PEOPLE who are ontiroly discouraged at the prospect of teaching the Indian the whito man’s civilization und tho white man’s religion, will take heart again when they hear from tho lips of Bishop Hare that among the Sioux the Episcopal denomination has forty church buildings, nine regularly or- dained Indian ministors sud thirty-five Indians who are licensed to preuch.

Very littio has been said about it in the and 1t is not generally known that the people of Nebraska will vote the November eloction for an a to the state constitution which, if earried, will give to Nebraska a railway commission similar to that of Towa, its members being elected by the people. The proposed amendment is as follows the important changes from the present constitution being printed in italics: Ant, V, Sec. 1.—[Officors, | ~The executive dupartment shall consist of a governor, lieu tenant governor, secrotary of state, auditor of public accounts, treasurer, superintendent of public instruction, attorney general, comn missioner of public lands and buildings, and three rilro.d commissioners, whose powers and | duties shall be such as may be preseribed by law The first named oight (%) oMcers shall each hold offce for the term of two years from tho first Thursday after the first Tuesday in January next after his eiection, and untii his successor is elected and qualified; provided, howovor, that the first olection of said first eight named officers shall be heid on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in No- | vember, 1502, and each succeeding clection | shall bo held at thesame relative time in cach | even yoar tnereafter.

It will be observed that under the pro- posed amendment the three railway commissioners will be independent exec- utive oflicers, wiiose duties may be pre- seribed by law, They are to be chosen by divect vote of the people, one to be elected ach year after tho first olec- tion. The friends of railway re- striction must not lose sight of this amendment. Tt will abolish absolutely the present mnie-shift of a Board of Transportation, and will lodge the executive authovity so far as it ap- plios to railways in officers who are divectly responsible to the people for the conduct of their offices.

Reports from Ohio indic senatorial fight in the legislative dis tricts is going against Senator Shev- man. It is stated that ex-Governor Foraker now has three-fourths of the republican candidates for the ture pledged to him, and his supporters confidently predict that he will be elected to succeed Sherman if the next legislature is republic It u very serious question, however, whethel with such a contest the republicans can elect the next legislature. It is not ap- pavent that the senatorinl issue is inter- fering with the gubernatorial campaign. There is no reason to suppose that Me- Kinley will not get tho support of the friends of both Sherman and Foraker. He 1s not identified with either faction. But there is danger that a number of legislative districts will be lost to the republicans in consequence of the sena- torial fight, and that the next legisla- ture may be democratic, Whoevor is respousible for this issue would thus in- flict upon Ohio two democratic United States senators. It is charged by the friends of Foraker that Sherman is responsible for inject- ing the senatorial question into the campaign, but they probably do the senator an injustice in this. At any rate it is uofortunate that the issue was made, for as fhe situation now looks Ohio seems pretty sure to lose the dis- tinguished ravk the state has so long held in the national senate. Mr. Foraker cannot fili the place of Senator Sherman 1n that body, and the election of a democrat to succeed Sherman would be a distinet misfortune to Ohio and to the country. So far as the campaign for governor 1s concernod the republi- can outlook appears to be as fair as could be desired. The vigorous work being done by Major McKinley is hav- ing its effect, and with all the condi- tions favorable to the prosperity of the people the election of the state tickeu would seem to be assured. The one dangor that appears threatening is the loss of the logislature, and the serious- ness of this could not very well be tatod, SUBE IN OHIO, ate that the legisla- n, is ever: THE PENMNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS, The democracy of Penusylvania offered 10 encouragement at their late conven- tion to their political brethren in Ohio and Towa who are supporting the cause of a freo and unlimited coinage of silver. The platform deals almost wholly with state affairs, but referenco is made in a singlo plank to national issuos, and the declaration is made that the democracy of Pennsylvanin are in favor *'of a sound- and stable currency based on gold and silver coined and circulated in such pro- portions as will keep them on a parity. "This is not a definite enunciation against froe coinage, but everybody who vares to will understand that it is practically a declaration of hostility to that policy, because while no one may be competent | to say just what the uroportions must bo in order to muintain parity, theve are very few who question thut the effect of | the unrestricted free coinage of silver | would be to destroy it.

LABOR DAY, Nobraska not the first state to designate one day in the year as *T bor day” and make it a legal holiday, but her legislators were prompt to emu- late the example, and thus far these celobrations have justifiod the reasons for establishing the hoiidny. The sorvanco of Labor day this prom- ises to bo move general and enthusiastic than heretofore. In Omaha unusual proparations been made for its sbration, and all classes of organized labor will unite i making the oc casion us imposing and impressive possible as an oxhibition of the forces of labor. Tho purade may lack somewhat in pomp and pageantry, but as a demon- steation of the muscle and sinew which are daily coutributing to the growth and prosverity of the eity. it will have anin- terest and suggestiveness peculiar to itself. Very few peoplo how large a force labor can muster in Omaha, and while it will not show all its strength today, enough of it will be seen y satisfactory idea of the it performs in the local connection con- notew name was cheered land sugrgestion vention was was ance oerats wis strong engu was ob- year e as realize Gceonomy. It is well that the community should bo occasionally reminded of this. It has a tendency, altogether wholosome, to keop alivo a respect for labor and also to make labor self-respecting. While the public manifests its interest in the men who have laid aside the tools and imple- ments of their trados for a day of recroa- tion and enjoyment created especially for them, the men should feel that it rests altogether with themselves to retain the public interest and to justify the legisla- tion which affords them the special privilege of an exclusive holiday. The vecurrence of Labor day is alsn a most appropriute occasion for workingmon to consider their condition and opportuni- ties under our froe institutions as con- teasted with the less fortunate condition and the narrower opportunities of the workers of the old world. There will ba in the ranks of the marching col- umn of labor today hundreds of men who came to this country poor and are now prosporous, with homes of their own and all needed comforts. They may rovert to the time when in their native countries they found it difficult w0 make ends meet, thougn they prac- ticed the utmost economy, and they may know of others where they came from who are now having a harder oxper- ience thun they had. If there bo any to whom such reflections shall come they will haraly fail to bo impressed with the duty of cultivating a stronger aflection for the country of their adoption and a higher detormination to presorve intact the institutions which have oaabled them to prosper and to live as men should live, and which are the guaranty of eaqual or ter blessings to their children. Undoubtedly Tabor day may be ro- garded as pormancntly estublished in Nebraska, and it is only a question of time when such a holiday will be un in- stitution of all the states. The objec- tions that confronted it at the outset have been overcume, and we do not kuow that there is now opposition to it anywhore. THE crop prospects continue encour- aging, and the promises for good prices were nevor better. Thisis good nows of course, as far as it goes, but good crops in the state and good prices for grain are ouly indirectly holpful to Omaha’s rotail trade and Omaha’s local manufac- torie The retailers and local manu- facturers must stand by each other and the people must give them the substan- tial aid of increased patronage or times will not be much easier the coming yeur than in that which has just closed. The doctrine of patronizing Omaha indus- tries must be taught by precept and ex- ample. If Omaha peoplo will buy Omaha made goods, trade will be stimulated, | confidence restored and everybody will be benefited. We hold in our own hands the cards which will win the stukes of un immediate improvement in business and permanent prosperity. Patronize Omaha industry is the legend of trumps in the game and they must be played through.

As a token of Lin 's best wishes for the success of the Rock Island’s latest venture, a floral offering in the shape of a Multese cross was preseuted w the representatives of the wanagement, awd J. J. Gilhlan of Linco echoed the sentiments of his_fellow citizens fow well chosen words. Mr. W. S. Pa received iton behalf of the road and smid that although he had expected a hearty wel- come from the west, he had no thought of the way being strewn with flower: Au inspection of the quarters to which the party wero ussigned showed that no expense had been spared in obtaining the latest and most_clegant product of the Pullman com pany's hundiwork. Bronzed screca work and beveled plate glass mivrors set off the ontrance of the sleepers, while tho interior is a triumph of artistic decoration in polished mahogany, and panels of seal brown pressed velvet. A day's ride was sufficient to assure the membors of the comforvas well as the beauty of the Zeno, the car which they occu- pied. - An inspection of the dinner proved also that that the culinary department had not been neglected. It did not take long for the party to become acquainted and the afternoon stipped quickly by, as tho train passed through the ripening corn fields, past herds of cattlo and busy Nebraska towns. Entering Kausas ovenini cropt on us, and when the gus was lighted the members of the Lincoin delegation re- galed the audience with a red hot tariff d bate; new aud then the whole company would burst forth in some song. to the music of Cotonel Chase’s pencil, vusily preparing yards of resolutions, which by special request were read at intervals on the journoy. Morning found all early risers to catch tho first glimpse of Pike's Peak dimly outlinca far off on the horizon. At7 o'clock the loug train rotled into the union depot at Denver on time to the minute, The mountain air gave a special relish to breakfast in spite of the splondia fare ou board the train s Ten o'clock found the party assembled in the parlors of the Hotel Albany, where a delegation of Denver newspapor ropresenti- tives and business wen awaited them. Gov- crnor Router of Colorado exteuded a wel- come on behalf of the stateand Mayor Rogers ou behalf of the city of Denver. Compli- ments were exchanged, and champagne un- corked to tho success of the enterprise, and the party entered the carriages fora ride through the city. The new ousiness sed us the traim ation, tntil i say nothiug of the ice adopted us blocks were an offset for the unpaved strects, ana an_insvection of Colorado’s new capitol building showed that 110 expense was o bo spared in its construc- tion. Ouly a glanco was needed to impress the fact that Denver is far ahead of Omana in her residences and retail business houses, but behind Omaba in_her wholesale trade and manufacturies. Denver's appearance is rendered much more metropolitan by reason of being pre-emiuently u city of brick aud stono; a frame building is as 1ave s a paved streat. The constaut stroam of tourists which pour through Denver has made prac: ticable for hier a plan_which Omaha has long cherished—the erection of a million dollrr hotel. This winter will see under roof the finest hotel in the west, & mussive trian- gular structure of brick and stone which Wil be a monument to western enterprise. | After enjoying the hospitality of Denver the party left for Colorado Springs and General Passenger Agent Firth and Mr. D. J. Flynn, the Denver representauves of tho Kock Isldnd, dia all_in their power to make the party’s stay in Colorado a pleasant one. Perhaps the most enjoyable jucideat of the trip was a visit to_ Broadmoor, where Count Pourtales gave us o taste of truc western hospltality. A morning drive from Colorado Springs through the Garden of the Gods to Manitou is delightful under any cir- cumstances, but under a clear sky sich as favored us the mountain ride was rendered doubly so. After asconding Pike's Peak ou the coz-wheel railroad the members of the excursion separated, some roturniug home- ward, others spending 8 few moro days in the movntains, Mr. Bonnell in spoaking of the advantages of tho great Rock Island route is in s ele- ment and knows the whole systom from A to Z. In explanntion of the new tme curd he said: “We offer a choice of three routes across the Missouri river to threo foot hill cities. Tho river crossines are Omaha, St, Joo and Kuusas City. The mountain termini are Denver, Colorado Springs aund Pueblo. The shortest of these linesis by way of Omaha and Lincoln, and the fastest trains run that way. At6o'clock every evening a s0lid vestibule train leaves Chicago for Kau- sus City and Topeka. This is & heavy train through liiinois and lowa. At Trenton, Mo, it is divided, ono part gowg ' through St. Joo aud tho other through Kausas City and Topeka, join- ing again at Belloville, # few statious anst of Phillipsbure. The fastest train of the lot leaves Chicago every night at 8 It is & solia vestibule train and runs through Kock Isiand, Des Moines and Council Bluffs and new line through Lincoln It leaves Chicago two sud oue-hulf bhours later than the Kansas City train, but catches tho latter at Philipsburg, Kan, There it takes on the Deuver slecpor aud chair car from the Kansas City teain and gives up the Colorado_Springs and Pueblo through cars to the Kansus City train. From Phillips- burg wost there aro two tralus aftor the® trades have been mado oue gong to Denver direct and the other To Colovado Springs and Pueblo. T'hat gives the people anywhero along our road & chance to tuke through sleepers or chair cars Lo any of the three mountain towns they happen to want. Theso traius are heavy ocs, but the beautiful | good time, arriving at the mountains in time for early breakfast. On the return one raln leavos Col Springs at 7:50 p. m, and the othor leaves Denver at8 p. m. They run via Limon and Phillipsburg, and there give and take cars as beforo and go on & two through trains to Chicago. The one tak- ing the southern route arrives in Chi- cago at 10:15 m., while the other mnkos Lincoln at 1:20 p. m. and Chicago at i:45 tho next morning. Iesides these fivors wo havo slower trains going over the throe routes, loaving Chicago at_10:30 every night and arrivo in Denver at 7 o'clock the sec- oud ovening, The return trains leave the foot hill cities from 6 to 8 o'clock in the morning and arrive at Chicago on the soo- ond morying in time for an early broak- fist. Those trains pass Lincoln going west at 9:05 p. m, and going oast at 5:25 a. m The now Toute makes another line in the net work of the Rock Island system and opens the traffic of a new territory to thom, C.C.
