WiTH no one to electioneer for the populist candidfte for congress in this district, he may be said to be a political OrfTan, IN THE po'tical game of cards now be- ing played in the Fourth district, it is quite evident that the populists have a cold Dech. SouTH OMAHA gambling dens are olosed. It is always cnsy to close such places. The work comes in keeping them closed THE Georgia democrats hold an elec- tion today nnd they will toss up tonight to seo whether they make it 20,000 or 40,000 majovity. New YORK is going to attempt to show the country next week what a mistake congress made by not giving to her the World’s fair. TUNTHINKING people and the news- papers still call it “the Omaha conven- tion,” deaf to the bitter sighs and en- treaties of this western metropolis. 1F GENERAL VIFQUAIN can only run his congressional race as well as he did the county seat war, Messrs. Hainer and Dech might as well pull off the track. I1 18 all over, no county seat war now. And the Omaha guard can sleep with less nervousness than he slept Monday night. No rural uprising, no militia domination. GOVERNOR PENNOYELR of Oregon is now a populist and is ready to climbinto the same band wagon“which is now bowling along with Governor Buchanan toward the valley of obscurity. THURSDAY ot this week is German day all over the United States and the German-Americans of this city propose to celobrate it appropriately and exten- sively. This means that it will be an entire success. AT LAST a popular trust has been formed, the piano trust. If it will only raise tho prices 80 that pianos may be practically prohibited, a great sigh of relief will escape the suffering public. The piano habit is one of the worst nuisances in life. It 18 not difficult this year to be a republican in fowa, 1n fact it is a positive pleasure. This is a refreshing change from conditions only n short timoago when it was actually a disagreeable task for many republicans to talk or vote for the republican ticket, THE old trouble broke out again yes- terday at the democratic league meot- ing in New York. The chairman de- livered himself of a freo trade speech unmindful of Grover's denial a week ago. Democratic principles may move in parallel lines, but, like them, they never come togethor, Tae forestry question is receiving grent attention now all over the coun- It is quite evident that steps must be taken by legislatures or by congress 10 stop this wholesnlo and ruinous de- nuding of the forests which is having prosent bad consequonces with promises of future results of widespread disaster. IF Toe average Omaha citizen had not been accustomed to those things, the “authoritative announcements’ made almost the same day that we are to have a railway bridge und a union depot would have overcome him, But he only smiles and observes that ‘‘the fall crop of chestnuts svems to be a little larger than usual,” MANY Berlin people nnd——unwspnpflrs condemned in most unsparing terms the Botion of the Fire islanders in the Nor- mannia episode. But this same city, in e - Fallways and restaurants boy- cotted and refused to tolerate Aubrey Stanhope, the correspondent, after he had been pronounced safe.

The number of permits in these two months of "1 was THE OMAHA DAILY B SURSEQUENT EVENTS, At long ns thora was & project for taxing this community three.quarters of a million dollars 1o secure anenterpriseof this charac- tor Tie Bex was ready to soize upon any- thing and “believe all things,"” but when a new enterprise is given to the city without money and without price it is strangely aftlicted with doubts and misgivings, The IWorld-Herald 18 not given to hasty conclusions, and 1t s slow to acoept the as- surances of corporatians when they seck sub- sidles from tho peopla, This paper opposed the giving of a bonus of £150,000 to the Union Depot company, and subsequent events have proven the position justifiable. This paper also refused to give its support*to the voting of 150,000 to the Nobraska Central enter- prise, and subsaquent events have now shown that the World-Her:ld was correct. * %+ ® There may bo somo delays, The Unlon Pacifio wili undoubtedly obstruet 10 its utmost overy effort to push this new entorprise, but Union Pacifio obstruction has been overcome before uow and will be over- come vy the present company.— World-Herald, Some people take great pride in being endowed by ure with good hindsight It is pussing strange, however, that this community refuses to bank on the fore- sight of the World-Herald. Tt opposed the union depot proposition as vigor- ously possible for a paper tha ghts with Quaker guns and the propo- sition carried by nbout ten to one.

As it is, we are no worse off than we had been for twenty yonrs and we have a fair prospoct of gotting n respeciable s, depot on the site of the old cowshod in the near futyro without any boaus. In any event, we have done away with a dangerous crossing and made the south- tern part of town to travel and traflie. aceessible It is true the Woild-IHerald did not give its support to the enterpr and ska Central its straddle and in spite 1hized opposition of competing the proposition support of rly thr the voters, which goes to Hepald in this com- munity occupies much the same position as the fly does on the revolving wheel. Subsequent events do not as yet justify the conclusion that the people who favored vhe projecthave blundored. Quite 10 the contrary, if the Nobrasks Central subsidy had been votea down the Interstate Bridge company would bave been content with building a $300,000 or $400,000 bridge at Bast Omaha. Now it proposes to duplicate the terminal facili- ties of the Nebraska Central, build largo freight and passenger depots and a line to South Omuha at an expense of o $5,000,000. If it carries out this project and drives the Nebraska Central out of the field the people who voted the bonds have conferred a great benefit on Omaha. If, on the other hand, the Ne- bfuska Central carries out its origi program and Omahk shall get two new bridges, two new depots, two new lines to South Omaha and a road throagh Towa :ssible on reasonable terms to the hatf-dozen railroads that are point- ing toward Omaha, we shall more than get our money back in the inerensed tratfic and m itehless transfer facilitie Tie Bee has no disposition to dis- credit the interstate bridge enterprise, nor does it underrate its value to the future growth of Omaha. The only point we make is that the sudden activity of its promoters, in spite of Union Pacific opposition, tends to ereate the impression that it is a move designed to block the Nebraska Central in its effort to 1aise foreign capital. The wemendous display of studhorse type by the Woild-Herald, coupled with its an- nouncement that thé Nebraska Central is choked to death by the new scheme, has fortified the popular belief that the great funfarade about the new inter- state transfer is designed for eastern consumption. Tne Beeis for Omaha first, last and all the time. It always has given and always will give active help to any project that tends to build up Omaha. We do not want Omaha to occupy the position of the dog in Jsop’s fuble that dropped his chunk of meat into the river and jumped after its shadow. When the Interstate company builds a first class railway and wagzon bridgo with freight and passenger depots and transfer facilitivs that will afford to ail railroads an inlet and outlet betwoen Council Bluffs and South Omaha we will cheer for it and give it credit for its good work. If it means sim- ply to connect East Omuaha with Council Bluffs by a low bridge builv for local transfer purposes, then the Nebraska Central with its high bridge, central depot and overhead road to South Omaha will still remain a necessity. But in s cold water treatment erests, re- the ceived fourths of show that the Worl Qe - vo ac ENTERPRISE IS INVITED, The fact that the capacity of Omaha button factory has been doubled within the past sixty days indicates that this young industry is prospering. It also presents an important suggestion that is worthy of attention. If thé man- afacture of pearl buttons can be profit- ably carried on here it is reasonable to suppose thut manufacturing in scores of other lines would pay equally well in this city, The button mukers procure their weterials in distant lands. But for the acciaent that men acquainted with the artof button making came to Omaha to seek their fortunes in other lines of omployment that industry would have been among the very last to which attention would have been directed in a city situsted thousands of miles from the sources of waterial supply. Right here in the center of the American con- tinent pearl buttons are manufactured the | from materials brought from Singapore, | and it appears that the businessis thriv- and the amount was $242,740, whilo | fl"me past two months the number is | 202 and the amount $409,400, while Oc- tober starts off in two days with about $80,000'in umount. These ure wholesome and significant figures for our citizens and loreign investors. ing. Any urticle of commerce that can be manufuctured elsewhere can be pro. duced here 1f entorprise and capital are enlisted for the purpose. An immeuse territory that can bp counted upon as the na ural market of Omaha invites men of energy to engage 1o maoufacturing here. Hundreds of articles of common use that wust ulways be in demand all over the great region in which our job- bing houses are carrying on a prosper- ous business can bs produced as profitas bly 1n Omaha as anywhero else, This is an old theme, but it does not lose its intorest. The idea that this is a good point for manufacturing never has besn exploded by tailure. There is nothing theoretical or experi- mental about it. Capable men who have embarked in manufacturing enter- prises in this city and elsewhere in this stato have not retired from the field in disappointment and discomfiture, It is a practical fierd that constantly invites endeavor. If one-tenth of the monay that is toaay lying idle in the city of Omaha were wisely invested in manu- facturing plants this would soon be a community of wage earners, and upon the wage earning class every city must depend in great measure for its growth in population, wealth and prosperity. very time acard bearing the words *“T'o Rent™ is nailed upon u cottage door —and there are too many of them in Omaha today—a frosh argument 1in behalf of manufacturing enterprises is brought to public view. The subject deserves the attention of those who are sevking profitable avenuesof investment. AN AUTHORIT Hon. Charles secretary of tho tre st Pai who was asury in the admin- ation of Mr. Cleveland and is an ar- dent supporter of the ex-president, un- qualifiedly approves the demand of the democratic national platform for the re- peal of the tax oa state bank issues, He argues that our citizens are quite capa- ble of dovising and founding banks in the various states and localities which can meot the needs of their people in a manner both safe and elastic, and ex- presses the opinion that no one need have the least fear of wildeat money from that source. As Mr. PPairchild stands very high in demoeraticopinion as a finaacial author ity and is also very close to Mr. Clev land, his anproval of the democratic pronosal to restore stato bank currency possesses move importance than that of any other democratic leader who has ventured to indorse the demand of the national platform for a return to the ola form of currene, It 1s fair to assume that the ¢ not publicly declare his v matter without having pre the subject over with the candidate his party for the presidency, becanse, as af ice in the cam- paign, he would desive to say nothing in conflict with the views of tho candidate. This leads to the conclusion that Mr. Cleveland is not opposed to a vestora- tion of the state bank currency. i) surance given by Mr. Fairchild that there need he no fear of wildeat monoev if the states are allowed to issue currency is not iikely tobe widely ac- cepte th confidence by people who are familiat with the currency of ante bellum days, either from personal ex- verience or astudy of the financial his- tory of that pertod. It is true that the later experience of the people with a sound currency everywhere of equal ue would cause them to be very care- ful regarding the monecy received, but the great majority of the people caunot readily protect themselves against fraud of the treasury did va upon this iously talked of gure of som» promin in this direction, and thcse who would suffer are the people who can least afford it—the small producers and the wago earn At o bunks would be organized substanvial sceurity for thei care would gradually wear away and in a few years the country would be flooded with Diper currency everywhere at a dis- count, with numerous counterfeits, and there would be a complete restoration of the old system. Tie democratic poliey in this rvegard is clearly inde- fonsinle und has b en justly character- ized as the worst manifestation of finan- cial unsounduess which has emanated from that party THE SUBTREASURY PLAN. The populist party leiders are not suying much about the subtreasury plan, but none the less it is a cardinal prin ple of that party—the corner stone, in fact, of its financial poiicy. Its national platform demands a ency 1o be issucd by the general government and distributed direct to the people “'at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent per annum, Lo be provided as set forth in the sub- treasury plan of the farmers alliance, or a better system.” At least two bills weie introduced in congress by repre- sentatives of the new party providing for the establiskment of subtreasuries in accordunce with this plan, and the populist candidate for president s one of the most earnest advocates of it. The measures before congress propose to ap propriate, one $10,000,000 and the other $50,000,000, to provide ‘or subtreasuries in all the counties in the United States, unon proper petition, where the cotton, wheat, corn, oats and tobacco produced in the countyfor the preceding two years exceed $500,000 or $200,000, as pre- seribed in ench bill respectively, It is also provided that the owner of products deposited shall receive treasury notes equul at the date of deposit to 80 per cent of the nev market value of those cur products, Storage buildings are to he built by the government, which is to be- come ing agent of the depositors. The populist party professes to b op- posed to all class legislation, yet the subtreasury scheme conten plates tho worst form of cluss legislation ever pro- posed in this country. It would be es- sentially a vast trust in which the go ernment and the producers of certain products would be co-partners, operat- ing not for the general wolfare, but for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. This preposterous plan pro- poses that certain producers wmay bor- row money from the government upon their products while this privilege is not accorded the producers of other products into which chere has gone equally as much labor. The wage earner cannot avail himself of this scheme. It would be of no advantage to the professional man. The agricultural producer who had no surplus of cotton, or wheat, or corn, or tobacco, however needy or whatever his situation or de- mands, could derive no benefit from the subtreasury plan. Only those who were in a condition to hold their products could get any advantage from this scheme, and these would be enabled to higher rate lo"\ ose who did not have, thus working swdouble injustice. The populist'party professes to be on- posed to mondpdly. but obvicusly the application of (this scheme of ‘‘relief” would result ih the greatest and most dangerous of ,monopolies, If the gov- ernment shoula enter into the business of loaning monéy on farm products and handling them at cost of handling every other person engaged in such business would be compedled to abandon it and seok otiiers, ‘Phere would be no field for private capital or possibility of com- petition with the sovereign, who would print money without limit, deciare it legal tender, and by doing busines practieally av cost monopolize the n nues of trade. Could anything worse bo devised, granting it to be practicable, against the interests and welfare of the geeat body of the ople? Admit, for the suke of argument, that the scheme might be helpful to certain producers who could avail themselves of it, but what about the consumers? And the currency that would be issugd to the holders of produce de- posited in the subtreasuries, what would that lead to? It is proposed to make it a full legal tender for all debts, public and private. How long would it be before such a cureency would expel gold and silver from circulation and be- come so deprecinted that nobody would want it? Is it not perfectly plain that if the government were to undertfke to issue such a vast volumo of paper cur- rency as would be demanded under the subtreasury plan the effect would be to utterly demoralizo the financial tem of'the country and lead to a condi- tion of affairs which could eventuate only in general ruin and disaster? Yot this wild, impracticable scheme, than which nothing in the wholo his of financial vagaries was more ridic lous. is a foundamental part of the policy sys- of the populist party, religiously ac- cepted by most of its adherents us the true solution of the financial and ¢ nomic difficulties of which they com- plain. Can it be necessary to say that it would be the greatest possible mis take to entrust to men who can seriously advocate such a policy the power to muke and execute laws for an intelligent and progressive people? LT T0 TAXPAYERS. rats of the Iourth ward have selected a delegation favorable to the nomination of George Whitlock as councilman., The candidacy of Whit- lock is a brazen piece of impudence und an insult to intelligent taxpayers. Whitlock has earned the execration of all men,regardless of pary. 1f justice had been done him he would have bzen indicted for criminal neglect of duty as building inspoctor in permitting the wall of the Meyer building,under which three persons woré crushed to death and soveral persons erippled,tostana a week after the interior of the building had been burned out, ., He should have been drummed out of town for his cruel per- secution of the late Meyer Hellman. He should be forever barred from any office of profit or trust far helping to logroll the Keteham furniture job through the city council while he w an officer of the city. The candidaucy of Whitlock is evi- deatly a put-up job to insure the elec- tion of the bogus watchdog, but the zens of the Fourth ward will repudiate them both and elect somebody who will protect the interests of the taxpayers, ideaof the advantages of ad- vertising may be had from the fact that the train londed with Nebraska pro- ducts, which is now on ils way east, is atbracting the attention of thousands of people in every town where it stops. It appears that in the little village of Oneida in Illinois over 400 people have emigrated to Nebraska during the past year in consequence of having seon the exhibits of our ‘advertising train 1 fall. In another small Illinois town 879 excursion tickets to Nebraska were sold during the past year asu direct result of this form of advertising. The plan of running this year’s advertising train over the same route taken last year is certainly a wise one, for it will confirm and emphasize the favorable impres- sions alvoady made upon the miuds of many who contemplate secking naw homes. ‘They will see an exhibit much larger and move diversified than u of last year, and will be impressed with the fact that the resources of this state are only just beginning to be developed. Large results may be confidently pected from this advertising exhibit. o ik Treasury department has just is- sucd its' report on education in college: comparing the attendance in the differ ent states for the year 1880-00 with the year 1885-86. The report for Nebruska is very encouraging, compared with the records of adjacent states. Iowa’s col- lege students have decreased from 2,403 to 1,888; Kansas shows a decrense from 949 to 808, Colorado a decrease from 136 10 119, Illinois from 2,774 to 2,360, and even Pennsylvania shows a slight de- crease.
