* liY KXTKXSIVK CLAIMANT.
Thd leadership of the people's party
may bo divided into two classes :
Class I. Visionaries and rnttlo-brained
reformers who sincerely bollovo In the
doctrines sot forth in the cnizy-rjuUt
platform adopted at Omaha on the
Fourth of July.
Class II. Demagogues , mountebanks
and impostors , whoso solo aim and pur
pose is to rldo into power and place on
the tidal wave of popular discontent.
General Field , vice presidential can
dldalo on the people's party ticket , evi
dently belongs to class I. According to
Assoulated Press dispatcher the general
In very enthusiastic and confidently ex
pects to bo elected. Ho claims that his
party will break up the solid north and
solid south , the solid Grand Army of the
Republic and the solid negro voto. As
a basis for the faith that is within him ,
General Field declared that "tho now
party will carry every state west of the
Missouri river Colorado , Nebraska ,
Kansas , Nevada , Wyoming , Washing
ton , California , Montana and North and
Soutli Dakota. Then they will carry
one-third of the olontornl vote of Michi
gan , and in the south Georgia , Ala
bama , Texas , North and South 1'arollnn ' ,
and probably Tomiossoo and Arkansas. "
With an almost chlldllko candor Gon-
Flold looks hopefully to Iowa , because'
General Weaver hails from that state.
Now , lot UH see .what chimco the pee
ple's party really has to elect its presi
dential candidates. Suppose we concede
to General Field all ho claims and wo
have the following result :
Votes.
Alabama ,
ArUnnsiis ' . 8
California t
Colorado. , 4
Georgia. . . . . . . M

North Dakota fl
South Carolina' 0
South Dakota 4
Tennessee 12
Texas 15
Washington a
Wyoming 3
Total 137
Kecossar.v to n choice 223
Inasmuch as the people's party only
polled IL',000 out of over 400,000 votes at
the last election in Iowa , no sane person
would claim that Weaver could carry
that state in 1S92.
Instead of casting 137 votes in the
next electoral college It is exceedingly
doubtful whether the new party will cast
thirty-seven votes. They cannot possibly
carry California , Washington , Mo'ntana ,
North" Dakota , Idaho , Wyoming , Texas ,
Tennessee or Georgia , and their chances
of carrying Kansas , South Dakota , Ne
braska or the two Carollnas are very
slim indeed. But suppose they did
carry all the states that General Field
predicts they will carry , what would
they accomplish ? Nothing more nor
less than the election of Grover Clove-
land. Failing to carry a majority of tbo
electoral college they would throw the
election of president into the house of
representatives and the vice president
would bo elected by the sG.nu.to. In that
event the members of the present house
would vote by states , each state casting
ono vote , and iho candidate receiving
twonty-threo votes would become
president. Divided by states the
complexion of the house would
bo fourteen states republican and
thirty democratic and people's party.
At the very utmost only three of those
thirty states could bo counted on to vote
for Woavor. In other words , tlio demo
crats are dead sure of a majority of the
states if ever the election is thrown into
the house , and no possible combination
between the alliance members and re
publicans could prevent the election of
Grover Cleveland.
If General Field and his deluded fol
lowers really expect anything else they
are on the verge of insanity. The talk
of broakincr up the solid north and the
solid soutli and the Grand Army of tlio
Republic is the sheerest nonsense. The
north lias never been solid , the south
has never ceased to bo confod.-demo
cratic in national campaign years , and
the Grand Army of the Republic cannot
bo disbanded so long as any considerable
number of veterans who 'fought to save
the union shall survive.
ALh AllOUT THAT HUIIIttlliY.
A fowdays ago the Anglomanlac , beV
tor known as the Omaha World-Jfsi aid ,
charged that Governor McKinley while
in Nebraska received 93oO for every
speech ho mailo. After circulating that
baseless charge all over tlio country by
the domocratio United Press association
the World'Jfenthl has boon forced to re
tract the charge. But the campaign lie
is now fairly upon wheels and will con
tinue to revolve through ull the free
trade sheets of the country and bo turned
ever as a sweet morsel by the Grover
Cleveland worshipers of England.
The brn7.cn fake about Governor Me-
Klnloy's venality is followed up by an
equally barefaced assertion that tlio
MclCinley tarllT as applied to sugar im
ports andsugar bounties is downright
robbery. This assertion is inado in the
following language :
The proluo.oU'suiar trust will collect from
ttio Kuoiiio this year Its protection of cunt
per pound on 3,000,000 pounds of sugar ,
or $1B,000UOJ , to psy tUo "lUfforonoo In
wofeca. " Tlio totnl wajjos It pa.vs in under 14
cents per 100 pounds , or J5U 10,000 , loavintc
? I'IKJ'J,000 , wulob it steals from tbo mouoy
collected to pay its workman tbo "dllTorouca
in witgoi. " It ( 'ou Its labor froc of cost.
Tills Btntomunt boars the stamp of
falsehood and ignorance on its very face.
II it were true that the ugar trust is to
rocolvo ha'f ' a cent a pound bounty on
3,000,000 pounds of bugar , tlio total
bounty would only bo $1,800,000 , and not
$18,000,000. As a matter of fact tlio
total sugar bounty during the fiscal year
aggregates only $7,330,014. and of this
sum JO.STO IOO or moro than six-
sevenths wont to the sugar planters of
Louisiana. The romnliidor was paid as
a bonus to the capitalists wno huvo en
deavored to establish the bugar liuot In
dustry in California , Nebraska and
Soutli Dakota , Wherein does tills policy
of stimulating sugar Industry coiutltuto
a robbery of the jwopls , and whoroln cun
any opponent of this policy justify thu
ehiirgo that it tohj the worklngman for
Iho benefit of the ciiplt'ilistV .
Instead of incro.islng the burdens of
thoAmoricui people the snotion of the
McKlnloy tarllT rehtlng to sugar has
llflod a hoivv bu-don from their shoul
ders by cheapening the price of sugar ,
Up to within two yean the tax on sugar
amounted to no.xrly $1 a yo.ir for every
man , woman and chlla in the United
States. The MuKlnloy bill placed sugar
on the free list and r.nluooJ the prlco
from 0 cents to 4 cents a pound to tlio
consumer. A baunt.y of 12 cants a pound
was , itowovor , votoil by congress to the
sugar planters and boot sugar manufac
turers as an onrounigotnont to an indus
try that will in duo time supply the
American demand and keep at homo
from $ -50,000,000 to 300,000.030 a year ,
which wo now pay for sugar imported
from foreign countries. Without -tho
jugxr bounty it would ba impassible for
any sugar planter or bjot sugar maker
to moot the foreign competition. Gor-
manv , Franco and Austria pty a bounty
of nearly 2cont3 a pound to their ro-
rollnura for all the sugar they expert ,
and this bounty , together with the
cheaper Kuropoan labor , would bo an
otTochml bar against American sugar
production at 4 cents a pound. The
sugar bounty h not parpatual , however.
Under the McKinley bill it will expire
by the year 1803.
It is an everlasting disgrace to jour
nalism that any paper should stooo to
such impudent misrepresentation as has
been resorted to by our contemporary
for tlio sake of making political capital ,
and it is a sad commentary upon the in
telligence of our people Unit any person
or paper would dare to impose upon their
credulity with such baseless statements.
OttOPS a. > B TllADK.
The weekly trade review of R G. Dun
& Co. is no less gratifying this week
than last. When it is stated that crop
reports are not quite up to expectations
it must bo remembered that expecta
tions have boon very high and that re
cent reports of an unsatisfactory charac
ter , applying to < > v comparatively limited
area , may have been given more consid
eration than they deserved in making
up the averages for the whole country.
For example , it was announced only a
few days ago upon what apeared to bo
excellent authority that the Kansas corn
crop was almost a failure , and the report
immediately produced an effect upon the
market in Now York , but it is now
claimed that corn is doing very well in
Kansas and that the report referred to
was designed to inllucncu speculation on
the exchanges. Probably the truth is
that both the wheat and corn rumors
are to some extent designed to influence
the market. It has-been said that there
was a falling oil of 30,000,000 bushels in
the wheat product of Minnesota and the
two Duko'as , but it is now reported that
ttio crop in those states is good.
Tlio business situation is excellent
throughout Iho country. Manufacturers
are unusually busy and there is great
activity in all lines of trado. In Omaha
trade is reported very heavy and collec
tions never bettor , and prosperity prevails -
vails in all the western cities.
Tlio feature of the market that chiefly
interests the farmers of Nebraska is the
advance of 2 cents in corn during the
past week. This is a healthy sign , not
withstanding that the advance was pro-
'duced in part by the report from Kansas
above referred to. It shows that the
tendency of the market is upward at
present and that a largo demand for
corn is anticipated.

It Is safe to say that no western city
has a finer park system than that of
Minneapolis. Omaha is now doing
something in the way of public parks
and is taking Minneapolis as an ex
ample ; but the fact that wo have em
ployed a landscape gardener from that
city does not solve the park problem.
The citizens of Omaha who own lands
suitable for parks are not disposed to
donate them to the city as some of tlio
property owners of Minneapolis have
done. Moro than 8-10 acres of valuable
land lias been donated to the oity of
Minneapolis by citizens interested in es
tablishing a system of parks that will
rolled crodft upon the city. Minneap
olis owes nearly the whole of her park
system to the generosity of her citizens ,
and the amount paid 'or the purchase of
park property is very small. Moreover ,
these who have given land have also
paid for the improvement of the prop
erty and have footed the bills for pave
ments , gutters , boulevards and side
walks on the approaches thereto.
Of course , it will not bo supposed that
those citizens who gave lands for parks
and paia for the improvement of their
approaches were entirely disinterested.
They may have boon actuated to some
extent by local pride , but they know
that the parks would greatly enhance
the value of their adjacent property.
They have already reaped a rich re
ward , and in the future they will bo
still further benefited.
There is a chance for wealthy land
owners of Omaha to do something in the
same direction. The power of the Board
of Park Commissioners to purchase and
improve lands for park purposes is lim
ited , and the process of building up a
park system that will bo creditable to
the city will necessarily bo slow. Own
ers of lands available for parks could do
something for the good of the city and
at the same time put money in their
own pockets by emulating the example
sot by certain individuals in Minneapo
lis. Every park or improved boulevard
will certainly enhance the value of ad
jacent properly.
UKUTTMXa AMKIUOAN IXOUSTItV.
Tlio Omaha WorM-Jferald jubilates
ever tlio announcement that ttio Ander
son , Ind. , tin plato works have boon
closed by the shorlfV and the parties engaged -
gaged in tlio enterprise ) havosunK 80,000.
Why any American or any paper pub-
liahud In America should glo.it ever the
failure of any American industrial enter
prise passes our comprehension. It only
ahoW8 how depraved and unpatriotic
some people can bo when their political
prejudices got the bettor of thalr judg
ment. Suppose that every ono of the
100 odd concerns that are now embarked
in tin plato making in this country
should .bo closed out by the shorlll ;
would that fact bo a source of gratlUcu-
'
tlon to any loyal. American1 ! The fact
| that thoown-jt'ifbf the Anderson mill had
only invested § ) fiQ'J all In all shows that
\ It had littlu or 'lluuiioial backing , and
i therefore its fa\uro | \ from a luok of funds
does not provqillmt other tin plate mills
are doomed to jjo'iintothoshorilT's hands.
Our free tiMduncontemporary K < > 03 fur'
ther , howevoi'ililld seeks to bolltllo and'
ridicule Aniori&ln tin plato making by
suggesting thntillio N. & G. Taylor Co.
of Pliilidulpiii\'should ! | got that famous
113w factory in pporation before the tar-
HT is ropaiilcd.-rfFiiis is decidedly ironic.
It so happens , hotvovor , that tlio Omaha
free tr.itle gun is spiked by the Philadel
phia 7fcc.nl of tlio KUh inst. , which con
tains , under the head of "Twenty Thou
sand Tons of Iron , " the statement that
the Poltsvlllo Iron company is now en
gaged in supplying material for the tinplate
plato mill of N. & G. Taylor. The Phil
adelphia piper ill-question is the rank
est free trade advocate in Pennsylvania
and liDiico good authority as regards
manufactures In Pennsylvania. It is
not likely that Iho Taylor company
would b ? u heavy purchaser of rolled
iron for its tin plato n'ill li it did not
manufuaturo tin plate on an extensive
scale. The fact that a carload of tinplate
plato from the Taylor mill was received
in Omaha nearly a month ago would also
warrant the assumption that tin plato
making has become an American indus
try. It may not bo prolitable in the beginning -
ginning , but that has boon the experi
ence of nearly all American manufac
turing enterprises.
GHOVKII Cr.KVKijAKD has protested
somewhat vigorously against the tiso of
his wlfo'd name by the political women
who have been forming ' 'Influence
clubs" of a domocratio complexion , but
ho dons not object to the sale of his
wife's photographs for campaign pur
poses. In fact , it is bchovo'd that ho Is
responsible for the eighteen sittings to
which Mrs. Cleveland submitted in New
York the other day. The photographer
was authorized to sell the pictures , and
they will soon bo placed on the markot.
This is rather a disreputable kind of
campaigning , but tlio publlo will not
blame the lady in the case. She is in
fluenced by her husband. There can bo
no doubt that Mrs. Cleveland ia much
moro popular than her husband , and
perhaps the distribution of her photo
graphs may produce bettor results than
the distribution of Mr. Cleveland's lot-
tors.

The llerco indignation of the people of
Tennessee ever the commutation of Colonel
King's sentence is not a cause for special
wonderment. To admit the expediency of
capital punishment Is to accept tbo conclu
sion that tuu action of Governor Uuchatiiin
was a gross violation of justice. The killing
of Poston presented no palliating features.
It was a case of deliberate domicldo. The
tragedy was precipitated by the murderer's
inttdollty to bis own family. Tbo bloody
dead was clearly premeditated. It was high-
war assassination , pure and simple. The
death penalty is sanctioned by nubile senti
ment In Tennessee , and is authorized by the
statutes. Considering the law and the evi
dence in the ca o It.isdifllcult to see by what
process of logic executive clemency opened
up to King an avenue of 03capo from the
gallows. _

Fairmont Signal : These of us who nro of
the anti-monopoly olbnicnt of iho republican
party of Nebraska hnvo reason to fool os-
poclallv gratified with the action of the late
stnio convention In the nomination of Lorenzo
Crounso for tlio oflleo of governor. No man
could have been selected who BO well repre
sents that largo element of voters who not
onlv bollovo It the duty of the party to give
to the pcoplo relluf from corporate extortion
and oppiwslon , bur. further , that the party
can and will do so. LiironzoCrounso Is I ho em
bodiment of this sentiment , nnd Is tuornforo
In touch with what wo bellovo to bo n strong
majority of the republican voters , do
Is n man of the strictest probity. His
prlvato or ofllclal record has never
b on assailed. Never has .thoro boon n
shadow cast upon either ; nor c.iti there bo.
Years ago ho raised his voice in party coun
cils In opposition to corporate leeches who
were sapping the llfoblood of the party , and
demanded that men In sympathy with the
pcoplo bo brought to the front to man the
party ship. His volcn has over boon with
the people. Hut heedless of his warning nnd
that of his no-beliovors the party accepted
loaders who have brought upon It serious
criticism nnil loss. The nomination ofJudso
Crounso means thnt the anti-monopoly element -
mont In the p.irty hus At last assorted its
strength nnd the muss of honest , intelligent
voters have control of the ship. This , wo
'
sav , Is especially gratifying. It'orguos well
for the puny nnd for the stato.

Headers of Tnr. Bun nro fnmlllar with the
attitude of ox-1'roMdont Cleveland upon the
subject of pensions to union vutor.ins. They
remember the slurs ho cast upon many
worthy applicants , and that his pension
vetoes were endorsed by every southern
brigadier in the house of representatives ,
They also know thnt during his term
Cluvo'.nnd vetoed 5''i pensions to union veter
ans , whllo President Harrison ha votooJ
very few , If any.
The following Information Is reproduced
from an uuthorltatlvo source. It U full of in
terest :
When the Flfty-nrst congress mot the re
publicans addressed themselves nt once to
thu redemption of their promise , approved l > v
the people , to enlarge the pension roll. Thov
did this In an act which has afforded relief
to nil honorably discharged soldtnrs nnd
sailors whoso sorvlco continued for ninety
days nnd xvho nro today in wnnt because of
any physical disability" , whathor that disa
bility was contracted in the service or not.
The theory of this law is that thn man , or
the family of n man , who risked his life In
battle in the defense of the union , ojgbt not
to bo allowed now lu hU old age to suffer
fur the necessaries of life by reason of a
physical Inability to earn n living. Thu
widows ot all soldiers and sailors who
who are today dependent , upon
tholr own laoor lor bupport
are Included In the provisions of tins now re
publican law. It will udd to thu pension rolls
us many as IIOD.OOU mimes , and It will Uuvoto
to the relief of thnt number of pensioners
about &i3,0iu,00i ) ) . This net completes the
record of republican legislation In pavmout
of the nation's highest debt , of honor. From
thU tlmo forward txvo dollars out of overv
ilvo collected by the government will
bo devoted to the care and relief
of union veterans ami their dependent
families.
Our pension system as It now exists xva
built up botwoou tbo yuaw 1JSOJ and IS'.U.
Sixteen great nets have been passed , Includ
ing the ono just mentioned. Every one of
tluiin was n republican measure. Evorv law ,
every section , every line , word nnd syllable
relating to pensions in thn revised nuilutos
of lt > 7l were enacted by republican con-
cresbos and approved by republican presi
dents. Since that tlmo nnd until the pas
sage of the dependent pension bill in the last
congress , onlv. ten measures have been
enacted. The first WHS u law affecting onlv
about 3UO claimants , nllowmg separate unit-
sions for the lo s of botn a hand nud n foot.
The second allowed pension to disabled
soldiers In certain cases , notwithstanding
the fact that thov hud engaged In re
bellion against the United States. The third
was an act , so amending the republican law
by which veterans of iho Mexican war were
pensioned , ns to make It apply also to these
veterans who baa afterwards taiton up arms
uguinst the union. Thu fourth pensioned
a lieutenant commander in the nuvv the
same as n llntitonunl commanding. The llfth
llmltfad the foe of claim agent * to S10. The
sixth Increased from $50 per month to STJ
the pension of veterans who hud lost both
bands , both foot and both oyoa. The
seventh was an act providing throa months'
extra pay for Mexican veterans. Tno
great bulk of those who protHod by
this act were southern men and ox-
robels. The eighth was the nrroara act.
The ninth was the Mexican war service pen
sion ; and the tenth was the widows' Increase
bill. Of these ton acts only Ilvo have any
general application , and three of the live ap
ply to the Mexican war and wcro applicable
chlclly lo the south , nnd chiefly in favor ot
men who had engaged In rebel service , ft Is
needless to say tiint most of these luws were
passed by domocratio congresses ; nnd when
the democrats talk of their great additions
to the pension law of the land , these nro the
additions they speak : of. tlow fur tl.oy af
fect union veterans , or rather how little , is
obvious. The arrears net nnd the widows'
incToaso bill wore undoubtedly excellent laws
anil most helpful to union veterans , The
arrears net enabled thu soldier to secure bis
pension from the ditto of hU discharge. It
was Introduced by n republican ; it wus put .
upon Its passage by u republican , und was I
passed with the following record : Democrats j
for the bill , US ; democrats against the 1)111 ) , I
01 ; republicans for the bill , 110 ; republicans
against the Dill , none.
Too widow's Increase net Increased
widows' pensions from $8 lo $13. The demo
crats filibustered against tbo amendment
proposed by GeneralBrown , republican , re
pealing the arrears limitation , and would
not allow it to bo acted upon , and upon the
final vote this record wus made : Democrats
for the bill , 80 ; democrats against the bill ,
( XI ; republicans for the bill , 118 ; republicans
against , the bill , nono.
Of the slxty-alx democrats xvho X'otcd
ngalnst iho bill all but txvo wore from the
south.
This does not by any moans toll the xvholo
story of democratic hostilities to the soldiers
and sailors of the union. Cleveland's vetoes
are still to ba considered. Such n tyrannical
inlsusoof the vote poxver us Cleveland wus
guilty ot xvas never knoxvn In Ameri
can history. Tbo right of vote xvns
ledged In the executive , as the
frnmors of the constitution unanimously
nisortod , not for the purpose of defeating the
congressional xvlll , out for requiring that
thnt will should bo exorcised only in xvnya
hnrmonlous with tlio constitution , From
