Ho does not kunow where nerve ends and pure gall begins, WHEN Allen Root has explained sat- {sfactorily about that Holt county home- stead and the mannerin which he sought to obtain it, Mr, Rosewater will en- deavor to find time to meet himin joint debato to discuss the “*mone question. THE census count of all states and ter- ritories, with the exception of Mury- land, Virginia and Missouri, has been completed and announced in tabulated form. Nebrasku's exhibit of growth, compared with ofher states, is one to which the people may well point with pride. But four states surpass it in the increase of population—New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Illinols. It is amatter of congratulation that in the race for supremacy in the west, No- braska ranks second in growth, Minne- sota ranks third with an increase of five hundred and nineteen thousand, to Nelaaska s six hundred and four thou- sand. lowa and Kansas, with opportu- nities fully as great to grow ande pand, have fallen sharply to the rear, What the present decade will accom- plish depends on the people of the state. If smnigeation isnot rpelled and walled out by sumptuary legislation Nebraska will overtake both lowa and Kunsas by $he oud of the century, e 40 00| THE STATE SUPREME (OURT In ono way or anoher, with exception, every depmtment of stato government has expanded meet the growth in population, This exception is the state supreme court. Organized filteen years ago to meet the wants of a quarter of a million peaple, it is today simply overwhelmed with the business of a population four as great. While the makers of the present constitution granted legislature power over all subordinate courts, to increase the number of jud and judicinl districts, and tocreats ne courts, in the people alone was the power vested to incrense tho membership of the supreme court, The necessity for an enlargement of the court is apparent toall, Fvery « zen is in 'd in prompt adjudication of questions appealed to the highest cout. The punishment of criminals, no less than the settlement of civil contro- v ,demand an immediate ine of the number of judges, Tuisa ph impossibility for the court, ns at present constituted, to handle within a reason- Dle time the business crowding upon it or can thework be expedited. The 'my submitted must be refully weighed in all their bearing: requiring time for investigation and thought. As it is, the present docket would oceupy the covrt two ye without consdering any new causes or passing upon” the multitude of ques- tions requiring carly attention. The y occasions annoyance and expense tolitigants, and offers a premium on ap- peals. This condition can bo materially improved and the business expedited by the adoption of the amendment incress- ing the number of judges from three to five. Another equally important amend- ment to the constitution must be passed upon by thevoters atthe coming olee tion. It provides that the y of julgesof the supreme court shall be thir ive hundred dollars, and the dis- court julges three thousand dollars vear. The sal s trifling compen- on for the servic d., There not a prominent 1 in the state who does not earn double the amount in private practice, and it is o rmatter of general notoriety that sev i the supreme and dist standing offers of greater for their services from public and pri- o corporations, The state must pay better salavies ifit hopes to commund the services of the better class of law- yors. The adoption of both essential to the elevation and espansion of the courts, and they should receive the active support of all citizens at the polls. one the times 18, s rend wyer benches have compensation amendments is NEBRASKA 1N (02 All the peopleaf Nebraska, irvespect- ive of party, have a common interest in having a delegation at Washington that can obtain what the state needs and wants from thiz administration. The members chosen at the approaching election will serve during the remainder of President Harrison's term and will go out of oftice with him. This matter thatshould be brought home to every voter who holds the good of the state as supevior to party consid- eration Nebraska has large interests to be taken care of at Washington, It need s new mail routes, new public buildings and other improvements which depmd on the favor of congress and the ad- ministration, It has a very list of union veterans on pension rolls and others who deserye to ho onthem, Tt is interested in the administration of the homestead laws and in the thousand and one matters which bring the people of anew state into elose rolations with the national government. The presilent and the senate are cer- tainly republican for the next two years and the houwse will be if the party does its duty througheutthecountry. But inanyevent the true interest of Ne- braska liesin the choice of three repub- lican members of congress, Three demo- cratic and independent members would be absolutely s to the state under present eireamstan They could vote with the minority on general questions, but they could not hope tocarry through measures of especial interest to the state, the delay of which will cause serious inconvenience and loss to their constituents, It has al heen the wise policy of the newer states of the west to clect congressmen with espeeial reference to their local inter- osts. It isthe only way in which the could hasten their development and get such favors as they needed and ge- manded from the mational government, The bestinterests of Nebraska demand the election of throerepublicancongress men next Tuesd, lurge the FOREIGN INTER IN THE RESULT. There fsumple evidenco that foreign interest in the result of the congres- sional elections in - this country is very great, andthatin England and Canada especially the transfer of the control of the house of representatives of the Fifty- second congress to the domocrats would be regarded with unbounded gratifica- tion, The English and Canadian press abound with expressions which clearly denote this, Although it ought to be well known to the foreign editors and political leaders that the election of a majority of democrats to the house of representatives would not have anysuch effect as they desive, because the smats is securely republican for probably at least six yoars, yet. they would welcome sucha result asa promiso of the ulti- mate attainment of their hope for the overthrow of the whole protective sys- tom in the United States, This manifestation of anxiety abroad for democratic success in the elections ought not to bo regarded lightly by the American poople. It is not dus to con- cern for the fare of this country. Its motive 15 wholly selfsh. The tories in Bngland and Canadn who are hurling maledictions at the tarit¥ poli of the United States are actuated by no friendly regard for the prosperity and progress of our people, They are moved solely by the fear thav the policy means a decline in the industries of their own EST countries and a corresponding incremse of like industries inthe United States. '.L‘ugllshmau denounce it because they to | the | bolieve it will roduce the demand wpon ! tions were volunta Fnglish manufacturers from their larg- est and most profitable market, and may oven induce many of them to trunsplant their enterprises to this country, as it is already reported some of them contem- plate doing, Canadians d cause it protects Am farmers inst the importation of the farm ducts of Canada amounting in - value to tens of millions of dollars annt For years Canada has had a protoctive tariff under which diseriminating duties are levied against goods coming from the United States. Tea orv coffee, for example, imported into Canada from this country has to pay ten cents a pound more duty than when imported from any other conntry. Until recently Cinada hias maintained an ex- port duty on Lumber and its products and in other respects has shown a spirlt of commercial hostility to the United States. Complaint from that source, therefore, wing & po! poses o protect American the competition of the farm products of Canada, deserves no consideration from our people, The extraordinary desire manifested abroad for democratic ess in the congressionnl clections supplics o most cogent renson why the people of this country should continue the republican party in control of the national house of reprosentatives, It cannot be wise or safo to adopt o course counseled by those whose interestsare distinet from and es- sentially hostilo to the interests of our own people. nounce it be- pr iich pro- mers from sue zens in the United States today, both ctive in politics, One isthe man who 1s born aeross the sea and camo over here to marry his blood and his fortunes to a land which could offer him brouder chances for happiness and prosperity than were open to him in the land of his birth, Thut cliss of “*foreign citizens” are usefulund loyal. They are always for Ameriea against the world, In touching upon this point in conneetion with his discussion of the taciff, Speaker Reed said in Chicago the othor day: The natives of Germany in Gernany i the nativesof Belgium in Belgium its get goods ata cheap rate, but they thoso of them that have enterprise lereand pay twice the pric lave to pay there, in Germar [applise], and, ha sta | Applause,] may be true.

[Applause and langhter.] Butan ex isting ciraimstance like that—the German and the Belgfan coming here and here-is absolutely can be no dispute. The fact that thoe German, the Belgian and many other men of foreign bivth ave here is an unnswerable rument in favor of the protective policy. And they will be found voting for the policy which has given them asharein our great prosperity ¥ are now, asthey heuve vor of maintaining the endence of this counta It isthat policy which has made this a better country to live und work in than the countries of their birth.

They want notarifi for protetion, but the opportunity tobuy in the cheapest market, which in their minds is asso- ciated with the cheay labor. The citizenof foreign birth is gen- erally for protection against the degrad- ing conditions which made his own country a good place to emigrate from, Theman whowants fres trade is f quently a native, born enemy of his country’s prospecity, and he is the veal “foreign citizen.? § The time has come when a man’s na- tionality is testod not by the place of his birth or the accent of his specch, but by his loyalty to the great industrial and commercial interests of the nation of which heis now a citizen, Ttisnolonger a question of *Where were you born ?7 but “How do you vote ?" A CIVILSERVICE EXHIRIT. The courseof the present administra- tion regarding civil service reform has been subjected to undesorved eriticism, Noadministration since the civil service lawwas enacted had a move difficult task presented toit in the matter of applying this law, and while changes in the public offices have been numerous, there isyet tobe ngle instance noted in which vhe law has been distinetly violated or evaded. Under the previous administration there were scores of such ca ud they were not confined to the first year, when there might have existed some excnse for them, but were steung along throughout the entire administration almost to the last month of its existonee. Mr. Cleveland entered the executive office fully committed to a thorough enforcement of the law. It wius his professed devotion to eivil ice reform that drew to him the mugwup support. But so numerous and flagrant were the violationsof the law during his administration that they were publicly denounced by the eivil service leagues of Mavyland and Indiana, The present administration has given no eause for similar complaints, and yet it has not escaped criticism. The extrems reformers, whose utopian notions of what the civil serviceshould be have not been satisfled, find fault be- use the administration has not moved more rapidly toward the realization of their ideas. President Harrison bolieves incivilservice reform, but he does not believe that it can make progress fastor than publie sentiment is educatd to ac- cept it, and it is to be confessed that the @rowthof that sentiment favorble to veform is not rapid, Thereis a standing committee of the Nawtonal Civil Serviee Reform league to inquire into the conditionof the civil ceand the ent to which reform principles are carvied Into effect by the national administeation. This commit- teo has issued three reports, the latest ono, recently sent out, relating to presi- dential postoffices This report, thor- oughly impartial in character, isa com- plete vindication of the administra- tion. It shows that only about twenty-three per cent of the changes in the presidential postoflices have beon made by removals, and that inthe large majority of cases resigna- staying a fact about which there ministration, , TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1890 In those cases they wore mot presure was brought to bear by members of congros: there being plenty of ovidence that cons gressmen ave notanwilling to evale or | override the requiroments of civil sor- vice reform in orflal to provide offices | for theiv henchmbn, but this fuet can not | fairly be held to ro upon the ad- It can not justly be pre. sented, for exumple, that in cases where poatmasters were offeved an inducement in the shape of a postponement of the time for the change, or an offer was made by the proposed successor to pay o good price for the fistures of the offi whon the appointment should be made, or where resignations were procured by threats of immediate removal, that the administration was cognizant of such | facts. It would have no knowledgo whatever of thenr The trath is that the present adminis- tration has done more to advance the use of civil service reform than any of its predoc the eivil sorviee law wi enacted, and if it con- tinues in the cowrse thus far pursued, of which there is no veason {o doubt, it will leave the reform so strongl trenchied that it will be secure ag any futy President is fulfilling his pledge to make capacity andfidelity—the qualifications preseribed by Jefferson for publie office—the condi- tions of office holding under his adminis- tration, where ss0rs since attacks, Tue grand rally senative citizens, St night, ef- foctively refutes the slandervsof the pro- hibitionists that all men opposed to the amendment are the tools of the whisky ring. -Here weregathered men conspie- uous in the ious walks of life—clergy- men, jurists, bankers, mervchants and wage-carners, all of whom exemplify in their lives truer temperance that theie defumers, To compare them with the paid promoters of outlawey would be an insult to manhood. Among them were men who have done more in a year for genuine' Jovanes valorm by thaiv ef- forts and the example of their lives than the entive army of prohibition tor ina generation, And this is the cl i able for law and order, re- ilation, against out- and disister. Of such men ave cities and states built and made prosperous, and theiv voice go out totheir business and profesional asso- ciates throughout Nebraska to stand as abulwark against the crime sought to be imposed upon the state by the im- ported cole and female licutenants who thrive on the agitation. ha's repre- stand cution nels Despire the cfforts to bring about a complele registration of the voters, only a trifle over one-half of the qualified electors of the city are registered. A thorough canvass of every ward must be made, and the people roused ton sense of their duty. Thereis grave danger that thousands will neglect to register, and rely upon the old system of sywearing in their votes. Eve ol voter failing to register is. prac chised, The law governing the swear- ing of voters puts the applicants to such amoyance and delay that those who do not exert themselves o register will not trouble themselves with the other. Lvery unregistered ¢ siving to vote is obliged to malke affi hefore the eity clerk, and his gualific tions must be vouched for by two froe- holders of the rd in which he desires tovote. Under this systom of red tape, but few non-registered citizens can be accommodated by the clerk and depu- ties. The st plan is a house-to-liouse canvass and tho registration of every voter during Friday and Suturday.
