Otoe county is enjoying a very

Christopher Columbus was a
great man in 1492, but when IS'.M
rolls around if "Chris" could be
with us then he would feel consid
erably puffed up on account of the
spread they are making over him
in Chicago.
The German dignitary who says
that the United States seems deter
mined to secure the lion's share of
the trade of Central and South
America, to the exclusion of Ku

The Republican party is running
the United States, antl this is one of
the things the party is here for.
The Nebraska City Press says
that Al Kwan has returned from
Kansas City with affidavits of the
typo, proof-reader and cashier of
the Sunday Sun to the effect that he
did not write the libelous article for
which he was recently found guilty
by the district court, but that one
Charles Copenharve did write it.
These matters were presented to
Judge Chapman yesterday, together
with a motion to set aside the ver
dict rendered against Kwan. We
should like to know what Copen
harve has to say about it, and won
der if he could not prove a clearer
alibi than Kwan.
If Cleveland had done nothing
else, his appointment of Lamar to
the supreme bench of the United
States ought to be enough to damn
him in the eyes and hearts of all
loyal men and women in this broad
land. In one of Lamar's latest
speeches he spoke of that arch
traitor, Jeff Davis, the man above
all others to blame not only for the
war but for the brutal starvation of
Union soldiers at Libbyand Ander
sonville, as one "whose disembodied
spirit still walks the land, holding
a scepter of sovereignty unequaled
by any ruler." Think of such
virulent rot, from a justice of the
supreme court of the United States
It is more than despicable; it is dis
graceful.
From Hamilton to Sherman,
From the day when, as an un
organized mob, it assailed" and
maligned Alexander Hamilton for
placing the credit of the country on
a sound basis, the Democratic party
has demanded "cheap money," and
the cheaper the better. It drove
two national banks out of existence
because the currency they gave the
country was too safe and stable.and
it would like to deal the present na
tional banking system its death
blow. It will fail . however because
the conservative business interests
of the country will stand with the
Republican party and demand, as
Senator Sherman says, "good money
and plenty of it." Philadelphia

The Mills County (la.) Journal,
an old time democratic paper
printed at Glenwood, in fact the
only democratic paper in Mills
county, has flopped over to the
alliance, creating great consterna
tion in the ranks of the mossback
party over there. Mr. La Chapelle,
the editor, is roundly abused hy
the rank and file for his apostacy.
After a close and confidential com
munion with the democratic party
for many years, Mr. La Chapelle
found the democratic party was bad
in principle and in fact, so th,at we
can but congratulate him on the
good sense shown by deserting the
old clan. If Mr. La Chapelle keeps
on in a progressive spirit lie will
land in the ranks of the republican
part later on. It is only a question
of time.
A leading democrat at Washing
ton who is well qualified to speak
of the purposes of his party says
that it is the intention of the demo
cratic leaders in the next house of
representatives to have two cardinal
points in their policy. The first
will be to have a series of investi
gations which will cover every
branch of the public service, out of
which they expect to make a great
d 'al of political capital. The
second is to prevent any positive
legislation so that the record of the
democrats will be colorless with re
spect to positive measures t b
enacted in the next congress. 1 iicy

A FIRE FROM THEHEAFI.
Our free trade friends of
Tribune, Times, and Herald
though they are credited by
London press with being
the
. al-
the
able
aids" to the Knglish cause, are
really receiving very little comfort
from any of their friends across the
water unless, perhaps, it is com
fort of such character as they do
not desire to parade before the pub
lic. Certainly neitherthe testimony
of the public men of Kngland nor
the press of that country bear them
out in their assertions as to tht
effect of the McKinlev bill on the
trade of Kngland or America.
They have been asserting that
the bill has already worked a great
damage to America, but Mr. Lane
Hooker, who is consul general for
Great Hritain at New York, betrs to
differ with them. He has made an
official report to the home office in
which he talks about the effect o
the "new and higher duties" (the
McKinlev bill) in a way that must
make George Jones and Joseph Mc
dill smooth their hair the wrong
way. Here is what he talks:
The trade of New York has been
influenced by the new and higher
duties which have effectually bene
fited American manufacturing in
terests. New life, he adds, has been
imnarted to the cotton and woolen
industry everywhere but especially
says Mr. Hooker, is this the case in
the Southern States where new tex
tile mills nre troinir up with sur
prising activity, while all the old
mills are beinir operated on full
time. The silk industry, Mr
Hooker's report says, in conclusion
is the onlv exception to this state
of general prosperity.
Onlv think of it. Here are two
hard blows in one little paragraph
"Cotton and woolen industries
greatly improved; in fact, "the only
exception to this state of prosper
ity" is what? "The silk industry."
The silk industry, which theMcKin-
ley bill did not disturb but allowed
to remain where former tariffs had
olaced it. lamruishes. Hut the cot-
ton and the woolen industries
g r
which the McKinlev bill has been
ho much abused for touching, are
ver3" prosperous greatly improved
Mr. Hooker is officially located in
New York, and George Jones
should at once cite him to appear
at the editorial sanctum of the
Times and show cause why he is
thus discrediting the editorials of
that paper. Mr. Medill should write
to his old friend, Mr. Jones, at once
and insist that he call Hooker to
account for thus firing upon them
from the rear. The cohorts of free
trade can stand anything else
better than that. Their armor does
not protect them in that quarter.

A BEAUTIFUL and imposiiigbronze
statue f Henry Ward Heecher was
unvailed in Brooklyn yesterday,
it is the work of John Quincy Adams
Ward who has devoted nearly three
years to the task for which he had
prepared by taking a death-mask
of Mr. Beecher's face. The statue
represents him in a characteristic
attitude, in which he was often seen
when entering Plymouth church.
He wears.the cape overcoat which so
often enveloped his figure, and
carries his soft felt hat in his hand.
The face is somewhat idealized to
express the general idea of the man
in distinction from a mere portrait
statue. With the central memorial
are grouped ideal figures which re
presents the characteristics of the
man. two cnuaren are at tne leit
of the statue upon the lower part of
the pedestal paying their simple
tributes of lore and admiration for
the strong and kindly face beaming
down upon them. At the right side
of the pedestal kneels the figure of
l slave girl in a position of rever
ence and laying the tributes of a
palm branch at the feet of the cen
tral figure. All the fiarures abou1
the pedestal are of life size, and the
statue of Mr. Heecher is heroic in
proportions, standing nine feet
high.
The pedestal is of equal height,
and was designed by Richards M.
Hunt. It is of Quincy granite,
highly polished
If the government scientific
sharps will kindly refrain from ex
ploding any more rain balloons
until after the corn is laid by and
the wheat harvested the agricultur

tending a vote of thanks. Under
present meteorological conditions it
seems like trifling with providence
to go on with these experiments.

ENGLAND. '

large.-1 city in Gre.it Biitnitior in
the world dependent on manufac
tures without the ;.it of a shipping
trade Manchester also is noted as
being the birthplace of the political
formula oi free trade. .knr many
years the free trade party in Kng
land was spoken of as "the Man
chester school." For many years
John Bright represented Manches
ter in parliament, and its manufac
turing appendix of Stockport sent
Richard Cobden to the house of
commons.
These introductory remarks are
made that the Tribune, Times, and
Herald, lately spoken of by the Lon
don Financial Times as "strong
sided championsof British interests
in Chicago," may receive the figures
which we are about to present with
that respectful' assent which they
are accustomed to yield to any in
formation of Knglish origin. The
figures are condensation from a
Parliamentary report upon the ex
ternal trade of foreign countries as
compared with that of Great Britian,
and, lest our city contemporaries
should suspeel that the condensa
tion have been made by American
friends of the protective doctrine,
we will add that they .ire quoted
from the Manchester Courier of J tine
In, lS'.ll, and are the work of Mr. Geo.
Augustus llaig, who, certainly, is
neitherjan American nor a protec
tionist. Before giving the figures
it is needful to say that free trade
has been in practical operation for
a little more than thirtj-five years
in Great Britian, and that the statis
tics about to be presented cover
these specific thirtj--fiveyears. Ten
countries of Kurope are so far from
the practice of the free trade as to
be, in Mr Haig's estimation, entitled
to rank as protective; they are
France, Belgium, and Holland.
Russia, A ust ria-Hungray,Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Spain, and Portu
gal.
In 1So4 these protective countries
imported goods to the value of 179,
614,()(H). In 18S9 they imported to the
value of 029,1 l'MXTO.
Increased imports of ten protec
tive countries during thirty-five
years H9."05,(XX).
In 18.")4 Great Britain imported to
the value of lo2,HS9,0(Kl, and in 1S89
to the value of 127,tS,(Ki0.
Increased imports of the non-protected
country during thirty-five
years 27n,249U)0.
In 18.11 the ten protective coun
tries exported goods worth 185,709,-
(XX). In 1SS9 to the value of 621,
U12.090.
Increase of exports from protec
tive countries in thirty-live vefirs

In 18o4 Great Britain s exports

314,705,000.
increase ot exports in a non-pro
tective country during thirty-live
years, tiyt,Bo,iXKi.
What becomes of the free trade
dogma that no country greatly can
increase its exports while it levies
tariffs on goods imported from
other countries when it is submit
ted to the test of figures which
prove that the countries of Kurope
that do levy high tariffs on imports
have increased their exports at
more than double the rates
achieved by the only country that
has practical free trade?
As frequently has been remarked,
the British free trader seldom
juggles with figures; he gives them
their true value, and looks their
consequences full in the face; and,
though it hurts him, confesses that
the protective nations are increas
ing the volumes of their trade more
rapidly than the one free trade
country of civilization. Your
Briton is a free trader only- because
he can not raise enough food for
his workmen to eat. So longas the
population of Britain could be fed
by the farms ef Britain your Briton
was a stanch protectionist. He
now desires that we should become
free traders; but he would laugh
at our simplicity if we yielded to
his desire.
We again commend these British
statistics to the consideration of
American free traders. Inter-Ocean
THE
FUTURE OF THE
ENGLISH
LANGUAGE.
As to the English of the future,
who knows what the years may
bring forth. The language is alive
and growing and extending on all
sides, to the grief of the purist and
the pedant, who prefer a dead lan
guage that thej' can dissect at will,
and that has cotne to the end of its
usefulness. The existence of Briti
cisms and of Americanisms and of
Australianisms is a sign. of healthy
vitality. "Neither usage," said Pro-
lessor Freeman
after contrasting
Americanisms and Briti
cisms, "can be said to be in itself
better or worse than the other.
Kach usage is the better in the
land in which it has grown of it
self." An unprejudiced critic, if
such a ne could haply be found,
would probably discover an equal
ity of blemish on either side of the
ocean more precision and pedan
try on the one side, and a more
(hiring carelessness on the other.
To declare a single standard of
speech is impossible. -From "Briti
cisms and Americanisms," by linin
der Matthews, in Hnrper's Magazine
for Inly.
"BETTER" support the woi kingmeu ,
in almshouses fit once," says the
Plattsmouth Journal, than to in-;
crease their wages by a ;
tariff. How do you like that kii d
of talk, laboring men? How do you j
appreciate friendship that tells
you you hail better work for the i
same price of the half-paid, half-fed '
labor of Kurope, or else go to an
almshouse at once? That is pure
democratic doctrine, however, and j
so long as yon assist that party you j
may expect to drift towards thisj
verv -almshouse to which you are
so 11 ippantl' sentenced by the party
spokesman in this city.
The New York Post embraces an
early occasion to lnxlge by declar
ing that the success of the republi
can party in Ohio this fall does not
necessarily make a victory for the
same party certain in 1892. At the
same time the democrats in Iowa
are fighting the present campaign
on the theory that sucess this year
means thecertain triumph of their
party in the presidential year. Be
tween the two statments it is eas
to find the truth. Both states are
republican fit heart, find a victory
this year will make it easy to keep
them in line in '92. A democratic
victory this year will be simply a
notification that the republican will
have to work a little harder than
they otherwise would in the presid
ential campaign. Kx.

at a cost of ?r. Slncu that timo it li.-w

become a slranncr to our household. I
lielieve it to ho Hie best medicine on earth.

FOR DEBILITY,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is a certain cure, when the complaint origi
nates in impoverished blood. " I was a
jrreat sufferer from a low condition of the
blood and general debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that I wan unlit for work. Noth
ing that I did tor the complaint helped mo
so much as Ayer's Sarsaparilla, a few bottles
of which restored me to health and strength.
I take every opportunity to recommend this
medicine in similar cases." C Evick, 14 K.
