If congress fulls into waynof oxlrava-
gnnco It will not bo for tlio rcnwri tluit
it liiist not boon nnlply warned not to do
so. Republican nowsptipord hnvo boon
frank In pointing out the danger that
was threatening in this direction , and
last ffook Semttor Ilawloy , in the course
of his remarks in opposition tothoHluir
bill , inado a strong point against tiiut
inousuro by showing the tendency
of the present congress to extrava
gance nnd the necessity of
calling a halt. Ho pointed out that
while the estimated revenues of the
government for the next tlscnl year will
bo four hundred inUlioi dollnm , the
nccossury and proposotl appropriutlons
inalco itn figgrcgato of over llvo hundred -
drod and twontv million dollari , or an
excess of npproprintlons over revenues
of nioro th.ui seventy inllllon dollars.
It is manifestly idle to talk about
reducing taxes and removing du
ties if such a policy of extrava
gance as is contemplated in the numer
ous ways for spending money tlmt have
boon suggested is curried out.
Tlio most urgent dnnmild of the people
ple now is for relief , as far us it is pruc-
ticuhlo to give It , from the burden im
posed by the large revenues which the
government already requires. There
nro undoubtedly a number of things
which it is desirable the govern
ment Hhould do in the line
of public improvements , nnd some
of which may bo done with
out adding to the demands upon the ro-
sourecsof the people , but it Is pecc.-sary
that all expenditures not absolutely es
sential shall bo deferred until a time
when the public prosporitv will warrant
mnking them. At a period of general
depression it is not good policy to vote
inonov out of the treasury for anything
that can safely wait , and if the party in
control of the government does this it
must expect to suffer when the people
again have an opportunity to pass
judgment on its conduct. It is per
fectly clear that the safe course for the
republican majority in congress is to do
all that is practicable to lighten the
weight that is now bearing heavily
upon the whole poop'.o , and especially
upon the agricultural population , it
should sot its face lirmly against every
proposal of unnecessary expenditure ,
witli whatever plausibility presented ,
and give its attention to providing
measures that will give relief to the people
ple and help to restore prosperity
in all departments of activity. There
should bo no politics nor party in this
question of doing something that will
remove the business depression , put
now life and energy into the industries
of the country , nnd enable the people to
"pay without a sense of hardship tlio
government'- ! demands upon them. It
is a matter of statesmanship , applying
in equal degree to mqn of all parties ,
with which partisan politics has noth
ing whatever to do , yet from the point
of view of partv interest it is obviously
the wise thing for the party in power
to do.
There is rei'.son to believe that the
republican loaders in congress see the
duty of the party in this direction , and
that they will not allow its chances two
years liouco to bo jeopardised by the
adoption of a policy ot extravagance
which the people would bo very sure to
condemn. The party can make no mis
take on the sulo of a judicious economy ,
accompanied by a poliev that will give
relief to the people. All the danger to
it lies in ttio opposite course.
ouii MIAT ixronr&
\Vashinglonad\ice3 report that the
state department still lias in mind the
icmovalof the severe restrictions im
posed on American exports of cattle
and hog products to European coun
tries. The olTort to have the restric
tions which Icoop our hog products out
ot Germany and Franco , and practically
exclude our live cattle from England ,
reconsidered , was begun under the ad
ministration of President Arthur , and
had the cordial support of Mr.
IMaino when ho was secretary of
btalo in the Ciarliold adminis
tration. Very boon aflor he entered
tlio present administration the subject
was , revived , and our ministers to Eng
land , Germany and France wore in
structed to lay the matter before the
governments to which they are ac
credited nnd nrosd it upon their atten
tion.
Nothing , however , hub yet been ac
complished , so far as known , toward the
removal of tlio restrictions , nor is
there any information indieiuing a uis-
position on the part of the
foreign governments to remove
or oven modify thorn. In . a
communication on tlio .subject ;
recently sent to the secretary of btato
by iho secretary of agriculture ho do-
olares the restrictions to bo to the * great
detriment and in some cases to the do-
blruction of the trade in live animals
mid moat products from the United
States , and requests the set1 rotary of
state to take such action n& may ho pos
sible looking to the removal of the
restrictions or their modification in
favor of American producers. Secre
tary Uuhk points out that plourtrpnou-
monla , on account of which
the orders of the English gov
ernment regarding American
caUle wore issued , is now nearly eradi
cated , and suggests that the depart
ment of btato make arrangements with
the English government by which one
or more veterinary inspectors of the
agricultural department may bo bta-
tionod at the English wharves , where
they could discover disouso and report
upon it. The matter is to be further
nrossed upon the attention of the , for
eign governments , and there is rea
son to hellovo that in Germany
ul least a nuulillcallon of the
restrictions may bo secured , since
there is a htrnng popular sentiment in
that country ho-ttllo to the exclusion of
American moats , the olVeet of which
has neon to materially enhance the price
of meat in that country.
It has boQii"btatcd that the foreign
roslrlcttuiiH upon our moats make a dif
ference ( u the value of our moat exports
of llfty million dollars a year , yet cud-
oiibly enough when it was pro'pobcd in
the bonato to provide a system of gov
ernment inspection that would remove
all osouse for the foreign restrictions ,
the proposition was most vigorously
uiitngouuoil by mout packer * .
who declared that the export trade was
entirely satisfactory , and that'lho pro
posed law would do great harm rather
than good. In view of this attitude of
thu packers it is probable that congress
will not enact any legislation on ttio
Biibjoct , nnd as It is reasonably curtain
that the foreign governments will not
remove the restrictions in the absence
of a system of government inspection
there in not much to hope for from the
elTorts of the stale department.
TO n
The verdict of the coroner's jury in
the case ot Carl Loenhelscn Is a double-
jointed conclusion. The jury declares
that nobody is blamable , and that
"criminal negligence' ' docs not attach
to any particular parson. Yet in the
name breath tlio jury censures the com
pany for not providing gales on the In
side of platforms , and says that "more
care should bo exorcised by the com
pany mid its employes by hav
ing trains under control when meet
ing and especially at street interscc-
titins. " In other words , the jury says to
the company , "We'll forgive you this
lime , but don't do It again. " If no per
son was guilty of criminal negligence
why was it necessary for the jury to
censure the company and demand
greater care in the handlinir of trains ?
If the train crews exercised HUllicient
care to relieve them of responsibility ,
how can the jury justify itself in de
manding greater caroV
The trulh is that the running of mo
tor trains , especially on the Mcrcor
line is notoriously reckless. There is no
excuse or justification for the
speed maintained on the crowded
thoroughfares , and measures should bo
promptly taken to bring the motor races
to an end. Had ordinary care been ex
ercised by the crew of the unfortu
nate train , Saturday's tragedy would
have been averted. The train from
which the victim alighted had stopped
at the crossing , but before ho could rc-
alixc his peril the opposite train , run
ning at a speed of from six to eight
miles an hour , struck him' down and
dragged the body thirty or forty feet.
And yet the coroner's jury finds nobody
to blame !
It is time for the city authorities to
put on tlio brakes. Tin : lni ! : has re
peatedly called attention to the lack of
proper safeguards on the Mercer line
trains , and if tiie company cannot real
ize the importance of protecting their
patrons , measures should bo adopted to
force this necessiry reform. An ordi
nance should be passed requiring trains
to como to a full stop at crossings where
tlie opposite train is receiving or dis
charging nassougers. The safety of the
people demands that every means bo em
ployed to prevent a recurrence of the
Jackson street fatality.
Ls corn still kingV In the light of
the corn burning in the west , the mill
ions of bushels lining the railroads and
the great depression prevailing in the
region devoted to the growth of the
cereal , it is clear that its reign has not
been a prosperous one. Since corn sup
planted cotton twenty years ago as the
most valuable of agrieultuial products ,
no one hassoriously disputed its right to
the throne. Hut the enormous "crop of
last year , low market prices nnd exces
sive transportation tolls practically ro-
vorao the position of the .two great
crops and place cotton in the lead. The
inquiries of the CiMit-Dcmocntl among
congressmen representing 'Iho cotton
states show that while some sections
are sulToring from depression , the
causes are mainly local debts , bad
management and an "infamous credit
system. " As a wliolo tho'cotton plant
ers nro far bettor elY than the corn
growers. An average crop nets from
twenty-five to fifty dollars an acre. In
the four leading corn atalea the price
per bushel on tlio curs r.inges from fif
teen to twenty-three cents , or an aver
age of nineteen cents par bushel. Es
timating the general average tit fifty
bushel : ; to the acre a 'liberal figure
corn growers would roali/.o nine and a
half dollars from each aero. These
facts clearly show that cotton is enti
tled to precedence over corn as a profit
able crop , and that the cotton planters
of the soi'th are in a much bettor posi
tion than the corn growers of the west.
Tin : disastrous lire in Kearney wil !
cause general regret throughout the.
state. The push and pluck of the noo-
plo in utilizing all the surrounding re
sources and making tlio town a model
of industrial activity have boon the
o'ivy and admiration of those who have
watched its growth. A people who have
done so much fur the western section
of the state , who have set an example
of generosity , enterprise and unbounded
confidence in the future of town
and country , cannot bo chocked
by fire or flood. The olToct will bo
temporary. Hut the lesson of the dis
aster should spur the authorities to
provide a sjstem of fire lighting appa
ratus in keeping with the progress of
, the city. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tin : imnemont to redone I'rospcet
Hill cemetery from neglect and decay
has reached encouraging proportions.
1'rolitninarics have been arranged for
a permanent organi/ation , and a final
meeting for that purpose will bo hold
this atternoon at the Young Men's
C'hrlstlan association. The object of
the association is to preserve and per
petuate the original dedication of thu
grounds and to provide means to care
fur and maintain them. Hallowed as
the rusting ilaco ) of thousands who in
life contributed to the well-being of the
city , its preservation appeals to the pub
lic at large as well as to the surviving
friends of the dead.
Tin : mutterings heard from Wash
ington cannot be mistaken. A revolt
is prevailing among republican mem
bers of both houses who will nojongor
bow down to the golden calf of high
duties. The distress of the agricul
tural , mining and manufacturing in
dustries is too wide spread longer to be
disguised. The policy of maintaining a

Dakota ntato bonds drawing interest at

The depression caused by drought in

is every reason to bollovo that private
capital will bo encouraged to develop

will not be abletoexlract
much satisfaction from the decision just
rendered by the supreme court of the
United States in the famous granger
cases of Minnesota. While it is true
the learned justices reversed Iho decis
ion of the Minnesota tribunal , they only
alllrmed to the railroads the rightof ap
peal to the courts from rates TixedJ by
the stale railroad commissioners when
such rates are claimed to bo unjust and
unrcusoii'ible.
IN the eyes of the law Jake Ivilrain is

the enforcement of law is made a legal

farce.

It is twenty -three years since Nebraska
became n state. Many residents of I'latlo
county rumcmber the tiino very distinctly ,
and can ousily eill to mind tlie thrill of pride
they experienced over the glau event. I3ut
in all tiie years that have clnpso : ! since the
boundaries of this county vere established
by law not a man within her borders has
ever held a state ofllco , The time has como
lor IMtttte county to claim what Is hois by
right representation in the -311110 house ,
nnd she has a man to offer next fall as a can
didate for state auditor , lie is one of the
early settlers of Nebraska , and is serving
his soi-ond term as treasurer of I Matte
county , a position to which ho was
though u republican and the county thor
oughly democratic elected by an over
whelming mujoriiy. Wo ulludgo to Gus G.
Hechor , a man whose name Is a synonym
lor integrity , mm who Is not afraid to do
right. Thu position of state auditor makes
the occupant ol the ofllco u inomuer of tlio
state board of transportation an Important
position of trust and responsibility which is
nt present occupied by ouo Thomas II. Hen-
ton , who seems afraid to acknowledge that
his soul Is his own. It is nafo to predict that
the next republican state convention will
contain n delegation from Pintle county solid
for Gus Hcchor for state auditor.

Whj , Just looit ut jt. There will bo no less
than four tickets in the Hold the demo
cratic , republican , Formers' alliance
nml prohibition , unit in my indi
vidual opinion the Farmers' alliance and
prohibition will draw much inoro strongly
from the republican party than they will
from the democratic. My opinion is prcdi
entail by demonstration m the past state is
sues. The democratic pai ty has stood al
most a unit against long udds , and I can con
ceive of no good reason why it would cl.ungu
from that position now , There is no douut
that tliuro have been n poTl many conversions
throuchont the state , n great iiianv on ac
count of the severe times and others by rea
son of the tariff reform measures. The most
of these nro undoubtedly from the repub
lican party , unit iiiunv moro will fol
low before the ne\t state election. I think
tliu tariff reform uml anti-prohibition fool-
uiss which the democratic party maintain
will bo the cause of their polling u bigger
vote next full than over before in the his
lory of the state. Hundreds of rouublieins
wouUl sooner son a democratic governor for
Nebraska than to see the state handed over
to the prohibitionists. There has been a
fcohng prevalent that u portion of the
democracy of Nebraska would vote with the
prohibitionists for no other loason than to
punish curtain republicans , but I think before -
fore election day they will nil ha\o
se'en the fallacy of Kiich fiction and
abandon It for the good of the state and their
party. Tariff reform ami prohibition , how
ever , uro Incontrovertibly tlio main Issues of
the dawning campaign. Just now I can ro-
ciill u dozen or so of republic.au converts to
democracy on account of n mixture of tho-.ii
issues , and pronouncou republicans uttlut ,
men who have bworn their alloyiuniio for
the past twenty yoara. If it hadn't boon for
ilftv-nlno republicans ami ono prohibitory
democrat in the lust legislature the great
tnnsH of Nebraska's population wouldn't now
bo trembling In tlioir boats , apprehensive
of the unmitigated disaster prohibi
tlon would visit upon our fair young Htato.
Times now would bo flouiishlngund prosper

ol the solidncss of their interests. Thc.ru is
no doubt thut that vote manifested the In
clinations und thu sentiment of the repub
lican party nt that time , but siuco then 1 urn
convinced there have been many and wonder
fill changes. I , as u ctt'zon. ' regardless of

Nebraska Is a great state , teeming with
