Tre Ninth ward people ave in favor of accopting Charles Turner’s proposi- tion to the Park Commissioners to sell twenty lots on Thirty-first street, betweon Farnam and Dodge, for $30,000, for a park.

When the state republican conven« tion meets in Lincoln next Thurs- day there wiil in all proba- bility bo four or five names pre- sented for nomination for the office of | the supreme court. Tho names most frequently mentioned are those of Chiefl Justico Amasa Cobb of Lancaster county, ex-Chief Justice M. B. Reese of Saunders county, District Judge A. M. Post of Platte county and Judge T. O, C. Harvison of Hall county. One of these four men or a dark horse will be selected. as the standard bearer of the republican party in this by far the most important state campaign over held in Nebraska. Judge Cobb is now on has served two terms as a member of the supreme court. He is an old man, though in fairly vigorous health. Ho has created some antagonisms recently which in the judgment of THE BEE have very materially impaived his strength as a possible candidate. His associntions in times past have created the impression that ho is a favorite of the corporations in the coming cam- paign. As already indicated at length in these columns, Tk BEek regards his nomination as practically out of the question, and his election, if nominated, as impossible. Nevortheless a majority of the e officials and the B. & M railrond influence is being exerted in his behalf, and if ‘they must abandon him 1t will be to select some other cor- poration man, 1t not the associate justice of business of a re- publican newspaper to champion tho cause of any aspiring republican in ad- vance of the convention. It has indicated very clearly the sort of a man who should be nominated and believes t to nominate any man tainted by corpors tion influence will be disastrous. An anti-monopoly platform with a monopoly head to the ticket will be an in- sult to the intelligence of the republicans of Nebraskn. Among the names already prominently mentioned it will bo possiblo to select a strong man in whom tho pe ple must have entire confidence There aro other prominent lawyers also who would grace the tribunal by the ability and dignity, and it is not, there: fore, necessary to take any chances. NENRASKA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The Nebraska democracy 1s in full sympathy and accord with the southern wing of the party, and as to one of the most important questions before the country is opnosed to the democracy of New York and New Ingland. Four days ago the democratic state convention of New York declared in unequivocal terms against the froe and unlimited coinage of silver. The democratic governor of Massachusotts a short time ago publi 1id that the demo- crats of that state are opposed to free coinage and wouid so declare them- selves when the time came. Everybody understands that this is the attitude of the party throughout New England. The democrats of Nebraska aro in favor of making this country the dumping ground for all the silver of the world. They are not satified with the fact that under existing law the government is purchasing all the silver produced by American mines, but they would say to the producers of silver in other lands, and to the nations that have silver they would be glad to get rid of, bring your bullion to the mints of the United States and they will buy it of you. The demo- crats of Nebraska ave in favor of taking from the government the profits of sil- ver commage and turning them over to the owners of silver builion. They are in favor of a policy that would give an unwarranted gratuity 1o the producers of silver without any equivalent value to anybody therefor. What this would amount to can be better appreci- ated when it is stated that upon the $400,000,000 of silver coined since 1878 the profit to the government has amounted to $74,489,000, all of which would have gone into the pockets of the silver producers had coinage been free. It is estimated that with free coinage if the government received no more silvor than it is required to pvrchase under ox- isting law the gratuity to the bullion owners would amount to $13,000,000 an- nually. The democrats of Nebrasku are willing that the silver mine owners shall have this advantago by requiring the government to take all the silver they offer, not at its market price, but at a price considerably higher, The govern- ment caunot take the products of the favm and puy the producers a gratuity far in excess of their market value, but the democrats of this agricultural state demand that it shall do this for the pro- ducers of silver, They want the coun- try deluged with dollars that would be worth only 80 cents or less, and which would drive gold out of circu- lation and out of the country, bringing about inevitably the single silver stan- dard. If the democrats of Nebraska have taken this position with the idea that they will increase their vote by it they will find in the result that they have made an irreparable blunder, The denunciation of the tariff and of the reciprocity policy was axpected, but it is absolutely without force in face of the fucts. The commorce of country, both in imports and exports, has increased since the present tariff law went into efl: and there is not a shadow of truthin the assertion that the effect of the law has been. to lessen the price of the products of agriculture and docrense the purchasing power of the farmer’s income. We venture to say that there is not a farmer in Nebraska whose experience during the past ten months does not refute this. As to veciprocity, it is working out its vindication in the most satisfac- tory and gratifying way, and if the republican par is continued in control of the government another four years our trade relations with all the countries of this hemisphere will have become of such a character that no po- litical party will dare to question the wisdom of reciprocity. But the trouble with the democracy is that this policy interfores with the free teade policy of that party. There is & great deal in the Nebraska democratio plat- form which more platitude, and 80 far as its professions of political virtue are concerned, and it oh and | the hench and | FERT ) THE OMAHA D:\ILY BFL. S urances of what the party would do if | It had the opportunity, their value must be judged by the reccrd of what the party has done where it has had power. This will not generally be found to be reassuring. JUDGE BROADY. H. Broady may not accept the honor tendered him by the demo- Island of a Hon. ompt cratic convention at Grand | nomination for associate justice of the | supreme court, The judge has done his share at leading forlorn hopes and has also won his spuvs in conquer- ing heavy odds. He s now a district judge and vresumably profers to remain upon a bench to which he can probably be returned by a safe if he seoks the honor. He is too shrewd o mannot to see thatin this particular campaign the democratic stato ticket is without the possible hope of success, It is quite likely, however, that Judge Broady will not announce his determin- ation in the matter until after the repub- lican ticket has boen placed in the field. It is quite possible he would be willing to dacrifice his district judgeship if by 80 doing he can restore a demoralized de- mocracy tosomething like respectability in point of numbers and harmony amongst 1ts warring factions, Should the republicans be foolish enough to head their ticket with the name of Judge Cobb or an equally distasteful man to the masses, Judge Broady will probably consent to make the race, with the hopoand expectation of increasing the democratic vote and perhaps relegat- ing the republicans to third place in rela- tive political strength in the state. The effect of this would be valuable to him as an individual democrat with hopes for the future and to his party which needs the tonic of enthusinsm almost as much as satisfactory election returns. Tho nomination of Judge Broady, therefore emphasizes the importanc and necessity of wise action by the re- publicans. The republican nomince must be in every way competont, reput- uble and free from railrond affiliations. The democratic party will not be slow to recognize the advantage which a poor nomination will give it in a rac wherein the republicans are confronted and by a determined independent enemy backed up by a secret organization and a sentimental frenzy which render it es- pecially dangerous. The republican convention at Lincoin next Thursday will either make or break the republican party and honest republicans look for- ward to its deliberations with an unusual degreo of interest. THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS. The congress to promote the cause of irrigation accomplished something in deciding upon a policy to be urged upon congress which is in the nature of a com- promise. This is that lands now a part of the public domain in states and terri- tories where irrigation is needed shall be granted in trust to such states and ories for the purpose of developing irrigation, upon such conditions as shall best serve the public interest. This ac- tion shows that the proposition that the government shoald cede the public lands outright to the states and terri- tories was felt to be impracticable, and doubtless the plan now proposed will encounter far less opposition than would be made to that of giving the lands to the states and terrvitories. Theve cor- tainly could be no fairer way by which the government could assist the pro- motion of irrigation than that suggested by the congress, and it is not easy to see what substantial ground of opposition would be made to it. With regard to the resolution which contemplatos a diroct monoy ap- propriation by the governwent for irri- gation purposes, while the proposition may be defensible on the score of equity it is very doubtful whether it would command much support in congress out- side of the states interested, and it cer tainly will not in the next congress. The peepie who purchased lands of the gov- ernment in the states designated in the resolution must be presumed to have done so with a full knowiedge of the cir- cumstances, and it would be difficult to demonstrate that they now have any claim toa return of any part of the money paid to the government. It is safo to suy that the assertion of such a claim would find very Iittle support. It is probable that the irrigation quos- tion will not receive much attention from the next congress, but in any event deliberations and action of the cation convention will not be alto- gether Iruitless. The importance of the state campaign this year can scarcely be overestimated. It is not merely an off year election of three stato officials; it is a crucial trial of strength betweon the republican party and the indevendent organization. With the independents life itself is at stake, for with the defeat of Edgerton and the state ticket their star goes be- hind the horizon never to rise. [t will be utter demoralization and a return of the members to allegiance with one or the other of the old parties. If Edge ton be elected the next legislature and the next United States senator, as well as most or all the next state officers, will probably be independents. In other words, the hopve of future successes is bound up in the election of this ignovamus to the high office of chief just of the supreme court. These conditions make it absolutely es- sentinl that the republican ticket be wholly reputable and free from all ap- pearance of corporation influence, as well as individually strong. We cross swords with a powerful enemy fighting with all the energy of desparation ask- ing and expecting no quarter. The powers of social ostracism and dark lantern cabals are back of the inde- pendent party and we have no easily vanquished foe to meet if we permit him to gain any vantage ground what- ever. Republicans all over Nebraska must bear constantly in mind the tre- mendous importance of this election upon the future of their party and state, E——— THE 136 acres which it is proposed to add to Elmwood park are offered at $900 peracre. Another bidder proposes to sell land adjoining Elmwood on the east and closor to the city at 8600 per acre, Why should land west of the present park be worth $300 an acre more than that east TURDAY, thereof? Tt is unfalr to figure in the Afty- five ncros donigedand divide-the price asked for 136 aepes by 191 in order to show how cheap the entire tract is. In Othor words it can hardly bo expected that the city shilf;now pay for 130 acres what 191 acres ae worth. The dona- tion should not fie ‘paid for in purchas- ing additional land from the donors. ———— THE republicans’of the third judicial district will meot in convention in Omaha October 5, 4t 2 p. m., to nomin- ate the seven julges of the district court, The convention has a largo responsibility before it in view of the vaulting ambition of a Washing ton county lawyer, if it contemplates c tering to that ambition at the expense of good sense and a good judicial ticket. WHAT is fame? A Lancaster gounty delogate in the Grand Island conven- tion reforred to Hon. W. J. Bryan as the only democratic congressman Ne- braska has ever had. Itis less than three years since John A. McShane was supposed to be the apple of the eye of tho democracy as the first and only democrat who ever warmed a seat in congress. Di. ML suggestions that tho concern at the foot of Farnam street hill had no right to advise the democratic party was abundantly vindicated by the action of the democratic state conven- tion. The full report of the proceed- ings of the convention fails to reveal the presence of any World-Herald influ- ence.

SEPTEMBER 19, 1801, OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Tho liberal party in Knglana facos a new crisls. Tho radicals, composed chiefly of | 1abor men flushied with last week's victory in tho trades union congress for the principle of pure manhood suffrage, insist on the mem. bers of the house of commons boing paid & salary out of the public treasury. The$ ex- poct a larger representation in parliamont, and the paying of salaries to members would promote their purpose. Tho old liberal lead- ers aro hardly prepared to concede the claim as yet. It would cortainly have the effect of transferring in a short while the leadership of the party to the radical eloment. At pros- ent the country gentleman, the brower and the mannfacturer control tho organization, which is & more extension of the whig party of other days. The full representation in parliament of the laboring clnss of Great Britain and Ireland would work a mighty change in British politics and fnstitutions, Tho announcement that the German gov- ornment will ask an increase of the army appropriations will not bo welcomo to the Germau people. When Bismarck made his comprehonsive demand for troons some years go it was believed that the limit had been reached—that the empire could stand against the world with the stupendous army which then buttressed its strength. But no; the weary, overladen Titan, staggering under its load, must bear even more. It is the irony of fate that this peaceable, loyal people, even this pious Germany, should bo re- duced into the dospicable position of a group of Cmwsar's leglons. Is thero no way to end the suspense, tho anxioty, the fever which must in time wear out what is best and most lovable in German life and character without war! We do not sce tho way. Perhaps an experiment of de- mocracy would do no harm. Young Rapid might take a vacation—end his abnormal ac- tivity in Hollyrood, Claremont or one of the palaces which the queen keeps for her exiled relatives—and permity the wisdom of Ger- many to come to such an understanding with the wisdow of France that there would be a peace which did not mean tho peaceof death. »*x That the shortage in the breadstuffs har- vest in Russia has already rosulted in what may be designated as a famine in certain scctions of that country thereis only too much reason for believing. Of course, in & lan where the censorship of the press is so keen-oyed and heavy-hauded tho true con- dition of internal affairs, with all the menace it involves to the peace and stability of do- mestic institutions, is keptas faraway as possible from the light of publicity; but the mails havo thus far been free from such paternal espionago, and the story which they bear, though brief, will be regurded as of & most disquieting nature by all who are keenly sensitive to the claims of humanity. The London correspondent of the New York Times states, on the assur- ance of private letters received from Moscow and from another city which he discreetly omits to name, that “many remoter districts avo already bemg depopulated by starvution, and that the country is becoming filled with wandering bands. Whole villages have taken to tramping, with children and the remnants of the heads of families searching for food.” s such be an accurate picture of the social condition of a considerable body of the Russian peasantry at this day—and it not only comes from a source that is notably exempt from sevsational state- ments, but has to some extent been co roborated by telegraphic advices direct from St. Petorsburg—humanity may well shudder as it contemplates their prospective fate when the hard Russian winter, with all 1ts relentless, iron-bound rigors, shall have sat. in. Universal sympathy has been shown, and most worthily, for the unfortunate Jew- ish people lately driven from their homes in ssia, In the light of theso later revela- tions it would seem as if they, even in tho day of their dire misfortune, might find some voor compensation in contrasting tueir condi- tion here and in other hospitable lands with what it might have been had they been por- mitted to tarry on the bleak and smitten do- miuion of the czar. . In canvassing the probabilities of a gon- eral European war, tho preparation of Aus- tria for such a contingency and its ability to fultill its agreements as a member of the triple alliance 15 attracting considerable at- tention, The English and French news- papers aro discussing the condition of its army and the possibility of rapidly mobiliz- ing it at any point on the frontier, and are taling into account in the discussion all the details of organization which are tho material of the specialist. Tho unfavorable criti- cisims have been summed up in an essay which the Vienna correspondent of the Lon- don News says is by an author whois “in the secret of tho Intentions and plans of the po- litical and military authoritios.” He sug- gests reforms which imply that the army of Austria-Hungavy is below the standard both in aumbers and equipment; it bhas an insuf- cient number of officers and men; its depots of supplies are too few; its artiliery, both for | fleld sorvice and fortifications, necds to bo doubled, and the preparations for feeding its technical and other special service corps are very incomplete. The work whose necessity is thus indicated would domand an extra anoual expenditure of from $7,000.00) to $8.000,000, besides & conslderabio present outlay. The publication of this program is believed to be preliminary to asking parlia- ment for this oxtra grant, which in the pres- ent conditiou of tho finances of tho empire, and the uncertain hold of Count Taafts upon his majority, will not be acceeded to without objection, ——— The Supreme Duty. Blair Pilot. “The ropublican state convention has one supreme duty to porform. That duty is to nominate a sound republican of integrity and lewal capacity for associato Justice of the su- premo court.

It was then a craze all over the westorn states, and Nevraska democracy maot its defeat on account of thoso hercsios.
