Tiuiti : : Ia no reason ( or the boast ot the doinocratiu papers beuiusu the re publican boimto passed tlio frco silver bill and the ilomooratlo house defeated It. In the eonato 520 per cent of the re publicans nnd 80 per cent of the demo crat * voted for free bllvor. whllo in the Jiouse only 16 per cent , of the ropubll- cand and Q5 poc cent of the democrats Voted for the bill. The democrat * arc divided and the republicans are united. l.KT TIIK TAlllfT S///K Mr. Charles A. Dana advises the domocratlo party to abandon the tariff issue for the present and mnko its lighten on the ground that republican success will moan the enactment of a "foroo bill. " ThU counsel will receive att n- tlon In the south , but nowhere else. The people ol the north cannot bo Induced to ignore the Issues which the democratic party has forced upon the country and take up a matter which , however im portant In Itself , cm wait for future consideration. The question of an un- rcstiictod billet should certainly bo re garded as subordinate to no other question with which the American people ple have to deal , but Its urgency is not BO great as the questions of protection and the maintenance of a sound cur rency. The republican party believes In hon est elections , but it is not true /that the success of that party means a "force bill. " The truth Is that only a fciirill minority of the party favors tiny legis lation ielating to elections When this matter wns nefoi c the Fifty-Ill st congress the most inlluontial republican news papers in the country opposed what the democrats cal ! the foco bill , and there are \ery few republicans now who aio in favor of such legislation. The great majority of republicans hold tlmt this Is a question which the pconlo of the south must Huttlo among themselves , and thoio ia reason to believe that in duo time it will bu settled IT the interest ot justice. The lo.idera of the poopln'3 p.irty in the south propose to see tlmt the negro shall bo allowed to vote , and if they are sincere in their professed in tention the colored citl/.uns of most of the southern states will secure their rights without the help of additional legiblation. If they are wise they will use their rights to break down the party that has wronged them for a quarter of a century. Tlio uomocratic party will bo sternly hold to the issues it has mailo. By the course of its representatives in congress and in the utterance of its national plat- term it is committed to the policy of free trade and it will not bo permitted to pscapo the responsibility of its posi tion in this respect. It has declared war against the svsj.otn of Amoricnn protec tion and it will b3 compelled to make the light on the line it deliberately se lected. The democratic party ia also on record in favor of the fioo and unlimit ed coinage of silver , and it will also bo forced to defend itaelf upon this issue. Thosoaio the urgent and vital ques tions upon which the people are to ren der judgment next November. They have relation to the immediate inter ests and welfare of the entire country , and upon their proper solution depends the material progress and prosperity of all interests. Ilonest elections every where are to bo desired. Every citi/.en ought to bo fcocuro in the enjoyment of his political rights. Tlio time will surely corao when this will bo the case. But at present there are more urgent questions to bo p issed upon. The Uomocratic pxrty may succeed in keeping the south solid by appealing to the fears of the people with the cry that republican success will moan the enact ment of a force bill , bin , such a cry will have no inlluonco in the north. " The voters of this section are not to bo scared by any such bojry. Their atten tion cannot bo diverted from the vital , paramount issues affecting the matoi ial progiesb and prosperity of the country by sounding an alarm that something may happen as to which tlioro is in any event only a very remote possibility. A XATW.AL ISAXKIlUriCl' MKASURK. At the recent mooting of the No- brask.v Business Men's association in this city the need of a good b inkruptcy law was discussed and Tin : BIK at tnat time took the gtound that the business interests of the country demanded such a measure. The Torrey bankruptcy bill now be fore congress deserves and is receiving the approval of business men through out the country. It is free from the ob jectionable features of the old bank ruptcy law and meets the requiromont-i of the times. All of the first-class na tions of the earth have bankruptcy laws upon their statute books , while this country lias only its state insolvency laws , which are varying and unequal in their provisions. The constitution of the United States aiuhori/us a national bankruptcy law and the bnaineas men of this country have long demanded such a measute. The present bill was introduced in the house of representatives at the last session , but was not reached by the senate. It has now boon again reported by the house judiciary committee , but it Is hardly hoped that the senate will reach It before next winter. It is ex pected that it will easily become a law and that its operations will meet with general public approval. The bill under consideration was re ported to the house by Colonel Oatos of Alabama. Chief .Tustico Stone of the supreme coin t of that state , who Is ro- gaided as i. good authority , had given the nie.ibiuu careful attention and do- elded In its favor , expressing the belief that it will piomoto the business and the moral and financial interests of the country. It is so guarded in Ha pro visions that it will not bo subject to the abuses and corrupt practices which pre vailed under former laws. The bill confers bankruptcy jurisdic tion upon United States district courts ; dollnos act > of bankruptcy to bo those which indie ito upon the pirt of the dobtora ilishoaoot purpjjo with regard to his property on a conJitlon of insol. voncy ; provides for a speedy hearing and glvos to the dafondmt the right of trial by jury ; make * it passible for hon- e8t.dobloi > to secure a quick and Inox- ponslso compromise or a prompt and economical ndmlnlhtration of their on- tales ; limits the right of discharges to honest men ; Imposes punishment upon dishonor olncers , fraudulent bankrupts and olTondIng creditors : prevents oobt- ors from defrauding their creditors and credlto-i from t'ikiiig advantage of the if uobtor or of oaeh ether , and secures to each one his llnanclal rights. It is bo- llovt'il that the enactment of this meas ure will protect the honest debtor ngaliidt Impositions and the honest cred itor against fraud by ether creditors and dobtoia , and that it will btcuro the db > fu largo ulan of unfortunate but worthy moil who now labor under the disability of burdens of debt from which tlioy cannot hope to secure a dis charge. There Is a projudl'-o In the minds of some people against bankruptcy laws because th"y boliovc that sueh laws are calculated ti protect dlshonoal men and oncour.igo fraud. Foimor laws \\ero subject to such abuses that it is no wonder that sjch an impression pre vails. But it Is believed that the pro posed inoasuio will afford ample protec tion against c'-ookcil transactions. It has boon prepared with that object in view and ha * received the approval of good authorities. If it proves to be do- fectlvo after its enactment and enforce ment it will bo subject to amendment until It fully meets the approval of the pooplo. PKllTIXKXI. Ever since the Board of Education was created this paper has endeavored to keep the management of our public schools out of the mire of ward politics. Wo have sought upon every occasion to inculcate the principle that politics or croud should have no part n : the Board of Education. The loputationof our public schools should bo as dear to every good citizen of Omaha as is his own reputation or tlmt of his family. Whoever drags down our school system nnd lowois its standard in popular esteem and confi dence IB a public enemy and deserves the execration and contempt of all icputablo citizens. There are not a do/.cn men in or out of Omaha , outside of the Board of Edu cation combinoof which Euclid Martin is the bellwotho1 , who do not fool mortified oucr the ward huelor tactics by which the re-election of Charles Conoyor as sccietaiy ot the school board was secured cured in puisuanco of a bargain to create the now ollico ot foreman of repairs for a running-mate and crony of Wohror in exchange for Wehrer's vote. In denouncing ttiis deal and calling upon thobo.ud to rescind its action this P'ipor only voiced the resentment of the patrons of the public schools and the in dignation of all classes of citizens at the disreputable course pursued by the clique that bought Wohrcr's vote. No paper in Omaha has dared to defend the action ot the combine. The only at tempt to divert public attention from tlio disgraceful proceeding was by inu- ondo which imputed to Mr. Glguttor the authorship of the stinging rebuke which Tin : Bii : had administered. Now everybody in this community knows that the cUitor of Tin : Bin : is able to roach his own conclusions concerning public attains and does not allow himself to bo influenced by friend or fee when ho has formed an opinion. Some people never know when they are well tioated and Euclid Martin and Constantine .T. Smith belong to that class. They have ventured to publish an "autnori/ed statement" in the Sun day Horld-JIcra'd in defense of their loprohen&iblo course under the follow ing caption : ' 'Why Uosowator Squeals , lie L-iid a Scheme to Control tho. Entire Patronage of the School Boat d and True to Ilia Nature IJe Plays the Baby Act. ' If anything more con tent ptiblo and mendacious has ever emanated from political charlatans wo havo. never hoai-d of it. What interest has Hosowa'or in school board patron age ? Whore , when and how has ho ever sought to control any school board patronage ? When or how has ho sought to Inlluonco the action of tha board and how could ho have controlled any patronage through the secretary or supervisor of repairs and buildings ? The attempt of Martin and Smith to screen themselves behind nuch a bare faced fabrication will deceive nobody fami liar with the course pursued by the school board combine. What defense do they make ? They say that "Tin : Br.i : is insinco'-o because it does not denounce - nounco its friends on the board who are said to have signed a written agreement to vote for Ilummol lor superintendent of buildings if Wohrcr would vote for their choice for secretary. " Tin : Bii : : has no friends to servo or enemies to punish in the school board , in the council or any whore else. It does not hesitate to denounce the con duct of any public man who goes wrong , whether ho is friendly or unfiiendly. It is opposud to corrupt trades and bar gains by whomsoever made and the aw- sei-tion that the agreement with Wohror was known to a representative of TIIK Bin : a day and a half before the board had acted docs not in any way con corn its ro-jponsiblo editor. A representa tive of Tin : Br.i : might predict a pn/.o light or a duel , but that would not iin- pllcato its editor or justify the outlaws. Mr. Martin , who is a small-boro poli tician with a great deal of cunning and precious little principle , charges that "trio editor of Tin : Bin : know that seven men who failed to got control of the board offered to lot Wehror name every olllcor to bo elected provided ho didnot , select men of a certain religious faith , nnd yet Tin : BIK : was silent. " This Is a barefaced falsehood. TIIK Bin : and its editor have always advo cated nonpirtUanshlp and nonsoc- tarianism in public school management. Martin , Smith and several other mom- bois of the board were alactod as non- partlsnns by the aid of Tin : B.ii : . But Martin has never boon anything else than a p irlisan , a Hchomor and sham reformer. Ills professions of reform have boon boiled by his winking at jobbery. L/ist spring ho formed the achool reform combine that organised the committees and scandalised the board by placing Charley Wohror on the committee of teachers and text books when he knew that Wohror was no moro lit to select tuachors and text books for the schools than is a pig to dunce on a tight ropo. Martin impudently asks : "Has par tisan politics anything to do with the election of Conoyor and Hummel ? " Of course not , but it is very strange that Martin and all thu democrats voted solid , while the republicans were divided. Nobody assails Air. Conoyor'a compe tency. For that mutter Tin : BlK ! has not even auggi'slbd tlmt his election bo rescinded , but wo have entered a re monstrance against the degrading ward heeler methods by which Wohror's vote was bargained for and bought. And wo atlll insist that for its own reputation nnd the gooJ nnmn of the city the board should rescind ff/actlon / nnWehror \ should bo sovoroiy disciplined. . > WS/\K ! S. The chalrmanrof the mining conven tion at Jlolona Wfiich Is really a free ' coinage convenVipn , said this 'in reply to Governor Tool0l address of welcome : 'Itemomber tha ho only reason why Now York Is powerful is because she has thirty-six iltfttor.ll vote" ) , and tha only reason wh/6'lho Is powerful is because - cause she has tivohly-four. Uomombor that by unnnlmlty'df action the Pacific coast states and the states west of the Missouri river can aggregate more votes than both ot these states united. " This refers to thu influence of Now York and Ohio In determining the finan cial policy of the United States. The speaker was plainly mistaken in ascribing ' ing that inlluonco 'entirely to the num ber of electoral votes roprcsqntcd by the states named. If their strength In tlio electoral college was no greater than that of Nevada and Montana they would still overtop the latter in direct ing the course of financial legislation. The vast financial and commercial in terests in Now York alone have a tre mendous inlluonco in the adjustment of such questions as that of free coinage. The men who do the business of the country are naturally the ones chtolly concerned as to the soundness of the currency basis upon which it is done , and hence it follows that their views receive great consideration vMion any legislation Is proposed which will tend to unsettle values and disturb 1 ho even course of trado. The notion that the interest represented in the op position to fico coinage is a sectional interest is onliiely unfounded. The states of Now York and Ohio are not powerful in this contest merely bec.uiso they represent a largo number of electoral votes , but because they repre sent vast interests in every branch of business. If Now York' city desires - sires a continuance of the present financial system of the country her in- iluonco to that end will extend to busi ness circles throughout the United States , just as it has hcrotoforo when financial questions were under consider ation. Now York deus not control na tional legislation ; neither does Ohio nor Pennsylvania nor any ether stale ; hut business has a voice when the money of the country is in danger of being tam pered with. The idea that the silver states aggregating - gating electoral votes equal to those of Now York and Ohio would equally in lluonco currency legislation is not sound. The silver states arc for frco coinage of. silver because it would bo especially profitable t'o them. They are endeavor ing to pi emote ah interest that is dis tinctly sectional from their point of view , and this fact would deprive thorn oi all moral influence upon public sentiment - mont in the country at largo. Electoral votes would not count for much. The party policy that ta shaped to win the electoral votes of section whoso inter est is not the common business interest of the country wjlljpnly rcHult in the be trayal and disappointment of those whose support is bought by such means. Of course the idea in the mind ot the speaker quoted was that both of the great political parties now shape their financial policy with the view of catching - ing the groitost number of electoral votes and that if a sufficient number of silver states would unite to make as many electoral votes as Now York and Ohio have they could bring one or the ether of the i.arties to their terms. This never can bo so long as the interests of business control the financial policy of the United States. TIIK DAltKKY IN THAT \rOODPILK. \ It is right and proper that the coun cil should exorcise duo vigi.ance and care in preparing its ordinance * for pav ing. If there were any defects or omis sions in the ordinances submitted by the paving committee through Mr. Spocht , Its chairman , it was right and proper that the council should rectify the mia- takes either in committee- the whole or by special committee. But every in telligent eiti m who has watched the proceedings of the council for the last four months in dealing with the paving specifications and contracts has reached the conclusion that there is a lilg darkoy In the wooupilo somowhoro. The pull ing , tugging and hauling back and forth has not been accidental. Every move boais the earmarks of contractors and contractors ) ' combine who seem to dominate the council and the Board of 1'ub'lo ' Works by turns. It Ims boon manifest all along , for in stance , that certain councllmon and Chairman Birkhausor are acting their patt for ono set of contractors while others aio trying to assist ether con tractors. Why , for instance , should Councilman Lowry attempt to substitute thirty-two paving ordinances of his own for these submitted by the committee on pavements ? Everybody knows that these ordi nances \voro not drawn by Mr. Lowry , but were doubtless fresh from the type writer of the paving contractor who wants to foist certain materials upon the city which 'ho can furnish at a greater prollt. Dpo.s it stand to reason that Mr. Lowry would employ an attorney - noy at his own Cfxponso to prepare an armload of paving prdlnancos ? It is manifest tlmt the men who are pulling tlio string from behind the screen are not op/jruting for their health or for the bonollt'of the taxpayers. KSVK WiCIlK KIUK The showing ml o by the Erlo canal for the months of May and .funo proves that the great waterway from Bulfalo to the seaboard is going Into a decline. In fact it has been declining for some years as a competitor of the railroads in the carrying trade , and it now looks as if the time might be close at hand when the grain produced by the farmers of the great west would go to Now York entirely by rail. This fact presents a grave problem It is almost certain that the railroads' will rcgulato their rates of transportation upon the basis of competition. Tlio Erie canal has for many years boon an important factor in the adjustment of freight rates from the west to the markets of the Atlantic sea board. But It now appears that the oa at , though still a competitor for the trade , is much less formidable In that respcot than it was foimorly. The shipments ot grain from Buffalo , thu head of the canal , uurlnp the month of Juno this year , amounted to only half the amount ot grain shlpm&nls trom the tame port by rail. Moreover , nearly the whole of the flour shipments wont ever the railroads , the canal iccolvlng but a small portion of this triido. Four years ago the ralhoads carried during May and .luno l,51l,0 ) ( ( l bushels of grain and the canal 10,684,740 bushels. The piopnrtlon has steadily changed in favor of the ruiltoads until this year the latter carried l-MGIo'.20 bushels and the canal only tl,7StOo ; ! bushels. The rail roads having terminals at Now York and Buffalo nro making a vigorous and do'ormlnodar upon the Erlo canal , and if the canal fails to receive the at tention from the state of Now York which It deserves and which the Inter ests of the pcoplo demand it will soon sink Into Insignificance as a common carrier. The railroads are practically monopoll/.ing the business , and sooner or later they will bo able to make their own rates if the canal ceases to compote with tliom for the western traffic. Of course this subject is ono of special interest to the friends of the Erie canal in tlio cast and to those interested in the railroads traversing Now York state. But it is also of some conscquonco to the western farmer. His Interests aroclosoly connected with competition upon the part of the canal and the railroads which connect Buffalo with the seaboard. It is a matter of tales of transportation with him , and competition will naturally govern these .rates. The ccst of trans porting the products of western farms to the eastern markets must necessarily govern their prlco and affect the prollts of the farmer. A Cl.lTlEtt. A Rood Jonl of resentment U cropping out lioro nnd there ever the pernicious activity of federal ofUclals in huh places in trying to boss and dictate stutu and congressional nominations. A prominent republican from the South I'latto who stepped in tlio city over tiumlny expressed himself without rcsorvoon this point. "Wo had this same tvouulo llflcoa 5'oars aRO and wo wore nil torn up ever the fedornl brigade intcrfeiitiR In our state and county polities. I remember Senator Mundorson nt Unit tunu was ojt- spokcn about this source of friction nml party dissension. It Is all right for fcdnral oflk'ors to ndviso when their advice is asked , to contribute whenever they can afford to do so nnd hole carry the ticket after it Is nnminntou. But tlio rnnk tmd tile of the party do not like federal ofllclals to pack caucuses , run conventions and dic tate nominations. They have had their ro- waid for party services and thov ought to bo content to push the wheels from bolund and not iirrogato themselves the right to run tlio whole party. It was all right enough for thcsu federal ofllciuls to taka aa interest In national conventions , for they are alicctly interested in the nomination of the presi dent , out It is not becoming , and is decidedly otTcnsIvn for them to make themselves so numeious when wo want to nominate sta'.o onicers and congressmen. " A member of the Satrosets whispered Into the oar of the Campaign CltUtcrcr last night that there was a bun on in the democratic camp. "Young Hitchcock" said thn brave , "is not a democrat even If he did go to Chicago cage with the Jacksoniana. Hitchcock Is playing n deep game. Ho is trying to boom Judge Douno for congiess , but tUo JuUco Is not a bonalldo candidate and Hitchcock Is merely using his name to conjure with.
