Italian hand that gave the

tuted Inskeep , a Seventh ward striker ,
for John Butler as Borgoant-at-arms of

The principal stock-in-trade of the
prohibition agitators and organ grinders
is the alleged nefarious plotting nnd
pernicious activity of the whisky trust in
Nebraska. Even Governor Thayor'o ro-
I'ocation is represented as an abject sur-
: -ondor and sell-out to the whisky trust.
Now wo boldly assort that the whisky
: rust has had no moro to do with the
prohibition campaign in Nebraska or
iVith the governor's course than the
iwino trust , the iron bourn trust
> r the sugar trust. All the
, alk about the activity of the
whisky trust is the invention of
norconaries who are laying awake
lights expecting a bid from ono side or
, ho other. Peter Her , the Nebraska
shiof of the whisky trust is in Culifor-
lia building stock yards and packing
louses near San Francisco and will not
oturn to Nebraska until the latter part
if October , if then. Cyrus C. Turner ,
ho of the dealers'
secretary Liquor na-
ional protective association , is in Lou-
svillo or somewhere In the south or
ast. If anybody else in Nebraska is
. ( . ting for Her or Tumor they have not
icon hoard from up to date.
The only parties who have shown any
ispositlon to antagonize prohibition are
ho bankers and merchants of the prin-
ipal cities and towns who desire to pro-
out commercial stagnation and a land
lido in property values. Their right to
rganl/.o In defense of tholr property in-
urcsts and business can hardly bocallod
11 question.
But the prohibition campaigners will
ontinuo to stigmat'izo thorn and every-
ody whoopposod prohibition as "friends
f the saloon , " "rum boodlors , " and
whisky bloats. " It is the prerogative
f those latter day saints to send ovory-
ody to perdition who doos. not swallow
noir nostrum and claim for themselves
ho monopoly of all the virtues.

Congressman McKinley does not bo-
eve It to bo by any moans a sure thing
tat a silver bill will bo passed at the
resent session of congress , though ho
links there ought to bo legislation on
10 subject because there Is a general do-
ituul for It. Tlioro have baen recently
( pressed opinions to llko effect' from
, her members of congress , and the.
Dwmvnrd course of the silver
larkot within , the past week
is been construed as indl-
iting that the operators in silver had
scomo convinced that the chances are
jatnst any legislation. The subject
mlinuos to bo discussed In the senate
id the house will enter upon Its oonsld-
atlon probably during the present
ook , but the conflicting views in both
ouses are no nearer to being reconciled
mn over , and j seems obvious from
hat Is said by members of congress that
10 chances of reaching an agreement or
footing a compromise have not 1m-
roved.
If there Is a failureof silver legisla-
Dn the responsibility for It will bo on
, o advocates of free coinage , who in
sist upon n policy which the conserva
tlvo judgment of the country dlsap
proves. Thoi-o would not In the slight
cst difficulty In nuourlng loglilatloi
which would provide- for the employ
mout as a currency basis of the entlr
silver product of the country , and whlel
might lead ultimately to free coinage , 1
experience demonstrated that that pollc
could bo safely adopted. The country
is prepared to accept a note currenc ;
based on silver bullion to the fill
amount of the silver product of tin
United States , as is practically provide )
for in the bill to be considered in UK
house , but all who take an unselfish am
unprejudiced view of the question are coil
vinccd that free colnago is , at this time
inexpedient , would bo dangerous to oui
financial system , and would inevit
ably bring disaster to all Interests
Tlio carefully prepared and olabor
nto arguments of the advocate :
in the senate of unlimited colnago havt
not only failed to remove this conviction
but rather have strengthened it , becausi
they have boon unable to show that
there is the least necessity for tholr
policy , or that it would bo any moro effective
fectivo in improving the position o
silver as a money metal than would its
employment as bullion as the basis
of n paper currency under tin
liberal conditions that have boon
proposed.In the ono case
wo should invite the world to unloa'd its
surplus sliver upon us , which it would
assuredly make haste to do , while in the
other wo should simply utilize our own
product , avoiding the danger of having
any of our gold withdrawn in payment
for foreign silver and giving the country
a safe and acceptable currency for all do
mestic purposes.
The bill agreed on by the confer
ence committee of the two houses ,
and upon which the house will
bo asked to take action , gees a *
far as it is prudent to go at this time in
dealing with this quostionr It provides
for using about the entire silver product
of the United States as the basis of a
note currency. It would afford ample
protection to the silver interest of the
country arid would increase the currency
annually to the amount of at least thirty
million dollars. It would ofTect a grad"-
ual nnd healthy advance in the
market vnluo of silver , ultimately ,
there is every reason to believe ,
carrying it to n parity with gold , with
out seriously disturbing the financial sys
tem. In short , it would secure all the
benefits and advantages which it is possi
ble to predicate of free coinage without
tne dangers and disturbances inevitable
to that policy. It is desirable that the
country shall have legislation that will
enlarge the use of silver as a basis of cur
rency , but the failure of such legislation
would bo less unfortunate than to adopt
free coinage.
FltOQllKSS OJV TUB TARIFF
Prom such information as the Wash
ington correspondents are able to obtain
regarding the progress the senate com
mittee is making with the tariff bill ,
there appears good reason to expect that
the measure will bo ready for submis
sion to the senate not later than the end
of the present mouth. With regard to
what is being douo in the matter of
changes in the house bill not much can
bo learned , the members of the committee
being naturally nnd properly reticent
on the subject. The room in which the
commit too works is not only locked , but
guarded , and the secrecy of the pro
ceedings would seem to bo carefully
maintained by the members of the com
mittee when not on duty. Statements
in a general way indicate that a good
many changes have been made in the
line of lower duties than these
proposed in the house bill , but to
what extent thcso ombraeo ar
ticles upon which lower duties would beef
of substantial benefit to the people is not
known. Reductions in the chemical and
metal schedules are desirable , but the
senate will need to carry its downward
revision much farther than this to sat
isfy the demands of the country for re
lief from tariff taxation.
It is reported that the senators from
the tariff reform states of the northwest ,
whllo professing to favor lower du
ties , are giving very little en
couragement to Senators Allison
nnd Aldrich , the republican members of
the finance committee who are under
stood to bo making the fight for a reduc
tion of duties. Tlioso senators are said
to bo unfavorable to any increase in the
wool duties over the existing law , or
liny Increase in the duties on woolen
"foods except whore it may bo necessary
to equalize conditions , but although
they unquestionably in this view ropro-
iont the great majority of the
iooplo of the west and north-
, vest , the other senators from these sec-
ions are said to give them little sup
port. Special interests which tire seok-
ng to draw -increased tribute from
, ho people nro represented in the senate
is well as in the house , and it is to bo
ipprohcnded that combinations may bo
undo in the former which will prevent
inch a reform In the tariff as the pro-
lomlnant sentiment of the country calls
or.
or.It
It is not necessary , however , to nban-
lon the hope that the moro conservative
ind unselfish among the ropubll-
ans of the senate will bo able
o carry through that body a. tariff bill
natorially different from the measure
IQW under consideration. It is still to
10 believed that there is on the ropub-
Ican side of the senate sulnclont honest
tatosmanship and sincere regard for the
ilcdgcs of the party not to allow BO oh-
uctlonablo and indefensible a measure
s the MoKinloy bill to bo Inflicted up-
u the country. It must bo that there
ro republican senators who under-
land that no greater burden
ould bo placed upon the party
: i the congressional campaigns of this
car than to have to defend the tariff
ill passed by the houso. Ono of these
jnators Is quoted as saying : "Wo prom-
sod to reduce taxation , not to increase
; . Wo must fulfill our pledges or lese
lie next elections. " The welfare of the
opubltciui party and the highest Intor-
sts of the people require the reduction
f tariff taxation. It Is possible for the
jnato to subsorvo both , and It is still to
o hoped it will uot fall to do so.

Stmix city Journal.
r Tlio people of Nebraska are to bo congratu
Intcd upon their escape from an extra session
at this junction. It ought never to have boor
culled. Thcro was no popular demand for it
nnd nothing sugHostlvo of a popular demand
In thu political situation in Nebraska an extra
session could not , In the very nature of things ,
settle the nuoitioas whloh nro up before the
people , but on the contrary could only tend tc
con f use nnd postpone a settlement ,
Thcro is profound popular dissatisfaction
In Nebraska with the manner in which the
government of the state has been controlled ,
especially with reference to transportation
corporations. The republican party is re
sponsible both for tuo legislation of the state
and for the adminlstt ntion of tlio laws , nnd
the fooling is entertained by thousands of re
publicans in Nebraska that tlio organization
of tlic party lias baen manipulated and steered
out of direct and syjnpituotic service to their
interests , the interests of the great mass of
the community and of the public generally.
The farmers especially had therefore made
uncompromising demand that the organiza
tion of the party this year , and the adminis
tration of the state government should un
equivocally bo brought to the service of the
people and that the railroad , question should
bo settled on this basis. And this demand
had brought on an issue , involving the time
of holding the convention , the declaration of
the platform and tlio characters of tuo candi
dates.
It was n foolish thing to sxipposo that n call
for an extra session of the old legislature
could allay such revolt within the party , to
say nothing of the popular agitation , or that
it could take out of the impending political
campaign the resolute purpose of the people.
Nothing loss than the accomplishment of that
purpose , by agents Immcdlntcly chosen by
tlio people with a view to present conditions ,
could be of any avail ; and for such n purpose
a legislature elected last year , under differ
ent conditions , and. whoso sands are running
low , was obviously incompetent. It was in
competent , in fact , nnd under the circumstan
ces of popular distrust it was impotent in any
event.
But so fur as the republican pirty is con
cerned the revocation of the extra session
defines its opportunity. Its opportunity is
merely to meet , honestly nnd promptly , the
popular need of a political party in Nebraska.
That need is for a party which in its organi
sation , in its purpose anil in its control is do-
roted to the interests of the public , and not to
Lhoso of the railroad corporations or any
ithcr concern. Whit the republican party of
Nebraska in the present exigency must do
ibovo all things is to demonstrate its rcspon-
livcncss to the popular demand , to reassure
.ho masses of the party by the ring of the
ilatform nnd by the character of the candi
dates nominated.
And to this end the very best tiling that the
> arty can do , now that the call for an extra
icssion is out of tlio way , is to call an early
son ventlon. Meet the situation boldly ; moot
t promptly ; meet it candidly anil honestly
mil fully. A call foriin early convention now
vill bo the sign that the party is ready to meet
Lbo people.

"Wo have all the pictures wo need , " said
another.
Ono declared , "Wo don't need any censes , "
and the enumerator yielded to the Impulse
and said : "I sco you don't use any. " But the
force of the sarcasm was lost.
It was almost invariably wash day and in
every instance the only Head of the family
present was the divinity presiding over tlio
kitchen or toying with tbu soap suds , and the
oliumerator was generally given the polite
hint : "I am too busy to waste any time with
you. "
Once inside the house n myriad of dilllcul-
tics arose. A number believed that the
enumerator wns n detective assessor attempt-
lug to ascertain whether their property was
sulllcicntly taxed , and their answers were
tinged with feeling all the way from fright to
indignation.
At the suggestion of your correspondent
thu enumerator asked ono mora in addition to
the thirty on tlio list , nnd that was :
"Do vou take a newspaper regularly ? "
It was a noticeable fact that-the homes
whore the answers were in the nftlrmatlvo to
this question wore the only places where the
enumerator was treated with common do-
ccncv.
"What makes you so inquisitive ! " said one
woman.
"Shurc nn' Oi belavo j'cr a noosj a.iper re
porter , " said a pugilistic looking Amazon of
Gaelic ancestry. "Oi don't want unnie uoty-
ryty au' yo'd betther bo careful bow yo trato
me. "
One female of mammoth proportions and
whoso breath was perfumed with the nectar
of onions and limDurgor answered every ques
tion with :
"Ask Feclup. mcin man. "
No other reply could bo secured , from her ,
and she gave the address of the saloon in
which "Feelup" was engaged in the intellec
tual labor of ( tiling schooners of beer.
Some difficulties were experienced ns to
ago , particularly with persons of the feminine -
nine gender. But this question was a charmed
ono compared to the interrogations concern
ing acute or chronic diseases nnd these in re
gard to defects in mind , sight , ) iearingspeech
or body. Not a single person had oven a
blood disease , and out of curiosity your coi
respondent naked the enumerators of th
city concerning the replies of these questions
Not a single person had been found who wa
in any way alVcctcd with any chronic discus
or iu any way deformed , and in nearly ever ,
instance tlio enumerator admitted that u
stopped asking these questions.
Statistics la these respects promise to bo o
little value , and if the sumo course is utiis'ei
sally pursued by thu enumerators the resul
will prove u nation devoid of mental or pliys
leal defect.
Some pel-sons expressed surprise that sucl
questions were on tlio list , saying that tin
enumerators had not oven read them whci
the call was made at their home , and if thli
course is pursued Nebraska will have tin
record of having but ono person in the stat <
having any chronics disease , nnd that catarrh
reported voluntarily by your correspondent
who had read the list of iuterrogntories be
forehand.
Few states will bo nhlo to show such a rco
ord unless tlio sumo coin-so is pursued in omit
ting quostious Unit require an ufllrmutlvo an

of John Kiuion , n saloonkeeper who is suing
the city for $17 for whisky and other liquors
too freely watered to suit John's customers.
