EVIDENTLY the democratic platform of Ohio was drafted by Governor Camp- bell’s enemies and forced down the throats of his friends. This explains in part why the governor refuses to plant both his feet squarely upon it. He fours ho may lame himself by breaking through a plank or two. ——— THE Grand Army of the Republic refused to draw the color line. The old soldiers aro consistent. They cheerfully fought side by side with blacks on some of tho bloodiest battlefields of the union, Their fraternity, charity and loyalty is tou broad to recognize any distinetion of color, birth or previous condition among comrades. KANSAS grain crops are believed to be worth $100,000,000; those of [owa 50,000,000 those of Nebraska $65,000,- 000. These three statos will sell $300,- 000,000 worth of products of the farm and range this year. Instead of borrow- ing mouey from the national treasury on their own terms, the farmers of thesoe states will be ready to accommodate Uncle Sum for a few millions without in- convenience to themselves. THE iconoclasm of the age, not con- tent with destrying the stories of Pocu- hontas and Jonn Smith, William Tell and his apple shooting, George Wash- ington and his cherry tree, Barhara Feeitschie and the flag at Frederick, is now striving to prove that Abraham Lincon never was a rail-splitter. If this thing keeps on we shall have nothing left of patriotic, poetical sentiment in this country or auy other. A AL HoN. M. C. WHEELER is not a poor favmor overlonded with debt, as the demoacrats sought to prove, but a very weaithy one, with ample funds for car- rying on an immense business in import- ing and breeding fine stock. He will now be held up as a bloated bondholder and aristocrat becauso he has shown by practical oxpericuco that good farming and intelligent attention to stock grow- ing aro immensely profitable in Towa. WHEN he complotes his present torm in the senate John Sherman ecan look back over thirty-eight years of continu- ous public life and a public career of unintorrupted usefulness for which the history of the union affords no parallel, Heo is part and parcel of the American ion and immortality belongs to him in n degree which the presidency could not mako moro efuigent. So long as sound principles of gevernment control this nation so long will John Sherman’s plain but substantinl name he honored. Di. BLAND, the “friend of the In- dian,” the Bellamist and all-round evank of the national capital, has not succeeded in making a national issue of his recent unpleasant experience at Rosebud agency, There may be a few warm hearted philanthropists in the effeto east sorry for his misfortunes, but out west the doctor has neither follow. nor advoeates. e is an American ¢ zen, very much against his will, und wholly at varinnee with the storn facts of the age. He is a nightmare tothe In- dian committees of both houses of con- gress and an intolerable bore to the interlor departinent and Indian burecau Ho is nover invited to the Mohawk In- dian conference, or the national meet- ings of the Indian Rights association, He is unhappily unwelcome almost everywhere, and especially in the Sioux This is all there is about the country, doctor in which the country takes any interest. He is, however, porfectly R vmless though very vindictive. THE OMAHA DAILY B I I I I e e N R THE PRESENT SITUATION | Although disastrous consequences have already attended the ill-advised | strike or lock out at the smelting works and the loss importait controversies be- tween employers and employed, thus far no definite stops have been taken t | just the differences between the p directly concerned. The interests of the | city are suffering trom the blow inflicted by the anhappy complications of the past week. It will bo many months before the retail busin Omaha can from the bad effects of the struggle. A more unfortunate occasion for the labor troubles could hardly have been selectod The depression in all lines of trade has been painfully folt all over Omnha and the strike has paralyzed the revival which hopeful eonditions made probable It is announced that the labor organi- &8 of recover zations will make a tost case and try the poteney of the eight-hour w. Thisis proper and in accord with the suggestion of Tne Bre Itis the only r h has thus far pen- al gloom of the situa- the enn be hearing before Judge Wakeloy or one of the other dis- | trict judges, and a basis for further no- y of hope w eteated the genc tion. By agreement brought to a ensy spoedy gotiations between employers and em- ployes be established pending the final adjudication in the supreme courtof the state. Thisis avery im- portant matter for both sides and it is now time thoy got together upon this proposition at least if no other. Omaha cannot afford to have every tevest paralyzed by two f tions among hor citizens both of whom are both right and wrong and who might be brought together if hoth were business in- obstinate disposed to he reasonable, Unfortunately for the hopes of an carly and fair adjustment of all differ- encos the striking employes are being misled by a fow self constituted 1 whoare eithor arrant demagogues or avtle-brained blatherskites. With two exceptions none of tho speakers who nightly and daily havrangue the crowds in any proper sense of the term workingmen. They aro professional agitators who have not earned a dollar at manual labor for years. They live by their wits and several of them are sup- ported from funds contributed to the sause of the laboring men. So long as the honest working-men of Omaha will wlers are listen to blatant - demagogues like Haseall and heed the an- threats of a blatherskite like John Quinn, just so long will they stand out against concessions, common sense and a possibility of settlement. If these men and others like them whom the agitation gives temporary notoriety are spewed out by the konest laboring men, it will be no difticult task for vesponsible business men in Om to bring about a truce. So long as they are the recognized spckesmen of the strikers, so long must self-respecting men refrain from negotiations on behalf of either party to the ques- tions at issue and absent them- selves from the advortised meetings of the laboring men. There are men in the ranks of the strikers who deserve and have the respect of the community and when they got to the front there will be some hope for a mutual agree- ment which shall preserve the rights of all parties until the same shull bo legally defin CUBAN RECIPROCITY. Thére has been some effort to belittle the benefits which the farmers and man- ufacturers of the United States will securc from the reciproeity arrangement with Spain applicable to the trade with Cuba, but a little study of the schedules will satisfy all practical people that the advantages which this country will ob- tain are of a very substantial character. In order to fully appreciate. this it mus be borne in mind thay the market henceforth free to our farmers and manufacturers will bo practically shut by heavy duties to their competitors. We have been ex- porting to Cuba about two million dol- lars worth of wheat flourannually, whils Spain, which is not a wheat-growing country, sends there about half as much, The veason for this ist the Cuban duty on American flour is $1.69 0 barrol. Under the new arrangemont the duty will be only one dollar a barrel, and the United States should be able to at loast double its exports of flour to Cubn, Quite one-third of our exports to that island consists of provisions, very littlo being received thore from other countries, but owing to the high duties the people have been compelled to practico rigid econ- omy. T arrangemoent puts salt meats and lard on froe list, and duties re! on ons will be from one-third to one-half less than at present. These more favorable condi- tions will undoubtedly largely in- creaso the Cuban consumption of provisions, so that we may 0 new the provis reasonably expect to double our exports In manufactures, our chief steol, in this live, exports to Cuba are of iron and and these have been steadily incre notwithstanding the vigorous In competition. The duties now imposed are heavy and theso will remainin foreo another year, but after July 1, 1802, some articles will go on the free list and the dutios on others will be lurgely re- duced, insuring this country the Cuban markot against all compotition. The United States has for gon- orations supplied the Spanish West Indies with lumber and manufactures of wood, but owing to the heavy duties this trade has been steadily declining, 50 that it is now hardly more than one- third what it was sixteon or eighteen years ago. After July of next yoar all those nrticles will be admitted free, and it is not to be doubted that our ox | port of them will grow from | $2,000,000 annually to three four times that amount. Large roductions of duty will | be mado on glassware and stoneware, on the manufactures of copper, bronze, brass, nickel and their alloys, and on rubber and gutta percha. A reduction of 25 por cent will bo made in the duties on spun or twisted cotton, cotton goods and all mixed goods in which cotton forms at least an equal component part, This sehedule embraces, also, boots and | shoes, leather of all kinds, paper of all | kinds, carriages, cordage and twinee It is a arrangement, and the ropes, or also comprehensive more curefully In«xu»m. o examined the more cloar will it appoar that o groat daal has gained for the American pro- . while at the samo time the inter: | boen | ests and welfare of the Cuban poople will bo subservod. Tho benetits will be mutual, and so far as Cuba s concerned they ought to result in opening an apo: of development and for that island. Whatever the opponents of the administration muy say, this reciprocity areangement will stand s one of the | most signal and valuable triumphs of American diplomacy, IMPROVED LAND VALUE A dispateh from Sherman county, | Neobraska, a few days y stated that the farmors there woro in high spivits, and that land values had taken a sud- den advance, The yield of crops in that county this year will be more than dou- ble the amount of any provious year, and the intelligent farmers have reason- | (bly coneluded that they have been val- uing their land at too low a figure. Ac- cordingly the prolific acres of Sherman county now represent a larger capital than beforo. the splendid crops were grown, he fact is commended to the atten- tion of the farmors of the other pro ductive portions of Nebraska. It is un- doubtedly true that the improved lands of this state are generally held at too low a valuation. The farming lands of Nebraska are unsurpassed in fertility. They can never be exhausted or worn out. There is no good reason why they should rate in value below the lands of Towa, Minnesota and some other states with which compar- ison may proporly bo made, but they do. The estimated actual val- uation for Nebraska is about sixteen hundred million dollars, and it is not guestionable that this is below the real woulth of the state in landed property. Our farmers very generally have been underestimating their possessions, and one of the benefits of vhis year's great progress crop will doubtless be to advance the valuation of productive farm lands evorywhere in the state. There is cer- tainly no good reason why this shouid not be done, but on the contrary all the conditions warrant i, THE PEOPLE'S PARTY 1Y OHIO, Interest in the Ohio campaigp issome- what augmented by the action of a con- vention of representatives of the peo- ple’s party in placing a full state ticket in the field, There had been some doubt as to, whether this movement would at- tain suflicient strength in Ohio this year to nominate candidates, the general im- prossion being that the supporters of the departure would be satified for the present with proclaiming their views and counseling adherents how to vote. But the convention was rve- spectable in numbers for a new party and it went through the full course of business common to such bodies. The people’s party thus demands and will re- coive attention as a factor in the Ohio contest. None of the candidates of the new party has had any prominence in the politics of the Buckeye state, and it is probable that most of them have never had much to do with politics. This fact does not neces- savily discredit them. They may be very worthy men notwithstanding their lack of political experience, but a new party is at a good deal of a disad- antage without leaders who have some knowledgze of the ways of politics, and 0in a hot campaign such as will be carried onin Ohio this year. As to the platform, its central idea is of course more money. That is the cardi- principal of the so-called people’s party and its only excuse for heing. The men who are promoting it think that the sovereign remedy for all economic and social ills is more money, to be issued from the national troasury *Yin sufficlant volume to con- duct the business of the country on a cash basis.”” They do not protend to say how much money woald be needed for this purpose, nor do they concern themselves about any possible effect upon the aracter of the curren which might result from the adoption of their policy. The circulation now amounts to about $1,500,000,000, and this serves for payments tothe extent of only about 8 per cent of the business of the country. Ninety-two per cent of all pay- ments ave made in checks, diafts and other commercinl devices. To do away with the latter and supply their place with currency, if it were practicable to do so, would simply destroy the value of the currency. It would require a bushel of dollar bills to buy a bushel of potatoes, provided the producer of potatoes would exchange them at at all for such cur- rency. Yot this is what the demand of the people’s party means, It is hardly probuble that the new party will make any serious invonds upon the vote of either of the old par- ties in Ohio, but its course will be watehed with somo interest. UNFORTUNATELY for us all the smelt- ing business is not indigenous to Omuha s0il. Naturally smelting works are ex- pected in mining instoad of agricul- tural communities, It is this fact which vos color to the demand of the Denver stockholders for a vemoval of the Omahu plant to that city, On the other hand the altitude of Donver is a trifle against some of the processes of rofining and that of Omaha is in favor of them. There is just enough of uncortainty about the relative merits of the two lo- eations to make people interested in Omuha nervous as to the ultimate out- come of the shut down of the works horve, = WORK on the Minneapolis court house has been suspended for the veason that the cent found no takers. Omaha bonds sell above par, and no market has boon found so depressed as to refuso them, Now wateh the Town democratic press chango its tune and denounce Mr. Wheoler, the ropublican candidato for governor, bocause ho Is indepandontly | rich instead of u bankrupt lable to im- mediate foreclosure, BoiLen down the long report of the board of public lands and buildings upon the investigation of the Hastin follows: 1.

For shocking barbar- ity and indifference to the common sen- timents of humanity, if the storios of neighbors are to bo relied upon, it has no parallel in the city of Omaha, The board must investigate the caso and ro- port the actual facts. If the allegations against public officers bo correct thoy should be censured if not impeachod. The fair name of public charity is sean- dalized by such charges of brutality as ave preferred. Give the two warring doctors, the poor commissioner and the hired undertader the opportunity to vindicate themselves. Dit. CLARK GAPEN states that he not only attended the children of Mrs. Knoll but contributed to her wants from his private purse, Dr. Guapen's word. is goad in this community and ought to bo accepted, but it does not explain all the seandalous circumstances related by the neighbors of the woman whose child is snid to have heen so shockingly treated by the undertaker. Let the doctor de- mand an investigation and use this case to bring about a proper adjustment of the relations he is supposed to sustain to the paiper sick of the community and the health of the city in general. A MAN calling himself **Colonel” Sav- idge and posing asa farmer says tho farmers propose to kick on the twelve and fifteen hour day and vote thomselves an eight hour one in the next legisla- ture. Inasmuch as all the working far- mers are now vising at daylight and working till dark stacking grain and plowing corn, the ‘‘colonel’s” proposi- tion was not gainsaid. When the thrifty farmer gots ready to acceptan eight hour day it will be safe 10 put on wings for the millenium. OxMAnA people will cheerfully vote bonds for parks, provided always the parks are somewheve within roach of tho population. They are not in favor of expending $500,000 or half that sum out in the heart of Douglas county for parks. The park commissioners will satisfy their constituents bstter by the the purchase of several squares near tho center of the city than by opening up whole townships to carriago travel out- side the corporate limits. TE:! ast Omaha case is being taken and in due course of time Council Bluffs will find out whethor Spoon lake and the two bridges aro le- gally on the east or west side of the Missouri river. In thislitigation Omaha and Nebraska occupy a perfectly inde- peadent and indifferent attitude. What- ever may be the conclusion of the su- preme eourt they will be benefitted. THE city council and board of county commissioners cannot: escape blame on account of the scandalous treatment of the remains of a child in the Knoll family. Thoy ave also primavily re- sponsible for the present contention between the city and county physicians as to the extent of their respective duties, THE Alton cuts the ost excursion rate to one fare for the round trip.

CITIZENS of the vicinity of Eighteenth and Castollar streets should file a poti- tion for an investigation by the board of health nto the caso of the Knoll child. Tiis shifting of responsibility by city and county officials amounts to scandal. A Boneless Dark Hor: Chtrago Tribune.

His maim purpose in 1ifo at present appears to bo to injure Mr. Gladstone and the Gladston- ians, and he could achieve this object by promoting in Iveland and Amorica outrages that would discredit the liberals ia Engiand.

OURS. If republican institutions were not firmly planted in Franco, thers is no doubt that tho czar would eagerly form with its government a combination counter to tho teiplo alliance But in figkting with republican condjutors against the three central monarchies Alex- ander I1L. might bo playing fora higher stake than Constantinople. 1t is possiblo that his throno might bo av risk; and, curiously onough, the stability of the house of Romanoft might be more imperilled by victory in such a contest than by defeat. If the French ar- mios, aided by a Russian domonstration on Germany's castern frontier, should be over- whelmingly successful, it is probablo that a wave of democratic ideas would sweep over Burcpe such as that which fol- lowed the military triumphs of the first Fronch republic. Not only Germa and Italy, but all sections of the Austro Hungarian empire aro much more ripa for the reception of republican principles than they wora in tho closing years of tho last century. Should the French republic, flushed with victory, enter on an armeod propagands, what assurance bas the Russian autocrat that it would stop short at tho Vistula! In tho goneral crash of thrones, his own wight topple, and it would be cold comfort to rec- oguizo that its foundations had been shaken by his own short-sighted policy. Such a pos- sible outcome of the overthrow of tho triple alliance is, of course, a subject of extremo solicitudo at St. Petersburg. Constantinople may be dear to the Russian sovereign, but absolutism must be dearor. The United States, in fact, coustitute the only republic to whose greatness the czar can safely con- trioute. . The most elaborate preparations have been made for the celebration of tho seven hun- dredth annlversary of the foundation of the city of Berne, on August 14, 15, 16 and 17. “The procession promises to afford ono of the finest spectacles over soen in Switzerland. There will bo mounted and foot soldicry of all periods in their proper costumes, groups w ropresent different epochs, tabloaus of great historical events, etc., and the strects of the picturesque city will bo decorated in most lavish fashion. Tho Festspiol in the great amphitheatro, which will hold 20,000 spectators, will be a tremondous affaw, a kind of historical drama or pageant, divided into stx periods, as follows: Tho foundation of Beruo in 11913 with the motto, *“F'readom a City:” tho battle of Laupon, 1339, with the motto, ‘“Approved in the Pight;"~ tho dofeat of the Burgun- dians at Marten or Morat, 1476, and the motto, “Resolute and Victorious.” The reformation period or group motto, “The Spirit of Life-Giviug Power.” Tho fall of Old Berne, 1705, motto, “Everytaing Passes Away: Ouly Honor Romains’ —setting forth the victory of Neuenezg, the dofoat at tho anholz, tho discussion in the council, and then tho revival of Borne. *Is thy sword broken! Still hast thou manfully main- tained thy honor. Tho last group—“All for Fatherland”—sets forth the patriotic homage of “Tho Present” to Berne, and of Berne herself to “Mother Helvetia,” who ap- pears and takes part in ber daughter's jubilee. The text of the drama is written by Rev. Mr. Weber, whosa literary work in the Sempach Festspiol of 1883 was much ad- mired. One noteworthy foature of tho cele- bration will be the singing of patriotic and religious melodics by great masses of chorist- ors. “ The powers of the’ “dreibund” (Austria, Italy and Germany) and the partios to tho “zweibund,” Russia and the French repub- lie, with Great Britain standing anxiously to the one side, are truly “great powers,” and thoy may be so callod with omphasis and propriety.

TLAST APPEAL FOR ED NEAL Final Efort Mado to Save tho Murderer's Neok. SUPREME COQURT ASKED TO INTERFERE. Ol Points Rearranged and Presented an New and Important Ques- tions—~That Visit to the Farm Again, Licory, Neb, Aug. 7.—(Special to Tur Brr, | ~Tho attorneys of Fd Neal, the mur | dorer, are making a last desperate effort to save the neck of their client. They have filed in the supreme court a motion for & re-hearing and with it a brief bristling with citations. They bow gracefully to the opin- fon of the suprome court on the former hear- ing, but thoy raise two now points, They admit that Neal, by his counsel, did waive his right to accompany the jury to the scone of tho murder, so far ns it was in their power to waive tho right, but they now contend that in o capital case it was “a substantial right, in- erent and inalionablo, which could not be waived by any action of the prisonor or his counsel.” Then follow numerous authorities to sustain the proposition that the defendant in a capital cnso muat be present during the trial. They contond that the visit to the Jones place was a part of the trial, bocause it was evidence, and evidence can only be taken during a trial, Neal's counsel also raises the point that the verdict was not sustained oy the evidence. This question was not rmsed at the first hearing boforo the suprome court, and Chief Justice Cobb dismissed it in his opinion with a bare statement of that fact, Noal's attor neys now allogo that tho evidence was wholly circumstantial and insufticiont, They coutend that beyond the fact that he was found in possession of some of the Jonos property a fow days after the murder there were only two circumstances brought out in the evidenco that tend to connect him with the erime. One was the fuct that on his visitto the farm bofore the murder he v fused to take some hay for w bedding for a calf, suying it wns too good for that purpose, and’ that the body of Dorothy Jones was afterwards found nder the ha, ho otber circumstanco was alleged by n witness who testified to seeing Neal in the road i front of tho Pinuey farm about 11 o'clock on the morning of Februar; TROUBLE EXPECTED.
