THE activity in railroad building be- yond the borders of Northwestern Ne- braska will within a year open new fer- tilo ficlds of industrial activity and largely increase the trade territory of Omaha and the state. The new roads are links in the vast systems concen- trated in this city. — Witk the Nebraska State Homce- opathic Medical soclety showed profes- sional narrowness in expelling a member for advortising, it has demonstrated its good judgment in another way by elevat- ing an Omaha man to the presidency of the association.

A FITrING memgrial to the late Pan- Ameriean congress will be established In Washington. It will be a Latin- Amorican library, consisting of histori- cal, geographical and literary wor aud documents bearing on the history and civilization of the new world. The nations represented in the congross will make valuable and extensive contribu- tions. President Harrvison and Soere tary Blaine strongly urge congress to provide a suitable building, and it is probable its dedication will form an ap- propriate feature of the Columbian cele- brations two years hence, Y citizen of Omaha is interested In making the eleventh census an aceur- ate compendium, not only of the popula- tion but &f our commercial and jindus- trial progress. It is of vital importance that the enumeration shall be thorough in every foature and represent the mar velops growth of the city during the past ten yoars. Tho statistios thus guthered will be the standard by which the city’s future will be gauged. They will form the basis of all comparative population tables and become a vital purt of all reference and statistical works for the next ten years. There is no oceasion for the boom methods re- ted to in other cities. The progress of Omaha during the decade will com- pare favorable with that of any city in the union. But we must have a com- plete count, and to this end every indi- vidual should lend a hand, } changed the great gult t AT THE WORLD A correspondent whose concern for the in his communication, suggests that it is time some thovght w representation world’s fair of 18! and asks as to the best o being given to citizen of Ne- A thus manifests in the question of having the products and industries of the state adequately international exposition which is to com- | represented dation, and it be to awak: merits hearty comme be well if its effect shall al interest in the question. aiv will not open for nearly | within a_year, in all | probability, all the states will be asked | and expected missioners what sp occupy and as far as practicable wl | against free coi y will desire to \tes, possibly to construct or for some to attract to tention, and in son a comprehen- most of them, buildings for their displ special exhibit designed order to parfect pla sive scale it is to give timely attention to the subject. | doing this, and othor states will s00n bagin to manifest an intercst, at least 5o far as to discuss the char the represontation they \ skamust not lag be- should hav hind in this matt grandest opportunity ever sented for o complate displs | ably I agricultural resou the fullest advantage should be taken of As to the best way to proceed no ad- s can be given at present that would The determination of be of any value, this will rest with air commissione al provisions for state and formt 1out under the the repre- sentation of the plan to be carri vision of the state commissione v limitations may be im- of national commis- sioners charged with the duty of making i grent fair. provide for the collee- jeet to whate S tRagard plan will at 1 agricultural In the meantime it for the people to give such consideration to the subject as muke intelligent suggestions to the leg- cretion e should be done in order to give sources of Nebraska showing in the world’s fair.

The house of representatives has re- corded its verdict on silver, and it is ge. This result was foreshadowed by the action of tho re publican caveus last Wednosday night and by the vote in the house Thursday on the resolution to proceed to the con- | sideration of the silver bill, but still there were threatened defections which caused some apprehension regarding the outcome, A few of the more stubborn re- publican advocates of free coinage med determined to insist upon recom; mitting the proposed bill to the commit- tee with instructions to report a free coinage measure, and it was feared that by making an alliance with the demo- crats they might carry their point. The majority of twenty-flve aguinst the mo- tion to recommit was conscquently more decisive defeat of the free coinage men than was expeeted, and even after this the majority of sixteen by which the caucus substitute for the house bill was passed was prob- ger than had been counted on. It is ample as an assurance to the country that free coinage hasno hope in | the house, The bill passed provides for the pur- chase by the secretary of the treasury of silver bullion to the aggregate amount of four and one-half million dollars’ worth of finesilver in each month at the mar- ket price thereof, not exceeding one dol- lar for three hundred and seventy-one and a quarter grains of pure silver, to be paid for in treasury notes. Such notes are to be re- deemed in coin und may be reizsued, but the amount of such notes outstanding shall not at any time be groater or less than the cost of the bullion in the treasury purchased by the notes. They shall be a legal tender in payment of ail debts, public or pri and when ro- ceived for customs, taxes and public dues may be reissued. They may be counted as a part of the lawful reserve of any banking asspciation holding thet. The secretary of the treasury may in his dis- hange silver bullion for these notes on the demand of the holde Whenever the market price of silver is one doltar for three hundred and seventy. one and a quarter grains of pure silver the owner of any silver bullion may de- posit the same at any coinage mint of the United States to be coined into stan- dard silver dol for his benefit. This measure differs from the oviginal house bill in the essential matter of the redemption of the treasury notes issued in pay- ment for silver bullion, providing that they shall be redeemed in coin instend of in bullion. If it becomes a law the rensury will take nearly the entire an- and s 0 is of currency will amount to about thirty million dollars a year. If the effect of this shall be to advance silver, as there is every reason to helieve it will, until the mar- ket price is one dollar for three hundred i seventy-one and a quarter grains, free coinage ensues at the option of the owner of any silver bullion who may de- > to have it coined, for his benefit, into standard dollars, The measure is most liberal to the silver intorest of the country, conceding really evorything but absolute and immediate free coinage, it would insure . as rapid an increase of the currency as e financiers believe to be financial relations with other countries. It ought to be acceptable to a majority of the republicans of the senute, but its chances dieted with any degree of certainty.

Belford’s Magazine has an ably writ- ten articlo from the cultured pen of Judge C. E. Fenmer of the Loui preme court, giving a southern view of the race problem, He holds to the idea that the thru ana su- ting of the uneducated freedmen into southern politics, where arily had to compete with try, was a mistake only to be remedied by the retivement of the colored people tion in southern the question, he from active particip: politics, In discussi says: Alarge majority of wise and enlightened men ot all partles have undoubtedly o cluded, from the experience of tho past twenty yours, that the granting of univ suffrage to the ne a political mistake, injurlous equally to the whites and blacks of the country. Notwithstanding great difiic tles In the way, there nre not wanting signs of the thnes pofnting to its withdrawal. 1t things £0 on as they aro going, the time will surely come when, in the interests of buth races, such withdrawal will become u nocessity. Anticipating such an event the judge proclaims the following motto: “Goy: crnment for the white—protection for the black,” But there are great difficulties in the way of such u policy, Many will admit that it might have been practical before the enfranchisement, but the northern people will hositate before consenting to a disfranchisement of the negro. Fol- lowed out to its legitimate results such a policy would take from the southern states ut lenst thirty electoral votes and almost preclude the possibility of unother democratic president. Without the electoral votes reprosenting the southern negro vote that unever was counted, Cleveland would never have pressed the presidential chair, The race question will take its course.

And the committeo of fifteen, ap- pointed for the purpose by the auti-monopoly conforence some time since, was present to ropresent the interests of that eloment of the party before the state committee, It shows how intense the popular feeling in Ne- braska has been, for the committee of fiftee was empowered o call & convention in tho @ event that the regular state central com- mittee should refuse reasonablo concessions, Such was the situation in which the state atral committee met Wednesday night, It ws, indeed, critical condition. At the e time, although it involved chance for disastrous blunder, it opened a grand oppor- tunity to reassure, to solidify and even to strengthen the party in the state, Thoere is 10 room to dispute ‘that the demand for an carly convention and areform of the proxy abuse was reasonable and right. 1t was | vight in every respeet, and especially right now the end that republican organi zation and act truo enana tions of the party The whole situation, too, had been thoroughly canvassed and was perfectly well understood, and the had come when decision could not be de 4 und could not fail to be of “far-reaching ! The decision was right in both respects, , was fixed, being the ‘anti-monopoly commit- s against July 30, which was the opposing elet red | it. And tho committee made the matter more binding by adopting a rule, against determined opposi- tion, that no proxies be allowed, and that tho delegates prosent from each county be apg tiorlzed to cast 1ta entire vote i tho convend n. This covers the entire field so far as the preparations for the convention are con ceraed. -y preliminary askel for by the nti-monopolists has thus been conceded. Tl given the sign that it is ready to meef the situation candidly, and thereby hs shown that in its organization it has mac d arry out the will of its constin ents fairly and fully. And this fact wis promptly recognized by the committee of fi - teen representing the anti-monopoly clen which formally adopted resolutions of cndor ment, in which they “urge the anti-monopo republicans of Nebraska to remain stoadfis., to the party, belicving that it is united i determined in its purpose to pressed wishes of the people. 1t now only remains for tho masses of thi party to impress themselves upon the prini ries.” They have shown their power in the preliminarics. They b cured the oppor- tunity. It remains fo carry the work througi to the action of the convention, to_ the choico of candidates, to the framing of the platform and to the working organization of tho party for the ensuing campaign_ year. Tho ¢ will thus surely be the authéntic o of the people, beyond the possibility of wun- arry out the ex ve ipulation by rings or corporation syndic and it will be in the way of progress -5 complishing the ends which the sober ment of the people may indicate in their owi interests. And the republican party of Nebraska will be all the stronger for the decision which has been made. A scttlement had to bo made, a crisis had to come in- the control of the ovgunization, and it was well that it should come at this time, _The people are on top. They ask no injustice to the corpori tions, only justice to the public. Nebraska should this fall roll up, alolz this line, the biggest republican wmijorit - ever recorded. el St it This Beats the C ‘OMOs. # Atlanta Constitution, ; Editor Hanlon knows human nature well; he is now offering free strawberrios and watermelons as a premium for cash sub- scribers, and *The Quitman Press’ ing. s boom- - Republican State Convention.
