They supprossed the telegraphic summary of the report bocuuse it was damaging to their cause, but now they are publishing columns of arguments purporting to show that it cannot p ssibly be true. How can their roaders bo oxpected to detormine whother the ulleged refutations are worth anything or not until they have soen the stutomonts which they purport to refute?

In the course of M.

In such a hazavdous voyage the ship's crew must necessurily heed every danger signal and warning cry of the man at the helm. On the other hand, the pilot who would neglect to apprise the crew of danger and thus imperil the the lives of the passengers and safoty of the cargo would be criminally derelict to his duty and justly responsible for any disnster. In the presont campaign the republi- can party in Nebraska is embarked on a stormy political sea. Success or disaster depend entirely upon the ability of the vilot to guide the ship through the dangerous channels. It is manifestly his duty to warn the party against plac: ing its fato in the hands of candidates whose careers are tainted or whose conduct and character would subject tho party to attacks that cannot successfuily be parried. It is this function of party monitor that compells T Bk and its editor to point out the vuinerable spots in the armor of men whose ambition cannot bo gratified without jeapordizing party success. This course naturally rouses a great deal of resentment among the yellow dog stripe of politicians who imagine that a nomination in Nebraska still means an eicction as it did four or 8iX yeurs ugo. With this explanation the position of The Ber 2s regards Messrs. Scott and Morcor and other candidates wiil be more fully understood. The success of the vepublican party is more important than the gratification of the ambition of auy individual, even where he has rendered excellent No can- didate should be foisted upon the party beeause he wants o place, but because he is the best man that can be found to fill the place, and because he, of all other candidates, will meet the demands of the people for a higher grade of public servants. This is the only safe course to pursue in the present cam- puign, and for that matler in every other campaign. This is the course T Bek has mapy out for the party in the present crisis, and from this course it cannot be driven by the howl of malcontents and mutineers, whatever the consequences may be. THE FAKE FACTORY AT WORK. Wasnixaroy, D. C., Sept. 10.—Thero is a decided row in the republican natioual com- mittee which may result in the resignation of several of the members of that body unless tho differences are patchedup. A gentleman bigh in the counsels of the party who has just returned from Now York reports that the last meotiug of the national committes this week was a very stormy affair. It ap- pears that Do Young of California, Rose- water of Nevraska, Huston of Irdianauna several other western members of the com wmitteo ara disgruutled because of the failure of Harrison’s managers 1o give them the promiuence in the management of the cam- paign to which they consider themsolves ca- titied. The wostern headquarters in Chicago were estabiished ab the instance of some of these wen, but they have had very little to do with theshaping of affairs to this end, and they are growing very loud as a consequence, —Omaha World-Herald., This is another speciman brick of the product of the Omaha Fuke Fuctory. The whole story is fabri cated %ithout a shadow of foundation. There is no row in the republican na- tional committee and there has not been any discord ov threatened rupture since it was organized. Mr. Do Young of California was elected vice chairman at the first meeting of the committeo. By virtue of his position he is a member of the executive commitiee with equal au- thority of any other member. He has been on the coast for the last weelks and bas devoted his energies to the worlk devolving on him in that section. The other two members named have been assigned to work in their respective stutes with incidental co-operation west of Indiana and Illinois. There is no clashing of authority and there is not likel y to be any in the committee, and the opposition will derive very little aid or comfort from giving cireulation to such stupid fake servic THE REPUBLICAN CLU3 CONVE The national convention of lican clubs will meet at Buffalo next Thurs and it is expected to exert n valuable influence upon the republican canvass, Tho objoct of this meeting of the clubs is to consult for the advance- ment of the common cause and to con- sider ways and means for strengthening their own organizations, Thero are about 2,000,000 voters enrolied in the national league, and they will be rep- resonted in the nationul convention by about 1,500 delegates. The indications are that this will be one of the most interesting and enthusi- astic national conventions of republican clubs yet held. The most ample prep- arations huve heen mude with this end in view. Able speakers will address the convention, among them Governor MeKinley, Senator Wolcott und Con gressman Dolliver, and doubtless other prominent vepublic ns whl contribute by letter to the advoeacy of republican poliey and principles. An interesting feature of the gathering will boe the session of the American Ropublican College league, which will meet to dis- cuss pluns for perfecting and brouden- ing its organization, Iv also proposes to arcango for a speaking “campaign of education” ut points where college men chiefly congrogate. This league has at- tained u remirkuble growth and is re- ported to be steadily growing. It now contains nearly 15,000 clubs, with a membership of at least 1,500,000, and it is balieved that before clection day the total will be 2,000,000, Thus the two leagues whose delogates will meet in convention at Bulfalo next Thursday contain about 3,500,000 voters =& magnificent army of earnest, enoer- getic und zealous ropublicans whoso hearts are in the campaign and who 10N repub- will give thelr very best effoits for the success of tho vepuvlican party. [t is hardly possible to overestimmte the vuluo of this force if wisely and properly directad. Intelligent, courageous, and heartily devoted to the cause in which they are enlistad, these league m en con- stitute a power that should prove of the greatest possible advantags to the republicin party. With nearly one- third of the votarsof the country, manly young men of character and influence in their communities, concentrating theiv efforts for the cause, they cannot fail to do an immense amount of good The success of the national convention of clubs is assured, and the sound repub- lican doctrines that will be enunciated there will undoubtedly be largely help- ful to the republican canvass. A CHARACTERISTIC BLUEE, Commissioner Peck of the state of New York is to bo investigated. The managers of the democratic national campaign have designated a committee to do the work, and the commissioner will bo compelled by mandamus to give up the documents requived if he does not do so of his own free will. A deter- minod offort will be made to show that his report is not truthful and that the interests of the manufacturers and work- ingmen of the state of New York suffering, instead of improving, by re son of the protective tarift, There is nothing surprising about thi It is in perfect harmony with the imme- morial practice of the democracy. It is simply a bluff, and the democratic party always resorts to that game when it finds itsell in a corner. The demo- cuts 1n congress are always investigat- ing the acts of republican officials. They never find anything wrong, but that does not disappoint or discourage them. They do not expect to find anything WOl That is not the object of demo- atic investigating committees. It is assumed that the people will infer, from the mere fact that an investigation has been ordered, that there must be some- thing crooked that requires looking into. In this case it is a democratic offi- cial thav is to be shown up, but it hap- pens that he has been giving testimony hurtful to free trade in the pursuit of his regular duties as a statistician, and therefore he is to be turned over to the inquisitors, All who arve acquainted with demo- cratic campaign tactics will understand what this investigation maans. Peck’s report has reduced the democrats of the Lmpire state to desperation. He has hit them squarely between the eyes. Perhaps as a good democrat he would not have done it if he had realized what the effect would be, but now that the blow has been delivered he refuses to stultify himself by receding from his position. He says that his figures con- cerning the growth of manufacturing interests and the improvement in the condition of the wage earners are based upon the statemonts of thousands of manufacturers in the state of New York, including representatives of both polit- ical parties, and that he does not pro- pose to make a fool of himself by trying to impench them. Very few people will be so dull as not to understand what is meant by this pretense of investigating the re- port of the New York labor commis- sion, It is designed to create a sus picion 1n the minds of weak-minded people that the report is fraudulent. Similar :tics ave often employed by shystor law 1d others who are un- willing to stand up and take hard pun- ishment in a manly way. Itisnotlikely that there will be any serious investiga- tion, but it is thought by the free trade campaign managers that a little bluster or bluff on the subject will confuse the public mind and break the force of the commissioner’s convincing statistics. We do not believe that the people can be so easily imposed upon. MAINE TODAY. Maine will today elect state offlcers and members of the legislature. The result is awaited with interest by both repubticans and democrats, and while it is highly probable that the republican candidates wi 1 be elected, any predi tion of the result would bs somewhat hazardous. The democrats are better organized than usual and will muke ox- traordinary excertions to get out their vote, When they do this the repub- licans usually have from 10,000 to 12,000 plurality,. Two and four years ago the democrats were not out in their full strength, and the republican plurality vose 10 18,000. It is thought that this yeur the total vote will for various roa- sons fall considerably below the mini- mum. The chairman of the republican state committee said in a recent interview that it was impossible to muke as a curate a canvass under the new syste:n of voting by the Australiun ballot law as it was under the old system, and he expressed the opinion that it will be a marvel if the total vote is not reduced by the new system the first time 1t is tried. This was the case in Vermont last Tuesday and, remarkable as it may seem, the repuulicans were the losers by it. A like experience in Maine is therefore by no means 1mprobablo, There are one or Lwo things that may cost the ropublicans some votes, notably o proposed amendment to the constitu- tion, submitted by the last republican legislature, providing an educational qualification for suffrage. There are live candidates for governor in the field. THE MONEIARY CONFERENCE, The outbreak of cholera in continentul Europe is very likely 1o defer the meet- ing of the interaational conference to consider the silver question, and it prob- ably will not be held earlier than De- cember, while it may ba postponed to tho early part of next year, A delay of o month or two would be of no serious consequence, even if the conference had any other authority than merely as an advisory body, but there is a feeling that the tinancial condition of the com- mereial world, admitted to be due in reat part to the disparity of the money metals, demunds attention. The fact that the ratio of silver to go'd has for a year or more varied between 20 to 1 and 24 1o 1, whereas the coinage ratio's n Kurope 15¢ to 1 and in this country 16 to 1, presents a condition that cal's for a readjustment of the relations be- tw on the money met ls. Th> object of the conference is to OMAHA DAILY PEE: /MO DAY, consider whatles W practicable way can can be found #fthout disadvantage to ny country, 1o bying about such o read- justment. Tt W¥gono authority boyond this, but if theconference should ngree upon a plan fuwan internutional ratio and a wider use of silver in corsequence the ceveral géVérnments represented would be very likely to accopt it. Presi- dent Harrison /said in his letter of ne- ceptanee, that ¥&“may not only hope for but expect highly benoficial results from this conference, nbut since that written it has BE&H reported that there was some doubt'ds'to whether Mr. Glad- stone would approve of Bugland taking any part in the conferenve. 1f he should decide agninst the English govern- ment being represented, which under the circumstances sooms hardly proba- ble, that would doubtless put an end to the matter, as neither Germany nor France wonld care to discuss the subject independent of England, It is undoubt- edly true that Mr. Glndstone has no sympathy with the objects of the con- ference. His devotion to mono-metal- lism as it is found in the financial policy of England, is as strong as his d for free trade, But the British nment under his predecessor hav- ing accepted the invitation of the United States government to join in the con- ferencze it would seem that he would feel bound in deference to his predecessor and also from a feeling of courtesy to this government to let that arrange- ment stand. It may be remarked in tais connec- tion, us a matter not entirely irrelevant to the silver situation, that gold con- tinues to go abroad from this country, which may be accepted as indicating in some degree foreign distrust of our sil- ver policy. With the trade balance Targely in our favor the stendy outflow of gold is an unnatural movement that is not satisfuctorily - explaned by the statement that European holders are parting with our railway securities. was OMA1A people interested in that most bracing sport, foov ball, will have an opportunity on Thanksgiving day of witnessing n contest likke that between Harvard and Yale at New York each yeur.

H. ———— NEW BOOKS 4ND PERIODICALS, There is a new west with a local flavor, alandscape and a social life as distinctively characteristic as those of any country in Eu- rove, or as New England, the middle states and the south, But the field bas not been well tilled, and with one_or two exceptions it remains without literary prophets. It has not produced a single immortal poem and 1t is doubted if it has produced a single endur- ing work of fiction, although a young woman not unknown to many Omaha peobie has come nearest giving to the reading public a novel of excentional merit and one that gives evidence of enduring fame, Miss Mimnio Gilmore, daughter of the famous band- master, Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore, whose story, “'A Son of Esau," has just been issued from the press of Lovell, Coryell & Co., New York. (n the last ten years the literary possibili- ties of the soutn have received marked at- tention at the hands of puolishers and maga- zines. The quaint life, the odd dialects and the picturesque environments of the south- ern states nave been put before the world with a vividuess and attractiveness that must be hizbly gratifying to the people who live south of Mason and Dixon’s line. But with the possibis exceptions of K. W. Howe, the philosopher and humorist of the Atch son Globe, Mary Halleck Foote, Octavo Thanet, Patience Stapieton, Charles F. Lummis, Waiter Ballestier, and several minor writers there has becu no movement to give the same opportunities to the pruirie laud and the beautiful intermountain region comwprised in tho new west, that blossoming iaud which occupies one.third of the con- tinent between the Missouri river and the Sierra Nevadas. But Miss Gilmore's tenso and dramatic story of moral shipwrecks gives hope that the day 1s not fur distant when the new west will be as well known to the casual reader as the south is, under the tutelage of Charles [gbert Craddock George W, Cable, Richard Malcoim John, son, Mrs. Burton Hurrison, Amelia Rives, Hopkiuson Smith, I'rances Courtney Bayior and scores of others who have written stories and sketches of Virginia and the south Atiantic states. **A Son of Ksau” is ambitious to a degree and acals with that most fruitful of themes, the love of man and woman. Although one cannot hide one's eves at times to the inten- sity of the passion ready to break out in white heat at the slightest intimation that such would be tolevated, upon the part of the sweet, lovable heroine of the story, from the magnificeut nimal, Steelo Harriman, Ahe hero, 1t 1s full of tnhe poetry and the music which has been part of the lifo of the author sinco hor earhest childhood, and throughout she shows a naster comprehon- sion of what are the leal equitics in modrrn composition. The story fills a place in liter- ature as the oratorio does in music, and is the legitimate orchestral composition’ to ber first liverary effort, “Pipes from I’rairie Land,” almost all of which were written amid the ecvironments of a Nebraska bome, Back of the portrayal of unbridled passions, of shady transactions, of flashy cuaracters in’ the days gone by in every western back of “the tragedy which is as in- evitable as death, there runs a strong relig- ious sentiment, whicb is the reflection of the life of the young auihor, whose school days were. psssed within the shadow of the convent. While the story deals with moral lepers. of friendships blasted, of friends ruined, of debauchery covered by the cloak of these fin de seicle days, there 15 a beautiful faith pictured ana a holy churity sugeestea which covers a multitude of short- comdngs. In development it is a moael, inits dencument the strongest dramatic ioxtincts in life have been brought under subjection. Yet withal the story is not impossible, on the contrary ir I8 common enough, in the maopner of its workiug out does its rarity chiefly consist. Some of the charac- ters ure easily recognizable, the Rushings, the governor and his wife of Nobraska, are the counterfeit presentiments of Mr. and Mrs, R. C. Cushing of this city. In Mrs. Anoabel Rorke, *'a cultured and brilliant woman of social tact and charm,’” we 0o the author's aunt, Mvs. Aunnie M. Rorke of Plattsmouth, with whom Miss Gilmore has spent mauy summers and winters, and it | wus amid those surroundings the novel was suggesied, some of the characters being well kuown Plattsmoutn people. And 1t may be that the village of Newtield is Platts- mouth somewhat idealized for the purposes of tho writer.

That 1s protty good, but here 1s somethine else: *“T'he heroine, Phyl- lis, quietly reposed in a graceful hammock, surrounded by the fiery erimsons, and in- tonse yollows of tiger ltites, salvias, poppies and other midsummer blossoms. She up- peared to be a torrid maiden who doveloped her true personality only when summer came; and at this particular time. a warm. languid glow crept deliciously through her blood."
