Now , who will vouch for Shtirz'a judgment on politic il affaird ? TIIKIIK is no use talking about the democrats carrying Indiana. Tom llondricka was the only democrat who could carry that state , and ho is dead. WK KIIL : very sorry for Governor McKinley tbla morning as ho roads liow utterly his pot theories were de molished by young Mr. Bryan last night.

THE engineer of the city hall in Don- 'Ver has just been dismissed by the mayor for extravagance in the use of coal.Wo judge from this that the backbone of winter is broken in Denver. ONR thing has boon conclusively demonstrated by the outcome of the Ne braska Central election. Tlio corpora tion bosses cannot control the votes of the wngoworkors employed under thorn. THE Now York World is hard at work defeating President Harrison in the same vigorous manner and with the Bamo brilliant , italic typo with which it elected the democratic ticket in Rhode Island. oatato dealers will presently experience a stiffening in prices of Omaha dirt. The tremendous majority given the Nebraska Central is n stimu lant that will make itself felt not only at homo but abroad. THE re-election of Senator Aldrich by a vote ol nearly twlco as much as his opposition is a distant echo of the war In Rhode Island last March in which Cleveland so overwhelmingly carried the state for the republicans. So FAII only one boy has boon drowned In Omaha this summer. There are plenty of ponds about the city in which boys nro constantly swimming or sailing on rafts. But if those pools of water are loftn Htllo longer they will begin to got In their deadly work in another way. M M MH H MM IN I'UTTiNa the now roof upon the democratic wigwam in Chicago in place of the ono that was blown oil a largo number of posts have boon'iisod to sup port it , and it is said they will be very nnnoying.

HJH do- rotion to Parnoll when Parnoll's course demanded the condemnation of all true Irishmen and his enmity to Dillon and Pltzgor.ild. simply because they con- lured Purnoll , are not points calculated to win favor in America.- Now that Omaha has demonstrated Hint her people arc determined to push things in spite of mossbaoka , croakers ind obstructionists , she will soon dls- tanco her rivals noi-th and south and take hoi- proper rank as tlio largest com mercial and industrial center between Chicago , St. Louis and Sun Francisco. WK AUK gratified to kno-v that our vigilant contemporary , the H'// , , finds the roHiilt of the bond election jiut us it hud predicted. If it had gene the other way that shoot would also have boon tiblo to claim with equal truthfulness that the election wont just us it had pre dicted. Our lynx-eyed contemporary is very much like a ferry bont. It is al- wnys In position to run in either direc tion. TIIK nldormon of Chicago never have had the reputation of bolng very dignl- lied , but the following from the Ucralil ehows that they need to bo taken out into the woodahodund judlclouj'y sprouted : "At the lust mooting of the city council the aldermen forgot all idcua of propri ety und decency und demeaned them- solve * llko u lotrof niggod urchins at a bootblacks' picnlu Waste-paper bas kets , booltH , couts nnd paper balls were thrown freely ubout the room und for a conaldorntilo tlmo tlio wildest confusion prevullou. " .t rrcronr ron OMAHA. The decisive vote by which the Ne braska Central bond proposition hits been endorsed affords gratifying proof of the determination of our citizens to remove the embargo which for years htis been the most serious drawback to the growth" of Omaha. Up to the day of election the opponents of the Nebraska Central were confident of their ability to defeat the proposition. A two-thirds vote in the face of organized opposition equipped with abundant means and backed by powerful corporations is very hard to get. But the people of Omaha wore aroused as they never had boon before. They roaliznd that they had everything ut stake In carrying the bondaand could not bo swerved from their purpose by appeals and throats. True , the subsidy voted to the Nebraska Contrails enormous , but It is a moro bngatollo in view of the magnitude of the enterprise und the incalculable ben efits Omaha will derive from Its execu tion. 'With the Nebraska Central us an nQdtipm ! fdnt Omnlin ti Q nnh onlv frtl- ever settled liorstatus nsa grout railroad center but has made cortaln the estab lishment ol n grout grain inarKot , I'his moans an increase of 50,000 population in the next llvo yours. It means the In fusion of renewed confidence and vital ity. It moans that the year 1893 will witness greater business activity in Omaha than wo have over soon in this city before. While THK BHK is not given lo vain glorious boosting it may justly claim the credit of being an important factor in what it sincerely bollnvos to bo the greatest victory Omaha has over achieved for her permanent prosperity. A VAUIKTI' Of KSriMATKS. There is a confusing variety of esti mates of the probable strength of candi dates in the Chicago convention. Thcro will bo 900 delegates in the convention , so that 000 will bo necessary to a choice under the two-thirds rule. Ono Cleve land cstimuto gives him SSI votes , with 225 opposed und ninety-four douotful ; another places his vote on the first bal lot at 500 and Hill's ut 200 , the rest being divided among the other possible candidates. Several Hill estimates have boon issued , the latent of which at hand gives him 310 votes on the first ballot and Cleveland -175 , the others being distributed to Palmer , Carlisle nnd Boies. An apparently disinterested estimate , mttdo up at Washington , gives Cleveland 421 and Hill 183. The significant fact about these esti mates is thnt even those made up by the friends of Mr. Cleveland do not allow him the necessary two-thirds , while he is conceded a majority on the first ballot by the Hill supporters. There is no doubt that Cleveland will go into the convention with u support approximat ing pretty closely to two-thirds , and the question will very likely arise whether the principle that his prevailed in democratic conventions since 1838 , that a candidate who hns a majority of the votes is entitled to the nomination , shall bo respected. The probability is that no i-ogard will bo paid to this prin ciple , and in that case the failure of Mr. Cleveland to secure the nomination on the lirat ballot would very likely DO fatal to his chances , for the reason that ho will doubtless show his full strength at the 01 tsot. The latest estimate of the friends of Mr. Cleveland of his vote on the first ballot , 600 , cannot be re garded in the circumstances as warrant ing confidence in his nomination. As to Mr. Hill , ho , simply has no chance at all and probably knows it. Reports of com binations uro beginning to come in , and the prospect is that there will bo ono of the most interesting figh in the his tory of political conventions. OUR PACKING INTERESTS. The importance of the immense puck- ing interests at South Omaha have loner boon understood and appreciated by those who have studied the sources of this community'b prosperity , but they nro destined to exert u still greater In fluence upon the expansion of trudu and manufacturing 'industries here. The growth of Omaha must of necessity bo onormouoly stimulated by the rapid extension of the vast packing interests. Following closely upon the announce ment recently made that Swift & Co. of South Omaha had commenced work on improvements in their peeking business that would increase the capacity of their establishment fully 23 per cent , comes the news of still further enlargement by the sumo enterprising firm. The total capacity of their works is to bo increased 100 per C3nt , necessitating the employ ment of from 1,800 to 12,000 mon. Those additional facilities will enable them to handle . ' ! ,000 beeves a day. The people of Omaha , and all whoso interests uro centered hero , have reason to rejoice at this prosperous outlook. ADMISS'OX , The Now York Ttmvi is a pretty thorough partisan newspaper and has not of lute years missed mmy opprlunitioB tosuyu word against the candidates unit policies of the republican party , but the rcnomlnatlon of President Harrison risen has placed it in un uncomfortable position. Knowing very wall that the business interests of the count-y und the thoughtful people generally tire pleased with the administration of Mr. Harri son , it cannot very well find fault with his cindiduoy for another term , but as u moans of showing that , it hits not lost faith In Mr. Cleveland It puts the matter In this way : ' 'One thing is per fectly plain to every sensible observer , and that , is th.it u cinvaas for the presi dency with Il'irrison and Clovoliind as candidates would reduce the disturb- unco to business to the lowest possible amount , und would , in fuot , pruotlo.illy prevent any Borlous disturbance what- over. " The Blgnllicanco of this will bo appre ciated by all who know how urdontly the limes udmlroa Mr. Cleveland' . For borne years that admiration has been almost beyond oxprosnion. It has amounted lo u sort of idolatry , utfd the name of the ox-prcsidont has boon pub forward on all occasions us ono to bespoken spoken reverently. But now this grout prophet of reform is named side by aide with Prujldont Harrtaon , and the ro- nitirkuhlo uJmission ia uvulo that the canvass of the republican candidate will not disturb business any moro than that of Mr. Cleveland would. But this extraordinary admission has u meaning that extends beyond the per sonality of the two men , The Times Is u free trade pjtpo. % if there is ono any where. President Hnrrison stands for protection. Are wo to understand thnt thU great organ of Clovol.mil. un d free trade regards the protective policy as ono that will be viewed with com * placoncy by the business interests of the country ? It ao , there is no occasion for argument on this subject. It may bo assumed that the republican policy suits nil who uro not opposed to it or dis turbed by it. In other words , it may bu taken for granted that the country is plotsed with the pro.sldont's adminis tration , nnd not nt till disposed to bo ularmod by the prospect of his ro- oloction. OMAHA AKD 1HK STATfi AT One of the speakers ut the banquet given to the Nebraska Business Mon'a association remarked upon the growth of friendly feeling toward Omahti in other parla'of the state. There wnq u tlmo , ho said , when the retail merchants In portions of Nebraska would not buy of Omaha munufttcturors and jobbers , but the feeling of hostility hud largely dicd.out and now the people of the state generally are proud of Us metropolis and glitd of the progress and prosperity of Omaha. This is the sentiment that ought to generally prevail , because the bciiofita to nncruo from it nro mutual. It is the sentiment which the business men of this city liavo boon striving to cultivate , und it Is gratifying to It now that they Hnvo boon lurgoly successful. Omaha appreciates its dependence xipo'n the growth and prosperity of its sister cities und of the whole stuto und desires to foster the closest business relations with every part of the state All citi zens of Nebraska should sco the mutuality of interests involved in build ing up the nibtropolis of the state and strengthening its financial and commer cial power. It is manifestly wiser to do this than to contribute to the upbuilding of commercial centers outside of the to which could exert no influence in behalf of Nebraska interests and would drtiwf pom ruthm1 than increase our pros- purity. Properly considered , there can bu no rivalry between Omaha and any Nebraska city , and whatever there maybe bo in the way of emulation should bo entirely friendly. The people of this cjty heartily welcome evidences of giowth and prosperity throughout the state in nil departments of business. They have no fooling of jealousy or envy toward any other community. What ever makes for the advancement of Ne braska affords them gratification. This feeling , it is most pleasing to know , is being quite generally reciprocated by the state ut largo , and tharo is every assurance that in a short time there will bo no trace nnywhero of hostility to the commercial interests of Omaha , which are identical with those of the entire state and the growth of which must in evitably contribute to the general wel fare. THK UUl'i : 01 ? DAJIK UOnSKS. The air is full of rumo-s of deals .and concessions and compromises among the men who figure most prominently in connection with Iho democratic nomina tion for president , but the only thing that booms to bo clear is that Mr. Clove- land's supporters in the convention will bo far stronger numerically than those of any other candidate. Within the past few days the friends of the tninor candidates and dark horses have begun to hope for a turn of affairs that will leave an opening for their favorites , but this hope is based upon nothing but , the prospect that the majority may yield to the demands ot the minority nnd throw the ox-prosidont overboard. In that event there would bo a rush of minor candidates for the prlzo und the man hnvitur the strongest following among those not identified in any way with either Cleveland or Hill would undoubt edly bo chosen. Among the now can didates is Voorhoos. of Indiana , whoso friends have just sot on foot a boom that is attracting u great deal of attention in his own state. They say that lie can save Indiana if ho is nominated , and that ho could got the whole vote of his party In Now York. Tlio friends of Gorman are not idle moanwhllo , und Palmer , though a pronouncoJ Cleve land man , and therefore not available us u compromise candidate , is boinjj urged strongly by his bickers. Near the bottom tom of the list ia Boies of Iowa , who will have u very small number of demonstra tive and hard-working dologatos. Ono of the influences that will bo felt in Chicago is that of the Now York mugwumps , und the alternative which they offer will puzzle the delegates. The Eceniny Post , which is a fair 'repre sentative of the mugwump sentiment , warns the democrats that they cannot have the floating or Independent vote unless they nominate Cleveland. "If they wlsh , to drive this balance of power over to the republicans , " it adds , "they can find no moro ofl'ootlvo way to do so than by'rojoctlng the man who lifted the party outof the Slough of Despond , " and moro to the sumo purpose. Hero la the devil nnd the deep aou again. The independents will boat the ticket if Cleveland ia not on it , and Tammany will defeat it if ho ia. Those are the conditions that grvo hope to the minor candidates and the dark horses with booms yet unborn. Ills not surprising that they uro going right on with their won : rogardlods of the big Cleveland majority already assured. ALIIION W.

This ia in di rect violation of the law which requires railroads that huvo their terminals within the limits of ono county to bo assessed the sumo us any other real und porsouul property for local taxation by the precinct nsSSMirs. The question Is whether the city and county authorities nro going to submit to this imposture. Th6 Bolt Line VJa ( > l is computed to bo worth from 37,000,000 , to $8,000,001) ) .

NEW YOIIK , Juno 17. U. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review ot trade says ! The hot weather and hot politics together hnvo affected business ul many points , out there Is , nevertheless , Improvement both In actual trade nnd in prospects. Ono obvious cnuso Is the swift Improvement In tbo crop outlook. The iron output Juno 1 was 175,174 tons weekly , only 2.713 tons loss than May 1 , whllo unsold stocKs have decreased 20,437 tons in splto nf some increase at the south. Southern No. 1 li sold at $14.50 here nnd some Louigh companies nro cutting prices. Sales nro largo , the demand for structural shoot nnd bar is Improving , nnd even in rails the west still Muds n somewhat bolter tnar- kot. The demand for stool beams Is still affected by the lo * prices , Stf cents being noted. Np Improvement Is soon In copper nt 13" cents. London speculation has hoisted tin to 22 cents , but load is'weaker at $4.10. There is talk of u further ndvanco in coal , the combination requiring moro for uso. ItcpnrtR from Cltio * . Business is fairly nctivo nt Boston nnd the shoo trade excellent , though orders were chocked by western tloods. Leather is very Ilrm. Hubbor shoos are steady with orders for weeks ahead , rubber is Hrm and active nnd sales of wool nro 2,500,000 pounds with encouraging prospects. The trade in paints nnd glass Is satisfactory - factory in Philadelphia , In tobacco slightly Improved , In liquors and chemicals steady , and In oils nnd jewelry quiet , while sales of wool nro free , the market being Hrm. At Pittsburg the demand for llnlshed iron Is goo'J , the prospect of wage dlfllculllos stimulating orders. Hardware is very active and class unchanged. At Chicago the volume of business is In creasing in nil lines , receipts of oats show some iucroaso over last year , of cured moat n sixth , on hoes and cottlo a fifth , of Hour nnd rye two-lh'Irds , whllo of dressed beef ro- cnipts are double , of lard three times and of barley four times last year's. A decrease of a third Is seen In wheat uud wool and some decrease lu hldoj , chcoso and butter. At St. Louis business Is reasonably good and nt Kansas City fulrly satisfactory , with large receipts , The crop outlook is briahter tit Milwaukee nnd remarkably good nt Minneapolis with trade better than last year ; lumber is active , nnd the flour output tbo largest on record 214,000 barrels , against 133,000 last yoar. Oinaliii'8 Truclo Active. At Omaha Improvement Is seen In dry goods , shoes and hardware , and at Denver trade is very good. At Now Orleans supar Is quiet and steady , and money plenty with very little demand. Western receipts or wheat continue at tno ratn of 000,000 bushels daily nnd the exports nearly 400,000 , but the surplus to be carried over will doubtless roach 50,000,1)03. Botlor weather and decrease of only 17 per cent in tlio cotton acreage , according to the most reliable report , bavo caused a fall of live-sixteenths in the price With sales of 813,000 bags , receipts and exports being larger than last year.
