In preparing humorous articles it is well to remember that brevity is the soul of wit. NeXT Tuesday the republican state convention of Colorado will convene at Glenwood Springs. Omaha must not ovorlook this. We want a strong reso- lution favoring Omaha for the national convention passed by the couvention, OPINIONS among republicans may dif- fer as to who is the strongest of several candidates for associate justice of the suprome court, but they all agree that the only mun who can be elected is one whom the people know is not owned or controlled by the railroad companies, CONGRESSMAN BRYAN lot his tongue out with too much slack when he said at Syracuse the other day that the demo- cratic and independent parties are twin sisters, but he uttered a volume of truth. In some of the counties the conventions have regarded them as Siamese twins, ROSWELL P. FLOWER as a congress- man voted for fren coinage.

PRESIDENT HARRISON will shortly make twelvo lawyers happy by appoint- ing nino of them circuit judges, one judge of the court of claims and two on the Interstate Commerce commission. The lawyers who have not already filea their papers and put in their best politi- cal licks for tho places, however, may just as well stay out of the race. There is already talent enough offered to fill twice as many positions, — WILKINSON CALL’S chances for do taining the senate hour after hour here- aftor whilo he recites ancient history are by ne means bright.

Their conscientious scruples about reading it are respected and it is recognized that the individual who sees evil or violation of the Subbath in its perusal should ignore it. Such a person, however, can- not be regarded ns compotent to oriti- cise and denounce the news, miscellany and comment of the Sunduy paper for the very good reason thut he is mnot privileged torvead it. When a clorgy- man deliberatoly states that the Sunday nowspaper is recking with immorality he oversteps the bounds of fair eriticism and makes himself too ridiculous even to be thought of as a possible candidate for the eminent office of bishop. He cannot find fault with a newspaper clean enough for any family if it shall remon- strate against such sweeping assaults upon its character, | ther logl THE OMAHA, GRAIN MARKRT. Wae have an open Board of Trade and & six-story building largely occupled by grain buyers, and we have two grain elovator companies and several mills in Omaha. We also have a warehouse law, a grain inspoctor and a deputy in- spector, This is all there {s at present to our grain market. Wo have had con- siderable talk, a good deal of enthusias- tic hopo, and we have quite a nuclous around and over which to develop a market, These things are merely n boginning and must not lie down on our arms and wait for something else. If it be true that the railronds are discriminat- ing against us or giving especial monop- olies the advantage in facilities to the disadvantage of the project for building up a markey, let us get after the rail- ronds and correct the evil. Omaha has ally been ablo to bring the trans- portation companies to time when sho has undertaken it with vigor and intel- The laws of the state and na- ticn enforced will remove all cause of complaint in this direction. But Omaha cannot fall back upon the the favored firms an excuso for neglecting her opportunitivs. The railways are in sharp competition, If we have anything for them to ship they will make the rates to carry i The fact is that without storage elev ors and a system of warchouse recoipts as contempiated in the warehouse lay an inspector and an open Board of T will not set the world of grain producers and dealers afire with enthusiasm. We must have elevators for holding and handling what operators and dealers want and must build up flouring, cercal and other mills, distilleries, stavch factories, malt houses, glucose work and similar institutions to large quantity of grain before we are in position to lay claims upon the great and growing grain business ‘of this greatost of grain growing regions. Some of our idle capital and latent enterprise must be turned into these establish- ments to make here o grain market. - MKINLEY MAKES TIN. There was an interesting incident Piqua, O., the other duy, in wh Major McKinley played the principal part. That town claims the distinetion of ving the first establishment in the state to turn out roofing tin made entirely of American matervial. There is an extensive rolling mll there whicl mannfactures the plate; pig tin is obtained from the Temescal mines of California. Missouri supplies the lead, and thus tin plate is made there for roofing which is composed entirvely of materials mined and manufactured in this country. It is stated that the tin plate for cans, cups and household uten- sils will soon be made there. A few days ago Major MeKinley stop- ped at Piqua on his way to fill an ap- pointment for a meeting and visited the tin plate mill, Af witnessing the process of dipping a number of sheets, the covrespondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazelte says the managers of the mill asked Major MeKinley to try his hand. “McKinley,” says the correspondent, “dipped hall a dozen plates into the tin bath. For tha first sheet the tongs were guided by work- men regularly employed. When Me- Kinley neatly drew it out bright and clean, the spectators, among whom were a number of the workmen, clapped thoir nands. McKinley then operated the tongs himself.” Thus the author of the increased tariff on tin plate was enabled to personally wits and partici- pate in the early production of the fruit of his policy for creating o new and profitable industry in the United States which promises in time to give employment. to thousands of work- men and millions of capital. The inci- dent will furnish him with an argument which his democratic opponent will find it hard to answer, since only a couple of months ago he made the dec- laration that tin plate could not be made in this country, and that there was no tin ore in America. And the good effect of this interesting episode in the re- markable campaign Major McKinley is making will possibly not be confined to Ohio, we ligence, railronds or as we consume —e THE RAILROADS SUPPORT BOIES. The evidence indubitable that the railroad intorests in Towa are exerting their influence for Boies. The charge that the governor hus been friendly to the corporations has heen persistently denied by his supporters, but the atti- tude of the railvoads toward him shows that they repose in him entive confi- dence. The corporations evidently fool that now is their opportunity to effect a change in the political control of the state that will enable them to secure such modifications as they wish in the legislation regulat- ing railroad rates, aud they are in- siduously doing all they can to bring about democratic success. They are not doing this without an' accurate knowl- odge of whom they can rely upon. It 15 not necessary that there should be any formal understanding between the dem- ocratic candidate and the corporations. They have sufficient reason to trast him to warraut them in giving him their support, and it is not to be doubted that he will cheerfully accept it and puy the reward if he is given an op- portunity to do »o. There can be no doubt that if the democrats should suc- ceed 1n obtaining control of the executive and legislative branches of the govern- ment in Towait would be to the advan- tage of the corporations. The party would modify existing legislation relat- ing to the railronds pretty nearly as the railronds should dictate. If the part, should be successful only so far as to re-elect Governor Boies that would benefit the corporations in giving them an influence in affairs for ob- structing the execution of existing leg- Islation, as well us for preventing fur- lation. With a friend insthe ollice of chiei excoutive, such as there is good reason to believe Governor Boies is, the corporations would bo enabled to do peotty neurly as they pleased during the term of his sdministration. This is not the least important matter for the consideration of the people of lowa in the pending contest. Rail- road regulation in that state was effected after u prolonged struggle, and without the assistance or sympathy of the democratic party. The policy OMAHA DAILYX | shouta ve maintained, and the only security for fts malntenance is ropub- can control of the stato administration, The democracy everywhere mnkes vig- orous profession of hostility 1o monop- oly and corporate power, but nowhere has it given practical evidence of sin- cerity. The party in Towa is no more 1o be trusted than the party in Ohio or New York, where it has never originated a single law for the regulation and restraint of corporations, although having abundant opportunities to do o, With the democracy of lowa committed to free and in practical al- liance with the railroads, there ought to be no doubt regarding republican vic- tory in that state, THE POSTAL SERVICE. Postmaster General Wanamaker has already made a vecord for great practi- cal ability in the administration of the postal service, which will compare favor- ably with that of the ablest of his prede- cessors, He found theservice in a worse condition than it had been in for years, due in part to the inefliciency of the first incumbent of the postmaster general- ship in the Cleveland administration, Mr. Vilas, but more largely to the fact that during the last year of that administration tho pos- tal service was turned to po- Titi, and he has brought it to a higher state of efficiency than ever before. He has not accomplished all that he desired, owing to the failure of to give bim tho ne ary but to the extent of the powers granted him he has put the service in better condition than at any time betore in its history, and made it equal, if not superior, any in tho world, The postmaster general intends, as stated inan eastern journal, to urge upon the Fifty-second congross the views ho submitted to the last congress regarding the establishment of a modi- fled system of postal telegraph and in favor of postai savings banks, With respect to the former, Mr. Wanamaker will be in possession of much important additional information as to the working of the postal telegraph systems of Bu- rope that will serve to give greater weight to his arguments, There is no question of the complote success of pos- tal elegraphy in England, or of the great benefit it has been to the public, and there is no sound rea- son why it cannot be made as successful here. The plan has for its objecta cheaper and more efficient service to the publie, and nobody who understands the matter doubts that this is attainable without any cost to the government, that is, that the system would be solf- supporting. As to the professed fear that it would become a political machine, the objection is of so littlo consequence as hardly to deserve serious consideration Tn England and France the idea of connecting politics with the system in any way has never boen thought of, and there is no more reason why postal tele- graph employes in chis country should be subjected to poiitical influence or partisan control than there 15 in the case of lotter carriers, who vote as they please and are simply requived not to actively engage in politics. Another absurd objection that has been made is, that dispatches would be less secure and sacred than uow, as if the officials of the government are less trustworthy than the employes of a corporation. There is, in fact; not a single valid argu- ment against a postal telograph sys- tem. . With regard to postal savings banks there is much to be said in favor of es- tablishing them. It is understood that the postmaster general will recommond that the system be tried at first in thoso states where there are nosavings banks, one effect of which would be to put in ulation savings which are now hid- den in stockings or locked up in money chests. A difficulty is how to use the money that would be entrusted to the government, since it could not go into the business of loaning such funds pro- miscuously. This diflculty, however, may not be found insurmountable. silver uses, congress authori o MiINISTER PHELPS appears to have pleased the German people quite as much as his own countrymen by the suc- cess of his efforts for the removal of the prohibition agairst American pork, It was a very high compliment that Count Von Walderseo paid Mr. Phelps in say- ing that the action of the German gov- ernment was wholly due to him, and it is not to be doubted that the count spoke from an accurate knowledge of the fact. It has been supposed that the chief influence with the German govern- ment was the fear that President Har- rison would excrcise his authority to restore the duty on beet sugar coming to this country from Germany, and that such action had been threatened, but Minister Phelps said there was nothing of the sort, that Lo nover either formally or informally referred to such a possi- bility. He thought it better to appeal 10 raason and the sense of justice and fair play towards a friondly nation, and the result vindicated his judgment. It is certainly much more satisfactory to ave obtained the valuable concession in this way, since tho effect is to make stronger the friendly feeling botween the two nations. Mr. Phelos fully merits the congratulations he has received. IFr Jub Broavy Henninger and Brogan could draw their votes from Colorado they would be triumphantly elected. . Colorado wants silver men on the Nebraska supreme bench, and in the Board of Regents of the Nobraska university, Colorado democrats are unlike Ne- braska democrats in that the former are solid for free coinage, and the latter are divided upon the question, B REV.

Tht reverend gentlemen should at least have been truthful in his criticism of an institution which has come to stay. “The language of the rumshop and the brothel” is not carried to the doorstep of Methodists nor any- body else in the average Sunday newspa- per.

This is tho sort of a high moral and purely roliable newspaper the Omaha World-Herald 15. It says that “among other things it pub- lishes political gossip. Some fs truo and somo is false.

The republican party can no longer expect to carry this state on the prestige of pastachisvements; it must place in the field as its nominees men in closest touch with the people. Unless this is done the batile will be already lost before the ad- journment of the convention. Thou- sands of ropublicans are loth to leavo tne old party aud are anxiously awaiting the action of the coming conven- tion. It is a critical condition that confronts tho party at this time, and no experimenting th the temper of the voters can be haz- arded. Judge Reeso has decided to allow his friends to present his nume to the republican state convention tor nomination for ussociate judge. He will not use any underhanded means 1o secure the vomination, but says it mast come as the spontaneous wish of the masses of the party.

Tho nomination for justice of tha supreme court, made by the late democratic stato con- vention, must be acknowledged as a pood one, far superior to the inconsiderate nowm- inauion of the poor lawyer, Edgerton, by the indopendents. There is hardly a doubt that Mr. Broady is a good sound lawyer and an bonest man, independent of the corporations, whom 1t will be hard to beat, unless the re- publicans nominato their very best man, a man of great state reputation for high in- tegrity, extensive legal loarning, firm char- acter and perfect independence from corpor- ation wfluence. This man probably would bo Judge Roes and by no means the prosent incumbent, Mr. Cobo. Mr. Cobb in & great many respects may be a good man. but ho enjoys not the confidence of the peoplo to such a degree that he would bo a sate candidate. His nomination un- doubtedly would result in republican de- feat, as tho republicans at least havo only a small plurality, which by a blunder in the nomination con easily bo concerted into a minority, as the defeats of Richards and Dorsey last year have shown.

Effect of Balmacedas Death on Min- ister Egan's Affair—-Belief Cur- rent that He Is to Be Fully Exonerated, Wasnixaroy Buneav or Tite Be, } 1"OURTRENT STRRET, Wastixatoy, D, C., Sept. 21, All classos of business mon are interested in the prompt aud officient, administration of postal affairs. The interesting results which have boon received at the Postofice Depart- ment in Washington from searching inguiries show what improvements have been made in tho survico of prominent lowa ofMicas, Accu- racy and rapidity som to charactorize the work of Postmaster Isaac Brandt and his co- workers at Dos Moines, A more satisfactory arrangement in the location of the various divisions of the offico facilitates business. Mr. Brandt has early anticipated some of the postmaster genoral's later suggostions as to fraquent conforences botweon postal ofices, and tho entire sorvice at Des Moines has beon greatly benefitted thereby. An entiro rearrangement of the Fort Dodge postoftic under the business like manage- ment of Postmaster Cyrus C. Carpentor has added greatly to the eficiency of the service at this office, Postmaster k. Root of Keokuk reports marked improvement in the carrior service, involving a roduction of 50 per cont 1n the dead lettors. Moro satisfactory collec- tions and quicker servico on all tho routes havo been secured by the oftice givinga greut deal of porsonal attention to the details of the work. The postmaster general has been able to furnish a service that is much appreciated by the people. An excollent manual of vostal information has been furnished to the principal patrons of the Muscatine office and in other ways tho originality and eoterprise of Postmuster John Mahin show that he is the right man in the right plac ‘e postoMce at Oskaloosa is skowing en- couraging results as might be expocted from the businoss methods of Postmaster Albort W.

K. Kirk, have reason to bo proud of the largest per cent of increase in busiuess of any postoffice in the country. Twenty-nine per cent is indeed something worth talking about. Mr. Kirks success as @ postmaster under two previous administrations and his_creditable rocord under the present administration are due to his suverior businesslike principles, and it is ooly a lameutablo Lack of appropria’ tions, for which congress alone is responsi- ble, that prevents many needed fucilities to enable this important oftico to keep pace with the wonderful dovelopment of the city. CAUSED MUCI COMMENT. The abrupt turn around of Representative Mills of Toxas from free silver coinage to tho Cleveland idea has created some surprise hore aud is the occasion of comment._by the enure democratic press of New York to- day. Mills nas been a howling free coinage advocate in the house. His sudden change of heart asshown on the stump i Ohlo is interpreted by every .ono here to mean that he has reached an un- derstanding with Mr. Cleveland whereby the lattor is to use his infiuence in the east to elect Mills speakor of the house and in turn the latter will help Cloveland all he can on bis anti-silver record. It is believed that Mills' speech on the stump in Ohio will henceforth isjure tho democratic ticket, since he repudiatos ono of its principal plat- form planks and immediately precipitates & serious division in the party. LAND-GRABBERS OF OKLATIOMA. The excitemont among the land-grabbors of Okiahoma and the possibilities of riot and bloodshed incline the general land ofice to find some less barbarous way of opening public lands to settiers. Tho prescnt system invites just such disorder as that now oceur- ring. It is probable that when congress moets a plan will be proposed which wiil put an end to Oklghoma shotgun titles. 'The plan contemplates a sale of public lands at auction. This, itis urged by the officials at the land ofcd, would not only briug about u peacoful settlement of public lands and retire the shot- gun settlers to the rear, but would yield an enormous revenue to the government. Now that the public domain is nearly exhausted there aro many who believe it ought to yield something to the government 1nstead of being given away toa mob. Senator Doiph will probably be the author of the new plan.

Will they condemn the taking of the duty off sugar as & contribution to any corruption fund ! Dare taey say the reduction of duties on binding-twine, copper and steel, and the cheap kina of cotton goods goes to swell the fund to ‘‘repay” tho protective industries! And will the people of Nobraska who have recontly undertaken beet culture on a large scale admit that the sugar bounty is 10 them a corruption fund? Probably not. —— Colorado and Nebraska. Denver Sun. Omaba is working hard to secare the re- publican nationul convention of next year. She, with Council Blufts, just across the Mis- sourl, guarantoes ample accommodations to the delogates and all others who may attend. A republican presidential convention has been held in a city further west than Chicago. The trausmississippi country is certainly entitled to some consideration from the republican party. It has always given a g00 d many electoral votes to its presidential candidates. The holding of a national convention at Omaha would be a waterial benefit to the far wost. It would bring to that section a great many leading and representative men to see for themselves how groat and how rich it really is. Tho country west of the Mississippi, in very truth suffers a good deal, fails in large part to get its des- serts. bocaiise the east does not know. what it is. Colorado, so far as oxpression has been given to hor popular sentiment, seconds the offorts of Nebraska to secure for her metropo- lis the national convention of next year. But official force should be given to this senti- ment. The republican convention soon to meet would do well to adopt a resolution urg- ing the selection of Omaha as the place for holding the great convention. Cclorado and Nebraska have many common interests. They should support each other in all things !lhut work for the good of their common sec- tion. e PASSING JESTS.
