TuE Syracuse hotel horror is another warning of the necessity of providing public houses with every means of pre- vonting, detecting and extinguishing fires, as well as every moans of escape for gues The law can not be made too stringent on this point, nor be too dly enforeed, The action of the Towa supreme court in annuiling the conviction of Myron I, Billings, brings to a close one of the fa- mous cases in the criminal annals of the state. Billings was tried and convieted on the charge of murdering W, S. Kings- loy, a prominent young lawyer, at Wa- verly, December 21, 1887, Public 1- ing was strong against Billings. Cireum- stances surrounding the tragedy pointed to family complications. Billings stoutly maintained his innocence, which the su- preme court now afivms, Tn veversing the verdict of conviction the court finds from the ovidence that Kingsley first shot at Billings, and supposing he was mortally wounded, committed suicide, and recommends the case be dismissed, i s irritation of the tory party of Canada over the new tariff law of this country doos not appear to be subsiding, Accaording to advices from the capital of the Dominion it is genorally believed that o mandate has gone forth to y pare the peoplo for such a remodeling of the nadian tarit as will exelude Awmerican products from that country, and it is faivly to be inforred from the utterances of the premiec and other members of the governinent, and also of the government organs, that such is the intention. Tho tory party is unquos- tonably vory strongly disposed at pres- ent to try the experiment of rotaliation, but public sentiment is by no means unanimous in favor of this course, On the contrary, It is ropo<ied that the an- ' nexation feeling is 1a idly gaining ground and that there is a formidable opposition to any policy which would have the effect to aggravate comwmercial hostility botween the United States and Canada. The resi't of the exciting controversy into which the people of the Dominion have beon thrown by our tarift logislation will bo awsited with uterest on both sidgs of the Atlantic. THE OMAHA DAILY B THE STATE ISSUES. The campaign in Nebraska has thus been conducted with too little refer- ence to the numerous local issues which are of vital interest - to the people of the state. Prohibition, admittedly the su- | preme question before our people, has indeed received very thorough discus- sion, but there are other mattersonly less worthy of consideration which have been almost wholly ignored by the par- ties, and have in no case been given the prominence and thoughtful attention they should receive. Thedemocrats are making their fight chiefly on the tariff, scemingly unmindful of the fact that the new law cannot bs disturbod for several years, even should the democrats obtain control of the house of representatives and elect the next president. The sen- ate will continue republican for four years, and in all probability for at least six, and so long as that s the case it is not likely there will be any important changes in the new tariff ' law. Making this an {ssue in the state campaign to the exclusion of living questions awaiting determina tion, is consequently very largely o waste of time. The republicans have given more attention to state issues than their opponents, but still far less than those issues should have received. As to the independent people’s party, so called, its leaders have ked about littlo else than their flat financial policy, and they will doubtless keep this up to the end,since it is the corner stone of their political scheme, It is important that members of the logislature be eclected with a well-de- fined understanding of what they are expected todo for the state, and not on general principles. Our people are eon- gaged in acampaign for the election of officials who for two years will make and administer laws for Nebraska. They will have nothing to do with national issues, and can exert upon them only a very remote influence, if any at all. Whatever they may do will not have the least effect upon the tariff or the financial policy of the nation. The questions which these officials will have to conzider are those of revenue and taxation, the usury laws, the assessment of property, railroad regulation, taxation of franchises, in- surance regulation, the prolibition of combines aud trusts, and others which directly affect the interests and welfare of the people of Nebraska. The paramount importance of local taxation will be appreciated when it s said that it takes from the people ten dollars for every ten cents on account of the taviff, and probably more. Reformin thisdirec- tion is of vastly more concern to the puyers of Nebraska than the inc the price of a few commodities by reason of higher tariff duties. And the me is true of all the other state issues which will press for consideration upon tho next legislature. The importance of giving these questions attention now, to the end that the men chosen to make and administer the laws shall bhave a clear knowledge of the popular wish, is obvious, National issues are not properly or necessarily involved in the Nebraska campaign, but if they cannot bo ignoved they at least should not be allowed to exclude from the considera- tion they merit the state issues which directly concern the interests and wel- fare of our people, fa POPULATION AND PROHIBITION. The enumeration of the population of Kansas last June had scarcely been com- pleted when the announcement was made with a great flowrish that the schedules showed a total of one million six hundred and seventy-four thousand people. The figures were paraded through the country as evidence of the beneficial effects of prohibition. The hired brigade of bothsexes fondled them with paternal joy, dressed them in bright colors and hailed the bloody common- wealthas a grand example of growgh and drought in equal proportions. But their joy was of shortduration. The official announcement of the census of Kansas shows the total to be one million four hundred and thirty-two thousand four hundred and eighty-five, orin round numbers two hundred fnd forty thousund less than the prohibition figures, From 1870 to 1880, the population of Kansas increased from three hundred and sixty-four thousand to nine hundred and ninety-six thousand, an increase of one hundred and seventy-three per cent, The people were prosperous, immigr: tion poured in, and contentment reigned. A fraction of the population was not satisfied to let well enough alone, They sought to regulate the morals and habits of the pcople by law, to compel others to think and drink as they did. What isthe rvesult? In the fist five yearsof the agitation, from 1850 to 1885, the per cent of gain in pop- ulation fell from one hundred and seventy-three to twenty-six and a half, and in the last five years, under the full force of the modern inquisition, the per cent dropped tosixteen and a half, In ten years the per cent of increase in population was only forty-three, One will search in vain the reports and statistics of the state for a single compensating benefit for the decline of Kansus in the ratio of growth. Moraily and materiully, prohibition proved a di aster. While its supporters assert the “open saloon™ was banished, the fact is notorious thatopen saloons flourish in the state, while the saloon drug stores, joints, spenk-casies, bootleggors and liquor clubs ply their trade by the hun- dreds, The extent of the traffic may be mensured by the fact that United States licenses to the num- of eightecn hundred and thirty-seven were issued in the stato the present year. The law has been a fruitful sourcerather of erime than a preventa- tive. Oneout of every eight hundred and seventy-three of the population is in the penitentiary, while the proportion in" high liconsa Nebraska is one to thivty-three hundred and thicty-three, The reform sehools ave overerowded, in- ane asylums packed, while spies, hipoc- | tlsy, persecution and strife stalk throughout the state, Contrast these conditions with Ne- braska. During the ten years preceding 1880, the population of Kansas increased six hundred and th'rty-one thousand, Nabraska's gain was three hundced and | the , Wwenty-nine th.usand. (n the past census decade the proportion was re- versed, Nebraska gained six hundred and four thousand, an increase of one hundred and thirty-three per cent, while the growth of Kansas was only four hundred and thirty-one thousand, or forty-three per cent, Order and respect for law preyail through- out Nebraska. The traffic in intoxi- cants s placed in responsible hands, and surrounded with reasonable safeguards, It is compelled to bear its share of the public burdens and overy community has the right under the law to vefuse license and adopt prohibition, if o majority so wills, The question be- fore the voters of Nebraska is whether they will uproot unity, contentment and prosperity in the stateand substitute the depression, outlawry, intolerance, strife and free whisky which prevail in Kans CONNELL'S CLAIM T0 SUPPORT. Hon, William J. Connell is now in the midst of his canvass for a second term. He has many cluims to support in the work he has done for Omaha and the First district both before and since he became a member of congress, His work as city attorney demonstrated his ability and fidelity to the interests of the public and marked him out for higher preferment. FHis services as the guiding spirit in formulating the present city charter were of great and lasting value to the people of Omaha, In fram- ing that fundamental law for the overn- ment of the municipality, as in his contest with the gas company for the reduction of rates, he exhibited o sincere devotion to the real interests of the public, His course in regard to the iter works was of the same aggr und public-spirited character. Ho applied all his energy nd the whole power of his office to defeat the granting of valuable franchises to an inferior system by a corrupt city council. These are instances of a ree- ord which, both as a citizen and an offi- clal, vefleets great credit upon him and illustrates his ability and fidelity, In congress Mr. Connell has won ex- ceptional prominence for a first term, His speech on the silver bill furnished astriking instance of his independence of party when amatter which he deemed important to his constituents was a! stake. His success in getting the eight- hour law prssed won him the gratitude of wage workers throughout the coun- try by establishing a principle vitally important to their interes Ho has been alert and indefatigable in looking after the loeal affairs of his aistrict, and, in dealing with the troublesome matter of appointments, has generally acted for the good of the publi Viewed as a whole, Mr. Connell’s rec- ord asa citizen and public servant gives him the right to expect an endorsement at the hands of the people of the First district. But there are good reasons other than personal why he should be returned, A man who has served one term in congress has just begun to be useful, No district has ever gained influeneo by changing its representatives at every election. Nor can the cities of the First district expect to obtain what they want in the way of public improvements from the present administration if they send one of its enemies to ask for them. Justice toa good and faithful public servant agd justice to the interests of the district both demand the veturn of Congressman Connell. And as he is going to be re-elected, let it be by a ma- jority so emphatic that he will feel that his faithfulness is appreciated and his record endorsed. SENATOR ALLISON ON THE STUMP. Senator Allison is taking an active pa inthelowacampaign. Inviewof theard- uous duties performed by the senator during the first eession of the Fifty-first congress, his appearanee on the stump is the highest possible testimony to his strong devotion to the republican party At notime since Mr. Allison has been in congress did the work devolyving upon him require closer applicationor greater labor than weredemanded of him during the late session. As a member of the finance committee of the senate he had more than any other member to do with the proparation of the senate tariff bill, which proposed nearly five hundred amendments to the house bill, and dur- ing the weelc occupied in this labor he was constantly of his post of duty. Then followed the no less arduous work in the conference committee, of which he was a member. After such continu- ous and trying labor Senator Allison would have been fully justified in taking aperiod of rest, but at the call of his party he isfound again in the front of the fight, battling as ably and valiantly v for republican success. Senator Allison is being greeted by the vepublicans of Towa with the same hearty enthusiasm as in the . past, and it need hardly be said that he has an un- questionable claim to this esteem and confidence, He has given Towa a promi- nence and distinetion in congress and before the country of which every citi- zen of that state may justly feel proud, while his devotion to republican priaci- ples has not been exceeded by that of any man in the nation. His speeches thus far in the campaign have been char- acteristically strong, clear and earnest, and cannot fail to exert a greatinfluence, There hasbeen noreason to suppose that the republican cause in Towa was in seri- ous danger, but it will be the more se- cure for the work of Senator Allison in the campuign. DILLON AND O'BRIEN. The Irish leaders, Dillon and O'Brien, who mysteriously disappeared from Dublin a few days ago, have arrived in France on a sailing vessel and will shortly start for America, How strangely out of tune with the music of tho nineteenth century is the scene presented by this incident of con- temporancous history. Here are two men of world-wide renown, statosmen, orators and leaders of their people, flee- ing as fugitives inthe night from the shores of their native land to escape the clutches of a government which is de- termined they shall not have opportun- ity totell the wrongs of their count men to the people of another continent, England’s treatment of Ireland and Irish is unlike anything else her present character, it does in RIDAY, OCTOBER, 17, 1890, not nccord™ Fith the spirit of un ageof fred spooch and free men which she has hersplf assisted in moulding.

Dillon and O'Bejen will come to America and bo heard and applauded with an interest and enthusiasm which the policy of Balfour has increased ten- fold. They will go back to Ireland to be punished for contempt as well as “con- spiracy,” and the old problems will fes- tor in England’s flesh until finally hor people’s senso of justice overcomes the cupidity of the proprietors of Irish soil. Meanwhile, the unseftled question which has “no pity for the repose of na- tions,” must continue to vex England and to keep Ireland miserable and poor THE demoralization created by the democratic “what-is-it” is liable to lead to a wholesale reorganization of the county ticket.

It al candi- reasonably certain that seve dates wili soon find their “business” too pressing tocontinue in the field, The great problem is whether the silk stock- ing element is powerful enough to fire the ward heelers and give the ticket a certificate of character.

But what do the democratic can- didates think of their organ by thistime? ANOTHER author has been kicked to fame and fortune, The Boston city dads have declared the “Clemenceau Case’ immoral, reveked the license of the theatro where itis presentod and sent it whirling over the country with an ad- tisement that money could not buy. THE packing industry of Omaha keeps fully abreast of the growth in other de- partments of business. The summer pack aggrogates eight hundred and eighty-four thousand, an increase of forty-five per cent over the correspond- ing period last ye. IT was a grand audience, that which greeted Messrs, Connell and Bryant, Intelligent, alert, generous with ap- plause, it was a gathering to inspire the best forensic efforts of the opposing candidates for congress. HAaDp Allan Root been within hearing distance of the great debate he would have imbibed suflicient reason for massacreing the man who uttered that challenge in his name, ——— THE election of Wolcott and Sanders to the county board insures decency and decorum as well as honesty and economy in the transaction of county business, THE democratic senatorial ticket is a lawful combination, but that will not prevent the voters from enjoining its po- litical operations at the ballot box.

As A matter of current interest the assurance is given that ground has again been brolken on the Omaha-Yank- ton extension, MEASURED by any stands publican county and legislativ infinitely superior to the democratic, OMAHA would enjoy a few more such gladiatorial contests on the forum be- tween now and election day. rd, the re- SIDE.

Some of them have the idea that registration is a trick to cateh them unawares and they look upon it pretty much as theyAdid the census enamer- ator. Their leaders/'however, aro fast bring- ing them to timé with the assurance that election day can wever bo a glittering success with them if they fail to register. It is th opinion of those T ring that when Novem- ber 4 overtakes them the colored voters will all be in line waiting for their best friend. J. Phipps Roe, an_hereditary probivition- ist, was closeted a/few hours the other day with the Boyd-Ogden combination of special- ties. It is said that they discussed the situa- tiou at great length, and when the question: Is the Third ward vote a commodity ! came up, notone of them had a word to say bear- ing upon it. The charge that Mr. Roe will scatter the New York Vofee corruption fund in the bloody Third on election day is a base libel upon him ard a grave injustice to the men who vote in that sacred precinet. 1t doesn't fall 10 the lot of every congress- man 0 address a meeting of naturalized American Indinns as Congressman Dorsey did on the Omaha reservation the other duy Aud it is questionablo whether campaign orutory is the most effective means of win- ning the ex-aborigine vote. To be sure, Mz, Dorsey chose n most seductive subject, that of paying the Indians more money, but there are men base enough on election day to cap- ture the suffrages of this people by gencrous distribution of tangle-foot and old rye, If J, Phipps Roe would distinguish himself he ‘will lose no time in arranging to send some of Sneak Johnson's pale alo up to the Omaha reservation to be tapped on or about Novem- ber 4, When Mr. Hitchcock goes out into the west to stump the state, he must remember that the democrats aro declaring that the real issue in this state is that of the tarifr, while Candidate Powers has doclared on the stump that tariff talk is chestnutty and that the people are vitally concorned in state issues—railroad transportation, revenue, usury, elevator warchouse and retrenchment legislation, The next legisliture will be composed chiefly of farmers. Their watchword Is ve- form. Already some very refreshing innova- tions are proposed and have met with general endorsement among the candidates. One of theso s the movement to call the daily ses- sions of both houses at 7 a. m, andto reauire the sergeant-at-arms to sce that every mein- ber in good health is in his seat promptly at that hour. Another reform s to stamp out the practice of adjourning Saturday morning until Monday afternoon. The farmess are going to Lincoln for business, and propose to show the stuck- up city members what real work is, But the reform that will attract tho most favorable comment is that which will place a high wall around the committee rooms where lady clerks are employed, is found the solu- tion of a vexatious problem. The ladics will be required by joint resolution to wear veils and be prohibited from accepting eandy from railroad lobbyists and other married men, Nomember or oficer will be permitted to force a relative upon the pay roll of the legis- lature and none but farmers' boys will be iven positions as pages, It is given out fur- ther that the superintendency of cuspidors will be given to a darkey as a bait for the colored vote. Candidates from Douglas county will shape their campaign accord- ingly. —_— Strong Arguments for Dorsey.
