The list, how- ever, is by no meuns complete. The place of meeting for the annual con- clave of the Knights of Pythias for 1550 has not yet been definitely cecided upon. But with such a record, Omaha ¢un not fail to be chosen by the commit- tee in whose hauds the matter rests. 1 gets into e s e o e THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY The Situation at Chicago. Yest y was an eventful day at Chi- engo, yot it closed without situation of the unce: vailed when the convention The three ballots the friends of some and showed the worthles: s of the most careful ostimates that had been the standing of candidates. ation that Sherman would s verified by the ballot- ing, but the highest vote he received was less than his more sanguine sup- porters had confidently predicted for him,while Gresham’s vote was not more than onc-half of what had been claimed for him. veral other candidates received fewer votes than had been promised by supporters who fancs ied they had correctly ascertained the opening strongth of their favorite. The ovent of westerday upon which the republican party is most-heartily to be congratulated was the withdrawal of Depew. It removed from the conven- tion a danger, the disappearance of which will give a sense of relief to the whole party, or at least all of it outside of New York. Mr. Depow received on ono ballot a few votes in addition to those of New York, but he must have clearly seen that the great majority of the representatives of the party did not want him and that he could only suffer further humiliation by remeining in the race. A nomination will doubtless be made to-day,butaswe havealready said the un- certainty of the situation is as great now as at any time. A great deal will depend upon the course of the New York delegation, and the report is that the majority of it will go to Harrison. This would make the Indiana candidate decidedly formidable. At present, how- ever, one man's surmise is as good as another’s, and the only trustworthy thing that can be said is thatof the can- didates now most prominent before the convention the party will heartily en- dorse the nomination of either. slieving the that pre- embled, taken disappointed of the car lidates, made of A False Democratic Claim, The presumption of the democratic party in elaimi all the credit of re- storing unearned land grants to the public domain is vigorously set forth in the platform adopted at Chicago. It is there justly claimed that the policy of restoring these lands was begun under the last republican administration, and furthermore that the democratic party was incapable of doing anything in this matter without the acquiescence and as- sistance of republicans. Moveover, it is under the conditions imposed by re- publican logislation that it is now possi- ble to effect a restoration of unearned landss A very simole analysis of this matter will show the falsity of the dem- ocratic claim to all the credit in restor- ing lands to the public domain. 1t was not until two years of the pres- ent administration had expired that there was any serious disposition mani- fested to restore for settlement the un- ecarned lands granted to railroads., The former commissioner of the gencral land office worked laboriously to bring the administration to this policy, in- curring thereby the implacable hostility of the corporations, and when finally he was successful in getting executive at- tention to the matter,and the president announced it to be the intention of the administration to restore landsto set- tlement so far as it was within the exec- utive authority to do so, Sparks he- came an object of tireless pur- suit by the corporations until he was driven from office. In this work Lamar was a willing instrument of the corporations, and the country well knows how he was rewarded. The republican platform charges that the approprintions made for carrying out laws securing to settlers title to their homesteads have been used to har s innocent seitlers with spies and prosecutions, under the false protense of exposing frands and vindicating the law. There is at hand valuabl democratic testimon; ng this statement. In the house of representa- tives a few days ago, when the sundry civil approprintion bill was being con- red, Mr. MeShane moved that the proposed appropriation of one hundred thousand d for protecting the pub- lie lanc uced tofifty thousand. In addressing the house in support of his motion Mr. McShane said -t he kne of his - personnl knowledge of expendi- tures from the special agents’ fund for the procurement by perjury of false af- fiduvits which were used in the persce cution of honest settlers, and intimated more money was used in persecut- ing good-intentioned people than in the prosecution of frruds. The democratic party will hardly bo be able to make much capital out of its bonstful cluim to superior merit in ve- storing uncarned lands and guarding the interests of settlers, particularly in view of the fuct that the men most so- licitous and eflicient in promoting this policy were sacrificed to the hostility of the corporations, — A Clean Campaign. Mr. Robert Lincoln, who is sojourning in London, a fow duys ago expressed o sontiment which should be acquiesced in by the whole American people, and cavefully regarded by the newspapers of the country and the politicians who will talk in the campaign at band, Mr, Lincoln said: *For the sakaof decency and uational honor, let us hope the ap- pronching contest will b leasta cloan oue, and that the element of personal abuse will permanently be eliminatec 3 oniy necessary to recall the vulg 1d indocent calumny of last campuign to find a justitication for the hope that there will not be a repeti- tion of it this year, There were bitter campuigns before that of four years ago, contests in which personal abuse was prominent in the arrasignment of candidptes, but never one in which the country was so completely scandalized, and the minds of men, old and young, 50 much diveried from the considerd- tion of the political issues involved in the campaign to the contemplution of the characters of the standard arers of the two parties presented in the worst possible aspeet. Charges unfit to be talked of iu private - by gentlemen were spread broadeast through the e umns of the newspapers 1o be read by everybody aud freely repeated to gap- some sid. ing crowds by the political “stumpers. okes and indecent ribaldry were largely substituted for argument, cor- rupting and poisoning the popular mind. It would be impossi- ble to overestimate the evii consc to public morals ting effect upon the tion of decency which were wrought by the vulgar scandals and the personal abuse of the last national campaign. M. Lincoln is entirely vight in say ing that the national honor is involved in this matter. We invite and deserve the contempt of the world when we recklessly besmirch the personal char- acter of men selected as the leade of two great parties, one of whom, by the votes of an intelligent and free peoy must occupy the highest office on carth, Such a course inevitably, in the eyes of gma on the peo- ple themselves, We cannot look for the respect of intelligent Europeans when we elect to the executive office of the nation a man whom we have our- sclyes branded as corrupt and im- moral, and it is. no excuse or palliation to say that all means and method re fair in politics. The public record of a candidate is a proper matter of discus- siog, what he has done or omitted to do in an official capacity may rightfylly be considered, the question of his ability and qualifications is pertinent for dis- cussion. But there is never any neces- sity for going beyond this, at least to the extent of finding some cause for per- sonal scandal. The campaign at hand will furnish sufficient to talk about and to think upon to keep the tongues of the stump- crs and the minds of the people fully oc- cupied during its progress without the aid of personal abuse from either side. There are great and vital principles to be discussed the popular interest in which will not be exhausted in four months. TLet these be carefully, carns estly and thoroughly debated, exclud- ing all baser matte nd the campaign of 1888 may become memorable as the beginning of the permanent elimina- tion of personal abuse from national political contests. Juences and the deterior common appreei other nations, casts a st Tur dense ignorance displayed by Linglish editors in American volitics would be ludicrous were it not at times pitiable. The editor of a London newspaper vemarks: “I must confess my inability to unde nd the news which reaches -me that Mr. Cleveland has been for a sccond time elected president of the United States by ‘ac- clamation.” It is an honor conferred onlyon two previous presidents—Wash- ington and Lincoln. Others have been elected twice, but not by acclamation.” That is English as she is read. Tuk Towa railroads are putting them- selves in a ridiculous position. The moment the state commission arranges an cquitable freight schedule, there goes up a chorus of doleful complaints from railroad managers of *‘ruinous rates which will send Iowa roads into bankruptey.” But when the same rail- road managers fight each other and carry freight for almost nothing.it is all ght, even though the stockholders are robbed to gratify the ambition of these reckless “*Napoleons.” Other Lands Than Ours, Oncemore Mr. Gladstone has scored a point, this time in Seotland, which perhaps os it greater significance than if it had Dbeen made almost anywhere else. The dist- riet of Ayr at the previous election returned Richard Campbell, liberal unionist, by a ma- jority of 1,171, Upon the death of Mr. Camy- bell another iberal unionist, Evelyn Ashle was put up, while Oaptain St. Clair, who ran against Campbetl, was renominated. St Clair was elected Friday by a majority of in a total of 4,500. The Gladstoniaus made a gain of 1,233, while the liberal unionist loss is 405, The speciul signiticance of this defeat of the government is that the tories cannot say, us they did at their Southampton defeat the other day, that the compensation clause of the local government bill did1t. The gov- ernment, immediately after the Southampton election, withdrew the liquor license clauses of their bul, and thus the home-rule was the only one considered at Ayr, Gladstone wrot a letter to Hartington, ening the liberal ists for their pledges, took it upon These two letters gave the e various towns of the Ayr burghs a text, and the result will make sensation in Bugland. The cocreion ministry is constantly los Less is heard of the in- vasion scarc in England, due, perhaps, to a discovery of Lord George Hamilton, made public through the house of lords. This is that the landing of an army of 100,000 men never been attempted in England, and that an army of that size, with all its p phernalia, would involve so much prepara- tion in the way of transports, ete., that Eng land could not help finding it out in time to make ready to refit four times that force, either by lund or water, Morcover, that the trausporting of 100,000 men is a feat never accomplished over a body of water as wide us the English channel. Lord George's dis- covery seemed so simple that the only won derabout it was that it did not oceur to everybody at the start. No sooner was this soothing assurance advanced, however, than leading soldiers at home and on the continent been questioned, whose verdict scems reo that past precedents cannot settle the question of landing troops to-day, with all modern facilities for transportation, issuc Mr. Lord arraj union not keeping and Mr. Chamberlain Limself to repl speakers in t has The orders of the new German emperor to the army and navy were not entirely suring, but in view of his subsequent utter ances it does not seem entively fair to im- pute to him a war-like purpose. In address- ingthe army and navy he showed that ho stands by the famous speech of Prince 13is- mavel, which was the boldest manifesto, all things considered, of the present generation Not only was Russia notified that her polidy was offensive to Germany, but that if con- tinued, it would lead to war; nor that alone, but she was informed just how German, would go 1o work to let loose the full force of the empire upon the czar’s domains, The young ewperor stands by all this, which is, in fact, the Bismarckian notion of proscry- ing peace. Emperor William's proclamation to the Prussian people geve more distinetly the other side of the picture, “I have assumed the government z up to the King of Kings, and nave vowed to God that after the example of my fathers I will be a just and clement prince to my people, that I will foster piety aud fear of God; that I will protect peace and pro- mote the welfare of the country, and that I wilt be & belper of the poor and distressod and a true guardian of the right.”” This cer- tainly does not read like the language of an insincere man, and he begins bis reign by au sct of reparation. The differeuces betweca reas- look | is a matter of history that the political ex- him and his widowed mother, which havo | been so long the scandal of the Gorman court, have been healed. No one expects him to earn at ondd a trinute like the one protiounced upon e dead emperor by Mr. Gladstone in the Tritish commons, for he does not come into power with a ripe mind and a purpose solemnized by the thought of death; but there is nothing in his proclama tions to show that he is not alive to the bur- dons and responsibilities resting upon him, Europe is looking the possibility of war ly in the face, and the preparations on 1ds for what is generally believed must sooner or later come do not lag. Austria has had4its military expenditures on a war foot- ing for six months, It has to-day as many troops m Gallicia as would be there to mect war, S0 has Russia on the other side of the line. The Russian railroad to Samaracand has greatly shortened the trip to India. Where Russia was once fencing with England with a cavalry sabre at arm’s length, it has now cropt close with a dagger. Italy and France get no nearer an agreement on their tarifs, and the former has began to fortify its ex- posed posts, The English panic over an in- vasion has for its first causo a belief in thoso high in place that a great war is neat in Eu- ropo. The new war cloud may all he only a turn to the serew by which the Austrian and German governments expect to squeeze out new eredits, There seems to be no doubt that in both lands the troops must have a new rifle. The new French arm, the Tebel, has mado all the rest old. It is light, kills at two miles, it burns a smokeless powder and carries a light ball 8o that the soldier can march with twice as many rounds. This arm will give troops big odds when the French army all have it. The German staff may feel it safer to fight before this is done, (he boycotting of the Paris fair of 1280 by the monarchical governments of Kurove is more distinctly signalized than ever by the continued refusal of Russia to take oficial part in it. Russia has abundimt reasons for keeping on friendly terms with France, the only great country on the continent of whom she has much to hope in the event of a great war. But the hatred of popular government and the unwillingness to secm to forgive the memorable uprising that overthrew the Bas- tile M 1780, which the Paris exposition is de signed to celebrate, are motives too powertul to resist.

How would it do to repeal all laws vermitting the forma- tion of corporations, except for publie purposes? Men will go into a private corporation, with limited liabilities and special privileges, but they will be more guarded when they must assume the responsibilities of puartners. Per- haps it would be practicable to enact laws whereby the powers to st in a corporate capacity would be taken awav from persons who design the formation of trusts: if w0, what would make more easy the consummation of the iden above suggested. In Texas tho question of prohibiting all private corporations was under serious consideration, even be fore the evil results of trusts became known. If you think this matter worthy of consideration T will be glad at some future time to elaborate “and submit a plan which has oceurred to me for ear- rying it out. M. H.

Ryley alighted and proceeded to demoralize the family and household in general, while his trusty escort awaited his command in the street in front of the houso. § Ryley's first at was on a sister-in-law, who was temporarily at his house assisting in the care of a daughter of Kyley's who re cently met with an accident from which her life has been hanging in the balance for two weeks, and only by the most reful and attentive medical skill and nurs. r has she been arrested from what was re. garded o hopeless case of concussion of the brain. The sister-in-law was struck several tames by Ryley before she eseaped to a neigh bor's, He then turned his attention to his wife, who was driven by the same brutal foreo from the house. The family physician, who was in the sick room, was the next ob- ject that met his enraged gaze. He escaped by beating a hasty retreat, receiving no worse injury than a fusillade of the most awful profanity, which sent a_ shudder through the person of all the residents for blocks around. His son was the next and last subjectof his assault, who fled as the father drew o revoly Ryley was armed with revolvers and his~ couduct would have done credit to the pioncer days of Buffalo Bill. Police assistance was called, but be. fore the police arrived he w riven away. “Thie injured daughter swooned away and lay unconscious until neighbors and medical assistance arvived . and restoratives were applied. She re- wived only to beconscious of the awful scenes she had witnessed and remained in an ago- nized state of nervous prostration. In ashort time Ryley was_again _driven back by his trusty cabman and landed at his residence, where he proce: 1 to exercise his su- premucy over the houschold. The previous flashing of fircarms Lad its effect upon the fumily and all but the prostrate daughter tied upon his second arrival. This portion of most wholely in of women and children during the daytime, but fortunately two or three men chanced to be near and were called to the rescue. A warrant was sworn out for Ryley’s arrest and placed in the hands of Constable Baboer, who induced Ryley to accompany him to the city where Ryley was immediately released byJudge Berka, Tt was reportéd that he hiad s d bail by friends in the city and would be kept by them until morning. The restoring and comforting the daughter was in progress when Ryley and his trusty: cab driver in appeared on the scene, and all fled and left the coast clear for Ryley, ¢ copt Mrs. Rtyley and o small daughter” who would not desert the bedside of the helpless one.
