CLEAN up the city. That is the gos- pel of today. THE meeting of the telographers here revealed that all of them could tella- graphie story on the proper occasion. ALL thoughtful republicans are earn- estly requasted toattend the primaries. The rest of them will be there without fail. JERRY SIMPSON'S cumpaign opening saw 1,200 farm wagons in procession, but wo are not informed how much they charged Jerry to parade. ATTEND the primaries and place a vote where it will aid in the election of Benjamin Harrison aud a republican congressman from this district. IF CHOLERA roally travels westward, many persons here will wish Omaha wasn’t such n great railroad center, but something like an inland village.

It is certainly commendable for the assoclation to labor under such great disadvantages but it is a bad sign for the enterprise and loyalty of the other Nebraska coun- ties who refuse to take part. THE campaign in Georgin is progress- ing in the samo educational and monot- onous manner, Tom Watson and Mujor Black attempted a joint discussion on Tuesday, each to speak one hour and the first speaker to close with a fifteen- minutereply, and the “debate” oceupied atl day und was not heard by one-fifth of the audionce, while the rost was ap- plauding and cheoring, ete., in that mild, unobtrusive in way. — TuE public has boen kept informed continually and extensively with regard to the condition of the wealtiy and re- fined cabin passengers of the Norman- nia, But thero has been no picture furnishod us of the sufferings of the plaguestricken steerage pus- sengers on Swinburne island.

Tin plate works in Wales are closing every week, said this report, and the best men that have been employed in them are going to the United States. Those who have taken an optimistic | view of the situation predict that the trade will be saved from destruction by the capture of new markets to take the place of the American. On the other hand, those who take a pessimistic view of the situation and prospects, and these appear to ba the more numerous, point to the fact that sixty factories in Eng- land and Wales, formerly engaged in the manufacture of tin plate, have stopped, and that a dozen more are pre- paring to close, This situation neces- sarily mennces the ivon industry of Wales, which is less active than for- merly. Corroborative evidence of the depressed condition of the Weish tin piato industry is supplied by the Man- chester (Juodian, which stated in its 18sue of Augnst 20 that on the preceding Saturday fifteen additional Welsh tin plate works were closed *in consequence of the operations of the McKinley tariff act, and it is now estimated that about 10,000 Welsh operatives are thrown out of employment,” large numbers of whom were preparing to emigrate to this country. In tho meantime the tin plate indus- try in the United States is making stondy progress. On last Tuesday there was dedicated at Elwood, Ind., a new tin plate factory, one of the largest and most complete plants in the country of the kind, which is giving employment to several hundred men. Reference hu heretofore been mude to the last report of the special agent of the Treasury de- partment on statistics relating to the manufacture of tin plate in the United States, from which it appears that this industry has grown from nothing less than two years ago tu a production at the rate of 20,000,000 pounds a year, and the next report, to be expected shortly, will undoubtedly increase this amount. Thus while tho works in Wales are shutting down new ones are springing into existence in this country, and es pert workmen are coming hero to enable us to make tin plate that will succs fully compete in the markets of tho world, whenever we shall produce moro than the home demand, with the tin plate of Wales. It is quite enough for the present, however, to consider this industry in connection with the home market, for when we are able to produce sufficient to supply that we shall have attained one of the greatest industrial achievements in our history. Every new development goes to show that this is possible. It has been suid of the democratic party that it is the party or prediction, and if results didn’t overtake the pre- diction it would be the greatest party in the world. The democratic party pre- dicted that tin plate could not be made in the United States, and that any effort blish the industry here must in- itably prove a failure. The result has demonstrated the worthlessness of that prediction, s has been the cise with many others made from time to timo by tho same political party for the purpose of discournging the industrial develop- ment of the United States, keeping down the wages of labor, and rendering the Amoarican poople dependent upon the wanufacturers of Groat Britain, Every great industry that has grown up in this country under the fostering care of protection has at the outset met with the same objection and opposition from the democratic party which that party has made to the promotion here of the tin plate industry. WHISTLING TO KEEP UP COURAGE. Chairman Hyrrity of the demoeratic natiosal committee and the irrepressi- ble Don M. Dickinson, chairman of the campaign committee, who by reason of his rainbow-chasing tendeccies is said to be a source of constant anxiety to Mr. William C. Whitney, the chief manager of the Clevelund campaign, have issued an address congratulating the country on the resulv of the recent state clections, The fact that publican vote of Vermont and Muaine fell below that of four years ago, with which comparison is made, is regarded by Messrs, Harrity and Dickinson as evidence that “the strong tendency of public sentiment is with tne demoe- racy,” and they rvemark that “our friends everywhere uve entitled to tuke fresh courage from these results,” It is astonishing from what small things the average politician —and these gentlemen are not above the ay age—will gather hope, Ono would sup- pose that u republican plurality in Ver- mont of over 19,000 and in Maine of about 12,000, even though not so large as four years ago, would by regardod by the opposition as sufliclently formidable at this juncture, but the democratic chairmen soe in ita “tendency’ and they make haste to notify theiv paty of the discovery. Wall, let us inquir to what substantial ground thove i the assumption that the republican vote in Vermont and Maine means u ten dency of public sentiment toward the democric As to Vermont the full vote is at hand, and it shows that while the re- publicans east some 9,000 votes less thun 10 democrats made no gain, simply holaim their vote of four ye ago. The prohinitionists made gain of u fow hundred. What becams of the ropublicun votes that wore appavently lost? Why they mevely stayed from the polls. It was ¢ of inattention to political duty. persons. in the rural distriots’ particu larly, dia not tike the troublo to vote, feeling, us is L00 often and 0o genorally the case, that their votes were not needed. Undoubtedly these voters will return wu senso of their duty in No- vember aud give the candidates of the republican party an old-time plurality. Inusmuch as the democr.tic vote was not increased the “‘tendency of public sentiment” discerned by Messes, Har rity und Dickinson will hardly be seen by anybody elss. "he full figures for Maine are not yet reported, hut there is reason to oxpect that like those of Vermont they will show Lhat the democrats did o wore the 1e- us for vidently a case THE OMAHA | than hold their own. The decline in the republican vote ns compared with 1888 is fairly explained by the fact that the Australian ballot law first went into effect at the late clection, and not only did many republicans stay away from the polls but the mistakes made in marking ballots, which necessitated their exclusion from the count, told most heavily against tho republicans, Furthermore, there was too much apathy growing out of ovbreonfidence, and this may do good in arousing republicans to action in November. It will be remem- bered that in the gubernatorial election of 1880 the republicans lost the state, being defeated by an alliance of demo- crats and greenbackers on governor, a result which made the democrats all over the country jubilant. But Maine gave her electoral vote to Garlfield, and undoubtedly she will give Harrison a plurality this year as large as that of four yoars ngo. The democratic managers ave whist- ling to keep their coucage up. —— I'HE TELEGRAPHERS. The socistios of Old Time and Mili- tary telegraphers who have been the guests of Omaha for the past two days comprise a body of men who were of in- ostimaule service to the government in the period of its greatest peril. The re- bellion gave a tremendous impetus to the development of telegraphy in tho United States. A demand was made upon the inventive ingenuity of the country for methods that wouid broaden the scope and usefuiness of the tele- graph, and the men in the servico con- tributed largely to the improvements and advances that resulted from this de- mand. There wero no more patriotic men than those who engaged in the military telegraph service of the government. It involved danger, hardship and almost incessant work. The operators in the field learned some of the severest les- sons of military life, and as a rule their lines were not cast in pleasant places. They were an absolutely loyal body of men. Knowing the very innermost secrets of military operations, there is no record of one of them having ever betrayed the confidence reposed in him. They were men of courage who niver hesitated to accept any duty to which they were assigned and never faltered in its performance. Such were the intelligent, patriotic, devoted men, some of whom Omaha has entertained, and never has she had guests more worthy of her respect and hospitality or more capable of appreci- ing the consideration shown tkem. THE ENEMIES H HAS MADE, It is the habit of the mugwump friends of Grover Cleveland to profess to love him for the enecmies he has made, meaning the men in his own party who have opposed and assailed him. This implies that they conceive themselves to be superior beings, and that as Mr. Cleveland has courted their favor and thereby lost the respect of many democrats he is therefore a man of their own kind and worthy to bo the object of their most affectionate regard. But a great change has lately taken place in the attitude of these immacu- lato special champions of the ex-pres- ident. They have seen the handwriting on the wall in tho state of New York, and in sneer despevation they turn to the enemies that Clevelund has made and appeal for help. Murphy and Croker and Sheehan and Hill have been pursuaded, it is said, to withhold their hunds from the work no longer. Bourke Cockran is coming west and his clarion voice is to be heard in behalf of the inflated gentieman of whom he said in the Chicago convention: 1 believe 1t was the distinguished gentlo- man from Massachusetts, General Collins, who declared there was no democrat in this union that would vote against that ticket, but there are bebind bhim two heroes whose deeds havo not escaped the atteation of his- tory, two heroes who have led the union s Lo vietory and who have never made faces at the vanquished foe, and they will telt vou here, comrades who fought with them, heroes who sustained them and heroes who fell by their side, they will tell you that the soldier vote of New York—of whom theve ave 25,000, at loast, democratic—will ot support the nomination of Mr. Cleveland ad did ot support nim i 1888, There are many thoisands of Grand Army veterans in the west who will ba very glad to see the distinguished New York orator who so cloguently trathfully r sented their and expresse; ir sentiments spuct to the candidacy land. Mr. Cockran ons of the en- es that Cleveland has made, and as they belong to thoe samo hostile camp thoy will nuturally have a follow-feeling for the or who is about to move ubon our works. We welcome Bourke Cockran as o democrat who hasa cor- rect conception of what the old veterans want—or who at least knows what thoy do not want. The season of veterans’ reunions is now at an end, but if the eloauent Now Yorker will keep right ou teiling the country what tha battle- ved defenders of the union do not want they will give him more ovations than he ever experienced before in his life, There is a splendid field for kim in the west, for this country isfull of veterans of tho war. The enemies that Mr. Clevelund has Not alone the power- ful politicians of Tammany, but thou- sands of union ve! scatterod all over the land, with other thousands of their sympathizers, will have to be counted iu that compan, and titude in re- of Grover Cleve- is en ori made are logion, Tue free traders are always clamor- ing about “‘the markets of the world,’ thus belittling our home market and the vastness of the American nation of con- sumers. Yet the best of uuthorities de- clave that under the most favorable con- ditions not 10 per cent of all our farm products, including cotton, find a & ket outside of our country, and to in- crease that percentage the free traders wou'd ruin our home wmarket and all our wanufacturing industeles. 1E bitterquarrel that has been going on for some months between the demo- cratic factions in Now Jersoy came near culminating in the breaking up of the state convention at Trenton, It is many years siuce the New Jersey democ- vacy hus been so hopelessly divided and 50 poorly prepared to muke a successful e DAILY Bl enmpaign. Exelusive of Hudson county, which embraces Jorsey City and several suburban villages, the state has given republican pluralities in the last four presidential elections. Several causes now work together to demoralize and divide the Now Jersey democrats, and it is believed by good judges of the situation in both parties that the chance of carrying the state for Cleveland this yenr is vory slender. New Jorsoy is a manufacturing state and is therefore op- posed to free trade. Thousands of ner citizens of both parties are interested in manufacturing enterprises, while thou- sands of others are wage earners and therefore favor protection. Add to this the fact that the legislature of the state, strongly democratic in both branches, 1s on record in favor of the anthracite coal combine, and it is notdifficult tosee that the republican outlook there is brighter than it has been before 1n many years. CEESR— THE sugar beet harvest is now in pro- gross in Nebraska and farmers have begun to deliver the orop at the sugar factories. Tho crop is much botter this year than in 1890 and 1891, and as it is now matured and out of danger this im- portant contribution to the yearly in- come of the agricultural class is assured beyond question. It will bring a good deal of money into the pockets of the farmers, and to that extent it will give deep pain to the prophets of calamity. If the corn crop also jescapes harm and fulfills its present promise the disap- pointment of vthe populists will be sim- ply harrowing. —_— THr remark of Secretary Hodgin of the Nebraska State Business Men’s asso- clation that this state wants 1,000,000 more people expresses an important truth that seems to be fully recognized by those who are loading the exhibition train with products of this state, by means of which outsiders are to be shown what Nebraska can do. When they are shown samples of wheat from fioids that yielded as high as sixty bushels to the acre, and other products equally interesting, they will undoubt- edly begin to come this way ata rate that will soon muke up the additional 1,000,000 of population that is wanted.
