WoLFE, an independent leader, says & judge of the supreme court, does not require very much ability, Ho suys the judgo has nothing to do but look over tho records and evidence of the lower courts and pass upon them and this takes a lower grade of ability than is required in the inferior courts. This is the style of argument used by the in- dependent apologists for Edgerton whom they recognize as a lawyer of no ability or standing. | or authority in IMPORTANCE OF THE JUDICIARY. A wise and upright judiciary is the | bulwark and safeguard of good govern meut. This isa country of law. The national government and all the state | governments are founded upon written constitutions which clearly define their duties and powers. These organic laws provide for a jadicial system with thority to interpret them and all legi lative pussed in pursuance such laws. The judic is supreme in the exercise of its pre- scribed functions, Th no tribunal aska above the su- isions of which ar au- acts organic ary preme court, the de final as to all matiers affecting ox sively the affaivs of Nebraska, or which there is no federal question in- volved How important it last resort should men of sound legal attainments, irre- proachable character and estab- lished intogrity, ought to be obvi- ous to the i intelligence. Serious wrong and injustice may result from electing incapable and unworthy men to the inferior courts, but the as is that this court of be composed of most dan- ger of these is immeasurably increased when such men are placed on the bench of the supreme court. Ignorance, preju- dice and corruptibility in that tribunal would put in jeopardy the most vital in- terests of all classes of our people and could not fail to be greatly dam- aging to the welfare of the state. Justice would be threatened where it should have its stronghold, confidence in the judici would impaired, if not destroyed, and the vood name and credit of Nebraska would suffer everywhere. To avert such consequences is manifestly the vory highest duty that can be devolyed upon the people of Nebrasica. Of all the political mistakes they might commit could be so dangerous to their interests and to the welfare of the state as that of electing to the supreme bench an incapable and unworthy man. ‘The republican candidate for associate justice of the supreme court is a jurist of learning, experience and unquestioned character for uprightness and integrity. He has had an extended and honorable career as a district judge, and thoso who know most of him in that capaecity, vegardless of their political affilia- tion, sveak of him as eminently qualified to sit on the supreme bench, and as being in every way worthy of the confidence of the people. Noone has questioned his ability as a jurist. Noone has assailed his record as a judge. On the contravy, the uniform testimony from the district where ho has made his judicial career is, that he has been capable, just and incortuptible. Opposed to him is a man who, in a legal practice of a dozen years has acquired no standing at the bar, for whose professional qual- ifications no reputable lawyer would care to vouch, and who huas absolutely no claim, whether as lawyer or citizen, to popular confidence and support us a canaidate for the supreme bench. Such are the men one of whom the people of Nebraska will thr weeks from today elect to the highest judicial tribunal in*® the state—Judge Post, the able and experienced jurist, in every way fully equipped for the position, and Joseph Edgerton, a lawyer without repute in his profes- sion and with no more experience in the practice of law than can be obtained in justice and police courts. What citizen, desiring to maintain the character of the supreme court, can have any doubt as to which of these candidates should veceive his support an any farmer or workingman, having the intelligence to appreciate the importance of the ju- diciary, and to understand that it is as essential to his interests as to those of any other class of the people thatthe suprome court should be composed of lawyers of intelligence, character and undoubted integrity, question for a mo- ment that it is his duty to cast his vote for the republican candidate? Between such mon as Judge Post and Bdgerton— demonstrated fitness on the one hand and unquestionable unworthiness on the other, there cin be no reasonable con- troversy as to a choice. none o THE NATIONAL CONVED November 8 in Washington, D. ¢ question of the time and place of holding the next republican national convention will be determined.

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY, It is reported from Washington an arrear effected tween the the United States government to consists that heon be- of Gorman interesting the farmers of this country. It of the removal by Germany of the duty on wheat, flour and meats ported to t country from the United States in return for the continued ad- mission of Goerman beet into this country free of duty. been understood for some time that tions to this end were in pro, not very long ago Minister Phelps, at Berlin, exprossed a hopeful opinion of the result. There has also been a strong pressure on the government from tho German people for a removal of the du* ties, which under existing conditions are especially burdensome and oppres- But the government ap- peared for a time to be determined to retain the duties, though it did some- thing for the relief of the people in re- ducing the rates of transportation in a portion of the empire. Recently it w given out that our minister was in- structed to notify the German govern- ment that unless the grain duties were removed or reduced the president would restore the duty on German sugar, but there was probably no foundation for this statement. No threat of this kind was employed to secure the removal of the prohibition against American pork products, the American minister having discovered that this would not be a judicious way of dealing with the Ger- man government, so that it is not likely he would adopt such a course in nego- tiating for the removal of the grain du- ties. Assuming ment has government and the canned sugar has negotin- ess, and It sive the report of this reciprocity arrangement with many to be correct, it is an important and valuable concession that will benelit both the American farmers and the German consumers, Of course inany event Germany would take all of our grain she can obtain during the noxt twelve months, but with the duties remwoved her merchants can offer bettor prices for it in competition with buyers of other countries, and still supply the demand without increasing the price to consumers. [t is to Dbe expected that under this avrangement there will bs devel- oped a very actiy demand from Germany for our wheat and flour, the effect of which can hardly fail to stimu- late prices. The greatest advantage of the arrangement is therefore likely to be realized by the American farmers, towhose prosperity it may be remarked, everything is now contributing. Such a reciprocity arrangement as this with Germany is to be noted as another of the signal achievements in this direction of the Harrison admin- istration, oud it corveys the promise, if not the assurance, of others no less val- uable. This is the sort of reciprocity which the agricultural interest of the United States can appreciate, and which does not interfere with American indu tries or American labor. It is a form of free trade that is entirely consistent with the American system of protec- tion. THE Real Estate Owners’ association of this city has been in existence long enough to prove beyond question that it is an organization of great value to the community i it is properly supported. Outside of 1ts work in counee- tion with properly advertising Omuha and interesting capital and enterprise in the city it can make itself invaluable to the taxpayers by intelligent attention to the problem of good government. [t deserves a more hearty and general endorsement at the hands of the people and its exchequer needs Omaha dollas Let the real estate owners of the city rally to its support. WiEN the independents became a political party they necessarily assumed the responsibility for the conduct and actions of the men elevated to office by theiv party. They canpot therefore disclaim accountability for the most extravagant legislature ever assembled in Nebraska.

TheJournal congratulates Omaha on her good sense and public spirit in that particular divection, Lincoln would do well totakea lesson in the matter of a city library from Omaba and put men in_charge of the municipal government who will foster the library instead of fighting down the small appropriations that are mudo for it to less thau one-fourth of the sum annually spent in Omaba. Ay Bring it to Omaha, Derver Sun. There are reports from Waskington that in that city Chicago and Cincinnati are ro- garded us tho only real competitors for the next republican national conveution. Now, Cincinnati is an unlucky city for the holding of presidentiul conventions. The nomina- tions for president made there haveull turned out badly. Buchenan, Greeloy, Hayes and Hancock were all nominated at Cincin- nati. Hence it would seem like flying in the face of providence, or at least of luck, for the national committee to select that city. Chicago nominations have indeed turned out pretty well—about as well as they could. But that city has no monopoly on ropublican national conventions. Bring the conveution this time further west to the section whero all the tendencies are to hopefulness, to brightness, to success. Bring it to Omaha. mers. Philadelvhia Preoss. Thero are twenty-threo widows and daughters of revolutionary soldiers who still draw pensions, though the last male survivor died longago. This fact leads to some cur- ious speculation as to the number of widows of veteraus of the civil war who may be on the pension rolis a bundred years hence. But under proper legislation there need be no fear on that ‘’here 15 no justice in vixing the people to pay a pension for the remainder of her hife to a young woman who married a veteran avout to drop into his grave. A woman who marrios a veteran aftor the war is over undorgoes no hardships that give ber a claim for pension. But had such a law been in existence it would make a great difforence in the number of widows cn the pension rolls. There has been some logisla- tiou on this suject, but more may be needed.

'Lhere has been a certain kind of fusion botween tho democrats and independents in Adams county, but we expeet to overcomo it We are working on a still hunt and it 13 to mie that we are going to b successful. There is a large number of democrats who will vete for Post. They are in the main business men. They are not of the stripe which would vote for a a democratic nominee even if he was a yaller dog and who will do anything to beat the republican party. They will vote for Post because their interests aemand it. If they want to borrow money from the east, they are toid that they cannot get it under exist- ing circumstancos.

'UESDAY, OCTOBER | the | one 13, 189 w HINGTON GOSSIP, " WaAsHINGToN Burkau or Tie Ben, 518 FounTEENTH STRERT, } Wasntvaroyx, D, C., Oot. 12, Forthe farmer especially, u most important | commeroial treaty has just beon completed with Germany. It is belloved in official oir- | cles that it will operate moro largely to our | advantage than any treaty we have or may | acquire, as it provides a foreign market for wheat and ryo and flour and their products probably the Iargest surplus produced oy the American farniers. The details of the treaty are ot mado publie. Tt 15 understood that this government awaits publicity on the part of Germany. Tho traaty was taken to Presi- dent Harrison, 1t is stated, whilo he was ro contly at Saratoga, by General John W, Foster for the State department, and Baron Von Mumm, for the Gernan government, and that official notice has been recoived of its approval by the iatter. Euough is learned of the provisions of the | reaty to state that it gives very large and important concessions for the entry into German ports of American cereals, especially wheat and rye and the products thercof. Tho duty levied upon these articlos by Germany at prosent is very heavy, the duty on wheat and rye being about 32 cents a bushel, and on wheat and rye flour and corn meal about 11 cents a pound. The special rates given us in the treaty arc smd to bo very far bolow those named. Germany didn’t want to give us free admission of thoso articles bocauso | it would be too large a concession 10 the United States and too great a discrimination great against Frauce, Rou wania, Servia, Buropean ‘I'urkoy, Canada and Russia, which are largo exporters to tho German empire. The first five countries named averaged during the past five or six years exports, of rye alone aggregating about 5,000,000 bushels & year, while Russia sent German more than 20,000,000 bushels in 1300, The oxports of tho Unitea States to that country averaged about 2,000,000 bushels a yoar. Our imports from amounted to $8,337,653 and in 1801 07,313, 383, Ta 1500 our oxports to Germany amotinted to 854,515,215 and in_ 1501 §01,654,081, an io crease of $7,300,700. Germany has for many yeers imported the bulk of her breadstuffs and we bave been trying to fur- ni h them but have had nothing to trad We now give them concessions on sugar on our now tariff law and Germany takes off so much of the duty she has levied upon all of our breadstuffs, that we will practically have a monopoly and can supply her to the ex- clusion of any other couut; Tho concessions we get are so great that overproductions in other countries will not materially affect our market there. Indeed the republican party is again entering upon an era of $1 wheat; more than that, it has in- creased the price to that point and promises to push it above and keen it there. Throughout the kingdoms of Gormany there was last year not only a very short crop of wheat and Tye, but potatoes and everything else that could in a degreo take the place of our bread- stuffs. Our wheat, rve and corn has been pouriag into the ports of Germany recently and paying the present high tariff, and it is believed that they will stream in' ata vory much greater rate after January 1 noxt when the provisions o the treaty go into effect and our breadstuifs pay tho unexceptionally low rates. Bread is today 50 por cont dearer in Go many than it was ive yearsago, and potatoes are S0 per cent higher “than last yoar. Gor mauy imported in 1500 breadstuffs to the value of $42,05%,015 and (ast year $17,652057. Of these amounis we supplied in 1590, $4,52 991 and in 1591 32,042,404, It 1s now believed tiat with the immense advantages we will have over all other coun tries under tho now treaty wo can supply nearly all of Germany’s exvorted breadstufs, or an average of from 25,000,000 to £30,000,000 ayear, Wich taeaid of oul other commer cial treaties this would provide a markot for our eutire surplus at a better figure than our farmers have received in the most favorablo years, liko the preseut ouo for instance. The constant breadstuff demands of Germany aro four times as great as all forcign producers can supply, making it absolutely imperative that she should look to this country for her supolies, Germany In_ 1500 “ Prof. A.

His endorsement by the democrats seems to have been a hoodo. Grand Island Tadependent: If the rail- roads were in search of a man that they thought could be bought very cheap, they would probably send a lightning spocial to the home of tho independent candidate, South Omaka, without expecting to bo griev- ously disappointed. Dawes County Journal: flowls agninst tho railroads wilt not elect an 1gnoramus as chief justice of thé supreme court or to the district bench here. This is no yeliow dog campaign. When it comes to filiing the high judicial offices 1w Nebraska the people will demand men of expericnce, logal attainments aud ability, and not oftica secking dema- gogues who have never had a case in the su- preme court and have uo standing at the dis- trict bar, Grand Island Independent: prejudice can induco any intelligent man vote for such a vile, vulgar and profane in- competont as Edgerton as against such a learned, experienced and incorruptible a man as Judge A. M. Post is beyond our power of | comprehension, and particularly when said supporters pretend to favor good men and reform. Sensible men seldora search tho ranis of police court pettifoggers for suitable exponents of a real reform movement. Their work is scarcely 1 that line, Wisner Chronicle: Judge Post is highly endorsed by democrats and republicans aliko in his own district, and those who know him best aro his strongest adherents, He is not nor has he boen a politician in a partisan seuse, and his worss encmies fail to cite an justance in which he showed any signs of being biased by tho blandishments or boidle of corporations. £'rom all that has been said of nim the Chronicle believes he isaman that will honor the highest tribunal of the state with his integrity of character aud judicial lenrning. Kearney Hub: The man Edgerton who sceks 1o bofoul tho supreme boneh makes up in vituperation what no lacks i common sense. In his Kearnoy spoech the other evening ho said: “If wo are to cling to the old parties wo might as well tear down our scnool houses. burn our churches and write on the vault of heaven: ‘Satan has tri- umphed over God,’ and turn allthe imps of hell loose on our country.” This sentiment is endorsed by the Fremont Herald and given promiuence in the Omaba World-Herald, both of which ought to have better sense, The foul mouthed & of such a dema gogue can not cortainly have weight with the people of the state, further than to cause them to spew him out. Lincoln Journat: Of all the orators now campaigning in this state nono is meeting with the coid shoulder moro frequently than the late railroad, telegraph and telephone pro- curer Paul Vandorvoort. No matter how vigorous the billingsgate and vitupera tion he heaps upon the other it fails upon the cars of his listeners with. out weight and without influence and when he has finished one of his egotisti cal pororations instead of being greeted with tumultuous applause and having audience gather around bim to shako | pis band and commend his speecn he | see sthem stray off into remote corners and | following whispered | picious glances in his direction with Vandervoort is that no matter whero ho woes v this state his past recora has praceded him and killed tho confidence that men might bave had n his houesty of purpose.
