The season is several weeks in advance and the chances of rain and a fair erop are by no means as desperate as they ap- pear. The extra session of the Missouri legislature brought forth a legislative appropriation bill for $80,000 and the prospect of a grand jury investigation into alleged legislative corruption. Ne- braska was lucky to get rid of “her legislature as cheaply as she did. At 72 years of age John Sherman is as virile and vigorous mentally as he was twenty years ago and age has not lessened Lis devotion to the republican party and its principles. Senator Sher man's address to the Ohio republican convention is a terse and earnest pre- sentation of the claims of the republican party to popular confidence and support and will commend itself to republicans everywhere. There is no ambiguity in the declarations of the veteran st man regarding the currency, “We are in vor of a sound national currency,” he says, “always redeemable in coin.” Referring to free silver Senator Sher- man said that the great hardship of this policy would fall upon the working- men, skilled and unskilled, whose daily wage, measured by the present stand ard, is higher than that of any country In the world, This is a consideration which ought to make of every wage earner in the land an opponent of the free, unlimited and independent coin- age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. It Is perfectly safe to say that the Ohio republicans will follow the counsel of Senator Sherman, whose advice {hey have always found to be wise and sound, and in the campaign of this year will take an uncquivoeal position in favor of sound money, as they did twenty years ago when the greenback craze was at its height, tos- The police and fire commission has drawn up a formal requisition for en- larged water mains and a duplicate main from the pumping station at Flor- ence. This requisition is to be sub- mitted to the council for action with other suggestions for improved fire fighting facilities. What the fire com- misslon expeets to accomplish by the requisition is not patent. The nec sity for eunlarged mains and Dbetter service has been pointed out by the mayor, city engineer and chief of the fire department on various occasions, but nothing tangible could be accom- plished so long as the water works are operated under the direction of r celvers and foreclosure proceedings are pending In the federal court. If the ety could take the responsibility of making the most needed improvements under divection of the Board of Publie Works and paying for them out of the funds now held back for hydrant rental the demands of the poliee and fire com- mission would be complied with. It 18 a question, however, whether the clity can expend the rental fund regard- less of the charter provision that pro hibits the use of any fund for any pur pose excepting that expressly desig- nated in the tax levy, and it ‘is also doubtful whether the city could divert the fund so long as its controversy ov the rental s pending in the state courts. Manifestly the requisition of the fire and police commission was, therefore, superfluous. Appavently the only way out of the dilemma is through the fed- eral courts. If the court ean be con vineed of the absolute necessity of im medinte aetion it will order the receiv ers to proceed with the fmprovements.

As a jurist ] f al benel probably no other judge in the country had so much to do with railroad corp tions. He acquired na- tional fame for the fair and fearless way in which e protected stockholders and the public from the machinations of unscrupulous managers. As post- ster general and secrefary of the t sury in the administration of Presi- dent Arthur, Mr. Gresham showed a high order of administrative ability. He was an earnest advocate of postal tolegraphy and urged congress to adopt the system. Just what motive induced lim to accept the position of secretary of state in the Cleveland cabinet will bly never be known, but the racter of the man warrants the as- sumption that there was nothing un- hy in it and that he did not ae- until he was convineed of the en- propriety of doing so. His cours as secretary of state has been much iticised, but that he sought to pe form his arduous duties conscientiously all fair-minded men will be ready to concede. No man ever had a truer sense of the dignity and honor of his country and there can be no doubt of his honest and earnest desire at all times to conserve these and to maintain international policy on long-established lines., Mr. Gresham was a man of strong convictions and he had the courage of them at all times and under all eir- cumstances, He was a sincere and nk man, who had no concealments 1 none of the policy of the politician. e was a man to be trusted, to com- mand and to justify confidence. He was devoted to his friends and he boldly confronted his enemies. In the truest and highest sense an American, he loved his country and its institutions and his sympathies were with the people. Public office did not spoil him, as it does o many other men, by caus ing him to forget that he was the se vant of the public. Upright and honor- ble in every relation Walter Q. Gres- am feared ueither censure nor traduction and no amount of opposition or ecriticism turned him from a course which he believed to be right. His) personal integrity is perhaps best at- tested by the fact that while having s many opportunities as come to get rich he died without fortune, leaving to the wife and children who survive him little beyond the heritage of a Dlame- less and useful life. The name of Walter Q. Gresham has an assured and honorable place in the history of his country. WORKING FOR HARMONY. There was a meeting of the demo- eratie editors of the state of New York last week and one of the things they did was to issue an address to the nocratic voters of the state, urging unity and harmony. This confession that the democracy of the Empire state is not united and harmonious is an honest one. It is probably true that there has never been a time in the lis- tory of the party when these two de- sirable and essential conditions to the life of a political organization were more greatly needed than now. Not only in the state of New York but in every state the democratic party 1s split into warring factions and there is wrangling and discord among its leaders and newspaper organs. There is no public question as to which it is not divided and the only things for which the party stands together are power and the spoils of office. The effort to harmonize the de- moeracy of New York will be interest- ing, beeause that state may again be the pivotal state in the next presi- dential election. The hope of those who are pushing the movement for har- mony rests upon the alleged bad record of the republican legislature which re- cently concluded its labors. Scandals, extravagance, partisan attacks on municipalities and a failure to carry out promises of reforms are charged against the legislature, and it has to be admitted that for some of them there is substantial ground. New York re- publican newspapers admit that the legislature did not do all it might have done in fulfilling the pledges of the party, and also that some of the things it did would better bave been left un- done. But the voters will compare tl record of the republican legislatur with that of democratic legislatures, particularly the one that put David B. Hill in the United States senate, and in doing this they will not find the com- parison disadvantageous to the repub- licans, Granting all the shortcomings alleged against the latter and they are still able to make a more creditable howing than the demoerats when in control of the legislature. It was the utterly indefensible conduct of the democrats, under the leadership of Hill, that swept that party from power last year and the people have not forgotten that conduct, nor will they be induce to forget it by the charge that the re publican legislature did not do its full dut; They know that golng back to democratic rule will not improve matters, The demoeratic party has never been In a much worse condition that it is at this time and it is not clear how it ean improve—how settle the differences and mendable. | e that converge at Oma this city has been bottled up by the | The ra iize the party o would be gogues and HOW OMAHA IS BOTTLED UP, The World-Herald is doing some good work in supplementing the demand for improved mail facilities out of Omaha which was begun last winter by The Bee and carried into the halls of con- .

For several weeks past the organ of the howling dervishes has been making Rome howl over the outrage that was perpetrated upon the taxpay Douglas county fin the sale of the county poor farm. The sale of the poor farm is denounced as a conspira gers of between the Romanist county commis- sioners, K. W. Simeral, then county at- torney, and a horde of land sharks who in some way were instigated by Rose- water to invest in the land which the courts have recently declared to have been unlawfully decded because of a lack of two-thirds of all the votes cast at the election. This terrible tale of fraud and con- spiracy happens, as it were, to be an impudent fake conjured in the imagina- tion. It might have served as a good enough Morgan in the impending cam- palgn had it not been sprung too early. The records in the court house flatly contradict every allegation. The fivst proposition to divide the poor farm and sell a portion of the land was submitted to a vote of the people in 1885 and defeated by an overwhelming vote. The second proposition was sub- mitted at the general election held No- vember 2, 1 The proclamation was issued by I. W. Corlis George I Timme and R. O'Keeffe, county commis- sloners, of whom I. W. Corliss was chairman. The Romanists were mani festly in the minority on the board. The “great Dlunder,” if there was any blunder, which is charged at the door of B. W. Simeral as part of the con- spiracy, happens as it were o be charge- able elsewhere, General John €. Cowin was county attorney in 1886 and I3 W. Simeral had no more to do with draw- ing up the proclamation or the action of the commissioners than the man in the moon. If the conspiracy story really did have any foundation the howling dervish organ will have to divect its Roman ndles at an entively different set. There could have been no gain for any- body in issuing proclamations. It must have been made in the sale of the lands. What do the records show on that score The sale did not take place until 1887, In 1887 Corliss was succeeded by W. J. Mount and Timme became chairman of the board, and in 1888 L. M. Anderson came into the board. So the Romans were still in the minority and the con- spiracy must therefore have been per- petrated by a different set. The truth of the matter is that the bowling dervishes have uncovered a hornet’s nest, and if anybody is stung it will be one of their own precious crowd. A CENTRAL AMERICAN UNTON. It appes that a practical step has been taken looking to the formation of a Central American union. Our govern ment has been informed of the negoti- ation of a treaty between Honduras and Nicaragua which creates an alli an offensive and defensive, between those countries, obliterates commercial frontiers and provides for arbitration in case of controversy between them. Both countries pledge themselves not to consider the other Central American countries as foreign, and also to labor to bring those countries together as one nation. As a preliminary move in this divection the other countries of Central Americn will be asked to sign the treat It has been reported ever since the course taken by England toward Nicaragua that a strong feeling had de yeloped among the people of the Cen- tral American states favorable to union or to an alliance which would amount practically to the same thing. The nego tintion of this treaty coniivms the re- port so far as the parties to it are con cerned, but whether the feeling t prompted this arrangement is shared in to such an extent as will lead them to subseribe to the treaty remalns to be seen.
