Bt to his mewory in the hearts of h yimen—monunients that will re- o longer than sny towering marble Lot the Tssue be Made. Shall the republican party through the state convention declare its choice for United States senators? Congressman Weaver, through his brave organ, volun- teers the proposition that the nomination of Van Wyck's successor be made at the coming state convention, and the name of the eandidate chosen shall be printed upon the state ticket in the same manner as that of other candidates. This suggestion, made with the object of ruling Van Wyow from the senatorial race track, well commends itself to the supporters of Senator Van Wyck as well as to his opponents. By all means let the issue be made and squarely met. We believe that Van Wyck is the choice of nine- tenths of the republican party of the state, ana they may as well express their will through their delegates in the state convention and direct the party man- agers to print Van Wyck's name on every republican ticket. The opponents of Senator Van Wyok are of covrse very confident that they can down him in the convention a great deal better than in a legislature. They rely uvon the corporation method of packed conventio and bulldozed delegates. Nebraska, however, is no longer a pocket borough for railrond The new generation ot republicans are intelligent enough to act without instrue- tions from railroad headquarters, and they certainly will not allow the worn out political hacks who have for years misruled the party to dictate its choice for United States senator. The rank and file of the repuplican party very seldom are consulted as to their preference In the choice of senator. The candidates, heretofore, have never dared to appeal for a popular endorse- ment either by convention orat the poll General Van Wyck is the first senator coming up for re-clection who has a record which challenges impartial dis- cussion. He has acquired a national rep- utation which will bear dissection even by his worst enemies. It is only right and proper that every man who applies for Van Wyck's position shall present the credentials on which his claim is based. se men are ranged side by side with the senior senator in convention he will lose nothing by a comparison. The republicans of Nebraska cannot discuss senatorial candidates too sooun nor too much. The dark horse should have no place in the senatorial race. If Van Wyck Is to be retired, they demand a successor who will be abla to represent them if not with as much ability at least with equal firmness and integrity.. The republicans of Nebraska do not propose in this campaign to follow in the foot- steps of the Ohio bourbons when they retired the old Roman Judge Thurman to replace him by a coal oil dummy. Corporate monopolies and their henchmen will raise the battle cry of “Anybody to beat Van Wyck,” but the republicans will insist upon somebody instead of a nobody. For our part, we most decidedly favor Mr. Weaver's plan to nominate the sen- ator. If there is any man who commands the respect and confidence of a majority of the party better than Van Wyck let him be named. We haven't heard his name whispered yet. The names we have read about as candidates are prin- cipally suggestive of a still hunt and the lightning roa. By all means let the committee include in its call the choice of senator. The local conventions then will declare their pre- ference and send delegates in full accord with their choice. —— Showing Their Hand. The revelations of democratic hostility to civil service reform now making are not in themselves surprising, nor will those familiar with the character of thav party find cause of astonishment. in the methods by which {ts leaders in congress shall now or hereaftor attempt to nullify the civil service law. Yet wo find Mr. Dorman B. Eaton addressing labored let- ters to Mr. Samuel J. Randall in defense of reform and in deprecation of the ef- forts to destroy it, and Mr. Cdrl Schurz consuming bours in talking on the same subject before the Massachusctts Reform club, as if these ardent advocates of the reform policy had discovered some unlooked for and startling fact. Certainly no intelligent reader of current political history can have entertained a doubt as to the position of the demo- cratic party on this subject. It is im- placably opposed to civil service reform, as it is to every other reform which might put the slightest re- striction upon its command of the spoils, and it will exhaust every means and resource, however unfair or unscru- pulous, to nullify and defeat such reform. The fow men prominent in the party not in sympathy with the gencral sentiment can be counted on the fingers of two hands, and not one of them could secure an elective office by democratic votes. The democracy of Ohio thrust Mr. Pendleton aside at the very first oppor- tunity after-the passage of the civil ser- vice law, and 1t cannot be doubted that Mr. Cleveland would have been ove: whelmingly defeated had the democracy of the country supposed he would stand for the observance of the law as he has done. In the last campaign in New York the democracy was arrayed in unequivocal opposition to eivil service reform, and mainly upon this the full party strength was rallied to Hill, who is now among the recognized leaders in the anti-reform camp, with undoubted aspirations to a lugher station which he hopes to reach by pandering to the spoils-seeking proclivities of the party. The tremendous pressure President Cleve- land has had to contend against is familiar to the country. In view of this and much more that has become history there is nothing surprising in the reve! tions of democratic hostility to reform now making. It has been suspected for some time that Mr. Randalll wasin hearty afliliation with the spoils-seckers, and his attitude in the debate of Wednesday in the house shows that the suspicion well founded. It is consistent with the Machiavellan character of Mr. Randall that he should be found now not only antagonizing the president but renounc- ing a position wlich, until recently, he was believed upon good grounds to hold, The method proposed for nullifying the law is not by direct and straightforward attack, on the broad and fair ground that it is w» principle or policy which ought not to be maintained, but by indirection. . It is proposed to make it & condition of the appro- priavion for this seryice that it shall be THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JUNR 11, 1886 available only when the rules of the civi service commission are so framed as that the names of all applicants for offi- cial appointment from any state, found duly qualified for examination and with- out regard to age, shall be sent to the head of a department or other officer charged with making an appointment. The object of this simply is to assure the appointment, in the great majority of cases, of democrats, which such a rule would accomplish. The business of the government would undoubtedly go on just as smoothly and efliciently if there was no civil service law, but the method of nulli- fying the law proposed by the democrats is not the straightforward way of dealing with the matter, although it isentirely consistent witn the character of that party, New England's Hobby. The representatives of New England in congress are not disposed to permit pub- lie interest in the fisheries controversy to die out, and they lose no opportunity to press this issue upon popular attention. Apart irom the importance of the matter as an international question, and as af- fecting the welfare of a large interest, the solicitude of the New England con- gressmen may find further ground of justification in the circumstance that the United States is represented 1n England by a minister whose predilections are be- lieved to be quite as much English as American, and whose sense of duty may require to be stimulated by a strong ex- pression of popular sentiment at home. Furthermore Mr. Bayard did not at the outset manifest a very hearty concern in the issue, and while in fairness eredit mustbe given him for a recent exhibition of some zeal, certainly no harm can come from maintaining something of the pres- sure whieh produced it, “Lhe latest expression of New England sentiment upon this subject is contained in a bill introduced in the house a few days since, the object of which is to pro- tect the freedom of commerciul inter- course. It provides that whenever the president shall be satisfied that Ameri- can vessels ave denied the privilege of asing supplies, bait, and other com- | articles, in any port or ports of any foreign country, he may by procl mation prohibit the ve of such coun- try, or any designated d ct, port, col- ony, or dependency thercof, or any class of such vessels, from entering American ports or excreising commerecial privileges therein, a violation of such proclamation to work the forfeiture of the vessel and the fine and imprisonment of the offend- ing ofticer. It is very likely that a meas- ure of this kind would have the approval of a large majority of the American peo- ple, for whether the interest be great or littlo in the controversy directly affect- ing a New England industry, among the people of other sections of the country, a common feeling, equally strong every- where 1n the nation, will approve the policy of protecting American vessels against unjust and injurious discrimina- tion on the part of other nations or their dependencies, and there is, perhaps, no moreeflective way of accomplishing this than by closing our ports to the vessels of any country which shall deny to Amer ican vessels the fullest commercial priv- iliges in its ports. The Festival. The musical festival has opened. The work of the first evening was a pleasant surprise, even to those whose expecta- tions were raised the highest. Handel's immortal oratorioof ‘“The Messiah’ was presented with a completenessand finish, which few of those who listened to its music had ever heard excelled. “The per- formance was more than creditable to Omaha. It would have attracted atten- tion and generous praise in any musical center. The leading artists needed no introduction and call for no extended comment. Fursch-Madi, Pierce, Huntington and Broderick have been heard before in Omaha and the warmth of their reception evidenced the pleasure which they always afford to those who are fortunate enough to listen to the exercise of their talents. But hearty commendation is due and will not be withheld from the other participants. The chorus did good and honest work., In several instances it rose to the level of very ligh artistic excellence. The large orchestra filled well their part, while Mr. Pratt held his forces well in hand and conducted with his usual brilliancy and faithfulness to the score. One of the most pleasant surprises was the perfect accoustic proporties of the exposition building. Every note could be clearly heard in the most remote corners of the structure. The succeeding concerts of the festival should be patron- ized by even larger audiences than that which attended the first. They will well deserve the bost that the people of Omaha can give them, PRESIDENT CLEVELAND hasresumed his executive functions, and his accomp d young wife has taken her place in the white house as the ‘‘first lady of the land,” with every assurance that she will honor the exalted social station. Every consideration of propriety demands that the president and his wife be relieved from further espionage and permitted to enjoy all the domestic retirement they can secure, without fear that any Paul Pry of the press will give to the world, with embellishments, every act of their daily life not concealed by closed doors and drawn ourtains. There has been “something too much" of salacious sen- sationalism in the work ot the so-called metropolitan press in connection with the event of Mr. Cleveland's marriage, and whatever may be thought of the enterprise of those newspuapers which have put forth the greatest efforts in this line—some of them with a disgusting disregard of the decencies and proprie- ties—it is certain that American journal- ism has not gained in character or in the respect of people who have regad for the proprieties, by their course. —— OmafA wants and must have better facilities for travel to and from the stock yards and packing houses of South Omaha. The only way to get there cheaply at present is by the Union Pa- cific trains. This means going out at 11 and being penned up until 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Those who want to go later than 11 a. m. must hire a hack or car- riage or go_ on foot. If they desire to leave the yards before the trains come in from the west they have the same exper- ience. When we had no bridge across the Mussouri people iraveled = by stage to Council Blufts, at least two or three times, a day. There was not half as much travel between these points as there now is between Omaha and the stoch fyards. The nromise that the Belt Line will soon run hourly trains to the stock yards is very consoling for people who can wait & year or two. But meantime it becomes a business problem how to get to South Omaha without i0s- ing half a day. — Rio1ing in Ulster is ' exeused in Lon- don on the ground that it is the method by which an anxious pdople are protesting againt threatened political wrongs, Rioting in Cork was denonnced as an outbreak of bloody assassing protesting against a beneficent British rule which has depopulated the country, de- stroyed industries and driven a large portion of the inhabitants to death by starvation. It makesa great difference in the eyes of the tory landlords whether “outrages’’ occur in Ulster or Connaught. Itis not always safe to play poker with the mayor. This is the conclusion of a number of prominent poke! of Vermillion, Ohio.

With the advent of June—the month of roses-~there comes upon nearly all the tired denizens of cities a longing to leave behind them, for the time being, tho crowded streets, with their busy hum, and spend their days in shady spots where they ean hear “the moan of doves in immemorial elms and murmer of in- numerable bees!” Many there are, un- fortunately, who on account of their Iimited means or the arduous character of their work eannot afford much more rest or recreation than that which is furnished by a family picnic in the park or by a day’s run into the country or to the seashore. But there are thousands, on the other hand, who are able to take a tion of a week or more, the chief difliculty that besets them being to decide where they shall t is said of ml"’.nuhsh nobleman who had for years spent his summers on the continent” of Europe that he was at last surprised to find within a fow miles of his own home a little spot which he had never before seen, but which in natural beauty was superior toany of the vaunted nooks of France or Italy. ~ And if many tourists who cross the Atlantic could only be persuaded to spend one of their sum mer vacations at home it is probable that they would have a_ similar experience.

Quaint old hamlets and vil- Iages, the inhabitants of which still retain many of the manners and customs which their forefathers brought with them across the sea two hundred years ago; mountain homes, where lungs choked with the hot air and dust of the city ean drink in the hfe-giving odor of the pines, and fertile valleys rich in fruitful orch- ards and in waving corn-fields—all these invite us. Then, too, within easy dis- tance are long stretches of yellow sand washed by the less sea in whose waters we can bathe, and from whose shores we can look out on nothing but ocean and sky and dream our aays away, like the lotos eaters, in peace and in for- getfulness of all that so often chafes the spirit and makes life burdensome. A few weeks spent in this way will do much toward helping us to withstand the pres- sure that in these days bears so heavily upon all; to give the tired frame and ex- hausted brain_ rest, and to teach us that after all, man’s ‘‘first, best country ever is at home.” ——e HE WANTED A PASS. The Sad Story of a Decayed Gentle- man, Philadelphia News: Captain Lea- bourne refused to admit him to the pres- ence of Mayor Smuth. He was one of the shabby genteels, very shabby, indeed,but though his hat was battered and fluffy, though his not too clean shirt peeped at the world through his coat sleeves at the elbows, and though s pantaloons did not reach the tops of his buttonless, cracked patent-leather pumps, his mien was none the less Ioflfi'; misfortune,what- ever effect it had on him externally, had not affected him as a man. The busy little captain knew he a beggar, and |'r.h-,n'l-li‘ him to Detective Allmendinger, whom he found down stairs. He made a profound bow, brushing back his hair, cleared his throat and said: “I am very sorry, indeed, for this in- trusion. Accept my humble apology; but the menial by the portal up-stairs positively declined to convey my card to the Mayor, and I was referred to you.” He handed the detective the four of diamonds, on which was written with a burnt mateh the name*‘J. Q. Duquesne.’” “1 am very much pleased to meet you, Mr. Dewkane,” said the officer, ‘‘an trust 1 may be able to serve you." “Thanks. Ithink you can serve me. To-day the first gentleman in the eternal repubfic surrenders his personal freedom by entering the state of wedlock. The nation felicitates him, but the heavens weep, and—so—do—I, for 1 have an angel spouse who better on before. But I am one of Steve's earliest friends,” ““What Steve?'’ *Excuse the lapsus lingum, He is now the president of the United States, and though we used to play shinny toge such famliarity is unpardonable,” “*But what 1 do for you?" “Let me explain, Before my eyes I now see n chubby boy, whose rosy cheek is dimpled, whose ‘eyes sparkle brightly. Oh, happy, innocent boyhood! T see another, a priggish lad, It was myself. I have a dog, of which I am proud. But the chuht)' lad is mischievous, and ties a tin can to the canine’s tail, and the in- telligent brute instead of running off as a vulgar cur would do, quietly squats on his haunches and unties the knot with his teeth, But the priggish lad—myself —is angry. He strikes chubby boy and they tight. The priggish ld is conquored and yonder chubby boy, who crowed over a fallen advorsary, is” now president of the United States, and 1s to be married to-day. Itis meet that I, as one of his oldest acquaintances, should be present at the eeremony. I want you to procure me o pass to Washington, where 1 can arrivein time to wish him joy. I am the priggish lad." “Can’t do it,” sald the detectivy Mr. Duguesne walked away, saying he would *'strike’ some of the railroad of- ficials or steal a ride on a buffer. t hic find, each returning desire to know mor , and Officer Horrigan yestorday picked up Ja McNay, & dranken man who was oceupy- ing # comfortable position across the Union Pacific tracks.
