A PHOMMlXti IXDUSTItr.
The prediction that the increased duty
on tin plntcs under the now tariff would
[ cad to great development of the tin
Industry in tlio United States already
lias most encouraging promise of verifica
tion in the organization of a number of
companies for tlio manufacture of tin
plntcs. A company has boon organized
in Baltimore with n reported capital of
fovon million dollars , nnothcr in Pitts-
burg with n million and n half dollars
capital , Chicago has u company with n
reported capital of four and a half mil
lion dollars , and capitalists of Cleveland
are contemplating the organization of a
company for the manufacture of tin
plates in that city. So far as hoard from
capital to the amount of thirteen mil
lion dollars is now-pledged to engage in
this industry , and it is estimated that
tlio companies organized will unitedly
give employment to not less than ten
thousand men and pay out five to six
million dollars a year In wages. 13ut
this is only the beginning , and if the tin
deposits bliall prove to boas extensive as
they are claimed to bo there Is room in
this country for the employment of four
Union the amount of capital and labor
above noted in the manufacture of tin
plates ,
The now rate of duty on tin plates , two
and two-tenths cents , goes Into effect
July 1 , 1801 , nnd from present indica
tions tboro will at that tlmo bo enough
domestic mills In operation to supply a
largo part of the homo demand. The
prices of tin and tinware may ad
vance somewhat In the meantime ,
but if the domestic production shall after
July next roach ijny such amounts as the
preparations for manufacturing tin plates
now promiMj , und competition in the in
dustry is not restricted by combination ,
any , increase of prices cannot belong
long maintained. Whether the
tin deposits are of such ex
tent and nature as to en
able homo manufacturers to supply the
domestic douutnd is yet to bo demon
strated , but in the event that it shall
prove not to bo it is provided that on
md alter October 1,1897 , tin plates and
tcrno plates lighter in weight than
sixty-three pounds per hundred square
feet filinll ho admitted free of duty ,
"unless It shall bo made to appear to the
satisfaction of the president ( who shall
thereupon by proclamation make known
the faet ) that the aggregate quantity of
such plates produced In the United
States during either of the six years
next preceding Juno 1)0 ) , 1807 , has
equalled otic-third the amount of such
plates imported and entered for con
sumption during any lineal year after
the passage of this net and prior to said
October 1 , 18)7. ! ) " The experiment of
establishing a tin manufacturing Indus
try in this country is to bo allowed aix
yours to demonstrate that it can supply
the demand , and if In that time it does
not succeed in doing this tin plates are
to bo admitted free of duty.
Never before has legislation given so
prompt and energetic an impulse to an
enterprise us in this case , and the prog
ress of the now industry will bo regarded
with great and general interest. Omaha ,
it would seem , has a great opportunity
to aid in developing the tin ulato Indus
try whioh It would bo a mistake not to
Improve. Her propinquity to the tin
mines of South Dakota jjlvos her nn ad
vantage not possessed byany of the cities
where manufacturing companies have
already been organized or are in con
templation , and In most other rospooU
she is as favorably situated as any of
them for making this industry a Huceess.
Some of her enterprising capitalists are
understood to bo now making an inves
tigation with a view to establishing tin
plate works hero , and it is to ho hoped
the result will bo MO satisfactory as to
warrant them In doing so. Tlio good
effect of this movement upon the mater
ial prosperity gf South Dakota will bo
very great , and if the tin deposits are
all they are represented to bo that
state possesses a source of wealth far
more valuable and certain than her agri
cultural resources.
turn inniTATKD Kfuatnions.
The state of mind into which the tory
party of Canada hns'workcd ' itself , as in
dicated by the utterances of Sir John
Miu'donald and some of the less effusive
leaders , over the now tariff law of the
United States , appears to belie their
proteiillon that Canada can got on very
well without commercial relations with
the United States. It doesn't comport
well with the claim "that the Dominion
In so powerful in resources and trade
that she can afford to declare her com
mercial independence of this country to
get Into a temper and use violent lan
guage in discussing the fiscal policy
adopted by the United Stales. If the
Canadian people can readily llnd mar
kets olsowhei'o for their products on us
profitable a basis as they have been sell
ing them to the people of this country ,
it is not apparent that they have any
good reason to feel irritated and
angry at what wo have done.
And this is what the government
lenders of Canada claim. They assort
that the Canadian people can llvo with
out the American mnrket , that they
have no fear of the Mtiro , and that
they will continue la the course they
have been pursuing , ollering no conces
sions to the United States , and if they
really fool that they are in such a poal-
tlbnof Independence it might naturally
bo supposed that they would regard the
course of this country , if not with in-
dliroronco , at least without any mani
festations of hostile temper.
But the fact is that the government
party in Canada know very well that the
Canadian people cannot alTord to lose
the American marketand that the olTcut
of doing so will bo to arouse nn irresisti
ble domund for closer commercial rela
tions between the two countries , which
the Dominion government mustacccdo
to or he overthrown. The effort of Sir
John Macdonnld and his colleagues is to
check the rising tide of popular discon
tent by appealing to the national pride
and loyalty of the people , whllo at tlio
same time nioro strongly commending
themselves to the favor of the imperial
government and the English people.
This Is obvious enough in such decla
rations na "Wo will still wave the Brit
ish Hag , " and "Canadians can only bo
true to thoiusolves by remaining with
Great Britain. " ihit it is by no moans
certain .that tlio effect desired U pro
duced. The English press has spoken
disapprovingly ol the lU-touiporod at-
tacka on the United States , and they
have- not been regarded hi the olllclal
circles of England with the favor their
authors doubtless oxpoctod. Thcro Is
reason to bellovo that Canadian loyalty
is appreciated In England la pretty
strict proportion to its moderation.
English ministers nro keenly aware of
the dinicultlos In which the Canadian
policy BO frequently involves them , and
many public men would view the gravi
tation of Canada toward the United
States with perfect equanimity. Just
now the Canadian people may feed that
they have n grievance , but the test of
tbolr loyalty will eoino when their
pockets are touched.
Wo do not bellovo that a policy of com
mercial hostility between .tho United
States and Canada could bo long main
tained , nnd it Is highly probable that
tlio now tarllT of this country will result
in ultimately bringing the two countries
into closer trade relations.
IN TIIH GA
It is announced from Washington that
Mr. Blalno cannot find tlmo to partici
pate in the present exciting campaign.
Neither in Wisconsin , Michigan or
Ohio , in all of which atate.s ho was ex
pected to appear , is his voice likely to
bo hoard.
This is a disappointment not only in a
partisan , but also in a national , sense.
Tlio people are very much wrought up
over the turilt legislation , Mr. Lilalno
represents the most progressive repub
lican sentiment on the tariff , lie stands
for the administration and also for the
doctrine of reciprocity. Tlio p30plo
have aright to hoar him tall : on tills
broad and vital topic before their ver
dict is made up. The violent opposi
tion to the McKlnloy bill , which is after
all disciiH.scd only in the most general
terms , may give away before a masterly
presentation by Mr. IJlaino.
When a great issue is submitted to the
people in England the cabinet ministers
go upon the hustings to discuss it face to
face with the people. Vitally interested
in the verdict , they appeal directly to
the jury of public opinion. The present
campaign Is essentially u ease of this
kind. Tlio champion of reciprocity can
do no greater public. ! service , just at this
juncture , than todlsruss before the pjoplo
the policies by which the success ot this
administration is to bo measured.

An over-zealous MuKoiglianlto in
terrupted the speech of ( ioneral Van
Wyck at llobron Wednesday to pro
pound a ( juestion that refused to lie quiet
within him. The question related to
Burrows' charge that Harlnn had ac
cepted a bribe in the legislature to vot3
for Paddock instead of the Otou states
man. The answer was prompt and con
clusive and reflected credit alike on the
speaker's sense ( if justice and the un
blemished publio record of lion. N' . V.
IJarlnn.
General Van Wyck said , in terms that
wore eloquent with indignation , that
Mr. Harlan stood true to his own convic
tions mid the interests of his constitu
ents , in that remarkable senatorial eon-
tout , lie occupied the speaker's chair ,
where he could have named his own
price if ho had boon ready to bo tray the
people , yet to quote the languugo
ot the general "lie stood .10 high in
personal purity and political in
tegrity that no man or cor-
iwrntlon would dare olfer him money
to swerve from the Hue ot duty. * * *
For years ho has enjoyed this reputa
tion , which ho honestly earned and
which lias never been questioned until
liurrows' attempt to blacken himwith-
this criminal falsehood. This is all ho
has from bis ollorts in life to leave as a
legacy to his children , and ho'is the
basest of men who attempts to strike it
down , I moat cheerfully boar this testimonial
menial to a bravo and true man. "
Tills is export testimony on the public
record of Mr. Harlan. It not only ex
onerates him from the cruel and unjust
charge preferred in Burrows' sheet , but
It also establishes the Impregnable * and
unas.-mlablo character of his whole pub-
lie career.
Mr. Harlan Is n clean man with a
spotless record , If the Second district
should reject him to elect McKoighan it
would ho an act of monstrous publio in
gratitude. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
7/011' IT IS Iff KANSAS.
The campaign in KUIIKH pro.scntsmaiiy
slgnilicant features of interest to tlio
people of Nebraska , and particularly to
the republican party. There tire three
tickets in the Hold the republican-pro
hibition , with Gov. Humphrey at
the head ; the democratic and republican
rosubimsston , led by ox-uovornor Ilobln-
son , a republican , and the alUnnco with
Secretary Willets for governor. A vari
ety of Important issues are Involved In
the campaign , but It is conceded by all
that the paramount question Is prohibi
tion. All attempts to force it In tlio
back-ground have proved , futile. Thin
faet is acknowledged by the Topeka
Uitpihtl , the lending organ of the noitlcd
policy , which , in a wild "Note of Warn-
lag , " appeals to prohibitionists to "savu
the party. " The republicans are not
appealed to , for the reason that tbo'wtil-
fnro of the party has been lost in a des
perate attempt touceompllsh'tho Impos
sible.
The alliance strength in Kansas Is os-
tlmateil at eighty-five thousand. How
many will stick to the tlokot is a quo/-
lion of serious concern. That a vast
number will return to the older parties Is
beyond doubt , because the alliance can
didate for governor possesses no par
ticular force of character to attract a
following. Many prominent alliance
men have already publicly renounced
the order for permitting olllcers to ma
nipulate it for political eudrt.
Ex-Governor llobltifon's campaign MJ
far has been a succession of ovations ,
and particularly so in strong republican
communities. Numbers of prominent
republicans are joining his standard and
taking the stump in his behalf , whllo
the membership of republican resubmission -
mission clubs is steadily increasing.
In addition to these active forces , there
is a largo business element opposed to
the prevailing system of intolerance , in
jurious strife and contention. Com
munities are in n constant turmoil ,
prosecutions Increase and court ox-
iwnsos nnd tastes pllo up , without any
correspond lug benefit to the public at
largo. This el inoiib dare not come out
publicly in tovifr of rcsubmUflionns llioy
would bo visitor with ft social and busi
ness boycott. The veil pocket vote will
therefore play a most Important part in
the election.
Another important factor in the elec
tion is generally overlooked. The Ger
mans propose to throw their weight and
vote in favor of rcsubuitsaloii. The
movement for .personal liberty took prac
tical Bbapo on Forefathers' clay. It is
estimated thoroaro seventy-six thousand
voting Germans In the state , and It is
safe to assert that nine-tenths of them
will support Robinson.
This Is a plain , unbiased statement ot
the conditions that confront the repub
lican party In Kansas. Two years ago
the republican plurality in the state was
sovonty-nino thousand. On national is
sues it Is as strong as over , but through
the mismanagement , arrogance and In
tolerance of llio leaders the success of
tlio state ticket Is Imperiled. By nvi
odious system of penal laws nnd vindic
tive persecutions , conservative , liberal
minded citizens , men who had no con-
neetion with the liquortralllc , have been
driven out of the party by insults and
jeers , and the mai'hlncry of republican
ism placed in the hands of the disciples
of St. John , who. in nil other states , are
viciously Blabbing republicans in the
back.
The lesson is ono which the republi
cans of Nebraska should carefully weigh.
Tlio future success of the party depends
on holding firmly to broad national prin
ciples , to measures of practical benefit ,
and eschewing theoretical cranks and
visionaries.
vr COAL , HATKS.
The agitation for n reduction in the
cost of fuel has developed two important
facts , which the public should bear in
mind. All locul dealers agree that the
winter's Block of hard coal was pur
chased last July ut mtdsummor prices ,
or four dollars nnd poventy-llvc cents
per ton on the cars in Chicago. The
opal ! rate from Chicago to Omaha is
three dollars and twenty cents per ton.
Adding fifty cents a ton for cartage , and
wo have the stated cost hi Omaha of
eight dollars nnd forty-Five cents
per ton. But these figures
are exwsivc. It is an open
sorrel , that the boftl qualities of hard
coal have been hold and delivered in
Omaha within a month for eight dollars
and a quarter per-ton. It will he seen
that the local cdutbinc enjoys the hand-
home profit of jtevonty-llvo cents to one
dollar per ton. . With the winter's .stock
on hand , the public will watch with no
little Interest wlia { reasons will bo g'iven
to justify the threatened advance in
prices. '
The diHcrimijiatlon practiced by the
railroads is notorious and indefensible.
While the rate on soft coal from Chicago
to Omaha is 'dilly two dollars and
ai.xty cents .per ton , tlio rate
on bard coal' Is sixty cunts
per ton higher. Ujo say that there is a
dilTercnce 111 the cost of moving both
kinds of coal iajlabsurd. So far as risk ,
indestructibility and bulk are ooiH-erned ,
they are on an equal footing , but under
the highwayman's system of railroad
classification cdii uincrs of hard coal are
unjustly taxed , 011 the princinlu that the
tralllc will bi'ar it.
The demand for reduced ratc.s on coal
is general throughout the west. In
maintaining an excessive , discriminat
ing' tarilT.on hard coal , the railroads are
intensifying tlio universal fecliny for
more rigid state and national regulation
of publio carriers , to the end Unit
freight rates shall bo based cm cost of
service nnd a reasonable profit on the
actual investment.
Tim nomination of Judge Charles f ! .
Goodwin for delegate to congress from
Utah is a well dnxorvod compliment to
the leader of the anli'Mormon forces.
Judge Goodwin fought the buttle of law
and liberty at a time whoa it was as
much as life was worth to assail the iut-
mlel of Mornionisin. His dauntless cour
age no less than his vitriolic pun soon
commanded tlio respect of the enemy
nnd attracted support from all quarters.
To bin vigorous and unceasing fight is
primarily duo the federal legislation
which forced the .Mormon leaders to
abandon polygamy. As editor of the
Salt Lake 'I'ribinie Judge ( iiiodwin proved
himself a forcible writer and an antagon
ist of uncommon ability. His election
to congress would be a Mimll but do-
horvod tribute to his splendid work in
Utah.

Them can lie "no doubt of tlio fact that tlio
Kiibcnmtorinl campaign hi this state lias nar
rowed down to n otralght light between the
Hohllcr boy , Hiclmrds , and the speculator on
'change in Chicago , Iloyil. Thuro Is not the
Bllghtcst prospect of the election of any man
on the "independent" state ticket. Now the
farmers of this htuto must make up their
minds between this and the fourth day of
November which of these men Uioy win
trust. It Is doubtless in their power to elect
Hoyd mid put the democratic parly in power
In this state by throwing away 59,000 votes

There is ono newspaper in the world , nnd
probably only ono , runaOlo of printing the
brutal urtlclo respecting the American move
ment for the relief of HiilTering in Ireland. .
That journal used to ba regarded as the
organ of Uritbh national opinion , liono.-Uly
reflecting in Its i-oluinns both the defects and
the virtues of British character. The sulcido
of its inlliicnco makes ono of the saddest
fhiiplors In the history of Journalism. ly
stupid and dishonest management the London
Times has degraded Itself into a third-class
organ of n fulling faction ; and literal * now
required some unusually ridiculous display of
itrnoraneeon Its pai-t , or sonic extraordinary j
nmnircstntloii of mendacious spite , to gain
for It momentarily the attention of tlio busy
world.
No newspaper anywhere , wo say , except
the London Times , is quite capable of attrib
uting to the "parly bosses nnd wiro-piillora of
all sorts" in American polities n generous and
spontaneous movement in this country to
overt the horrors of u threatened famine In
Ireland ; or of tracing tlio Initiative back to
"tlio shrewd advisers who surround the two
ex-iiivsUlents" meaning Mr. Unthcrford 1) ) .
Hayes and Mr. Qrover Cleveland , the hon
orary chairmen of tlio relief committee ; or of
misrepresenting the true condition of affairs
in hchiiul for tlio purpose of discouraging
coiitfibutions from American givers' ; otof
hticcring at un enterprise of uni > clllsli Immun
ity , to wh'ch ' the wildest imagination cannot
attach the remotest suspicion of political in-
turcst or inurccimr.v purpose , as a "bogus
fiiiiilnt' boom. "
This contemptible achievement was re-
.scrvrd for the convict uttcror of the I'arnoll
forgery. If the London Times nay longer
spoke for England , there would bo cause for
Englishmen to blush ,

LI.VCOI.N , Neb. , Oct. 0. [ Special to
Dun. ] On March 1 , .Tohn J. Turner , an old
and well known resident of this city , tiled nt
his home , lie loft considerable real and per
sonal property , and it was generally supposed
had inndo a will , but M time rolled on nna
nouo was lllcd forprobftto , the matter would
probably hnvo been forgotten , but for the
fact that William Clark nnd Niithum S.
Scott remembered to have boon told that the
old gentleman had loft a will , bequeathing n
portion of his property to the board of mis
sions of the Presbyterian church ami nlso
for the board of missions for frocdmcn ot the
same denomination , and thnt they ! md boon
named as executors to carry out this trust.
They nuuio Inquiries , but wore la formed that
no will had been found. They Avoro skept
ical , however , nnd nbout three weeks ngo
lllcd a paper setting forth their belief that n
will containing provisions as named above
hail boeu left , and asked nn order from the
probate court requiring William J. nnd
liobert M. Turner to appear In court nnd
bring forth the will loft by their deceased
father , the plaintiffs Betting forth thnt such
n will had been left , but was being secreted.
This morning the Turner brothers filed nn
answer denying any knowledge of any will
being made by their father , and In connection
therewith tell n queer story.
They say that on March 3 , 1890 , Kcrron
Itoothnn , wbo bad been housekeeper for them
for a number of yeirs , was about to leave the
house ( it being after the funeral ) having in
her possession a satchel which they bad often
seen tlieir father havo. They requested the
woman not to take nny of their late father's
personal property nway with her ; and she ro-
luruud the satchel without its koy. They hud
never opened the satchel , il being locked
when ttcamo Into tholr possession ; and re
mained In their house until the night of Mny
( ! , IS'.K ) , when their residence was broken into
by burglars , and the satchel was found the
next morning cut open nnd the majority of
Its contents gono. Whether the will had
been in tlio satchel the defendants sny they
never knew , having never examined its con
tents.
The matter cnmo up for hearing before
.Tmlgo Stewart this morning , and Mr. W. % T.
Turner was examined. Ho testified sub
stantially asset iip In llio answer , nnd no
other testimony being adduced the case was
dismissed.
AI.TKIIRI ) THE NOTE.
In the district court of Hall county suit
was brought by ono A. Houbcr against 0. 1C.

drawing 10 per cent interest. U'hon the
case was given tt hearing Crawford denied
that ho was Indebted to Heuber for SlUO or
that ho signed the note sot out in the
defendant's petition. Ho denied further that
there was any such IJCMOII as A. Ituubcr or
that any individual with such nnmo owned
the noto. Ho admits that the signature Is
his own , but ho says thnt the note has been
wilfully altered by somebody. Ho says he
gave a note for $120 to Cole , Grant & Co. , but
the agreement wnt that thcro should bo no
interest paid , but that the note was altered
later without his knowledge so as to make it
appear that it was to draw 10 per cent in
terest. The paper wus given to some
representative of a barb wire factory. In
the court the plnhitlfl not oily ; failed to get
Judgment njalnst Crawford , but the jury
gave Crawford fill.OO damages. Consequent
ly the case has been appealed to tlio supreme
court.
