WITH Hill and Tnmm.iny controlling

it is about time for the aiiti-snappors to
break out in a whoro-aro-wo-nt appeal.

Mil. V. O. STKICKLKR has explained
to the Live Issue club how the people's
party is misunderstood in this county.
And after listening to him the club still
misunderstood in tiio same way.
THIS thin attendance of independents
at the "grand rallies" hold by that
party throughout the fltato is proof that
iho populiats are either scarce or else
care little for cninpnicrn oratory.
TUB South Omtiha stock yards' fig
ures continue to bo encouraging. The
increase of 17o,0K ( ) hogs from January 1
to tills dnto ever the llgures of last year
is a remarkable showing , nnd the other

A itATTLK-iiiiAiNKU correspondent ,
has revived the old chestnut that the
republican committee is pouring money
into thib state to dufoat Bryan. In this
cuso it would bo manifestly absurd lo
spend money. It will not bo necessary.
CONOUKSSMAN McALEKU , having
boon nominated by the republicans and
democrats of the Third Pennsylvania
district with no opposition , ought to bo
eatlsliod ; but ho isn't. lie has filed his
intention to run as an indunondent also.
THE proprietor of an Omaha harbor
ehop has put up .1 sign forbidding his
barbora from "talking politics to the
customers. " This is an excellent rule
for all shaving shops and could bo im
proved only by btriking out the word
"politics. "
THE soliciting committee to raise
money for the Nebraska advertising
train will of course liavo no dillloulty in
securing liberal donations from our bus
iness tnon. $700 is certainly a small
amount to ask from this city and the returns -
turns , direct and indirect , will bo many
times that amount.
THERE are numerous defections from
ono party to the ether on account of disappointment -
appointment in receiving olllcoa , but
there has boon nothing in this campaign
on the democratic side to compare for a
moment to the desertion of the free
trndo party by George Tioknor Curtis ,
the omlnont constitutional lawyer and
author.
THE annual mooting of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United Kingdom
was hold at London Tuesday and the
president , Sir Albert K. Hnlllt , In an
nddrosH said that ho was not able to con
gratulate tlto country on its trade con
ditions or prospects , especially in the
coal , Iron and stool trades. This leth
argy was noticeable in old business cen
ters like Sholliold and Bradford. The
speaker itoorlbod this condition to the
American proiootlvo tatitT ,
IK OKDKU to fully appreciate the won
derful growth of the business at the
South Omuhii Btook yards , it is only
necessary to compare figures , whloh not
only toll the truth but also speak vol
umes in vary limited Hpuco. From Janu
ary 1 to dnto the receipts at the Union
Block yaids this yonr exceeded these of
the corresponding period last your ns
follows : Cuttlo , 107,075 ; hogs , 178,231 ;

finch an inuronso ns this Juatillaa the bo-
liuf that South Omtilm is doloruilnod to

/ V1CT.S AliOUT TllK MOltTOAOR
Soona \ ns the prophets of calamity
devote themselves to predictions of ovll
times to como and vnguo gonoralltlos
concornlnp ; the present hardships of the
people they may DO supposed by char-
Ittxblo critics to bc inoroly victims of de
lusion ; but when they como down to
specific Illustrations they will have to
conllno themselves to the truth or else
stand convicted of dishonesty. They
nro Industriously circulating statements
concerning the mortgage indebtedness
of certain counties in this state which
wlllnotbo.tr investigation , nad though
wo prefer to bollovo thorn innocent of
deliberate falsehood it is evident that
they are at least guilty ot rcculoss dis
regard for the reputation of the great
and prosperous state of Nebraska , to
whoso Interests they profess devotion.
It is not practicable to look into the
records of all the counties In the state ,
but three or four will servo to show how
little foundation there is for the claim
of the populists that the farmers of Ne
braska tire steadily sinking into the
. ( Ulehsumls of debt. A sullloloiit refuta
tion of the statement that the mortgage
Indobtcdnoss In ITlllinoro county has
boon increased $1(50,000 ( during the past
year ia presented by Tun Bii's : cor
respondent at Geneva , The official
records show that the amount of mort-
gngos lilod In that county was $81,050.04
more than the amount released ; but
these ll/ures ( need to bo qualified , nnd
when the whole truth Is stated It Is soon
that the financial condition of the people -
plo is growing bettor instead of worse.
Mortgages tiggrogating $129,097.58 were
given to secure a part of the purchase
price of property ; a Chicago firm gave
a mortgage of SI 1,000 on its elevators In
that county ; chattel mortgages to the
amount of $ 'l)50.6S ) were given to secure
loans which were also secured by real
estate mortgages , thus doubling the ap-
pitront amount ; about 80,200 of mort
gages were given for imported horso3.
It thus appears that the amount of
mortgages given for borrowed money
was $10L',59S.1'J loss than the amount ro-
loused. Is not this n showing th it
should make the people of Pillmoro
county proud rather than despondent ?
In Antelope county the mortgages
filed in July oxcoc'dcd the releases , but
this is also satisfactorily explained. The
excess of real estate mortgages filed
over these rolo.isod was duo in this case ,
as in others , to the purchase of farms ,
and therefore cannot bo considered as
having any significance The chattel
mortgages iilod also exceeded these re
leased , but this is satisfactorily ex
plained. A number of largo mortgages
were given for cattle bought , arid $1,003
of releases that should have appeared
iu the July record wont over by an over
sight until August. Out of the total of
$10,771 for the month $0,000 was for debts
of tradesmen and feeders , and therefore
cannot bo counted against the prosperity
of the farming class. It is to bo remem
bered , too , that July is the heaviest
chattel mortsrngo month , becau-jo it is
the month in which mortgages against
farm crops for rentals are uauvlly re
corded.
Richardson is another county whoso
July chattel mortgage record hns buon
pointed out as a proof of increasing pov
erty. An official of that county has ,
however , stated the case in a way that
shows that the farmers nro not growing
poorer. Ono mercantile failure caused
the filing of $0,400 in chattel jiiortgngos
during the month in question. The largo
nunfborof crop mortgages filed in July ,
according to the usual custom , and a
prevailing indilloronco in respect to re
leasing these that have boon satisfied ,
account for the balance of the apparent
increase of mortgages filed over these
released in that county.
Without taking up a great number
of specific cases , it may bo broadly
stated that official reports from a
largo number of counties in Nebraska
show thut where mortgages filed are in
excess of these released tlio cause is not
the increasing poverty of the people.
The zonl of the calamity prophets in
their deliberately chosen policy of des-
parnging this state and creating an ut
terly groundless fooling of uneasiness
and uncertainty as to its future does
tlu'tn no credit , A political movement
whoso success depends upon such tactics
deserves to fail.
COSS'l ITUTIOXAh .1MRNDMKNTS.
The voters of Nebraska should not
lose sight of the two proposed amend
ments to the constitution to jjo voted on
at the November election , both of which
are important and ought to bo adop'tcd.
Ono of these relates to the investment
of the permanent educational fund of the
state. This fund is derived from land
sot apart by the org.inlo law for the
maintenance of the schools , the interest
only being used for this purpose. The
constitution provides ttiat the fund
shall not bo in vested or loaned "excopt
on TInitod States or state securities , or
registered county bonds , " and the
amendment submitted proposes to ml a ,
"or roglstorod snhool district bonds of
this stato. " There Is no valid objoc-
tlon to thus enlarging the field for the
investment of the educational fund , and
there are cogent reasons In favor of
doing HO. The suhool district bonds are
perfectly snfo , and It is manifestly much
bettor that tbo interest paid on thom
should remain In the state , to bo applied
to the maintenance of the sohoold gen or
ally , than that it should go else where or
into the hands of private capitalists. Ills
desirable that the state educational fund
sliall bo made as productive as possible.
None of It should bo kept Idle In the
treasury If it can bo safely nno profit
ably Invested In the way directed by tbo
constitution. If the proposed amend
ment prevail there will bo enlarged demand -
mand for it that will doubtless prevent
any accumulation and It will servo a pur-
posoontlroly consistent with the Intent of
the organic law. No serious opposition
to the proposed amendment Is expected ,
the only danger being in the possibility
of its Doing overlooked and In consequence -
quenco receiving loss than a majority of
all the votes east at the election , us re
quired for the adoption of a constitu
tional amendment.
The ether proposed amendment pro
vides for the election of three railroad
commissioners by the electors of the
Btnto at largo. The expediency of such
it change Is generally conceded by these
who have glvou the uaattor intelligent
consideration. TUB Dnu has always
contended that the regulation of trans-
portion rixtos should proceed directly
from the legislature , but In lieu of that
the best alternative la a commission
chosen directly by the people nnd
clothed by law with all noow ry au
thority , AS in town and other states , to
establish maximum rates , Such it com
mission could give nil Its tlmo and at
tention to the duties required ot It , and
It would bo under ttio Influence of n con
stant senfeo of responsibility to the people
ple , which evidently h-w not bson the
cuso with Nebraska boards of transpor
tation ns now constituted , There is
every reason lo bnllovo , in view of the
experience of ether stntos , that an elec
tive railroad commission would do far
inoro for the correction of abuses of
which the paoplo now justly complain
than can ever bo expected under present
ont conditions.
I'llOTKCTlOX ItKNKriTS Iff OXK STATK ,
The report of the labor commissioner
of M-issiichusott : ) , the trustworthy character -
actor of which no ono has ventured to
question , shows oven better re
sults from the operation of protection
under the present tariff than the report
of the Now York labor commissioner ,
which iho democrats are so eagerly endeavoring -
doavoring to dJHcrodlt.
The Massachusetts report shows that
since the present tariff" law wont Into ef
fect wages In that state have advanced
materially and that the protected in
dustries have been able to pay on an av
erage nearly $ i IS to every workman In
18)1 ! ) who received but $1158 in 1800. It is
shown , also , that the industries ot Mas
sachusetts turned out more than $8 , 00 ,
000 worth of goods in ISOl in excess of
the production of the previous year and
that this enlarged output yitvo employ
ment to 21,000 more people than were
engaged in those Industries the year before -
fore tlio Mi'Kinloy law went into opera
tion. Tills involved an increased dis
bursement of money for labor amounting
to $ j)30,000 : ) , which moans a very ma-
loritil addition lo the prosperity and
comforts of the people of that state.
The cotton goods industry realized the
most important increase- having paid
ovorSlOjO,000 more in wages in 1891
than in 1593 ; next cnmo tlio woolen
gooUs industry with a wage advance of
8111,000 ; then the machinery industry
with an increase in wages of $1)00,000. ) 11
is observed that the increase in wages
would have boon still larger had it not
boon for a docrcaso in the boot and shoo
and leather trades , industries which
have the advantage , according to the
democratic theory , of free raw materi
als. Nevertheless the total amount of
wages and the average yearly wages of
the workingmen of Massachusetts have
experienced a very satisfactory increase
under the present tariff.
Another fact of interest is that the in
crease in fiapital devoted to production
in 1891 was nearly $10,000,000 , an increase
of 2.34 per cent , while the increase in
the value of goods was but 1 33 per cent ,
although the increase in the value of
block used amounted' to 2.77 per cent.
Thus the manufacturing industries of
Massachusetts , with more persons cm-
ployed , higher wages and' a larger pro
duction , have producad' goods in many
cases lower than before and yet at a fair
profit. "This is a showing , " remarks
the Boston Advertiser , "that llatly and
very plainly contradicts by actual re
sults the rather dismal prophecies made
in 1890 ; but it is a showing which is
quite in line with the fuels and figures
published elsewhere during the present
year. " It supplements and suslains the
report of industrial progress in Now
York and it is in accord with the
porionco of manufacturers everywhere.
Yet in the face of such indisputable
facts , unmistakably duo to the tariff
policy of the republican party , demo
cratic loaders audaciously assert that
the McKinley law has had nothing to do
with increasing industrial development
and improving the wages of labor. "Wo
insist that the country has boon prosperous -
porous , " said Senator Hill In his Brook
lyn speech , ' 'not because of the MoKin
ley law , but in spite of it. " Such loader
of the democracy must have a very pee
opinion of the intelligence of the peopli
if they biipposo that after the utto
.failure Of their prophecies of two yourd
ngo , that the McKinley bill would bring
alsastor lo the country , they can now in-
cJuco any largo number of the poonlo to
baliove thut that act is on till oil lo no
credit for the industrial progross'and
general prosperity of the country.
IT WOULD bo n strange thing indeed
if a Nobrnska exhibit train should huvo
to start out with the county of Douglas
unrepresented , and yet that vorv result
is feared by the Nebraska State Busi
ness Men's association , ns is shown by
the appeal of Secretary Hodgln for sub
scriptions from the citizens of Omaha.
The funds required for the Douglas
countyexhibit have not boon provided ,
the committee having been unable to
obtain the money expected from the
county commissioners. The directors of
the association siy that , thqir finances
are in such condition that $700 moro
will bo needed from this county In addi
tion to n small amount left ever from
last year. As the train is to start on
the 20th iiislant it will bo soon that the
tlmo for securing a proper representa
tion from this important county is very
short. It Is unfortunate that depen
dence was placed upon a source of manly
bupply that was necessarily uncertain.
But If the work is pushed perhaps some
thing may yet bo dona.
THE date of the departure of the Ne
braska oxhi bit train No. 2 is September
20 , next Monday. As yet no provision [
has boon made for having Douglas
county represented in the exhibit. It Is
manifestly most desirable that the
county In which Is located the metrop
olis of the state shall contribute to the
display of Nebraska's products , and n
failure to do this will bo a reflection upon
the enterprise and public spirit of our
people. The county commissioners hav
ing disappointed the committee of the
State Business Men's association in not
contributing the money expected from
thom , nn appeal is made for a popular
subscription , the amount it Is desired to
secure being between $500 aud $000. It
Is to bo hoped the appeal will receive a
ready response from the business com
munity , so that Douglas county may
have an ndoqun representation and not
suffer In the estimation of the rest of the
state by ronson'tff''an ' ' apparent Inck of
Hborallty ivnd pujjyo spirit. Whatever
good may bo accomplished by the send
ing out of this ( ifjAjblt , in attracting at
tention to the produqto , resources and
capabilities of NfeHrnskn , Douglas county
will share In , arfd } Is the obvious duly
of her people to bear a just proportion
of the expense , wfyllo there Is also the
obligation to aid jhi advancing the Inter
ests of the state n't'lnrgo.
Tin : ropubllcaniiof this district ought
to bo represented In congress by n re
publican , but what chance Is there to
elect n mnti to congress who only four or
five years ngo wns badly knocked out in
this county for probate judge ? The fact
that ho was alooh enough to pack cau
cuses by Iho aid of Johnny Thompson
does not alTo.-d a guaranty that ho can
carry the district against 'Judge Doano.

Senator D.ivla Replica to tlio Attuek on Him
by Urriunn Catholics.
MIXXCAPOMS , Minn. , Sept. 2J. The Tribune -
uno publishes interviews with Senator Davis
nnd Archbishop Ireland relative to the notion
taken by the German Catholic convention at
Dubuque , la. Senator Davis said among
ether things :
"I might properly treat this decree as the
harmless effort ot a secret council of refruu-
tory schismatics , purposing to mtorfaro with
the politics of Minnesota. I cerlnlnly shall
not retract words spoken under a most im
pressive sense of my clutr IH nn American
citizen nnd a senator. Hiitlier would I bo
honored by going back into prlvuto Ufa than
to comely with n demand which is full of
the I n sole n co of ether institutions than our
own and of ether aces from which mankind
was long niro happily delivered. "
Archbishop Irol'and said substantially : "I
wns more than surprised to read the dis
patches , and urn still Inclined to believe that
no such resolutions were or will bo adopted ,
Sona'.or Davis and othois who linvo opposed
Canonsly never fern moment thought of the
Gorman Catholic ? of America , tor they are
supposed to bo loyal Americans opposed to
Canenslyism. Cubonsly made a great mis
take when bo proposed to interfere with the
affairs of the American church , and espec
ially In view of the fact that hols anoutsuor
nnd a foreigner. "
The archbishop endorsed the sentiments
of Senator Davis' apoooh and said Iho
Cahonsly memorial stood condemned by both
church and stale as It Ue'sorvod to be , aud
tuoso who would raise a defense of it would
show themselves disloyal Americans and
disobedient Catholics.

Recount ot the sudJon death In Now York
yesterday morning of Charles Reed , for sev
eral yonrs ono of the ndvnnco agents of
the Adum Foropaugh shows mid the suspi
cion ot foul Dlh ? ntlnched to his wife , Mr.
Whiting Allen , ono of the ftgonts of the
Foropaugh shows , said jrcslordny.1
'I nm satuflrd Hint such a suspicion Is
wholly groundless ; In foot Is n lerrlblo
wrong lo n woman whoso conduct toward n
blind nod helpless husband hns been simply
noble. The Now York pollco bno their sus
picion upon the fact that Mrs. Hood tele-
grnphod James .lourdan of the Foropnugh
shows for 1.7) nnd promised to return it upon
Mondav , nnd nlso upon the fact that Reed
had tlr > 00 In the bank deposited to her credit.
I spent three hours wllh Reed two WCOKS
ago. Ho wns attending to candy tlnnd In
a (11 mo miiHoum , the profits of which wcro
glvon him by the proprietor. Ue has boon
growing blind for three years , nnd whllo 1
talked to him ho was unable to see nn nrc
light three feet distant. When his sight be
gan lo fail rheumatism sot In , and ho told
mo ho could not omtnro his sufferings much
longer. There was not a living for him In
his stand ; nil the money bo hnd in iho world
wns $2 : > 0 which his lellow agents presented
him with n year nso , nnd were It not for his
wife , whom ho declared was the best \\omun
In iho world , ho would starve.
"Mrs. Hood Is n rider In the Forejmugh
shows , nnd her devotion to Rcod Is known to
nl < connected wllh It. She oblatncd n fur
lough lo visit him , unit her poverty compels
her to return to woilc Monday , .lourdnn Is nn
opcn-honrtfd friend to everybody , and bcr
appeal to him Is natural. That she has ever
bean unfaithful to Rcod I cannot bolloro. I
know she is cruelly wronged In her present
position. "

plaints reach hero from Las Polomas , Mox. ,

at that place nro seizing largo numbers of
American cattle which strav across the line
from day to day. Some weeks ngo the Mexl-
c'in government issued nu order to the effect
that on and after n certain data all foreign
cattle found on Mexican soil would bo con
fiscated. The cattlemen on till * side of the
line made strenuous efforts tn secure tholr
sleek and were In a large degree successful.
Al the same time the loss sustained was con
siderable , as the grazing in the vicinity of
Las Polom&s is the best within nn area of a
hundred miles nnd the catllo had gone there
in largo numbers. U Is simply impossible
to round them nil up. Naturally the ciittlo
are returning to their old grazing grounds ,
but as rapidly as they cross the border they
are .seized by the onlelals. The los to the
cattlemen in this section by the aclion of the
Mexican authorities will amount up in the
thousands and Is daily Increasing.
