TIIK JCeiirnoy mooting to discuss rutos wns about as farcical as that at Lincoln. PHKRIDKNT HAUIUSON'S speech at I3onnlngton is anotlior of the poms for which lie is justly famous. A OHANi ) jury should ho iinpannolcd for the next term of court to clear up the political atmosphere for the Novem ber election. TUB republicans of Ponnsylvaniahavo but twoofliccs to glvo out tills year and old soldiot-H are named for both. Penn sylvania never falls to honor her veter ans. ARKANSAS farmers have endorsed the sub-treasury scheme. In Arkansas the percentage of illiteracy is phenom enally high for an American common wealth. OMAHA is the only metropolitan city in the union which has no signs to indi cate the nainos of its streets. Omaha has a few things of which to bo ashamed mid this is ( no. EX-CONOKKSSMAX LAWS does not re main out ot ollico long at a time. Ho now comes to the front as special inspector specter under the alien contract labor law with headquarters in Ornaha. THE Kansas City stockyards during the second week in August shipped 150 head of feeders while for the sumo week Omaha supplied 12,870. This is one other fact showing the superiority of this market. PENNSYLVANIA docs not have much of an election this year. It is the Keystone - stone off year or bl-olcotion , but there will bo interest enough taken in it to side track Governor Pattison as a candi date for president. , KISAKKKY wants the Iloldrogo cut-off more than she wants a reduction in local freight rates just now. This probably explains the action of her chamber of commerce. Gtsorgo W. Iloldrogo , gen eral manager of the B. & M. , was at the railroad meeting. NmiirASiCA's advertising train prom ises to bo the most striking advertising effort over mndo by the state. The counties are falling into line with 'tho idea as fast as the Business Men's asso ciations can got together to make local plans for carrying it into olTect. AN TCNOLISH.MAN was slapped in the face inUornothoothorday for ridiculing the story of William Toll and the Englishman deserved it , The story may not bo true , but that is none of his busi ness. The Swiss llko the story and it is a foolish iconoclast who has no moro sense than todlscrddit it in Switzerland. HON. JOHN II. MAUION , editor of the Prescott , Ariz. , Courier , who died of heart disease during the last days of July , was ono of the host ktiown jour nalists on the Pacific coast , having boon the managing editor of various news papers in California and Arizona since Ifrll ) . lie wielded a great inlluenco not only in Arizona , but in California , Ne vada and Northern Mexico , and was highly respected for his literary abilities and porsoiml worth. Ills funeral which took place In I'roscott , on August 1 , was ono of the largest over scon in the west , and attended by the citizens on masse. THUS far the state boiiril of trans portation has succeeded only In bringing upon Itself ridicule by its public meet ings to sound the tamper of the people regarding railway ratos. It is wasting thno and accomplishing no good. The rates are either too high or they are not , and'a comparison with the rates in Iowa , considering dlfforont conditions In Ne braska , will eottlo the question at Issuo. The board is resorting to a subterfuge which shall delay action by its series of meetings nnd nothing olso. The sentiment of the people nnd the Individual expressions of opinion of members ot the state central committee ought to have satisfied the board as to Its duty. The suspicion IB growing that tho- board is ooklng an OIICUBO for keoplng Its hands olT the rates instead of Information to guldo it to Intelligent action upon the subject. FOJl TIIK The enthusiasm with which the people plo are taking up the work of securing the next republican national convention for Omaha Is encouraging. It Is n prom * iso of success. There nro excellent reasons for believing that Omahn stands today the boat chance of any aspi rant for the honor. Four years ago , n single vote on the first informal ballot was all that was lacking to cap ture the convention. The Iowa republi can state con volition's action has mndo it certain that the vote needed so much In 1887 will bo ours when the question comes before the national committee this yoar. Our people are in the main pursuing the right course In tholr canvass foi votes In behalf of Omaha. The finan cial question must of course bo first con sidered and to thlH intelligent attention is now being given. Incidental to this is that of orootlng a largo contra ! bulld- _ Ing or auditorium , though this can bo arranged for later if wo secure the con vention. Tlio Coliseum is n sufllclcnt nnsworut present to all inquiries as to our ability to provide a mooting place. The hotel and ether facilities for housing and feeding crowds will bo adequate by the date of the convention , and the com mittee must bo shown the truth of this statement. Meantmo ! while the finance and building committees are at work ether details must not bo overlooked. A representative of Omaha should bo sent personally to call upon each member of the national committee in his homo. The union should bo districted and thrco or four good men should bo sent as agents upon this work. In Omaha it is probable every member of the national committee has a personal acquaintance. ' The delegate should have a personal note of introduc tion to the committeeman from his Omaha friond. Every citizen who knows a national committcoman should correspond with him in behalf of Omaha's ambition. Outside the ranks of the committee are inlluontial republicans whoso inter est should bo enlisted. Senators Pad dock and Mandorson can render a great deal of service if their enthusiasm is aroused. Ex-Con gressman Dorsoy secured the vote of West Virginia four years ago for Omaha. Ho is widely and favorably known among republican leaders and would likely consent to go on a mission anywhere In the Interest of Omaha. The Lincoln delegation which made such a gallant fight for tlio national on- campinunt of the Grand Army of the Republic fools very kindly toward Omaha for nor work in behalf of Lin coln , and would cheerfully render its efficient assistance if requested to do so. The state should be aroused. The gov ernor , state officials and loading repub licans ought Jto bo enlisted in our bo- half. The Grand Army meeting at Grand Island will bo a favorable oppor tunity of interesting Nebraska people. Hon. William Pitt Kellogg of Louisiana is a man of influence among southern members of the committee nnd would bo pleased no doubt to help his old homo v/horo he still has property , to secure the convention. Tho.sc are passing , suggestions. Others will come to the mind of the reader in connection with them and the conven tion committee should have the benefit of the thoughts of all our citizens upon the uppermost topic now before Omaha. A long pull , a strong pull and a pull together is all wo need to make sure of success. THE I'KMVSYLVAXIA The condition of republican politics in Pennsylvania for some time past has caused a fooling of nnxloty and appre hension among republicans generally respecting the future of the party in that state. Unscrupulous leadership , the scheming of solf-seoking p&liticians , and factional warfare , have had a demoralizing - moralizing offoot upon Pennsylvania republicans , and the fear has been felt and expressed thai the state would take its place among the doubtful common wealths , after 30 years of steadfast sup port of republican principles in every national contest. Last year , owing to iho unfortunate nomination for governor forced upon the party by Quay , the dem ocrats elected tholr candidate , although ; ho republicans had carried the state in 1888 by a plurality of over seventy-nine thousand. Since then little has been ac complished toward reorganizing the re publicans on a bettor busts and olim- nating the causes of factional con- lict. Mr. Quay , whoso methods lad become repugnant to thou sands of republicans who felt compelled to publicly protest against his bossisjn , resigned from the republican national committee , and it was given out by per sons'supposed to bo in his confldenco , hnt ho intended to retire from the sen ate and presumably from politics. This irotnlscd an opportunity to reorganize uid harmonize the party , but evidence s not lacking that Mr. Quay has not yet fon(3 out of political business , though it s obvious that ills power and nflucnco have been greatly weak ened. Ho still has a grip on the mnchlno , but the master-hand , is 10 longer able to manipulate it as ormerly. Pennsylvania elects this year only two state ollicors , a treasurer nnd auditor general , but none the less the result of lie election will bo significant nnd im- lortant as a test , in the year preceding ho presidential contest , of the strength of the two parties. If the republicans \ro successful Pennsylvania will bo as sured to that party next year , whoever ts presidential eandld.ito may bo , but democratic- victory this year voulil make the state doubtful in 18012 or any republican , with a single oxcop- Ion. The state republican convention , lold Wednesday , appears to have been roor from the obnoxious machine influ ence than any convention of the party or a number of years. It was in the imln harmonious , and the candidates nominated nro referred to as exception ally strong. Both have honorable rec ords as union soldiers. The platform avers silver , but declares against free and unlimited coinage. The republicans of ' onnsylvanla believes that iho country can safely use in the currency nil tbo liver produced by American mines , but hey hold that thu olToot of making this country the dumping ground for nil the silver of the world , which would In evitably result from free nnd unlhnltei coinage , would debase the currency and lead to financial and commercial dis aster. The Pennsylvania campaign will not attract the general interest that will bo given to the campaign In Ohio and other states where n governor and legislature nro to bo elected , but by reason of the importance of the result aj already indi cated It will not bo wholly lost sight of. UA'TtUKtjY ZKAI * That the popularity of Mr. Blalno with republicans is greater and more general than perhaps over before prob ably will not bo doubled or denied. It is also safe to say that ho has the re spect and confidence of a larger number of persons not republicans than over bo foro. Every f.ilr minded man concedes now what many wore not disposed to ac knowledge only a short time ago , thai Mr. Blalno Is n statesman in the broadest sense whom his countrymen have every reason to honor andto hold in proud regard. As secretary of state in the present administration ho has found the opportunity to carry Into olfoct the plan of extended commercial intercourse which ho announced nearly ton years before , and ho has done so , with tlio full acquiescence and support of the presi dent , with distinguished success. At the same time , Mr. Blaine has boon enabled to show that in the intricate and delicate work of diplomacy ho lias had few equals among the great men who have been at the head of the state depart ment. In the International controversy he has conducted ho has shown an abil ity that has commanded the respect of the nations and the merited admiration of his countrymen. It is eminently proner nnd just to recognize the great public services of Mr. Blaine , but it is certainly possible to do so without any direct or implied disparagement of the claims of others. There has been a great deal of /.eal manifested recently , which the truest .friends of the secre tary of state and of the republican party must regard as untimely , In urging Mr. Biaino as the next republican candidate for the presidency. Several county con ventions of Pennsylvania and a number of newspapers of that state have pro claimed him as their choice. Some more or loss influential members of the republican party in all parts of the country have announced their pref erence for him. The republican state convention of Pennsylvania adopted a resolution expressing the hope that the republican national convention of 1S02 may place Mr. Blaine in nomina tion for 1ho presidency , Further ex pressions of this kind are to bo expected from republican conventions in ether states. The greatest objection to this sort of thing is the danger that it will cause factional contention in the party. Every intelligent republican ought to see that in order to secure success next year perfect harmony is absolutely essen tial. A great many republicans believe - liovo that victory in 1802 is possible with another candidate than Mr. Blaine , and it would bo altogether natural for these men to resent having him forced npon them in utter disregard of the claims of all others having availability. Another objection to this untimely ac tion is that it is essentially unjust to Mr. Blaino. It places him in an embar rassing position. Nobody supposes that ho desires it , but ho cannot with propriety say that ho does not. What ever his intentions may bo ho is compelled in present circum stances to keep them to himself. The time has not como for him to say whether ho will or will not accept the nomination if it should bo given him , and In the meanwhile the pushing nnd shouting of his over-zealous admirers cannot but bo n very great aifnoyanco to him. There aro. ether obvious objec tions to this untimely manifestation of concern for the nomination of Mr. Blaine in 18)2 ! ) , but the ono consideration of the danger to the peace and harmony of the party should bo enough to induce all Lruo republicans to leave the question of selecting ttm next candidate for the presidency to -collected wibdom and calm judgment of the national conven tion. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TIIK association of Old Time Teleg raphers which held its annual mooting in Washington last Wednesday , elected Hon. Edward Rosowntor president of the association for the ensuing year. Mr. Rosowntor was ono of the organic- ors of the association , and was at one time , wo believe , its secretary. Ho bo- cnmo a telegraph operator moro than JO years ago and was engaged in this service down to 1871. During the early years of the war Mr. Rose water was employed in military telegraphing , and in 180. ! came to Omaha as manager of the Western Union ollico. Ho has ilwnys taken n strong interest in the issociution of Old Timers , and the com pliment of electing him president of the association while ho is absent in Europe vttosts the nigh esteem in which ho is iield by his follow-mombors. The asso ciation , and also that of the Military Telegraphers , wltl honor Omaha with their presence next year. K grain men who were the guests of the city yesterday and last night nro enthusiastic over Oiirihu's prospects for jocomlng a grain market. The fooling of good will manifested by our visitors 'or Omahn nnd their confidence In bar 'uture ' is a gratifying nroof of the mutu- ility of interest , between this city nnd .ts trlbutnry territory. Otnnhu cannot grow without bonolitting the dealer nnd producer of till the region hereabouts mil Omahn cannot grow unless the : ) ooplo of this section nro prosperous. J. W. JOHNSON is n secretary of the state board of transportation. His ap pointment to the position was not the Hicaslon of general rejoicing among the farmers nnd anti-monopolists. On the contrary It has boon openly charged that Mr. Johnson's chief claim for the ) lace rested upon ofllelunt services ron- lored In the railroad lobby of the logis- aturo last winter. Mr. Johnson nnd his co-socrotarlcs sent out n rospootful re quest to citizens to participate in the conference upon rates to bo hold at Lincoln , Konrnoy and Norfolk. Ono o those wont ns',1 , , matter of courtesy to Hon. W. II. UCIMI of Saundora county not because hd'Wus ' n shipper or because ho possessed ( jijiclnl Information iipot railroad rates , Init because ho has talked a great donlvttbout rates. Mr. Dcol seized the opportunity to got hlmsel into the newspapers nnd at the same time crltlcl9fcalftho board of trans portatlon voryt$9vcroly. Mr. .Tohnsson undertook to reply nnd overstepped the bounds of his o'flffclal duty by making n personal nttiiclr' upon Mr. Doch nnc ether IndopondUnls and displaying the ears of the ass while masquerading in the lion's skin. Mr. Doch wiis delighted with the success of his experiment , ami administered a eastigation upon thu thin skin of the fresh secretary which ho will Daoh'a first letter never forgot. Mr. - tor was entirely Uncalled for nnd It was insolent. A dignified silence on the part of the secretaries was all it de manded. Mr. Johnson's reply was in discreet , undignified and wholly hide fonsiblo. Ho rncolvcs a merited rebuke. The Saunders county walking delegate scores several good points against the board of trarsportation nnd Mr. John son , nnd gets himself again into public print. As between Johnson and Deeh , personally , the sentiment of the state will take to the timber. It will laugh with both sides and does not care which sulTers the keenest mortification. MODHIJN educators ought to favor kindergarten Introduction if they do not. The Germans have taught us a great many good things in the matter of public instruction. The best features of the American public schools are adapta tions of Gorman Ideas. The kindergar ten idea is n very essential element in the correct training of children. The public kindergarten is rapidly becoming a necessity to the Amor.ican school sys tem , as the number of wage earners and working people increase in our largo cities. It takes tlio place of the homo training which in American families of comfortable circumstances is directed by the parents. The kindergarten will do moro than the present system to asslm- ilato our foreign population , because it begins with the child at its most impres sionable ago and without farcing it through the primary grades leads it in its amusements to tlio information which intelligent parents with leisure impart to their children before they enter school. The kindergarten is coining to America to say and Omaha should not bo slow in adopting it as a part of her system of public schools. " HAUD coal in Chicago soils for 30 per ton at retail. The freight rnto from Chicago to Omaha is $3.20 per ton. The Omaha consumer pays S'J.2-3 ' per ton for coal today. The rale per ton from Buf falo to Chicago , 550 miles , by steamer is SI.58. What is the lake rate to Duluth and what should bo the rate fromDulutli to Omaha if wo had n direct rail connec tion 't Hero is n suggestion for the rail road committee pf the board of trade wo"thy of attention , especially since the International & Great Northern rail road now has an arm into Sioux City and would bo willing enough to roach down to Omaha. AFTER the doctors have fought over- the relative merits of their diplomas and the representatives of the different schools have wrought out their profes sional revenges upon each other "the profession" will doubtless point to the now medical law as a valuable piece of legislation. Meanwhile the people will maintain the well grounded opinion that doctors are human and selfish just tlio same as ether pooplo. The new law may do some good and it may not. The chances are that it will simply increase tlio hatreds and perpetuate the feuds which the "code" encourages so success fully. _ . . . . = = = = = = CHKYENNE is an enterprising city. She is the metropolis and capital of Wyoming , wealthy , generous and pros perous. Her citizens have the true western spirit and the loyalty which is makintr this trans-Missouri region groat. This explains why Cheyenne is enthusi astic over Omaha for the national con vention and her newspapers and people ire backing us in our ambition. Cheyenne - enno shall have the best there is in the louse in 1892 when her people como ; ioro to see the next president noinU nated. IT is perhaps unnecessary to remark , lmt the stale smelter joke which single landed and alone for two weeks did such yeoman service for n contemporary as an editorial expression of its views upon the eight-hour law , labor agitation , the smelter strlko and all the auxiliary topics of local interest , has teen retired. tt may never resume business because , here may never again bo any trouble at the smelting works.

C linap Money. From Interview with flenernl Sherman. Free silver would cheapen the purchasing power of the workingman's dollar. Ho could lot compete with the merchant or manufac turer , who could mark up his wares to meet the inflation standard , every hour , if bo chose , while the laboringman could find it very diflleult to got his wages ad winced pro portionately. Even if ho did , how much jotter off would ho bo I The man who Is earning ? 1.50 a day and the farmer who Is jotting 31.51) ) for n bushel of wheat would iud that under free silver the purchasing lower of that SI.r > 0 would very rapidly drop , o $1,25 , and that tbo 2."i cents loss would fall , not on the merchant or manufacturer , but upon the man who labors or who tills the soil. That is the inexorable laiv of trade , jut the prlco of commodities Is fixed by the narkots of the world and can not bo changed by any local legislatures or vagaries of any single country.
