The city should be ex- tensively and fittingly decorated. We are all Jaborers and take great pride in the condition of labor in Nebraska and especially in this city, BY REPEALING resolution No. 80, passed last July, the council has abol- ished the office of permanent sidewalk fnspector. There never was as much need of such an officer as there will be for the next ninety days. ——e HE interest which usually attaches to the Vermont September election, which occurs this year on the 6th, will be somewhat weakened, if notaltogether puiverized, by a social event at New Orleans on the same da I WAS a quite preposterous idea for the New York World to designate the Omaha World-Herald us the repository of the western campaign boodle for Iowa. Those Iowa democrats who read donot kunow of the existence of such a paper. It wouLp be dificult to find a city which is enjoying more general pros- perity than Omaha. Building is going on in all parts of the city, trade is in- crousing in every department and help is haitd toget. There is nolack of work and very littls poverty. THE wheat, oats, rve and barley of Nebraska are making a reputation for themselves in the murkets of the coun- try by reason of their superior quality, Corn is still king in this state, but the other cereals are pushing toward the front with rapid strides. —_— I1 18 an unfortunate®turn of affairs for democratic newspapers when they are compelled just now to praise President Hurrison for his ringing, American, ro- tailiatory proclamation. But alas! there is no escape but silence, and demo- crats know nothing of that method of expression, SDITOR CARTER HARRISON says that *Illinois is a battle field where vietory may be won or lost.” This eminently wise remark, uttered by a brilliant statesman, can, of course, bo applied only to Illinois. What will huppen to victory in other states wo don’t know, because Carter hasn's told us. — DAN CAMPBELL has been nominated for congress by the people’s party and endorsed by the democratic purty of the Lleventh Towa district. Old Dan has trod the diverse path of Weaver and was a eandidate for governor on the greenback ticket a few years ago. Monona county, his home, seems to be a very peaceful and sensible county, yet it has not only Campbell on its debit side, but several other more or less conspicu- ous freaks, including our own Joha Joff- aoat END OF THI WITCHME. STRIKE. The switchmen’s strike has ended in thy defeat of the strikers, a result which was forescen by everybody who took an intelligent view of the situntion. Grant that the men had a grievance and that their demand was just, when they ve- sorted to violence they damaged their case irrotrievably. A bad spirit has prevailed from the inception of the strilze, the assault off Grand Maeter Sweeney being the shameful termina- tion of a record of violence which de- prived the strikers of public sympathy. Some of the men are evidently exasper- ated by defeat, and as many of them will be unable to return to their old places further outrages are to be expected. T'he railroads do not propose to reinstate the men, who mast make application for employment.in the regular way, and it is not likely that any of thoss who have been guilty of lawlessness, and this is the case with most of them, will be taken back. This strike caused a sorious derange- ment of business, a heavy, direct and im- mediate loss to the railway companies and to their patrons, and a large ex- pense to the taxpayers for maintainiog the militia, Compuuing all things it has been a very costly conflict and all that tho strikers have in return is experience, which to many of them is likely to prove bitter. It has its lesson for nll organized labor, which is that it cannot promote its cause by breaking the laws and resorting to. violence, siowever just and proper its domands muy bo, The tendency that has ve- cently been exhibited by lubor to disve- gard the law must bo condemued by all good cit . Such a course brings re- upon organized labor and injures 0. This occurrence suggests the question whetherit is not desirable to adopt some plun by which to prevent the stoppage of transportation either by the railrond compunies or their employes. The pub- lic servico rondored ny the railvoads is s0 cssontial to the interests and well- being of the whole people that neither the companies who mannge them nor the populations who depenc upoa them for constantly needed transportation can afford to have their operation put at hazard for uny reason short of an over- ruling necessity. The transportation of pussengers, mails and goods must not be put at the hazard of stoppage when- ever railwoy employes cannot come to an understanding with railway officials. The time is coming when there will have to be legislation that will compel the settlement of controversies between the railroads and their employes with out interfering with the business of the vonds, or what would perhaps be still better, tha regulation of the wages of such employes by law. The danger that at any time the business of the country may be paralyzed by the stop- puge of railroad transportation, inflict- ing incalculable injury upon all 1nter- ests, is a very serious mutter, and if something is not done to avert it the country may some day have a very costly and troublesome experienca. There is no valid reason why congress should not regulate by legislation the employment und wages of persons in the service of interstate railronds, so that neither the companies nor the unions would have anything to say regarding the matter of compensation and thus the cause of controversy would be re- moved. It is not easy to overestimate the importance of this matter of avert- ing the danger of a widesproad stop- page of railroad transportation, with which the country has heen more than once threatened and from which it has just narrowly escaped. ANOTHER APPEAL FOR BUODLE. At the request of Jumes Gordon Ben- nett Carter H. Harrison, editor of the Chicago Zimes, bas contributed to the first named newspaper a long essay en- titled *‘Victory in Illinois.” It isin many respects a remarkable production, but it does not by any means show that the democrats have a chanee of winning in Illinois. Among other things Mr. Harrison says: “All men respect and honor Cleveland, but he has not en- deared many men personally to his name. He has not in the past shown winning ways.” This is rvather ‘good, considaring its democratic source. The writer also says: “But on the other hand, Harrison has winning ways to make men like him,” Then in the next breath the democratic editor says: “No republican ever speaks with any warmth of either Hurrison or All they cnn suy is Harvison has given a clean ad- ministration.” A little further on we come upon this: *“The cleanness of the last two administrations to n great ex- tent tenas to repress any marked enthu- sinsm, This condition continuing will have a worse effect upon the democrac than upon their epponents. Why? Decorous quictude tends to keep men in accustomed liues.” There ure many quotable things in this extraordinavy political essay, but we fail to see wherein it affords any encouragement to the democracy, The gist of the whole argument is thata cold campaign will give the state of Illinois to Harrison and Rsid and that a red hot campaign will give it to Cleve- land and Stevenson. “The national committee,” says the writer, “should look to it that from the opening of the campaign to the day of election the estern prairvies should hear the rattle of musketry and the roar of cannon,” If this 13 the best cise that can ba made out for the democrats in Illinois the muanagers of that party would do well to turn their attention to some other locality, If Mr. Cleveland is looked upon by the democrats of Illinois as & mzn who “has not in the past shown winning ways,” while President Harrison **has winping ways to muke men like him,” what is the use in talk- ing ubout winning in thav state by the rattlo of musketry and the roar of can- non? If it is wue that ‘‘decorous quietude tends to keep men in acous- tomed lines" why not let the **‘decorous quietude” go on? Nothing could be better for the interests of business— which are the prime interests now— thao *‘decorous quietude.” The ruttle of muskotry and the roar of cannon can serve no good purpose. They mean absolutely nothing. Tho democratic party professes to desive a campaign of education. Its candidate is perpetually THE writing letters in which he reiterates with tiresoms monotony certain sage platitudes about the enlightenment of the voters. Then why not adhere to tho original plan and keep on trying to con- vince the American pesple that free trade is an unmixed blessing anl pro- tection n system of wicked robbery The true inwarduess of the plan of campAign 1o arouse the western voters by the rattlo of musketry and the voar of cannon is exposed by the concerted effort to rai great corruption fund to be lnvishly poured into the coveted states. The democracy is making the mistake of underestimating the intelli- gence of the American voter. A BOND BELECTION IMPRACTICABLE. We doubt the wisdom of submitting any bond proposition to the voters of Omaha at the coming November elec- tion. What with the electoral ticket, the state ticket, the congressional and legislative tickets, the Board of Educa- tion ticket and sthe ward councilmen ticket, the voters will have a task that will severely tax their patience and take up the full time allotted for every poll- ing place and subdivision. Another and more cogent reason why no bond provosition should be submitied is that no bona proposition is likely to receive two-thirds of ail the votes cast at the election. A presidential election always draws out a full vote. Thous- ands of electors would omit voting on the bond proposition and every such omission is counted the same as a vote agninst it and must be offset by two votes for it. It would bo a waste of monoy to ndvertise a bond proposition for thirty d when it is manifest that the proposition could not recsive two- thirds of all the votes cast. It we are compelled to raise any money by bonds for city or school pur- will have to be voted atn al election. The expense of such an election can be materially curtailed by reducing the number of polling places. When there are only one or two propositions to be voted on which chiefly concern the tyxpayers from threo to five polling places to the ward would be ample and thus the expense for judges and clerks of election would be reduced by more than 50 per cent. NO DOUBT ABOUT THEIR MEANING. More than any other man 1n his party Heury Watterson was vesponsible for the adoption of thefree trade tariff plank in the democratic platform: Therefore he may be supposed to represent the views of his party generaily when he eays: *Down with the thieviug duties at the custom houses; down with the swindling reciprocity treatie: down with the cant about the wage earners; down with the fraud that taxes make wealth; down with all the fallacies of pro- tection, and up with the starry flag of the union, free trade and sailors’ rights! Mr. Watterson ought to be a pretty good authority as to what the demo- cratic party means by its platform ut- terances. He is an absolue free trader aud wus the framer of the platform adopted by the Chicago convention. Only one newspuper of prominence thut is supporting Grover Clevelund has raised any objection to the radicnl views which he expresses on this subject, so it may reasonably be assumed that they are acquiesced in with practical unanimity all along the line. Nor can there be any doubt whatever that if the democ: racy should gain the necessary power it would put this radical policy into effect with the utmost prompiness. The ruinous consequences which would ensue from the sweeping away of the present system, upon which the business interests of this country ure now fivmly cstblished, can only be imigined. The vampant freo traders are in the saddle and the freedom with which they de- clare their purpose to ovorturn the ex- isting order of things removes ali doubt 18 to what they mean by their opposi- tion to protection. Some have protended that the democrats would no nothing move serious than to reform the tariff, meaning by this indefinite phrase that they would not proceed to extremes. But wheve is to bo found any watrant for such a belief? Not in the platform itself, nor in the public utterances of those who speak with authority for the democratic party. No man who has interests dependent even remotely upon the prosperity of American industries—and most men are thus interested—can look with com- placency upon a movement so radical and possessing such great possibilitios of harm. There is no sufety in placing the government in the hands of men who are so devoted toa pet theory that they would put it in practice with abso- lute disregard of the vast interests which would thereby be endangered. Mr. Watterson’s words should be kept in mind by every voter. HOW 'LE 1T? A meeting of citizens has been called at the mayor’s room Saturday to dis- pose of the pending controversy over the union depot. Inasmuch as the questions of depoi bonds and title are pending in the courts and the mayor and covncil are enjoined by a restraining order from de- livering the bonds or title deeds to the Union Dopot company, we fail to see how the council can seutlethe depot question unless the suit is withdrawn by both Stuht and Howe. There isno doubt that Stuht is ready to withdraw his suit at uny time. He has been ready to do this whenever the railroad people wanted it withdrawn. But Mr. Howe is absent from the city and if he were here we doubt whether he would withdraw the suit unless ample guaranty is given to the city that the depot and bridge shall be made ac- cessible to all roads at rensonnble terms in accordance with the contract made by the Union Depot company. — THE COUNTRY'S BUSINESS. That this is a billion-dollar country is shown by the facts given in the state- ment of the secrotary of the treasury, just made public. Duaring the fiscal yoar which ended June 80 the exports of the United States, for the first time in our history, oxceeded in value a billion dollars, au amount greater by a quarter of a miliion of dollars than the uverage annuual exports for the preced- ing ten years. The incrense is ac- counted for wmaiunly by the extraordi- CAN THEY § OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1892 nury demand fegm Burope for bread- stufls, but there:was u considerable in crease in thHt&xports of live stock, which now | comstitute & large and stodily growidlr item in our foreign commerce. It “ig' noteworthy, also, that theve is an improving foreign market for our manufadtures, the business of the last fiscal ‘yoir showing a heavy gain over the average of the last ten yorra. Tho statemoht,of the secretary of the treasury clearly disposes of the assump- tion that we niifst buy in order to seli, which is one of tho arguments against the policy of ‘protection. The free traders maintain that if the products of other countrios ave kept outof this country by n tariff we cannot seil to other countries, but the experience of the past yoar has been that while our imports declined our exports were larger than ever before. The argument of practical facts is therefore corelu- sively against the free trade assumps tion. Like most of the other arguments in opposition to protection it falls be- fore the hard logic of actunl experience. he simple truth is that other nations will buy of us acvording to their wants, regardless of our fiseal policy. If crops are short in Europe the shortago will be made up by purchasing from the United States, and it is probable that the will never bo a time when Europe will not want our breadstuffs. [luvopean countries have abhout reached the limit of their productive capabilities, and under the most favorable condiiions will perhaps never be able to supply their food wants, We need not, there- fore, trouble ourselves about the possibil- ity of a material decline in our foreign commerce, so far as broadstuffs are con- cevned, and there is every reason to ex- vect that as we andvance In manufactur- ing we shall go on increasing our sales of manufacturea products abroad. It is one of the effects of protection to stimulate the growth of industries, and this has boen dono by the existing tarift law. The statement of the secretary of the treasury says that the new in- dustries started within the last two years are giving employment to hun- dreds of thousands of people, and this one fact justifies th2 policy. The show- ing as to the results of reciprocity is in the highest degreo gratifying. Our ex- port trade with the countries with which we have reciprocity agreements increased last year over $10,000,000, and it should be said that most of these arrangements have been in operation less than a year. When all things are considered ‘the, ghin made in our for- n commerce which is divectly trace- le to reciprocity is very satisfuctory and gives assurancs of much more valu- able results heveafter.” With such facts before them the thoughtful people of the country will not accept the democratic view that reciprocity is a sham and a humbug. There could be no stronger republican campaign argument than is presented in the figuresof Secretary Foster’s state- ment, and it appeals with particular force to the farmers of the country, for it is the agricultural producers who have been most largely benefited by the increase of the country’s exports. It is a forceful vindication of the policy of the republican part T Union Pacific shops in this city are turning out locomotives of the highest quality at a cost of 82,000 apiece less than the price that would have to be paid for them in the east. This proves that manufacturing can be done as cheaply here as anywhere. ‘What the city needs is a greater number of courageous capitaiists to put their money and energy into important manu- facturing enterprises. There is capital enough in Omaha to meet all demands. Labor, both skilled and unskilled, can easily be secured. A market that is as wide open to this city as to any other is not lacking. Energy and courage only are wanted. T1OMAS UPDEGRAFY has been nomi- nated for congress by the republicans of the Fourth (Iowa) @istrict in opposition to Walt H. Buatler, the Jack-at-all- trades, whose election two years ago surprised 0o one so much as himself. Mr, Updegraff wasa member of congress from that district for several jerms a number of years ago and was one of the most able and distinguished representa- tives from the west. It is very fortunate that he has consented to accept this unanimous nomination, for it at once in~ sures the political redemption of a dis- trict long noted for its wisdom and re- publicanism. Tue tax payers of Pennsylvania, who ave paying W. F. Harrity $13,000 to act as chuirman of the democratic national committee under the delusion that he is gecretary of their commonwealth, would probably like a glimpse of the Dr. Jekyll side of this abominable political duality.

I bullt a sod house on the Clear Creck fork of Powder river, but was driven out by the Indians, 1 went over to Tongue river and again attempted to sottle, but was agan ordered out of vhe country by the samo band of Cheyenn “'rom there I went to the Big Horn, to a village of Arapahoes and there 1 campod and traded fora month. Then camo the Red Cloud outbreais, n_which the Arapaboes, Cheyennes and Sioux all joined, and my = gooas were taken away ' from mo and I was made a prisoner. 1 was imprisoned iu a tepee for three waeks, and finally ono moonlight night 1 was led out and turned loose to find my way alore to the Montana line as best I could. In 1881 I engaged in the cattle business up thore, and over since then I have been interested in and about Sheridan, and have traveled over nearly every foot of that country. Woalth of Buld Mountain, “Luss than a week ago 1 stood on the sum- mit of the Big Horn mountains with Mr. Holdrego, Inspecting tho Bald _Mountain mining aistrict of the Big Horn. 1 have had eieven years' experience us a mining oxpert, anu spent a good share of the time prospect- ing on my own account. T panned thero for gold n_ several T and every time with great success, Not a pan of dirt netted less than 4 conts, and that was at the top of a gravel stratum, 8t ‘grass root.’ That gravel stratum is said 10 be eightoen feet thick, and every one of the gulches leading from Rald Mountain is full of that gravel, *‘Here in this vial is an ounce of gold dust,” and tho captain produced a quantity of the vellow stuff thatseemed to weigh twice as much as he said iv did. **Now, that all came from one cubic yard of the coment reck up there, and it is wortu just $16. Toat rock covers @ tract about twenty miles square, and there is untold wealth there. 1 téll yow that the prospect for an immense gold-producing camp at Bald Mountain is more than good. The Fortunatus Mining company has just put in aa amalgamator there costing 25,000, and 1t will commence operations September 1. One of their boilers weighs 6,600 pounds, and they bad to make all there own roadsin order to get their machinery there. I think it probable that the whole problem will be solved inside of the next thirty days, ana there will be a stampede to the Bald Moun- tain mining distriot, and you will see a good wany going from Omaha. Several ood quartz lodes have been discovered at the head or Tongue river, and there is no question but that it will show up a ver rich mining camp. Sheridan’s Manifold Advantag s “Sheriaan holds the key to the entiro situ- ation. It I8 850 miles from Cheyenne and Just as far from Helena Tt is in the garden spot of Wyoming. There aro 500,000 acres of irrigaolo laud within a radius of tweaty- five miles of Sheridan and 1,500,000 acres 1n the Big Horn basin, only Afty miles west of thero, The B. & M. has comploted its line to Powder river, only sixty miles southoast, and will be in Sheridan by October 15 or 20 The gradors have 8,000 teams &t work and will keep out of the way of the tracklayors. They aro grading in the town now. 'That is 10 bo the division, and all the shops for ro. PAirs west of Alijance will bo tnere, It will also be the junction where the line to the Yellowstone park, 140 miles away, will start. “All this is tributary to Omaha, and every- thing and everybody will go through here in order to reach Snoridan and the Big Horn country. That country is fast settling up with intelligent, energetio people, and it seems to mo that the business men of Omaba should bogin to post up on the resources of that part of the orthwest and plan to secura tho business and trade that will be maln- tained by that section.” viaiiet S CATHOLIC SCHOOL QUESTION, Leo Anxiously Sollelt: ension in th s for the End of AlL Amerloan Church, Aug. 95.—Cardinal Ledochowski bas sent out his letter on schools to the American bishops, apropos the Faribault and Stiliwater incident. The holy see wishes uniformity of episcopal action and, sboveall, the end of all dissension. In the cases of Faribault and Stillwater the practical and intelligent action of Archbishop Iroland had wssisted the holy 500 to seize the points of tho matter und advise the Awerioan episcopacy thereon in a mauver calculated to promote uniformity of policy. The schol- astic future of tho curch in Amorica 13 said to Cepend direotly upon the American opis- conacy, Tho holy see, solicitous of the pacifination of the United States, for which Leo XIIL has a passionate fonduoess, wishes at almost any price that the dissension over the school question sball bo closed and the church bo at peaco with the stato and continue to pursue its work of sproading the light of religion. oo holy see belioves the hour has como to afiirm, both as recurds general rules and theiv practical applications, what is best to be doue upon tho scholastic questions in their ensemble. In this rospect the incident with which Mer, Ireland bas been 8o prom- inently assoclated will have its value in the United States. Mgr. Keane, roctor of Wash- meton university, has visited Cardinal Lodo- chowski at Lucerne. Seven Minors Crushed to Death.
