Oao thing to Governor Savage's credit is that it oinnot be said that he was prompted by politic il po'ioy in granting the Ba'tioj pardon.

Now , that the probabilities of the it-nomination of Governor Savage- haa been removed , the question of his successor will bo a 'matter of public interest. It H doubtful whether another candidate frrm CuBler county would be considered , jet we have some good limber foi which the RHPUIIUCAX can vouch. Nebraska has $9,500,000 invest ed in public Behool building * and property used for educational pur poses.

The Indianapolis Journal arises to inquire if anyone has noticed the name of any distinguichud demo cratic statesman or leader taking part in the conference designed signed to bring labor and capital into more friendly relations. Wo paes the query up to the editor of our esteemed contemporary , I he Lincoln Commoner. St. I'aul Re publioan. With this isauo we quota from a number of republican papers oi ( he tate on the pardon of Hartley that the readers of the KUI-UIILICAN may learn the general opinion of ihu newspapers of the state. The sent iment is mueh the same with a largo majority of thono we have soon. One exception is the Con servative , published by J. Sterling Morton. Ho thinks Hartley's pun ishment has been ample. Are England , Scotland and Ire land destined , ultimately , to bo oomo a part of "I ho United Sta'cs of Amoiioa and Great Brilian ? " is the startling inquiry which William T. Stead inakuH in the January Cos mopolitan. Ho has been one of the prophets of Great Britian , and I1 as , at all limes , been able to HOC in adyaucc of Inn contemporaries as events hive proven. 11 u has boon studying the now condition ! ) brought about by the industrial combinations and roaches the con clusion that England and the Unit ed States are destined to bo more closely united and that as soon as the English people wako up to the absurdity and general usefulness , as has been ahown in the Boor War , of a king and aristocracy , the trend will bo immediate in the direction of a union with the people of the United States. However much ono may differ from Mr. Stead , his spooulaiiocs will bo iound vastly interesting. Ho IB the first British Bubjtot who has had the courage to euggest such an outcome. lUlLUOAUS. During the year nineteen hundred and ono there have been construct ed in the United Statoa more than five thousand miles of new lines of railroad.

The republican party by its rep resentatives in the state convention by the rcHolulion adopted showed that it had no sympathy for Bart- ley or any other official found guilty of the betrayal of , sacred trusts , and the stain is on Savage and Savage alonn. Chappell Hog. ister , rep. The news of the pardon of ex- State Treasurer Hartley , by Goyer- nor Savage on New Year's eve , was a great surprise to the people of Tekamah. It afforded the principal topic of conversation and the al most universal expression was against the action of the governor. Tekamuh llerald , rop. Governor Savage ban pardoned J. S. Hartley , the embezzling stale treasurer , who was serving a twenly year sentence in the penitentiary The governor wai no doubt aotiiKt- ed by the best of motive * in grant ing the pordon , but wo believe ho made a grave mistake , oyon though 1,000 prominent citi/3iiH of the stale petitioned for exeaulivc ulem onoy. Kimball Observer , rep. While tliiH action may mean a happy Now Year to an innocent wife and children as well as the man who betrayed his party , it brings sadness to the hearts of thousands of honoat republicans who had hoped that the greatest crime ever committed in the state of Nebraska might bo adequately puniahed. The governor nukes a luborded statement in explanation of the Dtrdon which is remarkable i jliiofly on account of itn failure to oll'ur any good CXCUHO for the out rage. St. Paul Republican. The pardon of thin man ( Hartley ) U a traventy on jtiHlioo , n slap at the republican parly and an outrage aiiiHt. the public , and in view of the fact that the governor riooniH to Ir'.vo reliniiiHhod | all hopoti of fur- llier | ) ieferment , ho will probably not refiiHo to anticipate Htich a ro Hull and resign the portion ho linn HO freely and utterly debaHod. Such action would unqueutionaUy bo otiilorHcd by ttO per cent , of the ro. publican party of Nebratfka and a largo majority of the people. An outraged people and a dishonored commonwealth demand that ho OO.IHC drawing n tnlary for abutting his coiiBtituontB and ignoring their witthofl Norlolk NOWH , Governor Savage made Joe Hart ley a Hew Yoar'fi present of a par don from the penitentiary on Wed. noHday ovoning. The governor Haya ho thinkB Joe had boon Biillioi- ently puniHhod and attomptn to oondono for his crime by claiming that n largo portion of the nhortago wont to help Hiiatain the financial iiiHtitutionfl of the Htato during the hard times , thus Having many fail ures and much individual IOHB , making Hartley out a public bene factor. Great minds differ upon great quoHtinnn , and the Loader and the governor differ radically upon thin question. We think Hartley a jlamed thief and that he uliouln have been compelled to nerve out ! ii * Hentencc. Geneva Leader , it : ' dependent. It in-unfortunate for the people Nobraeki that the chance elevation of Governor Dietrich to iho Unit 'il Sinter Senate placed Lieut. Gover nor Siivago in the executive oflicr , for the leant that can be flaid id that ho irt a weak man. That lie i a tool ot corrupt influences can no onger bo deni.-d. That ho in him- Helf corrupt or has been corrupted many will believe. That he ought to reflign the oftitfe that ho has die- graced is demanded by every con- deration ol decency and reHpecta- bility. That he ban another year of his term yet to frerve , and that wo mtict be humiliated for twelve months by his presence in the state house , in both unfortunate and lamentable. It is too much to hope that ho will vacate tint olllc-3 that ho is unworthy to fill Kear ney Hub. There in but little doubt that the state money entrusted to Hartley's care was gamboled away in Color ado mining ventures and the peo- plo Invo yet to hear of a single bunk or buninoBR house that was held up by the treasurer's support. All of the evidence goes to show that Hartley was as much of'an em- be//.lor as any other thief who was ever put in prison for stealing pub lic fuddi * , and considering the rnat- rjctudo of his cifense , the sentence of twenty years imposed upon him by the court , was none too much. The governor's attempt to pose Hartley as a martyr is an exhibition of poor or a response to some un known pull which may , and should , relegate him to private life at the close of bin present term as govcr- nor-by-acoidont of Nebraska. Cal- lowa Courier. The action of Governor Savage in pardoning Convict Hartley is a piece of the most high-handed treachery over exercised by the prerogatives of the chief executive of any common-wealth. High handed in that it defies the people , who were robbed out of their hard aimed cash by the speculations and speculations of political plun derers. The last republican state convention spoke in no uncertain tones the mind of the people , and it is a deplorable condition to have a man acting as governor who will hot himself rp as knowing more- than the \vholo party. The time will come when the opportunity for such things to happen will bo stop ped by the repeal of lawn granting such privileges or amendments to the constitution prohibiting inrfto.id of granting nami' . This event will only hutiten nucl. actiun. Sidney Republican. As a New Years present Govern or Sivafjt ) pardonid Je-s. Hartley , ex-stato treasurer , who has served six years of a twenty years sentence for ombiv.etnont The governor in a long letter given his reasons for excutivo ok'inonoy. Ho reviews the fact that Hartley lost the money in the years of panic , crop failures and hardHlimcs , when many institu tions went to the wall in which state nonoy wna deposited. That Barthy was a victim of circum stances and that ho has boon pun * ished Hullicifntly. Ho further states that political expediency should not bo considered in the light of right and humanity. It is perfectly proper for the governor to make capital of this , but when the faroro is all over wo will find that the old soldier who is the governor ornor of this state l.ns a great big , warm heart in him , and that ho hns got the courage to follow 4ho dic tates of his conscience. Alma Journal , rep , Governor Savage on Now Year's day , gave a full pardon to Joe Hart ley , who was serving a term of twenty years for ombez/.lomont , The Governor was always our ideal of what we thought a muii to ho governor should bo , and his picture haa decorated our office , along with McKinley and Roosevelt. Hut wo hayo now turned Ink face to the wall , and are preparing our care for "the dull thud , " which will be heard when the next republican convention drops him. Wo were preparing to be-Ip bim'in our way , in his coming contest wilh Rosewater - water , but the pardoning nf Hartley h f knocked err wind , and wo will , wilh thousands of other ropubhcaus in iho wo-it , help to retire him back to the sand hills where ( jhc belongs. It in with a feeling of regret that wo are compelled to imko this statement , but it is a duty wo ewe the people , and we arc glad to state tint there am men in the eand hills , and plenty of thum , who could fill t'lo uflice of governor with credit. Scolts Bluff Republican. SUITKKSSIOX OF ANARCHY. ( Communicated , ) Wo believe that anarchists can bo suppref-fied by restricting immigra tion and making anarchistic utt.T- ances i crime. By anarchists meaning not the followers of Count Tolatoy's theory of non-resistance , for they are aa much opposed to nviolonce against governmental authority as they are to the exercise of coercion by the government itself. By anarchist ? , wn uio.in tlin-jn ulir plot the overthrow of all govern ments by violence This class of people wo maintain can bo suppress ed by rettrioling immigration and making anarchistic utterances a crime. But it is urged that this % tlor measure would bo abridging the constitutional right of every American as expressly insured in the first amendment to the consti tution which says , "Coneress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech , or of the press" To this wo would reply that they are not urging a privilege but the abuse of n privilege. Wo have found it necessary to suppress various abiifos practiced under this amendment as is r-hown by our statutes against libel , .hlander and obscenity. In fact we have a case more to the point in which Judge Hinsdalo of Now York City Ins held that the teachings and doctrinccs of anarchy seriously rdisturbed and endanger tbo public peace and openly out rage public ! decency. Under a New York statute which makes oil her of these a misdemeanor ho recently sentenced Johannan Most to one year at Sing Sing. Why should wo not prevent t his new abuse of a siorod constitutional right by mak ing anarchists criminals ? If wo have proved that thet remedy sug gested will not abridge rights guaranteed by thu constitulion , it now remains to show that it is a remedy. By restricting immigration wo can keep out these known to bo members of anarchist sooitics. Wo must do this for if they como in they not only do evil themselves but make anarchists of the downfallen - fallen and tuiHUCccGsful on every hand. By restricting immigration wo can alao keep out these not Riiilici- ontly educated to understand that our government is run on different lines from tbo ono that perhaps oppressed thorn at homo. Wo must keep out the uneducated be cause they are the easiest to bo ecn- vinueel that the government and the existing order of society are to blame that they are not in bettor circumstanccF ; in short they arc iho very ones who devolopo into , the most violent and sporadic an archists. By restricting immigration wo can also keep out these not able lo earn a com < 'ortabu | living. Such people must not como in , for they are destined to lead lives oi poverty and distress which , in their tlosper- ation , may culminate in a blow at some fancied oppressor. By restricting immigration we oan furthermore keep out those who have not suflioiont means teA A New Line of Buggies , " Surreys , ' Wagoiis Spring' , and Farm Wagons. G , W. Apple. in kc a good start under existing industrial possibilities , People BO eitualcd must not coino hero be cause" if they do rot immediately get work they will be reduced to poverty and desperation become haters of the oxidling order of thing" becomu anarchists. While wo are excluding anarchists and material that would readily dc- velopo into anarchists , wo must not a'low thoi * ( ! we all andy have with ua ( for them are anarchist clubs in every largo city ) to go on increas ing in numbers. But what can we do to duck their growth ? Can we not do thin by wtippretsing the pub lication and ut'eranco of su.'h an- arcliiht dojtrine as burned in CVJgosz's brain until , driven to distraction , ho killed the president ? Therefore wo conclude that tl'O h'rsl amendment to the Constitution of the United Slates docs not justi fy the counselling of violence and murder and that anarchists can bo suppressed by relucting immigra tion and unking anarohisUo utter ances a crime.
