As A whole the candidates nominated at the republican primaries for council- men ave aceeptable men. There ave a few, however,whose records need consid- eruble serutiny before they can pass muster. A GREAT many democrats were syr- prised when they found they could not vote at the republican primaries. But it is safe to say that no man’s vote was questioned at certain democratic ward primaries. ———— T tenth census, which has been in proparation since 1850, is announced as completed. This will be joyous news to the book worm, who has now an op- portunity to bore his way through nine- teen thousand pages of figures. T Sixth ward will be vepresented in tho council by Mr. W. G. Shriver, whose character and reputation are a guaranty of good behavior. M. Shriver isa successful business man,and has shown himself to be above reproach and thoroughly trust worthy. Ir 15 quite evident that onc of the warring street car companies proposes to carry on a long struggle over the oc- cupation of lower Douglas street. It has seen fit to reject the proposition of the court which ordered a joint occu- pation of the stract.

The luws of Nebraska oxplicit on the point, and it is high time that the present froe and eusy election methods come 1o a full stop. EpGcAr P. DAvis, who has been rominated to vepresent the Ninth ward in the council, is entitled to the sup- port of all republicans, Whatever may have been the differences between the competing factions of that ward, there is no reason why the vepublican vote should not unite on Mr, Davis, because heis known to be a strictly honorable and reliable man, Jor REDMAN, on his Jefforson square hobby, rode into the counciimanic nomination in the Fifth ward.

Tk improved palace vs for the transportation of live stock; the cold storage system of handling dressed beef in transit; the huge abattoirs and scien- tific methods of dressing cattle and hogs are nll evidences of the progress made in the meat packing industry. It stands to reason that all this care is taken to insure the cleanliness and healthfulness of packing house products. 1o fact these precautions are necessary for the life of the business. Improv aents, morcover, will continue to be made, When it is remembered that fully two-thirds of the people of this country are supplied through the pack- jng houses with no evidence of evil effeots, it must be conceded that the ment from this source is whelesome. The hue and cry, therefore, of the New York butchers and the meat deaiers of leading eastern cities that packing house meats ave unwholsome is utterly baseless, THANKSGIVING. The recurrence of Thanksgiving Day brings with it the same moral that has €0 often been presented, and calls up the familinr sentiments that are natur- ally inspired by the occasion. In the light of its history, which we have al- ready given, and by virtue of its ttle, understands the meaning and purpose of the day It is an ocen- n of giving thanks, of gladness, and of feasting. The original character of the day has been somewhat changed, and perhaps for the better. It is now an occasion of heartier en- joyment and more soulful grati- tude than at firet. We are under the restraints and repressions of the men who inaugurated this observance. We have progressed to freer and more li 1 ideas, and king is not earnost everybody our tha less becauso less constrained, not less sincere hecause less formal, not less acceptable, we venture to think, be- cause fuller of merviment and gladness than of old, The observance of a day of thanks- iving by sixty millions of self-gov- erned poople, in acknowledment of their dependence upon a higher power and in attestation of their gratitude to thay power, is rich in suggestion. It is especially hon- orable to a people whom the world credits with being move practical and material in their sentiments and aims than any other. As to the incent- ives to thanksgiving, surely no people have greater than those of this most favored land. Secure in their free in- stitutions, av px with the world, blessed with an abundance of the neces- sariesof life, moving steadily onward in the path of progress and prosperity, and setting before the world the grand- est example in history of what a free people caun accomplish, we have every reagon for national thanksgiving. The invitation of to-day is not alone to the enjoyment of what we have, but to such kindly oflices as will contribute to the enjoyment and incite the thank- fulness of the less fortunate. It is an oceasion for the exercise of a generous philanthropy, the practice of which is always helpful to onc’s own enjoyment We trust that every reader of THE BEE has reason to be in* full sympathy with the spicit of this peculiarly American holiday. SETTLE DOWN T0 BUSINESS. The anxiety which the southern peo- ple are manifesting regarding the policy of the next administration is unwar vanted and foolish. Nothing which General Harrison said during the cam- paign, nothing in his previous record, and nothing that has emanated from ponsible source in the republi- can party justifies the apprehension which apparently prevails at the south that the next administration will visit some peculiar and severe political hard- ship on that section. Still the news- papers of the south are daily filled with forebodings, and under the pressure of nxiety and fear General Har- rison has been called upon to define his position on the “southern question.” In this, as in all other respects, he has shown a wise discretion, going only so far as to reas- sure the people of the south that what- ever policy is pursued by the new ad- ministration will have regard for their nterests in common with those of other sections—in a word, that vhe policy will be national, not sectional. Inhis letter to the editor of a paper in Greenviile, South Carolina, General Harrison said: “When the surprise and disappoint- ment which some of your people have felt over the result has passed away, and they give some calm thought to the situation, I think they will be as much surprised as I am that they should, in thought or speech, 1mpute to me an un- friendliness toward the south. The pol- icies in legislation advised by the repub- lican party, I believe, are wholesome for the whole country, and if those who, in their hearts, believe with us upon these questions, would act with us, some other questions that give you local concern would settle themselve: Could thero be anything said more re- assuring than this? What the southern People are evi- dently very much in need of just now 1s calm thought. They were rather move than surprised and disappointed the vesult of the election—they were exasperated. heir confidence in democratic was absolute, and upon this they had founded the cheerful expectation of still more completely dom- inating national affairs in the future, Having their faith and their hopes shattered by defeat, and being conscious of their politieal shortcomings, it is natural that they should be filled with the feur of a retribution which they know to be deserved. But the republi- can party and its distinguished leader have nolldea of retribution. They will have nopoliey for the south that shall not apply equally to the east and to the west, ‘“The policies in legislation ad- vised by the republican party T helieve are wholesome for the whole country,” suys General Harrison,and he can be depended upon, if his past record and his late utterances furnish authority for judging, not to favor any policy that is not national in its scopo and application. It will be for the southern people to determine whether they are willing to accept poli- cies in the results of which they must share in common with the people of other sections—in a word, whether they will remain sectional and obdurate, or submit to what the majority of the peo- ple, as now represented by the repub- lican party, believe to be wise, just aud necessary to the integrity and per- petuity of American institutions. Tt would be well if the people of the south could, in the most liberal sense, settle down to business. Their atten- tion to politics, to the exclusion of prac- tical affairs, has always been a draw - back to them, and if they go on for the next four years giving themselves endless solicitude about political affairs the effect must be damaging to their material affaivs. Their wise course will be to let the former entirely alone, so far as national matters are concerned, and give themselves up wholly to the latter. In this way they will inspire confidence and assist their prosperity. The south has made notable progress in ove suceess THE OMAHA DAILY the last fow yoars, Tn portions of that section therc has been great devolop- ment. Most of the southorn states possess almost boundless resources, which when utilized will bring great wealth and commercial power to those states, How much better for the people to bend all their encrgies to making these available than to keep themselves in a fever of political anxiety to the neglect of practical concerns. Never was there a time when the well-remem- bered advice of the Michigan cong! man to the people of the south was move opportune than now, Let them devote the next four 3 to and they may vest assured that the republi- can party will manage the affairs of the nation without doing them any injus- tice, but vather in such a way that the will receive their full of the re- sultant benelits. Tie conntry will heartily welcome the confirmation of the report that President-elect Harrison desires Sen- ator Sherman to accept the position of secretary of state, and that the senator is disposed to do so. It is in the line of business, shar precedant to offer this cabinet office to Senator Sherman who was the leading candidate in the national convention, but there has bean a question whethor Mr. Sherman would care to assume diplomatic duties, his public eareer hav- ing lod him for the most part in another divection. TIe is by no means unfamil- iar with our foreign relations, however, having long served on the senate committee on foreign relations, besides which he is a very thorough 1 pecially well versed in international law At the head of the state de par ment Mr. Sherman would give to our diplomatic service a dignity, force and character which it has hardly enjoyed gince Dania) Webster was secretary of state. The country could rely upon the administration of the department being thoroughly American, without any ex- travagant or aggressive parade. Our intorests abroad would be fully pro- tected, There would be little danger of national humiliation from careless or stupid blundering, and we should once more win the respect of the world by having a just and well-grounded policy firmly carried out. WE understand that General Esta- brook denies that he was the author of the slanderous attack upon the editor of Tue BEE which appeared in the IRe- publican over the signature of **Veritas.” We cheerfully accord the general the benefit of his disclaimer. The informa- tion on which the editor of TiHE BEE based his open lettey came from a prom- inent citizen who heard General Esta- brook at Saturday might’s jumboree in the city hall use about the same lan- guage that appeared over the name ““Veritas.” This attack at the council chamber was entirely uncalled for because no reference had been made to General Estabrook in this paper for a year or two. His plea for Jefferson square need not have been made through personal -abuse of a man who is in every respect as good & citizen as he is, at least. If he has been wrongfully charged or sus- pected, it is because he uttered in pub- lic what was printed afterwards over another name. This paper has never denied the right of any citizen to advo- cate whatever he may deem to be his own or the public interest. Its columns are, and always have been open to the advocates of Jefferson square, but they should con- fine themselves to the issues involved instead of appealing to public preju- dice by personal abuse and villification. THE anti-polygamy laws are still being enforced in Utah, but it is a ques- tion whether they are accomplishing their purpose. Their is now on the criminal calendar for the November térm of court in the First district of Utah some sixty cases in which the de- fendants are proseccuted for polyg- amy under the Edmunds act. In the list of the sixty defendants, not one of them is accused of having com- mitted polygamy, owing to the diffi- culties to prove polygamous marriages. But neaply every one is to be tried under the law which forbids “unlawful cohabitation,” the ponalties for which are comparatively light. The names of the accused are siguificant from the fact that nearly every name is that of a Swede or a Dane. This would indicate that a majority of the offenders are persons of little social or political prominence in the territory, probably newly arrived immigrants from Scandinavia. So long as the federal courts confine their pros- ecution to unimportant persons and mete out to them slight pewalties, it will be & long time before polygamy will be stamped out of existence. Tre grand jury of Cook county has ind 1 Cashier Tallman of the banl- rupt Traders’ bank of Chicago for em- bezzlement. The statute under which the action is tried provides that any banker who raceives money on deposit, knowing his banlk to be insolvent, shall be guilty of embezzlement., Further- more, the statute provides that the fail- ure of a bank within thirty days after the receipt of a deposit shall be consid- ered prima facie evidence of embezzle- ment. This is a strong law, which commends itself for the protec- tion of depositors from fraudulent pank officials, It ap- plicable to Nebraska. Our legislature will probably be called upon this win- ter to pass stringent banking laws. With a law similar to the Illinois bank- ing law on our statute books, the state would be better able to prosecute the ascals who ruined the bank and embez- zied the deposits of the people of Val- paraiso. Tae attack which the Herald makes upon Mayor Broateh in conneetion with the Fourth ward republican primary has nothing more for its basis than the disappointment of certain democrats who took a very active interest in this contest. Itisa piece of impertinence for a democralic paper to poke its nose into a factional contest of the opposition party. The Herald's admission thata disturbance of the peace by a resort to violence was only prevented through the presence of the police at the Fourth ward primary is a sufficient justification THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1838 BEE: for Mayor Broatch.

Neither has the Second ward had any veason to complain of Mr. Kasper for want of industry. He has attended cvery meeting of the council, and has always been found voting on the side of what he believed to be the public in- terest. TrE republicans of the Fourth ward have ratified the nomination made by the club, inthe person of Mr. D. H. Wheeler, who will undoubtedly repre- sent the Tourth ward in the next coun- cil. Mr. Wheeler has no superior as parliamentavian, and is thoroughly equipped in every vespect in legislative matters. He knows what the Fourth ward wants and what the people of Omaha want, He knows equaily well, also, what thoy do not want, and wo bo- lieve he will endeavor to represent the wishes of his constituents to the best of his ability Tae Burlington and -Union Pacific have a very pecuhar way of showing their affection for Omaha. It has been the boast of these railroads that they were at all times working for the inter- ests of our citv, and only wanted an ops portunity to manifest their love for her prosperity. Nevertheless, when a rep- resentative body of ens from Holt county made a personal appeal to the local managers of these two roads for a direct communication with Omaha they were given the cold shoulder.

Westward the star of cul- ture takes her way. It is to the west that the intellectual and cultivatea must look for true culturc nowadays, While Boaton runs aftor such vain idols as John Sullivan and Mike Kelly, the west studies Browning, and explores to their remotest limits the realms of philosophy, science, morals and theology. “There are no flies on the west when it comes to real, downright culture, and if Mr, Duryea’s culture is of the genuine kind he will find himself in a congenial atmosphere at Omaha, o Only Harm Can Result, Drovery’ Journal, Suppose inter-state commerce In dressed ments should be fovbidden by law, on the ground that meat dressed in one state was not wholesome food iz the next, what would bethe effect on the markets for our meats abroad? If our states should refuse to re- celye meats from one another, what better pretext would foreign countries ask for clos- ing their markets to it This is something to think about. Itisu serious question and should be seriously considered. In the light of the fact that all of the tallcof the butch- ers and their sorehedd allies about the im. purities of dressed meat arises from no in- terest iu the public health, but a selfish rule or ruin motive that segks the destruction of the dressed-meat Industry. The destruction of that improyed method can be as easily ac- complished as the returning of tiie Kather of Waters to the northern lakes and Tivers there is no danger of anything so absurd bappening. But thero is danger that this selfish, hypocritical tirade will be bad for our business abroad. C——— Orop Prospects. Chicago Herald No state has made better progress iu ge- curing her corn crop than the etate of Ne- braska, and the movement so far, even with the favorable surroundings alluded to, has been unusually swall. Omaha, the central shipping point for the easterm portion of the slate, reports that recoipts have notaveraged recently over 5,000 busiels & day, whereas they should bave been nearer 40,000. The indications, however, are that this movement of corn will increase on tha opening of the new yoar. The most gratifying statement in comncction with this crop in Nebraska is that the farmers as a 88 are in much better financial condition than they have boen for some time, This arose from the fact that the corn crop of 1887 realized thom a very hand some profit on their farms, and they do not like now to take 8 to 10 cents less ver bushel n they received for the old crop when the resont crop gives every ovidence of being sound Tho reports from Towa show that tho corn is drying out much better thawit did four- teen days ogo, and that at least 30 to 40 per cent of the corn is safe in its littlo crib. The Lllinois farmers have no reason to complain of the weather and the magnitude of the crop they are bandling, but they do. con plain, more or less, all over the state, of tho streak of soft corn which runs through the The fact, howaver, that farmors are ¥ making ations to crib and hold the present crop of corn instead of throwing it on the market this winter and next spring speaks volumes for their finan- cial ability, not only to hold their crops them- selyes, but to be able to keep them until prices are somewhat in keeping with the cost of production, il * LABOR NOTES, The report that tho United Bookbinders of New York were about to withdraw from the Knights of Labor is proved to have been false, he largest electrie plant in the world will 8001 bo put in operation.

The President-Elect's Choice of Pri- vate Secretary. Chaplain Lozier of Mount Vernon: “Elijah W. Halford. Know him? Yes, as well as [ know any man in Indianap: olis. T have known him from his youth. Knew his mother and all the boys, and splendid lot of boys they were. I was pastor of one of the Methodist churches of Indianapolis, and M Halford was a member of another of our Methodist socicties there, and we were frequently thrown together in church worl he was left a widow when her boys were quite young, but they were manly boys, and csteemed it an honor to be “tied to their mother apron string.’ They went to work in the Journal office, I%. W. as reporter and ‘Jimmie’ and ‘Willie’ as carriers, and they kept up as eosy a home as you could wish to see, in which that mother was the queen. But a terribly calamity came to that home during the war. One morning while it was vet quite dark, Willie was distributing his morning Journals, when a gambler came out of & saloon, and with a drunken yell. fired his revolver across the street in the darkness. The ball crashed through the brain of little Willie, and they car- ricd him home dead. Since that day neither the Journal, nor the Inter- Ocean, of which Halford was once man- aging cditer, has been charged with friendliness for saloons or gambling houses, except by prohibitionists of tho t. John-Helen Gougar ‘combination,’ who recently undertook a contract to ‘pulverizo the republican party,’ I be- lieve.” . “Toll us something more about the Halford of the hour.” “You want to know about his per- sonnel, as they say in Yokahoma, or somewhere? Well, Halford is another of your ‘big little man’ like neral Harrison. Not & boy in size by any means, but not a large man. Ithink he and the president-elect would tip the beam at about the same notch—say 150 pounds—but_they both ran to brain move than feet,as you probably have been led to suspect.’” “Do vou regard him as a great man,” we inquired. “Well, yes—for an editor!” (Here the chaplain prepared to dodge an inkstand with which we wers toying sugges- tively.) ‘““Journalism has been his pro- fession and his forte; and yet he is no tyro in political affairs, as T happen to know. He was Scnator Morton's pri- vate secrotary when Morton was at hi zenith in the days of Lincoln and Grant, and no man of Halford's brain ever sat at the feet of such a man with- out acquiring much that is priceless in statesmanship. Halford has written the platforms, and done much to shape the policy of the republicans of Indi- ana for , and [ guess, too, that next to McKinley, could elaim paternal reia- tions to our national platform,” “You regard Harvison as the Morton type politically? “Yes; and so do I Harrison, in the main. The Morton school of politics has been represented in Indiana since Mortou'’s day, by such men Geuneral Harrison, Gover- nor Porter, Governor Cumback and Generals Hovey and Tom Browne, Col- onel Halloway and others, with Halford at the head of the Journal which is the chief organ of the party in lodiana.” “But what has that to do with pri- vate secrotary? Harrison is no Grover Cleveland and Halford is no Daniel,” “I can assure you Harrison will run things at the white house,” the chaplain continued, ‘“‘and Halford has seuse enough tolet him! You will find Hal- ford n business secretary hly conversant with current national afla and with all grades of public men— gentlemanly withal, and, withal, dis- criminating and sagacious.” ——— e ~ Constitutional Catarrh, No single discnse has entatled more sutfermg or Listened the broaking up of the coustitution than Catareh, The sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of hearing, the human Vol s mind, -~ or 1noro, aud sometimes all, yield to its de- structiy ace, The polson it dsstributes tiroughout the system attacks every vital force, Wi renks up the most. robust of constitutions Tgnored, bucauso but little understood, by most iy siciuns, impotently axssiled by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from 1t liave little fope to he relleved of 1t this side of the grave, 1t 18 time, then, that the popular treatment of thin terriblo disease by remedies within the reach of wll pussed into hauds ompatent i L istworthy, ‘e new a rto untried method adopted by D, Sauford in the propars- tion of his [tADICAL CURE his won the hearty aporoval of thousands. 1t 14 fustantaneous in aftording relief in all head colds,sneozing, snuf- Hing and obstructed breathing, and rapidly re. 08 the WOsE OPPressive syinptoms, clearing the lioad, swectoning the breuth, restoring the Fenses of smell, taste and bearingand neutraliz- ing the constititional tendency 0f the disease towards the lungs, 1iver and kindeys BANFORD'S BADICAL CURE consists of one bottls of the RADICAL Cuik, one bOX of CA- TAURNAL BOLVENT, and IMPROVED IN- HALEW; Drice, 31, POTIER DRUG & CHEMICAL (0., BOSTON, FREE!
