Another month of leap year Irrecover
ably gone !
Why shouldn't the paper that defends
riubew.lcr.s and defaulters slant ! up for
forgery ?
If you keep pasting all those wise
saws hi your hat yon will have no space
for your head.
The Li Hung Chang slyle of dress
may become nil American fad. but the
Li Hung style of whiskers never.
"Remember that the Ak-Sar-Hcn
parades of 1SIM ! will be totally different
from the Ak-Sar-15en parades of 1805.
Of what advantage Is It to have n
Nebraska presidential nominee , If he Is
to spend the whole campaign skylarkIng -
Ing about the country ?
The Marquis Yamagata will have rea
son to feel that he was not accorded the
same ceremonious reception that lias
been given Ll llnng Chang.
The local merchant who fails to bring
his wares to the attention of State fair
visitors by judicious newspaper adver
tising cannot expect to keep tip with
the procession.
It Is to bo hoped that the condemna
tion proceedings against tlie Omaha
Union depot may not come to ex
tremities before the next great Bryan
reception In that structure.
Ex-Congressman Champ Clark is goIng -
Ing oil tlie stump for Dryan and free
silver In Illinois. I3ryan once wrote
Homo complimentary things about
Champ , and Champ Insists on making
the score even.
It must bu dangerous for Hryan to
travel In a trolley ear. The boy orator
has gotten Into the habit of .slipping
his trolley on every possible occasion
and it is to bo feared that he will be
kept busy trying to get It back where
it belongs.
Senator Tc'ttlgrew Is to speak for
Bryan in Illinois. Senator 1'ottigrew
ought to tell his auditors what Bryan
printed about him In his paper shortly
before the St. Louis convention. His
auditors would then think no more of
him than does Bryan.
Bryan says It Is a man's duty to bolt
When he llnds himself at variance with
the stand taken on any Important Issue
In Ills party platform. Yet ho Is also
trying to persuade sound money demo
crats to overlook the free silver part of
his program , Consistency never wan
ono of Bryan's Jewels.
Mr , Bryan repeatedly asserts that
ho wants a dollar that Is easy to get.
Any man can get two Mexican dollars
for ono American dollar , The Mexican
dollar Is therefore Just twice as cany
to get us the American dollar , But how
many American worklngmen want to
have their wages paid In Mexican dollars
lars ?
If tliu bank clearings are an Index of
business conditions the depression has ,
If anything , becoino more marked dur
ing Iho week just closed than at any

that have registered an Increase.
l''our ' of Nebraska's republican con
gressmen are before the people for re
election. If everybody who voted for
them two years ago votes for them
again , thcro will bu no question of their
continuance In congress. And there Is
no reason why any ono -who voted for n
republican candidate for congresu two
years ago should not vote for the repub
lican candidate this year.
ur run
I'or persistent mendacity nnd tlcflau
defense of forgery , commend us to tin
Omaha World-Herald. Detected am
exposed In Its campaign falsehood by r
letter from the editor of the Londoi
Financial News , explicitly denying thai
the article printed hi Mr. Bryan's papei
and credited to The Klnanelal New , '
over appeared In that paper , It seeks tr
shield Itself by Impugning the genuine
ness of the editor's signature.
The facts In the case of the World
Herald forgery are simple nnd hulls'
pntablo. That sheet kept standing al
the head of HH editorial columns for
weeks , both during Mr. Bryan's editor
ship and since his retirement from con
trol , nn article said to have been taken
from the London Financial News , Idl
ing of the advantages fiee silver would
bring the United States and the losses
It would inillct upon England. on
August 10 , cable advices were received
from London to the effect that The
Financial XCWM denied having printed
any such article. Notwithstanding this
denial , the World-Herald , In Its Issue of
August -M , persisted In Its falsehood as
follows :
It might n good Idea to paste In your
hat the fact that the London Financial News
has never denied and cannot successfully
deny the article first printed In this news
paper February J , and which has appeared
In these columns under the heading : "Paste
This In Your Hat. " It Is n story which
shows that free coinage would help America ,
but would prove disastrous to Great Britain.
On August l0 ! , The Bee pt luted a fac
simile of a letler received by Mr. A. C.
1'latt of Lincoln , from the editor of The
Financial News , returning to him the
clipping from the World-Herald , and
saying "that no such article ever ap
peared in The Financial News. " Yet
the World-Herald of August . ' ! ( ) again
persists In the forgery by Insinuating
that no responsible attache of the paper
alllxed the signature to the "alleged
denial. "
But Mr. I'latt was not the only one
who sought to have tlie World-Herald
forgery verilled or disclaimed. The ed
itor of The Bee sent the cutting from
the Bryan organ to Mr. Walter Xeef.
London representative of the Associated
press , with a request tltat he ascer
tain Its genuineness. After calling upon
tlie editor of The Financial News , Mr.
Xeef icturnud the cutting with a letter ,
In which hu says :
The editor ot The Financial News says the
article in question never appeared In their
columns in any form whatever , and Its sen
timents are totally foreign to the beliefs ot
The Financial News. He also drew my at
tention to the enclosed editorial note , \vhlch
appeared In his paper of the 13th.
The enclosed editorial mile from The
Financial News , of August 111 , reads as
follows :
We have received numerous letters fiom
American correspondents containing what
purports to bo editorials from The Financial
News and which have been reprinted In
various western papers as "campaign litera
ture. " One Omaha paper prints an article
stating it is "from the London Financial
News of March 10. " No such article was
ever printed by us and Its whole tenor is
directly opposed to the view we have taken
of the effect of tree sliver In the lnltcd
States. So far from advocating free silver
coinage wo have persistently pointed out
that it spells repudiation and the withdrawal
of all European capital.
All of these documents are In the pos
session of the editor of The Bee , and
may be seen by any one wild wishes to
satisfy himself that they are precisely
as represented. But , as wo have said
before , it Is hardly to be expected that
the "World-Herald and other lying sil
ver papers will cease their campaign
of forgery and fabrication.
TMHUT MKANS 1'AKIC.
General Harrison In his New York
speech said , in reference to the effects
of the free coinage of silver : "Kvory-
thing would have to be readjusted tin
prices of everything , the whole Intri
cate business adjustments of the conn-
try would have to be readjusted and
while that process is going on uncer
tainty would characterize business , re
sulting in panic and disaster. " Til-.1
average man , who knows very little
about tlie operation of llnancial and
commercial laws , may not be able to
understand why this should be so. Un
doubtedly all such imagine that the
transition from a gold standard to a
silver Htandard would be accomplished
without the slightest disturbance , thai
It would be as simple a matter as thai
of tr.insferrlng political control of the
government from one party to another.
But eveiy intelligent business man.
every man of practical affairs , knows
that the work of readjustment could
not proeeeil without producing more or
less disorder llnanclally and commer
cially and since no one could foros-eo
how great , how prolonged and how
serious this would be , such uncertainty
and apprehension could not fall to
cause panic and disaster.
Wo linve b'jen ' on the gold basis for
many years and everything Is now ad-
lusted to that basis. The existing meth
ods of doing business have been long
istabllshed ami everybody In buslnc.s } '
s familiar with them. To depart from
the gold basis would necessarily revo-
utlonlzo all established methods of
business and for a time and probably
i very long time nobody In business
would -know where he stood or what
lew conditions would develop from dity
to day. Financial and commercial af
fairs would be In a chaotic state , there
would bu general confusion and gen-
ral distrust , nobody would feel secure
n the present or certain of the future.
In mich a situation It would be lin-
losslblo to avert vldesproad panic.
Ivi'ii now business men are buying no
nore than Is absolutely necessary to
supply current demands. Wholesale
louses nro calling In their traveling
lien , olther becausu they have no trade
) r do not want to sell goods on llnu
extending beyond the election. Un
certainty regarding tliu Immediate fit.
tire has already produced a panicky
feeling and any practical business man
an understand how greatly this would
m IntcnsiHcd if thu result of the elec-
lon should be favorable to the free
silver cause and readjustment from thu
gold standard to a silver standard be-
caino assured. This country has never
< xperlenced such disorder and disaster
is would follow.
Can there bu any question as to what
clashes would suffer mast severely fron
this ? The market for the agrlcul
tural producer certainly could not hu
prove under such circumstances , Inr
on the contrary there would be n less
cued demand while the disturbance
lasted and therefore lower prices foi
his products Instead of higher. Will
mills and factories closed nnd all kind *
of enterprises at a standstill , the laboi
of the country would suffer Immea.sur
ably and hundreds of thousands whr
have never known want would be reduced -
duced to that condition. The saving ?
of millions of people would be swcpl
nway and every person who had a dolil
due would be forced to payment. Transi
tion from a gold to a silver basis , wltli
the Inevitable readjustment that must
follow , means all this ami more and
It would fall with crushing force upon
the producer and the workingman , wlui
have no moans of protection or defense
against It. Thnsn who propose thli-
revolutlotiary change , though posing as
the friends of the farmer and the men
of labor , are the most dangerous ene
mies of those clashes of our people.

While demagogues and piillllral
mountebanks are rending the , ilr v 'th '
their denunciation of the plutocrats , the
bloated bondholders and capitalists , ( lie
class of men who are commonly rated
as millionaires aiv passing through the
most trying ordeal. Their liivesluients
are yielding no Income and Ihoiv losses
by faluie.s ! and by shrinkage hi secur
ities and properties make U almost Im
possible for them to subsist. It Is the
common experience of nu'rchani' . ami
concerns that deal In lite mvossarie.s of
life that the reputedly rich men of thu
town do not meet th-ir bills , not be
cause they are dishonest , but because
they lack the ready moans nf payi'ic.
It l.s one of the .signs of the ilmo.s that
the-wage-working , salary-earning people
are the only people who av able to pay
their way as they go. The dopartr.ii'iit
stores sell more gouus to Iho s.-rvani
girls anil women whit me earning iholr
Ivollhood , nau t ! ; ' / < lo to the mistresses
of the household. The d > iili > r-5 in fur
nishing goods nn. ! clothing and ilie
tailor rely almost entirely upon the
patronage of the median1 ! , the clerk juid
the salaried ollloial. The men of menus
lire today their poorest customers.
The fact is patent to oveiy one who
lias given the subject any study that
the commercial disturbance and llmin-
lal distrust has hit the wealthier classi'-i
more severely than It has even the poor
est paid of wage workers.

There may be substantial ground for
the statement that comes from Berlin ,
that nt the meeting of the c/.nr and Km-
peror William , soon to take place , the
situation of the Armenians will be the
principal subject of consideration. In
any event It is certainly a fact that if
these two sovereigns can with propriety ,
on such an occasion , give their attention
to the Armenian question , there is abun
dant justification for doing so. The
recent 'riotous demonstrations in Co i-
slantinople. In 'which a number of de
fenseless Armenians were killed by
TurlcMt troops , appear to h' > ve been
precipitated by Armenians themselves.
However this may be , it Is certain Unit
Ihe Turks will place tl.e responsibility
on them and thai they will find In ( his
iix'ldant an excuse for renewing tlu > .
massacre of Armenians throughout the
Ottoman dominions. .
It Is possible that this could be averted
If the czar and the kalsjr were to reach
an understanding looking to action If-
that end , for undoubtedly the Turkish
government has more real respect for
Hussla and C.erinany than it has f -
Kngland , because the cupidity of the
latter can be depended upon to pre
vent any extreme interference In Turk
ish affairs. The enormous British In
ture.-its In Turkey are security against
any extreme policy toward that country
on the part of the Biitiuh government.
Moreover , it has been the belief that
( lennrmy supported Ihe Turkish gov
ernment In Its dilatory course regardIng -
Ing the reform proposals of the power
and if such wen ; the case a change of
attitude by Germany would be signi
ficant and could hardly fall of good
ie.snlls , paitlciilarly If It should be taken
in conjunction with Hussla.
There can be no difference of opin
ion as to the duly of the Christian
powers of Kuropo to prevent a renewal
of Armenian massacres and there would
seem to be an urgent necessity for
prompt action , if the latest advice. *
can be accepted as trustworthy.

Brooklyn Kaglo ( dem. ) : The men who aie
arranging for the convention of the dem
ocratic party In Indianapolis are not
aUiamcd of the great Icadeis of their organ
ization. The hull In which the delegates
will gather Is to he decorated with portraits
of Jefferson , Jackson , Cleveland , Hendrlcks.
Til den and McDonald. National flags will
be conspicuous , the American eagle will
keep guard over the platform and a large
portrait of Washington will be put in a con
spicuous placo. If It had not been for the
absence of these things from the Chicago
convention hall their presence In Indian
apolis would not bo noteworthy.
Chicago Tribune ( rep. ) : The sound money
democrats of Wisconsin , Iowa , Michigan ,
Missouri and several eastern states held con
ventions on Wednesday and elected dele
gates to the national convention to bo held
at Indlai apolla next neck. Judging from
the character ot the delegates , the enthusi
asm they displayed , and the tone of the
resolutions adopted Senator Vllas was correct
when ho said at the Wisconsin convention'
"Wo" the sound money democrats "felt
the shock from Chicago as wo felt the re
verberations ( rom Sumter. Ono was aimed
at the Integrity of the union , the other at
Its commercial credit. " The oariicutiieas and
depth of feeling dlspa ! > ed everywhere by
the sound money democrats Indicates that
the Indianapolis convention will bo ono of
no little Importance , It will represent what
used to be democracy , and there are far
nioro men holding to that faith than the
popocrati ar willing to bollovo.

rcislon. He Is one nt the best titialllleil and
cleanest men on the ticket.
Kearney Hub : Advices from western Ne
braska show that Jack MacColl has been
making great inroads upon Cloxcrnnr ! lnl-
comb's former strength , which the latter
will hardly be able to recover.
O'Neill Frontier : Jack MacColl was not
nominated for governor on account of his
oratorical ability , trut because ho was pre
eminently well qualified for the position , ami
was n man of the common people. lie Is
sure to be the next governor of the best
state In the union.
Cential City Nonpareil : Charles I" . Casey ,
our candidate for state treasurer , Is pres
ident of the Farmers' State bank at I'awnco
City , one of the most hucetsstul banking
Institutions In the state. Mr. Casey Is held

Superior Journal : From nil over the state
comes the most encouraging rcpoits of the
canvass of Jack MaeColl for governor. There
Is every Indication that he can count on
L'0,000 to UR.OOO plurality. In this Imme
diate vicinity the change of voters from the
populist nnd repudiation parties to the ranks
of republicanism Is lapidly being made , and
there Is little doubt but that Nuckolls county
will roll up the laigost republican vote this
year that she has polled since the days of
Jim Laird.
Stuart Ledger : Hon. Jl. I' . Kinkald , the
republican nominee for supreme judge , Is
the only candidate on the state ticket from
lorth Nebraska. Ills many admirers In Holt
county Hiul In his old judicial district are
ntrcsted In seeing that ho receives a good
vote In north Nebraska. The judge In the
jiast has always run ahead of his ticket and
there Is every reason why he should this
campaign. If there Is any one position for
which lie Is bettor adapted than another It
s for this high judicial rank. He Is well
fitted for and well deserving of the high
loner that has como to him.

Nebraska In ISO ! was 1)8,211 ) , and the com
bined populist and democratlo vote was DC-
321 , which gave the republicans a majority
over the combined opposition of 1,020. In
that year every republican candidate for
state oilier * was elected except governor , and
the defeat of Tom Majors is chargeable to
ncmbers of his own party. This year there
s harmony In the ranks , and dissension
among the opposition , and the state ticket
"rom Jack MacColl down will be elected by
i greatly increased majority. And- Ne
braska will round out the good work by
jiving McKinley a handsomemajority. .

lo IIRS been weighed in life's balance and
'lag ' been proved equal to every emergency ,
lie comes up to the expectations of the coin-
11011 people , and his defeat would be calaml-
om to their many interests. Good-natured
and generous even to extravagance , he would
never be Irascible nor pettish. The door to
the governor's office would ever swing in-
wnrd for all , and the auditors of Gentleman
Jack would In every Instance receive a pa
tient and courteous hearing. His associates
on the republican ticket have more than
ordinary capabilities. Their services will
benefit the commonwealth and the people
ivill seat all with Jack AlacColl In the amen
corner at the capital for the next "two years.
