organization of the republican na
tional committee will undoubtedly bo
satisfactory to the party nt largo. From
whnt Is said of lion. W J. ( jnmpbcll of
Illinois , the chairman of the committee ,
by those who Imvo knowledge of hU
qualifications for mnnaginir n political
campiilgn. his selection was manifestly
wise. It was judicious , also , to take n
man from Illinois , the home of the
democratic cnndldnto for vice president.
Of courio there Is not the slightest prob
ability of thnt Rtnto 1)elng carried by
the democrats next November , but they
will miiko n vigorous light there , nnd It
is well to have the mnn who is to con
duct the republican campaign fnmlllnr
with Illinois politic * .
Equally judicious was the selection of
Hon. Tom Carter of Montana for secre
tary of the committee. Ho Is very pop
ular In his own state , which is generally
placed on the doubtful list , nnd ho Is n
thoroughly cnpnblo politician. Mr.
Cnrtor exhibited rare tnot nnd judg
ment In the work ho did for President
Harrison nt Minneapolis , showing him-
so/ ! / possessed of exceptional alt ill and
nblltty In political management. Ho
will undoubtedly , ns secretary of the
committee , give stronger evidence of
bin exceptional qualtllcallons. The se
lection of Mr. Do Young , editor of the
San Francisco Cliwnidc , as vice chair
man was wise and will hnvo n good ef
fect upon the const states.
Tlio unanimity with which these of
ficers wore uliof.cn evidences complete
harmony in the committee and gives
assurance that the campaign will bo con
ducted by the men selected for that
Important task without any bickerings
or misilndcfiitntidings which might In-
orfcro with a vigorous nnd aggressive
naniigement. The fnct U recognized
.hat . the republican party hns before it a
ontosl which , na was sixld by Mr.
ftissott of Now York , will put to the teat
ho mettle of every republican , nnd that
n order to win the party must bo united
ind harmonious. Especially is it im
portant and necessary that there bo no
disaffection or serious disagreements in
.ho . national committee , nnd It will bo
gratifying to nil republicans to know
hnl thcro uro uoiio nnd that the pro
mise IB that all the members of the com-
mitbe will work zealously nnd heartily
'or the party's success. The influence
of this upon the party throughout the
country will bo good , Inspiring it with
oal and confidence- . The signs nro pro
pitious , the conditions nro favorable to
republican victory , but in order to
[ ichiovo victory the party must bo hnr-
nonious , vigllnnt nnd nggrosaivo.

Ropresontntivos of many Inbor unions
nnd other organizations in Chicago nro
making n unltod effort to secure the
pardon of Oscar Neobo , Michael Schwab
and Samuel Fieldou , the anarchists who
are in the penitentiary at Joliet for par
ticipation in the Haymnrkot riot , which
took plnco in Chicago on May 4 , 18SO.
It is not necessary to dwell upon the
imturo of thacrltno for which these mon
ivoro imprisoned. The public passed
judgment upon their case long ago.
There never hns boon any doubt of their
uilt nnd the interests of social order
require that they shall pay the full
penalty imposed by the law. But oven
if it bo admitted that they have boon
bufllciontly punished and thnt the peni
tence which they profess is genuine , it
Is very unfortunate that the labor
organizations should have baon induced
to take measures looking to their re-
lonso. No doubt the o who are con
cerned in this movement constitute
only n small fraction of the orgnnizod
bodies of which they nro moinbors , but
in so far as they nro proceeding in the
name of Inbor unions they nro doing
harm to the interests of all working-
men.
Through no fault of the great peace-
loving masses embraced by these unions
they have become associated In the
minds of mnny people with anarchistic
notions and turbulent prococdings.
Such men as Noebo nnd Schwab
nnd Fioldon have done immeasur
able injury to the workinginon of
America by creating the impression in
some quarters that they nro representa
tives of the ideas ami purposes of the
labor organizations. The rights and
privileges of the workinginon cannot bo
protected nor can their interests in any
w.ay bo subserved by the championship
of men who hnvo no respect for | aw and
order. On the contrary , they nro yuro
to suffer by any action which identifies
them , oven remotely , with such mon.
They need the bo3t public Huntimont on
their side nnd are sure to have it if they
frown upon every movement that
threatens social disorder.
Lot the worklngmon refrain from in
teresting tnomsolves in behalf of the
imprisoned anarchists ; or nt least lot
them take care to do nothing In that di
rection in the name of organized labor.
Tin : piionntrnux COXVKNTIO.V ,
The national convention of the pro
hibition pnrty will moot in Cincinnati
today. Representation In this conven
tion is based on the vote polled by the
party in the different states Instead ol
on the number of congressmen nnd sen
ators a plan which it Is proposed shall
bo adopted hereafter for republican
conventions. The number of delegates
in the prohibition convention , If nil at
tend , will ba 1,091 , nnd it is expected
thnt everybody who has n right to n
boat will be proaont.
This will be the sixth convention ol
the prohibition party to nominate presi
dential candidates. In the last live
presidential elections thu vole of the
party was ns follows :
Ib7i 0,007
1S70 0,7:17 :
1SSU 0,078
1S3J IfiO.OW
188 $ 219.1)15 )
This shows u considerable growth in
the prohibition vote during the past
twelve years , though not so g'reut as the
party expected. The lenders nro figur
ing on polling 1,000,000 votes this year ,
but the result will doubtlcbs iihow thul
this Is an extravagant exportation. Ac
cording to the advices from Cincinnati
thoB'Jt'Uetilion that the prohibition parti
should amalgamate with the people's
party la not likely to receive berlous con
sideration. It is also said that there
will be no dltlleulty In finding men will
ing to accept the nomination for thu
presidency , thcro bolng sovornl who are
vigorously cultivating a boom. With
regard to the platform , It U stated that
the silver Issue will probably cause trou
ble nnd doubtless .there will bo a rom-
promlso of views nnd a straddle.
The taking of-prohlbltlon Into politics
hns not boon helpful to the cause. It Is
worthy of note thatHinco 1831 only two
states. North nnd South D.ikotn , hnvo
placed prohibition in their constitutions ,
while during this pcrloJ thirteen states
hnvo voted on prohibitory amendments
to tliolr constitutions nnd rejected them ,
namely : Now Hampshire , Massachusetts ,
Rhode Island , Connecticut , Pennsyl
vania , Michigan , Nebraska , Oregon ,
Washington , Tennessee , West Virginia ,
Mississippi nndTexns. In all of these
states except Michigan the majority
atralnst prohibition wns Inrge nnd de
cisive. High license nnd restriction
hnvo very generally followed the defeat
of prohibition , uniformly with results
thnt hnvo boon satisfactory to the
people and have vindicated the wisdom
of tholr adoption.
While the prohibition vote in the
country at largo has realized a consid-
ornblo growth in the Inst olght years ,
lit the larger states the vote has not In
creased In Into years , n'ud wherever
high license prevails the effect is to
reduce the prohibition vole for the
reason thnt that system , when propjarly
enforced , appeals to the support of Intel
ligent nnd practical pooplo. Prohibi
tion , on the ether hand , has failed of its
purpose wherever it h.i boon adopted
and has also boon n drawback to the
material prosperity of the states having
it. Nevertheless wo shall , ns usual , bo
told by the platform of the Cincinnati
convention that prohibition has been
everywhere an unqualified success.
A. GOXSTITUT10XAL
The platform adopted by the dora o
uriitlo party at Chicago says : "Wo do-
oluro it to bo the fundamental principle
of the democratic party that the federal
government hns no constitutlonnl power
to impojo or collect tariff duties , except
for the purposes of revenue only , nnd wo
dnnnnd that tlio collection of such taxes
shall bo limited to the necessities of the
government , honestly and economically
administered. "
This is the lirst time in all its history
.hut . the democratic party hns tukon this
ground. Never bcforo has it dared to
lony the authority of the constitution
'or the imposition of tariff duties. In
many democratic national conventions
here hnvo boon free traders who desired
to have such a declaration made , out
they have always hitherto boon in the
ninorlty ami the party hns novar until
W rnndo an attack upon the republican
.ai'itl position upon the ground that it
8 not constitutional.
It is intorostlugr to note that the do-
nocrncy of today hns gene back many
years for its tariff plank. The nullifica
tion convention that assembled at Col
umbia , S. C. , November 19 , 1832 , passed
an ordinance repudiating the tariff log-
slntton then in force in the United
States , and this action virtually put
South Carolina out of the union. Less
than n month later President Jackson
issued his proclamation against nullifi
cation , in which ho said : "A conven
tion assembled in the state ot South
Carolina have passed nn ordinance by
which they doclnro that the several acts
nnd parts of acts of the congress of the
United States , purporting to bo the
laws for the imposing of duties and im
posts on the importation of foreign
commodities , nnd now having actual
olTcct and operation within the United
States , nnd moro especially two nets for
the same purpose passed on the 20th of
May , 1628 , nnd on the 14th of July ,
1832 , nro unauthorized by the constitu
tion of the United States and violnto
the true menning nnd intent thereof ,
and nro null and void nnd no law , " etc. ,
etc. Jackson's proclamation against
the nullification declared by the South
Carolina democrats is ono of the solid
rocks upon which hid enduring fame
rests. The democrats of our day often
call themselves Jicksonlans and try to
bolster up their wo\k : cause by using his
name. But they have now once more
proclaimed the same falsa doctrine that
aroused the Ire of Old Hickory when
nullification was rampant In Soutn
Carolina sixty years ago.
There Is another interesting fact to be
noted in connection with the now domo-
erntio tariff plank. It is a repetition of
a clause in the confederate constitution ,
which declares that no duties nor taxes
on forolgn importations shall bo laid to
promote or foster any industry.
The democracy of this day is looking
backward for Its inspiration. It is liv
ing in a past ago. It finds its prece
dents in nullification and rebellion. For
mnny years It has juggled with the
tarilT , and now at the close of the nine
teenth century It has reached the con
clusion thnt wns reached long ngo by
the nulllliors nnd confederate * , namely ,
thnt protection is n violation of the con
stitution of the United States.
Tlio democrats have never failed to
blunder in framing their platforms , but
this is the first time they have ever
gene back to nullification and the con
federate constitution for u tnritl plunk.
THK folly of giving the contract for
furnlturo for the now city hull to out
siders instead of favoring homo manu
facturers is now apparent. The furnl
turo bent by the Ivqtcham company IH
Bald to bo by no means up to the quality
demanded by the contract nnd it is
prubablu that the council will reject it.
There wns a strong sentiment against
the making of this contract , nnd It Is
now evident that thu city will suffer an
noyance and delay as the penalty for
golntr away from homo for furniture that
could have been obtained hero.
Tun bill to establish u uniform system
of bankruptcy was reported to the house
of representatives on Monday and is now
on the calendar. This gives promise of
action on the measure nt the present
session. There Is a very general dculro
on the part of the business Interests of
the country for the enactment of u na
tional bankruptcy law , and both parties
"
in"congrosH ouzht to bo disposed to re
gard this wish. The fact should bo
recognized that n grout change hns taken
plnco within n few yours in the view of
commercial circles us to the necessity
for such legislation , The former law
wns so wrolchod yJwd In its operation
that there wns naturally created a wide
spread prejudice Ingnlnyt n national
bankruptcy ln , fiul this fooling has
largely disappeared , and In the west es
pecially , where mho prejudice was
strongest , the blntltnont Is general
among business in8n thnt there ought to
bo a uniform system of bankruptcy. The
existence of almost nsinany systems ns
there nro states eannolTbo In tho'intcrost
of justice , und since it Is practically im
possible to secure uniformity In slate
laws It is necessary to have a nntlonnl
law. As there if nothing political in
this matter , ami it Is something which
the business Interests of the country nro
nlmost unanimous In asking for , there
does not appear to bo any good reason
why congress should not dispose of It
nt once.
THK fate of the anti-options bill In the
senate is still somewhat uncertain ,
although It is the opinion of Senator
Vest that it will pass. It appears thnt
thu'commltteo having the monsuro in
charge Is divided on It , n majority being
opposed to It. probably on constitutional
grounds , nnd that two reports on It will
biTmado to the sonnto , ono for and the
ether against. A final vote of the com
mittee on the bill Is expected to be had
tomorrow , nnd in thnt case the measure
may bo reported to the senate this week.
It will doubtless receive very full dis
cussion , nnd this Is to bo desired ,
especially by the friends of the bill , on
whoso side t ie weightol argument rests.
So far ns the constitutional objection Is
concerned it does not appear to have
much strength , but it will bo Interesting
to observe what can bo made out of It.
The agricultural * producers of the coun
try are nearly unanimous in demanding
this legislation , which they profoundly
buliuvo to bo necessary to the protection
of tholr into'rests , nnd both parties In
congress would do well to respect tholr
wish.

THK fnct thnt exports of produce from
the United States for Juno nro proceed
ing nt nn nvorngo gain of 25 per cent
ever the heavy shipments of May is a
favorable indication , nnd this with the
excellent crop prospects und the In
creased business in nearly nil lines of
manufacture will tend to strengthen
pablie confidence in the prosperity of
the country and stimulate business in
every branch. There is some disturb
ance nnd uncertainty in the iron trade ,
but in nil ether Hues the outlook con
tinues good.
THU dolegatlon"from the Irish Na

The prisoner at the bar U a wile murderer
and a wotild-bo sulelJo. The tragedy was
committed hi a small cottage ntTwonty-
seventh and rigau streets , South Omaha , on

llm was Charity Vox. Karly In iho morning
of that dny Vex Ilred bullet Into his wife's
jody , from the ufTccts of which she dlod a
few hours later.
This morning , when taken Into court. Pox

a human being. Ho Is ever six foot
in height , weighing SOO pounds. His
shoulders uro stooped and carry a largo head
covered with a heavy sliockof uuUompi blaoic
hair. To add lo bis wlclted nnd ropulslvo

.veiled nnd beat the lloor of the cell.
UandculTs were slipped over l < tsvrUts and
leg irons over his ankles , and In thU con
dition ho was led into the court room.
Then ho took In Iho surroundings and with
i loud roar sotUod into u chair. A moment
later ho commenced to rave , but was quickly
brought to time by SberitT Bennett und
Jailer Miller , wbo tlghloned up a long towel
thnt had boon twUtud about tbo murdorct's
hroat.
During the entire session ho gazed about
the court room , paying too much attention lethe
the proccodlngs for a man who was bcrof t of
reason.

After the afternoon session Fox presented
MI Improved nppearanco ns ho sallied Into the
uourt room. IJ tiring tlio naon rncossaoouplo
of lusty Jailers tbro.v him to the lloor , bound
bun hand and foot and then sbnvod his head
and beard. The process did not Imvo thu
same effect upon Fox that tlio shearing U
alleged to have had on Samson of old , for it
deprived him of none of his stronglli , ns
Sheriff Bennett and Jailer Mlllorwlll testify.
The work of securing the Jury wont bravely

The defnnso will make a stubborn light , but
will not Introduce anv testimony lo dlsprovq
the commission of Iho crlmo. A number of
experts have boon called , all of whom will
give testimony as to the mental condition of
the murderer.
Depositions from Fox's Former Homo.
Just before the adjournment of court last
evening n score of Depositions of parties residing -
siding al Valparaiso , Ind. , were opened. It
was in this locality that Fox resided for
many years prior to his removal to South
Omaha.V. . J. Henry has tostilioa that ho
Uno-.v Fox for ninny years , and tnot when
excitoa bu would slap bis head nnd declare
that an iron band was cutting into his brain.
Henry will ilso toslify that Fox was Insane ;
that ho worked for him in tbo capacity of a
well driller , nnd that at ono time when
sent for a horse power fourteen inllus
away he forgot what ho wont i\ftor.
H. C. Coats , u physician , in a deposition ,
has volunteered the testimony thnt.Fox was

of the time the murderer was laboring under
the opinion that his wlfo was untrno.
John BaPoll know Fox from the time ho
was 18 years of ngo. During these early days
the younp man would frequently sav to tbo
people who were In his companv , "What a
Christly pain I had in my hoad. " BaPoll is
sura that Fox is nn insane man.
Thomas G. Miller had known Fox for
years , in fact , from the time when ho was n
lad. Even when Fox was n boy ho smoked
twelve cigars a uay and frequently drank n
quart ot liquor between sunnso and sunset.
Miller was afraid of Fox , so ho s.i'd , for ho
regarded htm as a bad man , ono who would
not bositato lo lake a human llfo.
Then follows a lot of testimony that shows
that Fox came from a family ulllleted with
Insanity. Some committed suicide , some hud

houses.
