The inevitable alternative to this, in the opinion of Mr. Stickney, is tho state assumption and performance of the whole business of transportrtion, RIGHT RING TO THE RESOLUTIONS. The county central committee at its meeting yesterday adopted three ring- ing resolutions which are expressive of the sentiments of the republicans of this county relative to the nomina- tions to be made at tha state con- vention. They are good enough for the platform and instructions of every dele- gation sent to Lincoln on the 24th inst. They should be read by every repu lican in the stato and endorsed as a proper exposition of the views the rank and file, upon whose and work the issues of the ensu- ing campaign, depend. With a man such as is named in these resolutions at the head of the ticket, the people w know that the republican party has tired the railroad ring from politics and their confidence will be restored and he will be triumphantly elected. The following are the resolutions: Whereas, 1t has been frequently charged in times pust that the railroad corporations of Nevraska have mfluenced the action of state conventions of both parties and have securad the nomination and election of their favorites to office, and Whereas, This charge, whether tiue or false, has seriously injured the republizan party, and so the state of Nebraska; the fore, Resolved, That we denounce all interfer- ence with the poiitical machinery of the state on the part of monopolies, and especially do we condemn any effort on their part to influ- enca the nomination for associato justice of the supreme court, and Resolved, That for this high oftice we de- wiand the nomination of a man of ability and character, one who is nbove the slightest suspicion of being under the influence of any railroad or other corporate monopoly, and one for whom republicans will not be obliged to apologize. Resolyed, T'hat we are opposed to all sug- gestions of fusion with the democratic party on a state ticket, and believe with clean, un- trammelled candidates and a candia platform of priuciples we shall’ carry the state for the republican party, and make assurance of & republican victory in 1892 doubly sure. GERMANY 8 FOOD CRISIS. The American consul general at Frankfort, Captain Frank H. Mason, has made an intevesting report to the State department on the breadstuff’s crisis in Germany, Ho states that very little pure wheat bread is eaten by the middle classes in Germany, the staff of life toa vast majority of the people being bread with flour ground from a mixture of rye and an inferior quality of wheat. The consumption of this is so large that Germany imported last yoar nearly a million tons of rye, from which it can reaiily be understood what a serious matter to the people the failure of the Russian rye crop i The consul points out that the deficit in Germany cannot be filled from any known source in Europe, and the people of Germany, like those of EFrance and IEngland, will have to draw upon the well-filled gran- aries of the United States for a large purt of their food supply during the coming year. The removal of the pro- hibition against American pork will, it vensonably expected, somewhat ro- lieve the situation, but the help from this source can hardly be ve The surplus of wheat in this country will not be sufficient to supply the Euro- pean deficit, and it is obvious that there must bo either an enormous economy in the wuse of bread or corn will have to be largely sub- tituted for wheat and rye. Secretary Rusk is alive to the opportunity for urging upon public attention in Gev- many the merit of Indian corn as human food, and he has authorized Colonel Charles J. Murphy, who is in Europo as the commissioner for Nebraska, to pop- ularize the consumption of corn, to go to Herlin and lay before the government the expediency of making concessions that will allow of the extensive impor- tation of American corn. It can- not bo predicted with any degreo of cortainty what the result of this mi sion of Colonel Murphy will be, but it is not promising in view of the doeter- mination thus far manifested by the German government to adhere to the duty on corn. It Has declined to do move than concede a reduction in the freight tariff for cercals on the state ways of Prussia although strongly pe tioned to reduce orremove duties, and it is questionable whether the government can be induced to depart from its policy in this matter.
