TiE Nebraska democrats will return from Chicago wondering what they went for, anyhow, PREPARE to decorato your houses on the Fourth. Tt will make strangers think you are patriotic, which you are, of course. ThE color of the democratic hat for this campaign has not been decided as yet. It is cortain, however, that it will not be Gray. TiE Dixon execution will be a more wffective temperance lesson than all the wormons, lectures and prohibitory laws over produced. THE most ridiculous feature of the whole campaign is the New York Sun supporting Cleveland because of a fear of the “force bill.” ONE gambling house is no botter than another. The people of this city demand v0 know why the police department has eretofore diseriminated against one or snove houses in favor of another. FOUR years ago the schocl population o/ South Omaha was 800 and the num- ber of teachers employed was four. The Magic City today has 2,700 sciiool chil- dren and thirty teachers, Theso are suggestive figures. DR GEORGE L.

The address of Governor McKinley was in his ablest vein and overy sentence was punctuated with applause. The en- thusiasm of that meeting was that of a party confident of victory. A LINCOLN paper has been sued by ex-Mayor Graham of that eity for pub- lishing a statement to the effect that the mayor had accepted money from gum- blers during his term of office, The $20,- 000 demunded may be a fair measure of damages, but what is to be done in be- half of the ruined reputations of the gumblers? ) THERE were 842 sturdy voters against tho free trade plunk in the democratic platform and 564 for it, The negative votes were almost wholly protectionist votes, coming from the great states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, California, Connoctio: Virginia and Wisconsin, This indicates how the party was divided on the taciff. The democratic party cannot carry New Jor- soy and Connecticut on a free trade plat. form. Er—— THERE is o better renson und u greater necessity for profuse and artistic house decoration the coming Fourth than ever before in tho history of Omaha. The people’s convention will be called to order on the Fourth; there are 1,776 delegates entitled to seats in it, and the grand celebration by citizens will call for an unlimited display of flags and bunting. The principal streets, and especiaily all public buildings, should be ablaze with the national colors, the aemo: OMAHA DAILY BE 1 8A TURDAY, A DIVIDED HOUSE. Notwithetanding that the democracy enters upon this eampaign loudly pro- claiming thatthe tariff is the issue upon which the battle batween the two great parties is to be fought, it is impossible to concenl the fact that the democratic party is itself divided upon this very issue. The vigorous antagonism at Chicago between those who favored and those who opposed the tariff plank as it appeared in the majority report of the committee on resolutions very plainly exhibited the difference of opinion pre- vailing in the party as to the wislom of utterly ropudiating the protective iden. As the democratic tariff plank now stands it commits the party to a policy that harmonizes with the views of free traders and commands their unqualified approval, but all who are familiar with tho action of the convention upon this point are aware that it was not adopted without a spirited contest. Therofore it cannot be taken as an expression of the sentiments and convictions of the democratic party in any such sense as the ublican tariff plank is an expres- sion of the views of those who constitute that party. On oneside there is perfect ugreement upon a taritf policy now in force and repeatedly approved by tho votere at the polls: on the other side there is division and half-heartednoess concerning the subject, and 1f it were not absolutely necessary for the demo- crats to resort to the tariff as the only issue aval a majority of them would undoubtedly oppose the position that was taken at Chicago. Tt is interesting to note how violently the democratic platform nssails the re- publ’can tariff position, while a very large number of the Chicago delegates are on record in opposition to the tavift plani there adopted. Tt will require a great denl of earnest missionary work to mike the democratic y aunit in opposition to the present protective policy, to say nothing of the tremendous efforts that will have to be made for the conversion of republicans. Ivis evident that the undertaking to which the de- mocracy has addressed 1tself is one of appalling propor Political prose- Iyting, like charity, begins at home. Considering all the burdens it is obliged to carry it is rather sad to see y enter the campaign so pitifully handicapped by internal di- visions It is impossible to beliove thut intelli- gent voters who have nov on this subject, assuming that there can be any such, will be convinced that a party that cannot “‘get together” on a fixed and definito policy concerning the tariff is fit to be entrusted with power to meddle with the matter, They will prefer to 1ot well enough alone. ons, LARMED. s appear to be somewhat alarmed at the suggestion of the president that the. time bas come when the United States should adopt retaliatory measures unless the Cana- dian government abandons its diserim- ination against American vessels in the canals of Canada. Disy hes ve- port unoasiness in business circles, par- ticularly among railrond offleials whoso compunies enjoy privileges of great value allowed them by the Unitod States and which they would be de- prived of in case of retaliation. Of course members of the Dominion gov- ernment deny that théve is any ground for the charge of discriminatvion, assert= ing that our vessels are treated on equal terms with those of Canada in the canals of the Dominion, but President Harrison is not in the habhit of making statements to congress that he cannot verify, and it is a familiar fact that complaints of discrimination have been made to our government for years. The attention of the Dominion gov- ernment has been more than once called to these complaints, but they have never received any serious consideration, and this toleration of an injustice which violates treaty obligations has gone on s0 long that the Canadian government sdems to have concluded that there was no necessity for concerning itself about the matter. The present administra- tion, however, is looking after the inter. ests and rights of American eitizen and it will insist upon protecting them in this matter to the full extent of its authority. A resolution has been intro- duced in the senate relating to the sub- ject brought to the attention of congr by the recent communication of the president, and while it is hardly prob- able that any action will be taken at the presents session, if the Canadian government does not show between now and nsxt December a disposition to remedy the wrong complained of it must be prepared to accept the conse- quences. The adoption of retaliation is not to be desired, but if nothing else wili socure the fair and just treat ment of our citizens tho country will ap- proveitr CLEVELA) £ SOLDIERS. The union soldiers of the country have no reason to feel friendly toward Grover Cleveland. Oage of the members of the New York delegation in the Chi- 2o convention said that the nomina- tion of Cleveland would ulienate from the democratic party in that state 25,000 veterans, In every northern state there are old soldiers whose political affilin- tion is with the democracy who will not vote for the man who persistently vetoed pension mensures and did all he could to bring the pension system of the country into disrepute. These old soldiers cannot forget the efforts of Grover Cloveland to deprive them of the just bouniy of the govern- ment and to create a atiment in the country hostilo to the granting of pen- slons. They remember bills disapproved by him, admioistry the scores of wmaking his ion memorable in the his- tory of the country for the number of its votoes, and they understand the real motive that prompted this action. Mr. Cloveland never had any real sympathy with the appeal of the union soldiers to tho country to attest 1ts gratitude for the services they had rendered by mal- ing just provision for those unable to provide for themsolves ard widows und orphans. He was never a friend of the pension systow and his hostility to it increased under the influence of the opposition in that section of the country where the number of union veterans is not large, for their } and the old soldiers irrovacanly devoted | tothe demooratic party have no claim upon the bounty of the government | which they fought to overthrow. It was | not in tha interest of justice or of | economy that Grover Cleveland' ar- | rayed himself against the pension policy { of the republican party and to tho | extent of his opportunities and his | authority sought to discredit that poliey, but a bid for the faver of the democratic party of the south. There is little reason to doubt that had he possessed the power not a vestige of the pension system would have remained at the close of his admi nistration. There are living a million of union veterans, and it is safe to say that very fow of them will vote o again place Mr. Cloveland in the presidential office. If there bo any among them who think that the government should not care for the men who preserved it, that it is not the duty of the nation to provide for its defenders ~and it is possible there are some such —they will doubtioss vote for the demo- eratic candidate. But all who believe that a grateful people should manifest their gratitude by making generous provision for the men whose loyalty and patriotism and courage saved the union and preserved her ropublican institu- tions, who believe that such devouon and sacrifice is entitled to the reward which a great and woalthy people can afford 1o bestow, will cast their votes and exert their influence for the repub- lican candidate, who was himsslf an able and brave soldier, and whose sym- vathies have ever been with the just claims of the union veterans to the gen- erous care of the country. As between Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleve- | land, no old soldier who has at heart the welfare of himself and his deserving comrades should hesitate a moment in making choice. CLOSE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. The school year of the public schools of Omaha has come to an end and the 300 teachers ana 15,000 children who for the past ten months have heen pur suing their arduous tasks will enjoy a period of rest and recupsration. The summer vacation is n welcome period to all of them, for to both teachers and pupils school duties and school life get to he tiresome, and thero is a fecling of velief in being released from 1ts daily cactions v is exhilarating. For the next two months rigid rules of dis- pline will be laid aside, there will be no urgent necessity for taking note of time, and educator and scholar will be invigorated by the tonic of freedom. It is to be hoped that all will fally enjoy it. s opportune for saying that no city in the country has a more farthful and conscientious body of teach- ers than Omaha. The evidence of this is found in the high standing of the schools of thiscity, which rank with the very best in the country. It is a grati- fying fact that a large proportion of the publie school teachers of Omala ve- ceived their education here, ana it is for this reason that they are peculiarly zenlous and loyal in their devotion to the interests and welfare of the schools. They arve actuated by a local pride and patriotism which it would be difficult to instil into teachers brought from oise- where. The people of Omaha are justly proud of their public schools and are prepared to support in the future us in the past every wise and proper policy for elevating their standard and incre: ing their usefulness. Their fame is widely extended, and no effort should be spared by those having them in charge to maintain and increaseit. THE BrE trusts that the vacation will be a period of pleasure and profit to teachers and pupils, preparing all of them to return to work in the autumn with renewed vigor and interest. POLITIC There appears to be much loss appre- hension among business men at p resent than is usually felt at the opening of a presidential campaign. The New York Commercial Bulletin, n journal devoted to business matters and rellecting the viows of thousands engaged in commer- cial enterprises, speals of tho out- look in this poct as heing very encouraging. though the ac- tion of the Chicago convention was yet unknown when the utterance to which we refer was published. Itsays thatthe republicans nominated candidates and adopted a platform that “give little oc- casion for fears of unsound financial legislation or other radical and disturb- ing mensures,” and this view is one that prevails extensively in business circles throughout the country. This feeling of confidence that busi- ness will not be greatly disturbed by the groat battle for the presidency will in itself do a great deal to prevent that re- sult, Manufacturers, merchants and tradesmen of all kinds will exert a mutual influence upon one another that will tend to keeo business going forward steadily at the present even pace. It seems to be generally admitted by all suve those who ure engaged in the in- dustry of manufacturing campaign ma- terial that the country is prosperous and that anything which would disturb the existing state of affairs would be a misfortune, Even men who are not in any sense partisans do not hesitate to say that they aro pleased with the pres- ent administration because it has been wisely dirccted with the view of pro- moting the interests of business and not prostituted to partisan ends, The whole country is to be congratu- lated upon this widaly prevalent feeling of confidenco and contentment. The political contest now beginning is likely to be spirited, but there is a settled be- lief in commercial circles that the ex- isting tranquility and prosperity of the country is to be perpetunted by means of a continuance in power of the party through whose agency this gratifying state of affairs has been hrought about. Only by nssuming that such a beliof prevails can the present feoling of se- curity and confidence be accounted for us the weasures of public policy pro- posed by the democracy are radically opposed to those of the party now in control of the government, This seews Lo mean that the men who chiefly influ- enco the great currents of business in this country have strong faith that popular approval of the measures and policies of I this administratigpgyill be shown at the polls in Novembs IN NOMINATIN ir.

It appears that ring this interesting operation their mindsare full of Mr. Stevenson. R — WHEN Rev. Thomas Green of Towa in his praver at the Chicago convention re- ferred to public office as a public trust the crowd of democrats started to ap- plaud the utterance, but finally gave it up. A preacher who ean maintain his equilibrium in offering a pruyer before a democratic convention need not fear that his nerve will ever forsake him be- fore any other assemblage. — Lasr April Dr. George L. Miller made the following written declaration in aloeal papor: “A fow woeoks ago, in an intorview that was not given to the country, [ predicted that Mr. Cleveland was out of the race for the presidency, and, also, that if he should be nominated over the head of Governor Hill and the vegular New York delegation his de- feat would be inevitable.”™ Tue delegates from Pottawattamio county to the Towa republican state con- vention are instructed to endeavor to got a resolution into the state platform favoring high license or local ovtion.

Several persons baving asked why ex-Sec- retary Bayard is no longer spoken of as a presidential candidate, it may be said in reply that Senator Bayard made a speech at Dover, thirty-one years ago this June, oppos- ing the war and favoring the policy of letting the south go and that when this speech was recalled a few years ago Mr. Bayard’s frienas sew &t once that he could never be president of the United States. e Bolted Clovelun Rocky Mountain News, In view of these facts, and moved by these convictions, the News unhesitatingly elects 1o sustain the people and the industries of the section to which it has been so long wedded, und refuses to betray those inferests by supporting Grover Clevelana for the presidency, thus becoming a party to a finan- cial conspiracy the culwination of which would involve certain and ruinous aisaster to all whoare concerned in silyer mining, and would as surely prove calawitous to the producing population of the United States.

Sidsel Andorsen’s Share in fer Doad Lover's Estate. The probate court has passed upon the es- tate of Rasmus Hoaricksen, deceased, and Sidsel Andersen has been allowed $600, On June 17, 1801, Henricksen, a grocer at Sixth and Leavenworth streets,died. He had heen successful in trade and by foriunate spooulatioas had accumulated fortune of £30,000, Shortly after Honricksen's aeath Sidsel Andersen appeared upon the scene as a claimant. There was a protty love story. The two veople had loved sinco the days of their childhood. Time and again the wed- ding day had boen fixed, ana time and again 1t had beon postponed. The woman staved that it was the intention of Henricksen to have made her the possessor of his fortune, but death cume so suddenly that he failed. To compromise the administrator of the estate consented to allow Sidsel $00, while the balance of the property goes to a brother of the deceased. The district court has reached an opinion in the Thomus family row and Judge Scott nas neld in favor of the nephew of John D, Thomas, who held the title to the Washing ton county farm. He has, however, con- tinued the junction which restrains the nephew from disposing of the property until the supreme court has au opportunity 10 pass upon the case. Patrick McQuillan won his caso against J. J. Wilkinson and secured a judgment for ¥020.88.

C., June 24 There was considerable discussion in Wash- ington today with regard to the record of Mr. Adla evenson, who was selected yesterday to be Grover Cloveland's running mate on the democratic vresidential ticket. Thore soems to have boen n vory genoral im- pressioa that Mr. Stevenson was an old sol- dier, and that for that reason he would be particularly acceptable to tho soldier cle- ment. This view was shared by a large number of demoeratio congresamen, and it was with considerablo surprise today that they learned that Mr. Stovenson had no army record and that during the war he wa pursuing the peaceful occupation of a lawyer at his home in llinols. At the outbreak of the war and until Mr. Stevenson was master in chancery of Wood- ford county, Illinois, from 1564 to 1868, he was tho state's attorney for the Twenty third judicial district. There has also been a raking of his political record, as there has been an impression that Lo was not an out and out demoorat in the vears immediately succesding tho war and that ho had at thay time greenback afiliations His First Apponrance. Mr, Stevensou's first appearance in na- tional politics was in 1874, When he made & successful contest for the position of von- @ressman from the old Thirteenth district of Ilnois.
