EVERY republican elected a delegato to the state convention should go in per- son and go at his own expense. THE week has been hot as midsum- mer, but that is the way we like it when hot weather is worth $1,000.000 a day to our farmers, A 36,000 frame school building will be a standing monument to the incfficiency of the Board of Education which awarded the contract for it. Ir Jupce CoBB prayerfully meditates through the Subbath upon tho political condition prevailing just now he will gracefully retive from public life with- out furthor ado. IF THERF is one man in the state en- tirely too dead to skin so far as his polit- ical future is concerned that man is the Lincoln Journal’s preferred candidate for regent of the State university. THE members of the Methodist con- ference now in session all agree that the reports of their proceedings published in THE BEE have been both full and ac- curate. The gentlemen should not be surprised at this. THE BEEis a news- paper. AN OMAHA pearl button factory will reconcile most people hereabouts to the heavy duty imposed upon imported pearl buttons by the McKinley bill. A pearl button factory in this city would be out of the question except for McKin- ley's forexight. GOVERNOR THAYER was pleased with the resolutions reflecting upon his man- liness somewhat seriously passed by the Grand Island convention of democrats. The governor is very good natured in- deed. Few men could be so complaisant under similar circumstances. ToLEDO is & long way from Omaha, but Omaha money which should be paid out in wages to Omaha laboring men will go tg Toledo because Omaha coun- cilmen have the insufferablo hardihood to ignore public sentiment when prop- erly manipulated by a skillful salosman. THE Mothodist Episcopal annual con- ference, which closes tomorrow or Tues- day, has brought to Omaha and to the homes of her citizens some soventy-five or more Methodist clergymen. They held a vory interesting annual meeting and won a warm place in the hearts of the good people of our city, SPEAKI f that remarkable com- pound of self-conceit and impudence which men have learned to recognize as Sgall,” reminds THE BEE that there must be sell-feeding factorios of the ar- ticle inside the inactive livers of a dead duck and a lickspittle at Fromont, and a gluttonous, pampered corporation stool pigeon who trios to edit & newspaper at Lincoln. E— REPUBLICANS who believe the rail- roads have earned absolute rest and re tirement from republican politics should not remain quietly at home while the railroads puss their friends to the con- vention. Ttis the duty of the opponents of railroad ring rule in state politics to be at Lincoln in time for the opening of the state convention at 10 o’clock Thurs- day morning; earlier if possible. —_— DouvarAs county will cast 63 of the 82 wvotes in the judicial district conven- tion. These figures must look very dis- couraging to the Washington county lawyer whom the independents picked out a8 & good man for district judge, and who was encouraged by their action to attempt the defeat before the republican convention of so able and upright a Judge as M. R. Hopewell of Burt county. HE OMAHA DAILY BEE ORGANIZING THE CONVENTION, When the republicans meet in Lincoln noxt Thursday at 10 o'clock a. m. the first business which will require their attontion will naturally be the organiza- tion of the convention. Hitherto this has been frequently made the test of the strength of various issues presented. Sometimes it is used toshow the relative number of votes for the seve candi- dates and at other timos it becomes the evidence of the manipulation of the con- vention in a particular intorest. The republicans must see to it that the pre- siding officer is not only a staunch re- publican who is able to direct the busi- ness of the convention in a proper man- ner, but one also who eannot be accused of fealty to any railroad or other cor- porate monopoly in the state. 1t is sincorely hoped by THE BEE on behalf of the republican party that the railroads will not attempt to sccure the organization or in any other way to ma- nipulato the deliberations of the conven- tion. A genorous competition among candidates for advantages of posi- tion is to Dbe expected, though it would be more in keeping withth o principles of the party to have a man named for chairman who would scorn touse the position for the ad- vancement of any particular interest or the benefit of one didate as against another. THE regards the cam- paign as one of such importance to the party as to make 1t essential that all factional controversies be buried and that every effort be made to harmonize differences instend of arvousing them anew. It theroforo urges upon repub- licans the importance of selecting a fair minded maa for chairman whose interests are with the producers and whom all good vepublicans can earnestly second in conducting the deliberations of what promises to be the most impor- tant state convention ever held in Ne- brask: THE MANUFACTL URS' MEETING. Acting upon the suggestion of THE Bek and in furtherance of the campaign on behalf of Omaha industries, the man- ufacturers of the city will meet tomor- row afternoon to organize an association and discuss the situation. Special ef- forts have been put forth to secure a large and representative attendance and 2 useful co-operative organization ought to grow out of the mecting, ‘The newspapers, by attracting the at- tention of the people to the importance of helping each other und so helping themselves and incrensing the commerce of Omaha, can a0 a great deal toward doveloping local industry. Newspapers, however, cannot be expected to £o to re tail dealers and consumers with definite information as to the character and prices of the manufactures of the eity. They can create public sentiment but cane not combine the intluences which practi- caliy apply the principle of patronizing home industry. A combination of all the manufacturers for the mut benefit of trade with an industrious, intellicent and capablo secrotary will have behind it not only the capital and business interests directly connccted with the industries them- solves, but the thousands of em- ployes and their families and friends, These working together under skil- ful and honorable direction can make it to the interest of ever: retail dealer, jobber and agentto give the preference to Omaha manufactures nrices and quality of articles offered for sale heing equal to those from abroad. The Manufacturors’ association can be, and it is confidently expected will be, o power for the strengthening of Omaha commercinlly. NATIONAL REIROGRESSION. When a country is able to show a growth of population of but little more than 1 per cent a year, it is fairly to be said of it that it is retrograding. This is tho condition of Canada as shown by the recent census. The total population is only 4,828,344, a gain of less than half a million in ten years, the rate of in- crense for the decade being a little over 11 per cent. It is not surprising that such tn ex- hibit has caused great dissavpoint- ment throughout the Dominion, and that the most earnest discussion is being given to the causes which are assumed to explain the fact that Canada has been for years practically at a standstill so far as population is concerned. This showing is the moro remarkablo from the fact that for the past ten years the Dominion government has made ex traordinary efforts to stimulate imm| gration and was succossful in ate tracting to Canada 850,000 foreigners. The evidence is plain, however, that they did not remain theve, and the only conclusion is that the great majority of wfem found their way into the United States, togother with hundreds of thou- sunds of Canadians. The efforts of the Dominion government in encouraging immigration have obviously been of no benefit to Canada, buthave simply helped to augment the population of this country. The vensus indi tions are that the Canadian emi- gratioa in our favor was greater during the last ten years than ever before, and there is every renson to expect that it will bo still greater in the next ten years, for it is to be borne in mind that the phenomenal development of her north- western provinces took place during tho last decade and she can have no such oxperience during the next ten years. 1t was during this period that the open- ing of her great interoceanic rail- vond gave an impetus to settlo- mont and prosperity which she is not likely to witness again. What could not be accomplished uunder the favoring conditions of the last ten years is not likely to be attained in the next ten, and indeed the outlook for Canadian progress appears anything but encour- aging. It would seem that the present gov- ornment is impressed with the necessity of a radical change from the national policy regarding trade which was insti- tuted in 1879, and from which the most beneficent results were expected. An appeal is to be made to the imperial government for the renewal of certain restrictiops imposed by the commerciul treaties of Great Britain with other na- tions, s0 as to enable Canuda to negotiate reciprocity arrangements upon terms most advantageous to her own interests, In other words, the present Do- wants a larger | independence. minfon government measure of commercinl This may be but how much good it do Canada while she remaing a dependency of Great Britain is wholly problomatical. The obvious fact fs that Canada is at an enormous disadvantage in competition with the United States and must con- tinue to be so long as she maintains her present colonial relations. Doubtless her wiser statesmen understand this, but cannot see & cloar way out. Independence probably could not be had for the asking and it is by no means certain that a majority of the people would be willing to attempt to obtain it by force. Annexation to the United States is ropugnant to the loyal sentiment of the dominant element, which will refuse to the lastto sacrifice power. But the Canadian people will hardly rest satis- fied with conditions so unfavorable to progress as those prevailing during the pust ten years have proved to be, and important” political and commercial changes in the Dominion, which cannot fail to be of great interest to the people of the United States are to be expected in the near future. ON ON HOME PATRONAGE. when Omaha granted, would A LE A few years ago half its present size, one large cigar factory employed 125 hands, paying them from$10 to$15each per week. This one of several establishments en- gaged in manufacturing cigars. There were not less than 250 cigur makers ularly employed in Omahasat t There are now but thirty-tive and these are not all steadily at work throughout the year. Then Omaha cigars were largely sold at home and as far west as Utah and Montana. Today the business is altogether insignificant. Eastern goods have crowded the home- made article out of the market. I: ern tenements and child labor have de- stroyed u great local industry without cheapening the price of cigars to the local consumers. The manufacturers are not to blame for this. The people of this city are to blame so far as Omaha trade is concerned. On all higher grades of cigars the Omaha factories can undersell thoso of the enst. This is a fact which can be readily attested, and the local dealers would gladly carry Omaha made goods if they wers de- manded by Omaha smokers. A leading cigarmaker in Omaha states deliberately and after mature reflection founded upon twenty years experience heve, that if Omaha peoplo would buy one-hall the cigars they smoke from Omaha factories it would require 500 cigarmakers to meet the demand. The jobbing houses could add another large number by pushing Omaha cigars in their trade. Now 500 ecigarmakers earning an average of $13 per week, would receive and expend 36,500 a week or $335,000 a yoar. If the men could bo induced to buy Omaha made cigars the industry, which we have allowed to die of neglect, would recover in an amaz- ingly short time, and the retail trade in all branches would be materially stimu- lated. THE METHODIST PREACHER. Among protestant denominations none is more aggressive and successful than the great Methodist Episcopul church. The Wesleyan commuunion in all its branches represents about 40.- 000,000 souls. These are not all m bers of the church but their religious beliefs are moulded and directed by the followers of John Wesley. The Moth- odists in all the countries of the globe, for no section of this earth has been ab- solutely neglectod by the enthusiastic missionaries of Arminianism, are noted especially for the earnestness of their convictions, the magnetic power of their eloquence and the cohesive strongth of their organizations whether large or swall in numbers. The pioneer protestant preachers of America have been largely of this de- nomination. Wherever the immigrant pitched his tent or erected his cabin on the prairie or in the forest, he was very soon visited by the pioneer circuit rider. The Peter Cartwrights of Methodism in America were the euarliest minis- ters of the gospel among the hardy American settiers from tho Alleghanies to the 1 c coast, and to their zeal and organizing ability west- ern Christians owe a great deal of the deep religious sentiment which perme- ated the otherwise rough civilizationof the states lying between the Appala- chian range and the Mississippi river. The pioneer Methodist preacher of the olden time, as he rode through the almost trackless forests, sang: No foot of land do I possess, No cottage in this wilderness, A poor wayfaring man, with a fervor sometimes amounting to what in these less demonstrative days would be called frenzy. He preached free ce, instantaneous conversion, universal salvation to thoso who accept the terms upon which it was offered, hell-fire and damnation to the others and every dogma and doctvine of the beloved founder of his church with all the zeal of sincerity and all the fire of the rude eloquence which in thoso days gave him the psychological power of throwing his heavers into hystovies of happiness or the agony of despair. In deep, sonorous tones, electrifying tho very trees of the camp ground, the preacher’s voice was heard above all the rest singing Plunged in & golf of dark despair We wretched simners lay, The carnest prayers for and magnetic exhortations to sinners supported by the old-fashioned olectric “amen” of the brothren and the shouts of joy from the saved sisters minglod with the groans of anguish from seekers at the mourners’ bench carried conviction to the unsaved yoomen in the congregution, as revival- ists now-a-days seldom succeed in influ- encing them. It was not uncommon to witness such a “'mighty manifestation of the spirit”’ as would strike awe in the soul of every man, woman and child within hearing of the preacher’s voice and to see hundreds drop on their knees in & moment and cry aloud for salvation, Amuzing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wrotch Like me, in tones of triumph from the whole as- semblage or some similar hymn, with “Bless God,” “Hallelujah,” “Praise His holy Namo” and similar pious ejacul- was wis m- '"EMBER 20 the announcement that one or more souls had “expéplenced the blessing- "he old fashifipfl revivals, tho old- fashioned preachers and tho old-fash- joned camp-méyhings are no The groat chufbll . has grown largoly dut of the primitive practices in which its strongth was originally centered.

The four woeks circuitthas been abandoned and the peopleof every village must have one sermop, at least, weekly, The quarterly meeting is no longer a great ingathering of the men and women of the church from a radius of fifty miles, Asbury and Hedding whose pious energy and native ability made them revered leaders of a scattered but growing church are replaced by eighteen highly educated, eminent and powerful bishops. The site of the log hut of ‘a church with but one hymabook in the congregation is ocou- pied by a magnificent stracture elegantly seated aud carpeted, and a pipe organ leads the congregation in its singing. The times have changed and the church and the preacher have changed with them. The Methodist church has lost none of its aggressiveness and none of its power notwithstanding the modifications wrought in its methods by time. Its doctrines remain intact as they were in the early days though presented with persuasive eloquence instead of threat- ening malediction, There is no misun- derstanding the Methodist creed or its church regulations, It sounds the note of warning to sinners with trumpet-like clearness and exhorts the brethren to good works along tho most practical lines. Methodism is a tireless force in the Christian world. Accord- ing to its doctrines no middle ground or negative position. is possible. The typical Methodist preacher of today is like his church. Loyalty to his denomin- ation is a part of the strength of his religion. The bishop is the ap- ple of his eye, next in nis affection after God and the church. His parishioners are his brothers and sisters and their spiritual welfare his earnest, constant responsibility. Heisa welcome visitor in the homes of Methodist people, whether they have ever known him or not. He is the foe to everything which tends to evil in fawily, society or the church. His views upon all topics, religious, social and political, ave positive, frank and dog- matic. There is w right and a wrong, and the one is in‘etdrnal conflict with the other. He will rebuke what he regards as sinful, wherover it is presented, by whomsoever advocdted and regardless of personal consequences. He is a po” tential force in every community to which he is sent by his bishop. Ha preaches with as much zeal for $300 a year as $5000, and is appavently just as confident in his call to the ministry. He never doubts; he al- ways believes. He, bears acquaintance well and finds a' cordial atmosphere awaiting him whenever he happens upon *former membors of his charge.” Ho bolidves no occupation on earth is as useful, honorable or success- ful as that of tbe Methodist preacher. He is absolutely indifferent to ridicule and he courts contention on controverted theological topics, He is about the hap- piest man on earth and he knows that “‘heaven is the home” of bis soul just as cortainly as earth is the tempo vary dwelling place of his body. Tt is these characteristics that induce him to aceept the license of an itinerant and to wander about at the behest of his pre- siding elder and the bishop uncomplain- ingly, cheerfully and continually. The Methodist preacher wins the love of his people and commands the respect of everybody else. more. GREAIER RAILROAD SPEED. Great progress has been made within a fow years in increasing the speed of travel by rail, and it is safe to suy that the end of attainment in this respect has not yet been reached. Until now the record for the greatest railcoad speed hasbelonged to England, although there ave instances of remarknble speed made in this country. A London and Northwestern train, in August, 1888, made a trip from London to Ed- inburgh, 400 miles, in seven hours and fifty-two minutes, which is a gross speed of 50.9 miles an hour. Three stops were made, and the actual running time was seven hours and thirteen min- utes, or 55.4 miles an hour. The Scotch express between London and Edinburgh makes a gross speed of 51.6 miles an hour, but seventy miles an hour has been made on that lire. The Royal Blue limited, between Jersey City and Washington, makes the run at an average actual speed of 528 miles an hour, and does it every day. Speed of a mile a minute has been attained on several American railronds on special occasions, notably on the Chicago & Northwestern, when a few months ago Jay Gould and party were whirled from Omaha to Chicagg in loss than ten hours, the train making more than a mile a minute over’ i part of the route. But the fastest long-distance run ever made on a railroad was accomplished a fow days ago on the New York Central. when it was demeunstrated that not only is sixty miles an lour possible, but that that rate can be kg pt up for hundreds of miles. This trip was botwoea New York and Buffaty, a distance of 440 miles, and it was uinde in 448 minutes, including stops whieh consumed ubout thirteen minutes.? 'On a part of the route mile after mifd was rolled off in fifty seconds, and comnting stops the av- erago speed for tH8 éntive run was 61,44 miles an hour. The locomotives with which this speed was attained are of improved construction, and their designer, Mr. William Buchunan, ex- pects to accomplish still greater results, But it is sutticient for the present to haye the demonstration that on a good road bed and with proper equipment sixty milos an hour can be accomplished for almost any distance, for obviously if it may be run for 500 miles it may be for double that distance, all things being equal.

It is no more ossential that there should be a volume of curroncy equal to tho amount of money subject to draft in the banks or the total volume of business transacted than that a retail firm doing A business of $500,000 per year should always have actuslly $500,000 worth of goods in their store, or that a life insur- ance company should keep always in convertible securities enough resources to pay its entire liabilities, count- ing the face of each policy a liability.
