TlffiRJUS IN IT.
Wo copy quite extended comments i
the constitutional amendment to bo vob
on in November. The onmmonts a
made by 'tho Omaha \\rpubUcan at
BEE , and afford the render n upportuni
to look at the matter from both s5dt
But , actually , if the voti-r dor ires lo ha'
the legislature regula nnd control tl
railroads , ho is oppoaod to tl
amendment. On the other hand , if tl
voter is in favor of having a commi
sion created to rrgulato and en
trol the railroad ? , ho is in favor of tl
Amendment. That is all there is in it.-
Sprlngficlk Monitor ,
Thai is not all there is in it. Tl
question is do the taxpayers of Nobi.ii'i
propose to vote for a railroad commissii
without knowing how many members
will bo composed of or what oalary tin
will draw. Do the people of Nobran
desire to clothe the legislature wi
power to create n horde ot other alt
oQicials at unlimited salaries ? Do th
pioposo to remove the barrier which t
present constitution affords against nu
botlcss state officials and limitless salurii
There is n great deal more in the pi
posgd amendment than would appear
What dooa the followl

moan ? What other atato oflhers are T
to have besides the railroad CDmini
sionora ? Are wo to have n state o
ginoor , a commissioner of Imraigralio

master , and acorcs of other ofliciala

The fraraora of our present oonstlt
tion havn very wiooly enumerated tl
various ofllcora in the executive dopai
mont and prohibited the legislature fro
creating additional ones. The salary '
each state ofilcor is now fixed by the o
; anio iaw , but the proposed amen
mont is BO worded that tl
ogislaturo may not nnly create or
number of uorr otlicos but may also ii
crease the salaries of the state oflico
already created. This would bo a
elegant scheme for hungry oflioo sooko
and tax eaters. There may a tin
como when this state can afford to pa

THE war against the landing of "a
Bistod emigrants , " is bolnR carried t
very vigorously by the commissioners i

the matter was taken to the suprora

TUB effect of the present campai ,
upon some nowapaj era is rather stupol
ing. According to the Boston Advertis
the Oharlostown ( Mass ) NewEntcrpri
is in trouble as to which president !
ticket to put at the head of its column

ono of the proprietors said thoao nam
must como out and Blaine and Logj
must bo put in. The editor , who is
Cleveland man , thereupon resigne
Then the other proprietor cacao aloi
and said Cleveland and Hondricks mu
bo put back. It is suggested that thi
might compromise by having it for 01
ticket ono week , and the other the noz
or they might call it Cleveland and L

dilemma.
TIIEUI : is moro trouble in the wostei
railway world. The days of the tripe

a strong foothold in northern Nobroak

PA K TV AND "pJlOJIIJilTlON ,
Palling into conversation recently wii
a gentleman engoged in manufacturin
and incidentally in n commercial but
tietB , ho expressed himself as compellt
to net with the republican party bocau
it favors fair protection , for , said ho ,
that were nbrrgitcd my business wou
bo ruined I could no longer carry it c
At the same time ho said ho could n
approve of absolute prohibitory lav
in regard to the manufa
turo and sale of liquors , and aa the r
publican party in some of the states a ]
parantly favored such law , ho was in
quandary as to what course to pursue !
the poudint ; national political contest.
little further conversation on the subje
left no doubt on the mind of the writ
that the person referred to would vo
for the republican candidate for prot
dont. His position i. , however , a su
gestivo ono , and strongly indicates th
1 ho subject which was bothering hi
aora o what needs elucidation.
It Is true that in aorao few states ,
in Iowa , which is a state principally d
voted to agriculture , and in which tl
republican party greatly predominate
state laws have been enacted prohibito
in their nature. But this action mu
bo taken and understood in a local ai
not in a national sense. Such laws a
liable to bo enacted in any state whore
considerable majority of the people
the state are in favor of them.
It is a state affair , a domestic conccr
devoid cf a national character. Wha
over republicans , aided by democrats , i
democrats aided by republicans may t
in a state , having rtgmi to the domest
concerns of the state , is ona thing ; whi
the course which may bo pursued by tl
republican or democratic party in the
national capacities , is quita anotho
Both of these parties are nation
parties , and the ono is aa mn <
opposed to prohibition as tl
other. Ntithor of these parti
includes the subject of prohibition in i
platform Noitlior of these great ni
tional parties loans toward piohibitioi
nor is it Hkoly thai it will very soon. Tl
fact that i ho nucleus of a national pri
bibitiun party haa boon formed and hi
numinattd its candidates for the pro
idcntial offices , is pretty conclusive ev
dence on this point. This leaves tl ;
two parties in the positi- which tht
oujiht to occupy on this question Wi (
the question of prohibitory kgislatic
tlioy will have nothing to di
Thu subjects of revenue , tariff , finano
the public lands , civil service reform , an
f jreign policy , with such others as ai
recognized as belonging to the guier ,
government , are quito sufficient tu ei
i > ross the attention of great nation ;
parties. The subject of prohibition to
lungs to the several states in their ind
vidual capacities , and there it will I
likely to remain. It is therefore an e
roneous idea for anyone to thin
of leaving the national party to which 1
belongs from any considerations pertaii
ing to the subject of prohibition. If b
is opposed to prohibitory laws , he shou ]
stay in his party , whichever it may bi
( unless he loaves it for other consider !
dons ) and flght prohibition there. F <
those who are opposed to prohibition 1
puisuo the opposite course by concontra
log in ono of the national partii
whenboth _ of those parties ignore tli
question , would have the effect to coi
ciintrato the prohibitory forces and thi
cdnduco to bring about what the ant
prohibitionists wish to avert. If oithc
of the great political parties were to ci
pouse the cause of prohibition , it woul
would furnish a reason why those oj
posed to it should leave tht
party. But until this takes placi
which is not likely to occur at al
there is , so far as this question is coi
corned , just as much reason for a dome
crat to vote for the republican prosidcr
ttal nd congressional candidates as thei
Is for n republican to vote for those c
the democratic party. S. G. W.

There { s a growing belief that the d
prossion in business has touched better
nnd that a gradual , and possibly rnpi
recovery will now take place. It is di
ficult to indicate the exact evidence <
such a change. It is rather felt tht
soon. As in nature , certain events a
felt to bo in a given form , rather thi
known to bo ; so in business , there is
feeling that the worst is over , b afore BI
distinct evidence ia icon. Yet , evi
now , there is A bisia for the belief th
so widely prevails. The crops have m
tutcd and are being gathered. These a
so abundant and good that they repr

there ia the assurance that wo are sul
stantlally wealthier than were sever
months ago. Even if the markets ai
not active , or prices high , the fact th
wo have the material , which sooner i
later will command a market , is ono el
mont in our. growth in conGdono.
Then the weak and rotten element h
boon wooded out , and it is found that tl
country is not in so bad a condition
was supposed. The element that h
gone under ia largely speculative , and d
neb contribute to the real growth of tl
country. The railroads , while stocks ha'
alituak in value , have generally shown
good earning capacity. Insomo cases tl
earnings are larxor than. when the pric
of stocks wan far in excess of what the
now aro. Th i sentiment is gradual
obtaining thai there is no real rosfua f
the scare , and that U has been ilt-ddvisi
and injutiouj. Bouce the gain in con

Still another element is the natur
energy of the American character. Oi
pooptu do nut incline to sit duvru in a
ject despair and Idt things go. A pan
may seize on them , and it will run i
course. But sooner or later sound son

beginning to so assert itself that an it

for a long time unleao there ore very so
