Schurman has been elected presldont of Cornell and Ivos lias beaten Slosaon at billiards. JOHN M. LANOSTON of Virginia says Harrison cannot carry Now York. It would bo interesting to secure Mr. ' Harrison's availability Langston's opinion on ability In Hayti. THE discreet St. Paul Globe observes that "people don't go to national con ventions to sloop.

TUB proposition of Commissioner Carter that the emigrants to the newly opened government land bo compelled to ontof during the first few days by casting lots would seem practicable and worth a trial. The present panic method is certainly tlio worst possible plan. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THK Iowa republicans who are seeing the .effort ? of the perfidious Chirkson and the Register crowd to poison the tnlndH of Iowa against Harrison after the state convention has mot , may per- Imps at last gotsoino idea of the sort of millstone which is hanging around the nock of republicanism in that stato. IK THK Paxton hotel can bo made to undergo a thorough overhauling , fumi gation ami refurnishing an a result , of the contest between the owner and lessee of tlio building , Omaha will have no ground for complaint. But what Omaha really needs as much us any ono thing is n fireproof hotel of metropoli tan dimensions. SKVKHAI , of the Methodist delegates recommend that Omaha should endeavor to rodnco the quantity of rainfall If she doslrcH to kuop JHICO with her old ratio of increase in population. The surest way to rcduco the average rainfall would bo to keep Moihodlst conferences at long range. Tlio conference of 1888 brought down twenty days' Htoady heavenly perspiration upon the citlzons of Now York , and three weeks' outpour ing from the clouds which Omaha has enjoyed for the Hrst tlmo in her history would Boom to justify this precaution. IT is now a settled faot that the work of paving our streets will not begin before - fore the 1st of August , just seven months nftor the npw city government was in augurated. Tliis experience would scarcely justify the holding of city elec tions in November. Tlioro was BOIIIQ ex cuse for the delay of public improve ments until midsummer when our city nloctloiiH were hold In April , but It does seem incomprohonslblo why all the tlmo hotwoou January and Juno has boon wastnd In prollmlnarioa , and finally nil iho arrangements made by the Board of I'qblloVorka have to bo sat aside. Ouu local contemporary the World- Jftruld hns favored the uoplo of Ne braska with a monger nnd chostnutty reproduction of the proceedings that at tended the transit of Nebraska from territorial to etato government on or about the lat day of March , 18U7 , wlian the formal admission of Nebraska Into vho union wns proclaimed by Andruw Johnson , then president of the United States. AH thcso historic facts and data , together with a complete review of the hibtory of Nobruska'd advent as ono of tlio states of the union were published by THU BKK on tlio silver nnnlvonmry March 1,1802. But this is about as near s \vldo-awako contemporary usually comes hoppliiir along behind the preen - on ull similar oocuoloni. VAX triTK'S rAOAttlKS. Oonoral Van Wyck is n man possessed of moro than ordinary intelligence nnd information. Ho has boon in public life many years and has had atnplo oppor tunity to familiarize hlmsoU with the lending economic Issues and especially the history nnd condition of jnir national fin an COM. Ho is not ono of these pro fessional nt'llators who roam over the country spouting finance nnd talking glibly of millions and billions wlion In fact they h.xvo never owned a hundred dollars and could not mnnngo a peanut stand without going into bankruptcy. General Van Wyck has n largo export- once as a successful financier. Ho has am.tisicd ! r small fortune by judicious In vestments in bonded securities and lands that have appreciated in value , Ho is therefore ono of the best orjutpped men In this country to discern the tllf- forcnco-bctweon a sound currency and u debased currency. The relations of frco silver coinage to labor , discussed dispassionately as an economic issue , would nlTord an Inter esting as well ns nn instructive topic for America's breadwinners. . The address delivered by General Van Wyck at Den ver before the Knights of Labor not only failed to touclt upon the vital points in the text , 'but is inaccurate and mis leading. Instead of enlightening the tellers as to the bearing of frco coinage upon wages , post of.livlng and increased demand for worklugmon , General Van Wyck has simply rehearsed exploded stories about conspiracies by British inonny-lnndora , and harped upon the al leged wrongs that were perpetrated upon the union soldiers when they wore paid olt in greenbacks while the cred itors of the nation have boon paid off In gold. This contrast'between the treat ment of "tho gunholdors and the bond- owners" tends to evoke sympathy nnd resentment , but how does this incident ot thirty years ago eonrorn the wage- worker of today ? Would free coinage redress the in justice which may have boon inllictcd during the war upon the men who wore the blue , and would free coinage restore to the treasury a single dollar that has boon paid to the bondholder in excess of what he would have received had ho boon paid oft" in greenbacks ? General Van Wyck knows as well as anybody does that , tlio bonds issued dur ing the war have boon taken up long ago and the bonds now out were bought with gold or money exchangeable dollar for dollar in gold. The assertion that wo are dominated by England Is the veriest bosh. The commercial depression which is as sumed to have boon the dlroct result of the British conspiracy to domonoti/.o silver in America is not confined to this country. England , Germany , Franco , Austria , and all Europe , for that mat ter , have oxpori n ; sd a general decline in prices and stagnation in nearly every branch of industry. According to General Van Wyck : "Labor only prospers in the sunlight of universal freedom , when trade and en terprise are free innil , their channels ; when money , the llfo nnd spring and source of all industries , is pulsing warm and strong in all the arteries of busi ness. " That is a beautiful sentence , rounded oil Hko a poom. But what would bo the effect of universal frco trade upon American labor ? Suppose you let down the tariff bar nnd lot in tlio manufactured products of cheap labor from Europe and Asia , how long would most of our mllhi and facto ries continue running ? Why has the McKinley tnrilt created such a panic all over Europe ? Does General Van Wyck propose to deliver America's toilers over to the tender mercies of the British ? The most unseemly thing of General Van Wyck'a address is his lling at Pres ident Harrison. Ho told his audience that : "VVo stand far insldo the Uno where Oon oral Harrison , graudfutUor of the illustrious president , stood wuon in his lirst Inaugural in glowing latiRungo ho pictured the dangers of a purely metallic currouoy and Insisted upon paper. Jackson and the olaor Harrison were in favor of free colnnso ; why uro not Cleveland and the grandson ! Don't ' you clearly see an effort to oauutfo the pollcv of tlio government ! " General Jackson may have boon in favor of free coinage , but the free silver advocates can got no comfort by any comparison of the coinage of our day with that during General Jackson'a term. General Jackson became presi dent March 4 , 1829. During his first term not a single silver standard dollar was coined although the coinage of sil ver dollars was free and unrestricted. In ids second term there were just 1,000 silver dollars coined all told. During the first year of Benjamin Harrison's term there were coined $21,720,811 in stan dard silver dollars , and the total coinage , of silver dollars and subsidiary silver coins for 1889 and 1800 aggregates $40,294,408 ; while the total gold coinage during the same period was only $3,101,0:13. : In other words , with free and unlimited gold coinage and limited silver coinage wo have coined 813 in sil ver for every ono dollar in gold in the United States mint during 18S9 and 1890. The contrail between Jackson and Harrison as regards coinage is so glar ing that no free coinage man should over allude to it. It may bo interesting for General Van Wyok to learn that it was during Gen eral Jackson's term tlio government ran short of spoolo and proved Franco to pay the indemnity claims of American citizens. "This payment , " Hays an his- tortan of ttio tlmo , "took place and was received at this juncture very oppor tunely In gold. " It may also bo re marked incidentally that about the tlmo Jackson retired from the presi dency there was a disastrous collapse brought on by wlldmtt banks and reckless - loss hind speculation. Tlio following extract L-om his toric records of tlio tlmo is instructive : "Tho farmers had nominally Hold their produce well , but they had taken pay in bank paper which the revulsion lofc valueless in their hands. Several hun dred bunks were swept out of existence , but there remained an Immense load of debt duo by Individuals , to relieve , whom congroas in 1811 passed n bank rupt law , The oporatlon of the law ro- llovod 39,000 persons from debts to the lunountof $111,000,000. The disasters involved the failure of several states , with an aggregate debt pf $100,000,000 , The bunka that were liquidated had an aggregate capital of $200,000,000 , so that the total of legally roptidialod debt amounted to $741,000,000. The debts that were settled without the Intervention of the law were esti mated to bo equal to these legally discharged , so that the total losses ag gregated nearly * SI,500,000,000. " This chaptei' of American wildcat financier ing touches Its own lesson. As to Grandfather Harrison little can bo said. Ho was president just thirty days and If lie had any policy on the currency issue it did not materialize. Ono thing Is certain. Gonnral Van Wyck's appeal to the American people to revive the good old ttmos of 18.iO to 1811 , by favoring genomes ot inllatlon and cui roncy tinkering , does not promise very much prosperity to the working people. Al'l'KA 1S FllUM TJW F/.OOD OfSTltWTS. The condition of the people In the flooded districts is more serious than it has boon reported heretofore , and ap peals for aid are being sent out from various parts of the country ttflllclod by the prolonged season of mln. The chairman of the rollof committee in Louisiana has naked President Harrison to aid the efforts that are being made to relieve the destitute colored people of that state who have boon driven from their homos by the Hoods nnd loft in a condition bordering on starva tion. Governor Fifor of Illinois , after a personal visit to the Hooded dis tricts , has issued a proclamation call ing upon the people of that state to contribute liberally for the sulTorors. Governor Boles of Iowa lias issued a similar proclamation In behalf of the homeless and destitute of Sioux City. It appears that the plain truth in re gard to the needs of the localities af fected by the Hoods haa not boon freely told , and that the people are much worse olT than than they have boon willing to admit. In Sioux City , for example - ample , the number of families homeless Is now placed at } ,000 and the number of destitute at 5,000 , and yet it is only a few days since , the mayor of that city , in reply to an inquiry from Governor Boins , telegraphed that the damage had boon greatly Overestimated and that the people of Sioux City could take oaro of themselves and have enough loft to build a corn palace. This now seems to have boon only a piece of buncombe , de signed to make the outside world believe - liovo that the prosperity of the town had not boon interfered with by the water. Governor Boies estimates that $200,000 will bo required to repair the datnnco and give homos to the home less. In many localities along the Mis sissippi river and its tributaries people who had not much to live upon before have now boon reduced to hunger. They will have to bo helped immedi ately by these who are more fortunately situated. There ought to bo a quick response to these appeals for aid. The condition of the sufferers is ono of pres ent and urgent need and the whole country should respond to the call for help. Small contributions from many pockets will make up large totals , and the work of collecting such contribu tions should not bo delayed. A TAMMAXY MAN TALKS. Charles F. Peck , the Now York state labor commissioner , has been in Denver , and while there ho did some talking. As n demagogue Pock is ono of the most brilliant successes of the age , but ho is not much of a prophet. Ho says that Hill will bo nominated at Chicago. It is his duty to say that , because ho owes his fat ollico to Hill. Moreover , ho is a Tammany man , and no man with such aflilintions could bo expected to boom anybody but the great Tammany senator. Cleveland Is not in it at all according to Peck. "Harrison would carry Now York despite all ollorts of Mr. Cleveland should he bo nominated , " ho says , nnd "Cleveland would bo beuton , by nearer 100,000 than 50,000" in that state. Tammany , says the commis sioner , Is the foundation of the democ racy of Now York , and Tammany , he intimates , will jump on Mr. Cleveland with both foot if ho is nominated. The only interesting thing in Peck's remarks on this subject is his declara tion of the purposes of Tammany in the event of the nomination of Cleveland. Ho is close to Hill and knows what the latlor's plans are about as well as any body aocs , and he is fresh from , the Hold where the proposed butchery is to take place. His statement of the case agrocs well with what THE BKK has said concerning - corning the outlook for carnogo in Now Yorlc. Of course the hatred which ho expresses is mutual. The Cleveland moil uro as savage , though perhaps not so boisterous in their talk , as the Hill men. Lot the exorcises proceed. CLOSE < ) V THE CONFKREXOK The twenty-first quadrennial session of the general conference of the Meth odist Episcopal church will close today. The conference assembled May 2 and was expected to remain in session until the and of the month , but the vigor with which business has boon pushed nnd the decision not to elect any moro bishops at this tlmo have oimtilod it to roach an earlier adjournment than had boon anticipated. A great deal of work has boon accomplished , and while some matters presented to the conference will not bo noted upon , the record made will compare favorably with that of any preceding - coding conference in the impartauco of the action takon. This conference will ho memorable in the history of the church for several things , prominent among them being the boparato seating of lay delegates. Tlio adoption of the rule separating the minlstorhU and lay'dologatos was not strictly observed in this conference , but It is to bo presumed that it will bo in future , Another Important notion of the conference was the decision not to rocolvo anymore government money for the support of Indian mission schools , it being hold that the plan of government assistance of religious touching among the Indinns is contrary to thu spirit of our Institutions , which requires the ab solute divorcement of church and stato. Without proposing In this connection any general review of the proseodlngs , U may bo noted that among the more interesting results of the deliberations of the conference were the adoption by u unanimous vote of the report con demning thu unjust treatment of the colored people of the south , the accept- nnco by n small majority of the report roafllnnhig the position of the church regarding temperance , the defeat of the effort , to abolish the time limit on pas torates nnd the recognition of. the Ep- worth league as an auxiliary depart ment of the church , to be under the supervision of the general conforonco. As nil interested * have already boon in formed through the reports of Iho con ference , llio condition of the church is on the whole highly satisfactory , though in some of the older cities of lTr < r country Us progress la somewhat slow. Socially and morally Omaha has boon largely bonofltted by the conference , and a very largo number of our people who have enjoyed the pqrson.il association of its members , with a much larger num ber who have pcoflttod intellectually and spiritually froin the privilege of listening to the learned and eloquent delegates , will regret that the , close of the session is at hand. As to the mom- born of the conference wo believe that very generally they are well pleased with their entertainment and will have none but kindly words In their distant homos for tlio hospitality of Omaha. Inclement weather during most of the sossfon of the conference has interfered with their comfort , but they understand that this locality hnsjiot fared worse in this respect than other portions of the country. The mooting hero of this great legislative assembly of tlio Methodist Episcopal church Is an event In the his tory of the city which will long bo mem orable , and it will undoubtedly bo of great advantage to that denomination in this section. In saying farewell to the conference , lot us houo that every mom- her will return in health and safety to his homo , prepared to take up with ro- nowcd zonl and energy the work ho haste to do. mail-l'HH'Nl ) STUKKT MUllTlKd. The Thomson-Houston Electric Light company has accepted the proposition of the council and agreed to furnish thir ty-eight are lights at $140 per annum each to burn on an all-night schedule in addition to iho 100 lights for which the city is now paying $175 a jcar ; each , and they generously tjlso concluded to muko the satno price for the thirty-two lights that have boon added since the first hundred were contracted for. Tlio council has voted to award the contract to the Thomson-Houston com pany , although another company which will bo ready to supply light within ninety days offered to furnish the same service for 8120 per lamp. This is tlio price now paid by the city of Lincoln and is supposed to leave quite a margin of proflt. Nojv Jot us sco what the city will have to nay for electric lamps during the coming year if tho'new contract Is en tered into : 100 lamps at J17o a year 817,500 70 lamps at $140 a year 9,800 Total $27.300 At 380 n year , which would bo a fair price , the oily would bo paying 511,200 a year , or n , margin of profit for the electric Ijghting company of $10,100 per nnnuin. ' For $27,300 , at $ SO a. lamp per year , the city would have 311 electric lamps instead of 170. In other words , wo would have double the number of lamps for the money wo are to pay-or if wo were sup plied with electric lights nt a reasonable price the taxpayers of Omaha would save $10,100 a year on tlio 170 electric street lamps. At 830 u lamp per year , which is reasonable for an all-night gas lamp service , wo could add 530 lamps to the number of gas lamps now In use for the $10,000 which the contract with the Thomson-Houston company gives in excess of n fair price for the 170 lamps. Wo would like to know ns a matter of curiosity whether the councilman who voted for the proposed contract and es pecially the committee on gas and elec tric lights have over taken the trouble to figure out for themselves the differ ence between the price wo are paying for electric lamps and what wo would save if the light was furnished on tv fair basis and at a price which the council has a right to fix for franchised electric lighting companies under the provisions of our charter.

Plillodolnhm Press : While the action of the Methodist conference nt Oinahn with ro- gurd to the Kpworth loaciio , the Christian 1-jndoavor society and the various other young people's ' associations did not spoclHctilly make tbo first named the only true Metho dist league , the tendency is evidently in that direction. Started nt llrst. ni n wholly un- sectarian movement , the organization of the societies of ChrlMitin Endeavor among the young people in all the various donominn- tlons soon gave evidence of a tendency to divide on linns of special beliefs , nnd as .1 re sult the Methodists , for instance , developed the Epworth league as a churoli organization , although the Christian Endeavor societies had led the way nnd stood iho ogc on end. As n result of churcti encouragement the league numbers400,000 Methodist young people - plo nnd .tho Mothodlst Christian Endeavor societies 200,000. Under tbo Influence of the church ofllcors , however , it is lllcoly that In time the latter organization will become ab sorbed in the first.

C. , May U5. ) ' 'I verily biliovo they nro the ouomles of our party , tbo democrats themselves who are pushing Mr. Hlnlno most vigorously to Iho front for the presidential nomination Just now , " said Uoprosontatlvo Funston of Kansas this afternoon. Mr. Funston Is ono ot the mott Influential republicans In the far west. Ho was chairman of the committee on agriculture in tbo liouso , Is n farmer and stands close to tbo rural republicans. Do- sldos ho hails from n stnto which has long boon the banner Ulaino state nnd Is now a warm frionu of the distinguished statesman from Malno. Mr. b'unston continued : "Harrison's ' hns boon the cleanest nnd strongest ndmlr.tstrn- tlcn since Washington. With him at the head of our ticket again wo can bo nggros- slvo , while with any otbor man under the circumstances wo will bo on the defensive. Mr. Harrison is the strongest man in our party , not excepting Mr. Hlnlno. Ho carried Now York In 1880 , whllo mv good frlona from Maine lost It in IbS I. There will bo no mucwutnplnp on Harrison. I have boon a friend of Mr. Blalno for a long time and amn friend of his now , and ns his fnond it pro vokes mo uoyond measure to obscrvo his old- tlmo enemies attempting to put him in tbo unfortunate attitude of wrltlnc n second lat ter , either taking back or ufllrmlngtho stnto. montH made In his letter to Mr. Clarkson. U must bo berne In mind that after the street tnikjof the passing days hns disappeared from tbo public mind ontlroly the letters written by ftlr. Ulnino In connection with important events in his lifo will survive nnd become n part of his personal history. Mr. llliilnn'a Only Course. ' When this fact Is considered It at once becomes obvious that Mr. Blnlno can neither retract what ho has said nor reaffirm it. Ho- traction would booqulvant to positive proof tluvt the charges of duplicity and insincerity heretofore so emphatically made by Mr. Plait and his associates against Mr. Blnlno were advisedly mndo. It would bo equally unfortunate to rpiifllrin what has boon said. Such roanirmauco would presuppose ques tions ns to his voracity in the public mind and when his history happened to bp wrlttor. it would indicate that in his last days Mr. Dlaino wns oppressed by the hallucination that somebody was constantly trying : to force him to bo president , and inspired by this con ceit ho continued to wrlto n series of letters protesting that ho would not accept. "Aeain , under existing conditions , nccopt- anco of the nomination by Mr. Blnlno would bo so offensive to n largo number of repub licans whoso party adulations nro not of the strongest that his defeat would bo inevitable. "Thoro nro many people who behovo that the president of the United States should bo. above nil things , frank , candid , bonost and truthful , Sbould Mr. Ulaina allow himself to become a candidate or encourage bis own nomination or accept the nomination ho would obviously bo open to the cbargo that his latter to Mr. Clarksoa was written for the express purpose of deceiving tbo presi dent and bis friends to thoond thut ho might remain in the councils and conllaonco of Mr. Harrison up to the date of the convention. No friend of Mr. Uinlno is willing to believe that ho is capable of such infamy ; however , such insinuations are in pofcct keeping with the previous action and state ments of many of the men who uro now seek ing to have Mr. Blaine stultify himself and tboy are charging by innuendo for their own selfish purposes at this time the very things they hnvo boon charging , directly or indi rectly , against him throughout his political career. Silence is Mr. Dlnino's only protec tion from bis enemies , the enemies of iho re publican party who seek merely to use his nnmo to conjure with , regardless of Ibe terrible riblo consequence to Mr. Olninu's ropulnlion should ho prove to bo what ihoy hope ho may prove lo bo. " lloxv lliirrlson Might Uo Uorcntad. Colonel William Coggswcll of Massa chusetts is an Influential republican member of the houso. Ho was elected mayor of his boaio city , Salem , for quilo a number of years and each time ro-olectod over his op ponent by an ovorwholmlng majority but once , when bo was defeated , bis defeat being iho rosull of Iho circulation of a cruoi false hood. On the day of his election Colonel Coggswoll was very 111 wllh diphtheria. At noon a report was circulated over iho city thut Iho colonel was doad. His friends , foolluc- wns useless for him , cast their bal lots for another man. Before the report could bo negatived bo wns defeated by an overwhelming majority. Colonel Cogswell does not bcltovo Presi dent Harrison's ronomliiation nt Minneapolis can bo defeated oxccpt by some such methods. If a rash is mndo for Mr. Blalno , it will bo founded on some rumor quite as baseless. Speaking of the outlook for the convention Colonel Cogswell aaid this after noon : "Judging by the sentiment in my section of Iho country the ronomluntion of President Harrison Is not only ox pooled but wlsliod for.
