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

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

producing states mid the output of
Pennsylvania was twelve times as largo

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. _ _ _ _ _ %

COUNCILMAN ELSASSKU was right in
opposing the contract for n now. patent

may be the best , but inasmuch as most
of tlio several hundred devices for con

this ono should bo thoroughly tested before -

Wo are ready- ito acknowledge that the
worst elements of the Ohio democracy have
been arrayed agahjst Governor Campbell.
But that is not suQlulont reason for his elec
tion. The best elements ol Ohio citizenship
are in favor' ' of McKinley u sentiment that
stands for social ace and prosperity.
Henry AVnttcrs'on oil Dnvo Hill.
Liutsvtllc C urtcr-Joiirnal.
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.

UNDOUBTEDLY OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN
ICITortH In Ilelinir of the IJattlo Creel
Ilnnlc HitriiLMl with Onuollno
Pntlictlo Story of an
Insane Itlnn.
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

I , Ho.
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. Ills client was
n mass of bruises , two rlba were broken and
his limbs were badly lacerated by the ani
mal's trampling. It hao been at least twenty
minutes slnco the terrible llKlifbegun when
the daughter arrived with a pitchfork. She
thrust Its tinps through tlio ring in the bull's
nose and into the ground. 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. _
