ANOTIIHU rollgioua impostor who piuctluos upon the credulity and conll- ilcnc'o of innoconi wcmou hits turned up In Michigan.

Tliero bus boon too much of this sort of thing of lute. run rflfcKWMTmv or TIIKFOVIITII. The jroposal that Omaha shall colt- brato the coming anniversary of the declaration of Independence In a way worthy ol the day has taken form nnd there la now most favorable promise that the Fourth of July will bo observed in this city with a degree of popular in terest and enthusiasm never before wit nessed in this section. The action of the Board of Trade has given a practi cal atari to the movement which now needs only the active support of the people ple to insure Us success. There can bo no doubt that that support will bo given. The sentiment of the community , so fur as it has been expressed , Is most de cidedly In favor of the proposition to make the commemoration of the most Important event in American history memorable In the experience of the people ple of this city und state , and this fooling will grow In strength und fervor ns the natal day of the republic approaches. The coming Fourth of July will bo the 110th nnnlvorsury of the declaration of independence. This is the year also in which occurs the -lOOth anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. There is no necessary connection between - tweon the two events , but It Is natural to associate them , and each makes its own peculiar demand upon the patriot ism of the American people. The pres ent year , more perhaps than any that has preceded It , Invites the people of this republic to a serious contemplation of the wonderful results that huvo boon achieved in this part of the world In the cause of popular freedom und for the Im provement and elevation of humanity. The discovery of America was the beginning - ginning of an epoch in the history of mankind , the magnificent fruitions of which the wisest philosopher of that time could not have conceived. The declaration of Independence was nn assertion of the rights of the people ugainst the assumptions of ngos of tyranny , the influence of which has been felt throughout the world and will con tinue to be effective until all the nations of the earth huvo udoptcd the principles of popular government. Every patriotic consideration demands such a cele bration of the coining Fourth of July as will bo memorable in our history , and there are special reasons why Omaha should make an axtraotainary olTort to properly commemorate that anniversary. It is evident that the popular sentiment is favorable to this view , and this bolng the ease a great celebration may bo re garded as assured. 1'oL.in KX Moro than a year ago Engineer Rob ert E. Peary , accompanied by his wife und u small band of stout-hoar ted as sociates , sailed from Now York in a whaling steamer for Greenland. The object of the expedition was to investi gate the geological , zoological ' and meteorological conditions of that mysterious - torious region , and also to discover , if possible , whether Greenland is an island of a continent stretching northward to the polo. The party reached McCormick - mick bay , on the southern coast of Greenland , in July of last year , and since thut time their whereabouts have been unknown. The civilised world has learned nothing of them. Tomorrow an expedition will sail , the object of which is to find the Peary party if they bo alive , and to relieve or rescue them. The preparations for this expedition have boon in progress for some time , and its equipment for the perilous t-isk will bo as complete as human juagmont and foresight could muko It. It will bo under the command of P--of. Hoilprin of the Philadelphia phia Academy of Natural Sciences , under the auspices of which the Poary expedition was organized , anu the party will consist mainly of young men se lected with reference to their ability to oncluro the hardships they will have to oncountor. The commander Is not now to tusks of this kind , having led several expeditions to a successful conclusion. As to the chances of success , there is not much probability that the Peary party will bo found alivo. The fact that no tidings of them huvo boon received for a year is discouraging to the hope thut any of them are living , and it is tno opinion 01 persons oxpcrionoou in polar explorations that the explorers will never return alive to their native land. The fact thut a woman , the young wife of Englneav Peary , is ono of the party makes the matter peculiarly in teresting und pathetic. The chances uro thut it will bo found thut another tragic chapter- has boon added to the history of polar expedi tions , and if so the question will again suggest itbolf whether the results of those explorations compensate for the baoridcos they involve. Has the knowl edge acquired regarding the icebound regions of the rotnoto north been a suf ficient return for the lives it has cost'r It is certainly questionable , but what ever the popular opinion In the mutter doubtless the restless scientific spirlT will continue to organize polar expedi tions and tlio supply of adventurous and stout-hearted men .will always bo suf ficient to meet the demand. The scien tific world ut least will regard with. In terest the expedition which sails tomor row. A If Ol'KKAriC l' The project of giving Omaha njxt November a week of legitimate oporu , which has been presented to the atten tion of our citizens by Miss C. 0. Ten- nunt Clary , has mot with cordial favor. The * object Miss Clary has In view , which Is that of establishing a local operatio stage , moots with very general approval as a valuable Instrument illty for promoting musical tjsto- and cul ture. In Europe every city of any size has Its local oporu houbo , which ranks with the library uud art gallery , and iy con- Mldorod Indlsponeublo both as ail educator cater and for soulul rocroiitlon. Operas uro rondorotl by localized companies , which for obvluus reasons are enabled to give bolter performances , and tlio ex- peiibU of production bolng reduced the pikes of admission are placed within the mouns of all. Years of such ad vantages have made oven the tttroot gamin of Europe musical. In America there is no such thing today as legitimate opera outside of u shoit season in Now York and Chicago. Even the traveling companioa which ex isted in the day * of Strnkos-jb , nnd which gave to our country Kellogg nnd Carey nnd a season annually of ono or two weeks to our larger cities , have ceased to oxist. It Is apparent that unless the Rtugo Is localized opera will bo lost to America. The European operatic stage of today is drawing Us talent nnd voices from America ) ns Iho brightest stars are American women who wont to Europe to llnd the stage that should exist In their own country. Musical and think ing people regret this condition , which will continue until the local stage Is os- tabllshcd. Why should not Omaha bo among the first to take that stop ? There is sulllciont wealth and culture hero to do so , and a population largo enough to support it when once established , o The plan of Miss Clary for raising the Tunds necessary to the success of iho en terprise is such that all receive full value for the money expended. The company to produce the oparas is to bo selected and organized by Max Mnrotzok of New York , whoso ability mid experi ence give assurance of the best results possible Tor the amount of money ox- ponded. Two logltlmato operas will bo given during the week. Miss Clury has mot with gratifying success thus far and there Is every reason to expect that her very practical plan will continue to find favor'wlth those of our people who are interested in musical matters and are disposed to contrlbulo to the promo tion of musical taste nud culture in the community. A QUESTION OF UKSI'UXSWILITF. Tlio verdict of the ooronor's.jury as to the cause of deaths In the lute tragic disaster ut Oil City , by which n largo number of people lost their lives , is to the otTcct that all persons owning ana having In custody the fatal naphtha tank and its contonls , by which the conlla- grulion was caused , were guilty of gross carelessness. So far us it Is possible to judge of the circumstances nt this distance the ver dict seems to bo a just ono. The fuct that the blame falls upon the Standard Oil company should neither intensify nor abate the feeling of the public. The mutter should bo considered from n standpoint of strict and impartial jus tice. The Standard Oil company is a , groul and wealthy monopoly , but this fuct should not bo considered in fixing the rosponsiollity for a disaster so shock ing and terrible itsi that ut Oil City. The coroner's jury scorns to huvo sought only to place the blame where it belongs and there is nothing in the findings to indU'ulo that the common prejudice acruinst rich monopolies influence ! ) the judgment of the jurors. Gross carelessness sometimes means a great deal , especially in u court of law. The suits for damages which will cer tainly bo brought against the Standard Oil company on account of the killing and maiming for which the coroner's jury suys'that It is responsible will bo important in many ways. They will bo especially important to the widows and orphans who huvo been left without moans of support , to the Injured who have been deprived of their ability to earn a living for themselves and their families , and to those whoso property has boon destroyed. Of course , it does not necessarily fol low that gross carelessness on the part of the owners of the naphtha tanks was the solo cause of the ruinous and death- dealing disaster at Oil City. The olo- monls did their work , and but for the flood there would probably huvo boon no oil conflagration. But the coroner's jury holds the oil company responsible for lack of provision against the very thing that happened , and there is jus tice in this. Many thousands of dollars have boon paid by an oil company in an eastern city for a naphtha explosion that occurred throe or four yours ago , and in that cusq the injury done was much less dourly duo to carelessness than in the Oil City holocaust. Public sentiment was with the sufferers on the broad ground that corporations are bound to protect those whoso lives or property uro Imperiled by their opera tions. In matters of this kind a corporation should rccoivo neither more nor loss con sideration from the general pubflb than un individual would receive under the sumo Qircumstancob. Where blame is shown the responsible parties should bo made to pay for it so fur as money can pay for the killing and maiming of hu man boincs A SUaOHSTlVK COMl'AHISOfi. It is a well known fact that the .best dressed beef In the world id shipped -rom Omaha , Chicago and Kansas Citv. The American Analyst , a . scientific journal published in Now York , has un exhaustive article on this subject , in which it is clearly shown thut eastern dressed baof cannot , in the nuluro of things , bo lit to bo placed upon the table of any man who Is at nil partic ular about the quality of his food. The residents of Now York and other At- untie saabovrd cities consume largo quantities of boot that is provided by local butchers , who receive their slock on foot from the south and southwest. It would seem to be scarcely nocosbury to enter into un argument to prove thut the moat which they offer their custom ers cannot bo good. The catllo which they kill are usually transported from Texas , Colorado , Now Mexico am other distant western points , and are received in the oust more dead thai alive , und often suffering from disease , und are immediately slaughtered to meet the demand * of tlio market with out being given time to recover from the fever that la In their blood , or the wounds and bruises that uro on their nils orublo bodies. Before the animal bout Is out of the moat it is olTorod for sale to the unsophisticated ouator/i / buyer , who docs not tuko the trouble to inquire whunco It came , nor trouble himsel about the unclean and revolting methods of killing and dressing prac ticed by the otstern : butcher.

The results thut have ensued from the systematic labors of a single man employed by the government of the Jnited States to convince the people of Germany of the great value of Ameri can corn as nn article of food nro suffi ciently encouraging to warrant the con clusion that advertising of this kind , muy bo made profltuUo in other dlrcc- , ions. It is not beneath the dignity of nny'govornmont to pursue a course that depends for its success upon udvuntugoti tccruing to its citizens und these of other lands in equal measure , buch a jollcy is not oven open to the objection that it is a stop toward government nitornnlism , a thing whtah some people .liinkis not creditable to the dignity and ndopondonco of the individual. It is us ogitimalo and proper as nny other" noasurc for extending the benefits of American civilization and progress to the peoples of other lands. The introduction' of American corn into Germany thrflujrti the efforts of an emissary duly employed for the work dooa not spring from' an altruistic and benevolent deslro' toV'do the Germans a good turn , but it ( nevertheless has that effect , while it extends the market for ono of the most mportunt products of this country. . rt" . . It is announcofi bV5 the Agricultural department that0Qiic exports of corn during the flrstnthroo1" months of this year show an iticreaso to Gormuny alone of over' 400 per cent ; that Is , the export's to Germany for these months inilSOL were $1,093,860 , while this your thoy'ronchod $5,7C5,4.5. ! This re'sult has boonentirely brought about by a sort of campaign of educa tion conducted among the Gorman people plo by ono man who know how to teach them the uses of American corn. It has done them good , beyond a doubt , and the figures above given show that it has done us good by extending our market. The possibilities of such a system of education us this seem unlimited. Not only the Germans but many others in foreign lands are ignorant of the value of this palatable und nutritious cereal. They know of Us existence and perhaps know that it is inexpensive , but they do not Know how to use it. It would seem as if a people having so much inter course with Americans as the Germans have always had would not need en lightenment on this subject , but the fruits of such enlightenment were very promptly shown in a vastly increased importation of our corn und In the erec tion of a largo number of mills by the Germans to prepare the cornmeal which they had never before learned much about. Perhaps the day is not far distant when other products of this country will in the same manner bo brought to the attention of people in dislant lands who only refrain from buying thorn now be cause their education hub been neglected. It certainly pays to aijyortiso. A HIT OF CONVENTION lllSTOIll' . The Chicago convention was thoslx'th in the history of the democratic party in which a candidate for president wan nominated on the first ballot. The first convention of the party wasjhold in 1832 , when Jackson and Van Buron were nominated. In 1830 nnd again in 1840 Van Buron was nominated ut Bultimoro without opposition. In 1811 at Balti more Polk was nominated on the ninth ballot , his chief opponents bolng Van Buron , C.iss , Buchanan 'and Johnson. In 1818 in the same city CABS was nominated natod on tlio fourth ballot against Bu chanan , Woodbury , , , Calhcun , Worth and Dallas. Attain the party mot a Baltimore In 1852 ifo'd pomlnutod Plorco on the forty-ninth'Jbftllot , a stubborn fight having booiiu'jnudo by bin friends und those of Casa 'Buphunun , Douglass nnd Murcy.

Ills rivals woro"nuuVruus , but in the ad journed convention ha hud it all his own way , his most formidable competitor Guthrie , locelvlng only nine und five voles respectively on the two ballots. In 1801 M'Collun ; ! wna nominated on the lirst ballot at Chicago.-Seymour being his chief rival. Seymour was chosen on the twenty-second ballot at New York in 1808 against Hancock , Pondloton Johnson , Doullltlo und Ilendrlcks , a few other candidates also receiving scatter Ing voles. In 1872 Grooloy was noml natcd In Baltimore on the first ballot after ho haU been chosen aa the cundl date of the liberal republicans. Tilden vns selected nt St. Louis In 1870 on the ocond ballot. Hancock captured the > rizo n Cincinnati on the second ballot n 188U , and Cleveland was the winner at rhtcago on the second ballot In 1SS1. At St. Louis in 1883 ho received the nomi nation by acclamation. Many of these battles for the honor of bearing the democratic standard were stubbornly fought , and In the convon- lens prior to the appearance of Cloyo- and in the field the democratic party lover know what It was to have a 'claimant" on Us hands. In none of horn was there shown so bitter u hos- lllty to the nominee ns was expressed at ho late convention at Chicago. ' Tlicnc was recently organized in Tow York the American Jewish society , the object of which Is to collect , pie- servo and publish all data concerning ho settlement of the .lows In America. its researches will bo conducted mvlnly n the United State's , but some attention vlll bo given to the other portions of the two continents of America. The society will also endeavor to make a complete record of the history and In- luonoo of Iho Jo wish people nnd to show .heir . direct bearing und connection with the history of this country. The Hold of research in this direction has boon almost untouched , nnd it cannot fall to lovolou a great deal that would bo of the highest Interest. The general rec ord of the Jews In America Is known to DO closely allied with the history of the Jnitod Stutos , but tho' details remain to so gathered and linked together In their proper sequence. Ono of the re ; suits reasonably expected from the worictngs 01 this society will bo the elimination of whatever prejudice lin gers against the Jews. This exists now mainly among iho uneducated. Intelli gent people who have studied the his tory of this country and uro imbued with the spirit of fairness or justice do not need to have proofs given Ihoui that the Jews have uluuys boon good citi zens , the peers of any other class in patriotism , and in proportion to their numbers contributing us largely as any other class to the material progress and prosperity of the country. Tlio American Jewish society has among Us members such eminent men us Dr. Cyrus Adler , Dr. Charles Gross , Prof. Soligman , John Bach McMustor and Oscar Straus , of whom it has boon observed that when such master minds ally themselves with any cause the results are not likely to bo futile or unlolt.

The last olorsilon was the first hold unaor the rodlstrlbullon ot iSsrt bill , which Increased the constituencies from 2SO to G13 ; nnd ns In that election only hnlf the vote wns polled , no ono can feel perfectly ccrlnln what the result will bo when the ontlro vote is polled In districts only tested once , nnd thnt n scratch contest. In addition there has been n growth ot voters. In 1SSJ there were f > ,707,82a registered" voters in the Unllod Kingdom. Last July , when the rogUlry now n force wns completed , there were 0 , ITU , CSS voters. This Increase Is nil in Knglnnd nnd Wale , where the voter * hnvo r son from 4191,53'J ! In IbSO 104,8 ,440 last July. Liberal confldonco In the present election Is lonlly based on the by-elections In the past six yours. Down to a yonr ngo , or May , Ib'JI ' , there had boon US of these elections , lii which the UladUonlnns hud gained seventeen scats. This U one-sixth of IITO ; nnd , If the gain oontluuod through the house , u liberal triumph was cortuln. The by-olectlons of the putt year have boon about equally favor.iblo to homo rule ; but the ag gregate is , nltor nil , a small fraction of nil the constituencies. The real basis of liberal cortltudo docs not rest on n mere poll of members , but on the circumstance thai in these by-elections the liberal vote 1s back to the llcuros ot 1835. On that vote the liberals are certain to win. At thosacio time It would bo u grave tnlstako to forgot thnt the coming election will turn on n nnrrow majority ; that signs of n conservative reaction huvo recently - contly appeared ; nnd that by-olootlons hilvo proved untrustworthy in the past. Mr. Gladstone hus every chance of winning ; b.it his victory is by no moans ns certain ns most cable dispatches to American papers inako It. * * The colobratton of the twonty-llfth nn- nlvorsary of the coronation of the Kmperor Francis Joseph ns king of Hungary may well bo thought to encourage political optimism. The emperor began his career with the sup pression of Magyar aspirations , and the first yours of his reign were muritod by shocking cruelties towards those who had taken urms against the Austrian rulo. But his youth rollovod him in u measure of responsibility for this bloodshed nnd his Intorglft of 10J.OOO ducats to these who were widowed nnd orphaned ut that tlmo won for him the Jor- Rlvonoss and the nlToctlon of his Hungarian sublects. Nevertheless , in the dospernto strait of 1800 , when Austria faced an enemy on cither sldo , Hungary menaced her with revolt in the roar , nnd the roconstitutlon ol the ancient kingdom wns exhorted from the weakness und the f oars of tha imperial irovor- mont. The luturo of this hybrid state wus rosardod with anxloty by lu friends and with contempt by Us foes. Such n government , it was declared , was unworkable nnd the undent empire was fated to dissolve Into its oloiuents. At lirst there seemed much ica- son to bollovo that Iho llrst shock of wnr would precipitate this dissolution. Never theless the union has grown stronger instead of weaker. The uosltion of the dual govern ment , is now boltor than over. There have been linnnclnl mistakes enough , nnd the present financial policy is marked by racial jo.Uousy and commercial narrowness , but the credit of the country Is batter than ever boforo. Discontent' among tha Poles and Bohemians has boon undoubtedly stimulated by tbo example of Hungary , but the emperor has managed with wonderful patience and' skill to appease the agitators , and lilj per sonal popularity is everywhere justly groat. t * If Bismarck bo snubbed by royalty , ho is honored by the people , as they demonstrate by the reception given him on his journey to Vienna. There tvoro no court dignitaries to moot him as ho loft the railroad train , and the Gorman ambassador at Vicuna will not bo present ut Count Herbert's Prodding , but tno people were there In crowds and greeted the old man most enthusiastically. At Dres den , too , and oven at Berlin it was the same ; his journey from Friodrichsruho to Vienna was a triumphal procession , There is possibly something moro lu this demonstration than simply the desire to do honor to Bismarck. It has been made an expression , as his birth day was , of tlio movement of the undercur rent of opposition to the emperor , ns well as of nnti-bomltlsm. One thing is settled by this attitude of the emperor toward Count Herbert's wedding , and that is the falsity of the recent rumors of an approaching recon ciliation botwcon William and the ox-chan cellor. William's snub is too direct to bo in terpreted in any other way than as n positive Intimation that a reconciliation must bo on terms dictated by him , if at all. # * It is observed that whenever native Afri can tribes are saved from decimating Inter tribal wars nnd alcoholic- liquors they thrive well , no matter how many whites nro around them.
