In view of the fact that Governor Boies accepted asecond renom- ination within three weeks after he bad made public declaration that he was conscientiouscly opposed to a third term, and it 15 understood that he was induced to thus stultify himself in furtherance of his ambition to reach the United States son- ate, s not the governor fairly to bo garded as a politician sol¢ n the spoils of offico?

Its tendencey is to contiem the view of those 'who assert that there is no in politics, Governor Boies is uneandid in his ref- erenco to the tavitl issue. His im plica- tion that the effect of protection is to increase prices of manufactured pro- ducts will not bear the test of investiza- tion. Il he has over read the report of the senate committee that investigated the operation of protection on the prices of goads and of labor, of which commit- tee the present seerotary of the treasury waas & member and signed tho repor knows that the genoral offect has to lower the prices of manu- fuctured articles and to increaso the wages of labor.

As a consequence of such competition we should have idle mills and sum of invested and only in the we should factories everywhere, o vast sapital earning nothing three-fourths of the labor now prote Governor Boies professes to believe that it will make no difference with the demoeratic congress what the verdict of the voters of lowa shall be in Novembar; that the tariff issue was settled for the present at last fall's and the hosen is bound in honor to carry ffoct the will of the peoplo then expressed. On the con- trary, there is reason to holiove that a republican victory in lowa this fall might exe a very decided in- flucuce at Washington. thing it would certainly acpmplish, and that is that it would bring to an end the politi- cal career of Governor Boioes. What the governor says about silver question is not important. He talks about the act of 1873 us having de- monetized silver, although itdid nothing of the kind, and ¢ cterizos that legis- lation as “a colossal national crime,” which, in connoction with other utter- ances, shows him to ba in favor of the free coinage of silver and thersfore not in sympathy with the administration and a majority of the representatives of his party in congross. Reforring to the financial distrust and business depres- sion, now happily passing away, Gov- ernor Boies, of course, esents the assumption that the democratic party is in any degree responsible for thess conditions; but what did the president mean in his moessage to congross he admonished the capital and the conntry not to indul fears if it not an ment that demoeratic ascendancy bad created these fears? Certainly there was no indication of them bofore last ovember, Boies doubtless thought he was making a point in stating the fact there was o large surplus the treasury at the eclo: of Cleveland's administration, n. which had disappeared at the end of Harrison's administration, but he was 1ot honest enough to explain why this was so. e did not tell the Towa Gemo- crats that it was the policy of the first Cleveland administration to nurse the surplus for political effect and tnat it was only under a great pressure for money that the secretavies of the treasury un- der that admumistration could ba in- dueed to let go any part of the surplus in the redomption of bnds. They pre- ferved putting the money in the national banks, where iv wouid still show as a part of the alarming and dangzerous sur- plus against which there most persistent democratic outery. The Har dministration redeemed bonds and put the momey in circulation, interest to the ublican eongress mada vision for extending and im- proving the postal sorvice, which had deterioratod under the democratic ad- ministration; for enlarging tho navy, of which every patriotic Amorican citi- zen is now proud, and for other legiti mate purposes which have greatly bene- fited the country. The republican party did what the democrasy had for years insisted should be done. Tt returned the surplus money in the treasury to the peo- ple and Governor Boies or any other democrat may safoly be challenged to show where a dollar of it was unwisely pended. Governor Boies has a hard campaign before him. The conditions this year are unfavorable to demoeratic suce It is well understood that he 1s playing for a higher prize than the governor- ship: that his ambition is to figure in national affairs.

Dr. Miller's lettorson the projected Platte river canal have attracted public interest ina project that promises to supply Omaha with cheap motor power for manufs and the operation of vieal rouds between this city and suburban towns, The schemo is believed to bo practicablo and meets with popu- lar favor. The only questions are, who is to build the canal, who is to own it ud what do the promoters of the en- terprise dosire at the hands of this city and county? It is entirely unnecessary to keep on writing about elcetrical evolution and the uses to which clectrieity is to be ap- plied. The majority of intelligent, nowspaper-roading poople realize fully that clectrie power will in the near fu- ture revolutionize industry and commer clal intercourso. What the citizens of Omaha now want to know is on what torms tho canal can be had; what its di- mensions will bo: where it will begin and terminate; how much power they will guarantee to furnish and at what minimum cost, In other words, the people of Omaha want to know how much aid they will be askod to vote, when tho boinds are to be delivered and what obligations the canal company proposes to assume, "HE BEE is decidedly in favor of the cenal project, as always been in favor of every improvement, but it doos not believe in buying & pig in a poke.

Their experience has beon very costly and we do not want o see it repeated. I'he canal should by all means be bullt, either by private enterprise, supported elec we crease of our EPTEMBER 12, 1893, by subsidy, or by she oity and county jointly out of the freadeeds of bonds. 1t the subsidy is to ;build the canal, then the canal might #s well be owned by the community and dpéfated in the interest of the community, Jf private capital is willing to assumesthe, risk and advance the money to build the canal, the county and city should vote liberal aid to the enterprise under 'conditions that will protect the public,in, general and the patrons of the company in particular, THERE will meet in Washing day a convention eomposed of delogates from the boards of trude and chambers of commerce of thé country., It is ex- pected that the attendance of reprosent- ive business men from all sections will be very large, and sucha convention can hardly fail to exert an influence. 1ts object is to tho financial and business situation, with especial refor- ence t) inducing the senate to tak early action on the silvor bill now before that body.
