Mg. CLEVELAND tried to straddle the freo trade plank, but sat down compla- cently on it, and the American voter will sit down emphatically upon both. FRANK RPE R tells us thut much of our abuse of Russia’s treatment, of her starving peasaunts is undeserved, and Carpenter has been there and knows whereof he speaks. IF CONGRESS really contomplates erecting a $500,000 monument to Gen- eral Stark of revolutionary fame it is evident that congress is stark mad on that subject as on all others. THE real independent newspapers of the United States are the republican newspapers which are independent enough to censure policies and men of their own party inimical to the best, honest administration of government. IN THE southern states there are 15,000,000 whites and 7,000,000 colored poople, over two to one. Now why are those whites howling so about a force Dbill when they are so great a majority unless they are dishonest in their howls? Tag fatal injury of an aged lady by falling from a South Omaha motor car llustrates the fact that conductors are not always to blame. It is remarkable how rash some peoplo, and especially old persons, are in jumping off a street car. A MO8T conspicuous political failure is Speaker Crisp. He enjoys no confidence from his associates in congress and his alliance with Hill and the free silver men has made his re-election impossible even in the doubtful event of a democratic congress. THERE is one feature of the new council champer that commends itself to tire press, inasmuch as nobody in the gallery or in the rear of the council platform can hear a word that is said. People have to look for the proceedings in the newspapers. ——e THE payment of $75,000 to the United States by the Chilian government ends that mixed question which threatened at ono time to involve this country in war with the South American nation. The termination is croditable to Presi- dent Harrison and the entire republican administration. A REPUBLICAN congress gave the ‘World’s fair to Chicago and & demo- oratic congress denied that city ade- quate support in endowing the fair. That is the difference between the parties, and if Chicago goes democratic this full it will be an illustration of in- gratitude seldom seen. OMANA took anothor leap forward in* the cominercial lists last week. Her total business as given by Bradstreot's clearing house report shows an increaso of 722 per cent over the corresponding week of last year.

Me. White is eminently qualified for the position, having been wminister w Ger- wany in former years THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: A SUDD&EN CONVERSION. A strike of miners in West Virginia gives the eminent sociologist and poli- tical economist of the World-Herald another opportunity w perform his unique and amusing specialty of swal- lowing himself. He is an ardent cham- pion of the crushed and down-trodden capitalist now. He says that it is ex- ceedingly likely that the men were dis- charged because they were not wanted. And there is no power on earth that can compel a man or a company to retain in employment more men than are needed. To endeavor to do such a thing is to ex- erciss a tyranny that is shameful and opposed to the principles of this country. It is as coercive and detesta- ble asany tyranny exorcised by capital.’’ The workingman who does not like this has only to wait & day or two for the same paper to take up his side of the case and contend that capitalists are robbers who have no rights that the workingman is bound to respect. It has encouraged the Homestead strikers in their absurd asumption of suthority over the property of their employers and has condemned the latter roundly for taking mensures to prevent the riot- ers from forcibly taking possession of their premises. It has suid that the employars were guilty of aggression in erecting a barricade for that purpose and that they were also aggressors when they refused to allow their employes to decide the question of wages for them- selves. The World-Herald’s staying powers are not equal to the steain involved in keeping on one side of a question for any great length of time. It now declares that to endeavor to coerce an employer by striking “is to exercise a tyranny that is shameful,” and yot only a day or two ago the employe had the right to use that form of coercion and the em- ployer had noright to keep the striker off his premises. It makes no difference whether the strike was caused by the discharge of empioyesor by a disagrecmont as to wages. The principlo that an owner of property has a right to manage it in his own way and that no man or sot of men may trespass upon or destroy itor coercs him in any manner is a principle that oven a journal of the weather-vane character of the World-Herald ought to respect. The workingman who reads in its columns toduy that he is right and vomorrow that he is wrong in making a coercive war upon his employer will not gain any valuuble enlightenment as to the true relationship betwesn employer and employe. HARRITY AT TH'Y HELM. The democratic cumpaign will be mannged by William F. Harrity of Pennsylvania, with whom the demo- crats of the country at large ure yet to becomo acquainted. The election of Mr. Harrity as chairman of the national committes was made, doubtless, at the suggoestion of Mr. Cleveland, and it is verhaps as good a selection as could have been made, if the head of a na- tional committee needs be a politician only. In this respect Harrity is at least the peer of his predecessor, Calvin S. Brice, who in the last nativnal cam- paign earned the title of ‘‘rainbow chaser,” and while the task before him is quite as difficult as that which Brice had imposed upon him it is safe to pro- dict that he will meet its demands with greater judgment and sagacity than ware shown by his predecessor. For some years Wiiliam F. Harrity has been a boss of the democracy of Philadelphia, and by reason of that position has of course been prominent in the councils of the parvty in Pennsyl- vania. He is credited with a great deal of shrewdness in local polical mnanage- ment and a standard of capucity which would commend him as a Tammany leader. He has been a most devoted {riend of Mr. Cleveland and his influ- ence was potent in throwing the solid’| vote of Pennsylvania to the ex-presi- dent at Chicago. His open and persist- ent fight against Hill, both before und in the national convention, may be re- membered to the disadvantage of his influence with the New York friends of Hill, but there has been no expression of opposition to him from this source. 1t seoms hardly possible, however, that Mvr. Harrity will receive a very cordial support from the friends of the man whom he spared no effort to defent. It is interesting to note that Me. Wil- liam C. Whitney continues to play a prominent part in the preliminary arrangements for the campaign, and as he had more than any otherone man to do with securing the nomination of Mr. Cleveland itisa patural inference that he now represents his wishes. It is quite probable, therefore, that Mr. Whitney, asthe personal representa- tive of the candidate, will have a large share of the work of shaping the course of the campaign, and that Mr. Harrity will be little more than a figurehead. Mr. Whitney undoubtedly has decided capabilities as a political manager, and a campaign conducted by him would not be on the low plane to be looked for from the ovdinary politician. But whoever manages the democratic can- vass ussumes a very heavy task, for the conditions this year are lurgely adverse to democratic success. ; ———————— THE RE . The republican caucuses Ior tho se- lection of delegates to be voted for at the primaries next week Saturday will be heud in each of the wards of this city tomorrow night. The calls designating times und places for holding the caucuses appour in unother column. While Tk Bek does not believe in the caucus system, and hopes to see it abolished when wecome to select can- didates for the legislature and zounty offices, we recognize the importance of a full attendance on the part of repub- licans at theso caucuses 80 long as they form part of the preliminary machinery of selection, The prominence which Douglas county occupies in the coming cam- paign und the grave responsibility which will devolve upon the delegation from this county to the state convention should spur every oarnest republican to take an uotive pavt 1n the selection of the men who are to represent this county in the state convention. The wetion of thut convention will determine whether the party is to march to vie- tory or defeat in November. To make sure of the very best selections the rank and fileof the party in this city must attend the eaucuses. Not only is this essential for the success of the party, but as a matter of local pride Omaha and Douglas county should select a delegation composed of her ablest and most influential republicansy For the past sixteen months a sub- committee of the finance committee of tho United States senate has been in- vestigating the course of prices during a period before and after the passage of the present tariff law. The first results of the inquiry, covering the time from June 1, 1889, to September 1, 1891, twenty-eight months, was submitted a fow days ago with the unanimous ap- proval of the subcommittee, two of tho members of which are Senator Carlisle of Kentucky and Senator Hurris of Tennessee. It was an exceedingly im- portant as well as very arduous labor that was imposed upon tho six senators who conducted the investigation, and it was undertaken in an entirely non- partisan spivit and with a purpose to ar- rive at exact facts, the statomoent of which would command general confi- dence. Therefore the report submitted, being approved by all the members of the subcommittee, will be accepted uu- questioningly by all fair minded peopie. The results furnish a complete and conclusive refutation of the claim of the democrats that the prices of com- modities generally affected by tho tariff have increased and show how utterly misleading were tho democratic pre- dictions regarding the tariff made two yoars ngo. The unimpeachable proof obtained by this investigation is that prices have not risen in the United States as a result of the tarifl legislation of 1890. On the contrary, comparing the month of June, 1889, with the month of October, 1801, the two extremes of the inquiry, it is shown that the average retail prices in seventy cities of 214 articles of consumption, covering all the necessaries of life, had declined 0.64 of 1 per cent; that wholesale prices for the same articles had declined 0.33 of 1 por cent; that the prices of agricultural products had advanced 13.67 por cent, and that the average of wages hall advanced three-fourths of 1 per cent, The inquiry extonded to tho-articles embraced under the following headings: Food; cloth and clothing; fucl and light- ing; house furnishing goods; drugs and chemicals; metals and implements; lum- ber and building materials. The report of the committee states that in order to give the statistics collected the weight of undoubted authority it was decided at the outset, with entire unanimity, that the inquiry should be extendad only to such subjects and be carried on through such agencies, and by such methods, as wore approved by the unani- mous voice of the committee; and this plan was scrupulously followed in all decisions as to the charvacter, general scope and details of the investigation. Such being the course pursued, and the democrats of the subcommittee hav- ing fully concurred in the report, it wiil be altogether useless for any democrat to deny the accuracy or authority of tho facts presented. They completely dis- pose of the assertion of the democratic national platform that republican pro- tection is a fraud and a robbery. They conclusively answor the charge of Mr. Cleveland ~ that the plain people of the land are burdened as con- sumers with a tariffl system *‘that un- justly and rolentlessly demands from them, in the purchaso of the necessaries and comforts of life, an amount scarcely mot by the wages of hard and steady toil.” It is an exhibit, in short, which explodes all the theories and demolishes all the predictions and assumptions of tha democratic party regarding the effect of the tariff on prices, while it amply vindicates tho assurances of the advocates of protection. THE FRUIT PROSPECT. An important item in the expense ac- count of almost every household is the item of fruit, The citizens of Omahaand of all this region have had to pay good prices for fruit of every variety this sea- son, and there is no prospect thut prices will fall. In all of the great fruit regions the crop outlook is poor. Grapes promise well everywhere, but they are the only exception to the rule. Theapple crop, which may be said to be the chief de- pendence of fruit consumers and the one most affecting the general market, is almost a failure throughout the country. The condition of apples and peaches was reported low in June, but the July re- port is still lower. In Michigan, where apples are almost always depended upon as one of the most important crops, the July report shows the condition of the crop to be only 65 per cent. In many other states largely devoted to fruit the roturns for apples and peaches are very discouraging, some districts reporting an ubsolute failure and others a small crop. The Rocky mountain states and the Pacitic coast promise better than any other sections. 9ho only variety of fruit that prom- ises well throughout the country is the grape. There will be enough grapes to fully meet the demand. This hag boen the case for several years past, and prices have been so low as to afford scarcely any profit to the producer. In Iown and Nebraska, where the grape does remarkubly well and can be culti- vated at emall cost, it would be very profitable if it were possible for the grower to dispose of the product of his vines at fair prices. DBut he is as well ofl in this respect as the vineyard men of the eastern stutes or those of tho Pacific slope, notwithstanding that he has not so wide a market us thoy have. On the Atlantic seaboard giapes were almost given away last season, and the only hope of an improved market this yoar lies in the short crop of other fruits, particularly apples and peuches Upon the whole it now looks as if the vineyard product of the country would bo about the only one in the way of fruit that will be within the reach of poor poople this year. It 18 reported from Philadelphia that the coal combine will enforce another advance in the price of anthracite on August 1. The Philadelphia Press says thut the dealers in thut city believe that #1 more may be added in the nextsix months. “‘Suchamadvance,” says that puper, ‘‘ean sbatboly fail to impress very seriously apy jury called to con- sldor the questiomswhether two consoli- dated ronds va‘ competitors,” This scems to hold paut a very slight hope that the quostiow & to the right of the coal barons to rdb, fho people may possi- bly be brought befere a jury sometime. 'I‘ho I‘hllmh-lpmw apers would not hold out such a hope!if; t;mro were really no prospect of such an ovent, for they are not disposed to Jifhit the coal combine. They have professed to beliove hitherto that it was a behbvolent organization of capitalists for the purpose of relieving the wants of the poor who use conl. “It will be a grave disappointment,” says the Press, “if, as is now said by coal dealers, coal is advanced to private con- sumere.”’ But it has been advanced to private consumers, and no consumer can buy it today at prosent prices for future delivery. The dealers know that it will bo advanced to a yet higher figure, and it is the plain purpose of the com- bine to go right on advancing the price until the robbery is stoppad by the in- tervention of tho law. DENT HARRISON has received gonoral and merited commendation for tho high character of his judicial ap- pointments, and in-the selection of Mr. Sh [ Pennsylvania for the supreme bench heappears to have fully main tained the stundara of such appoint- ments. The Philadelphia papers, re- gardless of politics, speak in the highest torms of the qualifications of Justice Shiras, who is distinguishod not loss for his persunal qualities than for his pro- fessional attainments. The fact that he Las never held a judicial position is of no consequence, as justices of the su- preme court have frequently been ap- pointed from the bar direct. The bench of the supreme court is now full, and there is every reason to expect that the new justice, whosucceeds tho late Justice Bradley, will prove a most valuable ac} quisition to that tribunal. HoN. BEN S. BAKER, who has been prominently talked of by the people of this city and state as a candidate for the governorship, has publicly announced his inability and unwillingness to enter the race. Mr. Baker cannot afford to give up the office of United States at- torney, which is in line with his pro- fession and yields him a much larger in- come than would the governorship, and it would have been impossible for him to make the race unless he did resign, which would haye been a great sacrifice financially. Mr. Baker can feel justly proud of the large following that he has in this city and there is no doubt that he cun command their enthusiastic support should he ever decide to place himself in position to agk for popular endorse- ment. THE taxpayers of Omaha will be grati- fied to learn thatthe elevator in the city hall building will soon be in work- ing order. Our city officials are not ex- pected to Llimbzwo or three flights of stairs. Such exertions have almost de- populated the courthouse and made it next to {mpossiblé to find anPhody will- ing to serve the county as cominissioner, recorder or judge. The only man who has not complained on this score is Frank Moores. He has climbed from the base to the top story without mur- muring and is willing to do so for three years longer. — HURRAH for Omaha culture! No one was callea a liarat the last council meeting.

Mr. Bakor's lotter announcing that he is not a candidate for gubernatorial honors reads as follows: Omana, Neb,, July 22.—To the Editor of Tare Bre: 1 suppose it can safely be snid that every live citizen of this free country has a fairly developed ambition to atleast earn good interest on the talents intrusted to him by the Creator and to move upward 1n the scale of existence and the estimation of his fellow citizens to as high a point as it may be possible for him to roach. Political, moral, social and inteilectual ad- vancement widens the scope of one's oppor- tunities for service, not only for himself but on behalf of nis fellows. 1 may be pardoned, therefore, for admittin at within the last few weoks I have boon ploased with thoe cor- dial encouragement and pledges of support which have como to me in connection with the gubernatorial nomination soon to bo made &1 the state convention at Lincoln. So many favorable and earnest expressions of faith in my availability as a candidate have como to me, nos only from Omaha, and Douglas county, but from other sections of the state, that 1t would seem as though Douglas county's endorsoment, and the nom- ination might be secured. ‘Ihe situation is at loast serious onough to domand atton- tion, and I have given it careful considera- tion. Should the nomination be tendered to me—a compliment which I have no disposi- tion to take for granted—it's acceptance would nvolve the giving up of my presont oficial position, ono direotly in the line of mny profession, and much more remunerative than the governorship, should election fol- low. Moreover, the campaign and the mainten* ance of the execntive's household, if elected, would necessitate an outlay of money very much In excoss of the income, and beyond my present convenionce. An election would take mo out of the practice of law for & long time, and seriously interfore with the pros- pect of building up a reputation at the bar, which is every true lawyer's hope, purpose and ambition. Appreciating to the fuliest extent the very generous assurances of support, which the suggestion of my namo has brought out, and thanking most heartily all the friends and acquaintances who have urgea me to become an apgressive candidate, 1 deem it advisable to decline, BEN S. BARER, Mr. Frank Ransom’s attention was called to Mr. Baker's lotter of withdrawal by the Clatterer and his opinion was asked as to its effoct on the politicat situation. I don’t soo that Baker's letter changes the face of af- fairs matorially,” said Mr. Ransom. “The sentiment in Douglas county has been grow- ing in favor of Judge Crounse and this will simply render a harmonlous support more cortain.”” Whon asked as to his own'candi- dacy Mr. Ransom said that he bad no desiro to enter tue race. Long bofore his namo was mentionod he had beon an advoeato of Judgo Crounse, believing that it would bo good polioy to nominate him, Mr. Ransom reforrod t0 the fact that Judge Crounse was a man of affairs, Ho had boen a district judge, su- preme judge, cougrassman, collector of rove- nue, and filled all of these offices to the sausfaotion of the people. He was now dis- charging the duties of an important oftice at Washington, and aside from all this Judge Crounso had always been on the side of the people Frank Ransom’s head has not been swelled by the attempt of his friends to boom him for the governorship. In fact Lo has never soriously contemplated becoming a candidate for the position, although he has had many points in his favor and has a host of friends, including T Bee, W. H. Munger has declinea to accept the democratis congressional nomination in the Thira district. This leaves the field clear for Dr. Keiper of Pierce and ho wiil prob ably be nominated at Norfolk Monday night unless Munger should change his mind. Joe Bartley’s interview in Tur Bre on the “auditor’s office as run for tne past four years,” ceems to have stirred up the animals at the state capital. The Lincoln News which 1s pretty good republican autbority says that Benton and Bowerman are raging mad and that Mr. Bartley’s efforts to mollify them have proved unavailing. Juage I. W. Lausiog of Lincoln, “tne sing- ing pilgrim of Lancaster county,” was 1o the city yesterday and declared empbatically that while the Lancaster delegation were pledged to Bowerman they cannot be traded by Si Alexander or Benton, Tue B has received the following e) which explams itself: GraND IsLanp, Neo,, July 21.—Mr, Cam- paign Clatterer: Itscems to mo you are al- lowing this man Seely, Tom Majors’ man Friday, to clatter too much. 1 sce heis claiming that the man of the hickory shirt will be nominated governor on the first bal- jot. Now, let me give you a few figures that will make him shut up. Seely assorts thut the western part of the state will stand solidly for Mujors. Ho hasn’t definitely stated where tho western part of Nebraska begins, but, for argurient merely, ['ll give him all that part of the stute lying west of a line drawn from the eastern border of Holt and Webster coun - ties, That gives him forty-nine counties, a big two-thirds of tho area of the state, Sup- pose Majors’ clalm is good and that overy delegate from every county in that vast area is for him, 1s he still sure of the nomination ¢ A glance at the figures will show. The west- ern counties inciuded in the district and their vote iu the state convention is as fol- tle, Wheeler Total lll be 841 votes in thestate conver - tion, allowing Boyd county five votes, the same number given it at the Kearney cou- ventlon lastspring. It will take 421 votes o nominate. The ‘‘west’ has only 275, But Majors does not own all the delegates in the district mentioned, He will not bave Hall county, for one.

Haw County. PRSP, OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. It 1s more than hikely that home rule legis- Istion may be postponed for a yoar or there- about. There are signs that Mr. Gladstone prefers not to face at once tho inevitable do- featof any oill he may send to the lords. Lord Salisbury will not permit any homo rule bill, with such a majority 8s it oan now ocommand behind it, to escapo the veto of the upper house. Such an obstruction by the lords, Mr. Gladstone has said, would not be rogarded as a sufficient reason for another appeal to the people, and possibly he may bo roaay to meot It oarly as woll as late. But there are other monsures that oan be car- ried, and which the lords will not be likely to veto, that will greatly strongthen the lib- erals and make their sucvess at another elec- tion well-nigh assured. The extension and limitation of tho suffrage, the one man one vote reform, reform in the registration laws, compulsory allotments of land in tho rural districts, incroasing the power of the London county couucll, home rulo for London, the paymont of eloction expenses out of the public treasury, and the payment of salaries to members of the Parliament, such are some of these measures. Thoy aro all contuined in the Newcastle program to which tho liberal party is plodged. The great objection to this policy of delay is Mr. Gladstone's age, for such a program would postpone home ruie until 1804 at least. If he lived until then he would be 85 years old, and might not retain the necessary vigor for a now campaign like the one just olosing. On the other hand, there is apparoently no veal prospoct that home rule will como until the people of Great Britain have once more and more omphatically pronounced in its favor. The commons may say ‘‘yes,” butthe lords will say “no;” and if by any accident it should escape the veto of the lords, the queen might exerciso her long unused pro- rogative and dofeat the bill, for hor opposi- tion to Mr. Gladstono's. purpose is as intense as that of Lord Salisbury himself. » e Mr. Gladstone's difficulties will begin when he undertakes to form a new ministry. The nocessity of forcing into the queen’s sorvico radicals like Mr. Labouchere, who are personally obnoxious to hor, will con- front him. A ministry which will bo in any sense representative of the liberal party as it now exists will have to be largely re- craited from the radical benches. Mr. Glad- stono has never been a good courtier and his reception by the queen will undoubtedly be unsympathetic, But the precedents and uniform practice of the Victorian reign havo tuken the sovereign complety out of politics. Whatever her personal convictions or preju- dices may be, officially she 1s neither tory nor liberal, but absolutely neutral. She has never been wanting in rospest for tho de- clared will of the nation, nor will she now. The country has gone radical oven more un- mistakaoly than it bas favored home rule, and radical ministers of the crown will be the logical order or the day. It willbe a strango spectacle when Mr. Labouchero is summoned into the gueen’s presence to Kiss the royal hand, but it will be extended to him in good tume and with characteristic dignity—at leust the tips of the fingers. *e The Belglan constituont assombly bas as yet taken but littie positive action regarding the amendmont of the constitution, but it is understood that nn ngreement has alresdy been reached betweon the clerical party and the ministry, which is partly liberal, by which the plan of referendum will become a part of the new constitution. By this plan the king will be empowered to submit the enactment of any law airectly to the nation for its approval or condemnation under given conditions whenever he shall deem it wise. 1t1s a piece of radical republicanism whicn has thus far found its way as an oxperiment into no form of government except that of Switzerland, where its adoption has been so recent that no reasonable judgment of its value can yet be formed. Itis likely that the coalition formed in support of this will be hostile to universal suffrage. If such 1s the case defeat for that proposition, which is cer- tainly 13ss of an experiment and less radical than the referendum, is beyond question, as the clericals, with the support of the minis- try, command the necessary two-thirds majority of tho assembly. S w*a The champion negro slayer of Africa, Dr Poters, is the first man who has thoaght it useful to issue a pamphlet on the best way of fighting the natives. As Dr. Poters has had larger and more unnecessary experience in this live than any other traveler, ho is doubtiess an expert well quahfiod to treat the subject. He has a voor opinion of the courage of native tribes, and says the whites have nothing to fear from them in the open, but that the tricky and treacherous charac- tor of the enemy ronders It necessary to by constantly on the lookout against surprises in forost or jungle. Dr. Peters fills ninoteen pages tolling what ho knows about tho way to kill African natives, Inasmuch as his sanguinary doings in Africa, it is said, are to bo investizated by order of Kmporor ‘William, it is hoped he will not have any further ovportunity, personally, to practiee the tonchings based upon his large and varied oxperience. ——— REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
