The questions at issue will never bo settled by argument. EMPEUOU WILHAII attended divine service in St. Paul's cathedral , London , on Sunday. Was there anything sig nificant from an English standpoint in the fact that the sermon was delivered by Canon Wall ? U is out of pocket between $2,000 and $11,000 on the national saon- gorfost. This merely proves that the saongorfost made a misako in going so far oast. It should have boon hold in Omaha whore all conventions are sue- cessfuL AN idea of Custor county's enormous small grain crop can bo obtained from the statement that already about ono hundred self binders have boon sold at Broken Bow alone. Farmers who buy self binders have something to harvest and the prospect of a good deal to sell. Now that Colonel Forsytho has given up the light for chief of the horticul tural department because of the por- aistont light made upon him , California should bo told she is also out of the race. .Lot this place go to some state which will not make an exhibition of herself BO long In advance of the fair. GOVKUNOR CA5iPiinrL of Ohio will probably bo ronominated by the demo cratic convention which moots in Cleveland - land , O. , today. This is another way of announcing that William McKlnloy , jr. , will have a iricuto from this tlmis until Novombor. After January 1 it will bo ox-Governor Campbell and Governor McKinloy. NKHHASKANS munt not fall into the error of HOIUO eastern newspapers who Boom to think the warehouse law is an. experiment. There is no experiment about It. It is almost identical with the warehouse law of Illinois. It is the most important act passed by any Ne braska legislature. The legislators built wljor than they know when the law was enacted , as time will abund antly prove. BuowN' county Is all stirred up ever the revelations of an expert bookkeeper who has just Inspected the accounts of the clerk nnd commissioner * and found the former ofllcor $3,100 short , while the commissioners themselves have used all the way from $22 to 811 10 o.ich that bolonga to the county treasury. This is a good season of the year for investiga tions. They will clour up the atmos phere for the fall campaign and burst the booms of u good many aspirant * for public places. J. BAUTII Siioiui , the latest Califor nia candidate for chief of the horticul tural department ot the world's fair is a wine grower and ranchman in Loa An glos county , California , lie Is rich , fond of sport , and owns n winery , but nobody would think of placing him in the posi tion if it were not for those facts. The place ought to bo given to a younger man , ono who has the gonlus of Industry Instead of horse niolng , Shorb is moro at homo in the valley hunt at the head of his line kennel of grey hounds chasing the Jack rabbit from Pasadena to Pomona , than ho wpulil bo In Chicago directing the Important details of a do- tnrtmont lu the yrorld'n fair. TIIK Thd alliance people throughout the stnlo nro aparontly lee busylplannlng for the pnplttro of the county uourt nouses lo devote any tlmo to the subject of erecting storage el vitnr : * for the Im mense crops of Biiiall grain soon to bo In the alack. AB n consuijticnco a very largo proportion of thn aurplui * will bo thrown from the throshlnumachlnolnlo Iho market. The rush of grain to Chicago cage nml other centers from the ontlro west nnd northwest will naturally tilTei't the mnrkot ndvorsoly nntl our fnrmors will lese not loss than $3,000,000or / want of proper storage facilities. A lit- llo ontorprlsij on the part of Iho leaders of Iho farmers' ougani/ullon would erect opough public elevators lo carry the surplus grain for weeks and month ? and glvo the producers the benefit of the .winter market. Without those storage facillttoi the Chicago and'St. Louis olo- valor men will pocket the profit" } unless Omaha meets tlio situation howolf and takes a share of the proceeds. The fni't of a want of storage facilities in the Interior need not dolor capitalists from Investing in olovalors hero. On the contrary , the conditions above out lined should stimulate our pooplo'lo grealor oflorls. There is no reason In Iho world why the greater part of the surplus should not bo carrlod In Omaha if Iho storage Is provided. Unless all forecasts for the future are wrong , the grain men hero can make the money which olovalors will cost In this single Boason 'If they will take all Ihe grain offered b farmers be tween this date and November 1 and sloro ll for fuluro deliveries. There can scarcely bo a shadow of doubt but the winter and spring market for broadstulTs will bo very much higher lhan that which will prevail when the grain is moved. The lack of elevator and granary capacity In the state will force millions of bushels from the slack direct lo the cars. If this could bo stored In Omaha wo could talco a Iromdndous stride toward becoming a great grain marlcot this first season of operation under the now grain law. All wo need is olova tors. Wo have capacity now for but l,2oU,000 bushels. ' Wo need elevators enough to carry 10 times as much grain. As Tun Unis looks at It the question of a grain market hero immedi ately is simply ono of elevator or storage capacity. s or suuniEitif TJMD/ ; . The agricultural producers of the United States are largely Interested in the success of the policy or reciprocity. The benefit It will bo to them Is the strongest reason urged in its favor , and they have unanimously recognl..od this and approved the policy. In his letter to Senator Fryo , of just ono year ago , Secretary Blalno said : "Tho charge against the protective policy which has injured it most is that its benefits go wholly lo the manufacturer and the capit- allbt and not at all to the farmer. Here is an opportunity whore the farmer maybe bo bonofittcd primarily , undeniably , richly bonofittod. Our foreign marlcot for breadstuffs grows narrower. Great Britain is oxortingovory nerve to secure her broad supplies from India , and the rapid expansion of the wheat area in Russia gives us a powerful compotltor in the markets of Europe. It becomes us , therefore , to use every opportunity for the extension of our market on both of the American continents. With nearly $100,000,000 worth of sugar seeking our market every year wo shall pt-ovo ourselves - solves most unskilled legislators if wo do not secure a largo field for the sale and consumption of our breadstuffs and provisions. " It was the interests of ag riculture which Mr. Bluino had chiefly n mind in urging this policy. Very few persons appreciate the possi- } llities of southern trade. The coun tries lying south of the United States contain a population of nearly 53,000,000 , and have a foreign commerce amount ing annually to $1,200,000,000. The United States is ono of the very boat customers of those countries , buying of ; hem annually merchandise to the vnluo of about $200,000,000 , but tills country > rovldos them wlfch only a small part of , holr requirements , our exports to ill of them aggregating only about $01,000,000 , thus loss than one-quarter of the trade of these countries is with the United States. When the circum stances and conditions of the past are consldotcd perhaps it is to bo said that wo have done very well , but the time ia como when wo can no longer permit .hose . markets to bo almost monopoli/od jy Kuropoan nations , because wo need , hem and this need will grow stronger rom year to year. Reciprocity IB distinctively a ropub- ican policy. It received no favor rom the last democratic mini lu stration. It has boon advocated ) y ' no democratic loader. It s not supported by the demo cratic party , though the party is c.vro- ul not to assail it. It is not expected .hat . the next democratic house of rep resentatives will do anything to advance t. Could the farmers of the country nako any greater mlsUko , thoroloro , than to withhold their support from the uirty which has formulated and is car- ylng out as rapidly 113 practicable a jolloy that promises to greatly widen , ho demand for their products and nec essarily assure thorn better prlcos for what they have to sollV Kvory farmer who understands his own Interests and loslros to see the commerce of the coun- , ry extended will vote to continue the' ' republican party in power. % T//B 1'OSTAlt SVIiSWr. Postmaster General Wnnauiakor has joon autlvo in his efforts to , Interest capital , and particularly that already in vested in steamship lines to foreign countries , in the opportunity which the ; > oatal subsidy bill offers for extending , ho ocean transportation facilities of the country , and It is stated that results of great Importance to the whole country are in prospect , The postal subsidy law authorizes the postmaster general to make contracts with American steam ship lines for the transportation of the United States malls to foreign countries , and Incidentally , as far as possible by this moans , to encourage American com merce ana the building of American ships. This measure does not go as far as the advocates of ship subsidies do- ulrod , but it la oil that It was bollovod the country would approve , and conforms essentlallj to the recommendations of the administration. There is an im portant difference , which all fair-minded men rcoognko , between a swooping sub- uldy system which proposes to pay bounties to everything that llotits , nnd a policy of liberal compansutlon for car- Tying the mails which will encourage the building of large , swift nnd thor oughly modern stc unships , as the law of the last congress contemplates. If the purpose of the postal subsidy law shall bo attained this country will have within the next two years fleets ol steamships convoying its malls and products to many foreign ports where no American ships now go , and bringing return cargoes directly to our merchants moio rapidly than it is possible for them to now obtain such foreign merchandise , and probably also at much moro favor able ratos. The olloctof being provided with transportation facilities vastly su perior in all respects to these now at command could not fall to exert a most important inlluonco favorable to the extension of our foreign trade , tlio uniform tostimonyof the mar- chants of the countries south of the Uniled Slates being that thcro Is noth ing moro nocepsary to the enlargement of our commerce with these countries than the possession of our own moans of transportation of a class able to compete in every way with the best equipped foreign steamship linos. It is to the at tainment of this that the legislation of the last congress and the work of the administration are directed , and it is said that the prospect of satisfactory results Is very favorable. The mana gers of the steamship lines with whom the postmaster gonciral has conferred have manifested a disposition to accept the conditions imposed by law , and in view of tills an advertisement has boon issued in all the coast cities for bids , under the law , setting forth what mail service is desired to bo performed by the postoffico department and calling for offers on the part of the different steamship companies of the work of transporting the mails to foreign coun tries , which they are willing to per form. The practical ability of the postmaster general appears to have boon as thor oughly dom9iistrutod in connection with this matter , in which ho has taken a most hearty interest , as in that of every thing else connected with Iho improve ment and advancement of the postal service , and if ho is as fortunate in securing good results in this as in other directions there will bo no opposition anywhere to the policy of the now law. Tnu colob ration of July 4 in Portland , Mo. , furnished fresh evidence of tbo fail ure of prohibition. So far as that city is concerned , according to the leading paper of the town , there was raoro drunkenness on that day than for many years , and the police were kept busy running in the intoxicated , attention being necessarily given oniy to the vicious and troublesome. The police station was crowded and still the streets were filled with .the inebriated. The paper does not say whether the saloons were open or the pocket peddlers did the business , nor is it important to know. The evident fact is that every body who wanted liquor in Port land could got it and that hundreds did got it to an extent to make the day me morable for the amount of intotica- tion. Other Maine cities are lo bo hoard from , b\jt \ this single example is suffi cient to show that even under the moro stringent legislation recently adopted prohibition In the towns of Maine still fails to prohibit. THE school board will consider the ap plications tonight of a largo number of men who want to bo janitors. " Many of these seek roappolntmont. They should bo dealt with solely on their merits as janilors , nnd the principals of the schools are the best judges of their effi ciency and faithfulness. Some of the candidates , it is bollovod , have boon compelled lo pay tribute to the "gang , " with a view to roappolnlmonl. The com mittee whoso recommendation is neces sary to the euccess of all candidates for those places should sift this matter care fully and see that every appointment is inado on merit alone. Nnw YOKIC will wait a long time for a national political convnntion because the center of political power Is steadily moving westward , but the great state maintains her ascendancy as a religious center and thocoforo the next mooting of the Young People's Society of Chris tian Endeavor will convene in Now York city. This religious organization by the way , has larger conventions than any political party and remains in session fully as long. Verily they that bn good have their reward. Now York has the largest number of Endeavor societies in Iho union and is clearly entitled to the 1692 convention. MR. GIIAULHS WOOSTKII of Silver Creole is technically correct in saying the alliance loaders have no authority of alliance law for expending alliance funds for political purposes , but the fact is they have expended largo sums and nro gelling ready for slill larger PX- pondituros , right or wrong. It is this frigid fact which republicans must face and it cannot bo cheerfully or success fully faced with empty pockets. OHARUB J. GIUKNtho glftod attor ney of the Burlington railroad , makes a very clover and specious argument against a maximum freight schedule , but Mr. Green is wrong. The state of Nebraska is not on a level with Iowa and adjacent states In the matter of freight rates and until she is the people will continue to demand their rights In this particular. MAYOU CUSIUNQ has not yet ap pointed Iho third member of the board of puDllo works. Ho is doubtless con sidering the rolullvo claims and qualifi cations of applicants and it is to bo hoped , will take the best man offered. The best man is a republican who has lived in Omaha from boyhood , has a good name and is every way competent for the plnco. IF the board of education has any re gard ( or Its business reputation it will elect a superintendent of schools tonight.

The board should accept the Invita- lion of Iho Helena people lo visit that city and arrange for work on this im portant enterprise from both ends of the lino. _ _ _ _ A MOHE enterprising organization than our board of public works would long slnco have made It impossible for a North Omaha company of Indignant taxpayers lo ridicule thorn for the con- dilion of Spaulding slroot. SOMK sort of organization of Omaha people for a proper representation at the world's fair should bo undertaken forth with. It will bo nearly two years before the fair opens , but there is a vast amount of preparation necessary. MEN in Omaha who nro wanting in enthusiasm over Iho republican national convention should read thr press com ments concerning Omaha'n amblllon and wake up lo the fact that everybody Is in favor of Omaha. THE way Lincoln takes hold of the enterprise of securing the national en campment of the Grand Army of Iho Re public speaks volumes for the public spirit of hot- people and gives good prom ise of success.

Solving tlio Immigration Problem. VMlaiMiMn I'reas. The Hebrew alliance of St. Louis deserves ligli commendation for Its movement toward tbo solution of tbo immigration problem. The alliance has decided to take charge of nil Hebrews of foreign birth who como to St. Louis , give them a thorough course in tno English language , instruct them as to the natuio of the laws of tbc country , and malto them , in every respect , thorough American citizens. This is a laudable example for other rorelgn-Auiorican societies to follow. Alliance tfew Voile Sun.

S'lcolay requires so many popular volumes in which to toll what ho supposed himself to enow about Mr. Lincoln , It Is appalling to blnU bow many volumes would bo required o toll what ho does not know. Indianapolis Jonriial : There was no good reason why Colonel McClure should have stated that Mr. Lincoln did not wish tbo re- lomlnatlon ot Mr. Hamlln in 1801 , but when 10 bad douo so bo should not have been so very angry whoa another , whose opportuni ty may have been us good as bis , denied hatjiuch was the caso. Now that Mr. Cook ms said that his understanding was that Mr. Lincoln wanted Mr. Humlln , and tuut the llli nol > delegation voted for him with that understanding , tbo weight of evidence seems lo bo against Colonel McCturo. I'hllndelpfila Record : This Is something llko using n Galling tun lo Ullt n rat. Nlcolny's posing as a historian on the strength of n clerical association with the great war president has long OTcltcd the ridicule of genuine literary men , and it Is tlmo Iho bubble wet pricked. Chicago Tlmos : "Indignation caused by tbo Introduction of n rival to a slxty-noro lot which ho had regarded as his own caused a valunblo jackass owned by a Missouri man to bray until ho burnt n blood-vessel nnd died. TbU incident Is recommended to the thoupht- ful consideration of ' 'Colonel" ' John G. Nicolay. 1'lilladolphln Bulletin i Johnson's personal weakness , together with his democratic rec ord , had oven then caused him to bo distrusted by many republicans , nnd Colonel McClure was by no moans the only delegate to tlio con vention of 180J who voted for him against his own personal judgment nnd In deference to the wishes of Ibe president. Globo-Domocittt : There is no. historical necessity , lhat is to say , for discussing and adjusting such a question , but the chances are thai Colonel McClure Is right , and that Hamlln was not renomlnatcd because Lin coln and other leaders of the party Ihouqut It would bo peed politics to gtvo tbo placn to Johnson as n southern man anil a conspicu ous representative of the union sentiment In the insurgent states. Chicago Herald : The pseuilo historian has shown In a verbose and scattering chronicle that ho did not possess the intel lectual Qualities fitting him to bo n private secretary during a great epoch in national history. The llfo of Lincoln evolved by him and John Hay is moro essentially n manu factured product of their combined mechanical Ingenuity than authentic charac terization of a heroic and pathotlo career. Philadelphia North American ( Clayton Mo- Michnol , editor ) : Mr. Nicolay has blundered. The contribution that might bo made to tbo subject by the editor of tbo North American , familiar from his boyhood with the discussion ot Iho political events of that period by those who were onlclolly nnd unoftlcially in the confidence of Mr. Lincoln , would have only tbo value of hearsay. But the readers of the North American may bo assured that at a time when the friends of Mr. Lincoln deemed it to bo imperative that his bands should bo strengthened ttoro was the posi tive purpose to follow his desires as to candi dates.

Fimdfl Coming West to Ilolp Harvest tlio Crop. Naw YOHK , July 13. The Tribune thu morning says : The weekly bank statement indicated an unexpected movement of money to the west. JTuo first shipment rendered necessary by the harvesting of the crop wns made last week. It Is impossible to predict the extent of tha movement or its offoot upon the local money market. So far as demand loans were concerned , rates were oven easier than they had boon. They rangoa from " ® i per cent , and the average for the was probably not over 3 per cent. There was very little demand for tlmo money , but the offerings were oven loss except for short peri ods. For nlno months or it year no loans could bo.ncgotiatod i\t less than 0 per cent , and then only on high grade securities. The only shipment of gold In tbo week wns $500,000 on Tuesday , but bankers were uncer tain until the very la t moment that they would not bo oidercd to ship specie by Sat urday's steamers. It Is popularly supposed that the outflow of gold has ceased and the increasing exports of merchandise , princi pally wheat , will bo followed necessarily by a return movement of specie. Admitting that , tbo latest sulpmcnts have boon bv n private ngicomont with the Bank of Franco , tbcie is n tolerable certainty that within the next throe months there will bo imported nt least 510,000,000 of gold. On the hypothesis that the 4) ) per cent bonds will result in increas ing tbo national bank circulation by $15,000,000 , the money market will bo strengthened by the Ilrst of October by from $10,000,000 to O.OOO.OOO. Whether tills will bo sufllctont to moot tha requirements of the west for tlio movement of the abundant crops can bo determined only by the ovont. Bonks , las well as private capitalists , ore fortifj themselves in every possible way and tM action which is conservative and prudent , may prevent tbo monetary crisis which they evidently fear. The exports of merchandise caused n fullar supply of commercial bills , which was reflected in lower rates for foreign - oign exchange. At the nnd of the week the market was a little steadier , closing at $1.8 , " ) and $1.87 for long nnd short sterling bills re spectively.
