The democrats of a congressional convention in that state took 1,516 ballots before they could agree on a man. BoUrRKE COCHRAN is to speak for Cleveland in Towa, Pechaps he thinks ~ that the reports of his speech agninst AT Cleveland in the Chicago convention have not veached that state yet.

JUDGING by the attention which the Chicago papers are giving to Peck, the alleged humorist who is running for re-election to the governorship of Wis- consin. he must be one of the contem- plated exhibits at the World’s fair, ‘WAS more ‘“harmony” ever seen in democratic circles?

Isn’t it a sweot demo- cratic prospect? — A PROMINENT eastern journalist who has subscribed $1,000 to the fund for the corruption of the west, says that invest- ments in floaters are unsafe under the secret ballot law, He did not know that the very states in which his money is to be invested had such a law.

THE two counterfeiters who escaped from the county jail by the coal hola, hoving been given unusual freedom be- cnuse they were considered trusty, have proven that there is no honor among imen who are in the business of making Dbogus money. This will bo a shock to those who bave supposed that a counter- foiter must be the soul of honor. 4 — A NEW YORK newspaper has dis- covered that no native of Chicago evor did anything worth mentioning in liter- ature, and o Chicago papar has made the important announcement that the orly distinetively Noew York literature is that which has been suppressed by Anthony Comstock., This goes to show that thero Is no jenlousy or iil feeling between the two cities, A MEMBER of the Board of Edueation takes Tri BEE to task tor stating that Superintendent Fitzpatrick looks with favor upon the texchers’ training school, The member suys that the superiniend- ent is thoroughly oppused to it. A care- ful perusal of the superintendent’s of- ficial report will not bour out either con- clusion, He presents arguments for and aguninst the proposition, In a personal diseussion of the subject, however, Mr. Fitzpatrick yesterday expressed himself Opposed to the Lraining sehool, A DEMOCRATIC coniemporary says th:t if Dixon, the colored pugiiist, is defented by his white opponent in New Ovleans there will be a cry about ‘southern outrages” by the republicap press. Thero is no danger of that, The republicans are wot particularly inter- ested in prize fighters of any complexion. But the suggestion 1eminds us that southern man has recently declared bis belief that the success of Dixon would render it necessary for the white men of the south to carry kuives in order to keep their colored fellow citizens in a proper state of subjection. ASSOCIATED CHARITIES, The melancholy days of which the poet eang, “The saddest of the year,” With wailing winds and weeping skies, And meadows brown and sere, are not far off, and their approach should remind all that after making provision for their own wants and com- forts there is a duty to bé done in help- ing those who are less fortunate, and who must suffer unless the helving hand of charity is extended to them. It s highly probable what the work of be- nevolence in Omaha during the coming winter will have to be on a larger scale than for several years. A great many laboring peonle have found but scant employment during the summer, no moro than sufficient to meet their daily wants, and nota few of these will have to be nssisted or wholly provided for during the period when there is no de- mund for their labor. Those who are best advised vegarding the situntion an- ticipate a greatly enlarged demnand for charity, and it is not too soon to begin preparing to moet it. The “Associated Charities of the City of Omabn,” was organized for the pur- pose of instituting an efficient and thor- ough system of charitable work. Itsde- sign is to earry on-this work so that the worthy poor shall have their wants properly provided for and shall be afforded opportunities to help them- selves. Tt proposes that charity shail be dispensed in a practical way, accord- ing to the merits of every case calling forit. Promiscuous alms-giving is an evil because it encourages begging and does not discriminate between the de sorving and the undeserving. A great deal is givon in this way, in the name of charity, that is worse than thrown away. Tho Associated Charities propose to do wway, as far as possible, with this pro- miscuous giving by providing a channel throvgh which the charitubly disposed may have their benefactions digpensed with the assurance that they will get into no unworthy hands, or at any rate that the chances of their doing so will be reduced to the minimum. The AssocintedCharities is incorpor- ated, and its incorporators and officers are among our most reputable and re- sponsible citizens, Tt does not propose anew experiment, but will operate upon aplan that has been successfully tried in other cities for years. It is superfluous Lo say that the association is entitled to the fullest confidenco of the people of Omaha and the work it proposes to do ought to insure it a most generous sup. port. “Whoso giveth to the poor lend- eth to the Lord.” THE SCANDINAVIAN WEST. ‘The northwest is the home of the Scandinavians in this country. Ac- cording to a paper in the September Forum, by Prof. Kendric C. Babcock, there are in this section of the country 750,000 inhabitants of Scandanavian birth. Adding to these the second gen- eration, enumerated as native born, and the number is nearly 1.000,000. The story of the coming of this great host of penceful conquerors of praivie © and forest, says Prof. Babeock, by the side of which the early Teutonic migrations were but small marauding pienics, is an unevent- IN THE NORTH- _ful, but not an unimportant chapter in [ our history. It was in 1825, according to this authority, that the first company of Seandinaviun immigrants reached New York from Norway and made sottlement near Rochester, N. Y. In the next ten years only a few hundreds came, and it was not until 1836 that the first permanent western settlement was made in Illinois. Settlements followed in subsequent vears in Wisconsin and Towa. Swedes and Danes, as well as Norwegians, began to come, and by 1843 the stream was flowing with some regularity. The Scandinavian population in 1850 was 18,000, and ten years later it had increased to 72,000. The immigration of these people during the civil war was light; but later the movement was renewed with greater vigor than before and reached its cli- max in 1882, when the population was inerensed from this source to the extent of 105, In the five years ending with 1885, 852,334 Scandinavians arrived in the United States, in the next five years the numbe Prof. Babeock says that while famine, burdensome taxationand overpopt have been not inconsiderable factor promoting S#undinavian immigration, the natural love of adventure, the pros- pect of ownership of lund, which is practically impossible to the great majority in the old home, and the dosire for greater por- sonal independence have been tho motives of Scandinavian im- migration. “The broad, rich prairies of the northwest have had from the first an Eden-like attractiveness to these north folk, comiug as they have from a tand where mountains, marshes, thin soil and short summers made life a con- tinual struggle for ‘existence. It was the vision of level fields of marvellous fertility that could be had almost for the asking that 'cheurcd their tedi- ous wuy across the Atlantic, up the Erie canal and around the great lakes in the early days. Minnosota, Iowa, Dakota, are still tho watchwords us they come and are housohold words in almost every cranny from Hammerfest to Gjedser.” With regard to the chavacteristics of these people, who constitute a most valu- able element of the population, the pas- sion for the possession of land and for the independence that goes with it is prominent, One of the most important indirect vesults of the love for land- ownership is the hastening of natural- ization, The Scandinavian immigrant loses no time in taking out his *fivst pupers,” and he does nov delay verfecting his title to full citizen- ship. His aptitude for politics and his interest in public affairs arve natural, and no class of foreign born citizens enter upon the rights and dudes of Ameorican citizenship with more en- thusiasm or houest, intelligent appre- cintion of its high privileges. All who are familiay with the character of these people will agree with Prof. Babcock that society has little to fear from Scandinavian immigrants; certainly, as he says, not from illiteracy, for Norway, Sweden and Denmark are among the five states of Furope “nearly free from illiteracy.” A Scan- dinavian immigrant who has not a fair education is rare, and many of the im- migrants sre highly educated. They are essentially a religious people, and as a class are sober, industrious, frugal and law respecting. No people who come to the United States make better citizens or in proportion to numbers contribute more largely to the general wolfare. THE COAL COM 3INE DE The recent decision against the coal combine by a New Jersey court, the substance of which has been published in this paper, is recoived with a defiant smile by President MeLand of the Read- ing railroad, which is the lessee of the New Jorsoy Central and the Lehigh Valley. Ho says that the decision will have no effect whatever upon the busi- ness of the combine, as the New Jersey Central, the road especially considered by the court, will now be munaged by its own officers and will continue to be operated in the interest of the combine as if no decision against the lease had beon rendered. “The continuance of the joint operation of these properties is assured,” says Presidont McLeod, and hoadds that whether the leases are ulti- mately sustained or not it ‘‘will make but an inappreciable difference 1n our plans.” The manifesto of the Reading’s president is one of defiance to vhe courts and the people. Here is an extract: It will not affect the coal trade, either. No partof {tis in the hands of either tho Central, the Philadelphia & Reading Rail- rond company or the Port Reading. That is o wholly different subject. The Philadelphia and Roading Coal aud Iron company controls the output of tho coal companies aud most of the individyal operators on ail three lines by contracts in Pennsylvania, which itis au- thorized by law and its charter to make, and will continue in the future its business of putting its coal on the marketat as fair prices as it is avle to secure, I am aware of no obiigation under its charter, which was erauted by the state of Pennsylvania, which oblizates the company tosell coal ataloss anywhere, nor to sell coal in New Jersey at any price, and it is even possible for the Philadelphia and Reaa- ing Coal and Iron company to shipall its conl to tide through the state of Pennsyl- vanin without giving to the state of Now Jersey the benefit of any of this business. ‘When the leases were made President MeLeod asserted that the prices of coal would not be advanced, and upon this ground the newspapers in tho coal conl region, including all of the leading journals in Philadelphia, claimed thav the combination would result advan- tageously to the public. But it now appears that the anthracite kings are so groedy for gain that they not only disregard the complaints of the people but also defy the courts. The combine deliberately declares that it “will con- tinue in tho future its business of put- ting its coal on the markets at as fair prices as 1tis able to secure.” This simply means that 1t will demand the last cent that the people will pay for a commodity which is almost an absolute necessary of life. The conl combine will probably find that its policy of evasion will not work, The Pennsylvania courts will undoubt- edly render a decision similar to that rendered in New Jersey. The intent of the law is to prevent such eonspiracies, and the idea that the leased rouds can be operated by their own officers and still remain in the deal will soon be exploded. The constitutional provision upon which the several actions against the combine are based is intended for the protection of the public. It will be found impossible to evade both tho letter and the spirit of the law, and the time is not far distant when the attitude of defiance now assumed by the coal barons will be abandoned. It isto be rvegretted, however, that they will be able to continue their robbery of the people until they are crushed by the higher courts. FINANCIAL CONDITIONS 1IN NEBRASKA. The misrepresentations of the calam- ity howlers regardiug the financial and business conditions in Nebraska are undoubtedly having an influence abroad detrimental to the state, as indicated by un article recently printed in the Milling World, an organ of the milling interests of the country, to which we reforred a few days ago. That publica- tion found in the crop figures and mortgage paying statisties of Nebraska satisfactory evidence of prosperity, but turning from these to the statements of the people who have made it their busi- ness for several years to disparage vho material conditions hore, it was naturally psrplexed as to what to be- lieve. A botter acquaintance with the persons who are responsible for the calamity stories and with the motives which actuate them would relieve the mind of the editor of the Milling World of all doubt as to the trustworthiness of the erop figures and the mortgage pay- ing statistics, By way of showing the financial con- ditions in Nebrasla, as indicated in the bank deposits, THE BEE prints else- where in this issue a tabulated state- ment of the deposits in the state banks of Nebraska, giving the amount in each county as shown by the July report of the state bunking department and the total amount for the state deposited in the national banis, as shown by the last report of the comptroller of the cur- vency. Iu will be seen that the aggre- gate amount of deposits less than three months ago in the banks of Nebraska was over $52,000,000, the per capita for every man, woman and child in the state, according to the last census, be- ing $49.35. Cortainly this shows that the people of this state are not impov- erished, but on the contrary are in a very fair state of prosperity, comparing very favorably, we venture to assume, with those of other agricultural states. They are interesting and instructive figures, which we present, and they will repay careful examination. THE ORIGIN OF CHOLERA EXPLAINED. The Chicago Herald has a remarkable editorial article entitled “McKinleyism and Cholera.” Mauy of the ills of man- kind have been attributed to the repub- lican protective policy by democratic newspupers, but we beliove that the Herald is the first to claim that the cholera scourge in Hurope was caused by the McKinley law, Here isa para- graph from the Herald's article re- ferring to the effect which our pro- tective policy has produced: With sll their filth and pestilence and pov- | ety they are the produst of that poliey b with ropublican in- | which beits the famy. They mve'l[‘,flum to demand from the dupos of McKinlog,a refuee in this their great extremity., ‘“The McKinley bill will do its own talking* it around the eiobd.”" ¥t did, and their empty hands wore lifted , hespecuingiy toward the land that had smitten them. It did, and they answered by mweeping a trail of sor- row and deato from: Russia to London. It Qid, and the blackened tovgues of 400 corpses, corded in the deserted streots of Hamburg, protradaia hellish mockery of Mc- Kinley progress. It did, and the sea roplied Wwith a grave for thascores who made a brave race, but could notescapo the death that is leagued with MoKinley. Although this is presented asa sorious argument in behalf of froe trade we can- not assume that our readers will require a refutation of the charge. 1t would be an insult to the intellizence of any American citizen to suppose that he would believe the republican party ro- eponsible for the cholera scourge in Kurope. In the whole history of American po- litics there never has been made against any party a charge so utterly ground- less and foolish as this. If the Herald's article were a littlo less coherently writ- ten it would be reasonable to suppose that the author was u lunatic. The sub- stance of tho argument is. that the Mc- Kinley law has given the American workingmen an advantage over those of Burope, and that the working classes across the sea have thus been reduced to poverty; and as poverty is sometimes as- sociated with filth, and filth encournges the spread of cholera, therefore the scourge is due to the American protec- tive tariff, We cannot assume that any intelli- gent American reader will take a se- rious view of this remarkable argument against the McKinley law. It is pre- sented only for the purpose of showing how desperately the free traders are butting their heads against ‘the solid wall of facts. ———— EXCLUSIVE of the single county of Hudson, the state of New Jersey has given republican pluralities in the last three presidential elections. It is claimed by the democrats as a sure state for Cleveland, but it is sigmficant that they are preparing to make a great ef- fort there this year. There are various reasons why New Jersey is as likely to give her electoral vote to Harrison as to Cleveland next Novemter, some of which are set forth by the New York Sun. “The New Jersey delegation in the Chicago convention.” says that papar, “‘voted solidly against the lunacy section of the democratic platform—the free trade plaok, . Represeating a strong manufacturingcstate, they were opposed to its adoption.” The prohibi- tion vote, which has jlong been a con- sidecable factor in the politics of that state, has now in' great measure been regained by the republicans. The leg- islature that passed’the bill making valid the Reading lonso wus strongly democratic in both branches, and as this tas placed the democracy “on record as favoring the conl combine, against which there is great popular indigna- tion, it will inevitably prove damaging to that party in the coming election. These facts afford good _ground for the belief that the systématic and thorough work which the republicans are doing in that state will place it on the right side this year. Tue plan of placing the national guard under the direct supervision of the secretary of war and establishiog a bureau of the national guard in the War department is now discussed by militia officers all over the country. At present the appointment of officers and the authority to train the militia are reserved to the several states. It is thought that better results would be accomplished if the authority to control the state militia forces were vested in the War department. The national military system is regarded as dead under the present system by those who have made a study of it, and the measure which they propose may prove to be the only one by which it can be made effective. LY DEFIED, Chicago News: But the Reading combine snaps its flngers in the face of the New Jer- sey court, defies publio opinion and marks coal up another notch for September. St. Louis Post-Dispateh: President Me- Leod is not troubled by this mandate of the law. *“The decision will have as much effect as if the injunction was directed against tho Sioux ludians,” he says. Hereis open de- fiauce of the law. Call 01t the troops. Tho question av issue now is law or Iawiessnass, The Reading insurrection must be put down. Chicago Inter Ocean: Does the president of the coal combine wish the American peo- ple to understand tuat he and those with whom he is associated are as defiant of the law as the Sioux Indians recently proved themselves to be¢ If so, letus assure him that the law will be enforced against him and his associates as relentlessly as it was against the Sioux, It sounds strangely when a millionaire preaches anarchy. And defi- ance of law is anarchy, Now York Herald: Now, it necds no ar- gument to show that tho open disregard of any law is a very bad thing for any com- munity, but there are features about tho IReading’s calmly purposed offence that aro purticularly obuoxious, ‘Che president tal as i what he intended to do was in some way in the public interest. - As a matter of fact the plan is simply to levy tribute upon the entire coal consuming country 1 order to make profits for a wrecked, miswanaged and practically bankrupt road. Chicago Times: By the side of Grand Master Sweeney's foollsh remark that “ive huudred and fiftees switchmen cannot fight 8,000 soldiers,”.it may be well to piaco the insolent utterance of President McLeod, whon informed of tlwfila sion of Chancellor MeGill declaring the Rea ng loases illegal and void, **The decision’will have as much offect as if the infiinetion were directed against theSioux Indians,” said Mr, McLeod, It may be submitted to the head of the iiratical coal combinethat the United Statos as commonly been ableto enforce the de- oclsions of its courts’ even against Sioux Indians, 43 Indlanapolis Journal: The president of the Reading coal syndieats, who, according to the Associatod Press; exptesses contempt for the decision of tho nighest tribunal of Now Jersey, declaring the yombination illegal and contrary W Publle policy, and announces a purpose to disregard or evade the pronibition of the court, is the same railroad president who, a week ago, called vpon the state of Now York to enforce the laws which guar- anteo bim the right to o‘mrnw his railroad in security. New York called several thousand armed men to protect this president’s rail- road, and now he snaps his fingers at the laws of New Jersoy. It may bo necossary to call out the troops to compel trusts to obey the decrees of courts, Chicago Tribune: President McLeod of the hard coal combine is quoted as saying that the decision by Chancelior MoGill will have as much effeot as if the injunciion were directed inst the Sioux Indiaus, If not disturbed by a bigher court it would involve some changes in form of operation and in 1 dia, and they heard | personnel of the ofcers, but no bearing on ac- tual results. He thinks the fuct that as ‘‘the friends of the Reading company’’ own a con- trolling interost in the Cengral railrond of Now Jersey ‘no logal decision can disturb them in their rights.”’ No one wants to dis- wurb those gentlomen in their “‘rights,” but the public bas rights also which the eoal combine have violated, and those it is the business of the courts to conserve as against the thugs who have only a false claim of right to wreck a railrond train, or wreck tho road itself, or rob a stage coach, or burglar- ize a residence, or do any one of soverat other things which aro against the peace and dignity of the people. Now York World: It is the same old story of corporate deflance, not only of the rights of the public but of the law which is supposed to govern corporations as well as individuals. The Reading railroad has made a combination with other railroad and coal companies under which the price of coal has boen increased a dollar a ton. The chancellor of New Jersay declares the contract to be illegal and the president of the Reading says that the combination will coutinue to exist and torob the consumers of coal no matter what the courts may say. Lawlossness, taking the form of violence, has just been supprossed iu four states. 18 nov lawless- ness of defiance of statutes and tue decisions of courts equally reprehensible! e BLASTS FROM RAM’S HORN.

Hamilton of the service, It argse from a contest over the position of supervisiog surgeon gon- eral. Dr. Hamilton resigned vhat posicion to £0 to Chicago, but after an exnerience in private life he made up his mind that he wanted t return to the marine hospital service, and he brought to bear all the flu- ence that he had to procure a reappointment as supervisiug surgeon general. He was brought in conflict with Dr. Wy- man and Dr. Wyman got the ofice. Dr. Hamilton returned to the service, and he is supposed to be waiting for a chance to suc- ceed Dr. Wyman. When 1t was announced, thorefore, “that Dr. Hamilton had been summoned to Washington 1t was thougbt that bis coming might e against the wishes of Dr. Wymon. ‘The fact that Dr. Hamilton was Secretary Charles k'oster's physician and wont abroad with him a year ago, added to the fact that it was aonounced from Chicago that Dr. Hamilton had been summoned by a telegram from the secrotary, gave color to this story. Wanted the Benefit of His Experience, Secretary Foster said this morning to Tne BeE correspoudent, before the arrival ot Dr, Hamilton: ~“Aftera consultation between Surgeon Wyman and me yesterday it was determined that it woula be well for us to uvail ourselves of the knowledgo and experi- ence of Dr. Hamilton, who has been through two epidemics. He is 1 the service, vou know, and we thought it would be well to avail ourselves of his experience. So wo sent for him. Just what his duties will be we have not determined.’” Dr. Hamilton appeared to have determined that for himself later, for after a conversa- ion with the secretary immediately follow- ing his arrival he told Tue BEE corres- pondent that he would return to Chicago in twoor three days. His return may be due to adisinclination to work under Dr, Wy- mao. In answer o a question ubout a report that Russians were coming here via Canada Secretary Foster smd: *“Weare fully alive to the situation and we have reason to be- lieve that the Canaaian government intends to take precautions similar to ours to prevent the introduction of cholera. We bave communicated with the Canadiau government and that, I understand, is the assurance that we have recoived. We may find 1t necessary to send some of our trusted agents to Canada, thongh., to seo just what is being done, The attitude of Dr. Jenkins towards tho federal authorities is regarded by the author- ities at Washington as a political move. No one hus any idea that Dr. Jenkins would go so far as to_ endanwer tho health of tho peole of the United States for the further- ance of his scheme for investing Tammany with the credit of keeping cholera out of tho country.
