THE hue and cry that the Nebraska Central will never bo built oven if the bonds uro voted is gotten jp for otToct. Jf there was no probability of the road being built the hiring of a small army of mercenaries to work against the bonds would hardly bo justlllod on the part of the opposition. Ilullroud inun- ugors don't sqanaor thousands of dollars in lighting a phantom. Vote for the Nebraska Central bonds. IT is reported that the contract has boon lot ( or the construction of n rail road from Yankton , S. D. , to Norfolk , Nob. , and that the road will probably bo completed baforo snow lllod. This will afford an outlet lor grain and llvo stock to Omaha from the St. James river valley and will illl n gap that Omaha has long wished to see tilled. But this Is not all , for it will probably compel the Chicago , St , Paul , Mlnnoapolls & Omaha to construct a line from Hurt- inglon to Yankton by way of protecting its own Interests. The connection now promised will bo of great benefit to this city , ard it Is to bo hoped that the prom ise will bo promptly fulfilled. THE cnorulcs of the Nebraska Central in ono breath ritllculo the lOD-mllo line into Iowa , nnd in the nu.xt seek to dis credit the wliolo enterprise by pointing out the fact that no putt of the county proposition is dependent upon the build ing bf that lino. Any man of ordinary candor-howovor , will see that if this branch of the Bohomo were iv part of the county bond proposition the olty would not vote bonds for It. ' In the olty prop osition the building of this line is made n condition precedent to the delivery of $100,000 of the $250,000 In bonds lukod for. There is neither , inconsist ency nor want of frankness in tha mat ter.

DMAiU AHAIXST . ) //M. ) No I'lty In America la nioro advan tageously situated or posaossos greater ndvantntrcs ns tvcommorcinl nnd Indus trial center than Ouinlm. She la in the heart of the great corn bolt , with ninost productive region tributary to hor. She lias abundant homo capital that could innko her n city of half u million people within ton years If It were centered upon enterprises nnd projects that would enormously increase her tralllo and manufactures. But whenever any proposition that promises to promote the growth of Omaha is before her people Omaha nearly always Is divided by selfish mal contents and tnossbacks. The men who have iimassod enormous fortunes In Oraalia by sitting on tholr haunches waiting for the rise In real estate by the enterprise of people of modornto means are always playing dog in the manger. Men who have grown rich out of franchise's which the people plo have voted without prlco and men who have thrust tholr greedy maw into the public treasury on every occasion when the people were disposed to vote away bonuses never join with the people for the common good unless they are the principal bonoliclarlcs. Omaha never will grow and never can prosper so long as Omaha remains arrayed against Omaha. There never was ti time so opportune for administering a rebuke to the greedy , selfish Otnahog as there will bq toilay. It is high time also for our citizens to strike u. tolling blow at the traitors and scoundrels who for amore moro potty advantage would sacrlllco Omaha's interests and lo.ivo her bottled up aim at the mercy of the moat un scrupulous monopoly that has ever dominated ever a city. 111K 1'KVVt.K'S I'AltTV OOX\rKNTIOX. In loss than throe weeks the national convention of the people's party will moot in Omaha. It will bo the largest convnntion of the year , the number of delegates being nearly equal to. the total number in both the republican and dcmocnitio national conventions. It will attract to the city , nt a. moderate estimate , 2.5,000 visitors ! As yet there has been practically no progress made in the preparations for this convention. A gro.it deal of hard work is to bo done and a sum of money raised sulllciont to carry out the assur ances given in behalf of Omaha when the selection of this city as the place for holding tlio convention was sought. It is tlmo the people were aroused to a recognition of their duty in this matter. Wo have a contract to carry out , und if wo fail the city will suffer in the good opinion of people from all parts of the country and there will bo a loss of pros- tico which it will not bo easy to recover. Wo can olTor no excuse for not keeping our contract , or at any rate , no excuse which wo might offer would bo accepted by the disappointed delegates whom wo have promised to take proper -caro of. There is presented the opportunity to demonstrate that Omaha can entertain such a crowd as a political convention draws and that th'oro nro the liberality ana public spirit hero to provide for con volitions. It should bo so well im proved that when hereafter this city enters into competition for any larcro as semblage she can furnish the evidence of her ability and willingness to prop erly entertain it. A meeting of the committees to ar range for the people's parly convention and of citizens generally is called for this afternoon at 4 o'clock , at the Cham ber of Commerce , and it is to bo hoped it will bo largely attended by citizens who are in a position to do something practical. The time is short in which to accomplish what is necessary and there must bo no further delay. It would bo a misfortune to the city'to per mit any default in this matter of provid ing for the convention that will moot here July 4. THK SUCCESS OFI Reciprocity , if not made tin issue in the coming1 campaign , will occupy a prominent place in the discussion of politics. Thoj-opubllcan national con vention made a strong declaration in favor of the policy. Undoubtedly the democratic national convention will pro nounce against it Many of tlio loaders of the democracy have already done HO , nnd , as reciprocity directly antagonizes the democratic policy of free trade , it is most reasonable to expect that the na tional platform of that party will bo un compromisingly hostile to it In opposing this policy the democratic party will bo at a very great disadvan tage , because it will bo confronted by facts showing tlio success of reciprocity which cannot bo disputed. Statistics just mudo public are very instructlvons evidence of the benefits that have already resulted from reciprocity. The agreement with Germany lias boon in operation only a little moro than four months , and among the articles which have boon admitted into that country from the United States at reduced rates of duty are broadstuiTs. In three months the total value of corn , wheat nnd wheat Hour exported from tills country to Gor- niimy was nearly $0,000,000 , about eighteen times as much as was exported during the corresponding months of last year , and ever $2,000,0004n excess of the value of the exports of broadstuiTs tp Germany for the entire your of 1S01. This indicates that from Germany alone thoiowillbuan increased domnnd for products of the American farmer amounting hi a dingle year to at least $25,000.000. The success of reciprocity in Increasing the exports of broudstulTs from the United States to Cuba has been no less remarkable. During the first four months of this year this country exported to the Cuban' market corn , and wheat Hour to the value of ever n million dollars lars , the increase over the corresponding period of last year being 630 per cent , and the amount being considerably in excess of the value of those commodities exported to Cuba for the entire your of 181)1. ) There hns boon a very consider able Increase , also , In other articles which under the reciprocity agreement with Spain ure admitted into Cuba free of duty or ut uroatly reduced rates. In u word , thu exports of the United Status to Cuba have moro than doubled in amount under reciprocity , and the greater part of this gain benefits our agricultural producers. In the fnco of facts of this kind , which cannot bo controverted , opposi tion to reciprocity will hardly gain favor from the Intelligent voters of the coun try. Denouncing as a , humbug and n sham a policy that hns produced such highly satisfactory results will have no weight with thoughtful nnd practical men who nro enpablo of understanding and appreciating the moaning and vnluo of figures. Especially will the agricul tural producers of the country , In whoso Interest the policy of reciprocity was In stituted and who nro its principal bene ficiaries , reject the democratic opinion that It Is a "deadly policy. " The re publican party will welcome the fullest discussion of reciprocity , confident of its ability to show by argument and by In disputable facts that it IB n wise and n winning policy. A I'AKTY of cxcurslonlst-jtotho Manu facturers exposition will arrive from Beatrice today , and on Saturday a rep resentative body of the citizens of Ne braska City will como to Omaha. Ex cursions to the exposition nro being arranged for from Lincoln and Fremont , thn dates of which have not boon fixed , but which will doubtless ttiko maeo early next week. These visitors may bo assured of a most cordial welcome from the people of Omah'i , who o doslty is to cultivate the most friendly relations with the people of all the state. In this respect Omaha has the true metropol itan instinct. She is proud of the progress and prosperity of her sister cities , antl receives with gladness every evidence of industrial growth coming- from Nebraska towns. The ponplo of Omnha understand th.it tholr welfare is identical with that of the whole state und that there can bo no growth tiny- whore in the honolit of which Nebraska's metropolis will not sliaro to some ex tent. They ard loyal to everything that is Nobraskan. The excursionists from the thriving and progressive cities of our great state will find Omaha moro attractive than ovor" before and its people prepared to show thorn every consideration and courtesy.

In the earlier history of our national existence America was Ig nored. As our natiofml prowess was de veloped wo were feared and them respected , To bo respected , bo said , was gventor than to bo fearod. The story of America , said Dr. Scott , was the story of her Individual mon. Individu ality wus Iho secret of our national success. Ho Illustrated this fact bv tolllni ; the story of tbo mutiny on board the Santa Maria , which Columbus quelled by his Individual personality.
