The fact that nine-tenths of the
suspended pensions have been re
stored should pnt a stop to the silly
-talk that has been going on for
years abont the alleged mal-adrain-istration
of pension affairs by re
publican officials.
The project to establish a repub
lican daily paper in Omaha seems to
have fallen by the wayside. Such
a paper is sorely needed, but the two
hundred thousand dollars necessary
to j)ut it on a paying basis does not
seem to be seeking such an investment.
After a prolonged fight the coal
miners' strike in England came to
an end last week, the operators
taking back the men at the old scale
of wages. The long period of idle
ness at the mines reduced the avail
able stocks of coalx and the prices
are higher than they have been for
years.
The federal grand jury at Omaha
examined thirty-four witnesses and
then declared that the stories con
cerning the alleged orgies partici
pated in by bank wrecker Mosher,
while a guest at the Douglas county
jail, were simply lies concocted to
defeat Sheriff Bennett.
The announcement that the tariff
bill is now practically completed,
and that it will be given to the
public in a few days, is good news.
Industry wants to know just what
sort of an assault is going to be
made on it by the democratic party,
and it wants to know this just as
soon as possible.
Differently from what one
would suppose, the prohibition vote
of the state is not increasing. This
year's vote is several hundred below
that of two years ago, and over
2,000 below that of 1888, when the
vote-reached 9 511. It is evident
that all consistent christians in the
state are not prohibitionists.
Senator Peffer predicts the
early organization of another new
party which will take in the popu
lists, but drop some of the vagaries
advocated by the latter. It is quite
likely several new parties will be in
the field for 1800, and among the
number promises to be the Ameri
can Protective Association and
kindred organizations. The repub
lican party, however, will march to
victory that year.
It is only a rumor, but just- the
same rumor has it that Attorney
General Olney will in his forthcom
ing report recommend that the gov
ernment close up the affairs of the
Union Pacific, and that Senator
Morgaa has prepared a bill for
foreclosure. These are days, how
ever, that yob can bear any kind of
ramor regarding Union facthc
affairs, very few of which have even
the foundation of truth.
Seventy-five members of the
American Protective Association at
Buffalo, NVY., are uuder arrest on
a charge of conspiracy. The case
will be in thfi nature of a test to
obtain an opinion from the courts
as to whether the society comes
under the head of proscribed organ
izations and its literature under the
ban of the law. It is a knotty
question which the courts would
just as soon be excused from having
anything to do with.

Kansas chose 60-4 county officers
at the late election in the 101 coun
ties that have sent in returns. Of
these the republicans elected 437,
the populists 149 and the democrats
29. There are four more counties
to hear from, and the probabilities
are that fhe preponderance of re
publicans will be increased by these
returns. We all take off our hats
to Kansas. She is certainly getting
back to her right mind at last.
When the democrats have the
administration no one can guess
what will happen. The attempt of
the present administration to bag
the provisional government of
Hawaii in favor of a monarchy is
simply astounding, and under any
other administration would not re
ceive credence. However, the im
pression is pretty general that the
prejudice and hatred of Mr. Greshan
Has overleaped itself and instead of
covering ex-president Harrison with
mortification has rebounded and
overwhelmed both Gresham and
Cleveland. The conspiracy, for it
was nothing less, has in all proba
bility failed. The provisional ad
ministration in Hawaii has been
warned and is in no danger of a
surprise. And now let Mr. Cleve
land and his half-bred secretary of
state turn the guns of the United
States on the provisional govern
ment, if they dare.
Here are the steps leading up to
the fiasco at Honolulu as they are
they are understood by the New
York Sun:
1. Queen Lilliuokalani. and her
advisers plot for the overthrow of
the Hawaiian constitution of 1887.
2. The most intelligent and pro
gressive part of the population re
volts, overthrows the monarchy and
establishes a provisional govern
ment. 3. The provisional government
welcomed bv General Harrison, is
recognized bv Mr. Cleveland, for
ne appoiuts a minister io in ana is
sues exequaturs to its consuls.
4. This provisional government,
prevented by" Mr. Cleveland's act
from concluding a treaty with the
United States, is in a sound finan
cial and maintaining public order
whe
- 5. Mr. Cleveland decides that it
must be overthrown.
At it ii Under Democratic Bvle.
North Platte, Nov. 19, 1893.
Mr. Editor: It is only the truth
to sav that we voted, in 1892, with
the democrats (or against the repub
licans by voting the populist ticket
it is the same thing), for the
election of Cleveland because we
were assured and felt assured that
things for us farmers were as bad
as they could be, and so we risked
nothing. We voted because we felt
assured wheat would not in any
case get lower, and we were told
that it would be $1 thirty days after
the announcement of Cleveland s
election. What is the result? From
the announcement of Cleveland's
election things have gone down,
down. down. It was decided that
silver was the cause, so a special
session of congress was called, and
after a long struggle against the
democratic majority the Sherman
act of 1890 was repealed, Since
which, what? Let us take Dun's
report of yesterday, Nov. 18th, as
miblished in the Dee. as one of a
hundred straws floating around:
"Legislative uncertainties (the fear
that congress will reduce the tariff )
weigh heavily, but the past depres
sion with trading and manufactur
ing failures, involying more than
two hundred and thirty-five million
dollars in nine month, besides bank
ing failures of enormous liabilities
and failures of railway and other
corporations having heavy indebted
ness, involves continual embarrass
ments which men are prone to
forget.". . . ."The gold reserve fallen
from $100,000,000 to 85,490,891."
. . . . "Receipts for the month thus
far $5,000,000 less than the ex
penses" .... "Less than half the
iron working poweris active; ana
out of ninetv-nine woolen works in
the east only ten are working full
time, while forty-five were shut up
Nov. 1" "A factory inspector
reports that out of 90,000 persons
formerly employed in textile mills
m Philadelphia only 17,5000 are
now at worn . ... "ine failures
during the week have been 349 in
the United States against 20u last
vear, ana twentv-six m uannaa
against thirty-five last vear. Be
sides one bank in Ohio and the
Thurber failure, there were four
with liabilities over one hundred
thousand dollars and sixty-eight
others over five thousand dollars in
November."
On the same day quotations for
wheat at Kansas Citv was No. 2
hard fifty cents, No. 3 red fifty-
three cents; at St. Louis, November
fifty-six cents, nominal; at Chica
go, December wheat sixty cents, no
quotation for November wheat.
These are not sensational nor ex
ceptional reports; they are every
day reports.
for one! think bwede Johnson
about right. Johnsou was an in
dependent in 1892 but this year de
clared for the republicans. When
called to account by a committee of
independents he said. "A year ago
I got sixty cents for my wheat:
vou tell me vote the independent
ticket and next year you get $1.25
for your wheat. "L vote the rode

The rumor about the plot to kid
nap uovernor Wane of Colorado
has probably been started merely
for the purpose of scaring the old
man out of his determination to
call an extra session of the legisla
ture. There is no doubt, however,
that if some legitimate means could
be secured for effecting a change in
the executive, the men who voted
the hero of the bloody bridles into
office last year would rally in regi
ments to get him out. The whole
state is alarmed over the expressed
determination of the governor to
call the legislature together to pass
a law for the free coinage of silver
in Colorado, or something equally
fatuitious. Ex.

such an application on the chest

There is something surprising in
the vitality of the Knights of Labor
organization. Beaten in nearly
every strike it has undertaken, rent
and disrupted by internal dissen
sions, mixed up in political schemes,
it has yet survived and been a power
in labor circles. Its members has
steadily decreased, however, and the
latest scandal in the order the
executive board being charged with
diverting strike iunds to its own
ends will probably cause its dis
solution. The order was founded
on the principle that "an injury to
one is the concern to all." It
flourished so long as it was wisely
and conservativelv 'conducted. It
began to decav when its leaders
attempted to use it as a means of
dictating , legislation. Chicago

The republican gold, silver and
paper dollar, one of which should
be equal to the other, still holds
good, with the principles and plat
form of the republican party. It
has been the attitude of democracy
on the money question, and the
violation of their pledger on that
point, together with their free trade
doctrine, that has given the repub
licans the victory in the last elec
tion, in nearlv all of the northern
states in which state elections were
held. Now if we stand up for the
American silver dollar, which is
good United States money, and re
main firm for the principles of a
protective tariff to American pro
ducts, Wm. McKmley or some
other able republican will be the
next president, who will have both
houses of congress to back him.

The defeat of the notorious J udge
Maynard and Tammany at the last
election in New York has encour
aged ex-Mayor Grace, ex-Secretary
Fairchild and other independent
democrats to reorganize the anti
snap movement of a year ago as a
permanent power against the dicta
tion of Tammany in the future.
They will again invite democrats to
put down their names and pledge
themselves to oppose Tammany even
by uniting with republicans to de
feat machine-made tickets in New
York city. They expect, also, to
extend their organization over the
state to oppose the dictation of the
Hill machine in state politics, and
claim that the- can enroll 250.000
democrats in the state to def v David

The Ohio returns show that Ttfc
Kin ley received the highest number
of votes ever cast for one candidate
in that state. The total number of
ballots to his credit, according to
this late estimate (and the official
count will vary but little from the
latest estimate) is 432,901. This
exceeds by 16,391 the vote given D.
J. Ryan, republican candidate for
secretary of state in 1888. In that
year President Harrisou received
416,054 and in 1892 he received
405.188, showing an excess of the
McKinley vote of 16,847 over Har
rison in 1888 and 27,714 over him
in 1892. When the official figures
are announced by the secretary of
state, the vote for governor will
stand substantially: McKinlev
(rep.), 432,901; Neal (dem.), 352,
147;Lacklin (pro.), 31,639; Bracken
(pop.), 16,273; total 922,960. Mc

Kinley's majority over all, 42,742.
The claim of the populists that
they had duriug the last year made
great progress, that all the country
west, of Mississippi or Missouri be
longed to them has been proven by
the election to be a miserable braga
docio. They have lost not only in
our own connty but in the whole
state of Nebraska, notwithstanding
the defection of disgrunteled Bryan
and Maxwell men, of whom a por
tion certainly voted for the populi3t
candidate for supreme judge. They
never had aright to claim Nebraska,
though they did so, but they are
weaker in every county in Nebraska
than before. And they have de
creased in importance in all other
states, and have lost those which
4hey really owned, Kansas and
Colorado. Thejr are probably bound
to go down as fast a3 they started
up, as no party can exist and grow

Ancient Craft That VrMfcdw4
f Modem Greykoaaia of ta tt'm
The first steamboat was built by Den
nis Papin, who navigated it safely down
the Fnlda as long ago as 1707. ' Unfor
tunately this pioneer craft was destroyed
by jealous sailors,' and even the very
memory of it was lost for three-quarters
of a century. In 1775 Penier, another
Frenchman, built an experimental steam
vessel at Paris. Eight yean Inter, in
1783, Jouffroy took np the idea that had
been evolved by Papin and Perrier and
built a steamer, which did good,
for some time on the Saone.
The first American to attempt to. ap
ply steam to navigation was John-Fitch;
a Connecticut mechanic, who made his
initial experiments in the year. 1785. To
what extent Fitch was indebted to 'the
three illustrious French inventors named
above we are not informed, butthat his
models were original there is not the
least doubt. In the first he em
ployed a large pipe kettle for generating
the steam, the motive power being side
paddles worked after the fashion of oars
on a common rowboat In the second
Fitch craft the same mode of propulsion
was adopted with the exception, that the
paddles were made to imitate a revolv
ing wheel and were fixed to the . stern
clearly foreshadowing the present stern
wheeler. '
This last mentioned boat was the first .
American steam vessel that can be. pro
nounced a success. It made its first trip
to Burlington in July, 1788. But, after
all, it was not until after the opening of
the present century that steam naviga
tion started into actual life. In .1807
Robert Fulton (who every school. child
knows was an American), in conjunction
with one Robert R. Livingston, built tne
Clermont, and established a regular
packet service between New' York and
Albany.
The success of this undertaking was so
satisfactory that four new boats were
built before the end of 1811, atleasHwo
of them being designed for servicem oth
er rivers. St. Louis Republic. .

king orders Louvois to arrest General

of Conti without permission, to send
him to Pignerol and to conceal . his

heavily fined a cabman for'fast driving.
A few days after the magistrate, de

court, -was hurrying along to catch his
train when, seeing an empty cab handy,
he hailed the driver and directed him to
proceed to the station, telling him that
-he'Vas pressed for time. The driver,
however, heedless of the hint, kept to a
gentle trot. "I say, I say, my man,"
exclaimed the fare, with his head out of
the window, "drive faster than this!"
"It can't be done, sir," replied the driver.
