THE notorious Ehrenpfort,a democrat, who was repudiated by his neighbors at the polls last fall and who has since been on tho pay roll of the Union Pacific railway company has been made deputy by a vepublican successor. What doe: it mean? RATLROAD rates are now the sole ob- struction to the upbuilding of a grain market in Omaha. Milling-in-transit rates on all other lines as well as the Union Pacific are all that is needed to place the movement for a grain market fairly on its feet. STEALING political pabulum from copyrighted books and circulasing it at public expense under the guise of specches by congressmen is a con- temptible trick, of which only a con- sciencelc tic or independent member would be guilty CAPTAIN FTAYES seems to be the com- ing man for president of the Union Pa- cific. His selection would indicate a compromise between the Gould and con- flicting nterests, for he was many years a trusted lieutenant in the southwest of the Wizard of Wall street. REPUBLICANS of this city should make it their business to vote at the primary elections tomorrow. elections are the fivst step in the pend- ing presidential campaign and it be- hooves men who arve interested in the supremucy of tho party in the impend- ing struggle to manifest their interest in the selection of delegates to the nom- inating conventions that will reflact their sentiment and choice. Wit the city attorney’s elaborate opinion before him clearly pointing out the provisions of the law under which the city has the power to exercise the right of eminent domain for the purposo of acquiring parks and boulevards, will Mayor Bemis join with the majority of the council in the scheme to pay out #400,000 for park lands that could be bought for 25 per cent less if the city did not enter the real estate market as u compulsory purchaser? — e AToR HILL refused to respond on the first call of the vote upon Senator Kyle's amendment to the Arizona fund- ing bill substituting the words *“lawful money” for *'gold coin” in the clause providing for the payment of interest bonds provided in the act. Whan the point of no quorum had been made he voted for “lawful money” and against gold coin. He discovered that the vote would not be a real test of sentiment and 80 he feltsafe in throwing out a crumb of comtort to the froe silver men who sought to make the amandment have some bearing upon the free coin- age question. — OREGON democrats have passed a resolution favoring Governor Pennoyer for vice presidont. Pennoyer has achieved a world-wide reputation for his monumental self-conceit. His popu- larity among web-footed democrats is nothing to their credit. It was Pennoyer that proclaimed himself the peer in of- ficlal position of the president of the United States and declared that he would not greet the presidential party at the Oregon state line, but would wait for them to pay court to him at Salem. He became ashamed of himself later and journeyed to the state line, but the peo- ple bave not forgotien what a fool ho made of himsel, | TW0 REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS The republican state convention of Pennaylvania was unequivocally a Har- rison convention. The platform adopted declares unbounded confidence in the president and commends in the hearti- est terms the course of the administra tion on international questions, giving to Secrotary Blaine just credit for his share in the achievoments of Amo An diplomacy e efforts of Senator Quay and the comparatively few republicans in Pennsylvania who ave unfriendly to President Harrison to turn the party against him signally failed. They were successful in controlling only threo or four eounties, while in all the rest the sontiment was overwhelmingly in favor of the president. The expression of the convention is therefore tho practically unanimous voice of the republicans of the state in favor of the renomin ation of President Harrison, and although the dologates-at-large namod by the con- vontion wore not instructed, thare can be no doubt that their action at Minne- apolis will ba in accord with ths wili of the pasty as manifastelin tho county and stato conventions. Ths Penn vania delegation will vots unanimously for the president’s renomination. The Massachusetts state ropublican convontion was oqually stroag i its en- dorsemont of Prasidont Harrison and nis administration, which was com- mended for its vigor, justice, efliciency, freedom from scandal and beilhant di- plomacy. The republican dnlogates from Massachusetts to tho national con- vention are not insteucted, but they, reflecting the sentiment of the party in the state, will undoubtedly be unanimous for the renomination of Pres- wdent Harrison. On all national issues the platforms of both these conventions are sound, clear and unequivosal, Thoy declare ngainst free silver, demand the maintenance of protection, and endorso reciprocity, the Massachusetts vepublicans declaring thut ‘‘any changes in the tariff neces- y from time to time should bo mude by the friends of protection, not the en- emies.” Live republican state thus far held has been favor also, convention ble to the renomination of President Harrison, and there is cvery roason to expect thut thoso to follow will be equally pro- nounced in support of the just claims of the president to bo again the standavd boarer of his party. There are still o few dissatisfied politicians, governed wholly by selfish motives, who endeavor to create disaffection in the party, but their influcnes is not widely felt and will have no weight at all in the na- tional convention ainst the counsel of such distinguished republicans as Sher- man, Allison, Aldvich, Cullom, McKin- ley and others who acknowledge the propricty and justness of renominating President Harrison. The intelligent masses of the party understand and ap- precinte the excellent work of the ad- ministration, and while they are willin, to accord to every member of it a just share of the creait for what has been achieved, they know that to the presi- dent belongs much the largest share Both in the management of our domastic affairs and in the conduct of interna- tional controversies the ability and sound judgment of President Harrison have been couspicuously shown, and no department of the executive branch of the government has been without his constant, carefal and vigilant attention. The endorsement of republican conven- tions is therefore not mere perfunctory approval, but a just recognition of the. wisely direeted and successful work of the president. SENATOR HILL'S DESIGNS. Although it is the general opinion that Senator David B. Hill will not be nominated at Chicago, he is still re- garded as a rather interesting and im- portant factor in the democratic situa- tion. When Mr. Hill finds, as it is practically certain he will find, if he has not alre that he has no chance of boing mado the candidate of his party, to whom will he throw his influence? This is a question which is receiving attention in democratic circles. Somo persons who ovidently have an entirely crroncous idea of the character of Mr, Eill as a politicinn have suggested that it would be a master stroko if he should ) to the national convention and put Mr. Cleveland in nomination. The sen- ator is capable of almost anything in the line of political chicanery and vergivor- sation, but it is hardly conceivable that he could be induced to do this. His hostility to Cleveland is so inveterate and implacable, and is so fully under- stood, that Hill with all his capacity for juggling and false protenses could not bring himself to stand before the 990 delegates of tho natioaal democratic convention and pronounce the words that would put Grover Clevoland in nomination, This would demand a meusure of sell-stultification which even Hill 15 not equal to. It is poassible that he may conciuds bafore the mooting of the convention not to activaly aatag- onize the nomination of the ox-prosi- dent, but this not probable, Nor would it be to the advantage of Cleve- land to get the nomiaution under such conditions, since it would imply a bar- gain with Hill and Tammany, ‘There can be but one conclusion from the situntion as it now stunds, and that is that Hill intends to defeat the nomi nation of Cleveland if he can doso 1o ordoer to accomplish this he must make a combination with some other one of the possible candidates. It is said that just now he is playing with Patmer, and that somo of his friends are talking of a ticket with the Iilinois senator at the head and Governor Ilussell of Massa- chusetts in second place. It is also said that the second choice of soma of the Hill men is Gray of Indiana, of others Senator (rice of Ohio, while som> are favorabls to Boies. Thesa various re- ports show that Mr. Hill has not yet made up his mind whore to throw his influgnce, but it also indicates that the matter is recoiving serious congidera- tion from himself and his friends It was thought for a time that Senator rman had a cortainty of the Hill sup- port in the event of the latter puliing out of the race, but the Maryland candi- date has developed strong Cleveland tendonecies. The one thing will continue to assured is, that Hill the cod to antagonize THE OMAHA Cleveland, bocause nothing to gain by doing otherwise. Can he hold his followers under such control as will en- able him to exert an effective influenco in pehalf of any other candidate? Will he be able to doliver tha Now Yok dol- egation to a candidat of that the nomination of obviously he hs outside state? It is somowhat doubtful, and yet every man in that delagation is prac- tically pledzed to oppose to the last the Cleveland nomination of Grover PROGRESS OF IRRIGATION. The interest manifested by the coun- try at large upon the subject of irrign- tion and tho ox periments in progress throughout the country by states, dis- tricts, individuals and the general go arnment are rapidly solving the groat problem of utilizing our arid lands Statesmen are endoavoring to devise a plan whareby the work may ba under- taken upon a scale of magaituds com- mensurate with its importance. Thus far no crystallization of logislative opin- ion has boen reached. The western states and torritories have informally assented to a plan which shall give thom control of the arid lands within their boundaries. it may ba said, how- ever, that this is still a crude sentiment with many difficulties in the way of har- monizing the diverse views entertained by the people of the communities di- roectly interested. The i1mmense ex- penditure involved in the idea of having the national government develop the lands stands as a bar to the prospocts of early logisiation upon that line, The Amorican psople are equal to the solution of gigantic probloms, however, and, though it may take timo, eventu- ally this one will be simplified and the best results possible will bo finally at- tained. Special Agont Hinton, who has been for two years at woek investi- gating the question of irrigation, will shortly issus his report. It is volum- inous and exhaustive, and promises to be a ition to the litera- ture of irrigation, as well as a basis for future action. Mr. IHinton’s duties were confined to investigating condi- tions, and he may not make any specific recommendations, but owing to an an- tagonism of long standin g hetween him- solf and Major Poweli of the geologic survey it is quite likely the report will favor tho idea of ceding the lands to tho states, innsmuch as this plan is opposed by the latter official. Mr. Hinton finds that more land than uable contr is now under cultivation in the entire country licsin whatis known as the arid regious. In the last seven yours the area of irrigated land has increasod y 3,500,000 acres. By the opening of the World’s fair the United States will be culiivating at least 17,000,000 acros that within a decade has been declaved by learnea authority to be wholly irre- claimable. Under projected works par- tially constructed 5,000,000 acres more are soon to be reclaimed. The discov- an water in many localities is aiding tho reclamation of vast areas. The eva of development for the arid rious is approaching. MARING A GRAIN MARKET. Although our Board of Trade has la- bored under great embarrassment, grat- ifying progress has been made within the past year toward making Omaha the grain market for this section. Within eighteen months successive steps forward have been taken. The legislature was induced after a bitter contest to enact intoa law the measure known as the warchouse bill prepared under the divection and supor- vision of the secretary of the Board of Trade. The board devoted some time to securing the success of the measure and when it finally went into effect the board took another long step. It ad- mitted the grain men into the organiza- tion with special privileges, and mem- bers of tho board of directors generously resigned to make places for the new elo- ment. The grain buyers and operators were next induced to take offices in the Chamber of Commerce building where the business is now concertrated. The open board followed. This was not an unqualified success, Lut it is not hope- less and the call will be resumed within ashorttime. Tho headquarters of the n department has been established in this city and here the chief inspector and necessary welghmasters have offices. Nebraska grades of grain hayve boen adopted and Nebraska inspectign has been accepted in eastern markets. A public warchouse has been opened and the beginnings of large transactions in grain realized. A State Grain Men’s ociation was recently organized in this city with a view to combine the in- torosts of huyers and shippers. The warehouse law went into effect August 1, 1891, The developments in the dircetion of n grain market were alt depondent upon that moisuse, Conse- quently it has been less than nine months since the enterpriso could take definite shape. We should feol reasonably satis- fied with the progross made, espedially in view of the obstacles in the way. Tho boginuing of the last year saw Nebraska almost prostrate from crop failuves. Money has been hard to get .and eater- prise has not yet vecovered from tho misfortunes of the preceding years. For those und other rewsons lurge wave- houses, malt houses and mills have not boen built, though now there are capi- walists turning their attention to these investments with inquiry and interest, There is, however, ono serious obstruc- tion which must be removed bsfore an- other step forward can bo undertaken. Only one railway centering hero con- ceaes this city a milling-in-transit rate, S0 long as this continues intevior ship pers are forced by the diserimination in favor of eastern mariets to ship through. This milliug-in-transit vate is now the key to the situation. When that is con- ceded by ull the lines passing through Omaha thera is 00 excuse loft for capi- tal and eaterprise to remain apart upon tha proposition of building a grain market in Omaha, REPUBLICANS who desire to see this district and state represented by men who are for Harrison without an if oran and or but should vote for men at the primary election known to be in uc cord with their eentiment.

Domocratic Revolt Against Hill, Frederick R, Coudert in April Forum, The doemocrats who assembled at the recent meeting in the Cooper Union were brought togethor to protect the common right of democratic eitizons by insisting that forms should not bo used to stranglo sub- stance. Tu the language of tho potice, “a convention selected n midwinter, upon so short a call, cannot ho fairly and truly ro- presentative of tho democratic sentiment of tho state, and would inevitably devar tho mass of the damoeratic voters of the state of New York from the voice which they are justly entitled to in the selection of the democratic candidates for president and vice vresident and the framing of the party's platform.” * * * Just remonstrances de- sorve something more than ebulitions of tempor in reply.
