From head to foot the republican
ticket will not only commend itself to

THE IIKPUDLWAK PLATFORM
The platform unanimously adopted by
the republican stuto convention is a
clear statement of principles which
ought to command the unqualified ap
proval of every citizen of Nebraska , its
it certainly will of all republicans in the
state. Its hourly endorsement of tie |
administration of PrvsMont Harrison
accords with the aontimont of thp purty
every whoro. The assertion that the rp-
publican party Is the friend of all classes
of labor is justified by Its record , which
warrants confidence In Us pledge to care
for the interests of labor in the future.
Every gpod citizen will concurin the
utterance of the platform regarding con
flicts betwcqn labor and capital and the
method suggested for their peaceful set
tlement.
The platfortg pledpes the party in
favor of legislation thai will giv ° the
farmers of tbo state olovutor und ware
house facilities at reasonable and equit
able charges , and also furnish them
proper transportation facilities to nil
accessible markets promptly , and with
out discrimination at just und cauitabla
rates. This refers to a matter which is
of prime importance to tlio agricultural
interests of the state. The demand for
the regulation by law of express charges
within the state is in the interest of iho
wlolo ) people. The proposed amend
ment to the convolution providing for
nn eoutlvo ) railroad commission , to bo
voted on ut the November olccllon. is
favored , and the party is also committed
in favor of a postal telegraph system ,
postal savings banks and rural free de
livery , all of which would bg chlelly
beneficial to the agrioulturul population
and the smaller communities. The evil
of trupts Is locognlzod and lawsto eradi
cate and repress them recommended.
The necessity of a revision of thp
revenue laws of the state , so ( that all
property rightfully subjoot to taxation
shull-contrlbtito Us just share to the
public revenues , is generally opncedcd ,
arid the platform suggests that this bo
done by a commission of competent por-r
sons representing the principal indusr
tries of the state. The claims of the
union soldiers upon the beneficence of
the natjpn are duly recognized.
With this declaration of sound prin
ciples , and clean , cap iblo candidates ,
the republican party can confidently ask
the support of the voters of Nebraska.

A dispatch from the summer homo
of Mr. Cleveland at Bu/zurd's Buy
states thut ho is much pleased ever the
result of the election in Alabama. It is
to bo inferred from t his that ho had
boon apprehensive of democratic defeat
there , assuming that ho paid ar/y / at
tention nt ull to the contest , But at
any rate , tbo fact that Alabama , which
has boon uniformly democratic at every
election for twenty years , IB still so
pleases Mr. Cleveland. Ho finds in U ,
as do the democratic organs generally ,
the assurance that the south is yet solid
for the democracy , The fear that the
now political movement might mttko
serious inroads upoa democratic ,
strength in that sqctlon has bnen dis
pelled by the result In Alabama. The
monuco of the people's party to domo-
crallo domination in the south no inoro
troubles the democratic mind. Ala
bama h'.ia demonstrated that that party
is not a dangerous factor there , and thut
whatever it may accomplish elsewhere
it will do no harm to the southern dom-
ocruoy.
It Is in this spirit that the Philadel
phia Record declares that the election
in Altibiunu "puts an end to the four
tluit the south can bo seduced from Its
old alloglunco by nny sldo issue. " "Tho
south is solid , " exclaims that dovotcd
organ of the democracy ; "tho result In
Alabama him cleurod awuy the smoke.
From henceforth the battle will bo a
battle waged in the debatable states of
Iho north. " Unquosllonubly tnla Is nn
uccurato statement of the situation. The
people's party , though originating In
the south und having Us organizers
ohlcfly from that section , is already
practically dead thoro. The probability
is that General Weaver will not carry
half u dozen counties in the entire south.
The southern alliance men will vote the
democratic tlolcot They will do so bo-
citUBo before everything elbe Jri ijolltics
they nro democrats. For local.oi'sttvto
ofllcora they may vote against that
party , but In a national election they
can bo counted upon with absolute cor-
ttlnty to vote the democratic ticket. It
Is a foregone conclusion tha.t they will
do stf this your.
Will former1 republicans who are Iden
tified with Iho now political movement
In Iho west , and who Still' bohovo that
tha principles of the ropublto.in ttarty
are inoro liondllctVo to the welfare oi the
country than dotnocrallu principles ,
seriously consider this situation ? Do-
sprlod , as they ovldontly 'will bo , by the
southern wing of the political organiza
tion with which Ihoy itro nlllltatod , are
Ihoy prepared to contribute to demo
cratic success bv casting tholr voles tn h ,
hopeless CiiusoV It-raust bo apparent to
every intelligent man among them tllKt
there could bo no possible advantage to
tlio people's party In democratic suc
cess. The election of Mr. Cleveland
would insure the recognition of no single
principle for Which the now 'party
contends , but It might result in porpotu-
ntltig democratic control of iho govdrn-
mont for muny yours. When It is cfm-
sldored what that would moan in the
way of reactionary legislation , ln the
overturning of established financial and
economic policies lo which the vast
business interests of the country have
become firmly adjusted , no man who Is
Bollcltous for tlio continued progress nnd
prosperity of the country can doslro
democratic success , \yill the ox-repub
licans intho ( people's party allow them
selves to bo m ndo itio r.atspaws of the
southern democracy ?
TIK I'KOPLK'S PAltn- CANDID
In nominating General C. H. Van
Wyck ns its candidate for governor , the
people's party selected the ablest uhd
the most popular of Us leaders , but did
ho possess tno ability of Danlol Webster -
stor or Roscoe Conkllng ho btill would
bo unable to nmko Iho lovol-hondod people
ple of the counlry bollovo In the doc
trines enunciated by the now ' political
organization. General Van Wyok has
hud an honorublo carcor as a soldier , a
representative in congress and a sonn-
tor of the United States. As a leader
of the now political movement for the
relief of the toilers ho Is distinctly out
of place , in view of the fact thai ho is
.jmo of the wealthiest men in Nebraska.
It is not conceivable thut General Van
Wyck can bo In accord with the wild
financial schomps advocated ) , * by Iho
_ party with which ho ia now identified.
Himself n capitalist and u man of nota
ble shrewdness and sagacity In finan
cial alTairs , no ono knows botlor than ho
the utterly impracticable character of
the now party's economic principles. Iij
accepting Iho leadership of Iho no\y
movement , thuroforo , it iq fair to as
sume that Gpnoral Van Wyck has in
view the furtherance of an ulterior am
bition.
As to the other candidates on the
people's ticket they can hardly bo re
garded us toilers in * tlio sonao that the
farmer und the mechanic- . Three of
them are lawyers , one is an ed
itor , ono a school teacher and two
are farmers , Ihougti of Iho Int-
ler one is more of a speculator in farm
products than a practical agriculturist.
Each and all of thorn wore politicians in
the old parlies und have long cultivated
an itch for office. As a whole they will
not compare in character and capabili
ties with the republican candidates.
Not one of them , except Van Wyck , has
ever been prominent in public life , and
it can bo said of several of them that
their success in private life lns } not been
suci us to give assurance that ihey
would make a p.trliculurly brilliant rec
ord tn public affairs.

months of navigation , This ox.coods by
20,000,000 bushels the receipts of 1890 for
the sumo period , which was the best
previous record. The railroads are get

the receipts of grain by lake lo August

bushels while Iho railroads got22,000.000
buaholB. This year the canal gets only
ubout 20 bor cent pf the'total amount
received , und besides this the railroads
got nearly all of the Hour , which amounts
this your lo several million barrels.
With reduced business and diminished
rates Iho boatmen are having hard
times this year , and many of them huvo
boon obliged to give up the fight , Ciear-
uncos of cttnal boats from Buffalo to dale

and 4,957 in 1891. These facts will bo

It is lee soon to expect largo results
from the newly opened source of supply ,

OTTAWA , Ont. , Aug. 5. When tbo agita
tion over the Jesuits was at Us bolcht , n few
of tbo equal lighters hinted that annexation
might bo utilucd as a last resort toesuapo
Roman Catholic domination. Now BOIUO of
the Irish Catholics and French Canadian pa
pers are htnttng that annexation Is the Dost
way to oacapo from Protestant domination.
Today's Issue of United Canada , a local
Irisb-Cathollo organ , has a loading article
beaded , "Justice or Annexation , " In which
it deals with the judgment of tlia prlvv coun
cil in the Manitoba school cases. It says :
"Ono ot two things must soon come. This
war of Protestant against Catholic race
against race must , soon coma to a close , or
otborwlso annexation. Two classes of people
ple In Canada are certainly deltgbtod with
this decision , and they are the extreme Pro
testants and those \YU0 favor annexation. "
La Canada , a French daily pacer , bad also
other significant articles , following up its
previous articles suggesting annexation because -
cause French-Canadians , as it says , cannot
got lustlco under the British flag. Lo Can
ada holds that the fact thut bait a million
French-Canadians uro contentedly settled in
the United States Is proof that they nro > veil
treated there and got on splendidly. It as
sorts that no ono can reasonably dcjiv tha.t if
the province of QuoDoo were In tbo United
States' , it would bo well off and Us people
would make their rani It there.
"They would not , " it concludes , "havo to
engage in a war of races and religion there
because every race is wclcojno m the United
States and every religion respected. "
