Let us see to it that Omaha does not prove a dis- honorable and foolish exception to that exceliont rale, e e IN THE prolonged ring contest be- tween Nancy Hanks and the record, so far this year Nancy has knocked down her antagonist three times and comes up smiling for the next round with no injuries visible. IN THICKLY populated districts men often count for more than principles and the best platform in the world can be rendered nugatory by a weak or dis- graceful candidate. Owmaha is a thickly populated district. —_— BEATRICE, in this state, will erect a barb wire factory and all the democrats of that town and county will, in the light of their national platform, stultify themselves by adyocating a home ma- ket for that barh wire, Wirh two United States senators at the tow-line and a long pull, a strong pull and u pull altogether, as they say at sen, THE BEE hopes to bo uble to got Omaha’s distinguished citizens, William A. Paxton and John L. Webster, out of quarantine, — THERE are to bo moro electric light poles put up in this town. If there is anything we do not want it is more poles. The great number now obstruet- ing public highways, eyesores to all de- tent people, are disgraces to Omaha, and it is o wonder they are tolerated, SIR EDWIN ARNOLD remarks that this “great nation is groveling in fear of the approach of & mere stomach- ache.” Theroe aro several people in Hamburg who would be perfectly will- ing to trade their stomuchaches for even the stomach which isa part of such a sneering cad as Arnold, The inspired idiot of the Chicago Herald who traces the advent of Asintic cholora into this country di- rectly tothe McKinloy tariff, is about to launch forth a seathing wrraign- ment of President Harrison und the republican party for the consequencas of the impending equinoctial storm. It WOULD be wiso il those honest in- dependents, who two yours o ropublican party und placed in power an alliance logislature in this statd and sent an anti-republican delegation to congress, would ask themsolves what good results came to them from those acts and in what direction a similar vote this year wou'd tend, ———— THE raport of the senute committeo appointed to investigate the effvcts of the MeKinley luw on prices, it wiil be rememwbored, was to the effect that prices woro u shade lower and wages o shade higher as the result of that law. And it wmust be kobwn that this report wus of the entive committee, signad by not only the republicin members, but also by Senators Curlisle and Huarris, the demoerutic members. Thus it will be seen that Mr, Peck of New York is in quite good Jewooratio compuny. A DEMOCRATIC GUN SPIK. The effort of the democratic party to make a national issue of the so-called “force bill” has failed. cally faited heforo the president referred to the subject in his Jotter of aceoptan and that reforence spiked this dewo- eratic gun completely. T ronsons for its failure as a issue are thay | it appealed wholly to tional feeling and 1t was put forward with the design of diverting popular attention from the tiving an ing which certain their party is in the wrong position. Mr. Charles A. Dana is vasponsible for ing injected the ‘‘force bill” into tho did so bocause he needed some justificavion for supporting the demosratic party at this time which he could not find in its attitude or its platform ntterances upon leading public questions. Mr. Dana could not support the freo Ho that the American systemn of on is constitutional and that it believe Dro has beon and will continue to be a good ! for this country. ITo also be- that the principle of reciprovily wise, whereas the democratic party has denounced it as a sham and & hum- bug. Mr. Dana does not believe in the course that has been pursued by tho dem- oeratic party regarding the currency nor in the party’s declaration in favor of restoring the state bank issues. Being unable to support the domocracy on any of these quostions ho cust about for wn issue that woula enable him to make at least a perfunctory fight for the pasty’: success and hit upon tne “force bill” and “no negro domination” as. battlo cries, ‘Whey were cectain to muke an appeul to the south that would bo tikely to hold vhat section solid for the democ- racy and there was a possibility thav they would divert attention to somo ex- tent in the north from the falso position of the democracy in other questions. It is far from absolutely certain that the southern states will give their full elec- toral vote to the democratic candidates and in the north the **focce bill” buga boo is as dead an issua as it well could be. What little lifo it may have 1 before the president made public his letter of ucceptance has departed from it and no effort to resuscitate it will now avail. The position of President Harrison on the subjoet of free and houest elections is eminently conscrvative, wise and patriotic. He does not advocate uny leg- islation relating to it which a just and patriotic citizen, desiring that every wan entitled to the suffrage shall be protected in its exercise, will object. He proposes simply that congress shall pro- vido for tho appointment of a non- partisan commission to consider the sub- jeet of apportionments and elections in their relation to the choice of federal officers, and he regrards with gratifica- tion the prospect that the states them- setves may be led to cor arbitrary and partisan election laws and practices, because a “‘healthy and patriotic local sentiment is the best assurance of froe and honest clections.” He is not a good friend of republiean institutions proposes that this question shall be wholly ignored, but all recognize that its solution is beset with great difficul- tizg, and that its 2onsideration must be free from passion, from sectional feel- ing, and as far as possiblo from partisan influence. This is evidently the frame of mind in which the president has con - sidered it and he would have been un- faithful to his great trust notto have given it any attention. But there is in his views and suggestions nothing that menuces the south with ‘“‘negro domi- nation” or proposes the exorcise any- where of federal authority that could be objectionable to the honest voter and good citizen. The prosident’s position, which is the position of the republican party, completely disposes of the **force bill” as o present issue, GROWTH OF RADE Wil CUBA The United States is steadily and surely obtaining control of the Cuban market. From present i tions 1t cannot be but a few years, if reciprocity is maintained, when about everything wl ported from this count, Itisa fact that even now nearly every article of import that has been hitherto =ent to that island from Europe is now earried from the United States. Even fiveproof are being ordered of American muk under heavy contracts, while machinery to manuficture the samo is also receiv- ing attention. It is said that as a vesult of the tariff on tobacco Havana has virtually no cigar trade, and several manufacturers are seriously considering offers of land in soveral American towns which have been made to them as an inducement to transfer their business to America. A New York firm of commission merchants reports a decided advance in their export business with the **Queen of the An- tilles” since reciprovity went into effect, Another house that exports bar and shect iron and improved tools states thut their shipments to Cuba have grown largely. It is the opinion of those familiny with this - teade that there ought to by within a few years pretty nearly a balancing of trade between tho United States and Cuba, whereas the aecount has been against this country to the amount of about 830,000,000 an- nually. The proximity of Cuba, and the fact that our morchaudise shipped goos mainly in American vessols, give us an advantage in dealing with that isiand which wo do not enjoy with other lunds with which we have reciprocity ar- rangements, and cannot until we have transportation facilities egual to the careying of most of our exports. We have inereased our commerce with all of vheso countries, but an American merchant marine is absolutely essential to a rapid expunsion of trade with the South and Central American states with which we have or shall hereafter make The ab- reciprocity avrrangoments. sonce of transportation lines constituted of swift and commodious steamships, flying the Ameriban flag, puts us at a very decided disadvantage, for it is in- ovitable that. foreign ship owners will discriminate as far as possible in favor of the commerce of their own countries. The facts about the irade with Cuba are iateresting as illustrating what may | he reasonably cxpected to flow genernlly It had praeti- | o ohvious | t commanding issues regard- | democrats saw that | | rivals in Kurope take an who ich the people of <uba buy will be im- bricks from reciprocity whenover we ureinn condition 1o take the largest advantage of the arrangements. We have made considerable invond upon the trade of i Furope with the southern countries -a | very lnrge gain, indeed, when all things ure considered--und there is every ren- believe that if the commercial policy thus inaugurated is mainsained we shall securs the larger sharo of it | within the next four years. It is not | surprising in view of what has alveady | been accomplished that our commerecial entirely dif- ferent view of the reciprocity policy from that held by the democratig party. They do not regard it as a sham, but as a serious threat to a trade supremacy of great value which they have long en- Joyed. son to INVULNERABLE CANDI- DATE. It is prosumptuous on the partot aman without legislative experietcoand withe out professionnl standing 1o ask a nomi- nation for congress at the hunds of the republicans of this distre With all candor and in a spirvit of Kindness THE Bre desives to suy to Me. Dave Mercer and his friends that this is not an ocea- sion for hooming aspiring politicians at the risk of defeating tho party and los- ing cven a single member of the na- tionul legislature. Audacity and per- severance are admirable qualities, but the man who ean run tho gauntlet of vopular approval in this district must have other qualities. ‘He must stand high in some profession and should be identified with the material welfare of this city and state. It is commendable for a young man to reach high, but he should above ail things be qualified for the position he aspives to and inspire confidence in his ability to represent a constituency croditably. Mercer’s only experience has heen in the legisiative lobby, and that is not exactly the school whose graduates commond themselves for seats in congress. ThE BEE has no candidate of its own, to sce the party make a so- 0 that will insure a wiumphant olection at the poll PUBLIC ROADS OF NEBRASKA. Many of the progressive business men of Omhy, who are alive to the impor- tance of promoting every interest that vears any relution to the development of trade in this city, have lately been giving some thought to the problem of public rond improvement. [t is an old theme of desultory discussion and al- most ev man concedos with more or less indifference that something ought to be done, but the suggestion is now made that aetion be substituted for words by holding a state conveution with the view of setting on foot an or- ganized movement that will produce substantial results. Tt is proposed that the convention be held in Omaha on November 19, and that a vigorous effort be put forth to make it u represe ntative one. That there is a general sontiment among men of influence in the stute in fayor of decisive steps in this matter was GIVE S AN shown at the last meoting of the Ne- braska State Business Mon sassociation, when resolutions were adonted strongly ng the establishment of a state fund for the construction and waintenance of our public ronds. A call for the conven- AHA DAILY ‘ that protection, iggrobbery, and that it | of statistics yeworts that ns the result of tion proposed would no doubt be widely responded to by business men and farm- ers of influence’ throughout the state, and so deep is the popular interest in the road problem that it is believed de- cisive results would ensue. The ques- tion to be determined is, not whnether something ought tobo done, but whatave the best measures to adopt for the relief of the public from the acknowledged curse of bad roads. A system suited to the needs of Nebraska certainly cannot be formulated and adopted in a day, but when an organized movement isonce fairly launched the difficulties will be cleared away step by step until the way is made plafn, Itis not pretended by any friena of this project that Nebrasi:a can afford the luxury of perfect roads, but a vast improvement upen the pres- ent wretched system is believed to be pra hle without too severely taxing the resources of the people, It is 10 be regretted that owing to the delay of the Douglas county commis sioners in oxpending the $150,000 yoted by the people for road improvement it will be impossible to give the proposed convention the benefit of our expa ence. Had the money bean laid out this year the first experimeut of this county in road making might have shed light upon some important aspects of the problem in time to be of use in the deliberations of the convention. A BUSINESS MAN'S VIEW. A clear, intelligent and forcible state- mont, from a business man’s point of view, of the evils that would ensue from the triumph ef the free traders in the approuching election, is presented by William G. Steel of Philadelphia, who was formerly engaged in worsted manu- facturing in Brudford, England, but re- moved his business to this country on account of our protective tariff, Mr, Steel has employed the same class of Inbor upon the same machinery in Eng- land and this country, and is familiar with the condition of the working classes in Bngland under free trade and in America under protection. He suys that be has paid to Ameriean weavers under the McKinley law $13 a week for work on the same loom for which he paid 88.25 u week in England, *Thero can be,” he says, *no parallel for Us in other nations, and therefore there can bo no comparison of our causes with their results, or the reverse, but it must be u plain facu that as we reduce the conditions here to the leve! of those of our European competitors, so shall we reduce ours to the level of Buropean prosperity,” The real kernel of the argument of the ndvocates of protection is expressed in this sentence to reduce the condi- tions governing busivess and wages in this country to the European standard would bs to court the identical con- sequences which attend suci conditions in Europe, and the truth of this con- clusion is s0 apparent that it is hard wo seo how any man can deny it and still claim to be sincere and honest. And yet we hear democratic free traders on every hand proclaiming vociferously 15 FRIDAY is crushing theomworking classes of Amorica with? if§ oruel burdens. In thisas in othan gusos where partisan Zenl outruns rexsos and common sense, it is sure to fail’of!its object. TE chief of Tho government burenu recipiocity the «dmbined value of ex- ports of cotton, Yireadstufls, provisions, cattle, sheep ands hogs, all clossed as ngricultural predects, of 1892, cxceeded the exports of 1890 (just before reci procity wos procinimed) by $159,238,328 and cxeeeded the average annual value of these exports for the ten years pre- vious by 155,689, These are gigantic figures, but are exactly true. Such an opening of eouthern markets to these products canrot fail to bave a direct bevelicial effect upon every farmer in Nebraska. There is no volitics in this matter, it is simply busi- ness, but this business and this com- mevee wre the divect results of policies innugurated and legislation passed by the republican party and depounced as fraudulent and false by the democratic party, These are the facts ns they must sveak to the farmor voters of America. VERMONT was expected to go repubs lican, but the democrats have been say- ing that if the majority should be 1 than was given for governor four yours ago it would be accepted as oviderce of aluch of unity and earnestness in the support of Hurrvison for ro-clection. Well, it appoars that the majorvity is somewhat below that of 1888--the full returns may show it to be several thou- sand less—but republicans generally will not borrow any trouble from this fact. Vermont will cast her electoral vote for Harrison, and whatever cir- cumstances may have contributed to reduce the republican majority on Tues- day last will very likely not be opera- tive in Novembor, when, it is safa to predict, the republican majority will be up to the usual ample figures. 1t is not easy to see how the democrats can de- rive any comfort from the Vermont election. Tue of Kernan removes the last of that quar- tette of eminent democratic stutesmen who for neurly half a century woro prominentin the counsels of their party, both in the Kmpire state and nation. death ex-Senator Francis Charles’ O’Connor, Horatio Seymour, Sumuel J. Tilden and I'rancis Kernan such men as Grover Cleveland, Roswell Flower and David Hill are ntullu('{uul pigmie: It is a re- warkable fact that Francis Kernan, Horatio Seymour and the late Roscoe Conkling led from Utica, and this il- lustrious trio made that city renowned throughout the length and breadth of the land. By the death of Mr. Kernan the democracy of New York loses one of her most trustworthy ieaders and tho state of New York one of her ablest and soundest lawyers. —— Tt 1S the dutyjof republicans of. this county to strengthen the state and” na- tionul tickets by, reinforcing them with popular and clean nominations to con- gress nnd the legis'ature. To this end all selfish ambitions must be repressed, and political hacks, boodie men and barnacles must be relegated to the rear. The mere fact that Douglas county gave over 6,000 majority to Post last year affords no assurance that anybody and everybody nominated this year will be elected. Last year peculiar conditions and elements brought on a lundslide, This year the opposition will profit by last year’s experience. It would be folly to underrate the sagacity and strength of the enemy. The nomination of a yellow dog ticket on the strength of last year’s victory would surely entail defeat. Compared with Ir i examplo of other cities is of any value in the matter of maintaining tonchers’ training schools the supporters of the training school in Omaha have a good argument. A number of cities, some larger and some smaller than Omaha, have for years maintained nor- mal schools, and if they have been found advantageous in such towns as Clove- lana and Dayton, O., why should such an institution not be beneficial here? It may be granted that there is force in some of the arguments against the train- ing schoul, but thoy donot overcome the fact that such schools have very gen- erally commended themselves to the ap- proval of practical educators and to the favor of the public. THE Board of Public Works has re- solved not fo bo trifled with by parties who have been ordered to lay permanent sidewalks, The board proposes that the instructions of the mayor and council shall be carried out without unnecessnry delay, and it will no longer accept the various excases for delay which iv is said property owners are in the habit of making. This is all right, and if the board will act withabsolute impartiality in enforcing its ‘ecreo a needed reform will be instituteflt’ There unquestiona- bly has been too much leniency shown to derelict property owners in the past. R isserior o] i Rmepesiusns THE incrense in the vowal receipts of cattle by the Union stock yards of South Omaha for the nine months of the trade’s officiul year ending September 1, 1802, over the same period of the year previous, is 111,705 head, of hogs 234,392 head, There is also an increase in sheep and horses. These figures are quite significantynd are indices of the growth and futurd of Omaha. the Theological Seminary in Omaha was a Tue opening of Prosbyterian significant event. There is no reason to doubt that such an institution may be mude a great success here and draw to it all vhe theological students of the west of the Presbyterian denomi- nation instead of compelling them to go to the enst. Omaha is the right place for such a school. ———— Tui dissolution of the Transconti- nental association is imminent, and Omaha and other western cities will re- jolce in its downfall, for it has always been manipulated in Chicago’s greeay interests. The Missouri river cities will thus be given a fair chance in compoti- tion and that is all thoy ask. of rigures, Kansas City Jowrnal. Two years ago democrats delugad the pub- lfe with figures.

It is conceded by the most prominent demo- crats that unless Senator Hill comes ont with vigor for Mr. Cleveland the latter will not have the ghost of a chance of belng elected. It can be stated upon rehabls au- thority that Senator Hill baforo leaving Washington somo wecks ago stated in s pri- vate conversation that he did not ntena to work for Mr. Cleveland’s election and fur- ther that he did uot velieve vhat the demo- cratio ticket would be elected.
