TowA and Ohio republicans have an advantage in the present campaign not hithorto always on their side. Thero is absoluto harmony within the ranks. Nebraska can go into the contest in the same good fighting trim, A MAJORITY Of 42,000 against him in his last campaign in Virginia has dis- couraged General William Mahone, and that is the reason why he advises the Virginia republican lamb to lie down inside the Virginia democratic lion. JERRY SIMPSON’S squeal over the diff- erence in cost of transportation between a porker and himself from Kansas City to Chicago has been the rounds of the par- agraphers of the press so often that it should be retived. Jerry is a one-term congressman and this utterance of his should be a one-term incident. THE elevator capacity of Minneapolis is 17,000,000 bushels, that of Duluth 22,- 000.000 bushels. These figures are an intimation of what is needed in this city for grain storage. Omaha is the nat- urul centor of a far more productive and oxtensive grain growing region than Minneapolis. We need elevators and must have them. e—— MR. U. S. HALL of Missouri has been deposed from the leadership of the state allianco because of his opposition to the third party sub-treasury schomes. This may be disappointing but. it will in nowiseinterfere with Mr. Hall's little ‘boom for the democratic nomination for governor. He has a very large follow- ing among Missouri farmers. GENERAL MILES is opposed to the scheme of placing .the national militia under the control of the War depart- ment. The general wants the regular army increased in the regular way. The National gunrds have too many men to each commissioned officor to suit regu- lar army procedents, and their absorp- tion into the national military estab- lishment would add no officers. SENATOR K of South Dakota has had the good sense to say nothing in the late calamity campaign. While Peffer, Simpson and Mrs. Lease have been try- ing to destroy the credit of Kunsas the South Dakota alliance senator has been ‘quiotly at home studying economics and vending the newspapers to fit himself for his seat in thesenate, Senator Kyle promises to be at the worst no disgrace to South Dukota. TowA farmers and republicans have too much sense to allow the democrats to lead them by temperance agitation into their scheme for stealing the state. The Iowncampaign is now being fought. If democracy wins it means that the leg- islative districts will be gerrymanderea to elect a democratic successor to Sen- ator Wilson; the congressional districts will be gerrymandered to secure dem- ocratic congressmen and the district electorul scheme of Michigan will be carried out to steal afew electural votes. JIn the lowa campaign there is a good dea! at stake for the honest voter. — ALLIANCE men in the south are not all peaceable. Dr, McAllister charged Dr., McCune with official corruption specifying the Georgin senatorial elec- tion as one occasion where he sold out Pat Calhoun for $2,000 and referred to the Texas Alliance exchange which he robbed of $30,000, Dr, MeCune is the editor of the alliance organ at Washing- ton and he was able not only to escape conviction by his associates but sue- ccoded in having his accuser kicked out of the alliance. Dr. McAllister then re- sorted to violence, and there is now an alliance editor down in Mississippi with a bandaged head, Tho brethren may yot settlo thelr difficulty with pistols. Theve is really more excitement in the democratic alliance of the south than in the independent order of the north. KANSAS REPUBLICANS. There isan aggrossive spirit being shown by the republicans of Kansas which conveys the promise that the party will retrieve what it lost last year, and gives assurance that Kansas can be depended upon to give her electoral vote next ¢ for the repub- liean presidential candidate. The great crops of the state, assuring a measurc of prosperity to the farmers beyond the highest they have realized for a number of years, are having a most favorable in- fluence for the republican causs, When people arve blessed with the conditions which bring prosperity they are not easily induced to accept tho vagaries and wild expedients of demagogues. It is only when there is depression and the outlook appears hopeless that the ady cates of a fiat currency and of sub- treagury schemes aro onabled to se- cure supporters. The farmer whose acres have yielded bountifully and who is able to sce his way clear to obtaining what he necds and wiping out a partor all of the obliga- tions that have been a source of anxiety and a burden to him, will not favor a proposition to debase and depreciate the currency of the country. Sucha farmer will want to receive in exchange for his grain all honest dollars, one in all rospects ns good as any dollar, and if ne can put it away for future use he wants to be sure that whene he shall find it necessary to use it, bo the time months or years after, it will still be as good as any dollar. The prosperous farmer wants a sound and stable currency and not a fluctuating medium of exchange, or one that is con- stantly liable to depreciation. He must give a full bushel of grain when a bushel is called for, and he wants a full dollar and not a token that is made to repre- sent a dollar, but is really worth eighty conts or less. The Kansas farmers who, because of & period of depression and hardship, drifted away from the republican party to support the absurd and impracticable schemes of Peffer aud Simpson, are doubtless beginning to see the mistake they made. They cannot be blind to the fact that the reckless logislation pro- posed by the men they sent to the last legislature was almost as damaging to Kansas as the crop failure of last year. Th know that but for a re- publican :enate, which stood as a bulwark in defense of the integrity of the people of Kansas, some of this legislation would have been adopted, and in that event even tho great crops of the present year would not have saved the state from disaster. Understanding these things it is reason- ably to be expected that many of the farmers who mistakenly identified themn- selves with the new political movement will return to the republican party. There are some with whom the dema- gogue cry for more money will con- tinue to be effective, and these will re- main with the new party, but the num- ber of such will doubtless be found when the clection returns ave counted to have materially declined from that of a year ago. [t would be a reproach to the in- telligence of the farmers of Kansas if it were otherwise. The resolutions adopted by the repub- lican lengue of Kansus, at its meeting last Wednesday, have the rizht rine. They ave earnest, strong and unequivo- cal, and upon such a platform the repub- o This is, however, no proof that truck licans of that state can make a vigorous and successful fight. PRESIDENTIAL JOURNEYING. President Harrison remarked in one of his late speeches that he hoped no American citizen will ever begrudge the president of the United States the re- freshment which comes from occasional visits through the country. He may have been moved to say this by the criti- cism of his journoying which recently appoared in a New York newspaper, in which was quoted a letter of Jefferson when he was president, declining an in- vitation to visit Vermont and expressing the opinion that the chief magistrate of the nation ought to remain at the seat of government, where there is always a demand for his presence. President Jefferson stated that he found no time to spare from his duties, and the labors of the exccutive office were not so great then as now. Thomas Jefferson was u very remark- able man, and in no respect wus he more distinguished than for a high sense of duty. He was ex- tremely careful in his intercourse with the people not to do anything that would have the appearance of self-seek- ing. He kept aloof from the people lest it might seam that ho was endeavoring to work up popularity. He was an un- pretentious man, instinctively hostile to show and parade. All this was com- mondable, but it is quite possible to ad- mire the character of Jefferson and at the same time approve the course of President Harrison in visiting among the peoplo and making himself acquainted with the country. This was 8 comparatively insignificant country, speaking of material conditions, when Jefferson was president. The population of the seventeen states was less than 6,000,000, the industry of the people wholly agricultural, and in all respects the union of the Jefferson era was to the union of toduy as the 1n- fant is to the matured man. Besides, in those days traveling was a laborious task, and not a pleasure as now. It would have been a toilsome jour- noy for Jofferson from Washington to Bennington, Vt., occupying several days in an uncomfortable coach, whore- as now the trip is made ina few hours without the least discomfort. We ven- ture to think that with all his regard for duty and his care to avoid the ap- pearance of seeking popularity, if Jeffer- son hud had the facilities to travel which the people of today have ho would have gone about & great deal wore than ho did. But travellng in his day was done only when atsolutely necessary, because it was o task attended by move or less hardship. Ninety years ago it was not important either 1o president or people that they should personally know each other. [t is importunt now. No man who does not know the country from personal ob- servation, and who has not mingled with the people widely, is fully qualified to acceptably fill the presidential officee. Such & man wight faith- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; fully execute the laws, but the | chiof magistrate is something moro than | a machine to carry out the will of con- gross. He is required to suggest legis- Iation and to advise congress regarding the public needs, and the more thorough his acquaintance with the country and the people the better qualified a presi- dent will be to recommend and counsel wisely. It is woll to encourage respect for the opinions and mothods of vhe founders of the republic. for the most part they are a safe guide. But the changed conditions make it not simply expedient, but absolutely nece sary to adopt different methods, Prosi- dent Harrison is far better equipped for the duties of his office for having made a trip through a portion of the south and west and for his visit to Vermont, and if this is so the people ought to get some benefit from it. His last trip gave him an opportunity to say some things which are of great value. Meanwhile the busi- ness of the government has gone on and the country is in all respects just as well off as if the president had remained con- tinuously in Washington. S MAIA, Each citizen of Omaha should make it his habit to run out to South Omaha overy fow weeks. It is a pleasant drive or ride in the cars or motor and it is encouragement of the most practical character. South Omaha is a phenome- ‘non which the average citizen does not appreciate. She is a surprise to herself and to her most enthusiastic inhabitant. To the resident of the mother metropoiis whose business seldom takes him theve, a visit is a revelation. The greatindus- tries which have grown upas if by magic and thelarge population which has gath- ered about them are merely suggestions of what the future hasin store for this Nebraska stock market and packing center. South Omaha is as certain to be the second stock market of the union as the years are to roll into eter- nity. Nothing but the grossest mis- management of the most unlikely character can prevent this. Har place is fixed by an almost unalterable fate and the great packing houses of which wo are now so proud and the well ap- pointed yards which now attract stock from all the great westorn states will in ten years be surpassed by but one other center in the union, and that one is C cago. It is not impossible that Omaha may eventually outstrip oven Chicago in certain lines of the stock in- dustry. We do not half understand tho advantages which nature, enterprisc and the development of our country are brining us. It is an inspiration for the future to visit South Omaha and re- flect upon the growth of that suburb in seven years and then attempt to forecast her assured future and its importance to this city. OMAHA RESOURCES 1IN THE SOIL. Land in the vicinity of Omaha is worth from 3500 to $1,500 an acre. It is of course too valuable for corn and small grain. It must not on this account go uncultivated, however, and naturally its ownere turn to other products. THE BEE has frequently adverted to the profits of truck gardening and fruit growing in these columns and its position upon this subject has been criticized somewhat because in a bounteous season like the present the market gardencr finds the demand unequal to the supply. farming, if properly conducted, is not a promising resource. Aside from the possibilities of export to tho mining camps of the west there are reasons in the bounteous yield which makes the supply greater than the demand, for the establishment here of canning, pickling, preserving and dry- ing establishments, which would not FRIDAY, quick adaptatiop fo circumstances which made him n govesnor and a senator, hit immedintely upbfi‘a scheme for circum- vonting the giatakeeper and he said: Slijah, git dowson yo' hands and knees and Uli git on $#%back and we'll go in together.

Hitch yo' hoss on the outside and come right in,” THE good people of Boston have en- tered upon another Indian reform. They propose to osk congress to estab- lish'a system of courts anda code of laws for the Indian reservations of the country. Alveady there 18 a system of courts and a code of rules for punishing offonses. 1t is doubtful if the erudito people of the Hub can devise anything better adapted to the situation as it exists. The chief trouble is that a misdemeanor punished by an Indian court is still punishable in the white man’s court in the adjacent state and the white man’s court some- times runs counter to that of the Indian. All that is noeded is to make it {mpossi- ble than an Indian may be uwice tried for the same offense. CHIEF GRAT PECTOR BLANCHARD may not be a shrewd speculator in grain, but he has good hard sense and that is worth a great deal. He has selected a competent deputy and is anxious to per- form his duties efficiently. The severe criticisms passed upon him by a mem- ber of the State Board of Transporta- tion were not merited by anything which has so far occurred since he was ap- vointed. THE Begk thinks Mr. Blanch- ard should be given a chance at least to show his ability for the work to which signed. His efforts should not odited without proper justifica- A NON-PARTISAN judicial ticket with the names of all but two of the present district judges is under discussion in legal circles. TInstead of the two demo- crats who ave tb’be dropped, according to this programme, a new democratic Richmond is suggested and an inde- pendent with .republican antecedents. If the scheme is earried out the district bench would have three republican, three democratic and one independent judge, provided ‘always and of course, that in these 'changeful times none of the gentlemen desert the old parties before election. e——— SAMUEL C. POMEROY, who died yes- terday in Masjachusetts, was at one time a prominent figure in national af- faivs. He was ‘satyrized by his name- sake of the Lacrosse Democrat and is best known by his nickname, Starvation C. Pomeroy. In his last fight for elec- tion to the United States senate he be- came involved in an unsavory scandal which resulted disastrously to his repu- tation and retired him permanently from official life and influence. PERHAPS it is proper to suggest to the District Bar association that it should tuke tho people into its confi- dence this fall before finally selecting the district judges. There is a smolder- ing five in the ashes of public sentiment only provide for large exports, but sup- ply the local market in the winter and give employment to working people. It is a cuvious fact that in the face of this abundance and with the knowledge that four years out of every five the fertile soill of Douglas county brings certain and prolific crops there are no institutions to speak of for utiliz- ing these resources, and the grocers of Omaha import for winter consumption the very products which go to waste here inthesummer and autumn. Land worth $1000 per acre must yield $150 per acre to be profitable. In ordinary crops this is impossible. In garden products it will frequently fall short if no attempt be made to cure them for times of greater demand. Tie BEE has a hobby which it hopes to vide until there is no longer any ne- cessity for viding it, and that is the de- velopment. of home industries. It in- cladesan auxiliary hobby which is briefly stated inthe old maxim, ‘‘patronize home industry.” It does not therefore hesi- tate to urge from day to day the importance of increasing the num- ber of factories and swelling the trade of those already established. In this connection it is proper to invite atten tion to Mr. A. W. Fullriede’s exper ment in sugar beet raising on his farm west of the city. The lana devoted to the experiment is worth $1,000 an acre. The sugar beet yield promised at this time will puy interest upon the assumed value of the land. It does more. It proves that the soil hereabouts is udapted to sugar beet growing and adds an unanswerable argument in favor of Tue BEE'S pet scheme for a large beet sugar factory and refinery in Omaha. NERAL MANONE'S advice to re- publicans to make no fight in Virginia next year leads to the be- lief that the doughty little Vir- ginia readjuster is afoot and not ahorse- back and brings to mind ex-Governor Leo’s weoll told story. A colored man appeared at heaven’s gate and rapped for admissi “Who's thar,” said St Poter. * Swayback, a witch in Virginia, sab,” said the applicant, “‘Please, open the gate.” ‘*Are you afoot or a hossback, Elijuh.™ I's afoot, Massa Pete,” said the anxious darkey. ‘“Then you can't come in hyer,” answered St. Poter, as he slammed the pearly gates in the old man’s face. Elijah turned homeward disconsolate, and balf way down Para- dise hill he met General Mahone enroute to heaven. The good old man told him it was no use to try to get 1n unless he went up astride & horse. General Mahone, with that b which once in a while blazes up timidly with the idea that the voters and tax- payers ought to be consulted at least once in four years in this matter of dis- trict judges. GOVERNOR THAYERis old enough and able enough fuliy to apprenend his duty and this makes it the more surprising that he does nothing in the Hastings asylum matter. The governor must not presume too much upon the patience of the people. The state conventions occur in a few weeks and the chief executive is inviting a mild roast at the hands of both parties by his inexcusable delay. Mg, THOMAS L. KIMBALL'S letter rel- ative to the union depot is clear cut and candid if not reassuring. The question naturally arises, however, what is the use of dismissing the injunction suits if the two great corporations forming the depot company have no funds with which to complete the structure. THE people of Nebraska will watch with interest the proceedings in court noxt week brought to test the constitu- tionality of the eight-hour law. 1If it be constitutional the business interests of the state must adapt themselves to the situation, Crr1zENS of Omaha are forced to ad- mire the pervg of the Metropolitun Street Railway,; gompany, if nothing else, in view of .igs former experience, and the other interesting subjects which the coming electfty will present to the publie, i SHOULD the attorney general sustain Auditor Benton igx“hm refusal to regist the refunding baads, the county com- missioners of Duwglas county will find it very much mgrb difficult to explain the disposition of 4he sinking fund. agpe—— THE question [gf veracity between County Commissioner Berlin and At- torney Frank Rgt§om is of far less im- portance than the question of fack upon which the injunction suit was founded.

In consideration of the fact that the work of inspection would all be douo by the assist- ant tho board decided to raiso nis salary frot £1,200 to §1,500.

Last vear this amounted to §1,00, Lancaster county 15 now governed by the law which specihies that counties having over 70,000 inhabitants shall have no al- lowance' for such work. Kor two month past County Clerk Howe has had from two to three persons constantly at work on tho tax list. He did not expect any fee for his supervision, but he did expect that the county would pay for the extra work of preparing tho tax list_and he asked the county commissioners to make an allow- ance to pay therafor. The commissioners refused to do this. as- serting that the work fell properly within the duties of the clerk. Mr. Howe then de- clared that the commissioners could goto a land warmer than this und locked the tax lists in his sufo. Ho says that the county will not get them until the money they cost him is refunded. The commissioners retort that it Mr. Howe had devoted more time to the duties of his oftice that he would have had plenty of time to have prepared thie lists himself. Mr. Howe's friends declare that this is a contemptible fling. The commissioners today asked County Attorney Snell's opinion on tho matter of making the tax list and_that official thought that Mr. Howe was entitled to extra help if ha actually neoded it and thav the county should pay forit. He held, however, that the county clerk should lave mudo an ' appli- cation to the commissioners for such help that they might detormine the ataount needed and fix the compensation. Mr. Howe claims that the fight is led by Commissioner Shabey for personal reasons. KLOMAN & ARNOLD ALL RIGUT.

America: Chief Justice Fullor having missod the opportunity of bemng the father of his country may yet hops to claim the dis tinction of belug It father-in-law, Undor theso delightful circumstancos what ean a gratoful and expectant country do save tb bostow on him the office of chiof magistrate, which is the only offico higher than that now possessed by him! Itis easy for a groat and poetic peoplo to seo all tho transcond- ent qualities of this worthy successorof John Jay and Johu Marshall by the light of the balo of beauty that surrounds him, Thero can be no doubt of his unrivaled fitness for the office of president of the United States. Noithior Washington nor Lincoln had eight daughtors. How insignidcant ap- Thomas Jofferson and Androw when subjocted to this su prome test! Therefore America proudly presents tho name of Melvillo Weston Fullos chiof justice of the United States and_tr umphant parent, for the consideration of tho peopla of this republic, having no shadow of doubt that they will joyously choose him for their next president. One thought of tho paradoxical conditions under which the ad- ministration would bo carried on with all the girls pervading it with graco and new millin- ery should bo sufficient to rally tho most por- vorse voters to the standard of this strongost of candidatos. Throughout his four yours of ofico a white house wedding might bo or- ranged to occur every little while. Tho bovine herd of ofice-soekers would bo sup planted by the romantic throng of eligiblo catenes. Sordid applications for presidential postoflices would give way to spirited con tosts for tho fair hauds of presidentinl daughters. For these best of all possiblo reasons the invincible candidate for president 1 1802 is Melville Westou Fuller.

Aftor the war William went through tho south and a portion of the wost huating for his sisters, but found no trace of them. Finally ho settled in Newark with his brother George and learned the carpeutor trade. Together they continted the search for tho girls. They wade trips to this city, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimoro and other placos.’ Nearly twehty years ago thoy stoppod their active hunting, but kopt up a quiet nquiry in many ways. They finally gave upall hope of ever meoting their sis. ters, A few weeks ago William advertised in a Newark newspaper for information of his sister, A week later he received a lottor Mrs. George H. Osborne of Irvington, a vil- lage but four or five miles from Newark. She proved to be his sister. She said that for more than twenty years_sho had beon look- ing for her brother. While William had lived 1n Newark twenty vears his sister had lived in Irvington a year longer.

MoAl- Jister stated that Dr. McCune sold out to Pat Calhoun last year in the Georgia sen- atorial contest for $2.000, and that McCuno had robbed the Texas allianco of &30,000 or more whilo managing the Texas alliance exchange. e GEORGIA EX- ERATES MAD. The State Legislature Refuses to A c- cept the Veterans' Home. ATiANTA, G, Aug. 27.-The Georgia house of refresentatives is being broadly and soundly consured in all pacts of Goorgia to- day.

It is a handsome structure, with large grounds worth aboiv $100,000, i entirely paid for. and all tho stato was usked to do was to support it for fifteon years at a cost not to exceed §15,000 ver vour. Until u week ugo there was no formidablo oposition to the acceptance. The alliance couvention changed things, however, and tho opposition to the home sprung up there. From one end of the state to the othor their is cry of indignation.
