Dr. Orover Cleveland has none the better of his successor In the matter of alphabetical appendices to IIH ! name. After the lapse of two days our amiable contemporary , the AVorld-Her- nld , has discovered that The I'.ee's ac count of the vote of the Hartley Jury was correct ami its own all wroiij ; . Western ! railroads for once profess themselves "entirely " .satlMlud with the volume of passenger trallic. And In the meantime minors of rate wars continue to keep the situation prominently before the public , The list of subscribers to exposition Block resembles the ladder of life In that there Is always room at the top , and differs from It In presenting plenty of room at the bottom and all the way up as well.

It takes the popocratlc vision to nee "perfect fusion" In Iowa when a third of the members of the populist con vention have boiled the nominations and walked out with promises oC an inde pendent populist ticket.

Seventy live dollars a day for editorial space and promises of police commission patronage were IrresNtlble temptations. Hut can the World-Herald explain why It ahk-lded Hartley before and lifter his re-election ? Wa.s It because Treasurer Hartley hnd deported a large sum of state school money in a certain Omaha , bank on condition that part of it bj loaned to the. owners of the worm-eaten political fence ? How does It come that Mr. Hartley has during his trial held several eoitlideiitlal conferences with the chief owner of the World-HeraldV IH the current rumor true that purl of the Hartley shortage Is traceable to the re form concern thai , bravely lights , hone-si republicans and ahvnys co-operates with dlslioncst public olllclals of all parties ?

It Is also true'Unit The Hoe supported Mr. Holln's candidacy , believing him , as ovcry onu else believed at. that tiino , to be perfectly honest and trustworthy. Hut after Henry Holla was found to li'ivo betrayed his trust and had ad mitted ids guilt , why did the World- Herald braxenly assure the people of omaba that there was no shoitnge what ever In Holln's accounts and tluit he was an honest man' . ' Was It li-caiiM1 at that very time the cash drawer in the city treasurer's oliice contained a memoran dum slip of public money advanced by l.olln to the owner of the political fence'/ Or was It because Mr. Holln had bson one of the oliicers of the bunk through which Hartley , the republican state treasurer , had accommodatingly come to the rescue of the great reform organ ? All the squirming , till the contortions tions and all the ink-slinging of the World-Herald can not. and will not cover the indelible spots in tins record that stamps it as a dangerous political fence 'patronizedami supported by nearly all the scoundrels thtit have pl- ! laged the people of Omaha and Ne braska. ,1 QPKSTIOX OF TK/MOlTr. .Senator Allen has given an importance to tliu attack on Mr. Hryan by Prof. Hateman , the leader of the Maine mid- dle-of-tlie-road populists , in referring to the matter in the senate , which it would not otherwise have possessed. 1'rof. Hatemnn charged that the proffer of ? lr > 0 < ) by Mr. Hryan to the populist na tional committee was made on condition that no action against fusion should lu taken by the people's party before the next national convention , lie also charged that Mr , Hryan was guilty of "political forgery" in placing the name of liateinlin to the letter of ivitillcatian in Hryan's book , he never having signed- the letter , but on the contrary refus''d to do so and repudiated the sentiments of the letter. Senator Allen pronounced the stat-- niont of Hatemnn regaldlng the con tribution false and the testimony of Sen ator Hutlor , chairman of the ponnllst national committee , was to the Manu effect. Tlio proffer of siwas ( ) imi'li ? and declined , but Hntler says thi're wayne no such condition attached to If as al leged. Mr. Hryan explains the ne of Hateman's mime by saying that he found It .signoil to the letter of ii'itllU-i- tion as published in ilie ncwspttpcr . Hatoman makes it response in which ho does not ictVr t < nhecontribution , though he has promised to present the whole matter to the attention of the national conference of tlio mlddlo-of-the-roitd populists which meets in Nashville July . There Is a question of voracity in volved and the evidence Is unfavorable to Hateman , but he may be able to make a stronger showing Inter on.- Meanwhile j II Is Interesting to note that there Is a very strong tendency on the part of llu- middle-of-the-road ' have - - - populists to' nothing mole to do with Mr. Hryan and to resume Independent position they held before the fusion of last year. Till , ' tendency is likely to bu very much strengthened by the coming national conference. niiiKyr.ii , r/uw ; . The representative of a number of commercial associations In Japan whe lms come to the I'lilted Slates for the purpose of advancing. If possible , the trade relations between tin- two coun tries , says that the Japanese prefer ( > trade with this country rather than with any of the Kuropcan nations and expressed - pressed the opinion that a larg. > recipro cal trade migilt very easily bu hull ! uu between the two nations , He said that as a riiK the Important products of Jaji'.in do not in any wayconlllct with American manufactures and he could sou no reason why the- trade of both countries ronld not bo greatly extended to their mutual advantage. Some. conocsMun was madn to the products of Julian by the senate a few days ago and It seems to bis settled that the proposed duty on tea will not be imposed. It Is of course desliable to cultivate trudtt wlUi tint OrluuUl coun tries and particularly with Japan , whose enterprise and progressive spirit will make her n generous customer of any country that wins her trade , but wo can not reasonably lip expected to seek that trade by sacrificing any of our own in dustries. For example , the free admis sion of Japanese matting would proba bly result In destroying , or at any rate In greatly damaging , the domestic In grain carppl Industry. Wo also have a silk Industry that would suffer from oriental competition If not fairly pro- tcclod. Wo ought to take care of these homo Industries , In which our people have largo Investments and which em ploy n great deal of Inlror , oven at the risk of lo lim some Japanese trade. It In pot HUely , however , tlmt In any event tlio Japanese wlll'dof-llne to do business with this country If they lind It to their advantage to buy what they need hero. If wo can supply them machinery nnd other things iliey require of as good quality and nt as favorable prices as any other country undoubtedly wo shall have our share of their trade , wln'ther wo make tariff rates on their produ-ts high or low , so long as wo do not make the rales prohibitive. Commercial rela tions are not determined by sentiment , though that may exert some Inlluenco , bill by praellcal considerations and thu "Yankees of the Kast" are quite a < much subject to such considerations ns any other people. While , therefore , we should do nothing to repel Japanese tr.ulo , we are not likely to lose any of It by taking proper care of our own In dustries. j' < umr.s ixOHM. . The political campaign In Iowa thlt : year will not bo without Interest , al though republican success may safely be regarded as assured. Two years ago the republican plurality was over rv.i.Olio and last yeai' It exceed.'d ( . " . ( ) ( . There IH reason to believe that the republican party in the Hawkeye state is stronaer today than It was last November ami the action of the so-called d"inocratie state convention can hardly I':1 II to In crease still further its strength before nrxt November's election. It Is simply recognizing the sound common SOIISLof a majority of the voters of Iowa to as sume that the conglomerate ticket nom inated at Dos Moines and the prineipleu eimiiolati'd there will be overwhelmingly repudiated at tlio polls. The ticket is the most extraordinary in its composition ) ever presented to tlio electorate of a state. It is made up of two so-c'll"tl ! democrats , two silver republicans - publicans and one populist. Here an > ropro "iited three political element * which are in full agreement as to nothing except the free and unlimited coinage of silver at Hi to 1. Such a ticket cannot comnnnd the full sup port , of either of these elements , and ospwially will it fail to command the support of many of those democrats wTio still believe in maintaining their paity dis tinction , not only in name , but by plac ing in noirinaliou only tried and true rcpros-Tiitalivos of democracy. 'Such deinocrats cannot alllliate with or lia\v faith In silver republicans , and l > opulsN ! ami while they would not ivjoet tlie -.sslstanco of thfse political elements in electing democrats to ofllco , they do not \\mt : tliem on a- ticket labeled demo cratic. Already there ! s defection in the populist ranks and it Is safe to nay that all tlio free stiver republicans will not support the entire ticket. This remarkable combination i-sally stands for nothing but free silver and the spoils , for although the convention declared devotion to Hit * principles eiinn- chitod in the Chicago platform there can bo no doubt that , thf free silver repub licans do not endorse that platform in its entirety. If there are any who do they have no right to call themselves republicans. Free silver wns fully and fairly presented to the voters of Iowa last year. They beard it thoroughly discussed and they bad ample time to deliberate on the subject. Hy a repub lican plurality of more than < ! . > ,00 < ) they rendered their verdict against free sil ver. Only a few other states rejected the heresy more overwhelmingly. That verdict , domonstiatod that the farm-M-- of that great agricultural slate bollov ' in an honest dollar and what they thought on this subject last Novomb.T th-y still think. The f-.rmors of lowi are as intelligent as thof'e of any otlr r slati ! ! n th < > union and they are not to be caught by the free silver delusion. Moreover they are honest men and have no desire lo repudiate thuir honest ob ligations. They know , too , that whih1 business conditions aiv not all that could ! > . > desired , It is mil true that since thf presidential election they are marketing their products at a less price than ev-'r In-fore. There need bo no doubt about the re s' ! 11 of tint ( ilccllon In Iowa this yoav. That state will continue In the repub lican column , because a large majorllv of Its voters believe In the protection of American Industries and In the main tenance of a sound currency. What has bvcomo of the World-Her ald's false and malicious chaige that County Attorney Hnldrlgo could not be depended on to do his duty in prose cuting Hartley ? Have not the da'ly proceedings of the tilnl and thu verdict of the Jury convicted thu World-Herald of making groundless accusations against olllcers who have b.H-n fearless In the enforcement of the law ? Yet when It llmls that Its baseless outcry was altogether without jnstillcatlnii that sheet has not the decency to make ac knowledgment of the services ren dered by Mr. Haldrlgo In bringing Hart ley to the bar of justice. Hawaiian annexation Is not to ho ac complished without the protests of other nations. Japan promptly entered objec tion lo tint pn > iM > .sul and'Great UiiUiln promises to take a hand shortly. The nations of the world will certainly not allow n jirei'iilent to b < sut In this ease wit lion t making their positions perfectly clear. There Is uo use speculating whether Mr. Hryan would have vetoed a tariff o : ; wool or not , Mr. Hryan is com mitted lu 1'u.vor of lice wool , but as President IjJifliloy Is the man whose signature wTf [ nike * the tariff bill effect- Ire as law , n reasonable wool schedule Is sure to bo enacted.

Ohio olllco- seekers are sure that the Ohio man's chances for a Job would be all right If there were only more Jobs to be dis tributed. The structure which will be specially set apart for the entertainment of the children at the exposition may bo called either the Children's Hiiildlng or the Ctlrls * and Hoys' Hullding. but It will serve a good purpose under any name If It only affords pleasure to the little ones. The police commission Is s-ild to bo waiting foi1 the sentiment stirred up by the ni'irder of oillcer Tlodenmn to blow over. Hut the popular feeling that Ihe police force Is Incompetently olllcered and demands Immediate and thorough reorganization will not blow over. Prof , llatcnmn of Maine has a way of saying very unpleasant things about his follow populists.

Tlio fnllnro of HIP salmon In tlie tipper Columbia , It was cnndii.led , was due to the multiplica tion of fish apparatus on the- lower Columbia and the enormous rntch.
