L} MISFORTUNES never come singly. There was harmony at the convention and Tammany Hall burned down. THE Thurman bandana sells for ten ceats. Itisa poor democrat who can’t decorate himself with Jeffersonian sim- plicity. “Tae star-eyed goddess of reform” is suffering with a very bad pig stye sinco Henry Watterson has teken her under his wing. Tue reception of the Alaska delega- tion toSt. Louis was much more chilling than the coldest day ever experienced in that land of ice and polar bears. GrorGe WILLIAM CURTIS is called ““the white czar of mugwumpia.” That comes from prodding Grover Cleveland as a backslider from civil service re- form. JUDGE GRESHAM carries five bullet scars on his body. A man who could face a rebel battery in that style need not fear the pop-gun shots of his de- tractors. ToE tariff plank was pretty well hacked and split by the Gorman ecle- ment in the committee, but Chairman ‘Watterson had it all nicely glued to- gether again when it was brought into the convention. ————— THERE are two men in the sonate older than Mr. Thurman, who was born November 13, 1813. Senator Moriill, of Vermont, was born April 14, 1810, and Senator Payne, of Ohio, counts his years from November 30, 1810, ——— Not three days ago a letter was sent to the editor of the Philadelphia Record asking where employment could be se- cured for *“300 able-bodicd Italians who are willing to do any kind of labor at sixty cents a day.” Thisis adeplorable showing for the high protection state of Pennsylvania where labor must go a lm%viug for hard work at starvation Wages. Ir would not bo at all astonishing if petroleum were found in the Mackenzie valley in Canada. Recent explorations in that slightly developed region have confirmed the beliof that vast mineral deposits are there. The Canadian Pa- cific railrond will undoubtedly push into that country ere long,and the great northwest will become as familiar to the ear as Manitoba or Vancouver, em—————— It looks after all as if General Sheri- dan might live to put the finishing touches to his ‘‘Personal Memoirs.” The work is practically finished and in the printers’ hands, butup to the mo- ment of his fatal illoess General Sher dan continually revised it. There is no doubt but that next to Genoral Grant’s memoirs this military history will be tho most valuable contribution of the kind to our literature. Tue latest statoments from the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy were issued a fo v days ago which is a fair index of the cost of the strike to that road. The rveport shows a decrease of $300,000, about 25 per cent, in gross earnings, and a decrease of 8750,000, about 70 per cent, in net earnings for the month of April. From Janusry 1 to April 8 the uet earnings of the Burlington for 1588 ave $875,000, For the corresponding period of last year they were $4,266,000 —al of $3,891,000, If the Burlington cluims to have won a vietory at this price, such another victory will bank- rupt the road. — THERE is favorable promise that the bill appropriating $1,500,000 for u f eral building in Omaha will be ap- proved by the conference committes, which will be conclusive so far as con- gress is concerned. The bill will then have to run the gauntlet of the pres dent, and there is reason to fear that it may not receive his approval. He is not showing any more willinguess than formerly to approve liberal expendi- tures for public buildings, but the case of Omaha is so much stronger than most of those presented that Mr. Uleve- Jand may find little dificulty in con- vincing himself that the proposed building is & necessity. A Railway Campalgn, The audacions action of the executive committoe in fixing August 23 as the time for holding the republican state convention is only what was %o have been expected. Tt is simply in further- ance of the scheme conceived by the railway managers, and in part already executed by their hirelings, to eapture the entire machinery of the party and again place the state under railway domination. Inspired with their suc- cess in controlling the congressional conventions in the Second and Third districts, they have the brazen effront- ery to attompt another game of snap judgment on the people, the result of which will be that every state officer nominated must woar the brass ocollar and every legislator chosen by the party will be a creature of their choice. To defeat prepared slates of railway vings and obtain an expression of the people, it is necessary that each voter take part in the primaries. 'This the captains of the corporation brigades know full well. And with the knowl- edge that the primaries would be called at a time when the farmer i$ busiest, in the name of the party they thus make their raid. With two congressmen already chosem and a delegation to represent them at Chicago, together with a programme cat and dried to elect all of the state officers—brought about by chicanery and in defiance of general customs and former usages in Nebraska, it behooves the people to ofganize and to act. This high-handed procedure is an insult to all the farmers in the state. It means that thoy will have no representative in the legisla- ture; that the railway commission—to decide between the people and the cor- porations, and the board of equaliza- tion to assess their property—will be composed entirely of railway men; that laws will be enacted in de- fiance of the popular will, and that the iron yoke of monopoly will bear still heavier upon the producer. The republican party can ill afford to make mistakes this year. The bums mers and strikers who will seek su- premacy cannot count on the outside strength of a presidential nominee. The voters of Nebraska, regardless of the decisions ot packed conventions, will assert their rights. The presiden- tial ticket will save no local candidate. Briefly, if the republican party ex- pects success in November, it must no longer lie in the bed it has been com- pelled to make with the railway man- agers. The Democratic Challenge. The democratic national platform de- clares that it welcomes an exacting scrutiny of the administration of the executive power by Grover Cleveland, and challenges the most searching in- quiry concerning the fidelity and devo- tion of the party to its pledges made four years ago. The bombastic challenge was unnecessary. The administration of Mr. Cleveland has been under steady scrutiny since it begun, and the expo- sure which is certain to be made of its many weaknesses and shortcomings dur- ing the national campaign will not fail to keep the democratic intellect very busy in finding exvlana- tory reasons and defensive argu- ments. The party, also, will receive full consideration with regard to its pledges and the character of its fidelity to them, It must not be forgotten that the ad- ministration which is now so raptur- ously extolled by the democratic party was, during the first two years of its ex- istence, vigorously condemned by the party from one end of the country to the other. While Mr. Cleveland was listening to mugwump counsel and re- warding mugwump service there wasno denunciation too bitter for democrats to apply to him. He was ignored by the party leaders, to whom in turn he de- clined to show any regard. Men who had the courage boldly attacked him on the floors of congress. No attention was paid to his recommendations, and his opinions on public ques- tions were made a subject of ridicule. The majority of the demo- crats of his own state became strongly ombittered against him and made use of every opportunity to manifest in the most aggressive manner their dis- pleasure, The mention of his name more frequently elicited hisses than applaus Eighteen months ago no man conspicuous in the democratic party had fewer friends thau Grover Cleveland, and at that time he could not have obtained a hundred delegates in a national convention. The change that has been wrought since is not difficult to account for. One reason is the utter poverty of the democracy in men avail- able as presidential candidates, Hill was for a time a hope, and the only hope of those who despised Cleveland, but being a mere dema- gogue he could not hold the advantage which he'once clearly possessed. Had Hill been equal to his opportunity it may fairly be doubted whether Cleve- land would have secured a renomina- tion. Another reason is that when Cleveland becamo fully imbued with the ambition to succced himself he lost no time in pandering to that great ma- jority of the party which he had deeply offended by his undemocratic profes- sions of opposition to the spoils system, The civil servico reform policy which was to receive its highest development under his administration was allowed to fall into neglect. Wherever it was found uot to be congenial to democrats no respect was paid to it, and very gen- ally throughout the country federal of- fice holders, in open disregard of exe- cutive mandate, were active in cau- cusses and conventions. Mr, Cleveland hud the shrewdness to see that only this was needed to bring the party to his feet, and he did not hesitate to adopt the expedient, although to do so was to stultify all his lofty Cprofessions and pledges before and after he entered the presidency. It was suceessful, and My, Cleveland is enjoying whatever gratifi- cation he can derive from & renomina- tion obtained by the almost complete abandonment of the fon in which he paraded before the country four yearsago. Even the Civil Service Re- form league, which has been most patient with the president, hecause st of its members helped to elect him, was compelled in candor to re- cently say of tne late polioy in the vil wervice Uhat “it can Be attributed only to partisan pressure for wholiy partisan objects, which the president hns unfortunately not resisted.” The platform boasts of the finauncial policy of the admimstration, yet throughout it has been conducted in lines favorable to the interests of Wall street. Mr. Cleveland went into the presidency with a publicly proclaimed hostility tosilver, upon which the demo- eratic majority in the house pronounced an ungualified condemnation, and his first secretary of the treasary adminis- tered the affairs of the department with reference wnder all circumstances to the welfare of Wall street. The present socretary under great pressure has departed somewhat from the course of his predecessor, but even his policy has not left out of consideration what might be most favorable to the eastern money oenters. It is not questionable that if the administration could have had its way unchocked the financial sit- uation of the country would be very dif- ferent from what it is, and very much worse, 80 far as the currency is con- corned. Silver, at least, would have beon driven out altogether. The conspicuous interess of the presi- dent in southern statesmen with strong confederate records will receive atten- tion, and particularly the illustration given of itin the appointment to the bench of the supreme court of a man who had no fitness for the office in pro- fessional experience or service, and whose selection was a defiant insult to the loyal sentiment of the country. In respect of our foreign affairs, no admin- istration since the organization of the government brought so much humilia- tion upon the country. The history of our foreign relations under Mr. Clove- land 1s an almost unbroken story of stupid blundering and degrading con- cession. Stress is laid upon the course of the administratjon in restoring lands to the public domain, but well doing in this direction did not last, and the offi- cials who were most active and zealous in promoting this policy were punished for their exertions by being driven from their places, unquestionably to satisfy the demand of the land-grant corporations. It will thus be seen that the adminis- tration has a history which strongly in- vites scrutiny and inquiry,and in which enough can be found to command the interest and reflection of the people during the five months’ campaign. It will be laid bare as never was the his- tory of an administration before, and we venture to think there are some parts of it the exposure of which will not be welcomed by the democrats. THERE is no reason why Texas cattle should mot be shipped to the South Omaha stock yards. The quarantine regulations against Texas cattle have outlived their usefulness. These state regulations have virtually given Chicago and Kansas City the monopoly of the Texas business to the detriment of our interests! The commissioners of the Nebraska Live Stock association are now sceing the mistake, and, are anxious to re-establish the shipment of Texas cattle to our market. All that is necessary for a revival of the business is a modification of our state quarantine laws. With a little encouragement, the Texas shipments to Omaha can be won- derfully stimulated. By the comple- tion of the Denver & Fort Worth voad, there is now an all rail connection be- tween the Texas ranges and Omaha. Cattle can be shipped from Texas to our stock yards within less than a week. Three years ago the cattle were driven from Texas to Ogalalla and from there transported to Omaha, All this is done away with now. There will be a great saving in time, 1n expense and in shrinkage by sending the Texas herds to Omaha by rail. The ready market which South Omaha offers, and its nearness to the ranges will still further advance the little giant as distributing center. Tor that reason South Omaha is more preferable than L}himgn or KansasCity, Inall probability, within a very short time. the former city will absorb the bulk of the trade which has been turned away from it by the quarantine regula- tions. Exertions, therefore, should be put forth by our loeal stockyards com- puny to muke the shipment of Texas cattle here as attractive and profitable delegation of representative citizens from Atlanta, Ga., whose visit to Omaha is so pleasantly remombered, have just returncd home from their tour of the west. The citizens of At- lanta turned out en-masse Lo welcome them back and to hear from their lips the wonderful stories of the great west. Omaha came in for a good share of their praise, The delegation was cs- pecially pleased with the hospitality of our city ms extended by the board of trade. They were impressed that “‘one firm was doing a thriving business here. Tt was ropresented by the initials C., B. and P., and the firm was Cash, Brains and Pluck,” It is a matter of satisfuc- tion to our citizens that in the eyes of these southern geutlemen Omaha wis the equal of any city they visited. Itis acompliment to our energy and to our abilities that we have caught tof the age and grapple with the live commercial questions of the hour. Lovers of the speed ring and of horse flesh will be able to gratify their expectations of good racing on June 12, The spring meeting of the Omaha Fair and Exposition association takes place on that date and continues four days. The large purse which is to be divided among the winners,the number of noted fiyers entered for the track and the ad- mirable management of the association are sure to draw an immense crowd o the races.

The 1ate action of the tory administration of Great Britain in proclafming the chief cftios of Iroland has callod rewewed atten- tion t3the grvel and tyrannical policy for crushing out the ciussof drish liberty, This latest evidence of tory despotisin i another desperate effort to crush the league, and, like its predecessors, it will fail, because the people of Ireland are united agaist the party in power, and neithor threats of arrest nor arrests tan hinder them from making their protests against the iniquity of landlord rule. There are over forty thousand tenant farm- ors in Ireland to-day who have been warned out by their landloras. They have no hope save in the Trish National league. With the loague behind them they can make a good fight. Without it they must cortainly lose their holdings and be turned ont to starve on he bogs. Therefore the tenants stand firmly by the league, and the lengne will continue %o stand between them and the cruelty of their landiords, even though every oity and village in Ireland is proclaimed and evety agitator for Irish liberty goos to prison. e The British goverament is almost at log- gerheads with the Australian colonies on the Chinese question. They have for some time past levied a poll tax of £50 on every Chinese immigrant, and restricted the number to one for every 100 tons of the shin's burden. They now propose to prohibit Chinese immigra- tion altogether and ask the imperial govern- ment to foliow the example of the United States by negotiating an exclusion treaty with China. This the ministry has thus far declined to do, and even threatens to veto Australian legislation for the same object; the result is great excitoment in the colonies. Lord Carington, the governor of New South Wales, has sent home a dispatch at the in- stanco of the colonial premier, Sic Henry Parkes, in which the latter makes known that if the proposed treaty Le not promptly negotiated, “‘the Australian parliament must act from the force of public opinion in devis- ing measures to defend the colonies from consequences which they cannot relax in their efforts to avert.” As there is not the small- est interest in the matter in Englaud, the probabilities are that the colonists will eventually have their own way. * " A genuine ministerial crisis has arisen in Prussia, the first within the memory of men not yet past middle life, and it affords the strongest proof yet given that the change which has come about in Prussia and Ger- many is real and radical. This crisis differs in its nature and in its probable outcome from the crises which were not infrequent incidents of the reign of William. The Em- peror Froderick has rebuked Puttkamer, the vice president of the council of ministers and minister of the interior, for an abuse of the government power in elections, something like the “‘offensive partisanship occasionally exhibited in this republic, and refuses to pro- malgate the law extending from three to five years the legislative period unless his lotter to Puttkamer be giiblished with the law. The ministors rnnn]::l 1o resign. The pres- ent emperor's fathérarely had any trouble with his miftisters. Under the lead of Bisma they were sufiic- iently pervaded with the spirit of reaction and absolutigm to make them rendy to concede everything to the imperial de- mand. And when dificulties arose with the deputies in the kingdom or the empire the “erisis™ was commonly ended in @ summary fashion by dissolution, Tho present Prus- sian crisis is a healthy sign for the German people, and it will give new ocourage to the progressists, and to all liberal-minded Ger- mans, though there is reason to fear that the excitement incidenito the affair may have grave results for the emporor. " The complete failure of General Boulanger in the French chamber on his first appear- ance with his plan of constitutional revision will not necessarily close his political carcer, but it must greatly discredit him, A Cwsar, or ‘‘savior of society,”” who discusses is lost. None of the others, Julius Cresar, Cromwell, or Napoleon, ever put themselyes in positions where they could be answered or inveighed against publicly. The part which Boulanger played was, in fact, that of a parliamentarian, or “avocat,” as the French love to call the glib-talking politician whom he denounces so much, and in a game of this sort, although he has made one or two good hits in debate in times past, he was sure to get the worst of it. Floquet mauled him badly, ruined his “dig- nity,” a very scrious matter in F'rance, and presented him to the public in the attitude of a feeble, helpless man, in fact, anything but the stuff for a dictator. He still continues, howover, to be the outward and visible sign of a discontent which is stronger in the coun- try at large than in Paris, and which nobody seems quite able to explain further than that the low price of cattle and the failure of the vineyards have something to do with it, The French farmers haye not, in fact, been so badly off siuce 1815, and have not got over the old habit of blaming the government for low prices, and the doings of the chambers have certainly not been calculated to make the republic seem much of a providence. #. e A slight speck of war looms up over an island in the English channel, which is so small and insigmficant that teers do not mention it, The briti Mistletoe has visited the spot and warned the French that they wust quit Maitre Isle, over which they have raised the tricolor. The French claim the island, but England says that it belongs to ber. It would be rather strange if the war, toward the possibility of which Sir Charles Dilke . has recently been directing the attention of the English, and in which Russia and ¥ ce were to forma coalition against C t Britain, should break out because the tricolor has been displayed ou little Maitre Isle. Of lato the English newspnpers have been saying that England would be in abad case if any of the conti nental powers should attack her, and that the great necessity of the day is that she shiould be prepared to meet an invasion, As regards Russia, England fears for Persia, and fully beliey that both Russin and France would be perféctly willing to break her power, providing a reasonable oppor- tunity for doing so should be afforded. She does not look complacently at the prospect of secing the Mediterrancan turned into *u French la " and at vresent she is very touchy, so that it is by no means impossible that the trouble in regard to Maitre Isle muy have scrious consequences, % Tho report thut thédgar is to be crowned emperor of Ceutral ASia at Samarcaud by way of offsetting Queen Victoria's Indian title is not unlikely, nor would the corona- tion be merely the ¢ of flummery that it at first appears. 1t 18 reported that it grati fies the queen to be called Kaisar-i-Hind, and 10 be able to sign herself “Victoria R. 1., though 1t is doubtful whether the assumption has any more solid advantages. But there was no actual investiture in India, whi coronation at Samarcand, with the powp that Russia would give to it, would without doubt be a clever political stroke. It would create a deep iwpression of the Russian power the populations already subject to and amouy the populations of the de- and whouw it 15 stili more ss.

To the syndicate she has assigned the right to work her mines and guano deposits now dis- covered or yet to be discovered. The syndi- cate is also given the free use of all the high- ways, railways and quays in existence, and an apparently complete control over all the commerce of the country. It has the right 1o establish a bank, and it receives a percent- age on the custom house dues. All those concessions may be mortgaged to the amount. of §26,000,000. Furthermore the syndicate is exempted from taxation and import duties. No nation on ocarth was more completely bouna hand and foot than is this South Amer- ican republic—once independent and meas- urably proud. . " An exhibition has been projected, under the sanction of the German government, to take place av Berlin from April to June, 1889, the object of which is to illustrate and spread the knowledge of all devices for the preven- tion of accidents. All nations have been in- vited to participate. All life-saving inven- tions or articles or machines that relate to the protection of laborers, and all plans for the promotion of the welfare and safety of persons and property, will be admitted and oconsidered. The scheme covers a very wide range of production, and must result in great benefit if the general co-operation of civilized countries shall be secured. The government in its comprehensive paternal- ism Las given great attention to schemes of insurance against accident, and this exhibi- tion will no doubt enable it to make new rules and regulations that will reduce the present life risk, PROMINENT PERSONS, Inventor Edison is quoted as saying that he would give all his fame to berid of his deafness, .

A report that Senator Hoar may not bea candidate for re-election next year is not causing much hopefulness among senatorial aspirants in Massachusetts. John Quincy Adams, of Boston, a gentle- man of culture and refinggnent, has built for himself a yacht which he calls the *Baboon,"” in honor of his Simian ancestry. Senator Stanford's losses go by threes. He now monrus his $10,000 horse, which died of pneumonia; his pedigreed wastiff, which ex- pired of the sume disease, and his splendid stables, burned at Palo Alto, Mr, Endicott is irreverently spoken of by the Boston Globe (Dem.) as “‘our se highly-starched secretary of war—evidently one of those rare artists who don't dare to be as funny as they might be.” enator Stanford does not smoke, but he kecps royal cigars for his friends, and vis- itors he likes are initiated into the hiding place of the *‘weoeds’—a repository back of a big clock in the senator’s office.
