Mr.. RANDALL expects conservative
tariff legislation from the next con-

highly protective, but sufficient to pro-
tect the labor of the United States from

England are at the high tide OF pros
perity, while ihtthis country iron mills
are closed, and those IN operation do
not find market for half their pro-
duct, yet so intelligent man as Mr..
Randall talks OF protecting our labor

impossible to say what the Pennsylvania
statesman would regard as conserva-
tive tariff, but he makes an unlooked-for
and welcome concession in recommend

tion in the tariff.

THE PAUL REvEnE of ooNHMAu

By Tenicr Toldo.
Tremulous beats OF hurried hoofs like tread
of maddened hail.
Re.echo with the chill Of doom adown the
startled vale,
What courier of lifo or death onchaius the
air with awe,
AS like a meteor he sweeps along the Cone
maughi
"For your lives to the hills ~ he cried and
like flash he sped,
ITO the hillsl' was the dread refrain of the
fierce steed's dying tread,
"The hilsw what can the warning mean and
what oracle of law
Bids us desert our homes and hopes upon the
Conemaughl
oh God upon the palsied earth what thing
is stalking now,
To glaze the bursting eye with fear and
whiton every browl
Tho king of terrors in the dam has found
some fatal tlaw
An ocean with howl of hell cngulfs the
Conemaugh.
Yet on hc flies, the rider brave yet on the
wild-eycd steed,
The lives of cities, heroes twain, hang on
your naSnlng speed;
Was ever such race before, pe it defeat or

A man of steel and steed Of fire with floods
of Conemaughl
For your lives, the hills, to the hills ~ rang
forth from dell TO dell,
A thread Of sound as the waters roar, fast
drowned the riders yell,
For your own life now oh hero bold, for
cities of men like straw
Fail and sink from sight of earth in the tor

shrll rings the farewell cry,
The avalanche of waters fierce enwrap him
in its nav,
The clarion voice no further pleads adown

OF the ten Thousand buried low in the great

None nobler than the king of men, who died

None worthier the victor's bays the whole

THE decision of the executive board
of the Interstate Railway association
favorable to the demand of the Chicago
& Alton road for division of the live
stock traffic of the st. Paul road, has
been promptly acquiesced in by the lat
ter company. The excellent spirit
shown in the communication announc-
ing the acceptance of the decision by
the st. Paul ought to have a
good effect upon other companies in
the association, and it is Il very palpa-
BILE rebuke to the action of the Alton
officials in disregarding the decision ad-
verse to them In the matter of lowering
lumber rates between Chicago and the
Missouri river. Ii the 'gentlemen's
agreement" is to amount to anything,
there must be, prompt and cheerful re-
spect paid to the decisions rendered

A CHANGE has been maze in. the
management OF the South Omaha stock
yards which cannot fail to be benef-
cial. The selection OF Mr.. w, n. Bab-
cock by the executive board to succeed
Manager Boyd brings into that position
gentleman thoroughly familiar with
freight rates and the intricacies of the
transportation problem. Just such u
mau has long been needed at the South
Omaha stockyards. Without disparag-
ing the services of Manager Boyd, who
has been closely identified with the
stockyards since their incipiency,
it is an open secret that the
yards are not getting their full
quota of hogs and cattle due
to the fact that the management has
not been sufficiently vigilant in protect
ing shippers against the imposition of
the railroads. Mr.. Babcock, as general
agent of the Northwestern railroad, is
thoroughly conversant with that ques-
tion, and his experience as n railroad
man will come into good stead as the
manager of the Omaha stockyards. He
should not alone be able to arrange bot
ter transportation rates, but should be
able to secure prompt and efficient con-
nections on all lines carrying stock to
Omaha.

A PHIL ANTHRoPTsTs GIFT.

The presentation to the military
academy at West Point of portraits of
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan was very
characteristic of Mr.. George w. Childs,
the editor philanthropist of the Phila-
delphia Ledger. 1t has been given,
perhaps, to few men in this country to
scatter unobtrusively so many seeds of
kindness, to assist where assistance was
most needed such number of poor and
deserving men and woman, with no dis
play of generosity, or to gather around
him so many and such n large circle of
friends attracted by his great-hearted-
ness and simplicity of character.
In several respects Mr.. Childs
is unique figure among the
prominent characters of our day. A
successful editor and publisher, he has
amassed great fortune. and built up a
great paper on lines of such rigid con-
| servatism that his journal stands alone
in those features which make it the
most solidly substantial investment in
| the Quaker City. Amid all the strug
| giles of state and national politics,
| amidst local brawls and class controver-
sizes, the Ledger has pursued the even
tenor of its way, standing up boldly for
| its ideas of right and wrong, and draw
ing to its support the best elements OF
| the community which were sure of
| its integrity of purpose because 1t was
! dominated by the honest heart and
strong will of Philadelphia's most prom
| inent and best beloved citizen. a cap
italist in whose defense his employees
would willingly die, a banker whose good
| fortune the meanest mechanic does not
envy, wealthy man who uses his
! wealth as trust for the benefit of his
poorer fellows and a philanthropist
whose benefactions flow in silent
streams daily throughout the country,
| Mr.. Childs is entitled to the warmly -af-
| fectionate utterances which greet his
name whenever it is mentioned among
| those who know best his worth and ap-
preclate his simplicity and sturdy hon
esty of character.

THE organization of a company of
English and American capitalists. with
fifteen million dollars capital, to de-
velop the tin mines at Harney's Peak,
Dakota, and erect works for the manu-
facture of tin plate, gives assurance
that the tin industry is speedily to re-
ceive Il boom in this country. 1t Is un-
derstood to be the intention of this COM
pany to construct works at several
points, Chicago probably being one. Is
it not practi cable to present the claims
OF Omaha as an eligible point for one Of
these establishments? The matter is
certainly worthy of consideration, and
is commended ID the attention of those
members of the board of trade who are
charged with the duty of furthering the
industrial interests of the city.

Miss Jane Golden, the first woman elected
county councillor in England, is barely

very attractive personality.
To the queen of Italy belongs the credit of
re.establishing the manufacture of Burano
lace. The industry had almost wholly died
out. The queen found an old lady who
knew the stitch, and had her teach number
of younger women. The result is that Bur-
ano lace has again become source of large
revenue to the people of Burano.
Mrs Slocum who has just come up from
South America in the tiny craft built by her

small that there is scarcely any cabin, and
there was 10 way OF heating it, no matter
how cold the weather. She and her family
| suffered more from want of exercise than
anything else as the boat was too small to
permit of walking on deck. The voyage
would have been very lonely but that they
managed to have plenty of reading matter

Miss Rosa Evangeline Angel the young
Cincinnati poetess has received compl-

in which he says: 1.-THE great difficulty a

that writing in rhyme has become common

made reputation in my young days attracts
little attention in these times and brings
small returns IN either fame or profit"

The absurd Herald devotes an entire
column to the removal of Judge Sandford
from the Federal bench in Utah. 1t
informs its readers that the president
is liable to impeachment for stating to
the Judge that his administration of
justice twas not in harmony with the
policy he deemed proper to be pursued
in reference to Utah affairs and for
openly removing HIM for this cause.
Could anything be more ridiculous?
The Herald knows as well as any of its
readers that the cause OF Judge Sand
ford s removal and the sole cause was
his policy toward offenders under the
Edmunds act, which has been
maintained for the past three years
against the protests of the Utah com
mission and the remonstrances OF the
strongest citizens OF Utah. 1t knows or
ought to know, if it does not that during
his senatorial term President Harrison.
as chairman of the committee on terri
tories, had a distinctly marked policy
on Utah matters which was, after all
only the policy of the conservative peo-
pie of the country bent upon seeing the
laws rigidly administered.
1t was highly proper and manly in the
president in removing Judge Sandford
to state frankly and openly that as his
policy in Utah was to be on the lines of
a rigid enforcement OF the laws he did
not feel that Judge Sandford was the man
for the place. Any citizen of Salt Lake
knew lust what that meant. Judge
Sandford knew what it meant, and the
neatly turned periods Of his correspond
ence, written with view to subsequent
publication, did not change the situa-

THERE is every indication that the
meeting OF delegates of all boards of
trade through the state at Omaha on
June 70, will be largely attended and
will lead to much good. 1t will be the
first time that the business men of Ne
braska, through their representative
bodies, will take action to work in
harmony for the welfare OF the state.
The meeting will be beneficial in
bringing out the needs of different sec
tions and in pointing out the ways and
means to secure them. The convention
moreover will be able to determine upon
general plan Of action. 1t will soften
conflicting interests and local jeaiousies
and create of feeling OF unity in labor
ing for common cause. For that
reason every city in the state should be
properly represented and be heard.

THE British and Canadian govern

The British and Canadian govern
ments have decided on an elaborate sys-
TEN of forts to be built on the western
shores of British Columbia. The forts
will extend from Esquimault, the head
quarters of the British North Pacific
squadron, to Victoria, and work will
begin this year. These preparations,
coupled with the announcement of the
home government that orders had been
placed for heavy armament for
these forts, indicates the determi-
nation of Great Britain to strengthen
her mold on North America. 1t is a
significant answer to those confiding
statesmen who imagine that Canada is
ready to join the union of states, and
gives black eye to the movement for
commercial reciprocity.

the fact that the English are but thirty
miles away, so to speak, where we are
three thousand miles distant. But dis
tance really counts for very little, and
the superior excellence OF the English
Industrial exhibit is the more to be com
mended because it is entirely the result
OF private enterprise, not n penny hav-
ing been contributed out OF public
funds. 1t is one OF the very
rare instances in which English
men have shown greater enter
prise than Americans, and they deserve
full credit for it and all the advantage
it can give them. "What few scatter
ing hits our people do make in this ex-
hibltion," remarks Paris correspond
ent, ARE solely due to individual inge-
nuity, artistic taste, pluck and enter
prise. 1t is nothing short of humiliat-
ing to see the whole industrial repre-
sentation of our country dependent
upon these, to realize that in this world
competition we measure up against
England about as Canada measured
against us at Philadelphia in 1876"
But for the great electrical exhibit
made by Edison and the superior char
acter OF the American machine sec
tion, in which nearly everything exhib-
tied is novel and illustrates an advance,
the United States would play quite in
significant part in the Paris exposition.
The fact is unfortunate, if not discredit-
able, and the benefit the country should
have derived will be lost.

FEARS are expressed by the banking
journals OF tho country that the bank
examiners OF Nebraska to be appointed
under the new banking law will not be
men having practical knowledge of the
banking business. 1t behooves the
proper authorities to see to it that in
the execution of the law, the influence
OF politics and of private bankers not IN
good standing be entirely eliminated.
There is every reason to believe the
banking law a carefully framed meas
ure, and if honestly enforced by capable
men it will protect the people against
wildcat schemes and insure TO Nebras-
ka conservative banking system.

ANOTHER of the new war vessels of
the American navy is practically ready
and will be given a preliminary trial
this week. This vessel, the Baltimore,
is far superior in size, speed and battery
power to any of the new vessels thus far
completed. A special point of interest
is the fact that she is built after the
plans purchased by Secretary Whitney
from the English ship-builders, Sir Will
liam G. Armstrong g. Co., the design
having been made by a then employe of
the firm who is now chief constructor of
the British navy. The Baltimore is one
of the finest war ships afoat, and OF
course will be equipped with the latest
appliances to make her effective.

A rnAfhMAN cnoSEN.

The democratic national committee
has elected Mr.. Calvin S. Brice It's
chairman. This action was not unex-
pected. For several weeks, or since it
became known that Senator German, OF
Maryland, was not n candidate, there
has been little doubt that Mr.. Brice
would be selected. There was at least
one strong point in his favor, the fact
that he is very wealthy and can be re-
lied on TO be generous in political con-
tributions.
In the last presidential contest Mr..
Brice was chairman of the demo-
cratic campaign committee. For
man of very limited political
experience he did very well in that po-
sition. At the outset he did some
things to have been expected OF mo-
vice in political management, and early
received the sobriquet of "the rainbow
chaser" but he rapidly improved, and
before the campaign was half over set
tied down TO the work in II way that not
n great many Veterans could have sur
passed.
There was suspicion that Mr.. Brice
was not ardently devoted to Mr.. Cleve-
land and his special policy, but there
can be no doubt that he most
earnestly desired the success OF his
party, and worked as hard and
faithfully to that end as any man
could have done. Hisstanding in dem
ocratic confidence is fully established by
his election as chairman OF the national
committee.
Mr.. Brice has been supposed to be par
tial to Governor Hill as the next candi-
date of the democratic party for presi
dent. 1t is therefore not unlikely that
his being placed at the head OF the ma
| tional committee will be regarded as a
move favorable to Hill. In an inter-
view few days ago Mr. Randall pre-
dicted the election ef Brice and stated
that it would have no significance what
ever with respect to the presidential
| chances of either Cleveland or
| Hill. Nevertheless il is not questiona-
BILE that the tariff views of Mr.. Brice
are more in accord with those of the
| governor than with those of the ex-
| president He is largely Interested in
railroading, manufacturing and mining
and is in sympathy with the Randall
German element of the party rather
than sthe Carlisle-Mills wing. IT the
supporters of Mr.. Cleveland propose to
run him again on the platform OF last
year, it is by no means improbable that
they will have the opposition OF Mr..
Brice.
Mr.. Brice has political ambition.
He is looking toward the United
States senate, and should the dem
ocrats of Ohio secure the Legislature
next fall he would undoubtedly make q
vigorous effort to succeed Senator
Payne, who it is now understood will
in no event again be u candidate. Mr.
Brice will hardly be SO efficient a chair
man of the democratic national com
mittee as was his predecessor, the late
William III. Barnum, who was poll
tician of long experience and great
skill and shrewdness. But Mr.. Brice
will pay literally for the honor, and
this will cover multitude of shortcom
ings as political manager. His selec
tion will cause no regret among repub
Leans.

On the authority of the Man1oct,T-

water power for manufacturing pur-

steam, and that steam power is gradu-
ally supplanting water power in the fac
tories of Lowell, Dover, Man nchester and
