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

labor union partisans got into the king

ranks [ A left out in the cold unless ho i

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

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

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 '

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

they give employment to 12,000 people

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

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

situation are roliovnd hero and there.
The republican party will take no

A TYrooiiAriliOAi , omission in these
columns yesterday morning might lead
the reader to the conclusion that the
amendment to the state constitution

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.

All hu got went for rent and soiiuithln to oat ,
And then bo seldom or never hud meat

'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.
