TIIK Sabbatarians have drawn flrsi blood in the contest relative to oponinc the World's fair on Sunday. The board of lady managers have declared In favot of closing the gates on Sunday after f spirited discussion by a vote of 50 to 30 , THE Iowa editor who states thai Farmer Wlioolor , "tho republican norai nee for governor , is running on a plow handle ticket and a cornfield platforir whllo Calamity Boies runs on a jug. handle ticket with a corn juieo platform is something of a humorist. THE Samoans are not such fools as tlit Gorman president of Samoa seems tc have thought. They have sound notions upon the money question and declined to allow the Gorman planters to work oil ix job lot of old Wurtotuburg sllvot coins in payment of taxes at gold value. NOTHING pleases Mr. Kgan more today - day than the recollection of his.quarrel with Biilmacoda. The men who have not been at potico with the Into president of Chili are the favorites of the now gov ernment. Thit little controversy although nalmaccda's apology mis ac cepted may bo the salvation of Patrick's ministerial neck. WITH 75,000 votes as sure as election , a woalc candidate for associate justice on the independent ticket and the demo crats wholly nt sea without the compasn of leadership or the rudder of a news- .paper organ , the republicans need noth ing but good sense , an honest candidate , a republican platform and organization to wlpo tlio earth with the opposition. ARTIIUK P. GOUMAN merely Binilos when his nauio is mentioned in connec tion with the democratic nomination for the presidency in 18U2. It is a peculiar ity of the Gorman amlle that it never spreads far enough or becomes sutllc- lontly convulsive to cause the Maryland statesman to open his jnouth. IIo ap preciates the superior wisdom of the Choaapoako bay clam. FAUJUIUS must not overlook the fact that the federal laws do not Impose a tax on anything that the furmor owns or produces.

Demagogues can mtiko n Ho do u tremendous amount of service. TUB fiat money follows nro not pleased at Secretary Foster's statement showing that $13.85 per capita was the circulation in 1860 and that it has fluctuated more or less for thirty yuan ) but is greater today than over before in the history of the country , being $ i3.-l5. ! The fact is that the per capita circulation has very Httlo If anything to do with the prosperity of Iho country , but that Httlo la in favor of this republican administration. Tin : DKMOVIUTS , The democratic party of Nebraska Is budly demoralized Institution. In hopeless minority tit tlio best , it has su fored fearfully from disaffection and d < Bertlon slnco the last campaign. Thor is no democrat sanguine enough to pn dlt't success to his party even In Us ol time strongholds without assistant either from the republicans orlndopont ontfl. As a consequence tlio local lorn ors tire liurlotiiifr with Iho independent wherever it Is practicable and In a larg number of CIIBCS are openly ronouncln allcgianco to democracy. The suspicious circumstances abnti this renunciation of tlmo honored nssc ciatlons is that it la most vociferous f rot the lungs and lips of democrats wh want olllco. It in also observed thn when a democrat of this ilk gets a notr ( nation on an Independent ticket his ol party friends very frequently got tc gether and cither endorse him for th democratic ticket or make no nominn tlon for the olllco ho nocks , In the alll unco local nominations thus far mad the ox-democrats largolj predomlnat over the ox-republionns. In fact the ox republican who secures a nomination-is s rare a bird as to bo u curiosity , Grcoti backers , democrats , prohibitionists nm labor union partisans got into the king dom through the wide-open gate , bu the now convert from the ropublletu ranks [ A left out in the cold unless ho i small enough to squeeze through hoiiv sort of a crack in the independent fence The democrats are simply taking nl they can got and following up the suggestion gostion that It is far more important ti capture the court houses than to elect i state tk-kot. On the state ticket the ; propose simply to lie down unless the ; can wheedle the republicans into a non partisan scheme for their benefit This plan is completely frustrate ! by the stiff strokes of TIIK Br.K and tin republicans of the stato. While tin democrats are demoralized as a part ; and hopolcHS so far as the state ticket 1 concerned , they are lying awake night as Individuals scheming for the local of licos. When the tickets are nominate ! in the out counties it will bo discovorei that the democratic lion and tlio independent pendent lamb are very badly mixed it their relations toward each other. Ex republicans in the independent part ; ought to see how they tire being trickcc by the unholy combination. 7/0IP TUG VAIIMKIIS OAIf. The free importation of Americat pork products into Germany will , it ii estimated , increase our exports in thu line from $12,000,000 to $14,000,000 an nually. Wo shipped about the forme : amount of pork to Germany before i was excluded from that country , and it view of tlio short supply of food in Eu rope this year there is every reason t < expect that the demand for our hoj products will at least bo as largo as be fore and is very likely to bo considerably sidorably increased. If this is followed by the removal of the French rostriC' tions upon our pork that will give another market nearly as largo as Got- ' many , and there appears to bo no dottbi that Franco will accede to the request o this country. With these two markets reopened it ought to bo a safe ralcula tion that within a your wo shall be exporting to Europe $ i0,000,000 ! wortl : moro of our pork than wo have beet : doing , which will bo a very handsome addition to the revenue of the hofi growers and the packing interests ol the country. In the meantime our business with the counties with which wo have reciprocity agreements is steadily growing. Careful estimates of the value of the increased shipments abroad of our farm products , as a result of the reciprocity arrange ments already effected , place the sum at not less than $50,000,000.Thus there is substantial ground for the belief that the farmers of the United States will in the near future have a demand for their pro- "ducts exceeding the present demand by nearly or qulto $70,000,000 , and in all probability this will bo fully maintained from year to year. The olToct of this must bo to hold up prices at a higher range than for a number of years , so that the benefit to the farmers of these expanding markets does not stop with the gains to be derived from the export of surplus products. The homo market will bo moro profitable to them. If nothing moro were done in extending our foreign markets the advantages already secured should commend the gratitude of the country toward the party which has so well cured for their interests and for the welfare of the nation. The work accomplished by the prcs ; out administration , made possible by the legislation of a republican congress , in extending our foreign commerce , con stitutes one of the most remarkable rec ords of peaceful conquest In his tory. It testifies to a high order of statesmanship of which the coun try may justly uo proud. It would have been Impobalblo under democratic policy. The Cleveland administration male an oJTort to secure the removal of the restrictions tigtilnst our pork by Germany and Franco , but without pro ducing the slightest impression upon the governments of those countries. The republican party found a direct and practical way to achieve what was desired - sired , and the result vindicates the wis dom of Its action. There could bo no reciprocity under the econo mic policy demanded by the demo cratic party , but the republican party has demonstrated that it Is entire ly practicable without interfering with the protection necessary to the defense of American industries , and that it will bo productive of inestimable advantages to our people. Surely the party that has done those things that has so amply demonstrated its ability to pro mote the prosperity and welfare of the country ought to command the support of the people , and particularly of the farmers , who are the principal beneficiaries " * ficiaries of its policy. K ' I'OLITICS IN A'Kir Yonif. The conventions of the two parties in Now York will soon bo hold , and then that state will command a largo share of the political interest which just now contoru on Ohio. Thu situation ns to both of the old parties appears to bo complicated by dlfllcultles , and in this rofapoct the douiocruta boom to be in rather worse condition thr.n the ropub llcttns. Governor Hill has been pluylni n deep game , but recently ho has not been having every thing hs ! own way. In the election o delegates to the democratic state convention vontion the supremacy of IH11 has booi challenged throughout the Rtato. Tin friends of Cleveland have declined t < siand idly by and allow him to bi slaughtered and they have made a vorj Interesting contest. The general rosul is not , apparently , to the advantage o the aspiring governor. Indeed , tin friends of Cleveland have shown siicl positive strength in the fight with Ull as to have affectively shuttered hli presidential chances , granting that IK over had any. A short tinn ago it appuarod that Hill was master o the situation and would have no dillkuilti in naming the candidate for governor but It Is now very doubtful whether he can do this , and the question as to wm will bo the candidate la perplexing the democrats. It appears , also , that the silver question may cause them some trouble , but it is expected the con von tlon will pronounce against frco coinage , Tlio republicans are still at sea re' garding an available candidate for gov' ornor. The discussion of Mr. Andrew D. White , ox-president of Cornell uni versity , has not been altogether favor able to that gentleman , so far us the question of availability is concerned. Mr. White has capacity and experience in public affairs , and as a citizen no man stands higher , but it IB thought hu would not bo popular with elements necessary to republican success , and therefore the suggestion of his candi dacy has not boon received with very great favor. IIo would ac cept the nomination , but will not make any effort to obtain it. Ex-Sen ator Platt is thought to bo quietly lay ing plans to secure the nomination , and ho is so adroit and skillful a politician that it might not bo safe to predict that ho will not got it if ho desires it. There can bo no doubt , however , that the republican party could hardly commit n worse mistake than to make him Its can didate. IIo is to Now York what Mr. Quay has been to Pennsylvania. The republican party of no state can alTord to entrust leadership to men of this kind , and it would be simply suicidal to do so in a doubtful state. The republicans of Now York do not luck men who would be available candidates , but none of these who have been named is willing to make the race. It is a noteworthy instance of ILho office seeking the man that in presented by the ropublicnn situation in Now York , and the obvious danger is that it will not find the right man. What serves to make this state of nlTiiirs somewhat sur prising is the fact that the outlook for jopublican success this year in New York is very favorable. The spring municipal elections showed republican gains , indicating that the voters who turned their back on the party last year have returned to their allegiance. The conditions to prosperity , which count for the republicans , are as abundant there as elsewhere. There is no serious disaffection in the party. On the other hand the democrats have a factional fight , and the appearances are that it will bo fought out by the Cleveland and Hill men to the bitter end. If so the advantage ougnt to bo very decidedly with the republicans. All things considered , the political situ ation in New Yortc seems to bo largely in favor of republican victory in Novem ber , and such being the case it is as tonishing that there should bo any dif ficulty in finding a man willing to accept the leadership and make the race for governor. _ _ _ _ _ _ THICK nro 128 manufacturing institu tions in Omaha , small and great , and they give employment to 12,000 people and support 00,000 of our population. They are the backbone of our city's pi asperity. They deserve the patronage of every loyal resident of the city , and if they can receive it they will double their capacity and largely increase the number of wage oarnorsin their employ. Within eighteen months wo can increase Omaha's popu lation to 200,000 and infuse now life into commercial circles. The receipt for this desirable result is contained in throe words : "Patronize Omaha Industry. " Nmvsi'APKH correspondents in Wash ington now have nothing particular on hand except speculations us to the sne- eobsor of Secretary Procter In the War department. They could save breath and valuable news spnco If they would keep out of the United States sonata when seeking candidates. There are few republicans to spare in that body , and these that can bo spared nro likely to remain whore they are until the un certainties of the present political situation are roliovnd hero and there. The republican party will take no chancoH for a year or two on the com plexion of the senate. A TYrooiiAriliOAi , omission in these columns yesterday morning might lead the reader to the conclusion that the amendment to the state constitution providing for three railway commis sioners to bo elected by the people waste to bo voted upon in November next. The constitution provides that votes upon amendments shall occur at the general elections in even years and therefore this amendment will bo before the people in November , 1892.

'As soon as the pcoplo generally got hold of the point tlicro will bo few registered letters - tors sent through the mulls , " said a I'ost- o111cu department ollielnl this mornlnc. "Did you know that the same care is exercised over a letter deposited for special delivery lhat is civon a rogisloreU letturl Well , it is true You can have a letter delivered by special messenger , without , anv delay , for 10 centa. It costs the same to register a lottor. The governniout does not insure the delivery of a registered lotler. It only promises to nxerciso the greatest possible care In deliver ing it to the person to wbom it is addressed. It is put In a special pouch. The same is true of a special delivery letter or package. The cost and care is Identically the same , with the advantage of having luo special delivery - livery delivered sooner than the registered package. " It , is stated tbat ns this point of difference becomes known tte registry businnss dimin ishes and Iho special delivery increases. It threatens to oocomo a serious mailer to the revenues of the government. There is very little if any prollt In the special delivery business. It oosts 10 cents in most places to deliver a lotlor or parcel. The registry uusl- ness is largely clear profit. Only the clerical and stationery outlays make Iho oxuonso of the system. The same expense , nowovcr , accrues to tbo special delivery system. HIICE.NT A11MY OHDBltS.
