MILLUU'S .observa tions on wheat raising in Nebraska are sensible and timely. This fall ought to nlTord farmers of this stale an excellent opportunity to sow a largo amount of winter wheat , with all conditions of the coil favorable for splendid returns at harvest time. Tine condition of Omaha's board side walks Is disgraceful on some streets , and U is an example of providential care that broken limbs are not nightly oo curroiu'fis , and the city tro.isury con- btantly called upon to ay for Iho same. Thbro are a great many loose planks in the citv's sidewalks. Fitojr a casual ro'idingof ' democratic opinions wo are pained to discover that in none of tliom do wo find hourly ap proval of Harrison's lotlcr of accept ance. This is astonishing when wo consider the zunl they have previously exhibited in applauding all his lellers , speeches and messages. TIIK tobacco crop in the Connecticut valley this year is10 per cent larger than ever before , not because the yield per acre htis been greater , but because the McKinley law encouraged extensive planting. This is only ono of many in stances in which protection bus im mensely promoted American produc tions. No MP.Jinnu of Iho state central com- tnlttco or of the county commltoo should bo a candidate. A man cannot servo two masters successfully at the same time. A man who Hooks an election at the hands of the people is necessarily compelled to devote his entire time and energy lo his own candidacy. His own interest will nearly always clash with that of olhor men on his licket and the result is usually far from satisfactory. TIIK friends of Mr. A. P. Tukoy have induced him to bccotno a candidate for the oily council' . Mr. Tukoy is an old resident of the Fourth ward and very largely inturratcd in Omaha real estate. Ho is not a politician and bus no rela tions with political cliques and factions. Ills candidacy should moot with favor at the hands of republicans who uesiro the ward ptoporly ruprcsented in the coun cil. TIIK recent suspensions of Brillsh building associations Involving liabil ities of &tO,000,000 were very disastrous to many poor people ot London and Eng land whoso life earnings are thus nuopt away. Just at this lime , wnon English labor is in tuioh a mborablu condition because of the MoKinloy law. this sus pension will pteduce general alarm and despair. No dishonesty is alleged , 'nit ' poor mnimgomont , which , of course , does nut lift the burden from the suf ferers or in any way decrease thoitv-mis ery. TIIK HICK bus undertaken the task of telling the people whore dirt and filth m > -t abound. There are disease-brood ing holes that disgrace ' .lie city and are u menace to public health. They must be abated at all events. The Ho.ird of Health bus ordered many of these ulrors removed but the instructions have been ignored. The police doparunonl should be aulhorizod to unfoico the onlois of th i Hoard of HeiiUh and dty council. There are many householders who do nut know the danger to health of unclean promises , and there are many who do not care to know. This itlas * particular' ly needs the tittontlon of the police. A few woll-doborvud arrests will have a hulutary ulToct upon slothful and blovuu- ly citizens who have not yet learned the uierlU of Boapand water. l'HAISI\a "T1IH 1-nUWKIi" ATTACKING TllH Jt'lHW.

Up to this time wo Imvo re frained from giving publicity to many transactions on his part as a lawyer and as a business man which boar upon his integrity.

A ntoGHAM oi" K. n/rno.v. ) For more than thirty years every policy and purpose of the democratic p.irty has "boon reactionary. During all this period that party has antagonized everything which the progressive spirit of the tigo demanded and which the re publican party has accomplished. It denounced as unconstitutional the finan cial policy made uceess.xrv in order to carry on the war and did all in its power to damage the credit of the gov ernment during the contester the preservation of the union. Jt bitterly fought the acts of reconstruction. It opposed the amendments to the consti tution made necessary by the changed conditions resulting from the rebellion. It bus favored every financial heresy and vigorously antagonized the re sumption of specie uuyiuonts. It has unceasingly opposed the policy of pro tecting American industries and Ameri can labor , though It has never before gone so far in this direction aa now , with its Declaration that protection is unconstitutional. In n word , every policy and principle advocated by the republican party as necessary to the strength and security or the govern ment and the progress and prosperity of the country has found an earnest and persistent opponent in the democratic party. - The present position of the democracy has boon well characterized , as a pro gram of demolition. "The protective policy , " said the president in his letter of acceptance , "to which all business , oven that of the importer , is now ad justed the reciprocity policy , the new merchant marine , are all to bo demol ished not gradually , not taken down , but blown up. To this program of de struction it has added one constructive feature , the re-establishment of state banks of issuo. " No more forceful state ment could bo made of the present atti tude of the democratic party and it is an attitude in the main entirely consis tent with its past course. Its plan of "reform" consists in undoing everything that has boon done for the upbuilding of the nation during the past thirty years. It would destroy protection as being un constitutional ; it would do away with reciprocity bec.iuso that policy stands in the way of free trade ; it doss not want a restoration of the merchant marine for the reason that that would enormously increase the ship-building industry and ndd a new force favorable to protection ; it would radically change the financial system of the country by restoring the "wildcat" and "rod dog" currency that circulated before the war , causing immeasuroable loss to the muMPS of the puoplu , and by instituting the free and unlimited coinagoof silver. The record and the avowed principled of the p.irty permit no doubt that this reactionary course would bo pursued if the democracy wore given control of the government , ll would not halt until every republican policy under which the mil Ion has grown and prospered was overthrown. The financial and business affairs of the country would bo forced to readjust themselves to now conditions , und every praotio.il man of Intelligence will understand what this would moan. It would result in such a business con vulsion aa the country has never Been , bringing disiihtor to millions of people , from which it would take years to ro- covor. Faith in the Inlolllgonco mid patriotism of the American people war rants the bollof that they will not olo- v.ito to power In this year of lurpo and growing prosperity the p.irly of demoli tion. A CO.V.VKCr/O.V WITH innUTll. Undoubtedly there will In time bo n direct railway connection between Oinnha and Diilulh. That such a con nection would bo greatly to the advan tage of this city and to the agricultural Interests of the state is capable of dem onstration. It would olToct a cheapen ing of transportation to the east for the products of Nebraska. From Omaha to Dululh Is about , the same distance as from Onmlm to Chicago. it Is the opinion of disinterested railroad moti that a line can bo constructed from this city to the Minnesota lake port for much less thiui the cost of any line now used between Omaha and Chicago. This , with the loss costly terminal expenses as compared with Chicago , would enable freight to roach the eastern markets without having the charges consume the larger portion of the market price in the east. Whatever saving can bo olfoclcd In freight on tlio products of Nebraska is BO much gain to our pro ducers. A railway line that would ron- dur Omaha practically independent of Chicago , instead of being , as now , trib utary to that city , it is reasonably be lieved , would materially enhance the value of all the exportable grain of No- braska. Another consideration in favor of such a connection is that it would give Omaha access to a splendid lumber district from which it could obtain supplies at consid erably loss cost than now , enabling this city to very materially enlarge its lum ber trade ! At the same time there would bo found in this a new and valu able market for Nebraska products. There are still ether practical consider ations which make tills matter one of interest to Omaha. The terms of tlio grant to the Nebraslcr. Central railway include the building of 100 miles of road in Iowa , anil it has boon sugcostod that this should bo extended to Duluth. The suggestion Iui3 much to commend it , as already indicated , to the serious atten tion of local capitalists interested in the progress of Omaha. There appears to bo no question as to the practicability of making such a connection between Omaha and Duluth , ami there are ex cellent reasons for believing that It would prove to bo a profitable invest ment. 'IllR I'T.KA OF TIIK COAh HAHOXS. The testimony of President McLood of the Heading llailroad company before the senate committee appointed to in vestigate the operations of the coal combine was an elaborate and carefully prepared statement , road from type written copy. It does noU appear that the great coal baron was subjected to cross-examination nor that ho suffered any of tlio embarrassments which so often disturb the equanimity of wit nesses. Ho was permitted to present his careful and shrewdly constructed argument in his own way , and it would bo an injustice to him and to his schem ing associates in the anthracite deal to suppose that the testimony in belrilf of the coal robbers was not plausible. Tlio substance of Mr. McLcod's argument was that restricted production was ab solutely necessary in order to guard against a irlutted market and low prices. "Tho fact is , " ho said , "that the capac ity of all the collieries in existence today is equal to the production , if kept run ning constantly , of 53,000,000 tons , whereas the market will take but 40- 000,000 tons. The Philadelphia and Head ing Coal and Iron company has in store today at the various points of distribu tion throughout the country nearly 1.250.000 tons of coal on hand to go to the consumers when they are ready to take it , and yet the capacity of the col lieries is so much greater than the de mands of the market that wo have boon obliged to suspend the operation of them three days every week for the lust three months. " Tills statement may bo true , but it will not excite the sympathies of coal consumers. If the combine has really produced more coal than the people will buy , it should boar the burden of its own error instead of making the consumers boar it. It is probably true that the coal barons , in their greed for -grtttr lmvo overestimated the forbear ance of the puolic. They have made the price of anthracite coal practically prohibitive , and the consumption has , therefore , been greatly reduced. If another dollar per ton should bo added to the present price , the combine would have still further complaints to make of the surplus on hand. It is a well known fact that in the west , whore anthracite Is retailed at prices varying from 310 to $12 per ton , the people of the poorer classes are putting up with the annoyances of soft coal rather than pay such prices as are now asked for anthracite. Of course this will reduce the demand for the product of the com bine , and will cause still further re striction of its production. Will the president of the Reading company therefore cl.iim that it is' necessary to put the price up highcr-yot in order to save the combine from loss by overpro duction ? The plain truth is , that the coal combine - bino has deliberately laid its plans to rob the people , and if the final result shall prove that it has overreached itself , it will receive no sympathy. IXDUSTlllAl , DKl'llKSSlOX Iff KXOLAND. Reports from England ahbw increas ing industrial depression. Latoadvicos from the Bradford district represent the manufacturing trade as having greatly declined , while prices have fallen to ewer figures than over before. The American tariff is hold responsible for this condition of affairs , as it ia for the depression in the plush industry , to which reference baa heretofore boon made. Tlio worsted industry la the principal one at Bradford , and under the present UirllY the manufacture of worsted has boon very inatorlnlly in creased In the United Slates. To the oxiout that this 1ms been the case the industry has fallen elf in Eng land , Not having the American mar ket as formerly the Bradford manufac turers seem unable to find n place for their product elsewhere , but the de mand in this c.ountry for worsteds bolnjr as gro.Ujiu over , American maun- factureraJtil workers are reaping the benefit. VIl American oitlzotu , It is reasonable "in " suppose , would regard n , fnct of this Mm ! with satisfaction , but the doifijulRUliT party denounces the policy wliioh ( produces such results as unconstitutional and in olToct declares that wo IwVo no right to provldo em- ploymont'Tor ' our own people In thin way. Some recent statistics of British experts - ports to the United States show that in n great proportion of casoi there has been a nutrkojl decline this year as com pared with the corresponding period of 181)0. ) Suc'h slatistios show conclusively the olToct of the tarlll on British in- dtiotrlos mill fully explain the com plaints that coino from England of serious depression in many branches of manufacture. There can bo no reason able doubt that in nearly every case of the decline of English shipments the amount of the loss represents pretty nearly the gain of American manu facturers and of American labor. As fill the facts am from British sources they will doubtless bo accepted as trust worthy by democrats as well as repub licans. They are very discouraging to free trade theories. TIIK amAT n'AThit IIUUTK. AlthoiiL'li the people of this region are removed by hundreds of miles from the head of navigation on the great lakes they are deeply interested in the great water .onto from Chicago to the Atlan tic. It is the western farmer's most im portant outlet to the eastern market , and but for its existence lie would bo wholly at the mercy of the railroads. Therefore it may bo assumed that thcro is a general interest throughout the west in the commerce of the great lakes. Few people understand how great It is. Let it bo remembered that the total area of the lakes ia 270,000 square miles , more than half the fresh water area of the world. Our own United Slates coast line on the lakes is over 3,000 miles in length. Thoro'are eight states whoso shores are washed by these fiesh water seas , and their population is more than 20,000,000. It is loss than sixty years since the first vessel , a little schooner , arrived at Chicago , and It was many years after this that navigation really began on the lakes. On December ' 1 , 1801 , the lake Hoot consisted of 2,115 vessels , exclusive of small tugs , steam canal boats , and sailing vessels not strictly a part of the carrying licet. Its value was estimated at 8o ,05-l,000 and it was rated at 870,000 tons. In recent years the building of large ves sels has bojiomo an important industry at a number of Like ports and many of the ships cngngcd in the carrying trade be tween Chicago and Buffalo today would compuro favorably with these devoted to freight tvalllli on the seas. The ton nage of alltho craft on the great lakes In 1891 wasj , 151,870 tons. The number of vessels registered , enrolled and licensed was : i)600 , ' ' while the number of ves sels engaged IWtho foreign trade on the Atlantic , Pacific and gulf coasts was only 1,579 , with a tonnage considerably less than that of thn lake licet. It is slated upon good authority that the numbor. . of 'Vessels that passed through the "Soo" , canal in 1890 was three times a's'great as the number that passed through the Suez canal in the same year , and the tonnage through the Detroit river is millions of tons greater than all the arrivals and clearances at London and Liverpool combined. The freight carried on lake vessels during the season of 1891 , extending through a period of only 231 days , amounted to over 31,000,000 tons. These facts will give the reader some idea of the influences exerted by the productive west , The great lake licet lias been built up and is now sustained by the rapidly growing demand for transportation of western products to the oast. The figures presented may bo surprising , but they will bo increased from year to year as the development of the west goes on. The time Is not far distant when the great lakes will bo | swarming with vessels laden with the products of the west , and it nyiy not belong long before these vessels will go directly through to tide-water without trans shipping their cargoes. The hope of cheap transportation must ever bo fixed upon the water routes. They are al ways free and can never bo controlled by combinations of any kind. articles published weekly in THE BEI : under the title of "Pulse of West ern Progress' ' have awakened a deep public interest in the development that Is taking place in the west and north west , and particularly in Wyoming and Montana , where rich fields yet unde veloped are awaiting the day when cap ital and enterprise shall lay bare their mineral wealth and open to the world sources of supply which are asyot almost unknown. A vast extent of territory to the west and northwest of Nebraska , though subjected now and then to the cursory examination of adventurous prospectors , is still almost as little Known as it was when Columbus first laid his course westward Irom Palos. Great progress hns boon made in some portions of those states , but there are yet largo trjupli bf their rugged surface which havc Sparcqly boon thoroughly explored , wjiilcjput slight tests of their mineral resources have boon mado. In this region of undoubted natural wealth , lying just beyond the borders of our own slate , Uio. oily of Omaha has n deep and permanent Interest. It is a region naturally tributary to this city , and as its developitfont'jtrogrossosand facilities of intercourse are multiplied it will gradually coituj into closer relations with thia metropolis , Why should not its possibilities. pnga o the attention of Omaha capitalists ? Why should not Omaha enterprise develop the re- Bourcos wblnht in the natural course of things , must ultimately prove valuable to this oily ? The subject la worthy of careful attention. IT is proclaimed with great glee by the democratic press that the recent visit of Mr. Cleveland to Now York com pletely sot at rest all doubts ns to the altitude of Senator Hill In this cam paign and that the Inttor will at once take elf his coat and go to work in be half of hi * intlntod rival. This is nn doubt a pleasant thing for democrats to contemplate , but thoaa who are ac quainted with Mr. Hill will not readily believe anything ol the kind , IIo is not the man to hold back with no ether purpose - ! pose than to bo invltod to go to work. Senator Hill is n , politician , and his op- 1 position to C ovoland Is based upon j deeper foundations than more childish ! sulks. The defeat of Cleveland would lift the o-.onds that hang ever Hill's po litical fuliiro , but Iho success of the former - mor would only be a damage to the selfish - fish ambitions of the grout Tammany Idol. Senator Hill may have baen pre vailed upon to make n showing of allo- glance to Cleveland , but beyond thai lie will do nothing. DKMOOIIATS are fond of assorting that all comparisons of wagoi between Amor- ton and Kncland are unfair since Eng land cannot bean agricultural nation , Is Isolated , etc. , and must take up manu facturing. In tholr reasons lies Iho strongest argument for wage compari son. England must bo a manufacturing nation , it is the gro.it manufacturing nation of the world because Its workingmen - men have nothing else to ongngo in and this necessity makes tholr wages very low , thus enabling thorn to produce wares at a low cost and a great profit to tin employer. America will not pny such wages and by our tariff wo keep out England's products. The laboring man of America has all the ndvantngo In every fair comparison and ho knows It. TIIKKI : are several import-nit railroad cases on the docket of the Unilod States court for adjudication at the next term. The juries have not yet boon empaneled. It has boon suggested that the grafid jury moot and call every petit jury up to ansxvor whether or not ho rode to Omaha on a railroad pass. His testimony on this interesting point might bo rein forced by the tcslimony of general lick- ot agents of the various linns of Ne braska whoso records ought to show the niuno of every juror holding a pass. Any juror , grand or petit , in any court , who holds an annual pass or has ac cepted a trip pass should bo discharged. The suoject hhould bo made a test of a juror's qualifications. THE republican county committee for 1892 should bo nhoson by the convention that will behold in this city on the 19th. It is essential that the committee work for the present campaign bo begun at once and kept up until election day. To wait until the middle of October for the election of the new commitloo would bo a very serious blunder. There would bo no lime for the now coinmiltee to familiarize itself with the worlc in hand and the outcome would bo contention , confusion and defeat. THE business men and capitalists of Omaha lire willing to talk about the need of now Industrial enterprises hero , but the trouble is that everybody is waiting for somebody olso. Such hesi tancy would bo natural enough if the matter wore one of experiment , like boring for oil , but such is not the caso. It is not doubted that manufacturing in inuiiy lines not yet attempted hero would bo profitable. The field is largo and invites enterprise.
