Tin : last act in a tragedy unsurpassed
in the annals of crime closed with the
execution of Thomas G. W oolfolk at

for which Woolfolk sulfotx'd the o.xlrotno
jwaalty has few parallels in fiendish
brutality and ferocity. Eight members
of his family father , brothers , slstc > rs
and niece and an aged lady visitor ,
were mercilessly butchered in their
homo on the night of August 0,1SS7.
The story bf the tragedy shocked the
community at the time , but the stout
denials of the murderer coupled with
the vigilance of the authorities wived
him summary execution. Proof of the
crime was overwhelming , and the motIve -
Ivo made plain , yet Woolfolk maintained
n root defiance- from the moment the last
victim of his bloody nx expired until hit
fall on the gallows nnd protested his in.
noconco to the last. The domlso of this
atrocious assassin extinguishes ono ol

AX tXroCATIOtf TO ZUTWOT/SJ/ .
The crisis that confronts the people of
Nebraska makoa an-appeal to their
patriotism. That term has a much
broader meaning thnn is usually as
signed to it. "tt'obstor defines it as
"lovo of country ; the passion which oims
toflorvo olio's country. " The citizen
scrvcn his country best who best serves
his state In promoting its material pros
perity , and working for iU advancement
along all the lines of progress. The
highest duty of patriotism is
performed when the citizen em
ploys his enorgioH and In-
flucnco in behalf of the o things which
build tip conimunllloB , whloli increase
Ilia opportunities for enterprise , which
encourage growth , which bring power
ami wealth , tind which are productive ol
the greatest good to the greatest num
ber. In a union of sovereign common
wealths this patriotism is as necessary
to the nUito as to the nation. The pa-
trlollxm of the soldier who stakes Ills
lifo in defense of his country Is not
mnro admirable or valuable than
the patriotism of the cltiy.cn
who at the ballot box casts
a vote to defeat an assault upon the wel
fare ami prosperity of his stato.
Such an assault is tlm effort to plant
prohibition in the organic law of Ne
braska. The adoption of that policy
would result In greater Injury to the
material interests of the state than any
calamity in its history. Its depressing
and blighting olTccUs would reach every
department of activity in which our
people are engaged. There Isnot a bus-
ness of any kind Hint could escape the
1 consequences of this policy , un-
osti it bo that of the usurer. With the
cpletlon of population and the decline
four cities and towns , the depreciation
f farm propoMy would bo Inevitable.
Nebraska would not only cease to grow ,
ml , as with Kansas and Iowa for several-
cars pnst , more people would leave the
tnte than would comuinto it. And pro-
ibitioa being1 incorporated in tlio con-
titutiun , it is impossible to say how long
.his condition of alTairn would continue
icforo the peojilo would bo sufficiently
ducated by advoistty to remove the
ause. The disaster that comes from
drought and storm and the visitations of
inture are for n season only. The looses
f ono year may bo moro than offset by
ho gains of the next. Uul , the blight of
loiislitutioiml prohibition might con-
inno for many years with steadily in-
reusing damage.
Could patriotism have any higher aim
.lian . to defeat a policy in which such
! onsoquoneo3 are involved ? Can there
jo any more urgent duty upon
ho loyal citizen than to protect his
Into from such calamity ? The results
if prohibition in diminishing prosperity
: md checking progress have'been dem-
jiiHtrated. livery state that has over
idopted if "boars incontrovertible tostl-
nony to its injurious ofteots. And
everywhere it has failed of its purpose.
On the other hand , if prohibition is do-
'onled in Nebraska , nothing is more
: ortnin than that the stale will real-
y.o at once a now impulse of progress
: ind move forward moro vigorously
mil rapidly than over before. Not only
, vill tlio effect bo to stimulate every
justness and enterprise , but to invite
others. Nebraska needs more people to
nko xip her lands , moro industries to
give employment to her labor , moro
capital to increase the gencrnl prospor-
ty , enlarged homo markets for the
product of her farms. These conditions
: ire possible only in the event that pro
hibition is defeated.
Within forty-eight hours the people
of Nebraska will have made their choice
between progress and retrogression.
Never before lias the patriotioni of the
citizens of thib state boon put to a more
inportnnl or serious test , and wo have
'aith ' that now , as in the past , it will bo
found loyal to the interests and welfare
of Nebraska.
IT AIWy/KJS TO NKUUASKA.
n a very vigorous speech delivered at
Philadelphia , Saturday evening. Secre
tary Bhiino urged the republicans of
Pennsylvania to heal their differences
: md stand together for the success of the
parly. Speaking of the possibility of a
democratic victory as the result of divis
ions among the republicans ho said !
Wiht I deplore Is a popular vote in Penn
sylvania ttiat shall encourage New Jersey in
her democracy , lead the dissenting branches
of the ii.irty in Now York to close up nnd
mnlto their strength felt , that shall cripple
Ohio In her effort to throw oft democratic
power Jn the executive and gerrymandering
In the districts , throw back Delaware In her
republican progress , nmko Maryland u hope
less Instead of a hopeful state 'and that shall
take from us the power to establish thu re
publican standard la West Virginia.
WhntMr. Blainosaid to the Phila
delphia audience he would doubtless
have said with still greater emphasis in
Nebraska.
Local considerations are not alone to
bo thought of in such a contest as the
present , Republicans should not forgot
the national consequences of democratic
victory in Nebmskn. It would bo folly
as depressing as the result which Mr.
Blnluo says ho would deplore in Penn
sylvania. It would dishearten the party
us to the conditions in the west. It
would bo construed as a startling demo-
cratlo gain.
For those reasons no republican should
vote directly or indirectly against his
party tomorrow. Ho should stand by it
for whnt it means to the party at largo.

The history of the prohibition crusade
in nil states is an unbroken record of
treachery to the republican party. Con
ceived In n spirit of fanaticism and fos
tered by inorconnries , it has tnnsrpior-
ulod with friendship on Its tongue and
stilettos In Its hands. And In every in
stance it has driven the knife to the hilt
Into the back of the republicans who
liavo given the crusaders the slightest
encouragement.
From Maine to Oregon and from Da
kota to Texas prohibition is the millstone -
stone on the neck of republicanism. It
has driven from the ranks of the party
thousands of conservative , liberty loving
citizens , who , having Hod from oppression - -
sion , allied themselves with the party
of freedom nnd progress.
How hns the party been compensated
for the loss ?
Look at lown. with its great republi
can majorities wiped out of existence.
Look tit Kansas , the banner republi
can sluto of the union , where the party
Is rent in twain , desertions multiplying
daily and the success of tlio party im
periled. For wlintV Simply to cater tea
a noisy faction , who seek to compel
others to think and not as they do.
Even in tlio Dakolas , where the pro
hibitionists secured the Inws they
sought , they have rebelled against the
republicans , and in loss than six months
after constitutional prohibition wont
into otrect openly allied themselves with
soreheads , not to enforce the law lul to
wreck the republican party. *
The slogan of St. John , ro-cchood by
the late General Fisk , is , "Wo must
.wreck the republican party and build
prohibition on its ruins" . This is the
guiding principle of the crusade , and its
truth is confirmed by the records of
Iowa , Kansas and the Dnkotns , and by
tlio infamous betrayal of the national
republican ticket in 1881.
Tlio duty of the republicans of Ne
braska in the present crisis is clear.
The prosperity of tlio state nnd the
preservation of the party demand that
every loyal republican work and vote
against the amendment. They must
battle against the assassins of the party
and by slnnding manfully for liberty and
law and order win buck the allegiance
of the bone and sinew of American citi
zenship _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
STAfiD 11Y THE COtOttS.
Every republican m Nebraska should
stand by his party ticket. In that cottrso
alone lies his safety. An enemy that for
twonty-llvo years has sought vainly to
win in a fair fight seeks now to win by
fostering discord and distrust in ranks
where harmony Is fatal to their designs.
Democrats are endeavoring to sot the
republicans in the state against the re
publicans in Omaha and Douglas county.
They arc circulating the report that
there is to bo a wholesale desertion by
Omaha republicans from Richards to
Boyd. In this dishonest work they are
assisted by the prohibitionists , who hope
to inflame high license republicans to
such a pitch of anger that they will vote
and work for the amendment. By get-
tiny up this sort of a row , dcmo-
ocrats hope to gain votes for Boyd in the
city and prohibitionists votes for the
amendment in the country.
Those , reports are false. Douglas
county republicans have shown their
loyalty to Mr. Richards on every oppor
tunity during the campaign. They will
do so again on election day. They are
for the republican ticket from top to bet
tom. Elsewhere THIS BHK presents an
interview with Mr. Richards , in which
ho gives his friends throughout the
state hearty assurances of the loyalty of
Omaha republicans. Ho expects no
treachery hero and denounces the re
ports as democratic campaign slanders.
Ho relies ? upon the Omaha republi
cans to contribute their full share
to his election.
This statement from tlio republican
standard bearer should sot all rumors of
discord at rest. It should satisfy tlio
party throughout the state , and it should
make Omaha republicans work with re
newed zeal for the success of the ticket.
If it has this oiteot , the election of Mr.
Richards is assured.
Lot the democrats and proliibltionlsts
fall in their olTort to promote discord ,
and lot the republican party continue to
conduct the affairs of a state in which it
has u large and honest majority.
At , Ari'KAT. TO SOUTH O.U.t/f.1.
The citizens and property owners of
South Omaha have it vital concern in
tlio outcome of the present prohibitory
campaign. The unfortunate condition
of the city's finances is tlio most potent
reason why nothing should bo done by
that city which will in the slightest de
gree depreciate her property values or
check her material growth. Every
source of revenue must bo husb.uidod
with the greatest care. Under her pres
ent population , the revenue from saloons
amounts to thirty thousand dollars ,
and If her growth * Is not re
tarded ' by prohibition , she will
soon reach a population often
ton thousand souls , which will increase
her license revenue to at least fifty
thousand dollars annually. The loss of
this munificent bum would nil but ruin
her bchools. In other words , the defeat
of the license system would throw the
burden of maintaining the schools
directly on the taxpayers , practically
doubling tlio present rate of taxation.
The evils of oppressive taxation would
bo intensified by outlawry and freq
whisky. With the prohibition law in
South Omaha , the town would bo over
run with saloons and the condition of
affairs would bo far worse than U is
in Council BlutTu today.
Public sentiment In South Omaba Is
largely opposed to sumptuary laws , and
to withdraw the operation of the Slo-
cumb law from South Omaha would bo
nothing short of n crime. With an ad
ditional levy to maintain her t > chools ,
nnd with thu inevitable depreciation ol
property following in the wako of a pro
hibitory law , South Omaha would Invite
a condition of affairs the outcome ot
which would bo a disgraceful repudia
tion of her municipal debt and a gradual
* , -
wasting away of her population , which
would lead to ultimate ruin , Are the
citizens of that town nwnko to the dan
gers which besot her ns n city , nnd tire
they doing whnt they can to protect
their properly nnd their homes ?

ently just now In need of all the first-
class ability available.
Tun way to the attainment of the re
forms demanded by the farmers of Ne
braska is through the republican party.
Third party movements have never ac
complished what they aimed nt. In
his country there is room only for two
great parties. Every farmer of repub
lican antecedents who supports the In
dependent movement will simply vote to
: iid the democracy to attain to power ,
nnd to put further away the realization
of his desires in case that party should
bo successful.
Tin : progress of the west Is duo to the
'ostorlngcaro and wise legislation of the
republican party in bohnlf of western in
torosts. Republicanism in this section
Is an evidence nt once of the gratitude
md the patriotism of its people. The
reasons for supporting the republican
party in the past are equally cogent nt
this time. Nobrnskn has never llnterc'd
in her republican allegiance , and there
is no sound reason why she should break
the honorable record now.
THE frantiu appeals of St. John in behalf -
half of Nebraska homes are exceed
ingly touching , but unfortunately all
the homo-builders of Nebraska cannot
emulate the industrious jaw of the
canonized agitator of Kansas. St. John
is a model family provider. Ho has
rammed his dukes deeper into the pro
hibition bar'l than any colonel in the
catalogue. No matter what may befall
the homos of Nebraska , the St. John
family is beyond the range of immediate
want.
KANSAS will have to look to Its lau
rels , recently remarked the Chicago
i'&mie , if Nebraska does not take thorn
by 1000. In view of the fact that the
population of Kansas decreased ninoty-
livc thousand durinp the last two years
and Nebraska gained a greater number
of people than that , it is only necessary
to retain prohibition in Kansas and high
license in Nebraska to insure a larger
population for the latter five years
hence.
THE people of .Nebraska . have patiently
borne malignant assaults on their
character and on the credit of the stale ,
but should imported slanderers attempt
to interfere on election day they must
take the consequences. There is a limit
to patience and forbearance.
DKl'AUi/rKK YAKDFA' suffered no
qualms of conscience for the financial
crimes committed in Canada , but the
scoundrelly work mapped out for him
by the prohibitionists of Omaha made
him feel that ho had fallen into bad
company at last.
ST. JOHN don't want to divide time
with anyone but a United States senator
or a congressman. Six years ago St.

Public sentiment In Sioux City Is against
iroliibltlon. Tlio law has never been cn-
ort'ed there , consequently the growth has
been greater than that of any other Iowa city
luring the tcu years last past.
It is the candid opinion of CJov. Boles ot
owa that prohibition has not lessened the
ivils of intemperance in that stato.
In sotno cities and towns of Kansas at-
ompta nro made to en force prohibition , but
ho attempts are futile nnd very expensive.
The cities and towns of prohibition states

If the field was as free to liquor dealers in
Nebraska as it is la Kansas and lown , the
saloons in Omaha would increase twenty tone

iroportlonately.
Council Bluffs is quoted as a thriving pro-
ilbltion city. According to population there

a Omaha , and most of them pay u monthly

The snloontsts of Sioux City , Council

The prohibitory laws of Iowa confiscated

nrs. The big distillery nt Des Moines cost
ts owner over 51,000,000. In the face of
the conllscatlon the United States su-

There nro hundreds of men in lown today

rights. Ho Is tired of seeing the honest
aliorer nriso and nslt for bettor pay. Ho is
tired of seeing the ropu oilcan party working
for the laboriiiRinou and making laws for
them. Ho would like to go to congress and
introduce n bill lengthening the hours for the
