Journal,
It Is thoioimhly itnilerslood In Omaha
that u deadly feud exlsln In 1,'ncoln be
tween I). K. Thompson nml u number
of proiiilui'iit republlciius ambitious lo
III! seals In the I'nlled States senate.
With this factional nnd persnial t oil
lost neither The lice nor lis editor lias
had any part.
It Is not understood nor believed In
Omaha that any compact or alliance
has been entered Into between I. II.
Thompson and Kilwaril ltocwatT with
reenrd to the senatorial vacancies to be
lilted next winter. That the story Is a
malicious canard fttbrlcateil for political
consumption Is not only apparent on Its
face, but Is also proved by the prompt
reproduction of the fake In the columns
or the World Herald.
No such compact was ever entered
Into nml there Is no other umlerstaud
inu between I . K. Thompson ami IM
ward Hose vvaler except that he Is to
Kid fair treatment at the hands of The
lice.
It Is nbsnlulely untrue that 1. I).
Thompson owns any Interest whatever
In The lice or has ever ncuollalcd for
een one single share of slock III The
ltee, nor has he ever been iiHked lo con
tribute, or made any promise to con
tribute, to The ltee or to share in cam
jialuu expenses with IMward ltoe
waler. As a nuitler of fact, no new
stock Iiiih been Issued by The ltee I'ub
llshlnn compaiiy under the authority of
Its extended charter, but when Issued
It will be disposed of only to the pres
ent stockholders.
The only particle or truth In this fake
Is that The ltee railed lo reprint two or
three letters In the mil ine of pcr.-onal
attacks on .Mr. Thompson written by
his Lincoln adversaries ami published
In Mucolii papers. This was done not
at the behest of .Mr. Thompson, bill in
pursuance of the pulley of The ltee lo
keep out of political and pcrMiiial con
tests oulshle of Omaha. This consti
tutes nil there Is of the alllan Il'eii-
slve and defensive, lonjuied by the al
lied Lincoln ami Omaha newspaper
fa kerb s.

The effort which the ureal corporations
cnulrolllui: the Iron nnd sleel trade tiro
maliliiK to withstand the law of supply
and demand Is regarded by the Cleve
land Leader as fuinlshlnr, a ood lest
or the power or trusts In conlllct with
natural eioiiomle laws. In the face of
scanty orders nnd Keneral unwilling
ness on the part of consumers to buy
their products at the present scale of
prices, sayn Hint paper, the corporations
are cudcuvnrlue; to make permanent nn
advance which Is out of all proportion
to the Kcneral level of prices and to Ihe
remuneration or productive industry.
The Leader thinks that the success
or failure of this nltcmpt to maintain
nn excessive price, In comparison with
other commodities, on lion nnd steel.
"will shovv whether the theory of those
who ornanl.ed Ihe existing meat cor
porations and llillalcd their stock Issues
enormously, on the ground that prollts
would Justify the paper cnpltall.atlon,
can be supported In the test of actual
business." It further remarks that "If
Iron nml steel prices full much It will
render III Ici ly Impossible the payment
of dividends on ureat masses or stocks
ami If the market cannot be held well In
baud now It surely can never be con
trolled in dull times." For u year or
two past there has been nil unprece
dented demand for the products of Iron
nnd steel and this appears. to assure u
strong market for perhaps a year to
come. ilui-liiK which time the reat cor
porations will probably be able to
maintain prices, but It Is absolutely cer
tain that any effort on their part to
contravene the natural laws of trade
cannot be successful for nny ureat
lennih of time. Sooner or later they
musi yield to those laws, Ihoii'h no one
can forei-ec Just when this will take
place, tine of the most sagacious of
the men cupmcd In the Iron nml steel
Industry said within u year that a re
action inlKht be expected lit tho course
of a couple of years. There are Home
Indications that his prediction may he
vcrlllcd, the demand for the pioducts
of I lit u nml steel having somewhat de
creased, but the K'eat corporations will
undoubtedly endeavor to maintain
prices.
It Is hardly isisslble, however, that
they can be suceessrul In this, and If
not, they will of course be unable to
pay promised dividends ami a loss of
power will result. All or the ureal com
binations urn more or less subject to
natural economic laws ami In this lies
the possibility of their ultimate dissolu
tion. A ST1I.IH' MlO.1I HUUTII 0.1M.I.
Ono of the most slKiillleant fads in
tho returns from tho recent South
Omaha city election Is tho vote polled
for mayor by tho candidate of the
united labor party. In spite of the
promises, threats and drammln on the
part or popoeratlc state olllccr.i ami
prouilucut fiibiou leaders from other
parts or the state, Dir. voles were cast
. .. .... ... . ....
for the union labor nominee. These
voles were cast by workltiKtuvn who
were counted as stjuinh ftislonlsts
ami who were nppenlH to lo support
the ilemocrallc city ticket fir Itryan's
sake. Mill llrynu'M iianie failed to
charm or dissuade them from the post-
Hon they had taken nml their allel
ame to the united hilsir party. i
That these men will asseit their Inde
pendence of the nhl parties whether
Tuned or not fused Is n foregone con
clusion. In fact It Is almost km tain that
the workliiKinen or Ihe country will not

Theie Is a kooiI deal of piessure be
lli!? brought to bar upon conuress for
the niuciiiliiienl of the bankruptcy law,
but It Is somewhat doubtful whether
anything will be done at the present
session, owing to the fact that there are
so many other mailers to be attended
lo which ure dei'med to be or more
urgent Importance, The referees ap
pointed under the net have formed nn
association, Ihe executive committee of
which has formulated umenilmeiils to
Ihe net deemed to bo desirable". The
opinion of these experts Is certainly en
(lilcd to iiiimI careful consideration nnd
the Judiciary coininlllee of the house
of ropro-ioii In lives' appears disposed to
give the views nml suggestions of the
referees the atlciitlnu they merit.
The pi opined niuciiilmciils to Ihe law
are based on Ihe opln'ons of the referees
In every section of the country and It
Is noteworthy thai there Is a remarka
ble unanimity among them as to what
Is essential for Improving the bank
ruptcy act. We have heretofore noted
the fuel that the Judge of a federal
district court In New York, who has
had a great many cases under Ihe law
before him, very emphatically pointed
out some of Its conspicuous defecls,
milling these being the ease with which
rraud was practiced by applicants for
discharge In bankruptcy and also the
fact that Ihe same person applied more
than once to be adjudged a bankrupt.
This Judge did not lomlemn the law as
a whole, nor do the referees whose
recommendations for amending the law
have been submitted to congress. It Is
simply urged by tin hi' exports, who
have had the amplest opportunity Tor
observing the working of ihe law. that
Its opera I Ion Is not fair and ciullable
and that unless It Is amended It cannot
remain on Hie stutute books-that Is,
thai there will be such an outcry
against It that congress will be com
pelled to repeal the act.
The matter Is one which seems tn us
to be of such Importance as to merit
Ihe very earnest attention of congress.
We have consistently advocated a na
tional bankruptcy law, believing such
legislation, If fair and equitable, to lie
in Hie Interest of all concerned.' We
still think that a sound nnd Just bank
ruptcy law Is desirable and while we
endorsed the existing law, In the belief
that It would be found satisfactory In
operation, we have no hesitation In con
curring with Ihe recommendations for
Its Improvement which are made by
those whose experience In Its operation
gives them a claim to consideration.
We have never had a national bank
ruptcy law to which there was not some
objection. Perhaps we never shall
have. The present net Is on the whole
superior lo nny of Its predecessors nnd
the defects that have been pointed out
can be easily remedied.
The re-election of Ihe principal of the

less nil right In Its way, but It will not

Tho question of tho surpli'H In tho na

attention of tho president at a cabinet meet
ing by Secretary flage. who has cleorly
statod the condition of tho government's

revenue of moro than JIUO.OOO.OOO n year ami
heaping up a large surplus, while pioplu

Tho war In not yet over. It Is true, and tlio
cost of maintaining tho largo army, of
conducting operations In tlm Philippine,
of policing Cuba, of building a larger navy
and providing for tlio heavy outlay under
tho new conditions still continue, and form
a pormanoat charge; but, whun ample al
lowance la made for tho Increased oxponsei,
there yet remains a surplus. Tho mirplu.i
for tho past nluo months of the present
fiscal year amounts to about f .14,000,000. and
It Is estimated that the. eurplus for tho

and ability of Fremont Kvorett seem to bo
admitted wheiever hp Is known, mid tlio

common to all republican papers. Mr. l'Jver-

Fremont Tribune: J. It. Wilson of Harpy
county lias been favorably mentioned ns u
republican cnmlldate for commissioner of
j public lands nnd buildings nnd he would be
mi excellent man If ho would give Ids con

ono of tho leading newspaper men of the
state, n splendid representative of the

would surely win buck republban supremacy
In Nebraska.

that the western part of the district should

Wo arc pleased to noto that his prospects

Hastings Tribune: The republicans of
Adams county started C. II. Dietrich's
gubernatorial 'boom otf In the right direc

Thin Is the flrBt time In tho history of tho
state that Adams county has ever had a can

ono every honorable effort should be exer

O'Neill Frontier: So far, tho gentleman
suggcistud for tho gubernatorial nomination
on tho republican ticket all have, wo be
lieve, at ono time or another bsen prominent
figures in stato politics. It mny not be ac
cording to political etiquette, but why cling
to the old stagers In tho party? Somo stal
wart republican patriot who not as much
ua over uttended a otate convention might
bo brought forth from tho lonesome prairies
that would mako n, stronger prop for tho

have been mentioned in that cminectldo.
Soward Reporter: Republicans of this con
gressional dlotrlct are turo tu have a can
dlduto who will command the respect of tho
pooplo nnd tho full vote of the party. Tho

popular men. Kach has demonstrated hiu
popularity In his own locality and has served
his pecple with credit In various capacities.
Tho nomination of either cf tluuo bright,

Fremont Hverett would bo tlio republican
congressional nominee In tho Third district

prises the Seventh sinulorlal district and
which Hverett represented In tho senate
very acceptably to all parties, he will poll

Uncle Sam Is giving his soldiers In the
Philippines an allowance of candy, and In
this ho Is acting under medical advice. It
Is a physiological fact, says tlio Medical
Journal, that In the tropics a moderate
consumption of confectionery promotes
health nnd satisfies a natural and not un
lie.ilthf ill craving of the stomach. The
popularity of "dulce" In Spanish speaking
countries thus has a senslblo backing. Fifty
tons of candy have been shipped to tho
Holdlers In tho Philippine islands by the
commissary department of tho army dur
ing tho last three months. This candy Is
Bisiolnlly manufactured In Now York, and Is
little more than sugar un1 lemon or llmo
Juice.
A correspondent of Lenllo's Weekly, who

Thoro nro fifty natives of the Carolines

Thoro Is one good road In Ouain, six mile?
long, extending from I'll I to the capital.
There nro two dozen bullock carts ill good
repair In Ciiam.
There nro now two Spaniards In fiuum.
(Juam tins a population of 5,000.
(Jiiam currency Includes everything from
billiard checks (left by tho Charleston's

Tho subsidiary currency at (Plain Is worn,

i Thorn bus been u prolong!! eonlniventy
between the sheep-growers and tha cnltlo
growers who dispute tho right to overr in
uud i'cupy the public lands. Kadi par y
to the quarrel has been In tlio past a pr v
Urged depredator; but tliu grazing l.mdi
nre not sutllctcnt for both, nnd they have
now earrliil their grievances to Washout
ton. As n consequence, tlio Departnucit of
the Interior htci asked the aid of the De, art
meiil of Agriculture, nml the division of
, loro.it ry is making an Invce ligation with u
I view to solving the problem In eo fnr as It
uffects the fnren preserves.
In vlow of the Injury to the forests in
many sections from overgrazing, all rcserres
I except those In Washington and Oregon,
and tho Hlifk Mesa reserve, In riotia
which Is to bo opened to 300,000 sheep at 3
cents a head, are closed to sheep by a
order Issued Inst May. This iep has ram l
n storm of protest from wool-mowers who
Insist Hint no barm Is done by grazing uud. r
proper restrictions. Many are irportul to
have driven their hetds Into the moiiiiUuiia
last slimmer In defiance of the law.
Against thei sheep owners are nrrnyed
the cattlemen and funnels, and cspoclspy
the Irrigators, who claim that the prance
tnians disaster to agriculture In the low
lands. They iiigue that sheep drntro Mi
fount cover In the motiiiMlus and thes tb
mltiisli the water supply. They am s.i I
not only to eat the joung groiMh whl.li is
to perpetuate Hie forest, bin to tramp dow
Irnutnernble smiling and deftroy the lav. r
or liuvcs necessary lo keep the soli In go l
condition. Sheep herdclu are accused o'
burning large areas In order to secure a
growth of uniss. While the govcrnmi-nt
will decide tho matter only In th case of
the forest roserven. these Include u largo
part of all the summer ranges of the wcu e n
shcfp-ralslng utati. and the renalls will bo
of grout Importance to the American wool
growing Industry.
With l ho cattlemen, the farmem. tho Irri
gating companies and the friends of forest
preservation acting ingclhnr the sheep-groK -ers
will probably bo driven Into the pur
chase of tho lands they dinlro U uso for
grazing purpceos. If thoy shall be excluded
from the formt lenerves thcro will no doubt
bo a great outcry nnd an effort to carry the
case over the bends of the departments by
an appeal to congress. The Investigation of
tho subject by the Department of Agricul
ture is to be conducted by experts und will
last for several mouths. It will covor tlm
relation of sheep grazing to other Intercuts
nnd taxation: to font firm; to forest pre
servation nnd reproduction and to irrigation
und water supply. It will probably bo con
