Iris said that George Francis Train will start a vaper in Chicago devoted to the progressive labor movement. He will no doubt be able to project some picturesgueness into the labor campaign if nothing more substantial, A WOMAN in St. Louis became so ex- cited by the presidential party that she threw a pancake into Mrs. Cleveland’s lap. She has been arrested and is now booked for fame. In the excitement of the moment she no doubt imagined her- self serving a regular boarder, Tne Chicago papers fairly turned themselves inside out in their efforts at display in welcoming President and Mrs. Cleveland. 'The News printed greetings of welcome to the august visitors in every civilized language of the globe. They were written in native characters and followed by translations. This bit of enterprize 15 quite unique. Mg, CLEVELAND is urely informed by the Chicago press, referring to his speech in St. Louis, that there might havo been a rivalry as to size and pro- gressiveness between the two cities in the dim past, but that time is so far back that the story of it scoms like a mere legend to the present generation, Chi- cago should not be too boastful. The time is coming when she too will be passed in the race for supremacy by the cities of the great west. It secms quite likely now that rail- road fares for passenger travel will be reduced in the west. The railroads them: selves ndmit that the rates fixed by tho inter-state commission as ‘‘reasonable and fair," are too high. The roads are finding that they restrict travel and con- sequently cut down the profits. Public sentiment also clamors for a maximum two-cents-per-mile rate to which it will inall probability be reduced during the coming winter, ‘THE Nutional Farmers’ alliance metin Minneapolis this week and has already adjourncd, Nebraska was honaged 1in having J. Barrows clected president, and Towa in securing the meeting for Des Moines next year. Otherwise very little of importance seems to have been done. Considering the magnitude and impor- tance of western agriculture, these meets ings of the farmers shourd bo attended with more decided results than now sooms to be tho®ase. There are many economic matters, outside the actual rais- ing of crops, which effeet the agricultur- alists and with which, by concerted and intelligent co-operation, they would be capable of dealing. —e Wit proper and adequate effort there is no good reason why Omaha may not secure the national republican conven- tion next year. There can be no sub- stantial objections urged against this city, and much can be said in its favor. The state, convention having passed a resolution favoring Owmaha as the place for bolding the conven- tion will give weight to the proposition. That expression should be promptly supplemented by such action on the part of our chamber of commerce, city council and republican organization: as will command the attention of the national committee. The matter is one which can properly and judiciously be given early consideration. The Ticket and the Platform. The republican party . of Nebraska should be well satistied with the work of its state convention. There were care- fully planned and urgently pressed schemes the success of which would have placed the party in a false, and perhaps perilous, position, but although it re- quired a long and arduous struggle, such a8 happens very rarely in a convention like that of Wednasday, to overcomo them, wiser counsels prevaiied and they were defeated. We have very little doubt that upon the sober second thought most of those who supported these pro- jects will see the mistake that would have been made in their adoption and will with all the more heartiness aud zeal devote themselyes to the duty of securing the popular endorsement of the convention’s action. The ticket will ,receive the full support of the party. Therenomination of Judge Maxwell wasin response to the undoubted wish of a large majority of the rank and file of the party, and was a just recogni- tion of long, honorable and useful ser- vice. It 18 not necessary to enlarge upon his claims, so thoroughly are they known and appreciated by the older citi- zens of Nebraska. For more than thirty years he has been under the public scrutiny in positions of trust and grave responsibility, and his record is without a biemish, His judicial career has pre- eminently exemplified the highest stand- ards of merit in that capacity, fur- nishing an example of integrity, impartiality and industry which will exert its influence upon the judiciary of the state long after the learned and dis- tinguished jurist shall have retired from the arena of this world's labors. The character, experience and acquirements of Judge Maxwell all commend him to popular support, and he will be re-elect- ed by an undiminished majority. The candidates for regents of the university, Dr. B. B. Davis, of McCook, and Dr. George Roberts, of Knox county, are genuemen fully qualified for the position. I'he former is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Nebraska, and the latter of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. Both are scholarly. men, who have always taken an earnest inter- est in educational affairs, and they will undoubtedly be valuable accessories to the board of regents. The platform takes a position regard- g the railways which every citizen con- cerned for the welfare of the state will approve. On the subject of the tariff 1t shows an advance in declaring that the business of the country demands a revi- sion and that the republican party will sce that such revision shall be made at the earliest practicable day. The just demands ot the soldiers to generous treatment from the government are rec- ognized, Ireland’s hopes are encouraged, and the omissions and faults of the de- mocracy receive adequate attention. The proposition for an extra ses- sion of the legslature, which was the source of a prolonged and very heated discussion, failed chiofly for the reason that there was a majority who had no faith in the present legislators and believed that if called to- gether they would accomplish nothing. ‘The prohibition firebrand was tempora- rily smothered and will not be a cause of disturbance in the present campaign. Having an entirely acceptable ticket and a platform which all Nebraska re- publicans can approve, there does not appear to be any reason why the party should not move forward to an over- Whe lming victor; A Puangent Arraignment. There has been nothing in recent polit- ical literature better deserving of atten- tion from those interested in such litera- ture than the address just issued by the independent democrats of Maryland. It is in more respects than one, namely, that of being a most scathing arraign- ment of the democratic machine in that state, a quite remarkable document, It is admirable in its style, in its perspocu- ous setting forth of the charges against the regular democracy, and in its vigor- ous directness and fearless characteriza- tions, It mercilessly lays bare the policy and record of the democratic party in Maryland under the leadersnip of Gorman and his asso- ciates, and amost deplorable presentation of political depravity it is, It ever there was justifiable ground of revolt within a party the independent democrats of Maryland show most convincingly that they have it. Good citizens everywhere must feel some interest in a struggle of this kind carried on in the interest of fair politics and honest government, evon if those to be immediately benefitted are the citi- zens of only a single state. The rascality that has been carried on in Maryland, if permitted to go unrebuked, might easily become contagious and spread to other states. Gormans may be developed any- where if there1s promise of the toleration that will permit them to carry on their nefarious practices. Such examples as thatof the independent democrats of Maryland are therefore of more than local significance. Just as the pumshment of boodlers in New York and Chicago has had the effect of restraining others elsewhere from similar practices, so this revolt, even if it shall not result in the defeat of the corrupt machine, will be a warning which politicians of the Gorman stripe evervwhere willnot wholly fail to heed. What reaily wakes this matter one of national importance, however, is the position of the administration, which thus far appears to be in sympathy with the men against whom the revolt 1s made. The ability of Gorman to carry out his plans and maintain his power has been in no small degree due to the aid he has received from federal oflicials, ex- tended in bold and defiant violation of the president's civil service order, This the administration has been made fully aware of, but it has not even indicated its disapproval of the conduct of these men, some of whom are doubtless now industriously practic- ing ‘‘pernicious activity.” The course which the president should pursue to be consistent would promptly destroy half the power of the debased and corrupt machine in Maryland, but he has thus far been deaf to the numerous appeuls that have been made to him to take that course. te probably will not take it, and will therefore justly be held to have indirectly aided the corrupt and reckless element that has brought the democratic politics of Maryland into national disre- pute. INVESTIGATIONS just made by a com- mittee of the Massachusetts legislature Into the condition of child labor in that R art THE OMAHA state have developed some very deplor ble facts. At Fall River, especially, tha evils resulting from the nearly unre- stricted employment of this labor were particularly conspicuous. Great num- bers of children were found in the mills who could not rend and write, and the proportion of illiterate children in Fall River was greater than in any other city, though it was much too large in some others. One witness stated to the com- mittee that he knew many children were employad in the mills on certificates ob- tained through falsa statements made by their parents. The eagerncss of parents to make their children wage - earners, and the anciety of employers to get cheap labor, unite to defeat the law and to de- prive the little ones of obtaining any ed- ucation. This experience isnot new, nor isit confined to Massachusetts. Other New England states could show a simi- lar, if not quite so bad, a state of things, and the efforts that have been made to remedy it do not appoear to have effected any improvement. On the contrary the evidence from Massachusetts is that the evil is growing, And yet it must not be confessed that a remedy is impossible. Some practicable and adequate way ought to be found to prevent an annual increase of illiteracy in a section of the country where all the means of education are most abundant and where the laws can be readily enforced. Some dther interesting facts were brought out by this investigation, among them that the number of women and children em: ployed in textile industries is steadily in- creasing, and that men without children were being constantly thrown out of em- ployment to give place to those having them, that the labor of their children might be secured. The eagerness of these well protected manufacturers to get cheap labor is very suggestive. THE prospect that Mills, ot Texas, will be made chairman of the committee on ways and means of the next house of rep- resentatives is not universally regarded as the wisest thing that could happen for the democracy. If no injustice is done Mr. Mills, he would be very likely to be- come a source of serious trouble us the ostensible leader of the democratic forces on the floor of the house. An eastern contemporary, which speaks with a defi- niteness that conveys an assurance of ac- curate information, describes the Texas congressman as “‘a mau of cruel temper, of unreasoning obstinacy, with no power of control,’”” whose selection would put a practical end to any real hope of legisla- tion. Surely a man with such quali- ties cannot safely be trusted with the functions of leadcrship, par- ticularly in an exigency that will call for great moderation, wisdom and discre- tion. But Mr. Mills is in the line of pro- motion, and (f he issuch amanas heisde- scribed will be very likely to vigorously insist upon a recognition of ms rights, There is a chance that Mr. Carlisle, as- suming that he will be re-elected speaker, may find in this matter a somewhat disa- greeable dilemma, and that which ever way it is solved the democratic majority in congress will have a cause of regret. It 18 unfortunate that the harmony of the state republican convention was dis- turbed by the introduction of a proposi- tion to submit to the people at this time a prohibitory liquor amendment to the constitution, but the republican party of Nebraska is to be congratulated upon the fact that the movement was not successful. In throwing this question over to next year time will be given for its more thorough and thoughtful discussion, from which 1t may reasonably be hoped to effect such a change of opinion as will insure 1ts be- ing excluded entirely asa political issue. It would obviously have been a most serioug and dangerous blunder to have intrudid this issue in the present cam- paign. THE object of registration is to secure a fair ballot and an honest election. It is the duty of every good citizen to sustain this object. No man who sincerely desires the purity of clections, impossible of at- taiment without this provision, will ne- glect the duty. Every voter in order to exercise his right of sufftage in Novem- ber must be newly registerca. It is to be hoped that none will fail to comply with this requirement. ‘THE vote giyen General Diliworth on the first ballot 1n the state convention was highly complimentary to that gen- tleman. ‘[t attested a wide respect for his ability and a personal popularity of which he may well be proud. It should suggest to him that the honor he aspires to is not impossible of attainment when- ever he shall clear himself of the objec- tions that are at present obstacles to suc- cess. — TaE apparont apathy among the demo- crats of Douglas county must not be per« mitted to lure republicans into a sense of sacurity that will lessen their zeal and activity. There is need of persistent vig- ilance and earnest work maintained until the polls close on the day of election. CoLONEL JouN L. SULLIVAN is prepar- ing to invade England.
