Thousands ot Nebraska republicans
tuivc been patiently waiting' for the
promised vindication of Thomas .1. Ma
jors from the grave charges that have
lieeti hanging over his head since the
day of his nomination. These charges
were of such a grave nature that no
man nsplrlng ( o a high of lice could
afford to rest under them. They not
only affected the ofllcial Integrity of the
candldiite for governor , but bis moral
standing as a public man. The oppor
tunity for refuting these charges was
iresented in the proposition embodied In
the letter addressed to the chairman of
the republican committee by the editor
of The Dee , No fairer proposal was ever
myde In any campaign. The woven I'rot-
out a nt clergymen named as referees oc
cupy the front rank In their respective
chinches. They each represent a sepa
rate denomination , and six out of the
seven are pronounced republicans. Hven
the llurllngton Journal , whoso repre
sentative railed upon these ministers ,
oticedi'S that a majm-Hy were biased In
favor of Mr. Majors , and all denied that
my attempt had been made to coach
lirm or prejudice them against Majors.
Such a tribunal would certainly have
i'xoilerated Mr. Majors unless , Indeed.
Hie proofs verts overwhelmingly against
iilm. instead of courting this opportun
ity for vindication .Majors and bis pollt-
cal managers have peremptorily de
fined to have his record investigated.
This Is the most disgraceful backdown
Iii1 : bus ever been known In Nebraska
politics. It IB an open confession that
Ilic charges cannot lie successfully met
ir gainsaid. No rational person can ar
rive at any oilier conclusion , and tliat
will bi ; the verdict of republicans , who
nm been grievously disappointed by
the failure of their standard hutu'cr to
Icar bis record of the foul stain that
ests upon It.

In a government by this people , for
lie people , there must bo an untram-
neletl and free expression of the pop lur
, vill through the medium of the ballot
m\ . In other worcK a republican form
of government can only bi > maintained
where the will of free men is registered
tnd voiced through public agents elected
ly majorities. To destroy or abridge
lie freedom of flections Is to destroy
he republic with Its free Institutions.
\ny attempt to thwart the free choice
if public olllcials Is a menace to repub-
Ican institutions and subversive of tlic
lenrcst rights wjiich American citizen
ship confers.
When railway managers , bankers nnd
leads of establishments tlmt employ
arge numbers of wage workers band
: hemselves together to compel voters
who are dependent upon them for eni-
ilo.vnieitt. or clliKcns who happen to be
u debt to elect any candidate or defeat
uiy candidate , they are guilty of a
reasonable conspiracy. No man or set
if men .should be allowed to dictate to
my free American cltl/.en how he shall
vote on any question or for whom he
( halt vote. If the manager of a corpora-
lion that employs lK ( > 0 wagu'workers
mi coerce these voters to cast their
votes as - he dlctutos , be exercises a
owei' that would disfranchise l.OOO
freemen and make elections by such
irocess a mere ratllicatlon of the edicts
> f one man or corporation. How much
nore dnngcrous Is u combination of
orporate managers and employers who
ontrol in the aggregate ti ( ) , ( ) ( > employes
ind can if they are not resisted abso
lutely dictate the election or defeat of
my candidate by the votes of the coerced
voters.
PhU Is the situation In Omaha and
Nebraska today. II Is an open secret
that a species of terrorism has been
Inaugurated to coerce the debtor class
Into support of Thomas .1. Majors and to
force the mass of wage workers to vote
for Majors by threats of blacklisting
and discharge. Nothing now stands in
the way of the consummation of tills
attempt to wrest the right of self-gov
ernment from the people of Nebraska
except the Australian ballot law. The
great middle class and the workingmen ,
who are the bulwark of free institu
tions In all countries , must again rise
in their might and resist Ilils high
handed attempt to deprive a free choice
of public ollldals. A government by
< * oeived voters would be a travesty on
republican government. It would re
duce the people uf Nebraska to political
vassalage and make her ollleers mere
sutraps doing tlm bidding of a corpor
ate oligarchy.

Every day seems to Increase the
chances of a great republican victory
in New York. The efforts of Senator
Hill to harmonize the democracy are
not bearing much fruit , although he has
called to Ills aid the chairman of the
congressional campaign committee and
itlie.s of influence. Tammany has made
some concessions , but not enough to
satisfy the candidate for governor , yet
It looks as If he will get no more. Mr.
Hill makes earnest appeals In his
speeches for harmony , but they appear
to make very little Impression upon the
element in the party which is antago
nizing him. .Such democrats as ex-Sec
retary l-'nlrchihl in New York City and
Kdward M. Shepard In Brooklyn , the
lenders of the Independent and reform
elements in the party , seem to be I in
movable In their determination to do
what they can to defeat Hill , anil they
have a considerable following. What
the regulars are hoping : for Is a helpful
word from Mr. Cleveland , but there is
no' Indication tlmt ho will give it. The
paper which Is regarded as being more
nearly the personal organ of the presi
dent than , any other In the country , tin1
Philadelphia Ledger , snld in a late issue
that If Mr. Cleveland , by speaking , coultl
prevent the defeat of Hill "lie dare not ,
In respect to good politics , good policy ,
good government , bis own good iinnic
and consistency with Ids honorable record
ord , speak them , nor Is It believed he
will speak them , or that If he should
they would In any material degree af
fect the result. " Of course the Ledger
believes that Hill ought to be defeated
and will be. Meanwhile the senator
Is making as brave a battle as the cir
cumstances will admit of ,
As to Tammany , the prospects appeal
to be very good for n victory over that
political organization if ( he forces com
hlncd against It en it be kept itt lino.
The withdrawal of Straus as the candi
date for mayor nnd the substitution of
ex-Mnyor Grant may have helped the
situation somewhat for Tammany , but
Orant Is being lilt hard for having ap
pointed , when he was nl the head of
the city government , many of the men
who are responsible for much of the
villainous condition revealed before the
Lexow committee. If not himself Itlen-
tllled with tiiese outrages Grant has
iiecn the political creator and associate
of many of the men who practiced them.
Crokor Is the real leader of the Tam
many forces and he Is a resourceful
politician.
The forces tlmt are lighting Tammany
ire thus far harmonious and seem to be
unking si Judicious as well as a vigorous
campaign , while In tlic state at large
the republicans are working hard and
zealously. There Is still time for some
surprises , but as the situation now looks
the prospect tlmt III11 and Tammany
will go to defeat together Is excellent.
It would be a Klgnal victory for decent
Killtlcs audgood * government.

There have been expressions recently
'roiu ' several responsible democrat le
sources regarding silver which are of
uore thiin passing Interest. Senator
Harris of Tennessee , who was the maii-
iger of the tariff bill in the senate anil
who probably lias UK much authority as
my democratic senator to speak for his
tarty In that body , thinks tlic re will not
ie any silver legislation at the next ses
sion of congress. Hi * is of the opinion
hat Mr. Cleveland would veto any bill
to Increase ( lie- supply of silver In the
currency , and therefore that congress
will not waste time preparing- bill
which would certainly encounter a veto.
Speaker Crisp , In a speech at Nashville
> n Thursday , while expressing no opin
ion as to what the present congress may
lo , suld that sooner or later the people
will have free coinage of silver , and : is
Mr , Crisp has been an advocate of free
olnnge nl. the present ratio lie doubtless
xpei'ts that policy will prevail , llepre-
seiifntlve M. U. Ilarter of Ohio lias
alien issue with bis party In that stale
in the silver iiiestlon | , cliaraeterl/.tn-
Mischievous and dangerous the platform
which demands free coinage of silver at
he ratio of 1C lo 1 of gold.
The silver que.stlou lias not figured
rery prominently In the present cam
paign , except In a few states of the
south , probably for the reason thai the
li'inoeratle advocates of free coinage re-
illx.e that there is hardly a possibility of
loinganylh tig for the policy they chum-
ion during the term of the present nd-
iiinistratlon. Like Senator Harris , who
is for free silver coinage , they regard
Mr. Cleveland's veto of the seigniorage
till as dclUiltci assurance that the presl-
leiil will not permit any new legislation
in the interest of silver while he has ( lie
iiower to prevent it. Nevertheless , they
lo not propose tn abandon Hie question.
Democrats like Speaker Crisp Intend to
lo what they can to keep It alive in pop-
tlnr attention. If their party should be
successful in electing the next house of
representatives very likely nothing
would be said or attempted regarding
silver at the coming session , but If the
parly fails the silver question will re-
elve consideration , even though there
ie no prospect of accomplishing iiny-
hlng. Another national political content
is to be fought two years hence , with
linth the executive and the legislative
branches of the government as the
stake , and the free sliver democrats will
iirepiire to make themselves felt at. that
time.
It must not be assumed , therefore , that
because this question Is In abeyance it
lias ceiiseil to be a live Issue. Nor would
It be wist to assume that there IK not
a great deal of popular interest In It.
The Ohio democrats ntllrm that it. Is to
lie the commanding question of the Im
mediate future , and the party In the
south and west Is unquestionably of the
same opinion. Whether free sliver coin
age lias gained or lost lu the number of
its supporters It Is impossible to say
with any degree of certainty , but a fair
estimate of the intelligence and good
Judgment of the American people would
justify the belief that the proposal that
the Tutted States shall alone open its
minis In the sliver of the world at the
ratio of Itt to 1 has not gained sup
porters. The danger of such a policy to
the national credit and the national wel
fare is so obvious that It must be sup
posed the thorough discussion It has re
ceived has changed hundreds of thou
sands to opposition who formerly fa
vored It. Absolute security against tlm
niloptlon of this policy will bu found In
transferring the control of the popular
branch of congress to the republican
party.
FlOllT FOIl THE ATClllbON DIltECTOIll.
The contest now In progress In which
different factions tire struggling for rep
resentation upon the new directory of
tlic bankrupt Atchisou railroad will
hardly add to the prestige of American
railroad management tit home or abroad.
Inlo the Individual merits of the respec
tive claimants and the question whether
the minority is legally entitled to the
right of cumulative voting , which will
insure Its members not less than three
places on the board , are matters which
concern the stockholders rather than the
public. Kit far as the public Is Inter
ested , it would probably fare no differ
ently whichever way the contest should
ho decided , since the management will
doubtless pursue the same jKillcy lu the
operation of the road with the directors
tu ! > candidates of one faction only or
with a small representation of the mi
nority among their number.
What then Is the. basis of the present
contention ? What advantage Is to ae.
crue to the men who control the direc
tory of a bankrupt railroad ? How are
the directors to wield any power when
the entire conduct : of the road has been
given over to receivers appointed by and
responsible to tlic federal courts ? What
Is at stake Is not the management of the
railroad , but the management of ( lie ne
gotiations looking toward Its financial
reorganization. The duly elected ill rectors
tors will be nt all times consulted and
will have an Innuctitla ! voice In framing
plans for rescuing the road from In
solvency. They will be the olllclul rop-
rcsentatlves of the stockholders nnd will
be. expected to protect their Interests
and tu see that their holdings are nut
sacriflcd to § j' > * sof the bondholders and
other ereilltorJCIn addition to thin they
will be on the Inside In nil the deals mid
will have Ilrst Information as to the
prospect of ( he adoption oC one plan of
reorganization or another advantages
of considerable value to slock Jobbers
and Wall stfoVl"nmnlptilators. although
if minor hcaruij npon practical railroad
operations. Tlio din-dors nnd oilier se
curity holders will be anxious to have
the ralhwid set once more on Its feet
without Impairing the capital upon
which liiteretl Is paid jmy more than Is
absolutely necessary , while- the patrons
: if the road , unrepresented , will lie coin-
Celled lo continue to pay charges upon
mlllioiiK oC watered slock and discount
bonds for which there never was an
qulvalcnt in the actual Invest men t In
the property.
Hucli a controversy could scarcely
Ne In regard 1o a railroad over a year
in the hands of receivers were It not for
our peculiar way of dealing with bank
rupt railroads. The receivers , appointed
ostensibly to guard the Interests of the
creditors until such time as the assets
may be realised upon , simply continue
the policy of the previous management
under which the property was wrecked
mil 11 the Mime wreckers perfect a new
scheme lo enable them to get control
again. Having despoiled tin * bond
holders , they begin again to despoil the
public dependent upon their line for
transportation. How can we have hon
est railroad management built upon dis
honest railroad capitalization ? If It
were the policy of the receivers to force
the bankrupt railroad to foreclosure and
ale and to hand It over to * the pur-
hasers to be conducted on the busts of
the price iicluully paid for It the con
trol of the directory pending bankruptcy
would not IH * worth lighting for.
Some people are trying to explain the
small registration of women lu Chicago
mil the slight Interest which they have
taken In the political prospects of the
wiiiuau candidates for olllce on the
school ticket on llie score of fear of
Itelng photographed by the hidden
kodaks used for the purpose of identify
ing voters. We cannot conceive how
it'll mi exp'ana ion < an receive any gen
eral acceptance. The woman who is
inxloim to vote is not the woman who is
ifrald of being photographed. On ( he
contrary , the photograph feature ought
to prove a powerful agent in bringing
nut the women voters , who are thus fa
vored with an opportunity to cast a bal
lot and to lie iihotographcd free of
charge at the sa/iie / time. There must
lie other reasons keeping the women at

BROKEN' UO\V. Oct. 24. To tlie Editor of

private notlceBjwerc sent out by corporation
hlrellncs to Individuals to got It well adver

M. Thurston and * nest of the republican
Rtato nominee ? , who spoke ; 1iere , and some
tew people froui the ncluhborlni ; towns.
.The. , profession about three-fourths of n
mtlo IOIIR. ' .iThfcrC ; were .About us many Hol-

Hon. J. M. Tlmrhton spoke to a fair-sized
audience In the public square , [ n tlio eveu-
the state nominees t > puke. Han. T. J.
Majors appeared. Ilo made a poor impres
sion on me and t noticed that he made sev
eral Krammatlcal blunders , lie looks some
what like n Kainbler.
I never read anything In The I3ee against
any of the i.omlnecs but Majors and I was
greatly surprised to hear when some ot them
came out with "Th potty spite of one little
man. "
The credit ot the state was also discussed.
Tlioinus J. Majors urged the people to give
their hearty support to the whole ticket.
I notice once In a while that some of the
republican nominees ask assistance of The
Deo. and when they get It then they are
ready to boom Majors and fight The Itee ,
I know whercot I speak.
The beat element teems to be with The Dee
and appreciates its work , while the other
element barka and throws mud.1 Go on with
your noble work.
I have a number lot times read In The Dec
quite a puff for , Mr. M. A. Dougherty ami
nothing but insult , "for Mr. Kern. Why
should ttiat be thua ? I suppose Mr. DaiiRh-
tirtv writes his own recommendations and
thru semis them to' The lice through some
one , or even lilmselfj and of course The tlea
prints them. The corporations are back of
Mr. Daugherly and the common people back
of Mr. Kern.
Let's have fair play.

Franco can hope for no aid from llussla In nny
attack upon Germany , and there will be no
danger 'ot war upon the triple alliance a
long as French diplomats can avoid lionMH-
tles. As far ns the policy ol the future
sovereign of llussla can be foreseen It will
be directed lu the- Hue of Internal Improve
ment rather than foreign conquests or war
for war's sake. There Is reason to believe
that the younp prince who will teen bo the
m'onarch ot the only great power of Kuropo
In which the sovereign Is still the chief part
of the state and the dominant force of the
government , has worthy nnil peaceable ambi
tions for his country. He Is known to admire
the ways and people of some of the most nd-
vanced powers ot the world , nnd he will be
inoro likely to strive to lift llussla up to the
level of Germany and England In tlic arts
and industries of iience than to court the
destructive and doubtful ordeal of a great
war. Nothing1 that has ever been made pub
lic regarding the prospective emperor of HUB *
ala Indicates that he Is n fire-brand by na
ture. The nervousness of the exchanges of
Kuropo over the Impending change on ttie
Russian throne has Its only excuse In the
chronic dangers of the trrmemlouK armament
of tlif- great powers of that soldier-burdened
contlnwit.

The fact that many dispatches concerning
the condition of the czar and the councils of
the doctors at Llvadla arc sent from St.
Petersburg Is misleading to readers who sup
pose that the two places are not far apart ,
or that Llvadla Is the name of the Imperial
residence In the Husslan capital. On the
contrary , Llvadla Is about 1,000 miles Botilli
of St. Petersburg , and Is on the south sliore
of the Crimea. In climate , vegetable prod
ucts and Industries that region resembles
Itnly more than It does the. oilier part of
Russia. The peninsula of the Crimea Is so
projected Into the Hlack sea , nnil Its southern
sliore is so protected from the cold winds
that sweep the low and level plain which
constitutes the northern portion of the coun
try that the fig nd pomegranate flourish
there , and It Is a region of vineyards and
pleasure and health resorts , like the French
and Italian Ilivlera. On the finest part of
tills most genial coast which the vast Hus
slan empire boasts Is situated the 'famous
Imperial ami aristocratic watering palace ,
known as Llvadla. and It Is there that the
czar Is passing the last days of his life. The
reason that the dispatches which tell all
that Is permitted lo be made public concern
ing the royal sufferer at Llvadla are sent
from St. Petersburg Is that the Husslan cen
sorship ot the press Is especially strict In
times like the present , and news , for foreign
lands must come almost wholly through the
capital. The Imperial palace at Llvadla Is
so surrounded by cordons of troops that It
Is Impossible for news from the emperor's
sick room to reach the outside world except
through authorized or very indirect chan
nels.

Religious liberty lias been granted In Hun
gary by both houses of Parliament to the
extent that five leadings religious bodies are
iccognlzed by the government , and citizens
are given the right to belong to which of
them they choose. These five are Roman
Catholics , old Catholics. Greek church , Ar
menians , Unitarians , Lutherans , the ad
herents to the Augsburg and Helvetian con
fessions , and Jews. The doctrinal and moral
teachings of these bodies have been approved
by thq uovernmcot , and they are each and
nil under the protection of the stale. 'Prac
tically the religious liberty ot the Hungarian
Is greater than appears from this descrip
tion. He may belong to any denomination ho
pleases , whether U be recognized by the
government or not. and It Is said to be easy
to obtain government sanction for any body
whoso tenets arc neither Immoral nor Il
legal , It Is necessary lo got permission to
hold public worship , but this is usually ob
tained without dllucully. The only danger
Is that , as has often happened , the Roman
Catholic influence may be strong enough
locally to cause a denial of tills permission
to hold Protestant worship by other than the
permitted dfmomlnations. It Is this danger
and the desire to break the hold of the
Hainan Catholic * on the civil power which
has been the motive of the attempt to abolish
ish all restrictions upon worship. A bill to
this effect passed the lower house by a large
majority nnd was beaten by the nobles , but
In spite of this defeat religious liberty Is
practically assured In Hunt'ary.

The successes of the socialists In Germany
seem to be due quite as much ti > the supine-
ness of their opponents as to their own per
sistent energy. An Illustration of this maybe
bo found In the recent elections for the
courts of Industry In Berlin. The socialists ,
as usual , had made great exertions , but the
parties of order had scarcely moved a finger.
Tlie workmen nominated by the social demo
crats , one and all. were elected , and they
also succeeded In securing In six cases the
election of the employers whose candidature
they supported. Out of these six seals only
two hitherto had been In the hands of the
socialists. This might be thought an Isolated
case , and one scarcely to be avoided In a
town which , like Hcrlin , Is saturated with
scclal democracy , but similar reports of vic
tories at the elections for the Industrial
courts come from Krfurt , Gera , and Mul-
hausen , In Thurlngen. At Erfurt the social
ists secured the election of seven out of thir
teen employers , and , its In Hcrlln. of all their
workmen candidates. It Is true that in the

MEDICAL
DISCOVERY
Many years ago Dr. R , V. Pierce , chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute , Buffalo , N. V. , compounded -
pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi
ents which had nn especial effect upon the
stomach and liver , rousing tlic organs to
healthful activity as well as purifying anil
enriching the blood. By such means the
stomach and the nerves are supplied with
pnre blood ; they will not do duty without it
any more than a locomotive cnn run with
out coal. Yon can not get a la-sting cure of
Dyspepsia , or Indigestion , by taking arti
ficially digested foods or pepsin the stomach
ach must do its own work in its own way.
Do not put your nerves to sleep with so-
called celery mixtures , it is better to go to
the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve
cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia ,
Indigestion , Biliousness and Nervous Af
fections , Hitch as sleeplessness and weak ,
nervous feelings ate completely turrit by
the " Discovery. " It puts on healthy flesh ,
brings refreshing- sleep and invigorates the

tltico Init year from 3,000 to G.SOO , but this
la largely due lo the registration of n nuni-
Ijcr of small tinploycmvlo voted In tlio so
cialist Interest. Tlio carelessness of the em
ployer * In general will be appreciated when

India 1ms been densely populated for thotl-
rands of years , and at this time It contains
very nearly 300,000,000 Inhabitants. Yet
largo regions of the country are haunted by
rnvcnotts beasts nml by poisonous reptiles
which destroy hmnnii life. We learn from n
recently printed llritlsh blue book upon In
dian affairs that In the year before last ,
as ninny of 22,000 people wore klllod there by
snakes and wild beasts , clEhtrcn-twcntlcths
of them , or over ly.OOO. by snake bites , and
over 1,200 by tigers and leopards. Those
ferocious rncmlvs of mankind are not loss
tlic enemies of tHtno cattle , t.7,000 of which
were destroyed by them and 4COO poisoned.
The terrible destruction of human beings nnd
domesticated animals In India Is largely due
to the Hindoo doctrine of the wroncfulness
of killing any living thins , on account of
the danger to souls In the course of trans
migration. A pious Hindoo would rather be
poisoned by n snake or eaten by n tiger
than kill either of them. The British-Indian
authorities have long striven to reduce the
number of hostile reptiles and beasts , but the
figures given In the blue book "hero spoken of
nro nqt evidence of their success down to
this time.

The stir that was made by the report of
the death of the innoer of Afghanistan shows
what o tension there Is In the politics of
eastern Asia. The tension. Indeed , IH chronic
and becomes acute whenever any change Is
threatened In the government of the "buffer
Btnto" between nrltlsh ami Kusslnn posses
sions. The ruler of the state , If he liven up
to his privilege * , can extract many valuable
concessions from his powerful neighbors.
The British Impression seems to ho that
llritlsh Interests are not ns likely to be taken
care of by the successor of the ameer ns
they have been by the anioor himself. This
belief accounts for the minor whether tlio
rumor bo true or not of the advance of
British troops lu the direction of the Khyber
pass. It Is certain that Great Britain cannot
afford to relax her vigilance upon tlio north
ern frontier of India.
