Memorable will bo the present prohibition
campaign In Nebraska , with ninny of the olll-
clals at the census ofllco. Not content with
having raised largo funds In vnrlou1) portions
of the cast for the open purpose of corrup
tion at the polls , quite n number of the mali
ngers of the Nebraska prohibition campaign
have directed their attention to the census
ofllco nnd not only asked for advantage In the
way of Illegitimate Information , hut have
made nnonvmously unfounded charges and
challenges iclatliiK to the population of cer
tain cltlos , or wards In cltlci , for the purpose
of innnufactuiing tcmporaty Issues , creating
prejudices and deluding attention from un
derhanded work of au oven inoro icprehcn-
blblo nature.
During the past "two months there have
been received nt the census olllco , In the reg
ular ofllclal channels , scores of anonymous
letters which , if they contained \\ell founded
clmrgos conformation , would go farther to
dostioy the business Interests of Nebraska
than a dozen crop failures and a llnanclnl
panic ,
The statements were mndo recklessly nnd
their burden was to show that the population
returns vcro padded to show fabulous In

fortunes ot a season , but the campaign the
prohibitionists hnvo made amlnt the stable
\v elfurc of Nebraska U upon n lasting basis.
They have struck at the very root of real und
personal property values.
No real charges hnvo been lodged at the
census ofllce , showing that unj thing wrong
or.crroueous has occurred In taking the con-
sin ( it any point In the sUito. The deluge of
letters received wore all anonymous with two
or possibly thrco exceptions , and all wore
predicated upon misinformation or pure fab
rications with malicious intent. As onr of

For the purpose of seeing -what. If anything -

turiis from I incoln wore all gone over care
fully , nnd investigated by a special agent
Tim result made tbo contents of the letter
ridiculous , Tbo prohibition lltrurcs were also
very wiong.
Next followed a genuine letter , signed by
Bomo ono at Council Bluffs , la , describing
the count nnd returns at Omaha , and Intimat
ing that the antl-prohlbltlonists had control
of tlio work nnd intended to pad and icduco
ad libitum , sons to give every possible loop
liulo for tbo defeat of the prohibition ticket by
fair or foul means. An Investigation was
made by the olllco hew , and the statements
Bhown to bo both false and malicious.
Then came nlloouof anonymous letters ad
dressed to Superintendent Porter and other
unicorn of the bureau They contained wild
charges , threats nnd all sorts of statements
but jruvo nothing of u uaturo upon which the
oflli tills could work. It Is the rule of all
fedcuil oftlecs to pay no attention to
iiiiciijiiious communications , except when
tlie-y give perceptible valuable information.
Ino other day a letter came which was
probablv Instigated by sources high up in
prohibition circles at Omaha und vhlcli has
undoubtedly been broadly hinted tit by pw
lillntlonlsts as containing some startling
revelations. It was written on two piges of
nnoto slieot In a larte , OIKII hand , evidently
by sonio Intelllpnnt and educated person ,
but It did not hnvo behind It any moral force
or courage , as the author feared his identity ,
knowing that ho was tteculng to break down
the business interests of Nohriska's
metropolis. I give the letter In full , as It
shows the gene-nil tenor of the bulk of com

him to use all possible dispatch In Issuing the

Cable SpOLlul to Tun Bi L.I Without in
the least disparaging Ilulfoui's abilities , at
tention tiny ho called to the fact that
tils public career thus far has
boon attended -with au extraordi
nary degrco of tact. Whatever mistake
ho may make , his opponents so conduct them
selves as to turn oven that mtstako to his ad
vantage. That the Tippeiary prosecution
\ % us not hipplly timed or wisely undertaken ,
nmiij of Halfour's friends icluctnntly con
fess Some speeches forwhich the
defendants vveio proceeded ngalnst
were old , others moro blather.
Moreover , at the tlmo the prosecution began
the league was desperately divided against
itself and BtUfour's atUitJc brought them to
gether again. The Gladstonlnns sawn gold
mlno lu the probability of the tvyo
Irish leaders being sent to
prison for sk months for making a
speech or two. Capital for tlio campilgn
was In pro pect. At that moment the Par-
ncllltes thought proper to throw the whole
game Into the hands ot Bnlfour. Dillon and
and O'Bilen , by running away , changed tl *
whole aspect of the situation The policy of
bolting ivas never popular In Knglnnd , and
never can bo explained to the advantage of
the bolters. The leader \vlio gets his sup
porters into jail and then dodges the police
when hols himself arrested may produce a
cart loail of reasons for his behavior , but
ho runs n tremendous risk of forfeiting
all claim to respect or sympathy. That is
the state of affairs now , and Balfour's
conlldent tone at Newcastle shows that ho
thoroughly appreciates It. The Gladstonlnns ,
recently full of elation , are discouraged. The
martyrs of Tipporary present themselves as
common fugitives from Justice. The autumn
campaign U knocked Into a cocked hat and
the election probibly lost. Tor so much the
Ulndstoulans are indebted to tlio masterly
strategy of Dillon and O'Bilon.

Special to Tun BKK. | The English press
continues nn agitated dlscussioa of the Mc-
Klnloy bill every elay. Ttio Times has Just
published long , excited letters on the subject ,
and toelny prints a column leader on the
effect of the meisuro on trade with the
United Stales and Canida. The pissing of
the MclClnloy tariff act , says the writer ,
will uneloubtoelly ho a severe blow to the
tiadoof Canada and the United States. The
thing has been done In system In whatever
department of trade bcio there was the most
acti\lty and the most prosperity , the exten
sion ncthnsbeencirefulto interfere , and tlm3
effect minimum mischief with a inlnlmuinap-
parcnt chun o. Canada loses at one stroke the
best market for her agricultural produce.
Timber she may still send , hut must send it
lu a most unfinished state.
Speaking of the remedy , Iho article pro
ceeds : 41lf the Canadian farmer , with
almost equal advantages of soil hut a less
ready market for produce , \v Ishos to compete
on the most favorable terms with his .Min
nesota mid Uakoh rivals , ho will best do so
hy the help of a tariff as different as possible
fiom theirs , In plain words , If Canada is
neb only to keep her place among the trading
countries of the world , but improve
her former position and inako the
McKlnloy act a benefit to her , and neb a loss
her most likely method is to talto example
and encouragement from the mother country
ana adopt fiankly and fully a policy of free
trado"
Onoof the numerous Times correspondents
on this subject siys : "Tho McKlnloy bill
cannot but gUo an enormous stimulus to
smuggling. Most of the Amcriciu frontier
on tlio north is purely tin Imaginary line ,
epaito beyond the power of any government
to guird effectually , and the greater part of
the Atlantic coast seems made to encourage
Illicit trnfllc. "
A signIflcant result of the McKlnloy bill
has Just been brought about at Bradford.

Messrs. AV. Uelxach and "Watson , directors
of the hillt plush firm ot Lister & Co. , Mnti-

Into a limited liability companv with a capital
of over 2,000,000 took place recently.
Helxach is head of the velvet department ,
and Watson chief of thospinulne branch.
The Journey , which has been undertaken
quietly and is not kuownof oven in Uiad-
ford , has for Itsobjo.it the examination of a
bite In the United States for the construction
of mills. The Listers transact a larger .Amer
ican plush business than any
other concern In Europe , and the McKlnlcy
bill bits them to hard that the quotations
for their shares , which wore issued at a pre
mium , hnvo dropped sharply. Tbo present
action , therefore , in opening a mill in the
United States has been forced upon this
great house , which plves employment to over
llvethousanel men and possesses works the
walls of which measure a mile lu clrcumfer-
anco. "
The keynote to retaliatory measures against
the MclCInloy hill was struck yesterday nt
the Savoy hotel , when at a dinner given to
McClure , the American British consul , the
Sorvla company assembled denounced the
bill and brought up a scheme which
will shortly bo put Into operation.
The Sorvhu ( joverument has grouted a
concession to nn English syndicate for the
erection of a pork curing establishment , and
it is announced that pork will bo killed and
cuied for otio Jf pence per ono hundred
pounds cheaper than the .American product.
Therefore Ijiiropcan markets will bo closed
against .American pork. Servia has swine
enough to supply thovvholoof Biltaiii with
pork In every form , and can icacli Eiltlsh
maikets ntn cheipor late than the United
States can offer.

Measure Increasing It.
TAHIS , Oct. 18 Thcro hns been great ex
citement during the week at Lyons over the
now United States tariff Intv , and Bunlean ,
the Lyons deputy , has given notlco that ho
will In the chamber demand retaliation for
the Increased duties on French goods. Ho
will especially propose that a rotalhtion duty
be placed on petroleum and also suggest that
boards of Inspection bo established fortho
examination of all imports from the Uultcd
States.
On the other hand a committee for the
defense of the silk market held a gi oat meet
ing at Lyons , at which the speakers
took the ground that retaliation was
likely to do moro harm than good.
The piesldent of the. chamber of
commerce has called attention to the fact
that the retaliatory policy against Italv has
already eost the Lyons market 7,700,000
francs worth of business and given Germany
industrial supremacy over Italy. Besides
the notable Injustice committed by Franco
and all other countries toward America in
the matter of pork had led to conferring ex
traordinary powers on the president of the
United States by the Edmunds retaliation
bill and might entail din gers to great IVcnch
staple articles of export , particularly wines
and silks The president was followed by n
senator nnd two members of the chamber of
deputies , all of whom spoke to the same ef
fect.
1'ctlt Journal thinks the bill nffeets Eng
land and Germany moro than Prance , which

Temps holds that if the new American tar-
lit Is injurious to French Interests Franco

Herr Von Mnybaoh , minister of putillo

tloti of abill provUlliiff for the erection of

cause of the Incomplete condition of tlio pro

that the trouble U duo to the restraints
ploced upon Muybnch by the minister of fi
nance. The emperor had a grand scheme ,
but Minister Van Maybich , on consulting
with Mquel , 1'russhu minister of finance ,

ttnp the country to long tariff treaties in any

union against the Amcilcan tariff or the pro
hibition policy of other countries being within
the bounds of future necessity , the govern
ment has dlicetcd some leading juilsts to

The socialist congress at Ilnlle closed ted y
to the relief ol' both the deputies nnd Iho
public , who have been swarapod by the
\orbostty of the socialists. Today's session
of thocougicss was opened by the election of
the party ofllccrs. Thoflrst presidents Hcrr
Singer. Llobknccht was confirmed as
editor of tlio party organ. HcrrKossler next
moved that whereas the opinion prevailed
among the party that many of Its former
members hnvo been unjubtifledly accused of
being In the pay of the police , the congress
appoint a committee to report on the subject.
Herr Singer , replj lag , expressed regret that
suspicion should have so Ignomlulously
fallen upon anyone , adding that It was Im
possible for the congress to do vhat was
asked , as the member could never llnd out
who was the "man with the iron mask. "
The matter after all-\\as only indhldual In
terest and party considerations were far
supeiior. The subject did not demand such
elucidation. Itos the police that -were
most concercd in clearing the matter. Hcrr
Kesslei's motion was rejected. The
resolutions adopted call upon the socialist
party In thoiclchstag to seek to remove the
unsatisfactory conditions of the present sjs-
tcm ofemlgiatlon , and especially request the
fedcial government to cxcrcisostrkter super

congratulatory telegrams and fifty-live ad

sitting of the congicss. A coimnlt-
tee which had been appointed to In
quire Into the matter submitted n report
denying that Heir Gilllonbcrgcr was to
blame for making the socialist agitation a
matter of IniHiiuss , nnd stating that sonic
middle man had placed himself between the
deputies and the Dei'in ' socialists. 'Iho co-n-
mittco also decided that the epithet "spitzel"
used against certain member ) of the pnty
was not Intended as an Insult to the Benin
socialists , nnd that although Here Werner of
