THE canard fiend alw finds an oc- cupution in a closely contested conven- tion. He seems to be plying his vocu- tion at Minneapolis now. SENATOR FRYE of Muine has gone to Moosehead lake fishing, A statesman who would go fishing at such a time as this cannot be a lover of his country. Don’r let political excitement drive from your mind that itis your loyal duty as an Omaha citizen to vote on June 16 for the Nebraska Central bonds. —— THE democratic party has two great journalistic lenders, Charles A. Dana and Henry Watterson. But their coun- sel will be brushed aside this year as usual. Tne fact that the great majority of the alliance vote came from the demo- cratic party in Monday’s Oregon elec- tion is mighty encoaraging to repub- licans, THE democrats are everywhere pro- claiming that they want ‘‘a man who can win,” This is in perfect harmony with the immemorial traditions of the party that caves only for power and spoils. MR. GLADSTONE is the owner of an estate comprising several thousand acres of forost untouched by any ax but his own, and he is not doing much chop- piog now. His political opponents have occasion to observe, however, that he keeps right on sawing wood. It 18 hard to believe that the distin- guished delegates to the Minneapolis convention ure as vicious as they look in the newspaper cuts. The pictures of Platt and Hiscock printed by the Chi- cago Inter Ocean moke one involuntarily clap one hand on his pocketbook and the other on his watch, *IN THE midst of all this excitement to Minneapolis,” says the Chicago Tribune, *‘don’t forget to boil your drink- ing water.” Self-presorvation is the first law of nature and Chicago does not forget under the most exciting circum- stances that its drinking water is not good in its raw state, ——— TnE trouble with these cyclones and other horrors is that they always destroy valuable.property.

They were dug out of the rocks recently at Canon City, Colo., und it is estimated | by geologists that they lived and moved and had their boing more than 80,000, 000 yeurs ago. This sounds fishy.

The greatest indiguation is expressed thut u system of huzing 1s tolerated to such & length that human life is endan- gered in many instances and to which the death of Mr. Rustin is directly churgeuble, twice | MEN WIO REPRESENT IDEA The speech of Chauncey M. Depew at the dedication of the convention hall at Minaeapolis contains many good points, among which is the following: *The history of our organization, its men and its mousures of the past, are a part of its claim to popular support. The demo- cratic party, neither through the mouths of its ovators nor the utterances of its conventions nor the editorials of its newspapers, ever refers to a democratio statesman since Genaral Jackson, with one exception.” The eoxception referred to by the speaker is Grover Cleveland, He is the only man who {s ever pointed out as standing for anything in particular, though an effort has sometimes been made to magnify Senator Hill by refer- ring to the uncompromising quality of his democracy. It is significant that republicans are able to point to 8o many distinguished men as representatives of the principles and politics of their party, *while the democrats have but one man who represents an idea. The idea of which he is the chosen exemplar is only a vague one which no man can define. Ho stands for a profession of reform pur- poses, but the good faith of that profes- sion is douvted even in his own party. Mr. Cleveland’s candidacy is based upon the assumption that he is greater and better than his party—an assumption that is hotly resented by the element that glories in Mr. Hill’s robust and aggrossive democracy, Kven if the ex- president may be said to stand as the representative of a worthy purpose it certainly cannot be said that he repre- sents his party. The distinguished re- publicans named by Mr. Depew stand for republicanism, for what it has done and for what it proposes to do, and so intimately are the records of their indi- vidual lives inwrought with that of the organization to which they belong that at the mere mention of their names the great deeds of the republican party come trooping to the mind in an instant. The strong contrast between the two organizations in this respect accounts for the fact that a majority of the peo- ple who think and reason are identifled with the republican party. Firm in the belief that what it has done and is doing under the leadership of such men is the best evidence of what it will do in the future, they refuse to accept mere prom- es from the democracy. If 1t were not for the readiness with which the thoughtless seize upon promises and re- linguish the substance for the shadow, it would hardly be worth while for the democrats to look for a presicential candidate A VALUABLE ENDORSEMENT. The South Omaha Live Stock ex- change has unanimously endorsed the Nebraska Central project. The resolu- tions adopted by tbat important busi- ness organization are explicit and un- qualified in approving the proposition. They express the opinion that an exten- sion of the territory from which the packing industries of South Omaha can draw their supplies is essential to their future growth and prosperity. Terris tory which ought to be tributary to this packing center is now practically inac- cessible owing to a lack of railway faciti- ties, and this conditicn of affairs would be remedicd by carrying out the Ne- braska Central project. Tt would enable South Omaha packers to obtain supplies which now go to Chicago and other packing points, thus largely increasing the business of thé former and advanc- ing the prosperity of the Magic city. In view of this the exchange urges all persons interested in the growth of the packing industries, which comprehend the progress and permanent prosperity of South Omaha, to support the propo- sition, This endorsement ought tohave great influence throughout the county, for it is presumed that every citizen desires the continued growth and prosperity of the packing industry, by far the most important in the county. Unquestiona- bly whatever will advance the interests of South Omaha will also help Omaha The welfare of the two cities is practic- ally identical, The growth of the for- mer must inevitably contribute to the progress of the latter, Tho endorse- ment of the Nebraska Central project by the live stock exchange is the ap- proval of thoroughly practical men,who know thesituation and what is necessary to improve it. Their judgment will have weight with other intelligent and progressive business men and ought to have an influence with everybody who believes that Omaha should be released, 80 far as its railroad facilities are con- cerned, from the domination of a single corporation which has never shown any concern for the progress and prosperity of this city. MAKING NEW STATES. Bills were pushed through the house of representatives on Monday, under a suspension of the rules, for admitting the territccics of New Mexico and Arl- zona to statehood. Legislation of this kind.at the present session of congress has been expected, bills having been in- troduced for the admission of all the torritories and a strong pressure brought to bear in favor of such action. The people of New Mexico have been especi- ally urgent, presenting the elaim which the lust census justifios that the terri- tory has a population greater than that of the states of Idaho und Wyoming combined and three times that of the stute of Nevada. The objection has been that this population is made up of | an incongrnous muddle of races, and that but u small proportion of the voters understand the Ameriean political sys- tem. Unquestionably this objection has lost o greut deal of its original force within the last two years, or since the production of facts by the census show- ing that New Mexieo had mado rapid progress in popular education and also in material growth. Very good reasons o given why the territory should be ven statehood, and a candid study of its resources will remove any doubt as to the ability of its people to maintain «state governmwent. It is said to be now realizing a quite vigorous develop- mont. Avizona is in o far lo:s favorablo con- dition for statebood. Its population at this time does not exceed 70,000, or less thun half the pumber required under the new apporiionment for a represeutative in congress, and its resources are mot E OMAHA DAILY BE SDAY, JUNE 8, 1892-TW such as to invite n rapid increase of pop- ulation, a large part of the territory being arid and worthless for agricultural purposes without irrigation. The peo- ple last yoar adopted a state constitution and are practically unanimovs for state- hood, but this does not prove that they are in condition to support a state goy- ernment, and there is a reasonable ground of doubt on this point which ivis the duty of congress not to ignore. Itis a sound principle to make states of the territories as soon as the conditions warrant doing so, but when there is a question as to the ability of a peopls to assume the duties and obligations of’ statehood it is wise to wait. This ap- pears to ve the situation regarding Ari- z0na. With regard to Oklahoma and Utah, for the admission of which bills were in- troduced early in the session, it is not probable that any action will be taken by this congress. Still Oklahoma has a much better claim, so far as populatidn and resources are concerned, than Ari- zonn, while Utah is in both respects far inadvance of New Mexico. What the chances of New Mexico and Arizona will be in the senate is uncertain, but in any event there will be no new stato ad- mitted before the presidential election. It is doubtless safe to predict that at the election of 1896 the only portions of the country whose people will not be able to vote for president will be the District of Columbin and Alaska. THE SOUVENIR HALF DOLLARS. The proposition to issue souvenir half dollar pieces in the sum of five million dollars, the amount asked from the gen- eral government for the World’s fair, has occasioned considerable debate among financial authorities, since 1t in- volves several important questions re- lating to the possible effect upon the treasury. A bill prepared by Represen- tative Duborrow of Chicago gives the secrotary of the treasury the option of two methods of issuing the half dollar pleces to be usod for admission fee pur- voses at the fair. One method is to pur- chase five million dollars’ worth of sil- ver bullion by the issue of treasury notes and the coinage of the bullion into souvenir pieces. This hus the advantage of making no draft upon the cash bal- ance in the treasury, for the printed paver would pay for the bullion. It is urged in opposition to the plan that it would be strictly a fiat meansure. be- cause the paper would have no basis of coin or bullion after the coins had been issued, since they are to be mere sou- venir pieces not intended for geneval circulation. Another proposition em- braced by the measure is the coinage of the worn fractional silver currency in the trtasury by a suitable appropriation to cover the cost of coinage. The objec- tion to this is that it would represent a recuction of the cash balance in the treasury by just the amount recoined, since it is 80 much available money in the treasury as it now stands. The only serious question raised in treasury circles is whether the coins is- sued under either of the plans proposed will actually be in demana as souvenir pieces, or whether they will ultimately find their way back into the hande of the government. But there appears to be no serious opposition to the idea of issuing the coins asked for and it is probable that the first of the two plans suggested will be adopted. THEY ARE TRUE TO HILL. The delegates to the democratic na- tional convention from New York who were appointed by the memorable Feb- ruary convention remain true to the cause of David Benuett Hill. There have been reports of defection among them. Before the May conyention in the interest of Mr. Cleveland’s candi- dacy it was said that some sof the Hill delegates were manifesting a disposition to abandon him, and since that conven- tion 1t has been alleged thet a number of them were certain to desert the cause of Hill before the Chicago convention assembled. They were prepared to go to Flower, to Whitney, to Gorman, the various reports stated. There was no truth in any of them. The evidence of this is in the action of a meeting of the delegates held Mon- day evening, at which it was resolved to adhere to the pledge to present the name of Senator Hill to the national convention and to “‘vote for him until he is nominated or as long as he will permit his name to go before the con- vention.” Seventy of the seventy-two delogutes were present, and there was but one vote against the resolution. The regularly chosen delegates from New York to Chicago, whom it is not seriously doubted the natlonal conven- tion will seat, are thus shown to be solid for Mr. Hill and determined to consider no compromise so long as he is in the field, the question of his remaining there to be decided by himself. The senator mado no mistake in the selec- tion of his supporters, so far as relates to the question of loyalty and devotion to his interests. ‘These men represent tho aggressive, fighting element of the New York democracy, and their deliberate resolve to firmly adhere to the man of their choice for president so long as he shall ask uheir support will have a decided influence. It is a distinct announcement of unckangeable hostility to Mr. Cleve- land, and it will tend for one thing to confirm the opinion of Mr, Watterson and other leadecs that it would be fatal to the party to nominate eithur of the New York candidates. It gives re- newed assurance of a hard und bitter fight at Chieago, with the probability that whatever the result the Empire state will bo most promising fighting ground for the republicans. — It 18 reported that a deal hasbeen practienlly closed by which the Illinois Central becomes the owner of the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas rail- roud for $25,000,000. The deal will be a good thing for the state of Illinois, it is claimed because it will increase the earnings of the Illinois Central, upon whlch the state receives 7 per cent. emm—— THE order from the War cepartment which sends fourtben troops of cavalry from the Department of the Platte to the scene of the cattle war in Wyoming seems to indicate a determination on the part of the governwment to preyent any or lawless acts in that quarter. There has of lat on a lullin the hostilities there, afl \ is expected that they will bo resumed in a worse form than before upon the opening of the roundup season, which is now etdse at hand, Recent scenes of bloodshed i Wyoming have shown that vigorous measures are neces: sary to repress thg waylike spirit of the rustlers and the cattle owners who have taken the war into fheir own hands. Doubtless some lives'sherificed in recent encounters betwedh “these men might have been saved' if'the troops now ordered into Wyoiiling had beon on the ground a few weeks ago. The force that has been ordered thence ought to be fully adeguate to moet all emergencies, Tue earl of [Lonsaule is tho most prominent patron of prize-fighting in England, and he is also a patron of thirty- eight church livings, When he is not too busy with pugilism he is considering the claims of preachers who wish to be appointed as spiritual guides in theso numerous parishe Lord Lonsdale appesrs to be u man of diversified tastes and abilities. In this country he could hardly be a patron of the prize ringand the church at the samo time. S——— THE oil kings evideatly feel that the sufferers at Titusville have some claims upon their sympathy. John D. Rocke- feller, the president of the Standard Oil company, has authorized the relief com- mittee to draw on him for $100,000. If every member of the company would do as well in proportion to his means the people of Titusville could build a new city ut once. CHAUNCEY M.
