TuE democratic press is interesting Itself deeply in the placation of Plat but the 1dea of placating Hill has been sbandoned. Now the democrats are becoming +haky about New Jersoy, but sanguine about Illinois and Michigan. The rain- bow is still several laps ahead. THE democrats of the Fifth Nebraska district have endorsed McKeighan, but they have done it in the spirit which bodes no good to his chances of political Buccess, THERE i8 no reason to be scared about the cholera, out it is well to keep on the safe side by cleaning up everything and everybody. Disenso and cleanliness don’t get along well together. SourH DAKOTA democrats refused to fuse, after all. This is a good plan for good democrats to follow. And it’s just s good a plan for republicans. Noth- ing is ever gained by prostituting principle to policy. SOMEBODY may soon be called on to oxplain why an inspector under the Board of Public Works was enabled to draw pay for thirty-one full days in July. Did this inspector work every Sunday of that month and was he un- patriotic enough to work on the glorious Iourth? Tne seizure of political refugees from the American steamer Caracas has cuuged the United States government to order the gunboat Concord to proceed it onee to Venezuela. While no serious barm to American interests is feared, our Navy department does not propose to take any chance: WHILE muny of her rivals in trade show a fulling off in business, Omabha signalizes the close of the essentially dull month of the year by an increase in bank clearings of 424 per cent over the lust week in August, 1891 This is third in the list, and within five- tenths of 1 per cent of the to EveRY householder in Omaha should feol it to be an imperative duty to ren- der ali possible assistance tothe authori- ties in the matter of cleaning up the city. There is a very urgent mutual in- torest in this vital matter which every citizen ought to recognize. If all will do this the task of putting Omaha in ex- cellent sanitary condition can be promptly and easily disposed of without trouble of hardship to anybody. OMAnA will be well represented by ex- hibits of its business houses at the stave fair next week, aad in this our mer- chants do wisely. The state fair attracts people from all purts of the state und offers the best opportunity of the kind for showing what the business men of the metropolis of the state have. The promise is that Omaha will be better represeuted than bvor before, und un- doubtedly the results to our enterpris- ing merchants will be more satisfactory than ever. —_— THE train of Nebraska products to be sent out this year will loave Omaha Sep- tember 25, Next week the committeo of the Nebraska Business Men’s associn- tion having charge of the exhibit will meet with the officers of the State Fair association to complete arrangements Meanwhile there is still some space available for counties thut may wish to be represented and have not yet made application. Such counties should loso no time in communlcating with the sec- rotary of the Stnte Business Men's asso- ciation in this city. 1vis hoped and de- sired thatwothing shall be lacking to make this display of the products and resources of Nebraska as full und attrac- tive as possible, ‘tarmers alliance. A WICKED IMPUTATION. The World- Herald, under sensational headlines beginning with ‘‘Foul Murder —A Whole County Alliance in Kansas Arrested for u Double Crime,” publishes a story setting forth certain develop ments concorning a tragedy that oc- curred in southern Kansas more than two yenrs ngo. There can he no doubt that two Texas cattle men, William H. Gibson and Joha S. Frazier, who took their herd into Chautauqua county, Kansas, in defiance of repeated warnings from the farmers and stockmen of that region, were mys- teriously murdered by persons who con- spived together for that purpose. Two men have been arrested on suspicion of having been concerned in the deed, and it is said that they are members of the Upon this circum- stance, and the additional fact that twenty-four warrants have been issued for the arrest of other suspected men, who are nlso said to be members of the allinnce, is based the sweoping conclu- sion that the farmers alliance as an or- ganization is guilty of two of the most bratal and shocking murders ever re- corded in southern Kansas. At first view this would seew only worthy to be treated as a contemptible exhibition of the lengths to which some unprineipled people will go to make u point against a political adversary; but upon reflection it will be seen that an implied charge of conspiracy to murder, when preferiea ngainst an organization which embraces a considerable portion of the best citizenship in every locality where it is established, cannot be lightly put aside s undeserving of serious at- tention. The fact that the two men who have been arvrested are members of the alliance has no significal Even if it should bo shown that fifty men, all of them members of thatorganization, had conspired to commit murder it would be absurd to attempt to place the responsi- bility upon the farmers alliance. The character of its membership utterly re- futes the imputation. The alliance is very strong numerically in Kansas and it would be strange indeed if it did not contain some desperate men; but it is no more responsible for their decds than the democratic or the republican ty is responsible for those of the evil men who are included in its membership. We are unaiterably opposed to many of the belief and purposes of the farm- ers alliance, but we know that a belief in murder as a means of accomplishing its ends is not for an instant entertained by its members. The World-Herald im- plies a general conspiracy on the part of the alliance to commit deeds of blood and to protect from exposure the vil- lains who are the active instruments of slaug hter. Surely nothing could s more contemptible than this. We com- mend the World-Herald to the consider- ation of all lovers of decency and fair play as a journal répresenting aboutall that is disreputable in the profession upon which it brings reproach, and the political party upon whose skirts it so precariously hangs. 1T MAKES THEM SQUIRM. The New York Evening Post disposes of the report of Charles I. Peck, the democratis commissioner of labor stutis- tics of the state of New York, in a char- acteristic manner. It cannot produce one scintilla of evidence to show that this knockdown blow delivered by a democratic official in the pursuit of his duties as a statistician was not a simple presentation of fncts as he found them, but as a free trade organ 1t cannot let such damaging testimony stand unas- sailed. The Kvening Post does not at- tempt to show that the commissioner is dishonest, but it coolly and calmly as- sumes that the 6,000 manufacturers in the state of New York who answered his questions deliberately lied about the condition of their business and the wages of their employes. It says that “‘the answers are not sworn to, and even if they were no prosecution for perjury could pe had, since the parties are not giving any evidence which tne law re- quires of them,” It is difficult to cormer & mugwump free trade organ. Rather than admit the force of the statistics presented by the commissioner the Kvening Post ae liberately questions the veracity of thousands of the most prominent busi- ness men in the Empire state. It says in effect that they lied because they knew that they were sufe from prosecu- tion for perjury! Comment is unneces sary. Let the public judge for itself how wuch confidence is to be placed in the utterances of the leading organs of Cleveland and free trade. MORE PERTINENT FAOTS, President Harrison said in one of his addresses that two yoars ago there wus a conflict of predictions, but this year the people would study the facts and the prices current. This they are now doing, and the facts which demonstrate the worthlessness of vhe predictions of the democracy two years ago and the mistuken position of the party now are steadily accumulating. They come from the Treasury departwent, from the National Bureau of Stutistics and from the investigations of state officials. Never before in the history of the coun- try has there been greater industry in lection of fucts bearing upon the ons of material progress and prosperity, and they all serve to show the benefits und vindicate the wisdom of the Americun system of protection. It is important, under the cireum- stances, that much of this inforniation isbeing furnished by democratic officials, The statistics supvlied by the labor com- missioner of New York, which the free trade organs are trying hard to dis- credit or disparage, sre from a demo- cratic source, ana there is similar au- thority fur more pertinent fucts regard- ing the condition of the savings banks in the Empire state, than which there could bo no hetter evidence as to the state of prosperity with the muasses of the people, The superintendeunt of the stute bank- ing deparument of New York hus just made his semi-annual statement con- cerning the condition of the savings banks on July 1 of the present year, und it shows o gratifying state of prosperity for the cluss of people in New York who put a part of their earnings in these in- stitutions. 1t appears thut on January 1, 1880, two mouths belore the present THE OMAHA DAILY republican national administration came into nower. there wasdue to the deposi- tocs in tho savings binks of Now York 523,677,575, Large as this amount was, the workingmen have added to it, mil- lion after million, untit on July 1, 1802, it had risen to 610,560,031, ‘I'hus 1n the course of President Harrison’s adminis- tration they have increased their funds in the savings banks $36,882,436. During the same time the resources of the shve ings banks have increased to the extent of over 885,000,000 On Januar: there were reported to be positors in ihe savings banks of New York state, and on July 1, 1802, the num- ber had increased to 1, There is nothing but discouragement in these figures for those who assert that the wage earncrs of the country are being robbed by the tariff, for it is to be observed that the savings banks of New York are especially numerous aud pros- perous in the manufacturing cities, and what is true of that state s true of others. These facts bear unimpeach- able testimony to the general prosperity of the working people of the Empire state, and we venture to say that they cannot be paralleled by any equal popu- lation on earth outside of the United States. In this country the prosperous condition of the wage earners, which these statistics show, is not confined to one locality or section. It is general, and the savings bank returns of many of the states will doubtless show resuits as gratifying as those in New York. Such facts have their due weight with intelli- gent people. RECIPROCAL PROSELYTING. The eastern managers of the Clave- land cawmpaign who arve putting forth desperate efforts to raise money with which to carry the west will please take notice that the Silver League of Colorado is muking oqually vigorous efforts to raise money with which to carry the east. Up to the present time the silver men seom to be soveral laps ahead in this extraordinary race; and, while they cannot appeal to so large a constituency as the democrats can, they have the advantage of appealing to peo- ple who are fresher and more willing to give up their hard-earned dollars than the juded followers of the Sage of Buz- zard’s Bay. The latter have been there before, many a time, and tho dismal failure of the New York World's present effort as a boomer of corruption fund subscriptions proves that they are get- ting tired of that sort of thing. The Silver leagus has already raised several hundred dollars for the conversion of democrats and republicans who do not believe in free silver, and if Weaver is not elected president of the United States it will not be bacause the boomers of this fund are not sufticiently enthu- siastic. he Denver News, until recently a democratic newspaper, says in one of its cloguent appeals that *‘the sole object for which all contributions will be ex- pended will be to mail speeches and doc- uments and free coinage literature to the enst where information on the silver question is in many quarters earncstly desired.” Italso makesthe naive an- nouncement that its circulation 1s in- crensing with great vapidity. We do not know whether thecirculation of Mr. Pulitzer’s World is increasing or not, but as the News has denounced his scheme ns a ‘‘cheeky” one it is to be hoped that it will fail miserably. It evidently has not occured to the Silver league that its undertaking is of the same sort. The east is about as much in need of ‘‘education” on the freo silver © question as the west is in need of being ‘“‘carried”—this is the democratic euphemism for corrupted— for the democracy and [ree trade. There is plenty of literature afloat on both subjects. What the people want is an abundance of reliable information con- cerning the advantages of the present protective policy. They want facts, not theories, and the republican party is the only one thatis dealing in facts just now. Nevertheless it is rather diverting to see the eastern democrats trying to con- vert the west to free trade by the use of money, and the western silver men try- ing 10 raise funds for the conversion of the east to [ree coinage und Weaver. THE POSITION OF SENATOR HILL. Senator David B. Hill is again receiv- ing the attention of the Cleveland ovgans, Lither openly or by implica- tion they hold him responsible for the appgarance at this time of the report of the’ New York labor commissioner, which brought cousternation to the democracy not only of that state but very generally. The commissionor has declared unqualifiedly that the report was not made public at the instigation of Senator Hill. He says that in all the yeurs that he has been connected with the department of labor statistics Mr. Hill, whether as governor or senator, never meddied with its affairs, He never even asked for an appointment in the department, and the commissioner states that he did not know of the whereabouts of the senator when the re- port was sent out. Doubtless this is true, but the labor commissioner is an ardent friend of Sen- ator Hill, the time of sending out the report was most inauspicious for the po- litical intovests of Mr. Cleveland, and there was a coincilent in the fact that the senator was in Albany when the statistics were wmade public. Putting these things together it was easy to muke out u case against Mr. Hill, and the Cleveland organs, with probably the candidate himself, ave fully convinced that the senator instigated vhe discharge of this bombshell into the free trade demacratic camp. Unquestionably Me. Hill is quite capable of doivg such a thing, and it is the knowiege of this that gives plausibility to the suspicion. Moreover, there has been no evidence as yet that he is any more anxious for the election of Mr, Cleveland this year than he was four years ago. He has given no sign of what he intends to do in the cam- puign. It ia thought he will make a few speeches, confining himself proba- bly to New York state, in order to main- tain his party fealty, but he has given no assurance that he will take any active part, and if he should do so, it is not likely that he will show any great wmount of zeal. He doubtless realizes that whatever he should do would be regarded with distrust by the Cleveland | supporters, @@ such n fooling 18 not culculnted topimspive enthusiasm in a cavse, ol The Clovelahlf managers in New York have shown ssbeong dosire to placato Me. Hill and Me'frisnds, but that they have any sinoere confidence in them is [ ot ut ull pkbHable, So far ns Hill is they distrust and despise him, and it is équally certain -that he entertains a similar feeling“toward them. Insuch circumstances tiéra ‘can be no genuine unity or harmpny, and while Senator Hill may decide to take partin the campaign, by way of maintaining closs relations with the party and holding the alleginnce of his friends, there will be no heart in his labor so far ns M. Cleveland is concerned. It will proba- bly be knowa within a seort time what attitude Me. Hill propises to assume in the contest. Tue New York sun says: ‘‘Whether Mr. Peck’s conclusions are true or not we are not able to say; but wetrust they are true. We like to see ovorything improving and happiness on the in- crease, Yet weo are unable to see why Peck’s figures should have any great effect either way upon the presidential election. The issue of the force bill and negro domination is infinitely more important than all questions of wages or tariffs.” The Sun, as most people know, s in favor of a protective tariff und is therefore obliged to accept the force bill as an issue. 1t 1s doing its best to awaken a profound public appre- hension upon the subject of negro domi- nation, but nobody has shown any ex- citement thus far, THe Kansas City Zimes says that “every attack made upon the coal com- bine is resented by republican organs because McKinley allowed anthracite coal to be free.” The Zimes ought to employ an_exchango reader. Of course it does not know that the New Jersey logislature which passed a bill making valid the Reading iease, and thus sus- taining the infamous conspiracy, was strongly democratic in both branches. Our reckless contemporary winds up its remarkable discussion of the subject by saying: “If the courts of New Jersey cannot cope with the combine there is left one source of relief. Congress can make coal free.” What is the meaning of this extraordinary drivel? THE estublishment of a law depart- ment in connection with the University of Omaha gives that worthy and promis- ing institution a new claim upon public attention and patronage. There is no reason why the law department should oot send forth into the world many young men destined to become brilliant lights in the legal firmament. This in- dication of a progressive tendency may be the means of inducing some public spirited citizen of wealth to do some- thing in the diredtion of providing the additional room ani improved equip- ment which the rapid growth of the d mands upon the facilities of the uni- versity have made uargently necessary. mT——— SUPERINTENDENT ' PITZPATRICK has declared ifv favor of the teachers’ train ing school: His decision in this impor- tant matter has meét the approval of nearly every patron of the schools and is entitled to consideration. The board will doubtless reconsider the action taken and put the training school on a firm basis for effective work. ALTHOUGH the registration of the Chinese has not yet begun in this city, owing to the nonarrival of the neces- sary blanks, the celestials are on hand promptiy with their applications and are eagor to pe registered. They pro- uwounce the idea a good one, and that seems to be the opinion of all concerned. NEW ZEALAND, notwithstanding ite isolated condition, is haying as much misery &s other countries. Its legisla- tive council is now engaged in wrestling with woman suffrage! OTHER LANDS TUAN OUKS. The steady Russian advance in the Pamir region in Central Asia threatons to bring about serious complications on that conti nent, The country of which Colonel Yanoft and his troops have taken possession could not of itself be considered a valuable acqui- sition. It consists of barren plains situated at a height of from 18,000 1o 14,000 fect above the level of the sea, and inhabited only by bands of armed robbers. But it commands roads leading into tho territories of many pvowers. India, China, Afghunistan and Rus- sia are contiguous to it; and while many of the passes which lead inwo neighboring lands are said to be extremely dificult, more than one may be traversed with comparative ease A Russian explorer, who crussed from the Pamir into Huonza-Nugar 1 1859 re- ported the road over which he passed to pe in such excelleut order that a cart drawn by a team of horses might bave followed it without difculty. The Russian government, which is always ready with some plausible explanation for an ap- parent act of aggression, has not on this co- cusion repeated its old excuse that the expo- dition into the Pamir 1s in the interest of science, but frankly con es that it has & stategic object in wiew. Itis alloged that, since China may commiu fresh acts of unpro- voked aggression upon Russia, the latter power should be in such a position that she may beable to oversome the middle kingdom. Thisstatemeut might be accepted but for the fact that the two positions which the Russian forces have occupiea and fortified are not particularly adapted to command the Chinese borders, but aro situsted on @ possible line of advance from Russian Turkestan to Wa- khan, thus making the limts of the Kussian and Indian empires contiguous, A 3 The ameer of Afghanistan has pow ap- pealed to the viceroy of India to check the advance of Russia and the reply will be awaited with interest. The professed frienuship of the ameer for England 1s not to be implicitly trusted snd M the Indian goy- ernment should mot listen to his appeal he would undoubtedly seek an alliance with Russia. But to refuseald to him would iuvolve an advantage for Russis and a menace to the Indian empire and, therefore, England will undouvtedly use ali the diplomaoy possible to avert trouble. Mean- while Russia will continue to carry out her new plans in Asia stealthily and steadily, avolding open rupture, if possible, apoligiz- ing if she inds it necessary and then quietly awaiting & more convenient season for ag- aression, in fact, always taking the cour: desoribed by her historian, Karawsin, whon besaid: “The object aud the character of our wilitary policy bas invarisbly beea to seok to be at peace with everyvody and to make conquests without war, always keep- concorned it is not to be doubted that | | tants are too few. | that city and Germuny. ing oursslves onthe defensive, placing no faith 10 the friendship of those whose inter- ests do not accord with our own and losing no obportunity of injuring them without ostensibly breaking our vreaties with them." W The formiaable iusurrection of Arabs in the Congo state has naturally attracted much attention in Kurope, and oallad out many ex- pressions of opinion concerning the adminis- tration of that territory. Upon one point there is goneral agroement, that n much stronger government is imperatively re- quired. How 1t 1s to e secured is anothor question, A home governinent is manifestly impossiblo at present. The civilized inhabi- Therefore the state must be ruled from without. It is sugeested that Belgium shouid assume this responsibility, since it is the Belgian king who founded the state and still majotains it, and Belgian wraders are lurgely interested thers. But the people of Belglum have shown a marked reluctance toward takiag any sach step, and the present troubles, as the North German Gazotte truly says, will not commend it to them. Stili less likely to be actad upon is the proposal made by tho Vossischo Zoit- ung that King Leopold should abandon his undertaking altogether, and make a present of tho entire territory to Kranco. Tho king will scarcely give up unrecom. pensed that which has cost mm 8o dearly, and which he might get a good price for from some other power. King Leopold is not slone, however, responsible for the welfare ot the Congo. He did not alone creato the state. All the powers that were ropresented at the Berlin conference and signed the geueral act of February 26, 1885, are at loast morally responsible for the walfare of thewr creation, at least during the twenty years of their suthority overit. Why should they not co-opsrato 1n tho necessary task of establishing aund maintaining order in it, and of suppressing the slave trade, which is the prime canse of disturbance? To be sure, one does not expeot a military empire to do much through sheer benevolence, or to be greatly moved by purely moral considera- tions. And doubtless the greav European " land-grabbers in Africa cannot ‘help think- ing that if the Congo Stales should go to smash thero would be just 50 much more ter- ritory for them to seize. Yet it might pay them once to do en unselfish thing, and to stand manfully up to the moral obligations they assumed when they created the Congo State. Certainly if' they do not, or 1f in some wiay the Congo administration is not quickly and greatly strengthened, the whole enterprise will become one of the most scan- dalous failures in the history of attempts at clvilization, - e ‘The recent visit of M. Stambuloff, the Bul- garian prime minister, to the suitan, just be- fore the celebration by Prince Ferdinand of the fifth anniversary of his arrical in Bul- garia, and the remarkable attentions shown to the prime minister during bisshortstay in Constantinople, are regarded as volitical - dications of great importance. A correspond- ent of the London Times at Constantinoplo says that the visit was due to the sultan’s 1nitiative, and a Reuter dispateh to the same paper says that it took place in the face of ef- forts of the Russian embassy in Coustanti- nople to prevent it. in which M. Cambon, the Fronch ambassador, joined on the urgent entreaties of the Russian representative. Tho sultan gave agrand dinnerin M. Stambuloff’s honor, placed carriages and steamers at his disposal, announced his intention to decorate him with & bigh order, and when he left eave him a military escort to the station. Military honors were also shown the Bul- garian premier at every station through which he passed in Turkish' territory. It was reported in Sofia on his return that the sultan, during an interview at Constanti- nople, declared his veadiness to recognize Prince kerdinand as king of Bulgaria wben the favorable moment arrives, and hoped that the Bulgarian government would follow the prince’s guidance in all its acts. Tho Sofia correspondent of the Times speaks of the enthusiasm with which the prince's an niversary, above mentioned, was colebrated, and remarks how the past year has con- firmed his authority and aaded to his suc- cess, even his diMculiies having brought bim sympathy from unexpected quarters. - e The commercial importanco of the new Merwede canal to Amsterdam can scarcely be overestimated, and 1t is expected that a great impetus will be given 1o trade botween The section to the north of the Leck, which was opened with great coremonies the other day, is twenty- eight miles long, aud the whole canal, when complete, will have a length of forty-three and one-half miles, It will take the place of the old Cologne waterway, which is ouly navigablo for vessels of small wunage. The new canal, after leaving Amsterdam, crosses the Leyden Rhine, passes Utrecht.and enters he Lock noar Vreeswvk. The second sec- tion, which is sull under construction, be- gins at Vianen, opposite Vreeswyk, and finally enters the Merwedo, orie of the brauches of the Maas and Waal Delta, from which the new waterway takes its namo, a little below Gorinchem, The average breadth is over 100 feet, aud tho dopth ten feet, s0 that two of the largest Rhine steam- ers will be ablo to pass easily. This, to- gether with the fact that no tolls or duties will be chargod, afforis ground for the bope that Amstordam, whiih hus already commu- nication with the sea t\rough the North Sea canal, will now become one of the most im- portant transit ports for the products of the Ruino valley.

Domoeracy and the Tarifl Senator Morvill wn North American Review. For & whole century the American eu- couragement of the mechanical arts aud manufactures has gencrally prevailed, This encouragement bas absorbed in fixed invest- ments the greater part of tue surplus capital of the country. Outside of those engaged in agriculture it has given remuuerative ew- ployment 1o the largest vumber of American workingmen, skilled and life-trained iu the arts and manufactures, and whose products surpass in annual amount those of any other people. The demooratic party proposes that all this shall be sudaenly changed and have no consideration. The issue they tender in the coming nation l con- tost is, that American oapital aad American labor shall have no more pro- tection than foreign capital and foreign labor.
