DIL GKOKQK L. MILLUR says in an in-

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

"To nominate n candidate from Now

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

WHEN Rov. Thomas Green of Iowa in

equilibrium in offering a prayer before
a domocratio convention need nol fear
that his nerve will ever forsake him before

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

hut would break immediately on niov-

In the papers about the beneficial effects
of Aycr's 1'ills , and persuaded my moth
er to let mo try them. With no great
faith in the result , she procured
nnd I began to use them , and soon
noticed an improvement. Encouraged
by this , I kept on till I took two boxes ,
