Notary Publio prosenco this 0th day ot April, A SEAL _ Averago Circulntio —_—— Tik democratic cako-walk will be led by Boyd und Martin this evening. THE street cleaning controversy is Just where it was three weeks ago and Promises a deadlock. Tue westorn democrat who can draw votes outside of his own state has not yet made his appearance. IN this fight botween the Boyd and Martin factions the sympathies of THE Brg are with the under dog. Give the people a chance to say whother they do or do not wish to sub- gidize the Nebraska Central railway. Tuis latest Tascott story which comes from tho rustling region of Wyoming possesses the merit of both romance and originalit THE council is to bo commended for taking steps to place signs containing the names of streets at intersections throughout tho city. AFTER the convention has adjourned tho half-baked editor will know how he stands on several propositions over which aemocrats now disagreo. TiE real obstructionists in vhis park question are the interosted parties who are determined to have the greater part of the $100,000 voted for the purchase of park lands. GASOLINE lighting has never been satisfactory in this city. The new Metropolitan company appears to bo as indifferent to its contract obligations as its predecessors, WYOMING is in the throes of despair. The cattle war is on at the ranches and tho democratic state convention at Buf- falo. The chances are that the rustlers will capture both. TRE Denver Republican sententiously advises Senator Woleott to give the silver question at least ten minutes con- sidoration before ho attompte anothor specch upon the subject GOVERNOR HoGG of Texas expects a renomination, and proposes to take the stump for himself forthwith. This will bo no surpsise. The governor’s name is proof that it takes a great deal to satisfy him, THERE can be no good reason given by the railroads for charging $20 per car load on cattle from Toxas and New Moxico slipped to Omaha in excoss of the ruling rates to Kansas City. EveERy day increases the interest in the coming industrial exposition which oceurs at the Coliseum building in June. Of the 140 spaces availablo for manu- facturers 125 ave alrendy spoken for. —— NOTHING s0 much contributes to the good appearance of a city in the eyes of strangers as tidy, well kept streets and permanent sidowalks, Omaha will suf- for in both theso particulars at present In comparison with most western cities, —_— OBJECTOR HOLMAN has boen renomi- nated for congress by his democratic coustituents, Holman kicks on all legislation in which his own district has no interest and takes his objections for votes upon measurcs directly affecting his bailiwiok. Asa consequence, while Holman is most unpopular everywhere elso he bags his game with consummate skill in his own praservo. COMMISSIONER PADDOCK is in rather close quarters. As government director of the Union Pacific railvoad, whose per diom and milenge are paid by the com- pany, he reulizes that a competing bridge in Omaha might reduce the in- come of his employers. As commis- sioner of Douglas county he realizes that the people ought to have relief from the existing bridge monopoly. Which of the two masters is he to serve? OUR amiable contemporary illustrates the differenco between a newspaper and » club by reviving the old Vaughan campaign story against Commissioner Timme. People who know both Vaughan and Timme will have no diffieulty in passing upon the merits of any contro- versy in which they are involved. Mr. Timme is an old and veputable citizen. Mr, Vaughan wes and is an all around adventurer. We apprehend that Com- missioper Timme understunds the ob- ject of these bulldozing tactios THE PERPLEXING QUESTION. The division in the democratic party of Nabraska as to the most available candidate for the presidency is not poculinr. The question is perplexing and worrying the democrats generally, and it does not now seem probable that it will become less troublesome as the date of the national convention draws nearer, It to have affected even tho equanimity of the leading can- didate, for Mr. Cleveland himsolf has snid that he has frequentiy had misgiv- ings ns to the wisdom of his being again put in nomination. S0 far as known Mr. Hill has oxperienced no such feeling, but he can hardly be so blind to the situa tion as not to see that his chances have greatly diminished during the last few woeeks ond are growing steadily less. Of the al other gentlemen who have been more or iess thought of as poss candidates none has informod the public that ho has any douhts as to his a bility, but it is obvious that the 3 a whole does not ghare in the confidence which these several candidates have in themselves, Thereforo the New York rivals keap at the front and the division in the party is upon them. Lveryhody concedes that the masses of the party prefer Cleveland, outside of his own state. But new York isab- solutely necessary to democratic success thi par, and the coolheaded politi- cians of the party believe that Cleveinnd anot carry that state, while it is al- most equally certain that Hill cannot. One such, asouthern roprosentative in congress of long political experience, recently said: ‘It more apparent than ever that both Cleveland and Hill are out of the race;” and he oxpressed the opiuion that no Now York candi- date could carry the state. Two possi- ble candidates from other eastern states are Pattison of Pennsylvania and Gor man of Maryland, but it is very ques- tionable whether either could get the full democratic vote of New York There is reason to belive that each would be antagonized by a sufficient number of the Hill faction to defeat him in the state. West of the Alleghanics there is Campbell of Ohio, who was de- feated for governor by MeKialey and could not earry his own state: Gray of Indiana, who from present indications cannot command the support of the de egation from that state; Palmor of Iili- nois,whose 75 years make a very formid- able objection to him, and who is antag- appears sove is onized by Morrison and others; and Boies of Towa, of whom it is said that in Washington his name is occasionally suggested in a tentative way by demo- cratic congressmen from lowa, but without exciting enthusiasm or eliciting much comment. Such being the situation it is not sur- pristng that cloarheaded and candid democrats admit that tho party is in a critical ccndition and that the outlook is the reverse of cheerful and encour- agin, It will be very difficult for the ropresentatives of the party in national convention to *“‘get together” on poli- cies, but the probability is that it will be very much harder for them to har- monize upon a candidate. WHY THIS DELAY [t is a very common thing in legisla- tive bodies to kill a proposition by load- ing it down with amendments, which when adopted muie it inoporative. There is asuspicion that the tacties pur- sued in relation to tho Nebraska Cer- tral will torminate i killing the entire project. In the interest of Omaka it is to be hoped that thisattempt to smother a proposition that promises to raise the embargo on Omaha’s commerco will not suceeed. All nec restrictions should be imposed. The interests of the com- munity should be protected. Every precaution within reason should be taken to prevent the city and county from blundering into a subsidy which snull hereafter be used to oporess shippers and consumers. The promoters of this project should be treated with fairness, however. No conditions should be imposed that would deter capital from investing in the e terprise or purchasing its bonds. No financier will visk his money in any undertaking so hampored as to make the investment hazardous. The company proposes to pay the ex- pense of an election. It offers upon well defined conditions to accomplish certain ends within a given time. It rests with the peovple to say whether or not they are acceptable. 1f the terms upon which the subsidy is asked ave mot, the investment is the best the city and county has ever beea offered. If they ave not met, the company loses the money expended for an election, and the city and county are not out a dollar. ssary torested in rival enterprisos or trolled by the present transportation wonopolies are opposing its submission to the people. The people are becoming impatient at the delays in which noti- ing is ac lutions to kill more time. THE PARK LAND COMBINE, The pressure upon the council and park commission to forco the purchase point that demands some plain talk. At the outset the park land owners pro- fessed to be entirely indifflerent whether their offers were accepted or rejected. They asserted that their lands would command at private sale a much higher prive than they had beon offered for to the city. That was followed by bluster, brow-boating snd bulldozing, A per- emptory demand was mado that the city eithor take the lunds or lose the option of getting them at the price originally nuine disposed to act on business principles and secure & chaiv of parks and boule- vards by condemning such land as is deemed most desirable the park | combine comes to the front with o opinion from Judge their attorney that the eity has no right to acquire park and boulovard lands by condemnation process which would up- praise them at what they are actually worth, and furtherimore claims that tho ml | | eity has already made a valia contract for the purchase of ihose lauds at the extravagaut prices named by the own- con- omplished oxcept to pass reso- of tracts offered for parks has reached a Now that the muyor and council are Wakeley neting s HE ors, We apprehend | was on the bench instead of acting as an attorney he would searcely hold thata contract with the city would boe valid unless it was entered into by the joint action of mayor and council.

Would any business man invest $300,000 in ductive lands which he felt confident of buying for $300,000 two years hence or one year hence. The taxpayers of Omaha have already saved at least threo months’ interest on $400,000 by delay and they will continue to e interest at tho rate of $1,666 a month. By the time the legislature convenes we shall have saved $20,000 in terest alone and we shall -furthermore entitled to the taxes on the tracts which will incroase the saving at least 2,000 more. In other wor by the timo the legislature has revised the charter 5o s to give us the right of emi- nent domain boyond dispute wo shall have saved fally $25,000 and we will be ar- unpro- be in position to substitute for the proposed seattering and isolated park land tracts a chain of connected parks and boule- vards for less than $400,000. There can bo no loss to working people by the delay. On the contrary, they will be largely the gainers in the end. To ex pend $400,000 for land does not put a dollar in the pocket of a workingman. In fact mora than half of the sum will o to non-resident capitalists. The working people are interested in o sys tem of parks and rondways that will give them constant employment. They have no interest in common with speculators who want to unload taxable land upon the city which would remain untaxed and unimproved until Omaha votes an- other block of bonds or until the park levy can be raised by the legislature. AN OBJECT LE. The wheat speculation on the Chicago Board of Trade which culminated on Mouday in favor of the ‘‘boars,”” the leading operator on that side having won, it is estimatod, hatf a million dol- lars, supplied an object lesson 1n grain gambling that ought to make somo votes in congress for the anti-option legislation which has been proposed. The successful speculator in this case, who is known among his fellow specu- lators as a “*plunger,” a term which im- plies rockless and headlong gambling, is said to have had a short line of 10,- 000,000 bushels of wheat, and ho and hi associates on the boar side had been battling for days to break down the market. Of course it may be said that it was not their operations that caused a break in the price, but a docline abroad, together with a showing of do- crease in the visible supply much less than the “hull” speculators had counted on, yet the whole business was nothing clso than gambling, pure and simple, and the effect of such operations, whether the price of a commodity gam- bled in advance or decline, cannot be otherwise than demoralizing. There was no wheat nctually changing hands 1 this speculation. The transactions did not involve the transfer from one to unother of the speculators of a single bushel of geain. It was meroly a betting business throdghout, and therefore in every essontial respect gambling. Whatever difference of opinion there ba as to the effect of this sort of eculation upon the interests of the producers of the country, it is presumed that no one will claim that it is legiti- mate. The remonstrances of boards of trade, prominent among which was one from the Chicago hoard, urged that there was legitimate and illezitimate speculation and professed to approve of any legislation that would prevent the latter. Dealing in futures is understood to be legitimate when the transactions contemplate an actual possession of the property, but the speculation which culminated in Chicago on Monday is not of this character, and being merely gambling deserves to be treated as such. This is what is proposed to be done by the anti-option bills in congress. Itis not intended to interfere with such transactions as commercial expo.ience has shown to be necessary and proper, but to put a stop to that sort of so-called dealing which is distinetly gambling, and the effect of which in any and all cases must be moro or less demoralizing and hurtful The latest Chicago spoe lation will very likely renew interest in congress in the anti-option bills which seem to have been lost sight of, though perhaps it is only the urgency of other ) s Public sentimont strongly fuvors | matters that is delaying consideration of encouraging this project. It s | thom, There has been n strong pressura recognized as meritorious by tax- | of gpposition to them, but the opinion is payoers gonerally. Only parties in- | ypag anti-option legislation will be adopted at the present session of con- gress. As betweon tho domand of the food producers of tha country and tho desire of the speculators there ought to be no hesitation in reacning adecision. THE newspupors of Nebraska who have done so much to forward the home patronage movemont can help forward the good work so well begun by speaking frequently and encouragingly of the groeat industrial exhibit which opens in this city June 11. The Manufacturers and Consumers association, under whose auspices the exposition will be con- ducted, is a Nebraska institution with 174 members. The manufacturers who are members of the organization in the interior of the state have been given precedence in the selection of space for their displays and everything possible is being done to make the eveut one of importance to the industries ot the state at large. GOVERNOR BOYD sent a letter of re- gret to the committes on reception of Congressman Bryan at Lincoln Tuesday wight. The governor did not give reasons in detail for his absence, but the fact is that he was busily engaged in a wame of fan tan with Euehd Mastin in ACCORDI 0 the director of the mint the coining value of 54,000,000 ounces of* fine silver is $69,810,181, At the aver- ags rate paid for silver by the depart- ment during tho calendar year 1891, which wus a little less than 99 cents, the ch the park landowners appeat | cost of 54,000,000 ounces would bo $53,- 407,244, whicljWould give a seigniorage or profit to the government of $16,411, With frek #pinago this profit would £0 0 the silyeg producers, it is lardly necessary to remark that it is this fact which mainly inspires the sil- ver men of Colorado, Nevada and other silver-producin g states and territorios in their persisteht efforts to the people that the material and prosperity of the country ave de- pendent upon, the free and unlimited coinage of sil Doubtlass this zeal Pe and convinee progress w, in their own intorest is natural and v donable. If thoy can incrense the profits of their business from $16,000,000 to $20,- 000,000 annually they would be more than human not to do it. But the farmer and the laborer who canunot get an extra profit from tho government and must sell his products and his labor at the market price, is very foolish to support the demand of the silver men for a pol- icy that would give them nearly one- third more than what they produce will bring in the market. It ought to be plain to every intelligent mun who will consider the matter practically that the agitation for free silver coinnge, so far as those interested in silver production are concerned, is prompted and sus- tained wholly by mercenary motives. DETROIT proposes a novel method for encouraging annexation sentiment in Canada, It is estimated that over 10,000 unnaturalized foreigners, nearly all Canadians, obtain a living and daily employment in that city, and a resolu- tion has been intreduced in the city council which proposes to nssess such persons, not vesiding in the state and not having declared their intention to become citizens of the, United States, $10 annually. 1t is explained that this was designed to strengthen the annexa- tiou sentiment in the province of On- tario, and whether this was the inten- tion or not it would be very likely to have that effect. But whatever the motive or purpose, the proposition is so novel as to be interesting, particularly in view of the fact that in the event of its being put into effect 1t will raise the question whether a municipality can levy and collect such an assessment.
