Tom Reep finds great sport in the spectacle of the democrats baing com- pelled to filibuster, although having 140 majority in congress. They did the same thing in the Carlisle congress. It is a settlod fuct thatthe democratic party is afraid of itself. AF¥TER straining our ears for about a month we must confess that we have heard nothing from democratic buglers about a certain state by the name of In- diana. And yet four years ago we heard them blare it constantly, Why this silence? Has it disappeared? E— NOTHING can be gained excopt by wvigorous and united effort. If this city 18 to secure manufactures, rallroads and more territory, there is only one way to getit.

A New York paper publishes a com- munication from a Kansas democrat in which he frankly confesses that the ob- USION ject of fusion in that state is to promoto the interests of Grover Cleveland. He says: “If Weaver’s cloction were pos- sible such a procedure on the part of the democrats would be indefensible,but since it is not ubsolutely certain vhat Cleveland will have a majority in the electoral college thoy balieve that by endeavoring to make it more difficult, if not impossible, for Hurrison to have such a majority (thus throwing the elec- tion into tho houss of rapresentatives) they will be doing only thair duty to- ward Mr. Cleveland.” Further on this correspondent says that ‘‘tho Kansas democrats do not by this policy seek to lend any sort of favor to the wild schemes advocated by tho people’s party.” Such testimony as this is hardly needed to show that the democratic fu- sionists have no sympathy whatever with the followers of Weaver. They know that there aro some misguided men in the psople’s party who were formerly renublicans, and the plan is to win them over to the democratic party by means of this device of fusion. The republican who is caught in this trap will find that the gain is all on the side of the democrats and that he is merely aloser. What will the people’s party gain by the elsetion of Cleveland? What will any farmer or other individual voter who subscribes to the Omaha plat- form gain by democratic success? The .y has shown as plainly as pos- sible that it is opposed to the funda- mental principles of the pabple’s party. Fusion is & mere scheme to catch the unwary republicans who have gone off after Weaver in the hope that they may thereby hasten the coming of good times and full purses. It is a good plan to closely examine all schemes of fusion proposed by the democrats. They are not in politics for their health nor for the encouragement of new parties: There is nothing altruistic in the pur- poses and designs of the democracy. DESERTING DEMOCRATS. From various parts of the country come reports of desertions from the democratic vanks. This is due to the declarations of the Chicago platform re- garding the policy of protection and the strong tendency of the party in the di- rection of free trade shown in the course of its representatives incongress. Bast- ern manufacturers who have hitherto voted with the democracy say that their intevests will not permit them to 2o with the party in the position it has now taken. They did not object to tarifl reform on a busis regardful of the capital invested and the lubor employed in American industries, but such a policy as the democratic national platform pro- poses they suy would ruin them, und therefore their mfluence and vheir votes will be cast against it. The Iree trade drift of the demo- cratic party is affecting the allegiance of others who do not believe that the British system would be a good thing for the United States. A club has just been organized in New York city, con- sisting of young men who have previ- ously supported the national democratic ticket, which will subport the republi- can candidates this year. The opposi- tion to Mr, C'evéland is on the ground that he is the friend of British rather than American interests. It is stated that the democratic candi- date is not unaware of the strong and growing sentiment among former demo- crats hostilo to the present position of the party regarding protection, nnd it is thought probuble that he will make an effort in his letter of aceeptance to nllay the appreheusion which that position has created. It will be remembered that he put one or two modifying sug- gestious in his speech at the time he was notified of his nomination, and the impression is that he will amplify these in his letter and endeavor to give the taritf plank of the platform an interpre- tation designed torender it less offensive to the friends of American industries. 1t will not bo surprising if he does some- thing of this sort, but he will hardly bo able to deceive nnybody us to the resl meaning of the tariff plunk of the na- tional platform. Not only is it most clear and unequivoost in its language, but the circumstances under which it was adopted leave no doubt regarding the spivit that prompted it It is per- haps ume that the convention took more radical ground In this respect than M», Cleveland desived, but there can be no doubt that it reflected fairly the view of a large mujority of the democratic party, @ud this, it s reasonablo Lo assume, e e would control the action of Mr. Cle seland if he were elected to the presidency. In leations ace not wanting that the mocratic leiders realize that the v has been put in a position where it must ninke n wholly defensive fight, nditi against it. When %0 capable a lender as Senator Cavlisls is forced to adopt such a line of defunse s he did in the senate a few days ago, in attempting to answer the speech of Senator Aldvich, tho situation is indeed adifMecult one. As the campaign ad- vances und the position of the demo- cratic party becomes bevter understood by the masses desertions from its ranks may be too common to exeite comment. MKINLEY AT BEATRICE. The address of Governor McKinley at Beatrice, which is printed in full in this issue of THE Ber, ought to be earefully read by every voter in Nebraska. [t is a most able discussion of the American system of protection and. a convincing defense of the existing tariff law, pre- sented with thatsteaightforward candor and frankness which characterize all the utterances of Governor McKinley. With a profound faith in the wisdom of the protective policy, the author of the latest tariff moasure discusses the sub- ject upon the highest planeand from the broudest view of its relations to the development, prosperity ana welfare of the entire country. The reader will find especially inter- osting the nnalysis of the latest national platform of the demociatic party, which Governor MeKinley justly declares is o bolder recognition of free trade than any of its predecessors, The history of the adoption of the tariff plank of that platform is tamiliar to all readers of current political events. The plank re- ported by the committee on resolutions declaved that in levying customs tax- ation regard should be had for the dif- forence in the cost of labor here and labor ebroad; that in making reductions in taxes it is not proposed to injure any domestic industry: that as the govern- ment has always derived its revenue chiefly from customs it must continue to do s0; and that every change of Inw must boe regardful of the Jabor and capital in- volved. Thisplank met with prompt and vigorous hostility from the free trade element in the convontion, led by Neuil of Ohio and Watterson of Ken- tucky, and there was substituted for by u large majority, the plank which donounces protection as a fraud and a robbery and declares that policy to be in violation of the constitution, Glovernor McKinley vigorously at- tacks this remarkable enunciation of the democracy, which he suggests may have been copied from the ordinance of nullification passed sixty years ago by a general convention in South Carcolina. On the 24th day of November, 1832, that state issued an ordinance ‘‘to nullify certain acts of the congress of the United States, purporting to be laws laying duties and imposts on the impor- tation of foreign commodities.” It de- clared that the congress had exceeded ius constitutional powers in imposing high and excessive daties on the theory of *‘protection.” It will thus be seen that the democratic party of today in effect adopts the principles proclaimed by the South Carolina nullifiers in 1832, their effort to carry out which was sternly and summarily dealt with by President Jackson. With that excep- tion the constitutionality of protection was never questioned until the adoption of the democratic platform of 1892. In discussing the practical operation of the protection policy it need hardly be said that Governor McKinley is com- prehensive and thorough. and his posi- tion is amply fortified by facts of official record. Not the least interesting and valuable portion of his address is that in which he argues that no class of the people are more certainly benefited by a protective tariff than the farmers, for the reason that it makes a home demand for their products, and home consumers are always better than foreign con- sumors because they are nearer the field of production. — HIS DUTY TO THE PARTY. The candidacy of Hon. Thomas Ma- jors is a menace to reputlican success in Nebraska. His nomination would place the party on the defensive at the outset and keep it on the run to the end of the compaign. He would be weakest whore the party must secure its heaviest vote. He would not draw from the democrats or the alliance, but would even repel re- publicans who voted for him in 1890, Tt is supeifluous to reitorate why Mr. Ma- jors 18 not available. Suflice it to say that his nomination would be an extra hazardous risk in which every man on the ticket would be imperiled and even the electoral ticket would be jeop- ardized. It becomes the duty of Colonel Majors at this crisis to sacrifice his ambition for the good of the party and let the convention solect as the standard bearer of the party for 1892 a man who will be in position from the outset to wage an aggressive campaign and will reinstate the party in power and in the confidence of the people. FarMERS who were advised last year to ho'd their wheat and corn and name their own prices will remembor this year that the advice came from men Who are now conspicuous in the people’s party movement. They did not find it profituble to hold their grain, and they will find no more profit this year in taking the ndvice of these wise men as to their volitical action. The farme were told last year that by holding their grain they would receive prices about twice us high as were actually roalized. These predictions were based upon re- ports of u prospective famine in Europe. There was a short crop of wheat in Kurove and our producers were gainers by it, but not to the extent promised. This year there is again a short crop in Europe, according to recent reports, but the farmer who holds his grain in she hope of getting $1.50 or $2 per bushel for it will be doceived and disappointed. It is better for the producer to use bis own common sense than to take counsel of irresponsible prophets. Prophecy is | easy, nad for that reason a great muny people engage in the business. The | farmer who s wise will possess himsell | of ail the information possible concern- | ing the conditions waich are likely to | intend to resigu b govern the market and then use his own judgment as to elling or holding hie grain, Tur war cry of.the republicans in Kansas is “Stanf® g for Kansas!” and they point to the;way that state has been disgraced and derided in the eyes of the country by its Peffors, Simpsons, Clovers et al. in'jdjngress. That great state of intelligent, pateiotic people has good reasnn to protest.

Titi corporations had better keep their hands off the convention. Crounse may not suit them, but if they foist one of their own pets on the people they will simply elect Van Wyck. The fake factory has discovered that all the delegates from Sioux, Dawes, Sheridan, Cherry, Brown, Rock, Keya Paha and Holt counties have started for Lincotn solid for Majors for governor and Bowerman for anditor. The falsity of this assertion will be fully proven when the first bailot is taken Thursday on the hend of the ticket., Ttisensy to elaim a good many things. But when {t comes to the proof—ah, tuere's the rub Furnas county delegates to the republican state donvention are reported as ‘unin- structed and oxpresssed no proference for governor.” Ono by one Mr. Majors' “'suro thing” counties turn up *losers.” “Judwe Crouse of Omana will be a strong and worthy candidate before the republican state convention for governor,” says the Beatrice Times. *‘Ho is clean, able and has a record that will stand eritical scrutiny and be & source of stremgth to his candidacy, rather than an element of weakness.” *Itis the height of folly to nominate a banker” on the republican state ticiket ac- cording to the Keith ;County Republican. The same sentiment is ectoed from all tho agricuitural counties in the state. Lincoin will do herself proua tonignt, and Governor McKinley will be a hard man to convince if he does hot leave the cRy in tho firm beliof that Nobraska is for protection. And Omaha will cliveh the argument on F'ri- day. : Senator Paddock tiis won a victory in his own county. The Gage county nominees for the legislature are ll favoraolo to bis return to the senato.

Masked Men Take Charge of a Kansas County OMcial, KaAxsas City, Mo, Aug. 2.—A spocial from Anthony, Kan, to the Journal says: Considerable excitement has been occasioned n this county over the abduction of Amon Farwer, alliance member ot the Board of County Commissioners, and the attompted abductiou of Alexander Terrill, a republican member of ths board. Four or five masked men called Mr. Farmer out of B just before dawn, took him into a carriage and that was the last seen of him. Commis- sioner Terrill was out of town when the abductors called for him, ‘tho Board of Commissioners was to haye met to make a levy for the payment of the judgment on the old Harper county bonds, required by & mandamus issued by the su- preme court two weoks ago. The better class of Harper county’s taxpayers has ad- vised the board to make the levy, but the alliance leaders are in favor of 1guoring the mandamus and demand that the commis- sioners efuse to make the levy or resign. The cause of the abduction was doubtless to prevent the levy of the special tax. Detec- tives are at work in the matter. e New Cotton Crop.

C., Aug. 2 Tho World's fair tangle was very nearly unrayeled today, but Director General Davis tiea it up in & knot again tonight. There was a proposition offered him tonight by a conference committee of demoerats to make the Woria’s fair a present of $3,500,000, but Mr. Davis said he would not take less than £5,000,000, so matters remain in statu quo. The action of the committee caucus last night against the propesod appropriation was expeoted to huve a moral inflaence on the situation, but this expoctation was not realized. Tho deadlock was just as strong this morniug as it was last mght. ‘The house took one recess after another from 11 to 1 o'clock and then adjourned for the purposo ot giving the opposing factions an oppor- tunty for conference. A conferenco was called immediately after adjournment and committee of ten, fivo from each side, was appointed to arrangea compromise if pos- sible, The members of this committes were: For tho appropriation—Williams, Iilinois; Dur- vorow, Illinois; Follows, Now York; Riley, Pennsylvania, and Schively, Indiana. Againat the _appropriation—Bankhead, Ala- bama; McMillin, Tonunessee; McCreary, Kentucky; Culoorson, Texas, and Cum- mings of New York. Mr. Willinms pro- sented a proposition for @ compromise on balf of the amount of the appropriation, and he claims he would have eight votes in fuvor of it, but Mr, Durborow wuantad to consult the World’s fair people about the matter, so the conferenco committee adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Mr. Durborow saw Director meral Davis after tho meeting, and Mr. Davis said that he would not accept the compromise. ‘I'be real secrot of . the strength of the oppo- sition to the appropriation is the fact that Speaker Crisp is against it. Mr. Holman is, by his persistence, in a great dogreo réspon- sible, but the heaviest share of responsibilyty rests with Mr. Crisp. He could report from the committee on rules tomorrow un order which would settlo the dispute in five min- utes and check the filibustering; but Mr. Crisp is in sympathy with the filibustering element, and he has given it aid constantly, sometimes in defiance of parliamenta Inw. The indicatlons tonight are that the contest question will be postponed until December. To Suppress Anarchy. Representative Ssump of Maryland pro poses to meet the anarchist question squarely and ho has prepared an _amendment 1o tho immigrant bill now on the speaker’s table as tollows : ‘“‘Any alien, anarchist. or member of any secret society, or party or organization, tho coustitution or compact of which is_contrary to or 1n violation of any of the provisions of the constitution or laws of the United States, or any alien, who, by his expressea opinion or acts, domonstrates that he is opposed to all govornment and to the peace and good or- dor of socioty, or who excites revolt or pro- motes disorder by violence or by the cir- culation of insidious publications, shall by aue process of law 1ssued by the United Siates courts having criminal jurisdiction, arrested and tried and upon conviction shall be deported to the country from whence he came and should he after- wards be found in the limits of the United States he shsll be imprisoned for a period of not_less thaa five nor more than twenty years."

There have been very few dangerous cranks near the white house recontly. A fow wecks ago one ciimbed over the fence surrounding the private grounds of the white house and sur- prised the president as he was talking with Senator Hiscock on the broadlanding of the southern portico of the mansion. The presi- dent asked him to step into the blue room and then rang the bell connecting with the servants’ quarters. An usher came and husuled the man into the street. He did not :no:v that he had been speaking to the presi- ont. Republican Campaign Literature. Senator Aldrich’s specch on the tariff is to be ono of the principal documents used in the coming campaign. It was one of the strongest reviews of tne tariff quostion ever made.

The senator placed uot only himselt but his party in & very awkward Y"’l""" by tho views he expressed. His own party organs have been so violent in their attacks on him that Mr. Pulmor today “‘explained” his J\o:lllon. that is, ha maae another speech modifying his former expressions in a very docided way. He smd that what he meant in his former spocch was that the strikers ‘‘had a right to be thore' when the riot with the Pinkertons occurred. What Mr, Palmer said beforo was that tho workmen had a right to sboot the Plnker- tons.

Polities in Alabama, The domucrats were crowing today over the result in Alabama. Representative Tom Watson of Georgia, though, said that the de- feat of Kolb was not significant; that he was not a third party candidate; that the third party leaders and third party organ pub- lishod here opposed him because they did not favor any but straicht-out third party candidates and that there was no such cau- digate in the fleld. This fall, he said, it was the purpose of the third party to run nohe but straight-out trd party candioates for congress who would repudiate the old par- ties. They intended to do this wherever they nominated cundidates for congress.
