We now may drop back to’our old familiar termsof “colonel,” ' major” and “‘partner.”” as THE most discouraging thing that has been said about Mr, Cleveland lately is the statement from Mississippi that he could not carry that state if nominated. This is about equivalent to saying that the Dutch could not carry Holland. ENGLAND is drifting far away from her staid commerciul views. Salisbury’s speech on free trade is followed by the nows of the great work of the Bime- tallic league, composed of bankers and commercinl men all over the country.

Tne Presbyterian general assembly has referred the question of revision back to the presbyteries. This is a sly but stale resort. There never has been o goneral assembly, synod, conferenco, court or sanhedrin which hasn’t at- tempted to escape responsibility when- ever it could do so. THE very unique plan of Dr. Rains- ford of New York to provide drinking wlaces for the poor is exciting. great comment and discussion, Three news- ypapers of the metropolis openly endorse 1t and but one openly opposes it. There fs in it an clement of sense in ils pro- posal to make good out of evil, but who 15 to furnish the soan? THERE are now ahout 110,000 Chinese fn this country entitled toregistry under the exclusion act. The act provides for the payment of a fee of $1 to collectors of intornal revenue for each certificate Issued, but us thero is no appropriation under which the payment of such fees may be made Secretary Fostor suys that the work must be done by saluried sub- ordinates. This will cut down the profits of internal revenue collectors in some localitios. ALLAN RoOT is opposed to the Ne- braska Contral. That will not surprise anybody who knows Allun Root. The mossbucks are all against every pro, that is iiablo to promote the growth of this city. Root is willing, however, to share the increase in the value of lands and lots by the enterprise of people who nare wide nwake and who arve willing to risk all they have and all they can bor- row in building up the town. UNION PACIFIC ASSESSOR ENRENPFORT has o mission to perform which is us delicate as it is difcult, He has ussumed the role of legal ex- pounder, und slyly whispers to the credulous people of his ucquaintance that the couditions of the Nebraska Ceotral bond proposition cannot be en- forced sgainst the compuny. Thore Is a Lerman sdoge that Ebrenpfort should beed: “Shoemaker stick to thy last.” Ehreuplort is good authority on fence building sod logrolling, but what he Bossn’t kuow about law would fill soveral ACTING WILL THEY DARE BETRAY TRUSTY Four weeks ago the republicans of South Dakota, through their state con- vention, instructed and pledged the del- egates chosen to reprosert that state at Minoenoplis to vote and work for the re- nomination of Benjumin Harrison. And now Senator Pettigrew, the head of the South Dakota delegation, has publicly announced that his own vote and that of the whole South Dakota delegation will be cust for James G. Blaine on the first ballot. Mr. Pettigrew is quoted as say- ing: It is true that South Dakota is insteucted for Harrison, but it is equally true that this was done with the understanding that Blaine was not o candidate. South Dakotais un- questionably a Blaino stato. It has declaved for Blaino at every convention since it be- came a state, Kvery may, woman and child is for Biane, If such o flop was attempted or pro- vosed by u carpet bag delegate from South Carolina or Arkansas, where pol itical morals are at a low cbb and dele- gates to national conventions consider it no dishonor to offer their votes to the highest bidder, nobody would be sur- prised. But Senuator Pettigrew repro- seats an intelligent and high-minded constituency. What right has he, of all others, to repudiato the pledges of his party, and what right has he to ad- vertise his collengues on the delegation as committed with himself to an infam- ous betrayal of the trust reposed in them. How can Mr. Pettigrew, or any other man, acting in o vepresentative cupacity, absolve himself from the obli- gation that rests upon him under the unwritten law which no honest or hon- orable mun would ever dare vio- late? What evidence has Mr. Petti- grew that the republicans of South Dakota have chauged their minds within thirty days, and when has he had any chance to canvass thoir views and consult their wishes? Where is thero any evidence that South Dakota ns think less of Hurrison today sy did when they voted the in- structions to their delegates to support him as their choice? When did the re- publicans of South Dakota ever vote for Bluine, and since when have they ascer- tained that Blaine is u candidate? South Dakota has never voted for Blaine and has never had a chance to vote for him for prosident. She would not be a state THEIR .today had it not been for Harrison, and Pettigrew would today be practicing law in Sioux Falls instead of holding a seat in the United States senate. Mr. Blaine is doubtless very popular in South Da- Kkota, but if every man, woman and child was really for him Mr. Pettigrew and the delegation from South Dakota have no means of knowing that fact and are in honor bound to live up to their obli- gations as expressed in the resolutions of the convention that elected them. If they do anything elso they will dese:ve to be branded as a brace of political traitors and arrant knaves. The effects of the course which Mr. Pettigrew has outlined for himself and his nssociates are far-reaching and will seriously imperil the chance of swing- ing South Dakota back into the repub- lican column this fall. Tn South Dukota, as in Nebraski, the party can only hope to regain supremacy this year by inspiring confidence that the pledges made by its conveutions will be honestly lived up to by its candidates. Suppose that when Pettigrew’s term was about to expire the republican county conventions should pledge candidates for the legislature to vote for his re-election. What would he think of any member of the legislature eolected squarely on that issue who would repudiate his instructions to support Pettigrew on the plea that another man who was not a candidate before the election is, in his opinion, more popular. Would not such conduct justly be denounced by Senator Petti- grew and his supporters as infamous? Does Mr. Pettigrew propose to sow the wind at Minneapolis in June to let the party reap the whirlwind in South Dakota in November? Incidentally we may as well correct Mr. Pettigrew’s libels on the Nebraska delegation to Minneapolis, which he is credited with representing as hopelessly divided on tho presidential issue. Each and every member of the Nebraska dele- gation to Minneapolis is instructed for Harrison and it is a calumny to repre- sent them or any one of tlem as di posed to become recreant to their trust, whatever any other instructed delega- tion east or west may THE s The devoted followers of Grover Cleve- land in the state of New York will be- begin to assemble in Syracuse today for the anti-Hill convention that is to take place tomorrow. It hasbeen freely pre- dicted that the movement would die for want of nourishment befors the arrival of the day set for.the conveution, but it still lives and there is a prospect that the protesting democrats will fully carry out their plans. So far as New York city is concerned the convention will be a representative one. Every one of the twenty-four assembly districts in the citys hus chosen delegutes and the number of votes polled ut the primaries oxceoded the expectations of the pro- moters of the movement, reaching a figute nearly double that of the mid- winter snap-convention primaries. Con- bsolute sway of Tammany in nourly every district in the city it is surprising that the Cleveland managers in New York, most of them unaccus- tomed tocaucus worlk, should have boen able to poll a vote lurger than that usually polled for the regular conven- tions of the party. But while a full and roally formidabla reprosentation has been secured in the city the represonta- tlon from the country districts will bo rathee seattering. The primaries throughout the state have been thinly attended nud in many casos they have fallen through altogether. This s probably due to imperfect organizdtion, for thore is ploaty of unti-Hill sentiment in the rural districts of the state. The resolutions to be submitted at Syracuse huve been prepared by ox- Secretury Fairchild and E. Ellery An- derson. They will sot forth ut length the rensons for the protest against the suap convention and tho variovs causes of compinint against the Hill machine, and wiil strongly endorss tho Cleveland administration, Judging by the freedom with which the Cleveland moen i New 4 hedging OMAHA York have condemned the tactics of Hili the resolutions and spueches nt Syracuse will be interosring. But it issignificant that the provisional committes which hus the work in hand announces that the action of the convention will not take the form of an attack upon Hill, but only upon Hillism. This accords very well with some other indications of that have been noticeable of late on the part of the anti-Hill peo- plo in Now York., They will condemn the theft and not the thiefl. Can it be possible that the Cloveland men are afraid of the recoil of this murderous gun which they have so deliberately londed and leveled at the idol of Tam- many? 1t bogins to look that way., Mr. Cleveland has lately been reported about veady to disclaim all symputhy with the movement, in obedience to tho wishes of his most influential friends in other states. KEx-Secretary Whitney, who is one of the closest friends of the ex-president, refused positively to pre- side over the Syracuse convention, and even said that he was not in any way identified with the movement. But i. is too late now to avert the calamity. Whatever damage the anti-Hill men are capable of doing to democratic prospects will have been done when they bave sent a contesting delegation to Chicago from the one state of all others which the party cannot afford to lose. ANOTHER CRISIS IN 1TALY. The resignation of Signor Giolotti, who recently succeoded Crispi ns prime minister of Italy, has thrown that coun- try into another political ferment. The causes leading to his resignation are the same that have been at work for some time among the Italian people. The expensive policy of the government has alarmed the people and they are clam- oring for relief from the burdens which they have long been forced toboar, Ttaly has been driven very near to the verge of bankruptey by a policy that has not Dbeen gauged to correspond with her ro- sources, and the people feel that it is time to call a halt. Popular prido would sustain liberal expenditures on the army and navy if the country could stand the increasing drain which that involves, but the Italian “people are not rich enough to afford the luxury. The position of Italy in relation w0 other Buropean powers is such that King Humbert is able to justify his vosition s0 faras the logic of the situation is con- cerned, but the people point to a de- pleted treasury and their own depleted pockets and say that logic fails when the limit of the possible has been reached. Whether the popular dissatisfaction will assume such proportions as to force the king to yield and modify a policy that is proving too magnificent for the limited menns of Ttaly is a question tha will interest Europe. Ifthe chamber is dissolved in consequence of the resigna- tion of Giolotti, the ensuing elections will have an immediate influence in de- termining this question, for it will give the people a chance to make their wishes known. A revolution in Italy is be- lieved to be within.the possibilities of the near future, but it may be averted by conciliatory measures on the pary of the government. Meantime the burdened people of that sunny land will doubtless continue to seek velief by emigrating to America, THE INDUS POSITION. Although the Nebraska manufacturers’ exposition will not open until June 11, nearly half a month, hence, there is great activity at the Coliseum and many of the exhibitors ave already busily en- gaged in the work of arranging the arti- cles to which they will invite the at- tention of visitors. There is every pros- pect that this first exposition under the auspices of the Manufacturers and Con- sumers association will by far exceed the expectations of its projectors. Kvery foot of space in the oid building has been taken and it is probable that the annex, now about completed, will be nearly all occupied. The manufactur- ers of the state generally, and even those of Omaha, who have had great confidence in the success of the under- taking, are surprisedat the wide interost that has been awakened not only in Ne- braska but in other states. Many appli- cations for space have lately been re- ceived from outside manufacturers, but as the scope of the present plans does not extend beyond the borders of this state such applications have necessavily been rejected. Over 120 exhibitors are already on the list and the number will doubtless be considerably increased be- fore the vxposition is opened. Although the objects una the advan- tages to be derived from the series of expositions of which this will be the first have been extensively set forth in the columns of THE BEE, there are many manufacturers and dealers who have only just bogun to realize how wide an influence may thereby be ex- erted for the promotion of the indus- tides in which they are interested. Not a few who had already taken the space which they thought they would require, buve avithin the past few days been clamoring for more room in which to display their wures. This is a good sign. Competition is the life of busi- ness, and competition wmong the expo- sition exhibitors will tend to make this institution a means for the development of manufacturing and trade interests in Nebraska. The exposition is certain to be n success and a sourco of advantage to the people of the state at large. — A Mammoth Opening for Gould. Philadstphia Record.

Now York World: The clear, logical and forcivie renly of Glagstone to Saiisbury is remarkable “production, chiefly because 1t does not give o single sign or evidenca of any of 1he weaknesses of old age. It is an- other convincing reminder that age has not withered any of those faculties which make the grand old man easily the first of living English statesmen. Boston Gilobe: With all the eloquence and courage of his palmiest duys, the *grand olo man’ came gallactly to the defense of tha rights of Treland 1n the great varliamentary battle over the Balfour bill. Well might Mr. Gladstone hoid up to ridicule and contempt a mousure in which, as ho sald, everything good in previous legislation concerning Ire- lana has been leftout, and everything bad wserted. Springfield (Mass.) Republican: Tt looks as though Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour have got their followers well fn hand to pass the Irish Iocal government bill. Party dis- ciplino probably accounts for this so far as he tories are coucerned and the unionists will vote for it to provent u government de- feat, which would bo a vietory for Mr. Glad- stone. They would swallow a worse measuro than this bofore they would let Mr. Glad- 510ne $00re any sort of a victory on the Lrish question. Minneapolis Journal: Mr. Gladstone mado o strong speech against tha Balfour Irish governmént bill, but the irrationsl measure went to its second reading by a stiff tory ma- jority. It will be a failure if itis given statutory effect because, like other [risk ro- form bills, it treats Ircland as an alien quar- ter section which has to be distrusted and kept in subjection. Gladstono demands equality for all parts of the United Kingdom and until that 1s given there will bo an ugly Irish question to monopolizo The time of par- liament. Now York Tribune: The conservatives have not succoeded by their six-years’ cam- paign in wearing out Mr. Gladstone. He ro- mains tho greatest Englishman of bis time, with resources of igtellectual and debating power and with o political authoity over his countrymen unrivalled in this generation. If any statesman o effect the settloment of the Irish question, be can do it; und if he fails, there is npt another Englishman in public life who will “have the courage and patience to undertake it. The Irish people alone can defeat Hin if he returns’ to power; and this they will'do_if thoy neglect to sup- port the most generdhis and powerful cham- pion they have evdr bad among Kuglish statesmen. ’ Chicago Tribupe:, Ralfour will trouble with the bill, however, in the com- mittee stage. Mr, Healy aud the bright men of the Irish party Wil attack every line and clause of it. They wi'l find justification for their action 1n the 'séathing denunciation of the bill by Mr. Gladstone, as well as in the former utterances of Chamberlain, Churchill and Harrington. ‘Fhe session, therefore, is likely to be prolongad beyond the Oraage- men’s July holidays,- und tho dissolution may not take place until autumn. Of tho trumpery character of the bill thero is no question, but if it_becomes law there1s no doubt that the nationalist majority in Ire- land will utilize it to further its demands for parliamentary home ruie. In the meautime Mr. Gladstone's argument in favor of home rule, based on the inequality and injustice of the measure, will do duty in England and in Scotlaud. Philadelphia Press: Mr. Gladstone's speech upou the Irish local government bill has 1ts cbief and only importance because it cowes nearer to stating the present position of the liberal leador than any other of his vtterances for months past. 1t does this only by inference. Mr. Gladstone has long 1n- sisted that the best course for him to take upon the Irish question was to refuse to give details us to bis plans, He has declined, to use a tamiliar Iiberal phrase, to break the egg of home rule in order to show what was in it before it was hatched by a general election. Mr. Gladstone has even avoided a speech on Mr. Balfour's Irish local govern- ment bill. The bill fell so dead on its first night that this was scarcely necessary; but now that an election is near Mr. Gladstone unhbesitatingly declares that no measure can or ought to satisfy Ireland which does not recognize the unity of the kingdom and give @ popular local self-control of its affairs to its voters, have e FASHIONS FOR MEN.

SLAUGHTER OF RAILWAY EMPLOYES, Mr. Henry C. Adams, statistician of the Interstate Commerce comwission, presevts in the June number of The Forum the follow- ing startling showing of deaths aud accideats to railway ewployes : Total number of rallway employes (ll T e s v AR T ) Number kllled in ono yeur. ! 2451 Number Injured {u one yeur 22,500 his meaus ono death for every 300 and onn injury for every thirty men employed.

Number kitled 1o one yeour. Number injured In ono year. This meaus one death for every 105 und one injury for every twelve wmeu cugaged iu | and uncofipling cars was MeDor- | hanaling trains. Tn no othor employment, not even in mining, which i« a most danger- ous occupation, can such rosuits be shown. ®As to the chief causesof deaths and injuries, the total number killed in eoupling 36, ana_the nam ver injured was 7,812; while the total number killed in falling from trains and engines was 56, und tho fotal number injured was 2,563, That is to say, 57.94 por cont of tho total number of deaths and 45.57 per cent of tho total number of injuries sustainoa by railway employes resulted while coupling cars or setting rakes, Out of the total of 1,105,042 cars used in freight service, thero wre but S7,300 fitted with antomatic couplers, and_but 100,090 equipped with teain brakes. We can well understand, inthe light of such figures, when taken 1n eonnootion with the fact that thera are forty-four differont kinds of couplers and nine kinds of trawm brakes in actual use, that so-called safety appliauces, as at present used, increase rather than aecreaso the dangor of railway employment. Mr. Adams advocates the adoption, by the government, of uniform appliances for coupling, and the requirement that all roads shall use them. P —— CONANUBIALITIES, Sho—What is love, darling!

The announcement, that Heyward, son of Ward MeAllister, was secretly married nearly five years ago, or to bo correct, on August 22, 1857, to Miss Germany of Savan- nah. to whom he was known to be engaged, was a decided surprise to Now York society.

The Cumberland Presbyterian general as. sembly met in IMemphis, Tenn., last Thurs. day. Many questions of interest to the de. nomination are up for discussion. Bishop Potter, who doesn’t benieve in the modern-powed church, quotes in his Forur article a romark of Daniel Webster, *‘that it was an evidence of the divine origin of Christianity that it had so long survived ity being preached in tub pulpits.” The Rev. Dr. Wild, who was once spoken of as Beecher's probablo successor in Piy- mouth pulpit, was asked not long ago by “a parishioner why he accepted a call to Tor- ounto, ‘I might say it was a call from fid he replied, “but the real fact is that I am paid $2,000 a year morc salary than I was getung.” Requests of religious, educational and charitable purposes under 120 of the wills re- ported in this country last yoar amounted to about §7,000,000. Tho amount of charitablo bequests and gifts in England 1 1801, exclu- sivoof Baron Hirsch’s benefactions, is esti- mated av about $15,000,000, as against $11,500,- 000 10 1590, The treasurer’s renort of the Baptist state convention of Georgia showed receipts ag- gregating $120,000, of which §63,024,44 was for the various missions fostored by tho The state mission work received Fifty-cight missionaries were employed, who bantized 1,053, of whom 7§ ‘were colored converts.

[t isne stated whether the Sunday morning or tho Monday morniog edition will be suspended. In eithercase tho problem of keeping the Sabbath day holy will confront the brethren. There is far too much sermonizing in mar y of the churches in these times, according ‘o the Boston Watchman, which is a_religious paper of the Baptist croed.
