Tun old soldiers of Nebraska will vote
for Tin prison , rvthor ; than lend thorn-
solves to ti Rchomo by which their great
est onciuy , Clovolaiul , is landed , in llio
white houso.
TlHO "billion dollar congress" cry ,
heard so much two years njjo , has dlsap-
7)eared. LlUo ovoiy other issue taeklod
by the democratic pirty : , It proved to
have a largo boomerang : atuichmont.
A NK\V Yomc peiiius proposes tbiitan
"null-fanatic Iniluonco lot"ue"bo ; organ
ized. Lot It bo done. There it ? an tin-
harvested crop in those parts that needs
the spcuillo treatment of such a league.
THK democratic jvipers are circulat
ing a table showing that Lincoln signed
loss pension bills than Cleveland. This
Is ono of the sample louical nnd .sensible
democratic arguments of the campaign.
SOMI : of the Chicago papers are in
dulging in export opinions on the politi
cal situation in Nebraska. Their com
ments remind a native of the s-igo remark
of a Dublin editor on the growth of free
tiado in the state of Oinuhn.
DID either the Mills bill or the Morri
son bill provide for free sugar ? Not at
nil. It was loft to the republican party
to socnro tli.it boon to the west. The
democracy , cowed by the southern sugar
planters , did not duro attempt it.
Tmni ; are two classes of farmers in
tins state. Ono farms the land and the
other farms the farmers. Of the latter
class the great alliance loglslnturo ol
1891 was composer ! Lat the votnrs sub
stitute the genuine farmers this year.
Tin : democratic candidate for con-
press in the First , Iowa , district in joinl
debate , nagged by the taunts of his op
ponent about the false crioj of two years
ago , declared boldly that "things arc
becoming cheaper in spite of the tirilr. ; '
ITVOUU ) bo well -for republican
committees everywhere to pay little
attention to stories of democratic disaf
fection. As long as the oilor of spoils
can roach the democratic nostril , his
wroponsltj to vote the ticket struigh' '
can never bo overcome.
IT HAS been remarked by many per-
Hens that this country is not experienc
ing the u-iual business stagnation o
Drcsitlonlml years. The stagnation i :
present , however , but it has been trans
forrcd to England , thanks to "tho in
famous robber , McKinley tariff. "
IK TMIC republican party had don
nothing else for the farmers , it wouli
deserve every farmer's vote this yea
because of the tociprouity law b
which the exports of agricultural pru
ducts have > vastly increased that th
amount for the past year exceeds thn
of 18SH ) by the almost incredible Bum c

Section 15 , nrticlo d , onlillod "K.xoou-
ivo Doparlmont , " of the constitution of
Nebraska , pro vldoi Hint o very bill passed
jy the legislature ) before it becomes n
nw , nnd every ordort resolution or vote
to which the conotirronco of both houses
nay bo nocessarv [ except on questions of
idjournment ] shall bo presented to the
governor. If ho approve , he shall sign
i ml thereupon it shall bscoino a law ;
nit if ho do not approve ho shall return
it with his objections to the house in
which it shall have originated , which
house shall outer the objections at largo
upon its journal and proceed to recon
sider the bill.
If upon reconsideration Ihroo-Afths of
the members olootcd to both houses vote
in favor of its passage thd bill becomes
a law.
In confcrrincr the veto power upon the
governor the 'rumor * of our constitu
tion simply followed the precedent as-
tnblUhcd by the federal constitution ,
which confers upon the chlif executive
of the intloii power to vote any bill
mssod D.v co'igrosa The object of vestIng -
Ing this power in the chief oxocutlvo is
to inturpojo a bi-i'lor ng.ilnst unconsti
tutional , Iristy and reckless legislation.
It is the sworn duty of every president
and of every governor to oxeivlso the
veto power conscientiously and fo.irleasly
in every Instincovhero ho believes
any measure to b3 an infr.iclion of the
constitution , or whenever in hia judg
ment any measure is deemed to ba in-
jurioti-i to the pttblUwelfare. .
In the rccn.nt debates batweon General.
Van WvckiuHlJiiJgot'rounsoVnii
has pnblU'ly voluntuoroU the pledge
that ho would approve any bill tint the
legislature might see 111 to puss. While
this pledge was evidently in ado with
reference to railroad regulation it was
nothing more nor loss than a bold bid for
votrs by a promise to ignore and nullify
the plain mandate of the constitution ,
General Van \Vyck was educated as a law
yer. Ho knows enough law to know
that It would b ihis sworn duty if elected
governor to Interpose his vote whenever
the legislature should pass any bill
which ho believed to bo unconstitutional
or inequitable. The constitution em
powers the legislature to establish reasonable -
sonablo iinx'mum ' froiglit r.\tes , but. it
would bo the sworn duty of any governor
to veto any maximum rate bill which
upon examination ho ohould llnd to bo
unreasonable.
In striking contrast with General Van
Wyol ; was the answer of Judge Crounso
wliuu ubkod whether ho-would sign any
railroad bill the legislature might see
111 to enact. IIo declared that if elected
he would live up to his oath of office.
He would carefully examine every bill
first and if it was framed in conformity
with the constitution and its provisions
were just and reasonable it would have
his approval an 1 not otherwise.
No man who considers his oath of
olllco as binding , and desires to main
tain the fhecks which the constitution
has placed in the way of hasty or ill-
considered legislation can do otherwise.
General Van Wyck's promise that ho
would allow the legislature to go un
checked if ho wcro elected governor
shows to what extremes ho is resorting
in order to cater to popular clamor.
The statement of Mrs. Lease , the Kan
sas populist lo'idor , regarding the treat
ment of General Weaver and hor.solt by
bouthern democratic mobs is undoubt
edly a wholly truthful version of the
cowardly outrages. The attempt to
palliate these manifestations of intolor-
,1100 by claiming tint the mobs wore
omposod of young men and boys is
lisposed of by Mrs. Lease , who says that
n many instances prominent mon were
cadcrs in the disturbances ; in some
MISOS organi/.cd party clubs. It is per-
cctly obvious from what Mrs. Lease
ays , and all the circumstances sustain
lor , that the indignities shown the
> opiilst ! candidate for president wore
lot the result of a spontaneous outbreak
of the spirit of mischief , as the demo
cratic apologists for the outrage claim ,
jut were deliberately pre-arranged , the
oadors selectiid and , the program car-
led out according to form. It is alto
gether absurd to suppose that boys
wo-ild engage unprompted in disturb
ances of this character , and it is on'
tirely fair to a = sumo that such noiv
voters as were ongauod in the outrage *
were not only inspired by the clcrao
cratic politicians , but were assured inv
inunity from punishment for any cense
jucncos that might result.
Mrs. Lease very properly thinks thai
those outrages ought to bo resented ,
and she says that If a vote for Woavoi
will bo in eirect a vote for Cleveland i
is the duly of populists in the north ant
west to vote for ttio republican candi
dates. It ought to bo plain to every intelligent
tolligent man In the populist party thai
a vote for Weaver can have no othoi
oft'oct than to aid in electing the domo.
cratio candidate. There is no
blllty of the election of the populist candidate
didato , but the choice of Weaver electors
tors in the normally republican stito
might throw the election of prosidon
into the hou'io of roprosont-itlvos am
thus insure .the choice of Mr. Cleveland
This is why Mr. Sp.'ingor advised th
democrats of K ins.is to vote for the pop
ulisl olectora and Governor Boyd gav
similar counsel to the democrats ol Nc
bnibka.
formar republicans who have idoi :
tilled thdmsolvos with the now part
should seriously ask themselves whotho
they nro praparod to assist 111 makln
Mr. Cleveland president In view of th
fact that the dominant clement of th
dumoer.iey the clamant which coi
trolled the national con volition an
would control the national admlnlstn
tion is still as intensely soctionn
in fooling , and as Intolerant hi spir
us It has ever beau. No domouratl

In the compact batwoon the city of
Omaha nnd the Union Pact flu railroad
the representatives of the city should
not lose sight of the most vital point In
all thuja negotiations. The conditions
under which Omaha donated fulHl.OOO-
000 worth of real estate and bonds to the
Union Pacific railway twenty years ago
obligated Unit company not only to
maintain principal inichlno shops at
Omaha , but also to continue perpetually
to tr.tnsfor Us freight and pissongor
business on the grounds donated to It.
The company kept faltn with Omaha ns
regards the maohino shops , but it did
not comply with its obligations regarding
the passenger and freight transfer.
The Inrrior against the real union
depot in Omaha has boon the Union
I'aciliebridge. Through the Iniluonco
of the Into Sidney Dillon the dcuut at
Dlllonvlllobocamo llio real transfer
ground and Omaha was made a way
station. The marvelous growth of
Omaha dosnilo all these drawlt&rks and
the building up of the stock yards and
packing industry at South Omaha
forced the Hock Island and Milwaukee
roads to seek ontiMiico at any cost into
this city to enable them to compnto with
the Burlington. Their advent in Omaha
under a special contract with the Union
Pacific was almost simultaneous with
the now contract between Omaha and
the Union Depot company and the
Union Pacific by which vitality was
given to the original agreement that
Omaha was to bo made accessible to
every road that connects at this point
with the Union Pacific.
Now it is proposed to quit-claim to
the Union Pacific all the right and title
which Omaha has ever had to its depot
grounds , and furthermore to abrogate
that part of the contract by which the
Union Pud lie company bound itself to
allow any connecting road to use its
bridge and depot facilities at reasonable
rates. In other words , by canceling
the contract made in 1890 the city ro-
lea us the Union Pacific from any obliga
tion to permit the Iowa and Missouri
roads converging at Council Blutls to
cross its bridge or enter its depot at any
price. It allows the road to cancel its
contract with the Rock Island and
Milwaukee on throe years' notice , and it
may oven without canceling the con
tract exact such enormous charges for
the use of the union depot that
they would practically bo excluded.
All these points should bo digested
nd considered before wo surrender the
ist vestige of power by which Omaha
may bo able to sustain her claims as the
terminus of the Union Pacific.
IT is reported that a corporation com
posed in part of eastern capitalists has
been formed under the name of the
United Stales Beet Sugar company to
stablish a large number of sugar
actories in this state. As the boot
ugar industry promises to become very
mportnnt in Nebraska , which offers tbo
best advantages for it of any state in the
union , there should have been no lack
: ) f local enterprise and capital to carry
t on. But if the factories are built as
contemplated they will give a great
stimulus to beet growing and will
nrgely increase the volume of business
.11 this stato. The idea of distributing
i number of factories about the state
will doubtless produce good results by
encouraging the culture of beets in
: nuny localities where they are not now
produced. The sugar factories do not
employ a great number of men and do
not run throughout the year , but every
now ono added will increase the number
of wage earners. It begins to look as it
Nebraska were destined to become
famous as a sugar producing state.
THK treasury of the Associated Chari
ties is not so full thai it cannot accom
modate further contributions , and Iho
offerings of Iho charitable will still bo
welcomed. The season is at hand when
the calls for charity will rapidly in
crease and it is desirable that none who
are deserving shall bo allowed to go
away empty-handed or without adequate
help. Doubtless there are a great
many persons In Omaha who intend to
do something through the medium of
Iho Associated Charities for the relief
of their loss fortunate follow beings -
ings , and all such should carry out thoii
commendable intention at once by plac
ing what thov propose giving in the
linndr. of the society. Whoa want and
sulTorlng make their appeal it shoulc
meet with prompt response.

There is no gleam of humor In anything
that Urovor Cleveland ever wroto. Ho is
dull , stupid and soggy. Ttio only thing that
ever scorned to stir him to morriuoss was the
contemplation of some crippled and dlsoaso-
raclicd soldier usk.ng his country for u few
piltry dollars in the way of n pension. Observe -
servo bis attempts at witticism in vote in or
seme of those applications. In votoinc the
pension of Andrew J. Wilson , he said :
' Whatever else may bo said of this claim
ant's achievements during his short military
career , It must bo conceded that he has ac
cumulated a great deal or disability. "
In the case of Alfrsd Denny :
"Tho number of instances in which these
of our soldiers who rode horses during the
war wore injured bv being thrown forward
on their saddle. " indicates that those saddles
were very dangerous contrivances. "
And this Is the case of John \V. Forrls :
"Tho ingenuity developed in the constant
and persistent attacks upon the public treas
ury by those claiming pensions , nnd In the
Increase of these already granted. Is ox-
til bl toil in bold relief by this attempt to include -
cludo sere eyes among the results of aiar-
rhooa. "

Right Rev. A. U. Graves , D.D. , bishop of
Nebraska , preached three sermons hero yes
terday. The bishop's morning sermon nt
St. Pauls was an interesting resume of the
work in Nebraska. Ills text was from St.
Mark , xvl. , 15 , "Go yo into all the world una
preach tbc gospel 'unto ovary living crea
ture. "
Ho found Iho country west of the Platte
thinlv settled. Bishop Graves said , with
but 800,000 people in 51.000 square miles.
The great problem was how to got them to
gether for religious purposes. The end was
accomplished by securing a largo force of
missionaries and giving each ono cnnrgo of ten
or twelve parishes. The problem of educa
tion for these scattered people was anothot
dtfllculty. A school had beeu established a
IConrnov , Nob. , with occotnodatio ifor
150 pupils. How to furnish churches was an
other problem. Vacant school houses and
saloons were talcen possession of , and ono
sod house had boon built ns a memorial , the
only sort of structnro which ivas. impervious
to the sand storms of that section The mem
bers hud increased steadily.
The bishop wanted money to support min
isters und uivinity students , to builu
churches and chapels , and provide scholar
ships for the diocese.
The Post this morning says of the bishop :
"Ono of the most inlorosllnir llgures of the
Episcopal convention in Baltimore has been
the bishop of Nebraska , Ht. Huv. A. K.
Graves , D.D. , who has done wonders for his
church slnco bo took charge of the territory
of the Plutto. A little moro than two years
, ire ho was called from ono of the loading
ihurchos in Minneapolis to take charge of
bo work la this Hold. Bishop Graves was
n Washington yostorday. With character-
.stic western energy ho'was not content to
preach once , but led three services. "

shnggy-contod dog came around the corner of
Smithstou street on a lull run. 'ibo torror-
inspiring cry of "mad dog" was quickly
raised , nnd everyone in tbo path of the
animal started for shelter.
Before the crowd could scatter , however ,
the dog had bitten nearly a dozan men and
ono little girl. Ho then started up the btroot
und bit Charles llinuor , William U. Booker ,
Dr. F. B. Uosjol nnd S. Mvors. At Ninth
street the dog stopped for an instant and
Olllcor.lonos , seeimj the opportunity , ran at
the animal and nlruck it upon the head with
his club , stunning It. Pinning the animal
up the olllccr placed it beneath the wheels of
n passing car und the life was crushed out
Only the names of those givou nbovo could
bo obtained , as all the bitten people were
taken away to the nearest drug stores , whor
their wounds wore cauterized.
