A wise nnd upright judiciary is th
bulwark- and safeguard of good govern
inont. This is a country of law. Th
national government and all tlio slat
governments nro founded upon wrlttci
constitutions which clearly define thol
duties and powers. Thcso organic law
provide for a judicial system with nti
thority to interpret thorn and all legislative
lativo acts passed in pursuance a
such organic lawn. The judiclarj
is sunromo In the exercise of its pro
scribed functions. Tlioro is no tribuna
or authority in Nebraska above the supreme
promo court , the decisions of which an
final as to all matters affecting oxclu
slvoly the affairs of Nebraska , or li
which there is .no federal question in
volvod.
How Important It is that this cour
of last resort should bo composed o
men of sound legal attainments , irro
proachnblo character and cstah
lishod integrity , ought to bo obvi
oud to the most ordinary intelligence
Serious wrong and injustice may result
from electing incapable and unworthj
men to the inferior courts , but the dnii'
gor of tlioHU is immeasurably increased
when such men nro placed on the bcncli
of the supreme court. Ignorance , prcju
dice and corruptibility in that tribunal
would put in jeopardy the most vital in
terests of all classes of our people and
could not fall to bo greatly dam
aging to the welfare of the state. Justice
would bo threatened where it should
have its stronghold , confidence in the
judiciary would bo impaired , if not
destroyed , and the L'ood name and credit
of Nebraska would sull'or everywhere.
To avert such consequences is manifestly
the very highest duty that can be
devolved upon the people of Nebraska.
Of all the political mistakes they
might commit none could bo so
dangerous to their interests and
to the welfare of the state as
that of electing to the supreme bench
an incapable and unworthy man.
The republican candidate for associate
justice of the supreme court is a jurist
of learning , experience and unquestioned
character for uprightness and integrity.
Ho has had an extended nnd honorable
career as a district judge , and those
who know most of him in that capacity ,
regardless of their political aflllia-
tion , sr.oak of him as eminently
qualified to sit , on the supreme
bench , and as being in every way
worthy of the confidence of the people.
No one has questioned his ability as a
jurist. No one has assailed his record
as a judge. On the contrary , the
uniform testimony from the district
where ho has made his judicial career
is , that ho lias been capable , just and
incoriuptible. Opposed to him is a man
who , in it legal practice of a dozen
years has acquired no standing at the
bar , for whoso professional qual
ifications no reputable lawyer would
care to vouch , and who has absolutely
no claim , whether us lawyer or citi/.on ,
to popular confidence and support as a
candidate for the supreme bench.
Such are the men one of whom the
people of Nebraska will throe weeks
from today elect to the highest judicial
tribunal in * thn state Judge Post , the
able and experienced jurist , in every
way fully equipped for the position ,
and Joseph Edgorton , a lawyer
without repute in his profes
sion and with no moro experience in the
practice of law than can be obtained in
justice and police courts. What citizen ,
desiring to maintain the character of
the supreme court , can have any doubt
is to which of these candidates should
receive Ids support ; * Can , any farmer
or workingman , hnvincr the intelligence
to appreciate the importance of the ju
diciary , and to understand that it is
as essential to his interests as to those
3f any other class of the people that the
supreme court should bo composed of
lawyers of intelligence , character and
andoubted integrity , question for a mo
ment that it is his duty to cast his vote
for the republican candidate ? Between
ich men as Judge Post and Edgorton
lomoustrated fitness on the one hand and
.inqucstionablo unworthiness on the
ithor , there can bo no reasonable con-
.rovorsy as to a choice.
NATJOA'.lb
November Sin Washington , D. C.tho
[ juostion of the time and place of holding
Lho next republican national convention
ivill bo determined. All ever this coun
try Omaha is understood to bo a candi-
lato'fortho honor of entertaining the
convention. Her fight has been so
vigorous .uid pqrsistont that great head
way has boon mado. She will moro than
likely succeed if the busjnoss men of the
jlty now come forward nnd do tlioir
luty. The fight is clearly between
Dinuhn and Chicago todaywith chances
ibout oven. The prlzo is within our
grasp.
Tlio newspapers and the talkers have
Inno their work well. The whole coun
try has boon discussing Omaha as the
iiosslblo favorite of the national commit-
LOO. Three state conventions have do-
jlarod unequivocally for Omaha. Sov-
mil Influential members of the commit-
: co are strong in our favor. TIe
emainlng work is in the hands of our
justness inon. Wo must now make tlio
Inal oITort which is to present a bond in
.ho sum of $50,000 or more as an ovl-
lonco of good faith and a guaranty
, hat wo shall do our duty in the event
; hat Omaha is selected as the place of
loldlng the convention.
Minneapolis has raised a guar-
inty of this sum and goes on
: o Chicago to present her claims.
IMiic.igo overwhelmed with the
argor outorprlzo of the world's fair'is
lolng almost nothing to secure the con
tention , San Francisco has withdrawn
trom the contest and is friendly to
Dinuhtu Philadelphia is too far east to
jo a factor in the fight. Omaha , Minne
apolis und Chicago will bo the folo com-
ratltors and with ovary tiling except pro-
'
: 'odcnt in our favor wo can afford to put
3n the war paint and go into the com-
nltton demanding recognition and back-
ng up the demand with facts , figures
uid cash enough to overthrow the oppo
sition.
Lot every business man in the city
: omo to the front and do his
iart in furtherance * of the laud-
iblo ambition 01 Omaha. Wo

is It may scorn ; for the prominence
achieved In making a vigorous figli

penscs.
WITH own
It Ifl reported from Washington tha
an arrangement lins boon olTootcd between
tweon the government of the Unite
States and the Gorman govornmon
which will bo especially Interesting t
the farmers of this ) country. It consist
of the removal by Germany of the dut
on wheat , Hour and canned moats exported
ported to that country from the Unltei
Slates in return for the continued ad
mission of Gorman boot sugar int
this country free of duty. It has bee
understood for some time that nogotti
tlons to this ontl wore in progress , an
not very long ago Minister Phelps , n
Berlin , oxprosdod a hopeful opinion a
the result. Tlioro has also been a strati )
pressure on the government from th
Gorman people for a removal of the du
ties , which under existing condition
nro especially burdqnsomo and opprcn
sivo Hut the government ap
poured for a time to bo determined I
retain the duties , though It did some
thing for the relief of the people in re
ducing the rates of transportation in i
portion of tno ompiro. Recently it wa
given out that our minister was instructed
structod to notify the Gorman govern
inent that unless the grain duties won
removed or reduced the president wouli
restore the duly on Gorman sugar , bu
there was probably no foundation fo :
this statement. No throat of tlii
kind was employed to secure the romova
of the prohibition against Amoricai
pork products , the American ministo
having discovered that this would notbi
a judicious way of dealing with the Gor
man government , so that it is not like ! '
ho would adopt such a course in negotiating
tiating for the removal of the grain du
tii-s.
Assuming the report of thii
reciprocity arrangement with Ger
many to bo correct , it is at
important and valuable concession tha
will benefit both the American farmer ;
and the Gorman consumers. Of coursi
in any event Germany would take all o
our grain she can obtain during the
tuxt twelve months , but with the dutlo ;
roicovod her merchants can offer bottoi
prices for it in competition with buyers
of other countries , and still supplj
the demand without increasing
the price to consumers. It is
to bo expected that under this
arrangement there will bo devel
oped a very active demand fron
Germany for our wheat and flour , the
effect of which can hardly fall to stimu
late prices. The greatest advantage ol
the arrangement is therefore likely tc
bo realized by the American farmers ,
to whoso prosperity it may bo remarked ,
everything is now contributing. Such
a reciprocity arrangement as this
with Germany is to bo noted
as another of the signal achievements
in this direction of the Harrison admin
istration , and it convoys the promise , il
not the assurance , of others no less val
uable. This is the sort of reciprocity
which the agricultural interest of the
United States can appreciate , and which
docs not interfere with American indus
tries or American labor. It is a form of
free trade that is entirely consistent
wit ft the American system of protec
tion.

There are reports from Washington that ii
that city Chicago nnd Cincinnati are regarded
garded us the only real competitors for th (
next republican national convention. Now
Cincinnati is an unlucky city for the holding
of presidential conventions. The nomina
tions for president maUOthoro have all turned
out badly. Buchanan , Groeloy , Hayes and
Hancock were all nominated at Clncin
nati. Hence it would seem like Hying in the
face of providence , or at least of luck , foi
the national committee to select that city.
Chicago nominations have indeed turned out
pretty well about as well as they could ,
But that city has no monopoly on republican
national conventions. Bring the convention
this time further west to the section whore
nil the tendencies are to hopefulness , to
brightness , to success. Bring it to Omaha.
Veteran I'cu tmnor.s.

There are twenty-three widows nnd
daughters of revolutionary soldiers who still
draw pensions , though the last male survivor
died long ago. This fact loads to some cur
ious speculation as to tno number of widows
of veterans of the civil war who may bo on
the pension rolls a hundred years benco. But
under pioper legislation there need bo no
ioaron that score. There is no justice in
tixingtho people to pay u pension for tha
remainder of her life to n young woman who
married a veteran about to drop into his
grave. A woman who marries a veteran after
the war is ever undergoes no hardships that
glvo her a claim for pension. But had such
n law been in existence it would raaUo a great
difference ! n ttio number of widows on the
pension .rolls. There has been some legisla
tion on this subject , but moro may bo needed.

Hastings Nebrn kan : Edgerton is losing
ground every day. Hia endorsement by the
democrats seems to have boon a hoodo.
Grand Island Independent : If the ruil-
roads were in search of a man that they
thought could bu bought very cheap , they
would probably send a lightning special to
the homo of the independent candidate ,
South Omaha , witnout expecting to bo griev
ously disappointed.
Dawes County Journal : Howls against
the railroads will not elect an ignoramus as
chief justice of the supreme court or to the
district bench hero. This is no yellow dog
campaign. When it comes to filling the high
Judicial oflicos in Nebraska the people will
demand rnon ol experience , legal attainments
and ability , and not oflico seeking dema
gogues who have never had n case in the su
preme court and have uo standing at the dis
trict bar.
Grand Island Independent : How party
prejudice can induce any intelligent man to
vote for sucii n vile , vulgar and profane In
competent as Edgorton as against such a
learned , experienced and Incorruptible n man
as .ludgo A. M. Post is beyond our power of
comprehension , nnd particularly when said
supporters pretend to favor good men nnd
reform. Sensible men seldom search the
ranks of police court pettifoggers for suitable
exponents of a real reform movement. Their
work Is scarcely in that lino.
Wisner Chronicle : Judge Post is highly
endorsed by democrats and republicans nliko
In his own district , nnd tnoso who know him
best nro his strongest adherents. Ho is not
nor has ho boon a politician In a partisan
souse , and his worst oncmlos fail to cite an
Instance in which ho showed any signs of
being biased by the blandishments or boicilo
of corporations , From all that has been said
of him the Chronicle bollevos ho is a man that
will honor Iho highest tribunal of the state
with his intognty of character and judicial
learning.
Kearney Hub : The man Edgerton who
jcoks to befoul the supreme bench makes up
in vituperation what ho lacks in common
icnso. In his ICearnoy speech the other
avoning ho said : "If wo are to cling to the
Did parties wo might ns well tear down our
ichool houses , burn our churches and write
311 the vault of heaven : 'Satan has tri-
imphod over God , ' nnd turn till the imps of
loll loose on our country. " This .sentiment
s endorsed bv the Froinont Herald and glvoii
iroMiluonco in iho Omaha World-Horalu ,
loth of which ought to have hotter sens' ' . ' .
I'ho foul mouthed raving of such a domn-
jogiio cannot certainly have weight with thn
> cnplo of the state , further than to cause
.liom to spew him out.
Lincoln Journal : Of all the orators now
: ampaignlng In this state none is meeting
vith the cold shoulder moro frequently than
ho late railroad , telegraph and telephone pro-
surer Paul Vandorvoort. No matter how
vigorous the billingsRato and vltupora-
loi'i ho Heaps upon tlio other parties It
nils upon the oars of his listeners with-
iiit weicht and without Influence and
vhon ho ha * finished ono of his OKotlstt-

vith tumultuous applause and having
ho audience gather around him to shako

co stbom stray off into remote cornow and
ollowlng whispered comments cast sus
HCIOUS glance * In his direction. The trouble-
vltn Vandorvoort U that no matter where 1m
; oes In this state his past record has preceded
ilmand killed the confidence trial men might
incohavo hud in his honesty of purpose.
I'wenty-llvo years spent as a professional
inrporntion lobbyist is n record that cannot
jo wiped out ana overcome * in a day or in u
