IT WAS Gladstone who "sat down on"

TYi-KSKTTKUS in England got 14

and consequently the typesetters in
America are not going to allow the

prejudice ngatnst n candidate on the re
publican ticket.
IT LOOKS very much as if all the re
publicans should do so far as the south
ern Btutoa are concerned is to keep tboir
hands off and lot the democrats flght it
out. Nothing can bo gained by divert
ing their attcmtion to a common object
of hatred. They will work out republican -

HOT A iriNxtxa
Ono of tlio most inlluontinl newspapers
in the stale of Now York , the Rochester -
tor I'ost'l'lxprcss ' , an indopondunt jour
nal , with n tendency toward democracy
of the hotter sort , has this : "Wo ba-
liuvo that an immediate reform ot the
tariff on frco trndo lines , whir.h is the
policy professed in the democratic na
tional convention , would produce grave
business disaster to begin with , wliat-
ever good results might como from the
now system in'the future. The pro
tective policy has boon in vogue since
1789) ) the development of the country
has boon forced ; millions of people have
immigrated anti found employment ; cap
ital hits boon turned into unwonted enterprises -
torprisos ; the business of the country
and its social Ufa hnvo boon adapted to
existing conditions. It stands to reason
that any sudden ohnnco would bo disas
trous. "
Tills is a fair statement of the nosition
of thousands of people who favor tarllT
reform , but who do not favor the present
free trndo policy of the democratic
party. The free trade plank In the
democratic platform does not by any
moans command tlio approval of all who
are opposed to the provisions of the Me-
Kinloy law. This is well understood by
those who are endeavoring to substitute
the "force bill" for the McKinley bill as
an object of attack for campaign pur-
pojcs. Certainly not more than half of
these who habitually vote the demo
cratic ticket are prepared to favor free
trade. They can stand tariff reform ,
but when free trudo is proposed they are
disposed to inqul'-o what would bo the
consequences of such radical change.
It thus appears that these who op
posed a frco trade declaration in the
Chicago convention were not ignorant
of the f.ict that n considerable element of
the democratic party would not favor
an attack upon the protective principle.
Upon this issue the party is divided , and
as the "force bill" is not a living issue
it cannot bo reasonably expected that it
will reuse any enthusiasm. Compara
tively few people know what is meant
when the "force bill1'1 is referred to.
There is nothing to excite them in the
fact Unit a monsuro introduced in the
last congress to protect the b.illot box
was killed. They will find it impossible
to see how a c.unp Ugn issue can bo
made out of such in ttorial.
It will bo found that a very consider
able element of the democratic party
will not accept free trado. Even these
who favor tariff reform will prefer the
present protective law to the adoption
of a system that would bring disaster
upon the industries of this country.
NEUHASKA ON WUKKLS.
The committee- the Nebraska Busi
ness Men's association having chartro of
the preparations for sending out train
No. 2 of Nobraslca products , will moot
with.tho olllcors of the state fair at Lin
coln , September 8 , when final arrange
ments for the display will be mado. The
train will leave Omaha Sontombor 23 ,
and will travel through a different sec
tion of the country from that of last year.
A fine exhibit is already assured , but
there is some spnco yet to bo filled , and
counties that desire to thus advertise
their resources ana have made no pro
vision tor an exhibit should make liasto
to do so. Itought ] not to bo necessary to
urge the importance or the duty of mak
ing this second exhibit of Nebraska on
wheels as full and complete a display of
the resources of the state as it is possi
ble to got together. It is intended to
make it moro extensive than that of last
year , and there should bo nothing lack
ing to render it more attractive. There
can bo no question as to tlio success of
last year's experiment. It might not bo
easy to trace to it any direct results , but
that there were benefits from it does not
admit of n doubt , and of sulllciont value
to fully repay tlio cost.
But at any rate enterprises of this
kind are not expected to bring an imme
diate return. They sow the seed for n
future harvest , and the train which Ne
braska will send out this year , if it bo
freighted with such an exhibit of tlio
products and resources of the state as
can bo made , will not fail to bring
profitable returns in the not far future.
There is no bolter plan for making the
people of ether sections of tlio country ,
from which we expect to obtain popula
tion , familiar with tha capabilities of
Nobraslca , and it must bo made as com
plete an exhibit of our resources us
possible. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TllK HUffKST MOXKl' ISSUU.
The question of maintaining u sound
and a table currency , every dollar of
which , paper or coin , issued by the
government shall bo as good ns any
ether , must not bo lost sight of in tlio
pending campaign. It is only loss im
portant than the question of maintain
ing the American system of protection ,
which the democratic party has de
clared in ita national platform to bo a
fraud and n robbery.
The fact must bo Icopt prominent in
the attention of the voters of the coun
try that the democratic party is com
mitted , through the action of its repre
sentatives in congress , in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of sllvor.
That record shows those facts : On
March 21 the vote on the Bland hill in
the house was 1110 democrats for and 81
against , the measure , a majority of1 ! )
in favor of free sllvor. At the same
time 07 republicans voted against the
bill and only 11 for it , the republican
majority ugninat the measure being CO.
It was tills almoJt unanimous ropuollcan
vote in opposition to the Hlunil free sll
vor bill that defeated it. A.'aln on July
18 , when the Stewart senate bill , nn extreme -
tromo free coinage measure , was voted
on in the hoini > , it HCCUI-OU a democratic
majority of 2l ! , and It was defeated by
the nearly solid vote of the rapubllcans.
It was the devotion of tlio small
republican minority to sound financial
principles which on both these occasions
saved the democracy from itself , uut
none the loss tlio p\vty : was distinct/ !
committed to thu free coinauro of ullvor
and it cannot escape from tills record.
Nor do all of Its loaders dculro to do so ,
for Speaker Crisp and Congressman Mo-
Mlllln of Tennessee have boon tolling
their constituents that the free coinage
of sllvor tuts not boon clofimted but only
postponed. Those men , who represent
the now dominant element in the demo-
orutio v rty , believe that if the democ
racy sliou Id nocu.ro control of tlio gov
ernment it would open the mints of the
country to the sllvor of the world , and
that is ( ho belief nnd thodosiro of nonrly
every democrat in the nouth and of a
majority of the party in the north. The
fact that Mr. Cleveland belong ! ) to the
minority element Of the parly that is
opposed to this policy is not sulllciont
assurance that it would not prevail in
the event of democratic- success next
November.
This is not the only danger to th o
maintenance of n sound nnd sifo'cur-
roncy that would como from democratic
success. That party lias declared in
favor of repealing the tux on state bank
issues , and thus virtually for a restora
tion of the wild-cat currency of n third
of n century ago. At least onn bill was
introduced in the house of representa
tives , subsequent to the Chicago con
vention , for tilts purpose , nnd it is unquestionable -
questionable lhat the democracy as a
party favors such legislation. Even
free trade could hardly work greater
Injury lo the people than would n ro-
tuinoftho stale bank currency. No
body who remembers whnt the character -
actor of that currency was before the
war will need to bo told that its restora
tion would bo ono of the gravest finan
cial evils with which tlio country could
bo afiliotod. It would Inevitably result
in such disaster to all interests as vis
ited the country in 1837 and 18)7 , tlio
panics of which periods were directly
duo to an enormous inflation ot worth
less state bank currency.
Free coinage ot silver nnd the restora
tion of state bank issues nro the cur
rency ' 'reforms" ' which the democratic
party favors. The first would reduce
the monetary system of the country to
the slnglo silver standard , while the
second would open the way to wide
spread fraud which would fall heaviest
upon thobo least able to boar the loss
the farmers and the > vagoworkors.
itr TO OMAHA.
Abundant testimony has from time to
time boon given through the columns of
Till : BKK as to the rich resources of n
territory tributary to Omaha in the Big
Horn region of Wyoming. While it is
line that Nebraska's resources still
invite development and that thousands
of acres of good soil in this stake are yet
untilled it is equally true that the Inter
ests of Omaha as a commercial center
and distributing point require that
attention bo given to every promising
new field that is naturally tributary to
this city. Making all duo allowance for
the enthusiasm of these who are inter
ested in the undeveloped country to the
northwest of us it is evident that the
Hold olTors inducements lo the Omaha
capitalist and that it may bo made pro
fitable to the manufacturing and trade
interests of this city.
A soil of extraordinary fortllily and
productiveness and mineral resources
of rich promise will make the Big Horn
region a source of wealth to these who
shall finally pluck up the necessary cour
age to apply themselves to ils develop
ment. The enterprise that does this
should bo Omaha enterprise , and this
city should reap the advantages which
would naturally result from being first
in the field. The profitable1 employ
ment of local capital and the extension
of the market for local products of all
kinds would bo an advanlngolo this city
in many ways. The matter is worthy of
careful investigation.
TI1K GRKATXBSS Of IOWA.
The majestic growth of our eastern
neighbor is ono of Iho sources of pride
of the west and the wonder of strangers.
And yet there is nothing irregular nor
abnormal about that' growth. Iowa's
progress has been not like n feverish
fitful ptilso , but like the steady current
of health Moro than any ether stuto is
% Iowa typical of the entire country. It is
the groal average state. Its ralo of in
crease of population has been during
the lust decade exactly the same as that
of the United States as a whole , and its
rank , tenth , remains-tho same. Chiefly
of an agricultural sort , its resources are
developing rapidly in the lines of manu
facturing and commerce. There are no
largo cities nnd it is not likely that
there over will bu , on account of the sit
uation of the state and the chat-actor of
its soil. But there are largo prosperous
towns bearing the substantial signs of
prosperity , comfort and happiness. Tlio
growth of population in the last dccado
has been phenomenal when one con
siders the vast army of restless immi-
Brants , who loft for bettor lands , nnd
seldom found thorn , and the adverse
legislation of over-wise statesmen nnd
politicians. And her growth in wealth
has boon very much out of proportion to
her growth in population.
A moro glance may bo cast at Iowa's
claims lo greatness. First of all , Iowa
boasts the highest rank in education.
The proportion of illiteracy is smallest
there of all the states in the union. There
nro more Iowa students In colleges of
that nnd ether states in proportion to
population than any oilier state can
boast. This educational distinction Iowa
has proudly enjoyed for twenty years.
In material resources her prowess is
great. Take the great cereals , for ex
ample , corn , outs and whoal. The Iowa
crop of corn in IBS ! ) was ono-sixth of the
entire crop of the United States nnd was
greater by 110,000,000 bushels tlrin that
of the nearest stuto , Illinois ! In oats
Iowa ranks a close second to Illinois and
her average per acre Is highest of all.
The climulo precludes oxtonslvo wheat
growing but the rank of thu ut-ilo is tontli
and her nvor.tgo yield is eighth. Wnon
all the core Us are put togolhor Iowa is
easily Iho first ugriuultunl state in the
union , both In amount nnd value , In
stock her record is excellent , her suprem
acy in hog-roaring having boon estab
lished for years.
Yet it is not alone for material re
sources , the beauty of her rolling
prairies , sparkling rivers nnd rugged
lilllb that wo admire and nr.Uso Iowa.
It Is far the sturdy stock of men and
women , born and reared on her bosom ,
who within and without the state have
P"csorvod the traditions of thu Puritans
for Intelligence , emphasis and zeal ,
which may Imd into too great punctili
ousness nt times but ever point the way to
iionor nnd virtue. If ounh of the United
Stales were as strong in moral and in-
telleutuul vigor us Iowa tills w ould bo it
greater nation , Iowa while an average
slate In population and growth is
supreme in tK6""qu Ultlos which make
nations great.
Tlio Douglas county fair will open to
morrow , nnd ' { fj ro is promised the
finest display ( .all . departments ever
made here. Thoifarmors of the counly

A MOVCMKXT is now on foot among
the packers of South Omaha , Sioux
City nnd Kansas City with the object
of securing relief from freight discrimi
nations by which Chlctigo is benefited
nt the expense of lha Missouri river
packing centers. The cause of com
plaint is not now , but heretofore no ac
tive measures have boon taken to cor
rect the evil. It is manifestly unjust
that the Chicago packers should be able
to ship their producls lo Iho Pacific
coast nt as low rates ns are accorded to
South Omaha , while rates to the eastern
seaboard are very much higher from
hero than from Chicago. It is well
known that live stock can bo bought
but litllo cheaper by Iho Missouri river
packers lhan by these of Chlcacro , and
for that reason the discrimination is n
groal hardship. It is believed lhat
united action on the part of these intcr-
csled muy bring relief , and Iho proposed
organization of Missouri river nackors
for lhat purpose would seem to bo the
proper initial stop.

day. Two of tbo republican papers there ,
owned by these harlequin , nuvo already
begun to discuss tbo results of the possibility
of the election 01 our lieutenant governor
and the defeat of tbo governor. Tbo friends
of Mr. Majors wanted blm to go on the ticket
toshow Kosowatur" that in tbat position
bo coulu run sovnral thousand votes abend of
Mr. Crounso. Sucb a sontlmont can mean
but ono thing , and tbat Is just what this
gang is willing to do. They bad a candidate
for chairman of .tbo central committee who
would have taken that position with tbo ac
complishing of tbat end solely In view.
Tlio bettor clement of the republican party
Is struggling to got on top , and they have
now n good foothold. Tboy prepared the
best state ticket on tbo 4th Inst. that was
over presented to iho state , nnd If any portion
tion of It Is defeated It will bo tbrougb tbo
efforts of tboso leeches at Lincoln who hnvo
lived and grown fat all tboso years off the
party In gouoral.
It Is ngulnst these parties that THE BEB Is
milking Us light , and Mr. Hnsowuter Is right.
They mav call him the ' 'Little Bohemian , "
'Joss , " "Dictator. " or anything they wish ,
but tboy cannot hide the real Issue. Tboir
anger nnd wrath only shows how near the
truth is being told.
lied Cloud Chief : This paper has differed
at times widely vith Editor Kosawator lu
many things politically and otherwise , but In
bis tlcbt for a clean republican ticket ho is
pre-eminently in the rlgbt. No man whoso
record Is not above reproach should bo foisted
upon tbo nubile for political honors.
Yoik Timef : It should bo understood that
the ojght electoral votes of Nebraska will not
determine tbo result. The party wreckers In
this state may succeed In delivering our vote
to the enemy , but tbat will not cut much lig-
uro in tbo result.
Comparisons are odious , but the Times is
free to say that there are man wbo are lightIng -
Ing Uosowator most bitterly whom tbo repub
lican party could alsponsu with much o'aslor
thau with Mr. Kosowatcr. Every sensible
man knows , bowovor , that wo need all of
them this fall.
Yesterday the State Journal road Mr ,
Kojowater right straight out of tbo repub
lican party , body and breeches. The posi
tion of the Journal plainly stated and sum
med up is simply tbls : If wo have Rosewater -
water in thu party be will run it , therefore
lot us kick him out. if wo can't bavo viu-
tory without Hosawater lot us bavo defeat.
A republican victory with Uosowntcr as
national commlttoeman means trouble for
Iho Lincoln postmaster.
Memoir County Republican : The vacancy
in tbo o 111 co of -iilununt governor , bv reasou
of the inullglblllty of Mr. Tate , was lilted
Tuesday by the state central committee , the
honor falling upon Tom Major ? , the proicnt
acting governor. Tbat Majors was nominated
contrary to tbo expressed wishes of u largo
number of lopublicans cannot bo denied.
The objections which worobuccossfully urgi'd
against his nomination for lirst place on the
ticket apply with equal force to bis oloviulon
to second place , namely timt a camp&ign lu
bis behalf would bo made ono of defense
and denial of numerous charges brought
forward uy tbo opposition. And such
charges are not conlinod to mere as
sertion that bo is a back number In
Nebraska politics , but seriously question bis
ofllcial record , Tbo ground taken by a largo
portion of tbo republican press of tbo state
that tbo party cannot anord to conduct e
campaign this year lu defense of any of Us
nominees wu think Is well taken. Our ticket
is between two tires and needs to enlist tlio
unqualified support of Its young and newer
element as well as to reclaim tbo ulluglanco
of many wbo bavo loft the party In tbo past
four years because of tbls effort of ringslers
and politicians toovurlastiuglysbouldorupon
them party hacks and pliant tools of corpor
ations. Such nominations are Indeed giving
"eld nnd comfort to thn onumy1 und Mcr-
riok county's ring nnd von her central committeemen -
mitteomen endorse them.
Friend Telegraph : Wo fear that tbo par-
tics who appear lu bo after E. Uosowator In
stead of uftor the uood of the republican
party , bavo reached a little too fur during
the lulu mooting of the statu central commit-
too.
Genoa Loader : Wblln the Loader does
not worship Uoiowator , und has not always
been satisfied with bis couiuo toward the re
publican party , It believes tbo light being
made upon him by u portion of the Nebraska
pioss to be untimely und uncalled for. For ,
while be may bavo appeared to dictate the
nominations , no man can truthfully sav tbat
ho bas not worked for ttio nomination of
clean , capable men this year at least. Ho
was opposed lo Majors and we'll before tbo
central committee nnd staled bis objections ,
as any republican bad a right to do. Majors
was nominated , und bad ho and bis foul sup
porters kept their mouths shut all would
bayo been well , and Majors would have re
ceived thousands of votes tbat wo fear ho
will now loso.
Urand Island Independent : Tbo republi
can state convention had done lu duty
toward * the party und the whole atalo lu
nominating an unobjectionable ticket , which
mot with genera ) Ratisfaation. Hut the
moro pllible state central committee has in
( loforonco to tbo wUhos of tbo railroads un.
done the good worK of tbo convention , us far
as it lay In Us power. And tbo rallruaa
gang , undnr the lead of Iho Lincoln Journal ,
which for long years has worn the railroad
collar and Is led by tbo silver rinjf. which
tbo railroads fastened in iu nose. Immedi
ately shouted and bowled lUelf hearse to
glvo vent lo Its jubilant Joy , and Its hatred
of Uobowator und Tint Hun. Tboy could
net abstain from abusing him lu an
Indecent wny nnd from stirring up
strife nml dissension to the party. TUB UER'S
influence Is worth ton tlmoi moro to thu
republican party thnn the whole railroad
gang with nil Us venal ndhoronU. They do
not cnro for the wfclfnro of the people or the
Donollt of the partv , If they nnly can gratify
tholrsplto against tboso men , who in the
flgbt for the people bavo dealt heavy blows
to the railroad arlstrocrncy nnd its subordi
nate tools ,
Wo hope that Iho sensible iron ot Iho
republican pnrty will sllonco these mis
creants , nnd that Uosowator will be public
spirited onnugh to glvo up the tight with
the hired men of the railroad ! , not piying
nny more attention to their mean calumni
ation and nbuso.
The mUchovlous work of the railroad
papers ought to bo stopped Iti the interest of
the party.
Emerson Enterprise : Tun OMVIIA Bnnof
Wednesday had n column nnd n half ever
the signature of K. Uosowator , pertaining to
tbo controversy over thn selection of Tom
Majors tor lieutenant governor. It was n
piotty clean nlcco of rending matter , and
Mr. Mnjors will bolp his own'causo by tak
ing n few gentle hints from It.
Lexington Gazette : Hov. J. G. Tnto saved
thu stnto central committee the trouble of de
termining his eligibility to the oftlco of lieu
tenant governor. IIo tendered n resignation
Immodlntolv upon the organization of that
body , stating that It wits moro Important
that the republican party should win limn
lhat ho bo lieutenant governor , and that ns
long ns there was tbo slightest question of
bis plleibllty ho could not accept thu
nomination. Now comes Tom Majors ,
against whoso candidacy therw are charges
decidedly moro gravn thnn that of bolng a
foreign born citizen , but ho docs not refuse
to accept ns long ns there Is n breath of sus
picion against blm. Ho Is willing that his
purty shall take the chances. It would seem
to certain republicans , way out in this
sparsely settled section , that the central
committee could have made n bolter chotco.
Before tbls last nomination tbo ticket , even
as admitted bx.tho opposing press , was irre
proachable. It was composed ot mon nt once
clean nnd honest. , With such a ticket the
partv would not bavo boon compelled
to take a dofonslvQ nttiludo in the present
campaign. It would hnvo had no apologies
to make , no ttiigmas to or use. no records to
conceal. It is true Uoaowiltor did not want
Mujor.s nominated , but that Is no reason ho
should huvo boon nominated. There is such
a thing ns "biting oft the nose to spite the
face , " and this the committee hns dono. It
bas attached greater weight to the repudia
tion of Uosowator than to the selection of a
good man to succeed Tnto. It has , furthermore -
moro , In rojoctlne the udvlco of Mr. Uoso
water , forfeited the hearty support of Tun
LII : : . which was decidedly ossonllal In tha
campaign.
ICuarnoy Journal : The individual or
journalist who refers to tbo nationality or
tbo pbvsicnl appearance uf nn opponent in
order lo kill him off , Is placing himself upon
n level with lhat scrlbo of the tenth dcgr'oo
who resorts to the vicious terms of "liar , "
"scoundrel , " "vllllnn , " eta , always when
ho la lacking truth and argument to sustain
bis case. There Is seine of it going on In
the state , n fact of wbicb wo are ashamed to
mention , which is worthy only to a plnco
alongside or the lowest order of billings
gate. Newspapers thus Indulgent should do
one of two things , either make n radical
change In their domonnor or go out to the
enemy the calamity howlers to bo in keep
ing with their methods and aid that party
directly , Instead of Indirectly.
Clay Center Sun : And right hero wo
want to put In n word for Mr. Uosewntor.
Tbo mon who attempt to belittle him in
order lo bo taken at their word must show
wherein they uro Mipjrior either In intellect
or Intluoncc. Mr. Kosowator Is nt the head
of the press of Nebraska , and his qualifica
tions having plnced him there , malicious
attacks of those far Inferior to him both In
intellect and influence will only upon sober
second thought servo lo .show the thought
lessness or lack of judirmnnt of these ma-
Hcncrs , even though Uosa himself should
treat them with the sunromcst contempt.
Wo did not believe Mr. Majors would ac
cept the nomination after having bean so
prominent a caudldato for governor , but wo
do uot boliovu with Mr. Uosowator that bis
name wlil bo a serious menace to ttio ticket ,
but that It will strengthen It. "Tom's all
right , " but bo must use discretion. Ho can
not afford to make n tight on Mr. Uosowator
or Mr. Uosowater's Omaha friends.
Beatrice Express : If the republican papers
at Lincoln , Fremont and cUowhero in the
stale really care for party success ihoy
should .stop jabbing at other republicans and
oihor republican papers. They should also
remember that tbo people of this country are
bv no means all natives of it. and tbat the
man wbo is born iu England or Uohotnta , or
any nthor country , is just ns much entitled
to respect as the man wbo Is born under tlio
stars and stripes , provided ho is loyal lethe
the Hags of this country. The ques
tion in this country Is not ono of
nationality , but of loyallv. Attacks of
this character are harmful to Iho
party and may easily defeat it in Nebraska
and the man who condescends to such tactics
is either himself not n true republican or bo
lacks in good sense. Ho harms tbo Interests
of tbo party far moro than bo can help it and
far mure lhan bo knows. What the repub
lican party In Nebraska needs is harmony.
With tbat success is certain , without it
defeat is certain. Keep your temper while
dealing with vcur political friends , when
you resort to o'.ows aim them at the common
onomy.
