The proposal that Omaha shall cele- brate the coming anniversary of the declaration of indopendence in a way worthy of the day has taken form and there is now most favorable promis that the Fourth of July will be observed in this city with a degree of popular i terest and enthusiasm never befors wit- this section. The action of the Board of Trade has given a practi- cal start to the movement which now needs only the active support of the peo- ple to insure its sutcess. Thore can he no doubt that that support will be given. "'he sentiment of the community, so far a8 it has been expressed, is most de- cidedly in favor of the proposition to make the commemoration of the most important event in American history memorable in the experience of the peo- ple of this city and state,and this feeling will grow in strength and fervor as the natal day of the republic approaches. The coming Fourth of July will be the 116th anniversary of the declaration of independence. This is the year also in which occurs the 400th anniversary of tho discovery of America by Columbus. There 18 no necessary connection be- tween the two events, but it is natural to ussociate them, and each makes its own peculine demand upon the patriot- ism of the Americin people. The pres- ent year, more perhaps than any that has preceded it, invites the people of this republic to a serious contemplation of the wonderful results that have been achieved in this part of the world in the cause of popular freedom and for the im- provement and olevation of humanity. The discovery of America was the be- ginning of an epoch in the history of mankind, the magnificent fruitions of which the wisest philosopher of that time could not have conceived. The declaration of independence an assertion of the rights of the people against the assumptions of ages of tyranny, the influence of which has been felt throughout the world and will con- tinue to be effective until all the nations of the earth have adopted the principles of popular government. ry patriotic consideration demands such a cele- bration of the coming Fourth of July as will be memorable in our history, and there are special reasons why Omaha should make an extraordinary effort to properly commemorate that anniversary. [t is evident that the popular sentiment is favorablo to this view, and this being the case sal celebration may be re- garded o POLAR E More than a year ago En ert E. Peary, accompanied by his wife and a small band of stout-hearted as- sociates, sailed from Now York ina whaling steamer for Greenland. The object of the expedition was to investi- gate the geological, zoological *and meteorological conditions of that mys- tevious region, and also to discover, if possible, whether Greenland is an island of o continent stretehing northward to the pole. The party reached McCor- mick bay, on the southern const of Greenland, in July of last year, and since that time their whereabouts have been unknown. The civilized world has learned nothing of them. Tomorrow an expedition will sail, the object of which is to find the Peary party if they be alive, and to relieve or rescue them. The preparpitions for this expedition have been in progress for some time, and its equipment for the perilous task will bo as complete as human juagment and foresight could make it. It will be under the command of Prof. Heiiprin of the Philadel phia Académy of Natural Sciences, under the auspices of which the Peary expedition was organized, ana the party will consist mainly of young men so- lected with reference to their ubll\l.y to endure tho hardships they will have to encounter. The commander is not new to tasks of this kind, having led several expeditions to a successful conclusion. As to the chances of success, there is not much probubility that the Peary party will be found alive. The fact that no tidings of them have been received for u year is discouraging to the hope that any of them are living, and it is the opinion of persons experienced in polar explorations that the explorers will never return alive to their native land. The fact that a woman, the young wife of Engineav Peary, is one of the party mukes the matter peculiarly in- teresting and pathetic. The chances are that it will be found that another tragic chapter has been added to the history of polar expédi- tions, and if s0 the question will again suggest itself whether the results of theso explorations compensate for the sacrifices they involve. Has the knowl- edge acquired regarding the icebound regions of the remote north been a suf- ficient return for the lives it has cos It is certainly questionable, but what- ever the popular opinion in the matter doubtless the restless scientific s will continue to organize: polar expedi- tions and the supply of adventurous and stout-hearted men .wili always be sui- ficient to meet the demand, The scien- tific world at least will regard with in- terest the expedition which sails tomor- row, EDITIONS. ineer Rob- STIVAL. The pn»]u,l of giving Omaha naxt November a week of legitimate opora, which has been presented to the atten- tion of our citizens by Miss C. C. Ten nant Clary, has met with cordial favor, The' object Miss Clary has in view, which is that of establishing a local onoratic stage, meets with very general approval as u valuuble instrumentality for prowoting musical tiste and cul- ture, . In Burope every city of any size hus o 1 house, which ranks with prary snd art gallery, and is con- sidoved indispensable both as an edu- wnd for soclal recreation, Operas rendored by localized companies, which for obvious rveasons are enabled to give better performances, and the ex- pense of production being reduced the prices of admission are placed within the means of all. Years of such ad- vantages have made even the strect gamin of Europe musical. In America there is no such thing today as legitimate opera outside of o short season in New York and Chicago. Even the traveling companies which ex- isted in thoduysof Strakoseh, and which Ator rif’ THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: @ave to our country Kellogg and ( and a soason annually of one or weeks to our larger cities, have censed to exist. Tt is apparent that unless the stage is localized opsra will be lost to America. The Buropean operatiostage of today is drawing its talent and voices from America; as the brighteststars are American women who weat to Kurope to find the stago that should oxist in their own country. Musical and think- ing people regret this condition, which will continue until the loeal stago is es- tablished. Why should not Omaha be among the first to take that step? There is sufficient wealth and culture here to do s0, and a population large enough to support it when once established. @ The plan of Miss Clary for raising the funds necessary to the success of tho en- terprise is such that all receive full value for the money expended. The company to produce the operas is to be selected and organized by Max Maretzek of New York, whose ability and experi- > give assurance of tho best results bloYor the amount of money ex- pended. Two legitimate operas will be given during the week. Miss Clary has met with gratifying success thus far and there is every reason to expect that her very practical plan will continue to find favor with those of our people who are interested in musical mattors and are disposed to contribute to the promo- tion of musical taste and culture in the community. ‘arey two OF RESPONSIBILITY. The verdict of the coroner’s jury as to the cause of deaths in the late tragic disaster at Oil City, by which a large number of people lost their lives, is to the effect that all persons owning and having in custody the fatal naphtha tank and its contents, by which the confla- gration was caused, were guilty of gross carelessn S0 far as it is possible to judgo of the circumstances at this distance the ver- diet seems to be a just one. The fact that the blame falls upon the Standard Oil company should neither intensify nor abate the feeling of the public. The matter should be consiaered from a standpoint of strict ana impartial jus- tice. The Standard Oil company is a great and wealthy monopoly, but this fact should not be considered in fixing tho responsioility for a disaster so shock- ing and terrible that av Oil Civy The coroner’s jury scems to have sought only 1o place the blame whers it belongs and there is nothing in the findings to indicate that the common prejudice against rich mononolies influenced the judgment of the juror sometimes means a ally in a court of law, yes which will cer- tainly be brought against the Standard Oil compn on account of the killing and maiming for which the coroner’s jury saysthat it is responsible will be important in many ways. They will be especially important to the widows and orphans who have been left without means of support, to the injured who have been deprived of their ability to earn a living for themselves and their amilies, and to those whose pzoperty hus been destroyed. Of course, it does not necessarily fol- low that gross carelessness on the pact of the owners of the naphtha tanks the sole cause of the ruinous and death— aling disaster at Oil City. The ele- ts did their work, and but for the flood there would probably have been no oil conflagration. But the coroner’s holds the oil company responsible < of provision aguinst the very thing that happened, and there is jus- tice 1n this. Many thousands of dollars have been paid by an oil company in an eastern city for a naphtha explosion that oceurred three or four years ago, and in that case the iajury done was much less clearly due to carelessness than in the Oil City holocaust. Publie sentiment was with the sufferers on the broad ground that corporations are bound to protect those whose lives or property are imperiled by their opera- tions. In matters of this kind a corporation should receive neither more nor lesscon- sideration from the general publfe than an individual would receive under the same circumstances. Where blame is shown the responsible parties should be mado to pay for it so faras money can pay for the killing and maiming of hu man being as The suits for dan A SUGGESTIVE COMPARISON. It is a well known fact that the best dressed beef in the world is shipped -rom Omaha, Chicago and Kansas City. The Analyst, a . scientific journal published in New York, has an oxhaustive articloon this subject, in which it is clearly shown that eastern dressed baef canuot, in the nature of things, be fit tobe placed upon the table of any man who is atall partic- ular about the quality of his food. The residents of New York and other At- antic seaboird cities consume large quantities of beef that is provided by local butchers, who receive their stock on foot from the south and southwess. It would seem to be scarcely necossary to enter 1nto an argument to prove that the meat which they offer their custom- ers cannot be good. The cattle which they kill aro usually transported from Te. Colorado, New Mexico and other distant western points, and are received in the ecast more dead thun alive, and often suffering from disense, and are immediately slaughtered to meet the demands of the market with- out being given time to recover from the fever that is in their blood, or the wounds and bruises thatare on their mis- erable bodies. Before the animal heat is out of the meat it is offered for sale to the unsophisticated eastern buyer, who does not tukke tho trouble to inquire whenco it came, nor trouble himself about the unclean and revolting methods of killing ana dressing vrac- ticed by the eastern buteher, The beel sent out from Omaha, for example, is, as the journal quoted says, of a widely different chavactor.

The process of preparing meat for market in theso great packing centers of the west is absolutely porfect so far as human precautions und vigilance can make it 80. In view of these facts it is not strange that the vast meat packing interests of the three western cities named are at- tracting wide attention. Their growth will increase more and more as the pub- lic becomes more enlightened concern- ing the methods by which the meat which their dealers offer them is placed upon the market.

Such a policy is not even open to the objection that it is a step toward government puternalism, u thing which somo people thinkis not creditable to the d independence of the individual. legitimate and proper as any other measure for tending the benefits of American civilization and progress to the peoples of other lands, The 1introduction of American corn into Germany thréugh the efforts of an omissary duly employed for the work does not spring from' an altruistic and benevolent desire, to, do the Germans a good turn, but it nevertheless has that effect, while it exXtends the market for ono of the most important products of this country. rehT e 1t is announcelf by the Agricultural department that.our exports of corn during the first sthree months of this year show an inerease to (,-ormuny alone of over: 400 per cen that is, the oxpofts to Germany for these months in 1891 were $1,093,860, while this year they reached $5,755,435. This result has been entirely brought about by a sort of campaign of educa- tion conducted among the German peo- ple by one man who knew how to teach them the usesof American corn. It has done them good, beyond a doabt, and the figures above given show that it has done us good by extending our market. The possibilities of such a system of education as this seem unlimited. Not only the Germans but many others in foreign lands ave ignorant of the value of this palatable and nugritious cereal. They know of its existence and perhaps know that it is inexpensive, but they do not know how to use it. It would seem «s if a people having 8o much inter- course with Americans as the Germans have always had would not need en- lightenment on this subject, but the fruits of such enlightenment were very promptly shown in a vastly increased importation of our corn and in the erec- tion of a large number of mills by the Germans to propare the cornmeal which they had never before learned much about. Perhaps the day is not far distant when other products of this country will in the same munner be brought to the attention of neople in distant lands who only refrain from buying them now be- 1se their education has been negle 1t certainly pays to advertise. A BIT OF CONVENTION HISTORY. The Chicago convention was the sixth in the history of the democratic party in which a candidate for president was nominated on the first ballot. The first convention of the party wasiheld in 1832, when Jackson and Van Buren were nominated. In 1836 and again in 1840 Van Buren was nominated at Baltimore without opposition. In 1844 at Balti- move Polk was nominated on the ninth ballot, his chief opponents being Vun Buren, Cass, Buchanan -and Johnson, In 1848 in the same city Cass was nomi- nated on the fourth ballot against Bu- chanan, Woodbury, Calhoun, Worth and Dallas. Again the party met at Baltimore in 1852 4nd hominated Pierce on the forty-nintly ballot, & stubborn fight having been,, mude by his friends and thoso of Cass,"Bughanan, Dougluss and Marcy. There!were also five other candidutes whose diiijdacy complicated the situation, though shey only received a smull number 4ti¥dtes. [n 1856 at Cincinnati the prize wént to Buchanan on the soventeenth budot. At Charles- ton in 1860 there wolre'fifty-seven ballots taken und then theeéenvention adjourned to meet at Baltigippa, where Douglass was floally chosen'ens the socond ballot. His rivals were nuj mmusv butin the ad- journed convéntion he had it all his own wiy, his most formidable competitor, Guthrie, receiving ouly nine and five votes respectively on the two ballots. {n 1864 MeClellan was nominated on the first ballot st Chicago, Seymour being his ehief rival. Seymour was chosen on the twenty-second ballot at New York iu 1868 against Hancock, Pendleton, Johnson, Doolittle and Hendricks, a fow other candidates also receiving scatter- ing votes. In 1872 Greeley was nomi- nated in Baltimore ou the first ballot after he bad been chosen us the candi- date of the liberal repiblicans. Tilden 1892---SIXTEEN PAGES was selected at St. Louis in 1876 on the second ballot. “Hancock captured the prizo af Cincinnati on the second ballot in 1880, and Cleveland was the winner at Chicago on the second ballot in 1884 At St. Louis in 1888 he received the nomi- nation by acclamation Many of these batties for the honor of bearing tho democratic standard woro stubbornly fought, and in the conven tions prior to the appearance of Cleve- land in tho field the democratic party never knew what it was to have a “claimant” on its hands. In none of them was there shown so bitter a hos- tility to the nominee as was oxpressed at tho late convention av Chicago. ToERE was recently organized in New York the American Jewish socioty, the object of which is to collect, pre- serve and publish all data concerning the settloment of the Jews in Amoriea. Its researches will be conducted mainly in the United Statés, but some attention will bo given to the other portions of the two continents of America. The society will also ondeavor to make a complete record of the history and in- fluenoe of the Jewish people and to show their direct bearing and connection with the history of this country. The field of resoarch in this direction has been almost untouched, and it cannot fail to develop a great deal that would be of the highest intorest. The general rec- ord of the Jews in America is known to be closely alliod with the history of the United States, but the details remain to be gathered and linked together in their proper sequence. One of the re- sults reasonably oxpected from the workings of this society «ill be the elimmadon of whatever prejudice lin- gers against the Jews. This exists now mainly among the uneducated. Intelli- gent people who have studied the his- tory of this country and are imbued with the spirit of fairness or justice do not need to have proofs given them that the Jows have aliways been good ociti- zens, the poers of any other class in patriotism, und in proportion to their numbers contributing as largely as any other cluss to the material progress and prosperity of the country.

The last election was tho first held under the roaistribution of 1836 bill, which increased the constituencies from 280 to 643 and as In that election only half the voto was polled, no one can feel perfoctly certain what the result will be when tuo entire vote 18 polled in distriots only tested once, and that A scratch contest. In addition there has been A growth Tu 1835 thero were 5,707,823 registered voters in the United Kingdom, Last July, whon the rogistry now n force was completed, thers were 6,173,658 voters, This increase is all in England and Walos, whore the voters have rigen from 4 2 fn 1880 10 4,822,446 last July. Liberal confidence in the prosent olection is roally based on the by-oloctions in the past X yeu Down to a year ago, or May, 1801, thero had been 112 of theso oloctious, o which the Gladstonians bad gailvod sovonteen seats, This is one sixth of 070; and, if the gain continued through the house, a liberal triumph was cortain, Tho by-elections of the past year have boon avout equally favorable to home rulo; but tho ag- Brogate 1s, atter all, a smail fraction of all tho constituencios. The real basis of liveral certitudo doés not rest on a mere poll of members, but on the circumstance that in theso by-elections the liberal vote is back to the fleuros of 1835 Ou that volo tho liberals are cortain to win. At thesatio time it would be a grave mistake to forget thut the coming cloction will turn on a narrow majority ; that signs of a oconservative renction have re- v appearod ; and that by-slections have proved untrustworthy iy tho past.

But his youth relioved him in o measure of responsibility for this bloodshed and his later gift of 10,000 ducats to those who were widowed and orphaned av that time won for him the for- wiveness uud the affection of nis Hungarian subjects. Novertheloss, in tho desperato strait of 1866, when Austria faced an ency on either side, Hungary menaced hor with rovolt in the roar, und the roconstitution of the anciont kingdom was exhorted from tho weaknoss and the fears of the imperial zover- ment. The future of this hyvrid state was rearded with anxioty by its friends and with contempt by its focs. Such a government, it was declared, was unworkable and the ancient ompire was fated to dissolve into its oloments, At first tiere scemed much rea- son to believe that the st shock of war would precipitato this dissoluvion, 1 theless the union has grown stronger instoad of weaker. The vosition of the dual govern- ment is now better than ever. Thero have been financial mistakes enough, and the present financial policy 18 marked by racial jealousy and commercial narrowness, but the credit of the country is better than ever before. Discontent " among the Poles and Bohemians has boen undoubtedly stimulated by thoexample of Hungary, but the emperor has managed with wonderful patience and skill to appeaso the agitators. and his per- sonal popularity 1s everywhere justly groat. 1f Bismarck be snubbed by royalty, he is honored by the people, as thoy demonstrate by the reception given him on his journey to Vienua, There wore no court dignitaries to meet him as he left the railroad train, and the Gorman ambassador at Vieuna will not be present at Count Herbert's wedding, but the peoplo were thoro iy crowds and greoted the old man most enthusiastically. At Dres- den, too, and even at Berlin it was the samo; his journey from Eriedrichsruhe to Vienna was a triumphal procession, There1s possibly something moro in this demonstration than simply tho desireto do honor to Bismarck, It aas beon made na expression, as his birth- day was, of the movement of the undercur- rent of opnosition to the emperor, as well as of anti-Semitism. One thing is settied by this attitude of the emperor toward Count Herbert's wedding, and that is the falsity of the recent rumors of an approaching recon- ciliation between William and tho ex-chan- cellor. Wiltiam’s snub is 100 direct to be in- terpreted in any other way than as a positive Intimation that a reconciliation must be on terms dictated by him, if at all. e It 15 observed that whenever native Afri- can tribes are saved from decimating intor- tribal wars and alcoholic liquors they thrive ‘well, no matter how many whites are around them.
