IN VIEW of the recont decision of the Westarn Traffic association, let that freight burean bo organized at once. Its necessity is urgent at this time. Wi streetearmen’sand switchmen’s strikes in this country just now there ought tobe a healthy demand for fall shoeleather. Walking is still good. Tue cities on the Missouri river must stand togother against the aggressions of Chicago grain and cattle dealers’ combinations and discriminating rail- road magnates. THE Chicago News, a rampant tariff reform organ, says that the people are ularmed because of the free trade stand of the democratic party and that *‘they prefer McKinleyism to Cobdenism.” BY THE elevation of Lord Rosebery to the post of foreign secretary the Gladstone government wishes to serve notice on the other nations that the lion’s tail will stand no twisting this trip. WHATEVER impulse the Omaha con- vention gave to the cause of the Weaver crowd in this state there is no doubt that it has been altogether overcome by the stern logic of reason and horse sense. THE New York World has raised a campaign fund to carry the western states for the democracy. Even though Calvin 8 Brico has disappeared from the campaign, he ovidently left a whole garret full of rainbows. ON THE morning of November 9 some of the wisest democratic organs in America can use as editorial explanation of their defeat some of the articles on Cleveland which they published before the wigwam convention, Tue Board of Bducation has dilly- dallied with the construction of new school buildings very much after the fashion pursued by the council and Board of Public Works in regard to paving and sewer contracts, HE Denver system of garbage dispo- Rition is superior to that of Omahu, but the really best way to dispose of the stufl is to burn it. As we have no crema- tories in this city, every back yard can be used and no damage done. Burn the garbage. I1 18 now claimed that Omaha and XKansas City packers get a rebate by which the hog product rates are more nearly equalized. If this is true it is all the more a reason for appeal to the law to correct such abuses. Let this trans- portation business be not only fair but open and honest, It SEEMS to be the peculiar mission of the free trade organs to search this country over with a fine tooth comb in hysterical haste to discover a protected industry which by renson of mismanage- ment or noglect has proven a failure. This is truly American procedure and is of great uid in advertising this nation, THE docision of Gov: of Tennessee Lo Buchanan rnor bolt the democratic ticket und run as an independunt will sorve to increase intorest in the politi- eal campaign in that state. It is under- stood thut Governor Buchanan will be nominated by the people’s party, which will hold its convention tomorrow, and the platform he has announced ought to be entirely acceptable to the new party. ‘With four tickets in the fieid, and so popular » man as Buchanan at the head of one of them, the republicuns ought to stand some chance of winning. There L+ every reason to expoct that the gov- ernor will draw extensively from the democrats, and as the people’s party in Tonnessee was largely recruited from tlhe democracy, it wou'd seem that the latter cuunot ufford to lose a groat many more without the danger of being beaten. Strauger things have happensd in politics than would be the election this year of a republican governor in Tonnessce, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; WED REPUBLICAY PROSPECTS IN MISSOURL The republicans of Missouri,under the loadership ol Major Warner, their can- didate for governor, nre making a vigors ous and aggressive campaign, and it is believed by those who are well informed regarding the situation that the chances of republican success on the state ticket ave good, It is a noteworthy fact that the democratic lead in Missouri on the state ticket is falling off much faster than it is on the national ticket. The democrats carried the state in 1880 for president by 55,000 and for governor by 54,000, while four years ago the vots for president was nearly 26,000 and for gov- ernor only a little over 13,000, This very marked decline in the democratic vote in state issues is due to the fact that the people have become dissatisfied with the prolonged domina- tion of one party and there is a very general feoling that the material inter- ests of the state would be promoted by a change. Intelligent democrats concedo that the continued control by their party in the state is in somo vespocts a disadvantage, and it 1s bo jeved there are many such who, while voting for the national candidates of the democracy, will go with the republicans in state issues, The republicans of Missouri do not expect to carry the state against Cleveland, but they are hopeful, and appurently with good reason, of electing thoir state ticket. The republican candidate for crnor, Mujor Warner, is very popular, particularly with the old soldiers, of whom Missouri has a large number. He is muking his campaign almost wholly upon state issues and the testimony is that his canvass is proviug to bo very effective. At any ratd the advicos from Missouri are very reassuving for the re- publicans so far as the state ticket is concerned, and such a victory this year would go far toward making the state republican on the presidential ticket four years hen gov- THE PEOPLE KNOW BE It pleases the orators and press of the democratic party to make u great deal of noise about the *‘robber tariff,” and the claim is persistently put forth that the present protective tarifl law has in- crensed the cost of necessaries to the American people. The claim is utterl false, as everybody knows who keeps ) an approximate account of his ex- penses, Let us seo how the facts agree with democrutic statements, In 1889 blankets cost #4 23 a pair, but by October, 1850, they had fallen to $4.094, and the fol- lowing year they dropped to 70. Boots that cost $3.27 a pair in 1889, feli in 1890 to 3,07 and the next year they were down to $2.78%. Calico dropped from 74 cents to G} cents and then to 6 cents. Carpets fell from 77% cents to 72} in 1890 and the next year they could bo bought tor 664 cents. Cotton hosiery fell from 25 to 20¢; cotton thread from 5 to 44; flannel from 39% to 34%; gingham from 10% to 8% linen from 483 to 424; rubber bhoots from $3.10% to $2.73%; sheet. ings from 8 cents to 61; shoes from $3.45 to $3.06: granulated sugav from 93 to conts; brown sugar from 8} to 44 Woolen clothing, which has been pecially pointed to by the free traders as an article that must go up under pro- tection, has fallen decidedly since the MecKinley law went into effect. Almost everything that the poor wan hasto buy is cheaper now than ever berore, and the reduction is still going on under the tariff law which the democrats suy is cruelly robbing the pockets of the people. Nothing could be more absurd than the cool assumption of the leaders of the democratic campaign that the common people have not sense enough to know the difference between truth and falsehood concerning matters which ave directly and forcibly brought to their attention every time they open therr purses to pay a store bill. —— DISAFFECTED DEMOCRATS, Some time ago Mr. Cleveland said at a reception given him by a democratic club in New York eity, referring to the conflicts in the party 1 do not know Jthat there have been any differen: %2 It was a disingenuous assertion, for no one knew betwer than Mr. Cleveland of the disaffection in the ranks of the de mocracy, particularly in his own stat but it was accepted by the organs of th candidate as an assu that he was personally in harmonious relations with each faction of the party. At a later date thero was a stutement from the chairman of the democratic national committee that whatever differences of choice or of opinion may havo existed prior to the Chicugo convention they were completely dono away with, and this also wus heralded as evidence that democrats were forgetting that there had ever been any differcnces. But no- body knew better than Mr. Harrity that such was not the caee, because he was even at that time cudgeling his brain in connection with Mr, Whitney to devise a way to placate some of the dis- gruntled democrats of New York. A plan was finally adopted which gave prominent recognition to some of the most ardent friends of Senator David 13, Hill, but if the arrangement pleased these gentlemen, s it would scem from their accoptance it did, it produced an entirely different effoct upon some of the men who were conspizuous in their opposition to Hill. The state of mind of some of tha “‘anti-snuppers,” as dise closed in recent interviews, shows that there are very pronounced difference: among the democrats of the Empire state, and the men who ave now doing thesyigorous kicking ure those who most actively and zaalously championed the ¢ use of Mr. Cleveland. The serious character of the situution will be appre- ciated when it is stated that Mr. Charies A. Dana makes a personal: appeal to William R. Gruce and Charles 5. Falr- hild, the ‘*anti-snappor” leaders, to “‘suppress, or ot ieast to conceal, the bitterness which they are now manifest- ing towuard vhe Hon, William C. Whit- ney und the du'y cons'ituted managers of the democrat o canvass.” Mr, Dana waras them that the course they are pursuing is ealcalated to injure the democratic course, SIf either through mortified vanity,” says the editor of the Sus, *‘or through jenlousy of other leaders chosen in pref- erence to themselves to order and con duct the democratic canvass, they per- 1o sist in exhibiting themselves as the original promoters of Mr. Cleveland’s eandidacy and the peouliar proprietors | of his political fortunes, they will render democratic success diffic if not im- probable.” The trouble is that Grace, Fairchild, and the other ‘‘anti-snap- pors’” ave disposed to resent the uncere- monious way in which they were turned down and Sheehan and others of the friends of Hill put forward. Tt is a nat- ural fooling, but the treatment is what they might have expected. Mr. Whit- ney is a very practical politician, and ho understood the importance of placating and using the fighting men of the party. That Mr. Cleveland was in full sympa- thy with the plan which relegated Grace, Fuirchild and their nssociates to the background is not to be doubted. It is questionable whether these gen- tlemen will heed the admonition of Mr. Dana.. They have not received very re- spoctful consideration from him in the past and they may feel that he is in some mensure responsible for the trent- ment they have received at the hands of Mr. Whitney. At any rate they do not hesitate to let it be known that they are at present very much dissatisfied and it remuins to be seen whether they can be whipped into line. This and other cir- cumstances in the political situation in New York make the outlook for repub- lican success in the state very promising. A GRATIFYING PROSPECT. Readers of Tui Bre cannot have failed to notice that its columns contain almost every day accounts of new indus- trial enterpris tablished within the boundaries of Ne This steady of our mills and shows that the home patronage iden is bearing fruit. Every one of these new enterprises, even though compara- tively small at the outsst, is bound to grow and keep pace with the demands of its market. Every one of them must employ men who, with their familios, will swell the number of consumers of ali commodities, and thus the reciprocal influence of home patronage will be made manifest. It is not to be expected that Nebraska will very soon take rank as u groat man- ufaeturing state, but it has already been amply demonstrated that sho can pro- duce many of the manufactured nrticles formerly purchased elsewhere, and that her manufacturers can meet those of other states upon an equal footing in the market. The world must have our grain, but the notion that we can pro- duee nothing else and that the corn of Nebraska must bo exchanged for the manufacturod products of the eas gradually being abandoned. The time is rapidly approaching when the vast product of Nebraska’s fertile acres will be coined into money to pay for com- modities manufactured upon her own soil. All signs point to advancement along this line. COMPETITION BY WATER AND RAIL Tho competition between the railroads and the clipper ships from San Fran- cisco to Now York is producing results very favorablo to the shippers of the Pucific coast, especially in tho line of hoavy freights. There hns lately been a great revival in the carrying trads from west t8 east by the way of Capo Horn. Some of the largest and best iling ships now enguged in commerce are those employed in what is called in the cast *“the Californin trade.” Tttakes a sailing ship about 115 duys on the average to go from San Francisco to New York around the Horn. Some- times it takes much longer, und a voy age of 100 days is considered very markable. Yet this slow method of freight transportation has, by reason of its chenpness, so extensively cut into the business of the railroads that the Southern Pacific has deemed it neces sary to lower its rate on certain kinds of goods from 40 to 60 per cent; and judg- ing by the published schedule the re- duction applios to the greater portion of the merchanaise shipped ecast from the Pacific const. It will naturally be supposed that handise requiring quick transpor- tation will go entirely by rail, and that the railronds will make the shippers pay dearly for such freight. Not only is this true, but local rates are help up to the h sotch and shippers are bitterly bemonning the lack of competi- tion in rates to iniand market The water routes nre the great regu- lators of transportation charges. Where there is a possibility of competition by sen or lnke or canal against the rail- rouds the latter must inevitably suc- cumb. Thoy huvealwauys done so. The water 1s free to all and offers no advant- age to the monopolist. m A CRUEL FAKE, 1t is the province of every newspaper to supply its putrons with information concerning any topie in which there is a popular interest. In the exercise of this function there i a limit beyond which no reputable journal will ever venture. The seusational publicity n by the World-Herald to floating street rumors, concerning the late Judge Clarkson, 18 an outrageous abuso of the license which the American press en- joys. Ttis u cruel fake bused on the wildest theories unsupported by any tangible proof. The woof and web of the pretended discovery that Judge Clarkson has de- serted family and friends and sought to defraud the lifo insurance companies by leaving evidences of accidental drown- ing vest wpon the most Mimsy of pre- texts. The were finding in the neigh- vorhood of Honey Creek lako fragments of letters und clothing tags is stupidly coupled with a barber’s story that he haud cut off the beard of amun who hap- pened to travel in that neighborhood two weoks ago. Judge Clarkson was a sane man when last seen, and if he meditated abscond- ing he certainly would have taken every precaution to cover his tracks. He would scarcely have dropped letters and papers that were sure to leave a clew. Had he suddenly become insane he would not have likely gone to Honey Creek luke with an extra suit of cloth- ing and left his watch and vhe whole suit he had been wearing in a boat on the lake.

The United States is qute a3 much interested in this subject as any other country, buy nothing can be done regarding it for atleast six months. The treasury is powerless, the law absolutely requiring the purchase of 0 much silver monthly, so that the gov- ernment must go on purchasing even il that metal should continue to fall. The situation gives more than ordinary in. terest to the conference soon to bo held to consider the silver problem, but as that body can do nothing cept to recommend a great deal may happen in the way of unsettling finunciul affairs before any practical result from its de- liberations may be reached. Meanwhile the downward course of silver offers a lesson for the careful attention of those who urge that the United States should adopt the free and unlimited coinage of that metal. Suppose that policy were now in operation, can there beany doubt that there would pour into the country a flood of silver which our mints could not handle in the next five years, but which coming here would have the ef- fect to drive gold to a premium and out of circulatior AMONG the terrible things that have provoked him to revoit against the old parties J. .

The treasury officinls made no demurrer, but paid out the $1,000,000 in exchange for tha treasury notes and tho load wus carted away and put on the stoamer. The transaction caused some comment, as no Lome institution or home banking firm has ever in the history of the government made & like demaud on the treasury, and in some quarters an improssion provuiled that the exportng flrm took this step, not 50 much to take the profit on the shipment, which, in itself, is too insignificant, for a bank or firm to consider, but really for the purpose of forcing a crisis. Assistant ‘L'roasurer Roberts was at the subtreasury while the gold for Germany was being carted awav. He admilted that it was the first time such a demand had beon made, although gola had heretofore been given partly for old and partly for new treasury notes. Ho said in reply to questions: “No steps have beon taken by the adminis- tration to prevent or obstruct the export ot gold. The government stands ready to meet ull its obligations in gold, und will pay them all in gold, Its fres gold balance now amouats to§112,000,000.” By this statement of Treasurer Roberts, it is clear that the government has already decided on a plan to pay all the siver treasury notes in gold if it is demanded. Vice President Cannon of the Kourth National bank said he did not think that ihe gold surplus would be reduced at present, but that it would be increased instead, as the treasury is now recoiving gold from the eastern banks for transhipment to the west, and in the west is paying out_currency on account of these shipments. By this step 1ast year the government increased Its gold holdings 314,000,000, KILLED BY A CONVICT.
