INSPECTOR WILSON scorns to have discovered some abuses that need over hauling. The people will stand by him in his unveiling of extravagance and favoritism. SOMK of the candidates on the elec toral ticket of the Towa democrats are Bueh recent converts Hint their heads are Btlll sore with the memory of past republican conventions. THE First Methodist Episcopal church is to bo congratulated if It secures the nccoptanco of the call extended to Dr. Crane of Bloomington , III. , who la a young man of great force and of supe rior pulpit oratory. Ir GAS iNSi'ECTOH GH.HEUT has a contrivance to boat the gas motor ho has achieved a blessing to nil mankind. But \vo fear that it will have no olToct on that brand which Is so loud and | bold in the council chamber. Mit. HOLMAN has asked and obtained ' ton complimentary tickets to the World's fair.

The city should bo ex tensively and fittingly decorated. Wo nre all laborers and tulco great pride in the condition of labor in Nebraska and especially in this city. BY UKPKALING resolution No. 30 , passed last July , the council has abolished ished the ollloo of permanent sidewalk inspector. There novbr was as much need of such an ofllcor as there will bo for the next ninety days. THK interest which usually attaches to the Vermont September election , which occurs this year on the Gth , will lie somewhat weakened , If no't altogether pulverized , by a social event at Now Orleans on the same day. IT WAS a quite uropoaloroua Idea for the Now York World to doslirnato the Omaha Worlil-Jferuld as the repository of the western campaign boodle for Iowa. These Iowa democrats who road do not know of the existence of such a junior. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IT WOULD bo dlllicult to find a city which Is onjoylny more general pros perity than Omaha , Building is going on in all purls of the city , trade is in creasing In every department and holt ) is hatd to got. There la no luck of work nndory llttlo poverty. THE wheat , oats , rye and barley of Nebraska are making a reputation for themselves in the markets of the coun try by reason of their superior quality. Corn is Htlll king In this state , but the other cereals are pushing toward the front with rapid strides. IT is an unforturmio'lurii of affairs for democratic newspapers . /vhon they are compelled just now to praise President Harrison for his ringing. American , ro- Initiatory proclamation. But alas ! there is no cscapo but silence , and demo crats know nothing of that method of expression , EOITOK CAHTUUllAiutihON says that "Illinois Is a buttlo field \\horo victory may bo won or lost. " Thia umlnontly wise remark , uttered by a brilliant statesman , can , of course , bo applied only to Illinois.Vhat will happen to victory in ether states wo don't know , because Carter hasn't told us. DAN OAMl'liKLL has been nominated for congress by the pooplo's party and endorsed by the democratic party of the Eleventh Iowa district. Old Dan 1ms trod the diverse patli of Weaver ant waa a candidate for governor on tin greenback ticket u few years ago Monona county , his homo , soetns lo bo a very peaceful and uonalblo county , yet It lias not only Campbell on Its debit aide but bovoral ether more or loss conspicu ous freaks , including our owu John Jell- KXU OF TltK S\riTCH31KX'S \ ST11IRR. The switchmen's strike has ended In \\y \ \ defeat of the strikers , a result which vas foreseen by everybody who took an ntolligcnt vloW of the situation. Grant hat the men had u grievance nnd that their demand was just , when they rc- o'-letl to violence they damaged their case Irretrievably. A bad spirit has > rovnllcd from the inception of the trlko , the naifuilt oft Grand Master Sweeney being the shameful tormina- item of n record of violence which do- ) rlved the strikers of public sympathy. 5omo of the men are evidently oxaspcr- niod by defeat , nnd as many of them will jo unublo lo return to tholr old places urthor outrages are to bo expected. The railroads do not propose to reinstate the non , Who must make application for omp1oyinont < in the regular way , nnd It s not likely that any of thosa who have > eon guilty of lawlessness , and this is .ho . case with most of them , will bo .liken back. This strike caused n serious dornngo-1 nunt of business , a heavy , direct and 1m- nod into loss to the railway companies tnd to tholr patrons , and n largo ox- ) onso to the taxpayers for maintaining ho militia. Computing all things It ins been a very costly conflict and all hat the strikers luivo In return Is experience , which to many of thorn la ikoly lo proveblttor. . It has Its lesson or all organized labor , which Is that It cannot promote Its cnuso by breaking the laws and resorting to. violence , lowovor just and proper Its demands nay bo. The tendency that has re cently boon exhibited by labor to disro- pud the law must bo condemned by all jood citi/.otis. Such a course brings ro- iroach upon organized labor and injures ts cause. This occurrence suggests the question vhothcrit la not desirable to adopt some plan by which to prevent the stoppage of transportation either by the railroad companies or their employes. The pub ic service ronuorod oy the railroads is so essential to ( Jio interests and well- being of the wliolo people that neither , ho companies who manage them nor , ho populations who depend upo'i them or constantly needed transportation can i fiord to have their operation put at mznrd for any reason short of an ovcr- uling necessity. The transportation of passengers , malls and goods must not bo put at the hazard of stoppage when ever railwuy employes cannot come to in understanding with railway officials. The time Is coming when there will uivo to bo legislation that will compel the settlement of controversies between the railroads and their employes with out Interfering with the business of the oada , or what would perhaps bo still jotter , the regulation of the wages of such employes by law. The danger that at any time the business of tlio country may bo paralyzed by the stop page of railroad transportation , inlllct- .ng Incalculable Injury upon all inter ests , is a very s'erious matter , and if something is not done to avert it the country may some day have n very costly and troublesome experience" There is no valid reason why congress hould not regulate by legislation the employment , and wages of persons in the service of interstate ruilro-uls , so that neither the companies nor the unions would have anything to say repaid ing the matter of compensation and thus the cause of controversy would bo re moved. It is not easy to overestimate the importance of this matter of avert ing the danger of a widespread stop page of railroad transportation , with which the country has icon more than once threatened and from which it has just narrowly escaped. ANOTIIKH APPEAL FUR ttUODLK. At the request of James Gordon Bennett - nott Carter II. Harrison , editor of the Chicago Times , has contributed to the first named newspaper a long essay entitled - titled "Victory in Illinois. " It Is in many respects a remarkable production , but it does not by any means show that the democrats have a ohanco of winning In Illinois. Among ether things Mr. Harrison says : "All men respect nnd honor Cleveland , but ho has not en deared many men personally to his name. lie has not In the past shown winning ways.1' This is rather 'good , considering its democratic source. The writer also says : "But on the ether hand , Harrison has winning ways to mnkojnon like him. " Then in the next breath" the democratic editor says : "No republican over speaks with any warmth of either Harrison or Reid. All they can say is Harrison has given a clean ad ministration. " A little further on wo come upon this : "The cleanness of the last two administrations to n great ox' tent tcnus to repress any marked on thu slasm. This condition continuing will have a worse olToct upon the democracy than upon tholr opponents. Why ? Decorous qulotudo tends lo keep men in accustomed lines. " There are many quotable things in this extraordinary political essay , but wo full to see wherein it affords any 'encouragement to the democracy. The gist of the whole argument is that a cold campaign will irlvo the state of Illinois to Harrison and Ryld and that a red hot campaign will glvo it to Cleveland - land and Stevenson. "The national committee , " says the writer , "should look to it that from the opening of the campaign to the day of election the western prairies should hoar the rattle of musketry and the roar of cannon. " If this is tlio boat c ise that ciai ha made out for the domoeratu In Illinois the managers of that party would do well to tut n llioir attention to some other locality. If Mr. Cleveland is looked upon by the democrats of Illinois us a in/.n who "has not in the pas ! shown winning ways , " while President Harrison "has winning ways to ni'tko moil like him. " what is thu use In talk Ing about winning In that state by the rattloof mubkotry nnd the roar of can won ? If It Is true that "decorous quietude tends to keep men In ncaus lomed lines" why not let the ' 'decorous qulotudo" go on ? Nothing could bo better for the in to rests of business which are the prime Interests now tliuo "decorous quietude.1 ' The rattle of mubkotry und the roar of cannon cm fiorvo no good purpose. They meat absolutely nothing. The democratic party professes to desire u campaign o education. Its candidate U perpetually writing loiters In which ho roltcratos with tlresomu monotony certain sa o ( latitudes about the enlightenment of ho voters. Then why not adhere to the original plan nnd keep on trying to con vince the American ptnplo that free ratio is an unmixed blessing anJ pro tection a system of wicked robbery ? The true Inwardness of the plan of campaign to aiouso the western voters > y the rnttlo of musketry and the roar of cannon la exposed by the concerted olTort to ralsa a great corruption fund to bo Ir.vishly poured Into the coveted stales. Tlio democracy Is making the nistako of underestimating Iho inlolll- jencoof the American voter. A tlOXD KlKCTIOA' Wo doubt the wisdom of submitting any bond proposition to tlio voters of Omaha at the coming November oloc- lon. What with the electoral ticket , .ho . state ticket , the congressional nnd ngislatlvo tickets , the Board of Kduca- ton ticket nnd < the ward councllmoti Ickot , the voters will have a task that vlll severely tax tholr patience and toke up the full time allotted for every poli ng place and subdivision. Another and inoro cogent reason why 10 bond proposition should bo submitted s that no bona proposition la likely lo rocolvo two-thirds 61 nil the votes cast at the election. A presidential election always draws out a full vote. Thous ands of electors would omit voting on the bond proposition and every such omission is counlod the same as n vote against It und mint bo olTsot by two votes for it. It would bo n waste of money to advertise n bond proposition or thirty days when It Is manifest that ho proposition could not receive two- thirda of all the votes cast. If wo are compelled to raise any nonoy by bonds for city or school pur- > osos they will have to bo voted at a special election. The expense Of such an election can bo materially curtailed by reducing the number of p'olllng > liiccs. When there are only ono or .wo propositions to bo voted on which chielly concern the taxpayers fromtlireo to live polling placesto the ward would ) e ample and thus the expense for udges and clerks of election would bo educed by more than 60 per cent XO DOUI1T ARUUT TllUllt MKAK1AO. More than any ether man in his party Henry Wnttorson was responsible for , ho adoption of the free trade tariff plank , n the democratic platform ; Therefore 10 may bo supposed to represent the views of his party generally when ho says : "Down with the thlovlug duties it the custom houses ; down with the swindling reciprocity treaties ; down with the cant about the wage earners ; down with the fraud that taxes make wealth ; down with all the fallacies of pro tection , nnd up with the starry flag of the union , free trade and sailors' rightsi Mr. Watlorson ought to bo n pretty good authority as to what the demo cratic party moans by its platform ut- toranoos. Ho is an absoluo free trader and was the f ram or of the platform idopted by the Chicago convention. Only ono newspaper of prominence that is supporting Grover Cleveland has raised any objection to the radical views which ho expresses on this- subject , so it may reasonably bo assumed that they nro ncquiesecd In with practical unanimity all along the lino. Nor can there bo any doubt whatever that if the democ racy should gain the necessary power it would put this radical policy into effect with the utmost promptness. The ruinous consequences which would ensue from the swooping away of the present system , upon which the business interests of this country uro now firmly cstiblished , can only bo imiglned. The rampant free traders are In the saddle nnd the freedom with which they declare - clare their purpose to overturn the ex isting order of things removes all doubt as to what they mean by their opposi tion lo proteclion. Some have pretended that the democrats would no nothing more serious thqn to reform the larlff , moaning by this indollnito phrase that they would not proceed to extremes. But where Is to bo found any warrant for such a belief ? Not in the platform itself , nor In the public utterances of those who speak with authority for the democratic party. No man who has interests dependent oven remotely upon the prosperity of American industries and most men arc thus interested can look with com placency upon a movement so radical and possessing such great possibilities of harm. There IB no safety In placing the government in the hands of men who are so devoted to n pot theory that they would put It In practice with abso lute disregard of the vast interests which would thereby bo endangered. Mr. Wattorson's words should bo kept In uilnd by every voter. HOW CAN THEY SK'rTbK IT1 A meeting of citizens has boon called at tlio mayor's room Saturday to dis pose of the pending controversy over the union dopot. Inasmuch as the question * of depot bonds and title are pending in the courts and tlio mayor and council are enjoined by a restraining ordur from de livering the bonds or title deeds to the Union Dupot company , wo fail to see how the council can eottlo.tho depot question unless t'.io suit is withdrawn by bpth Sluht und Howe. There is no doubt that Stuht Is ready to withdraw his suit at any time. Ho has boon ready to do thia whenever the railroad people wanted It withdrawn. But Mr Howe Is absent from the city nnd If ho wcro hero wo doubt whether he would withdraw the suit unless ample guaranty is given to the city that the depot and bridge ahull bo mudo ac cessible to all rouds at reasonable terms in accordance with the contract made by the Union Depot company. - Tin ; couxrttrs That this is u bllllon-dollnr country la shown by the facts given In the statement mont of the secretary of the treasury , just mudo public. During the flscu' ' year which oudod Juno SO the exports of the United States , for the first time In our history , exceeded in value a billion dollars , an amount greater by a quarter of u million of dollars than the average annuul exports for the precedIng Ing ton years. The Increase is ac counted for mainly by the extraordi nary demand rojn Europe for broad- HtulTd , but thorotttus u considerable In crease In tlib" Exports of live stock , ' vhlch now , QQjglltuto ft largo nnd toidlly growlrib-item In our foreign commerce , ll "L J no to worthy , nlso , that .liero Is an improving forolgn marketer or our mamifaiJturop , the business of ho last llscu 'jjoir showing u heavy gain over tho'-average of the last ton oirs. < ' ' The stalomoiit.of the secretary of the rcasury clourlyullspoaos of the tuuiunp- lon that wo Wlftt buy In order to soil , vlilch Is ono otijt1o | [ arguments against the policy -protection. . The ft-ao traders maintain that If the products of ether countries are kept out of this conntry by a tarilf wo cannot sell to ether countries , but the experience of .he past your has been that while our mports declined our exports wore argor than over before. The argument of practical facts Is therefore conclu sively against the free trndo nssump- Ion. Like most of the ether nrgumon IB n opposition to protection It falls bo- ore the hard logic of actual experience , Hie simple truth is that other nations vlll buy of us according to their wants , regardless of our fiscal policy. If crops nro short in Europe the shortage will bo undo up by purchasing from the United Slates , and It is prob.iblo that there will never bo n time when Europe will not want our broadstulTs. European countries have about reached the limit of their productive capabilities , and indor the moat favorable conditions will perhaps novo'r bo able to supply , holr food wants. Wo need not , thoro- ore , trouble ourselves about the possibll- ty of u material decline In our foreign commerce , so far as broadstutfs are con- ccvnod , and there is every reason to ox- icct that as wo advance In mnnufactur- ng wo shall go on increasing our sales of manufactureu products abroad. It is ono of the effects of protection to stimulate the growth of industries , and , his has boon done by the existing tariff aw. Tlio statement of the secretary of the treasury says that the now in dustries started within the lust two , 'cnrs are giving employment to hun dreds of thousands of people , and this one fact justifies thu policy. The show ing as to the results of reciprocity is in iho highest degree gratifying. Our expert - port trade with the countries with which wo have reciprocity agreements increased last year over $10,000,000 , nnd it should bo said that most of these irrangemcnts have been in operation .ess than a year. When nil things are considered the' ' , gjiln made In our for eign commorcojwhich is directly trace- iblo to reciprocity is very satisfactory nnd gives assm-unco of much more valu able results hoi-cutter. " With such facts before them the th'oughtful people of tlio country will not accept the democratic view that reciprocity is u sham and a ' humbug. There could bo no stronger republican campaign argument than is presented in the figureso Sccretary Poster's state ment , and it appeals with particular [ orco to' ' the farmers of the Country , for It is the ngri ultjuru producers "who have 4boqn most turgely , boned ted by the increase of th'd country's'oxp'orts. . It is a forceful vindication of Hie policy of the republican party. TUB "Union Pacific shops In this city are turning out locomotives of the highest quality at n cost of 82,000 npioco less than the price that would have to bo paid for thorn in the oast. This proves that manufacturing can bo done as cheaply hero as anywhere. What the city needs is a greater number of courageous , capitalists to put their money and energy into important manu facturing enterprises. There is capital enough in.Omaha to meet all demands. Labor , both skilled nnd unskilled , can easily bo secured. A market that is us wide open to til is city as to any ether is not lucking. Energy and courage only are wanted. THOMAS UwjuciiiAn.

I bavo had cloven years' experience ns u mining expert , unu spent n good share of the time prospect ing on my own nccount.

Not n pan of dirt netted less than 4 cents , and thnt was at tbo toy of a gravel stratum , at 'grass root.1 Thnt gravel stratum Is snid to bo eighteen foot thick , nnd every ono of the gulches leading from Bald Mountain is full of that gravel , "Hero In this vial is an ounce of gold dust , " nnd the captain produced n quantity of the yellow stuff that seemed to weigh twice us much as ho said it did.
