Itis Foglish against American markets. Tr= prohibitionlsts are going to grapplo with the silver question at Cin- clnnati. A CELEBRATION of the Fourth such as Omaha has never witnessed is now nssured. Tue Chicago platform exclaims: “The domocratic party belisves in home rule.” But not in home markets. THE county 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 Feuncibles of Washington are tell- fng the home people what a great time they had at Omaha. They don’t men- tion their Council Bluffs experience Di. 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 Tocky Mountain News of Denver is still printed on white paper. We looked for a complete silver edition long before this time. CHAMPION JOHN L. SULLIVAN says he is tired of Boston becausa the people there talk too much. Strange to say, we, 100, have observed the same pecu- liarity in the Hub. THE victory of an Omaha girl in win- ning one of the Vassar college scholar- ships is not surprising, although a dis- tinet erediv to thiscity. Omaha schools und pupils are among the very best in America. DURING the rebellion General Har- lson and Whitelaw Reid were on the uttlofield making the history of the war, ono with his sword and the other with his pen. Whnere were Cleveland and Stevenson? CHAIRMAN DICKIE of the prohibition national committee says that the party 18 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 roported, Hamlin Garlard, Ed- ward Everett Hale and Kdward Bellamy are to be delegntes 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 havo pointed with glee. Now he has made aa utterance of a most em- phatigand slarming nature to the lately laughing ones. He said: “I will bet 610,000 that Mr. Harrison will be ected.” Enough said. TuHe most lagrant and abusive cartoon issued this season was that of Puck on Mr. Blaine, which came to the public on the day of Emmons Blaine’s funeral, Yriends and foes of Blaine will vote this act of Puck an indication of a spirit of brutality and fiendishness not pleasant to contemplate. If the.plate was made before the death of Emmons Blaine it ought to have been destroyed. There can be no excuse for such an act of diabolism. Ir1sadull day when announcoment 15 not made of one or more large build- Ing projects in Omaha. The period of stagnution has come to an end und the patural enterprise and energy of our citizens, which hus received [resh en- couragemont from the Nebruska Central movement, is now showing itself once more. As the spirit of progress is cons tugious, it is reasonable to expect still larger and more conspicuous results in the sam® direction. Tue platformof the democracy, spenk- fng on foreign relations, bursts out: “The democratic party is the only party that has ever given the country a foreign polioy consistent and vigorous, compell- 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 epl- sodo and the indignation at the cow- ardly manner i which he tried to sneak out of the fisheries controversy, we be- gin to vealize what greal humorists those plank-makers were. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE. The organization of the revublican na- tional committee will undoubtedly bo satisfactory to the party at large. From what is siid of Hon. W. J. Campbell of Illinots, the chairman of the committee, by those who have knowledge of his qualifications for managing a politi campnign, his selection was manifestly wise. It was judicious, aiso, to take o man from Tilinois, the home of the democratic candidate for vice president. Of course thore is not the slizhtest 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 politics. qually judicious was the selection of Hon. Tom Cuarter of Montuna for secre- tary of the committee. He is very pop- ular in his own state, which is generally placed on the doubtful list, and he isa thoroughly capable politician. Mr. Carter exhibited rare tact and judg- ment in the work he did for President Harrison at Minneapolis, showing him- solf possessed of exceptional skill and ability in political management. He will undoubtedly, as secrctary of the committee, give strongor evidence of his exceptional qualifications. The se- lection of Mr. De Young. editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, as vice chair- man was wise and will have a good ef- fect upon the const states. The unanimity with which these of- ficors were chosen evidences complete harmony 1n-the commitiee and gives assurance that the campaign will be con- ducted by the men seclected for that important task without any bickerings or misunderstandings which might in- terfero with a vigorous and nggressive management. The fact is recognized that the republican party has before 1t: contest which, as was sald by Mr. Fassett of New York, will putto the test the mettlo of overy republican, and that in order to win the party must be united and harmonious. Especiaily is it im- portant and necessary that there be no disafTection or serious disagreements in the national committee d 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 zeal and confidence. 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 lubor unions and other organizations in Chicago are muaking a united effort to secure the pardon of Oscar Neebe, Michael Schwab and Samuel Fielden, the anarchists who are in the penitentiary at Joliet for par- ticipation in the Haymarket riot, which took place in Chicago on May 4, 1836, 1t is not necessary to dwell upon the nature of theerime 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 becn sufficiently punished and that the peni- tence which they profess is genuine, it is very unfortunate that the labor organizations should have baen induced to take measures looking to their re- lease. Nodoubt 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 proceeding 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 immeasur- 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 labhor 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 and are sure to have it if they frown upon every movement that threatens social disorder. Let 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 states instead of on the number of congressmen and sen- ators—a plan which it is proposed shail be adopted hereafter for republican conventions. The number of delegates in the prohibition convention, if all at- tend, will be 1,001, and it is expectod that everybody who hus a right toa seat will be prosent. his will be the sixth convention of the prohibition party to nominute presi- dential candidates. In the last five presidentinl elections the vole of the party was as follows: 1 1870, 1880 1884, 1888 v ienias Y This shows a considerable growl the prohibition vote during the past twelve years, though not o greut as the party expected. The leadors are figur ing on polling 1,000,000 votes this year, but tho result will doubtiess show thut this is an extravagant expectation, Ac- cording to the advices from Cincinnati thesuggoestion 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 dificulty in finding wen will ing lo uccept the nomination for the AHA prosidency, there bolng several whonre | w vigorously eultivating a boom. With regard to the platform, it is stated vhat the silver fssue will probably eause trou- ble nnd doubtless jthere will be a com promise of views and a straddle. The taking of-prohibitic nto politics has not been helpful to the cause. Tt is worthy of note thatsince 1884 only two states, North and South Dakotn, have placed prohibition in their constitutions while during this periol thirteon states have voted on probibitory amendments to their constitutions and rejected them, namely: New Hampshire, 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 gencrally followed the defeat of prohibition, uniformly with results that have beon satisfactory to the people and have vindicated the wisdom of their adoption. While the prohibition vote in the country at largs has realized a consid- erable growth in the last eight years, inn the larger states the vote has not in- crossed in late years, and wherover high Jicense prevails the effect is to reduce the prohibition vote for the reason that that system, when properly enforced, appeals to the support of intel- ligent and practical people. Prohibi- tion, on the other hand, has failed of its purpose wherever it hzs been adopted and has also been a deawback to the material prosperity of the states having it. Novertheless we shall, as usuul, be told by the platform of the Cincinnati convention that prohibition has been everywhere an unqualified success. A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION. The platform adopted by the dom o atic party at Chicago says: “Wo de- clure it to bo the fundamental princinle of the democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose or collect 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 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 duiies. 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 never 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 man years for its tariff plank. The nullifica tion convention that assembled at Col- umbia, S. C., November 19, 1832, passed an ordinance repudinting the tariff leg- islation then in force in the United States, and this action virtually put South Carolina out of the union. Less thana month later President Jackson issued his proclamation ainst nullifi- wion, in which he said: ‘*A conven- tion assembled in the state ot South Carolina have pussed an ordinance by which they declare that the several acts and parts of acts of the congress 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, 1828, and on the 14th of July, 1832, are unauthorized by ths 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 nullification was rampant in Cavolina sixty years ago. There is another interesting fact to bo noted in connection with the new demo- eratie tariff plank. It is a repetition 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 pr dents in nullification and rebellion, For many years it has juggled with the tariff, and now at the close of the nine- teenth century it has reached the con- clusion that was reached long ago 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 gone back to nullification and the con- federate constitution for a tariff plank. when South THE folly of giving the contract for furniture for the new city hall to out- siders instend of favoring home manu- [acturers is now apparent. The furni- ture sent by the Ketcham company is said to be by no means up to the quulity demanded by the contract and it is prgbable that the council will reject it. There was a strong sentiment against the muking of this contract, and it is now evident that the city will suffer an- noyance and delay as the penalty for going away from home for furniture that could have been obtained l.mnx 1E bill to establish a uniform syste m of bankruptey wus reported to the house of representatives on Monday and is now on the ealendar. 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 enactment 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 has taken place within a fow years in the view of commercial circlos as to the necessity for such legislation, The former law DAILY Bl s 80 wrotchodlygbad in its operation that there was naturs wted a wide- spread prejudife lugniufl. a ional bankruptey lu#, but this feeiing has Inrgely disappeareg, und in the west es- pecially, where fhhe prejudice was strongest, tho fntiment ls genernl among business m8n that there ought to be a uniform system of bankruptey. The xistence of almost asmany systems as there are states canaotbhe in the interest of justice, and since it is practically im- vossible to secure uniformity in state laws it is necessary to have a national law. As there is nothing 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 why congress should not dispose of it at once. —_— Tie fate of the nnti-options bill in the sennto s 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 made to the senate, one for and the other against. 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 the senate this week. It will doubtless receive vory full dis- cussion, and this is to be desired, especially by the frionds of the bill, on whose side the weightof argument rests. So far as the constitutional objection i concerned it does not appear to have much strength, but it will be interesting to observe what can bo made out of it. The ugricultural producers of the coun- try ave nearly unanimous in demanding this legislation, 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, Tue 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 fuvorable 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 the prosperity of the country and stimulate business in every branch. There is some disturb- ance and uncertainty in the iron trade, but in all other lines the outlook con- tinues good. Tie delegation from the Irish Na- tion league which wili sail this week for Ireland 10 bear u message from Americ 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 theircoun- trymen in Americafwill withhold all aid for the cause of liberty on the old sod unless the quarreling is stopped. Poss! bly this way have a temporary effect. HENRY M. STAN is conducting his campaign for patliament in the reg- ular EnglistPstyle. He goes about in a cart accompanied by his wife, and both address vhe people. Mr. Stanloy tries to cateh votes by introducing his wife as a descendantof Oliver Cromwell, and the scheme appears to work very well. It doos not seem a dignified way to gain favor himself.

To- day thero is ono on trial which is sensa- tlona. in the extreme, and us a resultit draws a packad house. ‘The title is simply the state agamst Nich- olas Fox. This conveys but littlo informa- tion, though the facts furnish a gaping crowd uny amount of sensational food The prisoner at the bar is a wife murderor and a would-be suicide. The tragedy was committed in a small cottage at Twonty- soventh aud igan strects, South Omaha, on the morning of December 22, 1501, The vie- tm was Charity Fox. Barly in the morning of that day Fox firea u bullet into his wife's body, from the effects of which she died a fow hours later. This morning, when taken into court, Fox appoared more like some huge animal thau a buman being. Ho is over six foet i height, weighing 200 pounds. His shoulders are stooped and carry a large head covered with & heavy shock of unkempt blaok hair. To add to his wicked and repulsive appearance, ho has o board of soveral woeks growth, which stands out in every direction, For weeks he has becn playing the insano doage, and today when removed irom the steol ' cago in tho jail he howled, yelled and beat the foor of the cell, Handeuffs wvero slivped over s wrists and leg 1rons over his aukles, and in this con- dition ho was led into th court room. Then ho took in the surroundings and with u loud roar settled into a chair. A moment later he commenced to rave, but was quickly prought to time by Sheriff Beunett and Jailer Miller, who tightened up a long towel that had been twisted about the murderer’s hroat.
