GOVERNOR TIIAYER'S challenge to MecShane has been politely declined. This will surprise nobody. MeShane would not meet Governor Thayer in public debate if he could, and could not debate with him if he would IF memory serves us, there were two contracts between Omaha and the Union Pacific. The more important one was held by the late Fzra Millard, one of the committee that negotiated it with Durant, Duff and Dillon. It is this particular contract that has turned up missing. S '0SE that the Union Pacific fund- ing bill fails to pass the present con- gress, as it did the last, and is again defeated in the next congress? Does Mr. Adams propose to hold back the unew depot and union transfer for the next four y: Or, is the Union Pacific going to repudiate its contract obligations to this ecity altogether be- eause they have become “‘ancient his- tory™ by 1ts own lack of good faith? IT has Yeaked out clearly that theve is a close combine among paving contract- ers in this city with perhaps one single axception. That accounts for the pres- sure which one set of contractors brought 40 bear on the board of public works in fayor of their pretended comvetitors, As long as this state of affairs continues there is little prospeet of getting honest work done 1n the pavisg and sewerage lines. TiE most enthusiastic supporters of Cleveland in New York are among the dry goods dealers, who have formed a special club and are working like beavers for the democratic party. At all their meetings the attendance is so large that the hall is filled and there is a erowd upoa the stair ways and a side- walk delegation upon the pavement. The secret of this energy is that they are free traders to & man. The demo- eratic party may not mean free trade, putall free traders believe they do. —_———— T railroad problem starts up in the most unexpected places. The Califor- nians of San Francisco are complaining that the Canadian Pacific line is rob- bing them of considerable trade. For- merly the flour of Oregon came to San Francisco and was shipped to Hong Kong by the Paeific Mail steamships, Now the Canadian Pacitic gets it all and ships it to China by a Puget Sound ateamer line. And it even appears that foom the northern countiesof Californ goods can be shipped to eastern poiuts chenper by this British line than by the Northern Pacifie or the latest connects ing link of the Central Pacitic. Must the inter-state commerce bill be supple- mented by an international clause? or will the remedy be the aunexation of the British Amervican possessions from the Canadian shore in the east to the furthest shoves of the west? The Brit- lsh Columbians, men say, are uot un- willing. The Chasm Widening. The disaffection in the ranks of the Now York democracy is o fact as well defined as any other in the political situation, und the evidences multiply which show that the chasm between the cland and Hill factions i3 steadily widening, This is due to the fuct that the president has given not a single in- timation that he is favorable to the re- election of the governor. The friends of Hill gave assurance that if renomi- nated he would lahor vigorously for the national ticket, Tt was also said that a satisfactory understanding had been reached between Cleveland and Hill, which would enable the sup- porters of both to harmonize. The promise of the governor's supporters hus thus far been kept. Hill has spoken freely and fulsomely in behalf of the president, and has agreed to aid the canvoss in other states besides New York. But on the part of Mr. Cleve- land there has been no action, and no intimation of a purpose to in the least degree reciprocate the friendly conduct of Governor Hiil. 1If he desires the governor’s re-clection ho has thus far failed to manifest it, and if there was ever a satisfactory understanding be- tween the two it is evidently known only to themselves. The Hill men are showing a very bit- ter feeling in consequence of the fai ure of Mr. Cleveland to do what they vegard as a sacred duty both to the party and to the governor. They look upon his silence as utterly selfish and utterly ungrateful. They feel that in order to retain the mugwump vote Cleveland is prepared to see Hill s ficed. They see mo reason why tho president may not now write a letter in behalf of the governor with as much propricty us he did in behalf of Prose- cuting Attorney Fellows in the last New York city election, and they have de- manded that he shall give them this evidence of his friendliness to Hill and this help to tho party. Meantime there are reports of anti-Cleveland and anti- Hill organizations among the democ- racy, of schemes for trading, and of threatenings of kuifing by each faction. The dilemma in which Mr.Cleveland is placed by this state of affairs is appar- ent. If he endorse Hill he will lose a part, and perhaps a large part, of the independent vote, with probably a con- siderable number of the democrats who are opposed to the governor. If he do not endorse him he will almost cer- tainly not get the votes of thousands of the devoted followers of Hill. Tt isim- possible to say in which direction the loss to Mr. Cleveland would be the greater, and doubtless this uncertainty is perplexing the president not a lit- tle. But would a man entirely loyal to his party and his political obligations, rather than chiefly con- cerned for himself, long permit amatter of this sort to perplex him? Seeing dis- affection in the ranks of his party would he not make a brave and maniy effort 1o harmonize the party, even though he shonld appear to thereby hazard his own political fortunes by d ng from himself an element the full value of which cannot be determined, and which has proved to be a somewhat trouble- some and disturbing influence in the democrati uncils of New York? But Mr. Cleveland is chielly concerned for himself, and whatever he shall do or omit to do will be due to his conviction that thereby he will best promote his own interests. Mr. Cleveland is using the democratic party; he does not interid that it shall use him. His concern for it begins and ends with the ambition to secure a second term in the presidency. Meantime the demo- cratic situation in New York appears to grow daily more desperate and the difli- culties in the way of improving it steadily increase. —— A Campafgn Canard. Among the statements for campaign purposes sent out from democratic sources is one to the effect that the oast- ern manufacturers arve endeavoring to make republican votes by intimidating their employes. A New York paper pro- fesses to have received from many quar- ters reports that this is being done, and it concludes that ‘‘there is a deliberate effort making to carry this year’s elec- tion by the wholesale intimidation of workingmen at the hands of their em-« ployers.” According to this authority the method adopted is to tell working- men that if Cleveland iselected by their votes they will be punished by the clos- ing of the shops. Of course if anything of this sort s being done by employers anywhere no language reprehending it could be too severe. Intimidation of voters, by whomsoever practiced and upon whom- soever, is a wrong to be condemned at all times and under all circumstances. The right of every citizen to cast his vote according to his convictions of duty should in no case be interfered with, whether such citizen bethe white worker in a northern ctory or the black laborer on a southern plantation. But we are compelled to regard as wholly absurd the statement that there is any general and systematic intimida- tion of workingmen in the east. No employer of fair intelligence having a business of any importance would ap- proach employes capable of forming a judgment of how they should vote with a threatof closing his mill or shop if they did not vote the way he thought best, It is not improbable that some employers have said to their workmen that there is danger of having to suse pend business if the tariff policy of the democratic party should prevail, but whatever may be thoughtof the wisdom of such an opinion it will not be said that its expression is not legitimate. Tt is a veflection on the iutelligence of both employers and employed to suppose that any such method of intimidation as that cited would be generally adopted by the one or have any general effect upow the other. How many intelligent workingmen are there in the east or elsewhere who would net see the absurdity of the threat to close the shops in which they worked in the event of their voting the democratie ticket,and how many em- ployers would put themselves 1o such & ridiculous attitude before their em- ployes, with the certainty of exposure? That there are manufacturers who are using their influence by srgument aud \ appeal to induce their voting employes to voto the republican ticket, may be granted, but there is no intimidation in this, and we venture to say there could not be found in the entire east o dozen instances of employers who have gono beyond this. Another thing, the supporters of the Mills bill have claimed that most of the manufacturers in the woolen industry and some in other in- dustries approved that measure. Are these democratic manufacturers using 1o influence with their employes in be- half of their party? If the workingmen of the east are at all like those of the west they are doing their own thinking this year, and will very gencrally do theirown voting. The intimidation charge is the weakest yet sent out to a country already surfeited with democratic cangvds, Omaha's Position Talk about the embargo laid upon Nebraska roads by the state board of transportation! It is all moonshine. The board is a dead-letter, and the rail- road managers know as well as we do that a majority of its members ave their abject creatures. They merely keep up the farce of schedule-making and rate-reduction. General TLeese and Treasurer Willard are in the minority whenever it comes to reduction of rates, The next board will be no better. The railroads have made suve of their majority and entertain no tear of serious interference with their methods of doing business. The pretense that railrond building has been stopped in Nebraska by reason of the threatened reduction of railroad earnings is all for effect on the dupes who are to be used in the present cam- paign to support railroad candidates for the legislature. It is the samo old game played so many times on timid Omaha business men and people who want a subterfuge for selling out the material interests of this city and state. These are stubborn fac s of Lincoln, who have no such capital behind their backs as the business men of Omaha, have abandoned the time-serving policy. = They have quit paying tribute and boldly assume tho aggressive. Their leading mer- chants have forced the issue and turned their political power to some account. Instead of cringing and whining for what they believe to be their rights they demand fair play, fnd back their mandate with all the influence at their command. Their candidates for the legislature are selected with one view only, and that is to secure concessions and appropriations for Lincoln. Contrast that position with the lack of solf assertion on the part of Omaha and her mereantile and manufacturing clagses. Omaha, with her senator and congressman, with her twelve members 1 the legislature, her millions of hanl- ing capital, and millions of jobbing and manufacturing patronage, volun- tarly surrenders all her political power to be used against her own interest and for the spec service of the giant cor- poration, which has repudiated its sacred obligations to Omaha and re- tarded hor growth and prosperity by the most selfish and short-sighted pol- icy. Is it nov about time for Omaha to wake up and serve notice on the Union Pacific that she will no longer remain amere hewer of wood and drawer of water, politicaliy and commercialiy, for that company. —_— The Sunday Bee, axtra effort has been put forth in the paration of special features for THE SUNDAY BEeE.

In all its departments, THE SUNDAY BEE will be pre-eminently a newspaper. p THERE was placed on file at the re- corder’s office in Council Bluffs vecently five bills of sale aggregating three hundred and forty thousand dollars. They represented the transfer in owner- ship of locomotives and cars from the Union Pacific to various trust companies east, They are in reality mortgages on certain rolling stock owned by the Union Pacific. But mark the subter- fuge. When the tax asses.orin lowa comes to make his assessment, he will be shown these bills of sale. He cannot assess this rolling stock because it will be claimed that it is not owned by, but leased to the Union Pa- eifie. When the tax assessors east come to the Roger locomotive company, to the Michigan car works and to the Pullman company, they will be told that this same rolling stockk has only been mortgaged to them., Hundreds of thousands of dollars of property an- nually escape taxation by this sort of trickery. Tax shirking is an evil which must be met by radical legislation. WESTERN dressed beef has gradually taken the place of the domestic article in the east. The prejudice which once existed is now gone since consumers have found that beef dressed in the west. is of better quality and of lower price than the home product. In the past few years the beef packing indus- try of the west has grown to great pro- portions. It is likely to supply the whole country within a few years, since a better grade of cattle can be slaughts ered in the great corn belt of the Mis- souri valley and laid down fresh in every city at a nominal price, Other Lands Than Ours, The message of President Diaz to the Mex- ican congress takes au encouraging view of the future of the country. He congratulates the people upon the continuance of domestic peace and upon the signs of increasing indus- trial and commercial prosperity, recounts the rapid extensiou of the different ruilroad sys. tems, speaks of the enlarged postofiice facilities and the inereasing postal revenues, and narrates the progress of the common schools.

Tho sensation aid the situation produced by the publication of thoso remarkable ex tracts from the dury of the late Emperor Frederick grow more and more interesting The latest dispatches state that Bismarck has threatened to rosign because Emperor William disapproves tho idea of criminally prosecuting Prof. Geffeken, who gave the diary for publication, and also was disploascd with the chancellor’s report on the affair. This has been Bismarck's way of forcing an acceptance of his policy, and it remains to bo seen whether it will be so effective with the prescnt emperor as with his father and grandfather. In the meanwhile it must be admitted that the chancellor has been hard hit. A dis tinct shirinkage has taken place in his dimen- sions, and he is no longer the unapprouchi- ble Jove of Buropean poiitics. He seems to be painfully conscions of the circumstances, and is talking and acting in & manner far from being marked by his wonted shrewd ness, and which can ouly malre matters worse, For once the man of blood and iron seems to have lost his head. .. Melbovrne has been @ gratifying success, which scems to be due to the Australian fondness for such things a8 much as to the intrmsic oxcellence of the display.

Thers is colossal semicircular archway springing from the capitals of six Corinthian columns, and the voussoirs are pancled with dovioos representing all the states of the union. The koystone is i enormous golden cagle, which is flanked by flasstaffs with the national banner. At the doorway of the United States commissioner's office is a pretty well dressed negro, whose name is Washington, but, strange to say, not Georgo, and he ushers all visitors to Mr. McCoppin with a cheerful alacrity which has made him ouo of the fea- tures of the place. Mr. McCoppin, the com- missioner, received cousiderable cfiticism for the backward state of the court, which was the very last to be completed, but he hus won golden opinions by the zeal with wh he has cspoused the interests of all the hibitors and the good taste he has shown in general arrangoment and decoration 1t would have been thought that ¢ being on the thrgshold of the ocean highway to Australia,would paralyze all other Ameri- can exhibitors by the comploteness of her displays, but this Has not proved to be the case. The palm of excellence by common consent has been awarded to the tobaceo cx- hibits from Virginia, and theso have oxcited real enthus auong the antinodians of Australia. Indeed, the display is so thorough and 8o unique, and in some particulars so amusing, that many’ visitors considor it to be the best in the whole exhibition. Besides a thorough showing of tobacco of every variety displayed in a bilsiness hike way, the an infinity of objects formed out of cig and plugs of, James river cavendish and natural leaf, and these tickle the Australlansto the last degrec. Tn one place is a Gatling gun formed of cigars and cigarettes, in another a star of leaf tobacco, in a third there is a gigantic pair of shears formed of plugs. There is also a large-sized model of a tobaceo factory and a magnificent case made of mahogany and silver-plated metal filled with smoking and chewing to- baccos of many brands put up in paper of the most gorgeous coloring and startling de- signs as trade marks. California has dis- tinguished itself by a piano with an attach- ment for tuning, and by some very fine furniture, but the Australians are laughing at the enterprise of a San Francisco real estate dealer, who makes a display of maps of various sizes and tons of pamphlets about California and its golden climate. Australia is hardly an emigrating country. e The departure of the German expedition for tho relief of Emin Bey has been delayed until the rising of the natives in East Africa is quelled. Such is the information tele- graphed recently in Berlin, and no doubt will be entertained of its accuracy, seeing that the route of the relief expedition was through Zanzibar., Two and two make four, What the telegram does not tell us is the time in whick. the doughty Bismarck pro- poses to quell a rising with which American patriots must sympatiize, and which appears to be general throughout Central Africa, *e Much as we admire and fraternally as we regard the German race, we are disposad to sympathize with the people of Zanzibar who are driving Gorman colonists from their lands. These Zanzibarians are by no means savages, but, on the contrary, boastof a strong infusion of Arab blood in their veins, and have acivilization of their own which has its merits. No treaty with the sultan of Zanzibar can possibly confer any rights of sottlement oni the (iermans, for, though the sultan theoretically owns everything, includ- ing the land, it is as a trusteo for the people. This trusteeship is not a part of the sultan- ship, which is purely military, but bolongs to the religious title of Imaum. All the Arabic tribes aro intensely patriotic and care very little for their rulers, who, in most cases, combine religious and military authority to very little purpose. It is about time that this grab game in Africa should be stopped - It is inconceivable that a government so strong as that of Russia should stoop to the vexations of the passport system, The news comes that so far from relaxing theironerous rules they have added others, some of them directed squarcly against the Jows, not only those who are of Russian nationality, but against men of the race, whatever their land. ‘What is the secret of this Slavonic hatred against the Jews?

This decision is aimed against the Italian laborers who tramp over the Alps and find work as railroad laborers, and as stonecutters.

The Irench evidently ace cept the formula that the work of a country belongs to the workmen of that country, and that 18, in fact, the basis of the social com- pact, and the only reasonable ground on which a state can claim a citizen as a soldier for its defense from wvasion or for the pre. sarvation of order. »%s Since the telegram from Italy of the seri- ous illness of King Humberto there hus been no more mews, and tho world of politi- ciana has been stranded. But we are not lefs :n doubt of the constantly increas- ing popularity of Pope Leo, nor has Pope Leo evar faltered for & mement in bis declar- ation that tho rostoration of his temporal power is the consideration ever bofora his eyes in mundane matters, Private letters say that the pope considers it his solemn duty eitherto obtain the patrimony of Peter asitis currently termed, or to withdraw from Italy.

Send in twenty and twenty-five lofs. Send anything except German.” “Can you send us 150 men at once? Trish unless you know them.” Some of the employment agencies on the east side receive lettors and tele- grams like tho above every day. Some iden of the magnitude of the business may be gained from the fact that last year this agency supplied )0 men to applicants for unskilled lahorers. Thus far this scuson it has suppliea 1,500 men. “I have little trouble in getting men,” said the manager the other day “[ make it a rule to get my orders first and then advertise for the men. Tam kkept pretty busy as you may soe from these lette nd telegrams. I will send forty Italians to the Hurley mines on Monday and Tuesday. Twenty-six go out to-night to two different places in the northern part of the state.” ““What wages dosuch men command “Well,"day laborers get $1.75 wheel serapers and graders got $1.75 a day, while in railroad work from 16 to 20 cents a cubic foot is paid for what is called station work, and the men usually put in long hours on it. I think they average from twenty-eight to thirty feet a day. One dollar a cord is paid for eiitting wood. Swedes always prefer picce work, and they will do an astonishing amount of work in a day. Sometimes they begin their labors be- fore daylight. ~There is a great differ- ence in the manner of the various na- tionalitics among laborers. Take the Italians, for instance; they invariably goin gangs. One is always looked up toas a leader and he is expected to do all correspondence, arrange for trans- ion and so forth.
