United
States deputy marshal only makes his case
thu worse for himself. The government of
ho United States has a right to retake that
prisoner and summarily to punish every ono
concerned In his imprisonment.

The plough boy whistled behind his plough ,
For his lungs were sound and ho had no

Ho gulden his team with a pliant bough ,
And watered it well at a wayside trough.
The toll was hard , for the land was rough-
It lay on the shores of on Irish longh
But his well-fed team was stout and tough ,
And ho piled the bough to Hank and hough ,
Ho toiled all day. and the crow and chough
Flew around his head , though he olt cried
"Sbough ! "
But hl plough at eve struck a hidden sough
With a torco that sent the Miaro clear

The frightened team ran olT with the plough ,
With tlio speed of the wind from the
ploughboy , though
Ho shouted "Whoa ! " And into n slough
It plunged , where the mud was as soft as
dough.
