IT SHOULD bo a m.ittor of congratula tion to our citr/ons to learn tnnt the Omaha , park syatom is being extended and improved. There is nothing more attractive and delightful than those "lungs of tliocity. " THE democrats of this county have opened the congressional campaign will another Kilkenny cat fight between the ' 'slottor houso" and "packing house' Jactiona The air in Omaha is full o chunks of harmony. ONI : Omiilin doctor Buys thnt people nro doing too much worrying in nd < vance over the posbibility of cholori coining. Ho advises them to clean u | and feel safe. And this is not such u bad prescription , either. JOHN .T. INOALLS is homeward bound nnd pioparod to show up the fallacies ol the boui botm and malcontents by his pertinent and stinging speeches with the nddcd information gained by study of the conditions of labor in foreign coun tries. Now that JudgoScott is fairly knocked oul , llioao of hiB bunportoru wlio desire republican success in thia district will do well to help nominate a candidate who needs no whitewash and who will command popular conlldonco by reason of his high cliaractor. Till ! discord in the democratic- camp ehould not inspire republicans with the idea that a yellow dog ticket will swoop the county , The party must nominate reputable and reliable men and tultc no ohnncos upon winning by reason ol dissension in the camp of the enemy. THIS republicans ol this district now liavo a splendid opportunity to turn nstdo from quarreling demagogues and pond to congress a gifted , ublo man. The opportunity ahould not be allowed to escape and there are plenty of good men from whom a choice may bo made. ON'K thing ia curtain , it won't require many more such days as yesterday tc l > ut Nebraska's wonderful corn crop out of nil danger of ftost. Old Mondamln 1ms had a very lively time of it thin year dodging wet weather and drouth , hot weather and cold , but ho seems to have OOIDO out of It nil right in tlio end. NOW that the democrats have censed yelling over Maine anil Vermont , it comes to light that the democrats lost twr liiL'inbora of the legislature in Maine nnd nineteen in Vermont , as compared with two ycara ngo. Wo can see why the bourbons should rend their garmonlu over these faets , but not in gladness. Tins voters of this county have a re- inarkablo habit of breaking away from party lines and voting for the best man. U'hoy did it In 181)0 ) and 1801 , And they uro in u temper to do the siimu thing this year-on congressman. That fuel demands that a very ublo n\nn \ bo chosen nt the republican congressional conven tion. Tin : li.lUT Al'I't'Mi. Now that the democrats have noml imtcd Juiftro lloaiio , it becomes a matte of necessity for rowibllranq to mum a candldntu who Id his poor in characto nnd ability. The republicans have IK marein In this district mid can enl ; hone to win if their candidate hold : every republican vote and drnwa upot the mon who nro in the habit of vollm for the host mon of nil p.irtlcs. .tudgt Donno is a candidate whoso atrtingll with this clnsf of voters republican ! must not underrate.

Judge Donne received nearly 2,501 moro votes in this county than did. ludgt Scott , who was running on the republi can ticket , It would bo sheer lunacy to match ngalnst huch a cnndidnto any man win does not command the good will , rospcc and conlldonco of the community. It ii needless to repeat that neither D.iv < Mercer nor Judge Scott can poll the ful republican vole of this district. Judge Scott has miido himstjlf Impo-Hlblo bj his arrant , demagogy , hii monomnnii for oTiCO , aim hie periodic outbursts c Ill-temper and his bilking of creditors Dave Mercer has never boon a possibility for congress any moro tniin ho is a pos sibility for the supreme bench.

It has been u painful nnd thnnklosi task for Tin : Din : to admonish the parti against committing itself to solf-beoklnj candidates who nro doomed to defea' ' and whoso nomination will imperil tin nationnl , state and legislative tickets Uut it is n duly which Tin : Hun can no shirk. _ I'llK DIWHHKXCH. The commercial anil financial situa lion in Knglnnd is looked upon with pro found npprohonsion by the business mot of that country. Recent commercial dih asters and dilhenltios in banking circle are attributed largely to the reducct condition and the unsettled feoliiif among the wage-earning classes. Tin run upon the Birkbock bank in London which would have wrecked the itibtitu lion if the Bank of Englnnd had no como to its aid with unlimited funds , i believed to have been caused entirely b ; the uneasiness of the small depositors many of whom are workinsnncn. Mam of the building societies of Hngland" which are the depositories of the pooroi classes , have lately been wrecked b' ' reason of withdrawals duo to the iinan clal distress of the people. In the cot ton spinning districts iminv are out o employment and reduced to absoluti want. It is well known that during tin punt year the cotton industries of Englant have fallen below their average of pro duction and this has thrown many pee pie out of employment. Reduced wage in nearly all industries , and particular ! ] among the silk weavers , have alsi played n mirt in bringing about lu present distress among the working classes. Employes of the sillc mills when working for eleven shillings po week , wore obliged to submit to stil further reductions. Reduced wages ant lack of employment have wrought havoi among the wage-earners of England elate late and there seems to bo little prospec of an improvement in their condition. There is no disposition among Amor leans to rejoice at the commercial stagnation or the unfortunate condition of workingmou in England , but it is perfectly proper to congratulate our own people upon the contrast botwcoi their situation aad that of our neighbors across the soa. Wo believe that the American protective policy is vorj largely responsible for the dilTcronco and it is not too much to expect that all classes in any way interested in the prosperity of our wago-ournors and the gtowth of our industrial enterprises will recognize the value of that policy anil glvo it substantial support. T//B I'Ol'UhlSr \UllA'l'KS ACCKl'T After traveling about in flftaon st'itos announcing themselves as candidates for president and vice president of the United States General Weaver and General oral Fields , "one of the blue , the other of the gray , " have issued an ad dress "formally notifying the public" ol their acceptance of the nominations and of their acquiescence in the principles of the people's party. It was , of courtio , quite unnecessary for them to do this , but it la in pursuance of a practice that has the authority of long usage , and doubtless the populist candidates felt that the time had uotno for them to sound a "keynote. " The now party does not appear to bo doing woll. There is evidence in various quarters that it is losing ground. The experience in Alabama and Arkansas was not encour aging to its hopes in the south , if it over really had any , nnd there are Indica tions that it is in process of disintegra tion in the northwest The circum stances called for an appeal from the loaders audit has como. It need hnrdly bo said that it has the familiar calamity ring to it. The address declares thai the people are in poverty , that they are b3ing robbed on every hand , that labor is largely unemployed , that wages nro un- remunerative , and that all the social and economic conditions are radically wrong. Unfortunately there is a considerable nu m bo r of people , eomu of them of fair intelligence , who will believe this , and therefore it is necessary to tnko notice of It. What nro the facts V The com- inorco of the country , foreign and do mestic , has boon greater during the lust two yours than over before in the his tory of the country In a corresponding period. The returns of banking institu tions , savings and others , show a higher average of prosperity than uvor before. Investigation by a committee of the United States semite composed of repub licans ami democrats uud reports of the labor coinmlbHioiiors of New York nnd Massachusetts nhaw that labor was bet tor paid In 181)1 ) than in 1890. The growth ol industries during the p Ht year ot two made a demand for a largo amount of labor , and all trustworthy informa tion U that the labor of the country is moro fully employed now than for many ycnrs biforo. ljubtlc < s there nro local tins where this Is nut the case , but tnk Ing the whole country through men work Is Iming done at Q-stti-r pay , tin purchasing power of money bolng uon tillered , than ovoi' before In our history It must bo admitted that there nro mo nopollcs , trusts , and money sharks , bu Messrs. Weaver and Fields would find 1 extremely d'lllcult ' to demonstrate hov those evils could bo gotten rid of undo the po'lolos ' proposed by the people' parly. The remedy certainly would nebo bo found in a Hat currency and In sub treasury schemes. . There Is one feature of this addreai that Is meritorious. It U that whicl declares the Inviolability of a frco ballo and fair count to bo necessary to the per pottiity of free Institutions nnd ropro fiontativo government. If the populis leaders cuuhl so Impress this view upoi their party in tlio south 113 to induce I to make an earnest effort to secure Ii that section a free billet and a fail count it would accomplish one of tin gro licit services to the country ovoi done by a political party ; but there ii little probability that they will bo allt to do this. There is nothing to indienli that the southern populist is any bottoi than the southm-n democrat when i comas to the quosMon of giving the negro gro the right to vote as ho pleases. It is liiudly probable that the addros of Generals Weaver and Fields wll inako the impression which its author : doubtless expect it to mako. The en laimty cry luis about censed to have an ; lull nonce with Intelligent mon who keej themselves informed as to the real eon ditions about them and in the country tit largo. Trustworthy statistics , uccus siblo to everybody , elisprovo the assertions tions that the country is not prosporou and that the people are Impovotlshcd and neither the populist nor the dome crntlo lenders can mislead woll-informei voters by any sut-h statements. .1 I'Hl'CLAIt IthMhDV. Consumers of coal will undoubtedly to glad to learn that the great nnthraoiti combine is meeting with serious opposi lion in the market from the producers o bituminous coal. Ji'ho Coal Trade Jour mil , which docs not appear to bo inllu onced by sympathy with the monopolist on the one hand or their enemies on tin other , presents reports from- all of tin principal cities which show that tlio anthracite thracito trade is rapidly falling oil ant that the dc.mund for coft coal is con stantly increasing. There nro twi causes for this. In the first place the people naturally resent the efforts of tin combine to rob thorn ; in thoseconi place they will always seek to brltij their living expenses within thoi means. From every one of the Icndiiij cities in the United States the report indicate a reduced sale of unthincilo The aggregate of the reduction in sale most inevitably produce a strong otTeo upon the monopoly , and at the sain time the movement of bituminous coa will bo greatly stimulated. The theory upon which the nnthraclt combine is bused is that tlio product o its mines is the only practicable fuel and that the people are absolutely obliged to use it. The prodigious con sumption of anthracite coal of late yoai and the neglool of other fuel has nl fordoet some ground for this belief , bu the present demand for soft coal am coke shows that the anthracite baron do not completely control the situation There is plenty ot bituminous coa available in almost every m .rknt. It i not a desirable fuel in comparison will anthracite , but in a case of omorgoncj like the present it can bo made to sorv the purpoao. President MoLeod of tin Reading company , who is at the head o the an thracito combinetestified the otho day before the satiate investigating committee mittoo thnt the price of anthracite hat boon advanced bccauso tbo companic interested in the deal had moro coal 01 hand than they could s'oll. They had t < make a profit somehow , and as the out put of their mines exceeded the demand it was nocott > ary to raise the price ii order to prevent loss. This will not be considered by rational people as a jusll tication of the oppressive policy whicl : the monopoly lias adopted. So weak ar argument desorvea no serious considora tion. The consumers of coal cannot bi expected to bestow any sympathy tipot n grasping monopoly that lias over reached itself. As there is no immediate prospect o breaking the anthracite monopoly it is somewhat comforting to reflect Hint hi. luminous coal and col o may bo made to moot the needs of tlio people. It ap pears that these comparatively cheap fuels are cow being extensively used In many cities where anthracite has hith erto booa almost exclusively employed , and it is to bo oxpootod that the wo < 3l will place great dopcndonco upon its aofl coal fields so long as the combine remains in control of the anthracite nuirkot. Ono thing the west has not yol learned , and that is the value of coke us n substitute for anthracite coal. The L'oko ovonsof Pennsylvania produce coke that la almost equal to anthracite. It is sold in sizes suited to the furnace or the nmgo and Is admirably adapted to do mestic uses. The bituminous coal mines' ' at the west afford a field for the coke- maker , and if an article equal to that produced In Pennsylvania wore placed upon the western market It would cor- tnlnly meet with a largo silo. But putting nsldn all considerations of economy , it is gratifying to know that the prospects of the anthracite combine nro growing cloudy. The re- ilucod consumption of its products now reported all over the country alTorth ground for the hope that it will soon die 11 natural death even if it is not crushed out of existence by the courts.

In addition to tnls bo will put m a vault extending from tlio basement , to the coiling of the second story. ll is iho opinion of a majority of the cjuncil thai this Is iho most economical and practical plan yet suggested. The presonl expense tor rent Is r.boul S100 per moulh nnd Iho omVos uro scattered all ever the city. Tbo projected scbomo of letting Iho conlract to some responsible party for erecting a new builuing und paying $100 u month until il was paid tor would have made lliooxponso only $15 additional per month and in time would have lefi thu city owner of the buildintr.
