The truth of this charge may perhaps be admitted. Fow nations, within the compass of three rations have had such an event- ful history as our own and none have. passed through experiences 8o trying to political institutions. That a people ndebted to the result of great events for their mational exis- tence and the perpetuation of a form of government which they be- lieve to be the best for the governed should desire to recall the scenes and theheroes of the great struggle. If the past, is not to be wondered at. But among all the recurring anni- versaries of our national life there is none which appeals so strongly to the men or touches more tenderly the emotions of every American than that of Decoration Day. It is no anniver- yfor fulsome eulogies of fortune favored heroes whose names are em- blazoned high on the temple of Fame. It is a day on which a grateful ma- tion pays a nation's homage to her honored dead, unmindful of rank or position, and only remembering that they gave up their life that the na- tion might live. Such an anniversary appeals to the noblest impulses of our' nature; it awakens emotions which, aroused to action, are guarrantees of the perpetuation of the Republic and Tnr.

Sharpe, Speaker of Amem- i, Altany, X, ¥.1 = Amid all the corruption of public life, Senator Conkling has remained poor but . N bsidy or Credit Mobilier stig- h to him. He could have made “standing in” with the monopo- jists, as Mr. Blaine and others have done, but he has declared his_indepen- dence and opposed their candidates for e now seck offices, is the -leader of the ey jon reform interest in the city of New York—and,” indeed, in the United States. THE BEe has a hundred times declared that the trans- portation * anti-monopoly * question must take prece lence of all merely political and all personal party issues; and it has never wearied of quoting Mr. Thurber till now.— Repullican. The issue presented to the country by Mr. Conkling’s resignation has no bearing whatever upon the relations between the people and the monopo- lies. Mr. Conkling himself made no such issue either in the senate or before the New York legislature. dutyin the national legislature and surrendered the senate to democracy and monopolies because the President of the United States insisted upon exercising his constitutional preroga- tive of appointing a collector for the port of New York who was objectionable to Mr. Conkling on purely personal grounds. In this issue Mr. Conkling is sup- ported by some of the most notorious. monopoly organs andmonopoly hench- men, and he is also opposed by some of the most staunch anti-monopoly papers. Tn New York city the leading paper and most outspoken champion of the anti-monopoly league, the New York Times, supports the presi- dent in opposition to Conkling. The Chicago Tribune, an out and out antimonopoly paper, is most emphatic in its condemmation of the course pursued by Mr. Conk- ling. On the othet hand the Burling- ton Hawkeye and Lincoln Journal pa- pers absolutely under the control of the Burlington & Quincy railway magnates "and the Omaha Republican notoriously the organ of the Union Pacific are loud mouthed champions of Conkling. Mr. Thurber is doubt- less sincere in his desire to re-clect Mr. Conkling or some other monopoly attorney, is liable to capture Conkling’s seat. For our part we should also prefor Mr. Conkling's re-election to the election of a man like Depew, but there does mot appear to be much danger of such a result. If it should happen Mr. Conkling alone will be to blame. If he was ac- tuated by patriotism and principle in- stead of selfish pride and overbearing arrogance he would never have jeap- ordized the anti-monopoly cause of the life of his party for the mere grat- ification of creating a_sensation. Mr. Conkling is one of the greatest and ablest men this country has ever pro- duced, but this country is greater than any man. Whenever Mr. Conkling recognizes that fact, whenever he subordinates his imperious pride to the common good, whenever he rises above all selfish considerations and plants himself on the platform upon which the opponents of monopoly are raising the standard of emancipa- tion from corporation misrule, he will have onr cordial support. Do coercion cocrce. That is the problem which the English ministry are vainly trying to solve. Sigms of a general insurrection are manifesting themselves in Ireland. M. Coox desires it to be distinctly understood that he is not opposed to sewerage and he even goes so far as to express the opinion that it might be beneficial to arch south and north Omaha creeks. OrrosiTion to public improvements finds supporters in tax title sharks and cent per cent scalpers whose only interest in Omaha is that of sharpers in a twenty-five foot front business house. Nor many months back Dr. Miller expressed the opinion that Mr. Howe's opinions on any subject were not worth a picayune. Tux Ber presents to-day a commu- nication from William Cullen Bryant Allen, secretary of the board of trade, “Dowx the river to the sea” will soon be the favorite song of Nebraska the homage and devotion of its citi- zens. The garlands of flowers which srateful hands have twined around the last resting places of the mnations heroes, are more than funeral wreaths, and honors to the departed brave, whose memory lives though their la- Dors have ended. They symbolize the percnnial freshness and vitality of the principles for which our soldiers fought and typify by their beauty and fragrance the value of national integ- rity and republican government pur- chased at 8o great a price. Not for, the dead alone is this auniversary. Poor indeed would be the lesson taught by their noble lives if remem- brance did not awaken in the heart of their successors some spark of that patriotism and self-sacrifice which they themselves exhibited. Emp- ty would be the honors which loving hands strew in the bud- ding spring time on their graves if the act was mot also accompanied by a. grateful acknowledgement of the ines- timable value of the cause for which they laid down their lives. Beautiful and touching is the simple ceremony by which a people keeps green the memory of her departed heroes. From rock-bound Maine to the shores of the. peaceful Pacific the example of their lives and the lessons of their death are held up for the admiration and gratitude of their successors. Time has assuaged the grief of relatives and friends, but time itself eannot erase the memory of | th their deeds, or render the nation for- getful of their services. The flowers. may fade and the wreaths wither, the seasons come and go, but a grateful and in generations yet to come, point their children to the shining examples of the fallen warriors, and bequeath tothem as a_sacred treasure the ob- servance of the touching ceremonies of Decoration Day. producers.

Schuyler Sun. 1t will be two years or more before the electors of Nebraska will be called upon to decide by their ballots the uestion of women suffrage as regards this state. Tn that time the qustion will be given a healthy agitation and the contest decided in accordance with the cool and sober judgment of the people. The Sun advocates the con- stitutional amendment this far: Give the women of Nobraska the ballot if they wantit. The mere matter of sex is ground too narrow to stand upon and question their right. _ But don't give em the ballot until thoroughly con- vinced that they dowant it. Don't be guided in making your decision by the clamorings of a lot of short-haired women and long-haired men who climb on to every new issue for the sake of a little transient notoriety. They do not to any great degree index the sentiment of the great ty of women for whom this inestimable political blessing s claimed. The women of this country are, as a class, intelligent and well in- formed. They are decidedly good judges of their own wants and to the extent of our experience they never lack emphasis in proclaiming them and demanding their fullflment. By the conditions of sex which a wise Creator has it , the burdens of a family are divided in accordance with what the eternal fitness of things would seem to i ‘manager—the maternal and household Quties rest upon the woman. The world has j along on this for quiet a number of years and the women, instead of de ing, have grown more beautiful and accomplish- ed with every generation. It is barely possible the time has S, kot i it us first be sure it. Every man who cares to know can Mr. Conkling deserted his post of |V tressed by reason of political disfran- chisement, and you will arrive at the very heart of the question. This is not a question of sentiment, but one of prudence and public policy. ~ We have great and abiding faith in the judement of woman. If the in- telligent and loving - mothers and sisters of this Nation or stato asked the right of suffrage, we should feel that there is some grand motive that inspired the request. We should entertain the same faith in her ability to treat the trust intelligently and wisely that abides in every man happiness. And it is these women who should decide the question, and who doubts they would decide it wise- Iyl If they feel that. their homes would be any happier or the world any better by reason of their voting, then in the name of all that is good let them vote.

THE COMMERCE OF OMAHA.

Yours truly, W. C.'B. Ausex. THE COMMERCE AND MANUPACTURES OF OMAHA. To the Editor of Tux Brx: An_error crept into the columns of Tue BEk, of May 27th, in saying that the secretary of the board of trade estimated the sales of wholesalohouses at $40,000,000 in 1880, Tho estimate of the board for the total “‘commerce of Omaha,” including the trade and ‘manufactures for 1880, is considerably more than $40,000,000, as the_official and unquestioned figures will show, when the basis of our caleulations are understood, and the statements taken just as they are made by the secretary} ‘WHAT IS COMMERCE. Omaha has been so constantly underrated by those who have no means of kncwing her internal system of statistics will prove of in- calculablo valte, in establishing her claims to be a commerce city. Let us then agree upon the torms which have been adopted to express the ‘“‘com- merce of Omaha,” including, as the writer holds all the industries, the trade in merchandise, material, machinery, grain, hogs and cattle, and other products handled in this market. The term commerce, then com- prehiends, both the trade and manu- factures of a city, and the statement is hereby made that the aggregato of the trade and manufactures of Omaha in 1880, not only were £40,000,000 but approximate £50,000,000. The board gives the sanction of its official en- dorsement to facts, upon this basis, which are common to the calculations of all other commercial citics. A manifest injustice would be done to the city were the board to accept the sales of 50 or even 100 houses as all the commerce; hence it is only neces- sary to call attention to a ‘summary of 1880 to prove the existence of other elements of growth and_prosperity in tisitrado!ot 10maba AL BT 1 propared grouping of the principal elements of our commerce, (exclusive of reported United States custom house, internal revenue, postofiice, army and railroad disbursement, sup- plies and purchases in_this market,) taking the annual report of Taz Brk as a bagis, 1 find the aggrogate to equal 43,000,000 in value in 1880.
