J8, h"l 1 or Juiy, 15 e bed inmy THE report of the unfavorable turn in the illness of ex-Governor Saunders be received with deep regret by the city as well as the state. NEBRASKA democrats are preparing for their big sun dance, but McShane’s mocassins are all worn out and there’s not another pair in the eamp. TWO THOUSAND repuplican speakers will stump Indisna this fall, and the democrats are nervously laying 1 more “sonp” for distribution in that state. MR. WEHRER, of the board of educa- tion, will win his spurs as the cham- pion objector if he continues to prod the members and committees at every meeting. The American party goss in for age n the choice of its president candi- date. “‘General” Curtis, its nominee, is eighty-six and therefore entitled to pose as the ‘‘first” American, IT WAS very thoughtful of the young ladies of a New York county town to vote Mr. Cleveland a bed spread. The nights of November are uncommonly chilly and Mr. Cleveland consequently appreciated the gift. THE raising of beet sugar undertaken by the government in order to intro- duce that industry into America hasnot been encouraging. The last report to the agricultural bureau comes from the experimental station in Kansas where a fair trial was given to the industry with indifferent success, The attempt to in- troduce the culture of beets for the making of sugar will in all likelihood be abandoned by the bureau as one of the costly hobbies of that department. SENATOR REAGAN culls a trust ‘‘a combination of capital or skill by two or more persons to create restrictious of trade, to limit, reduce or increase pro- duction or prices of commodities, or to prevent competition in tho manufacture or sale of anything.” The senate will in all probability take up the discussion of thisall-important question, if not dur- ing the present session,at an ecarly date. CHARLES CROCKER, who was one of the **big four” combination which built the Central Pacific, left an estate valued at $20,000,000, The commission of in- quiry sent out by congress to inyestigate the Central Pacific management throws some light on the methods adopted by Crocker to gain his wealth, The “big four” was made upof Crocker, Stanford, Huntington and Hopkins. In the con struction of the Central P eific railroad they clmmed to have paid forty - one millions in cash, eighteen millions in bonds, sixty millions in stock—making a total of one hundred and twenty millions, The cost of building the railroad as determined by the Pacific railrond commission was only fifty-cight mil- Jlions. This ‘may explain into whose pookets the sixty millions jingled as elear profit, paid by congress to Crocker and his partners over and above the ac- tual cost of the road. —————— AN examplo of the love railroads _bear to cities is well illustrated by the combined action of the Chicago railroads in giving up their fast mger trains to Omaha and Kan- “sas City, but maintaining the fast cattle trains to Chicago. With- drawing the limited passenger service was done on the plea that ‘‘cut rates” ‘would be made by those lines which could not compete with the fast passen- ger trains, but no such tears seem to disturb the railrond wondd re- garding the limited stock trains. Both Kansas City and Omaha are made the victims of the fast cattle trains to » Chicago. Mr. Ripley, the traffic mana- ger of the Burlington, is credited with saying that were it not for the faststock trains all the packing and slaughteving industries would be loeated on the Mis- sour! viver, Tt is very evident that the railronds arc looking out for their own _dnterests fivst, last, and all the time. Chicago is favored as aguinst Omaha ~ and Kansas Cigy because fast live stock trains pay better than fust passenger service, Was Yost Slandered ? Some of Mr. Yost’s friends bitterly denounce the editor of T BEs, be- hind his ,and assert that what he suid in his card a few days ago concern- ing Mr. Yost's political carecr is a cruel slander. Let us quote what was said about him: Mr. Yost has no claim upon true republi- cans who lay stress upon loyalty to the party. He was an able-bodied young man when the war broke out, but shirked his duty to the country, and never even hired a substitute. Within six months after he came to Nebraska he was made deputy United States marshal. Within two years after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, when treason was rampant and the country was about to be handed over to its enemies by Andrew Johuson, MF. Yost bectme an apostate to the party and Johnsonized with other officcholders who were willing to wreck the republican party and the countyy for their sclfish ends. He hoped to organize the Johnson-democratic s and supported J. Sterling Morton, then a pronounced cop- perhead, for governor. When . Grant became president in 1868 Yost was promptiy deposed as United ates marshal. From that time until he was made postmaster of Omaha Yost never spolke of Grant exeept in terms that* are ap- vlied to the vilest of vile men. In 1870, when General John M. Thayer, who had served gallantly through the enti war, was recoguized as a stalwart republic had voted in the senate to impeach And Johnson and was a warm supporter of Gen cral Grant's administration, was a candidate for ection to the United States senate, Casper E. Yost made common cause with th democrats and supported the democratic legislative ticket in Douglas county against the straight republican ticket which was pledged to re-clect Thayer. During Yost's incumbency as postmaster of Omaha he used his power and influence repeatedly to defeat republican candidates who were personally offensive to him. In 1576 he organized his postal employes and ielped to defeat W. J. Connell, then re- publican candidate for district attorney. In 1885 Mr. Yost joined hands with the democrats again and supported James E. Boyd for mayor of Omaa, against Murphy, the regular republican candidate. Now, wherein, we pray, has Mr. Yost been slandered? Is there a single alle- gation in this indictment which can be refuted? If Mr. Yost has been slandeved, why has his organ failéd to even make the attempt to set hnm right before loyal re- publicans. The Treaty Rejected On strict party lines the senate yes- terday rejected the fisheries treaty, the vote being thirty against and twenty- seven in favor of ratification. he course of the discussion plainly indi- cated this result, so that the failure of the treaty will be no surprise either to the people of this country or of Canada. This leaves the controversy just where it was before the treaty was ne- gotiated, and the tedious and irritating difficulty will very likely be reopened at a not remote day, with possible con- sequences more or less serious to both countries. The last congress author- ized the presideat to proclaim commer- cial non-intercourse with Canada in case the authorities of that country persisted n the policy hostile to American fisher- men and in contravention of rights claimed by this country to be guaran- teed by treaty. It has been reported to be the intention of the president to act under this authority upon the fi sion that arises justifying a declaration of non-intercourse, and it is rather tobe expected that he will do so. Thereje tion of the treaty cannot be otherwise than very displeasing to him. He was undoubtedly proud of the negotiation, notwithstanding the fact that it was effected in plain disregard of the wish of congress, very clearly expressed and hoped to utilize it in the way political capital. The defeat and appointment cannot fail, therefore, to greatly irvitate the président, and if Canada shall give cause for declaring a policy of retaliation, and political con- siderations appear to Mr. Cleveland not unfavorable to such a policy, he will very likely seize the first opportuni to declare it. He may make non-inter- course gencral or partial, according to his discretion, and in fact the whole matter is left to his judgment of what may be necessary or expedient. As to whether Canada will be likely to provoke such action, the chances are that her former policy with respect to American fishermen will be renewed. There wasa very considerable senti- ment in that coun opposed to the treaty, though doubtless it was accepta- ble to th ajority, but now that it has been rejected the very general feeling among the Canadian people is likely to be favorable to an insistence upon the Canadian view of existing treaty ar- rangements, which will mean a renewal of the policy that caused so much trous ble and irritation, and menaced the peace of the two countries, Having Been sustained in her past course by the British government, Canada wil doubtless again receive that support. Commercial non-intercourse between the United States and Canada is a pos: bility not to be regarded with indiffer- ence. Undoubtedly Canada would be the larger loser by such a policy, but aside from the financial aspects of the matter is the moral effect of such a hos- tile proceading upon the future v tions of the two countries. It would seem that it must inevitably increase the irritation on both sides and thus tend to postpone the consummation of the reciprocal commercial relations which are being urged with apparently grow- ing favor in both countries. As to the political effect in this coun- try of the rejection of the treaty, we can- not see that it can amount to much. If the treaty had boen ratified the adm tration would of course have had a little glory, of which it is now deprived, but inany event the matter would have played a very minor purt. The ablest and most convincing speech made in opposition to the treaty was that of Senator Sherman, and no one who has read his clear and conclusive exposi- tion of the treaty can doubt that it was the duty of the senate to reject it. of dis- Thurman In the Field. The *“Old Roman” has buckled on his arwor and entered the arena of political controversy for the campaign,oraslong as his strength will permit him to re- main.

DI TR A AV AT KGR T T SR THE OfiAHA DAILY BEE: 'WEDNESDAY; AUGUST 22, 1888, worth asan {nstruotor of tha people in the democratic faith is wholly with respect to those doctrines and principles of the democracy which are purely political, and these are not cutting a very large figure in the present campaign., With regard to the chtef jssue before the people Mr. Thurman is not likely to make a great impression. He has never distinguished himself in the discussion of the fiscal policy of the government, and it is not to be expected that be will doso now. At any rate, there is nothing in the brief references he mado to the tariff question in his talk to the people on the route to T ledo aud in that city to warrant the be- lief that he will throw any new light on the subject. Most of what he said was not only very commonplace platitudes, but a great deal of it was execedingly weak., He may do better in the more e ate effort which he will make to-day at Port Huron. There was one thing said Thurman which was significant, It was this: ““I can tell you this, my friends, that if you want this old fellow to be your n sident you must go to work.” The democratic party of Ohio is not more apathetic and wanting in zeul and enthusiasm than is the party in most other states, and the exper- ienced old politician knows what this means, Looking out over the country he di that everywhere a heavy indiffe appears to have settled down on his party, and he under- stands that if this sort of thing continues much longer it will be impossible to recover lost ground, and the cause of the party will be hope- less. His injunction to go to work was not intended for Ohio democrats alon for they can do nothing except by way of example. Mr. Thurman very well knows that Ohio is as certain for the republican candidates as Mississippi is for the democratic. His counsel, there- fore, was of general application, and it indicates that the ablest democratic leader, and one of the most experienced, is not entirely satisfied with the situa- t1on, and does not view the future with unquestioning confidence. It will soon be shown whether M. Thurman can inspire any activity in his party and induce it to go to work. He has responded to the earnest call upon him to take the field, although undoubtedly he would have much preferred to remain at home. We shall sce whether the slogan of the £0ld Roman™ can arouse the democ from its lethargy and infuse some into the par If it cannot there be little use for others to make the effort. But Mr. Thurman himself must very greatly improve upon what he thus far done. Two Third Party Dilemmas. Miss Frances E. Willard, who for eight or ten years past has possessed a national reputation as un eloquent tem- perance lecturer, has gone to Maine to take part in the political canvass in progress in that state. If our memory serves us correctly the Maine liquor law W enacted during the winter of 1851—ovor thirty-seven years ago—evi- dently before Miss Willard was born. Now one of two things is true. Either Miss Willard is sincere in making her pilgrimage to Maine ovshe isnot. If she is sincere, then she must acknowl- edge that her presence in Maine essary; because, after thirty-seven years of experiment, prohibition in Maiue is still a failure, and it is neces- sary for her to go there and bolster it up. If Miss Willard is not sincere, she cannot ask self-respecting voters in Maine or elsewhere to listen to her harangues. For the benefit of our third party prohibition neighbors we put the same thing in another way. Either Miss Willard’s presence in Maine 15 necessary or it is not. If her presence is nece then it proves that after thirty-seven years of trial prohibition has proved a failure, and it is unfair for third party prohibitionists to ask right thinking people to support their cause. If, on the other hand, Miss Willard's presence in Maine is not necessary, then that shows that the third party is not making a sincere fight in Maine, or elsewhere; but isdoing the bidding of the democratic party to draw votes from the republicans, We have thus presented two dilemmas. Let our third party friends take either horn of either dilemma, and let us see how great is their consolation. M RANK HURD is excellent dem- ocratic authority on some things, and when he states that the democracy can- not carry New York this yesr one may feel sure that he has reached that con- cluslun only after most careful and con- ing investigation. We know of no democrat who would be more reluctant to make this statement than Mr. Hurd, and his doing so must be accepted as evidence that he has not the smallest doubt in the matter. In the opinion of this gentleman the only hope of the democracy is in capturing the electoral votes of some of the states of the northwest, and to that end Mr. Hurd will defend the tariff policy of the democracy in Michigan, Minnesota and Towa. If Mr.-Hurd is correct, and there is very good rveason for having confidence in his judgment, the demo- cratic outlook is very far from hopeful. Of course there is onl) the most remote possibility of the democracy carrying any northwestern state, and this will not be inereased by the confession that the party cannot carry New York., As the situation now appears, the only hope of the democracy is in some v bad blundering on the part of the re- publicuns, by Mr. covers ence s nee- Tue remarkable growth of business in Omaha for the year ending August 1, as compiled by Bradstreet, 18 em nently satisfactory.

Last year the :;:lluumli would havo moved heaven anfl éhrth to defoat Gov- ernor Larrabee inlowa for asecond term. The modt unrelenting and bit- terest opposition came from the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy road. They did succeed in cutting down Larrabee’s majority, but to cover up their dirty work they set up a howl that ‘‘prohib- ition was losing ground in Towa.” and that was the cause of Larrabee’s small majority. Tt is easy to see the hands of railroad magnates in political matters in Nebraska this year, All over the state their friends have been trying to dictate the action of primaries, and were it not that the people are on their guard the railroads would have things protty much their own way We Are asked by Pat Ford's organ on lower Douglas whether Tur B dares to charge that the colored vote of the Third ward was in the market when -elected councilman, This is her cool.

If it had been a grand ship, capable of testifying to the greatness of the American nation i the ports of the world, our laws would have classed it with counterfeit money and obscene literature and cast it into outer darkness. But being only an_aggregation of uncouth logs, it sails through the custom house with- out impediment. | e Badly Mixed Op, Kansas City,Journal. Tt was an open sderet @l last winter that Mr. Clevelund had’ madd a political mistake in his message. S?nm of his closest friends in New York were'out of humor with him, and it was confidently expected that the St Louis convention avould bridge over the blunder. But the indorsement of the Mills bill dispelled that hope. The situation be- cange so grave that the only recourse left was the letter of acceptance of Mr. and. But as his message is before the world, and as the St. Louis platform indorses not only the message, but the Mills bill, it is not clear now the letter of acceptance by way of cod cil can be made available without a repud tion of the message and platform both.
