It Is a poor trust that does not get some concession out of the tariff tinkers. Parisian funerals, like Parislan fetes, are eonducted on a grand and spectacular scale. The last days of the tarift discussion are presumably within sight. What a gratifying sight! Taken all in all, Omaha is as healthful as any place that puts on frills as a summer resort. It looks as if the tarifft bill were about to follow quite closely the other bills that come in the first of the month. Now that the soap bubble party has been treed we will not hear any more about its propaganda from Des Moines or the Omaha Fake Mill. The house committee on public buildings has agreed to recommend the desired in- crease of appropriation for the Omaha fed- eral building. But at this distance it looks very much as if the recommendation would remain in the congressional pigeonhole for the balance of the season.

Omaha has been called upon to furnish Fourth of July oratory for a dozen or more celebrations in as many different towns. Omaha will celcbrate, therefore, abroad as well as at home. Fortunately Omaha Is so well supplied with good public speakers that she is ready to supply the demand and to guarantee satisfaction in every instance. l It the railroad managers would only obey the laws enacted for the protection of their 8 patrons and employes it would be much easler to repress the spirit of lawlessness k that pervades the railway strikers and boy- cotters.

Those who don't obey or re- < spect any law that conflicts with their in- B terest or curbs their arbitrary power are now reaping the whirlwind which they have ~ been sowing for years.

Whatever may come of the eanal project— whether It fs pushed, rotarded or abandoned | —Omaha can and should be made a manu- facturing center. The cost of fuel and power doubtless affects the great industrial establishments such as flouring mills, foun- dries and factorles that require power and water on a large seale, but the cost of power cuts practically no figure with hundreds of minor ndustries that can be made to flour- Ish in this city. Some extensive manufac- turing concerns flourish In this city today that were established in the face of all the drawbacks. Excluding the smelting works and the Unlon Pacific shops, which employ over 2,000 hands, when running in full blast, have the white lead ofl mills, Willow Springs distillery, cracker factory, several breweres, a shoe factory and last but not least, al furniture factories that do a very extensive business. Besides all these we have overall factorles, bag fac- tories, button factories, and fully thirty to forty minor industrial concerns that employ from five to fifty hands each. With the bulk of all tiese concorns the cost of laor is the chiet factor. The con- sensus of opinfon among the men who oper- ate these small factories and for that matter all mills and factories is that Omaha would have threo times as many factories than she has now it It were not for the cheaper labor of the eastern factory towns. Now we cannot hope to have cheaper labor until we have cheaper living. If we reduce the of subsistence to the chanic and laborer below what It costs else- where he will be content with a lower wage. There is no good reason why this could not bo brought about by well directed ef- fort. We have all the food products at our door. We are in the heart of the most fertile valley of America. We raise the grain and cattle for the world and we have an abundance of vegetables and fruits almost at our very door. But the price that a working man pays for his meat at our butcher shops Is as high as the Nebraska raised beef and pork is sold for in the butcher stalls of Liverpool and Hamburg. The is true of lard, flour and pro- visions. These necessaries of life can and should be cheapened for Omaha wageworkers. How fs this to be brought about? In our opinfon the first step In that direction would be by public market. The second step by we works, sev the can cost me- is me co-operation. In ngland co-operation has worked wonders. It can be made successful here. When workingmen are given a chance to buy their provisions first hand instead of paying tribute to mid- dlemen that dole out all their eatable, fuel and household necessaries at excessive profit they will be able to subsist comfortably on factory wages that prevall at Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago and other great industrial centers, These suggestions have no reference to the canal project which would be a valuable auxiliary in stimulating our industries and in bringing into our midst investors in en- terprises that would otherwise seek other | locations. We want the market house just as soon as possible and we want co-operative supply. depots to help the wage worker who is on half pay or works at reduced wages to make ends meet. POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATORS. Until there can be an amendment of the federal constitution providing for the elec- tion of United States senators by popular vote the nearest approach to it is the noml- nation.or indorsement of men for the senate by party conventions, prior to the election of a legislature which is to elect a senator. This plan appears to have become the set- tled policy of the democratic party in Illi- nois, whose state convention four years ago named General Palmer as the choice of the party for the national senate, and this year has indorsed Franklin MacVeagh for the sen- ate. The plan has also been adopted by the Michigan demccrats, and it is very probable that in the course of a few years the prac- tice will become general. Mr. MacVeagh in- tends to follow the example of Palmer and make as thorough & canvass of the state as it he were a candidate on the ticket, so that the question of senatorial succession will be a prominent feature of the campaign and exert an influence with the voters proportion- ate to its importance. Doubtless the same thing will be done by the candidate of the Michigan democrats, It is possible that the republicans of these states will adopt this method of nominating candidates for the United States senate. The Chicago Inter Ocean urges that whatever the republicans of Illinois may have intended to do they can now hardly refuse to accept the challenge thus thrown down. Should they decide that it is expedient to make a convention nomination for senator it would probably give an Impe- tus to this plan of securing, to all intents, the popular election of senators, and It would certainly lend added interest to the campalgn In that state. When Palmer was nominated four years ago the senatorial issuo commanded by far the larger share of popu- lar attention. A resolution to amend the federal con- stitution so as to provide for the election of senators by the direct vote of the people was favorably reported to the house of rep- resentatives a short time ago. The report accompanying 1t declared that the necessity for the passage of such an amendment has Increased since the resolution covering the subject was passed without a dissenting vote in the Fifty-second It truthfully asserts that the present congress has in- tensified this feeling. The report takes the ground that what is called senatorial tesy obstructs the popular will; that senate, under its present mode of election, has outlived its usefulness. The acknowl- edgment s made that in the past that body has been distinguished for patriotism and statesmanship, and its conservatism Is commended, but its fallure to act in emer- gencies is reprobated. the opinion that if the proposed change were made the senate would regain its position in the regard of the public by a more sensitive response to the popular demands. It is un- congress. cour- the The report expresses questionable that the United States senate has in recent years greatly deterforated in popular respect and confidence. This is due to several causes, the least important of which is the declfne of that body in intel- lectual strength and character, recognized and admitted by all intelligent observers. The inferority of the senate at this time, considered as a whole, will not be seriously questioned by anybody who has any knowl edge of that body In the past. But it Is the fact that In recent years the senate has become the bulwark of the money power, of corporations and of monopoly, which has had most to do with the decline of that body In the respect and o of the people. It has for years been dominated by wealth concentrated in ways inimical to the inter- confiden ests of the people. Many of Its members have been the paid servants of corporations, and if it can be sald Wat in-this regard it s Dot now at its worst, stlll it Is a well known fact that there are s hold nators now who relations to corporations which disable THE UMAHA DAL them from forming an entirely falr und im- partial judgment upon questions that involve a conflict between the interests of the peo- ple and corporations. What is ealled “sena- torfal courtesy” might be tolerated if there was confidence In the absolute integrity of purpose of senato but as It is the people Took this so-called courtesy with pleion, as belng a convenient practice for the subversion of will, develop- ments have shown that senat perior to corrupting influences, This combination of faults has produced a widespread feeling of distrust of the sen- | ate glven occasion for demanding change In the method of choosing senators which would bring them nearer to the peo- ple and : st responsibil- ity to those who elect them. Besides there is a sentiment that the present way of elect- ing senators is not strictly consistent with our system, the cardinal princi- ple of which fs that all power should pro- ceed directly from the people. There s lit- tle probabllity that this congress or the noxt will agree to the proposed constitutional amendment, but there is no doubt that it will come in time, and, meanwhile, the nomi- nation of senatorial candidates by party con- ventions is an alternative which promises to grow In favor. A WEAK DEP! The interview furnished for publication by Speaker Crisp, and evidently intended for campaign effect, in which he undertakes to defend the house of representatives against the criticfsm of the work of that body, will upon sus- Recent s are not su- their and o » increase their sense republican ASE hardly help the democracy, though it has served to amuse the republicans of the house. All that the present house of repre- sentatives has done In the matter of legis- lation is the passage of the tariff bill, the repeal of the silver purchase clause of the Sherman act, the passage of the appropria- tion bills and the anti-option bill, with a few other measures of minor importance. The most valuable of this legislation, that stopping the purchase of silver by the gov- ernment, the democrats of the house are not entitled to the credit for, as a majority of them were opposed to it, and it could not have been adopted without the nearly unan- imous vote of the republicans. That they cannot claim much glory for the tariff bill is plain from the way in which the senate has revised and changed that measure, casting a reflection upon the ability and judgment of the first framers of the bill which has made them ridiculous before the country. In the matter of the appropriation bills there was so much delay, due In part to the lack of practical judgment and in part to the cheese-paring spirit of economy, that the senate has not acted upon any of these measures, and it became necessary to extend the appropriations for the last fiscal year thirty days in order to keep the machinery of the government in motion. It is a mat- ter of common knowledge that for weeks the house was most of the time without a quorum to do business and that the leaders of the majority were in the greatest per- plexity as to what they should do to remedy the trouble, only escaping from this finally by adopting the plan of the last republican Jhouse regarding a quorum and thus swallow- ing all their denunciation of that sound and judicious principle. It was their back-down in this matter that enabled them to do what has been accomplished. It was well sald by ex-Speaker Reed in referring to the interview of Speaker Crisp that it any house of representatives In the entire history of the government had ac- complished less in the same length of time than the present ome it must have been another democratic house of the same kind, and that he thought would be hard to dis- cover. When the republicans were in con- trol of the house of the Fifty-first con- gress they passed a tarift bill, a sil- ver bill, a bill to increase American ship- ping engaged in the foreign trade and a bill to relieve the supreme court—all important legislation—but in addition twenty or thirty other bills of importance, and they did that without an expensive extra session of three months. While the republicans In the Fitty- first congress allowed ample time for the consideration and discussion of all measures they permitted no delay on account of the absence of a quorum and business was kept moving. The contrast between the work of the last republican house and the present one is a matter about which republicans can be justly proud. PROSPECTS OF THE POOLING BILL. It is seid that the friends of the bill to permit pooling contracts among the rail- ronds are more confident than in any pre- vious congress, but they expect a vigorous fight agalnst the measurs whenever it shall com2 up for c.ns'deration. The commiter on commerce is nearly unanimous in favor of the bill, but there are one or two mem- bers who are likely to lead the op- position and offer some amendments. The pooling provision proper will, it is thought, have to stand or fall as a whole. It cannot be amended to the satis- faction of those who oppose pooling, except by belng stricken out. The opponents of the pending bill insist that it will no more in- sure uniform rates and equality among ship- pers than the existing law, and that the law ought to be glven a further trial as it stands, with power in the Interstate Com- merce commission to order the adoption of reasonable and equitable rates. The program 18 to get the bill through the house at the present sesslon and give the senate committee on op- portunity to report favorably late this ses- slon or at an early date at the next session. The members of the senate committeo hav- ing been consulted from time to time in the preparation of the house bill it will not take them long to make up thelr minds on a report it the hopes of the friends of the measure are justified. The claim is made that every rallroad commission in the voun- try, except that of Minnesots, fs in favor of | & pooling bill, and the recent conference of | railroad men at the rooms of the Interstate Commerce commission Indicated that the measure would have thelr full endorsement, as well as that of the commission. What the outcome of the voto on the measure in the house will be cannot be predicted with certalnty. There 18 a strong feeling of hostility to the rallroads and towards any- thing which originates with them and if the bill passes it will do so because it is plan that a majority of the shippers of the coun- try are satisfiod to have the experiment tried. The dificulty will be in ascertaining the views of shippers generally. Those who n speak through commercial organizations can easily be heard from and quite generally these are favorable to & pooling arrange- commerce I ment under the supervision of the Interstate Commerce commission, as proposed by this bill, there Is an equally large num of shippers outside of these organizations who are thought to be generally opposed to but the proposed leglslation, and this has a great deal of Influence In congress.

Armor Flate Conspiracy. Chicago Post. This week a Nebraska post of the Grand Army of the Republic passed a resolution recommending that in future government tests of armor plate be conducted with Car- negie and Frick behind the target. We are not sure that this would not be a first- rate plan. But while the government is considering it the suggestion may be made that the revelations of fraud at the Car- negle works in connection with the manu- facture of armor plate are more properly in place before a federal grand jury of the district of western Pennsylvania than before a congressional investigating com- mittee. e Dismal Results of Democracy. Ex-Speaker Reed in North American Review. The history of last year must have been a bitter disappointment to many good men who, not satisfied with a reasonable amount of good government, sought to find a future better than the past by throwing thems selves into the hands of a party which was and Is the creation of pure opposi- tion, a party which had never been for anything in particular, but simply against everything in gener How these men could have hoped for anything but the dismal result which now darkens the coun- try they are probably at this moment ask- ing themselves with more of anger than of sorrow. Of course these men, and with them partisans of long standing, are no penting with exceeding bitterness of spivit. Th s0 bringing forth works meet for repent No election, however trivial, which gives men a chance to show their feelings has been neglected. Wher- ever the elections have been on a scale great enough the disgust of the people has taken on the largest possible propor- tions, and-the people have not falled to emphasize what they meant.

The practical experience of one community in makng, using and paying for a new and superior road is worth more to others in like circumstances and conditions than any amount of argument or theory; and the greatest service the department can render the public in this regard is to furnish the facts in each important case of road im- pfovement, and to compare the respective advantages and disadvantages of the methods followed [n different portions of the union. Modifications of these methods or oven mew methods may be developed by further experience, but for the present a clear knowledge of what has been dene and .5 belng done is the one thing needful. It has been suggested by friends of the road movement that such information can be much more promptly and widely di seminated through the newspapers inter- ested in the work than through the usual methods of government publication. Recog- nizing this fact, the department will avail itself_of all such facilities as may be ac- corded by the press for the purpose, and will furnish a series of articles of the char- acter indicated to all papers publishing this announcement and forwarding a_copy of the paper containing the same to this office.

W WASHINGTON, July There Is considerable quiet chuckling in | democratic senatorlal les tonight over | the alleged fact that Semator Hill of New York intends to vote for the tarift bill in the senate tomorrow afternoon. Senator Gray of Delaware this afternoon spoke to | Senator Murphy of New York concerning | the vote on the passage of the bill and re- marked: “1 am that nin vote with us to make it unanimously a dem- ocratie my ure.'" Senator Murphy, without raising his volce or clevating his eyelids, responded in quict manner: ““I know of no oceasion upon which Senator Hill has stated that he would not vote for the bill. He fs bitterly opposed to certain features of the bill, but he believe in majority rule. As he has stated for him self upon several occasions, Senator Hill a democrat.” The substance of this quiet little senatorial interview in the cloak room of the demo- tic side of the chamber this afternoon was passed from 1ip to lip during the clos- ing minutes of the session, and the inferenc was drawn unanimously that after all of his vigorous fighting against the schedules obnoxious to his judgment Senator Hill in- tends to obey the will of the majority of his party and cast his vote in favor of the passage of the bill. If this is to be the end of the Hill campaign aginst the tarift bill that easure will pass the senate tomorrow and be railroaded through the conference committee of both houses inside of a fort- sorry Senator will not night. DEMOCRATIC DISCIPLINE ADMIRED. I never saw better party discipline,” said Senator Manderson, “than has been ob- tained and maintained on the democratic side of the senate during the consideration of the tariff bill. The senators on that side of the chamber do not pay any attention to the things which are said and done. The arguments which have been made in deba were absolutely wasted, because the demo- cratic side of the senate chamber been practically deserted all of the time. The democratic senators have gone to their com- mittee rooms or elsewhere about the cap- itol, and when roll calls have been or- dered they have responded to the electric bells by hastening upon the floor of the senate, quickly asking the party managers and leaders how their votes should be re- corded, and then addressing the vice presi- dent they have either said “yea” or “nay,” according to the directions which they have received, without knowing anything or mak- ing any inquiry concerning the subject upon which they have cast their votes.” “Our friend Manderson,” sald Senator Blackburn of Kentucky, ‘‘has come as near telling the truth as a partisan republican could do upon such a subject. As a matter of fact, T have, without knowing the sub- jeets, cast more bad votes during the present session of congress than ever before during my entire public carcer. I have voted with my party upon the assumption that my party was right upon every question, and I have done this because it was decided in party caucus that we must stand together for the cause of revenue reform.” “One thing that bothers me, tor Berry of Arkansas, “Is the fact that I unywittingly voted for free art. 1 have been defending the rights of the poor and attack- ing the luxurles of the rich all of my life, and yet, upon one roll call, without realizing what subject was before the senate, I voted for the admission free of works of art, which only the very wealthy people of our country can_afford to buy and bring from the old world into this country.” BRYAN HELD IT BACK. Tens of thousands of public documents of value are being destroyed in this city be- cause no proper place has been provided for their storage by the government. A bill providing for a hall of records in this city was taken up for consideration by the house today and Mr. Bryan of Nebraska ac- complished the defeat of the measure by in- sald Sena- sisting upon the presence of a quorum to consider his proposition to cut down the cost of the site from $300,000 to $175,000. Mr. Bryan asserts that he will insist upon this economic determination by the house or else secure the defeat of the bill. Patent have been issued as follows: To Nebraskans—Albert G.

WASHINGTON, July 2—The Pullman strike had an echo in the semate today.
