The bait-way presidential term elec
tions always go affa'nst the party in
power.
Gov. II ill went down in New York
with Tammany. There is some satis
faction in that Tammany is beaten
Pktek E. Kctner was elected as
sessor in the second ward on the dem
ocratic ticket. That's something, any
way.
Elkctiox returns are very unintor
esting trilles this year. They move one
to look elsewhere in the paper for
something readable.
Just think of it ! The city of Platts
mouth gave Cooley 84 majority over
Guy Livingston. Isn't it enough to
turn the gorge of all self-respecting
people ?
The democrats who voted for Tom
Majors just to accommodate the Bur
lington road didn't stop there, but
most of them voted the republican
ticket straight through.
The librarian of the congressional
library wants to supply members of the
senate and house with books by means
of an undergound tunnel from the
new library to the capitol.
Of course all the beneficiaries of
McKinley ism, those for whom the tariff
b 11 was made, and who turned their
men out on purpose to bring on hard
times, helped republicans this year.
It was a bad day for Cass county to
elect Polk over such a man as Travis
And the people will find it out. Many
leading republicans knew it already
but they were afraid to take an active
p trt in preventing it.
"Undoubtedly the inequalities in the
wages of English and American opera-
lives are more than equalized by the
greater efficiency of the latter and their
longer hours of labor."
Secretap.y Jamks G. Ulaine.
Democrats must not abate one par
ticle in their determination to com
plete the work of a reform of the tariff
on the lines laid down in their plat
form of 1892. They have been defeated
for the time, but a righteous cause
should never be abandoned.
All the states east seem to have
gone as New 17rk went for the re
publicans. It is even doubtful if Ohio
elected even one congressman a thing
which was never beard of before. In
New York the democrats only elected
five members, in Illinois only four.
The democrats of the Georgia legis
lature have chosen Senator Walsh for
the short term and Maj. A. O. Baccn
for the long term for senator. Both
are free coinage men Congressman
Turner, the administration favorite re
ceiving only 37 votes to 93 for Bacon.
It is no w apparent that bad the
democratic state convention been held
in August, as suggested by the free
silver conference committee, and
a full ticket been nominated, with
Bryan at its head for governor, a dif
ferent state of affairs would now exist.
We would have had a united party and
a victory.

"I am not in favor of the boycott as
a rule," said a wealthy, old-fashioned
democrat this morning, "but if I were
laboring man of any kind in Omaha I
should try to organize a boycott of all
my class against Henry Yates' Ne
braska National bank, for his infamous
buldosing act of discharging his clerk
because of his political preference
This ia not a country of autocrats."
The New York Herald's correspon
dent in Honduras reports the discovery
of the remains of an ancient Toltec
city in the center of a mahogany
swamp near Rio Grande. They com
prise hundreds of large, well-built
stone dwellings and three temples, each
100 feet long, fifty feet wide and thirty-
five feet high. The streets are paved.
These ruins are now covered with nine'
inches of soli.
OS GENERAL KESTJ1.TS.
The election is over and we can now
look at the result and its causes. Ona
thing seems certain: It matters not
whom the republicans nominate or
what his record is shown to be, the
party as a mass will endorse him. The
nomination wipes away his every sin,
and makes him an object of persecu
tion.
In the city of Plattsmouth the voters
have made common cause with the
railway, aDd gave its favorite candi
date the uiggeet majority the party
ever got. The Burlington people can
not certainly complain at the loyalty
of its friends and employes in this city.
As a return for this we have a right to
suppose that the force in its shops
here will be increased at once to its full
capacity at full ten hours a day, and if
it does this nobody will complain.
No party can win in this country or
state while its councils are divided.
With a democratic president and his
particular friends acting in line with
the republican party on one of the most
important and pressing issues and
giving every possible encouragement
to republican success, it is not surpris
ing that the democratic party should
be the foot-ball of fate, and find that
democratic division has promoted re
publican unity. This condition only
gave emphasis to the rule that off-years
have always inured to the success of
the party out of power.
Mr. Iteed will succeed Mr. Crisp as
speaker, but that will not insure re-
estblishment of the McKinley or any
other higher tariff than the Wilson
bill, and the trial of that measure
is certain to show it to be beneficent in
its effect.
Tub public wiil note the fact that
the recent campaign was fought by the
winning party for no single reform,
but almost altogether as a negative
battle. Of all the republican speakers
McKinley alone was for a rehabilitation
of the McKinley system of exclusion.
The other arguments were all of a
scolding, fault-finding character a
ringing of changes on what the demo
cracy didu't do that it had promised
In Nebraska the howl about disaster to
"business interests" and the "credit of
the state" was raised, but no promises
of improvement were made on their
own behalf when elected. The people
have no right to look for any reforms
at the hands of the republicans. They
are not in the reforming business, and
it is presumed that the people are in
the attitude of those ready to accept
the old beatitude: "Blessed are those
who expect nothing, for they shall not
be disappointed." The democratic
party had promised certain reforms,
and because they have not been able to
secure all that was desired in one short
year of congress, the people became
impatient and rebuked them most de
cidedly. The people, it is easy to see,
will derive no beueOt from the i eseut
turning over, because it is altogether a
negative one.
The American revolutionists were
defeated at Bunker Hill, but that de
feat was only an inspiration for them
to tight on in the cause of liberty. So
tne deieat or last 1 uestiay should in
spire the democracy with renewed de
termination to fight on in the cause of
tariff reform, of the free coinage of
silver, for the election of U. S. senators
by the people, for independence from
control of monopolies, and for retrench
ment and reform in affairs of our state.
As long as the incentive to liberty
atd free government remains alive in
the breasts of humanity the fire on her
altars must be kept burning. Monop
oly and wrong may triumph, but it will
be only a temporary victory. The peo
ple will become convinced ere long of
their error, when they see what this
temporary defeat means; when they
behold the excesses into which the
rotteness that has triumphed runs riot
in disregard of the public interest and
of private rights.
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
of Kansas, makes the following state
ment: "Hank rates on commercial and
other good paper in Kansas were never
lower than at the present time. Rates
ou farm loans same as in 1890. Our
banks are in better condition than any
other western state; owe less borrowed
money and have more available cash
than at any time in the history of the
state." American Banker,New York,
Oct. 17, 1894.
In the presence of almost entire
failure of crops and consequent hard
times it is not hard to persuade people
that the fault lies with the party in
power, and the way to secure an im
provement is to vote the opposition
ticket. That accounts very largely
for the landslide which struck Nebras
ka as well as other states.

It was in 1994. The women voted
and the millennium was in sight.
Phyllis had gone to the polls early and
deposited her ballot, but along about
mid day she heard something about
her candidate that she did not like, so
back she posted to vote again. "But
you have voted once," said the in
spector. "I know it," 8aid Phyllis,
"but 1 voted wrong." "It is too late
to change." "What !'' cried Phyllis.
"Is it ever too late for a woman to
change her mind ?" "It is in voting,"
said the inspector. "Then." Bhe cried,
angrily, "I'll have nothing more to do
with the horrid business so there.
That principle is utteily orposed to

There is a pretty story in the Vaux
family of Philadelphia in regard to the
late Uicliard Vaux's gallantries at the
court of St. James, when he danced
with the young and yet unmarried
Queen Victoria. The Vaux family
was of Quaker faith, and, according
lo the story, when the uews came
from abroad of the favor the young
man found with the queen, his mother
spoke of his attentions to the royal
lady, and then added: "But I hope
Richard will not marry out of meet
