to remedy this slate of affairs is b ,

Another demand of the republicans o
Nebraska is for the oiiuulmont of law
regulating the rate charged by oxpres
companies within the state , to the em
that sui'h rates may bo made reasona
bio. The express charges in Nobrask
are unreasonably high. Tlicro is n
OXCMIFO or justillcation fotthsi rate
which express companies aslc in tbi
state , and they ought lo be reduced. I
the companies will not do tins , and then
is not the remotest possibility that the ,
will , the people must for their own pro
t ° ction take hold of the matter nil' '
compel a reduction.
Another demand of Nebraska roptib
licans ia for a revision of the rovemi

As now administered the revenue law
do not operate equitably , Some kind
of properly subject to taxation do no
pay a just proportion of the public rev

kinds of property. The necessary bui
don of taxation for the support of th
government should fall equally on nl
and in order that this shall bo so th
revenue laws of the state must bo re
vised.
The republicans of Nebraska are un
quaUfiodly pledged to put these reform
into effect if the people give Ihoin th
power to do so. The proposed logislr
lion conlcmnlatos practical advantage
to the people of Nebraska of all classe
of the very highest importance. Thor
are no makeshifts , no Impractical expedients
pedionts , no delusive schemes of relic
in the Nebraska republican plntforrr
Everything it proposes can bo accoir
plished and would result in great bonef
to the paople. The success of the republican
publican party will insure tlio enact
niont of the legislation which the people
plo now need njtd which is essential t
tlio material progress and prosperity <
the state. The success of no other part
will do so. If the producers and wag
earners of Nebraska deslro such law
for the protection and promotion c
their interests as the republican part
is pledged to give thorn their obvlou
duty is to support that party.

The advocates of tlio free and unlin
Hod coinage of silver , who profess lo b (
Hove that the decline in the value <
Unit metal wasduoto its alleged domoi
oti'/.ation in 1873 , ignore altogether th
influence of tlio increased productioi
the extent of which is not known to pci
plo generally.
A writer in an eastern paper , wh
stales that ho is practically intoro&lodS
the subject , presents some oxucodingl
interesting slnlistics showing the court
of silver production. During the flrt
half of this century , previous to the dii
covories of gold in California nnd Aui
tralia , the production of silver average
about 20,000,001) ) onaeos a year. In til
years from 1S31 to 1805 It rose lo an ai
nuul average of 80,000,0'JO ounces. Din
Ing this period Asia absorbed larg
quantities of silver , making oxtonsiv
inroads upon previous accumulations an
opening a natural Hold for tlio increase
production of gold. During the subsi
quont leu years the production of silvc
rose rapidly , duo mainly to the d'scovo ' :
ies in Nevada. It reached -W.OOO.OC
ouiu'os a year , on an average , durln
18UIM870 , and U ! ,000,00 , ( inlSTl-USTo , an
it linn been growing over ninoe. Th
annual average production during 187 (
1889 was 7l,0'JOOtU ! ounces according t
Sootboor nnd 70,000,01)0 ) according to th
United .States mint estimate. The-
authorities state tha. annuil avoi

los ? lo account for a decline in the prlci
of flilvor , nor can ho have nny dllllcult ;
In reaching the conclusion that it wonli
bo impossible for the United State
nlono to raise silver to parity with goli
by adopting the free and unlltnllei
coinage of that motnl.
Tlio hlstoryot the course of silver con
cluslvoly demonstrates that llko ever ;
other commercial commodity it is sub
jcot to the Immutable * law of supply am
demand , and no action of this govern
tr.ont could change this or matorlnll :
nlToct it for any great length of time
The situation may bj anything bnl
promising for thoailvor-mlnlng interest
since it seems to assure still lowe
figures for silver , but If it were In an
sense tlio duly of the government t
eomu to the relief of that Interest If 1
had nny bolter claim to the help of th
government than the farming Intoros
In case of production beyond the want
of the world , it would manifestly bo
great , injustice to- the vast majority t
the paoplo to do HO. Silver must > tik :
its titiiMii : with ether coininrlltlua. It
market vnluo will contlnuo to he dolor
mlncu by supply and demand , ant
nothing which this government migh
do , miling indopondonlly ot the otho
tjroat llnani'ial and o'lihrnorcial nation
of the world , will relieve it of the opor
allen of this law.
At the recent mooting of the Nalloua
lloal lOitrxlo association at Bultalo
.ludgo Dexter of Elmira , N. Y. , deliv
oroil tin address on building and loai
associations that has attracted considerable
orablo attention. Ilo pointed out tin
origin of these associations and roviowoi
their gro.vlh , ] ) lacing great stress upoi
their intluonco in communities as pro
motor. ? of homo building and good clti
zan ship. lie referred to Phlludolphii
as the birth place of this system ivm
staled that that city , pro-ominontly the
city of homos , lias boon lcs-5 subject t
labor troubles than any other city in th
land. The inference is that communitic
whose inhabitants own their homos nr
for that ronoon bolter oil in ovorythln <
that goes to make uu good oitlzonshi ]
than those in which the masses are pay
Ing rent. Communities made up c
tenant- ' , lie saiil , are subject to condi
lions not conducive to patriotism , edi
cation or thrift.
It is interesting to note in this con
noclion that the American people ar
showing an appreciation of tbo advat
tngos alTorded by loan association :
There are now 0,503 of those association
in the United States with a total c
1GOO,000 shareholders and having asset
to the amount of $550,000,000. It i
needless to say that a system by whic
the wage-earning class is encouraged t
save money and secure homos must b
bonolk'ial to every community in whic
it is established. Proof of Ibis is to b
found in Omaha and in other citie
where loan associations are now floui
isliing. When the poor man becomes
homo-owner he has a stake in Iho ger
oral prosperity of the community , nn
every dollar invested by him in hi
home makes him a more desirable eit :

A dtapntoh In yesterday's paper state
that the doniocriUlo stnto comuntteo of Idah
had withdrawn the democratic electoru

This Is In accordance with the plan IXKI-OOI
on by the noinocrals for nil the .states be
twcon the Missouri nnd the HncUy Moun
tains , and also for Minnesota and the ulectc
ral districts of Michigan. This plan ha
been onrrlcd out already In Kansas , Novnd
mid some other status.
By such arrangements ns these democrat
who claim to bo In favor of honest mono
nnd acuinst thn nbbtird Hat schemes of th
wcavorltcs desert their own principles a
well as their own candidates , nnd conlost :
with n crowd of wild-oycd vislonnrlcs.whos

bo followed by national ruin.
Tlio Fusion Ummplrncy.
( .Vifni/o | / TV'bunr.
The elections of 1S9J g.ivo the democrat
nil , or a majority of the members from tnlrr
states. The republicans have twelve ani
the people's party two Kansas and Nc
brnska. Thus the democrats have mor
than two-thirds of the states , anil will hav
no dlfilculty In electing Cleveland , provld
Ing they can Ueop Hnrnsou'a electoral vet
below 'J * ) . These fusions of hiird mono' '
democrats with shlnplnstorVeaverHo
are for tbo purpose of dolnu that thlnp , tbi
Woavcrltos rciiublicuns being used ns cats
paws to elect Cleveland.
These coalitions of men who have not om
principle in common is bad enough , butovnr
worse Is the Inet that the objsct Is to elect i
president by u house which wa ? chosen twi
years ago , who.se members were not olectci
on presidential but largely on purely loca
Issuca. The choice should bo made 'by tin
houno elected at the same llmo the prosldon
is voted for , which should assemble withii
two months nfter its election. U neressaril
must represent far moro nearly the wishes 6
the people for president than 0110 cliDaon tw >
years beforo.
Again. 1'roildcnt Harrison might receive
plurality of 1,000,000 on the popular vote , th
republicans might carry a majority of hous
members in twonty-threo or twenty-foil
states out of the forty-four , nnd Ilarriso :
tniBlit receive many moro electoral vote
than any one of bis competitors , might go
'Ji'J electors , and yet if ho failed to cot 'Ji
electoral votes ho would bo beaten nnd Cleveland
land elected by the votes of states cast b
congressmen elected In IS'JO. when part'
platforms luul not been made or candidate
chosen and no one was thinking of tbo prcsl
dency.
It is monstrous that the old house shouli
ol'iot a president , nnd that , too , when a nov
house Is already elected. But although th
democrats raged over It In 1SU4 , when state
which had given Jackson their electoral vote
were recorded against him in the house , the
have never since consented to the change
necessary to bo made lo give to a new hous
the functions properly belonging to it.
It is too late to make the correction now
and the republicans must confront the un
pleasant situation. They must open thoi
eyes to the tact that the democrats nro no
working for Weaver , but for Cleveland ; tha
by helping Weaver to some electoral vote
buvond the Missouri river they uro seciirnij
tbo presidency for the fat prophet nnd tb
federal olllccs for their own spoilsmen.
Tboso being the facts ; will republican sim
plctons west of the Missouri vote for Woavci
electors so as to piece Cleveland ? Will eli
soldiers , old pensioners , go through the 1'ori
of voting for Weaver to elcctUloveland.thel
bitterest enemy ? Are they such simpleton
that they can bo led around by the nose b'
'
Harrity , Whitney , Gorman , and the otho'
democratic schemers ot tbo east ?
The democrats uro building their liopos o
success on those unholy alliances. The lleli
they will work the most earnestly is that be
tween the Missouri and tbo Hookies. Thor
is where the World's boodle fund is beini
expended to keep the editors of local demo
cratic papers from grumbling and local dem
ocratlc politicians from kicking up a row
Will the republican papers of that section d
their duty and instruct their reaJors as t <
the democratic gnrao that is being played ot
their states j

tbo report that Mrs. Harrison's health was

no perceptible change In Mrs. Harrison's
condition today , stio passed n quiet
night nnd was feolltig nbout the same
touay ns yesterday. Mrs. Harrison fre
quently asks for the president to perform
some httlo service for her nnd he feels Hint
ho ought to bo hero wlion she wants him.
Ho believes tlmt In their generosity tlio
American people will not criticize him for
not attending the celebration , but will rather

"
president has not announced that ho" will not
