REPUBLICAN delegates to the state convention should place no contidence in the reports and estimates of the Lincoln Journal and other railroad organs which are purposely misleading them by print- ing bogus reports from county conven- tions and mannfacturing estimates that are utteriy unrehable. ——— | Witk Judge Maxwell as its candidate | the republican convention needs no plat- form. With Maxwell turned down the best platform on earth would fail to satisfy the voters that the republican party can be depended on to redeem its pledges. REPUBLICAN delegates to the state convention will either redesm the party this day from the stigma of corruption and corporate subserviency, or they will seal its dcom for years to come. Re- publicanisin cannot survive where rail- roadism usirps all its functions and de- files its tomples. ¢ THE Omaha World-Herald, which always reminds one of Janus, the two- faced Roman idol, proposes to support for district judges, Judge Walton, who does not need its support, Mr. Curtis, one of the bar candidates,rand Judge Blair, one of the republican candidates. This is the same old game of hide and seck to which the patrons of that sheet havo long since become accustomed. WILL republicans vote to make Gen- eral Muanager Holdrege of the Burling- ton railrond the arbiter of the party's destiny and the supreme rulor over the people of Nebraska, or will they'wrench the power which Holdrege and otter railroud magnates seck to usurp? Will they supinely submit to a political des- potism that arrogates to itself the right to make or depose senators or congress- men, state officers and lawmakers, and even secks to grasp in its iron hand the supreme judiciary of the state? THERE will undoubtedly be nothing more heard of the scheme for a combine between the friends of protection in congress and the free silver advocates. Its unqualified denunciation by nearly all the supporters of the protective pol- icy in the senate except Mr. Camoron, who is totally without influence and was on the side of free silver anyway, has effectually disposed of this preposterous proposition. Tho cause of protection could receive no more serious blow than an alliance with the champions of an unsound currency. 2 DENT CLEVELAND seems deter- fined to relieve himself to the fullest extent possible from the importunities of the politicians and place hunters. Tt is said that he now proposes to rely al- most entirely upon the recommendations of the heads of departments as to ap- pointments. This will disturb the cal- culations of a great many office seekers who are pinning their faith to congress- men or to politicians supposed to be in special favor with the president, but it will relieve Mr. Cleveland of an onerous task which necessarily interferes with & proper attention to the public busi- ness. THERE appears to be a favorable pros- pect for legislation allowing the national banks to issue notes to the par value ef the bonds deposited by them to secure cireulation. A bill for this purpose will be reported from the house banking and ourrency committee and it is not ex- peoted to encounter & very formidable opposition. Such legislation would add about $19,000,000 to the currency within @short time and it is thought would lead the baniks to still further increase their bond holdings and enlarge their issuo of notes. It is the most prac- ticable of all plans for increasing the circulation, THE action of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce requesting Senator Cam- eron to put aside his personal prefer- ences and vote for the repeal of the silver purchase law will have no effect upon the views or conduct of that senator. He is controlled entirely by what he conceives to be his individual interests and has always shown himself to be indifferent to publie opinion or the wishes of his constituents. Cameron misrepresents Pennsy lvania and the ro- publicans of that state must see to it that he is not allowed to continue to do 80 beyond his present term, which un- fortunately does not expire until 1897, A PINAL APPEAL of the conventin I'he action yublioans assom- day will decide the fate of the party for years d in s this to come.

This day will docido whather the republicans of Nebraska propose to surrendor th ernment of this state toa despotism, or whether the gov- law-defying party will stand up for a government by the people and for the people. The constitution of Nebraska guaran- tees to its peonle u republican form of government, which means a government wherein the people are sovereign and their will is given vitality through their chosen representatives. Have wo in Nebraska such a form of government? Are we not ruled by the managers of railway corporations that obey no law, except it suits their purpose, who exor- > the taxing powers without restraint s common carriers lord it over the people, corrupt their lawmakers, foist their own creatures into the executive of government coniidence in t judiciar el and branches and destroy publi o integrity of the T'his is no anarclristic nightmare.

GEARY LAW AMENOMENTS, Instead of settling the Chinese ques- tion in the United States, as was con- fidently expected by its author and many of its supporters in congress at the time of 1ts enactment, the Geary law has done nothing except to complicate the situa- tion. Further legislation is now neces- sary, either to vepeal the act or to ren- der its enforcement possible. Billsto se- cure thetutter end have been introduced into the house and will no doubt roceive early attention from the committee to which they have been referred. The bills introduced have two objects in view. One set merely appropriatos a specified amount of 1aoney to enable the president to have the provisions of the Geary law carried out as they now stand upon the statute book. They are backed by the more relentless Chinese exelu- sionists, who desire to see the country en- tively cleared of its Chinese population. Tho. Geary law originally contem- plated only the enforcemont of the provious legislation which pro- hibited the fresh immigration of Chinese laborers. All who were already in this country were expected to com- ply with the registration clause of the law and thus to establish their right to remain where they are located. That they are now liablo to deportation is due to their own stubbornness in refusing to register beforn the day set for the cn- forcoment of the penalty clause. Had they registered first and tosted the con- stitutionality of the law afterward they would not have found themselves in their present dilemma. But the ex- treme exclusionists, having discovercd how the Chinese residents of the coun- try have placed themselves at their meroy, propose to take advantagoe of the unlooked-for situation and foree them to return to their nativo country, The other amendments to the Geury law aim to attain no more than the original act. Those Chinese who are already here are to be given another op- portunity to register and if they show themselves disposed to comply with the law they are to be permitted to re- main. 1t is to be distinetly understood, T R T T T s THE OMAHA DAILY RF& THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1893 however, that after the expiration of | by men trained in prdctical affaies the extended time no more indulgence will be granted and those who are then in default are to be ruthlessly deporied as th W airects. Outside of a few extremists on the Pa- ic const the people generally incline to the more lenient of these plans. They have yielded to the demand that all future Chinese immigration bo sus- pended, but do not care to molest the few Chinamen that have come here under treaty agreements, he oxten- sion of the time for registration and the grant of an appropriation to enforce the penalty clause after the expiration of that time may therefore be confidently awaited as part of the legislative pro- gram of the present congr GAVE THEM A CLEAN BILL. Thoe preforred candidate of the con- federated railroads and impeached state officials for the Maxwell Judge M. L. Hayward of Otoe. This is in accord with the cternal fitness of thi Judge Hayward has not mevely been one of the attorneys defending the impeached state officials, but he volun- teered in their defenso even before the legislature had taken definito action v garding their impeachment. The Ne- braska City Press of March 23, 180 contains a column and a half of volun- tary eulogy of the state house triumvir- ate under the heading, “They are Vie tims of Parsimony.” We need only cite the concluding sentences of this article to show just what peculiar notions Judgo Hayward entertains concerning the fast and methods that prevail in the state house. He suid: The whole trouble lies in the fact that these state officials have had o great num- ber of duti thrust upon them and they have had to assign the work to deputios.

With the exception of the ambassadors to England and France, Mr. Bay®d and Mr. Eustis, no ono se. lected for a diplomatic mission is of any prominence or can lay claim to any di tinguished fitness forsuch service, while a very important appointment has be given to a man who is charged with having bargained for it by a liberal con- tribution to the campaign fund last year. The consular appointments have for tho most part been even worse. As was recently said by a newspaper which has very rarely found fault with any- thing done by the Cleveland administra- tion, there has been sent out to look after our trade in the uttermost ends of the carth the usual quota of brok down men and ignorant editors, and the paper says that “bad as it is to have. such people in any service, it is little short of treason to the government to make them our means of intercourse with foreign na- tions.” There will be no difference of opinion as to this among men who have any concern for the intelligent and effi- cient representation of the United States abroad. So far as the diplomatic appointments are concernea, the president must be held directly and solely resvonsible for them, and in order that this may be properly understood it is necessary to swy that Sceretary Gresham has nothing whatever to do with the business of ap- pointments. There is the best author- ity for the statement that when Judge Gresham accepted the position of sec retary of state he did so with the dis- tinct understanding that he should have no part in appointing diplomatic and consular officers, and this arrangement has been strictly adhered to. The ex- tensive and much coveted patronage of the State department has been distrib- uted without any recommendation, sug- gestion or interference on the part of Sccretary Gresham, so that no blame for the poor character of most of the appointment attaches to him. The responsibility for the con- sular appointments rests mainly upen Mr. Josiah Quincy of Massachusetts, who, as assistant secretary of state, had practically complete charge of this class of appointments. He retired from this office some two weeks ago, having made a record of unfitness which is likely to be a source of aunoyance to him for some time to come. Mr. Quinoy showed himself to be thoroughly in sympathy with the spoils element of his party, and indicated also that the prineipal value of consular positions is as reward for political services. The great drawback to our consular service for many years is the fact that consulships have been so lurgely used to vay off political debts, and while of late years this has not been carried to so great an extent as formerly there are still far too many appointments made to this service solely for political reasons and without any regard to the fitness of the appointees for the duties of the office. If we are not mistaken Mr, Cleveland has higself deprecated this practice and said something about the desirability of applying the principles of civil servica reform to the consular service, bat, however this may be, thora has certainly been nothing done in this airection thus far in his present admin- istration. A few men who have been many years in eonsular positions and have proven themselves highly valuable officials are retained, but beyond this there has becn no indieation of a pur- pose to apoly reform principles to this servico, The United Stutes has long held a very inferior position in this par- CONSULAR “ticular to that of other great commercial nations and will continue to do so as long as the policy of appointing mere politicians to consular offices is adhered to. They ure essentially business posi- tions and ought to be filled principally There is reasdhiable ground for appre- hending that the diplomatic and con- sulur service, of the country will not be improved under the present administra tion WORK OF "TITE ¢ The On in existen NMERCIAL ha (ommercial ¢l » sewrcely six months, anized by business men for the motion of Omiha's commercial growth and prosperity, Tt t was to unito in one body ali the elements that contributt the city's industrial and commereial development and co-op- erate with all other have the same CLUD, Wb has been 1t was pro- object j toward th organizations that object in It's second object s to establish and maintain & freight burcau that would endeavor to protect Omaha johbers and manufacturers against rate diserimina- tions and to ratos over every railway that enters this city. view, give Those objects have in s been attained.

The efforts of the club o attract to Omaha investors and manufacturers have ly yielded good results. Tho recent establishment of a furniture fac- tory by cavitalists from an adjoining state is only a forerunner of what the club expeets to accomplish in the very near future, All that is needed now is the active and unwavering co-operation of business men and an incroase of mem- bership. There is no reason why the club should not have 1,000 paying mem- bers on its rolls. At Minneapolis they have over 1,000 members in a similar organization, and only last year the Minncapolis club raised $50,000 by $50 subseriptions from 1,000 members abonus Lo a great harvester and roaper If Omaha emulates this example we shall soon have permanent employment for every idle man and woman in the city and many thousands more will be able to make their homes among us. as fuctory. FEDERAL and state laws provide safe- guards for depositors of national and state banks. Periodically such, banks must publish a statement of their actual condition, and examiners are supposed to bo continually on the alert and to sound the alarm in case the interests of depositors are considered to be in jeop- ardy. The design of these laws is to orotect the people against fraud. Feeblo efforts have bean made in this state to ass laws whichawvould protect the inter- ests of the taxpayers and their money held by county, and city treasurers. [t behooves the couneil, the commissioners and the school board to require monthly reports from the respective treasurers, giving amount of surplus in each fund and where the money is deposited. ALTHOUGH a gréat many mills and factories have resumed operations, wholly or partially, during the past month or two, there is still a great deal of unemployed labor in the manufactur- ing centers of the country. A canvass in Philadelphia recently of only about one-third of the textile industries showed 30,000 people now idle who were employed six months ago. Tho impres- sive sug m of this unfortunate state of affairs is that the work of charity throughout the country this winter will have to be on a more extensive scale than perhaps ever before THERE seems to be no disposition on the part of the champions and promoters of the proposed Platte river canal to provide proper safeguards against jobbery and reckless waste of public funds in a supplementary ordinance and have the same submitted with the propo- sition to vote a million and a half of bonds.
