/Ifc'I'l'/JMCM.Y ' TICKKT.
The republican party enters tlio aimt
palgn in Nebraska this year with n
ticket that will In the main command
the hearty support of the parly. The
obstinate nnd short-sighted rufusal of
republican alliance farmers to take an
active interest In the primary elections
and conventions rendered it next to im
possible to eliminate the railroad ele
ment nnd present a ticket free from cor
porate inllucnco from top to bottom , and
In every respect equal to the demands of
the hour. '
Hut while the party could and should
have done better In its choice of some o (
the candidates , It might have done very
much worse. Tlio man whom the rail
roads were most anxious to put at the
head of the ticket was defeated , and
several obnoxious candidates have been
summarily rejected ,
MiL. . D : lUchards , the nominee
for governor , Is a man of high
standing , and first class executive
ability. Ills colleagues on the ticket
are all known to uosscss the requisite
qualillcatlonH for the performance of the
duties thaf will devolve upon thorn.
It now remains for the party to organ
ize , make a careful survey of tlio field
and prepare for a struggle that will tax
the best energies of Its leaders and re
quire the loyal support of the rank and
illo to load it to victory in November.
The platform adopted by the republi
can state convention is a clear and un
equivocal enunciation of sound princi
ples. Tlio declaration in favor of a re
vision of the election laws that will so-
euro to every voter the greatest possible
secrecy in the casting of his ballot , and
the application of tlio Australian ballot
system in all incorporated towns
and cities both to .primary
and regular elections will bo approved
by all citizens who believe that an untrammeled -
trammeled ballot is essential to the pre
servation of free institutions. The ex
perience of Nebraska fully justifies the
demand for such a revision of llio elec
tion laws as will surround the voter with
the greatest possible safeguards against
corrupting or intimidating influences ,
and in order that such security shall bo
complete it is quite as necessary that it
shall bo provided at tlio primary as at
ho general elections. It is at the former
; hat the seeds of impurity and dis
honesty in elections are sown ,
and reform to bo thorough and effective
must begin with the iirimarics.
Tlio demand for n reduction of freight
ind passenger rates by tlio railroads of
the state is warranted by every consid
eration of justice to the people and re
gard for the material interests ol Ne
braska , and insistence upon it is one of
the llrst duties which the republican
party of tlio state owes to the people.
The enjoyment of lower rates by con
tiguous states having no bettor claim
to bo thus favored than Nebraska , and
the fact that the interstate com
merce commission have declared that
existing rates upon the products of this
state shrpped to the east are excessive ,
deprive the railroads of every reasona
ble excuse for maintaining the present
exaction , and impose upon these in au
thority the Imperative duty of taking
stops for its removal. Equally to be
commended are the declarations of the
platform in favor of legislation delhiing
the duty of corporations'to employes ,
prohibiting the illegitimate increase of
stock or capital by railroad com
panies , and requiring that the
property of corporations shall bo
taxed the same as that of individuals.
The last proposed reform would greatly
Increase the revenue of the state while
relieving private property of what is In
part , under present conditions , nu un
just burden.
The farmers of Nebraska have in no
respect suft'owd more severely than from
the exactions ) of usurious money lenders ,
and thousands of them are now in tne re
lentless grasp of these greedy and un
scrupulous Shyloeks. They ask relief
in the enactment of more stringent
usury laws , and this the , repub
lican party pledges itself to give
the in. It is also committed in
favor of requiring owners of the public
elevators and all railroad companies to
receive and handle grain for all persons
alike , \vithout \ discrimination , the
charges for storage and inspection to bo
regulated by the state. Tlio friendly
concern of the republican party for the
interests of labor linds expression in the
declarations recognising the right of
labor to orgnniy.o for its protection nnd
favoiTng such a modification of the
statutes and the enactment of such laws
as will prevent interference with the
speedy collection of the wages of labor.
"With regard to general ques
tions , the convention would , in our judg
ment , have bolter represented the domi
nant sentiment among the republicans of
Nebraska by a more spoelllo declaration
regarding the tariff. It is of vital im
portance at this juncture that congress
should bo clearly advUod as to the
wishes of the farmers respecting the
tarilf , and wo are entirely confident that
the republican conventlqn would have
correctly stated the desire of a very
largo majority of the farmers of Ne
braska if it had intido an unqualified
demand for free sugar , lumber , wool ,
woolen goods , salt- coal and Iron , with
perhaps other goods in common uso.
The practically non-committal tiirliT
plank of the platform furnishes no guldo
to the prevailing sentiment of a ma-
j ority of Nebraska farmers , and will
consequently have no Inlluonco nt Wash
ington , without whluh nil reference to
the subject might as well have been
omitted. The utterances regarding-
silver , in opposition to land monopoly ,
in favor of the establishment of a system
of postal telegraphy , and denouncing
trusts , are all commendable. As
to pensions , Tin : Bii : : thinks the
nation has dealt most generously with
the old soldiers , nnd It doubts the wisdom
In the interest of the veterans them-
Hclves , of making further demands whlcti
If compiled with would add largely to
the now heavy pension obligations of the
government , but In urging which there
is danger ot creating un adverse facntl-
mont that might ultimately bo disas
trous to the whole pension system.
With the exceptions noted , the plat
form of the Nebraska republicans is a
sound and Bafo declaration of principles
meriting the support of the people.
"Vici : PimsiunxT HOI..COMM objects to
"attacks on the Union depot , " and ns-
scrla thnt the structure will Do "tho
finest in the land. " Tiis will do to toll
the marines. Porlmpj Mr. Ilolcomb Is
not aware of'the ' fact that the Union Pa
cific company is , preparing to erect a depot -
pot building in Portland. If eo , it is
strange that the company's architect
should bo in Portland with plans for a
building , which is also to bo "tho ilnost
in the land. " Portland is a city of sixty
thousand inhabitants. Omaha contains
ono hundred and thirty-four thousand
seven hundred. The Portland depot is
estimated to cost ono million
dollars. The cost of the Omaha struct
ure will probably reach a quarter of a
million. A comparison of the pictures
of both buildings shows that of Portland
to'bo superior in size , design , material
nnd ornamentation , and Is pronounced
by the architect to bo "tho llncst west of
Chicago. " Tine BKI : calls attention to
these facts.meroly to remind the Union
Pacific managers that the company's
overwhelming liberality toward Omaha
cira bo accurately measured by the differ
ence In cost of the Omaha and Portland
depots. Small favors , however , are
thankfully received.
TUB picayune war between Guatemala
nnd San Salvador serves to illustrate the
lack of telegraph service between the
northern and' the southern republics.
The want of adequate facilities for com
munication is one of the main barriers
to commercial and national concord. It
is a rellcction on American enterprise
nnd energy that a work of international
importance lias not been undertaken and
completed by private or public means.
A union of the republics of the west by
railroad and telegraph would not only
improve prosperity , but go far toward
stamping out revolutionary factions.

It Is a bad thing ia itself , and it Is bad as
on oxniunle.-that the impression should pre
vail that the ballot is a mere ornamental ap
pendage of the citizen , like a dog cart , to betaken
taken out or kept at homo according to the
state of the weather. And , while w < r liuvo BO
many entitled to vote who regard their duty
in this false light , it is a mistake to increase
the number by adding to it the entire class
which , nt the present time , has neither the
inclination to perform the duties of citizen
ship nor tlio opportunity to discharge that
duty As it should. It is not probable that the
experience of Wyoming as a state will create

Mr. Little of Sioux City , representing nn
eastern syndicate , has been in the city
engineering a deal by which the men hi )
represents will become the owners of the
Lincoln , Stairtlnrd , Knpid Transit and Capi
tal Heights street railway company's lines ,
by which the eity Is gridlujneit. The matter'
has been kept rather cjulctTout was given to
Tin : BIK : this afternoon by ono of the largest
stockholders in the Lincoln company. The
city has long felt the need of rapid transit on
the surface lines , and it is probaolo that tills
boon , which has previously been desired by
the Lincoln people , will ut last bocomn n.
reality , Mr. Little , after looking over the
cntlro lines , made the owners a proposition
which Involves the substitution of electricity
for inulus us a motlvo power. This proposi
tion has been under consideration by the
Joint owners this evening , but tlio result will
not bo given out until Mr. Little returns from
the trip eastward , on which lie started to
day. There are two other lines , the South
Lincoln nnd the Cotner university ,
which will also bo included in the deal. The
Lincoln company is the oldest and best pay
ing line In the city , the others being built to
points beyond where their projectors owned
property and in advance of the city's ' growth.
The entire mileage of the roads Is nbout
forty-live miles. Ono can go la a car to al
most nny point , but the slowness heretofore
has compelled hurried people to walk. It is
understood that Mr. Little's proposition
stands for forty days , but the deal will bo
consummated before then ,

but the Incalculable usefulness to all literary
workers and otlior.4 who dwlroJ available information -

of this country for the Ilrttumilca.
Slnco the publication of the Brltnnnlca In
vestigations have discovered so many new
fiictw and changed old ones that It can no
longer bo trusted to contain n complete sum
mary of practical knowledge. In Its original
form It was not en tugli for this country since
n great deal of lu Information consisted of
details a bou fobs euro British places anil Its
treatment of American topics was .very
superficial ,
No new compilation of a' full encyclopaedic
nature hiw been imulo recently except tliat
which TUB Uii : : has secured for Its sub
scribers' . The publishers of this American
ized KneyclopoHlla Brltunnlcii have pre
served nil the valuable features of tno orlg-
Innl , which was umiucstionably the great
est work of the kind over maile , and have re
modeled It to suit the latent researches und
particularly to satisfy American buyers who
wish but one ciie.vdopvdla.
An encyclopaidlu has bocoino necessary In
nil educated families. There has been for
years a drmatul for a work which would sup
ply all that the Brltaimlea did , with addi
tions to date , nt a price which would enable
famlllo of moderate menus to purchase.
To use the Kneyclopiedia Britannira as a
basis for an improved anil cheaper work is
quite ns honorable as to print and sell copies
of Dichom , Scott , Victor Hugo or Uumas ,
It IH part of the world's stock of knowledge
open to the American public. Cooper , Long
fellow und Whittlcr have been reprinted in
Knghmd in the same wny.
The publishers of the Americanized Kncy-
clopa'dln IlrlttmnU'u have
employed the best
talent niul llio highest knowledge to edit ,
amend and llll out the work. To bring nn
Instnnco hoinii it may be stated that they re
quested , when the revision-wns In progress ,
that Tun Dei : designate the best authority in
Omaha to wrltd u history of tiio city. Other
clt'es were looked after with the snino euro
nnd liberality.
Soon after the announcement of the under

and decided that the woric count bo mndo n
great boon to subscribers. Papers llko the
Chicago Herald , St , Paul Pioneer Press , San

were glad after the same examination to enter
Into an arrangement for exclusive control of
the work. The publishers admitted only the
leading und host paper lu each city. Tin :
HII : : , the leading paper of Omaha , controls
the work In Nebraska und western Iowa.
It can bo obtained in that terri
tory only through Tin : lin. ) ; A ftcr the enor
mous value of tlio Americanized Encyclopoj-
lia Hrltannica hccaino known there was n
rush of papers for the privilege. But only
the best wcro admitted and it is natural that
the inferior papora show their resentment by
( hiding fault with the use of the Britannica'd
material.
The copy for this addition was nil niado up
originally. Five volumes of the American-
i/cd are issued and the other lU'e will bo out
Inside of four months.
