IT WILL bo worth a good deal of money to Omaha to have the Nebraska Central enterprise well on its feet with- in the next Tix elevator mon have completed an organization culled tho Nebraska Grain Men’s association and if properly man- aged it will prove a power in Nebraska. No PROPOSITION has ever been presonted to the people of Omaha and Douglus county of greater importance to the future of both than that of the Nebraska Central Raiirond company. WyYOMING may send alady delegate to the Minneapolis convention just for the novelty of the vhing—and for adver- tising purposes. In Wyoming only will the ladies vote for presidential electors. ALTHOUGH the signatures of the mayor and city clerk have been affixed to the library bonds pending their reg- istration, it is remarked that the deed to the Reed lot in fee has not yet been placed in escrow. A T.ONG pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether for all enterprises that prom- ise to give Omaha improved railway fa- cilities and mills, fuctories and work- shops weuld insure a quarter of a mil- lion population for this city by the time the state census 1s taken in 1895, TH tate Grain Men’s aesociation should pay some attention to the work- ings of the warehouse law. If this law is to stand upon the statute books it must be self-sustaining. A bill for a deficiency in salaries will be the death knell of the warehouse system contem- plated by the law, THE short-sighted action of the Board of Education in erecting a four room frame building on the Hitcheock sito for Clifton Hill people is shown by the fact thot it is already too small. A few thousand dollars additional would have built a substantial brick structure of six or erght rooms, THE litlle pampklets containing the rules for conducting the primaries adopted by the county committee an- nounce republican caucuses for tonight at8 p.m. It isobsorved some of the local committees have fixed the hour of 7:30, This will make confusion. All should accept 8 o'clock as the time in order to carry out the spirit as well as the letter of caucus reform. THERE was keen, cutting sarcasm in Mr. Mahoney’s observation that the men on the Martin delegation were not obliged to send to Kentucky for a cer- tificate to their democrscy. They had earned the distinction of loyalty in No- braska in hard fought campuigns by turning out when the blue grass brand of Nebruska democrats could not be moved to lift a hand. Mr, Offutt took the home thrusts good naturedly. CONGRESSMAN BRY AN bonsts that he always has the courage of voting his convictions, but when it comes to decid- ing which oi the two delegations from Douglas is entitled to seats in the democratic state convention he bravely declines to assume the responsibility of voting on either side because he did not want to offend anybody. If ull the other delegates had followed Bryan’s example and dodged the issue what wou!d have become of the convention? —ee THE pension investigation has thus far left no stain upon the character of Green B. Raum, the commissioner, but it has revealed the fact that pension claims drag their slow length along very tediously unless expodited by an attorpey or congressman, General Raum should now devise a system by which the individual pensioner can safely eutrust his elaim to the peunsion oftice without calling in the aid of his wongressmun or hiring an attorney, THE OMAHA THE NNSYLV A DEMOCRAC The vote of Pennsylvania national democratic convention will in the be 61, oight less than the state of Nev York. The state convontion of the democratic party of Peasylvania ds- clared “‘that the best interests of the party and country dsmand the nomin- ation and oiection of Grover Clevelund aspresident,” and the delegation chosen, ail the members of which ave under- stood to favor the nomination of Cleve land, directed to act as a unit. This action of the democracy of the Koystone state was cxpacted, and the offect upon the chances of Mr. Cleveland had therefore been discounted. To have ured the full delegation from Penn- anin is unquestionably a valuable , but the influ- syl ucquisition to his suppor enceof the Pennsylvania democrats upon convention will not bo so of somo states having a vote, for the the national great as that smaller electoral that tho state is safely republican wrison’s plurality in 1888 was over ,000, and it is altogether probablo that the plurality for the republican candi- dato this year will not bo less. The Pennsylvania domocrats, there fore, can promiss nothing for the cand date thoy favor, and while their repre- ntatives in the national convention are almost numerous enough to offset the delegation from New York, which is op- posed to thewr eandidate, their influenco will be immensurably less than that of the delegation from the pivotal and doubtful Kmpire state, There is, conse- quently, no very great importance to be given the declaration of the PPennsyl- vania democracy in favor of Clevelund. Had the party declared for Governor Pattison, who hus twice carried the state, it would have been very much more significant. The friends of Mr. Cleveland can make little capital out of the action of the demoerats of Pennsyl- van On the other hand it is shown that Mre. Hill has no standing whatever in thut It appears that there was no movement av all in his behalf, no one to say u word in his favor. Ho fared r than this in the Massachusetts roason convention, where he not only had zeal- ous champions, but his friends w cessiul in seeuring tvo of the de As to the views of the Penns, democracy, they do not invite particular consideration. The platform declares for honest money, “the gold and silver coinage of the constitution,” and thi the country is getting. It is to be narked, however, that the Penusylvania democrats would have better shown the courage of their convictions if they had been a little more explicit on this sub- jeet There is the stereotyped opposi- tion to the tariff and a demand that the sting law be repealed and a revised tariff adopted *‘with due regard for the rights of Americau labor and the preser- vation of our manufactures.” This is not in accord with the plan of atiacking the tarff law in detail being carried out by the representatives of the democracy in congress, and which has little regard for the interests of American labor and industries. It is probable thatif the PPennsylvania delegation should con- clude, after going into the national con- vention, that the nomination of Cleve* land would not be expedient, it will g its support to Governor Pattison. e THE REAL OBSTRUCTIONISTS. According to our amiable contempor- ary, Tig BEE is an obstructionist in the puth of public improvements and pros- pevity when it opposes the immediate purchuse of the park tructs at the prices which the owners demund, If this con- stitutes blocking the growth of Omaha, Tne b is willing to be clussed us an obstruetionist, THE BEE has always been an advocate of every public improvement that would promote the material welfare of Omaha and contribute toward the growth and prosperity of this city. It was an advocate of a liberal system of public improvements, including pave- ments, sewernge, water works and parks when Omaha was in hor infancy, But while favoring water works, it most vigorously opposed and defeated the Holly water works job which was puiled through the council by corrupt methods twelve years ago. While favoving puve- ments, it oppused most vigorously the wooden block pavements that were foisted upon this city by greedy con- tractors and short sighted property owners, Tie Bee was denounced and even boyeotted for a time because it opposed the combine that located the new post- office on block 86 and in that memorable contest the plea of the interested parties and their mouthpieze was that Tie B) was obstructing a great public improve- ment which was to he begun immedi- ately—that is in the spring of 1889, just three years ago. Up to this time the great improvement hus only materinl- ized in a hole in the ground that may during the present year be filled with concrete and wooden piling to make ready for foundations. And who was the real obstructionist of the vark system? Five years ago when the charter that embodied ample powers for securing a system of parks and boulevards for Omaha at their rea! value under appraisement, was befor the legislature all the Omaha dailies ex- copt THE BEE organized a combine to defeat the charter, In this nefarious work they were actively supported by mossbacks and greedy land owners who wanted to force the city to buy their land at three prices. The obstruction ists succeeded by the help of the jobbers and railrond lobby which opposed the railroad taxation clause of the charter in knocking out the provision for parks and boulevards, and upon them the re- spousibility rests for the failure of Omaha to have & comprohensive system of parks at this time. Now that we have stood it for five yoars we can stand it for eight mouths longer unless the owners of park lands are willing to part with them at reason- ablo prices under an impartial appraise- wment. ——— THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW. The convention of stute railrcad com- missioners in session at Washington has recommended to congress soveral amendments to the interstate commerce act. These relate to judicial proceed- ings and are intended to give greater value to evidence elicited by the Inter- state Commerce comwission. Undoubt- edly the suggested changes in the law wonld be found serviceible, both in strongthening the powers of the com- mission and in expaditing judicial pre courts upon the evidence introduced ba- fore the commission, and it is ontirely proper to provide that as batween the parties the findings of the commission shall in eq proseedings have the force and effect of a mastar’s report in chancery., The latter amendment has already, we believe, besn proposed in congress, and very likely proceeded from the comiission itself. Atany rate there is no valid objsction to it, at least from the point of view of the public in- torost, that sossion, There is some danger congross will not, ut mike such amendimsnts to the interstats com- law s exparisncs has showa to be ubsolutely necessary in order to make it cffective, and it would boa grave mistake to nllow this matter to the present merce be carried over to the shost session, ba cause then there might be a disposition to leave it to the care of the new con- gress which will be chosen next No- vember. Undoubtedly the - railronds would bring to bear all their influence 10 have this done, just as it may safely be assumed they are now doing to have consideration of this matter put off until the next session of the presont congress. So far as appears the Intorstate Com- merce commission is not now doing any- thing. A truce scems to have been established by a sort of tacit understand- ing, though it is not to be assumed that the railroads are showing any more respect for the law than when the com- mission appeared to be active in run- ning down abuses and earnest in the purpose to onforce the law. Itis not to be doubted that violations of the in- terstate commerce act are as general avd as numerous at this time ns they have ever been, and the longer the rail- roads are permitted to enjoy immunity from prosecution and punishment the worse they will bacome. of thi The tendency state of affairs is neccessarily to a public sentiment unfriendly to and it is doubtless safe to say not so strong today in the popular regard, owing to the failure to enforce it, as at any previous time since the act went into effect. The principle has as strong support as it ever had, but the law has been shown to be de fective, and there has conscquently boen a loss of public confidence in it which can be restored only by such changes in the act as will enable the commission to enforce its provisions. The reguired amendments have been clearly indicated, and the matter is of such importance that congress ought to act upon it with- out unnecessary delay. SENATOR STEWART of Nevada, the persistent champion of frec silver, is rather heavily handicapped by the fact that for several years he has had all his mortgages made payable in gold coin. The New York Irening Post recently printed a list of twenty-six mortgages in favor of Senator Stewart, furnished by the recorder of Alameda county, Cali- forma, and duly attested, in all but one of which it is stipulal that principal and interest are payable in gold coin. The senator could not deny the record but e sought to relieve himself by saying that the mortgages were made out by his agent and that the gold payment condition was under the speeif tract law of Californin, The Washing- ton correspondent of the Evening Post, who secured the list of mortgages, very conclusively shows that these pleadings of Mr. Stewart are inadmissible and con- victs the champion of freo silver of pre- varication. There can be no doubt that Senator Stewart was fully conversant with the character of the contract made in these mortgages, and undoubtediy his agent or broker acted on instructions. The Nevada senator is a shrewd man of business who doubtless loaves very little to the discretion of other people in the management of his financial affuirs, and it is entirely sufe to assume that in these transactions, aggregating nearly $25,000 Mr. Stewart knew all about the charac ter and conditions of the contract. As the corvespondent of the Kvening Post observes, ‘‘The depreciated silver dol- lar, in his mind, was good enough for the peoplo at large, but he would have none himsell.” It is p obable there are other free silver advocates in the same boat. Tie next important democratic con- vention, so far as its expression regard- ing presidential candidates is conceirned, will be that of Ohio. There is said to be a very strong sentiment among the Buckeye democracy favorable to ex- Governor Campbeli. but the 1mpression is that a majority of the delegation from that state will be for Cleveland, with Campbell ae asecond choice. In the event of Cleveland being nominated Campbell might have a very fair chance of getting second place, mainly for tho renson that he is on very good terms with the ex-president. There does not appear to bo any Hill sentiment of con- sequence in Ohio, though some demo- crats gratefully remember the service he rendered in 1890. Ohio democracy is so nearly of the Tammany type that it is rather surprising there is so little in- terest manifested in Hill's candidacy. I¥ DOUGLAS street is to have another cut it must be done within the next thirty days, before property owners have expended large sums in reconstruction of buildings nnd eroction of retaining walls, In this connection it may as well be borne in mind that the street cannot be lowered more than one foot at the in« tersection of Seventeenth without seri- ous damage to the New York Life and Beg buildings. A radical cut would doubtless be desirable for property own- ers who have no permanent improve- ments, but such a scheme never can be carried out without involving the city in costly and protracted litigation that would prevent any iwmprovements for years. —_—— JupGr BATTY, the wemporary chair- man of the democratic convention, has the merit of childlike candor, He made no bones of it that the names of the nine solid Boyd men whom he wppointed on the craaeniials committee were in his vest pocket bafore he had ascended the ceodings instituted by it. It is ni- | fostly just to require that tho railvond companies shall try theircisa 1n tho DAILY 1 trifling matter and given itout cold that | he had not tha xemotest idea about the make-up of (j6; credentinis commitieo until after the convention had directed him to name the'picked nine.

Washington Post. Thero may come a time in the history of this republic when men holding the high of- fice of senator of the United States will have the manliness not to lend themselyes to this virtual assassination of character. It smacks too much of the inquisition to have a place in a government of the people. The change caniot cowo too socn. Culling the Unabrlaged. New York Advertiser. Dana has invented another name for Mr. Cleveland. He now refers to him as “the Sarcotic dervish.,” There still remains such beautiful titles as the Egotistic Polycotyle- don, the Polgastric Anthropoid, the Holo- blastic Behomoth and the Omniforious Gas- teropod. All these, properly hurled at Mr. Cleveland in San bres icy, will cause bim to shrink vastly in pitblic'esteom. And that's what Mr. Dana is ‘after.
