Norfolk Journal: The decision of Judge
Hall that Gene Moores plea that he didn't
steal as a public officer, but as a private in

wrong is IN line with the position of the

OMAHA As A CONVEN TION CITY.

Omaha is extending invitations to a
score or more great national organiza-
tions to hold their 1898 meetings in this
city. The special inducement which
Omaha has to offer these gatherings is
the Transmssissppi Exposition, which
will be open during the entire summer
and autumn of next year. The eNpOsi-
ton and the great conventions will con-
fer reciprocal benefits on one another.
The opportunity to study the display Of
the resources and products of the marvel
Gus west should attract increased ut.
tendance upon the conventions. and the
assurance that representative delegates
to these different organizations will visit
the exposition from all parts Of the
world should stimulate exhibitors to par
ticipate in the show. The more varied
the national gatherings locat ted in Omaha
for 1898 the more varied and eXten-
Sve exhibits in the different lines OF
industry and art may be expected, and
at the same time the more will the
visitors find in the exposition of special
interest and appealing specially to them.
But Omala's claim rs Il convention
city does not rest solely on the eXposi-
ton. Great national meetings must be
held at places readily accessible from all
directions. Few cities in the country
excel or even equal Omaha in railway
facilities. With steel roads radiating
to all points of the compass and at con-
venient distance from Ill the larger
cities of the central west, there is no
possibility of embarrassment in getting
big bodies of people in and out of the
city. The multiplicity of roads, too. is
conducive to most favorable excursion
rates and insureS a competition among
them as to which can offer the travelling
public the best accommodations.
Conventions require conveniently To-
Gated halls for their meetings. Omaha
has in the Coliseum one building large
enough for the largest meetings and
will probably have another of similar
capacity by next year. 1t has several
auditoriums of moderate dimensions and
any number of smaller halls available
for smaller assemblages So far as
meeting places are concerned it could
easily take care of two or three of the
ordinary national conventions at the
same time.
Neither will there be any trouble about
accommodations for delegates and visi-
tors to conventions and exposition.
Omaha has always had fair hotel and
restaurant facilities and before the eX-
position opens it's resources in this line
will be materially extended and inl-
proved. Council Bluffs, only few min
utes ride across the river, stands ready
to help out in entertaining guests during
convention periods. No national conven-
ton should hesitate for moment about
accepting Omahas invitation for 1898
for fear that the convention city will
not perform its full duty toward making
its meeting Il success.

Permanent prosperity is national, not

Permanent prosperity is national, not
local. At the same time national condi-
tionS are made up Of the aggregation of
local conditions. Business Improvement
in omaha may be more marked than in
other cities because of the impending
exposition and other promising enter
prises. but no one city can thrive while
others stagnate. The forces that are
working for Omaha's advancement are
operating to the same end throughout
the country. To tiatter ourselves that
we alone are the chosen people to the
exclusion and dctriment of all other
communities in the country is the height
Of presumptive Self-assurance.

SPLIT WIDE OPEN.
Town Gold Democrats Outside the Sill
Ner BrenstNNOrks.
Minneapolis Times (dem).

mlHHedIollS lllntS NltHl
The split on the money question in the
democratic party of Iowa is very serious and
may be permanent, About twenty OF the
leading gold democrats of the state met in
Des Moines a few days ago and called a
convention of gold democrats to meet on
July 7. Nothing was said in the call about
a state ticket, but ii is understood that one
will be nominated If the silver democracy
fails to nominate ticket and adopt plat
form which the sound money men can sup
port. 1t is said to be a foregone conclusion
that the regular organization will indorse
the Chicago platform and nominate silver
men. The nomination of ticket by the gold
men. therefore, seems a foregone conclusion
At the gold conference Mr.. Wilmer. one of
the leaders, declared that the sound money
people OF Iowa cannot bow down and yield
all of the principles that We hold dear for
the sake OF old friendship nor for the sake
Of victory" Colonel Martin, another member,
aaid: ~ do not propose to stand long at the
door OF the temple. beating my breast to
get into an organization j do not wish TO
belong to-" Mr.. Dawson. editor OF the Des
Moines Leader, took a different view lie
contended that state election does not have
anything 20 do with this national issue. But
the majority overruled him.

1t Is to be noted that the so-called sill

that they seem to have reawakened to

those of silver mining. The silver states

AMERICA INVADING ENGLAND.
The Latter Striving to Approach
American Superiority.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The fact that the American manu-
facturers are displacing those of home
production is becoming more and more
apparent to both producers and con-
sumers in England and the former class is
much disturbed by it. Greater cheap
ness and superior quality, in some cases the
one and in some the other. and not seldom
the two combined, explain why the Ameri-
can article is preferred to the domestic.
Mr. Passmore Edwards, proprietor of the
London Echo, which is reDuted to have the
largest circulation of any daily paper in
Great Britain, in address a few days
ago, after laying the foundation stone of
a technical school builIing given by him
to his native county of Cornwall made a
statement which surprised his hearers and
which had the desired effect of setting them
thinking. Abiding to the fact that some
London and some provincial papers had
been deposited in the cavity Of the stone,
he said all the London papers are printed at
the present time by machinery made in
America or in France aid almost all Of the
paper that Is used in the daily press of
London is produced in America Not only
are the London papers using American made
paper but in few months they will be us
ing American made ink. Mr.. Edwards HUI
morOusly referred to the experience of his
fellow traveller from Lordon, the architect
of the new building. Before leaving he
bought small clock for fifteen shillings, be-
ing attracted by its cheapness and good
make. On examining 1t on the way down
he found that the mechanism was made in
America and the frame In Germany.
Mr.. Edwards said that with the mineral
wealth under their feet and having also the
mechanical skill Englshmen are permitting
Americans, Swiss and Germans to defeat
them because they havu not hitherto turned
to the best account the opportunities within
their reach. The establishment of technical
schools is an endeavor to recover the ground
lost by past neglect

People and President.
Kansas City Star.

The generous welcomes which the people
OF the south have extended TO the president
i'm the course of his journey from Washing
ton 10 Nashville were highly gratifying The
demonstrations along the route over which
the presidential party passed were indicative
of the confidence felt by the people in the
patriotlam and integrity OF the man who oc-
cupies the office OF president. They prove.
moreover, that the prejudiees which have
heretofore maintained the sectional lines
that marked what was called the Solid
South" are giving way before the progress
of a broader patriotism that recognizes the
fact that republicans and democrats, north
terest in the prosperity Of the country. The
cordial reception OF President Mckinley in
the Virgin3s and Kentucky is significant
in that respect and gratifying because it
means better things for the future OF the
country.

THE MONEY SUPPLY.

In his speech advocating export boun-
ties on agricultural products Senator
Cannon said that the chief cause OF low
prices was the contraction of 1.-THE thing
with which We measure commodities.
"That thing created by law called
money" said the Utah senator, sis not
now sufficient to do the measuring of to-
day and as we can get nothing without
its first being measured, we cannot get
1t except we have II sufficient volume of
money with which to measure it," 1t
is needless to say that Mr.. Cannon is an
advocate of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver.
There Is no truth in the statement that
there has been Il contraction in the sup
ply of money. The last monthly bulle-
tin OF the government, estimating the
amount and kinds of money circu-
lating in the United States, SHOWS
that as compared with the state
ment of June l. 1896, the total
money supply outside the holdings
of the treasury has increased Sl3S,OGO,-
600, or nearly o per cent. OF this amount
over S2I,OOO,OoO was in silver dollars
coined. This large addition to the sup

There really is no great difference of
opinion on the tarff among republican
senators. Each senator wants to make
sure that the interests represented
among his constituents get fair treat
ment, and in the adjustment the chance
for mistakes is greatly limited. The final
draft of the tariff bill will be along pro-
tective lines laid down in republican
platforms and will deserve an honest en-

We said some time ago that the police
force should be reorganized at once, but
little heed was paid to our suggestion The
ignorance and stupidity of Captain King re-
quires no comment; the fact of him sending

is sufficient evidence of his incompetency
and lack of common judgment, and leaves
no more to be said on the subject. We
would suggest that the commissioners order
another stripe on his arm and one on his.

gallant services.
