GORMAN sMITEs THE RATIO.

New York Sun: The Maryland platform
is a bald attempt at a political swindle,
clumsy, bungling, and as discreditable to tbs
intellect of these making it as it is disgrace
full to their moral sense and Indicative of
their political blindness. They are decelv-
ing nobody.
Louisville Courier-Journal German, al
ways a straddler, was at his best in the
Maryland convention Wednesday. He is for
silver, for gold, for both, for some O. one.
for some o. 'tother, for neither, for every
thing, for nothing, but now and always, yes
terday, today and forever for an office for
German.
New York Tribune: What a dear, funny
thing the democracy of Maryland is! 1t
notes with satisfaction the demand of G. 500. :
900 democratic voters last fall for free silver
and then ~flatters itself that it has avoided
the money question, and opened the way for
democrats who did not take satisfaction in
that vote to support 1t.
indianapolis Journal: 1t will be noticed
that the German democratic convention in
Maryland on Wednesday failed to endorse
the 16-to-1 independent silver coinage of the
Bryan platform, simply p~ledging itself to BIZ
metalllsm, which is predicted as sure to
come. Why not here now? Is not the
country using all Of the silver 1t is possible
to use and yet retain gold? That is real
blmetallism.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Democrats in Mary
land noted with great satisfaction that 6. 500
900 democrats in 1896 voted for free silver,
Is to l." but carefully refrains from saying
that Maryland wants any 16 to / In hers.
The fine hand Of Goreman played almost too
fine. He is for gold and silver, for Cleve-
land and Bryan, and for anything that will
restore democracy to power. Brer Bryan Is
coming out for bimetallism, and no longer
splits at gold bugs.
Philadelphia Press: Mr.. German had him
self named as chairman of the committee on
resolutions and brought in a hodge-podge OF
planks which he called a platform. His
success in keeping his face straight while
| reading the rigmarOle to the convention was
about as great a triumph in facial control as
was ever achieved. The money question is
| straddled and an attempt Is made to conceal
the general emptiness OF the document by
"pitching into" the republicans for all sorts
OF reasons. The general inference from the
work of the convention is that Senator Cor
man Is ready to subscribe to any principles
in order to gain a reelection to the senate.
New York World; Mr.. German has seen
light on the free silver question. But he
Affects still a blindness to the greatest and
most impossible OF all the issues which con-
front the people. His platform Is as silent
on the subject OF trusts and monopolies as II
is on the Chicago platform. Perhaps there
are easily understood reasons which would
make 1t a delicate matter for Senator Cor
man, the great leader of the senate holdup OF
the Wilson bill including its sugar schedule
to denounce trusts and monopolies. In spite
OF this omission the Maryland plan OF cam
paign is a significant and saagcious new de-
perture. promising democratic success and
practically repudiatlng the crazy ratio OF 10
| 70 /, or Ascent dollars.

A SEVERE ARRATGNMENT.

A most severe arraicnment of Chief
the Churchill-Russell police commission,
as we'll as the present commission, is
made by the World-iiclald IN its desper-
ate onslaught upon eX-Chief Martin
White. Everybody in this community
knows that rs the official organ of the
Churchill Russell commission the World
Herald stood up for the acts of the
commission at every stage. Today il
charges the commission indirectly with
conniving during nearly its whole exist
ence with policy shop gambling, which
according to its estimate robbed its vic
TINS of S135,OOO IA year. This charge
reflects not only on the integrity of
Broatch, NaudervOort & CO., but Is an
impeachment of Chief Sigwirt, Haze
and the wonderful set of detectives who
must have been either grossly incom-
petent or silenced with Doodle.
The assertion that the appointment of
Martin White would result in the re
opening of public gambling is n reflec-
ton upon the honesty and intelligence
of the present police board. There GER
tainly can be no public gambling or
private gambling to any extent without
the assent or conniyance of the police
commission, no matter who may be chief
of police.
The bombardment of White with all
the mud batteries can not obscure the
fact that the men for whom the World
Herald speaks are gamblers and the
associates of gamblers who have always
had its protection and who see in the
appointment Of White the end of their
hopes to makeO Omaha a gamblers Edo.

PROSPERITY POINTERS.

-~-@-H
Minneapolis Tribune: 1t is only a straw,
but a sweet scented one. A big sugar
planter in Louisiana, and the largest pro
Queer In the United States, has just raised
the wages Of his laborers 16l9 per cent,
Aud there will be others.
Pioneer Press: The action Of the disaster
shriekers in s.ubbornly blindfolding them
selves to the light of prosperity, whose glow
Is warming the land. reminds one OF the
Characterization OF the Irish agttator; ii
is never happy except when he is miserable
Globe Democrat: The advance OF wages
among sugar plantation laborers in louisiana
which 10 reported puts the story of the re-
cent business improvement In concrete shape.
Reports of advances in wages in other IN
dustries have also come within the past Few
days, but they will be more frequent here
after. At last the country knows definitely
that the period of Industrial disaster which
began in the summer OF 1898 has ended ana
that an era of business activity has set in.
New York World: Philadelphia reported
recently that on the preceding day forty
steamers had been chartered there to load
grain at different points for export, and that
it would take 1000, 900 bushels of grain to
fill these charters. This is the heaviest days
business on record, but In two weeks the total
amount OF grain for when shipment had been
provided was not less than 20, 900, 900 bushels.
This Is something more than a promise OF
prosperity. 1t is a beginning OF prosperity
with a guarantee of a very steady continu-
ance.
Chicago Tribune: The reports Of the com
mercial agencies for the last week are the
most cheerful yet. They tell a pleasing tale
of the arrival of better times. The marked
improvement in conditions IS due primarily
to the fact that the farmers have fine crops
and there is going to be a demand for them
which will give the growers good prices.
1t is estimated that the wheat-raisers OF
the United States will get about SSO,OOO,O 600
more for this years wheat crop than they
did for that of 1896. Then the farmers of the
great wheat-growing states Of the west Will
have that much more money to spend.
Newspaper Maker: 1t is rather ludicrous
to compare the dreadful howls in the edi-
torisl columns of the free trade democratic
papers about what trouble the Dtngley bhi
is going to bring upon the country with the
reports in the news columns OF the same
papers showing how confidence Is being re-
stored, and how the wheels of enterprise
and industry are beginning to turn again.
II these editors were disposed to treat the
question fairly, even If they could find some
other reason for this activity and better
feeling manifested in their own neighbor-
hoods, they would not furnish such a re-
freshing comedy as they do when making
the different departments OF their papers
clash.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Davenport Republican: One large Chicago
firm predicts SO-cent corn not far away, aud
so instructs it's correspondents throughout
the corn belt.
Burlington Hawkeye: Last year the sill
yer orators glibly assured the voters that
'au ounce of silver would always buy a
bushel of wheat" Are there any Iowa farm
ers who are anxious to exchange their wheat
at that rate?
Des Moines Leader: The present summer
recalls the summer of 1879. In 1873 a panic
occurred; following 1t a depression, not
shaken off for six long and weary years. The
year 1879 was one Of abundant crops in
America and short crops abroad, and the
trouble was over. We now have substan-
TALLY the same condition as III 1879. Now,
as then, we have the realization of abundant
crops in portions Of the country and a prom
Use of them in all, and now, as then, the
crops of other countries are short. Every
thing points to the largest exports of agri-
cultural products in our history. AS the
farmer prospers we all prosper. The hard
times will soon be but a memory.
Davenport Democrat: A. w. Kicker, mem
Der Of the fusion state central committee
for the Second district, has long been a
populist. In giving his reasons for with
drawing from the combination he says: 'lf
we surrender now and give up the peoples
party, which | insist we will do by con
tinuing fusion, then we have lost our power
as a political factor" This is good politics
as well as e0und sense. The populists who
were drawn into the fusion trap now see the
mistake and are trying to get out of it,
They will join their wiser brothers who re
fused to bite at the bait, put up a ticket of
their own and support it. In the meanwhile
let those who have deserted democracy and
republicanism worry along. They are sure
to travel a hard road with nothing at the
end of 1t.

The story that a man was frozen to death

CAUSE FOR CONTEMPLATION.
Shutting on the Wind Supply OF
Calamity HOwIers.

Two more states are to be congratulated
upon the shutting off of the wind supply Of
their political grumblers. One of them is
Nebraska, which is harvesting an enormous
wheat crop and has an uneXcelled promise
of corn; the other is Kansas, whose governor
declares that kansas finds herself today
with more OF her debts liquidated and her
finances in better shape than, perhaps, any
other state in the union" Last year Kan
sas and Nebraska were the most doleful and
persistent grumblers among the agricultural
states, and between them they supplied the
most persistent and voluble beraters of CAPT
tai, banks, railroads, manufactures, and al
most everything else that affects business
throughout the union. This year, unless
their people are mentally incompetent to
save money or to spend it to advantage,
these two states will have to look up some
thing new to grumble about. OF course they
can find neighboring states to abuse, but
that is a dreadfully old-fashioned and stupid
way of treating people with whom the COM
plainants have many interests in common.
In their time of prosperity let Kansas and
Nebraska do something in the line Of social
and political improvement-not talk about
1t. The remainder of the country is ready
and willing to learn anything worthy to be
taught by teachers so large.

SALE OF THE UNION Pacific.

Buffalo Express: The adjournment OF
congress makes II possible for the sale TO
proceed and for the railroad to be taken
out of the hands OF receivers and put into
running order on the new basis before the
session Of next winter. The opposition to
foreclosure came very largely from the
Southern Pacific railroad, the other lines
which are able to compete against the Union
Pacific better while II is in the hands Of re-
%ceivers, and from some OF the holders OF
watered stock. The property itself and the
people along the line are pretty certain to
be served better under the reorganization
A more energetic and enlightened policy can
be pursued. How the government will fare
remains to be seen. 1t certainly cannot
be any worse off than IL has been up to this
time through the regular demand upon 1t
for interest charges.
Denver News: 1t may be remarked as a
general proposition that the reorganization
OF the Union Pacific on anything like an
equitable basis will be beneficial to the in
terests of the country tributary to Its lines.
With the great weight OF debt cleared away.

dominate traffic as 1t did when its power eX-
tended over the rails of the Oregon Short
Line to the north Pacific coast, at Port
land, and southwest to Fort Worth over the
Gulf. The old system is a wreck, never to
be restored. The present order of sale in
cludes only the main line from omaha to
Ogden, and does not touch either the old
Denver or Kansas Pacific properties. While
these lines are consolidated with the Union
Pacific, and are comprehCnded within one
issue of stock, the bonds are of a different
series, and will require separate DEGREES for
their sale. From the Tooth meridian on the
Kansas Pacific to Denver, and from Denver
to Cheyenne on the Denver Pacific, there are
no government bonds. Only a land grant

POLITICAL EFFECT OF PROSPERITY.
Good Crops and Good Times Viewed
with Alarm In Certain Quarters.

Good Crops and Good Times Viewed
with Alarm In Certain Quarters.
Baltimore Sun.
Senator Manderson of Nebraska counts on
the prosperity produced by this years excel
lent wheat crop to undermine populism and
Bryanism in the northwest. The crops Of
1894 and 1895 were small there, but the
abundant crop of 1896 brought In much
money, though sold at a low price. Conse-
ouently. from $25, 900, 900 to $50, 000, 900 OF
mortgages were paid off last year, he says,
in addition to the reduction of mortgage
debt effected by foreclosures. This years
combination of good crops and good prices
will further improve the situation. The
revolutionary proposals OF the Chicago plat
form were an expression, he thinks, of the
discomfort produced by hard times. Some
people, when hard pressed, give ear to vio-
leat proposals, which they would %repudiaie
when in a position OF more comfort. The
populists have made many believe that the
hard times were due to the gold standard or
value and that there could never be good
times again till a cheaper dollar took the
place of the gold dollar. Returning pros
perity, with the gold dollar still the stand
ard, is a practical refutation of all such
teaching. 1t cannot fail to have It's effect,
since the average man will prefer actual
prosperity with 100-cent dollars to promised
prosperity with a 50-cent dollar. Senator
Henderson traces much OF the western de
mand for violent remedies to the exploded
real estate booms, which left thousands
Of people in debt and distress. But real
estate values are now, he says, improving
and trade Is more active. The same obser-
walton applies to the silver agitation In the
south, which was afflicted sadly a few years
ago with real estate booms and their conse-
quencas. The real estate boomer Is every
where an eloquent man. when hurt by
want of success In his boom operations he
was too often disposed to lay the blame on
the gold dollar rather than on his excessive
