and Germany is about ready to cease

American hog.
ACCORDING to the census statistics
showing the totnl assessed valuation and
the amount per capita of the assessed
valuation , Nebraska Is the poorest
western atiito , her people paying taxes
upon 8I7-I.-1I ) each. This is loss by $25
pop capita than in 1880. IJoro la another

In the course of his speech at the reception
ception accorded him at Grand Islam
General Algor referred to the charge
that the people of Nebraska had conlom
pin ted repudiation , declaring that whnti
lie heard It ho did not believe it. Hi
had ninco talked with the people am
had learned that It was only i
Ilo circulated to Injure thorn ant
the state. General Algor told Mi
nudionco that the next duty aftot
guarding their homo was to guard
tholr credit. Such advlco may nppcat
to some to bo very commonplace , but ll
touches that which is vital to the suc
cess and prosperity of every individual
and of the community of Individual
constituting the Hlato. A people cannot
prosper , cannot have material progress ,
who attempt to repudiate , in whatever
moiisuro or by whatever moans , thoit
honest obligations. Credit , which If
but another name for Integrity , Is
absolutely necessary to the upbuild
ing of a community , and it is especially
indispensable to a now community whoso
resources of wealth are to bo developed.
All this will bo admitted without
question by intelligent man. and yet
there arc men in Nebraska today who
advocate a policy which if carried out
would seriously impair , if It did not de
stroy , the credit of the stato. General
Algor was right In denouncing as
a lie the charge that the people
of Nebraska contemplated repudiation.
The honest farmers and workingmen o (
this state have never entertained such a
thought. But it muHt be borne in mind
that a boriouB impairment of credit is
pos-tlblo without going to the extreme of
roputliation , and Nebraska has already
learned this at no small cost to her
prosperity. Proposed legislation which
contemplated a violation of con
tracts produced a fooling of distrust
that kept many away from the
state and stopped projected in
vestments , and it is not quite certain
that the distrust ; has been entirely re
moved. The overthrow of conlldonco is
easily accomplished , but it is often a
very difficult matter to restore it.
The people of Nobrask i have loarncd
some wisdom in the past year , and it is
not to bo doubted they will profit by it.
They will preserve tholr credit and will
demonstrate to the world that they wore
falsely represented by these who sought
lo commit them to any policy lookIng -
Ing in the direction of a repu
diation of their obligations. They will
bo found , when the time comes for an
expression of their sentiments , in-favor
of a sound currency and an honostdollar ,
and opposed to flat money and sub-
treasury schemes. They will vindicate
their past record of integrity , and will
justify the good opinion of these who
believe them incipablo of betraying any
confidence or refusing to pay to tbo last
penny justly duo any obligation.
111E I'llOIliniTION ItKSClfiDED.
A Uorlin dispatch announces that the
decree rescinding the prohibition placed
upon American pork by Germany has
boon signed. This action was foreshadowed -
shadowed by previous advices , which
indicated that Minister Phelps had
brought strong pressure to boar on the
Gorman government , probably in the
way of threatening a restoration of the
duty on boot sugar in the event
of Germany adhering to the
policy of excluding American pork.
The minister has boon aided
in his efforts by a vigorous demand from
the Gorman people for a removal of the
prohibition , nnd all the circumstances
have conspired to enforce upon the gov
ernment a conviction of the expediency
of doing this. The exclusion of Amer
ican pork and its products from Ger
many , which has boon in force for about
ton years , had long ago ceased to have
the approval of any considerable portion
tion of the people except the hog rais
ers. Nearly two years ago the packers
joined in a petition to the government in
favor of rescinding the prohibition , the
transportation companies made a like
request , ana a very largo number of the
people appealed to the government to
admit American pork and its products.
Very llttlo attention was given to these
petitions , the government finding its
defense for disregarding thorn in the
assumption that our pork could not bo
used with satoty. Tills subter
fuge is no longer available since
the adoption of a system of
inspoctlpn under tno control of the
Agricultural department which assures
the exportation of only sound and
healthy moat , and the Gorman govern
ment hud loft no defense for its policy of
exclusion except a desire to protect the
homo product against competition.
With a scarcity of broudstufTs and high
duties on grain such u defense would
have bcon vigorously rejected by the
masses of the people , and when to thlb
consideration was added the certainty
that the boot sugar of Germany , of
which wo import $10,000,000 worth urtnu-
alloy , would bo subjected to a duty by
the United States , it is uasy to see that
the pressure for a removal of the prohi
bition was Irresistible.
This action of the German govern
ment will very materially Increase out-
exports of pork and Us products , and it
is therefore a matter of very great im
portance to the wost. As It will prob
ably bo speedily followed by similar ac
tion on the part of the Pronoh govern
ment the outlook for the hog raisers of
this country Is manifestly most encour
aging. The French cabinet Is favor
able to our demands , and the re appears
to be no doubt that the bonate will com
plete the legislation proposed by the
government. The notion of Germany in
the matter warrants the belief that no
further borlous objections will bo made
in France to the abandonment of a policy
for which there Is no adequate reason ,
nnd which Is essentially unjust. While
the opening of those markototoour pork
will bo greatly to the advantage
of one of our most oxtennlve
Industries , the benefits to the
masses of the people of Gin-many and
Franco will also bo great , and especially
> o In the present circumstances. It will
bo a good thing , from an economic stand
point , for all the countries concerned ,
iuid it will put an end to a source of con
troversy and of possible commercial an
tagonism Incompatible with the most
[ rlendly relations.

Nebraska is a republican state , and
no delusion or sudden flurry of dlsgim
on the part of her voting population cai
bo taken as evidence that her loyalty 1
not to be trusted for the next natloim
campaign. The election of 1800 was li
part disastrous to the republican nart ;
not because of the yeomen who hnvi
steadfastly maintained the nseondatipj
of republicanism have lost con
lldonco in the principles of tin
old parly , but because It wai
necessary to rebuke the corporatot
bosses who had forced tholr henchmoi
upon the party and the people until endurance
durance ceased longer to bo a virtue
So long as the railroads kept tholi
hands oil the supreme court or at leas
did not control a majority of that trlbu
mil , the people submitted under protest
When , however , they boldly and In opet
defiance of public sentiment , throw thoii
strength against * Chief Justice Iloosi
two years ago and nominated an attorney
more to their liking the discontent tool
shape In n reduction of the vote foi
the republican nominee. A roactiot
thereupon sot in again&t corporatlot
txwsisin which almost resulted in ruit
to the republican party of Nebraska
But the organization lias como to Its
sonbcs again and the dictum has goiu
forth that the corporations must kooi
out of republican politics.
The rapid growth of the ropublicar
party in Nebraska id not very generally
orally appreciated. Its inherent strongtl
cannot bettor bo Illustrated than bj
recalling the vote for president from
18G8 until 1800 , which was as follows
1808 , 0,77iJ ; 1872 , 17,702 ; 1870 , 31,8133
18SO , 54,070 ; 188-1 , 70,012 ; 1888 , 108,215 ,
In on" years the vote Is generally consid'
orably short of that In presidential cam
paigns , yet in 1889 C. U. Mori-ill , candi
date for regent of the State university ,
received ! ) . ' ! ,350 votes. Even in 1890 ,
against the fearful odds of prohibition ,
anti-corporation sentiment and inherent
weakness in the head of the ticket the
republicans hold a safe plurality
and Thomas J. Majors polled 74,38 ( !
votes. It ought to bo clear to any republican -
publican that if 7-1.380 votes can bo se
cured for a republican nominee in a cam
paign with so mtiny distracting issues as
that of 1890 , Tuft BIJE'S estimate of
75,000 unswerving republicans at this
time Is reasonable ana a safe basis fet
calculating the probable success of the
republican ticket the coining November.
But unless the republican con
vention of September 21 shall nom
inate a man absolutely free from the
taint of corporation control wo shall go
into tbo campaign to bo worsted. Our
75,000 votes will not save us from
destruction though they stand squarely
for the nominee bo ho good ,
bad or indifferent. Thuro are
20,000 men in Nebraska , mostly repub
licans , who are awaiting the action of
the republican convention before de
termining their vote on the candidates
for associate justice of the supreme
court. If a clean , honest , able lawyer ,
who has never done the bidding of tbo
railway companies and has kept his
skirts clear of suspicion is nominated
the strength of the republican party will
reassert itself and the old thno oil
year plurality will bo restored.
It is no use to mince matters In
this connection. A corporation attor
ney or a man whom the party must defend -
fond from the outset of the canvass will
bo defeated and the power of republican
ism will be most seriously injured. It is
a crucial campaign. On its result hungs
that of 1802. Wo cannot afford to take
chances.
GOVERNOR TIIAYER committed a
serious blunder In writing his long ill-
tomporcd screed against the State
Board of Public Lands and Buildings in
the matter of the findings of that body
after investigating the Hastings Asylum
for the Chronic Insane. It was an in
excusable , unwarranted and extraord
inary state paper. Not only so but the
governor made the mistake of arraigning
the Board of Public Lands and Buildings
for making contracts which permitted
the officers of the asylum to indulge in
extravagant purchases at extortionate
prices. The Board of Public Lands
and Buildings is not empowered as a
board to make contracts , purchase
supplies , advertise for bids , or perform
any other ofllco in connection with
the purchase of supplies for any state
institution. The Board of Purchases
iiiul Supplies transacts this business.
This board is composed of Governor
Thayer , Treasurer Hill , Secretary of
State Allen , Attorney General Hastings
nnd Commissioner of Public Lands and
Buildings Humphreys. If the last
lamed four gentlemen arc responsible
for any part of the misconduct at Hast
ings in connection with the purchase of
supplies the governor is equally respon
sible , for ho is chairman of the board
, vhlch awai ds contracts and authorizes
nirchasos.
GOLD Is beginning to return from
Europe. The best financial judgment
lid not ox poet that the tulo would bo-
jln to run this way so soon , and there
voro fears that instead of gold woshould
lave a return of securities. The return
novomont indicates that Europe may
irofor to pay for our food products in
-ash , and this may have two oxplana-
ions. European holders of our
iccuritlos inav fool that In view
f the conditions to prosperity hero it
vill bo very profitable to hold them , and
t is not unlikely that the recent utter-
incos of President Harrison regarding
ho currency has greatly strengthened
lonlldonco abroad In the security , at
east for the limned into future , of our
inanoial system. At any vato the return
if the gold wo have sent to Europe
vlthln the past six months will bo wol-
iQino as an additional stimulus to pros-
lorlty. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tut : opinion of Secretary Rusk , that
hero will bo no difficulty in supplying
ho Gorman demand for American pork ,
nay bo based upon trustworthy informa-
lon regarding the outlook for the 1m-
ledlntu supply , but unless the demand
hall fall considerably below what Is
oabonably to bo expected there may be
nine dlnloiilty for a time In meeting it.
'hero has boon no ' excess in
ho supply of hogs for some
line , but of course , with the
bundant corn crop , and the greater as-
tiranco that hogs will bo a bettor In-
estmont than over , moro attention will
o given to growing them , so that
within anotherjvoar the supply wll
doubtless bo luhplo for any dciuani
likely to come from the opening of nov
foreign markets ? This will help t (
make the cornmriSp moro valuable , ant
thus n dotiblo befeilt ( will como to oui
farmers from the removal of the Gormat
and French prohibition against oui
pork. This Is olljarly ono of the thing ;
for which the present administration ii
entitled to a larjru measure of credit.
THE stale c/i/novor ! ) / forgot the hero
ism of the imtlqu'al guards last winter
when they rushed to the border of the
Indian country and went Into camp tc
await the coming of the Indians. It li
true , of course , that the savages kept at
the safe distance of twenty-seven miles
from the Nebraska militia , but our boys
were ready for them If they should ven
ture off tholr reservation In defiance of
the H,000 regular soldiers who wore
watching tholr movements. Having nc
scalps , ghost shirts or other booty tc
show for tholr winter campaign , It wat
altogether proper that bronze medals
should bo issued to each Individual
militiaman as a memento of aIOOOC
campaign , stained by no enemy's blood ,
but which nevertheless proved that the
Nebraska National guard would fight at
the drop of the hat In case of necessity.
"Tin : first charge , 'Irregularities , '
stands proven for it was admitted by the
defense. I refer to the duplication of
vouchers and the carrying of the names
of persons on the pay rolls while not
employed. " So says Governor Thayer
in passing upon the charges against the
officers of the Hastings Asylum for the
Chronic Insane , and then ho goes on tc
say : "Thoso irregularities arc con
demned by jno as wholly unjustifiable ,
unbusinesslike and not to bo repeated. "
No wonder the accused officers tendered
tholr resignations. The only wonder is
that they wore not summarily bounced
by a governor holding these very proper
and posltivo views relative to their mis
management of the institution.
OMAHA can go down to the mooting of
the republican national committee
bnckod by the enthusiastic support of
almost every state west of the Mis
sissippi if she will put forth a proper
effort to secure the ondorbomontof these
states. She outrht now to have two or
three wide-awake representatives in the
field personally visiting the members of
the national committee in behalf of this
city's ambition. The necessary guar
antee fund of $50,000 should bo raibod at

DOES IXSI'KCTION' IXSl'KfTl
Mr. G. E. McDonald , the architect of the
now reform school building for girls ut
Geneva , was in Lincoln today nnd when
nsked concerning the condemnatory remarks
made by Superintendent Stoou "as to poor
foundations being put In Mr. McDonald
laughed and remarked :
"That's nonsense. The fact is the building
Is first class In every respect and I am readv
to welcome the Board of Public Lands am !
Buildings hero any day and ma'ko a careful
examination of the work done. One thing Is
sure and certain , it Is an American structure
and is not being built according to Swedish
Ideas. I am giving the work my personal
attention every day. Steen is supposed to
bo local superiiitondont of the work , but the
fact Is the duties of that position are bolug
performed by the architect. Steon's name
occurs on the hotel register of Geneva only
ulno times since work on the building was
commenced.
"As an Instance of the manner in which ho
is looking after the work which is supposed
nnd ought to require his constant at
tendance , ho loft yesterday morning , toll
ing the cont'-actors that ho was nolng
oft" on n pleasure trip and would not return
until next week. The fact is he Is usually
conspicuous by his absence. Hati he been
on the scone , as ho should have boon , there
would have been no necessity ot having to
order a portion of the wall torn down on
account of defective material. His neglect
has shown mo that f must remain con
stantly at the place ana see that no defective
material Is used or botch work dono. What
ails Steun Is that ho Is jealous. He wants to
boss the whole job and can't. ' Instead of
putting on a pair of overalls nnd getting
down among tbo workmen , as ho ought to ,
and watch the details of the work , ho only
comes out once In u while , and then dashes
up with a spanking livery rig , and after
looking wisely through his gold-bowed spec
tacles for a few minutes drives off again. "
"There's ono thing yon omitted to mention
In the Interview you had with me , " sold Hon.
John Stcen , superintendent of construction
of the Geneva reform school , "nnd that Is
concerning the removal of the unsafe founda
tions of the Geneva school. After I discov
ered what kind of foundations Architect Mo-
Donald had endorsed as being coed enough
for him , and being satisfied that they were
unsafe , ns you could easily punch the
pieces of rock out with n cane }
1 ordered the contractors to tear the founda
tions out. This was done anil you can war
rant that the next ones put In were all right.
So that now the pcoplo of tho'stato can rest
assured that the bnlldtt > i. will stand on a
solid foundation. I hnvo endeavored to look
alter their Interests and will continue so to
: lo In the future.- '

Terrible Story or Cruelty Ititlatod by
n Convict.
MovTitKAi , Sept , it. An astounding revolu
tion of cruelty at SU Vincent do Paul ponl-
tontlnry hns como to light through n dis
charged convict , who llmpoil Into n hotel In
this city and taking off his dusty shoo took
from It a letter from James Forrv , now serv
ing a seven yunrs1 sentence In the Institution.
Out of the four years ho has served , this
wretched convict has spent , ho declares , no
lois than twenty-four months In the black
lioto. This punishtmnt colt Is a portion of
the cellar of the penitentiary , nnd Is so closely -
ly shut with Iron doors that daylight never
ranches the culls In it as long as the convicts
nro thoro. The unfortunnio prisoner put
there Is kept on broad nnd water , being givoa
ono regular piUoii meal every day. Ho
sloous on straw , and the guard who fur
nishes him with his scanty food Is
prohibited from sponklng to him. It Is per-
nottial night and unending sllonco for him.
It Is the hardest punishment that can ho in-
fliclod , nnd yet this unfortunate man has
spent two whole years In this hole , bosidoa
being horribly beaten nnd kicked.
The culminating point was ronchud on An-
pusti'l. Ferry hail boon allowed a breath of
ptuo nlr In the stone yard , when ono of the
cuards cnmo along and ordeied htm hark to
tl.o dungeon. Ferry refused to go nnil begged
for a few minutes moro In the daylight. The
guard sin-iing at him nnd knocked him down
with a blow of his club. The other convicts
nilcguit that ho and thrco others Jumped on
his vhostand body. Ho lav upon the ground
stunned and senseless , with blood llowlng
from his mouth and nose , and yet ho wns
'
drugged by the throat to tho'stairs nnd
thrown into the black hole , they state , with
out medical attendance , though ho Is known
to have been severely injured intornnlly.
A reporter waited on Warden Oiiimot.
That Kcutlu'nan , while softening the nmtor
all he could , admitted that ho had boon com
pelled to Una and suspend some of his guards
for crueltv to prisoners. Thn guard Henry ,
who committed the assault on Forrv , had
boon suspended for two days and fined for
sinking prisoners , and ho had to warn others
that the men were to bo treated ns human
beings nnd not as brutes. The story told to
him ny the guards was that t'errv was Insu
bordinate. They claimed that ho refused to
work and incited the other convicts to mu
tiny. On the : > 'ld the chief keeper told him
that Forrv bad refused to work nirain mm
that ho had been sentenced to the black
holo. Henry ana unothor guard sei/.od
htm , When ho struggled furiously ,
nnd they were compelled to club him Into
submission , as they were forcing him along
to his dismal hole , ho turned and struggled
until Henry lost his lompor nnd used his
locust freely on him. Henry ndmlts losing
his temper , but savs Ferry's nbnso and nt-
tempts to strlko him fuirlv maddened him
and Im could not help it. The warden snvs ,
that Ferry was not so seriously hurt as ho
says and that he refused medical attendance ,
and nlso that it is not true that his mother
was not permitted to see him bocnuso his
face wns mashed ton puip by tlio clubs of
the guards.
But this does not satisfy the relatives of
the Injured man. Old convicts claim that
this case b only ono of many , nnd the fact
remains that a man has boon placed two
years out of four in solitary conllnomont In a
loiitliesomo cell , debarred from light , from
fresh nu- and from the companionship of
man. The citrons are determined that an
Investigation shall DO made into the affair.

pilsod Wall street , as the rates of foreign ox-
L-lmnpo do not permit the import of gold as u

It wns learned yesterday that the Fourth
National bank had initiated n uoliay to facili
tate gold imports , which , if generally
idopted , will tend to facilitate the current of
? old from Europe. This bank has decided to
idopt in essence the principles of the great
European banks In charging the shippers tie
