HAMILTON'county will make Gover nor Campbell wish ho had never become n democrat hoforo and after election. The split in the party so fur as Hamil ton county , Ohio.is'concerned is irrepar able. * THRUM is probably no significance whatever in the fact that the capitalist of the newspaper syndicate which pro poses to run a Now York and Boston paper in Chicago is named Green and obtains his capital by inheritance. HAKVESTBKS are scarce. All the Im plement mon in the west ngrco that they have been unobln to secure enough binders to supply the demand. In view of the largo number of binder inanufac- turles this is rather remarkable and suggests the possibility that the manu facturers are simply working oil old stock preparatory to a reorganization of the trust with a view to manufacturing but ono kind of harvester. LAST winter an act was passed by the legislature providing that the roadhouses - houses and saloons within the throe milo limit should bo compelled to pay a license of300 per annumn , and placed upon the commtsslonors'tho duty of pro viding for the collection of this license. There are probably fifty saloons within the territory named , but thus far no licenses Imvo boon issued. What do the commissioners propose to do about it. CALIKOHNIA protests against .being shut out of the chlofship of the depart ment of horticulture at the world's fair and offers through the stuto board of trade to bo satisfied with the selection of any ono of four gentlemen named. Those nru , T. Do Bath Shorb , a viticul- turlst of Pasadena ; Prank Kimhall , an nil round fruit grower of San Diego ; El wood Cooper , an olive grower of Santa Barbara , and George A. Fleming of San Jose. This la something like business and the board of control may give the golden state another chance. Tin : Btato of Alabama lost year pro duced inoro Iron ere than Pennsyl vania.

These facts lllus- truto the wonderful growth of the latter state In this branch of Industry and suggest the po-sibllltlos of the future. Prom the census figures the Indications are that the future centers of iron pro duction will ho Puget sound on the Pa- clflo coast , Birmingham , east-Tcnnossoo nntl North Carolina In the south and the Pittsburg roglon in the north. SKNATOU CAIIKY of Wyoming , who has boon traveling through the west , takes u hopeful view of the political out look from the splendid condition of the crops. Ho remarks that fanners have stopped talking politics and have begun to talk business , und that they nro be ginning nlto to look with distrust upon those professional politicians who are willing that others should toil and spin while they wear the purple and line linen. Years of bountiful harvests and general prosperity nro not favorable to democratic victories or the growth of new parties. These prosper on poor crops und commercial depression. UVOtlT TO IiK AN KASY VlOTOllY. The Ohio republicans ought to win at nntl signal -victory this year. Thi situation is altogether In their favor The dissensions In the democratic rnnki are so serious lhr.1 It will hardly bo pos wlblo to Imrmonlzo the party. The bitter tor fcohng manifested at the state con vonllon clearly demonstrated that tin factional hostility Is too bitter to ponnll the party to "got together . " There ar tons of thousands of democrats who wil not support Governor Campbell on per sonal grounds , nntl there are othoi thousand * who will withhold their vote ; or give them to the republicans because of the attitude of the party regard Ing silver. Moreover all Ohio demo crats nro not opposed to the tnrllT , There Is n very considerable element ir the party that favors moderate protcc tlon , and those will not endorse by tholi votes the platform enunciation regard ing the tariff. For ono reason and an other it would not be surprising If the democratic defection in Ohio this yoai should rcnch 60,000 , but whether it 111113 bo republican success appears to bo as sured , The issue on the democratic side is the record of Governor Campbell's ad ministration. This ifl shown by the speech of the governor to the conven tion after the nomination which was almost wholly taken up with a defense of his administration. The republicans will not avoid this issue , and they will bo able to show that the claims of Governor Campbell will stand a great deal of correction. They will arraign the governor for tlio strictly par tisan way in which ho has used the pub lic institutions of the stuto and the de moralizing olTocts of his policy regard ing them. His boast of economy will bo shown to bo groundless , and ho will bo justly held responsible for the infamous gerrymander of the congressional dis tricts , which ho had the power to pro- vent. So far as this is uo of the gov ernor's record is concerned , therefore , the republicans of Ohio could desire nothing better on which to make a campaign. They will not conllno them selves to this , however , but will force the aemucrats to discuss national issues , and in this also , the advantage is with the republicans. No party can carry Ohio on an antl-tarill und free coinage of sil ver platform. The insincerity of the Buckeye democrats is on a par with that of their Iowa brethren in the matter of making a swooping denunciation of the appropriations of the last congress , and at the same time professing to desire liberal pensions for disabled soldiers and sailors and their widows and orphans. Of the 3170,000,000 increase in the appropriations of the last congress $113,000,000 was for pensions. The re publican party has not professed an in terest in the old soldier and then denied him just consideration , as was done by the last democratic administration. It has kept its promise , and the amount of money required to do this constitutes two-thirds of the increase in the appro priations of the last congress. The republicans of Ohio have every thing on their side in thib campaign , and possess the very great advantage of being well organized and entirely har monious. It is sate to predict a signal republican victory in Ohio this year. 77/K HEAL KSTATK OWNERS. The promoters of the Real Estate Owners' association are gratilicd. at the success which has thus far attended their efforts to interest the owners of real property in an organization more general in its character than either the board of trade or real estate exchange. It Is essentially the people's association. Its membership is larger than that of either of the old organizations , and it is no close corporation. The man with o , single lot who buya a share of stock has just as much influence- the million aire , in proportion to his investment. It in nowise conflicts with the plans or pur poses of either the board of trade or real estate exchange , but is intended to supplement their efforts for the upbuild ing of the city. There is a vast amount of work in this city dependent upon public spirit and organized enterprise. Each of the sev eral organizations will Ilnd plenty to do and all working together for a common uirpoio will make their usefulness felt. To achieve complete success the Real Estate Owners' association must have the moral support and the substantial recognition of the people at largo. Thus 'ar a gratifying interest has boon mani- 'ested , but other citizens must enlist and contribute cash to bring about many desired - sired results. The ofllcors nro devoting their time unselfishly to the association. They deserve - serve the support of the community , 'jot the people rally about them and on- iblo the organization to accomplish its lonolieent purposes. ro MH. ahEVE The democrats of two of the most 1m- lortant states that hold elections this , 'onr , Iowa and Ohio , have declared in 'iivor ' of the f roe and unlimited coinage , of silver. This is a damaging blow to .ho presidential aspirations of Mr. Grover Cleveland. When some time ago Mr. Cleveland gave renewed testl- nony of his hostility to free coinage the ntontion undoubtedly was to Influence .ho action of the democrats of those states on this question. Obviously it was felt to bo important that the west ern democratic constituencies should un- lor.stand that the ex-prosldontand olaim- int was still standing whore ho had stood during his administration ! ) as to this question. These constituencies wore soon to express themselves , and it was loslrablo that they should khavo the counsel of the leader. The result shows that the counsel was without effect It is true that in the Ohio democratic convention 300 votes wore cast against the free coinage plank of the platform , but it is by no moans to ) e assumed that all of these votes rep resented hostility to the policy. It is no re probable that the democrats who voted this way did to from u conviction that it would bo impolitic to taka a po sition on the question nt this time. At my rate the democracy of Ohio , IB of Iowa , stands " committed to the frco and unlimited coinage of silver , and in this It is in accord with the sentiment of the southern wing of the party. The fact is now entirely clear tlmt the controlling forces in the democratic party nro in favor of oponln/ / the mint. of the country to the silver o the world. The democrats of the south and of the west are entirely harmonious on this question , and they will dlctatf the action of the next national conven lion. What chance will there be , then , for Air. Cleveland' ? Ho has inndo reservation that may enable him.U . stand on n free coinage platform n yoai hence , In saying that the condition ! nt that time may bo such as tc wnrrant experimenting with this policy , but lib could not do this wlthou the certainty of losing Now York , anil that state will bo absolutely necessary tc democratic success next year. It Is entirely plain that Mr. Glovolatu no longer has the firm hold upon his party that ho once had , and there Is IK reason to suppose that ho will recover what ho has lost. The free discussion ol other loaders ns presidential posslblli' tics is significant of a widespread ten dency to cut loose from the ox-president , nnd this is very likely to grow. The free coinage declarations of the lown und Ohio democracy have certainly di minished the chances of Mr. Cleveland for again loading the democracy in n national campaign. A CONTKlHUT&u to the controvert regarding tlio preference of Mr. Lincoln In the matter of the vice presidency in 18(11 ( points out the interesting fact , which has n , great deal of relevancy , that the convention of that year was not a republican convention but was called a union national convention , The delegates - gates consisted of "war democrats" as well ns republicans , and certain of the seceded states wore represented. This necessitated , in the view of the writer , the nomination of a war democrat for the second place and therefore precluded wholly the nomination of Hamlin. This is certainly plausible , and the writer who presents it adduces very good testi mony in support of it. But there is still no evidence to conclusively show that Mr. Lincoln was partial to Johnson , although ho was undoubtedly well pleased with his selection. CUKIOHTON' college is ono of the edu cational institutions of which Omaha is justly proud. The people regret the de parture of its late president , Father Fitzgerald , who is not only a moat ex cellent man , but n thorough organizer , a good educator and a gentleman who wins the sympathies of his studonts. The rules of his order take him to another position as president of St. Ignatius col lege , Chicago. In his place , however , the Omaha college receives Rov. Father IIoolTor of St. Louis , a man in the pi imo of life , of great energy and scholarly at tainments. Ho will tnko up the good work whore his popular predecessor left it and push Croighton college onward in its career to n foremost position among the educational institutions of the west. THUUSDAY , August 20 , will bo a rod- , letter day in Omaha. On that occasion the grain men of Nebraska will bo the guests of tlio Omaha board of trti'Jo. Long before that date it is expected the Omaha grain oxqhango will bo formally opened and the visiting dealers and warehousemen will bo initiated into the methods of the now grain market , the live stock shippers will probably visit Omaha at the same time. It will bo a great business convention and do much to encourage that good feeling which should exist between the business men of the state and those of Omaha. THOSK two public spirited gentlemen who resigned'from the board of directors of the Omaha board of trade to enable the organization to replace them with grain mon and further the enterprise of building up a great grain market here , deserve the commendation which their public spirited and unselfish action has drawn from the business public goner- ally. It may bo remarked that the bus iness mon referred to are among the most Industrious and energetic members of the board of trado. FINANCIAL encouragement to manu factories should bo given sparingly and only in return for definite benefits. Man ufacturers who como here for bonusus instead of business are not the style ol business mon who are likely to succeed. Tlio expense of removing n successful plant and reasonable oncouragoniDnt in the way of locations at minimum cost are about nil that the citizens should bo expected to contribute toward .establish ing such enterprises in Omaha. IT is only fair to Btato in connection with the fact that Dr. Gapon Is drawing two salaries that the doctor called the attention of the council to the conflict between the city ordinance creating the ofllco of city physician and fixing the salary at $2-100 per annum nnd the charter provision for a commissioner of health at $2,000 per annum in a com munication to that body several weeks ago. _ _ _ _ _ % CKAIUMAX FINLKY of the Western Passenger association will find no fault it is hoped with western newspapers who regard it as somewhat remarkable that excursion rates can promptly bo ar ranged for a prize light , while intoler able delay follows all olYorts to secure Favorable notion upon the question of harvest excursion tickets. COUNCILMAN ELSASSKU was right in opposing the contract for n now. patent smoke consumer in the city hall to cost &t,800. The smoke consumer selected may be the best , but inasmuch as most of tlio several hundred devices for con suming smoke are of doubtful utility this ono should bo thoroughly tested before - fore it is purchased. OMAHA'S mining oxohango has boon organized. There is no good reason why it shall not become an important factor in the business of tlio city. The conditions nro favorable for largo Invest ments in mining enterprises and in creased activity in the mining Industry.

The editor of tno Courier-Journal has not the smallest personal dlallKO of Governor [ III ! . If the governor and his. friends are sat- islled with the episode referred to , assuredly Mr. Wuttcrson Uaa no deslro to disturb their equanimity. In the meantime , however , ho dooa not regard the governor as a probable , .lorhaps . not oven a possible , domocr.itio nom- . uco for proiidont in 1803 and for the follow- ng reasons : These reasons condensed are : 1. That there s n widespread feeling , unfounded though it 30 , that Cleveland was defeated by some deal u Now York with which Hill was connected. These who believe this may bo turned 'rom following after Cleveland , but they will not support.Ulll. In 1830 the party relinquished Samuel J. Tlldon. But It did rally to John Kelly. . The cases now and then are , of course , not parallel , and yet there Is Ikcness enough to make the ono servo to > olnt the moral of the othor. 2. Governor Hill is not in sympathy with the great democratic movement for tax ro- 'orm. Where ho stands now , thnt the Issue bo univerjally accepted by democrats anil nade explicit und clear , is still doubtful , but during thostrugtrlo , when there were enemies nldo the party , Governor Hill was the enemy of progress. , Governor Hill will bo felt In the next demo cratic convention , but on the sldo of dostruc- ion , not of creation. Ho may hope to defeat Cleveland and malco Now York decide the Inal result. This must lonvo thn crovornor in the unpleasant role of a managing politician cold , unfeeling , vengeful and narrow un equal to the requirements of the hour or the uspirations of his party and the nuoplo merely n selfish , ahort-signtcd man , incapable of sacritlccs , or generous Impulse , or largo conceptions of any sort. Governor Hill is not n likelihood for the lamination. For any hope for that ho must bow himself u hotter man than the country hus far bollovos him to be. Governor Illfl ( iiows ni llttln ot public affairs and men aS Cleveland did on coming to the presidency , nit is said to bo a bright man. In that case m may yet prollt In tlmo by the kindly , hough unpleasant counsel given him. 1,1 ILK Uitt MUlHKU 31AUK. Jmnes irintcninh Iltlcu.

LISCOI.X , Nob. , July 10. [ Special to Tit Dec. ] Shortly before 1 o'clock this niornln the nro department was hurriedly called t Eighth and P streets by a blaze In the fee ana sale stable of I.W. . McFaddon , linmodl ntcly adjoining the Tromont hotel on th south. When the llrcmcn arrived the atnbl was n mass of [ lame , nnd their efforts \vcr centered on saving the hotel , which was Ii most imminent danger. The inllammnblo ma terial caused n terribly hot blaze , and It wa with difficulty the ilromon could work. The lire was undoubtedly of mcondlnri origin , and was started at the foot of an en closed stairway In the south yard of the hole and which winds around lo the cast sldo. A : the stairway was enclosed all the way , i acted as a chimney for the ( lames , whlcl entered the east door of the hallway nnd fol lowed It all the way to thu north end ot the hotel. The heat was so Intense that the pnlnt nl the way was melted , nnd the furnlturo am mouldings blistered and discolored by smoke The guests of the hotel had very narrov escapes. The llnmcs raging in the hallway on tut second story prevented these in the rooms or the third floor from getting out , andahal : dozen or more wore rescued in their nigh ! clothes by the Ilromon and taken to tb < ground on ladders. These in the second story rooms wore als ( in n dangerous proulcament , and one man , r railroader , who had retired u few hours previous vious after a long run , came near being suf focated. Ho was so sleepy that ho had to be rolled on the door before ho could bo awak ened. A number of others had narrow es capes , nnd singed moustaches are the fashion at the Tremont today. Tlie livery stable was completely gutted , and twelve horse. ? and ono mule burned allvo. Among the horses destroyed was Bob Mitchell's f < )00 stallion pacer , four head belonging - longing to the Lincoln bottling works , ono horse belonging to the Globe white lead works , ono to Aronson Brothers , grocers on South Ninth street , two horses belonging to McFoddon , nnd three transients owned by farmers who hod put up their nnlmnls for the night. The mule belonged to John Noland. McFadden estimates his lois at $50 ! ) , with no insurance. The building was owned by George Smith , and is ii.surcd for $100. The ilntnaqu to the Tromont hotel , ovvntfd by Bob Smith , Is about $31)0. ) McFaddon saved his ouggy and harccss in a peculiar manner. A man came along last evening with n line buggy nnd put his horse up. He objected to letting tits vehicle stand outside , fearing it would rain , und MuFaddoti accommodatingly shoved his own ouUi'le to make room for It. As a consequence the stranger's busgy , along with three other vehicles , was burned. HATTI.B CIIKHIC HANK AFrAIIl. J. P.

STIMCUSK , N. Y. , July 10. Mr. U'altoi Shattuck , a farmer near here , has hud run ning In his pasture a thrco-ycnr-old bull. Oi Monday the bull began rushing up and down the fence line of the pasture bellowing nt the passers-by. When Mr. gimmick , armoi ! with a strong club , started to drive the ani mal bade , it turned and attacked him. II knocked him down and stood over him , tread ing his body with its hoofs nud trying to gore him. Mr. Shattuck's wife and daughter saw the attack and ran to his rescue. When the dnugh'tor arrived her father had succeeded In grasping with olio hand the ring In the bull's nose and with the other the animal's tongue. Ho called to his daughter not to como near , but to run back to the barn for a pitchfork. The wife now reached the scene and pluckily grabbing the animal by tbe horns aided her husband to direct the brute's blows away from his body and Into the ground. Air. Shuttuck , who was still on his back tumbleto rise , was by this time nearly stripped of Ills clothing. Blood streamed from his fnco where n horn had gored him.

Then , with all her strength , she hold the infuriated animal to the ground while the mother dr.iggcd the father from beneath tlio brute's hoof. But before Mr. gimmick had succeeded in regaining his foot the animal gavon lurch , the stool ring broke from his nose ana ho was once more free. Then for an Instant the three stood expecting his onslaught. Had It como upon them in their exhausted condition it must have resulted In the death or maim ing of all three of them. But for some rea son the animal hesitated. It looked at them dubiously for a moment , 'then turned and walked away. Mr. Shattuck was so badly injured , tlmt serious doubt is expressed as to his recovery. _ IJriitul Murder In Peru. PANAMA , July 10.
