They have beon making a vigorous fight, and it is not surprising that some of the londers veported to be worn out by the arduous work that has been demanded of them, but if there are any who cannot keep the field until the battle is ended others should be found to take their places. It is far more important in the closing days of a campaign than at the opening that a party should put forth its greatest efforts, and the party that relaxes at the last betrays a sense of weakness which is apt to it more than it had gained. There is nothing discour- aging in the Jowa outlook for the republicans. On the con- trary there is good reason to believe they will be victorious by a handsome plurality. The most trustworthy opin- ion is that, as the result of the cumpaign thus far, their gains have been very much larger than theirlosses. Butnone the less, it is important and necessary that they keep up the fight until it won. po- a0 be ar lose o THE GOVERNMENT IN ) The advices from Washington leave no doubt that the government is very much in earnest in demanding repava- tion of Chili for the outrages upon American sailors. It seems that the ad- ministration very proverly vegards the matter as rather more serious than would have been an assault upon citi- zens of the United States not in the servies of the govern- ment. The feeling it corvectly represented, that the outrage at Valpa- in which two American seamen have lost their lives, a8 gross an insult to the government of the United States as would have been an attack upon tho flag of the United States. It is also felt that the arrest and detention of the survivors of the outrage was as gross a violation of the rights and dignity of the United States as would have been the and dotention of its diplomatic representative at Suntingo under like circumstances, Such being the view of the administration, it of course declines to give any consideration to the palli- ating plowof the Chilian government that tho murderous occurrence was simply a str ow, and therefore not is, raiso, was arrest | ono-fourth to be seriously considered us an interna- tional issue. Another aggravating cir- cumstance is the fact that the Chilian authorities have taken no steps to ap- prehend and punish the perpetrators of the outruge. Although there is unquestionably a deep dislike of Americans in Chili, which is doubtless shared by the juntu, the best opinion is that the govern- ment will not provoke a war with the United States. It is heav- ily in debt and its resources wore severely strained by the late reve lution, besides which the more intell ant wtive men in power must understand that a war with this country conld only eventuate in the most disustrous consequences to Chili. The tation in Washington, there- fore, is t the Chilian govern- ment will promptly come torms, Meanwhile the movewcnts of our naval vessel: show that the government is determined to pre- pared for any emergency. The Amer- ican fleet in Chilian waters will be made sufliciently strong to carry an influence which ‘the presence of only two ships cannot exert, and if necessary there hulf a dozen vessels that can be sent to Chili at once. It is plain that the ad- ministration intends there shall be no more toleration of tho arrogance and tho indignities of the Chulian junta. THE OMAHA GRAIN MARKET. When St. Louis started her open Board of Trade more than 3,500 of her immedintoly hed for teading memberships, Comparatively fow of these people nctually utilize their privileges or expected to be di- rectly henefited by them. They contri- buted the membership foo of $100 and agreed to pay annual dues of $20 to en cournge tho enterprise. Trading mem- borships in the Omaha board cost but $10 onch, yet very fow outside of the grain men have been taken. Our peo- ple do not appreciate the importance of the undertaking in which a few mem- bers of the Board of Trade are engaged. They do not give those euterprising gentlemen the moral or financial en- couragement they deserve and are hin- dering rather than helping the good work of building up in Omaha a home market for Nebraska grain, The open hoard in the face of almost insurmountable difticultics is moving forward, and the beginning, though in- significant by comparison with the busi- nness ingother cities, has been made. Every day at 11 @’clock a call occurs and every day sales are offccted on tho | are quoted for Omaha, and people out in the state are basing caleulutions upon them. The fact is, that the grain men of Nebraska and conser expec to o citizons subse open bourd. Prices and the grain producers who keep in- | round.” formed upon the pr of markets are far more enthusiastic over Omaha's outlook than we ourselves. They appro- ciate the valué of a market near at hand, having enjoyed the practical benefits of such facilities at South Omaha, It must not be forgotton either in this connection that seven years ago the prospect at South Omaha for a live | stock market was no more encouraging | than it is today in this city for a grain | marke g greas dvantage of making this a grain | traffic conter can hardl overesti- mated. We shall market 100,000,000 bushels of corn, 30,000,000 bushels of whent, 20,000,000 bushels of oats and a large yield of barley, rye and flax this year. If the product of half oreven the could turned through elevators at O.unaha, or could be bought and in Omaha, the earings of this city would swell to sur- prising proportions and the open Board of T'rade would become a feature of our commercial prospervity. The business would all in Omaha South Omaha is a sepurate city w its banks and distinet inter Warehouses, mills, malt houses, distilleries and all other institutions for handling or consuming grain would but add to the importance of the local market and stimulato the general business of this community. To the o dealers the advantage of quick returns is inestimable. Omuaha bankers especially and Omaha peoplo ally are derelict in their duty in this matter. is unfair to expect half wdozen wide awake grain dealers to carry the responsibility alone. They should have the heartiest co-operation of every financial institution in Omaha. be seod state bo sold be transacted | proper. th ow sido NO! BE TRUSTED. John Groves is capablo and honest and his experience with public affairs commends him 10 the voters.— IV, ld-Herald. Th a good voucher, but it will not pass current in this community. Mr. Groves was put into the clerk’s office by the council combine of 1840, That com- bine solected him, not because he was capable and honest, but because he would do the bidding of the Tammany Twenty- cighters and the contractors who were behind the combine. His conduc clevk has been satisfactory to his bacl It was chiefly because such men as Groves have been foisted upon the city by council combines and contractors that the chavter v amended by the last legislature so as to take the election of the city clerk out of the hands of the council and let the peo- ple elect him. Tho city clerk’s office is a very impov ant position. A man who is disposed to play into the hands of contractors and claimants can readily make up the jour- nals of the council to suit his friends. He can lose or mislay important papers or documents that would compromise boodlers and help in various wa to cover their tracks. Nobody contends that Mr. Groves is not competent to fiil tho place for which he is a candidate, but his associations and tke conduct of the office since he has had charge of it do not recommend him as a trust- wortiy man for the position. ns WHAT DO 17 MEANT The demand for u fair election and an honest count cannot b disregarded by Muayor Cushing and the democratic council without justifying the suspicion that they aro parties to a plot to nullify the will of the people at the coming clection. When the republican central committeo ed Mayor Cushi to allow thewn to recommend out of the seven clection polling place he guve them to understand that their request would receive im- partial consideration. When the com- mittees presented their lists Mayor Cushing declines to appoint the partios named, but insists upon filiing the entire election boards with his own partisans and galvanized republicans who ave oxpected to coineide with thom. What doos this mean? Is the Austral- 1an ballot law to be made a farce by the packing of election boards? What object Mayor Cushing have in rejecting most of the names submit- ted by the republicans and substituting thercfor men who are diseredited by the committee? Is not the action of Mayor Cushing likely to incite n ‘trouble and throw distrust upon the correctness of the returns? threo officers at each an ac elec ANOTHER CRUSADE. The liguor dealers of Omaha ave being wmarshalled to the support of Henry Ost- holf on the promise that just as soon as he becomes mayor the saloon doors are to be thrown wide open seven days and seven nights in the week. If tho liquor dealers of this city imag- ino for o moment that such a programme can be carried out they reckon without their host. The first effect of such de- fiant disvegard of the law would be to arouse the resentment of all law-re- specting citizens and Incito unother pro- hibition ¢ But neithe usude. Henry Osthofl nor any other man yi tho oftice of muyor will bo able to nullify the high license law in any material partic- ular. Tho control and super of the liquor traflic is in the hands of the police commission. The mayor has only a eusting vote in that commission and he Is utterly poworless to prevent the striet enforcemont of the law by the po- lice so long as a majority of the commis- sion do not join with him. Now suppose two of the commissioners should spire with OstholY to nullify the law, how long would the allowed to hold their places? There would b a petition seven miles within forty-eight hours demanding their removal by the governor, and the governor would be in duty bound to take off their heads.

They cannot cover up their tracks by pretending to work for Dr. Conkling. They know well enough that the fight is squarely between Bemis and Osthoff and they know that they have used Osthoft in the council and can use him again. Tue independents of Burt county, who were utterly ignored in the inde- pendent judicial convention, have de- cided to thraw theiv supnort to Judge Hopewell, who has lived in that county for many yenrs. The democrats of Burt are also outspoken i favor of Judge Hopewell. 1t is stated by.all party leaders that Hopewell will receive the united and almost unanimous support of all parties in his candidacy for re- election to the distriet bench. TWO FURNITURE companies from the east attempted to secure the city hall contract. Testimony has been offered to show that both offered money for votes. The representatives of these two houses appear to have understood the situation and to have learned in some way that boodle was required. Weo need a city council with a better reputation. REMEMBER, workingmen, that though George P. Bemis, the republi nominee for mayor, has sold over 300 lots in this city, mostly on easy pay- ments, he has never foreelosed a mort- gage. How wany other men of mes in Omaha have a similar record? CHiLI should be compelled to apologize of course forthe maltreatment of our sailors and reparation should be made to the relatives of those murdered, but this great nation can afford tobe patient and considerate. until the new govern- ment is fairly organized. al- M. C one of the seven candidutes nominated by the republi- cans of this district, isa man with an excellent record und thoroughly reiinble upon issues that may arise between the corporations and the people. He should by all means be elooted. HENRY OSTHOFF voted for the $40,000 gas claim of January 14, 1890. This has not been forgotten by the people of Omaha. It was among the first official acts of the hoodlums’ candidate for mayor. REMEMBER that if you are not regist- ered you cannot vote, unless you have a vahd excuse for failing to register and in that case you must swear in your vote. Register next Friday or Satur- aay. THOMAS B. MINAHAN has affiliated with three political parties within a yeav or two. If he is as uncertain upon points of law us points @f politics, he would make a very unreliable district judge. Louis BERKA, the republican nomi- nee for polico judge, is a man entitled to the respeet and confiGence of this com- munity. He has been tried and not found wanting in this important office. HeENRY OsTHOFF voted for the Ketcham furniture contract in face of the fact that a home bidder offered to furnish the ecity ball for $2,600 less than the Ketcham company. MOREARTY resigned a position pay- ing #1,000 a yeur to enter the city coun- cil at $600. On the face of it this would look like a dead loss of election expenses and $400 per annum. OSTHOFF was a member of the solid twelve which disgraced the city council in 1890, and part of whoso mombers were repudiated by the people at the last election, BACKFIRING is scavcoly legitimate so long as the original charges of corrup- tion remain to be disprovea before the council investigating committee, WHAT interest can a ward councilman have 1 the old registration lists of his ward when new required by law? lists are COUNCILMEN with *for sale” written on their records cannot be expected to biush when bribes are offered.

It is from tho commission appolnted by the president cighteen months ago, com- posed of well known nd oleo triclans to investigato the subject of subways in Washington and municipal ownership of cortain enterprises, The report was largely propared by Mr. Andrew Rosewater o Omaha and presents probably the first ablo and earnest argumont over made in this country In favor of municipal ownership of street railways. It cites Paris and other for- eign citios to show that streot railroads may beowned and operated through leases by citios 50 88 to make large revenues and at the samo timo prove in every way, greatly to the ad- vantage of the people. Kiectric light, gns and waterworks, tho commission declares, should in every instanco be owned by tho cities, 'The cowmission takos theunqualified ground that municipalities shoutd own and control every thing that occupies streets above or below the surface, It gives a nogative to the argument of the telegaaph companies that it impairs the operation of telegraph wires to place them under ground, producing the statement of electrictans from London and elsewhero to show. that tele- graph wires, many times of greater length underground than would be necessary nere, are not in the least impaired by beini placed under ground. It recommends the immediate adoption of the underground cablo system for telograph and telephone wires and says it is a humiliating spectacle to seo a telegraph company defy the direction of tho United States government by refusing to put its wires under ground. Tho report s able and exhaustive, 1t will be sent to_congress by the president and printed for public use and will be of great interest in large cities. enginoers Again the oir about’ Washington has been filled with rumors that Stephen B.

It may be that Presi- dent Harrison will conclude to tenderthe war vortiolio to Mr. Klkins, but up to this evening he surely has .not in- timated to any one that he intended to do so. He hus not even talked to any mem- ber of the cabinet about the selection of Mr. Elkine, and if he really intends to offer the place 10 a West Virginian he has kept tho secret well within himself, and not even his most intimate political or personal fricads who have journeyed in_the interest of Mr. Elkins, have be the timation that he is to be mado of war. Quite anumber of prominent republicans, among them it is said Mr. Carnegie, Mr. Proctor, Senator Edmunds and General Sewell, have urged the appointment of Mr. Ilkins, and it may be that he has been, with other men, taken tuto the consideration of the president, but there appears to be no more foundation at this time for the an- nouncement_that Mr. Elkins is to be made secretary of war than there 1s for such a statement involving the name of any one of the half-dozen men who have been named i councetion with the place.
