There is hope in this fact Most of us thought there wore not republicans enough in the state for a single conven tion. AMKNDMKNTS to the Nebraska Cen tral bond proposition should bo candid nnd bona fide. Unreasonable restric tions and captious mollifications are not In tlio interest of the peonlo of this com munity. SOMI : of the students of the State uni versity have organized ivn independent party club , which fact naturally loads to the fear that the instruction at the university in political economy is not thorough. SHOULD President Clark of the Union Piu-illo make Omaha instead of Now York his headquarters and residence , the western country will fool moro Idndly than it hns felt for yoara toward the Union Pacific railway. THK democrats in congress are bo- pinning to wish they had inserted a rule authorizing the speaker to count a quorum. Without this authority they llnd legislation delayed and no end of annoyance. Besides the badlnago of the republicans when the mhjority gets into n filibustering pickle Is almost intoler able. INOAI.LB is nothing If not epigram- malic. His remark that ho did not pro- poao to rldo back Into the Bonato on a liuarso Is characteristic. At the same time It is divine notice to a certain gen tleman whoso whiskers have given him distinction , that ho will bo obliged to fight for the seat ho now holds in the United States senate in 1897 unless death carries oil John J. Ingalls. MA.IOU WILLIAM WAIINKK of Kansas City , as the republican nominee for gov ernor , can redeem Missouri unless aim is beyond redemption. Major Warner Is iho most popular republican in the state find his nomination makes It certain that Missouri will for once experience an ag gressive and interesting political cam- piil 1'n , with the republicans enjoying a fighting chance for sucooss. THOUSANDS of cltlx.onsof Omaha read with regret the mournful intelligence that Augustus Kbunlzo of Now York la nt the point of death , The eminent financier began his successful career in Omaha and has boon Identified with her commordal progress for a generation. Ills virtues , hla benefactions anil his torllng business .integrity endeared him to nil classes of our citizens , and they ollnp , oven In the face of the relentless - lentloss disease , to the hope that ho may yet survive. Tur. discussion over the payment of the Uhoctaw and Chickasaw claims for liinds In the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation should result In an exhaust ive investigation into the extent and character of subsidies paid by Indian tnbos to attorneys for allugcd services In securing appropriations. In the In- etanco in question the Choctaw and ChlcUaaaw legislatures agreed to pay throe attorneys or lobbyists twenty-five per ' 'ont of the timount recovered aa foes for services. This is an outrage upon common > OIIBO , if not common honesty , and the president Is right in calling the nUontlon of the senate nnd licuso to the exorbitant commission the avaricious lobbyists claim , Senator Toller's snarl to the contrary notwithstanding. A onoin.vo According to tho. report ot a spoclnl ngont of the Treasury department tha tin plato Industry In the United States has Increased nearly..four-fold within n your. In Iho quarter ending Soptonv borSO , 1691thoro worobut live manufac turers who made 827,000 pounds. In the next quarter the number of manu facturers had Increased to cloven nnd the production to 1,410,000 pounds. For the quarter ended March 31 , 1892 , reports wore recolvod from nineteen manufncturura , who had made 3,004,000 pounds. The special ngont estimates that by 1897 , five years hence , the manu- facturorors of tin plato in the United States will bo able to make 200,000,000 pounds , this result depending , of course , upon the tnalntonanco of the protection given the Industry by the present tariff. The minority of the house committee on ways and moans n few days ago sub mitted Its views In opposition to the bill removing the duty from tin plato. The report states , from statistics on file in the Treasury department , that the pro duction of tin plato from July 1 , 1891 , to March 31 , 1892 , shows an increase of moro than 000 per cent , and the esti mated capacity of works already estab lished nnd projected shows a probable output of in the neighborhood of 6-100- , 000 pounds a week , which , at forty-five weeks In the year , would give n produc tion of 2-13,000,000 pounds , moro than one-third of the imports Into the United States , and nearly 81,000,000 pounds in excess of the total consumption of Great Britain. On April 23 there had been organized for the manufacture of tin nnd tcrno plates forty-two companies , of which twonty-slx wore actually engaged in manufacturing operations nt that date. Already at least $15,000,000 has found Investment In this Industry , nnd it is very probable that as much moro will bo Invested in it within the next year. Another Interesting fact noted by the minority report , which can easily bo verified by reference to the market quo tations , Is that the foreign price of tinplate plato has decreased by nearly the amount of the increase of 'the duty. It Is also shown that the incriaso of domestic prices has been comparatively slight , being in fact only a trlllo moro than n half cent a pound over the average price of the eleven voars from 1881 to 1891. 1891.Tho The history of American industries docs not furnish an instance of any enterprise that has grown moro rapidly than the tin plate industry , nnd in view of the promise of n btill more vigorous progress in the future , if the moderate and reasonable protection given it is not removed , it would seem that there could bo no difference of opinion , nt any rate among these who have n gen uine concern for the increase of Ameri can industries , as to the duty of retain ing the present duty. This might not be so if it were shown that the duty had caused any appreciable advance in the price to consumers , but it has not done and there is no reason to expect that it will do so. To remove the duty would bo solely in the interest of the British manufacturers , who when they had com plete control of'the American market exacted from the consumers of this country moro than double the present price of tin plato. A'KIP rOIlK IX LIKE rOR HARRfSON. Republicans throughout the country havu felt some anxiety as to Iho attitude of republican leaders in Now York toward President Harrison. There have been reports of dissatisfaction and disaf fection there , of implacable factional antagonisms , nnd of the purpose of cer tain loaders to relentlessly oppose the ronominatlon of Harrison. It is unques tionably true that some things done by the national administration have not been satisfactory to all the republican politicians of the Empire state. It could not bo otherwise , sinceit would bo abso lutely impossible for any president to plenso everybody. The necessary effect ot this is to create factions , and it is not to bo doubted that some of the disap pointed leaders In Now York have done what they could to incite hostility to the president nnd to create opposition to his runominntion. But the sentiment nnd the action of the republican state convention show that whatever has boon done In this direction has failed to have the desired effect , and that the republicans of Now York are practically unanimous in favor of again making President Harrison the standard bearer of the party. The con vention was harmonious and enthusi astic , and there was no doubtful moanIng - Ing In the applause with which it slgnl- fi ed npprovaj of the eulogistic reference to the ability nnd patriotism of the president. The platform endorsement of the administration was cordial and earnest , und everything showed that the republicans of the Kmplro state are pre pared , under the leadership of Benja min Harrison , to go into the campaign , as was said by the permanent chairman , Mr. Whltolaw Reid , with their Hag My- Ing , "on no still hunt for votes , to bo had by hldingour opinions , but with our principles and the record of our party to the front nnd with candidates worthy of both. " Whtlo republican SUCCORS In the presi dential election may bo achieved with out Now York , thut state is tndlsponsl- bio to democratic victory nnd consequently quently there , ns in the last throe na tional contests , will bo the great battle ground of the campaign. If the repub licans of the Empire state go Into the fight united and harmonious , ns there is now every reason to believe they will , they ought to win. The recent record of the democracy of the state , demon strating anew the capacity of that party for anything however shameless and un scrupulous in order to attain power , should insure republican victory in November vombor by a much larger plurality than Harrison received four yoara ago. The results of the spring municipal and county elections Indicated a change of popular sentiment most , encouraging to republican prospects , and the course of the democrats In congress regarding sil ver , showing unmistakably that a largo majority of them are favorable to free coinage , can hardly have failed to repel from the party thousands of democrats In Now York who believe in a sound cur rency and an honcet dollar. There is every incentive , therefore , to the repub licans of the Empire state to "got to gether" nnd to work harmoniously , earnestly and aggressively for success. THK AFRO-AMRlllOAXS. The annual meeting of the Afro- American league , now In progress In this city , is a gathering worthy of moro than passing mention. It represents the intelligence of the race in this state. Its deliberations are distinguished by the high character of the addresses made by men and women loss than a generation removed from the bondage of slavery. The eloquent , sensible nnd thoughtful discussions of the topics pro posed as the meeting progresses show beyond the possibility of contradiction that these people are not only deeply In earnest , but determined that they shall bo accorded the rights guaranteed them by the constitution of their country. It Is not surprising that they cry out indignantly ngainst some of the hard conditions imposed upon them by their white neighbors , yet there are no throats of vengeance , or other proposi tions for unlawful or revolutionary at tacks upon the so'cial order ot our com munities. The peaceful solution of the problem which comes from education , industry , tompornnco nnd morality , is ndvocatod. There Is no talk of anarchy , antagonism or bloodshed as n means of forcing down the barriers to the progress of the race. Patience , faith , hope and appeals to Almighty God and the sense of justice of the whites mark the ef forts of these leaders of the colored people ple , and it is safe to assume that they rollout the common sentiment of their people. TUB BEB believes in the colored pee pie. It recognizes in them n loyalty , a faithfulness to convictions of right , nnd a determination to earn the recognition to which their past services to the coun try entitle them , that promises bettor things for the future. It believes they will bo able to work out their own sal vation along these lines , to the extent of securing their civil rights in every com munity , whatever may bo their future social relations with other races. They have demonstrated In the last thirty years that they are capable of high intellectual achievements. They have proved themselves competent for all industrial pursuits. They have shown themselves good citizens , and established their right to the protection and encouragement of their follow citizens. They are working out their full enfranchisement against fearful odds , slowly but surely. Time nnd the over-ruling Providence in which nine-tenth : ) of them have most implicit faith are emollients which are softening the hardness of an npparontly relentless fate. Lot every dark-skinned member of the Afro-American league take heart. TRICKS OF THE TRADE. Some time ago the city of Cincinnati advertised for bids from the various electric lighting companies for lighting the whole city. The chief competitors wore the Thomson-Houston , the Brush and the Cincinnati companies. Each had an independent plant in the city and each was competent to fulfil the contract. When the bids wore opened the Brush company was found the low est bidder , having proposed an nil night service at seventeen cents per night for are lights of 2,000 candle power. An drew Ilickonloopor , president of the Cincinnati company , ono of the defeated companies , immediately bought out the Brush company nnd assumed the con tract. Not only so , but ho also captured the franchise nnd plant of the Thomson- Houston company and two smaller con- corns. General Ilickonloopor then quietly proceeded to allow the Brush com pany to default , the city having re course upon that company's bonds men for $50,000. This suit is still in the courts. Meantime ho appears also to have absorbed the city council for that body refused the Edison General Electric Lighting company of Now York , a franchise. An Ohio law circumvents venal councils , however , and the courts ordered the new company to be granted a franchise. > . Thereupon bids wore again advertised for. The Hickonloopor company came in with a bid of $93.75 per lamp per an num. The Edison General under a local name bid $81.00 and so made General - oral Hickonloopor's trickery of no avail. The present rate is $144 per lamp. The city requires 2,000 lamps. The now company therefore If it carries out its contract faithfully will save to the city of Cincinnati $118,200 per annum. The now Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric Light company hns recently in creased its capital stock to $1,100,000. It aims to remain in business evidently. The present rate of compensation is $175 per 2,000 candle power lamp. This company has effectually shut out all competition thus far. It is a strong corporation. The Thomson-Houston Electrlo company at Its an nual mooting I n Middlotown , Conn. , early In the present month presented n balance dhoot show ing profits for 1891 of $2,700,780. The surplus January 80 , 1892 was $7,515,947. The Omaha company Is perhaps as profitable as any of the auxiliary com panies and these figures glvo some Idea of the immense profits enjoyed by olec- trio light companies generally , If Cin cinnati can bo lighted for $84.90 per 2,000 candle power lamp why should Omaha continue to pay $175 after the expiration of the existing contract ? Will the Ilickonloopor trick bo nt- tempted In Omaha ? Will the council and the people profit by the experience of Cincinnati or will thoyqulotly permit themselves to bo hoodwinked by the shrewd monopolist controlling the local corporation ? FiiOM his vantage ground in Now York , Mr. Murat Halstond expresses the opinion through his Cincinnati paper that Mr. Cleveland will not bo nom inated at Chicago. Ho nays the ox- president hns not got the solid south nnd that there is serious opposition to him in that section. The farmers alli ances there are against him under all circumstances and expect the friends of Senator Hill to dicker with them nt Omaha. Thou Mr. Hnlstoad says that Cleveland hns not got the Indiana dele gation , for Dan Yoorhoos , the real demo cratic leader in that state , is against him. Even Massachusetts has boon frac tured as a Cleveland stato. Kentucky , ho thinks , will compliment Cleveland nnd stub him. Ohio Is counted ( or the ox-president urfciout warrant "Ohio , Indiana , KontiAty i\na Illinois , " says Mr. llttlstond , 'Tirfr4ho political cantor ot the country , nnd they will bo unsound nt the start and presently seriously op posed to Cleveland , " nnd that would do- font him. A poHtlc.il observer ol such experience ami nrtolHgcnco aa Mr. Ualstoad la not likely to make rash cal culations , and yet It Is to bo ( oared that ho has boon yloldlim too much to the In fluence of Mr.WRifa , with whoso fore cast of the sltunMon ho Is In very close agreement. NwoVtholossi there Is cogency In Mr. Halstoad's argument , and although the ohnncos of Mr. Cleveland - land sooin to have boon very much Im proved within the last month n great deal of the country Is yet to bo hoard 'roui ' < _ TKLUCH and Wolcott are delegates to the national republican convontion. They have boon Instructed by Colorado republicans at their own request not to vote for a candidate who Is opposed to free coinage of sliver. The gentlemen will bo Interesting spectacles in their isolation. There will bo no man seri ously proposed nt the convention who Is in favor of this Iltmuclul heresy ns it Is advocated by the two Colorado states men. They will bo forced to flock by themselves. TtlK silver senators are now wasting their breath in exhaustive harangues upon free coinage. The gentlemen must not find fnult with their constituents for doubting their sincerity. The silver senators waited until the Bland bill had been unceremoniously , but effectually , put to sloop before they began barking up the free coinage tree. Their course clearly indicates that they fool slighted in falling to secure federal patronage. THE good people who imagined Ohio and Now York republicans wore torn by conflicting factional interests and would utilize the state conventions ns occasions for committing political sulcido , have doubtless observed that pence nnd har mony reigned supremo. There are no breaks anywhere in the republican ranks. The little diversion in the silver state of Colorado will only boa ripple on the surf nee. at Minneapolis. Nut Tliln Yimr.

WSat does Senator Teller moan by his throat that unless tbo republicans in congress - gross vote for free silver the silver producing states will have to bo put in the doubtful column for the coming election ! The states which ho thus disposes of nro Colorado , Montana , Nevada and Idaho. Does ho moan by this throat that the republican free silver loaders are going to remain away from tlio polls or give their support to the democratic ticket ? Probably ho Intends bin words to boar this Interpretation. These states will bavu just thirteen electoral votes , and Mon tana , whbh has tbroo votes. Is doubtful In any event. The possible loss , therefore , often ton electoral votes to tbo republicans Is to bo bold ns a club over tho. head ot the party to compel it to alter Its policy on one of the ab sorbing Issues of the day , and to bring about whnt It has all along held would bo utterly disastrous to ttio business interests cf the country. KHUcr tbo Colorado statesman was too excited to bo entirely responsible for this menace when ho ultorud ir or ho thinks tbo republican party holds principles choaply.

The movement toward greater popular power In Belgium ! s now so strong that It cannot bo safely disregarded. At the tlrao when Belgium became an Independent ttato , in 1S.10 , It was generally thought that the constitution wai an extremely liberal ono , but as time lias gone by , other European stale * have outstripped the former In the movement toward popular government , The Belgian constitution of 1S31 provides for n " anil monarchy " "representative hereditary , nnd the government consists of the king , the Chamber of Uoprcsentallvcs nt.d the Sonata. The power of the king In national affairs It rigorously limited , as no net of bis Is valid without the endorsement ot ono of his minis ters , and iho cabinet Is responsible to the Belgian voters. Tbo legislative power Is vested In the House of Representatives and tbo Senate , but no not ot the latter body can bo rooognizod unless tnkon ( luring the totslon ot the former. Both bnuichos of the Belgian legislature are chosen by n "pomilar" vote ; that Is , by the citizens who are entitled under the constitu tion to vote , nnd It Is because the number of national doctors ii 10 small , because tbo right of "popular" suffrage is so limited , that the present popular dissatisfaction exists. The House of H oprcaouUxtivos consists of about 140 mombon , and the Belgian Bonato of halt that number. The representatives nro elected for four years , the biennial elec tions serving to determine tbo political tate of one-half the number of the members of the house. The senators servo for olght years , half of their number being elected every four years. In case of the dissolution of the Bel gian legislature by tbo king , a general elec tion follows In all districts. To vote In provincial and communal elections the cltlzon must not only bo of ago but must pay direct annual taxes of SO francs for tbo provinces and 10 francs for the communes. Thorn are now about 500,000 communal and 400,000 pro vincial electors. To vote In national elec tions the citizen must show that ho has paid direct stale taxes amounting to 40 francs per year , and this rule has narrowed down the voting list to about 130,000 electors , or about two voters to every 100 Inhabitants. This property discrimination Is felt to bo particu larly moauttablo and unjust In Its workings , and the present movement towards popular government , in the direction of granting the francblso to all citizens , has gained general support , not only among ttio disfranchised citizens , but also from King Leopold himself. . * . It Is stated that Prlnco Ceorco ofVnlea Is to marry the Princess Mary of Tcclt , wno was betrothed to his older brother , the late Prince Albert Victor. F.or such a transfer from ono brother to another tboro Is a memorable - orablo recent precedent In the case of the present czarina , who , ns Princess Dngmnr of Denmark , was first engaged to the oldest son of Alexander II. , and upon tbo death of her tlanco married his brother , the present czar. Even had the marriage with the Prince of Wales' oldest son actually taken plnco , a subsequent union with bis brother woulu hare found a parallel In tbo marrlngo of Henry VIII. to Catharine of Arragon , who had been previously wedded to bis old or brother , Prince Arthur. There was no rea son , beyond the prompting of at- octlon , why Alexander III. of Kussla should have married the Princess Dag- mar. On the other hand , the union of tbo heir presumptive to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland to his third cousin , Princess Mary of Took , is commended upon various grounds of political expediency. The Encllsh people are vary tired of seeing their sovereigns soak their consorts In Germany. Since Anne of Cloves was repudiated by Henry VIII. , who cursed Thomas Cromwell for bringing over the "fat Flandon mare , " tboro has bcon no sympathy felt in England for tbo loan Iclno of Teutonic extraction who have come to browse and fatten on the Eng lish revenues. If n semblance of monarchy Is to survive the Impending wreck of tbo House of Lords moro pains must bo taken than the Hanoverian dynasty has yet been shrewd enough to take to al lay the prejudices and win the hearty good will of the British taxpayers. The English workmen , who at no distant day will regulate the civil list , and who are already clamoring for measures of restriction against the Inflow of Gorman cheap labor into London , will revolt ut the intrusion of another Gorman emigrant into the English royal family. It Is true that to llnd a drop Of genuine English blood In Princess Mary of Took ono must go back for It nearly tbroo centuries to James VI. Since the marriage ot the king's daughter Elizabeth to tbo Elec tor Palatine , every ono of tbo progenitors , male and female , of the proposed bride ot Prlnco George of Wales have boon Gorman. But the young princess herself , and her mother , who before her marriage was known as Princess Mary of Cambridge , were taught to speak English In infancy , und were brought upas English woman , # # There are some Interesting statistics about London In the summary ot the registrar gon- orul for 1801 , which baa just been published. The district referred to is what Is generally known as Inner London , as distinct from Outer London , which Includoa the outlying suburbs. Within the registration bounda ries tboro were last year 55U,7ul houses , with 4,211,050 inhabitants , or 7.0 pcrnuns to each house. The area Is 1-1 square miles , with 1,703 ral'.os of roaas. On an average tncra nro 57 parsons to an ncro , but In the most densely populated parts , In Sborodituh , for Instance , t-boro are 101. Tbo marriages of 74,590 persons were solemnized In London during 1891 , tbo proportion to tbo popula tion being htghnr than in any year since 1833. The births numbered 134,003 , or 01.8 per 1,000 , the lowest on record , with the exception of the year IS'JO. The excess of births over deaths , however , was 43,787. A table SUOV73 tbo birth and death rates during 1SUI In each of the flvo groups Into which London Is divided , west , north , central , east ana south. It appears that the birth rates ranged from 27.0 per 1.000 In the west to 33.1 per l.OOi ) in the eaat dUlrlcta , and the death rate , which only raii od between 10.5 and iiO.3 In the west , north and south , wai equal to 23.0 in tbo east , and to as much as ti'.t ) per 1,030 In the central districts. The mortality from zymotic diseases last year In the cen tral nnd east districts also showed a similar excess as compared , witn the rest of tbo metropolis. * The movement to secure IndooendcnV con sular representation for Norway is creating much interest in thut country and In Sweden , Ainonu tbo advocates of iho scheme are the president of the Norwegian Storthing and other prominent men.Vhat tlu y claim is this : Their own representatives abroad as distinct from these ot Sweden , a sonaratu minister of foreign affairs , tbo abolition of thu Norwegian part of the mixed Councilor State thut sits at Slocuholm , and a few other less Important points , Tboy demand thcso concessions as indispensable for ttio mainte nance of ttio union. The program Is not ap proved of In commercial and shipping circles , A short tlmo ago tbo project of separate rep resentation abroad was discussed at tbo laruu Commercial association at CbrUtlanla , and was rejected by 120 vote against 02. Ono of tbo most Influential speakers de clared that a separate consular representa tion would be the ilrst atop toward the np- nolntmont of two mlnlstorsof foreign affairs , and In bis opinion no king could rule with two minister * of foreign affairs a state nf things which might uvuntunlly prove tanta mount to the same king having two different opinion * .
