Just what several Nebraska demo- crats think of President Cleveland would not look well in print. WALTER DAMROSCH recognizes mus- fcal cult when he sees it.

GENERAL VIFQUAIN has received his commission as minister to Panama. He was one of the lucky two or three to get inside before the bars were put up. THE investigation ¢f the management of the Towa penitentiary at Fort Madison has unearthed a mass of corruption as unsavory as any that has ever existed in Nebraska. CARTER HARRISON'S original inven- tion of firing office seeker’s whiskers to rid himself of their prescnce may prove as effectual as the quarrantine ordered by President Cleveland. THE eleven trust companies affected by the bear raid on Wall street last week were capitalized for $246,000,000. The raid wrung $70,000,000 worth of wator out of the stocks. CLEVELAND'S bull excommunicating the office seckers will be about as effect- ive a8 the pope’s famous bull against the ecomet. Neither tho office the comet can be restrained. THE villainous outrages of the white caps in Kentucky suggests that the reputation of that statc might be en- hanced by the presence of some Spartan judge of the Mis: i Tur drouth in England has now con- tinued for cight weeks and crops are suffering greatly. In the meantime the recent rains in Nebraska have dis- counted all prospects of a crop failure. THE explanation of the State Jowrnal that it was compelled to charge high prices for state printing this year in order to recoup itself for losses sus- tained two years ago is decidedly thin. THE selestial inhabitants of San Fran- cisco are not cbeying the Geary exclu- sion act with any dogree of alacrity. Of the 30,000 Chinamen living in the coast metropolis but 500 have complied with the law by registering. Now that the state has practically made its case, the people of Nebraska will wait with breathlpss interest for the testimony which is to prove that the fmpeached officials were deserving of the trust and confidence reposed in them. It WILL be impossible to tell whether the democracy of Nebraska is for free silver until it can bo ascertained which of the distinguished gentlemen now clamoring at the gates around the white house is the democratic party of this state. THE evidences of the greed and rapacity of the concessionaires on the World's fair ground is becoming more apparent over day. The fair di- rectory will attempt to stop the oxtor- tionate charges. Such action should have been taken long ago in the inter st of decency and gate recoipts, business at Omaha as the cloaving house state- ment compi by Liradstred’s shows the total for the weok ending Thursday to be greater by 19.6 per cent than during the correspending period in 1892, Man- ifestly Omaha has not been adversely influenced by the failures of the last few days. DUN reports good, while THE row over the silver question at the next scssion of congress will be worth going to Washington to see. President Cleveland has set his heart on the repeal of the Shorman act and he will bo opposed by a large contivgent of his own party, The free silver demo- orats claim to have a working majority of thirty, As IF keeping pace with the attain- ment in speedy railvoad travel the new Cunarder Campania has beaten the record for the eastward passage across the Atlantic. In her race with the Paris she made it in five days, seven- teen hours, forty-two minutes. The best provious time was two hours and fifteen winutes longer. hunter nor NOT A VINDICATION, The attorneys who are defending the impeached state officials were a littie !t dilatory In eoming forward with the plea that their clients are not guilty of the charge of earelessness for the reason that thay were ‘‘vindicated" b their re-election last fall. The friends of good government have been expect ing a defense of this kind and they are not atall likely to bocome panie stricken now that it has been made. The argument will go for little, either with the court or with the people. The re-election of the impeached officials was in no sense a vindication of the charges against them. In the first placo no attempt had been made to connect the members of the Board of Public Lands and Bnildings with the frauds committed against the state in the matter of furnishing supplies to the insane hospital. The frauds connected with the construction of the cell house had not been hinted at. On the other hand, as prominent a leader of the in- dependent party as Hon, William Leese took cccasion, not only on the stump, but in published interviews, to defend the members of the board from any im- puted conneetion with the frauds. The success of the republican ticket in N ast fall was made pos: nfluences which always surround a state tickot in a presidential year, by an excellent state and local organization, by the partial disintegration of the in- dependent party and demoralization in the democratic ranks. The names of the impeached officials neither weakened nor strengthened the ticket as far as the charg es now brought against them are concerned. It is a iittlo late in the day to cite the vote cast at last year's election in seek- ing an expression of public opinion re- specting the suspended state officials. The voters of Nebraska spoke through their representatives in the legislature less than thirty days ago. It was the force of popular condemnation that in- duced the legislature to impeach the men who are now on trial. If the accused officials are so confident of the “vindication of public approval” let them resign—if they should be ac- quitted—and then come before the peo- ple of the state again this fall for re- election. THE L The convention of the publican league at Louisville was fairly well attended by delegates from the clubs composing the league, but the con- vention was rendered less significant and impressive than was hoped for by the fact that no prominent party leader was in attendance. Those who were an- nounced tobe present and address the league did not go, and most of them sent no word to indicate that they felt any interest in this fiest important gath- ering of republicans since the last presi- dential election, It would undoubtedly be most unjust to these leaders to assume that they were indifferent or that they are not most earnestly concerned for the future welfave of the party. Doubtless all of them could give, if required, en- tively satisfactory reasons for ubsenting themselves from this meeting of the league and omitting to send any word of counsel and encouragment. ach may have concluded that in view of the probability of a number of other leaders being in attendance his presence wonld be unneccessary. But whatever may be the explanation of their absence uml theiv apparent lack of intere tain that the fact will be u opposition to the republican an evidence of apathy and want of confidence on the part of these lead- ers, and it is to be apprehended not without effect. The opportunity to make a brave and earnest appeal to the rank and file of the republican party that might have had a vitalizing and invig- ora‘ing influence has been lost, and it is possible that the leaders who failed to improve this opportunity may sooner or later discover that they made a mistake At any rate the foes of the republican party will not ignore the circumstanc nor fail to give it a significance advan- tagesus to themselvy The resolutions adopted by the league convention are in the main unobjection- able. It was well to expross sympathy with the interests of the wage e and a system of arbitration fo justment of differences b, and labor is t) be desire cable. As to exist in most of the proved by men of all pa elections that will express the will of the people. A number of the states als) have laws to prevent corrupt practices at olecticns and such legislation should become general, The demand for the abolition of Pinkertonism is to be heartily commenled and equally sound is tho demand for the sup- pression of gambling in food prod- uets. The unqualified endorsemont of the forcign policy of the last adminis- teation will ot ba approvel by all re- publicans, some of whom baliove that a mistake was made in the Hawaiian mat- ter. Asty the Mon dretring every pairiotic Amorican eitizen who unde stands the true moaning of that doctrine bolieves that it ought t» b2 alherel to and enforeed, bat this does not reguire that the governmont of thy Uaited States shall assume control of or annex territory distant thousandsof iniles from its boundaries. The policy of prevent Buropean nations from imposing th, political systems upon independ it coun- tries in this hemisphere, which is what the Monvoe doctrine signifios, does not imply that it is the right or tho duty of this government to incorporate other countries, under whatever circum- stances the opportunity to do so may bo offered. No fair construction of this doetrine can make it justify the course of the last administration regarding Ha- waiil. Ineligibility of the president to a second successive term and woman su frage are unimportant as questions of party policy. The leaguo could have very greatly strengthened its declaration of princi- ples by a vigorous denunciation of the trusts and ane arnest demand for the en- forcement of the law against these ¢om- binations. Svmpathy with the wage carners can in no way be shown with greater benefit to this class of the peo- ple than in destroying the monopolies which check production and arbitrarily advauce prices, and there is nosurer AGUE CONVENTION.

The omission of any direct reference to these most important con- ditions, which affect every material in- terost of the people and menace our po- litical system of government, deprives the league convention's enunciation of principles of what would have given it force and influence with the masses of the people and leaves it open to the icism of being little Smore than a functory declaration—sincere, doubt- as fac as it goes, but falling far short of what is needed to enable the re- publican party to recover what has been lost, less, THE MUSCATINE OUTRAGE, The outrage at Muscatine which re- sulted in the destruetion of the residences ol three prominent citizens, and which Jeopardized the lives of fiftecen women and children, is unpuralleled in the his- tory of the State of Towa and merits the soverest condemnation of all friends of humanity. The circumstances surround- ing the devlorable affair leave little doubt that it was deliberately planned and executed by an organized band of wretches actuated by an afrocious malignancy unconceivable in this age of enlightenment. The entire country will applaud the prompt meas- ures taken by the authorities of Musca- tine to forret out the perpetrators of the crime, and justice should not relax an effort until the guilty parties are pun- ished by the heaviest penalty fixed by law The responsibility for the outrage has, in the first outburst of indignation, been placed upon the saloon men. The three men whose homes were wrecked and whose families were attacked had been prominently identified with the efforts to enforce the prohibition laws. They had commenced action in the distriet court against the thirty-eight saloons of Muscatine and had succeeded only the day before in closing up six of them. It is just such outrages as these that interfere with the success of the offorts now being made by the business interests of Towa to wipe the obnoxious prohibi- tion laws from the statute books. Whether the saloon men are actually responsible for the outrage or not, the fact remains that the friends of prohibi- tion have been materially assisted by the news of the affair. If the saloon men are guilty they should be punished as severely as the law allows and others of their class should be made to feel that the business men of Iowa are not fight- ing prohibition in the personal interests of saloon keepers, but in the interests of the prosperity of the state.

In licu of this he would be satisfied with a Inerative foreign mission. But the fact appears to bo that notwithstanding all his excellent papers and endorsements, and his prominenco as a former demo- sratic candidate for congress, the presi- dent has become annoyed at his por- sistent hanging about Washington. The likelihood is, therefore, that the genial captain will return to the banana belt of his native state an exceedingly disap- pointed gentlem Tne determination of the administra, tion to appoint army oficers as Indian agents in lien of the sixty or move ecivil- ians hitherto occupying these positions, will prove a sore disappointment to the spoilsmen. But there is one place left ab these agencies that these fellows will try to work for all therve is in it. Indian traderships are not government appoint- ments.

Prussia holds '35 out of the 307 seats in the Reichstag. Its political power has always excited the jealousy of Bavaria and other German states; and this fesling was never stronger than it is now, when public opinion is massed in the southern states against the policy of Prussianizing Germany and depriving once autonomous kingdoms and duchies of their independence. A can- vass in which sectional issues will play an important part will be fraught with evil for united Germany. But that is not the chief source of danger. With increased density of population the number of urban districts,once small in comparison with the districts with- out large towns, is constantly rising; and in these strongholds of the working people socialism has become a political gospel of irresistible power. It is not improbable that the government will have to face a group of democrats in the next Reichsta and with the inereased prestige from a great victory in the main centers of population this party of agitation and social discontent will be organized for more effective cam- paigning in tho future, With the victorious liberalism of 1871 a discredited cause in 1503, and with socialism looming up as the main politicul force of Protestant Germany in the next generation, there is abundant eviaence that old things have passed away. Perhaps the newest and most verplexing thing in Old Kurope is Germany, with a mysterious leaven working in it and leavening the whole lump. i The latest incident’in conucetion with the dispute between Sweden and Norway proposal to refer the case to the arbity of & commission, the members of which are to be nommated by the presidents of the United States, France and Switzerland, and by the German emperor and the queen of ngland. The project is of Norwegian vigin, and it remains to bo seen whether King Oscar will regard it as consistent with his dignity as monarch of the two countrics to call upon foreign powers to determine a question which he as sovereign might justly claim alone to be eutitled to decide. Yet we-e he to consent to the proposal he would find in 1t weans of escape from ome of the most embarrassing situations which a ruler, hitherto renowned for his con- scientious compliunce with the terms of the constitutions of his two kingdoms, has ever been called upon to face. As the matter stands now, he has been forced by the res ation of the Steon or radical cabinet, and by its refusal to éontinue to administer the government of Novway, to contide the con- duct of the affairs of that nation to a minis- try formed by the cohservative leader Stang. The latter, however, eujoys the support of only o small minotity of the Norwegian Legislature, and. his teuure of power is therefore unconstibutional. But King Oscar had no alternative., The radical ministers refused to remain in power, the constituti does not provide for a dissolution of Parl ment or for an appeal to the country until the Legislature has completed its full term of existence—it hias still two years to run and she land couli¥ ot bé loft without & gov- ernment. 4 T * w M.
