Itis well known that the railroad men are not usually fond of Judge Brower. From the cornfields of Kansas there comes no mournful sound, but a glad shout that Jerry Simpson is sure to be turned down by the voters of his dis- trict. Good for Kan: men JOHN SWINTON, tho historian and editor, is dead and died in the harness. He has been employed on the New York Bun for years ana was o man of ability and power as a student and writer. THE suit against Labor Commissioner Pecl of Now York has beon dismissed for want of prosecution. The democrats made a great blufl in this case, but dis- covered that the buzz saw was in full motion. DURING the past two years thirteen national banks in Nebraska and Kansas have failed. In the mujority of these cases the failure was caused by crop failures. Short crops injure bankers as well as every other cluss of business men, REDFIELD PROCTOR i8 not worrying much about the future.

About every year such roports are sent out but in a briel time the trouble passes away. It is only natural that the railroads should have means at hand to move all their freight in a short time. It HAs been discovered that all tho populist leaders in Kansas as well as General Weaver carry railroad pa The samo condition prevamls in Ne- braska. The lato reform legistature was pledged to pass u law prohibiting passes, but its membors could not resist the tomptation to ride fres and collect mileage. 1TLE of Des Moines, who has just died in Casa Granda, Ariz., was a most zealous and loyal republican and soldier, It was during his term as commander of the Grand Army of the Republic of Iowa that Clevelund ordered the return of the rebel flags, and Gen- eral Tuttle’s fierce and eloquent protest s remembered by all Towan Tue fight between the Omaha con- tending commitices is simply disgrace- ful.

Bryan cun bo substantiated by credi- blo witnesses. Tho confercn o held by the democrats within closed doors in the interest of Bryan and for the pur- pose of raising moaey o elect him was corrcetly reported in every essential particular, —_— MORE than 76,000 head of cattle have already boon received this moath at the South O:nuha stock yards aud the total of the moith’s receipts is expected to be #bout 96,000 head. InOctober last year, which stood us the banner month until now, the receipts were 78,600 head. At this great rate of inerease South Omaha will soan occupy second place in the stock business and the present facilities will bave to be still further enlarged. MORE STATISTICAL TESTIMONY, The superiotendent of tha bank de- partment of New York, who isa demo- erat, a short time ago made nublic a statoment of the savings hank deposits in that state, which showed a net in erense in 1801 of nearly $14,000,000, He has now complated another report show= ing the increase of doposits in the sate banks and the greater amount of the re- sources of these banks sinco the prasent tariff law wont into effect. The later statement is for the quarter ending September 22, 1802, and compari- son fs mado with the report for the quar- tor ending Soptember 27, 1800, just be- fore tho McKinley act became a law. From this it appears that there has heen an inercaso in the deposits of the stute banks of $18.000,000, aud an in- crense of resources oxceeding $24,000,« 000. Tn view of the fact that four-fifths of the banking capital of the stato is invested in the national banks and that most ddpositors use theso banks, the showing of incroase in the resounrces and depositsof the s banks is remavkable. Later statisties regarding the savings banks are also highly interesting and instvuctive, it being shown that in oighteen months sinco the taritf act went 1nto operation, or from January 1, 1801 to July 1, 1892, the deposits in savings banks increased nearly $36,000,000, the enormous aggre- gate ut the latter date baing, wn round numbers, $610,000,000. In the meantiine there was a lurge investment in building and loan associations, dsrived chiefly from tho w of labor, No more conclusive evidence could he given of the highly prosperons condi tion of the working peoploof New York, and they not more favored than those of other states. Tho relative in- crense of savings bank doposits in Mas- husetts has been us groat as in the and doubtless the same is of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Hlinois and other states whera manufacturi is oxtensively carried on. Such a cond tion of affairs is indubitable proof that labor has beon wall omployed and woll paid during the past two years, and no candid man will pe nd that this has not been in large measurs dus to the stimulating effect upon industrics of the now tarilf law. Uader the operation of that many now manuficturing es tablishments have boen started and others have b enl , making a demand for labor and thgreby tending to maintiin wages, In tho distinctively agricultural states itis vossible that the condition of pros- perity, as shown by tho savings of ths people, miy b somewhat loss gratify- ing, but itis a fact that here in Ne- braska, for example, the deposits in all classes of banksare very much larger they were at a corresponding riod two years azo, and thore is no son to doubt that the samo is true of Towa and most of the other agricultural states. That this condition generally prevails is not Lo be uceounted for on the scove of extraordinary thrift among the people, or of the practice of unusua] economy. The workingmen of Amaricn have, as a whole, undoubtedly lived as well during the past two years s in any previous peviod. It is due to the gen- erally nctive employment of labor at re- muncrative wages, as shown by all available statistics, and for this a large measure of credit must go to the e ing taril law THE TAMMAD RATIFICATION, It is an open question whether the nmany ratification mesting in New York on Puesday night was not veally meeting designed primarily for the gloritication of Senator David B. Hiil. o secared tho honors, at all events, and M- Cloveland only shownoe by re- flected light. The meeting appears to have been shrowdly planned to mike u jon by showing that Tammany had only been lying quiet in order to nourish its strength for a burst of en- thusiasm for the democratic candidutes that should frighten all of the repub- iicans out of the ecity. The tiger lot looso in all his terrible ferocity, and pandemonium was liberated at the same time. A great denl will be made of this meeting upon the pretense that it shows the democrats of New York to be har- monious and the Pammany men to be absolutely beside themselves with en- thusiasm for Grover Cleveland, Woell, it was high time for something to be done. 7The Cleveland managers had been fairly humiliating themselves be- fore these foes of the inflated prophet for several weeks in their offorts to bring about some kind of a demons tion that could be passed off for genuine entiiusinsru, Now that they have got tho demonstration they should not fail to make it go as far as possible, This Tammany ratification howl will cost the citizens of New York something, It could only have heen procured by purchuse. Nothing could be more cor- tain than that pledges have been made by the Cleveland men which will make the power of the tiger more seeure in the wetropolis than it is now. Last year he frionds of good government in Now York thought they hud some reison to hopo for escapo from the grip of ‘I'am- many, but the indications now are that this powoerful organization has taken ad- vantage of the alarm of the Clevaland managoers and secured concessions by which it witl be still move lirmly in- trenched, As Lo the effect of this manufactu enthusinsm upon the olection, thut re- wains to bo Nobody can tell whether the knillag of Cleveland will be abandoned or no — HENRY SPRICK. The bitter warfare which is being waged aguinst Heory Sprick in W ash- ington and Dodge counties under varl- ous falso protenses is in reality inspired by corporate influences, Henry Sprick is an upright man of unbending integrity. He is a farmer who has wade farming in Nebraska a success. Heo is beyond the reach of any venal influence and there isn’t money enough in Nebraska to swerve bim from the straight path. He has served the people in both houses of the legislature and hus always cast his vote comscien- tiously for the best interests of the peo- ple. This fact aione makes him offen- sive to the corporations that want w control the next senate, It is a0 open secret that the railroad over ave seen, ropublicans in W countios are kaifing him now and work- ing for his democratic ovponent, John Thomsen, who is a hail fellow well met, without stamina and pliant to cor- porate influencos, The attempt to beat Sprick by charg- ing him with being a prohibitionist is | only a trick. Henry Sprick is a tem- perate man. His success in life is largely due to his sobristy. not a prohibitionist, and oven if he was he would be better than an habitual patron of the saloon with a gum-elastic :nce. Prohibition will not bo an issue in the next legislature. Kve man who respacts honest toil and in- tecrity should seo to it that Ilenry Sprick is returned to the senate. conse A STRANGE THEORY, Don M. Dickinson, chairman of the democratic national campaign com- mittee, has made an important discovery “The forco bill issue,” he says, ‘‘has turned the t in the south and isa power in the northwest, where commer- cial intevests quickly feel anything af- focting the prosperity of the south, ™ IPew people were before aware that the force bill is voaliy recognized as an issuo atall in the northwest. What- over may be said about it by campaign- ers who receive thetr ammunition from the democratic national committee, it hes no more interest as a subject of discussion wmong the people than an abandoned bivd’s nest. And itis by no means trae that commercial intevests in the nortliwest are 1n any manner de- pendent upon the kind of southern pros- perity that would be promoted by absolute democratic supremicy in that section, ‘I'he intorests of the northwest are less closc interwovan with those of thoe south than the intercsts of tho east. and the two scetions have no com- mon purpose that could be subserved by the permanent fortitication of old fash- ioned bourbonisin in the states wh are now making so much noise about “negiro domination, The foree bill is not an 1ssue: there is no foree bill now and it does not appear that there is likely to be one. But so long as democratic intolerance oxists in the south it will bo reseatgd, and potiti- cal turmoil will continue. The force bill agitation in the =outhern states has no bettor purpose than to intensify otd prejudices and keep the south solidly democ What possible interest can the northwest have in that? The logic of Mr. Dickinson’s argument 1s that the northwest has a commercial interest in the successof the fight which the south is waging against “negro domination” because the triumph of democratic intolerance would make the south prosperous. History proves that prosperity eannot be promoted by the absolute and intolerant ascendancy of such clements us compose the southern democracy, and it needs no argument to show that contrary conditions have pro- duced great prosperity in the west ard northwest. Why, then, shouid this part of the country wish to encourago the south in tho furious assertion of its pur- pose to continue the practice of a polie that has brought nothing butevil in the the northwest were supremely selfish and wholly wedded to sectional interests it might wish to seo all of tho rest of the country in the position which the solid south occupies, for it is plain that the southern loss of immigration and enterprise has brought gain to this portion of the Unitad States. Buat that is not the attitude for a loyal peoplo who are intorested in the common pros— y of the countr "ANE OF THE Trustworthy information from every state in which the populist party has been regarded as a formidable factor in the political situation shows that 1t is rapidly on the wane. Such is the report from Idaho and Colorado and from the two Dakotas, in all of which states former republicans who identified them- solves with the new political movement are returning to the old party. A des- perate effort is boing mado by the pop- ulist leaders in those states, aidea by the democrats, tocheck this disintegra- tion, but it goes on, and those bestin- formed rarding the situation bolieve that the success of the republicans in thoso states is assured. In Kansas tho republic ook is improving daily, and no ¢ familiar with the situation iu 1 question that thenew pavty is wenkor by thousauds of votes than it was two months ago. The populist campaign, begun o ng- grossively immediately after the Omaha convention, is drawing to a close with steadily diminishing interest. The principles of the new party, having been submitted to the calm judgment of the people and intelligently discussed, have failed to commend thomselves t> thousands of thoughtful men who impul- sively allied themsolves with this move- ment from a sincore feeling that some potitical departure was necessary in ovder to raform certain admitted evils, Confronted by indisputable facts demon- strating tho prosperity of tho country, the calimily cry has ceased to have in fluence with men who are willing to be convinced by fa Subtreasury and fiat money schemas einnot thrive under tho light of rational inquiry and discus- sion, and tho expisure of the imprac- ticubility aud folly of such expedients has induced thousands of men to aban- don the party of which they arethe cardinal principles Thus the pretentions und demands of the populists, having becn shown in the one ease to be without foundution and in the other foolish and dangerous, the new party has been steadily losing ground, and but for tho anomalous fusion with the democracy it would nowhere be a formidable factor in the political situation The drift away from it is etill going on, and there is every reason to believe that it will be accelerated us the day of election draws neaver. Having fuiled thus far to prove its claims or to justify its prineiples—in a word, having given no vahd reason for its existence, it will not be more suc- cessful in the brief time that remains of the campaign in conviacing the honest and patriotic farmers and workingme: of the west that they can be benefited by overturning existing fiseal and fina - cial policies und substituting for them W PARTY. But he is | hington and Dodge | the reckless and immeacticablo sohemos which the populists Wropose. The Salt Lake Tfbune suggosts that “‘the ghost dance 1 'the west ought to be given up,” and remarks that evory profession of strefigth which Wenver mado when he started out on his campaign has turned to ashes, ex- copt, possibly, in tW6 or three mining states, As to Weavéy's position regard: ing silver, the 7vbune expresses the opinion that he is ot a friend of that metal, and that having been an original greenbacker he vould do away with both gold and ailver as money and sub- stitute for them an irredecmable paper curren “How the solid hara money men of westorn states can stoop down and worship with such a man and such a creed,” remarks that paper, *is one of those things that would be inexplicable, except that we know that this year tho cholera has been raging, storms have been roaring on land and sen, the carth- quake has been upon the march, vol- canoes that have been a long time ex- tinct have begun to smoke, and the hearts of mon aro porturbed in the same ratio.” Undoubtedly General Weaver, were he in a position to do so, would not hesitate to approve legisla- tion to destroy both the money metals and give the country nothing but a paper currency, asJerry Simpson and other populist leaders proposs shall bo done. The financial scheme of the new party, however, would inevitably lead to this result, and it is astonishing that the people of the silver states who are supporting it do not see this. It is no less surprising that they do not sco that in supporting Weaver they are helping to the success of Clevelund, who is an uncompromising enemy of sitver. The blindness and folly of tho silver states people in this mattor is one of the strango and puzzling features of the campaign. ACCORDING to the report from Omaha published by the Amevican Banker in its last week’s report from Omaha t*collections in tho inte of Ne- braska continue good, and it has been a long time since any complaints have been heard regavding this subject.” The financial reputation of Nebraska and the whole of the large territory in which our jobbers and bankers do busi- ness is of the very highest character Reports similar to this have been heard here for many months past. The farmer is paying for what he buys of the coun- try merchant, the latter is remitting promptly to the jobber and bank obliga: tions are met in a manner that refutes the charge that the people are suf from hard times. The political foree of these facts, in view of the questions now demanding the verdict of the people, is simply overwhelmjng. All arguments designed to prove that the country is not prosperous are wovse. than futile. The uniform report of ‘‘zood collections” presents tho trath dn the simplest and convincing way. 3 mechanic and artisan labor to produce many articies thut the farmer must buy. ‘It is to their interest to'get the highest possibie price for whatever they produce. The farmer,on the other hand,produces foodstuffs that the laborer must buy and it is to the interest of the armer to get the highest possible price for hiis products. The business interes of the two classes are by no means iden- tical. This fact was conclusively shown when the Kuights of Labor avpeared before the last stato ature and de- fed an eight-hour The farmer- s gave them what they wanted empted farm hands from the pro- visions of the law, which has since been adjudged unconstitutional because it sought to accord to one class of people a benefit denied to anothar class. ONE of the best signs of the times in Omaha is the fact that there are very few men out of employment—practically none at all who are capable and willing. It is stated by a gentlemzn conunected with one of the South Owaha packing councerns that his firm finds it diflicult to secure suflicient help in some depart. ments, and he attributes this to the fact that theve is a general demand for labor and very few men out of employment. The enlargement of the business of the ing houses und stock yards has within the past few months given em- ployment to a lurge number of mon in addition to the former force, and in- creased aetivity in the building trades in this city has caused an increasod do- mand for both skilled und unskiiled labor. THE oens of Omaha and Douglas county must not forget that Tom Tuttle wants to be county commissioner, Tut- tle was elected two years ago to the council beeause the republicans of the Fourth ward were not satistied with Wheeler, who had made himself notorious s a member of the old com bine. Instead of cavrying out his pledges Tuttle has boen one of the worst men that has held a seat down in the council during_ the past two years. To elect him now ‘t‘u the position of county commissionaayould bo putting a premium on faithlesggess and jobbe Three dishonest commissioners can do as much mischief " twelve dishonest councilmen.

Wigram and McMabon did not uppear in court, Couusel for Barug in lis plea for his client said that Baring, who is only 24 vears old, was a ganbler and had spont £23,000 before he attained his majority.

She lived her life and met its every call with toe two qualities which malke life all 1t mayv be, love and courago, and theso 1o life’s end. Chicago Mail: Words faintly portray the virtues of o noble and true_a woman, who awid every exactiug scene of life was an ex- ample for all good wives and mothers—onoe whom flattery could ot reach and one whom the honors of earth could not touch with vanity.
