FOUH years ngo the bohool population of South Omaha was 300 and the nura- bor of teachers employed was four. The Magio City today has 2,700 school chil dren and thirty teachers. These are BUggostlvo figures. DIL GKOKQK L. MILLUR says in an in- lorvlow published in Tins BKE : "In the roar of the battle more men will not count. ' ' Democrats dislike to compare Cleveland and Stevenson with such men as Harrison and Reid. IT 18 contemplated that every class of citizens participate in the greatest cele bration of the Fourth Omaha has ever known , it may bo old-fushioncd and time-worn , but as General Brooke says tlio old-fashioned celebration is the best. Dn. SPAULUINQ in his High school address was rather severe on his profes sional brethren , when ho said "tho av erage doctor doesn't know the difference between the cerebellum and the Sierra Novadn. " The medical society should investigate. WATTUHSON'S phrases , "We are between twoon the devil mid tlio deep sea" and "To nominate n candidate from Now York is to walk through the slaughter house to the open grave" will haunt him a great deal during the campaign , but ho will bo proud of thorn after election. THE ratification mooting hold in Now York City Tuesday night was ono of the most brilliant openlngsof the campaign. The address of Governor MoKlnloy was In his ablest voln and every sentence was punctuated with applause. The en thusiasm of that mooting was that of a party confident of victory. A LINCOLN paper has boon sued by ox-Mayor Graham of that city for pub lishing a Btutomonl to the olTuoftliat the mayor had accepted money from gam blers during liis term of olllco. The $20- 000 donmmlpd inivy bo a fair motsuro of damages , but what is to bo Uonu in behalf - half of the rulnod reputations of the gamblers ? ' THKIIU worn 312 sturdy voters against the free trade plunk in the democratic platform and 0H ( for it. The nogatlvo votes were almost wholly protectionist votes , coming from the great st-itos o Pennsylvania , Now Jersey , Indiana California , Connecticut , Virginia and Wisconsin. This indicates how the party was divided on the t'irlff. The democratic party cannot carry Now Jor- say and Connecticut on a free trade plat , form. Is n hotter ronson and a greater necessity for profuse and arllsliu house decoration the coining Fourth than ever before in the history of Omaha. The people's convention will bo called to order on the Fourth ; there are 1,77J ( delegates entitled to boats in it , and the grand culobrntton by citizens will call for an unlimited display of Hags and bunting , The principal btruots , and especially all public buildings , should bo nblnzu with the national colore. ' .1 DtriDKD HQUSK. Notwithstanding that the democracy enters upon this campaign loudly pro claiming thai Inn InrifT is tha issue upon which tlio battle botwocn the two great parties Is to bo fought , it Is impossible to conceal the fact that the democratic party Is Itself divided upon this very Issuo. Tlio vigorous antagonism at Chicago bolwoon these who favored and those who opposed the tariff plank as It. appeared in the majority report of the committee on resolutions very plainly exhibited the difference of opinion prevailing - vailing in the party as to the wisdom of utterly repudiating the protective idea. As the dotnocratlc tariff plank now stands it commits the party to a policy that harmonizes with the vidws of free traders and commands tliolr unqualified approval , but all who nro familiar with the notion of the convention upon this point nro nwnro that It was not adopted without a spirited contest Therefore it cannot bo taken as an expression of the sentiments and convictions of the democratic party in any such sense as the ronubllcan tariff plank Is an expres sion of i ho views of these who constitute that party. On onosldo there Is perfect agreement , upon n tarltT policy now In force and repeatedly approved by the voter ? at thn polls ; on the other sldo there Is division and half-hoartcdnoss concerning the subject , and if it were not absolutely necessary for the democrats - crats to resort to the tariff as the only issue available a majority of them would undoubtedly oppose the position that was taken at Chicago.- It is interesting to unto how violently the democratic platform assails the ro- publ'can tariff position , whllo u very largo number of the Chicago delegates are on record in opposition to the tariff plank there adopted. It will require a great deal of earnest missionary work to inako the dotnocratlc party a unit in opposition to the present protective policy , to say nothing of tlio tremendous efforts that will htivo to bo made for the conversion of republicans. It is evident that the undertaking to which the de mocracy has addressed itself is ono of appalling proportions. Political proso- lytlng , llko charity , begins at homo. Considering all the burdens It is obliged lo carry it is rather sad to see the uomocracy enter the campaign so pitifully handicapped by Internal di visions. It is Impossible to believe that intelli gent voters who have no views on this subject , assuming that there can bo any nuch , will bo convinced Unit a party that cannot "get together" on a fixed and definite policy concerning the tariff is lit to bo entrusted with power to meddle with the nvittor. They will prefer to lot well enough alone. OKTTINt ) ALAttMKD. Our northern neighbors appear to bo omowhat alarmed at the suggestion of .ho president that tho.timobas como vhcn the United Slates should adopt retaliatory measures unless the Cana dian government abandons its discrim- ivulon against American vessels in the canals of Canada. Dispatches re- ) ort uneasiness In business circles , par ticularly among railroad olllcinls whoso compimlos on joy privileges of great value allowed thorn by tlio United States and which they would bo de prived of in case of retaliation. Of course members of the Dominion gov ernment deny that there is any ground 'or the ch'argo of discrimination , assort ing that our vessels nro treated on equal terms with these of Canada in the canals of the Dominion , but President Harrison is not in the habit of making statements to congress that ho cannot verify , and it is a familiar fact that complaints of discrimination have been made to ourgovornmont for years. The attention of the Dominion gov ernment has boon more than once called to these complaints , but they have never received any serious consideration , and this toleration of an injustice which violates treaty obligations has gene on so long that the Canadian govern in out sdoms to have concluded that there was no necessity for concerning itself about the matter. The present administra tion , however , is looking after the inter ests and rights of American citizens , and it will insist upon protecting them in this matter to the full extent of its authority. A resolution has boon intro duced in the senate relating to the sub ject brought to the attention of congress by the recent communication of the prosldont , and while it is hardly wrob- nblo that any action will bo taken at the present * session , if tlio Canadian government does not show bolwoon now and next December a disposition to remedy the wrong complained of it must bo prepared lo accept the cense quences. The adoption of rot illation Is not to bo dnqirod , but if nothing else will secure the fair and just treat monl of our citizens the country will ap prove itr _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ AND T1IK ISOLDIKIIS. The union , soldiers of the country have no reason to fool friendly toward Grover Cleveland. Ooo of Iho members of Iho Now York delegation in the Chi- ongo convention said that the nornina- lion of Cleveland would tiliennto from the domocratio parly in ihal state 25,000 veterans , In every northern state there are old soldiers whoso political allillu- llon IH with the democracy who will not vote for the man who persistently vetoed pension measures anil did all ho could to bring the pension syslom of the country into disrepute. Thcho old soldiers cannot forgot the efforts of Grover Cleveland to deprive them of the just bounty of the govern ment and lo create a sentiment in the country hojltlo lo Iho granting of pen sions. They romomiior Iho scores of bills disapproved by him , making his administration memorable In the his tory of the country for Iho numbnr of Us voices , and Ihoy undoiyland the real motive that prompted this action. Mr. Cleveland never had any ronl sympathy with Iho appeal of Iho union soldlora lo Ihocounlryto aliost its gratitude" for the services they had rendered by malting - ing jut.1 provision for these umiblo to provide for themselves nrd for their widows iinO orphans. Ho was never a friend of the pension system and his hostility to it increased under the Inlluonce of the opposition in thai suction of Iho country where Iho number , of union volm-uns is not largo , and the old soldiers Irrevocably devoted to the domocrntlo party have no claim upon the bounty of the government which they fought to overthrow. It was not In tha Interest of justice or ol economy Ihal Grover Cleveland1 nr- rayed himself ng.Unat the pension policy of the republican party and lo the extent of his opportunities and his authority sought to discredit thai policy , bill as a bid for Iho favor of I'ao democratic party of the south. There Is lltllo roiipon lo doubt that liad ho possessed Iho power not n vestige of iho pension system would have remained at the close of his ndml nislrallon. There tire living a million of union volorans , and ll is safe to say Ihnt very few of them will vole lo again plnco Mr. Cleveland in _ Iho presidential office. If Ihoro bo any among thorn who think Unit the government should not care for the men who preserved It , thnl it is not the duty of the nation to provide for its defenders and ll Is possible there are some such they will doubtless vole for Iho domo- crnllo candidate. Bill all who believe Unit a grateful people should manifest tltolr gratitude by making generous provision for the men whose loyally and patriotism and courage saved Iho union and preserved her republican Inslllu- tlons , who believe thai such devotion nn < I sacrifice is entitled lo the reward which a great and wealthy people can afford to bestow , will rust Iholr votes and exert tholr influence for the repub lican candidate , who was himself an able and bravo soldier , a'nd whoso sym pathies have ever boon with the just claims of the union veterans to the gen erous care of the country. As botwcon Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleve land , no old soldier who has nl hoarl the welfare of himself and Ills deserving comrades should hesitate n moment in making choice. C7.0SB OF TIIK SGHOOL YK.IK. The school year of Iho public schools of Omaha has como to an end anil the 300 lonchora and 15,000 children who for the past ton months have boon pur suing tholr arduous tasks will enjoy a period of rest and recuperation. The summer vncalion is a welcome period to all of them , for to botli Icnchcrs and pupils school duties and school lifo got to bo tiresome , nnd there is a fooling of relief In being released from its daily exactions that Is exhilarating. For the next two months rigid rules of dis cipline will bo laid aside , there will bo no urgent necessity for taking note of lime , and educator and scholar will bo invigorated by the tonic of freedom. It is to bo hoped thai all will tally enjoy it , The occasion is opportune for saying thai no city in the country has a more faithful and conscientious body of teachers - ors Ihnn Omahn. The evidence of this is found in the high standing of the schools of this oily , which rank with the very best in the country. It is a grati fying fact that a largo proportion of Iho public school teachers of Omaha vo- ooivcd their education bore , aim It is for Ibis reason that they are peculiarly /calous and loyal in Ihoir dovolion lo Iho Interests and welfare of the schools. They nvo actuated by a local prldo and patriotism which it would bo difficult to Instil Into toauhara brought from else where. The people of Omaha are justly proud of tholr public schools and are prepared to support In the future as in thp past every wise and proper policy for elevating their standard and increas ing Iholr usefulness. Tholr fame is widely oxtcndod , and no effort should bo spared by those having them in charge lo inalnlaln and increase it. THE BEE trusts that Iho vacation will bo a period of pleasure and profit to teachers and pupils' , propa ; ing ull of thorn to return to work .in the autumn with renewed vigor and interest. S AND UUSINKSiS. There appears to be much loss appre hension among business men at p resent than is usually foil at the opening of a presidential campaign. The Now York Commercial JJnUctin , a journal devoted lo business mutters and rollcctinjr Iho views of thousands engaged in commer cial enterprises , spoaka of the out look In this respect as being very encouraging , though the ac tion of the Chicago convention was yet unknown when the utterance to which wo refer was published , It says that Iho republicans nominated candidalos and adopted a platform that "givo litllo oc casion for fears of unsound financial legislation or other ruUicnl nnd disturb ing measures , " and this view is ono that prevails extensively in business circles throughout the country. Tins fooling of confidence lhat busi ness will not bo greatly disturbed by the great batllo for Iho presidency will in itself do a gront deal to prevent that re sult. Manufacturers , merchants and tradesmen of all kinds will exert n mutual influence upon ono another thai will tend to kooo business going forward steadily at the present even pace. It scorns to bo generally admitted by all fcavo these who are engaged In Iho in dustry of manufacturing campaign ma terial that the country Is prosperous nnd ihal anything which would disturb tlio existing stale of affairs would bo a misfortune. Even men who are not in any sense partisans do not Itositato to say that they are pleased with iho pros- enl administration because it has buon wiboly directed with Iho vlow of pro- moling Iho interests of business and not prostituted to partisan ends , The whole country Is lo bo congrnlu- lalcd upon this wldnly prevalent feeling of conlldunco and contentment. The political contest now beginning 1s likely to bo spirited , but there is a Bottled be lief in commercial circles that the ex isting tranquilty ! nnd prosperity of the country is to bo perpetuated by means of a continuance ) in power of the party through whoso agency this gratifying state of alTalra has boon brought about. Only by assuming that such a belief prevails can the present feeling of BO- curity und confidence bo accounted for , as Iho measures of public policy proposed - posed by Iho democracy nro radically opposed lo these of the party now in control of iho government , This sooius to mean Ihut tlio men who chiefly Inllu- once the great currents of business in this country have strong faith Unit popular approval of the measures and policies of this ndmlnlstrallgjj jrill bo shown at Iho polls In November.

A pronchor who- can maintain his equilibrium in offering a prayer before a domocratio convention need nol fear that his nerve will ever forsake him before fore any other assemblage. LAST April Dr. George L. Mlllor made the following- written doelarallon In a local paper : "A few weeks ago , In an inlorviow Ihal was nol given lo Iho country , I predicted that Mr. Cleveland was out of Iho race for the presidency , and , also , that if ho should be nominated ever the head of Governor Hill and the regular Now York delegation his defeat - feat would bo inevitable.

In vlow of these facts , and moved by these convictions , the News unhesitatingly elects to sustain the people and the industries of the section to which it has been so long wedded , and refuses to bo'tray those interests by supporting Grover Cleveland for the presidency , thus becoming a party to a finan cial conspiracy iliu culmination of which would involve certain and ruinous disaster to all who are concerned in silver mining , and would as surely prove calamitous to the producing population of the United Siutos.
