politics to which the lonublicnn voters
of Omaha are requested to direct their
attention jiibt now.
A I'KTITION has been fll"d by the re
publicans of the Seventh ward in favor
of the c.indidacy of Mr. Geomo Nat-

linger Would miiko a very Hiifo and

AT Tin : annual mooting of the Manu
facturers and Consumers association the
statement was made by ono of the mem
bers that 7fi per cent of the brick laid on
the streets of Onmli'i are imported
from Missouri and Illinois. Leaving
the merits of brick pavements out of the
question , it is evident that if they are to
lie used at all the brick should bo pro
duced in this city. It is unnecessary to
outer into any argument to show that
the importation of 75 per cent of the
paving brick used bore is a direct loss
to the community.
IT WAS heralded boldly before the
Omaha convention that the pooplo's
party would make tin omplmtio tosolu-
tion against the foicoblll. Why they
did not is jiHt now apparent. At the
executive joint session of the committee
nt St. Louis Monday it was decided to
ask for federal supervision and inter
vention in all of the southern stales , as
without it they could not have fair elec
tions. Tlio republican partv has said
this for yoai-8 and Iho southern people
have laughed at them and denied it.
Now the boot is on the other lug of
this now oigunl/iutlon and they scream.

The Pine Tree stnto is all right. She
holds her place In the list of ropubtle.in
commontvcnlths. The Australian ballot
law had its llrst trial thcro in Monday's
election , and as uniformly happens in
such cases the vote was reduced , The
chairman of the ropub.ican state com
mittee estimates the reduction nt 12ODO
from the vote of 1888 , and ihls fully ac
counts for the decline in the republican
majority , whichis estimated at 10.000
by the same authority. These figures
will undoubtedly bo somewhat changed
by tbo complete returns , but In any
event the explanation of the fact that
the republican plurality is less than that
of four years ago will bo found in the
operation of the new ballot law , which
it is said , however , was generally satis
factory.
That Iho republicans gained so sweep
ing a victory is a matter for congratula
tion , for it must bo confessed that before
the election the situation did' not appear
to warrant implicit confidence in such
complete republican success. Thcro
wore local conbldoriitlon * alTecting the
canvass which promised togioatly favor
the demo-'iata Therefore to have
ok'i'tod tbo four
a governor , congress
men and two-lhlrds of Iho members of
the legislature is n victory sulllcioully
decisive lo justify republicans everywhere
wherein congratulating themselves.
Undoubtedly democrats will endeavor to
extract noino comfort from the fact that
the republican lead is not so great as it
WHM in recent presidential years , as they
have done in the c.iso of Vermont , anil
will cite it as evidence of a growing
popular disfavor toward tonublican poll
cies and principles , but they will hardly
lind such an effort prolltablo.
There is nothing in tiio result of the
elections in those two stales wliich oflors
any encouragement to democratic hopes.
They aio secuiolj republican , as it is
not to be doubted the ether Now Eng
land states arc , with the possible excep
tion of Connecticut , and oven the latter ,
which gave Cleveland in ISSS only IMG
pluialily , is very likely to give its
olci'toralolo lo Iho republican candi
date's tliis year. Now England does not
waul free trade , nor do her intelligent
people believe that protection is uncon
stitutional. Neither deus that section
dusiie such "reforms" in the financial
system of the country as are pioposed
by Uio dcmoctatic parly in the restora
tion of state bunk issues and the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. It is
entiicl.sjfe . to predict that every Now
England btatc which gave its electoral
vote to the republican candidates in 1888
will show its fidelity to republican
princip'ui ' in lfe)2 ! ) , and probably by in-
01 cased majorities.
There is every reason why repub
licans everywhere should take courage
and confidence from the result in Maine
and unquestionably Ibis \\ill bo the

The present national campaign stands
out in bold rehof as the cleanest ono in
the history of the country. The pas
sions of men have not boon aroused to the
extant of making them forcrot the decen
cies and pi opriotios of political warfare.
It i.s a contort of argument and reason
und common sense ; principles are at
stake which are recogni/.cd as more im
portant than party ascendancy or the suc
cess of any candidate for high honors.
In the support which the parties are giv
ing lo their lespoctivo presidential can
didates lliero is no lioro worship. The
candidates distinctly represent certain
principles to which their parties are em
phatically and unequivocally committed.
The democratic party supports the free
trade idea with great enthusiasm and
puts ils faith in Grover Cleveland as an
ideal reps nsontativo of that policy. Wilh
equal /.oal the republicans support pro
tection and rally about President Harri
son as the perfect ropresoitatlvo of the
protective idea. Is is natural enough
that both candidates should bo subjected
to criticism in various w ivs , but abuse
and virulent detraction hive no place in
this campaign. It is a contest in which
arguments are presented for the candid
consideration of the votorb of the coun
try.

No ono lias shown gronlur solicitude
for the prolcclion of the people of the
United States against an inviibion of
cholera than President Harrison , and
he has uxciclbod the authority vested
in him with promptness and good judg
ment , lie could have gone much
further than ho hub with the certainty
of popular approval , bat ho very prop
erly determined that there should not
bo even nn appearance of usurpation of
authority on the p.ut ot the general
government , but that it should simply co
operate with the slates inolToi'ts lo ex
clude from our shoves the dreaded pesti
lence. Tlio order issued by the Treasury
department Saptombor 1 , requiring u
quarantine detention of twenty days ,
wnsacuompinlod with the explanation
that It was not Intended to interfere
\\ilh the Htato quarantine laws , and
this litia altico boon ivitorntod by the
eccrotaiy of the treasury.
This coiiboi valivo notion ought to have
boon a sufficient warning to the steam
ship companies not to bring lo this
country passonguru from the infected
ports of Europe , but it wus not. The
com panics continue lo receive emigrants
from the cholera districts whoso desti
nation is Ihp United States. In n dis
patch lo Iho secretary of the treasury
last Saturday the president character
ized this course of the companies ns nn
outrngo and directed the secretary to
notify them that they must stop it or
Iho altonmtrvo would bo to turn back
such pcst-luden vessels. There is a
neatly universal demand in the cast that
the general government shall summar
ily put n stop to immigration , even if
there Is no specific law to warrant such
action. The attorney general holds that
the president has ample jurisdiction to
restrict immigration without Interfer
ing with iho state quarantine laws , and
there Is ether high legal authority in
support of this opinion. Uowovor this
may bo , the fooling is that in such an
exigency the government might very
properly strain Its authority somewhat ,
and u strong pressure is being brought
to bear upon the president lo induce him
lo adopt more radical measures for
chocking immigration at this time.
Those who are far removed from the
danger may not bo nblo to fully appreciate
ciate- the anxiety of these who are
in eioso proximity to it , but the dom ind
for a restriction of immigration at this
tlmo is altogether natural and defensi
ble , and if the president should determine
to older that vessels infectoJ with
cholera shall bo turned back and not
pormitlod lo enlor American waters
Hi ore can bo no doubt that the action
would receive the approbation of the
country. It would inevitably result in
bomo hardship , but solf-p-osorvation is
the first law of nature , and if thostoam
ship companies persist in taking emi
grants from the infecled districts the only
certain safeguard against the invasion
of cholera Is that which the president
suggests maj- have to bo adopted.

Ono of the moat interesting railroad
wars of recent limes is that wliich the
Pennsylvania company is wnying against
the Reading. Tlio light is onlii ely con
fined to coal froighls , and the Pennsyl
vania is fixing its tojIs without regard to
tlio interests of the various railroad com
panies interested in the great anthracite
deal. 'The Pennsylvania company is
rich and independent , and is well prepared -
pared in every respect to hold its ground
against its powerful rivals. It claims
that it is charging its full proportion on
tlio haul to Now York , but it appears
1'iat the Reading is tryincr to compel the
Pennsylvania railroad to muKo a pro
hibitory rate lo Now York , or ono which
would practically deprive the latter of
any Now York customers Having failed
to accomplish this in Iho ordinary way
Hie Reading has made local rates from
the mines ever its own lines to junction
points on the Pennsylvania so high that
the hitler cannot lake coal from Iho
Reading at junction points and transport
it to coinpoliliye points al a profit.
The Reading propose * to control the
anthracite coal business at any cost , but
it looks us if it had undertaken a big
contract in attempting to force the
Pennsylvania company into line. No
body supposes that the latter company
caies a straw for the iutotosts of the
oppressed consumers of anthracite conl ,
but so long as it holds out against the
combine , no matter what its purposes
may be , it will command the apptoval
of the public. Tlio Pennsylvania com
pany is now opening branch roads which
will give it a largely incioabod coal ton
nage , and there are many indications
that it intends to continue ils light
against the combine.
A prominent eastern journal devoted
to economic questions has oeon making
some investigations which show that the
high price of anthracite is causing
householders to economize in the use of
fuel. Families that have hitherto
ordered from fifteen to twenty tons of
coal at this season are now taking but
two or three tons at a timo. This explains -
plains tlio dullness of which dealers
complain and Iho large and growing
surplus which Iho combine says is the
cause of its restricted production and
inoi eased prices This tcsult of Ihe
oppression of Iho people by iho coal
monopolists is a perfectly natural one.
UoiiBUineis of any commodity can always
find .some way to economize. If every
family in the United Slates should
shorten its consumption of nnlhrncito to
the extent of only one ton per year the
nggiogi'lo icduclion would bo great
enough to seriously affect tlio producers.
Tlio combine will see the truth of Ibis
before next spring.

The union depot committee will moot
again to discuss the propriety of accept
ing the terms offered by Iho railroads
for a quit claim deed to all the rights
and title the cily pojsossos lo the depot
grounds and a cancellation of the con
tract by which the Union Pacific on the
ono hand and the depot , company on thu
other are obligated to give access at
reasonable rales to all railroad com
panies that desire to ontur Omaha lo
their bridge and lorminals.
Now the question is whether Omaha
will bo the gainer or loser by accepting
thfbo conditions. Wo have submitted
for twenty years to wi etched depot
facilities in a brick cowshed and for two
years past to inoro wretched facilities
in a woodshed and no facilities in a sky
parlor. Omaha can stand this outrage
and imposition for two years longer if
nocd bu , rather than give up all the
rights she h.'s ' ever luid to the $1,000,000
depot grounds donated under conditions
that never have been complied with and
wlpoontby ono single act all the obli
gations that the Union Pacific and the
depot company assumed.
Withoutany agreement whatever , and
without a dollar of bonus in lands or
bonds , Omaha is entitled to a _ ptissongor
fat itlon commensurate with bur popula
tion and commerce. She has boon twice
Imposed upon by pictures of depots and
plans that remained on paper. Tlio
union depot begun adjacent to the via
duct is pronuuticoil by every dlsintur *
osled railroad man an abortion. It will
bo very dlflloult of accos ? from the via
duct , which is its only approach , und
very inconvenient for piHsoagors who
will bo compelled to climb up or down
the viaduct.
Tlio council and the committee may
bu led to believe that this U the best wo
can gel out oho ) railroad companion
under presentconditions. ? ( THK JJniS
does not aarcB > ilh th'nt view and hun-
diudsof the , fcvivlosl ) property owners
are in accoraiwlth it. They want this
depot muddlo3 tlled light. They want
to see a depot built that will bo accessi
ble and eomnyyjjous. They insist that
wo are entitled to n structure as largo
and as impositions are the depots in
elites of cqua1'ipopulutlon and trafllo.
(
They i o H/o tfial the depot now under
way will not mept our wants more than
ton or lUtocn vtsais at bust , but with
the cxporioncQOmaha , has hud it is sato
to pi edict that the roads would content
themselves with pitching anil rep itch
ing and leave Omaha with inadequate
depot facilities for two or throe genera
tions.
There is no use for the coinmlttoo to
linker with the depot question until the
companies agree to give Omaha what
she is entitled to a union depot in fact
as well as in name , ana a depot that will'
cnduro the wear and tear of the in
creased trafllo in a city of at least
250,000 population.

Tlio backers of Mr. Dave Mercer liud
holler bottle their wrath. This is not a
question of good fellowship , personal
friendship or political hostility.
The editor of Tin : Urn : testified under
oalh before the United States Pacific
railway commission concerning the cor
ruption and debauchery of tlio iogislativo
lobby , lie tcsllfled among other tilings
that Dave Mercer was with others a
member of the oil-room lobby at Liu-
coin. Thlit fact wr.s corroborated by
ether witnesses , notably William F.
Gurloy and John M. Thurslon. His and
their testimony has been published by
the United Stales and is accessible lo
tlio public and will bo within roach of
the candidates for congress on the op-
posilo nido.
In the face of such evidence the editor
of Tin : I3iu cannot stullify himself or
this paper by endorsing Mr. Mercer for
congress , even if ho were otherwise
fltlod tor Iho posllion or entitled to such
'i high place at the hands of the party.
It has been the boast of republicans in
tlio present campaign that the party has
presented to the pcoplo candidates
whoso records are untainted. It cannot
and it should not recede from this high
purpose. Wo cannot hope to command
buccess this year unless wo deserve it by
presenting clean and capable men for
the suffrages of the pooplo. In taking
that position the editor of Vui : Bin : is
not assuming to dictalo who shall bo
honored , but ho simply discharges a
disagreeable duly in pointing out who
among Ihe aspirants for loading posi
tions are not available.

The Manufacturers and Consumers As
sociation of NoVjiska has just entered
upon the second year of its existence.
When organized. , in Spploinbor , 18)1 ! ) , It
was generally regarded as an experi
ment , the succors of which was al-
logclhor problematical , but the thirty
or forty practical tnon who then en
tered into the work of oreaWzing the
manufacturers o ( thOrStato and promot
ing the policy of patronizing homo in
dustries had strong confidence that it
would succeed , and their efforts were do-
voled oarneslly and effectively to that
ond. The result has most fully justified
llieir faith.
Today tlio organization has a member
ship of 214 , and tbo annual statement for
the year shows it to bo in excellent
llnancial condition. What the associa
tion has accomplished instiinulaling the
manufacturing industries of the state
and in increasing the homo demand for
the products of the o industries has
boon of very great value. There is
hardly a manufacturing enterprise in
Nobrastca , if there bo one , that has not
boon benefited by its influence. It is
not too much to a.ay that it has boon in
strumental in creating1 a demand for
irticlos of homo manufacture Unit is 50
pot- cent greater than a year ago , which
of course involves a considerable in
crease In the labor employed in these
industries and a largely augmented dis-
Iribuliou of money among the pooplo.
Another excellent result is in bring
ing manufacturers into dOjor and more
cordial relations and inciting thorn to
work logotbor in the common interest.
They have had exemplified the timo-
honored maxim that "in union there is
strength. " Still another good olloct
bus boon in encouraging our manufac
turers to produce u-tic os which can
successfully compote in quality with
like articles undo cliowhore , this being
ono of the prime conditions to the con
trol of the homo market. In ether im
portant rospnots the association has
oxortud a wholesome influence and
amply vindicated the wisdom of its or-
gaiii/.alion. Under its auspices the
best exposition of tlio industries of Ne-
braaka over made was hold In Omaha
last June , giving the paopto a gratify
ing revolution of the extent and variety
of tlio manufactures of this stale.
Tlio association is making steady
progress. It loil ago passed out of the
experimental Btaio and can now ba regarded -
gardod as a permanent institution , dos-
llnod to continuously aid in promoting
the industrial progioss of Nebraska.
Having most conclusively demonstrated
Us value in this , , i ospoct it cannot bs

luiors who aro1 npt inomboro of the
association the , o'xjodlcnoy of identify

Senator i'ettlgrow of South Dakota was
In the city todny on tm w.iv to New York.
Ho cnmo directly from his bomo ut Sioux
Falls. After oarofnlly looking around over
South Dakota , which U .stronglv tainted
with the ullinncd movement mid where the
democrats and independents have llxcd un a
smart schema to fuse , Senator I'ottigrew has
como to the conclusion that surely the re
publican state ticket and very probably the
republican electoral ticket will bo elected In
November Ho says the Inaopoudmits placed
n ticket in the Hold und then thu domourals
nominated a full ticket , at thu same tlmo
conferring full power upon the democratic
stale committee to withdraw nuy portion of
the state tloKot that It should doom ncivla *
nblo.
Ilc > \ \ the Schninu U Arrmiml.
"Tho sehomo Is1 , said the senator to I'm :
Den correspondent this morning , "to with
draw tno democratic electoral cauaulat 6 at
the last moment and support the alliance or
Independent candidates for tuo electoral col
lege and trade off nil Ihe state ticket on both
sides and elect the Independent candidates
lor the electoral college. 1 loam that this
scheme is being wonted everywhere. It is
possible. Tuo Idea U to inciuasu tliu demo
cratic strength lu the uresldcntiul Hold by
throwing the election of the national ticket
into the house of representatives.
"I don't bollovo the old-tlmo republican
farmer of Sou'h Dakota will bo dupcu Dy
such a trick Into supporting democracy.
Why , uny Intelligent lurmor can r.eo that
n vote 'for an ulllinco candidate for
elector Is a vote for Cleveland and the worst
element that wo have bean lighting since
long before tbo war. Our folk.i ( the icpuu-
llcaus ) are greatly encouraged. Wo think
we arc going to oairy Now York. The bat-
tilifj is In favor of Harrison. I think the ro-
Hull of the Maine election will do us good if
the majority does not got too largo. A small
majority In Malno IB what \\o want for our
folks und to wako them up. "
1'K'lKii Ini ; lor the President's Kctuiii ,
Mr. and Mrs Russell U , Harrison arrived
at the while bousa yesterday afternoon und
lust , night the former loft town Jgnin , his
destination being presumably Loon Lake.
Tno news of Airs. Harrison's condition
has not heen reassuring. Mrs , Kiiisoll
Harrison came here n few days in
advance of the date sot for the president's
coming so as to get the living part of the
house in somolhing of its usual condition.
Down stairs , bv the president's oraer , all the
work has beet : hurried up In every direction
so that prictically It wilt bo clean when ho
arrives. The ducoratots' scaffolding has
been removed from the corildors and the
artists working und putting finishing
touches to the side walls am perched upon
ladders.
There Is now do doubt at all but that the
corridors will be Mulshed for the president's
reception. It Is not thought for a
moment , however , that tno president
will leave Loon L < aka until there
is a decided change for the
bettor in the condition of Mrs. Harrison , for
whom much concern is felt hero. Much
sympathy is expressed for the president and
many prayers go up for the life of Mrs
Ilairison , who is beloved by nil who know
her. The president will probably return to
Washington on Friday accompanied by Mrs.
Hninson if she is able to travel. She will
notiemnin In Washington If she does come ,
but will likely go south for the winter.
