Tue Itata is again afloat in the har- bor of Sun Diego. She is also striving to make her presence felt in the news- papers. Tho Itata is, however, very much like an anclent bird’s nest. There isone consolation about her reappearance in print: The old jokes are too atten- tuated to bear up under the strain of a ropetition. MAYOR CUSHING can greatly improve his administration and make the board of public works espeeially creditable to tho city by selecting an honest, capable and energetic republican citizen for member of that board. The board should be non- partisan at least to the extent of contain- ing members from both the groat politi- cal partios. Old citizens will rend with somo ap- prohension the story that a train on the Denver oxtension of the Rock Island road was stopped by a column of grasshoppers five milos in width the other day. 1In 1876 and for a fow yvears proceding, such ovents were possible in Nobraska and no one who recalls the grasshoppe them again, days, cares evor to seo GENERALLY spoak not intel- lectual perspiration which leads a pub- lic man to wear a shirt without a collar. It is just as generally not the natural exudation of honest exercise in the shop or the field. The politician who goes without a collar desives to pose asa friend of the working classes. He banks on an eccentricity as transparent as it is ill-favored. The Kunsas board of railrond asses- sors reduced the valuation of the rail- ways of tho state $10,000,000, It were better for the assessors if a millstone were hung about their necks and that they were cast into the midst of the sea. The alliance and- peoples’ parties are making existenco a nightmare to them and they have used 20,000 words in try- ing to explain why this action was taken, — DETROIT 15 making great preparations for the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic which oc- curs the first week in August. Lincoln is awako to the fact that within another month the place for the encampment of 1802 will be selected. She is bending her energies with her accustomed vigor and enterprise toward securing tho prize. It will be hers, too, if the veterans ean be brought to understand her special advantagos before they commit them- solves to some other eity. AMERICA mistake in made a tiating the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo in 1848 when she failed to secure a part nego- at least of the Gulf of Californin. Na- tuve is just now apparently attempting to correct this error for us by turning the gulf into its old bed north of the Maxican line. If naturesucceeds, this country should proclaim aday of thanks- giving, for she will wipe out the last vestige of the more or less mythical American desert and render fortile and habitable a vast region iu the south- wast, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SDAY, JULY 7, 180t THE 10WA CAMPAIGN, The position taken by the Iowa repub- licans on national questions has been cordially commended by the republican pross of the country. To this extent the platform is a clear and sound enun- clation of republican principles, show- ing that tho purty in Towa is still firm in the faith and has the courage of its convictions, The requirements now are thorough organization and aggrossive work. The fight must be waged con- stantly and vi Thera should bo ropublican clubs organized everywhere. There is no more effective way than this for putting life and activity into n campaign and keeping the popu- lar mind engaged in the consideration of political issues. A club composed of intolligent, energetic and earnest men is continually at work and is a center of political information and influence of grent value to a varty. Campaign doc- uments have their worth, and it is im- portant to disseminate them freely, but the good they do is not comparable with the benefits to be obtained from active ously clubs, Undoubtedly the republican leadors in Towa approciate the fact that the party has a hard fight before it, and that in order to win it must have perfect organ tion. This ought not to be dif- ficult of attainment, but the sooner the work is entered upon the better, because the tion is not likely to delay its proparations, and it will not lack out- side help both in advice and in more substantial aid. Towa must be carried by the republi- cans this year, and it will be if the right offort is put forward and v maintained. The ticket is one of the strong Wd most popular ever pre- sented to the voters of the state, every man on it being entitled to the respect and confidence of the people. The con- vention most proporly, out of sideration for the proponderance the agricultural vote, selectod pr tical and representative farmers as can- didates for governor and lieutenant gov- ernor. Both of those ntlemen have been for many years identified with the agricultural interests of Towa and are in sympathy with every reasquable and just demand of the agricultural ¢ L The farmers of the country are demand- ing, and rightly so, that they shall re- ceive more consideration from the old rties than has herotofore been ac- cordod them. The republicans of Towa ve met this demand, while the demo- crats ignored it and renominated a law- yer to head their ticket. Manifestly the farmers, in order to bo true to themselves, must support the hon- orable and worthy men of their own class whom the ropublican party has »PO: rously coa- of prosented for thoir suffrages. Thoy cannot permit these farmer candidates to be dofeated without stultifying thom- solves and weakening their claim to futuro consideration in making up a tickot. But the result will depend very groatly upon the moeasure of wisdom and skill on the part of the leaders in the work of organizing the party. If this is well and thoroughly done the success of the ropublican party can be safely predicted. ILLNE. MR, BLAIN SS. Theo latest information regarding the illness of Seeretary Blaine is of a nature to warrant the most serious approhen- sion. Most of tho reports sent out rep- resenting his condition to bo alarming were believed to bo groundless, and pos- sibly some of them were manufactured by sensational correspondents, but in the light of what appears to be trustworthy information it would seem that the phy sicians have etther been themselves mi led or were misleading the public. It is sinceroly to bo hoped that the later re- ports, which represent Mr. Blaine as being afflicted with Bright’s dis: easo and instance the most alarm- ing symptoms, are erroncous, and that it will be found that the anxious friends of the distinguished statesman who are given as authority have taken counsel of their fears, but it is almost impossible not to believe that Mr. Blaine is a very sick man, with the chances largely against his ever resuming his public duties. The loss of Secretary Blaine to tho servico of the country at this time would be a great calamity. There is no other man in public lifs, except perhaps tho president, who could not better be spared. The great work with which his name is identitied, and properly so, sinco ho first presented the plan of Amer can reciprocity when a member of Garfield’s cabinet, is but partly accom- plished, and it would not be an eas, matter to tind another who could take it up and carry it forward with equal suc- cess. Itis in the performance of this work that Secretary Bianine has estab- lished the claim to bw regarded as one of the greatest of American stutesmen, and while what has been done marks out plainiy what is yot to be accom- plished, it would be a very great mis- fortune if Mr. Blaine were compelled to surrender the into other hands. Even if it were prosecuted on the lines he has marked out, the loss of his com- manding intluence would bo a less sarious drawback Me, iine has had a most laborious experienc stary-of-state, and he has broken down under the great and task more or 18 s incessant strain, Unfortunitely, how- ever, it is to be feared that rest alono will not restore him, ov at least not to an oxtent that will enabie him to resume his ofticial duties. Mr. Blaine was neve stronger than ho is now in the respect and confidence of the American people. RECIPROCITY WITH ¢ ANADA. According to the arrangement made with the representatives of the Canadian governmont, negotiantions looking to a treaty of reciprocity between the United States and the Dominion will be entered upon next October. The correspondence rocently made public relating to the pro- posed negotiations disclosed something of the feeling of the Washington admin- istration on the subject of reciprocity with Canada, from which it was made evident that negotiation would be use- loss on the lines proposed by the Cann- dian government. Sonator William E. Chandler of Noew Hampshire, ina recont interviow, said regarding this question that he wus inclined to hopo that Presi- dent Harrison will meet the Canadian commissioners with an offer to recom- mend to congress that, if Canada will { tinal sottloment adopt substantially the United States tariff against European products, this country will admit Canadian products of ery deseription free of duty, the Cang dinns to admit all United tes pro- ducts free, Completo reciprocity, said Senator Chandler, and substantial com mereial union are the broad idens, the wisdom of which cannot bo doubted. The senator, however, recognized the that it will require much persuasion to induce American farmors along the border to consent to the admission of Canadian agricultural products free of duty. Itis very probable that the hope exprossed by Senator Chandler reflects knowledge of the intention of the administration, which has given it to bo understood with sufficiant clearness that 1t does not intend to waste any time discussing reciprocity on the basis of the last treaty arrangement that it would be possible to construct on such a foundation would have the least chance of acceptance by the American people. Jut is the Canadian government likely to offer or accept anything more favora- ble? Probably not, and certainly nosuch proposition as Senator Chandl gosts would receive sorious conside: tion at thistime. There is a very consid- erable body of the Canadian people who would favor the policy of substantial commercinl union indicated by the New Hampshire senator, but the majority would oppose an arrangement so hostile to English commer , and there is not the least reason to supposo that the present government of Canadn would give it & moment’s consideration. The existing conditions are not favor- sug - able to commercial union with Can- ada, or porhaps to any sort of trade arrangement in the na- ture of reciprocity. The American farmers, not only those on the borders, but everywhere, are pretty well satis- fied with the present state of affairs which keeps out the farm products of Canada, and the Canadian manu- factur on the other hand, do not desire the markets of the Dominion thrown open to the free admission of the manufactured products of the United States, Commercial union, or some liboral plan of reciprocity, will probably come in time, but it will not be attained while the conditions in the two countries, economic and political, vemain as at present. OMAMA has an excellent system of schools. It is fully abreast of the growth of the city. The teaching and directing forces of the schools are certainly en- titled to no small measure of credit for their splendid condition. There is room for improvement in particular direc- tions, but in general the Omaha schools are equal to the best in similar citios throughout tho country. It is highly important that they shall maintain their ood reputation and improve in thor- oughness of instruction as well as grow in numbers and facilities. To continue ood and grow better, the schools must have oxcellent supervision and close at- tention to details. It will not do to try any oxperiments of supervision nor to elect any man of questionable ability as superintendent. It will be a mistake for which the schools will suffer, to put in the office of secretary a man whoso instincts are all low, who is an inter- moddler by nature, a political parasite, and who cannot properly speak the languago which the schools are ex- pected to teach. And it will likewise be a mistake to place in charge of the buildings and grounds any man whose integrity is not beyond question and whose moral character is not above veproach. No ward politician, however competent he may be, should be allowed to use the school department to advance his per- sonal or political ends. No ward bum- mer should be allowed to get his hands into the school fund or manipulate any of tho school oftices or oficers either for boodle or political purposes. A CONSCIENCE which approves of preaching in Omaha without pay while the preacher’s family in Lincoln i» suf- fering tor want of creature comforts is not built for this state of existence. However elegant and numerous may be the treasures lnid up for wife and little ones in the next world, they will not satisfly mundane hunger or embellish the tabernacle of flosh. In this practical age no man is justified in fishing in tho slums for the souls of sinners while those whom he has sworn to support are skirmwishing for food and failing to find it. The good evangelist whose wife appealed to him so patheticatly for food, shelter and clothing, will prove himsell far more worthy of confidence if he shall abandon his Omaha labors and devote himself to bread winning. The exhortation of Paul in his epistle to Timothy is a good sensible text und the evangelist should commit it to memo meditate upon it and apply it to his life and religion.

Tho Omaha Bre calls upon tho state board of transportation to tako action in tho matter of reducing vailroad rates. T'ho Beg's article is thnely and to the point. Tho large crop will soon begin to move and if ever the farmers noaded a fair and just rate and & reliof from railroad oxtortfon it is now. An effort was mado lust wintor to pass & maxi- mum freight bill 1 anticipation of such a condition as now confronts tho farmers of Nebraska. It failed, howover, and o largo portion of the prosent crop will bo absorbed by the railronds unless the board of transportation take imme- diate action. A refusal to comply with tho demands of the people will doubtloss bo fol- lowud with diro consequences to the party in power and the corporations owning the roads. Unless a disposition Is shown to carry out the expressed wishes of the people in this matter tbe railroad rato question will become an issue before tho people. and the outcome while hard to predict at present will certainly not bo favorable to the corpo- rations. The board of transportation has it in its power to reduce tho existing rates toa fair and equitable basis, and tho existonce of the party and the futuro welfare of tho roads depends largely upon the action of the board. PRACTICAL BENEFITS, Give ‘What the Last Conziress Accom- plished for the Farmers, Senator Paddock of Noebraska briofly sum- marizes in the New York Recorder the splen- did work of the republicans in congress in protecting and furthering the agricultural interests of the country as follows: THE PARTY AND THE FARMERS, The western farmer reads and thinks, He is & patron of the newspaper, tho school and the church. Ordinarly he refuses to take his politics at second hand, any more than he does his ideas on finance or on economics which most nearly affect his neighborhooa interests. But he is honest, and he tries to be fair. He makes up his opinions according to his information and is ready to give rea- sons for his faith. If he has a keen regard for self-interest be probably does not differ in this respect from the merchant, the manu- facturer or the professional man. It is for these very reasons that I am confi- dent that the western farmer will not refuse adbesion to the republican party when he has carefully and honestly studied ™ tho rk of the last congress. Controlled and dirccted by republicans under a splendidly officient republican administration, it hewed more closely to the line of promised lagislation than essors, No congress within my recollection has worked more faithfully to redecm party pledges or has accomplished greater results for the general welfare in the lines of stimulating production, opening new outlets for trade and paying tho honest debts of the nation. In no cougress since the in- ception of our government have the iutorests of the great agricultural cluss received tho same conscientious attention which they did from tne Fifty-first congress. The upbuilding of the department of agri- culture was one of its first cares. It has been made something more than a seed-sampling institution. Today it is second to the Smith- souian institution, a ereat laboratory of prac- tical science, the effects of whose labors are felt on field and farm and rauge, at every stockyard and great slaughter house, at every shipping point and port of entry, day by day disproving the malicious lies of foreign com- peximrsu?ma American agriculturist and stock man, and breaking down the barriers which have proventod the expansion of our trade 1n meat products. The Fifty-first congress mado this possiblo, Its laws providing for the inspection of live cattle for export, for tho inspection and tag- ging of cattle carcasses, were supplemented by the most important of 'ull, & measure which gives government guarantee of tho frecdom from trichini of every pound of pork which leaves our shoves, The daily increasing ex- ports of meats tell the story of results Through the efforts of the rejuvenated agri- cultural department pleuro-pucumonia has been stamped out and Texas fever has been held in rigid quarantine. Millions of dollars vearly will not represent the savings to the American farmer due alone to the work of the Fifuy-first congress. The reciprocity amendment to the tarift law, itself the conception of the most brilliant statesman of the day, will stand forever as a republican achievement in whose magnificent results the western farmer will share largely. It has demonstrated the wisdom of its author and the folly of its partisan foes, It has openod & way for the expansion of trado without the destruction of home industry, and indicated a method by which the policy of protection may be preserved witnout ad- heronee to the thcorics of extremists, The Fifty-first congress met the demands of the west for a move liberal construction of the land laws in tho interests of honest homesteaders and for the fultillment on the part of the government of its pledges to re- imburse the suffercrs from Indian depreda- tious. Its senate, by resolution, caused an in- vestigation by the interstate commerce com- mission, which resultea in a roduction on grain rates from the far west. It opened th way for a study of irrigation problems in the avid regions, provided liberally for keeping open and imbroving western waterways of smmercial nocessity, and laid the founda tion fora work of tremendous national as well as western importance —the Heruepin ial. Not unmindful of the demands for a more use of silver and the maintenance of at national product, it provided et for the cutire production of our and a corresvonding increaso in the & medium by certificates issued on kot value of tho bullion, mines, cirenlat the basis of the ma “T'he efforts of the republican congress wero strongly bulkwarked by a conscientious and efticient republican administration. 1 do not. beliove that the western tarmer, naturally republican, born and living in & section whoso settiement, upbuilding and freo nsti- tutions are the result of A storm and stress for which republican effort in the forum and republican valor on the field were primarily ssponsible, will overlool the record of its past and the splendid vitality of its present. - UNCLE JOE'S PHILOSOPHY, M.
