OHIO democrats are casting about for Bomo ono whom they can pit against Governor McKlnloy in the gubernatorial raco. The choice seems to lie between JI. L. Stewart and W. C.

ONR-THIHD of a cent per mile for riding on a railroad is a rate that must bo gratifying to the most exacting advo cate of cheaper passenger fares. Yet to this maximum lias the rate come , as a result of the unpleasantness existing be tween the Denver & lUo Grande and the Colorado Midland , to points between Denver and the "Cloud city" along these lines in Colorado. GKNEKAT , JOHN M. Coitsis , the hero of Alatoona , died at Boston on Friday of apoplexy. Thus passes from among men another of the gallant soldiers who fought for the unirm cause. The inci dent connected with his heroic defense of Alatoona pass , which became the in- Hpiration of the popular Sunday school hymn , "Hold the Fort , for I Am Coin ing , " will bo intuitively recalled by the announcement of his death. It is too fa miliar a clrctiiiHtanco of history , as is also the entire career of this dauntless and famous military chieftain , to need repetition. His memory will over beheld held in grateful rcmombranco by his patriotic countrymen. TUB farmers of Nebraska must look to their laurels if they would keep in the van with the beet raisers of some of the other states. Minnesota now is casting about with the intention of entering the Hold as a rival In this agricultural In dustry. The bulletin just sent out by the experiment station of that state con tains analyses of sugar boots grown in sixteen different counties. The results obtained sh nv that the only obstacle to sugar beet raising in Minnesota lies in the inclination of her farmers and her capitalists. Sill and climate are. all that can bo desired , Determined efforts will at once bo instituted for arousing a sentiment among the farmers of that state for sugar beet cultivation and among capitalists to enter upon the man ufacture of ougar. TltKUK is a very slight discrepancy be tween the testimony of Moshor's right hand man Dorgan and the subcontrac tors for convict labor and mechanics employed on the cell house walls. Mr. liorgan would have us believe that con vict labor is more skilled and efficient than free labor. Ho also testifies that 81 a day is the regular price for extra Bolcct convletH. The subcontractors do not recollect of paying more than -10 cents a day for picked and skilled convicts and the boss stonecutter testifies that L free labor was clu-apor at the btandard wage paid than convict labjr at40 cents. But the Board of Public Lands and Buildings was not particular how much was charged to the state and Dorgan , as Btato agent , charged up $1 a day in addi tion to the -10 cents a day which the Btato pays for keeping the convicts. The only wonder Is that Moshor "busted" in spite of his soft job. Somebody must have hold him up for more than ho made. TUB Chinese Six Companies must bo amassing a largo fund with which to tight the CiLMiry net. Those who profess to know say that not less than $00,000 was realized by the first assessment upon the Chinamen in this country. The cir cular levying this assessment said that t every Chinaman was expected to give $1 to the Six Companies to pay the expense of employing counsel. But another cir cular just issued demands a further con tribution of $0 from each. Those who do not pay will not be given papers to return to China is the throat contained in the circular ; AH every Mongolian would look upon the loss of the privilege of some day returning to his native land ns equally grave a penalty as decapita tion it is readily soon how potent this throat becomes. Accordingly an esti mate of the great aggregate the contri butions will place in the hands of the principal representatives of the Chinese poojilo In thin country can as readily bo formed. INTllKNCtlKD The number of trusts and combinations defined by the anti-trust law is said to exceed ICO , with a capitalization amount ing to several hundred millions of del lars. These "Immense aggregations of kindred enterprises and combinations of business Interests , " as President Cleve land expressed it In his inaugural ad dress , "formed for the purpose of limit ing production and fixing prices1 are not growing weaker as time goes on and they continue to enjoy immunity from all Interference. On the con trary intrenched monopoly Is steadily K rowing stronger , both in the number of Its forces and in financial power. Kvcry day adds to the vigor of these combina tions for the suppross'on ' of competition and tlio destruction of the smaller in dustries. Kvcry day that tlioy are given immunity to pursue their unlawful course makes them bolder in carrying out the prime object of their organiza tion and increase : ) the dllllcultios of the task which must ultimately bo under taken of suppressing them. "These aggregations and combinations frequently constitute conspiracies against the interests of the people , " said Mr. Cleveland in bin inaugural , "and in all their phases they arc unnatural and opposed to our American sense of fair ness. To the extent that they can bo reached and restrained by federal power , the general government should relieve our citizens from their interfer ence and exactions. " There is no dilll- culty about understanding the nvaning of tliis language and it committed the administration to an early and determined effort to enforce the law against trusts and combina tions. The administration has been in power two months , yet there has been no intimation from Washing ton that this very important matter , af fecting so nearly the interests and wel fare of the whole people , bin leceivcd the slightest attention , or even that it is intended by the Department of Justice togivo it any attention. The country is waiting for some sign from the adminis tration that will attest the sincerity of the inaugural utterances of Mr. Cleveland - land , but so far none has been vouch safed. It would perhaps be unreason able to expect any great degree of activity in this direction pending the complete organization of the department , but this does not preclude some intima tion that will rcasoiro the popular hope that an effort is to lie made to chock the onward march of monopoly and give them relief from the exactions which are constantly bearing more heavily upon them. It is not difficult to understand that the Department of Justice may view this task as a very formidable ono , to he en tered upon with the greatest care. It is formidable , but it canint bo avoided and delay in taking it up will not les.sen the dillleultie.s to bo en countered. The general government , as President Cleveland has said , is bound to use all the power it possesses to relieve lievo the people from the intoi'ferenco and exactions of the trusts and all com binations to regulate production and prices , and it is not doubted that its powers are ample for this purpose. The people are patiently waiting for some indication of the purpose of the admin istration to make good the pledge of the platform upon which it was chosen and the promise implied in the inaugural utterance of the president. Lot not their hope of relief be toj long deferred while monopoly becomes more strongly and firmly intrenched. I'KOnitKSS OF TllK .MIIHTKATIOX. The speech of Mr. James C. Carter , as counsel for the United States before the Boring sea tribunal of arbitration , which was finished Tuesday , bus given its author international fame. It was not a great effort merely by reason of the time occupied in its delivery forty hours , distributed over two weeks or more though in this respect it is per haps unparalleled , but more particularly for the luminous exposition it presented of the American case , the great force of its logic , the splendid power with which it maintained the justice of the claims of the United States , and the brilliancy and iinpreB-nvoness of KOIIIO of its ethical propositions applied to the relations and j inutunl obligations of nations. It was an extraordinary tribute which the pres ident of the court paiil to the great law yer when ho had concluded his speech. The principal points made by Mr. Carter - tor were that the right claimed by the United States to protect the seal in the open sea fs in the interest of humanity , and that while this country asked for a m mopoly of the seals , it did so not for Its solo advantage , but for the benefit of the civilized world ; that polagio sealing is wrong , and that in order to prevent It this cjuntry , having the right of ownership in seals , has the right to seize vessels caught In pelagic fishing. Ho argued that if the United States was given oxclu ilvo control of the seals in Boring sea and a monopoly was thereby established it could not prove an Injury to any other country , for the reason that It would bo impossible for this country to withhold skins from the market to force up .prices , the only condition under which a monopoly becomes injurious. A policy of this kind , ho said , would lead eventually to such an ac cumulation that , in the end , the United States would bo obliged to throw the skins on the market in great bulk and thus lower the prlce.i Immeasurably. It was only by the care and .self-denial of the United States , ho declared , that the healing Industry had boon enabled to exist , thoref ire the protection demanded was only their duo. As to polaglc , or open sea sealing , Mr. Carter was able to present exhaustive and conclusive evi dence , derived in part from British testimony , of its destructive cons < ? quencos , and with respect to this feature of his urgument.it appears that ho was especially eloquent In the con cluding portion of his speech. That the United States has thus fur made a very strong case before the court , well buttroitsod at every point , there can be no question , but It would hardly bo prudent to express an opinion as to the probable result , for It is to bo expected that the decision of the court will Iw determined mainly , if not alto gether , by well established principles applicable to the Issue , POIIIO of which , it IH necessary to confess , would have to bo sot aside in order to ad mit the outlro claim of the United States. Meanwhile the English reply to the American contention will com mand the profound Interest of the people of the two countries directly concerned In the controversy which the tribunal of arbitration was convened to decide. HEC.ISTINU STATK UXES. Thcro Is a somewhat Interesting dis cussion In progress In the states of Washington , Oregon and Idaho regard ing a proposition to recast the state Hues. The plan proposed Is that the portions of Washington and Oregon west of the Cascade mountains should bo combined into a state to bo called Oregon gen ; that the portion of Washington cast of these mountains , together with north Idaho , should form another state , to bo called Washington ; finally that south Idaho and eastern Oregon should bo joined under the niuno of Idaho. It is argued in behalf of this change that It would substitute natural for arbitrary boundaries , bring together areas which have unalugous or Identical interests , and that the people of all three states would bo benefited by the change and the expenses of government re duced. The Spokane ll"vicii' , which lias been giving very intelligent and earnest attention to this proposition , points out numerous advantages that would result from its adoption and which certainly give it a claim to serious consideration by the people of these states. All the territory now embraced in the states of Washington , Oregon and Idaho was originally covered by the territory of Oregon. Washington was organized as a territory in 18T > ; i and Idaho ten years after. As stated by a writer in the New York .S'mi , the conditions then influencing the formation of these new territories have ceased to exist. At that time the greater part of the population lay west of the Cascade mountains , rail roads wore unknown and at seasons of Uio year communication was practically suspended. The pioneer felt the neces sity of easier access to the seat of gov ernment and so the Columbia river was made in part the dividing Hue. Since then , continues this writer , centers of population have shifted , rail roads have developed the country , and there have been found many absurdities and obstacles to convenient government. Kastorn Washington and eastern Oregon gen , with nothing in common with the western sections of those states , are cut off from the seat of government by the Cascade mountains , and the people of northern Idaho are required to pass through Washington and Oregon in traveling to and from their state capital. Manifestly these are very cogent rea sons for a change of state boundaries , and as there appears to bo a strong and growing sentiment in the three states favorable to the proposed plan , its ulti mate adoption may bo regarded as at least probable. The New York Sim suggests that a matter of more imme diate importance is "tho need of re habilitating Nevada by adding to it the greater portion of Utah , so that it may have a population and resources suitable to a state of the union , and fitting it for competition with its vigorous and advancing neigh bors , " but while the suggestion of the .SHII is certainly worthy of consider ation , since Nevada is steadily declin ing in both population and resources , it is hardly relevant to the question of recasting the state lines of Washington , Oregon and Idaho. This so.5in likely to become an issue in tho.so states of par amount importance. Tim public has never had any very clem- understanding of the tin situation in the Rl tick Hills , nnd no satisfactory solution of the mysterious shut-down tit Hill City has over been afforded. That tin exists thoi'o has not betm doubted , but whether in quantities uufllclont to prove remunerative , considering the vast expense of operating tlio mines , has not been determined in popular opinion. The Rapid C'ity Itrpulilicaii now comes forward with a plausible explanation for the suspension of operations just at the time when commercial tin from the Hills was about to bo placed on the American market. It says that the Hole and only cause was the failure of the Knglbhmon , so largely interested in the mine , to pay their stock assessments. Lord Thurlow and another heavy stock holder wore the only foreign momboi-s who paid their share of the heavy expense of building and putting the mill in operation. The Amor- lean stockholders , tiling of the whole burden , determined to stop work until the Hn lishnion cumo to the front. The further statement that seventy-live tons of black oxides , the product of the teat run , tire now in the bins of the Ilarnoy Peak mill will go fur to carry assurance In the richness of the mines. The Itfpublic'tn now claims to have reliable information that there is a strong probability that the differences which led to the suspension of operations will bo settled at an early date. Tin : American Forestry association has submitted a protest to the secretary of the interior against the further granting of permits to cut timbar on public lands , excepting where careful supervision can bo exorcised over it in the public interest. The association Hiiggests that "thoro Is now enough tim ber in private hands to work in hard ship oy withholding for the present a further supply from the public domain. " The popular interest attaching to the ollorts of the association to prevent the denuding of the public lands of their forests will doubtless secure from Secre tary Smith the attention that the Importance of the subject demands. The unscrupulous rapacity of some men In taking advantage of the oppor tunity afforded by the issuing of mieh pormitR , to steal timber for commercial purposes , has defeated the solo for which the law was ever intended. Its original object was to supply the needs of planners , who , without such privilege , would bo compelled to bring timber from a distance at great trouble and expense. The knavish practices of those timber thieves have denuded hundreds of thousands of acres of public domain of their natl\o forests and on- rlchod the plunderers accordingly. Yet it is possible tha4hey ( have kept within the strict lottoUW'tho ' law. It Is no sat isfaction , in th'i. ' connection , to learn that upon this , plon the great forest plunderers of tho' ' lno lands of Minnesota seta are llkoly tdoscapo ; prosecution and to remain In undisputed possession of the millions of dollars which they have thus stolen from. , the treasure of the pooplo. Secretary Smith can have no more important Subject to engage his attention just no.w than the considera tion of the forest-association protest. TUB question of establishing a moro Intelligent recognition of the electoral franchise Is ono that must sooner or later engairc tbo attention of the states. It b Inconsistent to expect that a man can vote intelligently or always hon estly who can neither rend nor write. The time cannot como too speedily when these educational qualifications shall bo esteemed necessary to entitle a citizen to the high privilege of an elector. The state of Massachusetts established these conditions as a basis of suf frage more than a score of years ago. But the only state that has boon progressive enough in this direction to even approximate her commendable example - ample has been the southern state of Mississippi. Now , however , California proposes to attempt to have the electoral privileges of her citizens upon educa tional requirements. At the next elec tion an amendment will bo submitted tea a vote ol the people restricting the suf frage to persons who can read and write , with the exception of citizens who are ever 00 years of ago. As the amend ment has been framed in response to a popular demand the probabilities are that it will bo ratified. At'CO'JDiN'o to reports from Washing ton the Spanish government Is not dealing fairly with the United States in regard to the reciprocity arrangement for Cuba and Porto Rico , and if such is the case , the dntjr of our government-is to demand a full and faithful compliance with the terms of the agreement. The indications are , however , that Spain's faithlessness will bo taken advantage of to strike a blow at the reciprocity policy , which is not in favor with this admin istration. It is also said that there is some trouble with the ar rangement with Brazil , and that it is not working satisfactorily to our merchants chants , though the cause of complaint is not so great as in the case of Spain. These statements may have some sub stantial ground , but ) the motive of the investigation instituted to ascertain the operation of this policy , and from which these facts nro said to be derived , is a desire to abandon the policy in its en tirety , and there Is very little doubt that a way will bo found to do this. If the insurrection1 in Cuba amounts to much it will help-to this purpose.

It wns part of the program for the visiting party to pay their respects to the mayor after the review In front of the city hall. The aldermen conspired to USD this opportunity to display themselves and become part of the affair. Rather than per mit the guests to sco the Inevitable "exhibi tion" the mayor absented himself beyond the time set for the presentations. Then , with nn apology for his "unavoidable tardi ness , " the mayor picked the entire party of foreigners up In carriages and carried them olt to a hotel for a luncheon as his private guests.
