IF JEFF BEDFORD could only get a few more published endorsemeonts from Mis- souri democrats and copperhead jour- nals the scissor clipper of the World- Herald would more completely demon- strate his success as a candidate killer. SENATOR TELLER'S weariness of mind and body does not seem to tell upon him when he breathes the atmosphere of the senate. If he could only be persuaded to remain in the senate chamber his health might 0 improve as to render unneces- sary that contemplated trip to Mexico for recuperation. IF You have pot yet made up your mind how to vote the state ticket mark your ballot in a way that will insure the safety of the maximum freight rate law before the supreme court and also in a wanner that will forever bar the Brad Blaughters, Tom Cookes and Walt Secleys from the management of repub- lican state campaigns. A LO of $80,000 to the state means a loss of $80,000 to the taxpayers of the state. No one profits from such destruc- tion of public property unless it is the contractors who orect public buildings at a larger cost tothe state than the out- lay vequired of them. The difference comes from the pockets of the people, who aro already called upon to bear undue proportions of the burdens. of taxation. Will any self-respecting American citi- aen place his vote at the disposal of any vailroad, cxpress, telegraph or street rail- way company or any other corporation that carries him on its pay roll? Does a man barter away his soul when he hires out to one of these corporations? Ave they not get- ting allthey are entitled to when employes effi- siently and faithfully perforin the task im- posed upon them in the shops, on the train or at headquarters? THE inquest upon the Battle Creek railroad holocaust discloses sufficiont evideave to hold the conductor and en- gineer who failed to observe orders to he investigation of & grand jury. Rail- road men into whose care are entrusted the lives of hundreds of passengers should be compelled to show justitiable sxcuse befere being permitted to shirk responsibility for the results of neglect of duty.

The suocess of the fair in this respect can- not be gainsaid. To provide the multi- sude of visitors with conveniences, re- freshments and amusement bayond the mere inspection of the exhibits was one of the herculean tasks with which the directors courageously grappled. Many things have been learned from the ex- with the concessionaires, but onthe whole that featuré has proven profitable 10 all parties to the arrange- wouts. REPEAL ASSURED, The voling in the senate yesterday re- moves all doubt as to the success of re- peal, and that consummation will very likely be attained within another week at furthes'. There has been some talk about the probable inability of the pealors in the house to mars th forces 1 sufficlent number to e through the biii that will be sent over from the senate, but there need be no apprehension on this score, and it is also pretty safe to say that there will be very littlo time wasted in the house in It is to boe expected, ronrse, that tho silver advocates desire to add to their record of obstruction and delay, but this, cunnot be done as easily in the house us in the senate, and whilo & final consideration will doubtle: shown the silver menif they ask it, there is reason to think that it will be re- stricted. The silver advocates them- selves must see that it is useless to waste more time in discassion, because they cannot hope to theroby help the cause, but rather to injure it. Tt will hardly be questioned that this has been thoe effectof the course cf the silver men in the senate. Since the change in the situation that ensuad immediately upon the un- qualified declavation of the president a fow days ago that he would not listen to any sort of compromise and that he would approve nothing short of the un- conditional repeal of the silver pur- chase clause of the - act of 1890, the has been noted a better fecling in financial and business circles throughout the count Of course there still remained somo uncertainty to put a check upon the return of confi- dence. The firm stand of the president was reassuring, but it did not remove absolutely all doubt as to the result. Now, however, when repeal appears to be assured beyond question, and it is probably only o matter of days when that consmmmation will be reached, it may rousonably be expected that the manifostations of returning confidence in the business world will become more pronounced and general. Certainly this should be the result if there has not been a very great miscalculation as to the effeet of the silver policy in producing and prolong- ing financial distrust and business de- pression. Unless the most intolligent and conservative judgment of the coun- try has erred in attributing lurgely to this poliey the monstary and commer- cial disturbance of the past six months the enactment of a bill discontinu- ing the purchase of silver by the treasury ought to be very speedily followed by a vigorous resumption of business activity in every part of the country. 1t is the general opinion among practical men at the commereial centors that such will be the case. It is not to be expected that ‘‘good times” will be everywhere inaugurated at once, for complete recovery from hali a year of depression cannot possibly be accom- plished at a bound, but what is promised by those whose judgment in such mat- ters is worthy of confidence is a reac- tion in the direction of good times that will bring the country to that condition as s00n as it can safely r it. Ttneed hardly be said that every interest, that capital and labor alike, will most heartily welcome such a change. THE COMING TALIF " FIGHT. Tho next great contest in congress, it is promised, will be over the tariff. It is said that the ways and means com- mittee will be ready by November 20 to report a new tariff- bill, but it appears provable that congress will adjourn or take a recess before that time, so that a bill may not be presented until after the beginning of the regular session, which will be December 4. According to some: information having a claim to be re- garded as trustworthy the bill being framed will carry out the idea of a tariff for revenue only, and it is stated that the republicans are preparing to fight such a measure, though they will make no serious effort to keep the McKinley law as it is, Onthe other hand, there is the authority of Senator Hill of New York that the measure which the ways and means committee will report will novbe strictly in ac- cord with the revenue only principle. 1n a specch made by the senator a few days ago in Brooklyn he ‘said, while disclaiming authority to speuk for the committee as to the details of the new bill, some of its gencral features may safely be anticipated. He said that raw materials needed in our manufactures will bo placed upon the freo list, and that the ngcossavies of life will be ‘‘substantially (vee.” “In fixing the necessary tariff upon man- ufactured articles,” said Senator Hill, “‘due consideration will be given to the difference in wages between this and other countries, and such dif- ferences will be equalized in the rates imposed here in the general interest of the labor of our country.” The senator said further that “there will ba no un- just discrimination anywhere tolerated among its provisions,” If the new tariff bill is framed upon the lines suggested by the New York senator it must observe to some extent the principle of protection, and will not, therefore, be in full accord with the doctrine ef the Chizago platform. There is reason to believe that Mr. Hill has not misstated what the new measure, inits genoral features, will be. The bill which the ways and means committee will report will have received the approval of the administration, it is entircly safe to say, before it is presented. It is well known thut the president does not accept the doctrine of the demoeratic national platform that protection is unconstitutional. He has let this bs known on move than one oc- ion. Asoneof his organs has said, bofore taking his stasd upon the plat- form prepared for him at Chicago he de- liberately kicked out of it the plack which Mr. Neal had inserted therein. This he did in the address to the mass meeting in New York when he was notified of his nomianation, and in his in- augural address, referring 1o the tariff, Mr. Cieveland said: *‘While there should be no surrender of principle, ou- task must be undertaken wisely and without heedless vindictiveness. Our mission is mot punishment, but the rectification of wrongs.” in these utterances of the president, broadly in- terpreted by those who assume to speak for him, the industrial interests of the country have the assurance that no de- structive changes from the oxisting policy will bo approved by the administration, but there remains the uncertainty as to whether Mr, Cleveland will go to his party or compel the party to come to him. Experience warrants the beliel that the latter will be the case. At any rate, however, a prolonged contest over tariff logislation is to be expected, for it is hardly possiblo that any bill which the democrats may frame will be allowed to pass without vigorous republican opposition to some of its features. DON'T! DON'I!! DON'T!H! Don't forget to register if you have not already done so. Nobody will be allowed to vote at the coming election who has not registered this year. Dou't take any stock in Bachelor's denials and affidavits, He isa dead-beat and an unmitigated fraud. Don’t forget that Peter Schwenck has an unsavory record in every position he has ever occupied and has been mixed up in transactions that are prohibited by the criminal code. Don't allow yourself to bs bamboozled into voting for the $1,500,000 bond propo- sition. It is an impudent piece of impos- ture bogotton by jobbers and schemers under the pretense that the money is to be used for acanal, when they know that it cannot legally bo used for anything except buying out the electric light plant or the waterworks. Don’t make a fool of yourself by throw- ing away your vote for anybody who has no chance to be elected. Don't allow your employers whether they are corporations or private indi- viduals to pawn your vote or bavter it away under pretoxt that you will pro- mote their interest by sacrificing your manhood and independenc Don't vote for any candidate for any position whom you know to bo incompe- tent, inefficient or dishonest. The first duty of every good citizen is to exercise protection of so- ion of the public Don't give credence to the brazen de- nials of Sheriff Bennett and his depu- ties. Every charge that has been made hy this paper concerning the scandals in the jail is substantially true and can be proven whenever the courts or commis- sioners call for proof. Don’t imagine that Hascall is running for mayor for glory, He is the shrewd- est and most active campaigner in this county. He will pick dollars from the trees and promise every man that votes for him a $2,500 office or an easy berth with 0o work and good pay. He will pray with the pious, sing with the siren and flip half dollars with the bartender. He will kiss the babies and their mothers, sisters, cousins and aunts, and hug their husbands, brothers and sons as if he was a rich old uncle just return- ing from Australia veady to make hi will and rest his bones in the yad. Don't forget thit the supreme court of Nebraska must be rescued from the grip of the corporate monopolies if the liber- ties of our people and their free institu- tions are to be preserved. Don't vote for a man for mayor who cannot give up his whole time to the duties of his office and is engazed in any business that can be built up by the favor of corporations or ruined by their displeasure, grave- A CREDITABLE SHOWING, The taxpayors of Douglas county have no grounds for complaint as regards the management of our county affairs by a republican board of commissioners.

DECLARATURY LEGISLATION, The main distinction between the re- peal bill reported from the senate finance committee and that passed by the house and known as the Wilson bill is that while the latter simply provides in plain torms for the repeal of the silver pur- chasing clause of the Sherman law, the former, in addition thereto, aims t give the advocites of the free coinage of sil- ver an assurance that the government is not hestile t) silver currency as such. In the words of the Voorhees bill, it is hereby declared” to be the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and silver as money, and to maintain the parity in value of the coins of the two metals. And *if is hereby further declared” that the efforts of the government should he directed toward the establishment and maintenance of a safe system of bimetallism. The senate proposes by legislation to declare cer- tain things to be facts. Will such de- ola-atory legislation make the facts any more true or hold the government to its established policy wny more strietly? This is by no meuns the first time that mere mssertions of fact or of opinion have been inclied in statutes passed by congress. Onawof tho most celebrated instances of detldfatory logislation was that which wasa, attached by Senator Stephen A. Dougrlns to the famous Kan- sas-Nebraska Wil. The bill for the organization of & new territory was in- troduced in the éfdinary form, but when it emerged from the committee on torri- tories it had s mew clause, which at- tempted to déclaro that the principles of squatter sovereignty had already been established in the compromise of 1850, It further declaied that the poliey of the federal government was not to interfore with matters pertaining to slavery in the territories. Noamount of congres- sional declarations could alter the fact that those principles had not been know- ingly proclaimed in 1850, nor were they able to confirm the policy of the govern- ment as to slavery, although the then existing congress had been of one mind on the subject. A similar declaration of policy was in 1800 incorporated into the original Sher- man silver purchase law and is now upon the statute books of the United States. It asserfs that it is “‘tho estab- lished policy of the United States to maintain the two metals—gold and sil- ver—on a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio, or such ratio as may be provided by law.” 'The object of this clause was to avoid arousing in the minds of the silver men any fears that congress intended to legislate against the continued use of silver as monoy. How far it succeeded in accomplishing its purpose has been scen in the agita- tion and proposed legislation of the past few months, The declaratory 1s0s of the Voor- hees bill can have no beneficial results except to show where the present con- gross stands in tho matter, and that is y known. Tt binds no one. It can have no influence the action of future cong Like the preamble of a resolution it 15 w mero recital with- out vital connection with the subject matter of the enactment. Like the preamble of a resolution it has no legis- lative force and it might with more pro- priety be made a preamble to the bill. What the policy of the government now is, is & known fact: what it 1s to bein the futuro is beyoud the power of the Filty-thivd congress. Far better to pass a vepeal bill without any misleading or declarator; is| over usel JUDG! not claim to be an eminent jurist, but he is a sleck worker when it comes to,politics. That much must be concededs - In his manifesto to voters the judge roundly scores the non- partisan judicial movement, but that did not prevent him from taking in the sit- uation as regards’ duplex nominations. He has started a,very ingenious flank movement agaiast, his doubly-nominated competitor, Baxter, by having himselt endorsed on a petition as “‘the peopl nonpartisan candidate.” The people in this instance were his own marriage- picture clerk, Walkup, and Justice Edgerton, “‘with’ eighteen others” as Allen Rpot used .o sign for the people as representative of -the defunct green- back pavty. It is' a neat scheme any way, and the judge ought to apply for a trade mark for the new people’s non- pirtisan party of which he is sole inven- tor, incubator and proprietor.

On the result of the vote for mayor will largely depend the suceess of Omaha for the next two years. The re- slection of Mayor Bemis will give confi- dence and stability; the election of Jeff Bedford would produce doubt and un- certainty; while the election of Hascall would bring positive disaster. BEDFORD is an extensive shipper. Haif of his business is with the rail- roads. He is now under obligations to them. He will continue to be so if elected mayor. A man cannot do his duty as mayor and at the same time re- ceive special business favors from the railways. Worse aud Moro of Lt Glube-Democrat.

Many and various are the opinions in re gard to the political aspects of the move- ments of European navies in the Maditer. ranean, but there is reason to believe that more political importance has been attreib- uted to them than they really desorve, These open demonstrations of naval power aroquitens likely to conduce to the anter- ests of peace as to in showing how great a destruction could be accomplishod by the modern sea monsters that will be vx hibited to all Europe at Toulon and Taranto. Whatever hopes the French may ontortain in regard to the Russian alliance, tho czar has probably little disposition to maka the Toulon display a demonstration agatnst - many. Should hostilitios arise botween rmany and Russia the fate of the war would bo decided on tand, and the flests of neither nation would have much share in the struggle. A German ficet might sorve to block up the Russian n in the Balie, but even if & conflet should take place between the two it woula have small influence upon the result of a war. So, too, in the event of another war butwoen Franco and Germany it would be decided, as often bofore, on the banks of the Rhino or the Danube or on the plains of Belgium and the navies would have as liitle as ever to do with it 1f these demonstrations at Toulon have any more significance than . mere ex change of international courtesies their real object is Englana. Both Rus and France have protentions in various quasters of the globe that are antagonistic to the intorests of England: and thesc pretentions, if as- sailed, could be offectually mawmtained only by powerful fleets. Assuming tl the re- union at Toulon means more than & wmere interchange of officinl compliments, gland responds to it by sending a floot to the Italian wators of the Mediterranean. Russin and Frauce are given to understand that England, with such naval forces as Italy can bring to the alliance, will not permit the balance of power in the Moditerranean to be shaken nor the openvoute to her possessions in India menaced. *"s Count Taaffe's bill to extend the suffrage in Austris may be said to be one of the re- sults of the successful struggle for universal suffrage in Belgiun last spring. From Brus- sels th tion was immediately trans- ferred to Vienna, and all through the sum- mer meotings were heid and an active propuganda carried on to secure for the lower classes in Austria what had been won by the Belginn workingmen. There was, of course, the latent threat all along to resort to the same methods of public dis- order and a universal strike as had been employed in Belgium. It was doubtless to head off auy movement of that kind that the government decided to come for- ward with the appearance of granting spon- taneously a good part of the popular d mand. Naturally, this action has been sub- jected to the usual comments made upon concessions of that sort. The ‘‘entering- wedge” argument is heard both from alarmed conservatives, who see the end of all things at hand, and from delighted rad- icals, who say that, having begun the de- scent of Avernus, the government caunot stop till 1t lands at the vory bottom. In like manner the attitude of Roman firmness isadvised by some of the same two sots of extremists—uho conssrvatives asserting that it will never do to concede anything, even if just, to vopular clamor, and the wilder radicals standing out for the ‘*‘all-or- nothing” principle. Meanwhile the govern- ment has to steer a difeult course as best it can, one of its prime mecessities being to prevent any domestic dis- cord that might lessen the prestige of the Tripple Allance. The Triple Alliance, in fact, has become a sort of gov- ernment avove the governmont, compelling both Italy and Austria to adopt financial and milita measures which they would not think of if left to themselves. The chief result of the general election for the lower house of the Swedish Diet has beer: to strengthen the moderate free trade or center party, whose forty votes will hold the balance ina house of 228 memt be- tween the old conservative protectionists and the free trade radicals, the former num- bering about eighty-five and the latter about 100. The radicals havo gained a good many scattered seats in different paris of the country, but as a set-off to these gains they have sustained serious losses in the two chief cities of the kingdom, In Gothenburg they have lost nine seats out of ten to the moderates, and in Stockholm all the five scats of one of the five divisions into which the capital is divided. The most significant featuve of all is that among those defeated at Stockholm is the foremost and ablest representative ot advanced radicalism in Sweden, Herr Hedin, who was actually left at the bottom of the poll. He owes his defeat to hls openly ex- prossed sympathy with the democratic party in Norway and to the national spirit awal- ened in Sweden by the violent usterances of the radical press. A correspondent of a Loudon newspaper says: *“I'ho vast major- ity of the Swedish people recognize the ne- cessity of strengthening the hands of tho government in view of the vital crisls which the Norwegian radicals may at any moment provoke. It is this consideration which has induced & considerable body of tne liberal electorate to sacrifice party shibboleths to the paramount cause of the maintenance of the union and to endorse the action of the loaders of the moderate free trade party in joining hands with the governwent at this umportant juncture.” W In & recent report the British vice cousul at Croustadt dwells at length upon the con- stant impoverishmeunt of the Russian pe: antry. § Iesaysthat it is painfully evident thut the efforts of the government to ameli- orate the condition of the rural classes by the establishment of peasants’ banks, the remission of arvears, aid in money and grain| and io other ways, have not been attended with success, Tue economic decadence of she poasautry may be said to have begun with their emancipation, aud it has become Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. 5.
