It isnot best to rely upon the state central com- mittee for any loeal work, though the commitiee will assist and second the bestefforts of the party in all parts of thestato. It isthe local workof indi- vidual Zrepublicans in township, town and county that is most efective, and yields the best results at the polls. Knowing this, the central committec rely largely upon such workers for suc- cess, more than to the inflienco exerted at mass meetings and grand rallies by ourbest orators. It is to lato now to nurse any disappointments or heartbhurn- ings over nominations made, Tuk democratsof Ohio are hinting at & political scandal that is very liable to be wearthed, and if it is unearthed it will engulf the Hon Calvin A. Brice, denocratic senator from that state, It is insinuated that Brice, wholives in the samo distriet in Ohio, when he does notreside in New York city, with ex- Governor ¥oster, will not assist the Hon D, D. Hare, democratic nominee for congress, in his campaign aguinst Foster! From a democratic stand point such imoctivity is treasonable. But roally Mr. Brice does not owve the demo- eratic pirty much, Ho bought his sen- atorial oloction and no doubt paid his bills, Iis elevation in political life is du¢andowing tothe credit side of his cash acount lelger, balanced on the debit side by the purchasabllity of dem- eoratic logislators, BUSINESS ME N SHOULD ORGANIZE. In some towns of the state, notably Doatrico and Crote, the business men have entered actively into the campaign aguinst prohibition. By organization anl bythe exercise of their personal influence thoy are doing escellent work inimpressing upon publicattention the practical facts which demonstrate the great injury to the prosperity and pro- s¢ of Nebraska that would result from the application hereof the policy of prohibition. We are credibly in- formed that many business men in the towns mamed, and elsewhere, who have hitherto favored prohibition, are now among the most active in opposing it. A careful study of the debateson this questionhas convineed them, as practi- calmen, that they ean expect nothing but dis from prohibition aster o their materinl interests, with the equal cerhiinty that the policy would prove to be ns great a failure here, wherever not supported by public sentiment,as it is conclusively shown to be in Kansas and lo va. Thoy realiza that it woull bring aboutan enormons aggregate decline in proper values, that it would produce general business stagnation, that it would check thegrowth of population, and that in every direction touching the material welfareof the state its effect would be most damaging. Thishas bo n the un- questionable oxperience of all states that have experimented with prohibition, and there no reason 0 suppose that it wauld not be repeated in - Nobr It is alre evident that it would be, for the apprehension ot the possiblosuccess of the prohibitoryamendment iscausing o vast amount of capital to be with held from Investment, has curtailed business in almost every depart- ment enterprise, and is keeping people out of the state. If these things avo taking place now, simply from a foar that prohibition may be successful, what is reasonably to be expected if that policy should be victorious? Why, that the idle capital awaiting the resule would scek investment elsewhere, that all business operations would be further restricted, and that thousands of our people would go to other states. No man who gives any weight to the argu- ment of facts and expericnce can doubt these would he tho consequences of pro- hibition in Nebraska. Tho business men of every city and town in the state should see the fn- portance of concentrating their energy and influence to avert this threatened danger. They should organiz clubs where this question could be fre- quently discussed and which would be ors of information and in- fluen An immense service to the cause of anti-prohibition can he done in this way, vastly moro than it is possible to accomplish by individual effort. Tho next four wecks oughtto witness o great increass in the vigor of thecampaign against prohibition, and espocially is it incambent upon business men everywlhere who believe this policy wauld bo calumitous tothe material in- terests of thestate to throw the weight of theirinflusnce against it. This they can most effectively doby organization, THE VICTORY IN IDAFIO, The republican victory in Idaho was not unexpected, though the majority in- dicated by the latest returns is some- what larger than was looked for, There wasno good reason why the democrats should have entertained any hope of canying the new state, but nevertheless they did havo such a hope and made a very vigorous fight, with the vesult of showing more strength than the repub- licans believed they would. The details of the contest yet to be obtained will perhapsshow to what extent the Mor- mon vote figured in theeclection and how it was cast, but the inference is that it was not largo and that the republicans gotas much benefit from itas the demo- crats. Thiselement in Idsho appears not to have been well pleased with the democracy, and since it could mnot con- sistently support the republican party the conclusion must be that very few Mormons voted. The contest for the United States son- atorship was instrumental in giving vigor and interest to tho republican campaign, and it is likely to continue to keep upa lively commotion in the party until a selection is made. Delegate Dubois and Governor Shoup are candi- dates, butboth aro from the southern part of the state, while the partyis pledgedto eloct one senator from the pan-handle, or northern Idaho, The candidato from that section is Judgo Clagett. Allthreo stumped the state, and while each was veully laboring in theinterest of his senatorial ambition, theeffect of theircombined offorts was very good for the party, Thus the two states admitted into the union by the present congress have shown their gratilude by casting their vote for the ropublican party, and will increase the ropublican majority in the national senate by four and in the houso of representatives by two. The example of these states may properly he commended to the emulation of all ~the other new commonwealths whose ad- mission into the union was due to the favor of the republican party, Thero s doubt asto only one of these, Montann, which really ought to be us sufely ro- publicanas any of the others if political gratitudo had any welght. Howevor, the republicans have more than n figh ing chance in that state, Theroare no more state elections to be held until No- vember 4, and tho record thus far made is altogether encouraging torepublicans. COAL COMBINES AND RATES . Ata low estimato fifty thousand tons of hard coal are consumed annually in Omuha. The present priceis nine dol- larsa ton, but the average cost per ton dullng winteris fully ton dollavs, mak- ing an outlay ofnearly half amillion dollars a year for hard coal, If we add to these figuros the amount of soft coal consumed for heating, kitchen and power purposes, the total outlay for fuel in this eity exceeds twomillion dol- lars anoually, Hard coal is essentially the fuel of the houwe, Its slow burning qualities and cleanliness make it awinter necossi Yet the manner in which the produet is manipulited by dealers, commission mon and railroads, the price places it boyond ' the reach of thousandsof people. ILtis | west could o luxury which hundreds of people can enjoy but sparingly in this eity, and hundreds cannot afford. From the moment it leaves the mine until it s delivered to the consumer, it {8 controlled combinations. Competition is de- ved. The average consumer in the not buy it at the mines, It must pass through the channels of the various combines, each of which derives a profit, while railrond rates are so ar- ranged as to prevent consumers from dealing with jobbers at distant points. Boetween the railroads and the com- bines, consumers aro compelled to pay excessive prices. The open rate for car load lots from Chicago to {the Misourl river is three dol- lars per ton. The quoted price in Chicago is five dollars per ton. Fifty cents perton is charged for drayage in this city, making the apparent cost of a ton of hard conl in Omaha eight dollars and a half, But the costis far less, as s shown by tho fact that the local deal- s offered to furnish the city and county withanthracite at a f on less than eightdollars per ton. Tfthe dealers can furnish the city and county with coal at that price, it is evident the average con- sumer pays one dollar per ton more than a falr profit on the business. Coal isa staple article fty transported by the railroads in such vast quantities offors less risk, Despite the Lities for loading,moving and un- loading at destination, the rate from Chicago to the Missouri river is double that charged from the mines to Chicago, a greater distance. To the dealers in Omaha there is novisk. Businessbeing doneof acash basis, there are mo bad debts to collect from the paying pur- chaser. The conclusion is inevitable thata three-dollar freight rate, gauged by cost on service and risk, isunjust and exorbitant, and the local retail price ex- cessive and unwarreanted, KaNsas Crry appealed to the rail- roadsfor reduced conl rates,and the Alton promptly responded with a cut of fifty per cent. This example of corporation sightis conmended to the Omuha- ago roads as onme they cannot emulate too soon, INthe history of Omaha there is but one instance of reduced transportation rateson coal from which consumers re: ceived a benefit. The time is ripe for another reduction of the exorbitant tolls on this great staple, No commod- Tue funeral directors have cut loose from the National Burial Case assoc tion. The immediate se of this di- vorce is shrouded in mystery, but the dissolution is an event of grave import. CHEAPER coal means inereased con- sumption and comfort.

New York Sun, The jury at Woodstock, Canada, found Reginald Birchall guilty of the murder of C.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. It is ovident that Balfour's very blunder in Ireland will have consequences of importance, The narrow eseape of Mr, John Morley frem sharing the fate of some of those who were bratally asswited by tho plice has brought home to tho English people such arealizing sense of tho brutality of the Irish polico systom na they have not before had. There is littlo doubt but that Mr. Morley will maceas effcotiveas possiblethis object losson in the crdinary application of coercion. The accounts agroe that ho was as much im- pressed with the unfairess snd. injustico of the proceedings iuside the court room at Tip- perary as with the brutal clubbing without. The English people havo been told ovor and over again that tho erimos act could nov bo enforced fn England, so outrageously offensive are its provisions; but they have never had its actual operations de- soribod by so able and so entirely trust- worthy a witness as John Morley. His story of what he saw in Tipperavy is likely to af- fect publie opinio. The Inshman accused under the crimes act has no right of veial by jury, but must appear before a magistrate, Wwho is & part of the system against which he bus offendod, and whose bins 1s strougly against the defendant from the firstus is shownin the Tipperary cases. Magistrate Shannon, who has loag been & personal an- tagonist of Willism 0'Brien, insists upon sitting In judgment upon him, in spite of O'Brien’s protests, Every polut of law is decided with alacrity against the pris- oners and every roquest denied. On _tie other hand, the crown prosocutor is grave allowed to amend coarges not in the the prosecution by s complaint to include arcant, and i3 alded ha magistrates, who do not even maintaitgdlio appearancs of impar- tiality. Brutalith vy the police and unfair ness and persccMtion by the magistrates, these are some of tho charscteristics of Bal- fourism which Mr. Morley will put before the the English poople’ from the platform and from hisseat in paliament. Further than this, he will show’ thom that the wholo na- tionalist movement has been revived and solldified by this attack, and that any com- Ppromise betweon M, Paruell and the govern- ment is now impossible, For thoorigin of the recont reveltin the canton of Tieino, Switzerland, we must go back 10 1575, when the conservatives gained control of the cantonal government of Ticino, having obtained a majority of 6,000 at tho bLallot box. This preponderance, which in view of the small population of the canton was very marked, wonld have assured to the conservatives nlongtenuroof power had they pursued a moderate course. They proceeded, however, to act upon the doctrine that to tho victors bolong the spoils—a doctrine which has seldom been adopted by the Swiss, cither in tho federal or cantonal administration. Not only did they thrust out of office every radical who was removable, but in some instan cos they seem to have infringed rights guaran. teod by the federal constitution, for en appeal to tho federal tribumal the canton was com- pelled to pay an indemnity of $30,000 to cer- tain extruded oficeholders, Theradicals had other and graver causes of complaint, Somo members of their party were shot in an afliay atStabbio, and it was asserted and wilely bolieved that the assassios wero ac- quitted because the; rtisans of the conservative gover Then, although the treasurer of the canton proved a defaulter andlost 475,00 of the cantoual funds in speculation, the conservative authorities mude strenuous efforts to shield him from punishment. What most contributel, how- ever, to wealeen the conservatives was their abolition of trial by jury. Perceiving that thelr majority was in danger of extinction, tho conservatives in 1881 revised the contonal constitution of Ticino, abolishing the thirty-cight electoral di- ons which had previously existed, and sub- stituting twenty-one mew divisions, so adroitly gerrymandered that atthe last elec- tion 12,00 conservatives olected soventy- seven membersand 12,100 radicalsonly thir five members of the cantonal legislature. The radicals thereupon petitioned the cantonal legislature to permit a so-called referendum, that is tosay, an appeal to the people, who should bocalledupon to say by thoir votes whetherthe former thirty-eight eloctoral di- visions should not be restored. This request was refused. In accordance with constitu- tional forms the radicals oughtthen to have addressed the same demind to the federal council, but this thoy deemed it useless to do, because that body, which endeavors to ob- serve neutrality Bétveen conservatives an radicals, has ropeatedly avoided acting upon similar petitions. ‘Tho radicals preforred the rough remedy of a revolution. * A In spite of the wido belief in regard to the valie of Equatorial Africa to European powers, there are public men in Great Brit- ain who do not look upon Englund's acquisi- tions with ax t degreo of satisfaction, and who, in fact, maintain that they are not worth having. Sir John Pope Hennessey, ‘who was at one time governor-in-chief of the West Africa settloments, has gathered a formidable array of facts in reference to the slow progress which ciartered companies have mude in promoting cultivation and advancing civilization, and to the uwmsuitiblemess of the contral platean of Africa to Europea cultivators, either asoverseers or workmen, Many of these statenents are taken from the best authorities on the subject, including n Mr. Stanle) and when collated they nlyshow thatthere las been much ex- £ ion in the talkk about commercial and colonial advantages.
