THE EARLY CONVENTION.

Hasting NebraslSan: There is no cause for
party division. The republican party of Ne
braska can place itself right on all the ques-
tions before the people and meet the emer-
gency so squarely and honestly that its enc
mics will be routed as usual. No proxies go
this time. That's the first step fairly in the
interest of the people We predict an enthu-
siastic and harmonious convention.
Fremont Tribune: The party inaugurates
the campaign in the most auspicious manner
and everything points to continuation of
the harmony which is now so apparent, with
the usual rousing victory ut the polls. In so
far as the action of the committee was an ex
preston of the party, it was another bit of
emphatic evidence that the republican party s
mission is to keep itself in sympathetic unison
with the masses.
Kearney Hub; This outcome should be,
and the Hub believes that it will be, de-
cidedly satisfactory to the various elements
of the party. A possible breach regarding
matter of party policy has been happily
prevented, both by the calling of an early
convention and the summary manner of deal
ing with the proxy evil Every indication
now points to a fair canvass, well con-
Quoted convention, satisfactory nominations,
election. In the action that has been taken
by the state committee, in response to the
demand of a large clement of the party, it is
made possible for every republican to act
with the party in the primaries and conven-
tions of this year, and the assurance is given
that there can be no trifling or juggling in
carrying out the expressed will Of the people,
either as to the selection of party candidates
tbn ;ot NJ ,lntfp
Lincoln Call: The action of the state cen
trail committee ought to be approved. The re
pubicans of the state who a few weeks ago
met and asked in u business way that the
committee recognize the widespread disaffec
tion and place itself right before the people
did good work and complete work. The
action of the committee was right in accept
ing July %. The abolition of the proxy sys-
TEN has been accomplished also 1t means
hereafter that no such insults to the party as
perpetrated last year can be given. In the
future if corporations ride with high hand
over republican convention it will be the
fault only of the people in the different coun-
ties who send the delegates, or who by neg
lect at the primaries allow delegates to be
sent who do not represent the party 1t will
be an innovation to see the professional proxy
hunter, who cannot be elected delegate to
anything, take back seat and not turn up at
every convention to do his owners bidding
With a convention conducted on new princi
pies, a new, clean, unobjectionable ticket
should be nominated, in which event the re-
suit would be beyond question. The commit
tee has made it possible for the rank and file
of the party to retire tools of corporations
from state offices, decayed statesmen and
faithless officials.

A PROHIBITION LIE NAILED.

OGALGLLA, Neb, June 5.--To the Editor of
THE BEE: The following false and malicious
article appears in the columns of The Voice, a
prohibition newspaper published in New
York, and which is being distributed broad
cast over Nebraska, gratuitously, shows to
what extremes of unfairness the prohibition
organs will descend:
.OGALALLA, Neb, May 90, 1S90-There are
twenty live empty business houses with one
establishment in the hands of the sheriff in
this high license town. Rev. M. Ward, pas
tor of the NJ. E. church, informs US that three
of the families to Whom he recently granted
letters went to prohibition Kansas
The facts are that this town contains one Of
the best regulated saloons in the state, and
only one. 1t pays annually into the school
fund and village treasury as license and occu-
ton tax the sum of 81, 100 A drunken man
in this town is curiosity and our citizens
are all law abiding and industrious people
While the statement of the reverend gentle
man mentioned in the above article may be
true that he gave letters to three parties
who went to prohibition Kansas, the facts
are that more than fifty families from ''pro-
hibition Kansas have located in this vicinity
during the past year.
Again, the statement that there are twenty
five empty business houses in this town is alb
soutely and unqualitiedly untrue. The facts
are that our town contains siXty-tWO business
houses and out of said number htty-one are
doing live and prosperous business. In
fact no town in western Nebraska is in n
more prosperous condition nor has better
prospects for the future than Ogalalla,
Within sixty days the town will have com
pleted one of the best water powers in the
west. At the present writing 100 teams and
$50 men are employed upon the canal at good
wages. The prospects for an abundant crop
are unsurpassed since the earlist settlement
of the county.
A survey for an irrigating canal is now
being made on the south side of the South
Platte river, commencing at II point near the
Colorado line and running thence east along
the foot hills to point near North Platte
city Ogalalla being the central point. Our
citizens have recently organized hotel com
pany, the intention being to construct one OF
the finest hotels in western Nebraska

rnr AppE1L FnoM nR1nqn1w.

The generous people of Nebraska al
ways prompt to respond to every call for
the relief OF suffering and distress, have
never had any appeal made to them more
worthy and urgent than that Of the sur
vivors of the Bradshaw calamity. The
most formal recital OF the tragic and de-
plorable results of the disaster has a
pathos to arouse the sympathy of all who
can feel for the misfortuncs of others, and
no pen has yet told in the most
impressive from the story of ruin and
distress at the devastated town. But we
know that scores OF our fellow citizens
have been bcreft of their possessions and
are homeless, that there are women and
children who must be cared for, and
that those who suffered bodily in
Jury require comforts which
they have not the means to
procure. The demand upon us is
for immediate and generous help
to all these. The prompt liberality of
the neighboring people, which merits
the heartiest praise, has prevented much
distress. The survivors of the disaster
nave not hungefcu ana some OF Unem
have found hospitable shelter. The gen
crosity of the people of York and others
near the ruined town who could render
assistance is in the highest degree hon
orable to them, and is an example
which the people of the en-
tire state should emulate. If
every community will do its duty ac-
cording to its ability, Bradshaw may
speedily rise from her ruins with fairer
proportions and brighter promise than
before.
We are confident that the appeal in
behalf Of our stricken fellow-citizens
will be generally and generously re-
sponded to, and we would impress upon
all the urgency of the demand and the
desirability of u prompt response.
THE BEE has been designated by
the general aid and soliciting
committee nn agent to receive contribu-
tions, and money sent to this office will
be acknowledged through our columns
and forwarded to the treasurer of the re-
lief committee at York. Do not delay
attention to this call, but respond at
once.

MONKS AND GOOD EATING.
What the Worlds Epicures Owe to the
Catholic Clergy.

1t is a rema rkable fact that the cpl
cures of the W orld should be so largely
indebted to the French clergy for the
luXuries they enjoy. Two inn keepers,
established at Mont st. Michel, are Mt
daggers drawn TO this day respecting
the right sort of omelets to be put be-
fore hungry traveller who comes their
way, says the st. James Gazette. One
is Ridei, who holds out for the old Gallo
omelette aux fines herbes, while Pou-
lard, his rival, contends that the genu-
inc article is an omelet, the secret of
which has been transmitted through
ages by the antique religious orders of
the place. Such rivalry is an honor to
either party. Il have tasted both
dishes,n writes a recent traveller, and it
is difficult to decide between them" 1t
is easily prepared. The whites and the
yolks of the eggs are not mixed. The
whites are well logged up to a creamy
consistency to obtain which much elbow
grease is required; the yolks are only
slightly beaten. The whole is poured
into frying pan and large lump of
butter put in ut the same time. After
cooking for two minutes the result is
miracle.
The monks and cures of France have
done as much for their country in the
most renowned chefs. One of the largest
oyster parks in the country was started
by Able Bonnetard, the cure of LA Teste,
whose system of artificial cultivation is
so successful that of the number of oysters
distributed throughout France every
year perhaps quarter are produced by
the able. Canon Agen was the discoverer
of the terrines of Nerac, The rillettes
of Tours are the work of monk OF Mar
moutiers The renowned liqueurs Char
treuse, Trappistine, Benedictine and
others betray their monastic origin in
their names, and tho strangest part Of
their production is that they should be
the work of the most severe and ascetic
of religious bodies The elixir of Garus
is the invention of the Able Garus. The
Beziers sausages were first prepared
under tho direction of the Prior
Lamoureux. The popular BergougnouX
sauce was first mingled by the Able Ber-
gougnouX The delicate Floguard cakes
are the invention of the able OF that
name. Even the immortal glory OF the
discovery of champagne is attributed to
a monk. To these may be added the
delicacies in bonbons, confectionery and
the like, which owe their origin entirely
to nuns in French converts.

WHAT ARE WE HERE FoR,o

win any member of the council com
bine tell the taxpayers of Omaha what
good object they have had in view in
forming their close corporation? Grant
that at the outset they had right to
agree among themselves whom they
would prefer as presiding officer and
city clerk, we would like to know what
excuse they have for holding dark lantern
meetings and conspiiing against their
colleagues in the council every time any
important contract is to be awarded or
any appointment to be made.
Why should this city be governed by
star-chamber clique that receives its.
inspiration from an oath-bound club of
spoilsmenf and brace of cormorants
who are fattcning upon public contracts?
Omaha has been cursed with some very
rotten councils, but we have always had
open committee meetings in which citi-
zens and councllmen could confer to-
gether freely upon all matters that le-
ultimately come for decision before the
council. Since we are governed by con-
spirators who are playing the dummy
for Doodle contractors and corporations
the committee meetings Of the council
have degenerated into farce. Every
thing of moment is foreordained by the
combine and one-third of the whole
council is disfranchised.
Perhaps it is superhuous to hold COM
mittee meetings What is the use of
the committee on fire and water holding
meetings so long as McLearie, the
chairman, wears the collar of the water
works company and keeps on manufac-
turing hydrants and castings for them?
What is to be expected of the finance
committee so long rs its head uses his
position to hold up people for more in
surance?
What would the public gain by a meet
ing of the committee on public property
and buildings, so long as Davis and
Wheeler are the controlling majority?
1t is Wheeler and Davis on finance
and Davis and Wheeler on public build
ings, and it is Davis and Blumer on gas
and electric lights.
But behind this close corportion and
the combine are the contractors, the
street railways, the gas company, the
waterworks, and last but not least, the
electric lighting company, with whole
brood of vultures in the postofiice and in
the Twenty EIGHT club to pick clean the
bones the combine can throw from the
municipal meat shop

IndIan Lions Dying out.

The lions of India appear to be going
the way of the great bustard and the
dodo. and the reason is found in the eN-
tension of railways, for the monarch OF
the forest shares with Mr.. Ruskin a
mortal untipathy to the smoke and
screams Of locomotives, says the London
Daily News Within the memory Of
many persons lions were common enough
in Raiputana, and even now the roar of
one may be heard occasionally in the
widest parts Of Central India; but the
new railway from Nagpur is now being
constructed through this country, and
this is practically notice to quit served
upon the few remaining lions in the
central provinces. Practically the only
lions now remaining that are worth mon
tioning seem to be the race existing in
Kattywar, which was visited by Prince
Albert Victor the other day. Their
number remains, IL is believed, pretty
stationary. 1t is strictly forbidden to
shoot them, save by way OF tho grand
sport; but many conditions are uniavor-
able TO their multiplication, and even
the Kattywar lions are clearly doomed
ere long TO disappear.

THE people of Wyoming do not pro-
pose to permit the statehood bill to die a
natural death in the senate. Meetings
are being held in various portions of the
territory TO awaken sentiment and Wig
Drously protest against delay. The oppo-
htion to the admission of both Wyoming
and Idaho has assumed dangerous
phase, The eastern states dread the
growing power of the west, and it is
quite clear that underhnnded efforts are
being made 20 prevent the admission of
new states during the tendency of
measures in congress vitally affecting
The interests Of both sections: The east
will not give up its monopoly of business
and political legislation without a
struggle, and every western representa-
tive should, II necessary, antagonize
eastern measures and thus force the
powers that be TO do justice to the pro-
Eressive people of his section.

A Moving Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at tho
cascades of tho Columbia. 1t is n triple
peaked mass of dark brown basalt, six or
eight miles in length whore ii fronts tha
river, and rises to a height of almost
two Thousand feet above the water.
That it is in motion is the last thought
which would be likely TO suggest itself
10 any one passing it; yet it is Il we'll cs-
tablished fact that this entire mountain
is moving slowly but steadily down the
river, rs if it had a deliberate purpose
some time in the future to dam the Co
lumbia and form Il great lake from tho
cascades to the dallcs. The Indian tradi
tions indicate immense movements of tho
mountains hereabouts, long before white
men came to Oregon, and the early set
tiers, immigrants, many of them, from
New England, gave the above described
mountainous ridge the name of travel
ing mountain, or sliding mountain"
In its forward and downward move
ment the forests along the base of tho
ridge have become submerged in tho
river. Large tree stubs can be seen
standing deep in the water on this shore.
The railway engineerss and the track
men find that the line of the railroad
which skirts the foot of the mountain is
being continually forced out OF place.
At certain points the road-bed and rails
have been pushed eight or ten feet out
of line in the course of IL few years.

THE financial situation presents no
new features. Money continues plenti-
full, with a very fair demand, and rates
are firm ut eight per cent Exchange is
in good supply The stock markets are
fairly active and strong in tone. The
Chicago produce markets are decidedly
bullish and large business was trans
acted. The local produce markets are
unchanged. Liberal supplies of vegeta-
bles and fruits arrive and meet with
ready sale at quotations. The fine
weather prevailing in Nebraska is good
for the growing crops and the outlook is
excellent for a year of great prosperity.

THE committee of the Methodist
church which will finally settle the
place for holding the conference of 1892
will meet in this city to determine the
question within the next forty-eight
hours. While Omaha will be given the
benefit of the preference expressed by
the last conference the local citizens
committee should be prepared to meet
every objection raised and demonstrate
the ability of our people to carry out
every pledge given. The conference
will surpass in attendance any national
gathering heretofore held in the city.
1t will bring together representa-
tives of a great and powerful denomina-
tion from all quarters of the civilized
world. 1t is the ecumenical council of
Methodism, and its meeting here will
spread the fame of Omaha as the most
progressive city in the union. That the
city is amply able to accommodate the
assembly and give the delegates a sam
pie of genuine western hospitality does
not admit of doubt. 1t is important
therefore that the.citizens entrusted with
that duty should properly present to the
conference committee the advantages of
the city and give such guarantees as
may be required.
