The ocean flyer, Kaiser Wilhelm der
Grosee, with a horse-power of 30,000, has
as much force at her command as the
busy city of Holyoke, Maes., uses, which
ranges generally from 12,000 to 15,000.
Ox some lines, it Beams to The Joub
xax, the best possible argument is the
baldest statement of the facts. The
American market is the best in the
world, when our workmen are steadily
employed at fairly pood wages, but whent
under a free-trade or a "reform" policy,
we are compelled to issue millions npon
millions of interest-bearing bonds to
meet current, ordinary expenses of the
government, and our workmen are de
prived of their proper wages to foster
the industries of other countries, our
home market is poor. But here are
facts that indicate a changed condition
in affairs. "The imports of British
hardware and cutlery into the United
States amounted to nearly $90,000 for
August, 1893, to over 870,000 for Aug
ust, 18, and for August of this year,
they came away down to S15.000."
Election 1'oiatcrs.
Mark Hauna seems on top in Ohio.
The legislature, being republican on
joint ballot, is pretty sure to return him
to the U. S. Senate, an unusual showing
for Ohio just after a presidential election.
Gorman's successor in Maryland will
doubtless be a republican.
Large gains for the republican nomi
nees in Kansas and South Dakota.
While "Wandering Willie" may cavort
around west of the Uig Muddy, when he
crosses that stream he finds the situatiou
very discouraging indeed.
While the triiwrtite blanket ballot is
generally admitted to lie a fraud, igno
rant voters who were told by the State
House gang to vote either under the
house or under the rooster, have done
their voting at this election with much
less assistance than usual. This lteing
the case, of course Judge Sullivan has
carried the state.
1IOW IT LOOKS.
Lincoln, Nov. 0, 1897.
As I write, now four days after elec
tion, the capital city is still rife with
gossip as to just what was the result,
and as to how and why it was so.
Returns are not yet complete from the
ninety counties in the state, but enough
is known to determine that the f union
ists havo lost more than half their ma
jority of one year ago.
If you compute from the head of the
ticket, then Holcomb's lead of nearly
22,000 a year ago is cut down to about
10,000 now. If you compute as between
the presidential electors then and the
regents now, we have the fusion majority
reduced from about 13,000 then to about
5,000 now. To that extent a lack of con
fidence is voted against tho silver doc
trine in Bryan's state and to that ex
tent the fusion state administration is
rebuked.
The rebuke voted againBt Bryan and
against the state administration is em
phasized when it is considered that this
is Bryan's home state, that this is the
first year of the fusion state administra
tion, and that both Bryan and the state
officers at the last made the most fever
ish and energetic campaign ever put up
in this state in an off year.
Never before did a governor beg so
hard for an endorsement. Never lefore
did a presidential candidate rush so
frantically from town to town among the
people of his own state in an off year
with his party in power at. tho state
house. Mr. Bryan seemed to realize
that his cause in Nebraska needed a
stimulant and the state administration
throughout seemed to realize that it
needed defense.
In Omaha, where Mr. Bryan's effort
reached the hysterical stage, seven
speeches in one night, the result was a
heavy loss to the fusion state ticket and
a complete victory for the republican,
county ticket.
Looking back now over Bryan's trail
the vote in the localities where he spoke
shows that his efforts injured rather
than helped his cause.
In 1890 Mr. Bryan was first elected to
congress and nt once commenced his
career as the hero and manipulator of
both the populist and democratic
parties. It is worth the while now to
make note of what has happened to
these two parties in Nebraska since
then. Then, as indicated by the state
election vote on the head of the ticket,
the democrats had 71,000, the populists
70,000 and the republicans 69.000 votes.
Since then Mr. Bryan has had a career
in congress, has had a career as presi
dential candidate and has become the
national leader of both democracy and
populism.
On last Tuesday these 71,000 demo
crats of 1890 and the 70,000 populists
now combined into one party, under the
leadership of Bryan, stood up against
the 09,000 republican party of 1890 and
defeated it by 5,000 or 6,000 votes.
The 69,000 republicans have grown
into 100,000, while the 141,000 democrats
and populists have shrunk into 105,000
or a bare majority over the republicans.
There seems to be a general opinion
here not only among republicans, but
among populists as well, that had it not
been for the defalcations of Bartley and
Moore, republicans would have easily
carried the state in this election. It
means that the fusion ticket was barely
elected because Bartley and Moore de
faulted, and without these defaults this
election would have been a complete
route for Bryan and Bryanism in Ne
braska. It means that the charges
which have been published against this
state administration in the last few
months are accepted by the public as
true, and that the public, while unwil
ling to pass by republican defalcations
without rebuke, was al6o unwilling' to
endorse this present state administra
tion or to cast a vote which would seem
to deay the prosperity which the Mc 1

s pile and issue a book
flP rioomorl" flnw fhf tika
The taxpayers are being compelled to
M whack up a good price for fusion campaign
needs.
iwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Kinley administration has brought to
the people.
It means that with republican de
faulters punished through the instru
mentality of republican courts and the
party purged from the stain which these
defaulters e have put upon it, and that
with a state ticket of clean men selected
by a free and untrammelled republican
state convention, the people of Nebraska
in their next state election will hasten
to express their confidence in the re
publican party, in the McKinley ad
ministration and their final farewell to
Bryanism in finance and to 6ham re
formers in state government.
The truths which have .been uttered
against this state administration remain
and will remain. The recount fraud is
not condoned, the straw bond frauds
are not condoned and the people have
not lessened their contempt for the anti
railroad pass grabbing, junketing popu
list hypocrite. The republican state
committee from its meager resources
bought tickets for its public speakers,
for such men jib Judge Field, while an
army of such blatherskites as Mutz
galloped over the state on free passes,
begging tho deluded farmers to sustain
the anti-railroad pass reform adminis
tration. The people know what is going
on and they will not forget. The bar
gain which the state lioard of transpor
tation made for Sullivan's election will
not be ratified by the people.
In the meantime those who voted for
Judge Post will have the satisfaction of
knowing that he was a conscientious,
fearless judge who never played the
demagogue. He never flirted with a
financial doctrine which he despised and
never consented to become the candi
date of an anti-railroad party at tho re
quest of the corporations.

MISSION OF CANADIANS.
Other Issues Besides Bering
Sea Troubles.
TO 00NFEB WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Sir Wilfred Laurier, Premier or Canada,
Come Prepared to Take Up All the In
ternational Problems That Hate Har
assed the Two (io eminent Preiuiei
Fators Plan Proposed by Maine.
Washington, Nov. 9. The author
ities here have been advised that the
arrival today of Sir Wilfred Laurier,
premier of Canada, Sir Louis Davies,
minister of marine in the Laurier cab
inet, aud other officials of the Dominion
is to have an important bearing not
only on the Bering sea settlement, but
on all the pending questions which
have been sources of international com
plication between tho United States and
Canada, namely the passage of the
alien laborers to and from Canada, the
North Atlantic fisheries question, the
presence of many Americans in the
Klondike territory belonging to Canada
and in the mining regions of British
Columbia, the fisheries trouble along
the great lakes, the bonding privilege
granted Canadian railroads, the contro
versy over rights in the Fraser river
and in the Puget sound and tha ques
tion of a reciprocity arrangement be'
tweeu the United States and Canada.
Will Confer With McKinley.
There is direct and definite informa
tion that Sir Wilfred comes prepared to
take up all these questions aud if possi
ble iuclude them in one general settle
ment, when the general friction they
have caused will be over. Oil some of
these subjects he will confer with
President McKinlev, and ou at least
one of them, tliat relating to alien lab
orers crossing the border, he will sug
gest huch mutual modification of pres
ent restrictions as in hit opinion will
be of material advantage to the thous
ands of Americans now in the Klondike
and British Columbia mining district
and at the same time will lie of advan
tage to Canada along the eastern
border. The principal features of Sir
Wilfred's mission were communicated
to the proper officers and are given out
by persons advised of the premier's
plans, and it can be said that the sug
gestion that the decks be cleared of ex
isting disputes between Canada and the
United States met with the favor of
the administration.
While the Bering sea settlement oc
casioned the visit of the Canadian pre
mier, the Canadian authorities attach
much less importance to it than they do
the other questions mentioned. They
say Canadian sealing is confined almost
entirely to the far west territory where
the sealers fit out and that even there
considerable percentage of the so-called
Canadian sealers sail from Seattle, San
Francisco and other ports, which fit out
in Canada under the British flag. What
basis of settlement can be reached is
not stated, but confidence is entertained
by the Canadians that an amicable ad
justment can be made. Among the
plans suggested is that of an indemnity
large enough to permit Canada to buy
out the sealers and retire them from
business. With this done the United
States, Russia, Japan, Great Britain
aud Canada would be together in a sup
pression of pelagic sealing.
Border Immigration Question.
Sir Wilfred Laurier and his asso
ciates will urge strongly that the border
immigration question be settled.
Under the premier's direction the Can
adian parliament passed an alien immi
gration law last spring, by which
American contractors and American
labor was barred from competing in the
work on the Crow's Nest Pass railway,
a government undertaking in western
Canada. On the other hand it is
claimed by the Canadians that about
5.000 Americans are in the Klondike
territory belonging to Canada, and that
fully 10,000 American contract laborers
are working in the mines of British
Columbia. The United States immi
gration laws, it is asserted, are admin
istered with harshness along the Cana
dian border and are a daily source of
irritation. Sir Wilfred, therefore, will
suggest that the causes of irritation be
removed on both sides and it is under
stood that he is prepared to offer a re
peal of Canadian restrictions in the
Klondike and other regions if the
American alien law is made less string
ent. In this connection also the co-operation
of the United States is desired in
plans of the Canadian authorities tc
make an easy route to the Klondike
The proposed route is by boat from J
called "Nebraska Re-
nf tVlft fii si nn TiArtv.
Fort Wrangle to the Stickeen rivet
which is in territory belonging to the
United States, and up the Stickeen
river via Taskan lake to the Yukon
river and thence to the gold fields.
Reciprocity Negotiation.
On the matter of reciprocity the gen
eral purpose of the negotiation will be
to give the United States the benefit of
the minimum clause of the present Can
adian law, in consideration for the 20
percent reduction allowed under the
Dingley law. The desire of Sir Wil
fred and his associates will be to con
fine the arrangement to a few important
articles, allowing time to develop its
usefulness and extend its scope.
On the part of Canada the articles
likely to be proposed for reciprocity are
fish, coal, lumber and barley. On the
part of the United States the articles
likely to figure are coal, oil, corn, rail
way aud electrical nupplies, machinery
of all kinds, agricultural implements,
native woods, watches, clocks, cotton
and certain forms of iron and steel.
Canadian law permits a one-eighth
reduction of duties this year, and one
fourth reduction next to such countries
as give advantages to Canada. At
present British goods get this reduction,
while American goods do not.
It has been made known to the offi
cials here that the Canadian premier
comes to Washington desirous of
adopting a plan once propos
ed by Mr. Blaine, viz: That
of lumping the controversies into, one
general settlement, the details to be
settled by a commission representing
bothcountries. Sir Wilfred is the more
anxious to do this as his administration
inherited the controversies from pre
ceding ministeries. He has long been
the 'advocate of the most conciliatory
and friendly relations with the United
States and now that he has come into
power will seek to give this sentiment a
practical effect.
Outlook Is For Pear.
Washington, Nov. 9. As further
evidence of the peaceful condition of
the relations of the United States and
Spain, uavy department officials point
to the program adopted by Rear Ad
miral Sicard for the next month. Re
pairs to the ships will occupy some
weeks, but as each is put in condition
for service, Rear Admiral Sicard pro
poses to send it to sea for individual
drill. It is expected that the squadron
will remain in New York until about
the middle of December, when it will
proceed to Hamptou Roads, which will
be the base of the squadron's winter
evolutions.
Woleott Reports to President.
Washington, Nov. 9. Senator Wol
eott of Colorado, one of the commis
sioners who lias been in Europe in the
interests of the bimetallist, arrived in
this city last night. He went to his
home, where he remained about half
an hour and then went to the White
house in. response to a summons from
President McKinley. Senator Woleott,
it is understood, made a formal report
of the results of the commission's visit
in Europe. The senator declined to
talk for publication.
Fort Carter Abandoned.
Washington, Nov. 9. The war de
partment acting on the recommenda
tion of General Wade, commanding the
department of Dakota, has ordered the
abandonment of Fort Custer, Mont.
General Wade also recommended the
abandonment of Fort Assinaboine,
Mont., and it is understood the depart
ment thinks it impracticable at this
time of the year. One of the reasons
for abandoning Caster is that its sani
tary condition is bad aud the water sup
ply not what it should be.
Appointments 1y the President.
Wamhsjgtqn, Nov. 9. The president
today made the following appointments :
Edwin M. Yearing, agtmt for the In
dians at Lehigh, Ida. ; Edward W. Bart
letr, register of land office at LaGrande,
Or. To bo receivers of public moneys,

THEODORE DURRANT WILL HANG.
United States Supreme Court Refuses to
Interfere In the Case.
Washington, Nov. 9. The United
States supreme court affirmed the de
cision of the circuit court of California,
refusing a writ of habeas corpus to
Theodore Durrant, under seMeuce of
death for the murder of Blanche La
mont, in San Francisco, in April, 1895.
The case has attracted attention
throughout the whole of tliQ United
States, and today's decision permits the
law to take its course with the con
demned man.
San Francisco, Nov. 9. The news
that the United States supreme court
had decided not to interfere with the
execution of Durrant spread quickly
over the city today and crowds of in
terested people read the announcement
eagerly from the newspaper bulletin
boards. The decision of the sopreme
court; was not unexpected here, and ap
parently only Durrant and his attorneys
seemed to have any hope that the mur
derer would be saved from the gallows.
The decision of the supreme oonrt
paves the way for the execution of five
other murderers who have been sen
tenced to death, but whose execution
has been deferred pending the decision
of the Durrant case. Among these are
Train Wrecker Worden, Harvey Al
lender of San Jose and Ebanks of San
Diego, who butchered an aged couple.
Populists Win With' Die,
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9. When the
official canvass of the local election was
made in Bourbon county yesterday, it
was found that four of the seven candi
dates on the Populist and Republican
tickets were tied. Instead of deciding
who was the victor by the drawing of
straws, as is the usual custom, a dice
box was secured from a neighboring
joint, and luck gave the offices to all
four populist candidates. Republicans
believe the dice were loaded, but Rail
road Commissioner Dillard, who acted
as referee, says it was a ''square deal."
' Donble Murder In Missouri.
Belton, Nov. 9. At noon yesterday,
nine miles east of here, Arthur Wright
killed John Hess and shot the latter'e
father, William S. Hess, at their home.
All those involved are farmers, but no
reason is given for the shooting. The
murderer passed here this afternoon and
is making his way south.

HAVE EQUITY IS JOBS.
Unexpected Civil Service De
cision by Judge Jackson.
GA1H0T DISMISS WITHOUT TBIAL.
Courts of Equity Hare tha Jurisdiction to
Restrain the Appointing Power From
ReuoTinr Oflleers From Positions If
Such Removals Aro Shown to Bo la
Violation or Civil Service Law.
Chicago, Nov. 9. A special to the
Times-Herald from Marti nsburg, W.
Va., says: Judge John J. Jackson
handed down a decision today which
holds that transfer cannot with trial be
made under the civil service law be
cause it is equivalent to removal.
Judge Jackson insists that the ap
pointment of a man to a federal position
under the civil service law gives him a
right in equity to the place which he is
not forced to surrender, save for cause.
Judge Jackson remarks in his decision
that the leaving of discretionary powers
in the hands of heads of departments
makes the civil service a dead letter.
He remarks that there is no doubt the
civil service law is entirely constitu
tional His second finding is that con
gress has never delegated to the presi
dent and commission legislative power.
His third point declares that the in
ternal revenue service has been placed
under the merit code and he also holds
that any attempt to change the position
and rank of officer in civil service depart
ments is a violation of the law.
His final holding is that a court of
equity has a right to sit in such case
and has the jurisdiction to restrain the
appointing power from removing' the
officers from their positions if such re
movals are shown to be in violation of
the civil service act. He therefore
ordered that the men who had been
shifted from a good salaried place to a
smaller salaried place should be rein
stated. The government authorities here de
clare the ruling of Judge Jackson will
cause great confusion, as its findings
are far from what had been expected.
He practically has held that the fact
that a man gets a civil service place
under the government gives him a
right in equity to the salary and emolu
ments of the office, which is above the
caprice of the head of the department.
According to Judge Jackson it is illegal
to shift a man iu office unless the salary
and emoluments shall be the same.
The change of assignment he says, is
equivalent in fact to a dismissal, which
cannot happen save under charges and
a fair trial.
This case here, which resulted in this
opinion, was brought to reinstate a
United States storekeeper or gauger in
the revenue service. When the changes
in West Virginia were agreed upon for
October, a day storekeeper at the Hannis
distillery of this place was transferred
to a position of additional storekeeper.
The storekeeper who for three months
had been on duty as additional store
keeper, was laid off and a reinstated
storekeeper was assigned as day store
keeper. The withdrawn gauger was
also layed off and a reinstated ganger
assigned to duty.
By injunctions the collector and all
others were enjoined from interfering
with the officers who had been on duty.
The case was argued before Judge Jack
son Oct. 18.

FORAKER MAY TAKE A HAND.
Promises
to Make Thinrs Lively la the
Senatorial Fight,
Cincinnati, Nov. 9. It was reported
in local political circles that Hon. Chas.
L, Kurtz had quietly slipped into the
city during the afternoon and was in
close conference with Senator Foraker
on the absorbing senatorial question.
The report had it that the senator and
Kurtz had carefully surveyed the situa
tion and had reached an understanding
unfavorable to-Mr. Hannw. Senator
Foraker, when asked about the alleged
meeting with Kurtz, said he had not
seen Mr. Kurtz for over a week. The
broaching of the subject gave the sena
tor an opportunity to vent his feeling!
about the senatorship. He said : "I am
becoming tired of having my name
dragged into every little controversy
over the senatorial question. I worked
faithfully in the last campaign and if
-the majorities were not larger, it .was
no fault of mine. I do not expect to
take part in the affair, but unless my
name is kept out of the whole thing, I
shall go into it and make certain peo
ple know I am around. The Republican
party will settle this matter to their
satisfaction and without the dictation
of outside parties."

His
Report to OoTarmor Kvaaa.
Desyeb, Not. 9. Game Commis
sioner Swan has submitted to the gov
ernor his report on the encounter be
tween Game Warden Wilcox and posse
and a camp of Uintah Indians in Boatt
county Oct. 24 last. While Mr. Swan
deplores tho taking of human life, he
believes that it was necessitated by the
exigencies of the situation. He states
that in his opinion Game Warden Wil
cox's version of the fight was correct
and that the killing of the Indians wan
unavoidable and necessary. However,
he recommends that in justice to all
concerned there should be the fullest
possible investigation by a committee
appointed for that purpose. He also
suggests that the commission might
suggest or provide ways and means to
prevent a recurrence of such troubles.
lATtJjr If muMBt De41ot4.
Amos, Ills., Nov. 9. The Love joy
monument in this city was formally
dedicated yesterday. It was 60 years
ago Nov. 8 that Lovejoy was assassi
nated in this citj because of hie out
spoken and fiery editorials against the
slave trade. Lovejoy's remains would
have been lost had $tnc bees for
Thomas Dimmock of St. Louis, who
had the grave located by an old sexton,
the only person who knew where his
coffin was buried. The coffin was
placed is a vault until a suitable lot
could be secured and here a modest
scroll bow marks his resting place.
Two hundred yards to the south is a
90-foot shaft erected to his memory by
citizens of Alton and people of Illinois
at a cost of $30,000.
Batterworth Slightly Better.
Cleveland, Nov. 9. Commissioner
of Patents Benjamin F. Bntterworth,
who is lying ill of pneumonia at the
Holkmden hotel, is reported as slightly
better this morning. Dr. J. Kent Saun

stantly at the bedside of the sick man,
states that Mr. Bntterworth rested
quietly throughout the night, and his
condition is now such as to cause strong
hopes of ultimate recovery.
Nebraska Election Romance.

Dreath In Central M Issoarl Broken.
Sedaua, Nov. 9. The long continued
drouth in Pettis and adjoining counties,
which has prevailed since July 15, was
broken last night by a heavy rain. Dur
ing the long, dry spell only two or three
showers, that were practically value
less, fell in central Missouri, and the
heavy rain of today will partly fill the
thousands of sun baked stock ponds in
this state, and be of untold value to the
farmers.

The eastern roads out of Chicago are
much disappointed over the amount of
basiness they are securing. It has
been decreasing for some time and if it
were not for the amount of westbound
business the roads would find them
selves in a bad position.
Judge Beach in the New York su
preme court denied the motion to dis
miss the suit brought by Mrs. Angell to
establish her right of dower in the
estate of the late Jay Gould. The suit
was ordered placed on the preferred

To Chicago sad the East.
Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago as the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in the
eastern states always desire to "take in"
Chicago en route. All classes of passen
gers will find that the "Short Line" of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way, via Omaha and Council Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.
A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri river for a ticket over tho
Chicago, Council Bluffs & Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway, you will be cheerfully
furnished with the proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in
Chicago in ample time to conuoot with
the express trains of all the great t hrough
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
For additional particulars, time tables,
maps, etc., please call on or address F.
