Cories of the World-Herald of Mon- day, containing the Carter fake, have reached Wushington, and we are breavh- lessly awaiting the news that President Harrison and Mr. Carter have jumped 4nto the ocean. MR. CLEVELAND denies that he had any conference with Tammuany magnates while in New York. His denial is fully borne out by the probabilities in the case, for the Tammany people are not doing much in the conference line this year. TuE Philadelphia city government is prepuring 1o deal with tho smoke nuisance. Omaha has av affliction of this kind which the council ought to take notice of. There is no reason why it should be permitted to grow, and it muy be less dillicult to apply & remedy now than at some time in the future. THE groatest argument in Cleveland’s election was a desive for change. The people had not seen u democratic ad- ministration for so long that they had forgotten what it really was. Aund it has been clearly proven by Harrison's election that thoy are satistied hereafter that the party is still the same undesiva- ble entity. PROGRESS is being made in the lower part of the city in removing wooden sidewalks und replacing them withstone or the slngolithic material, but aothing 15 being done to repair the dilupidatea and dungerous plank walks which are to remain, nnd which are numerous in the northern nnd southern portions of the city. There is 1nexcusable curolessnoss in this matter which cannot be oo so- verely condemned. THE people’s party of Colorado struck W Snag as 8000 a8 it swung out into the stream. OnThursday itnominated David H. Waite for governor, and tho very next morning the Denver News, the organ of the pirty in that state, which rocontly forsook the democracy on account of the silver question, came out #quarely in opposition to Waite, declur- fug that he sbould not be elested. The News suys that ho is opposed to organ- izod lubor, nud has abused a certain re- ligious organization. This is a bad state of things for a bran now party. BEE.! THE MAN WHO CAN WIN, The republicans of Nebraskn are now anxiously looking to Douglas county. The man whom the republicans of Douglas county back with a solid delo- gation will be nominated governor pro- viding he has a record that needs no de- fense and cannot only command the un- divided support of the party, but will draw largely from the opposition. in other words a candidate who canenter the raco anssured of carrying Douglas county by not less than 5,000 majority can have the nomination. THE | hns renched the conclusion that among the candidates now in the field, the man who of all others would poll the largest vote in Douglas county is Lorenzo Crounse. He is a man whom the people have tried many times nnd have never found wanting. s is in touch with the masses on all the vital issues of the day. He commands the confidence of the farmers, artisans and business men, and would bring to the executive chair an invaluable expori- ence gotten in pubiic life. He is broad- minded and liberal in his views and has not been entangled in any of the fac- tional contosts by which our party has been torn up. He is an able debater, thoroughly informed upon the pending issues and could meet any antagonist on the stump., He is thovoughly Ameri- can, and his loyalty to his country and flag was tried through the ordeal of fire in the war for the preservation of the union. inse is not secking the of- ce for him to accept the nomi But the party in this crisis must have for its ndard bearer a man who can win. This is what the republicans did in South Da- kota last week and what the republicans of Minnesota did Thursday when they nomivated Knute Nelson for governor by acclamation. Nelson is the most pro- nounced republican anti-monopolist in Minnesota, but the salvation of the party depended upon nomination of just sueh . man, It now remains for the republicans of this county to say whether they want to invite disaster by centering upon a can- didate who has no clements of strength or suve the party by uniting upon a man who combines within himself the essen- tial qualifications for nn nggressive and victorious campaign. ALDR! 7 The speech of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island on the tariff, made in the United \tes senate on Tuesday, is accepted us giving the keynote of the republican campaign or th sue and it is hardly possible that the protection- ist side of the question will be more thoroughly and ubly presented. Sen- ator Aldrich 1sas familiar with this t as any man in the country and as a member of the subcommittee of the finance committee of the semate, which forsixteen months was investi- gating the effects of the tariff on prices and wages, is in possession of an array of facts which make his position im- pregnablo Senator Aldrich pointed out that the democratic platform of 1892 is in many respects a radical departure from any of the previous official utterances of that party. At no time in the history ot the country, he said, except in the course of the movement for nullification, has any attempt he:etofore been made to make the doctrine of the unconstitutionality of protective duties the essential ele- ment of a political creed. The democ- racy has reached its present position by gradual steps. The platforms of 1884 and 1858 were so constructed as to secure the approval of a large number of in- cidental protectionists who then held a place, nominally at least, in the demo- cratic ranks; but in the platform of 1892 all disguises are thrown off, and for the first time the party is arvayed in em- phatic antagonism to the tariff rates which contain any element of protec- tion. Proceeding to an examination of the democratic criticisms and attacks upon the tariff act of 1890, Mr. Aldrich ob- served that the best proof of the wisdom of the ndoption and retention of the pro- tective policy was in the progress of the country under it during the last thirty years. The facts obtained in the inves- tigation of the effect of the present tar- iff on prices, the reportof which wi aporoved by the democratic members who purticipated in the investigation, were freely deawn upon by Senator Ald- rich to show the unwarranted character of the democratic claim that the tariff law of 1890 had largely increased the cost of living in this country and low- ered wages. The senator said it wae difficult to see how the results of this inquiry could be n surprise to any one, uniess he should be a professional tariff reformer, for the reason that it has been for many months apparent to the great mass of the people of the United States that none of the democratic predictions in regurd to higher prices and greater cost of living as the result of the tariff legislation of 1890 had been fulfilled. The decline in the cost of living from June, 1880, to May, 1892, as shown by the report of the finance committee, was 8.4 por cont. The advance in wages as shown by the same report was .75 of 1 per cont. This makes an average ad- vance in tho purchasing power of wages of 4.15 per cent. Assuming $600 as the average income of the families of the country, this would be equiva- leat to say $25 per fawily, or an aggrogate saving for 13,000,000 families of $325,000,000 for each ye: It is sig- nificant, said Senator Aldvich, thai while the cost of living in the United States declinod for the period covered by the investigation of the finunce com- mitteo the costof living in England in- creused 1.9 per cent. Senutor Aldrich had no difiiculty in showing by indisputablo facts that the commerce of the country had been very materially enlarged since the present tan(l law went into effect, and also that the agricultural interest had been more prosporous - during thie period, while, with regard to the absurd charge that the tariff is 1esponsible for the lahor disturbunces, it was shown that within a certuin pericd labhor troubles were far more numerous in Great Britain than in the United States, and involved more than three times as many persons in proportivn to the number enguged in useful occupations in the respective countries. On every point of fuct made E OMAHA | against the tariff law of 1890 by tho | demncrats, the spscch of Senator Add- rich furnishes completo and conclusive refutation, and its elaborate tion of nuthentie statistics ought to be carefully studied by every intelligent votor, THE TRON MADE AND USED. For the benefit of those croakers who aro now engnged in the business of try- ing to make the people beliove that the shutting aown of certain iron mills por- tends n season of business disuster, the New York Commercial Bull:tin, a journal devoted to business, and entirely non- partisan in character, pressnts an array of facts concorong the present state of the ivon business in this country that is very interesting. The testof the stateof business iniron s in overything else lies in n compari- son of production with consumption. It { hus been said that the iron market must break down because the country was not consuming enough to warrant the pres- ent rate of production. “The accumu- lation of pig iron,” says the Bulletin, ‘‘has not been groat enough, nor the ex- cess of production over consumption great enough, te warrant any upprohen- sion. But it has been suflicient to cor- rect the evil by causing some furnaces to discontinue production, and the subse- quent great striko of iron workers has alroady made an important difference in the production and the consumption also for the first month of the new fiscal year, This is in a meusure a corrective and remedial force. With the tempo- vary shrinkage in production there comes already considerable strengthen- ing in prices for the advantage of those works that are able to continue their output; there will probably come for many of those now engaged in the struggle a considerablo decrease in cost of production after the settlement of the controversy, and the expanded demand for iron and steel products which is cer- tain to follow will in all probability place that business on a stronger basis than before, Thus there seems to be on to believe that, in spite of all croakers, the iron industry is getting into a healthier condition than ever be- fore under the operation of legitimatoe and natural influences. Atall events, this industry affords no excuse for unfa- _vorable inferences as to the condition of the business of the country.” The production of iron in this country during the fiscal year just ended was 9,710,819 gross tons, against only 8.010,- 297 tons during the preceding twelve months. The increase is largely due to the stoppage of many furnaces and works during the first half of 1891, on uccount of the great strike of coke workers, which reduced the output about 1,274,000 tons for the half year. The consumption during the year ended July 1, 1892, was 9,377,371 tons, after de- ducting the increase of stocks unsold. This is the groatest actual consumption ever known in any yoar and exceeds by more than 400,000 tons the consumption of both domestic and foreign pig iron in any previous year. THE CORN CROP SAFE, Reports from all parts of Nebraska show that the heavy rain which now ems to have sed over was wel- comed with delight by the farmers and regarded as completely disposing of all doubt as to the success of the corn crop this y The proionged period of dry, hot weather had exhausted the moist- ure from the soil and corn was begin- ning to dry up in many localities. The rth has how received a supply of rain- water that will undoubtedly last through the remainder of the season, with the scasional showers which always come, and the growth of corn from now until harvest can hardly fail to be prodigious. The farmers of this state had been confident of a good corn crop this year until their tields began to show the effects ot the period of excessive heat which praceded the rain. A few more days of that parching weather would have ruined the crop in many sections of the corn belt. So greatly were the farmers disturbed by the prospect of a disastrous drouth that in some localities they subscribed mouey in liberal sums to have rain made to order. In Grand 1sland they had subscribed 2,500 for Melbourne’s services, and if they had con just one day earlier in doing so they would have had to pay the rain- maker for the splendid rain which they received at the 1ds of nature, And this suggests an interesting ques- tion. Can a rainmaker legaily collect puy for arain with which his operations clenrly have nothing whatever to do? 1f Melbourne had commenced operations at Grand Island in the nick of time, would the subscribers to that fund of $2.500 have been compelled to pay for their share of a downpour that was gen- eral, and [rom which they could not have escaped? No doubt this question will be brought up sometime unaer just such circumstances, But the rain came, at ull events, and it was worth mllions of dollars to the corn growers of the west. Fortunately it will not damage small grain to any considerable degree. A great deal of tho latter had already been housed or stucked and the low temperature and brisk breezes following the rain will suve that which is still exposed, The rain cou!d not have been more timely and it is no wonder that the farmers are happy. ————e M'KINL ' LINCOLN, Governor McKinley of Onhio will de- liver an address at Lincoln next Wednesday, under the auspices of the Young Men’s Republican club of that city. The club has extended an invita- tion to all simiiar republican organiza- tions to be present snd participate in the reception to the distinguished Ohioau, and itis to bo hoped the re- sponse will bo general The occasion should be improved by all republicans who can avail themselves of the oppor- tunity to hear this able and eloquent ex- ponent of republican principles, who has attained international fame as o states- ma Governor MoKinley represents, more fully perbaps than any other man in the coutry, the protectionist side of the leading issue in the pending campaign, and his ability to discuss it is not sue- passed by that of any other min in the country.

There should be A fhemorable gathering of republicans xn‘q coln next Wednes- i day. e Tur svstem of meat inspection, in- augurated by Sesrota-y Rusk and now in force in uil of ¥hb great packing cen- ters of this countsgl is producing decid- edly bencticial results not only for con- sumers, but for producers and packers, In South Omaha the system of micro- scopical inspection has been extended rapidly, and yet the demand for in- spected meat hns more than kept pace with it. During the past year the mar- kets of Denmarl:, Gormany, Austria, France, Spain and Italy have been opened 1o inspected American pork. As may be imagined, this has resultad in great increase in the exports of this im- portant American product, but the pres- ent volume of our foreign trade in this line is small in comparison with what it will be when the European consumers have become more familiar with the methods by which American meats are prepared for market. Since the inspec- ton begin the prico of hogs has been gradually increasing, ana it is estimated hat the farmers of the country will re- cieve about a cent a‘pound more for hogs marketed this year than they would if inspection had not been intro- duced. THE interesting statoment comes from England that “the United States does not really enjoy as ntuch liberty as Eng- land, owing to the position oceupied by capital and the comparative disadvan- tage at which lator is placed in the United States.” Commenting upon the absurdity of this, a contemporary hits the murk protty fairly when it says: “Working peovle of the United States would not hear for a week the oppression of labor that exists in the United King- dom, and for comparison of actual con- ditions it is not extravagant to say that working people in the United States have about as much to spend for luxuries and diversions as the working people of the United Kingdom have for the neces- saries of life.” The latter statement is at least nearer the truth than the former. IF pUBLIC improvements are ener- gotically pushed from now until the close of the workingseason it will add materially to tho pi ity of the com- munity. Every mefehant in Omaha is hoping that the #uthorities will realize this and act accordingly. CAMPAIGN CLATTEE, b At last it can bd gafd that Douglas county republicans are finz together.” ~ And, what is better stiliShey are concentrating in sucha way thatiwnen tho county dele- gates go to tho republican state convention next week they will 86 unanimously 1n favor of nominating the: st available candidate for governor, Lorenzo'Crounse. At last, ull the indications fayor tuat much-to-be-desired consummation, Fears had becn expressed that factional differences would prevent concerted action by the party in Omaha. Had those fears been realized it would bave been a sorry day for the republican party of Douglas county. The Blair Pilot; discussing the matter, says: “If Douglas county goes to the state convention inamad tangle she wili be 1gnored and tho result may reach so far as to make a bad mess of it all along the lice. They should koow that there is more than personal preferccos at stake, and they alone may malke or unmake darty success in the whole stato.”” The Pilot expresses the beliof that Tue Ber's advice to get together 1is “logical, sensiblo and timely,” and tho re- publicans of Omaba have ondorsed this view by accepting it. Anotber endorsemont of Judgo Crounse comes from the Seward Reporter, which Crounse of Washington county will be a formidable candidate for the repulican nomiuation for the governorship. Judge Crounse is a man of high personal character and excellent ability, and would make a very strong candidate.” ‘Pho Blair Republican, whose namo belies its politics, savs it does not believe that Lorenzo Crounse would accept a nomination from the railroad bosses of this state. It would not be consistent with his rocord as an anti-monopolist.” The attention of the Republican editor is called to the fact that the railroads are not nominating the repuo- lican ticket this year, but the people are. ‘I'he following advice from the Hastings Nebraskan i3 equally appliavle to Douglas and the other counties of the state: *“Re- publican voters of Hastings and Adams county must remember that much of the suc- cess of the party depends upon the kind of men it sends as delegates to the convention Sound delegates that represent the party and not a faction of the party.” Church Howe was in Omaha yesterday.

Another democratic candidate in tho Fourth district is R. S. 13ibb ot Beatrice, who will be backed by the Gage county dele- mation. Saline county also has an aspirant for the nomination, 5. 8. Alley, who has employed the Wilber Domoorat to boomn him. On the republican side of the house, J. O.

In the next House of Commons the Irish members, for the socond timo since Mr. Par- nell first took up home rule and pressed it upon tho uttention of parliament with inflex- ible purpose, have the balance of power. In the pariiament elected in 1885 thoy would have had Mr, Gladstoue at their meroy if he had not adopted their cause. In tho prosent parlismont their power is even greater than it was then, but unfortunately Mr. Parnell is vot living to_lead and to unite them. By wise, sagacious’ and moderate action they can secure tho speedy passage of a home rule bill through the Commons, As Mr. Giadstoue was enabled to secure the subport of Mr. Parnell and tho Irish nationalists in 1535, when he produced his great measure, 1t ought not to be impracticavle to obtain their approval and co-operation a second time. Mr. Parnell’s oxample and their own action six yoars ago commit them to Mr. Glad- stone's general schome. Tho great com- moner has been the most loyal triend the island over had in Eoglana. Who will say that the Irish are without gratitude, and that they will deliborately abandon the champion who has made their causo his own? ' A new political party has made its appear- ance in France, which may be described as coaservative republican. It aims at pre- serving those elements of political life that the republic has already gained and which radicalism is showiug a disposition to uproot. It marks nothing less than the gathering tide of u reaction, uot, as in former years, by the monarchists against republicanism, but by partisans of the latter agaiust radicalism of & tooadvanced type. Its object is not to overturn the present regime, but to main- tain it, and to derend it against those who are striving to substitute in its stead democratic institutions of a more sociahstic character. Several things have contributed to the formation of this new political party, which seems destined to play henceforth an important, and even predominant, role in the affairs of France, and recont publishod letters from Paris throw considerable light upon thesubject. They draw attention to the fact that the rogard and esteem which Presidont Carnot sud several of his minis- ters, notably M. Ribot, of tho department of foreign nffairs, have succeedod in acyuiring among all classes of the peopie have ended by breaking down the barriers-which for so mauy years past separated the aristocracy of the country from the official world, For the first time during the present year social intercourse has been established botw oen the right banl of the Seine and the left, and the Faubourg St. Gormain has now paid its court to the republican executive at the Ely- sec. = A St. Petersburg correspondent of a Lon- don paper draws a 100st gloomy picture of the outlook in Russia, which be dcclares to e much worse than it was at this time in 1501, He says that last yoar thore was no mention of failure of crops till June, and av the worst period ouly seventcen provinces were officiaily declared to be suffering from famine, whereas in May this year eloven provinces were acclared to have eithor totally baa or very deficient prospoots, in- cluding several of the sawmo provinces wiich had suffered aiready, and which ara conse- quently in & most serious position, The government stores, ho remarks, wero ex- hausted long ago, and the grain in the hands of speculators will bo held a3 almost prohibi- itory prices.

The bitter recolleotions of the kulturkampf, which Princo Bismnarck's sub- sequent pilgrimage to Canossa nover entirely wiped out, may have contributed to bring the ultramontane party into line with the Rovernment: but this result is also due PArt at least to tho marked cordiality of the vatican toward Germany's eastern and west- orn foos, for it has created among tho Cath- olic population a patriotic reaction, which makes them less disposed to view guestions of national policy exclusively from the clor- 1cal standpoint. As tho ultramontane party practically holas the balance both in the Prussian and the imperiul Diots, any indi- cation of the attitude it willadopt during the next parliamentary session deserves to be carefully noted. ——— Wateh the Vets Pasto Him. - Democrat, Tho Grand Army of the Republio men tell the country to stand asido and watch how they will demolish Clovelund.
