Taxpayers of Omaba, please don’t forgot this, PRIVATE SECRETARY MORRISSEY as an investigator of boodlers is a striking fllustration of the etor fitness of things. WuiLe are having <o many joint debates in this state, why not arrange one betweon one J. S. Morton and one ‘W. J. Brysn on the silver question? wo TaE county hospital buildings are again agitajing public attention by their generally dilapidated condition. They are said to be in as shaky a condition as the county democracy. “THOU dost protest too much,” growl the suspicious mugwump organs of Now York to the Tammany braves who are daily and hourly declaving their alle- giauce to the Prophot of Gray Gables. I1 1S evident by the way the Ttalians have taken part in the Columbus cele- ‘brations that they have forgotten all about that little New Orleans affair in fheir pride of America’s discoverer’s pativity. OMAHA cannot expect a $3,000,000 union depot like the now Philadelphia Broad street station, but this city is en- titled to a depot that will accommodate She vast passenger traflic that centers at this point. THE proposition to enrich the mine owners by pussing a free silver act would be identical, just as absurd and impossi ble,with guranteeing the farmer $1.29 per bushel for his wheat when the market price is but 70 cents. BRECKINRZIDGE has finally refused to orate at tho dedication exercises in Chi- eago next week. The celebration wiil pot be deferred on that account. Chaun- eey Depew is capablo of rendering the occasion memorabie. THE democratic house ticket has some good men, we will admit, but thero are 2o better men in the county than Augus- ¢us Lockner, Charles Goss or W. N. Nason, who ure candidates for the house on the republican ticket. ‘WE HEAR it again stated that our ag- ricultural implements ave sold in foreign countries at a lower price than in Amer- ica. This woula be important if true. But it isn’t true and has been proven to be tho exuct reverse by all who investi- gated the subject, Tue people’s party loudly calls for government control of telegraph lines and yet not a single member of that party in congress has introduced a bill to that effcet or attempted to render aid to the postul teiegraph, a perfectly sane and feasible measure, which has been projected by tho republicans through Mr. Wanamuicer and other: STHERE t money enough in this country,” cry the free silvor advocates. Then why should wo have free silver which would in a very short time drive out of circulation in this country about 8600,000,000 of gold, crippling all finan- cial transnctioas by the enforced use of a debased coin and making the greatest lack of money ever experienced in our history? A LIVERPOOL trade Journal, speaking of the grain market in Lurope, says that “the key to tho situation this season may Do found in an unexpectedly large demand for wheat from the continent, which will help to vaise prices out of the mire iuto which they have fallen.” From all sources there are predictions of improved prices and tho tendency is upward 80 far as any cha o is shown. HENRY LIVESEY has always been an upright citizon, Ho has lived in Omaha for more than a quarter of a century nnd served the public creditably in every position he has ever held. In his hands the affairs of Douglas county would be conducted with strict integrity and economy. Tom Tuttle, who is pitted against Livesey for the position of com- missioner, has made o record in the couneil that ought to bar him from any position, THE storm that swept over the city of Denver on Wednesday did damage in various ways, but chiefly by prostrating electric light and trolley wires, the elec- trie current causing the death of half a dozen horses with which the wires came in contact. What would be the result of a sumilar storm in Omaha? Tho eleetric wires overhead are a constant menace 0 public safety. No city can enjoy im- munity from windstorms oy which the poles and wires may bo brought down, and sorious loss of life may easi'ly hap- pen from the prostration of “live’ wires. ST VAR b 7 2S5 5, MORTON'S DEMAGOGY. | J. Sterling Morton’s effort to crinple | the sugar beet industry by denouncing | the bounty as n system of pernicious | protection is in keeping with all the other free-trade fullacies, In order to earry his point with a thoughtless audis enco Morton, in his Grand Is denounced us wnd speech, an imposition upon the duty on the machinery which th Oxnards imported from Europe, and sought to rouss popular prejudice against them by pointing to the fact that they also imported forcigners to set up the machinery, and employed foreigners to carry on the beets, Now Morton simoply resorted to the wildest of demagogy and banked on the ignorance of his audience. The fact that sugar beet culture is an industry of very recent dato in the United States. The machinery had to be imported from France and Germany bocauss such ma- chinery was not to bo had in America, and furthermore because thero was nd demand for manufacturing it in this count Tho men to set up the ma- chine: and ( was ch ¥ hind to be imported from Franco srmany not their labor or but because no competent because engincer familine with such machinery coutd be found on this side. Paying fare from Puris to Grand Island and back for an expert sugar-refining en- gine: ould hardly be called an at- tempt to import cheap labor. When Ameriea can boast of 100 su, instend of half n dozen, no sugar refincr will bo idiotic enough to end abroad for his mechanical en- gineer. Ior the sume reason the Oxnards were compeiled to import foveigners from countries that cultivate the sugar beet on un extensive scale. When our native farmers have learned refineries from these foreigners how to cultivate sugar beets, the domestic labor will doubtless be substituted. It stands to reason thatany now iudustry must be begun by the importation of skitled labor from countries whero iv isin a flourishing condition. The first New England cotton mill engineers and machinists had to be im- ported from Laneashire and Man- chester, and our first glassworkers camo from Belgium, France and G many. Our silk industry has been carried on by Ttalians; our copper mines and cotl smelters by Cornishmen ana our eries hinve been worked by Welsh- men. That fact does not cheapen Ameri- can labor, but on the contrary enlarges its spheve of activities and creates a greater demand for American labor products. Free trade would paralyze many of our industries and make the American veople dependent upon for- eign countrics for almost every product of the factory and miil. So long as American bor 1is better paid and American workmen are better housed, clothed and fed, there will be an influx to our shores of toilers seeking to better their condition. Their coming is the best certificate in favor of tho policy under which American industry has been fostered and labor elovated to o higher plane. SAPELY SOLID. atic organs gleefully de- clare that the south is safely solid for their party. Since the result of the clections in Georgin and Forida clearly demonstrated that the populist party had ceased to bo u factorin those stat the democratic leaders have dismissed all anxiety regarding the electoral vote of the south. Iiven as to abama, where there i3 a division iu the demo- cratic ranks, they profess to feel not the least apprehension respecting the result on tho national ticket. There has been some talk of what might beaccomplished by republican and populist fusions in Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia but in all this there is eviaeutly more or less of what is known as *“*rainbow chas- ing.” The fact is that no rel be placed upon the southern because their first sympathy is with the democracy and the influsnces that are strongest with them will lead then toact with the democratic party tho national election, An eastern republican contomporary ice can populists, in pointedly und sonsibly savs: *“‘IRopub licans need not expond any money or thought upon the south. It will be squandered money and barren thought if ventured. The proper way is to copt asolid south as a forogone conclu- sion and buckle to and make a solid north and west. For if the third party does not resent the treatment of their candidate in the south it ouzht not to be difticult to overcome so pusilanime a party in the west. We cannot be- lieve that there can be a party of cowardsand fools,” Obviously the situa- tion demunds that the republicans shall expend no effort whore theve is uot somo reasonable chanco of its being effectivo, and it ought to be plain to tho mer tyro in politics that nothing is to b | complished in the south, The v question is, for the campaign is almost atan end, will the third party in the west resent the treatment of their can- didates in the south? There is but one offective way to do this, and that is to elect tho republican candidates, The success of Mr. Cleveland wou'd be o vindication of the intolerant spirit of the southern wey. Are the ex- republicans among the populists of the northwest willing that this shall be done? The more intelligent among them must seo the absolute hopelessness of their cause. Ave they prepared to demoe: lift into powar, by throwing away their whose ndi- is votes upoi Weaver, the party dominant eloment denied to their e date that froedom of spescl the constitutional right of every eitize in every section of the union? A vote for the populist candidate will be a vote for Cleveland, und neither the demo- cratic candidate nor any leader or organ of the democracy has condemned the treatiment of the third party candi- date in the south. Isit possible that there is @ populist anywhero in the north or west, whoso preference is not for democraric success, who can be so blind or indifferont to patriotic duty that he will not vote so as to rebuke the party whoso intolerant and brutl treat- ment of the people’s party candidate was o reproach 1o the country? Undoubtedly the south is safely solid for the dewocracy, made so by wethods which | which mock American peoplo the refunding of tho | ture of the | A NI W 0 DT 7 THE OMAHA opublican institutions, and however unfortunate it may be to sum- mon the spirit of scctionalism into ac- tivity at this time a solid north and west is necessiiry to properly respond to tho latest manifestation of the intoler- ant spirit of the dmocratic south. THE FOPULIST CANDIDATE. Gereral Van Wycek is getting some rough handling from the pr of the state on gccount of the manifest incon- sistoney of his past record and present professions. Although a veteran polit- | campaigner he can 1 tho fact that the exposure greatly annoys and irritates him, and this grows with the increasing that he steadily losing strength. There are thousands of populists who believe, in | vi of the dovelopments, that the | party made a grave mistake in selecting | General Van Wyck as its standard beaver in this campaign. He is not only compelled to make o defensive fight but he has shown unexpested wenkness i cohee knowledgo is w | an advocate of the principles of the peo- | vle’s party Goneral Van Wyck professes to en dorse the plank of the populist platform which demands a tional currency | “safe, sound and flexible, issued by the | 1 government only, a full legal tender for all aebts, public and private, and thut withoug the use of banking corporations,” and thevefore he is op- posed to the national banks. Yet Gen- eral Van Wyck was 1o the extent of his voico and vote in congress responsible for the ereation of the national bank He was ono of the strongest advoeates of the national currency act in congress at the time of its adoption and was one of the seventy-cight me bois who voted for the act on its final passage, February 20, 18 Nor was this all, for the general availed himself of this legislation in becoming interested in & national bank. No sewvsible man blames him for this, but the question natueally suggests itself, what is there about tho national banks now that venders them so objectionable to Gen- genc system, is. it al Van Wycek which d'd vot exist when he was their fricnd and bene- ficiary ¥ he republican candidate for gov ernor has brought to light, though not or tho lirst tim the joint debates with the populist candidate, a number interesting facts in the public record of the latter which must present him in o rather awkward and unattractive po- ton to many populists who were led to confidingly believe that they had found in General Van Wyek the ideai leader of the new political movement, the em- bodiment of the simple, unselfish and humanitarian instinets which the aver- ago populist ribes to himself and his fellow purtisans. 1t must have been something of & shock to not a few of these people to discover, after having irrovocably named their standard ver, that he belongs among the “plutocrats’ of Nebraska, that he is ex ceptionally shrewd in a financial trans action and has a tenacious grip on what he has aceumulated. As amatterof fact both the party and the candidate were deceived—the former in overestimating the populavity of the candidate and thelatter in under- estimati tho intelligence of the people. Few men ever succeed in rid ing two horses in a political campaign, Conservative citizens, who demand that the executive of the state shall at least be free from every {ormof dissimulztion and deception and n worthy representa- tive of tho intelligence, the integrity ard tine conscience of the people, cannot consistently give General Van Wye their support. AT ODDS WITH COMMON SENSE The experiencs of Omaha jobbers who handle tin plate does not harmonize well with the statements of Mr. Bryan and other democratic campaigners who are 1nsisting that tin plate is not and cannot be made in the United State: Dealers in this city are constantly handling American tin in smull quanti- ties. When they artoad lots they receive smaller shipments with the ex- planation that the newly established mills are not vet ready to meet the large demands made upon them, In the short time that has elapsed sinco the McKin- loy law made this industry possible in order this country it has been impracticable to build and eguip mills of suflicient capacity to supply the needs of the count The indus' is a new one in the United States and it would bo folly to deny that there is much for our man- ufacturers to learn concerning the pro- cesses of its manufacture, but to assert that Awmerican ingenuity and skill, buacked by & spirit of enterprise that never yet ackuowledgod defeat, cannot solve the problem of tin plate making simply absurd, Tho diffienity with the free trade cam- paign orators is that they donot give the people credit for any intelligonce. They say that they ave uuable to learn by diligent inquiry that there is uny such thing us Amorican tin plate, and that the McKinley law must therefore be a fraud. How can they expect peo- yloe of common sense to b influenced b such thin sophistry as this? Does not every man possessing the cupacity to think know that the tin plate industr in this country was boin but yesterday, as u fruit of new conditions, and that it has only just bezun its existence? And yet despite its extreme youth it isal- veady making England wineo as a com- petitor in the market, and any dealer in tin plate in Omaha will tell the free trade stump speakors that there is de- cidedly such a thing as American tin now in sight, with a greuat deal more of the same article expected soon. VINDICATE THE WEST. The prophets of calamity are doing even more harm to the credit of Colo- rado than to that of Nebraska or Kansas, for the reason that they are misrepre- senting the condition of the great min- ing interests as well us that of the agricultural interests of thut state. Those who are jealous of the credit and reputation of Colorado have good reason to protest against this ruinous kind of political campaigning. Nebraska is suf fering from the bad pume given her by the populists, but it is not easy to de press the credit of & state lurgely de- voted to agriculture unless there is at least an appearance of truth in the damaging statemonissmade. The who'e country knows that'this state produced | enormous crops 1afy fear und the fame of her crops this yearhas already gone abroad to discred#tthe empty allega- tions of the calafilsy crowd. A fe weeks ngo the popuiists had the possi- bility of early froifs wo rely upon, but now that hope is,.gena and the crops cortainly assured have begun to undo the damagé rought to the repu- tation of Nebraska during the summer. In this respect this state, malinged and abused as it has been, is better off than Colorado. The great mining industries of the latter are represented as pros- trated by the finuncial policy now in force, and it is not casy for the outside ood world to learn the truth. It must be wsperating to those who are jealous f the good name of that state, us indeed everybody ought to be, to know that it is suffering under this needless ana foolish detraction, It has been demonstrated in this state, und yet more in Kansas, that the vory existence of a ealumity organiz tion, without vegard to the truth of its stutements, is a positive and perpetual injury. Stories of increasing mortgag burdens and general distress may be re- futed, but many a man seeking athome in the west has hesitated to settle in a state which he feared would soon be deminated by cranks. If in spite of these manifest drawbacks this stato is gaining steadily in population, which it very much néeds to do, it is plain that the increase would be much more rapid il less were said to its disadvantage. The snine true of other western states in which the populists ave uctive. No- body denies their right to organize as a political party if that pleases them, but their right to misrepresent and dispar- age the states in which they are operat- ing inorder to make it appear the there isa demand for the remedy which they offer is not to be conceded for a moment. In ascetion of the country largely dependent for its future devel- opment upon immigration it is intoler ablo that so foolish a policy should be pursued. Lot the credit and reputation of the west be vindicated. is Tun death of the W stern socintion is notexpected to produce any T as- particular disturbance in the situntion for the reason that it was ex- pected. When a quorum of the advisory committeo :d to attend the meeting in New York called for last Tuesday it was apparent that thére was a mutual understanding that it was time the asso- ciation eame to an railvoad end, It had never been of any very great service. Tho agrecment entered linto by its memnors was never faithfully kept by all of them and it was powerless toenforce its decrees. Thero is a lesson’ in the ecaveer and death of this association but it seems hardiy worth while to state it. It will Dbe sullicient to olAerve thav it is not creditable to the presidents of the roads that they were umbie to formulate a plan capable of corpedting tho ubuses of which they,complajng I§isevident that further general legtskation will b ne: sary and itwill probably take tho form of authorizing a money pool subject to regulation by the Iuterstate Com merce commission I sEEMS atfirst ¢lance alittle strange that there should be a large increase in the sales of anthracito conl under pros- ent conditions, but nodoubt the explana- tion lies in the fact vhat consumers have made haste to stock up in anticipation of further unrensonable advances in price by the coal combine. During tho week ending October 1 tho amount of anthracite sent to market by the several carrying companies was 1,009,244 tons, compared with 865,500 tons during the same week last year, an increase of 142,744 tons in the face of the increased price, which was expected to greatly reduce the demand. It is not likely that the buying will long bs continued at this rate, for even the natural im- pulse to stock up before the advances must have a limit.
