THE BEE PUBLISHING COMPANY ) nek, seoretary of Tie BEE Pub- IR0 conpany, foes aolomnly awear that the netunl etreniation of Titk DAILY BEE for the week ending September 3, 1802, was as follows: Eunday.Angnst 2, Monday, Avgus! Taesdny, August riday, Enturdny, Septem b Average...... ... Average Circulation for July 24,316, ——————————————————— Porrrics and pugilism are now divid- ing public attention with cholera and 3rops. —_— THE trouble with the peoplo’s party in this state is that they don’t know what thoy want. — GOVERNOR BoYD has returned from his vacation, but has uot yet removed his coat in Mortou’s behalf. MAYOR BEMIS’ speech on Labor day was eminently pointed; though brief, it was the best speech dolivered that day in Omah; EVERY voter should read Benjamin Harrison’s letter of accentance. It is as rlear as a bell und as frank and honest «# its author. Tae great distinguishing difference petween the campaign of thig year and that of 189018 that facts will”influence voters this year, not 1 THE great sum of $10.10 was the tally jesterday at the western corruption wnd office. But is there only one ro- psentant democrat in Towa? THE more Stevenson circulates among people and makes speeches the more people wonder why the democrats did not nominate Gray or some one else. THEe democratic vote in New Jersey Is badly falling off. Twenty.bnllot box stuffers have just been sent to prison and they are, of course, all democratic politicians, OUR neighbor falls into the common srror that “*Daniel Dougherty proposed Cleveland’s name to the democratic con- vention in 1684.” That occurred at St. Louis in 1888, JUDGE CROUNSE is now on his way to Nebraska, and the people will be glad to welcome him and hear his forcible expo- sition of the truth and unveiling of demceratic insincerity and populist er- rors, THE experiment of using hot air heat for the Windsor and Saratoga schools may result satisfactorily, but there are ivings about it. Still itshould be given a fair trial, and this it will of -oourse receive. — THE salary list of principals of the ward schools of Omaha, just determined apon at the last meeting of the board, will bear comparison with the list of any city in the country. Wages paid teach- ars are certainly liberal in Omaha, GOVERNOR RUSSELL’S father will preside over the convention which will nominate the son for governor of Massachusetts, but the republican can- didate will preside” over Mr. Russell’s political funeral in November. — DR JENKINS has gracefully come down from his high perch. It was a most sensible act. In these times there thould be no unseemly bickering be- iween uuthorities when confronted by a ireadful scourge. THE democratic New York Herald lays: “The democratic campaign in this state continues as murky as though It were entrapped in a London fog.” And that fog is not the only English shing connected with this campaign. S——— ROGER QUARLES MILLS suys he won't izke any part in this campaign except o vote for Governor Hogg, he is ‘‘an old man now and cannot make many speeches.” And yot it has been only a year since he was as frisky as a colt and warranted to last forever in his contest lor the speakership with Crisp. We fear Roger is lying low until the alli- ance storm is passed, — I 18 safe to say that in no eity in the Unitod States was Labor day more ap- propriately celebrated than in Omaha. A fine looking body of toilers paraded, and the thousands who thronged the streets to seo them were proud of this city’s lubor organizations. Labor and eapital, employer und employe are on good terms in this civy, and a cootinued observance of the principle of common interests will koop them so. e—— SEORETARY RUSK says that on his recent visit to Wisconsin he did not wmeet a single former republican who is ot now u republican. There has not boen u time in many years when there was less reason for a republican o with- hold his support from his party, nor has thore been w campaign in regeut years in which such important issues were in- volved. Any wan who has ever boen a republicun should consider it a privilege to support Huarrison and Reid and the vital prineiplos which they 1epresent in tuls contest THE LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. President Harrison’s letter of accept- ance will be read by republicans with a keen sense of gratification. It is an able, straightforward, eandid presenta- tion to the country of the republican position on every question of publie in- torest. It deals with actual conditions, and its statemen*s and arguments are so plain and understand them. The prosident is not vague or equivocal or abstruse. Ho ap- peals to the comprehension and judg- ment of all the people. Prasident Harrison dis es the dem - ocratic proposition to restore the state bank currency and points out the evils that would result from that policy. Recalling the vxveriences when we had this form of currency and when ‘“‘a money changer’s office was the familiar neighbor of the tickst office and the lunch counter,” the president expresses the opinion that the people will not consent to the reactionary proposal made by the democratic party. Presi- dent Harrison takes a very positive position in the subject of restoring tho country’s merchant marine. He regards it us 0 matter that touches not only our pockets but our national pride. He points out how entirely our people are at tho mercy of the foreign ship owners, and this not alone in a commercial way. for every steamship coming into our ports from Burope may bo used by ths Buropean governments in time of war to destroy our commerce. We are thus paying o vist. sum annually to maintuin lines of stearships which may avany time pe utilized to our great in- jury. The prosident says that inas- much as Furopean governments in part sustain steamship lines by direct or in- direct government aid, this country must adopt a similar policy in order to build up a merchant marine. On the subject of reciprocity the pres- ident spenks in no uncertain language. He regards it as a policy that will prove of great and perminent benofit to the farmers and manufacturers of the coun- try. We have only begun to realize the benefit, of these trade arrangements, says (he president, but the results al- ready attuined are such as to establish in particular favor the policy of recip- rocal tade bised upon tho free importa- tion of such articles as do not injure by competition tho products of our own farms, mines or factories, in exchange for the free or favored introduction of our products into other countries. President Harrison pointedly remarks respecting the democratic proposal to repeal the tariff iaw, inclilling the recip- rocity provision, that if no other issue were involved in the campaign thisalone would give it importance. *“Are the farmers of the grain-growing states,” asks the president, ‘‘willing to surrender these now large and inereasing murkets for their supplies?” Undoubtedly the nearly universal answer will bo that they are not. The president discusses with greatforce the policy of vrotection, vigorously pointing out the destructiye character of the democratic doctrine as enunciated in the national platform of that party. The appeals of the free trader to the workingman, says the president, are addressed to his preju. dices or 1o his passions. “Our natural advantages,” says the president, ‘“‘our protective tariff and the reciprocity poliey make it possible for us to have a large parti tion in the markets of the world without Opening our own to com. petition that would destroy the comfort and independence of our nation.™ Regarding the curency the president expresses the conviction that ‘‘the free coinage of silver at such a ratio to gold as will maintain the equality in the commercial uses of the two coinad daol- lars would conduce to the prosperity of all the great commereial nations of the world.” The president gives brief at- tention to the subject of honest elec. tions and suggests a nonpartisan com - mission to consider the subject of ap- portionments und elections in their re- lation to the choice of federal officers. The president concludes his very excel- lent letter by pointing out the injury certain to result to the business inter- ests of the country from a change of ad- ministration that would substitute for the safe and progressive policy of the republican party the program of re- action and demolition proposed by the democracy. EMIGRANT CRIMINATION, There will be very geaeral approval of the views of President Harrison re- gurdirg the necessit~ for a careful dis- crimination among the emigrants seek- ing our shores. The president says we do not want and should ot receive those who, by reason of bad character or habits, are not wanted at home, ‘‘The industrious and self-respecting,” he says, “the lovers of law and liberty, should be discriminated from the pauper, the criminal and the anarchist, who come only to burden and disturb our communities.” ‘Chis is the correct position, but we obsorve that there is a disposition to take advantage of the cholera excite- ment in order to create popular senti- ment against immigration. The east- ern newspapers, which never let go by an opportunity to encourage hostility to immigration, are expressing the hope thut the action of the government in practically suspending immigration will prove to bg the forerunner of a perma- nent pol One of theso journals re- marks regarding the order requiring vessels to bo quarantined for a period of twerty days, in cases where there is ovi- dence of cholera, that so long as this arrangement shull continue *4it will illustrate and exemplify a condition which, in a less severe form, the coun- try would like to see become permanent, It will emphasize the duty, if not of prohibiting, at least of more thoroughly regulating and restricting immigra- fon.” country in this matter our eastern con- temporary takes upon itself an unauthor- ized responsibility, There is no de- mand in the great west, where indus- trious, thrifty and law-respecting immi- grants ave still welcomed, for a perma- nent application of the restriction wisely imposed upoa immigration in the pres- ent exigency. The people of the west recognize the good judgment shown by tie president in making summary pro- vision for keeping cholera out of the country, sud they would upprove of an | prohibition of mmlumlloul absolute lucid that every voter can | In ussuming to speal: for the | while the danger continues, if that were deemed by the government to be neces- acnolera invasion, but they would de- extend beyond the period of danger. President Harrison has rightly ap- prehended the inteiligent public opin- | ion of the country on this subject. We do not want peoplo whoso ch iracter or habits are such as to have rendered them objectionable to their own couns trymon, and every practicable provision should he made 0 keep such people out of the country. provide for their exclusion and they are being well enforced. Nothing more is necessary or to be desired. There is still room enough here for everybody who may come with a purpose to work, to contribute to the material develop- ment-of the country, to obey the laws and to conduct themselves as good eiti- zens. **The lovers of law and liberty,” as Presidont Harrison puts it, will still be welcome to our shores and there is no danger that the number of such who come here will bo too great. The westand the south needs them and will find use for them for many years to come. On this eubject the president is sound and in touch with tho intelligent sentiment of the country. SEIZURE OF THE GILBERT ISLANDS. The seizuro ny Great Britain of the Gilpert 1slands, one of the most import- ant groups in the south seas, is deseribed by the correspondent who witnessed the proceedings as having been effected in the most high-handed manner. Al- though it is not claimed thatany Ameri- ean vights have been violated by the seizuro it {s nevertheless true that several American citizens who have invested their money extensively in business enterprises there are likely to see their trade seriously injured in con- sequence of the establishment of the English protectorate. The excuse given by the naval officer who made the seiz- ure was that a Chinaman, who was a British subject, had suffered some wrong for which he had been unable to obtain redress at the hands of the native king. 1Tt is believed however, that the fact that the king had appealed to the government of the United States for pro- tection from Great Britain was the real cause of the action of the latter. The chief product of the Gilbert group is cocon, in which a very large and valuable trade is carried on. The American government has not coveted these islands nor made any movement whatever toward taking possession of them, but American interests were rap- idly growing theve. The selzure of the islands by Great Britain is in line with her policy of greed, and while there may have been a faint shadow of excuse for the action it was not based upon justice or necessity. SPEED ON RAILROADS. A writer in the Engineering Magazine expresses the belief that ‘‘thereis no inherent mechanical reason why we should not, on absolutely clear stretches of track, obtain a velocity approaching 200 miles an hour,” the proveliing force being the electric current. 7This dream of fabulous speed for railway trains is indulged in by many people, but the idea is not s popular with the general traveling public as it is with the theor- ists themselves. Moreover, it is yet an open question whether it is within the limits of possibility to attain anything like the speed which this writer sug- gests. Not long ago a distinguished English engineering authority entered into a somewhat elaborate and very plausible argument. to prove that w speed above eighty miles an hour was impossible, for the reason. that no known metal or composition could resist the heat that would be generated in the journals under the cars. It was claimed that such rapid revolutions of * the wheels as would be necessary to the attainment of the great velocity talked of by the theorists would simply melt he boxes and result in disaster. But whetlier such speed is possible or not it seems hardly practicable, and as travelers are few whose necessities would ever be urgent enough to induce them to patronize a train running 200 miles an hour it is not likely that such speed will be witnessed. It remains to be demonstrated that electricity is safer motive power than the steam loco- wotive now in use, though its possi- bilities of speed are much greater. The expense of running fast trains is enor- mously in excess of that of running the trains at ordinary speed, aud the traveler who wishes to ride on the *flyers” is usually required to pay extra for the privilege. As the tendency of the time is toward cheapness it is doubtful whether public patronage of trains run at lightning speed would ever be sufficiently liberal to make them practicable, taking into consideration the great cost which they would entail upon the railrond companies. It is often argued that it is as safe to travel 100 miles an hour as fifty, but very few people can be made to believe it. What the traveling public wants is careful and intelligeat management of the train service, as it is more desirable than such prodigious speed as some of the theo- retical engineers are now contemplating. — WHENEVER any of our people who have been away from home on a visit to eastern or western cities the thing thav | most forcibly strikes thom on their re- [*turn to Omaha is the unsightly and | promiscuous pole nuisance. There is not another city of 25,000 people or more on the face of the globe that is so dis- figured by a horvible network of wires and poles—long poles, short poles, crooked poles, unpainted poles and un- trimmed poles, And the few thut have been painted are even more unsightly than those that huve never been touched by the brush. This state of affairs | shouid not be permitted to continue. It would not he submitted to in any other city and why should it be in Omaha?

The/business men of Omaha are well pleaseleith the condition of trade, and that tiging the cyse all classes have reason to be contented. THE extensive transaction by which a valunble mining property in the Baid Mountain region in the Black Hills has passed into the hands of an, English syndicate may result in the rapid de- volopment of a territory that has been inviting ecapitalists to invest for some time past. As the region is within easy reach of Omaha and forms part of the natural territory of our jobbers, its development will be an advantage to this city. —_—— THE audience that hissed the Ameri- can flag in a Montreal theater must have labored under the impression that war has been declured between the United States and Canada. Will the Canadian tories never learn that they only bring contempt upon themselves when they,insuit the Stars and Stripes? The matter may not be very serious, but it affords an illustration of the bad manners of a certain class in Canada, e —— IT WILL be embarrassing eampaign- ing for democratic -orators in York state this fall, when their platform rant about *‘the increased burdens laid on the workingmen by the McKinley tarifi” is confronted by their own demo- cratic figures proving an increase of over $6,000,(00 in wages in that state alone. It will require more shrewdness and dexterity than they possess to get around that dilemma. y [ — THERE is no paragraph in the presi- dent’s letter more frank, honest, impar- tial and clear than the one on silver.

If the mayor approves tho contract ivis a settlea fact that when the counciimen walic the floor of the council chamber their feet will tread Wilton carpot. Last week the committes on public prop- erty and buildings reported on Wilton, report was sent back aund the committee in- structed to have a contract prepared with the lowest bidder on five-ply Brussels car- pet. Last night Mr. Edwards, chairman of the committoe, said he could not see things in that way, Wilton was the thing, bocause it would give richness to the council cham- ber furniture. The motion to draw a contract for the Brussels carpet was dofeated by & vote of 6 to 10. Then the chairman’s report was adopted by a vote of 11 to 5 and a contract was ordered with the lowest bigder on Wil- ton. The mayor vetoed the resolution locat ing and relocating a number of crosswalks in the Sixth and Seventh waras. The mayor wrote. that these wards had exceeded the number of walks allotted when the appor- tionment was made last spring. The Veto Was Overridden by a Vote of 10 to 3. The mayor served notice that he had ap- proved the bond of Fred K. McConnell for furnishing Venetian blinds for the oity hall, ‘I'nere was one placo where the mayor stuck. The council bad ordered a permanent walk along lot 7, block 48, on the north side of Chicago. Itwas in the permanent dis- trict and some person had stricken “‘hrick or tiling” from the resoitution. The veto was sustaimed. Chris Hisasser was allowed 100 iu pay- wment for a horse that was injured on a di fective curb at Twentieth and Castellar streets. Claims for damages resulting from the opening of streets through Sweezey's addi- tion were presented. The city uttorney wrote that some of these streets were occu- ped by individuals, Tho matter was ro- ferred to the city engineer to make a plut of the premises, The Board of Public Works seut in notice that R. H. Walker and J. C. Perrigo had been appointed inspectors of paving. The appointments were referred. City Physician Somers reported that a number of buildings on Tenth between Dor- cas ana Hickory streets were a nuisance and in a davgerous condition. The communica- tion was referred. Bids for furnishing steam and heating coal were opened and referred. Russell, Pratt & Co. presented a bill of $6,000, it being the one-half cash price of the gus and electric light Axtures for the city. By resolution the council took up the ped- dlers and gardeners, removine them from Howard, east of Tenth street, to Jones streec, betweer Eleventh to ‘I'hirteenth. The chief of police will notily the garden truck dealers of the change. The cost of grading the alley in the rear of the city hali was ordered taken from the city hall fund and transferred to the street commissioner’s tund. The Park Place Congregational Church society was authorized to remove its church building to the lots on the west side of For- tieth street in block 6, Jerome park. ‘The Omaba Street Railway company was instruoted to remove its car tracks from Forty-third street, from the bridge south of Charles north to Burdette streot, in order to allow the grading to proceed. o The proposition of Dr, Mercer to deed the lot on which is situated a lake was referred to the park commission. The committee on fire and water reported in favor of the purchass of a Hale water tower at the prico of $4,500. The report was adopted.

FounTaeNTH STRERT, } D, C., Sept. 6. President Harrisou’s letter of acceptance published this morning has been the one topic of discussion in Washington today. It is pronounced by all republicans a master- piece of sonception 1 all of 1ts details, It shows the president's strong mind and patriotism in every instauce. The lettor is rogarded as the most comprehensive dooument of {ts character ever written, It has put & dampor upon the hopes of the dem- ocrats in their efforts to fraternize the farmer with the democratic party through the allianso pipe line by making them be- liove the tarift law was not enacted for them. This evening’s consorvative Star savs it is the best written of all the president’s public papers, and that it is difficult to see how he will find anything more to say in his next MOSSAKO Lo Congress. Senator Paddoek of Nebraska, who is at the head of the agricultursl committee of the senate, and therefors close to the inter- ests of the farmers, said of theletter tonight: “It is n masterly statement of the republican faith and polictes. If it could be carefully read by every voter it would be quite suffi- cient without speeches from the stump to glvo all a correct idea of the aims una pur- poses of the party on the exact fssues and the desirability of continuing the republican party in power with President Harrison in his present position. It is a statesnian like review of the political situation like everything that emanates trom Mr. Harri- 8son, whether written or spoken, It is direct, vigorous, incisive and of the first order of literary merit. It will bo an inspiration to his party friends and caunot fail to bring him compliments from his politicul opponents for its cleverness.” Judge Crounse's Plans; Assistant Secretary Crounse will leave Washington tomorrow morning for Ne- braska. He will arrive at Omaha on Friday morning and leave that night for I'remont where he speaks at the old settlers’ and soldiers’ meeting. The meetings he says, veing nonvolitical, will elicit from him ro- marks of @ uonpartisan character, Judge Crounse will oot therefore deliver a campaign speech at Fremont. Judge Crounse expressea himself to Tae Bee cor- rospondent today as mare than pleased with President Harrison's letter of acceptance. Ho suid the letter was a thorough American | document und fairly represented the roal issues of the campain, Sergean-at-Arms Vuleutine of the senate said the letter was the best ever written by a president and would make votes for the re- publican party. Date of Switchmen's Mecting Changed. Augustus D. Shaw, formerly a well known railroad man of Indianapolis, now third deputy auditor of the treasury, who was ono of the delegates to the switcamen’s recent convention at Lincoln, Neb., and is an offic of the national organization of railroad ope- ratives, has been requested by several of the railroad organizations that have ap- pointed their committees to attend to the safoty apohances meeting_at Chicago, to change the date from the 15th inst. to the 25th inst., which he said today ho had done, and that ail have been so ndvised. This chanege is made, he explains, so that the time of meeting will not interfere with the annual conventions of the variousorders.
