Is it not manifest to everybody that the big numbors are a delusion and a snare concocted by eommitteemen who got their inspiration at railroad headquar- ters with the sole view of packing the convention with proxies, or, if it suits bettor, to voto the absontees themselves, and thus carry things their own way? Oh, yes, thero is safoty in num- bors, but it is the safety of the corpora- tions and not the safety of the republican party. able. is SENATE FiLIBUSIERING Although the advocates of free silver in tho senato admit they are in the mi- nority, und it must be apparent to them also thht the great majority of the peo- ple are against them, they yet avow their determination to uso overy method permissable under the rules and practico of the senate to prevent the passage of the vepeal bill, unless they can obtain some concession or com- promise. It is stated that western and southern senators are daily receiv- ing appeals from their people for speedy action and urging them to vote for vepeal, and the hope is indulged that these appeals will induce senators representing states not bound up with silver mines to sur- render their individual judgmeng, or at least refrain from uniting with those who ave disposed to prevent action by a resort 1 dilatory methods. It appoars that the y ent hope of the silver sena- tors is that the improving financial con- dition will aliay the popular demand for a change of policy regarding silver and cnable them to sccure some sort of a compromise, but they are nursing a do- lusion if they fancy that the peoplo will now be satisfied with anything short of the absolute disconvinuance of silver purchases. The vote for repeal in the house represented over 41,000,000 of the population of the country, while the op- position stood for less than 19,000,000, Thore can be no doubt that fully two- thirds of tho Amevican people believe that the silver purchase law ought to be repealed, and for those who represent hird to attempt to prevent this by a ¢ of obstruction which ought not to srated in any legilative body is an outrage that cannot be TRk If the silver senators program they have annou renew, with much greater forco than cever before, the popular demand for s radical departure from the so-called “senatorial courtesy,” which allows the largest’ latitude to filibustering. The lax rules and practice of the senate in this respect have been for years con- demned by the intelligent public opinion of the country, and the object lesson which the country is now having in the course of the silver senators, if carried to the extremity they threaten, cannot fail to cause such a general ‘demand for v change as the senate will not dare to disregard. It is obviously a serious evil in our leg o system which permits a small minority of senators to block the way to urgently needed legiss lation, and perhaps to defeat it, and the sooner the evil is eradicated the better it will be for the interests and welfare of the eountry. Nobody will object to fair and reasonable discussion, but when this has been had and all sides have been given a hearing, to .continuoe debate simply for the purpose of delay and ob- struction, is inexcusable awd is at vari- ance with the principle of free in- stitutions, that the will of the majority shall prevail, URGENT PROBLEM, United States treasury ith the danger of a he The last monthly stat most unfavorable for many ye ing Angust the was a dec cash balance of the treasury of $10,000,000, Thero wa rgo decline in the receipts for that month eomparod with the ponding month of last year. Tn customs the loss wus 56,000,000 and in internal revenue 10,000, While the receipts of the treasury wore reduced, the expenditures of the gavern- ment considerably move last month than in August, 1802, Comparing July and August of this year with the corresponding months of last year, the fig- ures for the former period show a de- cline in receipts of 813,000,000 and an fn- crease dn expenditures of 83,000,000, or practically a net reduction to the treasury for the first two months of the current fisesl year compared with the sume months of the year preceding of #18,000,000, These figures show that the treasury shares in the general distr ineident to the present abnormal cond tion of affairs, and whether the extraor- dinary difference between the receipts and expoenditures is to continue during the remaining ten months of the fiscal year will depend upon the setion of eon- gress on pending and proposed legisla- tion, The fact Is recognized that the announcement that the tariff is to be revised will have a depressing eflect upon the importation of merchan- dise and cause a marked reduction in custom receipts compared with those of thoe past threa years, At the same time there can bo no iwprovement expected ANOTHE is con- vy de- ent is the Dui- caso in the v, 0! corre vere THE OMAHA In the receipts from internal revenue so long as the general depression in busic ness continues. Meanwhile, there is no decrense in expenditures. Obviously, the outlook for the treasury is very unsatisfactory, and something will have to ‘be donme by congress to enable the government t0 meet its obligations. The problem as to what is best to be done not free from difficulties. Several plans have been proposed, but none of them has been received with general ap- proval. In his speech in the senate Jast Wednesday Senator Sherman said in re- gard to the proposal to coin the surplus silver bullion in the treasury—that is, the amount which stands for the seign- iorage or profit of the government—that he would andoubtedly coin it and use it, if necessary, for the ordinary operatons of the government to prevent a defi- cieney, or for any purpose that it might be lawfully coined. There does not ap- pear to be any sound objection to this plan, and at any rate it would be vastly better than issuing United States notes, which, as Mr. Sher- man said, would be like setting a match to powder, and would rather increase and bring about the danger which threatens us from an excess of paper currency. Another measure of relief n bo found in the issue of gold bonds, which would serve the double purpose of giving the treasury needed relief and maintaining the parity of all our cur- rency: but the administration, and prob- ably a majority of the democrats in con- gress, are not disposed to consider a pro- posal to add to the public debt in this way. Of course, the treasury will con- tinue solvent so long as it has the gold redemption reserve to draw upon; but, inasmuch as that reserve now sustains the parity of our mony, it might prove to be a so- rious mistake to exhaust it, The condi- tion of the treasury demands early at- tention from congress and some measure of relief that will be comprehensive in its operation. The credit of the govern- ment must not bo jeopardized by com- pelling it to defdulton any of its obliga- tions. is THE 10WA CAMPAIGN, Both parties in Towa are preparing to prosceute a vigorous campaign, and within the next ten days the fight will have opened all along the line. The canvass promises to be sufliciently excit- ing for the people of that state and to command a good deal of interest gen- erally. It will not be conducted altogether upon the local issue which las been predominant in state elections for a number of years and on which a democratic governor was chosen in the last two elections. Both the republican and the democratic parties are now arrayed against prohibition as a state policy, the difference between them being simply as to methods of reg- ulating the liquor traffic. The success of either should bo the end of prohi- bition in Towa and the beginning of a practicable and common sense regula- tion of the liquor traffic, if a platform pledge is good for anything. This being so, national questions will command a Jarge measure of considera- tion during the campaign, and in the discussion of these the republicans will have an advantage. The condition of the country after six months of demo- cratic administration has very greatly impaired the claims of that party to popular confidence. When a democratic congress and president wero elected last November there was activity in every department of business, there was no marked evidence of financial distrust, and prosperity lwas general. During the year preceding that election the foreign and internal commerce of the country was the largest in our history ana there had been an extraordinary growth of industrial enterprises. Very shortly after the result of the election was known a reaction set in. A lossof finan- cial confidence began to be manifested and steadily grew. A contraction of credits and foreed liquidation brouglif about an almost unprecedented num- ber of failures. Popular distrust of the banks induced tens of thous- ands of people to withdraw their deposits, thereby taking out of active, emplovment, according to careful esti- mates, nearly $200,000,000. Manufae- turers, apprehending a radical change in tho fiscal policy of the government, greatly curtailed their operations or stopped production altogether, throwing anarmy of labor out of employment. Quickly following the advent of the democratic administration to power de- pression became general. This is the condition now, and while there are indications of improvement, there cannot be a resumption of business activity and prosperity until the industrial interests of the country know what a democratic congress will do with the tariff. The people of Towa have suffered oqually with those of other states from this condition of affairs, and it seems entively safe to pro- dict that a majority of them are not now and will not be in November dis- vosed to indorse the party under whose administration distrust and depression have become widespread and the busi- ness of the country has suffered general pavalysis, The republicans of Towa should have another advantage in the thivd-torm candidacy of Governor Boies, Third- term candidates for executivo office have been rare and have al- most uniformly been condemned by the action of the people. Boies himself is on record in disapproval of thirvd terms nothing could be plainer than that he accepted a second nomination in order to subserve his ambition to go to the United States senate. He surrendered his eonscience to the desire for political advancement, and no democrat of the Jeffersonian school can consistently sup- port him under such circumstances, for Jefferson bolieved that a mun should not have more than two consecutive terms in any executive office. Iu addition to these eonsiderations is the fact that Towa is normally & republican state. Last No- vember there were cast 219,685 repuclican votes and 196,303 demooratio votes, giv- ing Harrison u plurality o Thore is every reason to believe that the ve- publicans have sinco gained, and if they wake the coming campaign as vigorous and uggressive as they promise to do, DAILY BE E: TUESDAY, they onght to poll a larger vote next November than they did last. Of conrso, some account neods to be taken of the new political moveffient in the interest of prohibition, bif) this does not threaten 10 be particularly tormidable, and atany rato it will probably draw almost as largoly from the democrats as from the republicans. T4 AN IMPRESSIVE ) NSTRATION. The parade of Qmgha workingmen fn horor of Labor dgy ,wae an impressive demonstration. (b, was a tangible ex- hibit of the numerical strength of the industrial army that constitutes the backbone of Omaha, and it enables us to realize more Yhan ever the magni- tude of the diversified handicrafts now permanently established -in this city. While all our manufactures are still in their infanoy, we can truthfully boast that no city west of the Missouri, with a possible exception of San Francisco, can mateh us in the number of artsians who are steadily employed in our mills, fac- tories and packing houses. Another lesson taught by the labor procession is derived from the orderly manner in which the bread winners con- ducted their aemonstration and the total absence of red flag anarchy among their ranks. Tt goes without saying that no great city can exist without steady aad’| for ""S\N“‘“""fillu!wfl by. remunerative employment for skilled labor required in many ‘branches of in- dustry, and the growth of a city is in ratio with its capacity to afford such em- ployment. This must be the key noto of Omaha's future growth and prosperity. Weo want more mills, more factories, more packing houses and more well paid working men who own their own homes inour midst. On the other hand the working men must in the future, as in the past, strive to maintain their own self-respect and to elovate the moral and material plane of the working man's conduct. If this lesson is taught by the exercises oi Labor "day, and employer and employed learn mutually to ap- preciate each other; weo shall have taken a long step forward in the direction of social reform. THE national encampment of the Grand Army at Indianapolis this year cunnot but feel the effects of the recent financial troubles, as also of the counter attraction-in tho World's fair in Chi- cago. As a conscquence, tho next an- nual reunion will assume much greater importance than would otherwise bo the case. It is all the more to be regretted that Lincoln has pulled out of the race for the encampment of 1894, but this must be charged to the railroad, which refused to co-operate with the Lincoln committee. ‘ MAYOR BEewMmIS, feels very confident that when the 30,000:school children of Omaha siga a petitidn that they want to 20 to Chicago to see the World's fair at, the expense of the public that Rosewater will join in and sjgn the petition. When the 30,000 children have signed that pe- tition, the petition will only be signed by 30,000 children. It would be just as ecasy to get those children to sign a peti- tion to send the lidnorable mayor to Da- homey or make George Francis Train_ king of the Cannibal Islands. THE tools and 'the cranks within the populist state convention will shout for a straight nomination and the decoys will get their work in 50 as to nominate aman who will be satisfactory to the railroads. That is the program for which Edgerton and several other dou- ble-enders from Douglas county have been engaged, and the same tune will be sung by the Lancaster county bogus anti-monopolists.

The esumate of the wheat e.cp of the world made by the Hun- Farian miuister of agricultirs, which by just been made publie, places the total world's product of wheat this year at 270,000,000 busbels, againsy vhe pficial nver- age of 2,280,000,000 bushels for each of the | past ten years, The deficit in the differeut SEVIEMBER 5, 1893, European countries is estimated as follows: Great Rriwnin, 184,497 000, ¥ 000; German, Netherlands, X - 000; +Bolgium, 24,118,000; Donmark, 3,088, 000; Norwas and Swedon, 2,270,000 ; Spain, 8.512,000; Portugal, 0.675,000; Greoce, 7,877, 000; Austrin, 89,725,000, To meet this deficit the ing countries will bo callod upon to export 000,000 bushels. Tho surplus in the ferent exporting countries is estimated as follows: United States, 60.515,000; Russia, 3 Hungary 00,000; Roumania, 84,050,000: Turkey 000 Hulgaria, 10, TS2000; Servia, 44%,000; Canada, 9,931,000 India, 42.502,000; Asia, 7.093,000; Austr 10,205,000; Argonitine, 36,105,005 Chili, 6,526, 000. The cheering promise is held out to the American farmer who has not disposed of his wheat crop that high prices for wheat are likely to rulo in_the near future, and in addition it is reasonably sure that there will be a heavy demand for Indian corn, oats and barlay in consequence of the destruction of fodder in Europo by the drouth, ——— Bury the Wires, Phitadelphia Times, Two deaths from accidental contact with electric lighting wires are reported today, onein tho northern part of Philadelphia, the other in Camden. 1n the latter case the wire had fallen in the storm, and a citizen 0ing to work took hold of it to removo it rom his path and was instantly kitled by the shock. Inthe other case a telephone wire crossing an arc-light wire produced the same result, In New (’nrk a team of horses were killed by a fallen wire, the ariver nar- rowly escaping doath. And still we go on stringing these deadly wires along tho stroets, where any violent storm may blow them down to become traps Such a dan- ger would be a high price to pay for electric lighting if it were necessary; as 1t is not necessary, it ought not to be endured. Not only is it possible to conduct all these heavily charged wires beneath the pavement, but the work has been undertaken in somo streets and carried out with the bost results, Why not in a1l? It will take some time, of course, but it is absurd to allow new poles and overhead wires all over town, not only in the face of the city’s own ordinances, but in the face of common sense. These danger- ous wires must be buried. —_— Tommy Powers Will Do. San Franciseo Chroniele. The state of Montana is likely to haye only 4 half representation in the United States senate for another year or so, as the finan- cial conditions are such as to demand ex- tremo economy on the part of the state gov- ernment. There is u strong objection to con- vening the legislature in extra session, and unless that is done Montana will onty have one senator. Wyowing and Washington are in the same fix. Perhaps the decision of the senate will teach future legislatures of the states roferred to that it is better to agroe upon some one vhan to wrangle and ar- rive at no choice. e PEOPLE AND THINGS.

St. Paul Globe: The peoplo of Ireland are to be congratulated on the momentous action of yesterday in the Commons. Not all that the most radical Trish leaders havo demanded is embodied in this measure, nor was it possible that all could be granted them at the present jun-turo. More may be wamed in the future, but a vast deal is now offered them from the hands of the liberal party of England.
