TnK net decrease in the public debt during the month of August, as an nounced by the official statement, was only $833,073. The method of compu tation ia on the "less cash in the treasury ' plan. A comparison with the statement published a month ago, however, shows that the 4 J per cent bonds have been cut down nearly $13,000,000 in the interval, and the 4s more than 7,000,000. or about $20,000,000 in all. This puts an altoge ther different face on the matter, and the record for the month decidedly creditable. THE TICKET. The professionals got in their work yesterday at Wabash to the quein's tastr. The honest farmer was religated to a bick seat and stoed no show with the combine that was running the machine Frank White, after two terms" in the house, wanted a third; the granger whs crowded out and he received the nomi nation. W. B. Shryock, "the festive Willie," has long wanted an office aud although he had been unauimously elected chairman of the county ceotrnl committee, was a member of the state central committer, and the congressional committee, yet all this, instead of satis fying, only seemed to whet the appetite of the valiant bourbon, and he was nomi nated for representative as a running mate for Mr. White. "Necessity" Mc' Clintock is a farmer but we violate n- confidence when we state that he inn wise approaches Sam'l Thomas as to abi lity or as a representative of hi class. Jacob Trietsch, for commissioner, is a strong nomination and will make a lively race for th it office. II. D. Travis, for county attorney, is an able lawyer, resi ding in Weeping Water, but he will not gather the luscious plums of office this time. All in all the ticket is not one that appeals to the masses for support, but is of the aristocratic cold blooded order that will be snowed under at the polls in November. In his speech at Oxford, on Saturday McKeighan referred to that portion of sacred history wherein the Lord cam manded the Israelites to borrow vast amounts of golden treasure of the Egyp tians and then decamp with the valu ables, intimating that such a mode of distribution of the wealth of our nation might be approved by the Lord today. If this thing goes on much longer Mc Keighan will be known as "the apostle of crime." Kearney Hub. PROPOSED ALASKAN EXPLORA TION. Inter Ocean. By all the powers of diplomacy, as lately exhibited in the masterly "conduct of the Behring Sea question by Mr. Blaine, our government i9 stoutly defending its seal interests on our far northwestern coasts. The seal is part of the wealth of our own "dark continent," and we do well to protect such property. If the fringe is so valuable what of the whole garment? Alaska is truly the terra in cognita of American geography. That its shores are grandly beautiful and pictur esque our incresing army of :ourists thither testify; that it is unrevealed ter ritory such few topographic expeditions a are sent there give proof enough. Grant that it is a country we must know, and, if nature favor, settle and develop, and we are come to a spot where we say, "This is a national matter. What will the government do about it?" Even now the government is being asked to do something; in short to make into its unknown interior the most scien tific explorations. The people directly interested in the prosecution of so ad vanced a work are General Cutcheon, chairman of the military committee of the house; Ciptain P. II. Ray, uf the Eigth United States Infantry; Lieuten ant L. W." Kenon, of the Sixth United States Infantry, late of General Crook's staff; and ex-fficio, if not personally, the secretary of war. It is proposed that an expedition, led by Captain Ray an.l Lien tenant Kennon, consisting of from fifty to one hundred enlisted men, guidi h, etc., and accompanied by a corps of txerts in astronomy, topography. gel ho togniphy, etc., iml!, by steam, r the Yukon, penetrate into the unx in- terior of that vast possession of nearly 600,000 square miles. Making soma point on the Yukon a base of supplies, the expedition would spend at least thrte years in getting a scientific knowledge of Alaska. To equip such a party with the proper outfit for bo extended and accu rate surrey it would cost about $100,000. At least one valuable discovery which such an expedition would make would be as to the susceptibility cf those hyper borean latitudes to agricultural develop ment. Upon the face of the schema at least this project promoted by General Cutcheon and others has much to com mend it to popular indorsement. What has become ot the republican stte central committe? "Necessity" McClintic will not chal lenge our friend Thomas to discuss the tariff The state fair is now in running order though not much of a crowd will be on the ground until next week. Col. John C. Watson should organize and get things moving or el! get out of the way and we will get some one that will . Fifteen thousand old veterans are said to have been in line yesterday at the Grand Island re-union. The boys are evidently having a good time. Skyrock is what a democrat pro nounced it in second'ng the cooiination of W. B. Shryock. They ought to get acquainted and such mistakes would not occur. What's the matter with pulling off two of the Avoca statesmen who are can didates for county commissioner and thus give Sheldon and Trietsch a fair untrammeled race. Frank E. White personally is a very clever fe'low but the people will not stand a third term. Cass county is full of clever fellows that are all right polit ically and are not third termers. Thk Pine tree state votes next Monday, and the democrats as usual are claiming everything in sight. Let Maine set the pace and the Union will keep it up but it will not be to the step of the democrat ic music. By Yeomans aud A. L. Pound of Lincoln are organizing a detective asso ciation that will have branches all over the state. It is expected to be a close corporation, whose motto will be, "Let no guilty man escape." The telegraph announces that the car penters' strike now only continues as n matter of principle. The "hifalutin" principle strike usually goes hungry to bed before it is over, while the practical rightful, reasonable demand always sue ceeds. Cou Mathbw G bring, of Chatta nooga. Tenn., is in the city for a few days. The colonel used to be a hide bound defhocrat and was once a csndi date for county attorney in that party, the (hay) scales have fallen I'roai his eyes and he promises to become a useful, pa triotic citizen. It appears from an interesting table of statistics just issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission that the railroads of this country now gie employment to 704,743 workmen, which implies support for at least 3,000,000 persons. The mag nitude of the railway interest, and its important relation to the general welfare are thus forcibly indicated. The Indiana democrats have adopted the longest platform of the season, and yet it doesn't contain a word in explana tion of the fact that they have increastd the state debt from $4,000,000 to $$,000 000 within the last eight years and that they are now vainly trying to sell $G00, 000 of bonds to meet a deficiency of rev enue for state expenses. Neb. City Press. The Newport, Ky., branch of the Addyston Pipe and Steel Work9 will this week begin turning out the largest pipe ever attempted in this country, being five feet in diameter almost double the larg est size hertofore made. Each pipe will be twelve feet four inches long. The thickness will be one and one-eishth inches. The weight of each section will be bx tons. The ladle used in making the cast will hold nine tons of molten metal. .The pipe goes to Milwaukee to be used in obtaining a water supply from the lake. Eight hundred lengths are to be made, or 4,800 tons. One of the favorite "arguments" made by the young Mr. O'Bryan and other wise men here in the west in favor of a re form here in the tariff is a statement of the enormous wealth of Mr. Carnegie and an enumeration of the good things that the pig iron millionaires sometimes have for dinner. They fancy that this sort of thing is so convincing that it ought to end the debate. It will be noticed that these orators abstain religiously from mentioning the profit made in the iron and steel busi ness in England. At the annual meet ing of the British iron and steel institute mention was made of a company in Shef field that had made profits enough to re turn sums equal to its entire capital every two months. This concern bad no inter est in patents and yet the capital was returned eighty-one times in twelve years that had elapsed since its organi zation. When the iron and steel men of Amer ica begin to make such profits it will be time to talk about adopting some means of choking them off before they absorb the entire country. Lincoln Journal. The southern papers are shouting in glee over what thy call the death of the forre bill. It saves them from the terror of "having bayonet9 at the polls " It 9 I remarkable how sensitive tho democrats have become over "bayonets at the polls" since Mr. Lodge introduced his election bill. A northern man would think, fr-m the howl, that the southern elections were singularly quiet and peaceable. But last January, when there was an eloc tion in Jackson, Miss., the Jackson Cla rion, democratic organ of the town and state, said: The Itaokin Ranijers will be here on Monday to see there Is a fair election. The Madison Guards will be here on Monday to see tbere Is a fair election. The Kaymoud ltifles will be here Monday to see there Is a fair electleD. V The C linton Corps will be her Monday to see there Is a f aireleci ion. Th !:d wards UraKons will be here Monday to see there is a fair election. Who cares if the McGill men (the republi cans) don.t like it? What re ihey going to do about it. whether they like it or not? It shall be a democratic victory. The democratic papers, neither north nor south, feared bayonets at the polls last January, because tlity were demo cratic bayonets in :he interest of the dem ocratic ticket, not official bayonet9 in the interest of fnir and honest elections. The bayonets at Jackson, Miss., on Jan. 6 were for the tame purpose that the con stitutionl convention is there now to rob the colored man of the right to vote and have his vote counted. Inter Ocean. GEOGRiPHicvr.LT the new born demo cratic ticket is a hoodoo. Dwyek's friends rustled but the deal was not put up that way. The Cass count peopleg ticket, gotten up by land monopolist Todd, does not seem to be setting the prairies on fire. Cot. Connor performed the lion-lamb act to perfection when he placed Frank E. White in nomination for representa tive. The west half of the county will have no U9( for the democratic ticket; they have not been represented except through the person of Necessity McClintic. Let republicans drop all differences and pull together for their ticket; there is no excuse for cuttiug and slashing on our county and legislative ticket. "Nfxessitt" McCmntic was nominat ed for the senate yesterday by the demo cratic hosts, after P. E, White and W. B. Shryock had both refused the nomina tion. Tom Walling reluctantly concludes that his fine rustling proclivities do no extend farther than the primaries but then Tom i9 young, he may come out all right y t. The hand orrjan grind of young Mr. Bryan is loosing its sweetness on the summer air Pretty Poll on "the poor farmer" and '-robber tariff" grows very monotinous alter a time. Clerk Campbell, of the supreme court, has seltled the deputy contest by selecting Mr. Rose, who wa9 deputy un der Mr. Leese. and whose qualifications are first class. Mr. Campbell will make the office of clerk and reporter of the supreme court a first clas9 oflice and is the right man in the right place. The Lincoln Call seem9 to be of opin ion that the Omaha Bee is quiotly for Jim Boyd for governor. Mr. Rosewatc r however, announced the other day that his decks were closed and his guns double shotted, and that a general bom bardment would commence in due time. Time will solve the very uncertain prob lem however. Speaker Reed's account of his stew ardship to his Maine constituents is terse and convincing. He shows that the old party has fulfilled its pledges made when Mr. Harrison wa9 nominated, and that the work cf this congress in the shape of practical beneficial legislation exceeds that of all other bodies during the last twenty years. THE ALLIANCE'S FOLLY. Chicago Tribune. What is the matter with the alliance people that they cannot use their own common sense and their own reasoning powers? Why do they pick out as their guides demagogue jack lawyers on the one hand and long-haired fiat crank9 on the other, who are leading them straight to the deepest depths of folly? If they will brush away these bats and screech-1 owls that are flying about them and do I their own thinkine they maymake blund ers al men do but they will not be guilty-of this supreme and howling fol- Tlrc arc pleased to Of Staple and Fancy Dry Good is complete in every particular Never before have we tdiown as lino a lineot DRESS GOODS In newest fall shades.

The handsomest line of Ingrain and Krussel carpet ever shown in the city at the very low est prices. ly of demanding that congress do some thing the necessary effect of which would be to make their condition far worse than it is now. Kem, the farmers' candidate for con gress, says "there are farmers who would never haye anything even if they could grow a dollar on eyery cornstalk" This remaik coming from K-m is not ob jectionable, probably; but if a speaker, or pper, of aEy other party had made such a statement, this same man Kem would have traveled the whole district over to tell the farmers what an insult bad been cast upon them.--Xeligh Ad vocate. The first tariff ever levied in America was retaliatory. It worked like a charm and resulted in bringing John Bull on his knees in supplication before us and he is still there in a pitiable attitude crying out: "We'll never do so again if you'll just let up." And now a threat of retaliation from this country has found its way into France, and has resulted in causing all the leading journals and statesmen of that country to advocate the immediate and unconditional repeal of the prohibitory tariff on American pork. Wilber Republican. Republicans haye excellent grounds for asking the people of the country to continue them in control of the house of representatives. See the important measures which the house has passed at this session; the tariff bill, the silver bill, the federal election bill, the national bankruptcy bill, the bill relieving the supreme court, the bills admitting four new states, the original package bill, the meat inspection bill, the agricultural re lief bill, the bill against adulterated food, the anti-trust bill, the public lands bill, and hundreds of minor bills. As soon as the republicans obtained control of the house the prosperity of the country began to inbrease, and so it will continue to do as long as they retain that control. These are facts that should net be for gotten. Madison Chronicle. Bucklen's Arnica Salve- The Best Salve in the world for Cuts Ttrnip finre. Ulcer. Salt Rheum. Fever Sores. Tetter.
