That blow between the eyes which he received last November -seems to have let some intelligence into his skull. IF CHOLERA has reached Hamburg it has come 00 near this country for com- fort and the question of garbuge and eleaning the city will soon assume su- preme importance. Omahu has no use for cholera. ONE of the most intangible mysteries of life is the sight of au Irish-American, whose native land has been ruined by the free trade policy of England, cast- ing a vote to transfer the same condi- tions to this country. S1oux Crry has given up her pro- jected agricultural exhibit and says that next year she will huve a great corn palace. It’s alwuys safe to tulk of the future und a year produces the dis- appearance of many memories. — Ir OMAHA can be good and moral in the dog days, with only sixty-five pris- oners in the county jail while the aver- age has been for five years 110, it is evi- dent that this is the proper location for Schweinfurth’s or anybody else’s *‘Heaven.” THE county democracy meoting in New York, in which Tammany Hall was execrated and Hill’s name hissed, indicates that Whitney has lost his grip on the virtupus democracy of the me- tropolis. Lot ’em keep up theiv hissing of Hill. Tt sounds sweet to republican cars. CARL SCHURZ has 1ssued an address calling upon all Germans to vote for Cleveland. What nonsense! Why should the Germuaus endorse the wild cat money and free trade candidate in preference to the man who stands for an ‘honest dollar and protection to Ameri- can industry? f THE mayor and the city council con- tinue to get along in che most har- monious manner. The mayor uses his veto on nearly everything and the coun- <1l cheerfully passes the bills over his veto, It isovident that our mayoralty has thus become a purely exscutive oflice and hus nothing to do with logis lation. COUNCILMAN EDWARDS, who has seen Galesburg brick paving, is very much impressed with it. A city which has tried the brick paving, with good brick, can hardly be persuaded to tey uny other sort. The Galesburg brick is of a very superior order, but we see no reason why Nebraska brick may not be mude as strong and lasting. PLANS for the proposed city hall in South Omaha have been completed. The Magic City needs a city hall, butas the citizens are a little in doubt us to whether they can afford the luxury or not, it is proposed that it be built by private capital us an investment, und a man has been found who is willing to undertako the enterprise ard rent the building to the city. As matters now stund the various departments of the city government sre more orless scat- tored. Public convenience and the s@fety of official records require that a building especially suited to tho pur- vose be eorected, even though it be a very modest one. At the present rate of growth a city hall of some kind will 8000 be an absolute necessity in South Owmaha, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:UTHURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1892, A GREAT PURCHASING SCHEME. A frantic effort is now being put forth by the managers of the democratic na- tional campaign to raise a sufficient amount of money to earry the northwest for Cleveland. T'he states upon which the hopes and expeetations of the Cleve- land manngers are fixed arve Illinois, Town, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin. It is hardly necessary to enter into a consideration of the grounds upon which the democratic hope of securing the electoral vote of these states is based. It is enough to say that the democratic campaign managers beliove that the in- ronds of the people’s party upon the re- publican vote will bo s great that with a frec expenditure of money upon the doubtful or purchasable voters the states named can be carvied for the democratic candidate, The New York World is raising a special fund to be applied to this pu Po! It makes daily appeals to its renders to come forward with contribu- tions of monay to be used in behalf of Cleveland in the northwest. ‘“Think what would be accomplished,” snys that shameless newspaper, “if cach of the 850,000 porsons who buy the World would subscribe n single dollar. Why not all join hands and make this a ban- ner week? A dollar now 15 equal to ten times as much a month hence. Will you permit the World to add your name to tke democratic roll of honor tomor row morning?” In the wholo political history of this country there never has been a parallel o this. It amounts simply to an open and unblushing proclamation of the pur- pose of the democracy to put enough money in circulation in the six states named to carry them at all hazards. “The corruption fund upon which somuch reliance is placed will be in the hands of Don M. Dickinson, who has been as- signed to take chargeof the branch hendquartersof the democratic national commitice at "Chicago. No one who knows this lieutenant of Grover Cleve- lnnd will doubt that the money placed at his disposul will be used to corrupt voters. 1f the electoral votes of the northwest can be bought they will not lack a buyer. Tt is often said that ev man has his price, but we have too much faith in the integrity and independent manliness of the average American citizen to cve that, The northwest may bo fair fight- ing ground, but its voters ave not hold ing out open palms to the dispensers of democratic corruption funds. They will listen to argument, and if they are con- vinced that the democratic policy 18 suited to their needs they will favor it. But there is nothing in the history of politics in the states upon which the demoeratic campaign muanagers now nropose to concentrate thoir efforts that can give them any hope of being able to make profituble use of the large cor- ruption fund which they are now en- deavoring to raise for distribution in this section of the country The desperate efforts which the demo- crats are muking to secure the electoral votes of lllinois, Towa, Knnsas, Ne- braska, Minnesota and Wisconsin show how little hope they have of winning in the doubtful states of the east. There is every reason to believe that they huyve given up New York. In that state they have always used money unsparingly, but they seem to think that it would be a sheor waste to do so this year. Momey can never pitch up the quarrel between the factions there. And yet there is a much better prospect of results from the expenditure of a corruption fund in New York than in Nebraska ov any other of the states for whose purchase the demo- crats of the country are now asked to contribute. Grover Cioveland cannot bo elevated to the presidency by the use of money in the northwest. MAYOR BEMIS AND Tl COUNCIL, Mayor Bemis and the council have been at loggerhends almost from the day on which the new city government went into power last January. The dif- ferences between mayor and council arose &t first in the distribution of offi- ces. The muyor endeavored to exercise his own judgment in the selection of subordinates, while the council insisted upon its claim to control the patron- age for political supporters and per- sonal friends. This conflict over spotls of office has borne its natural fruit, just a5 it always has and always will so long as there ure boues to pick by hungry office seekers and so long ns there is di- vided responsibility between the execu- tive and legislative branches in the mat- ter of appointments. t Mayor Bemis is & man with a mind and will of his own. He sometimes yields to argument or advice by friends, but refuses to be driven by anybody. In this respect he is more of a hard-headed Scotchman who cannot be moved when once he has made up his mind rather than a plinble Yankee who gives way to pressure for the suke of expediency. Muyor Bemis is rigidly honest and means to be right. Like other men he is prone to err sometimes, but his errors aro usually in the interest of economy and good government. Had the conflict between Mayor Bemis and the council been con- fined to the spoils of oflice there would have been no serious injury to the pub- lic interests at the very worst. But the council seeks to retaliate on the mayor by opvosing everything he recommends and approving every measure that he believes to be to the detriment of tne eity. It has now got to be a common practico to snub the mayor by passing over his head overy item or ordinance that he vetoes, Now the mayor may be wrong sometimes, but he cannot be wrong always. The mayor's veto is the brake which the charter has placed upon jobbery, extravagunce and luwlessness, When the brake no longer oporates the jobbers and boodlers get in their work, and the taxpayers are vobbed indis- criminatoly by theirown servants just to snub the muyor. If this practice is continued the pres- ent council will not only lose popular confidence hut will be retired with the same odium that attachas to 1ts prede cessors. The taxpayers ave baginning to feel thut the reform council needs re- formiug very budty, The sooner it real- izes thut the people arve on to the trick of passing jobs und unlawful upproprin- tions over tho veto under pre‘ense of giving another black eye to Bem's, the sooner its reputable members will be- come convinced that their- duty is to weigh earefully the ebjections raised by the mayo: in his vetoes and act upon their honest convictions in the interest of good government. NOTHER SLAP AT OMAHA. Thore is almost in every state a con- stanteffort by small-bore people to dis- parage and belittle the state metropolis. In the '60’sand '70 s the smuiler towns of Ohio wero battering away at Cincinnati and vp to within the last ton years the papers and jo'iticians in the smaller towns of Illinois wera constantly trying to disparage and decry Chicago. or years Omaha has been the target of rural small-bore politicians and fontherweight editors. The attempt to folat prohibition upon Nebraska two years ago was largely due to the desire to cripple Omaha and the defeat of Richards for governor, instead of being charged to the allinnce uprising which carried away over 40,000 republican voters, was charged up against Omaha. Last year, when Douglas county gave Judge Post aplurality of 6,578, while his pluralities in the balance of the state only aggregated 6.412, few party leaders outside of this eity exhibited any dispo- sition to eredit Omaha with saving the day for the republican cause. Within ninety days after tho olection of Judge Post, Thomas Majors and his organs and henchmen opened the most vindictive, bitter and malignant crusade against Omaha to which this city has ever been subjected. Kvery mean thing that had ever been before snid about Omaha wus raked up, and the siush-gates of waduction were thrown open. The Majors canvass, from beginning to end, was one of detraction and vile abuse of Omaha and everything that emanates from Omaha,. The Peru (Guzette, tho home organ of Majors, which he controls absolutely, immediately after the con- vention, hoisted the republican ticket in the following form, to = emphasize Majors’ hatred of Omaha: REPUBLICAN STATE ot Governor, B _ROSEWATER, Of Omaha. For Lieutenant Governor. B. ROSEWAT Of Omaha, For Auditor. E. ROSEWATEH Of Oma TICKET. ha. For State 'l nsurer. E. ROSEWATER, 1 Of Omaha : a WATE maha. Public Instruction, I SEWATER, Of Omaha. For Com'r Public Lands und Buildings, ROSEWATER, . As a climax ofstupidspite the Majors contingent on the state central commit- tee has taken thé republican headquap- tersaway from Omaha and located them at Lincoln. Now suppose any republi- can of Illinois should propose to take the headquarters away from Chicago and locate them at Springfield, or any New York state republican should pro- pose to move the state headquarters from New York to Albany, would not the pronosition be scoutea and voted down with a thud? Omaha is expected to furnich a large portion of the eampaign fund,'justus she did last year and as sho always has done and will do. Omaha is expected to furnish the majority necessary to insure republican succ Omaha is more ac- cessible to interstate speakers than Lin- coln and Omaha excels Lincoln in every respect asa point for rallying party lenders by telegraph and communicat- ing with the national committee. But Mr. Majors and his adherents in the committee were bound to give Omaha a slap in the face, confident that Stuht, Ehrenpfort and Thompson will carry out the contract to give tho anti-Omaha candidate 10,000 majority in Douglas county. AS S An association of wage earners in Providence, R. I, has adopted a sensi- ble method of getiing at the exact truth in regurd tothe difference between the condition of the European working- man and his brother in the United States. A fellow workman, Willard I, Lansing, has been chosen to make a personal investigation and is now in Enogland, visiting various manufactur- ing towns and obtaining intervesting facts which he presents to his friends at home through the columns of a Provi- dence newspaper. The results of Mr, Lansing’s investi- gations in Leeds are valuable and very suggestive. In that city there are at least 5,000 hands employed in the shoe industry. If these 5,000 men ware em- ployed "the year round their average weekiy earnings would be about $6.24 for skilled mechanies, but taking into consideration their enforced idleness a part of the time the average is lowered to about #4, There are some special classes of workmen io the Leeds shops who earn at busy times #5 64 to $9.12 por week. The cost of house rent is from #1 to $1.80 per week and gas about 52 conts. The workingman pay 25 cents per pound for butter, 18 cents for beef or wmutton, 48 cents for tea, 2 conts per pound for potutoes, turnips and onions, 86 conts for 14 pounds of flour, 8 cents per quart for milk, and other table sup- plies are about in the same proportion. It will nov be difficult for the Ameri- can workingman Lo see that at this rate the Englishman who manages to keep body and soul together is to be con- gratulated upon his ability us a finan- cier, The American himself would be discouraged av the outset and abandon the attompt to live upon such wages. He simply would not submit to such havd conditions, But fortunately he is not required to do so. KFree trade has not yet been established in tkis country, and uuntil it does come the American workingman will” enjoy the comforts of lifeund av lenst a fow of its luxuries. He even has the power absolutely to deter- mine whether the policy of protection to American industries shali be abolished or not, und there is a general belief will meet the proposition with an*emphutic negative. FREE trade journals say thut putting quinine on the fi%e list cheapened it } sell some at spells along to sort of keep uv Frea quinine is ch@uper than bofore, but oven if the redugtion was cuused by the tarifl’s abolition! if sould not prove any- thing with vegard to articles which are not produced in ghjs country. The qui- nine matter would:stand just where the sugar matter stands today. But the truth is that theéduction in the price of quinine was ¢ivisad by a new discov- ery in the prepaation of the cinchona or Peruvian bark, by which 1t could bo produced very mueh more cheaply and in greater quanbities. Any pharmacist or physician will'{gll you that the free traders should not monkey with facts. Tne Union Pacific Railroad company is to bo commended for taking swps toward a friendly scttlement of the question presented by the machinists, blacksmiths and boilormakers, who have asked to be allowed to work a groater number of hours than hereto- fore, theie pay being based upon the number of hours of labor. For some time past these omployes of tho company have been putting in only fifty hours a weelk, They have now asked for fifty- four hours, with pay in proportion. Th committee which waited upon the offi- cizls asked for the discharge of a suffi- cient number of mea to make the system proposed practicable, but it was finally agreed that the men should await the natural reduction of the working force, which always occurs in the fall when some of the hands seck winter situations in the south. The number of black- smiths, machinists and boilermakers will thus be reduced about 200, and as the men are paid by the hour the ag- gregato of their weekly wages will be considerably increased. The attitude of the railroad company in this matter seems to be fair. It would be hard to throw a portion of the force out of em- ployment in ovder that the remainder might be benefited, but after the nat- ural reduction referred to has ~||\lmn place the matter will be simplified. When the force has beeu thus reduced to the proper proportions the company will probably refrain from inereasing it and reducing the hours ot work in the future. CAMPAL LATT ER. Another howl for “harmouy” has gone up from the ghost dancers since the meating of the state central cominittee. The Fremont ‘Tribune says that Rosewater ‘“wvas rebuked with a unanimity that paralyzed him, but atthe same time will add strength to the tickel, becaase it will show to the poople that the republican party in Nebraska bas not yet fallen to the low estate where ono man can dictate its polioy:" Tho Lincoln Call fefers to “the little dic- tator and his brand of republicanism,” and asserts that *‘the days of bulldozing the party arc drawiug to a close; cheap bosses must go." The State Journal speaks of ‘‘a seif-ap- pointed guardian of the interests of repuoli- canism,’ avd declares thav “'the committee repudiated all attémpts to bind and zag the party and spoke its disapproval of the at- tempted dictation. For all of whicn the Journal says the republicans should “thank God and take coufage.” o There ara still 8 fow ghost dagcers to be heard from. The republican state ‘central committee took cognizance of the challengo of tho in- dopendents topit Van Wyck aguinst Crounso in joint debate, and the vrospects are that the contest will come off as soon as the necessary preliminaries can bo arranged. Chairman Cady of the republican committee has addressed the following note to Chair- man Blake: “Hox. G. W. Brike, Chairman Inde- pendent State Central) Committee: Dear Sir—Answering your ostesmed fayor of the 20th inst., relative toa joint discussion be- tween tho republican and independent can- didates for wovernor, the chairman aud sec- retary of the republican state committeo will be pleased to meet you for the purposo of considering this matter at the Capital hotel, Wednesday, August 31, 4 p. m.” Kom's bold defi to Whitehead has also been accepted through Matt Daugherty, chuirmsn of the ropublican congressional committee, who announces that he is ready to meet the chairman ot the independent commitiee to arrange dates and fix places, Braa Slaughter has been made s member of the republican executive committee, be- causo of his oftice as secretrry of tho state republican league, aua W. E. Peebles of Ponder has been creaced vice chairman of the state central committee. W. G. Whitmore of Valley, whoso name has peen mentioned ip connection with the republican congressional nomination, is re- ported to have authorized his frieuds to say that he 1s not a candidate and would not ac~ cept the nomination 1f tendered. Here's another democratic pointer from the pon of Harry Puelpsof the Howoeils Journal: “Governor Boyd is quoted in a newspaper interview as saying that the democrats of Nebraska would vote for Weaver olectors. We for ono think the governor is off. We kuow of at least a fow demovrdts who will vote for Cleveland eleo- tors or not vote at all, 1f it had not been for afow such democraty as James E. Boyd there would have boen no doubt about Ne- braska this fall. The gentleman may think he will be able to turn the party over to the independents, but Wi§ wish o go on record as suyiog that ne dan do nothing of the kind, He i3 very liuble to hoar something drop when Lhuconvunu‘ninuuu at Lincoln on the H0th of vhis monthy Democratic oraglgé are predicting the nomination of Colanel W.

You're out of poli- s, and you'll be ovt of furming pretty soon if you do that.” “Ob, it ain't my hay,” interrupted Mr. Howe. *T'm just speculating on my alliance neighbor's erop. “Foraging on the enomy, ehgy chuckled the genoral. “Well, that'll do all right. T try 1t myself once ia a while, and it strikes | me thaiv's a protiy good way of running a farm. But take my advico, Church, and don’t let your own hay go off the place.” Mr. Howe intimated that his ey e-teeth camo to the surface some timo ago, agriculturally speaking, and then dropping his voice to an intense whisper, askod: *'(Gencral, how does it look politically? Are you in te§" “In ftlinat!in it!” artioulated the general in tones that caused no visible trouble with tho exception of stoppin the clock, “1 should say L amin it. But, Chureb, why do you ask?” he continued solicitously, regaining his self-control. “Areanyofthe boys " “Not that I know of, general,’ was the reply. “Friendly enriosity, you know.” “Ab, hal yes; yos; yes; yos! Iseo. Woll, Chureb, we'll call it 50 for the prosent anyway, andif I change my min later on, 1'll send out word and let the follers know. Yes, I'm 2oing home right away. Crops grow atnight ay well as by daylight, you know, and Idon't tike to stay away. Now, Church, don’t forget about the hay, Goodnight.” Cass county will send a delegation to tho democratic state convention unfavorablo to the candidacy of Matthew Gering of Platts- mouth for attorney weuneral. Mr. Gering Proposes to go after the nomination just the same and he says ho can cateh it without any assistance from his loma county. It has been alleged that the Clay county fndependents proposed to shelve Speakor Elder this year, but just now there seoms to be an undercurrent running in Sam’s divec- ton and nobody need be surprised if he comes out of the convention with the noma- tion for tho house. Like the Clay Center lady, tho indepondents of the county ‘‘don’t believe Mr. Eidor is such a naughty man.” Ever siuco the vepublican central commit- tee adjourned it has been a conundrum who personated the missing thirty-third man, There were only thirty-two members and proxies present up to Cooke's election, und thereafter thero were thirty-three.
