According to this eminent authority Cloveland will carry the state by several thousand votes. It is 8 most grotesquo uffair and was evi- dentiy compiled in the shude of & maple tree with plenty of newspapors handy und no recourse to such a vulgar thing as hustling for information. Nobraska isa republican stute and the repub- licans of this state are going to vote the rerublican ticket this fall. THE BOGUS LABOR-CHAMPION, The editor of the World-Herald has broken out in a new spot. He has taken upon himself the role of champion of #he workingman by prenching the most absurd doctrine re rights of labor and capital, and try to fortify his nssertions under pretense of law. Ho tells us, in the first place, that the robber tariff is responsible for the labor troubles 1n Pennsylvania, in the faco of the fact that the working- men at Homestead are bitterly opposed to free trade or a reduction of the tariff, and their testimony before the congres- sional committee ascribes to the reduc- tion in tarijT on steel hillets, which was made under the McKinley bill, the primary incentiveon the partof the mill- owners to make a reduction in tho scale of wages. But the great Omaha Dogberry doesn’t mind such facts. He keeps right on with his demagogy and sophis- try. He ventures 1o expound the law and declares that ‘‘the building of a wooden barricade around the Homestead works before the workmen had shown any disposition to be turbulent was an aggression, and the portholes in the fencs, from which hot water, bullets or any other destructive materinl might be launched certainly must be called an aggression, while the reduction of wages under circumstances that did not seem to justify a reduction was also an aggre sion.,” Wo have never heard of aggrossion ue one of the offenses defined in any criminal code. The preposterous as- sumption of the self-appointed labor champion would inspire contempt and ridicule if it were not for the fact that some simple-minded people might take stock in them. The most rabid socialist will not contend that the building of o board fence or a wall around a factory is a crime under any statute, human or divine, or that the building of such a fence could be construed as an act of defiance or hostility to labor. If the rights of property are recognized then theright of its owner to protect it from destruction or trespass must be conceded. A farmer has a right to fence his or chard or his melonpateh and the 1 borer his little vegetable garden and his cottags The frctory or mill owner has clearly the right to us y reasonable vre- caution and safeguard to keep outin- truders, This is the common practice in all countries and the most radical of labor agitators has never demanded that mills and fuctories should be left without 1 e inclosure and wide open for all who m wish to enter. Portholes and loopholes in an inclosure are no more illegal thun a barb wire fence or a bulldog in in the barn yard. The only aggression of the Carneg mill managers was the hiring of armed mereennaics, This act doubtless pro- voked the murderous riot and for this et alone they mi st be held responsible. It is doubtful, however, whether the workmwen who made armed and violent resistance to the landing of the Pinker- tons were within the bounds of law. This point the courts and juries wili alone be able to determine. It is easy to fight battles 1,200 miles away. It is another thing to moet the issue when the fight is in front of your own door. When the Pinkertons were stationed in Omaha during the *Q» strike in 1887, the would-bo labor-cham- pion, tarif-reformer, and luw nder had nothing to say about the responsi bility of the Mills free trade bill for the strike of the engineers and we did not hear much from him about the Pinker- ton cut-throats or the indictment of the Burlington managers for importing them. He did not even suggest that the Burlington rond should pull down the fences around its machine shops and yards, Jut we are about to open a campaign and the Homestead strilze affords an opportunity for mountebanks to rant about the robbing of the workingman for the benefit of millionnires by the tariff tax and tho terrible conspiracies by which labor is being enslaved by tyrannieal taskmasters, Nobody knows better than do these demagogues that tho republicans are no more responsible for the Homestead strike than the dem ocrats wero for the Burlington strike or the periodic strikes in freo trade Eng- land, and unless the government is to own and run all the mines, mills, factor- ies, vuilronds and workshops and every vago worker is made an oftlce holder, hall have labor troubles from time to time, of burenu statistics, rogarding the foreizn commerce of tho country, will bear careful study, and iv is an exhibit with which every American citizon ought to bo gratified. The principal facts contained in this report have been publishod, but it will bo interesting to again call attention to the mugnificont showing of nearly $203,000,000 as the balance of trade in favor of the United States durving the fiseal year which ondod June 30, Not only was tho valug of our foreign commerco during that yoar unprocedented in the history of the country, but it has rarely happened that thore has been such an excess of oxports over imports, and thoro is pro- sentod in this fact a conclusive argu- mont against the assumption of the on- omies of protection that in order to sell the foreign countrics we must buy of them in equal measure, The uth is that our wholo trade exporionco refutes this iden, and the pres illustration of the ab- surdity of the assumption is but one of many. Foreign countries will take from us what thoy need under any um- stunces, and if thoy cannot repay in their products they will settle the differ- onco in cash, us they have done many timos. Porhaps in the long run the ox- chungo of products is very noarly equal, but tho possibility of this baing so has no influence upon the urse of traus- actions from year to year, The fact that our importations of many articles from Europe last year wero less than the year before, as of tin plates, wanufactures of silk and wopl, for oxample, did not lessen by a single bushel or pound our exports of bread- stuffs and meats. That was governed solely by supply and demand and it al- ways will be. As to the reduced im- ports of certain articies of foreign ny —_— e e THE OMAIIA manufacture, the difference as comvared with the previous year must he placed to tha account of the home manufac- turers of like articl and taking the aggrogate value of those, $100,000.000, it shows a great gain for domestic ia- dustries. Another interesting and in- | structive statement of this report is the incronse of free imports, amounting to 2,000,000, which is a gain to the consumers of the country, tho larger | part of itfrom free sugar. Thus under the present tariff law a number of | American industries have been enabled to conslderably increase their business, assuming that the American people consumed s much last year as the year before, there has been saved a large sum to the people from free imports, the foreign commerce of the country has grown beyond procedent, and there is an enormous trade balance in favor of this country. These are achievements which the friends of protection certainly need not fear to discuss, o8 THE FIRE RECORD, The fire loss in the Umted States dur- ing the first six months of 1802 was about $4,000,000 le. than during tho samo period last year, and consider- ably more than $20,000,000 greater than during the corresponding pertod of 1800, The most important fires of the first half of this year wero those of Titusville and Oil City, but the actual financ losses oceasioned thereby wero much smaller than might be supposed. The losses at Titusville aggregated 35 , and those at Oil City 8 000. These figures, of course, do not include the damage by the floods which swept the cities named, and by which serious injury to property was inflicted. Omaha has heen poculiarly fortunato in regpect to fire losses during the first half of the fiscal year. Thoe only large fire during that period was that which completely wiped out the Omaha Hard- ware company, causing a loss of $125,- 000, Other losses have been small and infrequent during the period under con- sideration, but as the Underwrite sociation of Omaha does not koej record of losses, itis not easy to de- termine just what they have been. The underwriters alwa count upon large fire losses in consequence of Fourth of July celebrations, but this year the patriotism of the people did not cause any considerable conflagra- tion anywhe in the United S Omaha had the greatest demonstr in her history, and burned more powder than ever before, and yet no fires of any consequence resulted. Upon the whole this appoars to be a remarkably zood year for the fire insurance men, but asas an evidence that they do not propose to be pat off their guard on that account it may bo mentioned that they ave now taking a precaution that is entirely new to the insurance business. They are beginning to look upon electric light plants as “extra-hazardous” in cases where cities have their power for electric light and water in the same buildings. There secms o be a substantial reason for this wition, as a fire originating in the clectrie light plant would naturally and necossarily eripple tho water power and interfere with the work of extinguish- ing the lames. Electricity generally i receiving a great deal of attention from underwriters, who have in v years suffered severoly from used by defective electric lichting equipments in large mereantile establishments, The Southeastern Tarifl sintion has re- contly issucd a revised system of rules concorning wires for electric light and power. Theso rules requive an ad- ditional premium where wires are not run through fire-proof tubing. But this rulo has not been generaliy adopted and vrobably will not bo until the proportion of losses from such causes is much larger than it is now. The firo underwriters of Omaha have not yot seen any noces- sity for such measures. ANIZING BUSINESS. For o quarter of a contury tho demo- eratic party has made war upon every financial and economic policy on which rested tho security of the business of the country. It has sought at every prosi- dentinl eloction during that period, by the enunciation of reactionary policies, to create distrust und depression out of which to extract a renson for giving it power. Its position at this time is in harmony with its attitude in the past. The democratic platform of 1868 sought to diseredit the obligations of the government by demanding their payment in a deprecinted currency. The platform of 1876 denounced the ro- sumption act and domanded its repeal. It also denounced the tariff *ag a mastorpiece of injustice, inequality and falso pretonse.” Lvery platform of tho domocracy since hasattacked some form of tho carrency and assailed the fiscal policy of the nation, the last one being the most radical of any in tho latter respect. The democratic party por- 8 tly attacked the greenbacks when that was the only currency available for the use of the goverment in paying its soldiors and supplying their wants in the fleld, but when tho ropublican party proposed to muko that currency as good us gold the democracy made war upon the resumption act, It has never censed to fight the national bunk system, which has given the country an entirely safo currency, and it now proposes to restore the systom of the stute bank currency that prevailed bofore the national system and was a source of infinite trouble and immoasurable louss to the people. But more serious than all thisin its velation to the financial and business in- terests of the country is the attitude of the democratio party regarding silver, As shown by the course of a majovity of 1ts representutives in congress, the democracy is in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, tho offect of which would bo to flood the Ameri- can market with the world’s silver, compel the government to coin silver dollarsat the expense of the people for the benefit of the bullionaires, and bring the currency of the nation to the single silver standard. Were the polioy of the democratic party as enunciated in its last national platform and proclaimed by the action of its reprosentatives in congress carried out, the country would haye in a short time & silver standard DAILY Bl'_'fi:_ THURSDAY and a promiscuous nssortment of state bank cucrency, ¢¥dey dollar of which would Le depreeisted in purchasing power and none of Which would be avail- able for currency.ises beyond our own borders, and much of it not outside of tho states in whigh'it was issued. Taking this in connaction with the boldly doclared d¥tarmination of the demoeratic party fiyHverthrow the sys- tem of protection |5 American indus- tries, seen by the course of its repre sontatives in confrhss not to bo a mean- ingless throat, and it is not surprising that capital lackas confidence, that ens torprise hesitates, diid that business is loss active than it should ve. The whole charactor of the domands and aims of the democracy tends to produce thesa conditions. Thay are essentially un- settling and demoralizing. —— DISCUSSING the bill for the protection of the lives of railroad tralnmen which has been passed by tho house and is now awaiting action by the senate, Hon. L. S. Coftin, ex-railrond commissioner of Towa, says that six railroad men are killed on the average every diy in the year, and that sixty-five meet with acei dents every day by which they are crip- pled for life; that not less than seventy familiesin this country must have the sorvices of an undertaker or a surgeon evory day in the year, and that 25,000 faithful servants of the railroad com- panies are killed or maimed annually. He claims that at least 30 per cent of this slaughter1s preventable by the in- troduction of improved couplings, and this is what the bill provides for. Tho proposed iaw is undoubtedly needed and ought to have been enacted long ago; but if it will save human life at such a rate as is claimed, why was the bill so framed as to allow the railroad com- panies to defer its operation for soyer: years, or until they have worn out their prosent applinnces? The cost of intro- ducing the now system of couplings and brakes at once would, no doubt, bo con- sidernble, but would it be sufficient to offset such a saving of human lives and limbs. such a diminution of distress and poverty on the part of afillicted families, as is represented by the figures given? IN EVERY largo city of the country the smoke nuisance is a matter of more or less public-complaint. Omaha is not exempt from it, and while we sufier much less than many other cities the question of abating this nuisance is still one of interest to tHis community. Experiments in mothods of consuming smoke have been roing on for many vears, but no absolutely perfectarrange- ment for this purpose, we believe, has yet been found. Great attention has been given to this matter in Chicago, and it appears that the most successful device yet employed is the Hawley plan of down-draft combustion. This has been applied in some of the most exten- sive establishments of that eity, and ac- cording to the Zribune the results are highly satisfactory. It cannot be said of Omaha as of Chicago, to quote from the bine, that during six days of the week ‘‘dense black clouds of smoke hang like a pall ovor the city, and the icky carbon specks and defiling smoky snvelop everything in a smudge of impurity,” but there is enough smoke emitted from the chimneys of Omaha to ereate a nuisance, which in the interest of cleanliness and comfort should be abated. The devico which is being used in Chieugo suceessfully is commended to the attention of = the proprictors of smoke-making establishments in Omaha. Mavor BuMis recommends that the superintendent of tho city hall ascert: who is responsible for the delayin the wori of putting in the elevators; but further on in his communication to the council ho states that the elevator com- pany elaims that the plumber should do cortain work while the plumber con- tends that the work referred to is not for him to do. 1t is said that the per- sons best acquainted with the situation dare not predict whon the elevators will bo put in. It appears that the cas- ings for the elevator shaits were shipped from the factory somo weeks ago and have n lost in transit. At the rate the city hall work has been proceeding it would seem as if pretty much cvery- thing had be lost in transit. Perhaps thero will now be a disagreement as to who shall hunt up the lost casings und eventually thoy will probubly have to be dug out of the enow. Meantime the taxpuyer is expected to ealmly foot the sand woar a plensant: expression of sountenance, IT 15 unquestionably of importance to Omaha to secure tho milling-in-transit rate, and the effort to do so should not bo abandoned. Genorl Veazey of tho interstato comme com- mission is reported o have said that alt the towns want that sort of an arrange- ment, but that fact does not in the least dogree lessen the claim of Omaha to such consideration, and it is question- able whother it ought to have any regard in considoring the demand of this city. PLho milling-in-trawsit or elevator rate is necessary to enuble this city to become a grain market, apd all other conditions being favorable it would be manifestly unjust to deny Omaha this one essontial requirement, Thengitation for the de- sired rate shouldpe continued, I 18 a great n?é wure these days to stroll through @#ho shady walks and drink from the coling fountains in the corridors of ouk magniflicont union depot. vl T distan. tfi;‘m Gray Gables to Tammany Hall iXwdt very great, simply from DBuzzard to ¢rpw. —_— But the V!

The situation in Omaha now is suoch that only men will bo sent to the state con- vontion who will take au 1aterest in seeing that tho very best man 1s named.’ Charlie Rigg, postwaster at Beatrice,spant a portion of yesterday in Omaha and re- turned to Gago county last night. Mr. Rigg is another man who says that Douglas county should name tho governor, and he says it with emphasis, The Beatrice Times agrees with Tne Ber that “‘wo want aman whose record will not place us on tho defensive, but on the con- trary be of such a character that it will pe a source of strongth to the ticket. The repub- lican party has no time to spend In offering apologies for its candidates this year.” Tho Times also endorses the candidacy of J. G. Tate of Hastings for lioutenant governor, Walt Scely, who is “manipulating” in northwestern Nebraska, still assorts that Majors is dend sure of the nowination and denies that Tom conferred with MacColl In regard to withdrawing. Regarding the fs- suance of the call for the state convention Soely said theco was only one legal call pub- lished and tuat was the one ho had inserted in the Lincola Journal. He said that Dr. Mercer hud nothing to do with the matter; as tho central committes took it entirely out of the hands of the chairman, but that not- withstanding this the doctor had taken it upon himself to intorfere and change the oall to suit humself. The truth is that Seely is an unmitigated fraud whose statements would scarcely bo taken in a court of justico under oath.
