Tin: Omaha lice did not take a
very active part in the recent cam

like the Journal, "it don't like a
bolter nohow."
A Democratic Congress.
When a republican like Senator
AMrich of Rhode Maud, says fear
lessly and publicly that he wouldn't
, care very much if the democrats
i did capture the next house, you can
bet the republican leaders are pretty
badly jumbled up. The democrats
tile state 01 .e- Have Utile or no ciiruiee lowiuiiie
v creditably that 1 senate in the Sixtieth congress, so
Tin: democrats throughout the
entire nation are for W. J. I'.ryan
for president. The papers that
opposed him in lX'fo, with. but one
or two exceptions, are out and out
for him now.
Tin: day has passed when party
name will lead men blindly to the
ballot box to vote against their own
interests ami the interests of their
locality for the purpose of building
up trusts and monopolies.
I,i;t the mayor designate a clean
ing up day, as is done in many oth
er cities, and let every citizen who
has any pride in his home or his
town clean up his premises on the
day designated. Do we meet with
a second
Tin: Omaha l'.vening News edi
tors must have felt very cheap when
the returns were all in last night,
to know how little they accomplish
ed the in abusive policy adopted by
that paper in an attempt to defeat
Jim Rililman for mayor.
Tin: result of the election in
Omaha, to some extent, can be tak
en as an indication of what may be
expected in the result of the elec
tion in November next. The peo
ple of Nebraska are getting awful
tired of republican ring rule.
Won in-r if Norris llrown would
ask for an order restraining the
political combination which has
placed its trust in him, and is at
present trying to secure his nomin
ation for United States senator?
"Iltisler" should "let no guilty
man escape."
A dkmocratio earthquake gave
the Omaha republicans a pretty se
vere jolt yesterday, and it shook
the llenson forces pretty lively. It
was of the same character as that
which will make a visitation upon
the state house corruptionists next
fall and hurl them from power.
Now that the supreme court has
become unite handy with its re
straining orders, and has regarded
the lumber association, under the
meaning of the law, what is the
matter with restraining the opera
tion of unholy republican and rail
road combines in Nebraska? Most
certainly they are against public
policy.
Tm: report of State Treasurer
Mortenscn of the condition of the
treasury and the amount of business
done during the month shows that
outside of the temporary school
fund the other funds of the state
contain only 42,019. The tempo
rary school fund contains $.M7,5J5. -50
w hich will be apportioned out on
the third Monday of the present
month to the various school districts
of the state. At this tune this fund
is several thousand dollars in excess
of what it was at the same time a
year ago and the fund to be appor
tioned will therefore be correspond
inlgy larger. In the general fund
there is only $41.12, while every
cent of the permanent school fund
is drawing interest for the state.
There was received in the insane
hospital fund a total of 7 cents dur
ing the month, and this 7 cents was
received under an old tax law now
repealed.
I in; astounding assertion was
made in Washington last Saturday
night that President Roosevelt was
"jobbed" by Senator Aldrich, of
Rhode Island, leader of the railroad
forces, into surrender in the railroad
fight. It has developed that .Sena
tor Allison, of Iowa, did not draft
the "broad court-review" amend
ment credited to him. lie does not
now accept. the sponsorship. Reti
cence among the senators renders
it difficult to trace the exact par
entage, though the amendment is
! understood to be the joint produc
tion of Senators Knox and Spooner
Not a single republican nor demo
cratie exponent of a radical rate
bill indorses the provision. Hut
the republicans now, excepting La
b'ollette, will probably be forced to
vote tor it. Senator .udricn, by
contriving that it be offered to the
president as the "Allison amend
ment," clad broad-court review, so
to speak, in sheep's clothing. Mr
Roosevelt snapped at the bait.
Onk reason why the teople of
Nebraska desire a change in admin
istration of affairs this fall is that
thev think it about time to take a
peep at the books. They desire
to know where all funds have gone,
and they know the only way to get
a correct statement of the condition
of affairs is to oust the republicans
from power.
Tm: other day a delegation from
republican congressional campaign
committee, headed by the chairman.
Representative Sherman of New
York , called on .Senator Aldrich
and begged him tearfully to allow
the bill to remove the tax on de
naturicd alcohol to pass the senate.
Aldrich turned them down cold and
hard, and, w hen they told him that
the failure of the measure to pass
congress at this session would effect
the chances of electing a republican
house next autumn, the senator
from Rhode Island intimated that
he would not care very much if the
democrats did win.
In discussing the matter of the
state indebtedness, the Hastings
Democrat advances some very truth
ful assertions which are worthy the
serious consideration of every man
w ho hopes to see the day when an
honest effort will be made to reduce
the debt instead of an annual in
crease, as is the case under the party
who are administering affairs solely
in their own interests. The Dem
ocrat truthfully savs: "Would it
e possible for a republican adminis
tration at Lincoln to collect enough
money to satisfy all hands, fill al
the leaks, supply all the grafts am
have something left to apply on the
public debt? In forty vears this has
never happened. While the fusion-
ists had full charge of Nebraska af
fairs a few $100,000 were paid on
the public debt, depreciated state
warrants were brought to a pre
mium, taxes were reduced, and the
state finances were placed upon a
creditable basis. The republicans
then came into power, and imme
diately came an era of extravagance
and profligacy, taxing and spending
the public funds, shouting pros
perity all the while, until the whole
tax-eating bunch was red in the
face. The increased state debt
proves the truth of the statement
made by the democratic press in
the last five ears regarding misrule
in Nebraska." The plain state
ments of fact, and the correct con
clusions drawn bv the Democrat
should set the people of the state
to seriously thinking. Prejudice
should be cast aside, and the people
should inform themselves as to the
true condition of affairs. If they
will do this the state house ring at
Lincoln w ill lc hurled front power
too qiick for the grafters to tarry
long enough to tell the tale.

Mr. Aldrich knows however that
in the meantime the Dingley tariff
must be revised. He knows that
the feeling against Dingleyism is so
strong in the west that if a demo
cratic house is not elected next fall
to inaugurate a revision, the reptib-
ican house is likely to legin the
work, and that the demand of a re
publican house would receive more
attention in the republican senate
than the same demand coming from
a democratic house.
Mr. Aldrich knows, moreover,
that tariff revision, no matter by
w hat party set on foot, must neces
sarily cause some temporary inter
ruption of business, and he may
shrewdly prefer to throw the odium
thereof on the democratic party. He
nay figure it out in his mind that
the standpat republicans will be
able to collect a vastly larger cam
paign fund for the presidential cam
paign of loos if the beneficiaries of
Dingleyism are alarmed by a little
democratic tariff revision in the con
gress which will meet eleven months
before the election.
The logic of Mr. Aldrich's indif
ference to the composition of the
next house lies in the fact that the
republicans have about sucked their
monopoly orange dry for the pres
ent, and are, perhaps, willing for
the democrats to hold the rind
while they hunt a new orange.
They are not likely to get the new
orange in loos, for the presidential
election that year can hardly be de
cided by the largest campaign fund.
To a superfluous ring politician
it would seem not bad politics to let
the democrats take the responsibil
ity for a reaction from republican
excesses, lsut tne standpatters are
losing' their grip, no matter what
nartv carries the next house. The
Iowa Idea drove Speaker Hender
son out of politics as the Dingley
influences had driven out Speaker
Reed. The American people are
too familiar with the republican tree
too hold back their hands from up
rooting it. No matter how the Al
drich people play, they are playing
to lose in 190S.
If You Don't, We Will.
There were volumes of truth in
the short but fatherly lecture Jiich
John Sharp Williams administered
to young Mr. Land is of Indiana on
the floor of the notise the other
day.
Mr. I.andis may pay but little
heed to the warning not longer to
follow the hardened sinners who
lead the republican party, but he
cannot get away from the eternal
verities that were dropped into his
ear by the gentleman from Missis
sippi. "You've got to revise this tariff,"
said Mr. Williams. "If you don't,
we will."
Mr. Cannon has already said that
the republican party has got to
revise the tariff, but doesn't want
to. And the stand patters don't
mean to. The democratic party
will.
"You've got to pass a bill to
admit Oklahoma and New Mexico
to statehood without the Arizona-
New Mexico rider. If you don't
we will."
Truer words was never spoken,
he republican leaders have a few
weeks longer in which to make up
their minds to comply with the
will of the great majority of the
American people and admit the
twin territories. If they do not
obey before adjournment of this
session, the statehood act will be
passed by a democratic congress.
nd it will make more than two
states of the four southwestern ter
ritories.
Your republican senate has got
to pass a freight-rate bill that will
satisfy the country. If you don't,
we will."
The republican leaders all seem
to know, as a matter of intellectual
perception, that all these things,
and more, have got to be done, but
rebel against doing them.
The country means that they
shall be done, and the country will
lave to call upon the democrat
ic party to do them. Wait and see
the election returns this fall, am'
also in PJOS.
Tin: Plattsmouth Telephone com
pany should feel rejoiced over the
Omaha election. Their efforts for
the past three years to get into that
will now be crowned with success
And the people of the rural districts
will be also feel rejoiced when they
can talk with Omaha business men
through a Plattsmouth telephone
Tiir: Kansas Citv Star savs that
"the country wants an end to cor
poration influence in politics." If
this is true, the end will come. Hut
it will have to come by ousting the
republican party in both state ant;
nation from power. The power
lifting will begin in Nebraska about
the Mh of next Novemlcr.
Uknsox's henchmen used the ar
gutnent in Omaha campaign that i
Jim Dahlman was elected mayor
the result would have a great effect
upon the state elections this fal
in favor of democratic success
Well, now that Jim has not only
lecn elected, but the entire demo
cratic ticket has also been electee1
by good big majorities, what have
they got to say about it? Demo
cratic victory this fall must appear
doubly sure.

Tin: Heatrice Sun savs: The
.incoln Journal speaks of James IC
I5oyd as the only democratic gov
ernor ever elected in Nebraska.
The Journal should modify its state
ment to say the only democrat
who was ever seated as governor of
Nebraske." It will be recalled that
it was found necessary in the first
election in Nebraska tony vears
ago, to throw out Rock Bluffs pre
cinct, (Cass county) in order to de
feat J. Sterling Morton, who had
more votes than were cast for David
Butler. While time heals al
wounds, it should not wipe from
memory the events of history."
Jim Daiii.man was elected mayor
of Omaha vestcrdav by a majority
of J, 790, and the balance of the
democratic ticket by majorities
ranging from 709 to 4,011, the latter
leing the majority of Charles II
Withnell for building inspector
Evidently the Omaha News assisted
greatly in swelling the majorities
of the democratic candidates, by its
continued abuse of the head of the
ticket. It "worked like a charm'
in Mayor-elect Dahlnian's favor.
Jim should present each of the edi
tors with a leather medal.
