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.

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.

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

The events which have transpired InVyo -
mine and Idaho thlsjear nro n partial con
firmation ot the fact that neither territoty
was prepared for statehood , that no fur
neither territory has the mentis within its
power to preserve order and maintain thu
dignity of n state government. In Idaho the

to work to obtain federal aid ; the Knowledge
had to bo telegraphed him from Washington.

como a slate in tbo union. Wo believe tlio

liec.iU'o tliicc-fourths of the population of
New Mexico are moiolittoboput out on a res
ervation than to tuku the part ol citl/uns and
electors in a sovereign"state. . They mo
simply Mexicans , most of them of the peon
stock , and know no more about unr country
than do the men across the llnoin Chihuahua ,
and wo do not believe the tciritorv has the
needed pioperty to support a state govern
ment decently. Further , wo believe if 100
would-bo oflico holder- , were to bo lomovcd
out of ttint territory , the people would bo
perfectly happy under n territorial form of
government and have no possible desire for
chanpo.
