GETTING THEIR EVES OPEN, The people of Nebraska are beginning to see the true charaster of Mr. Joseph Edgerton, eandidate of the independent party for nssociate of the preme court. They are carefully mens- uring the mental and moval proportions of that individual and investigating his qualifications in the light of what he lhas accomplished during o dozen years as a membor of the legal profession. This s all that is required to insure the overwhelming defeat of this impud; highest judicial It isonly ne fair-minded justice su- a position in for any intelligent man to examine the Edgerton to be convinced of unfitness to occupy any ju- nothing of aseat on That record is one furnishing cessar; and record of his dicial office, to sa; utter the supreme bench. of unbroken failure, dence of intellectual inforiority lack of both practical and professional qualifications thut would make his pres- ent pretensions altogether ludicrous if they were not seriously backed by a party. Tho simple truth this presumptuous aspirant supreme judgeship is, that he nothing of law, that his ments are meagre, and thut he is wholly without the judicial faculty. BEdgerton is merely @ very common place member of the ol of lawy the profession as “shysters,” a torm that touches the but- ton of deprecintory characterization. As the people learn move of Mr. I gerton his chances of election grow less. There can be no doubt that he is stead- ily losing ground. The hope of his sup- porters that he will receive a large part of the democratic is tain to be A jority of the democratic voters of Nebraska are intelligent men who have as strong desiro to maintain the character of the supreme court any other citizens, and thousands of them will sacrifice a possible pardsan advan- tage rather than vote to place on the supreme bench an utterly unfit and un- worthy man. There are undoubtedly democrats who will not allow to be influenced by sentiment than hos- tility to the republican party, but there is excellent reason to believe that the number of such will be found to be very much smailer than the inde- pendent supporters of Mr. Idgerton ex- pect. Ltisalsoa very safe prediction that Edgerton will fall a good deal short of getting the full vote of the independ- ent party.” Ho failed to get it last year, when he was not well known s he is now, and acquaintance with him and his record s fatal to vote making. It is to be pr sumed that there are men, and the num- ber is perhaps not small, who have too much independence and self-respect, nd too high a regard for the judiciary of the state, to permit themselves to bo into the support of a man whose election to the supreme bench would subject Nebraska to the ridicule and contempt of the councry, and covld by no possibility result to tho advantage of ny interest. There are intel- ligent men in the independent ranks who must see that the most serious in- jury that could be done their organiz tion would be to elect to the highest court in the state a mun so conspicuously unfit as Joseph Edgerton. The campaign of education as to the true character and qualifications of I.d gerton will go on. His record, almost though it s, will be kept before public attention. There i no present duty of greater importance than this. And it can confidently asserted that the more thorough the inspection of Edgerton the smuller he will appear. Of all blunders that hove been made by the promoters of new political movements during the last year or two his nomina- tion as a candidate for the supreme bench was the greatest, ev and considerable garding for a knows aliost general acquir rs known to vote cor- disappointed. ma- as some themselves any higher 50 sped barren be STATE LOYALTY, Loyalty to one’s state—pride in its good name and devotion to its interests and welfare—is not only consistent with i to the nation, but absolutely essential to it. The citizen will not be less but more loyal to the entire coun- try according to the measure of his patriotic vegard for tho credit of his state and his desire to advance its pros- perity. Tt is beenuse Governor Boies violated this cardinal principal of good citizon- ship that thousands of Towa voters who supported him two years ago will not do 80 this y The people of Towa are loyal to their state, proud of its high character and devoted to its develop- mont. It has been traduced and by one of its own citizens whom a mistaken con- fidenco led the people to elevate to the highest office in their gift.

Ivery citizen of Towa who is sincerely loyal to the eredit and welfare of the Stato must answer these questions with & most emphatic negative. It does not matter that no very great injury has done to the interests of the state by the false statoments of Governor Boies, which he has the hardihood to uttompt to defend and justify. 1t does not acquit him of most unpatriotic conduct because the creditors of the farmers have not them for payment, becaus not been a rush to foreclose and because capital has not driven away from the state.

The feeling of appre- hension s by Boies would have asserted itself, and every farmer in that owing anything would have found the pressure for pay- ment greater than ever befc Capital would have the state, interest rates would have gone up, and on overy hand enterprise would have been crip- pled. The seeds of distrust sown by Governor Boies might have borne bitter fruit for Towa but for the splendid hounty of nature. Governor Boies has shown that for partisan purpose he is capable of defam- ing the people who have honored him. He has demonstrated that where party interests are he can put patriotism in the background. He has proven that ho is not loyal to the credit and the welfare of Towa.

Congressman McKeighan in his speech at South Omaha is reported as Lying that the national bank act made it possible for a man to buy $100,000 in bonds for 855,000, draw intercst twice a year on the bonds and loan $90,000 in bank notes to the dear people. When did the government of the United States sell its bonds at 55 on the dollar? Before the war United ates bonds were drawing from 8 to 12 per cent interest, but no government bond has ever heen sold below par. If McKeighan means that a $100 bond could be bought during the war or right aftes the war for $55 in old why does ho not say so? The national bankers certainly did not buy their bonds with gold when gold was a commodity and had entirely gone out of circulation. During the war the government was begging people to buy its bonds. There was no favoritism shown. Thousands of working people invested their government bonds. The national banker had no ad- vantage over any other buyerin the pur- chaseof the bonds. He simply secured tho right to deposithis bonds in the treasur, 1d was empowered to issue 90 per cent of their face value in national currency. In other words the national bank with $100 of greenbacks bought a $100 bond upon which it did draw from 5 to 7 per cent interest, according to the serics of the bond. Asan inducement the gov- ernment also allowed the national bank: to issue $00 of currency for every $100 of bonds and loan these notes at any rate of interest that he might be able to get. This bonus given by the government floated $300,000,000 of bonds at a period when the credit of the country was ex- nausted. Livery bank organized within the last twenty-five years has been comvelled to pay a premium for its bonds and that pre- mium has varied all the way from 5 to per ceni, und yet MecKeighan asserts that the national banks bought their bonds for 55 conts on the dollal MceKeighan knows better. If he does not know better he shows him- self ignorant of the rudiments of our financial history. If he does know bet- tor, ho is a demagogue and an impostor, It is a burni shame that a man who is to represent Nebraska in the national legislature will resort to such charla- ever cents savings in 25 25 HOME AGAINST THE WORLD. Omaha is now a city of 140,000 people. There are 168 factories in the city with 12,000 employes. Not less than 60,000 of our people are directly dependent for a livelihood upon the wages of these employes. Probably 30,000 more are in- dirvectly supported by these 60,000 peo- pie. It requires no deep arithmetical calculation to see that if we can double the product of these factories we can in- crease the number of employes to 18,000, They would represent an increase in population of not less than 30,000 who would be divectly supported by theso additional femployes and 15,000 ofh who would be indirectly dependent. Thus 45,000 persons would be added to our population ns the immediate result of doubling the demand for Omaha goods. It is very easy to see that indi- rectly us a result of the prosperity which this would bring to the city capital would seck mvestment here and not le: than 15,000 other persons would be at- tracted to Omaha, thus bringing our population up to 200,000 by January 1, 1803, as tho legitimate, logical, inevit- able result of doveloping our own in- du; The manufacturers and newspapors cannot bring this happy result about without theaid or co-operation of con- sumers. The peoplo who now buy goods mado in the east must give Omaha the preference. The people of Omaha can within sixty days create more than double the demund for Omaha goods if they will individually und collectively resolve to buy only Omaha goods ana keep their resolution. The demand governs the supply, and the Omaha factories would be compelled to enlarge their plants and incrense the number of their employes at once if the people were to act upon this suggestion. It is proper to make this sort of a universal com- pact in this city which shall be mutualiy beneficial and to incluae in the agreement the manufactured products of Nebraska, Lot the watch- word of every Omuha household be home against the world, and wo shall witness such a developmant of commer- cial independonco and prosperity in this city as would atiract the attention of the entire country.

With his wifo and a cook he visited the hotels which Americans patronized and would surpriso them at their dinners by laying bofore thom generous sup- plies ot American jolnny cake, American corn starch pudding snd other corn foods, Ho was a bosom friend or Buffalo Bill and this in_part ied Commissioner F'ranklin to think that Murphy's corn scheme might lack dignity. When Secretary Rusk took hold of agricultural affairs ho was greatly surprisod that no oficial offort had been made in Paris to show the value of Americ us a food. Ho heard of Murphy and wrote'to him just about tte timo the crank was on his last legs. Later Murphy was commissioned as special agent for tho Agricultural department at £2,000 a yoar. Ho wrote to tho Agricultural department a short time ago saying that if it had not been for the appointment coming in the ick of time his entive labor of yenrs would have been thrown away, for the money he had squandered and the kicks and snubs he had recoived liad at last driven him to desperation. Commissioned as the represen tative of Secretary Rusk he now goes to ( y with prospects that his lubors will last bo recognized. Samuel J. Tilden was the first to propose that foreigners ought to be taught to use Indian corn as food. He got Abrahum S, Hewitt to introduce a bill in congress giving $100,000 for introducing this articlo abrond, but the bill failed to vass. After twenty years Secretary Rusk takes up Tilden's idea and is putting in his offorts to make it a suc cess. Up to the present time only 4 per cent of our eatire corn product has been sent abroad, and even this iusignificant export haus been used by the forelgners as cattlo feed. But with Europe urgently pressed for breadstufls to tako tho place of Ler short crops, Secretary Rusk belicves that the time has now come to open up foreign markets for corn as a human food, and that *“Corn Cake Murphy” will be tho apostle of corn in Ku- rope. in H. H. Androws and wifo of Calloway, Neb., are at the St. James, Itis very likely that the president will soon appoint ex-Congressman A. C. Thomp- son of Portsmouth to the vacancy on the court of claims.
