CHICAGO knows whero to look for tal- ent. That is why so many of her rail- way magnates are old residents of Omaha and why a call is made by a Chi- cago church for one of Omaha’s ablest and most popular preachers. NORFOLK'S enterprisc in securing a beot sugar factory has brought her wide notice. Her citizens celebrated the formal opening of the factory Tuesday wit¥ propor enthusinsm. Norfolk is one of the live citics of Nebraska, THE Manipur princes who precipitatod the riots in India have paid the penalty of death at the hands of the British gov- ernment. In British jurisprudence Brit- ish Indians cannot murder citizens and call it warfave, It is differcnt in Amer- ica. OFFICIAL returns are just in from Kentucky and they show that the bour- bon Blue Grass commonwealth is riveted to her idols. The democrdtic majority over the republicans is 30,000. Ken- tucky will go republican when China embraces christianity. MINISTERS who fail to comply with the state law requiring them to file cer- tificates of all mavriages solomnized are subject to a fine of $500. This is so near the averago yoar’s salary of cler- gymen as to portend bankruptoy to those who are liable under the law. MARSHALLTOWN, Ia., now has a glu- cose plant and is promised a beet sugar factory. Omaha ought to have a beet sugar factory and refinery. She is the natural commereial center of what will be the greatest sugar beet growing country in the world. Why should she overlook her advantages and neglect the present opportunity of securing this industry? Tik Now York delegate who stood up in the international labor congress at Brussels and said of America, *“*Amid all the wealth, misery increases so fast that ‘the land of the brave and the home of tho free’ is in rveality a hell,” will be cheerfully permitted to remain on the other side of the ocenn. Liars o his gifts ave not appreciated in tho best land on the footstool. IF GOVERNOR THAYER waits for At- torney Darnell to prepare a new brief on the Test and Liveringhouse investiga- tion, why not wait for Liveringhouse to post up his books and correct tho orrors discd¥ored by the accountant? The governor is very easy on men who have been tried and found guilty of grave malfeasunes in offices which they still hold, and whose salaries are® paid from the public treasury axport Errner Omaha or Supery Archi- tect Edbrooke is unfortunate in that shy is the first city selocted by him [or an oxereise of ~his architectural skill. Being his first plan his official dignity would be offended if it should be re- jected. Being unsatisfactory to Omaha it should bo rejected. When the three onbinet officers get to it the fight will be Edbrooke’s dignity agninst Omaha’s interosts. In such a dilemma dignity should be given a rear apartment. ng THE new medical law promises to af- ford the reading public no end of amuse- ment at the expense of the warring fac- tions among the physicians.

THE HASTINGS (O3 TION. ‘ The independents have opened Hm state campaign by placing in nomination | andidates for associate justics of tho | supreme court and regents of the state universit Their convention was large, respectable and enthusiastie. It | was an assemblago chiefly of | men who have not hitherto figured ex- tensively in the politics and legislation of Nebraska. The leaders have become | known within two years and seve! old | party war horses pushed themselves into prominence. Aside from these and they could all be numbered on the fing- ers of two hands, the convention was made up of new blood. They were not all farmers but the best part of them and the best average of inteliigence was among the actual riculturists. The convention was harmonious as well as enthusiastic. I's deliberations were characterized by candor and no fair-minded man can escape the impre sion that the delegates are sincere and de termined. The numbers and aggressiv ness of these men are significant. Thoy procoeded with the work in hand not as if they were attempting to st - of possiblo dangers, but as if the soundings had been made and the pilot and crew were confident of an ensy voyage. There was apparent all through the assemblag the air of triumph and the contidenco that past successes are to be followed by greater achiovements, If the old parties in Nebraska have allowed themselves to think that good crops, local factional fights and time have weakened the common foe, they are very much mistaken. The in- dependent party is a force which cannot be despised. Its platform of princi- ples is a combination of wenkness and strength, and some of its leaders ar vulnerable, but its numbers and organ- ization are strong in every particular. It is a fos which cannot be overcome except by honest, efficient work along the entire line. Only a sound platform, good ticket and judicious organization will save republicanism, and no mistakes must be made in the enunciation of principles, the ticket or leadership. The nomination for associnte justice of the supreme court is the wonkoest point in the movement. Mr. J. W. Edgerton, the nominee for this important office, has not achieved the distinction at the bar or establishod the reputation as o lawyer which is expected of a candidate for a place on tho highest judicial tribunal in this state. It must be remem- bered that his election as associate jus- tice involves within his term of office the title and duty of chief justice. This office i3 too dignified and im- portant to throw as a erumb of comfort to a defeatod aspirant for another posi- tion, a man whose standing among the members of his profession is such that he would never bo selected by them for ‘a judicial offico. As to the candidates for regents of the university the best that can be said at this time is that neither is known to be eithor spocially worthy or spcial- ly unworthy of confidence, and they are probably good average men entitled at least to the respect of their limited ac quaintance. THE INDEPENDENT PLATFORM. The platform adopted by the Hastings convention of the independent party has somo commendable features. The de- mand for laws prohibiting alien owner- ship of land is one that has found very general support from the people of the entire country, without regard to party, and has taken form in the legislation of a number of states and of congress with respoct to the territories. The principle, with propor limitations, is undoubtedly sound. Whaether congress can properly and justly do anything to obtain lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndi- cates is a question which it;is not now im- portant to discuss, but there is perhaps 10 question as to the power of congress to reclaim lands held by railroads in e: cess of what is actually usad and neaded by them. There can be no objection to the demand, common to all politieal parties, that revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the govern- ment, cconomically and honest- ly administered. The trouble is that party has yet been found quite equal to a conscientious ad- herence to this principle, anl 1t is by no means certnin that tho independent party would be. At any rate the finan- cial record of the last 1. lature does not warrant confidence that that par can bo depended upon to administer the vornment with the most judicious onomy. It is an entively proper de- mand that corporations enjoying public franchises shall assums public bur- dens, and be compelled to answer in the courts for all dam- ages sustained by employes while in the line of their duty, the last vepub- lican platform having made substan- tinlly a similar demand. The denunciation of tho prosent system of contract labor will doubtless be ap- proved by a majority of the people of tho state, but in doing this the indepen- dents would have strengthened their position by suggesting a batter systom, unless they intended to have it unde stood that they are opposod to all lubor by convicts and desire that they shall be kept in idleness and the people taxed for their support. As to these matters independent platform does not invite es- | peoial criticism, but soma of its other features will not be so generally ap- proved. For instance, Tue BEE doos not believe it to be fair to demand that the legislature shall enact o froight rato law for railroad service which shall fix rates no highor than thoss in force in Towa, for the reason, as this paper has repeatedly contended, that the condi- tions in Nebraska do not warrant us in asking or expecting Town rates and we injure our case by making such a de- mand. A reduction in freight rates ought to bo made, and it is n wrong to the people of the state that the board of transportation has disregarded its duty in this matter, but we cunnot reasonably claim that rates in Nebraska should ba no higher than in Towa. But the por- tions of the platform which ure most ob- joctionable are those which demand the issue of a flat currency and the free and unlimited coinage of silver. In endorsing tho Cincinnati platform the independents omitted the spocific declaration in favor of the sub- | no trensury plan and substituted for it an- other hardly less objectionable, namely, that the treasury notes proposed to | issued “when shall be loaned to them at cost of upon adequate security in amounty to ach individual not to exceed # This is not quite so broad a demand as that involved in the sub-treasury scheme, It would permit the wernment to determine what is adequate security and would limit the amount which any one person could obtain. But the essentinl prin- issue ciple is the same in both plans, and one | is no more impracticable than the other and they are equally hostile to the pur- for which the nment was rdained. It is to be regretted that the intelligent farmers of Nebraska, among whom there are tens of thousands of men who have attested their devotion to the government and for years have given their votes in support of sound financial principles and a stuble currency, should have given their pproval to a proposed policy whose re- sults could not fail to be disastrous to all interests, and more severely so to their interests than to those of any other class of people. As the foundation of national ity, agriculture would inevitably suffer most from the finanecinl demoral- ization certain to result from a issue of irvedeemable paper currency. THE PRESIDENT ON MONEY. President Harrison, on his way to the ermont bration, made another of those huppy and suggestive addresses for which ho is famous, and per! should be said quite without a peer in this country. 1In this talk tho president took occasion to enforce upon the atten- tion of his honrers the necessity to a prosperous condition for all of having a sound currenc; He said he believed the general government i3 solemnly charged with ~the duty of secing that the money issued by it was and is everywhere maintained at par. He thought that every dollar, whether paper or coin, issued and stamped by the general government, should always and everywhere bo as good as any other dollar. “I am one of those,” said the president, *‘that beliove that these men from your shops, these farmers removed from money centers, have the largest interest of all in the world in having a dollar that is worth 100 cents every day in the year, and ouly such. If by any chance we should fall into a condition that one dollar is not as good as an- other, Iventure the assection that that dollar will do its first errand in paying some poor laborer for his work. I feel pledged for one that all the influences of the government should be on the side of giving the people only good money, and just as much of that kind as we can get.’ At this time theso utterances of President Harrison are significant and reassuring. It is not questionablo that the slow growth of confidence in financial civeles which is largely respon- sible for the scarcity of money is due in no small degree to the apprehension ro- garding silver legislation by the next congress. The demobratic party is vir tually committed to free coinage, and al- though a few of the leaders may en- deavor to induce the majority 1 the house of representatives to put aside this question for the present, as Mr. Mills has advised the party to do, nobody belioves that such offorts will be effective. o probabil- ity is that one of the earliest measures to pass the next house will be a bill pro- viding for free and unlimited coinage. The republican margin in the senate is warned, and there is reason to fear that on this question enough republicans would unite with the democrats to carry a free coinage bill through the senate. The hope for the defeat of such legisla- tion is therefore in the president and his latest utterances regarding the duty of maintaining a sound curreucy, which is entirely in line with what he has re- peutedly snid before, gives renowed as- surance that he would veto a free coinace bill. The advocates of this policy in the senate are not strong enough to override the negative of the prosident, so that his veto would be decisive of the fate of any new silver legislation. It is this that gives especial value and significance to what President Harrison has just said, and it could not huve been uttered at a more opportune time. pose gov Prospe st cele THE GRAIN MEN. Omaha has as her guests today some- thing like two hundred of the repre- sentative grain dealers and elevator managers of Nebraska and lowa. They come to Omaha by invitation of tho Omaha board of trade and South Omaha exchange to make the asquaintance of our citizens in general and our grain men in particul; The oceasion of the establishment of an open board for trad- ing in grain and produce is celobrated by this visit and tho banquet toaight is the cheerful announcement by our grain and produce dealers and the board of trade that hereafter Omaha is tobe a market for grain as well as for stock. The beginning is no more auspicious and no less than that which signalized the inception of the South Omaha stock marke The outlook for the future prominence of Omaha as a grain centre is as encouraging as it was on the ing of the stock yards for Omaha as a stock and packing centre, There is no why the beginning made today not bring to Omaha in future yours, great olovators and wurehousos, oxtensive flouring mills and hun- dreds of grain and produce dealers. It roquires no great stretch of the imagination to picture Omaha as the fourth grain center of the west, Chicago, Duluth and St Louis only ex- celling her in the extent of their opera- tions in cerveals, The grain men have a prosperous se son before them, There is grain enough in the country to keep their elevato filled for months and the prices which prevail and ave promised will stimulate their efforts a3 well as envich their pat- rons.
