TiE supreme court of Nebraska has refused to reopen the Boyd-Thayer case. 1t is hoped this long-drawn-out contro- versy is now ended forever. Tie New York democrats are provid- ing an abundance of camvaign material of a luridly impressive character for re- publican use next autumn. A CHAIN ng made up of city and county prisoners would reliove the city and county of a good deal of expense if put at work upon streets and roads. Tie Union Pacific and Burlington roads were well represented at the meot- ing of the county commissioners called to discuss the Nebraska Central railway proposition, Rev. Dr. Parknunst’s single- handed contest with the devil in New York grows more and moro interesting and its results more and more uncertain as the days go by. Ir THE Intorstate fails to carry out its own scheme it will Bridge company have itsell to blame. Nobody has inter- posed any obstructions thus far, but the bridge has not matorialized. KANSAS CrTy went democratic in her municipal election Tuesday. Kansas City has been on the decline physically and financially for a year or two. Her morals seem also to be debilitated. PERHAPS a more or less esteemod coutemporary will observe that if the advice of THE BeE had been heeded more progress would have been re- ported in the library entorprise by this time. ‘WHEN the Union Pacificor B, & M. capitalists and attornoys find fault with a proposition submitted to tho citizons of this county it is conclusive proof that they are not backing it morally or financially. THE knives of the warring factions of the democracy ave whetted to the keen- est edgo and the fight between tho Boyd and Martin factions continues in- teresting to republicans and uncertain to the contestants. OMAHA has always been unfortunate in one particular: Any scheme proposed by Omaha men of financial standing is olmost certain to be opposed by other Omaha men of like financial standing. Our citizens have never learned to work together. —_— THERE is no good reason why the vagrants und other city prisoners should not be compelled to carn their keoping by cleaning up alleys and performing other public work, as suggested by Chief of Police Seavoy. — THE gonial capitalists whose interests aro bound up with the Union Pacificand B. & M. railroad corporations are not willing to submit the Nebraska Central proposition to the people. Everybody elso is willing to tirust to the judgment of the voters of the city and county. OvVER 8,000 persons in the eity of Omaha have signed the agreement pre- sented by canvassors of the Manufac- turers and Consumers association, pledging themselves to give home man- ufacturers the preference in all pur- chases of household goods, and the work goes bravely on, THE members of the Manufacturors and Consumers’ ussociation should not forget that the interest in their move- ment can be sustained only by untiring pffort. Ivery meeting of the associa- tion shonld be well attended and the enthusiasm of the manufacturers them- selves kept ata white heat. ETees—— THE city council is to be commended for reconsidering its action on the park propositions and adopting one inside park. As there will probahly be money enough realized from the sale of the park bonds for the purpose, the park commissioners should recommend at least one other inside park to the coun- ell. THE OMAHA DAILY BEL; THURSDAY APRIL THE QUESTION OF PRICES. In the course of his brilliant and elo- quent gpeech on the tariff in the house lnst week Representative Dolliver of Towa repeated the challenge tothe dem- ocrats, which had previously been made by Representative Dingley of Maine, to name a single article the retail prico of wlich had been advanced by the tar- iff net of 1890. In response four articles wore named—pocket knives, pearl but- tons, linen goods and tin plate. Said Mr. Dolliver: *“Four articles have been named in a houseful of representadive | business men from every quarter of the United States. I do not intend to dis- cuss these four articles here. Tam going to turn them over to other gentlemen, or better still, leuve them to the & knowledge of tho shopgoing | which will thoroughly explode wt left of the humbug and pretense that prices have increased since 1890.” Was it not remarkable, in view of the persistent assertion of the democrats, {=om Mr. Cleveland to the least of them, that the present tariff has increased the price to consumers of nearly everything in common use, that the democratic representatives in congress could name only four articles as having advanced in price under the act of 1890? And as a mattor of fact the articles named are not higher now than they were before the present tariff act went into effect, taking all grades together. As to pearl buttons, Mr. Dolliver referred to the factory in Omaha and stated that it is “today turning out as good an article as was ever made in the world, and for a lower price, and the establishment of that industry has already, by the enlist- ment of American genius in a new enterprise, invented processes of manu- facture that promise to make the old prices of pearl buttons a mere reminis- cence.” With regard to tin plate it is a fact which may be verified by refer- ence to the quotations that the imported articie is lower in New York today than it over was. It is truo the charge made that the foreign manufacturers are not shiping over as good an art clo as formerly, but at any rate the trath is that tin plate is not higher than before the present tariff, Every buyer of linen goods knows they are sold us cheaply now as two years ago. The assertion of Mr. Cleveland, in his Providence speech, that the consumers of the country oppressed by the tarifi act of 1890 is rot sustained by tho facts. Any fair comparison of pric now and eighteen months ago will show that a great majority of the articles in common use arc no higher than when the tariff act went into effect and that the price of some has declined. Men of practical affaivs, who study the markets, cannot be deceived by the charge that the tariff act of 1890 has increased the price of articles of general use. T0 CONDEMN PARKS. In answer to an inquiry from Mayor Bemis, City Attorney Connell gives it as his opinion that the charter grants to the city government authority to con- demn lands for parks and boulevards, and also authority to assess their cost against proporty benefited. This is an important interpretation of the iaw, for it means that the city can select exactly such lands as are deemed most desirable and condemn them. An aporaisal by three disinterested ap- prasers would in all probability greatly reduce the cost of the tracts selected, and our $400,000 in bonds can be made to cover more land and land better suited to the requirements of the city. We nevor.can and never will have a well planned system of parks and boule- vards unless we exerciso the right of eminent domain and secure exactly what is wanted at the time it is wanted. A chain of purks and boulevards conuect- ing each other and 1aid out upon grounds most suitable is essential to such a sys- tem. The time will never come when overy owner of grounds needed for such a purpose can be induced to part with them at reasonable prices. There isno merit in the claim that wo must go on rogardless of this power now because the council has ratified the choice of lands made by the park com- missioners, The people voted blindly upon the question so far us special tracts were concerned trusting to the mayor and council and the park commissioners to act upon business principles and do their duty, They want the best lands thoy can secure for the least money and do not care who owns them. The coun- cil and park commissioners will be justi- fied in accopting tho opinion of thecity atlorney. It does not follow that the tracts al- ready selected shall be abandoned. It will be naturally expected, however, that these lands will bo condemned in the logal way and that tho city shall puy for them only what throo dis- intercsted appraisers pronounce them to be worth, It is quite probable that the city can save enough by this course to add at least one more inside park to the system, and can also safoly undortako to condemn ground for boulovards. 1f tho owners of the Jand are not satisfled with the appraisal of the city nuthoritics they can appeal to the district court, P OMAHA M DO SOMETHING Tt is high time that our citizens awake to the fuct that paralysis is akin to death. No ecity ¢ stand still. She must either progress or retrograde. There can be no neutral ground. The only hopo for obtaiming commercial supremacy at this point and the only chance for increasing our business ir dustries is by enterprise from within, Capitalists from abroad will not invest in o city whose citizens show by their conduct that they have no confidence in her future. Now that the spring is opening a number of local enterprisos are hoing talked up. Principal of these in point of imporiance and amount of monoey to be expended is the Nebraska Central railway. Discussion of the features of the proposition made by the Omaha gontlemen who compose this company has awakened interest in other direc- tions. If for no other reason, the gen- tlemen making the ofter to build this road and its double track bridge deserve the thanks of the community, We want a few more broad-gauge propositions. The people of Omaha cannot be awak- ened from their lethargy by anything except extraordinury schemes for the welfare of the city. Once aroused and eet to work wo have the faith to believe that an impotus will be given to entor- prises now sleeping and that this very year will sec some of the old-time en- ergy again manifested in Omaha affaire, THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST HILL. The friends of Mr. Cleveland in New Yorkare waging the campaign ngainst his adroit and uncompromising rival with great vigor. The meeting held in Buffalo, the former homo of Cleveland, and supposed to be a Hill stronghold, demonstrated by the large attendance that the ex-president has stili many supporters there, The spoeches were most ungparing in their denunciation of Hillism, One of the speakers declared that within the past three months Hill had boen for tariff reform and against it, had been for the free coinage of sil- ver and against it, and charactorized him as a “‘burlesque politician,” who “kicks and twists, and turns and bows, and smirks and throws kisses at the po- litical baldheads, when all the while he is only making an indecent cxposure of himself ns a political street walker, of- fering himself body and soul &t the low price of a voto o a delogate.” *‘The peoplo,” further declaved the speaker, “are not propured for ashifty, shuflling, equivoeal, prevaricating candidate for the highest honor in their gift. rom the shifty, pultering, mischief-making demagogue, they turn with abounding confidence to the safe, strong and stead- fast democrat who stands square to avery wind that blows, who cares not to be great, but vich in honest, noble ser- vice to the state.” This sort of raillery may not be admirable, but it is ex- pressive and shows the strong and in- tense feeling of those democrats in New York who are antagonizing the presi- dential ambition of Hill. It it useless to think of harmonizing this faction with the eloment that acknowledges the load- ership of Hill, and this consideration will have its influence upon the national convention. Ix-Secretary Fairchild said av the BuiTalo meeting that nobody proposed to bolt the nomination, but he is a very poor politician if he believes that any considerable number of the friends of Hill would support Cleveland, and it is extremely doubtful whether he would himself support Hill, The indications are, however, that ITill is already out of the race. Thero is nowhere any manifestation of hearty interest in his cause, and thereis reason to believe that he is finding it something of a task to hold his New York friends together. It has been reported that some of the Tammany men were ready to desert him, and there are evidences that the Hill machine is not working as smoothly as its managers could desire. But it does not appear that this ten- dency to desert Hill is necessariiy in the intevest of Cleveland. The men who were instructed and pledged to the former by the convention of February 22, und who share with him the censure of the hostile faction, will not go to the ox-president under any circumstances. They will prefer a candidute from some other state than New York, and it is suid that if he finds he has no chance for the nomination Hill will endeavor to ) control the delegation in the interest of Senator Gorman, The situation does not grow any less perplexing for the democracy. There is no doubt that the masses of the party prefer Cleveland, but the shrowd poli- ticians understand that without ha mony in New York his nomination would be fatal, and therc is hurdly a possibility that the factions there can be harmonized. The one thing that now scems practically assured is, that Hill will not be the candidate. ORDINARILY it is not safe to judge of the drift of political feeling from the re- sults of municipal elections, but they are fairly to be regarded as having a greater significance in this respect in presidential than in other years. If this be granted the vepublicans may find much cncouragement in the town elee tions of this year. Those in New Yo -k early in the spring showed generally notablo republican gnins, in some cascs communities which had uniformly been democratic for years electing republican candidates. Such changes denote the operation of political influences. The city and town elections just held in Ohio indicate that the republicans of that state have been gaining strength since the general election of last yoar, the purty showing an increased vote in a number of places. Of course there has not been a douby that the electoral voie of Ohio will be given to the republican presidential candidate, but none tho less it is interesting to find the party thero growing, becuuse it shows that the free teade and free silver principles of the democracy ave not acceptable to intelli- gent voters, In Michigan the repub- licans havo also made gains, but it ap- pears that this was not due altogether to politics, Unquestionably Michigan is & republican state, but under the new plan of” choosing presidential electors the republicans cannot get the full elec- toral vote of the state. In Illinois and Minnesota party lines were not gener- ally drawn, and the same is true of the town and village elections 1o Nebraska, It is interesting to note that in this state a majority of license tickets were elected. —_— Mavor BeMmis calls the attention of the city council to section 59 of the char- ter and adyises that an ordinance be passed at an early day for carrying out its provisions. This section of the charter is as follows: “‘The mayor and council shull have power to establish and maintain public libraries, reading rooms, art galleries and museums, and to provide the necessary grounds or buildings therefor; to purchase books, papers, maps, manuscripts and works of art, and objects of natural or scientific curiosity and instruction therefor, and to roccive donations and bequests of woney or property for the same in trust or otherwise. They may also puss neces- sary by-laws and regulations for the pro- tection and government of the sume.” ReporTs from South Omaha as the oloction progressed on Tuesday indi- cated a deep intervst on the part of the participaots, The fact that Sheriff Ben nett and thirty or more deputies went to the scene of action early in the day gave further color to the startling reports re- account, ceived from tim, however, from a the facts that th to time. It ap anars, | osor investigauon of | o was no rioting and no danger of i The looal authorities | wero ontiroly’ cffmpotent to presorve | order and the sHerift and his doputies | not noed®l. Their vrosence stirred up about the only bad blood | shown. The sheriff very cloverly man- god the matter to avold friction and | 8tood to tho duty |which he set out for himself at tho request of ropuatable citi- zens, The election, though spirited, was orderly, and judging from the ex- sions of the best citizons of the sub- ults are highly satisfactory. Tue BEE congratulates South Omaha upon the fact that nothing occurred to mar the peaceful character of the elec- tion or the good name of the city. e — wore FoR the year ending June 30, 1800, the fmports of woolen goods amounted to $56,582,000. For the year ending June 80, 1891, they were 341,060,000, & decrease of $15,522,000. Upon this fact a free trade paper aigues that the Ameriean people were robbed of more than $15.522,000, because thoy were de- prived of the priviloge of buying foreign woolens by *‘the prohibitory McKinley tariff.” Such idiocy as this ought to be transparent to the most casual reader. The people bought as much woolen goods in 1891 as in 1890 beyond deubt. The imported goods are not donated to purchasers since this $17 ,000 has been kept at home and has been paid for American wool Instead of bewail- ing the reduction of imports a patriotic newspaper should rejoice in the fact that in woolens alone thislarge sum was saved to Americans in a single year. YOUNG men in politics is regarded as A promising sizn of the times by a half- baked democratic editor in Omaha. Bless his fresh, confiding soul, the young man has always been in volitics, from the days of David in Isracl to the present time. The most brilliant politicians of our colonial period were men under 25, Hamilton was o der at 19 and sccro- tary of the treasury at 20, Thomas Jel- ferson wrote the Declavation of Inde. pendence whon he was less than 33 years of age. John Quincy Adams was min- ister to Holland at 27 and was a United States senator nine years later. Honry Clay began his politieal careor at 23, and he was a senator befors he was 30 Calhoun entered congress when he was only 28 years old, Webster was a con- gressman at 31, TOR MANDERSON'S fight in the senate for military ngents for the Indian reservations s so persistent and | bitter as to oceasion remark. The In- dian agency system is far above the average morule ofia half dozen or more years ugo and it is therefore the more | singular that he' and other senators should make so vigorous an attack upon civilian agents just at this time.

Wasmx 10N Buneav or tne Bere, ( 18 FountervT Staeet, WasmiNatoy, D, C., April 6, | Again the senato hias refused to strike out of the Indian appropriation bill the provision dotailing army officers to nct as Indian agonts, The vote taken today upon a motion 10 strike out tho provision failed by a major. ity of 5, tho samo as it failod last woek Thore wero somo changes in the vote, but the rosult was tho same, all of the western republican senators voting to strike out ex copt Mandorson, Wilson, Washburn and Davis. so sonators have, from the very first, advocated the turning out of the civii- ian agents and tho detail of army officers to take their places. Thero was somo very lively dobate on tho subjoct today before the vote was taken and altogether the army did not gamn very much, boing soverely scored by somo of the sena- tors, although it canuot bo said that tho civilian agents gained o groat deal by the word serimmagos. Senator Voorhees made an claborate speech in support of the pro- vision, in which ho quoted General John' IR, Brooke extensively to show how the wishos of tho Indian had beon ignorod by tho dopartment hero and how tho civitians had not only failed to keer: faith with the Indians but had shown an unfithess to handle the Indians. Iu the opinion of Senator Voorhoos and General Brooke the army oMcers kuow Indians votter than the civilians, having studiod their character and wants, and the Indians have a more oxalted lea and rospect for the soldier thau the civilian, Senator Allison's Views. Senator Allison followed Senator Voor- bees, and very earnestly opposed the propo- sition to mako Indian agents of the army ofticers, He went into tho foundation of the Sioux troubles of 1800 and 1801 and held that it was due to a lack of appropriations by congrass, an insufiiciency of provisions, growing out of tho parsimony of the demo- crats, Senator Allison said ho could see no more reason for assigning army ofiicors to act as Indian agents than for detailing them toact in the capacity of sccretary of tho senate or as its clerks and other ofticers, He opposed the very principlo of requiring or suffering army officers 10 do civil duty anywhere.~ Ho snid thero might have been at’somo time in the history of the country some excuse for doing this” thing. It might have beon necessary in 1534 when it was first done, for an Indian war was throatoned, It would be justas proper to detail army ofticers to collect internal revenuo or customs duties. Ho named a numbher of tribes of Indiaus where there was 1o hostilo possivilities and asked what military nocessity there was for detailing army officers to act as agents for the Inaians.
