the Union Pacific with Its branch from
Cheyenne to Douglas , the Hlkhorn ex

minus in the very midst of the most ex
tensive ranges.
Although this country has boon opened
to Omaha for bettor than a year , com
paratively few shippers have taken ad
vantage of the Omaha market.
The Klkhorn and Burlington lines
have boon interested in securing
the long haul to Chicago anil

spark-giving Hint of .intelligence in a
recent article which calls attention to
Omaha's advantages in four particulars :
Shorter haul , loss shrinkage , lower
freight charges and quicker returns.
The malingers of the Ornaha yards and
packing houses need only insist upon
their rights to force the railways to give

Good credit is the host sort of capital
for a state as well as an individual.
Good credit is established by debt pay
ing and not debt making. As the Nor
folk Nrwfi felicitously puts the proposi
tion , "Tho fact that Nebraska is a
mortgage paying instead of a mortgage
giving state will do more to ward bring
ing in now settlers and increasing values
than all the boom literature thut could
possibly bo circulated in the east. "
Nebraska has never repudiated her
indebtedness , either state , municipal or
individual , llor prosperity has boon
built upon the solid rock of honestly
mooting honest obligations. The bor
rowed capital of the east has been util-
ixed in developing her resources. Their
development has improved securities
and enabled borrowers to pay their in
debtedness , foreclosures of mortgages
have never burdened the records of the
courts of the state. The safe policy of
the past will bo continued in the future.
The present season's crops nnd the
good prices which promise to prevail
nITord our farmers- the opportunity to
maintain their past record. Every
farmer in the state should utili/.o a portion
tion of the profits of the year in paring
down his indebtedness. lie needs only
working capital. The farmer is not a
speculator. lie should borrow only
enough to make the resources of his farm
available and continue to operate within
safe limits. The farmer should bo as
conservative as the hanker , and never
borrow without a reasonable prospecteof
meeting his obligations as they fall due.
The farmers , whoa they have opened up
their farms and stocked them , should
emerge from the debtor to the creditor
class and maintain a reserve of cash as
they maintain n reserve of grain and stock
to provide against emergencies. The most
independent man on earth is the skill
ful farmer who owns a good farm well
stocked , well equipped and is free from
debt. Every farmer in Nebraska who
has steadily kept this idea before him
and worked to it , whoso misfortunes are
not traceable to outside speculation or
losses for which the farm is not blamo-
able , has within ten years found him
self .safe from foreclosure and above the
probability of financial distress.
IlKl'UllI.lVANlS IX THK SOUTH.
Statistics derived from the census and
from the election returns showing the
progress of the republican party in cer
tain states of the south the Virginias ,
North Carolina , Tennessee , Kentucky ,
Maryland and Delaware are interesting
and oncouraginc1. They appear to dem
onstrate that the south is not nearly so
solid as is commonly supposed , and they
suggest that there is more than a possi
bility ot the republicans carrying some
of those states In the near future. In
the light of the liguros presented , when
ono considers the deep-seated prejudice
which southern republicans have had to
combat , the growth of the party in the
states immod has boon quite marvelous.
Commenting upon the exhibit the
Baltimore Amenc/tn / remarks that there
is tv great deal of dense misunderstand
ings about the political conditions of
the south among northern and western
republicans , as well as among demo
crats ot those parts. Just as long as
they insist , says the journal , upon
making sectionalism an issue , just that
long will they keep the south solid , and
It says the people of the south arc
patriotically attached to the union.
It is n mistake to say that
as a party the republicans are
making sectionalism an issue , and espe
cially docs suoh a charge do injustice to
western republicans. They entertain no
such fooling as this allegation implies ,
and the inlluence of thu republicans of
the west has for years boon thrown
against any legislation of a sectional
nature or which seoinod to bo prompted
by the spirit of sectionalism. It was
this intluence which caused the abandon
ment of the elections bill In the last con
gress , every leading republican paper of
the west , voicing the wall known senti
ment of the party , having advised
against the adoption of that measure. If
It oo granted that sectionalism is an Usiio ,
made so by the republicans , those of the
wc.st are not responsible for It and do not
sympathise with it. Western republi
cans desire as earnestly as those of any
section the growth of the principles of
the party everywhere and they d not
believe that this can bo accomplished in
the south by mnintainining thu spirit of
sectionalism.
The change which the $ outh Is under
going under the operation of rapidly Im
proving material conditions obviously
furnishes the opportunity for the repub
lican party to push forward In that sec
tion by virtue of Its broader and more
progressive statesmanship and its
sounder industrial nnd financial policies.
Whatever help western republicans can
give toward this result they will most
willingly render.
TJIK WKLSJI TIA' SITUATION.
The Welsh tin manufacturers have
decided to resume operations , and will
do so today If the 30,000 workmen who
have been Idle for a month will return
to work. Their decision to do si ) wilt de
pend upon whether they are permitted to
resume at the wages they received when
locked out. The purpose of the manu
facturers is to prevent , if possible , the
development of tin making In the United
States by reducing the price of their
product , and they propose to otToct this
reduction by lowering the cost of labor.
The workmen are disposed to loyally
adhere to the employers , but they ask
that their wages bo continued at the old
ratus , nnd that the manufacturers shall
surrender a part of their profits. Both
nro anxious that the incipient tin indus
try of i he United States shall bo killed
olt , but neither is willing to make any
sacrifices. The mon declare that if
their wages are not maintained they
will emigrate to this country , and they
appear to bo obstinately deter
mined to accept nothing less than they
ask , but it is highly probable that a
compromise will bo ollqctcd and the
mills resume operations.
It has been expected that the Welsh
manufacturers would decide to make tin
aggressive war upon thp tin industry in
this country , and it would bo foolish to
assume that they will not bo able to im
pede its progress. Tin making is ono of
the most profitable industries , and if
the manufacturers will yield a
little of their profits and the workmen a
small part of their wages , it is doubtless
possible to cheapen foreign tin so as to
undersell the American product in our
own markets. The fact must bo recog
nized that the manufacturers in this
country are at a very great disadvantage
in not having the skilled labor , and they
cannot bring this from abroad. The
steel plato can bo made here , but
the process of tinning is difficult
and requires mon thoroughly skilled
in the work. It is not altogether an
idle boast , therefore , of the Welsh tin
ners thut they are necessary to the
development of the tin industry in the
United States.
The result of to-day's negotiations be
tween the Welsh masters and workmen
will bo awaited with a great deal of
interest in this country , but in any event
it.is . not probable that the tin industry
hero will be drivou to the wall. Ameri
can enterprise is not so easily van
quished. An aggressive warfare by the
Welsh manufacturers -may retard the
'development of the industry in the
United States , but it will not kill it.
WAHLIKK INDICATIONS.
Another war cloud appears to bo gath
ering over Kuropo. It lias been nearly
two years since there was serious reason
for apprehending a disturbance of the
peace of Europe , and the world had
settled down to the conviction that such
a possibility twas extremely remote.
Few have believed that war would
not" como eventually. The idea
that it might be permanently averted
has never obtained with those
who have considered intelligently
the relations of the great powers.
But the inclination to peace of the
emperor of Germany , who is practically
the arbiter in European affairs , seemed
to promise that it might bo many years
before the blow would bo struck that
would brine1 nearly the whole of Europe
into a conflict possibly more disastrous
than any the world has known.
But if the latest advices can bo ac
cepted as trustworthy there may soon bo
a rude awakening for the nations from
their dream of . peace. The renewal
of the triple alliance between
Germany , Italy and Austria , and the
success of Emperor William in fcoeuring
from Great Britain concessions which
are understood to practically commit
that nation to support the alliance ,
should an exigency arise that would
make that support desirable , arc the
significant Circumstances which have
started anew conjectures as to how long
peace can bo maintained. The relations
between Hussia . and Franco have
boon growing closer for some time ,
and although there is no actual alliance
it is altogether probable that there is an
understanding which would imito thorn ,
in the event of either being attrclcod.
All the indications are that the very
best of feeling exists between the two
governments , and it is quite reasonable
to suppose that the outward manifesta
tions of friendliness have their founda
tion in something more substantial than
international comity. Unquestionably
Prance and Hussia fully understand that
they are to stand together in a European
war.
If Einpovor William really desires to
maintain peace ho will probnbly bo hotter -
tor able to do so with England as an
ally than If that country occupied a
neutral position. But a great deal will
depend upon the policy of the quadruple
alliance , for such it practically Is. If
the course is agtrrossivo only so far as
shall bo doomed necessary to preserve
peace , war may bo indolinite'.y post
poned , but any attempt to place Franco
or Kussia at a greater disadvantage
than now would almost certainly pre
cipitate hostilities.

It was evident Cerberus was gottlnz angry.
Ho stood up , looked the stranger In the face

ClmlrminVnUon of the republican state
central committee , when ho announced his
discovery of n law which required the Clco-
tiou of si governor this fulldccluruu , hu would
immediately cull tlio committee together for
thu purpose of issuing u call for thu proposed
election.
At the sumo tltno Tin : iJr.i : ttntnictedtts _
correspondents throughout , ttio state to nscor-
tain the views of leading local republicans
and members of the county central commit
tees ns regards tlio election In question. As
a result a number of very Intelligent nnd ex
haustive replies has been received. They nro
too voluniiiiotis to bo published , however , and
appended consequently Is hut the salient fea
ture of each reply. It shows , however , Hint
thu plan suggested by Mr. WnLson finds sup
porters only in t\vo Instances , thus einphasl/-
Ing thu fact that hereafter lit this year , the
question of a gubernatorial election Is to be
considered only a dead , n verv dead issue.
II. D. Hathaway , Lincoln I ean see no
Justice In nominating n candidate for gov
ernor tlds full , ( Jood reasons have boon ad
vanced to show that it can not bo dono.
\V. A. McAllister , Ooluinuus The election
would not bo a legal ono. It would not bo
proper to touch it until the United Status supreme
premo court passes upon LJovornor Uoyd's
cuso.
Li. II. Harris , Donning What U the use o (
trying to talto this matter out of ttio hands of
the supreme court and place It In the liitiuis
of the peoplol I can't see anything but tti-
Unite harm to the parly who attempts It.
A. A. Kearney. StuntonNo election nun
hn had unless n special provision is mnilo for
the sumo in ttio constitution or by statute.
If any person has discovered any such pro
vision ho .should immediately don the gurb of
a modern Mose-s.
M. C. Frank , York Under the constitu
tion Tlmyor's successor cannot bo elected
until tho' general election , Ib'.H being an odd
year. Mr. Watson perhaps Is on the verge
of joining the independents. 1 cannot ex
plain tils action on any other theory.
II. A. Miller , Darlington There is no
provision for counting the vote and declaring
the result and , without this , tin election
would oo folly.
Lioraii Clark , Albion If there is a vacancy
in the olllco of governor , my Judgment would
bo to Jill the olllco by an election. Uul I do
not believe there is a vacancy.
Dr. H. G. Miller , Grand Island-I think
Mr. Watson is making a serious mistake and
if followed uji by the republican party will
have an injurious affect upon it.
"
II. Lewis , Genoa tain" not in favor of the
proposition because I bullovo it to be uncon
stitutional.
O. W. Kico , Croighton My Judgment is
that thp people of the state will act wisely
bv acquiescing in the decision of our supreme
court in view of the fact that the Boyd
imbroglio has life enough to sustain the hopes
of admirers.
A. Dragor , I'onca Tbo election could not
bettor the condition of , but would perhaps
prove an injury to the party.
A. C. Abbott , Ponder 1 know of no law
that compels the governor to call n special
session of tbo legislature. As a consequence ,
the votes could not bo canvassed until 181KI.
Joseph Van Valtn , Nelson 1 understood
when Governor Uo.vd was ousted that Gov
ernor Thayer would lill out the uuexpired
term of two years.
H. S. Wilkinson , Weeping Water-I do not
believe it morally right , constitutionally
IcL'iil or politlcallv necessary.
II. M. 'Clark , Wahoo It would bo umviso
ns a political move to put up n candidate If
the present incumbent can hold over.
II. 15. Schneider. Fremont It is a mistake
to bring the matter up again and unsettle -
settle what has Just begun to bo a settled
Matter.
J. E. Evans , North Platte Such n course
would complicate the executive ofllco.
G. A. Lowloy , Sow.ml I cannot see how
the governor , if elected , could bo seated
without reconvening the legislature.
M. U. Davis , Ueatrico If Governor
Thayer should surrender his olllco the now
governor would certainly hold for two years
nnd there would bo no governor to elect next
year.
C. Chinn , St. Paul I do not wish to ex
press an opinion at present. ,
H. S. Silver , Sutton I am in favor of
olectlng a now governor this fall. I have
talked with 100 republicans nnd they are of
the sumo opinion.
J. S Gilhain. Ked Cloud- How a governor
can bo legally elected this fall is more than I
can understand.
Judge S. M. Chapman , Plnttsmouth At
first , I was strongly inclined to take u view
of the cnso that Governor Thayer was merely
Illling a vacancy , but from the examination
1 have boon enabled to make , I think the
other ono is the safer to accept.
.1 I , Mi'Phnnlv. Mlmlon No vncancv
exists. John M. Thayer is governor during
tbo term and until a successor is elected.
Jutlgo W. U. Uurton , Hastings I uo not
think nn election of governor in an odd num
bered year would ho legal.
C. n' . Lee , IChvood Why should > vo seek
to change n sure thing for an uncertainty (
C. R Habcock , McUook From u political
standpoint , it Is poor politics. Wo have a
republican governor now and if committed to
an election the alliance wouta elect thu gov
ernor.
Paul Schmlnko , Nebraska City Of course
I am no lawyer , but from what 1 can learn
.such a proposition would bo illegal. It
would bo unconstitutional to elect n governor
this fall.
K. M. Searlo , OgallulaIt would bo clearly
unconstitutional ,
CI. A. Prime , Grant Even if an election
were held and a covoruor elected , u special
session ol tlio legislature would have to bo
called to canvass the vote.
C. II. Halstoad. Tocumsch I nm strongly
In favor of the election nnd don't see why It
can't bo had unless the olllco of governor is
still under contest.
C. .1. Martin , Falrbury--H is the universal
opinion tlm' . n reorganization of the central
committed is moru to bo desired than un
election for governor.
T. H. Saunduri , Oscoola The republicans
lioro agree with John L. Wohstor that it Is
all popny-cock to talk about It and that some
body must tiuvu been anxious to got up a sen
sation.
A. D. Milliard , Central City There Is not
n republican hero who thinks the matter of
nominating n candidate for governor will bo
seriously considered.
J. II. Barnes , Norfolk It Is very unwise to
discuss the question ut all nt this tlino. At
the meeting of tlio state central committee
every ono held that un election would bo
Illegal.
George R Ford , Kearney As the Hon. J.
E. Hoyil has taken steps to have the United
Status fciipramu court sustain the decision or
rovorao tlio action of the supreme court of
tlio state , I am frank to say the decision ot
the higher power hotter bo wattod for.
J. D. Hoylo , Hebron -1 huvo talked to
nourly nil the prominent republicans and
they nil uny they do not favor the election of
n governor this ynar. . . .
L A. Ilrowu , ClmdronI consider it un
necessary In view of the fact that Nebraska
has two 'governors now who are only awaitI I
Ing the action of the courts to know which li
to serve the romalndor of the form.
Henry St. Ilaynor , Sidney -If a governor
could bo elected this year wo would have the
anomalous predicament presented over after-
, wanl of the election of the governor during
the odd and the other onicurs during the even I
numbered years , and the necessity of a ' *
proclamation of the governor to recouvona >
and the reconvening of the legislature ovary jf
two vonr-i , for thooxpross purpose of oan-
vnsilng the returns of the election for
gubornntorinl candidate. Thus tills whole
contention rcaehes the climax of absurdity.
( J. K. Wllkonson , Hrokon How -1 should
say It would bo n farce for the ropnbllcatm to
place In nomlnutlon a candidate for governor.

And some two or tlireo years ago u company
was orgnnl/cd for the purpose of building a
line from Galveston , through Kansas City on
to Montana and Miles City. The unfavor
able legislation with regard to railroads , no
doubt , had some oll'ect in preventing the pro
posed rotito from becoming a reality. Hut
the necessity stilt exists , anil lima will
surely force the building of the road. The
business for the road to do , now exists
and is done , though not to thu extent it
would bo done if the practice of feeding
range cattle could bo more extensively en
gaged in through a direct communication
with the corn belt. Already cuttle raisers
nnd sheep men are purchasing farms in Ne
braska and Kansas with the idea of bettor
preparing their product for market. There
is money in running cattle on tlio free range
of the northwest and proparlni' them for
innrltot in the corn belt , tnoroforo tlio du-
niiind for u railroad connection will bo madev
inoro and more apparent , and it will he ao- >
coinpllshod. Miles City is the center of tlio
greatest range area in tbo country and with
its natural advantages as a cattle shipping
point should command tlio body of that class
of carrying trade ,
A road is suro. Which will bo the llrst to
