It slammed the door with a great bang against our sug- gestion of an early convention and fixed the date for the 20th of Septemby In this instance the unexpected did not hap- pen. On second thought we rather think that the eleventh hour eonvention wili give the farmers a good chance to head off the political bums and honora- able bilks who have coutravted to deliver the party and state into the hauds of the monopoly bosses. Lincoln was selectod the place hold- for fug the convention, The surroundings of Omaha are said to be very unfavor- mble to the oporations of the anti-Van ns ¢ Wyckmachine, Is is doubtful, however, whether 508 delegates can be hanaled and hoodwinked at Lincoln or any other pe.

They did not Meel quite confident about the unpopu- ‘nflu of van Wyck smong the rank and government against the greed of cc ations which have fed fat on the cent favors extended by the nation, grow id exacting in the deg that the government has been generous and forbearing. A chief reason for this state of things, orpor munifi ing consoiencele inthe v of our contemporary, is the unfortnnate circumstance that southern senators and representatives feel they are, in a pecu- nse, on their good be- 4 s one of them recently stated they teel bound to vote for all pension bills lest the accusation be made them that they are hostile to the dis- abled soldiers of the union, while \\1 I ry spe to the other class of ¢ noted they are deterred from voting y the fe will be with a rea ¥ purpose to undo what the republican party did for developing the resources and bulding up the ma- terial interests of the count It is not unlikely that there is some- thing inthis. Certainly so far as the pen sion measures are concerned it can be readily granted that the representatives of the south are in a delicate position It isu matter about which any meddling or interference on their part is very sure to be regarded with severo disfavor, and assume however unjust it may be to that they can be actuated only b, ing of hostility in respect of anything re- lating to the union soldiers, it must 1l be admitted that it is natural. But with regard to the other class of legislation the circumstances are widely difforent, and southern representatiyes cannot so easily justify themselves in refusing to support measures intended to protect the government from wrong and loss, and the people from extortion and abuse, | compelling the great railroad corpora- tions which owe their existence to the munificence and magnamity of the ns tion to fultiil the terms of their contracts with the government. What the republi- can party did fifteen or twenty ye A0 in behalf of these corporations was done in good faith, and was approved by the country, but the corporations have abused the trust and violated the com- pact: In demanding the penalties, there fore, of broken agrecements, there is nothing undone excent the greed and jobbery of the soulless managers of these corporations, a consummation which the great body of the people-will most h ily welcome. No member of congress who takes the trouble to acquaint himself with the popular sentiment of the country on this subjeet, as he will find it voiced 1n the press, nced have any doubt respecting his duty as a representative of the peovle, nor any fear as to the consequences of his course if he sustains the just demands of the govern- ment upon these corporations. We quite agree with our contemporary that the one thing neceded, next to integ- rity, is courage in members of congress, and the great trouble is that most of them have neither whea the interests of the people and those of corporate wealth and power are arrayed against each other. The hope that this will not al- ways beso isone to be cherished, but when graye and reverend senators bra- zenly defy public opinion and with most specious reasonmng refuse to forego the sule of their services to railroad corpora tions whose affairs may be subjected to their judgment and action as legislators, only the most exaggerated form of op- timism could discover in the situation or the outlook much that is reassuring. Changed His Mind. President Cleveland will be a candidate for a second term. His intimate friends admil the gentle impeachment, and his party associates at the capital treat the statement as a matter of course. It is true that bachelor Cleveland intimated that one term would fully satisfy his presidential aspirations, but since that time wedding bells have played at the white house, and a president’s bride has taken her place in the executive house- hold. Those who ought to know claim that his marriage has wrought a change inthe views of the chief executive upon the tenure of office question, and that Mrs, Cleveland’s natural wish to spend a few more years at Washington has influenced the president to make no more disclaim- ers of the kind mentioned. ‘I'nere is no doubt that Mr, Cleveland’s marriage has strengthened him politi- cally, Washington is tuled with the praises which the beauty, grace and sim- plicity of the white house bride bhave called forth, Mrs, Cleveland has won kindly feclings towards the president from many a disgruntled party associate and cailed out from the correspondents of the press a chorus of praises which hs assisted materially in heightning the popularity of her husband, Women often active elements in furthering polit interests. Mrs, Logan's work for her husband made him senator. Lady Churehill and Lady Harcourt in England, both of whom aré Amws brought their lords and masters into posi- tions of public prominence, and aided them in maintaining them. Muys, Cleve- land may prove the president's mascotte in securing 8 nomination, aud, perhaps, a re-election at the hands of his party. We shall see. Another Blunder. THE railway mail service of the coun- try has grown into great magnitude and importance, and if not the most valuable and indispensable part of the postal ser- vice, is certainly not of less consequence than any other. No other country has so thorough, efficient and excellent a ser- vice. It requires for the proper perform- ance of the onerous and ditlicult work men of more than ordinary intelligence, who must also be trustworthy and diligent. It demands rigid diseipline. No branch of the public service ought to be kept freer from political influence und partisan con- siderations, When he entered upon his duties as postmaster general, Mr. Vilas seemed to have been duly impressed by these conditions, and very early gave oflicial assurance that faithful and etli- ent employes in the railway mail ser- vice would be secure in their positions as long as they attended to their duties, It is now charged by the postal elerks that Mr. Vilas has notadhered to his promise, and they cite circumstances in proof of their charges. The recent remoyal of a numwber of clerks on the ground of insubordination, the dis s of the Broth missed men being membe erhood of Railway Postal Clerks, an in- surance association, we believe, has aroused the members in hostility to the postmaster general, and an interesting conflict is promised. Lhe tendency must 150 be to work more or less demoraliza: tion in the service, from which the public must sufler. We do not venture to judgment upon the merits of the but the past conrse of the postmaster gen- pass eral, together with a feeling of confi dence in the common sense and discre- tion of the postal eler warrants doubt as to whether Mr, Vilas has made another blunder for which the alty must be paid by the public. pen- Tue packing-house ory has served notice upon the democr of the first district that there is one democrat whom it will not support again for congress Why “again” when it didn’t support Brown two years ago. The threat of a bolt by the p. h. champion alarms no democrat in these parts as far as we can learn. Brown carried Douglas county by 3,137 majority two years ago in spite of the five in the rear. THE bill introduc an 1 in tne senate on Wednesday, by Mr, Edmunds, providing that the president shall have the sole rof appointing a large number of Is of specitied classes without the cand consent of the senate, is in vith the growing democratic iden hostile to the contirmatery power of the senate. Itgoes only part way toward the abandonment of that power, but as a stepin that direction it wili douhtless be heartily welcomed by democrats, THE honors that have been uvon Oliver Wendell Holmes in gland i to and brighter and happier the de that has contributed 80 largely to sweetening and making more joyous the lives of others. Some days ago Cambridge honored Dr. Holmes th the title of LL.

Some fifteen ye Herala demanded the hy Seward because he ea Marshal ause he has appointed Cummings make a horse rs ago the ad of Marshal rried a cane. There tbout as much sense about the one suggestion as there is in the other. Every marshal of Omaha except perhaps the last one, who W assigned quarters in Stout’s stone breaking hotel, has had a deputy. Mar shal Butler had Llewyllyn for his deputy, and Mr. McClure was deputy for Wester- dahl. Appointing a deputy is an awful offense which should be punished by a stroke of the official guillotinc "iE Ohio republican representatives in congress are not willing to allow the case against Senator Payne to be dropped, and are making an effort to have the action of the privileges and elections committee of the senate, declining to in- vestigate the matter, reconsidered. In this they are sustained by Senator Sher- man, who is outspoken in his belief that there is good ground for investigation. There is reason to suspect that the course of the three republican members of the senate committee who voted against an investigation was not prompted by motives altogether unquestionable. It is an interesting fact, if true, that General Logan expressed a desire not to have the vote in committee made public is ANoTHER bird of song has been en- trapped,ard one for whom the thousands of Americans who haye heard her will always entertain a warm feeling of es- teem and admiration. Christine Nilsson is to become the w of Count Casa- Mirande, a hitherto successful Spanish politician, and will probably thereafter retire from the operatic stage. The world of song could lose from 1ts constellation no brighter or worthicr star, and Amer- icans,while wishing this excellent woman all happiness in her marital relations, will regret that théy may compel her to forego the purpose she had formed of making a farewell tour of the United States, for which and for whose people she entertained the heartiest esteem.

The victory of the Puritan was decisive, she haying beaten the Priscilla five minutes. A good wind enabled her to again demon- strate her splondid sailing qualities and vindieate the superiority of her model, and her supporters will not have hard work to show that her defeats were due wholly to unfavorable conditions of wind and weather, and not to defects of con struction. T'he Mayflower, built to com- bine the best points of other erack yachts, has thus far proved a disappointment. The Evoglish yacht Galatea, which is to contest for the cup, sailed for American waters some days ago, having on board her owner, Lieutenant Henn, and his wife, who is one of the most experienced aud devoted yachtswomen in the world. not | U FRIDAY UL “eq latea has not been successful this on in the English races, has shown no remarkable qualities, ahd is pronounced by the London papers inferior to several other British yacnts.

A NEw Yorg contemporary has dis- covered that Queen Victoria committed two glaring grammatical inaceuracies in her speech proroguing parliament, which as everybody understands, was not written by herself, but probabl as the custom is, by the prime ministor-~in this Mr. Gladstone. The nments of the premier, however, and the uniform excellence of the grammati cal construction of his writings, suggest that some other hand may have pre pared this address of the queen. Her majesty, it need hardly be said, would not be likely to detect any faults of grammar, varticularly it in any degree techn It may be observed that as a rule the fault of these royal speeches is not so much in their manner as their matter, About the dullest and least sug- gestive of all public documents that pre- tend to review the irs of a great nation are the official speeches of Eng- land's queen. case scholarly at Tue representations of the American ministry at Madrid that the treaty rights an e and Porto R guaranteed to Ameri ing with Cu rdinjurious mination is practiced, hav las after long and diligent negotiations, re- ccived attention from the Spanish ernment.
