EX-CONGRESSMAN LAWS does not re- main out of office long at atime. He now comes to the front as special in- spector under the alien contract labor law with headquarters in Omaha. THE Kansas City stoc rds during the second week in August shipped 150 head of feeders while for the sume week Omahasupplied 2,876, This is one other fact showing the superiority of this market. PENNSYLVANIA does not have much of an election this year. It is the Key- stone off yeur or bi-election, but there will be interest enough taken init to side track Governor Pattison as a candi- date for president. . KEARNEY wants tho Holdrego cut-off more than she wants a reduction in local freight ratos just now. This probably explaing the action of her chamber of commorce, orge W. Holdrego, gen- eral managor of the B. & M., was at the railroad meeting. NEBRASKA'S advertising train prom- ises to be the most striking advertising effort ever made by the state. The counties are falling into line with ‘the idea as fust as tho Business Men's asso- oiations can get together to make local plans for carvying it into effect. AN ENGLISHMAN was slapped in the face in Berne tae other day for ridiculing the story of William Tell and the Snglishman desorved it. The story may not be true, but that is none of his busi- ness. The Swiss like the story and it is a foolish iconoclast who has no more sense than to diserddit it in Switzerland. HON. Jon~N H. MARION, editor of the Prescott, Aviz., Courier, who died of heart discuse during the last days of July, was ono of the best known jour- nalists on the Pacific coast, having been the managing editor of various news- papers in Culifornia and Arizona since 1849, He wielded a great influence not only in Arizona, but in Caiifornia, Ne- vada and Northern Mexico, and was highly respoctod for his literary abilities and personal worth, His funeral which took place in FPrescott, on August 1, was one of the largest ever seen in the wost, and attended by the citizons an masse. THUS far the state board of trans- portation hus succeeded only in bringing upon itsolf ridiculo by its public meet- ings to sound the temper of the people rogarding vailway ratos. It is wasting time and accomplishing no good. The rates are eithor too high or they arenot, and a comparison with the rates in Towa, considering different conditions in Ne- brasks, will sottle the question at fssue. The board is resorting to a subterfuge which shall delay action by its series of meetings and nothing else. The sentiment of the people and the individual expressions of opinion of members of the state central committee ought to have satisfiod the board as to its duty. The suspl i growing that the board is seckin encuse for keoping its bands off the rates instead of information to guide it to intelligent action upon the subject, WORKING FOR THE CONVENTION. The enthusiasm with which the peo- plo are taking up the work of securing the next republican national convention for Omaha is encouraging. It is a prom- fse of success, There are excellent reasons for believing that Omaha stands today the best chance of any aspi- rant for the honor. Four years ago, n single vote on the first informal ballot was all that was lucking to cap- ture the convention. The Iowa republi- ean state convention’s netion has made it certain that the vote needed so much in 1887 will be ours when the question comes ore the national committee Our people ave in the main pursuing the right course in their canvass for votes in behalf of Omaha. The finan- cial question must of courss be first con- sidered and to this intelligent attention is now being given. Incidental to this is that of erecting a large central build- ing or auditorium, though this can be arranged for later if we secure the con- vention. The Coliseum a sufficient answerat present toall inquiries as to our ability to provide a meeting place. The hotel and other facilitios for housing and feeding erowds will bs adequate by the date of theconvention, and the com- mittee must be shown the trath of this statement, Meantime while the finance and building committees are at work other details must not he overlooked. A representativo of Omaha should be sent to call upon each member of the national committee in his home. The union should be districted and three or four good men should be sont a8 agents upon th work. In Omahu it is probable every member of the national committee has a personal acquaintance. . The delegate should have a personal note of introduc- tion to the committeeman from hi Omaha friend. Every citizen who knows a national committeeman should correspond with him in behalf of Omaha’s ambition. Outside the ranks of the committee are inlluential republicans whose inter- est should be enlisted. Senators Pad- dock and Manderson can render a great deal of service if their enthusinsm is aroused. Ex-Con- grossm Dorsoy secured the vote of West Virginia four years ago for Omaha. He is widely and favorably known among republican leaders and would likely consent to go on a mission anywhere in the interest of Omaha. The Lincoln delegation which made such a grallant fight for the national en- campment of the Grand Avmy of the Republic feols very kindly toward Omaha for her work in behalf of Lin- coln, and would cheerfully render its eflicient assistance if requested to do so. The state should be aroused. The gov- ernor, state officials and leading repub- licans ought ‘to be enlisted in our be- half. The Grand Army meeting at Grand Tsland will be a favorable oppor- tunity of interesting Nebraska people. Hon. William Pitt Kellogg of Louisiana isa man of influence among southern members of the committea and would be pleased no doubt to help hisold home where he still has property,tosecure the nvention. These are passing: suggestions. Othors will come to the mind of the reader in connection with them and the conven- tion committee should have the benefit of the thoughts of all our citizens upon the uppermost topic now bafore Omaha. A long pull, a strong pull and a pull together is all we need to make sure of success. personally ar THE PEANSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS. The condition of republican politics in Pennsylvania for some time past has caused a feeling of anxiety and appre- hension among republicans generally respecting the future of the party in that state. Unscrupulous leadership, the scheming of self-secking politicians, and factional warfare, have had a de- moralizing effect upon Pennsyivania republicans, and the fear has been felt and expressed thav the state would take its place among the doubtful common- wenlths, after 80 years of steadfast sup- port of republican principles in every national contest. Last year, owing to the unfortunate nomination for governor forced upon the party by Quay, the dem- ocrats elected their candidate, although the republicans had carvied the stute in 1888 by a plurality of over seventy-nine thousand. nce then little has been ac- complished toward veorganizing the re- publicans on a better basis and elim- inating the causes of factional con- fliet. Mr. Quay, whose mothods had become repugrant to thou- sands of republicans who felt compelled to publicly protest against his bossism, resignied from the republican national committeo, and it was given out by per- sons supposed to be in his confidence that he intended to retire from the sen- ate and presumably from politics. This promised an opportunity to reorganize and harmonize the party, but evidence is not lacking that Mr. Quay has not yet gone out of political business, though it is obvious twhat his power and influenco have beon greatly weak- ened. He still has a grip on the machine, but the master-hand is no longer ablo to manipulate it as formerly. Pennsylvania elects this year only two state officers, a treasurer and auditor goneral, but none the loss the result of the election will be significant and im- portant as a test, in the year preceding the presidential contest, of the strength of the two parties. If the republicans are successful Pennsylvania will be as- sured to that party next year, whoever its prosidential ~candidate may be, but democratic victory this year would make the state doubtful in 1892 for any vepublican, with a single excep- tion. The state republican convention, held Wednesday, appesrs to have been freer from the obnoxious machine ioflu- onco than any convention of the party for & number of yoars. It was in the main harmonious, and the candidates nominated are referred to as exception- ally strong. Both have honorable rec- ords as union soldiers. The platform favorssilver, butdeclares against free and unlimited coinage. The republicans of Pennsylvania believes that the country can safely use in the currency all the silver produced by American mines, but they hold that the effect of waking this | conference upon country the dumping ground for all tho silver of the world, which would in- ovitably result from freo coinage, would debase the curren lead to financial and commercial aster, T'he Pennsylvanin campaign will not attract the geners |I intorest that will be given to the eampaign in Ohio and other states where a governor and legislature are to elected, but by reason of the importance of the result as already indi- cated it will not be wholly loat sight of. nd dis- UNTIMELY That the popularity with republicans is gre general than perhaps ev ably will not be doubted or denied. It is also safe to say that he has the re- spect and confidence of a larger number of persons not republicans than ever be- fore. Every fair minded man concedes now what many were not disposed o a knowledge only a short time ago, that Me. Blaine is o statesman in the broadest sense whom his countrymen have every reason to honor and to hold in proud regard, ary of stato in the present administration he has found the opportunity to earry into effect the plan of extended intercourse which he announced nearly ten years before, and he has done se, with the full acquiescence and support of the presi- dent, with distinguished sue the same time, Mr. Blnine enabled to show that in the and delicate work of he has had few equals the great men who been at the head of the state depart- ment. Tn the international controversy he has conducted he has shown an abil- ity that has commanded the respect of the nations and the merited admiration of his countrymer It is eminently prover and just to recognize the great public services of Mr. Blaine, but it is certainly possible to do so without any direct or implied disparagement of the claims of others. There has been a great deal of zeal manifested recently, which the truest Jfriends of the secre- tary of state and of the republican party must regard as untimely, in urging Mr. Biaine as the next republican candidate for the presidency. voral county con- ventions of Pennsylvania and a number of newspapers of that state have pro- claimed him as their choice. Some more or less influential members of the republican party in all parts of the country have announced their pref- erence for him. The republican state convention of Pennsylvania adopted a resolution expressing the hope that the republican national convention of 1802 may place Mr. Blaine in nomina- tion for the presidency, Further ex- pressions of this kind are to be expected from republican conventions in other states, The greatest objection to this sort of thing is the danger that it will cause factional contention in the party. Ever, intelligent republican ought to seo t in order to secure success next y perfect harmony is absolutely essen- tinl. A great many republicans be- lieve that victory in 1892 is possible with another candidate than Mr. Blaine, and it would be altogether natural for these men to resent having hira forced npon them in utter disregard of the claims of all others having availability. Another objection to this untimely ac- tion is that it is essentially unjust to Mr. Blaine. It places him in an embar- rassing position. Nobody supposes that he desires it, but he cannot with propriety say that he does not. What- over his intentions may be he is compelled in present circum- stances to keep them to himself. The timo has not come for him to say whether he will or will not accept the nomination if it should be given him, and in the meanwhile the pushing and shouting of his over-zealous admirers annot but be a very great aimoyance to him. There are other obvious objec- tions to this untimely manifestation of concern for the nomination of Mr. Blaine in 1802, but the one consideration of the danger to the peace and harmony of the party should bo enough to induce all true republicans to leavo the question of selecting the next candidate for the presidency to the -colleeted wisdom and calm judgment of the national conven- tion, of Muv. tor and before Blaine more prob- commeor intric diplomacy among have THE association of Old Time Teleg- raphers which held its annual meeting in Washington last Wednesday, elected Hon. Edward Rosewater president of the associavion for the ensuing your. Mr. Rosewater was one of the org: ers of the association, and was at one time, we believe, its secretary. He be- camo a telegraph operator more than 30 years ago aad was engaged in this service down to 1871. During the early years of the war Mr. Rosewster wag employed in military telegraphing, and in 1863 came to Omaha as manager of the Western Union office. He has always taken a strong interest in the association of Old Timers, and the com- pliment of electing him president of the association while he is absent in Burope attests the high esteom in which he is held by his fellow-members. The asso- ciation, and also that of the Military Telegraphers, will honor Omaha with their presence next year, THE grain men who were the guests of the city yesterday and last night are enthusiastic over Omaha’s prospects for becoming a grain market. The feeling of good will manifested by our visitors for Omaha and their confidence in her future is a gratifying proof of the mutu- ality of interest between this city and its tributary territory. Omanha cannot grow without bonelfitting the dealer and producer of all the region hereabouts and Omuha cannot grow unless the people of this section are prosperous. J. W, JOnNSON is a sec state board of transportation. = His up- pointment to the position was not the occasion of general rejoicing among the farmors end antl-monopolists, On the contrary it has been openly charged that Mr. Johnson's chief claim for the place rested upou efficient services ren- dered in the railroad lobby of the logis- lature last winter. Mr. Johnson and his co-secretaries sent out a respoctful ro- quest to citizens to participate in the rates to be held at otary of the | and unlimited | Lincoln, Kearney and Norfolk. One of these went ag''n"matter of courtesy to Hon, W. H, Dech of Saundoers county, not bocause he was a shipper or beeause he possessed @si%einl information upon railroad rates, Lut because he has talked a great deal’ whout rates, Mr. Dech seized the opportunity to get himself into the newspapors and at the same time criticised“tho board of trans- portation very,geverely. Mr. Johnsson undortook to reply and overstepped the bounds of his 6ffkial duty by making a personal attucks upon Mr. Dech and other independefits and displaying the ears of the ass while masquerading in the lion’s skin, Mr. Dech was delighted with the succoss of his experiment, and administered a castigation upon the thin skin of the fresh secretary which he will never forget, . Dach’s first lot- tor was entirely uncalled for and it was insolent. A dignified silence on tho part of the secretaries was all it de- manded. Mr. Johnson's reply was in- disereet, undignified and wholly inde- fensible. Ho raceives a morited rebuke, The Saunders county walking delegate scores several good points against tho board of trarsportation and Mr. John- son, and gets himself again into public print. As botween Johnson and Dech, personally, the sentiment of the state will take to the timber. It will laugh with both sides and does not care which suffers the keenest mortification. MODERN eduacators kindergarten introduction if they do not. The Germans have taught us a great many good things in the matter of public instruction. The best features of the American public schools are adapt tions of German ideas. The kinder ten idea is essentinl eloment 1n the correct training of children. The public kindergarten is rapidly becoming a necessity to the American school tem, as the number of wage earners and working people inerease in our large cities. It takes aco of the home training which in American families of comfortable circumstances is directed by the parents. The kindergarten will do more than the present system to assim- ilate our foreign population, because it begins with the child at its most impres- fonable age and without forcing it through the primary grades leads it in its amusements to the information which intelligent parents with leisure impart to their children before they enter school. The kindergarten is coming to America to sny and Omaha should not bo slow in ndopting it us a part of her system of public gehools. ought to favor sys- Harp conl in Chicago sells for 36 por ton at retail. The freight rate from Chieago to Omaha is $3.20 per ton. The Omaha consumer pays $9.25 per ton for coul today. The rate per ton from Buf- falo to Chicago, 330 miles, by steamer is $1.58, Whut is the lake rate to Duluth and what should be the rate from Duluth to Omaha if we had a direct rail connec tion? Here is a suggestion for the rail- rond committee of the board of trade worthy of attention, aspecially since the Internationat & Great Northern rail- road now has an arm into Sioux City and would bo willing emough to reach down to Omaha. A¥TER the doctors have fought over the relative merits of their diplomas and the representatives of the different schools have wrought out their profes- sional revenges upon each other “the profession” will doubtless point to the new medical law as a valuable piece of legislation. Meanwhile the people will maintain the well grounded opiuion that doctors are human and selfish just the same as other people. Thenew law may dosome good and it maynot. The chances are that it will simply increase the hatreds and perpetuato the feuds which the *‘code” encourages so success- fully. CHEYENNE is an enterprising city. She is the metropolis and capital of Wyoming, wealthy, generous and pros- perous, Her citizens have the true western spirit and the loyalty which is making this trans-Missouri region great This explains why Cheyenne 1s enthusi astic over Omaha for the national con- vention and her newspapors and people are backing us in our ambition. Chey- enne shall have the best there is in the house in 1892 when hor people como here tosee tho next president nomi- nated. It 18 perhaps unnecessary to remark that the stale smelter joke which single handed and alone for two weeks did such yeoman service for a contemporary as an editorial expression of its views upon the eight-hour law, labor agitation, the smelter striko and all the auxiliary topics of local interest, has teen retired. It may never resumo business becauso there may never again be any trouble at the smelting works, The cowardice of the contemporary, however, goos into history with the ill-smelling paragraph. Burre, Mont., is the greatest mining camp in the world, In discussing the proposed Montana railway the fact that Butte is now reached by roundabout line is not forgotten, The new rail con- nection will not'only open to us the wealth of the stock ranges, but give us a closer connection, with the great min- ing center.

Ac- cording to that old authority tne United States had at the end of 1500 166,517 miles of railroad.

New York Morning Advortiser. The Ohio election law requires that the tickets polled shall display such embloms as each party may select. Thus, as already has been noted and commented upon throughout the country, tho republicans this vear have adopted the American eagle, and the demo- crats the equally American and considerably more common domestic fowl, known in the vernacular as the rooster. The people's ticket is surmounted by a plow, quite atrost; but in close conjunction is a huge hammer, suggest- ing that old sledge with which the frolicsome farmer is occasionally wont to fill up his leisure. Lho prohibition state ticket is headed by a beautiful full-blown rose, and no emblem could bo more appreciated since the excise-uct violations which probibition so especially promotes are generally under the rose. e Cheap Voney. with General Sherman, Free silver would cooapen the purcnasing power of the workingman’s dollar. He could not compete with the merchant or manufac- turor, who could mark up his wares to meet the inflation standard, every hour, if ho chose, while the laboringman could find it very dificult to get his wages advanced pro- portionately. Iven if he did, how much botter off would he bo! The man who is carning §1.50 a day and the farmer who is retting 8150 fora bushel of wheat would find that under freo silver tho purchasing power of that $1.50 would very rapidly drop to §1.25, and that the 25 cents loss would fall, not on the merchant or manufacturer, but upon tho man who labors or who tuls the soil. Thatis the inexorablo law of trade, but the price of commaoditics is fixed by the markots of tho world and can not be changed by any local legislatures or vagaries of any single country.
