The administration of President liar- (
risen will bo distinguished in our his
tory chiefly fo' its practical , business
character. It has been most able and
judlclru ? in the management of Interna
tional nlfrdra , with the effect of greatly
Increasing the rospoot of other nations
for tbo United Stales and the value of
this cannot bo overestimated , but what
has been done under tbo present admin
istration In oxtondlng and enlarging
the trade and commerce of the country ,
nnd thu * Increasing the general prosper
ity , will bo of moro enduring worth to
the nation. It Is this , in connection
with the firm stand of the administra
tion for a sound and stable currency ,
that has inndo President Harrison par
ticularly strong with the business men
of the country. They see in him a safe ,
conservative executive , who rospccts
well established financial nnd economic
principles and has the courngo In all
circumstances to adhere to tbnm. They
knowjilm to bo a st.itosman who has nt
heart the welfare of the whole country
and the firmness to maintain his con
victions of what is needed for the gen-
ornl good.
President Harrison Is entitled to the
credit of having given hearty supPort -
Port to the policy of reciprocity. IIo
might easily have treated It as Presi
dent Arthur did , but he saw in it what
his predecessor waa unable to see ,
owing to the peculiar inlluoncos that
operated upon him , a wise and certain
moans of enlarging and oxtondlng the
markets for our products , as well as of
establishing moro intimate rotations
with ether American .republics , and bo
did not hcsltato to approve it and glvo it
bin constant and earnest support. The
honor associated with the success of this
policy is largely shared by the presi
dent. No fair-minded man will deny
that the position of President Harrison
regarding stiver had moro Inlluonco
than anything OBO ! in defeating the ef
forts In congress to pass a bill providing
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
Had bo not taken a firm stand on this
issue , hiul ho nermitted any doubt of his
uri)03o ) to vote a free coinage measure ,
it is not questionable that the sup-
portoi'd of free coinage would have
carried a bill through congress , and the
damaging olTccts of such legislation
upon the currency and the business of
the country would have boon very groat.
The agitation of this subject would have
had a more sorlous oftoct than it has had
but for the conviction that the president
Stood as an immovable b.trrior to the
success of free coinage.
The financial and commercial inter
ests of the country have learned to feel
secure against the inauguration of any
wild and reckless schemes for unsettling
and disturbing the monetary and busi
ness systems of the country under the
present administration.
They know there is no dancer to bo
apprehended from subtroasury schemes ,
fiat currency propositions , and iilvo
cranky expedients , with Benjamin liar-
ribon in the presidential chair. The
continued progress and prosperity of the
country depends upon the maintenance
of the sound , practical principles which
have characterized tlio Harrison ad
ministration , nnd it is not to bo doubted
that the business intoro-ita of the country
will bo found standing together In favor
of rctnining that adnunisttation in
power. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Speaking of the antl-IIill convention
at Syracuse the Now York Sun says :
"A handful of discroditad and disowned
former federal officeholders , deprived of
tlioir posts by the unwise and suicidal
non.ination of the presidential candidate
whom they nro again endeavoring to
put in the field , hold a farcical conven
tion of bolters in Syracuse yesterday ,
under tlio lo id of some miscellaneous
mugwumps. "
This is significant chlolly as showing
ho\v the Hill people fool about the
movement by which the Cleveland fac
tion expects to secure recognition at
Chicago. It fairly represents the war
like spirit that prevails among the sup
porters of the senator and undoubtedly
tills spirit will be freely expressed in
the Chieugo con volition. It is interest
ing to note that while the Syracuse con-
vontlon pledged itself to support the
Chicago nominee the Hill mon of Now
York have not. placed themselves
under a similar plodgo.
Their utterances indicate that they
wiU not support the nominee If bo hap
pens to be Grover Cleveland. Every
expression that has come from Tammany
is to this olfect nnd the words nbovo
quoted from Senator Hill's principal
organ fairly rolled the atrong fooling
of enmity toward the ox-prosldont's
boomerswnlch , has been apparent for
months. Those hopeful democrats who
profess to believe ' .hat the clouds will
bo blown away and that harmony and
brotherly iovo will prevail In the Chi-
cuj'o convention seem to bo strangely
blind to the surface indications. A
promise on the uurt of either faction to
abandon hostilities will ha of no force
whatever. Practical politicians Icnow
well enough what that moans. Neither
the Hill nor the Cleveland mon would
bo foolish enough to leave the national
convention with w.tr paint on their
faces. There will bo n hot contest In
thu convention and then the defeated
side will ratlro with their faces wreathed
In smiles , and the hatchet will bo ox-
hum I'd immediately.

President Harrison might well para
phrase the famous sentence of Charles
James Fox In the trial of Wnrron Hust-
tngb , thua : "The atrocious crime of
being the grandson of my grandfather I
shall attempt , neither to ixill.iito . nor to
deny. " Whatever point there may
htivo boon four ye trs ngo in the silly
Insult because of the older HurrUon's
greater military record bus boon on-
tiioly lotjt hecnuso of , the sturdy , loyal
nnd able administration which baa fol
lowed. William Henry Harrison was a
soldier only. Benjamin Hai-rUon was a
gallant soldier and is a great statesman.
Without an Iota of detraction from his
grandfather's fame , the president has
shown hi insult thu greater man. As well
sneer at John Shorniitn because ho had
no military record like that of his
brother , W. T. Sherman , or the reverse ;

father nnd Cyrus Field n blockhead be
cause ho is not so great a lawyer as his
brother on the United States supreme
bench. Illustration ) * multiply. Thu fluids
are different and who shall Judge which
utho greater ? Certainly not the 111 it-
pant political opponent.
William Henry Harrison might have
made a great president. Yet ho came
to the olllco an absolutely untried man
und the olllcosookors , following the pjln-
clplcs of Jackson , rushed him to bis
grave. Twenty-six years passed be
tween his public service on the battle
field and hla inauguration and that his
tory Is politically a blank.
Few great generals are great In civil
offices. Napoleon and Ctcsar were great
In either place , but they were mon ot
genius. Hunnlbal ami Alexander know
nothing of statecraft. The duke of
Wellington's premiership was n suc
cession of disastrous and amusing blun
ders. Few would pronounce Grant's
administration , although honest and
able , equal In grandeur to his majestic
and heroic military campaigns. Prob
ably W. U. Harrison would have boon
only u fair president. As a general ho
may have been his grandson's superior ,

Such opinions as come from responsi
ble sources in Europe do not olTor much
encouragement to the hope that any
thing practical will result from the In
ternational silver conference. The
ablest oconoinlc authorities there declare
that the opening of European mints to
free coinage Is utterly out of the ques
tion , and they generally concur in sug
gesting rntbor that there should bo an
abandonment of the free coinage of sll-
vor as it exists In India and ether coun
tries.
A difficulty thnt appears to some of
these economists to bo practically insur
mountable is that of establishing a com
mon silver ratio One of these observes
that even wore Franco , for example , to
propose the adoption of a general silver
policy tbo question of a ratio would be
likely to prove a grave obstacle to an
agreement. Neither the old figure in
Franco nor the ratio In tbo United States
is to bo thought of , the tlmo having
gene by for the prices which stand for
these two ratios , probably never to re
turn. In his recent speech in the senate -
ate on silver Senator Sherman suggested
that the United States should adopt
another ratio than that of 10 to 1 , but ho
did not say what ho thought the ratio
ought to ln beyond observing that ut
the present price of silver it is about 23
to 1. It is hardly prob iblo , however ,
that any of the countries of Eurooo , nnd
particularly Great Britain , would agree
to this ratio.
The only thing that appears to bo rea
sonably well assured regarding the in
ternational conference is that there-
suits will not Ho in the direction of free
coinage. With a stock of silver exceed
ing fifteen hundred million dollars the
countries of Europe nro not disposed to
increase their store of the white metal ,
and there is small chance , as now ap
pears , that they can bo induced to seri
ously consider any plan that would In
volve the necessity of doing bo. While ,
therefore , there can bo no objection to
holding tbo conference at this time ,
which is , perhaps , peculiarly auspicious
for an international discussion of the
silver quojt.lon , the outlook is not alto
gether favorable for any practical re
sults. In view of this situation , every
sensible man ought to see that it would
bo disastrous folly on the part of tbo
United States to open its mints to tbo
free nnd unlimited coinage of silver.

RoDrosontativo Springer has boon in
terviewed on the political situation and
has said some interesting things inter
esting because Mr. Springer is a man of
considerable consequence in the demo
cratic organization , and may DO sup
posed to possess some inside knowledge
us to the inlluoncos that are at work
within his own party. Ho says that ,
in his opinion , Mr. Clovolnnd is not
available , "owing to tbo hostility to
him of tbo old soldiers , the farmers
alliance and the Now York party
machine. " Mr. Springer says that the
democrats propose to in iko tariff re
form the issue , and yet the candidate
who stands for UirilT reform moro than
anything else is not , in his opinion , a
good man to carry the domouratlo
standard in this campaign. Why Is ho
not us good a candidate now as ho over
wasV The congressman speaks of tbo
hostility of the old soldiers , but that
certainly is no moro serious now than it
haa boon hnrotoforo ; ho mentions the
farmers alliance , but it ia a significant
fact thut many democrats count upon
that as iv source of strength by means
of which spine western states heretofore
republican are to bo raado democratic , ;
he alludes to the opposition of the Now
York machine , and there ho touches
the real rouson , though it ia ono that
no democrat likes to refer to.
It will bo observed that hero is an-
-nthor friend and admirer of Grover
Cleveland , an Inllucntial democrat of na
tional reputation , who does not believe
that the ox-president can bo elected
upon the tarllf reform issue , of which he
is the most conspicuous exponent In his
p irty. It Is evident that the democracy
is afraid of the man and also afraid of tbo
issue , Mr. Cleveland will have all the
delegated ho will need nt Chicago , but
ho will bo thrown overbo ird as unavail
able If mon like Springer are able to ac
complish that result. Tarill reform is
the only issue in sight for the democrats
at present , but they are afraid of It.
With Cleveland they cannot back down
and escape it ! l they find the campaign
going against them. With some loss
conspicuous inun , who does not stand
lor anything in particular , they could
fall back upon empty noise and bun
combe nt any stage of the canvass.
These are troublous times for the
democracy.
TilK complaint of Omaha manufactur
ers us to the disadvantages they are
under by reason of unjust discrimina
tions in railroad freight rutoa Is doubt
less well founded. They 6ay that eololy
fur this reason they cannot compote wild
Chicago and Si. Louis In territory
naturally tributary to Omaha , and they
present fac's In support of this state-
iii'jnt which Beam to bo conclusive.
Thee appears to LO In this u case for
the attention oL the intorstatocommerce
commission , atiltio | ( manufacturers who
feel that their interests are sulTerlng
from nn unjust discrimination on tbo
part of the railroads should unite und
present their grUynnco to the commis
sion. There Is nmtrood reason why they
should put oil effort to obtain u remedy
until the organisation of the freight
bureau , the Inlhionco of which with the
railroads might bo no greater than their
own It they were united. There Is a
way provided by law for correcting the
abuses of which they complain , and that
is the way they should tako.
Tin : Nebraska Business Men's asso
ciation unanimously adopted u resolu
tion In favor of patronizing-homo manu
factories. This is woll. If the retail
merchants of the state will strictly ad
here to this policy it will have a xvon-
dcrfuUy stimulating affect upon the man
ufacturing industries of Omaha , and In
return tbo retailers will reap 'great
benefit. Every practical man will see
that tboro is mutual helpfulness and ad
vantage in such n policy , and Its strict
observance would certainly double the
manufacturing Industries of the state
within tho. next two or three yours ,
thereby greatly increasing the gonurnl
prosperity. _ _ _ _ _
ONr. of California's prominent nnd in
fluential mon , M. .M. Eitoo , who was
chairman of the national republican con
vention in 18SS , says that , ho can see no
reason whatever why the republicans
should not carry his state with tbo
ticket named ut Minneipolls. Ho says
California Is naturally repuohcin be
cause ita interests dqpand greatly upon
the enforcement of the republican pro
tective policy , tbo bulk of its products
being of the kinds that need fostering in
their infancy. ElToctivo work and or-
ganlzation should put that state on the
rij htsldo this year in spite ot confident
democratic predictions to the contrary.

the Nebraska Business Men's associa
tion contained a- point that is in line

tion throughout the state would adhere
as far ; vs possible to the policy which the
Manufacturers and Consumers associa
tion was organftftd to promote , they
would not only forward their own inter
ests but those of the whole stato. It is
an idea worthy the attention of every
business man in Nebraska.

grievances stated thnt Brother King , the
locord shows , had paid ever all the money
ho had collected to the lodge , th.it ho had
accounted , for every cent wrongfully col
lected.
Brother M. B. Uonso of Lincoln spoke elo
quently in f.xvor of extending leniency to the
member under discussion. Ho stated that
when a man came to Cajsur it was Ciusar's
busibcss to hear the man without prejudice ;
that the orothor had done all he could to
right the wrong committed against his ledge
and should therefore bo excused. After n
number of other Masons had spoken pro and
con a vote was taken on the amendment
which was lost and the report of the com-
mlttoO changing" the sentence to indefinite
suspension adopted.
The committee on codification of the law
made an extended report , the proposed
chances being taken up seriatim.

The grand ledge at 'fSO : o'clock was called
to order by Grand Master Slaughter nnd im
mediately got Into a warm discussion over
1'ast Grand Master Lininger's amendment
offered nt the last annual meeting , which
was called up under the head of unfinished
business. The amendment provides a defi
nition of "past master who is meant ono
who has been installed master of a chartered
ledge ; chapter post masters as such are ex
cluded. "
The committee on unfinished business rec
ommended that the amendme'nt do not , pass ,
which gave Mr. Linlngar an opportunity testate
'
state thnt tbo grand lodga of Ixobraska 'was
the laughing slock of othar grand lodges in
having on its statute books a law that de
fines what a past master is and excepting
chapter past masters , which ne contended
was n branch entirely different from tbo
blue lodgo. Ho was opposed to tbo existing
law which made it necessary for masters to
take the dogreeo of past master twlca.
Messrs. Sudborough , Hecso , Summers ,
Miller ana n dozen others spoke on the ques
tion. A vote bolnc taken on too question
of the adoption of tbo report of the com
mittee , it prevailed nna the law remains as
"heretofore.
JIow to ( Jot Out.
An Important matter was then lalcon up , n
proposed noiv section to the law of Freema
sonry offered last your by Mr. Edwards ,
which ro.uts :
Kosolvod , That section 110. law of Frcciniu-
Miniy. KSs'J ' , ho amended by the addition of ar-
tlolu No. , to rend as follows : "A Muster
Mason , who Is a member or a chartered lodRO.

Mr. Bovvoit said Mr. iCdwards had solved a
problem which has bothered the jrund
lodges of the world for twenty-live years , an
honorable way of leaving a ledge of Frco
Masons. Wbilo the resignation of a Mason
may oparato as a suspension , it loavns htm
clear to again ntllllata with his ledge If ho BO
desires. This resolution Is made for high-
inlnaod , conscientious Masons , who want in
re tire honorably from Masonry , and ho wai
In favor of it for another reason , that the
grand ledge of Nobiasku was the jlrst ledge
iu the United States to solve this embarrass
ing problem.
Not KiitliimluKtlfiilly favored.
Mr. Simmons was heartily in favor of the
proposed resolution and presented reasons
why it should prevail.
Air. itiuwurus , ino minor 01 mo proposed
now law , slated that It was designed to help
conscientious men to leave the ordor. Men
whu possibly had grown tired of the nfllltu-
tion , ana had other interests paramount to
that of u MastorMason. Ho hoped tbo grand
Jurisdiction of Nebraska would not bo afraid
to take hold ot this question oven If it was
10 bo thu pioneer In tills stop.
10. F. Warren of NobrasKu City tnoucht
that Instead of letting a brother go peace
fully the amendment would putu man In vary
bad light , became ho is "suspontcd
for cauio. " Ho thought this was an olfori to
attach upon tlio body of Masonry grafts of
unholy orlirin , Jn the latter nineteenth cen
tury days , ho said , there wore too many frills
being attached to Masonry , whum ho consid
ered an eminently conservative body.
Mr. Llnlngor said that n Muster Mason
could not lay ida thu vows bo had taken
because they wore binding as long us life
lasted. (40 brother could do that , which
sentiment received , \ round of npplauno.
Uriind Chaplain Martin bpoko of thu lluht
giving quulity of Masonry , and urxuod
eloquently In favor of the propoiod amend
ment.

strongly opposed to the idea , for ho believed
that "ouco u Mason always u Mason , " was
the puidiPir tor of Masonry. The

In thu ledge or leaving it with n demit.
Mr. Bowou moved that the matter lay over
for ono voar , which wu defeated.
The report of the committee that the
amendment bo notndoptcd wns then nmondcii
by knocking out the word "not" nnd the
vote taken wns overwhelmingly ngninst the
adoption of tuo amendment.
Tha report of the commltleo w.is then con
curred in thnt the amendment do not pass.

Then the question of granting domlts
brought the Masons el western Nebraska be
fore the grand ledge , n number ot the mas
ters of western lodges contending that ,
doinils wo TO sometimes hold for years by
Master Masons whom , under the law , had
to boi regarded as In good standing.
The old landmarks of Masonry sUUa that
every member should bo n member in good
standing , which Mr. Llnlngor stated came
from no less an authority than .Inmcs Wojjb ,
the famous writer upon Masonio .subjects ,
The grand ledge then got gotlnto n muddle
ever the proposed changes to the law relative
to demits , twenty or more men clamoring for
recognition at tno sanio tlmo. The report of
the committee recommended that the amend
ment bo not passed , but the loJgo mnda a
change of minor Importance HI tlio law of
demits , then passed the cMiimlttoa's recom
mendation.
A number of commlttcos then reported ,
through their sovornl chairmen ,
A by-law was pass d compelling tin-
nftllmtod Masons to pay f. ! per year Into the
relief fund of the grund lodgo.
The report ot the committee on ways nnd
menus WHS adopted as amended.
Mr. Wilson from the comiultteo on criov-
nnccs reported in favor of reinstating
Arthur 1 , Chtlds , which report prevailed.
Chairman Sudborough of thu special com
mittee anpolntod nt the last meeting to take
into consideration the question of Increasing
the revenue of the grand ledge , and to sub
mit n regulation whereby the salary and
expenses of the grand custodian shall bo
paid out of the gruml ledge fund , mudo
recommendation thnt the minimum fee for
the degrees bo raised to $10. The commlttoo
ulso recommended that the grand custodian's
salary bo SIf > 00 , with STOO allowed for
expanses , nnd asked that this report bo
made u special order for business when the
ledge convened In the ovonlnir.
