JUDGING by the indications at the Col- iseum yesterday all of the exhibitors will be prepared for the opening of tho state exposition on the 11th instant. There appears to be no ground for the fear that delays in the preparations will prevent a successful opening.

THE better cl almost the whole northern peoplo vigorously condemn the recent lynching inthat town. A strong effort is being made to seture the arrest and punishment of the rough and lawless men who participated in the affair, and there seews to be a general determina- tion to mete out justice to the offenders and put an end to mob law in the north. Lot the south follow this example. es of Port Jervis and pross and FOURTEEN hundred men are em- ployed in the railroad shops in this city. No less than 10,000 parsons are depend- ent upon the railroads for a livelihood. The money they spend for tho neces- survies of life is of direct benefit to the retail merchants.

That will all depend upon the enforcement of the law. If ways of evading its provisions are found, the situation will be unchanged and the furmor will not bo benolited. Sp—— A CORRESPONDENT complains that the street ¢ conductors are insolent and inatientive, An effective remeody for this might casily be found if the patrons of the cars would indignantly resent such trestment on the spot and “eall dowa” the men who are guilty of it. The pnssengers themselves are to blume in a measure. They are oo apt to submit meekly instead of making the conductors understand that they are the servants of the passengers for the time being and bound 10 serve them politely and well. However, the insolent condue- to+ 'v *he exception and not the rule. CLEVELAND'S ZEALOUS FRI The New York supporters of Mr. Cleveland are said not to have abated any of their activity since the May con- vention. On the contrary they are zeal- ; working for the cause they have at heart and ave carrying on a most vig- orous campnign. Fvery delegate to the Chieago convention has had sent to him printed documents explaining the situa- tion in the Empire state and setting forth why Cleveland was defeated and Hiil elected on tho same day. They 150 sont out a table, understood to red by Mr. Don Dickin- son, pos*master general in the Cleve- land administration, showing the strength the ex-president will have in the national convention. According to thisstatement, with the additions to the Cleveland forces that have been made since it was prepared, he will go into the convention with more than two- thirds of the delegates pladged to him. It is always expedient, however, not to put too much faith in estimutes of this kind, and it is not particularly to the advantage of such a statement that it comes from Mr. Dickinson, who has a more or less decided tendency to put forth exaggerated claims, Tt is to be confessed, howeyer, that the situation at present appoars so favorable to Mr. Cleveland as to warrant the confidence of his friends and to justify his own be- lief, according to reports, that he cannot be defeated for the nomination. It is unquestionuble that he has a majority of the delegates thus far chosen, and if these are steadfast in their allegiance to him the contest in the convention, while it may be prolonged, is more than likely to terminate in his favor. It is always to be borne in mind, how- ever, that the aspect of the situation be- fore the meeting of a political conven- tion may be very materially changed after the delegates get together and there is a full and free interchange of views, When the delegates who are now confidently counted for Mr. Cleve- land get to Chicago and come into con- tact with the aggroessive representation of Tammany and the uncompromising supporters of Hill it is altogether possi- ble that some of them may change their minds regarding the expediency of again making Clevelana the standard bearer of the party. At any rate he will hardly be permitted to carry off the prize without a struggle, as some of his ardent supporters are now predict- ing will Le the case. UFFERERS! the unfortunate people who suffered by the flood of burning oil et Oil City, Pa., will be promptly taken care of hy the charitable people of their own state. Relief funds are rapidly flowing into the stricken towns and the committees having the work in charge are taking all necessary steps for the amelioration of the wratched conditiou of the suffer- ing people. T'here could be no more shocking dis- aster than that in which fire and water joined their destructive powers at Oil City. Such sceres as were there wit- nessed awaken sympathy and compas- sion everywhere, and it often happens that the victims of such calamities are more promptly aided than those who suffer by disasters less sensational in their nature. The Pennsylvania suf- ferers have received financi assist- ance from all quartecs of the country, and this is proper and right; but those who have been deprived of their homes and their means of livelihood in the flooded districts of the Mississippi valley bave not roceived such prompt atten- tion, 1t is understood that many of the flood sufferers in the great district referred to are yet in need of help. Many ot them have lost their homes and every means of subsistence and are now de- pendent in great measure upon the charity of the country. They have re- ceived some help, but they will need more. While the Oil City people who are in need should be promptly attended to, it is to be hoped that those who have money and food to give wiil not forget the wretched people who have suffered by the floods along the Mississippi and its tributaries. The disasters by which they were afflicted were not of such a sensational nature as the Oil City hor- ror, but they can feel the pangs of han- ger as keenly as if they had suffered by fire instend of water. They should not be forgotten inthedistribution of money and provisions. ILLEGAL 1MM.GRATION. A Dbill has been reported in both branches of congress to facilitate the en- forcemont of the present immigretion and contract labor laws. It is under- stood that this mensure is only prelim- inary to a further bill soon to be framed, the effoct of which will be to reduce to aminimum the number of emigrants de- parting from foreign countries who are not entitled to admission into the United States, The purpose of the proposed bill is to secure certain changes 1n the methods of administering the existing laws of exclusion, the most important of which requires the steamship companies to prepare on the other side of the ocean deseriptive lists of the immigrants for the use of the inspectovs on this side. The idea is that this can be more care- fully and effectively done by the steam- ship company before the immigrant goes aboard, and would disclose many facts not now discovered until the immi- grant’s arrival here. ¥ There appears to be no reason to doubt that these changes would work satisfactorily. Senator Chandlor, chair- man ot the senate commitiee on immi- greavion, who has given this wholo sub- ject, the importance of which is very groat, most carelul investigation and study, is doubtless to be credited with formulating the proposed legislution, which it is not to be doubted would be fur more effective than the plun of con- sular inspection that has been sug- gested, With the respousibility thrown upon the steamship companies of rejects iug emigrants belonging to the classes oxcluded by our laws, under such pen- alties for violating the regulations us congress may prescribe, there is renson to balieve thuta very thorough super- vision would be exercised,by the com- panies, with the result of reducing toa winimum the number of emigrints de- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE parting from foreign countries who are not entitled to admission into this coun- try. Asa matter of fact the stenmship companies are already exercising greater care than ever before in matter, and there has been less coms plaint during the past year than for many years befors regarding the com- ing into the country of immigrants of the forbidden classes. Immigration thus far in the present year bas been heavy, and it is to bo ex- pected that it will continue to be. The greater prosperity of the United States as compared with any of the countries of Burope is the chief incentive to this enlarged emigration, but next year the World's fair will be an inducement to the departure from Ruropean countries of _the criminal classes, in expectation of a rich harvest in the new world, and hence it is important and necessary that the greatest precautions be taken to keep the lawless class out. The pro- posed legislation is intended to do this and congress ought to enact it at the present session. MAKING PROGRESS. The campaign in behalf of the Ne- braska Central project is progressing most favorably. On every hand the signs strongly indicate the success of the proposition at the polls. The pre- dominant sentiment at the meeting of southside citizens Wednesday evening was significant evidence of the growth among the people of the proper feeling that this is nota matter to be considered in any sectional .aspect, but upon the broad ground of benefits to the entire community, The narrow view that the consummation of this enterprise would be to the ndvantage of only a portion of the city is no longer being urged by men of any intolligenco and responsibility, because the sophistry of such a proposi- tion is obvious. Practical men know that what benefits one part of the city must be an advantage to the entire com- munity, and the utter absurdity of the pretense that a great permangnt im- provement, involving at the outsot an expenditure of saveral million dollars and assuring a steady outlay for the em- ployment of labor and in maintaining facilities, will not be for the general good is too plain to aeceive anybody. The simple truth is that the aggres- sive opposition to the Nebraska Central project is prompted either by narrow motives of selfishness or by influences that are proverbially hostile to the upbuilding of Omaha. Some of the loudest opponents of the bond proposi tion are moved solely by the considera- tion of the few dollars additional taxes they will be required to pay, but the more vociferous and persistent antag- onism comes from those who are inter- ested in or under the dictation of the corporation which'enjoys the monopoly of railway bridge facilities into Omaha. It is from this latter source that most of the sophistical arguments against the pro- ject proceed, and it is hardly necessary to say that this class of persons are doing in a covert way a great deal of hard work in directions where it is ex- pected to do the most good. Ona of the most promising signs in connection with the campaign is the growing interest of the workingmen in the project. No class of the community is more concerned in the progréss and prosperity of Omaha than the wage- workers, many of whom have little homestends which they naturally desire shall grow in value. The intelligent men of this class will have no difficulty in secing that their intarests would be advanced by the success of the Nebraska Central project. There are but five days more in which active work can be done in behalf of the bond proposition, and its friends should make good use of every hour of that time. Meotings should be held in every quarter of the city and the proposition carcfully and thoroughly discussed. The supporters of the project have nothing to fear from discussion. The practical and valid arguments are all on their side. The efforts they are making are ustified by every consideration that counts for the future welfare of Omaha It isa work in which every man sincerely loyal 1o the best interests of this city ought to heartilyand zealously engage. PROPOSED GERMAN CONSULATE, The movement to secure the estab- lishment of a German consulate in Omaha is amply justified by the fact that this is the natural center of a great and rapidly growing German population extanding over a wide territory. The petition endorsed by Governor Boyd, the mayor of this city and many others and presented by Senator Manderson to the German minister at Washington will undoubtedly ecommand attention, and it is reasonable to hope that the consulate will be establishad. If the services of a consul would be useful anywhere they would be so to tho 250,000 Germans who reside in Ne- braska, Iowa, Colorado, Wyoming, North and South Dakota and Idaho, and there is no other city in this great distriot, 80 extensively occupied by Ger- man settlers, that would be so well suited for a headquartors as Omaha. These states are rapidly filling up with new arcivals from Germany who would find many advantages in such a bureau as is . oposea. The need of it will be felt mor > and more as immigration to the new and fruitful west increases. The growth of immigration is sure to be greater as the knowledge of what the west offers is extended in Europe from year to year, If the consulate would be useful now it would be much raore so five years hence. The movement de- serves to succeed. ONE of the most prominent figures in the history of the Union Pacific rail- road, Sidney Dillon, is dead. He was twice president of that corporation, having been chosen on both occasions upon the suggestion of Juy Gould, whose methods and policy he faithfully carried out. Mr, Dillon was, during his life, largely engaged in railroad construction in various parts of the country, and per- hups no ovher man of his time was more extensively identified with importunt enterprises of thischaracter, His name will always be prominently associated with the history of railroad progress in this country. ———— THE American Carpet and Upholstery TYvade is u newspaper whose views con this | JUNE 10, cerning business matters aro of some consequence.

The New York papers join very heartily in condemning the Port Jfervis Lynching, but the Herald voices unguestionably a widely prevalent public sentiment when it cails attention to the fact that there have been recently a good many crimes of the character of that which the mob nynishea so terribly, and closes with the suggestion that ‘‘there will be ample cpportupity for some months to come for the women of Port Jervis to go abroad without an armed guard to proteot them from nsult.” | scao i e Congressionh] Frand, Phitadelphia Timics (ind. dem.). The fraud upon the public involved in the congressional “leava to print” is remarkably illustrated in a pamphletiof sixty-four pages that comes free through tho'mails, as ‘‘part of the Congressional Record,” under the frank Tom L. Johuson, M. C. It coutains just three pages from the Congressional Record, the rest of itis a book by Henry George called “Protection or Free Trade!” Mr. Johnson and five other congressmen divided this book among them and eacn had bis section printed *'as his own remarks” on the tariff discussion. No doubt it is better written and at least as well considered as any original speeches would have been, but this plun of getting a book printed and oir- culated as & campaign document, at public expense, is clearly fraudulent. Sucha violent strotch of the privileze ought to put an end to the custom of granting Jeave to print what has not been and could not be actually de- tivered. - e Munlcipal Politics. “The tendency in this country is to con- centrate municipal suthority in & few hands,” says Moorfield Storey in the Juue New Evgland Magazine. *“in Glasgow and Birmingham the best results areachieved by enlisting a large number of avle citizens and dividing the work among them, scme taking charge of sewers, others of lights, others of water, ete. It makes little difference which systom provails if only good men are in duced to do the work, Make it in popular estimation as great a tribute to a man’s busi- ness ability to make lun an alderman as it is to make bim a director of a bauk or rail- road, and pen will be’ glad to take positions in the city goverament, Make it, as it 1s to- day, rather @ questionable distinction to bo prominent in city politics, and except the few whose public spirit leads them to do a disagreeable public duty or whoss ambition makes them take municipal offico as tne first step in public life, the men who hold city office will do neither their city nor them- selves any credit, If your city officors are bad men we cannot have too few. Of alder- men or councilmen who intrigue for patron- age or consider ouly what their votes or in- fluence in the city legislaturo can be made to yield, the fower we have the botter, “Ouce persuade the people that the gov- ernment of & city is & wero matter of busi- ness and induce vhom to treat 1t as such, and municipal reform is assured.” e ODDS AND ENDS.

Barrivons, Md, June —Cardinal Lo- dowski, oardinal prefect of the prop- agands, has addrossed & most important lotter to the bishops of the United States concerning the election of bishops in this country. The lottor is datea May 15, 1892, The following is the sabstanco: The cardinal animadverts on the wondor- ful growth and prosperity of the Catholle church in this conntry and praises the hier- archy for thetr enorgy and zoal. His eminence says bio shares with the bishops thoir solici- tude and, hence, is moved to direct their at- tention to a very serious threat of abuse in the election of bishops. His eminonce of the propaganda refers o the letter of Cardinal Rampolla on the samo sub- ject, under dato of July 4, 1801, The abuse spocifiod is that which has arisen among clergy and Inity of intorforine in the election of bishops by devreciating the mer- its of candidates to whom they® arc opposed and extotling those whoso olection they de- sire, and especially tho furthier abuse of oach faction or nationality trying to force tha election of thoir conationaiists. This lettor £0€s On 10 say thgt the methods of election are clearly defiaed in tho decrees of the vari- ous councils, and especially of tho third plenary council of Baltimore, and_insists that the letter of these docrees must be pre- served whole and inviolate, “‘While the apostolic see,” says the letter, ““has the interest of the chureh alone in view as nplmiumnk the bishops for the Christian flock in the world at largo, it is moro spec- ially influenced by this considoration in naming tho bishops for the United States, where immigrants from different nations by adopting that county as_their own are ac- copted into one people and form, conse- quently, but one nation." S Sl TIMBER FIRKS THREATEN CREEDE, ited States All the Miners Out Fighting Back the Florce Flames, Creepe, Colo, June 9.—A timber fire broke out on Bachelor mountain yesterday afternoon and has done great damage.

A largo force of men from the mines have been out fighting the fire around the mines and it is thought the build- ings can besaved. Much uneasiness is felt in the towns. A change in the directlon of tho wind is likely to burn Bachelor City.
