This is an “off year" in politics, but none the less a great deal of interest will be taken In the results of the cam paigns In several of the twelve states in | which elections will be held in Novem | ber, from the fact that they will in | some sense foreshadew the verdict in the national contest of 1806, The fol lowling states will hold elections Novem ber Kansas, Nebraska, Ken | tucky, ind, Mas sissippl, New York, N Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The terri | tory of Utah will also vote on that date | for its state officers, a representative in | congress and a legislature, which will | be entitled to choose two United States | senators, Political interest wi'l center upon those states whose eampaigns will be carvied on upon distinetly national jsstes, as New York, Pennsylyania, Ohlo |and Towa, all of which are now regaided as cortain to be carried by the repub. licans, But there are factional conflict among the republicans of three of these the effect which may be to materially cut down the majorities of the party in the last elections, and this, taken in connection with the fact that in an off year a great many voters are indifferent, venders it quite possible that the result in some of these states may ! be much closer than republicans gen Iy desive, There very strong feeling between the Platt and the anti Platt ¢'ements in New York, and as the | most important featu the election | n that state is the choosing of a legis- lature that will elect a United ator to succeed David B, Hill th ctional quarrel may result in keeping two demoerats in the fonal senate from the BEmpire state. There is also a factional fight in Pennsylvania, with Senator Quay and Governor Hastings 1s leaders of the warring factions, the use of the conflict being the desire Quay to be made chairman of the republican state committee. The con flict is characterized by a good deal « bitterness and it seems probable that the party must suffer from it, thongh there is little reason to doubt that the republicans will carry the state. In Ohio there Is considerable feeling be tween the MeKinley and Foraker ele ments, but this is not likely to have any | marked effect upon the election, though it may have upon MeKinley's chanees for the presidential nomination. Bush nell, the republican candidate for gov ernor, whose nomination was regarded as a Foraker victory, has unequivocally mounced himself in favor M- Kinley as a presidential candidate and undoubtedly the factions will harmoniz 20 far as the state ticket is concerned. In any event the attitude of the Ohio democracy on national questions assures its overwhelming t. Besides these a great deal of politic interest is centered on Kentucky, where it is believed the republicans have more than a fighting ee of winning. A conservative view of the situation suggests that while republicans have popular sentiment with them and the odds are on their side they should not be overconfident. The great success of the last year. it should be horne in mind, was due to conditions which will not be so potent this year and everywhere the party will find it the part of wisdom to make the campaign vigorous and ive | states, of is o of of states A VERY GOOD SIGN The fact that during the first half of the current year the number of new textile mills constructed in the United States was considerably larger than for the corresponding time last year is cortainly o very substantial evidence of restored confidence in that depart ment of industry. During the remark- ably prosperous y 1802 the num- ber of textile mills built was , that it seems probable the record of that year will be broken, a result which everybody would gladly welcome, Such evidence of enterprise is always cheer- ing, and it is especially so after a pro- longed period of defression. It is in- teresting to note that the south takes the lead in the construction of mills, which shows that tion be fully alive to the improving conditions, though probably the larger part of the capital invested in these enterprises comes from the north. Another inter- esting fact is that the projection of number of large cotton mills in M chusetts shows that there was no gronnd for the report some time ago that the tendeney of the textile industry was to leave New England and go south, The wth of this industry will | sive strength to the cause of protec tion, and in the section of the country where it needs to be strengthened, the south. The new tariff bill made no al change in the duties on cot due to the influence of the cotton industry in the south, the inerease of this industry in that section the influence favorable to a sonable measure of protection will gre mger. On every aceount the building of cotton mills is a good thing ar of 80 to growin and with new CAN'T Bi EXPLAINED AWAY. Comptroller Olsen's only his official misdemeanor check up the cash in the ¢ office is that it was not customa be- fore or since his to otfice for the comptroller to 'ook into the treasur- er's vault or cash drawer. His to the charge of malfeasance ha “They all do it, and so long loses 1o mohey It 1s all right 3 the boudsmen of the late tr r will make up the shortage, who will make up the loss of interest to which the city was entitled on the funds diverted from the regular de- positories, and who will bear the ex- pense of the four examiners speclally retained to do the work which the comptroller was paid to do? The assertion that div defense of in failing to ty treasurer's scession mswer been, s the city there has been no sion of public funds from city de tories 1y contradicted by the veporis ma the comptroller and the new treasurer to the school board. On Ju’y 1 Comptroller Olsen reported to the Board of Education that there was on June 18 a surplus of $10,705.78 in the t it of the school fund. According to Treasurer Dumont | the | fund, DAILY B eredit of the school fund. The dis- crepancy between the statements of the treasurer and comptroller can be explained only by the assumption that mouey belonging to the city and on which the ity was entitled to interest was on deposit in outside banks draw- ing interest for the benefit of the tr urer alone. That this was the state of affairs is shown by the fact that although £14000 was drawn out of the school fund for interest on bonds within three days after the disclosure of defaleation and when there could not have heen over $9,000 in the school there was still on in three unapproved banks $21, diserepaney should and could have been uncovered by the comptroller without going into the cash draw if he had but exerciged reasonable diligence in the perfory of his dut real ¢ THi EXPOR CORN The promise of a large corn crop this year gives inferest to the matter of the export of this coreal, which has not grown in spite of the efforts made to induce a consumption of it by Europeans. According to the figures of the hureau of statistics for the year ending June 30 the decreased export of corn was about 60 per cent, the fighres for 1804 and 1805 being respectively 20,000,000 and 13,000,000 bushels. The higher price of corn last year in part explains the falling off in the foreign demand, but American corn as well American wheat now has to meet increased competition. Then the rela tively low price of wheat necessarily had the effect to cut off the demand for the other cereal. Is there any veason to expect an improvement in the export of corn in the near future? The probability is that if there Is any improvement it will be slight. It is estimated that the corn crop of the United States may reach 2,000,000,000 bushels this year, and it it should reach that amount there will, of course, be a tevial decline in the p which would doubtless have the effect to some ' xports, but these can not rected to increase very much s0 long as the price of wheat remains low, and there is not a wider difference between the price of corn and wheat than at present. But it seems like that in any event corn producers whe put any faith in the possibilities of a foreign market will dixappointed. It evident that Europeans cannot be induced or educated to eat corn and the foreign market will probably never take a great deal more than is required for the feeding of®stock. Bven for this se the demand the United S for the last two years has been light. With a crop of O larger m ice, on o very 100,000,000 bushe! even considerably less than that amount, the corn producers of this country will find it most protitable to feed the grain to cattle and hogs, and of course many of them will do this. The promise of e yield of corn is highly encouraging, but produce need mot count upon any benefit from the foreign market for this cereal, be cause there is nothing to indicate that there will be any material increase dur ing the next year in the demand for export. or 5 SECTARIANISM RUN MAD, Omaha has always taken great pride in her public schools, which rank with those of the acknowledged edueationial centers of the country. The excellence of our public schools has been chiefly due to the high standing of the men who have Dbeen charged with their supervi- sion and to the well-paid and competent corps of public school teachers. The tirst Board of Edueation which inaugurated the ITigh school cours after the completion of the magnificent High school building on Capitol squi gave to Omaba a superintendent of schools in 4the person of Prof. Nightin le, who laid the foundation of the modern school system which has since been improved and perfected by a line of eminent educators. Profs. Lane, James and Pitzpatrick each brought to his task years of experience, and each contributed to the full extent of his ability to the deveélopment of our pres ent public school system. Twelve months ago Omaha reluctantly parted with Prof. Fitzpatrick, and esteemed herself fortunate in securing as his suc- cessor Prof. Marble, a man of national veputation in educationdl circles. In accepting the appointment of superin- tendent of the Omaha public schools Prof. Marble acted upon the assurance that he would have a permanent posi tion so long as bis work p tis- factory. Under these conditions Dr. Marble had a right to expect not only loyal and cordial co-operation of the Dboard, but an endorsement by unop- posed re-election at the expiration of the y This doubtless would have been ae corded him had it not been for the plotting and star chamber scheming that fins made every place in our public ‘hoo's subservient to politieal ambition ad sectarian bigotry., From superin. tendent to janitor, from president of the board to stenographer, every person connected with pected to become a part of the political ma chine, Prof. Marble is not a politician and cannot be used to prostitute his position to political purposes. For this reason and because he does not belong to the oath-hbound junta of political pot rustlers who are trying to build up their political fortunes upon sectarian pro- seription in the public schools, he has been marked for slaughter. The true friends of the publie schools should remonstrate against this out- se. Vi The volunta ment of Mr. Harry P. Deuel from the railway serv- fee is notable event in local history.

The largest corn crop this ever produced was in 1389, was 2,112,892,000 bushels. The government crop report estimates this year's yleld at 2,353,000,000, or more than 140,000,000 above the best record. The estimate of the wheat crop is 408,000,000, though well informed ex perts believe that the harvest will show 30,000,000 bushels more than that amount.

SENATOR ALLISON: HIS BOOM, Sioux City Journal: It s a very high dis tinction to be named for the office of presi dent of the United States by a convention of one of the great parties.

Brooklyn Eagle: He s a clean, strong and able man, and has the advantage of not having been identified with any of the fac tional struggles of his party. If it were to hail from New York or Indiana, h's pro:pects of receiving the romna- tion would, of course, be greatly improved but even as it is, there is reason to believe that he would make about as good a race, if nominated, as any of his competitcrs, more especially as the political tide seems to be running in the direction of republican suc Globe-Democrat: If there should be any chasm in the republican party in 1896 on (h silver question Allison would be the man to bridge it over. There will be no such chasm however, The siiver question will not be usly discussed in the canvass, as both the great parties in their platforms and by their tickets will declare against free coln age. Nevertheless, Allison has strength cut- side his connection with the financs fesue His views on the tariff are as moderate those on silver and are shared by a much larger number of republicans and if the tariff ba the issue next year Allison might be a good man to put up to represent western ideas on this question. New York Sun: Hon. Allison is a shrewd and diplomatic gentle- man, excellently well preserved, dignified, sagacious, and handsome in a more or les tural way. He has the difficult art of si lence, and knows how to seem profound with- out committing himself when ticklish ques tions arise. His reputation for sobrioty of judgment is great in-tife senate, and he has the esteem of his colleagues. ~ He doesn't make speeches, except when he has some thing to say or thinks that something ought to be said; and then he speaks well and welghtily, = He is a type of the highly re spectable statesman who is never ahead of public opinion and means never to be behind it. He is not original and he is not brilliant, or, if he has originality and brilliancy, he has laborlously concealed those qualities. It would seem to have been the purpose of his lifo for some years to set forth those nega- tive virtues which make up the character or absence of character of the available man He is prominent, but not too prominent; well known, but not too well known.
