He was a trifle overdue, but a Cortland, N. Y., dispatch announces his discovery he missing boy has been found so many times before, howover, that it is not yet safo to kill the fatted calf. CHICAGO, with becoming modesty, in view of the fact that she wants $5,000,- 000 more from a democratic congress for the World’s fair, will not enter the lists for the democratic national convention. She will not so much as protest if the convention shall go to St. Louis. WESTERN enthusinsts who want the democratic national convention should not be too lurid in their demonstrations of faith in their favorite cities, for if logio and political sense have anything to do with the lucation of the conven- tion, Boston or New York will be se- lected. CoNSIDERING the religious trend of tho instruction at Chicago university, the rough usago accorded the Cornell foot bull team is rather surp:ising, un- less it bo explained by the fact that tho former institution has been in business only long enough to have reached the Mosaic dispensation in its theological course. A DO%NATION of 300 pounds of corn meal for the Russian famine suffevers is announced by telograph from St. Poters- burg. The amount of relief this will zive when made up into hasty pudding is not tho important feature of the in- formation, but the fuct that Indian corn is to be introduced, even on a small scale, is worthy of note. OMAHA shows a larger number of fires from oil explosions than any other city of her size in the country. These explosions and the want of efficient oil inspection probably boar some relation to each other. Would it not be worth while for the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners to investigate this quos- tion and stir up the oil inspoctors to the vroper performance of their duty? REVURLICAN CHANCES IN THE SOUTH, In his speech to the republican na- tional committee last Monday, Governor- eloct MeKinley asked whether icis not worth while to try to carry some of the republican states of the south, He ex pressed the opinion that West Virginin is just as good a republican state today s Ohio, and if the ropublican party did half the work there and in Tennessce that it did in Ohio and New York both the eouthern states wonld their electoral for the republican candidate, In connection Colonel Bradley of Ten- said that stato offered eld for republican missionary work, 13 the duty of the party to of vote the give sam, ne A promis- ing whieh it cultivate, Thut the republicans first rate chance of carrying West Virginia next year is not to be doubted. In 1888 Cleve- Land’s majority over Harrison was only about 500, and while the democratic ma- jority last year was considerably lavger, for thesame reason that swelled the demo- eratic there is good wson to believe that Major MeKinley s not far out of the way in saying that now West Virginia is a republican state. At any rate it is one of the doubtful states to which the managers of the re- publican national campaign must give theirattention, and if the proper effort be mado it is by no improbable that the six electoral votes of that state will go to the republican presidentinl candidate. Regarding Tennessee, while it is unquestionably to be desired t the of that state shall reccive every possible encouragement, it would be foolish to expect tocarry the The republican party progress in Tennes- vote elsewhere menns mblicans state next yoa has made steady sce, and nowhero is loyalty to the prin- ciples of the party st ov than with the republicans of that state. The time ought not to be remote when Tennessee, with its growing industries that have been built up and are sustained by v publican policy, will take its place in the column of vepublican states in na- tioral elections, but this result cannot be achicved next year, however earnest and persistent the efforts which the republicans may put forth. Not on that account, hoivever, should it be omitted or the work of educating the people in sound polititical principles bo allowed to halt. Though it fail to ac complish at once the object sought, ‘it will not be alt ther inefTective. Wherever in the south republicanism has the lcast chance to grow it is the duty of republican leaders to give it every practicable aid and encourage ment. It is by no means improbable that a breach will be made in the solid south next year by the republicans carrying West Virginia, and if the country should have four years more of republican adminis- tration, with a continuance of such prac tical benefits as have been secured to it by the present administration, there would be reasonable hope of still further reducing democratic domination in the southern states. 1 PROMISING OUTLOOK, The year 1892 will witness a revival of business very generally throughout the country, and especially in the west. Omahu cannot fail to enjoy the benefits of the improved commercial conditions almost certain to prevail. The expen- diture of $2,000,000 in public works, of #800,000 on the federal building and of other large sums by local manufacturing and railwiy corporations wilkadd to tho momentum which will envry the city for- ward in a caveer of prosperity. Tho Methodist Episcopai general conferonco and a hulf-dozen other important national meetings will keep the city well advor- tised throughout the world and help to sustain her good name. The sentiment in favor of home industries has already made itself folt in largely increased pro- duction and greatly augmented confi- dence tor the future. In short, all the conditions are encouraging for the com- ing your. But Omaha people and Omaha busi- ness organizations cannot afford to stand idle and wait for the com- ing of theso good things. They will come of course, and therefore it is not necessary to do anything to induce them to lend their aid to the good work. ‘What we should do is to bring with this certainty of prosperity as many of the uncertain elements of the future which would add to our commercial growth as possible. Among these the most import- ant ave improved railvond facilitios, which shatl open to Omaha for an exchange of traffic, Montana to the northwest, New Mexico to the south- west, South Dakota to the north, and Duluth to the northeast. We should also keop our eyes out for extensive manufactories, sugar plants, harvester works, elevators, flouring mills, ete., and above all else we should have for this winter an active Bourd of Trade, and other active business organizations which will make this a winter for busi- ness. No loyal Omaha man can afford to hibernute during the next fow months, is 1O ATTACK CIVIL SERVICE REFOR. Itis stated that an orgamzed effort will be made this winter to have con gross vopenl the law which created the Civil Service commission and the eivil sorvice system. The report is that an association of politi has been formed for that purpose, and the press- ure to be brought upon congress is ax pocted from men of both pacties, purtic- ularly those who do the hard work of politics. Before the meoting of every congress sinee the civil service law was passed announcoment has been made of a formidable movement for its repeal, but the law still stands, and is being more thoroughly and efficiently en- forced than ever before. It has been at- tacked in congress year aftor year, but without effect, because neither party would take tho responsibility of putting itself in hostility to the law. It is possible that the veported association of politicians orgunized to lubor with congress this winter for the repeal of the law may prove to be somewhat more formidable than preceding movements for the same purpose, but it is entirely safe to predict that its object will not b2 attained. The democratio majority in the house will not committ the party in favor of abandoning civil servico reform but if it should do 50 the republican senate can iuns THE OMAHA DAILY ba dapended on to maintain the reform. It is not to be doubted thata large | numter of uctive politictans fn both | partiea would welcome the repeal of the civil service law and tho restoration of the spoils system in all its old scopo and proportions, It is some very worthy men engaged in poli- | ties do not think well of the reform as | practiced, and would have it very ma- | terially changed or nbandoned. But the | g of the people who are not | | directly interested politics, and | who have an intelligent understanding of the reform, are in favor of its contin tinuance, improving it from time to time as experioncs shall suggest. No- body will pretend that the system i without defects, and it may be doubted | whether we shall ever have a quite per- | | | unquestionable thut sreat body in feet reform, but if the principle bo sound, and unquestionably a majority of intelligent men believe it to be, it should not be abandoned bocause perfe tion in its application may not be prac- ticable, The republican party fully com- mitted to the policy of civil service re- form. Ivery national platform of the party since the reform law was adopted has proclaimed the pirty’s adherence to the policy. The present administ tion has done more than any ) its pre- decessors for the elfficiont enforcement of tho law and for improving and ex- tending the application of civil servico reform, It witl not andoned long as the republican party has power in the government to maintain it. is be a SEVEN cities have already signified their intention to compete for tho ne tional democratic convention. It is pected that the national comirittee will meet in Washington early in January to determine the time and place of holding the convention, which will doubtless be called for in June, a weck or two later than the ropublic omvention. St Paul is among the cities that will com- pete for the prize, and the democrats of tho northwest will have a cogent argu- ment in the fact that the republicans will hold their convention in that sec- tion, but New York promises to make formidable tight for the privilege of en- an tertaining the representatives of de- mocracy. Prominent eastern and south- ern democratic papers advo- cating the scleetion of that city, und as New Yor will be necessary to democratic success next year the national committee is moro than likely to conclude that tho party would profit more from holding the con- vention in New Yorl city thanunywhere else. In the event of that solection be- ing made it will be interesting to coa- sider, in view of the direet influcnco Tammany would exert, what the effect might bo on the chances of Mr. Clove- land. are is T membor introduced a resolution district judges to call a grand jury a fow ago, can now renew his motion and so indicato to the judges the advisabitity of making arrangements for this old fashioned method of inquisition at the February term of court. of the city council who requesting the woeks OMAHA will see the day when she wi!l regret it, if she permits some other more enterprising city in this section of the union to capture the beet sugar business which will be developed within the next quarter of a centur; OHAHA people gave the art exhibit a large attendance on Thanksgiving and many persons discovered to their sin- cere regrot that they had been over- looking the finest art show Omuha has ever enjoyed.

The president of the French ropublic and his ministers are wise aud discrost men; and they are, thovefors, not likely to make Krance tho cat's-paw of Russian diplomacy and the promotor of des porate scuowos of finance for replonishing Russia’s baukrupt treasury. Bosidos, an alliance between Muscovite despotism and French democracy could not bo desirable to cither party, loast of all toa poople who boast that they ars in tho vau of civiliza- tion. A coalition with Russia would bo hailed by the reactionary eloments of France as a first step toward the rostoration of mon. archy; and for this reason, if for no other, the t'rench ropublicans would rogard such a coalition with distrust and repugance. Of course, it is plaia that in the present situation in Kuropo an alliance with I'vance is esseutial to Russia on poliu and military grounds. Without the ma- torial and moral support of such A power, Russia cannot escape from the isolation to which sho has osen condemued in the politics of the Kuropean continent, Without France as an ally tho Muscovites would b over matched by the Garman-Austrian-Italian alliance. But with the md of France tus czar would be ablo to untie or to cut than one kuot of diplomacy. If the Fren could b persuaded to take the initiative by making war on Germany for the recovery of Alsace-Lorraine, the Russiuns, in turn, would stipulato to give sufticient employment Austri-Hungary and Italy. The recove the Rbino provinces of France affords the most plausible protoxt for a war in Furope. But while the result of such a campaign would be doubtful, the odds would be in favor of the triple allianco. Germany 1s still more thau a mateh for "ranco as a military rower, and Russia, with all her tremendous show of strength, would hardly be able to copo with Austria and Italy. OURS, Europeans who aro regarded as aathority on such matters arc of tho opinion that Franco now has the bost army in Europe, and that in tho event of a war with Germany the odds would be against the latter power. Sir Charles Dilke was a guestat the lato autamn maneuvers in io says tho genorals in that country are porfect masters of strategy; that the infanury is the best figuting material the worid can show, as good as it was under the first Napoleon; that the private soldiers aro thoroughly disciplined, ready and even cager to meot tue old enemy of 1870, He speaks in equal praisc of tho artillery, butnot of tho cay Iu the lat- ter division he considors tho officers too old and lacking in the vim and ardor necessary for the work that would bo expected of them in war. Opinions formed in this manner aro oxceedingly liable to be reversed after actual hostilities have been oponed. In 1870, when the Kronch and German hosts wero gathering to measure arms in one of the greatest struggles of modern times, those who wero bost ncquainted with tho I'rench forcos predicted their success. Na- poleon 111 was told that his army was in sn perd condition, did not need even “‘a button to a gaiter.” The first battles demonstrated the absolute demoralization of tho French and the splendid condition of the Germans. Superior organization, numbers, and strategy won. But Iravce has created a new army during the last twenty years of the republic. Thero is no disputing the fact that it is in- finitely superior to the army of 1570, * But it cannot be mora eager for a fight now than it was then. Whether the odds would be ainst Germany, however. with her im- mense army of hardy and vigorous men, can only be a matter of conjectura until the two forces come together in the dreadful clash of war, ' Tho fact that the idlo utterance of the em- peror of Austria tho other day, to the effect that the food tronbles would make war inev- itaole, produced a panic upon tho hourse shows upon what slender foundations the peace of Europo rests. Readers may recall the significant remark of the emperor, Louis Napoleon, at the New Yoar's festival at Puris—merely a few words spoken to the Austrian ambassador—which produced a similar panie. The imperial menace of Na- Doleon was the prelude to tha Iwlian war of 1859, It1s easy to understand that thought- ful men on tho coatinent would have tho same apprehension when thoy hear as m ild and gentlo a soveraign as tho Austrian em- voror discuss war as the outcome of g socini and ofticial problems. Tt has often hap- pened in the history of Ilurope that war came trom theso very causes referred to by the emperor. ‘Ine first Nupoleon mado many of his campaigns for scifish, dynastic reasons. o said when com- menting upon his own cavoer that an emperor in France could live by glory alon, that glory was the passion of his people, and that ho was compeiled to foed it for very life's sake. The Crimean war was engaged in by F'rance to win the recognition of Europo to the shameful series of exploits which had given Napoleon I11 France and a throne, It whas a selfish war, but in tho oyes of the em- peror the only alternative to revolution, The war aganst Germany in 1570 was probably inspired by similar considerations, while that of Russia against the Turks in 1877 was im- polled by the clamors of the Russian troops who gave the czur uo peace until ho had ad- vanced his standards to Coustantinopl “Therefore tho panics which follow theso im- perial menaces should bo regarded as tho ordinary exoression of public opinion based upon tho application of historicul traditions to current ovents, e FPowder a cre % 599.

Points on Which the Legistature and the People Were Hoodwinked by the Standar il Com« pany's Agents. Tie: Bee, in previous artielos on the sub- ject of ol inspection i Nobraska, has given exprossion to the fact that tho law on the point 1s really one of the most laughable plecas of logislation to b found in the codo of any stato or councry. A study of the cnactments on tho subject in other commonwoalths was the ground upon which the statement was made, In tho passage of this law it migat bo said that the pooplo themsoives wero responsivlo bocauso it was their ropresentatives who piaced the [aw upon the books, This tainly would bo unquestioned, were it not for the fact that when tho bill was introduced into the logisluture, notwlithstanding tho people bad clamored for an onactment of the kind, tho lattor and their ropresontatives were really in ignorance as to waat should bo the foatures of a law which would guar anteo thom protection against worthless and 1ifo and property-destroying petroleum. Doesn't ixcuse the Mo Such, however, may not bo urged iu oxten- uation of the conduet in the premises of the Consolidated Tauk Line company. That cor- poration knew that the people demanded a inspection law. 1t was a demand which th samo company had heard mado by the peoplo in all the leading states of tho union. 1t was w demand which it had seen respected, ul though 1n A numoer of instan it fuiled to oxercise the baneful influeuce over tue logislatures which was satisfyiug tho de- mand, which it did 1 the state of Nebraska. It had no valid oxcuse, thercfore, except that which has always boen its excuse—thriving over tho discomfiture of its rivals and tho peoylo—in foisting upon Nebraska tho oil in- spection Iaw, which has not a counterpurt in any wostern state. The features of this law wero well known to the Consolidated Tank Line company for monthis before tho bill was introduced in tho legislature.
