Jackson was the candidate for a second term in 1832, and Van Buren in 1840. As history re- peats itself, the present nominee so wnanimously endorsed will be beaten at the polls like Van Buren in 1840, CHAIRMAN BALCOMBE wants to know what the board of health is appointed for if it is not for the express purpose of abating nuisances which are liable to breed disease.

But where there is smoke there is fire, and when Union Pacific officiuls go into the real estate business there is something back of it. A SPECIAL grand jury has just been drawn in New York City to investigate nuother boodle ecembine in the board of aldermen. New York is especially for- tunate. No sooner does she econviet one sotof corrupt ofewls when another bateh indicted comes up for trial. In other cities one erop of boodlers suc- cecds another as aldermen and not so much asa finger is raised to investigate them, It is announced that Mr. Blaine will rewrn to Awmorica the latter vart of June and take the stump in favor of the vopublican nominee, whoever he may be. Asa cmmpaign speaker Mr, Blaine stands without a rvival. If he should make a tour 6f the country, his mag- netic presence, the circumstances of his unique position in politics, and his grand eloquence will ereate such a ro- wvival in republican circles us has not been seen for man, Tne appeal made to the mayor by the Evangelical alliavece, asking him to take steps for the suppression of the wine-rooms, ought not to be unheeded. These teaps fur the feet of the innocent and unwary should not be permitted to exist in this community. They are re- sponsible for a deplorable amount of vice, and hundreds of young people have taken in these places their flrst step in licentiousness and dishonor. They are snares set for the youth of the city, from whom they chiefly derive support. It will not be a diMicult mat- ter to suppress them, and a prompt and vigorous effort skould be made to do so. All goed citizens will acguiesee in the | request of the alliance that this Le doue The Democratic Ticket. This time it was the expected that happened. Nearly a month ago Tir Ber first announced to the country that Mr. Cleveland desired Judge Thurman, of Ohio, as the candidate for vice presi- dent, and that a movement to that end was to bo at once started, The move- ment did start, and the culmination was reached yostorday at St. Louis in the nomination of the veteran democratic leader on the first ballot. As we have before said, Cleveland and Thurman is an incongruous arrangement. The brains, the dignity and the character are in the tail of the ticket. The states- manship, the experience, the broad knowledge of public affairs are at the bottom. The contrast in the ability of these two men, unfavorable to the first of them, is greater than has ever hefore been presented in a national ticket, Polk and Pierce were not great men, but they were at least the equals of the men who were associated with them ns candidates. The inferiority of the hoad of the present democratic ticket is so universally recognized that it may be expected that Thurman will ocoupy far more of the attention of dem- ocratic orators in the campaign than Cleveland, and that the red bandana will become the one insignia of demo- oratic hope and fealty. The nomination of Thurman was un- doubtedly the wisest in some respects that could have been made. e gives the ticket a character which hardly any other could have conferred upon it, and he also gives it a certain strength which might have been wanting with- out him, But it is quite possible to overestimate his strength. The veter- ans of the party will rally to him with zeal and enthusiasm,but the younger ele- ment can feel nosuch interest in his can- didacy, nor can he attract those who for the first time are to identify themselves with one of the political parties. Itisa mistake to suppose, also, that Mrv. Thurman has no enemies in the demo- cratic party. In his own state he has been bitterly fought, and it is not probable that his nomination will make a difference of a thousand votes there in favor of the de- mocracy. There is no reason why he should be especially acceptable to the democrats of New York, since his finan- cial views for the past twenty-five yoars have always been hostile to theirs. ‘What effect may be produced in Indiana by his crowding Gray off the track re- mains to be seen, but it will not be sur- prising .if the disappointed democracy of that state show a lack of enthusiasm in the cause, The Pacific coast dele- gates wére especially earnest in urging the nomination of Mw Thurman, but when they come to soberly refleét that a feeble man sevonty-five yearsold could be of very little service if elected they may find it difficult to maintain their enthusi Nevertheless, it will not be wise for republicans to underestimate the strength of the democratic ticket. The safer way will be to assume that Cleve- land and Thurman will command the full party support, and to recognize the necessity of opposing them with candi- dates who can get the entire republican vote and draw from the ranks of those who are outside the lines of both par- ties. The advantage of position is with the democracy, in so far as they are in possession of the means to stimulate po- litical activity and reward political ser- vice, and nothing is more certain than that these will be unsparingly used. The party is getting back to earnest po- litical work, and its one national suc- cessin a quarter of a century has given it confidence. Its three years of power and control of the spoils has developed a most vigorous appetite for more, and it will omit no effort to keep its hold. It may as well be confessed and understood that it will be no ensy task to defeat it, and that the republican party cannot afford to go into the campaign with any mistakes to be explained away or apolo- gized for. —— The Platform. After nearly three days of wrangling in committee the democratic platform makers at last arrvived at what they were certain at the outset to reach, an unequivocal endorsement of the polic laid down for the party by the presi- dent. The members of the committee who were opposed to doing this showed themselves possessed of good stayi qualitics in the long fight they m but they must have seen from the fi that their cause was hopeless. It was absolutely neces: account, to make the platform to fit the candi- date, and those who would not admit this were so small a minority as to be almost powerless. It would seem, how- ever, from the reading of the platform that they were enabled to have introduced a few dec- larations which are in the na- ture of a compromise, but still the ondorsement of the president’s policy stands out with sufficient boldness to satisfy even Mr, Cleyeland, ~ The platform is understood to have been chiefly the work of Mr. Watter- son, which will account for its being largely a disoussion, in editovial style, of the tariff and revenue questions, It may account, also, for the fact that there is not a word of refercnce to civil co veform, a pol regarding which My, Watterson and Me. Gorman are in complete accord, though diffe ing us to the tariff, It is to little pur- pose to discuss the claims and asswnp- tions set forth in a party platform, though some of these in the St Louis production are so pulpably vul- nerable as to invite discussion, These things are expeeted in party platforms, however, and they pass for no more than they are worth us political bun- combe, The only question of concern was whether the convention would fully and squavely endorse the tariff policy of the president and of the demoecratic majority in congress, and this it did. The attitude of the party is thus clearly and irrevocably defined on what is to be the chief issue in the nationul paign. cam- — Our Trade in South Awmerica, % been issued by from My, Johu E Montevidio, concerning our trade with the South Amerieau republics, H | poiuts out thatit isiothe disgrace of Bucon, consul A careful and detailed report has just | the department of state | at | , the unsophisticated, our merchants that but a fraction of the £700,000,0000f annual commerce (exports and imports) of the twenty “‘American Indias” comes to the United States. While England and Germany are strain- ing every nerve to secure more than their share of the commercial ex- changes. the United States looks on with indifference. This should not be s0. The South American countries, by reason of their geographical location, are in climate, production, supply and demand the reverse of the United States. They are our most natural customers as we are their buy- ers. Their principal products are sugar, coffee, cocon, hard ‘woods, dye stufls, hides and wool, all of which are raw materials in great demand in the United States. In return for which the United States would return the raw materials converted into manufactures. We would send them cotton goods, agri- cultural machinery and mechanical im- plements, shoes, hats, watches, clocks, hardware, also wheat, corn, flour, bacon, tobacco, kerosene, oil, etc. But despite the commereial reciprocity of trade which ought to flow naturally be- tween North and South America, the United States controls only one-fifth of the annual trade of these countries, and supplies only one-seventh of the imports. One remarkable feature that ought to encourage a close business connection with South America is that the raw material sent from there to the United States when manufactured and sent back to the Spanish republics com- mands a price two or three timeshigher than in the “states.” England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain recognize thoe profitableness of that trade which the United States makes vo effort to invite. Itisovident that the trade of South America is worth having, in view of the continued and energetic efforts made by some European coun- tries. With a little energy the United States can regain the prestige in South America which obtained before the war, and can monopolize fully two-thirds of the business in that country. — A WASHINGTON paper figures that Judge Gresham will go into the na- tional republican convention with three hundred and thirty-three votes. The Chicago Tribune believes that he will have three hundred and fifty-five to start with, or within fifty-four of a nom- ination. If cither of these calculations shall prove to be correct it is almost certain that Gresham will be the candi- date. Itis more than probable, how- ever, that the least of them will be found to be an overestimate. For ex- ample, the Washington paper gives Gresham six votes from Nebraska, We are not aware upon what authority it does this, and tire nccuracy of its fig- ures in this instance is cer- tainly questionable. Very likely the same is true as to other states. Nevertheless, the present indications are that Gresham will lead on the fivst ballot, and thereafter a great deal will depend upon the constancy of his sup- porters. Meantime it will be well to consider what influence the nomination of Thurman is likely to have in promot- ing the chances of Senator Sherman. Undoubtedly the supporters of the Ohio senator will strenuously urge the ne- cessity of arraying him against the other Ohio man, and it is to be expected with some effect. At this time it looks as if the race for the prize would be narrowed down to Gresham and Sher- man, after other aspirants have received complimentary votes. THERE has been organized in Chicago a company of coal consumers for the purpose of securing their supply of fuel without having to pay the profits of dealers and middlemen., The company will purchase at the mines the amount of coal required by its members, and the supply called for by each member will be delivered as ordered with only the cost of transportation and handling added to the first price. The saving will be from one dollac to one dollar and ahalf aton. The company expects no difficulty in securing all the coal it may require, on as favorable terms as are given to other large buy Why can- not something of this sort be done by the consumers of Omaha? If the Chi- cago company has found the plan to be entircly practicable, why may it not also be here? All grades of coal used for domestic purposes are very much higher in Omaha than in Chicago, so0 that there is a stronger reason why consumers here should make some effort to protect themselves in this important matter. We believe that the organiza- tion of one or more companies, similar to that in Chicago, would not only benefit the members, but have an in- fluence that would be of general ad- vantage. Thematter is worthy of at- tention and now is the time to think about it, EVIDENCE already beginning to come in that the better class of Ne- braska democrats—those members of the party who have some regard for what is fair and straightforward, even in politics—are sorely displeased at the iscourtesy shown Mr. Morton by the ajority of the delegation to the St. Louis convention, We print a com- munication from one of these demo- crats, roundly condemning the action of Boyd and the men who allowed them- selves to be used by them, and un- doubtedly thousands ot demoerats in the state are in full accord with the writer. They respeet the ability of Mr, Morton, and they realize that a serious blow was struck at the charvacter of Nebraska demoeracy when he was ignored and Boyd, North and Castor pushed to the front, But the question is, what will they do about it? They may pro- test, but of what consequence will their protest be if they continue to praetically acknowledge the leadership of these men by voting with them? And nobody supposes that one of them will fail to respond when the demand is made upon him, . com————— pumber of confidence men in Omauha, it seems, is not confined to the bunko-steerers and sidewalk cappers.

The only safeguard against these rascals is for porsons who are bhrought in business contact with strangers to satisly them- selves of their integrity, The am- bitious young men from the country who, with a littla capital, come to cities to make their fortymes, should especially steer clear of oily men with glittering schemes of money-making. The chances are ten to one thit such men who hold out tempting baits of gotting rich in a hurry are all-round erooks who prey on the innocent and unwary. E——— SoUTH Omaha is a great distributing market for cattle to all points oast. All the large packing houses and butchers of Chicago, and other cities have their buyers on the ground, The result of this is to make South Omaha a point of destination for the shipment of western cattle. The high prices for beeves real- ized in the past few days stimulates the cattle market at this point, and en- courages the further development of South Omaha. Coupled with this stock market, the extensive packing indus- tries, South Omaha astonishes every- body with its immense volume of bank clearings, ROYALTY.

The ouly way in which the péople can ex- ercise their power is by elécting men to: the legislature who would not be intinndated by the corporations and who could not be bought. If the majority of both housos of the logislature were composed of men of this character there would be just logislation of some kind looking toward the control of railway corporations, If good laws were passed there would not be much difculty in enforcing them so far as the integrity of the courts is considered. The judges are, as a rule, honest and fearless enough to give impartial judgment in rail- way cases.

W. Sloan, manager of the Salt Lake City Heraid, is in the city, and was yesterday interviewed by a Ber reporter. Mr. Sloan has boen a resident of Salt Lake City for tho past twenty-three yoars, and is fully posted and conversant with the history and past and present affairs of that place. “‘What are the present general conditions of Salt Lake!” asked the reportor. “The main idea now seems to be the ma- torial advancement of the territory,” was the rosponso. *‘To this ond there is a unan- imity of santimont which I do not recollect ever having scon there before, Something over a yoar ago a chamber of commerce was organized, and its membership to-day is com- nosed both of Mormons and Gentiles, who act jointly and harmoniously on all subjocts looking to the advancement of Salt Lake and tho torritory genorally. As evidenced, a fund has recently been raised to set forth as widely as possible throughout the country the very many advantages onjoyed by Utah and to this fund both ormon and gentile names have been found running side by side in amounts rivalling each other."” “‘What are tho natural resources of Salt Lake and the territory " *They would make a “‘pmuv longthy list. I presumae I am justified in saying there is no country of the same arca that combines as many natural advantages as are to be found in the territory of Utah—these comprise equibility of climate, rarified atmosphere, finest sea bathing in the world, mountan cenery and rotreats, warm and minoral sorin@s, the last three being within fifty minutes’ walk of each other. Besides these the soil is wonderfully prolific and there is anabundance of water. All vegetables and fruits that can be raised in & temperate cli- mate find a singularly luxuriant growth, Then the mountains teem with minerals of all kinds—lead, silver, gold, copper, bound- less iron mountains, limitless coal measures, the finest sulphur known, finest and largest asphaltum claims in the world. building rock without any mineral waste, petroleum and indigging for water, wells of natural gas have been struck in such volumes that com- panies have been formed to drill deeper for it. From the water of the luke no less than fourteen distinct substances are produced by the local chemical works, each of which is an ossential principlo in some manufaoture. In the hot springs water nineteen different ingredients have beon discovered, all of them having a medicinal character, and some remarkable cures have been effected among invalids who have been treated at the springs. You see, we have an altitude in our Yerritory which ranges in different valleys from two thousand to eight thousand In tho south we can grow cotton, nges and figs, and in some parts of tho north nothing can be grown, it is so cold. ‘We can have winter and summer, and sum- mer and winter, Of courso, the more pro- ductive valleys are in the main like Salt Lake valley, which is about four thousand two hundred feet above she sea level. This gives us a good agricultural and fruit basis, which, together with our mineral rosources and opportun- s for blishing manufuctorics, begets a confidence in the future growth of Salt Lake City. In this anticipatod growth and the material advantages expected to ac- crue to the community and individuals from it, 1 imagine may be found a very good rea- son for the remarkable change in public sentimont that has taken place within the lul l\\ elve months,”” are these changes in public senti- mcnt ou speak of " cc it in @ disposition on the part of zau8 10 yioid to some extent w0 3 others.

This was thought some time ago to be impossible so far an Mormons were concerned, but it is a fact to-day. Perhaps the best evidence to be had of thisis found in the contributions to the fund collected for advertising Salt Lake City. Seven ineun are being sent out on Mormon and Gentile money to make known to the United States what have in brief already related. An exposition car has been fitted up which will make its first stand in Omaha, and will arrive n a day or two. The car is filled with manufactured and raw products, and is de- signed to teach by object lesson the romark- able manner in which” Utah has been blessed by nature,” “What deduction do you make from this ment 2" This. If the plan for advertismg Utah, and to which both Mormons and Gentiles have loaned willing hands bo successful, its effect will be to induce a heavy influx of pop- ulation and capital into Utah. This will be composed of non-Mormon elements. This fact is known naturally enough to Mormons. It is not, therefore, probable that they are opposed to the material advancement of the territory, when they themselyes are con- tributing to the in-bringing of an element which will not certainly be favorable.” “No, I do not think Mormons look for statehood Just now, though they would be glad enough to get it.” Mr, Sloan ison his way east.

A Democratic Protest Against Mor- ton's Snub at St. Louls, HasTiNas, Neb., June 7.—To the Editor of Tur Bee: The action of the Nebraska delegation at St. Louis not recognizing the Hon. J. Sterling Morton in the appointment of their committeos, is denounced by demo- crats in this city as unjust to the party, cowardly 1 principle, and in direct opposition 'u the resolution adopted by the state con- n, proposed by Frank R. Morrissey in Tayor of vd, Morton and Harmony. To take advantage of Mr, Morton’s absence was not ouly an insult to him, but an iusult to the democratic party of the state. 1f Mr, Boyd would have the democrats of Nebraska be- lieve that he is acting for the good of the party, he should have placed Mr. Morton on tho committec on rosolutions, then the domo- crats of Nebraska would have had confidence that there was going to be harmony botween the democratic leadors in the state. The vlea that Mr, North is an able man will not satiafy the democrats of Nebraska, bocauso this is the yeur that we want unqualifiedly the best men in the most responsible places. There is no comparison in point of awmlity between Mr, North and Mr. Morton. Mr. North is o man of average ability—bo more. Mr, Morton is a giant mentally and the father of tarilf reform in Nebraska, He has a national reputation us an orator and writer upon the vital issues that are before the democratic party to-day ; his cotmeil upon that committee would be valuable to the con- vention; it would be listened to by our lead- in national politics, and be of almost in- blo benefit to the domocratio party in this state, rw,vavu,‘ prejudice and solf in- torest must be considered above party lar- mouy aud general good. The would bo dis- penser of foderal patronage, the rule or ruin man of Nebraska democracy willed it other- wise, defeated what he knew to be the desire of the party, and repudiated a resoiution of his own adopted by the state convention. Mr. Boyd came so near bemg defeated in the atate convention aftor tho dologates gob on to his game, that he was afr; u:f“to trust his chances to a full delegation, but took the del- ogato that he owns by the nose and said, ““Walk up and vote for me, lot_us defeat the party, and that popular man with the people —Morton—and put me, tho great (pork) packer, at the head of Nebraska democracy.” DEMOCRAT. —_—— THE BRIDGE AND OMAHA STUFF. Both Scem to Be Getting Together Encouragingly. The announcement in yesterday's papers that the Omaha bridge bill had ,passed both houses of congress was received with much satisfaction by all leading citizens. The an- nouncement would have been more grateful had not the clause been attached requiring toat the bridge be unot built less than one- third ofa mile away from any bridge now spanning the Missouri. That clause was at- tached because of the opposition of the Union Pacific which, not satisfied with controlling - the river front with a pair of bridges, thought to discourage tho scheme of a third structure by sending it to a sitewhere it would cost a great deal to build. Senator Manderson, however, made no attempt to have tho amendment killed, fecling that the people here wanted the charter with the amend- ment rather than that the bill should be de- featod. The passage of the bill has aroused a great deal of commendation for the efforts of Mr. McShane and Mr, Manderson, with the former of whom the bill originated in the house. The bill uuthorizes the Nebraska Central compuny to coustruct the bridge for railroads, wagons and pedestrians; that if it shall be made with unbroken spans it shall not be less than fifty feet above high water mark; and if of draw pattern, Lhe spans shall ' not be less than 200 feet in length on each side of the pivot: that all railroads desiring 50 to do, shall have a right to cross the structuro und that it shall be commenced llhl\[u of two and finished in- side of four ““What, will \m. do with this bridge?” asked a BEE man of a capitalist yesterday. “D1] tell you in acouple of days. Wao're working day and night. We had a meeting last night. The best stuff in Omuha is in it.
