OMAHIA never presented a gayer ap- penrance than she does to-day, and the enthusiasm of its people will be in har- mony with the elaborate display of wel- coming emblems, Tue tulent of the motto-makers might have been a little more fertile, but “A public office is a public trust” is an ex- cellent axiom which, perhaps, cannot be too frequently repeated. UNQUESTIONABLY Mrs. Cleveland is quite as great an attraction as the pres- fdent—possibly a little more s0. And undoubtedly Mr. Cleveland is entively well pleased that such is the case. GOULD's sawing with the Balti- more & Ohio telegraph is said to have cost Wall street several hundred thou- gand dollars. It will cost tho patrons of the old anaconda several millions. Tie English syndicate evictors in Jowa are now trying to mitigate the public wrath thut hus bebn aroused sgainst them, by publishing their side of the story. It will probubly not have the désired effect. THERE is o great legal contest going on in New York just now over the ques- tion as to whether or not bees are a nuisance. The general impression is that a bee is only a nuisance when it gets into some one’s bonuet. THE high price of coal is causing the people of the east to uso coke much mmore extonsively than ever before. his is a protest against extortion ‘which the anthracite coal robbers will understand much more readily than any other. PAT FOrRD, Lowry and Van Camp have got themselves endorsed by the ward bummers. They will be delegates in the democratic county convention. But that doesn’t sigitify that their course in the council meets approval from the re- spectable and law-abiding part of the gommunity. THE cotton crop is being marketed eurlier than usual this year, and it is ex- pected to have a marked effect upon gold shipments to the United States this fall. During September more than 800,- 000 bales were sent to market, repre- senting a money value of $32,000,000 which the south will speedily realize. TThis is said to be by far the largest crop ever marketed so early in the year, and the expense of handling it has caused a drain from New York and other cities which has helped the stringency of money, but nearly 250,000 bales were phipped to Europe last month, which makes foreign exchange to the extent of $10,000,000. The exports of cotton will undoubtedly bo still larger for some time yet, so that it is difficult to see how Europe can avoid sending us much more gold. There is a good deal in this prom- dso to reassure the money market. SAN FRANCISCO is finding its source of greatest interest at present in the offorts making to bring the boodlers of that city to justice. KFew other cities in the country have been more afflicted by this class, and if the language of the press voices the popular sentiment the day of toleration has passed and the wrong-doers are to be given summary pnd sovere justice. They will be al- Jowed to depart if they wish to go, but 1t they elect to remain they must expect no mercy. The chief boodler, who: mlleged rascalities entitle him toa place fn the list with Tweed, Sharp and others equally infamous, is Christopher Buck- who seems to have been a most slill- ful and successful rascal, The sentiment of the San Francisco peopte is to be commended, and it is to be hoped they will persevere in their proper purpose until they rid themselves of every scoundrel who has preyed upon them, abused a public trust, or been engaged 4n any form of corruption. A clean sweep of boodlers everywhere is the ur- - &spnt demand of the time, a N Y R ‘Welcome to the President. To-day the president of the United States will for a short time bo the guest of Omaha. When he arrives here he will have reached the limit of his jour- ney westward, though he will have pen- etrated little beyond what is now recog- nized as the eastern boundary of the great west, Onward toward the set- ting sun stretches a vast territory, from the larger part of which states are yet to be carved out, and which will in time give homes to millions of people, with bustling cities, every variety of indus- try, productive farms, and all the pos- sessions and conditions of the highest forms of civilization, Here, indeed, is the gateway to this great region with all its rich stores of developed and undeveloped wealth, which within another generation is to contribute immeasurably to the prozper- ity of the nation. In this young, vigorous and growing metropolis Mr. Cleveland will find one of the best evidences that has been pre- gented in his journey of what American encrgy and enterprige can accomplish. We take it that he has not failed to in- form himself regarding the history of Omaha, the youngest city of its popula- tion, wealth and commercial impor- tance on the continent, but observation will do more than all the facts and fig- ures he could glean to convince him that here indeed is one of the phenome- nal developments of the last twenty years. Having a personal in- terest in " Omaha, Mr. Cleveland will not fail to duly consider what has been accomplished toward making this a great city in order that he may esti- mate the possibilities of the future. He will hardly find it possible to regard the outlook otherwise than most encourag- ing. . Omaha will give the president a most cordial and sincere welcome. This community yields to no other in its respect for the presidential office. Mr. Cleveland may find here less of that wildly demonstrative enthusiasm than he has encountered at some other points on his trip, but he will have no reason to doubt the heartiness of his re- coption or the earnestness of his wel- come. Every citizen, regardless of polit- ical affiliations, will join in paying honor to the chief executive of the republic. And the handsome, accomplished and amiable wife of the president will re- her full share of the popular in- te nd attention. She has filled her position with a modest dignity that re- flects honor on American womankind and has justly commonded her to uni- versal admiration. Omaha is decorated in the emblems of liberty and union, and extends to the president of the United tes its heartiest and sincerest welcome. The Nebraska Democrac, In the face of more than twenty-five thousand majority and without the faintest shadow of hope to carry the state, the Nebraska democracy have again gone through the farce of nomi- nsting o state ticket. The standard bearers have the proud satisfaction and assurance that their memory is to be embulimed for all time in the political almanacs for 1888. Itis not our pur- pose at this time to review their past career or discuss their fit- ness for the positions which nobody in or out of the convention ex- pects them to fill. Suflice 1t to say that some men are born groat while others have greatness thrust upon them. The platform of the Nebraska democ- racy abounds in the time-worn plati- tudes “‘that palter with us in a double sense; that keep the word of promise to our ear, and break it to our hope.” With the exception of its endorsement of the national democratic administra- tion, it is almost literally a stereotyped copy of the platforms for which Dr. Miller has held letters patent for more than fifteen ye Mr. Randall and the Tariff. Just before his departure from W ington for Atlanta, Mr. Randall was in- duced to something about the tariff, though it was very little. He would not discuss propositions that may come before congress next winter, and re- ferred to hig well-known views on reve- nue matters as a sufficient answer to allinquiries regarding his future course. He did venture so far, however, as to gay that he is in favor of revision, but opposed to the destruction of the tariff. He also reafiirmed his position respect- ing the internal revenue taxes, which he desires abolished because they are war taxes and are opposed the genius of the government. There is really nothing reassuring in this last conversation of Mr. Randall. It does not show that his views or intentions have un- dergone any change, or afford any ground for expecting that his attitude on this question in the next congress will be different from that he held in the last two congresses. His claim that he has been prepared for soveral years 10 assist in the revision of the tariff is worth very little in view of the char- aeter of the revision he desires. The plan of Mr. Randall, like that of all the protectionists, is not the plan which would give the necessary relief to the people. He has not and will not pro- pose a reduction of duties on those arti- cles which are neces s in every home and on every farm in the land, but on the contrary has and will con- tinue to oppose any such reduction. Just what he would be willing to yield, in order to accomplish the abandonment of the internal revenue taxes, eannot bhe stated with cortainty, but it can be very confidently said that it would not include iron, lumber, coal, salt, cotton and woolen goods, or any one of them. Yet a revi- sion which should entirely exclude them would give very little relief to the people. Mr. Randall says he is opposed to the destruction of the taviff. How many people does ho kuow of who are not? But it is obviously absird to maintain | that in order to save it from destruc- | Mon it is mnecessary to continue the present high and oppressive duties. Equally wanting in force is the argu- ment that the internal revenue tuxes must be abolished because they are war taxes and contrary to the genius of the h- it | government, Theee - taxes aio borne by the people without any senso of hardship. They do mot contribute to the andvantage of any special in- terests. They are paid directly into the public treasury, which derives all the benefit. Still those who demand a revision of the tariff in the direction of lower duties are willing to concedo the abandonment of & portion of the inter- nal revenwe taxes, but they are not wil- ling that they shall be all swept away, as the protectionists desire, so that the retention of the present tariff shall be- come a necessity. The indications are that Mr. Randall will be found in the same policy of which he has always been the cham- pion, and using all the power and skill of which he is possessed in obstructing a just and necessary policy of revenue reform. The Grain Movement. The situation in the grain market during the past week showed no im- provement as to prices over the previ- ous two or three weeks. Thé movement of grain toward the east is largely on the increase, however, and in some quarters; especially in the northwest, complaints are heard over the inability or indifferonce of the railroads in sup- plying cars as fast as they are needed. Competition between the large elevator companies and shippers of smaller lots has become very shasp in consequence. The farmers claim that the elevator com- binations get more than their share of the cars, while the latter argue that they ought to have, because of the much greater bulk of grain to be moved. Dakota wheat growers are discussing the feasibility of building and equipping a north and south rond along the Minnesota boundary to reach the wheat markets, to be operated for their own benefit exclusively. They hope by this means to avoid paying the large tributes to the railroad monopolies now exacted, and thereby secure greater profits from agricultural labors than they now ob- tain. More extended co-operation among the farmers of the country would no doubt result in bringing many of the nionopolies now preying upon them, It would perhaps be a good thing for the democracy and for the country if Cox of New York should be given the chairmanship of the ways and means committee of the next house of repre- sentatives, instead of Mills of Texas. Mr. Cox has not distinguished himself in connection with questions of finance and revenue, and would probably not have an inordinate ambition to do so. He would therefore doubtless be tracta- ble and willing to give fair attention to the views of other men wiser on the subject than he. Mr. Mills, on the con- trary, has very radical views which he thoroughly believes in,and he isthe sort of man to insist upon his opinions. There would be rather more likelihood of something being accomplished if Cox were at the head of the ways and means committee than if the Texus congressman were in that posi tion. It will not be an easy matter, however, to ignore the claims of Mills, and the chancesare largoly in his favor. It is current surmise that there will be some changes in the republican mem- bership of the committee in order that the new members who must be ap- pointed shall not be too greatly over- balanced by the experience and special ability of such men as Kelley, Reed and McKinley. 1If it is the intention of the administration, however, to direct the policy to be pursued so far as the reve- nue question is concerned, it may notbe of very great importance how the ways and means committoe is made up. THERE is very little probability that Mr. Conkling will reappear in politics, but the report that he is being vigor- ously urged to do so by prominent re- publicans of New York is by no means incredible. The unbounded esteem of the Senator for General Grant would be very likely to give him a strong in- terest in behalf of Colonel Grant, who is the republican candidate for secre- ary of state, and this is said to be the lever employed to bring the ex-senator back into the political arena. Were he to enter the campaign and Colonel Grant should win, it is easy to see that the credit of victory would go most largely to Mr. Conkling and he might at will resume his position as a commanding power in the repub- lican party. This would cer- tainly not be to the advan- tage of Mr. Blaine, but it would appear that the leading republicans of New York are not solicitous on this point. Nor should they be. The first duty with them is to win the battle this fall, which accomplished the task of the future will be a much less difficult one. Undoubtedly Mr. Conkling could con- tribute very greatly to this result, but it is hardly to be expected that he will abandon his repeatedly expressed de- termination never again to enter poli- tics. Dini collapses in the California and some of the Kansas booms are reported. These are accompanicd by the usual contradictions, but the indications are that many of the cities which grew fat on hooms during the summer will come out very lean before spring. It is much healthier to have a steady onward pro- gress, such as has characterized Omaha, then the mushroom growths which nearly always prove injurious in the end. Tue Black Hills people claim that that region hias got its second wind in the race of progress. The older mines are being more fully developed, new ones are discovered and things are booming generally. What they need now are more facilitics of communicas tion with the business centers of the EXPERIMENTS in rapid telegraphy wore successfully made on the Lehigh Valley railroad last week. Nearly three hundred messages were sent from the train while under swift motion without break or delay. The generalintroduc- tion of the telegraph system on moving trains is, however, a good ways off yet.

Blakeley, of Kansas City, well known as a chorus master, and particularly woll re- memborod because of his having managed & couple of choruses hero some time ago for ‘Theodore Thomas, was in town yesterday. He stated that immediately after Decoration Day next year, Gilmore’s band, consisting of sixty musicians and rits accom| ent of anvils and cannon, will leave New York to take part in the great celobration to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the settlement of Denver. On its way thither it will lpglur in all the largo cities, and Mr. Blakely is here to see whether Omaha is dosirous of baving the celebrated organization ivo & series of concerts here. ne of the conditions would be the organiza- tion of a chorus, which no doubt could be easily accomplished. Besides the band there will also bo & quartette of mixed volces of national reputation which would lead the vocal efforts. There is no doubt but that Mr. Blakely will learn that Omaha people will be found anxious for tho proposed concerts. Mr. Blakoly was shown around town by Franklin 8. Smith. Forest Lawn Cemetery. A meeting of the trustees of Forest Lawn Cemetery association was held last night at 1505 Farnam strect. The business of the evening consistéd in reviewing reports of the superintendent and officers, all of which showed the affairs of the association to be in a flourishing condition, and the cemetery in good repair. The association is constructing at the cemetery a new_ lodge for the gate- keepor and sexton. Section 8 has fien fl)pflfl.lonnd for the burial of members of the asonic !mwmityfiaml a portion of section 9 for the burial of tho United States officers and soldiers. The trustees adjourncd and the association convened and proceeded to eloct three trus- tees to fill vacancies occasioned by the expira- tion of the terms of H. Kountaz, {‘ B. Lowe wnd M. H. Bliss. These gentlemen were re- elected to succoed the trustees, which leaves the trustees as follows: J. O. Denise, chair- . Forsytho, clerk; 8. F. Joseyln, troas- Kounte, F. B. Lowe, A. P. Wood, 8. \Vooa, C. H. Brown and M. H. A lawn has been added to the ceme- tery consisting of 8% acres, which has been improved at & cost of 83,000, and tho associa- tion propose to make it as fine a park as there is in the west. The Chicago & Northwestern railroad is building a brauch to the grounds. —— A Fort Omaha Court Martial. A general court martial has boen appointed to meet at Fort Omaha, on Monday, October 17, for the trial of such persons as may be properly brought before it. Tho detail for the court is as follows: Lieutenant Colonel Flotcher, Second infantry; Captain Daggett, Second infantry; Captain Dempsey, Second infantry; Captain Catley, Second infantry; Captaln Ulio, Second infantry; First Lieu- tenant Clark, Second infantry; First Lieu- tenant Sarson, Second infantry’; First Liou- tenant Turner, Second infantry; First Licu- nant Pickering, Sepond infantry; Second cutenant Brumback, Second {nfantry; d Lieutenant Van Liew, Second infan- try; Second Licutenant Wilkins, Second in- faniry; Second Lieutenant Malloyry, Second infantry, judge advocate. They Think Well of Omaha. Patrick Galligan, brother of Chief Galli- gan of the fire department, returned from Denver yesterday morning. He was present at the reception given by the citizens of Den- wver to the old firemen of New York, and in every speech, Mr. Galligan sa the recep- tion at Omaha was m\:n'.lon‘t{&! President Anderson said that they had reccived great cordiality all along the line from the eastern cities, but he had to say without any choice of places and friends Omaha should ‘‘have the trumpet.” Captain James Boyle, in re- sponse to “Our Western Trip,” also gave Omaha g good send off. el A Sorrowful Wife. Mrs. Joseph Lebrick, of Twenty-fifth and Blondo streets, made application to the police commissioners yesterday to have her husband cared for., She alleges that her husband was arrested about two weeks ago and_seriously injured at the time by the police. Since that time Mrs. Lebrick claims her husband has been growing worse in health and she cannot support him. The case is taken under consid- eration. Why the Delay ? The city council ordered the gas company four weeks ago to place lamps on Mercer avenue between Kennedy streot and Lowe avenue, and up to date no lamps have been placed 'there. The water works company was also instructed to place several hydrants on Walnut Hill, but none have been so lo- cated. The residents in that vicinity are :ixuinusly inquiring as to the causeof the elay. ————— A Farewell Reception. The rector and vestry of St. Barnabas church tendered a farewell reception to Mr. George F. Labagh at the rectory last even- ing. 'The occasion was the eve of his depar- ture on & prolonged absence to California. Many friends and rolatives were present. Words of cheer and best wishes were many, and when the affair closed every one present bade him God-specd and renewed success. Gl DIED.

The music was furnished by Hoffman’s orchestra. Over thirty couples weré present. A Swede named B. O. Johnson, while under the influence of liquor last evcning, tried to rob Joe Whitery who was passing up Tenth street on his way fo the depot. The drunken bungler failed to Ffit any plunder, and falling into the hands of Officers Johnson and Ward was sent 10 the central police station. td 3 Ofcer Turbull escortéfl “Dug” Maguire to the Union Pacific depot yesterday, purchased him o ticket and saw him depart for Kansas City.

REGENTS, The Platform Presented By Judge ‘Woolworth Endorses Cleveland ‘With a Redundancy of High- Sounding Words. The State Convention. The democratic stato convention met last evening at tho board of trado hall witha large representation present. Owing to the limited space it was thought best to exclude the general public, and admission was gained only by ticket. At 8:30 o'clock James . Noxth rapped the convention to order with & reportorial cane, and when order was se- cured, said: Gentlemen of the Convention: The hour has comeo to call this convention to order and it gives me pleasure to call it to order. Dur- ing my political life, which_ has been a very active one for the last fiftcen or’ twenty years, I never met a democratic convention where there was such unsnimity of fecling as exi nmvnf the demo- crats of this delegation. In the meeting of the state committee to-day, the unanimity was such that it was dificult to get a man to make a motion lest it should be intorpreted as evidence of & Job. There was ono motion made, however, to appoint a temporary chair- man, ‘but that motion was withdrawn with the understanding that tho selection of that officer should be left to the convention when it was called to order. That unanimity, I think, exists in this body, and when the déle- gates leave the hall to-night theg will do so with the impression that the object of the party is to beat republicans and not to fight democrats. Marvin, of Gage, nominated Miles Zent- nnkver, of Colfax, for temporary chairman, and Mr. Zentmeyer was eScorted to the chair. Mr. North said they had present, in the gallery, a feature of the Pawnee Indlan band, Wwhich he knew the d&l:gnm ‘would be glld to hear beforo he int luced the temporary chairman. “Marchi The band played ing Along" and was applauded. The temporary chairman was introduced and thanked the convention for the honor. Lew May, of Dodge, was electod temporary socrotary, and R. P. Wahlquist, of Red ‘Willow, assistant temporary secretary. bias Castor, of Sallnutlwnnwd tho list of the delogates as prepared by the secretary of the ‘zt:‘nw committce read and the delegates soated, Mr. Woolworth, of Douglas, thought the idea ought not to prevail. It would be a bad precedent. The old established custom of & committee on credentials ought to be adhered to and such a committee appointed to_ canvas the credentials presented. Mr. North, of Platte, was of the same opin- ion and suggested that the committee consist of five delegates. Mr. Ross, of Keith, did not see the necess- ity of the proposed committee when there W88 1o contest among the delegates. A closo vote was taken and the chair de- cided in favor of the affirmative. A division ‘was called for. Mr. North said that an examination and correction of the secretary’s list would not require ten minutes, and when submitted, if 3|eorlmt. might be corrected by the conven- ion. Mr. Ashby, of Gage, thought it would be a bad precedent to dispense with the committee onlfr‘t;domiuls. Mr. North’s amendment pre- vailed, A delegate wanted to know if proxies would be allowed, and the chair said that would be decided by the convention. The following committee was appointed: Messrs. North of Platte, McDonough of Val- ley, Castor of Saline,, Ashby of Gage and Boyle of Buffalo. The couvention then indulged in calls for Green, Woolworth, May, McShane, Miller, O'Day and o host of others to entertain it with a speech. These colebrities, however, modestly remained under cover. Later i was announced that the committee would re- quire some time to finish its work, whereupon the chair induced Mr. Frank P. Ireland, of Otoe, to doff his coat and come forward to speak. The colonel for a few minutes entor- tained the convention in an eloquent speech, which was loudly applauded. Mr. Woolworth was then called and in a happy speech referred to the early history of the democratic party in Nebrasks from early territorial days to the present. He congrat- ulated the party on its progress and closed with a tribute to President Cleveland. The report of the committee on credentials was then read. There were no contests, but the counties of Chase, Cheyenne, Cherry, Gosper, Wheeler, Arthur,Grant, McPherson, Thomas and Sioux were not represented. On motion of Mr. Rustin, of Douglas, the report was adopted. On motion of Mr. Alley, of Saline, the wmgorury orgauization was made perma- nent. Mr. Walbach moved that the convention proceed to nominate a justice of the supremo court. The motion vailed. On motion of Tobias Castor a_ committee of five on resolutions was appointed. It consisted of Castor of Saline, Woolworth of Douglas, O'Day of Antelope, Allen of Adams, an Clegg of Richardson. Delogates with resolutions for the platform were permitted to hand them to the commit- tee without debate. A delegate from Blaine wanted something in the platform about the school laws which would help bachelors of that county. Somebody suggested the colo- nization of old maids. ‘The chairman of each delegation was au- thorized to announce the vote of the same. Mr. North nominated Thomas O'Day, of Antelope. Judge McKeighan, of Webster, nominated John M. Ragan, of Adams. ‘Mr. Canada, of Otoe, nominatetl George W. Doane, of Omiha. Mr. Hubbell, of Jefferson, nominated W. O. Hamble of the same place. Mr. Moriarity seconded the nomination of Mr. Doano on the condition that that gentle; man would accept the nomination. The informal ballot resulted as follows: A motfon to nominate Mr. O'Day by accla- mation was lost. It was announced by Mr. Moruarty, of Douglas, that Judge Doane would not accept & nomination and his name was withdgaw Pending the count of the second ballot the committes on resolutions, through Judge Woolworth, reported as follows: The democracy of Nebraska in convention ‘assembled, hereby reaffirms allegiance to the principles of the democratic party of the na- tion, which were elaborately enunciated in the platform of the party adopted by the na- tional convention in 1584, and which then se- cured the approval of the people by the elec- tion of Grover Cleveland president of the United States, We heartily indorse the administration of President Cleveland, whose faithful and fear- loss adherence to all pledges made by him has proved to the nation that it has an honest and fearless _executive, exceptionally fitted to be intrusted with the administration of the af- fairs of the government, and in whose hands the cause of reform and good government will be, a8 it has been by him, advanced and conserved. Wao esteem it & happy circumstance that we are met here in convention to deliberate upon the interests of the country and the policy of the party at the same time when the chief magistrate visits this statc, and by our presence in & body at his reception by the citizens of Omaha we will testify our welcome to him to Nebraska. That the labor industrics of the country should be relieved of the burden of national taxes beyond what is necessary to mect the current expenditures of the government and the payment of the interest on the public debt, and of pensions to the soldiers of the late war. And while due respect should be paid to the rights and interests of railroads, uand encouragement. should be given for their coustruction in this state, all unjust oppros- sions and discrimination sgainst individuals and localities should be corrected by stringent legislation, and higher rates for freight and hussengers must not be tolorated in Ne- [raski than are charged in other states similarly situated, . We extend to the laboring classes our warmest_sympathy and favor all proper leg- islation that will better their condition and will protect the workingman from unjust uxllcuonn of monopolies and aggregated cap- ital. That we are opposed to sumptuary laws and the coutinued agitatjon of the subject of probibition, sud we belicve that the rigid ca. forcement of the high-licenso law is the most practical and effective temperance moeasuro, ‘Wo extend to Gladstone and Parnell and their compatriots generally our fullest sym- l:nhy in their heroic struggle to eatablish the loasings of home-rule for down-trodden Ire- land and condemn the present attempt of the British government to execute the severe and arbitrary measure known as the ‘‘coercion act” upon the Irish people.
