Tun Washington correspondent of the

Chicago will have to hustle for tlio re
publican national convention or it will
go elsewhere. "Elsowhoro" means
Omaha ,
OMAHA'S delegation to the national
encampment of the Grand Army of the

favor of Lincoln for the national encamp

Lincoln in this contest.
AUCHIUSIIOP IitKfjAND is said to bo

7MB liKTIItr.MKNT OK QUAY.
Senator Quay's withdrawal from the
national republican commlttoo will
probably olid a discussion In which ho
ims been the central fltrurc. It will
satisfy republicans very generally , and
It Is hardly to bo doubted will bo a good
thing for the party. The sorvlco which
Mr , Quay rendered In the last campaign
can bo duly ncknowleduod , whllo at the
same tlmo It Is said that ho hud
since become a weight on the party
which It was very dcslrablo
and nccof-asiry to have removed. The
record of Mr. Quay In public llfo is ono
which needs to bo defended , and un
fortunately for him his own effort at
defense was far from being successful.
In addition to this his most recent
manipulation of the > -epubllcan nmchlno
In Pennsylvania , In the Interest of a
man who hns slnco been shown to have
been guilty of grave and perlmps criminal
business irregularities , was most discred
itable. His character and cout-ho brought
defeat to his party in his own state , and
had ho remained at the head of the na
tional committee it is unquestionable
that the party at largo would have boon
moro or less damaged. Tbo fact of hav
ing In such a position of authority a man
with so vulnerable a record , who is op-
po cd by thousands of the most steadfast
and reputable republicans of his own
state , would have been a detriment to
the party which all the political skill
and ingenuity and daring possessed by
Mr. Quay could not have counteracted.
The resolution adopted by the execu
tive committee in accepting the resig
nation of Mr. Quay expresses tbo feel
ing general among republicans regard
ing lib services in the last presidential
campaign. Ho managed that contest
with skill and ability of the very high
est order , and nobody will refuse -
fuse to glvo him the fullest
credit for the great work ho did.
Ho demonstrated then that in po
litical generalship he had no superior ,
and it is perhaps not too much to say
that no campaign in the history of the
country was conducted moro wisely and
judiciously for the success of the repub
lican party. Mr. ijuay received at 1110
time his share of tbo honor , and there is
no disposition now to deny his just claim
to it. But this cannot fairly bo hold to
have atoned for a previous indefensible
public record , nor to miti
gate tbo discredit of subsequent
action which the republicans of Penn
sylvania condemned by electing a demo
cratic governor. The truth is that had
the record of Mr , Quay boon known in
18SS as it is now the republican national
convention would not have made him
chairman of tlio national committee. It
has been reported that Mr. Quay in
tends to resign his scat in the United
States senate for the reason that the
st.itoof his health requires him to seek
absolute rest. It is not improbable
that ho will do this , for even wore ho in
perfect health ho could hardly Iind any
further gratification in public lifo. It
is also said that in any event Mr. Quay
will have a knife ready for President
Harrison next year , but while it is
doubtless a fact that ho has no love for
the president it is not probable that ho
could do him any great harm. As a dis
credited loader Matthew S. Quay will
bo able to exert very little influence In
the next republican national convention.
It may bo pertinent in this connection
to say lint there hns never h-'on a time
fn the history of the republican party
wlion tnoro was greater necessity than
now for solectinc as political managers
men not only of superior ability but with
records absolutely above reproach. The
tendency is to look more elo ely into the
public and personal character of politi
cal loaders , and no amount of skill and
shrewdness in polltio.il management
will make up for the want
of an established and unim
peachable character for honesty and
principle. The republican party cannot
safely put any man in control of its cam
paign next year who cannot show such a
character , however capable ho may bo
for political organization , ingenious in
expedients and prolific in resources. It
may not bo an easy matter to secure the
right man , but the republican party is
rich in men having the necessary character -
actor and qualifications to command
confidence and judiciously manage a
campaign. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ,
TIIK Hxro7m or GOLD.
According to an olllcial statement just
made the exports of gold during the last
fiscal year wore In round numbers $ Si- (
000,000 and the imports 518,000,000 , the
excess of gold export being the largest
in any year of this country's commerce.
There was a very heavy drain of gold
during the last months of the fiscal
year , and while the outflow during the
present month has not been largo , gold
continues to leave the country. It was
not dlllicult to find an ox-
planatton of the largo spring exporta
tion. Tboro had boon nn exceptionally
heavy importation of European mer
chandise that had to bo paid for and the
sellers wanted gold. Then there was a
concerted movement on the part of the
European banks to strengthen thorn-
solves with respect to gold. Fiscal
alTnlrs abroad had boon greatly dis
turbed by the failure of the Barings ,
and the discovery incident to that event
Unit the English banks hold very small
reserves. There was widespread appre
hension and Europe turned to the
United States for relief. At the same
tlino Kussla called In her great depos
its , ostlmnted as high as $100,000,000.
Hero was a mo&t unusual condition of
affairs which no other nation but the
United States was capable of relieving ,
and in order to do so this country had to
Bond to Europe $00,000,000 in gold within
the period of a few months. It appears
that while heretofore hnmonso amounts
ot American securities have been sent
to Europe and mnrkotod there , and such
securities have also served as collateral
to largo loans made by bankers and
others , thus serving to even up any bal
ances of trade made against us , there Is
now a cessation of eucn shipment of se
curities and a calling in of suoh loans ,
which now have to ho made in our own
market. The great lido of American
travel in Europu It ) anotbor cause
for the transfer of a largo
amount of gold , and it Is by
no moans improbable that uneasiness
regarding future silver legislation may
have had some hearing upon the recent
gold exportation ,
An a matter of fact gold is worth moro
in Etiropo , as a medium of exchange ,
than it Is horo. In the United States a
given stun in gold is of no greater com
mercial value than an equal sum In sil
ver , but this is not the case In Europe.
When this la understood there can bo no
wonder that gold loaves this country ,
and the fact Is one which should not ho
lost sight of In connection with the ques
tion of the frou and unlimited coinage of
silver.
The loss of so largo an runount of gold
as $00,000.000 in so short a time naturally
had a depressingelTcct , notwithstnndlntf
the resonablo assurance that It would
return as soon as the exports of the now
crop had begun. Undoubtedly a largo
, part of it will como bade , but It
is not altogether certain that the
whole of it will bo rolurned. However ,
the financial situation abroad Is im
proving , and. this is favorable to Im
provement hero. Iltihsla is sending back
to England a part of the gold she so re
cently drew from there , nnd money Is
reported easier in London. The iood
olTcctsof this will .speedily bo foil In
Now York and extend throughout the
country. Having passed through the
heavy gold drain without any .serious
disturbance there Is every reason to ex
pect that the remaining months of the
year will witness a steady financial and
business improvement.
THK
John Wanamakor , postmaster general ,
has been subjected to a great deal of
partisan abuse since ho entered Presi
dent Harrison's cabinet. His personal
character has been viciously attacked
by every democratic newspaper in the
union. His well known reputation for
effective religious woric has brought
upon his bond the mosl contemptible
assaults. Nevertheless ho has gene on
in his own business-like way improving
tlio postal service , working longer
hours than any other cabinet olllcor and
really doing moro for the immediate
benefit of the people at 1-irgo than any
other man in the cabinet. It is admitted
by the very men who have most violently
lently assailed him that ho has cut the
red tape of postal affairs and introduced
tbo methods of the successful business
man in his department. His personal
character is assailed for the very reason
that no jrround can bo found upon which
to attack his administration.
Omaha has been especially bonofitted
by those characteristics of the keon-
sighted business man in an important
political executive nosition. Ho has in-
'ormod himself of our necessities by a
personal inspection of the conditions
hero. Although there wore but four
now carriers added to the overworked
force in the preceding four years , since
Postmaster Clarkson entered upon his
duties , less than seven months ago ,
sovcn now clerks and 10 now carriers
have boon allowed. Not only so , but the
grade of the ollico has boon raised to
first class , which gives our letter car
riers the uniform salary of $1,000 per
annum. The facilities for handling the
immense malls have been increased and
moro room is soon to bo provided for
the postolllco. The added annual ex
pense of the office by reason of improve
ments is $21,000. Mr. Wanamakor
recognizes not alone the importance of
the city and its necessities , but the olli-
cioncy of our postmaster as woll. Omaha
should and does appreciate the post
master general.
NOIJODY is satisfied with the coat-of-
arms design chosen by the council. The
matter of selection was loft to a man
who has no tnoro arustio taste than Tom
Murray. The design is symbolical of
nothing in which Omaha can take pride ,
though very elaborate and comprehen
sive in the field it attempts to cover. It
includes too much. The city should se
lect a design which will attract atten
tion because of it ? artistic beauty and
simplicity. The council is not made up
of artists and should refer the selection
of Omaha's seal to a committee of. oiti-
/.one composed of the directors of the
Omaha library ono or tnoro of the best
known lady artists and lion. George W.
Liningor. Lot the council reconsider.
OMAHA alone presented horoolf as a
candidate for national convention hon
ors. Neither Chicago nor Minneapolis
wo'-o represented. Score the second
great point for Omaha , The first was
made at Cedar Rapids , la. , loss than a
month ago. With persistent , intelligent
attention to business , Omaha can secure
the convention.

nnd attempt , that feat tncy will undoubtedly
learn the same lesson In the costly hchool of
experience. The professional speculators
have maun their mUtnUo in assuming that
the people of Europe are dependent upon this
that they will have a certain quantity of
wheat , no matter what it may cost. Their
experience ) lias taught them that this is n
mistake.
St. Louis Hepublle : Ills reasonably cer
tain , however , that if enough wheat is hold
back to put up prices , most of it is likely to
bo sold very cheap when It Is throuu on the
market. If half a million farmers could bo
induced to hold back their wheat us long as
they could , It might put up prices , but when
they could hold it no longer it would bo
"dumped" on the market instead of distri
buted gradually and regularly under the laws
of supply and demand. Dumping it would
demoralize the market , nnd whore ono farmer
gained by holding back a do on would lo-o
when the time came to let go. In speculation
"what goes up must como down. " That Is
the law of the market. Wherever prices are
artificially forced up the reaction carries
them as much below the natural level as they
were above It.

Lixcoi.v , Nob. , July HO , [ Special to THE
HISK. ] The warehouse act which pees Into
effect .Saturday Is still something of a
conumdrum to these charged with its execu
tion. The socrotnrlps of the board of trans
portation have prepared a sot of rules , but
are holding them In reserve for consultation
with the chief Inspector to bo appointed oy

the law contemplate ono chief Inspector for
the whole s tate , or ono for oicli city or
county containing an elevator coming under
the provisions of the statutol The law
reads :
It shall bo the duty of the governor to up-
point , liy and with the mlvlco nnd consent of

Governor Thayer was reported to bo of the
opinion that the law contemplated moro
than ono chief inspector , ana It Is understood
that he had selected an appointee for Omaha
nnd nnnthor for l.tnrnln.Vlinn nslrnil InHnv
for his opinion the governor said thnt he was
undecided as to the proper interpretation of
thn net , nnd ho loft the Impression upon the
Interviewer thnt ho was about to tnl < o
counsel on the controversy. The secretaries
oi the board of transportation hold that the
law should bo interpreted as calling for ono
chief inspector who shall have an ollico In
each city with a warehouse coming under
the operation of the act.
They base this largely upon the fact that
In other Mates there Is but ono chief Inspec
tor nnd that the Nebraska law Is but a modi
fication of the Illinois statute.
The secretaries invite attention to the fact
that nil public warehouses except those for
the Btorngo of grain , como under the action
of the law at once upon its taking olToct , nnd
must secure licenses from the state board for
doing business. This would apply to ware
houses for the storage of furniture , stoves ,
etc.
OUT ONPAIIOI.B. .
The board of public lands nnd buildings
this morning received n petition for the re
lease of John R Doughton from the reform
school. The boy Is under sixteen years of

stitution to remain until twenty-oca , unless
sooner reformed or discharged. The petition
is signed by the following prominent Oma-
hans : Lee Hclsloy , T. J. Alahouey , T. C.
Havens , Charles F. Shaw , John
Webster , Charles Itosewnter , Thomas
C. Bralnard , A. P. Nicholas
J. C. Corvin , John M. Thurston , Frank R.
Moores and James E. Boyd. Among other
things they state : "Your petitioners nro
personally acquainted with the mother of
said John E. Boughton , who Is n widow and
largely dependent upon the labor of her said
son for support.Vo are also acquainted
with the said John E. Boughton and believe
that the lesson which has been administered
to him thus far will bo sufficient to bring
about his complete reformation. "
The petitioners asked for the release of
young Boughton on parole , said parole tote
to continue dnrine good behavior.
The boy's mother , loaning upon n
crutch , ani O. J. Dougherty of
Omaha appeared before the boarl to plead
his cause. The parole was granted on the
following conditions. For a tonn of four
months young Boughton must report ovury
week to the superintendent of the ICoarnoy
school , Riving his whereabouts and employ
ment. If ho fails to send the weekly report
his parole will bo forfeited.
VKUDICT IIV SATtntllAT.
Expert Loavitt promises his report on the

State Treasurer Hill will return tomorrow.
Attorney General Hastings has prepared the
findings of the board , except such facts us
may bo brought out by the export's Investi
gation , which will ho added as soon us re
ported. It is probable , therefore , that the
stnta board will finally close the investigation
bv Saturday. Their report will bo unanimous.

proper conduct nnd with neglecting uatlonts.
