NOBODY should bo oloctcd to the city council or school board who has building1 material to soil to city contractors. THE interest in Nebraska's political contest is very great , but it hardly cro nies a , ripple on the national surface in view of the greater consoqnonces depending - pending upon Now York , Ohio and Iowa. SAN PUANCISCO is a little late ahout It but nevertheless earnest in making an attempt to secure ono of the national conventions. Omaha has , of course , the load for the republican meeting , but wo nro for San Francisco for ono of the others. TENNESSEE'S crovornor is out with a proclamation offering a reward of 35,000 for the arrest ana conviction of the loaders of the Bricovillo mob which liberated the state prison convicts em ployed in the mines. A reward of this magnitude is dangerous to the integrity of detectives and witnesses , but it is very dillicult to fix leadership where ! ! ,000 men are either loaders or follow ers. DEAIMVOOD is by all odds the best mining camp In this country at the present - ont time. It is growing in wealth and population. Now ore strikes are an nounced nearly every day. Smelters nnd reducing plants are growing up on all sides and the wonderfully rich min eral regions of the Black Hills are being developed as novel1 boforo. Omaha and Nebraska are Interested in the growth and prosperity of this line region and everything possible should bo done to unite the commercial interests of the two sections. KANSAS CITY not being able to at tract the largo interstate conventions Which meet at stated times gets up moet- iuga of her own. Her commercial con gress last spring was interesting enough to stimulate hot * desire for those meetings - ings ana who has now called a conven tion for December IB nnd 10 to urge upon congress the systematic Improve ment of the Missouri and lower Mississ ippi rival * * . The delegates are to como from the Missouri river and lower Miss issippi states. A democratic house however - over , can not bo expected to favor the improvement of waterways. It costs money and tills democratic house will make Its usual spasmodic olTort at econ omy by cutting otT necessary appropria tions. THE interest that is being manifested in the World's fair by the countries of Central and South America Is regarded us highly encouraging for the recipro city policy. It Is stated that every coun try nnd colony south of the Gulf of Mexico ice and the Rio Grundo lias accepted the invitation and appointed committees in the exposition , and the appro priations by these countries far exceed these made by the states of the United Statea for the same pur pose , AVlth the exception of Illi nois. The sums already npnroprl- ntod range in amount from $20- 000 to $100,000 , and Brazil content- plates expending on her exhibit ever half a. million dollars. The outlay by these countries will amount to several million dollars , nnd their contribution to the fair will bo among ita most tutor- featured , ur ram .VB.IJVS OK row , . The cotnblno of contractors and bood- lors that hnvo lind control of our city nnd county ntlnlrs for the limt two years are determined to hold their grip upon the city and county by fair moans or foul. Nothing short of n cyclone of ballots will dislodge them. They hnvo suc ceeded In capturing the democratic con ventions and foisting upon the democratic party men who nro willing to do their bidding. Now they are i letting to encompass - compass the rupo of the ballot box. By the aid of Mayor Gushing they have packed the election boards and taken possession of the machinery of the elec tion. When the hundred spe cial policemen wore cnllod for Acting Mnyor Tom Lowry capped the climax by selecting as de fenders of tlio purity of the ballot box a job lot of democratic ward heelers. When called oil to (111 ( vacancies on the election boards caused by the disability of some twenty of the 000 judges and clerks appointed by Gushing , Mr. Lowrv lillcd them solid witli OstholT ana Slavln strikers. What does this portend'It is as plain as the no o on a man's face that tlio desperadoes and boodling conspirators * propose to re sort to every device that will prevent a. fair election and an honest count of the ballots. It means that the objects for which the Australian ballot reform was inaugurated are to bo sot at naught. It moans that the ballots of men who can not road will bo fraudulently marked and the ballots of intelligent voters are to bo purposely miscounted. It moans a conspiracy to steal the election by de ception and fraud. That the man at the head of this foul conspiracy are determined to resort , to every means at their command will scarcely bo called in question Such things have boon done by Tatnmanyitcs in Now York and by contractors' and boodlers' rings in Chicago , Cincinnati , San DVancisco and other cities. The only way that such plots against the popular will can be thwarted i& by a firm and determined stand on the part of taxpayers and citizens who believe in the honest rule of majorities , Lot it ho proclaimed from the housetops that election ollicors dotcctcd in tampering with ballots or counting out men who are elected will bo given n very short shift. Lot every good citizen act as a do- tootivo for himself and for all honest voters and denounce on the spot every attempt to cheat voters out of tlioir honest choice. Lot every citizen keep a duplicate of his ballot so that ho can go before any court and testify how ho voted in case an attempt is made to count out men who have received a majority or plur ality of the votes of this city or county. A. HECOllD OF St'LKKIitD SKKVICK. Every farmer in the United States owes a generous measure of gratitude to the administration'of President Harri son for its signal success in obtaining concessions from European governments in the interest of the products of the farm. After nearly ton years of exclu sion the pork products of this country now have free entrance into Ger many , ana there is favorable pro mise that the Gorman government will bo induced to reduce if not to remove the duty on corn , in order to encourage the use of that cereal by its people as a substitute for rye. Franco has kept our hog products out of her markets for a number of years , but she , also , has removed the prohibition , and \\hilo retaining a tariff duty will make such a reduction in it as will enable the American products to compete with the homo products in the French markets. Italy for years maintained a like policy , and that government volun tarily abandoned it , thereby manifesting an unexpected friendliness. All of these concessions have boon secured without impairing in the slightest degree the cor dial relations between the United States and the European countries , nnd they are properly to bo regarded as evidences of a higher respect for this country and u greater desire to cultivate our friendship. They moan an expansion of our foreign commerce to the extent of many millions of dollars annually , and considered in connection with the benefits to bo derived from the reciprocity agreements already ef fected , make n record of valuable ser vice to the agricultural inter ests and the commerce of the country surpassing that of any other ad ministration in our history. Such achievements deserve the hearty ap proval of the American people , and par ticularly of that class most directly bon- olltud , and faith in the popular appreci ation of wise , conscientious and success ful efforts to advance the general wel fare will bo weakened if the elections of tomorrow , at least in iho naturally re publican states , shall fail to attest the popular approval of the Immensely val uable work of the national administra tion. .1 iroOF CM imo.v. The liquor dealers of Omaha had hot ter do n little thinking on their own ac count. It is natural that they should fool friendly to Henry Osthoff who has himself boon n saloon keeper for many years nnd n liberal patron. But their friendship for Osthoff should not carry them away with the idea that his elec tion for mayor would bo of any benefit to them , Quito the contrary. Osthoff's election will reuse the fanat ical and oven the more temporntn ele ment into nn antl-sulooti crusade. In stead of assuring the liquor dealers a free nnd easy policy , the elec tion of Oslhoff would bo followed by agitation to rigidly enforce the bunday laws and midnight closing ordinance , it would Inevitably result in a shower of protests when the liquor dealers die their notices of application for licenses next month , nnd the coin- mission would bo compelled to tnko no tice of these protests nnd carry out the exact letter of the law. AH TO TIIK Vote for the school bonds. Vote for the park bonds. Vote for the city hall bonds. Vote for thu paving and sewer bonds. Vote ugalnst the library bonds. A LAitciKii A.trr A'D. . Whatever may bo the outcome of the Chilian Imbroglio , the attain will not fall to suggest to all thoughtful Ameri cans that the time has como when the United States must have a navy strong enough to defend Its seaports and to command for Its just demands thoro- spoctful consideration of other nations. The fact must bo recognized that this country is no longer In thntstatoof isola tion which has hithortoboen rolled upon to glvo It security against attack , nnd to protect It from the o dangers of interna tional controversy which may result in hostilities. Wo nro n great commercial nation whoso lines of commerce extend to every quarter of the globo. American In terests are widely scattered in two hemis pheres and are constantly expanding. We nro reaching out with greater energy and zeal than ever before for tbo world's trade , and especially for the consumma tion of closer relations with the coun tries of the western hemisphere. The tendency of all this is to in duce us to guard with increasing jealousy what wo claim to bo our prerogatives in this quarter of the glebe , and to assort with greater earnest ness the doctrine proclaimed three-quar ters of a century ago respecting Euro pean Interference and influence in this hemisphere. It is inevitable that as wo advance along the lines now being pur sued wo shall encounter the dangers that have boon mot by every progressive nation. Our growing greatness and power is already regarded with envy by European nations. Within n year it has been seriously proposed to form a commer cial alliance antagonistic to the United States. As wo make progress in wrest ing from Europe the trade of this hemi sphere it is by no means improbable that at some time the nations of the old world may form a political compact having for Its object the arrest of our advance toward the ultimate complete domination of this hemisphere. But if it bo deemed not worth while to prepare for so remote an exigency , it is well to boar in mind that our government is liable at any time to bo involved in an international issue of n serious nature. Illustrations are sup plied by the controversy with Italy arising out of the Now Orleans affair nnd by the unlocked for Chilian difficulty. The chances of such troubles will in crease with the extension and growing importance of our international rela tions. A good beginning has boon made in the creation of a navy , and the j'ldicious ' policy should bo adhered to until the country has a naval estaolishmont ade quate for defense and which will iiiburo for our just demands the respectful con sideration of the strongest nations , it should never bo the policy of the United States to invite or provoke hostilities with any country , small or great , but wo should bo prepared to enforce our rights wherever and by whomsoever as sailed. THE progress of civil service reform under the present administration has not met with the unqualified approval of tno radical reformers , and that was not to have boon expected , but there is every reason to believe that before the term of the administration ends it will have made a record in this direction far surpassing that of any urcccding admin istration , if indeeu such credit docs not already belong to it. It is announced that the president has decided to re form the character of competitive ex aminations. Ho has como to the con clusion , and it is unquestionably a wise ono , that the examinations are too academic , and not sufficiently practical , and ho proposes to remove this defect by such n change of the character of examinations as will give to them a more business-like application , can didates being examined with as much regard for the practical knowledge of the business with which they will have to do as with the scholarship. This is common sense , and its application will remove ono or ttu > chief * objections to the civil service reform policy , as well as secure to the government service a more useful class of employes. HUNHY EmtKNTFOiiT , assessor of the First ward , wants to bo ro-oleotod. Last winter ho spoilt most of his time as n lobbyist at Lincoln to defeat the assessor bill and succeeded In imposing upon the independents who wore made to bollovo that ho was n true anti-monopolist , when in fact ho had annual and trip passes on the railroads and had made himself solid with the franchised corporations who have property in the First ward. The Electric Lighting company was assessed at $1,300 when tlio concern is capitalized at $100,000 , whllo the small property holders nro assessed at nbout one-fourth of the market value of their little houses nnd lots. Ehronpfort hns no claim upon anybody except the millionaires nnd corporations for ro-elootion. THK mnn with the hair-trigger jaw , Assistant City Attorney Shoemaker , "ordered" the election ollicors of the Eighth provlnot , Fourth ward , to reg ister n do on graders temporarily abid ing in tents and working for Contractor O'lvooffo. Upon what moat does this great Shoemaker food that ho should arrogate to himself the authority to Issue orders to election ollicors in the city'/ When the graders offer their votes they should bo challenged and compelled to sign affidavits of residence. They will probably hesitate to bravo the dangers of line and Imprisonment for illegal voting. IN voting upon the various bond propositions it should bo remembered that two-thirds of nil the votes cast upon any ono of the propositions is required to make the bonds legal. THE Impression has gone forth that there is a job in the proposed purchase of park grounds. Reports are out that as high as $ Mo nu nero hns been figrcod upon for ivTargo portion of the lands. This ls.uat.truo. The highest 1 price allowed foe any trnct Is $1,000 per ncro and most of0the hind ranges In price from $600'Wflo 8900 per ncro. It Is doubtful whether-wo shall ever bo able to buy land for pju'ha cheaper. If wo nro ever to have a'chalu of parks nnd boulevards the Ihml should bo acquired now. ' "ii COUNTY Aufirrjbu EVANS' statement of receipts antfoxponditurcs of the bridge bond sfnldng fund would hnvo boon far more vlilimblo to the public If It had not boon so long in Incubation. The $12,000 deficit is still unexplained not withstanding the balancing of the books by the auditor. The details are needed to make It clear that the bridge bond sinking fund has boon honestly nnd legnlly expended. Do NOT fail to vote against the lib rary bonds. It Is not safe or prudent to accept a gift with n string tied to It. The conditions on which the lot on the corner of Nineteenth and Harnoy Is to bo donated cannot bo complied with by the oily. Any ono of the heirs may contest - test the title and compel the city to pay for the lot. Tin : Omaha free kindergarten associ ation is all organized charity deserving of the substantial support of the com munity. Its public meeting n Young Men's Christian association hall Thurs day evening should attract a very largo attendance of persons interested in be nevolent enterprises and kindergarten instruction. ANY judge or clerk of election who changes the marks made by any voter upon any ballot or deceives any voter who is not able to road or who fraud ulently counts votes given for ono candi date for his opponent commits a peniten tiary offense and should bo prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Tin : BEE cheerfully admits that Police Judge Patrick King of South Omaha has credentials as a lawyer from Iowa , but ho has no record as a prac- tioner in our courts while J. W. Ellor , his opponent , is qualified for the posi tion of county judge by long years of practice in Nebraska. IT is to bo hoped that the still hunt being made against Henry Bolln , repub lican candidate for city treasurer , will not succeed. Mr. ' Bolln is n very capa ble man and his integrity hnsnovor been called in question. There is no reason why any republican should bolt his nom ination. EYKRY voter shbuld keep a duplicate of his ballot with the names of each candidate markedVxaotly as ho votes it. This precaution | s absolutely essential to prevent the counting out of men who are honestly elected. EVKUY voter shquld see to it that at least two of the judges of election place their names on the back Of his ballot. A failure of the judges to do this makes the ballot void under the Australian law. A WKONQ impression has gone out concerning the competency of Theo. Olsen to fill the olllco of comptroller. Mr. Olson is a first class accountant and thoroughly qualified for the placo. A UEWAHD of S.JO for the arrest of any election ollicor guilty of violating the election laws is offered by the republi can committees. This will have a whole some and restraining effect. is hero and the contract for excavating on the postoilico site is not yet awarded. It will bo 1892 before a shovelful of earth is lifted. CHAITBNOKKS should see to it that at least two judges place their names on the back of every ballot deposited.

The republicans tool sure that McK'Inlcy will bo the next governor of Ohio. It must bo admitted , however , thnt democratic confidence In Campbell's reflection has boon somewhat strengthened by reports of his efforts during tlio past row days , and the rumors of donls affecting the legislature , which Is oven more important than the covernorshlp Democratic conll- donee has been also strengthened by reports ' that the war against their candldnto'has boon patched up to a degree at Cincinnati. Ohio Is regarded as Iho only state which has , to n very largo degree , waged n campaign on national Issues. For some days the Impression has been gaining that Flower would beat Fnssott in Now York nnd the sporting men hnvo boon offering odds of $100 to $75 In favor of the democratic cun- didato. Flower's wonderful generosity In iho distribution of nnta-olcction ducats is what has invigorated confidence In him to- tretlior with the belief that Tammany and the County democracy nro working together once mo ro. It is bolluvud that Flower has spent $500,000 In his campaign. Republicans concede that the outlook In Pennsylvania is doubtful as the Issues there are purely local and so complicated us to bo highly personal. The pri'sonco of Mr. Cleveland at Hoston today is taken , hero or there , as an indication that Ktisscll , the democratic candidate , needs outside assistance , and has sent for him. Republican conllJonco in the ability of Wheeler to defeat Doles in Iowa has boon strengthened by tele grams from Senator Allison and other dis tinguished republicans on the stump there , all of whom declare that prohibition is not the absorbing question and tbo farmers nro In line again for their llrst love , although so general is the doubt in the minds of men hero that very little money has been wagered on the result , nnd there has boon nuu'h talk of anticipated .surprises. The president will receive the rotuins over his oxecutlvo man sion wire tomorrow night , when Washington will bo nwaiio nearly nil night to hoar the result. No surprise will bo expressed If Soototary Dialno announces ono of thcso days that ho has succesifullv negotiated for the purchase of an Island in the South Pacitic ns o naval coaling station , handy to Chili and other obstreperous South American countries. Wo tmvo no coaling point any where near Chili now. Cor respondence-looking towards such a pur chase lias been in progress for some time and the secretary is now reviewing tbo onttro subject with n vlow to seeing what island Is available in case of emergency. The Falkland islands give Croat Britain a coaling station within Jour days of Chill and Great Britain has other islands not much farther -off but the United States io entirely without coaling stations in the Paeilic waters. This has the practical effect of shutting out United States vessels from South American waters. In the correspondence whien the State de partment has had tbo desire lias been to seeuro an island In the Gulf of Pan ama or at some point about equal distant bo- twcim North and Soutn America. - The little island nt 'iobega in the Gulf of Panama can bo secured for almost notbiag. Quito a flutter of excitement ran1 through the Stato. War and iN'avy denartments today when It was learned that Senor Monti , the Chilian minister , was In conference with Secretary Tracy. These departments ore all under ono great roof and the tbroo secretaries ara located on ono floor. The conference to excitable Individuals looked like war. After the conference the Chilian minister went over to the Stnto de partment with Secretary Tracy and the three were together for a time. It was learned later that Senor Montt was about leaving the city for a week at Now Orleans and that ho was simply inquiring ' quiring about the details of the ropo'rt of Captain Sehloy of the Baltimore who in vestigated the attack upon our seamen in the streets of Valparaiso , and that ho wished to ask for further time in which the authorities at the Chilian port may make further in quiries and report upon the afluir in question. The departure of Senor Montt for a week's absence Indicates that there will bo no de velopments of importance during that time , and as stated some days ago in these dispatches , further stops In the direction ot peace orwnr will not bo taken soon. Tucro is much indignation in otliciul circles ever the outrazos upon our sea men by the onlcers ut Valparaiso as described by Cuptaln Sehlov , and President Harrison and Secretary Blaine will bo strongly sup ported by public opinion hero In the position they have assumed. * # Assistant Secretary Chandler today reversed his decision of the general land ofllco in the rcliniuishmcnt ) case of Asa Buttmnn against Krastns Barrister , from the North Platte land ofllco , and Buttman's ' right is rocogni/.ed as superior.
