It now looks as if congress will

In passing of the railroad bill

passage. *
The future of the republican
party is assured if it is controlled

'who stand for progress and hu
manity. It will live'and flourish
if it manifests its ability and
willingness to serve the common

keep in the middle of the road
under noble leadership to an
abiding place in the affections of
the people. Manchester Mirror.
Governor Harmon may not be
i presidential sisse , but at least he
is too big a man to be spanked in
public by Mr. Bryan. The "titu
lar leader" of the democratic
party appeals to possessed with
the idea that a man wear his
, brand in order to be eligible to
the democratic nomination for
president. The delusion does
not tend to promote party har

Thai Comet's a Democrat ,
The 40,000,000-mile tail of
Ilalley's comet could be rolled up
and put into an ordinary suitcase
so little solidity has it. It seems
to be very similar to the demo
cratic party very thin , very
light , very long drawn out , very
unsubstantial , and coming from
anywhere or nowhere and bound
for anywhere , everywhere and no
where. It is bulk and bluff and
babble and blubber and blather ,
It threatens destruction and dis
sipates into obscurity. Piqua
Daily Call.
Were it a matter of carrying
the presidential election in 1912
and of nothing more , the republi
cans could afford to let the demo
crats obtain control of the next
house. A democratic house next
year would insure republican
success the year following. But
there are legimatc problems to
solve. The country does not
want a deadlock upon congres
sional action. Its interests lie
in the republican success at the
polls next November. Hence ,
the prospect of a dctnocratic
victory will grow fainter as elec
tion day draws near. The people
ple will not throw away the
opportunity to rccure from the
next congress the legislation
they need. They will not let the
democrats get control of the
house. Denver Republican ,
Kinkaid voted lor Joe Cannon
for speaker of the house and voted
for the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
He gave the poor homesteader a
sand claim and took a coal claim
for himself. Ucacon.
Yes Congressman Kinkaid
voted for Cannou for Speaker
after he was made the caucus
nominee. Any loyal republi
can would haic done the same.
The only thing then to be done
was to vote for Cannon or a dem
ocrat. He was not elected by
the democrat party and to have
voted against his party nominee
would have been disloyal.
Yes he voted for the Payne-
Aldrich bill as a party measure ,
the best that could be secured
and a measure immensely better
than anything of the kind the
democratic congress ever passed ,
lie gave the homesteader 640
acres of the best government
land in'.Nebraska , when the bill
was passed. Land on which
many a poor man now has pros
pered in the past five years. A
claim which they took in preference -
ence to a coal claim in Alaska.
Any man has a right to file on a
coal claim in Alaska or anywhere
else if he is icady to comply with
the requirmeuta of the klaw.
Glavis in his testimony said
Congressman Kinkaid violated
no requirements of the law in
filing on a coal claim. At that
time Balliuger was not secretary
of the interior and had a right
to act as agent for any one that
cared to employ him.
Tree Trade and Emigration.
Heavy emigration from the
United Kingdom is a strong argu
ment against free trade , and it is
one that is being used frequently
by students of economics and
government. The United States
has grown tremenduously under
the protective tariff , and at the
present time free trade is the
blogal that no political party in
in this country , and democracy
long ago saw the fallacy of it.
For years labor in England has
been in a wretched condition ,
and things are going from bad to
worse. There may be foices at
work other than free trade to ac
count for it , but yet there can be
no doubt but that the continu
ance of free trade is the real
cause of the alarming extent of
emigration from the British Isles.
Workmen are seeking countries
where employment is assured
them. Where do they go to ?
Investigate and you will find that
they are going to such nations
as are unfriendly to free trade ,
and that accounts for the thous.
auds that come to American
shores. Standard of Empire , a
British newspaper , states that
"present indications from ship-
pine ; offices and other agencices
show that the total for the year
is likely to be over 300,000. Sir
Gilbert Parker , a member of the
British Parliament , speaking on
this subject , said : "There is de
pression in every department of
our industrial life. Men shake
the dust of England off their feet
and say , 'Thank God ! ' as they go
because they go to countries
where there is work to get and
permanent work to be had
where they can increase their
standard of living and claim a
higher wage ; where the work
man and the manufacturer com
bine to defeat the unfair competi
tion of foreign nations. ' No
workman in any of our colonies
or in the United States wants to

come back to free trade ; they had
it and they bad enough of it.
That there should be exultation
on the part of thousands of our
fellow countrymen leaving these
shores for want of opportunity to
qaru a decent living , is a queer
interpretation of the facts. No
other country shows such an
exodus ; no other country wants
to show it. " When England
protect her industries and assures
them of perpetual prosperity ,
then her laborers will have work
atd she will have to give atten
tion to imigration and not dis
agreeable emigration. N e w

GOV. SIIALLENBERGER'S SPEECH
As Viewed By One Who Heard It.
The great democratic feast
day has come and gone. The
governor has come , received the
felicitations of all our people and
the homage of the great faithful
unwashed democarcy including-
Ross Moore and Charley Orr.
He has delived his speeches to
an admiring populace and has
gone his way We were glad to
see the governor and hear him
talk. He is the governor of all
our people and because he is our
governor we are always glad to
see him. He is a pleasing and
clever talker without being elo-
quentjhe is entertaining , without
being frank in his public utter-
anceshewas ; | fairly honest , with *
out meaning to do so , he brought
comfort , consolation and pride to
many a republican heart. He
said such prosperity as we
now enjoy had seldom been
known in the history of the
world. We agreed with him. It
occurred to me also , governor ,
that the fact that this debt hav
ing been all discharged by the
republicans might explain the
reason why your levy for your
own democratic bieunium could
be made so much less as you
claimed it has been. Of course
you did not tell us that the debt
having been paid by your prede
cessors two years agoyou did not
require so great a levy , of course
not , you are arguing only one side
of the case and as I said in the be
ginning you were fairly honest
without being1 frank.
Come again governor we shall
always be glad to see you , and if
Jim Dalhman does not get your
scalp at the primares and if you
can succeed in making a combin
ation of the Brewery vote , the
church vote , the labor vote and
the railroad vote as you did two
years ago you may be elected such
speeches as you made here have
a tendency to arrouse recolections
of a past which has not been
over creditable to your party.
Even such a black republican
as Jules Haumont approved of
this statement though it came
from a democratic governor , he ap
proved it. We know he did be
cause we saw him nod his head
in pleasing ascent. We could

not banish the thought however
that we are living under a repub
lican admistration , governed by
repuplican laws and if the law
and its adjudication and admin
istration has any influence on
conditions the credit is certainly
due the republican party. Be
cause as the governor truly said
the democrats had only been in
control of national affairs once
since the civil war and even
Judge Boblits would be glad to
expunge from the records every
thing they did during their short
lease"of power.
You all remember the Wilson
Bill , it comes to all of us like a
night mare even yet over the
lapse of thirteen years since it
was replaced by the Dingley Bill ,
passed by a republican congress.
Yes for all these kind sugges
tion governor , we most earnestly
thank you. It is a kind pro
vision of our nature which leads
us to forget the bad and remem
ber the good and reveling in the
prosperity of the past twelve or
fourteen years. We had almost
forgotten , the calamity of 1892-96
"Speaker Crisp , the Wilson Bill
and all the calamitous con
ditions which attended the
only democratic regime whic h
it has been our misfortune to
have since the civil war. We
were glad to hear you say too
that the state is now out of debt
and loaning money instead of
borrowing money for the first
time in its history. Our memory
is not very good but we can re
member a time when our floating
debt was nearly $2,000,000 and all
our state expenses were paid in
interest bearing warrants. We
remember too that one George
Sheldon came up to the state
senate from Cass county and in
troduced a bill providing for a
special levy to pay off this debt.
We are gratified to know that the
bill passed , became a law through
the good offices of a republican
house and senate and a icpubli-
can governor. In due time the
debt was all wiptd out and the
felicitous conditions which you
described in your own inimicable
style were the result. Of course

Washington Letter.
Washington D. C. Senator
Dolhver , just before the passage
of the Railroad bill , said : "I re
gard the session of Congress ,
which , for three months or more
has given an uninterrupted atten
tion to these questions , as one of
the most remarkable and most
instructive in the whole history
of our Government. "
Not a single republican senator
voted against the bill. It was a
most prounced Administration
victory. It is as yet too early to
analyze the bill , for is may be
changed somewhat before its
final passage , but it will be a
long step in advance , and the
fulfillment of , one of the most
important republican pledges.
It was a. matter of comment , of
course that Senator Cumminga
who took such an active part in
delaying the passage of the bill
should , on the day of its passage ,
have been in Iowa making
speeches not particularly conductive - >
ductive to republican harmony. X. "
In fact , he was engaged in an * "
effort to defeat one of the strong- '
esl and ablest republican members
of Congress. Had he been
present , he would have voted for
the bill , but his absence on such
an errand at such a time , is
signified.
