If that mov nt were what at the outset it imed to be, a spontaneous uprising of the people for the purpose of instituting genuine and needed reforms, it would merit the friendly consideration of all citiz who believe reform in several directions is urgently required. Butthe fact is the so-called independent move- ment was not spontancous, nor was it free from the interference of politicians, On the cont it was most carefully and ately planned by a fow one of whom has always been more or less identified with politics, and all of whom hope to profit by poli- The proof of this is found in the fact that everywheére tho scheming and trickery so well known to the machine politicians were brought into play, and with rare exceptions the men chosen ascandidates were the men whom the self-constituted bosses desired. The voters who identified themselves with ‘s movement were not irchance to selectcan- , the caucusses and packed in the interest of those whom the managers of thé movement had slated as most available for their purposes. Thefo has boen no more flag- rant piece of political jugglery in the history of Nebraska than the apportion- mentof delegates made by the organiz ers of the independent movement, and their whole course has been in keeping with this, Can men capable. of such things betrusted with the work of form? There is nota possible chance of the success of the independent people par! No intelligent man connected with the movement now entertains a hope that it can win, For weeks it has been steadily losing groun The party will elect some members of the legislature and may be able to hold the b o of power in the general assem- bly, but more than this it can not sibly secure. It willnot elect a single state officer, but it may be tho means of transferring the administration of state affairs to the democratic party. Would this help the eause of reform? Undoubt- edly the men in the independent movement who would welcome such a result, but they are men who hope to reach political preferment on the ruins of the vepublican party and not true friends of reform and good government. They would stop all prog and see the spirit of reaction t Pt there they could grati ir politi- cal ambition. Such men casily become the toolsof the enemies of the people. Republican farmers who have been se- duced into the independent move- ment shoutd think seriously of what may be the consoquences of wasting their strength by giving their votes to a party that has no chance of success and thereby endangering the success of the only party from which they can expect such and practicable reforms as they desire. was men, tics, givena full and conventions POs- reasonable FIRST FRUITS OF THE TARIFFE. Major McKinley's tariff law sent a thrill to the very core 0f Burope’s in- dustrial life. Tt furnishes a topic for for- eign manufacturers and mechanices, fills their newspapers with criticism and speculation, and burdens the cable with rumors of important developments. There is something inthisthat touches the chord of patriotic pride. It is mute testimony to the greatness of the United States and reveals at a glance the ex- tent and importance of the market which our sixty odd millions of people have fur- nished for the products of European workshops. These are interesting times in the history of both hemispheres and intelligent citizens should follow them carefully as they are reflected, day by day, in the newspapers, vope's attitude toward the present tariff law has from the first been one of protest. Of all the nations that ex- pressed displeasure Austrin was most aggressive. When the bill passed news came from Vienna that Count Kulnoky would undertake to form a league for the purpose of retalinting. Within a few days the milk in the Aus- trian coconnut has leaked out. It is re- ported that the great pearl button in- dustry, more than half of whose product formerly came to the United States, will be prostrated, that thousands of men and women will be thrown out of em- ployment, and the production reduced more than two-thirds, Tt is stated in a later dispateh that the business is likely to be largely transferred to this side of the Atlantic, with its Austrian capital amd labor. Similar items of new: me France, Germany and Rngland, Ttaly remarks that she does not care to exhibit her wares at our world's (3 us she no longer has a market here. The wail from merry old Fuogland s particularly doleful, It began with the TLondon Tus, which described the MecKinley bill as “‘an attack on .the industries of at Britain” it was followed up by the vep- resentatives to the steel and iron con- ference at New York, one of whom said, “The tin plate business was about all the metal industry we had leftand I fear you will get that;” it is echoed through the mills of Manchester and the cutlery shops of Sheflield, and everywhere it is to the effect that America will manu- facture what she has hitherto imported from abrond. Meanwhile we hear ru- mors of the revival of old industries and the establishment of new on this side of the se: Now, if these early indications of the fruits of the tarift are borne out later by the facts what will it mean to the people of this country—to the merchants, manufac- turers, workingmen und, lastly, to the farmers of tho west? It will mean unquestionably anew and powerful impulse to the common pros- perity, It will mean now factories and workshops for Jabor to build, new capital for new enterprises, reinforcements from Europe for the ranks of well-paid Ameri- can labor, increased demand for the necessities of life, and, finally, a larger consumption and wider home market for the products of the western farms. It is true that prices of many articles will go from and up, but & country on a rising market and neve ing market. The peopls of tho wesl very generally criticised tho McKinley bill, not because they are opposed to protec: tion, but beeause they wanted free lumber, coal and other materials, But in its first effect they plainly see its benoficent operations. However numor- ous the Ameriean laborer may become, the farmer of the west will cheerfully take the contract to keep him in beef, corn and wheat at prices that will make life worth living for both. is alwnys prosperous con a reced: raw ARE THEY GUOD CIZIZENS The better elements in New Yor made aneffort this yenr tc of the professional politician off the n of the city ndministration. For months the newspapers have been publishing portraits and biograph men fitted by integrity, ability and suc- cess in the legitimate walks of life for the great ofiice of mayor. For weeks committees have been out trying to find one of these representative men who would take the nomination. The result of all this agitation is that the candi- dates named at last are Hugh Grant of Tammany hall and Francis M. Scott of the county democracy, two thorough- brod politicians, who vepresent only and solely the old school of political adven- turers who live on office and patronage, Not a single man of commanding ability and worth could be found to lead the mand for relief from the dominatjon of the rings, bosses and irresponsible bum- mors, And now the question arises whether the led “better element” and “good citizens” of New York, who are too busy to hold office or too nice to soil their hands with politics, are after all the good men they pass for? Is not a summons to office under such circum- stancesas much acall to patriotic sor : as was the demand for men in Are not the assaults upon our institu- tions from within as much to be met by citizens who recognize their obligations as assaults from enemies without? What remedy is left for the evils of ecivie gov- ernment when men of character and ability selfishly refuse to leave their homes or business to confront public plunde and wrest tho groat offi of a city like New York from mercena- ries who have no intere save touse them for what there isin them? When the union ran short of volun- teers it ordered drafts, It may yet be necessary to compel citizens to answer the call of the public when reputable of- ficers cannot otherwise be had in times of emergency: In the meantime there is nolaw to prevent the “best citizens” of New York from being ashamed of them- selves, de- 50 — IDLE WEALTH IN 0MAHA. The report of the condition of the na- tional banks of Omaha on October 2 presents significent features. In round numbers tho assets and liabilities of the nine national banks amount to twenty- three and a hall million dollars. The total capital stock is four million and the aggregate surplus and undivided profits reach the snug sum of seven hun- dred and seventy-nine thousand, six hun- dred and thirty-nine dollars. Like all leading banks of the country those of Omuaha are steadily reducing their national bank note eirculation, the amount now outstanding being three hundred and eighty-two thousand fi hundred dollars, or an average of forty- two thousand five hundred each. striking feature of the report is the st amount of money hoarded in these titutions. The deposits of the nine bunks amount to eighteen million three hundred and eighty-two thousand six hundred and twenty-three dollars, In one year the deposits inc three million dollars, a sum exc all previous annual records. to this the deposits of the state and ings banks of the city, the aggregate nc cumulations of the people will exce twenty-one million dollars. The reasons for this unusual hoarding of money is ot far to scelk. A lurge proportion is withheld from investment pending the settlement of the prohibition question. From the very moment that question was sprung on the state, the people of this city, familiar with prohibition’s blighting effects in other states, began to shape their affuir for a possible emergeney, Merchants grew cantious in enlarging their stocks, build- ing investments became normal, and the influx of outside capital contracted, It is amatter susceptible of proof that many persons mortgaged their property to the full limit and placed the money in the banks. If the amendment is defeated the mortgages will be cancelled. If not, the mortgagee is welcome to the security What is true of Omaha applies with equal force to every city in the state in proportion to population. The defeat of the amendment will unlock the loaded treasuries, infuse new life and activity into the channels of trade and industry, stimulate the investment of lo and outside capital, substitute faith for doubt, confidence for depression, and place Nebraska securely on the highway ss and prosperit DISCU. POSTAL TELEGRAPHY. There isa quite general discussion in sof the plan fora postal tele- ystem presented by Postmaster reral Wanamalker in his letter to the chairman of the postoffice committee of the house of representatives and the ar- guments of the postmaster gene favor of the plan are widely approv: Journals that still eling to the old objee- tions, such as the danger of the system being prostituted to political purposes by whichever party might bein control of the government, and the possibility that it would not be conducted on bus ness principles, find thomselves com- pelled toadmit the evils of the present system and the urgent necessity for some change that will give the people cheaper and better telegraph service. It is to be borne in mind that the pro- posed plan for a limited postal telograph does not contemplate the ownership of lines by the government. It simply looks to an arvangement with tele- graph companies by which the peo- ple could be more promptly and cffi- clently served than now at considerably less cost. The government would fix the charges and provide for the delivery of me: whate ployes, aires D would have nothing or 10 40 grith the telegraph om- The ™hction on the scoro of polities con ontly has no weight, But it the government had complete control, emploging all operators and others necossary to the service, would the public int€rests, so far as they are affected by politics,be loss ssfe than th are with the control of the telegraph in the hands of the Goulds and Vander- bilts? It is sheer nonsense to claim that it would. As to conducting the service or business principles, there is no reason why the government could not carry on the postal telegraph system as efficiently as it does the muil service, and there every reason to believe that it would be conducted on very much better business principles than the telegraph sorvico is at present, The fact 1s, all objec tions of this kind are not made in good faith, Theyare put forward as disguises 10 an opposition which has a wholly different motive. Undoubtedly intelligent public senti- ment is very largely in favor of a postal telegraph system, and the more the sub- jeet is discussed the stronger and more extended this sentiment will become, Tt is demanded in the interest both of the government and the people, and there is 10 appurent veason why it should not be provided at th liest time practicable, —— GENERAL W, W. BELKNAP, who was fpund dead in his ofice at Washington yesterday morming, occupied a prom- inent and favored place in public atten- tion twenty years ago. He v an inti- mate and trusted friend of Genera Grant, who made him secretary of war. Belknap had made a creditable record as asoldier, and he wasa man of very attractive personal qualities, as well as of more than average ability, These com- mended him to the favor and confidence of General Grant, which ho continued to enjoy long after public charges were made that he had abused his official trust. He retired from the war depart- ment to avoid impeachment. The char- ity which enjoins that nothing but good bo spoken of the dead may well bo in- voked in behalfof Bellnap,who undoubt- edly was largely the vietim of circum- stances. Tt is romembered that h ily played a most extravagant role in the social lifo of Washington, and to this was chiefly due the unfortunate m which blotted out an honorable reputation and sent him into exile from society. Genoral Belknap excel- lent qualities of head and heart, and he retained many friends who will sin- cerely regret lis sudden death, is CHARLES A, PILLSBURY, the milling king of Minneapolis, talks freely on the subject of grain grades. He asserts that the millers arp all right and the farmers all wrong, and that the movement for ro- form in the grading of grain is a scheme worked by political tricksters. It i barely possible that Mr. Pillshury’s iews are slightly influenced by his in- tevests. Between the grain raisers and the mills there is awideroad, in travers- ing which grain undergues a marked change of grade. It is a matter of notoriet, that millions of bushels of Nebraska corn sold as number three is transformed into number two on reaching Chicago, and number two in ska is metamorphosed into number onein New York. By some sort of jug- glery or deception the farmers arve de- ed of the difference in prices and the or specalators enviched, This is the practice the wheat raisers of Min- nesota complain of, as well as the corn sers of ad joining states, and a national indard of grades must be had to remedy the evil, “SPOKANE PALLS and its exposition,” is the title of a superb souvenir received at this office, Itis anillustrative and descriptive mirrorof the reconstructed metropolis of eastern Washington and tributary territory, The partial de- struction of the city by fire a little over a year ago served to bring outin sub- stantial form the energy and enterprise of the people, and the magnificent blocks of stone, brick and iron reared on the ruins go to prove that the besom of flame was a material blessing to Spo- kave.
