The Ohio eampaign will be fought on national issnes, with the taviff ques- tion at the front, the democratic state convention ing renounced the posi- tion of the party ou the silver ques- tion twe s yenr: and last year. What the sentiment of the Ohio vepub- licans is vegarding the taviff is shown in the speech of Semator Sherman. ‘What we mean to do.and will do when we have the power,” he said, “is to provide a faviff and tax bill that will yield sufficient revenues to sup- port the government and at the same time protect all home industries im- partially and effectually.” He pointed out the contrast between the two polit- ical parties when in power, the repub- lican party steadily reducing the public debt, while under the present demo- eratic administration it has been stead- ly inereased, due to the democratie as- ult on the proteetive policy. e de- clared the present tariff law to be a bundle of inconsistencies, which it is the intention of the republican party to remedy as soon as it shall be given the power to do so. There has been some speculation as to issues in the national eampaign of next year. There can be no doubf as to what the chief issue will be if the voice of the republicans of Ohio hag any polency in making it, and unless there is an unexpected change of condi- tions that issue will L pted by republicans everywhere, If there be not within the next ten months such an improvement in the revenues of th government as will bring the receipts up to the expenditures and put a stop to deficits and the danger of more bond issues, no other question will take prec- edence of the tariff. The American people will not o on supporting a pol- icy the result of which is not only in- sufficient revenue, but a large reduc- tion in jmportant domestic industries and increased importations of foreign products. The demoeratic tariff in its first twelve months of operation has brought about a deficit of $64,000,600 and there is every reason to expect that this sum will be largely increased during the current fiscal year. The last republican tariff in its first year of operation yielded a revenue of hout $:35,000,000 more than the reg- ular expenditures. Importations are pouring in and gold is going out, mak- ing a situation that is not only embur- rassing to the treasury but a menace to the credit of the government. The intelligent voters of the country know what is responsible for all this and they know it will not be remedied while the democratic party is in posi- tion to prevent remedial legislation. o expression and OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN. Next week the Spanish government will pay to the United States $1.500,- 000 in full settlement of the Mora claim, which has beef pending for some eighteen yea It is a singular fact that although Spain years ago acknowl- edged the justice of this elaim and pay it, and although the interest, since acerued, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, has been remitted, there are some who criticise our government for insisting at this time, when Spain Is eng el in trying to retain its despotic hold upon Cuba, upon having Mora paid what Is justly due him. A eriticism of this kind on the part of Spaninrds is of course natural, but that any American should find fault with his government in the matter is difficult to understanu. Spain had abundant opportunity to pay the claim since she agreedl to do so in 188G and her failure to do so worked great injury and hard- ship. to the claimant, an Americ citizen. Tt may be true that our govern- ment should have been more persistent in the past, but the fact that Spain is now engaged in-the effort to put down an insurrection does not furnish a valid venson why this government should have permitted further and indefinite delay in the payment to one of its citizens, who bas suffered privations beeause of the worng done him by the Spanish govermment, of a claim which it was agreed nine years ago should be pald. No one can say when the Cuban insuwrrection will end, or how. The last one run through ten years. Would it have been just to Mora to have compelled him to wait for the money au indefinite time, pending the result of the conflict in Cuba? Is it the duty of the government to take into consideration a contingeney of this kind in demanding the settlement of a clim of one of its citizens? If it were a4 new claim, one of recent date, the case would be somewhat different, but it has been ruuning for years, during which Spain was at peace and could have settled it without embarrassment to her treasury Spain has berself to blam recent course of our government in this matter. She has not been honest and straightforward in her relations with the United States. She has tem- porized over many claims and declined to make restitution after a commission ereated in 1886 made favorable re- ports upon five out of eleven claims of American citizens for reimbursement for losses sustained by the destruetion of their property in Cuba. Her policy in respect to these matters has been essentially dishonest and it was time that eur government gave her to un- derstand that that sort of thing had gone far enough. Our own self-respect for the required this. Very likely the effect will be to make the Spanish people (WEDN ESDAY, street depot abortion which | it does less friendly to the United States, but |not propose to clinrge to profit and loss they bave never had any very cordial “ nccount. friendship for us, and at any rate this conntry could mot afford to purchase | Spanish good will at the cost of duty even the humblest of its citizens, We should faithfully observe all our obligations toward that country and should firmly insist that all obii- gations dne this country from Spain be strietly fultilled. It is quite pos sible that the future relations of the lconntries will be somewhat stralned Ihere is reason to expect that seoner or later Spain will make demands upon the United States for indemnity, what- ever the result of the insurrection in Cuba. In that ense this country will undoubtedly do whatever justice and its duty require, A REMARKABLE REMONSTRANCE. The remonstrances filed by the Bur- lington, Milwaukee and Rock Island Iroad companies against the contract agreed upon between the Union Pacific receivers and the Omaha Ternginal company contemplating the erection of n unfon. passenger depot at the foot of Farnam street ave in many respects unique and remarkable. The Burlin; ton company sets out as the basis of its protest the compuct entered into six years ago with the Union Pacific rail- road whereby the managers of these companies organized themselves into a union depot company with the grounds donated by the city of Omaha to the Union Pacific railroad, to be ritalized at $1,500,000 in stock, of which one- half was to be owned by ench of the two road: It was the intention of the promoters of this scheme to issue $1,000,000 of depot bonds, expend about one-third of that sum in a station and train sheds, and the residue was to be placed to the eredit of the stock- holders. On this point, however, the Burlington remonstrance is discreetly silent. According to the Burlington remon- strance the consummation of the old union depot project was stopped and prevented by the Stubt injunetion. The truth is the Stult injunction simply resteained the ity of Omaha from handing over the $150,000 of bonds which had been illegally voted for the onstruction of the Tenth street via- duct. The courts held that the rail- rouds were hound to pay for all via- ducts made necessary by their tracks. In the Burlington rémonstrance the as- sertion is made that $250,000 had been expended on the unfinished depot Luild- ing. As o matter of fact not over $60,000 has been actually expended on that structure. The balance of what- ever money has been paid out by the two railroads was for the erection of the Tenth street vinduct. That viaduct had become an absolute necessity for the lronds as well as for the public. By building that viaduct the roads ac quired for their own use the whole of Tenth street spanned by the viaduct. The pavement of that part of the street alone cost $27,000. The strip of land 2,500 feet long and 100 feet wide, computed at $50 a front foot on Tenth street, would be equal to $125,000. This alone almost equals the entire cost of the viaduet. The abolition of the gates and flagmen and the liability to damages by reason of accidents that were of constant occurrence should within itself constitute ample compensa- tion to justify the outlay for the v du The assertion that the order of the court in the Stubt case stands in the way of the completion of the depot is as baseless as is the assertion that the old depot company had bound itself to give access to the depot grounds and depot on equal and equitable terms, to all railroads that desire to enter Omaha. This Is precisely what they refused to do. It is furthermore noto- rious that the original depot plans, which were certainly not extravagant, were materially altered, and the build- ing for which the foundation was laid is nothing more than a cheap railway station. There never has been any- thing in the way, and there is now nothing in the way, of completing the Mason streot depot, excepting the quit claim, which the promoters of that abor- tion have sought to bulldoze the people of Omaha into voting them, whereby for the sake of a Cheap Jobn station and sheds they would forego forever their right to enforce equal terminal facilities for all roads at reasonable rates. This has been the sticking point. If the Burlington road wants to proceed with the construction of the unfinished building there is nothing whatever to hinder it even though that building is not what a city of Omaha’s magnitude is entitled to, The plans for the proposed Farnam street depot contemplate the expendi- ture, outside of right-of-way, of fully $1,500,000 upon a union depot plant and will accommodate all the railroads that are here now or are likely to come her The plea of the Burlington that it would have to spend $10,000 a year to bring its passenger trains up to Farnam street should have no bearing upon the right of the Union Pacific receivers to agree to use that depot, The Burlington is not obliged to use the Farnam street depot unless it finds it advantageous to itself to do s0. Nobody will question its right to build a respectable station on its own grounds, The objections of the Milwaukee and Rock Island are not very serious. All they want is to have equal rights in the new depot to what they were to have had in the Mason street structure. Their intipation that they might have to build a depot of their own should have no bearing on the Union Pacific. The federal governwent and the bond- holders will certainly be more secure as creditors in consenting to the Far- nam street depot contract than they would in allowing the consummation of the old union depot scheme. In the one case the ¢ompany will retain the ownership of the Union Pacific depot grounds, which the Burlington estimates to be worth $1,500,000; in the other case the Union Pacific depot grounds will be gobbled by an outside ring known as the Union Depot company, id the se- curity of the ereditors fmpaired by so much., The B. & M. rallroad company has invested a sum of money in the Masap As o matter of fact the amount paid’ Gut by the Burlington | rond for the seventli-rate station which {1t fntended tg, pulm off on Owaba as (a grand unipn depot has more than been offset alrendy by the interest | charge and cost of maintenance which would by riehts have fallen upon tl Burlington rond' had the depot been completed. AY i matter of fact, als the Union Depot company, of whos stock the Burlington is balf owner, has been collecting depot rental from other Towa railroads for the use of the sky parlor and imwigrant shed as if the great depot had actually been built. That vental alone would have paid for the foundations of the new depot once every three year Unique propositions constantly con- front our judicial tribunals. . The United States court of this district has been asked to assess damages against the electrie motor lines for the depre- dations of vagrant electricity upon the mains of the water works company in the streets of the city. Here are pre sented some novel points of law. N precedents have been set to help e termine the measure of damages if any. It will remain for the water com- pany to prove by expert testimony or otherwise to the satisfaction of the average jury that some of the elec. tricity which charges the rails and wires of the motor line is constantly inducted to the water mains five to ten feet beneath the surface, and it this ean be scientifieally proved the fact must be established that vagrant elee- trietty accelerates decay of these pipes and that but for the proximity of motor wires and rails the mains would be in prime condition. It is an entircly new phase of jurisprudence and the case just filed will be watched with extriordinary interest by every fran- chised corporation running pipes under the streets aud by the electrical world at large The World-Herald persists in report- ing the proceedings of the police com- mission as proceedings of “the defunct board,” although everybody knows that the Broatch-Vandervoort body doesn't pretend to issue orders to the police or regulate its discipline, Until the su- preme court shall render its decision the present police board must n sarily hear all complaints of violations of police regulations and con- sider all applications and remou- strances avising under the Slocumb law. The course of the World-Herald simply invites resistance to the legal authorities and insubordination in the police and firc departments.

But when this is done the compensation of the railway postal clerks should be increased.

Uncle Sam protests when the unspeakable Turk murders Christian men in the far east. Will he stand by and see women and chil- dren butchersd by Spanish soldiers almost in sight of our shores?

The report says: “They were killed by Spanish bravos In uniform, acting under the orders of Garrido, tha Spanish com. mander of the garrison.

Because the British admiralty has taken the modern war ship Nymphe from the Pa- cific station and replaced her with an older and less formidable vessel, It is surmised in some quarters that England’s new ministry is disposed to let Hawali alone and turn her attention to more profitable fields near home, This Is bullding a heavy structure on a slender foundation. Great Britain never vol- urtarily abandons any policy of aggrandize- ment. She Is land hungry, and no handful of barren rocks in a watery waste are too insignificant for her ‘to annex. If she is not bothering herself about Hawaii the reason is evidently that she is concerned about more important matters. led. —r————— Docks for the New Navy, Philadgiphia Record.

It Is estimated at noon that between 30,000 and 40,000 strangers are in the city and they are still coming by train loads and in vessels. The streets are nearly impassable. Senator Sherman, Gov- ernor McKinley, General Jones. Chairman Kurts and delegations from Columbus and the northern part of the state arrived at 11 and 11:30 ExGovernor Foraker and delegations from Cincinnati and soutbern Ohlo arrived at about the same time and the distinguished guests were dined by General Bushnell at his home. The parade began forming promptly at 12 o'clock. The procession Is nearly two miles long. Fully 8,000 men were in line. The parade moved a little after 1 o'clock and arrived at the fair grounds a little after 2. Speaking began a little before 2:30. Chair- man J. D, Goodwin, clerk of the county cen- tral committee, called the meeting to order. Senator John Sherman was the first speaker. In his address he compared the republican and democratic parties and closed as follows: COMPARING THE RECORDS, ¢ debt contracted has been promptly met and every promise made has been ful- filled. The great debt existing at the close of the war, which alarmed the fehrs of the timid, has 'been constantly diminished and the whole of it would be pald before due if the republican party had been continued in power. The striking contrast between the two great parties in our country when in power is that the republican parly steadily reduced the debt and the democratic party constantly increases it day by day, o that during the present adminfstration |t has in- creased over $185,000,000 and that increase will continue while that party is in power. This administration came into power by the delusive cry for reform. The alleged reform they have attempted is the rep of the McKinley tariff and the enactment of the Wilson tariff. This measure came to the senate in such form that it was de- nounced by democratic senators and radi- cally changed in the senate. It was in sueh form that the president refused to sign it and It became a law without his signature. Its first fruit was insufficient revenue. It was full of inconsistent provisions. Its most important provision was held by the su- preme court to be unconstitutional. Tt sacri- ficed at ane blow the sheep industry of th United States. Our democratic friends nounced me for voting for a bill in 1883 that reduced the duty on wool from 12 tc 10 centa a pound, though T had opposed the reduction, ‘and now they are called upon to suppoft a measure making wool duty free. When 1 appealed to Senator Bric my ' colleague, and the other democratic to prevent this injustice, they said vool was a raw material and that it was a dogma of the demoeratic party that aw materials should be admitted free Coal and fron ore are raw ma- nd were by the house bill free, but these raw ma- terlals were 'being developed in_ the south and by the vote of southern demo- crats a protective duty was put upon them by the senate bill. But wools, chiefly the product of northern farmers, was made duty free. Any democratic Senator could have ~ prevented this injustice. When pressed with their Inconsistency they said they must make some raw material duty fre¢ to represent democratic principles and selected wool for that purpose. The whole Dill as it became a law was a bundle of inconsistencies. What we mean to do and will do when we have the power, is to pro- vide a tariff and tax bill that will vield sufficient revenues to support the govern- ment and at the same time protect all home industries impartially and effectually. The McKinley law, with such changes as time may make necessary, will accomplish this purpose. The anticipation of such a measure already brightens the times and the election next year of McKinley or any good republican as president of the United States will make assurance doubly sure. In the meantime we want a_republican legislature and the election of Governor Foraker or any good republican as United States senator.” This is the duty that as- sembles you here, After Senator Sherman's address had been completed Governor McKinley was Introduced. He received an ovatlon at the hands of his fellow citizens and his address was received with hearty enthusiasm. BOOSTED THE FORAKER BOOM. After calling upon Ohio republicans to stand by their principles in triumph as they had in adversity, Governor McKinley pre- sented an historical sketch, showing that ©Ohio has established her right to be called a_republican state. He spoke particularly of the senatorial elections. He sald: “From 1861 to 1869, the republicans had two sena- tors—Wade and Sherman. This year, 1805, Wwe are going to resume our righiful place. Mr. Foraker will take the seat of Mr. Brice. Ohio republicans are united firmly and res- olutely on that proposition. We intend to give Senator Sherman a republican col- league. “While the democracy has not de- elared its preference ‘in the open,’ It Is well understood . that ~Mr. Brice is it candidate. The republicans have formally, officiully and in hearty good faith, in state convention led, “declared their prefer- ence for senator to be Joseph B. Foraker, and_the choice of the ‘convention will be ratified in Navember, and he will be elected {0 pucceed Mr. Brice. The republicans are to be congratulated that they have no rival candidates for the United States senator- s By du terials admitted We have no contest umong ourselves, Our contest is entirely with the democratic party. We have but one candidate and he enjoys the great distinct: of having the endorsement of the last republican state convention, an endorsement given without division of dissent, unanimously and en- th and’ the distinction is one far as I can recollect, is excep- tional in the history of the republican party of Ohio. "1 cannot enjoin upon the peopln of the state too strongly or too earnestly the importance of electing a republican leg- islature, which elects a republican United States senator. There is nothing before us this year at all to be compared In impor. tance with our legislative election, 'he legislative ticket must have our especial concern, and command our undivided sup- tlurL In the present political divisions of he senate of the United States, which are extremely close, a single senator may de- termine “the political complexion of that body." Tinmediately after speaking Governor Me- Kinley left for the Grand Army of the Re- public encampment at Louisviile. MONROE DOCTRINE DISCUSSED. Ex-Governor Foraker addressed himself to national issues. Concerning the Monroe doe- trine he sald: This plan 80l tio d, after was offered in the committee %, and by that committee re- full discussion and considera- It was again offered by General Finley in the convention as “an independent instru- ment. The convention rejected it three different times before it fnally, after a long debate, adopted it as a supplement to the platform. Ny I mention this because there Is much significance attached to the manner in which this resolution was pressed upon the convention and finally adopted by it. No republican convention that ever sat in Ohio or any other state of the union wouki have hesitated for one moment to adopt such a declaration. Such resolutions are to be found running through all our party lit- erature. The Monroe doctrine is American: it is patriotic, and the republican party is always true to both its letter and spirit Why did the democratic party hesitate to adopt this resolution? Simply because Mr. Cleveland, in his administration of our for- cign affairs, has notoriously disrexarded the requiremenis of this doctrine, especially so as to Nicaragua and Venezuela. His course in both these cases has been so unpatriotic, un-American and Indefensible as to bring shame to the ks of all Americans, and to excite resentment in the minds of the great masses of the American pu*h- without regard to [mrly difference he purpose of the resolution was to cover the party from attack on this point.

MADE A POOR INVESTMENT. General Bushnell spoke from business point of view. It was practice of business men In taking inventory of their business every year and estimating blunders, mistakes and mismanagement, for illustration and com- parison. He said that the election of Grover Cleveland for president, with a democratic congress, had turnnd out to be a very profit- less Investment for thomselves and for the wholo country. This was the keynote of his briet speech He charged that in two and a halt years of power the democratlc administration had in- creased the natlonal debt $300,000,000 in bonds, interest and deficlencles. Such man- agement In private business would not be tolerated and a party putting ftself and coun- try in this predicament should be remaved from power. In his declaration of principle ha sald: “I desiro to express my entire approval of each and every portion of the platform adopted at the Zanesville convention, While the fact that the declarations of a republi- can convention should be accepted by, and become the political faith of, every repub- lican, and should therefore be 5o regarded by me, 1 desire in addition to say that I have no inciination to take from or add to any of the principles there laid down, but am proud to stand upon the platform and go with you to the great victory that awaits us, DEMOCRATS them, ihat it has a illing opean a the STONE STATE.

Reed, Internal Reve- nue Collector William H. Doyle, Un'ted States Appraiser Charles E. Ingersoll of Philadelphia and a number of local leaders from that city.

A large delegation arrived from Wilkesbarre in the interest of the candidacy of Asa Brun- dage for a judicial nomination, It s said there will be a number of candidates for the six judgeships. The court consists of sevon judges, and as the republicans have nomi- nated only six the democrats are sure of electing one man. The present democratic member of the court, Julge McCarthy of Philadelphla, is being opposed by a portion of the delegation from this city, but his friends here are working very hard in his interest. e e THE PASSING SHOW, Clncinnati fs arranging to entertain a eon- vention of haymakers.
