The republican state convention of
Pennsylvania was unequivocally a Harrison
risen convention. The platform adopted
declares unbounded confidence in the
president and commends In the hearti
est terms the course of the administra
tion on Intornatipnal questions , giving
to Socrntary Blalno just credit for his
shnro In the nchiovotnonta of American
diplomacy. The efforts of Senator Quay
and Iho ootnparntlvoly few republicans
In Pennsylvania who nro unfriendly to
Proaidont Harrison to turn the party
against him signally failed. They were
successful in controlling only thrco or
four counties , wlillo In all the rest the
sontlmont was overwhelmingly in favor
of the president. The expression of the
convention is therefore the practically
unanimous voice ot the republicans of
the state in favor of the ronomln ntton
of President Harrison , nnd although the
dologatos-it-lnrgo named by the con
vention were not instructed , there can
bo no doubt that their action at Minne
apolis will bo hi accord with tha will of
the party as minlfoitoJ in the county
and stnto conventions. The Pennsyl
vania delegation will vote unanimously
for the president's ronomination.
The Mii33achusott3 state republican
convention was equally strosi ? in its endorsement -
dorsomont of Pcosid'jnt Harrison and
ins administration , which was co in-
mended for Its vigor , justice , olllcioncy ,
freedom from sc.uulal and brilliant di
plomacy. The republican delegates
from Massachusetts to the national con
vention are not instructed , but they ,
also , relloctlng tlio sentiment of the
party in the state , will undoubtedly bo
unanimous for the ronomination of Pres
ident Harrison.
On all national issues the platforms of
both these conventions are sound , clear
and unequivocal. They declare against
free silver , demand the maintenance of
protection , and endorse reciprocity , the
Massachusetts republicans declaring
that "any changes in the tariff necos-
nary from time to time should bo made
by tlio friends of protection , not the en-
Kvory republican state convention
thus far held has boon favorable to the
ronominalion of President Harrison , and
thcro is ovorv reason to expect that
those to follow will bo equally pro
nounced in support of the just claims of
the president to bo again the standard
bearer of his party. There nro still a
'ow dissatisfied politicians , governed
wholly by selfish motives , who endeavor
o create disaffection in the party , but
heir influence is not widely felt nnd
ivill have no weight nt all in the nn-
iounl convention against the counsel of
uch distinguished republicans as Sher
man , Allison , Aldrich , Cullom , McKin
oy nnd others who acknowledge the
n-oprioty and justness of ronominiUng
President Harrison. The intelligent
: nnsses of the party understand and ap
predate the excellent work of the ad'
ministration , nnd while they tire willing
to accord to every member of it a just
shnro of the credit for what h&s been
iichiovod , they know that to the presi
dent belongs much Iho largest share.
Both in the management of our domestic
affairs and in tlio conduct of interna
tional controversies the ability and
sound judgment of President Harrison
huvo been conspicuously shown , and no
department of the executive branch of
tlio government has boon without his
constant , careful and vigilant attention.
The endorsement of republican conven
lions is therefore not more perfunctory
approval , but a just recognition of the
wisely directed and successful work o
the president.

Although It is Iho general opinion
that Senator David B. Hill will not bo
nominated at Chicago , ho is still regarded
gardod as a rather interesting and im
portant factor in the democratic situu
tion. When Mr. Hill finds , ns it ii
practically certain ho will find , if ho ha ;
not already , that ho has no chance o
being made tlio candidate ot his party
to whom will ho throw his influence' '
Tills is n question which is receiving
attention in democratic circles. Sonio
persons who evidently have an entirely
erroneous idea of the character of Mr ,
Hill as a politician have suggested tha
it would bo a master stroke if ho shoult
go to the national convention and jm
Mr. Cleveland in nomination. The senator
ator is capable of almost anything in tin
line of political chicanery and tergiversation
sation , but it is hardly conceivable tha
ho could bo induced to do tills. Hi
hostility to Cleveland is so invotornti
and implacable- , und is so fully under
stood , that Hill witli nil his capacity fo
juggling nnd fnlso pretenses could no
bring himself to stand before the 900
delegates of the national democratic
convention nnd pronounce the words
that would put Grover Cleveland in
nomination. This would demand a
measure of self-stultification which even
Hill is not equal to. It Is possible that
ho may conclude baforo the nuotlng of
the convention not to actively antag
onize the nomination of the ex-prosl-
doiit , but this is not probable. Nor
would It bo to the advantage of Cleveland -
land to got Iho nomination under such
conditions , since it would imply n bar
gain with Hill and Tammany.
There can bo but ono conclusion from
the sltuntlon as it now stands , and that
la that Hill Intends to dofo.xt'tho nomi
nation of Cleveland if ho can do so In
order to accomplish this ho must make
n combination with some other ono of
the possible candidates. It is said that
just now ho is playing with Palmer , nnd
that soiuo of his friends are talking of n
ticket with the Illinois senator at the
head and Governor Kussoll of Massa
chusetts in second place. It la also said
that the second oholco of soun ot the
Hill mon is Gray of Indiana , of others
Senator Brlco of Ohio , while SOIUD are
favorable to Boles. Those various ro-
portn show that Mr. Hill has not yet
made up his mind whore to throw his
inlludnco , but it also indicates that the
matter la receiving sorlous considera
tion from himself and his friends. It
was thought for a time that Senator
Gorman had a cort.ilnty of the Hill sup
port In the event of the latter pulling
out of the race , but the Maryland candi
date has developed strong Cleveland
tendencies.
The ono thing nosured is , that Hill
will continue to the end to antagonize
the nomination of Cleveland , because
obviously ho IMS nothing to g.Un by
doing otherwise. Can ho hold his
followers under such control ns will on-
nblo him to exert nn effective Inlluonco
In oolinlf of tiny ether candidate ? Will
ho bo able to deliver the Now Yo.'lc del
egation to n candhUto outside of that
state ? It is somewhat doubtful , and yet
every man In that delegation is prac
tically plodffod to oppose to the last the
nomination of Grover Cleveland.

Tlio Interest manifested by the coun
try nt largo upon the subject of Irriga
tion nnd the ox po rlmcnts In progress
throughout the country by states , dis
tricts , Individuals and the general gov
ernment are rapidly solving the gro at
problem of utilizing our arid lands.
Statesmen are endeavoring to devise a
plan whereby the work miy ba under
taken upon a Boalo of magnitude com
mensurate with Its importance. Thus
far no crystallization of legislative opin
ion has boon reached. The western
states and territories have Informally
assented to n plan which shall give
them control of the arid lands within
tholr boundaries. It may bo said , how
ever , that this is still a crude sentiment
with many diUlcultios in Iho way of har
monizing the diverse views ontortai nod
by the people of the communities di
rectly interested. The immense ex
penditure involved in the ider * of having
the national government develop the
lands stands as a bir to the prospects of
early legislation upon that lino.
The American people are equal to the
solution of gigantic problems , however ,
and , though It may take time , eventu
ally this ono will bo simplified and the
best results possible will bo finally at
tained. Special Ag.int Hinton. who
has boon for two years at work investi
gating the question of irrigation , will
liortly issue his report. It is volum-
nous and exhaustive , and promises to
o a valuable contribution to the litoriv-
tire ot irritrition , ns well aa a basis for"
uturo action. Mr. Ilinton's duties
ore confined to investigating condi-
ions , and ho may not make any specific
ecommcndations , but owing to an nn-
agonism of long st-mdin g between him-
elf and Major Powell of the geological
urvoy it is quite likely the report will
nvor the uloa of coding the lands to the
tales , Inasmuch as this plan is opposed
) .v tlio latter official.
Mr. Ilinton finds that moro land than
s now under cultivation in the entire
ounlvy lies in what is known as Ihe
irid rogionte. In the lasl sevau yours

by ; > ,500,000 acres. By the opening of

Although our Board of Trade has la
bored under great embarrassment , grat-
fying progress has been made within
, ho past year toward making Omaha
tlio grain market for this section.
Within eighteen months successive
steps forward have been lakon.
The legislature was induced nflor a
bitter contest to enact into a law the
measure known as the warehouse bill
prepared under the direction and super
vision of Iho secretary of the Board of
Trade. The board devoted some time
to securing the success of the measure
and when it finally wont into effect the
board took another long stop. It ad-
milled Iho grain men into the organiza
tion with special privileges , and mom-
bora of Iho board of directors generously
resigned to make places for the now olo-
mont. The grain buyers nnd operators
wcro next induced to tnko offices in the
Chamber of Commerce building whcro
the business is now concentrated. The
open buard followed. This was not an
unqualified success , l.ut it is not hope
less and the call will bo resumed within
it short time. The Headquarters of the
grain department has boon established
In tliis city and hero the chief inspector
and necessary woighmastors have oHlcos.
Nebraska grades of grain have boon
adopted nnd Nebraska inspection has
been accepted in eastern markets. A
public warehouse has been opened and
the beginnings of large transactions in
grain realized. A State Grain Mon
association was recently organized in
this city with a view to combine the in
terests of buyers and shippers.
The warehouse Jaw wont Into effect
August 1 , 1891. The developments in
the direction of a grain market were al
dependent upon that moisu'o : : , Consequently
quently it has been less than nine months
since the enterprise could take definite
shape. Wo should fool reasonably satis
fled with the progress made , especially
in view of the obstacles in the way. The
beginning of the last year saw Nebraska
almost prostrate from crop failures.
Money has boon hard to got .and enter
prise has not yet recovered from the

New York World ( dom. ) : The democrats
of Nebraska lollowod the wlso course
adopted In Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
of expressing their preference for n presi
dential candidate , but leaving the delegation
unlnstructod.
bt. Louis Post-Dispatch ( dom. ) : The vie
tory in the Nebraska democratic convention
for an unpledged delegation to the nationhl
convention shows that democrats nro hoed-
inir the warniusr not to permit their enthusi
asm for ODO man to run away with tholr dis
cretion.
Now York Sun ( dom. ) : The Nebraska
democrats have made a grim attempt at in
voking the ghost of Samuel Jackson Uan-
dall to support Grover Clovolaud ou the
platform which the great democratic loader
mode for the treacherous Mugwumps' bene
fit in ISSt. The efforts of the Stuffed Proph
et's friends to wlpo from him the stnin of
'
democratic disaster'is not only humiliating ,
but ropulslvo.
Kansas City Star ( ind. ) : Youn < ; Mr. Bryan
of Nebraska , who has made n great hit as a
tariff reformer In congress , was tempted to
lonva Ills post of duty this woclc and return
to his siato to officiate in the democratic con
vention ns the champion of free silver. Ho
watched an opportunity und sprang his reso
lution , when lo nnd beheld , It was , greatly to
his chagrin and mortification , dofeatod. It
ought to bo n lesson to the young statesmen.
Philadelphia Ledger ( ind. rop. ) : Last year
the Noornskn democrats resolved that * 'wo
favor the frco comago of silver and that it
inay bo nindo n full and legal tender for all
debts , public and private. " . This year the
NoDraskn democratic convention rejected a
similar resolution In favor of free coinage by
n vote of 247 to 22'J. ' The margin was not
great , but it represents the complete convex
slon of a state assumed to bo inuvor of free
coinage.
Chicago Herald ( dom. ) : It is surprising
that such a man as Mr. Bryan should advo-
calo the project for the debasement of the
monetary standard. A man who is so
thoroughly sound and so clear n thinker on
the tariff question should bo no less sound
on the money uuostion. The same kind of
knowledge and tbo sumo power of correct
economic reasoning that conduct him to
right conclusions respecting the tariff should
conduct him to rifht conclusions in regard to
monoy.

County Attorney Hooppnor of Adams

verbal complaint to the effect that one O. W.
Hull , a road overseer of a roj district \ve.st
of Junintu In Adams county , wants the U. &
M. Ilailroud company to put in two cross
ings over a laid out road in his district.
Superintendent Culvert , to whom tbo matter
was referred , replied that upon Jooklnir up
the record no discovers that the roads referred -
forrod to have never Been legullv laid out
and that they are not public roads" In each
case it would cost a great deal of money to
muko the crossings , as they would have to bo
on very high Illls or go underneath the tracit.
Mr. Calvert Is ot tno opinion that the road
ought to bo legullv laid out bcforo tbo par-
tie Interested usk for crossings. If the Ad
ams county people still wish it in the face of
