MeShane debatin the issues of the day jointly on the sturp? Tuk union labor party of this district have nominated a gentleman by the name of Kdgerton as their candidate for congress, . Bdgerton will derive a great deal more glory than profit from this nomination, T reade must be getting v nut about ‘‘Hurrison’s one dollar a day for the workingmen.” It would be a rather cheap sort of a campaign ammu- nition even if there was anything in it. VERMONT came up smiling last Tues- day with an incrensed republican ma- jority, emphasizing Oregon's protest against free wool. This ought to so in- vigorate Mr. Edmunds as to enable him to take a hand in the national cam- paign. — AMONG the one hundred eminent Americans who have heen immortalized in the New York Metropolitan portrait gallery Nebraska has one vepresenta- tive—Buflalo Bill. John M. Thurston, Charles F. Manderson, Mrs, Colby and Jim Laird are overlooked LOOK out for an explosion at the next council meeting. The chairman of the judiciary committee is said to be very emphatically opposed to the enforce- ment of Chief Seavey’s order with r gard to men who carelessly live with women without taking the trouble to procure a mariage licens GENERAL HOVEY, the republican candidate for governor of Indiana, has kept the political pot boiling at a vigor- ous rate during the absence of General Harrvison, and has shown himself a good deal more than a match for the demagogue Matson. Trustworthy ad- vices continue to report that Indiana is all vight for the republicans, e THERE is very slight encouragement for the people in piling up bills in con- gress for the suppression of trusts and the punishment of those connected with them. One measure of this kind passed would be worth a hundred tucked away in the pigeon holes of committee rooms. The people are beginning” to distrust the sincerity of both parties in this mat- ter, — BARNUM'S show has taken about twenty thousand dollars out of Omaha, two thirds of which amount represents earnings of wage-workers. Would it not be eminently proper to put an em- bargo on the circus by . high license? A thousand dollar license might keep snide circuses out of Omaha, but a first- class show could well afford to pay that amount. —— TrE most offcnsive instance of “of- fensive partisanship” that has come within our limited scope is Chicf Seavey’s order to Captain Green with regard to promiscuous marriage and licentiousness among professional und business men. That order should at once be referved to the city attorney andthe chairman of the committce on judiciary. S—————— Tne city has been remarkably free from serious offenses against the law thus far during the present week. An influx of thieves and law-breakers was to have been expected, but they have either kept out or have found the field unfavorable, To the extent that this is due to the vigilance und efficiency of Omaha’s police force, which seems to have been excellently managed, it ghould receive full credit. SEE————— Mz. MAYNE is no longer a citizen of Omaha, having taken up his residence in fows. This oreates a vacancy in the bourd of public works which the mayor and council should fill without delay. At this time of the year, when opera- tions on public works are most acuive, it is of vital importance that no vacancy should exist in the board. It is to be hopad that the mayor will select a man of energy, ability and integrity, who will aceept the position not so much for the sake of the salary as for the interest he feels in securing a proper perform- ance of contracts on public works and an efticient supervision by inspectors of sewers, payvements and public buildings.

Onward, still on- ward! isnot a mere motto with Omaha, but aliving reality. continue: energy The commercial salesmen and their association deserve unstinted praise for making their first parade in Omaha a grand succes: Hill Will Siick. No paper in the country is perhaps any nearer the confidence of the presi- dent than the New York Herald, and, through its Washington representative, Mur. Charles Nordhoff, it has been per- sistently advising Governor Hill to withdraw as a candidate for renominn- tion, There is a quite general belief that if this counsel is not inspired from the white house it is fully approved there. No one doubts that Mr. Cleve- land would be glad to have Hill out of the way, but there are obvious reasons why he does not dare to make anv show of this desire for which he could be held responsible. Todo this would be tocer- tainly incur the hostility of thousands of New York democrats who are de- voted to Hill at whatever cost, and Mr. Cleveland knows that he cannot afford this. On the other hand toseem to tacitly acquiesce in nilowing Hill to con- tinue in the political arena is hurting the president with the independent allies of the democracy and a certain or limited classof democrats, which is any- thing but a pleasant experience at this time to Mr. Cleveland. In this dilemma Mpr. Nordhoff is permitted to reflect the desire of the president without involv- ing him. nothing being easier, whatever shall become of Hill, than to show that the Washington representative of the Hevald, who really directs its political opinions, is alone respousible for his advice regarding New York politics. Neither the friends of Mr, Cleveland nor the sunporters of Mr. Hill, how- ever, are deceived. But the advice, it is apparent, has had no effect upon Governor Hill, and is not likely to have. He is going to stay in the race, whether it pleases Mr, Cleveland or not. This is the assurance that comes from one of his most inti- mate friends and strongest supportors. claimed that theve is no hostility tever between the head of the na- tional democratic ticket and the leader of the New York democracy, and that the latter will be found at the proper time doing hig utmost for the success of the former. This is a matter of course if Mr. Hill shall again be a candidate. The New York democratic state con- vention will meet next Wednesday, and there is every reason to expeet that it will be one of the most interesting of the year, as it cannot fail to be one of the most important in 1ts results, At this time the democratic party of New York is not harmonious. That it will be so after its convention has acted is improbable. The outlook for the re- publicans in the pivotal state is far move favorable than it was at the correspond- ing date in the campaign of eight years ago. orn Wil be King. Veteran exporters on the New York produce ange say that 1t will be in our corn crop that the Kuropeun de- mand first shows itself in a marked de- gree, inasmuch as theve is a much more pressing necessity abroad just now for stable food than for housebold supplies, The Buropean hay crop has been lost, or at least so damaged as to be untit for use, and American corn and fodder will have to be taken speedily. There could be no more welcome in- formation for this section, and it will be especially reassuring to the farmers of Nebraska, who will have more corn to sell this year than usuval and can find good use for the increased price it is certain to bring, It looks very much now as if corn is to be king for least the ensuing year. The outleok is for dearver bread the world over, and this means a more extended use of corn meal in place of four. The wheat defieit in Kurope can havdly be supplied from the United States with the surplus now promised, and both for this reason and because of the inevitable increased cost of flour household supplies in most countries for the next year will contain a larger proportion than common of corn meal, This, with the enlarged de- mand for corn for stable food in Kurope, will doubtless make a sure market for all this country has to sell, and farmers who bave raised corn will tind a fair profit in their preduct. The better the corn the better the price and the surer the market., Herein Nebragica farmers will have the advan- tage if the favorable counditions hold out. Not only is there every probability that the corn crop in this state will be as large as ever before in its history, but of an average quality unsurpassed. All promises are wost flattering for the furmers,of Nepraska, and, therefove, for the gencral prospovity of eur people. —— Direct From Indiana. A prominent merchant of this ci bas just received a letter from a per-| RIDAY. sonal friend in Indiapapolis, who is a leading rapublican of long political ex- perience. which gives an excecdingly encouraging statement of the situation in Indiana. The letter snys: Siuns were never more flattering at this stage of the game than they are now for our carrying Indiana. There is great enthusiasm all over the state, aud a very considerablo number of democrats (heretofore) declaro their intention to vote for Harrison. Our party is united, and every faction is satisfied. The labor vote is, as it alwi is, di- vided, and while some democrats within some of the labor organizations are trying to make it appear that the labor vote is opposed on, they have not succeeded in do- iything. The soldier vote is almost solid, 80 far as we can find out. The prohi bition vote is aa unknown quantity, and will mostly from the republicans. Utiless hing unforeseen shall happen, we are as sure of Indiana as we were in 1530, Our state is vary close, and out of 525,000 votes there are perhaps fifty thousand floaters, the majority either way being from one to five and six thousand, but we are woing to “‘get there, B1i.” Tdo not write for brag, and would not purposely deceive you. This is my candid opinion, gained by information from various sources and from our state cen- tral committee, There can be no doubt that this is an entirely fair and candid statement of the situation in Indiana, as it is forti- fied by other information equally trust- worthy. It is entirely reasonable to ex- pect that Indiana will cast its vote for General Harrison, and we do not sup- pose that any intelligent democrat sevi- ously believes that his party will carry that state. Nowhere are the conditions favorable to republican success stronger than in Indiana. com THE report that the general manager of the Manitoba road is to supplant General Manager Stone of the Burling- ton, und the incredulity with which the statement is received in certain railroad cireles, tends to inerense uncertainty in a matter in which the public is very greatly interested. It is noteworthy, however, that any report promising the retirement of Mr. Stone is received with gratification, a fact which ought to make a strong impression on the stock- holders and directors of the Q system. They ought to see that the restora- tion of their road o the confidence of the public will be a difficult and pro- longed task with a manager who has involved the road in an inter- minable conflict with the Brotherhood of Lnginec So long as this conflict lasts the traffic of the road will suffer, and public safety is constantly in dan- ger. To restore the road to its former prosperity demands a revival of confi- dence, and that never can be restored as long as Mr. Stone remains the head of its operating department. It 1s said that an emissary of the British government has been for months past hobnobbing with our naval officers at Washington, his object being to obtain a knowledge of the construc- tion of the new torpedoes which it is in- tended to use for harbor defense. It leaked out a few days ago that he had succeeded in obtaining the drawings of all torpedoes and the appliances for their use from the patent office, and sent them, with all other information he had acquired, to the war office at London. It is feared that he knows all the secrets of the American torpedo system, and the war department is said to be “all torn up.” In ome way and another KEngland seems to be doing quite weli at Washington. — It 18 demonstrated that people will come to Omaha whenever the attra tious are such as will draw them here. Once u year at least the metropolis of Nebraska can depend upon entertaining from fifty to one hundred thousand strangers if there is something special offered worthy of their attention. Tvery intelligent business man must appreciate the importance to the city and to his own interests of such an in- flux of non-residents as we are having this week. Before unother year rolls round there should be a thoroughly or- wanized effort to provide attractions that at least once a year will make Omaha a mecea for aconsiderable pro- portion of Nebraska’s population. Tie United States senate without a Deleware Suulsbury might be just as useful, but would it be quite so intevest- ing? This name has figured on the senate roll for we do not know how many rations, and there were times when it was both famous and notorious. But it is doomead to disappear. Saulsbury of Delawere will not be re-elected. Mr. Bayard, knowing the uncertainty of polities, has so arranged matters in his littl te that in the event of demo- cratie defeat in the national election he can return to a seat in the senate, and in any event can dictate a successor to Saulsbury. The veteran legislator has had a long lease, and is old enough to be retired from active se — ONE of the most extensive millers in Minnesota, who has just veturned from a tour of Kurope, says that only a per: sonal observer can appreciate the terr ble ravages that the cold weather, rains and lat on have made on European tarms. Not only in Great Britain, but on Yhe continent generally, according to this testimony, every crop practically is a failure, and Europe will be depend- ent upon the United States as she seldom if ever has been before for her food supplies. NOTWITHSTANDING prohibition and enforced morality, Council Bluffs is gaining quite a reputation as a sporting center, The latest is a brutal prize fight at early dawn on the viver front, within sight of the new bridge, which, it such sports become fashionable, is a safe and convenient place for spectators, The deported Omaha gamblers are also flourishing acress the viver, within reach of sporting people on this side, and out of reach of Omaha’s chief of police.

Assurances That it Will Be An Un- paralelled Sucoess, A DISPLAY OF UNUSUAL MERIT, Nearly Five Thousand Entries in the Various Departments Alveady Made—The Freight Re- duction Trial, 1020 P StREET, LaxcoLy, Sept. 6, The fair work attending ‘‘preparation days" is well under way. Final disposition of the entries for the great Nebraska exposi- tion will be made Friday and Saturday, and Monday morning at 8 o'clock the doors will be formally thrown open. The fact that the exposition is 1o be pre-eminently a Nebraska show guarantees an unusually large attend- ance and a tireless intorest, At no time since the rocognized prominence of Nebraska as an agricultural state has the general crop been better than this year. From garden to field the crops have been munificent. Generally the year has been one of prosperity, and farmers as well as mechanics fecl thamselves able to contribute items of interest aad to spend the weck, or a on of it, in swelling the magnificence of ttendance, The conditions for success are all promising, and failure would be next to an impossibility. The mammoth pumpkin and squash will come m for a just sharo of admiration. _Side by side with them will be found the whole vegetabl world_looking good enough to dissection and preparation by famous housewives. The luscious melon ¢ be admired at a distance. Fruits rivaling the productions of California and Oregon i beauty, size and symmetry, and vastly superior in flavor, will tempt the small boy and cause the mouths of Adam's oider sons and daughters to water. King corn in his finest samplos will glisteu as gold in the sun- light, and wheat, rye, oats and barley, matchless in_quality, will form no small at- traction of the agricultural products on ex- hibition. _The glories of Nebraska's soil will be displayed. Nothing is forgotten. The gold mines of the state have all been piucked. Lovers of the horse will find abundant op- portunity to admire him in his matchless beauty. Draft and roadsters will be on ex- hibition. ~ Norman, English Draft, Perch eron and Clyde, with their wonderful muscular _development, will furnish all the points necessary for intolligent discussion of the superiority of draft horse strains. The Morgan and Messenger will present their claims for superiority s general rondsters, while the Hambletonian family will stand grandly alono as the high- est uud best type for speed. Imports from the priucipal Buropean countries will contest for premiums, and some of the best known breeders of this country will be at the stalls to present the claims of their favorites, The arrungements for the exhibition of the horse, the king of domestic ammals, could not be better. The cattle display will also be fine, ‘The very best strains of blood will be on ex- hibition. And, moreover, the prominence of Nebraska bred cattle will be manifest, From Jersey to Polled Angus, single and in herds, the farmer and stock raiser will have an op- portunity, such as is ravely offered, to make comparisons and form safé and sensible con- clusions as to wiich strain of blood is the better for general utility, The Holstein and Durbam families must not be forgotten. They may prove something more than the happy mean, the presumption of extremes having been given. The Jersey 18 known to be the “little milker,” while the Polled Angus rank way up as beel producers, The hog, the heir apparent to king corn, must not be lost sight of.

From needle work to the culinary arts you will find the impress of their hands manifest, And then, remember, the great inventious of the age can be seen oun every hand, all com- manding homage and respect. The old sickle is brought to mind_and you see the magnificent reaper in its stead. Every- thing used on the farm during the sceding and harvesting time, artistically painted and decorated, will invite your inspection, Such acollection is rarely ever seen more than once in a life time.

The state board of trausportation met at the capitol this morning at 10 o'clock, us per ad- journment. 1t will be remembered that to- day was set apart for the hearing on the freight reduction order. Attorneys Jonn M. Thurston, W. R. Kelly, John M. Kagan, John B. Hawley and F. M.'Hall were prescat to look after the interests of their respective ds. The morning hours were spent in ling the answers of the different roads. It py job, und judging from the list- ntior. given Clerk Waring as he passed in s reading from page to puge of the voluminous documents, one would judge that the wiole business had been learned in detail by the partics inter- ested, and that it was done to be formal or to kill time. 13ut Waring carned his duner. When this part of the programme was throughia recess was taken until 2 o'clock. The Doard came stragzling in about the hour set for the afternoon session, but it was well nigh 3 o'clock when business began to grind. Secretary Munger suggested that if the ccunsel for any of the roads had any thing to say on the question of jurisdiction it had better be said during the settlement of preliminaries, General Luse concurred. But 1t did not seew to suit Judge Thurston and he said so, “If we are gomg into a trial,” said he, ‘tall questions of law ought heard at the close.” The blinking of his sociites signified that they thought that his point had been well talken, and it was finally decided that thus it should be, “Hut,” again said Tourston, *does the board' intend that the defendants shall become the plaintifts in this hearing.”’ *Certainly, suid Leese; ““when the order went out and the service was made you were called into court, to show reasons why freight tariffs should not be reduced.’” An impressive silence followed the statement of the at- torney general, and blinking was the order for full five minutes The remonstrances were than taken up and carefully read.

Temple Bar: Noone was in a hurry. The very beggars had alazy whine. The shop-keepers mostly stood at their doors, listlessly chewing the stalk of some flower or staving before them with lack-lustre eyes, while humminga tune, nobly indifferent to business. There was one curiosity shop that it was difti- cult to pass, fsoferammed were its win- dows with ¢ ivory and carved oank, with brass and bronze tortured into atiful and grotesque, with olica wace and Japan porce- lain, missals gorgeous with color, cobweb laces yellowed by ago and ancient weapons and books and other relics of the past. But here, too, the venerable ownerof these treasures, with horn-rimmed spectucies to assist the bleared eyes, sat in a high-backed, fiftcenth century chair, poring over a tome which probably printed at a imilar date, and scarcely deigned to glance at the stranger who was inspect- ing his stock in trade. It was delight- ful to mark the indolent enjoyment of the red-shirted boatman who lay lan- guidly smoking on the raised poop of the gaudy barges which lay moored here and there on the wide canals, the quays of which were shaded by lime trees, amid the rustling leaves of which the bees hummed noisily. It was hard to believe that this was the bustling, feverish, nineteenth century, and that our own insular Babylon was but a few hours’ journey from the drowsy town. however. I found myself in a street wider than the rest, along which puinted country wagons. full of lace- capped and kerchiefed maids and ma rons. of brass cans, baskets and enpty crates, were jolting ana rattling with thunderous din over stones, drawn by sleel, wild-looking horses, which med to wear the minimum of harness and the maximum of bells, and which pranced and snovted in their exultant strength. These belonged evidently to well-to-do peasants, who had sold their poultry and their tame rabbits, their butter and general dairy produce, and were now returning to the far-off farms where they dwelt, among the polders, and the willows, and wind-mills, and i('lt meadows, grazed by red and white ine. ITES, e Von Moitke. Blakely Hall in New York Sun: But one of the most notable of the wonder- ful old men of Germany is Von Moltke. We could learn alesson or two from the Germans concerning the value of men. In the United Statesaman is shelved at seventy. When he has reached that age in the German em- pire it is assumed that his faculties R e T T develop- ment, and that his wisdom will then be of the highest value to the state. At all events, he is lifted to power and im- portance, and the reins of government lie in his hands to the very last. Al- though Von Moltke isnearly eighty- four years of age, he 1sasactive as though but forty.

He smiled with invariable good nature at the erowd, and oceasionally stopped to kiss the ruddy cheek of a child if its mother pushed it forward for the honor.

Like the sturdy old Bismarck, Blumenthal and the rest of those won- derful old men, Von Moltke rises at 7 in the morning, retires early at night, sleeps on a hard camp bedstead, eats lit- tle and drinks less, 'This military reg men undoubtedly has much to do with the amazing vigor which they all show.
