There is no reaaou why any Gerinau voter iq America should UoK wiin alarm upon an army of 100,000 men in a great country like this. It bears no resemblance whatever to the arma ment of Germany, and there is no danger from conscription, whicn is looked upon with distinct disfavor by many Germans in their native land. There is all the difference in the world between the maintenance of a great standing army such as Germany supports and the military force which has been called into action in this country by unusual and unexpected conditions within the lat two years. There is no reason whatever to think that the martial opirit will evor attain such an ascendancy in the United States of America as it has roached in Germany, who?e ruler is a confirmed believer in the divine right of kings and in the supremacy of the eword.

POLITIC At OFFICE Mr. Rooaevelt declares that the state has the same right to regulate condi tions of life in factories as it has to de mand the erection of fire esc ipes. Mr. Bryan advocates miking the head of the department of labor a cabi net officer, which would necessarily make It a purely political office instead of, as at present, an office for the col lection aod dissemination of informa tion on the labor question. The present democratic commis sioner of labor, who has held his office through four national administrations, and whose reputation for accuracy and thoroughness is second to that of no statistician in the world, according to Mr. Bryan's argument,should be asked to stand down and that important bureau be turned over to a member of "the president's household." years ago, so he will Lincoln next winter. fool at home in The rank and file of the .'unionists are really not very anxious for Mr. Brvan to win.

It is not desired that there shall be any Gorman party or Irish party in American politics, or the arousal of any IN HIS first inaugural address. Presi dent Lincoln thus defined his concep tion of executivo responsibility: "Tho power confided to me will bo used to hold, occupy and possess the property anil places belonging to the govoru ment." As Lincoln did in 18G1, so President McKinlcy must do now. He must hold, occupy and possess the Philippines, property Mr. Bryan aided us to acquire. If Bryan was unwilling that the president hold this territory he should not have lobbied to acquire it. Conservative. NEHAWKA has organized a ladies' McKinley and Roosevelt c ub.

A MORE harmonious con vention than that in Nebraska Citv Tuesday was never held. Republicans are prepar ing for a decided victory in November. Congressman I'.ukkett has had three meetings in Cass county, all of which have been very largely at tended, standing room being at a premium. Bkvan's Philippine policy would place this country in a position where Aguinaldo could compel us to pay tribute or be in a continuous war with the powers. The program for the flag raising at Nehawka was carried out to the dot. The music and speaking were fine, and everybody seemed to havo a good time. Mr. Pollard and his assistants are to le congratulated on the success of the oc casion. Bryan's appeal for the "consent of tho governed" is the samo as that made in South Carolina when Presi- ! dent Jackson had to bring her to terms, and tho same as tho cry of the eleven southern states for tho right of secession. The !erriblo disaster at Galveston, Texas, is considered ono of the worst that has ever visited tho United States. The secretary of war has been instructed to supply rations and tents and everything possible is being done to assist the suffering people. Secretary Meiklejohn will put in about six weeks hard work cam paigning in Nebraska.

It will ad mit of no delay and will suffer no postponement. Wo accept the issue and again invite tho found money forces to join in winning another and we hope a permanent triumph for an honest financial system which will continue in violable tho public faith. It is our purpose to establish in the Philippines a govern ment suitable to the wants and conditions of tho inhabitants, and to prepare them for self-government, and to give them self-government when they are ready for it, and as rapidly as they are roady for it. There has been no time since the destruction of tho enemy's fleet when we could or should have left the Philippine archipelago. After the treaty of peace was ratified no power but congress could surrender our sovereignty or alienate a foot of the tertitory thus acquired. Every effort has been directed to their Filipino J peace and prosperity, their advancement and well-being, not for our aggrandizement or for pride of might, not for trade or com merce, not for exploitation, but for humanity ar.d civilization. The American: question is between duty and desertion. The American verdict will be for duty and against desertion for the republic against both anarchy and imorialism. Honest co-operation of capital is necessary to meet new bu-iness conditions, and extend our rapidly increasing loroign trade, but conspiracies and combinations intended to restrict business, create monopolies and control prices should be effect ively restrained. For labor a short day is better than a short dollar. Unless something unforeseen occurs to reduce our rev enues or increase our expenditures, the congress at its next session should reduce taxation very materially. We ought to own the ships for our carrying trade with the world, and we ought to build them in American shipyards and man them with American sailors. national prejudice. Mr. Bryan has not shown his usual good judgment and fairness by making the kind of an ap peal which he ventured at Milwaukee on Saturday. SENATOR THURSTON'S ROSE. NEBRASKA NUNE Indications That It Will Give Its Vote to McKinley. Pnbllo Sentiment Steadily Ckangtnff. Abuse ef Executive Authority. Omaha, Sept. 10.

The effort of the fusion campaign managers to stem the tide by trying to meet the logic of events with bug aboos and vagaries Is falling far short of accomplishing its purpose. , In the first place, the people of Ne braska are too intelligent to be duped In any suoh way. They know that the cry of "imperialism" and "militarism" Is only a scheme to divert attention from the real issues. They know that It Is intended for no other purpose than to keep them from thinking of the ter of The general verdict is that there is not a weak man on tho republican leg islative ticket and that it deserves un qualified support, not only from loyal republicans, Out from every citizen who wants the interests of the com munity subserved, rather than the private interests of outsido schemers.

AN enthusiastic meeting of the CAN KKYAN EXPLAIN TO FARMERS? In 1806 the corn crop in this country was J,JhJ,bo,ibj bushels, and only worth $191,000,907. In 1899 the corn crop in this country was 2,07S,143,933 bushels and worth $629,210,116. By these figures every farmer will observe that the 1896 crop of corn was 205,731,232 bushels greater than the crop of 1S99, but that tho crop of 1899 was worth $13-',203,143 more than the crop of 1S9G. It will not bo very difficult for the farmer to see and appreciate that Mr. McKinley's administration has b en one of prosperity. Mr. Bryan cannot say that this was the result of providence, or of nature's bounteous gift.

But advise that you wait and old rtble -distress of four years ago, ana from comparing the philosophy and prophecy of the "boy orator" in 1896, as to what terrible things would hap pen If McKinley was elected, with what really has happened. Knowing this, the people are turning their backs upon bugaboos and are giving prob lems associated with their domestic af fairs careful consideration. The people are asking themselves what guarantee have they, if Bryan is elected, that the terrible industrial and commercial distress of four years ago will not return? They are asking themselves why they should desert a wise leader and sound policy a policy that has brought good prices for all farm products, that has closed the free soup house and opened the factories to ten million la boring people for an unwise leader. and an unsound policy that, every time it has been tested and applied, has precipitated a financial and industrial crisis, has stilled the hand of labor and extinguished the fires in nearly every factory. They are asking themselves why they should reject that which has been proven to be for their best interest for that which history proves to be weighted down with injury and danger. There was a time when many of the people of Nebraska permitted others to think for them. They were too busy with their own personal affairs, or too confiding, to devote attention to polit ical problems. For that reason many honestly believed in the vagaries of Bryan in 1S9G. They accepted what he said as gospel truth without stop ping to consider for a moment. It is different" today. They have learned to the contrary in the school of experience. They have been taught to think for themselves, and, in doing this, they have discovered to what ex tent their confidence has been imposed upon. They have discovered that not one of Bryan's predictions of 1896 has come true. That he was wrong in each and every instance. lie told them McKinley's election would visit upon the country inconceivable disas ter. He told them that Just so sure as McKinley was elected this country would be visited by such suffering and distress as it had never before known. Results have demonstrated that this. to say the least, was a vicious and shameful imposition on public credul ity. NOTHING TO GAIN. The people of Nebraska know by this time that they have nothing to gain by voting for the Bryan electoral ticket. They know full well that es tablished policies of government are in such close sympathy with industrial conditions that they cannot be dls turbed without causing unrest, and they know further, that to substitute policies that are a tax on enterprise and energy for policies that are stimu lative means to do that which sober reason holds to be inimical to the pub lic weal. It is vastly more important to the voters of Nebraska that there shall be good markets and good prices for farm products, that labor shall be employed. that the money of the nation shall be free from spurious contamination and shall be the very best, that money may be had at a low rate of interest as a stimulant of Industry and as a relief to the debtor, than that the Philip pines shall be turned over to Aguin aldo's tribal government. Concerned as all patriotic Americans are in the proper solution of the Phil lpplne problem, the first and foremost thing to be considered is the welfare of the American people at home, espe cially since the McKinley adminlstra tion has demonstrated its ability and intention to adjudicate the Philippine question along that line most consist ent with American customs and tra ditions. There is; no danger, as regards the Philippines. That problem will be Smyth really Intended fo drive' trusts Into exile he would hardly indulge In the profitless practice of chasing phan toms about the country when he has any amount of material to work on right within the limits of his home community. It may be enjoyable sport for him, but it is rather expensive sport to the tax payers, who will have to go down into their pockets and pay the bills. ATTESTED PROSPERITY. Reports from the various towns and cities throughout Nebraska, bearing on the financial condition of the peo ple, go to Indicate that there has been a substantial increase In the earnings and savings of the people the last four years. Of the many reports received not one shows a decrease In the amount of money deposited. All show a substantial Increase. Four years ago money was a scarce article and the borrower, even on the best collateral found It 'difficult to negotiate a loan. Today money is abundant, and, what Is more significant, much of the money being loaned out, is, not the money of eastern capitalists as formerly, but money deposited by and belonging to the people of Nebraska. More than $30,000,000 is money belonging to peo ple of Nebraska. Nearly SO per cent of the mortgages held against Nebras ka collateral is held by Nebraska peo ple.

Since it has been discovered that the editor of the Des Moines Globe, a paper from which the fusion organs have been gathering campaign mate rial as a result of its Incendiary utter ances on imperialism, was formerly an Inmate of an asylum for the insane, the fusion editors have with a display of reluctance deserted him, and they now find themselves subjected to the humiliation of having quoted as au thority the irrational. Irrelevant and Insane opinions of an Insane mind. The Omaha World-Herald, which has devoted column after column of space to the reproduction of the edi torials of this poor unfortunate, after having learned that he was at one time an inmate of an asylum for the insane, and after knowing that his mental faculties have not as yet re covered their equilibrium, still persists in palming off his spurious opinions upon its readers. Other fusion papers have discovered their mistake and quit it. The World-Herald alone still keeps at it, presumably because It bad given up more space to the reproduction of his articles and was therefore all the more sadly taken In. Its readers, how ever, will hardly fall to hold it to ao count, even though partisan, for per sisting in filling its columns with the distorted conceptions of a disordered brain. It is no doubt the concensus of opinion that the fusion editors are abundantly able to distort facts, even to that extent as to reflect Insanity, without going into partnership with a person admittedly Insane. It Is safe to assume, though having discovered that the author of these ar ticles which they have been palming off on their readers is Irresponsible by reason of a disordered mentality, not one of the fusion editors will have the manhood to apologize to the public or to acknowledge the mistake. In attempting by this ruse to fore shadow the policy of the Republican party the fusion editors are less con slderate than humanity generally, for it is a well established principle of ethical jurisprudence that no one of unsound mind shall be held accounta ble for his words or deeds. In this In stance, however, not alone do they af fect to hold the lunatic accountable. but they persist in holding the Repub lican party accountable along with him. It is a flagrant imposition upon the public, nothing more. A VULNERABLE PRACTICE. The custom or practice which per mits officials to sell public property and not make a proper accounting of the funds to the treasurer and auditor is a vulnerable one at best. Surround ed by every safeguard possible it neV' ertheless affords an opportunity for the dishonest and designing official to rob the tax payers. In the reports that have been pub lished from time to time, concerning the management of the state lnstltu tions the last two years, evidence of this character stands out prominently In more than one Instance It has been discovered that property has been sold and the money misappropriated. Some of Governor Poynter's appointees have not been slow to make use of this op portunity to replenish their exchequer. Just to what extent this practice has been carried is not as yet fully known though there is evidence that much money has been diverted from the proper channel in this way. This custom or practice has been in vogue for some time, yet it is a most expensive one to the tax payers.
