The country is to be congratulated over the fact that prosperity is not waiting the beck and call of the senate. THE disappointed homeseekers from the Cherokee Strip should visit Ne- braska. The finest land in the conntry can be had easier than the sun-parched wastes of Oklahoma. Free land is not always the choapest. Ir THE democratic county convention at Beatrice is an earnest of what is in store for democracy in Nobraska the big gathering at Lincoln on October 4 will be the most interosting convention in the history of the state. —_— IF THE county conventions are neg- lected there will be small necesgity for crying over the results at the state con- vention.

There is good horse senso as well as hog sense in this new regulation. Meat cators in this sity aro particularly benefited by it. CONSIDERING the numbor of lawyers that have been importuned to play po- litical assassin for the corporations and Impeached state officials, it is very ored- Itable to the profession that so few have shown & willingness to assume such & despicable role. Up to this time the whole number of pronounced candidates can be counted on one's fingers. THE defeat of Judge Maxwell means the loss of all the ground gained from the corporations by the passage of the maximum freight rate law. The oppo- neuts of the chief justice, whose Jjudicial fairness was nover challenged except by the ringsters and corporation emis- saries, are practically engaged in a scheme of nullification. It will be the tault of the people if they succeed. 1 AUNIF I BANK (UPTCY LAW house judiciary committ tho bankenpt s the se du d it is d A fow modificatio nsider which con, oXpoy roceivin ure 1 » the house, s cnown as the Torrey bill anl has been hafore the eountey for several Nomoasure ever is what is years. propos congressional netion receivod move care n.

Ixperience with stato bankrupte laws has been distinetly unsatisfactory and must always be so. Not only do such laws lack uniformity, but the pro- toction they give is necossarily restrictod and inadequate. The framers of the constitution apprehended tho necessity for a uniform bankruptey law when they gave congress tho authority to © legislation, and exporience has amply demonstratod the wisdom of their foresight. The trouble with such laws in the past has been that they were not wisely and carefully framed 8o as to secure, as nearly as possible; exact justice. There wore various objections to the last general act relating to bank- ruptey, among them boing the great expense involved in its exocution, the opportunity it afforded for delay by which the cost of proccodings under it was increased, and its complex charac- tor. It wae a highly advantageous law for the officials charged with its execu- tion, particularly the United States marshals, but very far from being a beneficial law for those whom it was in- tended to benefit. The Torrey bill guards against the faults of the last law and was framed with an intelligent un- dorstanding of tho defeet of pre- ceding acts as well as of what was necessary to the requirements of the present conditions of business. It provides for a thoroughly practical, common sense system, and that can bo promptiy executed and offors no oppor- tunities for expensive delay, and the cost of which will not be burdensome. Its purpose is to socuro esact justice bo- tween creditor and debtor, and there is every reason to believe that this would be its uniform result. The practically unanimous demand of the business intercsts for a national bankruptey law, voiced in resolutions adopted by commercial organizations, in petitions and through the public press, ought to receive a favorablo response from congress with as little delay as possible. camo 33 inte to a na wast "nest such of the o business THE SUGAR BOUNTY. It is possible that the arguments of the representatives of the Louisiana sugar industry may have some influence upon the democrats in congress favor- able to a retention of tho bounty on sugar, but it is to be apprehended that the bounty will have to go, the preva- lent idea among the democrats boing 1o puta moderate duty on sugar. It ap- pears that the sugar industry of Louis- iana has largely increased under the stimulating effect of the bounty, the production now excoeding 3,000,000 tons ayear. The capital interested is said to exceed $100,000,000 and the industry gives employment to a great deal of labor, more than half a mil- lion - people, it is stated, de- pending upon it for thoir daily bread. The planters are understood to be unani- mous in wanting the bounty retained and, of course, they have with them the large number of people who earn a sub- sistence in the sugar industry, The good effects of tho bounty have been equally apparent in the development of the sugar beet industry, but, as this is not in the south, it cannot bo expected that the facts of its growth and the benefit that acerues to the farmer, nor the promiso that not a great many yoars hence, if this industry wore proporly encouraged, we shxuld produce enough sugar to supply the hoso demand, will have any weight with a democratio con- gross, However, nodiserimina‘ion can e made in legislation botween the cane sugar of Louisiana and tho baot sugar of Nebraska. 85 far as the question of bounty iy concerned thoy must fare alike, Undoubtedly the democratic Now York nes accurately foreshadows what will be done when it advises the imposition of a small duty on raw sugar, the duty on refined to be maintained, ostimating that a duty of half a centapound on each would yield at least $15,000,000 in revenue. “‘As for the southern planters,” says the Times, “wo do not see how they can reasonably hope for any discrimination in their favor. Ifa revenue duty shall be im- posed on raw sugar, that duty will be protective incidentally so far as thoy are concorned, but pub- lic opinion s pretty clearly opposed to the payment to them of any- thing in addition in the form of a bounty, They have made a good deal of money out of the old bounty tariff and the new bounty, and the people are not inclined to increase their accumula- tions hereafter by submitting to the ex- action of & special tax for the benefit of their purses and plantations.” There can be no doubt that this reflects the general democratio idea regarding the sugar bounty, and such being the case itis entirely safe to predict that this help to the development of the sugar in- dustry in the United States will have to go, and with it, of course, & con- siderable part of the industry.

GIVE THE PROIECT FAIR PLAY. Wo cannot comprehend why there is neeessity of any action oa the part of the eity or county to cancel the Nebraska Central bonds at this time. The fact that these bonds have not been earned and eannot therefore be issued leaves the track clear for the canal project. But inasmuch as it is now proposed to vote bonds for the canal under the pro- vision of the or that gives Omaha the right to acquire wator works, the cancellation of the unearned Central bonds cuts no figure. Bvorybody knows that the depression of the money markot made it impossible to raise capital for the Nebraska Con- tral road or any other project this sum- mer. It may be impossiblo for the pro- jectors to raiso the nceessary funds this year, and if so the whole schome will go by the board by the 1st of May next. If it has to be abandoned the loss will fail entirely upon the promoters of the enter- prise. The city will not be out a dollar. The company paid the election expenses and all other expenses incurred in sub- mitting the proposition. Even the op- ponents of the subsidy concede that it would have given Omaha o great lift had it been carvied out on the lines on which it was projected. The fact that the Towa roads were all opposed to it shows their fear that the hundred miles of frov, road in Towa would have opened the way for formidable compotition, and such competition between the lines run- ning t6 Chicago and the outlet to the scaboard by way of Duluth and Lake Superior. Thero is still a bare possibility that some of the trunk lines running nortl may advance the fundsand got an on- trance into Omaha and South Omuha by way of the Contral terminal. Woe say it is possible, although perhaps the cond tions of the money market still remain unfavorable. In any event no harm can come from leaving the Nebraska Cen- tral managers in position to make an- other effort. loss able ro sug the effec od, Jevel deve st riitable ! IF MAXWELL is to be turned down because he voted “guilty” on the articles of impeachment that were presented against three state offi- cers the right man to fill his place would be Judge Hayward of Otoe. The honorable judge volunteered in defense of the impeached before ever the logislature had preferred the charges before the supreme court, and as one of the attorneys employed to defend the accused he managed to make them out to be the most honorable, eflicient and upright set of officials that had ever been entrusted with the custody of public property and the supervision of state institutions. The eminent Otoe statesman actually de- clared that the $500 junket of the statoe officials on & pretended tour of inspec- tion was a most sublime effort of benevo- lence in behalf of suffering’ humanity, and his eloquent tribute to the high integrity of the venitentiary contractor drew a torrent of salt water from the eyes of Bill Dorgan. Really, if the heroes of the cell house job have to bo vindicated by the republicans of Ne- braska we would say by all means nomi- nate the man who had the courage to stand up and extol the lofty virtues and blameless conduct of the state house triumvirate. THE suggestion which a Dodge county republican makes that every republican county convention shall send pledgod delogates to tho state convention is both timely and right. A dolegate is simply a representative to voice the sentiment and carry out tho wishes of the members of Ins party. If he is allowed to go un- pledged and uninstructed he is liable to go astray under the pretense that he did not know what the men who elected him desired him to do. The only way to make sure of compliance with the wishes of the party is to instruct the delegates who to vote for and what to oppose.
