lown'a governor Is unqucstlomibl ,
growing in favor as a possible candldnti
for the vice presidency noxl year. I
his position In the atlontion of the dome
entile party mny fairly bo judged by th
prefcruntjo expressed for him as a viri
presidential candidate by nearly 10
democratic members of the Fifty
second congress , tlioro can bo m
doubt that ho is at this time tin
first choice of a very largo ma
jorlty of tlio parly for the second placi
on tlio ticket of 1802. There are semi
who think Governor Boies would bo at
available mini for the presidency , bu
ho will hardly llguro as a possibility foi
the prosidenUnl nomination unless tin
conllii'tof factions in New York sliouli
compel the national convention to g <
elsewhere for a candidate. In that cas <
the chances of Governor llolos wouli
undoubtedly bo very strong , bettor
perhaps , than those of any othoi
man , for becoming the standard bcaroi
of thn democracy in the next national
contest. Neither Kussoll of Massachu
setts Gorman of Maryland , ljaltison ol
Pennsylvania , Campbell of Ohio , noi
Gray of Indiana could present iw strong
claims to tlio favor of the convention a-
Boies on strictly political grounds ,
while in the soundness of his democracy ,
and perhaps also in ability , ho is the
poor of any of them.
But there is little reason tc
doubt , from the present indica
tions , that Mr. Cleveland will again
bo the candidate of his party for presi
dent. A safer judgment regarding this
may bo formed after the result of thu
epoakorship light , which , as It stands , la
a clearly defined'contest of Cleveland
and anti-Cleveland elements , but ap
pearances point to the triumph of tno
former in the election of Mills. Conced
ing the nomination of Mr. Cleveland ,
tlio convention will certainly select
a western man for tlio second
place , and Boies would easily load
all rivals. Indeed , tlioro appears to
bo but ono other thought of for second
place , ex-Governor Gray of Indiana ,
and about nil of his support is in his
own state. It is known that ho would
not bo acceptable to Mr. Cleveland , and
it is said tlioro are substantial objec
tions to him on th < 3 score of qualifica
tions. At any rate , ho lias no such
standing and prestige with the party
as Governor Boies , and tlioro could bo
no doubt of'tho result of a contest be
tween them in the national convention.
Boies would carry ever thing before him.
It is of course possible that Governor
Boies does not desire to bo a candidate
for vice president. Ho may have set his
maik higher , and knowing how very
small the chance of promotion is ho
might decline to ha/.ard it. Governor
Boies is not known to have slid any
thing on the subject , and nn ono has
spoken for him. But it is altogether
probable that if the nomination should
como to him ho would not reject it.

The international congress to consider
the emigration problem , which has junt
concluded its deliberations in Paris , hns
contributed at least one vlow that mny
have some weight with the American
congress when the subject of further
regulating Immigration is brought to
its attention. The representative of the
United State ? at the Paris conference ,
who was merely authori'/.ecl to take
note of the proceedings and had
no active part in the deliberations ,
states that the consensus of opinion
among the members of the congress
favored consular inspection of emigrants
leaving Europe for the United Statos.
Nothing is said as to any suggestion of
plans as to how such inspection could bo
made most effective , and it does not
appear from the information at
hand whether the difficulties in
the way of thorough and trust
worthy consular inspection were dis
cussed , but it miibt bo assumed
that a congress composed of some of tlio
representative statesmen of Kuropo
would not overlook any of these things
necessary to bo considered in order to
urrivo at an intelligent opinion.
Tlio expediency of consular inspec
tion of emigrants received considera
tion in the last congress in connection
with a comprehensive measure provid
ing for this among other regulations ,
nnd the plan was not regarded
with general favor. The princi
pal objection to it is that it
would not bo practicable for our
consuls to obtain trustworthy informa
tion regarding emigrants without add
ing very greatly to tlio expense of the
service , and that without the honest co
operation of the foreign authorities the
Inspection by our consuls would amount
to little. It is evident that European
provincial and municipal governments
lowiring to got rid of their objectionable
jlassos could very easily impose upon
Diir consuls , and It is altogether probable
Ilia t some of thorn would do so. Neverthe
less It is obviously possible that sooner or
utur recourse will have to ho had to a
emulation of this kind , under some ar-
nngomont with European governments
yhlcli will insure a fair measure of su-
uirity against such practices as have
joon in vogue , and still are to some ox-
, ont , for relieving the old world of
irlminals and paupers by shipping theme
, o the now.
Our representative at the Paris emi
gration congress Is quoted as saying
hat tlio evil at the root of
ill the frauds practiced are the
nnlgratlon agents. The agents of the
itoamship companies and the compa-
lies themselves are disposed to respect
easonablo regulations , but the Irrospon-
ilblo follows who drum for emigrants ,
> orhaps at so much per head , are
vholly indifferent to all regulations. In
ho opinion of our rop.-oiontatlvo an in-
poctor should accompany every emi
grant ship , mixing with those on board
ind finding out as inuoh as possible about
horn. But in order to give this plan
my value there would have to bo
ni absolutely honest co-operation
in the ' part of u , ship's otll-
lors. Otherwise nothing would bo moro
iasy than to put emigrants on their
fuard und thus render Impotent thu
ilTorts ot the inspector. Manifestly the
inly reliable security against undo-
irable immigrants is to maintain a rigid
nspoelton at our own ports and ulong
lur frontiers , and to relentlessly enforce
ho penalties ugalust steamship com-
I panics which bring over any of tin
1 classes of imm'grants ' excluded by ott
laws.

Omnha business men are neither liz : ;
nor IndilToront to Iho welfare of the city
They are busy and possibly lacking it
public spirit , Wo are passing througl
u season which Inn tried the btistno *
skill of our wealthiest men and kop
many a clti'/.on on the ragged edge o
doubt as to the future. Individual :
whoso icsources hnvo hitherto boot
ample , and whoso prospects a few year :
ago were decidedly bright for the no
eumulntion of an independent fortune
have found it very dilllcult to steer cleai
of breakers during thi3 period of busi
ness depression ; These things have noi
tnmlo men moro sollish , but they have
compelled them to dovole their atten
tlou to their private alTairn , and
kept them from participating in inuvo'
incuts moro or less expensive , whicli
would benefit tlio public particularly ,
and the individual only in a general way ,
The present prospect is so much iiiv
proved and tlio promise of the immedi-
dlato future is sulllciently encouraging
to warrant careful business men in mi'
ticlpating the commercial prosporlt.v
which conditions make reasonably ear
t.iIn. Wo mny expect , therefore , that
meetings and movements for the benefit
of the state tit largo will attract greater
attention. Wo liav.o a right to suppose
that bankers , merchants , manufacturers
und capitalists of all clas.ioi will mani
fest their restored confidence by in
creased activity in public and prlva'tc
enterprises.
Wo regret to sny that Omaha's repu
tation for enterprise so widespread and
accepted is duo almost solely to tno
newspapers of the city. As a mat
ter of fact , the uowipapaiM orig
inate every movement for tlio ad
vertising of our resources and
for attracting capital and Industries.
It tnKos no end of drumming and agita
tion on the part of the press to bring the
p&oplo into organized effort , ami often
nothing whatever results from weeks of
discussion , although the people may
admit the fores of every argu
ment advanced. This is illustrated
in the fiasco with * which the
effort for the Montana railroad excursion
was attended. For weeks TIIK Bun has
striven to awaken some interest in the
importance of securing for Onialia itbuet
sugar factory to bo the nucleus of tlio
refineries and factories of the future
which shall localize the boot sugar
business at Omaha. Thus far
not a single practical stop hns
been taken toward accomplishing
this desirable purpose. Tlioro nro
scores of instances to which the news
papers can point where urgent upocals
to our business organizations to do some
thing for the upbuilding of Omaha have
utterly failed to arouse enthusiasm
enough to mnko even a fceblo effort
toward realization
The time hus como for plain talk. TllK
BlJE desires to say that unless our busi
ness men arouse themselves and go to
work for this city , rivals will capture
trade which belongs to iw and the pros
perity which has attended Omaha
through the last ton yours will
jccomo largely a reminiscence.
Wo have reached a point
in our history when wo will cithar ston
growing or take on now life. Wo con
trol our own destiny. Omaha can bo a
city of 1200,000 in five years if our citi-
/.on& will do their duty this xvintor. She
will lose her grip and struggle along in
i despairing way , Incrglng behind her
enterprising competitors , unless wo make
good use of opportunities now pre
sented.
THE sympathy of the civilized world
will bo deeply touched by tha misfor
tunes which have overtaken Cyrus W.
Field in the closing days of hia eventful ,
honorable and eminently useful life a
lifo that may have passed from the mor
tal to the immortal existence before
these lines are printed. The death of
his wife and the critical illness of his
almost . - the .
laughter p.-ostratod venor.i-
blo man , but those were bearable bur-
Jens , because they must come to all in tlio
20111-30 of nature , in comparison with the
knowledge that the son in whom ho hud
ill of a father's pride had put a stain
upon tlio hitherto untarnished family
namo. T.hat was the blow that no
Dhilosophy or fontitudo could parry , and
under its terrible shock the great man
ivho had overcome dilllculties which
seemed Insurmountable to other men ,
ivhcuo indomitable courage and por-
iiftonco joined the old and the now
ivorlds together with a bond which the
.ides and storms of old ocean cannot
( over , foil to rise no more. Sul : , in-
leed , is such an onUing of a lifo which
iccomplishod so much for the benefit of
nnnkind , and which during all of its
eng span of moro than throu score and ,
on years has boon blameless before the
vorld.
Tim frequency of train robberies
occntly suggests the existence of an
irgnnizod band whoso depredations are
iarofully planned , qulto probably upon
nformatioii from sources closely con-
iccted with the express companies. It
vill be remembered that a short tlmo
igo there was discovered an organized
tand to rob United States mail boxes ,
nombors of which operated in cities
vldely separated. It required long
ind diligent work by the special
igonts of the government to ferret out
his gang , and when this was done it was
ound that the robbers worked upon an
ntolligont systom. It is by no means
mprobable that there is a similar or
ganization for train robbing , and that
ts operations are carriojl on systoimitl-
ally , upon accurate knowledge of the
looty to 1)0 scoured , and under conditions

WASHINGTON- . c , Doc. 1. [ Special to
TUB HBB.J President Harrison's moa-ingo to
congress will probably bo delivered to Hint
body on next Tuesday , burring incidents nnd
accidents , Congress convenes on tlio Hist
Monday In Docoinber of ouch your , but it has
been the custom for tlio president not to send
lib message till the second day or the session ,
ni the ( Irst dny Is consumed in organisation.
About , 1,000 copies of the message will bo
sent to congress. It will ho printed
In lonir primer typo , loaded. It will
bo printed on heavy calendared
paper nnd put together with stool
rivets und bound In heavy papor. Copies of
the message will DO luld upon the desk of
each senator and representative just before
the reading clerk iji'glns to wad tlio mossneo ,
so that It may ho optional vvith tlio legis
lators whether they got the information in
the message by Intoning to the reading or by
retiring from the hall of the snmito or house
and perusing the copy individually. The
larsc majority of both houses prefer to listen
to the reading of the message , as It Is much
easier to comment on and dlgeslation can
como naturally by that process.
This miMsngo 6f the president is expected
to bo unusually longthy. lioaidos a strin
gency in the money market , which has boon
felt throughout the country , there have been
complicated diplomatic negotiations in pro
gress and extensive reciprocity work dono.
These will require much space In the mes
sage. Tliero nro a , great many questions the
president will have to treat , and many
recommendations will bo necessary upon the
facts which the ohlof executive will recite.
Then tbo United States is on the threshold
ot uu important political campaign , nnd
overvt > ody naturally demands the fullest
possible information and opinion.
How It Is Compiled.
The manner In which the president com
piles ami distributes his message is interest-
in IT. As has boon stated in these dispatches ,
the president has been at worlt by snnti-hos
UDOII his message since the early purl of la.nt
summer. Even while ho was nt Capo May
during the hunted term ho jotted down
Ills ideas upon various subjects w hi rh h
intended to treat in his message. Ho
wrote sentences and paragraphs upon piece
of napur of all sizes and character wbouovc
a subjectcntorort his mind , mm these wor
collected upon copy hooks till the presidon
was ready to begin the work of putting hi
message in form. Callers on the prosidon
during the past two months have Uoubtlos
observed two or more little stool copy hook
upon the proildentlal desk , nnd they have
most of the tluio boon almost lull of smal
hits of white copy paper torn from tablets.
The president had unon each bit of pspo
some idea which ho intended to aovcloo ii
his message , ana ns far as possible the Idea
was jotted down in the exact language dc-
sirod. About three or four weeks ago the
president emptied nis desk of these things
J'hcro was no order in the treatment ol the
subjects. After clearing his copy hooks of an
additional lot of slips ho classlliod them
putting all the subjects together. Them ho
went over the entire collection of memoranda
and began to put'them definitely together
At his leisure moments ho "Ulled In" other
subjects under a general classification which
gave the embryo message form. Two wets !
ago ho turned the copy over to a trusted type
writer in his private olllce , so that the entire -
tire mass could bo copied into collective
form.
Taking Dcllnito Shape.
Now the mossasro began to take dcllnito
shapo. After looking carefully over it the
president was cnnblou to see where ho wantcc
additional information from ills cabinet
ofllcors , and ho began to call for it and con
sult his oftlcial counselors. On last Satur
day night the president looked over a revision
of his message and congratulated himself
that it was almost dono. By next Saturday
nliht ho intends to see the llnal proof
of the message from the hands of the
public printer , llo has , however , already
received the original pi-oof. The llnul print
ot the meituio Is very different from the
original proof shoot , for sometimes a whole
paragraph l stricken out. It la expected
that the imblio printer on next Sunday even
ing or Monday morning will deliver to the
president eoplos of tUo message which uro to
bo sent to congress. It requires for the
membership of that body and Its olllcers 500
copies In round numbers.
The newspaper representatives in this city
nro each presented with a copy nnd those
will run the list up to probaoly TOO.
Up to a few years ago It was
thu custom to dlsmouto the mossaga
to the country through thn great press as
sociations solely by telegraph , as the facil
ities for keeping the important document , n
secret till it had been told to congress were
very meager nnd frequently copies wore
stolen nnd there wa.s a premature publica
tion. About thirty-six hours before the
message 13 delivered now the press associa
tions nro given in couildenco many eoplos
aa llioy wish to send through the malls to
thnlr natrons within a radius of 000 or SOU
miles. The telegraph companies are also
given copies , ami all of thc.so are held in
strictest confidence until released at the mom
ent the clerks in thuhouscs of congress begin
to read the message. The press associations
deliver copies of the mudsago im far remote
from Washington aii possible In tlio original
lorni , nfti'r which it is tulogrnplied to news
papers which cannot receive the message in
printed form In Umo to appear In the next
Issue. The telegraph cornour.ios have dur
ing the pist few years generously trans-
milted thu president's message free of cost ,
What it JUeaiiH to V'uiiy.
At the Umo the release of the message is
given over the wires ami the reading begins
In the housoi of congress there Is u great
flutter of excitement. Every schemer und
lobb.ust and stock broker roacluH for u copy ,
that they may discover the president's obser
vations upon cnrtain affair. ) In which they uro
Inturostcd and about which the expressions
of the president nro expected to have material
elT-ct. The telegraph wires are loaded down
with directions on the subjects tro.itod in the
message and very frequently thu markets are
fcttectod.
The message sent to eonirress a year ago
by President Harrison was listened to by
nioro men than any mesuas.'o that was over
sent to congress lioforo. Ho oi i or wnro the
congressmen and others to hear what the
massage contained that they rofuscd to taku
It up and raad themselves. They preferred
to enjoy the revolutions collcctlvclv. Tim
message contained some surprising news
for Instance , the recall of Minister MUnor
from tiuatonwhi for his conduct In ihu
