Tliu settlement of the race problem
'receives another repulse in an unex

Ot'EXIXO OF
The republican campaign In Nebraska
ill be formally opened today , and there-
fter until the day of election In Jfovom-
will bo carried on with carnostntws
nd vigor. Tlio time is ample in which
o perform the work thut will insure the
Ictory of the rcpubllcnn party by nn
ild-lline majority. Thcro has been notli-
uglost by not entering upon tlio cam-
laign nt nn earlier date. On the cou
ntry , there lias been a positive gntn
rom the opportunity given tlio elements
ntngonlzlng the republican party to bo
, onrd. Tlio intelligent voters of No-
raska who have supported republican
ism In the past will need less argument
o convince them ot their duty to remain
ilthtul to the principles and policy of
he republican party now thnt they im-
erstaml the attitude ot its opponents.
VIready it has been insulo clear
hat there is nothing to bo hoped
or that will advance the pros-
Kjrlty ot the people and the
volfuro of the state from those who ,
brnicrly acting with the republican
i.'irty , are now making war on It , and it
is needle * * to say that democratic sue-
ess would bo fatal to every measuru of
'eform and relief desired and demanded
> y the people.
The history of Nebraska under unin-
.erritplod republican rule la n history ot
almost unequalled progress. In but little
iiorothan two decades the populationo (
he itn o has grown from loss than a
lunrter of a million to a million and a
quarter , and the increase of wealth has
been even more rapid. In all the condl-
Ions of Intellectual and social improve
ment there hns been a steady and rapid
ulvnncc , so that in no other state of tbo
.inion are the people , as a whole , more
irosporous , contented nnd happy than
the people of. Nebraska. Grant thnt the
-opiibUuun party has made mistakes
and been guilty of shortcomings , still
an administration of affairs during
nearly n quarter of a century
under which such notable progress in
nil directions has been achieved must
have been in ovary essential respect wise
md right , and it constitutes a record
upon which the party can fairly and un
reservedly ask the contimmnoo of the
confidence and support of the people.
The republican party is pledged to pre
serve all tlmt has proved to bo wise and
just in Its past administration of affairs
and to adopt such now policies as exist
ing conditions demand or experience has
shown to be necessary to subserve the
intoroots of the people. It favors the en
actment of more stringent usury laws
and their enforcement under severe pen
alties. It demands tbo reduction of
freight and pa.isengor rates on railroads
to correspond with rates now prevailing
In the adjacent states to the Mississippi ,
and tlio abolition ot nil passes and free
transportation on railroads excepting for
employcsof the companies. It holds that
owners ot public elevators for the btorago
of grain should bo declared public ware
housemen and compelled to handle the
grain of nil pcrbons alike , the &tato rog-
luting charges for storage nnd inspec
tion ; nnd also that railroad companies
bo required to liandlo the grain of all
per&ons without discrimination. It fa
vors compelling railroads nnd manufac
turers to use appliances for thu protec
tion of laborers against accidents , and
demands legislation defining the liabil
ity ot employers for injuries sustained
by employes in cases where proper safe
guards have not been used in occupations
dangerous to life , limb or health. It
holds that railroad and other public cor
porations should bo subject to control
through the legislative power that cre
ated them , and would prohibit by strin
gent laws the illegitimate increase of
block or capital. It domnnds that the
property of corporations shall bo taxed
the same ns tlmt of individuals. It fa
vors u revision of the election laws of
the state so as to guarantee to every
voter the greatest possible secresyin the
casting ot his ballot and secure the
punishment of any who may attempt
the corruption or intimidation of voters.
Such are the important principles
which the republican party of Nebraska
is pledged to carry out it it is continued
In power. They are rational , practica
ble and essential , demanded in the inter
est ot good government and the general
welfare , and defensible as just to all. No
other party lias promised the people
bo much , and no other can bo depended
on to do so much. Why , then , should
not the republican party of Nebraska ,
with the splendid history of the state
attesting the wisdom of its past admin
istration of affairs , still command the
confidence and support of the people ?
Thcro is no good reason , but on the con
trary every consideration affecting the
luturo welfare of Nebraska demands re
publican success. There is still much to
bo done for advancing the prosperity
of this great state and promoting the
Interests of its people tlmt can bo safely
entrusted only to the republican party.
TUK TISKASUliY POLICY.
There was some discussion in the sen
ate on Thursday of the recent policy ot
the treasury department which is likely
to attract general attention at least in
financial circles. Senator Plumb intro
duced n resolution calling upon the sec
retary of the treasury for information
regarding the effect of paying checks
for silver bullion over the counter ot the
sub-treasury Instead of through the
proper clearing house , as to whether it
does not result in paying out notes of
larger denomination instead of those
suited for circulation mid use in ordi
nary business transactions , and whether
such method ot payment does not result
In the payment of gold instead of
treasury notes ,
In speaking to his resolution , which
was prompted by the suggestion of aNew
Now York banker that there is danger
in the hank withdrawals of treasury
gold , Senator Plumb said there had
been recent consplcious illustration of
the Impolicy ot allowing the treasury
department to obstruct or accelerate the
business at the country. Ho criticised
the course of the secretary In holding
money in the treasury until ajwnla was
impending and then giving It out to
holders of government bonds under such
circumstances us to enable them to control -
trol- the money supply of the country
during their pleasure. lie thought It
safe to suy that the money paid out by
the treasury In redemption of bonds
would be used by those receiving it lor
their own benefit and not In the interest
of the people , nnd hu expressed the
opinion thnt nothing but an overwhelm
ing calamity would over divorce the
treasury from such malicious tntorfcr-
cnco with the business of the country.
Secretary Sherman defended the
course of the treasury department n ?
being In strict execution of tlio law , BO
far as related to the payment for silver
bullion in treasury notes of largo
denominations. That was unavoid
able owing to the fact that there
1ms not been time since the now silver
law went into effect to prepare nsulll-
dent amount of treasury notes of small
denominations. But Senator Sherman
doubted the policy of paying n year's in
terest on bonds In advance. lie did not
think there was any danger of a serloui
financial disturbance , the scat'o being
the work ot speculators , but ho was of
the opinion that the secretary of the
treasury should ho permitted to use his
discretion.
It is doubtless unquestionable that the
late policy of the treasury department
has been strictly within the law , but it
has called attention moro forcibly than
over baforo to the intimate relations ex
isting between the treasury and the
money market and the enormous Influ
ence which the former may exert upon
the business of the country , and thcro
has been a good deal of expression as to
the expediency or necessity of di
vorcing them. It is easy to see how
under present conditions a secre
tary of the treasury could unsettle the
business of the country almost nt will ,
but it is not so simple a in utter to dis
cover how ho may bo deprived of this
great and dangerous power. As our
monetary nnd fiscal systems now nro it
is Inevitable that moro or less discretion
must bo allowed to the secretary ot the
treasury , but so long as this is the case
however wise , able and honest the man
at the head of the treasury department
there will bo cause for apprehension in
the always imminent danger of action
injurious to financial and business inter
ests. In tlio present instance the secre
tary has not exceeded the law , but It is
yet to bo determined whether ho hns
wisely used his discretion.
The tragic death of two CMicyonno In
dians illustrates the wholesome regard
for Undo Sam's power that has been in
jected into the most savage of Sioux
tribes. The Indians foully murdered a
white man and their surrender was de
manded by the authorities. To escape
the consequences of their crime was im
possible. This the murderers well knew
and bought to purchase Immunity with
ponies. Failing in this , their interpre
ter challenged the sold lord nnd Indian
police to battle. Fifty armed men
awaited tlio onset. The two mounted
murderers twica charged the lines and
retreated unhurt. The third time they
rode on to donth and came so close to the
soldiers thnt the line wavered before
they fell riddled with bullets. A more
reckless exhibition of dare deviltry was
never witnessed at an agency. A few
years ago those bloodthirsty bucks would
have defied the authorities successfully.
But the avenues of escape are now
closed , and the murderers chose deliber
ate sulcido in open battle in preference
to the ignominy of the gallows. The
means was admirable , , bravo and effect
ive.
THE flood of money poured out of the
sub-treasury stilled the troubled waters
of speculation in New York. The Wall
street gamblers who imagined they had
effected a corner on money were sadly
disappointed. The promptitude of the
government in anticipating legitimate
demands proved a costly lesson to the
schemers.
LIFE insurance companies complain of
excessive mortality and consequently n
serious reduction in their profits. This
melancholy condition serves the good
purpose of convincing the uninsured of

of providing immificontly for his heirs

A Good Principle to Adopt.
N'oboJy who thinks nt nil but recognizes
the untold nnd unnainnblo evils of the Ui-lulc

pecially who hnvo bad near and dear friends

trolled habit , should bo in favor of KoliiR to
the furthermost limits allowed by law to
wreak their vonpanco upon the tranlc. Monde

nroo always on what h the host to bo Jonc.
I-'or instance , the people of the state , by
their present law , say Hint It shall bo unlawful -
lawful to sell Intoxicating drinks to a minor ,

selves. Such are not capable of knowing
how to use poison ai medicine , the wisdom of
any system of InwJiy which even a partially

Knocking out u Trust.
The state papers have commenced already
to knock out the school book tmst in this
state , which can bo done by appropriate logis-
utlon next winter. And this frrcafc trust ,

for school books is a wronff and outrageous
assessment upon the people. The state can
furnish books at half the cost. The trust
must go.
OTIIKH LAXnsTHAN OURS.
The restoration of order in Ticlno and the
apparent submission of tbo insurgents to the
Ifcdcral authorities must not bo regarded as
denoting any weakness on the part of the
leaders of the recent revolutionary wove-
movement. For they possess iu the fullest
degree the sympathy of the contra ! govern
ment nt Berne , nnd the majority of the na-
tlonal legislature. Both of these bodies are
composed of members of the radical party ,
and have long viewed with displeasure the
high-handed manner in which the conserva
tive and ultramontane clement , compoftd al
most entirely of wealthy landed proprietors
and priests , have ruled Ticlno , retaining
their hold on all c.mtonnl ofllcos by electoral
frauds. The revolution appears to have
been nothing more than a comocly , organ
ized jointly by the radicals of Ticlno and
by these at Berne , for the purpose of af
fording to the federal authorities an excuse
for lutcivcntion in the affairs of the Canton.
That such was the case is clearly shown by
the fact that the national executive has di-
ivctcd that the demand for a revision of the
Tk'lao cjatonal constitution , wnich has been
put forward by the radicals , nnd which is
destined to terminate the cnnscrvatlvo tcnuro
of oftlec , Is to be submitted to n popular vote ,
under tlio supervision of the federal author
ities. Tbo imprisonment by the revolutionists
nt the beginning of the insurrection of the
Federal Commissioner Corel , who hau always
been their best friend and supporter , and nn
almost open antagonist of the conservative
oftli-eholder.s , must , under the circumstances ,
bo regarded In tlio light of n clover piece oi
side play , dojtined to ponceal the true nature
of this tea-cup rcvplution.

Ticino ii the southerraost canton of
Switzerland and is largely Italian and Roman
Catholic , with a strong clement of ox treino
radicals of the school of Qarabaldi and Mnz-
zlul and a contingent of Swiss Protestants
from the other cantons. Ticiuo has a radical
majority , but back in 18T1 ! this majority di
vided nguiust itself find the conservatives
came into power aiul have held the govern
ment of the canton evjer sluco. The conservative
vative party Is led by the priesthood , which
is of the most reactionary typo and extreme
in its opposition to. the republican ideas of
the federal government. This minority only
holds the government by arbitrary means ;
controlling the eleullou machinery nud count
ing its own men info olllco' regardless of the
popular will. As a consotnicnco th9 feeling
between the two parties has long boon ex
ceedingly bitter and riots and outbreaks at
the elections have boon common for several
years.

heinve consider that Bulgaria has been
for some years , and is now , the storm center
of Europe , ills strange that thcro should bo
so little information about- current in Eng
land and in this country. The British , vice
consul at Solla has undertaken to make good
the deficiency of knowledge by a report which
has been published by the foreign ofllco. The
area of Bulgaria , including eastern Roumc
lia , but not ou-ludlng tno Kirjal district uuc
the villages in thoHhodono chain which wcro
ceded to Turkey in 1SSO , is39,30'J square
miles , or somewhat less than that of the
state of Pennsylvania. Of this area about a
quarter Is cultivated , and four-fifths of the
tilled land is allotted to irain , The poopula-
tion is 3,154,375 , of which 2,320,224 , or about
75 per cent , nro Bulgarians ; 007,372 , or 20 per
cent are Mohammedans ; 5S,33i , or about -
per cent are Greeks , aud the remaining 3 per
cent nro Servians , Roumanians , Gypsies
Russians , etc. The largest town in Phllip-

Solla , with ! ) " ,000 ; then follow , lu order of
size , Rustchul : , Vnrna , Sliumla and Sllvno ,
with between 80,000 , aud 0,000 , each. The
Bulgarian budget for 1800 gives uu estimated
revenue of 814,500,000 and an expenditure of
810,215,000. , But although every budget since
the country has possessed a separate adminis
tration has shown at the beginning of a jenr
n deficit , it has always in the end exhibited n
balance or a surplus , owing to the habit , attributable
tributablo to Turkish traditions , of under
stating Income. Of the four small states o

The disclosures concerning the secret his

TQo British taxpayer is to swallow his
usual doie this year as the result of the
annual naval mananivrts. In Germany when
an addition to the military budget Is wanted ,
a war scare about Franco or Russia serves
the purpose very well , and after the appro
priation la voted the ttark clouds that hnvo
been summoned up are allowed to roll away.
In. England n similar part is played by the
naval evolutions. Ono year a British squad
ron simulating an enemy succeeded in
ravaging sections of the coast of the
British Isles , nnd moro coast defenses
nro called for. Another year the transat
lantic steamers and other vessels of the
merchant marine are hypotheticolly capt
ured by this same redoubtable enemy. Dur
ing the present summer the British squadron
of defense hunted the seas for its wily foe ,
but could not find him , whereupon a despond
ent service journal declares that "the lessons
of the naval fiasco of 1890 mean more ships ,
moro guns , moro men , " with reinforcements
of all tlio squadrons on foreign stations , and
a third reserve fleet , whereas "at present
thcro are only sufllctent modern ships for
two. " Hut John IJull must reflect that the
more ships and men ho provides the larger
will bo the contingent assigned in the sum
mcr maneuvers to that imaginary enemy
whoso exploits continually put him to fresh
outlays.

The new military law of Franco has consid
erably increased licr fighting material. Ac
cording to the figures of the war minister re
cently published , the French army on n war
footing numbers at present 4,500,000 , trained
soldiers. The German unity is now numer
ically inferior to that of France : aud the
French say that , although the German popu-
latlou is considerably greater than that of
France , the male population of the two coun
tries is about the same. In other words , the
emigration from Germany has left an excess
of female population at homo , and has drained
off an innncnso number of flghtinamea , This
state of affairs is probably tlio real cauao of
the pacific protestations of the young cm
peror and of the cessntiou or war cries la the
German press. And Crispi , too , is beginning
to bo moro civil than ho used to bo.
Tlio fact is , the armies of Russiaand France
nro amply able to make the triple alliance behave -
have itself.

General Freight Manager Whitney of the

tempted several times before and was u big

Important Action Itojiariling AHSOHN-
inent by Hoard of ( Equalization.
Fourteen members of the city council sat as
a board of cqmliiatlon for an hour and a half
yesterday morning In the city clerk's ofllce.
Nearly all the time was spent in inconsequential
quential talk.
The mast Important action was the adoption
of a motion made by Ir. Osthoff to the effect
that in the future property owners would ho
compelled to pay the full cost of sewers in
front of their property. In the pnst property
owners have always paid not to exceed SI nor
lineal foot on the cost of bowers , notwlth
standing that tno cost may have exceeded
that price.
The only councilman to vote against the
motion was Mr. Lowry , who did so on the
ground thnt it would do great injustice to
some poor people who could not afford to paj
for a bower.
A protest signed by Charles Elgutterand
Hans Bock , objected to a special tax for grad
ing South Thirteenth street between Vinton
nnd the city limits , for reason thnt the peti

Mohr was tlio principal -witness ogalnst her

tilled that when their two sons , who work in

their wages over to their father and ho put

grabbed the pocketbook nnd laughingly re

there is due for the same $3,400. , On July 13 ,
ISb'J ' , Holmes Hied a mechanic's ' lien against

Holmes asks that this bo corrected upon the

yet been told about the sensational case iu
which two young lady stenographers from
Omaha , giving the names of Lulu Clark nnd
Delia Forrest , were .found at the mercy of
four gamblers last wock in a room on Tenth
street. The ofllcer then went on to say that
after the gamblers plied the girls with wino
they stripped them of their clothing. 'J.'ho
piercing screams of the young ladles , which
the villlans could not mnlllc. attracted the at
tention of a young man In the building , and
pcrrlag over the transom ho saw the state of
affairs. Afraid to cope with the villians
single handed , ho rushed off to the police
station and notified tbo police. U'ho quartetlo
of lecherous villlnaB were arrested nnd
lodged in Jail , When the lime of trial catna
the girls fulled to put In nn nppcaranco anil
the four gamblers were released. An inves

did not appear because they had received
threatening letters from the fellows who at
tempted to debauch them.
3'AII ) roil HIS EXriUUEXCK.
The case of A. Whalen vs E. J. and T. F.
13i-cnnati , which has been the rounds of the
courts in Douglas county , was toda3 * appealed
to the supreme court. Whalen makes a gen
eral complaint of having been financially
"done up" by the Hrciitians. Ho had entered
into a partnership with the two brothers In
188(1 ( under the firm naino of T. IT. Brenntm &
Co. , ho furnishing the cash and they the ex
perience. According to the voluminous rec
ords of the case it appears that the Brennans
attempted to carry out the old ndago concern
ing the exchange of money for experience ,
and as a result AVhalen raised u howl. Ho
had put several thousand dollars in the Bank
of Commerce for a fund and claimed that on
a number of occasions the Urcmmm drew
out amounts aggregating upwards of $10,000
and appropriated the same to their own uso.
At ouu time It is ujlcgrd that B. J. Bronnan
drew out $ 'UM and loaned it to AV. .T. Mount ,
tuning n note paj'amo only to minscir , anil
then concealed the fact that ho hnd taken
such note. On Juno 21 , 1887 , it is alleged
that the Brcmmns took out $ ' .1,1:14.1)7 : )
from the funds deposited byVlia -
lea and invested it in Omaha
real estate and lands in Ouster oountv. It Is
also alleged that the defendants used part of
the material of the Jlrm in performing con
tracts of their own , and in which AVhalen
had no part. Mr. Whnlcn asks tlmt the pait-
ncrihlp bo dissolved and that the Brennans
bo required tomnko a full accounting of all
the ntfalrs and accounts of the Jlrm. The do-
fcndanU denied every statement of the plaintiff -
tiff charglnir them with fraud. In the district
court of Douglas county judgment against
the Brtiiiuans was secured for * UC23.71.
