Fire insurance companies doing bust
ness in Omaha will doubtless look with
dsmay upon the proposition to invest
nearly half million dollars by the
water works company, as contemplated
by the reorganized company now form

last vestige of an excuse for maintain

The National Educational association
attracts over 10000 members to its
annual conventions. There is de-
sire upon the part of educators here
to have Omaha bid for the national
associations meeting in 1898. The
Commercial club will of course extend
an invitation, but the Board of Educa-
ton can do more to bring the teachers
here than can any other agency. The
mead officers Of the association could be
given office room in the city hall for a
week, while the departments of the ma
tional body could each be assigned to
quarters in the school buildings or in
the city hall for few days, Such ac-
commodations must be promised in ad-
vance. The Board of Education ought
to take this matter up.

of our population. They are not carried
away by nghty or dishonest ideas. They
save their earnings and put them where
they will do the most good, no matter how

and too sagaclous to take the chances Of
losing half their savings by foolish eX-
pcrimenting with the currency. With a
free silver platform the democratic party
would be deserted by an overwhelming ma
iortY of its Intelligent German voters

SOUND MONEY LEAFlET.

What will happen. voter. II you cast

happen:
Gold will disappear and the purchasing
power Of the silver money and the paper
money based upon II viii be Immediately
reduced to the bullion value Of tho silver

of the currency. The result OF this would
be that no bank, no business man, would
loan q dollar Of money. at least until BUSH
ness matters had been thoroughly re-
adjusted.
That would mean that factories and
workshops. which run largely upon bor-
rowed capital. would be compelled to close
until business could be readjusted.
That would mean loss OF your present
employment. even as unsatisfactory Is 1t
may be.
That would mean suffering for yourself
and family through hong period Of un-
certainty and enforced .daeness.
Do you want these things TO happen?
Contrast present conditions with those

voters accepted Democratic promises of
prosperity through their peculiar methods
four years ago. and the result has been
