Such talk is nrrniit folly and discred
itable alike to the nlvte : and the parties
whom Ihoso "loaders" claim to repre
sent. It 1ms no counterpart In tlio feel
ing of the people an a whole , nor in that
of the rank and fllo of the

The governorship will bo settled
in the manner provided by tlio constitu
tion and all citizens will nbldu the re
sult. Our government Is a government
of law , and not of force. Our lawmakers
should bo entirely free from bulldozing
or any pressure that would prevent the
free oxorclso of their functions as repre
sentatives of the people.
The legislature will convene next
Tuesday and organize the two housos.
The llrst business in order ( .will bo the

iiml conducting tlio canvass devolves
upon tlio speaker of the house. When

ing the highest number of votes for each
respective olllco will bo declared olcctcd.
The issues involved In tlio pending con-
lost against the governor and state olll-
fora will bo hoard nnd determined
by the legislature at a future
date hot apart by law for that purpose.
That is the mandate of the constitution.
If thorn is any question as to the eligi
bility of James E. Uoyd for any reason ,
the t'ourts will bo called upon to docldo
it , and again all parties at interest will
abldo the decision.
It is ridiculous for anybody to pretend
that the governorship will bo settled in
the manner that potty Central American
republics settle tholr political differ
ences , or that wo are to have in No-
hr'iskti a dual state government and a
linal settlement by force , after the fash
ion that once prevailed in South Care

litical passions could over run high
enough in Nebraska to drift the people
away from the constitutional methods
that nro essential to the preservation of

According to latest obtainable data ,
30,000 worsens enjoy lucrative incomes
out of the pensions granted to survivors
of tlio rebellion and previous wars. In
other words , the bonoliconco of the gov
ernment toward deserving soldiers ana
Bailers and their dependents has created
an army of pension agents greater than
the military roster of the nation , and
their exactions are at once a scandal to
the government and nu outrage on the
veterans of tbo war.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Glolic-
Democrat has made an exhaustive inves
tigation of the origin , development and
profits of pension claim agents and pro
duced astonishing statistics. The records
of the pension olllco show that since 1SG2
477-182 claims have boon allowed , upon
each of which tbo attorney collected $23 ,
the fco allowed by law. From
this source alonothoy reaped $11,1)37,030. )
But this is not all. Out of increased
claims allowed , to the number of 01OG6 ,
they netted $10 each , nnd a like sum
from 11,193 reissues and other claims. It
is from the increase that the great harvest
is reapedfor each advance riots the at
torneys $10 , so that in twenty-eight
years the increases gave thorn profits of
from' $12,000,000 to 815,000,000. The fees
derived from other pension sources
swell the total profits of the attorneys
since the war to $37,000,000. That is to
say , out of the $1,000,000,000 paid the
survivors of the war , ono twenty-seventh
part wont into the pockets of the pension
sharks.
The fut frying does not end horo. Tn
fact , the business ia in n moro nourishing :
condition today 'ban ' over boforo. Tlio
dependent pension bill will , if all claims
( lied uro allowed , yield thorn in fees
So.MO.OOO. Original invalid claims 011
llio will yield $5,000,000 moro. Fees on
increase claims now on iilo , nntl on the
cell muled number of increases under llio
law of .Tune 27 , 1890 , will swell Iho total
to $21,800,000. At llio present rate of
progress all claims now on fllo will bo
adjusted within four years , so that tbo
M,000 ) pension agents will in tlml litno
"earn" $21,800,000 , or 8711,000 annually ,
cqunl lo $23,700 , each per annum.
Thin outrageous robbery is localized
by Iho government and Iho bonollolnrius
are growingboleler and moro dofiun to very
day. An instance lias yet lo bo found
where a veteran of the war has grown
rich on the nation's bounty. Yet hero
ia a constanlly increasing nnnv of pen
sion claim agents growing opulent on a
species of robbery sanctioned by law.
It is time the government put an end
to tliis fruitful source of Bcandnl and job
bery , and entirely abolished the fee sys-
loin. It is an outrage on the veterans [ af
the war to give legal sanction to tlio
exactions of the pension sharks.

General Miles has again urged the in
terior douartment to replace the present
Indian agents at five points in Soulh
Dakota with five well known % anny II3t
cors. The suggestion will hardly moot
with favor. Grave objections will bo
urged against it whenever it is consid
ered.
The army and the Indians havo'never
formed a happy combination , The de
mands of humanity and the enlightened
Hplrit of the ago are for the systematic
education of tiio Indian and the asbim-
ilation of civilization. If Indian warfare -
faro is over to stop short of the extermi
nation of the red man the result must bo

the school , the farm and the ranch.

The government Is already spending over
91,800,000 n year to > make the Indians
useful citizens ami safe neighbor * . Wo
must undoubtedly go forward with the
work , and the teacher and the mission
ary are the men to load it.
The chief reason why it would not bout
well to .consider the Miles suggestion at
this time , in splto of its apparent popu
larity lu congress , is that it cannot yet
bo known what now conditions the pros-
enl deplorable war will put upon heir

iiil rule will bo n nocosdty for some tlmo

I followed by the withdrawal , of Iho
troops , Iho confinement of the Incor
rigible Uoslllos nnd tlio ro-osttiblUhmont
of the agencies of uonco.
Ono thing , however , ia absolutely es
sential. This Is that the govonnuonl
should uncertain by a lliorough invostt-
gallon how the Indians have boon

this present Iroublo wo shall nt Icasl

It is the duty of the state government
to use every moans in Its power to allay
the panic of the settlers on the north
western frontier. More permanent in
jury to that section of the stale is to bo
feared from that cause than from actual
depredations by the Indians. Like the
panic in a theater when nn alarm is
raised , the greater danger lies in the
mad rush of llio people rnlher than In
the original cause of it.
It is stated that not loss than 2-1,000
pcoplo are now in a state of great mental
and physical distress as a result of the
Indian menace to lives and property.
They have hastily vacated their homes
in the dead of winter arid , in many cases ,
loft their horses and catllo to starve , or
to perish from cold. Tills is in a tier of
largo counties from which there has
hitherto boon no cry of distress , but un
less the panic is chocked the inevitable
result must bo a largo addition to the
number of destitute families in tlio
sparsely settled sections of the stato.
The sarno prompt and decisive action
which stamped out the organized b'indB
of catllo thieves in Koya Palm in the
spring of 1889 , and which has in the past
fo\v months done so much to avert actual
suffering in the drouth-stricken district ,
will prevent widespread calamity on the
exposed frontier.
The subject should receive the immediate -
diato attention of the authorities at
Lincoln.

The death of General Francis E. Spin
ner , who was for fourteen years from
1801 ( to 187(5 ( treasurer of the United
States . , removed ono of the men who ,
during llio perilous period of civil con-
llict , rendered invaluable service to the
country. General Spinner was in some
respects a remarkable man , but the
most honorable thing to bo said of him
is that ho was'a man of the highest in-
togrlty. A democrat before the organ
ization of the republican party , and the
recipient of political honors as such , ho
loft the democracy and became a repub
lican as soon as that party was organized
and was twice olecled to congress , where
ho did valuable service of a practical
kind.
kind.When
When the republican party came into
control of the government in 1801 Presi
dent Lincoln , on the recommendation of
Secretary Chase , appointed General
Spinner treasurer of the United Stalcst
and ho remained in that position down
to with in a few mouths of the close of
President Grant's second administration.
Ills name was a synonym for ofllcial in-
logrily and lie was known also as ono of
the most indefatigable workers in the
service of the government. While his ad-
minislralion of the affairs of the treas
ury was not marked by any tiling more
than the application of sound business
principles and the requirement of abso
lute honesty , while ho made no dashing
or brilliant ventures into the domain of
financial theories , ho was recog
nized as an able and safe finan
cier , and his suggestions always car
ried great weight with congress. His
striking signature on the greenbacks
made his autograph better known lo llio
American people than that of any man
of his timo. General Spinner had
reached the ripe ago of 83 years , and for
a year or two had boon nn invalid , suf
fering from cancer. In a letter pub
lished a short time ago ho referred in
pathetic terras to the progress of the
pitiluss malady that was gradually and
surely sapping his life , and which caused
him the most acute suffering. The pub
lic career of General Spinner was an ex
ample of olllcial integrity nnd devotion
to duty which gives his memory tlio
best possible claim to bo honored by his
countrymen.
GOVBHNOII THAYKK again appeals to
the people of Nebraska for further con
tributions to the destitute people of the
drought-stricken counties of tho'state.
The cold weather that is now upon us
should servo to give emphasis to this
appeal. Thousands of our follow citi
zens , industrious , thrifty and honest
people , are in want. They need fuel ,
clothing and food , and if these are not
provided , and promptly , too , there must
bo a great deal of stifi'oringamong them.
It would seotn that to make the moro
statement of the case would bo sufllciont
to elicit an immediate and generous re
sponse. This matter imposes upon the
prosperous people of Nebraska an im
perative duty , and it Is greatly to bo
hoped that this will bo mot with such
promptness and liberality that no further
appeals will bo necessary. It is a duty
from which wo cannot escape and there
Is , great urgency for its immodlnto per-
formanco.
Tim fact that we still have bravo sol
diers in the United States should not
escape tlio attention of the country.
Think of the gallant olllcors and men in
the Indian country who are now bearing
the hardships of a winter campaign
against the most heartless enemies that
the white man over mot. Two or threescore
score of tliom have already marched to
death , nearly every ono of them pierced
through the head by men who shot to
kill. All of thum nro in danger of tlio
same fate. They nro not inspired , like
the veterans of the civil war , by the
know ledge that they are fighting to pro-
eorvo the union. Like the men 3It
ItO
Ualaklava , they march to duty and to
death because they are loyal lo their
commanders. Tlio sickly sentimentalists
should not lese sight of those facts.

Them In Strong Terms.
In the last issue of the Central West , a ilc-
nominnl weekly pubilslicd In tuts city , ap
pears the following editorial. It should for
ever sllcnco the bigoted dofnmers of Oiuahii :
In its issue immediately after the lute
election the Now York Voice published a dis
patch from Omalm , the gist of which Is con
tained in the following extract :
"i'ho whole city is given entirely over to
the whisky mob. Ttioro is riot and bloodshed -
shod lu nearly every ivard. Men , ladles of
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union ,
nro being Insulted , mobbed , nnd driven from
the polls by the drunken rnbblo. Ministers
of the cospel are slugged , beaten , and dragged
from the polls uud compelled to llco for their
lives. "
Tliis dispatch shows upon Its fnco that it
was sent while tlio election was in progress.
It was evidently not based upon n calm and
c-omiloto [ review of the situation , aud is open
to the suspicion of being part of a precon
ceived plan to throw discredit upon the elec
tion In this city. It has Inid the foundation
of the assaults upon Omalm which have ap
peared jn religious and ether Journals.
This paper has taken occasion to say that
such representations wcro not warranted by
the facUs. The InvostlKation which has boon
conducted in this city und nt Lincoln has KUS-
tainud this opinion. A largo amount of testi
mony has been taken. A considerable part of
it , however , is worthless as evidence , unless
the recognized laws of evidence am to bo
ignored. A number of the wltncsso * testified
as to ttieir opinions , aud what they thought ,
and what they feared. The witnesses who
were so free in expressing their opinions , on
cross-cxu initiation tcstllleil to a stnto ot facts
which materially discounted the value of
their opinions. For instance , on their exami
nation in chief several witnesses declared
that the election was not a fair one , while on
cross-examination the same witnesses testi
fied that no OHO was prevented from voting as
ho saw proper.
1 ho testimony shows Hint while there were
individual Idstunci's of bail treatment , thcro
was no such state of affairs as the Voice
correspomlcnt represented. Tho- city was
not given over to the whisky mob. Tlium
was no mob , neither was there any riot.
Thcro Is not a particle of evidence that thcro
was bloodshed in any ward. Thcro is no
evidence that "ministers were slugged ,
beaten nnd dragged from the polls , " or that
niiyoni had reason to lleo for his life. More
over , there Is not n syllable of civldcnco to the
ofToct that any minister was rlddon on a rail.
That some men , and oven ladles wore in-
suHi'd , wo do not undertake ) to question.
Thcso nro the acts of a low class of mnn to
bo found In all cities. Their conduct admits
of no apology , nnd deserves the severest rep
robation.
Tlio matter of intcrfernnco with ticket pod-
illors figures nuito largely in this testimony.
It is u uoticcublo fact that every man who
claims to have experienced any ill-usngo wns
peddling tickets of all parties. Upon its face
this seems to huvo bcon a disinterested course
to pursue , but in reality It was not. For example -
ample , among1 ether tlckutti peddled by tlumi
was ono which was tieaili.-d ' Doinocrntlo
Ticket , " Below the namtw on tlio ticket
wore the words , "For the Prohibition
Amuiiiiinont , " cite. Now the stutfl conven
tion ot that party had hquarcly prououucod
against the prohibitory amendment , The an-
horb.cd ticket of that party was niniln up In
nocordanco with this declaration , Uiulor tlio
nws of Nebraskn tlio ticket so presented was
; ho only regular ticket. Of course It was tlio
any democrat who wished to vote
tor thu amend ir.ont to mibMHuto In writing
the word "for" for the word "against. " llut
iclthcrlie nor any sot of men could print n
.Icket which In u material point illlTcroil from
tlio ticket prepared by the nutliorfccd com
nltteo nf that'p'irt'y. The laws of Nebraska
recoRiilto n "regular ticket , " nnd they make
it a misdemeanor to offer a ticket which conh
lalns n printed alteration of nn.v name which
appears upon the regular ticket. In view of
llio fact that thu statute uses the plir.no
"regular ticket. " the Interpretation would
doubtless hold thnt no departure In a sub
stantial p.-irtlculnr from the regular ticket
would be ntttnlsslblo. At all events tldsonlnt
Ion was generally held , and hence all other
tickets were regarded ns bogus. Tbo faet
th.it atirh tlr-itels were circulated hxrcoly contributed -
tributod to irrltato the situation. It wns. so far
ns results wcro jotieerned , nn attempt lo misn
lead voters. Tbo caption , whh-li presumably
dcllned the character of tlio ticket , led some
votura to suppose Hint the whole ticket was
what It purported to bo , when in fuel it was
not. Thcro was no propriety or wisdom la
resorting to such tactics. It was the trick
of . u ward politician , Moro than II f teen hunt
dred votes were cast In favor of tlio ameniM
men t , mid the testimony fulls to show that
anyone experienced lll-usngo in erstlng his
vote.

peaceable chnrnctorof the election in Omaha ,
Their testimony was direct and positive ,
being based upon their own observations and
also upon their knowledge ) of previous elec
tions , nnd should carry conviction to every
fiilr-niitidod person.
It seemed strange to us that thcro nro Chris
tian people , and even ministers , who have
shown n disposition to resent any attempt to
deny or disprove those charges. The Central
West gnvu the amendment , an honest and |
consistent support while It was pending , but
it by no means follows that tt Is the duty of
this paper to countenance or endorse nil the
tactics of those who claim tq bo prohibi
tionists.Vo aim ut all times to snonk the
things that wo bullovo to be true. The com
mandment , "Thou shall not boarfnlso wltnow

spirit free from cciisoriotisne.ss , and a posi
tive reluctance to bcllevgjovll of nn individual
or community until it has been fully and Irre
futably established.

All hinds of Industries and business

fair average capacity ! J per cent anil Ills se
curity for his money nnd labor is the com

nothing left for the farmer but wind , whl < h
all in tlio post have Joined iu a-vying was Rood

This is why they have become the subjects
of odlcial ridicule hymen who onw morn pny
for ono year's salary from taxes imposed on
lubor , than a laborer i-au earn in half a life
timo. By such men the farmer is used as a
decoy , or halt , to catch the pimo and bear till
losses , and receive u very small sbaro of the
profits -when the catch is good.
Farmers nro ilomatiilni ! ' throiiBh. their
ninny organizations , sub-treasuries to tulio
the place of national hanks , and of similar nr
riitigoinont between the government and pee

This would DO Riviiiff the farmer something
