DouBLE headers from Douglas county to the district and state delegate con- ventions have resulted from the bitter fight for leadership between the friends of Governor Boyd and those of Euclid Martin. Little events like these are genuine picnic entertainments for re- publicans. UNDER the idea which led to the formal offer to purchase lands without condemnation and appraisement the entire #400,000 in park bonds would be swallowed up in land and nothing would be left for improvement. Under the plan contemplated by the charter, funds will be available for improvement ana laboring men wiil be given employment. ANOTHER republican state sends a delogation to Minneapolis in favor of Cleveland. Massuchusetts has dropped her young governor and thrown her weight into the scales for ‘‘the claimant.” As Massachusetts will give her electoral voto to Harrison, this diversion of the democrats of that state is more a complimentary resolution than genuine vote-getting enthusiasm, PuBLIC sentiment will hardly sustain congress in appropriating $100,000 for the aunual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic av Washington, notwithstanding the restriction which confines expenditures to subsistence and quarters of the ex-soldiors, If Wash- ington city had intimated at the meet- ing in Dotroit last year that the na- tonal government would be called upon for assistance in entertalning the boys in blue she would not have succeeded against her cowpetitors iu securing the reunion. —— Somp idea of the great growth of the Industries of the south is obtained from & perusal of the figures quoted by Hon. Carroll D. Wright, United States com- missioner of lubor, in an address do- livered in Nashville on Priday evening. Tho production of pig iron increased in ten yeurs by 1,384,000 tons. The con- sumption of cotton doubled and the manufacture of cotton seed oil grew boyond belief. The number of woolen mills almost doubled and the railroad mileago increased from 13,288 to 24,956 miles. The New South is forging ahead with something like the growth of the west and gives ubunaunt evidence that permanent prosperity has returned to a Land latoly dosolated by war and torn by political ‘conflicts, Yankeo enterprise 18 holng wolcomed and a bright future | is opening up beiore the land of Dixie. ‘ first to COLUMBUS DAY AND THE SCHOOLS. Tho proposal that the 100th anniver- sary of the discovery of America, Octo- ber 12, 1802, shall be overy whero in the United States asa national ovent, and that vhe public schools of the nation shill take a leading part in the celebration, has met with general app When tho iden was fivst pro- mulgated there was a response from showing that the tenoo heartily in sympathy with the plan, The Congress auxiliary of the Columbian exposition took up the proposal and su gostod that the public schools ba every- where the centors of the celebration. The suporintendents of education, at thelr national convention in Februavy, approved tho idea and took charge of the movemont, designating an tive committes to arrange for the school celebration. This committeo has fssued an appeal to the scholars themselves to ba the move. It calls upon them to arouse a sentiment in their schools and in their neighborhonds for the celebra- tion of the great ovent—one of tne very greatest, indeed, in the history of the world, There are 13,000,000 pupils in the public schools, and this vast army of children—the future law makers, sol- diers and servants of tho ropublic— united in commemorating with patriotic the discove of America, would be memorable in our history, and as the committee suggests strengthon the republic through the coming cen- tury. The executive committes will furnish a program of exercises, with view to having uniformity as to certnin leading features, but the schools may olaborate the program at pleasure. The proposed celebration is commend- able from every point of view. As has been woll suggested tho day itself, simply as a way of calling up the past, and giving it historieal significance, will be full of meaning, but it will bo much more than this. The historieal partof the celebration is not confined to the mere act of the discove: of America by Columbus on tho morning of October 12, Tt is a day that reaches bick through four conturios of progress, and it includes all that America has passed through in these 400 years; the crowding out of one vace by another, the succession of one civilization after another; the growth of new ideas, and the putting of old ideas to new service; the introduction of nobler wmann better laws, a larger and freer life than the world has known before, and, as the fundamental clement in this new orde the creation and the development of our public school system, than which novhing is more truly ropresentative of American ideas and institutions. Thero can be no doubt of the patriotic influence which this celebration will exert, and it will not be merely temporary in its effect, but will take permanont hold of the minds and hearts of the youth of the republic, stimulating and steengthening their love of country and inciting them to n more careful and thorough study of the wonderful history of America, The interest with which the idea has thus far been received assures for it general and enthusiastic aceeptance, and no where will it be accorded heartier favor than in the west, whose people are in sympathy with everything intended to properly and adequately celebrate the discovery of America, observed very wal, prompt schools, ind pupils we oxecu- exercises THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT. The fierce contest of KFriday between the warring factions of the democratic party did not end with the primaries. It was carried to the county convention and resulted in a boit by the minority led by Euclid Martin. It appears from the vote upon temporary orgavization that the Boyd men had a good majority. The feeling was so intense that slight provocation brought on bitter warfare and when it was charged that the sccre- tary, a Boyd man, had manipulated the credentials and shut out some of the Martin delogates the latter became very much excited. Each side assailed the other with charges and counter charges of fraud und in the end the convention split. The result is double headers for both the state and district conventions. The Douglas county fight will not end here; iv becomes a feature of the two delegate conventions. To republicans this is interesting. It is very clear that the wounds growing out of the contest cannot be healed at onee. They will undoubtedly rankle in the breasts of the warring cemoerats until after the November election. Re- publicans, by harmonious action within their own ranks, can take advantage of the demoralization of the enemy, and hy nominating a strong ticket from top to bottom sweep the field at the next elec- tion, The opposing ambitions in tho democratic party will make it an ensy task to swing this county strongly repub- licon on the state and congressional as well as the logislutive ticket. THE PROPOSED SUBSIDY, Douglas county and Omaha have been barassed and hindered by the bridge embargo for nearly twenty years, It is very generally believed that but for this monopoty and its incidents Omaha might before this have coutained & population 0f 200,000 The bridge hasstood between Omaha and the Iowa rallways. 1t has tuken toll upon every pound of freight and every incoming settler passing ovor it sinco its completion. For years this arbitrary wheel within the Union Pucific wheel charged and collected 50 cents from every passenger and practicaily shut out of this city the business of west- ern Towa. For years a charge of $10 per curlond each way stood as a menace to Omaha traffie. The jobbers of this city wero prohibited from trading in western Towa and Missouri beause the insatiate bridge monopoly demanded $10 per car euch way for froight and thus set up a charge of $20 per car against Omaha and in favor of Council Bluffs on western Towa business. The rates are lower now; but the monopoly continues, discrimina- tions are still made against Omaha and it stands between this city and impor- tant railway fucilities. Its owners ave determined that there shall be no com- petition, The ramifications of this monopoly are remarkuble, Its influence uwakens the opposition of bankers, merchants, lawyers and capiwlists whouover any provosition is presented for rolisf to tho World's | THE OMAHA DAILY community. pendent Omaha and Council railrond and wagon bridge, and in its cold, clammy way caused the abandon- ment of the railrond part of the bridge and froze out the whose energy ana foresight the two cities owe this valuable driveway acrossthe river When the Bridge company becamo anization with the nlloged purpose of spanning the river at O nah wiin the old monopoly was to bo seen in the personnel of some of the ofl“ars of the new com- pany.

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE. Interest in the great quadriennial mecting of the representative clergy- men and laymen of the Mothodist Episcopal ehurch is not confined to ne sons of that religious faith. In these days of newspapers and general knowl- edge of affairs mon and woman are seek- ing and acquiring information upon all manne of topics and the proceedings of great religious gathering arve followed with as much intelligenen nnd attention as those of a national political pavty or an international scientitic assembly. To Omaha and Nebraska people the confer- onco assumes an especial interest bo causa for the first time in its history th aggrossive denomination has called its slative assembly to mect in the riosity and intorest combino to make tho occasion one of importanco lo- cally to ail our people, and especially to Methodi: THE BER as the represontative journal of the transmissouri region will devole a groat deal of attention to this meeting during its continuancs, and prior to the opening date will sesk to inform its readers upon subjects divectly incident thereto. “The question of ndmitting women to the general conforence has heen, during the last four yours, a topic of very wide discussion. [nvolving as it does a change of the constitution of the church, under the rules & vote of three-fourths of the members of the annua' conference, together with a two-thirds vote of a preceding or succeeding genoral confor- ence is necessary to adopt the principle of female suffrage. Owing partly to the conservatism of the churches and prtly toaslight difference of opinion as to tho interprotation of the proposed cluuse covering the proposition, a three-fourths vote of the annual conferences has not been socured for the innovation. A clear majority has been obtained, how- ever, of both tho clergy and the laity, pointing to the ultimate adoption of an article in the discipline providing for the admission of female delogatas. The conference in May cannot make the change, but it can resubmit the question, and probably, if it should again ba dis- cussod for four years and again be brought before the annual conferences, the movemant will be successful. At the geneval conferenco a review of the whole field of Methodist religious endeavor will be made. Tt will show among other things a most romurkable progress in the missionary fields. The missionary income has grown with ench year of the last four until in 1891 the highest results wo. tained 1n receipts for the Foreign Missionary society of $1,288,888. " Tho Woman's Foreign Mis- slonary society raised an additional sum of #263,600, and the Woman’s Home Missionary society $155,508. The board of church extension collected $311,] and the Freedman’s Aid society #:: 656, In asinglemission field, the North Indin conference, the baptisms of con- verted heathens have, for a year past, averaged 500 per week., Within twelve months 16,000 accossions to the church in that Hindoo land have been'raported. In the home field the most interesting movement has been in the organization and cquipment of deaconesses’ homes and tralning schools. Itis just four yoars in May since the church provided fo: licensing denconesses, but twenty-threo homes und teaining schools have been formed in as wany cities, and now these devoted women ure in somo loealities of great cities almost as familiar to the public eyc as sistors of the various Catholic ordevs. This work has bee rried on with success also in forei lunds, So unexpectedly successful has been this branch of church energy that the approaching general conferance will probably consider the advisability of establishing a parallel order of lay dencons to assist In the evangelization of the cities »The charities incident to the work of the deaconesses have also boen greatly multiplied, and it is observed that s eral times as many hospitals for the sick and injured have been founded and en- dowed within the quadrienniuin as the church had established in the century preceding, The growth of the Epworth league is another interesting feature of the four years about closing.

Al .l.\I'l.'h CAN Navy The present congre f the policy of the majority in the house prevail, will provide for the building of only ono cruiser of the type of the New York. While this would be practically to bring the construction of the new navy to a halt, yot when the vessels now building are completed and put into commission the United Stites will have a navy that will give us fifth place among the naval powers of the world, In a recant ad- dross Socretary Teacy recitod the his- tory of tho vise and progress of the new Americn navy, and it is a history that is creditable to Amossican skill and en- terprise, for it isto b2 borne in mind that tho results have been achieved by our own people. It was in 1583, during the administra- tion of Puesideat Avthur, that active steps were takon toward the resonstruc- tion of the navy. Iight ships wore nu- thorized during this poriod, all of them to be modorn steel vossels. At the in- stance of tha then sserotary of the navy, Willinm wdler, now a from New Hamshive, the practice of rveconstrusting the old wooden ships wis restricted by law, and thus the way was vaved for a molern navy. The work of naval development was aetively con- tinued by cong during the next ad- ministration, twenty-ono additional vessels being authorized, together with the compietion of five double-turreted monitors, Of the thirty-four vessels of tho new navy which had been thus au- thovized only three 1 been placed in commission when the present adminis- tration camo into power Bighteen others had been undertaken and were in various stages of progress, while of the remaining thirteen the actual construc- tion had not yet been begun. It is not the least creditable fact in the history of the Harvison administration that the work upon all these vessels is now so advanced that by the end of tho term of this administration twenty-four ships will he placed in commission and all the remainder will be completed shortly thereafter.. The Fifty-fesy con=t gross authorized the construction of six vossels, comprising three first cliss battle ships und two of ‘the fastest and largest cruisers in the world, equal in the olement of defensive strength to three times their number of any other ships of the new navy. Se: said thav taking all tho vessols together they are at least the equal, ship for ship, both in design und construction, of the modern navie: of the world. When the ships now au- thorized shall have been completed we shall have threo battleships of tho first class und one of the second class, five reconstructed monitors, two ships for coast and harbor defense, nineteen cruisers, seven gunboats and two tor- pedo boats, a total of thirty-nine ves- sols; and wao shall have obtained this navy, ereated absolutely out of nothing, atan average annual expenditure dur- ing twelve years of less than $6,000,000. Estimating our population to have ave aged 60,000,000 during those years the annual cost of the new navy during this period has amounted to 10 cents per capita, It is a subject of profound re- gret, in the opinion of the secvetary of the navy, that the naval committee did not report in favor of more first class buttloships, which with their accessions form the main element of strength and detormive the fighting efliciency of a wodern fleet. In the judgment of the secretary the country ought to have at loust nise battleships, It would manifestly be unwise to come to ahalt in the work of constructing an adequate navy, and the intelligent judg- ment of the country would not approvo the narrow spirit of economy that would require this to be done, particulariy when the motive is whoily political. It is therefore to be expected that the sen- ate will insist upon the present congross providing for the construction of more than a single eruisor. The country has learned, through quite unexpe perioncos, the fmportanee of baing pro- pared for nutionni defense, and whi would not approvy a policy of rival with other natigys for naval superiority, it will favor such a navy as will enable the country to ddfend itself and protect its intorests whergver assailed.

One result of mr. Henry George's beau- tiful theory of abolishing poverty and making «verybody rich and prosperous has been to reduce Mrs. George N. Hutehins of Ancora, N. J., to the Camden county poorhouse. 1t will by rememberced that when it w tho fad to read *“Progress and Poverty” Mr, Georgo N. Hutchius died, probably having read it once too often, and being an enth iast, if not a crank, he left an estate of sev- eral thousand aollurs to Mr. Georgo for the stiputated purpose of assisting him to dis- seminate his peculiar views as to lana and things. Mr. George took churge of the ostate in accordance with tho will and used it faithfully- in the dissemination of tbe single-tax idea as the late Mr. Hutchins had stipulated. While this may have wrought great good to the numan race at large, it seems to have been a little hard on the widow of the be- nevolent Mr., Hutchins, for it was not long until a stress of poverty sent her to the poor- nouse. Thnis fact seoms 1o have been orought 10 the attention of Mr. George, for ho bhas kindly consented to take her out of the poor. house and provide ber with a home in Phila- delphia. This is exceedingly kind of Mr. Georgo, for he must seo that it will take a great deal of ready cash out of his Hutchins fuud for the dissemiuation of the George idea of uui versal prosperity. Iu this counoction we may state that Mrs. Hutehins finds it ditficult w become enthus- iastic over the single tax theory. PALM SUNDAY CHEER.
