OMAHA will undoubtedly respond
promptly and geiiurously to any demuit ;
that may ho iiiado upon it to assist the
people who have sulTorcd by the Hoods

immunity from serious dmnngc , and our

Tlir. olTorts of the Omaha Kpiseopal-
to secure the triennial convention
of that church at this plaeo deserve
more eiicouragomnnt thiiu they ro-
roivcd. The ns urtioii that Omaha
could not properly entertain that con
vention within throe years is absurd.
The general nml co'dial expression of
Biitisfaclion by tlio Methodist delegates
is a sutlloiont answer to those objtfetions.
IT IS questionable whether the side
walk inspector over visits the northern
part of the city. In view of the
wretched condition of many of the side
walks In that portion of Omaha , it is at
least charitable to suppose that ho does
not. It Is respectfully suggested that
be could improve his reputation as a
faithful public olllcial by putting in
some of his time there , and it might
alho bo the means of Having the city
dnmages for broken leys or ether

TliK democratic great newspapers do

tlon of 1SSS8 boounso of the nriny'young

John A. Logan declared publicly that

bum. Hut in this campaign of I8)2 ! ) wo
huvo both the veterans' HODS' votes and
the college graduates' votes. The great

Index of a growth of republicanism and
protection in colleges which is simply
astonishing. The republican party can
not fall to win this year.
SPAIN has rmnoved the prohibition

of the markets of Kutopo for our pork
products enough has boon done under

What hns frequently boon said , thnt
the member * of the alliance In the south
are democrats fl'-st ' and can bo depended
upon to support the domm-rattc 'nndl-
! dates In the national cuntost. is every
day receiving proof.
A short limn ngo a meeting of alii-
tincu leadots was hold at lUrmlnghnm ,
Aln. The pretext for this was thnt
politics thrmitoneil to dlsorgnnl/.o the
order. 'I hero was ti contest , it was
understood , in many of the subordinate
allintices between these who believed In
adhering to the democratic party and
the supporters of the new political
movement from which there was danger
of goncral dcmoni.izntlon and disinte
gration. The mooting of executive of-
lifers was called ostensibly to correct
this state of ulfairs. but na the result
showed , really in. tlio interest of the de
mocracy. The policy unjoined upon al
liance members , whllo It did not con-
tcmphlo any inlorforonco with those
who hold to the democratic faith-ills-
co\mtoimnccd \ the encouragement of
now political movements. It ncod
hardly bo .nd that every man who took
pirt : in that meeting N a democrat and
doubtless intends to support tho-nomi-
neos of the Chicago convention , and
there is good reason to hcliovo that the
meeting was hold at the IiiHtigiuion of
dcinniiratlc leados : who were becoming
apprehensive that defections to the
third party mipbt grow to bo so numer
ous as to imperil the solld'ty ' of the
couth.
There is further evidence that , the
southern alliance is practically in the
control of the domocratlc party In the
fact thit : prominent members of the or
gan i/ation have been selected IU delegates -
gates to the Chic.ijjo con volition. Men
who hiivo ultoinoti to public position by
professing ynivilhy | with the aims of
the alliance will go to the democratic
national convention and help to nomi
nate n democratic candidate for presi
dent , Theya-o profescdly < still in sym
pathy with the objects of tlio alliance ,
but they are for democratic success llrst
mm their inlluonco will bo exerted and
their vole * given to that end.
Ncvorlholchd the southern alliance
will send representatives t' > the Omaha
convention on . .luly pivp.irol to give
the most uiqu : lilliod msuruncos that
the order is in full and ho irty accord
with the third par'y movomont. and is
ready to join hands with t.iio .illiaiuvj of
the north in the olTort to overthrow the
old parties. Those mnn will como here
with eloquent appeals for a now politi
cal d''parturo while their hearts swell
with love of the "old party of .JotTerson
and Jackson. "
They will gliblv and with apparent
sincerity counsel the farmers and workingmen -
ingmon of the north to desert the repub
lican party and support the new move
ment , at the snmo time conscious of
their own unalterable purpose to vote
the democratic ticket. It is a smooth
scheme that the alliunce-doinocrats of
the snulh are working to turn the government -
ornment over to the control of the
democracy , but it is' so plain and trans
parent that no intelligent ox-ropubli-
cnn member of the alliance in the north
ought to bo deeeivdd by it. It contem
plates no injury to the solid democratic
south , but every possible harm to the
republican party in the north. It is the
source of greater hope to the democratic
party than anything else in the political
situation. How extensively will the
farmers of the north , in whoso behalf
recent republican policy is accomplish
ing so much of bonollt , support this ob
vious democratic movement is ono of
the very important questions of this mo
mentous politic.il year. There is rea
son to believe that their support will bo
far less than the estimates with which
the promoters of the movement are now
encouraging their followers.
THK ItAbK AXV V1LU H'AA'T HIM.
The logic of the situation would obvi
ously scorn to bo the rciiomuiation of
Mr. Harrison , says the Philadelphia
f.ttlyei ; a journal of independent tenden
cies , "for the reason that the rank and
lilo of his party tire well pleased with
his administration. " Our Philadelphia
contemporary then proceeds to point out
wherein the administration has com
mended itself to tlio approbation of the
party. Its foreign and domestic policy
has boon olliciont , honorable , dignified
and public spirited. No great question
of national or inlornalioiml concern has
remained unanswered by It , and iho
answer given bus boon , with rare or no
exception , sagacious , just and decisive.
"With regard to the two chief republi
can issues , financial and economic , " says
the tofycr , "President Harrison's loyalty
is unquestioned and unquestionable. Ho
is the uncompromising supporter of an
honest currency and of a protective tar-
ill' . The people generally have found
his administration satisfactory , and ilia
not unnaturally asked why ti public ser
vant who , in tlio highest and most re
sponsible position of all , has proved
himself to bo faithful and compntont ,
should bo set aside and his place given
to another without hlsoxporlonco in tlio
presidential olllco , and whoso qualifica
tions or disqualifications are unknown to
his countrymen. "
The question to bo determined at the
Minneapolis convention is whether the
will of the runic and lilo of the party or
the demand of a few selfish politicians is
to bo regarded. The former has boon
so generally and strongly expressed
that no reasonable doubt can exist re
specting It. Harrison Is unmistakably
the uhoica of the masses of the republi
can voters , who are interested only in a
capublo and an honest administration of
the government , without regard to who
muy bo permitted to distribute the pub
lic : patronage. These intelligent voters
have not reached their decision through
any deceptive or misleading intluoncos ,
'I hey came to it as the result of a care
ful study of the work of the administra
tion. Finding this to have boon emi
nently able , ollioiont , clean-and patri
otic , they ask that the man who merits
the credit for this excellent record shall
receive the deserved recognition of a
ronomination. They Jiavo confidence in
him.becauso ho has proved himself in
every way entitled to their confidence.
Ho has been faithful to every promise
inudo by the party to the country and
htw Btrouginciiod the nation in thq ro-
nf the world , l-'or the last three
year * there tun boon a stiitosmivntllto
administration at Washington , and ono
nt the unino llinu thoroughly American
In all Us fool Ings and tendencies. The
mnsnes of the republican party bollovo
that 11 should receive the unqualified
< -ndoromcnt which the ronomination of
ProsidotU Harrison would give.
Airainst this judicious and just posi
tion of n very largo majority of repub
lic ins throughout the country there are
arrayed a few politicians who are dis-
sntislied with the president for ono
reason or another , mainly personal , and
who are plotting and Intriguing to defeat -
feat the will of the rank and file of the
party. They have boon unable thus far
to Bottle upon any available mnn to
oppose the president who is willing to
countenance the movement , but It Is
possible they will exert a mischievous
Inlluoi co t Minneapolis. 1'rosldonl
Harrison could slop the opposition at
once if ho could forgot the dignity of the
grttit olllco ho ho'.ds us a public trust
and consent to trade the olllcos of the
people In return for the support of the
dissatisllod spoilsmen. Out ho will
make no concessions to this clement , and
ho Is stronger with the people because
ho will huvo nothing to do with It.
There ought to bo no doubt regarding
the course of the Minneapolis conven
tion As the ropro.sontatlvo body of the
party it should obey the p.irty will , as
this has been clearly defined by a largo
majority of state and district conven
tions.

, It was to have boon expected that the
men intorostcd in keeping Omaha
fenced out of rnach of railroads that
want to outer Nebraska by way of
Omaha -would cxort all their inlluonce
to defeat the Nebraska Conn ill project.
These parties will not show their hand
in nn open light before the people because -
cause they know that the sentiment of
Omaha is overwhelmingly in favor of
raising the bridge embargo , cost what
it may. Their plan of campaign is a
still hunt by hired strikers and paid
emissaries who nro to circulate all sorts
of topoi ts and stir up the various elo-
inerts to opposition under various lire-
texts.
On the south side of town they repre
sent that Iho Nebraska Central will help
to build up the north hide ; on tlio north
side they represent that it will only help
.lolTorson square , Fifteenth and Six
teenth streets. Railway employes are
told that oxihting roads will have to rn-
dueo wages because of the ruinous com
petition. Other working men are told
that the now bridge will only loaa them
down with more tuxes without improv
ing their condition. A professional
'workingman , who parts his ii'imo ' in the
middle , demands an agreement irom the
olliccrs of the company that they will
pay reasonable wages and give prefer
ence to eiti/.ens of Omaha ana Douglas
county , ' ' 'hat sounds very reasonable ,
but when this man assorts that the
Union Pacific imported lo.OOO Chinamen
to build thbir road and asks "what is fo
hinder the Nebraska Central from bring
ing an army of Chinamen to Omaha and
paying thoiu $ li > po'r month ? " ho arouses
the suspicion that ho has boon retained
by the Union Pacific or some ether cor
poration Interested in defeating com
petition.
The Union Pacific did not importChi-
namon into this country and was not built
by Chinamen. That charge can only
belaid at tr.o door of Lolund Stanford
and his Central Pacific railroad. The
Union Pacific bridge was built by white
labor and it is not likely that the Ne
braska Central would bo built by Chi-
nerio labor. The Union Pacific might
have readily brought Chinamen to
Omaha in 1871 when the bridge was
built , because at that time there was no
embargo on Chinese immigration. But
now there is u Inw against , the importa
tion of Chinese that would effectually
hinder the Nebraska Central from im
porting Chinese labor even if it wore
disposed to do so.
This Chinese bugbear is only ono of
the many preposterous objections which
are being raised to keep Omaha bottled
up and hinder lior natural growth at the
critical time when she has reached the
turning point that will assure forever
her commercial and industrial suprom-
ncy or leave her forever at the mercy of
the monopoly that now controls all the
avenues of comniurco in and out of
Omaha.
TOO LATE FOll DISCIIKTIOX.
Ex-Socrotary William C. Whitney ,
who has just returned from Kuropo , has
disappointed the munayors of Iho anti-
Hill convention to bo hold in Syracuse
by declining to preside over its doliboru-
lions. Moreover , Mr. Wliitnoy says that
bo is in no manner identified with the
movement and has no opinions to ox-
pi-oss on tlio subject. This looks like ti
shirking of responsibility , considering
that the ox-socrotary IB ono of Mr.
Cleveland's staunchest friends , but it
shows him to bo wise in his generation.
The political future of every man
actively concerned In that convontlou
will bo extremely cloudy.
It Is interesting to note that the full
significance of this antl-fllll convention
scheme la just beginning to bo appre
ciated by the domocratlc party at largo.
In the woslorn and southern states the
movement has generally uuen regarded
as a personal matter between Hill and
Cleveland that might give the nomina
tion to soaio western or southern man.
and its disturbing olToct upon the party
organization has boon little considered.
Perhaps Mr. Whitney perceives what
that ulToct will bo and does not wish to
bo concerned in any proceeding that
seems to monaco the integrity of his
party. Rut. in any event it is too late
now for the discreet and conservative
members of the party to ultor the situa
tion. The ClovolauU inon in Now York
ritato declare wilh much warmth that
they will have a delegation of their own
at Chicago.
Their attitude lit reasonable enough ,
considering the treatment they have ro-
colvod at the hands of Iho Hill men and
the fact thnt their candidate has n very
largo majority of the delegates thus far
chosen , but clour headed democrats who
are not influenced by n similar resent
ment huvo begun to see danger In the
Syracuse convention , Animosities will
bo Intensified thereby which cannot fail
to bo felt in the dollbar.itlon at Chicago
and in the nubs , p.mnt iimpugn , , There
will 'jo spoeehr-i apit resolutions fired olT
at Syracuse th .1 Uil Mill roverburu'o '

sible to rap.iir tht'diimaso tliat will have
been already donii. Nothing will pin-
cato the followers of Cleveland If , with
so largo a force of dolouatos as ho is now
certain to have , ho is shelved because
the party dare not nnmlnutu him and
face the music in Now York. Thu situ
ation is full of interest and is worthy of
the studious attention of the entire
country.
THK I-'HKK NHMVJiVf 1111,1 , .
The measure known as the Ftthlnn
'roo shipping bill , which has boon
favorably reported to the house of rep
resentatives from the committee onoom-
murclal marine mid fisheries , is ono
which every section of the country ,
whether directly afTcctcd by It or not ,
should emphatically opposo. The dom
ocratlc members of the coinmitteo who
framed this bill allowing unrestricted
admission to American registry of all
foreign-built vessels owned In whole erIn
In part In the United States , either
wantonly or unwillingly disregarded
the extensive shipbuilding Interests of
the grout hikes , which take rank as ono
of the most important industries in the
country. About olio-fourth of the total
tonnage now afloat under the American
( lag is on those lakes and has been built in
American shipyards , employing Amer
ican woikmon and using American nri-
torlals. Of late yours , owing to the In
creased demands of the west for a cheap
outlet lo tbo seaboard , those ship yards
huvo grown wonderfully in capacity and
are now turning out every year a largo
number of the bjst steam and sailing
vessels. Millions of dollars are invested
In this young industry , which Is giving
work to thousands of mechanics and
laborers and providing a market for
the products of our mines and mills.
Tlio passage of the bill In question will
admit all Kuropoun-built steam JM and
sailing vessels to unrestricted competi
tion , bringing disaster to Iho shipbuild
ing interests of Chicago , Detroit , Mil
waukee , Cleveland , Buffalo , Uay City
and other lake ports whore this business
is now extensively carried on.
The protective system that has encour
aged the development of shipbuilding on
the lakes has resulted lu great benefit to
the people by producing a largo and
splendid licet of ships admirably adapted
to Iho requirements of the traffic for
which they were built. Tlio free ad
mission of foreign-bill.1 ships to partici
pation in a trullic frbiu' which they are
now wisely oxeludefL .would moan some
thing moro than a bjow to an important
American industry , : ( or it would fill our
inland sons with vtosaqls uiisuitod to the
requirements of UiQluko trade , vessels
of English conspfu ion , doslgncd for
trade upon the hiSlvias , -doubtless
in many cases it 3 that , had outlived
their usefulness. / / . ' ' "
It is no wonder that the paoplq of
those lake cities , attiblly * , interested in
the protection of American shipbuilding ,
arc Bonding vigorous and indignant pro
tests to Washiugtonjigainst tbo passage
of such u bill. -
COUNCILMAN TUTTLK'S ACQUITTAL.
Cotincilmtin-Tuttlo Vns boon acquitted
of tlio charge of being interested in con
tracts with tlio city nnd in furnishing
materials to the city while ho was a
moinbor of the council. After the Mo-
roarty fnrco this acquittal was to have
boon expected. And yet Mr. Tuttle was
Intorcsted indirectly as well as directly
in the silicon which Mr. Coots used in
plastering the city hall. Tie was a stock
holder in the company that sold the silicon - .
con plaster to Mr. Coots and shared in
the profit from this contract. IIo was
an olllcer of the company and indirectly
instrumental in having silicon selected
as the material for plastering in place
of the adamant Blaster that had boon
designated as the material to bo used
and for which a contract had originally
boon made by the city hall contractor.
Does any sane man imagine that silicon
would have boon substituted for ada
mant plaster if Mr. Tuttle had not boon
a member of the council and a member
of the building committee ? If not , then
why was Mr. Coots compelled to use
silicon ?
But Mr. Tuttle did not vote for this
change nnd ho tried to evade responsi
bility by ( Inclining to sign the report of
the committee , which ho finally did
sign. Does that relieve him from re
sponsibility when the charter plainly
says that no member of the council shall
bo directly or indirootly interested In
any contract with the city or in any
material furnished to the city by any
contractor ? Suppose a councilman ab
stains from voting when n contract is
Donding before the council in which ho
line an interest directing or indirectly ?
Would that relieve him from the penalty
imposed by the churtor ? Would ho bo
loss guilty of violating the provision
thnt prohibits counuilmon from being in
terested in contracts if lie actually re
corded his vote against it ? If this were
really pormisslbldrili would bo no trouble
to whip tlio devil around tlio atump by
malcing u tio-up soithat couiicllinon in
terested in ono .eontlraot would malfo
sure of carrying any job through by the
councilmen Intoroirfbd1 in aiiolhor con
tract In ether words , n combine of
boodlors might carryon their nefarious
jobs open and above 'board without lay
ing themselves llftblU to criminal or civil
prosecution. ° ° '

uro disposing of their Welsh interests
and will invest their capital in tin fac
tories In this country , where they believe -
liovo the Industry can ba developed into

time u great deal of American capital
will also go Into the industry , all giving
employment to large mimnors of

Its attainment could there bo u greater

Now that the council has rescinded
the paving specifications that require u

the interest of the city as well aw of
properly owners for the Hoard of Public
Works to revise its list of paving in

moro limn half assured by the cxtonsion-of

yel to bo settlod. It is possible that

but it will bo surprising if Uclpium fails to
ndopt u moro extended franchise than has
yet oblnincd tn Great Britain. Much has
boon gained by the obliteration of the consti-
lultonul limitation , and the completion of the
great work of revision will oo watched with

the Helclnn constitution was IramcJ , tlio
suffrage provisions were generally looked
upon as liberal. Itoslrlctlons were nfler-
wards rotnovnd from time to Utno , and the
moro recent doimina for manhood suffrage
found one of its best friends in Iho king.
This makes lUo immediate outlook more
hopeful than it inifjht bo olhevwlso , and the
details of the new constitution may provo a
lesson in republican government oven for the
model republic.
