Kinley tarilf an. I tne cnrisui and
'vratiny of expeaker KVed in
counting a tjuoruni.
A fi-w month ao these cries
were repeated with such seeming
iiotiesty ami sincerity that many
people were lead to helicve then
was noniftliiiitf in them, and they
were not merely t'.e latent cut and
Myle of campaign He just from 1 1 it
hands of democratic artists long
trained in the pro liicumi of such
f ilse issues.
A short time elapsed ami the peo
pie learned from a decision id the
Ji-clcral supreme court that ttie Me
Kinley tarilf was -trictly constitu
tional and valid in all respect., ami
hat there was nothing to support
democratic chaises to the con
trary.
Next in order came the official re
port of imports and exports !io.v
iiiir that under the McKinley tarilf
mr foreign eoiniiierv instead of
'xing ruined had -u-oll-n to pro-
. xirtioiiH never known he fore. So
mother democrat!'' c amp ogn lie
went by the lioan. Further: the
supreme court at Washington not
only upheld 'the MoKinley arill,
hut (the democratic justices con
curring) declared the course of
ex-Speaker Keed in counting a
quoruiu legal and valid in all re
spects. So much forcaarisin, tyran
ny and oppression in the last re-
publican house.
There remains one democratic
campaign lie not yet entirely dis
posed of, although rapidly disap
pearing, via., that about alleged ex
travagant appropriations by the so
called "hilliondollarcongreHH." Hut
that particular hasn't much life left
in it. The people have learned that
'there was no "billion-dollar" con
gress, that no Hitch amount of
money was appropriated, and the
democrats now hud they must ex
petid as much ii the republicans,
or else take the responsibility of
.starving some branch of the govern
ment. That democratic leader, Sen
ator Gorman, in a recent speech in
the senate, thus exposed the hypoc
risy and false pretenses of his party
in dealing with this question:
"I mean to say, Mr. I'resident,
that there N no power on earth as
the government is now constituted
to "liable the democratic party lo
reduce the appropriation of $1."0,
K),(XK) or more for pensions; there
is no power in the party to which he
and I belong to reduce the fixed ex
penditures of the government, the
iuterect on the public debt, etc.:
there is no power on earth to reduce
the expenditures for offices; there
is no power to reduce taxation, ami
you cannot diminish expenditures."
In other words the democrats lied
when they charged the republican
with extravagance, ami they lied
again when they promised to prac
tice economy and reduce expenses
Lxposed ami discredited at every
point, what sort of campaign lies
will the bourbons produce this
year? lo they really expect the
people to believe anything they
may sayr
HARRISON'S PERSONALITY.
it is easy to say that Harrison is
a man who.su personality does not
excite enuiiisiasiii. He is not a
hurrah candidate, in other words,
as Hlaine would have been, for in-
.stance. There is nothing pictu
. resipie and sensational about him,
. and men are not in the habit ol
. speaking of him in fervent and ex-
jgerated term. Hut he is a man
who we irs, and who never falls be-
low public expectation in tests of
practical statesmanship and un
selfish devotion to the public inte
rests. It may be a misfortune for
iViim that he does not have the (acui
ty of making himself familiar with
all kinds of people, but certainly it
in list be acknowledged that he is
always reasonably courteous and
.considerate, and is not that enough
v; ii ft man occupying a position of
.surpassing dignitj and import
.nice? He does not slop over in the
way of personal compliment ami
.flattery, but lie does observe the
rules of ordinary civility ami pro
priety. His disposition is not of
'hat effusive order which brings
fieri cheap popularity; but he bears
himself alwajs like a good-te. ti
gered and self-respecting gentle
.iian. The country never lias cause
to be ashamed of him. He is equal
fo any emergency id his great
office, and his private character is
"iitirely irreproachable. Surely a
man of whom so many creditable
things can be said may be forgiven
for occasional lack of warmth in
his intercourse with visiting politi.
cians and office-seekers.
The people of the I'nited States
lo not demand that a candidate for
president shall be a man of the
liail-fellow-well-niet variety. They
do not estimate him by his capacity
for making himself agreeable un
der all circumstances, but accord
ing to his qualifications for the
duties to be performed and the re
sponsibilities to be assumed. It
does not matter whether he is ex
cessively solicitous to please every
body or not, so long- as he is known
to be a man of satisfactory ability
ind unquestionable integrity.
I larrisou is that kind of a man. I le
has been president for oer three
year, and the people have become
well acquainted with hint in every
cspect. They know that his course
has been conscientious and patri
otic, and that no set ions fault can
lie found with any of his proceed
ings. Such tt record counts for
:nore than the reputation of beinga
1oon companion and a magnetic
liand-shakir. When there is a man
1o be selected for a difficult and
laborious task we do not ask how
he receives callers, but what his fit
ness is for substantial and useful
work, lhat is the proper way to
look at Harrison, and that is the
way in which the American people
will regard him as a candidate for
-re-election, lhey will not vote
-.against him because lie has failed
to be as cordial to some individu
als as he might have been. He has
made a careful, honest an 1 faithful
president, and that is the pointed
real importance. There is no risk
to betaken in retaining him. He
has demonstrated his ability to
meet all the requirements of the
place, and that is the best guaran
tee of su cessful service in the
future, as well as the best claim to
reward from an appreciative and
grateful country.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

FAIR CROPS, FAIR PRICES. FAIR
TRADE.
Kven Wall street is weary of jug
gling with prices on false alarms of
short crops, and makes a semi-ofli-cial
statement that the recent cy
clones and Hoods have not covered
areas large enough to seriously af
fect the crops of 1HIRJ. In parts of
the country the prospects indicate
a crop but little inferior to that of
Inst year, which was almost tinpre
cedently great. The estimate for
the whole country as to all cereals
is that the harvest will be rather
above than below the average.
There is at present no reason for
the consumer to dread unusually
high prices for next winter's sup
ply of food, still less is their reason
for the farmer to fear unusual prices
for what he has to sell. Unless all
signs fail, prices will be fair and
linn, but not too high. There will
be profit to the farmer without pres
sure upon the consumer.
The reports from Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade and from Hrail
street's coincide with the cheerful
estimate of Wall street. Despite of
the excitement of a presidential
campaign, and of the alarm caused
by the prevalence of storms in cer
tbin sections of the country, the
general tone of trade is healthful
and the prospect for the future en
couraging. TIN PLATE CHOWS CHEAPER.

1 he democratic congressional
convention met at .Nebraska City
yesterday and nominated W. J
Hryan for congress. The noini
nating speech was made by J. D.
Calhoun of the Lincoln Herald
and C. W. Sherman of the Journal
seconded the nomination in one of
his characteristic speeches. The
following is from the Lincoln
Journal:
"Congressman Hryan was yester
day nominated for congressman
from the First district by the citi
zens party. J he nomination was
made like all democratic state tioui-
inatior s tntist be made, that is, by!
petition filed with the secretary of
state. The filing of this petition is
construed to mean that Hryan
hopes to shut out any possibility of
the nomination of a straight inde
pendent ca i.didate. The same rea
son is assigned for holdinir the
Nebraska City convention at such
an early date.
"The petition reads this way:
'We, the undersigned qualified
voters of Nebraska, of the First
congressional district thereof, here
by organizing ourselves into the
citizens party, do make the follow
ing nomination for the office of
representative in the United States
congress, which office is to be filled
at the next ensuing election in Hie
First congressional district of Ne
braska.' "Some peculiarities crop out in
the petition. It nominates Con
gressman Hryan and nominates
his political party or principles as
'citizens.' It is signed largely by
farmers and laborers, although
there are a few well-known demo
crats. Among the names is that of
James Devinney, an oil inspector
under Governor Hoyd. Two sign
ers give their occupation as that of
old soldier. There are three saloon
men among the names and a fourth
writes his name with a cross, but
the most peculiar signature is tbat
of L. G. Todd, who has evidently at
tached his name with a string to it.
for he adds: 'II he understand. it.
If not. then null and void.' This
nomination precedes the Nebraska
City alfair several hours in point of
time."
