Noble , departed Una life at the homo of his parontH in thia city , at 3 : 6 a. in. , September 28th , 1000 , of lung fovor. Ilia romaitiH v/oro taken to Lone Tree cemetery and buried beside his little Hiwter , brother and grand mother , who had gonu before. The funeral surviflPH were conducted by Rev. BclliH , of Horwyn , who Rtioko very forcibly and with good logical aigumont , of the lifo which IB to uomo. The docoaaod was born in Hon do THOU county , Illinois , August 12th , 1872. A.t the time of death ho was 28 years , 1 month nnd 10 days old. lie moved with his parents from Henderson county , Illinois , to Woa- torville , Cnator county , Nobr , Juno 2d , 1877. Ho baa been a resident of this county ainco that time till , luly 12th , 18S18 , whr-n In took paa : go for the northwest , stopping in Virginia Uity , Nevada , where be has remained moat of th ( > time , re turning to Broken Bow August 12 , 1000. During his pbaonoo ho vis ited Los Angolcp , San Frauoinco and other cities of importance along the wnstorn coast. The rarameuiit Issue. 'I ho paramount iaauo to bo fought out in the battle of 1000 may bo summed up in iivo small words. Do you want a change ? Thia is the simple question that nvery citizen will aek himself before ho caslH his ballot and the verdict will depend upon the conclusion reached by a majority of the 15- , 000,000 voters who will record themselves on ono side or the other next November. It cannot bo gainsaid that the American people uro as prosperous and woll-to-do thia year as they over have boon. Do the American people want a change ? Does the great army of wage- workers , which ia bettor fed , bettor clothed and hotter housed r.ow than over before , want a change ? Do the American farmers , whoso products are in steady demand at good prices at homo and abroad , w.\nt a change ? Do the merchants anil tradeaiu.cn of the country , who are doing a larger busmeas in the aggregate than over before , want a change ? Do the manufucturors and em ployers of labor in mill anJ factory , whoso products arc marketable now at fair prolit , want a change ? Do the professional men , whose services command higher remunera tion now than over before , want a change ? What would any of these classes gain by a change ? This is the poser uluuh neither Mr. Bryan uor any of his cham pions will bo able to answer satis factorily. They will talk about the Declaration of Independence , about the crime of 1873 , about the beau ties of Iroo silver coinage , about the dihastroua old standard , about the menace of imperialism and militar ism and about the rapacity of the trusts. But all theao subjects are overshadowed by the question that dominates all men who are con. stautly striving to hotter their con. dition , but do not willfully and de liberately expose themsolvea and their families to the rifik of a rolnpso to the distressing , hard times ox- porimictul before the advent of Mo. Kinloy and the ascendancy of ro. publican policies that have restored coniidonoe. raised thn national credit aud set the wheela of industrial and commercial activity in motion. Omaha Bee , Fasionlsts Painfully Silent on the $100,000 Deficiency In the Public Funds. llryun llmlmioci thu Tammany Tiger and Host Crnkor In Wluklui ; thw Otliur Uju. Omaha. Oct. 1. Governor Poynter uml the fusion iiowspapoi'H , QH well us nil of the fusion lenders , nro painfully Nllent on the report that at the end of I'oynter'H term there will be u deficit or Kliortnge In the public funds of no less than $100,000. Tlit-lr answer to thin is nbune of Re publican but nbuslng Republicans will hardly satisfy the tax payers , who will have to go Into their pockets and pay the bills. The fuslonlsts have boasted of the Having they have made In managing tht > state Institutions. How docs this compart' with faetH ? Four years ago they pointed to the reduction In the amount aiiked of and appropriated by the logtalaturo. The result wnH that at the end of the first two years there was n deficiency ap proximating nearly 840,000. Two years ago they win. " to the legislature with a demand for more money than had over before been required , with a Inrgo deficiency and any number of unpaid claims. The legislature two years ago , not only mndo a large de ficiency appropriation , but appropri ated more than $2,000,000 for the two years ending hi 11)OJ. ) All this has been squandered and it will require $100- 000 more to pay unpaid bills nud labor claims. The shortage In the penitentiary fund alone will amount to nbout ijifJO- 000. There are at least 11 Institutions that will come In with shortages rang ing all the way from 33,000 to $10,000 , and lu some instances the amount will be even larger. This amount added to the amount ap propriated will run the expense of maintaining these Institutions to a higher llgnre than has ever before been reached In the history of the state. These statements are baaed , not upon observation alonu , but upon the showIng - Ing made by the otflcial records in the auditor's olllee at Lincoln. It Is useless , therefore , for the fu sion lenders to deny them , for two rea sons : First , because they are abso lutely true and substantiated by the ofllclal records ; and , secondly , because It Is only a few months until the legis lature meets and then all the facts will have to come out. When the legisla ture meets and the various Institu tions make their wants known , when the request for a deficiency appropri ation of at least $100.000 is rande. as It surely will be , perhaps those who may doubt tlie truthfulness of the statements now will be fully con vinced of It then. SADLY INCOMPETENT. As an executive officer Governor Poynter Is notoriously Incompetent. This fact so openly manifests Itself that it Is hardly necessary to call at tention to it. Aside from extrava gance. It Is a fact patent to everyone that in the exercise of executive au thority he has been both weak and vacillating. Every time ho has had occasion to exercise this prerogative he has evinced pitiable weakness. His at tention has been called to corruption and malfeasance on the part of some of his appointees , but in each Instance he has signally failed to apply tlie law ful remedy. Tlio manner In which he handled tlie management of the Insti tute for the Feeble Minded Youth at Beatrice ban become almost a public scandal. HH appointees have learned that , no matter how they may violate the law , all they have got to do to keep from being removed by the gov ernor is to show tight and be will weaken. This accounts for the con tinuous turmoil and clash between the governor and his appointees ever since ho assumed the executive chair Snub conditions as these must of nc ccsslty result In the demoralization of the public service. As the head of a family and as the head of a business establishment must , when the occasion requires , bo resolute , HO , too , the head of a state government must be. Va cillation In any position in life where business customs , where law or where organized society requires resolution , must ultimately be attended by results inimical to the individual and public alike Nebraska is a largo siato with large business Interests. The chief executive not only has supervisor ) control over the expenditure of mil lions of dollars of the people's money , but he Is entrusted with the respon sibility of executing all laws on the tatute books. The time may never aomo when vacillation on the part of the executive might endanger life nnd property , thus this , even in the best regulated communities , is a danger al ways to be reckoned with. Hut the time Is always nt hand , in the manage ment of domestic affairs , when weak ness of this character means corrup tion on one baud and Increased ex pense to the taxpayers on the other. That this deduction Is logical Is proven by results attained under the Poynter administration. DISTORTING PACTS. It remained for Mr. Bryan to at tempt to make political capital out of the strike of working men in the coal regions. Everybody else knows It to b a result of a difference of opinion between the employers and their em ployes , not over a reduction in wage * , but ever an Increase in wages , a ques tion with which politics IniH nothluR to do. It Mr. Dryuu would only Btof nnrl think for it moment he would readily realize the folly of his deduc tions. In the first place workmen can not Htrlko unless they are nt work. In tha second place it strike thnt Is due to n demand for more wages simply means that times are good and that workmen want what they thhik Is their share of prosperity. Then , too , on the subject of strike * Mr. 1 trynn and his party should go u little slow. Under Democratic rule , from 1802 to 1890 , 282,000 laborers wont on a strike against u reduction n wages. More than . ' 100,000 were thrown out of employment without any wages through the operation of the Wilson law a Democratic free trade that closed more than half the facto- les In the United Slates and was an noumbranee on every Industrial en terprise and domestic industry. It Is well remembered that In the arge cities free soup IIOUSOB hod to bo nalntainod to alleviate the suffering of the masses. Many citizens of No- jraska will recall that In the city of Omaha a place known as Rescue hall , n large building on Douglas street , was imlntnlned by charity and was each lay and night called upon to feed and Nhelter hundreds of Idle people from ihe storm and cold , all willing to work jut none able to find employment. These were Democratic days. Bryan nny have forgotten them , but there are thousands of othnrs who were Idle then and are at work at good wages low who have not and never will. The mpresslon made upon them was one they will ever remember. What Is true of Omaha Is true of nil the large cities , especially those cities whose popula tion Is largely employed In manufac turing Industries and which felt the full force of the terrible suffering and distress at that time. It will go Into history that under the McKinley administration not one of the 10,000,000 wnge earners of this country wont on a strike against n re duction in wages. There have been very few strikes in the last four years , and those that have occurred have boon caused , If over n dispute about wages , not by a decrease , but as the result of a demand for uii increase. Mr. Bryan's solicitude for labor , while advocating free trade and spu rious money both fntal to the welfare of the artisan brings the sublime and the ridiculous Into veiy close contact. CAVORTING WITH TAMMANY HALL. In a public speech Boss Croker of Tammany Hall stated that It Is the intention of Taiumnny Hall to give Bryan on his forthcoming visit to New York "the greatest reception aver given a presidential candidate. " This is a big contract Tammany Hall has taken , but It ought to be equal to the occasion. It has stolen enough from tlie people of New York City In the many years it has had Its tentacles fastened upon them to pay for most anything. At the end of Its many years of existence it enjoys the unen viable distinction of being the most iniquitous nnd corrupt organization of Its kind the world has ever known. For years It 1ms been a mentor of pub lic thieves and a czar in New York politics. It has existed on the spoils of office from the date of its birth. The story of the "Forty Thieves" Is. with the exception of a numerical discrep ancy , a true history of Tammany Hall. Richard Croker , chief of Tammany Hall , is as Imperious In Democratic politics In the Empire State as the caar of Russia is in the government of the Russian empire. His edict Is law and bis command and orders are as exact ing of obedience as any imperial decree could possibly be. When Tammany Hall speaks New York Democracy bonds the knee. Bryan and Tammany Hall ! What a theme for contemplation out hero in Nebraska ! A nice picture , Isn't it for "reformers" to look upon ? The Tam many tiger snarled and snapped at Grover Cleveland because that gentle man refused to be dictated to and in sisted , even in politics , on bis right to choose his associates. But it has finally succeeded in luring tlie "boy orator" Into its den. Cleveland did a few things for which he deserves to be remembered , and one of these was when Tammany Hall demanded as a price for its support all the appointive offices In that state , when lie boldly declared that "I'll be doubly damned If I'll do it. " Whether he meant that the public would so treat him or meant that ho would not make such u per sonal sacrifice has never been ex plained. So It Is today. If Tammany Is for Bryan It Is simply a question of spoils. It exists on spoliation , It lives for it. it has no other or higher object In pol itics. That has been its price for sup port in the past and It is Its price now It Is but consistent with historical facts to assume that the bargain has been made. When Tammany shouts It Is when there is plenty of provender In sight , plenty of hay In the manger. But how will Mr. Bryan's Nebraska constituents look at It ? Will they make room in their affection for that hydra-headed monster , Tammany Hall ? Will they follow Bryan In mak ing a truce with the foulest beast that ever strode tlio arena of politics , the Tammany tiger ? Will they join him in a compromise with what for years has been known as a menacing evil ? Will they uphold a man who reforms by going over to the enemy ? The moun tain didn't come to Mohammed and it Is Just as certain that Tammany Hall didn't come to Bryan. It was only a few weeks ago that David B. Hill , In speaking of Tam many , said It was "a monster of Igno rance , tyranny and persecution. " This is the amo Tammany that , according - ' cording to Croker , Is going to give Bryan ouo of the "greatest receptions orer glvtu a prakUutl&l cuudldaU , " TIME TABLE. BROKEN BOW , NKB.
