GENTLEMEN who make railway rates for the trans-Missouri region, you will be putting money into the trensuries of your several roads if you will re-estab- lish the harvest excursion ticket in busi- ness. —— THERE are 50,000 tinplate makers in Wales out of employment. Major Me- Kinley will not visit Wales on his next tour of the continent. He prefers to wait until these skilled laborers are making American tin plate. THE sugar beet people at Norfolk are pleased with their Indian laborers in the fields. The fact is rapidly dawning upon thoe aboriginal mind that work is honorable when it is profituble. It is also becoming plain to the whito man that his red brother will work if paid for it. KANSAS alliance men learned one les- son from the democrats, and that is only to fuse when it will give the alliance control. Democrats are everywhere non-partisan when in the minority and fusionists when by fusion they gain something not otherwise possible of at- tainment.

Tomorrow the board of public lands and buildings will probably resume itsin- vestigations into the management of the Hastings asylum for incurable insane, The expert accountant who has been en- aceounts of the in- stitution will, it is hoped be ready to report. The board is devoting a great deal of time to the investigation and it is reasonable to suppose the inquiry has been as searching as possible with the accused parties in undisturbed posses- sion of all the books and papers and in charge of the asylum. The facts alrendy developed concern- ing which there s not a shadow of question establish the unfit- ness of both Test and Liver- nghouse for their positions. Throwing out all evidence to which they have de- murred or offered rebutting testimony the fact remains that they have dupli- cated vouchers, wilfully deceived the board of public lands and buildings in regard to the financial condition of the asylum, paid exorbitant prices for goods on the last day of the quarter when th knew that the same articles could be purchased the day following for half the money, and have neglected their duties in very many other important particulars, Conceding, for argument’s sake, that all of immorality intentional irregularvities 1n financial transactions, actual appropriation of funds to their own uses, cruelty to in- mates and other corrupt transactions are t proved, the fact remains that they are untrustworthy, ineflicient and incom- petent. This is enough of itself to war- ranton the part of Governor Thayer their summary discharge. The fact is, however, that almost every specification of the general charges have been established beyond a reasonuble The nsylum management has been shown to be rotten to the core charges as to personal character, businoss integ- rity and oxecutive ability. The sconer they are disposed of the better it will be for the state, the republican party and the institution. WEALTH IN THE SOIL. An eastern paper, noting the fact that the first bushel of new wheat braught into the eastern markets sold for one dollar a bushel, remarks that it is quite probable that the European demand will be strong enough to make nearly a dol- lar the ruling price on the western farm, in spite of the large supply of from 525,000,000 to 575,000,000 bushels which is%expected. Itis estimated that Great Britain, France, Germany, Holland and Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portugal, will require above the homo supply about 400,000,000 bushels. Some 180,000,000 bushels or more must come from the United States, which will be about the extent of our surplus. High prices may somewhat reduce consumption, but it is more prob- able that the price of wheat will be maintuined at 81 to the farmer than fall materially below that price. It is not difficult to realize what this will mean in added wealth to the great wheat producing section of the countr Hundreds of millions of dollars are as sured to the western farmers within the ensuing year from this one product, and if there be added the value of ail other products of the soil the total will mount up to figures great- er than those which express the debt of the nation. Tt is a mighty sum which the tillors of the soil bring annually to swell the wealth of the counfry, and rhe promise is that the contribution of this year will be unprecedented. The day of the agri- cultural producer, or at any rate of the American producer, is evidently at the | He | at by proxy but | hand, and the most intelligent opinion is that it will open s prolonged era of prosperity. The significant fact that the population of the world is growing much faster than the wheat producing area warrants the view that the time of low and unprofitable prices for breadstuffs has passed, and that the successful farmer will horeafter obtain a fair roward for his labor. The realizn- tion of this will mean an increased pros- perity for all interests and material pro- gress in every direction. Already the promise of abundant harvests is having agood effect upon the business and the confidence of the country, foreshadowing a roturn of activity and enterprise along all linos It is in the soil and in the in- dusiry of those who cultivate it that America still has tho greatost resources of wealth and power. A FRUITLESS CONTROVERSY. The question whether Prosident Lin- coln favored or was opposed to tha re- nowmination in 1864 of vice-president Hamlin cannot be said to be determined by the somewhat acrimonious contro- vorsy that has been carried on between Colonel McClure of the Philadelphia Zimes and Mr. Nicolay, who was the private socretary of Mr. Lincola, Opin ions differ, and ave likely always to dif- fer,as to who has the advantage in the discussion, excopt, perhaps, in the matter of 1invective, in which respect the editor is easily ahead. The origin of the dis- pute was a statement of Colonel McClure that Mr, Lincoln, while feeling personally feiondly to Mr. Hamlin, did not think his nomination would be good policy, and suggestod to his intimate political friends, of whom McClure wus | one, that it would be wisor for several | cogent reasons to nominate n well-known southern man like Andrew Johnson, Mr. Nicolay took issue with this state- | ment, which wus in direct conflict with what he had statad in his biography of Lincoln, und asserted that it wus the do- sire of Lincoln that Hamlin should be ronominated. There can be no question regarding the intimate and confidentinl relutions that existed botween President Lincolv and Colonel McClure, at that timo a leading republican of Pennsylva- nia, and his statemsnts must be regarded as circumstantial evidence of the strong- est character. Mr, Nicolay, on the othe hand, produces what he alleges to be written evidence In support of his state- went that Mr. Lincoln wus not opposed to the renomination of Hamlin, and Col- onel John Hay, who wus assistant pri- vatosecrotary and one of the hiographers of Lincoln, corroborates Nicolay to the extent of saviug that Lincoln with- The ofticers have been clearly impeached | { the department of the held all opinion caleulated to influence the action of the Baltimore convention of 1864, There fs another incidental contributor to the controversy who had | superior opvortunity to know something | of the inside of the situation at that time, Mr. Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, and his testimony is in the main favorable to McClure. Mr. Dana plainly affirms that the selection of Andrew Johnson was due to Mr. Lincoln. Just before the meeting of the Baltimore convention neral Daniel E. Sickles As sent on a mission to Tennessee, and it has been as- sumed that the object of this was to pave the way for the nomi- nation of Johnson, but General ler disposes of this by saying his mission was rather diplomatic than politieal, and although his reports may have had somo bearing on the selection of Johnson, he did not go to Tennessee as an am- sador to arrange the matter. Gen- eral Sickles says he never heard Presi- dent Lincoln express himself on tho subject of tho vice-presidency, and further, that he shrank from an avowal of his own candi This is the evidence thatcan be con- sidered of any ue so far produced, and obviously it does not settle the question in controversy. It will doubtiess always remain unsottled. One thing, howaver, . is conclusively established, and that is that Mr. Lincoln’s attitude in the matter was entirely honorable and straightforward, that in those momentous days preceding the conven- tion of 1 when some of the most powerful republican leaders were in open or secret hostility ‘to him, he bore himself with that perfect unselfishness and that lofty devotion to the country which are his highest claim to imper- ishable glory. THE s anew source of dissatis- faction with the Chinese of California. According to a San Francisco paper they have mastered the art of canning fruit and have gone into the business themselves as omployers instead of em- ployes. The canners are making an outery that they will bs ruined by Chinese competition, anl the S Francisco paper tells them it serves them right. that having employed Chinese labor in preferencs to white labor because ‘it was cheapor, and only dispensed with it when it bosama more costly and less efficient than white help, they have no right to complain if tho Chiness be- come employers when they can no longer be wage earners. It also says there is no help for the mattor, as there is 1o power to pravent the Chineso frem doing this business and they will be able to getall tho frpit they can pay for. The situation, says the San Francisco paper, appears to be a cloar case of greed and Lust for gain overreaching itsolf and now suffering the consequences. The rebuke is doubtless justified, but apart from this the complaint of the canners is eutitled to no sympathetic consideration. They are a very poor lot if they cannot sue- cessfully meet Chinese competition, or even overcome it if there is not room in the field for both. CERTAIN members of the board of ed- ucation have been for some two years unveservedly opposed to the re-election of the present superintendent of schools. Presumably they have been for two years seeking a competent successor. Others have favored achange for a shorter period,but are equally convinced it is necessary to the well-being of the schools. Nevertheless the time for electing a man to the position has ar- rived and these people are not sure who deserves their support. Some men are politicians everywhere to the extent at least of holding themselves open to conviction up’ to the last moment. Some men are never candid enough to take a position upon any important pend- ing proposition until forced to act. Itis absurdity-itself for intelligent men to sny they are not sure whom they should support for superintendent after two years of investigation and two years of determination to bring about a change. Sensible people very naturally wonder how much time these gentlemen need to make up their minds upon a question which shouid be settled without further delay. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN Omaha’s ec- centric but faithful friend, left two thou- sand circulars descriptive of Omaha upon the top of the pyramids in Bgypt. Hereafter the English speaking tourist will take a bird’s eye view of our great and growing city from the topmost rock of Cheops. Omaha shakes hands with the forty past centuries as it were and complacently turns from the great use- loss pile of ancient rocks to the marvel- ous results of thirty-five years of modern enterprise as rovealed in her own growth and resources. FRANCE is indignant at Americans for sending to Paris 5o many million bottles of cotton seed oil to ba sold as olive oil, and will put a atop to the trafiic. France should not forget. that we are drinking hogsheads of French light wines in this country made from California dried grapes shipped by tho ton to Bordeaux for thut purpose. It will take us a long time to got even with the French for the deceit practiced upon us from the canned peas to the French cook. G RAL BROOKE, in command of Platte, is in charge of the largest number of troops in any military department of the United States. The general’s friends feel very naturally that in reorganizing the mili- tary departments the commander of this department was shown a mark of special consideration. He is not a major gen- eral, but his military force is larger than that of General Miles or General Howard. —— A MEETING of the secret labor party is announced for Sunday afternoon. The secret is how the members of the party manage to exist without labor. The other is what means can be adopted to make the services of the alleged loaders of the party valuable under the new bal- lot law. Omha and H Hislena Jowrnal, 7t The Journal printed in its issue of Satur- day an editorial from Tuk Oxana Bek w which a wost approciative spirlt was shown concerning tho, resources of Montans, and a decided \fil?\mlum for o railroad to connect Omaha dirootly with this city. Our citizens weres duly impressed with this exhibition of friendliness on the part of the roat oty down the Missouri, and set to work at onee tdkive force and direction to the ideas expressed in Tie Bre, by inviting & conforence, Accordingly, Mayor Kiei sehmidt and ex-Mayor Bradford, in his ca- pacity as prosident.of the Commercial club, yesterday forwarded the subjoined telegram: *“To the Editor' 6f Tie Bre, Omahs, Neb. The citizens of Helona reciprocate your ex- prossions favorable to bettor railroad commu- nication, which means an exchange of Mon- tana gold and cattle for Nebraska corn and pork. Its mayor anda Commercial club cor- dially mvite a visit from your representative business men to tne richest cty in tho world." It might, perhaps, have been as woll to omit the rather exuberant boast in the last phrase; but that embodics & groat truth which the poorest Holenaito has no com- punctions egainst telling. The benofits to bo derived from a closer union of Helena and Omaha woull pe mutual to both places, and there is no doubt that in a very brief period from the time direct communication is established, these benefits will be very great. Omaha soes it, and tnis dispatoh is proof positive that our busivoss men have not been slow to discorn it, There is a cheery note in the tidings that the western terminus of the Burlington is now but four hundroed miles from Helena and being quietly pushed in this direction. There can be but one meaning to this, and every- body knows that that meaning is another through lino of railroad to Helena beforo another year has passed. There is a gorgeous queen in the moun- tains whose name is Helena, and all tho world is coming to woo her. e ot ey Bookwalter as a Philanthropist. Cincinnatt Commercial Gazette, Mr. John Bookwalter, who owns 60,000 acros of land in Towa, proposes the inauguration of a very interesting scheme. His life, until he was 23 years old, was ona farm, and h~ claims that the principal cause of discontent among farmers,young and old, is isolation and lonotiness, Ho sucgests that farm houses be built in small villages or settlements, with ample grounds, yet near one another—not morothan a third of a mile apart at the furthest, with the farm lands surround- ing or conveniently near. Mr. Bookwalter bhaving got the 1dea abroad, has, indeed, started such a settlemon® in Pawnee county, Nebrasks. It will have a free circulating library, a town hall. a school, of course, and perhaps a church or two. The idea is wholly practicable, since many western far mers now live in villages, where also reside persons en- gaged in othor cmplovments. Perhaps if farmers in older states would get more closely together for the enjoyment of advan- tages mads possibls by & community of inter- ests, they and thoiv families would bo more contented and happy. The Fight Against Quay. Harper's Weekly, The value of tho action in Pennsylvania lies in 1ts political indopendence. It is a common saying that we musc support meas- ures, not men. But what does it moan? May a prohibitionist support a toper if ho should receive the regular nomination? Such apo- thegms are foolish except when they aro reasonably interproted, Intelligent rapub- licans in Pennsylvania did not agroe that tho objects which they sought as republicans re- quired them to voto for Quay's man. They are still of that opinion. So long as they hold it and are required to prove their repub- licanism by supporting Quay, directly or in- diroetly, they will decline to give the proof, and so long, according to the Philadelphia Press, the republican party will be beaten. sl rninst on. Chieazo Herald (dem ) It is now stated that the democrats of Kan- sas will nominate tickets in all tho counties of the state, and that this break will prevent fusion on the presidential ticket next year. This is not to be regretted. If the people of Kansas desire to be delivered from the Mc- Kiuley spoilors they know what to do; they have ouly to support the caudidate of the pazty which enters the field as the enemy of the spoilation system. In the meantime let that party preserve its integrity and dignity. The Car Stove's Substitute.

Now, to bo consistent, thoy should take that anti-trust plank out of their platform, Chicago Times: The farmers who aro planning to organizo a little cornor of their own should pause awhilo and refloct that it is sometimes easier to get into a corner than to get out again. Glove-Domoorat: Even if all American wheat growers should unite in the scheme this year they would be hurt uitimately, be- cause the “‘combine” would so oxtend wheat production abroad that the outside world would soon be independent of the United States altogether in this respect, and this would send prices far below their present level. \.J Chicago Herald: It may reasonably be doubted whether the farmers' organization can succeed in cornering the markot for any great length of time any botter than the pro- fessional speculators who have made study of the whole field. No doubt they can_pro- duce an artificlal searcity for the time being if they can bo induced to act together in great numbers, but they will probably be defeated in the long run, as the professionals usually are. Chicago Tribuno: Tt is to be prosumed that no rational man will deny the right of the farmer to obtain the highest prices for the grain he has to sell, or that ho has the same right to combine with his follow-farm- ers to that ond as the members of trados unions in the cities nave to strike for higher wages and fix “minimams.” But they should be reminded they would do this at their own risk, and could mot biame othors if the scheme should prove a partial or com- vlete failure, Chicago News: Neodloss to say, tho possi- bility of a vast “corner” in wheat in the in. terost of the farmors and conducted by ther selves Is too chimerical for sobor expecta tion except by visionary enthusiasts. Such *cor- ners” are possible on a limited scalo only to aggregations of capital such as the farmers could not control. But asido from tho im practicability of the scheme it is derogatory to the farmers’ organizations to even attempt it. To create famine prices for food supply in the interest of any one class, howerer de serving, accords but ill with the professions of devotion to the common good that form 3o conspicuous & plank of the farmors' plat- form. KEADY FO® THE BOUNCER. irocley Horald: The only chanco wo can sce for Dr. Test and Liveringhouse and tho balanco of the Hastings insane asylum gang, is to try tho insanity dodge. Beatrico Domocrat: Al the chargos made against the asylum officials at Hastings have boen sustained. The wholo outfit should be given a position in the rear, if not in the pen. Creto Chronicie: It might bo well to fn- quire of Mrs. Test and Liveringhouso if they bave any choice of soup. Other public offi- cers would have been glad to resign under much less grave charges, but Test and Liver- inghouse hang on like a member of the re- form logislaturo to a portion of the relief supplics. Nebraska City News: Tho investigation into tho Hastings asylum shows that the management of that institution is rotten from top to bottom. And it is the goneral belief that ome or two other state mstitutions are in the same condition. A comploto over- hauling of all tho institutions is what is needed. Fairmont Signal: The Signal has often assertod that the appoivment of obicers to manage our benevolent institutions should be excluded from the political domain. Theso offices should be filled by men who are pe- culiarly and well qualified to fill such posi- tions. ~The practice has been aud uow 1s for overy new administration to give these places to its pets who have renderea somo kind of service in placing it in power, whether such favorites are qualified in a fitting degreo for the positions or not. The Hastings asylum scandal is an illustra- tion of the results of mismanagement under this vicious system. Itis to be hoped that for the sake of humanity and common do- cenoy the next legislature will give the death blow to this inhuman system of making ap- pointments. Bluo Springs Sentinel: Tho Hastings asylum investization discloses a disgraceful state of affairs and should be followed by tha prompt dismissal and condign punishment of the vesponsible parties. Enough has already boen doveloped to show that Steward Liveringhouse and his coadjutors have not only stolen tho state’s money, bub have oribed its logislators, brought some of its insane penmsioners to an untimoly grave, kept & drinking hell and bawdy house, and it is high time to call a halt. If these parties have friends in hizgh places who will continue to sustain, them in the face of tho testimony developed it is timo such friends wero given the G. B. The republi- can party cannot now afford to tampor with rascals, but should comn to the front and squarely show that the samo principles of reform that first zave the party its prestige will govern it, and no potitical or other sons should, be allowed to interfere or pre- vent the stern rebuko of the guilty. No- braska wants no such den of infamy in con- nection with its state institutions. — They Are Comn Helena Journal.

Young women can aid in housework and in tho cara of children, and can do much of the work often reserved for young men, “The burcau will make careful inquiry as to the character, needs and purposes of all ap- plving for work, and will record only thoso bolieved to bo worthy of recoznition. With this condition it hopes to find places for all who apply. The request is made, thereforo, that all citizens of Lincolu who can use stu- dent labor in this way for either full or part board, or at a specified price per hour, will at onco communicate with the umversity au- thorities, specilying carofully the kind and amount, of service desired. MAY BE RETALNED, To all appearances nothing has beon done toward the retention of Lioutenant Grifith as wilitary instructor at tho university au- other year. The lieutenant and tho circle of friends in which he moves are working tooth and toe nail for his retention in Lincoln an- other year and hava sent several urgent ap- peals do the secretary of war to retain him, As farns can be learned nothing favorable has yet beon heard from Secratary Tracy. HAISH TRAINING SCHOOL. The Haish manual teaining school building on the grounds of the Wosleyan university is now well under wayand a large forco of workmen are pushing it toward completion s rapidiy as possible, Tho first story walls of stone are up and already the buildmg is bo- ginning to assume commanding proportions. With three moro stories added, being on higher ground, this now building will out- shine the original colloge building itself. ONDS AND ENDS, This afternoon a party of oxcursionists from Colorado to Toronto, Canada, stopped in Lincoln about four hours. The party con- sisted of prominent educators from the min- oral state. Colonel Bob McRevnolds and mother will leave for Portland, Ore., Monday afternoon at3 o'clock, Thoy expect to visit Sitka and Alnskan points before returnio g. Canada vs. United States. Crawrorn, Nob, tho Editor of Ttk Brr.—From the Load City Daily Her- ald of the 8th inst I glean the following, ro- lating to Canada nickel: “Contract—United Statos government and Camogre Phipps & Co. Shipmoutto the United States of 240 cars of nickel matte, valuo, 1,500,000, for transportation of which 325,000 was paid to the Canada Pacific railroad, the same to bo used in the maaufacture of nickel steel by Harvoy proof.”” This, as a representative industry for Canada, i3 indeed flattering and to bo commended, but is & poor commontary upon our own capitalists, who permit vast quavtities of this mineral to lio burled in tho Black Hills, now so well traversed by ailroads, and thus of comparatively casy ac- coss. Rocent discovorios point to what is is hero known as the Bald bills (within the unknown mineral district, ten miles northoast of Hill City, S. D., as especiaily rich in this mineral, aud only awaiting capital to become oue of ths chief productions and sourcos of wealth of this favored locality, anounding, as it does, in other mincral devosits. Tosts have established its existence, and now with tho development capital could affond would undoubtedly richly repay any who would em- bark in its extraction. Nickel locations or groups of same can be procured at a more bagatel of apparont value, and those who would profit thereby should fully investigate and secure an iuterest before too lato. —— Had Forge A young man who decliued to give his namo rushed into the police station about 3 o'clock Sunday morning and said that he had been robbed of $150 in cash by his roommate, De- tectives Huze and Ellis’ went to tho young man's room at the cornor of Twenty-oightl and Half Howard.

Nebraska's Grain Exhibits. Neb., July 11, 1891.—To the Sditor of Tk Bek.—Hon, A. G. Scott bas written a letter conceraing the great inter- national fair of 1592 and makos some valuablo and timely suggestions. Fully endorsing Mr, Scott's words, I would like to further remar thatnow is the time to gather small grain samples in tho straw, It is an easy matccr t0 show throshod grain in a measure: but tho person looking at it has little conception nf tho plant that produced the grain, Nobrask wants to placo on exhibit at the World's T'air at Chicago in 1892 samples, carlonds of her small grain as seen in the field when tho sclf-bindor hurvests the grain. Now is th time to prepare for this grand exhibit, and I z0st that every onterprising farmer in this stato propare & bundic »f each kind of grain grown by him. Select tho bust and carefully pull up by the roots, taking pains not to break or bend tho straw. Mako the bundies or shoaves nou loss thar four inches in dinmeter when firmly tiod. ‘Tio the sheaf in tho middle, close to the hoads, wnd closo, not over six inchos, from the root. Always tio with a soft string. Hung up by the roots in a dark 100m whero 10 mice, rats or chickens can got at it. If every farmer in Nebraska will prepare o sheaf as above describod of each kind of grain produced by him and take good care of it, and if tho same is carefully collectod and kopt in good order one of the prandest ob- ject lessons, showing thoe productive capacity of Nobraski's vich soil, can bo made at _tho world’s fair as was never beforo oxhibited. I would suggest that soma one be appoiute t0 take charge of tho collection and presory tion of theso samples of grain of all kinds, Great caro wust bo exercised in hag ling these shoaves and somo suitable place should be providea whero tho same can be stored until the timo comos to place tho samo on exbibition, The grain grown next season will not bo in time to be placed on ox- hibition at Chicago. Now is the time, und [ urge every farmer in Nebraska to prepare a bundle eich of ryo, wheat, oats, barley, millet, flag, sorghum, corn’ on ethe stalk, clover and timothy. Some one will have to take charge of theso collections in each county. I would suggest that some of th county ofticors would be the proper verson to receive the county contributions, take care of them and nold them subject to the order of s0we person or persons authorized to colloct them for the state. I would ask every nows papor in the state t publish the foregoing, and editorially urgo the farmers of the county 1o furnish suiaplos of tho great coreals grown in this state. Lot every samplo with the name of the producer, county, sec- tion, town, and range whero grown. L. W. GiLemust, Highest of all in Leavening Power..—Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
