This man, vhoo one aim in life watt

clement of. real manhood. I In In a
mlaerublo Booundrel, u violator of the
law and a disrcputahlo inoiubor of
society, a wrecker of honu'H and for

wretch, a man utterly avarlclotm and
given over wholly to nelllHhncRH and
corrupt practices, a man to whom honor
is an unknown quantity, mercy, a
luoanliiKless word, n protagonist of evil,
a yotary of tho devil.,
And yet, Buch is his wonderful power,
that tho law canuot touch him an it
touches lesser criminals and justice
never overtakes him. Ho laughs at
judges, juries, jails and jailers, and
actually uses tho law to hold at bay
those who would attack him. Ho is
above authority and umonablo to no io

be la yet unpunished and unpunishable.
He haa vanquished captivity and is
today more poworful than over.
Mosher seals the mouths of those who
would testify against him, suborns
officers of law and ministers
of justice, overturns decrees, and
mocks his accusers. His minions and
his money aro In high places and low
places, and ho rules with despotic power.
He is, apparently, impregnable.
Yes, he manufactures public senti

MAJ. CALHOUN OK THK SITUATION.
The gracefully rotund editor of the
Lincoln Herald is not only one of the
most finished sportsmen in the state,
but he is unquestionably ono of the
ablest exponents of alleged democratic
principles in Nebraska. No man la
more fertile in democratic sophisms, or
more ingenious in democratic excuses;
and when we find Major Calhoun unable
to account for the results of last week's
election, except In tho most weak and
puerile maimer, that admits tho weak
ness of tho democratic position, wo can
understand how utterly discomforting
recent political revolution is to those
ftl democrats who uro 'less optimistic than

can 'party,; the patty in power, for a
quarter of a century after the election
of Abraham Lincoln, the official returns
fail to show it. Republican presidents
were elected right along until tho fat
man succeeded in breaking the charm.
There is a re-action against the party
in power when the party in power rinds
a people prosperous and happy, and in
Um than a year replaces prosperity with
actual distress, and brings sorrow in ex
change for the peace and joy that
reigned. There is a re-action against

for whomever will, and by Its threats
and general policy of demolition, puts
out the llres and HlopH the machinery

Inability to cope with tho dumandH of
the time, and tho rn-actlon which wiih
typllled In last week's election wiih thu
natural proteHt of tho peoplo agaiiiHt a
democratic policy that has In an in
credibly abort Hptico of time brought
the country from a condition of great
and general pronperlty to a condition of
great and general mifTerlng, with tho
feeling of uncertainty that is alwayH a
curb to progresH and development.
Tho party in 'tower Ih responsible to a
very largo degree for tho prevailing hard
times. Two of tho principal church of
tho deprcsRlon worn the fear that demo
cratic dcmitgoguory might enact Hllver
legislation that would hopelessly tin
settle tho ilnaucert of tho country, and
tho fear that thu democratic party, so
llrmly entrenched In -tower, might
oxecutn its threats and glvo iih freu
trade. And thero is no assuranco iih yet
that tho democratic party will refrain
from executing its threats of demolition.
Major Calhoun states that hint fall
worklugmen employed In tiirllT protected
industrleH weru confronted by a "threat
ened" reduction of wages. "Tills year,"
ho Hays, "there aro millions of thorn on
reduced wages and short time or alto
gether out of employment. They laid
their condition to thu democratiu party
and voted accordingly." Exactly. Why
shouldn't they lay their condition to tho
democratic party, tho party whoso onu
principle Ih u policy that would place tho
worklugmen of tho United States on an
equality vitli tho sorfs In Kugland, and
pel maiiently close thousands of fnciorlcH
and shops?
Yes, thero was and Ih hoiiio dissatisfac
tion among democratH "over tho slowness
with which tho federal oltlcu have been
lillod," Major Calhoun himself Ih doubt
less dlssatistied at tho slowness with
which ho Ih making progrcsti towards
tho appointment to tho postmiiHtcrship
in UiIh city; but these disappointmontH
did not glvo McKlnley over 80,000
plurality in Ohio, and ciiubo a general
republican landslide.
"Thu republicans have muilo gainn
only in two directions: Among tho old
snldlerH and among tho men who have
been thrownout of work by hard timoB,"
suys tho editor of thoJcmfti. No other
gains woro necessary. Major Calhoun
in stating that tho men who fought to
savo tint country uro coming into tho
republican party in Increasing numbers,
and that tho army of unomptoyod under
dpmocratio threats is turning to tho re
publican party witli hopo and confidence
pays tho highest tribute to tho republi
can party. And these now republicans
will not bo disappointed. Tho party has
always looked after tho Interests Of tho
soldiers nnd labored to benefit tho work
ingman, and it ulvayHtwlll.
It's a very easy matter o explain after
all. Tho jtooplo havo knowledge of re
publican performances nnd democratic
promises, and they prefer ropuhlicuu
performances.
Tar. Call for some time past him been
running u not vory clear something about
British capital and Wall street at the
top of its editorial columns, addressed
to President Cleveland. Somebody
ought to call tho president's attention to
tho Calfs expression. Wo would llko to
see what would happen when Mr. Cleve
land and our contemporary's wisdom uro
brought together.
AN OVTHAOKOUH ACTION.
President Clovelund deserves and has
received warm praise for many of his
official acts. Ho has, in somo respects,
mado an oxcollont president, and Thk
CouiUEithas on moro than 0110 occasion
expressed its admirution for tho fear
lessness of this man, who by sheer will
forco and determination has risen out of
himBolt into a manhood and strength,
thut whutovcr may bo his mistakes, en
titlo him to tho distinction of great
ness. Any man who can evolvo himself
from u grovelling und bestial political
pack horso into a man of parts, and
ascond to tho presidency- of tho United
States is unquestionably u great man.
Mr. Cleveland's will forco has brought
him much credit and won him many
victories, liut will forcu may easily be
come bull hcadodncBS, and lead to an
irreparable blunder, and this is what
has happouod in tho case of tho gentle
men who now holds tho office of presi
dent of this country and is supposed to
embody the principle of republicanism
upon which this country was estab
lished and has slnco been so successfully
maintained.
v It has remained for Mr, Cleveland, of
all tho men who have been elected to
the presidency, to be tho first to uso the
mighty machinery at bis commund in a
determined and un-Americun attempt to
crush out the glowing embers of liberty
and hopo iu a country that has strug
gled in squalor uudor tho burden of un
offensive and unprincipled monarchy,
sustained by jobbery and corruption;
and to repluce and revive that mon
archal system, in this instance wretch
edly vile and base, that is tho antithesis
of freedom and equality, und tho one
onomy of the one principle upon which
the nation was founded.
President Cleveland, by the exercise
of intrlguoaud cunning, has advanced
th' Interests of that miserable repre
sentative of royalty, Lilluokalani, ami
by a ntratcgiu movo Ih attempting to
stamp out tho revolt against profligate
desK)tlsm and sent tho ox-queen upon
her throne, which means thoHUppression
of liberty and thu re-establishment of a
system so pernicious that Its Injustice,
iih exemplified in Hawaii, cries aloud to
tho nations of tho world.
Mr. Cleveland, tho highest officer of
what wo uro proud to call tho most en
lightened and most democratic nation
on tho earth, violates tho spirit of the
national constitution, outrages Ameri
can sentiment and ovoirldcH overy con
sldoratlon of right and justlco when hu
sends thu troops of this free nnd repub
lican country to Hawaii to do battle
against tho men who, fighting for liberty
and Independence, over-turned royalty,
and reinstate, by tho spilling of blood,
If necessary, tho queen upon her throne.
Mr. Cleveland Ih tho first president to
become tho enemy of lopuhlicnnism and
tho protector of royalty, and tho spec
taelu Is well calculated to disgust overy
patriotic American.
Hawaii had beuu recognized by tho
United StateH iih a republic, and thero
has existed no consideration that war
ranted tho president iu making this
country violate Hh pledge and espouse
tho cause of the dethroned queen.
Tho influences behind Llliuokalanl
aro of thu basest and most mercenary
sort, and tho president, in taking up thu
cause of tho queen, has played Into the
hands of the Kngllsh Interests, the cor
rupt and powerful political jobbers that
dominated the country under Lllluo
kalani'H rule. IIIh action could not pos
sibly bo moro un-American or morn un
just. Thk ContiKU can hardly be accused
of unfair partisanship when it sayn that
if President Harrison had been re
elected the Hawaii case, instead of drug
glng along for a vear, would havo been
disposed of at once, and that lepubll
canlsm In Hawaii would by this time
havo been 11 settled and dellnite fact.
"1'itoKTiTUTin.N and illicit liquor sel
ling and their accompanying crimes are
still flourishing in the bottoms under
the patronage and protection of tho city
administration," says tho Cull. "Gamb
lers aro lined 91 and dismissed, thu
police judge turns in 91,100 an bis re
ceipts from lines und costs in six months,
and yet tho mayor and tho council and
tho excise board give no sign. Aro tho
members of tho council satisfied that
everything is as it should bo? Is tho
mayor satisfied that tho laws' aro being
enforced and thu decent element of tho
community protected?" All of theso
things havo been brought to tho atten
tion of tho mayor, who is tho respon
sible party, and as time goes on tho
hypocrisy, doublo dealing, brazon as
suranco, and general humbuggery of
A. H. Weir becomes moro und moro
apparent. Tho mayor isn picturesquo
and colossal fraud.
I'OHT KI.KCTION NUUAIIItl.IXU.
Republican politics in this county has
not lost its zest slnco tho election. Tho
election of thu whole republican tickot,
with just ono exception, lias been fol
lowed by a discharge of accusation and
abuse that seems to be, from a party
standpoint, particularly undesirable.
Tho News, iu whoso sldo tho fact that
thu CiiU'h editor, Mr. Ilushncll, is chair
man of tho republican county central
committeo, is a thorn that sorely pricks,
charged Mr. llushnoll with a misappro
priation of campaign v funds, and Mr.
Dushucll, in his reply, pokes up whut ho
calls tho "Wcstermaun outfit," und
charges that the News had to be placated
during last year's campaign by ?!200
"boodlo" money. And tho News further
turns its diminutlvo batteries on Mr. R.
U. Graham. And thero are other
charges and unpleasuntesses; ull of
which, appears to us to bo out of place
ut this time. Mr. Smith, tho purty can
didate for sheriff, was not used properly;
but it wus something to elect tho rest of
tho tickot, and it would bo much better
to spend tho post election season in
glorification than in ubuso und villillca
tiou which can do no good.

tracted tho habit of consolidation, and
they havo novor got over it.

In an interview witli tho Washington

"Tho populists mean well, but too
many impructicables from ull parties
