Dr. Gcorye L. Miller , ( dcm. ) TIIK fact that the Interstate Com merce commission breaks down the health of its members will not deter any of the aspirants for appointment tq jtho two vacant places from pushing their claims with all possible ardor. PKIUIAPS the city cleric can explain why outside bidders on movable furni ture for the city hall wcro permitted to scale down their bids after they wore opened and councilman were advised of the fact while the Omaha bidders were not informed that this would bo allowed. I WOULD ndviso the democrats of this state to pay no hood whntqvor to the warnings or the threats of ti newspaper that scorns to bo "everything by turns , " except an advocate of good government in this state. This it never seems to bo. There appears to bo no current heresy of political doctrine that it does not approve. Dr. Miller on the World-ITei- ald. I IUAT : > the double-loaded proclamation to the democrats of our state that graced your editorial columns this morning ( September 12) ) with curious interest not unmixed with a fooling akin , to loathing. * * * There is nothing in the record of the World-Jrcrald to warrant it in giving couiibol to the democratic party. Dr. Milter to the JMitor oj the World- Jlcrald. FULIEKTON is thp homo of Lieuten ant Governor Moiklojohn and that is why the busy little city rises on mnsso to proclaim against his assault in Wis consin. They threaten to call out the Fullerton light guards and go on to the Badger1 state in war paint to mnko it interesting for the other principal In the ( Istii-ulT which occurred at Madison the other day. IT WILL not bo necessary to ronoml- nato Charles II. Gore for regent of the university merely to suvo to the .Journal Printing company some $10,000 worth of university job work. The Journal com pany has had a long pull on state print ing and in the interest of the republican party ought to take Ita chances on the University business without insisting Upon owning a regent. IT is bad policy nnd the city attorney intimates it IB illegal to award contracts for the furniture of the now city nail in adyanco of the city election which shall provide funds for making the purchases. The mayor will doubtless refuse to aw- provo any conditional contrr.ot. The council will act with discretion if it shall return certified chocks and reject all bids until after the November election. GOVKKNOU JAMKS E. BOYD Is a demo crat nnd that is his uhiof fault. Ho is more than a democrat for ho was able to poll votes enough in a republican state to bo elected governor. If hla political associates iloslro to commit political hiu'1-lmri they will pass the proposed resolutions of consuru against him for vetoing the Nowborry bill , Such reso lutions passed by an already demoral ized political organization would , simply wipe up the sol ( with what is loft of it and leave no one to carry the corpse to the couiotory for descent interment. UKTTIXd INTO LIKE. Advices from Iowa are to the offec that thp republicans are rapidly falling into line , and that the work of organlza tlon is progressing favorably. The eooc effect of the republican discussion of na ttonal issues is becoming apparent It their roturu to party rslloglanco of the republicans who strnyod away two yean ngo , and as the campaign advances the movement will become mo'-o active and gonoral. The democratic position on all ver will not got the support of the Intelli gent and honest farmers of Iowa , whc have hitherto boon steadfast In favor o : a sound and stable currency , nnd espo daily is this true of those who until twt years ago were constant in their allo' glance to the republican party. Thoj understand that they have nothing tc gain but everything to lose from the free and unlimited coinage of silver , witli Its inevitable result of bringing aboul the single silver standard and lessoning the purchasing power of the dollar , and that the only persons to profit by that policy are the silver mine owners , who would got the prollts which the govern ment makes on the purchase and coinage of silver. They know that the government Is now purchasing all the silver produced in this country , loss the amount used in the arts , and that there Is no sound reason why it should open its mines to the silver product of the rest of the world and the supply In Europe which would bo poured In upon us in a Hood If wo had free coinage. The farmers and workingmen of Iowa are also being enlightened regarding the operation of the tariff , and are find ing that It has not "boon productive of any of the evils that were predicted , but on the other hand has brought some very material benefits. They know that the trade reciprocity which the McKln- ley bill in ado possible will bo largely in their interest , in sup plying enlarged markets for the surplus products of American farms , and they roalixo that the success of that policy is dependent upon maintaining republican ascendancy in the government. In n word , the eyes of the intelligent voters of Iowa nro being opened to the un- American principles and the indefen sible policy of the democratic party in regard to national questions , and the republican party is getting the benefit of the n wakening. HUllOt'KAff n'Ali CLOUDS. A short time ago Turkey permitted armed transports of Russia to pass through the Dardanelles , and since that tinio all Europe hns boon more or less anxious regarding the result of this unlocked for concession on the part of the Turkish government , and particu larly ns to the course England would pursue. The latest dispatches report that 11 British naval force has occupied n point within storming distance of the Dardanelles and will fortify it , and the event is said to have created grave ap prehension in European diplomatic nnd financial circles. In order to understand the situation it should ho stated thatras long ago as 1809 Turkey's right to dictate the usn of the narrow straits , called the Dardanelles , was first acknowledged. At different times that agreement between the na tions was renewed , especially by the treaty of Paris , which also opened the Black sea to the commerce of all nations but excluded from its waters ships of war. In 1S70 , when war broke out between Franco and Ger many , the czar , Alexander II. , took ad vantage of the opportunity to announce that ho should disregard that portion of the treaty of Paris' which forbade him to build or keep ships of war in the Black Sea. In the time since Russia has organized in that sea a much stronger naval armament than she over possessed before , and were her war ships per mitted to puss through the Bos porus and Dardanelles she is in position to figure among the MedUor- rancan naval powora of the first rank. But while the powers have conceded to Rtibbia the use of the Black sea for her ships of war , they have withhold the right to pass theao ships through the Dardanelles except by permission of Turkey. In allowing the armed trans ports of Russia to pass through those narrow waters which divide Europe from Asia , Turkey has made a con cession which naturally suggests that Russia has boon able to obtnin influence at Constantinople , which is a monaco to the rest of Europe and particularly to England , whoso oc cupation of Egypt and control of the Suez canal would bo seriously threat ened in the event of a combination of Russia and Franco to control the Levant with their Hoots. This is the monaco which has led England to proceed none too promptly to provide against the dan ger Involved In the Turkish concession to the northern autocrat , and her ac tion. If of the nature reported in the dispatches , Is very certain to produce a stirring effect upon Europe. War may not bo imminent. Turkey may bo nblo to explain her action to the satisfaction of the powers. Within the past throe or four years there have boon circumstances quite as threatening to the pouco of Europe as the permission to Russia , to pu ; > s her transports through the Dardanelles. But there appears to bo excellent reason to _ believe that Rus sian intrigue has boo'n very active at Constantinople , and has boon more successful in its purpose than will prove to bo in the interest 'of prolonged European paaco. MiNSlOX tfOKK. The letter of Pension Commissioner Ratlin to Congressman-elect .Enochs of Ohio , buppllos information regarding tho'work of the Pension bureau , which cannot fail to bo of interest to all per sons having business with that branch of the public service , and also furnishes Tncta that * will bo instructive to every body. The fooling of the Ohio con gressman ' which called out the communication from the commissioner , ihat there ia unnecessary delay In the settlement of the pension claims , is one ; lmt doubtless widely prevails. Nothing s more natural than that applicants for | ) unnions should become impatient , after nonths or oven weeks of waiting for in formation regarding the status of their claims , and ussumo that the olllcials of the pension ofllco nro neglecting their duties. Attorneys and claim agents are very sure to toll persons who entrust their claims to thorn that they have po cullnr facilities for securing prompt at tention to the business they send to the bureau , and to promise clients a prompt adjudication of tholi claims. When such assurances fall the claimants naturally become Irritable and charge the whole fault upon the ponslot : oftlcials. The injustice of this is clearly pointed out in the letter of Commissioner Rnutn , Very few pcoplo can have any concop' tlon of the enormous amount of business transacted by the Pension bureau , l ! the ofllclals had nothing more to do thar to pass upon claims , of which there wore pending on July 1 last over 1)2,000 ) ! ) , their tlmo would bo fully occupied , bul in addition to this there is an Immense correspondence that must receive atton tion. The number of communications rccolvcd last year from claimants , tholt friends nnd attorneys , was , according tc Commissioner Raum , 1,170,000 , which was at the rate of 07,5.35 per month arid ! ! ,2o2 pdr day. Besides these , there Were rccolvcd from members of congros , re garding claims , 151,817 communications , which was at the ratio of 12,01iC per month and -131 per day. A thought ful consideration of the figures must convince every intelligent man that the pension oflico is a very busy place , and that in adjudicating J0,000 ! claims per month , which the commissioner states is now being 'done , it is doing all any reasonable man can ask with the force it has. There are three conditions which entitle claims to special consideration , viz : destitution , old ago and approaching dissolution , and the commissioner states that when ever either of these conditions is brought to the attention of the ollico ho does not hesitate to have the case called up , examined nnd the status given. Commissioner Raum makes one im portant suggestion which claimants would do well to boar in mind , and that is to obtain and furnish the necessary evidence to complete their claims. This saves time and insures a prompadjudi cation. The commissioner thinks that the appropriation mndo by congress for the current fiscal year will bo sufficient. The statement of Commissioner Raum shows that the pension bureau is being administered efficiently and on good ousiness principles. AN ASPIRING young district judge in the interior of the state is allowing his name to bo pushed among republicans nsucanaidato'for associate justice of tlio supreme court. Unfortunately the pushers nro railroad men and machine politicians. The gentleman is an hon est lawyer , a good district judge and has kept himsejf fairlyjroo from corpor ation influence in the past. His eager friends are making a mistake , however , in calling him away from his district just now. IIo will bo obliged to explain how and why ho was selected as a candi date by the corporations and the machine and the necessity of nn explanation will of itself kill him before the people. Uo can bo ro-oloctod a district judge. Uo is young and can afford to wait a few years for a promotion. IIo knows that the candidate who > will win this fall must go into the fight with a well known anti-monopoly record , not merely a negative reputation. As a friend of every honest man who aspires to this nigh place Tin : BKK would simply say that in this particular campaign nobody is available who is obliged to provo that ho is not under corporation iu- Huonce. This is political sense and ought to bo heeded. KANSAS CITY newspapers which arose so anxious to compare bank clearings with Omaha will please keep in mind the fact that several banks whoso busi ness was shown in 1890 are shut out of the clearing house this year by an arbi trary ruling. Tlioy will also please re call the fact that no Omaha bank , largo investment company or land company has gone into bankruptcy. They will also keep in mind the fact that if Omaha maintains her gait a few months longer Kansas City will bo third place as a hog packing center. There are other little matters which .could bo brought out to the disadvantage of out- down river rival if she is especially anx ious for a controversy. The fact is that Omaha has hold her own most remark ably during a period of very distressing business stringency while Kansas City has suffered severely. Nevertheless there is no disposition on the part of this city to revile her neighbor on ac count of her misfortunes. On the con trary , Omaha wishes Kansas City were swimming on the top wave of prosperity. DR. GKOHOB L. MIDLER'S blood bolls with indignation as ho perceives to what base uses the paper which ho fathered and , nurtured into democratic greatness is put , nnd says : "I would advise the democrats of this state to pay no heed whatever to the warnings or throats of a newspaper that seems to bo every thing by turns * * * I have boon unable to observe that there is any eco nomic error for which it is not quick to apologize , etc. " BOLIVIA appropriated $150,000 , Guate mala $120,000 , and Peru J100.000 , to bo represented properly at the World's fair. Is any other argument needed to provo that $50,000 Is not half enough for Nebraska ? The World's Fair commis sioners of tills state should do something more than draw salaries if wo are to bo decently represented In Chicago , and they can not bo too early in the Hold working up interest and cash. IT is folly to discuss the matter. Chief Justlco Cobb simply cannot bo elected if nominated. His candidacy is an invitation to defeat and is so con sidered by every intelligent man who is lamlllar with the situation. If ho should jo foisted upon the republican party by the railroads the republican party will , 'o out of business until after November ,1 , not longer. NEXT Monday night the manufactur ers will got together and form nn organ ization which it is to bo hoped will cen- .rulizo the efforts now being mndo to encourage homo industries. SKAI * games are never popular with the rank and lllo of the republican mrty. This fact should bo made clear o the county central committee which without previous announcement or con- foronconrrogatcVFltfltaolf the authority to name the delegates to the state con vention. The OJCUPO offered on its face la not wholly bad Ijlit the precedent is ab horrent lo all the mnctlcoj of the party nnd cannot bo nlibwcd to go without ro- buke. The wnrjL caucuses and ward clubs should havM ) been taken into the confidence of thoi'ommlltoo on this sub ject and their ijouUmont should have formed the basis of action. Having nmdo ho mistake of Ignoring thorn , it is now possible In part to1 ( satisfy the republi cans of the countyi-by calling together ward and product caucuses to select the delegates to bo reported to the full com mittee next Saturday. The ward and product committccmcn must not insist upon exorcising the arbitrary authority delegated to them by the general com mittee. There Is too much at stake in the coming state convention to permit its deliberations to bo Influenced by a packed delegation of sixty-throe mem bers from Douglas county. There Is a well grounded suspicion that the central committee hns boon talc on into a daop scheme which can only bo defeated by referring the selection of delegates to the ward and precinct clubs or caucuses. TUB Dos Moines licyistcr ropubllshos an editorial article printed In Tin : BIJE on the 10th inst. in nnswor to one in the Jc/it > tcr charging this paper with vaccil- latioli in its discussion of the question of prohibition and high liconso. The lead ing republican paper 'of Iowa is consid erably oil its balance on the prohibition question in the oycs of TIIK BKB , but it is courteous and fair enough to give place to the defense of this paper although that defense is couched in somewhat sqvoro language. EX-GOVEHNOH LAUAUKK'S friends are urging liis appointment as interstate commerce commissioner to succeed Judge Cooley resigned. The west is entitled - titled to a place on the Interstate Commerce morco commission and if the president thinks of naming a man from a state cast of the Missouri river , Iowa has powerful claims upon his attention. The president , however , ought to look west of the big muddy for timber with which to fill the vacancy. TUB precedent must not bo consented to by ward nnd precinct clubs that the counly central committee may nt its pleasure select delegates to represent Douglas county in the stale conventions. A btinging rebuke to the arrogance of the committee should bo administered by the local organizations of the party and the clubs should ddmand at least that the ward delegates ' shall bo selected by caucus of the republicans of each ward. IT MAY bo rcmuvked in passing that Secretary Blaine hap lost no sleep over the Itata incident and has never found it in his heart to gfuflgo Secretary Tracy of the Navy department the honor of both pursuit and capture of the Chilian vessel. In fact , tha State department rather chuckles to itself as it observes the contortions of the Navy department in its efforts to lot ilsolf out of the Chil ian episode. OMAHA has no candidate for associate justice of the suprorao court to place before fore the republican state convention , but Douglas county will give a roasing plurality to a republican whoso record is the best possible proof that the rail road corporations cannot use him if ho shall receive the nomination. Douglas county polls ono-sovonth of the vote of Nebraska. TUB independents may or may not have proceeded according to law in the matter of holding tlioir primary olop- tions , but it will bo very small business on the part of the elder organizations to take any advantage of purely technical errors. It is a now party , young in years and experience and youthful in discretions must bo charitably over looked. THIS is no yellow doer campaign. A respectable republican , who , as Sen ator Mandorson truthfully says , is entirely free from taint or sus picion of being under the influence of corporation control can beat an ignoramus like Edgorton by a good round plurality regardless of the action of the democratic party , "IlB THAT providoth not for his own and especially for his own house hold is worse than an infidel. " This passage from Holy "Writ is commended to the attention 01 these members of the Omaha city council who would pass by Omaha firms and award the contract for the furniture of the now city hall to out side concerns. TiiE.olcotrio light company should bo compelled to connect -its testing wires with the ollico of the gas inspector. That officer should bo enabled to make his tests without surveillance from the electric light pcoplo. Tests made in the company's power 'taniso will always bo open to suspicion , ' TUB now city lYiilJ can bo furnished for $21,000 by Omaha people , who own property hero , pay ? taxes here and jx pond largo snms of money annually for wages in this th'tj5. When money is available for the , jpurposo the Omaha firms should bo given the preference. HONEST inspection of ga ? and electric light is out of the question when tests ire made under the immediate oycs of .he gas nnd oloqtric light companies upon machinery furnished by these com- wiiios on bases'-fUr testing stipulated 'or by the companies.

The bachelors in Wyoming are beginning to get on their war paint over the discrimina tion made ncainst thorn by the legislature in Imposing n J tax. The amount is trivial and not complained of , but theyinsist that they are not proper objects of this sort of dis credit.

NEW YOIIK , Sept. 14. Advices from Cuba show that the island's future grows darker. With the banditti ou ono hand , robberies by government ofllclals on another , and enormous - mous taxes for appropriations , the burdens of the pcoplo are becoming greater than they can boar. The banditti nave reached n state similar to that of the banditti In Italy years ago. No i traveler is safe on tlio roads or in the country villas. Of late depredations bnvo begun oven in the prcsonco of Puerto Principo. Near Caitnoto lived n family of four persons two very old people ( man and wife , ) their daughter nnd her husband. Ono day half n dozen mounted men presented thomsulvos nt the door while the men were away and bound the womon. After ransacking the house , the robbers shamefully abused the young woman nnd loft her for dead. Tno old woman was hit with a carbine and soon died. The banditti waited for the two men to como from the Hold and shot them down as they approached the houso. Soldiers nnd police are in lenguo with the banditti. Hob- bor bands have been formed with startling rapidity cash having its exclusive territory. The homo rule party is dead and the revo lutionary party is dally growing stronger. It is not to bo wondered at when men sou their homes plundered , their property stolen , their daughters and wives assaulted and their lives in danger that they should como together and make nn effort to rid thorn- solves of the scourge which is dally making their lives moro miserable. Merchants are loud in protestation because the government hns not entered into nego tiations with the United States looking towards a treaty for the tobacco industry. So bitter is the fooling that the government has to have soldiers stationed at the election booths. Daily dolieiu nro found in the troobury nnd custom house. Money paid for lovcnues disappears as if by magio. JSUXCUMJl UF .1 llltlTlbll Ho Says England Fours Trouble With tlic United Stains. OTTAWA , Out. , Sept. n. A British army ofllcor on his way to Inspect the defences of British Coiumbin says his government in lands to .strengthen theN defences of Canada along the front of the St. Liwronco and great lano.s. and that the ships nnd armament of the Atlantic and Pacific squadrons will bo greatly stronarthoned. < U Halifax , the Brit ish government Is building immense fortlli- cations nt tlio York redoubts nnd on MoNnb's island , at the entrance of the harbor , where two revolving turrets with heavy ordnance will bo eomplotpd by fall. IIo speaks In pretty strong language about the miserly policy of the Dominion government in keep ing up the militia force , which , ho says , could not with their crude arms repel nn Invasion of GreonlandoM. Ho says that the general belief In England Is that trouble with the United States Is inevitable - evitable unless the cause of irritation be tween Canada and the republic Is removed and matters of dispute between the two countries are settled before very IOIIK. The defiant nnd insulting attitude of members of the dominion cnblnot assumed toward tha United States during the recent election campaign is generally deprecated in England. ' \ ory little confidence is placed In executive circles iu England in tlio successful termina tion of tha negotiations , wnich are to open nt Washington on October 12 between the Canadian and United States representatives. As regards the treaty of 1817 between the United States and Great Britain , which if carried out would prevent any demonstra tion on the part of tlio American navy ut the world's fnir tit Chicago , ho believes that Great Britain would remove any oh itaclo bv suspending operations for the time bolng of , ' "f the clause of the treaty which provides that the navy forces of each government on the lakes should bo limited to four vessels.
