Ploriila la roproaontod in the United States soirito by Pahcoand Call. She is unlike any other state in the union in both particulars. Nothing will surprise the country as to Florida in the future. Slio is wedded to her idols. There is but ono republican in her legislature. Her legislature had an alliance majority. The alliance man in Florida is nn erratic genius. ; ilo is also a democrat , in which particular ho is like till southern mem bers of his order. NKIIUASKA CITY is not falling behind the procession nny among the cities of this stale. Shu has about as many solid business men to the acre as any other uity of similar area in the state. Her citix.ons keen their eyes well open for Ojiportunllios and the factories , packing houses , distillery and other enterprises established there in the hist few yoal'.s are now steady springs of prosperity which keep the httlo city abreast of all competitors. A $100,000 sturch factory and a new wagon bridge across the Mis souri are her latest conquests. OHIO has put a woman Into her poll- ties. She appears to be built very much like Mrs. Lonsu of Kansas. Like the garrulous female jayhawker , she Is after a somUorial scalp. She aims higher than the alliance woman , however , for nhn wants to defeat Senator Sherman's ro-elootion. With this In view the demo crats who believe that everything Is fair in-politics are ulroulating u p\mphlot : entitled "Sovon Financial Conspiracies" among Onto farmers In which the grout Ohioan is hold responsible for all llnan- clnl adversities winch hiivo como upon the country in the hist JO years , TIIH SITUATION W lUH'.t. There is widespread interest In the political situation in lown , and from the opening to tlio close of the campaign In that state It is certain to divide with Ohio the attention of the politicians everywhere. The course of politics In the llawkoyo state for several years has boon so peculiar as to nmko the problem of the future decidedly puzzling , and es pecially so since the entrance of the people's party Introduced n now factor. In no ether state have the changes been inoro marked during the past 10 years , culminating In the election of a demo cratic governor in ISS'J after inoro than ti generation of uninterrupted republican Control. This , result was easily explained b > the defection of anti- prohibition republicans , but last year , while the republicans carried theirbtuto ticket , thn democratic plurality on the congressional vote was nearly three to one , for which the tarilV legislation of the last congress was responsible. The evidence , down to the latest vote , is that a majority of the voters of Iowa are in sympathy with the general prin ciples of the republican party , but that a very largo clement of thcso is opposed to prohibition nnd likely to vote with the democracy whenever Ibis is an issue. So far us the tariff is concerned the result in the congressional districts last fall cannot safely bo accepted as measuring the pros-out republican defection on that issue. There has boon quite generally a decided - cided modification of the hostile sonti- meiit manifested toward the tariff in the elections of last fall , and it is not to bo doubted it has reached Iowa. Ono month was too short a time in which to judge of tlio effects of the new tariff leg islation , but after eight months itjs soon that the law has not produced the evils that wore predicted of it , and the intelligent republican farmers of Iowa are quito as well aware of this as any body. It is not probable , therefore , that any considerable number of them will bo induced to vote against the republican parly by way of rebuking its tariff policy. But what elToct upon them will the "more money" appeal of the people's party have ? How many of them can bo induced to give their votes in support of the sub- treasury scht'inu:1 : This is tlio un known quantity which will give unusual interest to the Iowa cam paign and which renders tlio situation inoro than ordinarily puzzling. What ever vote the people's party polls will bo cast almost wholly by republicans , for there as clsowhcro the democratic farmers will almost to a man stay with the old party. This is well understood by the promoters of the now political movement , who for the most part are everywhere simply working in the interest of democratic success. It would seem that when the republican farmers of Iowa are made to see that they are to bo used as a tail to the dem ocratic kite very few of thorn will con sent to play that part. Manifestly they have nothing to gain by helping the democracy to power. The democrats intend to make a vig orous effort to carry the state , and they will not want for outside aid. They fully understand that if they shall demon strate that they have iiindo n porimmont breach in the solidly republican north west it will greatly strengthen the parly throughout the country for the national contest of next year. Honcothey will spare no eflort and hesitate at no moans to win. The republicans un doubtedly recognize the fact that they have a very dillicult task before tnem , but the situation is far from being dis couraging if they will adopt a straight forward course. They will make no mis take in endorsing the general principles of their party , while with regard to pro hibition the wise policy will bo to give heed to the popular verdict against it already rendered. It has been demon strated that a majority of the people of Iowa do not want prohibition , and the number who do not want it is undoubt edly larger this year than two years ago. This makes plain the true policy of the republicans. O.1U/M ; UYU rilK CUXVKNTIOff. The city which fails to assertitself lig- eressivcly in thcso days will find oppor tunities slipping by unimproved. The competition between enterprising com mercial centers was never bo sharp as at present. Chicago would not have secured - cured the world's fair if she had permitted - ted Now York to have passed upon her ability to make it a success. Chicago would not have entertained the conven tion of 1SOO in which Abraham Lincoln was nominated if her own croakers or commercial rivals had boon allowed to pass upon hoi * capacity to make delegates and visitors comfortable. The fact is Omaha and Council Bluffs have hotel accommodations enough , supplemented by the private apartments which would bo available , to properly provide for an enormous crowd. Washington city opened her dwellings to the trien nial conclave and -10,000 visitor. ! wore entertained. Denver once provided for the Knights most satisfactorily. Onriha is equal to the emergency which will bring for only a few days a crowd of 10,000 people. The Hold is Icloar and Omaha and Chicago are practically the only aspir ants for the honor of entertaining the republican national convention. San Francisco Is too far from the population centres. Omaha occupies exactly the right spot. Wo can give our great sister on the lakes the liveliest sort of a chase for the convention , Lot us do it. There are ether reasons for believing this is a good time to nwko the offort. The states of Kans , s , lown , Nebraska , Colorado and Minnesota have hitherto been solidly republic in. Both the Da- kolas wore also republican when ad mitted into the union. The alliance movement is strongest in these states. It threatens to take them out of the republican column. The moral effect of the convention hold In the very heart of the Indopundont stronghold can scarcely bo overesti mated. This argument for Omaha may never present iUulf again. Its logic Is simply Irresistible now. It is worth inoro than an assurance that wo can provide for the crowd In attendance. If it wore necessary ovor.v delegate to the convention would ohoorfully sloop in a tent If by so doing these several states could bo made unquestionably republi can. can.Tho Iowa republican state convention will bo held In Cedar Rapids July 1. A leading citizen of Omaha is booked for one of his great spoochoa on that occa sion. Omaha will bo unanimously en dorsed by the Iowa delegates and the first gun will bo llrod in our favor. Wo are In an exceptionally good position to realize our hopos. Four years ago ono vote would have secured for this city tlio endorsement of the commlttco. If wo could then hnvo entertained half the delegates wo can now properly provide for all nnd for .all their friends. It is too good an opportunity to bo neglected. Omaha must make ti light for the con vention aild now is the time to do the preliminary work. COMMlSSlONKIt IHHJTII AA'I ) HIS IWB. Commissioner Ballington Booth and his intellectual wife , the leaders of the Salvation army in this country , wore given an ovation In Omaha. The good people of this city whoso rollncd sense of the proprieties fail to associate in their own minds the big bass drum with sav ing grace , are entirely Willing to con cede to the Salvationists the credit of doing good. Their loader and his wife , who by the way is the stronger individ ual of the pair , are conceded to bo in earnest. Their peculiar methods of at tracting the elements of society which are beyond the roach of the ordinary moral inlluoticcs are not to bo commended in themselves , but judged by the work the army has accomplished bore and else where can bo tolerated oven in quiet communities. The commissioner is a trillo clownish and eccentric , but en thusiastic and faithful. His wife is not only enthusiastic and faithful , but ro- iinod and eloquent. Her husband at tracts attention by the peculiar and withal tiresome methods characteristic of his organization. His wife quietly but successfully engineers the motley elements composing her follow ers into something like order and delinitoness of religious purpose. While Mr. Booth is picking out of tlio slime the rough shells his wife is gently polishing theni. Both are doing a grand work among thu hlums and by their steadfast self-sacrillcing labors of years have established for the Salvation army a place in the communities of this country which is occupied and desired by no other religious organization but which has boon sadly needed for char ity's sake and the elevation of humanity. Barring the noisy street parades tlio Salvation army is now welcome in all cities. our _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Till- : Iowa prohibitionists demand in their platform the immediate abolition of the internal revenue system of the United States. From this source the government derives an annual revenue of tibout ono hundred and forty million dollars ; and if the excise should bo done away with , in what way would the pro hibitionists suggest for supplying the national treasury with the necessary revenue':1 : The only alternative would bo to got it from imports , and doubtless thcso Iowa people would stoutly object to an increase of customs duties. Of course the fact that disturbs thorn is that the government gets most of Its in ternal revenue from liquors , and in their fanaticism they would cripple , or oven stop the machinery of government , rather than require whisky to contri bute to its support TIIK Ohio republicans will today nomi nate Major McKinley for governor , and that fact certainly carries with it a sug gestion as to what the principal feature of the platform will bo. The fight in Ohio is to bo squarely on the tariff issue , and it promises to bo ono of the most vigorous and exciting in the history of that stato. The republicans appear to bo harmonious and enthusiastic , which is a promising sign of victory. The democrats are not in such good form , dissensions having arisen among them which will not bo easily quiotod. The indications are that the third party movement will not amount to much in the Bucknv'0 stato. No CAMPOUNJAN need apply , appears to bo the dictum of the world's fair man agement. After rejecting Walter S. Maxwell of Los Angeles because some body said ho was a dude , General Chip- man of Red Bluff was nominated and confirmed by the board of directors for commissioner of horticulture. The board of control which had favored Maxwell unanimously rejected Chipman , and the ollico is still vacant. The various bodies1' ' more or less connected with the big fair are working too much at cross purposes to bo thoroughly ollleiont. i'ous withdrew from the con test for the national convention not be cause she was really an Incompetent ap plicant but because some old fogies cap tured the public meeting called to promote - mete the idea , They wore not so much afraid of a lack of accommodations as of the $50,000 which they feared would bo necessary 10 the proper entertainment of the convention. Then , of course , others foresaw that Minneapolis had no chance with Omaha in the Held as her most active competitor. INKOIIMATION regarding the progress in draughting plans for the Omaha post- ollico building are by no means reassur ing. The supervising architect now states that nothing can bo ilonu toward making sketch plans until it is ascer tained exactly how much money is to go intolho building. The outlook is that nothing definite will bo undertaken until congress has had another chance to increase - crease the limit of cost of building and slto to $1,200,000. No wonder Mr. Mahoney smiled at the coroner's last verdict. Most of the juries agree to the verdict prepared by the coroner. The coroner is not a lawyer. Ho is a physician. This explains 'why he 'wants the Chinese doctor hold responsible - sponsiblo for the death of a man who committed suicide two months after being treated by the physician from Pokln.

Governor Thayer is now in Cheyenne look ing after the celebrated Kingoii case. The fellow ICingen is in the Wyoming peniten tiary serving out a term for horse stoallnir. Kingon's homo is in Nebraska , but ho slipped across the state line and stole a horse in Wy oming. Ills identity was learned and n posse of men from that state went to Kin gon's homo , found the stolen horjo and in stead of hanging him according to the usual code , delivered him to the sheriff of the county in Wyoming where tlio crime was committed. The proof of Kingen's guilt was overwhelming and ho was sentenced to the penitentiary. A lawyer in northwestern Nebraska , who is thirsting for notoriety toolc thu coso in hand and came to the state capital.
