Trw prohibitionists are going to grapplo with the silver question at Cin- cinnati. 2 A CELEBRATION of the Fourth such as Omaha has never witnessed is now nssured. Tur Chicago platform exclaims: “The domocratic party belisves in home rule.” But not in home markets. THE connty board is again republican and the pap-distributing kaleidoscope has made another bewildering turn, COME one, come all, who wish to see the great convention. Omaha will greet you and when you ask for bread we will not give you a rock. THE Feucibles of Washington are tell- ing the home people what a great time they had at Omaha. They don’t men- tion their Council Bluffs experience Dir. TALMAGE is in London and is at- tracting his usual crowds. In spite of the sneers of many intelligent people Talmage continues to draw like a dentist. — «WE ARE surprised to observe that the Rocky Mountain News of Denver is still printed on white paper.

Strange to say, we, wo, have observed the same pecu- liarity in the Hub, THE vietory of an Omaha girl in win- ning one of the Vassar college scholar- ships is not surprising, although a dis- tinet crediv to thiscity, Omaha schools und pupils are among the very best in America. DURING the rebellion Genoeral Har- vison and Whitelaw Reid were on the Tattlofield making the history of the war, one with his sword and the other with his pen. Wnere were Cleveland and Stevenson? CHAIRMAN DICKIE of the prohibition national committee says that the party is not a religious organization, as many people suppose, but a political party. It seems to be considered necessary to make this statement frequently. I¥, AS reported, Hamlin Garlard, Ed- ward Everett Hale and Edward Bellamy are to be delegates to the people’s party convention, it behooves Omaha to see that they are well entertained, They are men of brains, however erratic, and should be received as such, SENATOR QUAY has vreserved his usual silence, to which democratic papers have pointed with glee. Now he bhas made @i utterance of a most em- phatigand alarming nature to the lately laughing ones. He said: “I will bet 610,000 that Mr. Harrison will be elected.” Enough said. THE most lagrant and abusive cartoon ssued this season was that of Puck on Mr. Blaine, which came to the public on the day of Emmons Blaine’s funeral. Friends and foes of Blaine will vote this act of Puck an indication of a spirit of brutality and fiendishness not pleasant to contemplato. If the plate was made before the death of Emmons Blaine it ought to have been destroy There ecan be no excuse for such an act of diabolism. I1 18 adull day when announcoment {5 not made of one or more large build- Ing projects in Omaha. The period of stagnution has come to an end uod the patural enterprise and energy of our citizens, which hus roceived fresh en- couragemont from the Nebraska Central movement, is now showing itself once more. As the spirit of progress is con- tugious, it is reasonable to expect still larger and more conspicuous results in the samb direction. s e e platform of the democracy, spenk- ing on foreign relations, bursts out: WThe democratic party is the only party that has ever given the country u foreign policy consistent and vigorous, cfu.npull- fng respect abroad and inspiring con- fidence at home.” When one remem- bers the nation-wide laughter at Bay- ard’s insane frothings and ‘“demands” in thav ridiculous Mexican Cutting epi- sode and the indignation at the cow- ardly manner it which he tried to sneak out of the fisheries controversy, we be- gin to vealize what great humorists those plank-makers were. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE. The organization of the republican na- tional committee will undoubtedly be satisfactory to the party at large. From what is suid of Hon. W. J. Campbell of Illinots, the chnirman of the committee, by those who have knowledge of his qualifications for managing a political campnign, his selection was manifestly wise, [t was judicious, aiso, to take o man from Tilinois, the home of the democratic candidate for vice president. Of course thore is not the slichtest prob- ability of that state heing carried by the democrats next November, but they will muke a vigorous fight there, and it is well to have the man who is to con- duct the republican campaign familiar with Illinois politica, Bqually judicious was the selection of Hon. Tom Carter of Montuna for secre- tary of the committee. e is very pop- ular in his own state, which is generally placed on the doubtful list, and he isa thoroughly capable politician. M. Carter exhibited rare tact and judg- ment in the work he did for President Harrison at Minneapolis, showing him- solf possessod of exceptionul skill and ability in political management. He will undoubtedly, as secrctary of the committee, give strongoer evidence of his exceptional qualifications. The se- lection of Mr. De Yourg. editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, vice chair- man was wise and will have a good ef- fect upon the const states, The unanimity with which these of- ficers wore chosen evidences complote harmony 1n-the commitiee and gives assurance that the campaign will be con- ducted by the men selected for that important task without any bickerings or misunderstandings which might in- torfero with a vigorous and nggressive management. The fact is recognized that the republican party has before 1t contest which, as was said by Mr. Fassett of New York, will putto the test the mettle of every republican, and that in order to win the party must be united and harmonious. Especially is it im- portant and necessary that there be no disafTection or serious disagreements in the national committee, and it will be gratifying to all republicans to know that there are none and that the pro- mise is that all the members of the com- mitee will work zealously and heartily for the party’s success. The influence of this upon the party throughout the country will be good, inspiring it with zoal and confidonce. The signs are pro- pitious, the conditions are favorable to republican victory, but in order to achieve victory the party must be har- monious, vigilant and aggressive. THE IMPRISONED ANARCHISTS. Representatives of many labor unions and other organizations in Chicago are muking a united effort to secure the pardon of Oscar Neebe, Michael Schwab and Samuel IMielden, the anarchists who are in the penitentiary at Joliet for par- ticipation in the Haymarket riot, which took place in Chicago on May 4, 1886, 1t is not necessary to dwell upon the nature of the crime for which these men were imprisoned. The public passed judgment upon their case long ago. There never has been any doubt of their guilt and the interests of social order require that they shall pay the full penalty imposed by the law. But even if it be udmitted that they have been sufficiently punished and that the peni- tence which they profess is gonuine, it is very unfortunate that the labor organizations should have baen induced to take weasures looking to their re- lease. No doubt those who are con- cerned in this movement constitute only a small fraction of the organized bodies of which they are members, but in 80 far us they are procoeding in the name of labor unions they are doing harm to the interests of all working- men. Through no fault of the great peace- loving masses embraced by these unions they have become associated in the minds of many people with anarchistic notions and turbulent proceedings. Such men as Neebo and Schwab and Fielden have done immea: able injury to the workingmen of America by creating the impression in some quarters that they are representa- tives of the ideas and purposes of the labor organizations, The rights and privileges of the workingmen cannot be protected nor can their interests in any way be subserved by the championship of men who have no respect for law and order. On the contrary, they are sure to suffer by any action which identifies them, even remotely, with such men. They need the best public sentiment on their side und are sure to have it if they frown upon every movement that threatens social disorder. Lat the workingmen refrain from in- teresting thomselves in behalf of the imprisoned anarchists; or at least let them take care to do nothing in that di- rection in the name of organized labor, THE PRORIBITION CONVENTION. The national convention of the pro- hibition party will meet in Cincinnati today. Representation in this conven- tion is based on the vote polled by the party in the different statos instoad of on the number of cong men and sen- ators—a plan which it is proposed shall be adopted hereafter for republican conventions. The number of delegates in the prohibition convention, if all at- tend, will be 1,01, and it is expected that everybody who has a right toa wout will be prosent. This will bo the sixth convention of the prohibition party to nominute presi- dential candidates. In the last five presidentinl elections the vole of the waus as follows: part 150,046 This shows a considerable growil in the prohibition vote during the past twelve years, though not 80 greut as the purty expected. The leadors are figur ing on polling 1,000,000 votes this year, but the result will doubtless show thuat this is an extravagant expectation, Ace cording to the advices from Cincinnati the suggostion that the prohibition party shouid amilgamate with the people’s party is not likely to receive serious con- sideration. It 15 also suid that there will be no difficulty in finding men will g to accept the nomination for the THE OMAHA DAIL prosidancy, thers boing soveral who are | was so wrotehoggygbad In. its oporation vigorously cultivating a boom. With regard to the platform, it is stated that the silver issue will probably cause trou- ble nnd doubtless thero will be a com promise of views and a straddle. The taking of-prohibition into politics has not been helpful to the cause. Tt is worthy of note thatsince 1884 only two states, North and South Dakotn, ve placed prohibition in their constitutions, while during this periol thirteon states have voted on prohibitory amendments to their constitutions and rejected thom, namely: New Hampshirve, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsyl- vanin, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington, Tennessoe, West Virginia, Mississippi and "Texas. Inall of these states except Michigan the majority against prohibition was large and de- cisive. High license and restriction have very genorally followed the defeat of prohibition, uniformly with results that have been satisfactory to the people and have vindicated the wisdom of their adoption. While the prohibition vote in the country at largo has realized a consid- erable growth in the last eight years, in the larger states the vote has not in- croased in late years, and wherover high Jicense prevails the effect is to reduce the prohibition vote for tho reason that that system, when properly enforced, appeals to the support of intel- ligent and practical peopte. Prohibi- tion, on the other hand, has failed of its burpose wherevor it hzs been adopted and has also been a drawback to the material prosperity of the stutes having it. Novertheless wo shall, as usuul, be told by the platform of the Cincinnati convention that prohibition has been everywhere an unqualified success. ESTION. The platform adopted by the dem o cratic party at Chicago says: “Wo de- clure it to be the fundamental princinle of the democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to0 impose or colloct tariff duties, except for the purposes of revenue only, and we deraand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government, honestly and economically administered.” This is the first timo in all its history that the democratic party has taken this ground. Never before has it dared to deny the authority of the constitution for the imposition of tariff dutvies. In many democratic national conventions there have been free traders who desired to have such & declaration made, but they have always hitherto been in the minority and the party has nevar until now made an attack upon the republican tariff position upon the ground that it is not constitutional. It is intoresting to note that the de- mocracy of today has gone back many years for its tariff plank. The nullifica- tion convention that assembled at Col- umbin, 8. C., November 19, 1832, passed an ordinance repudiating the tariff leg— islation then in force in the United States, and this action virtually put South Cavolina out of the union. Less than a month later President Jackson issued his proclamation against null cation, in which he said: ‘*‘A conven- tion assembled in the state ot South olina have pussed an ordinance by which they declare that the soveral acts and parts of acts of the congrass of the United States, purporting to be the luws for the imposing of duties and im- posts on the importation of foreign commodities, and now having actual effect and operation within the United Stutes, and move especially two acts for the same purpose passed on the 20th of May, 1825, and on the 14th of July, 1832, are unauthorized by the constitu- tion of the United States and violate the true meaning and intent thereof, and are null and void and no law,” ete., ote. Jackson’s proclamation against the nullification declared by the South Carolina democrats is one of the solid rocks upon which his enduring fame rests. The democrats of our day often call themselves J icksonians and try to bolster up their weak cause by using his name. But they have now once more proclaimed the same false doctrine that aroused the ive of Old Hickory when was rampant in South ago. is another interesting fact to be noted in connection with the new demo- eratie tariff plank. It is a repotition of a clause in the confederate constitution, which declares that no duties nor taxes on foreign importations shatl be laid to promote or foster any industry. The democracy of this day is looking backward for its inspiration. 1t is liv- ing in a past age. It finds its prece- dents in nullification and rebellion, For many years it has juggled with the tarift, and now at the close of the nine- teenth century it has reached the con- clusion that was reached long ngo by the nullitiers and confederates. namely, that protection is a violavion of the con- stitution of the United States. The democrats have never failed to blunder in framing their platforms, but this is the first time they have ever goune back to nullification and the con- federate constitution for a tarifl plank. THE folly of giving the contract for furniture for the new city hall to out- siders instead of favoring home manu- [acturers is now apparent. The furn ture sent by the Ketcham company is said 10 be by no means up to the quality demanded by the contract and it is prgbable that the council will reject it. Thero was a strong sentiment against the making of this contract, and itis now evident that the city will suffer an- noyance and delay asthe penalty for going away from home for furniture that could have been obtained lvmro. Tue bill to establish a uniform syste m of bankruptey wus reported to the house of representatives on Monday and is now on the enlendur. This gives promise of action on the measure at the present session, There is a very general desire on the part of the business interests of the country for the enactmont of a na- tional bapkruptey law, and both parties in congress ouzht to be disposed to re- gard this wish. The fuct should be recognized that u great change hus taken place within a fow years in the view of commercial circlos as to the necessity for such legislation, The former law that there was naturally created a wide: spread prejudie againet a national bankruptey lu, but this feeling has largely disappes and in the west es- pecis whero fthe prejudice was strongest, the ntiment is general among business m8n that there ought to be a uniform system of bankruptey. The existenco of almost as-many systems as there are statos canaotbe in the interest of justice, and since it is practicaily im- possible to secure uniformity in state laws it is necessary to huve a national law. As there is mothing political in this matter, and it is something which the business interests of the country nre almost ununimous in usking for, there does not appear to be any good reason THE fate of the nnti-options bill in the senato is still somewhat uncertain, although it is the opinion of Senator Vest that it will pass. It appears that the'committee having the mensure in charge is divided on it, a majority being opposed to it, probably on constitutional grounds, and that two reports on it will be mude to the senate, one for and the other agninst. A final vote of the com- mittee on the bill is expected to be had tomorrow, and in that case tho measure may be reported to thesenate this week. It will doubtless receive vory full dis- cussion, and this is to be desired, especially by the friends of the bill, on whose side the weightot argument rests. So far as the constitutional objection is concerned it does not appear to have much strength, but it will be interesting to observe what can bo made out of it The ngricultural producers of the coun- try ave nearly unanimous in demanding this Jegislation, which they profoundly believe to be necessary to the protection of their interests, and both parties in congress would do well to respect their wish, Tne fact that exports of produce from the United States for June are proceed- ing at an averago gainof 25 per cent over the. heavy shipments of May isa favorable indication, and this with the excellent crop prospects and the in- creised business in nearly all lines of manufacture will tend to strengthen pablic confidence in the prosperi the country and stimulate busine every branch. There is some disturb- ance and uncertainty in the iron trade, but in all other lines the outlook con- tinues good. Tiue delegation from the Irish Na- tion league which wili sail this weelk for Ireland to bear u message from America to the fighting factions will find that it is a big undortaking to make peace be- tween jealous leaders. They will tell these warring Irishmen that their coun- trymen in Americafwill withhold all wid for the cause of liberty on the old sod unless the quarreling is stopped.
