1t appears to be the prevalent belief
In Canada that the United States will
win its case before the Alaskan Boun-
dairy commission, which will soon meet
to consider the question. submitted to
1t. 1t seems to be the quite general
view among Canadians that the British
member, of the commission will be per-
suaded to find in favor OF the American
contention in the interest Of interna-
tional good viii, but there are others
who think Canada will lose because she
has not a good case, which is the simple
fact The correspondent at the Domin-
ion capital Of a London paper points
out that the weak feature of the Cana
dian case is that 1t has the appearance
OF being an afterthought, which In
truth 1t is. He states that it was not
until about 1887 that Canada began to
insist that the United States was claim
ing too much and adds this frank ad-
mission: Indeed, we scarcely regarded
our case as worth the candle until after

course, we desired to control the routes

This is a true statement Of the cir.
cumstance that induced the Canadian
government to make its preposterous
claim, which it insisted upon in the
high joint commission to the exclusion
Of all other matters for the considera.
ton of that body. The position OF
Canada in respect to this question is SC
clearly unwarranted and untenable tRat
1t is not surprising that her people ex

against the Canadian claim. 1t has alb

In the opinion Of that paper It would
not be difficult for the democratic rank
and nle to vote for Cleveland again,
"for they like him and trust him." The
Eagle argues that his nomination would
end all bubbles about recent or future
platforms. HE would be the platform.
His career and character would be the
guaranty Of the restoration of .repose,
Of strength, of consistency, of dignity,
Of wisdom and Of trained experience

third term objection, the Eagle brushes
it away with the remark that there

out the merits of the iorner president,
our Brooklyn contemporary talks in this
evidently earnest and confident way:
"The eravltation toward him now is
u~nmistakable. 1t is growing hourly and
daily. The east attests II. The north
recognizes It. The west is stirred by
1t. The south is alive with it. The
democracy of the whole nation is not
only conscious of it, but is viviied,
and sends its hopes and its prayers
forward in its behalf. Moreover, he
is far stronger than his party. And his
party, with him and with the 1ndepend-

would prove to be far stronger than its
republican adversary. In short, Grover

appreciate the fact will appreciate it,
the moment they give their thought to
the situation as it exactly is and as 1t Is

Here is matter for the serious con.
sideration Of Colonel Watterson and
Mr.. Bryan. who may safely be expected
to give 1t the attention it merits as the
utterance of a newspaper which mus
be presumed to voice the sentiment of a
large number of democrats in its sec

concerned, it would heartily welcome
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland, whC

An UNNfTIgATEp OUTRAGE.

THE right Of the people ~peaceably
to assemble 10 consult for the common
good shall never be abridged" This
guaranty Of the freedom of public dis
cussion is engrafted in the Bin of Rights
as the first article Of the constitution
Of Nebraska. The ,forcible breaking up
of a public meeting, called by the work
ingmen Of Omaha to discuss the relative
merits Of political candidates for city
offices, by the interference Of police I'M
der direction of William j. Broatch, was
an unmitigated outrage that should
arouse Just resentment from all liberty
loving American citizens.
Free speech in political assemblies is
guaranteed by the Bill Of Rights and
any Interference by the police strikes a
blow at individual liberty and free in
stitutions. The police force of Omaha,
like the police of all other cities, is
created for the maintenance of public
order and not for the creation of dis
t%urbances in public meetings and the
dispensing of the people peaceably as
sembled to discuss political issues and
political candidates.
While there might have been some
excuse for the presence and interven-
ton of policemen in turbulent meetings
OF workingmen engaged in the strike,
there is absolutely no palliation or ex-
cuse for bringing squads Of policemen
into a gathering purely political with
no reference whatever to the strike be-
gun in Omaha on the first of May. In
stead of being conservators of the peace
our policemen, under the domination of
the present commission, headed by Des-
perado Broatch, have been converted
into law breakers and mob makers.
Whether Mayor Moores is reelected
or not, it becomes his duty to assume
personal control Of the police and put
an end to Broatchism and police tyr.
amy in Omaha. 1t was proper for the
mayor to abstain from participating
with the police board, whose title was
called in question and pending before
the supreme court, but now that the
decision Is rendered he must assume
the duties and take the responsibilities
of the craftsmanship Of the board ant
the direction Of the police in conformity
with the letter and spirit of the law.
Police board usurpations and polio,
tyranny must have an end, at least fol
a time. Whatever may be the outcome
Of the election, Governor Mickey will
be called upon to put an end to tn,
police commission usurpations and out
lawry. An outraged public sentimen
will demand the summary removal o
members who violate law instead O
conserve law, who levy political black
mail upon liquor dealers and bargain
with them for immunity from prosecu
ton for violation of the law.

OBJECT LESSON FROM MEXICO.
Concessions Must BE Paid for and
other Condition. Complied with.

DelTOlL tribune.
Mexico affords us many profitable and
interesting examples Of a government for
the Pc ople. Her well known method of
controlling enterprises which create wealth
out of the resources of the country is far
more profitable than our way OF throwing
away public franchises and giving corpora
tionS the right to exact unreasonable rates
without paying a reasonable fee for the
privilege. An example OF the up-to-date
Mexican method is Afforded by the conces-
sion granted to H. H, Moran and ]. e
Meyer for quarrying and preparing lItho-
graphic stone.
THE concessionaires are to work a quarry
Of lithographic stone, on land belonging &c
the government, leasing the land or ac-
| curing II by purchase. Six months after
the date OF concession the company shall
submit plans OF the buildings, machinery
and materials, as we'll as plans Of the ter
rtory to be worked. Construction is TO
commence within one year. and to be com
pleted within three years. The govern
ment will appoint an inspector, and the
company must pay into the treasury $4,000
yearly for salary and inspection expenses
payments TO cease when workshops and
machinery shall have been erected. Tho
sum OF 800, 900 is to be invested In the en-
t~erprise. The company is to import appa-
ratus, materials. tools, etc, free OF duty,
The plant is TO be open TO the scholars
OF the national schools, and the company
shall give the students such information
as may enable them 10 pursue their studio,
intelligently. The capital. buildings and
other property Of the company are to be
exampt from federal taxation, except the
stamp tax. The company is TO be Mexican

Here It may be seen the government for,

THINGS THAT NEVER DIE,
CHARLES Dickens.

NlldllNS ANnNAh'
The pure, the bright, the beautiful
That stirred our hearts In youth,
The Impulses of wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and ruth;
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in griet's dark hour
That proves "A friend indeed;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens NIGH
The sorrow of a %contrite heart
These things shall never die
The memory of a c~lasping hand,
The pressure of a kiss,
And all the trifes, sweet and IRAN,
That make up loves first bliss;
II with irm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high, .
Those hands have clasped, those lips nave
met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word.
That wounded as II fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfadlng record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love-
Be firm and just and true,
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say TO thee
These things shall never die.

There have been stranger things Do
htically than the nomination of ex-
President Cleveland by the democratic
national convention mex year would
be, assuming, which IT is not at all diff
cult TO do, that he would accept a NOM
nation. Mr.. Cleveland has been a good
deal in the public eye and attention
recently. The cloak of obscurity which
mantled him for several years after
his retirement has been thrown aside
and he has been a prominent figure
in several important public events, max
ing characteristic addresses which have
received some consideration and being
everywhere accorded cordial greeting.
attesting that he retains considerable
popularity.
The Brooklyn Eagle, one Of the ablest
and most influential Of the Independent

urges the nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland

regarded as the only man who could
beat Theodore Roosevelt. "AII tn,

The candidacy Of L. A. Benson for the
mayoralty of Omaha has been a conf
dence game from start to finish. Ben
son started out as a candidate for the
republican nomination and became a
turncoat because the delegation from his
own ward agreed to desert him and
throw their votes to w. w. Bingham.
From the republican convention the
Benson boomlet was trundled into the
populist convention, and for the sake of
a beggarly two hundred votes Benson
allowed himself to be nominated as a
populist, although he has nothing In
common with populists, just as his
brother allowed himself to be nominated
for the supreme bench of Kansas as a
socialist two years ago just to get some
cheap advertising and ~notoriety. Benson
is posing as a great anti-corporationist,
but nobody in Omaha has ever heard him
raise his voice against the wrongs per-
petrated upon the community by cor
porations and ~monopolies. He knows
that he has no possible chance of cleo.
ton, but is being used simply as a stalk
lng-horse for Howell, the democratic
candidate, under false pretenses, and YET
he persists in the game of political
bunco to the end.

Pront in Paying Good wages.

We pay more for labor than European
countries and, paradIxically as 1t may
SEEM, that is where we have them. If
American Industrial advancement has
proved one thing more clearly thar an
other 1t is the fact That good wages is a
profitable investment on the part of the
employer. 1t produces a standard of eff
nciency which more than offsets the added
expense. Good wsGes means well-fed and
well-clothed labor and ultimately intelli-
gent labor. II a well-cared for horse can
do more work than one which is half
starved and neglected 1t is safe to assume
that a well-fed man will accomplish more
than one who is indifferently nourished.
The world has come to understand that
race and natl onal supremacies are ques-
tions largely of a food supply and high
wage usually means good food in suficient
quantities to- meet all the needs of the
individual.
