for the unfortunate man. Thefact that ho was convicted entirely oncircumstantial evidence also broughthim sympathy from those people whothink that u human Ufa ought not to beput in jeopardy upon that sort of evi-dence.

¬

. Doth these classed will there-(ore iind relief in the confession of Ncnl ,

while everybody , except , perhaps , thosewho are opposed to capital punishment ,will find satisfaction in the fact that jus-

tice¬

has boon done and the law hus beenVindicated.

, the murderer , has paid the pen-

alty¬

of his awful crime in an Ignomin-ious

¬

death upon the gallows.-Tlio

.

atrocity of this man's foul act hasfully justified the inllictlon of capitalpunishment. Cupidity alone incited himto commit the dastardly deed. Therewas no sort of palliation or excuse forthe assassination of a venerable farmeroh'undy past three score nnd ton and hisfeeble , ngcd wife.

Although Neul was convicted solelyupon circumstantial evidence , the webof proof was so complete as to leave nodoubt of his guilt. Ho had a fair trialbefore an impartial jury and the casewns carefully reviewed by the supremecourt and the governor of the state.The supreme court alllrmo.d the verdictand the governor declined to interfere.-AB

.

if to vindicate the law nnd removetill shadow of doubt of his guilt , thecondemned criminal , just before thedrop fell , confessed his crime nnd statedthat he alone was responsible for thefiendish deed.

The final confession relieved the mostsensitive conscience from the fear tha-

an innocent man wns to bo executed andleaves pi blic sentiment satisllcd thatjustice has been none and a foul murderhas been rightfully avenged-

.It.

is twentyfoulyears since the deathpenalty has boon indicted in Douglascounty and it is entirely fitting that themost atrocious murder ever committedin the county should thus be avenged.The life ot a human being is a sacredthing. It is awful to think ot a legalexecution , but the fiends in human formwho deliberately plan murder are dan-gerous

¬

to society. The world's oxporl-once has shown that capital punishmentis the only adequate penalty which canbo indicted upon such bnings. The lawis inexorable ; it has borne the test of

centuries of jurisprudence and all civili-sations.

¬

. It has the divine approval aswell as that of the great human con ¬

science.The end has come. The soul of the

murderer has gone to meet his God ,

perhans to see and know those who woreliis innocent victims. The book is closedand so far as human law makes it possibio the blot which his crime loft uponthe fair fame of this community hasboon wiped away. Let us hope theawful punishment indicted will be re-

membered¬

by tlio viciously disposed andwill restrain them from acts of violenceagainst their fellow men.-

TOaKTIIKR-.It

.

was tlio late Samuel J. Randall whoadvised the democratic party to "got-together.. ' ' An illustration of the ideawas furnished when ox-President Cleve-land

-

and Governor Hill addressed ademocratic meeting from the same plat ¬

form. The appearance in such relationof these two distinguished exponents ofthe doctrines of democracy is by nomeans , however , to bo regardedas conclusive evidence that tlioyhave got together in the senseconvoyed in the admonition of Mr. Ran ¬

dall. There is no reason to suppose thatthe sentiment of these democratic lead-ers

¬

toward each other is any morofviendly now than it was before themeeting at which they wore both pres-ent

¬

, and all the world knows , throughthe conflicts of their supporters , whatthat sentiment has long been. It doesnot follow from their being together onthe same platform as counsellors-of democratic harmony that eitherwill bo any loss.ealous inhis efforts hereafter to defeat the pres-idential

¬

aspirations of the other. Thatthey came totrothor on this occasionsimply demonstrates that both realizethe desperate character of the battle inwhich the democracy of the Empirestate is now engaged , and the necessityof bringing every force nnd influence tobear in order to save the democraticticket from overwhelming defeat. Afew days ago , speaking to a NowYork democratic club , Mr. Clevelandsaid that united and persistent work wasnecessary to win. His language wasnot the speech of confidence. Hia ad-

dress¬

at Thursday's ratification mootingwas hardly moio encouraging to hisparty. If Mr. Cleveland were the firstof optimists in politics ho could not fallto bo disturbed by the outlook forthe democracy in New York. A largopart of the independent vote ,which for years has been roll-ably democratic , will this year bo castagainst that parly. Even moro serious ,

perhaps , than this is the revolt ef Gor-man

¬

democrats against the methods ot-

Tammany. . A few days ago Mr. Her-man

¬

Oelrichs , longprominonlas a loaderof the German democrats , resigned asmember of the democratic na-

tional¬

committee wholly ,as a pro-test

-

against the arrogant domin-ation

¬

of Tammany. Mr. Oelrichswill bo supported in his revolt by thou-sands

¬

of Gorman democrats to whomthe cause of Tammany hai become In-

tolerable.¬

. The repudiation of tlio demo-cratic

¬

t.ickot by Lieutenant GovernorTones may bo a less serious factor in thesituation , but it is not altogether unim-portant.

is the situation of affairs thatmade an imperative demand on GroverCleveland and David LSQimott IliU toallow their hostility to slumber fora fewhours while they should plead for theirparty , but everybody understands thatonly a ilesporato exigency could havebrought them together.

v' ____ _SOMEWHAT AT SKA.

The democratic leaders are not nunit in their views us to what should bodone by the next house of representa-tives

¬

regarding the tariff and silver. It-is plain that a great deal of discussionand caucusslng will bo necessary inorder to tigrooupon n plan of action , andespecially to determine whether thetariff or silver shall Imvo precedence.Opinions recently expressed by a few ofthese loaders will Indicate the diverganco-of views and show how far they uro at

sea ns to what ought to bo the course ofthe enormous democratic majority Inthe liouso of the Ffty-socond congress.

One of these loaders from a southernstate urged in a recent interview thatthe policy of the party should bo toput the revision of the tariff before allother questions. That , he declared , isthe chief end of the existence of thedemocratic party just now. Members ofthe house having boon chosen upon theissue involved in the tariff hill passed bythe last congress , in the opinion Of thisloader It is Iho duty of the democraticmembers to act according to the verdictpassed by the people in choosing theirrepresentatives. As usual with demo-crats

¬

when talking of tariff revision ,

this gentleman had no suggestionto make as to details , but ho wasentirely certain that the first dutyof the democratic majority in the houseIs to bring forward a measurerevising the tarilT , and until this hasbeen accomplished the silver questionshould bo kept subordinate. Anotherloader , also from the south , was equallyconfident that the silver question shouldat least ho given a position of equalitywith the tarilT. Ho did notoxpoct thedemocrats would bo able to enact intolaw , any measure they might pass oneither subject , but they should go onand pass a bill providing" for thefree and unlimited coinage ofsilver and one revising the tariff , and hohud no doubt the former would bo givenprecedence.

This much appears to bo pretty weltassured , that tlio next liouso of repre-sentatives

¬

will do little more than actupon those questions and provide theappropriations necessary to run thecovornmonl , and the probability is thaithe silver men , who doubtless havesufllciont strength to do as theyplease , will insist upon giving sil-

ver¬

iw much prominence as the tariff.-It

.

is possible that the result of the elec-tions

¬

in the states whore free and unlim-ited

¬

silver coinage is an issue may bosuch as to somewhat cool the ardor ofthe advocates in congress of that policy ,

but the passage by the house of a freecoinage bill may undoubtedly be re-

garded¬

as a foregone conclusion. It is-

by no means certain that such a measurecould bo got through the senate , thoughthe silver people are figuring upon beingable to do that. At any rnto the pos-

sible¬

o'll'cct of-Bitch' legislation will bodiscounted far in advance , so that if abill should pass congress proyictinir forfree coinage it would not bo liKely to doany serious harm. As to tariff revisionit is not at till likely that anything thedemocratic-ways and means coininllte ofthe house may do will bo concurred in-

by the sonata , so that the manufactur-ing

¬

interests of the country need ..borrow-no trouble on this score. On the wholethe promise is that the work of the nextcongress will not bo particularly inter-esting

¬

or important.-

EXCOUltA'JE

.

THE HOARD.Each day at 11 o'clock the secretary of

the Board of Trade and the grain deal-ers

¬

of the city meet in the chamber ofcommerce to trade in grain. . Althoughthe movement in grain is small andthere are no flouring mills , and- malthouses or other enterprises for creatinga largo local demand , the grain men aremaking very fair headway in bringingOmaha up to a grain market.-

It.

now behooves other business mento encourage and assist the boardby meeting with the grain men at theopening hour. There they can congrotratodaily for'nn interchange of views on thetrade outlook , and discuss projects thatwill stimulate commercial intercoursewith Omaha by the people of the sectionnaturally tributary to her.

Secretary Nason has requested thefeed and milling men of the city to visitthe board and buy grain on samplesoffered there. The heavy Contractors andlarger liverymen might likewise find it-

to their interest to go to theopen board to make contractsfor grain and hay. In time the commis-sion

¬

men in other lines of farm , orchard.and grain products can likewise makethis a rendezvous and so by a littleunited effort the open board can becomethe important center of trade in Omaha.Lot every business man give this subjectattention and have it understood that theChamber of Commerce Is business head ¬

quarters. _________' THK morbid curiosity shown by allclasses , sexes and conditions of peopleIn connection with the Neal executionsuggests whether it is not desirable toadopt the system prevalent in some otherstates in executing murderers. In Ohio ,

for example , when a murderer is sen-

tenced¬

to death ho is removedto the penitentiary tit Columbus ,

and ho is executed there on-

tlio appointed day between mid-night

¬

and morning. The law specific-ally

¬

proscribe who shall witness theexecution , the number being few , andof course the public lias no opportunityto gratify a morbid curiosity. Thecrowds of people who stood about thejail and occupied the roofs of houses forhours before the hanging of Neal didnot. furnish an edifying commentaryupon human nature , and yet such scenesare unavoidable where executions areconcluded with us much publicity asthat of yesterday. It is unquestion-ablv

-

more in accord with Iho spirit ofthe higher civilization to dispose ofmurderers sentenced to death in the wayit is done in Ohio. Another suggestionis whether hanging , that so often re-

sults-

in strangulation , its was the casewith Neal , ought not to bo generallysuperseded by some less barbarous andequally sure method of producing death.

OMAHA busines men should make thehour of the open board , 11 a. in. dally , nplace of meeting for the encouragementof the enterprise. Every business manin Omaha is interested in this undertak-ing

¬

and It cannot grow Into tin Import-ant

¬

without the cordial co-operation ofour representative citizens.-

No bettor Judgment can be rendered uponn thing than that which la based on trial.The republican party nnd the congresswhich onnctod It , had to appeal to time for n

vindication of Iho McKlnloy larlft law andtuo treasury department wn * today enabledby the use of statistics and Ilgurcs gatheredfrom official channels In the commerce of thecouutrv. to render n vordlct which cannot bodisputed , since It has ns tv basis flguros whichcnnuot llo. The bureau ot statistic * In thetreasury department deals In the Ilgurcs ofthe oftlclnU of our ports of ontrv nnd else-where

-who hnvo direct supervision over the

iorolgn nnd domestic commerce. Their re-ports

¬

nro as nccurato ns the statements nindo-by bank) since the oftlcors nro accountable tothe department for customs dutlos , etc. , uponthe Ilgurcs they return.

The annual report of the chief of theDuroau of Statistics which uupcntod today ,has bcon moro eagerly anticipated than prob-ably

¬

any other report ovur Issued bythat bureau , since It glvea tno llr.it-ofllclnt Indication of the actual working ofthe now tariff law nnd for thnt reasonthe report will cut an Important llguro-In the pending state campaigns. It canbo Mated positively , however , that It will notbo circulated us a democratic cnmpnign docu-ment.

¬

. It Is the best argument thnt could bo-

mndo In favor of the now tariff law nnd-mnkos ridiculous nlmoat every nisurtton thnttins been mndo ngninst Iho tarilT now levlol.With u design to answer the many nuostiouspropounded by men In nil political partial ,

the report covers the eleven mouths that thenow tatilT Inw has boon In operation. In thefirst place It shows , for the llrst time In thehistory of the country , that the percentage ofexports has increased much Jailerand moro largely thnn Iho imports ,

and the Imports ndinlltod free ofduty aggrcirato nearly 48 par cent.The of increase of goods ndnuttedfree of duty wns lim ; , mostly on account of-sugar. . The last huff of the eleven monthsshows n greater Increase in the growth oftrade In our favor lh u the llrst half , show-ing

¬

unmistakably that the longer the lawstands , the bettor It operates and giving thedirect negative to the assertions that If wopassed the McKlntoy tariff bill wo wouldruin our export trado. It has greatly helpedIt and is with reciprocitv building it up farbeyond the fondest hopes. The most im-portant

¬

feature of iho snowing of course Isthe growth of the export trade under thenow law , as it indicates tlio expanse of ourforeign market. The increase of ? IOOSr. ; ; l

in our exports during the olovou montiisending August : tl , last , was nearly two andone-halt times greater than the average an-nual

¬

increase of exports during the twentyyears prior to IS'.M' , which was fiOToO1.! ' .')

During the same cloven months the valueof thu exports of merchandise has exceededthe value of the imports by the sum of77iOOU5.; : ( The importance of this largooxco.ss of exports over imports will bo ap-preciated

¬

when it Is compared with the ex-cess

-

of exports of the fiscal voar IS'.M ) , whenit was fOS.Sig.urfi. In 18811 the balance oftrade was against , ui and the imports ex-ceeded

¬

the exports by fc7HO77.! In 1SSS thebalance against us wns still larger and ttieimports exceeded the exports hy"$2S,0 ! , ( u7-

.It.

is observed in the report that the value ofour exports for the olovcr. months exceedsthe value of the exports for any year In ourhistory by 7000010.) The statements indetail show that the Inrgo Increasu In our ex-ports

-Is almost wholly confined to the pro-

ducts of agriculture firstly and manufacturesecondly. The increase in our cxpons Isalmost wholly confined to the products ofagriculture firstly and manufactures secondly ,

the increase in the exports of agriculturalproducts being $: !3'JSII"I7 , while the exportsof the manufactured products Increased tothe amount of J19JSiJ70.'

but I have learned from sources that I be-

therefore , vote for Judge Post , for I knowsomething of his nbllity to fill the ofllco nc-
