"The only time England can use an Irishman is when ho emigrates to Amer ica and votes for free trade." London Times. Nebraska is preparing to join the democratic states. The foregoing, from the Democrat, is another instance of lying or lnnacy. It is stated that cholera is raging in Prosqne Isle county, Mich., and many people are dying from its effects. Nine havo died in one day. Tke P ipeoed Ameaameat. The Journal has steadily advocated the submission of the question of an amendment to the state constitution in regard to the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors, to a vote of the people! After it shall have been submitted, we. believe the 'best thing to do will be to vote'against'its adoption. There are good reasons, to our way of thinking, for these positions. Courts have so uniformly held to the right of the people to rule on this sub ject, that that right is no longer ques tioned by any good authority, whatever. We believe in the doctrine of the peo pie's rule, because while they may not always be right, they-sincerely intend to be so, and are much more likely to be so, on questions of general interest af fecting the welfare of the whole commu nity, than any clique. Whether the majority of the people are right or wrong, in the renactment of. law, it is good citizenship-' to obey the laws and help to enforce them, at least give the executive officers, one and all, the strength and 'encouragement of your influence in their good work of fulfilling their official obligations in seeing that the laws are executed. This we affirm on general principles, but moreparticu- larly as to the present Slocum, high- lrcenso Jaw, adopted by a . republican legislature, and now. strongly endorsed by the people of the state generally, as good legislation 'and the best practical way of meeting 'the acknowledged evils of the liquor traffic. m The people have the 'right to vote on this question and the Journal 'favors the exercise of that right. If the question shall" be submitted, after a thorough canvass as to whether it onght to be or not, then will be seen the strength of the prohibitory method of dealing with the evil, aside from par ty politics. Until there is an honest effort to en force the laws we now have, by those interested in this subject, it is nbt prac tical good sense, in' our opinion, to ask for more stringent laws that will be so much more difficult of enforcement, re quiring more officials, greater expense of prosecution, etc., without one cent of revenue derived from the traffic, which would yet be carried on, to a-greater or less extent By all means submit the question to a vote of the people, then vote against the prohibitory amendment and defeat it; after that, the average citizen oan say, if the subject is broached "Let us have a rest." When nn Omaha landsman is capable of inventing the first practical torpedo, it is high time to fill the navy with smart Omaha men. Bee. "Grover Cleveland has done more to advance the cause of free trade than any prime minister of England has ever done." London Spectator. The latest report last week from Jack sonville, Florida, relative to fever, was, for eighteen hours, six new cases; one death, 67 under treatment and weather warm. Betublican members of congress are circulating copies of the Mills bill as a campaign document. We acknowledge the receipt of one from Senator A. S. Paddock. Last week it was reported that yellow fever was still on the increase at Jack sonville, Fla. Thousands of citizens havo left their homes and the exodus still continues. Gov. Thayer was honored at Denver, by being chosen chairman of the deep water convention on the 29th ult. No citizen of Nebraska will refuse to ap preciate heartily, the honor accorded Nebraska's governor. William Miller of Columbus, Ohio, while showing a revolver to one of his children the other evening, accidentally discharged it, the ball striking his'moth er standing a. few steps away, instantly killing her. The resolution offered by Hoar in the ' senate and amended by Edmunds, call ing on the president for all correspond ence between the United States and Great Britain in regard to the fisheries .troubles, has been agreed to. The Grand Island Times suggests that if Frank Hufd, the free trade democrat, is sent west to speak for the Mills bilLW. H. Gibson a youth of twelve presidential -campaigns, be -put on his trail. A very good suggestion. We have heard Gib son several times, and a speech from him is always a rich treat for republicans.' The Democrat announced some weeks "ago that D. C. Kavanaugh had been ap-. pointed deputy collector, etc" etc Some two -weeks ago he Journal said it seemed the ..appointment had not yet been made. This week's paper contains .a reference, to the same subject. Any -good fortune that may happen to Mr. Kavanaugh, will cause pq "hyena smile' t.these headquarters, Well Said. Gen. B. F. Tracy, in taking' the chair as temporary chairman of the New York republican state convention, said: "You meet under circumstances of the gravest importance. Not since 1861, wnen tne democratic national convention solemnly declared in its platform that the war for the union was a failure, and demanded that it should be brought to a speedy end, has a more important polit ical issue been presented to the Ameri can people than that presented by Pres ident Cleveland's free trade messageand the Mills bilL The issue of 1861 in volved the existence of the nation; the issue of 1888 involves the continued ex istence of our manufacturing industries and commercial prosperity.. The situa tion is alarming. Nothing in the future of the nation can, I apprehend, be more certain than this that if the policy of legislation indicated by the president's free trade message and the Mills bill become the permanent policy of this country, the nation will suffer a disaster second only to that it would have sus tained by the triumph of the rebellion itself. In this supreme emergency New York again becomes the pivotal state. If her people are made to see clearly, and apprehend fully, the danger that con fronts us, the result is not doubtful. "Gentlemen of the convention, permit me to congratulate you that the present campaign finds the party acting under a wise and united leadership; and. when united, the republicans of New York are, and always were, invincible. We might add that among the other things well said at the convention was the declaration in regard to what the foreign policy of the government should be: "The republican senators in congress in rejecting the treaty relative to the fisheries, negotiated with Great Britain, acted in accordance with the dictates of just patriotism, and correotly asserted American rights and national honor, while the message of President Cleveland transmitted on the 23d of August is a confession that his administration has been grossly negligent of its duties in the protection of American fisheries, and has invited new annoyances and aggres sions on the part of the Canadians by failure to make manful protests, and to employ the peaceful means of self de fense committed to him. The republi can party favors a foreign policy which shall do no wrong to our nearest neigh bor, and shall brook no indignity from any power on earth, and by insisting on fair play on sea and land shall, through justice, insure peace with all nations." The State Fair. A correspondent of the Omaha Re publican writes in .regard to the State Fain "A special feature of this fair will be the county exhibits. Last year from twelve to fourteen counties made from large to indifferent expositions. This year thirty-two counties will be on the grounds on a much more elaborate scale. Custer county is coming in with two car loads of her products. Many wall have a car load each. One county intends to exhibit in a native sod house. It is plain, to see that these exhibits will make a perfect wilderness of vegetables, fruits, flowers, art products and specialties. .The sneed attractions also Dromise to 'excel any former year. "Among the special attractions provi ded by the board will be the Indian school from Genoa, which will be on the grounds and continue in practical ope ration during the fair. The industrial school at Kearney will also have a class present during the fair, to show what they do out there and how they do it - "United States fish car No. 1 will sit on the grounds during the entire fair, showing the process of hatching, catch ing and caring for (he finny supplies Uncle Sam furnishes to the streams of the. nation. In connection with this car will be the exhibit by the state fish com mission. This will be doubly large compared with any former year. The commissioners expect to show all the fish that can be successfully bred in Nebraska waters, with the possibilities of the leading streams. This will be one of. the finest features of the big show. Other special attractions are' being sought after and will be announced later." may be sick of the threatened submis sion of a prohibition amendment. The candidates have been- ingeniously dis tributed among American citizens of foreign birth and descent .With an Irish-American for governor,! a .duuouiuui wr iioumhiiuiii Kuvwruor, m (.Englishman for secretary of state, a German for land commissioner and a Scandinavian for elector, the demo cratic bear-trap is baited for all kinds of game. The nomination of McShane for gov ernor may also mean more than appears on the, surface. On this point, however, we reserve our conjectures until we know that McShane has accepted. If he' does accept in the face of inevitable defeat .'by -at least : twenty' thousand majority, we may look for interesting developments. In view of the fact that there is. not .the remotest chance of electing any man on the democratic state ticket, it is hardly worth while to "discuss the candidates with any critical eye as to their fitness to fill the respec tive positions to w,hich they have been nominated. Bee. . . - It requires nerve to do what the North Carolina rice growers are .'doing. They are electing democratic congressmen and casting their votes for 'Cleveland and free trade. They have for long years been giving their influence against the party which is pledged to protection and to the party which is pledged to destroy it. They ore standing "today "o'n a - plat form which endorses -the Mills bill. They thereby Bay that they are in favor of withdrawing from flax growers 26 per cent And yet in face of all this they. have the nerve to hurry before the re publican senate and implore them hot to disturb the 112 per cent- protection which as rice growers they enjoy. .Some sublime genius has remarked that what is sauce for the goose ought to be good for ihe gander. The circumstances which occasioned this famous saying could "not have been more rankly sug gestive than the attitude of the demo cratic rice growers of North Carolina. Sioux City Journal Died at 104. Samuel Morse died at the 'great age of 104. .He was born in 1781 in" George town, on the St John river, in New Brunswick, and married there some flighty years ago.. All his active life he was a soldier in the English army. In 186T"he removed to Calais, and for the last twelve years had lived in the vicinity of Portland, Maine.- V- A few yeans ago Gen. Alger at that time governor olMichigan gave tb his old comrade-in-arms. Gen. Sheridan, $10,000 in money toinvest in a life insurance polity that should be kept up for the benefit pf tho widow.

Horrible. Batehery. A most horrid affair is reported from Guide Bock, Webster Co., Neb., Sept 1st On Mr. -Weeks's farm threshing was being done; a man named John Baker was feeding the thresher, and a young boy, name not given, was cutting bands. The knife accidentally gripping from the boy's hand struck Baker on the hand inflicting an ugly wound. Wild with rage he dropped his bundle, seized the boy, threw him on the platform, and in a moment, hie feet were among the teeth of the cylinder. So soon as the boy's cries were distinguished above the din, men rushed forward, but half the boy's body had already disappeared and the boy was dead. The threshers made short work of Baker, hanging him till dead from the straw carrier. In a big fire Sunday morning at Balti more seven fine four-story iron and brick front buildings on Sharp street, valued at 81,000,000 were destroyed. In the fall of one of the walls, nine firemen' were buried, seven of them being killed. Alex, and John Kelly were taken out alive. John's left eye was burnt out of its socket and his head badly mashed, but the surgeon says he will recover. Alex.'s right arm was broken and his side badly injured. Two of the houses contained large supplies of gun' and re volver cartridges: these, for a quarter of an hour, kept up a lively fusilade, the bullets going through the windows on all sides hurting only one man,a slight wound near the left eye. Ex-Congressman Townsend, of Cleve land, Ohio, hit the nail on the head when he remarked that "if the president had made the discovery that England doesn't run the United States a year ago it would have been a good thing for him." Mr. Cleveland's hindsight is re markably clear. He saw the mistake of his one-term declaration, his civil service -reform order and his free trade message after they were all given to the public. It is the. same with the fisheries. Sew ard Blade. V. A. McAllister. The Schuyler Sun has this to say of Hon. W. A. McAllister Who will undoubt edly receive the unanimous support of the senatorial convention of this district and be the republican nominee for sen ator: "Mr. McAllister has represented Platte county twice in the state senate and as the Humphrey Independent says, 'his record was pronounced good. His past experience in the legislature will be an incalculable help to aid him to ac complish results. He is entitled to a re election as a recognition of his faithful labor for the county in the past and he will receive it'" The third party in Nebraska, known as the prohibition party, is not satisfied with the submission plank in the re publican platform. No sane man ever expected that it would be. The third party has not been pacified in Maine, where prohibition has been on the stat utes for over thirty years. It is not satisfied in Iowa and Kansas, where prohibition amendments have been sub mitted, adopted and reinforced by iron clad laws. The third party does not propose to be satisfied with anything short of the breaking up of the republi can party and a division of offices and patronage among the third party agita tors. Omaha Bee. A Hellish Trafle. Mrs. Charlotte Smith, president of the Women's National Industrial League, has written Chairman Ford, of the house committee, now in New York investigat ing the immigration question, that syn dicates exist in New York and Boston for the purpose of supplying fresh, young.and pretty girls from immigrants arriving in this country for houses of ill-fame. Agents of the syndicate, she says, frequently go abroad and assist in this nefarious business. Immigrants ar riving in New York city, furnish, she says, 20,000 victims annually. . The citizens of Sidney are "anxious la secure a grist and flour mill.' The court house at Kearney will .be erected by Mr. King of Omaha. S. K. Feltbn of Omaha, Las. secured the contract .for putting in waterworks at Superior for 25,000. Miles Montgomery, of Dakota City, while bathing one evening last week at Riverside park, was drowned. It is said that fully ten thousand peo ple participated in the celebrating of the 'new stub bridge at Nebraska City on the 30th nit William Murphy, who has been work ing at Superior on the Northwestern railroad was drowned one day last week while bathing. . The Y. M. C. A. at Omaha need only 810,000 . to complete their building. Ten cents apiece from, the Christians there would do the work. . W. B. Bowell, of Sterling, an old resi dent and one of the very finest painters in the state, died suddenly in the office of Dr. Noff, on the 29th ult. Thos. B. Crewitt, one of the prominent business men of Schuyler, who' had gone to Colorado for his health, died at- Den ver, August 21th, of consumption. ' A number of Alexandria boys who were playing ball on Sunday defied the town marshal to stop the game, .but when the ladies of the place put in an ap pearance to remonstrate with the players took to their heels and ran away. Noah Boyd, 19 years old, was fatally injured by the bursting of a large emery wheel at the planing mill of Stephens & Sons, Omaha, last Tuesday. With every breath his brains would ooze for ward. He was. the only support of his mother, in delicate health. The State Journal says: "The Omaha Republican is justly indignant because the democrats of this city have ordered the uniforms for their flambeau club at the penitentiary. Convict cheap labor, yon know. There was not time, how ever, to send over to Liverpool for the pure democratic quill." Last Wednesday morning the section men found the body of a man on the Union Pacific track three miles west of Schuyler horribly mangled, and who had evidently lost his life while stealing a ride on the cars. He was seen around town the day before and gave his name as Henry Smith. Nothing more can be learned and it is not known where he belongs. At a' gravel pit near JohnBtown last Wednesday, while the section men were moving some cars down a grade to get them in position to load gravel, Mike Corrigan was thrown under the wheels and run over by five care. He was tak en to Long Pine and placed in the care of McKnight & Farleigh, who, upon in vestigation, discovered one leg broken, and serious internal injuries. He may recover. At the races at Norfolk on the 31st ult, a very valuable horse named Sur prise and owned and driven by A. Leach, of Omaha, in the free-for-all trot for an $800 purse, when reaching the last eighth of the first heat it was no ticed that Surprise, although in the lead at the time, suddenly dropped behind, but continued until past the judge's stand, when he suddenly turned half round, fell on his side and died in a few minutesl A serious, and, it may prove, fatal ac cident occurred ten miles south of Nor- den Monday of last week. A span of mules used in drawing up dirt from a well that is being dug for John Eby ran away as a basketful of sand was coming up. When the bucket struck the pulley it came uncoupled and fell into the well, a distance of 100 feet, striking Sam Jones in the side and crushing one leg. Assistance was immediately called and he was rescued from his uncomfortable position as soon as possible. Drs. Evans and Beattie rendered the medical and surgical aid, and he is doing as well as could be expected. One of the same mules kicked a brother of Jones last week and came near killing him. A special from Arborville, York coun ty to the York Times, dated August 23d, The porter of the Santa Cruz was sit , ting in the smoking compartment and .6 wi. uuv ut due wy ii the car. Fortunately the cars -toppled over a large, bank of dirt and cinders, which saved a large number of lives and the cars from total destruction. The passengers left for Cheyenne on a special at 9 o'clock. No one seems able to ac count for -tho broken rail, as it. is in a conspicuous place. While preparing to get breakfast for her husband and'.two children, last Tuesday morning, about 7 o'clock, Mrs. Walter Scott, residing at No., 311 North Eighteenth street, was burned to death 'by the explosion of a gasoline stove, about which she'was working; It seems that soon after lighting 'the stove burn er, Mrs. Scott discovered that there was not sufficient gasolino to cook the morn ing m6.nl. She turned off the blaze or at least thought she did and lowering the reservoir began refilling; it- While" thus engaged a terrific explosion occur red, .sending up a great burst of flames which, reaching the reservoir, exploded that and' threw the blazing liquid all over tho room, and literally drenching the .terribly unfortunate housewife. Her piercing screams brought Mr. Spott, wh'owasin an .adjoining room. He found his wifo dashing wildly about, a .mass of flames from head to foot The terrified husband's' first mora was -to attempt to tear off his wife's burning clothing, and at the samo time smother the flames. Ho succeeded in- the latter, 'but not un til tho wife had fallen m'a dead' faint Aid was immediately at hand- and the sickingly burned- woman was conveyed to the Child's hospital, where Drs. Lari mer and Somers -did 'all that medical skill could suggest for the sufferer. After a little while Mrs! Scott was broug'ht out of the swoon and became- conscious, b'tit experienced, such a state of conscious ness as. to which death is a blessing. She was an unusually-stout woman and being of a plucky disposition bore her horrible agony in a manner that was sur prisingly wonderful. She-spoke but very little. There was .but one spot on liter entire body that the flames had not touched,- that being a .space about as large as one's hand, on her back. In spite of her great fortitude and power of endurance, and all that the physicians could do, the poor woman died at noon, after suffering great agony. Omaha Republican. jecls. .

From oar regular correspondent. Cleveland's message on the rejection of the fisheries treaty is still the all ab sorbing topic of conversation here. It is a remarkable document; remarkable for the complete somersault which he has taken on this Canadian question; remarkable for its tone of belligerence and remarkable for pure unadulterated gall (no other word wonld express it so well.) He has suddenly discovered that repub licans were on the popular side of the question, and forthwith he proceeds to try to get a step in advance of the sen ate. This would be all very good, if it were not for the damaging fact that what is known as the "retaliation act" has been on our statute books for eighteen months; this act places unlimited pow er in the hands of the president for the protection of American interests, and while in his message he acknowledges that he has known of a number of in stances in which Americans have been unjustly treated by Canadians, he has done nothing, has not even protested against such treatment Now he asks for additional power to retaliate, and this is just where he has made a mis calculation, lie -has iio ill lent km of io taliating, ho only wants to make a little political capital, but he will find that the republican senate will not be one whit behind the democratic house in giving him all the power he wants, not withstanding the fact that he has lacked the necessary courage to make use of the power unanimously given him by congress a year and a half ago. When it comes to protecting American inter ests, the republicans are ' always in the lead, now as in the past If Cleve land and the democrats want to join the ranks, even at this the eleventh hour, and add their mite to the good cause, the republican veterans will give them a cordial welcome,but they cannot rule the campaign. The house is now in a deadlock on the Deficiency appropriation bill, for want of a quorum, owing to the large number of democrats absent from the city. The house has passed a resolution revoking all leaves, except those granted for sick ness, and it is hoped to have a quorum present by the middle of the week. Among the regular appropriation bills still unsettled, are the sundry civil bill, which is still in conference; the army bill which is in the same condition, the house having refused to accept the re port of the conference committee, and ordered a new one. The fortification bill has passed the house, and is now in the hands of the senate committee. If all these bills are not passed by Friday, another joint resolution extending the old appropriations will have to be pass ed. The nomination of Representative Goff for governor of West Virginia by the republicans has created a small pan ic among democrats here. They ac knowledge that the state is now a doubtful one. Mr. Goff is a very pop ular candidate, and deserves to be the next governor of his state. The house committee on-pensions has reduced the amount of the pension which is proposed to give Mrs. Sheridan to $3,000 a year. Representative Mat son, of Indiana, voted against giving her any pension. The pension has also been reduced to the same amount by the sen ate pension committee. Senator Hoar has offered a resolution requesting the president to send to the senate copies of .all communications re monstrating with the British ffovarn- ment against the conduct of Canada in regard to the canals; also copies of all demands made by the president for the redress of wrongs done to our fishermen. This is only a little bit of sarcasm on the Eart of the Massachusetts senator. Re nows very well that no such remon strance or demand is in existence. ' Senator Chandler used a part of two days last week" in telling how the demo crats carry elections in Louisiana and Florida. The practices resorted to are enough to cause everj; American citizen to blush for shame; but southern sena-' tors are always ready to defend them. The senate finance committee are still working on a substitute for the Milla bill, but owing to so many other im portant bills being before the senate just now, the members of the committee have had little time to spare in prepar ing the bill. The democratic party never willingly assumes the responsibility for anything so it;is not at all surprising to find them denying that they are to blame for the present disgraceful. state of affairs in the house.- If the majority is not to blame I should like to know who is. The ma- jonCX could have put a stop to granting leaves of absence at. any time, had they been so disposed.
