DOUGLAS county hus selected a clean and intelligent delegation to the state convention, Other counties will be equally well represented. 1t is now almost ecertain that the coming state convention will not only be the largest gathoring of representative republicans that has ever met in this state, but also the first convention held in many years that is in accord with the sentiment of- the rank It only remains for the convention to nominate men whose vecords are unassailable on & platform that expresses in terse and forcible terms the views of the party on he vital issucs of the hour. WHAT WILL IT COST? In advocating the ship subsidy bills before congross Senator Frye submitted estimates of the cost of the proposed pol- icy to the government. One of theso wis made by the commissioner of navi- gation, who estimated that for the first year the dost would be a little less than thre million dolin from which it would gradually inc: until in ten years it would amount to seven mil- lion dollais, the proposal of the subsidy bill being to bind the govern- ment to the policy for fitteen . Sen- ator Frye was a little less conservati than the commissioner of navigation, ving that he should be disappointed if the aggregate in thres or four yoars did Bt 2 not rise ' to seven or mil- lion dollars p year. “The larger the figure it reaches,” remarked the Maine senator, ‘“the more effect it will have upon commenrt The difference in the estimates commissioner of i and those of € suggestive. It is simply im- s to sny with any degree of ne- curacy what the probable cost of th subsidy business would be in any for a sorios of y use the ¢ of the policy in stimulating ship build- | ing is wholly uncertain, If it have any such influence as its advoc the figures of the an- ge upon which the commissioner ation are made too small and Senator Prye Is the more nearly correct, But he reful, considering what the subsidy advocates promise the country, with much patriotic rhetorie, would fol- the adoption of their plan of restoring the nation’s merchant mari Accord- ing to this we should in afew years be in a position of indepondencs of foreign ship owners and b fully provided with the facilities for transporting our prod- of tion the i or would of ucts of the farm and t0 every land that wanted them. Certaiuly if this were tained soven or eight million dollars an- nually would fall short of paying the subsidies, The demand on the public treasury would be several times that wmount, | Apart from the objection to the prin ple of subsidios, which the large majc ity of the American people regard us g sentially hostile to our governmental system, this uncertainty as totcost is a jle ground of opposition to the proposed policy. No trustworthy esti- mate vegarding it is possible and a scheme of public expenditures intended to be continued for a number of years, the cost of which cannot be asc tained with any degree of certainty, is one to bo avoided. Moreover, if there is any danger that after the government 'was committed to this policy it would fail to produce the effect expected of it, it would be wiser not to adopt it. This subject has never been presented with greater plausibility than by its present advocates, but they have not succeeded renson: any better than their in demonstrating that it the duty of the government to take the mouey collected in taxes from the whole people and thusapply it to the direct profit of the few. Lvery American citizen would like to sce his country possessing the means of its own to transpory its products to other lands, but while there is another way of attain- ing this dosirable condition the great majority of American citizens will not approve the subsidy policy. The party in control of congress should think twice before taking a leap in support of sub- sidies. JOUN C. FREMONT. Among the.prominent Americans of a past generation few occupied so large o place in the attention and esteem of their countrymen as the late General John C, Fremont, who died in New York on Sunday, after a very brief illness. The story of his life is tinged with more of romance than that of any other American of his time, but it was a life into which there entercd also much that was practical and greatly use- ful to the country. The carly years of his manhood found him exploring the t wilderness of the west between the Missouri i nd the Pacific ocean, and in thisservico he earned the title of the **Pathfinder,” which was the proud- estever bostowed on him. In the per- formance of this difficult and ngerous duty, to which he brought excellent judgment, dauntless courago and inde- fatigable zeal, he achieved world-wide fame and opened to the knowledge of his countrymen a reglon whose splendid possibilitics he lived to seo largely devel- oped. To Fremont,move than to any oth man, was due the acquisition of Califor- nia, and if there word nothing else in his eventful eareer to entitle him to an hon- orable place among the patriotic and useful citizens of the republic that fact would do so, His name and fume are indissolubly associated with the his- tory of Californin, which he representod in congress as one of the flrst senators from that state, Although born in the south and living there until his majority Fremontactively identified himself witl the anti-slavery cause, and when the republican party | was organized it selected him as its first candidate for the presidency. His nomi- | nation was recelved with enthusiasm and the campaign was one of the most memorable in the history of the coun- try. But Fremont had little taste for polifics, and he did not pursue the op- portunity for political preferment which this prominence gave him. Asa major general during the war of the rebellion | ho performed some valuable service, but did not fully meet the expectations of his admirers. An event of this period of his career which illusteated that quality of his chavactor which led him to act promptly upor his convictions, was the issuing of o proclamation, while he was in command of the western department, freeing the slaves within his military jurisdiction. The action was premature, but it was highly approved by those who believed this to be a proper and certain way of erippling the confederates, and had a very considerable influence in shaping publicsentiment in favor of eman- cipation, General Fremont patriotically refused to countenance the movement of | the national republicans in 1864 who were dissatisfied with the administra- { when his successor date for the presidency. For*a quartor of u century he had boen little pefore the public eye, though not all the time inac- tive, and not thoe least useful part of his labor during this time was the prepara- tion of his memolrs, It was in grateful recognition of his important services to the country that the present con- gross placed him on the retired noral at list of the army half pay. The death of General Fremont will be widely regretted, for he had ahost of warm friends in every portion of the country who esteemoed him for his por- sonal worth not less than they honored him for what he had accomplished, and there will be universal sympathy for the noble woman who for more than half a century has been his almost constant companion and his wisest counselor. As 0 major ge THE CENTRAL AMERICAN SITUATION A dispateh from the City of Mexico anmounces o warlike state of affairs in Central Amervica. Salvador continues the seene of serious ‘popular dis- turbance, and the revolutionary spirvit as active as at any time since it mani- fested itself just preceding the assassi- nation of Menendez Meanwhile Guate- mala, whoese influence in the affairs of Salvador s responsible in Ta part for the existing situ- ation, 1is preparing for a con- tlict that appears highly probable. She has twenty thousand troops on the frontier to repel an invasion should Sal- vador attempt to enter her territory, and intends to put forty thousand sol- diers in the field. Salvador is 0 said to bo raising an equal army, but in view of the condition of popular tumult in that country and the fact that the new government under Ezeta is not sup- ported by the whole people and is not rocognized by the other gov- ernments, the task of raising | and equipping an army able to cope with that of Guatemala would seem to be an oxtremely difficult one. It might be rendered less so in the event of an inva- the sion by Guatemala, in which atriotism as well as the mates terests of the people would be invoked, but the government of Guatemala will undoubtedly be satistied with protecting its own soil against invasion, Five y ago the then dictator of Guatemala, Gene Barrios, lost his life in an invasion of Salvador, and undertook to con- {inue his policy Mexico called him to a hal It is move than probable that an- oth tempt by Guatemala to impose apolicy on Salvador by force of arms would be met by Mexican interposition. The source of the diffeulty is found in the effort to establish a Central Ameri- can union. Under Menéndez, who owed his political elevation to the influence of caso Guatemala, Salvador was commit- ted in favor of the federa- tion, but a very large party in that country, perhaps a majority of the people, are opposcéd to the scheme on the ground that it would result in giving Guatemalaa predominating power in the union, having with her Honduras, whose policy she practically controls, Hence the revolution, which struck its first fatal blow at the creature of Guate- mala, Menendez. The sympathies of Costa Rica and Nicaragua are under- stood to be with Salvador, but it is not reported that any prepara- tions of a warlike nature are mak- ing in those countries. A convention to carry into effect the proposed federation already agreed to was provided for to be held in September, and it is thought hostilities will not oceur before then. If Salvador is not represented in the con- vention Guatemala and Honduras may endeavor to force her into the union. A conflict of arms between these states might not be of long duration, but it would doubtless be a very interesting struggle while it lasted, although past outbreaks between Central American states huve not asa rule been of an ex- tremely sanguinary character. Mean- while, there appears littlo chance of a union of these states being effected in the near future. SERIOUS PROPOSITIONS. The taviff bill that is to be discussed in the senate this week, when carofully analyzed, shows that somo commodities are given the preference. The main feature of the bill 4s it is now presented seoms to bo to increase the duty on almost every article of food and elothing used by the people, In doing this the result is a “revision of the tarif,”” but the revision appears to bo on the wrong articles, For instance, the duty on tin plate is to be increased from 1 cent to 22 cents a pound. With this increased duty on tin half the canning factories in the country, it is cluimed, must close. But the fact that the tin soldier is to be subdued is well worth the sacrifice. The hill appeals to all kinds of people. Cabbages are taxed three cents each in order to decrease the consumption of sauerkraut. The pauper hen of Burope is to have her product protected by a duty of five per cent on eggs. Tho ogg market is now open to the world, but pro- hibitionists ~ want a stale ar cle to heave at high licenso debaters. Cheese is taxed six cents per pound while diamonds are fres, This is done to appease the wrath of the aristocrats who would rather wear diamonds t carey Limburger cheese in their poc Potatoes are taxed twenty-five cents a bushel, but ivory is free, A hungry man who cannot afford to pay twenty-five cents tax on his potatoes can pick his h with an elephant’s tusk and imag- ine that he has been to dinner. Butter is taxed six conts per pound,but as human hair is free smugglers may be able toget in their work and escaps the Auty on butter, The fact that most all laxuries are free shows the wisdom of the bill, But few peoplo can afford luxuries unless they are free, while we all must have the nee- essaries of life. It is understood that the Nebraska delegation will attempt to get whale blubber and Mother Hubbard squashes on the freo list, 1f they succeed, it will be the trium ph of a lifetime.

More liquor is now being consumed than before prohibition went into effect, An individual cannot pur- chase a single drink as formerly, but must needs buy a pint or quart bottle of beer or whisky ata time. Sooner than see it “spoil’ the liguor is consumed at one sitting and the consequence is an increased amount of drunk- enness.

Hastings Nebraskan., It must be conceded that the reports of the great joint discussion on the prohibition ques- tion weve faithfully reported in Tur Be Messrs. Small and Dickie and t have been shown a spivit of fa erosity in this matter worthy of emulation. Every peint they made for their cause was carefully recorded and the approving mau festations of the partisl audiences noted be- twoen brackets. It is strong evidence of the | fact that at least Mr. Rosewater is sincere on | this question, and he has boen oven more honorable toward his opponents who insulted him with hisses Jeers, Messrs, Roso- water and Webster have clearly demon- stratod that there are substantial reasons for the faith there is in them, and foew men even of their strong convictions would have been willing as they were to debate a question bo- fore an audienco unfriondly to them. But they were aware of the fact that they wore really talking for a larger audience and one hat would give them respectful attention - The Only Legi imate Conclu * Fred Benzinger in Lincoln Couvier, Sitting in front of the Capital hotel the other evening A. G. Wolfenbarger, the pro- hibition advocate, conversed on the all pre vailing topic in a temperate, sousible wa He spoke in complirientary terms ot the abil ity and energy of Editor Rosewater of Tine OwAnA Ber and expressed the opinion that that paper was being paid by tho liguor in- tevest for its fight aguinst prohibition. He added with unmistakable sincerity that Tue Brr was carning every dollar the liguor men arelikely to pay, that Mr. Rosewater is throwing an influence and a power into the campaign with results that the anti-prohi Ditionists could not secure in any other way with an expenditure of a like sum of money. There is nothing startling in these state- ments, but it is & bit noticeable that such testimony should have from source. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Rose- water isa much misunderstood man, By thousands of people every uttevance of Tir B on state affuivs is supposed to be loaded with mystic meaning, If a quarter of the surmises were true they would keep Mr. Ros ewater awake nights laying plans to boost this or that politician into ofice. 1f a half of these guesses were facts Mr. Rose: water's time would be engrossed with thousand schemes of assorted sizes and colors. The fear of small fry politicians con- jures up shadows that never had any sub- stance in Mr. Ro: w'splans. The p judice and the ignorance of narrow-minded people attribute mean actions and qualities that would become themselves, but are foreignto him. 1 do not mean to hold up the Omuha editor as a paragon, but I do believe heis nota quarter as bad as he is painted Ho has stepoed on the schemes and ambitions of a thousand men, and they have turned on him with bitter reviling. Hence the prevail- ing opinion, Take the recent debate at the Beatrice Chautauqua assembly between Sam Small and Prof. Dickie for prohibition and Mr. 1 water and John L. Webste ainst it T Bre employed three stenographors to make satim. reports, and it published both sides without abridgement and without any attempt to color the affair. 1t is not likely the liquor interest would pay to have prohibition speeches reported and pubiished, and if the men in the business aro really put- ting up to Tue Bee they would undoubtedly have given a good round sum to prevent these prohibition speeches having the benefit of Tur Ber's great circulation. The only legitimate conclusion is that Mr. Rosewater published this debate on his own motion and athis own expense. And if you will look back over his record you will find that that sort of thing has not been uncommon with Tue Bee, Such cases make me foel prouder of journalism and of the men in it. The spirit of fair play manifested by Trg B is a newspaper virtue beyond the comprehension of the average man, and Mr. Rosewater is even more of an enigma to the bigotry and stupidity of the common herd. - POLITICAL GOSSIP: come such a Colonel Henry A. Morrow of Ft. Sidney, Neb., is a candidate for brigadier general, and ifa splendid war record will bring him his desired commission, Colonel Morrow will not be disappointed. Colonel Tom Majors, according toa Ne- ‘maha county paper, will ask to bo made gov- emor. Colonel Tom will perhaps continue to aslk for an indefinite period of time, It would seem from an advertisement ap- pearing in his personal mugwump organ that Mr. Broatch could not managehis own coach- man during the primarics, as hedid during the last city clection, The defeated governor advertises for a new coachman—one neat in personal habits, As Mr. Broatch is now en- tirely out of politics it would seem that here- after his coachman could hold his job. Frank Wright is a candidato for state sen- ator from the counties of Nemaha and John- son. Nemaha is not entitled to thatofiico this year, but Mr. Wright will contest any way. Joe Lamaster's fricnds are thinking of pushing him to the front. Joe has “jined the dimicrals” because he was not satisfied concerning the tarifft views and some other things of the other part E. A.

There seems to be some difference of opin- fon in Dodge ccunty over the right of the Richards men to say that Dorsey should not be a candidate, “‘Delegate” gives his views on tho subject, which are not just in accord with the belief of looker on. The Beatrice Democrat gives this good ad- vice—as good to republicans us to democrats: “If the farmers and workingmen do mot ean interest in the primaries, and help run the politics of the county, they will have 10 one to blame but themselves.
