The proceedings instituted yes terday in the Nebraska surprcme court by Attorney General Norris lirown against the Nebraska Grain would have if thev h.al Tin: populist state committee met in Lincoln yesterday and fixed upen the same date as that of the democratic state convention Sep tember -N for their convention. The basis of representation was fixed at one delegate for each KM) vcte cast for George V. Merge for governor at the last general election. Tkn per cent is the increase in valuation of Richardson county horses, so placed by the state board. 1 The s tine board reduced the Bur-! iiugion .Missouri valuation to ai sum satisfactory to that corporation. DISTINCTLY DISAPPOINTING. The standpatters are infinitely pleased at the attitude of Mr. Roosevelt toward the Chicago con vention for the furtherance of recip procal trade relations between this and other governments. Mr. Roose velt politely refuses to take any no tice of the great trade gathering, and it is given out by the gleeful standpatters that he has even inti mated that he doesn't want to be bothered with an invitation which he would be under the necessitv of declining. Mr. Roosevelt is a good deal of a i trimmer but, unhappilv, not a tariff trimmer. To have heard the politician talk tariff reform some sup- I'ile the burdens noon the common ., ... . yi, ,t i i months ago von might have taxnavers. that is the wriv thev & . i" , , ., ..." , -" ; posed that bv this time he would nt:'il .-lllil i cutli- tIii-- li'-fl it i Falls Citv News. Tin- state loard has ordered the tolowing of an assessment on the reserve of the Woodmen of the World, a fraternal organization with headquarters in Omaha, esti mated at a million and a half. This was opposed by Secretary of State aGlusha, an officer of the grand lodge of Workmen, but favored by all other members of the board. Tin: latest turn that sanctimon ious John Rockefeller has made was to invest eight millions in a corner on linseed oil, out of which he cleared up a profit of twenty millions. An advance in linseed oil may now le expected, as John prays louder, and contributes more of his ill-gotten wealth to the ad vancement of the christian religion. T. S. Ai.i.kn, chairman, has is sued a call for the democratic state convention to meet in Lincoln on i an Wednesday, Septemler 50th, at 2 I thing formerly dear to his heart if j manifest some activity with the shears on the Dingley schedules; but the scissors have leen busy in another direction. Kvery move and utterance of the President since his election has been thoroughly satisfactory to the political frieiub of the trusts which profit by "protection." Can it be that the President pledged himself to the politicians before election to a standpat pro gramme, and that he has been atall times deliberatelv insincere in his popular attitude of a reformer who was only biding his time to compel the party to revise the iniquitous schedules? At the present moment he is as steadfast a standpatter himself as could be possibly imagined, and the nation which elected him on the implied promise that he would do what he could is put off by a figurative wave of the hand. Mr. Roosevelt doesn't even take interest in the reciprocitv a Dealer's association been more convincin come earner. It is generally known that the grain trust has already been weak ened in consequence of the suit brought against it by Tom Worral It is known that several of its strong est and most active members have withdrawn from membership. It is said that the organization lias al- i reauv ceased to do business as a trust. And now, with the trust already put out of commission, comes Attorney-General Brown with an injunc tion suit to compel it to stop doing what, according to report, it has already stopped doing. Why did AttorneyGeneral Brown wait until action brought by a pri vate citizen had already driven the trust to cover? Why did he not begin proceed - ceeding to enforce the law aeainst it while it was strong, instead of waiting until it should be weak? These are some 91 the questions that will naturally be suggested by I the injunction proceedings. It is, however, better for a public official to do his duty late than never to do it all. It is better for him to do his duty w hen driven thereto by public sentiment than to refuse to do it in spite of that sentiment. Whatever his motives, Attorney General Brown has made a good start. He can easily prove, if he he will, that he is seriously in earn est, and that he is not merely mak ing a "grandstand play" after the fight is over by demanding the en forcement of the law regulating railroad rates and against the lum ber trust; by proceeding against wrongs that are robust and active as well as against the grain trust thatis sickly anil descrepit.

Tin-: suit against the Imputable brought by the State of New York for a complete accounting of the company's affairs coultl be made more interesting by transferring it to some western state and conduct ing it tinder the auspices of the Secretary of State. He would throw it into the hands of a receiver so quick that it would make the Honorable Chauncey De-pe-w"s head swim. his words counted for anything. The least he could do, consistently, would le to recognize the repre sentative character of the great business, manufacturing and agri cultural assemblage about to con vene at Chicago. It will speak for reciprocity with the voice of the nation's commerce collectively only excluding the dear privileged interests which have bought party favor with campaign contributions in the past. Mr. Roosevelt is dis tinctly disappointing. A cki.mk is a crime, whether committed by woman or man, and it is the duty of officials, to prose cute the criminal in either case. Many kind-hearted officials are too easily persuaded to keep down the prosecution on account of the stand ing of the criminal's family in the commuliity. An offense against the criminal law of the state has been committed in this city, which, if it was the first of the same nature committed by the same person, a sympathetic community might be induced to overlook it, but when it comes to the second it becomes un bearable to the most charitable citi zens many of whom are very out spoken in condemning officials for not doing their dutv. With the turning up of the light of publicity graft appears in virtu ally every subdiviseon of the De partment of Agriculture; yet, with witnesses declining to answer even the slightest questions upon the ground of their constitutional rights, the chances of establishing a working basis of indictment and of later securing convictions are not very bright. Out of these considerations has come a proposal that Congress "investigate" But will it? Tin: opposition to republicanism j in Nebraska is too easilydishearteii ed. The idea that the big majori ty cannot be overcome in the fall elections is all losh. With a good ticket lefore the people many re publicans who have become tired of the republican manner of doing things in this state will vote with the democrats. Let us put on a bold front, nominate a good candi cate for supreme judge, and the honest yeomenry will le with us in accomplishing the balance.

He will not visit the big re-ciprocity conven tion which is soon to meet in Chi cago with tlie suspect'..d intention of stirring deeper into questions of (lovernment revenue tariff tax ation. lie will not be repivsnted by any member of his official fami iv. Jie even intimates mat lie hopes not to he embarrassed by the necessity of declining an invitation to have anything whatever to do with it. And yet the platform on which Mr. Roosevelt was last fall electeel to the Prsidency by a popular plur ality of 2,500,000, a popular major ity of 1,700,000 and an electoral majority of more than two-thirds declares in favor of reciprocity. There is, of course, a protection string tied to the declaration, but, equally of course, everybody knows that there is no necessary quarrel between Dingleyism and reciprocity bargains. This plank of the Re publican platform of 194 is worth a moment's attention nt this time. I Iere it is: "We have extended widely our foreign markets, and we believe in the adoption of all practicable methods for their further extension. including commercial reciprocity wherever reciprocal arrangements can be effected consistent with the principles of protection, and with out injury to American agriculture, American labor of any American industry." lixtension of markets is just the thing that is needed by our manu facturing as well as by our agricul tural interests, for our productive possibilities have already become so fruitful as to overflow the home market. lixchange of products is the essence of trade. People as a rule prefer to buy in the markets where they sell. Countries which the Dingley tariff forbids to sell to us cannot to the best advantage buy from us. Why, then, in the face of its party declaration, does the republican administsation balk at the Chicago meeting which has be hind it strong sentiment and large producing interests. The practical answer is that the republican party is already seeth ing with an ill-suppressed and ulti mately irrepressible conflict be tween what its votaries believe to be the same principles of moderate and reasonable protection and the wild excesses of the Dingley pro hibitive schedules. Whenever and wherever these opposing views are allowed to come into clash the par ty is split. Republican leaders are wise in trying to steer their boat awav from the rock of tariff discus sion. Two years ago Iowa republi cans declared against the monopoly-fostering features of the Dingley tariff; David B, Henderson rebelled and the pathetic fate of Henderson is not lost upon other leaders. It is not easy so see how the re publicans are to avoid the tariff in the extra session of congress that is meet in November or in the long regular session that will follow. The government's income is run ning behind. Something must be done to restore the balance. Secretary- Shaw, whose sand is run ning low in the treasury hour-glass, thinks it would be a good plan to pile on a little more internal reve nue taxes; but except as a war measure that form of taxation has ; already been odious to the Ameri j can people when it has gone beyond j spirits, beer and tobacco. !
