THE republican party represents now, 88 heretofore, the conscience, the cour- ago and the convictions of American ctlzenship,—John J. Ingalls. A CHICAGO man mends broken noses perfoctly with cat-ribs. In view of this faot tho fight between Birkhouser and Squires will probably lose nothing in vigor, persisteney or pugnacity. THE republican party represents social order, progress, individual growth and national glory, as opposed to the frenzied vertigoes of anarchy and the emascu- lated reveries of paternalism.—dJohn J. Ingalls. A RELIGIOUS convention in Chicago is responsible for the statoment that 500,- 000 people in that city never cross tho threshold of a charch. The same con- vention voted unanimously ngainst open- ing the gates of the world’s fair on Sun- day. Where would it have the 500,000 poople go on Sunday during the fair? DEPEW cannot hold his tongue. He went abroad for a rest under orders from his physician to abstain from public speaking. He delivered three speeches between New York and Queonstown and hasalready intimatea that, if necessary, he will do some talking for the world’s fair at such banquots as may be arranged for while he is in London. ST. PAUL owes her namo toa religious zealot, and therefore could consistently break up tho arrangements for a bratal prize fight. She might have been less deliberate about it, however, and so have saved the sports and adventurers who bought railroad tickets to that city and paid hotel and bar bills while there a considerable sum of monoy. Tur fact that Judge John Martin's name is connected with the story of the fusion of the allinnce men and democrats at Topeka, Kansas, gives it credence. Martin belongs to the same school of democrats as ox-Governor Glick, Tom Moonlight and Frank R. Lynch. They believe in taking everything in sight if it can be carrvied away, but i taking all that is left if anybody elso has the first chance to loot the baker WHATEVER elso may be true about General I J. Morgan, commissioner of Indian affairs, it must be admitted that he is a gaume fighter and asks no quarter. [For better than two years ho has been under very hot fire, but the Indian administration has gone on better than ever before and in the faco of a tromendous opposition the former princival of the Nebraska state normal school has in his characteristio way managed most of the time to have his own way. Rev. DANIEL DORCHESTER {8 supor- intondent of Indian schools under ap- pointment by the president and con- firmation by the sonate. Ho was ap- pointed and entered upon his duties May 1, 1850, and was confirmed by the sonate tho winter following. Commis- sloner of Indian Affairs Morgan was ap- pointed and took his office July 1, 1889, and was confirmed by the senate the winter following on the day preceding the coufirmation of Superintendent Dor- chester. The superintendent of Indian schools roports direct 1o the secvetary of the interior and is not responsible to the commissioner of Indian affairs for any of his actions. Bishop Kain, in his nowspaper u-ticle criticising the admin- istration of Indian affairs, commits the grave and inexcusable blunder of losing sight of the facts as above stated. The charges made by the bishop against both Morgan aud Dorchestor were thoroughly aired and sifted prior to their confirmation and theve is nothing made against them by recupitulation at this late day. of the west been It is stated in the pross that a large corporation has formed with eapital enough to carry on oporations which shall eventuslly result in the erection of 530 beot sugar plants in the United States. The ultimate product of these would reach the enor- mous aggregate of 3,200,000,000 pounds of sugar annually. According to the | statement reforred to the gicuntic sct inyolves the erection in Ne- Towa and Kansas six factories the present season. One of these to cost hall amilllon is located at Mar- shalltown, In, and o second is believed to have been practically secured for South Sioux City, Neb. Lincoln expects one of the others, Kunsas City, Kan., takes two and the remaining factory will be located in Town. Whether or not the scheme will be conducted upon so giguntic a seale as is outlined cannot at this time be do- termined. Tt is not likely at all that ) factories will be built by the single corporntion, though it is not impossible. There is, practically speaking, no limit to the th of this new industry. The sorl and climate of a very large part of the country is adapted to the sugar beet and for the product of the factorics u steady and increasing demand may safely be relied This continent and South Amerien afford an illimitablo field for developing the industry, It safe to assume, therefore, that the next ten or fifteon yoars will witness the con- struction of a large number of factories and the cultivation of millions of acres of the saccharine roots. Omaha must not overlook the import- of this new industry. She should alce to the fact that it promises a most remarkable development and that the territory withina radius of 250 miles of Omaha will bo the greatest sugar beet producing region of tho world. 1t will pay to investigate this subject and inter- est capital in locating one or more fac- tories here. While we are negotiating for other forms of entorprise and bring- ing eastern capital to Omaha we may miss opportunities which lie right at our doors, THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY. ‘ | | | | | | rme braska, asing upon, THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. Minneapolis has raised a guaranty fund of $50,000. Sho has appointed hor working committee already. very man in the United States who can be sup- posed to have any influence upon the subject hus already recoived a polite hint from our enterprising northern neighbor that his support will be highly appreciated. The newspapers of both St. Paul and Minneapolis and of all Minnesota have cheerfully endorsed tho ambition of the Twin cities. Minneapolis is in earnest. I zenl would bring to her success if she had as good claims upon the convention as Omaha. But she has uot. Omaha has announced through the press of this country that she wants the convention. Tho pross of Iowa, Ne- braska and the western states adjacent has been practically unanimous i our favor. The greatnewspapersof the east excopt thoso of Chicago have given our hopes encouragement, Iowa has de- clared in her republican convention un- equivocally for this city. Wo have the bonefit of the prestige gained by our vig- orous and almost successful fight of four years ago. lverything looks favorable. The commiiteo which goes on to Phii- adelphin next week to appear in our be- half before the executive committee will find the way already paved for thoir good work. We have more than a fight- ing chance. We have positive, unequi- vocal evidence that our ambition is not regarded by republican leaders as the mere vagary of an enterprising western city. We have the logic and the loca- tion on our side. Work and wide- awako attention to details is all we now need to achieve success. SPEAKERSHIP OF THE NEXT HOUSE. It is not a matter of very great im- portance who of the numerous candi- dates is chosen speaker of the next housa of representatives, but the outlook is for a very lively and interesting battle. The south will have several candidates to divide the vote of that section. Mr. Roger Q. Mills of Texas, the author of the remarkable tarift bill in the Fiftieth congress, and the leader of the minority in the last congross, is supposed to have the best chance of being chosen. Very likely he has at this time the strongest foillowing, but whether he can hold it when the democrats of the house get together in Washington and can- vass the claims of the several candi- dates and propose the deals always in- cident to those contests, is another mat- ter. Mr. Mills has in his favor the fact that in the last two congresses he was the recognized leader of his party, but except this he hasno very strong claims. He is not particularly able as a parlis mentarian, and his temporament havdly fts him for the trying duties and more or less exasperating experi- ences of the speaker’s position. The democrats have such an overwhelming majority in the next congress that a speaker who is in full sympathy and accord with his party may be subjected to less annoy- ance and irvitation than is usual, but the minority in the Fifty-second con- gress can be troublesome if disposed to be, and undoubtedly it will be given numerous opportunitios. Another southern candidate is Mr, Crisp of (eorgin, and he probably stfnds o strong second in favor. Crisp was a valiant champion of the rights as- serted by the minority in the last con- gress, and he is fully as well equipped for the speakership as Mills, It is said that he will not only have the sup- port of all the democrats in the Georgia dolegation, but of all the alliance men with a single exception, and these are oxpeotéd to bring their influence to beur in his favor with alliance men from other southern states. Mr. Crisp, however, labors under the disadvantage of not be- ing in sympathy with the extreme tavifl reform eloment of his party, and this will dominate the next house, A third southern candidate is McMillin of Ten- nesses, who would probably muke a bet- ter speaker than either of the aforemen- tioned, but it does not appear that he | has much of a following. Hatch of Mis- sourl has been talked of, chiefly for the reason that he stands well with the alli- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1891. ance people and his election might have ! tries, give cigployment to idle men and the effect to attract alliance votes to the democratic party. He is also sound as to all the leading features of democratic policy and is fairly equipped for the duties of the speakership. Several northera democrats have been men- tioned as possibilities, but it may be accepted s’ a forogone conclusion that the spenker of the next house of representatives will be from the south. This is the most important ana influen- tial position at present within reach of the southern branch of the democracy, and it will not be denied this one place of power in the government. It is uge- less for any northern democrat to nurse a hope of being speaker of the Mifty- sccond congre THE PROJECTED WHEAT CORNER. There is another report, emanating now from St. Paul, of a movement to form a gigantic farmers’ trust for the purpose of cornering wheat, and thereby pushing up the price to such a figure as the parties to the scheme may agree on as satisfactory. The plan as stated is to unite the wheat growers of the country in ement to hold back their grain, nd it is reported that the promoters of this project are sending out circulars to all alliances in the wheat producing states urging its adoption. These repeated reports warrant the belief that a scheme of the character deseribed is really being urged upon the tention of the whent growers of the country, but it is hardly possible that it will amount to anything serious. Even if all the farmers of the country who riise wheat were in a condition to hold back their grain it would be impractie- able to unite them in an for this purpose. Combinations of a few capitalists, representing manufacturing industries, even though widely sepa- rated, can be effected without much difficulty, but to unite a million men in a dozen or more states, among whom there is great diver- sity of conditions and circum- stances, in an agrecment of the na- ture proposed by the projectors of the wheat corner, all intelligent people must sce would be practically impossible. The great majority of wheat growers cannot afford to hold back their crop but must realize on it as soon as they can get it to market in order to meet pressing obligations, The small num- ber who can do not need any suggestion 15 to what they shall do, nor will they bind themselves by any sort of agrecment, cithor as to the time which they shall hold their wheat or the price av which they will sell it. Far- mers who are in a position to do as they please with their products will not enter into any combination which would nec- essarily imposo restraint upon their ac- tion. Such men wouid be very likely to see the pecuniary advantage of selling during the very time in which their less wise neighbors were withholding their crop, and they will remain free to get the benefit of such opportunitics. Generally farmers of this class will be found to be pretty intelligent and shrowd business men, who study the markets and keep well informed us to demand and supply, and all the conditions affecting values. They cannot be drawn into any such arrange ment as the wheat trust projectors con- template. 5 1t has been suggested regarding this scheme that it is illegal, and the sug- gestion is worthy of consideration. There is an anti-trust law, passed by the last congress in response to a popu- lar demand, in which the voice of the farmers of the country was most promi- nent, that appears to apply to just such combinations or agreements as that re- ported to bo now in active formation for cornering wheat. This law declares to be illegal every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce among the soveral states or with foreign countries, and provides that every person who shall mwake any such contract or engage in such combination or conspiracy shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall bo punished by a fine not excecding $5,000 or by im- prisonment not exceeding one year, or by both, in the discretion of the court. The same punishment is pre- seribed for persons convicted of monopo- lizing or attempting to monopolize, or combining or conspiring with other per- sons to monopolize any pact of the trade or commerce among the several statesor with foreign nations. That cornering wheat in the way proposed would be in restraint of trade does not admit .of a question. The farmers of the country have de- manded the suppression of trusts and combinations. Thereis a law for this purpose and the judicial department of the government has taken steps to have it enforced. The men who have asked this legislation will not violate it. BisHor SHANLEY of North Dakota, makes a very unwise throat when he intimates that the Catholic voto will be thrown against the administration® on uceount of the Indian school question. The sentiment will be repudiated by the rank and filo as well us the leaders of that great church. Tt will be an un- happy day in this country when political lines shall be dvawn by the churches or whon the weight of any greit sect can bo thrown at will for or against any political party, party measure or pavty administration.

They want the two kepu dis- tinet. agreement ADVERTISING In eastern newspapere is good as fur as it goes, but the actual development here with local capital of canneries, starch factories, cereal mills, sugar factories and similar industries would be far more profitable to the ecity, When all these industries Hourish in the live cities of the interior of the state and depend largely upon the Omaha market for sales of their product, it is nonsense to say that they will not be profitable if established here. A BEET sugar factory and refiner like the one at Grand Island costs $400,- 000, It gives employment to a regiment of men and boys, Running at its full capacity it would pay out for labor alone about $75,000 per annum. Located in Omabha, it would stimulate other indus- | . boys, and develop eventually into one of the largest slig#r refineries in America, if not the wopid:!

INSANITY comes high to Douglas county In addition to paying more than her shave for the care of the insane she is charged with a large sum by the local board of insanity for their services. County officials paid by fees have a bonanza in Douglas county, and they never permanently pass by a chance at a fee. PRESIDE all for the organization of a republican club in overy precinct in the state isealmost eclipsed by the spoll-binding style of theproclamation. It ispatriotic enough, and perhaps thrilling, but it is not busi- ness like. Mr. Lansing should be an organizer, not an orator.

LIVERINGHOUSE'S attorney admits that his client duplicated vouchers amounting tonedrly $600.
