Hum wo were January 1.
TIIK message of Mayor Bcinls calling
UDOii the council to take stops for the
proper observnnco of Indopotidonco day
on the part of the city and its olllclnls is
timely ami to the point.
IK TIIK battle of 18)2 ! ) is to bo fought
with the sitnio lenders as 1883 tlio repub
lican party will cheerfully take up the
pleasant duty of licldu ? the democrats
niruln with the saino energy as before
nnd with much moro enthusiasm and
confidence.
AMERICANS who sneer ut slow Euro
pean methods will feel humiliated when
they learn that mull matter will soon bo
despatched by pneumatic tnbofrom Ber
lin to Paris , a distance of 600 miles , in
thirty-five minutes. Now , why cannot
wo have such a system ?
TIIK news which comes from Chicago
that those aneiont foes , the Saraosots
nnd the .Tauksonians , are ready and will
ing to bury the Iritchot is received with
bland smiles by all those who are ac
quainted with the peauo-loving and
charitable instincts of thcso Young-
Mon's-Christian-Association clubs.
THE democratic party does not bo-
llovo that men iu nubile life , mon who
nro paid by the poqplo to attend to the
people's business , ought to devote their
time to partisan politics. That is tlio
reason why there are only nine gov
ernors , seven United States senators nnd
Bcoros of congressmen and other demo
cratic olllcoholdors at the Chicago con-
voiition.
THE citi/.ons of Omaha have no concern -
corn with the squabble in the indepen
dent camp over the reception of delegates -
gates to the people's party convention.
But as a matter of local pride wo should
nndoavor to raise the necessary funds
i'or getting the Coliseum building in
condition to accommodate tho' conven
tion nnd help to provide accommoda
tions for the entertainment of the
thousands who will bo in Omaha on
July 4.
TIIK delegates from the silver states
in the Chicago convention appear to
know Senator Gorman even bettor than
lua eastern backers do. In the silver
conference the states specially intor-
ssted in free coinage pledged forty-two
votes to the senator from Maryland , and
this action was based upon the most
positive assurances that Senator Gor
man was not unfriendly to the free sil
ver scheme. But the free silver men
have carried their pigs to the wrong
market.
GKKAT bodies move filowiy. By the
way the Board of Public Works and
Board of Education are moving in dilly
dallying with public improvements wo
should judge that they are the greatest
bodies on earth. The Board of Public
Works is still wrangling over the speci
fications for paving and the Board of
Education is beginning to consider the
propriety of grading scihoolhouso sited
upon wliinh it is proposed to erect largo
buildings that wore to have boon occu
pied by the middle of'September.
WK UHHKKF17LLY submit to the ropri-
ninnd of our ovorwobbllngcontomporary
us reirards the national drill. It was n
Htunondotis farce and a fraud upon the
community. Our. citizens subscribed
very liberally , bollovlng that the affair
would bo n national gathering of at
least O.OUO Boldloru , instead of a few
companies mustering altogether losa
than 1,000 men , including our own Ne
braska guards. Under the circum
stances the parlies who contributed
toward the national drill have a right to
resent the imposture. It was a ll//.lo
and wo are bold enough to so pro
nounce it.
OMAHA must sooner or inter grapple
with the smoke nuisance. Nearly all
of the largo buildings omit volumes of
toot which will soon bouomo unbearable.
During the summer season , at least , the
Binuko nuiuanco should bo abated by
strict regulations that will prohibit the
usa'of soft coal slug. If the owners of
nil largo buildings , the motor and cable
company and factories in the business
portion of the city woru required to use
tuithrnclto or the vor.v boat bituminous
coal between Juno and October the
Binoko nuUnnco would bo done away
with during the bmisou when It in most
unwholuiouio and disagreeable.
7 nr.lA AND HIS PLATFORM.
Tha rnnomlnntion of Congressman
William J. Bryan by the democrats of
the First Nebraska district was simply
n realization of the expected. Mr.
Bryan had laid his wires to secure an
endorsement with cnro and skill. Ho
has never lost an opportunity to attract
popular attention. No newspaper Inter
viewer has over gone to him in vnln for
an oppression of his views. Ilo is no tat
nil modest nbout having his praises
sung , nnd ho lias a cotorlo of admirers
who nro ongor to trumpet them on every
occasion. In this way.Mr. Bryan has
managed most successfully to "kcpp
himself before the pooplo" and to dis
may opposition. It is a well known fact ,
however , that Uryun docs not enjoy the
confidence of all the democrats of the
First district , nnd n ronomlnatlon is by
no moans equivalent to a rc-alection this
year.
year.Mr. . Bryan's congressional record has
boon rather pyrolechnictxl than practi
cal. His fame rests upon ono carefully
prepared speech , the platitudes nnd
sophistries of which were so mercilessly
riddled by Congressman Dollivor of
Iowa that little remained of the effort
worthy of attention. In the way of
practical legislation Mr. Bryan is the
author of two or throe free trade meas
ures , ono of which if ii became a law
would rosulc in striking down a crow
ing Nebraska industry , while ho has
plainly demonstrated that ho is heartily
.In la'vor of tlio policy of free trado. Ilo
was ono of the speakers sent to Khodo
Island to preach that policy , which tlio
pcoplo of that state repudiated by n
handsome majority. Mr. Bryan ar
rayed himself in congress with the sup
porters of the free and unlimited coinage -
ago of silver , hut ho failed to commit
the democratic party of Nebraska to
that policy , though ho made a vigorous
ofTort in the state convention to do so.
The platform of the convention which
nominated Mr. Bry in , nnd which it is
presumed was inspired if not written by
him , la in the main fashioned nftcr the
usual democratic pattern. As to silver ,
it repeats the frequently refuted charge
that the silver legislation of 1873 was
clandestinely accomplished and do-
mnnds the restoration of free coinag *
"when it can bo dcstermined whether
the former ratio between gold and sil
ver is just , and if need bo make a fair
readjustment of the ratio between
thorn.l There can bo no rational ob
jection to this , but it is not what the
free silver men with whom Mr. Bryan
voted iu congress want. They do not de
sire a readjustment of the ratio on the
basis of the relative mnrkot value of gold
and silver , which at present is nbout " 3
to 1 , because that would dispose of free
coinage. What they demand is that
the government shall coin into dollars
all the silver olTorod at the mints at the
old ratio , the profits to go into the
pockets of the silver producers.
This in the policy which Mr. Bryan
supported by his vote in congress and to
which he tried hard to commit his party
in Nobrnskn. Does ho intend to bo un
derstood as having repudiated his past
course regarding silver ? Is this "hon
est" and "modest" representative trim
ming in view of the probability thot the
democratic national convention will
nominate an antl-frco silver candidate
and either omit all reference to the
silver question from the platform or dis
pose of it by a meaningless straddle ?
Mr. Bryan was elected to congress in
1800 for the same reason that n great
many other democrats were successful
in republican districts throughout , the
country. Conditions have materially
changed since then , and it is highly
probable that the First district of Ne
braska will bu represented in the next
congress by a republican.

Prof. Melbourne , the rainmaker ,
seems to have found plenty of credulous
people in eastern Colorado. Ho has
jusl entered into a contract at Holyoke
to water eight counties during the pres
ent week. If ho gives n good general
ralnf.tll over 85 par cent of the territory
specified ho is to receive $2,030.
If this professor is an export in the
science of probabilities the business in
which ho is engaged ought to bo profit
able. Even if ho proceeds upon the
theory of the common gambler , which
assumes that a penny tossed aloft from
a wanton hand will show head ? ns often
us tails , ho is still in the way of making
money as long as ho can make con
tracts. If ho can make S2,000 by the
showers of this week in the territory in
which ho is working ho can nll'ord to
encounter the most parching' drouths
for several weeks succeeding. Wo
rather admire tlio nerve of this rain
maker. Ho may lese all the money that
is involved in his cast of the die this
week , but ho knows that It will rain
somewhere sooner or later , and if ho
happens to bo at the right place nt the
right time ho will make moro tbun
enough to covnr all losses sustained in
places whore the rain failed to mator-
iulizo. The profojsor has the advan
tage of the rain who plays common
games of chance. The ordinary gum-
blur loses ns much when the cards go
against him as he wins whan they uro
in his favor. Tills rninmnkor puts up
nothing but his lime. If ho wins ho
gets a good pot of inonoy , but if ho loses
ho simply guts nothing nna is out of
pocket only a littlo. At this dUtanco it
looks as if rainm-.iIcing in certain credu
lous localities might bo a good business.
CiiKllll.lTK TIIK VOVHT11.
Omaha should celebrate the 'anniver
sary of American independence in n becoming -
coming nv.iiuior. Arrangements for this
celebration should bo of a magnitude
nnd character to make the day memora
ble not only to our own citizens , but to
the vast concourse of people that will
congregate in Omaha from our own nnd
neighboring states.
Omaha has not had a roilly imposing
Fourth of July celebration since No-
brnsKn uamo into the union. In tills
tOOth year of the discovery of America
It Is most fitting that the anniversary of
the birth of the republic should bo
made n popular holiday.
No political blgnlllciuieo uhould bo at
tached to the demonstration. The
American people , regardless of creed ,
politics or BOX , are patriotic , nnd on the
Fourth of July of all other days Ameri
can patriotism should bo glvou full play.
Not only should the city bo gaily deco
rated with the national colors , but every
clvlo nnd military socloty should take
part In n grand procession with suitable
banners nnd emblems.
The city council nnd the county com
missioners .should join hands with General -
oral Brooke and the federal authorities
In making the coming Fourth n gnla
day. The Board of Trndo , the Real
Estate Exchange , the fraternal socie
ties nnd labor uniona should all net in
concort. The railroads have already
nnnojncod half rates to Omaha for the
Fourth nnd thousands upon thousands
will nvhll thomsulvosof the opportunity ,
provided that Omaha takes the Initia
tive to make the celebration attractive.
No time Is to bo lost. Every hour from
now until the Fourth should bo directed
toward perfecting the nrrnngomonts for
the grandest nnd most "impressive colo-
bralion that has ever taken place in the
west.
T1W TIN I'LATK IXUUSTItr.
Tlio way in which the democrats per
sistently distort and misrepresent the
facts regarding the growth of the tin
industry in the United States under the
present duty wns very thoroughly ex
posed In the house of representatives n
few days ago by Mr. Dalzoll of Pennsyl
vania. It is not the first time that the
falsity of democratic statements on this
subject has been shown up , but the
completeness of this last , exposure
makes It worthy of wide circulation.
Mr. Dalzoll showed that the first re
sult of the present law has boon to decrease -
crease importations. There Is dlroot
evidence of this In the records of the
custom houses , and there Is ether evidence
donco In the wall that comes ncro33 the
ocean regarding the depression of the
tin industry in Great Britain and the
fact that it is leaving that country and
coming to this. The statistics of the
Treasury department and the evidence
from abroad converge to the same
point , that the effect of the law of 1890
has boon to dccroaso Importation.
Another offoot claimed for the law Is
that it has lowered the price of tin plato
in the market to the foreigner , and it
hns not Increased the price of tin plato
to tho'American consumer. This was
shown by an abundant citation of mar
ket quotations both in Liverpool and in
the leading markets of this country.
But the most important effect of the act
hns beet1 to establish n now industry ,
which has grown with a vigor unpre
cedented oven among American in
dustries. Returns of the growth of tin
and torno plato manufacture in the
United States have boon obtainad by an
ollicial of the Treasury department spe
cially assigned to this duty. Those re
turns , amply verified , show that during
the first quarter of the current fiscal
year , ending September 30,1891 , five concerns -
corns had entered upon the manufacture
of tin and torno plato. During the next
quarter the number of firms had in
creased to cloven , and the production of
tin plates had grown moro than 41 per
cent and of torno plntos moro thnn 77
per cent. In the third quarter , ending
March 31 , 1892 , nineteen firms were engaged -
gaged in the manufacture of tin nnd
torno plates , nnd of tin plato the pro
duction had increased moro than GOO
per cent ever that of the first quarter.
It would seem that to intelligent mid
practical mon those figures would carry
a conclusive argument as to the 'good
effects of the now law in establishing
nnd stimulating the growth of the tin in
dustry in the United States , nnd In view
of what has been accomplished in so
short r. time- there ought to bo no
reasonable doubt regarding the future
progress of this important industry if
the moderate protection which the pres
ent duty gives it is not withdrawn.
There is abundant export foreign testi
mony to the effect that there are no
difficulties in the Tray of the success of
this industry hero which cannot easily
bo overcome , nnd the confidence of the
foreign manufacturers in this being BO is
shown in their deposition to invest
capital in the industry. The democratic
throat to repeal the duty is the ono
great obstacle to a moro rapid growth
of the tin industry , and if this shall Do
removed by republican success in the
elections of this year , the increase of
this industry in the future will greatly
exceed what has been achieved in the
past.
IT MAY bo interesting to Mr. Walker
of Beatrice to know that an eastern con
temporary has gone to the trouble of
compiling a history of conventions of all
parties and to show that in n majority
of cases tlio man who bogs leave to present -
sent a gavel has boon the cause of much
discomfort. It is not stated whether the
discomfort has boon to the parties to
whom the gavel was presented or to the
multitude that was bored by hearing the
presentation oratory. In Mr. Walker's
instance the diecomfort'has boon multi
farious and wo shall not bo surprised if
a claim for conscauentiul damages shall
bo laid nt Mr. Walker's door by the
squatter who possessed himself of the
first homestead in America and had
borne of the cord wood on his farm
specially seasoned for the qaval that Is
predestined to bo in the hands of the
chairman of the people's parly conven
tion ut Omaha July , A. D. 1892.
THIS is the closing day of the indus

Itullnn Territory ( ilnclc Itntpn llmlucril by
tlui Itoek Inland.
The Ilocic Island has reduced the rnto on
llvo stock from Indian Territory points to
South Omaha $12.50 per car. Tno now rate
wont Into effect Sunday.
This lot of news is hailed with Joy by
the South Omaha pnokors nnd stooltmon.
It places South Omaha on nearly nn equal
footing wlh Kansas City. The roads which
ponetrnto the great cattle country of the
southwest have discriminated in the past
ncalnst Omaha in favor of Ivunsns City , nnd
the city on the Kn.v has profited greatly by
reason thereof , much to the detriment of
Omaha.
In discussing the reduction of the tariff
Manager Babcock ot the Union stock yards
said : "Wo have noon untiring in our
efforts to secure this reduction , nnd now that
tbo Hock Island has tukon the initiative wo
fool confident thnt the ether roads will
follow and moot the rnto niado bv thnt com
pany. It Is but n stepping stone to what
will follow. The making of this rate will
prove beneficial to South Omaha's mnrkot
nnd the good results will bo foil by nil. "
The Uock Island road is completed into the
interior of the Indian IVrrltory ntU is being
extended south into Toxns , where it will tap
a largo portion of the boat cattto country in
the world.
The granting of the new rnto by the Uock
Island is especially gratifying to the truftlo
managers of the packing ostDblishmontswho
have labored Industriously to secure It. The
packers in the past huvo been comncllod to
go to Kansas City to purchase Texas cattle
for killing purposes , nnd then ship them to
bouth Omaha. Uudor the now order of
things they will bo enabled to nurchaso di
rect from Texas rangers nnd ship directly to
the Omaha yards.
