TUB dcinocratiu party is oii ti < * ed in the disgraceful futile ofl'ort of making a broach in the personal relations between the president and secretary of state. THK investor who never soils real estate which once conies into his posses sion will ttiko now courage' when ho learns that land in Pall Mall , London , is worth $ o,0)0,000 ( ) per acre. To TIIK American reader it sounds Btrango indeed to hoar the bill for free schools in Great Britain denounced by men calling themselves liberals as a bribe by which the conservatives hope to maintain their power. GOVKHNOU CAMi'iiur , ! , , running on a free coiiiJ'go ' platform for governor of Ohio , and Grover Cleveland , passing as nn opponent of silver , making speeches for him is a sight to make the gods of consistency anil political integrity weep. Si'KAKiN'o about fakes , the absurdity of the latest is clearly exposed when one thinks of the thrift and shrewdness of pur lieutenant governor. Ho would not involve himself in any unnecessary expense - ponso pending the decision of the supreme premo court of the United States. A WKKK ago the world wns rejoicing because Emperor William had expressed sentiments to Lord Salisbury favorable to a general disarmament of European powers. Today Russia and Prance are saucily indicating that the alliance of all the other nations of Europe gives them no uneasiness , and llussia estab lishes a military depot distressingly close to Herat , the gate of India. NOTHING under heaven is so deliber ate , so oxiisporatingly imUIToront to the onward swoop of time as the export ac countant working for a per diem , save only a salaried draughtsman in the ofllco of the supervising architect of the treasury. "Export' ' as applied to ac countants and treasury architects has not the remotest reference to speed or industry , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CMS VKLAND will go from Capo Cod whore his Now England admirers com mended his htand against free coinage to Ohio whore his admirers are com mitted to free silver.

SKNATOU I'KTTKJUISW is in Washing ton , whore ho lias filed a protest against the payment of any part of the commis- nion claimed by General Sanborn of St. Paul for services in securing the appro priation made for the purpose of paying claims of the Slsseton and \Vnhpoton Indians of South Dakota. As to the merits of this particular claim Tun BlCH is not informed , but it has a well grounded suspicion that the Indian ap propriations are annually looted by claim attorneys and fours that the extent to which trumped up commissions are claimed and paid is liable to amount to a scandal. SAUNDUUS county is atypical farming community. It has no largo cities. Wahoo the county seat has loss than 8,000 people and no other villngo exceeds in number 1,000.

What will Calamity 13111 Dech nnd his co < jaw-workors at Lincoln eay to this bright , particular and well tuthontlcated fact'/ trrmntfo STOVK fvm OM.IHA. The discussion of the proposed rail way connection with Montana is inci dentally bearing fruit in arousing inter est In our stocK market in the cattle re gion of northern Wyoming. This sec tion ships something like 50.000 cattle nnd n largo nnd nnmmlly increasing number of sheep. It is penetrated by the Union Pacific with Its branch from Cheyenne to Douglas , the Hlkhorn ex tending to Buffalo , nnd the Burlington which will soon make n temporary ter minus in the very midst of the most ex tensive ranges. Although this country has boon opened to Omaha for bettor than a year , com paratively few shippers have taken ad vantage of the Omaha market. The Klkhorn and Burlington lines have boon interested in securing the long haul to Chicago anil the Union Pacific has alTordod Kansas City at Icastcqual facilities with Omaha. The Northern Pacific competition has been on Chicago ra'o ' ; ) , and Omaha haste to all intents and purposes been shut out. out.Tho The local newspapers liavo boon in quiring into the subject on boh tlf of Wyoming herdsman , and are advising them to look into the advisability of increased shipments to Omaha. The Buffalo Kfho strikes the subject with the spark-giving Hint of .intelligence in a recent article which calls attention to Omaha's advantages in four particulars : Shorter haul , loss shrinkage , lower freight charges and quicker returns. The malingers of the Ornaha yards and packing houses need only insist upon their rights to force the railways to give Omaha an oqaal show in northern Wyo ming. Once the .shippers thoroughly understand the advantages alTordod hero , they will co-operate with the people of Omaha and ttio bulk of the shipments will como hero instead of to Chicatro. I'AlllXGJOinV /AVJWH7'BDA'K.S\S . Good credit is the host sort of capital for a state as well as an individual. Good credit is established by debt pay ing and not debt making. As the Nor folk Nrwfi felicitously puts the proposi tion , "Tho fact that Nebraska is a mortgage paying instead of a mortgage giving state will do more to ward bring ing in now settlers and increasing values than all the boom literature thut could possibly bo circulated in the east. " Nebraska has never repudiated her indebtedness , either state , municipal or individual , llor prosperity has boon built upon the solid rock of honestly mooting honest obligations. The bor rowed capital of the east has been util- ixed in developing her resources. Their development has improved securities and enabled borrowers to pay their in debtedness , foreclosures of mortgages have never burdened the records of the courts of the state. The safe policy of the past will bo continued in the future. The present season's crops nnd the good prices which promise to prevail nITord our farmers- the opportunity to maintain their past record. Every farmer in the state should utili/.o a portion tion of the profits of the year in paring down his indebtedness. lie needs only working capital. The farmer is not a speculator. lie should borrow only enough to make the resources of his farm available and continue to operate within safe limits. The farmer should bo as conservative as the hanker , and never borrow without a reasonable prospecteof meeting his obligations as they fall due. The farmers , whoa they have opened up their farms and stocked them , should emerge from the debtor to the creditor class and maintain a reserve of cash as they maintain n reserve of grain and stock to provide against emergencies. The most independent man on earth is the skill ful farmer who owns a good farm well stocked , well equipped and is free from debt. Every farmer in Nebraska who has steadily kept this idea before him and worked to it , whoso misfortunes are not traceable to outside speculation or losses for which the farm is not blamo- able , has within ten years found him self .safe from foreclosure and above the probability of financial distress. IlKl'UllI.lVANlS IX THK SOUTH. Statistics derived from the census and from the election returns showing the progress of the republican party in cer tain states of the south the Virginias , North Carolina , Tennessee , Kentucky , Maryland and Delaware are interesting and oncouraginc1. They appear to dem onstrate that the south is not nearly so solid as is commonly supposed , and they suggest that there is more than a possi bility ot the republicans carrying some of those states In the near future. In the light of the liguros presented , when ono considers the deep-seated prejudice which southern republicans have had to combat , the growth of the party in the states immod has boon quite marvelous. Commenting upon the exhibit the Baltimore Amenc/tn / remarks that there is tv great deal of dense misunderstand ings about the political conditions of the south among northern and western republicans , as well as among demo crats ot those parts. Just as long as they insist , says the journal , upon making sectionalism an issue , just that long will they keep the south solid , and It says the people of the south arc patriotically attached to the union. It is n mistake to say that as a party the republicans are making sectionalism an issue , and espe cially docs suoh a charge do injustice to western republicans. They entertain no such fooling as this allegation implies , and the inlluence of thu republicans of the west has for years boon thrown against any legislation of a sectional nature or which seoinod to bo prompted by the spirit of sectionalism. It was this intluence which caused the abandon ment of the elections bill In the last con gress , every leading republican paper of the west , voicing the wall known senti ment of the party , having advised against the adoption of that measure. If It oo granted that sectionalism is an Usiio , made so by the republicans , those of the wc.st are not responsible for It and do not sympathise with it. Western republi cans desire as earnestly as those of any section the growth of the principles of the party everywhere and they d not believe that this can bo accomplished in the south by mnintainining thu spirit of sectionalism. The change which the $ outh Is under going under the operation of rapidly Im proving material conditions obviously furnishes the opportunity for the repub lican party to push forward In that sec tion by virtue of Its broader and more progressive statesmanship and its sounder industrial nnd financial policies. Whatever help western republicans can give toward this result they will most willingly render. TJIK WKLSJI TIA' SITUATION. The Welsh tin manufacturers have decided to resume operations , and will do so today If the 30,000 workmen who have been Idle for a month will return to work. Their decision to do si ) wilt de pend upon whether they are permitted to resume at the wages they received when locked out. The purpose of the manu facturers is to prevent , if possible , the development of tin making In the United States by reducing the price of their product , and they propose to otToct this reduction by lowering the cost of labor. The workmen are disposed to loyally adhere to the employers , but they ask that their wages bo continued at the old ratus , nnd that the manufacturers shall surrender a part of their profits. Both nro anxious that the incipient tin indus try of i he United States shall bo killed olt , but neither is willing to make any sacrifices. The mon declare that if their wages are not maintained they will emigrate to this country , and they appear to bo obstinately deter mined to accept nothing less than they ask , but it is highly probable that a compromise will bo ollqctcd and the mills resume operations. It has been expected that the Welsh manufacturers would decide to make tin aggressive war upon thp tin industry in this country , and it would bo foolish to assume that they will not bo able to im pede its progress. Tin making is ono of the most profitable industries , and if the manufacturers will yield a little of their profits and the workmen a small part of their wages , it is doubtless possible to cheapen foreign tin so as to undersell the American product in our own markets. The fact must bo recog nized that the manufacturers in this country are at a very great disadvantage in not having the skilled labor , and they cannot bring this from abroad. The steel plato can bo made here , but the process of tinning is difficult and requires mon thoroughly skilled in the work. It is not altogether an idle boast , therefore , of the Welsh tin ners thut they are necessary to the development of the tin industry in the United States. The result of to-day's negotiations be tween the Welsh masters and workmen will bo awaited with a great deal of interest in this country , but in any event it.is . not probable that the tin industry hero will be drivou to the wall. Ameri can enterprise is not so easily van quished. An aggressive warfare by the Welsh manufacturers -may retard the 'development of the industry in the United States , but it will not kill it. WAHLIKK INDICATIONS. Another war cloud appears to bo gath ering over Kuropo. It lias been nearly two years since there was serious reason for apprehending a disturbance of the peace of Europe , and the world had settled down to the conviction that such a possibility twas extremely remote. Few have believed that war would not" como eventually. The idea that it might be permanently averted has never obtained with those who have considered intelligently the relations of the great powers. But the inclination to peace of the emperor of Germany , who is practically the arbiter in European affairs , seemed to promise that it might bo many years before the blow would bo struck that would brine1 nearly the whole of Europe into a conflict possibly more disastrous than any the world has known. But if the latest advices can bo ac cepted as trustworthy there may soon bo a rude awakening for the nations from their dream of . peace. The renewal of the triple alliance between Germany , Italy and Austria , and the success of Emperor William in fcoeuring from Great Britain concessions which are understood to practically commit that nation to support the alliance , should an exigency arise that would make that support desirable , arc the significant Circumstances which have started anew conjectures as to how long peace can bo maintained. The relations between Hussia . and Franco have boon growing closer for some time , and although there is no actual alliance it is altogether probable that there is an understanding which would imito thorn , in the event of either being attrclcod. All the indications are that the very best of feeling exists between the two governments , and it is quite reasonable to suppose that the outward manifesta tions of friendliness have their founda tion in something more substantial than international comity. Unquestionably Prance and Hussia fully understand that they are to stand together in a European war. If Einpovor William really desires to maintain peace ho will probnbly bo hotter - tor able to do so with England as an ally than If that country occupied a neutral position. But a great deal will depend upon the policy of the quadruple alliance , for such it practically Is. If the course is agtrrossivo only so far as shall bo doomed necessary to preserve peace , war may bo indolinite'.y post poned , but any attempt to place Franco or Kussia at a greater disadvantage than now would almost certainly pre cipitate hostilities. TllH bar of Council HI tills challenges the bar of Omaha for a game of base ball. Wo have bovon district judges and two ox-judges in the Omaha bar just mt'ii enough for a nine.

" The demo crat who cannot make a platform or accept a nomination with those pointers as a basis will bo obliged to call upon the election olllcors to make out his ticket for him when ho casts his ballot in November. THK board of trade banquet of August 20 will bo a great occasion for Omaha.

THE Omaha and Council Bluffs Clmutuuqun association suffered a good deal from the unfavorable weather , but succeeding seasons are not likely to bo against thorn.

WHEN our now school superintendent assumes his position it is hoped ho will bo allowed to perform his duties in his own wny without petty interference on the part of oflicc'rs or members of the board of education.

As a result a number of very Intelligent nnd ex haustive replies has been received. They nro too voluniiiiotis to bo published , however , and appended consequently Is hut the salient fea ture of each reply. It shows , however , Hint thu plan suggested by Mr. WnLson finds sup porters only in t\vo Instances , thus einphasl/- Ing thu fact that hereafter lit this year , the question of a gubernatorial election Is to be considered only a dead , n verv dead issue. II. D. Hathaway , Lincoln I ean see no Justice In nominating n candidate for gov ernor tlds full , ( Jood reasons have boon ad vanced to show that it can not bo dono. \V. A. McAllister , Ooluinuus The election would not bo a legal ono. It would not bo proper to touch it until the United Status supreme premo court passes upon LJovornor Uoyd's cuso. Li. II. Harris , Donning What U the use o ( trying to talto this matter out of ttio hands of the supreme court and place It In the liitiuis of the peoplol I can't see anything but tti- Unite harm to the parly who attempts It. A. A. Kearney. StuntonNo election nun hn had unless n special provision is mnilo for the sumo in ttio constitution or by statute. If any person has discovered any such pro vision ho .should immediately don the gurb of a modern Mose-s. M. C. Frank , York Under the constitu tion Tlmyor's successor cannot bo elected until tho' general election , Ib'.H being an odd year. Mr. Watson perhaps Is on the verge of joining the independents. 1 cannot ex plain tils action on any other theory. II. A. Miller , Darlington There is no provision for counting the vote and declaring the result and , without this , tin election would oo folly. Lioraii Clark , Albion If there is a vacancy in the olllco of governor , my Judgment would bo to Jill the olllco by an election. Uul I do not believe there is a vacancy. Dr. H. G. Miller , Grand Island-I think Mr. Watson is making a serious mistake and if followed uji by the republican party will have an injurious affect upon it. " II. Lewis , Genoa tain" not in favor of the proposition because I bullovo it to be uncon stitutional. O. W. Kico , Croighton My Judgment is that thp people of the state will act wisely bv acquiescing in the decision of our supreme court in view of the fact that the Boyd imbroglio has life enough to sustain the hopes of admirers. A. Dragor , I'onca Tbo election could not bettor the condition of , but would perhaps prove an injury to the party. A. C. Abbott , Ponder 1 know of no law that compels the governor to call n special session of tbo legislature. As a consequence , the votes could not bo canvassed until 181KI. Joseph Van Valtn , Nelson 1 understood when Governor Uo.vd was ousted that Gov ernor Thayer would lill out the uuexpired term of two years. H. S. Wilkinson , Weeping Water-I do not believe it morally right , constitutionally IcL'iil or politlcallv necessary. II. M. 'Clark , Wahoo It would bo umviso ns a political move to put up n candidate If the present incumbent can hold over. II. 15. Schneider. Fremont It is a mistake to bring the matter up again and unsettle - settle what has Just begun to bo a settled Matter. J. E. Evans , North Platte Such n course would complicate the executive ofllco. G. A. Lowloy , Sow.ml I cannot see how the governor , if elected , could bo seated without reconvening the legislature. M. U. Davis , Ueatrico If Governor Thayer should surrender his olllco the now governor would certainly hold for two years nnd there would bo no governor to elect next year. C. Chinn , St. Paul I do not wish to ex press an opinion at present. , H. S. Silver , Sutton I am in favor of olectlng a now governor this fall. I have talked with 100 republicans nnd they are of the sumo opinion. J. S Gilhain. Ked Cloud- How a governor can bo legally elected this fall is more than I can understand. Judge S. M. Chapman , Plnttsmouth At first , I was strongly inclined to take u view of the cnso that Governor Thayer was merely Illling a vacancy , but from the examination 1 have boon enabled to make , I think the other ono is the safer to accept. .1 I , Mi'Phnnlv. Mlmlon No vncancv exists. John M. Thayer is governor during tbo term and until a successor is elected. Jutlgo W. U. Uurton , Hastings I uo not think nn election of governor in an odd num bered year would ho legal. C. n' . Lee , IChvood Why should > vo seek to change n sure thing for an uncertainty ( C. R Habcock , McUook From u political standpoint , it Is poor politics. Wo have a republican governor now and if committed to an election the alliance wouta elect thu gov ernor. Paul Schmlnko , Nebraska City Of course I am no lawyer , but from what 1 can learn .such a proposition would bo illegal. It would bo unconstitutional to elect n governor this fall. K. M. Searlo , OgallulaIt would bo clearly unconstitutional , CI. A. Prime , Grant Even if an election were held and a covoruor elected , u special session ol tlio legislature would have to bo called to canvass the vote. C. II. Halstoad. Tocumsch I nm strongly In favor of the election nnd don't see why It can't bo had unless the olllco of governor is still under contest. C. .1. Martin , Falrbury--H is the universal opinion tlm' . n reorganization of the central committed is moru to bo desired than un election for governor. T. H. Saunduri , Oscoola The republicans lioro agree with John L. Wohstor that it Is all popny-cock to talk about It and that some body must tiuvu been anxious to got up a sen sation. A. D. Milliard , Central City There Is not n republican hero who thinks the matter of nominating n candidate for governor will bo seriously considered. J. II. Barnes , Norfolk It Is very unwise to discuss the question ut all nt this tlino. At the meeting of tlio state central committee every ono held that un election would bo Illegal. George R Ford , Kearney As the Hon. J. E. Hoyil has taken steps to have the United Status fciipramu court sustain the decision or rovorao tlio action of the supreme court of tlio state , I am frank to say the decision ot the higher power hotter bo wattod for. J. D. Hoylo , Hebron -1 huvo talked to nourly nil the prominent republicans and they nil uny they do not favor the election of n governor this ynar. . . . L A. Ilrowu , ClmdronI consider it un necessary In view of the fact that Nebraska has two 'governors now who are only awaitI I Ing the action of the courts to know which li to serve the romalndor of the form. Henry St. Ilaynor , Sidney -If a governor could bo elected this year wo would have the anomalous predicament presented over after- , wanl of the election of the governor during the odd and the other onicurs during the even I numbered years , and the necessity of a ' * proclamation of the governor to recouvona > and the reconvening of the legislature ovary jf two vonr-i , for thooxpross purpose of oan- vnsilng the returns of the election for gubornntorinl candidate. Thus tills whole contention rcaehes the climax of absurdity. ( J. K. Wllkonson , Hrokon How -1 should say It would bo n farce for the ropnbllcatm to place In nomlnutlon a candidate for governor.

I And some two or tlireo years ago u company was orgnnl/cd for the purpose of building a line from Galveston , through Kansas City on to Montana and Miles City. The unfavor able legislation with regard to railroads , no doubt , had some oll'ect in preventing the pro posed rotito from becoming a reality. Hut the necessity stilt exists , anil lima will surely force the building of the road. The business for the road to do , now exists and is done , though not to thu extent it would bo done if the practice of feeding range cattle could bo more extensively en gaged in through a direct communication with the corn belt. Already cuttle raisers nnd sheep men are purchasing farms in Ne braska and Kansas with the idea of bettor preparing their product for market.
