In THE STATESMAN, Prof. Pritchett
mas located one of the summer normal
schools in Austin. Our city is in many
ways well adapted for such a school,
ana the manner in which the local
teachers have gone to work to organ
lie and maintain thoroughly first
class normal is worthy of the highest
commentator.

CARTIER H4kRisoN,s TASK.

In assuming editorial charge of the
Chicago Times Carter Harrison promul-
gates the new policy of that paper in the
following terse, matter-of-fact s~alutatory:
The Times will always advocate democratic
principles because best for the people, but
will never be a slave to party TO uphold the
wrong. 1t will be no mans organ, and will
have no pet theories to p~romulgate. 1t has
no enemies to punish, no hobbies to ride, and
will have no axes to grind, but will be a
newspaper IN the broadcast sense of the word,
studiously avoiding sensational scandals, and
both in it's reading matter and advertise
ments will exclude everything which can
shock the modest or violate the sauctity Of
the fireside. 1t will not invade the privacy
of the home nor besmIrch private character,
either to crafty personal resentment or for
the purpose of selling its issues. 1t will
favor public and private morality and con-
denim every form of indecGncv, and will ever
be the strong advocate of personal as we'll as
of civil and religious liberty.
If the Times lives up to these prom
ises it will agreeably surprise Il great
many people who heretofore have been
accustomed to handle that sheet with Il
pitchfork. The Times without sensa-
tional scandals and Police Gdzette horrors
will resemble Chicago without Hell's
Half Acre,
1t must not be forgotten hat with all
its tendency to sensationalism and moral
cr~oss-eyedness the Times under WILDER
f. Storey was a great newspaper.
Carter Harrison starts out under very
savorable auspices at q period when
Chicago is approaching the zenith of
her marvellous growth, but with all his
talents and unlimited capital he has as
sumed a task that will tax his energies
to their fullest capacity.

MUST EXTEND OUR TRADE.

Omaha is just now ut a critical stage
in her history. She has reached Il point
in her commercial career when further
growth and prosperity depend largely
upon her own exertion. The city does
not command the trade of the
territory naturally tributary to it.
Omaha must reach out into north
ern Nebraska and South Dakota.
We must push out into the northwest for
and inaugurate an interchange of the
products of our farms and factories for
the bullion, cash and cattle of those re-
gions. Likewise must we extend our
hands to the vast southwestern stock
ranges. Our beef packing establish
ments require at least 1901 900 head of
cattle more than the present tributary
territory produces. 1t is perfectly
clear that this industry cannot grow
until we have opened new regions from
which to draw the raw product.
Almost as important to this city
as the outlets northwest and south
west is n to the northeast.
luO nhlcDdCN gram NGSStl DluS lulf
to make Duluth as important IL grain
market us Chicago. Duluth is perhaps
100 miles nearer Omaha by direct line
than Chicago. TIE present railroad
connections via st. Paul and M%inneapo-
lis make the distance but n trile greater
than to Chicago. We should direct our
energies to the problem OF opening di-
Iect trade relations with Duluth and so
be in position to dictate terms to Chi
cage or at least to be Independent of
any manipulations Of that city adversely
affecting interests. 1t is always for
tunate for a seller to have two eager
purchasers waiting to buy his goods.
The South Dakota trade in the Black
Hills and in the agricultural districts
properly conters toward Omaha. All
that is needed to bring it here are rail
road facilities and energetic effort on
the part of our business men. We have
ample rail connections with tho Hills,
and there is reason TO believe that our
jobbers and manufacturers are winning
their way in those wealthy mining
camps. With the agricultural part of
South Dakota east Of the Missouri river
we have no commercial relations, All
the existing railways draw the inn
mense products of those fertile val
leys to Minneapolis and Chicago. A
short line of railway will enable
this city to tap that region and the eli

THE Rebound OF COCK.

New York Advertiser: The defeat Of Mr..
| Redmond, the new Parnelllte leader, in Cork,
would seem TO settle forever the fate of the
Parnell party in Ireland.
st. Louis Republic: The defeat of the
Parnellite candidate, which has just taken
place in Parnell's old district, ought to con-
vince that faction that it is hopelessly in the
minority In ireland.
Chicago Tribune: The defeat at Cork is
the fifth the Parncllites have suffered within
a year. They have not won once. The Irish
people are determined to maintain the ALI
ance with the GladStoaian liberals.
Chicago Herald: Defect so significant may
induce the few rational men among them to
seek reunion with the majority. They can
prolong the disgrace of faction, but IL is GER
tain they cannot win constituencies.
Minneapolis Tribune: The departure of
MIR. DINO and his shillalah from tho po-
litical field is the main hope of home rule.
There is now an opportunity for that union
which is so necessary to the Irish cause.
St. Paul Pioneer Press: While the result
has never seemed doubtful, the friends of
Ireland every where will congratulate her
upon her fidelity in an hour of sore trial, and
her worthlness to receive the sympathy of
all the world that loves liberty and hopes for
its triumph.
Chicago Times: Mr.. Flavin's election by
a large plurality over Redmond and a ma
jority over all. is significant of tho feeling in
Cork, and Indicative of the fact that faction
was engenuered in the name of Parnell to no
purpose, such as in his best estate Parnell
would not nave sanctioned.
Minneapolis Times: The McCarthyites
are entitled henoeforJh to call themselves
not "a faction, but the Irish national party.
They are in accord with the liberals, trusted
by the people of Ireland aud represent the
character and means OF the organization
which Parnell created. The Cork election is
their certificate of authority to represent Ire
land in the struggle for nome rule.
Chicago Post: The defeated candidate
shows greater courage than discretion in
ranking himself for comparison with even
the shadow of Parnell. The fate of all such
pretenders is plain. They must learn the
bitter lesson, If their conceit Will let them,
that a dead giant is greater than a living
mediocritv. The Old rule of the lion and the
iackal does not obtIin In Irish politics.

MEDIOCRE MIS- ~ PoLIrIcs.

Among the lessons which the Boston
ddrtytiScr draws from the late elections,
one is that tho day Of tho mediocre man
in politics has about gone by. Avnila-
bility rising out OF second-rate capacity,
observes that journal, n 40 longer be
thrust forward ns valuable in q political
campaign, and while IL expects the re-
publican party will exercise greater care
generally in choosing its candidates thar
the democracy, it believes that in both
parties mere mediocrity will no
longer be hunted for by party nan
ayers. The Massachusetts republicans
undoubtedly erred in this respect and
the defeat of their candidate for gov
was the penalty. The democrats
of Pennsylvania elected a governor last
year because of a like mistake on the
part of the republicans, together with
the fact that tho candidate was
the creature OF a widely dis
trusted boss. The defeat of the re-
publican candidate In New York was
largely due to the popular feeling that
he was in the hands of another whose
DOlILlCtl mcLllOuS llc DtOIlC IHNo nv
confidence in. Here in Nebraska medi-
ocrity, if that classification be not too
good, was exempliied in the candidate
of the Independent party for the SUI
preme bench.
Incapable men still get into pub
lie office by the popular suf-
frage aud it is expected will
continue to do so, but we are glad to be-
lieve with our Boston contemporary that
political managers are beginning to UNI
derstand more clearly than ever before
that success depends very largely upon
the character OF candidates, and that
however excellent tho promises Of a
party may be if worthy men are not Sc
lected to carry them out the people will
repudiate it. 1t is certainly desirable
that this feeling shall grow until every
political party shall fully understand
that good men are as essential AS good
principles, and that voters are warranted
in doubling the sincerity of the latter
when those selected to carry them out
are unworthy OF the respect and conf
dence OF the people. The great need of
the country, particularly in state and
municipal governments, is men Of high
capacity and integrity, who will not stoop
to the scurvy tricks and eXpedients of
politics or permit the people to be plum

THE retirement of Secretary Proctor
from the War department will be espec-
Tally regretted by the army, in which he
has been Instrumental in Introducing
some excellent reforms. His services
MS secretary of war have been valuable,
but in no respect, perhaps, have they
been in so strong contrast to
those of his democratic predeces-
Bor as in the maintenance of
harmony and good feeling, There
was almost continual clashing between
the head Of the War department and
the general of the army during the
Cleveland administration, necessarily to
the detriment of the army, but there
has been nothing Of this sort under the
present administration. The business
of tho department has been carried on
with sigGal ability, and without the
least friction In any quarter,
and Secretary Proctor has shown
himself IA Jealous friend of the army.
This he a continue to be in the senate,
which he will enter on the first Monday
IN December as the successor of one OF
the ablest men who has ever occupied n
seat in that body, ex-senator Edmunds.
There is every reason to expect that
Senator Proctor will increase as n legis-
iator the good opinion which the coun
try has formed OF him as secretary OF
war.

OPIUM BROUGHT MN TO III.
Prominent Wisconsin Mar Pleads
Guilty of Robbery.

EFOnllnenJ man llcauS
Guilty of Robbery.
RACINE, Wis, Nov. 10. The people of
southern Wisconsin were shocked on the
morning of August 10 to read that DIR.
Charles N. Palmer, one of the most promi-
nent and respected physicians in this section
of the country, had been arrested charged
with robbing the store and postoffice at the
quiet little village of Raymond Center. His
many friends were loth to place any credence
in the story of the mans crimes. and nave
believed all along that the doctor would prove
his innocence when the proper time came.
Those same friends will be more than
shocked to learn that when brought up be-
fore the circuit court yesterday, and Judge
Fish asked what he had to say as to tho
charges preferred, the doctor with bowed
head said, 81 am guilty, your honor" and
then sank back In his chair ana wept like a
child.
The attorney of the doctor asked that SEN
tence be deferred until he could introduce
some testimony in regard TO the mans habits
and the condition of his mind, it being said
that he was addicted TO the opium habit and
was a physical wreck and not responsible for
his actions, and particularly FOR the crime he
had committed. Sentence was deferred.
The life OF DIR. Palmer up to the time he
committed the crime was an honorable one.
He was a prominent politician. lie was an
elector on the republican presidential ticket
in 1888, member of the medical board Of pen
sion examiners and a central figure at all
conventions. He is n son of ~. II. Palmer, a
Waterford merchant who was for twelve
years the warden of the penltentiary at Wau-
pun, where his son will probably put on the
prison garO within forty-eight hours.

The appointment of Major j. w. Pad
dock as county commissioner to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Commits
sioner Corrigan in itself is satisfactory.
The major is an old and respected citi-
zen with property interests. But Major
Paddock is also a government director
of the Union Pacific railway and must of
course devote some time to the duties
of that position. The county commits
sioners are paid annual salaries and
are expected TO devote their entire time
to county business. If the major pro-
poses to continue to act as government
director of the Union Pacific railway his
appointment will prove u mistake. He
should resign one place or the other. He
cannot serve two masters with credit to
himself or advantage to the county.

lowa's Blind Folly.
Washn1tOn Post reD.)

WUSHl1lIIOn POSI V8DD
In Iowa the reelection of Governor Boies
is another unanswerablo demonstration of re-
publican folly in blindly ~adhering to local
policies with which the great body of the peo-
pie, including many able and conspicuous re-.
publicans, are wholly out OF sympathy and
which are Justly regarded inimical to the in
terests of the state. Neither the tariff issue
nor the silver issue cut a commanding or in
cisive figure in the Iowa campaign, as com
pared with the ements of internal dissen-
sion that distracted the counsels and weak
ened the organization of the grand old party.
