Clreulation for July 24,316, Average No MAN who wasever tainted with fint greenbackism should bo eected to the position of vice president of the United States, Now let us hear from the huzzard of Buzzard’s bay. The country is holding its breath In suspense, anxious to know whether he will accept the nomination. AT LAST the city council has sustained one of the mayor’s vetoes, which goes to show that the mayor is not always in the wrong and the council is not always bull-headed. THE BeE desives to see this district represented in congress by a repubiican. Tor this reason it feels impelled to talk plainly about candidates with whom the party cannot hope to win. g Tuis district should be represented in congress by a republican. Buv it must be a republican whose record is clean and who can steer clear of factional strife and bitter personal contention. ThE boycott attempted against the Misses Bailey in the public schools of Homestead, because of their father’s re- turn to his work in the mill, will fail as such insane and malicious persecutions nlways eventuate, Mns. LEASE is now carrying Kansas by 40,000, a loss of 20,000 in two weeks. ‘With this ratio of populite decrease, this female orator will enjoy the rare privilege of telling the truth about a week before election. A Goop many Iowa people are won- dering what has become of Major An- derson. It is quite likely that the sly majoh is pluming his wings for a big fight on an off year. He is too wise to try it on a presidential year, THE idens of the democrats in the Eleventh lowa district must be very much confused on money matters. They Aare expected to vote for Anti-Silver Cleveland, Greenback Stevenson and Free-Silver Campbell for congress. *Jupae” is fairly outdoing itself in its great cartoons this year. It was noticeably weal in 1884 and stronger in 1888, but now the suporiority of its work over that of Puck is evident to almost anyone. And, of course, its work in this eampawgn will have a correspondingly greater effect. Now is the time to clean up this city. The Board of Health must have money to do it; the peril to this city’s health and prosperity is imminent and the touncil must at once, without quibbling or hesitancy, provide funds for this sity’s cleansing. No *‘politics’ or delay will be permitted by the apprehensive & and indignant pubtic, THE attorney who represented the Law and Order Jeague in the prosccu- tion of liquor sellers in Councit Bluffs until the leugue gave up and retired from business has presented a bill to the county supervisors for $1,259.80 for pro- fessional services. The bill may be a!l right, but it shows that the kind of pro- hibition that they have in Iowa is ex- ceedingly expensive for the actual re- sults achieved. A MEETING of considerable import- ance to railroad trainmen is to be held in Chicago on September 28. The dele- gates will be men of practical experi- ence In railroad matters, and the subject to be considered is the adoption of safety appliances. 'This has now be- come a matter of immediate concern to the railroad companies, on nccount of the bill providing for the substitu- tion of improved couplings and brakes on all railronds. It is hoped thatan sffective system cun be found by which the great death-rate among railroad men may bo les ened, THe enforcement of law in Chicago has often been uttended by tragic pro- ceedings, but that city has seldom wit- ‘nessed an exhibition of desperadoism like the murderous assault on the police force which attempted to put a swp to the gambling at Garticld park on Tuesduy. The demand for the clos- ing of that resort of horse vacers and gamblers has been very strong among the lovers of law and order in Chicago, Things were done at Gurfield park which raised a public scancal and orenled great indignation, and now that three human lives have boon sacrifived in closing it the public will hope that it will remain closed, Thore was evidence enough in Tuesday’s tragedy that the police of Chicago nre good oficers. They did their duty and carcied out their instructions. What that city needs is rveadier response to the demands of respeetable public sentiment as a means of keepiug erime in check. MR. BLAINE'S LETTER Mr. Blaine announces that he will not muke any speeches in the present cam- paign, but ho has written a letter in which he discusses briefly the issues ana vigorously urges the necessity of rapublican success. Tho letter is ad- dressed to the chairman of the Maine republican state committes, but it was undoubtedly intended for republicans evorywhers, Mr. Binine regards the tariff as the issue of greatest importance and he says the oxporience of the past two years hos fully vindicated the McKinley act. Agriculture is remunerative, man- ufactures are prosperous, and commoreo is more flourishing than atany previous time. The position of the democracy rogarding the tariff is discussed and it is shown that the claim of that party that it represents the views of Jefferson is wholly unwarranted. The dis- tinguished author of the Declaration of Indopendence was in favor of protection and he did not believe that policy to be unconstitutional, as the democratic party of today believes. The fact is that modern democracy has pre little likeness to that of Jefferson Blaine has a good word for reciprocit which the country owes to him more than to uny other man, and he gives u simple explanation of its characte: which will enable everybody to under- stand just what itis, Mr. Blaine justly rogacds as impor- tant the currency quostion, and he roundly condemns the democratic pro- vosal to restore the state bank currency. He says that no one will question who kpnows anything about the subject that before the war this country had the worst currency system of any enlight- enad nation in the world, and the pro- posal that we shall return to that sys- tem insuits the intelligence of our people. Mr. Blaine doss not over- state the matter when he siys that the state bank currency caused an aggregate loss of hundreds of mil- lions of dollars among vhe poor. Every- body who remembers that psriod knows that the groater part of the piper car rency then in circulation was subject to discount whenover it got outside of the shadow of the bank of issue and 1t was this kind of money that tho wage- earners generally received. As was forei aid by Presideat Harrison in his letter of acceptance, roferving to this matter, ‘“‘the denomi bill was then often no ind value. The bank detector of yestarday. was not a safeguard today as to creditor values. Morchants deposited several times during the day, lest the hour of bank closing should show a depreciation of the money taken in the morning. The farmer and the laborer found the moaey received for their products or their labor depreciated when they came to make their purchases, and the whole business of the country was hindered and bur- dened.” There could be no greater folly than to return to such a condition of affuirs, for the people who wo1d suffer most from it are the producers and the wage-earncrs—the classes who are most deeply concerned in having a sound and stable currency. Mr. Blaine counsels against multiy ing issues, nor would he permit the de- mocracy 10 divert attention from those questions which are of prime import- ance, as it i3 endeavoring to do. Protec- tion and a sound currency are the vital issues of the campaign and Mr. Blaine wisely adinonishes tho republican party to steadfastly adhere to these questions. His letter evidences his hearty desire for republican success and it will exert a wholesome influence upon the party generally. AN UNWARRANTED CLAIM. The claim of the supporters of Mr. Cleveland that he did mors than any other presidant to advance the cause of civil service reform is as unwarranted as most of the other claims made in his behalf. Theappointments made during the first year of the Cleveland adminis- tration were many of them among the most scandalous ever made. Who does not remember how Senator Gorman of Maryland secured pleasant and profit- able places for his political henchmen, most of whom wero denounced by the Civil Service league of Baltimore as scoundrels who ought to have been in the penitentiary, It is true that at the outset Mr. Cleve- land was imposed upon. Politicians in whom he thought he cou'd have confi- dence misied him, but even after he had learned this the situation was not greatly improved. In the last year of his administration the railway service was almost demora’ized by the turning out of experienced and compe- tent men and putting in others who wore not fittea for the service, however capable they may have been as politi- cians. One of the earliest acts of tho present administration, in order to im- prove the efficiency of the railway mail service, was to restore to it the compe- tent clorks who had boen turned out for political reasons. It will not help the matter to say that this was the work of Mr. Cleveland’s postmaster geuneral and that the president knew notbing about it. Iv was his duty to know all about it, and as the matter was publicly discussed at the time 1t is hardly possible that Mr. Clevelnnd could have been ulto- gother ignovant of it. 1t is well known, nlso, that in some of the postoffices of the country the most flagrant violations of the civil service reform law were com- mitted and the president did nothing about it, though his attention was called o the circumstances. In some of the departments av Washington very loose mothods wero in operation regarding the civil service law, and for the reason thut most of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet officers were hostile ta the law. Under the present administration civil servico reform hus been stcadily ad- vanced und the law is more fully en- forced now than at uny previous time since its onactment. President Harri- son says in his letter of acceptance: “*Th has been no partisan juggling with the law in any of the departments or bureaus, as had before happened, but appointments tothe olassitied ser- vice have been made from the eligible lists. ‘I'he system now in fo-ce in all departments has for the first time placed promotions strictly on the basis of mert.” Thns without having mado any great promises Fresident Harrison has steadily and as rapidly as was ex- mail | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: pedient extended the reform, until it is now nccomplishing what it was in- tended to effect, and in this the presi- dent has had the hearty support of every head of department and of all subordinate officials, No candid man will deny that President Harrison has done more than any of his predecessors for this reform and incomparably more than Mr. Cleveiand did. The reform is now firmly established and no future president will venture to disregard it, even though hostile to it. But the truth of history requires it t> be said that its success is dus mainly to repub- lican presidents and to none of them so much us to President Harrison. JOUN G. WHITTIER, The death of the venerable poet, Whittier, will be widely mourned, for he had endeared himself by his verse and his gentle life to a greater number of people than perhaps any other Amer- ican poet, with the possible exception of Longfellow. Though not a great poet, Whittier’s muse had a grace and deli- cacy, a tenderness and- sweetness, that charmed the ear and touched the heunrt as few others can, e did not reach the loftier heights of song, but all that he @1d had its prompting in an earnest pur- pose. Mr. Whittier’s pen was a potent force in the anti-slavery period, und 1t is per- haps not too much to say of him that no other man—not even Garrison or Wen- dell Phillips—exerted a greater influence upon the public mind or did more to mold popular sentiment. His poems were read where the ringing editorials of Garrison and the splendid orations of Phillips did not reach, and they pro- duced an impression which the others could not make. Much of this worl lost its interest with the passing away of the conditions that evoked it, but the fame of the poet does not rest wholly upon his lyrics of freedom. Whittier’s life was of ideal gentle- ness and we recall no more beautiful character in ail literature. He loved humauity and his talents were employed for its improvement and elevation. He set un example of gracious and gentle living which all men would do well to imitate and died with an unquestioning faith in an immortal .life beyond the grave. In one of the sweetest of his poems is this verse: “I know not where His islands life Their fronded palms in air; 1 only know I cannot arift Beyond His love and care,” WHO SHALL GO T0 CONGRESS? This district bas not been representel in the lower house of congress for the last two years. That fact has been patent to every person conversant with the lack of attention on the vart of Con- gressman Bryan to such trifling matters us make up the wants of his constitu- ency. Omaha hus been especially un- fortunate in this regard. Her public building appropriation hasbeen trimmed down by the cheese-paring champion of economy, and her other needs have re- ceived the cold shoulder of neglect and indifference of the great Lancaster statesman. Now that the district has been di- vided and it is conceded that Omaha wilt have her own representative it is manifestly of vital importance that the man to represent us in the lower house of congress shall be possessed of the capacity and temper that will assure for him the widest influence in the national legislature and in the depart- ments. In other words, he should be a man who can not only command atten- tion on the flovr of the house, but should in his intercourse with members of both houses, and espocially with his col- leagues in the senate, conduct himself with an unruffled temper and a disposi- tion that tends to secure their cordial co-operation. The republican party can and should present such a candidate to the voters of this district. The question is, Will the rank and file of the party blindly lose sight of these essential factors of success and rush headlong into the nomination of a man who is in his makeup the very opposite in every re- spect of what a useful and influential congressman should be? Is the success of the party to be jeopardized to gratify the vaulting ambition of such a man? Ave the material interests of this metropolis to be sucrificed to the caprice of any politician, even if he was ever 8o deserving? THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES. The republican caucuses for Omaha and Douglas county have bean set for Friday night. While Tue BEE has never approved tho caucus system of nominating delegates, who ought to be chosen without prior interference or combination at the primary electioun, we are compelled to recognize the fact that 80 long as the caucus is retained as part of our nominating machinery it be- hooves the rank and file of the party to take part and, if possible, to frustrate any attempt of political schemers to commit the party to a course that is lia- ble to prove disustrous. The caucuses next Friday should be attended by every republican who takes an intorest in tho success of his party. The outcome of these cuucuses cannot fa1l to be farreaching. The delegates selected at these caucuses, when ratified at the primaries, will nominate the can- didate for congress from this district; a Jegislative delegation of three senators and nine members of the house; almost an entire Board of County Commission- ers; u county attorney; justices of the peace, and last, but by no means least important, the assessors for the coming yeur. Inasmuch as Douglas county and especially Omaha is to be the battle ground of the campaign in Nebraska, the impending <aucuses will in a great measure determine whether the party 1s destived to win a brilliant vietory on the 8th of November or by reason of unfit nominations in this county is to go down in defeat. The danger at this moment is in the selfish ambition of men who seek positions of honor and trust from which they ought 1o be barred. Political campaigns are governed by natural laws, The stream cannot rise above its wource. A convention made up of political roustabouts and ward heelors will naturally select as candi- dates men of their own stamp, If the caucuses next Friday are dominated by : the vicious und wmercenary elements of , THURSD.AY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1892 the party our congressional and legisla- l President Harrison was inaugurated.

ANOTHER S TATISTICAL THRUST. Ivis one “of ths misfortunes of the democratic party in the present c: paign that its commissioners of statis- tics do not seem to realize how dangor- ous truth is to the success of the free trade movement upon which the hopes of the democracy ave chiefly founded. The commissioner of statistics in Indi- ana, Mr. Poolle, has beon publishing somoe facts about wages and labor in that stato which are of about the same com - plexion us thoss published by the Now York statistician a few days ago, though they are on a smaller scale. Heis a democray, like Mv. Peck, and he also resambles the latter in his total disregard for party considerations when dealing with matiers of statistics. The Indinnapolis News, a free trade nows- paper, says of his recent stutement: “Two facts ave prominent in Mr. Peelle’s report. The average earnings of wage-earners, if these conclusions are trustworthy, are larger than has gen- erally been bolieved. [n Indianapolis the average yeurly earnings are esti- mated by Mr. Peells to be $3 in Evans- ville, $541, and in Terre Haute $623. The weight of published evidence has heretofore indicated an average of annual earnings smaller than here given.” This does not indicate a disposition to question the roliability of the commis- sioner’s statements or his sources of information. Lest any demacratic news- paper unfamiline with the facts should jump to the conclusion that the capital- sts have been imposing on the Indiana statisticion we hasten to say that his facts were gathered entively from work- ingmen. Ho addressed questions to them and accepted their answers as Peck accepted those of the 6,000 manu- facturers in New York state who re- sponded to his queries. The facts concerning vhe wages of workingmen reported from Indiuna are. not exhaustive, but so far as they go they tend to show that the wage-earners are nov the impoverished and down- trodden slaves whi¢h the democracy, for campaign purposes, represents them to be. All truthifu Itestimony 1s to the same effect, and ds'solid facts cannot be overthrown or discredited by empty denials and counter-statements they are bound to previil and continue their good work, yy— NOT HES YEAR, THE BEE is in_the habit of calling a spade a spade. This ig not Judge Scott’s year. When he was honored by the re- publican party with adistrict judgeship last yeat’ he “’pyblicly and - pri- vately declared ' that a place upon the bench ' would fill the meas- ure of his ambition. That ambi- tion * has been gratified. No other man who had been identified with Omaha and Nebrasica such a compara- tively short time and had done nothing toward building up the party in this state has been equally favored. But this was not all. Within three months after he had become s judge he was made o delegate to the national repub- lican convention to the exclusion of dis- tinguished republicans who had been here half a lifetime. Men occupying a position in our ju- diciary cannot but engender animosi- ties, and hence become imbued with prejudices and hard feelings against lawyers who are practicing at the bar and parties whose causes are tried be- fore them. The acrimonies of a cam- paign are not eusily obliterated, even in the breasts of men of the most genial and ‘unrafiled temper, But with Judge Scott they become implacable. In the present political crisis Judge Scott is not available as a candidate for con- gress. Tonominate him would be court- ing inevitable defeat. THE attention of many Omaha people is attracted to the state fuir at Lincoln this week and a large number of local manufacturers and dealers in various lines are among the prominent ex- hibitors. It is encouraging to know that notwithstanding the extensive additiens that have been made to the buildings of the State Agricultural society since lust year there is still insufficient room for the accommodation of the vaetly in- creased exhibits of the present year. The meaning of this is that the produe- ing classes in Nebraska have a greater number and variety of articles worth showing than ever-before and that they are taking a more lively interest than heretofore in this means of demonstrat- ing the progress which the state is mak- ing. One of the’most useful purposes which the state falr serves is that of acquainting visit4¥s from other states, of whom there are many, with the de- velopment that i¥ Foing on in this com- monwealth. Thig year there are ox- hibitors and visftops present from six states. In live sty alone Illinois, Kan- sns, Towa and Kentucky are competing against our own #fute, which shows that outsiders ranllza..lh importance of ad- vertising here.

Jorter, L., Sept. 7.—Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois spoke as the exponent of republican principles at the Chautaugua grounds this afternoon. There was a large crowd in attendance and the speech was muoch applauded. The tariff question was the principa) subject of the discussion, the senator stating that for once the democratic party has declared frankly its position on this question—for free trade. The issue is now fairly made up and in this campaign the two varties will go to the country to discuss the question upon its merits— free trade versus protection. After 100 yoars of tarift legislation, much of it under demo- cratic administrations, the democrats sud- denly discover and declare in their platform that it is unconstitutional to 80 shapo the tariff act as to give protection to American manufacturers while securing the necessary revenue to carry on the government, The democratio piatform found hearty commondation from the English and Eu- ropean press gonerally, but would not meet with the approval of the American people, for whom it is tho function of the Awmerican congress to logislate. Benefits to the Wuge Earner, Senator Cullom devoted much of the time to reviewing the benefits thar have accruea from a protective tariff to the wage earner of the United States and showed by compari- son how it had gradually reduced the cost of living, Alluding to the tin plate question, he de- vlared thut under the protection of the Me- Kinley bill 13,016,000 pounds of tin plate had been proouced in this courtry during tho year ending June 30 last. This result has totaily destroyed the position of the democratic party on this question, as facts are more potent than theorios. Farmers, ho suid, sometimes complained of protection, but. the sure method to advance the price of all farm produce aud crops 1s throuch a diversity of labor, S0 as to pro- duce the home consumption of American products. The establishment of new indus- tries and manufactures by protection 18 the solution, Pald a Tribute to Blaine, 1In conclusion, Serator Cutlom paid a glow- ing tribute to James G. Blaine as the author of reciprocity and denounced the democratic pretensions on that subject, He also ar- raigned the democratic barty as being, ac- coraing to their present platform, in favor of the abolition of national banks and the re- turn t> tke old state bank system.
