Webster City Freeman.
Does any one ever hear a democrat in
Omaha who is interested in railroad
stock between here and Chicago, say
that he would rather see cattle hauled to
Chicago, there made into meat and haul
ed back again for our consumption be
cause it would make commerce for the
road? Wouldn't any such democrat
rather see the entire corn crop of Ne
braska fed to the hogs to be slaughtered
here and converted here into starch and
glucose than to be shipped east for like
uses in.different cities? That is the sum
and substance of home manufactures
which the American system of protec

Fred Nye in Omaha World.
If colored democratic citizens of New
York and New Jersey are permitted to
form state leagues, and freely to cast
their votes, the same rights should be
extended to colored republican citizens
of other states, under the constitution
and laws. A republican form of govern
ment will result in a limited despotism,
unless the constitution and laws are
faithfully observed and executed. With
this state of affairs, equal rights, liberty
and freedom have not yet been secured
for the American republic. If this con
dition of neglect to execute the laws in
America continues it will not be difficult
for the wise men of the nation to pre
dict what will le the ultimate conse
quences to the people and the nation.

The Omaha Republican and the Lin
coln Journal ought to know by this time
that the anti-monopoly element of the
republican party in Nebraska is growing
and will make itself strongly felt one of
these days. They have been doing their
level best the past few years to keep the
wheels of olitical progress moving in
the right direction, and if such papers as
tho Omaha Republican and Lincoln
Journal will lay aside their prejudices
against the prevailing sentiment, the
councils of the party will be more in
accord with the tendency of the times.
Andrew R Graham of Wisner, who
is a candidate for state treasurer before

the state funds good habits, untiring
industry, unquestionable integrity and
a firm purpose to do right. The Jour

trict will make itself strongly felt in the
next state convention by securing nom
inations for at least two important state
offices.

are at work on the case.
Nine years ago Mr. Thurman in the
senate said in a speech on the Chinese

Is a war with England among tho

tho idea be popular in tins country?
Tho significant language used on tho
floor of tho senate during the discussion
of tho fisheries treaty has brought these
two questions prominently to tho front
just now. Senator Ruldleberger said at
tho conclusion of his remarks against
tho ratification of tho treaty: uVe will
never be a national government untjlv
have whipped England for tho third
timo. Our lioasted Monroo doctrine is
leing annulled and wiped from the faro
of tho earth today; and ve find gentle
men on tho other side of tho house(dem
Derate) saying wo must arbitrate or we
must fight. Tho party that stands out
Ixjldly against any concession by this
irovermiient of tiO.000.00t) people, is tho
only party fit to govern." The next day
Senator Teller in his speech on the same
subject said: "The United States will
never bo a free nation unless it asserts
that which belongs to it, and unless it is
ready and willing to stand up for that
wliich tho treaty of 1783 recognized in it
whether that were its boundaries or
its indejiendence. The jieoplo of tho
United States will get their rights
peaceably if they can, forcibly if they
must." The language used by thoso two
senators is endorsed by many other
memliers of congress, and tho defeat of
tho fisheries treaty which is absolutely
certain may lead to complications that
might result in war. So much for tho
first question.
As to the second, there is no denying
the fact that tho wave of intenso Ameri
canism that is sweeping over tho country
would make a war with England ex
tremely popular with the masses. That
this fooling is reflected in congress, may
bo readily seen in tho largo majorities in
favor of the resolutions to investigate
Canadian encroachments upon our
rights. Two of such resolutions havo
been passed by tho senate and ono by
tho house. Let England boware.

The local democrats of this city have
been trying to get up a ratification

as the "devil hates holy water."

rejKirt was adopted.
On motion tho following committeo on
resolutions was appointed: Brower of
Nance, Hilton of Merrick, Sutton of
Cheyenne. Mnrtin of Madison and Wor-
loy of Colfax.
Tho committeo on resolutions retired
to preparo their report. Tho audience
called loudly for A. G. Wolfenbarger.
Mr. Wolfenburger's apearenco upon the
stage ho electrified J,ho uudiejice that tho
wildest scene of the convention was
witnessed. Ho said the most remark
able featuro of tho political situation
throughout the country was the strong
est under current for prohibition.
The committeo on resolutions report
oil tho following which wero unani
mously adopted: Tho prohibition party
or the Third congressional district in
Nebraska in convention assembled,
heartily endorse the platform adopted
by the national convention at Indianap
olis and the last Btato convention at
Lincoln, and declares its devotion to the
prohibition candidates for president
and vice president. We cordially invito
sill tho voters and temperance workers
of tho district who are opposed to the
legal oxistenco of the liquor traffic and
its baneful and destructive effects to
join with us to secure the election to
congress of tho only candidate in tho
district who will stand uiion a platform
opposed to tho legalized sale of alcoholic
beverages in tho territories and tho
District of Columbia. We again charge
that the olitical management of the
democratic and republican parties has
shown a subserviency to the interests of
the liquor traffic, tho former seeking an
open alliance with the saloon and tho
latter having proved faithless to all its
pledges and pretences in the interest of
reform; and wo call upon all friends of
good order to assist us in our fight
against the greatest enemy to modern
civilization.
Three hundred and fifty-six dollars
campaign fund for tho Third district
was contributed by the different coun
ties after which convention adjourned
until Thursday morning at 9 a. m.
In the evening the delegates and those
interested in prohibition, paraded the
principal streets headed by tho Colum
bns brass band, repairing to Frankfort
Square where an open-air meeting was
hold and an address delivered by Rev.
Creighton of Lincoln to an attentive
audience of more than a thousand.

SPEAKS
m. Gould, Esq., General Agent Minneapolis Harvester Co., Omaha, Neb,
Dear Sir: -lt is being reported throughout this and adjoining counties that the
Minneapolis Harvester Co. had sold their nIioor nnd wnm im"mr t .Kcnn;nn
tho manufacture of thoir machines.
hen wo first heard or this we paid very little attention to the report, think
ing it fame froiAi some unprincipled machine agent who could not Bell a machine
or his own any Bther way than bv lying, but when so many of our customers cam
anil asked ns about, the matter, men to whom we expect to 'sell machines this
coming harvest, we are compelled to inquire into the matter. We have denied
the stone: all the time, and denounced them as lies and thought we were ri:ht in
doing so. Now we want the Tacts; if it is true, we want to know it, and ir it is a
he, we want to nail it. Please let us hear from you at once, as we want your letter
for publication. Very truly yours,
Ernst t Schwakz.
Mksshs. Ekkst & Schwarz, Columbus, Neb., Gt'iits.: I received yours today.
That report is entirely unrounded. I enclose copy of a letter received from tha
Company.
Von see it is a trick of men who can not hold their way against us, only by
trying to scare a farmer not to buy the " Minnie," hoping thereby to get a chance
to sell one of their own. Farmers need not fear. I havo no doubt they can take
your word, as well as that of a competitor.
If they lie about our machine, is it not probable they would lie again to sell
their own?
I will have a man there shortly. Do your best and I will help all I can.
Yours very truly,
Wm. Gouid, G. A.
Wm. Gould, Esq., General Agent, Omaha, Nob., Dear Sir: -Answering yours
relative to the rumors in Nebraska that the Minn 'upolis Harvester Works had
sold their shops and grounds and wero going out of the bushiest), we have to say
there is not one word of truth in them. They have not sold'tfieir shopd or
groundsAdare not going out of the business, and you can so' inform all parties
making'inniries regarding this matter. Yours truly,
