Either McMillan or Bynum is more

cation which Mr. llryan considers supreme
1 promo nnd which was doubtless the in
splratlon of this feeble call for his olova

SLOrt'IffO OVKtt.
Our esteemed doublo-bnrrollod conlom'
> orarv expresses the hope thnt W. J.
Bryan "may bo BO fortunate ns to bo
numcd n member of the ways and means
committee1 of the next house , " In which It
ircdicts that "ho will win nittloiuvl fume
and a statesman's standing. " Young
Mr. Bryan is about rvs llkoly to bo chosen
; o succeed Tom Heed an to bo solcctod to
occupy a chair around the table of the
greatest nnd most Important cotnmlltoc1
ot the house. The house of roprosenta-
, lves will contain nearly n hundred nnd
fifty democrats with prior claims to such
recognition claims based on long con
gressional service , legislative schooling ,
political prominence in party councils or
lomo celebrity duo to cnorgotlo labor
'or democracy in the past. Even if it
: md not been the custom to select for
such vnciuiclc.i as might occur on the
, vaya and means committee the most dis-
-Ingulnhcd congressmen best fitted for
.ts arduous duties , young Mr. Bryan's
; otal lack of general knowledge of legis-
.atlvo procedure and his especial igno
rance of the details of framing the most
intricate piece of legislation which comes
joforo congress would preclude the pos
sibility of bis iippoltitmcnt.
Long service in the house has been by
invariable vulo the prerequisite to choice
on the ways and means committee. Of
Lho five democratic members of the com
mittee as organized at the opening of
Lho present congress , Mr. Mills had boon
olcclod tonino successive congressesMr.
arlislo to seven , Mr. McMillcn to six ,
Mr. Brccklnrldgo to tlirco and Mr.
Flower to two. In the Fiftieth congress ,
when the democrats were in control , tUo
same rule obtained as It has for twenty
yesars. In the Fifty-second congress it
Is probable that the committee will cent -
t i.in eight democrats and five ropubli-
cin.j. Of the eight democrats tlio flvo
now upou the committco will certainly
bo tendered , according to custom , their
old plages. Tills would leave three seats
to bo filled from the inoro than two hun
dred and odd democrats and alliance
men who will bo clamoring for recogni
tion , Mr. Bryan is very likely to flnd
himself lost in the shufllo.
It would be well for the congressman-
olcct from the First district in the inter
val which will clapso before ho takes his
Boat to study modesty of anticipation ,
Congress Is a very largo body. It con-
lainsnt every session scores of now momi
hers whose delighted constituents
consider them the peer of the ablest
statesmen who have over entranced lis
tening galleries. The number of now
congressmen who achieve even the dis
tinction of a nownpapor paragraph dur
ing their first term is not largo. These
who astonish the country by their
brilliancy Is even small. Ser
vice nlono brings opportunity
nnd the new members find at the close
of a session thnt the most difficult thing
to attract in Washington is the oyooEtho
speaker and next to that the car of the
houso. Mr. Brynnis not likely to have an
experience greatly difforsnt from his pre
decessors. The nullity to talk is not very
highly prized on the floor of the
houso. Itis too common and there are too
many talkers. The ability to command
respect through natural talents ripened
by legislative experience and matured
through arduous study of national prob
lems is still inoro rare. For this JJr.
Bryan should strive. His friends , who
nro just now filling Ills ears with predictions -
dictions of tlio impossible In the imme
diate future , will do him good service if
they point him to the only sure road to
reach the goals of homo olflcloncy and
national celebrity. All talk ot his selec
tion ns n member of the greatest of the
house committees is the veriest bosh.
Just at present Mr. Bryan Is incidentally
prominent oivmg to thirteen thousand
votes cast for Alien Root. Ho will
bo among far different surroundings
when the Fifty-second congress begins
its struggle with the question of organi
zation and its speaker Is wrestling with
the problem of filling the committees.
When the menagerie has quieted down
and the animals have boon fed , young
Mr. Brytin is likely to flnd himself like
the majority ot his now associates satis
fied with places on two small committees
of neither of which ho will bo chairman.
And whoa the session closes ho may well
fool himself lucky if after many desperate -
porato efforts to make the greatest effort
of his llfo ho has obtained leave to print
the elongated remainder of a couple ol
five minute suecchcs in tlio pages of the
expanded and illusive liecord.
OUR GROJrf.VG St7C7.UE INDUSTRY.
The manufacture of boot sugar is an
established Industry in Nebraska.
There could bo no better evidence of the
success of tno Grand Island experiment
than the announcement , contained in
yesterday's BEE , that the owners had
agreed to begin at once upon the erec
tion of still larger works at Norfolk , to
bo In complete operation by October 1 ,
1891.
1891.This
This is an occasion for hearty congrat
ulation to the people of Norfolk , who
have won their prize in competition
with every enterprising city in Ne
braska. But it is of still inoro signifi
cance to the state as a whole , because it
proclaims the fact thathoro In Nebraska
exports have discovered and capitalists
have approved the host soil and
clhnato in the United States for
the culture of the sugar boot. This
moans much to all classes of our popula
tion. It will stimulate business both in
town and country , will attract people ol
capital nnd. will make this the most
promising of the agricultural states. A
splendid outgrowth of now and profit
able industries may bo expected to come
naturally from the successful establish
ment pf sugar factories and refineries.
When It is known thnt the experi
ments in Nebraska have been so success
ful as to command the full confldonco ol
the sugar manufacturers , and that six
hundred factories as largo ns that at
Grand Island would ba required to sim
ply the raw sugar now annually Im
ported Into the United States , it is plain
that wo have begun hero the development
of an Industry of enormous proportions.
There is but ono problem connected
with the sugar boot business remaining
unsolved. This Is the degree of profit
which it will confer upon farmers. The
boot can undoubtedly bo successfully
grown if the return is sufficient , to com
pensate the farmer for the labor anil
Uiuo it Involves. Tim BEE has boon in
formed , on excellent mithorjty , thnt
Hall county fnrmors nro not satisfied
with the amount received for their first
year's product , and that the results In
this respect have boon disappointing.
Tills is probably because It was an ex
perimental year with manufacturers and
farmers.
Tlio manufactured product Is very sat
isfactory and commands n ready sale.
Now , If the industry can bo innilo as
profitable to the men who cultivate the
boot as to all * ether interested parties ,
the now business will fulfill every high
hope It has raised.
THK JMCr AttOUT NKKSOLAND. \ } .
No phase of the recent election has excited -
cited more comment and surprise than
the fact that Iho four Now England
stales voting on November 4 wont demo
cratic. In September Vermont also
showed largo democratic gains , and
Mnino alone has hold the republican
banuor at the old altitude.
No ono familiar with the changing
character of Now England's social and
political institutions will bo Burnrlscd ,
however , at these results. The fact is
that for the past ten years two forces
hnvo boon nt work which were btiro to
accomplish this oiToct sooner or later.
These two forces operate on opposite
classes of society , but drive thorn along
in the same direction.
First , thcro is a constant outflowing
and incoming qf old nnel now population
in the six historic little states.
The population that flows out
Is very largely republican scions
of tbo old stock pushing on to now nnd
broader fields In the west nnd south.
The incoming tide brings a class of la
borers and homoseokors , largely Irish
and Canadian , who naturally affiliate
with the democratic party. This force
has boon slowly sapping the strength of
republicanism and building up that of
democracy for years ,
The other element in the result acts
upon what Now England loves to call
her "bolter people. " It dates back no
further than 1884 , when the mugwump
was evolved from a republicanism that
opposed Bluino because ho was the Idol of
the common pooplo. It is from this class
that most of the now and successful lead
ers of Now England's swelling democ
racy have eomo.
These are the real facts about the cnso
of New England. Jt Is still republican
territory in a presidential election , but
will'not long continue to bo unless the
grand old party takes up Issues capable
of rallying Its old strength and dividing
the ranks of its enemies.
TUB JIOKETAttY SITUATION.
The financial stress in Now York has
boon somewhat relieved and ills believed
that the danger of a serious monetary
crisis has boon averted. The trouble ,
which for several days has caused great
anxiety in eastern financial circles , had
its origin in London , where an extraordi
nary demand for money compelled the
Bunk of England to make an exceptional
advance of its discount rato. It is very
rare that this rate goes to six per cent ,
as It has just donoand the fact Is evidence
of a most unusual pressure for money.
The drain , it appears , has boon largely on
South American nccount , and it cannot
bo certainly predicted whan this will end ,
so that there is reasonable ground for
apprehension that tlio stringency may bo
prolonged. There is a very
unfortunate state of financial
affairs in the South American
countries , where largo amounts of British
capital are invested , and before a read
justment can bo reached the strain upon
the London market is llkoly to continuo
severe. But the resources available to
that market are already bolng called in ,
the dispatches reporting heavy remit
tances from the continent Still the Lon
don money market is in a very feverish
and unsettled condition , nnd it Is quito
possible thnt the situation may bo worse
before It is bottor.
The serious phase of the matter for
this country is the inability of the treas
ury department to render much assist
ance to the money market. The secretary
of the treasury has authorized assistant
treasurers to receive deposits of funds
from bankers desiring to transfer the
same by telegraph to the assistant treas
urer at Now York , and this will doubtless -
loss give some relief , but the national
treasury has no money nt command
which it can plnco in the market , and
while it Is still prepared to redeem four
and n half per conf bonds , relief from
this source is too slow to amount to
much. The action of the Now York'
clearing house in issuing cortlfioatos
available In the Bottlomon't of balances
was a remedial measure which produced
a good effect in relieving the apprehen
sion of a bank panic.
The indications are that the worst
has boon experienced , hut a great deal
depends upon the course of the London
market , and the complications there
would seem to bo sorious. The disturb
ance Is not llkoly to bo felt to any great
extent in this section , though of course
if It should bo prolonged wo can not
wholly escape the consequences. At
present , however , the local monetary
situation is represented by bankers to
bo very satisfactory , and no npprohon-
sion is felt regarding the immediate f ut-
uro. The suggestion that the result of
the latu elections is in any degree ro-
sponslblo for the disturbance 'loos not
appear to have any substantial found
ation. The fact that ono political mu-ty
has lost and another galnod control ol
ono branch of congress has no such sig
nificance as to create a financial flurry In
two continents.
AT the. capital of Ohio there will assemble -
somblo today a remarkable birthday
party in honor of ox-Sonator Alien G.
Thurman. The ovcnt is notable chiolly
for the wiord variety of political pat
riots which it brings together. Tlio
surroundings are certainly- auspicious
for a gonulno JoITorsonlan blow-out ,
barring the simplicity. Tlio loaves and
fishes _ nro uncommonly numerous and
the horizon of democratic hope Is sulii
clontly lurid to excite wild flights of
fancy and voluble discourse. Tlio great
est taot will bo necessary to maintain
harmony nt the festive board , and
the skill of the Bandanna club
will Ira taxed to the utmost if
all the invited patriots assemble.
Cleveland will bo there , flushed with the
nomination of the Loudou Wines. David
13. Hill , with Ilia mnntlo of Tammany on
his shoulders MYl Its tomahawk tucked
away In his be > lI , } # booked for a prominent
Boat , thus bringing two rival aspirants
for the prnsldbn&y Into dangerous prox
imity. The flrfct represents theoretical
democracy , thd'lnttor ' the practical eldo ,
yet the former1 maintains a strong hold
on the party affections , nnd should ho
receive the u tal democratic homage
the nursling of Qhnrloy Dana will flnd It
dilllcult to control himself. Undo Joe
McDonald , who was snuffed out by
Cleveland at tlio holiest of Hondrlcks ,
Is expected to doff his grave clothes ,
while Gray and 'Voorhoos , whoso com
bined love for Cleveland would not
strain the eye of a cambric needle , will
lend variety nnd dignity to the occasion.
In addition there will bo Palmer ol Illi
nois and Cnrupboll of Ohio , both anxious
for pnjsldontial lightning , nnd ttioso
distinguished accidental triplets Patti-
6on , Boles and Boyd. The gathering
will bo truly representative of the varie
gated hopus of democracy and will af
ford the public a composite view of the
physical nnd mental strength of the
party leadership.
TJIB annual convention of the Knights
of Labor , now in session in Denver , Is1
nothing more than the skeleton of a
once mighty organization. But two
hundred delegates are now present. The
empire west of the lakes , comprising
three-fifths of the nation , is represented
by seventeen delogntcs. Nebraska is
conspicuous by its absence , while Now
York , Now Jersey , Pennsylvania and
Canada monopolize sovcn-tonths of the
dolomites. The decline of this noble
order is primarily duo to nn ovordosoof
Powdorly. From a powerful organiza
tion , once numbering a million toilers of
both sexes , nnd capable of accomplish
ing permanent good for the cause of
labor , it has virtually become a shadow
of its former self and Is today Hold together -
gothor solely to furnish a luxurious liv
ing for the members of the executive
committco. But the real cause of labor
has not suffered. On the contrary , now
and more compact organizations are rls-
incr from the ruins of the knights ,
founded on the roclc of the common good
and rigidly excluding political mer
cenaries and bogus agitators.
THE fact that there is a consensus of'
opinion among army officers In favor of
the government adopting an efficient
system of const defense ought to have
great influence with congress and the
country. In his annual report General
Schoflold emphasizes the suggestions
nnd recommendations made by General
Howard regarding coast defense , and
other military officers have urged the
necessity of providing for the defense of
our great senpbrts , now wholly exposed.
The government has entered upon the
construction of'an adequate fleet of battleships -
tlo-ships , but military mon insist that in
order lo.rondor our seaports absolutely
secure they mu'st to fortified , and their
concurrence ns'to this can only bo re
garded as conclusive. The present con
gress should certainly give this matter
some attentlon.'but the difficulty is that
thor' appropriations for othorouurposos
are so largo" tlfat ' coast defense may have
to wait.

Tammany hall's victory In Now York City
is attributed to nil sortaof causes , chief
nmongwhlcU was the cunning usoiimdoby
Tain many there as by republicans elsewhere
of national Issues. Now York Is a pivotal
state , nnd by representing that a local defeat
of democrats now would result In n republi
can victory In I8S2 votes wcro secured for
Grant thnt would have been cast against him
If.tho partisan feeling had been absent , The
drugging of the tariff nnd other national Issues -

for a great deal o ( corruption nnd bad govern

The pcplo won't stand this additional taxa
tion , nnd this general uprising shows it to bo
a fact. A party cannot expect success , with
the country In its present condition , by advo

the republican party can only retrieve its re
verses by a radical modification of the law

action , ns the republican congressmen must
do It before their terms of office expire. Tncy
made a mistake , and they ought to admit it.
Now that they understand the wishes of the
people they ought to pass a law In accordance
with these wishes. As far as I am personally
concerned , I am opposed to thoMcKinloy bill ,
or any other measure which favors the east
and Injures the west. "
STHUCK. 1'itoniJtiTJox :
Paxton Republican : Hero Is long Hfo and
prosperity to Hon. Edward Itosowator and
Mr. Webster , who have proved that they nro
a power In the laud.
Hastings Ncbraskan : The defeat of pro
hibition In this state is duo principally to a
largo conservative.lilcinont that believed the
peace nnd prosperity of the state would bo
bostsubsurvcd by retaining- the present law
on our statute hooks. The coflln business in
the procession last night was a feature of the
affair that seemed to. bo carrying matters n
little too far. Prohibition Is defeated nnd It
la well tolot the mailer alone.
Mtnden Democrat : Prohibition bos been
defeated by anoverwhelniliiB majority. Ithns
usually been claimed by Its advocates In Ne
braska that if left to the country and small
town voters the question would carry for
prohibition. It was charged that the larger
cities were so corrupt that the country dis
tricts stood no show In bringing about a re
form of this kind. In looking over the vote
of the stuto on this question wo find , however -
over , that prohibition was defeated without
counting the votes of Oninha , Lincoln , Platts-
mouth , Hastings , Grand Island and Kearney.
Verily , the cities nro not the only places that
vote against prohibition.
Callnwny Courier : Ono cause of the over
whelming defeat of m-ohlbitlon nt the lute
election can bo traced directly to the circula
tion of the crnry prohibition organs , of which
the Now York Voleo is a shining example.
The scurrilous defamation of Nebraska and
her cities scattered broadcast by this vllo
sheet , made more anti-prohibition votes than
the combined efforts of Ilosewator , Roggcu
nnd Webster. The low-down contemptible
trick played upon the local papers of Ne
braska by this prohlbltlon-for-rovenuo-only
organ turned' nearly every ono of them
against a cause wnleh they might otherwise
have advocated. . For downright jackassery
the chronlo prohibitionist takes the cnko.
Crawford Clipper : The question of prohi
bition as a national measure Is virtually
ended. Within the past three years ton of
our sister states In which the question has
boon submitted have cast majorltioi against
it aggregating half a million votes. These
states are Texas , Tennessee. Oregon , Now
Hampshire , Connecticut , Massachusetts ,
Michigan , West Virginia , Pennsylvania and
HhoJo Island , and each one has been sub
jected to a thorough and systematic cam
paign , notwithstanding which , the license
law has won by tmndsoino majorities in
every Instance. Nebraska was recognteod by
those mistaken mortals ns the last , hope , the
lost stronghold , .situated as she was between
four weak sisters who have put on the cloak
and are struggling with a law that is con
trary to reason and Americanism. They con
centrated their forces , Imported dozens of
world renowned speakers , flooded the state
with prohibition literature , bought news
papers and spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars to capture this , the last forlorn hope ,
only to ho snowed under -10,000 deep , This Is
the death knell to prohibition.
STATE -ELEVMOX EVJIOKS.
Kearney Journal-Enterprise : It wnsnot
the McICInloy bill as much ns it was tbo do-
slro to "yell , " which caused the defeat of tbo
republican party.
Crolghton Courier : Bunkum , Bosslsm
and Boodle must go out of business In the re
publican party in Nebraska , or the party
must go out of business.
Nebraska City News : When Church Howe
and John Watson meet la the next house of
representatives they will probably shako
hands "ncross the bloody chasm" and rcm.irk
that there are only a few of us loft.
Crawford Clipper : Kern's advice to tlio
farmers to sow a little politics along with
their other crops returned some ton , some
fifty and omo an hundred fold to his vote In
the Dig Third. But ICcm'a success cannot
bo attributed alone to the advlco ho gnvo so *
freely. In a great measure it was duo to the
worx of dissatisfied republicans who allowed
their personal feeling ugalnst Mr. Dorsoy to
outweigh their Oe.tlro for tlio success of re
publican principles and a continuance of re
publican politics , That was what elected O.
M. Kom.

HA10E1) A OA.MI1MNO. DEK.
The gambling place above the Ivy Leaf
saloon on North Tenth street was doing n
very good business last night , nnd was
crowded with suckers when Marshal Mollck ,
Dotectlvo Mnlono and Sergeant Otto made u
raid on the place about 11 o'clock. Some
difficulty was experienced In getting Into tbo
room by tlio olUcors , nnd by the tlmo they
gatnod entrance the ranjorlty of the crowd
hnd escaped through the sltyllght. Two re
mained behind , Frank Burns and Harry
Sloan , who pretended to bo farmers , but who
nro alleged to bo really tinhorn gamblers , and
may bo seen loafing on Tenth street every
day. They were taken to the station , but
soon nftcrwurils released on ball , and this
morning cheerfully paid tho'fluo of $10 nnd
costs levied against them.
This afternoon it was learned that the fel
lows who escaped through the skylight onto
the roof of the third story lumped from that
height to the roof of n two-story building
south of the Quick block. The back part of
that building Is only one story high acd on
making another leap the fugitives made their
way to the rear of the structure , where they
slid down a tree and reached terra flrma.
IT IS FHOnAIILY LOST.
The nnnuncoment In Tun Br.c this morning -
ing of the possible failure of the amendment
to pass providing for nn Increase In the num
ber of supreme Judges has created consUlrra-
blo surprise. Sixty out of the ninety counties -
ties hnvo boon hoard from and ttio votes for
that nmendlnont are still greatly In the mi
nority. In glancing over the table of returns
in the ofilco of the secretary of state It Is no
ticeable that In the counties whnro Powers
polled his greatest number of votes , the votes
against the increased judiciary amendment
are greatest. It Is not known hero whether
this is merely a coincidence or whether the
farmers In these sections secretly voted
against the amendment. The attorneys of
Lincoln universally hope that the counties
yet to bo heard from will roll upauufllclont
number of votes for the Increased Judiciary
amendment to make it carry.
