ThE Boglish vote soveral days longer than we do at our elections, but we know botter how to count, Tue Towa republican convention had moro sense and less oratory than any state convention of the year.

First ballots are very fashionable this year. EDWARD BELLAMY says the people’s party will not nominate a ‘barrel.” ainly not, but how about a hogshead Dr. Brow QUARD is attempting to revive interest in his great medicine in Paris. We fear that his cause needs more of that elixir of life than anything elso. THE eastern papers are saying that Chairman Campbell must be introduced. Hardly necessary. We western people do not take kindly to such useless form- alities. THE Cleveland forces in their en- deavors to adjust factional quarrels will discover the truth of the old saw, *‘Next to defont there is nothing so disastrous as victory.” OUR old Omaha friend, Henry M. Stanley, was nowled down yesterday while attempting to make a spoech. Ho ought to bring out that cclebrated “roar guard.” THE school board has at last decided to take stops toward benutifying the school grounds, a reform that has been persistently advocated by Tie BEE and many citizens. THE reporters on the London dailies recoive their assignments by mail and turn in their matter the sams way. The London papers look as if they received all their ‘‘news” by mail. Tur democratic editors who were en- gaged in the clocutionary entertainment of reading Tammany out of the party ave now exercising their oratory in try- ing to read those fellows in again. T prohibition motto proposed by Tx-Governor St. John at the Cincinnati convention is this: *“No fusion, no deals, no compromise.” He should have added, “no rum.” In the states now under prohibition the evils of rum-sell- ing are severely felt.

When he was first assistant postmaster general under Clevoland he cut off the heads of re- publican postmastors in a manner that plensed those democrats who hold that **public oflice is a private cinch.” Tue plank in the democratic platform in favor of restoring state bank notes to circulatior. by repealing the tax upon them does not please Honrey Watterson. Heo says itis the g error of the platform. *If anything has come out of the civil war for the benefit of every- body,” he says, “it isa good currency.” This being the ease, and the republican party baving brought about that result, it is evident that the only way to make sure of being on the safe side is to put forth every effort for the election of its candidates and the perpetuation of its wise financial polic vost THE people are to be ngratulated upon the fact that work upon park and boulevard improvements is likely to be begun within u short time, that is, as g00n a8 the landscape gardener can com- plote plans. It is to be assumed, or at any rate to be hoped, that Mr. Cleve- land will proceed with his task promptly, so that the community will be enabled to realize before the close of the summer that progress hus been mado in glving Omuba these improvements. Phere is & groat deal of popular inter- o5t in the subject of parks aud boule- vards which should be duly recognized by those who are charged with the duty of providing them. TTHE REPUBLICANS The republicans of lowa dre preparing for the contest of 1892 with a judicious apprehansion of what the situation de- mands. The state eonvention, held on Wednesday, wasaominated by the right spirit and gave evidence of n determir tion to make the campaign vigorous and aggressive. The platform unqualifiedly approves the nominations made at Min neapolis and the declaration of princi ples enunciated by the national conven tion. It properly denounces the demand of the democratic party, made in its national platform, for the repeal of the tax on notes issued by state banks, the effect of which would be to restore the wildeat paper currency with which the country flooded before the war, to the great injury and loss of the pro- ducers and workingmen who received it. The democrats in congress have pro- posed that this tax ba abolished, and the action of the Chicago convention commits the party to this policy. No legislation that could be enacted would be more certainly destructive of the sound currency system of the country, and it is surprising to find any body of men, intelligently informed regarding our currency history, favoring such a proposition. The republicans of Lowa have done well in calling publie atten- tion to this plan of the democ-acy for restoring a system which for three- quarters of a century was a repronch to the nation. Another matter which calls for commendation was the refusal of the convontion to introduce any local issue into the campaign. This year nationul questions are on trial before the sov- ereign tribunal of the people, and all others can wisely and safoly bo loft for future discussion. The outlook for the republican party in Iowa is bright. Itis froc from dis- cord or disaffection and is imbued with a spirit of courage and confidence. The general prosperity of the poople has never been higher than now, and tuis fact, for which there is the testimony of the same democratic governor who more than two years ago deplored the conditions prevailing there, is an all- suflicient answer to the democratic as- sertion that the people have suffered from the fiseal policy of the republican party. When the intelligent farmers of Towa shall have balanced their accounts for the year, which they will have done before clection day next November comes around, and find that income has exceeded expenditures, even though the latter have been more liberal than usual, it will not be possible to deceive them with the false chirge of the dem- ocracy that the tariff is robbery and that iprocity is a sham. Knowing that both the home and the foreign markets for their products have been cnlarged, with every assurance that they will steadily expand if repub- lican policies are maintained, and re- membering ulso that it is the republ party which has kept the currency sound and stable against the assaults of democracy upon the financial integrivy of the nation, the farmers of Towa, as of other states, will rally to the support of the republican cause as the one which appeals to their intelligence, their patriotism and their intecest SENATE AND HOUSE AT 0DDS. The effort of the democratic majority in the house of representatives to make political capital by paring down appro- priations, regardless of the effect in im- airing the efficiency of the pubiie ser- vice, has very properly been antagonized by the senate. With the exception of the river and harbor bill all approprin- tions have been cut down by the house committees below the estimates of the various departments and bureaus of the government, and in most cases these re- ductions are so large that damage to the pubiic business would inevitably result and heavy deficiencies have to be here- after provided for. The house started out with the intention of reducing the expenditures of the government to the extent of at least $100,000,000, and while this iden has been abandoned as im- practicable the effort has been made to get s near to that amount as possible without bringing a part of the machin- ery of the government to a standstill. In some cases this cheese-paring pol- icy has provoked the opposition of dem- ocrats themselves. Chairmen of com- mittees, who had at stake some personai reputation for common sense and folt some concern for the interests of the public service, have vigorously comoat- ted the extreme retrenchment policy ns applied to portions of the public service for which their committees report ap- propriations. Opposition has ulso come from democratic representatives whose sections are interested in coast defenses and in the construction of u navy ada- quate for protection. But with rare e ceptions this opposition has been futile, the majority in the house doggedly ad- he t Holman plan of 10WA ing to the mizing The senate, however, has declined to be made a party to a policy inimical to the public service, and has increased the appropriations to the amounts or near them estimated to be necessary by the heads of departments and the chie of bureaus. This confer- ences, and it huas happened that the ve- ports of two of these conferences have been rejected by the house, an unusual proceeding which has quite naturally caused some indignation on the purt of the seunate, since in a senso it calls in the right of the senate to ppropriation bills, The con- sequence is an issue which bids fair to greatly prolong the session, as senators are disposed to insist upon o pr oper r ognition of their prerogatives, while the democrats in the house threaten to re- main in session all summer before ac- cepting the senate amenaments increas- ing appropriutions, and also to refuse to pass any resolution tonding the an- propriations for the support of the gov- ernment beyond July 19, which, if car- ried out, would bring the public busi- ness to a halt after that date, 1t is not the first time that the senato and the house have been at odds ve- garding appropriations, but we do not vecall any parallel case to the attitude of the present house. Everybody de sires thut the expenditures of the gov- ernwent be kept within the limits con- sistent with the proper and eflicient con- duct of the public service, but 1t can be demonstrated that most of the appropri- econo- necessitites question amend THE OMAHA ations passea by the house are bolow | such limit. [t is possible that in some cuses the senate wmendments have in- crensed the appropriations more than necossary, but it cannot be fairly ques- tioned that in the main its course hus been right, and that now as many times before, when having to stand hetween the interests of the public sorvice and the efforts of a democratic house to muke political capital, it mevits the ap- proval of the public. A NEW DEAL IN THE SOUTH, The loadors of the people’s party in the south declare that thoy expect to carry several southern states and will ainly split the solid south this year. Those who at the hoad of this or- ganization in the southern states are, or at least have been, democratic leadors, and it is reasonable to suppose that they are perfectly familiar with the situation and well posted upon the methods by which the republican vote in their gec- tion of the country has bean suppressed in the past. Muny of the colored people of the south have joined the people’s party. 1t is claimed, and these former democratic leadors now say that the votes of these people shall be cast and counted. They propose to give the mat- ter their personal attention, and it can- not be doubted that every vote in favor of the candidates of the people’s party, whether east by a negroora white man, will be duly recognized as a legitimate and proper vote. This is right, and no friend of the ‘volored man will question the propriety of his voting the ticket placed in his hands by these leaders of the people’s party in the states wh the right of suffrage has hitherto been denied him. Let him do as he chooses as to purties and candidates. Whether he votes the republiean, the democratic or the peo- pl ticket, let him have an equal chance at the polls with other men. That is now and has always been the re- publican principle, and for that prin- ciple the party has contended ever since the colored man became a voter. ‘I'ne point to which public attention is now directedis that theseold democratic managers of the south, having allied themselves with a new political organi- zation, have entircly changed thei titude toward the colored voter. It W impossible to make him a democrat, but he looks with no disfavor upon the peo- ple’s party, and therefore he and his old democratic enemy are for the first time able to meet upon a common ground. He is now to be protected in his exe cise of the right of suffrage by the very nen who denied him that right when he was o republican und they were demo- crats We merely take these southern leaders of the people’s party at their word. They say that they will carry some of the southern states by taking mensures for the protection of the colored voter. They are no longer democrats and have therefore abun- doned the demoeratic plan for one be ter suited to their present purpose. It 15 a wise policy. They will now win the votes of many colored men who have despaired of ever being uble to secure their rights at the polls under other conditions. This goes to show how truthfully the condition of the southernnegro has been stated hy the republican party. He is to have a better chance now that many of his old democratic enemies have taken a position which changes the re- lation between them and him. The people’s party 18 opposing both of the old organizations, and as its most promising field of work is in the south it proposes to have the votes of the southern negroes cast and counted. The results of the efforts which the ex-demo- eratic membera of the people’s party propose to put forth to this end will be looked forward to with interest. They are well acquainted with the methods by which the southern states have been kept solid for the demoe because they have themselves participated in the practice of those methods. If the colored man who wishes to vote the people’s ticket does not have the oppor- tunity to do so they will be likely to find out the reason wh cor SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN WEST. Much that is said by Governor Mer- rinm of Minnesota in his able articlo in the North American Review for July will ive the nnqualified approval of peo- ple who are acquuinted with the great northwest, which is the subject treaved. After giving some unt of the won- dorful progress that has been made in the development of the region referred to he speaks of the needs of the country, the prime essentials to higher develop- ment anil more substantial progress along the lines of the truest and best civilization. irst among the dangers which beset the new northwest he men- tions undesivable immigration, and in this connection he takes oceasion to say that every individual tainted with com- munism or anarchism should be kept out by foree of islation. Another need. he says. 15 the greater participa- tion in public uflairs by men of influence and good character, and he alleges that government is left too largely to the ignorant und vicious, No doubt the needs of whic Merriam sy THE NORTH- le; iovernor snks nre to o greier or less dogreo the needs of every communit but they are certainly much less ap purent in the northwest than in the east and south, To refer to communism, an- archism, government by the ignorunt and vicious, ete., as conditions of the vilization of the new northwest is liable to ereate erroneous impressions in the minds of people unacquiinted with the state of society in the region under consideration. o far as outward signs go it would seem as if the undesirable immigration which sows the seeds of an- archy in the United States is very far from being the kind of immigration that has populated the northwest. The pe ple who are developing its vast resources conspicuously an industrious and thrifty clugs, and industry and thriftare never found associated with ideas that are dungerous to social order or healthy progress, Nowhere else in the United States is therve 8o little reason for the complaint that the ignorant and vicious exert too great an influence in the managemont of affaivs. Perhaps the author of the ure DAILY EBE FRIDAY article reforred to would not regard Ne braska as o past of the northwest, but in any event it is in the main populated by a cliss similar to that which has penctrated 1HE® whola rorthwestern country, and the fact that the ratio of ignorance is smaller in this state than it any other in the union goes to show that there is little ground for apprehen- sion that ignorance and vice will gain a formidable foothold in the now states. These points are only incidental in Governor Merriam’s discussion of his subject. The dangers reforred to do not really exist in a serious form and it is to be hoped that a fals impression will not prevail concerning the state of society in the new north- west. The immigration that ueeds to ve guarded aguinst by means of legisla- tion is pioducing its evil effects almost wholly in the great centevs of popula- tion, and the perils inscparable from government by the ignorant and vicious are mainly confined to the east. THr South Omaha live stock market is at present active, and there isa de- mand for hogs especiully which exceeds the supply, a steady advance in prices being noted. Advices from all the packing centers report a scavcity of hogs; and the indications are that they will go still higher. There is also a good demand for cattle and vhe markets evorywhere ave strong. This fortunate situation for stock raisers is lurgely due to the increused export movement, the result of the opening of European mar- kets to our meat products. The farmers of the country are realizing the beuefits of this, and the more intelligent among them understand and apprecinte the veasons for it. The condition of the markets generally evidences the pros- perity of the agmeultural interests of the country, and the outlook is alto- gether favorable.

Sewara Blade: Paul Vandervoort's name has been mentioned in counection with the nomiuation for the presidency on the inde- pendent ticket, Great Civsar! It is alleged that there is a scheme on foot to sidetrack John H. Powers by giving nim the nomnation for land commissioner. Pow- ers isn’t a party to the scheme and he may have someth ing to say about it. Iepublican clubs are being rapidly formed all over the state, and in old alliance strong- holds, where two years ago u republican had to skulk around 1n the dark, organizations with 100 aud more mermbers are flourishing. The republican central commitiee of the Fifth congressional district will meet shortly and lay plans for a wide-open camvaign. It is proposed to make 1t lively for McKeirhan and Candidate Andrews promises to do his share to make the fight an interesting one. General Van Wyck is quoted as saying that Gresham would be the strongest man the Omaha convention could nominate. The general has made preparations to put off bis corn pluwing in order tw attend the great gathering and help whoop 1t up for the best man. When the indepenaent oreans try to poke fun av rof. Andrews because ho is a Pres- byterian they should remember that Me Keighan claims to have onco beon a Presby terian “so blue he would crock.” Many years ago, though, McKeighan forgot the Calvinistic teachings of his good old mother and foll from grace in the good old Mothodist way. There's a a difference 10 audiences. This fact is shown by the Atchison Globe, whict says: “Henry D, Estabrook, an Omaba lawyer, some months ago delivered a specch in Chicago that attracted editorial comment from most of the papers, and most of the Chicago people said the speech was classic, Mr. Estabrook delivered the same speech at Weeping Water, Neb., some years ago, at a Fourth of July celebration, and ounly four persons sat it out.” Daniel Freeman of Beatrice has been chosen a delegate to the Omaha convention by the Kourth district. Dauniel was the first homesteader in vhi8 United States and iv was from his homestead, that L. E.

While the aistinguished statosman from Maime oceu- pied the important portfolio of the Depart ment of State the honors of the administra- tion were to a considerable degreo divided by the president for his premier. Ho insisted that this and that hooor should ve accorded to Mr. Blaine, becauso it should go 10 bim by custom, President Harrison has never been and never wiH bo the man to take to himselt what would by custom be regarded as undue proportion of credit for work done in con- nection with others, even though he did it himself. President Harrison stands out more prom- inently today in tho places whero the work of the goverment is performed than he has ever stood. As Chauncey M. Depow recently smid, he could fill with signal ability any position within the ¢1fy of the pooplo or tho government, beginning with the chief justice- ship of the supremo court of the United States and going out through congress, every place in the cabinet, the foreign missions and finally landing into the place be now o pies. Such a variety of unusual abiliy was never shown by any president. George Washingion may possibly have had a vetter idea of determining the disputes which existed in his day between this colony and Mother England und other foreign gov. eruments; he may have had as good a con- ception of what was necessary in establish- ing primary rights iu the seas and elsewhere and enforcing them, but no one has ever been 50 presumptious as to compare Washington's legal training to that of Harrison, or Lo say that he was so well acquainted with internal affairs or was equal to domestic emergencies like Harrison has proven himself to be on many occasions. Where Lincoln Was Strong. Lincoln’s great strength was of course in dealing with questions rolating to the war, slavery, abuormal condition in portions of the country which were antagonistic to sther sections, and healing with the hand of forco or kindness which haa rent the people into factions. He was as much of a humani- tarian and philanthropist as statesman, Har- rison would bave croated measures which would probably have averted the groat loss of life, while attaining the samo results. Lincoln was uever the lawyer or_the diplo- mat that Harrison has developed in himsolf. 1t will not e till tho history of this admin- 1stration comes to bo written after President Harrison has retired from his present posi- tion that his services will bo known. It would be on tho verge of immodesty for a friend to tell the whole truth in the most upassuming and matter-of-fact way. It might also be contendea that President Harrison_had attempted to do too much, and as itbas boen said of him by those who did not like him that ho had under- taken to master all of the details of bis ad- ministration, and having them once iu hand was unwilling to entrust them to otiers. This would be unjust. President Harrison has gone out of the customary chauuels to nerform extraordinary duties and those properly belonging to othiers, not becauss ho was unwiiling to trust his subordinates, but because he felt the responsibilities aud wanted to lena bis hetp. Atter all one star shines out most brightly only when otker stars are shining. A singio star i the firmament never appears so very bright.
