INSPECTOR WILSON scorns to have

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

THE wheat , oats , rye and barley of
Nebraska are making a reputation for

Corn is Htlll king In this state , but the

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

EOITOK CAHTUUllAiutihON says that
"Illinois Is a buttlo field \\horo victory

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.

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

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.

The outburst of Indignation in Canada

nouncing the Imposition of tolls on Canadian
Vdsjols passing through the Suult is wholly
uncalled for utid minor amusing. The United

to apply for lex Ulioms , nnd that in the very

why Canadn should have Imagliioil'that she

The llrst test in the states that nro safely
republican will occur early in September.
Vermont votes on the titli proximo , Mainu on
the second Monday. The last majoritv , that
of 1SSS , in stuto nnd presidential elections in
the former stnto was nbove L'S.UUO. in the lat
ter above 18,001) ) for governor and 23,000 for
president. The .expectation is that those
states will uphold thcso llguros.but the dem
ocrats will bo quick to derive encourage

wo xvcro ull tli ron yli that country ,
and foi thrco months remain ,
almost In the shadow of the Itlg Horn men
tilns. In ISUt ! I was tlio first white man wliu
attempted to settle there. I built a .sod house
on the Clear Creek forlc of Powder river ,
but was driven out uy tlio Indians. I wont
over to Tongue river and again attempted to
settle , but was ucain ordered out of the
country by the same band of Cho.vonnos.
"From there I wont lo the 13Ig Horn , to a
villuLro of Arapahoos and there 1 camped mid
tr.idod for a month. Then came the Hed
Cloud outbreak , in which the Arapahoes , j
Cheycunos and Sioux all joined , nnd
ray gooas were taken away from
mo and I was imido a prisoner.
1 was imprisoned in a topcu for thrco weeks ,
and tin ally ono moonlight , night I was led
out and turned loose to find my way nlor.o to
the Montana line as best I could. In 1831 I
oncuged In the cattle business up there , und
over since then I have boon Interested in and
about Sheridan , and have traveled over
nearly every 1'oot of that country.

"LURS than n week ngo I stood on the sum
mit of the Big Horn mountains with Mr.
Holdrcgo , inspecting the Bald Mountain
mining district of the Dig Horn. I bavo had
cloven years' experience ns u mining expert ,
unu spent n good share of the time prospect
ing on my own nccount. I panned
there for gold in several places ,
and every time with great success.
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. "Now , that
nil cnmo from ono cublo yard of the cement
reel : up there , and It is worth just $ li. ( That
roclccovers , n tract about twenty miles
square , nnd there is untold wealth there.
1 lull youthnt the prospect
for nn immense gold-producing camp
at Bald Mountain Is more than good , The
Fortunntus Mining company has just put. in
an amalgamator there costing $ -5,000 , and it
will commence operations September 1. Ono
of tnnlr boilers weighs U.OOO pounds , and
they bad to malio all there own roads.in
order to get tholr machinery thoro. I think
It probable that tlio whole problem will bo
solved Insldo of tbo next thirty days , and
there will bo a stampede to the Bald Moun
tain mining district , and you will see a good
many going from On.atia. Several good
quurtz lodes have boon discovered ut the
head ol Tongue river , nnd there is no
question but that It xvill show up a var
rich mining camp.

KOMI : , Aug. 3. Cardinal Lodoohowakl
has sent out his letter on schools to the
American blihops , apropos Iho Faribault

wishes uniformity of episcopal action und ,

cases ot Faribault nnd Stlllwater the practical
nnd Intelligent action ot Archbishop Ireland
had ii-isl.stod the holy.soo to seize the points
of the matter and ndviso the American
episcopacy tbciroon In n manner calculated
to promote uniformity of policy. The schol-
astiu future of the church In America is said
to t'upend dlrootly upon the American upls-
conacy.
The holy see , solicitous of the pncillnntlon
of the United Stales , 'or which Leo XIII.

question shall bo closed nnd Iho church bo nt
