In a very vigorous speech delivered at Philadelphia, Saturday evening, Secre- tary Blaine urged the republicans of Pennsylvania to heal their differences and stand together for the suceess of the party. Speaking of tho pessibility of a democratic victory as the vesult of divis- ions among the republicans he said: WhAt I deplore is a popular vote in Penn- sylvania that shall encourage New Jersoy in her democracy, lead the dissenting branchies of the party in New York to close up and make their strength feit, that shall cripple Ohio in hereffort to throw off democratic power in the executive and gorrymandering in the districts, throw back Delaware in her republican progress, make Maryland a hope- tess instead of a hopeful state and that shall take from us the power to establish the ve- | publican standard in West Virginia, What Mr, Blainesaid to the Phila- delphia audience he would doubtless have said with still greater emphasis in Nebrasku. Local considerations are not alone to be thoughtof in such a contest as the present. Republicans should not forget the national consequences of democratic victory in Nebraska, It would be folly as depressing as the result which Mr, ays he would deplore in Penu- sylvania, [t would dishearten the party as to the conditions in the west, It »d when his communitios, N0 encour id wealth, the i ber.

He should stand by it for what it means to the party at large. HE PREFURS BUSHWHACKING. “General” St. John prefers to do his fighting from behind the petticont ram- part rather than fight in the open arena with an adversary whom he knows to be equipped on all points. His excuso for failing to put in an appearance at the Coliseum is as Nimsy and gauzy as was the telegram road by Mr. Watts from the stage of the Coliseum. St. John claims that he had received no written challenge. There was no need of a written challenge, in view of its publica- tion broadeast in Omaha and over the state. He had been billed to hold a barbecue at which Rosewater was to have been roasted alive Sun- dny afternoon and eaten bodily Sunday night by the doughty Kansas warrior, But he purposely kept out of Omaha until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when he was at Lincoln, only fifty-four | miles away, and the trains would have brought him here by 10 a. m. He tele- arock the republ graphed that he declined t woot Rose- wator in the afternoon,ibut would divide time with any senator or congrossman in the evening, well knowing that such a meeting was out of the question, St. Tolin bellovos fights and runs away may live to fight another ¢ doubtless THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS. The history of the prohibition crusade all states is an unbroken record of to the republican party. Con- celved in a spirvit of fanaticism and fos- tered by mercenaries, it has masquer- adod with friendship on its tongue and stilottos in its hands, And in every in- stance it has driven the knife to the hilt into the back of the republicans who lave given the crusaders the slightest encouragement, From Maine to Oregon and from Da- kota to Pexas prohibition is the mill- stone on the neck of republicanism. 1t has driven from the ranks of the party thousands of conservative, liberty loving citizens, who, having fled from oppres- sion, allied themsclvos with the party of freedom and progress, How has the party been compensated for the loss? Look at Towa, with its gres can majorities wiped out of exist Look at Kunsas, the banner republi- can state of the union, where the party is rent in twain, desertions multiplying and the success of the party im- For what? Simply to cater to & mnoisy faction, who seck to compel others to think and act as they do. Even in the Dakotas, where the pro- hibitionists sccured the laws they sought, they have rebelled against tho republicans, and in less than six months ofter constitutional prohibition went into effect openly allied themselves with soreheads, not to enforce the law but to wreck the republican party” The slc John, re-echoed by the late General Fis] is, “We must vty and build prohibition on its ruins”, This is the guiding principle of the crusade, and its trath is confirmed by the records of Towa, T id the Dakotas, and by the infamous betrayal of the national republican ticket in 1581, The duty of the republicans of ska in the present crisis is clear. The prosperity of the state and the preservation of the party demand that logal republican work and voto the amendment. They must gainst the assassins of the party uding manfully for liberty and rder win back the allegiance of the bone and sinew of Amevican eciti- zenship t republi- ne. nsas STAND BY THE COLORS. Every republican in Nebraska should stand by his pur ot. In that course lone fies hi Anenemy that for ught vainly to win in a fair fight seeks now to win by fostering discord and distrust in ranks where harmony is fatal to their designs, Democrats ave endeayoring to set th republicans in the state against the re- publicans in Omaha and Douglas county. They are circulating the report that thero is to boa wholesale desertion by Omahn ropublicans from Richards to Boyd. In this dishonest work the, assistod by the prohibitionists, who hope to inflame high license republicans to sucha piteh of anger that they will vote and work for the amendment. By got- ting up this sort of a row, demo- hope to gain votes for Boyd in the city and prohibitionists votes for the amendment in the countr, These veports false. Douglas county republicans have shown their loyulty to Mr. Richards on overy oppor- tunity during the campaign, They will do s0 again on election dny. They are for the republican ticket from top to bot- tom. Elsewhere THE BEE presents an interview with Mr. Richards, in which he gives his friends throughout the state hourty assurances of the loyalty of Omaha republicans, He expects no treachery here and denounces the re- ports us democratic campaign slanders. Ho relies upon the Omaha republi- cans to contribute their full share to his election. This statement from the republican are i standard bearer should set all rumors of discord at vest. Tt should satisfy the party throughout the state, and itshould malke Omaha republicans work with re- newed zeal for the success of the ticket. [f it has this eifeet, the election of Mr. Richards is assured. Let the democrats and prohibitionists fail in their effort to promote discord, and let the vepublican party continue to conduct the affairs of u state in which it tmajority. AN APPEAL TO SOUTH 0MAHA The citizens and propegty owner South Omaha have a vital concern in the outcome of the present prohibite campaign. The unfortunato condition of the city’s inances is the most potent reason why nothing should be done by that city which will in the slightest de- gree depreciate her propevty values or check her material growth source of revenue must bo husbanded with the greatest care, Under her pres- ent popalation, the revenue from saloons amounts to thirty . thousand dollav and if her growth® is not re- tarded by prohibition, she will soon reach a population of ten thousand souls, which will increase her license revenue to at lenst fifty thousand dollars annually. The loss of this manificent sum would all but ruin her schools. In other words, the defeat of vhe license system would throw the burden of maintaining the schools divectly on the taxpayers, practically doubling the presont rate of taxation. The evils of oppressive taxation would be intensified by outinw and frea whisky. With the prohibition law in South Omaha, the town would be over- run with saloons and the condition of afiairs would be far worse than it is in Council Bluffs today. Ivery Public sentiment in South Omaba is | largely opposed to sumptuary laws, and to withdraw the operation of the Slo- cumblaw from South Omaha would bo nothing short of a crime. With an ad- ditional levy to maintain her schools, and with the inevitable depreciation of property following in the wake of a pro- | hibitory law, South Omaha would invita a condition of affaivs the outcome of which would be a disgraceful repudia- tion of her municipal debt and o gradual that “he who | wasting away of her population, which would lead to ultimate ruin, Ave the citizens of that town awake to the dan- gers which beset her as a city, and are they dolng what they can to protect their property and their homes?

Three reporters were put upon the hot scent but came back breathlessly o aunounce that they had utterly failed to verify the rumor. It is thought tobe a wicked campaign roor- back. Mer. Bryan succeeded much better with his sermon when he occupied the pulpit of one of the chure ceping Water thau when made his recent political speech in the same city. On the first occasion only about baif a dozen left the church for what they consid- ered a desecration of the pulpit, whils on the Last occasion over fifty indignant working. men left in disgust.

Tn ten yeavs Des Moines, the capital and principal city of prohibition Tows, increased in population 1,000 —a good sharc of the in creose being due to the annexation of North Des Moines, University Place, Lyons Park and Scbastapol. The growth not due to an- nexation was made provious to 1888, before any efforts to enforce prohibition were made, During the past docade prohibition Ver- mont has fallen off in population, Since 1850 Nebraska nearly doubled her population.

If the fleld was as free to liquor dealers in Nebraska as it is in Kansas ana Towa, the saloons in Omaha would increaso twenty to one, and in every city and town in the state proportionately.
