CHANGE IN ADDRESS-When ordering a change in the address, subscribers hhould be sure to give their old as well as their new address. Don't rub it in. Where is that colonel who raid Teddy never saw a Spaniard? Ora Shannon is at least as calm in defeat as he was ever EoLer in victory. Have yon met anybody since elec tion who does not claim that ho help ed to do it? Mr. Dooley's remarks upon the pres idential election will be awaited with mnch interest. The republican party of Platte county extends thanks to the Telegram and the Biene, Of course, I can't difputetho "sane" part, bnt did I hear anybody ray any thing about "safe"? W. J. B. Brutal majorities are a thing of the past in Platte county. And who dares say it will not be a good thing? It is reported that Russia will light it oat, and wants no mediation from the other powers. How are tho mighty fallen! Platte county, Tammany and TexaB and the greatest of theso is not far from Platte county. Telegram, on election of 1!K):$. It would be no mare than right that Mr. Pulitzer should be the first man to be drafted intu tho army and order ed to set fire to his own punt Fhop. He wouldn't be surprised. One man in the United States has been discovered who ran ahead of Roosevelt. Hngh Hughes, state senator-elect for Platte and Colfax coun ties, carried Platte county by nearly 200 votes more than Roosevelt did. Poor old constitution! Jefferson stretched it until it cracked, Monroo plastered it all over South America, Jackson kicked a couplo of spokes out of it, Lincoln painted it black, and Teddy O, ye gods! Poor old consti tution ! Platte county republicans should not get swelled np over .their victory. Their success this year is due to clean policies and safe candidates. Their success will be permanent in proporteon as republican officials perform their official duties with honesty and fairness. Mr. Watson of Georgia rises to re mark that the populist party is ready to go it alone again. They want no more alliances with the party of Mr. Cleveland. It certainly is beautiful to behold the ecstatic joy with which Mr. Bryan, Mr. Watson ot al refer to oar old friend Grover in this distress ful moment. Tho public is meanwhile patiently waiting for a few polysyll ables from Princeton iu the way of explanation and cheer. It is now np to those who hare ob jected to tno new revenue law to place those obections in tho bonds of their representatives in the legislature. A revenue system should not be a abject of partisan politics. If there are defects in the present law, we all want those defects remedied. The Jomrnal offers its space freely to dem ocrats and republicans alike, for sug gestions alone this line. Let us for get party and honestly study tho new law with the aim of making any changes necessary to make our revenue system as fair and just as a revenue system can be made. MISSOURI. There can be no question that Missouri has been held back industri ally and commercially by the reputa tion of being a "moss-back" state. This rather indefinite epithet is gen erally taken to mean a state whoso in habitants are still votinc for Bachan as, regardless. Of course, nobody can ay that a republican 6tate is any better morally or industrially than a demo cratic state. It is the fact that the voting population of a state is awake to the spirit of the times that i6 sig nil cant and full of premise. 1a point of wealth and variety of resomrces, Missouri is one of the great est states of the union. Its northern half is peopled by agricultural settlers from the states of the great corn belt. They are as wide-awake and progres sive as the men of Iowa, Illinois, or Ohio. The southern half of Missouri is the grazing, mining and moonshine district. Its population is practicallv aaohsHgiag and is to some extent law less, illiterate, democratic and gener ally benighted. It is this element that .has given rise to the. jocular proverb that a Missourian is one who must .have physical .demonstration. " For the first time in- thirty years Miaaoari oasts its vote for a republi eaa president, elects a republican state ticket asd a' republican United tor. And it should be re- that a democrat.

Miss- i stepped oat of the audience Imo fm Levis has i j nBsasasF bbssws svssaspwv - AN INSULT. The Telegram charges the republican land slide in Platte county to the hypnotic powers of I. Gluck and Ed Hoare and charges theEO two gentle men with trading off Henggeler and Hobart. The intelligence of Platte county voters is left entirely out cf the question. The Telegram assumes that they do net read or think for themselves but simply stand and wait for the two gentlemen in questiion to tell them how to vote. The facts are tnat Henggler owes his defeat to a few of his republican neighbors who were so sure of his election" that they did not go to the polls. And Hobart owes bis defeat to the fact that he would not permit his friends to make an agressive campaign for him. Neither Hobart nor Henggler nor Mickey nor any other republican candidate was traded this fall and the election re turns published in tbo Telegram dis prove his charge. For the big repub lican victory in Platte county, Ed Hoare and L Gluck deserve a large measure of credit. Bnt credit is due them not as hypnotists but as hard workers. The most of the credit is due the voters themselves who had the conrogo to break the spell of the brutal democratic majority in Platte county and to register their faith in a republican legislature that would stand for the new revenue law which tho Telegram and other democratic papers have falsely attacked. The Journal does not wish to rub it in, however. It is a bitter dose to take, but we advise the editor of the Tele gram to remember that the voters of Platte county are not fools. Don't in sult them by charging that Ed Hoare or any body else votes for them. THE GOVERNOR. Late returns settle beyond question the fact that Governor Mickey is re elected by a majority much greater than ho had two years ago. He is elected on his administration, not on his personal characteristics, not by tho assistance of the national ticket. Massachusetts, Minnesota, West Vir ginia, Colorado and probably Missouri all went for Roosevelt, somo by mam moth majorities, at the same time electing democratic governors, some ot them by large majorities. In the face of these numerous examples, it can hardly be said that Mickey was pulled through by Roose velt, though of course the national election brought out a larger vote than would be cast iu an off year. Against Governor Mickey's public record there has been raised no charge that would stick. He was not an overly popular candidate and he had many personal enemies, so ho was singled out for attack and the entire democratic campaign was made against him alone. His election by a plur ality that may reach 1.1,000 is at once a vindication of his administration and a rebuke to tho unworthy methods that were employed against him. THE SLTJuIiVISOIiS. Mr. Swanson, tbo only republican elected to tho board of supervisors, will be somewhat in the minority in board meetings, but his influence will be felt nevertheless. Hitherto there has not been a republican in the court house, and while one snpei visor is a small factor compared to the mighty court honse ring, his presence will bo a reminder of other elections to come and of a democratic majority which once was but which is not. It the board of supervisors will now discontinue the illegal payment of money to democratic nowsjiapers in Platte county, it may be that the day ot retnoution may be stayed lor a time yet. Not one of these papers has denied receiving this illegal money, with the exception of the Biene which merely denies that the law means what it says. Either the editor of the Biene is unable to read English, or ho is usurping tho function of the su preme court of Nebraska. If tho democratic supervisors refuse to content themselves with paying the democratic papers only what the law allows them to pay, let them remem ber that another election will come. AFTER THE BALL. Ach, Louie ! Carl Schurz. Ah, my friends ! Did I say a "rout?" Did I mention a "foot race?" Ah. my friends! W. J. li. (name withheld from publication.) If I jnst had that young whelp iu tho army once more ! Gen. Miles. This Teddy is a fellow that you can hit between the eves, all right, but the trouble is you can't hit him. T. Watson. I believe I'd rather be first in a little Esopian village. Than to be second in Rome. A. B. P. I could have showed de bloke a' run for his mon., and they trun me down for that stiff. Rotten! Rotten! W. R Hearst. The ultimate significance of these tabulated compilations of numerical symbols, conveying a portentous in dication of the general drift which the national prerogative of nntrammeled suffrage has assumed, having now percolated through my sentient facul ties, impels me, in order to give ade quate expression to the feelings which I entertain on this occasion, to revert for the moment into the vernacular of the proletariat and to remark that hell has broke loose. G. Cleveland. The world is getting to be a tolerably touch place for a cigarette smoker. Besides furnishing him with a down track and greased rails straight to predictition it stands in the doors of many big institutions and prevents him from getting a job. Swift, the big packer, Montgomery Ward Co., Hibbard Spencer, Bartlett Co. and hundreds of other business firms have put the ban on "coffin nails" and tne young man who uses them is de nied emplovment. When he seeks employment from the Rock Island the managers tell him "Your blunders might wreck a train" and if he goes to the Union Pacific Harriman greets him with the cheering information that "we might as well employ a lunatic as a cigarette smoker." It's getting to be a basiaeBs proposition, boys. Hadn't yon better quit? Cen- tral City Noa ParieL THE SOLID SOUTH. The vote of - the ex-slave states is aiiCther commentary on the serious ness of thn race question in the south. Every white man south cf tho Mason and Dixon line is practically disfran. f cbiseri politicallv because nis vote must bo used to protect him and his family from what he calls "nigger dcuiinction." The southern man has no more vote on political questions than his dog has. They call it tho. democratic ticket, probably because that was the name they used in the days when tho south tcck port in politics. It is the anti-negro party, having no more to do with politics thau with relieion or prohibition. Let tho democrats sweep the country asthovdidin 1S02; let tho republi cans carry it almost unanimously as in a iiX)i the vote in the solid south rolls in jufct the same, because the negro question is one which is inde pendent of tariff, finance, standing army, foreign or domestic policy. Its importance does not wax and wane with the seasons, but rather waxes over greater ana more ominous iu mo southern man. Those who have never been in the south can have no comprehensiun nf tho real condition. It is tho one great domestic problem for which nono can even suggest a solution. Wo who live iu the north, where our acquaintance with the colored race is confined to industrious bootblacks and obsequious waiters, can talk fluently about con stitutional rights and equality before Go:I and skin-deep color and so on. Smallpox is only skin-deep, for that matter. And the man who is afflicted with smallpox has the same divino and constitutional rights as anybody elp. But we banish him, nevertheless, from the sight and communion of men. The southern peoplo are not to be condemnsd by a man who has never lived in the south. Mob violence is unjustifiable and unpardonable, but it is not peculiar to tho south. The question is not the negro's presence, not his right to vote, bnt his right to hold office. This is wLere the south draws the line. Even Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, one of the ablest men of tho south, allowed himself recently to drift into a violent denunciation of President Roosevelt not on a political question, but on the over-present negro question. Tho president appointed an intelligent and cnltured negro to a federal office in Charleston, South Carolina, and re fused to bo bullied and bluffed out of his position by Senator Tillman, a man who in the matter of polite civ ilization is n mere blackguard. This is the act which has raado Roosevelt as hateful to tho south as Lincoln or Grant. The tliniuc of Booker Wash ington was an incident of no impor tance except for n-wspaper fireworks. But tho appointment of a negro to a public office in a southern city was rubbing talt into the sorest wound of the bravo sad chivalrous southern people. If Roosevelt ever made a mis take in his term as president, it was that one act. When a ma.ii arises who can suggest an effective remedy for tho grievous condition in the sonthern states, ho will do the country the greatest ser vice of the century, sociologically. DISCIPLINE. Firo broke out the other day in a public school building in Now York City, in which were 2,500 children. According to press reports, each teach er gave the commands of the firo drill which tho children had daily practic ed, and with haraly a trace of excite ment the 2,500 children marched in perfect order out of tbe burning build ing uninjured. No words can express how ndmiraLle and how necersary such a forra of school discipline is. When little children can be so perfectly trained as to walk calmly from a burning school house, it is an accomplishment which mny save their lives any day and which will bo of great valuo to them in after life. The great American fault is fligLti ness, hot-headedness and a proneues3 to panic. .No adult audience ever assem bled in a room and walked out in per fect order at an alarm of fire, as these New York children did. Let discipline bo monlded into the nature of onr fu ture men and women, while their natures are plastic and receptive, and how many rash acts may th6y be sav ed from in their mature years ! Order is synonymous with hv.v, both natural and political, and the motto and foun dation principle of the pioneers of modern science, Cuvier and Agassiz, wa3 order, omnia in online. RESPONSIBILITY. Thore is no duubt in the minds of American pcpple as to how President Roosevelt will employ the power and meet the responsibilities imposed upon him by popular vote. In the face of a popular endorsement so overwhelm ing, even his enemies are fileni, and his enemies are not among tho com mon people. But in the matter of the republican victory in Nebraska, the opponents of tho administration have not aban doned the attack. It is asserted that the state ticket was pulled through by Roosevelt and that the vote is not an endorsement of Governor Mickey. This is to be taken as an announcement that the charges of corporation con trol will be kept up, and it will be the opportunity of the state adminis tration to show whether there is any foundation for such charges. If Governor Mickey can close his second term with as clean a record as he shows for his first, there will be nothing to say against him. It was not until last night that D. V. Stephens gave np all hope of getting figures that would indicate the elec tion of Patrick McKillip to congress, whose campaign he managed Then he sent Congressman McCarthy a tele gram congratulating him on victory. It has been a long time since as warm a fight has been put up in this district as Mr. Stephens made in his effort? to elect McKillip. He had an office force of half a dozen at work all the time in his apartments at the theater, and there were dozens of lieutenants in it actively throughout the county and district. Twenty-five thousand letters were sent out to voters making a per sonal appeal for the support for the democratic candidate. "State Journal- . AN ACKNO WLEDGE3IENT. Allow me to express through the columns of the Journal, my gratitude to tbe republicans of ' Platte county for their loyal support, also to .my democratic friends without kind assistance! could not have been so nearly elected. To those friends who really owed me their support, bnt worked for my defeat, I have only to say that it is better to lose honestly than to win dishonorably. Yours Tiulv, Joseph Henggler. DIRTY POLITICS. Lincoln Star: No feature. of the Nebraska election will be more grati fying to fair-minded citizens thau tbe emphatic re-election of Governor Mickey. The brent of the opposition fight fell upon him. A storm of ca lumny and personal detraction buret over him and continnrd down to the very day of election. The unscrupulous methods employed aguinst him met with just rebuke and condemnation. Tho hlatnn for sneb abominable abuse is not to be laid in discriminately upon tho democrats and populists of the state, for thous ands of them, fair and honorable men, deplored such unworthy and wicked tactics. But there is no qnestion that amene the responsible leader, both in the fusion organization and on the stump and in tho press, a deliberate conspiracy was formed to break Gov ernor Mickey down by such means, and the plan was carried out to the utmost of their ability. The governor is an old soldier of tbe civil war of honorable record, a pion eer of Nebraska, a leading publio sririted citizen who ban served the people faithfully in many places of trust, a man of high character, and as governor has, beyond question, given the peoplo one of the cleanest and most serviceable administrations in the history of the state. . Yet this was the man whom it was plotted to stop at en scruple to bring into con tempt, to misrepresent, to defame by sybtematic circulation of slanderous fabrications. Such a campaign was indeed waged against him in the same rmrtisan interest two years ago, and this year it was renewed with increased virulence and malicious laboration. . It is well for the state of Nebraska, well for decency and honesty and fair play in politics, that the calumioa otrs have failed, and failed so sig nally. Snrelv we have had enough of such wretched business too mnch of it. Snrely the reckless partisans who have inflicted it upon the etato ought by this time to see tbe fruitless ness of it and ought to stop on that account alone, if for no other consid eration May we not hope that when another political contest comes on in this state, it will be conducted at loast with some approach to decency and regard for the amenities which gov ern gentlemen in their intercourse? May we not hope that the result this year will admonish ruthless political managers that this is the safest policy in Nebraska for them, whatever thoir disposition may be? Township Officers.
