He will not be attacked, be- causo no man can sy o word to his dis- credit. THERE is one thing which can be said of the silver plank in the Colorado re- publican platform. It is couched in language which cannot be inisinter- preted. —,_,—— ATEMALA is threatened with a good sized revolution. This is the normal condition of Guatemala, however, and occasions scarcely surprise enough to oxcite comment. How would it do to put County Attor- ney Mahoney’s other partnor on the democratic ticket for associate justico of the supreme court now that Judge Broady is out of the ra He is thirty years old. PINE RIDGE agency Indians have marketed over 5,000 bushels of wheat of their own growing at the townsadjacent to the reservation. This is another evi- dence that the late hostiles are peace- ably disposed. — MINNEAPOLIS has raised a guarantee fund for the republican national conven- tion of nearly $50,000, but her commit- tee of fifty is in the midst of a row which may eventually take the Flour City out of the contest. — REPUBLICANS of Nebraska are nowat the threshold of the most important political campaign ever held in the state. They have overything in thoir favor, and if every republican does his whole duty Nebraska will swing back grandly into line asa sure republican state in 1892, A SPECIAL grand jury would b a bet- tor committee of investigation than any three men whom the district judges might select to inquire into the actions of the county commissioners, Why did not the commiseioners ask for such an inquisition as would clear upall the ugly rumors against all public officials at tho same time? —_— JupGe J RSON H. BROADY de- clines the nomination for nssociate jus- tice of the supreme court. This is al- most conclusive proof that Congressman Bryan prevaricated when he gave the Grand Island convention to understand that the little judicial ginnt of Beatrice was anxious for the empty honor of making o losing canvass for this office. — COLORADO republicans in convention assembled declare in favor of Omaha as the place for holding the next ropub- lican pational convention. When Colo- rado wants anything reasonable at the hands of Omaha and Nebraska all she needs to do to secure it is to indicate her wishes. Colorado republicans will ace cept the thunks of Omaha for the gener- ous support of her umbition, HYPHENATED howls against the rail- ronds will not elect an ignoramous as chief justice of the supreme court. This is no yellow dog campaign. When it comes to filling the highest judicial office in Nebraska the people will de- mand a man of experience, logal attain- wments and ability, and not an office- seeking demagogue who has never had & case in the supreme court and has no standing at the district bar. BOULANGER has committed suicido, thus bringing to a cowardly end a badly wrecked career marked by the antithe- ses of physical bravery and moral cow- ardice, As a soldier the general was brilliant and brave; as a cabinet office and politician he was weak; as u leader of political thought a failure. As an ad- venturer exiled from his country he was a coward, Suicide at the grave of a mistress is the climax of French tragedy and Boulanger’s end well fitted his life, BOULANGER'S IGNOBLE END. A suicide’s death on the grave of his So ended the Gen Boulan but u few short years the admired in whom miliions of Frenchmen reposed eonfi- dence and hope, the leader of a vast following, the hero of the popt whose name was more frequentl nounced throughout Europe that of other man in and whose movements sumed moro tho: mistress, cureer of eral ago soldier 0 pro- than France, nd any e subjects of anxiety than wan on the Kuropean continent. This man, who so brief a time ago could call to hissup- port haif of his countrymen, now lies dead in a foreign land, and there are few 50 poor to do him rever There is matter in this for the moralist, und as well a loszon for those who need to rn that there is an ambition which o’erleaps itself. The world Boulanger, even with his own countrymen he had fallen almost entirely out of consideration, A few loyal friends he may still have had in Frs that he was a sin- » patriot who desired only the good of his country, but the number of such ennnot be large. The vast majority of Frenchmen know him to have been a selfish, unscrupulous schemer, who would not have hesitated to overthrow the institutions of his country in order to the pow he craved. Th is nothing the r of Boulanger to admired or commended, He was essontially a charlatan, His record as n soldier pre- sents nothing to show that he had or military ability. e was popular with the army, not because of anything he had done as a soldier, but for the venson that he had a way of impressing people with the idea that he could do something if the opportunity was given him, It was this faculty that made him a leader and hero of the populace Like all charlatans he was given to pompous display and loud protension, which is very offective with the masses everywhere, and no- where so much so as in France. Called to the head of the military department, P vy of war, he proved to be totaliy incompetent to perform the du- ties of the position, but it gave him a chance 1o do some plotting in his own interest and the mischiefl he did was not easily remedied. He became insubordi- nate as a soldier, dangerous as a citizen, and so recklessly did he step from one to another position of menaco to the peace and order of the nation that after his last overwhelming defeat at the hands of tho people nothing re- mained for him but to seeic safety from an outraged public opinion in exile. From Bngland he made efforts to re- guin the confidence of the French peo- ple, but they were futile. His true character had been so fully disciosed that his countrymer, heartily ashamed of the support they had given him, would have nothing more to do with him. His weak and shal- low manifestos were derided and ridi- culed, and with no other resources but the bounty of the mistress, herself an exile, on whose grave he sent a bullet into his brain, Boulanger fell 1nto merited obscurity. The manner of his taking off was cortainiy a pitiful ending of alife that rightly directed might have been useful to his country, but as it was the wobld loses nothing for his having left it. were and designs discussion S almost any othe had about forgotten and nce who believ attain in be su- pe HOW CANADA REGARDS IT. ‘While the democratic party is declar- ing that reciprocity is a humbug, the Canadian government is manifesting uneasiness over the rapidity with whi arrangements with the South Amer markets are increasing the demand for the merchandise of the Unitod States The evidence of this is found in the utterance of thoe Cana- dian journals. The Jeading Cuna- dian newspaper recently remarked, after showing the effect of the Brazilian treaty upon American exports, that if the same ratio of increase be maintained the in- crease fora year will be nearly $6,000,000, or nearly only one-half as much as the total value of all the exports from the United States to Brazil for the last fiscal year. This Canadian journal assumes that the relative ben- ofits will be greater as each month passes, and concludes that the arrang ments entered into by the United States will put Canada out of the race alto- gether. There can be no question that this sen- timent prevails generally in the Domin- ion, and one effect of it is seen in the more ernest dis- position of the present premicr of the Dominion to bring about reciprocity ar- vly in the present month, and all the indications are that the Canadian government will go to Washington with an earnest desire to enter upon negotiations with the pnrpose of effecting a satisfactory arrangement The prospect, however, of renching a satisfactory understanding is far from favorable. The fact is ihat Cana is handicapped in this matter by her trado relations with the mother country, and so long as she is in that position thero is little chance of her being ablo to offer any arvangement that will be satisfactory tothe United States. Never- theless, our government will undoubt- edly listen to all the propositions which the government of Canada will be pre pared to offer. Meanwhile it is intorest- ing to know that our northern neighbors aro realizing that the progress which the United States is making in extend- ing its trade with the southern countries is disastrous to Canadian hopes in the same direction, because it is important testimony in favor of re A WAREHOUSE SYSTEM, As has been repeitedly remarked a grain market cannot be opened with a corkscrew and created by a nominal open board for dealing in grain, Wo must have warehouses for storing grain before warehouse receipts can figure in the daily transactions of our banks and other commercial institutions. Omaha canoot become a great grain mart so long as the oxtent of grain opera- tious consists in buying on the Chicago board through local agents, and trans- our | Mr. Mahoney ferring carloads of grain from one rail- ! rond to another through one elovator. Weo must have flouring mills, malt houses, distilleries, cereal mills and similar ex- tensive institutions for the consumption of grain before there will be any local demand for grain sufficient to dignify Omaha into a loeal geain market While these are being developed, ho: ever, there is no son in the world which should deter capitalists from em- barking in the enterprise of constructing and operating extensive warehouses, provided the railways are honest in their declaration that they will place every elovator or grain ware- house on precisely the same foot- ing for handling grain profitably. There is one grain firm in Omaha now doing an extensive and TrHe BEE is informed other elevators aggro- gating a capacity of 750,000 bushels would be speedily erccted if the rail roads, and especially the Union Pacific, will treat all alike. It is fair to presume tl Traflic Manager Mellen of the Union Pacific will guarantee fair treat- ment and assist in building up a ware- house business here. A warehouse system in Omaha as entirely practicable in Chicago. \in intended for Baltimore, St. Louis, Duluth, Buffalo, Galveston, New Orleans or Peoria well be stored in Omaha and from Omuha as from Chicago under the sys- tem of through billing which the rail- ways are willing to and do make for this city, The B. & M. and Elkhorn can unquestionably be brought into line for Omaha in the grain business they came up to the requirements of tho stock market, if we provide .the facili- ties here for doing business as the facil- ties have been provided South Omaha, The bank clearances, the goneral commercial prosperity and the importance of Omaha us a distributing con an all be hanced by devoting attention to this subject of a grain market. The bankers of this city are perhaps more deeply in- terested in the development of a ware- houso system here than any other class of our citizens, THE BEE suggests that the bankers join hands with the Board of Trade, the real estate owners aud the grain dealers and work out this problem without delay. Tvisnot diffi- cult of solution if once thorough D- prehended and given the candid, careful attention of our best business men. ever business is as can as marketed ronds just as at en- KEEP UP THE INTERENT. Omaha manufacturers ave largely to blame for the indifference which has hitherto existed amnong Omaha people with regard to Omaha goods. They have not pushed their manufactures in- to public attention; they have not suc- cessfully persuaded retail dealers to as- sist them and they have neglected their business in other particulars. They all understand and appreciate theso facts now that Tue BEE has pointed out the truth that Omaha people are more than will ing to give Omaha goods the pre erence. They cannot rest, however, on what the newspapers do or stand back and de- pend upon individual effort for the good results they have a right to anticipate. The iron is now hot. Thenew organiza- tion is on its feet. Every manufacturer must take hold with every other manu- facturer and all working (- zether take advantage of the opnortunity never before presented of making a grand forward movement all along the line in favor of Omaha, Omaha goods and Omauha factories. The only way tomake the resulis com- mensurate with the opportunity is for every than engaged in manufacturing in Omaha to step into the ranks of the new association and give it the benefit of his moral support and financial co-operation. There must be no lagging, no oozing out of enthusinsm, no neglect of duty. The good work has renched the point where whatever else is accomplished must come from a union of effort, an aggres- sive taking hold of opportunity and a long, strong push for Omaha, Omaha. people and Omaha industries. Every manufacturer has an individual duty to perform which he will to his own disadvantage and to the disadvan- tage of this community. Let every man- ufacturer in Omaha join the association now. neglect COLONEL C. R. Scorr secured tho endorsement of the Colorado republic state convention for Omaha as a candidate for the honor of entertainin the republican national convention. This samo ti gentleman headed the Omaha delegation to the fowa state convention which secured that state also for Omaha. Moreover, it was he who presented our claims to the national executive committae in Washington with such skiil as to awaken an interest and set the eastern press to discussing Omaha us the only rival of Chicago in the contest for the national convention. In season and out of season Colonel Scott has worked for Omaha, He i cheerfully devoted his time to the ente prise and to his energy, intelligence, quaintance and ability this city largely owes the prominence which Omaha has attained in he wndidacy, Tne Beg for itself and on behalf of all citizens who have had this great enterprise at heart thus publicly thanks Colonel Scott for his loyal, persistent, effective work and hes also on behall of itseli and all concerned that Omaha had a train- load of magnetic gentlomen like him with whom to move upon the committen at its coming meeting for the final set- tlement of the quostion. enorg SECTION 23, chapter 19, RRevised Stat. utes, 1880, reads as follows: shall be eligible to the office of district judge in any of said districts unless he is also eligiblo to the offico of supreme judge.” The democratic convention probably lost sight of this section of the law when it honored the boy lawyer from Sarpy county with a nomination for dis- teict judge, A supr judge must be at least thirty years of age “No person T.

Judge Hopewell hus earned an unani- mous nomination at the hands of the re- publicans of this district, and a re-elec- tion from the people by his upright char- acter, his legal attainments and his suc- cessful experience on the district bench during the past five yoars. — UNION PACIFIC DIRECTOR PADDOCK got home from the New York meoting of tho government directors in time to represent Douglas precinet in company with ilenry Ruser of Ruser’s park in the district judicial convention. He presided over its deliberations ~with proper dignity, although the assembled unterrified declined to take his adv to make non-partisan nominations. THE democratie distriet judicial con- vention was not aware that Burt and Washington counties are in the Fourth judicial district. It therefore ignoved the north end of the distr entively, although in making its partisan nomi- nations it went outside the ranks of the democratic party for one eandidate, CHARLIE SQUIRES has wasted a great denl of time dver his old street sweeping claim. It would have been cheaper in the long run to have appealed to the courts at the outset of the controversy always provided the claim is legitimate. THE BEE sees no especial objection to the appropriation by the commissioners of $1,500 for the state advertising train. It will not be a bad investment for Douglas county, THE city government was extensiv represented in the democratic judicial convention, The eity government is achieving a good denl of prominence lately. JUDGING from present appearances tho Bar association has been rvetired from the business of creating judges of the district court in this judicial dis- trict. ’ THE council invéstigation is taking a wide range and its drag net ought to be equal to the tusk of landing at least part of the boodlers.
