THE success of the rainmakers is stimulating the effort to form an um- brella ttust. LABOR day has taken its place along with the Fourth of July as a holiday in many states. It deserves the rank which it has attained.

TaE Towa editor who states that Farmer Wheeler, the republican nomi- neo for governor, s running on a plow handle ticket and a cornfield platform while Calamity Boies runs on a jug- handle ticket with a corn juico platform is something of a humorist. THE Samoans are not such fools as the jorman president of Samon seems to have thought. They have sound notions upon tho money question and declined to allow the rman planters to work off a job lot of old Waurtemburg silver + coins in payment of taxes at gold value. NOTHING pleases Mr. Egan more to- day than the recollection of his quarrel with Balmuaceda. The men who have not beon at pewce with the late president of Chili are the favorites of thenew gov- ernment. That little controversy although Balmacedn’s apology was a copted may bo the salvation of Patric ministerial neck. WITH 75,000 votes as sure as election, a weak candidate for associate justice on the independont ticket and the demo- crats wholly at sea without the compass of leadership or the rudder of a nows- _paper organ, the republicans need noth- ing but good sense, un honest candidate, a republican platform and organization to wipe the earth with the opposition. ARTHUR P, GOrMAN merely smiles when his name is mentioned in connec- tion with the democratic nomination for the presidency in 1892 It is a peculiar- ity of the Gorman smile that it never spreads far enough or bocomes suffic iontly convulsive to causoe the Maryland statesman to open his mouth. He ap- preciates the superior wisdom of the Chesapeike bay clam. FARMERS must not overlook the fact that the fedoral laws do not impose a tax on anything that the farmer owns or produces. This fuot ought to relieve them of a good deal of the nonsenso which reckless demagogues are uttering about fedoral tuxes being ospecially burdensome upon the agricultural com- munities. Demugogues can make a lie do a tremendous amount of service, THE fiat money fellows are not ploased at Secretary Foster’s statemnent showing that $13.85 per capita was the civeulation in 1860 and that it has Huctuated more or less for thirty years but is greater toda, than ever before In the history of the country, being $23.45. The fact is that the per capita circulation has very little 1 anything to do with the prosperity of the country, but that little is in favor of this republican administration. WATOH THE DEMOCRATS, The democratic party of Nebraska is a badly demoralized In o hopoless minority at the best, it has suf- fored fenrfully from disaffection and de- n since the lust camppign. There is no democrat sanguine enough to pre- dict success to his party even in its old time strongholds without nssistan either from the republicans or independ- ents, lead- ers are harlotig with the independents whoraver it is practicable and in a large renouncing institution. As a consequence the local number of cases are openly allegiance to democracy The circumstances this renunciation of time honored ciations is that it is most vociferous from the lungs and lips of democrats who want office. It is also that when a democrat of this ilk gets a nom- ination on an independent ticket his old party friends very frequently get to- gether and either endorse him for the | democratic ticket or make no nomina- | | suspicious about a880- observed tion for the office he In the alli- ance local nominations thus far the ex-democrats largely predominate over the ex-republicans, In fact the ex- republican who secures a nomination‘is so rare a bird as to bo u curiosity. Gre backers, democrats, prohibitionists and labor union partisans get into the king- dom through the wide-open gate, but the convert from the republican ranks is left out in the cold unl small sort of a erack in the independent fence, The democrats are simply taking all thoy can get and following up the gestion that it 18 far more important to capture the court houses than to elect a state ticket. On the stato ticket they propose simply to lie down unless th can wheedle the vepublicans into a non- partisan scheme for their benefit. This plan is completely frustrated by the stiff strokes of THi BEE and the ropublicans of the state. While the democrats are demoralized as o party and hopaless so far as the state ticket is concerted, they are lying awake nights as individuals scheming for the loeal of- When the tickets are nominated in the out counties it will be discovered that the democratic lion and the inde- pendent lamb ave very badly mixed in their relations toward each other. Ex- republicans in the independent par ought to see how they are being tricked by the unholy combination. weks, made now ss he is enough to squeeze through some sug- tices, HOW THE FARMERS GAIN. The f importation of American pork products into Germany will, it is estimated, increase our exports in that line from $12,000,000 to $14,000,000 an- nually. We shipped about the former amount of pork to Germany before it was excluded from that country, and in view of the short supply of food in Eu- rope this year there is overy reason to expect that the domand for our hog products will at least be as large as be- fore and is very likely to be con- siderably increased. If this is followed by the removal of the French restric- tions upon our pork that will give another market nearly as large as Ge many, and there appears to be no doubt that France will accede to the request of this country. With these two markets reopened it ought to be a safe calcula- tion that within a year we shall be exporting to Burope $20,000,000 worth more of our pork than we have been doing, which will be a very handsome addition to tho revenue of the hog growers and the packing interests of the country. In the meantime our business with the counties with which we have reciprocity agreements is steadily growing. Careful estimates of the value of the increased shipments abroad of our farm products, asa result of the reciprocity arrange- ments alrendy effected, place the sum at not less than $50,000,000. Thus there is substantial ground for the belief that the farmers of the United States will in the near [uture have a demand for their pro- “ducts exceeding the present demand by y or quite $70,000,000, and in all probability this will be fully maintained from year to year. The effect of this must be to hold up prices at a higher range than for a number of years, so that the benefit to the farmers of these expunding markets does not stop with the gains to be derived from the export of surplus products. The home market will be more profitable to them. If nothing more were done in extending our foreign markets tho advantages alveady secured should commend the gratitude of the country toward the party which has so well cared for their interests and for the welfare of the nation. The work accomplished by the pre ont administration, made possible by the legislation of a republican congross, in extending our foreign commerce, con- stitutes one of the most remarkable rec- ords of peaceful conquest in his- tory It testifies to a high order of statesmanship of which the coun- try may justly be proud. It would have been impossible under demoeratic policy. The Cleveland administration wa le an effort to secure the removal of the restrictions sgninst our pork by rmuny and France. but without pro- ducing the slightest upon the governments of those countr The republican party found a airect and practical way to achieve what was de- sired, and the result vindicates the wis- dom of its action. There could be no reciprocity under the econo- mic policy demanded by the demo- cratic party, but the republican party has demonstrated that it is entire- ly practicable without interforing with the protection necessary to the defense of American industries, and that it will bo productive of inestimable advantages to our people. Surely the party that has done these things—that has so amply demonstrated its ability to pro- mote the prosperity and welfare of the country—ought to command the support of the people, and particularly of the farmers, who are the principal bene- ficiaries of 1ts policy POLITICS IN NEW YORK. The conventions of the two partios in New York will soon be held, and then that state will command a large share of the political interest which just now centars on Ohio. The situation as to both of the old parties appears to be complicated by difficulties, and in this respect the democrats seem to be in impression | a8 to have effectively | ever THE OMAHA DAILY BE rathor worse condition than the repube licans. playing a deop game, but recently he has not been having every- thing his own wa, the election of deleg the democratic state con- vention the supremacy of Hill shallenged throughout th friends of Cleveland have declined idly by and allow him to slnughtered and they have made a very The genoral rosult is not, apparently, to the advantage of the vernor.

The republicans are still at sea r garding an available candidate for go ernor, The discussion of Mr. Andrew D. White, ex-president of Cornell uni- versity, has not heen altogether favor- able to that gent far ns the question of availubility is concerned Mr. White has capacity and experienc in public affairs, and as a citizen no man stands h but it is thought he would be popular with elements ry to republican success, and therefore the suggestion of his candi- dacy has not been received with very great favor. He would ac- cept the nomination, but will not make any effort to obtain 1t. Ex-Sen ator Platt is thought to be quietly lay- ing plans to secure the nomination,and he is so adroit and skillful a politician that 1t might vot be safe to predict that he will not get it 1f he desires it. There cun be no doubt, however, that the republican party could hardly commit a worse mistake than to make him it n- didate. He isto New York what Mr. Quay has been to Pennsylvania. The republican party of no state can afford to entrust leadership tomen of this kind, and it would be simply suicidal todo so ina doubtful state. The republicans of New York do not lack men who would be available candidates, but none of these who have been named is willing to make the race. It is a noteworthy instance of the office seeking the man that is presented hy the republican situation in New York, and the obvious danger is that it will not find the right man. What serves to make this state of affairs somewhat sur- prising is the fact that the outlook for jepublican success this yeac in New York is very favorable. The spring municipal elections showed republican gains, indicating that the voters who turned their back on the party last year have returned to their allegiance. The conditions to prosperity, which count for the republicans, are as abundant there as elsewhere. There is no serious disaffection in the party. On the other hand the democrats have a factional fight, and the appearances are that it will be fought out by the Cleveland and Hill men to the bitter end. If so the advantage ougnt to be very decidedly with the repubiican All things considered, the political situ- ation in New York seems to be largely in favor of republican victory in Novem- ber, and such being the case it as- tonishing that there should bo any dif- ficulty in finding o man willing to accept the leadership and make the race for governor.

A TYPOGRAPHICAL omission in these columns yesterday morning might lead the reader to the conclusion that the amendment to the state constitution providing for three railway commis- sioners to be elected by the people was to be voted upon in November uext.

The government does not insure the delivery of a rogisterod letter. It only promises to oxercise the greatest possible care in deliver- ing it to vho porson to whom it is addressed. Itis putin o special pouch. The samo is true of a special delivery letter or package. The cost and care is identically the same, with the advantage of having the special do- livery delivered soouer than the registered package. It is stated that as this point of differonce becomes known tte registry business dimin- ishes and the special delivery incroases. It threatens to become a serious matter to the revenues of the government. There is very little if any_profit in the special delivery business. It costs 10 conts in most places to deliver a letter or parcel. The registry ousi- ness is largely clear profit. Only the clerical and stationery outlays make the exvense of tho system. ‘Tho same expenso, bowever, acerues to the special delvery systom, KECENT ARMY ORDEIS. “The followiug army orders were Issued today : The superintendent of tho recruiting ser- vice will cause fifty recruits to be assigued at Columbus burracks, O., as follows: Twenty five to the Seventy infantry and twenty-five to the Seventeenth infantry.

SECRETARY FOSTER'S VIEW! “I have never seen a timo in my life whe: a dollar would g0 as far as now.” suid Se tary Foster, in conversation about the part the McKinloy tariffl law is playing in tho Olio campaign, “and,” hoadded, 1 hope our friends witl not forget to call attention to the fact.” The same story como from every quarter. “The law has not ulone put down the price of sugar. 1t hias inspired confidence in all kinds of munufacturing to the extent of raising prices.

The officors of tho Ivish National league of this city, at & con foronce meoting yesterday, decided to ignora President Fitzgerald's civeular calling for o national convention to be held in Chieago on October | Among the roasons ussighed for ignoring the call are, first, the fact that tho timo has not yot arrived for a couvention until the Irish loaders on tho other side aro united, and second the local leaders hero vo it is a plan of Fitzgerald and Alexan dor Sullivan to have the convention held in Chicago in order to have themsolves electod 10 oftices.
