Tt is of an altogether different sort. Ir LOOKS as it Henrl Watterson will have to take a torch and lead the demo- cratic procession himself. o may be his own dark horse. TiE beautifying of the school grounds of this city is one of the most urgent needs of Omaha. It is a reform which will work wonders when once inaugur- ated. t Mutual society that democratic convention at WHAT o gre Admiration uso will be next week! Only the irtuolis and pure politically will be admitted, SouTH CAROLINA in anabsent minded way threatens again to secede; this time it is from the democratic party if Cleve- land is nominated. That’san old threat of the Palmetto state and doesn’t sig- nify at all. Now that the weather has finally settled there should be no delay in push- ing forward cvery public and private improvement in Omaha. Ths country is already fairly alive with rush and vim. The town should be as active. CORN has gone up 22 cents a bushel since the 1st of May, but the price of silver is 1f anything a trifle lower now. How does this come? Have not the free silver angitators insisted that the price of silver regulates the price of grain. W TRUST the Missouri river has bo- come settled in its temporary course for o few months at least, and will now allow the map publishers and county sucveyors a chunce to umulate a veststore of headache on its account. JERRY SIMPSON has fallen a vietim to the snares of a corrupt and pampered environment, and is now riding a b cle on the Washington streets, When the news reaches Medicine Lodge Jerry will no longer be mentioned for congress by his late loving constituents, ITisall very well to be enthusiastic over a candidate and to have a candi- date over which one may enthuse. But the presidential campaign of this year is not to be won by a bruss band can- vass. An honest record and a square, argumentative fight are worth more votes than noisy enthusiasm, CONGRESSMAN BRYAN is accused of writing his own newspaper “pufls.” There has certainly been no better ex- smple of a political rocket than Mr Bryan. And even in a democratic con- gress o man who is trying to leap into prominence at one bound by a super- abundance of gall soon finds his level. It 15 in nccord with the eternal fitness of things for Frank Hatton of the Wash« ington Post to raise his hands in holy _ horror over the participation of federal officeholders in the republican national convention. Bight yoars ago, when Feank Hatton was first assistant post- master general, he marched to Chicago at the head of a brigade of federal office- holders on behall of Avthur. And tho worst df it was that he allowed “himseli to be outgeneraled and outflanked by Steve Elkins when hoe had every advan- tage of position and compact forces, —_—ee ACCORDING to the Cincinnati Enquirer the nomination of James G, Blaine at Minne 1polis is inevitable. The Enquirer is the leading democratic organ of Ohio and its inside information comes from John R, Meclean, a democrat with Stundard Ofl teast proclivities who lives in gorgeous style at Washington and claims to sustain very intimato relations to Mr. Blaine socially. The inference to be drawn from such reports is that My, Blainoe is guilty of duplicity toward his own party and teaining on dangerously intimate terms with a democrat of ua- savory reputation, e Union Pacific railroad is out of politics, But John M. Thurston, who is drawing #1,000 a month out of the Union Pacific treasury, speuds two-thirds of ais time in politieal junketing tours and itar-chamber conforences with the com- vine of political maleontents who ure wrying by fair means or foul to defeat [Marrison for renowination. Yes, the Unfon Pacific is out of politics, but we will wager & nickel aguinst u brass but- ton that Thurston would not be cam- puigning against Hurrison at the ex- pense of the Union Paciic without Jay aould’s permission, BRASKA'S CORN PROSPECTS, The farmers of Nebraska appear to be less disturbed thus far by the continu- ance of unfavorable weather for corn planting than wmight be expoected by those who are less familiar with the sit- uation, There is a general belief that with fair weather from now on the seed cun be planted in time to insure a good crop. Nebraska has reason to look upon the present situation with complacency, for it is cortain that she will grow a crop of corn this year if anyis grown in the country, and the unfavorable conditions which threaten the crop in other locali- ties is sure to send ths price up to a handsome figure. Tndeed, it hasalready advanced and is going up steadily. The prospect is that this y crop, even if below the average, will be sufficient, with the large quantity still hela by the farmors from lust year’s handsome yicld, to make this season a highly prosperous one. It is estimated that fully 30 per cont of lnst year's corn isstill in the hands of the farmers. trolled by speculators, but is very gen- erally distributed about the state, and if the market fulfills its present promiso this old corn, as well us the new, will bring handsome returns to the farmer One of the satiefactory features of th situation is the fact that the old corn is not all held by tho wealthy farmers. The advantages to be derived from ad- vanced prices will be enjoyed by many of the poorer men, who were able on ac- count of the large yield and good prices last season to hold over a considerable portion of their crop, which now consti- tutes an asset that must not be over- looked in estimating the financial con- dition of the farmers of Nebraska, —— TEMPORARILY DROFPED. It is announced that Mr. Bland will make no further efforts at this session of congress to secure new legislation in the interest of silver. Having failed in several attempts to advance the cause of his hobby, he appears to have con- cluded that it is a hopeless contest against the combination of nti-free coinage democrats and republicans, re- inforced by those democrats who, while nut unfriendly to free coinage, belicve it to be unexpedient, from a party point of view, to legislate regarding silver at this time. The frea silver leader in the house hus therefore concluded, so it is reported, to drop the subject for this session The friends of freo coinage certainly cannot complain that Mr. Bland hasnot been most loyal and faithful to the cause. As soon as practicable after the assembling of congress he framed a bill representing their demands and he used every offort to get it before the house for action. He encountered vigorous opposition from members of his own party who are hostile to free coinage, and some democrats whom he had counted among his supporters failed him when the time came for them to go on record. But he would still have been successful had it not been for tho nenrly solid voto of the republicans against him. It was only neces- sury for the republicans opposed to free colnage to have refrained from: voting in order to have enabled Mr. Bland to get his free coinage bill boefore the house, and doubtless to have passed it, and there were republicans who advised this course. The leaders of the minor- ity in the house, however, took the view that it was their duty to stand by their convictions and the policy of the nd they voted against free coin- slation. There is probably no now doubts that this course wise. It maintained a consistent attitude on the part of the ropublicans upon this question, and as the contest resulted it enabled the small rapublican minority of the house to justly claim the credit of having effectually checked the silver agitation without in the least relieving the democratic majority of the charge of favoring the free and un- limited coinage of silver. The country clearly understauds the situation, and it will give the republicans the credit of having forced Mr. Bland to give up the silver fight for this session. 1t may not be worth while to consider whether the silver agitation will be re- newed atthe next session ornot. At any rate it is not & matter about which thero nead be any present anxiety. It will depend very largely upon the re- sult of the presidential and congres- sional elections next November, though in any event there can be no danger of free coinage becoming the policy of the government within the next two years, for if a bill for this purpose were to pass this congress at tho next sessivn Presi- dent Harrson would be there to veto it. In the meanwhile there wiil have been held an international cunference on silverand the public mind will have been still further educated to the dangers of free coinuge under prevailing condi- tions, so that it .5 reusonably probable that after the present year the question of free and unlinnwed silver coinage will cease to be aserious issue. Itis undoubtedly a fact that o very large majority of the people ure opposed to it now and the more the subjoct is intelli- gently discussed the stronger will the opposition hecome. ————— THE LIBRARY PLANS. Plans for the new library and museum building have been submitted to the library bourd and are said to have been informally adopted. The designs con- template structure that will meet the wants of the public library for many vears but will in other respects fall far short of o metropolitan library and mu- seum in its exterior appearance. The.plans provide fora brick building soveroly plain and lacking in the impres- sive style that public buildings of this cluss should possess. The limited funds at tte disposal of the library board are sald to be respou- sible for the restrictions upon the arch tect to plain brick walls and omissions of decorative features in the exterior of the structure. This is what might have beon expected. It was uppsrent from the outset that $100,000 was insuflicient for the orection of a strictly fiveproof metropolitan library building that would stand comparison with buildings of this class in the principal cities of Awmerica and Edrope. Anything short of such a structure would scavcely be justified in view of the fact that the title to the ' grounds makes the building revort to the heirs of the ReeM estate unless it is dedi- cated and maintained perpetunlly for this purpose, Now that tha clty proposes to procesd with the erection of this building with the limited means at its command, the plans should bs designed on a scalo that will admit of onlargement and embel- lishment., In other words, the public library and mussum of Om1ha should b a mpnumental building when it is com- pleted. 1t should be a building to which oVl itizen of Omaha could point with pride, a building that would leave a lasting improssion upon strangers and would advertise Omaha abroad by its unique or classical design With such a plan, the money now at our disposal could be expédnded either upon the main body or centar of the structure, vo which additions would be in due time without marring the gni or wo should erect only one wing now, and extend the building when the necessary means aro at our command to complete it, either by an additional issue of bonds or by the bequests of public— spirited citizens, To orect a common- place brick building on the Reed site would be a grave and costly blunder. If Omahy doubles her population by the end of the present docade, we would be compelled as o matter ot local pride to pull the building down and replace it with a structure commensurate with our pretensions and populution. A DEMORALIZING SENTIMENT, The French jury that has just found Edward P. Deacon of Boston guilty of shooting M. Abellle, with intent not to kill but misroly to wound, undoubtedly vo- flected the general sentiment of tho peo- ple of that country in respect to the rights of injured husbands in cases of this kind, Mr. Deacon’s sentence of one year in prison will be deemed rather severe than otherwise by Fronchmen who believe in killing as a cure for such practices as those by which Abeille broke up Mr. Deacon’s h®me. But the example in this notorious case is very bad, and the approval or half- bearted disapproval with which the re- sult of the trial seems to be reccived by many even in this country will huve a bad effect upon public morals generally, and especially upon the minds of the young. Such deliberate killing as that of which Deacon was guilty is murder, and sophistry is wasted in trying to make it appear anything eclse. The vietim was a villain, it is true, but there is evidence enough that the woman was as bad as the man who was shot to death by her husband. At any rate the kili- ing cannot be justified. The sentimen- tal teadency of modern juries in cases of this nature encourages disregard of the majesty of the law. American juries are perhaps little better than the French in this respect. In numerous cases of like nature in this country juries have found verdicts of acquittal upon some such absurd ground as that of momentary insanity, Public senti- ment needs bracing up and not relaxing upon the question of premeditated kill- ing. A GRreAT deal of the usual locking- the-door-after-the-horse-is-stolen philos- ophy is being indulged in just now rela- tive to the floods, but there is at least sound sense in a suggestion that the levee system be abandoned. The ditch system might be the proper plan. In the floods of the past two wecks the im- practicability of the levee system has been pretty thoroughly shown. It1sat best a very expensive and uncertain means of protection against the upris- ing and outbursting of the great stream flowing beside it. On the other hand, wherever it was possible to deflect the course of the stream or the overflow of it into sloughs or ditches at one or both sides of the main channel of the river, that plan has succeeded admirably,. In some districts, notably at New O:xleans, it is impossible to construct these gitches, for there is no room for them. But in almost every other place the ditch system would seem to be practi- cablo and less expensiva than the levee plan. The idea is that if the riveris going to overflow let it overflow, but let a place be prepared for the water. A large number of these ditches could be constructed at intervals along the banks of the river and in times of flood the water would flow into them and thus relieve the pressure above and below them. Certainly this plan ap- peals to reason and itdemands an in- vestigation to thoroughly test its prac- ticability. Tue figures given in THE SUNDAY Beg, showing the steadily advancing price of real estate in Omaha, were re- assuring. Perhaps no other city in the west could makea more favorable ex- hibit, and it furnishes a very conclusive answer to the croakers regarding Omaha. Itis well to remember, how- ever, that in order to maintain this Kind of prosperity population and busi- ness must be attracted to the city, and un essential prerequisite to this is better railroad facilities. When tha railroads which should bring tribute from all quarters to Omaha center in the city there will have been socured one of the most powerful aids to its prograss. Had Omaha been treated justly in this re- spect its population would now he doublo what it is and its business fourfold. An opportunity is again presonted to secure this essential aid to our advancement and prosperity and it must not be lost. — A YEAR ago iv was positively usserted that the city hall would be ready for oc- cupeney no later than the 1st of Janu- 1892, Now we are told that the finishing touches will be put on bafore the 1st of September. But the probabil- ities are that the finishing will drizzle along until the 1st of Junuary, 1803, with a chance of some essential features re- maining unfinished up to a year from this time. THERE appears to bo a growing feel- ing in the cast favorable to Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania as an available demooratic candidate for president. The indications ave that the democratic sentiment in his own state is turning very strongly toward him, and as the belief grows that Cleveland will not be given the nomination Pennsylvania democrats are preparing to make o vig- orous fight for Pattison.

Without regard to the objacts it has in view politically, it may be hoped that it will vie with either of the others as a western spectacle. It will be a great body, both 1n mumbersand brains. The Omaha people are preparing to take care of 25,000 visitors, and are likely to find tha they have greatly underestimated tho strength of the invasion. Its interest, however, will be much less than in eitber of the other aggregations, duo to num- bers. It will be a polyhued show.

Shafe, CATHOLIC SCHOUL QU 'LON, Archbishop Corrigan Explains His Views on the Fairbault Plan, :w York, May 23.—A Hevald reporter asked Avchbishop Corrigan last night wi he cared to say of the interview had w Avchbishop [reland in ome on Saturday The archbishop read thedispateh from Roma carofully and then dictated the following reply: “In reply to your question [ have to say that the views of the archbishop of St. Paul and myself are not so hard to be reconciled, provided confusion of terins be avoidea. By the Fairbault system one may understand cither the general theory of secularizing pa- roohial sohools, oF the purtioular oxpediont adoptod in the special cascs of Fairbault and Stillwater. 'I'ne cablegram roead by me in ‘Albany used the phrase in the formor sense. Avrchbishop Ireland uses it in tho latter, I have nover, for an iustant, maintained that the Fairbault plan, in this restricted sense, was condemned; on tho contrary I always declared it was tolerated—nothing more. The largor question of tho provision to be madoe in general for Catholic children who, for whatever reason, do not uttend Catnolic sohools, and who are nosw atteading the pub- lic schools, bas not yet been decided and is to be considered i the moeting of the arch- bishops nsxt October. It is propor to boar in mind that the Fairbault plan, according to the definition given by Archbishop Ira- tand himself, publishea December 14, 1801, means the handing over of a Catlolic school, fit in ail rospects to be puv on a line with public schools, to the board of education. His vlan, therefore, if this definition be ad hered to, does not affect the 1,500,000 Catho- lic children who are not found today in schools of their own faith.” s e Increased Phel New Havey, Conn., May the Phelan-Walsh quo warranto case, to ex- peaite matters, have appointed a committeo of two republicans and two domocrats to canvass the votes cast for secretary of stato at the last state olection.
