IT is deplorable but nevertheless true
that n majority of the candidates nomi

The train freighted with the products
of Nebraska1 ! * soil h speeding eastward ,
and its progress from point to point
along the route U marked by a steadily
increasing popular Interest. In Illi
nois thousands saw and wondered at the
splendid exhibit , learning therefrom
moro of the resources and capa
bilities of Nebraska than they had
over before heard or conceived
of. In Indiana greater numbers
visited the exposition on wheels
and marveled at the display. People
who had only hoard of this state , but
know nothing of its exceptional agricul
tural characlor , were astonished that so
far from what they doom tbo center of
civilization there Is grown the Ilnost
corn in the world , sugar boots that are
not boatt-n anywhere on the globe , fruits
tlmt uro excellent , and other products
of the soil that compare favorably with
these of any section of the coun
try. But it remained for Ohio
to show the greatest honor to Nebras
ka's exhibit. It is Ktatcd that when
the train reached Van Wort , a thriving
town in a prosperous agricultural portion
tion of Ohio , it was found that the
townspeople had made the occasion xa
general holiday. Business was .sus
pended , nearly everybody was as
sembled at the station to give greeting
and welcome to the western visitors ,
and the utmost Interest and en
thusiasm were manifested. It was
perhaps a novel oxpori.jnco for that sec
tion , but however that may bo Nebraska
is better known there now than over
before , and it will not bo surprising if
that portion of Ohio soon furnishes some
additions to the population of Neb aska.
The wisdom of sending out this train
of Nebraska's products has already
boon amply justified , ind yet
it has gone over only a small
part of the projected journey. Al
ready perhaps not loss than 300,000
people , by personal observation and
other ways of information , hnvoobtained
a Knowledge of the superior soil and
climate of Nebraska that they did not
posjscss before , and which they could not
have so well secured in any other way ,
except by visiting the state. The
train of cereals and fruits and
other .products is an object lesson
as to the resources and capabilities of
Nebraska moro useful than volumes of
writing and statistics , which are always
taken with some allowance * There is
no exaggeration in the pioducts exhib
ited in these cars , no chance for a doubt
that they arc go nut no. They speak for
themselves , and the eastern farmers
who comnaro them with like
products of their own section will
have no dilliculty in deter
mining the relative merits. Thus far
the Nobrasca train has had most grati
fying success , and it is reasonable to expect -
pect tlmt its journey eastward will bo
equally and perhaps oven moro trium
phant. There should bo greater inter
est , exhibited in Now Kngland to see the
products of the west than in the middle
states. It is not to bo doubted that the
ontorpribo will prove prolltablo to Ne
braska.
Aits A DA\ :
Under the Australian ballot law the
city of Omaha has been platted into
eighty-eight voting precincts. .Each
of these polling places is to have seven
judges and clerks of election , making in
all G ( ! election ollicials. At $0 a day ,
which certainly is very liberal pay ,
these judges and clerks of election would
cost the taxpayers of Omaha city $3,750
or about three times as much as wo have
over paid for the privilege of
any-previous election. But the politi
cal heelers and ward politicians
do not propose to lot us oil so easy.
There are to bo three elections in ono
on the third of November wo are to
vole for btato and county ollleerb , for
city o Ulcers and city bonds and members
of the Board ot Education and school
bond propositions. Thibwill necessitate
the U--0 of throe or four ballot boxes at
each' polling place. Wo understand
that the legal advisors of our city and
county are of opinion that the law con
templates tlio payment of SO to each
clorlc andjudgo of election out of the
county treasury , $0 out of the city
treasury and $0 out of the
school fund S18. In other words
for ono day's work to each of the
0-0 judges and clorka of election. Just
think of it , oightnon dollars a day !
Will taxpayers submit to such down
right robbery ?
Will any election olllcor have the
audacity to claim eighteen dollars for a
iliiy'n service ? Wo venture to say that
three thousand competent mon are will
ing to servo for six dollars a day if they
could only got the oar of the city coun
cil and commissioners.
AN K&COUHA'HXd OUTLOOK.
Trustworthy advices from Iowa ppoik
most encouragingly of iho republican
prospects. Within the past week the
campaign on the part of the republi
cans has become moro aggressive , and
there has been everywhere an tui'r- '
munted attendance at their meetings.
The farmers , having a loss urgent demand -
mand upon their time than when their
crops were to bo cared for , are enabled
to"1 give moro attention to poli
tics , and the information is that
they have never bofoio shown greater
interest in political affairs. The fact
that Iho republican inoetingB are being
much moro largely attended than at the
earlier stage of the campaign Is very
significant of the sentiment of the agri
cultural element. It is to bo presumed
that they were not altogether IndllTor-
out to what was going on oven while
much of their tlmo was occupied by thu
demands of their growing and
ripened crops. They were reading
the political discussions and weighing
their worth in their own practical , com
mon eonso way , and now that they are so
far relieved of the pressure of personal
concerns as to bo able to show on which
side they stand , the ovldouco is that the
very largo majority of them still adhere
to republican principles and policy.
It Is entirely natural that as intelli
gent and discriminating citizens they
should do so. The democratic party
promlbos no bonoflta or advantages
that would warrant them in tiifns-
forrlng their support to it. That party
talks of giving relief from tariff burdens
without being able to show that tiny
ewch burdens exist , and In face of the
fact that nearly all the necessaries af
fected by the tartIT nro cheaper now
than they were a year ago. It is pledged
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver , which would speedily reduce the
currency of the country to the single sil
ver standard , drlvo gold out of circula
tion , diminish the purchasing power of
the dollar , demoralize the llnanclal sys
tem , and Impair the credit of the gov
ernment. The thrifty farmers of Iowa
do not deslro to exchange their products
for a depreciated dollar , and as honest
mon they have no wish to pay their
debts with such a currency. They know
that the economic and financial policy of
the republican party has boon vlndlcatod
by results , that the nropnesy of
evils to result from it has utterly failed ,
and standing at the threshold of what
promises to bo an era ol unprecedented
prosperity , they will not turn their backs
upon the political party that has done
moro during the last quarter of a cen
tury for the material progress of the
country than was done by all the parties
in all the previous years of our history.
The favorable prospect of republican
success in Iowa may bo expected to
grow brighter as the day of election
draws near. There have recently boon
a few defections of moro or less promi
nent individuals which have had u
stimulating olTcot upon democratic hopes ,
but. it is not certain that these persons
control any votes but their own. At
any rate they can doubtless bo spared.
The obvious duty of the republican
leadciH , and they appear to fully appro-
cmjo this , is to keep up to die end a
vigorous and aggressive light.
TIIK Uliri Of SKlt
There are twenty-seven gentlemen in
the Hold for oouncilman-at-largo ; fifteen
for justices of the peace , and fifteen for
members of the Board of Education.
These gentlemen appeal'to the city at
largo for votes. The question of ward
boundaries does not enter into the can
vass.
The purpose of the law in providing
that these ollicos shall bo filled by the
electors of the entire city instead of by
wards and districts is to prevent the
election of ward bummers to important
positions. It was the theory of the leg
islature that the people generally would
make bettor selections than the wards
or districts , and therefore men of bad
copulation and want of business integ
rity would not bo so likely to get into
the council and Board of Education and
cost mills would not bo created where
justices' ollices are needed.
To iv certain extent this wise purpose
of the law has boon nullified , and wo
permit the wards to select their
nominees for oouncilmon-at-large. It is
dilllcult to bring the conventions to any
other theory of selection because
ono ward delegation may trade with all
the lost and so a combine bo formed pre
venting the entire convention from pas
sing upon the individual merits of can
didates for the council. It is not so easy
to nominate members of the Board of
Education and justices in this way because -
cause the number to bo elected does not
conform to Iho number of wards in the
city.
city.At
At the polls , however , the people maybe
bo governed by the spirit of the Inw ,
and they should absolutely refuse to con
sider ward boundaries. A bad man
should bo defeated no matter what ward
ho comus from. It is the duty
of every citizen to make spec
ial inquiry into the relative
qualifications of all the candidates for
all these ollicos. In the performance of
their duties these officers touch the people
ple very closely , in their hands are en
trusted' individual and collective inter
ests of great importance. No man .should
bo permitted to go into the council who
is cither dishonest or incompetent. No
man should bo elected a member of tbo
Board of Education who is not by nature
and training a gentlonvin , incorruptible
and fully In sympathy with our system
of public schools. No man should bo
elected a justice of the pbaco whom it
would bo unsafe ! or unwise to trust with
any private or public duty where good
sense , integrity and some knowledge
of law are required. These several of-
ficcti too frequently regarded as of minor
importance must not bo overlooked by
voters. With the mon who are elected
this.von r to these positions the public
will bo obliged to leave interests which
touch both public and private pros-
polity. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
COJ.ONKI * CAitsoNof the Philadelphia
- e ( ) ' ; < . > , who is keeping close watcn of
the Ohio campaign and studying popu
lar sentiment in that state , writes to his
paper regarding the senatorial issue
that while Forakor is popular as n stump
speaker ho has not that hold upon iho
people which John Sherman has.
no thinks if the senatorial
succession could bo dooided by
popular vote Shormau would receive -
coivo 00 per cent of the republican
vote against all comers , and just now , in
view of the democratic declaration on
silver , Colonel Carson believes ho
would receive 7o per cent of the ontlro
vote of the stato. The trouble Is that
these chosen to the legislature do not
always carry out the popular will , and
there are mon running for the legislature
in districts where the popular suntlmont
is for Sherman who will vote for For-
akor. It is albo said that there are can
didates pledged for Sherman who will
vote for Forakor. It is this unfortunate
situation of affairs that renders uncer
tain the result of the legislative elec
tion , though Colonel Carson thinks
the chances favor thu republicans ,
by reason of the strength of
McKinloy. It would seem to bo
a safe prediction that if the
next legislature ot Ohio is republican
Senator Sherman will bo his own suc
cessor , for the party in Ohio would
hardly rotlro him against the almost
unanimous deslro of the republicans of
the rest of the country that ho be con
tinued in the senate. It is unquestion
able that all republicans , except the Ohio
supporters of Forakor , would regard the
retirement of Sherman from the sonata
as a mlbfortuno to the country.

The fact that the attendance at Iho west

101 delegates suggests tbo idea that semi
annual sessions of this congress uro not ad
visable. The subjects to ho conslilorcd are ,
it is true , verv important , but , it is not likely
that they will tluvelop any now features in
the course of six months. The delegates at
presei't at Omaha como chiefly from the west ,

the transtmssissippi region , and It may bo
expected that the southern session will bo

Is in Itself an object of soml-aanual sessions.

Governor Doles ot Iowa has thought best
to deny that ho knows anything about an
intention of the democratic party to
"Mlcbliramzo" thai stata If it gams con
trol of the legislature at the election
next month. Unfortunately Governor Doles
cither docs not Unow all the designs of bis
party or else ho finds it convenient to shut
bisoyoitoits Intentions. The purpose ot
thu democrats to gerrymander that state and
then change the law so that presidential
electors will bo chosen by districts has been
openly proposed , If the testimony of trust
worthy men Is worth anything. And Gov
ernor Boles hinuolf has not shown during
his administration that ho is made of the sort
of fiber noceisary to stand up against nay
proposed rascality of his party. The way to
prevent all danger of Iowa being "Aliehlsan-
ucd" Is to defeat the "MichlganUlng"
democrats. And from the indications the
Jowa pcoplo propose to adopt the only safe
course.

weakness wrought by the success of Incom

An Incompetent olllcor is a source of dostruc-

Thuro Is plenty of Important bur.inoss to
occupy Mr. Dlalna ns soon ns ho takes hold
of the affairs at the State department. Un
doubtedly the first thing will bo to consider
the treaty of reciprocity with Venezuela , A
treaty was nrrangod some tlmo ago nnd
ngrced to by the Vcnouclnn minister here ,
but was rejected by the homo government.
Minister Scruggs , our representative In Von-
nzuola arrived here jestordnv with n draft
of n now treaty In hli pocket which hn knows
will bo accoptntilo to Vonciualn ns It was
formally approved by the lending officials of
that country before no loft thmv. Other re
ciprocity treaties with southern countries
nro pending and will now bo brought to an
hiuo H is posslblo that iho ono with Colum
bia will bo among the llrst to bavo attention
after that of Vauezuelu.
Our Chlnusa relations are somewhat precarious -
carious nnd It la oxpeutod that Mr. lllalno
will at once take n hand In solving the trou
bles which that country Is having with the
United States , Great Britain and Germany
ever iho ill treatment ot cltl/ons of these
countries residing In China. Tha Chilian
complication Is out of the wav so far us tbo
diplomacy Is concerned , although it vet 10-
malns to give n formal recognition to iho
now government. Minister l agan Is re
garded as quite secure In his position as ho
lias the pel sonal friendship of Mr. Ulalno.
United States Senator Hnnsbrough of
South Dakota Is lieio and says the two Da-
katasre strong for President Harrison and
his administration.
lion , Cornelius N. Hliss , the well known
Now York republican atul ono of the most
level-headed mon In the country , is here nnd
says : "Tho nomination of Mr. Fussott for
covernor was a good 0110. The party Is united
and Mr. Fasselt Is making an nctlvo nnd
brilliant campaign. Ha is young , capable
and popular and our folks are very confident
of his election. I' mi party Is in excellent
condition. Now Vork is a close state
and the change of comparatively few
votes is sunicicnt to otmngo the
tosult. I make no predictions , but
certainly everything looks promising for
Fnssott. The indlnuions are that there will
bo n very heavy republican vote In the state
and Flower must have a very largo majority
in the city to overcome it. On the other
hand , I bcllovo Tammany will lese many
votes In the cltv. The question Is , Muill Tam
many control Now York politics , and do not
think tbo people shall consent that Tammany
rulo.
James H. Austin , a clerk In the sixth aud
itor's ofllco , n few davs ago sent to Auditor
( Toultor a letter in which ho sots forth that
ho was a bollovor in the religious doctrine
that tliu seventh duv Instead of the first Is
the scriptural Sabbath and that ho had con
scientious scruples against working on Sat
urday. Ho asked If some arrangement could
bo made by which ho could bo loliovod from
service on tlmt day. Auditor Coulter cnuld
not sou his way clear to accede to the request
and ofllcially rofened tl'o leUor to Secretary
Foster. The secretary wus In u Ilko quan
dary and ( n turn r-jfi-ricd the letter
to Assistant Secretary Crounso who
Is a peed Picsbytctlnn und asked him to 10-
port , which ho did today. Judge Ciounso
sujs that in his opinion the department can
not unnngo usual days of labor to accommo
date itself to this man's religious belk-1. Ho
oxpiosscd the opinion that the Mosaic law is
obsolotonnd that f Mr. Austin's conscience
smites himself so aoverolv that ho cannot bo
at bis desk on Saturday thoio is no way for
him but to resign , The Judge thinks there
will bo no difllculty in lining the vaeanov.
Ho says ho has the utmost respect for Mr.
Austin's religious opinions , but the govern
ment cannot give him full pay for tivo days
served each week , nor can it keen the treas
ury open on Sunday to permit him to work
on that day. H Is not llkoly that Austin will
resign.
