Its "Lincoln organ makes a final ppeal to the voters with a two-column rtlelo , dated in this city which begins vith the following expinMion of hatred 'or the chief city of Nebraska : Omaha lias degenerated Into nn Incorpor- .tcd band of outlaws. The whole city Is n n state of nior.tl stupor nnd mental dc- Irlum trcmens. II has absolutely lent slulit f every consideration of decency , fairness nnd respect for law which usually govern the relations of men in social and business life. ivory ! citizen of Omaha knows that his Is untrue. It is notorious that nil ho acts of violence , and all the dlsropu- nblo characters and methods , have thus 'a r boon employed by the prohibitionists Lhcmsolves , so far as this city is concerned. The statements sent over the state by the frco whisky organ are slanders and nothing more. The people of Omaha do not believe that the outside public credits these wicked and malicious stories , which are calculated to injure the state as much as the city. They do not believe that ho radical prohibition leaders have any sympathy in their cllorts to array No- Ijraska against Omaha. Tbcy expect that therio indecent tactics will react .ipon the cause in which they uro em ployed. Omaha is the pride of Nebraska. Its prosperity has always boon , and must ever be , contemporaneous with the pros perity of the state. It Is not possible to draw a line around Omaha which shall ijivo prosperity on one side of it and do- > ression on the other. "Whatever the outcome of today's election , tlio people may know that Omaha has gene through it with dig nity and with proper' regard for the rights of these who differ from a ma jority of her citizens. rortisTs OF TUB rmiua DO.I/.I/.W. Land Coniraibaioner GrofT , in his an nual report just issued , gives extended .mention to the forests of the public domain. There wore reported during the year covered by tlio report three hundred and ten acres of timber tres pass , involving public timber and the products therefrom valued at over throe million dollars. The government ro- co\oreddurinsr the year from suits for such trespass only one hundred thousand dollars. Two hundred and eighty-two suits are pending , involving nearly fifteen million dollars , for timber re ported as having been unlawfully cut from the public lands. This amount is doubtless far short of the full value of the timber the government has lost dur ing the pafat ten ycura from the depreda tions of timber thieves , while perhaps as much more has been lost by forest fires. Such facts emphasize the importance of adequate provision for the protection of the forests of the public domain. The commissioner says that a careful examination as to what has boon accomplished during the past eight years through legal proceed ings , In the way of enforcing tlio laws for the protection of public timbar , shows that tlio most valuable timber on the public lands is being rapidly ex hausted , and that the several laws relating to public timber now in force are utterly Inadequate to prop erly protect either the public forests from unlawful appropriation or the in terests of the settlers engaged in de veloping the country , to whom the use , to a certain extent , of public timber is essential. Commlbslonc.r Groff does not favor a severely restrictive policy with regard to the public forests , such as 1ms been suggested by some writers on this subject , but advises the repeal of laws found to be objectionable inoperative and the enactment of a law inhibiting from entry tlio rugged , stony or other .timber lands not available and along the mountain sides and at the sources of water supply , except under the mining laws , or by such fo'rin of necessary ap propriation , by minors and settlers in Buch regions , as that allowed by the town site Itiws , allowing the free use of timber by thos3 settling up the country to the extent only of their actual needs , and Inviting concurrent action of stuto and territorial legislatures looking to the protection of the timber generally from waste , and destruction , or from being removed or monopolized for purely speculative ends. Tlih course , CommUsionor Groff thinks , would bo more in accordance with the necessities pf a growing country than to pursue a severely restrictive policy , depending - pending principally , perhaps , upon the army. His view is that it would appeal to the sentiments of all good and pat riotic citizens interested , as such citizens uro , in the wclfaro of their particular neighborhoods , and having pride in their respective commonwealths , as well : ia their common country , and thus bo bolter calculated to lead to concurrent logl&lntlon by the. state and territorial law makers for the protection and hus banding of thu timber and enforcement of the legal provisions adopted to that cud. The careful attention Commis sioner Groff 1ms devoted 1o this subject gives his views as to what legislation Is desirable and necessary the very highest value , IT AT TIIK 1'OLt.S , Remember today tlio pavtytbnt. pen sioned the soldiers of the union. Remember the parly Unit gave the homestead law to the settlers of the west , Remember the party that admitted the new states to their rights and priv ilege * under the constitution. Remember the party that passed the silver bill. Remember the party that protects American labor against the assaults of democrats and Europeans. Remember the party tlmt Is opening the markets of South America to the western farmer. Remember the party that has con tributed so largely to the growth and" prosperity of the west Remember the party of Abraham Lincoln , James A , Gnrficld and James G. Dlaine. THE LKOlSLATtriJ 1'ICKBT. Tlio republican legislative ticket in Douglas county ought to bo elected , There are several co'gent and conclusive reasons for this. Tlio republican candidates are as a whole much superior to the democratic candidates. They are in a larger de gree representatives of the intelligence and the aspirations of this community. They have a better knowledge of the requirements of Omaha and the county nnd they nro bolter qualified to advocate the interests of this section. The next legislature will undoubtedly bo controlled by the republicans , nnd it is obviously imuortant that this county shall bo represented by men in political sympathy with the majority. Demo cratic representatives could accomplish /cry little for Douglas county in a re publican legislature. There nro matters vital to 'Omaha which will bo presented to the next cgislaturo , nnd wo want men there ivith the intelligence and influ ence to properly support measures required - quirod by this city and county. The republican candidates are fully qualified o do this. They aro.familiar with the ivishes of our people , they are all inter ested in the wrogrcss of Omaha , and most of thorn have had experience in : mblic alfairs. They nro generally well < nown to the republicans of the state , uivo the respect and confidence of the party wherever they are known , and ivill exert an influence accordingly. RKClPltOOITl' OH UUIX. The appeal of tlio sugar Interest of uba to the Spanish govcrmncnt in bo- inlf of reciprocity with tlio United States ; ma boon followed by a similar petition rom the tobacco growers and cigar man ufacturers. This interest , a very largo ind important ono , is e'cn more urgent n asking for reciprocity than the sugar ntercst. The petitioners nssevt that , hey nro confronted with a simple prob- om on Iho ono side ruin , stagnation , misery and vnguo hopes , and on the other side abundance , wealth and a prom ising futuro. They do not regard it at all strange that the United Statesshould desire to pay for vrhnt it buys of Cuba with products of its own which Cubans must have. They understand that while wo lalco their products to the amount of moro than fifty million dollars annually 'ind sell to thorn less than ore-fourth of this amount , it is a one-sided trade which this country cannot reasonably bo ex pected to continue if there is a practica ble way to bring about a neaiw equal ity in the transactions. Wo pro duce pretty much .everything that Cuba requires , and it is legitimate to ask the people of that island to deal ns liberally with us , in proportion to their needs , as wo deal with them. Whatever the Spanish government may think of this , and its judgment is likely to bo largely influenced by the condition of its treas ury , it is evident that the Cuban sugar and tobacco growers think this country fully justified In its position. They look with undisguised apprehension to the possibility of the United States market being closed against them , and without reserve confess that they would suitor to tin extent that cannot bo overestimated. After stating the consequences that would MISUO from closing the American market , they say : "It is necessary to avoid so much harm and ward oil such calamities , and wo find no otnor way but a commercial treaty with the United States accepting the reciprocity that our neighbors propose. " They urge that there is no thno to lese in making a treaty , because the crisis that threatens is ' 'terrible , imminent , and its conso- qtionces embrace very serious dangers , " There has been no enthusiasm regarding the probable course of the Span ish government toward these appeals. It has been stated to bo the view of that go\eminent that It could not make a re ciprocity treaty with the United States without violating the "most favored na tion" clause in its treaties with other countries , but against this position is the fact that It did negotiate tueh a treaty with this country some years ago , which the senate refused to ratify. Its later view Is doubtless duo to English Influence. At nny rate tlio Cuban people are thoroughly aroused to the serious na ture of the situation , and they will not complacently rogai-d any pretexts or subterfuges by which the Spanish gov ernment may attempt , to avoid the do- mnnd they make upon it for the protec tion ot their interests from disaster. ; lf it rejects their appeal it nuiy again have to defend its authority over the island by force of arms , and under circum stances in which the Cubans would bo very likely tp find support not before given them. or axt The people of Omaha , relying on the sturdy common seuso of n majority of voters to defeat the amendment , have not given a bcrlous thought to the Im- mudlulo consequence of its adoption. Suppose prohibition becomes a part of the organic law , what will bo the re sult ? Ab soon as the state board of canvassers - vassers certifies to a majority in favor of the amendment , it becomes a part of the constitution without further action. The Slocumb law becomes a dead letter. Llcenao ceases and every man Is ut lib erty to bccoTno-n soltlcd or perambulating Niloon. Tlio tunondcd constlullou cannot enforce Itstjlf. , , Tlio legislature- must pass n law providing penalties. With the gro'-'cst possible expedition nn em ergency net tfould not bo passed and ap proved vlthfjJlhlrtydnyB. But there Is no likelihood tlmt a prohibition major ity will bo hftd In the coming legisla ture , so llin tljo state would bo without ndo iuato laws to protect itself from an- erehy. It took Michigan thrco years to secure legislation enforcing tbo prohibi tory amendment. It would tnko Ne braska two years nnd tliruo months to se cure the necessary legislation should the amendment carry. Meanwhile the twin ovlls of prohibition agitators and freo'whisky would hold high carnival in the staAo , substituting outlawry , dissipation and disastrous strlfo for peace , prosperity nnd contentment. The adoption of the amendment Is fraught with another evil , the consequences quences of which strike nt every homo In the state. - The abolition of license would take from the school treasury of this city on the first of January a quar ter of a million dollars , The moans available for the schools at the present thno is barely sufficient to maintain them to the first of the year , nnd having no resources beyond that thno , the schools would bo compelled to close , un less the teachers and janitors volunteer their services for six months. The money could not bo raised by taxation before the first of June , nnd It is exceedingly doubtful whether the council would consent to a radical increase of Iho levy for school purposes. What is true of Omaha and its schools applies with equal force to every city and town in the stato. The defeat of the amendment is essential to the mainte nance of the schools , the preservation of the state from a reign of frco rum , nnd the protection of the people from the nerccnnry hoi-do of agitators whom the almighty dollar indicts upon the people. AN APPEAL TO OMAJIA. There are two questions to bo decided oday which are vital to the welfare nnd prosperity of Omaha. Upon the defeat of prohibition nnd the election of a congressman who can ren- iler effective service in scouring desired mprovemonts will turn to a very largo degree the prosperity of this city for the next two years. Under the reapportionment tionment soon to bo made , Omaha will practically bo n congressional district by itself. Until that timoOmaha should rotntn her present clliclent representa tive. tive.Two Two years hence , when the nominees of both parlies are Omaha mon , the nhoico of a representative may then bo made on party linos. The situation at the present time is different , and the question is now one of urgent solf-intor est and self-protection rather than of party supremacy , Two candidates are before the people , Mr. Connell of Omaha and Mr. Bryan of Lincoln. Mr. Council for many yours has been identified with the growth nnd development of this city. As city attorney ho rendered most , effective and valuable uablo services by his successful defense of damage suits and in framing the present < city charter under which our extensive system of public Improvements has been carried forward. As a member of the present congress ho has done excellent work and has now reached a position to moro effectively serve the people of his district. To re turn to Washington without the influ ence which a re-election would give , would handicap him in every effort for the people ho represents. It is well known that favors in congress are largely granted in consideration of others expected to bo returned. It is now ft sort of turning point with Omaha. "With prohibition defeated , can wo se cure the additional anproprintion dcsirod for the new postolllco ? Can we secure a mint ? Can tlio appropriation for new Fort Omaha bo obtained ? These are vital questions and of moro importance to Omaha than the republicanism or de mocracy of the representative. "What could Mr. Bryan , if elected , ac complish for Omaha or oven lor Lincoln ? IIo is lacking in experience nnd unfamil iar with legislation. Ho could secure no favors from the present administration , and at the close of ono term in congress would snap his fingers at Omaha men , democrats as well as republicans , not having any further use for either , owing to Omaha and Lincoln being no longer in the same congressional district. On the contrary all of Mr. Connoll's Interests are hero and it Is to Omaha ho must look for future support , The voters in Omaha without regard to politics must stand by him. Their own welfare and the prosperity of Omaha demands it. * AN IZLUSTKATED . The democrats have boon bonding out a striking illustrated fallacy between tlio pages of their country newspapers for the past month. On Saturday the picuiro occupied a full front page of the St. Louis JlepiiLUc nnd a fraud BO con spicuously displayed may expect to bo punctured. The picture isntended , ) to vividly Im press the laboring , man with the notion that ho is taxed to-doath. It shows that ho rises in the morning nnd puts on a shirt , "taxed oner , hundred per cent , " trousers "tnxejljrone hundred and ton percent , " shoos/&ixod twonty-flvo per cent , " and so on-through all his and his wife's wardrobe , the food they oat , the kitchen'and ' table utensils they use , Clio bed they rest on and the sheet they pull over tlfpjn. Finally these poor mortals rest in aiiAmtuxod grave , whllo their friends ere cti a tombstone that is "taxed Blxty-oIgbtiPor cent. " All these things nro represented by a eorlos of pen and ink sketches to bring them within the comprehension of the nvorngo domocratlc voter. But the picture goes too far ; It shows in its center nn illustration that is fatal to Its logic. This is a picture of a horde of foreign workmen , clad in miserable rags and bearing evidonres of grinding poverty in half-starved faces. Under this remarkable drawing are the words , ' 'Imported labor , not taxed , deprives him of work and wages. " Will the domocratlc editors Inform their readers how it happens that the "untaxcd labor of Eurojxj" wears rugt ; , while the protected workman of America dresses In clothes which , according to their own artist , would look well on any fashion plate ? "Will they explain why tlio ulfo of the tmtnxod European laborer is landing from tlio stoumor in the picture with a pack on her head , whllo the wlfo of the protected Amor- lean is making now dresses for her children on a sowing ma- chlno "taxed forty-five per cent ? " If the tariff IB iv tax , with no compensating advantages , why are the foreigners coming hero at all to share in conditions which the democratic editor nnd artist depict In such discouraging colors ? The illustrated campaign fal lacy tears Us own refutation on its face. If the democrats want the laboring mon of America to look only at results , without reference to rcnspnor argument , lot them draw n picture of the homo of the European workman beside the homo of the American ; let them show by reproductions from actual lifo , the clothes that are worn by workmen on tills and the other side of the eeir lot them compare the 'Haxed carpets" of Iho American with the sanded floors of Eng land nnd the floors in Ireland that lack oven the sand ; let them present the "taxed roast beef of this country with the untaxcd black bread of the old world. The ono sufficient nnd unasworablo reply to the democratic campaign picture is the monumental fact that the American laborer lives better , dresses better and gives his children a bettor education nnd larger opportunities than the laboring man in any other country on the globe. OWING to the largo number of candi dates on the various tickets , ns well as the mixed and bogus tickets which will bo circulated , voters are liable to bo confused. This is particularly true of the legislative and county tickets ? : Only thrco senators , iiino representatives and two commissioners can bo voted for. The addition of ono or moro names to either of these vitiates the voto. Great cnro must bo taken to prevent mistakes of this kind. Every ballot must bo straight and legal , especially so because the bal lot carries with it the voter's sentiment on the prohibitory amendment. EVHHY employer who can possibly dose so shouUHnduco his men to vote before noon. Hundreds of citizens will lese their votes if they put the duty off till afternoon or evening. Some of our voting places have over a thousand voters registered , and the ballots must bo cast steadily and rapidly from 8 o'clock in the morning to 0 o'clock in the evening , in order that the full vote maybe bo polled. TIIK Bm : urges citizens of Omaha and Douglas county , ns they value their homes , the honor of the city and its future prosperity , to rally at the polls at 8 o'clock and cast their ballots at the earliest practicable moment. Prompt and steady voting is imperative to prevent a rush at the closing hours and the inevitable disfranchi&oment of hun dreds of voters. DOUGLAS county republicans should stand byRichnrds.

Mr. Connell has already done good work ntul 10 Is now In a position to render more effect- vo service In the future. It would bo the wildest sort of folly to now exchange him for the young mon of gab rc Iiilng at Lincoln , who with the administration against him vould not bo able to accomplish any thing for Omaha or any other part of the district. The clap'trnp of \Vorld-Ilernldregnrd- - tig the position of Mr. Council with reference to prohibition will deceive no one. Mr. Con nell has been n resident of Omaha for twenty years.

The closing scene of the Joint debate be tween Connell and Ilryan nt Syracuse has caused undisguised disgust among many of Iho Otoo county citizens. A special train from Lincoln convoyed a largo number of whoopers and yellcrs for Bryan who made a common miisnuce of themselves and finally turned what was to be a friendly Joint discus sion Into a party glorification for Air.
