AFTICII toduyvo Rhtill all turn from
politics to business.
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.

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.

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.

As ft whole there Is much doubt hero as to
the result of the various stale elections to
morrow. Interest Is , however , Intenslllod by
th-3 doubt. 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.
