to predict that President ltoosevelt will

that the president believes lu action
and Is fully lu accord with tho polley

suppression of thu Insurrection and thu
establishment of civil government lu the
archipelago. 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,

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.

years that they are able to hold their
wheat and cotton at the prices which
tliey' di'iuafnl prices that Kuropo and
("rent Itillalii now say they will not
pay.
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.

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. .....

St Louis Cilobc.Democr.it
William J. Ilryan, la hit endeavor to flru
the demo-pop heart In Wbr.iskn, Is sitylnK
nome things which had better, for his In
terest?, hitve been left unnald. Thus, lu n
speoch made a few -lays ago In that state,
he remarked' "I hate to believe that men
tvlll recant tbclr beliefs because their ma
terial Interests are advanced by voting con
trary to their principle!!, t hate to think
that a farmer tvho believes In silver, In In-
dependence In government and is nRntti3t
mporlallsm, v. Ill tote the republlcau ticket
because, hogs are up aud wheat Is high,"
In this sort of tulk Mr. tlryan goes far
toward giving away his ease. A polley
which adtnnccs the material interests ot a
community, especially when that commun
ity means a nation of 76,000,000 Inhabitants,
nvist necessarily bo wlio. In talking this
way to farmers that statesman Incites them
to ask themselves the reason why "hogs arc
up and wheat is high." This will be fatal
to Mr. llrynu a whole theory. When thu
farmer gets to thinking of the reason why
tho things which he has tn sell arc higher
than they weie a few years ago, nml why
his general condition has bfen greatly Im
proved In tho Interval, ho will quickly reach
POM'I'ICAI. COM.MUXT IX Till! STATU.
Pender Republic: A vote for Judgo S, It.
Sedgwick for supremo Judgo is a vote to
keep this high tribunal above partisanship
by having all parties represented on said
court, but on tho other hand a vote (or bis
opponent Is a vote to make tho supremo
court a partisan body, as nil Judges will
bo (unionists. If the latter should bo suc
cessful. Vote to keep this tribunal non
partisan. 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. A
victory for tho fuslonlsts this week will
encourage them and help them to organlzo
for the battle next year; a defeat will de
moralize and dlscourago them and they
ought to bo demoralized and discouraged.
Vote tho republican ticket Tuesday.
Blair Pilot: If republicans were over
called upon to vote and If It was ever tholr
duty to do so, it Is this year, nnd tbo full
voting strength of the party In the county
should go to tho polls tomorrow and
vote tbo ticket of progress and prosperity.
You owe It to the national administration
and to the state administration; both havo
earned your endorsement. You cannot af
ford to bo a stay-at-home this year. Take
a few hours off nnd vote. See that your
neighbor does tho samo thing. One stay-at-homo
ln each precinct means 1,600 votes
lost in tho state. Don't take the chance.
Look at tho tablo of prices as rocently
published. Notlco tho upward trend of
prices on farm products and decldo for
yourself that you can afford to go to thn
polls and vote for the men who represent
tho party that by Its economic and busl
ncdsllko methods has brought to the coun
try unprecedented prosperity aud made mil
lions of men and families happy.
Friend "Telegraph: Wo bellovo that Tues
day's election will yet show Nebraska
ln tho republican column. 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

nnd they havo swept their mortgages off
thn records of ovory county within the stnto

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.

Boatswain Bill Hill, who told the court

why the men on Brooklyn nro so devoted

commanders seem to bo afraid to mention
tho men under them for fear they will loso

the way with Schley and Cook. They ro
mcmbcr their men, and you bet tho men

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.
There will be something doing In the lobby
line."
