Town joint debates liavo begun nnd promise to extend down to the candidates - | , didatos for road supervisors und town- 11 .ship trustees.

Ii' Tin : Pennsylvania railroad stays out of the coal barons' combine the people - plo of the west will roinombor that road In a substantial manner whenever they have the opportunity. Tun olTnot of Peck's figures on the campaign scorns to have been judged strong enough to summon Mr. Cleveland - land from his bu'/.znrd's roost to Now i York in n very hasty manner. ( THE agent of those cholera ships who nssurcd cabin passengers that no steor- * ngo passengers would l > o carried dot - t servos lynching if over any man did. ji No more malicious and cowardly net for the sake of money was over perpetrated. IT is good tactics for anti-republican organs and politicians to boom Scott and Mercer for congress because they would bo easily distanced. But repub licans who want to put up n candidate that can bo easily elected should endeavor - doavor todisappoint the enemy , and nom inate llio man that will poll the largest vote. IT MUST bo gratifying to the free sil ver people to observe that the list of aubscriptions to the silver campaign fund that is being raised in Colorado is holding Ha own. The subscriptions are published in the Denver News , and wo tire glad to note that the list appears to bo about as long an it was a weuk ago. This shows that none of the subscribers have changed their minds. Tnu American Bunkers' association , which lias boon in session at San Fran cisco , adopted just before adjournment n resolution declaring it to bo tlio sense of the convention "that the state bank note is not a tmfo or desirable money issue. " This is u direct and deliberate Blap at the democratic platform and will meet the approval of every thinking business man of this country. TIIK democrats carried Now York city in 1888 by 55,810 plurality ; two yearn hi tor they carried it by (13,570 ( ; lust year with all of Flower's boodle , and the thickcat of the campaign wugod in that city , they carried it by 59,472. With all their uivisioim this year they ought to have no moro than 00,000 , nnd unless they have 10,000 moro that that , Now York state is surely for Harrison. TIUSHR is no disposition or doslro on the part of Tun BKU to rule anybody off the congressional race track whoso ubility to fill the position creditably is recognized and whoso caroo- : and record ullord a reasonable nssurnnco of popular approval. THIS Bins IUIH no candidate to foist upon republicans of this district , but it fools bound to warn republicans ugainst committing a serious blunder. WKAVISH and his followers nro mak ing great claims of carrying many west ern states and fool euro of accomplish ing Harrison's defeat. Suppose they capture Colorado , North Dakota , Kan sas. Idaho , Nevada , Montana , Wyoming , South Dakota and seven votes in Michi gan , they will still leave Harrison 225 aluclonil votes , two moro than necessury if ho carries the other states lie carried four years ago , with no thought of Vir ginia , West Virginia , Now Junsoy und Connecticut , all probably republican. ANAUCIIIST BKUUMAN , who at tempted to kill H. O. Frlck at Pitts- liurg , says that ho would rather dlo than uuffor long imprisonment. His only regret is that his attempt fnilod , and herein ho dliTera from tlio anarch ists now behlnd the ImrsatJolIot. They claim to bo sorry for their crime and would ilko to bo sot free on that ac count. Neither their wishes nor those of Borpman will bo likely to have any olTuat upon the regular course of the law. Anarchy Is becoming extremely ynpopular , and one of tbo boat signs of the times is the fact that the labor or ganizations of the country are outspoken in their douunolutlou of it. WlIRllK Tlth J-Vin.VBR ir/lS ttKVKPITKtl Ono of the most vnlu iblo achieve ments of the present administration was that of inducing European governments to remove the long-malnlained restric tions on American moats. In order to understand how important this work was it is necessary to rotor to the o.xtotil of the restrictions. The first country to prohibit the importation of American pork was Italy , In 1879. Austria-Hun gary followed In 1881 and in 1884 the importation of nil American canned meats Into Hungary WIIH prohibited. Franco excluded American pork In 1831 and in IfeS'J American lard was subjected to ofliclnl inspection. In liSO Germany prohibited the importation of Ameri can pork except in the form of bacon and hamf , but three yo.irs later the pro hibition was extended HO us to include American hog meat of every descrip tion. Germany also prohibited the transshipment through that country to other markets of American pork pro ducts. Dunmark followed the example of Germany , ns did also Turkey and Greece , the latter , however , maintain ing the prohibition only a short time. Iho olTcct of this quite general Eu ropean policy upon our exports was very decided. In 1881 wo sent pork products to all other countries to thu v.xluo of $101,000,000 , and in two yoarb the experts - ports of these products had declined about & ! 1,000,000. For seven years , or down to Juno 30 , 1890 , they remained below $70CO,000 , being less than $00,000,000 annually during the first throe years of the Cleveland administra tion , when diplomatic olTorL of a feeble and fruitless character was made to se cure the reopening of the European markets to American pork products. The policy of Euiopoan governments operated to the injury of American pro ducers in three ways. It closed those markets to direct trade ; it reduced experts - ports to countries which had bought largo and ovor-increasing quantities of American pork and rosbinpcd it to Ger many ana other countries , and it re duced the consumption of American pork in countries from which it was not olltclally excluded , by producing a false impression as to its wholo5omonoss. This was the situation when a repub lican" congress nnd n republican admin istration eiimo into power , and the very important question of inducing Eu ropean governments to remove the restrictions upon our meats was among the first that received consideration. Our ministers wore instructed to ur.ro this matter persistently upon the at tention of the foreign governments , congress passtd the meat inspection law , evidencing the dcsiro of this gov ernment to do nil it possibly could to commend our products to the accept ance of other countries , and vigorous efforts wore instituted by our repre sentatives abroad to break down the barriers which had been so long erected againut us. These efforts were successful. Ono by ono the European governments removed the embargo , and the result is soon in largely in creased exports of moat products , amounting for the year ended ,1uno 30 , 1892 , to $83,000,000 , an increase of nearly 820,000,003 as compared with tlio yearly average during the Cleveland - land administration. This trade is steadily growing , and thoru is every reason to expect that it will , in the next year , roach at least § 100,000,000 , and may attain the prouoriions of 1881. Iloro was a direct gain to tlio tanners of the country , enlarging the markets and insuring thorn bettor prices for their pork. It has given thorn in the year succeeding the removal of the restrictions nearly $20,000,000 moro than they received the year .Jjoforo tlio re moval , and it is not to bo doubted that it will go on increasing from year to year while there is any surplus in this country to oxnort. The credit for this very valuable addition to the commerce of the country belongs wholly to the re publican party. Tin : IIMT/JU The controversy over the control of the Omaha Water Works , which lias boon pending for months in the federal courts , is of moro than passing interest to our citi/.ens. While the ownership of Iho works is vested in foreign capitalists Omaha is entirely dependent for her water suoply upon the unin terrupted operation and efficient management of the works. It has boon very unfortunate that the Omaha works are langiou in ino uugauon over the Denver works. The Omaha plant has boon n safe and productive investment. Its machinery and system of reservoirs are on a basis for supplying uelty of 230,000 people. The contract with this city for hydnmt rental virtually covers the Interest on the bonded debt nnd the receipts from private consumption are steadily increas ing. Under proper local mnnngomant the income would probably cover til" expenses , including the maintenance and necessary extensions. But if , under the order of a , Now Jersey court , part of the Income derived from Omaha is to bo divided to moot the deficit of the Denver plant there Is a liability of fail ure to moot emergencies that may arise nt any tlmo by unforeseen accident. It is to bo hoped that the courts will Keep in view the rights and interests of this community , which should not bo jooparai7.ua by the contest between the htoukholdors nnd creditors of tlio com pany. MlMll.l 11(1 ( COW/JIM flUKS. There are some curious political com plications in Colorado. A largo num ber of the democrats of that f-lato went over to the poopld's party because the Chicago convention declared against free coinage , but it appears that they still consider themselves members of the democratic party for nil purposes of atato or local politics. Ilonoo the Denver - vor A'CIPS appeals to Us democratic readers to attend the caucuses of the oia party ana assort their rights as members of tlio political household whicn has hitherto claimed them , ur- L'uing that they have only enlisted in the cause of Weaver because Cleveland is opposed to their free sit vor views. It is doublloss very pleasant and con venient to belong to two political parties , but this attitude of the demo cratic element of the people's p.irty In Colorado will bo lllcoly to ijlvo rise to perplexing complications. It at least clearly rind foiclbly demonstrates tlio folly of the oxpcctut.on thnt nn orcnn- izatlon inado Up of suuh heterogeneous elements as those whtuh filter Into the composition of the people's parly can possibly survive long enough to accom plish anything. The fruo silver demo- orats In the people' * party nro for the gio'Uor part men who are bent upon furthering u sectional interest. Most of them are In the silver slates und are on- do ivorlnir to promote a great industry of these hiatus by their present political .nation. linyond that they huvo no con cern for Iho success of Weaver or the organization which ho represents , and they certainly do not care a straw for any of the other purposes which the people's party so fondly and delusively cherishes They are still democrats and openly avow their allegiance to their old party and their purpose to act with It In everything save the support tof Cleveland. Here la something for the republican populists to rolled upon if they should happoti to have a lucid Interval botwcon now and election day. Lot them not bo deceived. Their democratic coadjutors In the Bilvor states tvo a foxy outfit and are not in the calamity hualnoss at all. A I'ATiiior The redoubtable stay-ut-homo patriot who , like Artomus Ward , was willing to sacrifice all Ins wife's relations in the war , but took care not to place himself within a thousand miles of a rebel bul let , has for months boon cavorting in po litical meetings nnd shouting lustily for the ( lag which ho wouldn't dcfand when it wi.s assailed by traitors. On this hobby-horso and the wave of patriotism ho wants to ride into congress. His de luded followers actually believe that ho earned his bogus title of "colonel" as a loyal veteran. Now that the manic has been dropped tho.v ought to realize that they have been imposed upon by a de signing politician whoso dramatic exhi bitions turn frenzied howls are all for the grandstand. The most absurd thing of all is his im pudent assumption that ho is the em bodiment of all Americanism , and' that any opposition to his crazy ambition is in reality opposition to the principles of good government. "I am the state , " said Louis llio XIV. "I am all there is and all there can bo of true patri otism nnd Americanism , " exclaims the Great Scott. The question is , why should Great Scott want two offices at the same timoV And what service has ho rendered either lo the people or the party that would entitle him to such distinction ? CIVH TllK I'LAIN FACTS A CIIAXGE. The annual report of Labor Commis sioner Powers of Minnesota , which nat urally deals rather with the interests of agriculture than with those of the man ufacturer or the wage earner , presents facts which provo that the farmers of that state are prospering and that their condition is far bailer than in previous years. Commenting upon the report the St. Paul Pipiuqr Press says : "Not only docs it show that agricultural interests in this state tire prospering , but it shows such a marked improve ment in the last ten years as was scarcely expected oven by those who were confident of the fact and had mudo some isolated inquiries that confirmed it. The tables for the wliolo state will not bo ready for some time , but the figures presented for the counties where the work is done are telling. In twenty- two of these counties the mortgage foreclosures on farm property in 1891 were less than one-fourth of what they were ten years before. " It la the habit of some of the calamity people in Nebraska , when shown the falsity of their statements as to the con dition of tlio farmers , to point tn neighboring states by way of proving that their claims are in a. general sense true , though they do not happen to fit tlio case of the Nebraska farmer this year. The real truth is that the pros perity of the agricultural class in nil tlmtpoition of the west to which the people's party is giving its special at tention is an established fact that can not bo denied. Nobody claims that the nvorngo farme > is growing rich , nor that there are not bomo who are very poov. It is so in every business. Tlio wealth goiters are the exceptions in every walk of lifo , and will always bo so. The most that can bo expected is a fair measure of prosperity , aod there is no evidence that the farmers of the west are not attaining this. A contrary belief simply sots facts at defiance. A number of republican meetings will bo hoi a in various parts of Nebraska tonight , notably ono nt Fremont , where General Crouuso will speak , and another at Beatrice. THB BBIS would urge republicans to interest themselves in these meetings , to lay aside all matters of ordinary concern and attend thorn , and thus show that they roulizo the im portance of the political contest in which they are engaged with roforoncu to both national mid state interests. A great deal of inlluanco may bo exerted by wull attended and enthusiastic meet ings. Their tendency is to encourage friends if not to discourage the onomy. Speakers do better where they have lur ; o and interested audiences , and the gonor.il elTuct is to stimulate party uoul and activity. It should not impair the confidence of republicans to suy that we cannot have too much of these qualities in the campaign in Nebraska. It is well to have it undorotood that the republican light hero must bo pushed with all possible vigor to the onil , in ardor to win. The enemy , marshalled under shrowodnnd indefatigable loaders , will lese no opportunities , and he must bo mot at every point with equal vigi lance and activity. Eurnost , unflagging work is the prlco of republican victory in Nebraska this year. The situation generally is reassuring. In Iho eastern and middle status there la a grout deal of republican activity , and there nro good reports of the course of the campaign. Ir. thu doubtful statiM , and parttcu- lirly in Now York nnd Indiana , the re publicans nro pushing tlio work of thu canvass und the udvlcoa are encourag ing. Indcod , the present outlook in the "plvotul slate , " Now Voric , la altogether cheering , for , Wlttlo the republicans are united and hsiFfl nious , there is a great deal of disaffection among the demo crats. It is possible Hint This may dis appear , and jj Jd understood that the p csonco of Mr. dlovalund in Now York city has for its principal object nn effort to placate Scniv'iqr Hill and at Iho Mime time satisfy tW "anti-snappors , " who nro very muohj fsgruntled at being ig nored in the management of llio cam paign , but jusUlt this tlmo tlio demo crats of Now 'Vork are not a happy family. Tlio indio.itlons from the north west nro also generally favorable to the republicans , nndjn short , the signs on every hand are favorable to republican success. There are strong reasons for believing that the republicans will carry every stale that gave its electoral vole to that party four years ago. It is not desirable , however , to encourage courage ovor-confldonco. It is better to fcol that there Is always danger until the b.ittlo is won , and that , therefore , i is necessary to keep on with the work with unabalod zoiil and energy. At any rate , this is necessary on the part of Iho republicans of Nebraska. Unless they make a vigorously aggressive campaign they may have c.iuso to regret not hav ing done so when the votes are counted November 8. KVJUYIIODY will sympathize with the unfortunate people .who are imprisoned on the cholera-infected ships , exposed to the constant danger of being stricken down by Iho disease , and certainly If a practicable and safe way can bo found to relieve them from the peril they are in it ought to bo adopted. The situation Is very strongly pro- onted in the letter of Rev. Dr. Fisher , who Is a prisoner on the Nor- inn mini , and the suggestion ho makes that those who are well should bo quar antined elsewhere seems to bo en tirely reasonable. It is barbarous to kcop people in health penned up with cholera raging all around them , nnd it is perhaps as good a plan as could bo adopted to help the spread of the chol era. Obviously the well persons should bo removed to a safe and secluded place instead of being loft to wear out the danger of cholera , as is now being done with them. It is a most cruel condition to which these people are subjected. WmsN' Mr. Dave Mercer has acquired fair standing in any profession , or when ho has gained some experience in any legislative body < outside of the lobby , ho may become available as a candidate for congress. At tbp ? present time ho does not possess tlio qualiflcations for such a high position and' ' his nomination would weaken the ticket by throwing the party on the defensive. At this critical juncture that ( Wotild certainly bo very unfortunate. 4-w Mercer can afford to bide his time ihnd climb gradually to the top of the Huklor Instead of begin ning1 at the toplund tumbling down. TIIK organization of the Nebraska Leiiguo of Loijijjina ; Building Associa tions at Lincoln , was ofconsidorablo , im portance , to , tnAnyr porBO.ns in this city and stato. These associations are be coming very popularihefo. and rightly so , and a harmonious Miiion 'of nil for purposes of mutual advantage is wise and cannot help rendering the opera tions of all moro safe and profitable to stockholders. And as its president is an Omaha man added interest will bo foil in the league's success. JUDGK SCOTT may as well retire gracefully from the Hold and endeavor at least to fill the balance of his term on the bench with some dogrco of respecta bility. His scramble for political office in the middle of his term is unbecoming and lends to lower the dignity of the courts. His candidacy under any pretense - tense is a monaco to party success. Julius Htorlirur Morton Isn't running for ofllco for the llrst tlmo this fall. For moro than thirty years ho baa bccu In politics in Nebraska , and for a quarter of a century ho lins boon a standing candidate ior ofilro , Wlionovor tha democracy bns tiau a forlorn tiopo to load , J. Sterling lias bean selected to load It. I3ut whenever there has boon a shadow of hope of success , Mr. Morton has been relocated to tha rear. Counting this campaign us Rood as lost , Mr. Merion bus run for governor four tlmos and ueon dafoatcd. His tlrst oxiicrlcnco In this line was In 1800. wnon David liutlor easily vanquished htm. Ho tried It a < 'aiii in 1SS' ' , but ran up against JauiosV. . D.iwos. Al though knoclcod oul , bo again entered the arena two yoara luiur , In 1681 , ui alnst the bamo antagonist , and bo stood r.bout as much show us bulllvau did with Corbott. But like the plucky nun thit ho Is , ho has he roically coma to the cantor again to fall before - fore a valiant antagonist. But tuo governor ship isn't Urn only oulco to which Mr. Mor ton has aspired. Throe tima-i bo has wanted to go to congress , but the people nquolchod his asDiratiohs. It was la IStiJ , the year before - fore tbo war broke out , that ho llrst essayed to gralify that ambition. Hut S. U. Dalloy baat htm at iho polls. The , your following the war bo tnoa it agalu , but T. M. Marquott proved the victor. Then htPto'o'U u rest on his con grossionat amuluou for twenty-two years , but iu 1SSS ho bobbed up soranolr aud tried conclusions with W. J. ( Jonnoll , only oaco moro to go down In defeat. But Mr. Morton basu't always boon ou' , of olUco by uuy moans. In tbodays-Avhou Nebraska was a territory , from llW to 1381 , ho served as secretary of the territory. Ho was aUo a uiumuorof the territorial legislature for two terms. But In the whole quarter of a century ot statehood ho h < w been a standing candidate , never an o31oar. The record will not bo brokou in this ycur of gruco. The Lincoln Sun 1ms passed In its chocks and Sam Elder has baou rotiominuted for the legislature. Aud still iho populllos declare that the Indopoodinit party Is not on the do- cllno. * The prospcts now uruttmt Stan ton county will harvest the largest crop of corn kown in her history , and the democratic plurality of 200 will dwindle in proportion. Iioxt week will wltnoii tbo opening of the campaign Iu every county In Nebraska. The ututo oouimltteo has urranqcd tormeellnps at every county seat on the IMh , They will stir up a cyolono of enthusiasm.

This Is pretty linrd on some ot the ether liboplo In the party. Governor Crounso Is aenln In Nebraska and ho will st'iy in the stiun from now until ho is triumphantly elected in November. And It will not , bo som'o ether November , either , but November next. The Vork County Press hsu assorted loudly , hnt It had proof that Candidate Halnar was not a citizen. But a ?

Nob. , Sept. 0. fSpcclal to Tim BCK.J An Idea of the dovo-hko pence nnd'harmotiy In the democratic ramp of this county may bo obtained from n communica tion Iu iho Syracuse Herald ( n democratic litipor ; ot tbo 8th. "A Western Delocnto" slims the nrtlclo , and his views are believed to bo general in tha unstcrn part of tlio county. After saying the Nebraska City delegates attended the convention simply to get everything in sight , the communication closes as follows : "Tho city may tlnd lots of glory In having the convention , but wo fear Inn candidates on the ticket may find there nro a few voters outside the limits of tbnt burg. " ucnr.it IIXIH > TI/.I.V ouits. It appears tbnt Mr. Gladstone has dolor- mined to withdraw the British troops from Europe. The now prlmo minister has pub licly declared that England could not evade complltyjco with nn International agreement to withdraw her troops the moment that order should bo restored in Rgypt ; nnd ho has further acknowledged that the rostora- , tlon of order can no longer bo disputed. Mr. Laoouchero's throat to remind him of these declarations can only have the effect of has tening the fulfillment of an unshaken pur pose. Nor can wo doubt that the consequences quences of the British evacuation nro foreseen - soon by Mr. Gladstone. Ho can cherish no illusions ns to tbo foundations of the kho- dlvo's authority ; and ho must know that , the intervention of some European uowor Is In- dlspensiblo to the application of revenue to the payment of interest on the public debt , nud to the security of foreign residents in Egypt. Ho must know , also , that if the Interposing power is not Eng land it will bo Franco , and therefore the recall of the Dorset regiment will prop erly bo recognized in Paris us the first stop in u process whoso final outcome will bo too despatch of a Frenfch force to Cairo. If wo look somewhat closely at the matter , wo ' 'shall .sco that the Kothschilds nnd Lord Hos- bory , who mnrrlod a daughter of their house , have no reason to view with misgiving the substitution of Franco for England as the guurdinn of the Interests of the Egyptian bondholders. The Hebrew llnnnciors , of whom the Kothschilds are the chiefs , are re puted to wield incomparably moro political pownrln Paris than nt Westminster ; Indeed , it Is the stock complaint ot M. Drumont and of the unti-Sotmtic faction that the success ive ministries which have governed Franco since tbo downfall of McMahon have bceu the nominees nnd Instruments of the Israelite bankers. Tboro is at least enough truth in the assertion to render it certain that the dividends on Egyptian bonds would bo paid as punctually under a French occupation of Egypt as they nro now. The withdrawal of the British troops from Egypt will undoubt edly bo Insisted on by Mr. Gladstone from a sense of duty ; and bo would resent with indignation the charge that ho has entered into a bargain with Franco. Nevertheless , as a statesman whose business it is to obtnln all lawful advantage for his country , ho is not likely to reject the concessions in regard to Newfoundland and Morocco wnich tbo French government , in its eagerness to re cover influence in Egypt , is uelioved to have offered. There is now n prospect that the troublesome question relating to the rights of French iishormcn nnd lobster canuers on the west shore of Newfoundland may bo settled to the satisfaction of the islanders. Then , again , the co-operation of Franco with England would unquestionably secure a treaty throwing open tbo broad and natu rally fruitful empire of Morocco to foreign trauo , the bulit of which would inevitably fall into British hands. * * Ono of the most remarkable phenomena oxhlDited by the United Kingdom during the present century is the growth of Scotland. This is iho mnio striking because it tins been contemporaneous with the decadence of Jro- land , whoso population is now only about one-half of what it was before the front famine of 1840. That not only is the number of inhabitants increasing In Noith Britain , but tbnt thounnciUlons of life are undergoing singular improvement , is proved in n report of tbo registrar general , in which some inter esting results of the recent census are em bodied. According to the enumeration made on the 5th of April , 1801 , the number of in habitants in Scotland amounts to1,0 5,1117. Ten years before the population was but 8,720,073 ; . there has thus been a total In crease of 200,071 As , however , the excess of registered births over registered deaths in the same period was f/J7-UU , the loss of in habitants duo to the excess of emigration over Immigration bus been 217,118. Tbo rate of Increase , 7.77 per cent , is lower than In any preceding decade , with the exception of that ending in 181)1 ) , when iu wa * 0 per cent. Wo may , therefore , assume that the present rate of Increase will continue , m which case tbo population of Scotland will double itself In u littln over eighty-nine yours. Wo may add that on tbo day of enumeration there was a proportion of 107.2 females for every 100 mules. ' 1 hla ratio U tbo lowest that has yet been experienced since 1801 , whet : tbo ratio was that of 117.0 females to every 100 males.
