No higher duty will devolve upon the j
voters of Nebraska In the election of
next Tucsdny tlinn that of protecting
the stnlo npnlnst the injury that would
result from the success of the party
whoso misrepresentations have retarded
Us progress * during the pnst two or
three years. Kvcry ' mnn of practical
uITnirs Knows that the disparaging nnd
discrediting statements of the nopullst
lenders , helloing In every CIHO the real
fncts nnd conditions , huvo done grcnt
hnrm to Ncbraskn. and nothing cnn bo
more certain than thnt the success of
the populist party In the coming election
would work an Injury to the material
welfare of llm btala which It would take
years to recover from.
The growth of NobniHka In population
nnd wealth , oliico its organization as n.
state , constitutes ono of the brightest
Chaplin's in tlio wonderful history of
western progress. Few Mates show a
more remarknblo record of progress
during the lust quarter ot a century.
In 1S70 J obrii ka hud a population of
les1) than 1L',000. ! Now she has nearly
ton I lines that number of people.
Twenty-live years ngo tboro was In full
operation in the stale ! O H than 2oO
miles of railroad ; now her railroad
tnllonuc is o.lOO , within less tlinn 1,000
miles of tlio tot-il railway in'.lnngu ol all
the Now I'lngland stato-i. Oil-ing this
period what was designated in the mnpn
at the time of the admission of No-
urnHka into the union as the "trront
American doiort" hns bccomo ono of the
most fruitful agricultural regions in the
world , producing annually si largo crop
of the best corn in the world , with other
cereal , and constituting ono of the
finest htofU-raisiiig regions in the coun
try. Computed at the lowest estimate
the value of the grain and cattle pro
ducts of Nebraska in 1SU1 exceeded JTo-
000,000 , while the products of the manu
facturing industries of the state wore to
tlio value of not less th in 910,000,000.
ThtH the products of Nobrask I's farm s
factories nnd mills considerably ex
ceeded SIOO.i 100,000 in value last year.
No ether hlito reali/od sn higli a per-
ccntngu in increase of population during
the decade between 1SSO mid 1SDO. and
in few of them was the growth in
wealth greater.
These facts should powerfully appeal
to state pride and patriotism , nnd when
it is romemboicd llmt Nebraska has
hardly moro than passed beyond the
period of infancy , that there are vast
resources yet to bo developed , and that
wo have a to'-ritory capable of support
ing at least live times the prosonl num
ber of Inhabitants , no citixon who sin
cerely doiros that Nebraska .shall keep
abreast with her sister states in material
progress and prosperity will vote to put
any obstacle in the way of her advance
ment.
Tliat the success of tlio populist party
would have an immediate and wide-
reaching oll'oct detrimental to the in
terests and welfare of the state wo think
every intelligent man of practical ox
poi'ienco must admit. Jf the moro ap
prehension of the possible success of
that party has served to repel capital
and populntion , nnd there is conclusive
evidence that such has boon the case , it
logically follows that if the populists
win ut the cominj * election , securing the
governor nnd the legislature , the elTcct
must bo to very greatly increase dis-
truftt regarding Nebraska and thus
repel both capital and population. The
people of this state could make no
graver mistuko at this time than to
endorse by their votes the disparaging
and unwarranted statements that have
been sent abroad regarding tlio indebt
edness of our people , the unprofitable
ness of farming in Nebraska , and the
general thick of prosperity. Populist
success next Tuesday will moan a chock
to progress and probable retrogression
for Nebraska. Republican victory wll
menu greater activity in every depart
ment of enterprise and an accelerated
movement along all the lines of ad
vancement.

Several months ngo Miss C. C. Ton-
nant Clary , an accomplished musician
who is ardently devoted to the develop
ment of musical art , came to Omnlia
with a proposition to glvo u season of
grand opera hero. She luid conceived
the idea Unit In the interest of music il
culture in this country , and in orJor to
nllord opportunity for the development
and ulili/ation of homo talent , it , was
nccc&e-ary to localize opera , for nothing
loss than operatic productions will glvo
the desired result. She had carefully
formulated her plan nnil bulccled this
city as a good place to put it into effect.
Her project mot with favor from many
of our citizens to whoso consideration
she presented it , and after n great deal
of arduous labor she secured the finan
cial support required. Tlio consumma
tion of her olTorts appears in the an
nouncement of a soiiuon of ouora at
Hoyd'a theater this week , wnen "II
Trovatoro , " "Faust" and "Lucia dl
Lamniormoor" will bo presented by aca-
pablo company of artists selected by nnd
under the direction of the able and veteran -
oran conductor , Max Murotnok. The
fact that the sliigm-s were selected by
MuroUok and llmt ho will direct the
production of the oparns Is ample assur
ance of the capabilities of the company
and that the great works of Verdi ,
Gounod and Donl/.ottl will bo produced
with a thoroughness and llnltm which
cannot fall to satisfy the moat cultured
and critical.
Thiiro ought to bo m/doubt regarding
the popular huccoss of the bauson , and
the citucim of Omaha owe it to themselves -
solves to mnko It a success Miss Clary's
project of localizing the operatic stage
is not a private enterprise , but a public
ono , which contemplates cstaull.shlng
generally , in cities where it can ha sus
tained , regular seasons of grand opera
which shall bo educational as well ns en
tertaining. As woinnnot have endowed
opera in this country , ns they hnvo In
Europe , MIST Clary bollov os that com
munities may regularly provide them-
uclvos with lii'ot class operatic entertain
ments at a inoderato oxpjnso , and there
can bo no doubt ns to the feasibility of
the idun , ns there cnn bo none respecting
the great service to the cuuso of nnibiuMl
culture nnd development which would
result from the general success of thu
plan ,
As the experiment is to liuvo its first
trlnl | in Oinnhn , our citizens who t'iko
nn ' Interest In the development of ,
musical ' art Miould ttiko pride in mrklng
It successful , If this 1m done nnd the '
opera shnll bcuuino ponuiuiontlv local'
Izeil licro , Uiniiha will become , as It
should bv , llio musical i-onter of this
section of country , and it cannot bo
n 'cs nry lo point out the advantage * of
such a position. Miss Clary has fully
carried out all tint < 0io proposed nnd
more , and wo are confident Unit our cltl-
7ons will generously iniuilfeat their iip-
prcciatlon of her olTorts.
In accordance with the bill pasiod bv
congress hi September lust the post
master general has entered Into a con-
.tract with the International Navigation
company for mail service between New
York and Antwerp. The company is
required by the o intr.iet to construct
IIvo now chips in addition to the City of
New York and City of Paris , which are
now In service. Altho.ijjli three years
are allowed for compliance with thu
terms of llio contract the company will
lose no llmo , but will at once begin wo.'it
iiii the new ships in Cramps' yard In
Philadelphia.
Thes-i now steamships which will bo
owned by n thoroughly American com
pany and lly the American ling , will cost
between $ S,000,000 and * ! 1,000OUI ) . They
will In built in un American shipyard
and in their construction American
nbor will bo employed and materials
ii'oduueu in the mines and mills of this
ountry will bo used. They will be
loblo specimens of naval nreliltooturo ,
iqulpped with the bast machinery , and
, vill be In every respect equal If not
uperlor to the boat products of the
English shipyards.
The stars and stripes , long ago pract-
cally driven from the seas uy tiio power
) f tlio Uritish policy of bestowing lio-
er.'il subsidies , will soon cease to bo a
trango sight in foreign ports. The ro-
I'ival of American shipping has begun
: md by it a now glory will bo relleclcd
ipon this country. The wonderful in-
jreaso in our foreign commerce nnd the
rapidly growing doiuinds of ocean
ravel will contrive year by year to in-
Tease the business of steamships nnd
ivill oauso their tiumbnr io multiply.
Tlio United State-i can build and sail
tenmships and proposes to do It.

The overhead trolley wire is begin-
ling to bo regarded by'insurance com-
[ > anlo4 in some cities as an element of
, 'isk siilllclontly Important to demand
jonsltloralion in establishing rates of
insurance. Tills hiw elicited vigorous
protests from business men who think
they see in the trolley wire a cause of
incrcused insurance rates in the near
future by which they will bo compelled
, o p-iy for the privileges which the
stroll railroad compinios enjoy. Tlio
trolley wire , suspended in the middle of
the street , is not insulated and may at
any time cause serious damage by con-
tno' with othoi' wires , which in every
ci ij * form a network above the principil
thoroughfares. Destruction of life and
p -oporty by moans of the trolley wire
may occur it any time , and accidents of
this nature have been stilllciontly fre
quent to justify the insurance companies
in regi.-diiig tlio overhead trolley as a
factor in making up their total of risks
as : i b-isis of rates. The question of rais
ing insu-auce rate ? on this account lias
been considered in many cities , but thus
f ir no action of .that kind is reported.
The storage battery , which has bean
successfully tried in some eastern citioa ,
ofi'ers a remedy for this evil which
should bo generally accepted as soon as
its practicability is fully established.
In the city ot Detroit tlio storage but
tery system has proved in every respect
aj oflccllvo and satisfactory as the over
head trolley system , which has been in
use there for years.
Accidents of a serious nature , some
times fatal , have boon caused in Omaha
by the trolley wire. There appears to
bo no goal roison why this city should
not 1)3 ono of the first in the west to
adopt the storage battery. An increase
in insurance rates baaed upon this element -
ment of risk would cause the buslnosi
men to protest against the overhead
wire ns vigorously ns those of other
cities ha vo recently done.

The democratic county central committee -
too of Douglas county has sent out n cir
cular to democratic voters iiiitructing
them to vote for tlio independent pee
ple's electors. ' Tills , " savs the circu
lar , "will defeat tiio republican electors
and ir.ay throw the election of president
into the house of representatives , which
is democratic , and in that event Cleveland -

land Biiroly It is
stated in the circular that the national
democratic committee ndviso.s demo
crats to so vote , and that it is demanded
by the state and county cominittons.
Accompany ing the circular is a sample
ballot marked so as to direct the voter
how to prepare his regular ballot.
"A yoto for Weaver is a vote for
Cleveland" Is the concluding admoni
tion of this appeal , and wo commend It
to the thoughtful consider itlon ot thosn
members of tlio populist party , formerly
republicans , who do not desire to help
the democratic p-irty set Mr. Cleve
land In the executive chair at Washing
ton , Tlio democrats know what they
are talking about when they say that a
vote for Weaver Is a vote for Cleveland ,
and if there Is any member of the third
party so deluded as to believe anything
different lie lacks the discernment neces
sary to an Intelligent votar. Thcro is
no possible chance of electing the popu
list candidate for president this year.
Air. Harrison or Mr. Cleveland will bo
the next president of the United States
if they live until March ) , 18011. If the
election should devolve upon the house
of representatives General Weaver
could expect to receive only two votes
in thnt body. Mr. Cleveland would bo
chosen by tlio house and Mr. Whltolaw
Hold would become vice president by
the votn of the senate. There U abso
lutely nothing in the national election
for the populist party , and any mnn who
pretends that there is anything is either
a fool or a knave. Every third p-irty
man should understand that in voting
for Weaver ho is helping to olcut Clove-
land.

The democratic party in the south has

section that they will not bo al
lowed to have a singla electoral
vote. The suno : pirty in the west ,
while approving the course of the
southern clement , proposes to use llin
populists to elect Us presidential candi
date , at the same time admonishiinr
democrats to bo loyal to their at.itc ,

It has been an open secret that .lohn
C. Thompson , who assumes to speak for
tlio A. L' . A. , was opposed lo Judge
Crounso and in favor of Thomas- Majors
ns candidate for governor. Tlio bolt in
the Douglas delegation from Croiiuso
wns made under his leadership. When
Crounso was finally nominated ho was
decidedly disgruntled and threats ot a
bolt from Crounso to Van Wyclv
were freely made by his follow
ers. The extravagant culogv of
Crounso and the violent atlacl ;
on Van Wyck , which appeared in
the last issue of his sheet has very
naturally created a bciisation. Why
should Thompson have so much to sny
for Crounso , so very little as regards
Majors and not n word as regards Mer
cer ? Majors was his preferred candi
date for governor , and ho wns at Ijincoln
urging Majors' selection by the stale
committee for lieutenant governor.
Mercer has been his boon companion
and of all others , is the man whom
ho wants olecftQd if every ether
candidate , high or low , is defeated.
Tlio manifest design of slopping over
Crounso and violently berating Van
Wyck as a tool wf the Romanist ? is to
htampedo the Catholic vote and elect
Crounso. It is scarcely credible that
this ingenious attempt to smother a
candidate with- * praise originated
with Thompson. Wo. see . in it
the Italiap hnjid of a Running
politician who desires on the eve of an
election to throw a great mass of demo
cratic voters to the independent candi
date for governor by arousing their
prejudice and causing them to stampede
in a body before they can discover that
they have been imposed upon.

Throughout the campaign now prac
tically.ended this paper has endeavored
to discuss political issues fairly and
plainly and lias paid little atlontioa to
the personality of the tivo principal can
didates. President Harrison has needed
no apology ; his character as a man and
as a statesman , his record ns the chief
magistrate of the United btates during
the past four years , his career in congress -
gross and in every position of public
trust , have placed him beyond reproacl :
as to his personal honesty and disarmed
criticism as to bis judgment , his discre
tion and his unselfish devotion to the
highest interests of the people whom ho
has Bcivod. In this campaign as in the
ono that preceded it the political ene
mies of the provident have not dared to
assail liis character or to challenge tlio
motives that have controlled liis action ,
flis letter of acceptance , which by
reason of a cruel bereavement has been
his only important utterance in this
campaign , commanded the respect , and
in many cases the avowed approval , of
fair-minded political opponents.
While the attitude of President Harrison
risen has boon one of absolute btibiniH-
sion lo llio will of the neoplo and perfect
freedom from pirtisan rancor , thnl of
G rover Cleveland has been the reverse.
As a candidate for the presidency ho is
nmunnblo to the same rules of courtesy ,
propriety and good taste ns those by
which his opponent has been controlled ,
As an aspirant for the third time for
the highest honors that can be bestowed
1 > V the American people , liu is bound to
bo at least candid , honest and fair , and
to rlbo above tlio level of the cheap poli
tician in his discussion of political
Issues , and in his < uttltudo toward his
opponents. To go'no ' further back than
to his recent speech at the Lenox
lycouin in New York city It is easy to
Hhow that Mr. C16Voland lius no appre
ciation whatever of liis true relation to
the people nor of'tho requirements of
propriety and trotl ! Jasto , lo say nothing
of truth and honesty. AHor speaking of
ether mutters ho declared that "the fiict
that , with all tnpb lhinga in our favor ,
wo still are not alwolutoly sure of HUO-
cobs would be stUrlling , If we did not
know the dospor. o and disreputable
methods which confront us , " n.id that
the republicans , "vanquished In every
argument worthy of presentation to the
reason of our countrymen , have ap
pealed to their passions and prejudices
through the distribution of the most
impudent lies concerning the record and
notion of our party and its candidates. "
Again ho said that it wns "a confession
most humiliating to American cltUon-
hhip , with a course so thoroughly in
trenched in tonson and commending
Hsuif so clearly to tlio intelligence of
p.trlotlc Americans , that wu daily hoar
predictions of ropub'.ioin success based
upon the ability of that party to pur-
chute the votss of the people. "
Such utterances us those oh on- the bad
judj-moav and ho narrow partisanship
of the mnn , and nl the > iuno time they
betray hN dishonuHy Nobody knows
bettor than ( .milor < . Icvolahd that hH
own party manager.- * , including many of
his poivonal Irlemls and associates ,
hiuo. dellborately and openly engaged
in every sncclojof co-Tiiptlon and fraud
to carry this election. In Albuiy nnd
in New York city and else where In his
own stnto gross frauds in naturalization
hnvo boon traced to democratic sources ;
in Arlington , Mu s. , the democratic
maiTasrors hnvo benn caught nt thosnmu
work , and in Alabama nnd Florida simi
lar frauds have been pnrpotralcd by
democrats. In Now York city the atti
tude of the democrats in opposition to
nil federal regulations to prevent friuds
nt the poll ; * is simply revolutionary.
Great sums o ( money have boon cceutod
by tlio managers of Mr. Cleveland's
campaign to bo mod as only democratic
corrnptlonists know how to use- such
funds. And yet Grover Cleveland says
that the supporters of his opponent are
determined to defy the will of the people
by defeating him with money !
There is la many respects a marked
tliflorenco betweou the pe. ' onal ch ir
aclcrn of the republic in ami the demo
cratic candidates for the presidency.
The ono Is candid , honest , dignified and
willing to abide by llio verdict of llio
people. The oilier is a man of prodigi
ous > -oll esteem who poses as a reformer
bnl U glad lo profit by corruption nnd
fraud , and who , wliilo claiming to repre
sent all that is goo.1 nnd uuro and all
llmt is wished for by the people , de
clares that the neoplo are soiling llioiu-
sohos to his opponent for money. There
is a considerable difference between tlu
two men.

ocrats who esteem him for his honesty
and great ability. This largo demo
cratic aid will undoubtedly bo increased
this year by reason of a despicable nt-
tnclc made upon him by the despicable
Dos Moiiios Ltmhr , which has charged
that Mr. Stone's administration has been
extravagant. Mr. Stone lias shown that
the expenses during his term have boon
loss than during nny of his predecessors
for many years , in spite of Iho greater
work which ho has been compelled lo
do. It may bo said to the credit ot the
other democratic papers of the state
that not one of them mis reprinted the
Lcudcr's charges but have quietly Ig
nored them or defended Mr. Stone , and
no campaign orator has made nny as
sault upon him by reason of this infa
mous attack. The life-long history of
Mr. Stone's honesty and fidelity to duty
will aid him in tlio votes cast next Tues
day , especially in the localities whore ho
is best known.
Tin : secretary of state has evidently
made a blunder in his directions to
county clerks concerning the voles to
bo cast for presidential electors. The
ballots ns printed in this county , nnd wo
presume in all ether counties , designate
two of Iho eight candidates on the elec
toral ticket of each party ns olectors-at-
large. The law rccogni/es no distinc
tion between president lul electors.
Lvery elector is voted for at largo and
must compels with every other elector
on the ticket. This much may ns well
bo understood at Iho outset to avoid controversy
trovorsy and confusion. The idea that
the two men at tlio head of onj ticket
are competing with the two men at the
head of the other ticket is a delusion.
Every elector Is running against every
ether elector on the ticket nnd the eight
persons designated as electors who receive -
coivo the highest vole will east the vole
of Nebraska for president.
Tin : supply of burglars and thugs in
this part of the country has for some
time past boon considerably in excess of
the demand , but It is pleasant to observe
that their number has diminished somo-
wliat by reason of the judicious use of
firearms on the part of their intended
victims. The housebreaker who wns
shot while In this net of entering a win
dow in ( Council ISliifls on l-'riday morning
happened lo have r.n unusually strong
sot of ribs and the bullet that was on Us
way to his vitals was turned aside , but
that alTords no encouragement to the
profession. Lot not the burglars puttee
too much faith in their ribs. The people
are not just now in the mood to submit
to robbery and the oITojtivo shooting
which they hnvo lately done ought to bo
seriously considered by these whoron-
template burglary.
O.VK ot the ox-contingent congressmen
of Nebraska , lion. Patrick O. Hawcs , is
very anxious to taorifico hlnibolf in the
noble cause by running at largo for the
position of contingent congressman for
the three months beginning in Decem
ber , IbDU , and ending with March ! ,
1MM , if the people will only vote for him.
At the present time Mr. O. Hawea is
obliged to cool his shins In the lobby ,
lllco any other outsider , but as a claim-
nnt to a soni in congress ho would hnvo
the privileges of the floor , with a possi
ble chance of getting his expenses paid ,
even if his claim to a seat is rejected ,
A COAL dculor in thU city made tiio
remark the ether day that the greed of
the anthracite combine had caused the
retail cotil merchants to bo almost
ostracised , many people supposing that
they were in somu sense interested In
the deal by which the robbery is carried
on. Of course there is no justice in
tills , The retail dealer would make as
much if not moro money if prices were
reasonable. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
WHY not run "Judge" JuliusS.Cooley
of Omaha as contingent congrcsstnnn-nt-
largo ? Cooley hns adamantine cheek ,
and If ho over gets into the house they
never would bo able to oust him except
by an order of the court.

M.vvuit Hr.Mix and Chairman Horlln
have issued an olllclal request addressed
to llio judires at.d clerks of election
which merits the attention of every
election olllcinl. With ISO names on
the ballots In Dotiglns county the count
will bo ii tedious ono and will consume
nt least forty-eight hours In many dis
tricts. The public will bo eager for the
result on president , governor and con
gressman , and if the clerks will respond
to the request of the mayor the people
will rise up and rail them blessed.

macadamizing the intersections of
streets and spaces opposite alloys. This
fund is essential for the completion ot
pnving already contemplated. It will
not only bo used In making necessary
public improvements , but it will , if
voted , glvo employment to many labor

Winx Henry Llvcsoy takes his place
