Tho grolind upon which the governor bases his refusal is that there was not a quorum of tlio sonata present at the joint meeting that made the elec-tion. The question will have to be decided by the senate, and it will be interesting to watch the course of the democrats and alliance men when the matter conies up. ADMISSION OF 1'Llt IlITOKILI. It is just a little nm using to read the Jcntltl's arraignment of the republican party in connection with the matter of the admission of the new states. Per-haps no party would be in haste about soiving a doubt as to a territory's quulilicalions for admission if there were reasons to believe (hat its vote would go against that patty. Wo do not suppose that any party that ever existed would ignore the question of politics; but the democratic party Is the only one that has refussd admission to a territory about which there- was no question, Dakota knocked at the door in vain with a population sulliuicut for three or four state.). When tho republicans elected a congressional majority in ISMS, the just claim of that region was granted after having been ignored so many years. This was dono by the democrats only because thuy Knew that the repub-licans would let the territory in in a few mouths. When tho republican con-gros- s met it proceeded to admit four more, Montana, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming. As to Arizona and New Mexico, there are grave doubts as to their qualifications. The former has a very scant population, and the latter has a population largely made up of ignorant Mexicans. Tho democrats are clnmorine fortheir admission becniiHo they are democratic; the republicans, no doubt, magnify the arguments against them for the same reason; but if either wero as clearly en-titled to admission as was Dakota dur-ing all the years that the democrats kept it out, the republicans would have opened the door to it. There is parti-sanship in tlin republican party, but that partisanship does not, as with the democrats, sti flu the unquestioned de-mands of justice. Democratic treat-ment of Dakota is a standing indict-ment ugainst that party upon which it will be adjudged guilty and condemned as often as public opinion shall be di-rected to it. amount can lie looked upon as more than a pitfanco and we don't blame the men for rebelling against tho injustice that is being done them or for their re-fusal to accede to tho companys terms; instead we rather admire them. The men did agree to accept a small reduc-tion in their pay, but the smelting com-pany insisted it should be in exact pro-portion to the decreased number of hours, which would leave tho wages graduated from $1.17 to $1.50 a day. There is cot nor can thera be any more laborious work than that about a smeller. The men who are engaged at it do not last long. Thov are weak-ened by the heat and poisoned by the Minolta and ftimas, and either die, or get old before their time. A fow years at most wears them out. We have al-ways thoughfthero .should bo a little humanity between man and man. One man can have no moral right to impose upon his neighbor and make hard con-ditions which he must accept or starvo. And we believe when the Omaha smelt-ers refuse to submit to the law and give their laborers a decent American days wages for a reasonable number of hours' work they are not doing the square thing, and they are not showing that degree of humanity lhat they ought to. Tim law may be unconstitutional, but somehow we hope tho courts won't think so for it is a inst nnn. No man should be compelled to hold hia head up to the doors of a blast furnace for twelve hours a day in order to make a living, and we do not think very kindly of tho men who compel him to do so. THE OMAHA LAHOlt IltOt BI.E, A strike or a lock-ou- t has been on in Omaha for some time. The trouble is between the Omaha & Grant Smelting company and its employes. The in-formation that has been sent out by tiie Associated Press concerning the diffi-culties has been very meagre, therefore tho most of our knowledge of the mat-ter is gathered from private dispatches. As we understand tho situation the last Nebraska legislature passed a bill prohibiting any corporation from com-pelling any of its employes to work as much as twelve hours for a day, and there wero certain penalties prescribed for violating it. This law went into effect a few days ago and the mou em-ployed by the smelting company de-manded that it be recognized and obeyed. The cutting down of the hours at tho smelters meant that the shifts would be changed from the twelve to the eight-hou- r day and that is just what the employes wanted. Tho smelting company refused to accede to the demands of its men or to really obey the law. The men were told that thore was no objection to their working eight hours but they must consent if they did to accept a reduction of 33 per cent iu their pay. This proposition was de-clined, and the men were locked out, the fires were permitted to die in tho furnaces s.nd nothing lias been done about the smelters for nearly two weeks. The men refuse to accept tha reduction in pay which tho smeltim company offers them because it would not, leave them enough to live on. The rate of wages paid is only t.t a day for the highest priced labor and $1.75 for the lowest. Certainly neither j I SPIRIT "OF "THE PRESS. The M' Kmloy Tariff. St. Louis Globe Democrat, The wisdom of the measure has been vindicated in a direct and palpable way. Trade has beeu made freer, aud at the same time protection has been made more effective. The importation of foreign products of a nature is facilitated rather than hin-dered, while tho home market is care-fully reserved for the home producer whenever he can supply what is wanted. This is what was promisedby the advo-cates of the McKinloy bill. They felt confident lhat it would prove a blessing to the country, and lime has shown that thou wmth riiWil Th ovirlunnn in linsi. live and conclusive in suppurt of the proposition lhat the new law has not harmed tho country in any particular, but has benefited it in several ways. Our foreign trade for the la.t fiscal year was the largest in all the history of the country. That does not look as if we were being shut out of desirable markets by our tariff policy. It indi-cates that we are extending our com-merce without sacrificing the advantage of our protective system, and that the duties have been decreased in such form as to give the people the whole gain in the matter. Tin Il.br.w Marug-taa- . Philadelphia I'ress. At a meeting of the executive board of the Jewish alliance of America in this city, Thursday evening, an excel-lent plan was decided on relative to the friendless and often penniless He-brew immigrants who come to this country. The accepted plan is to dis-perse the immigrants throughout the several states, apportioning an equal number for each stale, to provide im-mediate work for those who are skilled mechanics or laborers, and to purchase clieap arable lands for those whose ten-dency is toward farming. Tan Jewish alliance is thus doing some excellent and commendable work in the way of Americanizing their foreign brethren who come to these shores. The associ-ation deserves and will doubtless receive the support and sympathy of all who are desirous of seeing the immigration question settled on an equitable basis. Oov.rnm.nt Llijuar Dealing;. Chicago Herald. Under the proposed arrangement the government would have a monopoly of tho saloon business, the saloonkeepers would all be government agents and in the employ of the government, aud the liquor would be sold at cost to all thirsty people, and so the "liquor prob-lem" would be solved. It is not possi-ble to dispute that proposition because the liquor problem as the people's party understands it is not stated. If the problem is to supply the people with liquor at cost, no doubt the solution is satisfactory. If the problem is to pro-mote sobriety and put an end to crime and misery and degradation consequent upon the excessive uso of intoxicating liquors, the solution can hardly be re-garded as satisfactory. Upon any ra-tional detinition of the liquor problem the solution is preposterous. Could Not Get a Corporal's Guard. IiulTalo News: It is said by those who claim to bo in his confidence in the east that Grover Cleveland deeply regrets his late visit to this city. The activity of his former friends here immediately aftor his de-parture was sufficient evidence that ho came here to get the Old Guard to-gether. The complete rout by Dave Hill's Lieutenant Sheenan of the few Cleveland succeeded in getting together makes it painfully plain to the aspirant that he can count no longer ou a cor-poral's guard in western New York. And yet this is the man who once car-ried the state by nearly 200,000 ma-jority. Closing of mails, At S.lt Ink. (1T P. ., August IHDI. j. i. Mull fast :uua. ill.

Lowki.L. What greater mon-ument could any man wish for than is furnished by these messages of condol-ence. To be rocognized as a great leader of progressive thought aud as master in the literary field of this in-tensely progressive age, is certainly more to be desired than the passing fame of wealth. If any of our great million-aires were to die today there would be few messages of condolunce, there would be no manifestation of public grief and the only interest shown would be in connection with the distribution of his fortune. lint no man asks about the material wealth Lowell loft. Tha nation and tho world stand over his collin realizing that all tha people are richer, because of his work, in all that goes to make the race nobler, and that lie lias left an imperishable inheritance behind him to be enjoyed forever by all the sons and daughters of men. What a lesson the picture leaches! It is a lesson that every man can take borne to his own heart, Thero can be but few Lovvklls, but every man can do his work well; ho can devote bil best energies to the tasks which life brings to him, he can Jay his course by the compass of conscience, aud when his time comes to go over to the other shore he will leave a monument in tho hearts of the circle that had known him, be it large or be it small, that will shed an influence for good upon un-born generations. IKK CHOP t AIM'HE. It is universally admitted that the world's supply of wheat will be very short this year. Reports conflict as to tho extent of the failure, but there is no doubt that it is serious and that it will bring distress to the people of many sections. In addition the rye crop throughout Kuropo is also far be-low the average. The peasantry of central Europe rely very largely upon ryo, and tho failure of this crop will add to the distress. The condition of affairs is reflected in the issuance of the Russian ukase forbidding the exporta-tion of rye. The Germans were at lirst inclined to regard this as an at-tack upon them, as their fields also yielded scant harvests, but they rea-lize now that it was an act of self protection on the part of Russia. If the rye should go out of the country starvation would stalk in. and the Czar is simply endeavoring to rotaiu the means of subsisting his people until tho next harvest. What the outcome of this stato of allairs will ba uo one can tell. The condition of the potato crop has not been reported. Thore are districts in central Europe where the potato is as much of a staple as it is in Ireland. If there has been an abundant yield of the tuber, tho people in those sections will not actually suffer, even if bread shall be gcarue. No doubt much more grain will be found than the statisti-cians ligure ou, and we may hope to see the year pass without the actual ap-pearance of the gaunt figure of starva-tion in any land; but the universal scarcity admonishes governments and their people alike that care must be ex-ercised to husband their food resources. It is remarkable that in a year of widespread crop failure throughout all the rest of the world, the farmers of America should be harvesting the larg-est crops that have gladdened their eyes in years. An immense whoat crop has been garnered, and now the corn states are rejoicing in the prospect of a yield of that grain that will till all the cribs and all the warehouses that can be prepared to receive it. If blight had fallen upon American fields at this time, if the wheat crop had been 30,000,-00- bushels short and if the corn had been scarce instead of plenty, the result would have been disastrous to the world. As it is we have 100,000,000 bushels of wheat or more for export, and still Europe will be 50,000,000 bush-els short. Our great crop will give our farmers an immense advantage as they must secure high prices for their grain; nevertheless, the hope will be enter-tame- d that the necessities of other lands may not prove as great as represented, as America has fio desire to see starva-tion settled upon any people, even though it would add to the contents of the American purse.

The American Newspaper Publishers Asso-ciation has determined to lix the rela-tive merits of the various machines and all have been invited to enter in the proposed test. Tho tournament will last a week, and in results will no doubt be of the greatest importance to the publishing business. The type set-ting niaohine has come to stay. It is not yet perfect, but it can already do the work of several men in a satisfac-tory manner. The effect of the intro-duction of machiues will be to multi-ply newspapers and to improve thoso already in existence. At lirst glance it might appear that printers would be thrown oui of work by the general in-troduction of the machines, but the probability is that the groat expansion of the publishing business will make room for all. The public will be bene-fited by securing better papers, and people generally will, therefore, be in-terested witli the publishers in tho re-sults of this unique tournament. There is a rush of vendors anxious to secure privileges from the World's fair commissioners. As the probable measure of success of tho fair grows larger the value of these privileges in-creases, and the pressuro to secure them becomes inoro urgent. It is likely that a large sum will be realized from them, and it is also probable that the successful competitors will pay for them all that they are worth. Thk story which the telegraph gives us of the joy shown among the Chilean insurgents upon tho arrival of a cargo of arms aud ammunition is instructive. Thore is a deeply rooted impression in thia country that the cause of the rebels is just, and this idea is borne out by the spirit manifested by them when the ship loaded with munitions of war sailed into their harbor. People who aro so glad to secure arms with which to prosecute their cause must be thor-oughly convinced in their own minds that they are enlisted in a righteous undertaking. China has beon invited to take part in the World's fair, but now a question arises as to permitting her people to visit it. The exclusion act is not in-tended to prevent merchants and oth-ers of high degree from visiting the country, but thero seems to be no way provided to prevent laborers from get-ting in on the claim that they aro vis-itors. It has been suggested that we might adopt a system of registration under which all Chinamen in the country would be required to identify themselves. If any of the visitors should undertake to remain here they would be discovered and ejected. The plan might work, but it would require ru immense amount of careful work to prevent its defeat by Chinese cunning. A better method would be to require all intending visitors to secure passports from the American consul at their na-tive place. The consul could certify to the occupation and standing of the in-dividual, and thus laborers could not slip in on the plea that they were World's fair visitors. SWEET MISTRESS NANCE OF TOWN. When I had gonf the highway down, I meet sweat Mistress Nancy thore, With bonnet cjualnt, and jaunty gown, And sundown glints about her hair; Such silken houen, dainty feet That should not climb the mountain lands, Such wondrous nair, like sheafened wheat All bursting from its golden bands. "Swoet Mistress," I made bold to say, "May I go down the glebe with you? I heard a bird sing yesterday, "I wish me what it sang were true) A robin bird" (my knees did shake To see that she did me so view), "A robin bird" (I did so quake), 'I wish me what it sang were trne." "Ah. Reuben Foster," quoth the lass, "What alls the lad that he's gone wrong? Best got thee to thy looking glass What is it of the robin's song? I'll warrant me the bird did liee Ere thou didst learn its piping lay. Ah, Reuben, man, art fooling me? And is it naught thou haste to say?" 'Sweet Misstross Nance of Mllburn town I am a loutish country lad In bonnet quaint and aud jaunty gown You quite distract and make me mad," And all this time the bonnet's tints Grew (jualnter still, I do declare, And all this time the sundown glints Made merry with the unsheafed hair, "What riddle talk ye, Reuben, man!" And tossed her wondrous mane along) "To it atialn, whereye begun What is itof the robbin's song? I'll warrant mo In all the throng Along the green there's none so rare As would not toll the robin's song," And tossed again her wondrous hair. And all this time we passed along, The lass did bo undo my brain I durst not tell the robin's song Iwisnthatwe nitght walk again; And all this time the highway down 1 went with M istress Nancy fair, Up by the glebe into the town, Some stin-gliii- still about hor hair.

The manufacturers of standard goods go to enormous expense in advertising them but are often cheated out of the legiti-mate reward of their enterprise through this practice. A customer calls for a particular brand of goods, the merits of which he has become familiar with through the advertising done for it. The dealer does not carry it, but he pro-ceeds to assure his caller that something else is as good if not better. It the at-tempt succeeded, as it so often does, tho customer secures a more or less worthless article, although in tho next store he would have found just what he wanted. Mr. Richardson holds that this practice is dishonest, and it will be very diflicult for anyone to weaken his sotitioa. |
