Tie machine may pack caucuses and manipulate primaries but the machine cannot control elections. Tiis sandbaggiog of ex-Inspector Wilson or anyone else simply because he has done his duty is carrying things several staps too far. BRrus is good cnough for the mayor and ought to bo good enough for the city council to rest their labored and virtuous feot upon. OMATA is to have a lucrosse club and thoso athletes who escape assassina tion at foot ball may now expect to bite the dust by another route. How senseless and foolish it would bo for the United States to declare in favor of free trade this same year when Eng- land, the great free trade nation, is get- ting readv to repudiate it. EvVICTIONS have begun again in Ire- land, which is a pointer to Mr. Glad- stone to make a quick movement and checkmate the men who are very evi- dently attempting to oust him. E1guT and four yoars ago the democ- racy presonted kangaroo tickets, but that criticism cannot be made this year. ‘Phis is not because the head has grown larger, but because the tail han grown smalle; IF DAVE Mercer and his county committee are to remain in charge of the campaign in Douglus county until the 15th of October they ought to hustle and get to work on naturalization and registration THE democratic party has been swal- lowed by the populists in Colorado, Nevada, North Dakota and Kansas. On or about the 8th of November the dem- ocratic Jonah ipside of the populist whale Will be dumped ashore. \ A GREAT many people in and out of Omaha still labor under the misappre- hension that Dave Mercer is identical with Dr. S.

MAYOR NOONAN of St. Louis was as- saulted by an unremembered political frir= - .ho other day and thoroughly Sullivanized. But, being a democratic mayor elected by republican votes, he is probuhly used to that sort of thing. ‘Wr Are pained to observe that Tau- beneck has broken loose again with the greatest sensation on earth, the partic- ulars to be made known in a few duys, Phe wild-eyed man from Illinois still labors under the delusion that his periodic, terrible revelations have not been discounted before they appear in priot. CoME, Grover, hurry up that letter of acceptance. Four years ago Harrison followed you in two days. Now you are over two weeks behind, and these sim- plo people of the west aro beginuing to fear that your efforts at straddling tho tariff, silver and Tammany have crip- pled you so that you are physically un- able to write, NEBRASKA made a proud showing in the parade of Grand Army veterans in Washington, having nearly 1,000 men in line. With a larger percevtageof veterans of the war thau any other state in the union, the aggregate number being 10,000, this stata takes front rank in all matters pertaining to Grand Army interests. — Now the Western Traffic association is ready to join the Transcontinental as- sociation in dissolution. For Omaha to remuin passive at ths critical time is to confess that we are so under the control of the railways that we are willing to .allow them to dictate their own terms and vates. Lot our shippers and busi- ness men grab a root at once. —— Tue Des Moines Leader has asserted that the republican party of lowa is at. tempting u fusion with the people’s party of that state. The republican committee is not composed of fools and heuce this report is a simon pure fabri cation. The people’s party of lowa, as proven by the representatives sent to the Omaha convention, is composed of groenbackers and democrats, The only recruits of any hportance or auantity come from the latter class, as can be dewmonstruted to anyone’s satisfaction who inquires into the matter. lowa re- publicans are really aided rather than harwmed by the existence of that party, a fact which Harrison’s plurality in that state will clearly prove WORRYING ABOUT OMAHA. Omaha never concerns herself about the domestic or political affairs of Lan- coln, Omaha papers never meddle with the strictly local political controversies of Lincoln or Lancaster county. Not so with the Lincoln papers, Nothing hap- pens in Omaha that does not furnish food for slanderous and malicious com ment or exaggeration and downright misrepresentation. One of the Lincoln papers, for instance, goes out of its way | to discuss the canvass of Judge Scott, and asserts that he was elected last fall to the bench in spite of the violent op- position of THE BEE, when in fact he owed his election o the uctive support of THE B The Lincoln paper, founded with the mouey contributed by public plunderers who scandalized the early history of this state, ventures to lecture Omaha about her duties in the congressional campaign and extols Dave Mercer as a shining example for young men who start from hymble beginnings and gain enviable prominence in the higher walks of life,. Thisis in aceord with the eternal fitness of things. The standard of political morals at Lincoln has never risen above the capper and oil-room ol pigeon. The idea that the rising generation of young men in Nebraska should emulate the example of con ecienceless politicians who do ot seruple to poison the well-springs of our free institutions by helping to debauch the representatives of the people coula only emanate from men steeped in c ruption. It is to be hoped for the good of Nobraska that few young men will prostitute their talents to such baso ends. Omaha will searcely feel grateful for the compliments bestowed upon her pot- house politicians by Lincoln papers, whose good will toward Omaha has yet to he oxhibited. Our kind friends at the state capital better not worry too much her about Omaha or candidates for congress. SPRINGER'S RECKLESS TALK. Congressman Springer, chairman of the house committec on we and means, loing his best to diseredit the dewmocratic party with the intelligent people of the country. ilolding, us ho does, a very responsible position among the party leaders, his utterances are given an importance they would not otherwise possess, and when he makes such reckless statements as he did at Detroit ashort time ago and at Mat- toon, 11l., on Tuesday, they cannot but prove damaging witn fair-minded men 1o the party he reprosents. Mr. Springer talked about the manu- facture of tin plate at Mattoon, and he had the effrontery, in the fece of indis- putable facts, to declare that the bus ness of making tin plate could never be successfully carried on in the United ates. Other democrats and demo- cratic organs have insisted that the re- ported production of tin plate in this country was exaggerated and that no euch progress had been made as was claimed, but it remained for Mr Springer to assort that the industry is already a failure here and that there is n0 possibility of making ita success, it would be very comforting to the scores of Welsh manufacturers who have closed their works and to the thousands of Welsh workmen who ave idle if they could accept as authoritative the opin- ion of Mr. Springer, but they will hardly be disposed to do so. They know that tin plate is being made in the United States, and as practical men they be- lieve that the business can and will be successfully carried on here if the tariff that is necessary to protect and foster it is maintained. The Welsh workmen who are leaving their native land to come to this country for employment do not have any doubt of the ability of the American people to establish thisindus- try on a firm foundation and to expand it until it is capable of meeting the de- mand of the home market. The Eng- lish papers that deplore the decline of the tin plate industry in Wales do not express any doubt that the business ~an be carried on successfully here, though they eagerly hope that the democrats will win this year and taxe off the tariff that is responsible for the present con- dition of the Welsh tin plate industry In this direction Mr. Springler offers them all the encouragement ho can. He assures the foreign manufacturers of tin plate that if the democratic party is clothed with the power of legislation at the coming election it will **speedily put an end to the existing order of things” by either restoring the duty on tin plate to where it was before the passage of tho McKinley bill or eise removing it en- tirely. Undoubtedly the democratic party would take no half way step, but would throw open the American market, by far the greatest in the world, to the free admission of Welsh made tin plate. It would without hesitation sweep out of oxistence the plants that have been started in this country, confiscate the capital invested in them, and throw out of employment the workmen who uro engaged in the industry, in order that foreign manufacturers might enjoy un- restricted this great market and exact what they pleased from the American consumer. The position of Mr, Springer in this matter is consistent with the attitude of the democratic party ever since the r publican policy of protection was first adopted, thirty years ago. Thut party has antagonized the efforts to build up overy industry we have, just as it is now doing toward tin plate, It was de- feated in its pust endeavors to check the industrial development of the country and it will be defeated now. THE EVEN PACE WILL WIN, A sentiment that is by no means un- common in Nebraska and other states of the west, und upon which new political enterprises like that of the people’s party must always depend, is thus re- ferved o by an able financial writer in the New York Sun: % The belief is current, and gives rise to much despoudent talk abor business, that unless speculation is rife the demand for tubor and for goods in excess of the supply, and tbe liveliest activity is displayed in all departments of industry, tue country Is kolug down hill and will soon' land every- body in ruin. It migot as well ve said thav @ mau is in good bealth daly when his bluod is al fever beat, his nerves struug up to the highest pite and be sleeps but four hours out of the tweuty-four, There is sure to be 'HE a reaction 10 his case which will leave him worse off than bis neighbor whose blood re mains at its normal temperature, who takes | life easily, and who sleeps his full eight hours and more, and 8o there is in the case of n country when it indules in a period of wild speculation, as Great Britain la‘ely aid in Argentine investments, This is in refreshing contrast to the position mssumed by the prophets of cnlamity who ave in favor of adopting radical measuares to force the business of the country from its present oven pace to a headlong gallop. If they could carry out their plans the blood that now pulses moderately through the arteries of trade would be at fever heat directly, and the process of paying off mortgages and accumulating fortunes would be so | rapid that everybody’s head would swim. It would not be long, however, before the inexorable law of compensation would make itself felt; the reaction would come and disaster would be the ultimate out- come of the att2mpt to force prosperity. The steady, even pace is bost. A STRIKING PARALLEL. The St. Lonis (Jlobe-Democrat is the leading republican paper of Missouri and is recognized as one of the great re- publican dailies of America. The re- cent attempts of the bummer and boodle element of St. Louis to force upon the party candidates that had a few years ago sold the party out and handed tho city government of St. Louis over to the democrats provoke the following com- ment: Edward A, Noonan was not. elected mayor of St. Louis by damocratic votes. Ho was the democratic candida‘e, but his election was brought about by a gross betraval of trust onthe partof mon in charge of the meachiuery of the republican party. Every one of these men, with money collected from the [democratic] brewers'in their pockets, worked for Noouan's election. Tho Glob Demoerat exposed this infamy at the timo of its oceurrence, and now, forsooth, because we nsist that none of these traitors shall be honored again with republican nominations we are told that the Globe-Democrat is de- sertiag the party. If to punish the treaoh- ery of some of the self-styled leaders of local republicanism in the past eight years is to desert tho party, the Glohe-Democat will be proud to seo itself enrolled on tho list of deserters, Let us now transpose this pointed ve- buke to hoodlerism: “Richard C. Cushing was not elected mayor of Omaha by democratic votes. He was the democratic candidate, but his election was brought about by a gross beteayal of trust on the part of men in charge of the machinery of the republican party. Tvery one of these men, with the money contributed to the campaign fund by George W. Lininger and his associates on the republican ticket and the boodle from the demo- cratic backers of Cushing, worked for Cushing’s election. Tie Bee exposed this infamy at the time of its occurrence and now, forsooth, because we insist that the chairman of the committee who connived with and shared the plunder with these traitors shall not be honored by republicans with a seat in congress, we are told that THE BEE is deserting the party.” — THE DEMAND FOR MORE®CURRENCY, The populist leaders continue to play upon the eredulity of their adheronts by telling them that the great need of the country 15 move currency. The remedy for all financial and business ills, ac- cording to vhe exponentsof the new party, is to issue paper money to an al- most unlimited extent and make it a legal tender for everything. *All who desire an adequate increase of cur- rency,” exclaim the presidential candi- dates of the populists in their address to the people, *'should at once regard it as a conscientious duty to align themselves under the bunner of this great industrial and fraternal movement,” and this ap- peal is being everywhere made by the candidates of vhe new party. There is nothing that the average in- dividual is so strongly influenced by as the promise of more money, and when the glib-tongued advocates of inflation picture to him the benefits and bless- ings he would derive from an unre- stricted supply of currency he is apt to accept it all with unquestioning faith, especially if he be largely a debtor. He does not stop to reflect that however great the volume of money, he can obtain what he requires only by labor or the products of labor, nor does it occur to the average individual that if by reason of an inflated currency he is enabled to got more of 1t for his duy’s labor or a given amount of products he must also give more for what he has to buy. In a word, he does not look into the effects of currency inflation except so far as it holds out the promise of giving him more money, and it is to be observed that the advocates of an *adequate in- crease of currency’” do not enlighten their followers as 1o the inevitable con- sequences of inflation. There has been no time in the past ten years whon there was less reason or excuse for demanding an increase of tho currency, beyond what is taking place under existing law, than there is ut pres- ent. Lverywhere in the country there is an abundance of mouney for legitimate business and to be obtained on satisfac- tory security at rates of interest lower than ever before. In the castern finan- cial centers money is loaned at4 and 5 per cent, and there is a plentiful supply. There is no lack of money heve in Ne- braska or elsewhere in the northwest. The banks of Omaha are holding mill- ions which they would ve glad to loan on acceptable security, Throughout the prosperous portions of the state the bunks are well supplied with money, which can be had for from 1to2 per cent less interest than & yoar ago. The plunation is tobe found in the greater prosperity of the farmers, many of whom do not now find it necessary to borrow and are either depositors or aro paying their obligations with money that finds its way into the banks. The populist demand for an increase of the currency to an extent which the leaders of that party profess to regard as adequate is wholly indefensible. The inevitable effect would be to depreciate the purchasing power of the money thut remained in circulation, and in the end nobody would be benefited but specula- tors. The present circulation is over $1,500,000,000, or nearly $25 per capita, and it is being increased as rapidly as the growth of population and Lusiness requires, or as can be dono with safety. Even as it is, it is the opinion of able OMAHA DAILY BEE HURSDAY financiors that the expansion of the cure rency now goifflf dn eatinot be continued much longer withput incurring the dan- ger of retiving gold and sonding it to & premium, Thi gfpulist leadersare m | leading their qebherents on this que tion, und in ng other respect are the prineiples and Joihands of that party so dangerous to theygeneral weifare. The adoption of thd carrency policy of the people’s party sould inaugurate an era of disaster to thes matorial interests of the nation unprodedented inour history. —_— IT 15 gratifying to know that the charges of irregularities in the manage- ment of the state hospital for the insane at Hastings have been shown to be with- out foundation. No public institutions are oftener subjected to such charges than asylums for the insane, the nccusa- tiong usually proceeding from dis charged inmates with lively imagina- tions. In this case the charges came from n discharged employe, and the re- sult of the investigation shows that they were groundless, No kind of public in- stitutions need more careful, judicious and humane management than hospitals for the insane, and it is agreeablo to learn that the Hastings asylum is con- ducted in o manner that cannot exposo it to just criticism, THERE seems to be a good prospect that the Western Art association of Omaha will soon be incorporated and fairly started on a cnveer of prosperity and usefulness, The capital stock is to be $25,000, divided into 1,000 shares, and as over 200 shures were taken at the meeting Tuesday nignt it looks as if the whole number would bo eusily disposed of. If successfully carried out the plans will result in the building up of an insti- tution that will reflect great credit upon this city. THE report of the health inspector in ard to filthy Jaivies on Cut-off island suggests the need of systematic milk in- spection in this city. Without this precaution there can be no security for public health, as it is weil known that impure milk is always dangerous. Other diseases besides cholera are often bred at the sources of the milk supply, and if the dealers in this important article are left to themselves some of them will be sure to violate the laws of health. THE latest Nebraska weather crop bulletin says thut a greatly increased aereage of fall wheat is being sown in this state. This is a resuit of excellent crops of this important cereal in various parts of the state this year and indicates that a belief in the advantages of d versified farming 18 becoming general among those who have hitherto de- vended ulmost entirely upon corn. Now that Dave Mercer has become a candidate for congress the question i does he propose torhold on Lo the chair manship of the county committee and trade away all the candidates on the state and legislative tickets? In other words, ig the republican national, state and county ticket to be sacrificed to the vaulting ambition of Dave Mercer? [ THERE are almost ns many loose planks in Omaha sidewalks as there are in the national democratic platform. “Maine Went sent.” Munneapolis Tribune. There will be one lone democrat in the Maine senate and the house will stana 109 republicans to 42 democrats. Maine is still bent in the right direction. —_— Protection and the Home, San Francisco Chronicle. In Philadelphia 180,000 workingmen own their own homes. These homes were chiefly built from the savings of wages earned in protected industries, for Philadelphia is the greatest manufucturing city in the United States. How many English factory workers over saved enough money to buy & home? e A Nut for Free Traders. New York Advertiser, By tho way, if it bo true that all tho tin plate we use and all that is exhibited at the “openings’’ of new mills, and all that is being ‘dipped”’ by Goveruor McKinley 1s imported, how does 1t come that the tin plate mills in Wales, which have always supplied us, are going out of the business, closing up cutirely or moving over heref e What Protection Does, James G. Blaine, Protection has proved a distributor of great sums of mouey; not an agency for wwmassing it in the handsof a few. The records of our savings vanks and building associations cat bo appealed to in support of this statement, ‘Tho beuefit of protection goes first and last to the men who earn their bread in the sweat of their faces, The aus- picious and momentous result 1 that nover before in the history of the world has com- fort been eujoyed, education acquired, and independencs secured by so large a propor- tion of the total population as in the United States of America. —_— Towa’s Calam Condemned, Chicago Inter Ocean. Governor Boies, in his opening speach at Carroll, Ia., reiterated his famous asser- tion that the farmers of his state have been for a number of years raising corn at a logs of 67 oents per acre, *'to say notbing of in- terest on the value of the land.” But State Auditor Lyons gives some facts and figures which show that, despite theiralleged losses, the farmers of lowa aro not allogether pen: niless. Ho finds from the reports of stute and national banks that their total deposits amount to $73,580,314; and these figures ao not include the deposits in private banks and other fiusuciak imstitutions, which would swell the aggregat over §100,000,000, At least 75 per cent of*these deposits, the avai- tor belioves, belongs to tho farmers and Iaboring men, as the merchants and other business men are not,heavy depositors, The evident prosperity of the people of that state does not exactly comport with the governor's calamity talk. ~And the fact that bis excel lepey still declinesmly offers to purchase his manorial possessivps klso puts the stamp of falsity upon his ridiculous statement, - CLONEZHE G.

HARRISON MUCH BETTER Her Journey from Loon Lake Accomplished Without Trouble. SITUATION IN POLITICAL INDIANA Ex jovernor Porter fhiaks the Republican Prospects Are Better Than Four Years Agonndis Prepared for Work, 513 FOURTEENTH STRERT, Wasnixaroy, D, C., Sept. 91, here was & sigh which indicated relief from suspense and apprehension when it be- came known throughout the city this morn- ing that Mrs. Harrison had returned to Washington from Loon Lake, was safely in the white house again and had sustained no barm from the long journoy. Mrs, Harri- son's condition is a hittle improved since she left Loon Lake, but her improvement may be due to contentment of mind. She feels botter contented here than she did so far nway from familiar scenes ana awong strange faces. Tho president, who has kept » faithful and loving vigil at the vedside of the pationy sufferer for more than a month, will not take part in the exercises incident to the encamp- ment. Ho is given up wholly to Mrs. Har- rison and feels ill at ease when away from her even for a moment. He has given in- structions not to ndmit any callers to him, except they come upou the most important public business, It was hoped by the vetorans and other visitors that Mrs. Harrison’s condition would warrant the president in leaving her and cowmmingling with the ‘boys’ who marched with him to the front, but thoy are somewhat content under. the circumstances 10, g0 atvay without having soen or heard him. The president has no plans for the future and cau make none under the circumstances. ‘Thio termination of Mrs. Harrison’s illness is beyoud the power of human ken. But it is a consolation to her friends that she is hero again, 1f for uo other reason because they are cuabled to learu more frequently and di- rectly of her, Wasnivarox Bureav or Tne Ber, } ns. overnor Albert G. Porter, who has resigned from the wmission to ltaly, loft Washington this afternoon for his b Indianapolis. Just before he ueparted he sent a noto to the president expressing deep sympathy and & hopo that Mrs Harrison might rocover. This morning Mr. Porter had a long talk with Governor Chase upon the political outlook in Indiana and was gratificd to loarn that tho rapublican chances wero good, even be ter in the opinion of the govornor than th were for the state at this stago of the cam- paign four years ago. Mr. Portar said that it was hus purpose 10 enter upon a thorough campaign of Indiana under. the direction of the state central commttes and that ho wouid devote himselt especially to the farmers who are his triends, who undorstand him and whom ho understands. He believes that the farmers would this year, above all other vears, stand by the republican party, which has done so much for them and which has entered upon an era of protection of farmers’ wterests and devotion to an exteusion of their markets. It was stated inIndiana circles that ex- Governor Porter is confident the republicuns cau this yeur again coutrol the Indiana legis- lature; that there is more upon which to appeal’ to tho fair-minded voters now than wnere hns been for many years. He will likely, therefore, look espocially after the in- tereats of the legisiative campaign. Should the republicans succeed 1n securing control of the legislaturo it would be natural that the namo of Aluart G, Porter should bo cou- sidered o connection with United States senator, Turpie’s successorship.

SIGMA’ i EXPOUNDED ALLIANCE IDEAS, V. 0. Strickler Discusses the Populists’ Views Betore the Live Issue Club. The Live Issue club began its fall and winter series of fortnightly meotings last evening at the Lininger gallory. President W. I, Baxter mado a few felicitous remarks about the work doue by the clubin tne past threo years and thougit uhe outlook for the new year brilliant with promise. Andthen Mr. V. O. Striciler, the alliance candidate of the people’s party for licutenant governor directed the thouglits of the gentlamen pros- ent Loward the principles of the party of which hLe is so stroug an exponent. In the past vears all the ologies aud isms have had an aiving at the hands of the members of the club und their invited friends, and it soemed especially jn keeping with tie policy of tho club that the principals of the ailinuce sbould have a hearing at the hands of one uf its friends. The speaker stated by way of introduction that he was not presenl to attack the party afliliations of auy of the gentlemen present, but would simply set forth the faith that was in the people's party aud rapidly trace the history of the movement which occupies 50 Iuch tne attention of the thinkers of Amorica today. With interjections aud sweet cajolin ‘dear brethiven,” “my friends," -‘uear rades,” “'men 0f the republic,” “*citizens of America,” and the like campaigning terms, be presented an ideal picture of the republic under the veneficent sway of the alliance. He said thut the: platform of the people’s party could be readily stated in three planks, the coinage question, transportation, which means the government control of railroads, and the essumption by the government of the railroad lands granted railroads in the years past and allowng theso lands to bo assumed by the citizens of the country. Although attractively vresented, there was hittle in Mr. Strickler's resume of the prin- ciples ol tho people’s party which has not been heard from every calamity howler and populist in the countrv. A clever talker, fresh from the hustings, the speaker was quite able to interest his Learers for an hour, aud the speech would make a good campaign document for the alliance party. After ashort recess the question was dis- cussed by a number of the members, some of Mr. Stricklor’s theories being guite ex- ploded, especially his assertions rogarding the coinage of silver.
