How can St. Louls expect to get ahead of Chicago when its inhabitants continue suiciding at the rate of five per day? Ir Tne visiting sheiks expect to see this city in their historical manner of traveling in two days the camels will have to get humps on themselves. WE UNDERSTAND that Roger Quarles Mills will not do much northern cam- paigning this year, even though it is just his (freo trade) kind of campaign. SiLveR touched 823 cents per ounce last week, which is tho lowest price that it has ever sold for, The ablest finan- ciers predict that it has touched bottom and now will begin toriso. Tur growth of South Omaha goes on steadily. During the past week thir- teen building permits were issued in the Magio City, and the boom resulting from the extension of the packing busi- ness has not commenced yet. IS 1T necessary to go out of the state of Nebraska for paving brick? It ap- pears that many of the vitrified brick 1aid on the streets of Omaha are brought from Missouri. Heme industries should be patronized as far as possible. — A DEMOCRATIC Towa editor about a yenr ago aunounced that he had a billy goat which was ready to cat all the tin plate made in the United States. We presume the offer has been withdrawn or the animal has died from indiges- tion, TRE New York democratic papers are just now busily enguged in carrying Jowa, Wisconsin and other westorn states for Cleveland. Their energies will be wasted, for theirald is not suffic- fent to stem the tide of republicanism which is steadily rising in thess states, Now that the astronomers have fin- ished tho preliminary survey of the planet Mars, it will be 1n order for some ingenius American to project a self-pro- velling balloon line between the two planets with a nonforfeitable accident ineurance policy for ecach passenger thrown in. Tue friends of Governor Boyd are be- giuning to mustor their forces for the coming primaries, and it now looks very much as if the governor was not indis- posod to stand for re-election oven in the face of inevitable defeat. This on the principlo that a dead lion is bettor than no lion at all, THEODORE ROOSEVE the brainy New York member of the Civii Service commission, has an extended and ad- mirable roview of the foreign policy of President Harrison’s administration in the Independent, which shows that he is not a mugwump by any means and is happy to endorse such a courageousand wise administration. F—— Tue BEE has frequently shown that more economy might be exercised by the Board of Education. THE SUNDAY BEE contained an exhibit of facts and figures that make it plain to everybody that Omaha is very liberal if notextrava- gant in salaries paid for janitor seryice. It scems to us the board should classify the janitors und readjust their pay to correspond with their responsibilities and duties. —— THe postmustor general has decided that mail carriers neced not collect the papers loft on the top of the mail boxes. This ie perhaps o griovous load at times for the carriers, yet in a city like Omaha, so vory much scattered, the outlying districts are so far nway that it would be n hardship to make peoplo carry all their packages to the post- office. We hope the order will not be enforced here. now Tug demands made upon the hotel accowmodations of Omaha on ac- count of the visit of the Mystic Shriners emphasize the city’s neod of a large and surietly first cluss hotel, modern in eveory pariicalar and in keoping every way with the size and lwportance of this westorn metropolis. Accommoda- tions will be provided for vho visitors without dificulty, for this city has never failed to tuke good care of ull comers, but humunity hus » weakness for fivst class hoteis, and towns that have them are sure of making o pleasant and last- ing lmprossion upon their guests. AN EXTENSIVE CLAIM. The leadership of the people’s party may be divided into two classes Class [. Visionaries and ratule; reformers who sincerely believe in the doctrines sot forth in the crazy-quilt platform adopted at Omaha on the Foucth of July Class 11. Demagogues, mountebanks and impostors, whose sole aim and pur pose is to ride into power and place on the tidal wave of popular discontent. General Ijeld, vice presidential can didate on the people’s party ticket, e dently belongs to class I. According to Assovinted Press dispatches the general is very enthusiastic and confidently ex- pects to be elocted. He claims that his party will break up the solid north and solid south, the solid Grand Army of the Republic and the solid negro vote. As a busis for the faith that is within him, General eld declared that “the new party will carry every state wost of the Missouri viver — Colorado, Nebraska, Kansue, Novada, Wyoming, Washing- ton, California, Montana and North and South Dukota. Then they will v one-third of the electoral vote of Michi- gan, and in the south Georgin, Ala- bama, Texas, Northand South Carolina, and probably Tennessee and Arkansas.” With ulmost childlike candor Gen- Field looks hopefully to Towa, because’ General Weaver hails from that state, Now, let us see what chance the peo- ple’s party really has to elect its presi- dential eandidates, Suppose we concede to General ield all he claims and we have the following vesult: rained Votes. Alabama T Arkansas i) California e Colorado, 4 Jeorgia. 13 Idatio 3 Kansas, 10 Michigan 5 Montana feeh) Nebrask 8 Nevada ...... o North Carolina AL North Dakota. . 3 South Caroling South Datota, Tennessee Texas. Washington . Wyoming. . ssary to a choice Innsmuch ns the people’s purty only polled 12,000 out of over 400,000 votes at the last election in Towa, 1o sune person would clnim that Weaver could ¢ that state in 1892, Instead of custing 137 votes in the next electoral coliege it is exceedingly doubtful whether the new party will cast thirty-seven votes. They cannot possibly carry California, Washington, Montana, North Dukota, Idaho, Wyoming, Texas, Tennesses or Georgin, and their chances of carrying Kansas, South Dakota, Ne- braska or the two Carolinas are very slim indeed. But suppose chey did carry all the states that General Field predicts they will carry, what would they accomplish? Nothing more nor less than the election of Grover Cleve- land. Failing to carry o majority of the electoral college they would throw the election of president into the house of representatives and the vice president would be elected by the sengte. In that event the members of the present house would vote by states, each state casting one vote, und the candidate receiving twenty-three votes would become presidont. Divided by states the complexion of the house would be fourteen states republican and thirty democratic and people’s party. At the very utmost only three of those thiroy states could be counted on to vote for Weaver. Inother words, the demo- crats ave dead sure of & majority of the states if ever the election is thrown into the house, and no possible combination between the alliance members and re- publicans could prevent the election of Grover Cleveland. 1f General Field and his deluded fol- lowers roally expect anything else they are on the verge of insanity. The talk of breaking up the solid north and the solid south and the Grand Army of the Republic is the sheerest nonsense. The north has never been solid, the soutn has never ceased to be confed.-demo. cratic in national campaign years, and the Grand Army of the Republic cannot be disbanded so long nsuny considerable number of veterans who fought to save the union shail survive, ALL ABO 1A ROBBERY, A few days ango the Anglomaniac, bet- ter known as the Omuhan World- Herald, charged that Governor M¢Kinley while in Nebraska received #3530 for every speech he made. After circulating that baseless charge all overthe country by the democratic United Press association the World-IHeruld has been forced to re- tract the charge. But the campaign lie is now fairly upon wheels and will con- tinue to revolve through ull the free trade sheetsof the country and be turned over us a sweet morsel by the Grover Cleveland worshipers of England, The brazen fake about Governor Me- Kinloy's venality is followed up by an equally barefuced assertion that the MeKinley tariff as appliod to sugar im- ports and*sugar bounties is downright robbery. This assertion is made in the following language: The protec.ed sugar trust will collect from the peoplo this year its protection of 1§ cent per pound on 8,600,000 pounds of sugar, or 18,000,000, w0 pay the ‘*difference in wages.” Tho total wages it pays is under 14 cents per 100 pounds, or §,040,000, leaving $12,960,000, which 1t steals from tho monoy collected to pay its workmen the “difference i wages.” It gots its labor free of cost, This statoment bears the stamp of falschood and ignorance on its very face, 1f iv were true that the sugur truss is to recoive hu'f u cent & pound bounty on 8,600,000 pounds of sugar, the total bounty would only be $1,800,000, and not $18,000,000. As a matter of fact the total sugar bounty durlog the tiseal yoar aggrogates only 7,380,044, and of this sum $0,870,806—o0r more than six- sevenths—went Lo the sugar planters of Louisiuna. The remainder was paid as # bonus to the capitalists wno huve en- deunvored to establish the sugar boet in- dustry in California, Nebraska and South Dukota. Wherein does this policy of stimulating sugar industry constitute & robbery of the peopls, and wherein can any opponent of this policy justify the charge that it 1ohs the worl for the benefit of the capitalist? Instoad of increasing the burdens of the Americin people the section of the McKinley tariff reliting to sugar has lifted a hewvy buden from their shoul- ders by cheapening the price of sugar, Up to within two years the tax on sugar amounted to noaly $1 a yoar for ev man, woman and chila in the Uni States. The MeKinloy bill placed sugar | on the frec list and rxducsd the price from 6 cents to 4 conts a pound to the | consumer. A bounty of 2 conts a pound | Hhowever, votod by congress to the | planters and beet sugar manufac- gman I tion to any 18sak American? Tho fact | that the own ¥ bf the Anderson mill had only invested #) 00 all in all shows that ! it had littls or ay, finaneial backing, and therefora its failure from a lack of funds does not provaghat other tin plate mills are doomed to geinto thesherifl’s hands, Our free tradeseontemporary goes ther, however, ifid seeks to belittle and ridicule Ameriédn tin plate making by suggesting that the N. & G. Tayior Co. | of Philadelphin should get that famous naw factory in operation before the tar- iff is repealed.This is decidedly ironic. It so haopens, holever, that the Omaha : free trade gun is spiked by the Philadel- turers as an encouragement to an indus- | phia Rec.rd of the 19th inst., which con- try that will in due time supply the | taias, under the head of “*Twenty Thou- American demand and keep at home | sand Tons of Iron,” the statement that from $50,000,000 to 360,000.000 a year. which wo now pay for sugar imported from foreign countries. Without the sugar bounty it would be impossible for any sugar plantor or baet sugar maker to meet the foreign competition. Ger- many, I'rance and Austria piy a bounty of nearly 2cents a pound to their re- vefinors for all the sugar they export, and this bounty, together with the cheapor Buropean labor, would be an effectual bar against Amorican sugar vroduction at 4 ceats a pound. The sugar hounty is not parpetual, howevee, Under the McKinley bill it will expire by the your 1893, It is an everlasting disgrace to jour- nulism that any paper should stoov to such impudent misrepresentation as has been resorted to by our contemporary for the sake of making political capital, and it is a sud commentary upon the in- telligence of our people that any person or paper would dare to impose upon their credulity with such baseless statements. ORO. ND TRADE. Tha weekly trade roview of R. G. Dun & Co. is no less gratifying this week than last. When it is stated that crop reports are not quite up to expectutions it must bo remembered that expecta- tions have been very high and that re- cent reports of an unsatisfactory chavac- ter, applying tos comparatively limited area, may have been given more consid- cration than they deserved in making up the averages for the whole country. For example, it was announced only a few days ago upon what apeared to be excellent authority that the Kansas corn crop was almost a failure, and the report immediately produced an effect upon the market in New York, but it is now claimed that corn is doing very well in . wnd that the report referred to was designed to influence speculation on the exchanges. Probably the truth is that both the wheat and corn rumors are to some extent designed to in fluence the market. It has:been said that there was a falling off of 30,000,000 bushels in the wheat product of Minnesota and the two Dakotas, but it is now reported that the crop in those states is good. The business situation is excellent throughout the country. Manufacturers are unusually busy and there is groat activity in all lines of trade, In Omaha trade Is reported very heavy and coilec- tions never better, and prosperity pre- vails in all the western cities. The featuro of the maricet that chie fly interests the farmers of Nebraska is the advance of 2 cents in corn during the past week. This is a healthy sign, not- withstanding that the advance was pro- “duced in part by the report from Kansas ubove referred to. It shows that the tendency of the market is upward at present and that a large demand for corn is anticipated. 4 GOOD MPLE. It is safe to say that no western city has a finer park system than that of Minneapolis. Omaha is now doing something in the way of public parks and is taking Minneapolis as an ex- ample; but the fact that we have em- ployed a landscape gardener from that city does not solve the park problem. The citizens of Omaha who own lands suitable for parks ave not disposed to donate them to the city as some of the property owners of Minneapolis have done. More than 850 acres of valuable Iand has been donated to the city of Minneapolis by citizens interested in es- tablishing a system of parks that will reflect credit upon the city, Minneap- olis owes nearly the whole of her park systom to tho generosity of her citizens, and the amount paid for the purchase of park proverty is vory small. Moreover, those who have given lund have also paid for the improvement of the prop- erty and have footed the bills for pave- ments, gutters, boulevards and side- walks on the approaches thereto. Of course, it will not be supposed that those citizens who gave lands for parks and paid for the improvement of their approaches were entirely disinterested. They may huve been actuated to some extent by local pride, but they knew that the parks would greatly enhance the value of their adjacent property. They huave already reaped a rich re- ward, and in the future they will be still further benefited. There is a chunce for wealthy land owners of Omuha to do something in the same direction. The power of the Board of Park Commissioners to purchase and {mprove lands for park purposes is lim- ited, and the process of building up a park system that will be creditable to the city will necessarily be slow. Own- ors of lands available for parks could do something for the good of the city and at the same time put money in their own pockets by emulating the example sot by cortain individuals in Minneapo- lis. Every park or tmproved boulevurd will certainly enhunce the value of ud- jucent propert, BELITTLING AMERICAN INDUSTRY. The Omaha World-Herald jubilates over the announcement that the Ander- son, Ind., tin plate works have becn closed by the sherift and the parties en- gaged 1n the enterprise have sunk $9,000, Why any American or any paper pub- lished in America should gloat over the failure of any American industrial enter- prise passes our comprehension, It only shows how depraved and unpatriotic some peoplo can be when their political prejudices get the hetter of their judg- went. Suppose that every one of the 190 odd concerns that ure now embarked in tin plate making in this country should be closed out by the sheriff; would that fact be a source of gratifica the Pottsville [ron company is now en- gaged in supplying material for the tin plate mill of N. & G. Taylor. The Phil- adelphia paper in-question is the rank- est free trado advoeate in Pennsylvania and hence good authority ns regards manufactures in Pennsylvania. It 1s not likely that the Taylor company would ba n heavy purchaser of rolled iron for its tin plate will it it did not manufacture tin plate on an extensive scale. The fact that a carload of tin plate from the Taylor mill was received in Omaha nearly a month ago would also warrant the assumption that tin plate making has bocome an American indus- try. It may not be profitable in the be- ginning, but that has been the experi- ence of nearly all American manufac turing enterprises. GROVER CLEVELAND has protested somewhat vigorously against the use of his wife’s namo by the political women who huve been forming ‘“influence clubs™ of a democratic complexion, but he doos not object to the sale of his wife’s photographs for campaign pur- poses. In fact, it is believéd that he is responsible for the eighteen sittings to which Mrs, Cleveland submitted in New York the other day. The photographer was authorized to sell the pictures, und they will soon be placed on the market. This is rather a disreputable kind of campaigning, but the public will not blame the lady in the case. She is in- fluenced by her husband. There can be no doubt that Mrs, Cleveland is much more popular than her husband, and perhaps the distribution of her photo- graphs may produce better results than the distribution of Mr. Cleveland’s let- ters, CARE have peen the especial ob- ject of the free traders’ admiration until ntly, when it is announced that in no time in fifty years have carpets been so low in price as now. So they have left off on carpats just as they did on steel rails and will on tin plate. ——— REPORTS from, the Fifth district indi- cate that McKerghan is not to have a walkaway this year.

Summary of Sunmer, New York Herald, Between family picnics, Sunday school pienics, social clrele picnics, political club picates, strikers’ benefit picnics and sena- torial investigation tour picnics no one can complain that this is a dull summer, —— Cheating the Gallows, Kansas City Star. The flerce indignation of the people of ‘Pennessce over the commutation of Colonel King's sentence is not a cause for special wonderment. To admit the expediency of capital punishment is to accept the conclu- sion that the action of Governor Huchanan was 8 gross violation of justico. The killing of Poston presented no palliating features. It was a case of deliberate homicide. The tragedy was precipitated by the murderer's wfidelity to his own family. The bloody deod was cloarly premeditated. It was bigh- way assassination, puro and simple. The death penalty 1s sanctioned by public senti- ment in Tennessee, and is authorized by the statutes, Considering the law and the ovi- dence 10 the case it 1s difiicult to see by what process of logic executive clemency opered up to Kiog an avenue of escape from the gallows. REPUBLIC. THE N TICKET, Neligh Advocate: Judge Crounse 1s a true anti-monopolist, whilo Van Wyck is a bogus one. All anti-monopolists should therefore vote for Mr. Crounse.

Avsley Chronicla: The nomination of Judze Torenzo Crounse of Washington county for govornor on the republican ticket 1s the strongost candidate that could possibly be selected, and victory undor his leadership is assured. Freo from corporation influ- ences, with a cloan publio and private rec- ord, he will bring b ok into the republican ranks hundreds of good, honost men Who have left tha party during the past three years under tho sirong pressuro of the inde- pendent movement.

Of tue entiro ticket it can bo said tho candidatas are clean men whoso personal and political records will bear inspection, and for whom no good man cun hesitato to cast his ballot, Fairmont Signal: Those of us who aro of the anti-monopoly olement of tho repablican party of Nebraska havo reason to feol os- pecially gratified with the action of the late state convention in the nomination of 1.orenzo Crotnse for tho office of governor. No man could have been selectod who so well repre- sents that large element of voters who not only beliove it the duty of the party to give to the people relief from corporate extortion and opprossion, but, further, that the party can and will doso, Lorenzo Crounse is the em- bodiment of this sentiment, and is thorefore in touch with what wo beliove to boa strong majority of the republican voters. He is ‘0 man of the strictest provity. His privato or oficial record has never been assailed. Nover has thero been a shadow cast upon either: nor can there be.

His voice has ever been with the people. BBut heedless of his warning and that of his no-believers the party acoopted loaders who have brought upon’ it serious criticism and loss. The nominatior. of Judge Crounse means that the anti-monopoly ele- ment in the party hus at last nsserted its strength and the muss of honest, intelligent voters have control of the ship.

They remember the slurs he cast upon many worthy applicants and that bis pension vetoes were endorsed by every southern brigadier 1n the house of reprosentatives, They also know that during his term Cleveland vetoed 524 pensions to union veter- ans, while President Harrison has vetood vory few, if any. The following information is reproduced from an authoritative source. It s full of in- terast: When the Fifty-first congress mot tho re- publicans addressed themselves at once to the redemption of their promise, approved by the people, to enlarge tho pension roll. They did this in an act which has afforded relicf to all honorably discharged soldiers and snilors whose sevvice continued for ninety aays and who are today in want because of any physical disability, whethor that disa- bility was contracted in the service or not. The theory of this law 1s that tha man, or the family of a man, who risked his life in battle in the defense of the union, 01ght not to bo allowed now in hisold age to suffer for tho nocessaries of life by reason of a physical inability to earn a” hving. Tho widows of all soldiors and sailors who who are today depondeut upon their — own lavor tor support are included in the provislons of this new re- publican law. Tt will add to the ponsion rolls us many as 300,000 names, and 1t will dovots to tho relief of that number of pensioners about §35,000,000. This act complotes the record of republican legislation in payment of tho nation’s highest debt of honor. IProm this time forward two dollars ott of every five collectod by the government will be devoted to the care and relief of nnion voterans and their dependent families, Our ponsion system as it now exists was built up botween tke years 1862 and 180). Sixteen great acts bave been passed, includ- ing the ons just mentioned. Kvery oneof them was a republican measure. Byery law, overy section, every line, word and syllablo relating to pensions 1u tho revised siatutes of 1574 were enacted by republican con gresses and approvea by republican prosi- dents. Siuce that timo and uatil the pas- sago of the dependent pension bill in the last cougress, only. ten measures havo been enacted, ' Tho first was a law affecting only bout 800 claimants, allowing separate von- ous for the loss of botn a huna and a foot. he second aliowed pension to disabled soldiers in certain cases, notwithstanding the fact that they had cnaaged in re- bellion against the United States. The thivd was an act so amending the republican law by which veterans of the Mexican war were peusioned, ns to muke it apply also 1o those veterans who bad afterwards taken up arms against the union. The fourth pensioned a lisutenant commander in the navy the sameas a lioutenant commanding. The fifth limited tho feeof claim agents to $10. The sixth increased from 50 per month to 872 the pension of veterans who had lost both hands, both feet and both eyes. The seventh was an act providing three months’ oxtra pay for Mexican voterans. Tho great bulk of thoso who profitod by this act wero southern men and ex- rebels. The cightn was the arrears act. ‘The ninth was the Mexican war servico pen- s10n: and tho teath was the widows' increase bill. " Of these ten acts only five have any geueral application, and three of the five ap. ply to the Mexican war and were applicable chiefly to tho south, and chiefly in favor of men who bad engaged in rebel servico. necealess to say that most of these laws were passea by democratio congresses; ana when the democrats talk of their great additions to tho vension law of the land, these aro tho adaiticns thoy speak of. dow far they af- fect union veterans, or rather how litile, 15 obvious. The arrears act and the widows’ increase bill wereundoubtediy excelient laws and most helpful to union vetcrans. The arrears act enabled the soldier to secure his pension from the date of his oaischarge. It was introduced by a vepublican; it was put upon its passage by & republican, snd was passed with the following record: Democrats for the bill, 38; democrats against the bill, 615 republicans for the bill, 116 republicans against the oill, nono. 3 The widow’s increase act incroused widows’ pensions from 5 to §12. The demo- crats filibustered against the amenament proposed by Goneral Brown, republican, re- poaling the arrears limitation, and would not allow it to be acted upon, and upon the final vote this record mad Democrats for the vill, 80; democrats against tho bill, 66 republicans for the bill, 118; republicans against the bill, none, Of the sixty-six domocrats who votea against the bill all but two were from the south, This does not by any means tell the wholo story of demooratic hostilities to the soldiers and sailors of the union. Cleveland's vetoos aro still to be considered. Such a tyrannical misuse of the veto power as Cleveland was Zuilty of was never known in Ameri- can history., The right of voto was lodged in the oxecutive, as tue S17 Our store eloses at 0:3 p. o dinys, when we close at 10 p. .

Linenty, Mo., Aug. 14,—Tho littie town of Smithviile, seventeon milos from this eity, was the scene of a terrible double tragedy last evoning. Potor MoCauley, & farmer liv- ing near Smithville, vamo to town early in the day and bewan drinking soon after his arrival. By evoning he was arunk and quar- relsome and was arrested for disturbing the ponce. His son came to town 1n the after- noou and heard of his father's disgrace. He went to u hurdware store and purchased a revolver and cartridges, As he went up tho stroet he met his fathor in charge of an oficer. Without n moment's hesitation he pulled out bis newly purchased weapon and shot his father, killing him instantly. Be- fore tho ofticer could interfere with the parricide he had sent u bullet crashing into his own brain. Hodied in a fow minutes, Tuore had been no previous troudle botween tho father and son, and the only cause known for the crime is that the father had disgraced himself by getting drunk. Young McCauley was not addicted to arink. e Oponed to Spokane, Sr. Pavi, Minn., Aug, 14.—At 7:40 this ovening the first regular through train of the Great Northern to Spokane left the union depot, augurating the full operation of the presont new transcontinental system, The train was brand new, from engiue to red Iights, and was well filled. TI'here will be no e<pecial celobration of the important event, contrary to expectation, us it is tho design of tho management 1o hold off and resorve all the availablo eclat for the grand opening of the entire line from here to the cobst, when ceramontes similar to thoso which signalized the complotion of the Northern Pacific will probably be induleed in. At Spokane, however, it is likety this will bo made the oceasion of considerable jubila- tion, and L. C. Dillman, the entorprising millionaire of that place, who is in tho city, will accompany the train on its journey. SN CORER Hatton's Love for Grabh, Washington Post, Wo entertain for the Hon, 1.
