Tn u Bli ! : Is reliably Informed that jogtis dispatulius are to bo sent from Omaha to leading republicans nil over ho stuto and to the chairmen of the vu- lous county committees over the signa- uro of Uratl D , Slaughter or Walter Seelny to the ctToct that Omaha is voting1 olid for lloyil and linking thorn to rotal- ate by voting for prohibition. Other logus teleguuns are to bo sent out on lection day asking lopublicMns in the various cities mid towns to hold back heir votes until afternoon HO that they nay bo able to offset the Omaha \oto. On the face of It this scheme bears the car marKs of thiid party prohibitionists i\ho are more anxious to defeat the ciHiblican party than they are to carry nohtbltlon. Every lopublican who Is familiar with political tactics knows thnt it isory 'isky ' to hold back votes on election day , nnd few of this class will bo so idiotic as o pay the slightest attention to such telegrams or letters purporting to bo signed by members of the state com- nitteo or any loading republicans. It is easy to p ociuo blank letter heads and envelopes for the gang of scoundrels who iiivo been Impoited by the prohibi tionists. The oali safe \v.iy for republicans is to vote early and poll all the voles they can up to Mimlcnui. AM , IT in : viioannss on DECLIXM This is the paramount question in volved la ( ho piohibltloa contest. The trroHth of Nebraska under existing con ditions has been almost unparalleled. During tlio labt ton jears her population increased nearly one hundred and thirty- four per cent , while the increase of property valued was much greater. In 1880 the number of farms wan sixty-three thousand , embiacing five and a half million acics and valued at one hundred and five million dollars. Un doubtedly the number of farms has more than doubled In the last ton years and their aggregate value at least trebled. The growth of cities and towns has been very rapid , and their progress has been bound and mibstantial. Few other slates ha\o had to great an ad vance in all the conditions of material prosperity , and but fi\o show a larger poti'ontage of gain in population during the last decade. " \Vhatistho iccoul ol the adjoining nnd competing states of Iowa and Kan sas. The statement of the census oilico shows that the population of Iowa inn eased in the ten years from ISSOto 1590 seventeen and thirty-six- hundrcdths per cent , and du ring the last half of that period only eight and seven-tenths per cent , less than normal , thus showing that more people loft the state during the five years than went into it. As a necessary consequence there has boon little , if any increase in the aggregate value of prop erty , and it is an unquestionable fact that in most of the citica and towns of low a property is rated at a lower market value than it was five jears ago. The Insrotibo of the population of Kansas dur ing the last ten years is stated by the census oflico to have been forty-t\\o and nluotv-ono-hundredthB per cent , but the faiuuo authority shows that for the last three years the state lias been steadily loning population- The highest point reached , according to the state census , was in 1888 , when the population was slated to bo one million flvo hundred and eighteen thousand. The state cnnrmor.v- tloa of the next year showed a loss ol fifty-four thousand , and according to the federal census the loss of population in two years was ninety-lho thousind. The towns as well as the rural districts suf fered fiom this loss , andthoolTect every where was to diminish the value of property. There can bo but ono logical deduc tion from these Htrongly contrasting facts. They aio conclusive evidence ol the blighting effect of prohibition , and must bo so regarded by all whoso com mon scnso Is not blunted by a heedless fanaticism. What reason can bo urged why Nebraska would not suffer from prohibition as Iowa nnd Kansas have suffered11 ! The tlueo states are prac tically alike In their conditions. They are essentially agricultural states , and n policy that \\ould have a disastrous ef' feet upon the interests of ono would surely have a llko result with others. But the inevitable consequences of in flicting prohibition on Nebraska are not loft to conjecture. They are cloarlj foi eshndowcd. There is not a city in the state that would not lose business and capital within thirty days after the adoption of the prohibitory amendment , Hundreds of merchants throughout the btato are prepared to move out as seer as possible If prohibition carries Millions of capital awaiting In vestment in the stnto if the people rojecl prohibition will go whcro profitable op portunltics iuvito it in the farther wcs if that destructive policy ia fastened or Nebraska. Contemplated enterprise ! which \ \ ould glvo remunerative employ inont to labor , increase the demand foi the products of our fauns , and oalargi the volume of money among all the pco plo , will bo abandoned. Our bdioolsll bo deprived of a revenue that must be mndo up by taxation , or the oduo ition ol our children suffer. There being iu longer a demand for property its valui must decline , mid in city and countr ; higher taxes and property deprooiatloi A.lll go hand-in-hand. Depression an < dls.wtor are the Inevitable concomitants of Iho prohibition policy. The defeat of that policy azures the continued progress and prospotlty of No- bnska. Her cities and towns will crow more tapldly than c\or before , With enlarged markets for her products her fauns will Increase in value. Capital ami enterprise will seek the oppor tunities she can olTer. New people will come in to increase her industrial nnd financial resources , and e\ory department of activity will receive fresh linp-ilso nnd vigor. Moving for- UT.'don sure and legitimate lines of piogress , Nebraska In a few 30111-3 \\lll have jiassed Kansas and overtaken Iowa In population , and gone far b end either In wealth mid thogoneriil piosper- ity of her people. No citizen sincerely concerned for the material welfare of Iho state , and whoso reason is not under the control of a fanatical prejudice , can doubt whit his course should be in tlio present crisis. IIo will vote to continue Iho policy under which Nebraska's remarkable piogress has been achieved and to de feat the 8)stem that has been a ruinous experiment to her neiirhborlng states. .liV Al'PK.lI , \roUKlKOMKff. \ .

TllK OUTLOOK IN OTllHlt STATUS. There Is scarcely a state in the union whore the returns of next Tuesday's election will not bo awaited with un usual interest for peculiar and loc.i icasons. It is to bo regjotted tint the presence of absorbing local issues will prevent anything like a fair expression of the country on the national issues which , in the last six weeks , huvo been forced into the canvass. Pcniibjlvania , for instance , lias a nom inal republican majority of eighty thous'ind , yet it would not bo strange if Pattison were elected governor this jo.ir , as ho was in 18S2 , on parsonal and and slate issues that have divided the republicans. Such an e\ont would have no national significance , any more than a. landslide in Wisconsin on the school question , or in South Carolina or Georgia on the now problems that the alliance move ment lias thrown to the front. There are similar peculiar conditions in Mas sachusetts , Now York and throughout the south and west. It is an "off" you rte to an unusual dorro3 , and yet there are national questio.is to bo passed upon that would make the contest nearly ag Interesting as a presidential year if the local questions wore out of the way. The outlook in the other states , llko the outlook In Nebraska , is decidedly mixed. It is altogether likely that each pirtysvill find ground for encourage ment in the returns from the various sections , and that neither will bo able to say that it has been "vindicated" by the loturna as u whole. That satisfac tion will bo deferred to 1802 , when the parties will bo arrayed against each other on national questions and \\hen do- cisho results may be expected. HOW IT UL1G111S THE I'AltTl' . There Is ono thing which prohibition does , prohibit. It prohibits old-tlmo re publican majorities in every western state where it becomes a law. The republicans of Nebraska should gravely consider the perilous position to which their party has been brought today by the fanaticism of prohibition. They should look at Iowa , Kansas and the Dakotas , and then prepare to bury In a doou grave the element of discord that has given the democracy chances of success in states overwhelmingly repub lican on legitimate party issues. Horace Boles , a democrat sits in the oxecutuo ehair of Iowa. That state gave President Harrison a plurality of neaily thirty-two thousand in 1888. exactly ono year later it elected the present democratic governor by only six thousand plurality. Senator Allison. Iowa's favorite son , had a narrow escape fiom defeat for re-oloctlon in u legislature that was barely republican on joint ballot. But that is not all. Iowa had formerly a reliable republican majority of from sixty thousand to eighty thousand. It is still to'bo de pended upon to return a republican electoral vote in presidential years , but the party supremacy in state affairs , has been blighted almost beyond hope by pestilential prohibition.

The trafllo flourishes In dofl- nnco of law nnh dlcency. But prohibi tion , tn a few brief ) cars , has torn Into shred * the splendid fabric of republicanIsm - Ism thnt ha ? wltlsood nil other storms. On state questions Iowa is today demo cratic , and getting moro BO every your. The same forces hij\o worked the Bamo disaster in Kansiw and are tending in the same direction in the Dakolnn. Al'oady Iho republican majority of Nebraska begin * to weaken under the Influence of thotynmo poison. If It dis appears altogether next Tuesday It will bo duo to the oporatlon of the causes that have blighted It elsewhere. It rests with the thinking members of the party to iay how far the disease shall spread and how long it shall en dure. Prohibition has every whore and nl- wnjs been the fatal oncmv of the repub lican party. It owes to the republicans all the piogrosslvo teinpornnco legisla tion over cnnctod in any state , but it has Invariably turned to smite the hand that had helped it up. It has brought the parly in the west to the perilous edge of disaster. It defeated James G. Blalno in 1881. It 1m ? done its best to deliver the electoral votes of nil doubt ful states to the enomlos of temperance and republicanism In every presidential jear since the war. If it succeeds in Nebraska this year it will make a wide breach in the lepublicnn ranks and glvo the democrats the confidence of success hoi oaf tor. The republic-ins of Nebraska ewe it to themsohes nnd the party throughout the union to btiIke down this nightmare of fanaticism at Iho polls next Tuesday. Let this triple menace to the supremacy of the parly , the pence of the people and the prosperity of tlio state go down with the condemnation of the republican masses stamped upon it. Registration Inning been completed as far as practicable under the law , all eflorts must ho directed toward bringing out a full vote. The determination of business men , manufacturers and all cm- plojos of labor to suspend business on Tuesday loaves no excuse for delay in voting , and every voter who can pos sibly do so should discharge that duty In the foicnoon. Notwithstanding the great increase in polling districts , the average number of voters to each far exceeds the four hun dred basis. The aveiago is over six hundred. In many instances the regis tration lists show o\or nine hundred votes to a poll. 'In ' every instance whcro the number of voters exceed sis. hundicd an average of ohejballot n minute must bo cast. Under ordinary limmistances tills number conliT easily bo exceeded , but tno cumbious lystcm of registration , the delay in fliiillilg names and the ob structions whloh'iniay bo legally at tempted makes Jt imperative that every voter who can sp isibly do so should go " to the polls in the"forenoon. . The experience of past elections is a warning to citbons to bo on the giound early. No matter how dili gent the judges and clerks may be , they cannot materially expedite the work during the rush which invariably imp- pens during theVlnsing hours. To avoid the grave danger of disfranchising htm- dieds , if not thouiuids , of voters , a sys tematic effort should bo made to poll the largest possible number of votes during tlio forenoon. The vital issues at stake are sufllcient to spur every % oter to action. The horde of prohibition workers ielie& on delay , obstruction and challenged to par tially defeat the will of the people. Every vote lost is half a vote for the enemies of liberty and progress. The line ofoters should be formed at the opening of the polls nnd maintained until the last blow is struck for the growth nnd prosperity of Omaha and Nebraska. GUIXG HOME TO ViJIB. A democratic contemporary make- , much of the fact that the trains out of Washington are loaded with lopublican 'ofllco-holders going homo to vote , and that President Harrison is about to leave foi ? Indiana , bunt on the' suina nefarious errand. What of itV There is nothing in the constitution of tlio United States that forbids an olnceholdor fiom voting on plection day. On ttio contrary , it is to bo expected that ho at least will have patriotism enough to oxoieiHo the right and duty of citi/onship. As to Mr. liar- I'ison , ho sots an excellent example for the lost of his countrymen , especially for that large class of business men w hicli complains that it has not time to voto. Furthermore , it is an Inspiring sight to see tlio president of the United States go to the polls and cast his ballot like any other Amoricin sovereign. By all means lot the oflleoholdord go homo and vote and let thorn bo accom panied by every other man who onjo.\ri the piivllogo. Let everybody gut in his little ballot next Tuesday , A sunoKsewx roitit.utTiioi.Df. M. Bartholdi , to whoso generosity and genius the Amork in people already owe ' many obligations , , has written to the world's fair directors to sav that lie is willing to compose for that event "n grand piece whfcli , would bo a glory U : the United Stiitoax" and "join hln name with the momornUi ) ) anniversary. " Bartholdi says'in ' his letter that his Idea would bo to i bprosont the triumph of Illinois in its agricultural nnd indus trial productions , ! . ) Tlio people of thi- country will ov 'y w hero hull with delight - light the news of H irtholdi's Intention tc add a new and qftftlnotlvoly American product of his genius to the attraction ol the coming exposition. Already hold In admiration tmu-'Jo ' tcem for his grand gift of "Liberty Enlightening the World , " this now evidence of his dove tlon will raise him still higher ns the successor of Laf.iyotto in the affection- of the American nuoplo. But would not his theme and his worli gain in dignity and interest if the sub' joct woio broadened ? Instead of "Tin Triumph of Illinois , " lot it bo "Tho Tri umpli of the West. " Chicago could ap < propriatcly bo represented as tlio mo tropolls of the section and Illinois wouh bo celebrated with its sister states. B ) making this clmngo the scope of tin culptor would bo enlarged and at least half the contlncn would feel thnt the work of ar was directly associated with it J lii < ilm ] tHynar'iiiP ( * J own history and achievements. Viewed from any standpoint , the sculptor , the piece nhd the country would gain by making tlio subject of commemoration the triumph of the west In all the arts of cMHnition. That would be a subject that could not fall lo Inspire the great Frenchman to produce a work that will live long after the millions who will look upon Iho world's fair have passed tuuiy. Tin : arrest of an imported lieutenant in Onmha for a crime committed In Can ada Is ono of the most Important events of the prohibition campaign. It adds to the mountain of proof that the solo ob ject of the gang of hirelings tinned loose on the state to tell the people how to govern themselves Is to divide tlio boodle gathered by confidence men from the credulous of the country. They luno nothing in common with our people , and while pleaching about morals their char acter and careers make them unlit to associate with loputablo people. The revelations of Defaulter Yiudly nio astounding , and show cleatly that the supporters of the so-called "moral issue'1 had conspiiod not only to violate law , but to perpetrate the greatest outrage on American citl/cns to steal the icgislrntlon lists nnd prevent - vent an honest election. The fact that Yardly was a non-resident and a drinking man nm'do his services all the more desirable. "You are just the man wo want. You must get the names of voters in the different wards and steal the lists if possible. " These were the infamous instructions given the Cani- dlan defaulter. "Steal the lists if pos sible.Vo must w'in by fair means or foul. " The confession of Yardly con firms what THU Bun lias repeatedly shown , that the meiconarios turned lee o in tliis city and state will stop at no means to pi event a fair and free elec tion nnd an honest count. It behooves every loyal citi/en to bo on his guard and 110 every moans to circumvent the conspiracies hatched in tlio piohibitiun camp. Tin : attempt of noisy loaders to deliver the vole of vv 01 kingmcn to the indepen dent ticket finds little encouragement. Workingmen do not propose to support for oflico men whoso piinciplcs are dia metrically opposed to the interests of organi/ed labor. In state and local politics they have nothing in common. This fact was forcibly illustrated by Powers in his opening speech in this city. When asked to state his position on the eight-nour question , ho declined in favor of citrht hours eight in the forenoon and eight in the afteinoon. On all other questions that directly concern the welfare of the working classes , Pow ers and his followers uro non-committal or avowed enemies. No amount of sophistry or assertion can convince an intelligent woikingmun that a vote for Po.vors is a vote for the fundamental principles of orgunl/cd labor. If the In dependent managers weio sincere , they would have given workingmen ropio- feontation on the ticket. The whole movement to inveigle workingmen Into Iho Burrows not was engineered by self- seekers and ambitious nobodies craving for political notoriety. IN" many towns of the state the prolil bitlonists insist on closing the schools on election day so that they can join the women that propose to electioneer for prohibition. This is a most remarkable proceeding. Tlio people of the state and in each county are paying taxes to educate their children and they expect the children to profit by every day's schooling that can possibly bo given for this money. Tc keep a child out of school for a single day is not only an imposition upon tlio taxpayer , but it robs the children ol that which no one can restore to them their time , when ovciy hour is piccious instoiing up knowledge. This is not al ) . The attempt to make use of chil dren n't ticket peddlers is domorill/.lng and liable to result injuriously to the children in case of any trouble in the neighborhood of the polls. present delegation in congress from Nebraska is united and harmoni ous , Mr. Council is one of its most clTeC' tivo and hard working members , lie h now in n position lo do better work In the future than in the past.
