The most profound sensation hna been created by the sudden resignation of James G. Blnlno fiom the cabinet. The reason assigned by the Into secretary of state loaves the country in doubt ns re gards the impelling motive. The ondltlon of Mr. Blnlno's health Is well known. For the pist two years ho has been at times mentally nnd physlcnlly incapacitated for public ser vice , nnd Tory recently Mr. Blnlno has been unable to give the important af fairs of international policy that close attention which they absolutely require nt the hands of the head of the State do * partmont. That Is doubtless the vlow taken by President Hnrrlson In accept ing Mr. Blnino's request for Immediate relief. Had Mi. Blnlno naked to bo permitted to rotlro six months ago , the country would not have been surprised. His re tirement would have boon taken ns the natural sequence of protracted physical disability. There could have then been no suggestion or oven suspicion of political Intrigue. But Mr. Blnlno has seen ( it to tender his peremptory resig nation four days before the meeting of the presidential nominating con vention , nnd In the midst of n heated contention between his own political friends nnd the enemies of his Into chief. Coupled with his letter of renunciation this action of Mr. Blaine naturally will subject him to charges of insincerity nnd bad faith. Some of the enemies of Mr. Harrison claim that the stop Mr. Blnlno .hna just taken should bo interpreted as a revoca tion of his former letters declining to allow his name to go before the conven tion. Others assort that Mr. Blaine Is not n candidate himself , but desires to throw his inlluonco against Mr. Harri son and for some other candidate. In cither case his position is not enviable. If Mr. Blaine desires to bo the stand ard bearer of the republican party , ho has taken tin indefensible method to achieve that ond. The ronublicana of America were called upon nearly six months ago to select delegates to the national convention , each of the re spective states was directed to cheese its delegates at least thirty days before the national convention assembled. The manifest object of .tho call wns to give umplo time for full and _ free ex pression for the rank nnd file. If Mr. Blnlno doslrod the nomination , ho should have withdrawn from the cabi net and recalled his letter of renuncia tion months ag6 nnd in a manly , opdn way placed hlmsolf.squarqly on the race * trnck. Und ho done so Mr. Harrison might not have nllowod his friends to present his nnmo for ronotnlnntlon , nnd Mr. Blaine could possibly have been nominated by acclamation. Such a nomination would hnvo harmonized all factions ana secured for him the undi vided support of the party. But Mr. Blaine is now placed in a false light by his most ardent political sup porters. They claim that his former declination was made with a mental res ervation , and their course will plnco Mr. Blaine and the party on the defensive in the coming campaign if his nomination is forced as the outcome of a bitter factional fight. The repub lican party is on the eVe of a campaign that cannot bo won without harmony , and Mr. Blaine must realize that his can didacy under the peculiar circumstances that would surround it is bound to foment discord and will seriously imperil hisown nnd the party's success. POSTAL SAVINGS HANKS. The favorite project of Postmaster General Wanamakor is still the estab lishment of postal savings banks. Ho believes that the pcoplo of the country would bo glad of an opportunity to deposit - posit their hoarded cash In the hands of the government. Before two congresses ho has urged adoption of the plnns. Respecting the details ns ho has formu lated them , ho says : Ono reason why postal savings b.inks have not hitherto boon established in the United States is that private banks hnvo opposed' the schema. They have feared that their nuslnoss would bo interfered with. As a matter of fact there is no foundation for such na apprehension , inasmuch as postal savings banks depositories would. not antagonize nor tulco away business from private concerns. The govern ment would always pay a smaller rate of interest to depositors , and its customers would bo a different class from those of the private savings bunks. Whereas the latter handle largo sums for busi ness men nnd have the custody of estates , triibts and the like , the govern ment would only deal with the compara tively insignificant savings of the workIng - Ing pcoplo. Another obstacle has boon the lack of interest bearing securities of the govern ment in which to Invest the enormous sums that would bo received on deposit. A consorvtitlvo estimate has placed the amount which would como into postal savings depositories if they wore established in this country at 8300,000- 000 , which sum would probably bo reached in less than two years. This money , of course , could not bo looked up In vaults and thus withdrawn from cir culation. It must bo made to pay Its way , BO to aponic , to earn interest for depositors and also to componsata post- olllco employes In wages for work they would do In connection with handling It and keeping records of It , The most natural and secure way of diseasing of those deposits would bo lo invest them in government bonds , but these bonds are rapidly ulsapponrlng. The last of thorn will mature In about sixteen years and uomo other plan than Investment In these securities will bo necessary. The postmaster general suggests a system that will adapt itself to the wauls of tlio people. Ills plan Is to use cards with upacoa for postage stamps to bo affixed to thorn , the cnrds with stamps to bo received in lieu ot cash ns deposits. In the nbsonco of government securIties - Itios for the Investment of the cash ho suggests thnt the money bo Itopt in clr- culnllon nnd innilo to onrn n low rnto of interest by lending the deposits received in ouch stnto to the nntionnl bnnks of the snmo stnto. Tlio presumption is thnt the Inttor would bo glnd to pay n low rrito of Inlorost to the government. The savings deposits would bo mndo pro- lorred clnlms against the assets of the This matter is ono which Interests the whole people , nnd especially these in rural communities where savings banks nro few and fnr batwoon. The system hns boon very successful in Europe , nnd there Is no reason why it should not bo so In this country. TliR ilVSlNKSS SITUATION. Morcnntilo ngonoy reports err , when they err nt all , on the sldo of consorva * tlsm. It Is therefore gratifying lo find In It G. Dun & Co.'s brlof sulnmary of the situation , published elsewhere , so encouraging a ton-j. The banks have more money than they know what to do with. The savings institutions show that our people have nearly $8,500,000 laid by for a rainy day. Several of the banks show a remarkable growth fn the last yonr anil at least ono proposes a very largo Increase of capital. In the jobbing trade the reports for the last four months are not so bright hued , but it is stated that the sombre shade was put into this branch of our commercial life by the last two months of inexcusably depressing weather. The remarkable fact is that nil our jobbers hold their own while many enjoyed a largo Increase In trade over the corresponding period of 1891. Retail trade hi Omaha has suffered a great deal in the past two years and the five months just ended have sc'ou no im provement. The complaint of dullness , especially In the larger establishments , is very general. Nevertheless , our job bing houses report collections exception ally good and the banks say that the retailers tailors are not borrowing much money. These two facts taken tog'cthor are of considerable consequence. When retail dealers are losing money their , cred itors are pretty certain to discover it and either their Bankers or their job bers or both will feel the pressure very early. There la therefore promise of hotter things oven for the retail trade when the dealers hug the shore so closely as to bo almost entirely out of danger. For the state at largo the mercantile agency shows that there were but forty , nine failures during March , April nnd Mny of this year with not loss of but $76,833 , as against 102 failures last year nnd an aggregate of not losses of 3187- 7C9. This is a very important fact ns showing the rentwed ) confidence of the community at largo and the revival of trade in the farming districts. It is not surprising , therefore , to rend in the same connection the further information that reports from the towns nnd villages of the state all point to a bettor fooling In all lines of local retail trade. OMAHA KKEDS. There Is ono aspect of the Nebraska Central project that should not bo lost sight of in estimating the advantages which it offers to the city of Omiha , and that la the inlluonco which It will have upon the courage and enterprise of busi ness men in all branches of activity. If the project were to bo considered merely from this point of view it would bo seen that Its success would In the nature of things produce the most important and far reaching results. Omaha is no exception to the rule that cities thrive by the impetus which minor industries and enterprises receive from great ones. The man who looks upon the Nebraska Central enterprise ns ono that stands apart by itself with out relation to hundreds of others upon whichJt will exert n powerful influence must bo very shortsighted. This city needs the renewal of energy and cour age that will como to Its business men and capitalists the moment that this .great project becomes an assured fact. There is unlimited capital In Otnnha and elsewhere that would quickly seek in vestment in this community as soon as the now current of life began to course through its veins. The city has for some time boon waiting for just such an Impetus as this enterprise could give. Capital , of which there is an abundance in our banks , ought to bo invested in ways that would benefit the city. The oroukors who are trying to undermine public conlldonco ought to bo silenced by evidences of prosperity that oven they could not dony. Real estate transactions have lately boon small In comparison with what they should bo , and the growth of in dustrial nnd trade enterprises has not como up to the mark which It should have reached. This does not moan that Omaha is not prospfcring ; It simply means that capitalists have been apa thetic and that business men in general have been slow to push their opportuni ties. It Is to bo hoped that they will see that the Nebraska Central move ment , an important ono in itself , is yet more Important in the stimulating inllu once which it will exert upon business hero. Thli broad vlow of the question should bo the view of every man Inter ested in the future of Omaha. The oily needs the impetus which will como with a renewal of courage and enthusiasm on the part of business men. TJIK I'AOKINO OKNTKR. Tills newspaper has frequently called the attention of Us readers in apodal editorial articles to South Omaha , and yet wo are convinced that not ono citi zen in a hundred in the city properly appreciates the importance of this busy , crowing suburb. They have learned from the newspapers and through other sources that It Is the third packing city in the union , and hns become an Import ant railroad ceutor , but Us real merits nro very llltlo understood. It is the backbone of Omaha's prosperity. The clearings of the South Omaha banks if shown separately would startle some of our conservative citizens. Exchanges tiggroyiitlng 81,000,000 in a single day through a slngto pno of the throe banks scarcely arouse comment among the bunk clerks. The enormous transac tions which go on atthat busy seven- year-old commercial suburb can only bo understood and appreciated by persons who nro on thogrountlnnd participating in them. The slock yards company , with an en terprise which is commendable , keeps just a little ahead of the growth of business nnd therefore is expending this yonr between 8100,000 nnd $200,000 in enlarging the fncllltlos for handling stock , /rho pnckorV nlroady on the ground are all jnaljlng additions to their plants nnd by'Jtho uloso of the building season w U have added from 05 to 75 per cent to thowonpaclty of last year. They will then have facilities for killing 4,760,000 , , Jiogs , 1,150,000 cat tle and a proportionate number of ahoop. It does not follow of course that these new houses can In n single year bo run to their full capacity , but It does follow that tlio great packers foresee a great future for this packing center. It is not surprising , therefore , that other largo packing house owners are looking toward Omaha. In fact , It is merely n question of'a ' little time when both Armour nnd Morris will' llrtd it necoss.iry to plncon Jew millions In South Omaha. TJIO steady nnd ranld growth of business Is shown In another column as far ns figures cnn mnko this clear , but the citizen ; of Omaha who does not visit the yards nnd packing houses Is wofally ignorant of fncUt which would drlvo n great deal of pessimism out of the most obstinate of moasbaoks. v ALL WB/iDjj OKR&TO II OMEN. The rapidity with wh'lch the domain of the modern woman Is being extended finds illustration in th'o case of Miss Maria Morgan , who died n few dnys ago at Jersey City , Women have in recent years entered almost every profession and pursuit in which men nro engaged , and they have very o'fton shown them selves able to cope oh equal terms with tholr ranscullno competitors. The call ing Into which Miss Morgan's tastes led her was unique , and U was ono in which few women could have achieved the success ' cess which she won. She wns an author ity upon horses nnd cattle , nnd" her whole life was devoted to this subject. For ninny yonrs she , was a regular writer on live stocic matters for the Now York Times nnd was widely known among the newspaper men of the metropolis as a "cattle reporter. " She was a regular contributor to many journals upon sub jects relating to horses and ca'ttle , and her opinions were always hold in the hlches * ostoom. Her earnest devotion to a field of work which no other woman had over entered made Miss Morgan n peculiar figure ampner "tho members of her sex who arU strlyfiig for recognition in the varioun Occupations hitherto monopolized by mont 5 j Miss Morgan w .odrn in Ireland and was the daughter SaijvoaUhy ; country gentleman who llvtodjnoar Cork. While she was yet a youij&Mrl her father was taken ill and sh , managed his stock ' farm successfully 'jln her , , maturor years she was aVi qxtonslvo traveler , and among the distinguished person ages with whom slwb'ocimo acquainted was Victor EmanuelJ king" of Italy , who commissioned , her , to qnurqhap l orsos for his horse''guards jind'gavo ' her su pervision of his stables. After her ar rival In this country she boeamo ac quainted with Horaoo-rGrooloy , James Gordon Bonnoti nnd Henry J. Raymond mend and became a contributor to the Tribune , Herald and Times of No w York upon subjects connected with horses and cattle. She was an able writer and possessed all the qualifications which o man would require to fit him for reportorial - torial work In Now York City. As a proof that she was thoroughly compe tent to make her way In lifo against the obstacles which women always find when they are thrown upon tholr own resources , it may bo'statod that she loft a fortune of about 8100,000 , which rep resents her profits from newspaper work. Few women are endowed by nature with qualities which would fit them for the work which Miss Morgan found BO profitable , but the example of her remarkable - markablo career ought to bo sulllciont proof thnt women who nro obliged to rely upon tholr own resources will find no occupation closed to them. Ability and energy will alwnys win. STANDING IN TllKIll OH'A * LIGHT. Sympathy for the colored people of the south on account of the treatment which they receive nt the hands of the whites is not entirely misplaced , but sympathy for the south in general on account of the disadvantages under which it labors by reason of the senti ment which upholds mob law is entirely ) n order. Every day brings.now reports of mob violence. There seems to bo an epidemic of lynching , raging in manv of the southern states and it is assuming proportions that ought to alarm all lovers pf law and order. In some portions tions of the south almost the ontlro white population has glvon up logitl- ' mate occupations to engage in a general crusade against colored olTondors. It is reported that in some localities the farmers have loft their fields to shoulder the shotgun and tlrnt the women only are loft to plant th * spol ] for the harvest that must stand .ibptwoon thorn and etaivation next fall.1 J The people of tljg'i rth who depre cate such a state ot.uffnira do not there by place thonwolvOjS In , the attitude of apologizing for thp'/pjlondors / against whom this lynching v'rnovomoiit is di rected. The critnq of brutal assault upon women la onehat } , arouses indigna tion every where , and ' the sovorily of Iho punishment provld' jiy law shows how strong the foollngnisj In every state ngalnat It , but tho'Vor fact thnt the law Is adequate nnd surVof enforcement by regular methods of-ptocoduro is a suf ficient argument agiinat the course now pursued by mobs. Whoii such a fovorUh state of feeling exists Innocent men are sure to suffer with the guilty. In many cases , no doubt , Innocent men will fall victims to the rage of the mobs , for undorsueh conditions as now prevail in the south an accusation of guilt is all that is required to insure the summary execution of the accused. There is no excuse for the extraordi nary course which the southern whites are pursuing. They n.r.o doing \vrong to themselves by proclaiming tholr dis regard of law to tliQ , world , The law is as effective an instrument In the eoulh ns elsewhere for the punishment of crime. The men who nro encourag ing such proceedings as these which nro now dally roporlad from the south nro inflicting injury upon themselves and upon the whole country. Steadfast ob servance of law and order Is the only safe course for any community. NO KSGA.PK fllOM TIIK PltOPlIKT. Not very long ngo Mr. Cleveland said lo Senator Carlisle : "I am not a candi date nnd shall not bo , nnd if my nnmo Causes u wrnnglo among democrats I hall not permit It to bo used. " Since then the democrats of several states have wrangled over Mr. Cleveland's candidacy , nnd in his own stnto the wrangling has assumed the proportions of an open and avowed war between the supporters and the onpononts of the ox president. But instead of prohibiting the use of his name in the interest of harmony Mr. Cleveland has encouraged his supporters to make a vigorous and .Uncompromising fight for the control of the Chicago convention , N6t a single Word hns ho said in tholntorostot peace , nor hns ho in any way indicated to his lieutenants that ho does not approve of the aggressive1 methods which they nro employing to force his nomination. 5 The Chicago convention will decide the political fate of Mr. Cleveland for nil tlmo. Ho hns thrice entered the lists for the presidency , nnd whether ho wins or loses this time in the struggle for the nomination ho will never aghln boacon- Bpicuous figure in American politics. It is his last ohnnco , and it is evident that ho appreciates the fact that ho must win the nomination- the election this year or bo fotovor out of the race for the highest honors that can bo bestowed by the people. No person acquainted With Mr. Cleveland's career will bollovo that ho will relinquish his ambition while there Is a fighting ohanco loft. Ho will ho a candidate before the Chicago convention and his forces will bo arrayed for battle thoro. If ho gains the nomi nation his enemies will put him to death at the polls. If ho loses It the successful candidate will receive at the most an indifferent support from the followers of Cleveland. Whichever way they turn the democrats find that Grover Cleve land Is n factor in the problem thnt con fronts them. Ho is a condition and not n theory. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ SHOULD HEGIN KAnLY. The publio school celebration 'of the 100th anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus , which will take place all over the country on October 12 , is a matter that deserves to receive attention before the summer vacation begins , in order that the work may not bo all crowded into the short time that will remain after the schools are opened for the fall term. If the celebration is to bo made as imposing and success ful as the occasion demands it will bo necessary to begin preparations for it before vacation. To do all that will bo required after the pupils assemble again in September will interfere with tholr regular work and result in more or loss confusion. That the whole country looks forward to this part of the Columbian colobra- ttion with interest is shown by the fact that the posts of the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the United States have boon ordered by the commander- in-chief to c6-oporato with the schools in tholr respective towns. This will add to the impressiveness and dignity of the exorcises and will tend to stimu late the patriotic feelings of the chil dren. The Grand Array mon in Omaha have already begun to discuss the sub ject. Tun great public fetes which will begin - gin in the French town of Nancy today have boon looked forward to with appre hensive interest by all Europe on ac count of the disturbing influence which the popular demonstration there may have upon the relations between Franco and Germany. Owing to the boundary changes which resulted from the Franco-Prussian war the city of Nancy now lies close to the Got man border. The French fooling naturally runs high in Nancy , and consequently Gorman students there have recently been ostra cised by the youth of the town , who look upon the recovery of the French pro vinces ns a thing to bo desired and ox- pooled. It is arranged that President Carnet shall visit the fetes , nnd this will undoubtedly inflame the old antagonism between the two countries. The French are excitable , but the Germans are cool and slow to anger. It is to bo hoped that coolness will prevail on both sides , and that the celebration at Nancy will not intensify the old antagonism. THE odltov of Uarper'3 Weekly has been in the past an ardent supporter of Mr , Cleveland , but it has changed its tone and now warns the followers of the prophet that they are courting defeat. George William Curtis not only Jjollovcs that the nomination of Cleveland would bo fatal , but ho also believes that the February convention against which the Syracuse demonstration was aimed was perfectly regular and must bo allowed to stand as a convention representative of the democracy of Now York. This is a Borious blow to the anti-Hill men. They have counted too confidently upon tholr mugwumpallios.
