IF TI paving contractors bave formed a combine to rase prices or to prevent competition or to foist inferior material upon the city, it becomes the duty of the mayor and council to pro- tect tho taxpayers. THE signal service weather clerk of this city has inaulged in a good deal of wild guessing within tho past thirty days and his confidential advice to farm- ers to plant their corn crop within the next three days will be taken with a grain of allowance. THE excise commissioners of New York City have deciaed that they can- not permit three saloons to be in exist- ence on four corners. This is a strange position for New York exeise commis- sioners to tuke. Do they waut the sons of Tammany to perish of thirst? SPAIN has at last removed the em- bargo on American pork, and now the Amorican hog may be found on ice in all the murkets of the world. But the genuine American hog is found only in the dining car on overy limited express train on both sides of the ocean. JACOB GOULD SCHURMAN, the newly elected president of Cornell univorsity, Is only 38 years of .nge. The old idea that a college president must be a ven- erable minister with a taste for meta- physics seems to have given way to the modern conception of a business man who can handle the facalty and secure funds for the institution, Trost who believe that the proposi- tion of the Nebraska Central Railway company would, if carvied out, bo of great advantage to Omaha, should work ronlously to promote that view. In or- dor to make success cortain the p:opo- sition must have the eurncst and con- stant advocacy of its friends, because there will be an industrious opposition to overcome. The bridge monopoly will fight hard to defeav it. Ir THE uction of the council in over- ruling the Board of Public Works in its specifications for paving material and the ten-year guaranty will result in de- « luying public workssixty days or longer 1t becomes a vory serious matter. Our working poople have already suffered great hardship by reason of the con- tinued rains, and any needless delay of public works will aggravate the situa- tion and cause greator hardship. ‘THE determination of the democrats to take ro chances on New York in sulectin their candidate for presi- dont is plainly apparent. “By no fogenuity of figuring,” says the San Francisco Keaminer, can New York be dispensed ith.” Tne Bik has frequently pointed out thut the fight in the Empire state was rathor significant.

WHO ARE THE MEN? Who arn the men that are organizing the opposition to President Harrison? To what extent have they uny claims to be regarded as lenders of the repub- liean party? What have they done to entitle them to a command voice in the party councils? These ¢ which it is pertinent to ask at this timo and to answe for the information of those who may not be familiar with the records of the chief plotters against the unity and harmony of the republican party, In Now York the head of the opposi- tion to the president Is ex-Senator Platt, ) questions who resigned his seat in the United States se! o at the same time that Roscoe Conkling did, in 1851, on count of u controversy with the Garficld administration. Ever since t time “Me Too" Platt has been ying the role of a political boss in the Empire state, greatly to the injury and disnd- vantage of the republican party. His bossism has cost the parly thousands of votes in every state camopaign, and is in very great degree responsible for the fact that New York is now completely under democratic control. 1 t hus been dissatisfied with the distribution of federal patronage in New York, which he has not been permitted to con- trol to his liking, and hence his opposi- tion to the president. The opposition of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania is well understood to spring from a like cause. He is essen- tially a spoilsman, and President Harri son incurred his displeasure the mo- ment he declined to allow him to parcel out the federal offices in Pennsylvania at his pleasure. Nobody will deny that as the chairman of tho national repub- lican committee in the last presidentinl campaign Quay was a valuablo man, but except this ho has not been useful to the republican party. Thousands of republicans in Penusylvan have de- nounced and repudiated his machine management of polities, and it was this which enabled the democrats of the state 1o elcet the present governor. His public life has not been above repronch, and as a senator from Pennsylvania he has made no record that will be remem- bered to his credit. A loss important and influontial mem- ber of tho combination seeking to defeat thoe renomination of the pres- ident is Clarkson of Towa, for although ho has denied having anything to do with the movement, there is not a reusonabic doubt that he isin it. The position of arkson is that of an ingrate, he having been recognized and honored by President Harrison far beyond his merit. Asa state politician he has always been a dead weight upon the republican p of Towa, and to hisblind and blundering attempts at leudership are very largely dus the democratic successes in the last two state campaigns, Such are the mea who are the real promoters and managers of the opposi- tion to the president—political bosses whose dissatisfaction springs from the fact that they have not been able to do 48 they pleased with the administration. Thiere are some others wiiose namas are identified with the movement and have given it a character which the men med could not alone huve done, but the arch-plotters, who are threatening the disorganization of the party, are the three whose record we have brieflly re- ferred to. They are in no sense repre- sentative republicans, nor are they men whose counsel the party can safoly tako. The disastrous consequences of the leadership in their respective states should be sufficient to warn the party at largo that it could make no more serious mistake than to permit these men o direct its choice of a presidentinl candidate. SILVER IN THE DEMOCRATIC CON TION. Representative Harter of Ohio, a dem- ocrat, who is opposed to the free coin- age of silver and made a strong fight against it in the house oi representa- tives, professes to believe that there will be no serious controversy regarding sil- ver in the national democratic conven- tion. His opinion is that the convention wili not declare for freo silver, and that no very vigorous attempt will be made to induce it to do so. Mr. Harter’s conlidence in this matter may be well founded, but if it shall prove w0 be the surrender on the part silvor men will be most w o view of their asceudancy in the house of rep- resentatives and in the rank and fre of the party. Everybody knows that a free coinage bill would have passed the house of representatives if it had not been for the nearly solid republican vote against taking up the measure, the dem- ocratic vote being largely in favor of such legislation. [t was shown that the democratic representatives from a ma- jority of the states were for free silver, and it appears reasonable to conclude from this that & majority of the plat- form committee of the national conven- tion, which will be composed of one rep- resentative from each state, will be vornblo to free silver. An estimate utly made by a democratic paper gives free silver a ropeo antation of at lenst twenty-seven on the convention committee on resolutions, with a prob ability of several more If this should turn out to he approxi- mately correct, it is not easy to balieve that there will be no fight over the sil- ver question in the national convention. It would seew to boin the highest de- gree probuble that what the advocates of that policy failed to do in the house of representutives they will endeavor eomplish in the national conven- 4 that is, commit tho party fully to the free and unlimited colnage of sily Practically this is what the vote in the house did, but it does not huve the same binding character us would the declarn- tion of the national convention in favor of froo silver, and it is hardly conceiv- ablo that the silver men will foregosuch An opportunity o mako a square issuo before the country on this question. Porhaps the selection of a candidate may have an important influence in do- tormining action regarding silvor. Ob- viously there will have to be accord be- tween the platform and the views of tho man chosen to stand on it. If the c vention should seloct Clevelund it could not declare for free silver, and this 15 one of the considerations which appears the remarkable, of rec OMAHA THE to militate aguinst tha chaunces of the leading candidate. In anyevent, how- ever, tha democ party cannot de- ceive the country as to its position ro- gurding silver. The record made by its ropresentatives in congross is conelusive ovidonce that a large majority of the party favors free and unlimited coinage, and this record will not be tost sight of in the presidential campaign whether the national convention makes any dec- laration regarding silver or ignores the subject as it did four impossible for the party to escape from the position in which it was placed by the large vote of its representatives in congross favorable to the adoption of a freo coinage measuro, and it will be catled upon to unswer to the country for that action vegardloss of what the na- tional couvention may docide to be ex- pedient. i PROTECTION AND RECIPROCITY IN ENG- LAND, In his speech at Hastings last Wed- nesday Lord Salisbury made a distinet and nnmistakeable admission of the dis- astrous results of free trade in England. The principle of taking in the goods of all nations duty free might be very noble, he said, but it was not business. “I would impress upon you,” he con- tinued, “‘thut if you intend in this con- flict of commercial treaties to hold your own, you must bo prepared, if need be, to inflict upon nations who injure you the penalty which is in your hauds, of refusing them access to your markets.” Ceming from so high an authority as the prime minister such an admission of the advantages of free trade Is very significant. **T'he power which we have most reason to complain of,” says Lord Salisbury, *‘is the United States.” And in: “The commodities from the United States must have a duty levied upon them just as Bnglish goods are dealt with over there.” Such utterances as these, just asa political campitign is about to open in gland, show that Lord Salisbury is too shrewd an observer not to have noted the dissatisfaction that prevails in that country among the farmers and manufacturars ns well as the toiling musses in consequence of the hardshins oceasioned by free admission of foreign woods. To some extent his lordship may have been fishing for votes for the 10! ¥, but at any rate he expressed a sentiment that provails extonsively in ngland. The agricultural and manu- facturing interests thero have suffered and the laborer dependent upon those interests has been impoverished by the American protective system. While the volume of trade does not secem to have been reduced since the enforco- ment of the new tariff law in the United tes the profits hava fallen so low as create alarm. In the nature of to things such a cutting down of profits in a country whore the producer’s margin was not large before must result in a re- duction of expenses, and here the work- ingman comes in. His condition was bad enough before, but now he must see his wages shrink still further because free trade will not permit his employer to pay u good price for work that brings an insignificant profit. Englisa work- ingmen havo long contendod in vain ior better pay, and now they seein to have loarned for the first time that the free admission of foreign products is a factor in the problem. They have felt the ef- feet und now they are clamoring for tho removal of the cause. This is logical and the wonder is that they did not think of it long ago, for they suffered by free trade long before the McKinley bill was dreamed of. The farmers, manufacturersand worlk- ingmen of the United S will find States food for reflection in the utterances of Lord Salisbury on’ this subject. The Knglish prime minister hus not avowed himself in favor of u departure from the old system without full knowledge of the dissatisfaction which it has caused. He is a shrewd politician and may be depended upon to feel the public pulse to some purpose. He knows that the English workingman is beginning to perceive why he workingmen of America are ablo to save money from their enrnings while he is barely able tolive upon his siender wages. Our toiling masses complain sometimes be cause they are not hetter paid, but when they remember that prices gen- erally are tending downward while their wages remain substantinily un- changed, they realize that their con- dition afforas no ground for discontent. It is not to be expected that a tariff law will soon be enacted in Fngland, for the sentiments of her prime minister will meet with a vigorous opposition, but it is significant that such sentiments should have been expressed at all. ——— INEXCUSABLE MISMANAGEMENT. ‘That thero has been inexcusable mis- management in the county court house for years is a matter of common notori- ety. The collapse of the north wing of the county hoepital and the wretched condition of the portion of that structure which remains intact afford striking proof of the reckless disregard of busi ness methods on the part of former com-" wmissioners. ‘Chut is, however, not the only legucy of negleet and mismunagement that comes down to the present board from its predec It is reported on good authority that there is no record of contracts made with the county during the past twenty yenvs: that the county hospital con- tracts ave all in a heap; that the bonds of contractors are not cared for and no one knows where they muy be found when wanted; that no record is kept of bills paid and that numerous instances huve nrisen where bills have been paid twice. Innumerable cluims ure made ngainst the county, but norecord is kept of their dis- position, Itissaid that thereis notasin- #le ledger account kept in any county offico. Warraats are drawn o the full amount of the general fund levy, when evorybody knows that no move than 90 per cont of a levy in this county is, or has boen, collectable, This practice has gone on for years, 50 that now there is discropancy of $72,000 ns a result. In other states It is the practice to issue warrants to the amount of only 75 je cent of a levy, and uny oxcess collected ix turned into the sinking fund These ure only some of the many irvegularities and evidences of shifticss: ness brought to public nolice withis ors, BLE: DAILY MONDAY, very recentyymgriod. Such a swate of affairs calls for radical reform. The taxpayers of Douglas county have a right to insist that their affairs shail ho conducted on business principles. It is not a question of poor pay nnd shortage of help. Kach of the five commnissioners draws $150 n_month or $5 for every dav in the year, ¥k days and Sund It is expected thif this pay is sufficient to enable them tofflovote their whole time, or ut least sie-@ours a day, to the supor- sion of the affairs of the county. We have a ord@ of deeds, county clerk, treasurer and gounty auditor who, with their deputies and clerks, should be able 10 keep a complete set of books with checks and balances so adjusted as to prevent mistakes and misappropriations, If the commissionors find that these officers and their clerks are overworked or underpaid they have it within their power to relieve them und maie sure that the county’s records are kept as well as those of any first class business house. This is expectod by the taxpayors and nothing less will be satisfactory. e—— NO I 10 STAND ON. When a democrat of the brains and character of Senator Gorman takes a position directly opposed to the attitude of his party upon an important question of national policy it is reasonable to sup- pose that some of those who have blindly and thoughtlessly endorsed the tactics which he opposes will begin toask thel solves il they have not after all been wrong. The Maryland senator’s vigor- ous hostility to the foolish policy of his party concorning the maintenance of a navy in keeping with the dignity of this country will undoubtedly have a wide influence among sensible democrats and may put astop to the silly t about republican extravagance that has formed 80 large a part of the stock in trade of the democratic orators und press. If its own best men are to deny the justice of its position on the question of expendi- tures for the navy whatis the democra to do for campaign material? With its unsavory river and harbor bill record and with men like Senator Gorman favoring the republican policy of liberal expenditure for the navy it is difficult to see where the democratic purty is to find arguments-to prove that it has a right to exist. A national cam- paign is coming on and the democracy socems 10 bo very poorly prepared for the battle. -Mere noise will not win this year.

Dr. Jesso Bowman Young of the Grand Avenue Mothodist Ipiscopal church as_edi- tor of the Christian Central Advoeato at St. Louwis. Dr. Youngis admirably equipped for the position to which the general confer, enco has called him. e is u man of wide travel and extonsive roading and possesses a comprohensive knowleago of mon and affairs both in and outside of the church. Kausas City Star: Tho early itinerancy was not withoutits serious discomforts to the ministry, but it encouraged and com- peiled o wholesome activity in the church, which kept alive tho spiritual zeal which vendered Methodism such a groat moral power in the land. The continued moditica tion of the itinerant plan probably prosages its final abandonment and o closer conform- ity to those other modern usages and inno- vatious which began to find their way into the church of John Wesley with tho advent of cushioned pews and stained glass win- dows, St. Paul Globe: A strong effort is belng made in the Methodist conference at Omaha to modify the specifications of the disciplina in regard to amusements. The memorial prosented on the subject has the support of many of tho bishops ana clergy. Its pur- port, however, is somewhat misunderstood. It 13 not a dispensation to older members to dance, attend theators or indulge w amuse ments that have been deenied obnoxious to Methodist decorum. [t is not the aiscontent, of the young members at not bewg allowed 10 dance und play cards at their social diver- sions, Nor do the bishops who advocate tho change have feet aching to bo moved to the music of the fiadle. Tho effort is to return to the rule of the early tupe, Until within the past two or threo decadus the only inter- diotion of the discipling was of such ~amuse- ments as “could not be taken in the name of the Lord.” St. Paul Pioneer Press: The Methodist brethren who met in earnest conclave at Omaha last Sunday were in danger of over- looking, in their exceeding zeal for the pros- ervation of the integrity of the Sabbath, tho precopt laid down for them long ago, that that day was created for man. 1f corroctly reported, their intention is to put out all their efforts, as individuals and asa rehig- fous body, toward securing the closing of the World's' fair on Sunday. * * < Admit- ting, s a willing concession to the stronuous workers against the Sunday opening, that Chicago’s guests would be bettor off if they could be induced to spend thoir Sundays while there in the Chicago churches, 1t is iin- possiblo to suppose that the majority of them, or even nny considerable portion of their’ number, would so disposo of the day under existing circumstances.

In a short time it will be even more difficult to get & quocum than it has been to hold 1t during the races and opening of the base ball season. Kverybody is disgusted with the weather and everybody and theic frienas are dis- rusted with a congress which is only pro- traoting its sossion for tho sake of making political capital, whose performancos up to dato with the appropriation bills have soured the couservative men of all parties and shades of political opinion.

But tho loaders of tho house with a subservient majority imagine that a comparison of tha small aimounts voted at the first session of the Fifty-second cougress with tha properly larger appropriations made by the ifty- Jirst will puss current with tho couutry as evidence of an economical and thrifty con duct of the government. Senator Allison and his committee of the senate will seo that proper additions are made to the appropria- tion bills and that such conferees shall bo appointed as will struggle to protect the clerks of the goverument from again becom- the prey of the “‘ten-per centers” while wailing for ‘the defictency appropriation to pay their salaries. Tho news from thé Nebraska convention at Kearney was received with satisfaction at the national capitai among ropublicans who are interested in the state and who were ex- tremely apprehensive that there would be a bitter factional strugelo over tho selection of the delegation to the Minneapolis conven- tion. There is a hope and belief expressed by Nebraskavs in Washington that the party will pull earnestly and strongly to- gether in the coming campalgn, not only polling 1ts fal vote, but attracling to it many of those who havo strayed away from itana after falso gods. 'The iustructions for Harrison wore confidently expected. W hatever may bo chilling in tho president's personality, there is 00 question of his romarkable oxecutivo ability, of nis perfect integriy of purpose, and of 'his phenomenal equipment for tho duties which he has buen called upon to perform. Most of tho obposition can bo traced uirectly to disuppointed applicants for oftice, or equally disappointed political bosses disgruntled nt the failure of tho vresident to adopt their suggestions. At the sawe time it is equally cortain that the con- servativo business interests of tho country are behind tho prosident, and look to bim as the ouly man in the republican party who, in case’ of re-clection, could be devended upon to maiutain the national credit against assault at home and from abroad. The opposition to President Harrison has been struggling vainly for three weoks to find a stalking horse for the Minneapolis couvention. Up to date they do not seem to have succeeded. Ono by ono the suggested candidates have ploasantly declined to bo used for this purpose. Sevoral of them aro now working earnestly for tho president, among them being Senator Cullom of Illi- nois, Senator Allison of Iowa and Senator John ' Sherman of Obio. It is not be- lieved that any combination could be made which could break into the strength of the support already openiy pledged to the nomination of President Harri- son. Mr. Plaww of New York is said to have hopes of holding toother the New York delegation, together with those of sev cral oth.r'stet +, no ins'ructad, until Such a timo a5 a new cand da’e can be sprung. But neither Mr. Platt nor Mr. Hatton have as who that maam will bo. The rumor now i3 that no definite plan of oampaign will be decidea upon uatil tho Saturday before tho Minneapolis conven- tion. Most of the leaders are thon oxpeoted to be on the ground ready to make combina- tions aud swaps, The Chicago convention is not, howover, likely to be repeated. The colored delogation from the south will prob- ably not find as sirong inducomonts offered them to stray from their allogiance as they did four years ago in_tue unfinished Auditorium by the siue of Lake aMichigan, Goneral Alger, though he has not up to dato formally deciined betug considered as & can- didate, 1s understood not to be so anxious for A fight agaiast the administration as he was Drior to the publieation of is army record, which, whilo it contains absolutely nothing discreditable 1o himself, puts & weapon in the lands of enemies which they have already used to his aisudvantage, and whion would undoubtedly be still wore extensively used in a cnmpaign fn which he hoaded the tional ticket aud appealed to the solaier vote as one of the cloments of his strougth. yot been ablo to figure out Neither of the Nobluska sonators will ba at the Minuneapotis convention, Senator Pad- dock dislikes crowas and says ke has too much work to do €ot away. Sonator Mauderson expeots to roturn from his flying visit to Nebraska before the 1st of June, and doos not propose to make another trip wost attor his return. Senator Mauderson thinks that tke battle this fall must be foughit out on tho samo lines as that of four years ago, und that an edu cutioual campaign on the ‘tarifl will produce good results. Senator Paddock, who is not tho advocate of as high a taril as Senator Manderson, believes that the party should bo extremely conservative in their pronun- clamento of eutogy on tho Mokinley bill aud contraction of the currency. Both senators oxpoct Lo_tuke tho stump for the republioan ticket in Nebraska if their public duties will permit. o To thoso who are on tho ground, the talk about tho possibility of Mr. Blaine being the nominee of the Minneapolis convention is absurd. “Mr. Blaine will uot under any possible contingency accept a nomination, said ono of tho New York “‘big four” the othier duy. “Ho is not only not a candidate, but ho will positively und absolutely declive 10 be a nomiuce. He 13 convinced thata year 1n the white house would result 1u a white houso funcral, aud he bas no ambition to maks & president out of a vice president. The spasmodic attempts to resuscitate the Blaiue boom are ridiculous. They do not pleaso the secretary of state and they burt 10 ouo else.” ot Charles J. (ireeno of ‘Omaha was here this weei for a day or two. I saw nim “tooting”’ in the White Lot in Senator Mandorsou’s haudsome dog cart, with the senator haud liug the ribbons, Charley says that Nebras ka's republican harmony is of & consistoncy thick enougn to cut with a butcher's cleaver, und taat the ointment which poured down Aavon’s beard is not “in it,” metaphorically speakini, alongside of tho situation. Speuk- g seriously, ho added that the ropublicans would pressnt a united frout to the enemy this falt and relegate all factional differences 10 tho rear. Mr. Greene is quito a frequont visitor to Washington duriug the sessions of the supreme court. Heis a great admirer of Justice Brewer. A newspaper man’ showed me a ourious thing toduy. 1t was a well written puff of & congressman by a congrossman. 1t spoke of the eloquent and talonted Mr. Bryan, or somo such be-ndjectived phraso, and 1t was in Mr. Bryaw's own handwritieg.

But he bas 8 surpassingly largo ostimate of his own importauce and_senso enough to see that only printer's ink can convince unknown rondors that his own footiugs show up a five- figure total. x *"x After all how mucn printer’s ink does for mediocre statesmen. Look at Willham S. Holman for instance, one of the cheapest two-for-a-cent domagogues ever 1n congress, who hus ridden into famo on the rollers of the perfecting press. Take Jerry Simpson, wnoso presumed denuded foct gave bim a prominence which ho has beon unavlo to sustain, Look at tho bowhiskerod Peffer of Kunsas, who was wittily characterized by Johu J. Ingails as “one of those cudavers who rise to the surface after au explosion.” Their names aro legion. Some of them aro shirewd advertisers, others are shrewdly ad- vertised. Tim Campbell of New Yorl, Tom Ochiltree of Texas, Vaux of Pennsylvania. Riadleberger of Virginia—the list is ten fect long. Nothing is se fatal to vrominonce as nowspaper silence. Nothiug so provocative of votes as laudatory press notices, I suppose by this tilne that Judge H. J. Davis has returnod to Omaha. Ho spent a weok in tho capital, his first in thometropolis of tho Potomac. I rau across him one day at Marshall hall shedding toars over a largo flat tombstone which he imagived covered the remains of Chief Justics John Marshall, but which in reality was eracted to his fourth cousin, Tom. Judge Davis did not thank his informant for disillusionizing kim. Tho judge declined to talk Nebraska politics wiile n Washington and devoted his time tostudying national questions from the galleries of th two houses. 1 am afrald that he was not much impressed with tho statesmanship of the houso, and unconciously compared it with the eity council in tne old traditionary days, whon Barnoy Shannon held sway i the old civy hali, where the Commercial Na- tional bank now stands, echoed 1o the elo- quence and the biiliugsgate of tho od regime.
