Tt convention to republican state ticket within less than four weeks, Victory or disaster in the coming campaign will depend upon the action of that conven: tion in the principles it enunciates and the candidates it nominates. If clean, competent and reputable men are nomi- ated on a platform that deals squarely with the vital issues which concern the shall have a fair chance for redeeming Nebraska, If interests and political nate the convention and dictate its can- dates republican success will be imper iled if not hopeless. Up to this time the party seems to be drifting toward the political maelsirom without sail rudder and there is imminent danger that we shall strand on the rocks by a reckless disregard of popular sentiment. Two years ago when republicans felt conlident that they had at least 10,000 as- sured mujority in the state the party took advanced position on the reforms that were deemed most vital by insect- ing the following pitanks in its platform: We recognize the right of labor to organiz for its protection, and by ali lawfal means to seeure fo itsed tho greatest roward for its thrift and industry. Wo are in favor of laws roads und manufacturers to whieh scienee pominate the masses wo or compeiling rail- uso appliances supnlies for the protection of laborers against accidents, We demand the ennctment of a law defining the licoility of employers for injuries sustained by em- ployes in such cases whero proper safe- gunrds have ot been used in occupations daagerous o life, limb or health. Railroad and other public corporations should bo sub. ject to control through the legislative power ated them, Their undue influence in 1d courts, imposition of unneces- sary Imrm"n upon the people and the illegit- imato lncreaso of capital stock should be prohibited by scringent laws, Wo demand of the state that tho of corporations shall bo taxed the same as that of viduals; that tho provisions of our constitution requiring the assessment of franchises sholl bo enforced by suitable leg 1slation, We demand the passenger rates on railroads to correspond with rates now prevailling in the adjacent to the Mississippi demand that the logislaturo shall abolish all passes and frae transporution oa excepng for all employes of railroad com- pan Ow and property reduction of freiht and of public elevators that r handle grain for storaze should bo de- clared puolic warehousemen and compeltad under ponalty to recoive, and handle the erain of all with- out discrimination, the rezulating charges for storage and inspection. All railroad companies should ba required to switch, haul, handle, roceive and ship the grain of all persons without discrimination Wo denounce all organizations ot capitalists to limit production, control supplies of the necossaries of life, and to advanco price detrumental to the best interests of society and an unjustifiable interference with the natural laws of competition and trade, and ask their prompt suppression by law. And to emphasizo sincerity the convention refused to renominate two of the thice state officers who had failed to respond to the popular demand for au rveduction of freight rates, and the third escuped being shelved by a mere serateh, , store, ship persons alike, state its The question that conironts republi- cans of Nebraska is shall the party in- vite defeat by nominating any candidate who as a public officer has beon recreant, to his trust? Cen we afford to nominate any man for any position, high or low, whose con- duet or record will place the party on the defensive? We have nota single vote to spare this nay, more, we cannot hope to win unless we can con vinee several thousand of the discon- tented republicans who strayed from the fold thot the candidates we nominate this year will redeem the pledges of the party. It remains to be whether we have the wisdom, pru- dence and patriotism to fice personal preferences and sclect for our standard bearers in the coming campaign men who area platform in themselves, men who are in touch with the people and in whose integrity the people have implicit confidence, seen INVESTIGALING THE COAL MONOPOLY. The committee appointed by the New York senate to investigate the combine of the anthracite coal rouds has entered upon the discharge of that duty. The testimony so far taken is not of a par- ticularly important character, except us showing a consensus of opinion that there is no other reason for the advance of conl but the power and greed of the combination. This was already very gonerally understvod, and the fuct that the apologists for the monopoly offer excuses for its bold scheme to plunder the public has not changed the popular mind regarding the wanton character of this latest example of trust robbery. When this combination was formed one of the assurances given by its pro- moters waus that it would not result in any material change in the price of coal, It was plausibly explained that the de sign of the deal was to reduce the cost of the handling and the transportation of coul, and that in the saving to be thus effected the public would share. There were some persons who belioyed that there was sincerity in this assurane and certain journuls whose influence, locally at least, useful to the com- bine in siloncing popular dissatisfaction und distrust, which were manifested in the action of legislatures, commended the scheme as likely to prove beneficial to the publie, The fo'ly of this is now appa everybody is enabled to monopoly was ent and seo that this was organizod with the sam purpose that prompts the orgunization of all other mouopolies, that is, to en- rich their promoters by plundering the public to the full exweat of the publi ability to stand plundesing, Despite the fuct thut this conl combination wus warnod that any attempt to put into effect monopolistie methols would meet with resistance, it has gone right on ad- vancing freight rates and putting up the price of coal, and ths prospact now is that the consumers of anthracite will have to pay during next winter 32 or #3 more per ton than thoy paid last winter. The rapacity of the combins tion, thore is every reason o expect will be carried to the farthest limit practicable, and from $20,000,000 to $30,- 000,000 wrung from the helpless people will be distributed withia the next yeur is to be held | | corporate wreckors domi- | THE OMAHA among the projectors of the monopoly. The outlook is an exceedingly discom- forting ones for vhe tens of thousands of anthracite conl consumers throughout the country, to whom this fuel is much a necessity as any domestic want, but the knowledge this will have no effect upon the cupidity of the monopoly. It is not worth while to conjecture as to the pos outcome of the tion by the New York senate commits tee. It1s to be hoped that a way will ba found to deprive this monopoly of the power to plunder the people at will, but past experience does not warrant confi- dence that such will be the result. as sible investiga- ¥ TR HOUSE SHOULD ELECT. One of the most absurd notions enter- tained by members of the people’s party 18 that which nssumes that thero is a possibility of electing the candidate of that party if the election of pres ident should be thrown into tho house. Of course thoy do not expect to win in the electoral vote, but they contend that if they ean get a sufficient number of the electors to throw the election into the house their candidate will stand a good chance of being chosen The constitution provides that if no person voted for for president receive a mujority of the electors, then the house of representatives shall, by bal- lot, choose the president ‘“from thoe persous having the highest numbers (of electors) not exceeding three on the list of thoso voted foras president.” If it should devolve upon the houso to elect the next presideat, the persons from whom it would choose are Har- rison, Cleveland and Weaver. The house votes by states in such a case, the representation from each state having one vote. In the present house, upon which the election would devolve the democrats huve a majority of the representition from thirty states. the republicans from twelve and the farm- ers alliance from two. It is possible that in the voting some changes might take place, giving porhaps three or four of the demoeratic states to the candidate of the people’s prrty. There are forty- four states, and it will require the votes of twenty-throo to elect a prosident, A eareful analysis of the delegations leaves no room for a doubt that the following twenty-five states would vote for Clove- land: Alabama, Arkansas, Connncticut, Delaware, [Florida, Georgia, Illinois indinna, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mar) land, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Huampshire, N New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, 1 Te. Virginin, West Virginia, i This regards as doubtful the following five states, the majority of presentation of each being demo- : Towa, Mississippi, Minnesota, North Carolina and South Caroling It is by no means probable, however, that any of these states would desert the democratic candidate, so that the peo- ple’s party cangidate could count with certainty upon only two votes in the house, those of Kansas and Nebraska. There is no coneceivable contingency that would defeat Mr, Cleveland in the present house of representatives, and those leaders of the new party who are preaching such a possibility are wan- tonly deceiving their followers in the interest of the democratic party. There is no hope for General Weaver from the electoral vote and the iden that he mixht be elected by tha house of repre- sentatives is as wild and visionary as some of the other notions of the people’s party. Sympathizers with that party who do not want republican principles supplaunted by those of the democracy and who believe that the interests of the people and the welfsre of the coun- try would be as well subserved during the next four years by Benjamin Harri- son as by Grover Cleveland, will do well to thoughtfully and candidly consider this phase of the situation. Tf the elec- tion of presideat is thrown into the house the choice of Mr, Cleveland is in- evituble. The democratic managers will work to this end. They do not ex- pect to elect their candidate by the peo- ple. They do not beliove they can se- cure a majority of the elector Their scheme is to make such a deal with the new party in the naturally rapublican statos as will devolve the election of a president upon the house of representa- tives, where um would be absotutely certain of suc This is the full meusure of Hn.r interest in aod sym- pathy with the people’s party nnes- PEACEFUL METHODS ARE BEST. The present labor troubles in sylwanin seem to have stimulated the efforts of those interested in the organ- ization of branches of the Order of Im- proved Workmen of America, the ob- jeets of which are to promote u {riendly and sympathetic feeling between om- ployers and vmbployes, to prevent agi- tators from stireing up strife and di cord and to do away entirely with swrikes as n means of settling 1abor diffi- culties. ‘T'he insurance and benefit feat- tures are similur to those of many other organizations, and the social advantages common to all associations of men for mutual profit ave not wanting. The ob- jects of this order have been explained at length in the columns of this paper by its high supreme grand master, John Currie, wno formerly resided in Omaha and who is now engaged in the work of organization. There can ba no denial of tho r workingmen to organize strikes, but the utility of strikes us a means of securing substantial and permanent advant to employes is often questioned even by ' those who tuke vart in them. There are always many men in the lubor unions who join reluctaatly in move- ments to force employers to pay higher es, believing that otber and more conservative methods might be more fruitful of benefits w themselves and their associntes. The perfectly natural foeling of resentment that was aroused in the breasts of the workingmen at Homestead upon the arvival of the men who Lad been imported to protect the property of their employers by force wus at least akin to the resentment whicn every man feels when it is pro posed to compel him to do aoything ugainse his will. Hence it follows thut which is a mere means of com pulsion, usually gives rise to indignant and determined resistance on the part of the employer, and difficulties which might have been umicably adjusted by Penn- rht of DAILY BEE pacific mothods & sorious losses to ¥ the outset result in Mh sides concerned in _The mediation of outs ‘omplishes any good ros thifl has often been tried, but has generaligavailod little.

INTOLERABLE DELAY. The delay of our public improvements has become most exasperating and it b alveady driven hundreds of working people away whohad located in this city but were compelled to leave for want of employment. It has crippled our retail merchants by keeping from circulation the money which the people voted for the construction of sowers, pavements and school buildings last fall, chiefly with a view of vitalizing the channels of trade and giving employment during the building to thousands of workingmen. If this delay continues much longer there will be an open revolt against tho methods of the Board of Public Work There is no valid excuse for further do- lay "he people are not blind as to the wise of the delay. They know that 1t has arisen chiclly from an attempt to rule out one set of contractors for the benefit of a more favored set. Whether this has been done out of pure spite- work or from corrupt motives is imma- terial, ho citizens of Omaha, outside of the preferred contractors’ combine, are a unit in demanding that the work of paving and sewor construction shall begin at once and continue with a full force all along the line so long as the season will permit. the controversy, siders seldom n sults.
