THE way to compel the completion of the union depot without further deluy is to vote the bonus asked by the Nebraska Contral.

The wholesale houses generally will closound there will ba no delivery of freight by the railroads, but the retail merchants have uot largely shown o willluguess to respond favorubly to the mayor's request, It is to be hoped they wilt decide to do so, as it is desirable that nobody sball be denied the privi- loge of visiting the camp who may de- sire 10 doso.

Only republican dissension and defec tion ean prevent republican victory next November. With a united and harmon- fous party is nssured. Kvery consideration for the progress and wel- fave of the country demands that re- publicans shail forget all former differ- ences and close up the ranks. Tho party has a mission as important as any inits history. The reactionary politi cal enemy wus never more earnestly determined than now to complotely overturn, if given the power, the poli- cies which have enabled the country to realize the unparalleled and magnifi- cent material progress of the lust quar- terof o century and to piace the na- tional eredit higher than ever before in ous history. The democratic party is now assaiiing in congress the Amoricun system of protection, and the uvowed purpose of its most trusted leaders is to destroy that system if they shall ever have the opportunity to doso, The vatriotic duty of republicans is to rally to its support and defent the de- structive designs of its inveterate enemy. The democratic purty is in favor of o mone policy which would debase the currency of the country and reduce it to the single silver standard, with conse- quences incvitably disustrous to all busi- ness interests and to the financial credit of the government. Whatever course the national democratic convention may take regarding silver, the party is already commitied, by the votes of a large majority of its representatives in congress, tothe free and unlimited coin- age of that metal, and if it should attain to power the government would un- questionably adopt that pelicy. The duty of republicans is todo all in their power to avert this danger. The democrat ¢ party is hostile to the system of reeiprocity by which the for- eign commerce of the country has been increased within a comparatively brief time many millions of dollars, and fron: which a much greater incrense is as- sured if tie system is maintained. Rec- iprocity stands in the way of free trade, and therefore the democratic party an- tagonizes it. That party opposes the restoration of the nation’s merchant marine, so essential toa rapid exten- sion of our commerce with other na- tions and particularly the countries of this hemisphere, except at the sacrifice of American shipbuilding interests; it has arrayed itself against the construc- tion of a navy adequate for protection and defense; it has attacked the effi- ciency of the postal service by refusing necessary appropriations, and in every way the democratic party has planted itself squarely across the path of Amor- ican progress and threatens by its re- actionary purposes and tendencies to stop the march of the republic to the attninment of greater prosperity and power. In compar results The give success on with the great and patriotic duty of defeating this political organization and perpetuating repub- lican policy and principles, the minor differences among republicans are un- worthy of consideration. They should be forgotten in the presence of the pavamount demand for the con- tinuance in power of the party whose record in control of the government supplies one of the grand- est chapters of American history, and which can be trusted to fullfil its pledge to maintain every policy and principle upon which that record has deen made. A NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY LAW. The president of the Nebraska State Business Men’s association said in his annual address that he believed it would be a benefit to the business men of the state to have a national bankruptey law enacted. He suggested that a law is needed that would enable honest men who had met with misfortune to geta start in the world again “*without their former creditors standing on their necl:, financially speaking, all the time.” In this he doubtless voiced the opinion of a o majority of the business men of the state, many of whom have spoken to the sume effect through commereial organizations. In fact, this view pre- dominates in business cireles through- out the country, judging from the nearly unanimous expressions of boards of trade and other commercial bodies. These expressions, however, appear not to haveexerted much influence upon congress. Earlyin the present session a bankruptey bill was introduced in both the senate and the house, buv so far as kuown it has received no serious consid- eration in either house fromn the com- mittee to which it was referr. It was recently reported that the house com mittee contemplated giving the measure sowe attention and might report it at tho present session, but that there was not much probability that this would be done. Inthe sume connection it was said that the senate committee having the bill in charge had decided that there was little use in giving it any con- sidoration until the house did some- thing, the understanding being that there is very strong opposition to it in the lower branch of congress. It is to bo inferved from this statement of the situation that thore is very small chance of anything being aone tional rogarding na- bankruptey legislation at this fon of congress. Being purely a practical question, with no politics in it, it possesscs no ant interest for the congressional politicians. There hus buen a vigorous growth of public opinion within the past two or three years, mainly of course in business cireles, favorable to the enactment of o sound and just national bankruptey law, The law of some years ago was very de- feetive and its effect was to create a widesproud prejudice against such legis- lution, but time has effaced this feeling and now there are_comparatively few business men who have given the sub- jeet intelligent consideration who ure not in favor of a good natlonul law. It has beon found that having as many bunkruptey laws as there uve states does not result in securing justics to either creditors or debtors. A WORD WITH WAGEWORKERS. Every laborer and mechanic in Qmaha | should cast bis vote for the Nebraska Central proposition. The building of the Nebraska Contral bridge, together with the new depot, overhead rondway, | tunnels and teacks connecting the bridge with South Omuhs ment to thousands of workingmen for the next two years. The building of freight houses and sliops, and the opor- ation of the proposed transfer facilities will permanently employ hundreds of wageworkers. BBut this is not all. The assurance of thie great enterprise will stimulate cap- itnlists to invest in elevators, factories and mills which will employ an army of workingmen in their construction and will give stendy employment for hun- dreds, if not thousands, of skilled and unskilled working people. The bug- bear about the increased taxes should have no weight with intelligent work- ingmen who own their own homes. The tax on account, of the Nebraska Central bonds will boa mere trifle. It only amounts to 81.25 a_year for every picce of property assessed at $1,000. The average assessment is ono-fifth of the actual value, so that the workingman who owns u house and lot worth $2,600 will only pay 62 conts a year toward the Nobraska Central. This is not counting the tax which the city and county will receive from the Nebraska Central for its bridge, depot and other improve- ments But even if the tax were $10 on every $1,000 worth of property, it would be offset by the increase in value of all the property in Omaha and Douglas county by resson of the boom which is sure to follow. What is true of workingmen is true of all wageworkers. Iivery wageworker is interested in increasing the demand for labor in any direction, because wages are governed by the law of supply and demand. Give Omaha m railroads and factories and you will create an ac- tive demand for lubor, Instead of being adrug in the market at any price the employer is willing to pay, skilled and unskitled labor wiil be n demand and wages will go up to the top notch, Men who are employed by the Union Pacific, the Burlington,Missouri Pacific and the Northwestern are just as much interested in carrying the Nebraska Central bonds as any other class of vageworkers, The Nebraska Central will not decrease the number of working people or clorks now on the payroll of these roads, nor will it cause any de- crease of their wages. On the contrary, the competition that will follow the construction of the Nebraska Central will hold up the wages now paid and afford an opening for employment to men who may be crowded out by favor- itism or other causes. THE Board of Trade has passed a reso- lution requesting the city council to put on a sufficient force of men to fully re- pair the wooden pavements upon ull the principal business streets of the city. The request is timely, but the work of repairing the sidewalks shoula be made general, for there is no part of the city where it is not needed. Dilapidated plank sidewalks are the rule, and the impression made upon the minds of visitors is very bad, many of them re- garding the plank sidewalk at best with disfavor. A stronger reason for putting the walks in good condition is the dan- ger of injuries to persons for which the city will have to pay roundly. There can be no valid excuse for the wooden sidewalks being in the condition they are, and improvement in this matter ought to be prompt and complete. THE visit of a large number of mem- bers of the Masonic fraternity to Omaha during the third week of August will be one of the most interesting local events of the year. These distinguished guests of the city should be generously enter- tained, and Omaha could extend a lib- eral hospitality to no class of people more capablo of appreciating it, or whose good will and favorable report would be of greater benefit to the city. As already announced, provision has been made for the entertainment of the Mystic Shriners, but our citizens gener- ally will be asked to subscribe a fund sufticient for extending a proper hospi- tality to the commanderies of Knights Templar who will be here at the same time. There should be a ready and free response to this call, and it is confi- dently expected there will be. THE injunction to patromze home in- dustry is likely to be strongly impressed upon the minds of everybody who visits the Manufacturers exhibition. They will find there not only that a great many articles of general use are manu- factured in this state, but that they are made as honestly and ofas good material as like articles manufactured elsewhere. Why buy anything made a thousand miles distant from Nebraska when an article equally good and costing no more can be had with the trade mark of aNe- braska wanufacturer upon it? Al things being equal, it is manifestly the sound policy to patronize home indus- try. The people of Nebraskaare learn- ing this and the Manufacturers exposi- tion will do much to advance popular education in this respeet. —————— EVERY retail morchant in Omaha is vitally concerned in preventing the de- feat of the Nebraska Central proposi- tion. The building of the new bridge and union depot with the appronches and trackage facilities will infuse new life into Omaha. It will give employ- mént to thousands of working people and will put millions of dollars into cir- culation among the grocers, provision doalers, clothiers, dry goods merchants, furniture houses, und in fact every line of vrade from tho butcher to the boot- waker and hatter, THE orgamzed fight against the Ne- braska Central on the part of the cor- porations that now monopolize every avenue in and out of Omaha should open the eyes of our citizens to the fact that they could bester afford to vote $2,000,000 to the Nebraska Central than to allow the project to be defeated. ——— IN MANY regions bordering on the | Mississippl river extensive systoms for THE OMAHA DAILY BERE will give employ- | WD DAY, JUNE 15, 1892. draining the bottoms have boen in oper- | be beought to the full roalization that, al- ation for many ypabs.

Kansas City Times. By tho death of Colonel Polk, the farmers alliance loses a popular leader. Undoubtedly his nsmo would have been vory prominent at the Omaha convention had he lived. The people's party had determined to ignore the sectional question by placing his name on their ticket. It is noteasy to recall a sub- stituto from the south who will prove ac- ceptable to all factions. e gt Cooling the Rustlers, Philadelphia Enquirer. The placing of six companies of the rogular cavalry on the ‘rustlers” terri- tory in Wyoming catinot be called a negative action. It will clvhe‘ bave the effect of calming thoso excitablal gentlemen or stir- ring them up to further mischief. From what is known or their character it is moro than likely to haye the latter effect, but their outbreak then will be short-lived. It is the evident intention %fl:o administration to enforce order at dny cost, and any fresh hostilities will bring abaut the long expected declaration of martial Jaw. There will be peace after that. £ Bigger Than 06 Grandstre. Chicago Thmes. Itis high time to rotire that grandfathor’s hat under which satirists have represented Harrison as struggling.

Somo sonators have put in thoir appearance, including Mossrs, Gal- linger, Higgins, Hansborough, Stockbridge, Wolcott, Sawyer and Allen, but most of these wers on tho wrong side of the fight, and they positively refuse to express vneir opinion on the outcome of the convention to outsiders. Several parties have boen made up to leave Washington this woek to attend the Chicago convention, one leaving on Friday and atleast ono otheron the foilow- ing day. They will bo largely made up ot roprosentatives of the loval democracy, in- cluding tho two sets of delegates from' the District of Columbia to the convention and their friends. Among.the members of congress who will or Titw Brr, } accompany thom aro tho following: M. Lapham of Rhode Island, Messrs. William M. Springer, Scott, Wyke, Jumes R. Wil- liams and W. C. Nowberry of Illinois, and Mr. Caine of Utah and somo others. Mecting of Democratic Clubs, Mr, Lawrence Gardner, the secretary of the National Association of Democratio Clubs, which was organized July 4, 1888, will leave hore on Thursday for Cbicazo to make thoe necessary preparations for the meeting of that organization, which will bo hela in Chi- ©€ag0 on tho same day the convention meots, This subconvention consi of & committea of two from each state and territery and it has come to be considered quite un” impor ant auxiliary. What little polit talk thero 'has been hero today bad for its cemter the of the Ohio democrats, now meeting at Columbus. This 1s the last of the bic state conventions to select delogates and thero seems to be a very protty fight be tween the Cleveland and anti-Cleveland forces. Tho latest advico from Columbus 1n- dicates that Mr. Cleveland’s friends will not have things 89 much their own way as they have been claiming and the probabilitics now are that the Ohio delegation will be ovenly divided between the two factious. The gossip about Mr. Blaine's successor as the head of the State department continues, although there has been no indication thav the president has yet taken the matter under his_consideration. Speculation has tompo- rarily dropped the name of Minister Lincoln in this connection and taken up thatof William Walter Phelps of New Jorsey, the proseut representative of the country to the German empire. It Is pointed out in support of this suggestion that Mr. Phelps would be a source of strength to the president in his campaign, not ouly in New Jersey but in New York also, where he is very popular. Miscellancous, The forty-fifth annual session of the American Institute of Homeopatay, now meeting in this city, has brought togethor a larze number of the disciples of Halineman. Among those in attendance are Dr. W. H. Hanchett, editor of the Medical Record, and Dr. Amelia Burroughsof Omaka; Dr Charles Holapeter of Beatrice, Dr. A. P, Hunchett of Courcil Bluffs, Dr. A. C.” Cowperthwaite of Towa City, Ia,, and Dr. Stork of Denver, Colo. They are having a decidedly good time. Dr. W. H.

NEBRASKA'S GREAT SHOW. Visitors Have Their Eyes Opened by the Sights at the Collsenm. “fs this Chioago or Omahal” was the way a visitor exprossed his surprise at the extent of the Manufacturers exposition as he stood looking at the machinory in the Coliseum building Jast evening. It s not & very patriotio thing for mo to & added another strangor in the crowd. “but this certainiy boats our groat annual exposi- tion at Cincinnatl” As the crowd was in. terested tho Cinolnnati man explained that ho was taking & roundabout way home from the Minneapolis couvention and that the outerprise of the Nobraska manufacturers had nearly tukon bis breath away. At the Cinclonati expositions thoy show as much of manufactured goods, but they do 1ot chrry on the actual work of man- ufacturo. Tho crowd roved on only to have ite place taken by anothor. This timea 1oston gentie- man, another Minneapols delegato, did the talking and the psople pricked up thoir ears s they heard him romark, “‘Wouldn't my Boston frionds open thoir oyes if they know what vou westorn people were doing!’ He mado othor remarks, but thoy were drowned by the noise of tho wachine turning out barbed wiro at lightning rapidity. “Nebraska will not bave to apologize for this exposition,” said W, V. Morse, ‘Tt is the best thing 1 ever saw," said J. H. Platt of Creston, Ia., “and 1 have seon soveral pretly good things in my life, too.” Tho ocrowd at tho Colisoum was eminently o good-natured ono and the people all appearcd to feel that they wero gotting their money's worth, They crowded und jostled each other in the endeavor to get a good view of the machinery and the goods being manufaoct- ured, and it was noted that ladios who nevaer smoked a cigar in their lives or climbed a barbed wire fonce, wore apparontly ns much interested in thoso lines of manufacture as in anything olse. Several peopla wera heard to fnquire _why there was no music, but the noiso of tho which alinost drowned their ned to give tho reason. The man- ufacturers omployed a band on the opening night, but the musicians left in diseust, the leader romarking that nothing buta bass dram and bugle could bo heard 1n the midst of such a dia of machinery. President Page has prosoutod tho ofcers of the visiting military comoauies with com- plimentary tiokets of admission to the expo- sition. Joy Morton of Chicago, who is heavily in terostod in the Nebraska Citv Starch aud Coreal mills, was atthe exposition vesterday. Speaking of the pure food show 1 Now York city oconcerning which 8o much was satd in the papers at tho time, Mr. Morton remarked: *“The pure food show was gotten up by the Retail Grocors, associntion of Now Yorik and was oxclusively a food exbibit, The manufacturers of all kinds of cereal goods, flour, meal, ete., were tho principal oxhibitors, The show was held during Mareh in Lennox Lyceum, one of the finest extibition halls in New York City. It ran for thirty days, aud with an average attend- auce of over 5,000 peoplo per day. Thore was nothing shown from Nebraska oxcepting the product of tho Cudahy Packing com- pany, but their display thero w nothing compared with thewr exhibit at the present Omuha_exposition. The exhiits of No- braska flour, cereal goods, starch, ete., hore are much botter than anything atthe pure food show. Mrs. Judge Lake, who visited the bure food show, corroborated the statement that there wore no exhibits in the great New York exposition that could compare with the best displays in the Omaha Coliseum building. Mr. Morton remarked that ho had pmd close uttention to the work of ik BEE in the interest of home industries and that it was most commendable. More than one man was hoeard to romark I must bring the children here, they will learn more than they could in a moath at the best school in tho Expos Ono of tho smallest booths has thirty-five electric lights. A harness shop was started building yesterday. The *paint” house, which is much attention _will be a part os N exhibit at tho World’s fair. T box factory in the Coliseur is manufacturing puper boxes braska corncob pipe factory. Secretary Bradiey’s books show that 424 people are employed 1n the Coliseum build- ing, one half of whom arc operating wma- chinery. People who are Interested in pavinz ma- terial wili have a good opportunity to exams ine the quality of Nebraska paving brick at the Coliseum, The Nebraska Stato Business Men's asso- ciation, In session 1 Omaha at the prosent time, will attond the exposition in & body to- night. All Omaha jobbers and manufaoc- turers should be presert to help entertain them. Tho Bemis Omaha Bag company con- tracted yesterday for tho entiro output of cotton bagging of the Kearney cotton mill. The Kearuey cotton mill will also manufac. wure a good many other difforent grades of cotton cloth, The best time to visit the exposition s really during the davtime, as the crowd is atthe Coliseum ing so braska's building or the Ne- then much smaller and visitors can better - witness the work of manufacture. All the machiues are runuing from 10 o'clock in the morning until 10:30 in the evening, Thore is some comment on the absence from the exposition of prominent bankers, lawyers and professional men of Omaha, who Jike to see the wdustries of tho stato dovel- oped, as 1t brings money into their pockets, but do not ovon encourago by Lhor preseice ol the work of those who are striving to en! them, 129 blouse waists will In order Special prices will
