PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S silence upon the question of tariff revision which he onee deemed of sufficient im- portance to have demanded the call of an extra session of congross not later than September is becoming ominous. Has the president changed his mind in relation to the relative importance of tariff tinkering? PEOPLE in the west will appreciate the trials and tribulations of the people of Virginia who arve threatened with an avalanche of populist orators from the halls of congress.

THE DODGE COUNTY SNAPPERS Fromont is the home of Judge Maxwoell and the abiding placo nso of J.

The en tare state will feol interestod in the outcome of tho struggle. The country manifosts con- siderable anxiety to hear from the state of Dodge.— State Journal, The anxicty of the country, which really means the anxiety of the corpora- tion mercenaries and public thieves, for whom the State Jowrnal is the mouth piece, been relieved. "The Dodge county snapper convention, called by a fragment of the county committee and packed by the help of railroad bosses, favored shippers and subsidized editors, has declared for Frick with a mighty shout and rip-roaring hurrah, Frick has about as much chance to bo struck by chain lightning in midwinter as ho has to bo made the candidate of the republican party for judge of the supreme court. Frick’s chief fugel-man and the candidate of the snapper con- vention do not themselves oxpect such honor. Their only purpose has been to discredit Judge Maxwell among the peo- pleof the state by protending that ho has been repudiated in his own home. Mr. Frick's mission has now been ful- filled, and he is entitled to a fat fee at the hands of the corporation managers for whom he had to play the despicable role of political assassin. There is no doubt that the war waged in Dodge county upon Judge Maxwell will have “an important bearing” upon the question as to who shall bs the next republican nomines for supreme judgo. The snapper convention has been a rov- elation to the republicans of Nebraska. It has unmasked a brace of arrant knaves and double-dealing hypocrites who have for several years past vannted party loyalty while cavrying a railroad dirk in their boots to play the bravo in dark political alleys where they could stab honest republicans from behind without exposure, Yes, indeed, the snapper convention will have an important bearing not only on the outcome of the present campaign, but upon the fortunes of the republican party in this state for years to come. The issue must and will be from now on whether the voice of the rank and file of the party shall be stifled and mcn who have reflected honor upon its name by their unimpeachable - con- duct shall bé turned down in disgrace at the behest of corporate monopoly. In Nebraska,as in New York,the work of snap conventions will be repudiated. The New York Tammany snappers were confident that they had squelched and snuffed out Grover Cleveland when they captured the state convention and ted a solid anti-Cleveland delegation to cast the vote of New York in Chicago. But the national democracy resentod this outrage and the snappers found themsclves stranded in hopeless minority. The same fate will overcome the republican snappers of Dodge county. The railroad republicans of the state of Dodge have been heard from. Will the republicans of the state of Nebraska who love their party and its time- honored principles more than they do corporation boodle follow their example? We do not believe that they will. nas THE U P. BRIDGE ARBITRARY, When the Union Pacific bridgo was char- tered congress gave that company the right t collect tolls for froighis and passengers over the bridge, and it has done so directly and indircetly. In the present case the r w Council Bluffs and its neighboriug city is the same from the cass, the bridge toll be- tween the Lwo cities being paid by the Towa railrond companies. This is a discrimina- tion of at least $12 per carload of tvelve tons against Council Bluffs on'a #0-cent rate. To offset this Council Bluffs is allowed the bridge toll free on its local westbound freight the Union Pacific to points boyond the At this rate, as the proportions now stand, the Towa railroads get 30 cents flat to Coun- cil Bluffsand 25 cents net to Omaha, the bulance of the vate to Omaha being paid by the fowa lines for the toll over the bridge between tho twocities. This is done by au- thority of congress chartering the briage, and it has never been claimed herctofore that the Cullom bill nullified the charter of the Union Pa brid Tho Interstate Jommerce commission can readily see that in common fairness the rato can bs made 25 cents to Council Bluffs from eastern points, and 80 conts to Omaha from thesame places On westbound shipments from Councii BlufTs the briage toll could beadded to oquaiize the B0-cent rate to Omaha, placing the two cities upon an equal footing.—ouncil Blufls Non- pareil. No intelligent railroad man in country conversant with the facts sustain the position taken pareil. The simple truth is that nine years ugo an undevstanding was arrived at be- tween the Union Pacific, Missousi Pa- cifie and all the lines counscting with the former at Council Bluffs by which all rates were to be so adjusted that abso- lutely no diserimination would exist in favor of or against either of these cities in t and west bound traflie. In other words, inall matters of fraight transportation they were to be one city us fully and as complotely as if there were no river betwoen them, This understanding has been carried out in all respects except as to the local torritory lying between the Missouri river and the Mississippi river eommon points. Council Blufls dealovs saw that they were to get their in-shipments from both directions at the samo cost Omaha; that they wero to have Omaha's local territory west of the Missouri thrown open to them without the pa, ent of bridge chavges, and they also saw that if they eould induce the lowa rouds to break the agreement by com- pelling Omuaha merchants to pay the bridge arbitrary to reach the local traae of lowa they would have & practi- eal monopoly of that trade as against Omaha, while boing admitted to the latter's torvitory on terms of equalit, They succecded with the Iowa roads in estublishing this unjust and illegal dis- crimination against Omaba, which the will by the Non- been endured too long. As the business | in question is wholly interstate, wholly within the jurisdiction of the interstate commission and governed by the provi- sions of the intorstate law aguinst all unjust disoriminations, Congressman properly concluded to seek relief throngh the tribunal having jurisdic- tion over interstate raflroad traffic. This is no attempt to injure Council Bluffs or to place that town at a disad- vantage, but simply an effort to give Omaha the same privileges east of the Missouri that Council Blufts has for years been enjoying wost of the Missouri. CALIFORNIA DAY, California has a double celebration today. Tt is the anniversary of her ad- mission to the union forty-three yoars ago and it will be celobrated throughout the state with appropriate exercises, and doubtless with an abundant mani- fostation of popular enthusiasm, for Cal- ifornians do not do things by halves. It is also California day at tho Columbian oxposition, and while the attendance of people from the Golden state will doubt- less not be so large as that from of the other less distant states that have had their day, the Californians at Chicago will more than make up for the deficiency in numboers by their liborality. One of the most at- tractive displays at the fair is made by California, and today ten carloads of fruit from that state will be distributed to those who visit the state building. The American people are proud of California, whose acquisition to the r public was one of the most valuable ever made and whose development has added untold wealth to tho nation. California wus admitted to the union September 9, 1850, In 1847 John Fremont and Commodore Stockton drove the Mexican forees out of that country, and in 1819 a constitution was framed and ratified by the people. Gold had previously been discovered in February, 1848, inducing a tremendous rush of neople into the tervitory from all parts of tho country, so that within a few years there was added to the population 250,000 men of the most cnergetic and daring character. The early history of California is a record of lawlessness and crime almost without a parallel, but it is also a history of extraordinary energy and endurance on the part of most of those who went there in search of the vellow metal. Very fow of earlier gold seekers achioved they hoped for, though some of them laid the foundations of enormous for- tunes. The great majority, however, failed, after experiencing the severest hardships and privations. and of thos who will today celebrate the anni- versary of the statehood of California very few can claim among their ances- try the men who went there im- mediately after the discovary of gold. California is a magnificent state in area and in resourd She is the larg- est state in the union copt Toxas, having 158,360 square miles. Her mineral and agricultural re- sources have increased the wealth of the country by hundreds of millions of dollars, and” the development of the state, 80 fur as its agricultural capabili- ties are concerncd, is as yet in its infancy. A great deal irriga- tion is necossary, and this is being steadily extended with most beneficial results. According 10 the last census California had a population of & little over 1,200,000, Her people are distin- guished for theirliberality and public t, and on the whole there is no more ting state in the union and none with a more remarkable history. s0mo e ChD MONOPOLY. »nt administration has bee in power six months and thus far noth- ing bas been done to enforce the law against trusts and combinations in re- straint of trade and for controlling pro- duction and pric In this respect the administration has disappointed public xpectation. The national platform of the democracy is unequivocal in its de nunciation of trusts, It demands the rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and control these combinatiol Stogot with such further le islation in restraint of their abuses as experience may show to be necessary.” President Cleveland in- dicated in his inaugural address that he was in full sympathy with the plat- form enunciation. He said: istence of immense aggregations of kindred enterprises and combinations of business interests, formed for the pur- pose of limiting production and fixing prices, is inconsistent with the fair field which oughtto be open to every inde- | pendent activity. Legitimate strife in business should not be super- d by an enforced concession to the demands of combinations that have the power to destroy, nor should the people to be served | the benefit of cheapness which usually results from wholesome competition. These aggregations and combina- tions frequently constitute conspiracies aguinst the interests of the people, and in all their phases they are unnatural and opposed to our American sense of fairness. To the extent that they can he be reached and restrained by fedoral power, the general government should elieve our citizens from their interfor- ence and exactions.” This utterance of the presid approved by the people, irrespective of politics, and it was pted as an assur- ance that the administration would no time in taki stops to determine how far the general govern- ment could, under existing law, relieve the people from the interference and ox actions of monopoly. It was veported several months ago that an effort was to be made o carry out the demand of the platiorm and the promise of the president. The stat | ment was made that the department ot justico was preparing to test the anti- trust law by instituting proceedings aguinst several of the combinations. The public was given to understand that it was the settled purpose of the authorities at Washing- ton o this with as little | delay as possible after the reorganiza- tion of the department. The impression conveyed was that the president and the | attorney goneral, and indeod all the mem- bes of tne administration, were anxious to enforce the law against trusts and combinations just as soon as it was prac- ticable to do so. Yet, after six months not a single step has been taken, so far as the public knows, to interfere with the operations of existing trusts or to do Moreor and Commissioner Ut have very | put any check uppm tho growth of this class of monopelga The combinations flourish today with as much freedom as atany time, and dfghe trust monopoly is not growing now—as rapidly as fo merly it is becaljsg, the fleld is almost fully oceupied or phe conditions favoring such combinationsare less favorablo than formerly. So faras known%he adequacy of the anti-trust law is not questioned.

There are some otherwise sensible people in this city who boliove that Omaha would derive incalculable benefit from the freo udvertising which she would get through an Omaha day at the World's fair. he fact is that the announcement of the reopening of the American National bank is a better ad- vertisement for Omaha than a dozen Omaha days at the fair would be. Omahu is not to be built upby children’s processions and the blare of trumy What she needs is the advertisement of substantial progress, enlarged com- merce, increased bank clearings, new enterprises that give employment to labor and stimulate industrial activity. In other words, Omaha must advertise herself by doing something that will draw capital and infuse confidenco in her future greatness among investors.

Foremost among the moasures in tho program arranged by Mr. Gladstone is a bill to facilitate rogistration, which would greatly Increaso the voting strength of the workingmen. Another important roform affocting the franchise is the proposal to abolish plural voting. The measure to bostow considerable power of local govorn ment upon parish councils, thoreby trans forring the management of their loeal con corns from the landlords to the tenantry, is of the utmost importance to the government by reason of its bearing on the Knglisn con stituoncies. To th may be added an eight-hour law, demanded by the miners of orthumberland and Durham; bub it is more doubtful whether a provision for local option to pormit or prohibit the liguor trafc will be submitted. Tt may not be expediont at this moment to incite the nostility of the liquor intercsts, 1t is cor tain that each and every ono of these ures. or such of them as may pass the Houso of Commons, would bo rejected by the upper chamber, as itis cortain that that venerablo and useloss body will reject the home rule bill. This 1s just what the liberals desire. Added to the recent throw ing out by the lords of the bill enlarging the powers of the London county councils, the tion of all of theso mensures demanded arious sections of the democracy would furnish matter for an offectiy ment of the hercditary legislator: solution following undor the reumstances would be succeeded by a campaign conductod with a vigor and earnestness not witnessed in the British islands during many years, meas. Although the Storthing has adjourned for its customary autumn vacation, there are no indications of any decline of the animosity betwoen Norway and Sweden. On the eon- 'y, matters are going from bid to worse and the nationalist leadors in Christiania, in cluding the cabinet ministors who have just quitted offico, now openly admit that thoi demands for consular and diplomatic ropre sentation, distinct from that of Sweden must not be regarded as a final obj definite aim, but merely as one of the means for bringing about the completo dissolution of the union between tho two countries. At the rocent international labor congress at irich, stross was laid on the probabitity of outbrenk of a civil war betwoen ud Sweden in‘the debate on the sub Ject of un universal military strike,and while the Storthing has refused to vote the Nor wegian quota of the civil list payable to King Oscar and to the crown prince, it has voted withuut any hesitation a large subsid to the National Schuetzen and Rifle associa- tion in view of the approaching struggle. All King Osenr’s offorts to bring about a compromise have failed, a fact attributable not alone to tho determination of the Nor- wegians to sunder the bonds that unite them to the sister kingdom, but also to the equally tivm resolve of the Swedes to pre- vent by force of arms, if necessary, separa- tion in any form. ‘The situation has become intolerable and it is doubtful whother King Oscar will be able to prevent either a con- flict between his two kingdoms or u revolu- tion and proclamation: of a republic at Chris tianin during the twelve months that must yet elapse before the expiration of the pr ent Storthing, which cannot constitutionally be either prorogued or dissolved by the sovereign. Unquestionably, the retention of Mevz was, as Von Moltke described it, an indispensable condition of the security of Germany, and, 50 long us the Germans kepu 1t, they may look upon tho Rhine as safe. All tho re- sourcos of modern engineermnz have been taxed to make tho fortress impregnable, and, no doubt, as Kaiser William 11 re- viewed his legions under its walls, he ex- ulted in the belief that Motz would never be- come French again. Yot if there is one lesson that history is never weary of re- peating, it is thata preponderance of nam- bors is no guaranty of s in war, and that no country, however superior in re- pute is its military system, can hope to re- tain & monopoly of military genius. Should the long-oxpected contest with the ‘riple Alliance break out to- morrow, Fran oven although Rus- sin should hold aloof, would be less outweighed in point of numerical strength than was the first French republic when she sent Hoche and Moreau to the Rbine and Bonaparte to leaa the ragged horde that calted itself the Avmy of Italy. Von Moltke was a ereat organizer, tactician ana strategist, but he was not superior. if equal, in these respects to Frederick the Great; and the systom of organization and tactics which 1 hislegacy to his compatriots may be destined to the fate of that which was pulverized at Auerstadt and at Jena, 1f anything has been taught us by the French vevolution it s that republican institutions are incomparably more favorablo than those of a monarchy to the discovery and prompy atilization of remazkable military tulent, The figures which snow the increase of strength in armed men at the disposal of the contiental powers are startling. In a recent pamphlet collated from official sources and entitled, “Puissance Militaire des Etats de I'Burope,” by Captain Mollard of the Military school of St. Cyr, the numerical strength in 1857 of the mobilized armies of Europe is given as follows: Franco. . C nany . Russia. Austria-Hungary . Italy... 5 570,000 The total effective force of all tho armies of Burope at that time is placed at 6,958,000 men. By the year 1802 tho abovo figures had been increased to the following: Fri + 2,500,000 Russia ... 461,000 Germany .. 417,000 Ttaly srsssssasss . 1,614,000 Austria-Hungary ... ~ 1,050,000 With a total military force for all Europe amounting to 12,563,000 men, Cantain Mol- lard estimates that when the new military Laws shall bave been brought into full opera- tion Germany will have an effective mobil ized strength of 5,000,000 m France, 4,85), 000; Russia, 4,000,000; Ttaly, 2.233,000; Aus tria-Hungary, 1,000,000, and all Burope the stupendous total of 22,445,000 men uud arms.
