New York Times: Cyrus W. Field was Yery eminently a “man of business' in this sense, and it may fairly be said that in many Tespects he was typically an American man of business, New York Commercial: Cyrus W. Field 1s one of those names that the world wiil not levaie. By one oriliiant achievement, born of genius and courage, he has not only shed luster on tho land that gave bim birth and benefited all mankind, but rendered his own name immortal, Detroit Free Prese: Napoleon died a pris- oner at St. Helena under the happy delusion that be was again at the head of a conquer- ing army. Cyrus W, Field was nov harassed by the finaucial troubles that beset him, bul in the delirium of his aying hours imagined that he was Juying the Atantic cable, the crowuing achievement of his career. Washington Post: The name of Cyrus W. Field, as long as time shall last, will remain ONE OF identitied with the early bistory of the At- lantic telegraph cable, = As tné foremost of its original projectors, the leader of this memorable enterprise through a multitude of difficuities and the horo of its final and suc- cessful coustruction, he attained a position of illustrious and universal distinction, aud the worla did kim homage. New York Herald: Mr. Fieid's name will always be associatea with the laying of sub marine cables and the building of acrial lines of traflic, and his influence will long ve feit on the ousiness community from the con- struction of lofty office buildings in lower New York and from his connection with other enterprises in which large amounts of capital were involved. Many persons wiil have cause to remember him also for his works of phitanthropy. Washington Star: The sufferivgs and death of Cyrus W. Fiela touch a chord wherever the great Atl; 1cea nas tlashed the news. His name is linkea forever with the achievewent by which the continents have been brouzht “together. While Morse and others conceived the enterprise, it was the great merchant who first thought of the cableas a commercial undertaking, and it was he who, ofter failure, succeeded in car- rying out the mighty unaertakiog. Boston Advertiser: Indiscriminate eulozy 1s seldom a truthtul ostim: 1t wowd not be 50 in this case. The lifc of him for whom the civilizea world mourns today was long, busy and many-sided. Much of it was spent in scenes and strifes that scarcely admit of faultless perfection. Cyrus W. Ficld bad his full suure of humau infivmities, At vari- ous points he incurred what just wen be- Iieved to be just criticism. Nevertheless, the verdict of those who kuew him best was ana is thut his personal character entitled him to sincere esteem, no less than did his genius and achievements to the imperishable renown that was sccure long azo and will shine with nndimmed splendor long beuce. e Hear Ch Roar, Chicago Herald. The directors of the World's fair should peremptorily aunounce that they will not accept the appropriation bill that was passed Jesterday bv the United States senate. It is a dishonest, a sucaking and & con- temptivle measure. Led vy the saintly Matt Quay of Pennsyl- vania, a majority of the senators added to the bill a proviso that the fair should be closed on Sundays. Captained by Peffer, the product of Kunsas crankism, a majority added a further proviso that no liquor should be sold on the grounds. These amenaments were imposed by dema- gogues, hypocrite and skinflints for the pur- Dose of slirking s manifest duty. They knew that an amendment coupled with such unusual and unnecessary conditions would not be accepted. Ihey Knew that they were sinking the ship when they nut the cargo aboard. They should have their impudent aud cowardly work thrown back in their faces with as much vigor as Chicago can command.

DEMOCRACY'S DOCTRINE DEMOLISHED Fallacies of the Free Traders Met and Dispelled by Logleal Reasoning and Naked Truths—Great Rally of the People Last Night 1f enthusiasm is the standard by which to measure the success of a political rally, then last evening’s aemonstration at the Faruam Steater was s stem-winding top-notcher amomg campaign gatherings. And it wasn't the enthusiasm of an open air gathering, eithier, for the audience was the peer, both in poiut of numbers and make-up, of sny that ever assembled to listen to a discus- sion of political 1issues in this city. t was, in fact, just such an audieuce as it was desired to have assemble to hear a logical, dispassionate exposition of political questions by a speaker who appealed to the @ood judgment and commou seuse of his hearers rather than to their partisanship or prejudices. It was a cosmopolitan crowd, withal it was an intelhigent and sprightly one. There were employers and employes, merchauts, bankors and professional men, skilled mechanics ana artisans, and the ranks of more humble labor were by no means sparsely represented. They were not there out of curiosity, as was evidenced by the earnestness dep ed on their faces. They were in earnest. They wanted information on questions of vital importance to themselvos, and they ot it. e fair sex was out in numbers seldom seen on an_occasion of this Kind, and the waving of fans and the flutterieg of flowers and equally gay colored ribbons that added 10 tho attractiveness and inspiration of tho scene that confronted the speaker of tha hour, On the stage -yere seated Dr. S.

Mr. 1y delay was oceasioned by the non-arrival of the Eighth ward Harrison ann Reid club, whick was busy with its flag-raising, and it was [inally necessary to go ahead without them, although when they aid arrive, with their baod and pent-up enthusinsm, it was necessary to suspend all other operations until they were seated. Dr. S. D. Mercer, who presided over the meeting, announced the causeof the delay when the great assembly began to get rest- less, and asked a little induleence, promising A trest that woula more than make up for it after they finally got started. The uudience waited patiently for a few minutes and then vociferously called for Mr. Rosewater, who stepped forward to say that he was not billed for the occasion, and didn’t want 10 oceupy the time of the audience. He stated, furthermore, that the gentleman who would address them had made a special study of the labor question and all the issues of the campaign now pending. “Lam in the city nearly every day,” said the speaker, “‘and will have occasion to en- tertain you several times duriug the cam- paign, more, perbaps, with the pen than from the rostrum. I have come up from the ranks of labor and have risen to a position in your estimation of sotething of a capitalist, while I am a debtor of even greater magnitude. 1f the government will tura out a lot of money for every mau, woman and child, and my creditors will accept my share, Lam willing it should do it. A body of men met here ten aays ago who think the government can muke men rick without labor, and they want the covernment to fix 'them out all around. Some of them think thev wil be satisfied with ouly 0 per capita. Now, if they could keep this mooey tous distributed for only oue hour it would bo & feat nobody else on earth has ever per- formed or will ever be able to perform There is bardly any one in this house who couldn’t spend his £ in fifteen minutes.

Rosewater Addressed Them, Introduced by Dr. Mercer. In introducing the speaker of the evening, Dr. Mercer said 1t was not often that th citizens of Omaha bad an opportuaity to lis. ten to a discussion of issues of national importance by @ gentleman of such wide reputation, a reputation co-exten- sive with awvilization, and he took great pleasure n introducing ou this occaston Hon. Roswell G. Hore of Michigan, o writer on_the New York Tri- bune, the paper owned and_edited by Hon, Whitelaw Reid, the republican nowince for vice presigent of the United Stotes. As Mr. Horr arose he was most_enthusias- tically welcomed, and it was some little time before be was permitted to fully acknowledze the cordial greeting. And while thus ex pressing itself, the audience did not neglect 1o take meutal note aud measure of the ro- tund person, full benevoleut teatures, and even the sproading gray chin whiskers of the emi- nent gentleman from the Wolvrrino state. The inspection resulted manifestly satisfac- tory to them, and at 8:45 o'clock the speaker was allowed to proceed, Mr. Horr said: ‘Ladies aud Gentlemen, and Fellow Citizeps: L purpose this evening to discuss some of the questions about which some of the people of the United States differ. Tho political parties do not agree as to the proper policy of this governmeut on certain vital principles. I shall speak from the stund- point of a republican, as 1 have been @ republican all wy life! But before I wot through, if there are any cemocrats in the audience, they will think that I know about as much about the democratic party as thoy would cure to have mentioned in 8 public speech. *The democratic party does not bolieve 1n a protective tarifl. Some of them belleve in a tarifl for revenue ouly, with protection as an iwcigental result. Accidental would be # better word, for if the democratic policy eve benetited anybody it would be entirely ac dental. The democrats do not like to be calied froe traders. They prefer to be called tariff reformers, They like to hear the word reformers, but that carries wy mind back to Martin Lutber and ol! that sort of men, aud wheu you come to tangle Grover Cleve laud up with Martin Luther you are getting things rather mixed, and so I call them free traders, not to hurt their feelings, but to save myseif from mental confusion. Different Kinds of Protectic ‘“There 1s no country that proceeds striotly ou the principie of free _trude Great Britain levies & tariff on wriicles that she caunot raise herself Our protective taniff levies duties on a plan exactly opposite to that. We object to levy- ing auties on articles of necessily not pro- duced in this country, because that kind of & duty increases the price of an article and taxes the cousumer. The reverue from such o tariff comes out of the pockets of Lhe con mon people. 'The duties on tea collected in Great Britain last year amounted to $28,000,000. This was paid by the common people. We object to such @ duty as this, aud our poliey of protection is to admit tea and other uecessitics not produced in this v free of duty. 'be protective system is to levy a duty on wrticles which we can produoe io this country. Our democratic opponeuts object to this. ‘They claim that & duty placed on an article that we can produce has exacdy the same efect as oue levied on an article that we cannot produce. That’ he duty 1s added to the price of the article and impoverishos the country. Effects of Protection, “Now, there are four natural results of our | system of protection that 1 wanc to call your | attention to. First, it buills up unew dustries and furnishes labor for more people, | and this even our freo trade frienas cannot | deny. We not only do that butiu the second | place we pay betier wages thau the laboriig poople get in any other country on the face of the globs. Once in & whiie we find some onc who denies this, but it is troe whether he dentes 1t or rot. Then some of out opponcnts claim that while our wages sound bigger, everythiog that a ist ing man uses costs so much more that he can buy more in Europe with what be gets for 8 day's work there than he can here with our wages. I wonder if they really believe it. For it that is true the workingman 1 Europe is better off than the workingman in America, and if that 1s the case what makes so many of them come over here! I can understand how railroad and steamshiv lines can concoct schemes 10 pro- mote immigration, but wnen they find what terrible country tiiev have come to and com pare their pitiful condition here with the elegant times they had over there, why don't they go back! Did vou ever hear of ‘any of them @oing back, except some of those who come over in the steerage and go back as abin passengers! Why, these people Kuow that there is no country in the world where the working classes are so weil off as they are here. ““The third point is that we keep the money in this country. 1 don't need to argue that. 1f the movey is kept hore, 1t is here. Tom Reed settled that point when he decided that when a member_was in the house he was —in the house. When we produce the €o0ds 1n this country and sell them in this country we necessarily keep tbe money here. Makes Things € “The fourth benefit which I ciaim fs that we cheapen tne price of commodities. Now, some of our free trade fridhds dispute tuis, and one of the things that they claim nas per. rises In prics as _ the _ resuit of the protective tariff is binding twine. Ihave been out here to Fremout where they are manufacturing binding twine right under the guns of the McKinley bill. They tell mo that since the protective tariff went- into operation the price of binding Lwine bas been reduced from 14 cents to il cents a pound. Among all the articles which have been produced under the protection of the tariff 1 don’t know of a single article that has uot been cheavened after we got fairly to work. Whea I was a boy we couldn’t get 8 caseknife to eat with that did not bear the mark, ‘Sheffeld, Eug- laud,’ and they were ciumsy ' things, to.' Tuose knives cost more tuan the light and highly finished cutlery we have now, which is manufactured in this countrv A mowing blade, such as 1 paid $1.40 for when I was a boy, costs me b cents now, and a shovel that used to be worth $1.25 is now soid for 50 cents. There is not a single implement used on the furms in the United States that bas not been cheapened by pr ducing it in our own country. Crockery furnishes anotner case in point. ~ Most of us can rememver when every piece of crookery we used bore the stamp of the lion acd the unicora. If the republican party has never done anything eise to deserve the support of the pecple it bas made 1t possible for a man to ecata square meal without that English chromo staring him in the face and 1t costs less than balf what it did then. Watching Them Make Tin Plate. “Now is there asinglo article that has not been cheupened by the protective tarift! Somebody aiways says ‘tin plate.’ They say that there is no tin plate manufactured in this country notwithstanding the tariff. But they can't make me believe that, for 1 buve been in_five different factories myself. I have scen the steel ingots rolled back and forth until they were re- duced to the required tnickness, then dipped 1 the vats of oil and then in the vats of tin that adhered to the steel, sud then burnished, cut and packed for shipment. Tney would have to talk an hour to make me bolieve that there is no um plato manu- factured 1n this country. We havn twenty- two factories malking bright tin and roofing tin snd forty.one others getting ready, and vefore long we will make one-third of all the tin piate used in this country. “But they say that the article cheapened. 1t° 1s seling % pound cheaper in_Omaba today was when® the McKinley bill passed, and we have only begun to manu- facture it Inside of two years we will make petter tin and sell it cheaper than ever before, and still the democrats say we can’t make tin plate. Can Make Anything in Am +1 believe that we can make anything bere that can be made aunywhere on this earth. "They suid we couldo’t make steei rails and plate glass. Tney got quite religious over the plate glass question. They said that God did not 1ntena that plate glass should be nade in this country. Tuey made that re- wark in congress, and we woadered how they found it out. We doubted whether their relations with the Infinite were such @s to make them good &uthor- ity on Goa's ideas. Then they said we could not menufacture lineu in this coun- try. The fibre of the flax was not good. But they bad been in tnis Ananias and Sap- phira business so long 1that we decided to try it. We put a duty on linen goods and buiit mill at Minneapolis that cost $00,000, and when the convention that nominated the next president aund vice presiacnt of the Uuited States met there tho convention hall was carpeted with linen manufactured at this very mill. 1 waut to paste tne Ameri- car flag on to this liven and shake it in the fuce of every free trader [ meet. “If you can produce suy article on the other Side of the occan for less money thau you can in this country, it s because th take the differcuce in price out of the bone aud sivew of the men who do the work. We believe iu protecting the men who do the work “Again they say that to manufacture the £oods 1n this countrs brings iu the pauper labor of Europe. 1 will join hands with any free trader bere to prevent the dumping of crime and izuorance on our shores, but I am disposed to welcowe the honest man with a day's work in him aud remember that some of the rest of us haven't veen here such a great while ourselves, Applying a Law of Nature, “Sel{-preservation is the first law of na- ture. It is a man’s first duty to protect him- self and his family. And what is true of the indiviaual 1s equally true of the government. L 1ike our protective tariff because it benefits our own country first. After we bave made this country the greatest aud most prosper- ous nation on Lhe globe [ am willing to belp out some of the rest. This country first and Evgland afterwards, and if I had my way it would bea long way afterwards, too. “And now | want to talk especially to the workingmen & little while. All proverty does not come from laoor. Some comes from the ingenuity that makes nature do the work There are a lot of calamity howlers going wbout the country who claim that there should be more equality of weslth, Property and Property Rights, “In primitive aays I suppose all the animals were the property of ail men in comwon, but, mind you, when a man caught an animal and killed him that animal became his especial property, 50 all fruits beionged to mankina 1n common, but when au individual gathered fruit iv became bis own. Water is Lbe com- mon property of all, but wheu a man digs a well, does that water belonz 10 everybody. in the course of a debate with Dr. DeGlyun some one asked me whetber if [ bad dug the first well and & man sbould come along and ask me for a orink of water } would give it to bim. I told bim ves, I would give nim five or six driuks, butif a lot of men bung around day after oay and refused to make auy effort 1o dig & well of their own my beuevoleuce would bugin to ooze out. “Labor gives a ma=z the right to use the product of labor. Some people really ques- tion whether wages have indeed gone up under the protective tariff, Tney arxue that because wages in some particular instances bave nol goue up protection is & failure, There is such & thing a3 walntaining wages. Apny old man will tell you that wages sre nOW wmore than twice what they were io the old low tariff days. When | wasa boy we hired carpeaters for $1.25 & day who receive & now.

The man you want to weep overis the one who hasn’t anything to mort- rage. Some Financial Facts. “Another cry is made that we want more money: that the country is going to the dogs and the ouly way out is for the government to manufacture what money we need. This whole effort comes from the mistaken notion that the government creates monoy. In cases of necessity itcan issuenotes and make the people take them, but will anyore claim that this shovld be resorted to in times of peaco and prosperity! Some time ago the government made the yard stick measure thirty-six inches, They might change it to two and one half feet if thoy wanted to. Now our greenback friends practically assort that the government can- uot only make two and one haif feet a yard, but make the two and ono half feet as long as three feet. The government can produce money but it cannot create value. It cost this notion a good deal to put down the rebel- lion with a acpreciated currency. It wasa case of stern necessity. The rcpublican party has made evers dollar of that money as good as any other dollar, and we intend to keep it that way. You cheapen the dollar and the man who feels it first 1s the man who labors. Some of us can remember back in the fifties when we had money galore, and wheu we took a dol- lar we dian't know whotker it would be worth a ceut the next day or not. Shrieks of the Calamitists, “Now, how does 1t come about that the veople of this nation follow off these pepple who are trying to make us believe that everything 18 gomg to ruin? It1s because are prone to reason from a fow isolated iostances and form general conciusions. It is the same as assuming that becausea preacher is once Jn o while guilty of ssme thirg wrong the whole class are unworth that because there is a case where a mother tas abusea ber child that there 18 no more any such a thing as mother love. i often wonder what kind of a history Brotber Weaver or Brother Van wyck would have written of Job and his troubles with boils. Job was a Chaldean and I sup- pose that to read their history you would think that the whole Chaldeic nation was one great carbuncle. That is just the way they do it. If there is a hard frost they lay 1t to the McKiuley bill, If a cyclone comes they say it 1s another ‘republican ticket.' They o about trylng to make everyone dis- atisied, to muke us believe that this is tne meanest nation on the globe for a working man to live in. *‘Let us stand in this coming ereat fight by the party that has ever stood by labor, by the party that does everything it can to buila up our industries, that stands by the government and stood by it when it wes in peril. Tcan refer to this because Grover Cleveland aud I served 1o the same brigade during the war. Wa both belonged to the bome guard. But we aiffer i this, that I would not have vetoed the peusiou bills that gave aid 1o the boys who d4d so much for the nation.” Mr. Horr's address occupied an hour and three-quarters and held the closest attention of the audience throughout. He concluded amid a storm of applause, and the audience dispersed while the band rendered a selec- tion. Mr. Horr will spend Sunday with his brother-in-law, Dr. C. H. Pinvey of Council Bluffs, but at the request of many Omaba friends will return to this city Monaay morning and from 11 until 3 o'clock will be at the Mercer hotel, whera tie will be pleased to renew old acquaintances and form new oves. Arrangements have been made for a rous iog republican rally at Hastings on Tuesday evening, at wuich Hon. R. G. Horr will de- liver an address. . Republicans all over the state have been making efforts to havz Mr. Horr speak in their towns, and he has ac cepted an invitation to speak at Hastings before hbo leaves tho state. Hon. Brad Slaugnter received a telegram from Presi- dent Ciarke of the Hastings republican club last night stating that arrangements were being maae for & big republican demoustra- tion on Tuesaay uight and assuring Mr. Horr of a warm western Nebraska welcowe. It is probable that Mr. Horr will speak Plattsmoutt on Monday night, on his way to fulfill the appointment at Hastings. REPUBL AN COUNTY CONVENTION, Called for August 1 and Primaries and Cancuses Arranged For. Forty-s1x of tho fifty-seven members of the republican county central committee were present at the meeting at Republican league headquarters yesterday afternoon to fix the time for bolding the county conven- tion to select ninety-four delegates to the stato couvention av Lincoln August 4. Chairman . H. Mercer presided. James Smith was elected to fill the va- icy in the committee from Florenco pre- cinet caused by the removal of 5. Claycomb from the precinct. The resignation of Patrick MeArdle as committeeman from McArdle precinet was accepted and the members from the other country precinets named Heory C. Schoemer as his successor. It was approved by the eu- tire committe Chairman Mercer stated that reports from all parts of the stato contained assurances that if Douglas county could sgroe on & gubernatorial candidate from this county he would be warmly received at the state couvention, and nominated beyond any ques tion. Because of the prospact of success, if for no other, he thought that no mistake should be made and that a clean, strong man should bo selected. 1t was moved that the county convention be beld on the afternoon of August 1, that the primaries be held on July 30, and the caucuses on July 23, and it was so ordered.

A number of years ago people werc satis- fled with just “plain soda, but nowndays & sodn fountain not only dispenses soda but every kirid of drink imaginavle, Omana has a number of fine soda foun- tains, but one that eclipses them all in mag- uificance and value has just been put o by an enterprisiog Omaba druggist To say that it is a beauty aoes not begin to express it, ospocially when seen at night, britliantly diluminated by electric lignts, Itis of onyx entirely und the largest onvx fountain in the United States. Heretofore onyx has been considernd oo expensive to build soda fountaius of, but Omaha, always in the front, hod to have tho finest fountain in existence. Only a few years ago anybody was sup- posed to be able to draw a glass of soda, but now it's different. 1t not only takes a first class man, but hy has to be an expert in his peculiar line to mix such drinks as those expected from a fountain Dhke this. He's dressed in spotless linen, “neat as a pin.'’ The way he tosses about the aMfercnt drinks is & wonder to all who chanco to be about him. Anythiug you may desire he will quickly set before you, and this particular man, in connection with ' this ular fountain, can, at a moment's no- wive you your choice of about 200 rent drinks, This is not all; this enterprising Omuha druggist has a neat colored boy with a “‘claw hammer" coat, silk hat, knee trousers and p ent leather pumps who stauds outside the door and takes orders from parties who drive up o front and do not wish toleave their vehicles. ‘Inis young colored boy is in bis glory when te’ courtecusly hands cut the aifferent beverages 1o his customers as they remain seated 1n their carriages, and as he returns the emoty glasses to tho expert be- aud s as hind the fountain in Kuho & Co's. urag store, corner of Fifteenth and Douglas streets, he seems perfectiy at rest with tho world.
