The nation mourns the death of Mr Harrison, Everywhere throughout this brond land the hearts of men and of women are touched with a profound sor- row, and If human sympathy can heal the wounds of those to whom the loss of wife and mother is an unspeakable be- renvemont, it is given them avithout limit. For weeks the American people shaved in the alternating hope and anxioty of those who kept devoted vigil by the bedside of the afficted. Every report that came from the sick room was solicitously read in millions of homes. When Mrs, Harrison asked to be taken from the mountain resort, where a restoration to health was sought, back to the sunshine of Wash- ington, there was a general feeling of gratification when her request was com- plied with, and a universal hope that the change would bring improvement. All this was testimony to a degree of popular affection which no other woman since the mother of Washington has enjoyed. The extent of that affection is the measure of the popular SOFTOW. Mvrs, Harrison represented the high- est standard of American womanhood, and, 1ndeed, of all true womanhood. To her, home had a loftier meaning than anything else under heaven, and her duties as wife and mother were above all others, save her obligations to her Maker. The story of her life is that of simple and faithful performance of every domestic function. A woman of culture and refinement, capable of moet- ing the highest social demands, she did not seek the diversions of society as an object of life, but rather accopted and performed what society required of her asaduty. The testimony is that none discharged this duty more worthily. Whether us a private lady in her homo at Iodinnapolis, or entertaining as a senator’s wife, or presiding over the white house ns the tivst lady of the land —everywhere she was the same gra- cious, considerate, hospitable hostess— everywhere she maintained the unos- tentations muanners and the unaffected dignity of a true and noble womanhood. In all theso respects Mrs, Harrison was an example of which American women may well he proud, and which all women would do well to enulate. That she left the impress of her superior qualitics upon the social life of her time, 8o far as she came in contact with it, is not to be doubted, and in her death, ufter weary weeks of patient suffering, marked by the tenderest care and most faithful devotion of husband and chil- dren, there is n lesson to her sex of the worth of & pure, useful and unseltish life. ENCOURAGING 10 STOCK RAISERS. [n an articloon the decline of the stock business in Great Britain the Lon- dou Financial 1imnes says: The order recently issued by the oard of acriculture, which came into force on the 19th of Septembor, permits the importation of shcep frow tho United vessels with cattle from that y. It will doubtioss encourage alive trade in sheop, which ison the increase there, whilo the claim recently made vy Secretarv Rusk, when he declared the Uuited States free from pleuro-preumonia, is suggestive of the entry of live cutile from the United States into our inland markets at no remote date. Tt seems probabis tuat we shall soon bo de- pendent on America for our beef, with tho result that cattle oreeding, which has till lately been the main prop of our agriculture, will becomo as unprofitable as wheat grow- ing. IPew subjects are of deeper interest to the western farmer than that here re- ferred to. 1t has Yeen evident for some time that Europe was becoming more and more dependent upon the United States for its meat supply. Our exports of cattle, hogs and sheep have enor- mously increased of late and thero soems to be a good prospect that they will con- tinue to do so. 1t is undoubtedly true that England will soon be largely de- pendent upon America for her beef and for other meuts. We can raise stock more cheaply than England can, and for that matter no country of Europe can compete with us. The vast areas of grazing land in the west will continue for many years to invite the enterprise of stoek raisers, and with judicious man- ement vhey can produce the best of meats at peices which will defy Euro- poun competition. The exports of boef and pork from the packing houses of South Omaha have wonderfully in- sased during the past year and Chi- ro and Kansus City have also had a great foreign tride, The future of the moat business in the west is full of promise and the prospsct of a growing market in Europo uffords every encour- agement to the western stockmun, AMERICAN TEXTILE IND RIES. The statistics for each branch of the great toxtilo industries have recently been completod by the census buveau. It appears from the tabies presontod that the increase in silk manufucture has been most striking, being 112.75 per cent in the value of the products, but couton ranks second w th an increnso of 30,01 per cont and wool third with an inerease of 26,34 por cent, The average increase in the téxtile industry is 38,51 por cont. It appoars from tho report, however, that wool stands first in rela- tave importance among the textite man- ufacetiives with a product valued at $337. 768,024, with cotton products second, valued at $207,981,724, und silk products third, valued at #37,203,454 The in- eronse in the total of theso textile prod- ucts during the past ten years b been $192,672,634 previous records any other country, Ihe most intecesting feature of these statistics is the great inereaso shown in the nmount of wages paid to operators, In the combined vored to above the incrense in paid has been G471 percent. The total sum of H162.865,505 was paid in these industries o 458,921 employes, making the annual average of wazos o each person em- ployed $349.51 in the wool manufactares as against $205.53 in 188), $501.65 in the cotton munufacturos as compired with #2465 in 1850, and $383.55 in the sil manufactu ympared with $201.85 in 1880, Theso wiges, it is to beremem bered, are the average earnings of men, wowen and childron, As there has been a graat reduction in the prices of the goods produced in theso three industries it 18 ovident that the total production as This surpasses all wrowth in this or of idustrios as must be vastly greater than it was ten years ago in order to make so great an inorease in the value of the product. These figures ought to be very suge gestive to the American workingman They prove conclusively that industrie which rank among the most important in the United States are growing with great rapldity, that the wages of their operatives are increasing, and that the prices of their products arc steadily falling. I'he poor man is especially io- terested in the growth of our cotton and wool textile industries, He has to buy the products of these miils, and he has every reason to congratulats himself upon the fact that thoy are flourishing, and that while they are reducing the cost of the goods whioh he must buy, they are atthe same time enlarging the field of American labor and bettering the condition of their employes. The protection of home industries is not merely an advantage to the manufac- turer—it promotes the interosts of the workingman by making a markoet for labor, and by cheapening the commodi- ties which he is compslled to buy. — THE SAME HERE, Ex-Senator Hill of Colorado, in an open lotter to the voters of that state, gives among several reasons for repub- lican success ‘‘that the credit and repu- tation of Colorado will be injured be yond all calculation should the Weaver ticket be successful.” Simply as a busi- ness proposition, says Mr. Hill, *I am of the opinion that the election of the Weuaver ticket in Colorado would 1nflict an injury upon our credit from which it would require years to vecover.” Can any practical man doubt that populist success in Nebraska would have the same damaging effect upon the credit and reputation of this state that it would have upon Colorado? The con- ditions in the two states are very much alike, that is, both must depend for their development upon outside capital and upon attracting population from other portions of the country. Wha over would repel thess from the one would be equally effective in repelling them from the other. Nebraska has alrendy had enough oxperionce to wal rant the conviction that populist success would seriously injure the credit and reputation of the state, Iliverybody who has given intelligent attention to the matter knows that the new political movement has retarded the progress of Nebraska and been a check upon its prosperity. The damage dono here has not been as serious, perhaps, as in Kan- sas, chiefly for the reason that the supe- rior capabilities of Nebraska offer stronger inducements to investment and settlement, but no well-informed man will question that this state would have gained move largely than it has done in the last two or three years had it not been for the danger of the success of the new political movement. That danger is still present, though it is dimtnish- ing, there is every reason to believe, as the day of election approaches, but not until it is swept away by a defaut of the populist party so complete as to leave no chance for the demagogues in that or- ganization to do further mischief will Nebraska rvealize that degree of progress und prosperity which ought to be hers. There could be no stronger proof of the genevally high esteem in which the ca- pabilities of Nebraska are held than the fact that notwithstunding disparage- ment and misrepresentation, the menaceo of prohibition and the equally greut danger from the new political move- meat, she hus gone steadily forward in material developmont, and it is surely a fair aud reasonable inference that if theso obstacles to progress were re- moved, the advance would be much more rapid than it has been. Regarded from a purely practical standpoint there cannot be & reasonable doubt that popu- list success in Nebraska would 1nflict incalculable dumage upon the state, af- fecting not one or two but all interests, from which it would require years to recover. The experiment already had should be sufficient. A JUSTIFIABLE SELFISHNESS, **When we deal with foreign nations,” said Senator Manderson in his speech at Hebron, *‘we want to got more than we give.,” This is the republicin posi- tion, but it is the raverse of the posi- tion taken by the democracy in this campaign, Tt is one of the most sur prising things in political history thata party claiming 1o reprosont the people and to speak in behalf of their interests should not only fuvor a policy by which a competing nation would gain a great advantage, but should also accuse its opponents of cruel indifference to tho “*brotherhood of man,” It should be remembered that the first duty of any nation is self-protection. Nothing could be more absurd than the pretense that it s incumbent upon the American peo- ole to make laws that will favor the manufacturer and the wage earner of Great Britain. So fur as we have ob- sorved no republican journil or orator has rejoiced over the depression that has been caused in Bagland by the en- forcement of our protactive policy. The facts have buen referred to for no other purpose but to show that free trade is not the rich blessing which its demo- cratic advocates in this country claim it to be, Itis true that we want to get more than we give when we deal with foreign nations, England has bsen trying for more than a contury to gat more than she gave in her commercial dealings with us, and it has been openly declarel in parlinmont that the true policy for Iingland was to crush out every Amer- ican industry in its infuncy in order that competition might be rendered impossi- ble. It is not proposed by the advocates of protection that Boglish industries shall be throttled, but only that the American manufacturer and wage earner shall be taken cave of. If that menns a heartless disregara of tho brotherhood of man,” the free traders are at liborty to make the most of it. A pisraTci from Toronto states that efforts will be made from this time forth to iuduce emigrants from western Burope who have gone. or are going, to the northwestern states, to settle in the Canadian northwest, There is really nothing new about this, for the Cana- dians huve long sought to secure u targer share of the European immigra- uion. At presentionly a verysmall pro- portion of the psepls who cross the sea to seok homes on {Rid continent are at- tracted to the Dominion. This is not altogother dus’ td the fact that the agricultural resources of the states are better’ than those of Canada, for it i{s well known that large portions of the Dominion are peculiarly adapted to agricultural prod- ucts. The real truth is that immigrants come to the United States because they 1ike its institutions better than those of Canada. Thoy have had enough of Buropean forms of government and do not wish to sesk homes in a country that is controlled by Great Britain., A government that isof the peopie, for the people and by the people has its at- tractions for thosa who are leaving Europe to better their condition. They are not ignorant of the advantages which the United States offers to the poor nan by reason of an administra- tive policy which airas to make his lot as oasy as possible and to encourage him in the accumulation of property. Under present conditions Canada cannot ex- pect to compete with this country in attracting immigrants. r—— THE haphazard manner in which jurors are sélected in this district is sure to work hardships upon ligitants. The people want good men on the bench; litigants strive to retain reputable at- tornoys to try their cases and go to groat lengtlis to satisfy themselves of the honesty and integrity of men whom they employ to conduct their cases be- fore any high court. But jurymen aro selected hit or miss—usually miss. It would seem to be considered as a small matter whether a juror has a con- science or not. The atmosphero of a court of justice, the admonition of an upright julge or the great welght of unshaken testimony will not make a dishonest juror vote on the side of equity and right. With more care in the selection of men for our juries the courts of this city would be spared such scandals as that which re- sulted in the woll-deserved re- buke which Judge Irvine admin- istered to Juror Redey, whom he dismissed from the panel in disgrace. Doubtless this procoeding will have a wholesome effect upon careless men who have no concoption of the sanctity of their oaths as jurors mnd whoso prejudices overshadow all senso of jus- tice. THE “Weokly Tin Plate Report” of Messrs. Thomas & Stirling of Bradford, England, dated -October 7, has thi “‘Present slaughter prices are telling a tale in south Wales; about 180 mills are standing 'idle nnd prob- ably will not .be restarted until the men agree to a very appre- ciable reduction ‘in their wages.” This state of affairsis due to American competition under the McKinley law. The Welsh tin ‘plate malkers cannot stand the pressure and are obliged to close their mills and throw their men out of employment. If the latter can be induced to accept a further reduction from the beggarly wages which they have received in the past the mills may be started again. - Their condition is in striking contrast with that of the American wo-kingman and the differ- once is simply the difference between protection and free trade. Could any- thing be more dishonest than the m able pretense of the democrats that pro- tection has done nothing for the young tin plate 1ndustry of this country?

Mr. Biaine in his late article refors to the record of President Joffer- son on the surplus and on the tariff policy in these words: *‘His action in 1807 when he declined to recommend the repeal or alteration of tha revenue law, after a surplus of $14,000,000 had been accumulated, puts him in the sharpest contrast to Mr. Cloveland who in his term of office treatod the surplus accumulated as the sum of all vil- lainies, THE University of Illinois is well enough 1n its way, but when it comes to foot ball the University ol Nebraska ap- pears to be the greater educational in- stitution by six to nothing.

O'Neir1, Neb,, Oct. 22.—To the kditor of Tur Bee: Has it over occurred, 1 wonder, to the old soldiers who nre parading urder the banuer of Weaver and Field and keeping 818D to the tuno of starvation and calamity, that there is not a word or line in the na tional platform of the indepondent party onlculated to carry comfort or cousolution to the soldier soul or pensious to his neody pocketbook? On the subject of the soldier their plat- form is as silont as the tomb and unsympe- thotic as a mummy. No recognition what- ever of the noble servicos and unparalled sacrifices of the brave and patriotic boys who Spraug to thoe dofense of their country and through rivers of blood, disease-breeding swamps und the tiendish malice and torture of rebol prison pens, preserved its honor, vindicated the principlo of human liberty and established for the happiness and pro- wection of future generations one govern- mont, one nation, 1ndivisible, all-powerful, ang, iet us hope, eteraul. Not ono word of sympathy and encourage- mert, noL one promise or puarantee of assist- ance and support in tho bours of neod and days of decline of the man with the armless sleave, the legless pants, the creppled limb, the signtless oye, tho disensed physique, who lft his home, bis family, is all, to Hight his country’s battles and maintain his countey’s cause.” Not one proifer of aid to the strug- gling widows and orphaned.ctildron of tho country’s defanders who lost their lives in dofenso of the nation's flag. Was ever the coldbloosedness of & political party as strongly exemplified as in this instance! Why, even the old domocratic party with its soiid south and southern sympathy, never dured to ignore the righteous and lLumane demands of tho union soldier. T'he country has never beforo witnessed such studied neglect of the old soidior’s intercsts and con- ceded rights on the part of a political party bidding for national recognition. Following tho platform is a resolution which makes a strained allusion to the soldier aud his pension rights, but it is hollow aud without heart, aad in its proamble dis- tinctly stai@s that it is no part or parcel of the uational platform. Simply a fifth wheel to the independent cart, a useloss and pur- poseless uitachment, & 'stub thrown to the whole, a sop, & mockery, a disgrace to the American poople: an unpirdouablo insult to the men who wore the blue. To one who was present at the convention and watched the proceedings, however, as was the writer, it was no surprise tha: the soldier wus ignored and relegated 1o the rear. A most noticeable feature of this gathering was the southern vepresentation, composed muinly of ex-rebel brizadiers, and with them, of course, the union soldier didn’y count to any alarming extent. The paradox of prescnting the rebel—General iela—on a pension platform, was oo much fov them to countonance. They could do vie lence to their feelings long enough to marc around the hall to the tune of Yankee Doodle provided it was counteracted to tue time of Dixie, but a pension platform would never do. At this the southern scions drew the line, and the result 1 thiat the soldier and his pension are mado a siaeissue—an outside is: “They bring up the rear, and ostracised by this notice to the world: “This is no part of the plat- form.” Can it be, Mr. Editor, that the old_soldier does not know when ho is insulted? Is it possible that when ho is kuocked down, jumped upon and stamped into the eartn, tiguratively speaking, that ho noes not know it Or has he become S0 muenunimous that e is willing to submit himself to any iu- dignity that his southern brothers may heap upon bim, and forego all the well-carned privileges vhich herotofore have been ac- corded him by a grateful peopled I do not belisve that ever inference is corroct. It is my firm belief that the old soldiers, as a boay, will emphatically robuke this premedi- tated 1sult at the polls on the Sth of next month by casting their vailots for the party whioh has always held them in grateful remembranco and cd earn- est action to professions by libergl pension la: That thoy will stay by the old ropublican party—the only perty of prin- ciples and progress asking for tho suffrages of the Americin people today. The party which stauds up for America and Americans and fsuow being made the target for the shalts of southern matice and English free wade cunidity and euy 1f 1o @ of country, pawriotic devotion to the land of one's nativity or adoption s to be upheld and encouraged, the insulls toward the country’s defouders must be rebuked and condeinned, else the fires of patriolism will smoulder and die. Therefore, lot the old soldiers, thcir sons und all erateful citi- zous resent’ tho indignity which the inde pendent party Las designedly and - gra- tuitously offored them, on the Sth of next month in an emphatic and no uncortan way.
