Senator Allison didn't tarry to meet Governor McKinley. to the conclusion that such close prox- imity of two presidential booms might not be conducive to the growth of either. The calamity crusaders profess to be willing to Dblow in $50,000 in a futile effort to elect Tom Majors. But it was like drawing teeth to get $150 out of these patriots to pay the expenses of the Mc¢Kinley reception, The Board of Health, we are told, has decided to stop work until more funds are placed at its command. This de- clsfon, however, will not occasion any change in the conduct of some of its employes, who have been studiously avolding work for some time past. Rebuke railroadism and boodlerism this year by turning down the tattooed candidate, republicanism will rise again triumphant in 1896 and there will be no necessity of again importing out- slde spenkers to keep Nebraska's repre- sentation in congress in the republican column. Tattooed Tom’s effort to get a word or two at the crowd which had been drawn out to hear a speech from Gov- ernor McKinley proved abortive. The hickory-shirted statesman was willing and attempted to make the first ad- vances, but the audience would have none of it. ‘We shall probably have to wait for the formal notification of Senator Hill of his nomination as democratic candi- date for governor in New York before being told how reluctantly he has let himself be persuaded to sacrifice his personal comfort for his party's good. And then the senator will hang his hat up on the hook. Ex-President Harrison has made ar- rangements for a two-days tour through southern Indiana, beginning October 12, during which time he expeets to de- liver eighteen speeches in support of re- publican principles.

The democratie constituents of the distingnished iff reformer have made preparations to give him a wel- come home that will mport with his position ns a party leader, but they will hardly be able to do anything that will be quite so memorable as the din ner given to Mr. Wilson by the London Chamb of Commerce.

They would have been un- grateful, indeed, if they had failed to manifest their appreciation of Mr. Wil- sou’s service in their behalf, and that he justified the attention shown him his assurances to his entertainers suffi- ciently attest, Mr. Wilson comes back to continue the contest for tearing down the de fenses reared by protection against the destructive competition of foreign man- utacturers, and especially those of Eng- land, with the manufacturers of his own is. in effect, is what he his British entertainers. It is sible that the voters of the Secomd Virginia congressional district not approve of this purpose, There ave some struggling industries in that district that still need to be defended loss of which would be a serious matter to a considel ple. There are conl mining Interest there, also, that would not be henefi by the suc of the Wilson policy There is reason to belleve that he may Lear from these in a way to convince him that British approbation of his efforts is not a satisfactory recommen- dation to the confidence and support of an American industrial community. There will be widespread interest in the campaign in Mr. Wilson's district from now on. d THE SUGAR MARK| The fact that the imposition of the new import duty upon sugar, both raw and refined, has not materially affected the price of sugar is being pointed out in many quarters as an anomaly in the industrial situation. It was freely pre- dicted at the time the sugar schedule was under consideration, and it was but naturally to be expected, that the price of sugar on the market would, upon the enactment of the new tariff law, be increased immediatel, at least as much as the increase in duty. In fact, this expectation was one of the main reasor Ivanced by those who professed to advocate a tax on sugar as a4 revenue measure, it being argued that by this means the sum raised would be apportioned among the whole number of people In the increased amounts which they must pay for the sugar which they consume. Yet the sugar market has remained substantially unchanged. On August 28, when the new tariff law went into effect, the quotation price of centrifugal sugar was 3% cents per pound. It has not been higher since, and to effect sales now a shade of reduction from this would have to be made. The price of granulated sugar on August 28 was 4.72 cents net cash. It Is quoted now at 41 cents net cash. Previously, at the time when the movement in sugar be- gan in consequence of an anticipated change in the du centrifugal sngars were selling at 814 cents. This was the price on August 1, when granulated sugars were selling at 4.35 cents. In- stead, therefore, of there being a vise in the price of sugar as a direct result of the new tariff law, the price is alinost back where it was on August 1, when the passage of the bill was still a mat- ter of grave doubt, The explanation is not so very difi- cult. Under rket methods ny of the pre 'tive price changes discounted in advance, and the vari- fons instend of being sharp and few are more usually small and many. The stock of sugar in this countr 18 been s0 largely increased during the period f the old duties in the hope of a vl in price with the advent of the new duties that in order to sell at all suga be offered at the old figure. evel dealer who was able to do stocked up in advance, and the supply is still good for a considerable time to come. Another factor that is contribut- ing to the same result is that the trade Is just entering a new year for sugar, which promises an extraordinary prod- uct. The beet sugar crop, it Is esti- mated, will exceed that of last year by 1,200,000 tons. For this huge excess there is no other outlet than the United States, and therefore the most of it will have to find its way to the American market at prices low enough to induce the people to buy. It will, furthermore, be to the interest of forelgn producers to keep prices down for a while, at any rate, in order to discourage any unew sugar enterprises in this country. One anthority says that they arve already offering shipments of granulated sugar for the first six months of next year, 1895, at an equivalent of 4.17 cents per | pound landed in New York, against | the present New York prl of 4.41 cents. It is veadily seen that any raise which retallers of sugar may have forced upon their customers has not Dbeen at all justified by the state of the market While the new law has not yet ma- terinlly incrensed the price of sugar it has unquestionably prevented a de- erease In price, which wonld otherwise have been manifest. Dealers would perhaps not have laid in sueh large stocks were it not for the tariff changes, but the fmmense increase of supply in sight must necessa have had a de- pressing effect. Sugar prices would, in the absence of the duty, perhaps, not be lower by the entire amount of the tax, but if the tax were removed now it would certainly fall several notches, The fall, in that case, would be the ac e measure of the extent to which sugar duty now prevents a reduction in pri IRREDEEMABLE PLEDGES. Union Pacific railrond officials assure nhe of the council that they mean to do the right thing by Omaba and the roads that will want to use the union depot and terminal facilities, and they also assure these councilmen that the receivers and the court will sa tion the compact embodied in the union depot ordinance. These pledges must be laken for what they are worth. They could not be enfore in a court of law and are I no way binding upon the compn They could be repudiated the moment the deeds and releases have passed out of the hands of the mayor. Furthermore, what gnaranty have we that the present office f the Union Pacific who make these verbal pledges will be in position to redeem them six months hence? Mr. Clark may resign his office any day or he may be super- seded in case a ity of the Union Pacific stock passes out of the hands of the men who hold a controlling interest today. All these contingencies are within the range of possibility. Would any man entering into a deal with a great corporation in which the transfer of a million dollars worth of real estate is involved t the verbal pledges of the corporation managers A consideration for passing titles? Would they not only insist that all con- be embodied in black and white in a legally drawn document after it had been ratified by the board of directors or stockholders as the Iaw might requive? Why should the city council of Omaha nt course? Why should on relative to the joint 1 depot facilities at be engrafted in the d made part of the propo- submitted to the voters? Why should not also the verbal pledge to finish the depot according to original plans be embodied in the ordinance with the further precaution that the con- v iee of title shall not pass out of the hands of the mayor until the structure has been inspected by the Board of Public Works and the city engineer, and found to be constructed in conformity with the original plans and specifieations? Aud this brings up another question: Where are those plans and specifiea- tions now and who is to judge what modifications and changes - authorized by the Hascall ordinance are proper and permissible? If there is to be no jugglery in this deal why not insert such safeguards as any rational business man would insist on in any contract that involves interests of such magnitude? m 5 proy nsfer rites use of t reasonable ovdinance sition Governor McKinley has every reason to feel proud of the reception aceorded him in Omaha. The vast throng that greeted him at the Coliseum included people of all political parties. Their presence there was largely a personal compliment to Mr. MeKinley, for they had applause for nobody but him. Reference to other distinguished repub- lican leaders clicited but faint signs of recognition and the dramatically timed entrance of the tattooed candidate at the hiead of the republican state ticket fell flat so far as exciting enthusiasm was concerned, and failed to stimulate enough noise to even interrupt the speaker for a second. It was a dis- tinetly MeKinley meeting and the moment MeKinley stopped talking the audience would stay to listen to no one We venture that few, it can - statesmen other than MeKinley could attract a nilar crowd for a speech in this cit else, to sn) When the free silver advocates of Ohio try to prove that the relative pro- duetion of gold and silver has for 400 years prior to 1872 been not qu 5 of silver to 1 of gold, and since 1873 not to exceed 16 of silver to 1 of gold, they prove altogether too much for their cause. Their chief argument for the im- mediate restoration of the free coinage of both gold and silver at the old ratio is that gold has appreciated because of insufficient production. Now, their claim that there has been no overpro- duction of silver in comparison with gold earries with it the logical conclu- sion that there has been no underpro- duction of gold in comparison with sil- ver. In branching out in this direction the Ohio silverites have gone beyond their depth. Deluye ! in Teansmission.

There ecan be no fanning into the flame of war of any of the smoldering firebrands In eastern Europe as long as Russia resolutely forbids hostilities, and there is no doubt that while the malady of the emperor progresses to it appareatly inevitable end his ministers wil} @0 everything in their power to preserve peace. In no other great country of Europe does the person of the soverelgn weigh so heavily as it does in Russia in the scale ot policy, domestic and foreign. The czar I8 the head of the church and the *Little Father” of his people. His liness is a na- tlonal peril, and his death is always a pro- found shock to the masses. It would be al- most impossible to drive Russia into so momentous a venture as a great war while her ruler is fighting for his life against a deadly disease. If the inclinations of the heir to the throne are as strongly German as European advices assert, then it may be further predicted that the position and in- fluence of Russia are to become more favor- able, in the near future, to the maintenance of peace than the attitude of that country ever has been in recent years. Should the czarowitz make it clear, on his elevation to the throne, that henceforth France will have nothing to hope from Russia, there will be no chances of un aggressive movement on tho part of the French republic toward the Triplo Alliance, and Germany will be safe from attack as long as she pursues the peace- ful course which has tely been followed. The outlook for the peace of Europe has never been better than it is now, and it is difficult to see wherein any country of im- portance could hope to gain materially by precipitating a confliet so prodigious that the most warlike sovereign might well shrink from causing the explosion for which the world has long been waiting The grand duke Nicholas, who Is the heir apparent of the czar of all the Russias, is a good deal of an unknown quantity. He is young, under 30, has never taken any prom- inent position at the court of his father, and has heen debarred from politics and the army by official etiquet and inclination. He is said to be something of a student, and to have lived a tolerably cleanly life for a Russian prince, but not to impress observers as a man of a high order of intelligence or much force. Politically his leanings are said to be toward Germany and Austria rather than France, and toward England because of the alllance’ with the royal house of that a | country he is about to make by marriage. Princess Alix of Hesse, daughter of Prin- cess Alice of England and granddaughter of the queen, is to be the future empress of Russia, and she was to have been received into the Greek church this w as a pre- liminary to the marriage. The illness of (ke czar has caused the suspension of «ll wed- ding preparations, it is said. The dcubt seems to be general whether-the czarowitz las force of character enough to reign suc- cessfully over the great empire which his father rules, and this doubt is not the least of the causes of the widespread anxlety which the approaching death of the czar Is causing throughout Europe. Whatever oftect crar may have upon There are a good many interesting facts in the newly issued general report of the British Board of Trade upon the rafiréad accidents in the United Kingdom during 1893. It ap- pears that the total number of accidents to trains was forty-six, the lowest on record, and only about one-fourth of the number that used to occur twenty years ago, when the statistics were first collected. Within that time the number of passenger trains has more than doubled. There were seventeen passengers killed in 1803, or one in 51,000,000 journeys, and 484 were injured, or one in 1,804,000 journeys. These figures also estab- lish new low records. The four principal ac- cidents were due to fralns leaving the ralls. About one-half the accidents were caused by the negligence or mistakes of raflroad officers or servants, and seven were due to defective arrangement of signals. Only two were the result of a fallure of brakes, 1t Is satls- factory o note that the number of colll- sions from whatever cause is declining stead- fly. Taking all cases and classes of acci- dents into account, the report shows that | only one passenger 1s killed In 8,237,000 Journeys, and only one in 715,000 is injured. This fs the highest and worst estimate, for 1 in train accidents the immunity is vastly greater. P The political strife over the civil marriage bill in Hungary is not quite ended yet, for the bill in relation to the religion of children issuing from mixed marriages has yet to be passed In the Chamber of Magnates and must be adopted before the clvil marriage bill itself can become a law, as all these ecclesi- astical measures are to be presented together for the royal sanction. The irreconcilable altramontanes have rallied under the leader- ship of Count Ferdinand Zicny, and propose to make as much trouble as they can. Com- menting upon this state of affalrs, the cor- respondent of the London Times in Vienna says: ‘‘The present primate of Hungary is a high-minded patriot enjoying universal es- teem both in hig own country and in this part of the monarchy. He made a hard fight against the civil marriage bill, but, seelng that a prolongation of the strugele in con- nection with the measure now about to be submitted to the Chamber of Magnates would merely serve to keep up a dangerous agita- tion for no conceivable purpose, he has now pronounced himself in favor of religious har- mony, The irreconcilable ultramontanes have rallied around Count Ferdinand Zichy and re- fuse to lay down their arms. It is keenly felt at Budapest that anything like a repo- | tition of the unedifying debate to which the civil marriage bill gave rise would by no means tend to enhance the prestige of Hun- gary abroad or substantlate its reputation as one of the enlightened states of the continent. A large number of the magnates are them- selves desirous of avoiding a recurrence of such proceedings, and already efforts are bo- ing made to counteract Count Ferdinand Zichy's plan of campaign.” e According to a report just fssued by the Bank of England the liquidation of the great banking house of Baring, which came to grief three years ago, may now be regarded as completed. The labilities of the firm at the time of its collapse amounted, as it may be remembered, to some $120,000,000. By a Judlclous disposal of the assets, the Indebted- ness has been reduced to $10,000,000, and a syndicate has been formed in London for the purpose of taking over the remaining South American stocks not as yet realized upon by the Bank of England at a price that will more than cover the outstanding debt Inasmuch as these stocks are still rising in value, the syndicate expects to reap a hand- some surplus. The Old Lady of Threadncedle street deser every credit for the skillful nner in which she has brought this huge liquidation to a successful issue, her timely and courageous intervention having averted widespread ruin. Had there been any hurry in selling the mssets of the defunct banking house, Instead of making a waiting race, it would have been Impossible to carry this gigantic undertaking through in this manner without a serious hitch Another great waterway will soon be thrown open to commerce.

THE SER!JJE RESULTS What People Are Saylug About It and Mow It Was Foretold in Amerion Two Years Ago. LOKDON, Oct. 2.—Prof. Leyden of Berlin, the celebrated specialist, who was sent for by the ezar, haw dlagnosticated his allment as Bright’s dtseasc of the kidneys in an ad- vanced stage.—Press Oable. This announcement, simple as it m&? seamm, has thrown the nations of Europe into a state of excltement. If the czar dies France will probably suffer, Germany be helped and the nations of Europe unsettled. Two years ago this not of warning was sounded n Amerlca, 1t became known at that time that the czar was suffering from headaches, depressed feelings, acute pains * In various parts of the body, uncertaln ap- petite, sleeplessness and other irregularitie A retinue of court physicians failed to un- derstand what these unmistakable symptoms meant, but in America, where discovery and sclence have accomplished so much, if was Instantly seer that the czar was lufiefln‘ from Bright's disease of the Kkidneys, which Is certain to end in serious disease or death unless taken in time. Acting upon this knowledge the papers of America &poke freely of the fact that “the czar was in danger.” The natural result has come. Bright's disease, In an advanced stage, has attacked the lineal descendant of Poter the Great, and the nations of the world awalt with anxiety the result. Had the note of warn- Ing which was sounded in America been taken the health of the imperial monarch would today undoubtedly be perfect. The great modern malady s bright's disease. It steals like a thief into the system, shows ing the symptoms of nearly every disease, and different symptoms in each person. It Is the most dangerous of all known diseas whether it attacks men, women or innocent children. Tt is more insidious than con- sumption, and fully as fatal. Its great danger lies in its deceptive nature, for few people realize that they are its vieti until it 18 too Iate. Indeed, there are cases where men and women have died without dven sue- pecting they had the disease. There has never been but one remedy for it, although sclentists strove for years to find one. That remedy, which is known as a household word, which is the means of preserving the lives of s0 many thousand of men and women, which is the most popular remedy today, is Warner's Safe Cure. Physiclans, sclen- tists, the world in general, all admit this, and whether high or low, rich or poor, when any trouble of this nature attacks them fly at once to this great soverelgn remedy for relief. The trouble is that few people real- ize In time that they are suffering from Bright's disease. It is true they noticas they are not well, that they feel unnatural, that something Is the matter, but they do not understand how the canker of disease s feeding upon their systems until, alas! too often it becomes too late. The lesson which should come to all as it should have come to the czar two years ago is this—watch yourself carefully, = No- tice your condition. Observe your sympe toms. If your kidneys, liver, bladder or urinary organs are disordered, irregular or uncertain, If you feel a lack of life, & dim- ness of vision, a letting down of the vital forces; if indeed you observe in any degres that you are not up to the measure of health which you formerly had it is the sure sign of Bright's disease. If you have these feels ings do not delay for an instant, but put yourself into perfect condition without delay. This you can do if you only will, . This the czar could have done two years ago. There Is danger in delay, but there s safety in promptness and care. Don’t pay money for water!
