This city has never scen its equal. THE fuct might as well be admitted. Omaha is coming to the front at a 2:05¢ @ait. IF RAIN and sunshine can insure a good corn crop, the Nebraska harvest ought to be a bountiful one this year. Tod PLATT gave to the Herald re- porter a vory sensible and loyal inter— view,and republicans will admire him all the more for it. OMAHA citizeus ought to feel enough pride in the state fair to endeavor by their attendance at Lincoln this week to make it a complete success. ngs the sap- phires in the floor of the union depot are very bewildering and dazzling to the eyes of the unwary stranger. mournful figures gave the democracy n quick boost *‘through the slaughter house” und are now hastening it toward that “open grave” of which Henri Watterson so wisely spoke. Toe owlish Boston Journal observes that a good candidate to not nominate is the *‘good fellow, whom everyone calls by his first name,” ete. But we fear the Jowrnal will be shocked again this year. THE true condition of the wood pave- ments is apparent immedistely after a heavy rain. The descending water washes the dirt out of the numberless eags and holes, and exposes them in all their ugliness. T St. Paul eapitalists who have in- vested in the asbestos mines of Montana and are preparing to build an extensive factory in St. Paul have set an example that ought to be followed by Omaha’s men of money. THE Sioux City papers talk a great deal about Omaha receiving a secret re- bate on hog product rates to Chicago. There is probably nothing in this story for the South Omaha packers are cer- tainly as earnest in the fight against Chicago injustice as are Sioux City packers. — THE Labor day parade was a success and reflected credit upon the committee of arravgements. Popular interest in the holiday was shown by the large crowds that witnessed the.parade. The celebration was creditable in every re- spect and Labor day hus increased its claim to publie favor. Towa will see a grand carnival of joint debates this year. All the con- gressional candidates will be at it and it is now being rapidly extended to all the electors uud ull the state ticket candi- dates. If it keeps on, by election time we shall see every schoolhouse ablaze with the light of kerosene lamps and oratory. THE municipal saloon project in Sioux Falls has been killed by the city fathers, The only strange thing about it is that such an idea should have been enter- tained at all. The evils of prohibition rum may be great, but the notion that they can be cured by means of a *re- spectable” saloon muanuged by the municipality is simply absurd, — Tue anniversury of the battle of Sedan was celebrated Sunday by the Germans of this cily in an appropriate manner. Their joy over the resuit of “that battle is not because of the victory over the French alone, but on account of the lusting peace ivassured to Ger- many and all Burope. There is no na- tion or veople more peace-loving than the Germuns.

It will not ba a diffi- cult matter to impress upon the public | the great importance of Nebr. resentation among the stity the great Columbian exposition. We cannot afford to 1ag bohind sistar states | in this regard. Unfortunately there is a specios of political crankism that feeds on a wholesale detraction of this and other western states. These slanders have done more to retard our material growth than any other active influsnce. Thay attack us at » vital point. Pros- pective investors do not o to the trouble of investivating the true condivion of things. They simply pass over and go on to localities whose people delight in sounding the praises of their state and in m king it profitable for capitalists to invest with them. For these reasons and many others the Nebraska exhibit at the World’s fair must show to the people of this country that this state is the garden spot of earth; that Nebraska corn has no equal; that her small grain of all Kkinds is ns good as any; that her erop acreago is increasing largely eovery yoar; thut hor producess are prospering while their land increases in value; that she has muny untilled acres yetawaitin ¢ the olowshare and that she offers une x- amplod inducements to immigration. Little is known of Nebraska munufac- tures. We must show to the world what wo make nnd the limitless possibilities of this state in all branches of 1ndustry. In short, our resources and our products of whatsoever nuture must be put to the front. 1t is the greatest opportunity” ever presonted to the state. ['rom 1880 to 1890 the population increased over 134 per coent, an achievement won by indi- vidual olfort on the part of the citizens of this state. But the conditions are such that a stilt greater increase in pop- ulation and wealth may reasonably be expected during the present decade: In order to do this, we must tell the worla what we have within our 76,000 square miles. There are thousanis of people in the United States who believe that Nebraska is one part desort and the other part savage, with here and there a civilized settlement, We must tell them the facts, The revelation will open their eyes and finally we may in- duce maay of them to bacome citizens of this state. A merchant who expects to prosper must advertise his wares. A stute that expects to grow must show to the world her advantages and resources. This 13 what the World’s fair is for. The duty of the state is plain. THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. Today the doors of the public schools of Omaha open to receive the children, and the prepavations of the past week will end with the entrance of the pupiis upon their work. This day is not with- out peculiar and pleasant feelings for those who have long since left the du- ties and tasks of the school, as pupils or as teachers, while to the child it isa day of feverish excitoment and glad an- ticipation. There are millions of men and women in America who would give almost anything to fec! ngain the same edstatic thrill of delight as in the old days when the school bell called them away from vacation and to their studies. The schools of Omaha today would be revelations to the school masters and pupils of two or three decades ago. This city takes especial pride in its schools, its buildings, its teachers, pupils and entire educational system. And as the result, our schools have reached a de- gree of excellence unsurpassed by the schools of any other city in this country. There ave sixty school buildings here with an enrollment of nearly 30,000 pupils and 800 teachers. The reason this city has such good schools lies in the fact that our appreciation and pride in the schools have taken the practical manifestation of fine buildings, strict scrutiny of applicants for positions, and high salaries paid to the teachers. It is afact that Omaha is the Mecca of public school teachers, because of the salaries paid and the conveniences and liberality of the school system. ‘The end, object and actual effect of this system, with the spieadid, loyal backing of the people of Omaha, has been and will be more and more to pro- duce trained men and women equipped with the best weapons for life’s work; to render them intelligent and honor— able citizens. THE NORTHWEST AND CANADA. The address by Joseph Nimmo before the commercial convention at Grand Forks was a fine argument in behalf of American interests. It appears, says Mr. Nimmo, that the entire trade of the United States with Canada is less than one-fifth that of the arid region with the rest of the union. The arid region of the United States is the most pro- ductive region in the world so faras mineral wealth is concerned. Its chief products are gold, silver, copper, lead, cattle, horses and wool. The value of exports of precious metals from that re- gion during the latest year of compiled statistics was as follows: Gold, $33,175,- 000; silver, $75,417,000. The imports into the arid region are almost entirely of an agricultural char- acter. The value of agricultural im- ports into Canada from North Dakota during lust year amounted to $20,000,- 000. These imports wera chiefly from the states bordering on the arid region on the cast and consisted manily of wheat and flour. The fact that Montana i a great mineral producing state, while ber agricultural production is limited, and that North Dakota is not a mineral state, while she has great agricultural rosourcos, may bo taken us proof that commereinl exchange between the two countries would be advantageous. Mr. Nimmo says: ‘**North Dakota farmors must all be fully aware of the fact that by abolishing the protective duties on their various products which I have enumerated they would encounter a very lnigo Canadian competition not only:in their own markets but also in the markets of St Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, while they would secure no reciprocul market of any considerable value in Manitoba,” This is uudoubtedly a fair statement of the case. “Under existing cireum- stances,” says Mr. Nimmo, *‘free trade would be u very great benefit to Mani- toba, hut exceedingiy disastrous 1o the | on the stump by his brother, who is & | | agricultural interests of the American | democrat. | northwest.” “The population of Mon- tana,” he saye, ‘‘is now about 150,000, which I think is in excess of the popu- lation of Manitobs, and I think that no intelligent person in the northwestern | section of the country ean entertain a doubt that the growth of Montana in wealth, in population and in commerce will be much more rapid than that of | Manitoba,” Tho substance of Mr. Nimmo's argu- ment is that free trade betwoen the United States and Canada would be damaging to our interests. He is un- doubtedly right, nnd we do not believe that his conclusions will be disputed by any recognized American nuthority. A BENEFICENT MOVEMENT. A convention of delegates represente ing the local building und loan associa- tions of Nebraska will be hold at Lin- coln tomorrow. The primary object of the convention is to form a state league of co-operative societies for mutual ben- efit and protection, to compare methods, and by an interchange of experiences simplify, if possible, existing systems of co-operative endeavor, Building and loan associations repre- sent one of the most important economic movements of the present time. As incentives to thrify they are unsurpassed, while as factors in the growth and stability of a community their worth 18 universally appreciated. To the great army of breadwinners the principles of co-operation which thoy embody and practice afford relief from the heavy burden of rent. Authorities estimate that one-third of the earnings of working- men 18 taken for rent. The rule upplies to the skilled as well as the unskilled workmen, for it is a well established [fact that the loca- tion and size of the rented home gauges the earnings of the occupant. The burden of rent is not only an. ever- present drain on the energies of the workman, but it alsodeadens the natural desire to beautify the surroundings of a genuine home. A movement calculated to banish the burden of rent and at the same time give permanency to habita- tion commends itseif to the active support of states and communities. So far from being an exporiment, building and loan associations are an unqualified success. Last year -they added 10,000 homes to Philadelphin’s building roll, and have in thirty years aided 65,000 workmen in securing homes of their own in the Quaker city. In New York state co-operative societies represent an amount of invested capital far exceeding the deposits of the state savings banks. Massachusetts reports 110 societies with assets of over $12,000,~ 000, central states is amazing, Ohio alone having nearly 200,000 members and assets exceeding $50,000,000. Co-operative building in Nebraska has been retarded by speculative con- cerns, which, taking advantage of the popularity of the system, drummed the state, securing hundreds of victims by false promises. Notwithstanding the prejudice engendered by sleek swind— lors, legitimute co-operation has made considerable heudway. In less than o dozen years sixty associations have sprung up. They represent today $2,000,000 of assets and have built 1,500 homes for their members. The projected.state league can do much toward spreading the beneficent principles of co-operation. A good be- ginning has been made. By a union of common interests it is possible to ex- tend the benefits of co-operative homo building to every community in the state. A state league, energetically managed,can materially aid in excluding fraudulent concerns, assist stute officers in enforcing the law, and by urging fre- quent state inspection of gll associations, insure honesty and safety, the basis of permanent success. THERE is u big muss in Randall’s old district in Philadelphia. Two yearsago Richard Vaux was regularly nominated by the democrats and beaten by William McAleer, also a democrat, who was his only opponent. This year the regular domocratic convention nominated W. W. Ker, while a bolting delegation met and nominated McAleer, and, strange to say, all the democratic papers support the latter. Tt looks very much as if the time was ripe for an able and honest re- publican to carry the district without trouble, and the mugwump Times ad- vises such a nomination. For years the republicans of that district made no nomination on accountof the protection- ist views of tne great Randall. But they are now determined to force the fighting and have all confidence in elect- ing their nominee, THERE is quite a fight in the Seventh Georgia district. A prominent demo- crat, Seab Wright, has been nominated by the people’s pirty of that district for congress and the Atlanta Constitution is shouting with all the force of double leads for him to decline. Republicans have not much interest in that districy, for in 1890 they succeeded in having counted only 638 votes out of 20,000, BLAINE'S opinion that absolute prohi- bition of foreign traffic shouvld be pro- claimed isa thoughtful and sensible one, worthy of the man. Cowmmerce is of trifling importance whoen weighed agaivst the value of the lives of the American people. If President Harri- son hus the power to do it sucha pro- clumation will probably be issued.

Rochester Demoorat., Tho workingmen of this country had $1,- 620,000,000 in the savings banks in 1890, The workingmen of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales had $436,000,000 on deposit. The population of the United States in 1890 was 62,622,250 and of Great Britian 87,800,000, T'hat is to say, the United Kingdom, with a population more than half as large as that of the United States, has only a little over one- quarter the amount of deposits in savings banks that this country bas. These figures are zood for Amerioan working peopie to ponder over. . A ERIRE Publicity as a Cure for Corraption, Herbert Welh in the September Forum. The specific remedy for tho serious abuse existing in tho irresponsible and fraud-con- cealing methods pursued by political cam- paign committees will be found in the en- actment of laws in all the states, possibly also of a federal law, requiring political committees to publish at the conclusion of a campaign full statements, duly attested be- fore a notary, giving an account of all money eived and disbursed by them 1n the pros- ecution of their work. 1Itis not sufficieut to mako such a requirement of & candidate, as is done by the new York law; it should be required of committees, for with these the main danger lurks. Michigan has sucha law, which is part of that state’s new aud excellent ballot reform law. Massachusetts, thanks to the urtiring devotion aud ability of her strong band of reformers, after sev- oeral futile atlempts. obtained an excellent law during the past wiater.

The men' were camped not 100 yards from the house. The children returned to the house ang;had their aunt go with them, and when she saw lvans she said: “How are you Cheis?" Evans turned to Sontag and sal “We may as well go tothe bouse now,” which they did. 5 As they approached the house Eliis met thera and said: “How do, Charles?” Livuns, after » minute's puuso, replied: *1 will shake hands ‘with you, Sam, though I ought not to.

The only question now to be decided before the great campaign debates open up is argument shall Do (hree-cornered or not. It issaid that Mr Motton wants to get in, and surely the re- his making an exnibition of his free trade faliacies, According to General Van Wyek, ‘Mr. Morton is wolcomo to step in, #o all that is necessary to insure the success of the greatest political show on earth s to arrange the details—that is, in the prevailing New Orleans parlance, put up the stuft and come to the center. Just to add to the interestof the campaign, Damn-the-Canstitution Shrader has issned a challenge to Tom Majors, -Iu sending out this defy the indepenaent statd committeo has couched it in language befitting the emergency and the man whom they propase to throw Into the breach. Shrader is one of the proatest calamity howjers in the state, and the challenge siarts out with this doleful wail: “‘Weare on the verge of an impend- ing revolution, In the eities and towns lockouts and strikes threaten the peace of society. Labor is everywhere discontented. Stagnation 1n business confronts us on every hand. Crime and pauperism aro rapidly on the increase. Capital is concentrating into the hands of the few. The rich are growing richer, the poor growing poorer. Mort- gages cover tha face of this richest of all lands. The cause muet be discovered and understood." Congressman Kem thought he was a smooth man and his trick to deceive the re- publicans by advertising Whitehead to speak at his meotisgs was quite cute, consfdering the source. But Matt UDaugherty caught onto the littla red-houded rooster's gameo and called him down. Kem must either tote fair or back down. General Van Wyck stands squarely upon the platform of the people’s party, but he is not & communist. At Grand Isiand the other night he had occasion to leave his room temporarily and when he returned ne found two men comfortably snoozing in his oed, ground tnat it was a combination for purposes of monopoly, the two slevpers hav- ing evideutly entered intoa conspiracy to oppress and defraud the weak. The ““Disciples of Harmony" of Peru have organized an orchestra, with the editor of the Peru Gazette as sesretary. This or- ganization has nothing to do with politics, Down 1n Nebraska City they refer to Billy Bryan as Young-Man-Afraid-of-Watson. The Crete Vidette is one of those papers which doesn’t believe in calling harsh names, ana so 1t refers to Rip Snorter Bill Deoh as the “lily of the valley farmer.” William’s friends wiil appreciate that. Tho republicans of Clay county have raised a campaign fund of $1,500 and are stiil adding to it. And they haven't a field us wide as two states from which to solicit subscrip- tions, nor have they tho aid of a ‘‘popular” newspaper, ‘The republican editors of the Fourth con- gressional district will get togother at Lin- coln Thursday. Then look out for trouble— in_the enemy’s camp. Accordine to the Plattsmouth Herald Mor- ton and Goring will receive more votes in Cass and Otoe counties than will young Mr. Bryan. Theold line democrats have it in for the youthful apostio of free silver and calamity. The Lincoln Sun asks this question and then makes a lot of foolish statements : “How many republicans in Nebraska do not know how they will vote oa governor until the rallroad wanagers decide whother o throw the state to Crounse or to Morton?”’ The Sun might just as well have ruug in Van Wyck with the other two.

In lilinols the democrats have made a great howl about carrying the state and sent ou'a band to sound the horns and beat tbe drums, I'll tell you now that is noi the way to oarry Tilnois, The effect of the campaign thus far has been to frighten the average republi- can voter almost out of his wits, and the result 1s there will be no stay- at-homes, no factious, but everything will be united in the republican party and we shall have a greater victory thun other- wise. “l'ree trade will lose the democrats thous- ands of voies in ail parts of the country. The peoplo are just weaking up to the cold-bloodea character of the democratic vlank. I 1s nothing short of free trada. Manufacturers, bankers, farmers and laborers are all fright- ened and are asking ‘aro we prepured to have the business of tho country overturned in this fashion? " Wisconsin So.1d Tor Harrison. Secrotary RRusk returned to the capital this afternoon from Wisconsin, He goes to New York tonight to meet his dauchter, who is returning from kurope in company with M Secretary Foster and Miss Foscer, “Wisconsin is certain to give a republican majority for the presidential and state tickets,” said Secretary Rusk. “I don’t be- lieve we will lose 8 man on our state ticket. ‘Pnere has been a good deal of talk about tho German Lutheran vote of Wiscon- sin going with the democrats this fall on local issues and 1 was prepared for a few cases whero republicans were inclined to vote the democratic ticket, but, to my surprise, did not meot in all my travels over the stato a single former repub- lican who is not still & republican, and 1 did moet some few democrats among business men who will vote for President, Harrison, velieving e hus given a good administration to the busiuess interests of the country, and that there is no reason for a change. I think that this is a strong point in President Harrison’s favor and an advaat- age which he did not enjoy in the last cam- paign. 1 find that business men generelly do not favor changing the government every four years and thereby aisturbing the busi- ness equilibrium,” Secretary Itusk expects to remain hero until ashort time vefore election, and will then go outin Wisconsin to round up the forces for election day. They Remember Cleveland's Vetoes. T'he soldlers are evidently taking a lively interest 1n the record ex-President Cleveland made iu connection with pension legislation. The congressional and national republican committees are daily receiving scores of let- ters from veterans in Indiana and the west asking for copies of his brutal vetoes with the names of their comrades so unjustly treated. Most of the letters come from tho soldiers, many of them democrats,and almost universally the sentiment is one of intense feeling at the conspicuous hatred ever and always manifested by Cleveland toward the union soldier. Several editions of these vatoes have already been mailed to the sol- diers in the n rih and west. Miscellancous, E. T. Donahoo has been appointed post- k City, Neb., vice H, Culp, re- signed, and G.
