It issafe to say that it can only ba broken by mutual concessions, and that no combination will hold in the final ballot which has for its object the electlon of a man whose record is not clear on the vital fssue of the day in Nebraska. No concessions of principle can be ex pected from the antl.-monopolists. They have been elected on a platform and are bound by pledges which they cannot deny, Any membar who dares to botray the trust committed to him will be branded forever as a traitor, and buried too deep for political ro- surroction. The failare of the repub- licans to combine is due to the cer- tainty that the leading candidate of WEEKLY BEE, published every aday.

Mr, Kelley is not the only congressman who is fashioning a tariff club with which to beat out his own political brains, popular, bat who dare not record themselves befire their constituents as supporting a men bound hand and foot by his monopoly connections. So long as Mr. Millard remalns the pre- forred candidate of the republican majority, the party strength must be frittered away {n complimentary votes on men who have not and never will have aay chance of success in the present contest. The one fact which the feultless balloting of the past week has made clear is the powerfal inflaence of anti- monopoly principles in the legislature. The lines have been drawn on this lssue in both the republican and democratic partles, Notwithstanding the loud mouthed professions of every candidate that he is in full accord with the sentiment of the people of Ne- braska on this vital lssue, members bound by pledges to thelr conatituents or who are ambitious of further polit- foal honors have shown that they are determined to take records rather than professions as guarantees of future conduet. Tuaeaday or Wednesday is likely to see the end of the contest., If present indicati-ns are to be relied upon the candidates of railroads will neither themselvessecarethe coveted honors or name the man who will wear the sen- atorial toga for the next six years The representatives of the people will never break the deadlock to allow the entry of the monopolies. They can afford to walt until a senator is made in whom the state oan mafely place confidence as an honest and able spokesman for her cltizens, whioh no one belleves would be the oase In the persons of several cof the aspirants who at present are leading in the race at Lincoln, Tae Sun says that Horatlo Sey- mour is & great political prophet. In he, indce¢? We shonld like to hear Mr. Seymour's prediction regarding the final result of a littlo senatorial contest now in progrees in Nebraska, Rev, Jou~ De Wrrr MiLuer in the Now Jorsey legislature prayed that no member might have to explain to his constituents how he got rich on a leg- {slator's salary. The attention of the chaplaios of the Nebraska legislature ava respectfully called to this suggest- ive pointer, Bince Governor Cullom's election the Illinols papers are making merry at the expense of Senator David Davis, David is no liviog skeleton but the assertion that he can't draw himself to his fall height without lylng down we believe to be a baseless slander. EEE——— SeNaTor Hoar secured his election through a dispatoh from Washington, which ordered Coogreesman Orapo’s frionde to throw their ' strength to the senator. And now Mr. Crapo de- nounces the telegeam as a forgery. It loocks as if Steve French, of New York conventioa fame, must have beon in Washington on Wednesday night, ANOTHER PENSION S1EAL. The house of representatives has voted by a heavy majority to take ap at an early day a bill which proposes to grant pensions to all surviving soldiera of the Mexican war. It also provides for the pensioning of all widows of soldiors of the Mexican war who have died since its clowe, This wholessle pension measure if passed will take according to the estimates of the commissloner cf pensions a triflo over $102,500,000 out of the treasury, Beforo all claims un- der it are finally adjusted it will in all likelihood be double or treble that amount, Pension estimates are in- variably below the mark, Now what excuse is there for this CorLorapo, Minnesots, Nebraska, and Michigan will probably elect sen- ators this week. It seems now pretty well cartain that the net result will be that the senate will b composed of 38 republicans, 36 democrats, and Ma-. hone and Riddleberger., This will learo the ropublicans one short cf a majority, and unable to elect a presi- dent without the aid of at least one of the Virgiuia senators. THE SENATORIAL CONT:ST ltha pensioners undor the oonld not exceed 5 000 {n namber. Tin re. port of the comuiission eiows that 8 808 soldiers of the war of 1812 are still borne on the rolls, while 26 029 widows are drawing pensions from ke govert ment. No honest man will as- sert ‘that the list has not boen grossly swolled by syatematic fraud and forgery. What the additional expense to the pennion cflise will ba if the Mex'can war pension schemo is passed no one can fairly estimate. The drain vpon the treasury will scarcely have abated from this cause before other bills pen- A fellow by the name of Sherman writes from Lincoln to the Platts- mouth Journal to say that— ‘‘Even Mr, Morton felt constrained to apologizs for the Herald's course, n a public conference.” This tellow Sherman is undoubted- ly a liar, Mr. Morton never apolo- gizan for the Herald, He has no oo- canion to apoleziza for the Hera'd, —Omaha Herald, The Herald's strongest point is its ease In apology. It has apoligized for every poeition which it has taken on public questions sines it came into its present hauds, both before and since the narrow gaugs controversy. No onue has ever any ocoasion for apologizing for its polioy. Its editor 1s certain to do it for himself the mo- ment It becomes to his intorest so to do. Oonsistency is not one of the jewels in the Herald's caskot. — rookless prodigality in the expendi- ture of the public revenues, Every soldior of the Moxican wa: who was in any way disabled has been pensioned long ago. Their widows have also been provided for by the nation, The country claims no gratitude for dolng their duty by the brave men who suf- fored in its behalf and the widows and children of those who fall fighting in its defense. But pension swindling has become boldly defiant of public opinion. Backed by the political cowardioo of senators and represonta- tives who aro soeking to make capital out of the soldier vote, the doors of the treasury are being thrown open to rob the people of millions for the ben- ofit of claim agents and perjurers, It is high time to ory halt to this madnees, There aro wready 260,000 pensioners on the roll, The salaries and expenses of pension agents amount to $224,705.26 aunually. The regular pension roll apart from arrearages foots up the amazing total of $60,000,- 000 a year. For the next year the cstimate of moneys required by ihe commissionor of pensions is one hun dred millions of dollars. Pablic opinfon will no longer sustain these bold-fuced raids on the treasury, Every dlsabled veteran ought to be snd will be taken of, The country knows its duty and s prepared to de it Bat it Is not prepared to offer any farther bonus to fraud and perjury. A glance at the statistios will show the organiz:d swindling of which the tax payers of the Usited States have been made the viotims. When con. gress passed a blll granting pensions to all survivors cf the war of 1812 ard to thelr widows, It was stated that SECRETARY TELLER has decided that withdrewals of railroad lands prior to the definite location of the road are inoperative and that settlers on such lands are protected under the sct of July, 1864, It is well known that it has been the custom during the era of land grants to withdraw the lauds for the benefit of the railroads long before the roads have fioally eettled thelr line, and the rights of vettlement un- der the vartous homeetesd, pre-emp- tion, and other acts were excluded from the lands so withdrawn. The decision of Becretary Teller roverses this aud holds that the settlements made by settlers on these withdrawn lands are good prior to the definite location of the road, A vast amouut of land was withdrawn In this mauver before settlement clatms had been made upon it, which, under Secretary Teller's decision, will be vold. care sioning all survivors of the rebellion will be introduced by the ring of claim agents and cortificate menufacturers who swarm around Washington, Nothing will stop these raids on the people’s atrong-box but an emphatic aud f.arless expression of public oplnicn, For, atter all, office hunting politicians care a good deal more for a public opinion which controls votes than they do for the approval of their consclences or for an honest and eco- nomical administratlon of the national government. — THE NATIONAL COMMITIEE. The repuplican national committee have met and adjourned. There will be general dissitiifaction with their work, Under the plan adopted by its members be no change is made in the basis of representation. Each state Is to be allowed four delegates at large and two delegates from each congressional district. Two delegates are assig1ed to each territory and the District of Columbia. Thiswill givethe next convention 920 delegates, viz., 162 delegates at large, 750 distriot delegates 16 terri:orial delegates and 2 from the District of Columbia, * The committee leaves it optional whether the district delegates shall be chosen by separate conventions or by subdividing State conventions into distrlet conventions. The fact cf the master is that the very elements which the republican party has beon trylng to shake out of political control, dominated the na- tional committee and impudently de- fied party sentiment by perpetuating the rotten borough and boss system in the choloe of delegates to the national convention, The party has become thoroughly tired cf having democratio states and the territories and two or three republican states under boss rule control its policy and nominate its standard bearers. It de- manded in emphatio terms that the states that would be called upon to eleot the president should have the largest voloe in selecting him, What justice is there in giviug » bourbon state like Georgia an equal power with republican Michigan in chosing a republican candidate? What reason except that a minority which commands the southern republican vote and which nearly carried the laac national convention by the votes of shouting delegates from states which gave Hancock his heaviest majorities propose to establish the government of the majority of the party by the fow. The action of the national commit- teo will be thoroughly resented by the voting millions of republicans. The majority must rule. Republicanism is already in too perilous a poeitlon to allow that portion of the party which can not make the fight to plan the campaiga. The great republican states which will be depended upon to elect a succossor to President Arthur must nawe the candidate. Aud the n xt couvention muM dec'are in language too plain to be agaln misunderstood that republican reprcsentation in the future muat be based upon the repub- lican vote and not upon democratic msjorities, AN association started in New York to ‘‘protect American industry,”is chiefly composed of capltalists whose business is slready protected by tar- iff imperts of from 40 to 80 per cent. There is evidently a slight mistake in the name. The organization should be called ““The association to foster American monopoly.” Ligur seems to be breaking upon the Phoesix Park mystery and the police court of Dablin on Saturday, in all likelihood, held the men who, if not gailty of the cowardly assassination of Lord Wreaerlok Cavendish, know the perpetrators and will reveal their names. The testimony given indi- cated the existence of two secret or- ganizations, both 8f which havo for their object the murder of English officials. Each seem to be the legiti- mate cutgrowth of O'Donovan Roesa’s dynamite soclety, and John Devoy, who is well known In America asa man who has lived for the past five yeara from the contributions of our laborers and servant girls, appears to have had a hand fu the business, Every promiuent Irishman, etther 1n Ireland or Amerlea will join heartily {n the wish that the brigade of secret assassing who have been plying their tradein Irelsnd for the past four years may be brought to justice, Home Rule 18 in sight for the *'Green Isle,” but every agrarian outrage tends to undo the work of patriots like Parnell, Davit: and Biggar, who are working through legitimate means tosecure to Ireland the rights of which she has been so ocruelly de- prived. The commission of crime unpopular, saticfisd Kansas that absolute prohi- seldom helps a cauge, and Irlshmen genorally will feol & genuine satisfac tion whon the mystery which has eur- rounded the dreadful tragedy of the Phoeaix Park assassinations is finally cleared away by the punishment of the culprits, Tue majority of leadir g Towa news. papera express decided eatisiaction over the decision of the supreme court on the prohibitory smendment, Many buldiy sssert that if the ques- tion were to-day submitted to the peo- ple, it would be overwhelmingly de. foated. The fact is that coercive tee- totalism {s becomivg more and more One year's experience bitlun could never be enforced. Scveral states where the subject has been strongly agltated are turning with in terest to the study of the Nabraska high llcense system.” No one will de- ny that the general effect of a high license on liquor selling hias been ben- eficlal, and that the law has generally beer eunforced. Under its provision drunkenness has diminished, the busi- ness has been placed largely in re. sponsible bands, and many of the worat evils connected with the traflic have been remedied. ‘SoME one was careless,” said Su- perintenent Fillmore of the Southern Pacific raliroad in commenting on the terrible accident «f Saturday evening by which elghteen passengers were bruised and burned to death. *‘S>me one was ocareless’ In the Spuyten Devil disaster where ten human be. ings losy their lives on Mr, Vander- bilt's road. Some one was careless in the Hudson River railroad accident where a mere boy was expected to do twomens' work, Soonerorlater thelaw will place its hands not on the over- worked and underpaid railway em- ploye but on the managers, who through a brutal economy compel their helpleas patrons to suffer from the lapses of employes expected to keep their wits while performing the labor which should be done by addi- tlonal help. — Mz MorTox is said to be down on Omaha because the Douglas county delegation are not friendly to his can- didacy. Omaha will try and bear the dreadful results of Mr., Morton's dis- pleasure while her representatives, if they voice her citizens wishes, refuse to vote for a railroad lobbyist. — TaE olonglt;d pole which is to|= knook down the senatorial persimmon has not yet put in its appearance but o half dozen fishing rods at Linocoln are waving in the air in close proximi- ty to the prize, Ir is & bad year for senatorial booms. —— The Richest Wardrobe in America.
