General G o News, Methodists throughout tl e country may be assured that the reports of tne proceedings of the general conference of the Methodist Tpiscopal church to bo puvlished in Tie Bee will bo accurate, fair and interesting. Wo shall devote all tho space necessary to muking complete daily reports of the ses- sions of this great meeting of ono of the greatest of protestant churches, Our staff assigned espocially to the duty of reporting the conference is thoroughly informed upon Mothodism and selected with particular rot- erence to preparing accounts of the delibera- tions* for Methodist readers. Persons in other parts of the union interested in the general couference will find it to their ad- vantage to subscribe for Tie Bee during the month of May. M.

He is now very busy explaining that he is still a republican and will remain one, free coinage or no {ree coinag Now that the Izard building is practically abandoned as a graded school, the Board of Education should consider the advisability of converting it into a manual training school. OrEGON holds her election on the day preceding the national convention. The returns will be received 1n timo to fill the thousunds of representative repub- licans at Minneapolis with the wildest enthusiasm, IN THE absence of the most garrulous member of the Board of County Com- missioners that deliberative branch of our local government should improve the opportunity to transact a great deal of important business. THE county commissionors are exas- poratingly deliberate about passing upon the Nebraska Central bond propo- sition. If any work is done upon this entorprise the prosent senson the bond election must be called as soon as pos- sible. RHODE ISLAND is still voting. Provi- dence has tried twice to clect a legisla- tive delegation and has failed. She is still nine representatives short of her full number. Rhode Island necds a new constitution which will enable a plural- ity of votes to elect, SPEAKER CRISP does not always hold his temper, but he is ordinarily compe- tent to hold his tongue, which is worth a good deal to a presiding officer with a brainy minority nagging him con- stantly. My, Crisp is entitled to public sympathy, for his position is not al ways agrecuble. ATTORNEYS at law and court ollicers should unite in a reform which shall give legal notices proper publicity. This biding them from public view in obscure sheots for the sake either of the com- mission paid by tho publisher or to pre- vent partios in interest from receiving proper notico is all wrong. —e I'REE coinage is a vevitable night- mare to the democracy. The south threatens trouble 1f it stays out of the national platform and the east if it goos fn, It is fair to assume, however, that tho question will be straddled so cam- paigners can talk for free coinage in one state and agaivst it in another, and the south will continue solid. WHEN a convention passesa resolu. tion declaring that an aspirving states- man is second choice for uny oflice, it means simply that the aspiring states- man’s tomporature 18 very high and he must be cooled off gradually to pnevent absolute collapse. Ex-Governor Gray is the second choice of Indiuna demo- crats for the presidential nomination. SINCE it has been finally determined that the Central school shall be erected on the Johnson site, the Bourd of Edu- cation should petition the council for spocial regulations governing the move- ments of motor cars on Dodge street. The motor line between the proposed school and the play ground of the pupils will be a constant moenace to the lives and limbs of the little ones unless extra precautions are taken against danger. —_— Jonn J. INGALLS proposes to re- enter uctive politics in Kansas. He will stand on the shoulders of D. R. Anthony of the Leavenworth T¥mes and leap therelrom into the arena as candidate fur congrommun-at-large from the Sun- flawer state, 1o will probably be greeted with & choorful wolcomo by the repub Jlesws. With all his faults, Ingalls’ sl wbility nod hinspoctaculae methods i disphuying It muke Kansas people vory proud ol him LOOKING BACKWARD AND FORW That the republican party is in grave peril in Nebraska in the impending cam- paign is patent to everybody familiar with the situation. Tt wili take the most consummate generalship and splendid | fighting all along the line to carry the stato even by a bave plurality. True a | great victory was won in the election of Judge Post last fall, but the conditions very much more favorable than they will be this ye: Post is an able lawyer anda had on the district bench for yoars, attorney who did not inspire popular confidence. A lnrge body of democrats refused to lower the standacd of our jus dicinry and aisg the state by voting for dgerton and a large body of alli- ance farmers stayed at home because they Edgerton’s election a foregone conclusion. Looking backward ovor the battleficld of 1801 we find that the republicans en- tered the campaign disheartened and well nigh hopeless. Their old leaders were either not avail wore been cousidered and wheel horses plo or hiding: in Thurston did not daroe to show himself at a farmers’ meeting. Webster had loaded down the party with a boomerang plank in its platform, and kept out of sight for fear of repelling democratic voters which were needed to make Post’s election sure. Manderson viewed the battle from afar, and Pad- dock seemed puralyzed at the dismal outlook. Richards, the plumed chioftain of the ghost dancers, was ‘‘marking time” at his desk on foreclosed mort- gages und chipping railroad bond cou- pons. How will it be in 18 How can the party hope to restove confidence and bring back into its ranks any consider- able number of the dissatisfied vepubli- can farmers through the flowery and brilliant speeches of silver tongued ora- tors who are on the railroad pay roll? Would any appeal made by politicians who have not been in touch with the people and are distrustod by the pro- ducers have any effect upon tho masses? Can we hope to effect any mater change among ex-republican members of the aliiance through editors and papers that have for years drawn their inspiration from railrond head- quarters or through campaign literature gottenup in the east where the causes of discontent among our farmers are not understood and the remedies proposed do not cover the grievances and abuscs that have caused tie revoltin Nebr: How many votes hus the by the unprovoked and indefer warfare which Richards and his 1 ors-on have been waging for the last four months? Can any of these and all of them com- bined save the party from disaster this fall, unless the ranks are closed and the republican phalanx is marshaled by tried and true leaders who are free from the taint of corruption and enjoy the contidence of the people, coupled with the backing of newspapers that cham- pion republican prineipl, and canaidates, not for pay or promis reward, but because they want to pro- moto good government and perpetuats republican institutions? Such leaders and such papers are not very numerous in our state and party. It is the first step [Prench maxim that will apply forcibly to the situation in Nebraska, Much depends upon the initial stop in the cam- paign of 1892 which will be taken today. The state convention which assembles at Kearney today will apparently be harmonious because of the predominance of the corporation element which en- counters no difficulty in capturing con- ventions since the faction opposed to corporation rule has been reduced in numbers by the alliance movement. But such harmony bodes no good to the party, which can only hope to regain supremacy in the state by recruiting s ranks from the men who toil in the workshop and on the farm. Let repub- licans assembled at Kearney bear in mind that their action will determina largely whether the party is to ma victory this fu that costs, 1s a NATIONAL BANK LEGISLATION. The house of represor passed u bill to promote the tional banks, Its purpose w the tendency to large lonns by national banks to theiv officers, which has been shown to have been the cause of most of the heavy bank failures. The measure provides that no bank shall make a loan to any of its officers until it has been ap- proved by the board of divectors or the executive committee of the board, and such approval is to be formally recoraed. Loans of this class sre to be scpurately reported when reports of the condition of tho bunlk are called for by the comp- troller of the cuarrency. 'The bill also prohibited apy bank oflicer from over- drawing his aceount. The measure was passed by the senato with two amendments, one requiring the comptrolier of the currency to pre- seribe a form of bond to be used by all national bunks to secure the fidelity of cashiers and ull other ofiicers of whom bonds are required and the other pro- viding for the issue of circulating notes to the par value of the bonds deposited as security instend of to only 90 per cent of the par value. If the bunks were ailowed to do this it woula enable them to make u consider- le addition to the circulating medium, but owing to the strong opposition to the national banlks in the house of repro- sontutives there is not much probability that the senate amendments will be con- curred in, notwithstanding tho fact that nearly all of those who are hostile to the banks are clamorous for an Incrense of virculation. The faet that the banks would gain something from the ad- ditional issue of notes is suflicient to duce the enemies of those institations to vote against the proposed legislation, regardless of the benefit the public might derive from the additional legislation, The probubility, therefore, is that the bill will become a law without the pro- vision for increased cireulation. There will be no legislation by the present congress hostile to the national banks, but there is a strong sentiment in the house favorable to a repeal of the tax which provents the issue of cireu- lating notes by state banks. A large number of dewocrats believe that the old system of state bank currency ought ives recontly afoty of na- s to st Iidgerton is a briefloss | THE OMAHA DAILY BEEr#® EDNESDAY, APRIL 27 to be restored, and it is not to be doubted that if that party had the power it would promptly provide for a return to the currency system which obwained before the war, when the paper money of one state was at a discount in everv other stato and tho value of much of itat | home was not cortain from one day to an- other. The bill to promote the safety of national banks is a proper and neces- y measure, and rather than it should il tho senate will be wise to yield in | the matter of its amendment regarding has the tho additional issuo of notes, which no relovancy to the purpose of measure. TER BE TRUSTED? John M. Thurston has written a letter warmly endorsing the candidacy of Mr. Webster. John M. Thurston is a pro- nounced anti-Harrison man. Would he endorse Webstor if he believed him to be a staunch and uncompromising friend of Harrison who would stand by him in the face of tremendous pressure or a stampede? Mr. Webstor has a griovance against Tarvison just as Thurston has o griev- ance vinst Harrison. Mr. Webster has high aspirations which have not been favorably responded to by the president. He wanted to be United States circuit judge, United States su- preme judge and lastly secretary of war. Ho was not appointed and very natur- ally fecls like any other disappointed secker after office. Can aman in such a frame of mind be dependod on in the critical hour, even if he comes to the convention with pledges and instrue- tions? We are aware that a very consider- able number of politicians in this state, including men holding important federal officos, are masquerading as Harrison men, when at heart they want to see him done up at Minneapolis. These men will doubtless join I'hurston in backing Webster with the mental reservation that if opportunity offers Webster would bolt Harrison for a dark horse. The only safety for true blue Harrison republicans in the convention lies in supporting candidates who do not need to be pledged o instructed. Tt is never safe to risk defoat by trusting to luke- warm friends or men who pledgo them- sclves against their natural inclina- tions. Mr. Webstor hus had the hearty sup- portof ThHr B whenever his name was presented for a federal appointment. But the very fact that he has become the politicul legntee of un avowed op- ponent of President Harrison impels us to suspect and question his reliability as a Harrison delegate. CAN WER, THE APPROACHING CONFERENCE. The board of bishovs of the Metho- dist Episcopal chureh, eighteen in num- ber, will for the next month make Omaha their home. The first great gathering of the general conference will beheld on Sunday. Monday morning the legislative busipess will begin and for four weeks all the eyes of Methodism with its millions of adhergnts will be fixed upon Omaha. The full importance of the gr rennial meeting of this ligious denomination is by Omaha people. “Fally 25,000,000 of the inhabitants of this carth are swayed in their religious thought by the doc- trines expounded in the first instance hy John Wes It is worth something to a young and ambitious city like Omaha to be for thirty days the cynosure of Wesleyanism. Aside from the fact that we shall have in our midst the most dis- tinguished clergymen and laymen of the denomination wo shall profit through years to come from the knowledge of our greographical and commercial situation which will be disseminated through the hundreds of publications issued under the auspices of the church and in subse- quent sermons and addresses of the par- ticipants in the conference. There is something more for us to do, however, than merely accept those i cidental benefits, It should be the per- sonal business of every citizen of Omaha to assist in making tho visit of these nen thoroughly enjoyable, At opportunity, courtesies should bo ended them such as one naturally hes to show Lo friends and acquaint- ances visiting the city for the fivst time. Special invitations to participate in public meetings and private social gatherings should be bestowed wherever such proper, and frequ nt drives about the city in private carriages should not be overlooked. Let evory citizen, small or great, sink denomina- tional prejudices, if any exist, and place himself 1n the attitude of gracious host to all these good people collectively and to any he may meet individually, We must. show our guests that they are royally welcome. We have invited them to come among us and we propose that they shall romembsr their sojourn in Omaha as both pleasurable and profita- ole. At quad- progressive re- are TIHE POLICY THAT WORRIES THEM. The demoeratic purty is sorely wor- ried over the success of the reciprocity policy. Out of the mouths of its leaders and in the platforms of its conventions it tries hard to disparage that great plun of the republican party for extend- ing American comme: Senator David B. Hill pronounced it a sham and humbug and his snap convention adopted his idea. Mr, Cleveland in his addreas to the Rhode [slunil democrats referred to it flippantly as if it were an expedient from which nothing of value was to be expected. In congress demo- ratic hostility to the policy has been distinetly manifested. The Indiana demoerats, who wildly endorsed the ndidacy of Cleveland, condemned reciprocily as ‘‘a transparent attemp: to impose upon the American people the shadow of commercial freedom for its substance.” The conclusive und overwhelming aunswer to all such denunciation is Lo be found in the statistics of incroased trado with the countries having reciprocity arvangements with the United States. The figures of our exports to Brazil under the new commercial arrange- ment show a large gain, and there are valid reasons in the political conditions that have prevailed in that country, ex erting a depressing influence upon com- merco, and the tremendous opposition that has been munifested there to reci- procity on the partof the representatives uropean capithlists and manufo turers, why the growth of our trade has not beon greatere , The statistics of our exports to CubWiéhow ah immense in- , this courtr§ having taken prac- the ent flour trade of that sland, which uniifnow was in the hands of Spanish millorsy who were protected in its possession by a prohibitory tarifl. Thero is not a d§untry with which re- ciprocity has been megotiated that isnot buying more Ameéttean goods than over before. Nor is {his all the advant that has been soeured through this re- publican plan for the extension of Amer- iran commerce. [t aided materially in opening the markets of Germany i France to our pork products, and in in- ducing those nations to accord more favorable considerstion to other Amer- icin products than they have given hefore in many ye The clause in the tariff bill providing for reviprocity played no small part in enabling our ministers at Berlin and Paris to convince the Buropean statesmen of the expedi- ency of adopting a more liberai com- mercial policy toward the United States, and one of those ministers, Mr. Reid, recently said in a public address that the effect has been to create a strong sentiment in I'rance favorable to a broad and comprehensive reciprocity arrangement with this country. The republican party originated this policy and carried it tosuccess. The inte! ent judgment of the country ap- proves it, and the commercial world ac- knowledges its wisdom, It contemplates the domination by the United States of the commerce of the western homi- sphere, and this is assured if the policy is adhered to. With the attainment of this the United States will be by far the greatest commercial power of the world, Itisa magnificent promise that reci- proeity holds our, and no amount of democratic denunciation and disp ment will induce the American people to permit its abundonment. Its safe and permanent success will be most cer tainly secured by continuing the repub- lican party in control of the govern- ment. go ro- “AFTER US THE DELLU The pig-headed and smali-bore poli- ticians who are trying to assumo loader- ship of the republican party of this stato are trying to make Richards out to bigger man thun Harrison. { ison carricd Nebraska by over 25,000 majority. In 1890 Richards was third in the race for governor and failed by over 3,000 to have even a plu- rality.

With the vindietive ghost dancers su- premacy in 1892 15 bocondary to personal spite and Richards himsolf wants to pose as a vietim anda’'martyre, whenin fact he should be held responsible for the d astor that overtook the party in 1890, just as he and” his Pharisee foilowers will be responsible if the party goes to pieces this fall. But what does Rich- ards ecare! With! him it is simply “After us the delugol” SENATOR QUAY savs the national bat- tle of 1884 was a contest of personali whereas the campaign of 1888 was pre- eminently one of 1ssues rather than ot candidates, He says the contest of this year will again be conducted upon pr ciple rather than personality. This i demonstrated, he observes, in advance of the conventions by the varying pros- peets of at least two of the aspirants for the democratic nomination, which rise and iall as the financial issue promises to become more or less prominent in the platform of that purty. The republican candidate, says Mr. Quay, will repre- sent a definite industrial policy already framed in law, and a currency of stublo value in domestic and foreign transact- ions, The Pennsylvanin senator is of the opinion that voters ought always to base their choice of parties upon plat- forms rather than upon candidates, a proposition as to which views may hon- estly differ. The position of Mr. Quay regarding a republican candidate this year is well known, He does not favor the renomination of President Harrison. But heis still a republican, and the in- ference to he drawn from what he say is that ho is hopeful of republican suc- cess, whether Harrison or another shall be the candidate, because the policios of the party deserve to w nilict between tho Sherman and [foraker factions of thoe Ohio republicans has been sharply waged in the selection of district dele- gates to Minneapolis and delegates to the state conventions, which meots at Cleveland today.

If that is his purpose he is very hikely to be thwarted, for the Harrison sentiment among Oliio republicans is strosgly in the ascendant. A very hot fight Botweoen the factions is expected in thesstate convention, but whatever the outcome tho conflict will not afleet the result in November. The republicans of Ohiowill be united on the candidate of the N!‘Jmunpulis convention, Nor a single negro appears to have been killed in the late Louisiana elec- tion. This goes a long way toward ex- plaining why the republicans were de- feated. The negroes have learned thut their lives are sufe so long as they voto the democratic ticket. — DAN M, NerrL N of Clay county is enjoying some prominence just now as a possiblo republican ecandidate for con- gress in his disteict.

In the interosts of good government the stockmen must be tried in the county where their joint crimes were committed. The army has brought the prisoners to Cheyenne. The Johnson county people are demand- ing that they shall be sent back for trial. The state of the public mind in Johnson county makes it hardly pr ticable to give the persons a fair trial there. The governor does not seo his way out of the difficulty. Asa feelor on the subject he has written a somewhat noncommittal letter to the prosecuting sttorney.
