The democratic parly in its national
platform profossoa to favor "just nnd
liberal pensions for all disabled union
soldiers , their widows nnd dependents. "
To understand how much value Is to bo
glvon to this profession it is necessary
to examine the record of the democracy
in congress regarding pensions , That
record cdneluslvoly shows that the dem
ocratic party has boon uniformly un
friendly to legislation for the benefit of
the men who preserved the union.
There are sixty-one general pension
acts which constitute the body of our
present pension system , nnd every on i
of those became law by republican
votes. It has boon claimed that the
nrrcars act was n democratic measure ,
but the only ground for the claim Is
that the houseof representatives was
then democratic. The truth of history
is that that act was introdui'od by n re
publican and received on its passage 110
republican votes , forty-eight democrats
voting for it nnd slxty-ono against
It The only votes in opposition to this
mouRuro in either branch of congress
wore cast by democrats. The most im
portant of * all the pension laws is the
dependent and disability act which bo-
cnmo n law in 1890. A substantially
similar moiiBuro was vetoed by P. csl-
dcnt Cleveland. In order to p iss it in
the Flfty-Hrst congress a special order
became nocos > sary , fixing a tlmo certain
when a vote should bo taken. When
the bill waa voted on not a single re
publican vote was recorded in the negative -
ativo whllo there were sovonty-ono
domocr.itlc votes against it. On that
occasion n republican member of the
house from Iowa declared that "when-
over the old soldiers of the country
asked for pension legislation it was to
the republican party they confidently
looked for ft. " It Is an Interesting fact
that of the twonty-oijiht pension acts
passed fromlSOl to 1875 , while the re
publicans had control of both houses of
congress , only upon ono was there a
call for the yeas and nays , and that was
in the honate. The' democratic party
came Into control of the house of repre
sentatives in 1875 , and thereafter yea-
nnd-uny calls were frequent. But upon
all these bills , except upon the ono restoring -
storing those who had bean in the re
bellion to the 1812 roll , which was n
democratic measure , there waa but ono
republican vote In the negative.
In the case of private pension acts the
unfriendliness of the democratic party
to the union soldiers has boon still tnoro
conspicuous. The numerous vetoes of
such bills by President Cleveland was
ono of the romarkublo features of his
administration that the veterans will
never forgot. Two hundred and ninety-
seven private pension bills were killed
by Mr. Cleveland's vote and nearly ns
many more were withhold by him moro
than ton days and thus became laws
without his approval. Ono thousand
three hundred nnd sixty-seven pension
bills were sent to President Ilarrison by
the republican Fifty-first congress , and
not ono failed to become a law for want
of his signature. Another Intorestmg
fact for the veterans is , that whllo the
Fifty-first congress at its iirst session
passed 849 private poiihion bills the
present congress pissed leas than ono-
f our th of that number , und most of
these were rushed through In ono even
ing at the close of the session , evidently
for the purpose of trying to make a
decent pension record.
This tardy manifestation of.oat on
the part of the democrats in congress
will not , however , fool the old soldiers.
They will judge the democracy by its
whole record in relation to their inter
ests , and this shows the party , in splto
of its professions , to have boon uni
formly unfriendly to the men whoso
patriotism and courage preserved the
union. .
A FASIIIONAIILK NUI3ANUR.
It may bo very ngrooablo to dudes and
dudinos who rldo on top of a tngocoach
to blow tin horns in n most ear-rasping
fashion but people of ordinary powers of
endurance find this perpetual tooting to
bo a great nuisance.
bomo of thcso fashionable fools may
imagine that their nbominaolo horn
blowing recalls the old-tlmo post chaise
and duplicates the English coaching
party and four-ln-hand. It is nothing
of the sort. If any of our staging
parties were to appear in any part of
England and carry on the way they do
in Omaha they would bo driven off the
roadway. The old post coach had a
bugle whoso calls were llko the hunter's
bugle Jioto not like a charivari
rackoL
The fonr-ln-hnnd coaches that carry
fashioimhlo people between London and
its suburbs have liveried footmen
whoso bugling is ns sonorous and musi
cal Ub that of 11 cavalry buglor. There
is as much difference between such
bugling and the horrible am itour tin
horn us there la between the ringing of
church chimes and the ding ( long of cow
bolls.
The tin horn idiocy ought to bo abated
as n nulsanco.

The act of congress authorizing the
transfer of the Htoamshlps City of Paris
and City of Now York from the English
to the American Hag , conditional upon
the Iiiinan line , to which they balong ,
having two or moro steamships built in
the United States , seems likely to have
an important result in demonstrating
that voxels ot this kind inn ba built In
this country equal In every way , if not
superior , to the masterpieces of the
Clyde builders.
The Cramps , the American ship
builders who have shown what they can
do in the construction of war vessels ,
oxproBS the belief that they can build
ships faster than any of these which now
cross the ocean. No ships the slzo of
the City of Paris or the City of Now
York ) mvo over boon built on this side
of the ocean , but the Cramps Hity this is
noroauon why big ships oannot/bo built
in the United States that will ba as faster
or ftibtor than these of any of the big
linos. The only advantage 'that the
foreign builders have la in their ability
to construct moro cheaply , owing to
the higher pricuof labor in this country ,
and this of uourso IB n very important
consideration , but everything required
in the shipbuilding Industry can be sup
plied hero , there uro doflLrnuru equal in
nblllty to any in the world , and with
proper oncourngotnont there can bo no'
doubt that American shipbuilders will
demonstrate that thay are ns capable of
constructing swift steamships as the
builders on the Clydo or olsowhoro. The
Ininan line in to till : ? building two or
three slaamshlps that will bo larger and
faster than the ships transferred to the
American Hag , nnd this will glvo
American builders the chan-o : to show
what they c.in do. If they are as suc
cessful ns they .havo boon in the con
struction of ships'for the navy they will
justify the claim of the Cramps that big
ships can bo built In the United States
equal to tiny in the world.
The development of the shipbuilding
industry of the country in this direction
is very much to bo desired , and whllo it
may bo regarded as certain ot attain
ment souio tlmo in the future it is obvi
ously important that the needed encour
agement shall not bo unnecessarily de
layed. The Fifty-first congress enacted
legislation designed to promote this de
velopment , but the results have not
boon altogether satisfactory. The stop
lakon by the present congress appeals
likely to bo moro beneficial. The ship
building interest of the country , taken
as n whole , Is now much moro extensive
than most people suppose , but It may bo
very materially enlarged to the great
advantage of a number ot olnor inter
ests.
TlIK HUHAI , SCHOOLS.
The Douglas County Teachers insti
tute is now in session and institutes are
also being hold in other counties of this
slate. It Is a matter of pndo to the citi
zens of Nebraska that this compara
tively young commonwonlth is making
rapid advancement in education and that
its percentage of Illiteracy is smaller
than that of any other state in the union ;
but there is yet much to bo done in the
direction of improvement , particularly
tn the rural districts. Rural schools
everywhere labor under disadvantages
resulting from various familiar causes ,
chief of which is the lack of BUflleiont
funds for the ot action and equipment of
good school' buildings and the payment
of adequate salaries to teachers. The
obstacles in the path of educational pro
gress in agricultural communities will
bo gradually overcome as the wealth of
the people increases and their npprocl-
tion of the needs of their children be
comes moro clear. It has often been
said that the farmer's boy , if pi von an
equal ohnnco , will Infallibly outstrip his
city cousin In cho attainment of life's
prizes and honors ; but whether this is
true or not ho is the equal of the city
boy at every point , and therefore it is
the greater pity that his bchool advan
tages nro often &o illsuitod to his needs.
The improvement of the country
schools depends to some extent Upon the
efforts of teachers in that direction , nnd
they can hardly Und a moro fruitful
topic for discussion , or ono that moro
closely roncorns the general public wel
fare. Wo have said that the rural
schools will bo improved as the ability
and willlnurncss of the people to support
them Incroabo ; but the influences which
the teachers may bring to boar by stim
ulating the popular appreciation of the
needs which they are so well nblo to
point out will not bo wasted , nnd per
haps they may boar fruit sooner than
they now dare to hope. The future of
Nobraskndeponds inno small degree
upon Uro oduc.itionnl advantages af-
fordoir to her rural sons and daughters.

The World-Iferuld cloofully refers to
"another strike of tariff-protected worK-
ingmen" as follows :
From Louisville , Ky. , cotnos the news that
201) raon employed at the Avcry plow fiiotory
nnvo struck because ot a reduction ot their
wngc1 * . This adds another to the many
strikes wulch Imvo occurred slneo tbo pas-
sago of the McKinley Dill in Industries pro
tected by the tariff tnxos wuloh that inw
lovici upon the people.
It is the policy of the free trade proas
to magnify all differences between workIngmen -
Ingmon and employers in this country
and to ascribe them dirjclly to the McKinley
Kinloy law , leu-Ing their readers to
infer that free trade would inaugurate
a period of harmony and put an end to
strikes forever.
Lot us inquire into the facts. During
the ton years from 1880 to 1891 , inclu
sive , the smallest number of strikes In
this country in any single year was in
1881 , when they aggregated . Involv
ing 147,051 persons ; and the greatest
number was in 1SSO , when there were
1,411 strikes , involving 49,489 ! ) persons.
Statistics are not at hand allowing how
many strikes have occurred in this
country since the McKinley law wont
into effect , but how do the nbovo figures
compare with the strike record of free
trade Great Britain ? In that parndiso
of free traders 3,1(11 ( strikcb occurred in
1889. In 1890 , according to the report
of the British Board of Trade , the num
ber of strikes olllcially reported in that
country was 1,028 , and in 7H8 ot" these
1192,081 persona were involved. This
shows that the number of strikes wits
much greater in Great Britain In 1800
than in this country , and according to
Senator Aldrich , whoso statements tire
not disputed , the number of persons In
volved was moro than thruo times as
great in proportion to the number engaged -
gaged in useful occupations in the two
countries respectively.
In the recent strike In the English
mining district of Durham 100.003 coal-
minors wont out and remained idle from
March 12 to Juno 1 , when they accepted
a reduction of 10 per cent.in wages. This
Htrilco also Involved the shutting down
of 100 blast furnaces in addition to the
suspension of mining operations.
These facts completely disarm the
critics of protection nnd prove conclu
sively that trco trade is not a thing to
bo dusirod ty the American working-
man. "

THE strike of tfo ! building trades In
Now York oity' ndodand the strikers ,
or ns many of them ns can Und employ
ment , have ro'iffied ' ( to work. About
15.000 men wore Idle for three months
on account ot this strike and no loss
than 12 j buildings , ninny of them great
ones , were abandoned by the workmen
employed in their construction. There
was no question of wages or hours of
labor. The strike was ordered because
ono of the architectural iron companies
employed nonunion man , and as usual it
was extended to ombrnco all the unions
having anything to do with building.
The loss of .tlm strikers Is estimated as
high as $1,000,000 , exclusive of the largo
bonolltB paid from the tioiuturics of some
of the unions. Ilnd ho mon boon con
tending for bolter wages or fewer hours
of labor their ohanco of success would
have boon bolter ; and in that case they
woula * have been told by the free trauo
press of the country that the republican
protective policy was to blame.
THE Builders and Traders exchange
sots an example of attention to business
which other organizations Intended to
promote public interests might very
well emulate. At the last mooting of
the exchange the principal subject of
discussion was irresponsible contractors ,
and a general doslro was manifested to
IInd a moans of suppressing them. It is
to ho hoped the matter will not bo dis
missed with this discussion , but will bo
steadily pursued until an olToctlvo way
bo found to shut out thu "snido" con
tractors. They constitute a class of
rogues who rob both capital and labor.
NEXT to the smoke nuisance our
municipal authorities will have to grapple -
plo with the garbage problem. Hauling
all our ga'bago to the dump on the
banks of the Missouri river cannot bo
continued very much longor. It is oven
a question whethqr in case of an epi
demic such as cholera it would become
n source of danger , not only to our own
people , but to the river towns below
Omaha. Sooner or later wo must cither
cremate our garbage or disinfect and
utilize it by chemical process.
THE BEE reiterates that Governor
McKinley did not receive 8350 or any
other sum for any of his speeches either
in Nebraska yr Iowa. The facts are
fully sot forth and corroborated by the
managers of the Beatrice Chautnuqun ,
the Council Bluffs Chnutuuqun and the
chairman of thp Qiniiha finance commit-
too. The charge that Governor McKinley
loy made the assertion that "tho con
sumer pays tho'tax" is too silly to need
attention. Nobod ' has ever suspected
Governor McKhiley 91 being a fool.

The dcbatn on the queen's speech showed

members of tbo House of Commons oxocctud
and demanded that homo rule should not bo
subordinated or postponed to any ether Isstio

that they were right. The campaign was
fought on the Issue of homo rule , and , though
the result of it may not bo described as a
"blank chock" to Mr. Gladstone's order , It
wus a vote of confidence that ho could pro
duce a satisfactory bill. If ho cannot pro
duce a bill that will satisfy his
supporters , then homo rule , for the
urcsout , is defeated and Mr. Gladstone ought
not to bo In ofllco. A very favorable
sign for him Is thu agreement of tha Wulsn
momber.1 that uoma rule should bo put first
In the parliamentiirv program , provided
Welsh disestablishment is put second. It
must bo remembered that the sentiment of
Wales Is as zealous and bound a Protestant
ism as provuils In any part of the United
Kingdom. A declaration In favor of homo

cence iti the spending by Irish "papists"
of their own money upon Catholic Institu

of tbo money of VYolsh Protestants on Angli

stands , in fact , upon the saino footing with

A direct and straightforward answer has
boon made by the president of the Swiss
coufuaurailou to tbo repeated attempts dur
ing the last few years to induce the little republic -
public to loin the triple alliance. Speaking
nt an ofilclnl b.inquot In connection with the
triennial federal shooting meeting , hold at
UlnrU , President llausor declared In tbo
matt explicit toruii that the Swiss are firmly
resolved to fulfil tnolr duties nnd rosponsi-
bllltles ns n ncntr.il slate. "Wo ahall re

from whatever quarter they may como. It
Is not In vain that wo havn spent millions in
fortifying the San Uothard passe * and In
equipping our nrmyvlthn qutck-firlnji rlllo
of small caliber. For wo have thus shown
our strong desire to defend our neutrality
anil our Intention to rostn by force ot arms all
attempts to vlotnto It , no matter from what
side the attempts miy 03 made. " These
patriotic words Imvo been endorsed by the
press of every shade of political opinion
throughout the length nml UMivltk of
Switzerland. They possess a moro than or
dinary significance just nt the present mo
ment , when so much notlvtty of n military
character Is apparent on the Alplno frontier
ot Italy. Thorc Is n fooling , both ill Franoo
ana In Switzerland , that all this activity
bodes no eood for peace , especially when It
is considered that the Italian government Is

that the last ministerial crisis turned upon
the disproportion between the military ox-
pcndtturo ana the narrow resources ot the
national treasury.

The restlessness which prevails among the
people of Kuropo shows no signs of nbato-

ion is to bo hold In Vienna in November to
nroparo a petition to the powers of Kuropo in
favor of n general federation ol the nation
alities mat ewe allegiance to the Austrian
emperor. For years thura has boon a disor
ganizing spirit at work In Austria-Hungary ,
and the government has boon compelled to
adopt a policy of compromise which was uo-
scrlbod by Count Taafo ns "rubbing along. "
The great strig lo hat always boon between
Germanism and Slavism , Bohemia being the
chief battle ground. The young Czech party ,
which lias t'rown with great rapidity , has
persistently demanded the restoration of the
kingdom of Bohemia by the coronation of
the otnporor nt Prague nnd the proclamation
of an independent constitution , lllio that of
Hungary , under which thoGorman language
could bo suppressed ; whllo the young Ger
mans have yearned for Incorporation with

In ttio Morocco question England has com
mercial and strategic Interests at stake.
What slender Historical claim she has to as
cendancy In Morocco Is based upon her
former possession of Tancler , which was
coded hy the Portuguese to England on the
marriagoof Katharine ot Draganza to Charles
II. The fact that slio did not think the town
worth keeping when she had it loft her with
out any tltlo valid In international law. But
the Engll'ih are doubtless right in thinking
that If foreigners were allowed to acquire
real cstato and to work mines In
Morocco , and if the oxlstlncr obstruc
tions to foreign trade were removed -
moved , they would reap the lion's share of
tno profits derivable from such opportuni
ties. They nro also well nwaro that If an
other European power were firmly planted
on the African slrto of the strait the advan
tage which they draw from the possession of

\Vnbar Republican : Tbo ticket is ono that
commands iu > elf to the hearty support of
every republican in tha state.
Soliuyler Sun : Thorn will bo no kicking on
the tlukot from any quarter except Jrom the
numerous enemies of the republican party.
The ticket doesn't suit them tit ull wo huvo
hoard that already !
Norfolk Journal ; The state republican
ticket wins party approval oynrywhere , lu
the case of Judge Crounso the oflicQ scoks
the man , and if in some other cases the mon
sought the ofltcos they are mon who arc
eminently well qualified to fill thum.
Osceola Hooord : Every republican of Ne
braska can roll up his sleoyos and go to work
with u clear conscience , rejolclnir in itio fact
that bo is supporting tbo best llokul lu the
field , both state nnd national. Hurrah for
the "grand old party" nud 1U clean , capable
candidates ,
\YabooWasp : With the ticket composed
of good , clean men from top to bottom , and
no factional fights within its ranks , tbo re
publican party In Nebraska enters this cam
paign in bi'tlor lighting trim tlmn It has for
years , and this means an old-tlmo republican
majority next November.
Madlion Chronldo : Crounso's record is
unassailable in every purtluulur. No man In
the state who bus ucon In public IIfo as long
as Mr. Crounso bus. suuh a clean , honest tuc-
ord to point to as ho. The republican parly
nominated Its most available cauUuluto and
ono who will unlto and cement the party in a
bo.ul of strength that will swoop the stnlo
this fall nnd place Nebraska where she
rightfully belongs. In tlm republican column ,
Seward Ulndo ! The selection ot Judge
rjrounso Is the best nomination the conven
tion could have mndo. Ho U a clean , able
and Incorruptible man , against whom no
shadow of n charge of nny sort can bo mndo.
His public nnd private llfo Is without n
blemish.
Wnkonold Republicans Tbo republicans
of Nebraska have nominated nn Invincible
ticket. Their platform Is plain English and
Is right in line ot all pranlcal reform.
When It coinns to reform the grand old re
publican party Is nt homo , for that Is Its
uu < ilnc < a , Every man on the state ticket Is
a tower of strength and every man ol them
will bo elected.
Wayne Herald : The selection of the dtf-
fetoni nominees for state ofllcos has never
boon equated from a standpoint of wisdom ,
livery man selected is a clean , competent
nii'l ' energetic citizen nnd an bonost nnd true
republican. The selection of .ludgo Lorenzo
Crounso of Washington county was the
wisest ever made by the republican party In
the state , and Is so conoodoiT by tbo demo
crats ,
Flllmoro County Republicans The repub
lican stnto convention did a noble thing In
thu choice nf a standard bearer. The net of
this convention removed the party from tbo
Influences so long surrounding It , nnd It can
now go before tha people's party run by the
pcoplo. Crounso is n man In whom the volor
recognizes a friend. Ho Is nil anti-monopoly
republican nnd bchovoi In a Government by
the paoplo.
Pnwnoo City Komtbllcan : The ticket
named by the republican state convention Is
a strong ono , and It will win because every
man on It has been tried and not fountl
wanting. Judge Crounso for governor Is ono
of the oldest settlers In Nobrn ua.
Ilo has boon Identified with every movement
calculated to upbuild the state , and from the
birth of the republican party has bcon high
In Us counsels.
Tolcamah durtonlan : The republican
state convention did Its work well and nomi
nated n ticket uhlch should secure the vote
of every good , loyal , thinking clli/.on of Ne
braska. It Is a ticket that means sure suc
cess. There nro no demagogues on the
ticket nor mon whoso rocqrds have to bo
defended or whitewashed. Under the
tcndorsntp of Loron/o Crounso , repub
licanism will march to sure victory this fall.
Hastings Nebraskan : It is becoming more
and moro pntuni each day that the nomina
tion of Judge Crouusa lor governor was ono
of the wisest things the republican party of
Nebraska ever did. Ho was n gallant
soldier , a prumlnor.t member ot the legal
bar , an nblo and upright jurist nncl un Incor-
ruottblo federal officer. Mr. Crounsu's roo-
ord IK unassailable. Ho will bo alociod bv
the largest majority a state ofllcor ever ro
colvod In Nebraska.
Central City Nonpareil : The nomination
or Judge Crounso Is the strongest possible
nomination the republicans could have mado.
Ilo has filled various ofllcos ot trust with
croalt to himself , honor to his party and sat
isfaction to the state , nnd us governor will
make nn executive tbat the atnto will bo
proud of. The remainder of the tlckot was
judiciously selected , unites all factions of the
partv nnd will bo triumphantly elected on
the Sin of November.
Beatrice Times : Judge Crounso. the nom
inee for governor , bas boon a resident of the
state for thirty yours and lias bcon conspicu
ous In public lifo a prcator portion of the
tlmo. Ho has always boon In line with the
anti-monopoly sentiment of the party and In
every Instance charaoterizud a man of great
ability and undoubted honesty. The repub
licans enter the campaign under iavoraolo
circumstances , nnd with n united nnd per-
sUtont effort there can bonoquosMon that
the state will roll up her old-tlmo republican
majority.
Blair Pilot : The nomination of Judge
Urounso for governor carries with It to
every nook nnd corner of Nebraska , confi
dence and exultation , and this fooling
extends to the whole tlckot. At no time
previous In the historv of this state has
there been such general nnd unanimous ex
pressions of partisan approval of the work
of a republican convention as in the present
instance. Those expressions of approval are
not conllnoj to these who usually vote tbo
republican tlckot. With no dissenting voice
in their own party republican 'enthusiasm
is oncouriged bv fnvorabla oxprosslous from
all shades of political thinkers. All concede
tha strength of the tlckot and tbo wisdom of
its selection , but more particularly does
Washington county fi-ol gratified , and her
cltbons may bo pardoned for exhibiting a
llttlo extra enthusiasm based on local pride.
Lincoln News : Never beioro has there
boon n ticket presented to the pcoplo of Ne
braska that bas possessed su many elements
of strength as the tlckot nominated by tbo
republican party in tbisclty last Fridnv. In
the first place , although thora were sharp
contests , no bitterncbs remains after tbo con
vention , nnd there will bo a harmonious uni
fication of all genuine republican interests.
Judge Crounse , as has boon pointed out by
the News , has nn nntl-monopnlv recordttnt
will commend him to the Independents , es
pecially these who , alsgusted by tbo utter
hopelessness of uccompilshlncr anything by
the ofTorts of their party , are now
manifesting a disposition "to uct ra
tionally and como into the republican
party. Then his array record is cieditablo
in the oxtromo. Ilo box the confidence of the
business men of Omaha , irrespective of
politics. Thora are no oloraonts that will bo
antagonized by his candidacy , nud tlioro nro
circumstances that insure a considerable
democratic votu for tbo republican nominee.

All broke up
The styles are broken , the sizes are broken and
what's best of all , the prices are broken
too. This break has broke out all over
the house. Men's suits , boys' suits , un
der garments , negligee shirts , shirt
waists , pants , all in this breaking up
sale of broken summer goods. It won't
break you to buy one of these broken
suits for you won't have to break a very
big bill to get a very o'ig bargain.
These oilds and ends , although all broke
up , are of our usual high quality and must be got out
of the way within the next few days. We buy our
goods to sell them , not to keep them. Trice sometimes
is no object , especially when the suits are all broke up.
