It proved a boom- erang four years ago when Harrison was comparatively a new mun, Now peoplo have come to realize that Ben is wbrainior man than any of his ances- tors. THE hue and cry that the Nebraska Central will never be built even il the bonds ure voted is gotten up for effect. If there was no probability of the road being built the hiring of a small army of mercenaries to work against the bonds would hardiy be justified on the purt of the opposition. Railroad man- agers don’t sqander thousands of dollars in fighting a phantom. Vote for the Nebraska Cenvral bonds, It 1s reported that the contract has been let for the construction of a rail- road from Yankton, S. D, to Norfolk, Neb., and that the road will probably be completed before snow flies. This will afford an outlet for grain and live stock to Omaha from the St James river valley and will fill a gap that Omaha has long wished to see filled. But this is not all, for it will probably compel the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha to construct o line from Huact- ington to Yankton by way of protecting its own interests. The connection now promised will be of great benefit to this city, ard it is to be hoped thut the prom- iso will be promptly fulfilled, THE enemies of the Nebraska Central in one breath ridicule vho 100-mile line into lowa, nod in the next seek to ais- credit the whole enterprise by pointing out the fact that no part of the county proposition is depsndent upon the build- ing of that live. Any mun of ordinary candor, how will see that if this branch of the scheme were a part of the county bond proposition the city would not vote bonds forit.’ In the eity prop- osition tho building of this line is made a condition precedent to the delivery of $100,000 of the $250,000 in bonds wsked for. Thero is neither, 1nconsist- ency uor want of frankness in the wat- ter. In both instances the lowa line is @ part of the general plan of the enter- prise, but only in the city proposition does its consiruction earu avy pars of the proposcd subsidy. OMANA AGAINST OMAITA. No city in America is more advan- tageously situated or possesses greater advantages as a'commercial and indus- trial centar than Omann. She is in the heart of the great corn belt, with amost productive region tributary to her. Sho has ubundant home capital that could make her a city of half a million peoplo within ten yoars if it were centered upon entorprises and projocts that would enormously increnso her traffic aad manufactures, But whenever any proposition that promises to promote the growth of Omaha 18 hefore her people Omaha nearly always is divided by selfish mal- contents and mossbacks. The wmen who have amassed enormous fortunes in Omaha by sitting on their haunches waiting for the rise in real estate by the entorprise of peoplo of moderato means are always playing dog in the manger. Men who have grown rich out of franchises which the poo- ple have voted without price and mon who have thrust their greedy maw into the public treasury on every occasion wheun the people were disposed to vote away bonuses never join with the people for the common good unless they are the principal beneficiaries. Omaha never will grow and never can prosper so long as Omaha remains arrayed against Omaha. There never was o tme so opportune for administering & rebuke to the greedy, selfish Omahog ns there will It is high time also for s to strike a telling blow at the traitors und oundrels who for a mere petty advantage would sacrifice Omaha’s interests and leave her bottled up ana at the mercy of tho most un- that scrupulous monopoly has dominated over a city. ever THE PEOPLE'S PARTY CONVENTION. In less than three weeks the national convention of the peoplo’s party will meet in Omaha. Tt will be vhe largest convention of the year, the number of delegates being nearly oqual to. the total number in both the republican and demoeratic national conventions, It will attract to the city, at a moderate estimate, 25,000 visitors. As yot thore has been practicully no progress made in the preparations for this convention. A great deal of rd work is to be done and . sum of money raised suflicient to carry out the assur- ances given in behalf of Omaha when the selection of this city as the place for holding the convention was sought. It is time the people wore avoused to a recognition of their duty in this mattor. We have a contract to carry out, and 1f we fail the city will suffer in the good opinion of people from all parts of the country and there will be a loss of pres- tige which it will not be easy to recover. We can offer no excuse for not keeping our contract, or atany rate no excuse which we might offer would be accepted by tho disappointed delogates whom wo have promised to take proper -care of. There is presented the opportunity to demonstrate thut Omaha cin entertain such ncrowd as a political conyention draws and that there are the liberality ana public spirit here to provide for conventions. It should bo so weil im- proved that when hereafter this city iters into competition for any lar, semblage she can furnish the ovidence of her ability and willingness to prop- rly entertain it. A meeting of the committees to ar- range for the people’s parly convention and of citizens generally is called for this afternoon at 4 o’clock, at the Cham- ber of Commerce, and it is t0 be hoped iv will bo largely attended by citizens who are in a position to do something practical. The time is short in which to accomplish what is necessary and there must be no further delay. It would be a misfortune to the city to per- mit any default in this matter of provid- ing for the convention that will meet here July 4. THE SUCCESS OF RECIPROCITY. Reciprocity, if not made an issue in the coming campaign, will occupy a prominent place in the discussion of politics., The republican national con- vention made a strong declaration in favor of the policy. Undoubtedly the democratic national convention will pro- nounce ngainst it. Muny of the leaders of the democracy he veady done so, and, s reciprocily directly antagonize: the democratic policy of free trade, it is most reasonable to expect that the na- tional platform of that party will be un- compromisingly hostile to it. In opposing this policy the demoeratic party will be at a very great disadvan- tage, because it will be confronted by facts showing the success of reciprocity which cannot be disputed. tatistics just made public are very instructive as evidence of thoe benefits that have already resulted from reciprocity, The agreement with Germany hus been in operation only a little more than four months, and among thke articles which have been admitted into that country from the United States at reduced rates of duty nre breadstuffs. In three months the total value of corn, wheat and wheat flour exported from this country to Ger- many was nearly $6,000,000, about eighteen times as much us was exported during the corresponding moaths of lust year, and over 2,000,000 4n excess of the vilue of the exports of breadsturfs to Gormany for the entive year of 1891, This indicates that from Germany alone there will be an increased demand for products of the American farmer amounting in a single year to at least $24,000,000, The success of reciprocity in incrensing the exports of breadstuffs from the United States to Cuba has been no less remarkable. During the first four monthsof this year this country exported to the Cuban murket corn and wheat flour to the value of over a million dol- lars, the increase over the corresponding period of lust yenr being 530 per vent, and the amount being cousiderably in excess of the value of those commodities exported to Cuba for the entire year of 1801 There has been u very consider- able incronse, also, in other articles which under the reciprocity agreement with Spain ure admitted into Cuba free of duty or ai greatly reduced rates. In & word, the exports of the United States to Cuba have more than doubled in amount under rociprocity, and the greater part of this gain benefits our agricultural producers. In the face of facts of this kind, which cannot be controverted, opposi- tion to reciprocity will hardiy gain favor from the intelligent voters of the coun- try. Denouncing ns a humbug and a sham u policy that has produced such highly satisfactory results will have no weight with thoughtful and practical mon who are capable of understanding and appreciating the meaning and value of figures. Especially will the ngricul- tural producers of the country, in whose interest the policy of reciprocity was in- stituted ana who are its principal bene- ficlaries, reject the democratic opinion itis a ‘“deadly policy.” The re- publican party will welcome the fullost discussion of reciprocity, confident of its ability to show by argument and by in- disputable facts that it is a wise and a winning policy. A PARTY of excursionists to the Manu- facturers exposition will arrive from Beatries today, and on Saturday a rep- resontative body of the citizens of Ne- braska City will” come to Omaha. Iix- cursions to the exposition are being arranged for from Lincolnand Fremont, the dates of which have not been fixed, but which will doubtless tuke bl early next week, These visitors may bo assured of a most cordial welcome from the people of Omuhn, whoso desitp is to cultivate the most friendly relations with the poople of all the state. In this respect Omaha has tho trus metropols itan instinct. She is proud of the progress and prosperity of her sistor citios, ant receives with gladness overy evidence of industrial growth coming from Nebraska towns. The people of Omaha understand that their welfare is identical with that of the whole state and that there can bo no growth af where 1n the benefit of which Nel metropolis will not share to somo ox tent. They are loyal to overything that is Nebraskan. The excursionists from the thriving and progressive cities of our great state will find Omaha mor attractive than over before and its people prepared to show them every consideration and court 0 Grover CLeve AND is said by his friends to bo a “‘man of destiny.” Ye: s destined to be kunocked out twice by the same man.

Neb,, Juno 15.—[Special to Tnr Bee. | —~Today the twenty-first annual com- mencement exercises of tho Nobraska State university were held, The preliminary ox- ercises have been in progress day and even ing for a wiek past, but it was not unti today that the graduating students received their diplomas. Tais morning at U:45 the facuity, rogonts, alumai, graduates and stu- dents formed on the university campus &nd marched to the Funi opera house. The com- mencement exercisos were opened by a selec- tion from the uuiversity band. Rev. O. A. Wilhams mada the iuvocation and, after another plece of musfo, this time from the university orchestra, Rov. Dr. Willard Scott of Chicaro deliv- ered the comumencoment oration, taking for his themo the unity of the American peoplo. He traced the history of the United States from the revolution and the adoption of the constitution, through the late rebeliion and down to the present time, and he showed how our position among the great nations of the earth was the resuit of the establishment of individual rights, 1In the earlior history of our national cxistence America was | nored. As our natiofial prowess was de- veloped wo were feared and then respocted. To be respected, be said, was greator than to be feared. Tho story of Amorica, said Dr. Scott, was the story of her indiviaual men. Individu- ality wus thoe secret of our national success. He illustrated this fact by tolling the_story of the mutiny on board the Sunta Maria, which Columbus quelled by bis individaal personality. Turaing from the progress of material America to the progress of intel- lectual America, Dr. Scott said that nothing was more marked than the decline of atheism. The word “atheism® is rapidly becoming lost and in the next edition of the dictionary it: would be marked *obsolete.” Skeptics now-a-days wish to bo agnostics because thoy don't know what the word means. Neitner does auy one else. Speaking of education he said that a collego should be known by its work for the student. A liberal education should precede special study. Will Build a Viaduet. Thelong-talked-of viaduoton I street over the B, & M. uud Union Pacific tracks 15 a fair way to bo constructed at once. Last night the railvoad companies maao a propo- sition to the city council in which they agreed to construct a twent; ve foot via- duct at once with a six-foot walk on either side, provived the city would vacate tho street under the viaduct and settle all claims for aamages to abutting property. The city council accopted the proposition and ap- vointed a committes with power to enter into a contract with the railroad companies. Today the commigtee reports that all of the interested pro nréy owners are willing to de- fer the claims fort tamages ustil aftor the construction of t4e yisduct, with tho excep- ton of one propestywner, who is absent in Europe. Arrestda for Swindling. A sharpor who gave his name as E. O. Jones was arrested at the Burlington depot his morning upon complaint of Max Frieden, a Russian Jew, who has been a resident of this country but a few months. Fricden fell in with Jones over in fowa while travel- ing as a peddier, Joues told him a tempting story of an enterprisp by, which both. could make a barrel of mapey. Carried aivi by the plausable stogy, Frieden turned over to Jones §175 in cash'#nd his team and wagou. Arriving in Lincoln Jone&gave Frieden the slip, but was arrested atthe depot. He re- turned all the property to #rieden, who re- fused to prosecute. . J Harry Hall Agafn in Trouble, Harry Hall, the Nebraska convict who was pardoned on the oceasion of the celebra- tion of Nebraska's silver anniversar, month, is again in troublo and likely to serve another term behind the bars. When re- leased from the Nebraska ponitentiary Hall made the acquaiatanca of Mrs. stor, @ young woman of easy virtuo who lived at 23 Pstrect. She was then tho mistress of a ckman, but becoming iutatuated with Hall ricd her lover and went to Kansas City with the recently liberated convict. Mrs. [Foster was u tati, handsome woman, and her triends tried to dissuado her from ber pur- pose of goinz away with Hall, warning her that she might expect crouble. Word comes from Kansas City that after living_togother a week Hall triod to kill her. He is now under arrost. Tampered With the Mails, John Patterson, a stock dealer living near Rarmond, in this county, was arrested last ovening for tampering with the United States mails and taken before Commissioner Billingsley, who held him to the federal court fixing his bond at 8500 Patterson wan ted to discover what prico a rival stock dealer named Blodgett was getting for cactlo shipped to South Umaha.
