The present political campaign all over the United States isone of extraordinary interest and importance, Tt Is scarcely loss exciting than a presidentinl canvnss and far surpasses all previous contests in of years. A poculinr combination of local and national lssucs accounts for this situation Everywhere the national issuc be- tween the partics is the McKinley tariff law. Thisis the old battle of protection and free trade, but on both sides the lines more distinetly drawn than ever before. In 1888 the republiean party stood for protection in the ab- stract. Now it stands for a definite, specific effort, embodied in a law that it has put in foree, to upbuild home manu- factures by the absolute prohibition of overy foreign product that can bo made on American soil. The democrats stood in 1888 for tariff revision and reduction, as in 1884 they sood for tariff for revenue only. This year the disguise is thrown off. Free trade s admitted to be the goal, The talk of the stumpandthe news: papers is all for an adjustment of tho ariff that will allow us to cultivate the an market. Protection de- nounced as a humbug. Tholocal issues which throw an ad- ditional elem ent of interest and unc tainty into the fight vary with different states, In Massachusetts it is the state house lobby, In New York it is the Tammany ring. In Pennsylvania it is the rule of the hosses, In Wisconsin it is theschool law, In the south and the west it is the Farmers’ Alliance, and the demand for cortain paternal logislation which shall assist the producers to pros- per. And everywhere itis o year of ex- tmordinavy exctement and doub thul re sults, Allthis is the preliminary skirmish for 1892, Two years henee all loeal is- sues will bo brushed aside. A1l party di ms will be healed. It will be the the republican nst the histori tude of opposition on the pact of the democeats, Tv will be the party of Blaine, Reed and MeKinley against tho party of Cleveland, 1ill and Mills. It isalready plain thatin 1802 we shall have o glorious combat, with results of vast and far-reaching importance to the country, is INE'S CANVASS. No circus is complete without its clown, Nebraska is enjoying the spec- tuelo of o great Tshow this year, with three rings und one tent, and the clown is not lacking. It is the prohibi- tion third party, reprosented by Dr. Painoof Lincoln. Thedoctor is actually making a stomp- ing tour of the state, The weekly press contadns conspicuous announcements of his dates, with the assurance that “the doctor is making votes whorever he speaks.” These notices are doubtless puid for atregular rates, as tho woekly press has generally beon uble to find sat- isfac tory gubernatorial eandidates among the three parties that really have a bueking. But did ever a man enter upon a more needless canvass than Dr, Paine? If the third party ovor had an excuse for exist- ence it was to get the question of prohibition before the people. That question has beon submitted and will be finally and definitely disposel of one weele from next Tuesd: There is no moroe hope that Dr. Paine will be elected on that day than that he will cut aslice of green cheeso from the moon. His present tour is an absolute waste of rail- rvond fu hotel bills and wind, But th is aserious side to it. It is undertuken solely for the purpose of de- foasting the vepublican ticket. The third party has its own peculiar method of exprossing gratitude to the party that redoemed its pledges by submitting the amendment, Their action should bo resented by all republicans possess- g spavk of party pride. They should help to bury the amendment deop in- or- dor to show their contempt for the men who seek in this miserable fashion to kill off tho republican party, Thou- sands of republicans will vote aguinst prohibition for this reason. By thus inflaming the anger of self- vespecting ropublicans, Dr. Paine muy do hiscountry aser It is the only light in which his eandidacy appears re- spoctable. THE OHIO CAMPAIGN. Interesting political campaigns are general this year, but none is attracting groater attontion than that in Ohio, which is being fought on both sides with the groatest possiblo rigor and earnest- nes The mightest eflorts of both parties are, of course, concentrated upon the congress districts, and of these the Sixtaenth, in which Major MeKinley and Mujor Warwick confront each other, is tho seane of the fiorcest political bat- tlo ever fought in that state. The demo- entie logislature in its gerrymander constituted this district of four counties only one of which is surely republican, the other three having given democratic pluralities two yoars ago, on the basis of which the distriet is safely democratic by over two thousand plurality, Against these great odds Major McKin loy is carrying on a fight with the rigor and earnestness chavactevise of him, and suwh distinguished re- publicans ~ as Speaker Reed, Sonator Sherman, General Alger, and Secretary Blaine have come or are tocome tohis assistance. The demo- crats are carrying on an equally ag- gressive battle with Governor Hill of Now York, Sennwor Carlisle and Con- grossman Mills as distinguished cham- pions of their eause. Ravely has a con- tost for congress boen participated in by 80 many eminent political leaders on hoth sidos, and whatever the result the contost will loug be memorablo in the wolitical history of Ohio and of the coun- ty. Of course the chances ave against Mo- Kinley, buthis success is by no moeans s0 improbublo s the large democratio plurality based on the vote of two years ago of the counties composing the dis- triet would Indicate. There is reason to boliove that in the one swe republican county tho republican vote will be largely incroased, while it is bolieved that In two of the olose coun- tlos the demooratio vole will bo reduced. The one county that 1s cortaln for the democricy by & | before tho rogisteation boards. large plurality is very likely, however, toshow a gain for that party that will | offset the ropublican gains in the other counties. Still the friends of McKinley are hopeful, and if the powerful aid of men as Blaine, Reed and Sherman produces the effect reasonably to be ex- pected from it, there is reason for the confidence of the republicans. The su coss of Major McKinley under the cir cumstances would be one of the most notable of political victories, and would be highly gratifying to republicans where, It would also have a very marked effect upon the future political fortunes of Mr. McKinley, who would take a very prominent place inthe list of possible presidential candidates. suc THE LE It is conceded by all candid men that the republican legislative ticket in Douglas county is as a whole far supe- rior to the democratic ticket. It is more largely composed of men of practical af- fairs and experience, and who have a di- reet und substantial interest in the pro- gress and prosperity of Omaha and of the country, Compare the tickets man with man, and in the essential qualifica- tions of intelligence, capacity and char- ter the advantage is very decidedly with the republican candidates, It goes without vz that this ity and county ought tobe represented in the next legislature by men who are fa- miliar with the local requirements, and who have the ability o properly present and advoeato them. It is no less n sary, in order that required legislation may be obtained, that our repro- sentatives shall b in political sympathy with the majority party inthe noxt legisluture, which it is presumed noone doubts will be republican. The people of Douglas county should profit by the experience in the last legislature ofthe disadvantages of being represented by delegation most of whom were in the minority, A number of important mensures relating to the interests and welfaro of this section will be brought to the attention of the next legislature, and inorder that they shall be successful they must have the advoeacy of local representatives of ability and influence who aro in affiliation with the dominant party. The republican legisla di- dates in this county are with xeop- tions well known to repubiicansthrough- out the state, and they are popular and capable. There ean be no doubt that if elected they will look intelligently and carcfully after the interests of Omaha, 1l Douglas county, and will be able to accomplish much more than could pos- sibly bedone by u demoeratic delega- tion. Regarded solely from a practical point of view, it is obviously of the highest importance that Douglus county shall be represonted in the next logislaturo by republicans, and by reason of their con- ceded superior qualifieations there ought tobenodoubt regarding the election of the republican candidates. 08~ WHILE cortain political proachors wore giving currency to fabrications concerning the people of Omaha, and wasting their energies in secking tho unattainable, a meeting was held at the same time in another portion of the city for the purpose of devising ways and means of rendering practical aid to suffering humanity. It wis a meeting of Methodists called to perfeet plans for the erection of a hospital, and the in- torest manifested gives reasonable assurances that the beneficent move- ment will be a success, The object of both meetings pre- sent a striking contrast, The first seoks by law to cure the ills the flosh is heir to. To apply a constitution- al poultice to a disesse s old as the world, and watchin vain for a revolu- tion of the hubits and appetites of man- kind. No kindly hand is held out or Kkindly word spoken to assist struggling natures, They would save themselves tho physical exertion by enacting *‘you must,” whilo the opportunities and tomptations increase ten-fold. The sec- ond ignores statutory cure-alls and lays a broad foundation for practical benevo- lonce. They realize that laws cannot work miracles, that the afMicted require help, and they proposo to render it by building and maintaining an institution that will refleet credit on the church and bonefit all whom necessity calls within its walls. It is stated on the authority of the as- sistant secretary of the treasury that no steps have officially been taken to ar- range our differences with France and many over tho pork question. So faras tho assistant seeretary knew the subject had not received any considera- tion from the ecabinet, and it is undor- stood that it will be held in abeyance until the treasury officials can adjust tho new tarift bill, which is occupying all of thespare time of those officials. The meat inspection law gives the president power, in the of his discre- tion, to excluio certain products of France and Germany in the event that they persist in discriminating against American meats, as thoy are now doing, but of course the president will not use this authority until all means of diplomacy fail to induce those governments to revoke their prohibitory regulations against our pork products From the disposition manifested in France it would not be surprising if that country adheredto its present policy, but the outlook is more favorablo with regard to Germany, owing to the popu lar demand in that country for the ro- moval of the restrictions! It is prob- able our government will take action 160king to formal negotintions on this subject before the close of the y I¥ tho republican party was to blamo for thirteen cont comn w year ngo, it ought by the same loglo to have eradit for the forty cent corn of today.

Honored und 1by the rank and file of the party, Felker owes it to his fricnds who stood by him in the convention, to repel the over- tares of the usurpers and uphold the banner of democracy placed in his hands by the as- sembled leaders of the party in Dougles county.
