Tim prohibition corruptionists of Chicago cage and New York have been outrag eously stripped in oxchang-o for a literal slice of the bar'l. OMAHA and Nebraska are one and in- sopiirablp. Tlio prosperity of ono is the prosperity of the otbor. Prohibition would give a black eye to both. NKIHIASICA'S ' marvelous growth during ing- the past decade is the best argument in favor of continuing the policies which contributed to such grand ro- Bulls. TIIK South Carolina voter who will not cast a democratic ballot has just eight more days to live with a whole skin. The shotgun is loaded this year and the country has been given fair no tice of it.

Local m-ido and pelf ro.spcct cnll for a vigorous rohuko of thoM ) infamous methods at the ballot box , IT is reported that the empress of Russia ban bocoino very haggard and thin through fear of the assassination of her husband.

' TIIK builders' exchange propose to wage an aggressive campaign against the hired assailants of the city.

Ho hits written the story of his Own greatness and the Now York Four Hundred have it in tin edition do In.xo , limited to exactly four hundred copies. There is another edition for common folks , who should bo duly grateful. They cannot expect to bo invited to his funhioimblo dinners , but they can read the bill of furo by paying the market price. And isn't that butter than being nobody ? IT Is to bo hoped that Attorney General - oral Leeso will got the boundary be tween Nebraska and lowti defined soon after election. Otherwise the Iowa mnn who has had the taste for liquor takoli out of him by not of the legislature may l > o tempted to wet his whistle on tlio ground that ho thought ho was on the right sldo of the Nebraska lino. Lot's have the line between fanaticism and reason made straight and plain. BISMAKCIC is in retirement and the so cialists are getting to the front in Ger many. It is Impossible not to connect ono fact with the ether , The emperor , ineiuiwhllo , is planning in some mysteri ous way to reduce the prices of food and to build houses for the poor. Blsmnrcl ; reproved socialism and William yiolila it a point. That is why they could not live together , It still remains to bo noon whether the Jdeaa of the great ohuncollor had outlived their usefulness - ness and whether the young ruler road the signs of the times aright Bui eight more days remain for the work preliminary to the contest of November 4 which is to determine whether prohibition is to bo planted In the fundamental law of Nebraska , or that Impracticable nod blighting policy rejected by our people. The crisis eo near at hand Involves greater possibili ties affectlnpr the- interests , the prosperity - pority and the future welfare of this ptate and its people than any event , political or otherwise , that lias occurred durlncr tlio twenty-three years slnco Ne braska became a sovereign common wealth. According to our dotennimv tlon of this supreme issue we tthnll en courage enterprise ! , prosperity and pro gress , of Invite decadence , disaster and retrogression. If prohibition bo de feated population will again How into Nebraska , millions of capital now lying idle awaiting' the verdict will become active in numerous forms of Investment , enterprises established will expand and now ones will bo added , and in the restoration of confidence at homo and abroad this great stale will renew the march of progress so splendidly pursued In the past , and whicli has been checked only by the apprehension cautod by the agitation of prohibition. The success of prohibition will bring the reverse of nil this. Not only will there bo no ad ditions to our population of new people , but tens of thousands of our present citi zens will depart to ether states , In the natural dcsiro to escape the decline of property values and the destruction of business certain to ensuo. Tlio experi ence of Iowa in this respect will bo re peated in Nebraska , very likely on n much larger scale. In every city of the state \vo should soon sco what is now to bo seen in the cities of Iowa and Kansas , hundreds of store buildings and resi dences unoccupied , though offered at rentals that would hardly more than cover the cost of the taxes and insurance. Wo should have municipal taxation everywhere increased , until , as in Kan sas , the burden would become so op- proalvo as to bo almost unbearable. , With the decrease of business and the decline of property values in the cities there would inevitably como a fall In the value of farm property. Our farmers having their homo imrkots reduced would find themselves drifting help lessly toward that condition In which thousands of farmers in the east have lonpr been , unable to make the soil yield thorn a livelihood , yet having no alternative but to remain on it or aban don it. In such a situation our farmers would not only find It most clilllcult to obtain money at any price , but would bo relentlessly pressed for what they now owe. The capital that awaits a favor able opportunity for investment in Ne braska in the enlargement of existing enterprises and the establishment of new ones , in the construction of build ings and in other ways , will , If prohibition is successful , seek employment in other states , whore there are no prohibitory laws to obstruct prosperity and progress. The appre hension of those results does not rest upon theory or conjecture ; it Is grounded upon conditions and expe rience of Avliich there is abundant evi dence at hand and accessible to all who care to seek it. THE BEK has already referred , in terms of merited denunciation , to the desperate and unscrupulous character of the prohibition campaign. Its whole conduct and inspiration bus como from imported mercenaries who htivo not a farthing's interest in Nebraska , and who could witness the material decline ' of the state without a regret or com punction. Those sordid advocates of prohibition'for the revenue there Is in it have defamed Nebraska , slandered its peoploandby every unfair and unscrupu lous moans have sought to damage the character and crodlt of th o state. They have shamelessly and persistently em ployed falsehood and misrepresentation , in utter disregard of incontrovertible facts of oftlcial record. 'Ihoy have kept as spies nud sneaks In the principal cities characterless vagabonds who will do any dishonorable service for hire. They have Hooded the census office at Washington with anonymous communi cations intended to discredit the work of the federal enumerators in Omaha and ether cities. They have sent out to the country statements designed to injure the financial standing and credit of our business communities. In short , no methods or devices have been too un principled or scandalous for these enemies of Nebraska in their ollorts to promote the cause of prohibition. Never In all history wore baser expedients resorted - sorted to in the name of moral reform. % Never was there a more urgent demand upon a pcoplo to indignantly resent such practices and repudiate the party that gives then countenance. Wo believe that the patriotic senti ment , not loss than the practical com mon sense of the people of Nebraska , will lead them to reject a policy whoso defense Is an assault upon the character and credit of the state , and wlioso con summation would bo fruitful in producing the conditions which its advocates falsely assert now exist. "Wo believe that the largo majority of tlio Intelligent farmers of Nebraska will not vote to In corporate In the constitution a policy the Inevitable effect of which must bo to largely depreciate nil property values , exclude and drive out capital and indus trial enterprises , and chock the growth of population. During the luU decade Nebraska's increase la population was nearly ono hundred mid thirty-four per cent ; Iowa's increase wns only about twenty per cent. If prohibition Is de feated there is no reason why Nebraska shall not pass Kan as In population and overtake Iowa before 1900 , realizing in the meantime ) a much larger ratio of increase In wealth. What mildness It would bo to sacrifice such n possibility fora policy that hnseverywhere failed of its purpose and been productive of evils far more serious to society than those It was intended to remove. The verdict of the people of Nebraska on this question will determine- whether the state is to go forward in material prosperity or to retrograde. It will moan an immense gain in aggregate wealth during the future years , bring ing with it Increased comfort and hnp- plness to the whole people , or a vast loss in which every citizen who Is com pelled to remain hero must share , and which will greatly reduce the advant ages and benefits now enjoyed by tlio people. The ono road leads to retro gression , the other to progress. There ought to bo no doubt ns to which ono the intelligent and patriotic people of Ne braska will take. A aiiRAT SOMilKll'S Today Is the ninetieth birthday of Count von Moltko , and it will bo cele brated nil over Germany with extraordi nary enthusiasm , and by Germans in this anil ether countries. For1 some-time pnsl Kmporor "William has been giving a proat deal of personal attention to the preparations for this celebration at 13er- lin , thereby manifesting his strong af fection for the grout soldier who has had no superior among his contempora ries , and whoso fame will llvo as long as the history of the German Kmpiro en dures , In the milking1 of which few men played so conspicuous and valuable a part. The world is wont to think only of Bismarck in connection with the achievement of Gorman unity , but the work of that great statesman could not have succeeded without the aid of the wonderful strategist who planned the battles that crushed the policy of Aus tria at Sndowa mid vanquished the ar mies of Franco on several mem orable fields. Even the military renown of the grandfather and father oC Emperor William was duo largely to the genius of the veteran in whoso honor all Germany will bo ablaze today with en thusiasm. Von Moltko received a thorough mili- tnry education and entered the Prussian army as a cornet. He advanced steadily , attaining the position of lieutenant gen eral of the Prussian army more than thirty years ago. Ills first great ser vice was in the war with Denmark over the Schleswig-Holstein dillieulty , and a few years later his genius found a broader field in the war between Prussia and Austria. Von Moltko was seventy years old when ho commanded the Prus sian army and its auxiliaries in the war with Franco in 1870-71 , but that su- pi'Oina test of his ability g-avo him a just claim to bo considered the greatest strategist of the ago. Von Moltko was a most careful student of the military operations in this country during' the civil war and n great ndmiror of Grant and Sherman , showing the former great consideration when ho called on the count during his visit to Europe. Tlio German people are justly proud of their most distinguished soldier , and ho mer its all the honors that will bo showered upon him today by all classes of people from emperor to peasant. OKXEIt.lb nOO'J.11'S SCHEME. The Salvation Army has never had much standing in America , but General Booth , the father and lender of it , has caught the car of Knglnnd with a scheme for the relief of London's poor , proposed in his book , "En Darkest England. " If it Is a good thing in England it may bo in America. Ho proposes that the very poor of London shall bo gathered into two city colonies and maintained In part on broken victuals systematically collected , and in part by the wages accruing from very common trades. Ho would clothe them largely with the cast-off garments of the well-to-do. lie would have them live in luJo but comfortable houses built by themselves. As they become self- sustaining ho would have them graduate to a colony in South Africa , where their opportunities for prosperity would be bettor. It is the old fchonio of community life , to bo undertaken with the aid of a generous public. A London paper says of it : "It sounds like the dream of a philanthropist revised by a practical mnn. " The world Is full of miserable poverty in the midst of plenty. If this plan can help to mitigate it , it is worthy to bo tried. General Booth has furnished the poor of London with a religion. If ho succeeds in also furnishing' them with a living ho will deserve to bo remembered among- human benefactors. A SMOOTH OA31K. The era of Munchauson schemes and visionary projects Is not by any moans on the wane. As long as a cry of pro ductive distress is hoard in any section of the land , some Inventive genius will spring to the front with a spoclllc. Among the latter must bo classed Will iam T. Hunter of Chicago , a philan thropist of national proportions. Mr. Hunter has a scheme a , mighty ono. Like Colonel Sellers ho given bis personal guarantee that there tire mill ions in It , The deolinu in the value of western stock during the past five years appears to have harassed the soul of the Chicago benefactor. lie wept in slloneo for the tribulations of the western stock- grower , condoled with him in secret , and "burned the midnight oil'1 devising plans to ameliorate his condition. At last ho struck it , and all that is neces sary to ilmko It a go and put millions In thopockots ol all Interested is for the Btockgrowors to commission Mr. Hunter and support his scheme. Mr. lluntor claims in a confidential circular sent to the press that eighty par cent of the stock growers are with him , but ho wants the remaining twenty per cent. The profits are so vast and hla benevolencesoj broad that ho wants all to share in tlJ Benefits of an Imtnodlnto raio of thUlj-1 per cent In prices. If this baekwnij 'twenty per cent of the stock gro\voiaconiesfor\vardbroker8and \ \ commission mpu will ho dispensed with , the time alii * quantity of * shipments regulated by olectrio buttons in Williams' desk , stockyards planted at convenient pwfits and six million dollars in uroRts pocketed annually , in addition to the advajico in prices. Production , shipment ' and possibly , killing' consump tion will bo reduced to a system , the pnhny days of Hugo prollts and no work will como again totho cattle raisers , and W. T. Hunter will bo hnllodas the bene factor of the cow men. As to money , the Chicago philan thropist has enough and to spare , and unlimited outside resources to draw on , consequently he silences sordid sugges tions. Incidentally , however , Mr. Ilun- tor lots the cat out of the bag. Accom panying his charitable scheme is an in timation that "I can secure any amount of hind us near cities In Kansas and Iowa as the Union stockyards nro to Chicago , by agreeing to build on it. " People In this section tire well aware of the depreciation of property In the states named , but few realized that It had fallen so low ns to require being , plastered with imaginary millions to work It oil , by way of Chicago , on the cattlemen of the west. .1 GKXKitMt HOLIDAY. The great Interests involved In the coming- election justify the action of the city authorities in urging a general suspension of business and employment on November 4. Under ordinary cir cumstances , tho-duty of na doctor is the most sacred obligation Imposed by the state , and for that reason it is urado a legal holiday. Grave as is the duty of honestly participating in the selection of public oflleinls , the issues to bo de termined nt tho-ballot box next month appeals with greater force to every citl- /on. The question whether the state shall uproot the policy that has demon strated its effect ivencbs in ten years trial and received the endorsement of the most enlightened states in the union , and adopt a system fraught not only wlthdunger totho poacoand prosperity of the stnto , but a system which the great state of Iowa has practically repudiated after a thorough trial. It is a question vRally affecting every property owner , ' m'orchant , manufacturer , and workingman - man , for , on the endorsement at the polls of the existhig'lnws depends the banish ment of the ilacfc clouds now overhang ing the nuiteruU prosperity of the ] Teo- pic. : ] It Is not necoisary to impress on the people of this djy tlio importance of devoting - voting tlioir ivaplo energies on election day to the woijlc of rebuking1 the defamers - famers of Onialia and Nebraska. All classes of busini'iM men as well u.s workingmen - ingmon fool the depression produced by the agitation of the prohibitory amend ment. It has forestalled investment of capital , checked enterprise , made job bers and retailors' unusually cautioAis , nndjQllod the banks with Bullions of idle money awaiting the result of the issuo. And this uncertainly inteiiblHes as election day npprbachos. The suggestion of the council should therefore receive the cordial approval of all persons and corporations employ ing labor. The 4th of November should bo made a general as well as a lognl holiday ns far as practicable. Concerted action should bo had and an understand ing reached to suspend business and de vote the day to the patriotic duty of protecting the commercial and indus trial prosperity of Omaha and the state from the blight of prohibition , Loyalty to the city and state , the progress of the past no loss than the splendid prospects of the early future de mand that this day of days bo observed in sustaining a policy of restriction and regulation conceded by all reasoning men to bo the best yet devised , 11KVEXT JVBjr YORK STATUES. Now York City is just now- doing moro to perpetuate the memory of the great men of our times by works of art than all other cities of the United States. Her peonlo are keeping the gifted Amer ican sculptor , J. Q. A. Ward , busy with subjects that must appeal to his gonins with the double claim of patriotism and art. art.Ills Ills statue of Horace Greoley has just been unveiled. It stands not only as a monument to tlio founder of the Now York 2V < { iioic , but also to the magnifi cent development of journalism which took Its earliest inspiration from him. Mr. Ward has also a fitatuoof Henry Ward Bccehor cast in bronze , another of Roscoe Conkllng in the clay , and still another of Phil Sheridan under way. lie has also bcon commissioned to preface - face the bronxo presentiment of Chester A. Arthur. This popular sculptor will , therefore , do moro than almost any ether man to draw the picture for future gen erations of the men who have very largely moulded ho thought and made the history of the- country in the import ant period between 1800 and 1885. The people of Now prk show a coinmendu- blo public spiriti'in giving him the op portunity. The bronze statue is perhaps the high est form of memorial tribute which the people can to pay to greatness. It is a tribute not to bo 'conferred ' until the last page of aiminglife is written and the world agrees , tnat his character and career are of transcondant Importance to the past and tlib''future. Hut when this is dotormlned , vi\o \ statue can not como too soon. Its iVnlueHO far 113 the present day isconcorn& loses force with delay. To unveil a monument to n pilgrim father is worth little compared with the unveiling of ono to a great editor or preacher , an incorruptible statesman era a marvelous soldier , the Impress of whoso greatness wo see In the story of our own limes. The world acknowledges the fragrance of the rose fresh plucked , quivering from the stem , rather than that of the llowor , however stately , that has been dried and pressed between tlio loaves of history for two hundred years. The west , which has so many triumphs to celebrate , Is deficient in Its statuary. Its people should take a hint from New York. ADVICES from Chicago indicate that the long promised boycott of the Union Pacific by rival lines has been ofllclally declared. From the moment the alii * nnco was consummated with the North western a year ngo , rival lines throat * oned vongenco , but their threats were mot with cool liulllferctico by the al lied lines , The miuinpora doubtless weighed all contingencies before sealing tlio compact , and are thoroughly cqulpjied for the contest. The territory controlled by the Northwestern and Union Pacific from Chicago to the Pa- clllc nondi , their unsurpassed system ol feeders , coupled with a direct Interest In the Vnmlorbllt lines eastward , forms a closely-allied - broken line from ocean to ocean , capable of meeting any emergency. The decla ration of the boycott will provoke active , aggressive competition , and result In a readjustment o ( the Iron-clad rates maintained since the Inception of the pool and. asso ciation systems. Whatever may bo the final outcome to the corporations , the rupture can hardly fall to result in n permanent reduction of the exorbitant tariffs levied upon the productive indus try of the west. Tun BKB acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend the banquet to bo given at Columbus , O , , November 13 , In honor of the seventy-seventh anni versary of the birth of Hon. Allen G. Thurman. Notwithstanding the fact that the celebration Is in , the nature of a democratic festival , all citizens , regardless - loss of politics , will share with the participants the spirit of the occa sion. Tholifo and public services of Mr. Thurmnn nro common property. A man of broad intellectual grasp , a statesman In the true sense of the term , a fee of monopolies in every guise and a tireless advocate of the Interests of the masses , the l'noblest Roman of tliom nil" ranks high among the great men of the cen tury , and his character and career rep resent the best typo of American man hood. Tin : far-seeing managers of the Ch 1- cago. St. Paul & Kansas City road have decided to extend the line to Omaha to moro effectively handle Us business in this city. Although the road Is not a direct factor in Omaha's railroad sys tem , it plays no inconsiderable part in the regulation of freight rates and handles a largo amount of the city's trade. By building a direct line it will bocoino an active force in the commerce of the city and may possibly solve the bridge problem. THE oflleinl announcement of the census places Omaha twenty-first in the list of leading cities in the union. Of the thirty-five cities now having a popu lation of seventy-live thousand or more , Omaha stood at the foot of the list in 1880. In ten years it has mot mid passed fourteen cities in tlio list and advanced from the sixtieth to the U-only-first in rank. The record is a proud one. Tun breeze stirred up by the- prohi bition bribers and burglars will swell tea a cyclone of honest indignation on No vember ! , and sweep the disreputable hirelings ort the face of the state. J.V 'TIIK I'ULKTICAIi WIM. There Is one feature In tlio career of youiifj Mr. Bryan that has not received sufllclcnt at tention. This is his appearance in tlio cele brated character of "Dr. Jckyll an Mr. Ilydo. " Ills conception of the part Is differ ent from that of both lllchnrd MnnsflelJ and Daniel Baudinan 11 , but It is moro Interesting because theirs is only an affair of the stage , while- his is adapted to practical life. Mr. Drynn's llrst appearance in the cliur- acter of "Dr. Jckyll" was.nt the Congrega tional church \Yeeping Water some months since. On that occasion ho is snul to liitvo filled the pulpit quite acceptably , oToringtho ( prayer , reading tlio hymn , preaching the ser mon and pronouncing the benediction , Ho guvo another romloiiugof the same devout character at Lincoln , when ho Intro duced , a resolution nt the bar mcctiiiK forbidding the use of wine ill a coming banquet. Incidentally it may bo remarked that tlio banquet never came. "Dr. Jokyll's" rcsolatiou Hllod it. Hut the linost bit of acting whb'h tie has done in this part of the character was seen when ho delivered n red-hot prohibition speech In the chapel of the stito penitentiary. In that scone ho Is said to huvo fuirly out- ilono anything recorded of Stevenson's hero. But the achievements of the versatile actor in the p.ift of "Dr. Jckyll" fade into nothing ness compared with his present success in the other halt of tlio dual rolo. As "Mr. Hyde1' ho fairly outdoes himself. Ho is now engaged in this part of the performance. His assumption of the character of a red-hot , high license , imti-prohlhltionlst is so lifelike a * to bo startling. In this character ho Is now np- pcarlng at various points in the L-'Urst district. In his spfcrli nt Omaha and elsewhere ho came out lint-footed against prohibition. Ho frequents tlio saloons with "tho boys" anil is "hull fellow well mot" with the heelers in the Bloody Third ward of Omaha , at which the rural prohibitionists stand aghast , In this scene the transformation is complete. There Is absolutely nothing in the bearing of the October candidate for ofilco to suggest the saintly .voung man who .filled the keep ing Water pulpit in the Jovous springtime , It is suid that when Mr. Uryau recovers from "that tired feeling , " as ho will a few months after "the , men who work In shops" uru through with him , bo will take thestagoand challenge both MnnslU-ld undllaiidmunn to a joint production of "lr. ) Jckyll and Mr. Hyda. " And In that contest It is safe to say that ho will win. Hut does not this two-faced politician present - sent a spcotado to disgust honest voters ? Would not the average democrat prefer to have a man in congress who has opinions and btlcks to them and does not try to win sup port by sliullling on both sides of n great pub- lo question ? Mr. Drynn'n performance lias its funny sldo , but It ought to bo presented to him In its serious light on November-I. Warren SwIUloris another democratic can didate who Is trying the same dodge to got votes. Ho is superintendent of the 1'rosby- turlnn Sabbath school , but is running on the democratic ticket forstatescnatornnd doesn't intend to gut left on tlio ground thai ho is not one , of "tho boys. " Ho Is cultivating the powers that bo and trying to be like ttio Homims while ho Is in Home until after tlio election. There are democrats who HUe Sunday school superintendents. Theau will find Candidate Jcicyll In hta place on the S.ibhnth. Then tlicro nra ilumocrnti unit they are much the moro numerous who like. . Mr. Swltzler far bettor in tba role of "Mr. Hyao. " In this part he h equally Indefatigable und anxious toplcaso. It h seldom that the voter Is of fered sowldoa range of cholcoln the person of one man , and yet there la sotno prospect that Mr. S'.vltzlor will bo defeated on the grounii'that ho Is altogether too many kinds of a candidate.
