The remains OF the late Meyer Hell-
man have been laid away in their last
resting place. The bereaved family is
now in the depths of the desolation
which death has wrought in their once
happy homo. Their only comfort is the
thought that tho husband and father
went to his last account with no stain
upon the fair fame OF business reputa-
tion acquired by industry, energy and
honesty in n career of more than thirty
years. They can dry their scalding
tears with the reelection that he strug-
gled most mnufully against adversittes
which came thick and fast, but yielded
nothing that could tarnish the good
name he so fondly cherished. To NOR
tai sense of justice he should have con-
tinued for many years landmark in the
progress of Omaha and pillar of
strength to her business community.
But he was stricken in his prime, and
though he fought wonderful battle
with death he was overcome, and is no
more. The great Judge of all tho earth
had passed the ineXorablc sentence and
no human advocate could secure II stay
of proceedings. He went the way OF all
the earth, gricved to leave his loved ones,
bat glad to be ut rest from physical pain
and mental suffering Peace to his
ashes, honor to his memory and rendered
sympathy of hosts of friends and ac-
quaintances for his sorrowing wife and

THERE promises to be a very interest
ing contest in the senate on Monday
next, when Senator Stewart will offer II
motion to take his free coinage bill from
the calendar. Several prominent demo-
cratic members Of the senate will, it is
believed, enaeavor to dodge, but the
silver men are planning to compel them
to declare themselves. The several
presidential aspirants, Hill, German
and Palmer, would undoubtedly like to
avoid the issue, but the radical free sill
yer men propose that they shall not do
so If it can be prevented. They want to
know whore these gentlemen stand on
this question. AS to the probable out
come no safe prediction can be made.
Under different circumstances the bill
would undoubtedly be taken from the
calendar and passed, but democrats who
would favor it if they were not facing
national election, like Mr.. Carlisle, for
example, will now vote against its CON
sderation. This being the case the
chances would seem to be that the Stew
art bill will suffer the fate of its kindred
measure in the house, and if so that will
probably end all attempts to secure sill
yer legislation at the present session of
congress, the house free silver men hav-
ing become pretty thoroughly discour-
aged by the refusal of Speaker Crisp to
favor cloture rule unless it should be
demanded by IA majority of the demo-
Gratis of the house and by the increasing
disposition among democrats who are
friendly TO free coinage not to force the
issue at this time SO that if the motion
to take tho Stewart free coinage bill
from tho calendar is defeated next
Monday it will in all probability bring
the silver agitation in congress to an
end for the present session.

THE University OF Omaha has gradu-
ated its first class OF physicians. 1t gave
degrees to eleven young gentlemen and
ono lady. The Omaha medical college
has been in existence for eleven years,
but only within the last twelve months
has it been attached to the University
of Omaha. The class was the largest
ever graduated by the college, and the
attainments and high character OF its
members afford conclusive proof of the
excellent instruction afforded by this
Omaha institution.

SIOUX CITY may not see work begun
on her postoffice building this year
Her enterprising citizens agreed to raise
s59,O0O toward paying for site. Tho
governments share OF the expense is
S21, 900. The citizens failed TO make
good their promises and hence the
delay All of which leads us to remark
that Unclo Sam is falling into the very
bad habit OF accepting gifts of money
and land for public buildings all over
the country. When the government
needs building site it should buy it
and pay for it just the same as an indi-
viduaL. This thing of accepting gratui-
ties Is becoming an abuse.

All the signs of tho times now point to the
probable denomination of President Harrison
and ex- President Cleveland to lead the great
national battle of 1892. A few months ago
both seemed TO be possible, but hardly proba-
BILE candidates; today Harrson's nomination
appears to be as certain as anything in tho
future can be, and Cleveand's nomination is
obviously not only possible but more than
probable.

AN ANNEXA rION PLATFORM.

A candidate for the Ontario legisla-
ture is appealing to tho Toronto constit-
uency in a platform which favors an
neXation to the United States. In an
address to the electors he declares that
the present situation of Canada is des-
perate, and that the only way out is
political union with the United States
His plan for such union proposes the
assumption by the union of all public
debts, Dominion, provincial and munic-
ipal; the deepening and widening of
the st. Lawrence, Welland and other
canals so as to admit any or all ocean
vessels to all the principal lake ports,
and the construction of the Lake Huron
and Ontario ship canal with a like OBJ
iect; the admission and recognition of
each province as a sovereign state of the
union.
The candidate who thus proposes to
test the annexation sentiment of Toronto
says that Canada has been restricted
and impoverished by a mistaken policy,
by an attempt on the part of some to
make Canada part of Europe when she
was intended to form II part Of America.
Annexation, he declares, would mean Il
perpetual treaty of peace and free and
unrestricted trade with 70,00o,00 of
people, in consequence of which mill
lions Of dollars would flow into Canada
and the investor would have no cause to
fear a change of trade relations that
would destroy or confiscate his means.
One result would be DEVELOPMENT of
the mineral resources of the Dominion
that would bring prosperity to the whole
country
The reasoning of this champion of an
neXation is undoubtedly sound so far as
it relates to the benefits which Canada
would derive from the arrangement, but
it is not clear that the advantages to
the United States would be equally valu-
able. Canada is very likely wor. h the
sum total of its general, provincial and
municipal debts, and yet it is hardly to
be doubted that simply as Il business
proposition the American people would
hesitate to accept annexation at the
price. OF course tho Canadian people
would still have to bear their share of
the burden, but that consideration
hardly makes the proposition more in
viting. The election is soon TO take
place, and it will be interesting to learn
how much annexation sentiment there
is in Toronto.

d large clientage and q law practice that

He had to consult his clients- Philip d.
Armour, one of his clients, refused to
consent. He could have been induced
probably to change his decision, but
there was the Chicago Gas company
which would not release Mr.. Campbell
ON any conditions. That left him only
one course-to decline the chairmanship.
