Tn itation for reform in the man- agement of public funds grows steadily inthe west. Both candidates for tren uror in Colorado have given public pledgesthatall revenses derived from the uscof stato doposits, or from any other source, shall be covered into the state treasur penefit of the peo- ple. Similar pledges from the Nebraska candidates would be warmly greeted by tho taxpayers, Tire: double-ender, in its gr riling two parties at one and the same time, is giving ovidence of suffering a considerable strain, or justance, this fsthe nows with which it shocked Mr. Boyd and his friends by a dispateh from Soward yesterday morming: The delusive hope of the old party that alliancemen will desert the ranks at the polls 1s without resson. Theyare in thefight to stay, About onethinl of the alliance strength of the county are old leading demo- cnts, aud thebestmen of the county, Thoy aro the most enthusiasticworkers, and resent asan insult the cry that they will all votethe democratic ticket and desort their brothers atthe polls. The democrats have been assuring themselves that the alliance strength would all bo drawn from the republi- cans, as the few domocrats in the organ- jzation would go back to their old faith before olection. But here comes the Boyd ongan, in its capacity of whoop'or- upfor-Powers, with testimony of most startling mature, If one-thivd of the allianco are democerats, who have dasertol the party for good, then thera fsno hope for Mr. Boyd or tho demo- cratie party, nowor hereafter, Butany hopes that democratic readors soe shat- tered in one department of thedouble- endor thoy can find rehabilitated In some othor department. For the double- endor, hosidos being the most versatile shoot on earth, s also the funniest news- paper in the United States, west of the oftico of Putk, actof the PROG ]I OF THE CAMPATGN. Thore are encouraging advioes from all parts of Nebraska regarding the pro- | gress of the republican campnign. Large and enthusiastic meetings overy- where attest the growing interest in the | rank and file of the party. | havebeen expected as the intelll ration of thesituation, As =00n a8 the republican farmers of the state wers enabled to ealmly and ¢ fully reflect upon what was offered them by th 1 partics, to weigh the ehances of securing the fulfilment of their wishes through any other party than the republican, and to fairly con- siderthe claims of the ropublican party to their continued confidence and sup- port, disaflection bogan to disappear. The hopel of the independent movement, which serves no other pur- pose than as an aid to democratic sue- cess, and the certainty that nothing lelpful to the material intercsts of the state, and cspecially to the agricultural an reasonably be expecteld from the democratic party, have con- vinced republican farmers that whate over just cause of complaint they may lave respecting the faults and omissions of the party in the past, the present is 1ot an auspicious time to abandon it and take the risk of a democratic adminis tration of the affairs of the state. The effect of this is appavent in the repiddecline of the independent move- ment, which is nowhere showing the vitality of a fow weeks ago, and very ly is playing an insignificant n the campaign, Its leaders havo sel bousting, and for the most part are eontinuing their efforts to keep the movement alive simply with reference to possible personal advantages at somo timein the remote future. A steadily decrasing following has dulled their enthusiasm, but they must maintain someshow of activity to save themselves from falling into utter political obscur- ity. The indieationsare that the election will show the independent movement in Nebrska to be the sor t failure ever digniied as a politieal revolt. With the decline of this movement democratic hope diminishes, The solo relianceof the demaoer: shoenupon the suceess of this ¢ Its failure means demo- ratie defeat. The situation, therefore, is entively en- couraging to the republic: The party may not win by so large n plurality as two years It is not reasonably to he expect But there nothing in the present conditions or indications to warrant adoubt of Mean- time there must be no abatement of the aggrressive work now being done, but on the cont it will be well to infuse greater encrgy and earnestness into the campuign, The fact that the enemy on the run does mob justifyany abate- ment in the activity of the pursuit. Sound generalship requires that he be more vigorously pressed. If this be done, sbraska will retain her proud position in thelist of republican states and will be represented in the Fifty-second con- gress by afull republican delegation. < This was to psult of an several politic SSSN0KS interests, Wi 1S, go. is its success, is RENUNCIATION OF POLYGAMY, A shorttime agoPresident Woodruft of the Mormon church issued a mani- festo proclaiming the abundonment of polygamy as a doctrine and practice of the church, Doubt was expressed both of the authority and the sincerity of this edict, It was held that the president of the church was not authovized, of his own motion, to thus expunge a doctrine of the church, and that no Mormon was bound to pay any attention to it so long as it stood simplyas the action of the head of the church. Asto the sincerity of the manifesto, it was not difficult to interpret partsof its language so as to warrant a doubt that it meant all it pro- fessel to mean, and those predisposed to question the honesty of everything pro- cceding from a Mormon source were casily convinced that the octogenarian president of the church was seeking o pay a shrowd and sinister game. This unquestionably the universal impression among the gentile popu- lation of Utah, as voiced by the anti-Mormon press of the terrl- tory. The fecling was that polygamy was so firmly established as a cardi doctrine that it could not possibly be in- duced tovoluntarily surrender it. The report of Governor Thomas to the seere- tary of the interior, forwarded since the Woolruff manifesto, says that the atti- tude of Mormonism respecting poly- gamy is delusive tothe lust degree, and that “there is no reason to belicve that any earthly power can exact from the chureh any declaration opposed to po- lygamy.” In view of all this, accopted genarally as o just statement of the Mormon attitude vding polygamy, the act neral conference of the church in unanimously recognizing the authority of the president to issuo his manifesto, and necepting it as authorita tive and binding, puts the doubters on the defensive. Notonlydid the confer- ence without a dissenting voico accept the edict abandoning polygamy, but it rveadopted the original arti- cles of faith, ono of which req ulr that the church shall be subjoct to the constituted authoritics and there was public recognition given to the supremacy of the laws against polygamy which have been declared constitutional by the supreme court of the United State: This would seem to put troublesome and perplexing question, which has been a source of agitation for more thana quarter of a century, and it is & matter upon which the country is to be heartily congratulated. Tt is a notable vietory of law and of public sen- timent which is of the highest value as alesson and an example, The contest has been o prolonged one and it hus been marked by incidents and cireum- stancos on both sides which the calm and sober judgment of history will con- demn, but the inevitable outcome has been reached in the triumph of an over- whelming public opinion, which in this country must always eventually have its way. As to the motives that prompted this action of the Mormons it isnot important to inquire. If they have honestly and sincerely renounced polygumy that is enough, and we cannot see how there can longer be a reasonn- ble doubt that such is the case. The laws, however, will be preserved, at loast until the country shall become con- vinced that thoy can be of no further nend to this service, Moanwhile the action taken by the Mormon church, in removing the chief il notthe only ground of opposi- tion tolt, oughtto have results benefi- cial to the material interosts of Utah and toall classes of the people of that territory.

This factis asap- arent today to the observerof state politics as it willbe three weeks from today in the returns of the clection. The republican who votes with the independ- ents, like the republican who votes with the third party prohibitionists, shoots into the ranks of his friends and wounds his own cause. Only his cnemies can hopo to benefit by hisindependent course in this campaign, T Bex stands today where stood during all the yoars istenc it has of its ex- It believes in most of the prin- ciples which underly the alliance move- ment. It has fought for them consi tently and persistently whenever anop- portunity has been presented during the lost two decades. The independent ora- tor may find a great many models of ewrnestapgeal for railroad regulation, for government ownership of the tele- graph, and forr numerous other measures aiming at the proper control by the peo- ple of corporate monopolies, inthe files of Tue Bee. The present undoubted strength of the refarm sentiment in th state owes muchto the work which this newspaper has done in that direction. But THE BEE has never encouraged a third party movementas the best means toaccomplish these great ends, It has always fi d reform within the party, and it believes today that the syccess of the present movement can only be found through the powerfulchanne:s of theold party organization. Lookat the situation. The total vote of Nebraska three weeks hence will be about two hundred and ten thousand. With four state tickets in thefield, at least eighty thousand will berequired for the suceess of the independent, nom- inces. No reasonableman, familiar with the state of the campign, willdare to predict that the alliince can begin to muster any such vote. Butu vote smaller by many thousands might defeat the re- publican state ticket, That, indeed, is the only result the independent cam- puign may reasonably be said tothreaten to accomplish. And what would that mean? Simply that amovementhonestly undertakenin the interest of reform, by dissatisfied republicans, had ended by putting the democrats into the state cupitol and by making a wide breach in the lines of the solid republican west. The republican farmers who had helped to achieve this result would have no cause for rejoicing. They would rather have multiplied their woe Their present demand for reform, as well s the grand old party through which their ideas have dominated the country for twenty-ive years, would have gone down in acommon disaster. Tt would be an oceasion for democratic jubilation, but no man who looks to the alliance movement as the' hope of re- form, and certainly no man who hus a drop of republicanism in his veins, could view the result except with disappointment, The true policy for the republican farmer in the present campaign is to stay with the party which he has served, and which has served him,e sincothe history of Nebraska territory blended into the history of this great state, It isa party which he can control by virtue of thesuperior numberof his votes, Itisa great engine of power, und his hand should be upn the throttle. It can furnish the means, if he makesthe most of it,by which he can arrive at his destination on schedule time, If the republican farmers of Nebraske will Lend their powerful aid tothe clec- tion of Mr. Richards and nis colleagues, and, further, if they will see to it that the legislature is controlled by eamest and honest men who agree with them on the muin questions at issue, they will have cause to look forward hopefully to the work of the nextstate government. Tne BEe believes rnment so con- stituted will do all in its power to re- alize the reforms needed and demanded by the producers of this state, But to allow the demoeracy to enter into power through a breach in the republican ranks will avail the members of the al- lisnce nothing. It will mean a state government marked by confusion, blun- der and defeat. shume and a gov PETTY wrangling and senseless squab- bling marks the relations of the board of health and the city council.

The people in every county will thus bo given a chance to hear the issues of the cam- paign thoroughly discussed and judge for themselves which represents the best interests of the country., The result of the discussion cannot fail to materially increase the republican majority. Mr. Connell represents the progressive polit- iealspiritof the times, the spirit that in- spired anl carried to splendid fruition the development of the country’ re- sources during the past quarter of acen- tury, Mr Brgan representsa party of promises, of glittering generalitics, of words instead of deeds, the parly tersely deseribed by Senator Ingalls as “*the po- litical street walkerof the century.” No intelligent voter will hesitate in choos- ing between the living present and tho dead past, Wi to cross Irwill be ahundred fold more difficult for the prohibition searchers in prohibi tionstates to locate ““holes inthe wall ™ afterthe government ceases to demand spedal tax stamps from dealers, s the new tarifl law provides.

In Leavenworth county writs were rocontly granted to the city mar- shal under the nuisance clause of the prohi itory law, empowering him to search places where intoxicating liquors were sold and to seize the furnitare and buildings Itis said that ths marshal is a strong pro- hibitionist.

Sohe went over and seized thatalso,as town property, and turned the proprietor out of doors. In great straits, the man thus suddenly be- aeftof his property, sought the county judgo ndoezgod him not to deprive his wifo and chiliven of a home. So the judge issued a restraining ovder forthe present, as the man claims the Kansas exemption on 4 homestead. This is certainly a novel way to stop the liquor traffie. The people should respect the lawandnot lay themselves liable to its pen- altis.
