IT is a dull day when some now im

Omaha It is now reported that the
Cudahy Packing company contemplates

This Is an important enterprise and

IT is reported that the now Crospo

Tun financial reforms of the popu

MAJOIJ PADDOCK is grubbing lu a

South Omaha are determined that their

Mr. Stanley , the republican opponent of
Paddock. Mr. Stanley Is a resident of

TllK IlBir hns never hesitated lo ex
pose and denounce corruption , venality
nnd abuses in the public Instil tlons of
the state.Vhonovor any Information
of a trustworthy character has 11110 to
its knowledge indicating that , the affairs
of a state institution were not being
honestly conducted , - this paper has
promptly plsicud the public In possession
of that information , regardless of whom
it might hurt , A single instance may
IH ) cited when lust your wo exposed
abuses at the Hastings nsylum , causing
an invo4tlg < ition by the UoarJ of Public
Lands and Huildings , which resulted in
the dismissal and punishment of the
culprits. HopoatoJly for years TUB
Hii : : has called attention to facts In con
nection with the public Institutions
which suggested wastcfuluu s and dis
honest prac'.ii'os ' , and it has many tlniiw
urged the duty of frequent investiga
tions of those Institutions , knowing Iho
constant danger there is that their man
agement may bccomo corrupt. The
state authorities hnvo no tnoro impera
tive duty than that of keeping a vig
ilant watch upon the conduct of the
nlTnlib of the public institutions.
Kogimling Iho charges of venality
and uUhoncity mtulo ag.iinst the olli-
clals of the nsylum for the insane at
Lincoln , the testimony thus far brought
out by tlio investigation is very damag
ing to the late steward and certain
other employes of that institution , but
no proof has been wossnted connecting
any state ollh-of with tlio corrupt and
dishonest practices. It has not been
shown thnl any of thcso otliccr.s hud the
Icsist knowledge or tu pioioii of the rns-
ciility tint wis going on , and no fair-
minded iiiiui will claim Unit thuy are in
the rumotos-t degree responsible for
them , ( iennral Lee o , himself formerly
a inotnbor of the Board of I'uhlic Lands
and Building ? , and who will not ha ac
cused of partiality to the republican
oIllcialH who now constitute the board ,
has .said that they are not responsible
for what Iris Liken place in the asylum.
So far , then , as the instigation of the
iveatigsilion was Intended for political
capital , and therec.in bo no question
that this was the moltvo , it has failed
with respect to the republican otato
ofllciuH
They are in no wise implicated in the
charges , nor can they fairly bo hold in
any measure responsible for the wrong
doing of Iho asylum employes. It is
not possible for thosa olllcitiU to look
into all the details of the mauagbiuont
of the public institutions. Their multi
farious duties would not pc'rinit them to
do so , oven if such a service could
reasonably bo expected ol them. In ad
dition to the duties of their several
dices they constitute the State Board
f Education , the State Bo.ird ot Trans
portation and the State Buard ot Public
lands and Huildings , having as part of
jf its duties the care , leasing and sale
if all school lands. Surely this elves
hose ollieinls a sulllcionlly wide range
md variety of responsibilities.
Tlio developments justify the investi
gation of tlio Lincoln asylum , which
should bo prosecuted thoroughly and
he rogues unearthed and punished , but
bore is no political capital in it against
, ho republican state ollicors , and the
real purpose of its instigators is there-
'ore defeated. That it will have good
'csults is to bo hoped. It ought to have
11 wholesome influence upon the man-
igcment of other public institutions ,
nnd it suggests that ono of the moat im-
jortiint duties of the next legislature
ll be to provide bettor safeguards
: igainst slipshod methods and disiioncst
) raetices in the institutions of the slate.
T1IV KVIDHXCH ACCUMULATES.
An advance bulletin issued by the
suporinlendiint of the census gives some
fonoral statistics of the manufacturing
ndiibtnes of the city of Now York ,
which de.servo the attention of the dls-
tiuguibhod free traders who are nn-
gagcd in the business of casting dis
credit upon Iho reports of statisticians.
The facts given ngreo with those fur
nished by L'jmmisjionor Peel ; , in show
ing a greatly increased number of man
ufacturing industries , an increased num
ber of mon employed and an advance in
wages. The information refers only to
Now York city , but it ii valuable bo-
'iso the manufacturing enterprises ot
the metropolis are inoro divoi'.sllled than
elsewhere and embrace a vast munbar
of industries. The largo incro.iso in
the number of establishments reported
is a strikiiig feature of the rupnrt , the
percentage of increase being 103.18 per
cent , but the pircontago of increase in
wages paid is still greater , being 1U7.8 ! )
per cent. The wages nro not only
greater actually , but they are also
greater relatively , the average per
hand increasing from $127 in 1880 to
$05 ; { in lh')0 ) , or 62.1)3 ) per cant. After
making all posslblo allowances for the
fact that the present emiinoratlon is
inoro thorough than the last and for
other minor circumstances that may
have improved the showing , it is btill
apparent that a wonderful advance lias
been undo in the number and magni
tude of the industries ana in the wages
paid to their employes.
The inquisitors who have boon trying
BO diligently to discredit Peel ; will
hardly have the hardihood lo make a
similar attuuk upon Superintendent
Porter , . 1'ho census figures fully sup
port those of the conunUaionor and are
also in harmony with the reports of
statisticians in other states who have
lately boon dealing with the subjects of
manufacturing and wages ,
Does it not scum a strange thing that
a great political pirty : , aiming to obtain
control Of the government , should bo en
tirely dependant upon the success of its
bITorts to deceive the voters of the coun
try concerning these matters of business
and wagesV The democracy has no hope
that is not bus id upon the belief that the
people can bo fooled. It ha ? loaned upon
broken rcod.s before in the course of its
checkered history , but never has it
rolled upon a support BO wo-jk as its
present position on the tariff question ,
Manufacturing industries must bo pros
trated nnd wage earners impoverished
if the democratic free trade idea is to bo
juMltioil ; nonce the prostration aud im
poverishment required are furnished to
order by the dcmoaratlo newspapers and
orators and dilated upon in il'jinoeriitlu
platforms. A more transparent exhi
bition of fulso pretense and downright
frauJ wn never sonn. In ono rojpnct it I
has sunally failed of its purpose. It
was designed lo set worklngmon at
enmity with tholr employers and to
create a wide-spread fooling of dissatis
faction among the great wage earning
classes by representing the proprietors
of tin multiplying Industries of the land
as the bloated beneficiaries of n robber
tariff and the wage earner himself iw n
down trodden al.ivo. This result hna
not boon achieved to mij great oxiont ,
though the flAinoa have Inon vigorously
fun neil wherever labor difficulties have
existed. The object uunod at is so plain
to even the most ordinary intolllgonca
that few have been deceived.
The fict3 presented by the statisticians
concerning the enormous growth of
American industries under protection
and the improved condition of the wage
oirnlng class are Interesting , but after .
all thuy only conllrui tha popular belief
by corroborating what every person sees
on nil sides , The proofs of prosperity
cannot bo concealed and sophistry can
not explain them aw.iy.

The pro cnco here unheralded nnd un-

This Is a very interesting piece ot
news aud does credit to the fertile im
agination of the m.in at the helm of the
Omnhn l'\ike'2'\ictory. I deem it proper ,
however to correct a few slight discrep
ancies between fact and liction.
Mr. Miehenor passed through Omaha
Thursday on his way to the coast , lie
passed by the World-llcruld rookery
and called at Tun BKK building. For
this piece of offensive partisanship Mr.
Miehenor should bo hold rigidly ac
countable. Inasmuch as I was absent
when ho called at Tut : BIK building the
"significant consultation" did not mate
rialise and Mr. Michener loft Omaha
carrying his campaign secrets with him.
I rculixc that my membership iu the
national committee has. boon a profound
secret to most , peoplb 111 "Neferabka and
so far as I can learn the national com-
miltoo has not yet received that
' mighty protest" against my continu
ing on the committee. The only
iigmciitof truth concaraing that pro
test is that my refusal to commend
candidates whose rucoi'ds nro inde
fensible has a Herded material for politi
cal mercenaries to indulge in their
periodic ghost dancesMy place on
the national committee is not a sinecure
and 1 have vorn.illy notified Chairman
Cady that I am ready to retire at any
time before election should the elate
central committee call for my resigna
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Michonor may have come to
Omaha on a mission for all I know , but
ho certainly did not dream of question
ing mo in regard to my own conduct or
the policy which Tin : BKI : is pursuing
in the campaign.
Inasmuch as I had voluntarily re
quested Mr. Uurtor , chairman of the
national committee , to place all contri
butions for Nebraska at the disposal of
the btato committee , because 1 did not
want to handle any of the campaign
fund , the story that Miehenor came to
placate mo by conceding my demand to
handle the campaign fund , and the
alleged delivery to mo of a largo package -
ago of money , is decidedly amusing.
Why the committee would send mo a
package of money instead of a draft
passes my comprehension.
As a matter of fact not a dollar o na
tional committee funds has boon sent to
or received in Nebraska up to duto. On
Iho contrary , ! have psraoually advanced
several hundred dollars for foreign cam
paign literature for which the commit
tee is yet to remit.
With those trivial exceptions the
story of the World"Uentlil Is substan
tially correct. K. ROSKWATKR.

There oucrht tobo no question about
the defeat of Congressmen MoKoighan
and Koui in the Fifth and Sixth dis
tricts. It must bo tint the constituents
of thesa represent itlvos are fully con
vinced that it was a great mUtuko to
send them to congress , and to re-elect
thorn would ba an inexcusable blunder.
They not only misrepresent the real BOH-
tiinentsof the people of Nebraska , but
tlioy also discredit tholr intolligonoo.
No other two men wore of so little con
sequence lu congress , and yet there \vas
opportunity for them to have made them
selves felt if they possessed the ability
to do so. They wore ignored nnd disre
garded , not from any unwillingness on
their p'irt to bo rocognl'/ou , but for the
reason that it was very promplly discov
ered they had no claim to recognition ,
So far as any interest of Nebraska , was
concerned they wore entirely useless
and undoubtedly svould be under any cir
cumstances. A constituency that sends
such men to congress does n positive
wrong to the whole stato.
The republican candidates in the Fifth
and Sixth districts are capable man ,
who would bo serviceable to tholr con
stituents and to the stale at lartro HE
representatives in congress. Prof. W.
K. Andrews , ir. the Fifth , is n man ol
line acquirements , whlla IIou. Jnmos
Whitoboud , in the Sixth , has overj
qualification for a useful representative
in the national legislntuic. Both ol
these gentloincn are familiar with the
wnnta oft Nebraska und in heart }
sympathy with the best eontltnont nnd
aspirations of'its people. They nro
thorough republicans , who. in cuso of
the election ? * republican prominent
and house of ro'p Qscnlntlvos , which now
scorns almost a silTcd , will bo able to do
the slnto good s vlco , and in any oveut
would represent it creditably.
McKoighan nijflMCum have not a single -
glo valid clalm p the pupport of an In
telligent and progressive constituency.
Thuy are inol'o"Apolitical chnrlntttna ,
whoso fullurolii , prlxMto life is proof of
Iholr unworthlnodj for any public sta
tion , and least of all for that ot repre
sentatives ot a great and growing stale
like Nebraska , with an intelllgont , in-
dustriou" , thrifty and honest pooplo.
The voters of the Fifth mid Sixth dis
tricts , wo confidently bollovo , ' will not
discredit their Intelligence by electing
.Mich montobaiiks as McKoighan and
Rom over such capable mon as Andrews
and Whllohead.

The spirit ot loyalty to western inter
ests which animates the breasts of all
who have settled In the west is almost
proverbial. Perhaps it hr.s never boon
more strikingly illustrated than it now
is in Nebraska. The I1 'ino piitronago
movement started a little inoro than a
year ngo wns based upon thin well
known spirit of local pride and feaity to
local Interests. It was designed to apply
to this fetnto and to promote every le
gitimate interest in the state. The
effect which it has already produced in
Omaha is remarkable , and outsiders
who have in past years counted with
absolute confidence upon a good market
for their goods here are now in many
cases reduced to tiio necessity of seek
ing other territory. In certain lines of
manufacture Omaha controls the Hold
that eastern concerns considered easily
their own > i year ago. Travelers for
houses dealing in several different lines
'
have la'toly expressed their surprise
upon finding thtil Omaha and the blato
of Nebraska have no further need ot
their commodities and that they cannot
regain their lost ground. Tills is not
altogether duo to a general popular loy
alty to homo interests , but is partly ac
counted for by the fact that Iho local
producers cannot bo undersold in their
specialties ,
Everything moves forward when the
people have a common purpose and are
able to recognize Common interests. As
the local manufacturing enterprises in
crease in strength and capacity thcv
will bo yet bettor able to cope with com
petition , and every forward step they
take will bo an advantage to the com
munity in which their interests are coti-
lored.
GOVKHXOII 13 ( > ns is working hard
for the democratic cause in Iowa , but
trustworthy reports say that his efforts
are not being ro'warUod. The speeches
of the governor areJiirgolv taken up with
arguments intcndjad to prove that the
tariff is a tax , which is a very unprofit
able task in viowjjol ibo. fact that many ar
ticles can bo bought at about Iho amount
of Iho duty on them , s > o that the gov
ernor has'lot . been able to .make many
f < v * * ft * ' ' * -v -
converts to this view * Ho also adheres
to his statement of some two years ago
that the farmers of Iowa are producing
grain at a loss , which is wholly incon
sistent with what ho said in his annual
message of a few months aso , and which
no.irly every thrifty farmer in the btalo
knows is not true. What most seriously
handicaps Governor Boies , however , is
iho studious omission of any reference
to the wildcat currency plank of the
democratic platform. In this respect
the governor follows the example of Mr.
Cleveland , but still it is not satisfactory
to the honest money democrats , who are
quito numerous in Iowa. The republi
cans ot the Havvkeyo state are very con
fident , and evidently they have good
reason to ho.
AT LAST the authorship of that "stato
bank" feature of the domocrntic platform
has boon revealed. Up to this week no
ono could bo found who would confess to
the origin or advocacy of that egregious
piece of lunacy. But the Atlanta Con-
ftilnlion. elated by its state victory , came
out Monday in favor of the state bunk
and aflirmcd that the south originated
Iho clause. And if Cleveland is elected
Ihe south , which will bo the greatest
factor in olei'.ting him , will control his
administration , and wild-cat banks maybe
bo confidently anticipated. The Consti
tution would have boon wjsor to have remained
mainod silent until after election.
ANVTHijfn wo might say concerning
the action of the bar looking to the ro
ll romonl of Judge Scott from Iho bench
would bo construed by himself and his
friends as persecution. For that reason
and for the reason that wo do not want
to focstall ; any stop Iho members of the
bar may see tit to take in the premises

is seine poetry in ' ' ' 'Tho Light of Asia"
aud it is hardly { mncolvablo that the
author of Iho linea on the late laureate
can write poetry.
TllK throats of yfyigounco against the

There nnpcars to bo un intense feeling of
soreness In India over the report that the
Uritlsh India oflleo is opposed to n gold
taudnrd and holds that silver should bo
llowcd to find its nalural level nnd Hint
qutllbrium should bo maintained by n re-
ision of the fiscal systnm. Ono loading
icwspapcr describes the decision as showing
i cynical indiffnronco to the interests of
ndia. Another says that it will go near
enduring the government , of India by Eng-
aud impossible. Otbpr Journals use
anguaeo scarcely loss Blrong. The articles
n some English financial wapors nro very
iidvorsoly'9criticisod , and it is pronounced nn
ixtraordlnary thing that anybody should
peak of legislating In a panto when tha sll-
er problem has been engaging the attention
if the authorities and of thinking men lor
ho past ten or fifteen years. The corre-
pondentoftho London Times at Calcutta
writes : "Tho statement that the agitation is
icpt up only by a fo'.v European residents is
'cfuted ' by the fact that the petition of the
Currency association has now obtained ever
0,000 signatures , inoro than half of which
are those of educated natives. There can bo
no doubt lhat the Indian people , who are
; iblo to form an opinion on the subject , are
not sntisiiedvitii their currency. On the
contrary , they arc rapidly becoming allvo to
Iho fact that what tboy nave hitherto re
garded as money has already lost over 40 per
cent of its value in the eyes of the world ,
nnd that there is every prospect of further
iloprecioUon. India will no longer bo satis-
lea with vague recommendations to wait
and see how low silver will lull. She de-
: namls that something should bo ilono imme
diately to save her from tha grave evils
under which < iuo is now suffering and from
gravorones threatonins her in the near fu
ture , and the liaiglish people may rest as
sured that any further delay will cause gen
eral and profound discontent In this coun
try. "

The correspondent of the Lonaoa Times at
Paris , spoakitijr of the latest Bonnpartist
manifesto , says that it is a great pity Hint
Prince Victor cannot got the plebiscite ho
pretends to bo so anxious for. as it would
demonstrate very effectually the political
liopolossni'ss of his situation. Ho says :
'Prince Victor Napoleon could not obtain
a million of votH , and if I sny n million it is
only that 1 may not seem to wish to exaggerate
gerato things , for I nm convinced , and I
have reasons to think ns T do , that this fig-
ute of a million U far too largo. In Paris ho
would have tlio 103,030 votes which are tit
the disposal of any ono wishing to overturn
existing condlllons , whatovnr Ihoy may bo ,
and ho would have besides in certain special
comers of Franco , in socialist and ncltatlng
conlers , some hundro.ls of thousand * more.
Hut this would be all. The militant Uonn-
partists , it is true , have taken soclnl-
ism under their patronauo , and can
rely on these who profess the so
cialist ideal lo rally to Ihelr side. Hut
the only socialism that they will liavo will bo
the socialism of disorder , nnu not the runt
socialism which always stners very clear of
them , and rightly so. It is to bo regretted
lhat reasons of order , of economy , ana of
morality even , are opposed to such an at
tempt ; but the day when the republic would
consent to stand such a proof would bo a
cause for congrauilntion , for the chief roiult
would bo the assurance ) that Prlnco Victor
could not hold up his head. It 1s n grout
mistake lo imagine Hint Iho country would
elva to him a majority if the election of
president of the rapublio wore handed ever
to universal suffrage , Perhaps Prinoo Vic
tor knows this as well as ovary body else , and
oven bettor than anybody , and ho perseveres
apparently In iMs ii.lstultu , because but tor
that ho would have no longer any reason for
existence , "

The rapid itcroaso in the numhor of
French torpedo boats Is attracting much at
tention from nnvul < nen In England , und
thorn has boon a long and animated discus
sion In the pro is of iho question whether the
Hrltlsu navy U not dangerously weak in this
respect. The onicinl view of the admiralty
Is that torpedo boats are chlolly useful as
moans of dcfoasu agalnet a moro powerful
navy , and that as the Jlnlish navy is the
most powerful of all It would In case of
hostilities naturally ItiUo iho aggreislvo and
would not bo compelled to rely upon a largo
tornedo boat flotilla. Homo eminent naval
officers , hownver , hold that this is an utlerly
tuUiakoii view and that iho Ilrltlsh fleet
oucht to bo provided with torpedo boats In
proportion to itsslzo , By ihoondof next year
the French will fcavo 'lioO torpedo boats ,
and the authorities are beginning to wonder
where tboy are going to find senior lieuten
ants la command them , The nrospect U that
many Junior lieutenants will have to bo
pressed Into service. Tha flotilla ewes its
oxistcnco chiefly to the late Admiral Aubp ,
who was a great behover In tbo torpedo
boat and swift cruhcrs and a determined
opponent of big ironclads , tittico his death
his policy has beet ) modillnd a little , but llio
torpedo branch of thos'-rvlco has been main
tained in a condition of great cfllcionoy so
far as inera numbers ara concerned. It is
worthv of note that those dimlnullva craft
met with far tnoro limn tliolr shnro of disas
ter In tlio recent French flntl Urlllsh
mamuuvro * , but this fact , after nil , proves
nothing as to tholr viihia la actual warfare ,

are told , to offset the rconnt declaration of
General D.m Micklos. Tlio man who wrote
tills address wrote a deliberate lie when ho
declared that Mr. Cleveland , as president ,
"vetoed only a lot of unworthy private pension -
sion bills. " Mr. Cleveland vetoed the dependent -
pendent pension bill , which n republican con-
grijsb afterwaras insscd nnd Mr. Harrison
signed. But before vetoing the bill which
gave relief to 1ho veterans of the 11111011

sion bill for survivors of the war with
Mexico because it ns demanded by the
