Randall, it is almost certain that his carveer in congress will be limited to one torm. The famous Third district which Randall vepresented is locatod in the hoart of Philadelphia, a eity which in- variably rolls up handsome republican majorities. The district was appavently earved out for the special benefit of the ate congressman, and while the remain- ing four districts of the city are vepubli- an, the extreme protection sentiment prevented any change in the boundaries of the Third which might fmperil the continuance in congress of a protection domocrat. The demise of Randall moves this all-powerful influence and when the next Pennsylvania legislature redistriots the state Philadelphin will be made solid for the republicans. AN AMBITIOUS HUMBUG, Barnum, that prince of humbugs, onco exclaimed: *“You may kick me and damn me all you please, 5o you keep my name before the people. An acrobatic editor in these parts is trying very hard to excel the noted showman as a humbug. He is willing to be called a knave, & fraud, an imposter or an idiot, if he can only attract atten- tion enough to be noticed. Last week he posed in the ridiculous role of political match-maker between the democracy and Farmers’ alliance, and he prides Kimself that some papers pronounced him a blank fool and others a commodious ass, Here is a man who cannot be insulted. His insane ambition for notoriety al- most surpnsses that of George Irancis n. And now this clown in aneditor’s chair ng to center attention upon him- self by trying to play ringmaster. He solemnly and seriously orders Governor Thayer to convene the legislature at once and direct it to railroad a maxi- mum freight rate bill through at a can- non ball speed. Although the consti- tution of Nebraska requires eve bill to be read on three separate days in each of the two houses, this extraordi- nary session is to be limited to four days, and six thousand dollars is com- puted to be ample to pay for the enter- tainment. This would be business as well as pleasure for the defunct legisla- ture and a small army of LILIX\S and hangers on. Aud what would that boodle legisla- ture do if it should convene? If it could not pass a single railvoad regulation bill in a sixty days session would it passa maximum rate bill in four days? And what kind of a maximum rate would it be? Eve mple would know better than to expect any railvoad legis- lation from that body. With an imperious dignity thav would do credit to the king’s fool our Bombas tes Furioso rises to the magnitude of his position and addresses this final fanfar- ade to the governor: Convene the legislature and pass a Dbill with an emergency clause, John M. Thayer could not write his signature to a document that would cause more joy. Dare he do it? Dare he refuse? This is really comical enough to bring down the cireus and muke the whole mendgerie roar. Knock off that chip, governor, if you dare! What sublime egotism! What adamantine cheek! POLITICAL PREPARATIO. Ady! hington indicate that both the political pavties are pre- paring for the congressional cam paigns next fall. A meeting of the executive committee of the national republican committee has been arranged for next Wednesday at the national capital, when it is expected that important action will be taken with reference to the work to be done by the national committee. The indications are that this will not be light or of a merely perfunctory racter. The re- port is that while the democratic man- agers have apparently been doing very s a matter of fact they have been prosecuting a very active still hunt which it is 1 prove to be not entirely ineffective. f rate, it is desirable that the r licans shall with as little delay as possi- onably appreh ended may At ble enter upon the work of counteract- ing the democratic efforts, and when this is ¢ expected to bhe with v and aggres The ad tages of th the republ situation are certainly with ns, but it is well to r nize the ibility that without active and vigilant work these may in part be lost. Of course a great deal will depend upon the character of the taviff and sil- ver legislation. If these ave satisfactory to the intelligent judgment of the coun- try thereean bo no doubt that the repub- licans will maintain control of the next house of representative Looking beyond the congressional campaigns of this year to the movements having refereace to the next presidential contest, the matter of chief interest is the maneuvering of the Cleveland and Hill forc or rather of their respective leade: The visit of the ex-president to Washington last week, ostensibly to argue a case in the supreme court, was improved by certainof his adinivers with the obvious purpose of political effect. A Washington paper asserts that My, Cloveland went to the national capital to start his boom for 1892, but whether such was the case or not there is no evidence that he was averse to having his friends pay him consideration that might v bear such construction, and un- questionably he learned with very great satisfaction of the action of the Mary- land democrats favorable to him as the next candidate of the party, with Ohio’s democratic governor, James B, Camnp- bell, second on the ticket. Tt is always to be borne in mind that Mv. Clevelund has never allowed an intimatien to go out that he does not desire to bo agaln the candidate of his party, but on the contrary: his course has been such as to carry the under- standing that he regards himself as the rvightful leader of the party who is eu- titled to the nomination, Meanwhile Governor Hill is not idle, though it is not apparent that he is ac complishing or can nccomplish anything outside of New Y But he may be able to exercise a control theve which, if not effective in securing himself the nomination, which now appears improba- ble under any civeumstances, might be disastrous to Mr, Cleveland. - In o recent speech at Charleston, South Cavo- lina, Mr. Henry Wattorson sald that un- less the Now York delegation in the next demoeratic national convention shall be unanimous in its choice of a candidate it will not be able to name the man who shall lead the democracy in the next presidentinl campaidh, To thisthe ) York Sun responded that the delegution would bo unanimous, and that its choice would be David Bennett Hill. There is no doubt that the Snn sincevely wishes this to be 50, but there are abundant reasons for belioving it will be disappointed. The conditions may very greatly chang within the next two years, but if they continue as at present, it is ce in that New York will have a divided delegu- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, MONDAY, MAY 5, 1896. tion, with Hill perhaps controlling & majority of its members, In that event Mr. Cleveland’s chances of election, if he received the nomination, would be no better thanthey were two years ngo. —_—— DEMOCRATIC BAIT REJECTED. For some time past the democratic managers in Illinois have been scheming to «induce the various organizations of farmers in that state to make some sort of an alliance with the democraey. - issaries of that party have been actively at work among the members of these or- ganizations, making most liberal prom- ises of favors to the agricultural class in return for their votes in placing demo- crats in office. General Palmer, who has an ambition to go to the United States senate, has been put for- ward as specially representing the wishes of the farming class, and in every possible way the democratic man- agers ve unu;.'ht, to wheedle the farm- ers into a consolidation for a common warfare against the republican party of the state. For atime there seemed to be some ground for apprehending that they might be partially successful, ‘here is no longer any fear on this score, The conferenco a few days ago at Springfield of repre- sentatives of the various farmers’ organizations and of the Knights of Tator resulted in a complete rejection of the democratic bait. Resolutions were adopted in favor of consolidating the organizations and declaring that as the members are of all political parties each is expected to work in his own party for the principles and policies which the farmers favor. It was recom- mended that members of the organiza- tions take an active part in political pri- maries and conventions, ‘but mno independent or third party move- ment was advised. Tn a word, these Il- linois farmers propose to maintain their own organizations, entively separated from the political parties, leaving ev man to work within the party to which he belongs for the principles which th farmers as a class believe to be nece sary to their interests and welfare, expecling each to "vote only for men who are pledeed and can be trusted to support those principles and This i an eminently wise and proper course, and the mple is worthy of emu- lation by the farmers of other states. Independent political action and unnatu- val party alliances are not the means by which the agricultural producers will obtain a redress of their grievances. Their true and safo policy is to bring all their influence to bear upon the domi- nant party in each state from - within, wherever they are in a position to do is by reason of their larger affiliation with the ruling party, and there are few states in which they cannot do this fully. As to this the Illinois farmers have taken a sensible position, and one which ean be commended to general imitation. THE LATE SENATOR BECK. Probably no congress sinee the founda- tion of the government had so large a death roll as the present one thus far, with little more than half its term passed. Kight or nine members of the house have gone to the undiscovered country, and now death has invaded th senate, taking thence one of its most di tinguished members, James B. Beck, whose prolonged illness terminated sud- denly in death on Saturday, had repre sented Kentucky in the two houses of s for more than twenty s, and during a great purt of that time had been prominentas o party leador and us one of the ablest men in the national legislature. Heo was a man of strong convictions, to which he ad- yed herred with a tenacity peculiar to the Scoteh eharacter, and which he never lacked the courage to battle for. A demoevat, in thorough sympathy with all the eardinal principles of the party, there w ions in his legisla- v when he disapproved meas- which had the general support of his pavty, and his vote hasbeen re- corded against such measure; pveral ars ago his independent course as to some question supposed to be vital tothe interests of the democratic party for a time weakened his influence, and his disagreement with the Cleveland admin- istration threatened to defeat him for re-clection to the senate, but the peo- ple of Kentucky, knowing and ap- preciating his integrity of purpose and his conscientious sense of duty, sustained him in every is of his public career and kept him in the position which he honored and in which he reflected honor upon his state, A strong, rdy, ele- vated character was that of James B. Beelk, and it can 1 rid of him that whatever mistakes of judgment he made and whatever his defects as a statesman, the vecord of his public life bears no blemish of dishonor. em—— Wny not settle the stockholders’ dif- mces in o free-for-all serap in the It would prove far 1 chaviot race. f Coliseum avenu? more profitable t Don't Say Ohio Politics.

Tt is frequently” the case that people, in their zeal for temperance and prohibition, hastily accuse those who differ with them of being in league with the devil and owned by the saloon. They refuse to accord to others the same privilege they demand for themselves—thoe credit of being conscientious in the stand they take on that question. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar is but one of that too large class, and she deemed it her privilege to state from various rostrums that Tur Owmana Ber had been purchased to fight pro- hibition, without offeringany proof to sustain her position. When the editor of Tne Bew appeared at one of her moetings to refute her charges she con tinued exhibition of narrow- minded partisan spleen and bigotry by having him arrested for disturbing the meeting. He was tried before a judge e the same calibre of Mrs. Gougar, and fined $10; but the case was appealed to a higher court, and was last weok dismissed because the prosecution had no grounds for their case. The editor of Tuz Ber was undoubtedly inconvenienced to some extent, but if Mrs. Gougar and her in- discreet friends benefitted their cause any by the action they took, the Leader confesses that it is thick-headed enough not to see it. - The Rack in the Path of Fusion.

The Pawnce Press endorses the proposed coalition of the democrats and the alliance, and says: “A campaign encrgetically and wisely fought upon such a plan places with- in the reach of both organizations triumph in the state and congressional districts, and suc- in the legislature. One qualification in their platform, will be necessary—the ques- tion of prohibition must be ignored.” That paper then urges that both sides drop the question of prohibition. That is one of the rocks upon which the coalition would split. For years the democratic party in Nebraska has said that it was opposed to all sump- tuary laws, and now that we ave brought face with the prohibition amendment the Press would have us turn traitor and show the white - feather. If we were honest in our former declarations—and the News is confi- dent that we woere —why should we not stand up for our principles now?t particular cssential which the alli- nce now demands (except it be in regard to unlimited currency) the democrats have de- cluved for y ast and still favor.
