Avel ditse Lie 28,450 i GEORGE B, TZSCHUCK Sworn to before me and subscribed in prosence this 10th day of April, OKLAHOMA now has a population of 100,000, She will soon be ready for ad- mission into the union. WHETHER Americans have secured 5an Domingo for 33,500,000 or not still remains un open question. INASMUCH a8 the present Chinese re- striction law continues in force until 1894, further legislation upon this sub- joct is not necessary at present. Pac ThaT M fic concession in souri grain rates answers nicely asan entering wedge W combine o th which to split the railroad rainst Omaha if nothing more. EXeCcuTIve interference could have lad nothing to do with the vote upon the Bland bill in the lower house at the present session. How does Senator Tel- ler oxplain the fact that only eleven re- publicans favored that measure? THE people are not somuch interested in showing which got the worst of it in the Shrenpfort-Dee melee on a street car Wednesday as in having a good reason given why Deputy Assessor Ehrenpfort is furnished with a street car pass. SENATOR TELLER probably feels bet- ter now that he has rid himself of his free silver bile by an attack upon the president. The two senators from Col- orado have not made many frionds either for freo silver or for themselves by their recent utterances. - THE convention 1o nominate twoe del- gates and two alternates to the national convention will be held in this city on Saturd The very important duty will devolve upon this convention to take the initlal steps of the congressional campaign by selecting an efficiont con- gressional committee, — THE recent burglaries and attempts at safe-brenking in the city point almost conclusively to the fact that a gang of desnerate thieves is working the c and should stimulate the police depart- ment to increased activity. Meantime individual house owners should be pre- pared to give thieves a warm recoption. — THE compartment. car, which has so long been the admiration of tho English traveler, is doomed. The American up- holstercd day coach, sleeping car and parlor car aro to supplant the stully compartments. This change will bo brought uhout more for public safety than for public convenience. A BUREAU of immigrs beon organized this week can make it- self useful to Nebraska in directing in vestors and settlers to the stato, Thero aremillions of uncultivated, fortile acros awaiting settlers, and the right sort of immigrants are neoded. Noebraska should have a population of 2,000,000 at the next consus, IN two instances South Omaha police- men shooting at escaping prisoners have injured fnnocent parties. It is sug- gested that these minions of the munic- ipality bo disarmed or given practice at targets. It ls embarrassing to be shot by a policeman under any and all cumstances and especiaily so when the officer is bent upon hitting somebody elso. ——— Mony: than five y have passed since the city hall enterprise was under- taken. It has been tedious from the original trade with William A. Paxton to the nward of the lighting fixtures. The end is approaching slowly, however, and the next meoting of the city council will be Lield in the magnificent chambor provided for that body. By midsummor it is oxpected the final finishing touches will be put upon the building and then the people will heave a deep sigh of relief. E— THE petty appesl cases from the po- lico court are to bo tried in district court without unnecessary dolay here- after. This is a reform which will be welcome. Under the old mothod police court cases are appealed chiofly for the sake of the delay, in the hope that when callea for trial the prosccuting witnesses may be unavailable. In many cases this result is thus achieved. Under the new ordor police court appeals will be heard in the district court as soon as possible and generally within a month after trial, The eftect of this will probably be to re- duce their number and save expense to the county, | SPEAKING OUT FOR HONEST MONEY. Al the republican’ state conventions held so far have spoken in plain and un- equivocal terms for honest money. In- diana was the first to speak, the repub- lican platform of that state declaring: ““We are in favor of honest money, of a dollar that, whether it bo of gold or sil- ver or paper, shall be of like value in the payment of debts.” There can bo no mistake as to the meaning of this. 1t shows that the republicans of Indiana are in favor of a sound currency, every dollar of which, 1n the language of Pr ident Harrison, shall be as good as ever other dollar. The republicansef Rhode Island wore less terse and direct in their utterance, but they left no doubt as to their sentiments. They declared that the adoption of the propusition, sap- ported by a controlling majority of the democratic party, *'to open the mints of the United States to the free coinage of silver would, in the absence of interna- tional agreement for the monetary res- toration of silver, result in a disastrous derangement of our currency. unsettle amd destroy businoss confidence, insid- iously but suraly depreciate the value of the carnings and savings of labor, and unjustly dimjnish the purchasing power of money paid by a grateful government to its pensioners.” The currency plank of the Towa repub- lican platform is a model of brevity wnd clenrness. It reads: **We appeal to re- publicans in all parts of the state to unite on the platform of national repub- lieanism and the maintenance of asound currency, every dollar of which shall be tho equal of every other dollar.” The republicans of Michigan endorsed the currefoy plank of the national platform of 1888, and the party in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania pronounced in unmis- takable language against the free cotn- age of silver. Thess expressions of v publican conventions east and west wil undoubtedly be emulnted by the conven- tions of the party yet to be held in the northern states, with the possible ex- ceptions of Coloradoand Nevad it is safe to predict that the national convention will be practicaily unanimous in favor of maintaining the prosent cur- v policy of the country, and that there will be no departuro from the well defined position of the republican party on this important issue. It is to be expected that delegates from the silver states, and possibly from some of the southern states, will make an effort to lead the party away from its sound and safoe attitude regarding silver, but the failura of any such effort is already nssured, and nothing is more certain than that the national vepub- lican platform will unequivocally de- clare against the free coinage of silver under existing counditions and in the ab- sence of an international agreement, and in favor of continuing the policy which has given the country a stable and safe currency. every dollar of which is equal in purchasing power to every other dollar. CONGRESS FAULT. Judge Ve merce commission statos that the in- formation regarding violations of tho state commerce act recently made AT of the Interstate Com- public by the Chicago Tibune has been in possession of the commission for veral months with much more of a like charactor, and that all practicable means have been adopted to periect the cases for prosecution of the guilty porties. The district attorneys, whose duty it is to prosecute violations of the law, are hampered by the decision of the supreme court in the Counselman case, under the principlo of which wit- nesses most necessary to the prosecution may shield themselves. Judge Veazoy says that without somo modification of the law by which par- ticipants in offonsos may be com to testify, either beforo grand juries or trial juries, and without some more adequ:.to machiner; now exists for securing, preliminary to the institution of criminal proccedings, information necessary to their succossful prosecu- tion, enforeement of tho interstate com- merco law is a duty often dificult of performance. The principles of the Counselman decision render imperativo such a modification of the present lawus wiil compel participants in its violation to testify concorning the same. It thus appears that tho Interstate Commerce commission has been doing all it could do in obtaining information and perfecting cases for prosecution, and that it has not done more is the fault of congress. A bill to enuble the commission to sceure all necessary testi mony has been for somo time pending beforo the proper committees of con- gress, and there appears 10 be no good veason for dolaying nction unon them. The representatives of the people in congress must know that the law is bo- ing constantly violated, and they ought to understand that the longor this state of things is permitted to continue the it will become and the greater will be the dificulty of remody- ing it. While popular regard for the principlo of the interstate commerce act is perhaps as strong now as it has ever been, it is not to be doubted that there has boen a loss of confidence in the law itsolf. A member of tbe com- mission suid vecontly that it is import- ant that the people themselves learn to respect the law und that it is the duty of the press to toach them to do this as essontial 1o the enforcement of the inw; but manifestiy this is a most difficult task in view of vhe fact that those em- powered toenforce the law themselves confess that without additional legisla- tion it cannot be made effective. The upparent indifference of congress to this important matter suggests that the in- fluence of the railroads in that body is strongoer than the demand of the public interosts. — THE MANUFACTURERS' EXPOSITION, June 11 the manufacturors’ exposition will bo openod in the Coliseum building on North Twentioth sireet. The Man- ufacturers and Consumers association, under whoso auspices the exhibit will | be made, is greatly gratified at the in- | tevest already manifosted in the enter- prise, and the members of that or- ganization are cnthusiastic over the | event. Ata meeting of the committes I on buildings and space, the exhibitors | who have already nade application were assignod places in the Coliseum building. It is found that eighty-seven - exhibits are already cupying about seven guarantool, oo- ighths of the | space available and represonting nearly every important line of manufacturing enterprise in Nebraska. ‘While this promise for the exhibit 1s most satisfactory, there should be no limit to the number and character of the displays made by Nebraska manu- facturers oxcept tho capacity of the building. 1t is the first exclusive show- ing of Nebraska manufactures ever held in the state. It will be a revela tion to Nebraska people. Few of them have any idea of the magnitude and im- portance of our home industries. Every member of the Manufacturors and Con- sumers’ association should be on hand with a display of his product. and whoro practicable, of the processes by which it is produced. The press of the state is again invited to call special attention to the coming exhibit and % exhort local manufacturers to ipate in it THEsugar trast has reduced the price of the raw material, of which it has the practical control, and advanced the price of refined sugars, thus making both the producers of Cuba and the West Indies and the consumers of the United States contribute to its profits. The consumntion of sugar in this coun- try in 1801 was 1,885,094 tons, and it is estimated that for the present year it will not be less than 2,000,000 tons. On the basis of last year’s moltings the pa- duction made on the raw material would inerease the profits of the trust $10,500,- 000, and the advance already made in re- fined sugars would yield $16,800,000, mak- ing together over 327,000,000, or about 33 per cent on the capital of the trust. It is by no means certain, howover, that the monopoly will be satisfied with this, and it is hardly to be expected that it will be if it is permitted to make further oxactions, Itisua matter of no conse- quenco to the American consumer how much it reduces the price of the im- ported raw material, but if it is the policy of the monopoly, as seems to be the case, to at the same time advance the price of the refined articlo there is danger that the people will be deprived of most of the benefit intended by the logislation of the last congress regard- ing sugar. There are two ways in which the people may defend themselves against the exactions of the trust. One 18 by bringing the taw to bear upon it and the other is to repeal the duty on refined sugars. The government should vromptly try the former,and if that shall not be found effective then re- cor rge should be had to the latter rem- ious monopoly must not ct unchallenged tribute from every household 1n the land. THERE appears to be foundation for the statement that this government has received irom the British government definite proposition for an international monetary conference. When Secratary Foster was questioned a few days ago regarding the matter he replied that it had not reached a stage that permitted him to say anything for the public, but subsequent inquiry has elicited the fact that correspondence has been carried on for some time between the secretary of the treasury and the chancellor of the exchequer, and the promise is highly favorable for the proposed conference. It is understood that the proposition of the British government has, no refer- ence to the [ree coinage of silver, bullion parchases or bimetallism, but states as the object of the conference the suggos- tion of a mode for the extension of the use of silver as a money metal. The other subjects, however, may bo consid- ered by the conference, and it is to be presumed that this governmont will urge the expedicncy of cxtending the deliberations of the conference so as to include the other questions, since an in- ternational discussion of the mere propo- sition to enlarge the use of silver asa money metal would be very unsatisfac- tory. The administration has shown commendable zeal in endeavoring to bring about an international conference arding silver, and it is gratifving to know that there is favorable promise of 2 Indiana demecratic state conven- tion was for Cleveland, but it was shown that ex-Governor Gray hasa very strong following, and in the ovent of its being found when the Chicago convention meets that the ex-president cannot be nominated, or that it would be inex- pedient to nominate him, it is under- stood that the Indiana delegation will be unanimous for G Before the meeting of the state convention an arrangement of this kind was agreed upon botweon the Cleveland and Gray factions in the interest of harmony, so that the name of the latter will be pre- santed to the national convention, with the assurrnce that he is the second choice of the democracy of Indlana. In view of the fact that a very vigorous fight has been made upon the candidacy of Gray and that his friends had noen- couragement from the outside, the ex- hibition of strength he made is highly creditable to him. It is interesting to noto that tho candidacy of Senator Hill received no attention from the Indiana democrats, und he secms to have had no friend bold enough to even mention his name, Yet Hill has shown a frienaly concern for the democracy of Indiana, while Cleveland was notoriously uniind, even to the extent of discourtesy, toward one of the greatest leaders of the party in that state, Mr, Hendricks, and is un derstood to have very little respect for Mr. Gray. Se— THE two kidnapers of Kunsas City who stole Banker Beals’ 2-year-old child lust winter have been sentenced to the penitentiary. The woman gets two years and the man four. Mr. Beals persist- ently refused to prosecute, but the kid- nupers confessed their guilt and begged the mercy of the court. Their pleas appear not to have been unavailing, for their sentences are certainly moderate, considering all the circumstances. — KANSAS democrats are accomplished straddlers.

Wyoming Derriék: The capture of tha murdering gang of stockmen by the authoe- ities near Butfalo is a signal of triunph for the civil authoritics. It demonstrates that the people of Wyopung catnot be run over by any set of men; that terrorism and vig lantes are to be things of tho past. Philadelphia Ledger: The acting governor of Wyoming has a grave responsibility put upon” him by these cvents, for he must en- deavor to enforce the laws in a coungy or counties where the cattle thieves appear to ve in control, Now that the issue has been forced, law and justico must rule, or the state will suffer. Denver Nows : The “rustlers” of Wyoming, meaning by the term persons who were for- merly empioyed by the big cattle companies and are now in busiuess for themselves, con- stitute vut a sprinkling of the rural popula- tion, and the majority of them are morally as good as ecither the members of the big com- panies or their agents. Rawlins Journal: Governor Barber sub- jects himself to merited criticism for permit- ting the stock association to import an armed force to invade the state and murder our citizens, A littlo backbone would have done much toward preventing the present state of affairs now existing in Johnson county, besides saving several lives. Louisville Courier-Journal: The “rustlers" and the stockmen seem to be having a kind of John Brown war of extermmation in the new republican state of Wyoming.
