DOUGLAS COUNTY is in a great fer

right when tlio ballots are countod. *
ALT , those in favor of I3oyd for a

WOMK.V cannot vote in the schoo

TUB heart of the entire nation goes
out to the poor Tammany democrats in
Now York city who are being abused
and cowed down into losing their votes
because of the tyranny and oppression
of Johnny Davenport.
TnisitK are a few Holf-rcspocting dem

obey the urgent request of Governor
Boyd to desert their ticket and become
recreant to their party principles by
voting for the Weaver electors.
DON'T fail to vote "yea" for the pro

THK burning of Ohadron academy at

not In the louat surprising- .
THK getting out of the vote is the
duty of every republican , committee
man or not. There a-o umny men who
neglect to vole simply because they are
not ntiKud to do so. An invitation should 1
bo extended to all , and every republican
Bhould look over his list of acquaint

IT IS lo bo hoped that the judges and
olorks of election in thU city will do
their work moro system tlcally than.
heretofore.Vhllo there are a trrcat
many names on ntieh ballot there is ii'j
reason why the count cannot bo com

l cxpcdito the count very much.

Tlio lawof 1RS7 dlrjots that .congress
plmll ho in session on the second
Wednesday in I''obrttary ' succeeding any
mooting of electors , to canvass the vote
of such electors. Tuis is done in Iho
presence of both houses , in joinl session ,
the president of the sctialo p-esiding
and announcing the vote of each state
as counted and ascertained by Iho tellers
appointed on the part of the two houses.
The proceeding : ) are required to bo en
tered on the journal of eacl'i hoiuo. The
law makes ample provision for Iho set
tlement of all controversies relative to
oleclors. In case ot the non-election of
president and vice president by the
electoral college , the house elects the
president and the senate elects the vice
president. In the election of president ,
only ttio three persons having the high
est number of votes of the electoral college -
logo nro eligible. The voting is by
states , each state counting ono , and the
vote of a majority of the stales is. re
quired lo elect. In the oleL-lion of vtco
president , one of the two highest can
didates must bo taken , and n majority
of the whole number of votes in Uio sen
ate is needed to effect an election.
It will thus ] bo con that the election
of a president is far from being com
pleted with iho casting of the popular
voto. though it has happened but twice
in our history that the result wtis not
decided by that vole. There is a strong ,
and perhaps growing sentiment that
the present method of electing a pres
ident is unnecessarily complex , and
that it would bo moro consistent with
republican institutions to elect by the
popular voto.
A QUHSTIOX Ob'
The western farmer who ships his
produce to the eastern market between
the iniddlo of this month and the loth
of next May will indirectly pay into the
pockets of the railroad companies ot the
east the difference between their pres
ent rates and tlio rates that will ba
established n boon as the canal is closed
for the winter. The Now Vork Cham-
bur of Commerce has requested that the
Erie canal bo kept open as long as pos
sible this year on account of the grain
blockade , but the formation of ice will
close navigation on thai great water
way within two or three weeks.
It suems a pity that the west , which
is deeply interested in tlio subject o
transportation to tlio'onstorn seaboard
should bo unnblo to exert any direct in-
llncnco upon the canal question. The
recent convention at Oullalo in Iho in
toroat of canal improvement may do
Homo good , but no influences wore
brought to bear upon Us action except
those belonging lo Iho blito which it
traverses. Prominent men from Now
York city , Huffalo and other points 01
the line wore present to nntto in ni
appeal to the state legislature to take
measures for the improvement of ttio
canal , but Iho great intoro-its of the
west wore not represented. Resolution
were presented from several wc.ston
cities , including Chicago , Milwaukee
Detroit , Duliith and Toledo , In whicl
the Interest of the west in the improve )
ment of the Krio canal was set forth , bu
there was no representation from ( his
section In Uio convention. It is unfortunate
tunato that a common carrier of snol
Importanro to tlio whole country shoult
bo wholly controlled by the legislative
action of a blnglo state , but there is no
remedy o.xcont Ihrough governir.y t-con
trol , and ttioro'is little prospect of that.
The enlargement of the K.-io canal is
absolutely demanded by the intorcsls of
the west The Now York CommcrcUtl
Jlitllctln says : "Tho interest ttiKon in
the prcBurvatloti of the Now York canals
by the great grain markets of the west
is easily uxpluimul by a comparison of
the ( 'rain freights to the soiboard : rul
ing during the open season of the canals
with those exacted by Uio railroads dur
ing the time wlmn they alone are avail
able for transportation purges. Grain
rates from HnlTalo to Now York during
the latter period are , as a rue ! , fully
double those charged during thn former ;
and the difference
between the two
marks the inlluonco of the canals in en
abling Miippors to hold foreign trado'by
cheapening the cost ol layIHL'down tholr
grain in foreign markets. "
Thcro Is nothing for the west to do in
thU matter beyond what It in already
doing In the way of impressing the people
ple and the lawmakers of Now York
with the Importance of making the
great , waterway edcctlvo as tin outlet
for western grain and other products.
The canal is now so much in need of im *
provomont that during the past season
hundreds of i/oatshnvo boon laid up because
cause their owners could not afford to
run them from UulTalo to Now York
only half loaded. The deepening of Iho
canal and the enl'irgomcnt of Iho locks
is demanded by Iho interests of Now
York in order thct a cheap outlet for
western products may bo secured , for
the abandonment of the canal would
cause the vast grain output of Iho west
to ba distributed by rail lo oilier castor n
markets which have in the past re
ceived only a small | x > rllon of it. Tlio
rnilromU arc trying to destroy the
canal , fo'it in the intorcstof cheap trans-
.Dorlnlion . this should bo prevented.

According to a recent report of the
comptroller general ot Georgia the as
sessed vain ititn of the property on
which the n.jgroos of that Htato pay
t-ixos h fully $20,0KiOOrt. : It nlso ap
pears that the property owned by the
icorgia negroes hw : increased In value
uring the past twenty years much moro
apidly than has the property owned by
ho whites. It is sonnwhat significant
tint such advancement in material prov
lority should have boon nnula by the
olorcd rnuj in tlio south in spite at all
ibstaclos which they have to encounter ,
. 'ho secret of the suroe-as achieved by
he negroes in Georgia Is that tho.v are
vorkors , while a great portion of llio
vhito men eat the bread of idleness.
When it is roinombnrod that these col
ored men were a few years ago msro
hattols , with no opportunities what
ever for ac'qniriug a knowledge of Innl-
loss and with no incentive to accumu-
ate nroperty on their own account , it is
omnrkablo that they should now hold
S-OJ ' ) ) ,00 ! ) worth of property in a single
st-ite. This , liowovcr , is only their ns-
sassed valuation , and no doubt thulr
total possessions would amount to a great
leal more.
In spite ot all discouragements tlio
southern negro appears lobe doing well.
[ Ie docs not have an equal chance with
Iho white man but ho is willing to work ,
m.d work alw.iy.s counts. Tlioro nro
many idle and worthier colored people
in the soulliQi-n states , but there are also
many who ave industrious and thrifty ,
who save tholr naming * and seek lo ac
cumulate properly. Considering that
these i > ooplo were a few years
ago in a condition no bctlor
than that of an ordinary beast
of burden It is surprising that they
should now bo making such progress in
material prosperity , ttivo Iho colored
man a chance and ho will make hia own
way In lifo und take his plnco among
those who make and save money.

There are only two candidates for Iho
city council in ttio Fourth ward , 1) , II.
Wheeler and George Whitloek. Tin- :
13HK has boon asked to state which in
its judgment is the moat deserving of
the support of the taxpayers of the
ward. THK Bun frankly concedes that
both of these candidates are objection
able , but it , such c iscs the only thing to
do is to choose the man who will do the
least mischief.
There is an old adage that when a
man cheats you once ho alone is to
blame. If he cheats you twice you can
only blame yourself. I ) . II. Wheeler
has had a fair trial in the city council.
Ho made the ollico a source of revenue
for himself and forced insurance upon
nearly everybody who had any busi
ness with the city. Uo was a
leader in the disreputable combine
of 1839 and worked with Ibc gang that
was repudiated last year. His work In
and out of the council has boon against
the city and for corporations. It was
through his agency that Ilia Board of
Trade was compelled to abandon the
freight bureau project and leave Omaha
jobbers at the morey of the railroads.
Wheeler has no claim to the support
of republicans. lie worked against
Liningur and tostiliod under oatli that
ho voted for dishing.
In view of thcso facts TUB BISK un
hesitatingly advises the taxpayers and
cllix.ons of all parties lo cast their voles
\Vhitlock. .
Whitlock is not exactly what the citi-
y.ens of the Fourth ward desire , but ho
is not as dangerous a ; Wlicolcr and at
best he will bo on probation during his
first term.

All the countries that will participate
in the international monetary conference -
once have appointed their representa
tives , and there is nothing surprising in
the statement that the advocates of the
single gold standard are in the major
ity. It was expected that England ,
Germany , Austria and Belgium would
send delegations having a pronondor-
nnco of monometallism , but it appears
that this fact is not regadod as nocoi-
surily defeating the prinio purpose of
the conference , which is to devise some
plan for the larger mo of silver In inter
national oxohanjfos. It Is rop.vloil to
bo the belief in London linancial circles
that the CDiifu/encu will olfout some
arrangement , and there is no longer
talk of the futility of the cotigross.
There nan bo no doubt that Kngllsh
llnanclors , whoso inlluonco in the con
ference will bo stronger than that ot t
the llnanclors of any other country ,
'
roall/.o that there is urgent noaussily
for a settlement of the silver rjuostloa
that will remedy existing dillioultioa ,
which are as troublesome and embar
rassing to England as to any othur
nation. This W.H plainly shown in the
recent address of tin/ president of the
British Institute of IJ inkers , who suld
that the duty of tha govornmant to
effect a practical remedy for the exist
ing dlllluultlu * could never In mot by
theoretic discussion. This declaration
has been recplved a highly significant ,
indicating as it does a douidud change
in Ilia attltudo of B.-lllsh financial
eircloa toward this question. Equally
significant have baen some of the news
paper expressions , which rolleot the
popular sentiment and indicate a growth
of opinion favorable to a moru llbural
policy regarding bilvur. It Is a.iid that
tlio government lu considering sugges
tions , before Instructing Us delegates ,
from Inlluontlnl.Kngllsh flrmi for a settlement
tlomont on the innls ot rcclproc.il concessions -
cessions , the gold countries receiving
sll vor coins and jUo } silver countries in
return giving rog.iUatlons In tariffs , but
obviously a rcciiTfot-lty of this kind la
not practicable /ft would bo a good
arrnngomont for England , but It Is not
apparent how atjyjpthor country would
getanvadvantagVjfrom it. There will
bo a great deal lifxlntorost in the character -
actor ot the instructions given the
English delegates , but1 it is safe to ani
tlcipato that they , ' , ' will not bo ut all in
the direction of the free coinage of
silver.
It Is evident that European countries
are not unappreciatlvo of the importance -
portanco of the silver question , and
that there Is a general desire lo llnd a
solution of it , but the conflicting intert
csts at stake present dlllicultles that discourage -
courage the hope of a satisfactory sot-
tlomcnt. Still it is u reassuring fact
that the financial interests of Enpland
have ceased to talk about the futility of
the conference , and tlr.it the British
government seems to bo earnestly seek
ing the best opinion on the tlue9tlon.

Mr. Euclid Martin , chairman of the
democratic1 state central committee , has
issued a solemn manifesto to the democ
racy ot Nebraska which roads a3 fol
lows :
DomnoraU are wornod aentnst ballots pur
porting to DO domocralto sample ballot * upon
wtiluh crosses nro placed onposlto the demo
cratic prtHldontUl electors. It Is the desire
of Uio democratic slate comrnlttoo that dem
ocrats everywhere should vote for tbo
Weaver electors.
The avowed purpose of this note of
warning is the desire to head off a great
conspiracy on the part of the member
of the nvtlonal : republican commitloo to
have democrats supplied with straight
democratic sample ballots in plnco ot
the mongrel ballots collun up at the in-
stnnco of Governor Boyd.
What nn edifying spectacle !
The chairman of the democratic
state central committee telling demo
crats to uowaro of the straight demo
cratic ticket !
Was there over such an exhibition of
duplicity" and imbecility ? The Idea ot
a great national party on the eve of a
presidential contest striking its Hag
and deserting its regularly nominated
electors !
But the most ridiculous of all Is the
fright of the democratic organ over the
disco very that a straight democratic
tickut would bo circulatad at the polls
today in place of'Iho bastard tickets
that have been gotten up by ambitious
democrats to hoodwink their deluded
followers while masquerading as Simon-
pure democrats.
If any honest democrat is not ashamed
of such a pusillanimous abandonment of
all principle ho riiust indeed bo devoid

At a recent inept ing of the Kansas
State Bankers association the'president
of tlio association snjd : * 'I congrat
ulate you uuon the mot evident debt-
paying era that * our estale or any other
state has ever known. In fact , it is
almost a'boom' in that direction. Our
people are not only paying their debts ,
but are learning valuable lessons of
economy. In all tlio years of our ex
perience in the stale wo have uevor
seen such a determination to pay debts.
Already you have soon the effect of it
improved credit and cheaper money. I
congratulate you upon the bountiful
crops of our blato this year , upon tlio
evident increased value of her farms
and lands , and I venture to say that at
least Uio younger men of this associa
tion will see the farms and lands of
Kansas worth twice tholr selling price
of today. "
This is told of Kansas , a stale that
certainly docs not excel , oven if it maybe
bo said to equal , the great state of Ne
braska. It is an expression of what a
banker sees and Unows. Similar ex
pressions have come from bankers in
this state , and it must bo acknowledged
that of nil classes of business men the
bankers are generally most thoroughly
informed in regard to the financial con
dition of the pooplo. Tlioro is not now
any political reason for saying that the
detainers of thcso western slates have
borne false witness against them , but wo
propose to keep right on showing that
the west is prospering. The puoplo ot
Nebraska as well as these of Kansas are
in every respect In a bailer condition
today than over before. Lot UH now
have an end of calamity talk and lot
every man defend the good name of tiic
western states that have boon slandered

lI.Visur.Y a day p.ts.sos without news
ot the killing or maiming of some un-
'ortuualo railway employe while
coupling cars. A bill now panding in
congress provides a remedy for this by
naldng the adoption of s.ifoty couplers
of uniform style compulsory upon all
ailroads in the United States. This
flosirablo measure should bo promptly
> assod nt the coming session , and as
President Harrison is strongly in favor
of it and the house Iris already acted
favorably upon it , there is good reason
lo believe that , it will soon become a
aw. The lives and limbs of railroad
employes should be protected BO far as
ognl onactmontti can secure this result.
