TOUY idiocy was never moro strik ingly displayed than in attempting- suppress u principle by jailing- advo cates , _ VlYK party tickets are afloat in Min- nesotti. Political condolences will ho gratefully received in that unfortunate region. Tins burning feuds of Indiana are being - ing drenched with copious showers of goi-Cf and democratic strength is oozing out at countless gaping woundu. THE liujfo split developed in the ro- publiunu i-iuikfl in Texas , gives a refreshing - freshing signiileanco to Cnndlduto Flnntingun'fl historic phrase , "What nro wo here for ? " THIS world's fair site Is again beyond the range of unaided vision. Ono thing is settled ; Chicago must respect , the will of the nation , regardless of the welfare of local speculators. DEMOCRATS now display ns much nr- rognnco and indifference to rules and duty in leaving the house us they did twonty-niiio yearn tijjo. And the motive ia the same. Tins Twin Cities of Minnesota should stop rjum-reling1 long enough to congratu- lute ejicli other on having tlio revised count completed and announced hoforo the federal grand jury began its deadly work. 'TIS an ill-wind thnt blows nobody good. The rush of foreign innuufnuturos to America in anticipation of the in creased tariff , will glut the market nnd result iu a stagnation of pricoa which inubt benefit the consumer , and temporarily arily , ut least paralyze the profits of the home monopolists. Tliu settlement of the race problem 'receives another repulse in an unex pected njmrtoi1. In carrying out a laudable purpose the school board of Columbus , Ind. , placed a white toucher in charge of a colored class , whereat the parents rebelled and refused to permit their youngsters to imbibe knowledge " from "poor" white trash. " Separate schools nnd colored teachers were de manded , which the fachool board promptly refused. Ilenco'tho solution of the race question is indefinitely post poned. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TJin Loartl of trade ot Yunkton supple ments and alllrms reports from other ecctloiiH of South Dakota , to the effect that the harvest ia fully up to the nvor- ngo nud is not surpassed by Ohio , Indl- nnn , or Illinois. With the exception of a few isolated sections In the northnrn and central portions of the state , there 1ms been no damage from drouth , and the year's crop on the whole is excellent. Tlio report , coming from reliable" Bourccs , furnishes gratifying proof of South Dakota's ' complete recovery from the distressing losses of past seasons. R ciinportod colonels of Kansas nro not content to earn their salaries by Blundering Nebraska. Tlio Shelton In cident proves that they are capable of baser crimes , and it behooves fathers nnd big brothers to keep a watchful eye on the Dills and others of that ilk. The hired detainers of a state will not sorujilo to attack the character of Its people , and as a measure of self-detonso these pretended dofondora ot "the homo" should bo vigorously excluded from the homes ot Nebraska , Tlio boys will take care of themselves. Look out for the girls. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A CONOUESSIONAL junket to the tor- rito'-ios is proposed , for the purpose of determining whether the people of New Mexico , Arizona nnd Utah are ripe for statehood. Tlio object Is not so much to acquire information ns to provide an on- Joyublo journey for cor tain inomLors and their families at the expense of the gov ernment. Itia a rollcetion on the In telligence of congress to sity that It is not acquainted with tho'eondition of the remaining territories. The reports of the odlclals , supplemented with tlio cen sus , furnish more reliable Information than any committee can secure. Obsor- Vatlpns from car windows and the knowledge imbibed at banquets cannot outweigh Iho facts acquired by long1 resi dence among the people , Experience shows that .congressional junkets nro practically useless In determining legis lation , and are nn Inexcusable waste of public money , Ot'EXIXO OF The republican campaign In Nebraska ill be formally opened today , and there- fter until the day of election In Jfovom- will bo carried on with carnostntws nd vigor. Tlio time is ample in which o perform the work thut will insure the Ictory of the rcpubllcnn party by nn ild-lline majority. Thcro has been notli- uglost by not entering upon tlio cam- laign nt nn earlier date. On the cou ntry , there lias been a positive gntn rom the opportunity given tlio elements ntngonlzlng the republican party to bo , onrd. Tlio intelligent voters of No- raska who have supported republican ism In the past will need less argument o convince them ot their duty to remain ilthtul to the principles and policy of he republican party now thnt they im- erstaml the attitude ot its opponents. VIready it has been insulo clear hat there is nothing to bo hoped or that will advance the pros- Kjrlty ot the people and the volfuro of the state from those who , brnicrly acting with the republican i.'irty , are now making war on It , and it is needle * * to say that democratic sue- ess would bo fatal to every measuru of 'eform and relief desired and demanded > y the people. The history of Nebraska under unin- .erritplod republican rule la n history ot almost unequalled progress. In but little iiorothan two decades the populationo ( he itn o has grown from loss than a lunrter of a million to a million and a quarter , and the increase of wealth has been even more rapid. In all the condl- Ions of Intellectual and social improve ment there hns been a steady and rapid ulvnncc , so that in no other state of tbo .inion are the people , as a whole , more irosporous , contented nnd happy than the people of. Nebraska. Grant thnt the -opiibUuun party has made mistakes and been guilty of shortcomings , still an administration of affairs during nearly n quarter of a century under which such notable progress in nil directions has been achieved must have been in ovary essential respect wise md right , and it constitutes a record upon which the party can fairly and un reservedly ask the contimmnoo of the confidence and support of the people. The republican party is pledged to pre serve all tlmt has proved to bo wise and just in Its past administration of affairs and to adopt such now policies as exist ing conditions demand or experience has shown to be necessary to subserve the intoroots of the people. It favors the en actment of more stringent usury laws and their enforcement under severe pen alties. It demands tbo reduction of freight and pa.isengor rates on railroads to correspond with rates now prevailing In the adjacent states to the Mississippi , and tlio abolition ot nil passes and free transportation on railroads excepting for employcsof the companies. It holds that owners ot public elevators for the btorago of grain should bo declared public ware housemen and compelled to handle the grain of nil pcrbons alike , the &tato rog- luting charges for storage nnd inspec tion ; nnd also that railroad companies bo required to liandlo the grain of all per&ons without discrimination. It fa vors compelling railroads nnd manufac turers to use appliances for thu protec tion of laborers against accidents , and demands legislation defining the liabil ity ot employers for injuries sustained by employes in cases where proper safe guards have not been used in occupations dangerous to life , limb or health. It holds that railroad and other public cor porations should bo subject to control through the legislative power that cre ated them , and would prohibit by strin gent laws the illegitimate increase of block or capital. It domnnds that the property of corporations shall bo taxed the same ns tlmt of individuals. It fa vors u revision of the election laws of the state so as to guarantee to every voter the greatest possible secresyin the casting ot his ballot and secure the punishment of any who may attempt the corruption or intimidation of voters. Such are the important principles which the republican party of Nebraska is pledged to carry out it it is continued In power. They are rational , practica ble and essential , demanded in the inter est ot good government and the general welfare , and defensible as just to all. No other party lias promised the people bo much , and no other can bo depended on to do so much. Why , then , should not the republican party of Nebraska , with the splendid history of the state attesting the wisdom of its past admin istration of affairs , still command the confidence and support of the people ? Thcro is no good reason , but on the con trary every consideration affecting the luturo welfare of Nebraska demands re publican success. There is still much to bo done for advancing the prosperity of this great state and promoting the Interests of its people tlmt can bo safely entrusted only to the republican party. TUK TISKASUliY POLICY. There was some discussion in the sen ate on Thursday of the recent policy ot the treasury department which is likely to attract general attention at least in financial circles. Senator Plumb intro duced n resolution calling upon the sec retary of the treasury for information regarding the effect of paying checks for silver bullion over the counter ot the sub-treasury Instead of through the proper clearing house , as to whether it does not result in paying out notes of larger denomination instead of those suited for circulation mid use in ordi nary business transactions , and whether such method ot payment does not result In the payment of gold instead of treasury notes , In speaking to his resolution , which was prompted by the suggestion of aNew Now York banker that there is danger in the hank withdrawals of treasury gold , Senator Plumb said there had been recent consplcious illustration of the Impolicy ot allowing the treasury department to obstruct or accelerate the business at the country. Ho criticised the course of the secretary In holding money in the treasury until ajwnla was impending and then giving It out to holders of government bonds under such circumstances us to enable them to control - trol- the money supply of the country during their pleasure. lie thought It safe to suy that the money paid out by the treasury In redemption of bonds would be used by those receiving it lor their own benefit and not In the interest of the people , nnd hu expressed the opinion thnt nothing but an overwhelm ing calamity would over divorce the treasury from such malicious tntorfcr- cnco with the business of the country. Secretary Sherman defended the course of the treasury department n ? being In strict execution of tlio law , BO far as related to the payment for silver bullion in treasury notes of largo denominations. That was unavoid able owing to the fact that there 1ms not been time since the now silver law went into effect to prepare nsulll- dent amount of treasury notes of small denominations. But Senator Sherman doubted the policy of paying n year's in terest on bonds In advance. lie did not think there was any danger of a serloui financial disturbance , the scat'o being the work ot speculators , but ho was of the opinion that the secretary of the treasury should ho permitted to use his discretion. It is doubtless unquestionable that the late policy of the treasury department has been strictly within the law , but it has called attention moro forcibly than over baforo to the intimate relations ex isting between the treasury and the money market and the enormous Influ ence which the former may exert upon the business of the country , and thcro has been a good deal of expression as to the expediency or necessity of di vorcing them. It is easy to see how under present conditions a secre tary of the treasury could unsettle the business of the country almost nt will , but it is not so simple a in utter to dis cover how ho may bo deprived of this great and dangerous power. As our monetary nnd fiscal systems now nro it is Inevitable that moro or less discretion must bo allowed to the secretary ot the treasury , but so long as this is the case however wise , able and honest the man at the head of the treasury department there will bo cause for apprehension in the always imminent danger of action injurious to financial and business inter ests. In tlio present instance the secre tary has not exceeded the law , but It is yet to bo determined whether ho hns wisely used his discretion. The tragic death of two CMicyonno In dians illustrates the wholesome regard for Undo Sam's power that has been in jected into the most savage of Sioux tribes. The Indians foully murdered a white man and their surrender was de manded by the authorities. To escape the consequences of their crime was im possible. This the murderers well knew and bought to purchase Immunity with ponies. Failing in this , their interpre ter challenged the sold lord nnd Indian police to battle. Fifty armed men awaited tlio onset. The two mounted murderers twica charged the lines and retreated unhurt. The third time they rode on to donth and came so close to the soldiers thnt the line wavered before they fell riddled with bullets. A more reckless exhibition of dare deviltry was never witnessed at an agency. A few years ago those bloodthirsty bucks would have defied the authorities successfully. But the avenues of escape are now closed , and the murderers chose deliber ate sulcido in open battle in preference to the ignominy of the gallows. The means was admirable , , bravo and effect ive. THE flood of money poured out of the sub-treasury stilled the troubled waters of speculation in New York. The Wall street gamblers who imagined they had effected a corner on money were sadly disappointed. The promptitude of the government in anticipating legitimate demands proved a costly lesson to the schemers. LIFE insurance companies complain of excessive mortality and consequently n serious reduction in their profits. This melancholy condition serves the good purpose of convincing the uninsured of the uncertainties of lifo nnd the wisdom of providing immificontly for his heirs and assigns.

N'oboJy who thinks nt nil but recognizes the untold nnd unnainnblo evils of the Ui-lulc habit , and it Is llttlo wonder that those es pecially who hnvo bad near and dear friends rulnod , body , soul and estate , by an uncon trolled habit , should bo in favor of KoliiR to the furthermost limits allowed by law to wreak their vonpanco upon the tranlc. Monde do not think alike , however , and cannot nroo always on what h the host to bo Jonc. I-'or instance , the people of the state , by their present law , say Hint It shall bo unlawful - lawful to sell Intoxicating drinks to a minor , nn insane person , nn idiot or nn habitual drunkard , the evident Inference bolni ? trmt such nro not capably of Judging for thorn- selves. Such are not capable of knowing how to use poison ai medicine , the wisdom of any system of InwJiy which even a partially nsniictnnn would OdTilIowed the use of fire arms ia certainly questionable.

Knocking out u Trust. The state papers have commenced already to knock out the school book tmst in this state , which can bo done by appropriate logis- utlon next winter. And this frrcafc trust , though strongly entrenched , may as well prepare to surrender. The exorbitant charges for school books is a wronff and outrageous assessment upon the people. The state can furnish books at half the cost. The trust must go. OTIIKH LAXnsTHAN OURS. The restoration of order in Ticlno and the apparent submission of tbo insurgents to the Ifcdcral authorities must not bo regarded as denoting any weakness on the part of the leaders of the recent revolutionary wove- movement. For they possess iu the fullest degree the sympathy of the contra ! govern ment nt Berne , nnd the majority of the na- tlonal legislature. Both of these bodies are composed of members of the radical party , and have long viewed with displeasure the high-handed manner in which the conserva tive and ultramontane clement , compoftd al most entirely of wealthy landed proprietors and priests , have ruled Ticlno , retaining their hold on all c.mtonnl ofllcos by electoral frauds. The revolution appears to have been nothing more than a comocly , organ ized jointly by the radicals of Ticlno and by these at Berne , for the purpose of af fording to the federal authorities an excuse for lutcivcntion in the affairs of the Canton. That such was the case is clearly shown by the fact that the national executive has di- ivctcd that the demand for a revision of the Tk'lao cjatonal constitution , wnich has been put forward by the radicals , nnd which is destined to terminate the cnnscrvatlvo tcnuro of oftlec , Is to be submitted to n popular vote , under tlio supervision of the federal author ities. Tbo imprisonment by the revolutionists nt the beginning of the insurrection of the Federal Commissioner Corel , who hau always been their best friend and supporter , and nn almost open antagonist of the conservative oftli-eholder.s , must , under the circumstances , bo regarded In tlio light of n clover piece oi side play , dojtined to ponceal the true nature of this tea-cup rcvplution. * * Ticino ii the southerraost canton of Switzerland and is largely Italian and Roman Catholic , with a strong clement of ox treino radicals of the school of Qarabaldi and Mnz- zlul and a contingent of Swiss Protestants from the other cantons. Ticiuo has a radical majority , but back in 18T1 ! this majority di vided nguiust itself find the conservatives came into power aiul have held the govern ment of the canton evjer sluco. The conservative vative party Is led by the priesthood , which is of the most reactionary typo and extreme in its opposition to. the republican ideas of the federal government. This minority only holds the government by arbitrary means ; controlling the eleullou machinery nud count ing its own men info olllco' regardless of the popular will. As a consotnicnco th9 feeling between the two parties has long boon ex ceedingly bitter and riots and outbreaks at the elections have boon common for several years. * * heinve consider that Bulgaria has been for some years , and is now , the storm center of Europe , ills strange that thcro should bo so little information about- current in Eng land and in this country. The British , vice consul at Solla has undertaken to make good the deficiency of knowledge by a report which has been published by the foreign ofllco. The area of Bulgaria , including eastern Roumc lia , but not ou-ludlng tno Kirjal district uuc the villages in thoHhodono chain which wcro ceded to Turkey in 1SSO , is39,30'J square miles , or somewhat less than that of the state of Pennsylvania. Of this area about a quarter Is cultivated , and four-fifths of the tilled land is allotted to irain , The poopula- tion is 3,154,375 , of which 2,320,224 , or about 75 per cent , nro Bulgarians ; 007,372 , or 20 per cent are Mohammedans ; 5S,33i , or about - per cent are Greeks , aud the remaining 3 per cent nro Servians , Roumanians , Gypsies Russians , etc. The largest town in Phllip- popolis , with it.1,000inhabitants , ; next comcf Solla , with ! ) " ,000 ; then follow , lu order of size , Rustchul : , Vnrna , Sliumla and Sllvno , with between 80,000 , aud 0,000 , each. The Bulgarian budget for 1800 gives uu estimated revenue of 814,500,000 and an expenditure of 810,215,000. , But although every budget since the country has possessed a separate adminis tration has shown at the beginning of a jenr n deficit , it has always in the end exhibited n balance or a surplus , owing to the habit , attributable tributablo to Turkish traditions , of under stating Income. Of the four small states o southeastern Europe Houmania , Bulgaria Greece ana Sorvla Bulgaria is the least heavily taxed nnd has thu smallest debt. # * # The disclosures concerning the secret his tory of DoulnngLsm ia France , recently made in Parisian newspapers , and still making for that matter , are seen to bo beneficial to the republic simply because they are , terribly damaging to the pi-etonslons of the French royal ism. Boulanglsm H so dead at this late day that no ono cares to breathe the foul air of the sepulchre , much less to disinter the corpse for the purpqto.of holding an autopsy , simply as a matter of form.

Blowltz , the Paris correspondent of tbo.London Times , aptly characterizes this 'wnnan when ho writes- "Sho appejrs in ntf t\vi \ > rso light than that o an cxtravnganto who swished to pose as i nineteenth centuryjoan of Arc , brandishing in ono hand a swoidjforgod at the mint , ant flourishing with thbfothcr n banner made ol bank notes.

" * * TQo British taxpayer is to swallow his usual doie this year as the result of the annual naval mananivrts. In Germany when an addition to the military budget Is wanted , a war scare about Franco or Russia serves the purpose very well , and after the appro priation la voted the ttark clouds that hnvo been summoned up are allowed to roll away. In. England n similar part is played by the naval evolutions. Ono year a British squad ron simulating an enemy succeeded in ravaging sections of the coast of the British Isles , nnd moro coast defenses nro called for. Another year the transat lantic steamers and other vessels of the merchant marine are hypotheticolly capt ured by this same redoubtable enemy. Dur ing the present summer the British squadron of defense hunted the seas for its wily foe , but could not find him , whereupon a despond ent service journal declares that "the lessons of the naval fiasco of 1890 mean more ships , moro guns , moro men , " with reinforcements of all tlio squadrons on foreign stations , and a third reserve fleet , whereas "at present thcro are only sufllctent modern ships for two. " Hut John IJull must reflect that the more ships and men ho provides the larger will bo the contingent assigned in the sum mcr maneuvers to that imaginary enemy whoso exploits continually put him to fresh outlays. w If 4 The new military law of Franco has consid erably increased licr fighting material. Ac cording to the figures of the war minister re cently published , the French army on n war footing numbers at present 4,500,000 , trained soldiers. The German unity is now numer ically inferior to that of France : aud the French say that , although the German popu- latlou is considerably greater than that of France , the male population of the two coun tries is about the same. In other words , the emigration from Germany has left an excess of female population at homo , and has drained off an innncnso number of flghtinamea , This state of affairs is probably tlio real cauao of the pacific protestations of the young cm peror and of the cessntiou or war cries la the German press. And Crispi , too , is beginning to bo moro civil than ho used to bo. Tlio fact is , the armies of Russiaand France nro amply able to make the triple alliance behave - have itself. GOUIjD'S GRAB.

Fourteen members of the city council sat as a board of cqmliiatlon for an hour and a half yesterday morning In the city clerk's ofllce. Nearly all the time was spent in inconsequential quential talk. The mast Important action was the adoption of a motion made by Ir. Osthoff to the effect that in the future property owners would ho compelled to pay the full cost of sewers in front of their property. In the pnst property owners have always paid not to exceed SI nor lineal foot on the cost of bowers , notwlth standing that tno cost may have exceeded that price. The only councilman to vote against the motion was Mr. Lowry , who did so on the ground thnt it would do great injustice to some poor people who could not afford to paj for a bower. A protest signed by Charles Elgutterand Hans Bock , objected to a special tax for grad ing South Thirteenth street between Vinton nnd the city limits , for reason thnt the peti tioners' lots hud already been taxed for grad ing dotio herotoforo.

An officer stated today that cot half had yet been told about the sensational case iu which two young lady stenographers from Omaha , giving the names of Lulu Clark nnd Delia Forrest , were .found at the mercy of four gamblers last wock in a room on Tenth street. The ofllcer then went on to say that after the gamblers plied the girls with wino they stripped them of their clothing. 'J.'ho piercing screams of the young ladles , which the villlans could not mnlllc. attracted the at tention of a young man In the building , and pcrrlag over the transom ho saw the state of affairs.

The case of A. Whalen vs E. J. and T. F. 13i-cnnati , which has been the rounds of the courts in Douglas county , was toda3 * appealed to the supreme court. Whalen makes a gen eral complaint of having been financially "done up" by the Hrciitians. Ho had entered into a partnership with the two brothers In 188(1 ( under the firm naino of T. IT. Brenntm & Co. , ho furnishing the cash and they the ex perience. According to the voluminous rec ords of the case it appears that the Brennans attempted to carry out the old ndago concern ing the exchange of money for experience , and as a result AVhalen raised u howl. Ho had put several thousand dollars in the Bank of Commerce for a fund and claimed that on a number of occasions the Urcmmm drew out amounts aggregating upwards of $10,000 and appropriated the same to their own uso. At ouu time It is ujlcgrd that B. J. Bronnan drew out $ 'UM and loaned it to AV. .T. Mount , tuning n note paj'amo only to minscir , anil then concealed the fact that ho hnd taken such note. On Juno 21 , 1887 , it is alleged that the Brcmmns took out $ ' .1,1:14.1)7 : ) from the funds deposited byVlia - lea and invested it in Omaha real estate and lands in Ouster oountv. It Is also alleged that the defendants used part of the material of the Jlrm in performing con tracts of their own , and in which AVhalen had no part. Mr. Whnlcn asks tlmt the pait- ncrihlp bo dissolved and that the Brennans bo required tomnko a full accounting of all the ntfalrs and accounts of the Jlrm. The do- fcndanU denied every statement of the plaintiff - tiff charglnir them with fraud. In the district court of Douglas county judgment against the Brtiiiuans was secured for * UC23.71.
