But Peffor prefors not to see it that way, IT1s not so long ago that a great noise was raised by democratic organs about listening to the demands of manu- facturers interested in securing higher import duties before the republicans ventured to frame the McKinley bill. Now the fways and means committeo has taken to giving hearings to im- porters and agents of foreign producers interested in sccuring lowor duties, This is o distinction without much difference, —_— A TOWERMAN has been held by the cor- oner's jury to answer for eriminal negli- gence which resulted in the terrible Long Island railvoad disaster, while the | company who employed an inexperienced man, paying him $40 per month for working twelve hours a day, and who had the tower placed where the signul could be seen only with difticulty let off with a mild word ot censuve.

It will be due to American resources and American | enterprise which will enable us to com- pete with the world while supporting a government in all its legitimate needs. | kota, THIS FALL'S KLECTIONS, This is an off year in state politics Only thirtesn out of the forty-four states will hold state olections--namely: Towa, Nebraska, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa- chusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Da- Virginia and Wisconsin., Dut five of theso states—lowa, Massachu- sotts, Ohio, Wiseonsin and Virginia wiil elect full tickets. Eight states will choose judges or legislatures, and three of the legislatures to be chosen will elect United States senators—Iowa, Kentucky and Virginia. Tho greatest political interest will un- doubtedly center in Ohio, where, more | than anywhero elso, the contest will bo made upon the tariff issue. The repub- lican candidate in the Buckeye state, Governor McKinley, represents, per- haps, more completely than any other man in the country, the poliey of protec- tion as it is embodied in the tarift that bears his name, and opposed to’him is Mr. Neal, the author of the plank in the democratic national platform which declaves that protection is not only fraud and robbery, but also that it is unconstitutional. The fight in that state will, thorefore, be made squarely upon this issue, and the verdict of the voters of Ohio will exert an influence national in its scope. As yet the campaign has not fully opened, but it will be active within the next two woeks, and so far as can be judged from prosent indications the chances of success are largoly with the republicans. Governor MeKinley is a most able and aggressive leader of great personal pop- ularity. There is no serious factional strifo in the republican party and the only danger is in overconfidence. After Ohio the elections in To Wisconsin and Massachusetts, all of which states now have democratic governovs, will share about equally in the interest of politicians. The outlook in Towa is now favorable to vepublican success. The reasons for this have already been pre- sented in these columns and need not be repeated. All that seoms necessary to republican victory this year in the Hawkeye state is thorough organization and aggrossive work National que tions will necessarily occupy the largest amount of attention in the campaign, and upon these the republicans of Towa are in the majority. Wisconsin has twice successively elected a demo- cratic governor, and last year gave its electoral vote to Cleve- land, who had « plurality of a little more than 6,000, It must be regarded asan uncertain state this year, with the chances somewhat in favor of the demo- orats, who have the political machinery of the state in their control, but it 18 by no means to be regarded as a foregono conclusion that the democrats will win there. Local influences which largely contributed todemocratic success during the last four years will be less potential this year, while the general conditions will have greater effect upon the minds of voters. Massachusetts ought. to elect the entire republican tickot this year, because she is one of the states most largely concerned in preventing a revision of the tariff on free trade lines.” In the last two state e ions she has chosen a democratic governor while electing republicans to all the other state offices and a republi- can legislature. Last November she gave Harrison a plurality of 26,000, Massachusetts is a republican stato be- yond question, but Governor Russell, who has been twice clected, is a man of extraordinary popularity, and if he runs again, as now seems assured, he may bo again elocted. A great deal of political interest will be felt in New York, which elects both branches of the legislature and all the principal state off with the exception of governor. Tho republicans are hopeful of carrying the state, counting upona reaction of public sentiment by reason of the high- handed course of the democrats, at the instigation of Senator Hill, in stealing the upper branch of the last legislature, and of the purpose of the democratic machine to nominate for justico of the court of appeals the man who did the bidding of Hill in the scheme for steal- ing the state senata. The democrats are very strongly intrenched, howey inthe Empire state, whilo the repub- lican organization is not so thor- ough as to warrant absolute con- fidence in the success of that party. It is fortunate, in view of the financial and business situation, that the public mind this year will not be altogether diverted from the consid- eration of practical affairs by the de- mands of politics, but there will be quite enough of the latter to maintain popular interest in political affairs, rs WHY BANISH THE INDLAN? Advices from Washington tell us that Congressman Mercor has heard of somo protests by the citizens of Omaha against the continued presenco of the companies of Indian soldiers at the fort near <his city, and he has rushed up to the War department to request the scc- retary 0 have the Indians removed. There has been some agitation to secure the disbandment of the Indian troops, and this is probably another move orig- inating in the sume quarter to make the Indian odious to the department as a means of bringing’ it over to their side of the question. They think, no doubt, that by making it hot for the Indian wherever he is located they can thus the War department much trouble that it will gladly seok volief by discharging all the Indian solc 3 Whence these protests, peoplo who bave boon living in Omaha right along | ave not informed. They have heard nothing of them, although a fow resi- dents near tho fort may have written to Mr. Morcer complaining of depredations in their orchards or barnyards. But the | Indian has been no worse in this respect | than his white fellow soldiers. The sol- diers have always caused some incon- venience to the neighbors ncar the fort and will continue to do so whether the Indian remains or goes. According to the police records of this city it will be found that the Indians have on the whole conducted themsel ve even better than the average. White sol- diors are frequent visitors at the jail, cause 50 where they usually register as drunk or disturbing the peace. The Indians on the other hand have succceded in gen- orally obeying the law. The officers of | the army are almost unanimous in thoir approval of the Indian as a soldier. So long & ho behaves himself as well as his fellow soldiers there is no reason why he should not be let alone. ACTION OF THE BAR KENDORSED, In appointing Judge Edward R. Duflie 0 the vacancy on the district bench ereated by the resignation of Judge Davis, Governor Crounse has carried out the recommendation of the great body of attorneys who practice bofore the bar of this district. This is a fitting return of the compliment which the bar paid to the judgment of the governor in its unanimous en- dorsement of Judge Walton. It offers, moreover, a practical proof that Goy- ernor Crounse is in full accord with the established usage of filling the bench of this district with a nonpartisan judi- ciary. Judge Duffle is to be congratu- lated upon the opvortunity thus afforded him to show his, capabilitics as a trial juage before the' people aro called upon 10 endorse him at the polls, IN THE INTEREST OF PENSIONERS, Under the present practice of the pen- sion office certain evidence and other papers deposited in that office by an ap- plitant for a ponsion ave practically inaccessible to such applicant or his at- torney or representative, and this rule has caused a great Geal of well-founded complaint, Of course it is not strictly observed inall cases. Under sufficicnt pressure tho pension officials may por- mit an inspection of such papers and even furnish a copy of them, but the rule permits them to exer- cise an arbitrary will in the matter and this has long been regarded as o griev- ance which ought to be remedied. Senator Allen of this state has intro- duced a bill, which is now in the hands of the committee on pensions, providing that it “shall be the right of any ap- plicant for a pension, his duly authorized agent or atwrney, or any senator or representative in congress from any state or distriet in which such applicant, shall reside, to personally inspect and take or have furnished to him exemplified copies of all affidavi evidence, testimony, re- ports of examining surgeon's inspee- tors, the adjutant general of the United States, or of any state, or any other agent, person or representative of any department or bureau thoveof, and this right shall in no manner be denied or evaded by the custodiun of such afi- davits, evidence, testimony or reports.” The charge for such copies is not to exceed 5 cents for eyery 100 words, in- cluding the attestation thereof. There ought not to be any objection to this, which proposes to give no undue privi- lege to applicants for pension, but will enable them or those whom they may authorize to represent them to know that their applications and other papers are in proper form and ecorrect,and it is presumed that no one will question their right to do this. The proposed iegisla- tion would devolve additional work upon the pension office, but it would be paid for this, so that the government would not be put to any additional expense, There is another matter in the in- terest of pensioners which may per- tinently be referred to in this conne tion, and that is the recent order of the commissioner of pensions changing and modifying the rule tablished a short time ago regarding the' ro- examination of cases under section 2 of the act of June 27, 1890. Under that rule pensions were suspended in advanco of allowing pensioners a hearing, a most anomalous and unjust proceeding, which was not approved even by northern democratic members of congress. The secretary of the in- terior and the commissioner of pensions defended their course on the ground that 1t was instigated and approyed by President Cleveland; but however this may be, the widespread expression of indignation at so extraordinary a policy, which practically declaved a pensioner guilty without the evidence, had its effect, and hereafter pensioners will not be dropped from the rolls without a hearing. In every caseof the suspen- sion or reduetion of the pension the pen- sioner will have sixty days in which to show his right to the pension ho is re- ceiving. Everybody, including the honest vet- erans themselves, desires that the pen- sion rolls shall be purged of thosoe who are not entitled to the bounty of the governmen', but the demand is equally general that this work shall be done fairly, 80 that no one who hasa just claim to a pension shall be denied it. —— AN OCCASIONAL glimmer of common senso will crop out in even such a con- firmed old fiatist as Allen Root. It is not Allen’s fault, however, and he must not bo blamed. But wh he declares | the bane and poison that is killing the populist party is a multiplicity ot candi- dates, Allen struck near the truth than he imagined. If there is any one amony the local populists who does not pect to run for some office within the gift of the people ho has as yet failed to deelare himself. Most of the recruits in this vicinity bave been secured simply because they have been led to bolieve that the chances of attaining publi oftice might be bettered by the change in politics, Many of them have boon sceking office at the hands of the othe: parties all their lives and now they intend to continue the search in the ranks of the populists. But the local populists are between two horns of a dilemma. A multiplicity of candidates is killing the party, and if the party tries to head off the multiplicity of can- didates it will kill itself. AN ACT passed by the last legislature of the state of New York provided for the appointment of two agents to secure for the counties which had been defray- ing the expenses of supporting the in- sane in their districts 4 reimbursement of the money paid out, in whole or in part, in all cases where relatives or friends were liable therefor. Itis de- sired to have these accounts settled be- fore the new statute, which places the care of all dependent insane persons in the hands of the state without county intervention, goes into effect next Octo- ber, and under which it is expected that THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: wWRDNESDAY, EVIEMBER 6, 1593, 1o one whose duty ik is to defray the cost of maintenwhdd will be abls to wvoid his proper cériétibution. The in- vestigations of theiagents referred to have confirmed thée impresston there were many | pétsons legally liable who were evading the burden of sup- porting insano rolatives. The practice not only results in:injustice to the tax- payers, but also in'phcing many of the harmloss insano into] stato institutions for the veryspurpose.of shifting the bur- den of their support upon the public in general. According fo the reports there are now 400 inmates of state hospitals for whose support reimbursement is being made to county officials, and the work of thesg agents is oxpected to double this number. This condition of affairs cannot be confined to the limits of any one state, and 1t is highly prob- able that the people of other localities are being imposed upon in a like mannerd The success of the New York statute ought to commend it to legislatures throughout the union. THE rewspapers of Chicago are right in lino with their local movement fora nonpartisan judiciary. Even the Chicago Times, the organ of Mayor Harrison, goes far enough to say this mueh: “Cook county will not have upon the bench men of low aims and small attainments. It wants men of high character, of in- dustry, of intelligence, and, above all, of integrity, and if a demoeratic ticket is not from first to last worthy of support it will be without support.” A LITTLE placard on a railway ticket oflice can create considerable commotion in railway circles. -~ Porhaps it would have been equally profitable for the other roads to have met that $12.75 rate toChicago instead of having it reseinded. YES, the rate is the thing. When the scheme to risk the lives of thousands of school children at the Worla’s fair falls through it will be convenient to blame the failure to the refusal of the railroads to make a favorable rate. in an “if* Any one will promise to go to Chicago “if a proper railrond rate can be sccured,” provided, of course, that he remains the judge of what is a proper rate.
