S s Endangering a Gobvd Object. The national convention of republi- can clubs which assembled in New York yestorday, and will continue its sessions to-day and to-morrow, appoars to be threatened with conflicts in the interest of particular candidates which may go far'to destroy the value of whatever action the convention shall take on the specific objects for which it called, These, ns stated in the circular issued by the promoters of the movement. are to consider the proprioty of organizing, in the various states of the union. a large number of republican clubs, and to determine the best manner of con- ducting their work, and also to devise some system that w conduce to the efficient co-operation of these clibs in state and national politics and the for- mation of a nutional league.

The object of the convention is a good one, and if it shall be kept to its strict observance most sat ctory re- sults may reasonably be expected, but if the convention is perverted to the service of any individual, in however remote a degree, the consequences will be demoralizing and damaging. The intelligent and thoughtfut element of the republican party will be very likely to resent all attempts to force any man on the party. — Senate Secret Sessions, Another attempt will be made to do away with secret sessions of the United States senate. Mr. Platt has again offered his amendment to the senate rules providing for the public cousider- ation of nominations and treaties, and the subject will in due time come on for discussion. Whether the chances are better now than they were last winter for securing the abandonment of the unrepublican and otherwise objection- able custom cannot be said with any de- gree of cortainty, but it is possible that the new senators will be found to take the popular view against se ssions. One strong supporter of this view, Gen- eral Logan, will be missed from the dis- cussion, bit his clear and strong words of opposition to the old custom should not be forgotten, and they certainly should not be without influence with his successor There can be very little that is now added to the discussion this subjeet received last winter, and in which the weight of argument was clearly with those who advocated the abandonment of seeret sessions. The custom is hos- tile to the proper republican principle that all affaivs conducted in the name of the people should be open to the inspee- tion of the people, and that everything of the character of star-chamber pro- ceedings is incompatible with a due re- sponsibility of the people’s servants for their conduet to the people. No good reuson can be given why treaties which involve the faith, honor, material in- terests, and perhaps the political in- tegrity of the nation, should be passed upon in secret by seventy-six senators, biic.

Recently le gave an exhibition in Leinster hall, 'mE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1881 — Dublin. and while his science was ap- preciated, his oratory caused the large audience to howl itself hoarse. The gentleman who has made the name of Boston a household word is with wonderful success in the old world. While it will be impossible to steal the laurels from Buffalo Bill, Colonel Sullivan will always be regarded by the English and Irish asa man of wonder- ful powers. His efforts as an after-din- ner talker leave Mr. Depew far in the shade. It might be here remarked that the polished colonel guined his first ex- perience in after-dinner speeches in Omaha. At the Millard hotel, about a. e ago. after a gorgegus banquet, Mr. uilivan was called upon for a speech. Rising, asa Roman gladiator, the Boston gentleman said: “Gintlemen, T am not much on spache making but T can knock out any d-——d man in the crowd.” But in Dublin, Mr. Sullivin at his best. He simply talked on subjects with which he is familar. In his speech, which fairly caused all of Dub- lin to go wild over the great American, he said that if he happened not to have been horn in Ireland, atany rate his father and mother and all his ancestors were Irish, « He added that it was not necessary to add that he was a chip of the old block. *‘His sympathies were with the Ivish people and he hoved at all times to look back on them as the best people in the world. He had come to this country, or rather to England, to meet the best man, and he believed that man to be Jem Smith. He hoped before his return to America to hav the pleasure of meeting Smith—within the limits of & twenty-four-foot ring— s0 that there it might be decided which was the better man, If he should beat Smith he would extend to him his hand in friendship and good will, and if Smith should best him he hoped that the same token of friendship would be reciprocated.” It is unnecessary to add that such a speech from an American statesman was sufficient to cause the air to be fairly rent with cheers and trumpet- tongued applause. Europe may appre- ciate the fact that America has no const defenses, but when it comes to states- men to the manner born she enters the ring for sweepstakes every time. In the Interest of Manufactures. The board of trade has appointed a committee to induce manufacturers to locate in Omaha. The gentlemen se- lected to pegform this duty are well qualified todischargo it judiciously, and pll of them having interests in the city rendering them solicitous for its pros- perity and progressgit may ve safely ex- pected that they will give prompt and zealous attention to the labor de- volved on them. There is no time to be lost in the matter. Other cities have similar committees in- dustriously engaged in presenting their claims as manufacturing points. The competition for industrial enterprises is active and growing. Unless Omaha en- ters the lists at once with earnestness and vigor she is very certain to be the loser by delay. As we have heretofore said a great deal of valuable work should be done during the remaining winter months, and if judicious and thorough work shall be done by the board of trade committee, assisted as it will be most heartily by'the press, it is not to be doubted that next spring will witness a gratifying fruition. The intelligent committee of practical men will need no suggestions as to how it shall proceed. The obvious thing to be done is to keep the claims of Omaha before publicattention, to have the facts at hand in the most convenient form for promptly responding to inquiries for in- formation, and to obtain such knowledge asitmay be practicable to get regarding manufactarers in other localities whose acquisition would be desirable and who would remove if reasonable inducements were offered them. There are. cer- tainly many such who need but to be advised "of the opportunity that offers here to promptly avail themsclves of it under conditions that would justi them in removing their plants. The im- portance of encouraging manufacturing enterprises in Omaha has been so often urged in the BEE that we nced not ve- iterate the well understood, and we be- lieve fully appreciated arguments. With its commercial power “and progress assured, this city now requires the firm foundation of wealth and the attraction to population which manufacturing industries give, and un- til it has these it cannot attain its lurg- est possibilities as a metropolis. All this, weare very confident, the commit- tee appointed by the board of trade fully appreciates, and we expect to find this appreciation promptly, zealously and judiciously manifested by the com- mittee. . They Should Do It. 1t will be gratifying if the managers of the railroads entering Omaha shall wisely conclude, as it is intimated from Waushington they may do, to abandon the discriminating tariff schedules against this city now in operation and adopt new ones that will be just and sat- isfactory to our business men, thus obs viating the necessity of any controversy before the inter-state commerce com- mission. Nothing is move certain than that if the commission is required to pass judgment on the existing schedules it wiil pronounce them unjust and un- reasonable, and very likely there is not a manager of any of the roads entering Omaha who has a doubt about this. There hus never been a stronger case presented for the consideration of the commission than that which the repre- sentatives of Omaha’s business interests have prepared. It will show a system- atic and excessive discrimination such as hardly any other city hus ben sub- jected to, and which no eity of less com- meveial strength and vitality than wha could have experienced without strous effects to its business. It has been o drawback, necessavily, to the prosperity of this city, but the fact that Omaha has nevertheless grown and prospered shows the more stropgly the invincible conditions upon which her business is founded. It would undoubt- edly be a confession of past injustice if the rouds were to voluntarily rearrange their “tarifls on a fair basis, but this would be' more.creditable than to be forced o do so, as they certainly in the end will "be if they hold out. Tt would - be, also. a meritorious example that might have good regults elsewhere. We shall be very glad to record a gen- eral agreement among the managers, ot an edrly dday, to take the proper and just action they are suid to be contem- plating. Chicage terprise. Since Chicago has been designated as the place for holding the national re- publican convention in 1888, the papers published in the city of Hams have heen giving to the outside world pic- tures and deseriptions of the great audi- toriam, where the convention will be held, Omaha, had she been successful in her designs, would pot have been far behind Chicago in her enterprise and desire to please and accommodate the vast multitude which will be in attend- ance, The Herald of Chicago, thus describes the great structure now in course of con- struction, and which will be completed in ample time: The substructure is of dark gray granite from the Mesaba Heights quartt Minne- sota, the walls rough-hammered finish, with polished columns; the superstructure of sumooth-hanunered buff Bedford stone from quar inIndiana. It is ten storiegin height, with a square tower 40x71 feet, rising eighty feet above the roof. It hasa frontage on Michigan boulevard, Congress street and Wabash avenue of 700 feet, or more than one- eighth of a mile. The value of the ground, which is leased, is $1,000,000, and the esti- mated cost of the structure 2,000,000, - The main feature of the building is, of course, the auditorium. Another important featur grand hotel of 500 rooms. Five thousand chairs will be arranged in circular rows in the audience-room proper, while by elea the stage and utilizing the foy ional seats may be provided, seating capacity of 8,000, Chicago’s \-utcrpu-m is commendable. While the immense building will be partly used for oth purposes, it also guarantees ample room for the conven- tion's use. Four years hence Omuha will engage in a similar enterprise. On Higher Grounds. The press of the country is calling for a national campaign free from scandal. The Philadelphia Inquirar, which made a noble fight for Blaine in 1884, speak- ing of the campaign against Mr. Cleve- land, says: It did not keep him out of the white house \hc first time, and is not likely to be tried again, for, whatever may be thought of his political careor, his privato life at Washing ton has given rise to no scandal. His cam- paign will be fought on his public record for the past four years.. Upon this subject and commenting upon the Inquirgs’s article, the Atlanta Constitution suy: This is properly put by our republican con- temporary, and if it echoes the sentiments of the respectable organs of the party, we will have a campaign this time which will be free from the dirty séandaland personal abuse which characterized the last one. The last presidential campaign was a disgrace to both sides and wo sincerely trust the then meth- ods employed will not be repeated. They cannot possibly infure Mr. Cleveland, nor could the repetition of the scandals against Mv. Blaine effect hid political chances. The above view is formed on the idea that Cleveland and Blaine are to be the standard bearers in the next presidens tial campaign. In any event the sug- gestion is one that will commend itself to every good citizen, and the watch- word should be, *‘Iiet the man without sin heave the first boulder.” — Bogus Gold Finds. The arid territory of Arizona has recently been the center of attraction because some imaginary newspaper cor- respondent found an abundance of gold mines. The travel to Tueson, and on to the mining camps, has almost equalled that to the Black Hills in '76 and Lead- ville in '78. The gold seekers who have gone to Arizona have found to the sorrow that the reports concerning rich ds had their origin alone in the cre- ative minds of unreliable boomers, and they are now returning poorer but wiser men. The Potomac river also was reported to be the scene of great finds, and office seckers around Washington rushed to the new Eldorado, only to ascertain that they were dupes of real estate men and speculators, who assessed them for what little ready cash they possessed. Georgia now comes in with her claims, and a special telogram from Nacoochee asserts that English capitalists have purchased large tracts of land which are literally covered with gofd. One man who was an “eye witness” is as enthusiastic as Scott’s chavacter in Kenilworth who insisted that in the New Eldorado gold grew on trees and was to be had for the gathering. One account of the Georgia fields says, in speaking of the tract of land purchased by the English syndicate: *The rich character of the deposits has been long known, but several circum- stances have hitherto contributed to hinder their being worked in an eflie- ient and systematic manner, the want of a canal and stamp mill being the principal, and it .is highly probable these would have been put upon the giving a total and eventual death of the interfered with the work.” wking, the gold fields vauds of the first water, who are deceived by the alluring newspaper accounts are not to be pitied. They should know better than to believe every rumor set afloat. EE———————— Repalir the Sidewalks, A sujt has been commenced against the city to xecover #5,000 damages, al- leged to have been rpeeived by a gentle- pan who fell through a hole in the de- fective sidewalk, corner Burt and Division streets. Other persons have sustained serious injuries by falling through some of the numerous holes in the sidewalks of Omaha, but few of them enter complaint beeause they think the law relating to the recovery of damages is us defectivo ns the side- walks., Commenting upon this subject, the Republican says: Under the convenient law of the city, how. ever, in order to recover damages a person must notify the mayor at least five duys in advance where he proposes to damage Him self. The old law contained provisions as above stated. The new law provides: No city of the metropolitan class shali be liable for duwages avising fLow defective ing health late owner, sesident of Leadyille, w property some time ago had not the fail-« alleys, sidewnlks, public pirks, or other publie places within such city, unless actual notice in writing of the accident or in- ju omplained of, with a statement of the nature and extent thereof, ana of the time when and place where the same oceurred, shall have been proved to have been given to the mayor within twenty d. after the oo- currence of such aceident or injury ; and it is hereby made the duty of the mayor to keep o record of such notice show time when and by whom such notice v 1, und de- scribing the defe® complained of, and at once file the same with the city clerk, who shall report the same to the city council at its next meeting. The Bk has vepeatedly urged the sidewalk inspector to report defective and dangerous sidewalks to the propoer ofticials, He draws a salary for such services, and taxpayers demand that he perform the duties of his office. It is in the interests of both humanity and economy that our sidewalk system be rendered safe. STATE AN Nebraska Jottings. Seward will soon indulge in electrie light.
