Bworn to before me and subseribed_ in my pres ‘ence this Sth dny of October, 1892, N.P. FEIL, {Seal) Notary Public —"Nl‘ AsKA on Wheels” has reached Ohio and the Buckeyes are in open- mouthed wonder at the great display made by this cal umniated state. THE large increase of business ay tho Omaha postoflice is a healthy sign, in- dicating as it plainly does that the gen- eral busivess hfo of the community is active. ALLEN “and eightecn others” were not in it, so to speak, when it eamo to filling the vacancy on the con- gressional ticket of the people’s party in this district. THERE can be no complaint about the amount of building being done and pro- jeeted here. The outlook for next year 35 very fattering, whiloe tho record of tho past year has not been unsatisface tory. Tie Des Moines Leador dramatically shouts **A vote for Weaver is a voto for Harrison.” Hoear that, ve democratic fusionists of Nebraska, heed it and escapn that awful fate by voting for St. Cleveland Y s, thedemocratic par! of the poor man and ii he continues to wote that ticket he will never be an thing but a poor man,” says Teronce V. Powderly in one of his lucid and sen- sible moments. NEW Jursey has been carvied by the democrats for many years, but theve are abundant evidences for the belief that this state during the past four years has grown too large for even Girover Cleve- land’s vest pocket. v is the party OMAIA'S cont-of-nrms has become a pormanext fixture at the ecity hall. Tt §e difficult fo understand how we have struggled along 80 many years without ncoat-of-arms. Now this city ought to be proud and happy THE reason the silver dollar of today which contains only 70 cents worth of silver is worth $1 is because the gov- ernment will pay $1 for all such dol- lars coined under the sensible limita- tlous of tho present silver luw. Tur late lamented legislature did not reduce the rate of interest as its mem- bers swore they would do. And the reason they did not do so 18 known too well 1o all those acquainted with the aisgraceful scenes that occurred the last night of the session, HE members of the people’s party of Nebraska, especially their present candidato for governor, were opposed to a special session of the legislature to pass a genuine low rate freight bill. Thoy did not want a good share of their political stocic in trade taken away from them. A SOME bourboa newspapers and stump- ers have discovered that only convicts aro omployed in making pearl buttons in America. This will bo sad nows to the friends of those well paid men, enguged in making pearl buttons in this city, who have never suspected that they wore stripes, ONE reason why W. not to be re-elected this year is that he has not represented his district. He has made **brilliant” free trade speecbes and that has been the extent of his *‘ser- wvices.” Inn democratic house he has succeeded in passing no bill for the in- terosts of his disteict and his votes on the World’s fair and Russian velief bills have belittled and disgraced this state. J. Bryan ought COUNCILMAN BLSASSER'S position with regard to the proposed settlement of the union depot question is eminently correct. ‘There should bo no hasty action 0a the part of the couneil. There are vas' luterests involved in this con- troversy and tho future of Omaha is staked on the issuo.. A fow duys’ deo- lay will cut no figure. The council should deliberate over every point and discuss every line in the compact before it commits the eity to 1its conditions, Such deliboration can only be carried on in a special session called exclusively for this purpose ——— Tie deninl from the Indian oftice at Washington of the report that the In- diars at Pive Ridge are again showing signs of becoming restive, is not conclu- sive proof that the situation requires no attention. The fact that ghost-dancing 1y being indulged in, and that the com- fug of the expocted messiah is set down for next spring may have some signifi- eance. Experience has shown that pre- vention is better than cure in desling with refractory red men, and they should be restralned with firmness and discres tlon. Nobody wants to seo n repetition of the Ploo Ridge troubles of 1500, | Ves pealize e L e DAILY BEE| THE CAMPAIGN IV NERRASKA The political eampaign fn this stato is nssuming grenter activity, All par- that in the poriod of less ks before the day of elec- of hard 'he campaign e quiet than in than fou tion there and earn here has not been " we nust be a groat deal work done. m most other states, but o general awake oning is taking place, und the next three weeks will doubtiess witness o notable development of poiitical interest throughout the country. The nspect of the situation in this state is unquestionably favorable to the republicans, There is evidonce on every hand that the populists are stead- ily losing strength. They are not hav ing the large und enthusinstic meetings which marked the opening of the paign, and the intelligent discussion of their principles is deawing away from them many thoughtful men who had im- pulsively adopted the iden that the new political movement might have practical results for the general good. What hundreds of such men hav learned from a fair and candid consider ation of the cardinal principles the neople’s party is that they tially unsound and impeacticable, and that their adoption as a policy o gov- ernment would fnevitably oventuate in a far worse condition of alfaivs than is ained of. It is only necessary to fairly and fully dissect such expedi- onts ag the subtreasury scheme and the fiat currency proposal to discover that they must prove worthless as n means of relief to any interest and contain only ©eam- is some of o ossen- now coiny the promise of ultimate disaster and ruin toall legitimate interests, Another influence that is operating to decresse the populist strength 1s the well-founded feeling that the success of that party would be toa very sorious inimical to the and extent progress prosperity of Nebraska. v certainly could not by any possibility promoto these, and il it had any effect it would be a damaging one. Kvery practi man understands what the consequences were of the purtial success of the ponu- list movement two years ago, and it is rensonable to apprebend far serious results should that movement be entirely successful in the election of this year., Nobraska has grown in de- spito of this drawback, and the promiso move of the future scems bright, but con- tinued p ss depends v greatly upon whether the affairs of the state are to be entrusted to the management of capable and conservative men, or put in control of self-secking poli- ticians, who are ready to go to any ex trome.in o-der to serve their personal ambition. The populist leaders in No- braska do not present such a claim to confidence in th ability and worth as warrants committing to their care the administration of the affairs of this great state. he manifest hopelessness of the populist cause as a national movement is another reason for desertions from it. It is scen to be practically dead in the south, where it hud expecied to capture the electoral votes of several states, and former vepublicans who gave their ad- hesion to the new movement ave not dis- posed to be m de catspaws of the demo- cratic party. While, however, the conditions in Ne- praska appear to be favornble to repub- lican suc thero must be no aba ment of zeal and earnest work on the part of republicins. The fight during the remaining days of the campaign must be carried on vigorously all along the line, to the end that no point shall be neglected and no ad vantage lost. THE TELKGRAPH DECISION., The decision of Justice Brewer in the ense of the United States vs Western Union Telegraph and Union Pacific Telegraph companies is one of the most important decroes that has ever ema- nated from the federal cour The charter of the Union Pacitic rail- way company expressly requives that corporation to operate a system of tele- craph botween Omaha and Ogden for the benefit of the public as well as for the railroad train service. That por tion of the charter has been ignored or only partially complied with, The Union Pacific railway telegraph has been practically turned over to the Western Union company, with which it was expected to compete. Justice Krewer has issued a decroe requiring the Union Pacific railvoad company to divorce itself from the Westorn Union and ovnvrate its lines in conformity with the plain letter of the statutes, As might have been expectad, both of the defondants have taken an appeal to the United States suprems court, That means & contiruance of the existing ar- rangement for a few yoars longer, and 80 long as Jay Gould controls both the Westera Union telegraph and the Union Pacific railroad the edict o dissolve the illegal partnership will be a dead letter, Should the government or the first mort- guge bondholders foreclose on the Unton Pacifie, Jay Gould will very cheerfully comply with the order of the court and keep the Western Union out of reach of the United States marshuls, HONQRING DISCOVERER. he Columbian anniversary celebra- tion in New York city has been of the THE most impressive and imposing char- acter, surpassing in pomp and circum- stance, as well as in patriotic forvor and sontimental significance, any public demonstration that has been seen in this country in many years. The mo- tropolis of the new world was, very ap- proprintely, the head and front of the celebration of the day, and its demon- stration dwarfed all others, but other cities were not lacking in patriotic en- thusiasm nor in appreciation of the great services of the immortal dis- coverer. In Omaha the day was fi'tingly observed by the Catholics, having been specially set apart by that church as a suitable occasion for paying honors to one of her most illustrious sons, who first planted the symbol of her faith upon the new continent. The parade of the parochial school ckildren through our strects, decked out in the gay colors of the country’s flag and bearing streaming banuers aloft, was very im- pressive and must have stirred the en- thusiasm and pride of every good citizen who witnessed it, The educational 1nfluence of these Columbian fetes cannot fail to be good, and it is certain that they will instill TR 0 TRV, 170t A Y5 T { patriotic lessons into the minds of the | in oper vonng as woll as stimul historieal anott { enthusiasm on partof the children of Omah day of next weolk, tho Columbian celebration will take place in the public n knowledge.

The joint debate between Judge Fieid, republican candidate for congress in tho Fivst aisteict, and Congressman Bryan, | has ended. The discussion of the is of the campnign by these gentlemen has been Leard by most of the peaple of th distriet, and it is probable that very few sues of the voters have not made up their minds ns to whom they wiil support. ing the comparative merits of the debaters it is ot wry to ex- r0s8 press an opinion, ¢body concedes to Mr. Bryan n good order of ability in this direction and candid opinion credits Judge Pield with having sus- tained his cause admivably, Something may properly be said, however, regard- ing what the two men represent as d termining which one has tho better claim to represent w Nebraska cons stituency in congress, Unquestionably a majority of tho voters of the Pirst district believe in tho American system of protection, in tho policy of recirocity and in a sound cu rency. It is sufo to say t oniy a very meagre minority of them accept the democratie doctrine that protection unconstitutional or believe that 1t would be wiso to de to tho democratic demand for the restoration of state bank curvency, A many of them may belicve that the present taviff law i not perfect and that it might be changed in rospects with benefit to all interests, but this is not the question. The democratic party does not. stop with assailing the McKinley law. 1t declares any ana all protection to be unconstitutional. That party denounce reciprocity as a sham and a humbug and is virtually pledged to destroy that policy if given the opportumtby. 1t is | in favor of o paper cucrency issued by the states, which could not be made a lecdl tender and would inevivably resuit in loss to producers and wage earuors of the country. Me, Bryan is in full sympathy with his party in regard toall these quastions. He isa pronounced and unconditional free trade His course in congress abundantly shows this, and his public utterances leave no doubt that had he the power he would destroy protection root and branch. There is nowhere in the country to-day, not excepting the agents of foreign importers, a more is gres some earnest enemy of Amecican industries than William J. Bryan, the democratic for congress in the Iirst t of this state. [n this he misrep- resents the people of Nebra as he also does in his advocacy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and in his adhesion to the party demand for the restoration of a wild-cat currency. The producers of this state, who constitute a large majority of its people, do not want protection destroyed, do not want reci procity abandoned, and do not want a debased or depreciated currency. Mr. Bryan is the advoeate of all these, and therefore it would be a reflection upon the intelligence and the honesty of the people of Nebraska and an injury to the state to re-clect hin to congress. Judge Iield repvesents the vital principles of the vepublican party. He believes in protecting American industries and American iabor, and in maintaining a sound and statle currency—policies as essentinl to the prosperity of Nebraska as to that of any other state. TRADE S1iLL STRONG, The head of a Philadelphia mercan- tile house thit has been in existence for more than sixty yeavs is quoted as say- ing that in that Tong period there never huve been but two years when business hus been larger or more profitable than now. The reports from all manufactur- ing centers in the east show that there is unusual aclivity in the textile indus- tries, the manufacturers being unable to keep up with their or notwithstand- mg that they are working overtime, Boston reports an increase of 15 per cent over last year in shipments of boots and shoes, and jobbers in merchandise all over tho country agree in saying that trade is uncommonly good. Cotton is advancing a little and the advance is needed among the growers. Thoy ave better off, however, than they antici- pated a few wecks ago and a cheerful and contented feeling is beginning to be apparent in the south. The cotton crop will fuil short of an average yield but an improvement in prices may make up in a groat measure for that. 1t seems to bo taken for granted every- where that every element of doubt in the western crop outlook, upon which the eyes of the world have been turned for nlong time past, is now removed. Fastern trade authorities in speaking of the business situation predicate all their statements upon the fact that the erops of the courtry are good and that the west has surpassed the expectations of a month ago, 1here ms to be a dispo sition to discredit the stories of a serious crop shortage in Furope, though it is gener believed that Europe will have considerably less than an average geain yield. — Tue efforts to introduce corn as food for the people in Germany have been moderately successful and the promise of a steadily enlarging demand from this source seoms very encouraging. A second mill for grinding corn meal will be put in operation in Hamburg this month and will use only American corn, It is also announced that a large bakery will soon be opened in Berlin, where nothing will be produced but what is madoe of corn. Colonel Murphy, the agentof the Agricultural department, writes that he expects to place corn in every part of the country and will begin by giving away samples of the meal. 1t lxs an iotaresting fact that the mill now T L e D TG £ THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: womipormro e on in Hambyga has been una- to fill though working ytand dn wort of & govern- nt 10 be issued, will be highly favorabie® o corn as human food and cannot fail to largoly extend With this ] gby the Germans | fr accoptance by n countries ble orders, The commission, 8o " its use nmong the pesple. cerenl widely adop it will not waitl the peopie of other 13 cheekiest that has been thiag done in loeal polities this senson is tho attempt to run Charley Insk izens’ candidate for ‘the p as a cit council in tho Seventh ward.

The IN NEGOTIATING “a sottlement Dbe- tween the ecity and the Union Pacific reilrond the mayor and council should bear in mind that the city eannot safely surrender the title deeds to the depot grounds before the depot has bheen com- pleted. If the deeds once pass of the hands of thoe mayor the city will lave no redvess, oven it the company should the construction of tho depot indefinitely or make changes in its plans that would cheapen the build- ing and veduce its capacity. The only safe courseis to withhold the title deeds until the depot is finished or to place them in escrow. The experience Omaha has had with railrond corporations does not inspire confidenco in th ances, out delay perforus T APPEARS that soma of the people who have seen the exhibit of Nebraska products now on its way east cannot ro- sist the temptation to start directly tor a visit to this state. Ticketagents along the route say that the sule of tickets for Nebraska has greatly increased since the exhibition train visited thoir towns. Immediante results of this kind were not anticipated, for the results of last year advertising exhibit were not apparent until the present year.hvhen thousands of people were brought here by the ex- curstons. This year’s exhibit is a great improvement upon the previous one and is attracting a great deal of at- tention, thousands having visited it in the states through whieh it has passed. — T September veport of the Kansas Board of Agriculture, which deals with actual results and not with prospects, shows that Kuansas has done prett 1 this year after all. Al averago winter wheat vield of 18,6 bushels, with a total of 70,305,850 bushels seems like o good showing. The final report of the corn crop is nov yet given, but it is estimated at more than 140,000,000 bushe The winter wheat acreage in that state will be considerably reduced next year if the dry weather continues to prevent seed- ing. In Nebraska winter wheat seeding is also delayed by the same cause. and it is to be feared that the anticivated boom in this cereal in our state will be interfered with. Tue chairman of the now defunct Western Traflic association says that its dissolution will not cause any demorali- zation of rates because thero is so much business for the roads todo thatitis not necessary to cut rates. This is un- doubtedly true at present, for the west- ern roads have an enormous amount of produce to haul to market.

He had the unsoficited assurances of many of the most prominent democrats of his ai: ict that the woere poing 1o eive him their most hoarty support, and ho was satisfied with his work among the independents. Ho was more than pleased with the succoss that was at- tending Judgo Crounse’s canvass, and felt that the clection of the entire ticket was a torezone conclusion. Ho could not help but notica that the republican nationai ticket was growins in strangth every day, und that muny old time republicans who 1 gone iuto the populist party openly acclared thoir intentioy ot voling for ilatrison, oven though they intended to vote ths state ticket of their own party, as they realizea that theiv presidential candidato had not the slhightest chance of suc and they did not pronose to vote i a manner that could even fndirectly count for Cleveland.

He has been around over the staten great denl and is satisfied that the republican stato ticket will beelected. Some time ago he was fearful that the democrats would be abio to carey out their plau to throw their vote Lo the populist clectors, but he said this morn ing that e was now coavinced that the plan would not be carried out, as the democrats all through the state outside of Omaha ana Lincoln would not submit to it, and even in those cities he found a strong sentiment against it, becauso of the influence it might have on the guvernatorinl vote. He knew that fon. J.

Hon, James Whitehead the ropublican of Broken Bow nomineo for congress in t Sixth district, came in_yesterday from Lin- coln, where o atteuded the joint debate “Tuesday evening between Iield and Bryan, the congressional nominees trict. He finished his own iKem last & v, and being 1n tho capital city on other business, availed himsell of tho opportunity to hear his fellow candi- dates, - and dispassionately ana without prejudice size up the situation so far as they wero concerned. It was the first time that ho had ever heard Bryan, ana he was very muct disappointed, as he had heard so much about him as an orator and greav debat that he expected something —consider ably better than ne received, He found DLoth debaters at their best, and the situation was such that ho was able to form a very accurate opiuion of the strength of the pair. He noted carefully the argu- ments of cach ana the manner m which thoy wore received, and had no hesitancy in say- ing that Judge Flield had considerably the hetter of it. Whilo he had some doubts before as to thesituution in the INirstdistrict, he is now certain that the republican nominee will vepreseat it in the noxt cougress. Regarding his own fight be spia that hs Laq 1 tho Pirst dis sories with Mr, 1 nesn unavle to discuss party issues as much as he wanted to do, as J{em’s record had been made the 155u8 by his own party ever since he rewurned from Washington. The pavers of his purty bad jumped upon him rough shod and Kem had been compelled to sume the defensive on hnis record even cfore Whitehead received the nomina- tion at the hands of the repub- licans and could not bay attention to anything elso, as it required all the time allowed under the rules for the debate for him o try to square himself with his cou- stituents for his actions while in congress. As far as the stato ticket was concerned he did not think that thero was tho slightest prospect that it woula be defeated, us all below tho head of it would havea walkaway, and the way the thing was going cven the governor would be elected by a plurality of 10,000, notwithstanding the fight that Van Wyck had made. Out in his district, which was considered quite a populist stronghold, the farmers werc far from endorsing all that their leaders would have the people of tne east Dbelieve about the impoverished con- dition of things in the stato and would vote for Harrison, despite the glib assertions of Mr. Kem, his opponent and the very prince of calamity howlers, “IKew has got the calamity howl down thoroughly fine,” said Mr. Whitehead, “*and be works it for all that itis worth,” D, J.

Mr. Rigg suid that a few woeks ago ho entcriained some doubts as to theavility of Judge Crounse to pull tbrough, but that the manner in which the voters'of tuo state were flocking to his support had swept sway tho last vestige of uncertamty that bed linzered in his mind, and that h3 was now just as conii dent of his election us ho was that the sun would rise on election day. He said that if tue change continued for thenext four weoks as it had for the past month, 1t would not only result1n the election of the whole tickot by rousinz pluralitios, but would gve the republican nominees stich o vote as 1o cause people to wonder what had causea them to regard Van Wyck's election as even a possi- bility, much less u thing to be feared as probable, Both gentiemen left for Lincoln last evening, —— Democratic “Harmony \ Chicago Journal, One of the humorous incidents of tha cam- paign, and ons which illustrates the incon- gruities of moaern democracy, occurred in Nebraska, where the democratic candidate for governor, J.

There has not ago, Then the state ing been a single solicitor of campaign funds in any of tho departments or bureaus during the present campaign, and thero will vo nono. Tho very spirit of the civil service is being enforceu. There have not been “dunning” cir sont out to office holders from lican stato associations, either. 1f any offico holder wants to contributo ho can hunt up tho proper person and hand over the money 0 one will ask him for it. Whaen Mr. Benedict was publie printer four vears ago undor Mr. Cleveland, £10,000 were raised for tho demoeratic fund in the government priuting ofice. Iiven the wome: who make from §25 to £10 a month wera assessed. Some woro asked 1o pay as littlo a8 §1, many paid as litlo as 20 cents —money which comio from widows who had to take bread from the mouths of wfants, from lit- tlo giris who folded leaves for books and supporied thew mothers. Tur BEr's corre spon it is assured upon authority that there tas not been a dollar solicited or con- teibuted atthe government printing ofice, and none will be solicited or contributed. In fact, the oflico 1s 1ot run upon partisan lines. “There aro hundreds and hundreds of demo- crats in tho offico now, and tho public printer and bis priucipal assistants have not uttered a word or taken a step to_indicate that they are partisans. Quite a differe betweon the two administrations, Almost as much ean bo said of some other branches of the government, Satistied with the An Ameriean spivit law, ilars the repube American ¥l has pervaded overy thing about Washington since President Harrison set tho exawplo in the Chilian troublo, and it nas had the efect of com: pletely oviiterating every truculent ais position in whatever quarter, It was only threo or four years ago that the flag of tho country from whence the visitor came was displuyed upon occasions of visits of for eigners, und it was tho proper thing to hoist the flar of his native country on_every natal day where an employer was of foreigu birth. ‘'he foreman of the press room at the gov ernment printing ofico is foroign born. That oftice was georgeously decorated on tho oc- casion of the recont Grand Army of tho Re public cncampment. Some of tho pressmen, who were overseoing the decorating, thought it would be a nice little complimont to raise the flag of his native country over an en- trance or the desk of the press roomn's fore man, The tlag was procured and was being placed in position when Foreman Auer en- tered tho room. “Why are you putting that up? he in- quired. “Out of compliment to our foreman,’ was the response, #Well " 5aid the old gentloman, bis voice showing feeling of appreciation, I thank vou; but I am an American now, and an Amcrican flag is 2ood enough for me.” The meident had a profound impression. Similar incidents are reported in other de- partments, the outgrowth of President Harrison's standard, Mrs. Harrison Resting Well, Mrs. Harrison’s condition shows no ma terial chango today. She rested well last night and bad a peaceful dav. A dispatch sent to Russell Harrison, who is with his wife in New York, said that Mrs. Harrison’s condition was unchanged. Tho president went out for a drive this afternoon. The house cleaning which has been going on In the white bouse for several wesks was ex- tended 1o the second floor today, precautions being taken of course for Mr. Harrison's comfort. A sensational story appoars in an evening paper today headed **Waiting for Death.” It says plainly that Mrs. Harrison’s death is f question of weeks or montts only, and in- timates that misleading information has been iven out at the white house. T'he fact 15 that no effort has been mado at any time to concoal the serious character of Mrs, Harrison’s illness. But that thero is uo_imminent danger of acath should be sufifceintly proved by tho attitude of tho members Mrs. Harrison's fomily. Her son would certamly not b absent from Washington 1f there were any immiont danger. Wiile the president does not hope for Mrs. Harrison's entire re covery, if no complication sets in she may so far recover as to lead an invalid life for a period which no physician would ussumo the authority to limit. The publication of this unfounded and seusational story at this timoe is an act which will meet_the reprobation of those who bave given their sympathy to the peesident so generously in his bour of tial, Trying to Make Politieal Capital, 'he civil service commission bas no of love (AL TAD T CONTRIBUTE | Largest Manufacturers and Doalors of Clolhing i the World.
