THE great distinguishing difference between the campaign of thly year nnd * lhatof 1890 is that facts will influence rotors this year , not lies.

THH hKTIKll OF ACCKITAXCK. President Harrison's loiter of accept- nnco will bo road by republicans with n keen scnso of gratification. It is an nhlo , straightforward , candid presenta tion to the country of the republican position on every question of public in terest. It deals with actual conditions , and Us slnlotnort',8 and arguments are so plain and lucid that every voter can understand them. The president is not vnguo or equivocal or abstruse. Ho ap peals to the comprehension and judg ment of nil the pooplo. President Harrison discusses the dem ocratic-proposition to restore the state hank currency and points out the evils that would result from that policy. Recalling the oxnorlonces when wo had thin form of currency nnd when "a money changer's ofllco was the familiar neighbor of the ticket ollico and the lunch counter , " the president expresses the opinion that the people will not. consent to the reactionary proposal rnado by the democratic party. Presi dent Harrison takes a very positive position in the subject of restoring the country's merchant nmrino. Ho regards it as u matter that touches not only our pockets J > ut our national prldo. Ho points out how entirely our people are at the mercy of the foreign ship ownora , * and thin not alone in a commercial way. for every steamship coming Into our ports from Europe may bo used by tha European governments in time of war to destroy our commerce. Wo are thus paying a vast , sum annually to maintain lines of steamships which may at any tlmo DO utilized to our great in jury. The president says that inas much as European governments in part sustain steamship lines by direct or in direct government aid , this country must adopt a similar policy in order to build up a merchant marlno. On the subject of reciprocity the pres ident spunks in no uncertain language. Ho regards it as a policy that will prove of great and porni'innnt bonoflt to the farmers and manufacturers of the coun try. Wo have only begun to realize the benolll , of thosotrado arrangements , says thu president , \ > ut the results al ready attained are such as to establish in particular favor the policy of recip rocal t"adoblsod'upon ' the free importa tion of such articles as do not injure by competition the products of our own farms , mines or factories , in exchange for the free or favored introduction of our products into other countries. President Harrison pointedly remarks respecting the democratic proposal to repeal the tarilT law , including the recip rocity inovision , that if no other issue were involved in the campaign thisalono would give it importance. ' 'Are the farmers of the grain-growing states , " asks the president , "willing to surrender these now largo and increasing markets for their supplies ? " Undoubtedly the nearly universal answer will bo that they nro. not. The president discusses with great force the policy of protection , vigorously pointing out. . the dostructiyo character of the democratic doutrino as enunciated in the national platform of that party. The appeals of the free trader to the worklngman , says the president , nro addressed to his proju. dices or to his passions ; "Our natural advantages , " says the president , "our protective tarilT and the reciprocity policy tnalco It possible for us to have a largo participation in thu markets of the world without opening our own to com. petition that would destroy the comfort and independence of our nation. * ' Regarding the curency the president expresses the conviction that "tho free coinage of silver at such a ratio to gold as will maintain the equality in the commercial uses of the two colnad dollars lars would conduce to the prosperity of all the great commercial nations of the world. " The president gives brief at tention to the subject of honest elec tions nnd suggests a nonpartisan com mission to consider the subject of ap portionments and elections in their re lation to the choice of federal oflicors. The president concludes his very excel lent letter by pointing out the injury certain to result to the business inior- osts of the country from a change of ad ministration that would substitute for the safe and progressive policy of the republican party the program of re action and demolition proposed by the democracy. EM1GIIANT There will bo very general approval of the views of President Harrison rc- gardirg the nocossit- for a careful dis crimination among the emigrants seek ing our shores. The president says wo do not want and should not receive those who , by reason of had character or habits , are not wanted at homo. "Tho industrious nnd solf-rospoctlng , " ho says , "tho levers of law and liberty , should bo discriminated from the pauper , the criminal and the anarchist , who como only to burden and disturb our communities. " . This ! s the correct position , but wo observe that there is a disposition to take ad.vantago of the cholera excitement - mont in order to create popular senti ment against immigration. Tlio east ern newspapers , which never lot go by an opportunity to uncourago hostility to Immigration , are expressing the hope that the action of the government in practically suspending immigration will prove to bo the forerunner of a permanent - nont policy. Ono of these journals re marks regarding thp order requiring vessels to bo quarantined for n period , of twenty days , In cases where there Isovl- donco of cholera , that so long as this arrangement shall continue "it will Illustrate and exemplify u condition which , in n. loss severe form , the coun try would llko tOBOobecomo permanent. It will omphaulzo the duty , If not of prohibiting , at least of more thoroughly regulating and restricting hnmigra- ion. " In assuming to npoal : for the country In this matter our eastern con temporary takes uponttsolt an unauthor ized responsibility. There is no de mand In the great west , where indus trious , thrifty and law-respecting Imnil- grants are still welcomed , for a perma nent application of vho roalriction wisely Imposed upon immigration in the pres ent oxlgonoy. The people of the west roeognino iho good judgment shown by the president in making summary pro vision for keeping cholera out of the country , ml they would approve of an ubsolulo prohibition of immigration. while the dnngor continues , if that wcro doomed by the government to bo neces sary in order to protoclour people from n cnoloni invasion , but they would do- maud that the procttitlon should not oxtcnd beyond the period of danger. President Harrison has rightly ap- prohondc'd the Intelligent public opin ion of the country on this subject. Wo do not want pcoplo whoso ch .ractor or hnblta nro such as to have rim do red them objectionable to thulr own coun trymen , and every practicable provision should bo made u > keep such people out of the country. Existing laws amply provide for tholr exclusion nnd they nro being well enforced. Nothing moro Is necessary or to bo desired , There Is still room enough hero for everybody who may como with a purpose to work , to contribute to the material dovolop- mont-of the country , to obey the laws and to conduct themselves us good citi zens. "Tho levers of law nnd liberty , " as Presldont Harrison putsIt , will still bo welcome to our shores and there IB no danger that the number of such who como hero will bo too groat. The wostnnd the south needs thorn and will find usn for thorn for many years to como. On this subject the president , Is sound and in touch with the intelligent sontiinont of the country. XKIZUHK OF T//B GIUtKHT IShAXVX. The Boi/.uro ny Great Britain of the Gilbert islands , ono of the moat import ant groups in the south seas , is described by the correspondent who witnessed the proceedings as having boon effected in the most high-handed manner. Al though It is not claimed that any Ameri can rights have boon violated by the seizure it is nevertheless true that several American niti'/.ons who have Invested tholr money extensively in business onturpriscs there are likely to see tholr trade seriously Injured in con- soqtionco of the establishment of the English protectorate. The excuse given by the naval officer who made the seiz ure was that a Chinaman , who was n British subject , had suffered some wrong for which ho had boon unable to obtain redress at the ha'nds of the native king. It is believed however , that the Cict that the king had appealed to the government of the United States for pro tection from Great Britain was the real cause of Iho action of the lattor. The chief product of the Gilbert group is cocoi , in which a very largo and valuable trade is carried on. The American government has not coveted these islands nor made any movement whatever toward taking possession of thorn , but American interests were rap idly growing thoro. The seizure of the islands by Great Britain is in line with her policy of greed , and while there may have boon a faint shadow of excuse for the action ik was not based upon justice or necessity. Sl'EKO UN HAlbllOADS , A writer in the Engineering Jl/iH/aztne expresses the belief that "thoro is no inherent mechanical reason why wo should not , on absolutely clear strotchns of track , obtain a velocity approaching 200 miles an hour , " the propelling force being the electric cdrront This dream of fabulous speed for railway trains is indulged ic by rnauy people , out the idea is not so popular with the general traveling public as it is with the theor ists themselves. Moreover , it is yet an open question whether it is within the limits of possibility to attain anything like the speed which this writer sug gests. Not long ago n distinguished English engineering authority entered into a somewhat elaborate and very plausible argument to prove that a speed above eighty miles an hour was impossible , for the roasoikthat no known metal or composition could resist the heat that would be generated In the journals under the cars. It was claimed that such rapid revolutions of' the wheels as would bo necessary to the attainment of the great velocity talked of by the theorists would simply molt ho boxes and result in disaster. But whether such speed is possible or not it Booms hardly practicable , and ns travelers are few whoso necessities would ever bo urgent enough to induce them to patronize a train running 200 miles an hour it is not likely that such speed will bo witnessed. It remains to bo demonstrated that electricity is a safer motive power than the steam loco motive now In use , though its possi bilities of speed are much greater. The expense of running fast trains is enor mously in oxcobs of that of running the trains at ordinary speed , and the traveler who wishes to ride on the "livers" is usually required to pay extra for the privilogo. As the tendency of the time is toward ohoapnoss it is doubtful whether public patronage of trains run at lightning speed would ever bo sufllciontly liberal to make thorn practicable , taking into consideration the great cost which they would entail upon the railroad.companies. It is often argued that itis as safe to travel 100 miles an hour as fifty , but very few people can bo made to bollovo It What the traveling public wants is careful and Intelligent management of the train soryico , us it is moro desirable than such prodigious speed as some of the theo retical engineers are now contemplating. WHUNEVEH any of our people who have boon away from homo on a visit to eastern or western ultlo's .the thing that most forcibly striken thorn on tholr ro- 'turn to Omaha Is the unsightly and promiscuous polo nuisance. There is not another city of 25,000 pcoplo or moro on the face of the glebe that is so dis figured by a horrlblo network of whos nnd poles long poles , short poles , crooked poles , unpainted poles nnd untrimmed - trimmed polos. And the few that have been painted are oven moro unsightly than these that have never been touched by the brush. This Htuto of alTalra should not bo permitted to continue. It would not ho submitted to in any other city and why should It bo In Omaha ? AT THIS season of the year the job bing business of Onrihtv usually begins to show great activity in consequoiico of the approaching fall trado. In midsum mer business commonly becomes slack nnd therefore it fools the stimulus of the fall buying , so that September brings n decided boom. This year , however , the jobbing trade of Omaha hua BiilTercd no falling olT during the I summer inonth , § , and the local merchants * chants say that Ahoy cannot sco how it can possibly WLMsttor than it has been. The pcoplo hajj < J ! > eon buying steadily , nnd while U isjiftrohabio'lhat the fall trade will bOj 'sSmowhat in excess of that of the hoa ) term It will not take the form of a Ixinm. This Is exactly the stiito of afTalraiflKl suits Iho merchant. Ho Is never so-aprosporous as when ho has iv stoadyV" < JVoti-ricod trade , free from the llu fi tlons which cause un certainty. The/business men of Omaha are well ploasWlHvlth the condition of trade , and that liglng thoci so all classes have ronson to bo contented. THE oxtonslvo transaction by which n valuable mining property fn the Bild Mountain region In the Black Hills has passed into Iho hands of an. English syndicate may roiult in the rapid de velopment of n territory that has boon Inviting capitalists to invest for some tlmo past. As. the region la within easy roach of Omaha and forms part of the natural territory of our jobbers , Its development , will bo an adv.intago to this city. THE nudtonco that hissed , the Ameri can flag In a Montreal th'cator must have labored under the impression that war has boon declared between the United Slates and Canada. Will the Canadian tories never learn that they only bring contempt upon themselves when thoy.lnsult the Stars and Stripes ? The matter may not bo very forious , but it affords an illustration of the bad manners of a certain class In Canada. IT WILL bo embarrassing campaignIng - . Ing for democratic orators in York state this fall , when their platform rant about "the increased burdens laid on the workinginon by the McKinley tarilT" is confronted by tholr own demo cratic figures proving an increase of ever SO,000COO in wages in that state alone. It will require moro shrewdness and dexterity than they possess to got around that dilemma. Tiiuiti : is no paragraph In the presi dent's letter moro frank , honest , impar tial nnd clear than the ono on silver. Ho affirms his position that moro silver is needed nnd will bo used moro and more , but only when bimetallism is rec ognized by the entire world. This Is the only sensible vlow on the subject and It is fair to all interests. There ought to bo no silver nonsense in the wcstorn stntos now. ' ' SciitomiiegSlgiin of Victory. John A.
