McINTOosn, democratic candi- &ato for congress, writes a lotter de- wiaring that by the constitution he is ot in it. The people would have told Yiim the sume thing on election day. THE Atlanta Constitution says of Mrs. Leaso: ‘*‘She is tall and raw-boned and 88 ugly as o mud hen.” This, we pre- sume, is tho “southern chivalry” of which we hear so much and which Mrs. Lenso herself described so glowingly in hor speeches here lust July. OMAHA pursues the even tenor of her commercial progress, her total business last weok, us shown by the bank clear- ings, being an increase of 85.7 per cent over the corresponding six days in 1891, And this represents business, too, not the froth of a boom, nor the fiction of **prospects.” THE new differential affecting rates on southwestern cattle to the South Omaha market has produced the results nnticipated. Kansas City previously had the advantage and the South Omaba packors sulfered in consequence, Dbut now the packers of the former city aro obliged to hustle. They hi.ve mado vigorous efforts to secure shipments do- signed for South Omaha, but have met with poor success, the shipjors prefer- ring our markot, THE fact that the health commis sionor has condemned the plumbing in the Walnut Hill school as defective and dangerous to the health of the puplls suggests that more care is needed in dealing with this important subject. The inspector reports that to his certain knowledge the cause of com- plaint at this particular school has ex- isted ever since the plumbing was put in, If thisis true, it is evident that there hus been . reprohensible negli- gonee. Cases of diphtheria that have ocourred among the children of that neighborhood may have been caused by this defective plumbing. Nowhere are porfoct sanitury arrangements so vitally important us in the public schools, and itis to be hoped that the present in- spection, due to the cholera scare, will not be mado to serve for all time, THE activity which the health author- ities are showing in their efforts to put the city in a proper sanitary condition is reassuring. The large number of vlaces thut require cleaning up which bhave been reported to the Beard of Health demonstrates how necessary is the movement for cleansing the city. Obviously the condition of things was getting to be 50 bad as to imperil the hoalih of the entire community, and it _i# remarkable that the mortality during the hot season has not been greater. Themfforts of the health authorities must be vigorously pushed until the city is thoroughly cléaned, and they must be supported in the work with every assist- ance they require. The danger to be uverted may not be imminont, but thece 18 no reason for laxity in taking precau- tions sgaiost it for the future The health authcrities appear to be doing well and they should keep up the good work TGNORING THE EVIDENC The democratic leuders and organs wholly ignore the facts which testify to national progress und prosperity under the present selves with the bold assertion that it has had no such results as are claimed for it by republicans. Not one of them bad the honesty and candor to take up the statistics and attempt to prove that has | they do not demonstrate $he govd eflects of the taviif upon the material interests of the country. On the contrary the re- publicans steadily appeal to these facts for the vindication of their policy and ask for them the careful consideration of the people. In his Brooklyn speech Senator Till, referring to the McKinley bill, eaid: ““There is no satisfactory evidence that it has incrensed our prosperity in any degree or advanced the wages of a sin gle workingman,” Yet the senator ad- mitted that the country is and that its industrial development has increased since the present taift law went into effect. Like other democratic leaders Mr. Hill pays no attention to the facts und relies upon unsupported s ns. It is much more simple and convenient than would be the effort to show even to a domc ic audience that the evidence of prosperity is in no way due to the tarifl. It would be u difficult task for any democrat to at- tempt to prove thut the growth of the industries of New York and N hu- sotts during the year following the adoption of the present tariff iaw, us shown by the reports of the labor com- missionors of those states, was in no measure due to that law, but in spite of it he relution of that legislation to the industrial progress in those states 18 80 obvious that all but those who are utterly blinded by their prejudices against the policy of protection must sco it. The cavital employed inthe protected industries in New York was greater by about 13,000,000 in 1891 than in 1800, and in Massachusetts the incrcase in the former over the latter year was $10,- 000,000, 1f this rate of increase prevuiled in all the manufacturing states, and there is no son to doub that it did, not less than $100,000,000 more was in- vested in protected industries the year after the y ge of the MeKinley bill than the year before. Canany reason- able man doubt the influence of that measure in producing this result ? The plain truth is, and the intelligent voters of the country rocognize i, that the principle of protection as embodied in the present tariff law, together with the principle of reciprocity, have been instrumental in increasing the business of the country both at home and abroad, and has most conclusively vindicated the republican policy i stimulated home industries, which « now employing more capital ana labor than they did two yeavs ago, while re- ciprocity has enlarged the markets for the products of the farm. As to wages, the testimony of the report of the committee, approved by the dewmoc: members, and the reports of the labor commissioners of Now. York and M chusetts, is a suflicient answer to the democratic assertion that the labor of the country has not been benefited by the tariff. General denials will not be offective in this campaigu of education. Bave assertion will not be accepted by the intelligent voters of the country who are secking uaccurate and trust- worthy informatio “The day of the prophet of calamity,” said President Harvison, *‘has been succeeded by that of the trade reporter.” The people de- mand faets, and these the republican party is prepared to give them in just fication of its appeal for their suppor! 1t invites the country to consider con- ditions rather than theories. In this respect it has a very great advantage of its opponents. INIEREST ON BONDED DEBTS, Some interesting facts concerning in- terest charges on public bonded debts ave presented by the census buveau, showing a great decrease in the amount of interest now paid and also a falling off in the rate. Leaving the national bonded dobt out of the account the av- erago interest rate has decronsed during ten years 0.88 per cont, and the average intorest charge on the aggregate honded debt has decrensed 0.30 percent. It ap- pears that the decrease would have been much greater if the government had re- sorved an option on its 4.5and 4 per cent bonds. On account of alack of such option many states and cities are also paying a high rate of interest, An illustration of this is furnished by the city of New York, In 1889 that munici- polity sold $ 31,688 of long time bonds at par or above, though they only bear 2.5 per cent interest. Of the entire in- debtedness of the city $25,980,600 bears 7 per cont, $86,270,010 bears 6 per cent, $17,385.846 bears 5 per cent and a large amount 4 per cent. If these large sums could have been refunded into bonds bearing the low rate piaced on those of 1889 an enormous sum of monoy would have been saved to tho taxpayoers, but the option was lacking, 50 the high rates of interest continue on the greater portion of the city’s debt. The same is true of the bonded debts of other cities and states. If the right to refund had been reserved the prevailing low rates would make it possible to vastly decrease the interest charge, A financial writer in vhe New York Commeicial Bulletin expresses the belief that if ull the bonded indebtedness of the country could have been refunded in 1890 at the best rates obtainable, in bonds worth par in the market, the ay- erage rates on the resulting indebted- ness would have been little, if any, in oxcess of 8,75 per cent, a reduction of one-fifth of 1 per cent in the decade, or un annual saving in interest o the debt of $42,406,480 by the reduction of the interest rate ulone, Theselarge figures show what advuntages the capitalists have gained by holding bonds that could not be refunded at reduced rates of interest. It uppears from the rveport that by the reduction of principal, as well as rates, the annual interest charge has been reduced during the decade $53,. 610,409, & reduction per capita of nearly 60 per cent. The interest charge on every $1,000 of assessed valuation in 1880 was $8.76, but in 1800 it had fallen to $3.84, a reduction of 56 per cent.

GETTING BADLY DEMORALL In view of the fact that election day is only a month and a hall distant it would seem to be high time for the dom- ocrate who are discussing the tariff to hold & general conference and try to ascertain their bearings in relation to this important subject. *“Where am I at?” is getting to be & pertinent ques- tion for the democracy. Its lending epirits are not 1n accord upon the sub- jeet of the tariff, and the open rebellion against the Chieago platform has so de- moralized the party that it is now com. mitted o a larger assortment of views upon this issuo than any party can em- brace and still remain sane. We are pained to see indications 1t the men- tal outfit of the Kansas City 7imes has already broken down under the strain. Tt attributes the falling off inthe repub- lican vete in Maine o the reduction of the tarifl on lumber and argues that this proves that “‘the tariff is the issue Perhaps it does. This kird of tariff rensoning is too deep for the average mind. There seems to be asort of double action about it that is confusing, to say the least. When Senator Hill made his speech in Brooklyn the other night it was copted by the democrats generally as a formal opening of the campaign, as it the senator were regarded, under all the circumstances, as the proper man to perform that initial ceremony. But he annihilated the national piatform of hi party. The only vital thing in that platform is the tariff plank, and Hill would have none of it. The whole drift of his tariff talk was inst the free trade idea expressed in his party’s dec- laration of principles. Ile went as far as tho democratic state convention in Connecticut did a few days ago in repu- diation of free trade, though he made a thin pretense of standing upon the na- tional platform. “The tariff,”” says that able supporter of Cleveland, the New York Sun, ‘“is about the finest thing for the democrats to let alone this year that the campaign affords.” And yet they cannot let it alone, for they have deliberately chosen tomake a fight upon that issue and have nbsolutely nothing else to turn to. Their situation calls for the commisera- tion of kind hearted people, and our suggestion that a conference be held for the purpose of finding out *‘where they are at” is offered in a spirit of kindly sympathy. ver DISPLEASED MUGWUMPS, It is not surprising that the mugwump supporters of Mr. Cleveland and those New York democrats who fought Sen- ator Hill at Chicago and are designated “anti-snappers,” are displeased at the shot which the senator fired at them in his Brooklyn speech. His declaration that *‘there is no piace in honorable American politics for the political guer- rillas who do not attach themselves to either of the great political armies, but who, while swearing allegiance to nei- ther, criticiso them both, and fight first upon one side and then upon the sther,” while it delighted the hearts and minds of the faithful, is said to have deeply wounded some of the so-called indepen- dents, who it is but fair to say were justly designated by Senator Hill, There is o manifest determination on the part of the regular democratic or- ganization in New York to give the mugwump element to understand that its help is not desired, and this is the significance of the thrust of Mr. Hill. This element has always exerted more or less of an influence with Mr. Cleve- land. In the eurly purt of his admin tration its wishes were more potentinl with him than those of democrats who had never wavered in thoeir fidelity to the party, and since then he has shown a great deal of fondness for their blund- ishments, It is not doubted that one of the reasons for summoning Cleveland to New York two weeks ago wasto get from him un assurance that in the event of his election he would recognize as having claim to his consideration only democrats, and thereis reason to believe that such an assurance was obtained. The course of Tammany since that con- ference and the language of Senator Hill in characterizing the so-called inde- pendents as **political guorriilas,” war vant the inference that the candidate hus agreed to cut loose from the mug wumps in case he is elected. What effect this may have upon the vote of this element is problematical. Such is the uverage mugwump’s idola~ try of Cleveland that probably very lew of them will believe that he has entered into a compact with Tammany by which that organization shall be allowed to control the federal patronage in Now York city if the next administration is democratie, but doubtless there are some whose sell-respect will lead them to withhold their support from a party, one of whose most prominent leaders approvingly characterizes them as “political guerrillas.” In any event, however, it will make little difference as to the result. It has been demun- strated that the election strength of the mugwumps has been greatly overesti- mated, —— No MAN old enough to remember the “wildeat” currency of the state banks will be foolish enough to vote with the party whose platform contuins a plank advocating its restoration. ey P cuted for Telling the Truth, St. Paul Pioneer.

With the progress of the times the strategetical importance of tho land of the Nile and of the Red sea has largely in- creased. England’s position in the worla depends uvon the assurod connection of the mother country with India, That connec- tion in turn depends largely upon the Suez canal, and there is, therefore, littls wonder that proud and patriotic knglishmen should feol thut as & power ruling the sea she must keep the canal secure against all eventual- ities. Iungland checkmated Frauce in Egypt in 1852, But Egypt has seldom brought luck to her conquerors, and the time may yet come when the question of power will have to be settled, and then the world will see whether Englana will be ablo to continue to bear the sword at the double vate of Asia and Africa or whether, as M. Revan has said, Egypt was given to her as a punish- went for an ambition which exceeas its re- sources. The German people, during the last de- cade, huve shown marked dissatisfacticn with the ever ncreasing army. It is a severe bur den to them, bot only because it requires for its maintenance great revenues which they must furnish, but because their youngust, strongest aud ablest men are forcea todevote sevoral of the most valuable years of their lives to its service. Popular protest has been piled upon protest agaiust the continued in- crease of the army since Willinm became emperor, and the uaditional sums again and again demanded by him for militury pur- poses have been secured only after severe struggles, and after the powerful influences of the government have been brought to bear upon the respective majorities of the Reichstag to coerce or cajcle them to vote the appropriations demanded. As the lib- eral party has numerically increased in the imperial legislature, the opposition to enhanced mititary grants las become more strenuous and bold, and popular senti- meut apnears to be so commonly averse to the emperor's latesy acmy bill as to give cause for his fear that the Reichstag will re- fuse to approve it.

Liberalism and so- cialism haye had'gréwth as rank as that of weeds since he has 'been upon the throne, and every arbitrary act done by him and every such word spoken by him has added largely to tho ranks of his political enemies, If he should now turn the Reichstag out of doors 1f it should refuse to upprove a meas- ure which the German people so commonly disapprove his temporsiy triumph would be Likely to have cousequences worse than his lute defeat. The elections fora now Reich- stag would unquestionably show what all late ones have done, an extraordinary addi- tion to the number of the opponents of the imperial policy. e Swce Serpia, Roumania and Bulgaria began to cut a figure in the worla as nation- alities, the Albamans, both i Greece and Turkey, have bee. growing more and more restless. If the Slavs and the Servs ana the Roumauians and the Grecks are to have reals and rulers of their own, why not the Albanians!
