A areAT deal of street improvement work is now going on in Omaha and the extensive grading has changed the whole aspect of sore neightorhoods.

THE democratic masquerade will soon be over and the credulous Weaverite re- publicans will open their eyes wide enough to find out that they have been playing monkey to pull Grover Cleve- land chestnuts out of the fire. ————ee CoLuMBUS day was appropriately ob- sorved throughout Nebraska. The city of Columbus had the Genoa Indian school children as an attraction and their participation in the celebration must have suggested some curious re- flections Lo those who saw them, JouN F. FINERTY, the bold and ag- gressive Irish orator, and editor of the Chicago Citizen, is now making repub- lican speeches in Indiana, after a very vigorous and successful campaign in the east. The Ivish-Americans are coming the right and consistent way this year. —_— THERE is a duty of $2 per 100 pounds on wire nails. Wire nails cost $1.65 per 100 pounds in this country. And still the democratic campaign orators keep - on asserting that the tariff is a tax and the price of every article on which a duty is levied is increased by the amount of the duty. Mg. Drcii, the ripsnorting candidate in the Fourth district, wants the govern- ment to establish subtreasuries to loan 2 per cent money to the farmers, while he declines point blank to lend money for less than 10 per cent to the farmers of Saunders county. Dech is almost as generous ns Artemus Ward, who was willing to sacrifice all his wife’s rela- tions in tho war. Tue bravery of those citizens of Cof- foyville who wived out the Dalton gang has been recognized by the Missouri, Kansas & Texss Railway company, which has contributed $35,000 to be di- vided between those who survived the batue and the families of those who weve killed by the robbers. Itis not a great sum, but it shows that corpora- tions have souls sometimes. There are other railrond companies that were ex- posed to tho danger of raids by theso desperadoes. Would it not be a neat thing for them to come forward and open their plethoric purses? The job was worth at lenst $50,000, and it should be remembered that widows and orphans have a protty hard time in this world. AT THE recent convention of the In- dustrial Alliance of New York recipro- city was heartily endorsed as a system that “‘stimu'ates our trade and manufac- tures, benefits our farmers, and brings old-time prosperity back once more to the docks of our seaports.” Iuis note- worthy that the democratic leaders are not having so much to say now-a-days in abuse of reciprocity as they did earlier in the campaign, having evi- dently concluded that fighting a policy which in less than a year udded over $10,000,000 to our exports to countries with which we have made 1eciprocity agreements, and which has excited the envy and hostility of the priueipal com- mercinl nations of Europe, was not a sagacions plan for winning Amorican voters, It might have done to denounce reciprocity as a shaw and a. humbug until Engiand, Germany and France underwook to undermine this country, thereby confessing their belief in the poteucy of the policy, but when those nations did this the home opposition was silenced. | from that IN THE NORTHWEST, The managers of the democratic tional campnign profess to beliove that Mr, Cleveland will get electoral votes in the northwest.

To both of these currcucy policies of tho democracy a large ma- jority of the people of the northwest aro opposed. A fairand candid investization of tho facts regurding the material condition of the country shows that it is prosper- ous and that the northwest has shared as largely ns any other section in this prosperity.

Commenting upou an article in the Boston (flobe, in which republican pro- tectionists are aceused of rejoicing over the industrinl misfortunes of Great Britain, the Rochester Post-Erpress says: “‘Rejoicing over calamily uny where is contemptibie; and there isonly one thing meaner than for a republican to rejoice over distress in Germany and England, nnd that is for a democrat to rejoice over distress in America,” In discussing the influences of the tariff Tue Bik bas often tuken pains to suy that it found no pleasure in contem- plating the prostration of foreign indus- tries und that the wage rope in purticular were entitled to the sympathy of the American people. The whole tone of the republican discussion of this subject has been the same. In order to present the plain facts in relation to the effects of freo trade and protection it has been necessary to show that the enforcement of our protective policy has produced good results at home und bad resuits nbroad, but there has been no exulta- tion over the distress th has prevailed in Europe. On the other hand it can- not be denied that the free trade demo- crats have rejoiced over every ease of industeial depression that they have discovered in this country. Whenover they have found by diligent inquiry that a manufacturer not prospered or that a wage earner has been thrown out of employment they have blazoned the nows to the world with ov; vi- dence of keen enjoyment. The whole course of the free trade campaign has been one of disparageinents to the indus. tries of this country and to every intor- est dependent upon those industries, When labor difficultics have occurred they huve been magnified, and reports of husiness failures huve buve been re- coived with demonstrations of joy. This may not mean that the free traders of this country are utterly destitute of patriotisi, but it certainly-shows that they are so desperately devoted to thei idol thav they are wiliiug to sacrifies everything to it. The advocates of protection are en- tirely justified in placing before ‘the American people the fullest information coucerning the coudition to which the Luogiish manufacturer and wage earner have been reduced under free trade, and it is right that there should be some ex- ultation over the triumphs which our own protective policy is wioning in a legitimute commerciul contest against our most formidable rival. The nature of the hattle between the protectionists and the free traders in this campaign places the latter in the position of dis- paragiog their own country. As they aim o introduce an English policy they waturally have England on their side, hus na- | repubs | | per- { ana if they suffer by renson of n por ctly rensonnble American prejudice against thar country they have only themselves to blame, But there i# no trath in the statoment that the advo cates of protection rejoice over tho mise fortunes of any country thathas suffered by the enforcomentof our protective pol- jey, and the idea that the **brotherhood of men” has been lost sight of by those vho believe in loo to tho intors ests of our own country is simply absurd.

Mr. Sherman does not believe that the people will do this, and he plainly saysso, Lvery dollar of money now issued is sceured by the government either by gold ov silver coin or bullion or by the deposit of Uneted bonds. If a bank fails the money is still good be- ciuse the governmeat is behind it. Every dollar now issued is good, but the democratic party demands the restoras tion of & system that will flood the coun- try with doubtful money. ‘I'hat part has always opposed the financial meas- ures of the republicans in congress and hins been o consistent enemy of good cur- rency. Whenever a financial folly has beon proposed it has always been found that the democratic party was behind it Grover Cleveland did notsay anything upon this subject in his letter of accopt- ance because he knew that it was dan- gerous to do so.

NE LACKS COURAGE, An interesting letter has been written by Mr. John Jay, lately president of the civil service commission of the state of New York, which position he held by appointment from President Cleveland. He answers Wayne MacVeigh very ef- fectually. One of his best points is based upon a quotation from Mr. Cleve- land’s letter of acceptance, in which the latten & that the American peo- ple “cannot be frightened by the specter of impossible free trade.” Mr. Cleveland delayed his letter of acceptancs long cnough to enable him to see thatthe people would not approve the distinct free trade utterances of the platform upon which he stands, With the light that he then had he did not dare to come out boldly and say that the republican protective poliey would be wiped out if he were elected, e was looking for votes, and he knew that the free trade declaration of the democratic platform would not meet the approval of the people. Grover Cleveland is known to be o believer in free trade, but he has not the courage of his con- victiong, and does not dare to endorse the platform upon which ho stand But there can be no doubt as to the atti- tude he would take upon tariff legisla- tion if he were elected president. He is a freetrader of the most pronounced kind, and has on many oceasions shown that he is opposed to the present pro- tecvive policy. Mr, Jay thinks that the election of Mr, Cleveland would be a menace to civil service reform, in which he is especially interested, but that is of no account in comparison with the dangor to the business interests of the country which would result from demo- eratie suc in the present contest. Mr. Cleveland is u free tradér, and the platform of his party distinetly declares for frec trade. Demoeratic success in this election means the destruction of the protective policy upon which the in- dustries of the country now depend. 1t isimpossible to betieve that the people will permit such a change, THE CONSTITU/10NAL AMENDMENTS, The amendments to the state constitu- tion which are to be voted upon at tho coming election are very important and should not be overlooked or noglected by any voter. Ono of these provides that the educational funds of the stute may be invested in Nebraska registered school district bonds, the constitution now providing for their investment only in United States or state securities, or rogistered county bonds. This limita- tion prevents the invastment of a large amount of this money, there being now Ihl““" 00,000 lying idle in the state treasury and it issteadily accumulating, Registered district school honds would be perfectly safe, and if the funds were allowed to be thus invested thers would bo a stendy demand and o profitable re- turn, The school districts would thus pay the interest into the state treasury. 10 be applied us provided by law, in- stead of to private capilalists or out of the state. Ivery practical considera- tion is in favor of the proposed amend- ment, The other amendment provides for the election of three railrond commis- sioners by the clectors of the state at large. This would be so salutary u change there is every reason to bes lieve that it ought to encounter no op- position, w little argument can be needed to show thav if regulation of railroad rates is to be committed to the care of a commission instead of com- ing direetly from the legislature, the commissioners should te chosen by the direct vote of the people, and be responsible as such to the people.

The superiority of this market over Kansas City has lately been demon- strated to the satisfaction of cattlemen and a large incrouse in shipments from former patrons of the city by the Kaw has been the result.

Unfortunately for the democratic managers who are making such strenuoas efforts to mislead and win the farmer, that great boay of American citizens are perhaps the best in- formed and deepest thinkers of any class of voters that will be called upon to decide bo- tween the zandidates of protection acd freo trade on election day. How the democratic orator is to make tho agriculturist belicve that beis to e benefited by free trade it is hard to imagine, especially at this time, when the most influential newspapers of Great Britaiu are teeming with accounts of the disastrous depression of all agricul- tural interests of Kngiond aud Ireland, An export authority, writing to the London Tunes. says that durinz the first twenty years of free trade 1.500,000 acres of gooi English wheat lana bave beea thrown out of uillage, and that while the country could produce sli the wheat required for its popu- lation, Bugland will soon’ be dependent upou foreign luuas for three-fourths of its bread- stuffs, Thereis pleoty of land to cuitivate, but the depression in all the manufacturing trades of freo trade Great Britain so reduces the prices paid for the farmer’s produce that he can neither afford to employ iaborers nor in muny cases pay bis rent, thus pecessitat- g either his iinmigration to other countries or removal from the rural districts, The samo writer states that the farmors rightly attribute their deplorable condicion to the ruinous policy whick not only impoverishes the masses of the people, but brings into competition with the products of the homo farm those of the Russian and Indian pau- per, The farmers of Great Britain ave even now agitating the formation of a league for securing protestion to agriculiure.

The republican followed. The hoodlums made sowe ais- turbance, but not of a serious churacter. They reserved the most of their lung capuc- 1ty for the populist candidate, who was not pérmitted to utler one compiete sentenco without interruption, so ho told we the uext morning, during tis entive spoech of one hour and a nalf. No violence was offered him, but had the populists attempted to quell the disturbance there is no telling what would have happened. The democratic can- didate was mauly eoouzh, as were a few other leading democrats, to ‘attempt to pre- serve order, but failed, yet there was no puolic dentnciation of the outrage by the democratic machiue. Another Infamous Case. Another case more infamous than the above came under my notice. The populists had arranged for an onen air meeting on the postoltice squaro in tho town whero L was stopping. ‘The dem! s had o meeting the same evening, The Young Men's democratic club and the Workingmen’s Democratic club were marching through the streets to the place of their meeting. When passing the populite meoting roman candles other fireworks were discharged and greu tumult prevailed, Later the Workingmen's Democratic club marched right through the crowd at the populito meeting and with force compelled tho speakers to cease. Pandemonium reigned, and the meeting was completely broken up. They did not lay violent hands upon the speakers, but had they not jumpea from the wagou in which they stood while speaking they might have suffered violence, as the same was hauled sway oy the mob, There were some democrats and other prominent citizens pres- ent who made some effort to stop the mob, but could not do so ‘and for their own safety weuat away. The polico and county officials did nothing, neither was this damoable pieco of hellishness denounced, either by the oficial democracy or the party press. ‘Iho next moroiug 8 member of the Workingmen's Democratic clup told me that the schome to break up the populite meeting was hu'ched in the club room of the organization early iu the evening of the speaking, that the presi- dent of the club was to mildly denouuce the outrage when It was accomblished, which, I was told, was also done, though I did not heur it. The program, however, was very faithfully carried out. It seemed to hurt tho reputation of the democratic party and was roundiy donounced by the beiter citizens of all parties, yet it did not diminish the vote of the party.

These souih orn democrats knowing that most of the farmers of tho northwest were republicaus, and that the democrauic majorities in the south could not be overcome by the ail sent their alliance officers 1nto west to enlist and euroll the farmingele. mont as1ho 14t would cateh more republi caus than democrats, The regular demo. crats of the south and north then coaspired with the democratic alliunce of the sduth o place the alliance couvention at Omaha, Nebraska, in tho heart of tho northwest and in the centor of republican strength, that it might bo easy tor republi to walk into thegrab-net, The democrats have had two objects in these schoemes. E'irst, to divert enough re pubiicans 1nto the allianee or peovie’s party, as now called, to givo the democratio presi aential candidato a majority of the eloctoral colloge, and secondly, if this majority cannot o obtained to thoreby prevent the repab lican caoaidaty from eetting such majority and throw the eloction into the house of oprosentatives, which is ovorwhelmingly nocratic That part of the twaifth ameodment of the coustitution of the United States which con trols the cloction, if in the house, roads as follows The prosident of tho sonate shall in the presenco of the senate and ouso of ropre sentativos, open all the certificates and the votes shall then bo counted. Tho person Having tho greatest number of votes for presidont shall ba the president. if such num: bor be a majority of tho wholo number ot electors (elected ) appointed; and if no p son have such majority, thon from the y sons having the bighest numbers not exceed- ing threo on the 1ist of tuose voted ior presider tthe houso of ronreseatatives shail choose immediately by vallot the president, out in choosing the president the votes shali be taken by tes, tho representation from ocach state having ono vote. A quorum for this purpose shall cousisi of a mewber or members from two-thicds of tne states, and a majority of ali tho states shall bo necéssary to u choico. And if the house of representative shall not choose s prosident whenever the right of choice stall devolve upon them before the 4th day of Mareh next following, tuen the vice presi- deut shall act as president, as in _the easo of tho death or other coustitutional disability of tho president. The person haviug the groatest number of votes as vico president shall be the vice presidont, if sueh numbder bo a majority of tho whole number of electors spvointed elected), and if no person huve a majority, then from the two highest wumbers on tho list the senato shall choose tie vice presi dent, A quorum for the purpose shull con- sist of two-tbirds of the whole number of senators, and a mnjority of the whole num ber shall be necessary o a choice.” You seo the constitution reads *‘but in choosing the prasident the voles shail bo ta- ken by states, tho ropresentation from ecach tate having one vole.”” I'te democrats clinim 10 have a mejerity of the states by their rep- resentation in the present congress. 1f so, they will, if it goos 1o tho hoase, make Mr. Cleveland, and not any other democrat or al- liance man as somo unaduisedly contend. 1f Cleveland shatl bo elected by the diverting of republican votes to the alliance candidate, then twice Cloveland is elected by republi- cans being drawn from the path by an ignis futuus uvon a democratic pole. Should di- verted republicans thus elect Cleveland they will o 50 diszusted with the allianco move that her volitical death will soon follow. No party orgunized soloiy i the interests of anv ono class of peoplo of a nation, or sove can endure long. A national par st be orgamized and maintained ic the interest of the whole peopla, the boay politic, as we should say, 1o be cnduring. “T'he allianco man, democrat or republican, has but to count up the brief lives of all the parties organized 10 tho interest of A part oiily of A nation to satisfy himselfof this, How can any republican, under this vlain state of facts, who voted for Prosident Har- rison four years ago, excuso himself for not voting for him on the Sth next? Harrison has given us one of the cleanest aud ablost civil administrations since the establishment of our government. e has shown himseif a diplomat and a 'over of his country and hor people. He has thrown the full ‘weight of his power to protect the manufacturing, wechanical and laboring clements of this country, and, by reciprocity, has thrown the protection around the farm producing com- munity such as it never before enjoyed. Ho stands nearcr tho silver elemont than Cleve- land, Every republican vote should kil a dem ocr 2 and every ropublican vote diverted to the alliance leaves a counting vote for Cleveland. A republican alliance voter really casts his voto for Cleveland, the very man who is most antagonistic to his in- terests. Jases Nevin s St BUFORE AND AFTER. Aflanta Constitution.
