Methodists throughout tl o country may bo
assured that the reports of the proceedings
ot the general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church to bo published in THE
BEB will bn accurate , fair and interesting.
Wo shall devote all the space necessary to
milking complete dally reports of the ses
sions of this great meeting of ono of the
greatest of protestniit churches. Our staff
nsl.ned especially to the duty of reporting
the conference is thoroughly Informed upon
Methodism and selected with particular ref
erence to preparing accounts of the delibera
tions' for Methodist readers. Persons .in
other parts ot the union Interested in the
general conference will find It to their ad
vantage to subscribe for Tin : Bin : during the

free coinatro.
Now that the Izard building ia
practically abandoned ns a graded
school , the Board of Education should
(
consider the advisability of converting
It into a manual training school.
Oiticaox holds her election on the day
preceding the national convention. The
returns will bo received in time to fill
the thousands of representative repub
licans at Minneapolis with the wildest
enthusiasm.
IN THK absence of the most garrulous
member of the Board of County Com
missioners that deliberative branch of
our local government should improve
the opportunity to transact u great deal
of important business.
THK county commissioners nro exasperatingly -
poratingly deliberate about passing
upon the Nebraska Central bond propo
sition. If any work is done upon this
enterprise the present season the bond
election must bo called as soon ns pos
sible.
RIIODU ISLAND is still voting. Provi
dence has trlfd twice to elect a legisla
tive delegation and hns failed. She is
still nine representatives short of her
full number. Rhode Island needs a now
constitution which will unable a plural
ity of votes to elect.
SPKAKKK Citisi1 does not always hold
his temper , but ho is ordinarily compe
tent to hold his tongue , which is worth
n good deal to a presiding olllcor with
a brainy minority nagging him con
stantly. Mr. Crisp is entitled to public
sympathy , for his position is not always
agreeable.
ATTOKNUYS at law and court olllcors
should unite in a reform which shall
give legal notices proper publicity. This
Hiding them from public view in obscure
shoots for the sake cither of the com
mission paid by the publisher or to prevent -
vent parties in interest from receiving
proper notice is all wrong.
FUEK coinage IB a veritable night
mare to the democracy. The south
threatens trouble if It stays out of tlio
national platform and the east if it goes
In. It Is fair to assume , however , that
the question will bo straddled so cam-
palgnors can talk for free coinage in
ono state and against it In another , and
the south will continue solid.
WilKN a convention passes a resolu
tion declaring that an aspiring states
man , is second choice for any oflico , it
Inoans simply that the aspiring states-
mini's temperature is very high and ho
must bo cooled oil gradually to pitovcnt

is the second choice of Indiana demo
crats for the presidential nomination.
SitlCi ; it has been finally determined
that the Central school shall bo erected

Thnt the republican party ia In grave
peril in Nebraska intholmpandlngcnm-
pnicn Is patent to everybody ( amlllat
with the slttintlon. It will take thomosl
consummate generalship find splendid
lighting all along the line to carry the
state oven by a bare plurality. Trim n
great victory was won In the election ol
Judge Post Inst fall , but the condition !
were very much moro favorable tlmr
they will bo this year. Post is an able
lawyer ana had been on the district
bench for years. Kdgerton In a briolloss
attorney who did not inspire popular
confidence. A largo body of democrats
refused to lower the standard of our ju
diciary and ulsgraco the state by voting
for Kdgorton nnd n largo body of alli
ance farmers stayed at homo because
they considered Kdgortou's election n
foregone conclusion.
Looking backward over the battlefield
of 1801 we find that the republicans en
tered the campaign disheartened nnd
well nigh hopeless.
Their old loaders and wheel horses
wcro either not available or hiding ) in
cyclone collars. Thurston did not dare
lo show himself al a farmers' meeting.
Webster had loaded down the parly
with n boomerang plank in its platform ,
and kept out of sight for fear of repelling
democratic voters which were needed tc
make Post's election suro. Mnndorfcon
viewed tlio battle from afar , and 1V1-
docK seemed ptmilyzod at the diunal
(
outlook. Richards , the plumed chiuftain
of the ghost dancers , was "marking
time" at liis desk on foreclosed mort
gages and clipping railroad bond cou
pons.
How will it bo in 1892 ? How can the
party hope to restore conlidonco anil
bring back into its ran Its any consider
able number of the dissatisfied republi
can farmers through the flowery and
brilliant speeches of silver tonguoil orators
tors who are on the railroad pay roll ?
Would any appeal made by politicians
who have not boon in touch with the
people and are distrusted by the pro
ducers have any effect upon the musses ;
Can wo hope to cIToct. any material
change among ox-republican members
of the alliance through editors and
papers that have for years drawn all
their inspiration from railroad headquarters -
quarters or through campaign literature
gotten up in the cast where the causes
of discontent among our farmers are not
understood and the remedies proposed
do not cover the grievances and abuses
that have caused the revolt in NubraskaV
How many votes has the party gained
by the unprovoked and indefensible
warfare which Kichards and his hang
ers-on have boon waging for the last
four months ?
Can any ot those and all of them com
bined save the party from disaster this
fall , unless the ranks are closed and the
republican phalanx is marshaled by
tried and true loaders who are free from
tlio taint of corruption and enjoy the
confidence of the people , coupled with
the backing of newspapers that cham
pion republican principles , measures
and candidates , not for pay or promise of
reward , but because they want to pro
mote good government and perpetuate
republican institutions ? Such leaders
and such papers are not very numerous
in our stale and party.
It is the first stop that costs , is a
Pi ouch maxim that will apply forcibly
to the situation in Nebraska. Much
depends upon the initial stop in the cam
paign of 189U which will bo taken today.
The state convention which assembles
at Kearney today will apparently bo
harmonious because of the predominance
of the corporation element which en
counters no dilHeulty in capturing con
ventions since the faction opposed to
corporation rule has been reduced in
numbots by the alliance movement But
such harmony bodes no good to the
p-vrty , which can only hope to regain
supremacy in the stale by recruiting Us
ranks from the mon who toil in the
workshop and on the farm. Lot repub
licans assembled at Kearney boar m
mind that their action will determine
largely whether the party is to march to
victory this fall or go down in defeat.

The house of representatives recently
passed a bill to promote the safety of mi-
liorml banks. Ita purpose was to arrest
the tendency to large loans by national
bunks to their olllccrs , which has been
shown to have boon the cause of most of
the heavy bank failures. The measure
provided that no b.ink shall make a loan
to any of its olllcers until it has boon ap
proved by the board of directors or the
executive committee of the board , and
sucti approval is to bo formally recorded.
Loans of this class arc to bo separately
reported when reports of the condition
of the bank arc called for by the comp
troller of the currency. The bill also
prohibited any bank olllcor from over
drawing his account.
The measure was passed by the senate
with two nmonilmonts , ono requiring
the comptroller of thecurioncy to pre
scribe a form of bond to bo Ubod by all
national banks to secure the lldelity of
cashiers and all other ollleora of whom
bonds are required and the other pro
viding for the issuoof circulating notes
to thu par value of the bonds deposited
as bccurlty instead of to only UO per cent
of the par value.
If the banks were allowed to do this it
would enable them to make a consider
able addition to the circulating modlum ,
but owing to the strong opposition to
the national banks in thu house of repre
sentatives there 1 * not much probability
that the semite amendments will bo concurred -
currod in , notwithstanding the fact that
nearly all of those who are hostile to the
banks are clamorous for an Increase of
circulation , The fact that the banks
would gala something from the ad
ditional issue of notes is sulllulont to in
duce the enemies of those institutions to
vote against the proposed legislation ,
regardless of thq benefit the public might
derive from the additional legislation.
The probability , thcrofoi-o , Is that the
bill will become a law without the pro
vision for increased circulation.
There will ba no legislation by the
present congress hostile to the national
banks , but there U a strong sentiment in
the house favorable to a repeal of thu
tax which provonU the issue of clrcu-
lating notes by state banks A large
number of democrats bollovo that the
old syatom of state bank currency ought
to bo restored , and It In not to be
doubted that If that parly had the power
it would promptly providofora return
to the currency nystom which obtained
before the war , when the paper money
of one slate was at a discount In ovcrv
other state and the vnluo of much of it at
homo was not certain from ono day to an
other. The bill to promote the s.xfoty
of national banks Is a proper nnd neces
sary measure , and rather than It should
fall the senate will bo who to yield in
the matter of its mnondtnont regarding
the additional issue of notes , which has
no relevancy to the purpose of the
measure.

John M. Thurston has written a letter
warmly endorsing the candidacy of Mr.
Webster. .John M. Thurston is a pro
nounced anti-Harrison man. Would ho
endorse Webster if ho believed htm to
bo a staunch and uncompromising friend
of Harrison who would stand by him in
the face of tremendous pressure or n
stampede ?
Mr. Webster hns a grievance ngninst
Harrison just as Thurston has a griev
ance against Harrison. Mr. Webster
has high aspirations which have not
been favorably responded to by the
president. Ho wanted to be United
States circuit judge. United States supreme
premo judge and lastly secretary of war.
Ho was not appointed and very natur
ally feels like any other disappointed
seeker after olllco. Can a man in such
n frame of mind bo depended on in the
critical hour , even if ho comes to the
convention with pledges and instruc
tions ?
Wo nro nwaro that a very consider
able number of politician ? in this Rtate ,
including men holding important federal
ofllcos , nro masquerading as Harrison
men , when at heart they want to sco
him done up at Minneapolis. Those men
will doubtless join riiurston in backing
Webster with the mental reservation
that if opportunity oilers Webster would
bolt Harrison for a dark horso.
The only safety for true blue Harrison
republican ! ) in the convention lies in
supporting candidates who do not need
to bo pledged or instructed. It is never
safe to risk defeat by trusting to luke
warm fi lends or men who pledge them
selves against their natural inclina
tions.
Mr. Webster has had the hearty sup
port of THK BHK whenever his name
was presented for a federal appointment.
But tlio very fact that ho lias become
tlio political legatee of an avowed op
ponent of President Harrison impels us
to suspect and question his reliability
as a Harrison delegate.

The board of bishoos of the Metho
dist Episcopal church , eighteen in num
ber , will for the next month make
Omaha their homo. The nrst great
gathering of the general conference will
bo hold on Sundny. Monday morning
the legislative busiposs will begin and
for four weeks all the eyes of Molhodism
with its millions of adherents will bo
fixed upon Omaha.
The full importance of the great quad
rennial meeting of this progressive re
ligious denomination is scarcely realized
by Omaha pooplo.Fully 25,000,000 of
the inhabitants of this earth are swayed
in their religious thought by the doc
trines expounded in the first instance by
John Wesley. It is worth something tea
a young and ambitious city like Omaha
to bo for thirty days the cynosure of
Wesleyanism. Aside from the fact that
wo shall have in our midst the most dis
tinguished clergymen nnd laymen of the
denomination wo shall profit through
years to como from the knowledge of our
groogruphical and commercial situation
which will bo disseminated through the
hundreds of publications issued under
the auspices of the church and in subse
quent sermons and addresses-of the par
ticipants in the conference.
There is something moro for us to do ,
however , than merely accept these in
cidental benefits. It should bo tlio per
sonal business of every citizen of "Omaha
to assist in making the visit of these
gentlemen thoroughly enjoyable. At
every opportunity , courtesies should ba
extended them such as ono naturally
wishes to show to friends and acquaint
ances visiting the city for the lirst timo.
Special invitations to participate in
public meetings and private social
gatherings should bo bestowed wherever
such are pro per , and froqu nt drives
about the city In private carriages
should not ba overlooked. Lot every
clti/on , hinall or great , sink denomina
tional prejudices , if any exist , and place
himself in the attitude of crrucious host
to all these good people collectively and
to any ho may moot individually. We
must , show our guests that they are
royally welcome. Wo have invited them
to como among us and wo propose that
they shall remember their sojourn in
Omaha as both pleasurable and. profita
ble.

The democratic party is sorely wor
ried over the success of ther reciprocity
policy. Out of the mouths of its leaders
and In the platforms of its conventions
it tries hard to disparage that great
plan of the republican party for extend
ing American commorRo. Senator
David B , Hill pronounced it a bham nnd
humbug and his snap convention
adopted his idea. Mr , Cleveland in his
nddreas to the Ithodo Islund democrats
referred to it flippantly as if it were an
expedient from which nothing c f value
was to bo expected. In congress demo
cratic hostility to the policy has been
distinctly manifested. The Indiana
domocrate , who wildly endorsed the
candidacy of Cleveland , condemned
reciprocity as "a transparent attomp :
to impose upon the American people
the shadow of commercial freedom for
its substance. "
The conclusive and overwhelming
answer to all such denunciation is to bo
found in the statistics of increased trade
with the countries having reciprocity
arrangements with the United States.
The figures of our exports to Brazil
under the now commercial arrangement -
ment ehow n large gain , and there are
valid reasons in the political conditions
that have prevailed in thnt country , ex
erting a depressing influence upon'com -
iiierco , nnd the tremendous opposition
that has boon manifested there to reci
procity on the part of the roprusoniativas
of European caplthliats ixnd manufac
turers , why thom-owlh of our trade has
not boon grcatouv'VTho statistics of out
exports to Cubrf > 4how ah Immense in
crease , this courilr ! $ having taken prac
tically the ontii'J Hour trade of that
island , which unWjnow was in tlio hands
of Spanish millers * who were protected
in its possession by'n prohibitory tarilT.
There is not n,3ojintr.y with which re
ciprocity hns boon-negotiated that is not
buying moro Am&Mean tfoods than over
before. Nor is lVja all the advantage
that has been stiotirod through this re
publican plan for the extension of Amer
ican commorco. It aided materially in
opening the markets of Germany and
Franco to our pork products , and in in
ducing these nations to accord more
favorable consideration to other Amer
ican products than they have given
before in many years. The clause in the
tariff bill providing for reciprocity
played no small pnrt in enabling our
ministers nt Berlin and Paris to convince
the Kuropoan statesman of the expedi
ency of adoptincr a mnro liberal com
mercial policy toward the United States ,
and one of these ministers , Mr. Reid ,
recently said in n public address that
the effect 1ms boon to create a strong
sentiment in Franco favorable to n
broad and comprehensive reciprocity
arrangement with this country.
The republican party originated this
policy and has carried it lo success. The
intelligent judgment of the country ap
proves it , nnd the commercial world ac
knowledges its wisdom. It contemplates
the domination by the United Stales of
the commerce of the western hemi
sphere , nnd this 5s assured if the policy
is adhered to. With the attainment of
this the United States will bo by far the
greatest commercial power of the world ,
It is a magnificent promise that reci
procity holds out , nnd no amount of
democratic denunciation and disparage
ment will induce the American people
to permit Its abandonment. Its safety
and permanent success will bo most cer
tainly secured by continuing the repub
lican party in control ot the govern
ment.

The pig-headed and small-bore poli
ticians who are trying to assume loader-
shin of the republican party of this
stale are trying to make Riohards out to
bo a bigger man than Harrison.
In ISSy Harrison carried Nebraska by
over 25,000 majority. In 1800 Richards
was third in thp race for governor and
failed by over 3,6b ( > to have oven n plu
rality. And yot'vindicating ' and aveng
ing Richards bcc5n | to bo of moro vital
importance than re-electing Harrison.
With the vindictive ghost dancers su
premacy in 1892 is Secondary to personal
spite and Richards .himself wants lo pose
as a victim anda'martyr , when in fact ho
should bo hold responsible for the dis
aster that overtook the party in 1890 ,
just ns ho and' Hlsfj Pharisee followers
will bo responsibly if the party goes to
pieces this fall. But what does Rich
ards care ! Wjth" ! him it is simply
"After us the dolugol' '
SKN'ATOii'QUAY'B'avs the national bat
tle of 1884 was a contest of personality ,
whereas the campaign of' 18SS was pre
eminently 0110 of issues' rather than ot
candidates. Ho says the contest of this
year will again bo conducted upon prin
ciple rather than personality. This is
demonstrated , ho observes , in ndvanco
of the conventions by the varying pros
pects of at least two of the aspirants for
the democratic nomination , which rise
and fall as the financial issue promises
to become moro or less prominent in the
platform of that party. The republican
candidate , says Mr. Quay , will repre
sent a definite industrial policy already
framed in law , and a currency of stable
value in domestic and'foroign transact
ions. The Pennsylvania senator is of
the opinion thnt voters ought always to
base their choice of parties upon plat
forms rather than upon candidates , a
proposition as to which views may hon
estly dilTor. The position of Mr. Quay
regarding a republican candidate this
year is well Known. Ho does not favor
the ronominntion of President Harrison.
But ho is still a republican , and the in
ference to be drawn from what ho says
is that ho is hopeful of republican suc
cess , whether Harrison or another shall
be the candidate , bocuubu the policies of
the parly deserve to win.
Tun irrepressible conflict between the
Sherman and FoiMkor factions of thu
Ohio republicans has been sharply
waged in the selection of district dele
gates to Minneapolis and delegates to
the slate conventions , which meets at
Cleveland today. Which faction has the
best of itdoosnotnppear , butsofaras the
delegates to the national convention are
concerned it is not important , since they
will undoubtedly bo a unit in favor of
the ronomination of President Harrison.
ForaKcr has not been regarded as a
Harrison man. Ho was for Blaine BO
long us the secretary of slate was in the
list of possible candidates , and he lias not
indicated his prefoVenco since the with
drawal of Mr. 'lljtvino. Ho may bo
among the few who ! still hope the na
tional convenlioirwlll nominate Blaiiio ,
and is malting u llgu't to go to Minneapo
lis as a delogatotfjnrgp in Iho inlorost
of the secretarypC uto. If that is ills
puriwso ho is veryiikoly to bo thwarted ,
for the Harrison eontluiont among Ohio
republicans is strongly in the ascendant.
A very hot fight'ootweon the factions is
expected in thoctito ; convention , but
whatever the outcome the conflict will
not atTcct the result in November. Tlio
republicans of Ofiio-will bet united on the
candidate of the MJjuioapolis con volition.
Nor a , single ntfgro appears to have
boon killed in the late Louisiana elec
tion This goes a long way toward explaining -
plaining why the republicans were de
feated. The negroes have learned that
their lives are safe so long as they vote
the democratic ticket
DAK M. NKTTLISTOX of Clay county is
on joying some prominence just now as a
possible republican candidate for oon-
gress In his dlstrlo't Ho is big enough
and strong enough , too , by the way , to
make McKofghnn'd lifo miserable for
the next six months.
ACTINO OOVKUNOII BAIUJKII'S posi
tion In Wyoming just now is decidedly
unenviable , In thu interest of the stocK-
mon who Invaded Johnson county he
called upon the United States nrmy for
help to preserve order. In the Interest !
of good government the stockmen must
bo tried In the county where their join !
crimes wcro committed. The nrmv has
brought the prisoners to Clioyonno.
The Johnson county people are demand
ing that they shall bo sent back fet
trial. The stale of the public mind in
Johnson county makes It hardly prac
ticable to give the accused persons n
fair trial there. Tlio governor docs not
sco his way out of thu dllllculty. As r
feeler on the subject ho has written n
somewhat noncommittal letter to the
prosecuting attorney. The governor is
suto to bo condemned In his present sit
uation whatever ho may finally conclude
to do.
Ox Moxn.VY bids were opened for the
purchase of $210,000 in Omaha bonds.
They were sold ns follows : Library
bonds , $100,000 , at a premium ol
$7,571217 ; the paving bonds , $30,000 , at
$3,716 ; the sewer bonds , $30,000 , nt
$3,055. nnd the grading bonds , S10,000 ,
at $1,739.72. The last named are spe
cial assessment bonds and therefore are
not regarded so desirable as bonds for
which the city at largo is responsible.
The high premiums paid are a gratify
ing proof that the credit of Omaha in
financial circles is gilt edged. They
show that the financiers ot America
have the utmost confidence in her
future.
WHETIinil or not Squiroj and his
bondsmen can bo hold for the cost of

three years. Sbo tins weathered cyclones
nml wntorspoiits , aur/lvod collisions , been
pulled out of mnolstroiiM , and over and anon
"tho cruel rocks have gored her sides hlto
the horns ot an angry bull. " Hut sbo has
entered upon paclllo wntors asaln , and her
anils are llllod with n prosperous brcozo , nnd
sbo Is bound for a radiant port across the
purple waves. The old ship was all rlsht
horBolf. and tnoro wore bravo men and skill-
fui mariners aboard , but tbero was nlso a
.1 onnh ; a Jonah whoso nnmo was Uosowntor ,
and the gods were nngorod , nnd the vessel
seotiiocl to be doomed like old Vandordicklns
crnft of ghostly fnmo. The Jonah shipped
as nn able seaman nnd piofossod great love
for the officers nnd mon , nnd sprung amusing
stories in the lorocastlo of evenings , so
that for n tlmo ho was quite popular.
Hut ho snonltoil down the companion way In
the dark nnd knifed the captain , nnd ho tain-
perod with the comoass , nnd secured nn
nupurnnd endeavored to scuttle the ship.
And that hot- old beams nnd timbers are not
rolling on some desert shore Is not his fault.
The crew of the storm-tossed vessel nt last
discovered the Jonah , and they have cast him
overboard , nnd there Isn't a friendly whale
In nil the ocean nround that will swallow
him.
[ 'Tis well. Now lot the ehost dancing
crow find n pilot to get the ship to anchor In
a safe harbor , for there is a hurricane in
sight and dannorous roofs and rocks abound
all "round. ]

The people of Nebraska will bo Rlud to
learn that nt the republican primaries at
Omahn.yesterday , E. Uosowoto- , who was n
candidate for delogatc-at-largo to everything
In sight , was ridden nround town witbout a
stidcllo and dumped with a mellow plunk into
the soup. Every man who was suspected of
enjoying Koaowator's friendship was also
immersed in the broth , and the grand old
editor wont to bed last night with a pain in
his side , and a great longing to bo loping
through space with tbo magnificent stallion
which Inioly died. Truly , a brighter day is
dawning for Nebraska when Hosowator is
sat upon at every mark of the road. He used
to have n good deal of Influence , but as a
result of the Uiphor Education campaign ,
coni'.uctod by tbo Jackass Catteries , hn cnu't
oven control an assembly of hand-organ play-
era any more. Furo thee ivoll , Mr. Hose-
water ; nnd if forever , Mr. Rosewater , then
forever faro theo well. Mr. Kosownter.

L. D. Richards will no doubt , bo cuoson ns
a delojjate-at-largo nt the state convention
next week in Kearney. Several counties be
sides York have Instructed for him. Exact
justice would not only send him nt the head
of tbo state delegation to Minneapolis
but would scat him in the gover
nor's chair at Lincoln tnis fall. Even
Ilosowator should bo disgusted enough by
this time , with the bummer's equal , the pot
house politician , the ditch slugger , the inti
mate of the thug and the loafer , the present
governor of Nebraska to lend a hand in
placing an honest , upright , raspoctablo citi
zen of ability hlto Richards in the ofllco that
should have been his a year und a half ago.

The Grcoloy Herald , a Dotno-Alllanco paper

has been reprinted in the Lincoln ( Paddock )
Journal *
The editorial pngo of Tun Bni : is a colossal
lie. KJSO water is for Kosowator only , lie is
not oven true to his own corrupt party. Ho
is a natural traitor. He has played a confl
uence , n bunco gumo with the readers
of his paper for yours. Ho has deceived
them tlmo and npaln , nJ ho will
continue to do so-but not so many of 'em.
Ho Is n hoe a Jewish hop. The bristles
stick out all over him. Ho grunts , nnd Is
never so happy tu when In his wallow. And
his paper Is losing subjcrlbors every Uay.

engendered entirely by spite nnd onvy.
With Iho grantor papers It Is envy nna with
Iho smaller ouos It is spite , either of wllloh

Mr. Kosowator In convention If it could bo

to choose n chairman of the stiilo control

wo sincerely hope that the republicans of the
