THERE will doubtless be more patron- ¢ than patriotism at stake in the dem- ocratic state convention this week. REPORTS of hazing fatalitios may now be expeeted from all the numorous progressive colleges of the country. MR. THOLDRE had his ear to the telephone while the republican county convention was in session yesterday. THE Maxwell column has grown sev- eral feet in the last twenty-four hours, and now looms up pretty nearly as high a8 the Washington monument. Poru 'ic sympathy for the tender feelings of the chain gang ought to make the thivd party popular with the men who are frequent defendants in the police court. THE lawyer who boasts that he has ““two fellows” on the supreme bench to take care of his cases ought to bo satis- fled. Does John L. Webster want the earth? IN ENDEAVORING to compromise their differences on the silver question the United States senators should not make the mistake of compromising the busi- ness interests of the count; THOSE society leaders who pandered 80 delightfully to the sultan of Johore will feel themselves all the more highly honored now that he has become the prineipal in a breach of promise suit. —_— ANY ONE reading the platform of the local populists must come to the inevit- able conclusion that the people’s party has threo representatives from Ne- braska in the lower house of congress. —_— WHAT a great spectacle it will bo for the republicans in the state convention to have the chief attorney of the im- peached officials directing his orator- ical powers to turn down Judge Max- well, WILL Pregident Cleveland be inde- pendent enough to withstand the de. mand of the democratic nowspapors that he withdraws the nomination of Mr, Van Alen a5 ambassador to Ttaly? That is the I+t question. THE county democrats have nominated a ticket that is considerably above the average in point of respect, ability and compotency. It now behooves the re- publicans of this county to overmatch them if they want to make sure of suc- cess this fall, —_— JOHN L.WEBSTER ought to feel pretty cheap when he has to crawl on his belly to pull himself through the Second ward knot hole into the state convention after he was fairly and squarely defeated in his own (the Fourth) ward, with all the machinery of the ward in his own favor, SENATOR MORGAN still retains the £00d 0ld ante-bellum doctrine of sover- eign states represented in the United Statos senate by ambassadors responsi- blo to no ono but the body by whom they are sent. Has the lesson of the war had 80 little effect on the states rights men of the south? ANOTHER offort will be made during the prosent session f congross to secure an appropriation t) reimburse the ‘state of Nebraska for the money expended in the Pine Ridge Indian campaign. The Nebraska troops were noeded and the governmont should be prompt in reim- bursing the state, —— WHAT a pity that the Burlingtor officials cannot ascribe the decrease of 8245,000 in August earnings as com- pared with Augustof last year to the disastrous working of the maximum freight rate law! Perhaps in the exper- iment with the enforcement of the new law they may discover in it a means of bringing their net earnings back to nor- mal figures, NERRASKA,is not alone in complaining about the false light thrown upon the banking institutions by the recent state- ment of the comptroller of the currency woncerning state bank failures. The comptroller will do well to accept the offer of the state banking board to sup- ply him with whatever information he may require in respect to the condition and operation of the banks organized under the Nebraska state law, v LAST MONTH OF THE PAIR Tt the deeision of the World's fair authorities is adhered 1o, as it probably will be, that great enterprise will finally elosed on October 31. Effort is still being made to induce the commis- sioners to continue the exposition, the principal plea being that nearly or quite nine-tenths of the poople of the country have not seen it; but while this reason for an extension certsinly does not lack impressiveness, it is outweighed by other practical considerations. It is highly improbable thatany considerable num- ber of people from remoto parts of the country would v the fair after the period of inclom- ent weather begins, and there is strong reason for believing that the at- tendanco after this month would not be sufficient to pay the running expenses It would be sary to provide for warming the buildings, which, if en- irely practicable, could he done only at great cost. Then there are many of the exhibits, some of thom the most attrac- tive, that could not remain, These and other obvious considerations of a practi- cal nature make with such force against the proposal to continue the exposition into the winter that it is not at all prob- able the commissicners can be induced to change their decision to elose the at the appointed time. An interesting and rathor perplexing question in connection with the winding up of this great enterpriso relates to the isposition to be made of the buildings. The idea at the incoption of the under- taking was that the structures might be a valuable assot, but it is now appre- hended that instead of being a resource they may entail a heavy expense for their removal. The fair corporation gave a bond to the park commissionors in $100,000 to insure the tearing down of the buildings and the restoration of the grounds to their original condition, and it is said tho commissioners are now fearful that this bond will be forfeited and the buildings allowed to stand, sub- ject to the action of the park au- thorities. In that case the tax payers of Chicago would be called upon to provide for anothor large expendi- ture. The buildings cost about $19,000,- 000. Yet no one has been found willing to 1 a bid for the contract of tearing them down on individual account, and there appoars to be no way of disposing of them that would be of any advan to the c As s00n as the gates ave closed and the exhibits withdrawn theso great white monuments to a nation’s enterprise and liberality, these splendio examples of architectural skill and in- gonuity, must become, it scems, a vast incubus to worry and fret the authorities of Chicago indefinitely and to make a further heavy demand upon the revenues of the city. That the buildings will have to come down there is no question. The problem is as to what shall bo done with the great mass of ma- terial, much of which is usel for any other purpose than that to which it has been applied. It has been suggested that the “‘white palaces” be kept stand- ing for a national exposition in 1900, but it is doubtful whether they could be kept in condition during seven years for sueh a purpose. They would hardly withstand the storms of summer and the blasts of winter for such a time. It is now settled beyona all bt that the exposition cannot be a financial sue- ces Up to this time the paid admis- sions have been about 14,500,000, By the close of October they will possibly reach 18,000,000. This will fall fully 12,000,000 below the aumber expected when the fair opened, and which it was estimated would be 1 t> mak the enterprise a financial succ what oxtent it has been suc object lesson in the practi and artistic achievemont of the world is perhaps a debatable question. That it has in a pre-eminent degreo demon- strated the enterprise, the energy and the liberality of the American people no one will attempt to gainsay. By far the most stupendous undertaking of the kind in the world's history, it will doubtless bo generations before an at- tempt is made to equal it. be nece THE BATTLE FOR 11E CUP, The first of the series of races for the American cup, between the American yacht Vigilant and the British yacht Valkyrio, will take place next Thurs- day, and this international sporting event is just now engrossing more at- tention in the east than any other, not excepting the promised pugilistio en- counter for next December, which is to decide who is the world’s champion bruiser. It is well that for a time the minds of those who take an interest in sporting matters ave diverted from tho discussion of the relative merits of the representatives of trained brutality to the comsideration of the qualitics of two typical vessels represent- ing difforent ideas of construc- tion with reference to securing the greatest speed. There has been during the past two or three years a very great excess of popular interest in pugilism, with effects detrimental in various ways, but especially in the violations of law that have resulted, and all good citize will commend the purpose now being shown by the authorities of New York and Indiana to prevent the brutal com- bats carriod on under the name of “ex- hibitions of scientific skill” and to pun- ish those who engage in them. Such a sporting event as that of the races for the America’s cup, on the other hand, is not only absolutely harmless, but is highly ~ serviceabls in determining the superiority in the matter of speed of differently constructed yachts, one essentially American and the other distinetively British, and, moreoyer, the contest makes an appeal to national pride and patriotism, It has now been forty-two years since the yacht America won in British waters and brought over to this country the cup that bears her name, and which has ever since represented the yachting su- premacy of the world. International races have taken place in 1870, 1871, 1876, 1881, 1885, 1886 and 1887, the Brit- ish sending here in thoso years soven of their swiftest yachts to recapture the trophy, most or all of them having been built with special reference to this achievement. After six years since the defeat of the Thistle, a repre- sentative English yacht, which, in her time, had defeated everything in Brit- THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: | tah wators, here to make another trial for the prizo ayacht wh is regarded as the swiftest vessel of the kind ever sent to American waters and which has shown extraordinary quali- ties, While the confidence ot most American yachtsmen in the ability of the Vigilant to keep the cup in this country is unbounded, none hesitate to admit that tho Valky: is a very formidablo -vival, and few would be greatly surprised if sho should carry oft the trophy, however much they might regrot such a result. it would not be an alto- rrotable thing it the If we retain the cup will probably bo no more chal- for years to come, whereas if it won from American yachtsmen will not bo content until it is rec aptured, and thus a great stimulus will bo given to international yachting contests. As has been observed, the competitions for the cup have hithert to give genuine satis can stand con there is now io us ) been too one-sided stion, and no sport nual victory on one side. Hence it is reasonably believed that a great impetus would be given to Ame can yachting if we had to send a hoat across to English waters instead of await- ing the periodical appearances of British challengers. However, it is quite im- possible for an American to put away the desire that the Vigilant, which has shown herself to be a splendid craft, in every way worthy to defend the ocup, will be victorious. However ¢ rdially we may acknowledge the moerits of Lord Dunraven as an honorable and high- minded sportsman and adwmire the fine qualities of his yacht, the spirit of patriotism forbids any other hope than that the America's cup shall remain in our possession. IWELL'S CANDIDACY, The scandalous thing of the Douglas county campaign has been the attempt to promote Mr. Powell's candi- dacy by the use of school hoard patron- and the help of janitc Quite a number of janitors were bold foisted upon the tickets. sveral of these are ted as delegates to the state conven- tion, and will of course be expected to repeat there what they have alrcady been doing in the primaries. A more shameful misuse of school board in- fluence has never yot been attempted in We are met face to face with fact that a partisan school board, converted into a political en- gine, becomes subversive to the best interests of the educational system. The timo is near at hand when the community will demand that mem- bers of the school board be made ineligi- ble by law to any other office during their torm. When that is done we shall find the superintendent of buildings and junitors at their posts of duty at the school houses instead of rustling around to drum up voters at a caucus or primary or acting as delegates in conventions. Mr. Powell’s candidacy for the su- preme bench certainly does not promote efliciency among the employes of the school board. Ttis a most deplorable illustration of mixing educational insti- tutions with politics. Mr. Powell is by no means the flest member of the board that enlisted the superintendent of building nitors and contractors to further his political aspirations, but it is to be hoped he will be the last. Poli- tics and the schools should, be granted a peretual divoree. most THE ECO. ND ECONOMICS. Political economy as a science has passed through a varied course of de velopment. Tt has been popular at one time, looked upon with indifference at an- other, despised or repudiated at another. Adam Smith's “Woalth of Nations" scarcely appoared from the press in 1776 when it became the most widely read work of the time. it passed through a multitude of editions and was trans- lated into all the continental languages. It was read and re-read by elucated poo- ple everywhere and its inflnence can bo traced in state papers and governmental action in many countries besides Eng- land and the United Staty Political cconomy, while by no means dating as a science from the time of Smith, yet with him attained its first real introduction to popular favor, a fact which has led to tho general acceptance of that author as its founder. A fow subsequent writers upon momic problems have secured a tem- porary popularity, but this has been due in many cases, as in those of the socialists, of Henry George, of Edward Bellamy, rather to the attractivendss of their method of treatment than to the real interest of their readers in economics asa science. The Malthusian doctrine and the self-complacent atti- tude of the IEnglish economists of the ourlier part of the century, which ro- fused to countenance the slightost endeavor to assist the laborer or to ameliorate the condition of the poor brought political economy as a scienc e, into the darkest disrepu From that degenoracy, well charae by Carlisle as the “dismal scienc it has emerged only by slow degrees. Al- though it might b2 exagyoera to say that it is now a popular science, as com- pared with the natural sciences, yot it has mado most wonderful advances in the popular estimation in the last decade or 50, The common complaint of professors of political economy is that they ave not sufficiently recognized as authorities upon the subjects to which they have de- voted their special attention and study. They say that whereas in dealing with the sewage of a city for example, a com- petent engineer is consulted and his recommendations are conscientiously followed, when questions of even graver import arvise relating to the cur- rency, the tariff, the relations of land- lord and tenant, every one considers himself able to decide for himself and the opinions of expert economists are brushed aside as “‘theoretical” or *“doc- trinative.” The professor is'toid that a8 s00n a8 his student leaves college and enters the ‘realms of practical life ha will find that the theories that he has learned will not work and that he will have to learn all his economics over once wore, The average professor does not relish this very much, but he regards with no little satisfaction the progress which is OCTORER 1 being made in the direction of a grea) popularity. Hedogds the increased we given to professional opimons in ¥ pean countries, $16 increased particip tion of professots of cconomies in legi Iution and governmontal work and the increased acceptivheo of the doctrines to | which he subser In the United States the movement has ben percepti- ble, though not rapid. The recognized leader of the American school of nomics was at tho head of two consuses preceding the last. College professors have had places on various executive or legislativo commissions under the fed- eral governmont 4s woll as less desivab! positions on state tax commissions or other bodies having only recommending vowers. They are frequently invited to make addressos at banquets given by ropresentative men, Thoy ave some times quoted upon topics of the day in newspapers of the pretentions grade. Butas to being looked upon as authoritios in their t they have still a considerable journey to make. Popularity, to be sure, does not necessarily involve with it an influenco over the action of the people, buv the latter usually follows upon the heels of the former 1 polit hos. eco more anch of scionce, 'al economy s still viewed by many as a dismal science, too thooretical for practical of tho blame must be laid at the doors of the teachers themselves. The professor of political economy in this country has been too wrapped up in himself: he has addressod himself almost exclusively to the small circlo of vrofessional econo- mists and regards with disdainful con- tempt anything that savors of catering to & popular clientage. Ho has adopted a most technical nomenclature and he has written the results of his investiga- tions in a langnaze not understood by the common people. He has secured a select and limited audience because he has sought no other. A peculiar incident illustrative of this exclusive attitude of the professional political economist occurred rocontly in Chicago at the annual moeeting of the American Economiceassociation. A pro- fessor in one of the leading universities had read a paper upon theories of inter- estand the subjoct was declared open for discussion. Anoutsider secured per- mission to participate and ventured ina delicately bashful w to ticize the position that had beon taken. Instoad of flatly contradicting the statemont that had b2en put forth he simply asked where the author had found authority for the assertion made. The professor, however, unacquainted with the ques tioner whom he evidently classed with the sitive populaco, retorted by re fercing to the listof authorities in a tain book and_gratuitously supplied the further information that the book had been translated into English. He waus in this instarice mistaken as to the extent of his eritic’s knowledge of economics buthe sacceeded fin showing the attitude which is too often assumed by the professional political economist. If the professors hope to see political economy restored to its early popularity they will have todo more than they are now doing to makd it popular. They will have to recognize that they are not tho sole possessors of - economic knowl- edge and they must be more willing to accept popular solutions of problems so soon as they have proven successful. They must be ready not only to criticize public action, but also to direct it. And with the popularity of political economy will also come the influence of the polit- ical economist with ihe common people. IT 15 t5 bo regrotted that the celebra- tion of Irish day at the World's fair should have boen marred by any misun- derstanding as to the public display of Erin’s colors from the flagstaff of the ex- position. This matter onght to have been decisively settled in advance of the celebration, and in the only proper and sensible way, that is, by allowing the Irish flag to float to the breeze from the same flagstaff that had beon decor: by the colors of other countrics. Irish people of America had a & able claim to this consideration. also to be regretted that the wean was not more favorable, but the sons of Erin cannot be deterred from manifest- ing their patriotism by inclement weather, and hence the program was fully carried ont and the celebration was a great success, Of course, the addresses were cloquent and replote with patriotic fervor, At the outset of the preparations for Trish day there ap- pearod to be somo danger that a conflict of factions would prevent such a cele- bration as Irishmen could be proud of, but all differences were happily settled, and the Irish peoplo of the United States aro to be congratulated upon having had a day of the fair that will be memorable and the story of which will warm the hearts and stir the prido of their kinsfolk across the sea. THE educational value of the great Columbian exposition is to be tested soon upon a novel plan. Its value in ex- tending the mental, horizon of persons whose vision seldom: passes beyond the limits of their own eity or county has been recognized from the firs The same is true with respect to persons who have had a liberal education or who have traveled far and wide, and have thus gained the ability to appreciate more fully the variéd attractions there presented that haye been gathered from all points of the compass, What its ef- feet will be upon ‘& semi-civilized or al- most barbarous pesple, will be noted when the party of Navajo Indians ar- rive, who are to ig sent out as an exper- iment under the auspices of the Indian Rights association!” Their impressions of the highest resulits of modern civil- ization will, it is hoped, stimulate a more rapid progress in their own im- provement and eunlightenment. Chil- dren from several of the Indian schools have reaped a marked benefit from visits to the fair, and the Navajo party may be expected to do equally well, purposes, soma ce THE discrimination made by local populists between old-line war horses and recent converts to the cause when considering the distribution of ocity of- fices is tone which ought to be properly aporociated by the members of that or- ganization. The politicians who espoused the cause of populism did not do so for | not be permitted to their health alone. To putan eleventh 1893--TWENTY PAG hour convert on a ticket when there are 80 many hungry veterans waiting for the plums would be to subject the party to the imputation that it did not contain enough competent men to fill the places. A REPORT of the legal execution of five negroes in tho south is such an un- common piece of news in these days of almost daily lynchings that it should sape the approval of law-respecting people everywhere, It is the common belief that if the white people of the south could be brought to the assurance that the perpetrators of all outrages would specdily reap the penalty proscribed by law, without rofe ence to color, they would not continue to cultivato their propoensitios for lynchings and othor lawless executions. We can scarcely expect their conrts to deal with white and colored of- fenders with an absolute impartiality, but some color of legal proceedings by which it may be made practically cortain that the prisoncr is not innocent of the accusation would be a great step in advance no matter how severely the law might be moted out to colored conviets. A few more executions ac- cording to the lotter of the law might show a porceptible tendency among the people to abandon lynch law for the only authorized legal prosecution. TiE commission appointed to devise a botter means of governing the public schools of New York City has decided to hold open sessions during tho present month, when any ono who has devoted special attention to educational matters will be pormitted to make sugeestions. The testimony which will boe thus ad- duced ought to prove of great value not only to the peoplo of New York, but also to those living in other populous con- ters where public school problems are constantly appearing. Officors connected with the public schools overywhero ought to watch carefully the proceed- ings of the New York commission.

Largest Manuf: of Glothing In New Styles And new theories are always eropping up, but ‘n be dressed, the theory that o well and elegan... must have his clothes made to hisown order by a mer- chant tailor—for makers of clothing have got the business down to such a fine point that the large manufacturers hire | all the best tailors in the <y country to make up their goods. The quality of the cloth is just as good and the workmanship is often a great deal better than the ordinary tailored job. At least this is true of our goods. Our $8.50 suit isin just as good style as the $10, $12.50, $15.00, $20 00 and $25.00 sort, and are in every way reliable goods, guaranteed to wear and fit exactly. Our overcoats, in every con- ceivable style, range from $8.50 up as high as $25,00. Our new fall underwear is in now, and we wish to state that “finer underclothes than we carry are not to be had. ~ You may depend--you pay for honest goods.” BROWNING, KING & CO., Btore opengvert ey eiids ! = |8, W, Cor. 16t and Douglas 813,
