The political campaign In this itnto
IB assuming greater activity. All par
ties peaH/.o that In the period of less
than four wcukj before the day of elec
tion there mint bo n jrront deal of hard
nnd earnest work clone. The campaign
hero has not been more quiol than In
most other state ? , but n gonornl awak
ening is taking plncu , nnd the next
three wcoks will doubtless witness a
notablu tluvolopmontof poiltiu.il Interest
throughout the country.
The nspoL't of the situation in this
state is unquestionably favorable to the
republicans. There is evidence on
every hand that the populists are stead
ily losing strength. They nro not hav
ing the largo and enthusiastic tucclingH
which marked the opening of thulr cam
paign , anil the Intolllgont discussion of
their principle ? Is drawing away from
them manv thoughtful men who had Im
pulsively adopted the idea that the now
political movement might have some
practical results for Iho goncr.il good.
What hundreds of such inon Imvo
learned from : i fair and candid consider
ation of Iho cat dinal principles of the
Dooplo's party is that they arc essun-
tialiy unsound and imprai'Ucablo , and
tliut their adoption IIH n policy ol gov
ernment , would Inevitably eventuate in
a far worse condition of nlTc.irs than is
now complained of. It is only necessary
to fairly and fully dissect such oxpodl-
.puts as the mibtreasury scheme and the
Hat currency proposal to discover that
they must prove worthless as a means of
relief to any interest and contain only
Iho promise of ultimate disaster and
ruin to all legitimate interests.
Another inlluonco that ia operating
to decro'iso the populist strength is the
well-founded feeling that the success ol
that pai ty would bo to a very serious
extent inimical to the progress anil
prosperity of Nebraska. It certainly
could not by any possibility promote
these , and if it had any effect it would
bo u damaging one. Kvory practical
mnn understands what the coiihoquoncos
wore of the partial success of the popu
list movement two years ago , and it is
reasonable to apptouond far more
serious results bhould that movement
bo entirely successful in the election ol
this year. Nebraska has grown In de
spite of this drawback , nnd the promihc
of the future seems bright , but con
tinued progress depends very grcatlj
upon whether the alTairs of the state
are to bo entrusted to the ivnunijnmenl
of capable and conservative men , 01
put in control of bolf-socking poll
ticians , who arc ready to go to any ox-
tromo.in o 'dor to oorvo their persona
ambition. The populist loaders in No
brnsku do not present such a el.iim tt
conCdonco in their ability anel worth as
warrants committing to their care th <
administration of tlio alTairs of thu
great state.
The manifest hopeloasnosj of the
populist cause as a national movement
is another reason lor desertions from it
It is boon to be practically clo il in tin
south , wliei'o it hud oxpoccud to capture
the electoral votes of sover.il states , ant
former republicans who g.ivo their ad
hcsion to the now movement arc not dis
posed to bo ni'do catsp.iws of I no democratic
cratic pnrty.
While , however , the conditions in Ne
oraska appear to bo favorable to rcpub
licau success- there must bo no abalo
meiit of zeal nnd earnest work on th <
part of republic\ns. The fight during
the remaining days of the campaigi
must bo carried on vigorously all alonj
the line , to tlio end that no point sball
bo neglected and no ad vantage lost

The duoibion of .Tustico Brewer in the
case of the United States vs Western
Union Telegraph and Union I'acilie
Telegraph companies is ono of the moa
important decrees that lias cvur ema
nated from the federal court.
The charter of the Union Pacilic rail
way company expressly requires tlm1

graph between Omaha and Ogden foi
the benefit of the public as well as foi
the railroad train service. That portion
tion of the charter has boon ignored 01

nnd onurato its llnosi in conformity witl

As might have boon oxpectad , both o

so long as Jay Gould controls both tin

The joint debate between .ludgo Field ,
republican candidate for congress in the
First district , and Congressman Bryan ,
\\IM \ \ ended. Tlio discussion of the issues
of the campaign by thnso gentlemen hns
boon board bv most of the people of the
district , and it is probable thnt very few
of the votora hnvo not mtido up tholr
minds in to whom tlioy will support.
Kogarding the eomp.irutlvo merits of
the dob.itoM It is not necessary to ex
press nn opinion. Everybody concedes
to Mr. Bryan u good order ot ability in
this direction and candid opinion
credits Judge Field with having sits-
mined his cause ndinlnibly. Something
innj iiroporly bo said , however , regard-
In ir what the two inon represent as de
termining wliich ono has the hotter
claim to represent a Nebraska con
stituency in congress.
Unquestionably u majority of the
voters of the First district believe in tlio
American system of protection , in the
policy of roclnrocily nnd in a sound cur
rency. It is safe to say tlmt only a. very
mcagro minority of thorn accept tlio
dcmoorat'c iloctrino that p-otection is
unconstitutional or believe thnt it would
bo wise to accedeto the democratic
demand for the restoration of state bank
currency. A great many of them may
believe that the present tarilT law i :
not perfect and that it might bo changed
in some rospoets with bandit to all
Intorcbte , but this is not the question.
The democratic party doas not. stoji
with asa-illlng tin McKlnloy law. It
declif-cs any ana all protection to be
unconstitutional. That party denounces
reciprocity as a sham and a humbug
and is virtually pledged to destroy that
pol'oy ' if given the opportunity. It is
in favo-of 11 p.iper eiiivohcy issued by
tlio status , which could not bo made a
legal tender and would inevitably result
in loss to producers and wage earners ol
the country.
Mr. Bryan is in full sympathy with
his parly in regard to all thcso questions ,
lie is a pronounced and unconditional
free trader. His course in congres1
abundantly shows this , and his public
utterances leave no doubt that bad he
tlio power ho would destroy protection
root and branch. There is nowhere in
the country to-day , not excepting the
agents of foreign importers , n more
earnest otiomy of American industries
than William J. Bryan , the democratic
candidate for congress In tbo First
district of this stato. In this ho misrep
resents the people of Nebraska , as he
also docs in his advocacy of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver , and in his
adhesion to Iho party demand for the
restoration of a wild-cat currency. The
producers of this state , who constitute si
largo majority of its people , do not wanl
protection destroyed , do not want reci
procity abandoned , and do not want c
debased or depreciated currency. Mr
Bryan is the advocate o [ all those , and
therefore it would bo a reflection upor
the intelligence and the honesty of the
people of Nebraska and an injury to the
state to re-elect him to congress. Judge
Field renrusents the vital principles o :
the republican party. Do believes ir
protecting American industries ani
American labor , and in maintaining
sound nnd stable currency policies ni
essential lo the prosperity of Nobruslu
ns to that of anv other state.

I'ullroiid the mayor and council should
boar in mind that the city cannot safely
surrender the title deeds to Iho depot
grounds before the depot has been com
pleted. .If the deeds once pass out of
the hiinds of Iho mayor the city will
have no redress , oven it the company
should delay the construction ot the
depot indefinitely or make changes in
its plans that would cheapen the build
ing and reduce its capacity. The only
safe course is to withhold the title deeds
until the depot Is finished or to place
them in escrow. The experience Omaha
1ms had with r.iilroaA corporations does
not inspire conildonco in their perform
ances.
IT Ai'i'KAiis that some of the people
who have seen the exhibit of Nebraska
products now on its way east cannot ro-
siyt the temptation to start directly lor
a visit to this state. Ticket agents along
tl.o route say that tlio sale of tickets for
Nebraska has greatly increased since
the exhibition train Visited their towns.
Immediate results ot this kind wore not
anticipated , for the results of last ycar'e
advertising exhibit jvoro not apparent
until th" present yoav&vhon thousands
of people were brought bore by the ex
cursions. This year's exhibit is a
great improvement upon the previous
ono and is attracting a great deal of at
tention , thousands having visited it ir
the states through \ylil\fli \ it has passed.
Tm : September report of the Kaixw
Board of Agriculture ; , which deals with

shows that Kanbas has done pretty well
this year nfl'or all. Aii average wintei
wheat yield of 18. G bushels , with a total
of 70,305,850 bushels scum's like a good
showing. The final report of the corr
crop is not yet given , but It la estimated
sit more than 1-10,000,000 bushels. The
winter wheat act cage in that state will
bo considerably reduced next year if the
dry weather continues to prevent seed-
inc1. In Nebraska winter wheat seeding
is also delayed by the same cause , and
it is to bo feared that the anticipated
boom in tills cereal in our state will be
interfered with.
THK chairman of the now defunct
Western Trallle association says that its
dissolution will not cause any domorall <
/.atiou of rates because there is so much
business for the roads to do that it is
not necessary to cut rates. This is un
doubtedly true at present , for the west'

Captain 1J O. Phillips of Lincoln Is in the

would not bo carried out , as the democrats
nil through the state outsldn of Omaha anc }
Lincoln would not submit to It , nnd oven tn
these cities ho found a strouc sentiment
against It , because of the Influence It might
Imvu on the gubernatorial voto. He knew
that Hon. .1. Sterling Morton was doing a
grant dual to hold the democrats in line mid
that innuy ot their most substantial business
men were coinbntlng the fusion plan , be-

the congressional nominees in the First dis
trict. lie finished his own series with Mr.
Kern last Saturday , nnd being in the capital
city on other business , availed himself of
Iho opportunity to hoar his follow candi
dates , and dispassionately ana without
prejudice size up" the sltuntion so far as they
were concerned. Itwus the llrst time that
ho had ever hoard Bryan , nna ho was very
much disappointed , as ho had hoard so much
about him ns an orator and great debater ,
thut ho expected something consider
ably bettor than ho received. lie
found both debaters nt tbcir best , and
the situation was such that ho wns able to
form a very accurate opinion of the strength
of the pair. Ho noted carefully the argu
ments of each anu the manner in which they
were received , and had no hesitancy in say
ing that Judge Field had considerably the
belter of it. While ho had some doubts
before as to tlio situation In tbo Firstdistrict ,
ho Is now certain that the republican nominee
will represent it in the next coi.gress.
Regarding h [ niv-n fight ho snld that i > ; una

As far as the state ticket was concerned ho
did not think that there wns the slightest
prospect that it wouln bo defeated , as till
below the head of it would have a walkowav ,
and the way the thine was going oven thu
governor would bo elected bv n plurality of
10,000 , notwithstanding the fight that Van

night nnd had n peaceful dnv. A dispatch

It says plainly that Mrs. Harrison's death is
n question of weelis or months onlv , nnd in
timates Hint misleading information has
been civon out at Iho white houso.
The fact is that no effort has been mndo at
any tlmo to coucoal the serious character of
Mrs. Harrison's illness. But that there is
no Imminent danger of death should bo
sufllcointly proved by the attitude
of the members of Mrs. Harrison's '
family. Her son would certainly
not bo absent from Washington if tboro were
