EVIDKNTIA- democratic platform
of Ohio wag drafted by Governor Camp-
boll's enemies and forced down the
throats of his friends. This explains in
part why the governor refuses to plant
both his foot squarely upon it. Ho fours
ho may lame himself by breaking

Tin : Grand Army of the Republic
refused to draw tlio color lino. The old
boldlors are consistent. They cheerfully
fought aide by side with blacks on some
of the bloodiest battlefields of the union.
Their fraternity , charity and loyalty is
too broad to rucognix.o any distinc.t'on of
color , birth or previous condition among
comrades.
KANSAS grain crops are believed to
bo worth $100.000,000 ; those of Iowa
8150,000,000 ; those of Nebraska SOo.OOO-
000. These three states will sell S.'iOO-
000.000 worth of products of the farm
und rnngo this year. Instead of borrow
ing money from the national treasury on
their own terms , the farmers of these
states will bo ready to accommodate
Uncle Sam for a few millions without inconvenience -
convenience to themselves.
THK iconoclasm of the ago , not con
tent with dostrying the stories of Pocahontas -
hontas and .Tolin Smith , William Toll
and his apple shooting , George Wash
ington and his cherry tree , Barbara
lYoitschio und tlio ( lag at Frederick , is
now striving to provo that Abraham
I-lncon never was a rail-splitter. If this
thing keeps on wo shall have nothing
loft of patriotic , poetical sentiment in
this country or any other.
HON. II. C. WIIHIOUCU is not a poor
farmer overloaded with debt , na the
democrats sought to provo , but a very
wealthy ono , with nmnlo funds for cur
rying on an immense business in Import
ing and breeding line stock. Ho will
now bo hold up as a bloated bondholder
und aristocrat bocnuso ho has shown by
practical experience that good farming
and intelligent attention to stoolc grow
ing are immensely profitable in Iowa ,
EN * ho completes his present term
in the Bonato .lohn Sherman can look
back over thirty-eight yonrs of continu
ous public life and u public career of
uninterrupted usefulness for which the
history of the union affords no parallel.
'
Ho is part and parcel of the A'morlcun
nation and Immortality belongs to him
in a degree which the presidency could
not make moro ofuigont. So long us
hound principles of government control
this nation PO long will John Sherman's
plain but substantial uiuno bo honored.
Dii. Br.AND , the "friend of the In
dian , " the Hollamist nnd all-round
rrank of the national capital , has not
Miccoodcd in making a national Issue of
Ills recent unpleasant experience at
Krmobml agency. There may bo a few
warm hearted philanthropists in the
elToto east sorry for his misfortunes , but
out west the doctor bus neither followers
nor advocates. Ho Is tin American citl-
v.on , very much against his will , und
wholly tit vui'lanco with the stern facts
nf the ago. Ho is a nightmare to the In
dian committees of both houses of con
gress nnd nn intolerable bore to the
interior department nnd Indian bureau.
Ho is never invited to the Mohawk In
dian conference , or the national moot
ing of the Indian Rights association.
IIo is unhappily unwelcome almost
every where , und especially in the Sioux
country. This is nil there IH about the
doctor In which the country takes nny
interest. lie is , however , perfectly
h rmlosa though very vindictive.
T/fK MIKSKXT SfTfMT/O.V.
Although dlBiifltroug consequences
huvo already tittondcd the Ill-advised
strllto or lockout nt the smelting works
nnd the Ions important controversies' bo-
twcon employers and employed , thus far
no doflnilo stops Imvo been taken to ad
just the dllToroncns between the partlcs
directly concerned. The Interests of the
city are suffering from the blow inflicted
by the unhappy complications of the past
week. It will bo many months before the
retail business of Omaha can recover
from the bad effects of the struggle. A
more unfortunate occasion for the labor
troubles could liurdly huvo boon selected.
The depression in all lines of trade has
been painfully felt all over Omaha and
tho- strike has paraly/od the revival
which hopeful conditions mudu probable.
It Is announced that the labor organi
zations will make a test case
and try the potency of tlio eight-hour
law. This is proper und in. accord with
the suggestion of TIIK HIH. It Is the
only ray of hope which has thus far pon-
eti-ated thu general gloom of the situa
tion. By agreement the case can bo
brought to a speedy hearing before
Judge Wakoloy or ono of the other dis
trict judged , and a basis for further ne
gotiations between omplo.var.-t and em
ployes bo established pending the
final adjudication in tlio supreme
court of the state. This is a. very im
portant matter for both sides and it is
now tmt ! > they got together upon this
proposition at lo.ist if no other. Omaha
cannot allord to have every business in
terest paraly/cd by two obstinate fac
tions among her citixona both of whom
are both right and wrong and who
might bo brought together if both wore
disposed to bo reasonable.
Unfortunately for the hopes of an
early and fair adjustment of all dilTor-
encos the .striking employes are being
misled by n few self constituted loaders
who are either arrant demagogues or
rattle-brained blatherskites. With two
exceptions none of the spo.ikots who
nightly and daily harranguo the crowds
are in any proper sense of the term
workingrnon. They are professional
agitators who have not earned u dollar
ut manual labor for years. They live by
their wits and several of thorn are sup
ported from funds contributed to the
cause of the laboring men. So long as
the honest working-men of Omaha will
listen to blatant demagogues like
Isaac S. Hascall and hood the an
archistic throats of n blatherskite
like John Quinn , just so long will they
stand out against concessions , common
sense nd a possibility of settlement.
If these men und others like them
whom the agitation gives temporary
notoriety are spewed out by the honest
laboring men. it will bo no dlftlcult tuslc
for responsible business men in Omaha
to bring about a truco. So long
as they are the recognized spokesmen of
the strikers , so long must self-respecting
mon refrain from negotiations on
behalf of either party to the ques
tions ut issue and absent them
selves from the advertised meetings
of the laboring men. Tlioro are men in
the ranks of the strikers who deserve
and have the respect of the community
and when they got to the front there
will bo some hope for a mutual agree
ment which shall preserve the rights of
all parties until the sanio shaU bo
legally defined.
CUllAX ItllU
There has been some effort to belittle
the benefits which the farmers and man
ufacturers of the United States will
secure from the reciprocity arrangement
with Spain applicable to the trade with
Cuba , but u liltlo study of the schedules
will satisfy all practical people that the
advantages which this country will ob
tain are of u very substantial character.
In order to fully appreciate , this it must
bo berne in mind that the
market henceforth free to our
farmers and manufacturers will
bo practically shut by heavy duties to
their competitors. Wo have boon exporting -
porting to Cuba about two million dollars
lars worth of wheat Hour annually , while
Spain , which is not n wheat-growing
country , ponds thereabout half as much.
The reason for this is that the Cuban
duty on American Hour is $1.09 a barrel.
Under the now arrangement the duty
will bo only ono dollar a barrel , and the
United States should Do able to tit least
double its exports of Hour to Cuba. Quito
one-third of our exports to that island
consists of provisions , very little being
received there from other countries , but
owing to the high duties the poonlo have
boon compelled to practice rigid econ
omy. The now arrangement puts salt
meals and lard on the free list , and
duties retained on provisions will bo
from one-third to one-half loss than at
present. These moro favorable condi
tions will undoubtedly largely increase -
crease the Cuban consumption
of provisions , so that wo may
reasonably expect to double our exports
in this lino. In manufactures , our chief
exports to Cuba are of iron and stcol ,
and those have boon steadily increasing
notwithstanding the vigorous English
competition. The duties now imposed
are heavy and these will remain in foreo
( mother year , but after July I , 1802 ,
some articles will go on the free list and
the duties on others will bo largely re
duced , insuring this country the Cuban
market against all competition. Tlio
United States has for gen
erations supplied the Spanish West
Indies with lumber and manufactures of
wood , but owing to the heavy duties
this trade has boon steadily declining ,
HO that it la now hardly moro than ono-
tlnrd what it was sixteen or eighteen
years ago. After July of next year all
these articles will bo admitted free , and
it is not to bo doubted that our ex
port of them will grow from
$2,000,000 annually to throe or
four times that amount. Largo
rodtiotloiis of duty will also
bo made on glassware and stonawnro. on
the munufaoturos of copper , bron/.o ,
brass , niclcol and their alloys , and on
rubber and gutta porchu. A reduction
of 2o par cent will bo nuido in the duties
on spun or twlutod cotton , cotton goods
and all- mixed goods in which cotton
forms at least an equal component part.
This schedule embraces , also , boots and
shoes , loathar of all kinds , p.lpor of all
kinds , carriages , ropes , uordugo and
twine. It is u comprehensive
arrangement , und the more carefully
Its details are examined the moroi'loarly
will it appear Unit u gro.it d vil has
baun gained for the American pro
ducer , while at thu sumo tltno thu inter
ests nnd welfare of the Cuban people
will ho subserved. The bonollts will bo
mutual , and so fur as Ctlbi Is concerned
they ought to result In opening an epoch
of development and progress for that
Island. Whatever the opponents of the
administration nriy soy , this reciprocity
arrangement will stand us one of the
most signal nnd vuluablo triumphs of
American diplomacy.
A dispatch : from Shormin county ,
Nebraska , a few days ago stated that
the farmers thorn were in high spirits ,
and that land values hud taken n sudden -
don advance. The yield of crops in that
county this year will bo moro than double -
blo the amount of any previous year ,
and the intelligent , farmers have reason
ably concluded that they have been val
uing their land at too low u figure. Ac
cordingly the prolific acrcsiof Sherman
county now represent u larger capital
than before the splendid crops wore
grown.
The fact is commended to the atten
tion of the farmers of the other pro
ductive portions of Nobrasku. It is un
doubtedly true that the Improved lands
of this state tire generally hold tit too
low a valuation. The firming lands of
Nebraska are uns'irpassod In fertility.
They can never bo exhausted or worn
out. There Is no good reason why they
should rate in value below the lands
of Iowa , Minnesota and some
other states with which compar
ison may properly bo tnudo ,
but they do. The estimated actual val
uation for Nebraska is about sixteen
hundred million dollars , and It is not
questionable that this fs below the real
wealth of the slate In landed property.
Our farmers very generally have been
underestimating tholr possessions , and
ono of the benefits of this year's great
crop will doubtless be to advance the
valuation of productive farm lands
everywhere in tlio state. There is cer
tainly no good reason why this .should
not bo done , but on the contrary all the
conditions warrant it.
Till ! PKOl'ItK'S /.t/fTl'/.Y / OHIO.
Interest in the Ohio campaign is some
what augmented by the notion of a con
vention of representatives of the pee
ple's party in placing a full state ticket
in the Hold. Tlioro had boon some doubt
us to. whether this movement would attain -
tain sullloiont strength in Ohio thlsyear
to nominate candidates , the general im
pression being that the supporters of
the departure would bo satilied for
the present with proclaiming their
views and counseling adherents how
to vote. But the convention was respectable -
spoctablo in numbers for u new party
and it wont through the full course of
business common to such bodies. The
jxjople's party thus demands and will receive -
coivo attention as u fuctor in the Ohio
contest.
None of the candidates of the now
party has had any prominence in the
politics of the Buckeye state , and it is
probable that mo-it of them have
never had much to do with
politics. This fact does not neces
sarily discredit them. They maybe
bo very worthy men notwithstanding
their lack of political experience , but anew
now party is at a good deal of a disad
vantage without leaders who have some
'knowledge of the ways of politics , and
especially so in a hot camuaign such as
will bo carried on in Ohio this yoar. As
to the platform , its contra ! idea is of
coutso more monoy. That is the cardi
nal principal of the so-called people's
par.ty and its only excuse for being.
The mon who are promoting
It think that the sovereign remedy
for nil economic and social ills is moro
money , to bo issued from the national
troasurv "in sufllclent volume to con
duct the business of the country on a
cash basis. " They do not pretend to
nay how much .nonoy weald bo needed
for this purpose , nor do they concern
themselves about any possible olfoct
upon the character of the currency
which might result from the adoption of
their policy. The circulation now
amounts to about 81,500,000,000 , and this
serves for payments to tlio extent of only
about 8 per cent of the business of the
country. Ninety-two per cent ot all pay
ments are made in checks , drafts and
other commercial uoviees. To do away
with the latter and supply their place
with currency , if it were practicable to
do so , would simply destroy the value of
the currency. It would require a bushel
of dollar bills to buy a bushel of potatoes ,
provided the producer of potatoes would
exchange thorn at at all for such cur
rency. Yet this is what the" demand of
the people's party means.
It is hardly probable that tlio now
party will make any serious inroads
upon the vote of either of the old par-
tie ? in Ohio , but its course will bo
watched with some interest.
UNKOUTUNATKLY for us all the smelt
ing business is not indigenous to Omaha
soil. Naturally smelting works are ex
pected in mining Instead of agricul
tural communities. It is this fact which
gives color to the demand of the Denver
stockholders for a removal of the
Omaha plant to that city. On the other
hand the altitude of Denver is u tt'illo
against some of the | > roeo.-HO.i of refining
and that of Omaha is in favor of them.
There Is just enough of uncertainty
about the relative merits of the two lo
cations to make people inturostod in
Omaha nervous as to the ultimate out
come of the shut down of the works
hero.

Bouii : ) down the long report of the
board of public lands and buildings upon

funds so obtained.I. . The business
methods ol the management of the
iwylittn are roprohonslbly careless und

have boon yutlrely disregarded In the
purchasing of drugs and supplies nnd
the ovldont design was to work Into the
hands of contractors. 0. Tlio patient ,
Xlogler , loat his life because of the gross
carelessness and negligence of olllcors
and employes of the institution. In
other words the board finds the gentle
men named guilty upon every material
count of THK Dun's indictment against
them.
THK board of health has no rules but
it has an , existence , and Is composed of
the mayor , two members of the city
council , the sanitary commlslonor and
the commissioner of health. These gen
tlemen tire expected to take some action
in the Knoll casO. For shocking barbar
ity und IndilToronco to the common sentiments -
timents of humanity , If the storio.s of
neighbors are to bo i-olicd upon , It has
no parallel In the city of Omaha. The
board must investigate the case and re
port the actual facts. If the allegations
agiiinut public olllcors bo correct they
should bo censured if not impeached.
The fair niiino of public charity is sctin-
dalixcd by such charges of brutality us
are prefered. Give the two warring
doctors , the poor commissioner und the
hired utidortador the opportunity to
vindicate themselves.
Dlt. Cr.AHK GAPIN states that ho not
only attended the children of Mrs. Knoll
but contributed to her wants from his
private purse. Dr. Gapon's word is
good in this community and ought to bo
accepted , but it does not explain all the
scandalous circumstances related by the
neighbors of the woman whoso child is
said to have been PO shockingly treated
by the undertaker. Lot the doctor de
mand an investigation and use this case
to bring about a proper adjustment of
tlio relations ho is supposed to sustain to
the pauper sick of the community and
the health of the city in general.
A MAN calling himself "Colonel" Sav-
idgo and posing as a farmer says the
farmers propose to kick on the twelve
and fifteen hour day and vote themselves
an eight hour ono in the next legisla
ture. Inasmuch as all the working far
mers are now , rising at daylight and
working till dark stacking grain and
plowing corn , the "colonel's" proposi
tion was not gainsaid. When the thrifty
farmer gets ready lo accept an eight
hour day it will be safe lo put on wings
for the millenium.
OMAHA people will cheerfully vote
bonds for jarks. ) provided always the
parks are somewhere within roach of
the population. They are not in favor
of expending 8oOO,000 or half that sum
out in the heart of Douglas county for
parks. The park commissioners will
satisfy their constituents better by the
the purchase of several squares near the
center of the city than by opening up
whole townships to carriage travel outside -
side the corporate limits.
TESTIMONY in the Kast Omaha cnso is

Council Bluffs will find out whether

pendent and indifferent attitude. What

TIIK city council and board of county
commissioners cannot- escape blame on
account of the scandalous treatment of
the remains of a child in the Knoll
family. They are also primarily re
sponsible for the present contention
between the city and county physicians
as to the extent of their respective
duties.

If republican Institutions were not firmly
planted In Franco , tbcro ts no doubt that the
czar would eagerly form with Its government
n combination counter to the triple alliance ,
lint In fighting with republican coadjutors
ncnhut the three central monarchies Alex
ander III. might he playing fora higher stake
than Constantinople. It is possible that his
throne might bo at risk ; and , curiously
onouirli , the .slnbllltyof the house of Romanoff
might bo more imperilled by victory In such
n contest than by defeat. If the French ar
mies , uUed by n Russian demonstration on
Germany's eastern frontier , should bo ovot-
whclmlngly successful , It is probable that
n wave of democratic Ideas would swoop
over Europe such ns that which fol
lowed the military triumphs ot tbo
llrst French republic. Not only Oennai-y
und Italy , but all sections of the Austro-
Ilungarlnn empire are much more ripe for
the reception of republican principles than
they were In the closing years of the last
century. Should the French republic , Hushed
with victory , enter on nn nrmod propaganda ,
what assurance has the Russian autocrat
that It would stop short at the Vistula ! In
the general crash of thrones , his own might
topple , and It would bo cold comfort to rec
ognize that Its foundations had been shaken
by his own short-sighted policy. Such u pos
sible outcome of the overthrow of the triple
alliance is , of course , a subject of extreme
solicitude at St. Petersburg. Constantinople
may bo dear to the Russian sovereign , but
absolutism must bo dearer. The United
States , In fact , constitute the only republic
to whoso greatness the c ar can safely con-
triouto.

The most elaborate preparations have boon
made for the celebration of the seven hun
dredth anniversary of the foundation of the
city of Berne , on August M , IB , KJ and 17.
The procession promises to afford 0110 of the
flnost spectacles over seen in Switzerland.
There will bo mounted and foot soldiery of
all periods in their proper costumes , groups
to represent different epochs , tableaus of
great historical events , etc. , and the streets
of the picturesque city will bo decorated In
moat lavUh fashion. The Fojtsplol in the
great amphitheatre , which will hold 20,000
spectators , will bo n tremendous affair , a
kind of historical drama or pageant , divided
into six periods , as follows : The foundation
of Borne in 1191 ; with the motto , ' 'Fi-ooaom
n City ; " the battle of Laupon , KW'J ' ,
with the motto , "Approved in the
Fight- ; , the defeat of the Burgun-
dians at Marten or Moral , 1476. and
the motto , "Kesoluto and Victorious. " The
reformation period or group motto , "Tho
Spirit of Life-Giving Power. " The fall of
Old Borno. 1703 , motto , "Everything Passes
Aw.iy ; Only Huuor Romulus1' setting forth
the victory of Nouenogg , the defeat at the
Granholi , the discussion in the council , and
then the revival of Borno. "Is thy sword
broken ! Still hast thou manfully main
tained thy honor. " The last group "All
for Fatherland" sets forth the patriotic
homaijo of "Tho Present" to Berne , and of
Berne herself to "Mother Helvetia , " who ap
pears nnd takes part In her daughter's
Jubilee. The text of the drama Is written by
Rev. Mr. Weber , whoso literary work in the
Sompach Fostsplol of 1SS5 was much ad
mired. One noteworthy feature of the cele
bration will bo the singing of patrlotio and
religious melodies by great mosses of chorist
ers.

The powers of the "drclbund" ( Austria ,
Italy and Germany ) and the parties to the
"zwelbuml , " Russia and tno French repub
lic , with Great Britain standing anxiously to
the ono side , are truly "groat powers , " nnd
they may bo so cillod with emphasis and
propriety. For the purposes of this proson-
tulion wo omit all references to their power
ful navies and their tremendous armies , and
confine it to populations. On tha drolbund

Surely , if war should come between them
It. would bo n war to convulse to the founda
tions the whole political and social fabric in
Europe. In view of the possibility of such n
war , all the courts , royal , Imperial and re
publican , may well bo excused for employing
all their resources of Interchange of courte
sies , Unease , nnd oven intrigue , to fend it off.
But when will they learn that frank , open
and honorable conduct among nations affords
the bobtnssuranca of peace with honor and
that the good will of the people , arising out
of lust treatment and onuitable rule , is n
tower of itrongth greater than that of any of
the mighty armies with which they try to

LINCOLN , Nob. , Aug. 7. ( Special to Tnr.
Br.B.J The attorney * of Ed Ncal , the mur
derer , are making n last ilcsperato effort to
save the neck of their client. They have
tiled In the nuproino court a motion for n
riMioarlng nnd with It n brief bristling with
citations. They bow gracefully to the opin
ion of the lupromo court on the former hour-
Ing , but they raise two now points.
They admit ihnt Noul , by his counsel , did
wnlvo his right to accompany the Jury to the
scone of the murder , so far as It was
In their power to wnlvo the right ,
but they now contend that in
n capital case It was "n substantial right , In
herent uml inalletiiihlo , which could not bo
waived by nny action of the prisoner or his
counsel. " Then follow numerous nutherltics
to sustain the proposition that the defendant
In a capital case must bo present during the
trial. They contend that the visit to the
Jones plnco was a part of the trial , because It
was evidence , and evidence can only bo tnlton
during n trial.
Noal's counsel also raises the point that the
verdict wus not sustained oy the evidence.
This ( jua-ition was not raised at the tlrst
hearing before the supreme court , and Chief
Justice Cohb dismissed it In his opinion with
a bare statement of that fact , Xoal's attor
neys now allege that the evidence was wholly
circumstantial and InsulUclimt.
They contend that beyond the fact that ho
was found In possession of some of the
Jonoj property a few days after the murder
there were only two circumstances brought
out In the ovi.lenco that tend to connect him
with the crime. One was thu fuel that on bis
visit to the farm before the murder ho re
fused to take some hay fnr u boddlng for a
calf , snylnir It wa < i too good for that purpose ,
and that the body of Dorothy Jones was
afterwards found under the hay. The other
circumstance wus alleged by u witness who
tu'stllied to seeing Noul In the road in front
of the I'lnnov farm about II o'clock on the
morning of February 3.

Lincoln may also have Its labor troubles on
account of the eight hour law. The man em

n , day at $1.20 , nnd the force has not been in
creased as was hoped. Tlm mon are talking
of n strike.
A meeting of laboring mon was held last
night and an eight hour loagno organized
with F. L. l uighton ns president and S. J.
Kent as secretary. The ooject of the loucuo
is to enforce the olgh * . hour Imv , sintl n com
mittee will bo appointed for each ward. Tao

in Lincoln , but murmurs of discontent are

Where Is that whisky surplus now ?
Noiv York Telegram ( hid. ) : The result
Is that Kentucky gives the usual big demo
cratic majority und will have another
granger legislature. I'robubly the best re-
suit is that the stuta gets a now constitution
which , however defective , Is at least uot
absurd.

within the councils of the ruling puay , They
elected a good working majority of the losn-
luture , simply hocmiso they had compollol
the democracy to nominate farmers to that ,
body.
St. Louis Hopuhllciiii idem ) : The Ken
tucky election shows democratic farmery
that they can oveivl.se their Inllui'ncu in theu
own purty and through their own party
machinery without seeking to form a class
party throiiKh which to separate themselves
from the i-rcat body of tnelr counlrymou.

the control of the ulllunco. This was accom
