THE reports of the Parnell meetings in Ireland are interesting, but the state- ment that *“fights were numerous” is al- together superfiuous.

The seizure was simply the rosult of an infraction of the rovenue rule which requires that vessols shall report at tho first port of entry, which the Coquitlan failed to do. Thus anothor war cloud is dissipated. o dofond himself ted is cont W very much foar that the republi- cans of tho Bighth lowa distei are about to muke a blunder in their con- gressionul nomination.

The Sioux City Dvibune observes thut “the New Haven News, ulways a vopublican puper, has come out for Cleveland and Steven; The News has never been a republi the puner, but hus elaimed to be an inde- pendent paper and so stated in the ar- ticle in which it flopved to Cleveland. ‘I'ne fact is the New Haven News has al- ways been a thinly disguised demoeratic sheet of very limited influence. HENRY GrorGE and the single tax received no notice from the convention aod you thore are more people in Qoth parties who secrotly or openly sympa- thize with the single tax theory thun any of the erazy schemes of supplying poople with wenlth by issues of irre- deemuble currency and sublreasury loans. And oven the land tax tneory is vulnerable in many points and eould not be enforced without converting all our furmers into tenants with Uncle Sam as wle landlord, THE SILVER B'LL. It appears that the silver men in con- | gross have hoen thrown into confusion | by the discovery that the effect of the free coinage bill passed by the senato last I'r day will be to demonetize coin notes to the amount of more than $80,000,000 and postpone their redemption until con- gross nuthorizes it. In repealing the act of 1500 tho silver bill does not pre- serve the legal tender quality of the | coin notes issued under that act, and Mr. Bland and others in the house hold that the practical effectof this is todemonetize the notes. There are still others who hold that the law of 1890 involves a con- teact which is not invalidated by the re- peal of that act. At any rate the ques tion has oaused a good deal of disturb- ance in the silver ranks, not becavse it creates a difficulty that cannot easily be remedied, but for the reason that it ma result in proionging tho session. The matter is interesting chielly as showing that in their haste to secure legisiation on this subject the silver men are not at all solicitous about dstails. The measure has gone to the house, which will provide by amendment what is deemed to be defective. Speculation will now bs in order as to the probable fate of the measure in that body. It would seem to be the purpose of those friendly to the measurc to press itto | consideration, but wheth they will be more successful than on a former sion is altogether problematical, anti-free silver democrats may reason- ably be expected to make ns carnest and vigorous u fight they did against tho Bland bill, but it is a question whethc they will now have the help of the re publicans as they did then. The situation has somewhay changed, and the republicans may not feel called upon to again interpose to prevent tho democrats from passing a free silver bill if o majority of them desive to do so. It is not difiicuit to see that reasons for doing this which were good two months ago may not be equally valid now, and that it might aven bo expedient, from n political point of view, to lev the demo- erats in cong ess go squarely on record in favor of the feee and unlimited coin- age of silver by the passage of a bill which President Harrison unquestion- ably would veto. All but niae demo- eratic senators went on record for this policy in the vote of last Friday and doubtless i majority of the democrats 1n the house will support the Stewart bill, which is as extreme a free silver mea ure as was ever framed. So far as Prosident Harrison cerned. the passage of n free coinage bill would doubtless cause him no con- It would give him au opportunity to appeal to the intelligent judgment of the country on this question with a full- ness and force which could hardly fait to exert u most wholesome inlluenco even upon the people of thesilver state many of whom, it is fuir to assume, are not incapable of appreciating argument, that conflicts with the theories and the demands of the mino owners. At any rate, the country may feel assured that if the president is called upon to deal with this question he will not hesitate to do what he belioves to be his duty, having rogard for the interests and wel- fare of the whole peopie. is con= 'n, 1N O TERANCE, The Temmany society of New Yor! celebrated the Fourth of July in accord- anco with its custom, and the assembled in the wigwam were reguled with a communication from Cleveland in which he d that ‘‘polit- ical organization is oniy effective and successful when approved and tested by intelligent popular government.” Liko many of Mr. Cleveland’s utterances thi. has lofty sound, but its meaning is very obscure. Considering that it was addrvessed to Tammany it is probable that it means that nothing succeods like success, But it may mean a number of things. How can intelligent popular government approve and test the effect- iveness and suceess of political organiza tion? It is obvious that it cannot do it I Effective organization bears no ion whatever to intelligent populae government. Mr. Cleveland appears to have had some words at his command, but no ideas. Bult it is interesting to note that the democratic cundidate for the presidenc, is beginning to recognize the importance of effective political organization. He finds in Tammany a shining example of such organization, though the great municipal government which it specially controls, and the state government in which it has lately gained great power, do not appear to be either intelligent or popular, The truth is that M, Cleveland fecls tho need of Tammuny’s wsid. He did not eare for it at Chicago, but the situation is wonderfully changed now. He is convinced that something must bo done in the way of practical politics. wmmany will certainly do somathing practical. The New York delegation at Chicago said that it would. It promised with much fervor that Tam- braves Grover many would slay Grov Cleveland and that will be practical enough. In that event porhaps it may be said that intel- higent popular government approves und tests the effoctiveness of political organ- ization. PATRIOTISM IN OMAIIA, Omaha may well feel proud of the great Fourth of July demonsteation, It was an enthusiastic nnd almost sponta- neous outhurst of genuine patriotism. Never hofore huve vhe people of all classes and conditions entered thoroughly into the spirit of the cecasion. With only fen duys of preparation and a very limited amount of money our citizens not only made a creditable exhi- bition of celebrating Indepeadence day with all the pomp and circumstance of processions, illuminations and discharge of guns and erackers, but they actually surprised themselvos by the magnitude of the imposing spectacle witnessed by the 100,000 puople that crowded our princinal thoroughfares. The impression cannot eficial. We have convinced ourselves as well 4s the many thousands from abroad that Omaha is really a metropo- lis capablo of entertaining her own peo- vle and visitors as well as any other eity fuil to be ben- of the b west, We have had strik- ing oeulur proof of our ability to get up a big demonstration on very short notice, und this fact suggests the pro- priety of making Owaba’s Fourth of July celebrations hereafter occasions of great interstate gatherings, in which the people of Nebraska, Town, Missouri, | South Dakota and Kansas who live within 150 200 miles will find it | pleasuradle and profitable to participate. What we have done on the Fourth this year on ten days’ notice, with less | thun §5,000, affords proof of what a | sur and impressive demonstration we might make with two months’ prep aration and £20,000 or $25,000 for deco- rations, fireworks, balloon famous racers, tournaments and musical to ascensions, THEE OMAHA DAILY BEE festivals. THE NEW PARLY CANDIDATES. The candidates of the people’s party for president and vice president of the United States will not attract votes b reason of the superiority of either their abilities or their characters. They do not bring to the cause of the new party the prestige of illustrious achievement in any direction. They have never given ovidence of pre-eminentability eithor in public station or in the affairs of private life. Neither has ever shown any broad knowledge or elevated conception of statesmanship. They are citizens of good character, but no botter in this re- spect than a million other men who are their peers in ability. They were pre- forred by the people’s party because for a number of years they huve buen con- spicuously aggressive in their hostility to existing conditions and represent as fully as any others in that party the it of discontent and dissatisfaction which is the reason for its being. General Weaver, the candidate for president, made n creditable record as a union soldier. Fora quarter of a cen- tury he has shown an inordinate desire for public ofhce and during more than half of that time he has been in office. e served three terms in congress and distinguished himself chiefly as an ob- structionist. [t is not remembered that he originated any valuable legislation, though it is quite possible thut he may have assisted, in one way ov another, in the enactment of some. He succeeded, however, in attracting public attention. Never heartily in sympathy with either of the old parties, he readily iden- titied himself with and became a leader of the greenback party, which came into being under the respectable and respon- sible leadership of the philanthropic Peter Cooper, and in 1880 was made the presidentinl candidate of that party, v ceiving a few more than 500,000 vote out of more than 9,000,000 cast at olection of that year. General Weaver has steadfastly adhered to the financial ws he ndopted at that time, nud his nomination by the people’s party on a platform favo.ing fiat currency is ther fore consistent and logical. His p: position is entirely in rmony with that of a party which proposes to get something for nothing. The candidate for vice president, Gen- eral Field of Virginia, has until now en- joyed only a local fame, but it appears that he has for soe years been more or less industriously agitating in his own state the principles which have brought into life the new political organization spi the e was a soldier in the confederate sorvice, and according to those who vouched for his claims to the considera- tion of the new party, he was as zenlous as any of his compeers in his etforts to destroy the union. Doubtless, like most of his associates in that undertaking, ho Is no regret at what he did, butbeing now a loyal citizen he wants to overturn the policies and principles of the party that preserved the union and substitute somo of those which wero promised in the event of the success of the confeder- acy In the campuign of education upon which the country is entering the can- didates as well as the principies of the people’s party will receive cureful con- sideration. It does not seem at all probable that they will grow in popular regard as men to be preferred to the candidates of the old parties in the highest offices of the republic. THE COAL MONOPOL For the third time within three months the coul combine has advanced the price of anthracite coal. This increase took effect several days ago, but has not yet produced any effcet here. At this tim last. year anthracite was selling in Omaha at $).25 per ton: now the uniform price is fixed by the Coal exchange of the city at $10 per ton, But it is antici puated by local dealers that the price will he advanced beyond this figure and it is impossible to coniract for antheacite for future delivery at the figure now numed. Of course the prices prevailing in Omahaare governed by the combination, The dealers hioro are agents of the pro- ducers and are obligea to maintain prices in accordance with the principles which always govern dealers who huve no power to influence the sources of sup- ply. The people of Omahn will un doubtedly witness during the next six months advances in the cost of conl equal to those which have taken place since last summer. Ten dollars a ton is enough to pay for conl—indeed it is en- tirely too much-—but the end is not yet, The logical result of the oppressive policy adopted by the conl barons will be u great falling off in the consumption of the products of the mines which they control. Retrenchment in this direc- tion will not be ecasy for the citizens of Omaha, beesuse the cheap bituminous coul at theirdisposal is a poor substitute for anthracite, but in many localities where coke and wood may be had at reasonuble prices there will e a greatly veduced consumption of anthracite. The ovens of Pennsylvania pro- duce an excellent fuel, by many consia- ered nearly equal to anthracite coal, at prices ranging under #4 a ton to con- sumers in adjacent states. This excel- lent fuel ought to be cheaper than it is in the west and might eusily be made so. It is evident that the coul monopolists are overreaching themsolves. They are fixing prices that must inevitably lesson the demand for anthracite, and as they do not by any means control all the cosl lunds in the country they will sooner or luter meet with competitors who will dispute their supremacy in the market. This vast monopoly, like all others, grows more grasping and greedy as it grows in wealth und power. It wants the earth immediately and cannot see that it is sure to shorten its sales and thurefore its profits by its system of ox uction aud oppression, No monopoly coke WID] E b has ever theived long upon such a pol- icy There is s limit to public patience under heavy ahd 'heedless burdens and the people witi{ sooner or later find reliel. ) But this systemi of public plunder is exceedingly profitable whi'e it lasts and those who are engaged in it will un- doubtedly make fdrtunes by it before the tide is the wirns againgt them. This basis of their theory. It is similar to the method of 'the robher who goes through a railrond train. He secures his booty before ihis vietims have had timo to recover'from their amazement at his bold plan of proceduro. The states of I’ennsyivanin and New Jersey huve commenced procecdings in the courts to compel these conl barons to consider the interests of the people. In fact these procedings were com- menced months aro, and there is already some public impatience at the delay. It is to be hoped that the suspicion that the coal monopolists are influencing the courts will prove to be unfounded. PuBLIC interest in the vrogram of the Twin City Chautanqua is growing. On July 7 Congressman Blind is announced to speak for the free coinage of silver and on tho Sth Congressman Walker of Massnchusetts will present a powerful rgument against the proposition and in support of the present policy of the gov- ernment. Almost every day until July 17 is filled with attractive fertures, The people of Omaha are taking o great deal of interest in the Council Blufls Chau- tauqua enterprise and are patromzing it liberally. It issafe to say that therve is no better place near at hand in which to take a day’s outing. Tue facy that Mr. Fred Nash has de- cided to resign his position as eeneral western agens of the Chicigo, Milwau- keo & St. Paul railway to assumo the position of general manager of the Ne- braska Centeal affords gratifying proof that the company means business this time. While it may take some months before active operations ean be begun, all the preliminaries of syrveying and making plans for bridging the river 1d tunneiing the road to South Omaha will doubtless be prosocuted with energy and ail the cngineering skill that muy be required. It ArrEARS that \. Hauser of Indinna and Judge Gresham do not agree as to what the latter said when the former asked him if he would accept the nomination offored him by the peo- ple’s party. Mr. Hauser made consider- able trouble by his dispateh, which said: 1 have justsech Grosham; if unanimous he will not refuse, Judge Gresham in- forms a represeutative of the Associated Press that he did not say anything to the effect that ha would accept, but on the contrary he stood by his previous declination.

Both men are well known in Washington as straight out democrats, and no one bhere will beliove for a moment that republican farmers or laborors will support oither of thom unless itis thoir purpose to vote the democratic ticket. Cabinet officors and ro publicans in congress declare that theso nom- Not the wations must surely bave been made under a misapprehension of facts. 1t it was the inlention to draw strongth from the republican column, the only differonce which there can bo founa 1 the croeds of Weaver and Field as against Clovoiand and Stovenson is in their open ad- vocacy of the unlimitod ana unrestrictod froo coinnge of silver, When Weavar was in con- gress sixand oight yoars azo and four vears a0, tie occupiod a soat 1n tho very center of tae'democratic side of tho nouse. Ho was a foromost advocate of free trade, and of tho ablest champions of ail tnat was steaight- out democratic. He 1s an eloguent spoakor and was generally put forward by tho democrats to defend their princivles. He nover displaved the least symptom of independence, alway standing firm for old uitra-demoeratic prin- ciples, oxvept possibly finance. He was for free coinage, an_unlimited issue of grcen- backs, ana stood for all that was wildeat the theories of the inflationists. 1t is believed horo that the ticket made ‘at Omaha lnst night will sorve only to draw votes from tho demoeratic ranks of the south, as the republicans north and all vot- ers who have not a straignt-out demosratic tendency will refuse to be hovdwinked oy the latform as against tho records of tho two candidates themselves Republican Leaders Pleased, “Nominations moro favorablo to the repub- licans could not have Leon made. The hoad of tho ticket is tho very fellow we wanted named.” “These were the expressions used this after- noon by Senator Paddock ot Nebraska in ex- pressing himself upon the presidential and vico presidential nominations Ly the people’s party. Senator Paddoci continued: *James B. Weaver of lowa is the prince of dema wozues. He endorses every princivle in the democratic decalogue, and a good mauy wore, Ho is tho most insane tinancial fanauc in the country.
