Four weeks ago the republicans of
South Dakota , through their state con
vention , Instructed nnd pledged the del
egated chosen to represent that state nt
Mlnooao'pHa to vote and work for the ro-
nomination of Banjamln Harrison. And
now Senator Potttgrow , the hoitrt of the
South Dakota delegation , haa publicly
w
announced that his own vote and that of
the whole South Dakota delegation will
bo cast for James G. Blatno on the first
ballot. Mr. Pottlgrow Is quoted as suy-
ing :
It Is true that South Dakota Is Instructed
for Harrison , hut It li equally true thnt thl *
wn < done with the unilomtamllnathat Ulalnu
win not u candidate. South Dakota Is un-
quostlonuhlv n Blnlno stnto. It tins iloclnrcil
for Hlalim nt ovor.v convention slnco It bo-
cnmn n stUo. : Kvcry mno , woman and child
is for Hlama.
Jf such tv Hop was attempted or pro
posed by it carpet bag delegate from
South Carolina or Arkansas , where pol
Itlcal morals nro at a low ebb and dele
gates to national conventions consider
U no dishonor to oll'or tholr votes to the
hichcst bidder , nobody would bo stn-
prlscd. But Senator Pottlgrow ropro-
Beats an Intelligent , and high-minded
constituency. What right has ho , of
all others , to repudiate the pledges of
his party , and what right has ho to ad
vertise his colleagues on the delegation
as committed with himself to an infam
ous botrnyal of the trust reposed In
them. How can Mr. Pottigrcw , or nny
other man , acting In a representative
capacity , absolve himself from the obll- .
gallon that rests upon him under the
unwritten law which no honest or hon
orable mnn would ever dare violate
late ? What evidence hits Mr. Pottl
grow that the republicans of
South Dakota have changed tholr
minds within thirty days , nnd when has
ho had any chance to canvass tholr views
nnd consult their wishes ? Where is
there any evidence that South Dakota
republicans think less of Harrison today
than they did when they voted the in
structions to their delegates to support
him as their choice ? When did the re
publicans of South Dakota ever vole for
Blaine , and since when hnvo they ascer
tained that Blaine is a candidate ? South
U.ikola has never voted fo" Blaine and
has never had a chance to vote for him
for president. She would not bo a state
.today had it not boon for Harrison , and
Pottigrow would today bo practicing law
in Sioux Falls instead of holding a scat
in the United States somite. Mr. Elaine
is doubtless very popular in South Da-
Kola , but if every man , woman and child
was ro.illy for him Mr. Potligrow and
the delegation from South Dakota have
no moans of knowing that fact and are
in honor bound to live up to their obli
gations as expressed in the resolutions
of the convention that elected thorn. If
they do anything else they will deserve
to be branded as a brace of political
traitors and arrant knaves.
The effects of the course which Rr.
Pottigrow has outlined .for himself nnd
his associates are far-reaching and will
seriously imperil the chance of swing
ing South Dakota buck into the repub
lican column this fall. In South
Dtikota , as in Nobrnsklt , the party can
only hope to regain supremacy this
year by inspiring conlidenco that the
pledges made by its conventions will bo
honestly lived up to by its candidates.
Suppose that when Pettigrow's term
was about to expire the republican
county conventions should pledge
candidates for the legislature to vote
for his ro-oloction. What would ho
think of any member of the legislature
elected squarely on that issue who
would repudiate his instructions to
support Pettigrew on the plea that
another man who was not a candidate
before the election is , in his opinion ,
moro popular. Would not such conduct
justly bo denounced by Senator Potti
grow and his supporters as Infamous ?
Does Mr. Poltigrow propose to BOW the
wind at Minneapolis in Juno to lot the
party reap the whirlwind in South
Dakota in November ?
Incidentally wo may as well correct
Mr. Pottigrow's libels on the Nebraska
delegation to Minneapolis , which ho is
credited with representing as hopelessly
divided on the presidential issue. Euch
and every member of the Nebraska dele
gation to Minneapolis is instructed for
Harrison and it is a calumny to repre
sent thorn or any one of tliom as dis
posed to become recreant to their trus : ,
whatever any ether instructed delega
tion east or west may do.
TllK AKTl-SNAl' GOXVKXT10N.
The devoted followers of Grover Cleve
land in the state of Now York will bo-
begin to assemble in Syracuse today for
the anti-Hill convoutlon tlyit is to taico
place tomorrow. It has boon freely pro-
dieted that tlio movement would dlo for
want of nourishment bofor'j the arrival
of the day sot for-tho convention , but it
still lives and there is iv prospect that
the protesting democrats will fully carry
out tholr plans. So far as Now York
city Is concerned the convention will bo
a representative ono. Every ono of the
twenty-four assembly districts in the
city bus cho.ion delegates and the
number of.votcs polled at the primaries
exceeded the oxpootatlons of the pro-
motord of the movement , reaching a
llguio nearly double that of tlio miil-
wlntor snan-convcntlon primaries. Con
sidering the absolute sway of Tammany
in nearly ovor.v district in tbo city It is
surpfliiing that the Cleveland managers
in Now York , most of them unaccus
tomed to caucus work , uhould have buon
able to poll a vote largur than that
usually polled for the regular conven
tions of the party. But while a full and
really formidable representation has
boon Bccurod In tlio olty the representa
tion from the country dUtrlcU will bo
rather s'at luring. The primaries
throughout the Btnto have been thinly
attended and in many cases they have
fallen through altogether. Thla Is
probably duo to linpurfoct organization ,
for thuro U plenty ot anti-Hill sentiment
in the rural districts of the stato.
The resolutions to bo submitted at
Syracuse have boon prepared by ox-
Sooiotary Fnlrohlld and E. Ellory An-
doreon. They will Hot forth at length
the reasons for the protest against the
snap convention nnd the various onuses
of complaint against the Hill nviohlno ,
and will atrongly endorse the Cleveland
administration. Judging by the freedom
with which the Cleveland men lu Now
York have condemned the tactics of Hill
the resolutions nnd speeches nl Syracuse
will bo Inlcroijilng. But it Is significant
that the provisional coininltloo which
has the work in hand announces that
the action of the convention will not
take the form of nn attack upon Hill ,
but only upon HilUstn. This accords
very Well w'th ' seine other indications of
hedging that have boon nottcoiblo
of Into on the part of the anti-Hill poo-
pi o in Wow York. They will condemn
Iho theft and not the thief. C\ti : it bo
possible that the Cleveland men nro
afraid of the recoil of this murderous
gun which they luwc so deliberately
loaded nnd leveled at the Idol ot Tam
many ? It begins to look that way. Mr.
Olovotand has lately boon reported
about ready to disclaim nil sympathy
with the movement , In obedience to the
wishes of his most influential friends In
ether states. Ex-Secretary Whitney ,
who Is ono of the closest friends of the
ox-presidont , roftiaod positively to pre
side ever the Syracuse convention , and
oven snid that ho was nol in any way
Identified with the .movement. But U
Is too Into now to avert the calamity.
Whatever damage the anti-Hill men are
capable of doing to democratic prospects
will have boon done when they have
sent a contesting delegation to Chicago
from the ono Btnto of all others which
the party cannot alTord to lose.
AKOT1IEH GHISIS LV ITALY.
The resignation of Slgnor Giolottl ,
who recently succeeded Crlspi us prime
minister of Italy , has thrown that coun
try into another political torment. The
causes leading to his resignation are the
same that have boon at work for aomo
time among the Italian people. The
expensive policy of the government has
alarmed the people and tltoy .aro clam
oring for relief from the burdens which
they have long boon forced to boar. Italy
has boon driven very near to the verge
of bankruptcy by n policy that has not
boon gauged to correspond with her re
sources , and the people fool that it is
time to cull a halt. Popular pride would
sustain liberal expenditures on Iho army
and navy if iho country could stand the
increasing drain which that involves ,
but tlio Italian people are not rich
enough to afford the luxury. The
position of Italy in relation to ether
European powers is such that King
Humbert ia able to justify his nosiiion
so far as the logic of the situation is concerned -
corned , but the people point to a de
pleted treasury and their own depleted
pockets nnd say that logic falls when
the limit of the possible has boon
reached.
Whether the popular dissatisfaction
will nssuino such proportions as to force
the king to yield and modify a policy
that is proving too magnificent for the
limited means of Italy is a question tha
will interest Europe. If the chamber Is
dissolved in consequence of the resigna
tion of Giolottl , the ensuing elections
will have an immediate influence in de
termining this question , for it will give
the pcoplo a chunco to make tholr wishes
known. A revolution in Italy is be
lieved to bo wlthin.tho possibilities of
the near future , but it may bo averted by
conciliatory measures on the part of the
government Meantime the burdened
pcoplo of thnt sunny land will doubtless
continue to seek relief by emigrating to
America.
TUK INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
Although the Nebraska manufacturers'
exposition will not open until Juno 11 ,
nearly half a month. hence , there is
great activity at the Coliseum' and many
of the exhibitors are already busily en
caged in the work of arranging the arti
cles to which they will invite the at
tention of visitors. There is every pros
pect that this first exposition under tlio
auspices of the Manufacturers and Con
sumers association will by far exceed
the expectations of its projectors. Every
foot of space in the old building has
boon taken and it is probable that the
annex , now about completed , will bo
nearly all occupied. The manufactur
ers of the state generally , and oven
these of Omaha , who have had great
confidence in the success of the undor-
taklng , are surprised at the wide interest
that has been nwakonod not only in No
brnska but in other statos. Many appli
cations for space have lately been re
ceived from outside manufacturers , but
as the scope of the present plans does
not extend beyond the borders of this
state such applications have necessarily
been rejected. Over 120 exhibitors nro
already on the list and the number will
doubtless bo considerably increased before -
fore the exposition is oponod.
Although the objects and the advan
tages to bo derived from the series of
expositions of which this will bo the
first have been extensively sot forth in
the columns of Tim BKH , there are
many manufacturers and dealers who
have only just begun to roullzo bow
wide nn influence may thereby bo ex
erted for" the promotion of the indun-
tiics in which they are interested. Nol

which they thought they would require ,

sition exhibitors will tend to make tills

of manufacturing and trade interests in
Nebraska. The exposition Is certain to

Now York World : The clear , logical and
forcible rooly of Gladstone to Salisbury Is n
remarkable ptoductlon , chiefly bccauio it
does uol ( jlvo n alngloVlpn or evidence of
nn ; of the weaknesses of old ago. It is an
other convincing reminder that ngo has not
withered anv of these faculties which make
the grand old man easily iho llrst of living
English statesmen.
Boston Globe : With all Iho cloquonco ana
courugu of his palmiest duvs , Iho "grand old
man" came gnllar.lly to the defense of thn
riehts of Ireland In 'tho preat nnrllnmentary
battle over the Balfour bill. Well mlphl Mr.
Gladstone hold up to rldioulo and contempt
a mousuro in which , as ho said , everything
good in previous legislation concerning Ire
land has been loft oui , nnd everything bad
inserted.
Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican : U loolss
ns though Lord Salisbury nnd Mr. Balfour
huvo got their followers well In hand to pass
iho Irish local government bill. Party dis
cipline probably accounts for Ihls so far ns
iho lories are concerned and the unionists
, vill vole for It to prevent ti government de
feat , which would bo a victory lor Mr. Ulad-
"
stono. They would swallow n"wor o measure
than this before they would lol Mr. Glnd-
stone score tiny sorl'ol a victory ou iho Irisa
quoslion.
Minneapolis Journal : Mr. Gladstone made
n strong speech against ihn Bnlfour Irish
government bill , but the Irrational measure
wont to Its second reading by a stiff tory ina-
lorlty. It will bo n failure if It is given
statutory off eel because , Hlto other Irlslf re
form bills , il treats Ireland as un alien quar
ter section which has to bo distrusted nnd
kept in subjection. Gladstone demands
equality for nil parts of tbo United Kingdom
nnd until that is given there will bo an ugly
Irish question to monopolize iho time of par
liament.
Now York Tribune : Tno consorvalivos
have nol succeeded by their six-years' cam
paign In wearing out Mr. Gladstono. Ho re
mains Iho greatest Englishman of bis limn ,
with resources of intellectual and debating
power and with a n6iUcal ! authority ever bis
countrymen unrlvnllCd in this generation. If
any statesman can Affect the settlement of
the Irish questionbo cau do it ; and if ho
fails , ihcro Is npl another Englishman in
public llfo who will'havo the courage and
patience to undertake it. The Irish people
alona can defeat himif ho returns' to power ;
and Ibis Ihoy will d6 if ihoy ncsrlect to sup-
pnrl Iho most gent-rips and powerful cham
pion they have WGr bad among English
statesmen.
, t
Chicago Tribune : , Balfour will bavo
trouble with Ibo blll tiowovor , In the com
mit too stage. Mr. 'Hoaly and tbo brighl mon
of the Irish party \ylll attack every line and
clause of It. They Will find-justification for
their action in the 'scathing ' denunciation of
Ibo bill by Mr. Gladstone , as well as in tbo
former utterances of Chamberlain , Churchill
and Harrington. dTho session- therefore , Is
likely to bo prolongad , boyoud the Orange
men's July holidays - and tho"dlssolution
may nottgko place , tuxUl' autumn. Of Iho
trumpery character of the bill there Is no
question , but if it becomes law there is no
uoubl that the nationalist maloritv in Ire
land will utilize it to further its demands for
narliamcntary homo rule. In the incautlmo
Mr. Gladstone's argument in favor of homo
rule , based on Iho inequality nnd injustice of
the measure , will do duty In England ana in
Scotland.
Philadelphia 1'ross : Mr. Gladstone's
speech ucon the Irish local government bill
has its chief and only importance because it
comes nearer lo statinir tbo present position
of iho liberal leader Iban any othoi of bis
utterances for months past. It does this only
by inference. Mr. Gladstone has long in
sisted thnt tbo best course for him to take
upon Iho Irish question was to refuse to glva
details as to his plans. Ho has declined , to
use a familiar liberal phrase , to break the
co-g of homo rule In order to show what was
in it before It was hatched by a general
election. Mr. Gladstone has oven avoided a
speech on Mr. Balfour's Irish local govern
ment bill. Tbo bill fell so dead on its firdl
uiKbt that this wo * scarcely necessary ; hut
now that an election is near Mr. Gladstone
unbeiitallncly declares thai no measure caner
or ought to satisfy Ireland which does not
rocogn'zo ' tbo unily of the kingdom and give
a popular local self-control of lu affairs lo its
voters.
