Scarcely a duy passes, since he has been spoken of us a presidential possibility, that he has not allowed himself to be interviewed three or four times an hour. Speech-muking is confessedly one of Mr. Depew’s chief qualifications, but it is evident that he. will not be able to tull himself into the white house. I UBLI S are ver e a happy family especially at convention time. 1t is perfectly proper to bicker about candidates among themselves until the deciding nomination. But the moment the lucky eandidate is announced, per- sonal and factional feelings vanish like dew before the sun. The once discord- ant clans unite s the grand old party and shoulder to shoulder the fight is made under the flag of victory. — Trre reports from the money centers of the country for the week are encour- aging. Money was easy and deposits on banker’s bonds were increusing. The effect of the death of the emperor of Germany and the accession of Will- fam 11, caused a slight downward ten- dency, but not sufficiently marked to at- tract attention. There is therefore a healthful look in commercial circles, although a little more activity in com- anoreial lines might have been expected for this time of the year. THERE are two,and possibly three railvoads, pushing their way from Minnesota into Omaha. They are the Duluth, St. Paul & Omaha, the Winona & Southwestern, and the western exten- sion of the Lackawanna system. The purpose of these railroadsis to divert the shipment of our corn and packing product from Chicago to Duluth and pther lake cities. Theve are indica- tions showing that Chieago is already nlarmed at this move. The probabili- ties are that in a few years Duluth will become a powerful rival of Chicago, eontrolling the shipments of wheat, Jumber and flour of the northwest via the lakes to the eastern seaboard and to Europe. The advantages possessed by Duluth, situated at the head of Lake Buperior, makes that city the natural outlet for the products of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Duakota and Manitoba. Moreover, by reaching out through Jowa to Omaha, Duluth will be in a pos- ition to divert from Chieago the im- meuse corn crops and our packing house ‘products, now shipped vie Chi: cago and the lakes to the east. That is why three pailvoad lines are straining . svery merve to bind Omaha to. Duluth. The Ohicago Convention. The political interest which for sev- eral days has centered upon Chicago will be intensified by the assembling of the national republican convention to- day. TIn some respects this will the most important convention in the his- tory of the republican party since the one which in the same city, twenty- cight years ago, nominated Abraham Lincoln. The demand now is 16t less urgent than it was then for the exercise of the highest wisdom and the most un- selfish patriotism on the part of the representatives of the party in choosing a standard bearer, The onemy to be overcome is entrenched in power, and will be entirely unserupulous in using every means at their command to retain power. The vast army of federal office holders will be allowed the unchecked use of all their influence in :promoting the re- election of the democratic candidate. The millionaires who will have the chief management of the democratic campaign will see to it that there is no lack of the “sinews of war,” and there will be unsparing promises of reward to those who work faithfully and efficiently for democratic success. The planof the democracy is to fight an aggressive bat- tle, and to keep it up with vigor to the end. There L some disaffection, but no effort will be spared by the president and his political managers to bring the dissatisfied into line, and the proba- bility is that such efforts will be largely successful. At all events, 1t will not be wise for the re- publican representatives at Chicago to give great importance to rumored or possible dissensions in the ranks of the opposition, or to the assumed power of any man whose name may be presented for their consideration to draw votes from the democracy. The safer plan will be to act upon the belief that No- vembor will find the democratic party in its full strength, and in this view make a choice of candidates who will certainly command the full republican strength, with at least an even chance of securing a majovity of the indepen- dent vote and of that large army of voters who will in November cast their first ballot in a national convention. In the list of candidates who will be named to the conven- tion there are men who would meet these requirements—men to whose sup- port all sincere republicans could rally with enthusiasm and zeal, and whose record and character would attract many thousands of new voters and those who are not indissolubly wedded to any party. The hope is strong’in the masses of the party that such a man will be selected, and the present aspect of the situation is mnot discouraging to this hope. 1t istrue that the situation is unsettled, that the following of each of the several candidates is very earnest and zealous in pressing the claims of its first choice, that there has been devel- oped some feeling not in the direction of harmony, and that there are influ- ences at work » the pres- ence of which is to be re- gretted. But all this was to have been expected of a body of independent men, freée to express their. choice among a number of able and honorable vepre- sentative republicans of nearly egual claim to the confidence of the party. The convention at Chicago will not be dominated, as was that at St. Louis, by the will and authority of one man. It will not assemble merely to ratify a cut-and-dried programme arranged at Washington or elsewhere. The repre- sentatives of the vepublican party at Chicago are not mere puppets. Yet while there are strong differences of ovinion now as to the merit and avail- ability of candidates, there is veason for confidence that when the convention gets down to its work in earnest, and the real strength of the several candidates has been formally ascortained, the spirit of harmony will assert itself, and whoever shall be shown to possess most of the confidence of the party in his ability to achieve victory will be chosen. With- out attempting to disguise the fact that there are men in the convention whose selfishness is much grea than their patriotism; granting t it would be better for the republican party if ce tain elements werernot in the conven- tion, we still believe that a majority of that body will be found r y to subor- dinate all personal considerations and all individual ambitions to the ques- tion of party success. There nothing objectionable in the ac- tivity and zeal which the frionds of the several candidates are manifesting. It is desirable that the records of the men whose names will be presented to the convention shall be fully and fairlyunfolded and their points of availability carefully considered. What is to be avoided is the creating of antagonisms and factional feuds that will result in introducing lasting dis- sension and disaffection in the ranks of the party. The majority of the rep- resentative republicans at Chicago, we believe, fully appreciate the supreme importance of the task that is before them, and until circumstances compel a less optimistic view we shall continue hopeful of such a wise termination of their labor as cannot fail to commend itself to the hearty support of all true republicans. Want Treasury Help, It is reported that certain New York democrats who expect to have the as- sistance of influential democrats in the west, are very anxious to have the pol- icy of the troasury in the purchase of bonds changed. They think amore liberal policy would contribute very much to the success of the party this fall, Their idea is understood to be that the treasury should fix a price a little above rock-bottom at which he would purchase bonds and offer to take all that offered at his price, in which case it is believed he could secure large quantities and speedily effect a con- siderable veduction in the surplus, If this should be successful in stimulating business the demooratic party would of course get the prestige. It must be confessed that Seoret Fairchild has made a r&ther sorry show- ing in his effort to reduce the surplus by the purchase’ of bonds. Under the circular of last April only about twenty- two milliou dollars have been paid out be is of the surplus on account of bond pur- chases, and this comprises the whole of the reduction made in the interest-bear< ing debtof tho nation since early last fall. The present secretary of the treasury, like his predecessor, has never been well disposed toward this of getting rid of the surplus, Both he and the president found an excuse for not buying bonds in the professod belief that they had no authority under exist- ing law to do so, and it was necessary for congress to declare by reso- lution that they had ample authority before an offer to buy bonds was made, And even then the policy of the treasury was notsuch as to en- courage the sale of bonds. Perhaps, however, that was in the interest of the government, since it is manifestly not the duty of the treasury to bull the market in bahalf of the bond-holders, even though it be demonstrable that in the end the government would be some- what the gainer. At all events, the present is nota good time for the treasury to make a change of poliey in the direction of in- dueing bondholders to scll their bonds by offering a better price, however small the difference, than can be ob- tained in the open market. The demo- cratic administration cannot afford to listen to a proposition of this kind, in whatever plaus- ible form presented. The people would have no difficulty in understand- ing the prime purpose of such a change, and they would not be slow to condemn it. Had not the administration desired an accumulating surplus, as something out of which to make campaign argu- ment, there is not a doubt that the sur- plus would now be less than it isby many millions. But having made no adequate effort to keep it down, if the administration shall discover that a great mistake was made, itecannot hope 1o rectify it by recourse to a policy that would virtually condemu its past course. Having consistently and persistently played into the handsof the castern centers, it must take the respon- sibility of its conduct. Tue Bell Telephone company has bitten off more than it can chew in its controversy with Mayor Frauncis of St. Louis. A recent ordinance in that city fixes the maximum annual rental for telephones at #50. The company re- fused to accept these terms, and began removing telephones from the houses of subseribers where contracts had ex- pired. This was a bluff game, intended to scare the city lest all telephone ser- vice should be abolished. But Mayor Francis was equal to the occasion. He ordered the commissioner of public works to take down the poles and wires, on the ground that the Bell company had by removing its telephones relin- quished its business. The Bell com- pany in consequence has come down from its high horse and is trying to patch up a compromise. The firmstand taken by Mayor Francis took the tele- phone company entirely by surprise, and has taught ita lesson which will not be forgotten in many a day. IN a close. uncertain contest for the nomination, such as the present repub- lican convention proves to be, it is a difficult matter to name the ballot which will decide the choice of the party. The first ballot in the econven- tion of 1888 will in all probability lead off with at least five favorites—Allison, Alger, Gresham, Sherman, Harrison, and a string of six orseven ‘‘short horses.” In 1884 there were eight leading candidates who polled votes on the flrst ballot for the presidency— namely, Blaine, Arthur, Edmunds, Logan, Sherman. Hawley, Lincoln and General Sherman. In 1880, six favorites —Grant, Blaine, Sherman, Edmunds, Washburne and Windom—were named, but none of them obtained the necessary number of votes. Garfield, who was finally nominated, did not get a vote on the first ballot. At the Cincinnati convention in 1876, Blaine, Morton of Indiana, Bristow, Conkling," Hayes, Jewell and Hartranft were voted for, but Hayes, a *‘short horse,” captured the prize. Will the convention of 1888 emulate the action of 1576 and 18! I may be well forthe eastern capital- ists and newspupers, who are decrying the Jowa railroad commission because of its reduction of Jocal rates, to remem- ber that for the last dozen years this commission has treated them fairly. It has proven itself impurtial and fearless, on muny occasions protecting the rail- roads against popular clamor. Asa care- ful, deliberate body, the state railroad commission has won for itself the confi- dence of the people of Iowa. Tt was not until after a f; areful considera- tion of the local turiff sheet that the commission recommended the reduc tion. The railroads can not but recog- nize the justness of, the demands, and they would win the good will of the state by conforming to the new regula- tions. —— Tae Burlington & Northern afew days ago made a four-dollar rate from St. Paul to Chicago, but now denies it. All the rest of the roads are selling at the ten-dollar rate, as agreed upon. The crawfishing action of the Burling- ton & Northern is apt to get that rail- roud into trouble. It had no right to g0 back to a ten-dollar rate after its cut without giving ten days’ notice, as re- quired by the inter-state commerce law. It is getting more aud more ap- parent that the railroads of the north- west are playing fast and leose with the inter-state law. They should be brought to terms by the inter-state commission- ers before the law becomes a laughing stock. — LAsT week was on eventful one in the distriet court. The severe sentences passed upon a number of vile eriminals by Judge Groff will have a wholesome eftect. Their restraining foree will equal a hundred policemen. Fear of legal penalty deters many a wretch from committing crime. There are cut- throats hiding in dark alleys whowould murder you for 10 cents were it not for the almost certain severe retribution of a fearless judge. They have it in their hearts to commit the blackest of crimes. This commuuity wiil nopmiss a mother’s i son of thew- PROMINENT PERSONS.

That city had asked for it aud although the Omaha turners would havo been ploasad to socure it for this city, yet Kansas City was allowed to walk oft with tho privilege. It thercupon became the duty of tho Kansas City turners to mako arrangements for the fest, which generally takes place in August of each year, On the first of the month wover, the Kansas City men wrote the vorwaerts, this year lotated in Topeka, that they would not be able to do ' anything toward holding @ turn-fest | this year, and sug- gesting that the privilage bo oxtended to some other oity. The vorwaerts communicat od this intelligence to all_the vorcins in the Missouri . Valley bezirk, and the news has been recelved with pronounced disploasure. Itis claimed that Kansas City should not have sought the fest if she did not want it, and further that she should long since have found out that she was not_able to get ready for holding it. As it stands now, but litle time is left in which to get ready for the fest by any city which may bo disposed 10 guar- antee to propare for it The principal cities in _the _bezitk arc Omaha, Topeka, St. Joe, Kansas City, Maryyille, Lawrence, Atchison and Emporia, Coupled with Kansas City’s notifi- cation 18 the intimation that she wants to join the St. Louis turn bezirk, which com- prises several vereins in that city of indiffor- cont material and a fow more in smaller citios in Tllinois which are of little value, This is proposed becavse sho hopes to earn some- thing there, which she can’¥ in the Missouri Valley, because she has been throe times badly defeated by Omaha. .

The case of the state against William C. Bryan, on & writ of habeas corpus, was being heard yosterday before Judge Dundy, Bryan was arrested some time ago on a charge of bastardy and released under $1,200 bond. His bondsmen subsoquently surrendercd Lim and Judge Groff, of the district court, ordered him placed in jail to await his trial or until he could give a new bond. Satur- day Bryan's attorney asked that the bond be decreased to 8700, which request was granted. The appheavion for the writ of habeas cor- pus proceedings was bogun in the United States court on the ground that the defend- ant had no right to be placed in jail when re- leased by his bondsmen without being given a chance to secure a new bond. The court took Bryan's petition under ad- visement. Attorncys have been granted many in- dulgences in the past by ecasy-going courts, and often consult their ‘own convenience in the prosccution of cases. Judge Dundy took the procrastinating lawyers to task yesterday and gave thom warning of breakeérs ahead. He announced that hereafter if attorncys are not promptly on hand when their causes are called the court will dismiss the cases for want of prosecution. The following cases were dismissed yesterday for want of prose- cution: Isaac L. Seymour vs School District Dawson county; Andrew C. Housh vs Rich- ard Kuhn; Edward L. Munrvoe vs M. E.

Some time ago patriotic citizens of Omaha made up a liberal purse and presented some choice engravings for tho ofiicers' room on the man-o*-war Omaha, which had recently been named for the city. The officers of the Omaha rectprocated recently, it seems, by sonding a prosent of silken colors and a pic- ture of the vessel, which were to be tho property of the city and be deposited in the mayor's offico, Mayor Broatch has just re- ceived a letter from the quartermaster, dated in New York, asking if the gift had been re- ceived. The' writer explained that he sent his inquiry because the articles describod had been sent but no acknowlodgment had been received in return. Neither the mayor nor the city clerk has veceived the gift, nor does either know aught of its probable whore- abouts. Its loss is unaccountable, and a tracer will be put on the track of the miss- ing articles. A Deed of Heroism. Saturday afternoon W. L. Parrotte & Co.'s traveling men went out to Cut-off lake to take a swim. They hired two boats and got all the fun out of them that nine jolly trav- elers possibly could, with the exception of big-hearted Jack Garratt, who rescued a_lit- tle boy from drowning. The lttle fellow was leaning against a post at the ena of the chute belonging to one of the ice houses when it suddenly gave way, and immersed the boy in about ten feot of water. Immediately both Dboats were headed toward the boy, who sank twice before the boats were half way to him. Mr. Garratt, realizing the boy's perdl and acting promptly, jumped overboard and grabbed the 'drowning boy as he was going down for the last time. Those who saw the affair cannot say too much Mr. Garratt's praise. Unfortunately at the time Mr. Garratt had on all his clothes, in- #uding a very valuable gold watch that is much the worse for its bath, and ceases to tell Jack when it is time to get up in the morning and repott to the office when the balance of the boys do. In addition to this mishap Mr. G. lost a valuable diamond pin aud wet his new three-dollar straw hat. He_expressed his satisfaction in having kept his cigar in his mouth, as 1t was the last oue he had and consequently the ducking did not count.
