Never mind, Nebraska will step ui to the scratch for the foot ball chain ploushlp ne.xt season just as If uothlii had happened. "Our Dave"' will drop his ballot Tues day Into the capacious maw of the l'a clllc ocean. It Is safer than the secret ballot at home. A few predictions can safely be made for tomorrow..

As commnnder-lu-chlef of the ariny the president can order any military operations lu tho Philippines which he thluks the tircumstnnces re quire. If more soldiers are, thought to be needed there they can be sent with out adtlltioual authority from congress and whatever aggressive measures are I deemed to be called for can be adopted without waiting for any action on thu part of the legislative branch of the government. In a word, there Is no restriction whatever unon tho president 111 this particular and congress could lu nowise Increase his power of dealing, In a military way, with tho Philippine Insurrection. General Chaffee, thuru Is no doubt, can bo depended upon to, fully and faithfully exercise all the authority con ferret! upon him from Washiugfon and this liu seems to ,be doing Intelligently and effectively.

INTEHHATIUXAIi THADE DEADLOCK. A peculiar condition Is noted. In the International trade, tho continuance ot which, If that Do possible, may mean a very material tailing on or our com- mercu with Europe during the remain- dor of tlio year. A .New lorn tuspaten of a few days ago stated tnat tne most glgantle deadlock ever established be- tweett tho producers ot the united States and the consumers of Great Brit ain and Europe was to a considerable extent stagnating commerce ami put ting ciphers lu the statistics that rep resent exports where heretofore have beeu llgures representing millions V great number of steamships and sailing vessels are laid up at eastern ports, unable to obtain cargoes, a con- dltlon of affairs that has not before iieeu expeneiieeii lor years aim ouu which naturally causes some uneasl- ness, thougli possibly It will be only " temporary. The explanation Is iu the fact that Europe is not buying our crops Just now because her consumers are of the opinion that the prices are too high and believe that If they are a little subeti and Indifferent they will secure concessions, it is also said to bo true that upon this side of tho ocean there Is for the time belug the utmost Indifference on the part of thosu who own American wheat ami cotton to this European and English purpose. For the llrst time, lu many years the Amer lean farmer cnu afford to lie stubborn. I'm.

It Is Improbable, however, that this Is more t lut ii a temporary condition. Kuropo must have our wheat and our cotton, whatever the price asked for, It, because there Is uotvhere else to obtain' these commodities, especially cotton. Some foodstuffs may be secured else where,, but even as to this the chief dependence at present is upon the United States. .Meanwhile the lack or exportation has eaued a scarcity of ex change and an outllow of gold, though not to an extent to cause any anxiety. Duriug the past week about three lull lions in gold went from Now York to I-Jurope and probably more will be shinned this week, but of cotirso such an outgo has no effect whatever upon the money market, so great Is the slock of gold now lu this country and It Is steadily Increasing. As to the trade deadlock, there Is no reason to believe that It will be long continued. Murope inav not now bo dlsiiosed to nav Amer- lean prices for wheat and cotton, but she will be compelled to sooner or later take those commodities at what we think they are worth. yoTinxa to bhao ok County Treasurer Elsasser points with nrldo to the fact that he has uiado nubile the condition of the county tlnuuces. He also tries to make believe that he has not been able to turn In any Interest on these- funds because the de- posltory law tlxes the minimum rate of Interest at :t per ceut. while the Omalm banks pav only U per cent. This excuse Is very lllmsy. Every- body knows that the lawmakers' design was to stop the farming out of public funds for private gain. At tho time the law was piissod pur cent was tuo low- est rate or interest, nut no court wouiu punish a treasurer for turning lu i! per cent on tlio deposits Instead of putting hundreds, of thousands of dollars of county money ou deposit without Inter- cai. .....

COM.MUXT IX Till! STATU. Pender Republic: A vote for Judgo S, It.

Norfolk Nowa: The overage fusion editor of Nebraska Is not following tho World- Herald's lead as friskily and us blindly as ln years past. There was a tlrao when that paper had tho Implicit confidence, not only of tho fusion editors, but of Ita read ers, but It has so frequently been detectod at fakery and error that Ita conscientious followers aud worshipers are about as Bcarco as flics tn midwinter. Grand Islnnd Independent: Kvcry repub lican should bo nllvo to tho Importance of carrying tho stato this fall. Fusion is riding for a fall nnd all tho hurrying ot the spellbinders will not avail If repub licans but do their duty. It won't do to bo overconfident and loso the gamo by fail ing to play trumps at tbo right time. Aud wo need not "load from a Bneak" cither, for wo hold the long suit nnd tho trumps. In other words, we win the victory It wo but do our duty by going to tho polls and voting the ticket. Ohlowa Ohlownn: There may havo been some excuso for tho oxlstcnco of populism when tho party was first organized, but It Is difficult to discern a valid reason now why the organization should continue to re celvo tbo support of men who arc really and truly tn favor ot securing the best legal enactments and tho most upright officials to administer nnd Interpret them. If populism meant anything It moant n re buko to tho republican party and the demo cratic party for tolerating machtno politics and occasionally electing a dishonest man to office. Who can deny that tho populist Is not now as much addicted to ring rulo as ever tho republicans nnd democrats wcro' or that nbout the samo percentage of public men go wrong In all parties? It would be a difficult matter for an honest populist to assign ono valid excuse for the existence of his party. Beatrice Express: Thoro nro voters who are sinfully Indifferent as to tho result of tho election this year. Republicans have been heard to say that It Is an oft year and It doesn't make much difference which sldo wins. .Such Indlfferunco Is the besetting sin of .the supporters of the g. o. p. They aro apt to tako too much for granted and assume that tbclr friends will tako euro of the ticket. Thcro Is so much at stake this year, off year as it Is, that tho tusiom lsts aro making frantic efforts to win. Their high prlost Is touring tho state, try ing to kindle new tires ot enthusiasm ln tbo bosoms of tho pops and democrats.

Tho nominations for Judgo of tho supremo court nnd regents ot the university havo been wso ones and they aro pledged to the common voter all over the stnto that tho affairs will bo run nbly and economically from first to last. When Nebraska went back Into the repub lican column a year ago her populaco showed that she was tired of fusion rulo and the conditions that were Incident to longer barlotlng with tho pet notions of the fusion platform. As a result of tho result of tho election a year ago every man ami woman who desired work has been supplied with employment and no ono who desired to work has sought a Job 'many days. Farm land has enhanced In value to the extent of from $3 to ?10 per acre. Farmers aro tho principal depositors In our local banks nnd they havo swept their mortgages off thn records of ovory county within the stnto with a rapidity that has never before been known In this or any other country.

President Roosovclt wilt respect prece dent to the extent of having a Rhodo Island turkey on his Thanksgiving dinner table; but his personal preference would bo to take his gun Into the woods and bring down a wild one, as our great granddaddlcs used to do. the correct conclusion that republican su premacy Is accountable for much, very much, of this Improvement. Mr Hryan Is an eloquent man, but ho cannot make nnythlng, In a political way, out of this prosperity nrgumrnt. He said la one ot his recent speeches that "the prosperity argument defeated us last year, and when one admits that a man who ha professed belief In our principles votes tho republican ticket, you have to admit that he puts material Interests above tho welfare of his country prosperity above principle." Theio Is dynamite for tho democratic leader In this sort of stump speaking. He ought to leave thn prosperity talk to thf republicans. tho alone arc In a position to profit by It. Mr. Dryan concedes, what everybody knows to be true, that the con dition of the country has been wonderfully Improved since the republican party camo Into power. There Is something more than a coincidence In this conjunction. The In telligent men among tho ctnournt Nebias kan's hearers will be apt to see that the lupubllcan sway and the national prosperity bear, the one to the other, tho relation of eaiisc to effect. iiitm or WASiiixtn'ox mkh, l'K-hlnuft of I'rople nnd I'vciit nt tl.r .National Cnpltnl. Boatswain Bill Hill, who told the court of inquiry ,ind the country a stirring story of tho battle the Brooklyn fought on the Bouth coast of Cuba, haB returned to his duty, his vacation bating expired on tho 1st Inst. While In Washington after giv ing his testimony, ho hung around tho courtroom, listening to every witness and telling his friends whether the trim Btory was belug told. If It wiib (or Schley. Hill was ready to swear it was I rue but If It was against his old commander tho big sailor could not find words savago enough to express bis contempt for tho detractor. "I don't care where they send me." ho said to a correspondent of tho Chicago Post, who Jokingly told him the powers that be meant to detail him to chase tho Pata gonlanf ou account of tho red-hot Schley story ho told on tho stand, "They can do what they want with me. I'll tell you why the men on Brooklyn nro so devoted to Admiral Schley and Captain Cook. It's becnuso they gave every man a fair show at tho glory. Thny did not try to keep nil tho credit for themselves. Why, the ad miral gave me a paragraph In his report to tho department, and Captain Cook men. tloned me, too. It's only onco In a man's life that he gets a chanco to distinguish himself tn the navy, nnd when ho docs his duty ho likes to be recognized. Some commanders seem to bo afraid to mention tho men under them for fear they will loso somo of tho credit themselves. That Isn't the way with Schley and Cook. They ro mcmbcr their men, and you bet tho men aro grateful." Hill wears a medal of honor for bravery shown In rescuing a man trom drowning. Secretary Hay has a new coachman. He Is a recent Importation nnd possesses great contempt for tho eighth letter of the alpha bet. Tho other night ho drovo tho prcmlor to tho White House. As tho weather was a trifle chilly tho coachman Joined some ot his guild nt a tavern near tbo Whlto Houso grounds, where ho became slightly befud died on 'alf and 'alf nnd kindred liquors. Mr, Hay, as everyone knows, lives on II street, opposite Lafayette square. Luck of acquaintance with tho neighborhood, com bined with the convivialities of tho evening conspired to make the1 coachman mistake the- route. Driving up to a largo house on I street he pulled his horses to a standstill and announced In his cheery British' way: "Omo, sir." The secretary at onco dlvlnod the mlstako nnd also tho condition of bis man, whom ho began mildly to take to taBk, "You aro on I street," ho explained, "a block away from home. You crossed H street without knowing It, and you are In toxicated." A great and knowing light came Into the coachman's eyes as he exclaimed in tri umph: j "Pardon, sir! Pardon; but now hit's hall clear, sir, 'ow tho deplorable mistake oc curred, sir. Hi ham an Englishman, sir, as you are doubtless aware, sir, so that hit's perfectly natural for me to drop my IPs, sir." Tho forthcoming report ot the Interstate Commerce commission will mako n com parison of railroad accidents under existing conditions and the record of tho last year prior to the ndoptlon of safety appliances. Tho passage ot that law was bitterly fought by tho roads, tho officers of which claimed that its ennctment nnd enforcement would cost them millions ot dollars In equipping their cars with the patent devices. The law wns finally pushed through and tho forth coming report tvlll show that It has resulted In saving the lives and limbs ot a groat many employes, however much It may have cost the railroads In treasure. The follow ing statement of the returns from one of tho largest railroads In the country furnishes a fair suraple of the general conditions. On this road twenty-one men were killed In 1893 and 1,237 men were Injured. These fig ures Include only the men killed and Injured while engaged in tho operation (of coupling and uncoupling cars. The total number of men engaged in that work on the road In question during 1893 was t,071 . ln tbo year Just closed there wore 13,197 men doing the samo kind of work for this road. There wcro but nlno fatal accident to tho couplers nnd only 167 accidents. From this state ment It will bo seeu that while In 1893 ono man was killed for every 472 engaged in the operation of coupling cars, nnd one Injured for ovory eight that were nmployod, last year only ono was killed In every 1.4K6 and ono Injured for every seventy-nine em ployes. A Washington letter to the Minneapolis Journal predicts a lobby scandal as well as a hot fight over isthmian canal legislation In congress during thu winter. "Some bill," says the writer, "Is pretty likely to be passed, but before It Is dccldwd to chotio the Nicaragua or Panama route a lot of con gressmen tvlll bo influenced,' Collls P. Huntington, who, by the way, used to take a lively Interest hi canal legislation, was wont to say that it bad cost hi in 25,000,000 to teach congress Its duty, There aro suc cessors to the late Pacific railroad magnulo who are quite as Intent on teaching con gress what It ought to do. It would tako a Philadelphia lawyer to untangle tho net work of conflicting Interests mixed up In this canal business. Montleur Hiitln ropre sents French Interests, which amount to millions. With tho Panama people It Is all or nothing. Then there am the Maritime company, the Oragln Ayre syndicate and a dozen other cliques, all with Itching palms.
