P, INGERSOLL, of Johnson County, A LASY APPEAL | Every tax payer in Omaha, every merchant, every manufacturer, every mechanic, every laboring man has a vital interest in sending to the legisla- ture from this county a delegation which will do their duty without fear or favor. No man who is employed by & railroad corporation and no man | whose success in business depends on their good will can honestly discharge this daty. Tt is all important that | the present outrageoun system of rail. road taxation be abolished. The bur- denn of government should be borne equally by ail classes of property. It is important that the passenger rate bo reduced to threo conts a mile, and that & corresponding reduction be made in thousand mile tickets, It is important that the Doane law should be so amended as to make it more effective in preventing discrimination and extortion, For Lieutenant-Governor, P, B.REYNOLDS, of Hamilton {County.

Vote againat the amendment. Mgz, Barxer thinks ho is a bigger man than the city council. Mr. Bar- kers' tail feathers onght to be prompt- ly olipped. He is fiying too high for the public welfare. WaRs are expensive luxuries. It is eatimated that the war with Egypt har cost Eogland, exclusive of the army of occupation and the Indian contingent the sum of $20,000,000. —— Tue biggest frauds of the day are the Marriage Tusurance assooiations which are gulling the credulous in every western state, but which seem to thrive particularly in the south, The swindle has been exposed and the postoffice department are seizing the mails as far as practicable. In Texas strong thrests of lynching have driven several of the managers of these in- stitutions from the state, while legal prosecution has been instituted against four of these double frauds, Marriage is enough of a lotiery with- out taking chances in a gift enterprise schems before the nuptials are cele- brated. Tug profound ignorange of English- men on American subjects s pro- verbial. It is said that the word It is important that Omaha should have her charter so amended as to make the board of public works exe- cute the will of the people regardless of corporate pressure, Above all things it is tmportant that we should have men at Lincoln who will not fail their constituentajin any emergency. This is the aim and object of the farmers’ and workingmen's ment, In making up their legis- lative ticket they have sought to carry out this idea, The republican ticket as is well known was made up by a syndicate in connection with the railroads, A ma- Jority of their candidates are heavy shippers, shackled by their obliga- tions to the railroads for favors. Others are employed by the railroads or pledged to support railroad candi- dates for the Senate. Right here is the most vital point. Do the citizens of Omaha want an- other bridge across the Missourii Do they want any legislation in Congress for their relief? If so what hopes have they from the leading candidate, Joe Millard, whose business relations to the railroads are such that he could not afford to do their bidding? He was government director of the Union Pacitic several years ago and never dared to open his mouth against the abuses from which we aro suffering, Are we forever to remain in a state of of vassalage? Are we never to have representatives in the legislative to make laws for the many and not for thefow! Thia is the problem which is presented to the voters of Douglas county. Will they solve it! If they do thelr duty the enlire farmers and workingmen’s tickes will be elected? ] THE BUSINE {8 OUTLOOK. There is,universal complaint emong merchants that the business boom which was expected from the abund- ant crops has not come, The lull in trade during the past few weeks has been very marked in the great whole- sale centers and reflocts the condition of business in the smaller towns throughout the country. Orders from the country merchonts refuse to come n, The mildness of the weather Is raising anticipations of a warm winter and in consequence the demands for heavy winter goods is small, This condition of affairs is assisted move- by the unwillingness of the farmers |! to sell their wheat and corn. They regard the present offering as too low in comparison with the price of meat and are generally inclined to hold back nutil prices become better. This of course diminishes the ready money in tho farmers districts although the ‘‘jerrymander” (instead of ‘‘gerry- mander”) is used with confidence in England now, on the strength of the explanation given by the Pall Mall Gazette n fow weeks ago, The phrase, according to this authority, ‘‘is an American one, signifying,” ote., ete., ‘‘and is derived {rom the name of the inventor of the plan, a certaln Col, Jeremiah Mander!” The word de- rivea its uame from Gorry the Massa- chuseits politician who first iutro- duced this favorite form of partisan redistricting, ! FIVE PAIRS The republican legislative ticket, dictated by the synci packed convention, is to through a nade up of five pairs. Each candidate iv supjosed to control his own pair, Those way benind the screen know however, that a mejority of the whole ticket will vote for Joe Millard after they have paid their compliments to the man that claims them, The following is the order of the Procession: Alvio Baunder's pair—W, J, Con- nell and Frank Colpetzsr, Joe Millard's palr—Fred W. Gray overflowing bins and corn oribs con- tain a larger wealth accumulation than has been harvested since 1878, While the exportation of grain has been steadily diminishing our foreign exchanges have been rather encouraging than otherwise, During the last four months we have exported 70,000,000 bushels of wheat, an amount considerably exceeding that exported during the same period last yoar, The increase of our exports of domestio,products as compared with October of last years is some £700,000 which is a gratifying showing. The lull in trade is indicated by the clearing house exhibits which shows aso of neatly 3 per cent, in the of business when compared with laet yesr, Warm woather has wjured the dry goods trade, Owing to tho ubsence of speculation the iron trade bas been dull, and the money wmarkets have been moderately easy. The genoral outlook, however, is not discouraging, We have plenty of surplus wealth on hand in our far- wers' barus, which will move sooner or later. The fact thav it can be held and Henry Buessenbach, J. 0. Cowin's pair—C. H. Dewey aud John Ohristophersen, C. F. Maunderson's pair—W, J. Broatch aud L, M. Bennett, Olinton Bragg's pair—J. R. Clark- son and Joseph H, Taylor, is the strongest possible evidence of the healthy state of the country from # finauciai standpoint. e——— Few have any idea of the cost of municipal government. The reports of national expenditures are kept before the public eye by the stump orators and tho partisan press, but the expenditures of our great cities, their bonded and floating debt and their rate of taxation are not so ems- ily maintained, The salary list of New York city officials aggregates £4,128,000 yearly, and 17,909 persons are on the pay roll. A TO THE WORKINGMEN The hour has come when your are to demonstrate whether you are will- ing to protect yourselves through the ballot box. You have proclatmed to the world from time to time that you demand equal righ.s and privileges with the favored few who control cor- porate capital. You have pledged your honor to each other to enforce your rights in this unequal straggle with the only weapon at your com- mand, As citizens of a free country no man has a right to dictate whom you shall choose to represent you in the legisia- turo or in the halls of congress. Those of you #ho are employed by the rail- roads know that the bosses care noth. ing about your condition after you havo finished your day’s work. You are looked upon as voting cattle, Yon are discharged on a day’s notice without warning, no matter whether you have a family to support or not. Tho immense crops harvested in the wost may pile millions into the coffers of Jay Gould, but you receive no benefit in an increase of wages from the increase of earnings. A short time ago the edict was issued to levy a monthly head tax of fifty cents upon every man, woman and boy in the employ of the Union Pacifie. That edict was suspended for a while because the bosses didnot dare to risk political defeat this fall. Withia a fow weeks, when cold winter stares you in the face, that head tax will be enforced in spite of your pro- tests. Every effort is being made to divide you and break up your ranks. A gang of renegades who pretended to be your leaders, are sowing the seeds of discord, and are playing into the hands of monopoly by concocting all sorts of stories against the regular workingman's candidates. Will you play into the hands of the monopolies by voting for candidates whom you know to be their tools? Will you throw away your votes upon men who cannot be elected at all, just to please vhem? Thero always are and always will be some candidates on workingmen's tickets who are objectionable to some, But if you do not stand solidly shoulder to shoulder for the whole tlcket you are liable to defeat your beat friends. Can you afford to do this? Halfa million of people in this state are anxiously watching for the result in Douglas county. Upon you depends the outcome. If you do your duty every man on the working- men's ticket is elected. If you fail you will all be disgraced. TO-DAY’S ELECTIONS. Thirty-three states to-day hold gen- eral elections, Interest in the result is at a higher pitch than usual owing to the republican revolt in various sections of the country, and because it is believed that the republican party is about to rebuke at the polls the ar- rogance of its self-constituted leaders. Returns to-morrow will generally be compared with those of 1880. Of the thirty-three states, fifteen went re- publioan in that year and eighteen democratic, the pluralities being as follows: REE RN B, REP, {DEM, Minn, .. Goor, Tlinol 53, K00 f In fifteen of the states governors will be elected to-day. Congressmen will be chosen in all and delegates elected in elght territories, The terms of twenty-six United States senators will expire next March, Of the twenty-two legisla- tures to beelected on Tueaday, four- teen elect United States senators when they meet for the states of Col- orado, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebrasks, New Hampshire, Now Jersey, North Oarolina, South Caro- lina, Tenuessce and Texas, The next congress will be composed of 325 members, or thirty-two more than the states were entitled to under the last, Two hundred and ninety- threo membera will be chosen at to- day'a elections, The present compo- eition of the house is 148 republicans, 130 democrats, 8 greenbackers, 2 road- justers and b vacancies. Seven statesWill vote on constitu tional amendments, the most impor- tant of which is that respecting the aboltion of canal tolls in New York, and the granting of woman suffrage in Nebraska, Predictions of results are difficult, but republican defeat is confidently looked for by the democrats, and generally admitted by republicans, in New York, Pennsylvania, sndisns and Colorado. It is hardiy possible that the disaffection in theso states, which mainly concerns the state ticket, will not also affect the congres- sional tiokets, THE DAILY BEE: TU SDAY NOVEMBER 7 THE JOWA AMENDMENT. The constitutional amendment, pro- hibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors in Towa, which was supposed to have been adopted last June, has been declared invalid by the district routt of Davenport. The case brought to test the amendment was a singular one. A purchaser of beer was sued for its value and pleaded that the sale of beer was void under the amended constitution. The brewers in return set up the plea that tho amendment was not legally adopted because, as presented to the house, passed by that body and voted wupon by the paper, it was different in lan- guage from that passed by the senate whero it originated, The section of the Iowa constitution relating to the amendment is as followe: “Any amendment or amendments to this constitution may bo proposed in either house of the general assem. bly; and if the same shall be agreed to by a majority of the members elocted te each of the two houses, such proposed amendinent shall bo en- tered on the journals, with the ayes and nays taken thereon, and referred to the legislature to bo chosen at tho next general election, and shall bo published as provided by law, for three months previous to tha time of making such a choice, and if in the goneu% aseembly 80 nex* chosen as aforesaid such proposed amendment or amendments shall bo agreed to by a majority of all the members elected to each house, then it shall be the dnty of the genoral assembly to sub- mit such propored amendment or amendments to the people in such manner and at such time as the gen- eral assembly shall provide.” The amendment as proposed in the eighteenth general assembly and as adopted by the senate was in the fol- lowing terms: “No person shall manufacture for sale, or sell or keep for sale as a beverage, or to be uscd, any intoxicating liquor, whatever, in- cluding ale, wine and beer.” The words “or to be used” were dropped either by ignorance or design. They were omitted by the house of the eighteenth goneral assembly and by both branches of the succeeding legislature, and is aleo in the form upon which the people voted. Judge Hayes decides the amend- ment invalid, upon two grounds: 1. That the act submitting the amendment is not. set forth in full in the journals of the legislature, nor is there any record of the yeas and nays taken upon the bill; and 2. That the two houscs of the legia- lature did not pass the same bill, the one adopted by the senate prohibiting the use of liquor for any purpose whatever, and the house prohibiting its use as a beverage only. The decision has created a great sensation in our sister state. The question will, of course,be taken to the supreme court, where there is lit- tle doubt but that the decision of Judge Hayes will be sus- tained. If this decision is rendered, it will take three years to formulate and present another pro- hibitory amendment to the Iowa con- stitution and by that time common sense will probably win the day, and the attempt to enforce temperance ex- cept by a system of high license, such as is operating so successfully in Ne- braska will be rejected. The Iowa prohibitionts.s have overreached themselves, and the result is likely to be for the best interests of all con- cerned., INpIAN INsPECTOR PoLLOCK may be a fraud, and his record as bad as stated but the very grave charges which he brings against the manage- ment of the Pine Ridge Agency under Agent MoGillicuddy deserve the full- est investigation, Mr. McGillicuddy has been noted as one of the best agenta in the department, He is firm and unyieldlng, His grounds and buildings are said to be kept in an order superior to those of any other | agenoy and fewer discontented Indians -|are found in the reservation, Pol- lock, however, declares that the agent has been gullty of every crime in the calendar, He chargesthat his accounts are short, his books not written up, that he has sold stores to the traders and made false repor s to the dopart. ment and feathered his nest with gov- ernment funds, There is a general muss all around, Pollock has been suspended for disobeying orders. Another inspector has been sent out to investigate, and mean- while MecGilllcaddy holds the fort, The entire muss is not likely to raise the Indian bureau in the pubiic esti- wation, LITERARY NOTES. ' Houghton, Mifiin, & Co., the Bos- ton publishe s, have issued Emerson and Longfollow calenders for 1883, which have wany featurcs to commend them to public favor. They are in the block form, each being embellish- od with decocations suggestive to the life and writings of the poet which it commemorates, Selections from the notahle poems of the authors are given for each duy of the year. These are admirably chosen, and they form a series of passages of great beauty and place in the literaty world and worth- 1ly fills the place. ~The Century 1llus- trated Monthly Magazine teems with the best current literature and gives its readers the thought of the time hot from the {urnace blazing with the fuel of movements, events and dis- cussions, thus becoming a headlight on the track of progress and a beacon for the world's work, The St. Nicholss engages the young mind while yet under traiving in the 18, and plays the part of o genial monitor out with the girls and boys on a holiday—directing amusements, guarding the games and making plens ure of instruction. Its mission is even wmore important than that of The Cen- tury, in that it is a juvenile oducator in literary taste, Both these maga- zines'sre conducted with signal abil- ity, and in full view of the whole field and the responsibilities involved. They are recognized leaders of the times, Doctor Zay, by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, author of “‘Gates Ajar,” ‘‘The Story of Avis,” “The Silent Part. ner,” “Friends, a Duet,” &c. This ia a delightful ntory, which will have a special interest for all who sympa- thize with the woman movement for equal education and the enlargerient of tho sphere of woman’s work. “‘Doc- tor Zay’ is a story with a purpose, but the purpose is not obtrusive and the events and inctdentz glide on smoothly, creating interest and satis- fying at the same time. MKlizabeth Stuart Phelps is a most charming writer of fiction. Her style is fresh and peculiatly her own; hor character drawing s strong, and original thought sparkles in all her pages, This work cannot fail to increase her already brilliant reputation.
