THE Topeka Journal lias dis
covered -why England is called the
-'tight little island. " There are
180,000 dram shops in it.
the United States1 authority -
ity behind the restriction of liquor
transportation into prohibition
states what is the trouble about
prohibition prohibiting ?
THE indications are that Colonel
McKeighan will be easily fanned
out by Mr. Harlan in the Second
district. The republican has two
strikes and no balls on him already.
Journal.
THE republican newspapers of
ilie second congressional district
are beginning to air the record of
Candidate McKeighan , and the ex
posures already made ought to end
tlie struggle. Nebraska cannot
afford to send such men to repre
sent her in the national house of
representatives. Journal.
THERE are at the present time
62,400 post offices in the United
States , an increase of 3.401 during
tke past ten years. The increase
during the past year was the great
est in our history , and about ten
times greater than the entire num
ber of post offices in the land when
tlie first Postmaster , Benj. Frank
lin , took charge of the Department.
"WHAT we want in politics is more
good sound sense and less claptrap
nonsense. The intelligent voter
should repel the advances of him
who talks one way and acts another.
There ought to be as much honesty
in politics as other business , and
the person who fails to practice
such is not fit to lead men or enjoy
office at the hands of an honest
people. Liberty Journal.
IN the city of New York , the
greatest city in the union , only
fourteen thousand persons lastyear
returned to the assessor any per
sonal property. "When less than
one per cent of the population of
a. great commercial city fails to re
turn their property to the assessor ,
it is plainly evident that our laws
of taxation and assessment are a
delusion and a snare.
THE farmers and anti-monopo
lists of this district can vote for Mr.
Harlan with confidence , as his
xeeord is a sufficient guarantee
that he will always "be found work
ing for their interests. The demo
crats have worked very shrewdly to
secure the nomination of Judge
McKeighan by the alliance conven
tion , feeling that they had a chance
to elect him ; but their hopes are
dashed to the earth by the nomina
tion of Mr. Harlan. McKeighan
may expect a worse defeat than
when he ran against Laird. Seward -
ard Eeporter ,
IT is asserted that in 1850 the
farmers owned three-fourths of the
aggregate wealth of this country
in 1860 about one-half , in .1880
about one-third and in 1890 barely
tf
one-fourth. If this statement is
accurate the awakening of the pee
pie to the importance of a better
understanding of economic ques
tions has not come any too soon
IN ONE of his soul-stirring anc
tear-fetching speeches , recently de
livered at Superior , Judge Me
Keighan made many remarkable
statements. Among other inter
esting things he assured his aud
ience that if he is elected to con
gress he would pass laws that wil
make it possible for men anc
women to live without labor
money will be provided and given
av/ay by the government ; there
will be no sickness no deaths
Allah be praised. Great is Me
Keighan. Like Joshua of old , he
can make the sun stand still unti
he gets through fighting the Phil
istines. He can make the crops
grow and will chase away the hog
cholera. Bee.
SAYS Calhoun of the democratic
Lincoln Herald : "The editor o
this paper naturally had a gooc
deal of fun while in attendance on
the state convention in connection
with his temperance views. In the
course of a social chat on the sub
ject of open saloons he happenec
to mention that he had a son whose
future welfare was somewhat in
volved. He was told that all he
had to do to make the boy safe was
just to raise him so he wouldn'
want to go into a saloon. He has
had the suggestion under consid
eration for a week or so and con
cluded it would be easier to raise
the saloon so the boy can nevei
find it. A danger that has been
abolished is no longer a danger.
It is poor policy to avoid dangei
that may be removed. "
THE Australian system puts the
voter squarely on his feet. The
rule of the hoodlum and heeler is
over. His kingdom is swept away.
The citizen need no longer be the
victim of the hoodlum caucus. He
need not further contest with howl
ing importations at the primary.
Delegates in convention may be
brought or bought to improper
nominations but the right men may
be elected and the right may still
prevail. The cliques and rings
have become weak and the people
strong. Voters of the rank and
file may assert their rights and
raise their voices in spite of the
machine. The Australian system
opens wide the way. It offers sure ,
safe , easy avenues of action. The
voter may tread therein without
money and without price. The law
will take and print and peddle and
protect his ticket. It can come
from the humble , the lordly , the
high , the low and get even equal
consideration.
THE outlook for national legis
lation compelling railroads to equip
their rolling stock with automatic
safety couplers is favorable. The
house committee on railroads and
canals has combined in one meas
ure the best features of several bills.
The committee calls attention to the
necessity of legislation to check
the frightful loss of life and limb
caused by the present death deal
ing couplings. Nineteen hundred
and seventy-two railroad employes
were killed and twenty thousand
and twenty-eight injured during
the year 1889. A large per cent
of this appalling list must be cred
ited to the ever present dangers of
the link and pin coupling and the
hand brake. It is certainly witii-
in the power of congress to enact
and enforce a law designed to di
minish the annual slaughter and
maiming of railroad operatives.
State legislation cannot reach the
evil. An act of congress alone can
secure the desired uniformity of
automatic safety appliances in the
equipment of railroad cars. Bee.
.THE experiment in capital-shar
ing with employes that the Illinois
Central Eailroad is inaugurating
.will be watched with a great deal"
of interest. The corporation in
vites its employes to invest their
savings in the stock of the Com
pany , one share or more at a time ,
according to the means , at the
market price. Shares can be pur
chased on installments , interest be
ing allowed on all money paid in ,
and the purchaser may withdraw
at any time and have his invest
ments paid back to him. It is be
lieved by the officers of the Com
pany that this plan , if generally
accepted by the men employed on
the road , will result in establishing
a community of interests that will
be 'beneficial to all concerned.
Theoretically the scheme is admira
ble and well worthy of serious at
tention. How it wilHvork in prac
tice remains to be seen. If it
should accomplish even part of
what is hoped for , it might offer a
possible solution of sdine of the
troubles that now exist in the rela
tions of railway employes to the
corporations for which they toil.
R. B. WAHLQUIST , editor of the
Adams County Democrat , who was
nominated , last week , at the demo
cratic state convention for auditor ,
is a Scandinavian by birth and by
practice a general all around good
fellow. His paper is the most
prominent democratic paper in the
Second congressional district , and
to recognize the press by placing
him on the state ticket was the
proper thing to do. He will be
defeated by a handsome majority ,
but he will not be disfigured , and
when the fight is over he will still
be in the ring and his bosom will
still heave with that lorn and lonely
hope that springs eternal in the
democratic breast. The Adver
tiser leans kindly toward young Mr.
Wahlquist because he is young.
There is a suculent freshness , in
juicy youth that disarms criticism
and pleases the naked eye. Sutton -
ton Advertiser.
SIXTY-FOOB millions ! That is
a good many people. Great Brit
ain claims sway over a much larg
er number , but three-fourths of all
British subjects are under colonial
governments. China and Eussia
alone exceed the United States in
the number of persons directly un
der a central government , and we
may therefore justly claim that
this is the greatest civilized nation
on the face of the globe. And in
asmuch as the rate of its growth
shows no diminution , we may fair
ly expect that the end of this cen-
niry will see a republic inhabited
by more than eighty million people.
THE churches of New York are
uniting to assist in the downfall
of Tammany , this fall. The lead
ing clergymen have already joined
; he municipal league and it is
; hought that all will come in before
; he campaign begins in earnest.
The idea is to make each church
a political club during the struggle.
Perhaps this is not exactly the kind
of work that they were organized
perform , but it is not easy to see
hat they can do more good by tak-
ug any other course. Fighting
Tammany is booming practical
Christianity. Journal.
ME. ELAINE'S splendid exposi-
ion of the principle of taking as
well as giving when it comes to
jutting a great staple on the free
ist , at Waterville , Maine , bore
immediate fruit. The senate has
amended the sugar schedule so
hat sugar shall be free on condi-
ion that the sugar producing
countries admit free of duty the
great staples of the United States.
Phis action will take sugar out of
; he tariff debate and greatly expe-
lite the business of congress , for
sugar was a sore subject.

HOW THEY DAMAGE THE STATE.
THE ranting of such demagogues
and shysters as McKeighan and
Kemm since the "independent"
campaign opened has renewed in
the east the idea formerly created
by the incendiary slush of Burrows
aud Van "Wyke , that the farmers
of Nebraska are bankrupt , that they
cannot make a living out of the
soil of the prairies , and that in the
course of a few years the land of
the greater portion of the state will
be deserted and will return to the
original wilderness , ready for the
buffalo and coyote to resume their
residence. There is little doubt
that the malicious lies scattered
broadcast by these arrant hypo
crites , and eagerly snatched up by
the newspapers of Iowa and other
states back to Massachusetts and
Maine that are jealous of the rapid
growth of the great northwest and
adverse to seeing their young men
leave for Nebraska to grow up
with the country , have for the time
being , at least taken several dollars
off the market price of every acre
of farming laud in the state. It
so happens that in several recently
settled counties on the western fron
tier there will be real distress dur
ing the coming winter 011 account
of the failure of the crops from the
hot winds and drouth. This will
assist much as an apparent endorse
ment of the stories of pauperism
and starvation told by the dema
gogues. The injury will not be
permanent , but it will for the next
year or two be sufficient to add
greatly to the discomfort of many
a Nebraska homesteader , by the
impairment of his credit and the
shrinkage of his working capital ,
which is the cash value of his farm.

A SUBLIME SPECTACLE.
THE following striking picture
of the Democratic party , subordina
ting every interest-aiiti-monopoly ,
tariff reform , a free ballot , free
coinage , all that might ameliorate
the condition of the people-to the
whiskey interest , is taken from
Calhoun's article which will be
published in to-morrow morning's
Call :
- As soon as we have secured to
some men the assured right to
spread brutality and poverty , to
sow the seeds of strife and murder ,
to starve women and children
then we will come to the aid of the
victims of class misrule , corporate
conspiracy , and tariff robbery. It"
is a sublime spectacle. Six mil
lions of men on a crusade for good
government , pursuing an errand
of liberation , pause in their march
until the saloon keeper is put be
yond all danger or responsibility.
Such an incident is without a par
allel in human history. It is the
colossal blunder of the ages if it be
seriously undertaken.
