JULS IUUMONT , Com. failures , an reported by the mercantile agencies , continue lighter than for many years , the number for July being smaller than any month on record except that of May. There is no sham about the prosperity prevailing ii the United States , Governor Poynter.having insultoi every member of iho Firsl regimen and also every oilmen of Nebranka by voicing a simple rosolulion o thanks to our bravo boys in the Philippines , would have shown a greater sense of propriety by re maining at homo and greeting the reluming soldiers quietly , than by rushing off. to S.ui Francisco with a blare of trumpets and a pretense of according them the honor which ho denied them last winter. The gov- oruor'a Hctioino is so plainly a piece of political buncombe that nobody ought to bo deceived by it , aud it is to bo hoped the First Nebraska boys will BOO through it.

As the date of the Sixth congres sional convention draws near the Hontimont in favor of Judge Kin- kaid'ri nominalion grows Hliotigor with Iho people. The Judge's popularity with the masses in his own judicial district has never failed to manifesl itself at the polls. When a candidate for judge four years ago ho was elected by a ma- jorily of 1 MO votes when the re mainder of the republican ticket was defeated Ho has always been a conservative in politics yet trim lo the principles and this faol with his fikirand unbiased rulings on thit benchhaHslrengthened his popular ity with the manses. His only rival , for the nominalion for congress , in the republican ranks up to date is lawyer Bfomiin of Kearney. It is lobe hoped that Mr. Bcoman will not insist upon his candidacy at this time as he ia not generally known , that Judge Kinkaid may bo nominated by acclamalion. Tlio question as lo whether iho legislature has authority lo appro priate moBoy for a governor's house rent , dooH not enlor into Iho ques- lieu of Iho recent investigation of the soualo commitloo. Gov.Crounse , a republican governor , said iho log- islaliiro had no authority to mike any Huoh appropriation , and volood tlio bill providing for his house rent. As governor Holcomb did not veto the bill providing for his housoront , lit us concede that ihe governor had a legitimate right lo use the entire amount appropriated by the legislature. Bui may we not fur llier ask for what purpose the "house rent fund" can bo legitimately need by the govirnor ? In all branches of state , county and township gov > eminent , the law provides for general oral and specific tax levies. An I'Slimato is undo by the proper authorities of each fund noooHsaiy , and the levy needed lo raise that amount is made When collected , Iho disbursing otliccr bos no legitimate mate right lo use cither of those funds for any other purpose than that for which they wore created In case of a surplus in any lund the body that created the fund has authority to transfer the surplus after all obligations are mot , to any other fund that may need il. But no members of that body , or the board creating il , has a right to appropriate a penny of lhat money lo their own private uso. Gov. Holcomb had a right to use the entire amount appropriated for house rout for that specific purpose , but not a dollar of it for personal , or for any other purpose. If the $30 ho paid the landlord nnd iho amount paid for repairing and water rout consumed the amount monthly retained by the governor , ho is entitled to it , but if ho took part of it to pay for furniture or campaign expenses , ho overstepped the limit. Tbo only way Governor Holoomb can place himself fairly before the people , and remove tbo suspicion now resting against ilia "houns ront" niDlltir , is to give the public an itoinm > d statement , accompanied by receipt * , showing just where oven * dollar of tbo money ho drew from the state treasurer wan ap plied. Tbe plea by some that bo bad a right to use the whole ol the appropriation for any purpose bo * nw fit , is wholly without reason and law.

From tbo above statement are wo to infer that the Beacon editor has boon admitted to the counsels of the republican state and county central committees or has ho astand < in with Walt Moise , the chief mogul ol the saloons of tbo state ? Such rot may have weight with some people but not with the moro intelligent class. The only object wo can see in mak. ing a statement of that character is for its political effect. It is for this reason that wo desire to give tbo statement a little space at this time that tbo public may judge whether be republican or populist leaders are in the saloon business. There s an bffoit an every ono knows at ho present time to uoouro license or two saloons in Broken Boiv. As iio question of license was submitted o fho voters of the city in last spring's election and voted down , ho Beacon evidently is attempting o fool tbo public into tbo belief bit the republican parly is back of ho move for saloons , and thus keep , ho real facts from the public. The salooiiB of the state are under the control of Walt Moiso of Omahawho was ono of Gov. Holcomb's staff and nado colonel by him , and has been reappointed by Gov. Poyntor , the ) rohibitionist ( ? ) to the same posi tion. uCol. Moiso Man a democrat intil fusion became popular , when 10 became a demo-pop. If wo have ) eon rorreollj informed all the saloons that have been run in Ouster jounty with ono or two exceptions lavu boon owned and operated by Jol. Moise and his hired help. The urcd help have beenwith but few exceptions ceptions democrats or populists. It wat because of the local prejudice to Moiso together with the ami- siloou element that gave Broken ? ow itn great republican victory last spring and vote.d out saloon license. As throe of tbo procont council and the mayor are republicans the Uoaoon seeks to fortify itself , in case license should bo granted so as to successfully charge that the re publican , state pud county central committee had so ordered. But in this the Beacon has established a "also premises as tbo republican members of the council are men of loner and will not violate their pledge. But if iho application for iconso is denied , the charge of tbo Beacon ; that republicans wore naking an effort to secure sa loons for Broken Bow , would oubtless bo believed by many were not Iho fao's givon. The applicants Tor the H.iloons in Broken Bow are Ed. MoleJab. . L I logic and J. S. Uaitch. The ( irnt two are demo crats aud the latter a republican The attorney who has the matter in charge for the applicants for licence is II J Slum ) , a loading populist and brothi'i-Mi-law of the populist candidate for county juigo. Now vill the Beacon please inform us jiiht where or how the republican state and county central committees arc interested in promoting the business of Col. Moise and his agonte , who like himself and the Beacon are demo pops and oppose the republican administration ant its principles at all times and places [ An Open Letter to the Chief. ] Sms ; In your last publication you take the liberty lo discuss mud slinging , in couneolion wilh my namo. For some limo you have turned the slitno of your paper toward mo without cause. I have made a number of campaigns in this counly and plate , and so far ns I know yon are the only persons idiotic enough to charge up a "mud' campaign to mo. Even two years ago , when you worn fighting a par of Iho populisl ticket , I was making a campaign free from personality Now you slate that the republican press has opouod its mud battoriea on nx-Gov. Holcomb , and that Iho Into contra ! committee has arranged 'or mo to assist in the mud-slinging work hero , duoh statements nro illy , and again demonstrate the awning imbecility of your cringing lalnrpH. Not long ago you were > pposod to the Holoomb combine. have no connection with tbo RK. UIU.IOAN , and seldom write for Hihlication. ThoRKi'UHMOAN 10 additional editorial help. In bin respect it differs from the Chief. Neither is the republican press of tbo state engaged in "mud Hling- ng. " When the campaign opens , t will be on clear-cut and well do. ined lines , so far as the republicans of this county are concerned. The Dosition of populist parly loaders will no doubt come in for criticism , but this will in no way touch you. The populist party was organized on the basis of "purity in politics. " it existed eight years in this county before you attached yourself to it. [ ts organization had got pretty rotten ton by that time , and your baptism nto the party did not tend to clarify t in any way. You coupled onto the party , you will remember , just iftor your "couu'y printing trust , " when you hired the other papers not to submit bids to the county > oard. In fact , about .ill you over stood for in this locality is the county printing , and sheriff notices , it the usual jack price of $5.00 per stand. But its mud-slinging on tbe part of u republican to question your devotion to principle. It's mud' slinging to refer to the $1,000 house rent hold up of Gov. Holcomb , or Gov Poyutor'B veto of the resolu tion of thanks to the volunteers , or to Auditor Cornell's hold-up of in surance companies , or to Porter's loose custody of the ballots , or to Uncle Jake's York county school land deal , or to Palm aud Liohty'e testimony before the legislative committees , or to Simon's expose of the attempt of Fdmiston and the whole pop state house gang to count in two judges of tbo supreme court , by fraudulently changing the ballots loft in Porter's caro. It's mud-slinging to refer to the secret work of the Mutz $10,000 investigating - gating committee in contrast to iho republican committee , now at work without a salary attached , asking and imploring delinquent pop oflU cers to come in and explain the charges made against them by their own party workers and office hold- em. For not a word had been said against any of those men by repub licans. Then , too , it would be mudslinging - slinging of tbe worst typo for mete to charge that every pop oflicor , from Holcomb to Tom Leisure , are riding over tbo country on railroad passes , and charging niilngo for the same , and that even the editors of the Chief ride on passes and make junketing trips to the Gulf of Mexico , and from ocean to ocean , on passes furnished to a suhsidiz d prusd. Vet such is tlio case , and yuti litllowsare the ji.ly iu < WHpipur men in Broken How who have rvrr taken such joiirnojn. But the " ( iriuoiplos of populism are very deal" to you now , at a fixed price per principle. The prenonl populist candid iti- * mint bo I'lcoto' ' , for if defoal comes , Iho Chief must change its politics again. Hence , populists , look out for mud slinging If anything IB published in the Rurum.iGAN against the im. maculate candidates of the party , or if any charges of irregularities nro made against the pop bosses , say it it > mud-slinging It's easier answered tl at way than any other. But this fact stands out painfully prominent , Until the Chief alhgncd Uriel ! with the pop party , the party had put up an unbroken front of oflioo holders in iho court house. Its greal party influence has already landed ono republican in the court bouse , aud prospoota are good for others. If the Chief will strongly support any choice candidate , his defeat IB assured. The people of the county , regardless of party , are tired of throwing dollars into iho Chief's hopper , with Iho Chief's dishonest county printing record still in mind. Youis for "Moro Mud , " A. R.

The expressions among the gold democrats against putting up a oiudidato by ihoir party in ICOOj uropably roprcsonl the sentiment of a large majority of that elonu-nt. Their nominee in 1800 polled com paratively few voles , and as the silver folly will bo mixed up with several other lunacies in the demo- oralio platform next year , it can hardly arouse as much interesl as it did throe years ago , and the i oM democratic ticket , if there wuro one , would got smaller support. A wise plan for tbo honest money democrats next year would bo for all of them lo vote the republican ticket , ai a majority of them probably did in 1890. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Find Uulthe Cause Homo people believe or pretend to believe that oommorical affairs have their ups and downs without any reference to our governmental policies. The people who profess suoh a belief put themselves outside of the nineteenth century enliubt- ement by thus denying , as in effect they do deny , thai there can bo no effect wilbonl a cause. A little study would assure them thai all science and iuvesligation declare thai nvory effect has a c-aute. A few years , or even a few months , in any commerical house run on him ness principals would soon convince th m , if they Invo minds capable of being convinced , Unit in the corn , mercial world most especially \ there a close relation between causa and effect. Business prosperity or business failure are each duo to verydielinol and well defined causep. The sue- eussful business man doesn't got success through ohanoo , but through following out well-soUled plana catolully laid out by sound judg ment. What is true of an indiv idual IB true of a nation. There is a cause for every season of national prosperity and a cause for every period of hard limes , and the way to keep the country prosperous is to find out iho caiiHo of the prosp. orily and then to slick wilhoiii wavering lo the policy which IB responsible for it. Our whole history ns a nation has demonstra ted thai Iho protective tariff ia the cause lying at the basis of our prosperity. Wo have always had prosperity when wo have had a proteclive lariff , aud iho fact that wo have never had prosperity without - out U is about the strongest evidence that could be offered , and there ia very good reason to believe that the American people have accepted it as conclusive. The brotectivo tariff policy has come to stay. American Economist. TO THRESHERMEN , And luose contemplating bu > lng a We are handling the Geiser Engine and Separator.
