P FEI Notary Pubile for June SIMPSON is again through his socks. talking THE republicans uf Nebraska want a clean man for governor. BY THE presence of so many Chautau- auas, the air of Nebraska is loaded with culture. OMAIA is nov faithfully represented anywhere, least of all in her own city bodies. This ought to be remedied. WE WONDER how many hours it would take Colorado to become a ram- pant “Wall street” people if gold should be found in abundance thero. THERE are somo good people in the democratic party. They don’t belong there. There are some bad people in the republican party. They don’t be- long there. THE cholera is rapidly nearing us and the questions of garbage and draining ought to be investigated at onze by every citizen. And chelera or no chol- era, it isa reform very necessary to be innvgura NOTHING is 80 disheartening to a gen- uine American as to see the total indiff- eroncoe of citizens to the way their mu- nicipal affairs are misconducted. They ought never to complain of extortion or extravagance. A sHERIFF killed an old friend be- cnuse of a slight dispute on politics in the St. Louis court room.

In literature he would have been a master, A GREAT many of the disaffections in the republican party of this and other swates aro purely local and are caused by the pernicious offonsivenoss and tho tyrannous bulldozing of the county bosses.

A specimen brick of this wild-eyed swashbuckler style apveared at the head of the editorial columns of that sheet in the following Hight of sky- seraping pyrotechnics: ‘Like the ghouls that haunt the sea beuch in a storm whon salvage is in sight, like the fifthy carrion with dripping beaks which croak in hellish anticipation whiie sol- diers fight, like the jackal skulking on the skirts of a caravan perishing of “thirss the band of so-called ‘anarchists’ rejoice over the clush of labor and capi- wl.,” Whether the genius who fired off this piece of actillery wus sulfering from jim-jams or whether this is his patural gait will always vemain & sad, solemn und welon-colic wmystory. IS MR MAJORS AVAILABLE? The canoidacy of Hon. Thomas Majors for the position of governor forces upon the party the momentous whether at this critical juacture he is available to head republican ticket. Can Mr. Majors stand the brunt of the oaslaught which wiil be made upon the ropublican eandidate for gov ecnor in the impending campaign? Will the party under his leadership be in position to carry on eampuign, or will his canaidacy pluce it on the defensive and ther imperil its success from the very outset? Has Mr. Majors such a record ae will, if assnilond, enable him and the repub- lican press to successfully repel every onslaught and convineo the people that his conduct in office and out of office en- titles him to popular confidence and suppo t? i Mr. Majors has been in public life many yews. He served the country creditably us o soldier and has always been an unswerving republican. Ho has done some very eflicient work for the party and lie has been honored by it at vavious times. He has vepresented the people of his own county and district in both houses of the legisluturo and for a brief period represented this state in the lower of congross. Two yonrs ago he was elected loutenant gov- ornor by a handsome plurality. The next step in the line of promotion would have been tho governorship, and with a clean, unimpsachable record Mr. Ma- jors would have been invineible. It will be asked if Mr. Majors was popularenough to carry the state for lieutenant governor and run ahead of his ticket in 1890, why is he not popular enough to carry the state in There is a vast difference running for lieutenant governor in 1890 against candidates who were scarcely known and vunning for governor in 1892 against a candidate who is known to almost evory voter and is riding on the crest of utidal wave of popular erank- ism. Two years ago, with prohibition as the most absorbing issue, the fight was centered upon the candidates for govertor, und little or no attention was puid to the candidacy of Mr. Major: This y in 1890, the contest will ceutor the candidatos for gov- ernor. Unless question the \n ag house between upon Mr. Majors could withstand that fiery ordeal, his nomination would involve an extra hazardous risk which the party cannot assume in o campaign where there 1s 80 much at stake. Itis an open secret that very grave charges affacting Mr. Majors in nis ca- pacity us contingent congresman were published some months by the Omaha World-Herald. Theso charges have mnever been refuted or even answered. While THe Beg has r frained up to this time from alluding to them, we are credibly informed that the editor of a leading republican paper asked Mr. Majors whether he coutd ven- ture to gainsay the charges, but M Majors did not deom it prudent to make tho attemnpt of justification. M. Majors’ conduct since he becamo licutenant governor isequally indefensi- bie. He induced the senute over which he presided in his capacity of lieuten- it governor to ereate the sinecure of private secretary to the president of the senate at 36 a day and appointed for this posit ugo Iter S a notorious cor- poration capper and go-between for job- rers and hoodlers, to the ineffaceble dis- grace of himsolf and damage to the party. The intimate relations that sub- sisted bhetween Majors and this man Seely have connected his name with many of the scandals in which Sceley played a prominent and disreputable part during tho session of the legislature. Men are known by the company they keep, and Mr. Majors must be judged by his association with Seely, who for many months past has been working up Mr. Majors’ candidacy by the most shameless distribution of railroad passes which were furaished him in quantities to suit his orders. Will any rational person contend that the railroads furnished Seely with pass books for booming Majors without the knowledge or request of the licutenant governor? It is conceded that the battle ground in the coming campaign will be in Douglas county. It is precisely this fact thatrenders Mr. Majors’ candidacy extra hazardous even if he had a clean record. Two years ago Dougias county gave him over 9,000 votes. This year he would not got half that number. For this he has only himsell and his man Friday, Soc to blame. Mr. Majors had a perfect right to oppose Dr. Mercer by all logit imate means at hiscommand, but he had no right 10 set the state press against Omaha and make Omaha the target for a malicious onslaught that has never been equalled since tha controversy over the territorial capital. The ro- publication of these slanderous and scurlious attacks would cost him thou- sinds of votes if he were a candidate. Weregretexceedingly to bo compelled to call attention to these facts, but Te B would bo recreant to its duty if it did not apprise the party of the disaster that wouid almost certuinly ovortuke it if it should choose Mr. Majors as its standard beurer. RECORD, Somo time ngo the State department at Washington reguested Governor Boyd to furnish a report of the number of trials, convictions and executions in this state during the past five yoears under the law which calls for the im- position of capital punishment. This re- quest was in of an under- taking to furnish the Austrian govern- ment with statistics asked for in relation to capital pumishment in the United States, The figures for Nebraska w cured by Deputy Labor Commissioner Andres from the district clerks of the various counties in which capital ¢rimes had taken place, and wore given out by Governor Boyd for publication. It ap- peared by this report that there had beon eighty-two cases tried and fifteen convictions, Of this number twenty thres trials and nine convictions were credited to Dawes county, and as this seemod to be an extraordinary record for a county whose reputation is by no means had THe Bek swlegraphed its correspondent at Chadron yesterday for light ou the subject. It uppears that AN APPALLIN pursunnte ( grossive | { Doubtl THI OMAHA there have been only two men charge: with murder in Dawes county, and in- stead of nine convictions there huve been none at all there. Dixon, th soldier who was executed in this city short time committed his near Fort in that county. Another soldier, Sergeant Jackson, who fatally assaulted a subordinate at Fort Robinson, was tried and ncquitted in Omaiin. Tnstend of twenty-three murder trials and nine convictions Dawes county has had no trials for murder at all during tho period covered by the report. this egregrious blunder origi- nated in a stupid misapprehension on the part of tha district clerk as to the meaning of “capital” crimo. 1t is sip- posed that he thought it was a crime involving capital, or money. But what all be said of the deputy com- missioner of labor, Mr. Andres, who compiled this report for the State department at Washington, to bo in turn presented to the Austrian govern- mont as Nebraska’s record of cavital crimes and exocutions? Did he, too, think that a capital crime was a cvime involving capital? There can be no other rational explanation of his report of twenty-three murder trials and nine exccutions in five years in a county thut hus had neither the one nor the other. He would be an easy mark for a bunco man. A green goods sharp could cateh Deputy Labor Commissioner An dres for his last cent. e would buy Bohemian oats at $7 a peck. It is lucky that the brilliant disteictclevk of Dawes county did not report a hundred mur- ders, because if he had they would have gone into Mr. Andres’ report to the State department without n question as to the fucts in the case, and the in- fluence of our frightful example would have been something tremendous when the report reached the other side of the Atlantic, It is to be hoped that Governor Boyd will take a hand in the matter now and try to set Nebraska right before the State department and the rest of man- kind. 0o, Robinson THEY SHOULD RESCIND, The claim of certain members of the Board of Education t Mr. Hamilton is not deposed us superintendent of buildings by the appointment of a man under the title of foreman of schoolhouse repairs is the veriest rot. ‘The school board does not need two such officers any more than five wheels are needed to a wagon. Even if there was work for both of these officials here would be constant racket by reason of the clashing of authority. Everybody knows, however, that the office was ereated only as trading capi tal for Wehrer’s vote and every reputa- ble citizen wili say that that is a scan- dal under which the board cannot afford to rest. The only way the board can re- instate itself in public estcem is to rescind its action as regards the supor- numerary official and re-elect Mr. Ham. ilton for another term. This may be distasteful to Mr. Wehrer, but in morals s in law a corrupt bargain is void. Un- the members who voted to give Wehrer a pull on schoolhouse repairs purge themselves, th will justly be subject to the stigma which attaches to such deals. THE The congressional committee has con cluded its investigation of the Home- stead trouble. It has yet to prosecute an inquiry regarding the Pinkerton or ganization. Very little of importance elicited by the investigation with which the public had not previously been made acquainted by the published statements of the company and the locked out workmen. The efforts of the committee to obtain any information re- garding the business of the company which might throw some light upon the merits of the issue raised by the men were unsuccessful. 'When asked regard- ing the labor cost of production, for exam- ple, the manager of the works declined to give any information on the ground that he did not think the company called upon to make public its private business affairs. It was asserted by those repre senting the company that the superior machinery and facilities at the Home- stead mills enabled the workmen to make atively higher wages than in othor mills, because they could turn out more product in the same space of time, but this was contradicted by a representative of the workmen, who stated that the in- creused product was due to the fact that the men worked continuously eignt hours, taking no time for menls, In other respects the contradictory state- ments of the two parties left the public nog or as 1o the real merits of the con- troversy than before the investigation. There was one important fact ascer- tained, however, which was that the company had made arrangements for the Pinkerton force that was sent to Homestead before it applied to the sheriff of Allegheny county for protec: tion. In advance of the men going out negotintions were completed with Pin- kerton to provide 300 men, supplied with arms and ammunition at the ex- penso of the company, and when appli- cation was made to the sheriff he was notified that this force would be at the mills, The manager of the company s apprehensive thav the civil authol ties would not be able to give the neces- sary protection und accordingly he made provision for having a bund of armed mercenaries invade the state of Penn- sylvania, without any authority of law, to perform u function which belonged solely o the civil authorities of Alle- gheny county, or in case of their inabil- ity to execute it, to the state of Penn- sylvania. It was claimed to be the intention to have the Pinkertons depu- tized by the sheviff, but this was not done, and having gone to Homestead without any authority of law they were in effect rioters. Such being the case it is of little consequence which party fired the first shot. Another important point 18 that the tariff had pothing whatever to do with bringing ubout the controversy, and the of democratic free traders to muke capital out of this trouble against protection must fail with all candid and fair minded men who will give the mate ter inteltigent and unprejudiced consid- eration. ~ The company démanded a readjustment of wages on a lower scule, on the ground that it was nocessary to HOMESI'£AD INVESTIGATION. was elfor DAILY crime | | | save them fromgoss.

The motike in to change the date of teeminating the scale from midsummer, to midwinter will be vlain to any understanding, and tainty it has nothing whatever todo with the tariff, There is no political eapital for any party in the trouble at Homestead, [tis a most unfortunate affair, without par allel as to some of its features, and it conveys lessons which should bo seriously considred, but there is no politics in it. proposing cer- THERE i8 an element of humor in the working of the street gang system as applied by the Omaha police authori- ties. It appears that the criminals sen- tenced to work on the streets frequently become tired of v kind of oxercise and lay down their hoes and walk away. This is very inconsiderate on the part of the convicts, They oughtto | ve a sufficient sense of honor to deter them from ‘doing n mean thing like that. They know that the work needs to be dono and that by walking off and leav- ing it they nflicting an injury upon the city and dishonor upon themselves. Yesterday the chief of police issued an order that is intended to check this shirking of duty, but it will not produce any effect upon the class most necding re- straint. The fact is that while street gang sentences are well enough for the *“common drunks” they are not suited to the requirements of hardened crimi- nals under the present regulations. Under the new order deserters who are afterwards caught aro to be placed in solitary confinement for the balance of their term of sentence.

Ransom. Mr. Ransom is a resi- dent of Omaha, who has a state-wide repu- taticn. He ropresentod Oton in both houses of the stato legislatura and mado a vroditable record. Ten years ago ho was a candidato for attorney general and camo within a fow votes of boing nominated. As tho father of bilis in tho legislature in favor of the lubor- g classes he mado hosts of friends among the workingmon. While Mr. Ransom can- ot bo said to havea full boom on, ho may distance all rivals, 1892, N CLATTER, Mr. Tsaac MNoyes of Waterloo, who has boen mentioned asa possible caudidate for gubernatorial honors, was in the clty yester- day looking over the ground and listening to what the boys had to sav. Ho said that his name had beon suggested without bis knowl- edgo, and that he did not know whother or not he would consent to be a candidate. He said that tho interosts of the party wero par- uniount 1o those of any inaividual or set of fndividuals, and that in tho matter of selent- ing candidates tho succoss of the party should be the thing in view. There seems to be a general demand throughout the state for new men, not only for governor, but for all tho other state offices. This demand is voiceu by the Fairmont Signal, which say “One thing is certain_as fate, the nominations must be cbaracterized with more wisdom and better judgment than many of the past. Several old barnacles must bo scaled off afid men named \who will not bring a load for the party to carry.” According to the Lincoln papers, Beaton has promised Tom Majors the Lancaster county dolegation. The; assert that Benton has entered into o combination with Majors ana Joo Bartley in the mterestof George Bower- man, through which be proposes to laud the nominations for governor, treasurer and auditor.. Mr. Bonton spent tho day in Omaha looking over the field of politicians now assembied in the city, and managoed to pick up a pownt here and there, He denied the soft impeachment, Tom Two more old wheel horses have been brought forward as candidates for the demo cratic gubernatorial nomiuation. The York Democrat brings out Charles H. Brown and says: “Work for him, nominate him, aud the poople of this state will elect him. Charlie Brown 1s a winner,” The Scribner News brings out W. I Thompson for the honor and throws iu gratuitously the assertion that the ‘‘demo- crats of Nebraska cannot afford to monkey with any more Jim Boyds." D. F. Davis, ono of Governor Boyd's oil inspectors, is another democrat who wants the party “massed in full battle array with state, congressional and electoral tickots in the field.” In the Columbus Telegram, of which he is editor, Mr. Davis remarks that anyono who says “the democratic party is dead 10 Nebraska politics this year is ‘talking through one's hat,’ ! A Blair correspondent writes Tng Bre that Cunningham R. Scott has been in town lookiug up bis chances for congress. “The members of the oar,” says the correspondent, “are very unauimous for him." Another district juage has been given boom for the congressional nomination on the democratic ticket. This time it's Frank Irvine, the youngest man on tho district beneh in Nebraska, and the Papillion Times is tho fathor of the thought. Editor How- arg believes Irvine “is absolutely freo from the factional faults which cling to many othor good democrats in Omanba, Ho is young, able, ambitious and every day a dem- ocrat.” Judgo Doane, Judge Irvine, W. D. McHugh and Hon. Warren Switzler are di- vidiug among thomselves the attention of the democrats of this congressional district, and report hath it that Doane and McHugh are getting the bulk of it, with tho biggest slizo of the bulkin Doane's domain, A Crawford correspondont says: “This wholo country is unsnimously in favor of J. . Bartley of Atkinson for stato ueasurer and Eugeae Moore of Norfolk for state audi- tor. These iwo oftices will satisfy the north orn part of the state. The long headed con- servative men of the republican party be- iieve ivwill be safest to give the governor to Douglas couuty, provided it decides on n man whose record needs no defense, as all parts of the state must be represeuted. K- publicaus must be united this year, Georgo Hempstead, county, treasurer of Sarpy was in the city for a few hours with Editor Edgar Howard of the Papillion Times. Mr. Hempstead had just seutled with the county commissioners and turnea in #150 1nterest money on the county deposit. Wiat makes this a little out of the usual run of affairs is the fact that the county adver- tised for bids from the banks, but not a bid was submitted, yet, notwithstanding tuis, the treasurer had interest money to turn over. If any other Nebraska treasurer is on- titied to a iace on tho samo list ho has not yeu been heard from. R. F.

He ex- pressed the belief that Moiklejohn would se- cure the republican nomination for congress in tho Third district aud Hainer fn the Fourth, He thought that the ox-lioutenant governor would make it interesting for any- body tho democrats ocould nominate in his district, while he waxed enthusiastic over Hainer’s chances farther south. “There is a man," said the juage, *‘who can o out on tho stump or in joint dobate and flay the cuticle off the best man the democrats could name."” P S — OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Swiss statesmen aronot to be seduced from their policy of neutrality and the somi-official rejoinder by one of the rosponsi- blo ministers at Borne to a recent pamphlot, published in Rome, which argues that it would bo to the best interests of Switzer- land toscek an alliance with Italy, is & model of plain speoch. [t says that the government and the people are in accord with the will of the powers which guar- antoed their neutrality and “‘have no idea of auy alliance”. Thon the proffered bait ot gainiag frosh torritory or winning incronsed power has no fascination for thom. They are not ambitious in those directions. They are quite satisfied us thoy are, with the peo ple fairly prosperous, with no serious in- ternal dissensions, and with cohesion gradually establishing itself botwoen th cantons, Whon Savoy was annoxed to Frauco, they might havo insisted upon the fullillment of promises that Switzer- land shoula have the meutralized torri- tory, but thoy waived their right becauso the Protestant canton of Geneva would buve boen swallowed up by the Catholie popula- tion of Savoy, or, if another canton had been constituted, the equilibrium would have been destroyed. The same argument holds good today. Now tho Swiss know whero they are, they are gradually concentrating their political forces, the balance of power between Ultramoutanes and Protestants is beginniog to rogulato itself, and they bhave 10 dosiro to impose upon tho confederation frosh people who might not rondily amal mate with the existing population. Kor these reasons Switzerland simply asks to bo let alono and be allowad to proteet herself in case of any outbreuk. This sho claims she is able to do with her 350,000 or 400,000 men, no matter from which sido any attempt to vio- late her territory may como. The unionist press is forccasting delay on the part of Lord Salisbury in resigning of- fico. It is even intimated that he will meet the new parliament and force the home rule allies to vote him out of ofice. ‘This is not tho ordinary course of procedure. Mr, Glad- stone when dofeated in 1574, Lord Iseacons- fleld in similar eircumstauces in 1580, Lord Salisbury io 1585 and Mr. Giadstone again in 1850, did not await the assembling of parlia- ment before tendering the resiguntions of the miuisters of the crown. 1t is true that the majority for the opposition was larger in each of those instances than it is likely to bo at this time. But none tue less the govern- meut of the day which appealed for the sup- port of the country has beon defeated in the present elections, aud consequently it will not bo in a position to meet purhament when it reassombles on August 4. 'The fact that tho Gladstonians will lack a clear majority of the commons and will b dependent upon the support of the Irish party does not alter the ease. Lord Salis- bury in 1886 did not havo a clear majority without the votes of the seventy-seven liboral-unionists; nor did Mr. Gladstono in 1555 without Irish votes; but in ecach in- tanco the defeated goverament prompuly re- signea oftice. Lord Salisbury, if ho attempts t0 disvegard the verdict of the country and t0 faco a hostile coalition majority in August, will violate precedsnts, and those are sacred things in Iingland. Ho is too astute a states- man to chaliouge the new parliameat to complete his overthrow. Tho Russians are blaming England for per- mitting cholers to cross thewr frontiers by omitting to take propor precautions in India, and especially for not looking after the Af- gbans and compelling them to take the proper sanitary precautions. Itis said that the bodios of cholera victims have boen kept in some sort of quarantioe botween Herat ana the Persian frontier, and afterwards sent on to be buried within the sacred pre- cincts of Moshed, thus increasing the con- tagion.
