A man must hardly believe his own thoughts if he is a politician. Tue natural advantages possessed by South Omaha can not be longer re- tarded by the unfriendliness of rail- roads. They must give in. GENERAL BOULANGER was presented with a sword. But what can a *man of peace” want with it? The only cutting the general is doing is with his tongue. Tne United States is not the only land of the free and the brave where the bal- lot will be cast this year for president. Mexico is to choose a chief magistrate, and the probabilities are that President Diaz will be re-elected. Ecuador, Ven- ezuela, Bolivia and other republics are each to make a choice of president. But they ave all waiting until their big sister of the north elects a republican candidate. ALF TAYLOR, the er politician, has sccured the republican nomination for congress. in the Third Tennecssce district. If he is elected itisto be hoped that he will ‘““tote” his fiddle to ‘Washington with him. A httle music, even of the Tennessee kind, would be an improvement on some of the ‘‘chin music” heard in congress. Alf’s demo- cratic brother, Bob, defeated him for governor in the last race, and it is said that the people are not satisfied with Lim now that they have got him. Maybe the governor has become stuck up and refuses to go out and play for country dances. AT Evansville, Ind., last winter Miss Mamie Helms became infatuated with the Salvation Army. She donned a red bonnet and ran away with the gang. She has just returned to her parents the possessor of a little more knowledge and a big stock of disgust. She say: that the army is a fraud and its ofti a lot of money-making scoundrels, There is no warrant in the Blessed Book authorizing anybody to go about fhe country filling the air with toots and aiscord. It is said that Jesus in- vited the fishermen of Galilee to follow him, but the record fails to state that he advised them to swap their nets for bass drums. Tne New York World looks askance at the numerous petitions favorable to the Outhwaite bill flowing in on con- gross from boards of trade of the cities in Nebraska, “Thero isa similarity ahbout these petitions,” says this keen- sighted paper, “which suggests a com- mon -inspiration.” It is evident that the Union Pacific has its finger in eve one of these petitions with the inten- tion of inflencing congress 1nto the be- Jief that the people of the west desive Ahe passage of that bill. This is a gross misrepresentation. The people cannot ‘be satisfied with a measure which weak- ens the present hold of the government on this road. The peopleof Ne- braska are not in favor of sad- dling upon themselves a debt of #72,000,000 and permitting the managers to mike new expenditures and make new contracts, with money that shonld be used for the payment of the Union Pacific’s debt to the government. There is no guarantee,on the partof the Union Pacific that it will not continue its dis- Lonest methods of repudiation and ex- travagance under the proposed lenient bill, as it has in the past broken faith #with the government and with the peo- ple under the Thurman act. The pres- ent board of directors of the Union Pa- cific is largely composed of the same members as that under the Gould Billon rogime. The people hold it fresh in memory how those wreck- ers, under the pretense of build- ing up the railroad, looted its carcings, erippled its - resources, and burdened the property with mort- gagos. The passage of the Outhwaite bill will give these men a longer leaso of life for continuing their depreda- tions. So long as this elass of men con- trols the divectory of the Union Paeific, the people cam put no faith in bave promise The Outhwaite bill makes every coucession and vxacts no pledges. It is unsafe, it is unjusy, vepudinte it. Death of Frederiok. Again has the shadow of a natiopal bereavement fallen upon the German empire. Emperor Frederick I11, who but three months ago succeeded his dis- tinguished father in the imperial rule, died yesterday at Potsdam. The loss of two beloved rulers in aperiodof three months invites for the German people the sincere sympathy of all nations. Tkt death of Frederick did not come unexpectedly. For several months the world has been prepared for thesad in- telligence at any time. Long ago, be- fore the physicians would admit it, the opinion became almost universal that his malady was beyond the reach of human wisdoni and skill. Every an- nouncement of improvement, every rally of the heroic sufferor, was wel- comed wherever there was sympathy for afliction and admiration for pationt fortitude and uncomplaining heroism, but inspired little hope that the life of the emperor could be greatly prolonged. The rapid change for the worse during the past week denoted that the end was near, so that when it came it found all prepared. None the less the German people will accept their bereavement with profound sorrow, and there will be oven more to sympathize with them than when Emperor William died for he who has just laid down the impe- rial rule promised for the empire progress along the lines of modern re- form and advancement that invited to him the respect of people who could not approve the less liberal policy of his predecessor, ‘With the carcer of Frederick every reader of recent history and of current events is familiar. He distinguished himself as a soldier, while in all other relations he showed qualities of head and heart which gave him a just claim to the affection and confidence of his people. In the brief time that he was emperor, with all the difficulties of his affliction to contend against, he demon- strated that he had the ability to rule, and what was better, that he had the disposition also to rule in the interest of the rights of the people. It is not questionable that his purpose was to give to the German people the largest mensure of political freedom consistent with the maintenance of the imperial system of government, and could he have lived they would have been permitted to exercise the rights given them free from the official dicta- tion that has been the practice. More than any other ruler of Kurope, he showed that his sympathies were with the people, and he would undoubtedly have removed evils and introduced re- forms the effect of which would have been greatly to the advantage of his country. A man of more modern views than his father and of far more liberal and pro- gressive tendencies, the desires and the requirements of the people would have received greater regard from him, and this without weakening, but rather strengthening, the imperial system. The loss of such aruler gives to the German people abundant cause for the deepest regret and sorrow. The Crown Prince William succeeds to the imperial rule under the same constitutional forms and conditions that controlled the succession of the dead emperor. He has been preparing for the great and grave duties that will now devolve upon him, and in the exe- cution of which Europe will watch his course with keen interest and anxiety. His assumption of the imperial rule has been anticipated with some de- gree of apprehension, but this feeling may be unjust to the young soldier. At all events he has recently disclaimed the warlike disposition and purpose which Lave been aécribed to him, and distinctly asserted that he hasnoam- bition to achieve military glory at the costof agreat war. He is credited with ability and decision of character, and it is quite possible that he will di appoint the professed fears of the na- tions. A few months, or at most a year, will disclose his real character and his policy, and fairness requires that he be not harshly prejudged. The Squabble at the University. The state university has for years been a public crib for incompotent, wrangling professors and a private as lum where regents have placed their friends on magnificent salaries at the state’s expense. Investigations, based on serious charges against some portion of the faculty, have been the first thing in order at each regular meeting of the regents since the day the doors of the institution were opened to the public, From the time of the scandalousand expensive investigation of Chancellor Fairfield, the long and tedious farce of removing and attempting to whitewash Prof Aughy, to the present date, there has been in the fatulty continued bicker- ing and strife. Among the glaring in- consistencies, the one most conspicuous has been the retention of persons gen- erally admitted incompetent—retained solely to gratify the ambition of one or another regent who cared nothing for the state,’but who would sacrifice every- thing to assert his individual power, At the present time there is a desive on the part of three regents to dismi; Chancellor Manatt, while the remain- ing offcials are in favor of retaining the chancellor, and unceremoniously bouncing Dr. Billings, a scientist, only because Billings fails to agrece with Manatt. Isnot thisa charming state of af- fairs? The people of Nebraska, at an alarming expense, have undertaken to maintain the university as a place of learning, a comparatively free school where all residents of the state may have access to it and welcome. It was not the intention that a hulf dozen men elected as regents should use ther position for personal ends and cast & stigma upon an insti- tution that could be and should be the pride of every. citizen, If it be true that those officiuls favoring Billings' retention are in possession of facts saf- ficient to justify the ousting of Chancel- lor Manatt, under oath to perfori their duoty they can do nothing else thau demand his resignation, On the other hand, if the re- wmaining regents are cognizant of the alleged faet of Billings' incompe- tenoy, then they must also ut once dis- peuse with his services. Altee publig S T —————— THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 188 Adeclarations, amounting to little less than shocking scandals concerning two high salaried professors in a state in- stitution, the tax-payer rightfully clamors for an investigation. A com- promise at this stage of the game be- tween Manatt and Billings would be disgraceful, disgusting and improper. Lot the regents do their duty. EPee—— Tnre superiority of South Omaha as a cattlo market over Chicago is shown in a practical manner by Mr. Joseph Brennan, & well known stockman of Dakota county, Nebraska. Ha shipped a consignment of cattle from Dakota countyjto South Omaha,a distange of 120 miles, for $33 per car lond; the time was twelve hours between the interval of loading apd unloading; the shrinkage was small, and the prices were within a notch of those at Chicago. If Mr. Breonan had sent his stock to Chicago, a distance of over 500 miles, he would have paid 870 a car load, it would have taken three days for shipment, and there would have been a shrinkage of not less than thirty pounds per head. The advantages, therefore, are largely in favor of Omaha as a stock market for Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, all points in Nebraska, southern Dakota and western fowa. It must be remem- bered that our market offers such in- ducements 1n spite of railroad diserim- ation which is diverting as much busi- ness as it can to Chicago. If Omaha ‘had a railroad of its own to the north- west, which would make shipments to this point by superior facilities and rea- sonable rates, and if all the railroads centering here would wake up and real- ize that it is o their advantage to build up a great stock market, South Omaha would immediately become the leading cattle center of America, It is, how- ever, only a mere question of time when this will be accomplished. SOME months ago the Santa Fe rail- road company determined to hoom the lower Pacific coast. What for? Sim- ply to put more dollars into the com- pany’s treasury. Columns of glowing description were sent all over the east, and as a result hundreds of train loads were induced to migrate. Thousands of men went there with only enough money to pay their fare out, under promise of plenty of work. There was uo work there for them. Scores of idle men are walking the streets of San Diego to-day, vainly seeking any kind of labor. The crews ,of outgoing trains are mainly engaged in searching the empty cars and brake-beams for men who are striving to get bick to the east. The method used to induce these people to go there was reprehensiblein the ex- treme. If the promises had been made by a private individual of responsibility the people who were deceived could ob- tain redress, but it is a big corporation and there is no restitution to be had. If the deluded ones don’t like the place they can walk back, and many of them are doing so. NEW YORK CITY has developed a huge aqueduct steal in which that city has been defrauded alréady of at ieast $2,000,000 for the benefit of the contrac- tors. Between boodling aldermen and dishonest contractors, the grand juries of New York have a never-ending re- cord of indictments. Other Lands Than Ours. There continues to bea good deal of un- easiness in England regarding the inade- quacy of the defenses, and this has rocently been very much intensified by the assertions of prominent naval officers that an_invasion is not only a possibility, but that its accom- plishment would be by no means so difficult as would at first thought be supposed. reading of the opinions of these ofti certainly calculated to create some sol in the English mind, and ought to spur the government to active efforts to improve the situation. Yet a little reflection must convince any onme. that dan- ger from this source is ex- tremsly remote. If France desired to invade England a great ' deal of preparation would be necessary, and in these days work of this sort cannot be car- ried on with absolute secrecy. With a warn- ing of only a few days England could preparc a very warm reception for an invading force, if, indeed, the landing of such a force could not be rendered impossible. Still, if the little island is really us badly off in the means of defense as is represented, the gov- ernment will probably be forced .by public opinion to provide adequate means, if it shall not itself see the expediency of doing so. We feel quite confident, however, that this generation will not witness any attempt at any invasion of England. The notion of an Irish exhibition in Lon- don scems a queer one, There have been many national exhibitions in London of late, and some of them have been very successful, It has doubtless occurred to some shrewd showman that with all the talk about Ireland there ought to be some curiosity about it, and that an Irish exhibition in London would therefore be likely to pay. The question what was to be exhibited must have been in his mind a minor detail. It is a principal complaint of ireland against England that ul the Irish industries were systematically per- secuted by parhament in the intercst of British competitors while protection pre- vailed, and that since the government adopted the principle of laissez faire mn its commer- cial logislation Ircland has been too poor to revive her industries. A show of Irish agri- cultural products would not be so spectacii- lar as to attract crowds, and it is hard to see what elso there can be to show except from Belfast. An exhibition of the mlsery of the Iyish people might be instructive, but'would scarcely be attractive to Londoners, and, in- deed, the project of a special and separate Irish exhibition in London ought to be as startling as would that of special and sep- arate Scotch or Welsk exhubition. 1t is a suggestive fact that it should be received as a matter of course, s The resignation of a ministry in Spain generally means the retirement of the prime minister from office and a change of policy, The latest resignation meaus simply that the prime minister will be given opportunity to form a new ministry more to his liking than the old one. The recent ministry will be ac- credited with two reform weasures, a bill allowing trial by jury, and another sanction- ing civil marriage under certain restrictions, There is & great deal ot popular discontent because of the great burden of taxes under a rapidly inereasing floating devt, and the fear of outbreaks induced the goverhment to take vigorous measures sgainst democratic agitators iu the forum ‘or on the platform, Therefore, the old promise of an extension of popular suffrage has necessarily been kept far in the background. After the Madrid agitation of 1588 the reaction gave the moderates & predominance, and the domocrats have all along been dissatisfied with the compgsition of the cabinet. Sagasta, as the leader of the liberal party now, has an opportunity to select a cabinet that will be largely liberal in component elemonts, and in that sense, and in that sense only, is the present ¢hange of mueh interest. . . Tho statement thobd St. Thomas that tho project has been renmewed of seiling that islana to Germany seems to bé based on the impression that the latter power is just now the chief purchaser of islands in the world's market. But Getmany's method hitherto has not been that of buying insular property, but of seizing it without reference to the wishes of its inhabitdnts. Denmmark, although St. Thomas 13 financially a burden to her in those later yoars, would hardly care to ive up one of her three islands in the Antilles, and the second in point of size and popula- tion, without obtaining a good price for it. Still, Germany, which has ambitions that littie Denmark has long since ceased to on- tertain, is in the habit of going to considera- ble expense for purely military and naval purposes, and might do worse than to acquire St. Thomas as a coaling and repair station. Its advantages were set forth at length dur- ing those illstarred nogotiations which our own government at one time conducted with a view to acquiring the island. Since then it has more than once been in the market, and sooner or later will probably find a pur- chaser. . ** The trouble of Ttaly with Zangibar is prob- ably chiefly due to a desire of Italy to grasp territory, and unless the sultan can look for protection from European countries he will quickly have to yield to the tremendous flect of Ituly, his domains being of a sort particu- larly easy to conquer from the sea. They compris the islands of Zanzibar, Bemba and Matia, and also the African coast line op- posite. The 1sland of Zanzibar is much the niost important item in the list, while the strip of mainland which lies north of the Portuguese colony of Mozambique is but vaguely defined in the interior, as the sultun’s authority is disputed there by independent tribes, The island of Zanzibar is about fifty miles long, with half that average breadth, and contams about 200,000 people, chiefly negroes, with the Arab as the dominant race. The sultan’s army consists of two regiments besides a picked battalion of two companies and a const guard, the entire body aggregating only about 1,400 men. His fleet comprises one war ship, mounting twelve guns, and seven merchant vessels. It may bo imagined how long it would take a single one of Italy’s big iron- clads to destroy the port of Zanzibar and redtice the island. But the security of the sultan is in the rivalry of interests among the great powers that watch that no one of them gets too much advantage. “ The fact that the currency commission of the British parliament is to report in favor of a remonetization of silver is of importance, It would be of fnr&’c\m importance, how- ever, if thore w@re aoy likelihood that an agreement would § reached in accordance with the commission’s plan. That body pro- poses that a convention be arranged botween Great Britain and; the other European na- tions, together w?ffl the United States and India, to unite on ., system of weights and coinage whereby a free interchange of silver and gold coin could be had between the con- tracting nations, each nation opening its mints to the coinage of silver at the ratio agreed upon. 1f- this proposition were acceded to & tremendous impetus would undoubtedly? be given to trade throughout the ‘world, at least for a fow years to comes The United States and the Latin Union cou@itries have held them- selves in readiuess f9rten years past to enter 1110 an agreement with the leading commer- cial -nations regarding the union on mon ratio between the money metals, and a moderate coinage of silver. The two con- ventions held in Paris to bring this agree- ment about failed, because neither Britairt nor Germany would join Fran the United States in this matter. scarcely probable that either is any more willing to enter into this agreement now than it was when the monetary convention of 1881 was held.

Their Reception. A fow minutes after 3 o'clock yosterday aftornoon the profusely docorated locomotive hauling the solid and beautiful cars in which are traveling to the republican national con- vention at Chicago the delegations from the Pacifie coast, namely California, Oregon and Nevada, accompanied by theirr wives and daughters;” steamed into the Uunion Pacific depot from the west. The lusty cheers of the assembled throng, the responses to the cordial welcome from the occupants of the rolling palaces and the waving of the silk handkerchiefs, fashioned after the American flag, presented an inspiring and happy sight. The train was composed of elght Pullman sleepers. The Paraiso, Espira, Castille, Buena Vista. San Leandro, Chispa and San An- dreas contained the California delegation, and in addition to these are two aining cars and a baggagoe car. The train is beautifully decorated. The first coach bears on the out- side in letters two feet in heighth, painted on canvas, the following: *“Pacific Coast Dele- gation to the Republican National Conven- tion, Chigago. 1888, The lettering is in red and black, Beavily shaded, surrounded by a border of leaves, flowers and grapes. In the center is the California bear, having for a buckground a California sunset. On the second coach, the Bspira, is a cartoon representing Clevela on all-fours, with his head toward the Pacific ocean. Be- hind him is a ram named Oregon, who is in the act of butting him. This cartoon excited much risibility on the part of the bystanders. The interior decorations are all of the finest characters, and some very handsome de- signs in flowers were noted. The diming cars are poems in themselves, and are admir. ably filled, so a delegate remarked wheneve meal time approaches. In front of the tra next.the engine isthe baggage car, which contains among other things & very large quantity of wines and liquors, which are excellent samples of California pro- ducts, ‘The delegation is provided with neat little golden badges consisting of a coin-shaped piece of metal inscribed ‘‘National Republi- can convention, 1888 Depending from this by two chains is a cross lottered Califor- nia from which -hangs a small bear.

The ban- ner. which is mounted upon a pole of Cal- ifornia redwood highly polished and sur- mounted by the eagle in brass, is of white silk of the finest character, richly embroi- dered with gold braid and fringing. On one side in gold letters 1s the inscription: **Amer- ican Labor and Industry Shall Be Protected.” In the center are two oval shields surrounded by stars aud stripes. The front of the ban- ner is inscribed alifornia Dele on Re- publican Convention 188! Below is a me- dallion with a_picture in colors of the bear. The California delegates are H, W, Bying- ton, C. F.

Mark my words that when Califor- nia casts her sixteen votes for Blaine in the convention you will hear a yoll that will ro- echo from Maine to California.” Senator L. ¥. Barin, one of the Oregon dolegates, a member of the, national repub- lican committee and chatrman of the central committee of his state, said: “Oregon's favorite is Blaine and we all want to vote for him in the convention, Our actions there, however, will be controlled somewhat as to whethor 'he will promise to be a candidate, With Blaine out of the way the sentiment of our state is for Gresham. First of all, how- ever, we want a protectionist at the helm, and will not enthuse much for the candidate who is doubtful in any way on that important subject. I do not wish to have it understood though that the stato will not g0 republican, for it will, and mighty strong at that.” “‘How about the vico presidency!" the son- ator was asked. ‘‘There hasn’t been much talk as to that, but we are anxious thatif n western man the first place that the second should be lled by a man from New York, New Jorsey or Counecticut. To reverse it if an eastorn man is nominated for president, then the choice of vice president should fall to a man from Indiana.” H. C. Osborn, editor of the Evening Ex- press, Los Angeles, said: ‘‘Our California delegation is solid for Blaine. We had a meeting of the delegates and alternates on the train. There were fourteen delegatos and a number of alternates present. Somo of them were for this candidate and some for that, since Blaine's lotters were published, but they had all been for Blaine before that. They were reluctant, however, in. believing that Blaine was not to bo considered a can- didate, and when we all got together the love for the old leader could not be repressed and it broke forth in the hearty resolve that the delegation would vote for and support, until it was found wise to change, James G. Blaine, And I believe he will be nominated t00. You see we can’t trust Sherman on the silver question nor Greshum on the tariff, but Blaine we can trust on evorything. When we get to Chicago we will confer with the delegates from New York and Indiana, and find out how they foel, because while we are Blaine men wo do not want to be considered stubborn.” M. H. DeYoung, of the Chronicle, San Francisco, said: “We aro for Blaine first, last and all the fime. Weare not consider- ing any other person. 'Fhereis no room, at present, for any other leader with us, and we will stick by him until we find we can’t eloct him. For vice president, I should have no objection to voting for Depew. I seo Tk BEg is opposed to him, but then one might. just as well be opposed to all grocers simply because somo of them are in favor of monop- oly. Depow is not a monopolist. He'is ai ply paid fifty thousand a year for working for a railroad company,” and that is ail. He is a bright, capable man, and would nake an excellent selection. Blaine’s protection ideas suit us on the coast; in fact, he suits us m everything.” Corporal Tanner, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who was with the delegation, was returning home after having actively stumped Oregon in_the late election, which closed tith a republican victory on the 4th of this month. He was fecl- ing unwell and was found in his section of the sleeper. Hesaid: “Tam going home after having spent several weeks in the campaign in Oregon. That was a straight protection fight. 1 spoke every night and went there spoclully for the purposc. 8o far as I could learn tha feeling of the people there is for cither Blaine or Gresham, though they think that any man who is nominated will win_the fight—that is protection will win the fight.” Dr. Rawson, of Reno, Nevada, was anothor Blaine man. Hesaid:' “I am 'for Bleine it it can be found that heisto be nominated, and T think the indications are that he will be. The peopie need only the cue and will heartily support his nomination. For president Harrison would be my choice. We are entitled to six delegates and they are all Blaine men so far as I have learned.” S A Sensation Promised. New Youx, June 15.—[Special Telegram to Tuxk Bie.] —The special treasury agents who are busy looking up the case of the alleged smuggler of $10,000 worth of goods, Bessie Montour, are learning some family history, which promises to become as sensational as that of the Scoville woman a week ago. Bessic is one of two sisters. Both she and Minuie, her sister, have many points in common. The developments point to her as an adventuress of the most successful nature, several well known men having been taken in by her. A couple of years agoshe went te Londou and there ran across Desseldorf, the brother of the dressmaker here, charged with complicity in smuggling. She got large sums out of him and afterwards took up with an American mining agent; tue five truaks full of costumes which arrived with her the other day show her companionship has not been unprofitable. There are thou- sands of details which go to make Bessie Montour a marked woman of her type, very illiterate but very clever. She hasa most provokingly dangerous habit of boasting of her conquests and the names she uses m her bragging moments are startlingly conspici- ofts in England. the names of high in official ru while her roll of *fri names of high o cors pecial agents are now busy trying to determine whether the cOctober importation was an isolated case which facts scem to indicato was the truth, and next, who were the par- ticular insiders who stood ready to assist the clever young woman in getting her Leavy importation through dut 2, —_— The Octog CaxpEN, N.J gram to the B much v cuid.
