It has absolutely lost sight of every consideration of docency, fairness and respect, for law which usually govern the relations of men in social and business life, Every citizen of Omaha knows that this is untrue. It is notorious that all the acts of violence, and all the disrepu- table characters and methods, have thus far been employed by the prohibitionists themselves, far this city is concerned. The statements sent over the state the free whisky organ are slanders and nothing more. The people of Oma do not believe that the outside public credits these wicked and malicious stories, which are calculated to injure the state as much as the city. They do not believe that the radical prohibition leaders have any sympathy in theiv efforts to array Ne- braska ngainst Omaha. pect 80 as by ’l bey e that these indecent t upon the cause in which they are em- ployed. Omahu is the pride of Nebr Its prosperity has always been, and must ever be, contemporancous with the pros- perity of the state. It is not possible to draw aline around Omaha which shall have prosperity on one side of it and de- pression on the other, ‘Whatever the outcome of today’s election, the people may know that Omaha has gone through it with dig- and with proper regurd for the shts of those who di from a ma- jority of her n FORE THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, Land Commissioner Groff, in his an- nual report just issued, gives extende attention to the forests of the public domain, There were reported during the year covered by the report three hundred and ten acres of timber tres- pass, involving public timber and the produets therefrom valued at over three million dollars, *The government re- covered during the year from suits for such trespass only one hundred thousand dollars. Two hundred and eighty-two suits are pending, involving nearly fifteen million do! for timber re- ported as having been unlawfully evt from the public lands. This amount is doubtless far short of the full value of the timber the government has lost dur- ing the past ten years from the depreda- tions of timber thieves, while perhaps as much more has been lost by forest fires. Such fa emphasize the importance of adequate provision for the protection of the forests of the public domain. The commissioner says that a careful examination as to what has been ccomplished dwing the past, eight yemrs through legal proceed- ings, in the way of enforcing the laws for the protection of public timbor, shows that the most valuible timber on the public lands is being rapidly hausted, and that the several laws relating to public timber now in forco ave utterly inadequate to prop- erly protect either the public forests from unlawful appropriation or the in- terests of the settlers engaged in de- veloping the country, to whom the use, toa cortain extent, of public timber is essentinl. Commissioner Groff does not favor a severely restrictive policy with regard to the public forests, such as has been suggested by some writers on this subject, but advises the repeal of laws found to be objectionable or inoperative and the enactment of a law inhibiting from entry the rugged, stony or other timber lands not availuble and along the mountain sides and at the sources of water supply, except under the mining laws, or by such form of necessary ap- propriation, by miners and sottlers in such regions, as that allowed by the town site laws, allowing the free use of timber by thosa settling up the country to the extent only of their actual needs, and inviting concurrent action of state and territorial legislatures looking to the protection of the timber genervally from wuste and destruction, or from being removed or nmuu]wli‘n d for purcly speculative ends. onor Groff thinks, would be more in ordance with the necessities of a growing country than to pursue a sever: trictive policy, de- pending principally, perhaps, upon the army. His view is that it would appeal to the sentiments of all good and pat- riotie citizens interested, as such citizens aro, in the welfave of their particular neighborhoods, and having pride in their respective commonwealths, as well as their common country, and thus be botter calculated to lead to concurrent islation by the state and territorial law makers for the protection and hus- banding of the timber and enforcement | of the legal provisions adopted to that eud. The careful attention Commis- sloner Groff has dovoted to this subject gives his views ae to what legislation is desirable and necessary the very highest REMEMBER IT AT THE POLLS, Remember today thie party that pen- sioned the soldiers of the union.

There ave several cogent and conclusive reasons for thi The republican candidates are asa whole much superior to " the demoeratic andidates, They are ina lavger de- gree representatives of the intelligence and the aspirations of this community. They have abetter knowledge of the reauirements of Omaha and the county and they are better qualified to advocate the intervests of this section. The next legisiature will undoubtedly be controlled by the republicans, and it is obviously important that this county shall be represented by men in politieal sympathy with the majori Demo- representatives could accomplish little for Douglas county in a re- publican legislatur There are matters vital to Omaha which will be presented to the next legislature, and we want men there with the intelligence and influ- ence to properly support measures re- quired by this city and county, The republican candidates ave fully qualitied to do this. They aro.familiar with the wishes of our people, they are all inter- ested in tho brogress of Omaha, and most of them have had experience in public affal They ave generally well known to the republicans of the state, have the respect and confidence of the party wherever they are known, and will exert an influence accordingly. PROCITY OR RUIN. The appeal of the sugar interest of Cuba to the Spanish government in be- half of reciprocity with the United States has been followed by a similar petition from the tobacco growersand cigar man- ufacturers, This interest, a very large and important one, is even more urgent in asking for reciprocity than the sugar interest. The petitioners assert that they are confronted with a simple prob- lem—on the one side ruin, staguation, misery and vague hopes, and on the other side abundance, wealth and aprom- ising future, They do not regard it at all strange that the United Statesshould desire to pay for what it buys of Cuba with products of its own which Cubans must have. They understand that while we take their products to the amount of more than filty millioh dollars annually and sell to them less than ore-fourth of this amount, it isa one-sided trade which this country cannot reasonably be pected to continue if there is a practi Dble way to bring about a nearer eg ity in the transactions. We pro- duce pretty much everything that Cuba requires, and it is legitimate to ask the people of that island to deal as liberally with us, in proportion to their needs, s we deal with them, Whatever the Spanish government may think of this. and its judgment is likely to be largely influenced by the condition of its treas- ury, it is evident that the Cuban sugar and tobaccogrowers think this country fully justified in its position. They look with undisguised apprehension to the possibility of the United States market being closed against them, and without vescrve confess that they would suffer to an extent that cannot be overestimated. After stating the consequences that would ensue from closing the American market, they say: “It is necessary to avoid so much harm and ward off such calamities, and we find no other way but commercial treaty with the United ates accepting the reciprocity that our neighbors propose.” They urge that there is no time to lose in making a treaty, because the crisis that threatens is “terrible, imminent, and its conse quences embrace very serious dangers, There has been no enthusinsm regarding tho probable course of the Span- ish government toward these appeals. 1t has been stated to be the view of that government that it could not make a re- ciprocity treaty with the United States without violating the ‘*most favored na- tion” clause in its {reaties with other countries, but against this position is the fact that it did negotiate such a treaty with this country some years ago, which the senate refused to ratify, Its later view is doubtless due to English influence. At uny rate the Cuban peopie are thoroughly aroused to the serious na- ture of the situation, and they will not complacently regard any protexts or subterfuges by which the Spanish gov- ernment may attemptto avoid the de- mand they make upon it for the protec- tion of their intercsts from disaster. ;Ifit vojeets their appeal it may again have to defend its authority over the island by force of arms, and under circum- stances in which the Cubans would be very likely to find support not before given them. A REIGN OF ANARCHY. The people of Omaba, relying on the sturdy common sense of & majority of voters to defeat the amendment, have not given a servious thought to the im- mediate cousequence of its adoption, Suppose prohibition becomes a part of the organic law, what will be the re- sult? As soon as the state board of can- vassers certifies to a majority in favor of the amendment, it becomes u part of the constitution without further action, The Slocumb law becomes a dead letter. License ceases and every man is at lib- orty 1o becomen settled or perambulating saloon. The niended constiution cannot enforce ltsell., The legislature must pass o law providing penalties, With the gre«‘ost possible expedition an em- | ergency nct eould not be passed and ap- proved withiif thirty dnys. But there is no likelihood thata prohibition major- ity will be had in the coming legisla- ture, so that'tlie state would be without adequate laws to protect itself from an- rechy. It took Michigan three years to socuro logistation onforcing the prohibi- | tory amendment, It would take Neo- br amendment cap Meanwhile twin evils of prohibition—ngitators and free’ whisky—would hold high carnival in the sta#e, substituting outlawry, diesipation and disastrous strifo for peace, prosperity and contentment, The adoption of the amendment is fraught with another evil, the conse- quences of which strike at every home in the state.. The abolition of license would take from the school treasury of this city on the first of January a quar- ter of a million dollars. The means available for the schools at the present time is barely sufficient to maintain them to the first of the year, and having no resources beyond that time, the schools would be compelled to close, un- less the teachers and janitors volunteer their services for months, The money could not be raised by taxation before the first of June, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether the council would consent toa radical increase of the levy for school purposes. What is true of Omaha and its schools applies with equal force to every city and town in the state. The defoat of the amendment is essentinl to the mainte- nance of the schools, the preservation of the state from a reign of free rum, and the protection of the people from the mercenary horde of agitators whom the almighty dollar inflicts upon the people, AN APPEAL T0 OMATA. There are two questions to be decided today which are vital to the welfare and prosperity of Omaha. Upon the defeatof prohibition and the election of a congressman who can ren- der effective service in securing desired improvements will tura to a very large degree the prosperityof this city for the next two years. Under the re-appor- tionment soon to be made, Omaha will practically bo a congressional district by itself. Until that time Omaha should rotain her present efficient representa- tive, Two years hence, when the hominees of both parties are Omaha men, the choice of a representative may then be made on party lines, The situation at the present time is different, and the question is now one of urgent self-inter- est and sclf-protection rather than of party supremacy., Two candidates are before the people, Mr. Connell of Omaha and Mr. Bryan of Lincoln. Mr. Connell for many years has been identified with the growth and development of this city. As city attorney he rendered most effective and val- uable services by his successful defense of damage suits and in framing the present.city charter under which our extensive system of public improvements has been carried forward, Asa member of the present congress he has done excellent work and has now reached o position to more effectively serve the people of his district. To re- turn to Washington without the influ- ence which a re-election would give, would handicap him in every effort for the people he represents. It is well known that favors in congress are largely granted in consideration of others expected to ba returned. It is now a sort of turning point with Omaha. ‘With prohibition defeated, can we se- cure the additional appropriation desired for the new postoftice? Can we sccure a mint? Can the approprintion for new Fort Omaha be obtained? These are vital questions and of more importance to Omaha than the republicanism or de- mocracy of the representative, ‘What could Mr. Bryan, if clected, ac- complish for Omaha ov even tor Lincoln? He is lacking inexperience and unfamil- iar with legislation. He could secure no favors from the present administration, and at the close of one term in congress would suap his fingers at Omaha men, democrats as well as republicans, not having any further use for either, owing to Omaha and Lincoln being no longer in the same congressional district. On the (‘L\nh‘mv all of Mr, Connell’s interests ave heve and it is to Omaha he must look for future support. The voters in Omaha without regard to politics must stand by him. Their own welfare and the prosperity of Omahademands it. — AN ILLUSTRATED FALLACY. The democrats have been sending out a striking illustrated fullacy between the pages of their country newspapers for the past month. On Saturday the picwure occupied a full front page of the St. Louis Republic and a fraud so con- spicuously displayed may expect to be punctured. The picture is intended to vividly im- press the laboring man with the notion that he is taxed te-death, It shows that he rises in the morning and puts on a shirt, “taxed one hundred per cent,’ trousers ‘‘taxed gne hundred and ten per cent,” shoes “taxed twenty-five per t,” and so on-¢hrough all his and his wife’s wamdrobe, the food they oat, the kitehen'and table utensi ls thoy use, {he bed they rest on and the sheet they pull over thein. Finally these poor mortals rest in xpx*t’mtuxml grave, while their friends erach a tombstone that is “taxed sixty-eightper cent.” All these things are represented by a series of pen and ink sketches to bring them within the comprehension of the average democratic voter. But the picture goes too far. It shows in its center an illustration that is fatal to its logic. This is a picture of a horde of foreign workmen, clad in miserable rags and bearing evidences of grinding poverty in half-starved faces. Under this remarkable drawing are the words, “Imported labor, not taxed, deprives him of work and wages.” \\ ill the democratic editors inform th readers how it happens that the “untaxed labor of Europe’” wears rags, while the protected workman of America dresses in clothes which, according to ska two yoars and three months to se- | cure the necessary legislation should the | the | " | looked on merel their own artist, would look woll on any fashion plate? Will they explain why the wife of the untaxed European | labovoer is landing from the steamor fin the picture with a pack on her head, while the wife of the protected Amer- | fean is making new dresses for hor childven on & sewing ma- | chine aixed fortyfive per cont?” It the tariff is a tax, with no compensating advantages, why are the foreigners coming here at all to share in conditions which the democratic editor and artist depict in such discournging colors? The illustrated campaign fal- lacy bears its own refutation on its face. If the democrats 1t the laboring men of America to look only at results, without reference to reasonor argument, let them draw a picture of the home of the European workman beside the home of the Amervican: let them show by reproductions from actual life, the clothes that are worn by workmen on this and the other side of the sea; let American with the sanded floors of Eng- land and the floors in Ireland that lack even thesand; let them present the “taxed roast beef” of this country with the untaxed black bread of the old world, The one sufficicnt and unaswerable reply to the democratic campaign picture is the monumental fact that the American laborer lives better, dresses better and gives his children a better education and lavger opportunitios than the luboring man in any other country on the globe. OWING to the large number of candl- dates on the various tickets, as well as the mixed and bogus tickets which will be circulated, voters are liable to bo confused. This is particularly true of the legislative and county tickots: Only three senators, nine representatives and two commissioners can be voted for, The addition of oue or more names to cither of these vitiz the vote, Great care must be taken to prevent mistakes of this kind, Every ballot must be straight and legal, especially so because the bal- lot carries with it the voter’s sentiment on the prohibitory amendment, EVERY employer who can possibly do 50 should induce his mento vote before noon, Hundreds of citizens will lose their votes if they put the duty oft till afternoon or evening. Some of our voting places have over a thousand voterg registered, and the ballots must be ecast steadily and rapidly from 8 o’clock in the morning to 6 o’clock in the evening, in order that the full vote may be polled. THE BEE urges citizens of Omaha and Douglas county, as they value their homes, the honor of the city and its future prosperity, to rally at the polls at 8o'clock and cast their ballots at the earliest practicable moment.

The Budget ventares its non-partisan opin- 10n that Connell will have a large majority in Otoc county, and that in Douglas the vote will be almost unanimous for him. Two vears ago, when Connell was comparatively unknown outside of Omaha, he defeated by a good majority the ablest democrat in the state, and now that he has served his dis- trict well in congress and proven himselt on the side of the farmer and labover, and per- fectly independent of his party in congress, why should he not carry the rict almost unanimously against a practically unknown candidute! That is the way it looks from where we sit. A 8 Manutactured to Order, York Times.
