WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1893.
Tobias Castor, the democratic
National committeeman for Ne
braska, is now in Washington for
the purpose of, he says, "decapitat
iig a few republican officials in
ISebraska," and further remarked
that he would stay as long as he
could find a head above the water.
Democrats, alone, will wish Tobias
success in his undertaking.
Things were somewhat panicky
Grand Island last week. In ad
dition to the failure of the Citizen's
National Bank, a cigar manufac
turer confessed judgment for $10,
000, the canning factory proprie
tors gave mortgages in the sum of
$12,000 and the street railway com
pany gave a bill of sale to A. W.
Ock'abock, of Portland, for $11,333.
In times of peace the war depart
ment has comparatively little to do,
-and Congerssman Beftzhoover, of
Pennsylvania, wants to eive it a job.
He has introduced a bill to transfer
the pension bureau to the, war de
partment. He argues, and with
much plausibility, that the war de
partment is better ntted to deal
with pensions with fairness and
iitellieence. It would have been
well for the present administration
had the change been made six
months ago.
These is every reason to believe
that the irrigation convention to be
held in this city next week will
mark the beginning of a movement
that will prove highly advanta
geous to the farmers of western
Nebraska, and they above all others
should interest themselve in the
work. Give them water with which
to irrigate the rich soil and they will
rapidly become men of comfortable
- tmans. Fortv jcracof irri crated

Revenues have come short of ex
penditures about thirty million dol
lars thus far this fiscal year, and
OMly five months of the year have
expired. Here is an average short
age of about six millions per month.
If this average should be kept up
until the end of the year on June
90th next, the deficit would be
about seventy-two million dollars.
Aid yet the ways and means com
mittee has started out to increase
this deficit to the extent of fifty or
sixty millions. This is what the
democratic party calls statesman
ship. j, Omeb M. Kem, the misfit repre
sentative from this congressional
district, in the campaign of 'a year
ago told us the reason he did not
accomplish more in congress was
because it took a new member about
two years to "get onto the ropes."
Mr. Kem has now had time to pass
.through the congressional kinder
garten and we have every reason to
expect that he will look after the
interests of his constituents; but
will he do it? We fear not, for he
is a nonenity in congress, has no
iafluence and is drawing pay from
the government under the false
pretense that he is doing somebody
good.
If the papers state the matter
correctly, republican candidates for
governor ere beginning to line up
for next fall's convention, all of
whom, we believe, hail from the
eastern part of the state. As a
alter of courtesy a renomination
should be tendered Governor
Crounse, but if he does not accept,
and he probably will not, western
Nebraska is entitled to the .nominee
aad it is probable she will insist on
her rights. There are several avail
able candidates, foremost among
the number being gallant Jack
McColl, of Lexington. He has an
excellent state reputation, very pop
ular and would prove a very satis
factory and successful candidate.
The Lehigh Valley strike was
brought to a close last week by an
amicable agreement between the
railroad company and the labor or
1 ganizations. So far as the terms of
the treaty of peace are concerned
the victory appears to be entirely
one-sided. That is to say, the
strikers secure nothing in the way
of concessions, and the issue upon
which the strike was inaugurated
is practically abandoned in Consid
eration of their re-employment by
the company on the old terras rind
conditions. The strike lasted long
enough to absorb a good part of
the earnings of the men and to that
extent thev are losers.
The change in the constitution
of the farmers1 alliance in Kansas,
making it a political organization
. and admitting all classes of people
to its membership, marks the down
fall of that once influential society,
says the Eeorney Hub. The change
is an admission of greater weakness
than had been suspected even by
the political opponents of the pop
ulist party, although it has openly
been stated in Topeka by a populist
office-holder that the alliance con
tains but one-fourth the members
it hart -on the rolls in 1800. The
Topeka meeting was very poorly at-teuded,-snd
this transformation in
to a political organization was un
dertaken as a last desperate effort
to prolong the life of the order.

Even the best posted man can
hardly keep pace with the progress
of electricity and electric railroad
building. It appears from the lat
est statements that there are
now 530 distinct electric roads
in this countrv and the number is
growing more rapidly than ever.
Over these roads 17,000 cars are now
running, which require engines of
100,000 horse power in the aggre
gate for their nronulsion. lhe
companies are capitalized at $135,
000,000. But that is not all; there
are 400.000 miles of telegraph lines
in service, with 100.000 miles of
underground cables. Who can
forecast the extent to which elec
tricity will be introduced during
the next fifty years? We are ap
parently on the threshold of elec-
a
trical discoveries.
In an article speaking of a rail
road from Yankton, S. D., to Den
ver, and which would probably nit
Lincoln county, the St. Paul Pioneer-Press
in a recent issue says:
"Such a line would pass through
Nebraska and the great corn belt,
interlinking it with the wheat belt
to the north. It would not be sur
prising if President Hill, impressed
with the utility of such an enter
prise from a Great Northern stand
point, should begin laying rails
next summer in a southwesterly di
rection from Yankton. The com
pletion of such a line would furnish
the corn countrv with a more di
rect route to the, ocean than it has
at present, since freight would be
carried to the head of Lake Superior
via St. Paul rather than to Lake
Michigan via Chicago. There is
no doubt it would be to the interest
of the corn belt to have such a
route to the ocean for transatlantic
traffic instead of the irregular
course which it now takes. It is
evident that the Great Northern
intends to continue sending out
feeders for its line of lake boats, of
which it has now six in service.
The speed of these freight boats is
equal to that of a freight train, aad
they can deliver wheat in Buffalo in
the same time that it would take a
freight tjain to carry it via Chicago.
Ose of these boats" carry 300 cars
of ttheat, being equivalent to ten
freight Stains." -
The Passing of the Populists.
The announcement that the Pop
ulist organization is about to dis
band, with the hope on the part of
its leaders that a new and larger
party can be built upon its ruins,
will not surprise those familiar with
the political history of the country,
although the demise of this party
was hardly looked for so early. The
party is going the way of the Anti-.
Masons, Know-Nothings, Green
backers and Laborites, flourished for
one presidential canvass or two and
then disappeared forever. These
parties, by the law of their being,
were restricted in their membership
to a class or caste, and thus were
barred from securing a permanent
or important place among the polit
ical forces of the time. Their scop3
as well as their tenure of existence
was necessarily limited, and they
were thus prevented from making
an enduring impression on the po
litical thought of the period of their
activity.
Smaller parties than the populists
have exerted ,more lasting influence
than they upon the political life of j
the age in which they figured.
James G. Birney's Liberty party of
1840 and 1844 turned the scale in
the canvass of the latter year, de
stroying Henry Clay's last hope of
reaching the presidency, and snatch
ing victory out of the grasp of the
Whig party. Martin Van Buren's
Free Soilers decided the election in
1848, threw the democracy out of
power, and gave the Whigs their
second and last victory in a presi-
dental canvass. The Libertyites
polled only 02,300 yotes in the
whole country, however, in 1844,
and the aggregate vote of their suc
cessors, the Free Soilers, four years
latter, was but 291,203. Neither of-
them gained a single electoral vote.
On the other hand, the Populists
cast over 1, 100,000 ballots in 1892,
and secured 22 electoral votes, but
they made not the faintest impres
sion on the fortunes of either of the
big parties. Cleveland would have
stilled rolled up a large majority in
the electoral college if not -a single
Populist vote had been cast.
In their new partisan affiliations,
if they effect any, the Populists will
be equally powerless. They will
find it impossible to attract enough
voters from either of the great
parties to change the result in any
national canvass. They may, as
they have already done, and as
nearly all the other minor parties
did, secure control of a state or a
number of states in one, or two
elections, but their potency as polit
ical factors can extend no farther.
Appealing as they do to the ignor
ance and prejudices of a class, they
can never become a national organ
isation in the true sense, or array
level-headed and progressive men
under their banners. Such tenets
in their creed as may chance to ex
cite general interest will always
find better and more powerful
championship in one or other of
the great organizations. In nearly
every instance except in the case of
the Libertyites and Free Soilers
before'raentioned, the "third" par
ties have been molded and led by
cranks, extremists and soreheads,
and thus have been unable to se
cure a permanent foothold or to
alter the current of the country's
history -in any material degree.
