Andit is time the people of Nebraska saw just where that line lies. THE republicans of the Sixth ward nro to be congratulated on repudiating Biatherskite Stephens, who trained with Stuht in disgracing Douglus county at the late state convention No marrErR how well Omaha'’s city authoritics guard against the cholera, their work will not avail if the citizens do not all do their part. This is is an important matter to consider, SixX weeksonly areleft to this campaign and it must be six weeks of constant, per- pistont work by republicans to explode the heresies and expose the fallacies and falsehoods of the' two calamity pe | & eandic WHAT a tecrible ket the contribu- tors to that western campaign fund will make when all these states are carried by Harrison, easily and by good majori- ties! They will all demand an itemized #ccount, but they won't get it. It SHOULD be a matter of congratula- tion to our citizens to learn tnat the Omaha park system is being extended and improved. There is nothing more nttractive and delightful than these ‘lungs of the city.” THE democrats of this county have opened the congressional campaign with nnother Kilkenny cat fight between the “‘slotter house” and *‘packing house” factions. The air in Omaha is full of chunks of harmony. ONE Omuha doctor suys that people are doing too much worrying in ad- rance over tho possibility of cholera coming. He advises them to clean up and feel safe. And this is not such a bad prescription, ertner. JOiIN J. INGALLS is homeward bound and prepared to show up the fallacies ot tho bourbons and malcontents by his pertinent and stinging speeches with the ndded information gained by study of the conditions of luborin foreign coun- tries. Now that Judge Scott is fairly knocked out, those of his supporters who desire republican success in this district will do well to help nominate a candidate ‘who needs no whitewash and who will command popular confidence by reason of his high character. —e THE discord in the democratic camp should not inspire republicans with the iden that a yellow dog ticket will sweep the county, The party must nominute reputable and reliable men and take no chauces upon winning by reason of dissension in the camp of the enemy. 1THE republicans ot this district now have a splendid opportunity to turn asido from quarreling demagogues and rend to congress a gifted, able man. T'he opportunity should not be allowed 10 escupe and there are plenty of good men from whom a choice may be made. ONE thing is certain, it won’t require many more such duays as yesterday to put Nebraskn’s wonderful corn crop out of all danger of frost. Old Mondamin has had a very lively time of it this year dodging wet weather and drouth, hot weatber and cold, but he seems to have come out of itall right in the end. Now that the democrats have ceased yolling over Maine and Vermont, it comes to light that the democrais lost two members of the legislature in Maine and nineteen in Vermonl, as compared with two years ago. We can see why the bourbons should rond their garments over these facts, but not in gladuess HE voters of this county have a re- markable habit of brenking away from purty lines and voting for the best man. They did it in 1890 and 1891, And they are in o temper to do the same thing this year-on congressman, That fact demands that a very able man be chosen at the republican congressional conven- tioa, TIE LAST APPEAL Now that the demoerats have nomi- nated Judge Doane, it becomes a matter of for revublicans to name te who is his peer in character and ability. The republicans have no margin in this district nn an hove to win if their dnt every republican vote and draws upon the mon who are in the habit of for tho bost men of all parties. Judge Doanc a didate whose strength with this class of voters republicans must not underrate. Although the average democratic vote last fall fell ‘way behind the aggrecate republican vote, Judge Doane received nearly 2,500 more votes in this county than did.Judge Scott, who was running on the republi enn ticket It would be sheer lunacy to match agninst such a candiduts any man who does not command the good will, respect and confidence of the community, It needless to repeat that neither Mercer nor Judgo Scott can ropublican vote of this district. Judge Scott has mnde himself impossible by his arrany demagogy, his monomanin for oTice, ana hig perioaic vutbursts of ill-temper and his bilking of Dave Mercer has never boon n possibility for congress any more tnan he isa pos sibility for the supreme beach. He s lucking in ability and his cavcor as n corporation lobbyist bars him from the confidence of business men end all con- ntious republicans who will not vote to send a man to the national legislature who hired himself out to debauch the stute legisiature with whisky, wine and worsoe thin, It hus been a painful and thankless task for i BEE to admonish the party against committing itseif to seif-seeking candidates who are doomed to defeat and whose nommation will imperil tho national, state and legislative tickets But it is a duty which Tue BEE can not shir cossity only can holds voting is Cal is creditors. THE DIFFERENCE, The commercial and financial situs tion in Bngland is looked upon with pro- found apprehension by the business m of that country. Receunt commercial dis- asters and difficulties in hanking circ are attributed lurgely to tho redu condition and the unsettled mong the wage-earning classes. Tho run upon the Birkbeck bank in London, which would have wrecked the institu- tion if the Bank of KEngland had not come to its aid with unlimited funds, is believed to huve been caused entirely by the uneasiness of the small depositors, many of whom are workingmen. Many of the building socicties of England, which are the depositories of the poorer asses, have lately been wrecked by reason of withdrawals due to the finan- cial distress of the people. In the cot- ton spiuning districts many ave out of employment and reduced to absolute want. It is well known that during the past yoar the cotton industries of England have fallen below their average of pro- duction and this bas thrown many peo- ple out of employuient. Reduced wages in nearly all industries, and particularly among the silk weavers, have also played a part in bringing about the present distress amoug the working classes. Employes of the silk mills, when working for cleven shillings por week, were obliged to submit to still further reductions, Reduced wages and lack of employment have wrought havoe among the wage-earners of England of late and there seems to be little prospect of an improvement in their condition. There is no disposition among Amer- icans to rejowce at the commercial stagnation or the unfortunate condition of workingmen in England, but it is pecfectly proper to congratulate our own people upon the contrast between their situation and that of our neighbors across the sea. We believe that the American protective policy is very largely responsible for the diffcrenco; and it is not too much to expect that all classes in any way interested in the prosperity of our wage-carners and the growth of our industrial entorprises will recognize the value of that poliey and give it substantial support. THE POPULIST CA\DIDATES ACCEPT. After traveling about in fift2on states announciug themselves as candidates for president and vice president of the United States General Weaver and Gen eral Iields, ‘*one of the blue, the other of the gray,” have issued an ad- dress *“formally notifying the public” of their acceptance of the nominations and of their acquiescenco in the principles of the peoplo’s party. It was, of course, quite unnecessary for them to do this, but it is in pursuance of a practice that has the authority of long usage, and doubtless the populist candidates felt tha. the time had come for them to sound a ‘‘keynote.” The new party does not appear to be doing well. There is evidence in various quarters that it is losing ground. The experieuce in Alabama and Arkansas was not encour- aging vo its hopes in thesouth, if itever veally had any, and there aro indica- tions that it is in process of disintegra- tion in the northwest. Tho ecircum- stances called for an appeal from the leaders and it has come. It need hardly be said that it has the familinr calamity ring to it. The address declares tha the peop'e are in poverty, that they are being robbed on every hand, that labor is lurgely unemployed, that wages are un- remunerative, and that all the social and economie conditions are radically wrong. Unfortunately there is a considerable pumber of people, some of them of fair intelligence, who will believe this, and therefore it is necessary to take notice of it. What are the facts ? The com- morce of the country, foreign and do- mestic, has been greater during the last two years than ever before in the his- tory of the country in a corresponding period. The returns of banking institu- tions, savings and othess, show a higher average of prosperity than ever before. Investigation by a committee of the United Stutos senate composed of repub- licans and democrats and reports of the labor commissioners of New York and Massuchusetts show that labor was bet tor paid in 1591 than o 1800, The growth of industries during the pist yeur or two made u demand for a large swount of labor, and all trustworthy informa- tion is that the labor of the country is wore fully employed now thau for muny 2 feeling Dave | poll the full | THE OMAHA yenrs bofore, tins where this is not the case, but tak ing the whole country through work is haing dono at pstter pay, the purchasing powor of monay sidered, than ever before in our history. It must be admitted that nopolios, trusts, and Messrs, more boing con- money sharks, but Weaver and Fields would find it extremely difficult to demonstrate how these evils could be gotten rid of undor the policies proposed by the people's party. The remedy cevtainly would not be found in a fint currency and in sub- tronsury schomes. There is one feature of this address that is meritorious. It is that declares the inviolability of a free ballot and fair count to be necessary to the per- potuity of fres institutions and repro- sentative government, If the populist leaders could so impress this view upon their party in the south as to induce it to make an earnest effort to secure in that section a free billot and fair count it would accomplish one of the oitest services to the country ever political puryyy but there little probability that they will b to do this. hers i that the southern populist is any botter than the southern democrat when it comes 1o the question of giving the ne- gro the right to vote as he plenses. Tt is havdly probable that the nddross of Gener Weaver and Fields will muke the impression wiich its uutbors doubtless expect it to make. The ca- famity ery hus ubout censed to have any influence with intelligent men who keep themselves informed as to the real con- ditions about them and in the country at lurge, Prustworthy statisties, scces sible 1o everybody, disprove the asser- tions that the country is not prosperous and that the people are impoverished, and neither the populist nor the demo- cratic leaders can mislead well-informed volers by any such statemen a is avle Is A Consume glad to le combine is POPULAR REMEDY. of conl will undoubtedly be wn that the great anthracite meeting with serious opposi- tion in the wariet from the producers of bituminous coal. The Coul Trade Jour- nul, which does not appear to be influ- enced by sympathy with the monopolists on the one hand or their enemies on the other, presents reports from - all of the prineipal cities which show that the an- thracite trade is rapidly falling off and that the demund for soft coal is con- stantly increasing. There are two cuuses for this. In the first place the people naturally resent the efforts of the combine to rob them; in the second place they will always seek to bring their living expenses within their means. From every one of the leading in the United Stutes the reports indicate a reduced salo of anthracite. The aggregate of the reduction in sales most inevitably produce a strong effect upon the monopoly, and at the same time the movement of bituminous coal will be greatly stimulated. The theory upon which the anthracite combine is based is that the product of its mines is the only practicable fuel, and that the peopie are absolutely oblized to use it. The prodigious con sumption of anthracite coal of late years and the neglect of other fuel has af- forded some ground for this belief, but the present demand for soft conl and coke shows that the anthracite barons do not completely control the situation. There is plenty of bituminous coal available in almost every m rket. 1t is not a des ble fuel in comparison with anthracite, but in a case of emergency like the present it can be made to serve the purpose. President McLeod of the Reading company, who is at the head of theanthracite combine,testified the other day before the senate investigating com- mittee that the price of anthracite had been advanced because the companies interested in tho deal had more coal on hand than they could sell. They had to make a profit somehow. and as the out- put of their mines exceeded the demand it was necessary to raise the price in order to prevent loss, This will not be considered by rational people as a justi- fication of the oppressive policy which the monovoly has adopted. So weak an argument dese 9 N0 serious considera- tion. The consumers of coal cannot be expeeted to bestow any sympathy upon grasping monopoly that has over uched itsell. As there is no immediate pro breaking the anthracite monopoly it is somewhut comforting to reflect that bi- tuminous coal and coke muy be made to meet the needs of the people. It ap- pears that these comparatively cheap fuels are now being extensively used in many cities whore anthracite has hith- erto been almost exclusively employed, and it is to be oxpeoted that the west will place great dependence upon its soft e fields so long as the combine vemains in control of the anthracite market. One thing the west has not yet learned, and that is the value of coke as a substitute for anthrucite coal. The coke ovens of Pennsylvania produce coke that is almost equal to anthracite. It is sold 1n sizes suited to the furnace or the range and is admirably adapted to do- mestic uses, The bituminous coul mines of the west afford a field for the coke- maker, and if an article equal to that produced in Pennsylvania were placed upon the western murket it would cer- tainly meet with a large sale. But putting aside all considerations of ecoaomy, it is gratifying to know thut the prospects of the anthracite combine are growing cloudy. The re- duced consumption of its products now veported all over the country affords ground for vhe hope that it will soon die a natural death even if it is not crushed out of existence by the courts, THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. Washington city will be the center of interest this week for the old soldiers of the country, The national encamp- ment of the Graud Army of the Rep lic, for which preparations have been making for months past, will open to- day, aad the attendance of veterans is expected to be larger than at any pre- vious encampment.

[t is possible that the “colos line” question may be again brought up, but if so it will undoubtedly be disposed of as it was at the last en- campment, by declarving the colored vo eran to be entitled to equal considera- tion with his white comveade. The Grand Army of the Republic will never dis- criminate between the men who fought to preserve the union on account of color. It is to be hoped thateverything will be propitious, and that the veterans will have a week of unmixed pleasure.

Evorywhore the stars and stripes wore visible, aud oid glory never seomed so beautiful, Peunsylvania avenue seems to bo a priucipal resort of the crowds, and veterans in the old blue umform mix with strangers, sightscers and fakirs selling badges, At various pownts along the avenus small Kkiosks painted red, wuite and blue are placed bearing the we “bireau of infor- mation.” In theso hittlo booths ave seated men Who are supposed to kuow everything and tell overybody everytaing he wishes to kuow. Weary old soldiers, tired of sight seeing, took possession ot the stands along the avenue to rest themselves and many o little lunch party enjoyed the moruing seated on theso steps.

Revisiting Old L Squads of veteraus have been trudging through the streets and suburbs of the cit locating old landmarks of the war. Many of them gathered about Ford’s theater, in which Prosident Lincoln wus assassinated and there were innumerable stories ex- changed of that drawatic night. Some of them invaded the ola house opposite IFord's theater, where Lincoln wus carriod after © was shot and where ho died. Other squad of the veterans crossed tho rickety ~long bridge,” which was the main thoroughfare of the Soldiers from the north to the south duringtho war. It 'vas across thisstructure that Burnsido and his men marched to the tiela of Bull Run at the outsct of the war. It was recalled today by _ those who had been with - Buroside how proudly they marched and how eager they were for the fignt. A hugo floral wreath was hung around the necis of Bura- side's horse and the women of Washington had placed a bouguetin the gun barrel of cach of tne marching solaiers. 'Tnen was vecailed how they hurricd back across this samo bridgo carrying their wounded and dying and scattering through tho streets of Washington after the first great repuise of the war. The oid Braddock house at Alexandria where Elisworth was killed while trying to pull down tho confederate flag was ulso a point of interest today. In fact, there is hardly a veteran who has returned to Wash- ington who is not sceking to locate some point which to bim tells a story of the w Tmmense Crowds Arrivin It1s utterly impossible to find anybody in Washington novs unless he bo a resident and tied down to his place of busiuess.

Ac- cording to the new plan tho present cost of ofticing the city officials will bo largely re- duced and much more couvenient and cowm- modious guarters will be provided. A resolution will be introduced at the regu- lar mecuing of the couficil this evening pr viding for the ucceptance of an offer by Frank Pivonka to urrange quarters for the s new building at fwenty-sixin and N streets. Mr. Pivonka offers to give tho city two roows 1n the basement of his build- ing and two rooms in the second story for $5 a month. Iu addition to tais he will put in a vault extecding from the basement to the coiling of the second story. It is tho opimon of a majority of the council tuat this s the most economical and practical plan yet sugeested. The present expense for rent is evout 100 per month and the offizes are scattered all over thecity. Tho projected scheme of letting the contract to some respounsible party for crecting a_uew builaing and paying $100 o month until it was paid for would have made the expense only #15 additional per month and in time would haye lei: the city owner of the buildi But 1t is argued that the pro- posed edifice would at the best have boen ouly u cheap wooden structure that would not bave been as convenicnt as the proposed offices in the Pivouka block .
