SAN I'RANCISCO is a little late ahout it but nevertheless earnest in making an attempt to secure one of the national conventions, Omaha has, of course, the lead for the republican meeting, but we are for San Francisco for one of the others. TENNESSEE'S governor is out with a proclamation offering a reward of $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of tho leaders of the Briceville mob which liberated the state prison convicts em- ployed in the mines. A reward of this magnitudo is dangerous to tho integrity of detectives and witnesses, but it is very diflicult to fix leadership where 8,000 men ave oither lenders or follow- ors. DeADWOOD is by all odds the best mining camp in this country at the pros- ont time. It is growing in wealth and population. New ore strikes are an- nounced nearly ovory day. Smolters and reducing plants arve growing up on all sides and the wonderfully rich min- eral regions of the Black Hills ave being developed as never before. Omabha and Nebraska are interested in the growth and prospority of this fine region and everything possible should be done to unite the commercial intorests of the two sections.

A RECORD OF SPLENDID SERVICE, lvery farmer in the United S owes n generous measure of gratitude to the administration”of Presigent Harri- son for its signal success in obtaining concessions from Buropean governments in the interest of the products of the farm. After nearly ten years of ex sion the pork products of this country now have freo entrunce into many, and there is favorable pro- mise that the German government will be induced to reduce if not to remove the duty on corn, in ovder to encourage the use of that cereal by its people as o substitute for rye. France has kept our hog products” out of her markets for a number of years, but she, also, has removed the prohibition, and while retaining a tariff dury will make such areduction in it as will enable the American products to compete with the home products in the French markets. Italy for years maintained a like policy, and that government volun- tavily abandoned it, thereby manifesting an unexpected fricndliness. Allof theso cone have been secured without impairing in the slightest degree the cor- dial relations betweon the United States and the Buropean and they are properly be regarded as evidences of a higher respect fov this country and a greater desive to cultivate our friendship. They meun an expansion of our foreign commerce to the extent of many millions of dollars annually, and considered 1n connection with the benetits to be derived from the agreements alveady ef- fected, make a record of valuable ser- vice to the agricultural inter- ests and the commerc of the country surpassing that of any other ad- ministration in our history.

Whatever may be the outcome of the Chilian imt , the affair will not fail to suggest to all thonghtful Ameri- cans that the time has come when the United States must have a navy strong enough to defend seaports and to command for its just demands the re- spectful consideration of other nations. The f; must be recognized that this country is no longerin that state of isola- tion which has hitherto been relied upon to give it security against attack, and to protect it from those dangers of interna- tional v which may result in hostilities. We are a great commercial nation whose lines of commerce extend to every quarter of the globa, American in- terests are widely seattered in twohemis pheresand ave constantly expanding. We are reaching out with greater energy and zeal than ever before for the world’s weade, and especially for the consumma- tion with the coun- tries of the western hemispheve. The tendency of all this is to duce us to guard with inc joalousy what we claim our prerogatives in this quurte obe, and to assert with great ness the doetrine proelaimed three-quar- ters of a century ago respecting Euro- pean interference and nfluence in this hemisphere. It is inevitable that as we advance along the lines now being pur sued hall encounter the dange that have been met by every pro, nation. Our wness and power is already regarded with envy by lluropean nations, Within a year it has beenseriously proposed to forma commer- al alliance antagonistic to the United ites. As we make progross in wrest- ing from Europe the trade of this hemi- sphere it is by no means improbable that at some time the nations of the old world way form a political compuet having for its object the arrest of our advance toward the ultimate complete domination of this hemisphere. But if it be deemed not worth while to prepare for so remote an exigency, it is well to bear in mind that our government is liable at any time to be involved in an international of a serious nature, Illustrations arve sup- plied by the controversy with TItaly arising out of the New Orleans affairand by the unlooked for Chilian difficulty. The chances of such troubles will in- crease with the extension and growin importance of our internation tions. A good beginning has heen made in the creation of a navy, and the judicious policy should be adherved to until the country has a naval estavlishment ude quate for defenso und which will insure for our just demands the respectful con- sideration of the strongest nations. It glio, its controvor: of closer relations we ressive growing gre issue should never be the policy of the United States to invite or provoke hostilities with any country, small or great, but we should be prepared to enforce our rights wherever and by whomsoever as sailed. THe progress of civil service reform under the present administration has not met with the unqualified approval of tne radical reformors, and that was not to have been expected, but there i ov renson to helieve that before the term of the administration ends it will have made a record in this direction far surpassing that of any preceding admin- istration, if indeea such credit does not already belong to it. It is annonnced that the president has decided to re- form the character of competitive ex- aminations. He has come to the coun- clusion, and it is unquestionably o wise at the examinations are too academic, and not sufliciently practical, and he proposes to remove this defect by such a change of the character of oxaminations as will give to them a more application, can- didates being examined with as much regard for the practical knowledge of the business with which they will have to do as with the scholarship, This is common sensquand its application will romove the ehicf* objections to the ewvil service reform policy, as well as secure 1o the government ser more useful class of employes. one, th business-like one of HENRY EHRENPFORT, assessor of the First ward, wants to be re-elected. Last winter he spent most of his time asa lobbyist at Lincoln to defeat the bill and sueceeded in imposing upon the independents who were made to belicve that he was a true anti-monopolist, when he had annual and teip the railroads and had made himself solid with the franchised corporations who have property in the First ward. The Electrie Lighting compuny was ussessed at 31,800 when the concern is capitalizod at $400,000, while the small property holders are :d at about one-fourth of tho market value of their little house: and lots.

Upon what moeat does this great Shoemuker foed that he should arrogato to himsell the authority to issue orders to election officers in the city? When the graders offer their votes they should be challenged and compelled to sign afidavits of vesidence. They will probably hesitate to brave the dungers of fine and imprisonment for illogal voting.

COUNTY AUDITOR EVANS' statement of receipts and expenditures of the bridge bond sinking fund would have been far moro valuable to the public if it had not been so long in incubation.

C., Nov. 2 As a whole there is much doubt here a the result of the various state olections to morrow. Interest is, however, intensified by tho doubt. The republicans teol sure that MoKinley will be the noxt svornor of Ohio. It must bo admitted, howevor, that democratic confidencoe in Campbell's re-eloction has beon somewhat stronethoned by reports of his offorts during tho past fow duys, and the rumors of deals affecting tho logislature, which is even more important than the wovernorship. Democratic confl dence has been also strengthened by reports that the war against their eandidato has beon atehied up to a degree at Cineinnati. Obio is regarded as the only state which hins, to a very large degree, waged a cumpaign on national issues. For some days the impression has been gaining that Flower would beat Fassott in Now York and the sporting men have beon offoring odds of $0 to &b in favor ~ of the domocratic can- didate, lower's wonderful genorosit in_tho distribution of ante-eloction ducats is what hias invigorated confidence in him to gethor with tho belief that Tammany and the County democracy are working togethor once more. It i3 _bolieved that Flower has spont 00,000 in lis campaign, Republicans concedo that the outiook in Pennsylvania is doubttul as the fssues there aro purely locl and so complicated as to be highiy ™ personal. I'h presonce of Mr, Cleveland at Boston today is taken, hero or thero, s an indication that Russell, the democratic candidate, needs | outside’ assistance, and has' sent for him. Republican confidenco in the ability of Wheeler to defeat Boios in Towa has been strengthened by tele- grams from Senator Allison and other di tinguisiied cepublicans on the stump there, all of whom declaro that prohibition is not the absorbing question and tho farmors aro in line again for their first_ love, although so general is the doubt in the minds of men here that very littie mouoy has been wagered o the result, and thero has_boen much talk of auticivated surprises. The president will receive the roturns over his exccutive man- sion wire tomorrow night, when Washington will bo awake nearly all night to hear tho result. s to No surprise will bo oxprossed if Seoretary Biaine announces one of these days that he has succesifully nogotiated for the purchaso of an island in tho South Pacific as a8 naval coaling station, han to Chili and other _obstroperous South American countries. We have no coaling point anywhere near Chili now. Cor- respondence -looking towards such a pur chase has been in progress for some time and tho secretary is now reviewing tue entire subject with a view to sceing what island is available in case of emergency.
