ONK-KIFTH of tlio population of Uio United States is made up of the chil dren in the public schools. This nrmy ol i,000,000 ; ! is better than n standing nrmy of veterans us a protection to American institutions. IOWA may furnish two presidential candidates Governor Boies for the democrats and General Weaver for the independents. Neither can carry the Htato , but available presidential timber is scarce In both of the parties. A DISPATCH from Swansea announces that the proprietors of a number of the liirgast tin pinto factories in "Wales wil erect works in Amdrica. Such facts like this are very trying to the gifte tin plato caricaturists of the democratic pirty ! < = = = = = THKHK are 235 democrats in the lower house of congress and only thirty-nine of these voted to unseat Hill's man Hockwoll , the other day. .If this bo any indication of the real strength of the Cleveland boom Senator Ilill'a reticence is not so inexplicable. UOMK patronage is the open sesame to a marvelous improvement of the man ufacturing trade of Nebraska. It means work ana wages for many not now cm ployed and increased sales from retail stores. Keep the ball rolling now that i is well started. ONCH moro the Douglas County Agrl- cultuul society will permit THIS BUB to Buggost that its energies should bo com bined with tlioso of the business men to the end that an attractive exposition shall bo hold in connection with the an nual horso-lrot. OMAHA is situated at exactly the right epot to become tlio greatest grain mar- hot west of Chicago. This fact ought to bo apparent to the railways centering lioro as well as the pepplo and should lend them to abandon of discriminations against this city in gram rates. Tun North Dakota legislature failed to provide for the election of presiden tial electors , thus presenting the llrst of the goriod of complications which the coming presidential election is liable to develop , A special session of Uio legis lature may hnvo to bo called to correct the error. SIMPSON reads with personal nnJ apprehensive interest that 20,000 people huvo loft southern Kansas for Oklahoma since Ills election and as many more will move into the Cherokee strip , lie sees in this emigration indications of a vote of the solid citizens of ills district which will retire him from congress in November. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ AI.TIIOUQH nothing has boon said nbiiut It lately , the all important fact remains - mains that Omaha in the geographical center of what certain . in twenty-live years to bo the greatest beet sugar pro ducing region in the world. If she does not utilize her natural position to be come Iho commercial center of the boot sugar industry it will not bo the fault of this newspaper. ON WKDNKSDAY of this week the Hoard of Methodist Bishops is expected in tills city. By Sunday most o ( the delegates to the general conference will be hero , and next week the great moot ing will bo in full session , It is there fore highly important that the city authorities hasten the work of putting etreels and sidewalks into presentable condition. Omaha should be in full during the month of May. ir/rr stioui.n niciiAttns m : AVKKUKDI When Judge Post was triumphantly oloctcd lost November in the fnco of overwhelming odds in ono of the most ucHporntoly contested campaigns over fought in this state the glorious repub lican victory was conceded by friend nnd fee alike to bo largely , If not chiefly , duo to the exertions made by Tim Bins. But Hlchnrds nnd his fanatical ghost dancers were not content. In fact most of them would have preferred to see Kdgorlon elected so as to bo able to pro claim that TinBKI : had no Influence and that Dr. Morccr , at the head of the state central committee , was n wretched imbecile. Instead of sinking their grievances and personal animosities for the good of the party in the Impending campaign , which is to bo no walkaway , these political Pharisees have for four months kept up n frenzied wail about Richards and ranted themselves hoarse about a very commonplace politician who fell with scores of others in the political cyclone that swept the state In 18)0. ! ) Instead of directing their flro nt the common enemy they have kept up n concerted fulisado upon Tun Biu : and hurled clubs , brickbats nnd stones at Its editor. The battle cry of the ghost dnncora Is that Ulclmrds must bo avenged. What is ho to bo avenged for ? Is ho to bo avenged for defeating tlio party nnd himself by forcing the prohibition ques tion upon the state at n most critical time ? Is ho to bo avenged for his culpa ble neglect to tnko possession of the Hold early In the summer right after ho was nominated and before the discon tented republican formers had gene over bodily Into the alliance campV Why did ho go on that junketing tour to Boston nnd defer the opening of the campaign from July to September ? Is Richards to bo avenged for losing popu lar support by ills cownvdly straddle of a vital issue when it was within his power to save the party from disaster and himself from defeat by n. simple dec laration that if prohibition carried ho would enforce the constitution and laws and if it. was defeated by the people ho would not sanction a prohibitory statute in dollanco of the popular decree ? Is Richards to bo avenged because ho recklessly disregarded the udvico of sincere friends to make a personal can vass in Omaha and at least satisfy by personal assurance voters who were afraid to trust him on the prohibition question1 Douglas county gave Rich ards over 0100 votes , the wonder is that ho received half that number under the circumstances. But Richards is to bo avenged because ho is a great leader and has done great things for tlio republican party. When was ho a , leader and where ? Richards lias never served in a legis lative body and lias never hold a state ollloo. IIo has nove'been tried in any capacity except that of chairman of the state central committee. True , the re publicans carried the state by 25,000 majority when ho was chairman , but what does thyt signify ? The state would have given Harrison 25,000 major ity oven if there Had been no state cen tral committee. It did not require a , wonderful genius to act as chairman of that committee when there was perfect harmony in the ranks and the 50,000 republican farmers were all ready to lull in line on election day. What then has Richards over done for the party ? Without personal mag netism , lacking the essential gift of iluent speech and without experience in public life , what could ho do that thou sands of ordinary men have not done and could not do ? What did Richards do for the party last fail ? What did ho do to save Judge Post ? But Richards must be avenged at all ha/.arus oven though by so doing not a vote is to bo gained in the impondin campaign and the party is to bo torn up to gratify a set of political body snatchcrs who are trying to resurrect him for no other purpose than to foment discord nnd contention on the eve of a momentous struggle that will tax the entire strength of tlio party to its ut most. If Richards is to bo avenged why not avcngo Dorsey , at whoso slaughter Richards secretly connived , and Tom Benton , whoso success ho bitterly lamented ? Why not nvotigo Ilnrlan , who foil on the same day , and Council who fell on the sumo battle field ? Why do not the republicans of Iowa indulge in ghost dances over their defeated governor ornor and state olllcora ? Is this the time for republicans of Nebraska to force dead issues and dead politicians to the front and relegate live , earnest and active republicans to the rear ? TllK SlLVKlt HTATKS. In a speech in the United States son' ate last week. Senator Teller of Colorado rado threatened that if the republican party stands for the gold standard tin four fiilvot-producing states will no. hereafter bo able to act in co-oporation with the custom republicans in the son- nto or any olhor body. Although the senator disclaimed any authority to speak even for Iho people of Colorado , ho ventured to imply that unless the re publican party through its representa tives at Minneapolis shall respect the demands of tlio silver producers and those interested with them the people of the silver states would repudiate the party. Senator Sanders of Montana did not agree with the Colorado senator. Ho said that Montinn , next toColorado , Is the largest producer of silver and her people uro deeply interested in the sil ver question , but ho was certain that Montana will not change her political identification in any spirit of petulance or for any purposes of rovongo. "When- over the time shall arrive- , " bald Sena tor Sanders , "whon the people of the silver-producing states , dissatisfied with existing conditions , shall proceed to inquire - quire iiow they can best HUbservo their public Interests by political action , they will determine their Identity and identi fication soberly and with the modesty of tearful duty. " In a private conversa tion Senator Dubols of Idaho is reported to have characterized the Implied thror.t of Mr. Teller AS simply ridiculous. For months the two Colorado senators have boon manifesting , at every op portunity , their Intemperate y.oal in behalf - half of silver. They have denounced President Harrison because of hia stand against the free and unlimited coinage of silver , and to the extent of their ability and Influence they have endea vored to create division and discord In the republican party on this question. They have not succeeded In doing any hi jury to the president or In impairing "the harmony of the party , nnd in the bitterness of chagrin ono of them , who has been honored by the republican party certainly to the full moas uro of ids deserts , now calmly nnd deliberately threatens the loss of the votes of the silver slates to the republican party If it shall refuse to adopt the policy which the silver producers demand. The war rantable Inference Is that Mr. Teller Is prepared to desert the republican party If his warning Is not heeded , nnd as it assuredly will not bo It Is perhaps safe to expect that the senior senator from the Centennial state will bo otitsldo the republican breastworks after Juno7. Whether he Is or is not will not bo of very great importance. Colorado will glvo her electoral vote to Iho candidate of the Minneapolis convention , nnd there Is reason to expect that every olhor silver state will do the eamo. Everybody understands that the people of those states are deeply interested in the silver question , but it is not to bo believed , even upon the testimony of Mr. Toiler , that they are so blindly and inordinately selfish as to regard Iho question of free silver coinage as being superior to all ether considerations affecting the prosperity and welfare of tlio nation , and to bo willing to sacrifice to this ono policy the republican party nnd all that It stands for. Even with out Iho assurance of the senators from Montana and Idaho there would bo no doubt that Senator Teller has misrepre sented the republican masses of the silver states. COURTKStKS AXU CUU11TKSIKS. A local manufacturing establishment with a largo wholesale trade pays thou sands of dollars to the railways for freight shipped all over the west. The charge to the Pacific coast on the line of goods shipped by this firm is S500 per car load. This firm has on divers occa sions asked the Union Pacific Railway company for passes for representatives. Thny have been refused , however , under the pretext that the company could not all'ord to lay itself liable for violation of the interstate commerce act. Other largo shippers have had the same expo- ionco. The courtesy ot : v trip pass for a , Hunting excursion is not granted , al though it may bo requested by an ostab- .ishmcnt shipping whole train loads of nercliandisc. An attorney at law , the salaried so licitor of several frnnehised monopolies , is selected by a county convention as its favorite candidate for the honor of rep resenting a political party as a delegate to a national convention. The attorney has never shipped a pound of freight over the Union Pacific railway. It is possible that he has never bought a rail road ticket from that corporation. His duties at the national convention nro of a character which can in no wise alTect the interests of a railway corporation. Yet the managers of the Union Pacific volunteer to furnish n palace car for 03 delegates from Omaha to Kearney and return. The delegates themselves do not find it necessary to apply for passes. The good natured corporation managers appear anxious to uroscnt these dele gates and their friends with passes to Kearney and return. They have oven gene to the trouble of mailing the passes to the dologatc.s and the attorney has politely informed them on what train they will bo honored and the tlmo of its departure. These two pictures carry their own moral. The business man who contrib utes cash to the treasury of the railway company is not accorded the slight cour tesy. The politician is-givon free trans portation over 400 miles of road and the corporation seeks to impress upon the politician the fact that it is moro than pleased at the opportunity to ren der him this distinguished service. Further comment Is unnecessary. Ho that runs may road. The Union Pacific railway is not out of politics , and it never will bo HO long as it can hold up the merchant and the farmer by distrib uting pasteboard bribes to members of conventions and tamper with state boards of transportation and members of the legislature. NKITIIKU ClsNVKLAXJ ) XOll UlLIj. Mr. Henry Wattorson , whoso views regarding democratic politics are always entitled to respectful consideration , ad heres to the opinion ho expressed some time ago that neither Cleveland nor Hil ! ought to be nominated at Chicago. His judgment is that Now York cannot bo carried by either of thorn , and as that state Is absolutely necessary to demo cratlc succoas the candidate must be r man who can unite the party thoro. The preference of Mr. Wattorson is Scnatoi Carlisle , who ho justly says is pro-eml nontly and originally Identified with the issue of tariff reform , Mr. Cleve land and the younger generation of re formers having followed his lead from the beginning , but ho would bo fiatisliei' with any ono of the several men who nro talked of as possible candidates. As to Mr. Cleveland , the Kentucky cditot rejects the idea that ho is the only democrat ocrat In America worthy to bo followed "To say that ho is , " remarks Mr. Wat torson , "Is to confess a kind of vassalage ago , to abandon freedom of thought am choice , and in short to put a dog collar on a great party. " The democrats of Kentucky have no yet expressed themselves regarding i presidential candidate , , but if Mr \Vallorson voices the general sontlmon of the party in that btato it is safe to say that the delegation will nt least nebo bo instructed for either of the Now Yorl candidates. But it will probably be found that a majority of the democrat of Kentucky uro favorable to the ox president , and that the representative they send to Chicago will go proparcc to cast their vote for Cleveland unlcs they become satisfied after reaching there that it would bo inexpedient t nominate him. The indications are Urn so far as Hill is concerned ho will no be seriously discussed at Chicago , bu that the question will bo Cleveland or i candidate outside of Now York. Then can be no mistake as to the drift at prcs out , and if the Now York enemies 6 Cleveland hope to defeat him tlioir only chance lie * in making a combination 01 omo ether candlrtnlo than Hill , who must also bo of up'flt'l r slate. It is true hat only ton stnJOR.Jiavo hold domo- ratio conventions , 'mid that of these only three have ffisfluctcd their dele- rates to the national'ponvontion to vote or particular cnn'uidutos Now York for Hill and Rhode Istonjl nnd Kansas for 'lovolund but inf.tno seven others pro- oronco for the < Gx'\residont | \ was dis- Inclly and strongly'manifested. That , ho democratic con von lions of a major- ty of the thlrty-fdur 'states yet to bo icard from will fyo" , fnvorablo to Mr. 21avolnnd , thotigh-fhoy may not Instruct or him , is highly prbbablo , and It is low generally conceded that ho will lave a majority of the delegates to the national convention , if not the two- hlrds necessary to nominate. Now York , of course , holds the key.to ho situation. If the cnomlos of Clovo- nnd in that slate can convince the delegates - gates from other states that hu cannot carry New York ho will bo dropped , but lot for III11 , who , whatever may bo said of his availability in his own state , has 10110 olsowhoro. Then will arlso the orlous question of finding n candidate vho can unllo the party ono who can mrmonizo the warring factions nnd in- use some interest and enthusiasm into ho party and it hardly need bo said hat this will bo a source of almost lin- neasurablo perplexity * Tun moat extensive tin plato plant in the country will go into operation next vook at F.llwood , Ind. The owners , who nro represented to have abundant capi tal , expect to turn out 2,500 boxes of tin ilato per week , nnd eventually the os- nbllslimont will glvo employment to 500 .In . plato makers. The opening of the factory is to bo mndo the occasion of a ttiblio demonstration , in which Gov ernor McKiuloy and others will partici pate. It is interesting to note In this connection that a dispatch from Swansea - sea , Wales , states that owing to the de gression in the British tin pinto trade , ho proprietors of a number of the larg est factories In Wales Intend to erect works Ui America. Undoubtedly as soon as the Welch manufacturers be come satisfied that the tariff on tin ulato will remain many of thorn will erect plants in this country or invest in ihoso alieady erected , and there is rea son to believe that a largo part of tnis business in Wales will bo transferred to this country in the next five years if the LarifT is not disturbed. In that event it is absolutely certain that wo would have cheaper tin plate than over before. The outlook is now favorable for a steady growth of this industry , nnd republican success next November will undoubtedly give it a , very great impetus.

The native white population is 3,51o,5'Jl , and 1,079,799 of these are children of foreign born parents. Furthermore , the foreign born population has increased at n , greater ratio during the last decade than the native born. In I860 the whole number of the former in Now England was 70iG12. ; The increase in ten years has been 348,727 , or 43.91 per cent , wliilo the native born increase in the same states for the same period lias been 341,489 , or 10.02 per cent.

Of course. Nevertheless , the Union Pacific railway company manifests interest enough in the state convention to see to it that the Douglas county delegation does not count the ties between Omaha and Kearney. IT is the duty of the mayor to enforce the ordinance requiring wooden motor poles to be replaced by Iron posts. .If wo must have the trolley motor lot us at least have a uniform and decent looking line of posts on our business thorough- faros.

His promotion was strictly in the line of civil service roformand stands out in marlcpd contrast to the silly- billy system under which superintendents of police nro selected In Chicago.

Fremont SVflilinr. Tlio republican ship has had rather n tem pestuous voyage In Nebraska for two or three years. She hns weathered cyclones nnd waterspouts , stir/lvoJ collisions , boon pulled out of maelstroms , and ever and anon "tho cruel rocks have gored her sldoi like the horns of nu angry hull. " But she has entered upon p.iclllc wulors aqali > , nnd her sails are lilted with n prosperous breeze , and shots bound for n radiant port across the purple wnvos. The old ship was all right horoolf. and there wore bravo men and skill ful mariners aboard , hut there was also a Jonah ; n Jonah whoso uamo was Uosowator , and the gods were angered , nnd the vessel seemed to be doomed like old Ynmlordicklns craft of ghostly farao. The Jonah shipped ns an able seaman and piofcssod great love for the oDlccrs nnd men , and spiting amusing stories In the torocastlo of evenings , so that for n time ho was qulto popular. But ho sneaked down the companlonway In the dark nnd knlfod the captain , and ho tam pered with the compass , nnd secured nn augur nnd endeavored to scuttle the ship. And that her old beams and timbers nro not rotting on some desert shore Is not his fault. The crow of the storm-tossod vessel nt last discovered the Jonah , and they have cast him overboard , and there Isn't n frlondly wlialo In all the ocean around that will swallow him. [ 'Tls well.

Rosowntor , who was n candidate for delogate-at-largo to ovorytulng in sight , was ridden around town without a saddle and dumped with n mellow plunk Into the soup. Every man who was suspected of enjoying Koiowatcr's friendship was also immersed iu the broth , and the grand old editor went to bed last night with a pain m his side , nnd a great longing to bo loping tarough space with the magnificent stallion which lately died. Truly , a brighter day is dawning for Nebraska when Uosowator is sat upon at every mark of the road. IIo used to have a good deal of influence , but ns a result of the Higher Education campaign , com'.uctea by the Jackass Batteries , ho can't oven control an assembly of hand-organ play ers any moro.

Ulchards will no doubt bo chosen as a dclignto-at-largo at the state convention next week in ICoarnoy. Several counties besides - sides York have instructed for him. Exact justice would not , only send him nt the head of the state delegation to Minneapolis but would scat him in the gover nor's chair at Lincoln this fall. Even Uosowator should bo disgusted enough by this time , with the bummer's equal , the pot bouse politician , the ditch slugger , the inll- mate of the thug and the loafer , the present governor of Nebraska to lend n hand iu placing nn honest , upright , raspoctablo citi zen of ability like Ulcharas in the ofllca that should have boon his a year and a half ago.
