The questiols that will be eagerly asked in every part of the country on the day after election will be, What of Nebraska? Nebraska is not a pivotal state in thie campalgn. The outcome of the great contest for the presidency Is not likely to turn on which way the electoral vote of Nebrdska 1s cast, although the state | properly belongs in the debatable col- umn. Nebraska has much more to gain for itself by instructing its presidential electors to vote for Willlam McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt as the repub- licun pominces than these candidates have to gain from it. Ever since Nebraska went over to populism and lost its place among the states regularly found In the republican column it bas been discredited more or less in the eyes of the progressive peo- ple of other sectlons. While its slower advancement in wealth and population during the last decade Is to be attributed to many co-operating causes, it will hardly be questioned by intelligent ob- servers that one of these causes is to be found in the unsettled conditions from which capital and immigration al- ways fight shy, due directly to the con- trol of the state government by men imbued with populistic ideas. With the radicals in the saddle pursuing all sorts of fallacles and vagarles, the expansion of Nebraska has without doubt been checked instead of proceeding at the same rate as in the surrounding states not so situated politically. The opportunity is before the people of Nebraska, at the election next Tues- day, to give visible proof of their pref- erence for progress and enterprise. They can, if they will, put Nebraska in line for McKinley and prosperity, thus rals- ing themselves immeasurably In the es- timation of the entire country. If each voter will but consult the interest of himself and his state the question, What of Nebraska? will recetve the answer: Nebraska has been redeemed! EXPRESS YOUR PREFERENCE. ' « The next Nebraska legislature will be called upon to elect two United States senators to succeed John M. Thurston aud Willlam V. Allen. Next to the election of President Mc- Kinley, the election of two United States senators constitutes the most important Issue before the people of this state. The influence exerted by the representa- tives of this state in the United States senate can bardly be overestimated. The members of the United States sen- ate should not be mere patronage brok- ers who distribute spoils of office for their favorites, but they should be men capable of dealing with national and in- ternational questions in a broad and statesmanlike manner; above all things, they should be men who represent the masses rather than the classes. Until the people can elect their senators by direct vote.the respousibility and duty of their selection devolves upon the members of the legislature. It is within the province of every voter, however, to express his preference at the coming election and designate who among the candidates would, In their judgment, best subserve the interests of the state in the councils of the nation. ‘ This opportunity to express a prefer- ence should not be allowed to go by de- fault. It goes without saying that a full vote at the coming election would go far to eliminate from the senatorial contest the corrupt and demoralizing in- fluences that make senatorships a mat- ter of bargain and sale. No honorable republican in the legislature will refuse to ablde by the expressed will of ‘his constituents. THE CENSUS AND REPRESENTATION. One of the questions which the com- pletion of the census will force upon the attention of the country will be a new basis'of apportionment for the house of representatives. The basis bas been changed after every, census, the popula- tion requirement for a representative fu congress bhaving been regularly in- creased and the number of representa- tives increased also, with one exception only. In 1843, after the sixth census, the number of representatives was re- duced from 240 to 213. But at the next census the number was increased again and this bas gone on steadily until the census of 1860, when the population basis was made 173,001 and the total number of repaesentatives was ralsed to 856. The admission of Utah later added one more, making 857 representa- tives. The present population is a little over 76,000,000 and doubtless the basis of representation will be again Increased. To continue the present basis would make such an addition to the member- ship of the house as would perhaps ren- der that body unwieldy., There s a sentiment against increasing the size of the house on the ground that it is already unwieldy and that any further additions only increase this objection. Yet the popular brauch of congress ls inferior In membership to the corre- lo over to & substitute. While How- ard Is not exhibiting these early efforts at present admiring friends are unwill- ing to see him hide his light under a bushel. e————— A weekly religlous paper discusses ex- _baustively the rights of misslonaries, The rights of missionaries in history have always been exactly what the gov- sroments of thelr respective nations have seed Ot to enforce. * If the United States makes its authority respected in all territory subject to its jurisdiction American missionaries will be Tespected everywhere. ————m—————— The republican school board ticket is made up of men for whom everyond can vote with full knowledge that In their hauds the business of the schools will be honestly, economically and e clently managed, free from personal tention. Not spouding bodies of most of the great nations. The British House of Com- mous consists of 670 members, the French Chamber of Deputies of 584, the Itallan Chamber of 508 and the Germun Reichstag 897 members. The probabil- ity 1s that both the basis of representa- tion and the total number of representa- tives will be Increased, as has been uni- formly done after cach census, with the oue exception noted. Assuming that the new basis muy be mwade 200,000, that would give a house of representa- tives of 81 members, an Increase of twenty-four over the present house. It would seem that there could be no reasonable objection to such sun addi- tion to the house, while If the basis of representation should be fixed so as to keep the membership Wt the present number it would work & hardship to some of the states in reducing their rep- resentation. Indeed, even on a basis of 200,000 some of the states would not re- taln their present representation, The question of a new appertionment s ot of edlate urgency, as it will be determ! by the congress to be elected next Tuesday and which will not meet in regular session until De- cember, 1001, so that tnere is abundant time for whatever discusiion the stb- Jeet may require. | ANNEXING TRUST MAGNALES. When a trust magnate declares him- selt in favor of McKinley's re-election the fact 18 heralded broadeast by the Bryanite press as cohclusive proof that McKinley is a tool of the trusts and monopolies. When a trust magnate an- nounces himself in fAvor of Bryan he is lauded to the skles by the Bryanite or- gans and recelved with open arms as a great accession to the ranks of the re- formers, This has been strikingly exemplified by the jubilant demonstration over the annexation to Bryan's new possessions of Levi Carter, president of the Omaha branch of the American white lead trust. Mr. Carter, by the way, Is a lifelong democrat and never a republican, as one would infer from the clatter made over his conversion. Whether Mr. Carter has gone back to the party because Trust-Smasher Smyth has spared his concern trom proceedings under the antl-trust law or whether he is trying to head off an anticipated raid by the great Nebraska trust extermi- nator is not disclosed. Sm————— UNEXCEPTIONAL CANDIDATES. Republicans of Douglas county and Omaha have never before been in so good a position to vote thelr ticket straight with the confidence that they are supporting clean, capable and re- llable candidates as they are this year. From the top of the ticket, from the electors for President McKinley down to the lowest precinct officer, the men nominated are exceptionally strong from every point of view. The republican state ticket, headed by Charles H. Die- trich for governor, is made up of men each eminently qualified ror the position to which they aspire. For congress In this district the re- publicans, have renominated the present efficlent Incumbent, and in all the other Nebraska districts the republican con- gressional nominees are far superior to their fusion opponents. The legislative ticket In Douglas county has yet to be assalled in its per- sonnel. The three candidates for the state senate—Messrs, Baldrige, Coleson and Schultz—-bear unimpeachable char- acters and are representative of the professional, mercautile and laboring classes, among whom none stand higher. On the house ticket the business men have representafives in Messrs. Uhl, Buresh, Mead and Wilcox; the laboring men in Messrs. Youngs, Corneer and Mullen; the men In clerical occupations in Mr. McCoy, and the farmers In Mr. Rohwer. Each is recognized as of the best type of his special calling, while all have rephtations in the community at large that rank among the best. For county attorney the republican candidate s a consclentlous young law- yer of good standing at the bar and un- doubted fitness for the place. The republican candidate for county commissioner has been renominated for a second tert, having served In that capacity during the past three years in a manner with which the taxpayers can find no fault. The republican school board ticket comprises ouly men of good business standing who have direct interests in the public schools and who can be de- pended on to manage them at once eco- nomically and with a view to the con- stant Improvément and elevation of their standard, The republican candidates for es- sors in Omaha and South Omaha and for the wminor precinct offices in the coun- try also commend themselves to the con- sclentious voter who wishes the best men in every place. As we have sald before, from top to bottom the republican ticket this year contalns no name for which the most conscientlous voter need have the slight- est scruple In recording himself for fear of honoring anyone not entitled to his support. S— A RECURD OF STATESMANSHIP. Secretary Gage made a speech in Philadelphia a few days ago, in which he said: “The republican president has stood for nearly four years in that white light which casts exaggerated shadows over all faults and weaknesses. His record {s known. Is the natlon’s name less honored abroad or less re- spected at home? Has any Important act or word from him dishonored his country? Has the temporal well-belng of the people been prejudiced or ren- dered worse by reason of his admin- istration? Has not Industry thrived, has not labor been well employed, have our foreign commeérce and home trade languished? Each of the questions can be answered in only one way and that to the credit of one calm, wise, just and patriotic man who for four years has guided the destinles of this people.” The record of Willlam McKinley as president 18 & record of statesmanship. The country has never had a more prac- tical executive. He entered office as the representative of a policy which he believed necessary to give the coun- try prosperity and as soon as possible it was put into effect, The results speak for themselves. When war became In- evitable he knew how to prepare for it. History records the nation's achieve- ment. In the conduct of our foreign re- latious there have been wisdom, pru- dence and firmness. The prestige of the United States abroad was never so great as now. The honor of the nation has been maintained and its power and influence increased. It is an honorable record, of which every American should be proud—a record that gives Willlam McKinley the strongest possible claim to the continued confidence and support of his countrymen. . The chlef object to which the last fu- sion legislative delegation from Douglas county devoted its active.efforts was the enactment of a bill repealing the anti- sambiing laws. A pot of $3,000 was put The Interview attached as exhibit A, thus endorsed by Archbishop Ireland, is here reproduced: NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—~Archbishop Ire land, in conversation today touching the sentiment at Rome toward the Catholic church in the Philippines and in Cuba, re- marked that he feit quite willing to repeat what was recently sald to him in Rome on this subject. He said he did so the more readily Inasmuch as the eminent person- ages with whom he had had the honor of conversing on tho matter showed them- t0 bo In nowise unwilling to have “‘In one of the audiences which he graci- e ously granted me the pope sald: ‘We are well pleased with the relations of the American government to the church in Cuba and the Philippines. The American government gives proof of good will and extilbits In ite acts a epirit of justice and respect for the liberties and rights of the church. The reports we see from bishops and others Indicate this. Difficulties of de- tall occur af equence of war and of But we understand ce and the spirit of justice of the government and belleve the fu- ture will not lead us to a change of senti- ment. Under the American government there will be due respect for rights ofsprop- erty and consclence. You will thank In my name the president of the republic for what has been done.’ ‘“Cardinal Rampolla, secretary of state, on my telllug him of my conversation with the pope, sald that the ents made to me by the pope were such as he, from his personal knowledge ‘and bellef, was ready to repeat and that I was at liberty to make them known to the American people at large. The cardinal sald, furthermore, that on no less than three different occasions petitions were sent to the vatican in the name of the Philippine leaders to have opened between them and the vatican di- rect official relations, but that the can always refused to listen to such petitions out of consideration for the American gov- ernment. “The church,” sald the cardina needs in Cuba and the Philippines the co-opera- tlon of the American government for the protection of its rights and liberties, as indeed the American government needs the co-operation of the church for-the pacifica- tion of those countries.” ‘‘Cardinal Gottl, before his elevation to the cardinalate, had been superior general to the Carmelite monks and had established in Cuba, antecedently to the American oc- cupation, three houses of the order. Ho ®ald to me: ‘I received a few days ago letters from the several Carmelite houses In Cuba. The fathers tell me that they enjoy under the present American admin- istration of the lsland full liberty; that they have undisturbed possession of All thelr propertics and that they were never O o J A Ludguon P o0, , A nfl_ /Z—y‘ p 'C: ya Lhen &, M‘.

As a plain matter of fact, the only safety which the Catholic church bas in the Fhil- ippines for the protection of property ..nd the lives of its priests is the protection afforded by the American flag and all this Is fully understood and fully recognized In Rome." The archbishop subsequently gave out the following Interview: “‘How do I intend to vote? It cannot at first sight but seem more or less im- pertinent for any citizen to tell the public bow he fntends to vote.

In giving my vote for the candidates of the republican party I Isfled in my own conscience that I he best interests of the country at road, that I contribute to the of the country’s material pros- perity and of peace and goodwill between the several classes of its population, that 1 ald the country In bringing about the safest and most honorable solutions of ‘the com- plex problems which confronts it as the result of the late war and in retaining tor the country itselt the exalted position which it holds at present, commercially and diplomatically, betore other nations of the world. I trust no further doubts will be expressed as to how I intend to vote.” ————— e e e up by the Omaha and South Omaha to be misled by them. No one should gamblers and the repeal bill introduced | put any stock in such eleventh-hour under cover by Senator Howell was smuggled through the senate under the deft manipulation of lrank Ransom selzing the chalr as presiding officer by virtue of being the president of the senate. The bill would doubtless Lave been smuggled through the house in the same manner weré not the boodle scheme promptly exposed and denounced by The Bee. The investigation forced by this paper at that time uncovered Ransom's connection with the job, which, if successful, would have been a good thing for him. With Ransom in the senate again the untlgambnnm laws would not be safe very long. em——— ivery report from Cuba Is to the effect that the island is more tranquil than at any time during the last fifty years. There are fewer soldlers in Cuba today than at any time during that perlod and they have almost nothing to do. The constitutional convention which assembles this month will find much of the work of restoring prosperity well under way and the people all busy re« pairing the waste of constant yarfare. This should render the task of con- structing a government of their own less difficult and, freed from the passions which consumed the people at the end of Spanish dominion, they should be able and willing to do justice to all classes. Under wise administration Cuba should soon be one of the garden spots of the world and the home of a happy and prosperous people. The question is not yet answered how the note'clerk of a big New York bank, could get away with close on to $700,000 without being detected. Of course no such wholesale peculation could be per- petrated In any small institution, yet at the same time it must either have taken a marvel of ingenuity or the men exercising responsible supervision must have been lax in the extreme. Since the bank has a surplus mounting Into the millions and will stand the loss itself, no effort is likely to be made to trace responsibility further than the de- faulting clerk, but had it collapsed as a result of the defalcation a searching inquiry would unquestionably be In- sisted on by the creditor claimants, In order to assure a continuance of prosperity the American people must re- tain Willlam McKioley at the helm of government for the next four years. The re-election of McKinley alone would, however, be unavaillng unleds the majority of the next congress will uphold republican policies that have given us stability in financial affairs and activity In our Industrial and commer: clal concerns. In other words, the peo- ple who are opposed to a change should see to it that republican candidates for congress aud republican candidi for the legislature are elected on Novem- ber 6. Em——— It is worthy of note that Charles H. Dietrich was before the people of Ne- braska as the republican candidate for governor for six months without being subjected to a single charge reflecting on his character. In the closing da of the campaiga the fusin machine has set in motion a disreputable warfare agalnst him under cover of anonymous circulars and lettérs signed by irrespon- gible parties, attacking him with all sorts of malicious fabrications. These underground assaults have been pur- poscly delayed until too late for Mr. Dietrich to reach all the people lable roorbacks. Spain has undergone a cabinet crisis and secured a new ministry almost without attracting public attention. Since the disasters that have followed in its internal administration in the wake of the humiliating defeat encoun- tered by Spain In its war with the United States the people of that country have had a hard road to travel, They are gradually accomplishing certain re- forms, however, and in the long run will recognize that the loss of the Span- ish colonial possessions was the best thing that could have happened for them, The problem of education in Hawall, Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phillppines will require the best thought and ekill of our most able educators for the next few years. The development of these countries rests on the uplifting of thelr, peoples and for this task the United Btates Is remarkably well equipped with educational leaders who can be depended upon to take up the question from a sympathetic yet impartial stand- point.
