Eight years ngo'tho monopoly cohorts
apturotl the republican state conven-
ion and-nominated John M. Thurstoti
and James 'Laird n3 presidential olec-
flrs. In order to vote for Garllold n.nd
Arthur , the republicans of Nebraska
wore compelled to cast their baliots foi
ho notorious nttornoi'3 and lobbyists o
ho Union Pacific and Burlingtoi
roads. More than two thousand ropub
leans who voted for Thurston and
L.alrd did so in violence to their con
cientlous convictions and self-respect ,
This year the railroad forces , after
> oing routed in the stuto convention
n the nomination of General Loose ,
timed in and folstod upon the party : i :
ono of the presidential electors , U. G ,
lusaoll , who was a spy during the wai
ind proved himself a traitor to thn peo'
) lo in the last legislature. This WHS
lone to insult the anti-monopoly ropub
leans and nt the same time reward t
icnchman who had proved himself use'
ill to ttio monopolies in defeating Var
kVyek and in helping them in all thoii
ichotncs and jobs. It is an open Bocro
, hat the renegade was made coinmiindci
of the Grand Army for ono year by tin
nfluenco of the railroad lobby. On
of thcso base creatures oven wont si
ar as to communicate the password t <
Hiurfeton's oil-room lobbyists , so as t <
enable them to work members of tin
order while the election of state com
nundor wa < in progress iu their hall.
Now that Russell has been retired hi
is expected to wield great infiucnc
with the next president as ono of th
electors whom the republicans of Nc
braska delight to honor. That dc
ponds , however , whether Ru&soll run
at the heart or at the tail of th
electoral ticket. The ropublica
voters who detest venality hnv
it in their power to adtninii
tor n rebuke to Traitor Russol
and the monopoly honchuion who hav
thrust him upon the party in a position
which should only bo filled by men wh
command the respect of every hones
and reputable citizen.
Scratch the traitor's name off th
ticket and reduce his majority to th
lowest lovol. With fully twenty-fiv
thousand majority for the nationti
ticket in Nebraska the party will rune
no risk in cutting Russell's majorit ,
down below that of every other candi
duto on the ticket. Do this and yo
will never bo insulted again by havin
a renegade crammed down your throa
because convention packers have th
power to do it. Every scratch thn
Rusboll receives from republicans , wi !
bo a protest against the base botrayc
of the people.
THE REAL DANQEll.
The monopoly organs and carapaig
Strikers nre making frantic appeals t
republican voters to vote for disroptuc
bio candidates to the legislature for th
sake of Mandorson. This is all th
merest pretense. The railroad mar
ngors are willing enough to acccj
Mundorsor. if they can got their ow
men into the legislature. But the pei
plo of Nebraska cannot afford to son
men to the legislature who will pla
into the hands of the monopolies
There is no danger of electing a dome
c ratio senator in place of Mandorsoi
but there is great danger that wo sha
have a railroad legislature and unothc
costly session , with nothing to bouel
the people and an enormous increase i
tuxes for the benefit of jobbers an
plunderers.
DEMOCRATIC SURPRISES.
It was rumored seine days ago thi
the democratic managers hud in store
great surprise for the country , tl
effect of which when announced wou'
certainly bo disastrous to the renublict
party in Now York , and seriously dm :
aging to it elsewhere. The report wi
sent out on the authority of u perse
said to be close in the confidence of tl
democratic managers , and it was not r
gardod as at all incredible for the re
son that democratic tactics in the pa
have taught the country to expect
resort to such expedients , particular
when when all regular and fair moai
are exhausted and proved to bo un
vailing. Having In mind the despo
ate situation of the democracy , cspoc
ally in New York , there was every re
son to bollovo that the managers wou
concoct something as a last resort to r
tain and catch votes.
But wo are within thrco days of tl
election and the great surprise has n
come. It may make its appearance t
day or to-morrow , but obviously if it
to bo of any general service to the par
it should appear forthwith. We su
posed when the report car
of a purpose to arrest Senat
Quay , tno chairman of the n
tionnl republican committee , on son
trumped up charge of olToring money
procure illegal registrations , that th
was to bo the surprise which was to stn
tie the country , but If any such purpo
was over entertained it has doubtlo
been abandoned , owing to the wide pu
licatlon given it. At any rate a mo
of this character could now have i
effect favorable to the democracy , b
rather the contrary. The arrest
General Ramsay , the chairman of tl
republican state committee of Now Jc
soy , on the charge of endeavoring
bribe n voter to register the name
another person , has boon shown to ha
been brought about by conspiracy , ai
the resentment of fair-minded dcm
crnts in New Jersey has boon a lossc
to the democratic managers that tactl
of this sort are not profitable. A nui
bor of ether things which the dem
crnts might do at the last moment ha\
been suggested , but the party mangers
gors will bo extremely careful andc
the knowledge that the country is o
peeling some sort of trlokery , and an ;
thing they may now send out must pa
sess extraordinary plausibility to ir
pose-upon the credulity of anybody.
Meanwhile republicans need have i
anxiety regarding democratic surprise
Fhoso. which the party has evolved
during the , campaign have turned to'
ho discomfiture of the party , and a
similar result is reasonably to bo ox-
> ootcd from liny it may invent during
he brief remaining tlmo before olcc-
, ioo. The party la handicapped by a
> opulnr distrust which will render im
potent any further effort it may make
o divert the public mini from the true
ssucs of the contest.
CLARKE OF N/IH1T.
R6publlcans of Sarpy should resent
the nomination thrust upon thorn of H.
F. Clarke , nnd repudiate him at the
, > olls. Clarke is nn unmitigated fraud
nnd monopoly henchman. When ho
was employed in the revenue service
under Judge CroUnao years ago , ho pro
fessed to bo n rampant anti-monopolist.
Ho wrote scathing attacks upon railroads -
roads and railroad extortion , and had
them published in TIIK BKE over an
other name. As float senator from
Douglas and Sarpy counties Clarke
showed himself to bo a most willing tool
of the monopolies. IIo voted to make
Church Howe acting president ol
the senate , and voted with Howe
against railroad regulation. Two years
ago he wont to Beatrice as a delegate
to the congressional convention , and
defiantly misrepresented the wishes ol
reputable republicans in his county by
not only casting his own vote for Church
Howe , but bulldo/.ing the other dele
gates from Sarpy Into line for the No-
mtiha boodlcr. Through his pernicious
inlluonco Mr. Snoll was counted oul
and n democrat substituted iu the lual
legislature.
It is high time that this corporation
tool should bo rebuked by all decent re'
publicans. Bury him utulor an nvn-
lanoho of votes and teach men of hi ;
stripe that money cannot buy positions
of honor and trust.
WILL ItEPUliLWANS ENDORSE
HIM f
For the first time since the advent ot
Isaac S. Hascall in this state , the his'
lory of his career as a helper of slave-
drivers and associate of bushwhackers
is made public. While republicans
who resided in Omaha at the close ol
the war huvo a vivid recollection of the
treasonable utterances of Hascall when
ho was ono of the democratic wheel-
horses in this county , very few , indeed ,
wore aware of the rank disloyalty and
depravity of this man at a time when
the nation's lifo was hanging in the
balance.
Men of southern birth , who honestb
entertained the belief that their allo
glnnco to the state was above all othoi
considerations , and those who wore
drawn into the secession vortex by the
intense sentiment that prevailed in
their southern homed are entitled t (
some respect. The idea that slavori
was a divine institution was preached
to them from the pulpit and instilled
into their minds from infancy by those
most dear to them.
But what shall bo said of the man
born on the free soil of the great
and loyal state of Now York , whe
wont into Kansas to join the slavo-driv
ing band of Missouri ruffians that in
vaded that territory with the pro
claimed intent to plant slavery there
forever. What a state of depravity
mubt the man of northern birth have
reached who was willing to aid and abe
the rebellion but lacked the manhood
to take up arms for it , excepting possl
bly from behind the secure ambush.
Will republicans of this * county endorse
dorso the villifior of Abraham Lincoln
and the malignant traducer of the soldiers
diors who wore battling gallantly for tlu
preservation of the union and upholdin ;
its Hag ?
Does the more fact that suoh a mat
has been nominated on the ropublicar
ticket by a gang of.ward roustabouts entitle
title him to the loyal support of moi
who arc republicans from principle ?
IB republicanism nothing more thai
a name , or does it stana for loyalty , lib
erty and patriotism ?
If republicans , with Hascall's careo
vividly before them , can cast thoii
votes to make him their roprosontativi
in any legislative body , they will no
only disgrace themselves , but destroy al
the respect and reverence of which tin
grand old party of freedom can boast.
THE TWO DEMOCRACIES.
Even at this time of an unproco
dontedly heated political contest , jus
tlco ought to bo done to northern demo
crats. The manner in which this cam
puign has boon run shows emphatically
that there arc two democracies , ant
that thcso , though they may ugroo ii
canons of political faith , are at issue 01
.matters of public policy. The Cleveland
land campaign has boon fought upon i
pro-Britlbh basis from the first hour
and this is in strict conformity with thi
traditions and the practices of thi
southern democracy. It is most odiou
to northern democrats , who are u
patriotic in sentiment and conviction
as men can bo , but who are porpotuall ;
dragged into filth by their bouthorr
allies. When the south seceded it wai
with a firm reliance upon their British
friends , and British assistance wasgivci
as far aa Britons dared logo. They won
sneaking allies of the confederacy undo
pretense of a grloved neutrality , ant
the Alabama arbitration showed t
what pernicious lengths they wont ii
support of the southern states * Th
Snckvlllo Wests of that tlmo gloried ii
anticipation of the approaching disriq ;
tlon'of our great country. The loadini
journals , the great caricaturist Punch
the heavy scientific magazines , each Ii
its own way proclaimed that the star
had fallen from our banner , and tha
the stripes had boon'rent into strips
They wished it so. But it was not so.
At that tlmo , thouffh many an isolatoi
democrat doomed it necessary to sho\
his fealty to hia political faith by copperhead
porhead sympathy with traitors ii
arms , the heart of the northern domoe
racy was sound , and its patriotism wa
undoubted. It sh'ouo the brighter fron
contrast with its copp'orhoad surround
ings. Though the stump speakers o
political campaigns chose to idontif ;
northern democracy with secession'thi
charge was fustian tbo more outcora
of buncombe oratory. And now again I
happens that the southern democrat ;
has been resorting to foreign alliances
nnd ha.s reliecl upon foreign 'assistance
This time it la for the purpose ot elect
ng a candidate to the -American
presidency * -The ' northern democ
racy know it to bo untruo' as.
regarded themselves. , and therefore
repelled with honest indignation the
charge that Akg | campaign fought by
Cleveland's friends , was pro-British ,
and that the golden slneiws of war catno
! rom Britain. But It was so. Iw the
light of the Sackville West letter , who
can doubt that England is as anxious
lor Cleveland's re-election as. she waster
tor the triumph of the confederacy ?
She will again bo disappointed. The
policy of the Houth then as now id to in
augurate n system that will bo beneficial
to herself alone , and ruinous to the rest
of the country. And northern demo
crats of this great northwest cannot but
feel that this is so , nnd that they have
been betrayed by their southern
brothers.
The question at issue between
northern republicans and north
ern democrats is as regards the
length to which state rights and
federal centralization powers may re
spectively bo carried. It is n question
of theory , not n condition. But the
question of this campaign does not In
volve that theory for a cent's worth ,
but is uuroly one of control of the
country. If Cleveland could win , handi
capped as ho is , the south would rule
this land under the supervision of their
English friends. How such a state of
things would result to the producing
interests of the northwest may easily
bo conceived. The bitterest wish that
could bo uttered by the most frenzied
enemy of democracy would bo that they
might have their heart's desire ol
victory. _ _ _ _ _
British - American citizens
strongly denounce the action of the
president in dismissing Minister West
before receiving any communication
from the English government , and ac
cording to a prominent member of the
association they will very generally
vote against him. The number of such
citizens is stated to bo about ono hun
dred thousand , so that their hostility
will count for something. Whether ot
not it will tend to restrain the defection
of the Irish vote from the democracy is
problematic , but the probability is that
the West episode will cut both ways
against Mr. Cleveland , losing him the
votes of Irishmen and all other formoi
British subjects. The former un
derstand 4 , that the action o
the president was taken undoi
great pressure , and only after ii
was made known to him by the nationa
committee that such a course was imperative
perativo in order to retain any of the
Irish vote , and they will hardly appreciate <
ciato a concussion made under such cir
cumstances.The British-Ainoricat
citizens will resent what they rogart
as an unwarranted proceeding adopted
wholly for political effect and with nr
utter disregard of international comity. .
The situation would bo different hn ( ]
the president actgd at once as ho finally
did , but It was unquestionably the firsl
intention of thjjjadministrntion to take
no notice of tw matter. As it is no
body is Batisfleji 'and the dotnocraoi
will lose heavily from two classes o :
voters upon . \vhlfch the party hae
counted.
A DISPATCH from Fairmont , Nob. , ii
THE BKE of yesterday , noted a visit te
hat town of a delegation of the jobbing
merchants of St. , Joseph , Mo. , who wort
hospitably entertained. There is i
suggestion in this which ought to be
valuable to the merchants of Omaha. II
shows that the business men of St. Joseph
soph do not propose to surrender thi
trade of the Nebraska towns which thej
now possess without an olfort to hold it
nnd their effort appears to have semi
vigor. They hava already done wha
Omaha's jobbers have only thought o
doing , that is , making themselves per
sonally acquainted with the merchant !
of the interior , and cultivating social ai
well us business relations. The jobber :
of St. Joseph appear to appreciate thi
value of this sort of thing , for tho'ox
cursion noted is not the first of the kitu
they have made. The example scomi
to bo worthy of emulation.
THE people huvo not forgotten hov
Frank Morrissey opimsod the best in
tvrcsta of Omaha und obeyed thi
base dictation of monopolists. It wa
ho who fought the clause in the chartoi
to tax the real estate belonging' to an ;
railroad or telegraph company in tin
city of Omaha. "With the Union Pa
cific asking relief of congress , shal
Omaha belabor and mulct it ? " Thi
is the kind of talk Morrisboy indulgce
in when ho was writing editorials foi
the Omaha Herald. Do the working
men believe in sending Frank Morrisse ;
to the legislature , who so brazenly ad
vacated that they should boar the bur
eleiib and taxation of local government
und that rich corporations which got thi
benefits of police nnd fire protoctioi
should go scot frco from paying thoi ;
proportional share ?

A' correspondent of a ban Francisco Ipapoi
gives a sketch of tbe royal family of Corea
which ii extremely Interesting. Thp'VIng I
thirty-nine , thn queen forty , and the ' crowi
prince seventeen , and they are in 'tho znos
porfeot harmony with each otlior , and witl
Coroa. It secms'bdd ttrat tbby should bo th
most progressive people intbo kingdom , bu
the fact is solemnly stated , and when It Is con-
siderodtbat the elynnsty ot Yo , tba prqsent
ono , hat been in power f6r 403' years , tbo
tblng seem" still tuoro incredible. No coutj-
try'can bo happier than one wbero tbe ruler
It nbro st of the times and ahead of bis people
ple , anil , consequently , Uoroa is happy. Vho
nobles' regard their monarch with venera
tion , but the cqmmon people nltncst , worship
him. This is becausa they 590 him so sel
dom. When ho ii about to appear in the
streets of the capital , the city n awevpt clean ,
nnd fresh yellow satul spread over the chief
thoroughfares. All business is sutpciuloil ,
nnd the entire population turr.n 0111 , The
men line the streets and the women tbo Hat
house-tops. When the procession arrives , nil
the previous chattering and animation sub
sides , ntul n complete sllunco reigns until tbo
great litter bearing the king ami Ills son has
passed out of sight. On thcso rare oc
casions foreigners see something which be
longs to Japan , but bas completely parsed
away ; that Is , samurcl in the ancient armor
coutposod partly of uicUil plutes , partly of
lacquered paper. Their weapons , ulso , nro
the same , the katnnu or long sword meant to
bo wielded with both bands , und tbe short
sworil , which is about as long as a bowic
knife. Dcsidcs those swords many have
spears which , In reality , are not spears , but
nartizans like the oUn ngllub bill. Besides
tbo samurai there are modern equipped sol
diers suu armies of banners.
No ono who feels divine compassion in bis
soul for suffering can think of unhappy
Franco without a thrill of sympathy. Thq
country is so horribly burdened with debts
anil taxes that it , lias become necessary to
tax all foreigners living in tbo country. Tbo
wheat harvest has failed , and the people nro
clamoring for bread ; the wino harvest has
failed , nnd the exporting merchants of Bor
deaux , CottO and Marseilles have been
obliged to import wino from California for
home consumption. Owing to tbo hard times
there are absolute armies of men without
employment. And in the face of all these
things the war minister demanded * t83r > 00-
003. It is Ilka elrnwing the last drop of blood
from the veins of a dying man. Hut the n n-
tion insists upon the army being maintained
on a war footing1 , and revenge for Sedan is
the cry from one end of the country to the
othor. French Chauvinists are insulting
Italy at every opportunity , anil Germany
whenever it seems safe to do so. Recently
the escutcheon on the wall of tbo German
consulate at Havre was torn down secretly
and thrown into the gutter. The German
government noblv refused to take any notice
of the Incident. The world owes so much to
Franco in all the nits and sciences , In litera
ture , and In the knowledge of tbo details that
make dally life pleasant , that its dojadencc
must bo viewed with cjitrcmo sorrow. Would
that the nation could be persuaded to sheathe
the sword , and to inaugurate nn era of re
trenchment in every branch 1 Hut if it had
bcon possible it would huvo boon done. It
cannot be apparently , and wo must regard
Franco as dragged breathless , bleeding ,
wild-eyed by its inexorable destinies like
ancient Home.
Haytl and San Domltvgo stro two names for
the same island , but are used colloquially to
designate the Haytien republic of French
negroes on the west and the Dominican re
public of Spanish negroes on the oast. Men
regard these two places through a halo of
romance , but those wtio have visited them
are not so enthusiastic. Each republic re
minds ono irresistibly of a hermit crab that
bas taken up Its quarters in the empty shol !
of some glgantiu ammonite. Tbo colored
men are simply squatting in the palaces
reared by the millionaire planters of sugar
cane and coffee trees a hundred years ago.
They still make some sugar , but almost all
the Hyrup is converted Into rum. They still
export some coffee , but tboy have planted ue

because the canes go on reproducing themselves -

might have redeemed itself if tbo recently
deposed president , Louis Etlonne Fcllclto
Salomon , had lived. He was nn Iron discipli
narian. Ho throw BOUIC of bis opponents Into
dungeons nnd ho marched others Into public
squares anil shot them. The ono thought
that possessed his whole soul was to lift up
his country and make Huytl prosperous and
peaceful. Ho knew that outside of a re
stricted circle near Portnu Prince Hayti
was slipping back into African savagery. He
know that cannibalism und tbo fearful rites
of Knbirlo worship were being practised In
the secluded haunts of tbo interior , nnd bei
felt that in dealing with such circumstances
and such a people the only methods available
wore those of n savage. Yet ho was person
ally of a gentle disposition , loving refinement
and culture for their own sake. Had bo suc
ceeded in arresting the constant whirling ot
factions at the capital bo perhaps would have
succeeded in the dreams he nourished. liut
It was his futo to be an Augustus Cusar in

Could ho huvo found n lieutenant of such n

Slavery has been abolisbod everywhere In
Europe and America , save in the Spanish
islands of the gulf , and as the importation ol
fresh slaves Into Cuba and Porto KIco is now
n thing of tbo past , its total extinction is
only a matter of ten years. The problem
that now confronts humanity is tbo slave
trade in central Africa , and it is conceded
tlmttlio , efforts made to stop It have not only
been unsuccessful , but have resulted disas
trously for civilization. It is impossible nol
to regard the appearance of an Arab re
ligious enthusiast in the Soudan as a contri
vance of the Arab slave traders for combat
ting the obvious designs of Europeans ir
central Africa by arousing the fanaticism ol
the Islamite. Tbo fact that complete suc
cess attended the apparition of the malidi
nettles all attempts to abolish the slave trade
throueh commercial settlement or mission
ary eilort. Cardinal Lavigcrlo proposes the
arbitrament of the sword. "Ucgin , " he
cries , "a now crusade and roll back tbo tide
of Arab raiding and wrong-doing by force
and clash of arms. " Hum ! What were the
precise results of the old crusade I Wells
Christianity achieved nothing , by force of
arms , but the Christian nations of the west
became civilized by contact with the Saracen ,
and Tartars of the cast. If thctc should be
a now crusade It xvould end in the Arabs and
Soudanese acquiring the arts and civilization
of European nations , und that would bo nil.
It must not bo forgotten that the Arab bas
bohtnd him in Africa the fighting negro , who
Is certainly not of the same race as the pa-
citlo negro. The slaves come entirely from
the lattcr.and nro captured by tbe former , who
sell them to the Arab merchants. Uciween
those warlike negroes anil the Arabs there
is much sympathy , nnd as Islamism is very
attractive to the sons of the great superb , as
they designate themselves , unless something
unforsccn happens , all the lighting blacks
will in b short time become Islamites. It is
upon the cards that the king of Abyssinia or
Negus will cither return to negro Kabirism
or will embrace Islamism. The revival of
the title Negus , which means tbo superb ,
and Is ovtiivalcnt to the Tartar word Khan ,
shows that at present Abyssinia is drifting
into Kabirism.

To imagine that the demand for autonomy

the Slovenes nnd Slovacks nnd Rutheninni

is absolutely erroneous. The initlativi
comes from the German element , which sees
In such a policy the best way of combatting

ideas of the Slavonic race , nnd therefore 1

ncy. Neither of thcso nations would bi
pleased with a republic , neither of then
would permit the rule of ono of their own race
The tremendous struggles of Moravia am
Bohemia ngainst the Hnpsburg in the middle
ages was not caused by dissatisfaction with
the imperial house , but by the absurd uttcmp
of the Austrian chancellors to denationalize
them. Since the defeat of Stulowa , Austrit
has studied with great care the
idiosyncrasies of her Slavonic citizens , ant
has recognized nt lust the leadlnp
facts. The Hnpburgs have therefore care
fully elaborated n system of governmonl
which conforms itself with perfect sympathy
to tbo peculiarities of thoSlnvons. This pol
icy has for Its fundamental idea tbo creation
of a Polono Bohemian and Moravian kingdom
of which tbo kntsar will be king , ns ho is
king of Hungary. This will net ns n counter
poise to the the over-weening Magyar major
ity In national diet. Besides those twc
autonomies , Hungary , and the Slavonic one
now contemplated , there will bo others
formed by the southern Slovacks In the Her
