You cannot judge a state by ono man.

NEBUASKA republicans can easily

TnE democrats of Nebraska are afraid
of their future if they fuse and afraid of
their present if they don't fuse. In
ether words , they will bo d d if they do
and they will bo d d if they don't.
WE HAVE no faith in the newspaper
Btorios of Mr. Gladstone's declining

will bo In the same emphatic manner ns
that of the wonderful ono-hoss shay.
THE American people make fools of
themselves occasionally , but never
twice in succession. For that reason
this great majority of this irabooilo and
disloyal congress will not bo returned.
WHY could not Major McKlnloy bo
prevailed upon to stop a few hours in
OmahaV All the republicans will not
( bo at Lincoln Thursday and the gover
nor is probably as anxious to BOO Omaha
us Omaha is to see him.
IOWA narrowly escaped the level of
Indiana Intelligence last Saturday. A
Johnson county farmer almost bought
that sauio old gold brick for $4,000 , but
the bank plutocrats of Iowa City saved
liini. And Iowa haa so inauy news
papers , too.
TOM RKKD finds great sport in the
Bpoctaclo of the democrats balng compelled -
polled to 111 ( bus tor , although having
340 majority in congress. They did the
sumo thing in the Carlisle congress. It
is n settled fact that the democratic
party is afraid of itself.
AVTEU straining our oars for about a
month wo must confess that wo have
hoard nothing from democratic buglers
nbout a certain state by the name of In
diana. And yet four yours ago wo hoard
thorn blnro it constantly. Why this
eilcnco ? Has it disappeared ?
NOTHING can bo gained o.xcopt by
vigorous nnd united effort. If this city
is to secure manufactures , railroads and
juoro territory , there is only ono way to
pot It. Sioux City menaced us on the
north , Kansas City on the south , and it
is apparent that the former la really the
more vigorous and notlvo Omaha must
make the new street improvements open
inoro ncgrcsalvo public action.
IK IT is doi'idod that any pirt of the
city hull is to bo frcHcoud , preference
should bo given to Omaha decorators.
Wo cannot houo to build up an art cen

shows that the light la to bo iu Now

An attempt will bo made nt Lincoln
to break the lorco of the endorsement
which Jtulgo Croufiso ha * received in
Douglas county. A gang of c.ippcra and
political conlhlonco sharps has boon re
cruited in this city within the p'tit.
twenty-four hours 16 proceed to Lincoln
to work upon credulous delegates and
make thorn bollovo that Crounso is not
the cholco of Douglas county nnd will
not locolvo the full vote of the delega
tion.
Some of those Impostors will personate -
senate delegates when , in fact , they
nro more political Plnkorlons doing
dirty work at so mucli a day. Others
will c'alm to spmilt for n society
which has recently sprung up in
Nebraska. Those parties when probed
to the bottom will bo found to have cor
poration strings tied to thorn or cor
poration boodle about thorn. They rep
resent only the masters they have hired
out to sorvo. The Douglas county dele
gation is Instructed and pledged to vote
for Judge Crounso na a unit through Its
chairman. The re solution to this olTcct
was unanimously adopted , and after
Crounso had received two-thirds of the
vote of the convention his choice was
made unanimous by a rising voto. It ts
not only a matter of ho.no.1 that these
Instructions bo lived up to In good fuith ,
but no dolog.tto o.in bo absolved from
his obligation. Whoever attempt ! to
break f tilth under any pretext will dig
ills own political gravo.
Wo have said this much in order to
forestall tlio dastardly work of the
political mercenaries nnd trust that
they will receive the rcbuko they merit
at the hands of every rospoutublo ro-
publlcnn.
iw\r FUSION
A New York paper publishes a com
munication from a Kansas democrat in
which he frankly confesses that the ob
ject of fusion in that state is to promote
the interests of Grover Cleveland. Ho
says : "If Weaver's election were poa-
blblo such a procedure on the part of
the democrats would bo indefensible , but
since it is not absolutely certain that
Cleveland will have a majority in the
electoral college they ballevo that by
endeavoring to make it more difficult ,
If not impossible , for Harrison to have
such a majority ( thus throwing the elec
tion into the house of representatives )
they will be dolnjj only their duty to
ward Mr. Cleveland. " Further on this
correspondent says that "tho Kansas
democrats do not by this policy seek to
lend any sort of favor to the wild
schemes advocated by the people's
party. "
Such testimony ns this Is hardly
needed to show that the democratic fusionists -
sionists have no sympathy whatever
with iho followers of Weaver. They
know that there are some misguided
men in the psople's party who were
formerly republicans , nnd the plan is to
win thorn over to the democratic party
by means of this device of fusion. The
republican who is caught in this trap
will find that the gain is all on the side
of the democrats and that ho is inoroly
a loser. What will the people's parly
gain by the oloctton of Cleveland'1 ! What
will any farmer or other individual
voter who subscribes to the Omaha plat
form gain by democratic success ? The
democracy has shown as plainly as pos
sible that it is opposed to the funda
mental principles of the pobplo's party.
Fusion is a moro scheme to catch the
unwary republicans who have gone otT
after Weaver In the hope that they may
thereby hasten the coming of good times
and full purses. It is a good plan to
closely examine all schemes of fusion
proposed by the democrats. They nro
not in politics for their health nor for
the encouragement of now parties/
There is nothing altruistic in the pur
poses und designs of the democracy.
DKSKItTlNQ UtSMUCHATS.
From various parts of the country
como reports of desertions from the
democratic ranks. This is duo to the
declarations of the Chicago platform re
garding the policy of proteclion nnd the
strong tendency of the party in the di
rection of freotrado shown in thocourso
of its representatives in congress. Eust-
orn manufacturers who have hitherto
Voted with tlio democracy say that
their Interests will not permit thorn to
ire with the party in the position it has
now taken. They did not object to
tariff loform on a basis regardful of the
capital invested and the labor employed
in American industries , but such a policy
ns the democratic national platform pro
poses they say would ruin thorn , and
therefore their influence and ihoir votes
will bo cast against it.
The free trade drift of the demo
cratic party Is affecting the nlleglanco
of ethers who do no.t believe that the
British pystom would bo a good thing
for the United States. A club has just
boon organized iu Now York city , con
sisting of young-won who have previ
ously supported the national democratic
ticket , which will support the republican
can candidates this year. Tlio opposi
tion to Mr. C'.ovofand is on the ground
that ho is the friend of British ra'.hcr
than American intprosts.
It is btatcd that the democratic candi
date is not unaware of the strong and
growing sentiment among former demo
crats hostile to the present position of
the p.trty regarding protection , and it is
thought probable that ho will make an
olTort In his letter of acceptance lo allay
the apprehension which that position
has created. It will bo remembered
that ho put ono or two modifying sug1-
gcbllons in his spoouh at the time iio
was notified of his nomination , nnd the
Impression Is that ho will amplify thoao
in his letter nnd onuoavnr to glvo the
InrltT plank of the platform an interpre
tation designed torondor It loss offensive
to the fi'lenda of American Industries.
It will not bo surprising if ho does some
thing of this sort , but ho will h irdly bo
nblo to deceive anybody as Co the real
moaning of the tariff plunk of the * na
tional platform. Not only is it moat
clour and unequivocal in Its language ,
but the circumstance * under which it
was adopted luavu no doubt regarding
the spirit that prompted it. It U pur-
hays tttnu that the convontlon tool ; moro
radical ground In this respect Hum M > * .
Clovuland Uojlred , but there can bo no
doubt that it rolluctud fairly the vlow of
a largo majority of the doniooratlo party ,
uud this , It la roaaouablo to aasumo ,
would control the notion of Mr. Clootand
if ho were olectad to the presidency.
In Mentions are not. wanting that the
democratic loidura realize thnt the
parly has boon put In a position where
it must n.uko a wholly defensive fitrht ,
with all the conditions against it. When
so capable a Icador as Senator CarlisU
is forced to adopt such a line of defense
us ho did In tin ; senate a few days ago ,
In attempting to answer the speech of
Senator Ald-Ich , the situation is Indeed
adllllcult ono. As the campaign ad
vances and Uio position of the demo
cratic party becomes bettor understood
by the masses desertions from Ua ranks
may bo too common to oxcllo comment.
M'KIXLKI' AT UKATltWK.
The address of Governor McKlnloy at
Beatrice , whioh is printed in full in this
issue of THK BEK , ought to bo carefully
rpnil by every voter In Nebraska. It is
a most able discussion of the American
system of protection and. n convincing
defense of the existing tariff law , pro-
sonlud with thAt straightforward candor
and frankness which characterize all
the utterances of Governor MoKlnloy.
With a profound faith in the wisdom of
the prolocllvo policy , the author of the
latest tariff measure discusses the sub
ject upon the highest plntioand from the
broadest view of its relations to the
development , prosperity and welfare of
the entire country.
The render will find especially inter
esting the analysis of the latnst nntioir.il
platform of the domocintlc party , which
Governor McKlnloy justly declares Is a
bolder rococnitlon of free trade than
any of its prodocessors. The history of
the adoption of the tariff plank of that
platform is familiar to all readers of
current political event's. The planK re
ported by the committee on rosolulions
declared that In levying customs tax
ation regard should bo had for the dif
ference In the cost of labor hero and
labor abroad ; that in making reductions
in taxes it is not proposed to injure any
domestic industry : that as the govern
ment has always derived its revenue
chiefly from customs it must continue to
do so ; and that every change of law must
bo regardful of the labor and capital in
volved. This plank mot with prompt
and vigorous hostility from the free
trade element in tha convention , led by
Nell of Ohio and Wattorson of Ken
tucky , and there was substituted for it ,
by a largo majority , the plnnlc whioh
denounces protection as a fraud and a
robbery and declares that policy to bo in
violation of the constitution.
Governor McKlnloy vigorously at
tacks this remarkable enunciation of the
democracy , which ho suggests may
huvo boon copied from the ordinance of
nullification passed sixty years ago by a
general convention in South Carolina.
On the iMth day of November , 1832 , that
state issued an ordinance "to nullify
certain acts of the congress of the
United States , purporting to bo laws
laying duties and imposts on the importation -
tation of foreign commodities. " It de
clared that the congress had exceeded
its constitutional powers in imposing
high nnd excessive dntics on the theory1
of ' 'protection. " It will thus bo soon
that the democratic party of today in
olTcct adopts the principles proclaimed
by the South Carolina nulliflors in 1832 ,
their effort to curry out which was
stonily and summarily dealt with by
President Jackson. With that excep
tion the constitutionality of protection
was never questioned until the adoption
of the democratic platform of 181)2. )
In discussing the practical operation
of the protection policy it need hardly
bo said that Governor McKinley Is com
prehensive and thorough , and his posi
tion is amply fortified by facts of ofllcinl
record. Not the lonst interesting and
valuable portion of his address is that
in which ho argues that no class of the
people are more certainly bonolitod by
a protective tariff than the farmers , for
the reason that itmukos a homo demand
for their products , and homo consumers
are always bolter than foreign con
sumers because they nro nearer the
field of production.
JUS DUTY TO THK PARTI'
The candidacy of Hon. Thomas Ma
jors is n menace to republican success in
Nebraska. His nomination would place
the party on the defensive at tho'outsot
and keep it on the run to the end of the
campaign. Ho would bo weakest where
the narty must seouro Its heaviest voto.
Ho would not draw from the democrats
or the alliance , but would o'von repel re
publicans who voted for him in 16'JO. It
is superfluous to roitoralo why Mr. Ma ;
jors IB not available. Sulllce it to say
that his nomination would bo an extra
hazardous risk in which every man on
the ticket would bo imperiled nnd even
the electoral ticket would bo jeep
ardized.
It becomes the duty of Colonel Majors
at this crisis to sacrifice his ambition
for the good of the party and lot the
convention select as the standard bearer
of the party for 1892 a man who will bo
in position from the outset to wage an
nggrossivo campaign and will reinstate
tlio party in power und in Iho confidence
of the people.
FAKMKUS who were advised last year
to ho'.d their wheat and corn and name
their own prices will remember this
year that the advice came from men
who are now conspicuous in the people's
party movement. They did not find it
profitable to hold their grain , and they
will find no moro pro lit this your in
taking the ndvico of those wise men as
to tliqlr political action. Tli-j farmers
were told last year that by holding their
grain they would Vocalvo prices about
twlco as high as were actually realized.
These predictions were based upon re
ports of a prospective famine in Europe.
There wa * a short crop of wheat In
Eurono and our producers troro galnora
by it , but not to the extent promised.
This year there la again a short crop in
Europe , according to recent reports , but
the farmur who holds his grain in thu
hope of celling 81.50 or $2 per bushel
for It will ha docolvad and disappointed.
It is better for the producer to use his
own common sense than to tuko counsel
of Irresponsible p'ropliots. Prophecy Is
easy , and for that reason a great many
people ongngo in Iho buslnos * . The
farmer wiio is wtsu will possess himself
of ail Iho Information possible concern

KANSAS CITT , Mo. , Aug. 2. A special
from Anthony , Kan , to the Journal says :
Considerable oxcltomont has bcon occasioned
in this county over the abduction of Amen
Farmer , alliance member ot tha Board of
County Commissioners , and tbo nttomntod
abduction of Alexander Torrill , a republican
member of tbri board. Four or flvo masked
men called Mr. Farmer out of bed
just before dawn , took him into a carriage
nnd that was the last seen of him. Commis
sioner Torrill was out of town when the
abductors called for blm ,
'Iho Board of Commissioners was to have
met to make n levy for the payment of tbo
judgment on the old Hnrpar county bonds ,
required by a mandamus issued by the su
preme court two weeks ngo. The bettor
class of Harnor county's taxpayers , has ad
vised the board to' make the levy , but the
alliance loaders are in favor of ignoring tbo
mandamus and demand that tbo commis
sioners refuse to make the levy or resign.
The cause of the abduction was doubtless to
prevent tbo levy of the special tax. Detec
tives are nt work in the matter.

WASHINGTON. D. C. , Aug. 3. J
The World's fair tangle was very nearly
unraveled today , but Director General Davis
lieu it up In n knot nenln tonlcht , There
was n proposition offered him tonight by a
conference committee of democrats to malto
the World's fair n present of U,50J,000 , but
Mr. DavK said ho would not tnko loss than
f- > , 1)00,000 ) , so matters remain In statu quo.
The action of the conunlttoo caucus last
night against the proposed appropriation
was expected to huvo a moral inflnenco on
tbo situation , but this expectation was not
realized. The deadlock was ] ust ns strong
this morning ns It was last night. The house
took ono recess after another from 11 to 1
o'clock nnd then adjourned for the purpose
ot giving the opposing factions nn oppor
tunity for conference. A conference was
called Immediately after adjournment Hud n
conunlttoo of ton , live from onch side , wns
appointed to arrange a compromise U DOS-
slblo.
Tbo members of this committee were : For
the appropriation Williams , Illinois ; Dur-
borow , Illinois ; Follows , Now York ; Klley ,
Pennsylvania , nnd Schlvcl.r , indiuna.
Agalna.1 tbo appropriation Bankhoad , Ala
bama ; McMillln , Tennessee ; McCrcnry ,
Kentucky ; Culoorson , Texas , nnd Cum-
wings of Now York. Mr. Williams pto-
sontcd n proposition for n compromise on
half of the amount of tbo appropriation , and
ho claims ho would have eight votes in fnvor
of It , but. Mr. Durborow wtmtod to consult
the World's fair people about tbu matter , so
the conference committee adjourned until I )
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Mr. Durborow saw Director General
Davis nftor the meeting , and Mr. Davis snld
that ho would not accept the compromise.
The real secret of. tbo strength of the oppo
sition to the appropriation Is the fuel tlmt
Speaker Crisp is against it. Mr. Holmau is ,
by his persistence , In n great degree respon
sible , but tbo heaviest share of rospon&lbiUty
rests with Mr. Crisp. Ho could report from
the commit tee on rules tomorrow an order
which would soitlo the dispute In ilvo min
utes dud chock the tlllbustorlng ; but Mr.
Crisp ts in sympathy wuh the filibustering
element , nnd ho has given it nld constantly ,
sometimes iu definnco of parliamentary law.
The indications tonight nro thnt the contest
Question will bo postponed until December.
To Siiiprox | Anarchy.
Representative Svump of Maryland pro
poses to moot the anarchist question squarely
and ho has prepared an amendment to the
Immigrant bill now on the speaker's table as
lollows :
"Any nllen , anarchist , or member of any
secret society , or party or organization , the
constitution or compact ot which Is contrary
to or in violation of any of the provisions o'f
the constitution or laws of the United States ,
or any alien , who , by his expressed opinion
or nets , demonstrates that ho is opposed to
all government nnd to the peace and good or
der of society , or who excites revolt or pro
motes disorder bv violence or by the cir
culation of insidious publications , shall
bo , by auo process of law issued by
the United States courts having criminal
Jurisdiction , arrested nnd tried mid upon
conviction shall bo deported to the country
from whence ho came and should ho after
wards bo found in the limits of tbo United
Stales ho shall bo imprisoned for a period
of not loss than live nor moro than twenty
years. "
Mr. Stump says that almost all the
anarchists in this country nro nitons and
this announcement bo thinks wilt prevent
any Increase in their number by Immigra
tion.
