Jay Burrows, the independent dic- tator, in his speceh at Minden, Octo- ber 6, suid: “Three-fourths of the democrats in Nebraska will vote for Joe Edgerton; then after election they will claim that they clected him. They have gall enough to say it. We will know we elected him ourselves, and could have done it if not a single democrat in the state had voted for him.” DENOUNCING THE OLD PARTIES. | World-Herald, October 2; >N, Nov., Oc ¢ tndepondent party 6f this county mooting today at the James opers house. Rev. Jo L Atkinson of Cozad prosiaed and the Overton cornet band was on hand in full torce with [ts soul stireing music. The first speaker was o Il. Powers, who for two solid hours fired hroadside HOT INTO BOTH Til He drew a par- allol botw, v and t vory of th s with such lozic and teliin; [ inco the most skeptical that the peopie’s party is a necessity of the Umes and tho prineipies whieh it’ advocatos aro the only site road to freedom. He showed conclusively that the tendency of THE OLD PARTIES was to mako the r.ch richor and the poor poorer, und closed with an earncst, effootive appeal n behalf of the nominees of the Independents. Tle compired the records of Post and Edgerton, and lict of tho audience wis to give' their support to Honest Joe. LexiNg Mr. W. W. Kevser is a capablo and reputablo attorney. He is regarded by members of the bar as a man_ naturally fitted for the bencb, BLACKTHORNS are again called into play in Cork to dotermine the merits of candidates for seats in the house of commons. As a krockdown argument a good staunch blackthorn well directed has 1o equal in all Treland. NEBRASKA cannot afford to injure her credit in the money centors of the world by injudicious political action. Seventy- fiva per cent of the active business capital of the state is borrowed money. It is essential to tho development of our farms, manufactories and all our indus- tries that wo maintain good credit. HENRY OSTHOFFP was a party to the nefarious schemo for packing the eloc- tion booths with his partisans. The boodlo gang of contractors who are ma- nipulating tho canvass for him will r sorttoany fraud necessary to compass his election. They will fail. The pooplo of Omaha will not disgrace themsolvos by electing as mayor a man whose record has been bad, who has no qualifications for the offico, who was nominated by boodling contractors, and who is 4 crea- ture of tho franchised monopolies and city contractors, THE attitude of Chili with reference to the demand of this government for roparation is said not to create any anxioty in Washington, but is regarded in New York as being very grave. The opinion of persons engaged in the Chilian trade is that Chili is disposed to fight, and this is the reasonable in- ference from what is reported re- spocting the position of the pro- visional government. It was hardly to have been expectea that the jupta would immediately aceedo to the de- mand of the United States. It is nat- ural that it should make some con- cossion to the popular dislike of this country, in which its members presum- ably share, and in order to retain public respect and confidence it was porhaps necessary to assume a defiant atti- tude. It doos mnot follow, how- over, thut this means an inten tion to fight. Still it would not be wise to conclude that Chili will not fight. She has a considoruble navy, the peoplo know little of the resources of this country and are inflated with tho idea of their own military prowess, and it is quite probablo that they fancy they would have the support of England in case of a war with the United States. ‘When they come to consider the matter more soberly than they are now able to do their views may a de- cided change, for giving them credit for a fair amount of intelligence the cannot fail to conclude that a conflict with this country could only eventuato in their disastrous dofeat. Our govern- ment should notand doubtless will not recede in the least from the just demand It has made, - undergo THE THE DRIFT T0 POST. | Judge Post has boen rapidly gaining supporters during the last two or three woeks, aod undoubtedly will continue to d0 %o during the remaining days of the paign. These come from democrats and independents who desire that tho | charucter of the supreme court of Ne- | braska shall be maiantained. The col- | umns of Tne 3 borne testi- mony to the that there are many democrats in the state who feel that it is more important to keep ignor- | ance and incompetency out of the high- est judieinl tribunal than it is to gain a partisan advantage the value of which would vol There are hundreds of men, also, among the inde pondents who do not want to seo the su- me court deteriorate, and, having had their eyes opened to the unfitness of Mr. Edgerton will not support him. There is nothing so essential to the © of all the peopte as an intelli- gent, clean, honest judiciary., A legis- lature may pass bad laws, an executive may usurp authority, public officials may be unfaithful, but so long the judicial department of the governmont is in the hands of wise and upright men the peoplo have the means of remedying all abuses and correct- ing all mistakes. It is the bul- wark and safeguard of popular govern- ernment, and the citi 1 have no higher duty than to Zive nis vote and his influence to maintain the judiciary at the highest ndard of merit and in- No mau who believes this po- right can hesitate for a mo- ment betweon Post and dgerton. The consideration which should determine the choice are entirely with the former, His credit- able or a8 o jurist amply attests his ability to occupy a place on the supreme bench, and gives every assurance that can reasonably be asked that in that would be a safe and judi- cious guardian of the constitutional rights of the peoplo. His opponent has absolutely no claim, on the score of fit- ness, to popular support. He has no rep- vtation as a lawyer, and his public speeches show him to be with- out attainments in any other respect. To place such a man the supreme bench would everywhere discredit the intelligence of our people. There are thousands of democrats in Nebraska who feel as much pride in the state as any other class of our people, and who desire to preserve its good name and promote its prosperity. 1t is such democrats who are coming to the support of Judge Post. There are many men who sympathize with the objects of the independent party, but who have too much concern for the character of our highest judicial tribural to allow them to vote for the candidate of that party. Tho drift to Judge Post is stondy and strong and his election by a hand- some majority seems assured. HOW TO RES:ORE CONFIDENCE. Tho representative of one of the strongest mortgage loan companies in the world has vecently made a tour of the state and has recommended that his company withdraw entirely from busi- in Nebraska for the present. Several enstern companios are refusing to discount Nebraska mortgages and others are declining remewals upon real estato in this state. Foreign capitalists are badly frightened over the threatened unfavorable legislation. The sole reason given for this course is the nction of certain nominees for judicial positions who openly announce that they will favor the debtors in foreclosure suits brought by foreign loan companies. The effect of all this is to increase the rate of 1ntorest and to drive capital away from Nebraska., Citizens of Nebraska will not permit the calamity crowd toblind their oyes to the real issues at stake 1 the present campaign. They have too much sense tobe influenced by livs told by conscience- -ess organs and peripatetic demngoguos alleging thut Judge Post's canaidacy is in the interest of the railways and that of his ignorant opponent in behalf of tk people. They know that the republican nomineo is honest, capable and un- trammelled. They know that he has decided moro railroad cases than any othe single district judge in the state and that ho i untainted by the influence of corporato monopoli Tk know that he nominated by the republican party with- out the intervention of corporation bosses and that he is absolutely un- pledged and can therefore siton the su- premo bench to pass upon the questions brought before him without bias ov prejudico. His manly speech on ac- cepting the nowination ought to put to shamo the malignant linrs who sooking to mislead the public in regard to his charactoer, This campaign is the business interests are involved. Like all new states Nebraska s dependent upon out- side capital for the moans of developing her industries. We ave and for muny years will continue to be borro Fully 75 per cent of the uctive capital of obraska is loaned by eastern compan- ies. The independent movement in tho hands of blatant demagogues has be- come a source of alarm to eastorn capi- tal. It will be remembered that a joint resolution was necessary to restore con- fidence among eastorn investors last winter and that the feecling was then almost panicky, The good crops huve helped to restore confidence. The show. ing of the resources made by Tne Brg and other newspapers has added another olement to relieve tho proverbial timid- ity of capitalists The companies are now merely awaiting the results of the clection to determine whether they shall resume business with the old time confidence, We cannot afford to endorse the an- archistic doctrines of the party repre- sented by Edgerton by electing him to any oftice for which he has no qualific tions, upon a platform which is properly rogarded us & menace to the prosperity of the country. We need eastorn capi- tal and we must vestore confidence in the honesty of our debtors whose ability todevelop their farms Rnd build up the industries of town and country will for wany years bo gauged by the credit we can waintain in the money centers of the oldor states and cities.

The prosont season’s crop has put the seal of disapproval upon the statements of the calamity politicians, Lot us keep our eredit good and re- pudiate the crowd whose only excuse for prominence in our state affairs has been its consequent dis- tress, and who have managed to ride into consequence upon & wave of falsehood, slander, vituperation and sophistry. ques- MUST HAV , 4 FAIR ELECTION. The citizens of Omaha, regardless of party and regardiess of creed, are vitally interested in taking the city and count govornment outof the hands of boodlers, combinations of contractors and po rate monopolies who enjoy special privi loges at the expense of the taxp: We cannot hope to dislodge these per- nicious and powerful combinations un less wo have a fair election and an hoa- est count of the ballots, The Australian system of voting will be a mere o if our election ro 1 ed in the interest of boodle can- didates, no matter und The action of the mayor and council in placing these boards almost entirely in the hands of men identified with the supporters of candidates who are known to be the more creatures and catspaws of a gang more unscrupulous and rapacious than Tammany eve dared be, foreshadows clearly a bold and determined effort to steal the election. In other words it is manifest that the ballots and returns are to bo manipulated to count out the men who are elected and count in the men who are rejected. Against such a highhanded plot T'ie BEE enters its most solemn pro- test. Such an outrage never will be submitted to even if 500 special policeman, picked out of the gang of roustabouts are marshalled by the boodle combine to overawe the people under the pretense of guarding our polling places from mob violence. ors, hoards or what pretense. BEWARE OF DECOYS! The workingmen of Omaha had better open their eyes. A few weeks agon convention of so-called anti-monopolists, styling themselves independents held in this city. It was for the purpose of nominating judges of vhe district court, That convention was packed with a gang of brass collaved strikers headed by Paul Vandervoort, the decoy railroad independent. Tle result was the nomi- nation of a ticket made up almost en- tirely of lawyers who have been in the employ of railvoads directly or indirectly for years. Judge Doane, who more than any other man on the bench represents the unti-monop- oly principlo and has fearlessly discharged his duties and protected our citizensand taxpayers from encrouach- ments of railroads and franchised cov- porations, was left off, and so was Judgo Hopewell, for whom Vandervoort and his ilk of oil room lobbyists have no us Now comes another decoy movement. A great labor meeting is called ostensi- bly to denounce Mr. Boggs for working to get the repeal of the mechanics’ lien law. In roulity it is a scheme to connect the name of Mr. George P. Bemis with that of Boggs because they have heen associated togother in sxposing tho boodlers in the court houso and city hall, There has been too much sand thrown already into tho eyes of workingmen about the mechanics™ lien law. The representative labor champions who were at Lincoln fighting the lien luw were in reality hired by the lumber dealers’ pool. The less they talk about the groat servico thoy rendered to the workingmen the better it will be for their own reputation. But why call this meeting now to de- nounce Boggs? Why didn’t they do so year ago when thematter was frosh in the minds of the publicand when peoplo still remembered the numbers of the railroad passes upon which thess anti-monopoly champions were traveling between Omaha and Lincoln? And why should Mr. Bemis be censurod for what Mr. Boggs saw fit to do? Bemis had no relation whatevor with Boggs when the legislature was in sossion. He has only been asso- ciated with him rvecently as secretary without pay uf the Real Estate Owner: association. When the mask is dropped by the parties who have called this labov indig tion meeting it will be found that they ure simply playing a part for cor- tain corporation hosses who want to de- feat Bemis because they know thoy can- not attach a string to him, It 1s an open sceret that the workingmen who do not want to support Ostholl are to be bamboozled into throwing their votes away to Conk- ling. Two votes for Conkling are one vote for Osthoff. Tkis is the truth of the matter and all the clatter and noise that tho decoy ducks will make about the in- terests and duty of the workingman to support Conkling should not deceive in- telligent und thoughtful opponents of boodleism and corporation misrule. was Tae foderal authorities are gotting ady to procoed against the trusts. The grand jury at Chicago will be com- posed of some of tho very best citizons, and it is said the list was mado up with special reference to passing upon tho evidence which the district attorney has secured against certain combinations oxisting in violution of the national lay. It is stated that the United States district attorney at St. Louis is about to proceed against the druggists’ com- bine there, which has beon pursuing a high-handed course in dictating to the | trade. It is understood that elsewhere the district attorneys have gathered evidence, and if it is deomed to be expe- dient will institute proceedings. The instructions sent out from the Depart- ment of Justice some months ago wero very explicit, and the requirements of tho law are as plain as language can mako them. It is made the duty of United States distrist attorneys everywhore to proceed against all trusts and combina- tions to control and officials are derelict when they fail todo 80, The law has been declared tutional by u circuit court of the United production, thoso consti- OMAHA DAILY |DYDN FRIDAY States, but of course tho trusts will not be satisfied unti the law is passed upon by the supremdgourt. The administra- tion can do noflfing more cortain to com- mend itsell tohfhe approval of the coun- try than the inStitution of proceedings against all combinations in restraint of trade, SENATOR ATX1SON has oxprossod him- self as being vw‘l satisfled with the out- look in Towa, and certainly no one is bet- ter qualified to_judge of the situation. Jotwithstanding the protests of Gov- ernor Boies that the democrats have no idea of ‘‘Michiganizing” the state in cnso thoy are successful, the republicans beliove that this would be one of their first legislative acts. It is not to be doubted that the pressure upon them to redistrict the state would he irresistible, and it would not be confined to home politicians. Given the opportunity they would not fail to improve it, for the de- mand to do so would be backed by tho entire democratic party. The feeling that Towa should not be committed to froe and unlimited age is also inducing republicans who strayed away from the party two years ago to return, and there is overy reason to expect that a considerable number of sound money democrats will cast thoir votes so as to rebuke their party for its false position regarding sil- ver. The outlook for the republicans in Towa is exceedingly favorablo, and the suceass of the party by a good plurality seems to be assured. silver coir HENRY Ostiorr isnota dude, but he is a good talker just the same, and while he may omit the perfumory partof it, he will dis- charge every dut7 of the mayoralty to tao eredit of the city.— IWorld-Herald. Henry looked more like a dude than honest man in that Ketcham furni- ture tall hat.

GEORGE P. BEMIS has not gone about from ward to ward and saloon to saloon soliciting votes, but has been in Chicago working with_ his well known skill and energy to secure for Omaha two import- ant manufacturing enterprises. JANITORS come high in Omaha. On the present schedule of salaries they draw about $35,000 from the treasury of the school district. As the election will soon be over perhaps the Board of Kdu- cation will feel like cutting down these figures. PAUPERS have no moral right to vote, Mr. Mahoney,as they have not acquired a residence in the Seyenth ward and can- not meet the qualifications of voters 1 living off the taxpayers in tho poor house. TuiBoard of County Commissioners swallowed the listof election officers proposed by the mayor and couneil with- wry face. They knew how the list was made ap and it suited them.

The special deliv- ory of lotters and packages is a great success and the Postoffice department would rather extend than curtail 1t.” tor and Mrs. Manderson are exnocted ovember 15, to remain through the ap- session of congress.

Dunriy, Oct. 20.—Startling testimony was given today at the triat of Rev. Samuel Cot- ton, rector of the Carvogh orphanage, County Kildare, charged with crimioal neglect and 1l treatmont of childron in the orpuanage. Cotton has conducted tho affairs of the orphanage for mauy yours and has recoived largo sums of money by subscription for tho maintenance of the orphanage. Owing to complaints made against tho in- stitution the Society for the Protection of Children receatly made an investigation into the manner in whicti the orphanage was con- ducted. A horrible state of affairs was rc veuled. Tho agents of the Childron’s sacicty during the investization found tho chiidren in an emaciated, fi wged condition, covered with parasites, and the toes of one, it was testified to, had rotted off. Another, a girl, had been chained by the legs to a log. ‘The rooms of the orphanage were found in o filthy condition. Iu the Kitchen was found a baby six weeks old, coverod with dirty rags and dying of cold and inattention. Other cildren’ in the same apartment crouched around a small fire almost. frozen and nalf starved. All wero weak and sickly and theiv growth had been stunted by the treatment received, ‘I'ne saqitary condition of the whole estan. tishment was found to be perfectly horrible, The walls and floors were in o boastly condi- tion and some of the beds used by the un fortunate cailaren were merely old boxes aud packing cases filled with stale hay. It was also shown that ali tho children were kept in a_perpetual state of terror by Rev. Mr. Cotton. It would bo dificult to imagine a more deploravle state of things. Rev. Mr. Cotton was committed for trial. e FEAST FOK PENNSYL chools Close So Th See the Nebr Train, Rocuesten, Pa, Oct. 20.—Special Tele gram to Tk Ber.]—The exbibition train is sidetracked at its first stand in Pennsylvania, the astern terminus of the trip.
