THE Omaha clearings are nn unan- swornhlo nrgumont in favor of giving homo manufactures the preference in all household and ether purchases. No COMIIINATION of corporations and democrats will bo permitted to defeat the republican party by indirection this year. There is too much at stalco. THE ancient fable of the sniuor and the fly will como to the mind of every Nebraska republican aa ho contemplates the proposed scheme for a "non-parti- aan" judiciary. A CHANGK from Gould to Vanderbilt IP n sidetracking of the wrecking car to couple on a Wagner sleeper. From an Omaha standpoint , in view of the long distance to the factory , it is a question which is preferable. JAY GoiTin was at Manitou , Colo. , Sunday and expects to remain there two or throe days. Whdn Jay Gould goes teA A health and pleasure resort it is bafo to conclude ho has important business on hand somewhere olso. JUST think of it. The independents ask in ono single election that wo shall go from Wakoloy to Mngnoy , Doano to Mlnahnn and IIopowoll to Osborno. Any ono of the throe alternatives is nauseating , but thrco of them at once is simply unbearable. WHHN Church IIowo aaya ho is out of politics it is safe to conclude that ho has taken no accurate measurements ns to the direction in whieh the traditional feline will leap and is rolleoting seri ously upon the danger of alighting on the wrong sldo of the fence. THE lawyers of Nebraska should wait until the people have spoken at their conventions before attempting to inllu- once the personnel of the btipremo court. Tlio people are very wtmry of this no tion that nobody knows a good judge except the lawyer who expects to prac tice in his court. TENNKSSHI : contemplates the reestablishment tablishment cf the whipping post at the special session of her legislature among other proposed changes of lior laws.

Pivo Omalm lawyers have united with five Lincoln lawyers in n cnll for a stnto convention of Inwyord nt Lincoln Sep tember 10 , to recommend a non-partisan candidate for nomination nt the hands of both the old parties for the ofllco of associate justice of the supreme court to oppose Joseph W. Edgorton the Inde pendent nominee. Ostensibly the pur pose of this convention of barristers is to divorce the supreme court from politics nnd mnko It non-partisan. Really It is n scheme on the part of the corporation * to assist In elevating n democrntlo lawyer to the supreme bench who shall bo satisfactory to the railroads of Nebraska. Not satisfied with their work two years ago when they forded the retirement of Judge Reese and scrlotiily Injured the republican party , the railroads are now attempting by the specious plea of mak ing n non-partisan judiciary , to hold the inllnenco they possess ± n the highest tribunal of the stato. It will bo very easy for the corpora tions to influence the action of the pro posed convention of attorneys. They Imvo a salaried representative in every county scat in Nebraska nnd local attor neys at every village in the stato. Whore moro than ono line passes through n county each road 1ms Il8 own attorney. There are not less than five hundred lawyers in Nebraska in the employ of the various railways of the stato. Each of these mon is provided with passes , an expense account and remuneration for political as well a-3 legitimate services. John M. Thurston at Omaha , T. M. Marquette at Lincoln , nnd J. B. Iltiwloy at Omaha , representing the throe principal corpot1- ations , can mass from 300 to COO lawyers at nny point in the state within forty- eight hours. Any attorney in good standing is eligible to membership ot the proposed convention at Lincoln , and as a mattur of course , thnt convention can nnd will bo us'jd in the Interest of the railroads. Suppose , however , the call were issued in good faith for the purposes sot forth , which it is not , nothing can bo said in Rs favor nt this time. For twenty-four years the republicans hnvo regularly nominated nnd elected justices of the supreme court. During all that time thcso lawyers have made no effort to create a "non-partisan judiciary. " The proposition has from time to time been mndo by the minority party , hut has boon as often spurned by the republicans. The minority is usually the organization which favors non-partisan candidates bccaiibo in no ether way can the minor ity secure a share of the olllccs. Why then should the policy pursued for twenty-four years bo so suddenly de clared evil ? The democratic party in Nebraska is in a hopeless minority. The disaffec tion which makes the independents strong enough to cause apprehension is more wide-sorond in the democratic than in the republican ranks. Why then should the republicans seek an al liance with democracy when tlio latter has nothing to lese and everything to gain and the republican party has everything to lese and nothing to gain ? There are at least 75,000 loyal republi cans in Nebraska today who will not only support but will cheerfully and enthusiastically work for the suu- cos of a good republican ticket this fall. The democratic strength does not ex ceed 00,000 votes. If the democratic party names a ticket it is doubtful whether it can poll to exceed 50,000 votes. It is absurd upon its face for 75- , 000 republicans to olTor thu 50,000 demo crats all the benefits of the campaign merely to accomnllsh the defeat of 70,000 independents. It is bad politics from a republican standpoint. If the plan bo carried out as outlined by the Omaha and Lincoln lawyers the republican party simply surrenders to its old onoruy with the fairest possible probability that the unholy alliance will itself bo overwhelmingly defeated by the \no\v \ party. The fanners of Ne braska and their allies in the cities and towns far outnumber all ether classes of voters in the state. If this scheme bo successful so far as naming a candidate is concerned , the gauntlet is thrown down by the lawyers and tlio corporations to bo taken up by the farmers. It will array ono class of our citizens against another and the chances are thnt It wouldsolidlfy and strengthen the independent vote nnd result dis astrously to the combine. In that event the Injury to the republican party would bo simply Irreparable , while the demo cratic party will have lost nothing itself and will have aided in the dostruetion or serious crippling of Its old-timo enemy. The republican party in Nebraska has a great deal moro than n fighting chance for success. If the convention at Lincoln on the ! Mth of September will nominate a clean , abln lawyer who has no taint of corporation afllllatlons upon a ringing , candid platform , he will poll the full strength of the party and recall to allegiance thousands of members of the alliance who oppose tlio national third party movement and the infamous sub- treasury and ether schemes of the Cin cinnati platform. Not only so , but such thoughtful democrats as doslro to preserve - servo the dignity of the supreme court and can rise above partisan considera tions will support the republican nominee to prevent the calamity of the election of an ignoramus to the high judicial olllco of-associate justice. The republican party has already boon drifted well on toward its ruin by the manipulations of the corporation bosses. They should ho served with no tice that leadership of the sort they fur nish is no longer desirable. "Hands off the judiciary , " should bo the tocsin of war and if the corporation attorneys aim managers hnvo a particle of political sense loft they will hood the demand of the people. Tlds proposed Lincoln con vention cannot bo disguised by the gauzy cloaic of a "non-partisan judi ciary. " It Is n corporation move pure and simple and as such deserves to bo discredited by the truo-bluo republi cans , as well as the honest democrats of of Nebraska. JMOIIB AMKltlCAN SJ/H'S. President Harrison U ono of the strongest believers in thu policy of In creasing the merchant mnrlno of the country as an absolute necessity to the extension of our foreign commerce. Ho frequently referred to the subject when on his southern and western trip lost spring , emphasizing Its importance nl times in forceful language , und in several of the speeches ho made on his late visit to Vermont ho alluded to it In equally strong and definite language. Under the operations of the ocotin postal bill , said the president , ho hoped to see a prompt and gratifying increase of Am erican ships upon the sua.Vo have too long surrondoro.1 to ether nations the carrying trade of the world. They have subsidl/od their lines of ships and hivvo rendered competition by unaided lines Impossible. Wo have the choice either to maintain our present inactivity or to promote the establishment of American lines by the same methods that other nations have pursued. "For one , " said the president , "I am not content that the harbors of the world snail longer bo unfamiliar to the stars and stripes flouting from American ships. " In this sentiment all patriotic Americans will bo in accord with President Harrison. It is by no means assured , however , that the confidence of the president in the operations of the ocean postal bill will bo justified by results. If anything has boon accomplished or is really promised under that measure the public is not informed regarding it , and the expression by the president of a hope of something can hardly bo ac cepted ns entirely reassuring. Tlioro have boon statements from time to time that the proposals made by the post master general were acceptable to cor- Uiin steamship companies , and that such companies had in contemplation the con struction of steamships according to the conditions required by the law. A re port not very long ago slated that ttio agent in this country who Is also one of the largest stockholders of a loading transatlantic line had gone to Europe to consult ether stockholders as to building ono or two such steamships as the ocean postal bill calls for. But there Is no practical evidence that any of those reports were well founded. It lias not been announced that any Amer ican shipbuilder has received an older for a vessel of either of the classes named in the measure for an ocean mail sorvino parsed by the last congress It is time that something of this kind had developed if it is true that the con ditions of tlio bill and the proposals made pursuant to it by the postmaster general are satisfactory to the steam ship companies. It lias come to bo very generally un derstood that in order to extend and maintain our foreign commerce wo must have ample transportation facilities of our own. American steamships , as com modious and swift as those of other countries , must carry American goods and produce if wo are to get the fullest advantages from our foreign commerce. The ocean postal bill was intended as the first stop toward supplying this transportation , but it would seem evident that some thing moro will bo required. Either this is not liberal enough or capital is afraid to invest in an enterprise de pendent on a policy which the people may not long [ sustain. At any rate the outlook for the postal subsidy plan does not appear to bo particularly bright , and as the next congress will certainly not olTor anything bettor the country is not likely to see any great development of its ocean marine for some years to como. PKOSECUTIOff OF TRUSTS. It is said that some interesting cor respondence is resulting from the in structions issued by the Department of Justice at Washington to the various district attorneys to collect evidence for the prosecution of the trusts. It is ox- pactod that when the federal courts are again in session proceedings will bo commenced against some of the big trusts , for which the law provides two modes a bill in equity to restrain the trust by injunction and a criminal prosecution of those engaged in it. A Washington dispatch says that thus far there has boon no call by the district attorneys for assistance in making up their cases , but such assistance will probably bo needed in fighting the greater trusts if the cases are pressed to a conclusion. This , it is to bo expected will bo done , as it certainly will be demanded by public sentiment. The prosecution of these combinations will bring out many novel questions of law , and as they will employ the best legal talent they can command these suits will contribute a great deal of valu able matter to the records of jurispru dence. The anti-trust law passed by the lust conerross contains numerous ox- pro.sslons which will have to bo inter preted by the courts before there can be any certainty of their legal meaning. Ono of the questions likely to arise in these cases is whether the consti tutional safeguard by which a man in protected from testifying against himself enables witnesses to refuse to toatify when olTorod the pro tection of boction 800 of the revised stat utes , intended to protect witnesses and compel thorn to testify by exempting them from prosecution as the result of their evidence. This question is now in the supreme court , having arisen in a case under the interstate commerce law at Chicago. A witness refused to testi fy and was committed to prison by Judge Blodgett under the statute , this action being sustained on appeal by Judge Gresham , whereupon it waa taken to the supreme court , from which a decision is expected in October. It will make con siderable ditToronco in the trust cases whether the supreme court sustains the action of the lower courts or overrules It. It Is gratifying to know that the Department - partmont of Justice intends to fully test the law. It has been slow in roach ing the decision to do this , but there is ample time during the lifo of the present ad ministration to determine whether this measure of a republican congress is suf ficient to accomplish Its purpose. ITVAB to bo expected that mob vlo- lonco would follow the conflict of arms in Chill , and it is rather surprising that it was not moro destructive to Ufo and property than the dispatches represent it to have boon. The hot blood of the people hud been thoroughly aroused , and the popular thirst for vengeance on the mon who Imd brought on the contest by overriding the constitution and usurping uiRiMftil pnwor would not bo satisfied with their abandonment of the conflict and flight from the countfft , " Undoubtedly , could the people hove laid hands on llnlnm- cedn and thoift associated with him in the UBtirpntityLihoy would hnvo paid the penalty of their1 conduct with their llvos , but as it waSj.tJjo populace had to bo sat isfied with burning their homes. The congrcssionallBt loaders appear to bo manifesting . ' proper spirit , and they o umot bo toll 'discreet ' if they desire an early recognition of the nations. In order to deserve the confidence of the world they must show that tlioy have the wisdom in their triumph to restore the country to ways of peace and prosperity and the courage to resist nil demands for treating with a severity unbecoming the ago the mon who represent the lost cause. The con- grnsslonallsts are said to bo very anx ious to bo locognlzed by the United States , anU this government will doubtless - loss accord thorn recognition as soon as it in clear that they .ire entitled to it by re-establishing the Chilian government on a constitutional basis. SUPKHINTKNDKNT FlT/l'ATUICK finds upon investigation Unit seventh and eighth grades are maintained at a largo expense in sonic of the schools.

The su- porintcndent should bo sustained regard less of the olTcct upon the salaries of principals of proper rearrangement of these grades in the schools. SENATOR CARLISLE is reported to have said that the tariff investigations show an abnormally laigo discrepancy between the manufacturers' prices and the price to the consumer in the matter of boots and shoos , There is not much political capital in that fact if true , for boots and shoos are so cheap that it hardly pays to wear half-solodor patched footwear. NKIIKASKA CITV formally opened her exposition yesterday , and the enterprise deserves abundant success. It is the only exposition in the stato'and is hold in ono of the most attractive cities in Nebraska. People who go to Lincoln to the state fair next week will not regret it if they 'run over to Nebraska City before returning to the west. A GUANO jury for the coming term is clearly demanded by the situation here abouts. Why lias the judiciary neg lected to order one ! * Why has the county attorney tat meekly by in face of BO many grave charges against public ollicials without taking ono stop toward an inquisition by the grand jury ? ALLEN Roor made an important ad mission when he said in tlio independent judicial convention : "Wo hjwo not tlio material in our party to fill these posi tions on the beuchi" lie might have added "nor the judgment either" in view of part of the solcctions made for these important olllcos. IN THE face of a probable reduction of license receipts next year it behooves tlio Board of Education to go slow in the matter of now salaried positions , anil every effort of the superintendent to re duce expenses deserves the cordial sup port of its members. GOVKKXOU THAYKK cannot sot up the unsupported statements of the convicted officers of tlio Hastings asylum as an excuse - cuso for sustaining them in oflico. The findings of the board are official , regu lar , sustained by sworn testimony and unanswerable. IT WILL bo time enough to correct abuses , in the administration of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings after the incompetent and extravagant , if not corrupt , heads of the Hastings asylum are thrown into the wasto- baskot. TJST and Livoiinghouso now admit nearly every charge against tlio man agement of the Hastings asylum in letters - tors to the governor but attempt to shift the responsibility to the Board of Public Litiids and Buildings. Tim election booths , it is thought , will cost $20,000 and tlio expense of elec tions under the Australian ballot system will bo largely increased , but an honest election is > possible and that is worth all it can possibly cost. COUNTY ATTORNEY MAHONEY has a responsibility in connection with the en forcement of the two inilo limit license law which cannot bo shifted to the shoulders of the commlbsionors.

Kansas City Journal : Few will mourn to read that Ualmnceda's power in Chill is broken. The insurgents uppenr to have tlio bettor class of the people with them. Chicago Herald : Unless the now war ships which lialnmccda has coming to his aid shall reopen tlio war butwoen him nnd the congress party ills probable that the sovuro defeat ho has mot before Valparaiso will end for a time nt least revolution in that country. Both sides Imvo exhausted their resources and seriously diminished the population. Cincinnati Commercial : In the tips nnd downs of the Chilian revolution Dalmnccda seems to have been worsted of lato. The re port is that his power has boon completely overthrown , and that ho himself has been trapped. However the trouble may result , or should result , lot us hope the end will soon come nnd peace be restored In that dis tressed country. Now York Herald : From the start Bnlma- ceda has vainly tried to uphold a tot tering cause. Ho excited the indig nation or tno popio uy acts wmca they regarded as unconstitutional and injurious to the public welfare. The op position to his autocratic policy has steadily ruined ground , and now , at last , ho has cone down under it. This Is the story of the Chilian insurrection In a nutshell. Chicago Times : It. is bootless to inquire which was the popular party. There was none. The great mass of the people tilled their fields or labored in the mines and said nothing. The insurgent was nn aristocratic party. Balmacoda rose ns a demagogue. Hut the popular party now is , of course , the victor at Vina del Mar , whoso conquering arms Valparaiso welcomed with wild huz/.ns. much , no doubt , ns it would have received Halmaceda had bo been a victor instead of a fugiUivo. Globc-Domocrat : From the beginning the sympathy of the world has been with the congressional party or revolutionists. They have roprespntod constitutional government , while President Balmaceda has stood for despotism nnd one-man power in Its most extreme and offensive form. The overthrow of that autocrat will niuko the role of tyrant and dictator n little less attractive to am bitious men in the South American republics tlmn it has boon thus far , and will give liberty nnd law a stronger foothold. Pioneer Press : This result will bo hailed with satisfaction by the American people gener.illy because they have been led to be lieve that the insurgents represent the prin ciples of the popular government against a ruler who has sought to make himself a dictator tater by unconstitutional moans. But as a ' ipnttpr'of fact it was the congressional party whieh set out by arrogating powers in con flict with the constitution and by denying to the president the right to exorcise the powers vested in him by that instrument. St. Paul Globe : Balmaceda would finish his live yo irs1 term ns president this year , and no occasion existed for his breaking with congress except that growing out of his am bition to retain powor. Ho commenced his usurpations thrco years ii o , and the cul mination was reached when ho announced that ho should take the public- funds and support the army and navy without the con sent of congress. The supreme court pro nounced his acts illegal , and congress used the power conferred on it to impeach and dope o him. Hero the split took tbo gun powder form. IM.S.S/.Vtt IKSTS. . . . , .
