As a matter of fact tho strides made within the past decado in the develop- ment of our home industries exceed the most sanguine anticipations, ilills and factories have sprung up und multiviied in y village and city, Articles that nobody ever dreamt of soeir duced in this stato are becoming staplo products. On the heel of the sugar refineriesof Grand Island and Nor- folk comes the cotton mill at Kearne, and the pearl button factory at Omuha. And these are only tho forerunners of of industrial concerns that are destined to flourigh in Nebraska during tho presest decade. At hest the people ot Nebraska only have a faint conception of the magni- tude which our munufactures have al- ready reaciied, and even for those who are most familiar with the subjoct a sturtling surprise is in store when the come to view the exposition of Nebraska- made products that is to be opencd in Omalia during the coming month.

Every Ne- braskan can therefore look forwavd to the coming industrial exposition with confidence and prida. AN ARRANT DEMAGOGUE. Tt certainly was not necessary to wait for the present congress to establish the fact that Mr. Holman of Indiana, the chairman of the house committee on appropriations, isa demagogue. That has heen known to the country for some years, but in his present capacity he has had an unusually favorable opportunity to emphusiza it, and ho has improved it &0 thoroughiy as to call down upon him- self the unqualified condemnation of men of his own party. A number of democratic members of the house have lors. 1 1s0 1 countrie feit itto be their duty to denounce the ridiculous parsimony of Holman, and several have arraigned the so-callod witeh-dog of the trensury as being par- tial to cconomy in public expenditures ¥ did not apply to his own 0. alk- only when the, state or district. A few weeks when a biil was before the house n ing appropriations to supply deficienc: in the Department of Agriculture, Mr. Hatch of Missouri, chaivman of the com- mittee on agriculture, made this refer- ence to Holman: “I have seen him time and time again when he would take tha knife of the constitution and pare an ap- propriation so close that you could not see it under a microscops. Whon his own state was interested [ have secn him open the doors broader than would allow this capitol to go through.” Others have made a like charge with less direciness. A fow days ago, when the sundry eivil appropriation bill was being considered, the demagogic policy of the great cheese-parer was shown up by e Speaker Reed in a way that ought to attract the attention of the count Mr. Iteed said that nobody knew better than the chairman of the committeo on appropriations that all the appropri tions passed by the house have to revised and hav the senate of the United States in ac- cordance with their oflicial duty, which they will have to perform. *He knows the government will not b starved, be- cause the senate will put in the amend- ments,” and the object of making ap- proprintions which it is well understood will not meet the necessities of the pub- lic servico efficiently administered is “*to to thecountry with a false token, to charge the senate of the United States and the political party which it represents with extravagance that theso men thomselves huve justitied by their own votes and han It is an attempt, said Mr. Reed, to obtain the good will of the Amerienn psople upon their economic side without actuully bene ing them the least in the world. The expedient, or more properly the tricky practice, not new, but it isnot for that and it r has helped and now help the party guilty of it. Holinun has obtained notoriety as an honost advocate ot economy in public expenditures to which he is not justly be ot to be added to by will not entitled, uccording to the testimony of men of hisown party who have long served with him in congress. Ho is shown to be an arrant domagoguo without a single genuine claim to public confidence. IOWA THE CANDIDATE. The democrats of lowa have attractad the attention of the country, as it was expected they would do when they de clared th preference fo: Horace Boias as a candidate for prosident of the United States, That action has given Governor Boies a prestige and an - portance in the list of possible demo- cratic candidates for the presidency on- joyed by no other “favorite son,”™ and theve is excellent reason to expect that he will steadily gain in prominence as an available loader of the democracy in the national contest. Reforving to the action of the lowa democratic convention in instructing for Boies the Philagelphin Teecard says: *There is no doubt that no other demo- crat, not excepting Cleveland, [would reason any the less contemptible | OMAHA have €0 good a prospect of carrying Towa, with its fifteen oloctoral votes, ns would Governor Boles. Should the democratic national convention deem ¢ westorn candidate necessary for success, Governor Boies wouid probably be the strongest o that could be named, ospecially since Senator Palmer has taken himself out of the field.” The Springfield (Masa) Repuolican says: “Thefailure at nome of both Gray of Indiana and Palmer of Iliinois has of- fered the democrats of tunity which they have selves of with celerity, With Cleveland out of the race the JTowa candidate, of course, will assume proportions in the convention that must be reckoned with. Never before has state west of the Mississippi river prosumed to name the standard-bearer of the democratic party of the nation. It is not too much to say even that since the days of Stephen A. Douglass, ‘thelittle giant of the west,' no candidate tor such high honors has arison so near the setting sun with an equal claim to the attention of the demo- of the land.” Of courso these castern journals see a danger to Boies in his presumed attitude on the silver question, but he has yet to define his po- sition on that and it is possible to be radical than the enunciation of the lowa demo- cratic convention regarding silver. At any rato the demoerats of Towa al- ready find the dom of their straight- forward action vindicated, and the ef- feet will undoubtedly be to strengthen their devotion to their favorite candi- date. Tho ucknowledgement of the availability of Governor Boies by news- papers which huve hitherto been able to but one possible leader of the democracy in the presidentinl battle cannot, fail to stimulate the earnestness and the enthusinsm of his supportoers, and their determination 0 “use every honorable means to securo his nomination. It will not be sur- prising if when the democratic national lowa oppor- availed them- an a crats issue, less that it will be- found 500 incrouse convention mects tho contest for the nomination shall have narvowed down to Cleveland and Boies, and in that event the chances of the Towa candidate would be extremely good Ir 1s said th © moderate sil- ver men in are v well pleased with the progress which has been made toward an international monetary conference, and aceept it asan earnest of the sincerity of the adminis- tration. They think that in order to make the conferenco of any advantage the president must appoint men who are friendly to silver, and there can be no reasonable objection to this view. In- deed, it is entirely safe to assume that the president would not appoint men who are unfriendly to silver, for he would hardly select delegates whose opinions antagonize his own. The United States will have five ropresenta- tives in the conference, and this will give an opportunity for the representa- tion of various views, and very likely the president will be disposed to allow the extreme free coinage advocates one delegato at least, as it manifestly would be good policy to do this. The president is himself a friend of bimetallism, and there can be no doubt that a majurity of the delegates from the United States to the conference will be favorable to that policy. There need be no appreheasion that in this matter the president will fail to give all sides an opportunity to be heard, and he will have no difliculty in selecting representative men who will be satisfactory to the country. He has shown that no one has a more ear- nest interest than himself in this ques- tion. 1F e eouncil is bound to expend overy dollar in the street lighting fund Omaha should at least enjoy the ad- vantage of reasonabie rates for ail the additional electrical lamps the council proposes to order. The only excuse given for the extravagant price charged for electric lights under the original Thomson-Houston contract was the small number of street lamps thon or- dered. If we are to double the number of lumps theve should bo a material duction in price. In any event, contract at present rates should only run from year to year. The time is not distant when the eity will find it profit- able to acquirve a plant and manufacture its own eleetrie light. the THERE has never been a more foolish attack made than that of the democratic organs up m the sugar clanse of the Me- Kinley law. The psople of the United States know where they have received a divect and positive benefit in the chenp- ening of one of the great necessaries of life. Compared with that actual redue; tion, the iridescent and beautifully col- ored drenms und fairy tales of the free traders ave fiction, and that is fact. A WONDERFUIL spectacle it is to seo lowa free silver and honest money dem- ocrats throwing up their hats and ap- plauding the double-ender money plank in their platform. It is a convenient straddle, a feeble compromise, u coward- ly ovasion. It is suspended, like the corpse in Mahomet’s coffin, between heaven and earth with all the agony of both and none of the bliss of either, I 18 never wise to place ance upon democratic intestin After the nomination it is much reli- more than likely that most of the bickering will be laid aside until after election, and the democracy will be a compact body of howling partisans, with all their differences put to sleep under the potent spell of political hunger, THREE months ago David B.

The deliverance of that year did not hiouestly: or intelligontly refloct re publican sentiment. On tho tariff and on silver it was necdlessiy and inexcasably misloading. Thus, in rofernng to the tariff, it doclarsd that “if thoro shall remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of tho government we favor the entire ropeal of the intornal taxes ratbor thau tho sur- render of any part of our protestive svstem at tke join behest of the whisky trusts and the agents of foreign manutacturers, This was &n un- fortunato utterance, It was clumsy and deceptive, rendered frequent explanation necessary and put the party on the defensive in tho early part of the eampaign. In deal- ing with silver the platform was fully as bad. After saying that “the republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money,"” which was true then as it is true now, it lugged in tho unnocessary, idiotic and harmful assertion that tho repub- lican party *‘condomns the policy of the dem- ocratic administration in its efforts to de- monetize siiver,” These expressions roveal a blindness and an imbecility on the part of the men who drew up tho platform which are amazing and inexplicable. T'ho tarifl utterances put the party in tho attitude of favoring the removal of the tax on whisky ratber than allow a siogle customs duty to be lowered. Of course tho party did not subscribe to any such vicious doctrine, Indecd tho repub- can congress which was elected in that very campaign removed the duties on sugar, amounting to over 0,000,000 & year, aito- gothor, and left the whisky tax untouched; and tho republican president, wio was chosen at the samo time, afixed his signature to this legislation. The silver expression ap- peared to commit the republicans to free comage. Cloveland was denounced for standing out aainst the policy of throwing the mints wido open to silver, when the re- publicans in congress were on Cloveland's sido on this quoestion and his own party against him. President Harrison's silver ut- terances in his mossages and in his Albany specch last year, in which ho took precisoly the same ground as that occupied by his predecessor, have veen applauded by the republican party aud have been put in prac- tical shape in republican policy. The crim wal silliness of JSS8 must not be repeated. There must be no trickery, evasiveness or dishonesty. Thq men who draw up the party ageliverance must put it in harmony with party sentiment. The extreme length of the platform of four years ago, which would have been a radical defect in any ather proc- lamation of principles which ever emanated from a republican national gathering, was a sort of virtue in that one, as it repelled the average reader, and thus, to souie extent at least, concealed the blindness and folly of the platform's frame Wards FaMl 10 Express 16 State. Journal The falling of a large portion of the costly county hospital near Omaha is a warning to county and municipal oflicials against slop work on public buildings that should not go uubeeded. It scems to be agreed that the fault was with the contractors, who used fraudulent material and employed unskilful workmen. The wing that fell happened by the merest chance to be unoccupiea. It was intended for the insaneinmates of the county puorhouse, but owing to the continuanco of the cold weather they had not been moved 1n. If they had been there they would all have perished. Words fail to express the feeling of the outraged taxpayers of Douglas county in tho matter, but as the county cowmis- sioners had accepted the building which had been lately completed, it is likely that they will huve no recourse. — Lot the Schools Celebrate, Boston Advertiser. It is most gratifying to those who have in charga the movement towards a general cole- bration of October 12, 1892, by the school children of the United States, to seo the gen- eral and cordial response with which their suggestions have been accepted.

The father was a merchant, and Augustus, being the first born, was trained in the store whilst hie was but a ooy, and there received under his futher’s tuition that accuracy of business nabitaua that financial penetration of thought that churacterized his whole life and made his career such a brilliant success. Much of his usefulness was the resuit of carly training. 'The foundation of his busi- ness lifo as well as his raligious life was laid in the trainiue he received at that village home under the guidance and instruction of that father and mother, in honor of whose mem- ory tbis church has been called **Kountza Memorial Lutheran Church.” Is it any wonder that such home training, bothin finaycial matters and in Chuistian’ culture and example, should bind this family to- gether with ties of brotherly intercsts and affection loug after the parents hava de- parted ! As other members of the family grow into usefulness in the store, Augustus ventured out into life's arena to battle for himself, He located 1w Muscatne, la, and em- barked in tho real ostata’ business. Beiieving that there were fair lands furtker west, he arrived, in Apnl, 15 in Omal then a frontier village, and “an Indian trading voint.” He caught the spirit of the west, which he retained until death. Ho dealt somewhat in lots aund lands, but his chief desire was to establish a solid ana per- manent banking business. Ho made every effort subservient to this fixed objeet, and allowed no vicisitudo to divert him from his vurpose .In an humblo cottago on “Forest bill”” he tived, whore yonder beautiful man- sion now crowns the summit, with his sister in charge of the primitive home comforts, We hositate to looi back to thoso days, for fow at the present time can appreciate the sacrifices and privations of the early settler: At the northwest corver of Twelfth anc Farnam streots, where the iron bank now stands, 1n o small, one-story frame building he comuenced and established the banking business under tho titie of Kountze Brothers, 8 litlo that has lasted for more thau a_third ofa century and is familiarly known in the financial circles of tho nation to the present day.

To this pomt we will roturn again. Lot us notice a fow of tho characteriatics of tho man whoso depacturo wo deplore. Me Kountze was notably a setf-made mau, Hoe had a good common school education. but ho had no diploma, as a souvemr of ccilogo training, or an tntroduction to literary cir- cles. But remomber, that while ho had not tho advantazes of the schools, that groat lack was compensated for in a large moasuro by tho extraordinary ondowmonts with which God bad gifted hin He was a man of fow books, but ho read them weil. Ho took a deep interest in tho education of others, Ho was one of tho foundors of our high sehiool—~his namo upon the steps of yonder temple of learning - membor of different collogo boards—and a liberal and generous contributor to the up- building and maintenanco of educational in- stitutions. ‘Tho bible was his principal text book. 1o nover doutted its divine authority and used it as his rulo of faith and practice, Ho was gifted with remarkablo taet, with piercing ucuwen, with wonderfol enduranco and untiving persevorance. Ho possessed what might bo called managomont to a decreo bovond tho lot of common men T1o was honost in his dealings, and theroby ue gained tho confidenco of others; ho wus friondly and thoreby attracied with almost magnetic power. Ho was publio spivited, tuking an interest in anything that promised to promote the goncral wolfaro of tho city, the county aud the state. Onall oceasions when tho public interests demanded his counsel, Lis iufluence or his personal offoris, they wero not withheld. 1o was always ready to work in any position in which ho was placed, and often at the sacrifice of bis own personal comfort, 50 as to achiove the highost good to the greatest number. His willingoess 1o do, and his unvielding persistenco ' whatever ho undertook, made him a loader in publio ontecprises, whom all falt safe to follow. In tho development of our publie anstitutions, as well as in plans for their establishient, he took a conspicuous part, often at the cost of movey and labor, which the mass of our popuiace fail to ap! praciate, and seldom give the crodit due to the men who founded them. As the bricks or stone that form the foundation of theso stately cdificos aro under ground and buried out of sight, ana ouly the superstructure is brought to view, so also the early scttlers of any city or stato who endure the toil, make the sacritices, do the work, aud lay the foundation for futura do véiopments are often lost sight of by those who are made prosperous and happy as the vesult of che labor and sacrifico of those who have gone befora. The footnrints of those who first mark out the pathway are covered up and buried under the multitudo of steps that follow in their wake, Ho who helps to found a city in solid worth has nou lived iu vain. Works That Nev Die. Ho who lives to make prosperity to others possivle has lived to a purpose.

We live, labor, suffer and die; wo uchieve success for ourselves, make saceess possible for other,s fill the measure of our dutics, and pass away. 1ora timothe piace remains unfilled, tho avmor is laid aside, tho duties are suspended. B3ut soon 1ho armor is taken up, 1he dutios are assumed by others, and the place is filied by somo ono of the coming generation which so closely fol lows. ‘There is a short halt in the work and then it goes on again, but it is made easicr for thoso who follow by the vantago gained in the plans and labors of those who went bofore, Some meu originate, others verform, It is given 1o some to mark the outlines and to others to fill 1 tho dotatls.
