of coal not being found in Cass county.
Nebraska City News.
Of course James J. Corbett is the
greatest man in America. But next
to him in the minds of the people will
be the senator who gets through new
rules for passing a bill upon which de
bate is exhausted.
According to the report of the
secretary of war. there are in the
United States 8423,997 men able for
military duty. The combined armies
of the old world could not damage
Uncle Sam if all her servicable men
would turn out to do battle.
The publication of George W.Childs
will discloses how well ordered were
the vast interests he administered. All
his benefactions will be continued by
his successors upon the same noble
lines established during bis life. His
charities not merely survive him; they
will grow greater and more fragrant
from year to year.
If Auditor Moore would curb bis
overmastering inclination to rush out
to the foot lights every time he gets a
hall -digested idea in hip head which be
imagines will magnify bis name, he
would not subject himself to the hu
miliation of bearing a horse laugh at
his expense roll irom one end of the
state to the other. Wisner Chronicle
(rep )
The Somerville woolen mills, lo
cated at Somerville, N. J., has paid a
17 per cent dividend and worked on
full time right through the financial
scaie. It has also just awarded a con
tract for the building of a large addi
tion to the mill. Still you Gnd men
silly enough to believe that the Wilson
tariff bill will shut up American
woolen mills.
Mr. Oxmakd says both the beet
sugar factories in Nebraska will be
closed next year if the Wilson bill be
comes a law. Mr. Oxnard once re
rnaiked that the removal of the state
bounty would kill the sugar business
in Nebraska, and be built another fac
tory just after the bounty was repealed.
Mr. Oxnard will soon rival Mrs. Lease
as a political chestnut.
And so Polk's Nothing is not at all
envious of the letting of the county
printing to Thk Journal! Glad to
learn it. It might have been proper,
however, while mentioning the subject
ofcouuty printing, for the Nothing to
have gone into details in reference to
the exorbitant charges which were con
tained in its bill filed the other day
against the county for printing en
velopes for two of the officials. The
commissioners dropped onto the steal,
but were liberal enough to allow the
bill, although they gave tlie editor of
the aforesaid Nothing to understand
not to do it again. Another oily
scheme of the same sheet was also un
earthed by the board, which disclosed
that its editor had charged and collected
of the county for. some job work a few
months ago which was afterwards paid
for by the county official for whom the
work was done. To save space the
Nothing might explain both steals at
the aama time.
CAPITA!, CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, D. C. Feb. S, 1894.
So it turns out that Congressman Bryan
has not been tinned down at the white
house, after all, and that his recom
mendations to the president are to hold
good, so far as his district is concerned,
at least. Hence, when the president
informed him that he could not appoint
Mr. Calhoun to be postmaster at Lin
coln under any circumstances, but
would appoint anyone ese whom he
might recommend, Mr. Hran at once
sent in the name of J. II. Harley, and
his appointment was made at once,
without waiting for further recom
mendations, in twitbstanding the post
master general had recommended Mr.
Hull. The reasons the president had
for turning down Mr. Calhoun were
those of peisonal resentment for some
of Mr. Calhoun's editorial declarations
respecting himself. Mr. Bryan stood
by his friend to the last only taking
up another man when he knew that
such was the only course left open.
The senate has passed the house bill
repealing the odious John I. Davenport
election law, giving the president
power to appoint a legion of officers to
interfere with congressional elections,
and it will soon be a thing of the past.
Reports today say that the tariff bill
will be reported to the senate on Thurs
day of next week. This is good news, as
it indicates that the republican policy of
delay for hearings has been defeated,
and that debate will soon begin.
That the bill has much to fear is not
to be questioned. It is said, for in
stance, that fifty-five members of the
senate are attorneys for corporations,
and some go as far as to say they are
owned by these several interests. The
eastern railways are deeply interested
in retaining the tariff on coal, and will
no doubt exert a powerful influence in
that behalf. Then, again, the sugar
trust has millions at stake in the Wil
son bill, and, as indicating that they
are not idle, I saw a letter from a man
n New York, in which he stated that
it was reported from such a source as
to warrant his belief that the trust had
sent two million dollars to Washington
to work with in their interest in the
senate. It is apparent that somebody
is spending money here quite lavishly.
The house yesterday, after a day of
filibustering following a week's debate,
passed the McCreary Hawaiian resolu
tion of endorsement of the president.
The fight has developed the fact that
the republicans are con mitted to the
policy of annexation of the Hawaiian
islands, while the democrats are op
posed to it, believing that it is only
promoted by the sugar interests there
and the sons of missionaries, who have
gobbled up all the lands of the natives
and want this government to help them
to permanently break down the power
of the natives, and leave them in un
disputed political control of affairs on
the islands. These are the men who
are at Mie back of the Dole govern
ment, and they fear that unless Uncle
Sam backs the.n up the natives may
rise and by power of numbers reinstate
their own rule, and crush out their
land-grabbing oppressors.
If 1 am not a bad prophet, the name
of C. M. Butler for postmaster at
Plattsmouth will be sent to the senate
in a few days. This will be in accord
ance with Mr. Bryan's recommenda
tion, but is unfortunate for my friend,
W. K. Fx, but was the only consistent
thing the congressman could do, under
the circumstances. I hope it n ay re
sult in uniting the democracy of the
city. C. W. S.
Judge Ambrose of Douglas county
will be chary about visiting the dis
trict of his brother judges when spe
cially requested so to do, after he reads
the attack upon his judicial character
in the News of the other evening.
Common courtesy ought to have sug
gested to the nastiest cur in the news
paper business that such an attack
was an offense for which there can be
no excuse. But when editors, both
members of the Cass county bar, wiite
such libelous articles or permit them
to -e published in their paper, it is
time action was taken by the bar of
Cass county m vindication of its hith
erto good character. Said an old law
yer to the writer recently: "Such con
duct is not in anywise a specimen of
the breeding or spirit of our bar, and
it has long been known that we have
some members who are a disgrace to
the profession and who, if they bad
their just deserts, would e doing time
in our penitentiary."
INCOME TAX AND NEW YORK.
Congressman Bourke Cockrin is re
ported to have said that if the demo
crats pass the income tax bill they can
figure New York state a- lost. This is
certainly poor argument against the
bill. It isn't arg'iment at all, it is ;
intimidation pure and simple. It is
no doubt true that, owing to the fact
that much of the wealth of th nation
is centered in New York, an income
tax would not be popular with New
Yorkers. It is not to be expected that
the fellows who will have to pay
tribute to equitable legislation will be
in favor of it. New York has many
millionaires and the income tax would
no doubt be obnoxious to them. But
if they were not the children of fortune
they ould not feel the force of such a
tax, and being thus fortunately situated
they are prepared to bear its burdens
and have no good grounds upon which
to base argument to the contrary. If
it is necessary, in order for the demo
crats to receive the support of New
York, to continue unjust and inequita
ble burdens upon all the people, then
let New York go over to the republican
side, where she will find a constituency
ever ready to do homage to aristocracy
and wealth. The republican party lias
paid tribute to capital and wealth by
imposing class legislation upon the
people, but only at the sacrifice of its
supremacy. No party, that aims to
protect the strong against the weak,
that makes the many servants of the
few, can succeed to power, neither is
any such party worthy of the support
of honest, fair-minded men. The in
come tax is both equitable and just, and
though the democracy should fall as a
result of its passage, the epitaph is
worth more than an existence by the
mere charity of the plutocrats. Party
success is worth nothing, and means
nothing, unless it is based upon princi
ple. As between New York and the
income tax the people prefer the latter
every time.
Ought to Go Higher.
Central City Democrat.
One day last week two great speeches
were made in congress, one in favor of
and the other against an income tax.
Both were made by democrats and the
speakers are the two ablest orators in
America. Burke Cochran spoke for the
monopolists and millionaries, and
Mryan, our own Bryan, spoke for sixty
millions of common people. The for
mer advocated the interests of the four
hundred and the latter for all the bal
ance. Bryan, pitied against the giant
of the east, maintained the wondetful
reputation as an orator and reflected
new honor on the state he represents.
No man of bis age in America,with the
possible exception of Henry Clay, ever
achieved so great a reputation as W. J.
Bryan. X ex t winter we must tell him
to go up higher. The people must com
bine against the politicians ' and send
our greatest citizen to the United
States senate.
The president has refused to ap
point a relative named Cleveland to a
district attorneyship in Ohio. A a re
sult a republican still holds the office
and draws the salary. Nepotism is bad,
but a Cleveland in any office is. better
than any republican.
IT IS DOOMED.
The federal election law is doomed.
This law is one of the most pernicious i
laws ever saddled upon the statutes.
Its purpose was to prevent a free ex
pression at the polls, to destroy the
very foundation upon which this repub
lic must forever rest in order to survive.
Goed and pure government can only
be maintained by freedom at the polls.
If the ballot be kept free and the peo
ple be permitted to superintend their
own elections do the' own counting
and their own voting--the government
will always be pure and strong. But
the moment the people suirender this
right that mon ent is good government
endangered. The federal elections law
which is now being prepared for the
undertaker, was passed for the purpose
of centralizing power and of arresting
righteous retribution. It was the in
tent.of thejrepublican paity to perpet
uate itself in power by the passage of
laws that would destroy the freedom
of the ballot, that woul.l, as
ex-Czar Reed said, enable tlum to do
"their own counting " Mr. Reed said
with such a law he "cared not how the
people voted," the inference being that
no matter how the people voted, the
republicans would count themsehesin.
The republicans contend that the law
was in the interest of an honest elec
tion. With the same consistency the
highwayman might contend that he is
in the. interest of charity. It was in
the interest of dishonesty and spoila
tion aud its repeal removes a very cum
bersome burden from the shoulders of
justice.
AMKIIICAN TIN."
Lluioln Herald.
"Tin, tin, American tin," was only
a year or two ago the cry to which re
publican clubs all over this broaa land
marched. American tin was the goal
of republican oratory, editorials and
legislation. All over the country pa
triots bedrened their bosoms with big
badges of purported native metal, the
mails were filled with samples sent to
editors, and the republican press
teemed with blaring prophecies that
the proper protection of American tin
meant wealth, prosperity and a liberal
education to everybody. Tin plate fac
tories sprang up like mushrooms, tin
mines were opened and credulous capi
talists joined in the craze. The demo
crat who doubted that the salvation of
the country was to be immediately
achieved by th tin-horn route was a
liar and horsethief.
Time went on, as time has a mer
ciless habit of doing. The excitement
cooled down. Tin plate factories, well
insured, burned down epidemically,
were paid for, and not rebuilt. The
mouths of tin mines dosed over the
money and labor that had been poured
into them. The imported Welsh work
ers in tin returned to their homes
across the water. A deathly silence
fell upon republican press and oratory.
Aud when the Wilson bill the other
day put tin on the free list not a
chirrup was heard in opposition.
American tin has been consigned to
the tomb. It now sleeps beside re
ciprocity and the other campaign fakes
with which the republican party
razzle-dazled the country.
IF YOU DAKE.
St. Louis Republic.
Republ'caus fought for an iron-clad
force bill and t. -light to keep the
weaker federal elections law they al
ready had.
.In their speeches some senators on
that side have said that th control of
federal elections was more important
than the tariff and currency questions.
Then let them make it the leading
issue of the campaign this fall. If the
force bill is so hih and holy that even
the precious tariff shines pallidly be
side it. the party which so believes
should certainly cry aloud for the cause
from every stump.
A force bill campaign ha never yet
len fought except in congress. Put
the issue before the people and call for
a decision upon whether the voters
shall conduct their own elections or
shall invite stringers to come in with
the bayonets of centralized power be
hind and the rewards of rapine belore
them.
Make it the issue and let the people
decide the next elections upon the
question of foice bill or no force bill.
