I ai Waters Next Wednesday' takes place the elec tion in the city to determine whether we shall issue $10,000 of city bonds, to ex tend the water works of the city, and $8,000 to aid in 'the construction of a wason-bridge across the Platte. . In certain quartera both these .propo sitions have been attacked, for special' rcaoonn, not necessary here to mention. .'The truth is; in our opinion, that the waterworks should, at first, have inclu ded what ts now. sought to .-be 'added. Of course protection was given at first to the business portion of the city,which was proper enough, being that part the loss of which would be most seriously felt -With good protection against fire better business houses will be erected, that would not be thought" of without that -protection. The time. is. "coming before long, if it is, indeed, hot now hero, when .the-demand will be strong for pro tection of dwelling houses. We th'ink that time is at hand .and shall vote ac cordingly: It Has beep said that the extension' will not benefit' the poor man, only the rich; this'is -a mistake. Lot more water be used and. the city will "bo." compelled to keep the supply" full and .fresh. Then, 'everybody will want the .water from the public 'wells. There'.is no. 'doubt whatever that, "when "kept flowing, the water is -much bettor' and purer than from the ordinary wells, and .certainly much more convenient -for many purposes. Besides, it is as. import-: ant that the homes of the poor-.be pro tected from fire as the homes of the rich; the.health of 'their, wives and .little' onesr is as dear-to them as to any; their gar dens and. lawns are as great a .pleasure to them as to any; with the use of water at every garden and lawn -in the city, what a wonderful change would be seen! And at what alight cost, too, all things considered! As to the bridge bonds, no sane man disp'utos the fact that we need the bridge. The only question is as to how to get it. If there is a better way than that' pro posed or any other feasible way, he who knows it aught to speak out." - It is certainly to the interest of every man who owns property here or does business of any kind in the city to ex tend and perfect facilities for transact ing business with the residents of this section of the state. No question of that, and it is .a mere figuring of a slight expenditure to receive a large addition to the income a permanent advantage. A Change of Editors Again. Of coursethe Hon. John A. McShane doesn't write for the Herald, but his swift, persistent and kaleidoscopic change of editors indicates that he holds an efFectiveclub over the heads of those who do write. This being so, we won der what Editor Calhoun will do after he has been discharged. The Hon. John A. McShane is running for govern or of-Nebraska. He needs every vote he can get, and about twenty-five thousand more. Naturally the soldier vote, a large one in this valorous and patriotic state, belongs in the main to General Thayer, McShane's opponent, who -was renowned in war. McShane was too young to go to, battle in the early sixties and had he gone there' is some doubt as to the side he would have fought upon therefore the great majority of Nebras ka's veterans have been with Thayer from the beginning. And Mr. Calhoun has settled the re mainder. In this morning's.Herald, al luding to the passage by. the Grand Army at Columbus, O., of a resolution favoring the granting of a service pen sion to the union soldiers of the late war he says: "Without discussing the mer its of' the resolution -it is pertinent to ask,.how far is the thing to go? Shall the old soldiers be allowed to acquire the whole-earth?' What'll you do with Calhoun, John? Yon can't afford to father this insult to the old soldiers. You can't afford to lose every soldier vote in -Nebraska. YouTl have to discharge Calhoun and get the next editor to apologize for you. When we pause and reflect, we're very sorry for John. We cant imagine where hell find Calhoun's successor. There aren't many newspaper writers lying around loose in Nebraska who will sac rifiice themselves by writing democratic editorials, and when you look for those who will add the sacrifice of personality to that of politics and play the stool pigeon to the Herald's owner, the num ber dwindles to something that looks like the minus sign in an .algebra prob lem. We are also -sorry for Calhoun. He has scarcely- warmed the chair. Oma ha World. Occasionally a southern politician under stress of excitement blurts out the real truth about things. Such a one is uapt. js. K. Tillman 01 JSdgeneia, B. G, who spoke in Charleston a few days' ago. The News and Courier, in its xe- portof the meeting, says: He said he had organized a company in 1876 at a little town in Edgefield, -where there were 200 white men and 600 niggers, "odds," he added, "that you never had down here." lie described the militia riots, the Ned Tennant epi sode, and other incidents, calling atten tion to the fact that in 1876 the hox at Shaw's Mill, in Edgefield county, which nad Deiore poiiea l.uuu raaicai majoniy, went democratic. -He next read editor ials from the News and Courier condemn ing the Hamburg killing as a horrible crime. "As I. stand here," he said, "I believe, before Almighty God, that but for that Hamburg riot Chamberlain would have "been governor of South Car olina and the state as safe today for the republicans as Vermont or Massachu setts. I proclaim it loud that I was one of the Hamburg rioters who dared even the devil to save the state." Even the democratic News and Cour ier is constrained to say that "Capt. Tultnan boasts he is a. redhanded mur derer of defenseless negro prisoners at Hamburg." Democratic newspapers never tire of shouting "bloody shirt'' when republicans denounce outrages on the blacks, and of denying that they are deprived of their right of suffrage; and. yet -here is a leading democrat who makes the public announcement that South Carolina would have been repub- - lican to this day but for butchery and mtoder.r-Chicago Tribune. - A xxw nights ago a gentleman who had undaessed and prepared for bed, blew out the lawp on the table and was groping his way across the room, when feeling for the bedhjtoe.strtfek some thing cold and pliant. The thing seem ed to open its month as the gentleman put the weight of his toe upon it, and he' jerked ap his foot in double quick time, while the thing held hold and dangled from Juv toe; There was lively daattiaf I around the daikeaed rooi,aadtheman made a lively racket with his mouth till he succeeded in slinging the thing aaross the room. Then he jumped upon the table ..and stood there 'until he oukl light a lamp. Over near where the thing had struck, the wall he .saw his wife's wire bustle lying oa the floor. He lock ed himself a. few times and then went to bedbut bis wife kept awake for an hour laughing at him. Detroit Free Press . . . " '. " . In noticing "Mr. Harrison's letter11 re cently, Mr. Morrissey shows that he has read 'American history, and remembers' the in,cident when a beaten British gen eral was compelled to send a communi cation to General Washington, which he addressed; to. "Mr. Washington, com manding forces.'' General Washington declined to receive 'any communication not 'addressed to him properly as "Gen eral Washington," Commander-in-Cnief of the Continental Army," and the proud Briton,- who had intended a slur, was 'compelled to. be. respectful." Mr. Mor 'risBey forgot' the latter part of the inci dent. Benjamin Harrison fairly earned the rank, of general by four years' bril liant service in the civil war, and accord ing to the polite custom of the country, the title is everywhere and at all times conceded to hinx-Omaha World. - ' THE.republicans of the First congres sional 'district held their convention on the 20th at Lincoln to nominate a can didate for that district. Mr. Connell, the' candidate from Douglas county, was nominated on the eighty-seventh ballot, Otoe and Pawnee counties cast ing a. solid vote, making the final .vote for Mr, Connell 85. Gage county moved that the -nomination be made unani mous. The announcement was received with tremendous cheers. -Mr. Connell was present and in response to a call and his nomination-took the stand and made a strong speech. Mr. Connell is a man of ability, with considerable talent as a public speaker, and in other re spects an unobjectionable candidate for the republicans. He will ably represent the First district in congress. Scmbneb's magazine for October is notable for the varied interest of its con tents and the. eminence of its contribu tions in their special .fields of work, among them being Lester Wallack, the Hon. Hugh McCulloch, Robert Louis Stevenson, Profs. Arthur T. Hadley, and H.H. Boyesen. The illustrations pres ent an equal variety of subject and treatment. Just now the article of Mr. McCulloch will attract .the universal at tention of politicians. - The ex-Secretary of the Treasury is. well qualified to treat of the problems of American politics, and whether you can agree with his views or not, you wQl find his touch of the subjects Free Ships, Revenue Re form, Immigration', Land Monopoly, very interesting reading. Lateb reports from the south up to tne 22d state that the terrible yellow fever is slowly spreading all over the south. Southern cities generally are panic-striken and citizens fleeing. The authorities at Memphis, Tenn., have con cluded to stop all passenger travel into Memphis from the east side of the Miss issippi river, and a strict quarantine will go into effect immediately. At New Orleans on the 21st it was reported that a portion of the railroad track' between Harrison and Yicksburg had been torn up by frightened people in order to force trains to stop. Great excitement pre vails on account of the fever at other places, including Jackson, Miss., Chat tanooga, Tenn, Decatur, AUl, Jackson ville, Fla. One day lost week General Harrison was kept very busy receiving, visiting delegations. One came from Danville and other points in Illinois, numbering from twelve to fifteen hundred. The other delegations came from Louisville and Covington, Kentucky, about eight hundred in number. They were receiv ed at University Park. A. T. Wilson, of Louisville, spoke briefly in behalf of the Eentuckians, and Gen. Harrison re sponded. Gen. Harrison made' a brief address to the Illinois delegation. The national democratic committee issued an address at New York on the night of the 22d to the. people of the United States. It is signed by W. H. Barnum, chairman of tho democratic national committee. Among other things is a postscript, which di rects that all. contributions to the na tional democratic fund should be made payable to the order of Charles J. Cauda. Shell out the democrats want your money. Quito a sum of it is need ed in New York. "All raw material free" is the latest ditch of the democrats at tins' writing. By "raw material these slang whangers mean all material perfected by the farm ers of the north, like wool, flax, hemp, broom com and so on. Only southern raw material like rice and sugar is to be protected. But at the rate the democracy is trying to desert itself there will soon .be nothing more said about raw material and they will all- swear that they never did say anything about .it State Journal. There is nothing more beautiful in a way than a perfect definition, Including all of its own. kind and excluding -all others. Next to the accurate definition is the simple and clear illustration, re" membered for a life-time, as for an in stance: "A trust is represented by a few big boys, who unite to handle a long pole and knock down the persimmons, at the same time punching the little fel lows who are slowly and painfully try ing to climb up the tree.'' The camprign in Indiana was fully opened last week. Both parties have distinguished speakers at work, with Judge Thurman and Mills to follow on the democratic side. It is claimed that all the local speakers of. the. state are also hard at work. Over 2,000 speeches are being delivered every night through out the state. The republicans of In diana are intent to bring about a clean vote with no stuffed ballot boxes to open, Two republican clubs of Omaha made quite a fine display Saturday night in a parade and the use of fireworks. In" a body, together with other crti-sens. to the number of 5,000 they called upon Mr. CooneH, the republican' nominee for ooagrass ia the First district, to tender him their coDgrataJations and approval ocawBoauaauon.

A republican mass meeting was held at Cooper union on the 18th which filled the large hall to overflowing. Hon.

Several Delegation!- Pay Their Respects to the Repablicaa NoMiaee. Indianapolis, Sept 19. Gen. Harri son's entire time today was occupied by visiting delegations, the presence of. so many old soldiers in the city holding their reunions during the continuance of the state fair adding to his callers. To day the veterans of the 8eventh Indiana cavalry called on him, and to them he made a short speech. In the afternoon he addressed a. delegation from Iroquois county, Hliuois, and one from La Porto county, Indiana, the two assembling to gether at the park. The speech On this occasion was the most important pf the day. In the course of his remarks the general said: You have not once, I think, in the campaign, heard any democratic speaker admit that even a low protective tariff was desirable. Those who, like Mr. Ran dall, have in former campaigns been used to allay the apprehension of our working people by talking protection, have been silenced. On the other hand, the republican party declares by its platform and by its speakers that a pro tective tariff is wise and necessary. There is the issue. Make your awn choice. If you approve by your votes the doctrine that a protective tariff is public robbery, you 'will expect your representatives to stop this public rob bery, and if they are faithful to you they will do it not 7 per cent of.it, but all of it Applause and cries of "that's so. So that I beg you all to recollect that you will vote this fall for or against the principle of protection. You are invited to a feast of happiness. Yon are prom ised foreign made goods at Tery low prices, and domestic competing goods, if any are made, at the same low rates. But do not forget that the spectre of lower wages will also -attend the feast iADDlause. and cries of "that's so.1 In evitable, as certain as the night follows the day, the adoption of this policy means lower wages. Choose, then, but do not forget that this cheapening pro cess may be pushed so far as to involve the cheapeninsr of human life and the loss of human happiness. Applause. Referring to the surplus he said the democrats did not know what to do with it and therefore deposited it in certain national banks. The government gets no interest oh it, but it is loaned out to citizens at interest If this surplus be used to purchase bonds with, it would restore it to the channels of trade. Continuing, he said: "It is not whether we will merely raise money to buy our bonds at a premium; no one would advise that, but will we -so use a surplus that we have on hand and cannot law fully pay out in any other way? Do our democratic friends propose to give the banks the free use of it till our bonds mature, or do -they' propose to reduce our annual income below our annual ex penditures by a revision of the tariff until this surplus is used, and then re- vise the tariff again to restore the equi librium?" TGreat applause.1 The .Thirteenth and Second Indiana veterans also called on the general, and with them, as on such occasions, shook hands with every one. The crowds were large and enthusiastic. THE MILLS BILL. 'A Short Talk to Werkiagawa. There is only one country in Europe in which the wages of labor are within a half of what they are in this country. That is Great Britain. Wages in Germany, France, Belgium and Switzerlan'd -are not one-third of what they are here. Those of Italy are not one-quarter. One duty of govergment is to protect the labor of its citizens. Last year cheap foreign labor was imported into the United States in the shape of manu factured goods .to the' value of $09219, 768. This was a. great wrong on Ameri can labor. In that immense amount of imports, permitted by our insufficient and defective tariff, the labor of women employed in the Manchester, England, cotton nulls, whose wages do not average $60 a year, came into competition with the higher priced 'labor of our southern and northern cotton spinners. In that mass of imports was the labor of Ger-1 man factory workmen averaging less I than wllo a year, and inat of women averaging less than $50 a year. Munich is a gallery and centre of art. German women with as many as ox children saw wood on the streets for 15 cents a day. .Maya inerdfalGod sink the United States 10,000 feet under the sea before the hideous spectacle -shall become an incident of our civilization! Nearly $700,000,000 worth of the star vation labor of Europe in the form of manufactured goods imported into this country last year! That which from Belgium in bales and boxes reore- seated the waf of 22 owto a daj f or I women and 46 cents for men; and the J a&ttSi?-L! a0muu . aim auu uuu iojuncucu steel and iron wages less than 80 cents a day. Compared- with these, the wages of Carnegie's men at Braddock are the incomes of princes. Italian labor in Italian merchandise was imported into tins country last -year, in competition with American la bor, at prices that should fill sensitive souls with horror. "andAlarm the thought ful 'for the' future of the human race. The pay.in the cotton factories ot Naples is 20 cents 'a day; of the'Neapolitan mar ble And granite cutters from 40 to. 50 cents a day, according to skill'; of coach men 96 cents; of women in lace factories 10 cents, and girls.7 cents; of soldiers in the army $2 a month. Of all the work men in the glastf works of Italy, only 'the skilled laborers receive as high as $1 a day, and laborera on farms, hoeing or making hay, from 15 to 18 cents a dayj working from sun to sun. God save America from such wages! In the Swiss. silk. goods which came into-our half protected country last year in' those 'seven hundred -millions of-.im-ports, was the'skilled labor of men at 41 cents a day, and of. women at 20 cents, both competing with the silk weavers of Patorson, New York, 'Philadelphia and r Cheney. .

That one room for a family of father, mothcry daughters and 'sons tells what, wages are in Scotland," and how they drag humanity down into beastiality and misery. ..; Brothers! the Mills bill to reduce the tariff 'is the first step 'to that one room for an American family. Fight it with out delay, and fight -it to its-death; .and then make your tariff so protective as to shut out cheap foreign labor in tUe form of manufactured goods. The above is from' the New York Sub, good' democratic authority, but not of the free-trade kind. NEBRASKA NOTES. Mrs; J. M. Roberts has donated a $100 bell to their new school house.

Waaalagtea Letter. From oar regular correspondent. Senator Sherman made a few remarks' in the senate on Friday that started the tongues of all the politicians wagging, -and they are stijl going at a fearful rate. He said that the committee on finance would report a republican tariff bill designed to protect and further American industries as airainst the free trade Mills tariff which was intended to, and did, weaken many industries of the country; that the bill reported would be a careful revision of the tariff laws and of the internal revenue laws; it would give to the men engaged in the arts the use of alcohol untaxed and would sweep away the tobacco tax, giving that great agricultural product fair and free play in this country, but the committee would take its. time about it If the house of representatives wished to pro long the session until the tariff bill was reported it would have to wait until the committee was ready to report After having taken months in preparation and passage of a tariff bill it did not rest with the democrats to charge the repub licans with delay. He asserted that the repuDUcans would not be numed in preparing a bill; that they intended to take all the time they deem necessary for the framing a bill; they did not care how much time it might require: it might aa well be understood that this was the -republican fiat. Mr. Sherman then intimated that the bill 'might not be reported until after the presidential election, in order that the wishes of the people might be known. Should the people vote for free trade by the re election of Cleveland, then it would be well to give them such a dose aa the Mub bfll,- bat ahoald protection be maintained then perhaps the democrats would be willing to accept the republi can bill. As the speech of Mr. Hbarrnsn was the firat official intimation that the republican tariff bill might not be re ported matil after the election, it creat-1 ed a genuine sensitiOB in congress, What effect will it have on the peadiaa campaign was asked right and left by Republicans, and after fully, discussing, the matter the conclusion was generally reaehed,that it would hive no effect at all; the tariff policy of 'the republican party isso well known that no tariff bill in detail is needed to define it What effect this decision will "have on adjourn- meat cannot be said just- now, but that it will hasten that 'event cannot be doubted,.unlees'the democrats by their ioousn acuons snau maxe tne question one of politics. ' . . . The administration is becoming des perate in its-effort to make votes . for Cleveland. The 'latest-isran attempt to bull-doze- the few republican clerks in the departments into using their in fluence for Cleveland. The prac"als"of the. various departments here, have made lists containin-g the names of the "repub lican clerks, and the clerks have been in formed that unless Cleveland is elected they will be discharged. It is hoped by this means to oompel the- republican clerks to use their influence in their re spective states to get votes .for-Cleveland. The nressure on clerks front New. .York, "New. Jersey, Connecticut and In- oiana is parucutariy sireng. Cleveland only found one private pen sion bOTto veto last week. Mr. Lucius B.' Swift, of 'Indianapolis, a member of the executive committee of the lndiana.civil service reform associa. tion,testined before Senator Hale's in vestigating committee last, week to nu merous violations of. the civil service re form law by Postmaster Jones,-of In dianapolis. Jones' is only -folio win? in .the foot-.steps"of Cleveland. - "Like mas ter, like man. Senator Piatt' is after ihe.copper" trust- lie onerea a resolution, wnicn. pass ed the senate, instructing the 'finance committee to inquire into the 'facts -re garding this trust- and to. report wnat legislation was necessary to protect the people from this trust, whioh is compos ed entirely of foreigners, and which con trols the production of every. copper mine in the United States.. ..'"' The bill amending- the interstate com merce law. was -passed by the house' without a division., Cleveland sent for Secretary Whitney to return to this city for the purpose of having him deny the story that had been printed of his intended retirement from the cabinet on occount of his disgust at Cleveland's free trade ideas. After much persuasion Mr. Whitney- agreed to an nounce in 'a public interview that he would remain secretary of the' navy un til the 4th of March. But -he qualified it by saying .that it was much against his inclination that he remained. The Canadian retaliation bill which was railroaded through the house is now in the hands of the senate committee on foreign affairs, and it will hot be at all surprising if it remains the rest -of the session. There is a growing feeling that it is entirely unnecessary. . Gen. Harrison's letter ia spoken of here as one of the best documents of the kind ever written, and that it will gain him many votes cannot be doubted. Other Constrict-. .
