TIW AMT/O.V.S / nKHRAVEMKNT.
The nation mourns the death of Mrs.
Harrison. Everywhere throughout th'ls
brond land the hearts of mon nnd of
women are touched with n profound sorrow
row , nnd It human sympathy can heal
the wounds of tlioaa to whom the loss of
wlfo nnd mother is nn unspeakable bereavement -
roavomont , It Is given them -without
llinlU For weeks the American people
shared In the alternating hope nnd
nnxloty of those who kept devoted vigil
by the bedside of the aflltclod. Every
report that rntno from the slok room
wus solicitously rend in millions of
homos. When Mrs. Harrison asked to
bo token from the mountain resort ,
wlioro a restoration to health was
sought , back to the sunshine of Wash
ington , there wns : i general fooling of
gratification when her request was com
piled with , and a universal hope that
the chancre would bring improvement.
All this win testimony to n degree of
popular alTection which no other woman
since the mother of Washington
has enjoyed. The extent of that
affection IH the measure of the popular
sorrow.
Mrs. Harrison represented the high
est standard of American womanhood ,
and , indeed , of all true womanhood. To
hur , homo hud a loftier moaning than
anything else under heaven , nnd her
duties aa wife and mother were above
nil others , save her obligations to her
Mtikor. The Htor.y of her life la that of
slinplu and faithful performance of
every domestic function. A woman of
culture and refinement , capable of moot
ing the highest social demands , she did
not sock the diversions of society ns an
object of life , Dili rather accepted nnd
performed what society required of her
as ii duty. The testimony Is that none
discharged this duty moro worthily.
Whether its a private lady In her homo
at Indianapolis , or entertaining as a
senator's wtfo , or presiding over the
white house as the lirat lady of the land
everywhere she was the same gra
cious , considerate , hospitable hostess
everywhere she maintained the unoa-
Imitations muiiiiflrs and the unaffected
dignity of a true and noble womanhood.
In all those respects Mrs. Harrison
was an example of which American
women may well bo proud , and which
all women would do well toeirultxto.
That she loft the impress of her superior
qualities upon the social life of her time ,
an fur as she came in contact with it , is
not to bo doubted , and in her death ,
after weary weeks of patinnt suffering ,
marked by the tondorost care anti most
faithful devotion of hnaoand and chil
dren , there is a lesson to her sox of the
worth of it , pure , useful and unselfish life.
rm STOCK HAISEIIS.
In nn article on the decline of the
stock business in Great Britain the Lon
don financial 'Jimts says :
The order recently Issued by the board of
agriculture , which came into force on the
lOih of bopteuibor , permits the Importation
of shcop from tbo United States on vessels
with c.iltlu from tliat country. It will
ilnubtiois cncourago a llvo trade in sucop ,
which Is on the Increase tlioro , while tbo
claim recently maiio by Secretary RusK ,
whca ho declared tbo Uuilcd States free
from nU'uro-pncumonta , is suggestive of the
entry of live cuttle from the United States
into our inland markets at no remote data.
It sucms probable that wo shall soon bo dependent -
pendent on America for our beef , with the
result thut cattle brooding , which has till
Intoly been the main prop of our agriculture ,
will bccotno ns unprofitable as wheat grow
ing.
Few subjects are of deeper interest to
the western farmer than that hero re
ferred to. It has locn evident for some
time that Europe was becoming moro
and moro dependent upon the United
States for its muni supply. Our exports
of cattle , hogs and sh'eop have enor
mously increased of late and there seems *
lobe a good prospect that they will con
tinue to do so. it is undoubtedly true
that England will soon be largely de
pendent upon America for her beef and
for other meats. Wo can ralso stock
more cheaply than England can , and for
that matter no country of Europe can
compote with no. The vast areas of
grazing land in the west will continue
for many years to invite the enterprise
of stock raisers , and with judicious man
agement they can produce the best of
meats at prices which will defy Euro
pean com poll linn. The exports of bout
and pork from the packing houses of
South Omaha have wonderfully in
creased during the past year and Chicago
cage and Kansas ( Jlty have also had n
great foreign trido. The future of the
moat business In the west is lull of
promise and the prospect of a growing
market in ICuropu affords every encour
agement to the western stockman.

The statistics for each branch of the
great textile industries huvo recently
been completed by the census bu-oau.
It appears from the tables presented
that the increase in silk manufacture
has been most striking , bolng Ili7o per
cent in the value of the products , but
cotton ranks second w th an IncroiiHO ol
'MM per cent and wool third with an
increase of 20ll ! ! pur cent. The average
increase in the textile Industry it , Iiasi
per cunt. It nppo.ira from the report ,
however , that wool stands llrat In rela
tive importance among the textile man
ufactures with a product valued at &JU7-
703,1)21 , with cotton prouucts second ,
valued at $1 ! 7,1)SI,724 ) , nnd silk products
third , valued at $37,2)3,4il. ! ) The increase -
crease In the total of thoan tjxtllo prod
ucts during the pint ton years has
boon 8102 , 72WI. ( This aurp.wsoj all
previous records of growth in this or
any other country.
The moil Intoi-osting fo.ituro of those

the amount of w.iges paid to opor.vtoro.
In thu combined ludiutrios rofo-rod to

in 1BSO. These wngos , it is to bo remem
bered , tire the average earnings of men ,
women and children. As there has boon
11 grail reduction in the prices of the
goods produced In those thrco Industries
it IB evident thot , thu total production
v * -H , ' - -
must bo vastly grantor thi > n It was ton
yoara ago in order to make so great an
increase in the value of the product.
These fitrures ought to bo very sug
gestive to the American workingman.
They prove conclusively that industries
which rank nmoni ? the most important
in the United States nro growing with
great rapidity , that the wages of their
operatives are Increasing , and that the
prices of their products nro steadily
falling. The poor man Is especially la-
torested in the growth of our cotton and
wool textile Industries. Ho has to buy
the products of these mills , and ho has
every reason to congratulate himself
upon the fact that llioy are flourishing ,
nnd that whllo they are reducing the
cost of the goods which ho must buy ,
they nro at the same time enlarging the
field of American labor and bettering
the condition of their employes. The
protection of homo Industries is not
merely an advantage to the manufac
turer It promotes the interests of the
worklngman by making a market for
labor , nnd by cheapening the commodi
ties which he is compslled to
TllK SA..MU HEHE.
Ex-Senator Hill of Colorado , in an
open letter to the voters of that state ,
gives among several reasons for repub
lican success "that the orodlt and repu
tation of Colorado will bo injured be
yond all calculation should the Weaver
ticket bo successful. " Simply as a busi
ness proposition , says Mr. Hill , "I am
of the opinion that the election of the
Weaver ticket In Colorado would millet
an injury upon our credit from which It
would require years to recover. "
Cnn any practical man doubt that
populist success in Nebraska would have
the sumo damaging effect upon the
credit and reputation of this stnto that
it would have upon Colorado ? The con
ditions in the two states are very much
alike , that is , both must depend for
their development upon outside capital
and upon attracting population from
other portions of the country. What
ever would repel these from the one
would bo equally effective in repelling
thorn from the other. Nebraska has
already had enough experience to war
rant the conviction th it populist success
would seriously injure the credit and
reputation of the slate. Everybody who
has given intelligent attention to the
matter knows that the now political
movement has retarded the progress of
Nebraska and boon a chock upon its
prosperity. The damage done hero has
not boon as serious , perhaps , as in Kan
sas , chiefly for the reason that the supe
rior capabilities of Nebraska offer
stronger inducements to investment and
settlement , but no well-in formed man
will question that this state would have
gained moro largely than it has done in
the last two or throe years hud it not
boon for the danger of the success of the
now political movement. That danger
is still present , though it is diminish
ing , there is every reason to believe , aa
the day of election approaches , but not
until it is swept away by a defa.it of tbo
populist party so complete as to leave no
chance for the donrigoguos in that or
ganization to do further mischief will
Nebraska realize that degree of progress
and prosperity which ought to bo hers.
There could be no stronger proof of the
generally high esteem in which the ca
pabilities of Nobrabka are hold than the
fact that notwithstanding disparage
ment and misrepresentation , the menace
of prohibition and the equally great
danger from the new political move-
merit , she has gone steadily forward in
material development , and it is surely a
fair and reasonable Inference that if
these obstacles to progress wore removed -
moved , the advance would bo much moro
rapid than it has boon. Regarded from
n purely practical standpoint tlioro
cannot bo a reasonable doubt that popu
list success in Nebraska would inflict
incalculable damage upon the state , af
fecting not ono or two but all interests ,
from which It would require years to
recover. The experiment already had
should be sufficient
A JUSTlt'rAHFiK SELFISH ffKSS.
"When wo deal with foreign nations , "
said Senator Mandorson in his speech
at Hebron , "wo want to got moro than
we give. " This is the republic in posi
tion , but It is the reverse of the posi
tion taken by the democracy in this
campaign. It is ono of the most sur
prising things in political history that a
party claiming to represent the people
and to apeak In behalf of their interests
should not only favor n policy by which
a competing nation would gain a great
advantage , but should also accuse its
opponents of cruel indifference to the
"brotherhood of man. " It should bo
remembered that the first duty of any
nation is Half-protection. Nothing could
bo moro absurd than the pretense that
it Is incumbent upon the American poo-
nlo to make laws that will favor the
manufacturer and the wage earner of
Great Britain. So far ns wo have ob
served no republican journil or orator
has rejoiced over the depression that
1ms been ounod in England by the enforcement -
forcemont of our protective p ) lloy. The
facts have buon referred to for no other
purpose but to show that free trade Is
not the rich blessing which its demo
cratic advocates In this country claim it
to bo.
It is true that wo want to cot moro
than wo glvo when wo deal with foreign
nations. England has bjou trying for
inorii than a cotitury to got nnro than
she gave in her commo.'clnl dealings
with us , and it lias boon openly declare4
In parliament that , the true policy for
England was to crush out every Amer
ican industry in its infancy in order that
competition might be rendered impossi
ble. It is not proposed by the advocates
of protection that EncrlisU industries
shall bo throttled , but only that the
American manufacturer nnd wage
curnor shall bo taken care of. If that
mo.uiB a heartless disregard of the
"brotherhood of , man , " the free tradore
are at liberty to make the most of it.
A DISPATCH from Toronto states that
ulTorlB will be nmdo from this time forth
to induce emigrants from western
Europe who have gone , or nro going , tc
the northwestern states , to nettle in the
Canadian northwest. There is really
nothing now about this , for the Cana
dians imvo long sought to secure i
larger share of the European immlgra-
lion. At present-only a very small pro *
portion of the paoplo who cross the sea
to seek homos on rYlA continent are at-
'traded to the Dominion. This Is not
altogether duo1' id the fact that
the ngrlculturaf resources of the
states are bettor * than these of
Canada , for it' ; is'well known that
largo portions ol tno Dominion are
peculiarly adapted to agricultural prod
ucts. The real tenth is that Immigrants
come to the United States bociuiso they
like its institutions butter than these of
Canada. They have had enough of
European forms of government and do
not wish to Bool : homos in n country
that is controlled by Great Britain. A
government that Is of the people , for
the people nnd by the people has its at
tractions for these who are leaving
Europe to bettor their condition. They
nro not ignorant of the advantages
which the United States offers to the
poor man by reason of an administra
tive policy which aims to make his lot
as easy as possible and to encourage him
in the accumulation of property. Under
present conditions Canada cannot ex
pect to compete with this country in
attracting immigrants.
TUB haphazard manner in which
jurors are selected in this district is sure
to work hardships upon Hgltants. The
people want good men on the bench ;
litigants strive to retain reputable at
torneys to try their cases and go to
great lengths to satisfy themselves of
the honesty and integrity of mon whom
they employ to conduct their cases before -
fore any high court. But jurymen nro
selected hit or miss usually miss. It
would seem to bo considered as a
small matter whether a juror has a con-
clenco or not. The atmosphere of a
iourt of justice , the admonition of an
upright julgo or the great weight of
unshaken testimony will not make a
dishonest juror vote on the sldo of
iqulty and right. With more care in
lie selection of men for our juries the
aourU of this city would bo spared
inch scandals as that which ro-
lultod in the woll-doservod rebuke -
buko which Judge Irvine ndtnin-
ntorod to Juror Rodoy , whom ho
dismissed from the panel in disgrace.
Doubtless this proceeding will have n
wholesome olToct upon careless mon
who have no conception of the sanctity
of their oaths as jurors nnd whoso
prejudices overshadow all sonao of jus
tice.

THE "Weekly Tin Plato Hoport" of
Messrs. Thomas & Stirling of Bradford ,
England , dated -October 7 , has this :
Present slaughter pi-ices are tolling a ,
tnlo in south - Wales ; about 180
mills are standjngJ idle and prob
ably will not , , bq' ' restarted until
the men agree to' a very appre
ciable reduction : 'in their wages. "
This state of affairs as duo to American
lompotition undor. the McKiuloy law.
The Welsh tin 'fotatp makers cannot
stand the pressure' ' and are obliged to
close their milU and throw their mon
'
out of employment. If the latter can bo
induced to accept a further reduction
from the beggarly wnges which they
have received iniho'past the mills maybe
bo started again. * Their condition is in
striking contrast with that of the
American workiuginan and the differ
ence is simply the difference between
protection and free trado. Could any
thing bo more dishonest than the miser
able pretense of the demonrats that pro
tection has done nothing for the young
tin plate industry of this country1 ;
ELSKWIIKKE in this issue Tine BEE
prints a letter from Mr. Charles Woog
tor , the Morrick county alliance-repub
lican. Mr. Woostor is a member of the
alliance in good standing , yet ho re
pudiates the leadership that two years
ago coerced many democrats and ropub
licnns in the alliance into voting the
Independent ticket. He makes use of
some vigorous language in his arraign
ment of the mon who have almost
wrecked the nlliancn in their dcsiro to
make it a political machine by which
they sought to foist themselves into
power. The letter will bo road with
interest.
IT WILT , bo remembered how the dem
ocratic party hns a horror of a surplus'
in the treasury when they are not in
power. Mr. Blaine in his late article
refers to the record of President .loffcr-
son on the surplus and on the tariff
policy in those words : "Ills action in
1807 when he declined to recommend
the repeal or alteration of the revenue
law , nftur a surplus of 814,000,000 had
been accumulated , puts him In the
sharpest contrast to Mr. Cleveland who
In liis term of olllce treated the surplus
accumulated as the sura of all vil
lainies. "

From the bulletins that are so frequently

Not ono word of sympathy and encourngo-

ountry's dofmider < who lost their llvos in
lofenso of the nation's Hag. Was over the
oldbloouodnoss of n political party as
trougly exemplified ns in this instance !
Why , even the old democratic party with
ts solid south and southern sympathy , never
urea to ignore the righteous and humane
emands of the union soldier. The country
las never bcforo witnessed such studied
loglect of the old soldier's interests and con-
; eded right ? on thu part of u political party
lidding for national recognition.
Following the platform is a resolution
vlucU makes a strained allusion to the
oldler and his pension rights , but it is hollow
mid without heart , and in its preamble dib-
Inctl.v states that it is no part or parcel of
bo national platform. Simply a fifth wheel
0 tbo independent cart , a useless und pur-
loseless uttachmeut , a stub thrown to the
vholo , a sop , a mockary , n dUcrace to tbo
Ymerieau people : an unpardonable insult to
the men who were thu blue.
To ono who was present at the convention
and watched the proceedings , however , as
was the writer , it was no surprise that tbo
soldier wus ignored and relegated to the
roar. A most noticeable feature of this
gathering was the southern representation ,
composed mainly of ex-rebel brigadiers , and
witli them , ot course , the union soUUor
didn't count to anv alarming extent. The
Mrodox of presenting the rolwl General
- ' on a pension platform , was too much
'or them to countenance. They could do vio-
enco to their feelings long tmougb lo march
around tha hall to the tuna of Yankee Doodle
irovkled it was counteracted to tuo timn of
Dixie , but a pension platform would
lover do. At this the southern
scions drew thd Hue , and the result
, s th'at tbo soldier nnd bis pension are made
1 siuo issue an outside isstio. They bring
up the rear , and ostracised by this notice
to the world : "This IB uo part of the plat
form. "
Can it be , Mr. Editor , that the old soldier
does not know when ho is insulted ) Is It
possible that when ho Is knocKed tlown ,
jumped upon and stumped Into the earth ,
tlguruiivcly speaking , thut ho noos not know
; tl Or has ho become so mucnunimous that
tie is willing to submit himself to any in
dignity that bis southern brothers mav heat )
upon him , and forego all the well-earned
privileges which heretofore have been ac
corded him by a grateful people ) I do not
believe that over inference is correct. It
is my firm belief that tbo old soldleri , as a
body , will emphatically rebuke tbUpremedi-
lutnd insult at the polls on the bth of next
mouth by casting their bullets for the party
wbioh has always hold them in
grateful remembrance and suited earn
est action to professions by liberal
pension laws. That they will stay by the
old lonublican party the only party of prin
ciples and progress asking for the sufl'niEOS
ot Ihu Amerioin people today. The patty
which stiuicU up for America uud Americans
nnd Is now being maao the target for the
slinlts of southern innlico and Knglisb free
trade cupidity and ouvy.
If lo\o of country , patriotic devotion to the
land of nuo's nativity or adoption is to bo
upheld nnd encouraged , tbo Intuits toward
the c'OJiitry's Uolonders must bo rbulteil
und condemned , else the iiros of patriotism
will smoulder and die. Therefore , lot the
old soldiers , thuirsons and all trratuful citi
zens resent the Indignltv which tha indo
ponnent party bas designedly and gra
tuitously offered thorn , on the 6th of next
month in an emphatic nml no inicorta.ii . way.
It is duo to the noblest soldiery that over re
sponded to any country's call. It is duo to
American dignity and American love of
patriotism. CLIIIKNOK Sunii.

say-
That the winter of ' 59 was full of blizzards and so
much snow fell that all the
valleys were filled up level
with the hills. Didn't snow
on the hills. This winter , they
say , will see some mighty
cold weather and overcoats
will be in as much demand as
ever. Our overcoats are
proper in style. We make
them as well as tailors do and in most cases they fit bet
ter. GooJ overcoats $10. Hotter ones $15 to $20.
Richly trimmed anl most popular fabrics are in our
$25 , $28 , $30 to10 overcoats. Every known style and
color , from a light fall coat to a great storm ulster.
