SoME congressman shou'd now sneak into the lecord a complete copy of “Kreutzer Sonata,” and then without doubt the abuses to which the Record is subject will be forever abandoned.

Now let the Board of Trade devote itsolf to the enterprise of securing flour- ing mills, cereal mills, malt houses and storage elevators. Once have these es- tablishments there will be no difficulty about making Omaha a grain market.

Boies of lown, was the guest of the Greystone club of Denver not long since, whore he was expected to declaro himsellf for free silver, but he studiously ignored the subjoct. Por- haps Mr. Boies is a coward and dare not define his position. *“God hates a coward,” WuiLe Tue BEE has not favored the retention of the caucus as part of the primury election machinery the fact that the commitiee has concluded to continue the caucus under certain restrictions makes it the starting point of the impending campaign, Every re- publican should therefore make it his business to attend his ward caucus this evening.

When they have done as much for promoting the growth of Omaha as Tug Bee bas, when they have con tributed to great public enterprises and when they have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in monumental buildings it will be pardonable for them to stigmatize TiE BEE as 8 mossback and obstructionist. DEMOCRATS GIVE UP NEW ENGLAND. Since the Rhode Island election the more clear headed among the democratic leaders have about abandoned all hops of carrylng any of the New England state Before that defeat some of them had counted confidently upon carrying at least three of those states, them Massachusetts in the eventol Mr. Cleveland bosing the ecandidate. The vrospects of tho party in that section were staked upon Rhode Istand, and the party threw into the campaign all the onergy and influence it could command It sont there its bast available spoakers and its leading candidate for the prosi- dency and high priost of tarift reform. It flooded the little commonwealth with literature attacking the policy of pro- tection and preached tariff reform in ty, town and hamlet of the state It presented but this ono issue, stua ously ignoring freasilver, which a la go majority of the party in the country de mands, It organized and carcied on the most vigorous and aggressive eampaign among overy in the history of Rhode Island, and it suffered what undor the civcumstances must fairly bo regarded as an over whelming defont. If such offorts could not win in a stato whore the conditions seemed so favor- able to succoss, thero is obviously no hope for the democracy in othor states where like conditions favoving that party do not exist in equal dogree. The roturns show that in the principal man- ufacturing towns of Rhode Island the vepublicains made heavy gains. This is substantial and conciusive evidence that the workers in the mills and fac- tories of that state do not want tariff roform on the democratic plan. Tt was a distinct rebuke of the action of the democratic house of ropresentatives 1n tacking the wool schedule of the tar and of its entire policy regarding the tarifl. What good reason can be given for oxpecting a different verdict in the manufacturing statos of Massachusotts and Conneeticut, whose industrios ave s vitally concernod in the maintenance of the protection policy as aco those of Rhode Island? But it is not this alone which renders the cause of the demoeratic party in the New England states hopeless. The fact that a largo majority of the par in the country favors tho freo and unlimitod coinage of silver is no less potent in its influsnee upoun the voters of that section. They ave not deceived by the temporary defeat of froe silver legislation in a democratic houss, or by the ctreumstance that certain leaders ignore this question as a matter of pre ent expediency. They understand that 1f the next congroess and the next ad- ministration should be democratic legis- lation for the free and unlimited coinage of silver would be iuevitable. Quite as much, therefore, to maintain a sound and stable currency as to prevent an unwise and injurious interference with the tariff the states of New England may safely be counted upon to give their electoral votes 1o tho republican candidate ior president. ANXIOUS LEADE It is easy to believe the statomentthat the democratic leaders of the house of reprosontatives are anxious and uncasy The unpromising outlook for the party and concern for their own political fu- ture will account for vhis. It is said that soveral conferences have recently been held to discuss the condition of business in the house, with a view to an encrgetic effort to bring the session to an end as soon as practicable. Those who dosire this are confronted by several serious obstacles, chief among which is the difficulty of reconciling the differen- cesbetween the Crispand anti-Crisp fac- tions. All efforts to bring this about have thus far failed, and it is said that many of the supporters of the Mills plan of tariff revision now assert more strongly than ever that the policy adopted by Springer and a majority of his democratic colleagues of the ways and means committee was not ony wrong in every sense, but that its fuil- ure has already been demonstrated. The plain truth regarding tho demo cratic majority in the house of repre- sentatives is, that cowardice and imb cility have marked its entire conduct thus far, and this applies equally to botk. factions, The course adopted rogarding the tariff was a surrender of the position of the party, which was distinctly pledged to a measure of general rovision, The attitude of Mills and his followers in this matter was straightforward and honest, and had their counsul prevailed the party would at least have the credit of making a courageous effort to carry out its promise, but as it is the scheme of tariff reform adopted is rogarded by the country as a ludicrous failure. On the other hand, tha position of the Mills following regarding silver, in their ef- fort to pustpone its consideration us a matter of political expediency. was equally dishonest, and whiie it deceived nobody it illustrated tho cowardice of the party and its aptitude for false pre- tenses, The two democratic factions in the house have been in an almost constant warfare since the session commenced and the minority faction has been grow- ing steadily more indifferent rogarding matters of legislntion. The speaker has rendered himself unpopular by his arbitrary rulings and dogmatic methods; the cheeseparing chairman of the ap- propriations committee, Holman, has made trouble that has delayed the worl of the committee, and altogether this democratic housa has given another striking example of the capncity of the party for folly and blundering, There is small probability of any improvement, and this being the case it is not surpris- ing that some of the leaders are uneasy and anxious to bring the session to an end as soon as practicable. Tn this elimate the working season be- gins about the first of May and ends November 1st or a few weeks later. During this full half of the yoar most of our material progress is made. It therefore becomes the more necessary to begin promptly with public work when the winter is finally ended, in order thut we shall accomplish as much as possible during the comparatively short period of activity, The city council, Board of Public Works and other bodies charged with the public works should therefore make THE OMAHA hasto with their preliminary prepara- tions to the end tnat as soon as the weather is suitable coniracters may begin work. Wao should oxpend every dollar available in paving, repairing, grading, viaduct building and sewerage the present season. There are hundreds of honest men in Omaha anxiousl waiting for work and wages,and the city government awes it to them to place both within their reach at the earliest possible momont. For a similar reacon the proposition for bonds to the Nebraska Central rail- road should be submitted without de- lay. If the subsidy is voted that cor poration ean and probably will bogin its the summer Its plan as outlined will necessitata tho em- ployment of a largoe force of laborers and thus add another element of perity to Omaha. Should the council the city attorney’s interprotation of the charter provisions relative to condem- nution of park and boulevard lands, un- less obsteuciionists interpose injunce tions, employment can be given to scoresof laborors in the improvement of the parks and boulevards by midsum- mer, All these public enterp s should be pushed with all possible speed to the point of actual employment of lubor. Then with the federal building, the work before is over. pros- decide to accept school buildings, tho stock yard and packing house oxtensions, the private enterprises and the public works wo shall sce an army of men lately idle busily en- gaged earning wages and contributing products of their labor to the general the business weliare of the city. The motto of overy citizen of Omaha in both pub- lic and private life for this year should be *‘push things.” Tis action of the executive commit- tee of th rorgia state al ing a resolution requiring that alliances in that state which have entered the prople’s party shall rescind that action or surrender their charters, is signifi- cant. It is probably the beginning of a movement, inaugurated at the instance of democratic leaders in the south, to check whatever tendeney there may be in that section favorable o the new party, and there will very likely be similar action taken in other states. It is well known that some of the southern democratic leaders have becomo uncasy regarding tho possible effect of the people’s party movement upon demo- cratic ascendency in the south, and it is by no means improbable that the sum- mary action of the executive committee of the Georgin state allinnco was in- spired by these anxious leaders. As the membership of the southern alifunces is overwhelmingly democratic there is no likelihood that any alliance in Georgia will surrender its charter in order to follow the new party. The significant suggestion of this incident is that the democeratic managers in the south ave preparing to head off any danger to the party in that section, and they will doubtless succeed. They are determined that the south shall be kept solid, and it is safe to predict that the new party will cut no figure there in the presi- dential election. Meanwhile the demo- crats in the republican states of the north will continue to urge the alliance people to make war upon the repub- licin party and cast their influence and votes so that they will count for the democracy. It is quite possible, how- ever, that the intelligent " members of the alliance in the north will declino to be used in this way when the time ar- rives for casfing their vote: we, in pass- THE new era in democratic politics in Nebraska, according to a recent zon- vert, is to usher into place, position and prominence the younger element.

The old soldiers ure to be set aside without honors or pensions and the frosh follows who have never won a battle or covered a respectable retreat will carry the Dbanners and grab the spoils. Truly it must be a great thing to have been life-lonz democrat and come to this in middle life and old age. The venerable and the battle scarred are entitled to the sympathy of their encmics now that they are fcrgotten and cast aside by the kids and the dudes who are to profit by their labors. THE country will heartily approve the action of the president by which the dificulty with Italy, growing out of the killing of Italinn citizens in New Or- leans, is sutisfactorily settled and the resumption of diplomatic relations be- tween the two countries is assurod, The payment by this government of an in- demnuity of $23,000 to the families of the murdered men is gonerous nnd attests the earnest desire of the United States to deal justly with the families of the vietims of the unfortunate occurrence, though the general government was in no sense responsible for it. The note of tho representative of the Italian gov- erament in this country acknowledging the action of tha president expresses the entiro satisfaction of the Italian govern- ment and conveys the assurance that the diplomatic relations between Italy and the United States are again frmly established. In all this difficulty our government has maintained a cousist- ent, fair and honorable attitude, and the peaceable termination of the trouble, under circumstances entirely creditable to the United States, must have the effect to make stronger than before the friendship of the two nations. — Tne Michigan delegation to Minne- apolis is uninstructed, but it is und. stood that it will present the name of General Alger to the convention and, of course, give him its vote. There is no present iudication that Michigan’s favorite son will have any other sup- port, and in that event it is possible that his friends from the Wolver state way finally conclude not o comwit the DAIL folly of placing hig natme before the con- vention. So far agappenrs there is no more interest amgpg republicans gen- orally in the candidacy of General Alger than thero is in thatof ex-Senator Bluir, and however commendable his ambition may boit is mandostly ill-timed. 1t is charitable to think that Alger has given too much heed to dissatistied politicians who will have no influence at Minno- apolis, e T decision of the republicans of Florida to surretider that state to the democrats this vear without a struggle is not to their credit. Whatever disnd- vantages they may he under by reason of the ballot box law, they should make a fight, if for no other reason than to maintain their organization and keep re- publiean principles before the people. The refusai to pluce any ticket in the fleld, either national, congressional or state, Is cowardly, and the effect will doubtless be to put an end to the party in ['lorida, EVERY active republican should ba on hand at his ward caucus tonight to holp in the selection of delegates to the com= ing county convention. m— Distance Lend antment, New York World, There is a goneral desiro that Mr. Blair should get a foreign appointment, “and the foreignerahe better.” St Blighted by Bad Weather, Kansas Ciiy J wrnal.

In tne present House there are 304 conservatites, 65 liberal-unionists, 215 Glad stonians and 86 Irish nationaiists—670 in all. The government’s majority I8 thus 67, with- out counting tho speaker. In the new House it is estimated that thero will surely be <54 conservatives, 42. liboral-unionists, 200 Glaa- | stonians wnd 82 nationalists, The other ninety-two seats are doubtful. Should the | government carry them all its majority would be 105, Should Mr. Gladszono carry them all his majority woutd be 79, Should they bo equally divided betwoen tho two the conservatives would havo a majority of 1t i3 interesting to observe that most of the doubtful seats ure now occupied by tha government party, Thus it is thought the opposition 1s suro of holding 252 of its 01 seats, leaving only ninetean doubtful, whilo tho governmont is sure of only 200 of its 360, leaving soventy-three doubtful. Thoro is overy reason to belteve that the figures given aro as freo as possible from party color and furnish astrustworthy a basis for specula tion as can in such a way bo found. Con- jectura as to the result of the election may also bo based on the returns of by-elections. In these contests the drift has been heavily against the government. At tho boginuing of the present Parliament tho conservativos had 316 members; now they have 304 The liberal-unionists haa seventy-seven, inelud- ing the speaker; now they have sixty- fivo. On the other ‘hand, the Glad stonians, who then numbered 102, are now 215, and tho natwonalists, then eighty-five, are now eighty-six. The govornment major- 1ty has thus dwinaled from 115 in 1886 to 67 in 1802, n loss of 48. In thus impressive fact Mr. Gladstone has found ampls encourage- ment for his beliof in the flowing tide of lib. eralism that is to bear bim once more to power. But theu the conservatives, too, aro deriying comfort from the returns of by-ele tions, chiefly from those of recent date. Sinco the close of the session of 1800 thero have been twenty-two contested by-elections, not counting Bast Belfast and Cork, where the contests were hopeless. Of these the government and the opposition have oach carriod eleven. For the cleven government candidates elected some 2,000 votes were cast move than for the eleven successful members of the opposition. Morcover, in these constituencies the government voto in- creased from nearly S0,000 in 1550 to over $6,000 in 150002, while the opposition vote decreased from over 85,000 to a litile over 84,000, Tho order issued by the Austro-Hungarian authorities prohiviting celebrations of the third contenary of Amos Comenius, excited immense fudignation among the young Crechs, who havo not yet forgotten the government opposition a few years ago to the erection of a monument to John Hus in Prague. Speak ing in tho assembly on a proposition to give greater independence to the schoolmastors of Bohemia, a member of the Young Czech party, Dr. Herold, speaking on behalf of the mensure, seized the opportunity to attack the minister of public instruction. “*How can it be expected that anything should be done for the schoolmasters,” he asked, “when there is at the hend of the Department of Public Instruction a man bold enough to sully tho memory of the greatest educatioval innovator of the world! The sacrilegious hand which was raised ngalnst Hus and Comenius shall be thrust aside, The Czech people will not tolerate further insalt to the maumory of its great mer. Elsewhere such a minister could not remain twenty-four hours b his post.” These sentiments were greeted with enthusiastic applause, and a sceno of groat confusion ensuod, esitisnioie THE RUSTLER WAR.
