GoODp nominations mean easy elec- tions and bad nominations mean easy defeats. This is a primary lesson in politics Lo which tho republican voter of Omahu ave requested to direct thei attention just now. A PETITION has been filed by the re- publicans of the Seventh ward in favor ol the eandi of Mr. George Nat- tinger for the city council. Mr. Nat- tinger would make a very safo and useful member of the city council. WHEN o contractor i wrded an work by tho city he should be strictly held to the performanco of his agree- ments, not only as regards the quantity and quality of materials used but as re- gards the timo when the work is to bo completed. SOLICITOR ~ THURSTON makes tho threat that if the city does not soon come toterms on the union depot ques- tion the Union Pacific will go anhead and build a depot. The city of Omaha may possibly survive the consequences if this threat be carried out. THE labors of the American hen having their reward. In 1890 the impo on eggs were $2.074,912, while during tho pust year they are hut $322,240 and the poultrymen have received the dif- ference, $1,552,672. by the wise provi- sion of the tariff law, THE iliness of Mrs. Harrison has as- sumed a dangerous form and the greatost concern will be felt all over this country regarding the outcome of her illness, not because she is the wifo of the president, but because of that sorene and noble womanhood which Americans ever honor and of which she is 80 wWorthy an exponent. PeErRnAps J. J. West is at last fres from criminal and civil law suits, His career has been especially moteoric. A country school teacher in Tows, an ob- ecure country editor, a book publisher in Des Moines, gaining some wealth, then the sudden leap to fame in Chicago as the publisher of the sensationul Chicago ‘limes, great success appar- ently, then the smushup, arrest, sen tence, new trials and ut last discharge. AT rnE annual meeting of tho Manu- facturers and Consumers association the statement was made by one of the mem- bers that 75 per cent of the brick laid on tho streets of Omuha are imported from Missourl and Illinois. Leaving the merits of brick pavements out of the question, it is evident that if they are to bo used at all the brick should ve pro- duced in this city. It is unnecessary to enter into any argument to show that the importation of 75 per cent ol the paving brick used here is u direct loss to the community. IT was heralded boldly before the Omaha convention that the people’s party would make an emphatic resolu- vion against the force bill. Why they did mot is just now apparent. At the executive joint session of the committee at St. Louls Monday it was decided to ask for federal supervision and inter- vention in all of the southern states, as without it thoy could not have fair elec- tions. The republican party hus said this for years and the southern people have lnughed at them and denied it Now the boot 1 on the other leg of this new organizution and thoy screum. Tue report of the auditing committee of the Manufacturers associntion shows that organization to be in a highly prosperous conditio, Althouzh the associution is yot young and his had to encounter many diliculties and moet muny expensos it onds its (ivst year with o cash balance on hand of #1,7903.69, ex- clusive of a considerable sum outstund- dvg thav will soon be in the treasu-y. The work of the yewr has been thor- oughly and encrgetically done and muny important interests of Nobraska have been furthered thercby. Some interesting reports concorn.ng this work will be presented at the meeting of the directors next Mooday, ut which time executive ofiders will be elected and plans for the coming year will be further discussed, 200 | 1w | THE RESULT IN MAINE. The Pine Tree state is all right. Sho | holds her place in the list of republican commonwealths, The Australian ballot Iaw had its first trial there in Monday's election, and as uniformly Lappens in such cases the vote was reduced. The chairman of the repubiican state com- mittee estimates the reduction at 12,000 from the vote of 1888, and this fully ac- counts for the decline in the republican majority, which is estimated at 10,000 by the sume authority. These figures will undoubtedly be somewhat changed by tbe compiete returns, but in ovent the explanation of the fact that the republican plurality is less than that of four years ago will be found in the operation of the new ballot law, which \id, however, was genorally satis- factory. That the republicans gained so sweep- ing a victory is a matter for congratula- tion, for it must be confessed that before the election the situation did not appoar to warrant implicit confidence n such complete republican success, There were local considerations affecting the eanvass which promised to greatly favor the demorrats, Therefore to have elected n governor, the four congress- men and two-thirds of the members of the logislature is a victory sufliciently decisive to justify republicans every where in congratulating themselves. Undoubtedly democrats will endeavor to extract some comfort from the fact thav the republican lead is not so great as it was in recent presidential years, as they have done in the case of Vermont, and will cite it as evidenco of a growing popular disfavor toward reoublican poli s and principles, but they will hardly find such an effort protitable. There is nothing in the result of the elections in those two states which offers 1y encouragement to democratic hopes, They ar urely republican, as it is not to be doubted the other New Eng- Jand states ure, with the possible excep- tion of Conneeticut, and even the latter, which gave Cleveland in 1858 only plurality, is very likely to give electo dates this year. New Ingland does not want free trade, nor do her intelligent peonle helieve that protection is uncon- stitutional. Neither does that section desire *reforni in the financial system of the country us are proposed by the democratic party in the restora- tion of state bank and the free and unlimited coinage of silver. It is its such issues entirely sufe to predict that every New “ Engls state which gave its electoral vote to the republican candidates in 1888 will its fidelity to republican principles in 1802, and probably by in- creased majorities. There cvery reason why repub- licans everywhere should take courage and confidenee from tho result in Muine and unquestionably this will be the elle show A CAMPAIGN ARGUMENT, The prosent national eampaign stands out in bold relief as the cleanest one in the history of the country. The pas- sions of men have not been aroused to the extent of making them forget the decen- cies and proprietios of political warfare. It is a contest of argument and reason und common sense; principles are at stake which are recognized as more im- portant than party ascendaney or the sue- cess of uny candidate for high honors. In the support which the parties are giv- ing to their vespective presidential can- didates there is no hero worship. The candidates distinetly represent cortain principles to which their are em- phatically and unequivoeally committed. ‘The democratic party supports the free trade idea with great enthusiasm and puts its faith in Grover Cleveland as an ideal representative of that policy. With equal zeal the republicans support pro- tection and rally about President Harri- son as the porfect represontative of the protective idea. Is is natural enough thav both candidates should be subjected to criticism in various ways, but abuse and virulent detraction have no placo in this campaign, It is a contest in which arguments are presented for the candid consideration of the voters of the coun- tr I'rom now antil the ¢ paign overy man who r papers or listens to speeches from tho stump should endeavor to weigh the evidence carefully and try to determine whether the intevests of this country, including these of all clusses of people, will be best promoted by protection or by free trade. Let due consideration bo given to established facts, and let the traths which stand the assau'ts of op- ponents bo given their due weightin the final judgment. This is the republican position in this contest. Believing thatit has the trath on its side the republican party invites the closest scrutiny of all the evidence which it prosents for the consideration of the people, and at the sumo time it asks every mun to subject the stute- ments and theories of the f-ee trade de- mocracy to the most careful anl im- partial examination, Upon these lines the eamp iign in behalf of Harcison and Ried and the principles for which they stand has been marked oat, the repub- lican party haviag foundsi its hopes of success upon the good senss und intelli- gence uf tiio American people, IMMIGRATION AND 1HE CHOLERA. No one has shown greater solicitude for the protection of the people of the United Stutes against an invasion of cholera thun | dent Harrison, and he hus exeicised the authcrity vested in him with promptoess and good judg- ment. He could have gone much further than he has with the certainty of popular approval, bat he very prop- erly determined that there should not be even an appearance of usurnation of authority on the part of the general government, but that it should simply co- overate with the states in efforts 10 ex- clude from our shoves the dreaded pesti- lence. The order issued by the Treasury depurtment Septomber 1, requiring quurantive detention of twenty duys, was accompunied with the explunation thut it was not intended to interfel with the state quarantine laws, and this hus sinee been reiterated by the secretary of the treasury. This conservativeaction ought to have been a suflicient warning to the steam- ship companies not to bring to this country passengers from the infected d of the ads the news- any | ( vote to the republican candi- | THE OMAHA ports of Europe, but it wi | companies continue to receive emigrants from the cholera districts whose desti nation is the United States In a dis- patch to the secretary of the treasury Last Saturday the president character- ized this course of the companies as an outrage and directed the secretary to | notify them that they must stop it or tho alternative would be to turn back such pest-lnden vessels. There is a nearly universal demand in the east that the general government shall summar- ily put a stop to immigration, even if there is no specific law to warrant such action. The attorney general holds that the president has ample jurisdiction to restrict immigration without interfer- ing with the state quarantive laws, and there is other high legal authority in support of this opinion. However this may be, the feeling is that in such an exigency the government might very properly strain its authority somewhat, and a strong pressure is being brought tobear upon the president to induce him to adopt more radical measures for checking immigeation at this time. Those who are far removed from the | danger may not be able to fully appre- ciate the anxiety of those who are in ciose proximi it, but tho demnd for a restriction of immigration at this time is altogether natural and defensi- ble, and if the president should determine to oider that vessels infected with cholera shall be turned back and notv permitted to enter American waters there can be no doubt that vhe action would receive the approbation of tho country. It would inevitably result in some havdship, but solf-p-eservation is the first law of nature, and if the steam ship companies persist in taking emi- grants from the infected districts the ouly certain safeguard against the invasion of cholera is that which the president suggests may have (o be adopted. AN INTERESTING RAILROAD WAR. One of the most interesting railroad wars of recent times is that which the Pennsylyania company is waging against the Reading. The ight is entirely con- | fined to coal freights, and the Pennsyl- vania is fixing its tolls without regard to tho interests of the various railroad com- panies interested 1n the great anthracite deal. The Pennsylvania company is rich and independent, and is well pre- pared in every respect to hold its ground | ugainst its powerful rivais. It claims that it is charging its full proportion on the haul to New York, but it appears that the Reading is trying to compel the Pennsylvania railroad to make u pro- hibitory rate to New Yorlk, or one which would practically deprive the latter of any New York customers. Having failed to wecomplish this in the ordinary way the Reading has made local rates from | the mines over its own lines to junction points on the Pennsylvanin so high that the latter cannot take coal from the Rending at junction pointsand transport it to competitiyve points at a profit. The Reading proposes to control the anthracite coal business at any cost, but it looks as if it had undertaken a big contract in attempting to force the Poonsylvania company into line. No- body supposes that the latter company a straw for the interests of the oppressed consumers of anthracite coal, but so long as it holds out against the combine, no matter what its purposes muy be, it wiil command the approval of the public. The Pennsylvanin com- puny is now opening branch roads which will give 1t.a inrgely increased coal ton- nuge, and there many indications that it intends to continue its fight against the combine, A prominent castern journal devoted to economic guestions has neen making some investigations which show that the high price of anthra is causing householders to economize in the use of fuel. Families that have hitherto ordered from fifteen to twenty tons of coal at this scason are now taking but two or three tons at a time. This ex- plains the dullness of which dealers complain und the large and growing surplus which the combine says 13 the cause its restricted production and increased prices. This result of the oppression of the people by u monopolists is a perfectly natural Consumers of any commodity can always find some way 10 cconomize. If every funily in the United States should shorten its consumption of anth te to the extent of only one ton per year the aggregate reduction would be great enough to seriously affect the producers. The combine will sec the truth of this before next spring. cares are of zonl one. "HE UNION DECOL TINKERS, The union depot committee will meet again to discuss the propriety of nccent- ing the terms offered by the railroads for a quit claim deed to all the rights and title the city possesses to the depot grounds and a cancelation of the con- tract by which the Union Pacific on the one hund und the depot company on the other are obligated to give access at reasonable rates to ell railroad com- panies that desire to enter Omaha to their bridge and terminals, Now the question is whether Omaha will be the gainer or losor by accepting these conditions. We have submitted for twenty years to wretched depot facilitios in abrick cowshed and for two years past to more wretched facilitios in o woodshed and no facilities in a sky- parior. Omaha can stand this outrage and imposition for two years loager if need be, rather than give up all the rights she hos ever had to the $1,000,000 depot grounds donated under conditions that never have been complied wivh and wipe out by one single act all the obli- gations thit the Union Pacific and the dopot company ussumed. Withoutany agresmant whatever, and without a doilur of bonus in lands or bonds, Omaha is entitled to y passongar station eommensurate with her popula tion and commerce. She has been twice imposed upon by pictures of depots and pluns that remained on paper. The union depot begun adjacent to the via- duet is pronounced by every disinter- ested railroad man an abortion. It will be very difficult of access from the via- Auet, which is its only approach, and very inconvenient for pisseagvues who will be compelled to climb up or down the vinduet, The council and the committoe may be led to believe that this is the best we DAILY BE} under presenticonditions. THE Bee does not agred Affth that view and hun- dreds of the Myagviest property owners are in accordiwith it. They want this depot muddle $Kftled right. They want to sec a depot built that will be accessi ble and commadjous.

There is no use for the committes to tinker with the depot question until the companies agree to give Omahn what she is entitled to—a union depot in fact as well a8 1n name, ana a depot that will endure the wear and tear of the in- creased traffic in a eity of at least 250,000 population. depots ILABLE, The backers of Me. Dave Mercer had botter bottle their wrath. This is not a question of good feliowship, persoaal frisndship or political hostility. The editor of THE BEE testified under outh before the United States Pacific railway commission concerning the cor- ruptionand debauchery of the legislative lobby. He testified among other things that Dave Moer was with others a member of the oil-room lobby at Lin- coln. Thut fact was corroborated by other witnesses, notably William I\ Gurley and John M. Thurston. His and their testimony has been published by the United States nnd is nccossible to the public and will be within reach of the candidates for congress on the op- posite side. in the face of such evidence the editor of Tk Bek cannot stultify himself or this paper by endorsiag Mr. Mercer for congress, evon if he were otherw! fitted tor the position or entitled to such « high place at the hands of the party. It has been the boast of repubiicans in tho present campaign that the party has presented to the people candidates whose records are untainted. It cannot and it should not recede from this high purpose. Wae cannot hope to command success this year unless we deserve it by presenting clean and capable mon for the suffrages of the people. In taking that position the editor of "'uk Bre is not assuming to dictate who shall bo honored, but he simply discharges a disagreeablo duty in pointing out who among the aspirants for leading posi- tions are not available, A USEFUL AND GROWING TION, The Manufacturers and Consumers As- sociation of Nebraska has just entered upon the second year of its existence. When organized in September, 1891, it was generally regarded as an expori- ment, the success of which was al- together problgmatical, but the thirty or forty practioal men who then en- tered into the work of organizing the manufuacturers of thestate and promot- ing the policy of patronizing home in- dustries had strong confidence that it would succeed, and their efforts were de- voted earnestly and effectively to that end. The result bas most fully justified their faith. Today the organization has a membor- of 214, and the annual statement for the year shows it to be in excellent financial condition. What the assoc tion has accomplished in stimulating the manufacturing industries of the state and in increasing the home demand for the products of those industries has been of very great value. There is hardly a maoufacturing enterprise in Nebrasia, if there be one, that has not been benefited by its influence. 1t 1s uot too much to say that it has been in- strumental in creating a demand for articles of home manufacture that is 50 per cent greater than a year ago, which of course involves a considerable in- crease in the labor employed 1n these industries and a largely augmented dis teibution of money among the people. Another excellent result is in bring- ing manufacturers into closer and more cordial relations and inciting them to work together in the common interest. They have had exomplified the time- honored maxim that **in union therve is strength.” Still another good effect has been in encouraging our manufac- turers to produce articles which can successfully compete in quality with like articles made elsewhere, this being one of the prime coaditions to the con- trol of the home market. In other m- portant rvespects the association has exerted a wholesome influence and amply viodicated the wisdom of its or- ganization. Under its auspices the best exposition of the industries of No- braska ever made was held in Omaha lust June, giving the paople a gratify- ing revelation of the extent and variety of the manufactures of this stato, The association’ is making steady progress. It long “ago passed out of tho experimental suitd, and can now ba re- garded as a permanent institution, des tined to continnously aid in promoting the industrial progress of Nobraska. Having most conclusively demonstrated its value in this, pespect it caonot ba necessary to urgesupon thoss manufac- turers who are not members of the associntion the expadiency of identify- ing thomsolves wikh the association and helping on the goofl work in which i is engaged. i ORGANIZA- TiE stroct railway oable has arrivea at last and pedestiians in the north pary of town have ¢ause for rejoicing. —_— Can't Pull Toget St Pad Pionesr Press, Stevenson's tongue aud Cleveland's pen are ily team and will dump the demoorac, in the diteh as handily as auybody could ask.

[SOUTH DAKOT POLITICS Senator Pettigrew's View of the Fusion Arrangement, REPUBLICANS CAN DEFEAT THE COMBINE Uniton Veterans of That State Can Not Be Persunded to Do Anything to Promote the Interests of Grover Cloveland, Wasnizarox Buneau oF T Bes, | 513 POURTEENTH STRERT, Wasuizaroy, D, C., Sept. 18, Senator Pettigrew. of South Dakota was in the city today on his wav to New York. He came directly from his homo atSioux Falls. After oarofully looking arouad over South Dakota, which is strongly tainted with the alliance movement aud where the domograts aud independonts have fixed up a smart sciiomo to fuse, Senator Pettigrew hus come to the couclusion that surely the re- publican state ticket and very probably the republican eloctoral ticket will be clected in November. Ho says the inaependants placed a ticket in tho field and then tho democrats vominated a full ticket, at the same time conferring fuli power upon the domocratic state committoe to wizhdraw any portion of tho state ticket that it should deem aavis- able, How the Sche Is Arranged, “I'ho schome is," said tho senator to Ttk Ber corrospondont this morning, *“to witn- draw the domocratio electoral canaidates at the last moment and supvort the alliance or independent candidatos for tue electoral col- (oo and trade off all the state ticket on both sudes and elect the independont candidates for tho electoral colloge. 1 learn that this schemo is bewg workod overywhero it is possible. Tae idea is to increase tie demo cratic strangth in the presidential tiold by throwing the eloction of tho national tickot 1mto the house of representatives, “1 don’t believe the old-time republican farmer of South Dakota wiil bo duped by such a trick into supporting democracy. Why, any intelligont furmer can sco that a vote for an alliance candidate for elector is a vote for Cleveland and tho worst element that we have been fighting since long before the war, Our folks (tho ropub- licans) aro greatly cancouraged. We think we are going to carry New York. The bot- ting is in favor of Harrison. I think the re- sult of tho Maine clection will do us wood if the majority does not get too larze. A small majority in Maino is what we want for our foliks and to wake thom up.” Preparing for the President’s Return, Mr. and Mrs. Russell B, Harrison arrived at the white house yesterday afternoon and last night the former left town again, his destination being vresumably Loon Lake, ‘'ne news of Mrs. Harrison’s condition has mot heen reassuring.
