WirH reference to the city hall furni- dure job, the council is just now giving an object lesson to prospective boodlers. The effect of the council’s action is to demonstrate that honesty is the best policy. It 18 very evident indeed that the city hall furniture contractor must abide by the contract specifications or move his atuff out of the buiiding. The city offi- ¢lals do not propose to be trifled with in this matter. —_— Ir wiLL be interesting for Editor Dana to note that the Atlanta Constitu- tion, also, is supporting the Chicago ticket. A diet of crow is not very palat- able, but when the bird is divided around it is not so bad. Two facmers alliance congressmen of Kaosas, Otis and Clover, were defeated for renomination, and blame Jerry Simpson for the result. There seem to be some traces of politics even in the aliiance. P PREPARATIONS for the celebration of Independence day promise a program at once unique and attractive. Nobody can afford to miss it. Reports from surrounding towns indicate that Omaha will ve full of strangors. THE Chicago papers complain that gambling is still going on 1n that city, desplte nll orders to the contrary. It would bo much more interesting if somebody would name a city in which gambliug is not going on. THE Shriners and Knights Templar will be bero during the third weok of August.

They will probably be equally glud when his successor retires. As amatter of fact the democrats are always glad when any republican retires from any position. NEBRASKA AND THE SUGAR TRUST. The prospect for a more extensive cultivation of the sugar beet in Ne- braska is good. The development of this young industry in this state has been very rapid during the past few years and has attracted wide attention. Two large factories are turning out sugar of the highest quality from the beets grown upon Nebraska soil, and the possibilities of sugur making being lim- ited only by the possibilities of beet growing, it is evident that the business may be oxtended indefinitely 1n & re- gion 8o admirably suited to it as Ne- braskn is admitted to be. It has been shown by reports from the Agricultural department that among the samples of beets received from various states the highest coefcient of purity was found in those from Nobraska., The propor- tion of sugar in the beets grown in this stato is 3 per cent greater than in those of Germany, and the natural produc- tiveness of our soil is such that it gives the beet growers here a great advantage n the competition with those of the old world, who are obliged to resort to ar- tificial fertilizers to an extent which offsets the difference in the cost of labor. The sugar factories of Nebraska are turning the products of her beet fields into rofined sugar, and doing the work well. This is as it should be, and the manufacturing facilities should be ex- tended with the growth of the beet growing industry, as it doubtless will be. Touching upon this phase of the subject, the New York Commrciol Bulletin has the following: In commenting upon the question, now being agitated by those who have taken up the culture of sugar beets in Nebraska, whether they oughtto erect refineries as well as factoriesfor the production of raw sugar, or the latter only, Willett & Gray say, in their “Statistical:” *We do not like to see the opportunity for profitable boet root agri- culture {n nearly every state in the union 10st to our farmers by the present disdirected offorts. Abandon the effort to build up the industry by beet roo. sugar rofiving and limit it to beet root sugar agriculture, and it must succeed.” 1f the growers of beet roots and the manu- facturers of raw beot root suzar in Nebraska will agree not to erect refineries, Willott & Gray doclare that the sugar trust “will con- tract for it" (raw beet root sugar) “now at the markot value of similar sugar at thotime of delivery in 1893, and will commence work- ing their larga refinery in St. Louis just as soon ns o six months' supply can be given them from any or all of the beet root produc- Ing states.” The journal quoted labors under a slight misapprehoension upon one point. Iv assumes that the idea of erecting re- fineries in Nebraska has not yet been put into actual practice, whereas the truth is that all the beets grown in this state are made into refined sugar here. Elsewhere in the same editorial the Commercial Bulletin says: We do not believe that the beet root growers and raw sugar manufacturers of Nebraska will accept this advice. In fact, there is no greater menace to the success of beet root sugar culture in the United States than the sugar trust. Unless the raw sugar manufacturers shall be able to put their sugar upon the market ready for consump- tion they will be at the mercy of the sugar trust. There is now but oue buyer of raw sugar in the United States, and the farmers of Nebraska have but to observe the history of the Standard Oll trust to cee what their future will be if forced to sell their sugar to the sugar trust only. This is very good counsel from an able source. The sugar trust will eagerly covet the raw product of Nebraska, and if the present rate of increase in beet culture here is maintained 1t will soon be a product worth reaching for. But there are no signs of any tendency on the part of the Nebraska farmers to play into the hands of the sugar trust. There is no reason why they should do s0. As matters now stand they have nothing to gain by seeking to place the refining business entirely in the hunds of this giant monopoly, There is plenty of money and enterprise in this state to provide as many sugar refinerios as the growth of the beet producing industry may demand, and the local pride of our producers will iead them to encourage the home manufacturer rather than to promote any interest of such an octopus as the sugar trust. The time may oot be far distant when the sugar refineries of this stute will be among its greatest industries. Nebraska for Nebraskans, and may the sugav business grow! HOMES FOR THE HOMES Two homeseeking excursions will come to Nebraska this year, one on August 30 and the other on Soptember 27. It isa common practice in every new und fresh settlement to present highly colored inducements to eastern people who are seeking to better their condition, and not uafrequently a severe penalty is paid for excessive booming whon the deceived homesecker pulls up his stukes and moves away, leaving those who have expected to become sud- denly rich by inflated real estate values to mourn and find fault with the hard decrees of fate. Nebraska passed beyond the experi- mental period muny years ngo. Among the states west of the Mississippl it ranks as an old commonwealth.

Visitorsare always welcomed here. THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE. General John W. Foster was yesler- day appointed secretary of state by President Harrison and the appoint- ment was promptly confirmed by the senate. Gonersl Foster's diplomatic experience fits him for the position. He has been minister to Russia, Mexico and Spain and had a great deanl to do with negotiating thé reciprocity arrangement with the latter country. He hasalso represented the State dspartment in the negotiation of other reciprocity agree- ments, and no one has a more thorough knowledge of that policy. He has been under the present administration tho diplomatic attorney of the State depart- ment, and in that relation has proved himself a most able and useful official. General Foster is said to be entirely fa- miliar with every phase of the Bering sen controversy, and as tho arbitration is near at hand his counsel will be im- portant and valuable. Besides his ex- tensive experience in diplomatic affairs, the now secretary of state is a lawyer of superior attainments. He enjoys the full confidence of the president and is in complete harmony with his views on all the subjects with which the State de- partment has at prosent to deal. He is to be credited to Indiana, although for anumber of yeats a resident of the Dis- trict of Columbia. The State department under the pres- ent administration has received a larger share of the attention of the president than has béen usasl. During the pro- longed illness of Mr. Blaine the affairs of the department wore closely looked after by President Harrison, and it is a well known facy that a great deal of the correspondence in the Bering sea mat- ter and the Chilian controversy eman- ated directly from the president. It is altogether probable that the presidsnt will continue to devote a great deal of attention to the department and to per- sonally direct its utterances upon all matters already under consideration or which may hereafter ariss. Himself an able lawyer,well versed in international law and evidently having a taste for diplomatic discussion, President Harri- rison will undoubtedly continue to give close attention to our international re- lations and to give direction to the for- eign policy of the government so far as he has authority. In view of the very successful manage- ment of international affairs, largely due to the attention and interest of the president, the country is warranted in expecting that the excellent record al- ready made will be maintained, regard- less of who is at the head of the Depart- ment of State, and this without disparag- ing in the slightest degree the experi- enced and able diplomatist who now oc- cupies that position. General Foster is in every way qualified for the important duties of secretary ofstate. Indeed, there is probably no man in the country better oquipped for them, and unquestionably he will fully maintain the high sta.dard of the leading cabinet office. STEVENSON HAS AN I The democratic candidate for vice president, Adlai E. Stevenson, has an issue which he considers to be more momentous than all others. It 1s the so-called force bill, the measure intro- duced in the Fifty-first congress provid- ing for free and fair federal elections in every state of the union. Mr. Stevenson has been intorviewed by a representative of the New York Sun, to whom he said that while the tariff issue is more important than the silver issue, more important than both is the *‘despicable and dangerous force ,bill.” This, in the opinion of the geuntleman whose political distinction rests upon the fact that he put some 50,000 democrats in fourth class postoflices in the place of republicans, is the main issue, and he remarked that *it is so far-reaching in its consequences that its importance cannot be over-estimated to tho people of the southern states and to the peo- of the country.” He declared ch legislation would destroy the peace, prosperity and happiness of the people of the scuth, and asserted as a fact of personul knowledge that the negroes in the southern states are as woll treated as the whites on election day, snd have little if any cause to complain. The reason for the professed fear on the part of the democratic cundidate for vice president and some others of his party that in the event of republican success there might be legislation to se- cure everywhere a - froe ballot and an honest count is found in the plank of the republican platform which demands “‘that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and un- vestricted ballot inall publie elections, and that such bailot shali be counted and returned as cast,” and which de- clares that *‘the free and honest popular ballot, the just and equal representation of all the people, as well as their just and equal protection under the laws, ure the foundation of our republican institu- tions.” Is there nnything wlarming in this? Is there anything in the demand and the declaration that any patriotic eiti- z0n, honestly desiving that every other citizen, white or black, shall be secure in the enjoyment of the most essential and valuable right of citizenship, can- not endorse? And if it bo a fact, as all well-informed men know it to be, that 4,000,000 of eitizens are not permitted to freely exercise this right, guaranteed by the constitution of the countr is it not the daty of the political party which has always insisted upon a free and honest ballot to take notice of thefact and to demand that the wrong be remedied? The republican party would be faithless to its character and its tra- ditions if it were to ignore the fact of a large body of citizens being deprived of their sovereign right of suffrage at overy federal election, and the party will forfeit its claim to the coafidence and support of patriotie and fair-minded citizens whenever it shall cease to have the courage to denounce and protest against an injustice which menaces re- pullican institutions and is a reproach Ylnconuhwncy. as manifest as it is vain, to the nation. Mr. Stevenson will hardly succeed, oven with the vfl bio assistance of the New York Sui, “m\lnng the so-called force bill a leading issuo in the cam- paign. The democratic party will not be allowed to evade the issue it has made against the system of American protec- tion and in favor of free trade. or Lo dodge the fuct that a very large ma- jority of the party are willing to debase the currency by opening the mints of the country to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. No subterfuge wili be permitted to interfere with the full discussion of theso issues, and it mat- ters not which of them is regarded as the more important. The force bill may do service for the purpose of keeping the south solid, butit cannot bo made to have any terror for the people of the north, The farmers, the business men and the great army of inbor, who are deeply concorned in the growth of American industries, the extension. of Amevican commerce, and the maintenance of a sound und stsble currency, will not have their attention drawn away from the questions in which these conditions of national progress and prosperity are involved. But it is interesting to know that the demoeratio candidate for vice president, who in the event of his election might reach the highest office in the republic, believes that it is the fivst and greatest duty of his party to antagonize the demand for a freq and honest ballot 1n every section of the country. WHEN Governor McKinloy said in his New York speech tbat tha billion-aollar congress, which the democrats say so much about, was reaily a two billion- dollar congress, he opened the eyes of his audience. It wasa two billion-dol- lar congress, he said, because under the operation of tho laws which it passed our domestic trade increased -a billion dollars and our foreign trade amounted to a billion and twenty million doilars, the iike of which was never known in American history. The republican party can very well afford to go befors the country upon such a record as that. The democrats said that this tariff law would be prohibitive and that it would neither let us out nor let other coun- tries in, and yet it is plainly shown that this country never in its history had such a trade before. The republican system of duties upon foreign importa- tions seems to have worked very well since the McKinley law was put into effect, and those who have studied its results without prejudice will vote for a coutinuance of the same policy. THE thousands of people who will come to Omaha next week, most of whom will ronfifi hero several days, will leave a large amount of money in the city. This will not be expended wholly for accommodations. Most of them will take this opportunity to pro- vide themselves wizh many, things not readily to be obtained at their homes and which the’i: tan ‘get ‘here more cheaply. Hundreds of them: will look about for the superior bargains which Omaha can offer. It is presumed that our wideawake merchants fully appreci- ate this, and that they wifl improve so excellent an opportunity to apprise the visitors of what they have worthy of their attention. Next week can hardly fail to bring large rewards to those business men who attract the attention of the people by liberally advertising their goods. Tre World-Herald is frothing at the mouth because the authorities have, in response to a public demand, voted in- significant sums of money to help meet the expense of a befitting celebration of the Fourth. Hadnot the national con- vention come to Omaha on Independ- ence day there probably would huvo been less of an efiort to make the cele- bration a notable one. But an exigency has arisen and it is the duty of this city to make some demonstration in keeping with the two great events. It is-true there 1s no authority in law for the ap- propriation of these small sums, and it is no less true that there should be pro- vision made to cover the necessary ex- pense of public entertainments and cole- brations. TrE course of true politieal love does not always run smooth in the royal cir- cles of Europe. The betrothal of Cr Prince Ferdinand of Roumania to Prin- cess Marie of Edinburg is the cause of a great deal of trouble. Iivery day or two Princess Marie receives an old love letter sent by the crown prince to Mlle. Helen Nerasco, whose love affair with him created a sensation and a decided political disturbance in Roumanian pol- itics some time ago. American lovers have a great deal less trouble than those connected with the royal families of Europe. — ¢ ARRANGEMENTS for accommodating visitors to Omaha during the session of the people’s party convention next week are about complgtéd, and the committee has no doubt that everybody will be properly taken civé of. Private families desiring guests cum secure them by ap- plying to the committee, whose head- quarters is undfé the Millard hotel, The indications dra that there will be more people in Omaha next week than have ever been Hage before at one time, and they will alizhe entertained. TrE proofs of m:,vluml's hostility to the republidan AR luw multiply day by day. This AN to show that it is a good law for Ambflea and a bad law for Eagland. Thisds ss it should be. It means that the American manufacturer und laborer are’ protecteéd and that the English manufacturer and his employes are the losers by “this’ policy. Public sympathy o uhis slds of the Atlanu witl go out to the workingmen of Eng- land. They are not to blame for the free trude system which makes them poor. — THE full capacity of our hotels and restaurants will be taxed Monday. Com- petent judges declare that Omaha has never been called upon to entertain as great a number of peoplo us will cor- tainly visit us next week ———m THE democratic platform declares against Chinese immigration and con- tract laborers from abroad, but with an it declaims for the importation of free raw material anl goods manufactured by the cheap labor of Europe. Every laboring man can seo that the movement they favor would do more damage to the workingmen than all the Chinese or contract laborers on earth. OMAHA has been selected as the next meeting place of the grand lodge of the C. 8. P. S, of Ne- braska, which has just closed its sossion at West Point. The lodge does not meet again for four years, but none the less Omaha approciates the favor shown it, and we can safely give the assurance that the city will then be even more attractive than it is now.

The senate today, upon motion of Senator Sherman amending &n amendment to tne legislative, executive and judicial appropria- uon bill submitted by Senator Carey of Wyoming, reduced the compensation of the Utah commissioners from $5,000 to $2,000 a year. The motfon of Senator Fanikner of West Virginia to abolish the commission en- tirely was defeated by four votes, Senators Carey and Warren of Wyominy both voting in its favor. As the amendment makes tho commissioners residents of Utah, ail of the present commission will have to resign if the | provision becomes a law, and there is little doubt it will stand.
