This is cortatnly in the worst spirit of the ego- tist and pbarisee. Omaha has every year as clean and stimuluting as well as refined a class of theatrical attracrvions asany eity iothe west. And our people re quick to appreciate plays of a high g ade, such as have been presented bere in 'he past and will be presented this year. UNLESS winter sets in very early Omaha will make a very creditable showing in the mutter of public im- provements this year. The eity engi- neor estimates the total outlay for pave- ments, sewers, grading and other work at over half a miliion dollars.

What claim has Dave Meroer upon the people or party for a t in congr His career in Omanha began in Union Pacific headquarters as as athird-rate clerk, from which he was promoted to the raiiroad oil-room lobby. The work of this lobby was to debauch and corrupt the leg ire into voting os in the interest of the moting the interests of ions and jobbers. The ans used to bring about thisend were -ds, liquor and lewd women, Once in the meshes of the oll-room lobby the people’s representatives became the liant tools and creatures of their se- down measu people an the corpo; s is the only line of businees which Dave Mearcer has pursued with some de- gree of suc His efforts at the prac- tice of law were a flat failure. The po- sition he holds as deputy marshal and bailiff can hardly be considered as the proper stepping stone for the national ure. And what claim has Dave Mercer upon the party for services as a political worker? As chairman of the city com- mittee that conducted the campaign three years ago he permitted the cam- paign fund to go into the hands of treacherous ana thieving members of the committee who had formed a con- spiracy to defeat the head of the ticket for democratic boodle. Instead of warn- ing the candidates, he deliberately ars and eyes and led the aughter. The result was the election of Cushing and the formation of the boodle combine in the council.

Mr. Whitelaw Reid the case in saying cratic part; pointedly states hat what the demo- now proposes is not a modi- wtion of existing conditions, but a re- versal. Hitherto that party has been content to propose changes while main- taining the principle which is at the foundation of national progress and prospe but mow it is pledged to sweep away the principle, on the ground that there 1s no constitutional authority for maintaining it. Thus it would, if it had the power, unless the declaration of the Chicago platform was intended to be meaningless, abandon the system of protection that has prevailed for thirty years and to which the business of the country is adjusted, though doing this would produce a commercial convulsion more disastrous than any the country has ever experienced. Of course demo- crats will say that their party has no such purpose, but it is to be remem- bered that the platform utterance re- garding protection was not made thoughtlessly, but after deliberate eon- sideration, and while it did not receive the unan ndorsement of the con- vention it had the support of nearly two-thirds of the d so that it must be regarded as exp z the set- of a very large majority of the party. If it wuas not intended to execute the proposed policy, what mi be thought, in the language of Presi- dent Harrison, of a party that is capable of thus trifling with great interests, for the threat of such legislation would only be 1 hurtful than the fact. mous This is a matter that appeals with great force to the business, the produc- ing and the labor interests of the coun- try. Does uny one of these find the ex- isting conditions so unsatisfactory as to warrant a desire for a sudden and com- plete reversal at the risk of a general convulsion? Can uny rational man have a doubt as to what would he the consequences of sweeping away at once & policy under which the industries and business of the country have been growing for the last thirty years? Even the apprehen- sion of & modifieation of that policy has invariably produced more or less busi® ness disturbance, and it is inevitable that its reversal would result in finan- cial und commereial cbaos. Enterprise would hult, capital would not seek in- vestment, labor would be throwu out of e mployment and stagoation would take the place of prosperous activity. No man can say how long this state of af- fairs would continue, but it would cer- tainly last long enough to cost the Americun people an enormous loss of wealth, to check the material progress of the country for many years, and to piace the people of the United States wheve they weie befors wvrotection be- came the national policy, at the mercy of British wanufacturers, As wass.id by Mr. Reid, every business man, what- ever his party convietions or his politi cal prejudices, knows, asa cold busi- ness proposition, that the complete re- al of the existing order of things anded by the demoeratic party in its present platform, as to the tariff, as 10 reciprocity and as to the currency, would necessarily unsettle business for the next eighteen months or two years. The uncertainties which must exist pending such u change, as to its possi- bility or its scope, would be, throughout thelr duration, the worst possible ob- THE OMAHA DAILY ! | struction to business. The fact that the | countey sha'l have the privilege of say- radical threats of the democratio party have not seriously impaired tha genaral confldence or slackened the activities of business is because the business inter- ests of the country have such faith in the common sense of the American peo- ple as to believe that thers is to be no change. A YEAR OF SUCCESSFUL WORK. The annual address of President Page of the Manufacturers and Consumers association of Nebhraska, which was pre- sented at the meeting of the board of directors hield yesterday afternoon, con- tained much interesting {nformation concerning the progress of the work of the association during the past year and some valuable suggestions as to 1ts con- tinuance and enlargement during the year upon which it has now entered. The Manufacturers and Consumers association was organized in September of last year. Its object wasto secure the co-operation of manufacturers, deal- ers and consumers in an effort to pro- mote the various industrial and com- mercial enterprises of this state upon the basis of home patronage. Begin- ning with a comparatively small mem- bership made up chiefly of Omaha busi- ness men it has grown with great rapidity during the first year of its ex- istence and now embraces a membership of 177 firms represeating all of the im- portant towns in Nebraska, As a result of the house to house canvass made in every city of the state, 10,064 families were pledged to home patronage, and counting five persons to the family it is estimated that 54,800 people in this state are thus committed to the support of the industries and enterprises repre- sented by this association. Thus far those who have joined this army of home patrons have lived up to their agreement, and as a result great pro- gress has been achieved in the building up of the various industries of the state. Hundreds of men and women are now employed in consequance of this move- ment and the number will be grea creased before the close of another year. The firms who are members of the Man- ufacturers association cm"»aw at least 10,000 peaple,, l\nl it is estimated that the mem the association and their famrilies and loyes together aggre- gate 33,920 parsons. The total number of consumers who are pract pladged to sustain the work of the organization 1s placed The exposition held b; turers association in Omaha last June s a great success in every way. The ay of Nebraska-made goods sur- tors by its extent, variety and excellence. Thne exhibition was seen by about 20,000 psopls from all parts of this state and neighboring states, and in addition no less than 14,000 school children were admiuted. The exposition served its purpose ad- mirably, affording the public an oppor- tunity to see what the manufacturers of Nebraska can do, and at the same time proving very successful from a finan- cial point of view. A largely increased number of em- ployes in the factories of the state is one of the most important results achieved by the first year’s work of the Manufac— turers association. [t is estimated that no less than 550 have been added to our wage-earning class by th The bt s of all local firms has been greatly increased and a feeling of mu- tual interest and sympathy has been created that is certain to produce good results in the future. A friendly senti- mentof mutual interest and dependence has also arisen between the various cities of thestate, and the importance of promoting and fostering the interests of Nebraska has come to be thoroughly unaerstood atd appreciated by all. President Page’s report laid much stress upon the advantage to be gained oy cultivating a feeling of mutual sym- pathy and common interest between employer and employe. It is worthy of note that this very result has been one of the conspicucus fruits of the work of the Manufacturers association. It has been brought about by the recognition of the fundamental principle of mutual helpfulness upon which the association is founded, and it issafe tosay that nowhere in the couutry does a better feeling prevail between capital and labor than in the state of Nebras| The association has done very wisely in re-electing W. A. Page as its presi- dent for another year. He has devoted a great deal of intelligent thought and labor to the work and the success that has crowned his efforts proves tha he is the right man for the place. Under the wise direction of its president, and those who share the work with him, the Manufacturers association is sure to jus- tify the highest hopes and expectations of its friends. e—— MR. CLEVELAND'S SURRENDER. There can be no further doubt as to Mr. Cleveland having made a close ulliance with Tammany, and thereby surrendered whatever independence he heretofore enjoyed as the leader of his party. The authority of Mr. Charles A. Dana in this matter is conclusive, for few men bave so close an intimacy with the Tammany managers as the editor of the New York Sun. Referring to the conference some ten days ago between Mr. Cleveland and Murphy, Croker and Sheehan, Mr. Dana states that it “involved noless a question thun whether Mr. Cleveland was to be hereafter esteewed as for or against the party; whether he was henceforth to be counted with the dem- ocrats or with the peculiar partisans who Lave persistently and venomously mado war upon them in his name,” reference being had to the mugwumps, According to Mr, Dana, Mr. Cleveland on this memorable occasion *gave a full and emphatic assurance that he appre- ciated the nature of the. situation, and that in case of his election he would be a democrat and pot a mugwump. He promised that in the future hisinflu- ence should invariable be exerted on the side of the democrats and against their enemies.” The meaning of this is that if the people of the United Siates give Mr. Cleveland the power to again dis- pense public patronage he agrees that Tammany shall control , the federal offices in the efty of New York—that the most corrupt and rapacious and un- scrupulous political orgaaization in the in- the Manufac- BEL: TUESDAY ing who shall A those ofiices, waich of courso amounts o permitting Tam- manyites to take Mossassion of them Tt was a disg@esful surrender for Mr. Clevelaud to makegbut it serves toshow his incrdinate mbition to be agnin president. It sught to alienate from him thousands of the better class of democrats in Ne# York and elsewhere who are familifie with Tammany and know that any m;;xve with that organ: ization cannot b&iwthe interest of the public good. As t3’the element in York which, whitecalling themselves independents, hava with great uniform- ity supported the democratic party and been especlally {gyal to Mr. Cleveland, it would seem that this action of the ex- president must disillusionize them. “The mugwump.” exclaims Mr. Dan “‘is plainly seen as having lost his place in politics,”.but Mr. Cleveland may find that he has not therefore entirely lost his potency. The democratic party in the Empire state cannot afford to lose this element. It is evident that Mr. Cleveland and his managers are extremely anxious about the situation in New York. The position of the party regarding the tariff and its demand for a reatoration of state bank currency has driven many business men from its support, and in the state at large there is reason to be- lieve it is steadily losing ground. The outlook for republican success in New York is better now than it was at this stage of the campaign four years ago. A POLITICAL INQUISITION. The history of political campaigns in this cauntry affords no parallel to the case of Charles F. Peck, commissioner of labor statistics in the state of New York. A committes representing the managers of the Cleveland campaign has undertaken toinvestigate Mr. Peck’s report and prove that it is not truthful. With this end in view the committee called upon Mr. Peck the other day and demanded access to the original reports from the 6,000 manufacturers in the state upon which the recent repors of the com- missioner was based. Thelatter refused and it appears that he has de- r originul papers containing the of the manufacturers. For this the democratic managers are now trying to conviet him of a misde- meaunor, It happens that the law creating the office which Commissioner Pe holds explicitly provides that he shall not compel anyone to answer questions as to his private busin The sources of in- formation upon which his recent report is founded are theresore of a confiden- tial nature. It was expressly stipulated in the blanks which He sent out that the answers would be so regarded. Justico and honor are ou his side when he main- tains that he has no right to violate the pledges which he made to those who gave him the information which he sought. The democratic national com- mittee is enleavoring to compel him to recede from a position in which he is supported by the law that created his office. When Mr, Peck was interviewed by the investigating comimittee—a commit- tee invested with mo-legal authority whatever—he asked: “If my report had been diametrically different would you have come hers to question my figures?” The ans Yo, not personally. Then the republicans would have been hunting you.” There could be no plainer proof than this that the democratic inquisitors are actuated by the meanest motives. They do not even make a pretense of acting in behalf of any public interest. Itis openly avowed that the investigation has no other objact than to destroy the force of the commissioner’s report, whickh conclusively shows the advan- tages of the protective tariff. By what right does the democrat! nal com- mittee assunie to sit in judgment upon an official report because it happens to be unfavorabie to free trade? In with- holding the original reports the commis- sioner exercises an undoubted moral right, and in so doing he is also jro- tected by the plain letter of the law. Whether he had a legal right to destroy the originals or not is another question, but it does not affect the real merits of the case in any event. He could not have been compelled to make them pub- lic at the and of a committee of po- litical inquisitors, so it matters little whether they are destroyed or not. THE union in Alabama of the peoyie’s party and the Kolb faction of the democ- racy is causing the regular democrat organization some uneasiness. It issaid to be entirely satisfactory to the leading «epublicans of the state. This combina- tion was defeated at the state election in August by high-handed fraud, but the managers propose that this shall not be repeated in November. They intend to take every possible precaution against being again defrauded and will call upon the United States authorities for what- ever protection to voters they can give, Kolb predicts the defeat of the regular democrats by 40,000, in which event the electoral vote will go to Weaver. The movement will be supported by repub- licans generally, the more prominent of whom think it has the best kind ot a chance to win. The progress of the con- test will be watched with general in- terest. THE Burlington r:;nfly pushing its line toward Sheris yo., and will be running traios into that town by Novem- ber 1.

The agricultural and mineral resources of the region in which it is situated will make it a thriving city in a few years. —— A VERY pertinent question at this time is: Where did Dave Marcer and his ex-partner, Eller, get the which they deposited in ome of our national banks immediately oa the heels of Lin- inger’s defeat and Luahlng s election as mayor? MASSACHUSETTS furnishes sta.lstics which refute the assertions of the dem- crats and the calamity people.

The showing made is quite as satisfactory as that of the report of the bureau of labor statistics of New York. It is not to be doubted that what is true of these two equally true of other manufacturing states of the east, and it is obvious that the credit for this improved condition must be given to the present tariff law. The growth of most industries in 1591 was undoubtedly maintained, and in many cases increased, during the cur rent year, and there is every reason to that the labor statistics of U2 will show a general advance over last year. All the evidence shows a steady industrial development, and if the republican party is successfil next November it can be safely predicted that the ensuing two years will witness a remarkable growth of American in- dustries, states Now that the Transcontinental Traf- fic association has practically gone to pieces and freight rates are in a some- what demoralized condition, 1t is the manifest duty of Omaha to take steps at once to revive, reorganize and equip the freight bureau. This is very likely to be the aupreme opportunity and upon the action of Omaha at this important time will depend our treatment for the tuture by the freight managers. That there are unjust discriminativos against A no one at all acquainted with the facts can deny, and it is patent to all that the very best remedy for ‘m'ru‘l this evil at any timeis a freight bures And at this time tardiness and wnlh[u - nesa can only be interpreted as disloy- alty to this ciiy’s interests and very efficient means toward attain mercial suicide.

The judge came out openly for Boies last year and has been asulkerforabout eight years, ever he failed of re- nomination by the republicans for the supreme bench. He is an ableand up- ight man, and his retirement was not right, but it is to be regre d that he allowed this personal injustice to lead him away from his honest convictions.

As the road is expected to pay for itself within six years it will be seen that the English capitalista have a great honanza. SouTH OMAHA has temporarily aban- doned the city hall schems and is now talking of securing rooms for the vari- ous departments of the city government so that they can be concentrated in one building instead of being scattered as they ure now. The thing of p portance is a safe plaee for the public records. If this can be secured the city is a very lively split in the ratic party of the Council Blu rict on free silver, and the defection is led by L. T.
