THE young .ladies of Atchison have made the taste for olives a test of cul- ture in society. The Italians engaged In railrond building in this country should at once make tracks for Atchison and shine. To THINK that such a bright and growing city as Kearney should be com- pelled to be the scene of Kem’s renom- ination is sad indeed. We trust that it will not paralyze all commercial activity there for many months. Two gentlemen, numed [sanc Pusoy Gray of Indiana and David Bennet Hill of New York, are consuming vast wads of silence just now and wearing the wicked expression of a goat with its eyes full of malicious business. H. A. BAKER, candidate for congress from the Rochestor, N. Y., district, has withdrawn, J. H. Baker, alliavce candi- date for governor of Minnesota, has withdrawn, and Ben S. Baker of Omaha has also withdrawn. The Baker family is not like the Burkis family this year. CHICAGO is now discovering what it lost by its shabby treatment of the demo- cratic national convention. It is said that seven of the votes against the ap- propriation were caused by thé roofless wigwam and the extortionate bills of Chicago hotels. It never pays to be swimsh, IN DAYS past by when the lower house of congress was democratic the repub- lican senate stood between the de- spoilers and lunatics of the lower house. But if Cleveland be elected this year, it monns that the government will be in the hands of the enemies to this coun- try's prosperity. paked RS « TuE refusul of the council to order that all paving work be pushed forward as rapidly us pussible seems a little re- markable in view of the fact that this branch of public improvement has been greatly deluyed. This action offers an opportunity for a variety of conjectures, some of which would oot be altogether complimentary. IT 18 a truly pitinble time when the democrats cun not draw any comfort from the August election in Alabama, but they ure doing so now with a vigor worthy of a better theme. But even in this they aro Goeceived, The fucts are that the people’s party took litule or no interest in this campaign and it was a porsonnl fight of two democratic fac- tions. The republicans haa no state ticket. The fight is coming in Alabama and we suppdse the state will go demo- cratic us usual this fall, but not by any grout majorit e e JUNE 80 lust ended vhe year since the McKinley tariff on tin plate went into effect. ‘I'he first quarter, from June 80, 1891, to Septomber 80, 1891, shows that 826,022 pounds of tin plate were pro- duced in this country; for the next quurter there were 1,409,821 pounds; next quarter 8,004,087 pounds, and for the last quarter 8,000,000 pounds, and it is esti- mated that 200,000,000 pounds will be produced during the next year. Now,” how in the face of these facts can any free trade orgun attempt to delude its readers by declaring that no tin plaie is being made in this country? THE OMAHA DAILY BE IHE LESSON OF ALABAMA. Alabama is one of the states of the south in which the allinnce movement attained .large proportions and where, consequently, the people’s party was expected to make a strong showing. The result of the state election last Monday disposes of all hope of the new political movement amounting to any thing in Alubama and insures the ele toral vote of that state to the presiden- tia' candidates of the democracy. Thete is an instructive lesson in this result which ought to be carefully studied by the ex-republican members of the people’s party in the north. Inorder to understana the situation it is neces- sary to state a little history. There has been disnflection among the democrats of Alabamn for saveral years, and this was strongly wmanifested at the state convention of two years ago, when a determined effort was made to relegate to the rear the old party man- agersand put new men to the front. Reuben I. Ko'b was the leading spirit ‘in this movemnnt, and he was boaten as u candidate for the gubsrnatorial nomi- nation. He acquiesced in the decision at that time and the successful candi- date, Jones, was easily, elected. Kolb, 18 the commisioner of agriculture, had made himsalf very popular with the farmers and he prepared to renew his effort for the nomination this year. But he was again unsuccessful. Governor Jones was renominated, whereupon the supporters of Kolb, very largely mem- bers of the alliance or professedly in sympathy with that organization, bolted and nominated Kolb. Here was afforded an opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the new political movement. A fierce and bit- ter cnmpaign was carried on, the repub- licans leaving a clear field by not plac- ing a ticket in the field. Both sides bid strongly for the colored vote, the Kolb faction pledging it protection at any cost. The white republicans were generally for Kolb, and there is reason to believe that he got at least half the colored vote. But he was defeated by a large majority. This was due to the fact that he was deserted by the alliance democrats whoso support he had counted upon. In other than u presidential year he would very likely have been success- ful, but now the .members of the south- ern alliance who are democrats first cannot be induced to cast their votes so ns to weaken the democracy in that section. Speaking in advance of the Alabama election, a northern democratic organ said that if Kolb and the people’s party should be defeated ‘it will be next to an unerring finger-board pointing to a solid electoral vote for Cleveland in the south.” Nothing is more certain than that the new party will not pravent this result, because the alliance people of the south will very generally vote the democratic ticket. Most of them who participated in and dominated the Omaha convention, professing un- bounded loyalty to the people’s party, it is safo to say will deposit in the ballot box next November a democratic ticket. Undoubtedly these men will keep up a show of interest in the new political movement, 50 ns not to discourage it in the republican states of the north, but they will give it no helpat the polls. They wiil do nothiug to imperil the chances of the democratic pacty in the south. This is the obvious lessou of the Alabama election and it ought to make some impression upon those members of the people’s party in the novth wro still think that ns between republican and democratic principles the former are better for the country. MEINLEY IN OMAHA. The able and eloguent exponent of the American system of protection, Gover- nor McKinley, will be in Omaha Friday evening and deliver an address on the great issue of the vnending campaign. He will have an enthusiastic welcome by the republi- caus of this city, who honor him equally with republicans elsewhere as one of the most distinguished of the party leaders —a brainy, earnest, courageous cham- pion of the principles of republicanism. Governor MeKinley is justly recognized as the foremost advocate of the policy of protection and no voice wiil be heard oftener or- with greater effect than his in the campaign. The demand upon him will very likely be beyond his ability to meet and the republicuns of Nebraska are to be congratulated on having the privilege of hearing Gov- nor MeKinley at the beginning of the campaign. That the republicans of Omaha will manifest their appreciation of the opportunity is fully assured. The Ohio statesman will have an audience here which will coavince him that re- publicanism still has a powerful follow- ing in Nebraska and that the system of American protection is not friendless in this great state of the central west. T0 INVESTIGATE THE PINKERTONS. The United States senato on Tuesdny discussed and passed without division a vesolution providing for the investiga- tion of the Pinkerton forces. The reso- lution was reported from the committee on education and labor and calls for the appointment of a select comnittes of seven senators to investigite and report on the facts reiative to the employment of armed bodies of men or delectives in connection with differences batwesn workmen und employers, the reasons for the crention of such organized bodies of armed mn, their chs or and uses, when, how and by whom they have boen omployed and paid and unler what authority.e A thorough investigation conducted on these lines will sutisfy tho country, the perfunctory inquiry prose- cuted by the house committes having amounted to practically nothing. The discussion showed that the senate fully nppreciatos the importunce of the subject. But one senator, as appears from the press report, suggested that the investigation be postpoued, and he admitted that the question raisedns to whether any man or corporation might employ armed men wus a vory impertant one. He doubted whether any corpora- tion had o vight to hire such, persons. The proposal to let the inquiry go over to the next session met with no favor, as thero was obviously no good reason for such delay. Now, while publi¢ in- terest in the matter 1s fresh, is the time to investigate it, and it is of sufficient importance to merit tha attention of a special committoo of he seliute. It is gratifying to know fhat the pop- ular protest, which has been practically unaninous, against the employment of the a‘mel m:ircenaries KNOWn Pink- erton detectives has 1 d respectful consideration from Umitod States, and that the importance of the subject is fuily recognizod there. However much the bioodshed caused by the use of this force way be deplored, if it shall be the means of suppressing the practice of employing armed bodies of men, reeruited by private parties, and enforcing the principle that individuals and corporations alike must de pend for protection of 1ife and property upon the lawful authorities nnd the resources at their command, it will not have been without any compensatory result. The remedy for insidious evils is rarely ap- plied antil they have prodused conse- quonces which challenge universal at- tention and make a demand for sum- mary action. Such an evil is the Pink- erton system, and the bloodshed at Homestend was the inevituble product of ius application, The preseut business prosperity of the south proves that the commercial pro- gress of the country is not local or sec- tional. The repoet of the collector of the port of New Orleans for the fiscal vear just ended shows a wonderful in- crense over thit of the previous yeal the amount of increase being $2,191,092. Since 1887 the exports have incrensed from $79,050,783 to $120,198,520. In the last fiscal year there has been a marked incrense in the exports of cotton, corn, flour and cereals generally. When the opponents of the republican party have wished to make a point against the financial and commercial policy of the present administration they have aftvays called attention to those portions of the country which were lenst prosperous by way of prov- ing that a change is needed, and they have often pomnted to the south. To that section of tho country the people’s party has turned with high hopes, and it is there that it expects to establish its hold most firmly. Tho followers of Weaver have declared that they would overtop even the old bourbon democ- racy of the south, owing to the demands of the people there for reliof from the iron grip of hard times, But such figures as we have quoted do not afford any encouragement to those who hope to gain political power and es- tablish pew and strange systoms of finance upon the strengthof a d and discouraging condition of aff the south. On several occasions of late this paper has presented facts showing that the prosperity of the south is se- cure. Never since the deplorable de- vastation of war made the southern states poor have they been 80 prosper- ous as now. All that they need is to'be let alone. They are working out the problem of existence in their own way, and the, sound principles of business which ate doing 8o much for the north and the west will prove equaily advan- tazeous to the soutli; No portion of the country is less in need of treatment from financial quacks and adventurers, FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO. Four Lundred yeurs ago today Colum- bus sailed from the Spanish port of Palos on the momentous voyage of dis- covery which, together with his subse- quent voyagas, forever linked his name with that of the new world. Today, the unniversary of his doparture from Palos will be celebrated by the Spanish people in a fitting way. There will be a naval parade, in which the warships of other nations will take part, and ves- sels constructed upon the model of the Pinta, the Nina and the Santa Maria will pass through the lines formed by the various squadrons outside the bar at Palos. ; Nothing could - more appropriately commemorate the great. deeds of the Genoese navigator than a naval display, and it is peculiarly fitting that the series of Columbian celebrations whic| the world is now to witness should be in- augurated at the spot where the bold mariner first set sa1l for unknown lands. If he could himself have chosen how the world should acknowledge its indebt- edness to him he would have wished that it should recognize him nsa sen- man, for it was of his seamanship that he was proud. Tha science of naviga- tion was broad enovgh to comprehend all that he knew or conjectured, and he was simply a navigator in the highest sense. It is true that he was a rave philosopher, but that was only a part of his superb equipment forthe calling which he loved. Many conceive Colum- bus to have been a seer, a man supernat- urally wise,and the glumor of romance which surrounds his fame makes him seem to have been something more than a man. But he was only u sailor. Writing to the king of Castile in 1501 he said: *In my young years I wasa sailor, and I have coptinued to follow the sea to this day; it is the art which they should pursue who wish to know the secrets of this world,” Hence it is very appropriate that in celebrating the deeds of Columbus the sea und its ships should be made use of as much as possible, The wonderful contrast between the ships of Columbus and those of our time will be a striking and instructive feature of the naval dis- play at Palos. ‘It isa happy idea to Fave the famous old vessels represented in the parade, — I 18 expected - that the present ses- sion of congress will come toan end without any action upon the pure food bill. The influences that have been exerted in behalf of the measure have come mainly from the farmers of the north, those of the southern states having taken the opposite side or ro- mained silent, owing to their objection to the applicatiun of severe tests to cot- tonseed oil, while they have only a slight interest in other vrovisions of the bill. Any reasonable measure designed 10 protect the people from impure food ought to be fuvored by all elusses with- out regurd to the intorests of any section. — THERE is not a well informed politi- cian in the country who does not know that the democrats bave no chunce of success in this campaign unless they can the senaite of the ' | of tho democrggy jn New York united it carry New York.

AUGUST 4, 1892 T 1S DECID:DLY MIXED Demooratio Friends of the Fair Surrender to the Filibusters. RIGHTS OF THE MAJORITY IGNORED Halfof the Appropristion Agreed to, But Even That May Be Defeated Later ~Proparing to Entertain £ the Veterans, 518 FoUnTERNTH STRERT, Wasuixaros, D, C, Aug. The democratic friends of the World's fair bill surrendered to the Hlibusters this after- noon. They gave up their advantage in con- sideration of the offer of a chanceto vote for one-half the appropriation, and even if the house should agreo to give them this they have no cortainty of getting it. They have made a complete surrender of tue rights of the majority.. All of this has boen dono by the democrats in caucus, The republicans have stood aside ana lot them fight the mat- ter out for themselves. ‘I'ney have refused to help the democrats to do any other business until the pending ques- tion is disposed. The proposition was made in the committen on rules this morning vy the twodemocratic members prasent, but Mr. Reed put down bis foot and objected to any rules for the consideration of otber matter until tho pending question was out of the way, The democrats were not willing to g in a rule to permit the house to vote on the pending question, and as the committoe, in the absence of Mr. Catchings, was & to nothing was done. - Nothing was done in the house either except to fillibustor until 1 o'clock, when an adjournment was had to eive the demoorats a chance to hold their caucus. Against the protest ot Director General Davis and the objection of Mr. Dur- borow of Illinois. the conferenco committee had agreed to report a compromise proposi- tion, 8nd it was submitted to the caucus later. Result of the Caucus, Wasmyarox Bureiv or Tne Bu} The basts of the caucus agreoment is: The house to vote down the Bingham motion snd reconsider its action on the sundry civil bill; tho senate §5,000,000 World’s fair amendment 10 be disagreed to and the bill sent back to the conforeuce, the nouse insisting that this item should be eliminated from the sundry civil bill; the Durborow World's fair biil to be taken up apa on Saturday to be votod on, the amount carried by the bill. however, to ve reduced from £5,000,000 to $2,500,000 and made a direct gilt. 1t Was Unanimous. Tne adoption of tho report was unani- mous, no negative votes being cast. At loast half-a-dozen members, however, wero not 1n the caucus, and refused to be bound by it. ‘Ihree of these are Messrs. Kilgore, Boiley and Aunthony ot Texas, Messrs, McGann and Durborow also refused to romain in the caucus. Those present insist that the sentiment in favor of the resolution was so overwhelmiog that a fili- baster agaiust it will be unable to do any- thing. Mr. MoGann says that ho does not bolieve that the peoplo who carried the reso- lution can deliver the goods and he proposes to wait and see them pass the Durborow bill first. He is of the opinion that tilibuster- ing will take place on the Durborow bill the same as on the sundry civil bill. The caucus took ®otion with respect to bringing in a rule forsing the urborow bill on its passage, and the question must yet arise if Mr. Kilgore and others continue fillbustering whether or nota cloture rule shall be brought in to put an end to it. It is expected, 1n view of the general sentiment of the house in favor of a termivation of the dendlock. thav such u rule will be reportod if necessary. . It is_Lpcldedly Mixed. The position in which the caucus’ action leaves the World's fair proposition is de- cidedly mixed. Mr. Kilgore and his Texas friends have said that they will stay here and fight any appropriatien all summer, 1If they cun muster strength enough they can prevent the passage of the Durborow bill. It is very likely that the Durborow bilt can pass the house, though many of the friends of the World’s fair say that some of the enemies of the appropriation have prom- ised to vote for the compromise. ln the meantime the sundry civil bill haviug gone back into conference with an agreement on all theitems except this one, it is altogether likely that the senate will recede from this amendment and send the bill to the presi- dent, Oue of the members of the senato appro- priation committeo snid this afternoon that if the house insisted on its agreement to the World’s fair amendment the senate would havo to recedo, and he seid further that the senate would not wait for a separate bill on the fair to come over. It would be impossi- ble to get a quorum, he said, ofter the pas- sage of the sundry civil bill. Even if the compromise bill can pass the house, there- fore, 1t is not likely that the sundry civil bill can be held up long enough to give 1t o chance for consideration, The member of the appropriation committee ventured the opin- ion that the senate wonld never pass a sep- arate bill for the World's fair. The repub- licans will not filibaster agaiust ' the caucus agreement. 1f the democratic friends of the bill stand by the caucus action (and they seem too weak-kneed 1o oppose it), the World’s fair appropristion will have' boen killed by democratic votes after democratic filibustering has_prevented tho house carry- ing ouv the will of the majority. To Care for the Veterans, The commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia 10 making preparations 1o preserve the peace of the enormous crowd which will be here in attendance on the Graud Army encampment next month. An item in the sundry cwil bill now hung up in the house provides for an appropriation of §),51 to pay the expenses of the special force which will be needed. The recommendation for this approprintion is based on the expenses of the special force on duty at¢he time of the inauguration of President Harrison.
