It's a mighty poor day now that does not bring forth at least one new ellglbll ity for the vice presidential nomination on the republican side of the fence. A visit to the parks of Omaha on a hot weather Sunday will quickly dig pel any doubt that the city has made a good investment In those parks which are accessible. James J. Hill indignantly denies that he is mixed up in a colossal timber deal with E. II. Harrlman. Mr. Hill wants it distinctly understood that he chooses his own business associates. The British cabinet is said to be badly divided over Chamberlain's tariff propo sitions. Let the leaven work for a little while and the Biitlsb people will be as badly divided over it as the cabinet. If anybody has yet discovered what advantage has been gained by rushing the water works purchase bill through the legislature In a half-baked condition with an emergency clause attached, be should speak up at once. The extra session of the Colorado leg' Islature has already adjourned. The self-denial of the members cutting short their summer vacation with the state paying expense bills, should entitle them to pose perennially as martyrs. The World-Herald has again disco v ered that Mr. llosewater Is trying to run the democrutlc party iu Iouglas county That beautiful bluff Is used every time the democratic machine politicians en counter some opposition to their own selfish schemes. ' The local coal situation may be de cldedlly discouraging to those who will have houses to beat next winter, but it is not likely that people will work themselves up to any high pitch of iu dlguatlou until the time for filling the coal blu heaves nearer.

No one will quistlou but what Su perintendent IVarse wrote the letter de fining the position of the school board iu the Xutphen case himself without waiting for the aid or consent of his private secretary. All that Is necessary to con v luce auyoue that the signature Is a correct ludei to the authorship, is to read the letter. . It is not the millionaire trust magnates por the. stock exchaiuje plungers who liave suffered collapse iu the contracting market who are entitled to sympathy, but the HX)r, deluded "Investors" who allowed themselves to be tempted hy the f lure of get-Hcn-qulck siMK-ulatlon who deserve the public sympathy. The pro fessional bulls and bears can take care of themselves, but it will take the Inno cent lambs several seasons to grow a hw wool crop. jhk rut invars xtsronswLti In the opinion of Mr. Jatuos It. Keene, a sngnrlous fliinncler and shrewd specu lator, who Is perhaps as familiar as any one with the ways of Wall street and tho influences which operate upon that center of speculation, the over-capitalized combinations are mainly respon sible for the "recent conditions In the stock market. While It docs not appear that Mr. Keeue has boon directly in volved in the stock speculation which has marked the last few months, it Is reported that he Is a large loser through the suspension of a brokeruge firm of which his snn-lu-law Is a member, so that his view of the situation, it may be said has a substantial foundation. Mr. Keene is quoted as saying that he believes "over-capitalization and the disastrous collapse of three or four recently-organized trusts have paralyzed the buyer, produced a general fright and terrible liquidation of good securi ties to protect holders." He pointed out that while this liquidation caused an average decline in the values of secu rities of 35 per cent, bank loans have not been reduced nor the surplus reserve materially Increased extraordinary con ditions which ho .seemed to regard as not Justifying any pessimistic views re specting the future. There is no doubt that Mr. Keene is quite right in placing a large measure of responsibility for recent Wall street conditions upon. the over-capitalized combinations, though it will hardly be contended that this com pletely explains the existing situation. Thrre had been in addition to this a very general Inflation of stock values and an excessive expansion of credits. The "booming" policy iu all directions hud been carried to the extreme and not only capitalists and bankers, but the general buying public also, was brought to realize that the end of that sort of thing was at hand and a process of quldatlon inevitable. It would seem that the financiers whose policy had brought about this situation were either indisposed to or incapable of preventing the collapse fn stock values that has taken place. At all events, none of them, so far as appears, has made any effort toVheck the downward course and much astonishment has been expressed t the seeming indifference of Morgan and the Rockefellers regarding condi tions in which they are assumed to le vitally concerned. It is a matter of wonder, for instance, why J. Plerpont Morgan has made no effort to stay the decline in Steel trust stocks. Mr. Keene is doubtless also correct in the opinion that the public will again buy and that there will be a recovery n values, but it is pretty safe to say that there will be no such inflation for a long time as has been witnessed dur ing the last few years. A WaRMNQ TO KNCiLASD. There is a great deal of significance in what Mr. Carnegie said in bis letter to the IiOndon Times regarding the pro posed policy of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, and while the English peo ple generally muy not regard it with favor, there is reason to believe that very many of them will see in it a warn ing that should bo heeded. The policy which Mr. Chamberlain is endenvorlng to commit the British government to, while plausibly designed to cement more closely and firmly the imperial structure and therefore having an attraction for some of his countrymen, contemplates a sundering of commercial, relations, and possibly political relations also, which to the more conservative thinkers is re garded as extremely hasardous to the future welfare of Great Britain. It means so radical a departure from the course of that country for considerably more than half a century, that few Eng llshmen can think of It except as a dls tlnct revolution and the English mind is proverbially conservative. ' The prevalent thought unquestionably is that a policy which has operated so advantageously since its adoption, ex cept during tho past few years of excep tional conditions, ought not to be changed or departed from until there is much stronger evidence than is now nd- duclble that there is substantial ground and sound reason for a departure. On the Chamberlain side there Is the argu inent. certainly very strong but by no means conclusive to Englishmen gener ally,' that Great Britain is the only free trade' country and for this reason Is at a disadvantage. It is pointed out that while all other countries have tariff bar rlers agalust British trade,, the markets of Great Britain are open to their products. The reply of the opponents of the Chamberlain proposition is that dur ing all the years in which the existing policy has prevailed Great Britain has maintained a leading position financially, Industrially and commercially, and that this fact should determine the question That is undoubtedly the view nt this time of a largo majority of the British people. - - - - Mr. Carnegie's warning is that Eng land cannot afford to adopt a policy that would discriminate against the United States, to which she must 'continue In definitely to look for her supplies of foodstuffs and cotton for her numerous factories. He points out that the world combined "could do neither one nor the other, nor Is there a fair prospect of It being able to do either for generations lie therefore regards it as fatuous folly. under present conditions, "to strike at this tndlsionsable friend by attempting to deprive her of the quality of treat ment she has enjoyed." Mr. Carnegie expresses the opinion that in the event of a policy of discrimination It would be easy for the United States to compel the restoration of equal treatment, point ing out that this could be done by with drawing from Canada the privileges now extended ' of reaching oien American ports through American territory with jtll her exports and. Imports, free of duty. This Is a privilege of great value to the Ikmilnlou, which no preferential policy on the part of the British' government, as contemplated by the Chamberlain policy, would compensate for the loss of. Undoubtedly the commercial relations Itotwecn Canada and the United States constitute the most formidable obstacle to the Chamberlain policy and will very likely prove to be insurmountable, though there appears to be no present promise of that policy being accepted by a majority of Englishmen. According to the latest information two-thirds of the cabluet and perhaps ns many of the peo- dant with hope for the children of the Em pie are against It cralJ lsle tnere 18 "ttl8 doubt. THK CASH IH A THUT8RELL. The Judicial situation in this district Is summed up in a nutshell in the fol- lowing extract from the Schuyler Free Lance, a paper published and edited by John C. Sprecher. the well known pop ulist leodcr of the legislature of two years ago: The republicans of the Omaha Judicial district turned down the bar nominations of seven judges and nominated their own men, although six of the seven nonpartisan nominees were republican. The republicans down there prefer to name their own re publican candidates. The republicans did right, as the so-called nonpartisan judiciary Is a farce. Lot political parties name their best men and then let the voters do the nonpartisan act and select from the lot. The voter should be the one who makes a nonpartisan selection for himself and not have it made in advance for him by any particular set or class of self-appointed schemers. In the common mode of non partisan nominations It means a lew fel lows make a selection and one set of can- dldates are In the field, so the voter has no real choice, only being called upon to ratify the selections whether they be good or bad made by a class. The nonpartisan l Idea Is always a plan of a minority party or a set of schemers who have only that way to success. Nonpartlsanlsm Is proper enough, but It must rest with the voters at the ballot box to be truly democratic.

Some of the papers are Starting in again to rehash the story of Bryan's ote for the Weaver electors in the presl- dentlal contest of 1802 as an offset to the failure of other lending democrats to vote for Bryan in 1800. In Justice to Mr. Bryan it should be known that his L L wv iontr- in ISO" vote for tho. Weaver electors in 1802 was With the purpose Of assisting in the election of Mr. Cleveland by With- holding the electoral vote of Nebraska from President Harrison. The fact that' this democratic ruse failed in Nebraska, although Cleveland was elected by carry ing other states counted on by the republicans, does not change the situ ation. Mr. Bryan rejoiced as much in the success of Cleveland in 1802 as he execrated Mr. Cleveland in 1800.

The outings for poor children attract much attention In "the good old summer time." and are now being more liberally supported than ever. Here Is the way the New Tork Tribune describes the start of one boat load of the youngsters for the pleasure grounds In Massachusetts: "A bee-y and a bo-y and a bee-y, bn-y, bum! Bum, get a rattrap, bigger than a cattrap! Bum, get a rattrap, bigger than a cattrap! Bee-y, bee-y. bo-y. bum! Canni bal! Cannibal! Hurrah for St. Helens Home!" "What's that? A party of wild Indians? Or in It just a group of college men rush ing the foot ball season a little?" "No. You have another guess coming. Just then another volley of noise settled the question. "HI! hi! hi! Chlckery bum! Fresh air nngels! St Helen s Home!" came the yell of anticipated fun from about half a hun dred throats. These same throats were about to be examined by the doctor pre- f aratory to a fortnight's visit to St. Helen's lome at Interlocken, Mass. "That's a pretty good yell.

Happenings of strange and terrible significance have followed In quick suc cessions, however, and they are at last compelled to admit the probability of such a band existing. Paul Prowsky, of W CHnton street. Holxjken, took carbolic scld at his home on June !4 and died. Amor.g those who viewed his remains were Jacob Itoellea and Rudolph Ksmarch. The former lived at 6t Garden street and tho latter at 2 Second , street, Hoboken. On June &' they met In Henry Hunker's salomi, at First street and Park avenue, In Hoboken, In a rear room.

Short Aeconnts and Close Collections Help Commerce. . Indianapolis Journal. The New York Evening Post comments on tha decreased number, of failures this ear as compared with preceding years, notwithstanding tho fact that the stock market has sagged lower and lower, with sundry "street panics" In Wall street, 'and credits this condition to the fact that there Is less of the speculative element In the general business of the country than for merly. So far as the phrase "speculative element" means expanded credits the Post Is correct Every casual student of business and nances has marveled not a little that the general business of the country goes right along flourishing, despite the occasional Wall street panic. Of course, the general business of the country feels these panics, for they are Invariably accompanied by high rc.tes for money, and loanable funds will flow to New York or any other safe place In search of big earnings. Thus every money stringency In Wall street puts lis burden of expense on all legitimate busi ness. But the commerce and Industry of the country seem able to stand the strain with little difficulty, as evidenced by the insignificant number of failures. The Journal believes that the chief factor In the general soundness of business con ditions thus displayed Is the habit business men have acquired f paying as they go and requiring others to do the same. Col lections are very generally thirty or sixty days from date of invoice, merely a reason able time for proper Inspection and audit ing. In some Instances this Insistence on prompt payment of bills has militated against us In foreign trade, but it Is worthy or note that both the English and the French are showing a disposition to follow the American lead In this respect It Is good habit, based on sound business prin ciples, ana while It continues to prevail mere is very mtie possibility of a general panic.

Chicago Iter-ord-Herald. The testimony that Is bring broiiRlit out In connection with the trial of l.uwr. nee Murphy, former treasurer of the Journey, man Stonecutters' union In New York, who Is accused of embezzling $l."..n,j of the union's funds, will furnish many a tt-xt for tne denunciation or labor organisations. It Is necessary to distinguish, however, hp. ween nny bedy and the parnslto wl.li-h thrives upon It, and It would be a sti pld error to assume that the blackmailing hy a few scoundrels hero and tin-re reflects thu principles of unionism. That is merely the. asty Inference of Dconle who are nil Mtrr.V. ness to believe It. At the same time orenn Ued labor should learn from tho revelations In New York and from the comment upon them that one of Its most pressing duties Is to rid Itself of the parasites ami to de- laa a system whlrH shall give them the least possible encouragement. The charges center upon walking dole- gates, business agents, and brtbe-sec-king committees, whoso members, It Is said, nre elf-appolnted and tnako a regular business, , blackmnJl. Collusion txlsts between these various agencies, which extort lnrga, urns of money from' employers as tho prleo of their Influence ln preventing slrlkra or bringing them to an end. The extent of the operations Is problematical, but estimates are not wanting. One employer puts the exactions of a single year at tho cnormoui figure of $2,000,000, while certain rases that are receiving the attention of District At torney Jerome are declared to represent n sum of more than $400,000, which has been obtained from builders and contractors since 1900. If these estimates are exaggerated, and It Is quite prohabln that they are, there H direct testimony to the payment of $10,000 by the stone dealers to a "secret" commit tee of the stonecutters' union, which Indi cates a very bad state of affairs and culls for a double protest. It Is neither good morals nor good policy for employers to submit to the extortion, whilo it is of vital Importance that the extortionists should bn repudiated by labor. Moreover, when wo consider the broader aspects of unionism It Is Impossible to believe that the cause will be sacrificed to the parasites. There Is ln fact so much at stake that such a wanton reckless sacrifice would be proof that vast armies of sober. Industrious and skillful working-men had gone mad together. FLITTING FANCIES.
