WHAT a terrible racket the contribu

by Harrison , easily and by good tnnjorl
tiesl They will all demand an itomizei

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

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

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. Although tin
average democratic vote last fall fol
'way behind the aggregate voptibllcnt
voto. 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

Dave Mercer has never boon a possibility

conlldeiu'o of business men i < ml nil con
scientious republicans who will not vote
to send a man to the national loglslatun
who hired himself out to debauch the
states legislature with whisky , wine ant
worse things.
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' '

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.

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.

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.

At various points along the nvonuo stnal
Icloslts painted roil , white and blue nr

Squads of veterans have boon Irudgtnj
through Iho slreets and suburbs of tlio citj
locating old landmarks of the war. Many o
Ibcm gathered .about Ford's theater , it
which i'rosldent Lincoln was assassinated
nnd there were innumerable stoiies exchanged
changed of that dratnailo night , tiomo o ,
them invaded the old house opposite Ford1 !
theater , where Lincoln was carried after he
was shot and where bo tiled. Oiher squad ;
of the veleruns crossed the rickety "lout
bridge , " which was the main thorouchfate
"
of tbo solulers from the north to the "south
duilugtbo war. It was across thisslruolurc
that liurnsido and his mon marched to the
llelaof Bull Run at Iho oulset of the war. It
was recalled loday by Ihosc
who had been wilh Burnsidc
how proudly thev marched and how
eager Iboy were for the light. A huge floral
wreath was hung around the HOCK of Burn'
side's horse and the women of XVuahlngloi ]
bud placed a bouuuollutho gun barrclof each
of the marching solniors. Then wiis
recalled how they hurrioa hack across this
same bridge carrying their wounded and
dvmg and scattering through Iho slreets ol
Wusblnglun afler Iho lirsl great repulse ol
Iho war.
The old Braddock house nl Alexandria
wbero Ellsworth was killed while trying to
pull down the confederate Hag was also n
point of Interest today. In fact , there is
hardly u veteran who has returned to Wash
ington who Is not seeking to locate some
point which to him tells , a story of the war.

It is utterly impossible to flud anybody in
Washington now unless ho bo a resident and
tied down to bis place of business. There
continues to bo such an inpour of visitors ut
tno railroad stations thai no ono attempts to
meet n friend und no committed would try to
'
receive a post or fireol u commander. 'All
trains are from four to ten hours late. It
jomotiinos tukos hours for passengers lo got
JL landing , oven aftur their trains have ( oino
within sight of the capital , ulTorts therefore
to keep track of local people or organizations
are futile. The moment visitors land at the
nations they rush , gripsack in their hands ,
to their quarters unu than put out over the
already crowded city lo see the sights.

The city hall scliomo on which the cltv
council has been grinding away during the
pubt.fow mouths has been discarded and will
bo succeeded bv ttn entirely now idoa. Ac
cording lo Iho now plan Iho present cost of
ofticing the city oftlcinls will bo largely re
duced and much moro convenient and com
modious quarters will be provided.
A resolution will bo introduced at the regu
lar meeting of tho. uoulicil this evening pro
viding for Iho acceptance of an oiler by
Frank Pi von ka to arrange quiuters for Iho
clly in'Uis new buildinc nl 'i'wenlv-sixlh aim
N streets. Mr. Pivotika oilers lo civo the
city two rooms m the basement of his build
ing and Iwo rooms in the second slorv for
$5J a month. 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. Bui it is argued thai iho pro
posed odillco would at tlio host huvii been
only u cheap wooden structure that would
not have been as convenient as the proposed
unices in the Pivonka block.
Accoiditig to the now airnnuomonts thu
basement rooms will bo occupied by the
police court , council chamber and the ofllco
of the street commissioner. In Iho second
slory Ihero will bo ample room for iho offices
of all the other city otllciali' .
