The republicans of Nebraska have
given an unqualified and enthusiastic
endorsement of President Harrison for
renoniinntion. The state convention
haa not only endorsed Harrison and
Instructed the do ogatcs-tvt-largo to
clvohlm thor | unwavering support , but
tlio convention exacted a personal
plcdgo froih each of the delegates to
carry out those Instructions.
Tlio practical unanimity with which
the convention expressed its approval
of President Harrison's administration
and its desire to make htm the standard
bonror Jn the impending campaign is a
striking pruof of Ills popularity in No-
bniska. Never before lias the conven
tion of a political party In tills state
been BO nearly unanimous for a presi
dential candidate as was tlio convention
at Kearney , and the harmony In the
party which was thus shown is the boat
possible augury of success in November.
It demonstrated that the republicans of
Nebraska are fully satisfied with the
conduct and policy of the administra
tion , that as to the presidential candi
date and national issues there nro no
factional dilToronces , and the olToct will
bo to hold the party together and
strengthen It as the campaign pro-
grosses.
The district delegates having boon in
structed for Harrison , the delegation
from this state to Minneapolis will bo a
unit for his ronominatlon , and the six
teen votes it will cadt will represent a
republican constituency as earnest and
loyal in its support of the president as
any in the nation.
THU HJ.M1A" DKl'AKTMKXT.
A member of the State Board of Trans
portation expresses the opinion that' it
is not possible for trouble to coma
because the grain inspection depart
ments may not bo solf-susUiining.
IIo cites tha warehouse law , wherein -
in it is provided that there shall
bo no salary to employes engaged in
weighing or inspecting grain unless the
fees of the olllco pay the same. The ex
cess of fees , if any , is turned into the
state treasury , but tv shortage in fees
merely deprives the employes of the
amount not collected. IIo does not ap
prehend that there is any danger of a
dollcioncy bill being presented.
The gnntloman is correct enough so
far ns ho goes. The law ia expected to
sustain itsell , and the state employes
engaged under its provisions arc paid in
fees unk'ss the amounts collected exceed
the salaries specified. The trouble is
not avoided , however , by this fact. The
woighmastors and their chief are not
expecting to work for nothing. If they
maintain their establishment tlioy will
undoubtedly present a claim to the legis
lature for any deficiency which may
occur between the salaries specified in
the bill and the aggregate of the fees
collected. The State Board of Transpor
tation may not approve the claims or
may oven antagonize thorn. Neverthe
less some friendly legislator will bo
found willing to advocate their cause ,
and thus bring the matter before tno
legislature.
It is hero that the danger lies. The
warehouse law is by no moans perfect.
Its friends hope for important amend
ments in tlio next legislature. They do
not carq to bo confronted at the outset
by a dollcioncy whioh hag grown out of
the extravagance of ollicnrs appointed
by the Board of Transportation to ad
minister tlio law. The weighing de
partment as it is now running will fall
behind inevitably. The foes during tlio
coining dull season will scarcely pay the
salary of u single employe and there
will not bo work for moro than ono man.
It is not necessary to absorb all the foes
of the ofllco. Perhaps by economy a
small sum can bo turned inty the treas
ury to the credit of the law , and this
would assist its friends in securing fa
vorable consideration for any amend
ments proposed. The slate board should
not rest on the theory that if the weigh-
master and his employes do not collect
enough Jo pay them ordinary wages
they must go without remuneration.
Till ! AhblANVK I.V THE SOUTH.
A council of the presidents and execu
tive committees of stuto alliances in the
south ia to bo hold , at Birmingham , Ala. ,
next week. The stirring call for this
mooting suggests that those organiza
tions lira in peril. It declare * that this
is the moat critical period in the history
of the order. The political contest , it
is stated , threatens the destruction o
the order , and unless there is concert of
action this must bo tlio result. ' 'Tho
emergency is great , " roads tlio call ,
' and the necessity for full and free
council by all executive otHcers is greater
than at any time In the history of tin
movement. " The obvious inference
from this'oarnost appeal Is that the alli
ance In the soutli is on the verge of dis
solution arid that an extraordinary olTort
is necessary to save it fr.om going to
pieces.
The slmplo explanation is that tlio
members of the southern alliance ,
nearly all of whom hnvo boon lifelong
democrats , are manifesting a purpose
to renounce the now political movement
into which the loaders have sought to
draw thoiu and to resume nutlvo rela
tions with the old lurty. This is what
IB meant by the statement that "tho po
litical contest threatens the destruction
of the order. " The democratic loaders
In the south , who hud became alarmed
nt tlio designs of the alliance loaders ,
which threatened to seriously impair
tholr power and relegate some of them
to political obscurity , with the possibil
ity of making a breach In the solid
south , have boon doing a great deal of
quiet but effective work among the rank
and fllo of the alliance membership.
Kvldoiitly they have boon able tt > con
vince tv very largo number that they
have far moro to expect from the demo
cratic party than from a third political
organization , and it is conceivable that
this was not a dllllcult task when old
political alUHiV.lon and sectional feeling
were earnestly appealed to. The very
large majority of southern alliance ir.om-
bors are democrats first , and while they
wore induced to make war on tholr old
party with a view to remedying local
grievances , when a national campaign
confronts thorn their votes are at the
command of the democracy ,
Undoubtedly this will bo found to bo
the casu In the presidential election of
this your. A show of interest in the
third party movement will bh kept up in
the south with the design offglvlng en
couragement to the movement In the
noVlh , but duo care will bo taken that it
shall do the democracy no harm at the
ballot box. How much the call for the
Birmingham council represents a , real
sense of clangor to the order It is impos
sible to say. It is certainly serious
enough in spirit and tungungui But at
nny rate it will probably accomplish
llttlo of importance. If the southern
alliance is disintegrating from the re
turn of Its members to active participa
tion in democratic politics the process
will not stop , because the movement is
prompted by the strongest of motives ,
the desire to keep the south solid for the
democracy. Monntlmo whatever liillu-
oncotho southern alliance loaders onn
exert to keep nllvo the third party
movement in the republican states of
tlio north will not bo withheld. It is
quito possible , however , that they will
discover that members of tlio alliance In
the north who have hitherto acted with
tlio republican party are not disposed to
act as catspaws to the democracy.
THIIKAT O/1 Till ; S/TiVKK JIBA .
The convention of the Colorado Free
Silver league adopted n platform whioli
foreshadows the probable action of the
national convention of free silver advo
cates , to bo hold next month , so far aa
the relations of these pcopln to the old
political parlies are concerned. Ono of
the resolutions declares that If the Min
neapolis and Chicago conventions fail to
nominate ns candidates for president
and vice president men with pronounced
views as to the free and linllmitod coinage -
ago of silver , and upon a platform
pledged to that end , it will become the
duty of those who favor that policy to
support for president and vice president
only candidates of such party as prom
ises the sncodicst reinstatement of silver
ns tlio money ot tlio nation on an equal
ity with gold.
It is absolutely certain Unit the Min
neapolis convention will not in ilscandi-
date or its platform show any favor to
the free coinage of silver. It cannot bo
predicted with any degree of certainty
what the Chicago convention will do ,
The expressions on this question ot the
democratic state conventions so far hold
show great confusion of views on the
subject , and it is certain to bo thosoiirco
of a hard fight in the national conven
tion. But it is not at all probable that
the candidate or the platform of the
democracy will distinctly favor free sil
ver. The threat of the silver men will
hnvo no inlluonco at Minneapolis and it
is not likely to have much at , Chicago.
There remains the third party , which ,
if it nominates a candidate for presi
dent , will select a man who favors frco
silver coinage and make a platform that
ho cau stand upon. This is the only
hope of the silver people of Colorado ,
who proclaim their readiness to desert
the old parties if they Qo not accord
them their demand and give their tup-
port to the now political movement with
all its financial absurdities and fantastic
economic vagaries. The promise may
prove an incentive to the promoters of
the third party to put a presidential
ticket in the Held , although the move
ment has been growing weaker of late
and there are- evidences of rapid disin
tegration. .
How far the Colorado sentiment ex
tends will bo made apparent by. the
action of the national silver convention
which moots u month hence , but it will
not bo surprising if that body repeats
the throat of the Colorado convention.
In that event the country will got a full
and fair understanding of the extent to
which the advocates of free silver coinage -
ago are prepared to go in order to carry
out their policy. They would subordi
nate every other question and nil other
interests to this , and rather than make
any concession they will lend their
countenance and support to doctrines
which , if they should prevail , would reduce -
duce the financial and economic systems
of the country to chaos and bring about
general disorder. Tlio reckless despera
tion o the silver men has had no paral
lel in the history of the country , and its
olToct upon the national welfare of the
nation is hurtful both at home and
abroad. It keeps alive distrust , which
manifests itself in the return of Ameri
can securities and the export of gold ,
and in the disposition of capital to re
main on the safe bide by keeping out of
enterprises and in vestments whioli
would bo affected by a radical change In
our financial system. The monanco of
free coinage is the cliiof obstacle to that
general revival of prosperity which
ovoiy condition favors.
Tin : diplomatic and consular.bill has
boon reported to the house. It proposes
to reduce the estimates for tills service
by ever $500 000 , and to appropriate
$72,000 loss than last year. A part of
tlio reduction Is made by placing Den
mark , Sweden and Norway in ouo mis
sion ; Colombia and Ecuador In another ,
and Peru and Bolivia in another , This
is a fair sumple of the democratic idea
of economy. To save tlio salary of a
foreign minister it is proposed to olVond
Denmark. Just at the time when the
pan-Aniorlean idea is taking , root and
our trade relations with South American
republics bogrlns to look promising , two
South American rations are 'to bci de
prived of American ministers. In botli
these cases tlio salaries of thootllolal rep
resentatives amount to a mai-o bagatelle.
The total amount saved by the consoli
dations is but J23.000. This government
cannot afford to Irive tlio 111 will even of
Ecuador for 82-5,000. It is to bo Hoped
the broader statesmanship of the soimlu
will comprehend the situation und pre
vent the consummation of this scheme
of false economy.

When the Now York republican convention

combination against I'rosldont Harrison's re

The headquarters' of antl-admlnistratiou

thru Messrs. Platt and Miller , who are sup <
posed to control four-fifths of the convention
delegates , still haruor tbo delusion that Now
York cau control tlio nomination for prcsl'

them to seek out dlsinlisfled republican

In regard to the purchase of now papers It
U well to remember.

The decided colors nnd largo design *
should bo reserved for ulnlng room , libra rv

That , finally , the prettiest anil most anil-
nblo paper is not always the most expensive
only almost always.
That doilcato colors are to bpnod o\\vav \
In bedrooms ; generally In parlors anil draw *
Ing rooms us well ,
That on general principles light papers nro
moro desirable than dark , booausn they make
rooms moro cheerful nnd livable.
That no house can bo considered n attecoss
from nn nrtlitlo point of view the paper ,
draperies ami carpets ot which are qon-
tlnually nt wnrfftro with ouc another.
That n house to bo successfully pnporetl
must bo treated as a whole , not by plooumonl.
In other words , however diverse the color

The leather imitation is much admlrod for
dining rooms , but It soareoly gcoms In * uch
good tiuto ns paper or tapestry , nllhouirh its
design , apparently omlossod In brass headed
tacks , is generally In keeping with the other
furnishings.
In many houses crotqnno Is used In plnno
ot paper on the walls , hung from molding to
mop board. The frlozo nnd oeillni ; of rooois
treated In this way uro generally tinted A
plain , solid color , which must of oourso bar-

A fnvorlto color combination for reception

signs of thoio papers are Rouorally conven
tionalized flowers tulips , chrysnuihoinums ,
mid rpsos treated lu n bold , free stylo. They
nro printed In green on n eload white book-
ground.
For drawing rooms mm parlors stripes will
bo much used henceforth Just straight lines
of color In velvet or satin effects upon n deep
ly ridged ground In pearl , cream , soft gray
so stamped as to represent heavy gros drain
silk. I'lnln colors , too , nro being introduced
gradually into the drawlug room.
For dining rooms , halls , and llbrnrv CJobelln
designs carried out by skillful French work
men on heavy oreaui paper nro much used
nnd well liked. The color sehomo In nil of
them Is bold nnd striking , especially adapted
for the decoration of these rooms In whlcr
by general consent color is allowed to niu
riot , where richness and warmth Is expected
nnd welcome.
Heavily glared damp proof paper in tlio
designs tire the best , indeed the only pnpera
for bath rooms. The squares are In keeping
with the bedroom out of which the bith :
opens , nnd a pleasant repetition of Its color
ing IP n different pattern. This paper can
bo wiped off with a damp cloth nuil cunmnts ,
thus preserving the spick nnd spnn look of
glossy porcelain so refreshing to the eyes of

r"rcnch effects nro rather moro in demand
than any others this season. The graceful
festoons of flowers , caught up by lovers'
knots of ribbon , which ornament most of the
papers of this class , seem to appeal directly
nnd forcibly to popular Uato. The coloring ,
too , Is softly bloudod and artistically npplied.
so that , while In the finer grudos us many as
11 fly-two distinct colors appear , the design
as a whole is harmonious and soothing.

filrls from 1 to 13 years of ago wear straw
hats with sugar-loaf crowns , set far back on

The summer outfit of my llttln lady , until
she Is 10 or 13 years old , should consist ot
about a dozen gingham dresses , three or four

A dross of deep tea camorlo has p. blouse

Simplicity looseness and wnrmth-tlioso nro
the watchwords in the realm of children's
fashions. Short enough to run inlongonough

A quaint cloak , suitable for a child of 4 , is
of biscuit colored cannl's nalr cloth , uuliuvd
that it may bo worn In summer as well as
spring. It , Is prettily cut with two handker
chief points in the bad : forming a double
capo. A Jaunty liut to match the coat Is
made In camel's lialr cloth , nnd is trimmed
with rosettes of dark brown silk.
A neut little costume for a girl of 0 or 3
years ts made in dark navy blue serge. It is

two bands ot white serge embroidered Iniroid

row of gold buttons. The cuffs and pockets
are trimmed with white serge embroidered in

Sailor frocks are always popular amongllt-
tlo girls themselves us well"ns tholr elders.
A picturesque dress of this sort is of blue

floen sailor collar over a waistcoat ot white

The full sleeves of blue serge have long cults
of white embroidered with gold , while a largo
blue snah is Knotted on ono side and falls al

Liineham gowns for very little cirls appear
