Wonder if they are at all related? SOME of the would-be county attor- neys now striving for the republican nomination are briefless barristers of no experience in criminal practice. Thoe convention should commend them to their studie THE Board of Cdfinty Commissioners handlesnearly a million dollarsannually. Can the taxpayers of Douglas county afford to elect men to places on the board who have not business ability enough to carn a livelihood? As FARMER CROUNSE crosses the po- liticul field of Nebraskn he is making a broad furvow through the swamps of populist horesies and covering them up by his bright plow shares of logical argument and common sense. CosTa RICA is the latest country to enter into reciprocity with the United States. No trade movement of modern times has ever had such a rapid and pronounced success as American reci- procity, which democrats are still de- aouncing as a fraud, It WILL greatly strengthen the ro- publican ticket if menave nominated for the office of assessor who are honost and capable. This is an important matter. Interosted parties will foist corrupt men into these places if permitted to do so. Let the convention give this matter the attention it deserves. RESIDENTS of this city and state who have not yot taken out their “first” nat- uralization pavers should attend to the matter at once. October 7 is the last day upon which the courts will issue papers enabling alions to vote in the November elections. Chairmen of re- publican county committeos should wake a note of this fact. — TitE council has acted promptly in making every provision for the Twenty- second street pavement. The matter now rests with the Board of Public Works, whose chairman is under the spell of the stone contractor who will pave Twenty-second street. The people will not tolerate any delay from this quarter. It is the duty of the board to push this work, PROMINENT German-American citi- zens are interesting themselves in tho effort being made in New York to raise contributions for the relief of the labor- ing cluss of Hamburg, where the chotera has well nigh para'yzed all lines of in- dustry and thrown thousands of men out of employment. The earnestness and liberality which characterize our Ger- man-American citizens, shown in the work now being done in this city in be- half of the aflicted Hamburgers, is a guaranty that Omaha’s mite will bo fully up to the demands of the cuse, — IMPORTANT amend ments of the Omaha charter may be made by the next legis- lature. ‘T'hey will be left almost entirely to the Douglas delegation, whose recom- mendations will be adopted by the legs- lature without doubt. These cousidera- tions should impal the county conven- tion Saturday to select men of good busi- ness ability who have gumpuion enough to perceive the needs of this city and in- tagrity enough to vote according to con- solence. Ward bummers are clamoring for these positions, The people of Douglas county will not vote for a man whose convictions are & wmarketable comwodity, HARMONY AND WORK [N NEW YORK. If there has bean a shadow of doubt in the mind of any man as to the loyalty of Hon. Thomas C, Platt and Hon. Warner Miller to the rapublican party and its candidates the great meeting at Cooper Union in New York city on Wednesdny evening must have dispelied it pletely. Mr. Platt presided over thut mooting and made a speach that, by its eloquence and must have sur- prised thosa who have known him only as o man of dords, Hisdiscussion of the issues of tho campaign was elear, forcibla and convincing. and tho whole tone of hie nddress bore witness to his fidelity to the organization with which he has actively affilinted since the day of its birth and his zeal in behalf of the re-elec: tion of Prosident Ha: Referring to the contestin which ha was a partici pantat Minneapolis, he said: ‘“‘But a majority of the convention decided that he who four years rescued the nation from democratic mi who, during the four yoars of his incumbency. had so faithfully borne the republican standard, and whose administration had signally promoted natio prospority. should lead us agun to victory, and Benjamin Harrvison of Indiana becaimo the republican nomince.” The will of the majority is not only respected by Mr. Platt, but he fully recognizes and acknowledges the merits of the candi- date chosen, and gives him tho most effective support possible. The speech of Mr. Mille Mr. Platt, was full of loyalty to the party and its candidates. *“All differ- cnces of opinion as to the republican party,” he said, “ended when tho cbn- vention at Minneapolis declaved choice.”” The democrats who huve been talking about republican discord in New York, have never had any rouson to ox- pect that these leaders whuld withhold their support from Harrison and Reid, nor even that they would addvess them- selves to the work in an indifferent and perfunctory manner, Their attitude is in striking contrast to that of Sanator Hill, who is making a thin pretence of supporting Cleveland, but 1s veally nc- tuated by no purpose but to protect and promote his own politic fortunes. Plutt and Miller are in pevfect accord with the platform of their part nd ave not exercising vheir ingenuity in ex- plaining it away or trying to make it seem to wean something entively differ- ent from what it says. The Cooper Union meeting will do a great deal of good in the state of New York and its influence will be felt elso- where; not that it settles anything that was before doubtful as to the harmony of the republicans in that state, but be- cause the enthusiasm and zeal displayed will arouse the workers to more vigor- ous and determined activity. Mr. Plat stated the prime duty of every republi- can when he said: “Organize, organ- ize, organize throughout the oity, and throughout the state and throughout the tand. No meve enthusiasm and hue- vah will compensate for your thorough and perfect work, Work, work, work, and join your ward associntion; help to get up mectings; talk to your neighbors; encournge your friends; turn out with your clubs, and above all help with all your might to get every republican voter out ou election day.” This ex- hortation is as pertinent to the west as to the cast, and its force is not impaired by the fact that it hasoften been heard befo New York is setting a good ex- ample. $ com- power, ison ago rule; like that of BANK CURRENCY. The care which tho democratic lead- ers take to evade the plank in the national platform which demands a re- peal of the tax on state bank issues is not complimentary to the sagacity and judgment of the 900 delegates in the national convention, all of whom voted in favor of this proposition. ~Mr. Cleve- land made no direct reference to the plank in his letter of acceptance - and Senator Hill has nov discussed it in any of his speeches. It is evidently not an agreeable subject to these leaders, and we have not observed that any democrat of prominence has cared to pross it upon the attention of the people. Still the democratic party is us fully committed 1o the restoration of the state bank cur- rency, which would immediately follow the removal of the tax, as it is to the abandonment of protection on the ground thav it is a system without con- stitutional warrant. The people must not, therefore, be permitted tolosesight of tho democratic demand for a state bank currency. It constitutes an issue in the pending campaign of no ordinary importance. A state bank currency would involve the creation of a circulating medium consisting of forty-four different kinds of money—as,many kinds as there are states—issued under such regulations as the soveral states, through their legis- latures, may prescribe, all subject to local influences and to the greed of the speculator and the usuver. This was the case with the state bank currency before the war, and it would be the case with such a currency now or at any time in the future, Anybody who will take the trouble to investigate the cur- rency system that prevailed down to the date when congress taxed the state bank notes out of existence will find thu t few if uny of the notes of the best banks, in the oldest and richest states, were ever at par, while the counterfeiter did as profitable a business as the banker, and all ut the expense of the paople. Every- body suffered loss from such monoy, ex- cept the money changers,and the groat- est losers were the agricultural pro- ducer and the wage earnor. The great- est enemy of these classes are those who propose to return to this sort of cur- rency nnd to restore the wildeat baok- ing, the destruction of which was one of the most valuable compensations of the civil war, . As was said by a distinguished repub- lican leader rocently, there is one thing which this country cannot afford to trifle with, and thas is its money, its measure of value—the moucy which passes among the people in return for their abor and ths produsts of their toil or of their isnd. There is no contrivance so successful in cheating labor and the poor people of the country as an un. stuble, worthless and euasily counter- feited curvenoy. The proposition to go back to state bank circulation is the worst maunifostation of financial un- sounduess which bus emanated from the its. THE OMAHA DAILY BE domocratic party. Tt is infinitoly worse | important artio] than the irredesmablo groonback in un limited volume, as once proposed by that party. It would bs vastly more hurttul, destructive to bhusiness and valus, more harmful to every inter- est than the froe and unlimited coinage of silver. Tt has baen woll said that if this was all there was in the campaign it woula be enovgh to defeat the party which has made the issu —_— CLEVELAND AND THE PENSIONERS. Mr. Cloveland makes a feable attempt in his letter of acceptance to atone for the spirit he manifestod toward the union veterans when he was president. He addressesto the men who preserved the union, and who have an imperish- able claim upon the gratitude and the generous care of the American people, a few lines of platitude and strained sentiment which he doubtless hopes will induce at least those old soldiers who aro predizposed to vote with the democ: racy to condone his treatment of them in the past and give him their support in the hopa that he will in the future, in the cvent of his election, show more rogard for their interests. It has been said that thore are 25,000 veterans in the state of New York who are demo- crats, but who, Mr. Bourke Cockran de- clared in the Ch 7o convention, would not vote for Cleveland. There are old soldiers iu every state who are democrats, and it is to these that the democratic candidate for president makes his bid for support. But Mr. Cleveland will find that dem- cratic veterans, however strongly at- tached they may bo to the princivles of the party, believe as fully and firmly as republican veterans in the duty of the government to properly provide for those of its preservers who may need its are and for their widows and orphan An example of this is Gene Daniel . Sickles, whose democracy is unques- tionable, but who believes in a liberal pension policy, and who will not vote, unless he has been outragoously mis- rapresented, for Mr. Cleveland, That there are thousands of democratic vet- erans in New York and other states who will follow the example of General Sickles, the intrepid soldier who left a legon the bloody field of Gotiysburg, is not for an instant to be doubted. They would be untrue to their comrades and to themselves were they to do other- wise, for there is not a sound reason wiy they should expect anything bet- ter from Mr. Cleveland were he again chosen to the presidency than they ro- ceived at his hands when he occupied that exalted station. He would ac- knowledge no obligation to the soldier vote for Lis election, but would yield to the same influence, proceeding largely from the democracy of the south, which prompted him to disregard theinterests and welfare of the old soldiers when he was the chief exzcutive of the nation. It would be manifestly absurd to assume that Mr. Cloveland has conceived kind- lier and more generous sentiments to- ward the veterans with the lapse of cars. Never favorable to o just recog- nition of their clatm wpon ‘the substan- tinl gratitude of the country. it is not in his nature to have changed. Mr. Cleveland made his administra- tion notorious by his vetoes of pension Dbills. About 300 such measures encoun- tered his disapproval. Is it reasonable to suppose that the veterans will con- done this extraordinary record of hos- tility and again repose confidence in the man who made it? Why should they desiro to bestow the highest office in the giftof the people upon a man who has thus shown an utter want of sympathy with the men who preserved. the union, when they have an opportunity to vote for a candidate who was himself a brave de- fender of the government and who is one of the most earnest and generous friends of the old soldiers? Is it conceivable that any voteran who did his duty in the day of the country’s peril can hesi- tate a moment in choosing between Benjamin Harrison, who made an hon- orable military record, and Grover Cleveland, who sent a substitute to the front and who subscribed in 1864 to the declaration of his party that the war was a failure and ought to bo brought to a close, though to have done so at that time wouid have «insured the dismem- berment of the union? The offense of Mr. Cleveland aghinst the veterans of the country—an offense alike ranted and unpatriotic gotten and will not be for by the men who conquered rebellion and pro- served the union, more Grover OUR OENTRAL AME MARKE1S, 1t is nnnounced that Secretary Foster expects to completo in a few months a recriprocity arrangement with another Central American republic, Costa Rica, under the third section of the McKinley law. It is also expected that Nica- raugua will ratify an agreemont of a similar nature upon the assembling of her next bienniul congress, which will meet next winter. The Costa Rican congress hus ulveady ratified the ar- rangement made between the Amer minister of that eountry and our State department, but our own congress hus not yet acted upon the report, When these two treaties have been perfected, reciprocity will bave been established with all of the five Central American republics except Honduras From Costa Riea this country receives large auantities of coffee and some other important articles of commerce. Isti- mates prepared by the Costa Ricin goy- ernment place the present rate of im portation from this country at $1,000,000. Some of tho principsl articles, among which are wheat, flour and kerosene oil, will continue to be dutiable, the ad- ditions made to the free list in favor of this country being mining machinery, agricultural implements, avparatus lor irrigation, materials for railroad con- struction, structural iron, building vim ber, ete., and also such agricultural products as corn, beans, oats, rye and rice. Asanew railroad has just been projected in Costa Rica, it is expected that the treaty will give our producers of materials and equipments some ad- vantages in that direction, The total value of the exports and im- ports of that couatry in 1891 was $18,- 015,636, showing # very rapld increaso within two yeurs. The exports of goffee alone amounted to $5.484,115. Under the terms of the new arrangement this ¢ will be admitted into the United Stades fres of duty. The merchandise infdited into Coswa Rica from the United; $Juates last year was valued t $2,419.242, and as the trade by tween the two copntries is growing ver fast it is expectad fhot it will soon bo- come important 4o onr producers in the lines affected by tHo troaty.

There may be some truth in the dis- closures made by B, C. Rewick against officors of tho hospital for insane, but his attempt to besmirch the Board of Public Lands and Buildings has proven a flat failure, The present board has shown itsolf ready and anxious to invos- tigate charges of crookedness against the management of state institutions and apply a speedy remedy. The record of the board in the case of the Hastings asylum investigation has rightfully won for it the confidence of all classes of cit- izens. If Rewick had been honest in h1s professions he would have laid all the facts before Attorney Genoral Hast- ings last spring when called to the lat- ter’s office with that object in view. But he preferred to hold his thunder that he might have a club with which to bluze his way into the police judgeship of Lincoln. When the attorney general found Rewick, by his own words, to be a blackmailer he kicked him out of his office. If the charges Rewick mukes are true, 50 much more does he deserve condemnation for the courso he has pur- sued. For the price of an office he was willing to suppress all reference to the facts, 7 The World-Herald seeks to fasten the respousibility for this alleged crooked- ness on both democratic and republican state oflicers in order to bolster up the independent state ticket. Ix-Attorney General Leese repudiates all attempts to make political capital out of Rewick’s disclosures. . M. Leese stands high in the esteem of all classes of citizens, regardless of asaman of sterling integrity. He was for years a member of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, and, therefore, speaks from personal experi- ence and observation. He is not now in accord with the republican party, but on the contrary has necopted the nomina- tion for district judge on the people’s party ticket. He can, therefore, be con- sidered as strictly impartial. But Gen- eral Leese manfully expressed the opin- ion, after hearing.all the charges made by Mr.R ewick, that any attempt to at- tach the responsibility for whatever crookedness thetre may have been should not be laid at the door of the Board of Public Lands atid Buildings. The next legislature will doubtless look into the chargesof malfeasance and take such steps us may be necessary to ascertain to what extent the state has been defrauded. and devise measaves necessary to prevest a recurrence, THE announcément that Nancy Hanks has trotted a mile in-2:04 on the' regula- tion track at < Terre Haute will strengthen the faith of those who have predicted that the two-minute hdrse would come within the present century. It was a wonderful performance, but considering that this remarkable little mare has been cutting down the record all summer it seems less istonishing than if some other animal had done it. The public has come to expect great things of Nancy, and perhaps there would be little surprise manifested it she should lower this great record a second or two before the seazon 18 ended. Whep a trotter goos a quarter at the rate of 1:38, and a hulf at the rate of 2:024, and finishes the mile in 2:04 al- most as fresh as when she started, it is perfectly reasonable to suppose that a two-minute record will soon ve wit- nessed. Nancy Hanks is only 6 yeurs old, and as most of the trotters have not daveloped their full powers at that age the public wili expect her to achieve greater wonders next year. A pleasant thing for humana people to contemplate is the fact that this superb record breaker does her work easily, finishes fresh and really seoms to enjoy her per- formances. —_—— ‘Wit democrats defending their rec- ords and trying to justify the platform of their party, with populists making a tremendous effort to prove that - the country is going to the dogs, and with republicans steadily hammering hard facts into the heads of all who are not alrendy on the side of protection and good government, there is quite a polit- ican stir in Nebraska at present.
