Said McKeighan in his acceptance
speech at Holdrege : "I mean no dis
respect to the defenseless dead when
I te//you that I am no democrat. "
No HONEST or earnest republican
is sneering at the honest or earnest
member of the people's party. But
every republican should be willing
to try to explain the real issues of
this campaign to his befogged
"populist" neighbor. And this
should be done cheerfully , patient
ly and honestly. Then there will
be no question about the result.

NEBRASKA niude a proud show
ing its the parade of Grand Arnry
veterans in Washington , having
nearly 1,000 men in line. "With
a larger percentage of veterans of
the Avar than any other state in the
union , the aggregate number be
ing 10,000 , this state takes front
rank in all matters pertaining to
Grand Armv interests.
IF Commissioner Peck of New
York is put in the penitentiary by
the national democratic committee ,
he will have lost all but his honor
and the gold medal that was award -
ed him at the Paris international
exposition in 1889 as the official
who showed the best system for
gathering and tabulating industrial
statistics. The democrat who will
not lie or at lea t suppress the truth
officially , for the benefit of his party
has a tough time of it these days.

THE evidence disclosed by the
Hartford firm that sold 3,000 revolvers -
volvers during the war , to the
Knights of the Golden Circle in
Illinois , with Adlai Stevenson as
one of the responsible purchasers ,
is calculated to make that ancient
copperhead squirm. It will not
Ihurt him any with the democrats
-of North Carolina , whom he is now
.addressing , but it will seriously
.impair his usefulness as a running
.mate with Grover in the loyal stat
es. Mxirder will out. Adlai has
been carefully concealing his tracks
all these years , but he neglected to
get the Arms Co. to destroy their
old books , and here you are.
Journal.
TENNESSEE reports a novelty in
the shape of a duel fought with
corn knives , the parties being a
white man and a negro. It has
long been felt that the "code" need
ed extension. Many have been
wearied in reading it over by the
tiresome repetition of the words
"gentlemen" and "pistols , " as if
there must be limitation as to the
class of persons meeting on the
field of honor and in the character
of the weapons. It will create a
feeling of satisfaction in a free
country and a liberal age to have
ifc known that the humblest mem
bers of society may engage with
out regard to color , and that the
humble but useful corn knife may
be employed as the means of ob-
lainiu"1 honorable satisfaction.
THE Atlantic Constitution in
quires , plaintively : "Why cnn't
we bank on our own faith and cred
it ? " and let whoever wants to issue
promises to pay that will be cur-
ieucy , as they did in the good olc
wildcat banking Democratic days
before the war. Says the Consti
tution : "There is but one thing
in the way , and it is this tax of 1 (
per cent , on currency , " meaning
the tax o 10 per cent , on issues eState
State banks. The Democratic par
ty advocates the repeal of this 10
ner cent. tax.
PROTECTION has proved a dis
tributor of great sums of money
not an agency for amassing it in
the hands of a few. The records
of our savings banks and building
associations can be appealed to in
support of this statement. The
benefit of protection goes first auc
last to the men who earn theii
bread by the sweat in their faces.
The auspicious and momentous re
sult is that never before in the
history of the world has com for I
been enjoyed , education acquired ,
and independence secured by so
large a proportion of the total
population as in the United States
of America. JAMES G. ELAINE.
THE union in Alabama of the
people's party and the Kolb faction
of the democracy is causing the re
gular democratic organization some
uneasiness. It is said to be entire
ly satisfactory to the leadiug re
publicans of the state. This com
bination was defeated at the state
election in August by highhanded
ed fraud , but the managers pro
pose that this shall not be repeat
ed in November. They intend to
take every possible precaution
against being again defrauded
and will call upon the United
States authorities for whatever pro
tection to voters they can give.
Kolb predicts the defeat of the re
gular democratsjby 40,000 , in which
event the electoral vote will go to
Weaver. The movement will be
supported by republicans general
ly , the more prominent of whom
think it has the best kind of a
chance to win. The progress of
the contest will be watched with
general interest. Bee.
THE time is not likely to come
in the history of this or any other
country when exact justice will
prevail in every department of so
ciety , or affairs of state be con
ducted in a manner to satisfy all.
But , looking back into the history
of all countries since the birth of
literature , and the general pros
perous condition in America today
has no parallel in this or any other
country. The republican party
does not claim all the credit for
this , but there is no questiou that
its policy of free homesfree schools
and protection to American indus
tries has been the prime factor in
our remarkable progress. The
leaders of the party have , since
its organization , represented the
cream of American statesmanship
the education , refiumeut and
moral force of the nineteenth cent
ury. It has taken the right side
of every great problem and forced
its solution in the face of demo
cratic opposition , and has won its
battles upon the merits of its
work. Journal.
Mr. Morton's diagnosis of the
difficulty with Van Wyck is a cred
it both to the wit and medical skill
of the Otoe medicine man. The
greatest outburst of applause which
greeted Mr. Morton at the opera
house the other night was when
he told of a gentleman who told
the speaker that he found the poli
tics of his family rather mixed.
He was a democrat , his Avife was
a republican , and his infant son
betrayed all the signs of being an
independent. He kicked and bawl
ed all of the time , and "never
seemed satisfied unless he was get
ting something. " The little fel
low was to be baptised on the fol-
owing Sunday , and it was agreed
ihat he ought to be called "Van
Wyck. " Journal.

THE sense of fair play , which is
a vital part of the American nat
ure , is thoroughly satisfied by the
history of the SULLIVAN-CORBETT
fight. In the annals of pugilism
there is no record of a combat
which was more squarely fought
out and decided on its merits.
There have been cases in which a
chance blow in the proper spot
has won the battle for the inferior
fighter or , at least , left the ques
tion undecided. When MITCHELL
tired SULLIVAN out by evading
him , in that famous fight in France
and forced a draw instead of get
ting the licking that was his due ,
there was a feeling of indignation
and resentment over the result , for
it was felt to be a triumph of trick
ery. But there was no foolishness
and no unfairness in Wednesday
night's fight. From first to last
Corbett outfought the champanion.
In every quality that is essential
in a personal combat he showed
himself superior. He hit harder
and oftener and just where he aim
ed to hit ; he dodged and swerved
and ducked with more agility and
litheuess ; he kept his temper per
fectly and smiled when his oppon
ent was tigerish with rage ; his
superior intelligence displayed it
self in what the "sporting fratern
ity" delights to call "generalship , "
and his superior strength showed
in the endurance which brought
him out at the end of the fight as
fresh and eager as when he enter
ed the ring , though he had done
the hardest and most active work.
There was not one round of the
twenty-and-oue in which the final
result was not foreshadowed. The
better fighter and the better man
won , and that is a highly satisfac
tory thing to know , even when one
considers prize fighting wholly de
plorable.
THE railroads are taking pre
cautions against spreading the
cholera over this country even
should it effect a lauding in New
York. They are refusing to car
ry immigrants inland until the
danger is over. If the steamship
companies would only adopt the
same course the disease would
cease to menace our chief seaports
almost immediately.
