It Is not what he has , but what he hopes to have. Euclid Martin and Ids company of pie- biters announce tholr Intention of voting the rump ticket just to show how strong their faction Is In Nebraska. Euclid Booms to forget that tlio vote on the rump ticket will at tbe same time dis close how few democrats of his variety there are. The death of the Kusslnn czar will give the people of tin- whole world an other illustration of the close connection between the different roynl families of Hurope.

The bond that uncoil * Bclously unites monarchical rulers Is never so strong us when one of the Broup passes away. The suggestion made In The Bee a few duys ago that the business men of Omuho. do something to secure for this city the advantages of the new fast mall train on the Northwestern railroad has not yet been acted upon. This train might BUVO several hours In the time between Chicago mid Omaha , but It comes no nearer this city than Missouri Valley. The mall which. It carries Is taken past Omaha , by way of Fremont to Lincoln ami then back to this city. There Is no reason whatever why the cltlc.i of Fremont and Lincoln should enjoy better mall facilities than Omaha. The Burlington in particular , which has the United States inull contract , ought to bo compelled to supply a service west of Chicago equal to the best. If the business men of this city should move simultaneously upon the Burlington management nnd upon the postoftlcc authorities they might secure the de sired accommodations. This discrimina tion against Omaha ought not to be tolerated u moment longer than la ibsolutdy ueeeasarjr. nnnttAKA.'s Victor Hugo tells us In his fntnotm volume , "Tho History of n Grime , " that the election of Louis Napoleon to the presidency of the French republic wax the first step toward the erection of Im- perlnltsni upon KB ruins. What was- .rue ivlntlng to the destruction of popu- ar self-government In France applies , with equal force to nil countries that permit despotism in any form under whatever pretext to usurp the right of : hc people lo govern themselves. In the struggle between the people of. Nebraska and the confederated corpora tions history only repent * Itself. Up to this time ntir loferrnco to the Nebraska c ar and the rntltond despotism Las been. regarded by many well-meaning people nnd many patriotic citizens as nn orer- Irawn assumption of a state of affairs that does nut ivnlly exist. This class of leople will doubtless be surprised tf not startled by the open admission on the jnrt of the Majors campaign me lingers luit railroad domination Is not only egltlnmto , but essential to the well-be- ng of the state and Its people. The mouthpiece of Mr. Majors makes , bold to assert In n paid editorial that ippenrs in Tliursday's World-Herald that Mr. Iloldrege is fully Justified. In exercising dictatorial powers over the peopleof Nebraska. The exact Ian- 'tingo used Is that every honest man In Nebraska nn-ognlxes the right of Mr. Iloldrege to defend the property which Is put hi Ids charge against whatever evil forces would destroy its value , We ire further told that 30.000 people of moderate means In New Kngliind own the Hurltngton railroad in this state. If Mr. Iloldrege would stand Idly by and see these 30,000 eastern stockholders injured In the value of their property without any good to Nebraska every manly man In the state would despise ilm for such a course. So Nebraska must have a lord pro tector to Keep her from exercising her sovereign right to self-government ! The people must abdicate their right to choose their own rulers and representa tives to Mr. Iloldrege In the Interest of the IIO.OOO stockholders of moderntc means In New Kiigland and the half a doxen inultl-milllonalros who have unasscd colossal wealth from the tribute they have levied upon the people of Uiis state. No reasonable man will deny that Mr. Iloldrege has a right lo protect the Interests of the Hurlingou ) railroad : tml Its stockholders by all legitimate means at his command. Hut what right lias he to constitute- himself lord pro tector and despot of Nebraska ? What right has he to debauch our voters by the corrupting Inlluenco of 0,000 annual rail road passes ; hi * the use of lawless re bates ; by the lawless combinations with other corporations that seek to terror ise the people by threats of a with drawal of credits ? What right bus In to hold the. club of discharge over the heads of wage workers who have as much right to east a free and untr.un- melcd ballot as he has himself ? Could any monarch In Kiiropp go much further In suppressing Individual free dom and dominating by main force ? Why does not the lord protector ot the Ittirllngton proclaim himself czar of Ne braska , Wyoming and Montana , just as Francis .Tosepli of Austria is king of Hungary ami Bohemia and duluof Dnlmtilin ? Why not convert Nebraska into an absolute monarchy instead of a free state in an elective republic ? What is the use of going through the furce of ratifying the choice of candi dates named by the lord protector at Hurllngton headquarters ? If the pro tectorate is to be permanent would it not be well for the lord protector to per mit us to choose a governor who is not tattooed from head to hole and can at least enjoy the respect of the lord pro tector's subjects ? TWO SKNSIHM : DKCISIOXS. The decisions just rendered by Judge Ferguson on the otllclal ballot cases take the only noniiartlsan , sensible , broadminded - minded view of the election law nnd will meet the approval of all classes who can rise above party prejudice. As wo have iterated and reiterated the pur pose of the legislature In the enactment of the Australian ballot law was to assist the voter and not to confuse him. It aimed to throw around the exercise of the franchise every possible safeguard of secrecy and Independence and at the same time to make tlio process so plain that every one could register his exact preferences expedltiously nnd without dltJicully. To gain what to them appears to be some slight temporary party advantage the republican man agers have Induced republican state nnd county ottkials to abuse their authority and to attempt to misinterpret the. pro visions of the law for the deception or inconvenience of the voter. Two points are cleared up by Judge. Ferguson's decisions. The first Is that of party designations. The court holds that these designations must be such as Indicate the true character of the candidate after whose name they are placed. Certain legislative nominees of the people's Independent party conven tion In this county withdrew from the contest only to llnd that other names were Immediately certified by petition as people's Independent candidates for the places which they had vacated. The object of this was to make. It ap pear that the full ticket of that parly convention was still In the. Held. An ap plication for an order compelling tins county clerk to add the words "by peti tion" to the designation in order to show the character of these fandidnte.s was granted. Any other course , sayH the judge , would be fraud , because It would enable petition candidates to appear ns regular party can- daten when In fact they were not such candidates. It would also enable ambitious aspirnnta for oillce to anticipate this convention by tiling petitions In advance and limn stealing the party designation. The other point decided relnles to the form of the otllclal ballot. The copy sent out by the secretary of state- string * out In one line all the. designations of candidates who have lecelved nomina tions of more than outs party. The designation after the name of Judge llolcomb therefore read "democrat- people's Independent. " This the court held IB a Hlmluir attempt at fraud , and can have no other effect than to de ceive and confuse the voter. There Is no such party as democrat-people's Inde- pendent , but there arc two parties , the democratic and the people's Independ ent Hitch oC these Is entitled to hare Its candidate appear on the ticket and the only wny lo accomplish this Is to have the designations printed after the candidates' names on separate lines. The soundness and logic of these de cisions cannot but nppeal to every fair- minded person and will be admitted even by the most Intense partisans so soon as they emerge Iroui the excite ment of the campaign. O.V/.V A VR\rDOU.Ali \ ( > MOltK. Everybody that tit tended the republi can state convention held In this city on the -1M day of. August will remember the dramatic disclaimer of Thomas J. Majors of the charge that connects him with the Taylor Incident and tlie Issue of a fraudulent certificate vouching for Taylor's services to the end of tlie ses sion of the legislature of IS'.U. In the presence of 1,000 delegates and more than 2,000 spectators Majors raised Ills hand to heaven and called God to wit ness that he knew nothing about the plot to abduct Taylor , and boldly as serted that Taylor was entitled to full pay to the end of I ho session , as he had served trlxty-thtee days exclusive of Sun days and recesses. These brazen false hoods have been reiterated from the slump In almost every town and village of the state. A more Impudent piece of Imposture never had been attempted by any man seeking the suffrages of nn in telligent people. Majors' assertions re garding the Taylor voucher are dis proved by testimony that cannot be con troverted , namely the Journal of the state senate of JS01 , which shows that Taylor disappeared on the morning of the llfty-thlrd day of the session , nnd after that day his name does not appear In the journal either on the roll call or on any recorded vote. And now at tlds Inte day , after per- blstently denying that Majors had certi- lled to the fraudulent voucher , of which a fac simile appears hi tills Issue , the U. & M. .Journal attempts to palliate this Impeachable offense by pointing to the fact that the fraudulent Taylor voucher AVILS only a few dollars over and above the amount actually due to Tay lor. Only a few dollars , to be sure ! Only $7. > , but every dollar of that sum was fraudulently taken out of the state treasury by reason of the cei'tlllcate signed l y MaiciB ret > ' ( sentliig that Tay lor had served lo ( he end of the ses sion. sion.Only Only a few dollars , tti be sure. But It is an open confession that tinelutrge is true in substance and nn admission that Majors deliberately deceived the repub lican state convention and used the name of the Almighty to ntlirin testi mony he knew to be false. Only a few dollars , Indeed , but the man who would , filch a few dollars ftom the .state treasury nnd put It Into the pocket of nn oil room boodler Is not the man the people of Nebraska can trust with the position of chief execu tive. It was only a few dollars that Majors overcharged In collecting mileage as lieutenant governor for 18'JL and 18X ! ) but the act was so much more repre- , henslble because It was only a few del lars. A man who would run up 2SS miles at 10 cents a mile for a distance of 14i ( miles actually traveled on an annual pass is not tlie kind of n. man Nebraska or any other state should ele vate to the highest position within the gift of her people. WII.T. M-atctuiH Tin : KND. The country will heartily welcome the conclusion of the pending campaign. Not , perhaps , because it has made any greater strain upon the business inter ests than Is usual with general cam paigns Involving a change in the politi cal complexion of a branch of the federal - oral government , but for the reason that they are anslous to go forward with the work of readjustment upon whatever lines the result of next Tuesday's elec tions Hlmll determine. The matter of paramount Importance. Is tlie political complexion of the next house of representatives. This is due to tlie fact that the democratic leaders have declared tholr purpose to continue their policy of tearing down the protec tion defenses to American Industries and labor. There can bo no rea sonable' ' doubt that the' Industrial and business conditions would be very much better than they are but for this declaration , yet every democrat with authority to speak for the party has made It repeatedly. If the people on next Tuesday approve this policy by eTcctJng a majority of demo crats to the popular branch of the Fifty- fourth congress there can be no doubt that what the leaders have promised will be carried out. On the other hand , the election of a republican house would be such a protest against democratic policy that the party in power would hardly venture to disregard It. Even If the more radical of its leaders should Insist upon going on with the assault Mxm protection , which they will proba bly do In any event , the conservative men in the party would hardly support them In the face of a strong popular repudiation of their purpose. So far as tlie present congress is concerned , there. Is little danger of It doing any mine tarltf mischief. It will be In session loss than three months and the republican minority in the senate will have little dllllculty In preventing the enactment of any legislation relating to the tariff which it does not favor. The danger Is from the next congress in the event of the democrats retaining coat rat. Tlio election of a republican house of representatives next Tuesday will bo followed , there is every reason to be lieve , by a marked Improvement In In- 4lustrlal and business activity. In creating a sense of security against fur ther tariff tinkering Itouhl ; give nn Im pulse to the mtirkots In almost every line of enterprise. The prerequisite tea a restoration of prosperity in confidence , and the only way to obtain that Is by dislodging from ( lie iwwer to do further harm the party whose policy Is responsi ble for distrust nnd depression , To con tinue that party In control of congress would obviously Invite a continuance of the unfortunate conditions from which the country hun suffered during the lust eighteen months. It Is hut n few ( lays until the business Interests of the conn- try will know what this immediate future Is to be whether a period du- roled to Hip-tearing down of nil the de fenses of protection or one of peace nnd rest from taVirf ngltntlon. The signs are most favoruyUj iat the popular demand will be for the lulter condition. T ) < ' ; ; ID KMt'KllOlt. Alexander * JIDbore his great Buffer ing , which glided only with his death , with remnrkjijp ] ) , patience nnd fortitude. Throughout , hl , , Illness he manifested a nnlrlt of GhrUtlnu resignation which will bo recoriled to his credit In the pages of hlsloryiMnuly courage In the hard ordeal 'wa to have been expected of him , for h'o , was a soldier who had faced death on the Held of battle. Pro found religious faith nud devotion , how ever , was n revelation of character that might not have been looked for from u ruler who during his reign permitted cruelties and persecutions not consistent with such n spirit. Tim dead emperor will not figure hi history ns a great man , measured by the standard of some of his ancestors , yet ho was not without excellent qualities. A contemporary historian says of him that he was "at all times the sworn enemy of abuses and of corrupt men profoundly honest himself and unnblo to tolerate dishonesty about him Im pervious to the feminine blandishments to which his father so easily succumbed combining , unlike the latter , the vir tues of the private man with the sever eign's noble aspirations incapable of any weakness or low compromise with conscience for the benefit of favorites of cither sex scrupulously thrifty in the use of the public wealth , and tilled with the sense of the sacredness of his mission. " This is unquestionably some what exaggerated praise , but yet not en tirely unwarranted. He was faithful In Ills domestic obligations and evidence of his thrift is not wanting. The great est tiling , however , to be said lo bis credit is that his great power and In fluence were always exerted on the sldo of peace , and perhaps no sovereign did so much as he to prevent u great European war. Were It not for the cruel proscriptions nnd persecutions that marked his reign his name would llvo In history as in some respects a model ruler for one exercising autocratic power. What tlio political effects upon Russia nnd the relations of that country to the rest of Europe may be only time can disclose. The successor to the throne , tirnnd Dulio Nicholas , is only 2G yonrs old. and report does not speak highly of Ills qualifications for the great task ho will at once-assume. lie does not In herit the physical proportions of his father and Ue has not shown any ex- ceptionnl intellectual qualities. Still ho may prove I < MKJTI wise and progressive ruler. One tiling seems assured he Is ns strongly In favor of conserving the peace of Eurjbpp 'ns was his father , and his relations , to , the roynl house * of Englnnd nnd Gorjmany arc such that his feeling In this respect is not likely to undergo any change , but rather to be strengthened. Thnt he is to be sub jected to the same danger that con stantly mcnacetlf his 'father appears probable from-tlie report already sent out thatn coilRpirncy-r.gninst the life of tlie czdrewitcfi lias b'uen Vllscovcred. The opportunity invites the nihilists to nctlv- Ity , but so thorough is the spy nnd police system of the llusslnn govern ment , which ramifies every channel of society , that there Is really hardly n. possibility of the success of n conspir acy against the heir to tlie throne. The American people , while having no sympathy with the political system of liusMa , will sympathize with the Kus- siitu people In the loss of n sovereign who nlways manifested a most friendly interest in the United Slates. Henry H. Corbctt , the republican can didate for superintendent of public In struction , has a recent and Intimate acquaintance with the work of the public schools In Nebraska to commend him to the voters as n man entirely qualified for the oftlce. to which he as pires. He was , up to tlie time of his nomination by the republican state con vention , city superintendent of schools at York. Ho had worked his way up to that position through fourteen years of thorough experience as a school teacher In Nebraska village and town schools and an principal of various village schools In the state. Ills high standing in educational circles Is best proven by the fact that luIs now president of the Nebraska state association of school superintendents and teachers. In few Instances has any candidate for .superin tendent of public instruction boon us well qualified ns Mr. Corbctt for per forming the duties of that office. The men who arc actively engaged In promoting the proposed canal repudiate the statements made by one or two of the stockholders that It will not bo worth while to vote the canal bonds unless Majors Is elected governor , so .IH to enable the bonds to be floated. It Is simply ridiculous to claim that tlio elec tion of an houcst man to conduct the administration , of the state will hamper in the least degree the negotiation of securities backed-by the credit of the richest community-m the state.

They arc confronted at every crossroad with the story of the forged census returns that scandalized the state at the national capital and placed a stigma upon the man whom the people ot this common wealth had honored with a place In the halls of congress as their representative. During two sessions of the legislature in which he occupied the responsible and hon orable position of presiding ofllccr of the upper house by virtue of his election as lieu tenant governor , Jlr. Majors was notoriously a tool and capper for the corporation lobby , and exerted all his power and Influence dur ing ench session of the legislature to pro mote jobbery and assist boodle schemes nnd obstruct , sidetrack and defeal all railway regulation bills and measures lo curb the rapacity of corporate monopoly. SCANIMUZED THE STATE. During the session of 1891 the- state was scandalized by the nbductlon of Senator Taylor , a populist , who had been elected on the anti-monopoly platform , which pledged him to support a maximum rate law. It Is notorious that Taylor was on confidential terms with Lieutenant Governor Majors , and especially with his private secretary , Walt M. Sccly. Thera Is no doubt whatever that Majors and Scely must have known of the plot lo abduct Taylor In order to keep him from casting his vote for the Newberry maximum rate bill. Taylor's ' abduction created such a sensation that even If Majors had not been advised about the plot he could not have been Ignorant of the fact that Taylor had disap peared. The fact that Majors directed the sergeant-at-arms to liave Taylor arrested shows absolute knowledge on the part of Majors of the disappearance of Taylor. The records of the auditor's olllce show that Taylor had drawn $262.40 as his pay and mileage for the session up to the time of his abrupt departure In the middle of March. On March 31when the session closed , the following bill , certified to by T. J. Majors as president of the senate , was placed In the hands of the auditor and a warrant The above Is a fac slmllo of the csrtlllcalo signed by Lieutenant Governor Majors and approved by the auditor , as now on fllo In the olllco of the auditor of state. Ttio warrant for $75 was cashed hy Walt M. Sccly , private secretary of the lieutenant governor , nnd pocketed by him. Taylor never received n penny of this money fraudu lently procured by tlio connivance ot the lieutenant governor. This act alone stamps Thomas J. Majors ai a dangerous man In any public olllce. When he certified that Taylor had served through the cntlro term ho knowingly nnd wittingly committed a grave crime that laid him llabla not only to Impeachment , but to prosecution In tlie criminal courts. Had Majors certified to a fraudulent voucher In the army , or duplicated his own pay In the army pay roll , hewould have been court martlaU'd and cashiered In dis grace. Where the ofTonse waJi aa flagrant as the Taylor voucher Iraud ho would ha.vo been madeto serve a sentence in a military prison. Is this the kind of a man the re publicans of Nebratka ore nslied to tnako chief executive of state and commandor-ln- chlef of the military forces of the common wealth ! THE SENATI ! OIL HOOM. The climax of Infamy on the part of the lieutenant governor was the conversion ot his private olDce adjoining the senate cham ber Into a legislative oil room. In which liquor was dispensed freely to members ot Uio senate who vscro addicted to drink , and to lobbyists , male and female , who resorted to the room for debauching the law makers. Every fel'ow who belonged to the gang carried a Ynlo lock key In his pocket so as to have access at all times , night or day , when the scnato was la session , or at recess , to the demijohns and decanters filled1 with choice brands of liquor , with which the lieu tenant governor's room was generously sup plied regardless of expense by the corporate concerns whoso bills tvero to be logrolled through and whoso interests were to bo pro tected by the bland , affable and accommodat ing lieutenant governor.
