The purses of the wealthy tory lords and squires have been thrown wide open to carry the ction for Salishbury and coercion. Titled nobodies, whose only claim on their party is their enormous wealth, are being placed in nomination by the enemies of home rule, while in some of the distriets it is said to be difli- cult to get Gladstonian candidates be cause of the money power in the opposite camp. The trouble with tho home rulers 15 said to be lack of moncy. How much is thought to be needed to carry on the campaign may be judged from the fact that a half a million dol- lars, subséribed by four libe: st woek for the use of Mr. Gladstone ndidates, is spoken of as a small sum compar with the fund which the tories have g ered as sinews of war. British members of parlinment receive no pay for their services This fact ex. elud 1l but men of means from stand- ing candidutes. All the elee- tion under the Eng- lish laws, must be borne by the contestants, including the cost of registration, pay of election cler| printing of tickets and canva: x of the votes. Itis a cheap election in England where the successful member of parlia- ment gains his seat at a less cost than £5,000, even where the contest is a tame one.

The issue as made is money against merit, and the honest voters of Great Britain now largely leavened with dem- ocracy are not likely to hesitate in the as expenses, choice. The great forces of socicty may tell against home rule at the elections, but an indignant public opinion rising from the humble classes of English workingmen and me- chanics who owe their political enfran- chisement to William E. Gladstone can turn the scale by an avalanche of votes whi will more than outweigh the tory money bags and the millionaire and titled nobodies which they represent. The Late David Davis. The political prominence attained and ofly enjoyed by the late David Dayis, whose death after a lingering illn oce- curred Saturday morning, was due largely to a combmation of fortuitous circum- stances with the creation of which he had nothing to do, and which he lacked the political faculty to take the fullest ad- vantage of. Though unquestionably pos- sessed of the highest ambition that can animate the American citizen, he was conspicuously deficient in those com- manding qualties of leadership which attract a great following and hold men in hearty and firm allegiance. Without casting o doubt upon the general honesty of his motives and his acts, his course was nevertheless, so far as its pohitical relations were concerned, of 5o tortuous a character, and his tendencies were so uncertain, that no party could have with safety committed its policy and interests to his dircction. Few men in so brief a public caroer were found so often sup- porting aifferent sides of questions of po- litical controversy, and while this ap- parent independence gave him a elaim to public attention and won for him alternately the commendation of one or the other of the parties, it did not give him tne absolute confidence of any, and therefore wholly disqualified him for the functions of a leader, In consequence of these political pecu- 1 es Mr. Davis became merely an in- strument which the parties sought to play upon as their necessities seemed to r quire. Indeed, he entored national poli- tics in this character. It is only nee sary to recur Lo the facts connected with the organization of the electoral com mission to recall to memory the profound interest and anxiety with which both par- tles regarded the possibility of Judge Davis, then an associate justice of the supreme court, being a member of the commission, and from the point of view of the democrats it was an act of ma terly shrewdness on the part of the re- publicans in transforring him at the vital senate. In the light of his subsequent course it 1s quite impossi- ble to determine what would have been the action of Judge Davis as a member at wil surprised to hear in a d that Jin Laird's daily and the Grand il railvond T¥mes refuse to receive ¥ Wore subseriptions until their double ) Hae web perfecting presses have A6t up sod put in motion, of the electoral commission, but it is s matter of history that hus retirement from the supreme bench at that time was looked upon by leading democrats generally as fatal to their case. It would be an injustice to bis republican can- | memory to assume that had he been a member of that historic body s action would have been controlled by any other than the sincerest econvictions and the purest motives, and the belief in either party which implied anything different was without warrant or justification. Judge Davis was unquestionably fond of popular commendation and public notoriety, and was at all times ready to accept honors from almost any source, His presidential aspirations were uncon- cealed, and it is not doubtful that therr recognition under any circumstances and by combination of men calling themselves a purty was ploasing to him This fact caused perhaps un- any distrus! justly, though quite naturally, of the sin cerity of his independent course re speoting political issues, and gradu ally but surely weakened his influence in public affairs. There is perhaps no better example in our history than that presented by the earcer of Judge Davis of the impossibility of a man becoming a great leader in American politics who refuses allegiance to any party and dis- vor to all. be said, we think with entive justice, that history will have little to ve in honor of Judge Davis beyond his judicial e in which he fully jus- titied the wisdom of Lincoln in appoint- ing him to the supreme bench, An Early Convention. The republican state central commit- tee 15 about to convene in this city to map out the campaign’ for 1886, It is marifestly its duty to place the party in position for a bold, ssive and decis- ivo campaign. There is no good reason why the varty in Nebraska, with its 25,000 majority, should not assume the oflen: lowa ive as carly as the party does in , Kansas and other western vepub- lican state: With her 800,000 popu- lation increased enormously every year by the swelling tide of immigration a thorough nvass should begin at least ninety days before the clection. In other words convention ¥y to g time for a state canvass. In former years the committee has al- lowed only from four to six weeks be- is neces: tween nominations and the eloction. Such a policy has often em el the party and frequently jeopardized the success of the ticket. It is almost a fore- gone conclusion that the ticket will be made up this year of men who ean stand the brunt of any poli ical assault. Ouly eh men are fit to be the canc es of the party in the impending campaign. Republicans from every section of the state demand an early convention and a thorough campaign. They want the candidates to canvass the state and give the people achance to become acquainted with and to canvass them. The commit- tee will do well to respect this sentiment and respect our suggestion, Let us have an early convention; at any rate no later than the middle of August It is alittle surprising that any one pr tending to a moderate amount of intell gent diserimination should class Secr fary Whitney as a politician, applying t that term in its b sense. Two years ago Mr. Whitney was wholly unknown to the country, and his local reputation was only that of a second lawyer. He had never been admitted to the inside circles of the New York democracy, and until the last presidential election was not an active force nor an estimated f; tor in the party. But having money and being the son-in-law of Henr: B. Payne, he possessed a value which New York democratic managers were shrewd enough two years ago to utiiiz yet it is not recorded that his usefulness went farther than his liberal contribu- tions of money to the campuign. It is not questionable that his appointment to a cabinet position was due almost wholly to the Payneinfluence, his brother-m-law, Colonel Oliver H. Payne, having very shortly after the presidential election re- signed his lucrative position as treasurer of the Standard oil company and re- moved to New York for the well-under- stogd purpose of sccuring an appoint- ment for Whitney either in the cabinet or at a foreign counr His selection as sce- retary of the y was a surprise to the country, and the doubt then generally felt as to the wisdom of the president’s choice has not been greatly diminished by the course of Mr. Whitney as the head of the navy department. Person- ally the secretary is a very respectable citizen, but his record is yet to be made as aman of political acumen and fore- sight, while his aristocratic habits and tendencies do not merease lus value as an active politician. In this respect his brother-in-law is much the abler man, and it Whitney ever hereafter figures as a politician, depend npon it that the wires will be laid and their manipulation directed by Colonel Payne, who has fully identified himself with the democracy of New York, SENATOR MORRILL, of Vermont, is a faithful and conscientious public servant, Until his recent illness he had not in his more than thirty yea ice in con- gress been absent from his post of duty for more than two days, and it was a source of excessive annoyance to him when his sickness compelled him to add a third day to his record of absences. Indeed he is said to care less about the pains and privations incident to his sic ness than for the necessity it impos upon him of keeping away from his senatorial duties. Such examples of solicitude and fidelity on the part of pub- lie servants, and p. rticularly of mem- bers of congress, are so exceptional as to be noteworthy, but it may be observed that Mr. Morrill is one of the few remain- ing products of the “‘old school” by which these qualities were taught and properly honored, — THE commissione; re still holding back for a plan to construct a retaining wall around the court house.

Our Western Bpne Yards.

President Cleveland has made many mistakes as a chief exccutive, but he made no mistake when he notitied con- gress that he should decline in future to sign any bill without informing himsclt thoroughly of its contents, He given his word that congress need not expect him to go to the capitol in the closing days of the session and approve bills to expedite adjournment This stand of the president will mect with the approval of honest men ey where. It is afirm, manly and squ toed position in the intetest of the public and against that of the jobbers and lobbyists. It may delay adjournment but it will indefinitely postpone a score of fragrant items cd on appropriation bills in order to be rushed through at the last minute amid the din and confusion discovered, roamed ove Wyomin ta braska nd also of the closing hours of the session, In taking this attitude My, Cleveland is not following the fashion; but he issetting a valuable precedent for his successors, Heis doing more. His notice will have a prompt effect in putting a stop to ma- turing schemes to saddle questionable riders on the general appropriation bills. The assurance that bills must be passed in time to be sent to the White Hou examined. item by item by the president, and returned approved to con- gress, will force a careful pruning of these measures in committee of confer- ence before their passage. The president at one blow has demolished the last stronghold of the lobby. Let us give him credit for it. Tue eight-hour movement proved a most damaging experiment to the build- ing industry of Chicago, where it found a more general and active support from workingmen than was given itin any other city of the country. Two months ago a great deal of building that was pro- jected had to be abandoned in conse- quence of the demands of lahor, which placed the cost largely above the figures that the projectors were willing to pay. The effect was to seriously eripple the building industry and leave thousands of laborers and workmen in idleness. Now a re-action is taking place, The 7ribune of recent date states that “‘within the last few days some of the bidders have re- duced their estimates of cost by as much as 16 to 20 per cent, and offered to do the work for that much less than the original bids put in by them, They can do the work required for one-eighth to one-sixth less than was thought possible before the eight-hour demonstration of six wecks ago.” This simply means that men who two months ago demanded reduced hours of labor without a corresponding reduction in wages, are now willing to accept the minimum price for their la- bor, and this too after weeks of 1dleness during which many of them have piled up a burden of debt for the necessaries of life that will bear heavily upon them for many months to come, We some time since noted the fact that the money lendersof Chieago were feeding fat upon the necessities of the workingmen of that city who ' had been forced by the labor difticulties to mortgage their chattels in order to keep the wolf from the door, and it now seems not improbable that the pressing wants of these men may lead to a conflict of labor against capital in the battle for the means of subsis- tence, with the almost immediate conse- quence of cutting the wages of labor in many trades below a, faif living stand- ard. In any event there aye thousands of the workingmen of Clicago who 1n all respects are worse off than they were two months ago, and there has been no compensating gain to the ‘general cause of lubor, —— Tue highest paid oflicer of the city is the chairman of the board of public works.
