If a heavy fine wore imposed on some of these unprin- eipled dealers, they would’ soon learn that it i an expensive matier to sell “Pecayed truck tp innocent purchasers.’ Nebraska Crops, TnE BEE this morning presents an- other installment of reports from ite farmer correspondents . refarding the condition and outlook of the crops in Nebraska, These very generally repeat the gratifying information previously given, that the promise of abundant rans in this state the presant year could not be more favorable. As the situaiion now appears only a most exeeptional com- bination of unfavorable conditions can prevent the fariers of this state from reaping a generous reward for their labors. The outlook for corn, Nebras- Vs great staple, is 1y good. That which was planted at tho usual date is well advanced and may be re- gardec out of harm’s way, while that which was planted later, owing to the interference of the prolonged rains, is quite gencrally prospering fincly. Other grains ars doing well, and on the whole the crop condition highly satisfactory. If thepromise now held out is realized, besides the immediate benefits to our farmers and to the whole people, it will be of great value in increasing attention to Nebraska as one of the most reliable of the agricultural states, espe is Little to Boast Of. The democratic newspapers and their mugwump allies are endeavoring to make capital against the republican convention on the charge that it is largely under the influence of capital and the corporations. They support their allegation by pointing to the fact that the chairman of the natio com- mittee by which the convention was called is alarge and wealthy iron man- ufacturer; that the tempol chair- man of the convention is a railvond at- torney; that a prominent candidate for a time is a railroad president, and that another prominent candidate has made his large wealth in the lumber trade. All" this is true, and it would certainly be better for the party if it were not so. The seloction of Mr. Thurston s the temporary ehairman of the convention a mistake and Tok Bee did not hesitate to sound a warning against his selection when his name was first suggested. Aiter the choice was made this paper spoke of it as a blunder which the encmy \mnld make the best possible use of. T now being done. We also declared an uncompromising opposition to Mr. Depew, and wo are disposed to think not without effcet. At all events the vresident of the New York Central was not long in discovering that we had correctly voiced the sentiment of the grout majority of western republicans, and he pulled out of th ce. It would perhaps have been better if he had never been aliowed to ¢ nter it, and yet his having done so has d uable lesson which men in his relations who cultivate political ambition will not soon forget. But admitting all this, how much bet- ter off was the democratic convention? The man who had most to do with the management of the interests of the ad- ministration at St. Louis, Congressman cott, of Pennsylvania, has greater wealth than any man in the Chicago convention, every dollar of which he has made under the same favoring con- ditions that have given Alger and others their wealth. Mr. Scott largely identificd with railroad corpo- rations and one of the great conl operators of the country, in which lat- ter capacity he is said not to have been always so considerate of the lahor he employed as justice demanded. Ce tainly it is not recorded of him that he ever showed labor any exceptional gen- erosity or hesitated to take any advan- tage for augmenting his wealth, As a nber of the committee on w and means Mr. Scott was watchful of his personal interests in inducing the ma- jority of the committee not to put coal on the free list. Another conspicuous figure and influence in the democratic convention was Bryce of Ohio, a millionaire who made his moncy, and in a comparatively fow years t0o, in railrond operations. Some of these were of a decidedly question- able character, but the knowledge of this has not interfered with My, Bryce to the front in the democratic politics of Ohio, and he is said now to have his eye on the United States sen- ate, whereOhio is now represented by a millionaire democrat whose election was procured largely with Standard oil :ompany money, The democracy ean hoast of little ad- vantage over the republicans in the matter of the influence of the money power, Both parties are far too veady tu court that influence and to submit [ is going Indian Mismanagement. In challenging serutiny of the conduct of public affairs by the prescut admin- istration, the democratic convention may not have had in mind the Imanner in which the Indian burveau has been managed during the pust three i Nobody, so faras we are aware, whosc testimony is of any value, pretends to deny that the management of this branch of the pul sery under the present administeation is the most dis- graceful in the history of the govern- ment. The Boston Advertiser, which not in the habit of using severe language, finds just cause for doing so. in referring to the conduct of the Indian burcau. That paper says: “A set of politicians, cheats aud loafers are conducting the Indian bureau, and its head, Atkins, after a disgraceful regime, now dArawing a large sulary while spending his time electioneering to be senator from 'Pennessee. The humiliation of this whole business is patent.” The agent of the Indian Rights asso- ciation, Mr. C. C. Painter, who hns re- ceived nothing but disrespect from the bureau officials, has been thereby spurred to greater effort for the Iu- dians. He has made extensive personal investigations in Indian tervitory and California, with the result of find- ing @ " very rotten state of affairs, He reports that the large sal- aries are paid to incompetent favorites, while the clerks and employes ave sont mostly from the south for political rea- sons. They are generally unqualified for their positions and ot disposed to learn, for shey receive their appoint- ments as political rewards aud inteud to is is | keep them on the same Vasis, *Tie notos m instances of drunken and profane mon who. ars acting as téschérs, the least of whose offences ar=-<toaling from their wards and subjecting them to par- sonal insults, “Only a few reliable agents are left, and these generally are at the poorer reservations, the large ones, whare opportunity is given for prefit to the agent, having long since been filled by Impecunious poli- ticians. There is no barrier to the full opera- tion of the spoils system in connection with this service, and the administra- tion has allowed it to prevail here with- out a question as to what might be the consequences. Experienced and efficient men have been supplanted by political heelers with neither qualifieations nor honesty, and as a consequence the aver- age condition of the Indian -service is worse than ever before known. The situation of affairs is disgraceful to a great and enlightened nation. No MORE gloomy picture of the future of Towa railroads could be drawn than the dismal reports sent out by Commis- sioner IPaithorn. Ruin is spelled with a big black R—all on account of the re- duction in transportation rates on rail- roads in the limits of that state ordered by the Towa railroad commissioners, The object of this is obvious. Tt is in- tended to depress values of western securities in the cast. Wall street must work up a statement strong enough to frighten the commissioners to take a step backwards, If a general feeling of distrust and nervousness can be ex- cited in investment civcles the people of Towa themselves, it is thought, will become frightened and order the commissioners to re- voke or modify the new tariff sheet. But what are the facts? For the past few months the railroads of lowahave been hammering each other for the purpose of ruining each other’s business. The ¢lashing of rates hasbeen going on regardlessof consequences. But in all that time no black-eyed bulletin was sent out warning investors to fight sh, of Iowa railroad sccurities. A breathing spell in the midst of these exhausted gladiators permitted the Towa commission to step in and arrange a schedule which shall stop the demor- alization of the freight traffic. And what is the spectacle? The railroads in the state have combined and turn fiercely on the commissioners as their common enem y. ———— IN T event of Mr. Blaine’s nomi- nation and election to the presidenc it will not be the first time in the hls- tory of politics when a defeated candi- date on a second trinl was elected over the man who distanced him at the first can As early as 1800, Thomas Jeflerson, who was defeated by John Adams in 1796, was elected for the presidency over Mr. Adams who stood for re-clection. In 1828 Andrew Jackson, by overwhelin- ing odds, gained the presidency over John Quincy Adams, who had won the clection against Jackson in 1824, Finally in 1840 William Henry Har son, in the famous “hard cider and log cabin campaign,” when the popular sog was “Tippecanos and Tyler, Too,” overcame Martin Van Bu- ren. This, too, in face of the fact that Van Buren was Jackson’s legatee and in 1836 not only suceeeded Jackson to the presidency but defeated Harrison in a hard fought campaign. Should Mr. Blaine consent to run, the analogy between the Blaine- Cleveland struggle and the Harrison- Van Buren controversy, extending from 1836 to 1840, would be striking in more ways than one.

Dean Gardner Delivers tho Annual Sermon to the Class. THY LIGHT AND THY TRUTH, Lockwood's story The Knowledge of Christ and the acticn of Morality and Spirit- uality Should Be Interwoven With Eduoation, The Annual Otass Sermon. Yesterday morning at the 11 vices in ity cathedral Doan Gardner, by spectal invitation, delivered the annual ser- mon before the graduating class of the high sohool. The auditorum was filled witia peoplo and the graduates oceupied seats in the vestry, The dean had boen sick during the week and it was the occasion alone which impelled him to dis d the advico of his physician to keep his promise with the class. The effort was almost mastorly, It was delivered without manuseript and with- out notes, It was based upon the text, “Send out Thy light and Thy truth: let them lead mo and 1ét them bring mo to Thy holy hill. The speaker described the condition, the miscry, the anguish of the Jews as, in cap- tivity, they yearned ardently for their homes and the worship in which, before they had fallen nto the slavery of the Chaldeans, they had been accustomed to take part, They never ceased to supplicate God to send them light, and trath aund power, some super- natural means by - which they iight be res- tored to their old condition of freedom and worship. Their prayer was a_prayer for al christians to usc, a petition for' a light and wisdom and & power transconding all human power and wisd om, because it was the power and wisdom of he Christians should look for this light, this divine feeling, and realize its im- portunce in their lives, becauso it was really the light and knowledge of Jesus Christ himself. Deftly applyiug the text to the oc- casion the dean said that this light, this knowledgo of Christ, the practice of morality and spirituality, should be interwoven with wcation. 1f there was anything to be smd rinst secular cducation it was that it di nov educate the rt and did no touch the . It was mnot possible, perhaps, i stem of public eaucation now in operation in_ this country, to have it otherwise, but, while he favored and was decply in loye with the in- stitutionis of the country, he felt that eduea- tion wotild be more thorough if it could in some manner comprehend morality in youth, Young people were frequently engrossed in physical and mental development, with ittt atfention to spiritual matters, and the speaker knew of men who were learned in their.callings and should have been steadfast in thew religion claim that they were drift- mgaway from all duties to the soul and even a belief m God _himself. — There was a great responsibility resting upon educators of the young, and upon them the spealier would call to - in some way endeavor 10 attcad to the moral and spiritual welfaro of those under their care.” The value of such could not be computed in human doliars, The dean thanked the class for the honor v had_conferred upon him in asking him before them, because he loge to stand before them on such an occasion, He suggested iy ¢ to pray to God for the light spoken of i o text, and, as that light came from God, why was'it that they could not stand in all'their emergencies in this world, because Jesus Christ would be their leader and saviour. He suggested to the graduates that each of them should take a copy of the text he had preached upon and preserve it ag the rule of conduct in his or her life. He hoped that the lizht of God and truth would be in all they did, whether as members of higher educational establishments, in mer- o'clock ser slican's Appeal to Brethren. XCURSION. ent with a Single ception. The Plattdeutscher verein were fortunate in choosing a delightful day for their excur- sion to Callioun yesterday, and the event proved in every way a grand success. Four loaded coaches containing nearly four hun- dred excursionists steamed out of the St.Paul depot about 10 o'clock and reached Calhoun about an hour later, The Union Pacific and Hays cornet bands were taken along to furnish the music. At the Calhoun depot the excursionists were met by the Schleswig-Holstein band, and a grand march was made through all tho principal streets of the city. The usually quict hills and dells of that pretty little town were rather start- led with the blaring of three brass bands and Ilu' day has passed into that city's his- of its most, distinguished cvents, 'k where the picnie was held is ad suited for that purpo nd the day was delightfully spent in dancing and other pleasures, There was but one thing to mar the serenity of the occasion, and at was the misunderstanding in d to the sale of beer, In granting the of the park to the excursionists the mayor 1 specificd that no beer could be sold inside that enclosure, The commitice who had the tler in hund supposed that beer could be » outside of the grounds and park with that understanding, ¥ morning Motz, the bre to Calhoun with forty heer and proceeded to build u bin the park.
