The populists have forced George H. Thomas to retire from the race for con gress, says the Telegram. Where are the high wages promibed by the democrats and populists as the result of tariff reform legislation? Scarcely anything has turned out as promised by the democracy. If the situation'of j affairs now com pared with what they were under re publican administration does not lead voters to consider w hat they ought to do, there is nothing that will. Ex-GovEKNOir CrjRTix of Pennsylva nia died Sunday morning at Bellefont aine, Penn. He was 77 years old. He was noted as the war governor of his state, serving during the entire war. The American people have always leen opposed to irresponsible power, especially when it has been exercised in the interest of an individual or a party and against public policy. Vote for republicans. Youn vote for Recher, Murphy and Penney may help to elect them to the state legislature, where they will cast their ballot for a United States senator favorable to republican national legisla tion as against the toadying to British interests. The Telegram iu shame admits that while Rosewater could not control the republican convention, ho had a good deal to do with tho action of the demo cratic convention. This is, eminently, a year for the emphasis of republican principles. Dietrich Becht.k, one of the Platte county delegates to the democratic con vention a year ago, and who helped to howl down Bryan and free silver, is get ting excited over his campaign work. Mr. Becher is one of tho very few demo crats who approved of Governor Boyd's veto of the Newberry freight rate bill. Argus. About three years ago Judge Holcomb became a populist, and in that time he has been a candidate for district judge, supreme judge and governor. Securing election to the first office for which he ran seemed to turn his head, and he ap pears to think that he is just the right man to fill every office in tho country. Seward Reporter. A reduction in the number of stu dents in the freshman class at Princeton college this year is attributed to the reputation for hazing, ruehing and silly horse-play that the college had acquired. If every boy, before attending such colleges, would mako himself an athlete and trained boxer, and give tho college bailies a big dose of their own "fun," there might soon be less of it. It looks a little now as though the Bryan men would be let out, if the pop ulists should bo able to capturo the state legislature. In that case Hol comb could take the U. S. senatorial plum, and Gaffin (if the alliance shall prove a success on the state ticket), be come governor. There would be noth ing at all remarkable about tins ending of so singular political alliance. According to the late democratic state convention Billy Bryan and Sile Holcomb are about the only democrats in Nebraska who have a right to aspire to high official position. Holcomb's democracy is as sound as Bryan's, the former, however, wears a populist mark as a vote getter while the latter wears a democratic mark for endorsement and senatorial aspiration purposes only. Cedar Rapids Republican. Politics is nn individual question more decidedly so this year than usual. How did the "change" from a republican to a democratic, Cleveland administra tion affect "you? Do you wish to con tinue such a "change" and intensify its meaning? If you do, vote for demo cratic candidates for congress, and for democratic candidates for the state leg islature who will vote for a democratic politician to represent Nebraska in the United States senate. If you don't .relish the "change" vote for republicans. The Siamese-twin combination that Bryan is trying to work between tho populists and demo-populists (in the in terest of himself), seems to bo unsuc cessful in many places through the state, and voters, after giving the tariff question a little thought and the dem ocratic administration a general over hauling, don't want Bryan so much as they did a few months ago. It has oc curred to' many of 'them that Billy is thinking more of himself than he is of the "poor working men," and they will fix matters by voting for republican sen ators and representatives, which will assure c republicanj'senator from Ne braska. The moral here is vote for Gus G. Becher, Murphy and Penney for our state law-makers, and for Meikel john for congress. A witness in court at Dubuque a few days ago injected somo politics into the answers of a cross questioner and ex pressed the feelings of a good many democrats throughout the country. The name of the witness was Ward and this is the Dubuque Times' acconnt of the incident: "Mr. Ward, did I understand you to say that land is not worth as much now as it was two years ago?" "Yes, sir; that's what I said." "Will yon please tell tho court why it is not worth as much now as two years ago:" "Well, since Cleveland was elected the price of land and even thing else has gone to the devil." This answer brought down the house, and democrats and republicans alike in tho court grew red in the face trying to keep from laughing outright. "Are you a republican, Mr. Ward?" "No, sir; but if things keep on the way they are now, I don't think it will be long before I will be one." Never have the republicans gone into an election campaign with so much con fidence, as this year. Even the alliance of the democrats and independents has not the effect to frighten them. Not only is this so right here at home but all over the country it is the same. Re publicanism and the protection of American interest and tho workingmen is in the air, and it is making the op position realize that they have some thing more than the republican party to fight. The state or affairs the past year has opened tho yes of tho thinking voter as they were never opened before, and he realizes that this year the elec tion means more than simply the defeat of one party by another. It means either prosperity or tho death of Ameri can industries. David City News. Men of Bryan's stamp are not in the habit of bowing down before such a man as Holcomb, and when Mr. Bryan comes to understand that every move of Mr. Holcomb on the political chess board is or tho purpose of having himself elected to the United States senate, and that all promises and agreements that Mr. Bryan shall have the support of pop ulist members of the legislature are black political lies, the young congress man will turn upon the bunco game like a lion. Holcomb is a sleek politician. but he will be scattered to the four winds by tho explosion of his own petard. Omaha Tribune Democrat. The Schuyler Quill says that Miles Zentmyer, the democratic candidate for state senator to represent this district, was helped to tho position by the ad ministration wing of the party, and that besides the "honorable" office, ho is also to have the remunerative one of the Schuyler post-office, after he doesn't, as senator, vote for William J. Bryan for United States senator. In other words the Qnill very seriously questions Zent myer's fealty to Bryan, and says that his "managers" are all anti-Bryan men, and that, in short, his nomination is a Morton-Castor-North deal. Federal in terference in local elections is a very serious matter. Tiie facts in regard to the banquet to the author of tho Wilson tariff bill be fore tho Loudon Chamber of Commerce, and the enthusiastic reception of his speech by British manufacturers and merchants, will probably be tho cause of his defeat before his constituents for re-election. When an American's views on economic and business matters, as national policies, are very heartily ap proved by British interests, it is pretty safe to say that they are un-American, enough so at least to put voters on their guard, and lead them to ask Why? and answer it fnlly before casting their vote. The scurvy political editor pretends to one candidate that he is for him first, last and all tho time that he can easily be elected and then goes to the other and says he is only making pretense to the first because his candidacy is neces sary to tho latter's success, and that is why he is "working" No. 1. Ho tries to get boodle from both. What a despica ble character. The above paragraph is from the Co lumbus Telegram and describes a fea ture of so-called journalism that is all too true with reference to men who have no political principles outside tho dol lars they secure from candidates, etc. "All hope having (led of forcing the blatherskite congressional candidate Devine from tho congressional race by the pops, Mr. Georgo H. Thomas, tho democratic candidate, has written a let ter declining the honor." "The demo crats have been fooled too much in this matter already, and we do not believe they will stand it to be bunkoed any further by the men with bristles who want the earth and will give nothing in return. Put a name on the ticket." So says the Telegram, with evident in tensity of feeling. We clip from tho Norfolk News the following paragraph, which if true, shows "a state of affairs:" "It is asserted that before the late Popcrat convention agreed to indorse Holcomb, he promised, in the event of his election, to submit all his official appointments to a "board" consisting of E. Rosewater and a dozen democrats. One of tho "board" resides in Madison county, and, it is stated, has already promised the position of superintendent of the Norfolk hospital for the insane to a well Known physician or .Madison. No populists need apply!" George H. Thomas, the democratic nominee for congressman from this dis trict, is out in a letter withdrawing from the campaign. This will simplify mat ters somewhat provided somebody is not named to take his place. Concern ing this, the Norfolk News says: "The central committee was instruct ed, at the time the nomination was made, to place a straight democrat on the ticket in the event of Thomas de clining to run. Will the committee obey the instructions of the convention?" BRYAN TICKET STANDS. Secretary Allen Sustains Former Decision. His WM. L. WILSON WELCOMED HOME. WVtt Tirclnla Congressman Opens the Campaign In His Native Home AIabs ma Populists Have Combined With Re publicans to Defeat Democratic Con gressmen Political News. Lincoln, Oct. 9. Secretary of State Allen Monday heard the protests of ex State Chairman Martin of the Demo cratic party against his decision declar ing the convention which nominated Holcomb for governor the legal body. Many prominent Democrats were pres ent. Hon. John L. Ames opened with the reading of a supplemental protest, in which he urged the objections to the ac tion of the secretary of state, as follows: That if the certificate as filed by State Chairman Sruythe was to be accepted the real Democrats would be disfran chised and the former would have their names on the ticket twice. Then fol lowed an interpretation of the alleged doctrine of the old line Democrats and the points in which the Populists disa gree therewith. He claimed that the election law did not contemplate the duplication of names on the ticket and read from the decision the courts of various other states alleged parallel cases, and asked of the secretary a reversal of his former decision. The cases cited were from t-8 Michigan, page 164, and IS Colorado, page 6. A. J. Sawyer followed with the read ing of several other decisions on the same line. Judge Strode, for the Bryan ticket, re plied, claiming that the cases cited were not parallel ones, and W. H. Thompson supported him in a brief argument. BjTLe secretary of state sustained his former decision. The administration men will now resort to the courts. WM L. WILSON WELCOMED HOME. West Virginia Congressman Opens the Campaign In His Native Home. Charleston, W. V., Oct. 9. Hon. W. L. Wilson arrived hero at 2 p. m. Monday from the east. He was met at Harper's Ferry by a special train crowded with enthusiastic Second district Demo crats, who escorted hini to his native town. A great mass meeting was con vened at the courthouse immediately after the arrival of the special bearing Mr. Wilson, Mr. McGraw calling the meeting to order and introducing Mr. Wilson. He began his address with a touching reference to the popular demonstration which had greeted him upon his return and thanked his fellow citizens and his friends and neighbors for the unanimity with which they bad taken part in his welcome. Referring to political matters, Mr. Wilson said he should not be able to take up in any ordinary aud satisfac tory manner the discussion of the public issues of the day, because they had been rushed from shipboard to train and from the train to the platform with scarcely any chance for thought. 'We have reached," said he, "that stage iu the development of our country when we are compelled to have larger markets for our surplus products, and such markets, through foreign trade, are the only safety valves for the health and the prosperity of the American la borer in the field and In the factory." He referred to the struggle for federal taxation as a wonderful and inspiring popular resolution and pledged the De mocracy as tho party of the people to go on in the combat. After the English Market. 'While I was in London about two weeks ago, I was honored, very unex pectedly to myself with an invitation by the chamber of commerce to be their guest at a public dinner. I was sur prised to receive such an invitation, be cause I was seeking rest and knew then as well as I know today that what I would Bay on the occasion would be preverted and falsified before the Ameri can people and I did not think I need be afraid to talk to the people of London, as I talked to the people of West Vir ginia. So 1 talked to them just what I say to you today, that in the past we had been building up our tariffs to keep them out of the American markets and now we are tearing them down to let us out into theirs and all the other markets of the world. And I said to them that not only in the great product of agriculture, not only in our wheat, corn, cotton, beef and other meat products but in the pro ducts of our manufacturers, they might henceforth find us competing with them in all the markets they sought," PLANS OF ALABAMA POPULISTS. They Have Combined With Republicans to Defeat Democratic Congressmen. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 9. The Democratic state ticket of Alabama elected last August will be duly inaug urated Dec. 1. The ticket is headed by William C. Oates, governor. The Popu list ticket was headed by Ruben F. Kalb for governor. This ticket was defeated by a majority of over 27,000 votej. For a time the Populists, with whom the Republicans had joined forces, claimed the election of their ticket, but finally conceded the Democrats a victory so far as the state ticket was concerned. The Populists made their hardest fight for the legislature, which meets here Nov. 13. By their hard fighting they suc ceeded in electing about 42 members out of 100 in the lower house and 10 out of 3s in the senate. The chairman of the etate executive committee of the Populists has issued a zal for a joint state convention of that party and the Republican party to meet in this city Nov. 12, the day before the assembling of the general assembly of the state. The object of the convention is ostensibly to consider what action shall be taken in regard to the alleged fraud charged in the August election and for other purposes which are not set out in the call. It is reckoned, however, that, in view of the fact that the convention has been called to meet the day before the legislature, the Populists will at tempt to set up an opposition legislature and go through the form of declaring Kolb governor and elect a United States senator to succeed Senator Morgan. It is believed by the Populists that a con test over Morgan's seat will result in th seating of the Populist contestant should the Republicans control the next con fress. The congressional campaign in Ala bama which has just opened seems likely to be the liveliest contest held in tht state since the '70s. The Populists and Republican have gotten together and will make a bard fight in most of the districts. Ex-Secretary Whitney's Letter. New York, Oct. 9. The state Dem ocratic committee is sending out a lettei written by ex-Secretary Whitney, dated at Roslyn, L. I. The letter is addressed to Mr. Hinckley, the state chairman. Mr. Whitney explains why he did not accept either the chairmanship or a mem bership of the state committee, stating it was not from an indisposition to assist il the campaign, but from reasons purely private. Criticises Cardinal Gibbons' Speech. Chicago, Oct. 9. Dr. Julia Holmes ISith, Democratic nominee for trustee of the Illinois State university, in an in terview on Cardinal Gibbons' attack on woman suffrage, said: "In support oi his idea, the cardinal recites the words oi a Grecian ruler, 'I command Athenss Athens rules the world, and my wife rules me; therefore, she rules the world.' Perhaps had the cardinal investigated nil Grecian history more carefully he would have discovered that it was not the wife that ruled or governed. The man whom Aspasia governed had a wife and family at home. Thus it has been and Cardinal Gibbons would do well to study the his tory of Aspasia." Chinese Registration Decision. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 9,-nJudgt Ross rendered an important decision in the case of Lee Young, a registered Chinaman, who went over the Mexican line for a few days and on his return was arrested and taken before the com missioner, who ordered him to be de ported. Judge Ross holds that simply because a registered Chinaman hap pened to cross over into another country on business or pleasure he is not subject to arrest and deportation under the law. Giants Win the Temple Cap. New York, Oct. 9. The Temple cup has been won by the giants. Four well contested games have been played for its possession. It is said the receipts for the four games amount to about 25,000. Oi this the giants will get $16,000.

Crisis Fast Approaching In China-Japan War. the JAPS ARE CLOSING IN ON PEKING. John Redmond Say the Home Rule Cans la Dying From Apathy Balfour Escapes From Custody An International Agree ment to Send Warship to China War Spirit Is Spreading. Washtngton, Oct. 9. The crisis of the China-Japan war is looked for within the next 10 days or two weeks by those most interested and best informed on the contest. The legations of the two coun tries are expecting daily to hear that the decisive battle has been fought. This is based on the fact that the Japanese have been gradually closing in around Peking and the invading army is compelled by force of circumstances to strike their blow at once, or not at all. The intense cold which comes on about the middle of October makes this imperative. The Japanese climate is very mild even in winter and the Japanese troops are wholly unprepared for the rigorous climate about Peking, which is due with in two weeks. The Chinese look upon this as one of their defenses and the Jap anese fully appreciate that it compels them to concentrate their campaign for this year into the next few weeks, and, if possible, day3. For that reason they are expected to make heroic efforts to decide the contest at once. They are without the heavy clothing, camp equip ment, etc., for a campaign in tho bitter cold.

THEIR BONOS HAVE DISAPPEARED. Chicago and Northern Pacific Treasury bhort Sl.OOO.OT.O In Securities. New York, Oct. 9. A paper here says the committee on reorganization of the Chicago and Northern Pacific rail way has discovered that f2,f00,000 of the company's bonds of the value of f t,000, 000 have disappeared from the treasury of the company. The company has dis covered also that some of the securities of tho company have been put up as ex tra margin in loans made by the North ern Pacific company. Members of the committee would not say whether the bonds had been mislaid or lost or what had become of them. Chicago, Oct. . Mr. Newell for the receivers of the Northern Pacific, said the receivers had liabilities aggregating 18,000,000 to meet within the next few months, and the assets available do not exceed $4,000,000. At least l,i40,000 is due now and must be paid. The honor of the court, which is in control of the road, must be maintained by meeting the liabilities as they fall due. The attorney said that while the at torneys had petitioned for 9,000,000 they could possibly get along with less, mey muac nave atjieastf .,8U,uw to meet ea States free of duty without subject presMng 4ebts and carrj on the business I ing the owners lo foeTtagenae ot expect - ,-... .1 of tha road. He said the receivers would be willing to have the order for the certificates drawn in such a way as to meet the objections of the bondhold ers. Mr. Petit followed with an argu ment in opposition to the certificates. In referring to the certificates to be put up by the receivers, he said the Northern Pacific securities were like Northern Pacific memories, considerably below par. . - ' SENATORS SPEAK." BUSINESS PROSPECTS AS SEEN BY REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS. Obstacles to Be Faced by tho America Producer and Manufacturer No Indul gence In Luxuries For the Laborer. American Good Must Ik Displaced. There can be no reasonable doubt what tho effect of tho new tariff law will bo upon both tho prodnotion and the purchasing power of tho American people. Whilo there may be a tempo rary revival of business aud an apparent increaso of production, tho level will soon bo reached, mid then the evil ef fects of the legislation will become ap parent Tho American producer is to face tho problem of freo wool and free lumber and a tremendous cut on agri cultural products and manufactured goods of almost overy description. It will not tako long for tho American sheep raiser to discover that he cannot compete with tho climatic advantages and cheap labor of Australia and South America, and wool growing in the United States will practically cease. Tho men engaged in tho lumber busi ness will transfer their capital to Cana da, and that country will get the bene fit of freo lumber. Our farmers and manufacturers will bo compelled to en gage in sharper competition than over before with the Dominion of Canada and tho countries of Europe and Asia. Reduced duties on foreign goods will inevitably leault in increased importa tions mid a lessening of the product of American mills and American work shops. As a, consequence wages will be reducod iu the endeavor to compete with foreign cheap labor, and tho purchasing capacity of our people will be corre spondingly curtailed. Tho workingmau who has been re ceiving $2 per day and indulging in some of tho luxuries of lifo will on $1.50 per day bo able to only buy tho com monest necessaries for his family, and thus merchant and manufacturer both will feel the effects of reduced wages in the inability of tho masses to purchase as heretofore. It seems to mo that this will be the inevitable result, and that all classes of our people, whether connected with pro tected or nonprotected industries, will bo made to suffer through the enact ment of this act of "perfidy" and "dis honor. ' ' It cannot result otherwise than detrimentally to American interests, and in due time the Wilson-Gorman bill will be overthrown by the aroused indignation and awakened conscience of the American people. Faithfully yours, J. H. Gaixinoer, United States Senator From New Hamp shire. Tho theory of thu tariff reformers and of tho freo traders, whoso views are but partially carried out in the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill, is that American production must bo decreased. The bar on robbers and manufacturers who have been putting their hands in the pockets of the peoplo must bo stricken down, which means that tho production of American manufactures must be de creased by the admission through lower duties of foreign goods. Tho many millions of dollars' worth of such goods in tho custom houso aro awaiting such lower rates. It may be, under the ruling of Secretary Carlisle in the construction of this bill, that such goods will have to be re-exported and reiniported in order to secure the lower rate, but to whatever extent these lower duties permit of larger im portations to the same extent will Amer ican production be displaced. Two bod ies cannot occupy tho same spaco at tho same time. Every foreign product will displaco an equivalent American prod uct, and tho foreign wago earner will to that extent displace tho American wago earner. To tho samo extent will the purchasing power of the American peoplo bo decreased; to that extent will our general wolfaro and our power of purchasing be decreased. It remains to bo seen how mucli our foreign markets will bo enlarged by this bill. Tho theory of tho free trader that wo can bo admitted to the foreign market by lower duties can only be realized by an absolutely English free trade policy, aud not by tho half and half bill which has been enacted. More over, tho theory is a delusion. Anthony Higuins, United States Senator From Delaware. Ilusiness Under Democracy. Tho loss of trade in the United States during July, as reflected by bank clear ings, was $647,648,718 as compared with July, 189a. But comparing it with two years ago tho loss of trade in July exceeded $1,000,000,000.

The attitude of our secretary of the treasury, Mr. Carlisle, in desiring to ac commodate the foreign manufacturers and the importers of foreign goods is quite in keeping with the free trade pol' icy of his party. Were it otherwise we should be surprised at reading the fol lowing extract from a recent Washing ton dispatch: ' 'Secretary Carlisle i3 especially anx ious to find some law of construction by which he can admit goods which under the present law aro dutiable and are now in bond, but which become free ha nnrlpr thft haw tariff law. intn thft TTnfi- . - . . . , -- w v -V r " -" ... 17.

" It is very evident that the Gorman tariff bill did not authorize what Secre tary Carlisle has since permitted. Had the new law been explicit in so doing there would have been no occasion for the secretary of the treasury to be "es pecially anxious" to oblige his foreign friends. An honest man wonld not have sought a quibble or a subtvfuge to evado the law. A true Amarioan'would have executed the law as he found it and would have been glad of the oppor tunity that served to benefit Americans by prolonging the chanco for the em ployment of American labor in the manufacture of American goods. The public prominence that has so re peatedly been given to this Deniocratio official's inordinate desire to save a few dollars for foreign manufacturers, while at tho same time wresting a few dol lars from the unfortunate American wage earners, is inferential proof that the exaot reading of the law has not been put into execution. It was un doubtedly tho original intention of the free traders to grant to foreign manu facturers the special privilege that the treasury official has gone out of his way to yield. But through ono of its many "inconsistencies and crudities" the orig inal intention of the bill was defeat ed, and a meddlesome official has trans acted a very dirty piece of business. His action should bo tested in a court of law. ABBREVIATED TELEGRAPH NEWS, forger, George Klinger, the Pittsburg wa arrested at Rochester.
