Average Clrculation for June 25,802 ————————————————— WE eongratulate you on the depressed condition of the mercury. NEBRASKA “will keep in the middle of the rond” republican this year, as it has done in every presidential year. THERE are occasionally signs of activity ns well as activity of signs in the city hall. —eee Tug Shriners will be able to find placos to eat and sleep in Omaha and this is more than they all received in Denver. WE ARE pained to observe that the democrats have not yet referred the Tron Hall swindles to the operations of the McKinley bill. OMAHA is now braced up and prepared to receive the Mystic Shriners with all the deferenco due their exalted rank and genial personalities. WE presume Omaha democrats who are willing to swear that the sugar bounty is unconstitutional will not op- pose the bounty to the new tobacco factory. AProros of the McKinley speech price lio we wish to euggest that the editors and reporters of the World-Herald get some one to introduce them to each other. WE ARE informed that work has begun on the Hennepin canal. And they will be -telling our grent-grand- children the same thing in years to come. wme—-THE notification committee has just informed Rev. Cranfill of his nomination 88 vige president on the prohibition ticket when all the rest of the world Lad forgotten it. Tue Semeriton tin plate works have been estublished at Brooklyn and are among the largest in the world. They will probably be good Samaritans in this campaign for republicanism and protec- tion, AS AN illustration of the *‘starvation wages” of the protected industries, sta- tistics show that the average earnings of bar rollers in the Pittsburg iron and stepl mills is from $10 to $15.25 for twelve hours. THE projected removal of the city library into 1ts new quarters in the city hallis a sensible and economical act, even though it will be only eighteen months until the library building will be completed. Tuis is the day Brother Gladstone and Queen Victorin have their affection- nte interview on the Isle of Wight. The queen will not waste many moments in telling Mr. Gladstone in what high re- gard she holds him. THE union depot project has taken a vacation until September. The rail- road mugnutes are ull conveniently ab- sent or missing and we are obliged to submit to the existing inconveniences lor this season at least. ——— TuE winning qualities of the candi- llacy of Lorenzo Crounse are becoming more apparent every day. There is nothing which will intevfere with the success of the ticket this year, either in platform or candidates. L the tobaceo fuctory lead the way to others. Omuha has enough whole- sale and retail establishments. Now, what we want for a solid and surer growth is factory building. And there 18 10 bettor place for factories anywhero than in Omaha. THE people’s party convention at Des Moines was in reality the rovival of the old greenbiuck party, The names of the delegates ure familiar as soreheunds and greenbackers of little influence, men who have boen the objects of ridicule in their communities for yeurs. It LOOKS very much like Tom Bow- man’s renomination by the ninth lowa democratic congressional conveution even though he has refused to be a candi date, There is no " disputing the strength of Bowman; it is not the strength of an able man, but of a cun- ning and dexterous politician, —_— PrEsipENT CABLE of the Rock Island railroad is quoted by & New York papor as saying: “From September 15, 1892, to September 15, 1803, western rail- roads will have more to do thun they have ever known in any past year of thelr histovy.” This is undoubtedly true, und when the railrond president said it ho was booming the stock ot his road in stuting wn abstract fact. The outlook for the western railrouds is decidadly wood, FRIENDLY TO THE OLD SOLDIER. The democratic party in its national platform professes to favor ‘‘just and liberal pensions for all disabled union soldiers, their widows and dependents.” To understand how much value is to be given to this profession it is necessary to examine the record of the democracy in congress regarding pensions, That record conclusively shows that the dem- ocratic party has been uniformly un- friendly to legislation for the benefit of the men who preseryed the union. There are sixty-one general pension acts which constitute the body of our present pension systom, and every ona of these bucame law by republican votes. It has been claimed chat the arrears act was a democratic measure, but the only ground for the claim is that the house of representutives wns then democratic. The truth of history is that that nct was introduced by a re- publican and received on its passage 116 republican votes, forty-eight democrats voting for it and sixty-one against it. The only votes in opposition to this mensure in either branch of congress were cast by democrats. The most im- portant of all the pension laws is the dependent and disabilivy act which be- came a law in 1890. A substantially similar mensure was vetood by P.esi- dent Cloveland. In order topass it in the Fifty-first congress a special order became nocessary, fixing n time certain when a vote should be taken. When the bill was voted on not a single re- publican vote was recorded in the neg- ative whilo there were seventy-ono democratic votes against it. On that ocension a republican member of the house from Towa declared that *‘when- over the old soldiers of the country asked for pension legislation it was to the vepublican party they confidently looked for ft.” It is an interesting fact that of the twenty-cight pension acts passed from1861 to 18° while the re- publicans had control of both houses of congress, only upon one was there a cull for the yeas and nays, aud that was intho senate. The democratic party came into control of the house of repre- sentatives in 1875, and thereafter yea- and-nay calls were frequent. But upon all these bills, except upon the one re- storing those who had been in the re bellion to the 1812 roll, which was a democratic measure, there was but one republican vote in the negative. In the case of private pension acts the unfriendliness of the democratic party to the union soldiers has been still more conspicuous. The numerous vetoes of such bills by President Cleveland was one of the remarkable featuresof his administration that the veterans will never forget. Two hundred and ninety- seven private pension bills were killed by Mr. Cleveland’s veto and nearly as many more wero withheld by him more than ten days and thus became laws without his approval. One thousand three hundred and sixty-seven pension hitls were sent to President Harrison by the republican Fifty-first congress, and not one failed to become a law for wanu of his signature. Another interesting fuct for the veterans is, that while tho Pifty-first congress at its fivst session passed 819 private pension bills the present congress pissed loss than one- fourth of that number, and most of these were rushed through in one even- ing at the close of the session, evidently for the purpose of trylng to make a decent pension record. This tardy manifestation of zeal on the part of the democrats in congress will not, however, fool the old soldiers. They will judge she democracy by its whole record in relation to their inter- oets, and this shows the party, in spite of its professions, to have been uni- formly unfriendly to the men whose patriotism and courage preserved the union. A FASHIONABLE NUISANCE. It may be very agreeable to dudes and dudines who ride on top of a stage coach to blow tin horns in & most ear-rasping fashion but people of ordinary powers of endurance find this porpetual tooting wo be a great nuisance. Some of these fashionable fools may imagine that their abominaole horn blowing recalls the old-time post chaise and duplicates the English coaching party and four-in-hand. It is nothing of tho sort. If any of our staging parties were to appear in any parl of England and carry on the way they do in Omaha they would be driven off the roadway. The old post conch had a bugle whose calls were like the huntor’ bugle note—not like a charivari rackot. The four-in-hand coaches that carry fashionable people between London and its suburbs have liveried footmen whose bugling is as sonorous and musi- cal as that of a cavalry bugler. There is as much difference between such bugling and the horrible amteur tin horn as theve i8 between the ringing of church chimes anc the ding dong of cow bells. ‘The tin horn idiocy ought to be abated as a nuisance. AMERICAN SHIPBUILDING, The nct of congress authorizing the transfer of the steamships City of Paris and City of New York from the English to the Amorican flag, conditional upon the Inman line, to which they bslong, huaving two or more steamships built in the United States, seems likely to have an important result in demonstrating that vessels of this kind can be built in this country equal in every w. if not superior, to the masterpicces of the Clyde builders, The Cramps, the Amervican ship- builders who have shown what they can do in the coustruction of war vessels, express the belief that they can build ships faster than any of those which now cross the ocean. No ships the size of the City of Paris or the City of New York have ever been built on this side of the ocean, but the Cramps say this is 1o reuson why big ships caunot be built in the United States that will be as fast or fuster than those of any of the g lines. Tho only advantage ‘that the forcign builders huve is in their ability to construct more cheanly, owing to the higher priceof lubor in this eountry, and this of course is a very important consideration, but everything required in the shipbuilding industry can be sup- plied here, there are designers equal in ability to any in the world, and with proper encouragement there can be no doubt that American shipbuilders will demonstrate that thay are as capable of constructing swift stcamships as the builders on the Clyde or elsewhere. The Inman line intend: building two or three steamships that will be largar and faster than the ships transferred to the Amorican flag, and this will give American builders the cl 10 to show what they can do. If they are as suc- cessful as thoy have heen in the con- struction of ships for the navy they will justify vhe claim of the Cramps that big ships can be built in the United States equal to uny in the world. The development of the shipbuilding industry of the country in this direction is very much to be desired, and while it may be regarded as certain of attain- ment some time in the future it is obvi- ously important that the needed encour- agement shall not be unnecessarily de- layed. The Fifty-first congress enacted legislation designed to promote this de- velopment, but the results have not been altogether satisfactory. The step taken by the present congress appears likely to be more beneficial. The ship- building interest of the country, taken as a whole, is now much more extensive than most people suppose, but it may be very materially enlarged o the great advantage of a number of otaer inter- ests, —_— THE RURAL SCHOOLS. The Douglas County Teachers insti- tute is now in session and institutes are also being held in other counties of this swate. It is n matter of pride totheciti- zens of Nebraska thav this compara- tively young commonwsoalth is making rapid advancement in education und that its percentage of filiteracy is smaller than that of any other state in the union; but there 18 yet much to be done in the direction of improvement, particutarly in the rural districts. Rural schools everywhere labor under disadvantages resulting from vavious familiar causes, chief of which is the lack of sufficient funds for the erection and equipment of good sehool builaings and the payment of adequato salaries to teachers. The obstacles in the path of educational pro- gress in agricultural communities will bo gradually overcome as the wealth of the people increases and their appreci tion of the needs of their children be- comes more clear. It hasoften been snid that the farmor’s boy, if given an equal chance, will infallibly outstrip his city cousin in che attainment of lLife’s prizes and honors; but whether this is truo or not ho is the equal of the city boy ut every point, and therefore it is the greater pity that his school advan- tages are often so illsuited to his need The improvement of the countr, schools depends to some extent upon the efforts of teachers in that direction, and they can hardly find a more fruitful topic for discussion, or one that more closely concerns the general public wel- fare. We have snid thut the rural schools will be improved as the ability and willingness of the people to support them increase; but the influences which the teachers may bring to bear by stim- ulating the popllar appreciation of the neods which they are so weil able to point out will not be wasted, and per- haps they may bear fruit sooner than they now dare to hope. The future of Nobraska depends in+no small degree upon tle educational advantages af- forde@to her rural sons and” daughters. OW 1T WOR 4 The World-Herald gleafully refer “another strike of tariff-protected work- ingmen” as follows: I'rom Lonisville, Ky., comes the news that 200 men employed at the Avery plow factory nave struck because of a reduction of thoir wages. This adds another to tho many strikes which have occurred since the pas- sage of the McKinley bill in industries pro- tected by the tariff taxes which that iaw levies upon the people. It is the policy of the free trade press to magnify all differences hetween work- ingmen and emoloyors in this country and to ascribe them divectly to the Me- Kinley law. leiving their readers to infer that free trade would inaugurate \ period of harmony and put an end to strikes forever. Lot us inauire into the facts. During the ten years from IS80 to 1899, inclu- sive, the smallest number of strikes in this country in any single year was in 1884, when they aggregated 443, involv- ing 147,054 persons, and the great number was in 1886, when there were 1,411 strikes, involving 499,489 persons. Suatistics are not at hund showing how many strikes have occurred in this country since the McKinley law went into effect, but how do the above figures compare with the strike record of free trade Great Britain? In that paradise of free traders 3,164 strikes occurred in 1889, In 1890, according to the report of the British Board of Trade, the num- ber of strikes officially reported in that conntry was 1,025, and in 738 of these 892,081 persons were involved. This shows that the number of strikes was much greater in Great Britain in 1890 than in this country, and according to Senator Aldrich, whose statements ure not disputed, the number of persons in- volved was more than three times as great in proportion to the number en- gaged in useful occupations in the two countries respectivel In the recent strike in the English mining aistrict of Durham 100.00) coal- miners went out and remained idle from March 12 to June 1, when they accepted a reduction of 10 per cent in wages, This strike also involved the shutting down of 100 blast furnaces in addition to the suspension of mining operations. These facts completely disarm the critics of protection and prove conclu- sively that treo trade Is not a thing to be desired ty the American working= man, e COMMENTING on the New York Sun’s remark that there are no orators outside of New York, the Advertiser cites Congressman J.

About 15,000 men were idle for three months on account of this strike and no less than 125 buildings, many of them great ones, were nbandoned by the workmen employed in their construction. There was no question of wages or hours of labor. The strike was ordered because one of the architectural iron companies employed nonunion men, and as usunl it was extended to embrace all the unions having anything to do with building. The loss of .tha strikers is estimated as high as $1,000,000, exclusive of thelarge benelite paid from the treasuries of some of the unions. Hadghe men been con- tending for better wages or fewer hours of labor their chance of success would have been better; and in that case they would have been told by the free trade prees of the country that the republican protective policy was to blame. Tue Builders and Traders exchange sots an example of attention to business which other organizations intended to promote public interests might very well emulate. At the last meeting of the exchango the principal subject of discussion was irresponsible contractors, and a general desire was manifested to find a means of suppyessing them. It is to he hoped the matter will not be dis- missed with this discussion, but will be steadily pursued until an effective way be found to shut out the ‘‘snide” con- tractors. They constitute a class of rogues who rob both capital and labor. NuXT to the smoke nuisance our muni; authorities will have to grap- ple with the garbage problem. Hauling all our garbage to the dump on the banks of the Missouri river cannot be continued very much longer. It is even & question whethor in case of an epi- demic such as cholera it would become asource of danger, not only to our own people, but to the river towns below Omaha. Sooner or later we must either cremate our garbage or disinfect and utilize it by chemical process. THE BEE reiterates that Governor MeKinley did not refeive #350 or any other sum for any of his speeches either in Nebraska or Iowa. The facts are fully set forth and corroborated by the managers of the Beatrice Chautauqua, the Council Biuffs Chautauqua and the chairman of the Omaha finance commit- tee. The charge that Governor McKin- ley made the assertion that *‘the con- sumer pays the'tax” is too siily to need attention. Nobody has ever suspected Governor McKinley of being a fool, — Tne most pitlable 'spectacle of the present day is the able and erudite Wil- liam C. Whitney ng to manage the democratic compa th the soggy Grover and the flat Stevenson as the candidates, a leaky, free trade platform, a committee of incompetents and a fac- tionul fight in New York much more bitter vhen that of democrats and repub- licans. OMAHA'S jobbing business for the second week in August shows a quite satisfactory increase—39.2 per cent in banic clearings over the second week of August last yoar, OTHER LANDS THA The debata on the queen’s speech showed that botn the Paruellite and anti-Parnellite members of the House of Commous expected and demanded that home rule should not be subordinated or postponed to any other issue whatsoever, In this we are bound to say that they were right. The campaign was fought on the issuo of home rule, and, though the result of it may not b described as a “blank check” to Mr. Gladstone's order, iu was @ vote of confidence that he could pro- ducea satisfactory bill. 1f ho cannot pro- duce a bill that will satsfy, his supporters, then bome rule, for the vresent, is defeated and Mr. Gladstone ought pot to be in ofice. A very favoravle sign for him is the agreement of the Welsn members that home rule should b put first in the parliamentary program, provided Welsh disestablishment is put second. It must be remembered that the sentiment of Wales is as zealous and sound a Protestant. ism as provails in auy part of the United Kingdom. A declaration in favor of home rule by theWelsh members means an acquies- cence in the spending by Irish *‘papists” of thei own money upon Catholic institu- tions, as well as an aversion 10 the spending of the money of Wolsh Protestants on Angli- can institutions. Discstablishment in Wales stands, in fact, upon tho same footing with home rule in Ireland. A liko degree of toler woce oun the part of Eoglish and Scotch Protestants will secure the passago of a home rule bl s 1t will be a curiquy freak of fate indeed if Chancellor Capriviy who supplanted Bis- marck in the confidénce of the German em- peror, were to meet precisely the same fate which befell s nrgdecessor and were to find himself ousted in wday from all his power; and yet iv is quitg possible that the near future may bave.aw store for history just such aon outcome, ~ Certainly sigos are uot wanting toshpw that the fickle young kaiser may soom“blowr cold where he has for some time past blown with such kindly warmth, fand that Chanceller von Caprivi may*give way in turn o some other suppliaut for royal confidence. When the Dresgul emperor of Germany came to his thrppe it was generally ox- pected that Bismapck would be stronger than ever. Iuwps to tke wily old chancel- lor's influence thay, the almost open quarral botween the ill-fated F'rederick and his son was attributed, and when tho short-lived om- peror died it was thought that young Wil- helm should be werely a puppat in the hands of tho iron-willed’old diplomat. Yet but a few mouths had vassed before Bismarck’'s dowafull startled Europe, and Caprivl came to power. It may sull bo questioned whether the (ierman emperor won or lost in prestige and realm by his treatment of tho old chaucellor, but if be were to remove. Caprivi in turn his reputation as a wise ruler would probably suffer. A difect and straightforward auswer has been made by the president of the Swiss coufederation to the repeated attempls dur- ing the lust few years to induce the little ro- public to joln the tripe alliauce. Sposkiug influence outside of his own | | no factionul fights | publican party in Neoraska enters this cam- triennial federal shooting meeting, held at Glaris, Prosident Hauser declared in the most explicit terms that tho Swiss are firmly resolved to fultil their duties and responsi- bilities as a neutral state. “We shall re- Joct,” he continued, “‘ull proposals of alliance from whatover quarter they may come. It is not in vain that wo have spent millions in fortifying the San Gothard passes and in equipping our army with a quick-firing rifle of small caliber. For wo have thus shown our strong desire to defend our neutrality and our intention to resist by force of arms all attompts to violato it, no matter from what side the attempts may o3 made.” Theso patriotio words have been endorsed by the press of every shade of political opinion throughout the tength and braadth of Switzerland. They possess a mors than or- dinary significance just at tho present mo- ment, when so much activity of a military charactor is apparent on the Alpine frontior ot ltaly. Thore is a feeling, both in Franco and in Switzerland, that all this activity bodes no zood for peace, ospecially whon it is considered that the Itallan goverament is in the wmost straitonod circumstancoes, and that the last ministerial orisis turned upon the disproportion between the military ex- penditure and the narrow resources of tho national treasury, The restlessness which provails among the people of Europe shows no signs of abate- ment. The latest report is that a conference of aelegates roprosenting (zachs, Croatians and other nationalities outside of Germans and Hungarians under the Austrian domin- ion is to be beld in Vienna in November to prepare a potition to the powers of Burope in favor of a general federation ot the natlon- anities that owe allegiancs to the Austrian emperor, For years there has beon o disor- ganizing spirit at work in Austria-Hungary, and the government has been compelled to adopt a policy of compromiso which was de- seribed by Count Taafe as “rubbing along.” The great straggle has always been between Germanism and Slavism, Bohemia being the chief battle ground. The young Czech party, which has grown with great rapidity, has persistently demanded the restoration of the kingdom of Bohemia by the coronation of the omperor at Prague and the proclamation of an independent constitution, like that of Hungary, under which the German language could be suppressed; while the young Ger- maus have yearned for incorporation with the Fatherland. In tbe Moroceo question England has com- meroial and strategic interests at stake. What slender nistorical claim she has to as- cendancy in Morocco is based uvon her former possession of Tangier, which was ceded by the Portugueso to Engzland on the marriage of Katharine ot Braganza to Charles II. Tue fact that she did not think the town worth keeping when she had it left her with- out any titlo valid in international law. But the English are doubtless right in thinking that if foreignors were allowed to acquire real estate and to work mines in Morocco, and if the existing obstruc- tions to foreign trade were re- moved, they would reap the lion’s share of tue profits derivable from such opportuni- ties. They are also well aware that if an- other Evropean power were firmly planted on the Africaa side of the straic the advan- tage which they draw from the possession of sibraltar would be in a large measure mneu- tralized. Sooner than permit such an cut- come of the Morocco quesiion, they would seei to prop up the tottering power of the present sultan. But if the disruption and partition of the country ave unavoidable, as they seem to be, England will unquestion- ably fight rather than relinquish her claim to Tangier and the adjoining district tor her share of the sultan’s dominions. ————— Another A GUib Canada has backed down.

He has filled various offices of trust with credit to himself, honor to his party and sat- isfaction to the state, and as governor will make an exccutive that the state will bo proud of. Tho remainder of the tickot wns Jjudiciously selected, unites all factions of tho party and will be triumphantly elected on the Sih of November. Beatrice Times: Judge Crounso. the nom- inee for governor, has boen a resident of the state for thirty years and has been couspicu- ous in public’ lifea greater portion of the time. Ho has always been in line with the anti-monopoly sentiment of the party and in every instance charaoterized a man of great ability and undoubted honesty. The repub- licans enter the campaign under favorable circumstances, and with a united and per- sistent effort there can be no question that the stato will roll up her old-time republican majority. Blair Pilot: The nomination of Judge Crounse for governor carries with it to overy nook and corner of Nebraska, confi- dence and exultation, and this feoling oxtonds to the wholo ticket. At no time previous in the history of this stato has there been such general and unanimous ex- pressions of partisan approval of the work of a republican convention as in the prosent instance, These oxpressions of approyal aro not confined to those who usually vote the republican ticket. With no dissenting voice in their own party republican enthusiasm 18 encournged by favorable expressions from alt shades of political thingers. All concedo thestrength of the ticket and the wisdom of its seloction, but more particularly does Washington county feel gratified, and her citizans may be pardoned for exmbiting a little extra enthusiusm based on local pride. Lincoln Nows: Never before has there beon a ticket presented to the people of Ne- braska that has possessoed sv many elements of strength as the ticket nominated by the republican party in thiseity last Friday., In the first pioce, although thero were sharp contests, no bitterness remains after the con- veation, and there will bo a harmonious un fication of all genuine republican interest: Judgo Crounse, as has been pointed out by the News, has an anti-monopoly record -that will commend him to the independents, es- pecially those who, aisgusted by the utter hopelessness of accowplishing anything by the eofforts of their party, are Low manifesting a dispositio act ra- tionally and come into the republican party. Then his army record is creditablo in the extreme., He Los the confidence of the busiuess men of Omaba, irrespective of poliuies. Thers are no elements that will be antagonized by his candidacy, aud there arve circumstanc that insure a cousiderable Jemocratic vote for the republican nominee, ————— CLEVER AND CA ork Sun: Don't Imagine yourcharmer isn't w thinking 2irl just beciuse she doosn't think unything of you, Muny & mun I8 réady to do what he can for t00. the house. der Our store olosos at 6:50 p. m. dirys, when we close at 10 p. m.

Mrs, Seeloy was a glib talker, and added to her accom- plishments in soliciting for charitable ob- jects and purposes. Coming to Chicago, she immediately stepped into the front ranks of charity, and was soon securing funds for several charitable institutions. But this money did not arrive at its destination, and Mrs. Seeley was arrasted forobtaining money under false pretenses and sending children in tho street to beg. Squirming out of this trouble, Mrs. Seoley took in Omaha last fall. She ingratiated herself in the confidence of several charitablo ladies of Omaba, and not until too late was she exposed. Nothing daunted, sho went to St. Louis, then back to Chicago, where she secured possession of a finely furnished house, and refuses to give it up. mes She Played In Bur E Cuicaco, 1L, Aug. 12—[Spacial Telegram to I'ne Bee, | ~Nothing has been heard of James Burke sinco he broke jail at Hyde Park yesterday, although the horse and buggy be borrowed for the occasion wero found in Englewood late in the afternoon.
