Two ean play at that gune.

MERCER made a gallant fight, and in view of the prejudice against can- didates from Omahaand Douglas county, has every reason to feel proud of the support he received. A CAREFUTL examination of the latest bateh of envoys and consuls appointed shows that the Nebraskans thirsting for a residence abroad are still cultivating corns on the frayed edge of hope. RETARY BLAI tells the whole truth about the MeKinley bill in these words: *“There is nota section or line in the entire bill that will open a mar- ket for another bushel of wheat or an- other barrel of pork. Tue man at the helm of our double- decked cotemporary will presently find Limself in the position of the nss be- tween two bundles of hay, With the in- dependent-alliance party on one side and the democratic party on the other, he will be ina dilemma to decide whom to support. BUSINESS property in Omaha steadily attracts the sagacious investor. With- out uny unusual offorts, outside capital issteadily secking permanent investment in the city. During the pastfew months it is estimated one million dollars were invested in business property, and in every instanco for pormanent improve- ment. Tho confidence displayed by eastern investors is the result of careful consideration and com- parision of the advantages of western cities, Omaha’s marvelous in- crease in population during the past de- cadeand the corresponding growth in commerelul, financial and industrial in- torests, proclaims the city's superior ad- vantages in all the elements of urban growth. Pricesof property are main- tained on a conservative basis, far below the prices of boom cities of less popula- tion, These are the convincing facts which Omaha presonts 3o the investor, and the steady inflow of capital proves that they are effective, ANnnN UMANRA UALLY B, FKIDAY THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The enjoyment of lower rates by con- tiguous states having no better claim o be thus favored than Nebragka, and the fact that the interstate com- merce commission have declared that oxisting rates upon the products of this state shipped to the east are cxcessive, deprive the railroads of every reasonu- ble exeuse for maintaining the present exaction, and impose upon those in au- thority the imperative duty of toking steps for its removal. Equally to be commended are the declarations of the plafform in favor of legislation defining the duty of corporations’to employes, prohibiting the illegitimate inere stock or capital by rilrond e panies, and requiring that the property of corporations shall be taxed the same as that of individuals, The last proposed reform would greatly incrense the revenue of the state while relieving private property of what is in part, under present conditions, an un- just burden. state is The farmers of Nebraska have in no respect suffered moreseverely than from the exactions of usurious money lenders, and thousands of themare nowin the re- lentless grasp of these greedy and un- serupulous Shylocks, They ask relief in the cnactment of more stringent usury laws, and this the repub- lican party pledges itself to give them, It is also committed in favor of requiring owners of the public elevators and all railroad companies to receive and bandle grain for all persons alike, without diserimination, the charges for storage and inspection to be regulated by the state. The friendly concern of the republican party for the . interests of lubor finds expression in the declarations recogniving the vight of labor to organize for its protection and favoring such a modification of the statutes and the enactment of such laws as will prevent interference with the speedy collection of the wages of labor. With regard to general ques- tions, the convention would, in our judg- ment, have better represented the domi- nant sentiment among the republicans of Nebraska by a move specific declaration r rding the taviff. It is of vital im- portance at this juncture that congress should be clea advised to the wishes of the farmers respocting the tariff, and we are entively confident that the republican convention would have correctly stated tho desire of a very large mnjority of the farmers of No- ska if it had made an unqualified smand for free sugar, lumbor, wool, woolen goods, salt, coal and iron, with porhaps othe in common use. The practically non-committal tarviil plank of the platform furnishes no guide to the ling sentiment of a ma- jority of Nebraska furmers, and will consequently have no influence at Wash- ington, without whieh all reference to the subject might as well have been omitted, The utterances regarding silver, in opposition to land monopoly, in favor of the establishment of a systom of postal telegraphy, and denouncing trusts, are all commendable, As to pensions, THE BEE thinks the nation has dealt most gonerously with the old saldiers, and it doubts the wisdom in the interest of the veterans them- selves, of making further demands which if complied with would add largely to the now heavy pension obligations of the government, but in urging which there is danger of creating an adverse seuti- as 00ds ment that might ultimately be disas- trous to the whole pension system, With the exceptions noted, the plat- form of the Nebraska republicans is a sound and safe declaration of principles meriting the support of the people. VIcE PRESIDENT HOLCOME objects to “attacks on the Union depot,” and ns- serts that the structure will be *‘the finest in the land.” 'Tais will do to tell the marines. Perhaps Mr. Holeomb is not awure of the fact that the Union I clfic company is preparing to erect a de- pot building in Portland. If , it s nge that the company’s architect should be in Portland with plans for a building, which is also to be “the finest in the land.” Portland is a city of sixty thousand inhabitants, Omaha contains one hundred and thirty-four thousand seven hundred, The Portland depot is estimated to cost one million dollars. The cost of the Omaha struct- ure will probably veach n quarter of a million. A comparison of the pictures of both buildings shows that of Portland 10 be superior in size, design, material and ornamentation, and is pronounced Dy the architect to be “the finest west of " THE Bk calls attention to these facts,merely to remind the Union Pacific managers that the company’s overwhelming liberality toward Omaha o o aceurately measuved by tho diffc 80, str Chicago. ence in cost of the Omaha and Portiand | depots. thankfully Simall favors, received.

St. Paul Pioncer-Press, Itis a bad thing in itself, and it is bad as an_example,-that the impression should pre- vail that the ballot is a mere ornamental ap- pendage of the citizen, likea dog cart, to be taken out or kept at home according to the state of the weather. And, while we have so many entitled to vote who regard their duty in this false light, it is a mistake to increase the number by adding to it the entire class which, at the present time, has neither the inclination to perform the duties of citizen- ship nor the opportunity to discharge that duty as it should. It is not probable that the experience of Wyoming as a state will create any boom for fomale suffrage throughout the restof the union. e POLITICAL GOSSIP. In a law enll After looking over the field in politics and combinations, Colonel John Steen has con- cluded that he will not run for land commis- sioner, L. D. Richards of Fremont will be a candi- dato for governor. Mr. Richards does not fearany of the other republican candidates, ernor Ross Hammond s running for pi ary to Governor - Richards, and that he does ot fear defeat. Pete Younger, tho Fremont county nur- seryman, and a most excelleat gentleman, says that aftor all he believes that, ho will not ruu for state treasurer. He understands that Captain Hillis a candidate, andsays that he does mot care to interfere with the Gage county gentleman's plans. 1t is.all over now, the first grand skirmish, and Henry St. Rayner and Dan Osgood have formed some sort of a combination, and neither of them will run for the ofiice of at- toruey general. Joo Esterday, who had Os- good's boom in hand, kuew when to retire gracefully, and it is the fisst time that John- son county did not die on what some call a dead card. While Tom Benton did not get to Kimball in time to deliver his Fourth of July oration, lie did make a little spocch to the audience at the conveution, and the speech showed that if Tom would follow the esample of Demos- thenes and take to the woods and practice orator; Cicero conld not hold a candle to him by nextspring.
