IN THE scleclion of councilmen every voter should divest himself of all bias and select the man who in his honest judgment will promote the city’s inter- ests. DRYENFORTH and his explosives have goue to Texas to stir up somo rain in ihat country. Luck may favor them there but luck is the ozly thing in their favor. WOMEN cannot vote in the school eloction unless they are registered, or can swear in their vote by showing that they wero absent from the city or ill on registration days, THE heart of the entire nation goes out to the poor Tammauny democrats in New York city who are being abused and cowod down into losing their votes bocause of the tyranny and oppression of Johany Duvenport.

The procecdings are required to be en- tered on the journal of eachi house. The law makes ample provision for the set- tlement of all controversics relative to olectors, Inu case of the non-election of president and vieo president by the electoral college, the house clects the president and the senate elocts the vice president. In tho election of president, ouly the three persons having the high- est number of votes of tho electoral col- lege are oligiblo. The voting is by states, each stato counting ons, and the vote of a majority of the states 1s. re- quired to elect. Tntho election of vico president, one of the two highest cun- didates must be taken, and a majority of the wholo number of votes in the sen- ate is needeod to effect an clection. Iv will thus bo seen that the of a president is far from being com- pleted with the easting of the wopular vote, though it bas happoned but twice in our tory that the result wus not decided by that vote. Therc is a strong, and perhaps growing timont that tho present method of electing a pros- ident is unnecessarily complex, and that it would bo more consistent with republican institutions to clect by the popular vote, majocity the house. to taday for tion provides hatl most on vote below el tho constit s choson sam throu now rive th showiing the result ich shall be ail to the States senat dis- which ctoes 1857 directs thut session on ssident se vt *tion A QUESTION OF TRANSPORTATION. The westorn farmor who ships his produce to the eastern market betweon tho middle of this month and the luth of noext May will indivectly pay into the pockets of the railroad companies of the east tho dillerenco betweon their pr ent rates and the rates that will bo established as soon us the cunal is closed for the winter. The New York Cham- bor of Commerce has requested thatthe Frie canai be kept open as long as pos- sible this year on account of tho grain blockade, but the formation of ice will close navigation on that great water- way within two or three weeks. It secins a pity that the west, which is deeply interested in the subj of transportation to the eastern scaboard, should be unable to exort any dirvect in- fluence upon the canal quostion. The recent convention at Buftalo in the in- terest of canal improvement may do some good, but no influcnces were brought to bear upon its action except thoso bolonging to the stite which it traverses. Promivent men from New York city, Buffalo und other points on tho line were present to unite in an appeal totho state legislature to tuko mensures for the improvement of tho cunal, but the great interests of the west were not represented, Ilesolutions wero presented from several western cities, including Chicago, Milwauloe, Detroit, Duluth and Toledo, in which the intevest of the west in the improve- ment of the Frie canal was set forth, but there was no reprosentation from this section in the convention. It is unfor- tunato t # common currier of such importance to the whole country should be wholly controlled by the lezistutive action of a single state, but there is no remedy excont through governuent cons trol, and there 1s little prospect of that. ' The enlargement of the K-ie canal 18 absolutely demanded by the interests of the west. The New York Commercial Bulletin ¢ “The interest taken in the presorvation of the New York cunals by the great grain markets of the west is eusily explained by o comparison of the grain freights to the seaboard rul- ing during the open season of tho canals with thoso oxacted by the railvoads dur- ing the time when they alone are avail- able for transportation purposes. Gerain rates from Buffalo to New York during the latter poriod are, us rulo, fully double those ch wged during the former; and the difference between marks the isfluence of the cansls in en- abling shippers 1o hold fore ign trudeg by cheapening the cost of laying down their grain io forcicn markots, There is nothing for the west todo in this matter beyoud what it is wlready the wwo THE OMAHA doing In the way of improssing the peo- ple and tho Inwmakers of New York h the importance of making the wauterway effective as an outlet stern grain and other products. inal is now so much in need of im- provemont that during the past season hundrods of boats have been laid up be- eouid not afford to Buffalo to New York he deepening of the cunal and the enlapgement of the locks is domanded by the interests of New York in order thet a cheap outiet for tern products may ba secured, for idonment of the ecanal would nuse the vast grain output of tho west to ba distributed by rail to other eastern te which have in the pust coived only a smail portion of it. The railronds tryi destroy the canal, put in the interestof cheap teans- n this should be prevented. grea for w cause their run th from only half londed owners m mark ro- portat THE COLOR AN LN THE SOUTIL recent repart of the of Georgia the as tho on of that state pay 20,000,000, 1t also ap- proporty owued by the rroes has increased in valuo r the pust twenty years much moro rapidly than has the proporty owned by the whites. It is som»what significant that such advancoment in material pros- ity should have been made by tho A vacy in the south in spito of all obstaclos which they have to encounter. The secret of the achieved by the negross in Georgin is that they aro workoers, wiilo u b portion of the white men eat the bread of idleness. When it is remembered t these col- ored man were o fow years ago ms chattels, with no opportunities what- ever for acquiving o knowledge of busi- noss and with no incentive to accumu- late property 0a theic own account, it is remarkable that should now hold 220,000,000 worth of pronarty in a single stite. This, nowever, is only theiv ns- sessed valuation, aad doubt their total po d amount to a great deal more. According to comptrolier gen sessed valuition of nroperty which (ho nogrocs is fully pears that the Georgla te durir suceess 0 the no ssions wou Tu spite o southern no He does not | iscouragements tho » uppears to be doing well, ave an equal chance with the white man but ho is willing to worlk, and work always counts, There aro many idie and worthless colored peoplo in the southern states, but thore are also many who avo industrious and thrifty, who save their earnings and seck to ne cumulate property. Considering that these people few years ago in a condition no better than that of an ordinary ast, of burden it is surprising that they should now bs making such progress in material prosperity. Give the colored man i chance and ho will maice his own way in life «nd take his place among those who ma ke and save money. [ AS TO WHi AND WHITLOCK. There are only two caundidates for the city council in the Fourth ward, D. H. Wheecier and George Whitloc T BEE has been asked to state which in its judgment is the most deserving of the support of the taxpayers of the ward. Tar Bee frankly concedes that both of these candidates are objection- abie, but in such ¢ises the only thing to do is to choose the man who will do the least mischief. There is an old adago that when a man cheats you once he alone is to blame. [f he cheats you twice you can only blame youwsell. D. H. Wheeler has had a fair teial in the city council, He made the office a source of revenue for himsell and forced insurance upon nearly evervbody who had ¢ busi- ness with the city. Ho was n leader in tho disreputable combine of 1889 and worlked with the gang that was repudiated last year. ITis work In and out of the council has been against the city and for corporations. It was through his agency thut the Board of Trade was compeiled to abandon the freight turcau project and loave Omaha jobbers at the mercy of the railroads. Wheeler has no claim to the support of repubiicans., Ile worked against Lininger and testified under oath that he voted for Cushing, In view of theso facts Tii B, un- hesitatingly advises the taxpayers and citizens of all purties 1 cast their votes for Whitlock. Whitlock is not exactly what the citi- zens of the Pourth ward desire, but ho is not as dangorous as Wheeler and at best hie will bo on probation during his first term, THE MONETARY CONPERENCE All the countries that will participate in the international monetary confer- ence have appointed their reprosonti- tives, and thore is nothing surprising in the statoment that the advocates of tho single gold standard are in the major- ity. It was expocted that Er Gormany, Austria and Bslginm would sond dologations having a preponder- anco of monometallists, but it apnears that this fact is not regadod as nocos- sarily defeating the prime purposs of the confercnce, which is to devise somo plan for the (arger uso of silver in int national exchangos. It iy repoctedl to be the belief in London financial cireles that the conforence will elfect some aveangement, and thers is no longer talk of thoe futilivy of the conzress. There can bo no doubt that I financiers, whose influence in the con- ference will be stronger than that ot the financiers of any othes country, realizo thut thera is urgent nocussity for a settlomont of the silver quastion that will remedy existing difficultios, which are as troublesome and embar- rassing to Englund as to aoy other nation, This was vlainly shown in the recent gddress of the¢ president of tho British Institute of I3inkars, who said that the duty of ths goverament to offect a practical remedy for tho exist- ing difficulties could never ba met by theoretic discussion. This declaration hus been recpived ns highly significant, indicating ns it doos n decided change w tho attitude of British financial eireles toward this question. Equally significant have buen some of the news: paper expressions, which reflect the popular sentiment und indicate u growth of opinion favorable to a more liboral poliey vegarding silver. It is said that the governmont is considering sugges: i"“"" befure iustructing its delegates, glish DATLY BER TU SDAY, from influential English firms for a set tlament on the "m« of reciprocal con- cessions, the gold countries receiving silver cowns and [yhe silver countries in return giving regations in tariffs, but obviously a reciftébity of this kind is not practicabla Ve would | ureangemont f be o good rland, but it is not pparent how any dther country would tany advantagyfrom it There will be o great deal bfxinterest in the char- ncter of tho insfructions given the Iioglish delagates, but it is safo to an- ticipate that thay will not be at all in the direction of the free covinage « silver. It is evident that Buropean countries are not unappreciative of the im- portance of the silver question, and t thers is a general desire to find o ution of it, but the conflicting inter- t stake prosent difficulties that dis- urage the hopo of a satisfactory set- tlement. Still it is a reassuring fact that the financial interests of England have ceased to talk about the futility of the conference. and that the Brivish government scems to bo eavnestly sock- ing the bost opinion on the uestion. WARNED AGAINST TIEIR OWN PARTY. Mr. Euelid Martin, chairman of the democratic state central committee, has issued a solemn manifesto to the democ- vacy of Nebraska which reads as fol- lows: Domocrats are warned against ballots pur- porting to be democratic sample ballots upon which crosses are placed opposite the demo- cratio presidential electors, 1t is thoe desire of the democratic state committee that dem- ocrats everywhers should voto for the Weaver elsctors. The avowed purpose of this note of warning is the desire to head off a great conspiracy on the part of the member of the nutional republiean committes to liave democrats supplied with steaight demoeratic sampio ballots in place of the mongrel ballots gotten up at the in- stance of Governor Boyd. What an edifying spectacle! The chairman of the democratic state central committeo telling demo- crats to beware of the straight demo- cratic ticket! Was there ever such an exhibition of duplicity and imbeeility? The idea of ‘ ational party on the eve of a presidentinl contest striking its flay and deserting its ve; nominated clectors! But the most ridiculous of all is the fright of the democratic organ over the discovery that a straight democratic ticket would be cireulatad at the polls today in place of the bastard tickets t have been gotten up by ambitious demoerats to hoodwink thew deluded foliowers while masquerading as Simon- pure democrats. If uny honest democrat 15 not ashamed of sich a pusiilanimous abandonment of all principle he must indeed be devoid of all political prinoiple. ularly NOW GIVE THE TRUTH A CHANCE. Ata recent meeting of the Kansas State Bankers association the president of the association suid: “I congrat- ulate yowuvon the ot eyident debt- paying era that our’ state or any other state has evor known. In fact, it is almost a ‘hoom’ in that divection, Our people are not oniy paying their debts, but are learning valuable lessons of economy. Inall tlie years of our ex- pericnce in tho state we have nevor zeen such a determination to pay debts, Already you have seen the effoct of it— improved credit and cheaper money. 1 congratulate yon upon the bountiful crops of our state this year, upon the ovident increased valueof her farms and lands, and I venture to say that at least the youngor men of this associa- tion will see the farms and lands of Kansas worth twice their selling price of today.” I'his is said of Kansas, a state that certaiuly does uot excel, even if it may be said to oqual, the great state of Ne- braska. It is an expression of what a banker scos and kuows. Similae ex- pressions have come from bankers in this state, and it must be acknowledged that of all classes of husiness men the bankers ure generally most thoroughly informed in regard to the financial con- dition of the people. There is not now any political roason for suying that the defamers of theso western siates have borne fulse witness against them, but wo proposa to keep right on showing that the west is prospering. The people ot Nebrasica as well as thoss of Kansas are in overy respect in a botter condition toduy than over bofo Let us now ve an end of calamivy talk and let overy man defend tho good name of tie western states that have been slandered for political purposes.
