KKTAI/M77U.V.
/ . .
President Harrison has In effect recommended -
commended the adoption ol n policy of
retaliation upon Canada. In February
last the senate passed a resolution call
ing for information relative to reciproc
ity negotiations with Canada , and it Is
In response to this resolution that the
president suggests retaliation for the
persistent denial by tlio Canadian gov
ernment of the rights of American citi
zens , guaranteed by tho' treaty of Wash
ington , in connection with the naviga
tion of the canals of Canada. Tills at-
litudo of the president of course dissi
pates all hope of affecting a reciprocity
arrangement with our northern neigh
bor during the present administration ,
unless the Canadian government shall
concede our treaty rights.
It has been apparent 'slnco the ques
tion of reciprocity with Canada wtw
Hrst discussed , moro than a year ago ,
that the president was not in favor of
giving the matter any consideration
under existing conditions. When it
was proposed to open negotiations in
the early part of list you1 convenient
reasons wore found for postponing a con
ference , and when the time arranged
for holding It arrived this government
was not ready to enter upon negotia
tions. Recently two inoinbnrs of the
Canadian cabinet visited Washington
for the purpose of holding a conference
regarding the questions at issue between
the United States and Canada touching
transportation in bond , transportation
rates on the Wetland and St. Lawrence
canals , and tlio Atlantic tiahorios , This
also ondcd without result.
The impression obtained that the rea
son for those failures to roach negotia
tions was in the fact that the Canadian
representatives were unable to make
any propositions which this country
could seriously consider , but it now
seems obvious that the real reason was
the determination of President Harrison
o insist upon a full recognition by the
Canadian government of the treaty
rights of American citizen ? preliminary
to any negotiations looking to reciproc
ity. The in a tier of the discrimination
against our vessels in the canals of
Canada has been a source of complaint
for years. There can bo no reasonable
question that in this treaty obligatioiib
have been violated , to the great loss and
injury of American vessel interests. The
injustice of this discrimination is inton-
slued when tlio privtlogos enjoyed by
Canadian voss'els in our canals and by
the railroads doing business in the
United States are considered , it would
appear that the president lias become
profoundly impressed witu the necessity
for reform in this respect , and has con
cluded that tlio time has como for congress -
gross to take notice of this persistent
wrong to our people and to adopt a rad
ical policy for remedying it.
The intelligent judgment of the coun
try will approve this position of Presi
dent Harrison. The United States has
faithfully carried out every treaty obli
gation relating to Canada. Tlioro has
never boon a reasonable or just com
plaint from the Canadian government
or people regarding our conduct in this
respect. On the ether hand wo have
endured injustice , injury and insult for
years. The interests and rights of our
people ought to bo protected , and the
stand taken by the president in this
matter is another evidence of his deter
mination to see that they are protected
to the extent of his authority.

The republicans of the country are
not disposed to wait for the result of the
Chicago convention before beginning
the work of the campaign. In every
locality where they have clubs or organ
izations of any kind they have already
held meetings and the nominations
made at Minneapolis have in every in
stance been approved with enthusiasm.
There never has boon a time in the his
tory of the party when its members
wore moro thoroughly united or moro
oa rnestly desirous of winning than they
now are. Believing firmly that the ad
ministration of President Ilanison has
bnon beneficial to every legitimate in
terest ana conducive to the prosperity
of the country at largo , they are prepared -
pared to put forth every possible effort
to secure his ro-oloctlon.
There is no need of delay in boginlng
the active and practical worlc of the
campaign. It does not matter much
who is nominated at Chicjigo , for the
democratic party is unalterably commit
ted to a policy of opposition upon gen
eral principles to ovorytinug that is
represented by the candidacy of Presi
dent Harrison. Even if the darkest of
the democratic dark horses should bo
placed in nomination the battle would
bo fought upon the tariff Issue. The
democracy could not escape from this
Issue If It should try to do so , and the
republicans are prepared to moot it. The
platfOi-ms adopted by the state conven
tions of the democratic party this year
show very clearly that the tariff is to bo
the only real issue before the country
in the presidential con tost. Tlioro will
bo some flatulent generalities concerning
republican oxtrav.iginco , and an attack
upon the force bill is promised , out these
are matters introduced Tor the purpose
of multiplying ttio planks of the plat
form. This battle will bo fought entirely
upon the tarilT issue ,
The republican party is solidly united
in its approval of the policy of protec
tion and reciprocity. It emphatically
endorses the prosolit administration in
every particular. The plan of campaign
is distinctly outlined and there is no oc
casion for delay In setting in motion the
forces that 111 o to achieve another tri

should go steadily forward without - regard -

TllK DKilOCIUTIO COATW.VWOiV.
For Bomo time the battlo'of the demo
cratic factions has boon carried on at
long r.\ngo. Today , with the mooting
of the national convention , the fight will
begin at close quarters , and It promises
to bo intense , blttor and prolonged ,
The situation is perplexing. The
obvious fact In It is that it is Cleveland
against the flold , with ttio field unorgan
ized , This gives at ) apparent advantage
to the ox-prealdont , hut of how much
value it Is impossible to determine. The
claim of the supporters of Mr. Cleveland -
land that ho has a majority of the delegates -
gates is doubtless well founded , but this
will not nominate him , and the two-
thirds ruin will prevail. It will bo in
the power of his frlomu to change it ,
but they will not dare to do so. Such
an act would Insure hla overwhelming
defeat not only In Now York , but In
stales believed to bo a ifely democratic.
Can Cleveland secure the necessary
two-thirds ? This is the perplexing
question. Of course his friends contend
that having received a largo majority
on the first ballot there will bo acces
sions to his support. This Is by no moans
so certain as they profess to believe. On
the contrary it is rather probable that
ho will develop his full strength on the
first ballot , nnd if ho fall of success that
his vote will fall olT. If the men who
nro antagonizing hlra nro strong enough
to prevent his nomination on the first
ballot , and it appears now that they will
bo , there Is ro.vsou to bollovo that they
will remain hostile to the end. In other
wordd , Cleveland must win , if at all , on
the first ballot. As to the field of
possibilities the range for conjecture is
unlimited , it being promised that Hill la
Impossible. If the Now York factions
could agree upon a candidate it is possi
ble that Gorman would bo the man. It
is the understanding that ho Is not
objectionable to cither faction. Boles
Is in. a good position to become the
choice of a combination. Palmer has
bid for the Cleveland support if Cleveland -
land Is beaten , and it is by no moans
certain that this will bo to his advan
tage. Very liltlo consideration is being
given to the names of Gray , Pattison ,
Carlisle and Morrison.
Interest in the convention will not bo
confined wholly to the light over a can
didate. The action of the delegates ap
pointed by the May convention in Now
York is pretty euro to create some ex
citement , whether it lakes the form of a
protest or contest. Another matter that
will prooably seriously disturb the har
mony of the convention is the silver
question. It is intimated that some sort
of a straddle may bo agreed on in the
committee on resolutions , butthowever
this maybe n strenuous fight in the con
vention for a free silver plank is to bo
enacted. It is not likely that a ballot
will bo taken sooner than Thursday ,
and the convention will probably last
through the week.
SKI AS UV
Last week was a week of remarkable
activity in the jobblncr trade in Omaha.
It is safe to say that the history of that
trade in this city hardly furnishes a
parallel to it. The increased business
was duo in a measure to the presence of
a largo number of retail mdVclmnts from
ether parts of the state who had coma to
attend the exposition and the meeting of
the Nebraska Stuto Business Men's as
sociation. However , tlio local jobbers
do not attribute the inero-isod business
entirely to those causes. There has
boon u rapid recovery from the stagna
tion of the early spring months and
business in almost every branch has
shown decided improvement since the
1st of Juno.
There is a general agreement of opin
ion among the business men of this city
concerning the wholesome oflcct which
the popular approval of the Nebraska
Central enterprise will have upon the
future of Omaha. It is loss than a week
since the people voted by an ovnrwholra-
ing majority in favor of the proposition
presented by the Nebraska Central , and
yet It is already apparent in business
circles that the movement is destined to
do all that its promoters predicted for
the prosperity of this community. There
is not a foot of real estate
in Omaha today that can bo
bought at as low a figure as was
placed on it before the bonding proposi
tion was approved. There is not a share
of stock in any enterprise in this city
that can bo bought as cheaply as It could
have been a week ago. That the olToct
should so closely follow upon the heels
of the cause is int'ubitablo proof of the
wldoin of this measure. It cannot bo
doubted by any thinking man that
Omaha is entering upon an era of unex
ampled prosperity.
Tun military visitors whoso sojourn
in Omaha will como to un end today
have no reason to complain of their
treatment Iforo socially. They have
had the entree into much of our beet
society , have boon royally entertained
and liavo boon given in this respect the
most ample assurance of the distin
guished consideration of our people.
The attendance at the drills has not been
so largo as was expected , the high tom-
peraluro that has prevailed being the
principal reason for this. It is duo to
the military gentlemen to say that they
have us a whole conducted themselves
with propriety and their visit will long
bo n pleasant memory to many of our
pooplo.
THE Nebraska Dovolopmontcorapany ,
composed principally of Omaha capital
ists , promises to do a most important
work in connection with the exhibition
of the products of the state at the
Columbian exposition. Owing to the
inadequate appropriation made by the
last legislature for a display of the resources -
sources of Nebraska at the World's fair ,
auxiliary help of this kind is necessary
if the state Is not to bo loft in the back
ground , and tlio cll'orts of the develop
ment company should have tlio hourly
and generous support of the people.
"TllK democratic party , " says Henry
Wnttorson , ' 'wiuits a now deal and newman

caustic Kentuckian thinks that with five
members of Mr. Cleveland's old cabinet
working for him in regular machine
fashion , in the hope of securing a third
nomination for the man whoso election
to tlio presidency would probably bring
them into prominence again , is rather
lee suggestive of these methods and

HKNUY GEOKQR , who is atlondlng the
Chicago convention as a Cleveland
boomer , says that the nomination of the
ox-prosldont will moan that the demo
cratic party is in favor of free trado.
Many democrats , not foollnir quite sure
of their ground , deny that their cry of
tariff reform moans free trade , but that
is because they have not the courairo of
their convictions , "ijt means .nothing

IT is announced that a prominent feature -

The ether sldo of the Interesting question
was summed up in tbo following style by one
of Strioklor's friends : "AJr. V. O. Stnoklor
Is trying to kocp the citv of Omahn and the
people's independent party of the state from
disgrace by shutting out a lot of blood
suckers , who want to cot control of the
local arrangements for the national con
vention. There is Alfred falkuor , Ansoc E.
Bigolow nnd several others who want to got
important positions on tno committees where
they can blcoa somebody. Falknor was re
cently expelled from tbo Knights of Labor
for appropriating $1L that fell into
his hands to pay for u charter. Ho
represented to tno treasurer that the
charter had como C. O. D. and the treasurer
gave hlm.tho money to pay for It. Falknor
got the chatter from the nxprois olllco all
right nnd delivered it to the lodgo. A few
weeks later a bill for the charter arrived
from the bead treasurer showing that
the charter bad not como C. O. D. and had
not boon paid for.
"Mr. Falknor was accordingly tried and
found guilty of misappropriation of funds
and was expelled from the lodge. He Is ono

Weaver's Interests in the convention. Mr.

TIGICKT3 TO TllK OMAHA MEETING.

.Mr. V , O. Strluklor was soon today by a
reporter for Tin : BEB and asked concerning
n letter written by ono Elmer E. Thomas
of this city , nnd published in tbo local inde
pendent puocrs throughout iho state , in
which Mr. Thomas alatcd that the national
executive couimlttoo had entered into n
writlon agreement with iho local citizens'
committee , giving to the latter LI.UUJ seals In
the convention and reserving the remainder ,
numbering UiiOO , for Ibo dolcgnlcs und their
frionds.
"Yes , 1 have soon Iho loiter , " said Mr.
Strluklor. "It was published in the Blnlr
Republican , in iho Farmers * Alliance , in the
Nebraska Standard , und I presume in other
papers in iho stti'.o. I do not know wbnt
Air. Thomas' molives may have boon for
publishing tbo loiter , as the statements made
therein nro utterly and absolutely false. In
Ibo llrst place. , tno convention hall will seal
7,000 people , besides oxlra seals in the aisles
and on Ibo platform for probably , OJO moro.
Of tbli number theoxocutivo committee have
eivon lr > ( JO tickets instead of Ji.OOO as Mr.
Thomas stated to the local citizens coui
mlttoo to bo glvoa by them lo Ibo busi
ness mon of Omaha who donated Ibo money
to defray the expenses of the con von lion. 1
hold In my hand u Uator from Mr. Tau-
bonock in which bo says that after deduct
ing Iho 1,500 tickets , Ibo romalmlur , number
ing probably 7,500 , will bo divided among
Iho novoral slaloa according lo niprencnta-
tlon in tbo convention. Mr. Tauboneck fur
ther authorises mo lo state that this U the
ijrranuoniont of the national committee , So
it will bo soon thill instead of onub delegate
receiving throe-fourths of a ticket as stated
by Mr. Thomas they will rocolvo about live
tlckuls each.
No Hanger of It * Capture ,
"Mr , Thomas makes another charge In his
loiter that I llilnlc should bo resonled by
evury citizen of Ibo state of Nebraska , as it
is calculated to injure our atato In the estima
tion of the country at largo. After charging
Hull the national coininllico bud given nearly
ono-lmlf of Ibo seals lo republicans nnd
democrats , which as wo have scon Is utterly
untrue , ho uses tlio following language :
'Thoy ( meaning Ibo tickets ] may bo given
to tbo leiuhcr-lunt'od hoodlums of Omaha ,
who under Iho leadership of n Tobo Caslor
may frustrate our ends and turn Ibo conven
tion into a pandemonium , ' ; und calls upon
tbo Independent press of the slalo to bring
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
the matter to the nttontlon of the national
committee 'with that dcgrco of force which
may bo necessary and nsk It to rescind so un
fair anil perilous n contract.1 From the
nbnvo it would scorn that Mr. Thomas Is
fearful that wo nro to bo trcntod on the
4th ot .luly to the spectacle of seeing
the citizens of Omnhti rush in upon the con
vention nnd by foroo anil nrms tnko pos
session of U nnd turn it over to
the republicans nnd democrats. I want
to say" with nil the force 1 have that
suoh n thought Is unworthy ot any
citizen qf ttio slalo ot Nebraska nnd the pub
lication of such incendiary utterances
through tno public press cannot help but
injure the statu. The citizens of Nebraska ,
without regard to political afllllntlon , would
unanimously roacnt such things as Mr.
Thoma * suggests. The effect of this letter
will bo to keep thousands of people from
coming to Omaha. It was called to my at
tention this morning that a party of IHtv
from the llttlo town of Bancroft who ex
pected to como to Omnhn decided after readIng -
Ing Mr. Thomas'latter not to como. I trust
that the press of the state , regardless of pol
itics , wtll corrout the erroneous Impressions
which this letter mav have created , nnd I
feel sure that I nm safe In making the pre
diction that Omaha will hospitably entertain
nil who como to tha convention and that an
opportunity will bo afforded to nil to attend
otio or moro of IU sessions.
"Mr. Thomas further stated thntonly two
Independents were appointed upon the citi
zens' committee , which Is equally fnlso , ns
there nro thron independents who nro known
all ever the state appointed upon that com
mittee from South Omaha nlono , nnd In
addition lo the citizens' committee n special
rcccplton commlttco of 100. consisting
exclusively o ! independents , selected
by . ! . V. Wolfe , S. Edwin Thorton ,
( Jhurlos H. Pirilo , J. M. Klnnoy ,
H , Cohen , J , M. Taylor , Lewis J. Him and
others , will have exclusive charge of the re
ception nnd entertainment ot tbo delegates
lo the convention. Fitly of this commlttco
have boon chosen from the stuto nt largo ,
nnd 1 challenge thai ono single man whoso
immo appears on thai committee bo pointed
out who Is not known us n rook ribbed inde
pendent. So .thntlt will be seen that \vhllo
republican nnd domoctntlc business mon ot
Omaha hnvo contributed the money to de
fray the expenses ot the convention the ro-
caption nnd entertainment of the uologatos Is
exclusively In the hands of iho people's
