Ruclid seems to forget that the vote on the rump ticket will at the same time dis- close how few democrats of his variety there are.

The mail which it carries is taken past Omaba by way of Fremont to Lincoln and then back to this city. There is no reason whatever why the cltles of Fremont and Lincoln should enjoy better mail facilities than Omaha, The Burlington in particular, which has the United States mall contract, ought to be compelled to supply a service west of Chicago equal to the best.

Victor Hugo tells us in his famo volume, “T'he History of a Crime,” that the eclection of Louls Napeleon to the | presidency of the Freneh republic was ® | the first step toward the erection of i ! perlalism upon its rufus. What was true relating to the destruction of popu- Iar scif-government in France applies 3| with equal force to all countries that permit despotism in any form under | Whatever pretext to usurp the right of | [ the people to govern themselyes. In the struggle between the people of | Nebraska and the confederated corpora- hmn- history only repeats itselt, Up to | this time our reference to the Nebraska le ar and (he railrond despotism has been regarded by many well-meaning people and many patriotic citizens as an over- drawn assumption of a state of affuirs that dves not really exist. This class of | people will doubtless be surprised if not | startled by the open admission on the part of the Majors emmpaign monagers | that rallroad domination is not only | legitimate, but essentinl to the well-be- Hw of the state and its people. ; The mouthpiece of Mr. Majors makes bold to assert in | appears in Thu World-Her | that Mr. Holdrege is fully justi lexercising dletatorial powers over the {people of Nebrs The exact lan [ gunie used is ¢ ¢ lonest man in | Nebraska recognizes the rvight of Mr, Holdrege to defend the property which is put in his charge against whatever il forces would destroy its value, We e further told that 30,000 people of moderate means in New England own the Burlington railroad in this stat 1 My, Holdrege would stand idly by and see these 50,000 eastern stockholders injured in the value of their property without any good to Nel manly man in the state would « him for such a cour So Nebraska must have a lord pro tector to Keep her from exercising sovereign right to self-government! people must abdicate their ht choose thelr own rulers and ropresenta tives to Mr, Holdrege in the interest of the 30,000 stockholders of moderate means in New nd and the half o dozen multi-millio who have od colossal wealth from the tribute have levied upon the people of this asonable man will deny that ”uldr(‘;.l' has a right to protect the sts of the Burlington railroad and its stockholders by all legitimate [ means at his command.

To gain what to them appe: to be some slight tempora party advantage the republican man s have induced republican state and county officials to abuse their anthority | and to attempt to misinterpret the pro- visions of the law for the deception or inconvenience of the voter. Two points are cleared up by Judge Ferguson's deeisions. The first is that of party designations. The court holds that these designations must be such as indicate the true character of candidate after whose name the; e are | placed. Certain legisk ive nominees of tion in this county withdrew from contest only to find that other names were immediately certified by petition as people’s independent candidates for the placss which th had vacated. the pear that the full ticket of that part convention was still in the field.

It would also enable ambitious aspivants for office to anticipate the conveution by filing petitions in advance and thus stealing the party designation. The other polnt decided relates to the form of the official ballot. The copy sent out by the secretary of state sty out in one line all the designations of candidates who have recelved nomina- tions of more than one party. The designation after the name of Judge Holcomb therefore read “democrat people’s independent.” This the court held is a similar attempt at fraud, and can have no other effect than to de- celve and confuse the voter.

Each of these is entitled to have the only way to accomplish this is to liave the designations printed after the | candidates’ names on separate lines. The soundness and logic of these de- clsions cannot but appeal to every fair- minded person and will be admitted | leven by the most intense partisans so soon as they emerge from the excite- ment of the campalgn, ONLY A FEW DOLLARS MORE Everybody that attended the republi- can state convention held in this city on the 22d day of August will remember the dramatic disclaimer of Thomas J. | Majors of the chavge that connects him | with the or incident and the issue {of a frandulent certificate vouching for Taylor's services to the end of the ses- sion of the legislature of 1801, In the presence of 1,000 delegates and more than 2,000 spectators Majors raised his hand to heaven and ealled God to wit- ness that he knew nothing about the | plot to abduet Taylor, and boldly as- serted that Taylor was entitled to full to the end of the ses as he a d sixty-three days exclusive of Su s and recesses, These brazen false hoods have been reiterated from the stump in almost every town and village of the state. A more impudent piece of imposture never liad been attempted by any man seeking the suffrages of an in | telligent people. Majors' assertions re- garding the Taylor voucher are dis- proved by testimony that cannot be con- troverted, namely the journal of the state s 801, which shows that aylor d on the morning of the fifty-third day of the session, and after that day his name does not appear in the 1 either on the roll call or on any recorded vote. And now at this late day sistontly denying that M fled to the fr: a fae simil B. & M this impes after per- jors had certi udulent voucher, of which appears in this issue, the Journal attempts to pallinte ‘hable offense by pointing to the fact that the fraudulent Taylor voueher was only g few dollars over and above the amount actually due to T lor. Only a few dollars, to be sure! Only ut ev dollar of that sum was fraudulently taken out of the state treasury by reason of the certificate signed 18 representing that Tay- lor had served to the end of the sion.

It was only a few doflars that Majors overcharged in collecting mileage as licutenant governor for 1801 and 1893, but the et was 8o much more vepre- hensible because it was only a few dol- lars.

The country will heartily welcome the conelusion of the pending ecamp t, perhaps, beeause it has m ater strain upon the busin s than is usual with involving a change in the politi- 1 complexion of a branch of the fed- eral government, but for the reason that they are anxious to go forward with the of readjustment upon whatever lines the result of next Tuesday’s elec- tions shall determine. The matter of paramount Importance is the political complexion of thé next house of representatives. This is due to the fact that the democratic | lave declaved their purpose to continue their policy of tearing down the prote tion defenses to American indust and labor. re can be no ren- sonable doubt that the industrial and business conditions would Dbe very nuch better than they are but for this declaration, yet democrat with authority to spe: the party has made it repeatediy the people on next Tuesday approve this policy by electing o majority of demo- crats to the popular branch of the Fif fourth congress there ean be no donbt leaders have promised that what the On the other hand, inter. general cam- will be carried out. the election of a republican house would be such a protest against democratic policy that the party in power would | nardly venture to disregard it.

So far as the present congress Is concerned, there danger of it doing any mischief. more It will be in session less than three months and the republ minority in the senate will have little difficulty in preventing the enactment of any legislation relating to the ylid | which it does not fay The danger is from the next congress in the event of the democrats alning contral.

The prerequisite to a restoration of prosperity is confidence, and the only way to obtain that is by dislodging from the power to do further harm the party whose policy s vespon ble for distrust and ssion, To con tinue that party in control of congress would obyiously invite a continuance of the unfortunate conditions from which the country has suffered during the last eighteen months.

Alexander 38 bore his great suffer- |Ing, which gnded only with his death, with remarkahlg, patience and fortitud Throughout his illness he manifested a spirit of Christian resignation which will be recorded to his credit in the | pages of history, Mauly courage in the hard ordeal’was to have been expec of him, for e was a soldier faced death on the field of battle. Ir found religious faith and devotion, how- ever, was a revelation of character that might not have been looked for from a ruler who during his reign permitted | cruelties and persecutions not consistent | with such a spirit. The dead n-mpolm[ will not figure in history as a great man, | measurcd by the standard o some of his ancestors, yet he was not without excellent qualities, A contemporary historian says of him that he wa ‘at all times the sworn cnemy of abuses and of corrupt men— profoundly honest himself and unable to tolerate dishonest hout him—im- | pervious to the feminine blandishments to which his father so easily sucenmbed combining, unlike the latter, the vir-| tues of the private man with the spver- | cign's noble aspirations—incapable of any weakness or low compromise with | conscience for the benefit of f \'urihv.\’ of either sex—scrupulously thrifty in the use of the public wealth, and filled with the sense of the sacredness of his mission.” This is unquestionably some- | what exaggerated praise, but yet not en tively unwarranted. He was faithful ir his domestic obligations and evidence | of his thrift is not wanting.
