Tim most refreshing news from Can

TIIK democrats of the First Congres

To bo sure good democrats will be

agricultural statistician :
have agreed that there is a doficionci
in the harvests of wheat and rye whiel
will necessitate the importation of a-bou
fifty million bushels. This supply wil
bo drawn of course from Russian Polam
and from Southern Russia , but as it wil
materially diminish the amount o
wheat on hand in Odessa , England wil
not be able to dictate prices to tin
American seller of wheat , as has hitherto
orto been the case. England require
yearly an importation of wheat varyiti }
from twenty to twenty-five millions o
tons , mid the United Suites furnish full ;
one-half of this , Russia and Indis
supplying the balance. The domain
from Franco and Germany will oxhaus
the Russian supply , anil as the harvest
in northwestern India , hnvo boon far be
low , the average , our friend John linl
will not bo able to purchase wheat fron
American farmers for less than cost , bu
will have to pay them a good livinj
price with tv little balance duo fron
past years.
TiiKlU ! is one phase of the trust ques
tlon to which no allusion has boei

trust by a business man who receives i
heavy salary for the work. There i

unknown. Certain sums making a tola
of nearly two hundred millions wor

The lionet Circular.
A now light 1ms Just boon shod on
the civil service reform pretenses of the
administration which must bo especially
interesting to the mugwump allies of
the democracy. It Is the discovery thnt
more than two years ago n confidential
circular was tent by General lionet ,
chief of ordnance , to the commanding
oHlcorrt of the armories and arsenals of
the government , requiring them in em
ploying uur > on9 to give preference to
democrats , and applying this rule to
women and children , as well as
to men. It appears that this or
der lias been faithfully observed
by the officers to whom it was
.ddrohscd , and that consequently the
rmorics and arsenals nro pretty much
11 democratic in the political character
f their employes. Not only were men
: nown to be republicans dismissed and
heir places tilled by democrats of un-
oubtcd party loyalty , but women and
hildrnn were thrown out of employ-
nent to make places for the faithful.
Of course this order was not made
I'lthout the knowledge and concurrence
f Secretary Endicott , who has been re
garded as perhaps the model civil
ervico reformer of the cabinet , and it is
lardly to bo supposed that it was is-
uod without the knowledge and con-
iont of Mr. Cleveland. No chief of a
mreau would direct a policy of this
cind on his own responsibility , and it is
tot the habit ol army officers to mix in
) olitics in this way.Vo know nothing
ibout General Beliefs political opin-
ons , but whatever they may be he very
ikoly was personally unconcerned
ivhothor republicans or democrats were
3inployed in the armories and arsenals.
Tnquestionably , therefore , tins order
vas inspired , the source of inspiration
being at least as high in the adminis
tration as the secretary of war , with
every probability that the president
know nil about the matter and'gave it
lis approval. The statement of Gen-
? ral Bcnct that the order was made In
direction of the secretary of war will
lot bo questioned.
There can bo no doubt that this order
and what has been done in pursuance of
it was n. violation of the civil service
law. This will cause no concern to dem
ocrats , who will rather be glad to find
that the administration has been co
vertly doing what it could to reward
democrats , and that while professing
devotion to reform principles has been
working in the dark and in secret
to defeat them. * But . what must
the independents who have maintained
that the administration was sincere in
its professions of reform think of this
disclosure of hypocrisy and deception V
It will pnzv.lo Mr. Curtis and his asso
ciates of the reform league to find any
excuse or-npology for this order , which
is the most flagrant and indefensible
example of using the spoils for reward
ing partisans that has over bi-on made
public in this country. It is understood
that to-day Senator Halo will bring this
order to the attention of the senate and
ask for an investigation. It is a proper
subject of congressional inquiry , and it
is desirable that the responsibility for
the order shall bo fixed where it be
longs. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Prohibition li > the Doubtful Suites.
Everybody understands that the pro
hibition vote is largely drawn from the
republican party , and that wherever it
has increased the republican vote has
almost correspondingly decreased. Now
York , Now Jersey and Connecticut
might not bo doubtful states if it were
not for the prohibition vote. Four years
ago the prohibition vote in Now York
was twenty-five thousand , which was in
creased two years ago to thirty-six
thousand. This vote in New Jersey was
six thousand four years ago nnd nearly
twenty thousand two years ago , when
Genera , ! Fisk ran for governor. The
prohibition vote of Connecticut four
years ago was about twenty-five hun
dred , and it had nearly doubled two
years ago. It is thus seen that in all
these doubtful states prohibition prin
ciples have been steadily gaining ad
herents , which coining chiolly from the
republicans has tended to make these
states still more doubtful.
The prohibition party is very active
this year in all these states , but not
withstanding this republicans arc hope
ful that the prohibition vote will ex
perience a falling on" , as it did at the late
elections in both Vermont and Maine.
It is believed , and not unreasonably ,
that while the prohibitionists in the
doubtful states are as deeply attacheil
to their party now as at any previous
time , ti great many of them will con
clude that as the tariff problem must be
determined in November , and in anj
event prohibition is for future determi
nation , it is their duty to vote with oiu
of the political parties that while nol
abandoning their principles , they wil !
hold them in abeyance in order to a't-
tnnd to the more immediately pre&sinj
economic question. Whatever niimbci
shall decide to do this , the majority o
them will of course cast their vote will
the republicans.
There are indications that in Nov
York and Connecticut there ivill bo i
very considerable accession of prohibi
tionists to the republicans , but it is ex
poeted that in Now Jersey the prohibi
tionists will hold their own. Thoii
presidential candidate is of that state
and ho is exceedingly popular with hi :
homo people. Ii is quite possible , however
over , that his rccont avowal that ho i
in favor of protection may have an in
tluenco to induce a number of the pro
hlbitioniutH to vote with the ropubli
cans. The diversion of two or threi
thousand of these voters would umki
New Jersey a republican state.
As the situation stands , the prohibi
tionlsts appear to hold the balance o
power in all these doubtful states , am
the probable vote of that party is consequently
quently a nwtterof commanding inter
ost. As wo have said , tlioy are pushinf
their campaign vigorously , but the in
dicatlons nro that they are not addinj
to tholrjtronfjth , and it is reasonable
hope that a considerable number o
them will see their Uuty to vote will
the republicans in November.
SlKCK the Wohoo encampment then
lias boon much said for nnd ngninst thi
annual dress parade of the atuto militia
Vjpwed purely from the taxpayer
upoiut.ttl10 appropriation of sovont :
thousand dollars for militia expenses in
1887-88 is n piece of extravagance. The
last legislation simply opened the sluice
ways for spending the people's money ,
and paved the way for a larger appro
priation next winter. The taxpayers of
Nebraska hnvo no money to throw away
on an annual division brigade encamp
ment where n staff of gold-laced officers
go in for a high old time , while the
privates nro starved on coffee and bacon.
The whole business is a farce. There
is no necessity of bringing men and
their trappings five hundred miles to
tin annual encampment at great ex
pense when each company can
go into camp for a wool ;
or two at homo to better advantage.
Cobraska has little to fear from foreign
nvasion , and there is no prospect of an
ndian war. The brigade field drill at
.Vahoo . was a waste of time and money.
There may bo occasions when the mili-
ia will be called out to quell riots ere
o protect property. For such purposes
veil drilled companies only nro offec-
ive. The truth of the matter is , there
s a great deal of show in the present
ystem. Nebraska wants a good militia ,
jut she cannot afford to support a corps
> ( tinsel soldiers demoralized by huge
innual appropriations.
Tin : unexpected visit of u number of
prominent members of the Winonn ,
Minn. , board of trade to Omaha was an
grecable surprise , and one highly np-
> reciated by our citi/ons. It calls to
ur attention the interest which the
itics of the northwest are ontortaininir
or a more intimate commercial ruin-
ion with Omaha. They are anxious to
establish a close and direct communica-
ion with ns , and they are devising the
ivays and means by which this can be
'irought about. It is plainly to be scon
lint n railroad direct irom the lumber
nnd Hour centers of the northwest to
ho gateway of Nebraska , rich in corn
ind cattle , will be mutually beneficial.
The extension to Omaha of the \Vinona
Southwestern railroad is destined ,
therefore , to bo of great importance. It
opens a boo line.Vo nro brought into
ho heart of the Minnesota wheat fields
and the pineries of Minnesota and
Wisconsin. It moans cheaper
umber and Hour for Nebraska.
11 opens another ch'innel for the ship
ment of our packing house products to
the seaboard by way of the great lakes.
It will make Omaha a great distribut
ing depot. Moreover , if it bo trno ,
that this new line , when completed , is
a connecting link in the Delaware &
Lackawanna system , it brings to Nc-
miskn a powerful trunk line which
ivould actively compote for tratlic to the
Atlantic seaboard.

An Omalm Mc.rclinnt'H Statement of
tin ; Political Situ-uinit.
NKW YOIIK , Sept. 120. To the Editor
of TIIK HKI : : When f got to New York
I fondly hoped to get some satisfactory
information for myself as to the prob
able chance of winning a silk hat , and
about the first thing I did in the even
ing was to visit political headquarters.
At the republican .stand my convictions
were convicted. I came away feeling
bolid with new information and fresh
statistics that seemed to crown Harrison
pre-eminently as the coming man. Then
visiting the HolTman house I wont to
the democratic parlors to view the com
ing political corpses. They are lively
yet , though , and when I put in my say ,
as any outsider has a right to do in a
political discussion. 1 was immediately
llattonod out by an overwhelmingly
superior force of vocalized wind. One
voluble talker proved to mo on the lips
of his fingers in about sixty seconds tlio
certainty of Cleveland's rt-olectionand
I had to acknowledge that there wore
some points I had not heard discussed ,
and that if the assertions made were
true , doubt remained.
You can't got a good view of a build
ing by standing close to the wall and
looking up. You see but ono side and
that imperfectly. "You must stand oil'a
ways , getting a perspective that takes
in the whole outline. Just so with poli
tics. I therefore backed away and took
upon mo the mask of an interviewer.
1 have seen and talked with some of
these wno manage the different politi
cal rudders , as well as with some of the
inlluontial business men who are en-
rapport with headqnartor.i , and from
what 1 can learn I predict that Harrison
will be president and Hill governor of
Now York. The rum power is an unit
for Hill and openly tniding or
wanting to trade , in this
eily , live to ono Harrison for Hill.
The liquor dealers will elect Hill if
knifing Cleveland will do it , I am told
that in Brooklyn , which is the center
of the hat making industry of this coun
try , the operators have organized them
selves and will vote against free trade
to a man. So , tow , will the brickmak-
ors and cement makers along the Hud
son. Other industries that will bo af
fected by a reduction of tlio tariff are
falling into line , and there will bo a
beautiful surprise in the product of this
political figuring when tlio adding tip
takes place in November. That the
democrats have plenty of money and
the power of political olllco is true. That
there will bo , as there always has been ,
a largo contingontof purehnsonblo votes
can't bo denied. That the rum vote
is holid for Hill is demonstrated
nnd admitted by the republicans.
That intelligent partisans are betting
freely on either side is an every day oc
currence , and that no man can certainly
foretell who will bo elected goes with
out saying. Hut thorn is a strong prob
ability that New York will go republi
can , and by a good majority not a scant
1,000 , but by a good , healthy , aggressive
array of figures that will bo beyond ar
gument and indicate the intelligence
and patriotism uf ( ho people of the lim-
piro state. With a republican victory
in Now York the party will win , and
with a big corn 'crop in Nebraska the
country will bo safe. Yours truly ,
A. R. Loom.

LINCOLN , Nob. , Sept. IK ) . To the
Editor of Tins BKK. The nomination
of J. Sterling Morton for congress brings
to mind ( ho charges made by certain
democrats that during the entire can
vass of 1881 ho never mentioned the
name of Cleveland and Hondrlcks in
any of his speeches. Ho was opposed U
the nomination of Cleveland and as a
delegate never did cast a vote for him.
The samu can bo said of Ilondricks.
Morton In his own estimation so com
pletely ovcshndows the nominees o
his party that ho fails to oven
condescend to mention their names

novels. Is this the proper interpreta
tion of Christ's teaching and is the
Christian world in error ? Canon Far-
rar has answered this inquiry in a re

The republican : * of Lancaster county
are wide awake. It is certain that she
intends lo sustain her reputation as the
banner republican county of the state.
At no time during the history of the
past has there ever been moro enthusi
asm in republican circles than now.
Genuine conversions have taken the
place of the shiftless mugwump , and
the rank and file of the party is
stronger than over ; the boys are evi
dently working upon the theory that
vigilance is the price of liberty. There
is no faltering or falling by the way
side. Last night enthusiastic meetings
were held in this city , LJennott and
Little Lalt school house. From two to
four meetings will be held throughout
the county every night from now until
the morning of the election. The light
will bo aggressive. There will bo no
compromise with democracy in tiny
sense.
The Capital City Flambeau club held
a very important meeting at republi
can headquarters last night. The
jiartidn preceding the speaking was
imposing. It was headed by the
drum corps , and the marches anil
conn tor marches attracted the attention
of a largo number of people and evoked
many complimentary remarks. At 8'tO :
o'clock Judge Parker called the meet
ing lo order , and introduced Rev. Ral
ston , pastor of the Plymouth Congrega
tional church , who hold the vast nudi-
once in closi-st attention for more than
nn hour. lie convinced his audience
that ho could loach tlio principles of
good government as well as preach.
His argument on the principle of pro
tection was exhaustive and convincing ,
and ho arraigned tlio prohibition party
and likened it unto a little go-cart , the
head of which is hitched to the demo
cratic wagon. Ho stated emphatically
that the party did not care half so much
for prohibition as il did for democratic
success. Hon. J. H. Strode cloned the
meeting with a spirited talk. Ho traced
the history of tlemocracy and the atti
tude of the party on the tariff question.
The meeting was decidedly the most en
thusiastic hold in the city since tlio for
mal inauguration of the campaign. It
certainly strengthened republicans and
weakened democrats who care to listen
to reason and personal inluresta. Mossbacks -
backs , however , will vote their preju
dices irrcgardless of party and truth.

KKitiousiA' INMIUID. :
The friends of Charles W. Clites , a
member of hoe company No. 1 , will bo
sorry to learn that ho mot with a very
serious accident about noon yesterday.
While engaged in cleaning up some
rubbish at the rear of the stalls where
the company's horses are kept , one of
them gave him a terrific kick square in
the face , piling him up in an iiibonsiblo
condition for sovcral minutes , s-o life
less , too , that his friends thought for ti
moment that tlio kick bad killed him.
Dr. Hart was called and dressed his
wounds. His lip was found to be badly
cut and his HOBO broken. Charley will
doubtless bo somewhat disfigured , but it
is thought that his wounds will soon
heal. It was a narrow escape from mor
tal injuries.

The republicans of lionnott and vicin
ity hold an enthusiastic meeting last
evening. It was largely attended. The
Harrison and Morton club of the place
is probably the best organized and
equipped of any in Lancaster county.
At least it is the only mounted club , and
it stops not for "wind or weather" when
work is the order for the national ,
btato and county republican tickets.
And , moreover , the republicans of the
town and vicinity arc loyal to the core.
The prohibitionists stole a march on the
boys during the week and secured the
public hall for the evening for the pur
pose of organi/.lng a club to battle for
democracy. They held it during the
entire evening and denied the republi
can committee of the town and visitors
even the ordinary and customary cour
tesies. The republican meeting was
therefore hold in the open airy , _ .

hundred people stood without for two

A Novel W.-iy In Itnlso Money.
O.MAli \ , Sept.2.r > . To the Editor of
Tun HKK : Apropos of the o'Torts made
by the Young Men's C'liristian Associa
tion of Omaha , to raise funds for the
completion of their building , a scheme
is suggested kwhieh has proven eminently -
nontly successful in raising money to
endow St. Luke's hospital , New York.
The projector sent to a friend a letter
asking the latter to send two copies of it
to two of his friends the request that
each of thorn should again twice copy
the epistle and dispatch it to an equal
number of acquaintances. This system
of uolii-iting aid was continued throuirh
twenty series. These who received letters -
tors bearing that number were expected
to send six cents to the projector of the
scheme without making any further
copies of the request. This novel sys
tem of obtaining llnnneinl aid for the
Y. M. ( ' . A. would have tlio advantage"
of giving the proposed scheme a wide
publicity. And at the exnonso of only six
cents and a little trouble , an amount
could bo collected which would be im
possible to get by another method. It
is the old horseshoe and nail story put
to practical tost. In ether words' , it is
a problem in arithmetical progression ,
promising most gratifying results.
A little figuring will show that iL
every person reae.hod by the letter re
mits fi conts. the total amount received
by the association would be no loss than
$12 ! > ,000. Even if only these who re
ceived letter No. " 0 replied , there would
bo over live hundred thousand re
sponses , and the money contributed
would lo over iK0,0JU. ! ( Let Hie scheme

Lincoln Call.
The "militia" of the country is sup
posed to bo the domestic force of astute ,
for the state's defense , difl'oront from
the regular army , and can bo employed
nt home or abroad in either aggressive
or defensive operations. It is in fact a
part of the regular army and white the
state legislature may prescribe its
functions , yet the constitution of the
United States has given the power to
provide for ' calling forth the militia
to execute the laws of the union , sup
press Insurreclioiihtind repel invasions. "
The only time the militia of Nebraska
was over called to defena anything was
at the famous battle of Camp Dump.
It was when the whole crowd
was ordered to Omaha upon qucstloi-
able authority of law by the boy go---
ernor , Albinus Nance. There was . n
alleged riot. The militia was hurri d
to Omaha and remained there between
March ! l , IHh'J , and March U'J. IhSU. A
bill was railroaded through the legiH-
luturoof $11)0.10 ( ) to defray the ex
panse of the frightful farce. The Horns
of oxpoiiho would all bo of Intorosl , A
band of music cost Jfid.fli. One firm
furnished meats at an expense of fcJ'Jl- .
C. F. ( ioodmnn furnished drugs and
medicines , $114.-j , while the Hurling-
ton railway charged and was paid
81/,0.5l : ! ( for transporting troops.
And what did the militia do ?
There was no riot to suppress. There
was no danger. The sheriff of Douglas
county should havp sent them homo at
0111:0. : Hul they remained , at a great
expense , and nil they did was to kill in
cold blood , without warrant or reason ,
an olti tottering gray-haired man , of
the name of Amslrong , who wns crrnb-
ing the street. Thov bore down iixm |
him and with n bayonet pierced him
and killed him.
That is the crowning glory of the
btato militia. It diojld bo abolished.
