IN ViEW of all the circumstances there seems to have been no special occasion for a socret marringo botween Parnoll and Mrs, O'Shea. Nobody was with- holding consent. " SPEAKING of tho unveiling of a statue of Henry Ward Beecher in Brooklyn brings again painfully to mind that the pedestal of the monument to a groater man than Becchor is not yet comploted in Riversido park, New York, Tre Towa democratic stote convention and campaign was opened with prayer. The campaign will close with cursing, for the lowa democrats are doomed to defeat. No political party in that state i3 strong eaough to carry the weight of the democratic platform. SENATOR PErFEr and ex-Governor Anthony will engago in a joint debate upon the money question at Ottawa, Kan., today. After tho discussion the peoplo of Kunsas will find their bo- whiskered senator as limp as a dish rag. Ho is no mateh for Anthony. THE chairman of the republican state contral committeo has called a meeting of the committee for July 8 to arrange for the state convention, If the railways are not clear daft they will send their attorneys off fishing or hunting about that time, and leave state politics se- verely alone during this campaign. PRESIDENT POLK of the southern al- linnco 15 making very little progross as he swings around the circlo. Ho has dis- covered a tremendous lenk down 1in Missouri which promises to let inenough anti-subtreasury sea to waterlog the craft it not plugged. A convention of alliance people opposed to the sub- troasury nonsense is called at Dallas, Tex., July 10, and Mr. Polk is not proselyting in the north as vizorously as he is kicking against the new faction in the south. SENATOR JORN C. SHEA of this city is dead. Inhis death Omaha loses o good citizen, the bar u respeeted practi- tlonor and the Nebruska senato a cave- ful logislator. To him the city and stato owes the warchouse law to which 80 much of commerciul importanco is attached. It is o measure likely to por- potuate his short term in the legislature in tho gratoful momory of his fellow citizons, & monument to his fidelity and ability of which his friends and family Sy woll bo proud. THE businoss organizations of Omaha who will senda ropresentatives to the Iowa state republican convention at Cedar Rapids next Wednesday to secure the endorsement of the assemblod re- publicans in favor of Omaha as the place of holding the next national convention, should invite tho Council Bluffs organi- zations to appoint a committeo for the same purpose. Bettor still would it bo to create a Twin City delegation. Coun- cil Bluffs has been very enthusiastio over this matter and her interest de- Jorves recognition. SENATOR STOCKBRIDGE says the re- publicaus of Michigan are for Blaine, The senator ought to tell us somothing now. Theso poripatotic senators who go about announcing that the republicans hero and there are for Blaine are grow- ing tiresomo. Everybody knows M. Blaino is a favorite, but most republi- cans aro convinced that he isnot willing t0 be considered as o candidato and can- not see the sense in porsistontly an- nouncing in the same broath that this state and that is for him if he will run, but that ho will not be in the field, THE only way to prevent burglaries and highway robbery is to capture and convict the burglars and robbers. Swift retribution and a vigilant police force are vory discouraging to men who de- pond upon crime for a livelihood, The present police force has performod a great doal of creditable work in the di- reotion of returning stolen goods and arresting thioves. Just about now it has the opportunity agaln to distinguish itself, for the circus has left a tough gong in our midst who are already making nervous people unhappy at night whether at home or on the street. THE 10WA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The platform of the Town democracy abounds with platitudes. It is an elab- orato affalr, ovidently prepared with much deliberation, and for the average partisan is a waste of words, Very lit- tle of it calls for serious consideration. Of course the tariff is denounced, and there {s a verbose recital of reas for the denunciation. One is that it in- creases tho costof the necossaries of life. The farmers of Towa are getting more for what they have to sell than they have received before for a number of years, What articles that they have to buy cost them more than they did o year ago? Sugar is one of the nocossaries, and it is cheaper by nearly 2 cents a pound than before the new law made it fr What does this mean for the people of lowa? There are about four hundred thousand families in that state, and estimating that the annual saving from the reduced price of sugar will average #5 per family, the showing is that the people of Towa ara benefited by this one item of free sugar to the amount of 32,000,000 a year. Do the democrats want to restore the sugar duties, and if not, how do they propose to replace the loss of revenue from the mis- sion of those duties? The platform make no reforence to reci- procity which is directly in the interest of the agricultural produc- ers, and in the promotion of which free sugar pluys an important part. Are the democrats of Towa prepared to sacrifico reciprocity? How is it about other ne clothing, hats, boots and shoes? Who does not know that can be bought as cheaply now. of like quality, as a year ago? The interior department has just concluded contracts for supplying the Indian bureau noxt year, Involving an expenditure of $2,500,000, and nearly everything ex- cept agricultural products was of- fored at a lower prico than la year. On the few articles that are the advance is insignifi- higher cant, and is offsct ten toone by the art People essaries, as theso lower values of other who have practical experienco ing prices know that most of the neces- saries affected by a tariff have not ad- vanced in price since the present law went into effect, and it is a refloction upon the intelligence of voters to assert otherwise. The well informed farmers of Towa cannot be misled by any such misrepresentation. Tho platform favors the free coinage of silver, but whether or not this is in- tended to be understood as unlimited, so as to take in the silver of the world, can- not bo determined from the language At any rate the position antagonizes, the democracy of the east, and will have a very important influence in determining the sentiment of more than one doubtful stato. It would seemn to say . very decisively that the democracy of Towa does not sympa- thize with the views of Grover land regarding silver, and tho of- fect of this can only be to intensify the difforences within the party regarding this question. In view of the fact that the adherents of Governor Boles regard him as an available candidate in the event his tion, for the vice presidency the ticket of 1892, the position ken on the silver question would indicate that they do not expect Mr. Cleveland to be the next candidate of the aemocracy for the presidency. The plank favoring liberal pensions for the old soldiers is conspicuously in- consistent with the denunciation of the appropriations of the last congress, by far the greater purt of which applies to pensions. The insincerity of democrats regarding pension logislation, however, is nothing new, and the old soldiers of Towa will know how to estimato at its true value the professed solicitude for their interests of the Towa democrats, used. A WEAK CANDIDATE, Governor Boios ought to prove to be a weak candidate if the intelligent farm- ers of Towa will seriously consider his course during his brief public eareer. In what respect has he shown himself to be the friend of the producors of the stute? What has he done to advance their interests or promote their wel- fare? In the election of two years ago he received the votes of anti-monopoly vepublicans who distrusted the republi- can candidate. Boles had always pro- fessed to be opposed to the exactions of tho railrond corporations, and it was presumed, although he had changed his party afiiliation, that he still felt that way. Dut the fact is that lowa has never had a governor that proved himself astronger friend of the corporations. They have been entirely safo during his administration, and doubtless they will be found ready to re- pay bis consideration for them by using all their influence for his re-election, confident that if he is continued in office their interests will not be inter- fored with. The farmers of Iowa must also have the fact impressed upon them that Governor Boies has done them injury through his resentations of their condition could repair in a scoro of y devoted to that one purpos here has another instance, so lar as we know, of the governor of a state de- liberately proclaiming to the world the virtunl bankruptey of its people, and practically warning capital that it would be unsafo to have dealings with them, Governor Boies enjoys alone, we bolieve, the unenviable distinetion of having steuck a blow at the prosperity and wel- fare of his state in order to attest the avdor of his partisanship. By way of showing his hostility to republican policy, which buta few years before he approved, Governor Boies did not hesi- tate to in effect advise the eastern in- vestors in Iowa farm mortgages to fore- olose whenever the money due them was not forthcoming. At & time when alarmusts and demagogues wore sending out reports of tho dostitution of westorn farmers and greatly magnifying the mortgagod indebtedness of this section, the governor of lowa told an assomblage of democrats in New York city that the people he represonted were practically insolvent and that their situation was steadily growing worse, thus giv- ing the authority of his high posi tion and his presumed famili- arity with the coundition of af- greater misvep- than he vs zonlously never been THE UMAHA DAILLX B FHRIDAX, fatrs In his state, to the.damaging mis- | ment has proved an unqualified succoss representations of the irresponsible tra- ducersof the west. His course in this matter is without parallel in the bwstory of the country, The unpardonable wrong done the state of Towa in this matter by Governor Boles, together with the undoubted fact that he is the friend of the corporations, ought to insure an overwhelming oppo- sition to him on the part of the farmers and all who are in sympathy with their interests. If he had all the qualities of statesmanship ascribed to him by his most ardent friends they would not out- woigh the faults which render him un- worthy of the confidence and support of an intelligent, industrious and honest people. THE ASYLUM SCANDAL. The board of public lands and build- ings although obstructed fn its efforts by wenknesses in the law and want of funds for this specific purpose are pro- ceeding with the investigation into the management of the asylum for incurable insune at Hastings with commendable vigor. The duplicate vouchers have been tabulated by the board and other clerical discropancies aro ready to be laid before them in systom- atic order so that the existing fa may be readily determined and the explana- tions, if any, of the accused officials offored intelligently. The officers in- volved in the charges have already ap- peared by attorney and have been cited to present themselves in person for examination. ho scan- dalous accusations against the moral behavior of one of the ofticials nre also in possession of the board, with the names of witnesses by whom it is claimed the charges will be proved. The board, under the law, is not e pocted to present any evidence to the governor until after its examination is completed, and its findings have been agreed upon. Within six days after the investigation is comploted, the law makes it the duty of the board to lay the facts und the conclusions of that body be- fore the governor, who is expected to re- view the same and from such review of the evidence determine his course of ac- tion. The board has no authority to impaach or remove officors of the - public institutions, It sits in such cases as a board of inquiry. The governor alone can remove the officiais, and with the gov- ernor therefore rests the final responsi- bility in these cases should the accusa- tions be sustained by ovidenca, The board meets with a serious hindrance at tho threshold of the ex- amination. Iixcopt the $2,000 ap- propriated for a contingent fund to bo used by tho governor of the stato there is absolutely no money available for the investigation of these or any other accusations against officials of the state institutions. It is probable, if the governor were so disposed, a por- tion of this sum could be legally used in paying the oxpenses of this inv tion. Whether the executive thorize its is another quos- tion. Probably not. However, the board may feol entirely safe in pursuing its plain dwy. The next legislature will cheerfully and promptly appropriate moneys for the in- vestigation and will also provide by law for just such investigations as the cir- cumstances now require. The peoplo ave with tho board and will sustain them in thoroughly investi- gating the asylum, no matter what may be its expenso They, will not be satis- fied with anything short of « searching inquiry and it is clearly the purpose of the board to go to tie bottom of all the charges of inefficiency, irregularities, corruption and nastiness which have brought this institution and its ofticers into disropute. use THE Navajo Indians are not involved in the difficulties reported from Koams Canon, Ariz. The Indians at that point are Moquis. They and the Na- vajos are not on speaking terms for two Iirst, because their languages are entively distinet, and socond, be- cause the Navajos, from time immem- orial, huve robbed their little cowardly neighbors. The wars between the tribes have driven the Moquis to the rocky mesas for habitation, though their fields are in tho valleys below. The Moquis are good farmers, The Na stock growers. The tribes aro as dis- tinct as Bedouins from Hottentots, The present show of hostility on the part of the Moquis is surprising, for nothing has hitherto been more terrifying to them than a Navajo, except an American cuvalryman. The medicine men of the tribe are responsible for tho sudden re- sistance of the Moquis. They will not fight. They are merely making their last stand against the policy of the govern- ment, which has forbidden the horrid snake dances, commanded them to place their children in school and make their habitations in the vailoys inatead of on tho rocks. There is po just ground for the rumors that tho - Navajos are acting hostile on account of the Moquis. They would cheerfully assist in annihilating them if called upon so to do. The only nfusing tho two tribes and expressing fewrs of & Na- vajo war is in the fact that the govern- ment has confided the custody of the Moqui reservation and people to the Navajo Indian agent. A war with the Navajos would mean business. Thoy are the best ana bravest of the southwestern tribes. War with the Moquis is fraught with as little danger to the whites as an attack of wolves upon rabbits would be to the wolves. —_— TuE enthusiastio evungellst who 1s now engaged in reforming Omana while his family suffors for the necessities of life will find a passagé of scripture suit- ing his case by roferring to 1 Timothy v-8: “Butif any provide notfor his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.” reasons njos ave TWENT oung ladies g from the teachors’ training school this its first year.
