the Now York district
attorney who was elected to protect the
boodlcru and did his work well , was not
ronominatcd by any party. Even Now
i'ork politicians must draw the line
loinuwhoro.
ASA matter of historical and political
Interest , it should bo stated that the
prohibitionists have a state ticket in
the Hold in Kansas this fall. The main
object of this tlckot is to down the
republican parly.
THK public Is under deep obligations
lo liubo Hurrows' father , who refused to
have his son's body exhibited in a dime

been an net of needless cruelty.

FOUD of the Irish World
intikos the passage of the MoKinloy bill
the occasion for a fervid appeal to the

and predicts that the Irish vole will

Bltip. Doubtless a presidential cam
paign waged upon tills Issue would make
n big hole in the ranks of Irish demo
crats in the cast.
LIGHT is gradually filtering into the
legal minds of prohibition courts. Judge
Conrad ot DOS iMolnes has issued mi
order compelling the Rouk Island road
to transport liquor in Iowa when shipped
for "medicinal or mechanical purposes. "
The railroad uomnany is expected to HOO
that the shipments reach the afllictod
till along the line In good shape. The
Iowa decision is supplemented in North
Dakota with u modified injunction per
mitting the sale of Intoxicants in original
packages , and tlio towns nltectod pro
pose to pass license and regulation linva.
IT AH'KAllS by the columns of our
double-barreled contemporary that the
election is over in the Third district
nnd that Mr. Thompson , the straight
democratic nominee , is elected by u
comfortable plurality. Complete returns
of the election are presented mid Mr.
Koin , as well us Mr. Dorsoy , are beaten
beyond recognition. This will bo very
comforting to Mr. Kent's friends , who
have boon urged to patronlzo the two-
headed newspaper because olits love for
the farmer and ontliuslnstio devotion to
tlio alliance. They will now bo able to
see with the naked eye the hollow fraud
wliloh the IVorld'Jferahl has sought to
play upon them. Like the democratic
party it pats the allliuico on the back
for what It hopes to ( jot out of it. It
has now given the miup 'away three
vook * before election. This Is ample
notlcu and Third district republicans
> * 'lll probably decline to bo fooled.
TIIKM
The truth cannot bo too often or earn-
neatly pressed upon the attention of the
republican fanners who uro giving coun-
tuimnco nnd support to tlio independent
movement In Nebraska , ttmt they are
wasting their strength. If tlmt move
ment were what tit the outset It was
claimed to bo , n spontaneous uprising of
the people for the purpose of instituting
genuine and needed reforms , It would
merit the friendly consideration of all
citizens who believe reform in several
llrectlons is urgently required. But the
fact U the so-called independent move
ment was not spontaneous , nor was it free
'romlho ' Interference of politicians , On
the contrary , It was most carefully and
deliberately planned by a few men ,
every ono of whom has always been
more or less Identified with politics ,
md all of whom hope to profit by poll-
lies. The proof of this Is found in the
'act ' that ovorywhcro the scheming
and trickery so well known to the
machine politicians were brought into
play , and with rare exceptions the men
chosen itacandldntcs were the men whom
the self-constituted bosses desired. The
voters who identified thumholvoa with
ihis alleged pooplo's movement were not
jlvcn a full and fair chance to soled can-
lldatcs , the caucussos and conventions
Doing packed in the Interest of these
whom the munugors of the movement
iad slated as ino.st available for their
purposes. Thcfo lias boon no more Hay-
: -ant piece of political jugglery in the
history of Nebraska than tlio apportion-
nenlof delegates tnado by the organiz
ers of the independent movement , and
their whole course has boon in keeping
with this. Can men capable of such
things IK ) trusted with the work of re
form ?
There is not a possible chance of the
success of the independent people's
party. No intelligent man connected
with the movement now entertains a
hope that it can win. For weeks it
has been steadily losing ground. The
party will elect some members of the
legislature and may bo able to hold the
balance of power in tlio general assem
bly , bufc moro than this It can not pos
sibly secure. It will not elect a single
state olllcer , but it may bo the means of
transferring the administration of state
ufTtilrs to the democratic party. Would
this help the cause of reform ? Undoubt
edly there are men In the independent
movement who would welcome such a
result , but they are men who hope to
reach political preferment on the ruins
of the republican party and not true
friends of reform and good government.
They would Blop all progress and see
the spirit of reaction triumphant if
thereby they could gratify tholr politi
cal ambition. Such men easily become
the tools of the enemies of the people.
Republican farmers who have boon se
duced into the independent move
ment should think seriously of
what may bo the consequences
of wasting their strength by giving their
votes to a party that has no chance of
success and thereby endangering the
success of the only party from which
they can expect such reasonable and
practicable reforms as they desire.
FRUITS or Tim r.utIFF.
Major MuKinloy's tariff law has sent
a thrill to the very core of Europe's in
dustrial life. It furnishes a topic for for
eign manufacturers and mechanics , fills
their newspapers with criticism and
speculation , nnd burdens the cable with
rumors of important developments.
There is something in this that touches
the chord of patriotic pride. It is mute
testimony to the greatness of the United
States and reveals at a glance the ex
tent and Importance- the market which
our sixty odd millions of people have fur
nished for the products of European
workshops. These are interesting times
in the history of both hemispheres and
intelligent citizens should follow them
carefully as they are reflected , day by
day , in the newspapers.
Europe's attitude toward the present
taritT law has from the first been ono of
protest. Of all the nations that ex
pressed displeasure Austria was most
aggressive. When the bill passed news
cnmo from Vienna that Count
Kalnoky would undertake to form
a league for the purpose of retaliating ,
"Within a few days the milk in the Aus
trian coconnut has leaked out. It is re
ported that the great pearl butto'n in
dustry , moro than half of whoso product
formerly cnmo to the United States , will
bo prostrated , that thousands of men
and women will bo thrown out of em
ployment , nnd the production reduced
moro than two-thirds. It is stated in a
later dispatch that the business is likely
to bo largely transferred lo this side of
the Atlantic , with its Austrian capital
imd labor.
Similar items of IIOWH coino from
Franco , Germany and England , and
Italy remarks that she docs not care to
exhibit her wares ut our world's fair ,
us she no longer has a market
hero. The wall from merry old
England la particularly doleful.
It began with the London 'l\incs ,
which described the MoKinloy bill as
"an attack on .tho industries of Great
Britain ; " it was followed up by the rep
resentatives to the stool and iron con
ference at Now York'one of whom said ,
"Tho tin plato business was about all
tno metal industry wo had loft and I fear
you will got that ; " it is echoed through
the mills of Manchester and the cutlery
shops of Shollleld , and everywhere it is
to the effect that America will manu
facture what she has hitherto imported
from abroad. Meanwhile wo hoar ru
mors of the revival of old industries and
the establishment of new on this slclo of
the sea.
Now , if these early indications of the
fruits of the tariff are berne
out later by the facts what
will It moan to the people of this
country to the merchants , manufac
turers , worklngmon and , lastly , to the
farmers of the west ?
It will mean unquestionably a now nnd
powerful Impulse to the common pros
perity. It will moan now factories imd
workshops for labor to build , new capital
for now enterprises , reinforcements from
Kurono for the ranks of well-paid Ameri
can labor , increased demand for the
necessities of life , and , finally , a larger
consumption and wider homo market foi
the products of the western farms. It is
true that prices of many articles will rjo
up , but n country in always prosperous
on n rifling market and never on n. recoil-
ng market.
The people of the west very
generally criticised the McKlnloy bill ,
lot because they are opposed to protcc-
.ion,1 . but because they wanted free
lumber , coal and other raw material ? .
Hut in its first effect they plainly see its
beneficent operations. However numer
ous the American laborer may become ,
, ho fanner of the west will cheerfully
take the contract to keep him In beef ,
corn and wheat nt prices that will make
life worth living for both.
AUK TllKV GOOD C17MKXS1
Tlio bettor elements in Now York luivo
made an effort thb ) your to got. the arm
of the professional politician oil the nock
of the city administration.
For months the newspapers liavo boon
publishing portraits and biographies of
non fitted by Integrity , ability and suc
cess in the legitimate walks of life for
the great ofllco of mayor. For weeks
committees have boon out trying to find
ono of these representative men who
would take the nomination. The result
of all this agitation is that the candl-
laics named at last are Hugh Grant of
Tammany hall and Francis .M. Scott of
Lho county democracy , two thorough
bred politicians , who represent only and
solely the old school of political adven
turers who llvo on olllco and patronage.
Not a single man of commanding ability
and worth could bo found to load the de
mand for relief from the domlnatjon of
the rings , bosses and irresponsible bum
mers.
And now the question arises whether
the so-called "bolter element" and
"good citizens" of Now York , who are
too busy to hold ofllce or too nice to soil
their hands with politics , are after all
the good men they pass for ? Is not a
summons to olllco under miuh circum
stances as much a call to patriotic cor-
vlco as was the demand for men in ' 01 ?
Are not the assaults upon our Institu
tions from within as much to bo mot by
citizens who recognize their obligations
as assaults from enemies without ? What
remedy Is left for the evils of civic gov
ernment when men of character and
ability Hellishly refuse to leave their
homes or business to confront public
plunderers and wrest the great ofliccs
of a city like Now York from mercena
ries who have no interest save to use
them for what there is in them ?
When the union ran short of volun
teers it ordered drafts. It may yet bo
necessary to compel citizens to answer
the call of the public when reputable of
ficers cannot otherwise bo had in times
of emergency ; In the meantime there is
no law to prevent the "best citizens" of
New York from being ashamed of them
selves.
IDIiB HV-M/.2V/ OMAHA.
The report of the condition of the na
tional banks of Omaha on October 2
presents significont features. In round
numbers the assets and liabilities of the
nine national banks amount to twonty-
tlirco and a half million dollars. The
total capital stock is four million and
the aggregate surplus and undivided
profits reach the snug Bum of seven hun
dred and soventy-nitio thousand , six hun
dred and thirty-nine dollars. Like all
leading banks of the country these
of Omaha are steadily reducing their
national bank note circulation , the
amount now outstanding being three
hundred and eighty-two thousand five
hundred dollars , or an average of forty-
two thousand five hundred each.
A striking feature of the report is the
vast amount of money hoarded in these
institutions. Tlio deposits of the nlno
bunks amount to eighteen million three
hundred and eighty-two thousand six
hundred and twenty-three dollars. In ,
ono year the deposits increased
three million dollars , a sum oxceediug
all previous annual records. If wo add
to this the deposits of the state and sav
ings banks of the city , the aggregate ac
cumulations of the people will exceed
twenty-ono million dollars. The reasons
for this unusual hoarding of money is
not far to seek. A largo proportion is
withhold from investment pending the
settlement of the prohibition question.
From the very moment tliat question
was sprung on the state , the people of
this city , familiar with prohibition's
bliglUlng effects in other states , began
to shape their affairs for a
possible emergency. Merchants grow
cautious in enlarging their stocks , build
ing investments became normal , nnd the
lutlux of outside capital contracted. It is
n matter susceptible of proof that innnv
pet-sons mortgaged their property to the
full limit and placed the money in the
banks. If the amendment is defeated
the mortgages will ho cancelled , If not ,
the mortgagee is welcome to the
security.
What is true of Omaha applies with
equal force to every city in the state in
proportion to population. The defeat ol
the amendment will unlock the loaded
treasuries , infuse now lifo nnd activity
into the channels of trade and Industry ,
stimulate the Investment of local and
outside capital , substitute faith for
doubt , confidence for depression , and
place Nebraska securely on the highway
of progress and prosperity.
mscussixa VOST.II. TnrKGiiAi > ur.
There is a quite general discussion in
the press of the plan for a postal tele
graph system presented by Postmaster
General M'anamnkor in his letter to the
chairman of the postofllco committee ol
the house of reprosontutlvos and the ar
guments of the postmaster general in
favor of tlio plan are widely approved.
Journals that still cling to the old objec
tions , such as the danger of the system
being prostituted to political purposes
by whichever party might bo in control
of the government , and the possibility
that it would not bo conducted on busi
ness principles , find themselves com
pelled to admit the evils of the present
system and the urgent necessity for
some change that will glvo the people
cheaper and better telegraph sorvlcn.
It is to bo berne in mind that the pro
posed plan for n limited postal telegraph
does not contemplate the ownership ol
lln.es by the government. It simply
looks to an arrangement with tele
graph companies by which the people
ple could be moro promptly and ofll-
clontly served than now at considerably
less cost. The government would fix
the charges and provide for the delivery
of messages , JtKU would have nothing
whatever to Onlth the telegraph em
ployes. The jMftjiuliou on the score of
politics conceq ntlv has no weight.
But if the government had complete
control , employing all operators and
others necessary to the service , would
the public IntoVests , so far as they are
nffected by poliUegbo loss ssfo thtui they
are with the control of the telegraph In
the hands ot _ the Goulds and Vnndor-
bllts ? It is sheer nonsense to claim that
it would. As to conducting the service
or business principles , there Is no reason
why the government could not carry on
the postal telegraph system as efficiently
as it does the mall service , and there is
every reason to believe that it would bo
conducted on very much hotter business
principles than the telegraph service IH
at present. The fact is , nil objec
tions of this kind are not made
in good faith. They are put forward as
disguises to an opposition which has a
wholly different motive.
Undoubtedly Intelligent public sentiment
mont Is very largely In favor of a postal
telegraph system , and the moro the sub
ject is discussed the stronger and moro
extended this sentiment will become. It
is demanded in the Interest both of the
government and the people , nnd there is
no apparent reason why it should not bo
provided at the earliest time practicable.
OKXKUAL W. W. UKMCMAI- , who was
found dead in his olllco at Washington
yesterday morning , occupied a prom
inent and favored place in public atten
tion twenty years ago. Ho was an inti
mate and trusted friend of General
Grant , who made him secretary of war.
Bel knn ] > had nuido a creditable record
as u soldier , and lie was a man of very
attractive personal qualities , as well ns
of moro than average ability. These com
mended him to the favor and con fldcnco
of General Grant , which ho continued
to enjoy long after public charges were
made that ho had abused his official
trust. Ho retired from tlio war depart
ment to avoid impeachment. The char
ity which enjoins that nothing but good
bo spoken of the dead may well bo in
voked in behalf of Bolknapwlio undoubt
edly was largely tlio victim of circum
stances. It is remembered that his fam
ily played a most extravagant role in
the social lifo of Washington , nnd to
this was chiolly duo the unfortunate
mistake which blotted out an honorable
reputation and sent him into exile from
society. General Bolknap had excel
lent qualities of head" and heart , and
ho retained many friends who will sin
cerely regret his sudden death.
CIIAHIIS : A. PiMsnuiiv , the milling
king of Minneapolis , talks freely on the
subject of grain grades. lie assorts that
the millers are nil right and the farmers
all wrong , and that the movement for re
form in the grading of grain is a scheme
worked by political tricksters. It is
barely possible that Mr. Pillsbury's
views nro slightly influenced by his in
terests. Between the grain raisers and
the mills there is a widoroad , in travers
ing1 which grain undergoes a marked
change of grade. It is a matter
of notoriety that millions of
bushels of Ncbratjka.'corn sold as number
tjirco is transformed into number two on
reaching Chicago , and number two in
Nebraska is metamorphosed into number
ono in Now York. By some bert of jug
glery or deception the farmers are de
prived of the difference in prices and the
elevators or speculators enriched. This
is the practice the wheat raisers of Min
nesota complain of , as well as the corn
raisers of adjoining states , and a national
standard of grades must bo had to
remedy the evil.
"Si'OKANK FA.rLS and its exposition , "
is the title of a superb souvenir received
at this ollico. It is an illustrative and
descriptive mirror of the reconstructed
metropolis of eastern Washington and
tributary territory. Tlio partial de
struction of the city by fire a little over
a year ago served to bring out in sub
stantial form the energy and enterprise
of the people , and the magnificent blocks
of stone , brick and iron roared on the
ruins go to prove that the besom of
flame was a material blessing to Spo
kane. The souvenir is a splondidspcci-
men of the typographical and pictorial
arts , while the compilation and arrange
ment of historical , biographical and de
scriptive matter shows a master hand.
The work rellocts the highest credit on
the progressive people of Spokane.

Ho had meanwhile shrewdly driven his team

learned that the woman had no claim \yhat-

Tbo fellow who got the money from Bowman
masqueraded under the name of J. L. Lam-

is one of mistaken Identity. The fact that

was prevailed upon by the ofllcers to comply
with the request , nud although lie attempted
