We shall devote all the space necessary to muking complete dnily reports of tho ses- sions of this great meoting of one of the groatest of protostant churches. Our staft igned cspecially to the duty of reporting the conference is thoroughly informed :pon Mothodism and selectod with particular ref- erence to preparing accounts of the delibera- tions for Methodist readors. Persons in other parts of the union interested in the genoral conference will find it to their ad- vantago to subseribe for Tie: Ber during the month of May. s News. eral Confe EBRASKA will furnish a good deal of ‘Websterian oratory in the next national convention. SOUTH OMAIIA can greatly improve her reputation as ulaw abiding com- munity by suppressing prize-fighting. THERE is now reason to hove that the ordinances calling for bond elections will be passed this week. Certainly no further excuso for delay can be found. COoLORADO will feel very lonesome at Minneapolis with a delegation headed Ty Senators Tetlor and Wolcott, who are opposed to the renomination of Har- rison. EFFORTS to increase the efliciency of tho interstate commerce law can be only measuroably succossful. The trouble with it is structural weukness and that is irremediable. ProMiscoous shooting on the streets of the city by police and dotectiy e officers must be discontinued. The ofticers are not correct enough in their aim to muko it safe. ONE thing may be depended upon. The mouth of ‘*Colonel” Cunningham R. Scott may be safely counted upon to 1ring its owner into disgrace in any well ordered community or public gathering. MR. BRYAN Younag is an accom- plished straddler. He voted first against seating Noyes and then against soating Rockwell in the Rockwell- Noyes contest case in the house of rep- rosentatives. A COMMISSIONER, to be useful to the new freight bureau, must be a trained trafic man. The ordinary citizen, with good business ability, is wanting in the tochnical knowledge essential to the succossful conduct of the proposed Dbureau. LrriaATiIoN in Douglascounty appears to be on the increase, and 2,525 cases are docketed for the May term. The in- cronse in the number of judges facili- tates the transaction of court business but it does not decrease the number of cases to be tried. — IF ANY citizen imagines that the present congress will pass any goneral logislation of consequence affocting sil- ver, the tariff or the banks he is simply laboring under a delusion. This is a do-nothing congress. It is afraid to attempt any measure of national im- portance lest it should sdversely affect the vote in November. THE parties who desire Douglas street graded down still further should either present their petition for a modi- fied grade or drop the schome entirely and let partios who contomplate im- provements go ahead, The street should by all means be paved this sea- son between Sixteenth and Twentieth and made passable for man and beast. —_— THE solection by the state convention of Colonel E. D, Webstor as delegate-at- large to the national republican conven- tion was a merited compliment to the first editor of the first republican daily In Nebraska Colonel Wobster will be {aitnful to the instructions of the con- vention and President Harrison will bave no more loyal supporter at Minue- apolis. —_— JorN T, CLARKE may as well keep that subway ordinance in his poo ket Omaha does not want to grant a fran- chise for » subway, and last of all to John T, Clarke, who simply expeots to sall out the franchise to any corporation that will pay him the biggest bonus. Wae want to see the wires under ground as s00n as possible, but the city should own the subways and mako the ownors of the telegraph, telophoue and electric line wires pay for their use. o OMAHA NEBRASKA FOR HARRISON The republicans of Nebraska have given an unqualified and enthusiastic endorsement of ’resident Harrison for renomiination. — The state convention has not only endoreed Harrison and instructed the delegates-ut-large to give him their unwavering support, but the convention exacted a pledgo froth each of the delegates to carry out these instructions The practical unanimity with which the convention expressed its approval of President Harrison’s administration and its desire to make him the standard bearer in the impending campaign is a striking proof of his popularity in Ne- braska. Never before has the conven- tion of a political party in this state been 8o nearly unanimous for a presi dertial candidate as was the coavention at Kearney, and the harmony in the party which was thus shown is the best possible augury of success in November. 1t demonstrated that the republicans of Nebraska are fully satisfied with the conduct and policy of the administra- tion, that as to the presidontial candi- date and national issues there are no factional differences, and the effect will personal bo to hold the party together and strengthen it as the campaign pro- grosses, I'he district detegates having been in- structed for Harrison, the delegation from this state to Minneapolis will be a unit for his renomination, and the six- teen votos it will east will represent a republican constitucncy as earnest and loyal in ita support of the - president as any in the nation. THE GRAIN A member of the State Board of Trans- portation exprosses the opinion that it is not possible for trouble to come becauso the grain inspection depart- ments may not be self-sustaining. He cites tha warechouse law, whe in it is provided that there shall be no salary to employes engaged in weighing or inspecting grain unless the fees of tho office pay the same. The ox- cess of fees, if any, is turned into the state trensury, but a shortage in fees ly deprives the employes of the amount not coliceted. He doos not ap- prohend that there is any dangor of a deficiency bill being presented. The gantleman is correct enough so far as ho goes. Tho law is expocted to sustain itself, and the state employe: engaged under its provisions are paid in fees unless the amounts collected exceed the sularies specitied. The trouble is not avoided, however, by this fact. The weighmasters and thewr chief are not expecting to work for nothing. Tf they maintain their establishment they will undoubtedly presentaclaim to the legis- lature for any deficiency which may occur between the salaries specified in the bill and the aggregate of the fees collected. The State Board of Transpor- tation may not approve the claims or may even antagonizo them. Neverthe- less some friendly legislator will be found willing to advoeate their cause, 1s bring the matter before the ture. s hero that tho danger warehouse law is by no means perfect. Its friends hope for important amend- ments in the next legislaturo. oy do not care to bo confronted at the outsot by a deficiency which has grown out of the extravagance of officors appointed by the Board of Transportation to ad ministor the law. The weighing de- partment as it is now running will fall bohind inevitably. The fees during the coming dull season will scarcely pay the salury of a single employe and there will not be work for more than one man. It is not necessary to absorb all the feos of the office. Perhups by economy o small sum can bo turned inty tho treas- ury to the credit of tho Juw, and this would assist its friends in securing fa- vorable consideration for any amend- ments proposed. The stato board should mer lies. The not rest on the theory that if the weigh- mastar and his employes do not collect enough to pay them ordinary wages they must go without remuneration, THE ALLIANCE IN THE SOUTH. A council of the presidents and execu- tive committees of state alliances in the south is to be held at Birmingham, Ala., next week. The stirring call for this meoting suggests that these organiz tions are in peril. It declares that this is the most eritical period in the history of the order. The political contest, it is stated, threatens the destruction of the order, and unless theroe is concert of action this must be the result. *The emergency is groat,” reads the call, and the necessity for full and free council by all executive officors is greater than at any time in the history of tho movement.” The obvions inforence from this"earnest appeal is that the alli- ance in the south is on tho verge of dis- solution and that an extraordinary effort is necessary to save it from going to pieces. The simple explanation is that the moembers of tho southern allianco, nearly all of whom have boen lifelong democrats, ure manifesting a puepose to renounce the new pelitical movement into which the leadors have sought to draw them and to rosume active rela- tions with the old party, This is what is meant by the statement that *‘the po- litical contest threatens the destruction of the order.” The democratic leaders in the south, who had becoms alarmed at the designs of the alliance leaders, which threatened to seriously impair their power and relegate somo of thom to political obsourity, with the possibil- ity of making a breach in the solid | south, have been doing a great deul of quiet but effective work among the rank and file of the alliance membership. Ividently they have been able to con- viuce a very large number that they have far more to expect from the demo- cratic party than from a third political organization, and it is conceivable that this was not a difficult task when old political aftiliazion and sectional feeli wore earnostly appealed to. The very large wajority of southern alliance mem- | bors ure democrats first, and while they | were induced to muke war on their old | party with a view to yomedying local grievances, when a national campuign confronts them thoir votes are at the command of the democracy. Undoubtedly this will be found to be the case in the presidential election of in this year, A show of interest the third party movement will bb kept up in the south with the design ofgiving en- couragement to the movement in the ndrth, but due care will be taken that it shall do the democracy no harm at the ballot box. How much the eall for the Birmingham council represents a real sense of danger to the order it is impos- siblo to say. It is certainly scrious enough in spirit and language. But at any rate it will probably accomplish little of importance. It the southern alliance is disintegrating from the re- turn of its members to active participa- tion in democratic polities the process will not stop, because the movement is prompted by the strongest of motives, the desire to keapthe south solid for the democracy. Monntime whatever influ- ence the southorn alliance leaders can exert to keep alive the third party movement in the republican states of the north wiil not be withheld. Itis quite possible, however, that thoy will discover that members of the alliance in the north who have hitherto acted with the republican party are not disposed to act as catspaws to the democracy. THREAT OF THE SILVER MEN. The convention of the Colorado Freo Silver league adopted a platform which foreshadows the probable action of the national convention of free silver advo- cates, to be held next month, so far as the relations of these peopla to the old political pariies ave concerned. One of the resolutions declares that if the Min- neapolis and Chieago conventions fail to nominate as candidates for president and vico president men with pronounced views as to the free and unlimited coin- age of silver, and upon a platform pledged to that end, it wili become the duty of those who favor that policy to support for president and vice president only candidates of such party as prom- isos the speadiest reinstatement of silver as the money of the nation on an equal- ity with gold. It 1s absolutely certain thut the Min- neapolis convention will not in its candi- dato or its platform show any faver to the free coinage of silver. It cannot b predicted with any degree of certainty what the Chicago convention will do. The expressions on this question of the democratic state conventions so far held show great confusion of views on the subject, and it is certain to be thesource of a hard fight in the national conven- tion. But it is not at all probable that the candidato or the platform of the democracy will distinetly favor free sil- ver. The threat of the silver men will have no influence at Minneapolis and it is not likely to have much at Chicago. There remuins the third party, which, if it nominates u candidate for pr dent, will gelect a man who favors free silver coinage and make a platform that he cau stand upon. This is the only hope of the silver people of Colorado, who proclaim their readiness to desort the old parties if thoy do mnot accord them their demand and give their sup- port to the new political movement with all its inancial absurdities and fantastic economic vagaries. Tho promise may prove an incentivo to the promoters of the third party to put a presidential ticket in the field, although the mov ment has been growing weaker of late and there are evidences of rapid disin- togration. How far the Colorado sontiment ex- tends will bo made apparent by, the action of the national silver convention which meets a month hence, but 1t will not be surprising if that body repeats the threat of the Colorado convention. Iu that event the country will got a full and fair understanding of the extent to which the advocates of free silver coin- age are propared to go in order to carry out their policy. They would subordi- nate every other question and all other interests to this, and rather than make any concession they will lend their countenance and support to doctrines which, if they should prevail, would ve- duce the financial and economie systems of the country to chuos and bring about general disorder. The reckless despera- tion of the silver men has had no paral- lelin the history of the country, and its effect upon the national welfaro of the nation is hurtful both at home and abrond. It keeps alive distrust, which manifests itsolf In the return of Am curities and the export of gold, and in the disposition of capital to re- main on the safe side by keeping out of enterprises and investments which would be affected by a radical change in our finuncial system. 'I'he menunce of free coinage is the chief obstaclo to that general revival of prosperity which ove:y condition favors. can THE diplomatic and consular, bill has been roported to tho house. It proposes to reduce the estimates for this service by over $300000, und to appropriate 2,000 less than last year. A part of the reduction is mado by placing Den- mark, Sweden and Norwsy in one mis- sion; Colombia and Ecuador in another, and Peru and Bolivia in another. This isa fair sumple of the democratic idea of economy. To save the salary of a foreign minister it is proposed to offend Denmark, Just at the time when the pan-American idea is taking. root and our trade relations with South American republics bogins to look promising, two South American vations are to he de- prived of American ministers. In both these cases the saluries of the official rep- rosentatives amount to u mere Lagatelle, The total amount saved by the consoli- dations is but $25,000, his government cannot afford to huve the ill will evenof Keuador for $25,000. It is to be hoped the broader statesmanship of the senate will comprebend the situation and pre- vent the consummation of this schewme of fulse economy. FAYETTE, Mo, recently had a public sale of negroos under tho vageancy law of the state. It wasa revival of mem- ories of old times in Missourl, which brought tears to the eyes of some of the relics of ante-bellum days. The vagrancy law seoms to bo drawn up more especially for blacks than for whites, und this possibly accounts for the fuct thut it 15 10 the swatutes of Mis- sourk.

In fact the withholding of the names of appointess to suprevise public work conceals the responsibility of the inspector to a degree. The idea of the bdard, therefore, in remaining silent as to its appointments is of nobenefit to the public sevvice. —_— TiE doctors who have been standing in with the druggists are now in a fair way to lose the side receipts which have 50 long been an abuse. The druggists are moving for an organization which shall abolish commissions to physicians for prescrivtions. When this reform is accomplished poor patients will be in condition to pay for their prescriptions and their doctor's bills without mort- gaging their furniture and pawning their clothes, ALTHOUGH Arapahoe county, in which is included the city of Deaver, is the political as well as commoreial center of Colorado and is presumed to be bub- bling over with enthusiasm for free coinage, the republican county conven- tion declared for Harrison in the strong- est terms, This too with a knowledge of the fact that Teller and Wolcott would probably hoad the delegation to Minneapolis. . THE coterie of democrats whoare get- ting worsted in the Raum investigation at Washington should keep their tem- pers. Commissioner Raum as a witness is entitled to courteous treatment, At- tempts to bulldoze and browbeat him are not only unealled for, but ungentie- manly. Mr. Enloo should be publicly veprimanded for insulting a witness in a congressional investigation. Insulting & Western Man, Philatelphia Press.

Chicago News. Wken the New York republican convention meets at Albany on Thursday it will be definitely known what strength the allegod combination against L’resident Harrison's re- nomination can muster. The headquarters of anti-administration sentiment are in New York. Itis claimed that Messrs. Platt and Miller, who are sup- posed to control four-fifths of the convention delegates, still hurbor the delusion that Now York can control tiie nomination for presi- dent. Thelr autagonism to Harrison bas led them to seck out dissatisfied ropublican leaders in other statos aud to attempt a com- vination of forces, According to the story Seuator Quay, Clarkson, Genoral Alger, Foraker, ex-Speaker Reed and others are secretly upholdjng Messrs. Platt and Miller in their auti-ad- ministration plots, Even if this were so it is more than doubt- ful whether any of the men excent Platc and Miller could provent, if they tried, the sup- port of the administration by their own stato delegations. As for the Now York men, they are neither very big uor very formidable. —_——— AGED PATRIOT.
