ANDKKW DIOKSON WIHTK in his grout speech at Cliautauqua Monday made some startling statements of the growth of crime in llils country. Among other things he said that crime id in creasing more rapidly In the United Htatoa than in any other nation In the world and that only one murderer out of fifty was convicted and oxouutod. The reason for this he assigns Inrgoly to the extreme leniency of jurloa and goVornoiu The Clay-lClnjj 0.110 is u notable example.

From beginning to end this st.itomont concerning the Curnoglo company , the wages it pays and-tho profit it pockets , does not boar a faint semblance to the truth. The Carnegie works only manufacture 12 per cent of the total output of the steel mills of the United States. That moans that S3 per cent of the product of American stool mills is manufactured in other lactorios. The tarilt on steel billets was lowered by the MuKiuloy bill , and if every dollar of tarlll imposed is n tax upon the consumer and a rob bery of the workingman employed in the production of protected commodities , then the McKinley tariff so far as it re lates to the products of the Carnegie mills operated In the direction of lower ing taxes and reducing the burdens of the workingman. The truth is that the MuKlnloy tiirlfl reduced the duty on stool beams from li cents to nine-tenths of a cent per pound. The price of steel billets has dropped from S27 to $22.75 per ton since 1890. That fact within iUolf would reduce the profits , computed by the impostors who purposely misrepresent the stiito of affairs at Homestead , by moro than one-half. But inasmuch as the computation is mndo on the basis that Carnegie receives the entire profit of all the steel product of the country , when , in fact , ho only manufactures 1- per cent of the stool product , the whole charge turns out to boa tissue of falbo- hood- < . The statement that the Carnegie com pany pays only 81.1)3 ) for all the labor required in the manufacture of a ton of steel billets is so foolish that oven the Worhl'JIcmld ought to bo ashamed of it. 4.I1U JUUl < bllllb IJUU lUiill 1UUU1YU3 < Pl..r'-l ll/l the labor which ho performs on a. ton of stool is used by that preposterous free- trade organ as a basis for the claim that only $1.0" ) worth of labor is required for its production. It would be a waste of words to point out the absurdity of this argument. Equally silly is the state ment that Carnegie's share of this rob bery of the workingman that is , his share of the difference between 81.03 and $8.82 per ton is $5,000 per day , and that his partners get as mucn more. The men employed in the Carnegie mills have boon earning all the way from $1.10 to 88.70 a day , while the earnings of the most skilled English steel workers do not exceed $3 a day , with the wages of the unskilled in pro portion down to GO cents a day. With this foreign labor American manufacturers could not possibly compote pete without a protective tariff. A re peal of the tariff on steel and iron products would close nine-tenths of all the iron and steel mills in the United States within six months nnd pauperize hun dreds of thousands of workingmen who are now earning wages that enable them to live in comfort , while their children are educated in the public schools without cost. The Carnoglos and other successful mill men have grown rich not so much by the protective tariff as by the ac quisition of patents for improved methods of manufacture nnd by the massing of their capital in risky ventures. Wo do not eay that the Carnegie com pany cannot afford to pay bettor wages than it does. That Is not the question. Wo only s'iy that the arguments of the free traders show that they arc dishon est or else totally incapable of compre hending the tariff problem. xinittiSKA IK Nebraska is misrepresented in the Fifty-socond congress. The viowa of public policy of her throe representa tives are not In accord with the opin ions of n majority of her peoplo. The democratic congressman in n free trader. Ho is the author of several free trade measures that passed the house , and his public utterances sliow him to bo bit terly hostile to the American uystom of protection and in favor of a policy which , however designated , is in effect free trade. Only a very small minority of the people of Nebraska believe that it would bo a good thing for the United Status to adopt the English system and thereby destroy American industries or reduce American labor .to the British level. The alliance congressmen misrepre sent , as to most of the doctrines they advocate , the majority of the people of Nebraska. The financial views of these congro.sdinon do not agree with those of the limbos of the intelligent voters of this bU-.le. The proposition that the general government bhall issue paper currency to an almost unlimited uxient would , If biibmlttud to the puoplo of Ne braska as a distinct issue , bo overwhelm ingly rejected. The number of intelli gent mun in this state who advocate the suhtroarfury plan , or any llKo expudiunt for inflating the currency , IH relatively very small. In other respects , also , thuao alliance congressmen do not rep- rosont. the general sentiment of the thoughtful puoplo of IS'ob'iiska. This state will have six representatives in the Fifty-third congress. There Is every reason to expect that a majority and possibly all of them will bo republicans. In the ditftriota whuro republican can didates for congress have been nomi nated excellent selections have been made. All are men of good ability and1 high character , thoroughly in sympathy with the national policy of the party , and would represent the slate credit ably , Hvery one of them innrUs the popular cunlldenco , and if the voters of the several districts have adequate ap preciation of the importance to the state of being Intelligently unit properly rep resented In congress , ull of tuotu will bo elected. Nebraska U without character or Influence in the present congress simply for the reason that she is dis credited by the character of her repre sentatives. It will bo most unfortunate if Uils is continued In the next congress. Undoubtedly the electoral vote of Nebraska will ba cast for Bjnjamln Harrison. Few intelligent observer * question this result , notwithstanding the proposed fusion of the democracy and the popilllst p.xrty. All signs are fuvorablo to the ro-oloctlon of the pres ident. There are equally good reasons for balioving that the next house of rep resentatives will bo ropublicin. In the event of those promises being verified the advantage to Nebraska of having a republican delegation in congress is obvious. At uuy rate the paoplo of this state should not allow themselves to bo misrepresented In the Fifty-third congress - gross as they are bolng In the Fifty- second. The inlluonco of Nebraska upon national legislation , the interests of the state so far as they may bo affected by congress , and the credit of Us people for intelligence and honesty regarding questions of public policy , all demand that the classes of politicians who now compose its delegation shall not bo re turned to congress. The differences between the Board of Education and city council regarding the quarters to DO occupied by the board in the city hall still remain unsettled. There Is no doubt that the board has been shabbily treated ' by the council. The board furnished'tho lirst $20,000 expended - pondod in the foundation of the city hall building. This money was furnished on the stipulation tlmt one-eighth of the available space in the city hall building should bo reserved for use of the Board of Education , and the board was to have the privilege of designating the manner in which the spucc sot jipart to it was to bo laid out. That agreement was based upon an estimated oost of $200,000 , the limit fixed by the Myers plan. The abandonment of that plan and the con struction of a building that costs over $100,000 did not relieve the .council from its obligation to assign the board proper quarters in the city hall building. The board may not bo entitled to occupy one- eighth of the space , but it ought to have boon consulted regarding the divi sion of the rooms and it should have been courteously mot half way when it asked for the privilege of occupying its quarters. hairsplitting and standing on ceremony. The city hull is not the property of councllmen or members of the school board. These bodies" are simply public servants for whoso accommodation the ttixpa brs have erected a public build ing. The board has no right to refuse to move into this building just because the members of a co-ordin.ito branch of the city government have been discour teous or unaccommodating' . The most sensible thing for the board to ( lo is to move into the building without further delay and take its chances upon bettor accommodations when the members of the board and council got bettor ac quainted with each other. TIIK mscuxmx Wisconsin has been classed among the doubtful states this year. Four years ago it gave a republican plurality of 21,321 , but in 1800 a democratic gov ernor was ducted , by a plurality of 8- IJ20 , every democratic candidate for con gress being also elected. In no other state was the political change of that year more swooping , and as there has been nothing since to indicate a material weakening of the democratic hold the state i.s regarded in most of the estimates as doubtful. The republicans of Wisconsin realize that they have a hard fight on hand and they have entered into it by putting their btrongcat men at the front , sink ing all differences and uniting for an aggros3ivo campaign. They huvo nom inated as their candidate for governor ox-Senator Spoonor , and a bolter selec tion could not have been made. There were several aspirants for the honor , which was not sought by Spoonor , but when ho consented to be the candidate all others promptly withdrew and ho wa.s nominated by acclamation. Thu cx-3onntur is ono of the distin guished republicans of the country , u man of eminent ability and unblemished character. lie occupied a prominent place among the loaders of the United Slides semite and ho could have had a place on the supreme bench if he had desired it. If any man can redeem Wisconsin from democratic control ho will do so , and a most vigorous canvass under his leadership is assured. Having accepted the nomination at the urgent call of the party ho will have no disaf fection to overcome , but will bo able to summon to his support a united and har monious organization. There is a moro hopeful outlook for the republicans with Spoonor as their leader. The democracy , which ob tained power largely by reason of its position on the Educational issue , lias not shown either marked capacity or honesty in Its administration of affairs. The Mpportlonmont of the legislative districts was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court of the stale , and in other respects the extreme partisan course of the party hun douDtloss lost it favor with many of those who two years ago went to it from the republican ranks. With so nblo and popular u leader us ox-Sonalor Spoonor the repub licans of Wisconsin ought to make u whining fight for both the state and na tional tickets. Titnxa TO rum , run PROPM : . The democrats are disposed to cull the present prodldontiul contest n "cam paign of education. " This Is u departure from the traditional campaign policy of the democracy , and therefore it exposes the parly to suspicion. Democratic campaign * have hitherto boon planned with the view of practicing upon the p-ujudicos and pa&slona of the Ignorant. Ib it true that tho. supporters of Grover Cluvelund now propose to appeal to the intelligence of the people ? Lot us boo how they do it In previous campaigns the democrats huvo always made n greut disturbance about republican legislative extravagance. After the adjournment of the Fifty-first congress a great howl was raised concerning the axtrnvngnnuo o | Iho "bllllon-doHur congress - gross , " Doimianvtlu newspapers and orators became 'frantic with apprehen sion and rng 'A'is ' they contemplated what that congrosd had done in the way of appropriations. All over the land the "billion-dollar congress" was bold up us mi cxumple'of republican extrava gance. A bllU6h dollars , of course , Is a great sum , andnjt is not strange that many people .woro alarmed when they were told thntitd ) siiros had boon passed by a republican congress providing for Ihooxpciidttui-obf so much money. It Is not necessary ti'ow to explain why Hie appropriations of the Fifty-first congress wcro large. It is suillclont to say that the money was not wasted. But what did the democratic congress do in the session just closed ? The aggregate direct appropriations during the ses sion just closed wore $35,070,808.78 moro than those of the republi can "billion-dollar" congress. In ad dition to this * excess , the present roll- gross uuthori/.cd contracts and expendi tures on account of river and harbor improvements to the amount of 331,700. 521. Other expenditures by this congress - gross muko the grand total of $510,30- ! ) 000.57 , or tin excess of about $77,000,000 over the " " "billion-dollar" republican congress. So much for the first session. The second session is always moro free of expenditures than the first , and us there will bo no restraint of an approaching preaching presidential election it is certain that the second session will appropriate the public money with a lavish hand. Those facts prove that the democratic pretense of economy in a dohitlon and'a snuro. At present the democratic lead ers are not , saying anything about the "billion-dollar congress. " They know that the action of their parly in con gress bus destroyed that argument. But they are trying to fool Iho people with deceptive statements concerning the ef fects of our Industrial policy. The people plo are too familiar with free trade fal lacies to bo humbugged into supporting any party or c indidato that prefers to promote the prosperity of England at the expense of our own country. A SOMKWIIAT unusual and Interesting bit of political news comes from Louisi ana. It is the report of a movement among the sugar and rice planters of ono of the congressional districts of the state , chiefly democrats , of course , to send a ropublic'in to congress. The explanation is that the democratic representatives have been attacking the tariff on rice n \d \ sugar , and , under the circumstances the planters have come to the conclusion that In order to protect their interests and those oi the st ito it is necessary lo sand republicans , to congress. "What wo want , " say'tljto ' planters , "is to send a man to eongres. who can got into the workings of a jJnrty that is favorable to ' ur interests , rf/i"i / , ' further , wo want to send a liberal man , a man who is in fa vor of protecting pur industries. "There are numerous interesting developments in southern politics now-a-d.ys , of which this Is certainly ( nio , for the mqvomont is said lo'bo sp'reailing in Louisiana. It is inspired by solf-lntcrost , but there is a grout deal of .such .interest in the south and it-is growing every year. The time will come when others than sugar and rice planters will demand to bo repre sented in congress by men who nro in favor of protecting their industries and will have such representatives. TIIK domocwts of Iowa in their con vention yesterday were boisterously silent about the "parsimony" of the recent rongrcss. Hero is what they said last year about Iho republican congress which spent $44.- 402,870 loss than their own prudent and economical ooncross which just ad journed : "Wo denounce the wasteful and lavish appropriations of the last congress , which in time of profound peace expended an amountequal to onu- 'third the total public debt incurred for the preservation of the union. This billion-dollar congress marks the final effort of desperate politicians to perpetuate - potuato themselves in power.

Democratic politicians in Douglas county are sadly missing Ibo man with the qold- hoadcd cane , ox-Council Bluffs Mayor Vaughan , , vho had such a pull on fulloggcd candidates. Omaha and Douglas county have not boon wull represented1 In the last , two so-isions of tbo legislature. The commercial nnd politi cal Importance of Omaha and South Omaha demand a higher grade of men in the legis lature. Tnoro Is a demand for men who have made a success in llfo , and especially man of good business ability. Should the business men of Omaha make ttio issue and come to the front in .support of a higher class of men for the legislature the city would profit Im measurably as a result. Judge Allen W. Ftold , the republican nominee for conn-ess m the First district , has resigned from the bonch. Ho casts off the judicial ermine October 1 , so that his party may elect u successor at the sama oloi- lion which will sontl him to congress. The resignation emphasizes his contldoacu in his own election and makes the way easv for u strong and vigorous campaign in his behalf. There was not much interest in Mars' np- ' poarancu among the dotnocrntic politicians. Wo understand ttio democracy has few astronomers - tronomers , out many gastronomers. It is pretty well understood that the load ers of tbo people's party are all wearing per forated hats this year. "Say , Boss , d'yo see dis nickel ? " said u Burlington sleeping car porter , with a crin that disciosod two rows of ivory tooth In an honest , black faco. The train had stopped , the gong had rung , and a party of politicians were .hurriedly making way with a sandwich and coffee at the lunch counter. The porter had singled out an acquaintance and proceeded to toll his story. This porter , by tlio way , has boon catering to the wants of sleeping car passen gers for a number of years and knows most of the prominent politicians of the state. Ho also knows how to work tnem for tips and if nny of them got away it has never boon his fault. Congressman Kom , ho said , usd ridden in his car for two days and nights. Kom had received at his hands the most subservient attention and had exacted so much service that follow passengers got the Impression that possibly Iho porter was His Majesty's body servant. But the porter hud dutifully met every requirement , while in his breast lurlted the fond hope that at the end of the run Ills reward would bo ample and in por- , feet keeping with the dignity and ponoroslty of a inotnbor of congroas nt .UUl ) a year. The last day's ride had boon a hot and dusty ono. Kern's patent leather pumps hud been nicely cleaned , wrapped up and put in the Wg valioo nnd the heavy , high top boots nnd been tukon out , polished by the porter nnd after n doipcrato slrugglo in tbo state room Keni had auccooded in getting his feat into Ibein. The broadcloth Prlnco Albert had boon thoroughly dusted , scrupulously folded and put away fflld the long , time worn linen duster that bad boon many n hard fought battle on the Custer county busting : ) , again adorned the Apollo- lllio frame of tlio stuicman from the Big tiixth. The silk tlio , lee , had been taken down from tbo peg on the larboard side of the berih , stroked with the nicety of a connoisseur and lucked away In the baok- nuinbor hat box carried expressly for the occasion. The sweat stained Hlouch that Kom hud worn "lion putting that mortgage on his farm bad been llshed out of the bottom of tbo valise , brushed up by the porter and placed on ICoiu's masslvo brow. When all this had boon done , tbo meta morphosis was complete. The sleek con gressman who had all summer long posed in the hotel rotundas of Washington , stonped off the cars at Omaha the pursontllcatloa of simplicity or manner and dress. Ho carried the hat box while the porter lugged his baggage. Tlio supreme moment was nt hand. Visions of a shining gold piece or two or throe big round dollars chased ono another in Ibo mind of tno faithful valet. The states man's baggage was deposited on Iho depot platform , and the look of eager * expectancy on tbo darkey's face caused ICom's heurl lo melt.

In Iho light of Itils possibility it Is highly prob able that there will be a renewal in Mr. Wanainakor's annual ronort of the recom mendation for n reduction of letter postage to I cent per ounce.

J3e- fore IS ir > the letter rnlo was n complicated one. It was reduced and n uniform ralo of 5 cents was established In thai. year In the face of a small deficiency in the revenue. In 1851 the loiter rate was 'reduced lo U cents nnd in ISbll to 2 cents. Kadi of thcso reductions was preceded by a smalt surplus.
