Yet tho South Six- teenth streot viaduet has been pro- nounced unsife, and such peing the case it must either be rebuilt or elosed.

One of the most influential newspapers in the state of New York, the Roches- ter Post- Brpress, an independent jours nal, with a tendency toward democracy of the hetter sort, has this: *‘We bo- lieve that an finmediate reform ot the tariff on free trade lines, which is the policy professed in the democratic na- tional convention, would produce grave business disnster to begin with, what- ever good results might come from the new systom in the future. The pro- tective policy has baen in vogue since 1780; the development of the country has been forced; miliions of people have immigruted antt found employment; cap- ital has boen turned into unwonted en- the Dusiness of the country L life have been adapted to existing conditions, It stands to reason that any sudden change would be disas- trous,” ¢ This is a fair statement of the position of thousands of people who favor tariff reform, but who do not favor the present free trade policy of the democratic party. The free trade plank in the democratic platform does not by any means command the approval of all who are opposed to the provisions of the Me- Kinley law. This is well understooa by those who are endeavoring to substitute the “‘force bill” for the McKinloy bill us an object of attack for campaign pur- poses. Certainly not more than half of those who habitually vote the demo- craic ticket are propared o favor free trade. They can stand tariff reform, but when free trade is proposed they are disposed to inquire what would be tho consequences of such radical change. It thus appears that those who op- posed a free trade declaration in the Chieago convention were not ignorant of the fuct that a considerable element of the democratic party would not favor an attack upon the protective principle. Upon this issue the party isdivided, and as the *“force bill” is not a living issue it cannot be reasonably expected that it will rouse any enthusiasm. Compara- tively few people know what is meant when the *“force bill” is referred to. There is nothing to excite them in the fact that a measure introduc in the last congress to protect the ballot box was killed. They will find it impossible to see how a campaign can be made out of such material. It will be found that a very consider- able element of the democratic party will not accept free trade. Even thoso who favor tariff reform wili prefer the present protective law to the adoption of a systom that would bring disaster upon the industries of this country. issue NEBRASKA ON WHEELS, The committee of the Nebraska Busi- ness Men’s association having charge of the preparations for sending out train No. 2of Nebraska products, will meet with the officers of the stats fair at Lin- coln, September 8, when final arrange~ ments for the display will be made. The train will leave Omaha September 25, and will travel through a different sec— tion of the country from thatof last year. A fine exhibit is already assured, but there is some space yet to be filled, and counties that desire to thus advertise their resources and have made no pro- vision tor an exhibit should make hasto todo so. Itjoughtnot Lo be necessary to urga the importance or the duty of mak- ing this second exhibit of Nebraska on wheels as fuil and complete a display of the resources of the state as it is possi- ble to get together. It is intended to malke it more extensive than that of last year, and there should be nothing lack - ing to render it more attractive. Thers can be no question as to the success of last year’s experiment. It might not be eusy to trace to it any direct results, but that there were benefits from it does not admit of a doubt, and of sufficient value to fully repuy the cost. Butat any rate enterprises of this kind are not expucted to bring an imme- diate return, They sow the seed for a future harvest, and the train which Ne- braska will send out this year, if it be freighted with such an exhibit of the products and resources of the state as can be made, will not fail to bring profitable roturns in the not far future. There is no better plan for making the people of other sections of the country. from which we expect to obtain populu- tion, familiar with the capabilities of Nebraska, and it must be made as com- plete an exhibit of our resources as possible, THE HO. MONEY SUE, The question of maintaining a sound and stable currency, every dollar of which, paper or coin, issued by the government shall bo as good as any other, must not be lost sight of in the pending campaign. It is only loss im- portant than the question of maintain- ing the American system of protection, which the democratic party has de- clared in its national platform to be a fraud and a robbery. The fact must be kept prominent in the attention of the voters of the coun- try that the democratic party is com= mitted, through the action of its repre- sentatives in congress, in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. That record shows these facts: On March 21 the vote on the Blund bill in the house was 130 democrats for and 81 against the measure, a majority of 49 in fuvor of free silver. At the same time 67 republicans voted against the bill and only 11 for it, the republican majority agninst the measure being 56, It was this almost unanimous repuolican vote in opposition to the Bland free sil- ver bill that defeated it. A zain on July 18, when the Stewart senate bill, an ex- treme free coinage measure, was voted on in the house, it securea a democratic majority of 28, and it was defeatod by the nearly solid vote of the rapublicans. It was the devotion of the small republican minority to sound tinancial prineiples which on both these occasions saved the democracy from fitself, vut none the less the party was distinetly committed to the free coinage ol silver und it cunnot escape from this record. Nor do all of its leaders o to do so, for Spenker Crisp and Congressman Me- Millin of Tennessce have besn telling their constituents that the free coinage of silver hus not been defeated but unly postponed, These men, who represent the now dominant olement in the demo- oratic purty, believe that if the democ- racy should secure control of the gov- ernment it would open the mints of the country to the silver of the world, and that is the belief and the desire of nearly overy democrat in the south and of a majority of the party in the north. The fact that My Cleveland belongs to the minority eloment of the party that is opposed to this policy is not sufficient assurance that it would not prevail in the event of democratic success noxt November. his is not the only danger to the muintenance of a sound and safe’cur rency that would come from democratic success. That party has declared in favor of repealing the tax on state bank issues, and thus virtually for a restora- tion of the wild-cat currency of a third of a century ago. At least ona bill was introduced in the house of representa- tives, subsequent to the Chicago con- vention, for this purpose, and it is un- questionable that the democracy as a party favors such legislation. Ever free trade could hardly work greater injury to the peoplo than would a re- turn of the stats bank currency. No- body who remembers what tho char- acter of that currency was before the war will need to be told that its restora- tion would be one of the gravest finan- cial evils with which the country could be afllicted. It would inevitably result in such aisaster to ali interests as vis- ited the country in 1837 and 1857, the panics of which periods were directly due to un enormous inflation of worth- state bank currency. ‘ee coinagoe of silver and the restora- tion of stato bank issues are the cu rency “‘veforms” which the democratic y favo The first would reduce the monetary system of the country to the single silver standard, while the second would open the way to wide- spread fraud which would fall heaviest upon those least able to bear the loss— the farmers and the wageworkers. TRIBU Abundant testimony has from time to time been given through the columns of THE BEE as to the rich resources of a territory tributary to Omaha in the Big Horn vegion of Wyoming. While it is true that Nebraska's resources still invite development and that thousands of acres of good soil in this stase are yet untilled 1t is equully true that the inter- ests of Omahnas o commercial center and distributing point require that attention be given to every promising new field that is naturally tributary to this city. Makingall due allowance for the enthusiasm of those who are inter- ested in the undeveloped country to the novthwest of us it isevident that the field offers inducements to the Omaha capitalist and that it may be made pro- fitable to the manufacturing and trade interests of this city. A soil of extraordinary fertility and productiveness and mineral resources of rich promise will make the Big Horn region a source of wealth to those who shall finally pluck up the necessary cour- age to apply themselves to its develop- ment. The enterprise that does this should be Omuha enterprise, and this city should reap the advantages which would naturally vesuit from being first in the field. The profitable employ- ment of local capital and the extension of the market for local products of all kinds would be an adyantage to this city in many ways. The watter is worthy of eful investigation, TH REATNESS OF 10WA. The majestic growth of our eastern neighbor 1s one of the sources of pride of the west and the wonder of strangers. And yet there is nothing irregular nor abnormal about that growth. Towa’s progress has been not like a feverish fitful pulse, but like the steady current of health. More than any other state is Towa typical of the entire country. Itis the great average state. Its rate of in- crease of population has been during the lust decade exactly the same as that of the United Sta a whole, and its rank, tenth, remuing the same. Chiefly of an agricultural sort, its resources aro developing rapidly in the lines of manu- facturing and commerce. There are no large cities and it is not likely that there over will be, on account of the sit- uation of the state and the character of its soil. But there are large prosperous towns bearing the substantial signs of prosperity, comfort and happiness. The growth of population in the last decade has been vhenomenal when one con- siders the vastavmy of restless immi- grants who left for better lands, and seldom found them, and the adverse legislation of over-wise statesmen and politicians. And her growth in wealth hus been very much out of proportion to her growth in population. A mero glance may bo cast at Towa’s claims to greatness. First of all, Towa bousts the highest rank in education. The proportion of illiteracy is smallest there of all the states in the union, There are more Iowa students in colleges of that and other states in proportion to population thun any other state can boast. This educational distinction Towa has proudly enjoyed for twenty years. In material resources her prowess is great. ‘Uako the great cereals, for ex- ample, corn, oats and wheat. The Towa crop of corn in 1839 was one-sixth of the entire crop of the United States and was greater by 116,000,000 bushels than that of the nearest state, Illiaois! In oats Towa ranks a close second to Illinois and her average per acre is highest of all. The climate precludes extonsive whoav growing but the rank of the state is tenth and her average yield is eighth. Wuen all the cereals are put together Iowa is ensily the first agricultural state in the union, both in amount and value. In stock her record is excellent,hor suprem- acy in hog-vearing having been estub- lished for years. Yot it is not alone for material re sources, the beauty of her rolling prairies, sparkling rivers and rugged hills that we admire and praise lowa. It is for the sturdy stock of men and women, born and reared on her bosom, who within and without the state have preserved the traditions of the Puritans for intelligence, emphasis snd zeal, which may lead into too great punctili- ousness at times but ever point the way to honor and virtue. If each of the United States were a8 strong in moral and in- tellectusl vigor as Iowa this would be u groater nation. Iowa while an average state in popnlation and growth is supreme in tRaTquilities which mako nations great P — = THE 4N 'Y FAIR, The Douglas eounty fair will open to- morrow, and "fipre is promised the finest display fn,all departments ever made heve. Theitarmers of the county have shown uHual interest in this year’s fair and will make an exceptional display. The floral exhibit will also be uncommonly l#¥is and fine, and the art department will be a most attractive feature. For those who are interested in racing, and almost everybody is, thero will bo abundant entertainment. In short, thero is nssured the most ex- tonsive and intoresting fair ever held by Douglas county, The faiv association has vbeen liberal in the matter of premiums, and it has also made generous preparations for nc- commodating the public. It should be rowarded with a liberal patronage. Theso annual exhibits are valuable in the encouragement. they give to all classes of exhibitors to seek the highest attainment in their respective lines, while for the genogal public they are both instructive and entertaining. They shouid therefore have such generous popular support as will not only insure their regular recurrence but also their stendy improvement. A MOVEMENT is now on foot among the packers of South Omaha, Sioux City and Kansas City with the object of securing relief from freight discrimi- nations by which Chicago is benefited atthe oxpense of the Missourl river pucking centers. The cause of com- pluint is not new, but heretofore no ac tive measures have been taken to cor- vect the evil. Itis manifestly unjust that the Chicago packers should be able toship their products to the Pacific const ub as low rates as are accorded to South Omaha, while rates to the eastern seaboard are ve much higher from here than from Chicago. It is well kuown that live stock can be bought but little cheaper by the Missouri river vackers than by those of Chicago, and for that reason the discrunination is a great hardship. It is believed that united action on the part of those inter- ested may bring reliet, and the proposed organization of Missouri river packers for that purpose would seem to be the proper initial siep. Trie annual engampmont of the Ne- braska Grand Army of the Republic, which opens at Grand Is'and today, s to be,memorable among the reunions of the vetérans of this state. A very largeatfehdance is expected and the amplest preparations have been made for the eptertainment of the old soldiers and all who wiil be attracted to the encampment. The daily exer- cises will be of an'interesting character and if good welitfier prevail the week should be one of ‘rare enjoyment to the men who meet to éxchange memories of war days and consult together rogard- 1mg their interests and welfare. THE BEE trusts that every expectation of the veterans in gonneetion ‘with this reunion will be realized and it heartily sympathizes with the words of President Harrison, uttered a few days ago ata reunion of old soldiers: “God forgive the heartlessness of that American in the bright day of prosperity and unity who can hegrudge to any of you the just dues of your nard service.” SRE is tobe a hot fight agdinst George D. Perkins in the Eleventh lowa congressional district. Dan Campbell is the fusion candidau and is opposed by the Sioux City Tribune, the most prominent demo- cratic paper of the district.

VICTORY WILL THN BE Party Wreckers and Ghost Dancors Res buked by the Republican State Press and Corporation Politicians Admonishe Get to the Rear. Crote Vidette: The success of the repub- lican party is of greater importance than the gratification of any one man's ambition Had any other equally as reprosentative a republican made the samo address beforo the central committeo as thut made by Mr. Rosewater the members would have listened to it. but 80 great is the onvy of many re- publican leaders for the great Omaha editor that they attempt to go contrary to the 1deas advanced by him, whon they know by so doing they court defeat. The fact that Mr. Rosowator has 5o often pointed out tho woakness of the party anu ils eandidates, and had his opinion maintained by the peovle, has created a faction that is gov- ernod only by their jealousy of his success in that line. The selfishness, the hooting and the yell ing that characterizod the state conveation every time anythiog was dono that did uot please an element that has its central point in Lincola was repeated at the mootig of the stato contral committeo last Monday. This gang of political hacks infests our stato capital, and oxtends into nearly overy county in the South Platte country. They force the nomination of one of their neelers for an office, regardless of tho effoct such a nomi- nation will have on the party. The history of state politics does not record whers they were ever governed by one patriotiv impulse. ‘There have been many candidates before our state conventions who were at any time will- ingtowithdraw in the interests of harmony and purty succoss, but never a one backed by that political banditti at Lincoln. 1f you attempt to show that their candidate is without principie or integrity, devcid of honor or respousibility, they simply wave their hand and say that Omaha or Tur Bre is righting him, and with that leave tho matter drop. It is cratifying, however, that that element was thoroughly routed at the state convention, and good republicans will hopo that the defeat thero administered will be permanent. Thoy made another attempt to capture coutrol of the central committee, but were again repulsed, oven though they did succeed in getting one of thoir cappers in as secrotary—a man who lives on just such crumbs aropping from the party table. Sore over these successive defeats, this gang 1s now preparing to knife the head of the ticket, and open boasts to that _offe were made in Lincoln last Monday and Tue day. Two of the republican papers there, owned by these harlequin, have alrcady begun todisciiss the resuits of the possibility of the election of our lieutenant governor and the defeat of the governor. The friends of Mr. Mujors wanted him togo on the ticket to “show IRosewater” thatin that position he coula run sevaral thousand votes ahead of Mr. Crounse. Such & sentiment can mean but one thing, and thatis just what this gung is willing to do. They had a candidate for chaivman of the central committee who would have taken that position with the ac- complishing of that eud solely in view. The better element of the republican party is struggling to got on top, and thev hayo now a good foothold. Thoy propared the best state ticket on the 4th inst. that was ever presented to vho state, and if uny por- tion of it is defeated it will 'ba through the effors of thoso leeches at Lincoln who have lived aud grown fat all these years off the party in geveral. 1t 1s against these parties that Tne Bee is uking its fght, sud Mr. Rosewater is right. They may call bim the *‘Little Bobemian,” 0ss,” “Dictator,” or anything they wish, but they caunot hide the real issue. Their anger and wrath only shows now near the truth is being told. Red Cloud Chief: This paper has differed at times widely vith Editor Rosowater in many things politically and otherwise, but in his fight for a clean republican ticket he is pre-eminently in the right. No man whose record {s notabovereproach should be foisted upon the public for political honors, York Times: It should be understcod that the exght electoral votes of Nebrasku will not determiue the result. ‘L'he party wreckers in this state may succeed in delivering our vota o the enemy, but that will not cut much tig- ure in the result. Comparisons are odious, but the Times is free Lo say that there aro mon who are fight- ing Rosewater most bitterly whom the repub- lican party could dispense with much easier than with Mr. Rosewater. Every sensible man knows, bhowever, that we need all of them thus fall. Yesterdny the State Journal read Mr. Rosewater right straight out of the repub- lican party, body and breeches. The posi- tion of tho' Journal plainly stated and sum- med up issimply this: If we have Iose- water in the party he will run it, therefore let us kick himout. If we can’t have vic- tory without. Rosewater let us have defeat. A republican victory with Hosewater as national commiticeman means trouvle for the Lincolu posimaster. Merrick Gounty Republican: The vucancy in the oftice of I1 ‘utenunt governor, by reason of the ineligivility of Mr. Tate, was filled ‘Tuesday by the state central committee, the houor falling upon Tom Majors, the vrosent acting governor. That Majors was nominatea contrury to the expressed wishes of a large number of republicans cauuot be deuied. The objections which were successfully urged agamnst his nominativn for first place on the ieket apply with equal force to is eleyation to second place, namely that a campaign in his behalf would be made oue of defeuso and deuial of numerous chargs brought forward by the opposition. And such charges are uot confined to mere as- sertion that he is a back number in Nebraska politics, but seriously question his ofticial record. The ground taken by a large portion of the republican press of the state that the party cannot aflord to conducte campaign this year in defsnse of any of its nominees we think is well taken. Our ticket 18 between two tires and needs to enlist the unqualified support of its voung and newer element as well as to reclaim the allogianco of many who have left the party in tho past four years because of this effort of ringsters and politicians to everiastingly sboulder upon them party hacks and plisut tools of corpor- ations. Such nominutions are indeed giving “igig and comfort to the enemy, aid Mer- rick county’s ring and even her central com- mitteemen endorse them.

Tato saved the state contral committee the troubleof de- termining his eligivility to the oftice of liou- tenant governor, e tendered a resignation immediately upon the orgauization of that body, stating that it was more important that ‘the republican party should win than that he bo lieutenant governor, and tnat as long as there was the slightest’ question of bis_cligibiity ho could not accept the nomination. ~ Now comes Tom Majors, against whoso candidacy thers are charges decidedly more grave than that of being o foroign bora citizen, but ho does not refuso to accept as long as thero Is a broath of sus- picton against him.
