    TITE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 1&0.T
of the race juration will be Introduced by
Southern. Senators and representatives. It
ll not at All likely that any of these bill
njll r,. passed, but they will furnish the
test for an exf.reeMon of sentiment In the
, south with reference to the tit gro. Among
the moat striking propositions relating to
the negro cornea from Senator Carmack of
Tenneaaee, who wanta io repeal the fif
teenth amendment of the constitution which
extendi to the negro the right of suffrage.
The aenator aaya he will Introduce a meas
ure that will embody hla Ideas along- that
line. Mr Carmack Introduce a great many
Mile In each congress, few of which are
taken seriously, and no one expects con
gress to pay much attention to hla repeal
measure, but It will enable him to addreaa
the aenate fully and freely upon the race
queatlon and In thia way It may lead to
Interesting debatea. There will alfo be bit s
providing for government assistance for
tranaportlng the negroes to the Philippines
and other Island possessions of the United
States. ,Thls plan would not be aa accepta
ble to the eolith aa their disfranchisement,
aa the negroea are needed to work on soutv
ern plantatlona. and their la no other labor
to take their place. It la known that Sen
ator Morgan of Alabama haa long be.leved
that conditions In the Philippines might be
made ao attractive to the colored people
that they' would seek homes In those Is
landa. But the Idea of an exodus to the
Philippines haa never taken hold of the
negro. The forty acre .they could secure
from the public domain on which to raise
crops with which they are familiar In the
south have not tempted them In any Impor
tant numbers.
The political freedom In Liberia has never
Ven influential enough to cause the col
ored people to leave this country. Borne of
the democrats of the south do not hesitate
to declare that something must be done
to maintain white supremacy In that sec
tion. Tfcey say that with the education
of the colored people and the aggreasivenrsa
of many of the colored leaders, they fear
the time when the, active operation of
the franchise of the negro may change
conditions In the south. While many of
the sountherners condemn lynching, they
express uncertainty, as to the conditions
that may exist If the colored vote, la to be
n active element In the election of atate
officials In the future. There are south
erners who talk of the possibilities of race
wars of a kind never before known.
Bnlelde Epidemic l Washington.
The alarming; Increase Jn the number of
suicides In the District of Columbia since
the beginning of the present year hss at
tracted the attention of the police officials
and medical experts. Within the past eltht
and a hal months there have been forty
nine deaths by suicide, aa agatnat twenty
six for the full year of 1901. The highest
number of suicides In the past ten yeara
was In 18S7, when forty-seven cases were
reported. -The police statlatlcs ahow that
the highest number of cases this year waa
reported for April, when ten persons took
their lives. The next1 highest number waa
In August, with eight caaes. These statistics
It would seem confirm the generally ac
cepted theory that more people . commit
Suicide during the spring and aummer
months that at any other time of the year.
Bulclde haa become ao prominent that at
the police stations the very closest watch
la kept on all prisoners and on the slight
est symptom of sickness the affected pris
oner Is carried to the nearest hospital. Dr.
Sdheffer, coroner's physician, la unable to
assign a reason, for the remaikable Increase
In the Suicide rate. Said tie: "in account
ing for Suicides one can only advance
theories. It la generally admitted that In
the hot, months and In fly time man la
naturally more Irritable than at other sea
aone of the'year. Again, here In Washing
ton, everything Is at a standstill during the
summer. ' It is possible that these condi
tions may haye, a (Tec ted tentona who- have
considered self-dcstrucllon. . Some people
argue that every man; who commits sui
cide la perforce Insane, but I know that
such la not the caee, for I have seen too
many Instances where the suicide was the
dierct result of the loss of hope. Fre
quently the Inborn love of Ufe to which a
person clings with greatest tenacity through
the heaviest troublea la overbalanced by
some trifle, which la enough to snuff out
the vital spark. I have in mind a caee
where' a beautiful and talented young
woman ended her life because a hot curl
ing1 Iron had burned a lock from her fore
head. Suicides occur where they are least
expected, and, aa I have aald, no one can
give any good reason for an Increase In
the suicide mania."

The White House has been put In readi
ness for President Roosevelt and his family,
who will return to Washington from Oyster
Bay at the end of this week. No other
president In many yeara has been absent

LINCOLN. Sept J0.-(Speclal.) In dis
cussing the candidates that make up the
above -tickets and the prevailing political
condltlona nothing could be more Indicative
of results that a comparison of ths vote
in the last judicial election and the state
election held a year ago. In no state In
the union probably has there been such
an upheaval In thlnga political aa in Ne
braska during the period of time Interven
ing between the two elections,
. Four years ago the fusion candidates for
Judicial honors were elected In eight out
of the fifteen districts of the state and In
many Instances the majorities ranged over
the thousand mark. At the election held
last year, baaed on the vote ot Becretary
Marsh, the republican ticket received a
majority In every dlatrlct In the state, with
the single exception of the Sixth, which
was carried by the fuslonlata. and ven In
this district the, fusion majority of 1,630 ot
four years sgo waa cut down toVGg.. In four
districts of the stato the republican major
ity waa cut down. In the Second dlatrlct
the party loat tS votes.' in the Fourth It lost
I. 078 votes, . In the Thirteenth It lost "488
votes and In ;the "Fourteenth district It
lost 73 votes. This slight loss, however,
has not encouraged the fusion party to
any great extent, for In one of them, the
Second district; they failed to find anyone
who would consent to be - a candidate
against Judge Jesaen, the republican nomi
nee, and he waa endorsed:
With auch a condition to face and over
come It la no wonder that the fualon lead
era are grasping at the frailest kind of sup
port to give the members of that party
some hope and encouragement the nonpar
tisan judiciary Idea. An Idea aa foreign to
the minds of the leaders ot that party as
a thins; could be except In the moat ur
gent case, like the present. With such
a condition the fusion leaders could
afford to endoree every republican Judicial
district candidate and they would have
everything: to. gain and nothing to lose If
by so doing then the leaat possible number
of votes would be deflected to Judge Bui
llvan. candidate for the supreme bench.
And this Is the reaaon tor the grand
stand play of the fusion party. It la the
absolute certainty of republican success In
the district lights, aa shown by a com
partaon of votea at the two previous elec
tions, that haa caused thera to center all
their efforts In trying to save out of the
wreck one officer. This comparison tells
eloquently what the fusion party has to
nVce this year:

Prohibitionists' Platform. j
ASHLAND, Neb.. Sept. 20. (Special.) To
the Editor of The Bee: Numerous refer
ences In newspapers Indicate that there la
a misunderstanding aa to the substance of
the Nebraska Prohibition platform adopted
at Lincoln on August 10, last. It haa been
referred to as Including planks calling for
election of president and United States sen
ators by direct vote, public ownership, etc.
Thia Impression was evidently caused by
publication of the report of the committee
on resolutions and not by the platform a
Anally adopted! Will you, therefore, klndry
give space to the publication of the plat
form as adopted for the informitlon of the
general public? It Is as follows:
The Prohibition party of Nebraska, in
convention assembled, recognising Almighty
ooa as the supreme Ruler of the universe;
holding the abolition of the liquor traffic
to be America's greatest moral, economic
and political question, demands the total
prohibition of the traffic. ; ; , ,
"We favor the adoption' of the initiative
and the referendum and the principle of
proportional tcprecurtatlon. so that In Tact
aa well aa In theory, the people may rule.
"We believe that Intelligence rather than
sex should determine the right of suf
frage.

Cabinet Member gays Incalcnlablo
Good -Win riew from Congresses
ct Ogden. ,
Hon. James Wllaon, secretary of agricul
ture, la In the city, a guest at the Millard,
having Juat returned from the National
Irrigation congress at Ogden, Utah.
"The Irrigation congress waa a magnifi
cent gathering of representative men of tha
west." said Secretary Wilson. "Delegates
were present from alt over the country,
and the good that will come from the con
ferences there will be Incalculable. Irriga
tion la becoming a living question, and the
Mormona of Utah have long yeara ago
solved Its great utility for the regions west
of the mountains. The immense amount of
water held In storage In the great moun
tain rangea la practically everlasting, not
alone from the netting snow, but from the
Innumerable springs .'geoplng from every
oanyen and mountain tide.
"I have often been asked why I did not
vialt Europe to study Its resources as ap
plicable to America. My Invariable rep.y
has been that our own country possess
resources that surpass anything that Eu
rope can produce and Its study la of far
more inflnhe importance than any sugges
tions we can obtain from there. The more
I see of our country the more I am Im
pressed with Its exhauatleas resources and
capabilities, and this thought has been
more vividly impreaeed upon me tlnce I was
at Ogden, especially when coming In con
tact with these brainy and Intensely prac
tical men of the west.
Conservation of Water.
"The conservation of water In the plains
reglona for Irrigation purposes will also
be a problem soon solved. The friends of
Irrigation are In dead earnest and it Is the
purpose of the government to help them in
every possible way. The purpoae ot my
visit to the convention was to ace what the
government could do to stimulate the quea
tlon of Irrigation, and every aid and en
couragement will be accorded.
"I spent Saturday at North Platte, Just
to look around. Nebraska haa opportuni
ties that ahould not be neglected. One Im
portant .thing I should like to Impress upon
your people la the dairy Industry In con
nection with your limitless augar beet facil
ities. The augar beet pulp after It has come
from your sugar beet factories will make
magnificent forage fur dairy cattle. Ths
Plntte valley Is the natural augar beet
garden of the west..-The soil Is particu
larly adapted to sugar beet culture and
with Its growth should the dairy Induatry
keep pace. So It ia with your 1m nenae fields
of alfalfa, hay and grain. Nebraska has a
grand future before it that la -not sur
passed by any other western state. I re
gret that my time did not permit me to
vlBlt the sugar beet factories at Grand
Island, Norfolk and 'Ames. I understand i
that at Ames particularly they are com
bining the matter of cattle feeding and
dairy products with the sugar beet produc
tion and that they are getting down to the
Witter by sclentlflo experiment, which ia
proving very successful. ' "
- -.in I
Eaperlnient Success.
"You know that we have planted eighty
acrea of pine treea-th the s.vnd hills of Ne
braska and the . experiment is proving a
moat gratifying .success,. . Th Department
of Agriculture, la. looking after the experi
ment. The tract has been fenced and no
pains or expense will be spared to give
the test every opportunity of utility.. The
young trees were raised from seed on the
department's experimental farm on the Ar
lington eatate near Washington. Eighty
thousand of these seedlings were sant out
last year and we expect to send out over
half a million next yeir.. These trei-plant-.
Ing experiments are not to be confined alone
to the Nebraska sapd hills, but wherever
they may be neadei. The best mlmli of the
country have come to the realization of thi
fact that to preserve and coiuerve thj
moisture necessary for successful agricul
ture we muit preserve and renew our for
ests and care for those that we have. The
foreat reserves are under the control of
the Interior department, but you Ca,n bo
assured that these reserves will not be
reduced; rather, will they be' Increased.
The Ohio valley Is an Illustration of the
wanton destruction of forests In the' fre
quently recurring and destructive floods.
The Umber denuded from the mountains,,
of the great Kanawaha district la Virginia,
which waa the great watershed of the Ohio
valley, caused the rains to rush down In
torrents and away to the rivers, causing
uncontrollable floods at times and unnavlg
able rivers at other times. The trees that
formerly held the water In the mountains,
permitting it to gradually percolate through
the aoll and thereby keeping the rlvera at
a relatively steady depth, have been out
away, and the rivers dependent upon these
steady eourcea of water supply have be
come but creeks, unnavlgable for a great
part of the year.
Will Co to Cotton Belt.
"I go from here to Fort Worth, Tex., to
to look Into the cotton Induatry there and
to Investigate the ravages cauaed by the
Mexican cotton boll weevil that threatens
the destruction of the cotton crops of that
and adjacent Btatea unlesa . a remedy la
speedily applied. A vast amount of cot
ton haa already been ruined by the cotton
boll weevil, and we shall examine Into the
matter closely to see what remedy la beat
to apply. My own Impression la that the
affected fields should be plowed up and
the cotton stubble burned and then a sys
tem of thorough cultivation be resorted to.
The trouble la much aggravated by leaving
the cotton atalka stand for late picking,
which permits the pest to propagate rap
Idly and unrestrainedly. The metier la one
of great Importance to that section and tha
government will lend every possible aid
toward the extermination of the pest.
"From Texas I ahall go Into the rice-producing
regions . of southern Louisiana, in
the Lake Charles district. Rice growing Is
becoming a very Important induatry there,
and a successful one, too. The lice Is equal
in quality to the best rice produced In the
Orient and we are experimenting with aeed
produced In the Oriental countrlea and find
that it does splendidly. A considerable
number of Nebraakans and Iowana are In
that section and are succeeding admirably
In rice culture. It ta aa easily grown aa
corn and la much more remunera ive to the
grower. The ' government is extremely
anxious to aasiat the rice growere aa It la
every other species of productive Industry
and Is aiding In every way It can.
"Ours Is a great agricultural continent
and the United Btatea particularly is cap
able of producing a greater variety of food
producta than any ether country of the
world, and It la the purpose of the Agri
culture department to stimulate, encourage
and help tha complete development of these
great and varied producta In every way
that It can."

CHICAQO. Sept. .-At the First regl
ment armory tonight a large meeting under
tho ausplcea of the United Irish societies of
Chicago adopted resolutions declaring that
no settlement of the Irish question short
of national Independence would aatlsfy the
aspirations of the Irish people. The occa
sion for the gathering waa the one hun
dredth annlveraary of the execution of Rob
ert Emmet and the resolutions wero em
phatic that no Ireland will satisfy men of
Irish blood but the Ireland for which Em
met died, Ireland a nation free and Inde
pendent, making her own lawa, floating her
own flag, shaping her own fortunea,
acknowledging allegiance to no power out
side the limits with which nature haa
bounded the island. The resolution adopted
was:
While we recognize In the land bill which
has recently become law a substantial con
cession to the Jnt demands of the Irish
people, we do not regnrd It as either a eet-tli-ment
or a compromise of the Irish ques
tion. We urge the lenders of the United
Irish league to take up with vigor and In
creased activity the movement to secure
legislutlve Independence, which we hold to
be of greater Importance than the settle
ment of the land question.
Tho speakera at the meeting Included
Central Nelson A. Mllea. Rabbi Hlrsch,
Judge Marcus Ksvanagh and Hon. John F.
Flnerty.
Celebration In Ohio.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 20. The Emmet
Centennial celebration here today waa par
ticipated In by Irish Americans from all

000 excursionists were brought Into the

There was a parade early In the after
noon ot Ilrsh societies, about 3,000 men
being In lino.
Following the parade tfere was a mass
meeting at the Columbus auditorium at
which addresses of welcome were delivered
by Governor Naah and Mayor Jeffrey. The
following resolutions were adopted:
We, the Irish-American citlxena of Ohio,
affirm our undying allegiance to the prin
ciples for which Robert Emmet fought and
died. Our ambition is that of Emmet, to
see a republic on Irish soil. We believe
with the American colonists that whenever
a government falls to aecure for Its people
those Inalienable rights of life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness, that that govern
ment Is a failure and It la not only the
privilege but duty of the people to resort
to revolutionary measures to secure those
rights for themselves and their posterity.
We, aa American citlxena, are unalterably
opposed to any allegiance, open or secret,
written or verbal, between the United
States and Great Britain
We congratulate the Irish race on the
fact that through 8K) years of unparal
leled persecutions they have maintained
the spirit of their nationality, and we have
unbounded faith that this spirit will be
maintained until Erin takes her place
among the nations of the earth.
The orator of the evening waa former
United States Senator Charlea A. Towne
of Minnesota, Mr. Towne pictured the
scene of Emmet's death, which he de
clared, waa one of the most pathetic tra
gedies In all history. He said:
It la a hopeful spectacle, for the man Is
the incarnation of tho Idea and that please
God, nothing can ever kill.
