A V .tlTHAIi TO STATK HtWB.
It was good nnd timely ndvico that
ox Oovornor Fornkor of Ohio tjnvo the
the pooploot this BtUo in Ills speech nt
Lincoln. Having said that Nobrnskn Is
'
ono'of the most magnificent states in
the union ho counseled his thousands of
hearers not to lot It bo Hbolod nny
longer by people who pronch crnnky
notions. The distinguished Ohioan had
never before boon in this stale , but ho
had soon the reports of lit defamers
representing that Its people were Im
poverished , that there was no real pros
perity hero , nnd that the outlook was
ono of hopolossncs3 unless there was a
radical change of conditions on the lines
marked out by those npostlos of calam
ity. Lfo found the reverse of nil this to
bo the facU Well cultivated /arms / nnd
the evidences of abundant crops greeted
him on ovnry side. Thrift and prosper
ity were everywhere present , mid ho
found in what ho saw timplo warrant for
congratulating the people and assuring
them that they have reason to look with
confidence to the futuro. If ho came to
Nebraska with misgivings regarding the
condition of her people , duo to the dis
paraging misrepresentations of self-
soouing politicians , ho will take back to
Ohio ho knowledge that this state is In
trutn "abreast with her sister stales"
and is keeping well to the front In the
march of material progress.
Tlio admonition to the people of No-
bravka not to permit the state to bo
Hhelod any longer makes an appeal to
their prl'lo and patriotism which ought
to recolvo such an earnest and general
response as would drive the libclors
into everlasting obscurity. No consid
eration .ihould bo Hhown the men who ,
in order to servo their political ambi
tion , proclaim to the country that NebrasKa -
brasKa is iv land of poverty , suffering
and dibcontont , In the face of facts
which overwhelmingly refute such as
sertions. The growth of this state in
population and wealth constitutes one of
the brightest chapters in the wonderful
history of western progress. No other
state realized so high u percentage In
increase of population during the decade -
cade between ISSO and 181)11 ) , and in few
of them was the growth in wealth
greater. The development of Nebraska
has been mpld and bubstantial , and
thp-e is every reason to believe that the
experience of the past years will bo re
peated ir the years to coinu If the people
ple of the state do not themselves repel
population and capital by placing power
in the hm.uS of the men who are doing
all they can to con vince the people of
the rest of. the country that they will
sub-crvo their bcit interests by staying
awav from Nebraska.
To stand up for Nebraska is n para
mount duty which every loyal citizen
owci to liiin-ft'lf and to his follow citi-
xens , and the most ollectivo way to do
tills is by repudiating every man who
attempts to depreciate and disparage
the state. This ought to bo regarded as
the most horioiiH form of disloyalty ,
next to open treason , and sulliclont to
consign those guilty of it to political
oblivion. How much injury it has al
ready done Nebraska cannot bo com
puled , but it has undoubtedly been great ,
and nothing can bo more certain than
that the sneeesi of the calamity party
would result In inlinito dam-ige to the
state in the future. It would bo ac
cepted by the country as a popular np
proval and vindication of the misropro'
beiitntions of tlio leadoro of that party
and as an assurance of such n radical
change of policy as would repel from the
state conservative people of nil classes.
Ex-Governor Forakor has suggested an
admir.tblo watchword for every man
who is loyal to the interests and welfare
of Nebraska.
TAIKIX < I I'UlATlC.lh UMUN.
A noteworthy mooting was hold a few
days ago nt the town of Innorkip , Out.
to consider the question of political
union with the United States. The oc
casion was given moro than ordinary
importance from the fact thai ono of the
speakers was EJrof. Goidwin Smith ,
distinguished citi/.ui of the Dominion of
largo influence , who- has long been an
earliest udvuo.ito of political union as
the only means of relieving Canada of
tlio depression and distress which now
prevail there.
The address of Prof. Smith was a
gloomy recital of the situation , but not
moro so than the facts undoubtedly jus
tify. Ho otutod that the decline in the
viiluo of farm property in Ontario has
boon very great , not loss than 110 per
cent over lurgo districts , and this of
course meant a falling oil In the value
of farm products. Kvory olty or town
in the province , outaido of Toronto , is
stationary or going backward , anil oven
in Toronto there are evidences of a lack
of prosperity. Worst and most omin
ous of all. said Prof. Smith , there Is n.
constant stream of omigrntloi from Can
ada to the United St it''s. Tlio principal
business of the American consulate ut
Toronto Is the forw iraing of onugrun ts ,
nml those comprise the very llowor of
the population the young man of en
ergy and ambition who find intolerable
the slow course of tilings in their native
land and want to cast ttioirlot In ucouiu
try and amang a people where enterprise -
priso and industry b.-lng . their ample
reward
The question of their destiny Prof.
Smith saiil Is pressed upon the pjunlu of
Canada by oircumstanuod geographical ,
commercial , financial , politic.il mid dip-
loni'itlc. They will p-osonlly have to
ohoosu hotwoou ptvpotu il dependence ,
imperial federation , independent na
tionality and continental union. Of
tin-so altonmlivea Prof Smith bolievud
that a "frou , oqu.il and hnnora-hio union ,
or , as it ought rather to bu called , a re
union , with the -Ojt of our nun on this
continent , is the solution of the great
problem which romiiins. " Tout tlioro
Is n g.-owing sjr lmunl in favor of such
a union suouu to ba appvrent , though ,
the growth in ty not be very rapid.
Although there are statesmen In both
oaunlrlos who hallov that evontu illy
the United States and C.inudu will bo
milled , there uro obviously very great
dltliuuUies In the way of such u consum
mation , which if not Insurmountable
will bu so hard to overcome that it must
bu many years , possibly eovoral gonoriv
lions , bi.jro it can bo accomplished , li
the Ural place tlio people of the United
States very generally do not fool nnj
eorlous Interest in the question. Thej
do not regard Canada , with its largo
debt nnd Its hotorocrenoous population ,
as ndoslrnolo acquisition.
It might bo found n very dlflloult mat
ter to bring n largo portion of. Its people
Into sympathy with our Institutions nnd
to induce thorn to nsstmllntn with our
selves to the oxtout necessary to n hnr-
monious and peaceful common wealth ,
Undoubtedly this would bo the case with
the present mixed population. Possibly
nn even moro serious objection
Is to the further extension of
our territory. The great majority
of the American people bollovo
that the nation is now largo enough for
security and that it would bo dangerous
to overstep its nnlural boundaries. As
lo the Canadian people the dominant
sentiment among thorn is still that of
devoted loyalty to the Imperial govern *
mont , and this will not bo easily over
come. Tlio very manifestation in this
country of n lack of sympathy with po
litical union will tend to keep It nllvo.
It Is not to be doubted that the Cana
dian people are having a hard experi
ence and the outlook Isnotoncouraging ,
but they have at least n pa.'tlul remedy
in closer commercial rotations with the
United States. This they can have
whenever those In power are prepared
to muko fair and -jqultablo conditions ,
nnd it must precede nny efforts for po
litical union.

FKOM ins SOUTH.
On the day before the recent slalo
election in Georgia the . /IMoifa Consti-
tntion in its final appeal to the deino-
crallc volors , said this :
Mo | ) ostlonco | , no famine , no great calam
ity has visited our Innd. The dopresdon of
the past two years is ever and on every bnnd
wo see rlalntr Industries and now enter
prises. Economy , hard work anO diversified
crops have Kreatlv battered the oond ition of
our farmers. They are practically out of
debt nnd tlio recent rise In cotton givo.t tbo
south millions of surplus casb.
This is one of Iho most horoticnl dom
ocralic ultornnccs of Iho campaign and
Iho only theory upon which it can bo
accounted for is that a plain statement
of obvious truths is not considered dan
gerous in u state whore democratic ma
jorities of almost any si'/.o can bo fur
nished upon demand. Of all the souih
orn slalcs Georgia has mosl felt the im
petus ot the commercial revival recently"
brought about in the old south by Iho
establishment of now industries and the
Introduction of northern methods. The
"ribing industries and new enterprises'
lo which the Constitution refers with
Hucli uiter disregard of the democratic
national platform , do indeed thrive in
thai slalo und Iho people uro no doubt
as prosperous and contonled under Iho
prosonl order of things as it represents
them to bo. "Economy , hard work nnd
diversified crops" have certainly im
proved the condition of the Georgia
farmers , and since they have learned to
avoid Iho error of relying onllroly upon
collon they nro doing woll.
The new nnd vigorous life current
that Is throbbing in the commercial nr-
lories of Geoigia is the same thai is
manifested all over the land in condi-
tlons similar lo Ihoso so oloqiionlly de
scribed by ono of the greatest demo
cratic newspaper ? of Ilia soulh. This
remarkable prosperity has boon built
up under an administrative system ox-
pi essly formulated to foslor the Industries -
tries and promote Iho highest material
intorosls of the whole people. The
most comprehensive and perfect ox-
proision of this policy is found in iho
McICinloy law , of which the domocrnlio
national platform says : "Since Iho
McKlnley tariff wont Inlo operation
there havo'beon ton reductions of the
wages of laboring men lo ono increase.
Wo deny Hint Ihoro has been any in
crease of prosperity to the country since
that tariff went Inlo operation , und wo
point to the dullness ana distress , the
wage reductions nnd strikes in the iron ,
trade as the best possible evidence that
no such prosperity has resulted from
the MoKlnloy not. " The same plunk of
the platform upon which the Atlanta
Coitftitntion slundH condemns the pro
tective policy of the past thirty yours us
the cause of a real estate mortgage
debt of $2,5)0IOO)00 ( ) ( ( ) and declares that
It "fosters no industry so much as it
does that of the sheriff. "
Homo leading democrats have en
deavored lo make it appear that this
denunciation of the present policy does
not mean what it pays , but that is only
because the revolt against free trndo
has threatened lo be overwhelming ,
The New York .Sim says : "There is no
question that the larltl plank ndoplod
at Chicago was mount to bo the squares !
possible declaration ncninsl protection
and in favor of free trade. " The ques
tion U not ns to Us moaning , which IB
plain enough , bul as lo the truth of the
premises upon which it is founded.
Wo have the testimony of our southern I.j
democratic contemporary , quoted above ,
that the actual conditions uro the
revoisu of these sot forth in the plat-
f < n in. Similar testimony comes from
ull sections of the country , but wo have
not before scon it presented , ns in this
case , us a reason for voting the dome
cralio ticket.
The truth li that nil the ovidonci
bearing upon this subject IB ot the same
kind , leaving the democratic pobitioi

0. M. Shelly , chairman of the demo
cratic state commlUco ot Alabama , hna
issued a honrtrorldln'g appeal lo the dem
ocratic preachers. , Just listen to his
tale of woo :
The political stnfo which Is now going on
throughout our state is creating much dis
turbance In Iho social nnd rollplous relations
of our Communities. Many of our ttooil poo-
pie have broken away from Uio pi-eat body
of conservative citizens nod have Rene off
after tcnchora of ntratiRO doctrines ami dan-
porous policies , In this strlfo peed Kovorn-
mont , our civilization nnd Christianity nre
nil Involved , Tuo pcaco nnd quiet ot Iho
country Is being destroyed. Neighbor Is ar
rayed ugatnst neighbor , nnd the bitterness
being onpomlored by these conflicts botwcon
opposing factions Is Increasing every day.
Much of this trouble Is duo to natural
causes , but moro largely to false touchers
nnd to unwlso management of our ptulv
loader. In contemplating tuts tearful
nnd dangerous condition nf affairs , I
fool that is iho duty of ovcry good citi
zen , witbout reference to his pro
fession or calling , to exert whatever moral
nnd Christian Influence ho possesses to
tbo bringingof tbo people together again ,
and kooplug thorn united and harmonious In
tholr efforts , so that good government maybe
bo promoted and the peace and prosperity ot
our beloved slalo secured for ourselves nnd
children alter us. This can not bo dona by
pubho spunking , because the people wbo are
nrrn.vcn against the democratic party will
not coma out to hear our spcaliors. They
nre so prejudiced against the party that they
will not bollovo what our speakers may say
or what our loaders may write. I can think
of nothing so effective nnd certain an the
godly counsel and ndvico of ministers ot ttio
gospel. 1 know Hint It Is adollcato mntlorto
call upon you to do work which Is generally
rogutdod as Inconsistent with your holy cnll-
ing. I however , do not so regard it. I bo
llovo that the influence of tlio godly mon of
this country oould not bo bettor employed
than In uniting the political power of citizens
In behalf of good government , because good
government festers tbo church nnd advances
tbo causa of Christianity. 1 therefore appeal
to you , in tbo most earnest nnd solemn man
ner , bogging you to usu every effort con
sistent with your nigh and sncrod calling to
bring our people together In tbo support of
tbe most eminent living expounder of the
true principles nnd correct policies of our
govern niout.
What olTcct this has produced upon
the pulpit poundora of Alabama has not
yet transpired. If they do not rise in
their might to smite the ungodly a few
baskets of unripe ben fruit properly dis-
Iribuled on Ihe Georgia plan will doubt
less have Iho dosited offocl In dispersing
Iho populists and , converting them from
the error of thoir-wny.
Otm enterprising' contemporary Iho
World-Herald lolls the taxpayers thr.t
the county commissioners awarded Iho
conlraut for printing the tax list to THE
BEE ns a mailer of favoritism. This is
'
a fair sample of 'fcaLt-factory voracity.
The truth is that the World-Herald's
contract for count - advertising expired
in January. Bids were invited twice
for this year's advertising but the
World-JIemId declined lo compolo , and
insisled Hint the board being demo-
crnlic had no rightto award the con
tract to a republican paper. Aflor
holding back five months Iho commis
sioners were finally compelled lo lol Iho
contract to.Tnc DKB because Us bid
saved Iho taxpayers moro than $500. If
Ihoro was any favoritism it was in let
ting the W.-J/ continue ns olliciul
paper five months after ils contract had
expired and in the face of the fact that
the rate paid was 20 per cent higher
than Iho proposal of an advorlising me
dium that circulates moro extensively.

Ono of tbo vexed questions with which the
next Hungarian parliament will probably
Ilnd Itself called upon to deal is tbat of the
religion of the children of mixed marriages
The matter has boon brought once moro to
the front by the recent speech of a Calvlnis-
tlo bishop , who furiously attncKod M. Tuza
for "encouraging Iho lower militant clergy
to steal protcstant souls" by baptizing as
Uomau Catbotlos the children of parents of
differing faith. Of course this clmrgo has
caused much excitement among the Hainan
Catholics , and tunlr prhnato , Archbishop
Vaszary of Gran , has had an interview with
the minister of public worship with the pur
pose , It is believed , of procuring the. aboli
tion of thn present-law which provides that
In tbo case of mixed marriages sons shall be
brought up in tlio fnith of their fathers nnd
daughters In the faith of their mothers. The
protestants claim that , tbo result of this law
has been the practical appropriation ot nil
children by the Kornan Catholics , but It
does not appear what , plan they would sug
gest In tbo place of it. There are about
3,000,000 protestants in Hungary , and the
mixed marriages nro so common that the
problem U an exceedingly doltcato ono for
the government to mcddlo with. It is con
erally believed that tbe final outcome of the
dispute will be the Introduction of civil rog
jstration and of civil marriages , as in Aus
trla and in England.

TbeAnglo-RussIan situation on the Indian

bo a light over tbo succession. Ono of them ,

of course , think that ho will tnako an ideal

may appeal to Russia forhclp.and than there
would bo moro fat In the lira. Auothor pos
sibility Is the interference of the Amir ot
Afghanistan , but that is less prnbablo , es
pecially If the latter keeps bis trust with
Lord Hoborts , Some indications of serious

affordedby tbo fact that tbo British Indian

Whj
Are they Wanted ?
Because they never spoil nice

Because the cakes , puddings ,
creams , etc. , arc made to
please the most refined taste.
Because they are extracted by
a new melhod , from the true
fruit , so lhat each has its own
natural and distinctive char
acter. That is why Dr.
