Tho nolltieal rally racket is about worked out. Neither Woolley or Debs have yet given out a statement of tho states they expect to carry Tuesday. They should not neglect tho opportunity much longer or they will loso all tho fun they, ex- pected to get out of the campaign. Don Carlos says that the time for an uprising In Spain Is unpropltlous. In other wqrds, the treasury Is not In a position to meet the expenses. Money enough to pay for tho fireworks will, al ways produce a, revolution in Spanish coun trios. Tho latest Is that Purls Is to go into tho annexation business by roping into Its city limits a number of Its nearby suburbs, which will add a half million to Its population. The Parisians aro not going to be left behlud lu the race .for big census figures.

Nebraska Is not a pivotal state In tbU campaign. The outcome of the great contest for the presidency Is not likely to turn on which way the electoral vote of Nebraska Is cast, although the state properly belongs In the debatable col umn. Nebraska has much more to gain for Itself by Instructing Its presidential electors to vote for William McKlnley and Theodore Itooscvelt ns the repub lican nominees than these candidates have to gain from It. Ever since Nebraska went ovr to populism' and lost Its place among the states regularly found In the republican column It has been discredited more or less in tuo eyes oi uic progressive peu ple Qj otj)cr gcctl0ns, While Its slower advancement In wealth and population during the last decade Is to be attributed to many co-operating causes, it will hardly bo questioned by intelligent ob servers that ono of theso causes is to be found in tho unsettled conditions from which capital and Immigration al- wiijb ugui suy, uuu uiecuy w iuo i-uu q( government by mon . t. .. ... 1 1 t lmuucu wiiu popuustic mens, nun me rnt,lcals m t,,e "addle pursuing all sorts checked Instead of proceeding at the The opportunity Is before the people of Kcbrnska, at the election next Tues- :h,77 day, to glvo visible proof of their pref :io,iM crence for progress and enterprise.

' The next Nebraska legislature will be called upon to elect two United States senator to succeed John M. Thurston juid William V. Allen. Next to the election of President Mc Klnley, tho election of two United States senators constitutes the most Important i88ll0 before tho people of this state. Tho lnllucnce exerted by the representa tives of this state In the United States senate can hardly be overestimated. The members of the United States sen ate should not bo mere patronage brok ers who distribute spoils of office for their , favorites, but they should be men . . , . ... , . . capable of dealing with national and tn tcruational questions in a broad and atn fnirtirtrtl rt ninntint ntnn nil Miltimt t " " r"c' fuj un 1 rather than the classes.

It goes without saying that a full vote at tho coming election would go fnr to eliminate from tho senatorial contest tho corrupt and demoralizing in lluences pat make senatorshlps a mat ter of bargain and sale. No honorable republican in the legislature will refuse to abide by the expressed will ofhls constituents. TUB CENSUS AND UEtltESENTATtOX. One of the questions which tho. com pletion of the census will forco upon the attention of tho country will bo a new basis 'of apportionment for tho houso of representatives. Tho basis has been changed after every, census, the popula tlon requirement for a representative lu congress having been regularly In creased and the number of represcnta- tlves Increased also, with oiio exception only. In 1843, after tho sixth census, the number of representatives was re duced from 210 to 213. But at tho next census tho number was Increased again and this has gone on steadily until the census of 181)0, when the population basis was made 173,001 and tho total uumbcr of rcpsesentatlves was raised to BGU. The admission of TTtnh la,. added ono more, moklnc RR7 rnnrnaontu. I m Thu ,,re8ent popuintIon , a tUe oyer 70.000.OOO and louhti.8 ti, hai. t representation will bo again increased To continue the present basis would muke such uu addition to the member ship of tho house as would perhaps reu dor that body unwieldy. There Is sentiment agulust increasing tho size of tho house on the ground that It is alreudy unwieldy and that auy further additions only lucreuso this objection, Yet the popular brunch of congress Is 1 . micrior iu mcniDcrsnip to tho corre sponding bodies of most of tho great nations. Thu British House of Com inous consists of 070 members, tho French Chamber of Deputies of 684, the Itallau Chamber of SOS and the German Helchstng 307 members. The probabll lty Is that both the basis of represcnta tlon and the totul number of represeutu tlves will be Increased, as has been unl foruily douo after each ceuaus, with thu ouu exception noted. Assumtug that !ho now ma bo "ttae ,000, lual ou,u Blvo a 0U8 Ot representa tlvea of 881 "Jembers, an Increase of twenty-four foyer tho present house; nuum buuiu ium (ueru couiu do no rcasonablo objection to such an addl tlon to. the house, while if the basts of representation should bo fixed so as to keep the membership "at the present number It would work a hardship to some of the states in reducing their ren resentauon. indeed, even on a basis of elected next Tuesday nnd which will not meet In regular session until De cember, 1001, no that tncre Is abundant time for whatever discussion the sub ject may require. AXXEXIXIl TRUST MAGNATES. When a trust magnate declares him self In favor of McKlnley's re-election the fact Is heralded broadcast by tho Hryanlte press ns conclusive proof that McKlnley Is n tool of the trusts and monopolies. When n trust magnato an nounces himself In favor of Bryan he Is lauded to the skies by tho Brynnltc or guns nnd received with open arms ns a great accession to tho .ranks of- the re formers. This 4ms been strikingly exemplified by tho jubilant demonstration over the annexation to Bryan's new possessions of Levi Carter, president of the Omaha branch of tho American white lead trust. Mr. Carter, by the way, Is a lifelong democrat nnd never a republican, as one would Infer from tho clatter made over his conversion. Whether Mr. Carter has gono back to the party because Trust-Smasher Smyth has spared his concern from proceedings under tho anti-trust law or whether he Is trying to head off nn anticipated raid by tho grout Nebraska trust extermi nator Is not disclosed. UNEXCEPTIONAL CANDIDATES. 'Republicans of Douglas county and Omaha have never before been In so good a position to vote their ticket straight with the confidence that they arc supporting clean, capable and re llublo candidates as they aro this year. From tho top of tho ticket, from the electors for President McKlnley down to the lowest precinct o.Ulcer, tho men nominated nro exceptionally strong from every point of view. 'IJho republican state ticket, headed by Charles II. Die trich for governor, Is mado up of men each eminently qualified ror the position to which they aspire. For congress in this district the re publicans, have renominated the present efficient Incumbent, and In all tho other Nebraska districts the republican con gressional nominees are far superior to their fusion opponents. Tho legislative ticket In Douglas county has yet to bo assailed In its per sonnel. Tho three candidates for the stnto senate Messrs, Baldrlge, Coleson and Schultz bear unlmpeachablo char acters nnd are representative of thu professional, mercantile und laboring classes, among whom nono stand higher. On the house ticket the business men havo representatives In Messrs. Uhl, Bureau, Mead and Wilcox; the laboring men In Messrs. Youngs, Corncer und Mullen; tho men In clerical occupations in Mr. McCoy, and the farmers In Mr. Itohwcr. Each is recognized as of tho best type of his special calling, while all havo reputations in the community at largo that rank among the best. For county attorney tho republican candidate Is a conscientious young law yer of good standing at the bar and uu doubted fitness for the place. The republican candidate for county commissioner has been renominated for a second term, having Berved In that capacity during tho past threo years in a manner with which the taxpayers can find no fault ' The republican school board ticket comprises only men of good business standing who have direct interests lu tho public schools and who can bo de pended on to manage them at once eco nomically and with n view to the con stant Improvement and elevation of their standard. The republican candidates for asses sors in Omaha and South Omaha and for the minor precinct offices In the coun try also commend themselves to tho con Bclentlous voter who wishes tho best men in every place. As wo havo Bald before, from top to bottom the republican ticket this year contains no name for which the most conscientious voter need have the slight est scrupio iu cccoruiug nimseir ror fear of honoring anyone not entitled to his support. A RECORD OP STATESMANSHIP. Secretary Gage mado u speech in Philadelphia a few days ago, In which ho said: "Tho republican president has stood for nearly four years In that whlto light which casts exaggerated shadows over all faults and weaknesses. His record is, known. Is tho nation's name less honored abroad or less re spected at home? Has any Important act or word from him dishonored bis country? Has tho temporal well-being of tho peoplo been prejudiced or ren dered worse by reason of his admin istration? Has not Industry thrived has not labor boen well employed, have our foreign commerce nnd homo trade languished? Each of thu questions can bo answered In only one way and that to. tho credit of ono calm, wise, just and patriotic man; who for four years has guided tho destinies of this people." Tho record of William McKlnley as president Is a record of statesmanship. The country has never had a more prac ticai executive, ue entered ofneo as the representative of a policy which he believed necessary to glvo the coun try prosperity and as soon as possiblo It was put into effect. The results speak for themselves. When war became In evltnblo ho knew how to prepare for It. History- records the nation's achieve meut. In the conduct of our foreign re latlous there have been wisdom, pru' dence and firmness. Tho prestige of the United States abroad was never so great, as, now. Tho honor of tho nation has been maintained and its power and Influence increased. It Is an honorable record, of which every American should bo proud a record that gives William McKlnley tho strongest possible claim to tho continued confidence and support of bis countrymen. The chief object to which the last fu slon legislative delegation from Douglas county devoted Its active, efforts was the enactment of a bill repealing the antl gambling laws. A pot of fS.JOO was put Archbishop Ireland Verifies His Public Statement. Tho Interview attached ns exhibit A, thus endorsed by Archbishop Ireland, Is hero reproduced; NEW YOItK, Oct. 20. Archbishop Ire land, tn conversation today touching- the sentlmeut at Homo toward the Catholic church in the Philippines and In Cuba, re marked that he felt quite willing to repeat what was recently said to him in Home on this subject. He said he did so the more readily Inasmuch ns the eminent person ages with Whom ho had had tho honor of conversing on tho matter showed them selves to bo In nowise unwilling to havo the statements mado by them made public Tbe archbishop said "In one of tho audiences which ho itracl-" usly (ranted mo tho pope said: 'Wo aro well pleased with tho rolatlons of tho American government to the church In Cuba and tho Philippines. Tho American government gives proof of good will and exhibits In Its acts a spirit of Justlco nnd respect for tbe liberties and rlahts of tho church. Tho reports wo see from blshons and others Indicate this. Difficulties of do tall occur as a conscqucnco of war and of newness of conditions. But we understand such things. We havo confldonco In tho In tellignce and tho spirit of Justice of tho American government and bcllevo the fit ture will not lead us to a change of scntl mcnt. Under tho American covcrnment tbero win bo due respect for rights ofnron rty and conscience. Vou will thank In my name tho president of the republic for what nas been done.' "Cardinal Rampolta, secretary of state. on my toning blm of my conversation with tno pope, said that the statements made to me by tho. popo wcro such as ho, from his personal knowledge 'and bcllof, was ready to repeat and that I was at liberty to make tnem Known to tho American ceonlo nt largo. Tho cardinal said, furthermore, that on no icbs than threo different occasions petitions were sent to the Vatican in the name of the Philippine leaders to have pened between them and tho Vatican di rect official relations, but that the Vatican always refused to listen to such petitions out of consideration for tho American gov eminent "Tho church," said the cardinal, "needs in uuba and tho Philippines tho co-oDera tlon of tho American government for tho protection or Its rights nnd liberties, ns Indeed tho American government needs tho co-oporatlon of tho church for-the pacifica tion of thoso countries." "Cardinal Gottl. before his clnvatlnn tn the cardtnalate, had been superior gouurnl to the Carmelite monks and had established In Cuba, antecedently to the American oc cupation, throe houses of tho order. Ho said to mo: 'I received a few days ano letters from tho several Carmelite houses I ... ... . , , n Cuba. The fathers tell me that thov . . . . , - enjoy under the present American admin- lstratlon of the sland full liberty; that they havo undisturbed possession of .111 their properties and that they were never up by tho Omaha and South Omaha gamblers rind the repeal bill Introduced under cover by Senutor Howell Was smuggled through tho senate under the deft manipulation of lrank Ransom seizing the chair ns presiding officer by virtue of being the president of the senate. The bill would doubtless have been smuggled through tho house in the snmo manner were not the boodlo schema promptly exposed and denounced by The Bee. Tho Investigation forced by' this paper at thqt time uncovered Ransom's connection with the job, which, If successful, would have been good thing for him. With Ransom In tho senate again the anti-gambling laws would not be safe very long. Every report from Cuba Is to the effect that the Island Is more tranquil than ut nny tlmo during the last fifty years. There are fewer soldiers in cuua today than at uny tlmu during that period and they have almost nothing to do. The constitutional convention which assembles this month will nnd much of tho work of restoring prosperity well under way and the' people all busy "re pairing tho wasto of cdnstaut warfare. This should render the task of con structing a government of their own less difficult and, freed from the passions which consumed the peoplo, nt tho end of Spanish dominion, they should be able and willing to do justlco to all classes. Under wlso administration Cuba should soon be ono of the garden spots of the world and the home of a happy and prosperous people. Tho question. Is not yet answered how the note' clerk of a big Now York bank could get awny with close on to $700,000 without being detected. Of course no such wholosulo peculation could bo per petrated lu any small institution, yet at the same time It must either hnvo taken a marvel of Ingenuity or the men exercising responsible supervision must have been lax in tho extreme. Sluce the bank has a surplus mounting into tho millions and will stand the loss ltsolf, no effort Is likely to be made to traco responsibility further than tho de faulting, clerk, but hnd it collapsed as a result ofv the defalcation a searching Inquiry would unquestionably be In sisted on by the creditor claimants. In order to assure a continuance of prosperity the American people must re tain William McKlnley at tho helm of government for tbo next four years. Tho re-election of McKlnley alone would, however, bo unavailing unless the majority of the next congress will uphold republican policies that have given us stability In financial affairs and activity In our Industrial and commcr? clal concerns. In oUier words, the peo plo who are opposed to a change should seo to It that republican candidates for congress and republican candidates for the legislature aro elected on Novem ber 0. It Is worthy of noto that Charles II. Dietrich was before the people of Ne braska as the republican candidate for governor for six months without being subjected to a single charge reflecting on his character. In the closing days of the campaign the fusion machine has set lu motion a disreputable warfare against him under cover of anonymous circulars and letters signed by irrespon slble parties , attacking him with all sorts of malicious fabrications. These underground assaults have been pur postly delayed until too late for Mr. Dietrich to reach all the people liable aVijpftfle y-7 J in better position to labor for tho progress of religion and tho salvation of. souls." "Tho authorities In Rome," added Arch bishop Ireland, "are wonderfully well in formed about matters, rollgtous and polit ical, in tho Philippines and In Cuba, and ail they havo the Interests of the church In theso countries most deeply at heart and know far better than wo In America could know what the rights of tho church aro and how they may bo best defended, Americap Catholics and others may safely accept tholr Judgment of the conditions. As a plain matter of fact, tbo only safety which the Catholic church has In tho Phil ippines for the protection of property i.nd tho lives of Us priests Is the protection afforded by tho American flag and all this Is fully understood and fully recognized In Rome."
