It is now almost certain Uiat the dom-

this district will ba represented by a

The great masj of voters in Omaha
will not want to bo represented in con
gress by a charlatan and ( < raiii nor will
they vote for ti man who has prostituted
himself to the low station of a hlro'd
railroad lobbyist and has no professional
standing and has never in any way con-
trlbuied to tlio material growth of this
city or stato. This should bo the banner
congressional district of Noliraska and
the man who is to rcprcsant it-should
stand high in the esteem and conlldunco
of our dlixun.s.
The republican party 1ms such mon In
its ranks Such mon do not pack cau
cuses and consort with ward heelers iiml
saloon bummers. In this Instance , as Ir.
the case of Orounso , the olllco should
seek the man. Judge Scott has gone
daft in his ambition to gain notoriety
and political prominence. Hif perform
ances make his o impalgn almost a dis
grace to the bunch , Dave Mercer lacks
all the elements that inspire conlhlonci ? .
He is u. ward politician of moderate
ability , with no conception of tlio re
sponsibility of a congressman. The
businos : ) men would repudiate him and
tlio worldngmon would not trust him.
The railroad bosses , upon whom ho depends -
ponds ohiolly , never can cocrco their
mon to vote for a person who would bo
a mere tooF in the in nds of their task
masters and never would lift his linger
for thorn unless ho first obtained the
consent from railroad headquarters.
Tlio demoralized stale in which the
republican party finds itself in this
county is chiolly duo to the pernicious
ol.'orts of Scott mid Mercer to use the
party to further their own ambition.-
Tlio jugglery with the ea .louses and pri
maries has not onJy boon disgusting but
suicidal. Instead of promoting harmony
they have stimulated discord. Instead
of devoting his time and on orgy to the
necessary preliminaries of the campaign ,
Moreor lias labored night and day with
the ward heeler element of the commit
tee in getting up schemes for packing
the caui'iiso.s in bis own inturnst.
In calling attention to this deplorable
stale of facts Tun 13KK simply desires to
avert disaster to the republican cause.
A largo detection from our congres
sional ticket will surely carry with it
Borious defection from the legislative
and county tickets and cannot fail to
joopardi/.o the state and national
tickets.

The lack of unanimity in the demo-
, cniUG party concerning the tariff ques
tion is illustrated by tlio platforin
adopted by the democrats in Connecti
cut. They did notdaro to disregard the
great manufacturing interests of that
'state so far as to denounce the tnrilTas
an unconstitutional fraud , but on the
contrary they declared that labor must
not bo discriminated against in tlio col
lection of revenues and that it must bo
cherished and fostered. This shows
th'it the framers of the Connecticut
platform had a wholesome fear of arous
ing tlio opposition of the thousands of
wage-earners in that state who are di
rectly benefited by the present protect
ive policy. A plant : was also adopted
protesting against the issue of uny bank
bills that are not
as safely secured as
national bank bills , whicti is another
distinct repudiation of tlio Chicago dec
laration of principles. What tlio par
ticular influences wore that led the
domocracv of Connecticut to oppose the
wild cut banking heresy of the national
convention wo do not know , but no ex
planation of its position on the tarilf is
Vequircd. It simply did not dare to ad
vocate free trado.
It becomes moro apparent from day to
day that the
Chicago platform was ono
of the most gigantic political blunders
of the aj'o. It is destroying the integ
rity of tlio democratic party in the very
states which it
must positively
carry
next November or go down to igno
minious defeat. Tlio signs of the tlmos
wore never so auspicious as now for a
prolonged period of undisturbed pros
perity for tlio manufacturers and wage-
ortrnors of tills country under protec
tive lawa The free trade hosts are al
ready wavering and will soon bo utterly
routed.
SKKKtXU DISTANT
There is little ground for the wide
spread fooling in England that the
United States is a commercial enemy
whoso chief aim is to oripplo and injure
English industrial Interests , but it is
perfectly true that this country is vig
orously reaching out fur now murkots
and Is steadily preparing to contest tlio
supremacy of Great Hritain in every
available field of competition , Tills is
strictly legitimate from every point of
view , and whitovor : jealousies and dis
appointments this policy may engender
among English manufacturers and mer
chants it will unquostlonibly bo ad-
ho rod to the
as only buslncssllko course
for u progrnsslvo ponplo to purauo.
An enterprise that is just now attract
ing a great deal of attention in Now
Yorlc illustrates the push and energy
that charactorl/os American businessmen
mon in tholr co'isuloss quest for now and
profltaKo Holds of commercial activity ,
A movement is on foot looking to tlio
organization of an association of mer
chants anil manufacturers for the pur
pose of opening the markets of South
Africa to American trado. Tlio associa
tion is to bu Incorporated with a capital ,
of $500,000 and la to have olllcus tit Now
York and Capo Town , with numerous
branches and ngonclos In South Africa
and Madagascar , It is proposed to opun
n permanent exhibition at Capo Town
whore samples of manufactures from
this country will bo bhown. Machinery ,
mining , quarrying and agricultural im
plements and merchandise ) of all Idndb
will hero bo exhibited , with power for
the oropulslou of the machinery and
suitable warehouses and show rooms for
the display of the various articles.
U will bn soon that If successfully
carried out this enterprise will p'.aco the
Unltod States in direct and formidable
competition with Gro.it Britain In a
Held which thn latter has considered
safe from invasion by American manu
facturers and merchants. Hut there is
no good reason why the growing in
dustries of this country should not
share t'io ' South African trade if coin-
petition can bo undo profitable there.
England hns no right to complain of any
dUadvantngos which she may suffer by
reason of American oncronchmont upon
the commercial domain which she lias
so long considered her own. She is dis
turbed because American reciprocity has
damaged her trade in South America ,
and It may be that she will find fault if
this South African enterprise is carried
out ; but the American pcoplo are now
devoting themselves to business , and if
thny sot a fast pace Great Britain will
have to quicken hers.
CAN
Attorney General Miller has rendered
an opinion declaring that the president
of the United States has power to totally
exclude all vessels coming from any for
eign port or country wlioro any contag
ions disease may exist. Conceding the
correctness of this opinion the president
mivy put a stop to the Immigration of all
persons coming from countries or ports
wlioro cliolora exists. As the attorney
general has given this question very
careful attention thuro will bo a gonnral
disposition to accept iiis conclusion , and
undoubtedly tlio pressure upon the pros-
idont.tolnduco him to exorcise his power
will bo greatly increased.
There is a very general and urgent
demand for Iho suspension of immigra
tion , and there can bo no doubt that if
the president should respond favorably
to it tlio action would bo approved by the
entire country. A movement has bosn
started for uniting a number of cities
peculiarly exposed to the danger of a
cholera invasion in a memorial to the
president to put a stop to immigration
for a specified period or until all danger
of cholera epidemic is passed , and un
doubtedly those cltios will promptly join
in such an appeal. In that event the
president , unless ho seriously doubts his
authority to proceed to the extremity
asked , will doubtless comply , llo has
shown a very earnest solicitude in this
matter , and if lie shall see his way clear
to a suspension of immigration without
exceeding the oxoeutivo powers he prob
ably will not hemtato to tuko tlio re-
qui-od action.
That the situation bus become ex
tremely perilous it would bo foolish to
deny. The pestilence has obtained a
foothold in this Country , and notwith
standing the warnings of this govorn-
munt vessels continue to ship emi
grants from the cholera-infected ports
of Europe whoso destination is tli3
United States. This criminal disregard
of the welfare of our people can bo mot
only by decisive action excluding abso
lutely from American waters all vessels
coming1 from the infected ports of
Europe. The oxiggticy .demands that
there bo no half way measures. Tlio
threatened invasion of a h'ostilo army
could c.ilt no mo.-o urgently for a vigor
ous and aggressive policy for repelling
iltnan doas the menace to the life of the
people of an invasion of cholera , and
every moans must bo employed to prevent -
vent the plague from spreading hero by
reason of the incoming of emigrants.
It is obvious that so long as immigrn-
tlo.n is purmittecl to continue there will
be danger , and'tho diliicultios of stamp
ing out the disease hero will bo in
creased. It is not to be doubted that
there will bo general acquiescence in
tlio opinion of the attorney gonoral" , and
conceding that tlio president has the
power to exclude vessels from infcctod
ports his duty is plain.

Mr. Charles A. Dana docs not tnko
any stock in tlio olTorts of tlio demo
cratic mauagors to discredit the statis
tics of Rabor Commissioner Pock show
ing that Production and wugos in the
manufacturing inuustrlesof tlio state of
New York have inct eased since the
present tarill law wont into olTocl. In
liis paper that "shines for all" Mr.
Dana bays : "Hedlams of calamity
irhrlokors or streams of demagogic plati
tudes , about tlio wo.ilth of Iho rich and
the poverty of tlio poor , cannot make an
ibstio upon the question of prosperity in
Now York or elsewhere in this country.
Tlio evidence of active and wholesome
business is too apparent for debate. "
The distinguished editor is right. No
man who will examine the returns of
tlio country's commerce , foreign and do
mestic , will question that ho is right ,
They make a showing that ought to bo
gratifying to every American citizen ,
whether democrat or ropublioun , be
cause they motiii that a largo addition
lias boon inudo to the wealth of the na
tion and that commercial advantages
have been secured which promise to beef
of permanent value. Tlio facts rotjard-
ing the foreign commerce of the United
States duri'ig tlio fiscal year o'idod June
'SO lb\i'2 \ in

pending period immediately before the

not bo too often referred to. They show
that our oxporU Increased in the fiscal

ever the annual average for the ton
yours prior to 1801 was over $100,000-
OUO. What class of our pcoplo derived
the greatest direct benefit from this
largely augmented foreign trade ? 'Tho
agricultural producers , for tlio exports
of breadstuff of 1S'J2 exceeded the ynluo
of the tsaino exports In 1890 \ > y the sum
of $ MlUOOOUO.nmi _ exceeded tlio nvor-
ago annual value for tlio ton yours prior
to 18U1 by the sum of $ iU,000,000. ;
Adding tlio increase in the exports of
provisions , cattle , sheep and hogs and
the total is brought up to $1511,000,000
for 18t ever 1800 , and $215,000,000 In
excess of the average annual valu'o of
the ton years prior to 1891.
So much in general terms for the for
eign trade of the country. Tlio domes

quebtlon that it has largely increased.

A member of tlio. Now York Tarilt
Ilofortn club writes-to the WorM inclos
ing a dollar for the corruption fund and
snylng that ' 'tho west is the place where
It will go the farthest. The money It
would tnko to carry Now York by brib
ery and corruption , would carry the west
ton times ovor. "
Tills ib a ronmrknbly frank and out
spoken expression of an eastern demo
crat's opinion of western integrity and
honor , and the small si/.o of Ills contri
bution p--ovos that llo' really bcllovos
what ho says. The tone of all iho ap
peals that have boon < made for funds
witli which to carry the west for Cleve
land has shown that the democratic
campaign managers , are proceeding
upon tlio assumption that there is to bo
a forced sale of votes in the west this
fall and that they will go fo1 ; n song ,
Upon what foundation this assumption
stands it would bo hard to determine.
Tlio western pcoplo are not tu a state of
penury , and oven those who would bo
willing to barter their sulTragos or pros
titute their personal inlluonco would un
doubtedly demand a fair price. There
is nothing in tlio liistory of political
campaigning in tho- west to justify the
bollof that "tho money it would take to
carry Now York by bribery and corrup
tion would carry the west ton times
over. " Inflict it is well Known that
olTorls to corrupt the voters of the
west in behalf of the democratic party
have always failed. There is a pur
chasable element in all centers of popu
lation , but in comparison with the great
mass of honest men who make up both
the rural ami. the urban population of
the western states it is so small as to bo
absolutely insignificant.
If wo correctly estimate tlio general
character of the pcoplo whom the cor-
tu iviuvu-
land and free trudo by the use of money ,
they will indignantly resent the insult
when the proper time comes.
HOKACK HOIKS has broken his long
silence by delivering a spocch/ln which
lie makes no direct or Indirect reference
to Cleveland ana Stevenson. But ho
makes up for that lack by rupoating his
utterly idiotic anil stupid claim that the
farmers are losing money on-their corn
crops. It is inconceivable how a man
of goodfconsoioan ffocomo sirilieiently
inoculated wiih the virus of stulo treach
ery and blatant domagogrisin , as well as
lack of prudonDo , to mivko such bold
faced assertions in Carroll county , ono
of the most fertile spots of land under
the sun , whoso-farmors are today riding

THK republican state convention in
Texas was opened by prayer , in | which
the minister invoked the divine blessing
upon Judge Clarke , whoso candidacy tlio

amendment to the prayer was offered by
a delegate so that'another candidate

All this is evidence that running for
ofllco on the republican ticket in Texas
is a most grave ana serious matter.

With Pfancio nnd E'lul.mu noting together ,

The recent municipal elections in Franco
nro the llrst In which no party but the
ruiuuiieui3 IOOK pan. iuoru were low u
any royalist or church cnndldntes. ' Tuoro
were socialists and moderates or conserva
tives , but no representative of any party
which questions the stahllit3 * or desires tbe
overthrow of the ropjulic. Unless it bo nn
occasional oxiromo socialist there were no
candidates who really represented discon
tent or dissatisfaction with the republic.
This is n significant fact , for It Indicates n
condition of things whicti has not uxlston
before in Franco for u century. It moans
thnt the dopulnr mind has accepted tbu sta
bility nnd parmnncncy of ttiu republic , and
th.itao far as can. now bo foreseen Franco
lias a firmly e.-t xblished government. Eiich
preceding generation of Frenchmen ,
slnca tlio llrst revolution certainly ,
hnvo alternated under kings , dic
tators and republics. Until now
no Frenchman for a century has attained his
majority under the government under which
ho was born. A score of vunrs wr.s us long a
llfotlmo as any government had known , nnd
it had come to bo almost a proverb nnd a
popular expectation that this was to bo the
ind ttnlta program. There was moro or less
anxiety lat\ . this precedent of overturn
should Lie followed as the llrst score of the
republic's years was completed. There wore
disturbing inlluoncei nt work ; there was
Boulanper , and Chambord , nnu the church ,
all seemingly menacing the republic. But
now Boulnugar and Chambord uro ucad , and
so is the son of Louis Napoleon. The Bourbons
bens hnvo lost tholr inlluonco nnd , most 1m-
port ant of all , the pope hns recognized and
approved the republic. There remains ,
therefore , no center around which the dis
contented nnd reactionary elements can rally.
There is no lender for tlio royalists , and if
there were ho would hnvo to carry the heavy
loud of the papal displeasure.

If the British annexation of the Gilbert
Islands rcmilts In u careful scrutiny and
supervision of the peculiar tranlc in labor
that has been going on there , it muy prove n
good thing for the natives. Captain Dnvis
of the Moralist , who lately raised the Eng
lish flag ever the Islands , found the steamer
Montsorrat ready to take nway n shipload of
the people to work on thn plantations of
Mexico or Central America , but ho hud no
authority to stop hor. The king , It appears ,
hna allowed several such consignments of
his subjects to bo miulu to Queensland or
to the colTeo and sugar Holds ot Guatemala
nnu Mexico. A contract is entered into with
them fora low aolturs a year of wugos and n
return In llvo on ton years , but'tho result Is
rather suspect oil to bo virtual bondage.
The capacity of some of those 1'nctiiu island-
era to understand tbo moaning of contracts
and the value of money cannot bo very
great , and the capacity to enforce the pro
visions supposed to be for their benefit maybe
bo even less. Itwa n cargo ot 400 Gilbert
Islanders that the brig Tahiti hnd aboard a
year ago when she was wrecitod and never
again heard of. Tbo Montserrut of San
Francisco appears to have boon fourid by
Captain Davis reasonably suited for the
comfort of the passengers. But the whola
business Is of n sort that ought to be care
fully Inspected , and perhaps Grout Britain
may look after U if she establishes suitable
olllcors In her now domains.
