IT is good tactics for anti-republican

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

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

ing Harrison's defeat. Suppose they
capture Colorado , North Dakota , Kan
sas. Idaho , Nevada , Montana , Wyoming ,
South Dakota and seven votes in Michi

ANAUCIIIST BKUUMAN , who at

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Wlionovor tha democracy bns tiau a forlorn

It appears tbnt Mr. Gladstone has dolor-

has further acknowledged that the rostora- ,

tening the fulfillment of an unshaken pur
pose. Nor can wo doubt that the consequences

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. The proportion of females
to mnlos varies consideruoly in different
counties. In three the males nro In excess ;
in ono of those , Linllthtow , there nro only
S8.DO females to 100 mnlos , On tbo othur
hand. In Forfnr , to every 100 males there are
121.r > 0 females ; in Buto , 121.U , and In Shetland -
land , 13 , " ) . , ' ) . The extraordinary excess of
IcmalcK in the three last mentioned counties
la , of course , due lo tbo fact that tha greater
number of emigrants are able-bodied males.
In Scotland , us in England , thuio are evi
dences of n inr.rkod tendency of iho people
to coiicu iiuatlon in towns , though the ; drift
Is not uuito bo noteworthy as it was iu the
preceding decade.

H seems that u very coiislderuolo minority
of iho mill bands In the English midlands
are by no moans enthusiastic over the reso
lution In favor of nn eight hours bill , which
was odoptuu recently by their delegates. A
correspondent of the London Times , writing
from Manchester , says : "In ranny places
tbo now policy of the operatives' council has
been bulled with enthusiasm iiud almost with
unanimity. In others the invitation to sup
port it was received with blank surprise.
Explanation has bean culled for and found
wanting. At u Stockort mooting , which ap
pointed a delegate to vo\a \ against tha pro
posal , the action ot iho operatives' loaders
was much condemned. For iiiuny years , It
was erilJ , they had bean 'opposed tooth aud
uall' to the eight hours day , but at the lust
moment they had turned round to support
It. The abruptness of the rcvoHnl
wn < alto likened to 'a somersault.1 Severn !
spankers were of the opinion that the suc
cess of the movement would bo the ruin of
the trade. Atn Preston weaver * ' meeting
a workman energetically declared that ,
while ho was not ngaltist eight Hours , bo
was against supporting It just now to oblige
the spinners. Ho pointed to lenders who
had 'veered from north lo south1 upon the
question , while offering no ndcqunto reason.
At an Oldlmm spinners' meeting complaint
wns mndo thnt 'tho question had been
sprung upon them,1 nnd thnt more tlmo
should hnvo boon give'n before voting.
However , iho meeting pasted by two to ono ,
a resolution that It would bo better to have
nn eight hour day than frequent stoppages. "
