Tho probabili- ties are, however, that the metropolis of Minnesota bas concluded to help Omaha this year and try for it herself with Omaha’s help in 1896, PRESIDENT KIMBALL says the Union Depot company has already expended 2500,000 on the depot enterprise.

CLEVELAND'S friends are beginning to name their socond choice. It is Sena- tor McPhorson of Now Jorsey. When politicians bogin to talk about a second choice for an oftice it is safo to conclude the first choice is out ot the race.

There is no more uncertainty about crops than about othor uncertain things. There is a sullicient percentage in favor of aver- age crops to warrant the inauguration of a grand crop insurance schome on the part of the ullinnce. The wago-worker insures agninst uccidents and the house owner against fire. Why should not the farmer insure against catastrophe to his crops? e I8 BEE is in roceipt of No. 8 of the Irrigation Age, published at Denver by Smythe, Britton & Poore, and takes pleasure in suy nythat the poriodical is excollont in every particular.

In his speech opening the democratic campaign in Towa, Governor Boies paid no attention to that portion of the plat- form of his party which domands the froe and unlimited coinage of silver. The convention which renominated Gov- ernor Boies doclared: “We roiterate our demand of one year ago for the free coinage of silver, and that it be mado full legal tender for all debts, pub- lic and private.” Referring to this plank of the platform yovernor Boies said in his lotter of acceptance: “The democracy of Towa demand that silver shall be restored to its ancient estate under the lnws of the nation. If, on uccount of changed conditions, as some believe, the result of this will be to reduce the metallic currency of the country to a silver standard alone, or otherwise injure the business interests of the country, the people can be safely trusted to Jdevise some means of retaining the two metals in the relative positions assigned them by the founders of our government.” At that time, when he wrote his letter of accoptance, Governor Boies was willing to oxperiment with free coinage. He was willing then to take chances with a policy which would require the mints of the United States to sive 4124 grains of silver, worth but 80 cents, and coin therefor a silver dollar which by tho fint of the government is to be received by the people of the United States and to circulute among them as worth a full dollar of 100 conts. But Governor Boies has soen a light and heard a voice sinco ho penned his letter of acceptance. The light has come from the democracy of the enst and the voiceis the utterance of such leaders as Carlisle and Mills warning the party to dron the silver jssuc. Governor Boies seems disposed to heed theso signals of danger, but he cannot unsay what he has aiready put on record in support of the position of the lowa democracy on silver, any more than he can frame a satisfac- tory defense of his speech ‘be- fore an assemblage of free trade democrats in New York in which he proclaimed the impoverished and hope- less condition of the farmers of Towa. The republicans of Towa will hold the democratic party of that state to the at- titude it has taken in favor of a policy that would depreciate and debase the curroney of the country. Governor Boies will not be permitted to escape or ovade this issue, and must either repu- diate or defend the position he took in his letter of acceptance. He has declaved himself to be in ae- cord with his party on this question, and he must stand or fall by that decla- ration. There is no subject of greater importance before the American peoplo todny. There is none that concerns more deeply the future welfare of the farmers and workingmen of Towa. The campaign opening speech of Gov- ernor Boies was largely taken up with an attempted justification and defense of his New York address. Theeffort was not asuccess. It could not bo when the gov- ernor was compelled to acknowledgo that his facts devived from the statements of a fow hundred farmers out of the hundred thousand or more agri- cultural producers of lowa. Republi- cans should have no hesitation in re- sponding o the challenge of Governor Boies in relation to this matter. were THE OHi0 CAMUAGN. The opening of the Ohio campaign has been signalized by a degree of inter- est and enthusiasm on the part of the republicans which augurs well for the success of that party. Major McKinley selected the small town whoere he was born in which to fire the first gun of the battle that will be carried on with steadily increasing vigor until the close of election day in November, and the place never saw before and doubtless will never seo again such a crowd as wel- comed and listened to the able, brilliant, and intrepid republican leador. To those familiar with politics in the Buck- eye state the character of the opening of a vepublican campaign may be ac- cepted as u pretty safo indication of tho result, and judged by this rule the out- look for the republicans in the present fight could hardly be more favorable. Tho evidence is .thalt the party is united, harmonious, carnest and enthusiastic, and sanguine without being over-confident, conditions which have always in the past presaged vie- The democratic reports of disaf- ion are shown by the public expres sions of ex-Governor Foraker and others who have been charged with being dis- gruntled to be false, aad there is every reason to believe that no republican will fail of his duty in the contest. Major McKinley evidently intends to push the fighting, and his opening speech shows that ho does not intend to allow the democerats to avoid the issue which they themselves have mado of free and unlimited coinage of silver. he democracy of Ohio, having deliber- ately taken astand in fuvor of making the United States the dumping ground of the world’s silver, with all the cor quences of currency debasement and de- preciation which that policy would in- volve, it 18 very properly proposed to hold the party to this issue, however anx- fous Governor Campbell may be to evade it. At the same timd the repub- lican leador will not ssek to avoid the fullest discussion of the tariff policy with waich his name has become con- spicuously associnted: On the contrar, as the campaign progresses, he will probably dovote his uttention mainly to this question, leaving to Senator Sher- man the easy task of combatting the ar- guments for free coinage. The speech of Major McKinley open- ing the campaign clearly outlined the Ohio republican attitude on silver. It is in favor of the double standard, but while the nations of the world decline to join in guaranteeing to silver a stawus which their laws now accord to gold, the republicans of Ohio are not in Iavor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. It was the concurrent law of nations, said Major MeKinley, that made the double standard; it will re- quite the conourrent law of nations to reinstate and sustain it. He oxpressed the belief that the leading nations of the world would be us glad to put usupon & silver basis, and | that Europe only withholds consent to THE OMAHA DAILY B Fl WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26 1 fonal ratio on account of belief that we will oventually go to sil- ver. ‘It does not take a very wiso man 10 seo,” said the Ohio republican lender, *“t if a dollar worth only 80 cents in- trinsically, coined without limit, is made a legal tender to the amount of its face value for the payment of ail debts, public and private. a logal tender in all business transactions among the people, that it will become in time the oxclu: circulating medium of tho countr Major MeKinley showed that the per capita of circulation is greater than at any potiod before, and said that while it may be necessary to increase the cir- culation it cannot be done with silver dollars that are worth less than 100 cents each in valu Tie American traveler who returns to Ameriea full of sts that things on this side of the water are not what they are in the effete monarchics of Europe very froquently discovers that he has simply made an exhibition of his ignorance in eiting an instance to estab- lish his point. No less a personage than ex-Speaker Thomus B. Roed has fallen into the very common error of travel- ers returning from a first tour of Europe. He expressed his regret that among other things no American art gallery had secured a copy of Michael Angelo’s “David. Ho had seavcely given utterance to the remark until his attention was called by an American who had not visited Rome and IPlorence to the fact that the Corcoran art galle in Washington contains the best copy of the great puinting in existence. Tho discovery was pavticularly humiliating because Mr. Reed has spent a very con- siderable part of his life almost at the door of thut American collection of paintings and statuary. rog Mpe. DIcK BERLIN and his attorney do not agree upon the South Thirteenth strect grade matter. Mr. Dick Berlin should now come out with the whole story over his own signatuve. He has the facts clearly in mind and the public has a right to them. It matters very little whether the injunction suit was dismissed at his request or not. The point of special interest is whether or not there was a basis of fact warranting him in bringing the injunction suit, and what o of facts now exists. Let us have this thing fought out now with bare knuckles no matter who throws up the sponge ultimate Fr TH street will have no via duct just now and yet the average citi- zen cannot escape the conviction that the two railway companies should be kept building viaducts long enough at lanst to persuade them to go ahend with the union depot. It is nonsense for the Depot company to insist that the people are entirely to blame for the delays upon the union depot. Tt is apprehended that work would begin inside of ten days if the option of completing the structure or building a viaduct or two were offered the companies.
