Perry Belmont was prepared in his speech
before the New York Democratic convention
to denounce third term presidential aspi-
rations. but was induced TO omit IL in his
remarks. The omission, 1t is said. was a
disappointment TO some OF the Tammany
men. who were all ready to applaud the
sentiment. This, occurring in Mr.. Cleve-
lands own state. makes the third term
prospects look rather unfavorable.

Hamlin University is rejoicing over

Eugene Phillips, WAS awarded hrst
place by the Judges Mr.. Phillips SUB

Nations Surety" His Grafton was. In
its thought and style, thing OF classic
strength and beauty. HIS oratory Is OF
the Wendell Phillips stamp. There Is no
trace of atfectation, display or rodmont-
axe about it. 1t Is elegant, dlgmhed,
viyacious conversation electrified by
the theme and the occasion. Mr.. Phll-
lips is greatly beloved by his college as
sociates. The boys carried him upon
their shoulders from the church TO the
car, and from the car across the cam
pus to the Presidents house. Or,
Bridgman congratulated them upon
the victory. He said they had won 1t
against great odds. They have SIX or
seven hundred men at the State | nj

Sound Money.

We are hearing much said NOWADAYS
about sound money. One good Repub
lean paper says financially Mr.. Cleve-
land is All right because lie is for sound
money. Another equally good and
knowing paper says that the Republic
can party Is sure to win in the next
presidential campaign because it is for
sound money. These two elements
being SO beautifully harmonious, why
does not the Republican party invite
/ Mr.. Cleveland to become it's sound
money candidate iii 1896? Does il mean
that the Republican party is for the
same kind of sound money Mr.. Cleve-
! land is for, or are there various kinds
! of sound money?
In 1892 England and France and one
or two smaller foreign nations furnished
the money used to buy Mr.. Cleveland
his seat at the White House on the
| Free Trade cry. That secured, will
they now repeat the program on the
sound money" cry? The English
| banker and bond holder is very anxious
and concerned about the money stand
ard Of this country, they want us 10
have nothing but sound money and
they claim there is but one kind of
sound moncy-GCLD.
! If Grover Cleveland and the Repub-
lican party are like minded, and are
ready to declare to the American peo-
| pie that there is or can be but one kind
of sound money-GOLD-then Mr..
| Cleveland and the Republican party
alike will get awfully left in 1896. Sill
yer is as much sound money as gold is
1t has been in active and constant use
as such for the past nineteen hundred
years and still the world has fiourished
and prOspered. No financial or trade
| panic the world has ever known can
be traced to the use Of silver or its com
mcrcial value. Sound money" is a
broad plank. What does it mean? Let
it be clearly and well defined before
we are asked to endorse it,

Whom 1t has Helped.

The new tariff law, the tariff law of
the retormers which was to gladden. the
heart of the American farmer and fat
ten the pocket-bOok of the American
mechanic, has been in operation Tor
six months.
The law is now old enough to be stud
led. 1t has been in the statute book
long enough to show results. Every
American knows what the Democratic
promise to repeal the Mckinley law
brought upon the country. The prom
Use has been kept. Now, what is the
effect OF the promise so kept.
The effect is wide and startling. 1t
includes new public debt, low wages
and small profits. This can be said gen
orally. Specifically it can be said that
the manufacturers of England and on
the Continent of Europe are daily in
creasng their sales in the United States
Goods are coming into American ports
by the ship load. This is good thing
for the National Treasury, but it is a
bad thing for American labor. \ bar of
iron made in England and sold in this
country deprives some Americans of
wages which are theirs by rights.
The new law, therefore, is not filling
the pocket-book 0, the American work
man but is emptying it. This is fact
that can he proved by Democratic fig
ures set down IN Washington and gath
cred by Democrats from Democratic
customs atliCers.
The new law, the law of the burden
litters, has been. we have said, in effect
SIN months. During the eight months
Just past the American farmer has been
gradually but surely squeezed out OF the
foreign markets with his staple products
He has lost a marked for S47, 800. 900
worth OF his wheat and for y, 900, 900
bushels of his corn. The price of cot
ton has fallen two and one-quarter cents
a pound, and foreign scales show de
crease of 100000 bales.
The Democratic Tariff law, therefore,
has helped the foreigners but it hasn't
helped any Americans but those who
have been appointed to collect the in

Damnable Practice.

OMAHA, Neb., April 10.-Judge Scott
created sensation in the court room
by discharging a prostitute who was ar
rested for non-payment of the monthly
fine levied by the city, by declaring
that this woman was not as bad and
low as the officials who inaugurated
this system of fines, which, be said
were licenses to sell virtue He de-
clared the system was one of blackmail
and said that he would permit no such
illegal, unconstitutional and damnabIe
practice to prevail in his court. The
effect of the decision will be to free
prostitutes from these fines and any
obligation to pay them. In all prob
ability Judge Scott viii order the ar
rest of any officer hereafter collecting
such fines

ment at the Grand Opera House, pre-
senting good list of amusing and in

The Omaha papers speak in terms of
the highest praise OF merits of these at
fractions. They say: The comedy is
rollicking, and the company appeared
to splendid advantage, the various
speCialtics being exceedingly well done.
Little Edna Remming, ALWAYS a favorite
here, is captivating the audiences with
her songs and dances. She is essenti-
ally an actress, and, while possessed
with an intelligence of one of advanced
years, inherited from talented parents,
she does not lose sight of the fact that
she is a little girl, and has combna-
ton of intelligence and covness that
win her her friends. Miss Remming,
Mr.. Barnes, Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin, Miss
st. CLAIR, and the entire company are
strong in their respective rolls, and the
company, ali iii all, one of the best that
has visited our city in repertoire"

Well, Kick VIII You?

Why, bless you. the people hire and
pay policeman ont of the public fund,
(his name is Rollins; his duties ostens-
IDLY are meat Inspection). Now this
officer in the past four months time was
in two shops at the East End to inspect
meat just once, and three other times
to threaten the proprietors with boy
colt if they did not join the union, and
after they refused on different occasions,
this same Mr.. Rollins, hired and paid
by the people of Superior good salary,
issued and served notice of a boycott
on the wholesale meat dealers Of this
city against these East End butchers
who would not join the union. Two of
them protested to Mayor Woodward
against such treatment by city official,
and the good Mayor Of the City of
Destiny consulted butchers Dickinson,
Greer, Chadwick and borrow and dis
protesting parties hearing. Now
when a man hired and paid by the peo-
pie is allowed to do the bOycottiug and
the Mayor and the high mogul of the
butchers union say it's all right, then
what have YOU got to say? Today one
of the gang by the name of Inscho made
his brags TO he that We tmeaning him
self and the rest ofthe union) had made
Greer lose $1,000 or 5000 when he
done business Independent of the
union, and that they had made every
other man who attempted to do BUSH
ness outside of the union shut up shop.
Well, the truth is that five or six diff
ferent men have attempted to do bust
ness in Superior Independent of this
butchers union and every one of them
were crowded out of business except
Greer. And what have you done to
help these men in their unequal fight?
\ month ago when the fight was going
on at the East End you hadn't word
to say in their favor, much less giving
them any help. You even buy your
meat Of the men that were at the bot
tom of the East End boycott, and now
after you have bought a rope for your
own neck YOU shouldn't kick if it pulls
a little tight And what do the people
do? Why, most of them do the same
as vou-help buy rope for their own
neck and pay Mr.. Rollins a good salary
and allow him to cause a boycott against
the men who would cut the rope.

Those Elusive Markets.

Farmers were assured over and over
against that if they would only turn in
and elect Cleveland and a Democratic
Congress prosperity on a scale never
experienced by them before would at
once be at their doors to oyerwhelm
them with its blessings. Cleveland and
Democracy had a scheme for opening
up the markets of the world to
American farm products that was GER
tain to make every farmer rich in al
most no time. Beguilded by the allur-
ing prospect, enough farmers were
caught by these assurances to insure
the triumph of Cleveland and Demo
craCy IN general. There have been two
years Of 1t since. The first year showed
up very poorly for the farmer; but then
the administration was SO busy turning
out the "rober" Republicans to put
Democrats III their places that allowan-
ces were possibly in order. The sec

different, and ''the markets of the

The Democracy and the South.

The Washington Post has started in
to work up boom for some Southern
Democrat for the Presidential nomina-
ton next year. Thus far it is all smooth
sailing. There is Il paucity of candidates.
Mr.. Cleveland says he Will not have it,
and no one appears to be working for it,
unless it is Adlai Stevenson, and, if he
Is, he keeps very quiet about it. The
( outlook Is not encouraging, and if any
Southern man really bankers alter it he
may get there. The South has not vet
proposed any candidate, however, and
may decline to concentrate on any one
Some time ago Senator German
caused it TO be understood that he was
not hungry for the honor, and David b.
Hill, who four years ago was pipelaying
for the nomination, lost no time in as
surfing the Post of his cordial SYMPATHY.
