One of the great loaders of the poo-
plo'a party , who cultivates hi * farm
principally with the sumo implement
with which Samson Mow
* ft thousand-
Philistines , has lot the people into a
profound secret. The great political
clnirvoynnl and patent nlllanco Incuba
tor , McClure , hns unbosomed himself
and startled the whole civili/.od world
by a forocnst on the vice presidential
oloctlon. Mr. McClure fools in his
bones that General Weaver's loft bovver ,
ox-Ooiifodernto General Field , can road
his title clear to the vlco presidency for
the term beginning with the -Hh day
of March , 1S)3. ! ) This rem.irkablo rovo-
lalion rests upon the alleged discovery
of a patent buck and front notion dovlco
by which the selection of our next exec
utive may bo thrown into conuro s and
the scnato forced to rally to the third
party nominee. The house would of
course choose Grover Cleveland to the
presidency from among the throe oa.ii-
dldatos wlio had received the highest
electoral voto. The satiate , then , being
precluded by the constitution from HO-
locting Mr. Hold on account of his resi
dence in the same state with the presi
dent , would prefer Fields to Stevenson
and thus append the tall of tlio indepen
dent ticket to the democratic kite.
At lirst glance tins schema appears
vorv plnuslhlo and might , by the unre
flecting rondor. bo accepted as based
upon sound law. Hut a moment's delib
eration upon the constitutional provi
sions governing the election of president
and vice president in the United States
will show that the entire proposition is
utterly without foundation. In the lir-it
place the twelfth amendment to the
federal constitution governing the oper
ations of the electoral college , conlltios
its restrictions to the presidential
electors nlono. It roads : "Tho electors
shall meet in % their respective states
and vote by b tllot for president and vlco
president , ono of whom , at leust , shall
not be an inhabitant of the same state
with themselves. " This restriction does
not apply to the senators In case the
choiuo of vice president falls to that
body , for the reason that under those cir
cumstances the choice of president and
vlco president is olTectod independently
by the two branches of congress , neither
of which is assumed to know what selec
tion the other may make. Nor is it
true ns a matter of existing law that the
president nnd vice president must reside
in dilleront states , since the present
stntuo proscribing the order of presi
dential succession makes the various
members of the cabinet eligible to lill
vacanics , in which cnso both president
and vlco president might possibly hail
the same state.
There appears another kink in this
latest independent schcim1 , more fatal
than the lirst. It is this , that though
the house in balloting for president
vote upon the three candidates for the
presidency who hitvo received the high
est electoral votes , the senate in chosing
a vice president is con lined to the two
candidates highest on the list. Not
oven the most wild-eyed member of the
people's party will dare to claim that
Mr. Fields will bo ono of those. Even
should the election of the vice president
bo thrown to the senate , the only per
sons to bo voted upon would bo Reid and
Stevenson nnd of those Mr. Reid would
undoubtedly bo elected.
Under the circumstances , the device
of Mr. MeCluro shows its origin on its
face. No ono would presume to present
it to the public unless his Intellect were
befuddled by the hair-brained financial
fallacies which the , pooplo'a party are
trailing in their wake. The idea Is
legally impossible. Whatever , may bo
the result of the third party movement ,
wo are justified in giving expression to
our feelings that ' 'Mr. Roid'a election is
practically assured. "
COUUBltCIAL ItlVALS.
In a letter to the president of a re
publican club in Now Jersey President
Harrison wrote : ' 'Tho utterances of
European newspapers und Boards of
Trade very strongly testify to the fact
that our commercial rivals appreciate
the great strides which have recently
been taken in the development of Amer
ican trade and Amoric'in prestige. I
cannot but believe that those acts of
legislation and of administration which
nave attracted the observation and
envious criticism of our rivals will bo
approved by the American people. " The
conlldonco of the president in the dis
crimination nnd patriotism of the people
will , there is every reason to buliovo , bo
justillcd.
The commercial world is regarding
with eager interest the operation of the
policies , instituted by the republican
parly , under which the United States is
moving steadily forward to commercial
supremacy. Our chief rival , England ,
has been compelled to acknowledge the
menace to her commercial ascendency
involved in tno acts of legislation und of
administration for the development of
American trade. Her statesmen , her
press , and her commercial bodies , have
in unequivocal terms proclaimed thn
danger to her power in the world of
commerce from the success of the Amor-
lean policy , With greater force her depressed -
pressed and declining industries tell of
the ulTcct already produced by that
policy. .From her cotton and woolen
mills , her tin factories und other In
dustrie ! * , the complaint is hoard of re
duced production and lessoning prollta
Her great minufueturing centers nro
not BO busy as they were Uvo ye irs ago.
The American market wants loss of their
products because American nrimifautur-
era are nulo to supply the domestic de
mand. At the same time wo are com
puting fur a share of the trade of other
lands which has hitherto boon almost
wholly monopolized by European coun
tries. ,
The aggressive commercial policy of
the United States , amply vindicated In
what has been accomplished , our com
mercial rivals have spared no effort to
antagonize , but their liojm of defeating
It is not mi much in their own efforts us
in tho..success of the political party in
this country which is hostile to the poli
cies of pi election and reciprocity.
Therefore it Is that the English news
papers tire without exception on the
side of the democratic party and eagerly
hope'for itx success in the coining presi
dential election. The reader of current
evoutb has nut fullou to note the oxprus-
slons of those journals ntul to discern the
entirely gelds ! ! motive thnt .Inspired
them. They do nut husituto to deelnro
that British intorcstti would bo advanced
by the success .nt tlm policy advocated
by the democratic party , and It follows
that this would bo accomplished only at ,
the sacrifice of American Interests.
Whatever In our fiscal and commercial
policies has the effect to promote the
welfare of British Industries and ad-
vnnco British trade must inevitably
subtract from our own Industries and
commerce.
Intelligent men of all classes those
wl'o are influenced by facts and con
ditions rn th or tlrtn theories are learn
ing to appreciate the true character of
tlio situation so far as our commercial
rivals are concerned , and there ctin bo
no doubt that the number who approve
the acts of legislation and of adminis
tration which have attracted the ob
servation nnd envious criticism of such
rivals is steadily growing. The farmer
anil workingmnn. equally with the man
ufacturer , must see that British interest
In the success of democratic policy
cannot , in the nature of things , spring
Irotn nny regard for the progress and
wellfaro of the American nation and
pcopo. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The republic ins of Nebraska have
reason to bo hopeful and confluent.
With ono of the strongest tickets over
put in nomination in the state , n plat
form which every good citizen can ap
prove , and the conditions , national and
state , largely favoring republican suc
cess , the party in Nebraska ought to
win a sweeping victory , and with yroper
organisation and a vigorous campaign
it can do so. Not for aovcral years have
the republicans of Nebraska been moro
harmonious than at present or more do-
tormtnod to nchiovo victory. This is
evidenced by the tone of the party press
and by the expressions of loca1 lenders.
The opinion is practically unanimous
that the selection of Judge Crounso us
the candidate for governor was the very
best that could have boon nmclo , and the
more carefully his record and qualifica
tions are considered the stronger his
candidacy becomes , No ono will ques
tion his ability , and his character for
integrity nnd rectitude of purpose is an
ussurnnco to every interest that its
riirhts under the constitution and laws
of the state would have in him a llrm
and faithful guardian. Under his ad
ministration justice would bo done to all
interests to the full extent of the execu
tive authority. Judge Crounso is as
earnestly solicitous for the progress and
prosperity of Nebraska ns any citizen of
the state , nnd as governor his efforts
would bo directed to the promotion of
the general good.
The restoration of the government of
Nebraska to republican control is to bo
desired for ovary reason that relates to
the future growth and prosperity of the
state. Every intelligent and fair-minded
citizen will concede that the political
conditions that have prevailed here for
the last two or three years have been
damaging to the material interests of
the state. Some progress , it is truo/h-as
boon made in spite of them , but every
man of practical affairs knows that the
political change of 1890 had a decidedly
unfavorable olTect upon our prosperity
in curtailing investments , driving out
capital and chocking tlio inflow of popu
lation. The political element responsi
ble for this has not changed its prin
ciples and is again in. the field sec icing
control of the state government. Were
it to succeed there can-bo no doubt that
the consequences to the material in
terests of Nebraska would bo far mete
serious than two years ago , for such
success would bo accepted as an assur
ance that the people of this state were
hopelessly wedded to the wrong-headed
and impracticable views of the new po
litical organization. Such a conviction
obtaining throughout the country would
do moro than retard the progress of Ne
braska ; it would cause a retrograde
movement that would not halt so long
as the now party remained in power.
The campaign which the republicans
of Nebraska will boon inaugurate must
bo made vigorous and aggressive from
the opening to ttio finish , and the first
condition to this is thorough organiza
tion. There should bo no further delay
in organizing , for the opposition most to
bo feared is already actively tit work
and the time for making a stirring cam
paign will not exceed ton weeks. The
republican cause is steadily gaining
ground , bat It will be wise to open the
liirht soon ana vigorously at' ' along the

Upon a platform that was supposed to
monn nothing but an adjustment of the
tariff Mi1. Cleveland carried Connecti
cut by only IWO votes. Ho now stands
upon a platform that not only declares
boldly for free trade , but proclaims that
protection is unconstitutional. Not
only Connecticut , but all the manufac
turing stato-i of the.oast , nnd those of
the west that have important interests
needing protection , are opposed to free
trade. However loyal the democrats of
those states may bo to their party , their
business interests must overshadow all
others. The political history of this
country does not afford un oxf.option to
the rule that mon will always protect
their personal interests when they are
assailed , whether the aggression comes
from their own pirty : or another. Mr.
Cleveland does not stand for uny great
principle that appeals to the patriotism
of the people. In no respect does ho
represent Important public interests.
The peace und prosperity of the Amnrl-
can people are not menaced , and so Blon
der Is the excuse for u change of admin
istration that the democracy 1ft by no
moans united upon ltd platform of prin
ciples.
Those nro the conditions under which
It U claimed that Cleveland "will carry
certain doubtful states whoso chief In
terests are antagonized by his candidacy
its they never have boon before. In
public and lu private the sentiments
expressed by all who nro personally In-
turcatod in the protected Industrie * is
emphatically In favor of u continuance
of the present policy. And it In to bo

IKSSOXS or
Thostrlkoof the switchmen on the
Erie and Lahlgh Valley railroads ,
which was started In Buffalo and Is now
rapidly extending over the two lines ,
has already pyotluend serious consequences
quences , and promises to' assume yet
moro formidable proportions. In this
cnso thostrikers , seem to have taken no
time for deliberation. They mndo a
demand for Increased wages and then
proceeded to emphasize it by riots and
incendiarism. They have Inaugurated
a reign of terror in ButTnlO'by derailing
passenger trains and applying the torch
to buildings and cars , and they Iwivo also
assaulted the men who have boon em
ployed to take their places.
The striking switchmen may have had
just cause for quitting work , but in view
of tlie reckless course they h-tvo adopted
lo forcn their employers to surrender ,
the merits of their case will receive
little consideration. They are not only
guilty of criminal acts in destroying the
property of the railroad companies , but
thov have wantonlv and without a
shadow of excuse endangered the lives
ofpassengers who hnii nothing what
ever to do with the dispute botwcon
them and their employers. The people
not only will not sympathize with such
methods , but they will not tolerate
them.
The employes of corporations often
have just cause for complaint. Perhaps
the cause of the switchmen is just , and
if it is , it is the greater pity that they
have adopted a course that must cor-
tnimy alienate the public sympathy
which they would otherwise have re
ceived. They are the victims of mis
placed confidence , and when thay have
regained their senses they will sue that
they have boon deceived and misled by
false friends and foolish advisers.
The fact that tlio railroad business is
not a protected industry will bo Yleoply
regretted by 'the do'mocratio press.
There scorns to b no campaign material
in the switchmen's strike.

OMAHA is reported by the health

"Fairly good" is not good onpugh. As
a matter of fact there are portions of the
city to which this qualified description
will nut apply , and there is apparent
reason for the opinion that the inspec
tion service of the Board of Health is
not so general and thorough as it should
bo. Either there should bo moro inspectors
specters or those employed should bo
required to do moro inspecting , und it
would bo well to try the latter expedient
first. If moro money is actually needed
for health work , as the health o 111 cor
states , it should bo provided , as it is of
paramount importance that this work bo
