The new high license law has closed

It is somewhat amusing to see how
persistently the Democratic papers keep

that he seldom says so more than once.

Evidently the sultan of Morocco has

With Blaine president of the United

The Republican members of the
House at last united upon a tariff bill.
All differences have been settled. All
questions vitally affecting the interests of
the whole countrj, as the tariff does, di
versity of opinion is inevitable. It was
so qn ihe tariff in 1739, 181G, 1824, 1842
and 18G1. At all of these times when
changes were made in custom duties,
compromises were n2eessary aiul it is nec
essary this year.
News comes from "Washington that
several American citizens in Peru are in
the most desperate perial. The finances
of that country are at the very lowest
ebb. Tiie paper money issued by the
government is worthless and the revenues
at the custom houses are collected by
bankers who advanced the funds to pay
the army at the time the city was be
sieged. Nearly all the railroads in Peru
are owned by American citizens and the
government in order to secure funds for
its absolute necessities, has seized upon
these roads and is running them for its
own profit against the protests of the
American owners This will give Mr.
Bayard one more chance to make an ass
of himself in conducting diplomatic ne
gotiations. lie will undoubtedly proye
himself to be as cowardlv and inefficient
as has already been charged against him.
IIeke is another trenchant reason why
'.he Mills' free trade bill should not pass.
It is an instrument of general iniquity in
'.he legislation pending in the House.
J" or instance, there-is little doubt that
the river and haibor bill, appropriating
(trying to steal) over $20,000,000, which
passed the House on Monday, was forced
through bv trading plunder lor "rivers
and harbors" for votes for the Mills'
bill. That is to say, the votes were
bought outright by the immaculate Mills'
reformers. The gross corruption shows
that the whole "reform" crowd arc not
only bent on forping the country into a
condition of commercial misfortune and
financial reaction, bt have no hesitation
in perpetrating the most scandalous ci
travagauce through official debauchery,
by use of the people's money. The cor
rupt extravagance of these democratic
retoi;)e:)3 was never approached by the
republicans. Turn the rascals out! Lin

From an outlook over the political

There is but little of the "free trails
theory" in the banks of republican Ne
braska. Through some mistake of the chairman
of the last republican state coiiventoin the

aving w.i condemn the policy ol tne
jn'otective tariff which favors the mo
nopolies of the east, as against the in
terests of the farmers of the west, and
we favor a reduction of the tariff." Some
one of the same calibre moved its adop
tion and was seconded by some one of
the kin. The chairman then stated the
motion.
Julius S. Collcy, the well-known law
yer of Omaha, arose and in one of his
best speeches, held the vast convention
spellbound by his condemnation of such
a free trade plank, and said; "From
hearing the leading of such a plank I
w ould think I had just entered a demo
cratic national convention south of the
Mason and Dixon line," and wound up
by asking how the republican party
could favor the nomination of James G.
Biaine ami allow such a plank in their
platform." Mr. Cooley moved that the
committee on platform bo instructed to
return and bring in a plank favoring
the protection of the American, laborer
against the pauper labor of Europe, and
so protect our American industries
against factories and the competition of
those European factories where the labor
crs worked for starvation wages." The
motion was seconded by almost every
straight republican in the convention.
Charles. II. Van Wyck, ex-scnaior, ppoke
in favor of the free trade dank and was
hissed. Judge Cooley's mention of
Blaine as standard bearer created the
greatest enthusiasm, and the conyenti n
fairly roared their approbation at his
motion, and the mention of the '"Plumed j
'
Knight." The motion of Mr. . C o!ev
was put and carried without opposition.
At the recent state convention of re

a resolution pledging the convention ana ;

In the opinioiof Speaker Curlise, Con-

A"gi;-t will be required for the t im:i-.:c-
tiou of bu-iinej-s that can not properly In;
po-ipoiied to the next session. Th rcn-
son for this condition of things, Mr. Car
lisle goes on to assert, is to be found in
"Hie iinwi. 1 !;iks- of the Hou.-e, and tiin
growing tendency of both sitba to make
it a field of partisan debate for campaign
purposes;" but Mich an explanation will
not serve to excuse the democratic ma
j i i i y of that body for a w aste of time
and iielee' of public interests which it
j mi
i
t easily h ive prevented. The .Sen-
ale is certainly not opeii to criticism of
tii it sort. It lias delt promptly witli
every ni;isurf hut has come before il.
If il ha-; devoted a ood deal of time to
1 in' d.:.-' u- iiin of political questions, it
has no thereby caused legislation to bo
dei ied in any degree; and the fact that
such delay has occurred is chargeable en
tirely to the democrats in the House, who
have prefi rred profitless talk to practical
work.
When the republicans had control of
the House the sessions were never pro
longed in this foolish and discreditable
manner. They attended to the public
busi i ss with a well defined conception
of their duty to the people and an honest
p'i:po-o to perforin it. They never al
lowed the appropriation bills to bo kept
back for live months, and never pcrmit
te 1 partis:.n consideration to interfere
with the progress of necessary legislation
i:i any direction. I f they were in power
at th" pn sent time there would be no
room fur the kind of criticism which
Speaker Carlisle makes. It is his own
party alone that is to blame for a situa
t:i': t hat ho so justly lam-mis and con
demns. There has been nothing in the
way of the easy and rapid treatment of
all m.-asmes of public interest and im
portance but democratic want of indus
try, iiit.-USgcnce and courage. Speaker
Carlisle himself is not wholly innocent
in the mailer. To some extent, in fact,
h is directly responsible for the differ
ent way in which the business of the ses
sion has been delt with. He has suffered
lime to bo squandered in filibustering
whsn be might have prevented it, and
contributed in other wars to the general
j dibit oi iii' ss when his ollicbd duty de
manded different action at his hands. lie-
has it in his power now to shorten the
se-i.-'on considerably by enforcing the
r.ib.-s and requiring the members to do
bu-:nt.-s in a business-like way; but it is
not at all likely that he will use his
authority for a purpose so evidently con
tr.iry to the ta-tes and wishes of his party
fts-ociatcs. Globe Democrat.
It turns out now that Mr. Fuller, Mr.
Ci j . cl -.ua's nominee for Chief Justice of
the United States, has a Copperhead re
cord of the most pronounced type and it
is the tendency of the demcratic party to
honor such men that should bring it un-
dc: ' .-iiS;jii ion w ith all good, loynl p o
pl . Its marked prefference for confed
erates at the south and copperheads at
tho t;o:th, ought to convince anyone that
the party its. If is not what it should lie
as a national organization. Put your
linger on a national appointment of the
fr.-t imgnituile, made by Mr. Cleveland,
r'v.l wii!: very few exceptions tho indi
vidual preferred has either a good record
as a confederate south or as a coppcr-h-T.d
north, during war times. The men
in the democratic party who have good i
dean records as Union men during the
war, must, as a rule, take a back seat.
Confederate and copperhead records are
always at a premium with the democrat
ic party.
