The candidacy of Hon. Thomas Majors
for the position of governor forces upon
the party the momontoiH question
whether at this critical juncture ho is
available to head the republican
ticket. Can Mr. Majors t.ind the brunt
of the onslaught which will bo tnado
upon the republican candidate for gov
ernor in tlie impending campaign ?
Will the party under his leadership bo
in position to carry on an aggressive
campaign , or will his candidacy pltico
it on the defensive and thereby imperil
its success from the very outset ?
Has Mr. Majors such a record as will ,
if nssailnd , enable him and the repub
lican press to successfully repel every
onslaught and convince the people that
his conduct in ofllco and out of otllco en
titles 111 in to popular conlidenco and
suppo tV
Mr. Majors has been lu public life
many yoats. IIo served the country
creditably as a , soldier nnd has always
boon an unswerving republican. Ho has
done some very olllclont work for the
party anJ ho has boon honored by it at
various times. IIo has represented the
people of his own county and district In ,
both houses of the legislature nnd for a
brief period represented tilts state in
the lower house of congress. Two
years ago ho was elected lieutenant gov
ernor by n hmul-ionio plurality. The
next stop in the line of promotion would
have boon the governorship , and with a
clean , unimpeachable record Mr. Ma
jors vtoulrt have boon Invincible.
It will bo asked if Mr. Majors was
popular enough to curry the state for
lieutenant governor and run ahead of
his ticket In 1800 , why is ho not popular
enough to carry the state in 1892 ?
There is a vast difference between
running for lieutenant governor in 1890
against candidates who were scarcely
known and running for governor in 1K9J
against a candidate who is known to
almost every voter and is riding on the
crest of a tidal wave of popular crank-
ism. Two years ago , with prohibition
as the most absorbing issue , the light
was centered upon the candidates for
governor , and little or no attention was
paid to the candidacy of Mr. Majors.
This year , as in 1890 , the contest will
center upon the candidate * for gov
ernor.
Unless Mr. Majors could withstand
that iiory ordeal , his nomination would
involve an extra hazardous risk which
the party cannot assume in n , campaign
where there is so much at stake.
It is an open secret that very grave
charges aITocting Mr. Mnjo-s in his ca
pacity as contingent congresman were
published some months ago by the
Omaha Wo rid-Herald. Those charges
have never boon refuted or even
answered. While THK UKB has re
frained up to this time from alluding to
them , wo are credibly informed Hint the
editor of a loading republican paper
asked Mr. Majors whether ho could ven
ture to gainsay the charges , but Mr.
Majors did not doom it prudent to make
the attempt of justification.
Mr. Majors'conduct since ho became
lieutenant governor is equally indefensi
ble. IIo inuuecu the senate over which
ho presided in his caincity of lieuten
ant governor to create the sinecure of
private secretary to the president of the
senate at 80 a day and appointed for this
position Walter Soely , a notorious cor
poration capper and go-between for job-
Lors anU boodlers , to the inolTacublo dis
grace of himself and damage to the
party. The intimate relations Unit sub
sisted between Majors and this man
Sooly have connected his name with
many of the scandals in which
Seoloy played n prominent and
ditiroput'iblo part during the session
of the letrislaturo. Men are known by
the company they kocp , and Mr. Majors
must bo judged by his absociation with
Scoly , who for many months past has
been working up Mr. Majors' candidacy
by the most shameless distribution of
railroad passes which were furnished
him in quantities to suit his orders.
Will any rational person contend that
the railroads furnished Scoly with pass
books for booming Majors without the
knowledge or request of the lieutenant
governor ?
It is conceded that the battle ground
in the coming campaign will bo in
Douglas county. It is precisely this fact
that renders Mr. Majors' candidacy extra
hazardous even If ho had a clean record.
Two years ago Douglas county gave him
over 0,000 votes. This year hn would not
got half that number. For Una ho has
only himself and his man Friday , Soely ,
to blame. Mr. Majors had a perfect
right to oppose Dr. Mercer by all legit
imate means at his command , but ho had
no right 10 sot the state press against
'
Omaha and make Omaha the tarirot' for
a malicious onslaught that has never
boon equalled since the controversy
over the territorial capital. The ro-
publicatlon of those slanderous and
scurlious attacks would cost him thou-
sitnds of votes if ho were a candidate.
Wo regret exceedingly to be compelled
to call attontlon to these facts , but Tliu
Run would bo recreant to its duty if it
did not apprise the party of the disaster
that would almost certainly overtake it
if it should choose Mr. Majors as its
standard boiror. :

Some time ago the State department
at Washington requested Governor
Uo.vd to furnish a report of the numbur
of tiinls , convictions and executions in
this state during the pist : live years
unuor the law which calls for the im
position of capital punishment. Tills re
quest was in pursuance of an under
taking to furnish the Austrian govern
ment with statistics asked for In rotation
to capital punishment in the United
SUitos.
The tlguros for Nebraska woro' pro-
ourod by Deputy Labor Commissioner
Andros from the district clerks of the
various counties in which capital crimes
had taken place , and were given out by
Governor H.oyd for publication. It ap
peared by this report thut there hud
been eighty-two cases tried and fifteen
convictions. Of this number twonty-
three trials and nine convictions were
credited to Dawos county , and as this
Boomed to bo an extraordinary record
for n county whoso reputation is by no
moans lnd | Tm < : HKI ; telegraphed its
correspondent at Chadron yoatordav for
on tuo subject. It appears that
there linvo boon only two men charged
with murder In Itwos county , nnd In
stead of nlno convictions there have
been none at all there. Dixon , the
soldier who was executed in this city tt
short time ago , committed his crime
near Fort Hobinson in that county.
Another soldier , Sergeant.Tackson , who
fatally assaulted a subordinate at Fort
Hobinson , was tried and ncqulUod In
Omaha.
" Instead of twenty-three murder trials
and nlno convictions Dnwos county has
had no trials for murder nt all during
the period covered by the report.
Doubtless this egrogrious blunder origi
nated in a stupid misapprehension on
the part of tlia district clerk as to the
meaning of "capital" crlmo. It is si p-
posed that ho thought It was n crlmo
involving capital , or money. But what
shall bo said of the deputy com
missioner of labor , Mr. Andres , who
compiled this report for the State
department at Washington , to bo in
turn presented to the Austrian govern
ment as Nebraska's record of capital
crimes and executions ? Did ho , too ,
think that a capital crime was a crime
involving capital ? There can bo no
othet rational explanation of his report
of twenty-three nlurdor trials and ntno
executions in five years in a county
Unit has had neither the one nor the
other. Ho would bo an easy mark for a
bunco man. A green goods sharp could
catch Deputy Labor Commissioner An
dres for his last cent. Ho would buy
Bohemian oats at $7 a pock. It is lucky
that the brilliantdlstrictclork of Dawos
county did not report a hundred mur
ders , because it ho hud they would have
gene into Mr. Andres' rupo.rt to the
State department without a question
as to the facts in the case , and the in
fluence of our frightful example would
have been something tremendous when
the report reached the other side of the
Atlantic ,
It is to bo hoped that Governor Boyd
will take a hand in the matter now and
try to sot Nebraska right before the
State department and the rest of man
kind.

The claim of certain members of the
Board of Education that Mr. Hamilton
is not deposed as superintendent of
buildings by the appointment of a man
under the title of foreman of schoolhouse
repairs is the veriest rot. The school
board docs not need two such olllcers anymore
moro than live wheels are needed
to a wagon. Even if there was
work for both of these olllcials
there would bo constant racket
by reason of the clashing of authority.
Everybody knows , however , that the
olllco was created only as trading capi
tal for Wchrer's vote and every reputa
ble citi/.on will say that that is a scan
dal under which the board cannot afford
to rest. The only way the board can re
instate itself in public esteem is to
rescind its action as regards the super
numerary official and re-elect Mr. Ham
ilton for another term. This may bo
diht'tbteful to Mr. Wehror , but in morals
as in law a corrupt bargain is void. Un
less the mombard who voted to * give
Wohror a pull on schoolhouse repairs
purge themselves , they will justly bo
subject to the stigma which attaches to
such deals.

The congressional committee has con
cluded its investigation of the Home
stead trouble. It has yet to prosecute
nn inquiry regarding the Pinkerton or
ganization. Very little of importance
was elicited by the investigation with
whii'h the public bad not previously
been innde acquainted by the published
statements of the company and the
locked out workmen. Tlio olTorts of the
committee to obtain nny information re
garding the business of the company
which might throw some light upon the
merits of the issue raised by the men
were unsuccessful. When asked regard
ing the labor cost of production , for exam
ple , the manager of the works declined
to give any information on the ground
that ho did not think the company called
upon to make public Us private business
affairs. It was assorted by those repre
senting the company that the superior
machinery and facilities nt the Home
stead mills enabloJ the workmen to make
relatively higher wages than in other
mills , because limy could turn out more
product in the same space of time , but
this wascontrndicted by a representative
of the workmen , who stated that the in
creased product was duo to the fact that
the men worked continuously eight
hours , taking no time for motile. In
other respects the contradictory state
ments of the two parties left th < . < public
noJwlHor as to the real merits of the con
troversy than before the investigation.
There was one important fact ascer
tained , however , which was that the
company had madu arrangements for
the Pinkerton force that was sent to
Homastoad before it applied to the
shorilT of Allegheny county for protec
tion. In advance of the men going out
negotiations were completed with Pinkerton
korton to provide ! ! 00 men , supplied
with arms and ammunition at the expense -
ponso of the company , and when appli
cation was made to the shorilT ho was
notilled that this force would be at the
mills. The manager of thn company
was app'-ohonslvo thai the civil authori
ties would not be able to give the neces
sary protection and accordingly ho made
provision for having a band of armed
mercenaries invade the stnto ot Penn
sylvania , without any authority of law ,
to perform a function which belonged
solely to the civil authorities of Alle
gheny county , or in case of their inabil
ity to execute it , to the state of Penn
sylvania. It was claimed to bo the
intention to have the Pinkertons depu-
tr/.od by the sheriff , but this was not
done , and having gone to Homesteads
without any authority of law they were
in olTect rioters. Such being the case it
is of littlu consequence which party 11 red
the IIrat shot.
Another Important point is that the
tarllT had nothing whatever to do with
bringing about the controversy , and the
olTorts of domoorntle free traders to
nmko capital out of this trouble against
protection must fall with nil candid and
fair minded men who will give the mat
ter Intelligent and unprejudiced consid
eration. The company d6mnndod a
readjustment of wages on n lower sculo ,
on the ground that it was necessary to
mivo thorn fronij\o.4. \ The men refused
to r''duco thofienlol/ Such is-uies are not
uncommon ho'-o .JrJnd they happen quito
as often In freifj Jrado England. The
wngo question coutvl have boon settled
without much VjiWlculty , but the com
pany required Uirit'ho acilo should tor-
niinutoon December ! ! 1 instead of .luno
30 , which was regarded as ti declaration
of war against Uid' Anrilgnuiatod asso
ciation , and this'ho'fr ' constitutes the real
l suo. The tnolj o In proposing to
chnhgo the datqaijtonninalliig the scale
from mldsummor to midwinter will bo
plain to any undnrstandlng , and cer
tainly it has nothing whatever todo with
the tarllT.
There is no political capital for any
party in the trouble at Homestead. It is
a most unfortunnto affair , without par
nllol nt to some of Its features , and it
convoys lessons which should bo
seriously considered , but there Is no
politics In it.
TIIKUIS is an element of humor in the
working of thn street gang system as
applied by the Omaha police authori
ties. It appears that the criminals sen
tenced to work on the streets frequently
become tired of that kind of exercise
and lay down their hoes and walk away.
This is very inconsiderate on the part
of the convicts. They ought to 1vo 1 a
sufficient sense of honor to dotur them
from doing a mean thine like that.
They know that the work needs to bo
done and Hint by walking olT and leav
ing It they are indicting an injury upon
the city and dishonor upon themselves.
Yesterday the chief of police issued an
order that is Intended to chock this
shirking of duty , but it will not produce
any oll'oct upon the class most needing re
straint. The fact is that while street
gang sentences are well enough for the
"common drunks" they are not suited
to the requirements of hardened crimi
nals under the present regulations.
Under the now order deserters who are
afterwards caught are to bo placed In
solitary conflnomnnt for Iho balance of
their term of sentence.

According to the Lincoln papers , Tom
nonlon 1ms promised Tom Majors the
Lancaster county delegation. They

Two moro old whocl horses have been
brought forward as candidates for the demo-
cr.Uic gubernatorial nomination. The York
Democrat brings out Charles H. Brown and
says : "Work for him , nominate him , mid
the people of this state will elect him ,
Charlie Brown Is a winner. "
The Scribnor News brings out W. II.
Thompson for the honor and throws In
gratuitously the assertion that the "demo
crats of Nebraska cannot afford to monkey
with any moro Jim Boyds. "
13. F. Davis , ono of Governor Uoyd's ' oil
inspectors , is another democrat who wants
the party "massed In full battle array wltb
state , congressional and electoral tickets in

which ho is odltor , Mr. Davin remarks that
anyone who says "tho democratic party is

A Blair correspondent writes Tun BKB
that Cunningham H. Scott has been in town

Another district judge has boon given a
boom for the congressional nomination on
the uornocrjtic ticket. This time it's Frank
Irvine , the youngest man on the district
bench in Nebraska , nnd the Papilllon Times
is the father of the thought. Editor How

slice ot the bulk In Doano's domain.
A Crawford correspondent says : "This
whole country Is unanimously In favor of J.
S. Bartloy of Atkinson for sloto treasurer
and Kugoju Moore of Norfolk for state audi
tor. Thcso two ofllces will satisfy the north
ern part of the stuto. The long headed con

George Hompstcnd , treasurer of Sarpy

Editor Edgar Howard of the I'apillion
Times. Mr. Heninstcad had Just settled
with the county commissioners and turned
in $150 interest money on the county deposit.
What makes this n little out of the usual run
of affairs Is tbo fact , that the county adver

the treasurer had Interest money to turn

Swiss statesmen nro not to bo seduced
from their policy of neutrality nnd the
soml-otUclnl rejoinder by ono of the rosponsl-
bio ministers nt Uorno to n recent pamphlet ,
published In Home , which argues that U
would bo to the best in to raits of Switzer
land to seek nn nlllanco with Italy , Is n
model of plain speech. It says that the
Kovornmont nnd the people uro tn accord
with the will of the powers which guar
anteed their neutrality nnd "havo no idea of
any alllnnua" . Then the proltorod bait ot
gaining fresh territory or winning incronsod
power hoa no fn ciiintlon for them. They
nro not ambitious In these directions. They
uro ( jutto siulsllod us they ore , with the people
ple fairly prosperous , with no serious Internal -
tornal dissensions , and with cohesion
gradually establishing itself between th
cantons. When Savoy was annexed to
Franco , they might have Insisted upon
the fulllllmont of promises thnt Switzer
land should linvo the neutralised terri
tory , but they waived their rlpht became
the Protestant canton of Geneva would have
boon swallowed up by the Putholio popula
tion of Savoy , or , If another canton had boon
constituted , the equilibrium would hnvo
boon destroyed. Thostuno argument holds
good today. Now the Swiss know where
they nro , they uro ijrndually concentrating
their political forces , Iho balance of power
between Ultrnmontanes nnd Protestants Is
beginning to regulate Itself , nnd they hnvo
no doslro to impose upon the confodorutlon
fresh people who might not readily amal
gamate with the cxistinir population. For
these reasons Switzerland simply nslis to bo
let alone nnd be allowed to protect huriolf in
case of any outbrcuK. This she claims she is
nblo to do with her ! ! 30,000 or 400.0JO mon , no
matter from which side any attempt to violate
late her territory may como.

The unionist proas is forecasting delay on
the part of Lord Salisbury in resigning of
llco. It Is oven intimated that ho will moot
the new parliament and force the homo rule
nllios to vote him out of onieo. This is not
the ordinary course ot procedure. Mr. Glad
stone when dofcntod In ISM , Lord lioacons-
lleld In similar circumstances in 1SSU , Lord
Salisbury in 1S35 and Mr. Gladstone again in
1SSO , did not await the assembling of parlia
ment before tendering the resignations of
the ministers of the crown. H is true that
the majority for the opposition was larger in
ouch of thojo Instances than It is likely to bent
nt this time. Out none t'jo loss the povorn-
meut of the day which appealed for tnc sup
port of the country has boon defeated in
the present elections , and consequently
it will not bo in u position to meet
parliament when it reassembles on August
4. The fact that the Oludstonlnus will lack
n clear majority of the commons and will bs
dependent upon iho support of iho Irish
party does not niter the c.iso. Lord Salis
bury in 183(5 ( did not hnvo u clear majority
without the votes of the soventy-sovou
liberal-unionists ; nor did Mr. Gladstone-
IbSo without Irish votes ; but in each in
stance the defeated government promptly re
signed olllco. Lord Salisbury , If ho attempts
to disregard the verdict of the country and
to face u hostile coalition majority in August ,
will violate precedents , nnd tlio-io are sacred
things in England. Ho is too astute n states
man to challenge iho now parliament to
complete- overthrow.

Tno Husslnns are blaming England for per
mitting cholera to cross their frontiers by
omitting to tuko proper precautions m India ,
and especially for not looking uftor the Af
ghans and compelling them to take tbo
proper sanitary precautions. It is said that
the bodies of cholera victims have boon kept
in some sort of quarantine between Herat
una the Persian frontier , and afterwards
sent on to bo buried within the sacred pro-
'cincts of Meshed , thus increasing tbo con
tagion. It is taken for granted that the epi
demic entered northern Persia from Afghan
istan , but iho British authorities , of course ,
deny that they nro in any sense responsible ,

We've always stuck to the idea that
men , if they must wear clothes ,
want good ones , and with that
end in view , we have always
been supplied with the latest

best fabrics extant and in no
case have we palmed off year
old styles as new. We don't
carry over any goods. That's
why once a year we cut the life out of
prices on everything in the store so as to
get them out of the way. Now is the
