Tbo Bee , in commenting on Governor
Savage's hope that the coming legisla
ture may enact a law abolishing capital
punishment , hands his excellency ouu
as follows : "Wo apprehend , however ,
that the prospect for the abolition of
capital punishment by the next legisla
ture is not much better than the pros
pect of its repealing the law that makes
embezzlement a penitentiary offense
punishable by from one to twenty
fo years. "
Now that the place and time for hold
ing the republican congressional con
vention of the Third district has been
decided , it is up to the voters of the
party to decide from the largo field of
candidates who will make the best race
and best represent the interests of the
district after election. It is no easy
task , as there is an usually good field to
choose from aud it is a year when the
very bt st of the list should be selected ,
It might bo just as well to let the
people over across do the kicking about
Morgan's merger. They appear to have
the greatest reason for complaint at the
present time aud it is not improbable
that they would be perfectly satisfied
if the merger captain belonged to them
and would establish the headquarters
over there. The United States appears
to have a distinct advantage through
the couibinat on aud the European
countries have reason to be jealous and
fear the results.
The political enemies of the adminis
tration are brushing up their oratorical
machinery and are giving it a few jabs
in their usual Billingsgate style that
never did have much effect with the
'common people" whom they hope to
influence. As la customary , the policy
of the government in the Philippines
comes in for ( he most vigorous denunci
ation , but the people are left to wonder
if the conduct of the war would bo on a
more hmnauitarian plane if left to such
men as Tillmau and Monny , who are BO

the prospects that this city is at last to

The Tlmos-Trlbuno of this city 1ms
announced the candidacy of Mayor D.
J. Kooiugstoln for the nomination of
governor on the fusion state ticket. In
the opinion of many who know him ,
Mayor Koonlgstoln is bettor than his
party and the fnsionlsts might do
great deal worse than to name him for
the position. Hois a young man , free
from ring rule , and has many qualities

Governor Ezra P. Savage has at last
deciphered the writing on the wall , or
hax had a Daniel read it for him , and
has announced his withdrawal from the
race as a candidate for governor before
the state republican convention. Ho
has taken a month's advantage of his
fate and those who have opposed him
hardly know whether they are pleased
or not. They had It planned to show
him public sentiment regarding his re
cent oilloial acts and are almost sorry
thiit ho has road the message in advance
of the convention. The suspicion is
created that ho may have takou this
course so that ho might give greater
tiuio and iufluonco to aid the candidacy of
a friend or sympathizer , and those who
have opposed him will continue to ob
serve his movements until after the con
volition. His resignation is a decided
victory for the press of the state and
though the announcement of his with
drawal anticipates the action of the
con volition as urged by the press
the victory is none the less distinct
and decisive , and Mr. Savage or
the Hartley interests can never
hope to bo a factor in the republican
party , lie , perhaps , never did a greater
service to the party which ho used as a
stopping stone to aid him to ofllco and
power , only to abuse the sentiment ex
pressed by it in convention , than by an
nounciug his withdrawal and thus to
some extent clearing the political atmos
phere , and leaving its energies to bo dl-
rojtol toward circumventing the prob
able desires of the politicians with
whom ho has trained. If his with
drawal is for the purpose of deceiving
the rank and fllo of the party into the
belief that his supporters have roliu-
q ulslied all designs on the party and the
ollicos , it is safe to say that it will bo
void of effect and the people will see to
it that caudsdates are named who have
no sympathy or nfllliation with the com
bination. There are worthy men in the
Hold and the party is determined that
they shall bo given the uomiuatious.
The free traders are already begin
ning to circulate highly colored and
sensational stories about how the people
are being robbed by the tariff , indicat
ing beyond a reasonable doubt what the
paramount issno will be by the time
1004 rolls around. Starting in this early
with such gross exaggerations as they
have been guilty of , it is feared that by
the time the campaign opens they will
bo telling stories that would cause Jules
Verne or Rider Haggard to blush with
shame and jealousy. Protectionists
and all republicans will probably bo
protectionists where any country not as
closely associated with us as Cuba , is
concerned should keep a sharp eye and
nail their falsehoods as fast as they are
sprung. It will bo harder to work up
the necessary sentiment this time than
it was in 1803 for the free traders. Then
the people studied the question in all
its phases and following the study they
had a practical lesson concerning fiee
trade conditions that they are not likely
to forgot , in a generation at least. As a
sample of what the free traders are at
present attempting an instance or two
might be cited : The Now York Eve
ning Post , in a combined attack on the
tariff and the steel trust , printed a glow
ing picture of how the railroads were
compelled to charge ozhorbitant freight
rates in order to meet the exao
tlon of this corporation. The American
Economist finds that Mulhall , the
famous statisticion , had learnedjust before
fore his death , that the freight rates in
this country are less than in the
other leading countries of the world.
His figures , in cents per ton per mile ,
are : The United States , 0.8 ; Holland ,
l.fiO ; Belgium , l.GO ; Germany , 1.G4 ;
France , 2 20 ; Russia , 2.40 ; Italy , 2.00 ;
the United Kingdom , 2.80. The railroads -
roads of the United States are constan
tly reducing freights and other countries

during the ten years from 1800 to 11)00. )
Thin taken especially well iu the west
where the true situation Is not known.
The census bureau given enbstantlal
denial of such figures in its statistics
concerning the manufacturing industries
of Now Joruoy. It shows that , whorous
thorowasan average of 1711,778 wage
earners employed in that state during
1800 , there are now 211,681 , an increase
of HO per cent. The total wages paid
a decade ago wore 182,1)14,118 ) , while iu
1000 the total wages paid wore
$110,088,005 , or an increase in the ton
years of . ' 12.7 per cent. In preparing
their campaign figures the free traders
should not overlook such facts as Mul
hall and the census bureau are likely to
have given out. With such exagger
ation It cannot bo wondered that such
disastrous results followed the free trade
administration iu 1802. It was found
an utter impossibility to have conditions
agree with their pre-election statements
and consequently the people wore early
and effectually undeceived as to the true
ni tuatiou.
< I. KtcrlliiK Morton.
In the death of J. Sterling Morton of
Nebraska City , this state has suffered
an Irropairable loss. No public man the
HtatohaH over produced has accomplished
more for Nebraska or loft more behind
him to toll coming generations of his
worth than has Mr. Morton. Some
may bo inclined to criticize this state
ment , but Tin ; NKWH believes the facts
are on record to Drove it. Coming to
Nebraska iu an early day whou the
state was little known and was low in
the regard of these who know it , Mr.
Morton has been a potential factor in
its development and upbuilding. In
every step of progress made by the in
fant commonwealth and especially that
portion of it lying tributary to his hometown
town , Mr. Morton's Hue discernment is
manifest. Ho had a way of suggesting
creditable movements and inducing the
people to follow his suggestions. Otoo
county and Nebraska City especially
abound with marks of his forceful
effort. Aibor Lodge , the park , the
Overland theatre , the Morton public
library , the starch works and cereal
mills , the packing industry , the Con
servative , the Tribuuo , and many other
enterprises are monuments to his ability
and energy.
The state lias him to thank for Arbor
day , which is observed on his birthday ,
April 23 , of each year , and many line
groves and fruit orchards undoubtedly
ewe their origin to the inspiration ho
has given as the earnest and persistent
advocate of tree planting. The state
is likewise indebted to him as the origin
ator of the state historical sociotj' , of
which ho was the perpetual provident.
Tlmt society has been successful in
accumulating many of the early
historical facts relating to this part' of
the country and has made a start to
ward recording the events of the state's
history that will be of untold value to
coming generations. lie has served the
state iu various political capacities
with credit and honor. His last intro
duction to state politics was iu 1802
when as a candidate for governor ho
made a three-cornered fight , with
Crounso and Van Wyck as opponents.
Following this campaign ho was intro
duced ns a figure iu national politics by
receiving the appointment of secretary
of agriculture iu President Cleveland's
cabinet. With Cleveland ho separated
from his party when it followed Bryan
and the free silver movement and he
has since bneu independent of party
policies , a situation which ho appears
to have enjoyed thoroughly. As secre
tary of the bureau of agriculture he
instituted many notable reforms and
advanced the condition of agricultural
ists materially , ho himself being a prac
tical and successful farmer. A number
of the states of the union have adopted
his Arbor day plan of encouraging the
planting of trees and probably there is
no plan of his that will better servo to
perpetuate his name than this holiday.
His energetic , progressive spirit has
been inherited by his sons , who have
been successful iu advancing to positions
of honor and responsibility. His three
surviving sons are Paul Morton , vice
president of the Atchisou , Topeka &
Santa Fo railroad company ; Joy
Morton , head of the starch company and
having a controlling interest in a num
ber of the Morton industries at Nebraska -
braska City ; Mark Morton , is treasurer
of a leading salt company and is a
factor in the financial circles of Chicago ,
iu which city all of his sons make their
homo. Ills youngest son , Carl Morton ,
died a year ago last January at Wank-
egon , 111. , of pneumonia. He was the
companion and favorite of bis father ,
who felt his loss keenly , it being con
sidered that the death of his sou had
considerable to do with hastening the
decease of the father.
Mr. Morton was a great friend of the
young men and was always pleased to
aid them with his advice and encourage
ment. He is a worthy example to the
young manhood of the country and his
influence will undoubtedly bo felt down
through the corridors of time. Not
only will his life be an aid and encour
agement to the young men but no name
has been so indelibly engraved in the
history of Nebraska as that of Morton.
The ftate and the country will remem
ber bis service with devotion and grati
tude , and his birthday will continue to

The Europeans should bo cautions as
to how they find fault with Mr. Morgan's
merger of ( steamship lines. If they got

have no excuse for any steamship lines
whatever.
Texas has had an early visit from
her regular-cyclone visitant , which left
death and distraction In Its path. Ne
braska has reason to bo glad that It is
apparently out of the path of these
death-dealing storms. The reasons are
multifold why a person should be glad
ho is a resident of this commonwealth.
It is stated that Governor S.xvoge's
friends induced him to withdraw from
the raco. It will now bo of interest to
the republican voters to ascertain whom
tno governor's menus wisn to DO in tno
race , and ho they should oppose if they
wish the republican party of the state
to bo removed from the swamp into
which they have run it.
W. M. Robertson of Norfolk is receiv
ing some 'flattering endowments as a
gubernatorial candidate. Ho has a
strong following , not only iu the Third
district , but throughout the state. The
Nonpareil believes Mr. Robertson would
make a good governor ; and one thing
is certain , if he is elected Ez and Joe
and their gang will have to take a seat
out in the back yard. Central City

So soon after the American navy has
exterminated a largo portion of the
Spanish navy , it is rather disheartening
to have Chairman Fcss of the house
naval committee make the apparently
bold statement that the nnvy of this
country is rather below the average of
the world's navies. Ho furnishes good
evidence however that the navy needs
strengthening by introducing a bill ap
propriating above $77,000,000 , for the
construction of ships and armament and
equipment , .
The Albion News announces that
"Ideals , " the Nebraska magazine issued
at that place , the first issue of which ap
peared in April , will hereafter bo pub
lished by an incorporated stock company
of citizens of that place. The capital
stock is $3,000 , which places the enter
prise on a solid financial basis and will
insure its success. The business of ttte
company will bo in charge of a board of
directors composed of C G. Barnes , D.
J. Pointer , V7. F. Buily , R. W. Hanson
and A W. Ladd.
Judge Robertson has many old friends
in this county who are staunch support
ers of his candidacy for governor and
ho made a very favorable impression on
these whom ho mot for the first time.
Judge Robertson is unquestionably an
mini , wiio
if nominated and elected would bring to
the executive branch of the state gov-
nruuient the stamina that would make
him governor in fact as well as in.name.
Present indications are that Cedar
county will be in the Robertson column
with thirteen enthusiastic supporters.
Hartiugtou Herald.
The supporters of W. M. Robertson
for governor are growing in number
and the enthusiasm inspired by his
name is increasing iu intensity and
fervor. Commendatory words come
from all parts of the state and the indi
cations ore that by the time the con
vention meets iu Juuo he will have a
walk-away for the position. Such an
outcome would please his friends im
mensely and they would take off their
coats and work with a will for his
election , knowing that their efforts would
result in making a governor who would
bo a credit to the state.
Now York City , from which all the
democratic inspiration for the entire
country formerly originated , appears to
bo sadly on the down grade as the breed
ing place of democratic truth and fall
acies , the party there being worse split
up than over before in the history of
the country. It is now asserted that
the representatives of Bryan democracy
and other elements of that party in the
country's metropolis are attempting to
unite against Tammany , and as a con
sequence the force of the party will be
badly scattered. A republican exchange
figures that New York may not be nec
essary to the republicans two years
hence but the chances are that they will
get it whether they need it or not.
The Vienna paper that accuses the
Americans of being cruel , blood-thirsty ,
ferocious , bestial , and worse than can-
uibals on general principles , must have
been reading the speeches of the ant is
in wncmu * sa reported in the yellow
reputation they are giving their country
men abroad , for mere political effect at
homo. With anch a result of their sen
sational fabrications they can never ex
pect to reach the hearts of their country
men as they desire. No really good pa
triot will wish to support a class of pol
iticians whoso only ambition is to be
smirch the fair name of their country
and traduce the boys who have taken
the field to fight her battles.
At a mooting of Methodist clergyman
and laymen iu Chicago recently , evi
dence was furnished that a movement
is under way to do away witn some of
the strict disciplinary rules of that body.
A member of the conference made a
radical declaration and a number of
these present agreed with the views ex
pressed. It was said : "If the clergy
of the M E. church expect to keep their
young men and women in the fold , they
must do away with the restrictions
against card playing , dancing and at
tendance at the theatres. If they are
not allowed to follow the dictates of
their conscience they will attend
churches where they will bo allowed to
do so , or they will not attend church at
all. "
The western country , where the
farmers nro the basis of all prospi rity
is not largely interested in the fight
against the meat trust. The people nro
satisfied that as long as the prices con
tinue to go up the worth of stock and
the feed they raise , will follow
innrn nr IORQ nlncftlv in t.linrn.lrn nf
the meat. Hogs and cattle represent
good money at present. The fact that
the census report shows that Nebraska
is" the fourth state in the union as a cat
tle producer is not a good argument why
Nebraska people should oppose any com
bination having for its object the raising
or maintaining of good prices for cattle
and their products Texas , Iowa and
Kansas are the only states that show a
lead over this state in the industry.
A Sunday school teacher of Canton ,
Ohio , took exceptions to a temperance
Sunday school lesson that told the
children that Dewey and his men took
liquor at intervals of every twenty min
utes during the battle of Manila bay ,
and wrote to the admiral concerning
the statement. He replied that every
participant iu the battle , from himself
down , had fought with coffee alone for
a bracer , and adds that the laws of the
United States forbid the taking of liq
uor aboard ship , except for medeciual
purposes , and that they had no liquor
that could have been given the men ,
oven though such a raticu might have
been desired. Thus is punctured an
other of these fabrications that have
been circulated concorniug Manila and
the Philippines.
With the death of J. Sterling Morton
the Conserativo , of which he was the
founder and editor , ceases to exist. It
was his last work aud it is quite appro
priate that his death should bo the cause
of its suspension. Many will miss it as
being the medium through which a
strong mind communicated with a host
of readers , but it is recognized that its
individuality must go out with the life
of its editor. The Nebraska City Tri
bune makes the following announce
ment regarding the publication in Tues
day's issue : "The Conservative , the
weekly review which Mr. Morton estab
lished upon his return from Washington
and which he often spoke of as the last
work ho should undertake , has porvec
its purpose ana will be discontinued
This week's issue will be the last Con
servative there will ever be. "
With all the glowing eulogies written
and spoken in his memory , it is probable
that nothing would better please J
Sterling Morton were he permitted to
indicate a preference , than to have trees
planted and dedicated to his memory
His friends hope and expect to see Arbor
day given additional significance nex
year and increase in importance auc
popular estimation each succeeding
year. It has merit and worth to supper
it. Not only out of respect for hi
memory , but for the inestimable benefi
to bo derived , THE NEWS would like to
see a movement undertaken whereby
every man , woman and child in the
state could plant a tree next Arbor day
Such a result could be accomplished by
thorough organization in every city
town and precinct in the state , ant
those who had no property on which to
plant could bo permitted to set out a
tree on public property or along the
streets and roads of the state. Such a
memorial would be most gratifying to
Mr. Mortion if he were alive to expres
his wishes , would be of value to the
people of the state and its benefit the
inheritance of generations unborn.
The World-Herald takes a jab at a
certain populist and his party because
ho sneered at the trust question ns an
issue and observed that "tho fuslouists
are selling beef cattle these days am
the price is seven cents per pound. '
The paper doesn't deny that the popu
lists may be profiting by the situation
but reprimands them severely for allow
ing a merely pecuniary consideration to
cause them to lose sight of a great pnrtj
principle , admonishing them that thi
democrats would not be guilty of for
saklng a principle on such an idle pro.
text. It is a reminder of the last cam
paign when Mr. Brynn , the World-
j endeavoring to divert the attention of
heir people from the dollar to the man , ' "
alleging that the American manhood '
was drifting iu the direction of worshiper
or the almighty dollar. This might
lave worked were other people getting
all the dollars , and the voters wore left
nothing but their American manhood ,
o contemplate , but everyone was re
ceiving a share of the general prospor-
ty and they could not sco just where
ho American manhood was being nt- - ,
orly and Irredeemably debased so they
decided to support the dollar and their f _
doa of manhood , which , they could not
bo made to believe , had shown much of
a debasement since they were compelled

The last issue of the Hartiugton Her- „
aid announces the withdrawal of Hon. ' f
Tohu D. Haskell of Wakofield from the
race as a candidate for the republican
lominatlon for governor. With the ( '
kiudlloit feelings toward JMr. Haskell
he friends of W. M. Robertson of this
f
oity are pleased that he has takou such
a step. They recognizo- the fact that
Air. Ha'koll would have been a power
ful factor in the contest hud he decided '
o allow his name go before the conven-
ion and he would have had a strong
aud energetic following of friends to
urge his fitness for the place. His with
drawal cloara the atmosphere in the
north half of the state considerably and
here is yet hope that this section may
jo to the convention enthusiastically
united ana mnlco its muuonco ton m
that body to the extent that it will re
ceive merited recognition. The Hart-
ingtoii paper says : "The Herald had
the houor a few weeks ago of suggest
ing the name Oi Hon. John D. Haskell
of Wakofield in connection with the
gubernatorial nomination. The large
number of complimentary notices that N
tiave appeared in the newspapers of the
state since then must surely be very
gratifying to Mr. Haskell and his
'
friends. In a recent conversation with " " _
him , Mr. Haskell told the writer that
10 is not a candidate for the office of
governor or any other office for that
matter. The Herald regrets to make
this announcement for it believes that
Mr. Haskell would be a very formidable
candidate aud if nominated aud elected
he certainly would prove a splendid ex
ecutive. "
