tion to hold out against each oilier pre
vails. No compromise Is sui/ge ! ted and
no proposition for arbitration or mutual

party. Tlio situation In grave , and un
fortunately is likewise threatening. Tin
interest ! ) at stake nro tremendous , tint
law abiding citizens of all elapses view
the conditions with serious appre
hensions.
Tim BIB hopes for the good of the
city and the Interests involved
that wise counsels will prevail.
The dismission of the question at issue
must bo moderate in tone. .It does
no good to inlluonce the passions
of largo concourse * of people. To ill-
cite them to unlawful acts is a misdemeanor
meaner which the la\v will punish.
Men wrought up to a high pilch of
excitement by grievances real or fan
cied are not infrequently persuaded to
overstep the bounds of moderation and
to commit acts which in rolloetltig
moments they oincoroly rogrbt. Noth
ing has over been made In a labor strike
or controversy by resorting to violence ,
either to parson or property. It takes a
little time for men diametrically op
posed to each other in principles , habits
of life and Interest to come to a common
ground for argument or the settlement
of any dispute. When there Is also a
dilToronoo in the vernacular of the par-
tics tho'dilllculty of arriving nt an amicable -
cable adjustment of differences is greatly
increased.
Men under all circumstances should be
manly , which moans patient , deliberate ,
temperate and reasonable. Obstinacy
without reason and indifference to
the rights of others can never bring
two opposing opinions to a reciprocal
or concessive attitude. Speakers ,
strikers and employers , all have rights
which the law recognizes. Those who
assume the leadership of the men who
are now struggling for the enforcement
of the eight hour law have the right
freely to discuss the questions involved
but they must not Incite their hearers to
violence. This is a free country and
speakers and writers have the indefeasi
ble privilege of expressing their opin
ions without censorship or interfer
ence provided always that they
contribute nothing toward the
destruction of tlio property or
the rights of other citi/.ons. Strikers
have the right to abandon their shops
and refuse to return to work unless their
demands are acceded to , but they must
respect the persons and property of
those whom they regard as adverse to
them in opinion or purpose. Emuloyors
linvo the right to refuse the demands of
employes , and are entitled to the pro
tection ot the government in person and
property. Tliora must be no trespass of
either party upon the recognized rights
of tlio other.
The city of Omaha has interests
which must not bo overlooked. Tlio
present labor controversy is a very ex
pensive one to wage earners and the
business welfare of Omaha. It should
bo settled at an early day. Concessions
will bo required without doubt upon
both sides before tin amicable and satis
factory resumption of the relations which
should exist between employers and em
ployed can occur. Botli classes must
appreciate this fact and govern them
selves in c n-dingly. The city govern
ment will maintain order and protect
life and property. If the regular
police force is not sufHciont to quell
riots and prevent trespass upon prop
erty , special otllcors can bo appointed
and in case of extreme necessity the
militia will bo called to the assistance
of the regularly constituted ollicors. The
vvorkingjnon and their leaders by proper
direction of their efforts can muo : this
unnecessary. It would bo a deplorable
misfortune for Omaha to call upon the
militia and it will only bo done in case
of very great disorder. Lot the
men on both sides of tlio struggle beware -
ware of doing anything which shall dis
credit the local authorities or in any
Way make it appear necessary to resort
to violence for the preservation of good
order and the protection of life and pro
perty. After meetings are hold work-
inginen will bo wise to disperse. They
should above all else refrain from drink.
All persons directly or indirectly con
nected with the strike must keep their
lioads clear and control their
passions. Animosities exist and a very
little too much lire may end
In n conflagration disastrous to Omaha ,
the workingmen and the great industry
most directly alYoctod. Gentlemen on
both sides of the controversy restrain
your tempers , your tongues and your
luimls. Bo patient and let the danger
pass without inllicting any of its present
mil consequent ovlls upon people , prop
erty or municipality.

The result of the election in Kentucky
on Monday is interesting ehiolly for the
small pirt : which the people's party
[ ) lnycd and the fact that the next legis
lature , which will have the important
duty of revising the laws under the now
constitution of thn state , will probably
) o in control of the representatives of
the farmers. There wore four sets of
candidates In the Hold lemourati , re-
lublicans , people's party and prohibl-
rionlsts. The domourals elected their
candidates by about the usual majorities
ind the full returns will probably show
i republican loss. It is estimated that
, ho people's party polled only about
20,01)11 ) votes notwithstanding the great
efforts made to give It a position as a
jolitleal force. The state had boon
looded with sneakers advocating the
low movement and it was understood
hut Kentucky w.is the bittlo :
fround on which the rise or
nil of the people's party would
10 decided , It was expected that the
mrty would have the support of the
illiuneo , but it is evident that organl/.i-
Ion had very little interest in the new
arty und that its votes were given to
he democr.itic ticket. The desire of
ho alliance people , as the result shows ,
vas to capture the legislature , and it is
mibablo that a majority of that body
vill be favorable to ullUuico views as
o state 'affairs , but It Is to bo borne in
n 1ml that tlio farmers elected to
the ' .oglslaturo by votes of members of
the alliance are notto the losa domm'rtits.
On all national questions the fttrtnor
members of llio next Kentucky legisla
ture will bi > found squarely in line with
the democracy.
The fuel is there has boon no misun
derstanding between the democracy and
the alliance people In Kentucky , and
the dominont party 1ms simply made
Hitch terms aa it pleased. The
alliance vote wont utmost solid
for the democratic candidates for state
olllccs , nnd In return tlio democrats sup
ported alliance men who nro also demo
crats for llio legislature. A sop has
boon thrown to the farmers by the skill
ful democratic managers , but in reality
the entire state government will con
tinue in the control of the democracy ,
and the fear some lime ago expressed ,
that if the alliance should obtain
political control it would sot
Kentucky back n century , can
bo dismissed. As to the people's
party , it is practically dead so far as
Kentucky is concerned. It will proba
bly not bo heard of in that stale next
year. Is it likely to faro any bettor in
any other southern state ? All the indi
cations are that It will not. The falluro
of the vigorous effort that has been
made in Kentucky to divorce democrats
from their party allegiance in the Inter
est of Iho now movement will diminish
the chances of success of similar effort. "
in other states of the south. The result
in Kentucky conHi-ms the opinion that
the democratic party in that section has
nothing to fear from the alliance so far
us national affairs are concerned. That
organization in the south is as thor
oughly democratic as Tammany Is.

It is possible now to make an approxi
mate estimate of what the world's sup
ply of grain will bo from this year's
crop ? , and the Now York .S'mi presents
fiticli nn estimate that will bo of interest
to every grain grinder in the country.
According to this the wheat crop ol
Great Britain will bo from .8 to 10 per
cent below an average , and British im
ports for the next year will
probably roach 102,000,000 bushels
The wheat crop of Franco it is be
lieved will fall IS 1,000,000 bushels below
the average , and as the imports of that
country for ten years , have averaged
! U,000,000 bushels , the imports now re
quired would appear to bo 1G * > ,000,000
bushels. There is also a largo estima
ted dollcit in tlio rye crop. The proba
ble shortage of the Gorman crops is
( 'iven at 10,000,000 bushels of wheat and
So,000,000 bushels of rye , rendering
necessary the importation of , ' ! 0,000,000
bushels of the former and 7.5-
,000,000 bushels of the latter. The
yield in Austria-Hungary will bo con
siderably below the average , so that the
dual empire will at best have only
enough for its own homo necessities.
Italy will have to import 4-l,000,000 _
bushels , Spain 20,000,000 bushels'and
Belgium probably 40,000,000 buohols of
wheat and rye. Switzerland , Portugal ,
Holland and Scandinavia will all have
to import food grains. Accounts regard
ing the crops in Russia are de
plorable , nnd no grain can
bo exported from that coun
try without subjecting millions of her
own people to great privation , and
many of them perhaps to starvation.
The loss in winter and spring wheat is
estimated nt 100,000,000 bushels ,
which is 10,000,000 bushels moro
than the average qxports of the last
five years. What makes the situation
far worse is.tho fact r.lmt the rye crop
is not much moro than half the
average amount. The best estimate
for Russia is that her supply
of wheat and rye will not exceed
5oO,000,000 bushels , whereas 800,000,000
bushels are annually required for homo
consumption. Famine now prevails in
a number of provinces , and instead of
Russia being able to export any grain
this year it would seem that she would
bo compelled to import. India is said to
have the boat wheat crop for several
years nnd tlio exports are likely to bo
the largest for many years , and very
probably the largest over known. Asia
minor will also bo able to export unusual
quantities of wheat and barley. Persia ,
Australasia and South America will bo
able to pond very little if any wheat to
Europe. The surplus of wheat which the
United States will bo able to export is
estimated nl 150,000,000 bushels.
Making n conservative estimate of the
requirements to bo mot , and a liberal
one as to possible supplies , and treating
wheat and rye as one , it
is calculated that the coin-
trios whoso crops will bo short will bo
required to import 878,000,000 bushels ,
while those countries having a surplus
will be able to spare only 259,000,000
bushels , thus showing an apparent do-
licit in the world's supply of wheat and
rye of 010,000,000 bushels , and it is moro
likely to exceed than to fall below this
imount. The Sun concludes its inter
esting article on this very important
subject as follows :
Is not Kuropo face to face with a state of
want such as has never threatened so grout a
lopulutlon slnco the dawn of history ?
Has mail over witnessed starvation upon
the scale which Is prohablo as the result of
tilts continent-wldo destruction of nropsl
On all the earth thorn is but ouo nubitltuto
insslhlo for the dollflDiit rye nnit wheat ; lint
one moans of provontiiiR even In part , the
lovnstation threatened , and that Is by the
use of American mal/o , should wo uo so fortunate -
tunato as to harvest a full crop.
If there uro Hblp * enough on the sea to
ransport.lt , 13urapa will take not only the
5U,000oiO ; biishols of who.it which wo may
squeeze out , but luuuireds of millions also of
ourcorn. The distaste for such fooil will dls-
ippoar III the presence of famine ; und wo may
L-omtmiml any price for our products that wo
mvo iho heart to exact.
In the light of this showing the grain
growers of America have an outlook of
unprecedented prosperity without hav-
ng to resort to any sort of combination
or "cornering" the markets.

the next governor of Iowa , favored TUB
BBB with A cftif yesterday. The farmer
candidate i confident the republicans
will win in November and gives good
reasons for the faith that is in him. The
personal attacks made upon hio llnati-
clal credit have no weight with people
who have known him a great many
years us a successful farmer. Mr.

keen oyus and the general air of n suc
cessful man and enterprising citizen ,
lie has the cordial support of n harmon

ing the people.
MAYOR GUSHING has made a mistake
In issuing his proclamation this morn
ing. The time had not yet arrived for
the city government to proclaim the
strikers. There has been no disposition
on their part to injure the persons ot
property of the smelting people. The
proclamation Is nn Invitation to trouble
which TIIK BBB hopes the working mon
will not allow to Inllucnco them. It
will be far wiser to obey the mayor's
directions than to force a conflict. Nov-
ertholobs the mayor has acted unwisely.
WilILK it is not at till probable that
the smelting works will bo removed
either to Denver or Council Bluffs be
cause of the value of the plant in this
city , the statements of Messrs. Barton
and Nash indicate that they will shut
down the works for a period. TUB BBB
regrets the fact that there appears to bo
no disposition on their part to meet the
working people half way. They nro in
our judgment milking a blunder which
seriously affects the welfare of Omaha.
Sui'i'DSB William A. Poyntor should
take it into his bend to assume the reins
of government. Nothing very serious
would happen on that account. It would
bo a trilling sensation hardly worth a
column in the newspapers. Loss than
two days would bring the governor homo
and order would be restored. The fake
is merely a pusillanimous effort on the
part of an alleged newspaper to annoy
Governor Timber "and if possible frighten
him into an early return.

WHBN Mr. Pitzpatrick had formally
accepted the office of superintendent of
schools for one year what business sense
was there in ordering a contract made
with him for two years. The now super
intendent is a very much abler ,
shrewder man than the ten individuals
in the board of education who voted him
his place for two years.
TUB result of the discussion over the
Kollom school matter boiled down to its
dregs is simply that somebody very
carelessly drew up n contract and the
architects have the best of the board of
education. If that body will now quit
its political wirepulling ; and devote its
attention to business it may yet retrieve
a very bad reputation.
TUB harranguors who misrepresent
TUB BBB in speeches at labor meetings
are entitled to all the enjoyment they extract -
tract from the effort. The fact.romains in
tact that every loyal citizen of Omaha
looks to TUB BBB as the champion of
the best. interests , of tno city at all
times and under all circumstances.
TUB BBB is of the opinion that the
present labor difficulties might have
boon prevented by judicious conferences
between employers and employes after
the passage of the act and before the
dale of Us taking effect. It is nearly
four months since Governor Boyd signed
the eight hour law.

LINCOLN , Neb. , Aug. I. [ Special to TUB
URI : . ] Senator I'ovntor of Doone county ,
the independent president pro torn of the No-
brnslta senate , came to Lincoln yesterday on
private business , and after settling dowii for
the oViShliig was surprised with the state
ment that there was a poislhlllty ot his hav
ing an opportunity to act as governor by
reason of the aluenco of Governor 'I hayer
and Lieutenant Governor Majors from the
state. ItonwnitothU morning to llnd him
self governor by gwo of the . ay-so of an In
genious correspondent , nml about 10 o'clock
ho went up to the state house to view the
promised land. Ho found Secretary Thnyor ,
Clerk Smith nml Messenger Tom Cook run
ning the executive department , and alter
cracking a few Jokes about his exultation tlio
smiling farmer-senator departed , not having
remained long enough to tnho olT hU hat or
warm the gubernatorial chair. Mr. 1'oyntor
loft tlio city this afternoon and paid his hotel
bill before going.
Lieutenant Governor Majors was nt
the state house last Friday by request
of the governor , who explained his
contompl'.itcd absence and nslted the
statesman of the hickory shirt to lilt his place
In the executive department. The lieutenant
governor promised to do so , hut said he would
not come to Lincoln until the middle of the
week unless ho was .specially needed , in which
case ho could he called by a telegram sent to
Pom. There has been nothing In the t'ovor-
nor's oflleo yesterday or today bu t routine
nITairs which the clerks are ahlo to talto nare
of , and the meditations of the lieutenant gov
ernor over his bountiful crops have not been
disturbed b.v n call to duty.

What will thn salary bo and when will it

nro disturbing the serenity of S. S. Hlnnch-
nrd , chief gram inspector. His pay is to bu
llxcd by the state board of transportation ,
but that body apparently has given the now
law no attention. The secretaries of the
board , who are no whore recognized In the
net , have gone ahead to intetprot it nnd give
it olTect. They cr.iod ; the meeting of grain
men and no memhor of the hoant
was present. Those secretaries have gotten
up a sot of rules nnd iim-ucd on n system of
grading , but the board has called no mooting
to adopt or oven consider them.
The secretaries bnve inquiries about the
license fee for public warehouses , but the
hoard has not lixed It. It , is asserted that
warehouses for storaco of stoves , furniture ,
etc. , must tauo out a license , but the bonnl
has not passed on that point. There nro
many otbor disputed points , but about the
only thing the board ot Itself has done waste
to issue an order to prevent the secretaries
from malting a Junket to Chicago and St.

The king of Greece , who is enjoying the

or his people the other evening with his
suite on the torrnco of the Circle do I1 Aix.
This king sat with his hat on , whllo the rest
of the diners obsequiously uncovered.
With one exception : A mnn from Omaha
nlho kept on his hat , which is said to have
caused considerable amusement , particularly
to some ladies at an adjoining tnblo , who
douhtless thought tbo kimr of Greece im
mensely moro important than the man from
Omaha.
But tuny wore much mistaken , i'ho man
from Omaha was n born American sovornign.
The man parading nt n foreign wntorlng
place on other people's money , ns "King of
Greece , " is not even a Groult. When lie was
n boy of eighteen ho was Imported from Denmark -
mark to rule over the Greeks. In duo time
ho married a Russian wife , nml from this
mixture future kings of Greece will hu fur
nished , so long us the idiotic luxury of kinirs
is indulged in ,
These mbdorn Greeks must ho degenerate
descendants cf the old liberty-loving heroes ,
if they were forced to hunt lip a Danish bo >
to put at the head of their government , anil
could net find among themselves n man lit
for such .service. If tno imported brood runs
out. nnd there is search abroad for another
sovereign , the Greeks would do well to Im
port u man from Omaha.
