of Iho southern states men have been
noniiimtod for congress and forstato of

other southern states the sub-trcisury
scheme has been formally repudiated ,
and no heto is It supported , with any
thing like the interest of a month or two

"which will make ail honest nnd olTee-
tiio usury lav , ono tlut vlll forfeit

Is practical and the republican pnity is

legislation. Another pia tical sxigges-
tlon isto " ringtho water out of stocks

fixing- rates that will insuio a fair divi

republican party of Nobraslw is com
mitted to. There is not a practicable or
rational reform or nioasuro ol relief to
tlio people demanded by thoso-callei in-
dcpondonb party , in whose behalf Gen-
Dial Van \YyckIs making a campaign ,
tlat the republican party Is not pledged
to effect , and it is only to that party the
people can sifoly look for the desired
legislation.
The plain duty ot the producers wlio
demand practical measures tint -\vill i
sure present benolits Is 1o support the
ropubllctvn party. They cannot hope to
accomplish anything by adllhtlng with

event of such ufflllatlon resulting in

a possible clianco of iocuring any of the

SECTIONS \riLl \ UK
The letter of Secretary Blnlno to the
33oot and Shoo club of Boston may not
bo regarded with universal faior in Now
England , Ijecauso it conveys un implied
censure of the sentiment In that section
opposed to lociprocity which it is intl
mated has Its motive in sectional selfish'
ness. Some ol the roprosenlnthos of
l\To\v \ England In congieas hiivomanl

iN'ew Lrfgland isto receiio the amplest
piotectlonfor all her manufacturing in
dustries in the now tariff itwill bo both
inexpedient and injurious for her ropra-
scntatlvos to disrogaid a nioasuro whieli
vlll promote western Interests. Iho re-
bjkoforsueh inelTect ills , is timely ami
just. It has been tlio disposition in Koiv
Ilnglnnd forsotno years to look with dis
favor uponnoaily o > ory measure of pub-
lie policy ivhlcli promised imtorial ad
vantages to the west , and this siilrit ot
sectional selfishness or jealousy has
become clironlc , In the last pros !
dential campilpn Mr , Don Dick
inson , then postinnstcr general , charged
that the pervading fooling in Now Eng
land vaa ono of eonllrined hostility to
Avostoin in-ogrosd and prosperity , and
svliilo this accusation may not have been
entirely just , it was not wholly ejround-
less. The exlutonco of such n feeling
mny npponr to bo incompatible with the
-fact that IN'ow Tngland capital has prof
ited enormously by western investments ,
hut numerous circumstances might be
cited to show that the fooling does exist.
The suggestion thnt rccipiocity with
tlio southern countries might be
largely beneficial to the producers of tlio
irost , by ghing them now markets for
their surplus , i\as \ sulllcicnt to induce a
conspicuous manifestation of this spirit ,
though It Is but Just to sty that It was
not general. 3t was a Now England , sen
ator vho proposed and carried through
the reciprocity amendment to thotarlll
bill. Influential newspapers In that sec
tion Imvo approved the policy , anil the
club to which Mr. Ulnino addressed his
letter has endoised it. Dut there nre
prominent representatives of that sec
tion in and out of congress who oppose *
tlio policy for reasons , so fur as they
have vouchsafed any , tlio sectional mo
tive ofwliloh is evident And yet it Is
not nppiueht how Now England could ,
possibly bo placed at any disadvantage )
> y the proposed policy , or why , indeed ,
t should not result toliorbcncllt , if any
good came from It , In nearly or qutto
nal measure -with any other section ,
\.aJlr. llluino said , reciprocity Is not a
ilorn interest only. It vlll bene
fit both the farm and. the shop II
vliat is o < pccted from It should bo ical-
zed. The manuftcturersof Kow linff'

neasuro which vlll piouiolo vcstorn in-

Regarding the nrguments vhlch Mr ,
Blalno presents in this letter In behalf
of ( flvlnj ? iccipiocity a trial , they are
certainly plausible 11 not conelmivo ,
Wo cannot UIIOF vhat the proposed

The request of the NobiasUnrole-
phone company for jwrinlislon to place
its wires xmdorgroundshould bo promptly
giantcd by the council , under proper
safeguards. It la the "beginning of n
movement that will eventually result in
placing all overhead wlrosundor giound ,

The streets and alleys of the city , par-
ticulaily in the business section , aio en-
cnmbeied vlth nnctnorliof vlreH. This

naturally destroys tlio usefulness of the

and c cr present danger will bo a\crted ,
No mutter how much care is cxercibod ,
the ciossinjj of telcphonowires with
light and tnotoiMvircs is liable to occur
at any moment , transmitting to
hundreds of homos a danger
ous current. As n measure ot self-
piotoctlon , thoiefoio , the company Is
obliged to place its wires underground.
The change wrill necessitate the up
rooting of pavements in the streets and
alloys , but this cannot bo avoided. The
resulting benefits will repay the tempo
rary inconvenience suffered. The great
advantage to bo gained in removing the
raft of overhead wires and improving
the nppoaianco of the streets vlll bo
appreciated by business men and prop
erty owners. It is the beginning of tlio
end of the unsightly forest of poles
lining the streets , and the city author
ities should encourage the reform by

rrrr nomination ef Mr. Dorsoy means
a red-hot campaign In the Third con
giossionnl district. His success In the
convention is largely duo to federal of
ficeholders , Two years ago ho declared
that ho would not stand for re-election
and agood many republicans had taken
him nt his word , but the1 very acilinonl-
ous warfare that has boon made upon him
personally , coupled with the fact that
the opposition is dividedhave , doubtless
piomptcd Jlr. Dorrioy to re-enter the field
and niako the light. The responsibility
for tlio outcome will bo Avith him.
IT is more than probable that the
-Mississippi constitutional contention
vlll fall to accomplish its purpose. The
democracy Is rlpo for any scheme which
vlll insure permanent , peaceful suprem
acy of the minority , but as jot no feasi
ble plan has been produced. The edu
cational qualification 1 nclcs the vital es
sential that of disqualifying the illiter
ate colored vote without disfranchising-
ignorant whites. A poll tax will network
work the light way , while the property
qualification. Is objectionable bcuauao it
vcstn too much power in the Inndloids
and sliikesthopoorof hoth parties with
equal forco. The Australian system of
\oting Is diBcicditcil because of Its se
crecy , the very principle which , If hon
estly enforced , would drive the domoe-
incy from power In a majority of the
southern states , None of the four plans
proposed for settling1 the suffrage lias
sufficient backing In the convention to
insure success , As a consequence , a
serious rupturois brewing in the demo
cratic ranks , ami unless a change comes
o\or \ the spirit of the comention , the
shotgun and the bulldo/or will bo rein

Tnn political situation in Kansas Is

or ro-submibsion ticket , headed by cx-
Covcrnor Robinson , The combined al
liance and so-called fusion ticket it is
claimed by consorv.itivo . politicians rcp-
lesenls at least ono hundred and filty
thousand votes. If this strength is
brought out at the polls , republicans and
their prohibition folly nro apt to have a

It Is tbo fashion of ono kind of newspapers
In Kansas to proclaim tuat piohibltlon has
been a eratlfyinp success ; tbut it has ban-
Ishcdtho "open saloon ; " suppressed drunk
enness ; raised the standard of tlio morals of
the people ; decreased the amount of orimo ;
lessened the number of paupers and brougat
prosperity to the state. Lot us look at this
matter calmly nnd dispassionately , stripped
of all buncombe , partisan feollnf ; and high-
sounding im jrtlons. It Is reasonable to
suppose that if the prohibitory law had
brought with It all the peed that n cer
tain clique claim for it , tlio great : majority
of our pcoplo ivould bo content to let that
amendment remain In the constitution of the
state. Iu fact It is not unreasonable to think
that nine out of every ton men would bo per
fectly satisfied \vithasystcin that lias boon
and now In advancing tuu interests of their
state.
But are the pcoplo of Kansas thus satisfied

In tliestato , their property Is here , their busi
ness Is here , and they can possibly have no
earthly motive in misreprcscntinj ? their state ,
or in adopting a policy that would hurt
Its interests , if tbelr interests und the In-
torcstt of the people of Kansas had boon ad
vanced by prohibitory iiiws , not a single
delegate In that convention would huvo voted

Bless your s cct life , the prohib icpulill-
cans of Kansas do not talk temperance.
Their platform doesn't say a sln lo &olitin :
word about tcinnemnco. They do not tiilu
tempcranto , and they do not practice tcm-
porunco by any menus. Their talk Is all
about "prohibition , " which belnp liberally
Inteipretcd means whisky and beer for them ,
but prohibition for the "poor dcUls" who monet
not able to keep the purest wines , Avhlslcloi
and brandies in their cellars as most of the
professional prohibition politicians of JCaiisas
are Itnown to do. There Is 110 totnpemnca
plank In the platform adopted by the recent
prohibition republican convention. That
platform contains a plank endorsing prohibi
tion , but prohibition in Kansas ( or uny other
state , for that matter ) does not now and
never did mean temperance , never has
brought nbout temperance , nor taken a slugla
step la that direction.
TUB NO-IMUl'EK LIE.
The Marlon Olobo Is ono of the most Inde
pendent and fearless papers In the stato. II
is a staunch republican paper , but will not
train with the Kansas prohibition side-show.
Last winter that old political shyster and
clerical hjpocrito , Kev. Ucrnaid Kelly ( who
thinks mom ot an o.llco than lie does of Ida
leliglon or his God ) , mndo a speech la Em-
porla In which ho made n statement In rafpr.
cnco to the number of paupers In the various
counties in tha state , giving Marlon couatyas
ono that had no paupers. The Globe took" the
matter up nnd showed that this statement
was absolutely false , nnd that Marlon had. at
the time the speech ws made a larpo number
of indigent persons supported bythoiounty.
The "roasting" that Iho Olobo gave the rev
erend falslllor as only equalled bythoona
ho fiavo Hudson last week on the lattcr's
barefaced falsehood In regard to tbo number
of mortgage foreclosures in that county. Thu
political preachers and lying prohibition
