According to Joe Jobnaon, Ilolcomb ia responsible for all the republican stealing for the last ton years. He did not make Joe Hartley set better bonda than be did hi first term. We are not told who approved Joe a first bonds. All the stealing may have been done the first term. Neither are we told wno ap proved Cap Hill s bond or who approved Moaner's bond. Tbey got away with half aa much money a Hartley did. Though I suppose it all happened be cause ilolcomb was going too gov ernor. If Johnson keep on and grow it won't be six weeka before be will ewear that it was Ilolcomb who killed Lincoln and OurHeld. V We read every morning that the eoul strike baa been declared off. In the aauie paper we read of new trouble. The American people might aa well face the aolid facta. The time Is coming when all the miners, railroad men, irou workers and factory men are going into a uulou a the money men have, and Congress will bave to do as muub for them as they have for corporations, and millionaires or something will break. Then the big pile ol legalised theft better look out for the spliuters that fly.

If we could only try the experiment In this country by taking In the U. I', we could soon decide the question. But there Is the stick. The millionaire do not want It tried for fear it will be suc cessful. . S e ' s Eminent statesmen are urging the ad ministration to go in for building a ship canal from the Hudson river to Lake Ontario and tbence to Lake Erie, to facilitate commerce and give Idle men work. No corporation would go Into any such job a that. A govern ment railroad would be the thing, it would not freeze up. Go in William and build it from shore to shore It would be a sight bettor than building canul or pyramids. e s e The following we take from the York Time of Keptember 15, editorial: "What a pity that Altgeld and Debs and Ilryan and ths rest of the agitators were not In the front rank of the march ers when the deputy sheriff fired upon them. There ia no question but that tbey would bave been justified in firing nt'der those circumstances. But you never o these tboeretical anarchists, who stand back and encourage others to defy the law, getting Into any danger themselves. How much dooe that lack of being re- Kublican anarchy? How much does it tck of murder in a republican editor's heart? If Bryan comes to hia death be fore IVU4 ft will be by the band ol aa assassin as Lincoln did. only it will be a republican and not a democrat. The Lord Dnrpoaea that be shall live till 1904. There wa a time when the slave drivers did not like agitator any better than the goldbug do now. e e Why don't the republicans swear out an injunction to restrain Uryon irom stirring up discontent and agitation. Injunction are doing almost every thing nowadays, and why not get an other to restrain him from being a cun didate for the presidency in 1900. This Injunction seneme to override trials De fore juries is preeminently a republican discovery. e e Should the supreme court persist in their decision against the income tax, suppose we try a tax on debts, notes, mortgages, bonds, and all kinds of credit snore than six month old. 10 insurs an bonest return make no debt collectable by law tbat baa not been taxed. The amount to be collected could be divided among the states, ac cording to population, so that coustltu tional requirement enn be met. e e e We thought at first the bicycle would be a short lived mutilation, something like the roller skate, but ws huv changed our mlud.

Endorse the Cbicsge Platform and Nom inate a But Ticket. The democratic state convention for MassaciiQSdtt met at Worcester. The old leaders and Cleveland democrat were turned down. The convention adopted a platform squarely endorsing the Chicago platform. The" principal part of the platform reads as follows. The doraocratio party oppose the at tempt to fasten on the country gold monometallism and demand the remon- etizatlon of silver at the ratio to gold of lOtol. The domaud for ailver would be so enormous aud the demand for gold so reducoo mat trie two would meet and re main at parity, and the paralyzing bat tle of the standard cense, and the world enter upon a period of tusured prosper ity. Just now a shortage of the world' food crops, culminating In wide spread and ghastly Asiatic fumluo, ha raised prices for out product. Those abnor mal condition have largely eliminated the competlon of silver using countries. But a recurrence of good crop will re new the fierce competition of these coun tries which will again underbid the Amor lean farmer, and reduce the world's prions lor agricultural products. While republicans may place their reliance upon temporary distresa abroad, demo crats demand such just and broad basis of standard money a will maintain a a stable staudard of value and stable prices, with steady employment of labor and capital. 1 he greenbacks Issued by the eovorn- ment bave proved the country' best paper money, and should not be can celled. There can be no privilege more dangerous than the control of our cur rency supply by private bankers and we stoutly oppose their attempt to strengthen such a monopoly by the sub stitution of bank note for our national note." Ileforrinff to the recent abuse of iudl clal injunction the platform declares: "Let the people remember this massa cre at Lattliner and resolve that govern ment by Injunction shall not bo tolerated and tbat American liberty shull not per ish." The following candlddtea were placed In nomination: Governor, George Fred Williams. Lieutenant-governor, Christopher T. Callahan. Hecretary, S. D. Nash. Attorney general, John A. O'Keofe. Treasurer and receiver general, T. A. Watson. Auditor, J. L. Chulfoux. REPUBLICANS OF GREATER N. Y. Name General Benjamin F. Tracy as Their Candidate for Mayor. The republican convention for Greater New York met In Carnegie ball last Tuesday. Gen. B. F, Tracy and Beth Low were candidates for the nomination for mayor. Tracy was nominated on the first ballot be receiving 207 rote. Low received. 49 votes. Asbbel I. Fitch wa nominated for comptroller by ac clamation. The platform adopted declare that, "There I one great Issue before tbe peo ple at this time. It cannot be separated from any political contest. It Is the is sue created by tbe Chicago platform, and aotblng can be made more obvious than the results ol every election, na tional, state or municipal, antil tbat platform has been formally abandoned by the party that made It, must count for or against it odious and destructive principles. "Every intelligent voter knows that if the first mayor of tbe Greater New York is the candilute of this convention a mighty impulse will be given in support of every sound principle of government. "Every intelligent voter knows, on the other hand, that if the first mayor of Greater New York is a Tammany demo crat, tbe effect will be greatly to revive the hopes and promote the schemes tbat are grouped in the public mind under tbe name of Bryanism, and at tbe same time to deliver this magnificent metrop olis into the bands of an organised con spiracy for public plunder. "We indorse the St. Louis platform. We bulieve that it neede the support of the Intelligent and patriotic people of New York as much today as it did one year ago. It is not only the cause of sound money. It is pre-eminently tbe cause of social order. Every vote cast agaiust the candidates of this conven tion places both in peril." Geaerai Tracy was chosen with the ei pectatton that he will prove satisfactory to thecitiiens anion organisation which has placed Heth Low In nomination. The republican leaders are auxlous to bave Low withdrawn Irom the race. What be will do In ths matter is a ye t very uncertain.

The first opinion was written by judge Maxwell, and every fair minded lawyer will concede that the tbe statement of the law waa correct. The railroad company moved for a re hearing, which was granted and a aoo oud opinion written after Judge Mux well's term bad expired. The second opinion will be found in vol. 50, N W, 545 where the judgment was reversed, and it waa held In (act that there could be no recovery, and rulea were laid down a to the evldonoe required In a cnxe of that kind that will forever pre clude recovery in such cases. There must have been some powerful influence brought to bear to change the minds of Norval, aud Post after Maxwell bad loft the bench. There was no friend of the fieoplo there to write a dissenting opln on and reveal the scandalous proceed Ings of the court. There was no friend of the people there to protect this mau's claim of more than 14.000 doclur- od to be honestly due him by a jury of twelve of tils peers, There was no one to point out to the oititen of Nebraska tho shortcomings of aoine of tholr chos en servants. The Importance of this decision and many others of it kind, to the tteople of Nebraska at this time Is In the fuct that they are called upon to deotdo whether they will return Judge Post to the su premo bench or whether tbey will choose an honest and fearless judge, John J. Sullivan, as his successor. A TRANSPARENT SCHEME. Ths Opposition of th Sugar Trust to Hawaiian Annexation Is Msrs Prctsnss. The claim that the sugar trust I op posed to tbe annexation ol Hawaii will provoke a smile. Tbe allegod opposi tion of the tugar trust to Hawaiian an nexation I about tbe moat transparent scheme tbat ha been planned during re cent year. What the sugar trust I most Interested in I free raw augar and a heavy duty on the refined article, and it ha just those thing under the Ding ley law, or a near a it want. A our relation with Hawaii now exist the sugar trust ha by far the bost of it, and it has no reason to take any hand in the annexation scheme unless it ia to favor annexation. Tbat would give it a slightly better chance to gouge American consumer of sugar. But the scheme of the annexationist i to make the people believe that the sugar trust oppose annexation and thus play tbe prejudice of tboae who are opposed to trusts. If the sugar trust oppose annexation, argue th annexationists, the people will at onoe conclude that tbe present arrangement is good for the augar trust and annexa tion bad, therefore thoy will take ad vantage ol an opportunity to give the trust a blow and demand annexation. But tbe sugar trust I not opposed to annexation. It rather favors it, but to reward those who nave tbe sugar trust everything it asked for in the way ol leg islation it will do anything tney demand, and lust now there is a jrlirantlo political deal on foot to annex Hawaii. There is no more reason lor annexing Hawaii than there I for annexing Samoa or Haytl. It is foreiarn to American polioy and baa been opposed by tbe wisest statesmen of tbe nation, mat were is a corrupt deal on foot I evidenced by the fact tbat the augar trust naa been called upon to take a band in tbe game. -World-Herald.
