G WEAVER i when he objects to Georgia eggs while INERAL incousistent attempting to hatch a people’s party that state. THE Omaha burglar who took only 36 from a house when he learned thut the owner was a plumber plainly showed his charity toward the poor and needy. A MAN’S occupation always has its inflyenco upon his productions, and therefore people should not be surprised if Cleveland’s letter sounds somewhat Ashy. Mn.

Sickles will cut & wide swath in the field of democratic votes this year. THE street railway system of Omaha tly improved, but its trans- for feature in its limitations is simply a disgrace and costs its patrons often twice as much as it should or subjects them 1o long und tiresome walking. By all means extend the transfer system. IF REPUBLICANS wantto carry Douglas county by a rousing majority they must nominate a county ticket made up oi men who have interests in common with our taxpayers and men who have never sold out and never betrayed a trust. Only such men will be acceptable to the rank and file of the party. THE republicans of Douglas county can elect their legislative ticket this yeur if their candidutes are competent and reputable. The yellow dog ticket and the brass collar ticket and the tin can ticket would be snowed under no matter how much blowing, fiting and shouting would be done between now and election. A CORR T of the Washing - ton Post trios to create an alarm by in. sisting that the clectoral vote this year is not 444, but must remain 401, as in 1888, because no congress has convened since the reapportionment wus made. This nonsensical lotter has been tele- graphed all over the United States. Precedent knocks its logic to pieces. Turn to the electoral vote of 1868 and it is found to be 817, while that of 1872 wus 806, That very thoroughly settles this disturbance. —_— Tue democratic national committee has been very violent in its demands that Mr, Peck produce his. papers from which the wage stutistics were obtuined.

To be consistent the Gray Gubles statesman should eall off that committee.

The cupacity of the plantof this firm has beeu nearly doubled by the erection of now buildings and further additions in the near future are now anticipated, It is reusounble to expect that the South Omaha plant of Swift & Co. will soon eclipse that of the same firm in Kunsas City though tho latter has been much longer estabiished. All signs indicate that Omaha is destined to become the greutest pucking center in the world. DECLINE OF TAE POPULIST PARTY. The indieations are that the people’s party will not show the strength in No- vember which its leaders have hoastfully promised. Advices from the states in which it has made the greatest demon- stration of activity state that a reaction has set in and that the party is losing ground. Fvidence of this on in the reduced interest in its public meetings, which are not being o largely attended as earlier in the campaign. This is the case in Towa, where, although the home state of the presidential candidate of the new party, the populists are no longer source of serious anxiety to the old parties. It is in a degree also the case in Nebraska, as the daily reports of peo- plo’s party meotings testify. Tho first to open their campaign, the populist londers at the outset were listened to rge and enthusiastic andiences, but recently there has boen a notable de- cline of interest among the classes to which they especially appeal in their advoracy of a fiat currency and sub- treasury plans of relief. There is nothing surprising in this when one reflectsthat after all the great majority of farmers und workingmen are sufliciently intelligent and practical to understand, when the matter is brought home to their reason and judg- ment, that nothing more hurtful to their interests and welfare could happen than an inflation of the currency by an almost unlimited issue of paper. The whole finarcial experience of mankind proves that the principal sufferers from an inflated and depreciated currency are the producers and wage workers. This was the oxporience here during the period of an exclusive paper cur- rency, and it would inevitubly be re- peated if the financial policy of the populist party, which contemplates a currency exclusively of paper, should provail. Inflation favors only the specu- lator and is therefore necessarily hos- tile to the interests of the man in legiti- mate business, whether the business be farming or anything else. The pro- ducer cannot discount in his transac- tions a steadily depreciating currency, and in this respect 18 at a greater disad- vantage than the manufacturer or the merchant, though both of these are in- jured by inflation that results in lower- ing the purchasing power of the cur- rency. Labor suffers because wages is always the last thing to advance and its increase never keeps pace with the de- cline in the purchasing power of the money it receives while inflation is in prog These two classes—the agricultural producers and the wuge earr.ers—pecu- liarly require for their solid and perma- nent prosperity a sound and stable cur- rency—money that is of equal value everywhere in the country and that does not fluctuate from week to week or is not liable to a steady loss 1u purchasing power. Obviously there would be no gain to the farmer in the end by getting in exchange for his products a little more currency when everything he must buy advanced in equal proportion, while there would be no inducement to accumuinte money that was steadily de- preciating. A vedundantcurrency fosters speculaticn, illegitimate trading and gennrs. extravagance, evils that inevit- ‘g their reward in widespread dizaster. The farmers of tho northwest have been considering this subject ceriously and intelligently, and this explains why popul meetings are mot being so numerously attended s at the begin- ning of the campaign and interestin the purty is visibly declining. Demagogic appeals to cupidity are losing their in- fluence; the calamity cry is silenced by the potential voice of indisputable facts showing an almost unprecedented pros- perity; and the conscience of the people revoits at the dishonest suggestion that debts should be paid in a depreciated and debased currency. Disintegration is at work in the rauks of the populists and they will make -no such showing of strength as their leaders profess to be- lieve and the old parties huve feared. —_— PROFITS CF IRRIGATION. Although irrigation hus been adopted only upon a very limited scale in the state of Nebraska, it is in some of the western states regarded as an absolute necessity and is constantly gaining favor in localities where it has been tried. Fortunately Nebraska does not, excepu in some of the more arid sections, re- quire nrtificial watering, though in some of the western counties irrigation has been found very profitable, especially in such seasons as that of two years ago, when the irrigated lands of Scott’s Bluff county and some other localities in the western and southwestern por- tions of the stute were made very pro- ductive by artificial watering. Statistics from the oensus bureau show that the entire area of land irri- gated in 1889 was 3,504,416 acres. The average value of the land and the im- provements thereon was $83,28 per acre, and the average value of products for the year was $14.89 peracre. The aver- age cost of irrigation on these lands was $8.15 per acre. ‘I'he average annual ex- penditare for water, apart from water rights, was $1.07 per acre, while the average cost of the original preparation of the land for cultivation, including the purchase of the land at the government rate of $1.25 per acre, is estimated at $12.12 per acre. The testimony of those who have furiished informatiou upon this subjec is to the effect thav irrigation isex tremely profitable. The aggregate first cost of the irvigated sreus, with their water rights, is estimated at $77,400,000, while their value on June 1, 1890, is placed at $:96,850,000. ‘These figures show an enormous increase in the value of the lunds and the water rights, which wust be taken us couclusive proof of the value of the system. 1ts adoption in all of the arid regions of Nebraska where it is practicable is only a question of time. T —— AN ADMISSION FROM {HE ENEMY. An eastern democratio organ, review- ing the condition of trade, says: *‘Lead- ing industries huve continued active, and the merchandise distribution on do- mestic trude orders has not fallen off in any depurument, while in some branches it has increased.” Iialso says with re- gard to the smaller bank oclearings of recent weeks thut they “indicate o de~ THE OMAHA DAILY BE oline 1n domestlo trade and industry, | but represent the effect of lower prices and lessenod speculation.” THere is an admission from a democratic source— the quotations are from the Philadel vhin Record's woekly trade article—that the manufacturing industries are active and that the prices of manufactured goods are lower, facts which may fairly bo cited in favor of the operation of the present tariff law. What is true of the industries of the genoral foreign demand for American products continuay styong. There is a gain in cotton, in éattle and in pro ions, and the only’ ddcronse is in bread- stuffs, which is mot at all surprising, considering thatTthe comparison is made with a ydir bf extraordinary shortage in Europe. - In all the minor articles of oxport the foreign demand is equal to that of last year.

A steady, regular movement of trade is best for all inteavsts. But the most significant feature of this statement is the fact that prices have been declin- ing. This refutes the democratic asser- tion, made from every platform from Maine to California, that prices have not been reduced under the prosent tariff. O! course the manufacturers have not lowered the prices of their goods for political effect. Nobody but IF THE western farmer can raise corn he can raise hogs, and if he can raise hogs he can got 5 per hundred pound for them. That is the present aspect of the case, and it is casy to find Ne- braska farmers whose faces are wreathed in smiles as they contemplate the pork market. The knowing ones suy that the present high peice cannot be expected to stand, but itis not anticipated that it will fall below $4.50, which is a very favorable figure for the pork producer. The Buropean demand is heavy and is sure to continue so, and an increasing home consumption is also noted. The rermoval of the embargo in Lurope has stunulated the trade in Awerican pork abroad to a degree that is not yet fully an extreme free trader would assume of them that they have.

As the foreign demand will now be permanent it is clear that the hog business is sure to be profitable for the western farmer in the future. NOMINATE The action of the republican county committee in fixing the time for holding the county nominating convention next Saturday instead of two weeks later is commendable. It was a stupid plece of jugglery to elect dolegates on the 16th of September and hold the convention on the 15th of October. The manifest object was to give four weeks’ time for trade and barter in votes, It now re- mains for the delegates to rise above the ward heeler level and nominate a legis- lative and county ticket that respectable men can support without blushing. The men who are scrambling for nom- ination ave for the most part without standing in the community and without character. They are mere spoils huat- ers whose ambition is to sell their votes and influence in the legislature to the highest bidder. Their stock-in-trade is shouting lustily for the party, when in fuct their support repels and disgusts decent men who believe with ex-Presi- dent Hayes that *“‘he serves his party best who serves his country best.” It is conceded on all hunas that the democrats have profited by the thrash- ing they received in Douglas county last year. They have nominated a fair county ticket made up chiefly of busi- ness men 1n good standiuz. Canthe re- publicans defy all decency by loading up their ticket with dead beats, numb- skulls and boodle-men? Do they imag- ine that the taxpaying citizens will de- liberately vote to send to the legisla- ture men whom they would not trust with $25 and men who have no regard for an obligation? This is a national campaign year, but it is not a good year for nominating po- litical barnacles and scallawags, The first duty of good republicans is to pro- mote good government and you can no more get good government from men who are in polivics for what there is in it than you can grow figs from thistles, This doctrine is very offensive to the rabble that.runs with the machine, but the clean, decent element of the party which constitutes its backbone can only bo induced to give hearty support to candidutes who command their respect and confidence. —_— PATRICK 8. GILMORE. The world of music suffered a distinct and positive loss in the death of the popular musical director, Patrick S. Gilmore. While not a great musician he was highly successful as a director, coupling with his musical attainments shrewd business tact and excellent judg- ment as to what the public desired. Therefore, while not ranking as a musi- cian with Thomas or Damrosch or Seidl or Sousa, he acquired greater popularity than either and made for himself a unique place among the musical direc- tors of his time. The Gilmore concert had a character and quality peculisr to itself and Gilmore was the most pictur- esque of conductors. His aim was to please the people, and in this he was pre-eminently successful. The thor- ough musician and the exacting critic found more pleasure in listening to the Thomas orchestra in its best days, and the Marine band as now constituted is unquestionably a superior organization to the Gilmore bund, but the last ap- pealed to the popular taste and hence has boen uniformly successful. With the great muss of people the lighter and livelier music will always be tirst in fuvor, and it was the admix- ture of "the classical and the plain or simple music, each rendered ..with equul care and conscientiousness, which gave tho Gilmore concerts their pop- ularity with all classes.

The contrast between this country and some of, the countries of Europe in this respect is very striking. For exampie, the Russian government last year appropeintéd only $2,892,000 for the support of' public schools, while the single state of New York appropri- ated $18,214,687.58. Russia is a country of vast extent containing an immense population, but it isone of the most mis- erable countries on the face of the earth. The wretched condition of millions of the czar's subjects is due to various cagses, among the most impoctant of which is popular ignorance. THE testimony of & number of farmers of Valley county, presented in THE BEE, is corroborative of the general testi- mony - of farmers throughout the state of Nebraska and shows thav a very little money invested in farming lands in this state can be made to yield splen- did returns by careful and prudent man- agement, The industrious and perse- vering farmer in this state is certain to be a winner. In a very great number of instances those who huve had hard work to make both ends meet have been men who had no money to start with, If farmers of that class can struggle through their difficulties and finally pay their debts it is evident that the soil of this state is generou: THOSE oreide folks who believe Me- Kinley can talk on nothing but tariff should read his great speech at Phila- delphia, delivered before the most bril- liant and enthusiastic political gather- ing ever assembled in that city.

I want to say that by the law of nations it is not nearly enough, for by the law of nations tho saviors of a sinking ship are entitled to salvage, and that salvage is frequently as much as 25 per cent of the value of the vessel. The soldiers of the war of 186104 were tho saviors of the ship of the union, and $150,000,000 a year is very small salvage to pay them.

It is this truth, that the peoplo of the United States will see that no man is ever elected to an office of profit and trust in this country who opposes the payment of pensions to the soldiers of the rebellion. This speech, taken in connection with the weneral's declaration in Chicago that the union veterans would never support Cleve- land, is indeed significent. His words on Thursday night fell upon the ears of many men who, although they fought to suppress the rebellion, act poiitically with the demo- cratic party. The old Third corps was filled with fighting democrats, The survivors who heard General Sickies’ plea will not vote for Mr. Cleveland.

The success of the electrical trust does not mean better lighting or better motive power; it does not mean cheaper highting or cheaper motive power. It means a higher price for both, and no improvement in either. 1t means the 'cessation of all experiments looking to an improvement, over tho present mothods of electrie rapid transit. With mit- lions invested in present day methods, and with a sure thing on all large contracts, why should it strive for anything better. We believe the success of this trust means disaster and ruin to the whole electrical in- dustry of this country, and an increased charge to the public for what have bacome | in ten years necessities—almost as much so as fuel or clothing. Furtherimprovoment is imporative. Thero is ow a contiuued striving after now devel- opments and better methods.
