Chicago will bo the center of Interest
during1 tlio next thren dava not only for
the United Stiitox , buUor the ch ill/.od
world. Todiiy begins Iho exorcises Inci
dent to the dedication of the Columbian
exposition , which will open next May
and remain open six months. Ibis most
Interesting event will be celebrated by
inagiilllcont clvinand millliry pageants.
Mr. Henry Wattorson of Kentucky and
Mr. Ch'uncoy M. Depow will deliver
orations , and every day will bo tilled up
with exoicises of the'tnoH attractive
and instructive character. Chicago
will ontcrt.iln tons of thousands of people
plo from every part of the country , the
states will bo represented by their high
est olllcials , and altogether the dedica
tion of the great exposition will bo one
of the memorable events In Iho coun
try's ' history.
The magnitude of the great enter
prise which , during half of next year
will be the world's attraction , and by
far tlio grandest the world lias over
seen , Is comprehended by few. The
statement that there are to bo in our
exposition sixty acres more under roof
than wore covered by tlio rnmblntiil
buildings of the Paris and Philadelphia
expositions will help to an appreciation
ol the ptujicndnus proportions of tbo
Columbian World's fair. Tlio largest
single Ijt'llldlug ' , that devoted to manu
facturesand liberal art" , is to cover
about thirty-one acres , and \vlll have an
pollinated sealing capacity for over 200-
OHO people. The exposition Imildlnirs
propci not including the state build
luffs are toba of sucli iilinuuslons that
their combined roof n go will coyer 1" > ! )
acres , and oven this does not renrcsont
the space that will bo devoted to exhib
iting the products ot the earth , of man
ufacture's and arts , for there is gallery
room enough in the buildings to make
the exhibit cover at lo.isl " 00 acres.
The money hide of this -jro'it under
taking is oven more diflleu 1 to roall/-j
It will lake not less than ? S,000,000 to
pii > for the exposition structures alone
nnd it is.estimatod that nearly $ lonO- ! !
000 will go into the grounds and btii'.d
in ! > , that over ' 30,000,003 will bo re
quired for administration , whileIho
oust of operating the fair during the six
months of its life will bu somol.r > 0t)00 ) ,
so that the outlay will aggregate about
$17hniCOOO. Thls'lsn muinlieontbmn , but
the purpose to be crvod will amply re
pay it. AS to receipts it is estimated
that they will reach W.,000,000 ) , and if
tlio conditions are favorable th's largo
amount will undoubtedly bo roali/.od.
The only thing that threatens to endan
ger the bucco.is of the exposition IM a
visitation of cholera , which would of
course keep Europeans away and lead n
great many of our own people to stay at
homo and avoid all risk of encountering
the disease. But tlio danger from this
source is doubtless exaggerated , though
the consensus of opinion is that Ibis
country is very likely to bo visited by
cholera next year. The dedication of
the exposition , tlio exercises of which
will bo inaugurated today , will renew
popular interest everywhere in the
great undertaking , which may bo ex
pected to steadily grow until the open
ing next year.
1 1IOSI ! SOL'TlltHlX OL7'K.IO/.S.
The outrageous treatment of General
Weaver in tlio south is rightly ascribed
by Mrs- . Lease to the purpose to "pro-
servo inviolate the solid -.outh. . " Tlio
fact that Weaver \vas a unio.ii soldier
had little or nothing to do with it. The
populist party had developed , sulllcient
strength in that section to become
menace to democratic control and
the democratic managers determined to
make war upon it , adopting the brutal
methods common to that section. The
south is to bo kept solid at every hazard
and a democratic houthorn mob is no
respecter of persons. It will insult or
assault a woman as readily as it will a
man.
If the outrages perpetrated upon Gen
eral Weaver and his companions arc
not resented intolerance will grow in
the south. The most elVcctivo way to
resent them is to make a "olid north and
west and re-elect a republican president.
Uvory intelligent populist ought to see
that unless thin is done nnd Cleveland
is defeated the result will bo in MTeet an
endorsement of the southern outrages
upon the candidate of tlio people's party.
The election of Cleveland , whether by
the electoral college or by the house of
representatives , would place the south
ern democracy in control of the govern
ment and wo should know what to ex
pect from that. With the executive
and congress Bubjoet to tlio will of that
element of the democratic party the
country would have a bitter experience
during the next four years.
The election of General Weaver is
impossible , and lie can got no electoral
votes except , perhaps , in states that arc
now counted aa being republican. This
would bo to the advantage ot Mr. Cleve
land , so that it is entirely correct to say
that a vote for Weaver Is a vote fet
Cleveland. Former ropublicaiib who arc
now with the populists cannot profoi
Cleveland to Harrison , and all uuol
mu t hoe that unless they vote for the
latter they will certainly hoi ) ) to scuun (
the election of the democratic candidate
Under existingtiirciiinstant'ca they couli
make no graver mistake .than to d <
this.
So'ithern intolerance and outrage
must lo rebuked , and the most
ivo way to do it is by electing a ropub

A nvj.st impui'tunt judicial decision ro
latiiig to the long and short haul clausi
n of the inta3tit3 | : co'.mnarco law , whicl IUh
if will all'oat every railrovl : in the United
iis Stntos , w.is delivered last Monday b > ;
is ilmlgo Brewer of the United States cour
id of appeals of the Eighth circuit. Til
( nrrcachlng oll'oet and natlqniil import t3t
nnco of thu decision consists'in the fac
that it is a rovors.il of the hitherto prc
scr vailing construction of tno long an
cr short haul clause , and tlius upsets th
ikv basis on which rest the tnrin"clnrgc
vof of every rallroau in the country , nooaa
of dilating a revision of rat as. The dt
or cUlon declares the foundation supporl
lag the railroad legislation of the wosl
orn bltitos to rest upon an orroneon
view of the meaning , intent and logi
to effect of the much dtsoussod clause , an
l" it wipes out of existence the vast cot
of ru'os that has boon adopted for the
regulation 07 railroad matter.- ) .
The decision holds tint no railroad is
j > ( | ulrcd to arrange Its local r.itos on
the Insis of its through ratoi , and that
through rates flro untirely distinct from
local r.itjs whenever the through rate
Is established by a combination between
two o. ' more road4. In other word ? ,
Hint If a railroad has a through r.xto
from a point west of Chicago to the SOA-
bo.xrd , and the part ot the through rate
given the roa'l from Chicago westward
to the shipping point is less than the
rate tlio rallro.id charges for similar
freight batwoen thn shipping point and
Chicago , yet such a slate of facts consti
tutes no violation of the long and short
haul claUH3. The opinion coos so'far as
to hold that it two companies by agree
ment make a joint tariff over both Hues ,
or any part of tholr llno.s , such a joint
tarilT Is not the b.isis by which the rea
sonableness of the local tarilT of cither
line Is to bo determined.
A fine distinction is drawn by'tho de
cision on the limning of the word
"line. " Ills hold that whan two comp -
p inies owning connecting lines unite
inn joint through t-iriff they form of
thn connected ro.uiin now and inde
pendent lino. The two r.illroads have
then become throe lines , and each may
establish rates for itself. On thin dis
tinction tlio on tire opinion hangs , the
language of the decision balng "that
where two companies owning connect
ing lines of rovl unite in a joint
through tarllT , they form for Iho con
necting roads practically a now and
independent lino. Neither company
is bound to adjust iU own local tarilT to
suit the other , nor oompoHablo to make
a joint tarilT with it. It may insist
upon charging its local rates for all
transportation over its lino. If , there
fore , t.wo companies by agreement tualto
a joint ta-lIT over their Hues or any
pirt of their lines , such taint tarilT Is
not a basis by which tno reasonableness
of the locul tarilT of either line Is de
termined. " Obviously the elTcct of
this decision must "bo to rovolutloni/o
the tariffs of tlio roads of the country
as adjusted to the long and short haul
clause of the i'llorstito commerce act.

A convention of representatives of llio
Industrial Alliance of Now York meta
a few days ago and adopted a. plat
form. This declares it to bo the purpose
ot the alliance to promote the welfare of
Amoiican wage workers , to provide
remedies for evils that monacn the inter
ests of labor , and to help to perpetuate
the economic principles lying at the root
of our national prosperity. Thu plat
form endorses the policy of protection ,
and says : "Wo know through experi
ence that protection moans high wages
and social comforts and luxuries for
workingmen , while free trade moans
low wages , poverty and degradation. "
Reciprocity was endorsed , and the fol
lowing utterance was made regarding
tlio currency : "Honest money is aoso-
lutely essential to the prosperity of
workingmen , and any change in the laws
which regulate ban Its and banking is to
ho condemned when the result of such
change threatens us with the ovlls that
were associated witn the wildcat banks
of thirty years ago. " The concluding
plank of the platform i an endorsement
of the republican presidential en ndidates.
This utterance of a representative
body of Now York workingmcn cannot
fail to have an important inllucnco upon
the campaign and the election in that
Blato , and it will doubtless have more or
less effect upon the minds of workingmen -
men tnroughout the east. Now York is
n great manufacturing state , and the
men who are employed in its vast and
varied industries know what they are
talking about v/hon they declare in
favor of maintaining the policy of Amer
ican protection. They have had the
host possible opportunity to witness its
working ana experience its effects upon
labor , and are prepared to speak from
a clear knowledge of what it has accom
plished in elevating and improving the
condition of labor. The evidence of its
benefits is to bo found in their homes ,
in the swelling volutno of their savings
bank deposits and the comforts they
enjoy in comparison with the labor of
any other land.
What is Iruo of the workingmen of .
Now York applies equally to those of
ether states whore manufacturing in-
nnslrics have boon largely dovolopod.
The gratifying labor Hlalistics of Now
York are complcinantuil by Ihosu of
Alas-mchuseUs. Pennsylvania , Ohio and
Illinois would undoubtedly upon inves-
llgtilion show a like alalo of fads. The
Irulh ib tlutt American labor as a whole
has never boon moro prosperous than it
is now , and in no ether country are the
rewards of labor nearly as generous aa
they are hero. Comparisons of wageH
in Ihls country and in f roe Irado England
for like employment show Hint the nd-
vu n In go is immonuoly in favor of the
American workingman , and llio differ-
r oni-o i btill greater when comparison if
made with olhor Knropoan cotmlrios
To prolond lhat this liuppy condition o
tblnga i.s not Uuo to protection In to dis
credit evidence of the most convinc
) ing and conclusive character. It is no
easy to understand how any intelligent
workingman can doubt that the onb
safeguard for American Inbor is thn
policy which f orient and builds ii |
American industries.

O't. Tun annual report of the Woator
it- Union Telegraph company prospu
itUS
US some interesting facts concerning Ui
USml business of one of the greatest corpora
nd lions in Ihls country. During the poi
do year the earnings from rnoasagca wci
$22,043,425 , n pain of 91,400,000 over last
yinr. The aurpftl ) ft the company on
Julv 1 , 18JI , xfiO$11,117,711 , which ,
with the prollts Will operation during
the Inst year , amounted on .lu y I < 18)3 ) ,
to 818.810,233. ofWnlch $1,300.000 was
applied to dlvlJclfils , $ TOOOJ to inlor-
esl on bonls ii'idalout $10,000 to sink
ing fund appropriations , leaving a sur
plus for the yeiio < > f $10,570,127. The
marvelous growUxof the business of the
compir.y is shoiyV bv the fact that In
ISt'.S . it had 07.030 inlloa of wire , while
now it has 7I,00'miles. ! ) [ ) Tlio number
of moss igo.s sent in/-lho former year was
about 8,000,000 , while this' year it
reached 02,003,01)3. ) The rceolpU of the
company have increased from $7,000,000
In 1-S07 to $12,5,700,000 in 1802 , nnd the
prollt9froin$2,011OJOto $7,303,000. In
spite of the enormous growth of this
corporation ami the great Indro.ise In
its profits there has boon a steady re
duction of lolls until tno average cost
per mea-Mgo is now considerably loss
than lia f as high as it W.IH in ISO" . It
is needless to say that circumstances
over which the company hud no control
are responsible for this.
Tin : charge preferred in .ludgo b-'or-
guson's court that when suits are on
trial involving the Interests ol corpora
tions th"i'e are always two men present
who inako a business of tampering witn
juries is one that should receive prompt
attention. Punishment of the moat
severe kind should bo moled out to the
guilty persons if the accusation is sus
tained by proof. The statement that
the jury in an important case in the
H line court spent the night In playing
cards and carousing instead of consider
ing Hie evidence nppoirs Icy have been
virtually admlilud , for thq court repri
manded the jury and threatened to
punish any future olYeiiso of that kind.
At tlio best the jury system is open to
many criticisms and' the least that can
be demanded ih serious consideration of
the cases submitted and absolute free
dom iroin the remotest biispicion of
briucrv and corruption.
Tun Toronto World declares that
"annexation cannot over bo without
strife' ' and that ' 'he , therefore , who is a
Canadian and argues for annexation is
arguing for civil war. " It is a pity that
our Dominion neighbors should allow
themselves to indulge in such foolish
talk. There is no excuse for their dis
play of passion in discussing this sub
ject. If annexation ever lakes place it
will bo when public sentiment in Can
ada demands it , and wo do not believe
that over Hie lory press of that country
will deny the propriety of submitting to
public sentiment. . Of course the violence
of thu opposition is duo to lory enmity
toward the United.-States , but there is
no ground for the > nssumplion that wo
wish to acquire OHnada , Why should
the citi/.ens of the'United ' States trouble
themselves on that pubjojlV
Tin- : result of the action taken by the

The delimit attitude of the combine over
faiuce tlio actions were commenced
against it in Pennsylvania indicates
that the robber barons propose to play
their game of bluff to the last moment.
They have plenty of money and the best
legal talent at their command , but it re
mains to be shown that they can defeat
the ends of justice. It is to bo hoped
that there is no foundation whatever for
the intimation that they can dictate to
the courts.
Tun Congregational church of Ne
braska , which is now holding a conven
tion in this city , is one of the strong
churches in this btate and its delibera
tions interest many thousands of people.
There are present delegates represent

braska , which , with- their Sunday
schools and their allied hoeict'os ' , embrace -
brace a numerous membership. The
delegates are entertained du-ing their
stay in Omaha by members of tlio local
churches , and it is tn bo hoped that
their visit hero will bo pleasant and
profitable in every respect. If the first
day's proceedings of the convention maybe
bo taken ns a criterion , there will bo
bomo decidedly animated nnd intorest-
irjg discussions.
PKUHAPS the commissioners of Doug

there Is , i very hnrd light over the legl laturo
on account of the sent In the United Stntos
senate , but thnt the state Is in excellent
shape for the republicans. It is claimed that
there will bo no trouble nbotit Harrison
carrying the state.
A loiter from Illinois received this ninrii-
iiiK snys the ropnbllc.ins are waklni ; up In
that state , and that their nicotians uro nil
largely nttonded. There is no lacK of un- i
thusiasni to bo compluinod of , and perfect
conlidcnco is cxtirossud that the st.ilo will
bo solldlv republican in November.
From Washington was received a letter In
which it Is stated that the state Is all torn
up locally , but thnt the republican national
ticket is not involved , except perhaps to ho
beni'llted by tno Increased interest tn the
contest. Tbo fact that Mr. Bennett , the ro-
puhllr.m national commlltocnian , has bolted
ttio local ticket hns caused consloernblo of a
muddle locally , but the writer states thntthis
will not hurt the republican national ticket.

Tomorrow will bo a sad day at the white

to the uresident in the past few months. Tt
will bo the thirty-ninth anniversary of tha
woddlng of the nrosidont and Mrs. Harri
son , and nstoad of a day of festivity It
will bo nno of mourning. Mrs. Harrison's
condition bhows no material change today.
She seems to have lost nothing since yester
day and through tlio day she has bad several
hours of sleep thnt seems to have beun in
some degree refreshing. She hus coma out of
her sleep In the past week with slrenclh di
minished and when she shows no loss of
energy It is n subject for rejoicing. Slio was
so muco ucttor thnt the president took Mrs.
Nowcomcrnnd Mrs. Dimfnloicoiit fora short
drive to got the frosU nlr this aftornoon.
IJoforo this , the president had held his
regular reception nnd had shaken linnets
with about seventy-Ova people.
Tolcfcrauis were received from Indiana this
morning saying that Mrs. Harrison had
been reported dead. Mr. Ilalford answered
those. Hussoll Harrison , who sprained his

The opinion ot MM. Mary J' . LeaseM
given by her to n repri'sautntivo of tha
Inter Occnn and printed In detail , cntitiot
fall to oxrrclso n strong Influence upon Ida
alllnnco people of the whole country , but
especially upon those of Kansas nml Ne
braska , In which s'ntci she Las a strong
personal following.
No man living has Uono so much to create ,
to org nl/c , to Inspire "Iho people's party"
ns Mrs. Lease hns done. To great mental
.tlreiiKlh and lo a wonderful power ot oratory
she has mUed nn honesty of purpose thnl
linti caused her character to bo as highly
roapocted ns her ability has boon greatly nd-
mired. Newspapers tlint , like the Inter
Oaoan , hnve disputed or ildlculod her con
elusions m-ver have questioned the Integrity
of her purpose. Mrs. Lease und pcrsoiulod
herself tlitil tlio times were rloo for political
re volution nnd thnt every wlioro , nnd particu
larly In llio southern states , there was a do-
mnnd tor the deposition ot "tho old parties"
nnd nn lustnll-itlon of n new purty As to
the soul ti , til lo.ist , she now Is undnroived.
She now knows that frco speech , u free vote
nt.d n fair count nro denied as bitterly mid
ns resolutely to the people's p.ivlas to the
u'puhlic-an uariy In the sotithovn states , and
knowing U .sho is bold omniuMi to say so.
The politic lii'iiurnlVc.iver , ns presldon-
tiul camlld-ito of his party , may condom ) t'iu '
Insults and thu nntrases perpetrated i pen
himself mul the gifted iviimau wiioJCIMIH
pnuli'd him on his southern tour on the plea
thai they worn offered by ' 'young rowdies nnd
hoodlums , " but the womunlv honest } of Mrs.
Lease scorns nil such palliaton , nnd she em
phatically declares tlint they were not tha
deeds of "young rowdies , " but of wall organ
ireil leaders of southern politics nml sortuty
Nor dou < she cunllne hcr-iolf to vng 10 em
pliasls of declaration , she iflvos datt-s nnd
names of ulacos nnd persons. She gives evidence
donco that would pass In anv court.
llnd Mrs. Lease boon n reader of nml bi1-
Hover In tlio luactnngs of the Inter Ocean ,
.she would have been nparcd much huinllia
tloti. For example , long before her visit to
Wnveross , which Is In ( .ionrgia , where ns she
says "tho trouble llrst bognn , " the Inter
Ocean published certain ( icclnrations of n
hodv culling itself "The Democratic Club of
Wnyoross ; " ono of thorn was to this ofloot :
"Wo , the mombcr.s of the | icimocritlc : club of
Wnvcrns-t , declare nl1 persons not of our
political laith to ho enemies ofsociety , nnd
notify them that wo sbnll -accordingly. . "
This'wns not the resolution of these whom
the now polite Uuucr.il Weaver culUoung
rowdies nail hoodlums,1' lint ot men
whom the clear sighted and courageous
Mr . Lease recnrnuos ui loaders of south
crn opinion. In Atlanta , Ciu. , whoio
the Indications of vloluncovoro so threat
cnlng as to ciuiso ( lepcrnl Weaver to
cancel nil of his unfilled engagements In
Georgia , It l.s but n short time since n mob
protected by the police and encouraged ov
the mayor burnt in olllgy a t'nllod Slates
ofllclal who had ob-'VO'l ' tlio law governing
civil siorvli-o nppointments. Hut Mrs , Lenso
wus nn honest enthusiast who believed that u
butter spirit was brooding over the southern
mind. She thought , nlso , that at any rate
the boasted chivalry of the south would bo
strong enough to prevent Insult to a woman.
She now Is disillusioned. Neither ago nor
sex can restrain that cruelly which Is the
outgrowth of habitual contempt of law tn the
southern states In no bar-room of the vilest ,
saloon of n northern city would ft womanly
advocate of temperance bo assailed by such
coarse epithets ns the organized democracy
ol the south showered upon n womanly advo
cate of political reform.
"It wns only pai'tmlly , " snys Mrs. Lease ,
"because General Weaver had bui'ii n north
ern soldier thnt hi ; and i were ubuhed mid
insulted , it was mainly to preserve inviolate
n solid south. A ycurngol.iOiier.il Weaver
wont through the south and was given u fair
hearing , but. there was no largo third party
then. " This Is truth. It was only when
opposition to the democracy through llio.
agency of n thlru party lhrationed to become
formidable tlint its loaders were subjected to
such persecution ! ) ns had boon meted to republicans
publicans for years.
As to thn so-called elomocrutlclclorynl
the late election in Georgia , Mrs. Lonsu
truly savs thnt the majority might , as well
have been made 170.UOO ns 70,000 ; "they
know how to count , " she buys. 'Lilts leads
her to confess that she Is opposed to "tho
unwritten but everywhere observed force
bill of Iho southern democrats. " In no
southern state la there wanting an "unwrit
ten force bill , " carried into effect by
Intimidating insults to women. by
assaults with rotten ocgs , by blows ,
and bv murder when tieodlul. Mrs
Lease " distinctly charges organi/cd con
snlrncy to murder horsulf und General
Weaver. As a politician General Weaver
mav seek to deny or to bollttlo these out-
rap'os. As a woman , bulioving in govern
ment based on morality and ns a. loformor
sookniR to destroy oligarchies , Airs. Lonso
prnrlaims them aloud.
She comes to a practical conclusion also
from tholr open nnd frequent perpetration.
U'o give it In her own words : "Under thosn
circumstances the election of Cleveland
would bo a practical Indorsement of those
tilings , nnd ns mien would be nt once the
shu'no nnd the danger of the republic "
