elected , no doubt. But a contest for
their Boats would bo no more nonsensi
cal than is tbo contest instituted by de
feated democrats.

hut sugitr planters nil ever Louisiana.
\ro showering letters upon Mr. CIovo-
and nnd the democratic loaders of con *
rrcss demanding that the sugar bounty
> o abolished nnd that dttty on sugar
)0 restored in a modified form. A strong
lologatlon Is to bo sent to Washington
> y the Louisiana Sugar Planters asso
ciation to urge such legislation. It is
stilted that 600,000 parsons are depend
ent upon the sugar Industry in thalstato
and that the planters there aoll 825 000-
100 wortli each year , and for this reason
hey claim that their wishes should
mvo some wolght. This is true enough ,
> ut the ground upon which the abolition
if Iho bounty is demanded is not good.
Tito planters assort that the duty was
ibollshod and the bounty adopted by
the republicans in order to damage a
lomoerntio sou thorn agricultural inter
est and help tbo republican and north
ern manufacturers who wanted free
sugar. .
It Acorns to bo impossible for the
southern democrat ? to consider any
q'uestion of-national policy np.irt from
lolillcul ptl'lio uiship. There is no
nero foundation for the claim that the
sugar bounty was intended to benclit re
publicans at the expense of democrats
/nan there in for Iho assumption on the
jiart of thn Louisiana , planters that the
, arilT which they propose would bo more
icnoficinl to tiiom than the bounty , for
they s iy tint they nro willing to accept
i duty as low as 1 } cents n pound. It
would bo uiironsoimblo to suppose that
thousands of pHntors in Louisiana are
uniting in this movement , atr.iinst the

they think that It ia wrong in principle.
That is the motive which they profess.
DUt the profession does not commend
itself lo tlio intotlleonco of those who
ttiko account of the fact that the men
who malco it are engaged in the sugar
Imsinos. * . It is hatdly to bo btipposod
that they are as disiiUoi-oslodly de
voted lo principle as they pretend to bo ,

adopted for the purpose of giving north
ern republicans an advantage * ever

art1 not.
Whatever the scheme of the southern
pi an tors mny bo they will certainly
have , unfortunately for the country , a
great dc.il of ipllucnco with thu next con-
prct-s. I lib not easy to see how this sub
ject can be i cgardcd as a political or a
sectional one , but perhaps they C'tn mttko
( i appear so. Are all the sugar relincrs
ol llio north republicans ? Doubtless a
majority of them are , but so are a m ijor-
ity of all minufacturors. The fact has
nothing to do with the sugar bounty in
any event
Tlio interest of Nebraska in this sub
ject is naturally great oa account of her
sugar beet industry , but tbero is neither
politics nor sectionalism in her attitude
upon the bounty question. We believe
that the bounty is a good thin , ; for the
people and that it should bo allowed to
htutul. Without it thu boot sugar
industry could not suci-oea. What
it has done for Gc miny and
Franco and is now doing for
the bsot s'ig.ir bubjness of the
went proves that it is too useful
a mc.ismc to bo abandoned. Not oulv
does this htato need the national aid
thus a To-do 1 to the producers of beols
and sug.ir , but it also needs and .should
have a restoration of iho state bounty.
It is a duty which the legislature owes
to llio farmers and hugar m.iKcrs of
Nebraska to rcsto-o the bounty in such
form as may seem wisest , to the end that
an industry of great Importance to our
people may be fostered and promoted.
This should bo done without regard to
the action of congress concerning tlio
national bounty. A grott. deal has
lately been said about "standing up for
NobraskiL _ " It is no idle phrase. It
moans a great deal , as in vy o.isily bo
soon by observing the results which this
policy has already produead through
the operations of what is known as the
homo patronage movement. 13 .courage-
montof tbo boot sugar industry is ex
actly in line with that policy.

Tlio American people have a moro
than pissing interest in the French
cabinet crisl1 ! , for tbo reason th.vt the
FOUITO of the ditliculty involvojan inter
national question tint may bring this
government and that of Franco into
controversy. The Panama c in il sc in-
dal , HbHiich , concerns only I'V.iaco , but
the United States has treaty rights in
the Isthmus of Panama which are nnn-
accd , and it therefore bsconas an intor-
cstiptr question as to how far thusi
rights may bj onda-ijjoroJ in the evout
of a prolonged pDliti2.il crisis in Franca.
As long ago ns 1810 HUH government ne
gotiated a treaty with the Republic of
Now Granada that secured to American
citi/.ons cortiin rights and pi-lvllogos
on equal terms with the people of the
republic in the isthmus. Undar this
convention whatever rates , rights or
privileges are granted to citi/.jnj of
Now Granada in connection with the
working of the Pan.ima c.iu.il o innot bo
denied to clt'uons of the United States.
Several times this country has sent
tronps to the isthmus to enforce its right
to free tratuit.
In J81 ! ) the Panama railroad was char
tered by the bt ito of N\JW York , audit
was constructed by American capital
and managed by Americans. In 1S37 ,
Columbia having succoadod to the
rights ot Now Grnmid i , a now contract
wns obtained extending Uu charter for
ninety-nine years Thirteen years
nftor , in 18S1. the Froneh promoters of
tlio Panama canal got possession of the
railroad , and the French receiver of the
cutml company now proposes to dls/ro-
gurd the treaty and contract rights of
American eltizans and to discriminate
against thorn in a way that would prove
seriously damaging lo their interests.
It is now apparent that n serious mis
take was made In allowing the r.allroad
to pass into foreign control , but this will
not prevent the govurninont of the
United States from assorting tha lights
secured by treaty , and it is understood
that the president will call the ntten
tion of congress to iho matter in his
forthcoming message.
It is this state of facts that gives to
the ministerial crisis in Franco whatever -
over Blginflouieo it posjosios fou tlio
Auie'rican people. If it should result lu
n very serious political upheaval , and
his cannot bo regarded ns by any moans
mprolmolo , tlio olToct might bo to at
oust embarrass the United States in
enforcing its rights , since In such cir
cumstances this government would
irobably hcsltato to tnko extreme
noasuros. As to the situation in Franco
t is manifestly serious. Not since iho
light ot Boulangcr has the popular ex
citement boon so great and evidence of
ho intense feo'ing in parl'amentary
circles is scon in the enormous majority
vhloh voted against Iho mlnlstrv in the
Chamber of Deputies. It is bo loved
hat the crisis will bo long and it m iy
cntiso a greater strain to republican iu-
tltutlons in Franco than they hnvo ox-
lorlonccd since the present form of
[ ovoriimont was instituted twenty-two
'oars ' aco. A loading radical paper a
ow days ago dcclnrod that if a P'-O-
ender were to present himself in Paris
iropared to take up the inheritance of
.ho . republic a splendid opportunity
vould olTcr. Perhaps this is not to bo
akon seriously , but it Indicates thu
nonsuro ot the disturbance in Froneh
wlitirs. The formation of a now mlii-
stry is likely to 1)3 a very dllllcult task ,
and any that mny bo formed will prOba-
) ly be sOiort-Hvod. Meanwhile the In-
lications arc that in probing the Pan
ama canal scandal , if that bo thoroughly
lono. the i evolutions will leave a stnin
on many characters now held to bo
ibove reproach , as did "tho Credit
dobcllor disclosures of twenty years ago

For a number of years the Dominion
of Canada has not boon making progress.
Vlthongh strenuous efforts have boon
made to increase tbo population by on
cottrrtging immigration it has not. grown
Cvery year has witnessed the exodus tc
tlio United Slates of largo numbers of
native Canadians and very few of tlio
mmigrants who wo.-o induced to como
.0 . the country have remained there.
Neither in its internal trade nor its foreign -
oign commerce has there boon any
muked growth. 'Iho policy adopted
or building up the former , prompted
argely by a spirit of hostility to the
.lulled States , has not been successful ,
ind alterants to extend tmdo with
other countries have generally not had
s tlisfactory rosults. Neither tho. far-
ncrs nor the manufacturers have been
irosnurulis nntl there has b3cu little in
centive to enterprise in any direction.
Meanwhile the national debt has in-
sroascd and taxes have grown with it.
Popular dissatisfaction has also boon
steadily gaining in volume ant1 force.
The late premier. Sir John A. Abbott ,
a man ot ability and experience in pub
ic affairs , wns expected to provide a
remedy for the conditions that were
opji'ating against the progress and
prosperity of the Dominion. lie failed
to do ao. Abbott has boon succeeded by
S'r John Thompson , who has boon long
in public life and is a man of ability.
The policy of iho new premier has boon
outlined by an organ of the government
nnd it does not promise tiny im
provement upon that of his predecessor.
Its cent-al idea appears to be to antag
onize iho United States. Ho" proposes ,
accoidinc to the o-gan , to strengthen
tbo policy of protection , which a trial of
a do/en years has shown to bo prac
tically worthless for Canada. If lie
takes this course it involves the neces
sity of giving up all expectation of en
tering into any broad and eomprohon-
bivo scheme of reciprocity with this
country , for a democratic congress and
administration will hardly venture to
make an arrangement which would
leave American manufacturers subject
to the tin esiricted operation of
a Canadian Infill while subject
ing our farmers to the free com
petition in the home market of thn agri
cultural producers of thn 1) minion. It
is uoubtlees eminently patriotic todcsiro
to give Canada a national character she
has never yet oijoyed , but it is not wise
orni'ogressivostiitomansliip to adhere to
policies which it has been most conclu
sively shown cannot raise the country to
the desired position. The purpose of Sir
Join Thompson to do this assures his
failure.
The people of the United Stitos tike

They are not largely in sympathy with

it isfc very oisytu allege fraud in an
election , but an entirely dilTjront tMng
lo p-ovo It. There may have boon some
slight iri-ogulai-Uie3 in the InBt county
election , duo to ignoranoj of a compll-
cited system of voting. Tbero lias
probibly b-jon uo election entirely free
from minor irregularities of ono kind or
another. I-Jut to assume that any"such
bhoi'tcomlngs in the last cloctinn will
amount to a reversal of the olllulal count
in Douglas county is ridiculous.
Immediately after the olcetloa there
was some tall of fraud , but it wasohiellj
Indulged in by defeated candidates and
"very lltt'o ' attention was paid to it.
Such talk is he.vid after every election
It is lutru for any man to believe that
adverse figures are coriect , and wlion
the vote is close the defeated man in
variably suspects or alleges fraud.
It is Known of all men that the elec
tion in Douglas county was quiet ant
orderly throughout. The mon ap
pointed upon the election boards were
in the main acceptable and so much
bettor than tiiosa appointed under the
last democratic administration that
there is no room for compirlson ,
The allegation that the miyor , the
board of county commissioners and the
county cleric were parties to any fraut ]
or attempted fraud in the recent oleo-
tlon is preposterous. The outrageous
charges against those ofllctnls will bo
repudiated by every fnlr-mlndod voter.
Republicans have llttlo to fear from
ho contest that has boon Instituted in
, his county. They certainly will not
object to any investigation the contest
ants may want to make. It is perfectly
safe to predict that the proposed contest
f pushed tea conclusion will roalllrm the
ofllclal count.
It is not surprising that criticism of
the Australian j ballot system should
cmannti froinTnmmany sources in Now
York City , but wo think that the Smi
nukes too much of the ballot muddle in
Massachusetts and lee readily accepts it
as an example of what may bo expected
under this method of votuiir. After re
citing the points in tlio controversy us
to the vote for governor in that state
, ho SIMI says that "tho hollowncss , fttlil-
ty and absurdity of the who'e ' cross
mark system' ' Is shown by the fact that
it the recent election blank votes were
cast as follows : On governor , 19,1(50 ( ; on
loutonant governor , : ! 2OJ5 ; o-i troas-
iror , ; tOU7 ! ) ; on secretary ot state , 10-
! ! M. "What sort of an electoral system
s it , " asks that piper , "which , in an
mporlant presidential election , and , as
Governor Htissoll points out , at the sev
enth or eighth trial ot the Australian
system , from 20,000 to10,000 sovorolg.i
American electors nro so enmeshed in
the intricacies of legal technicality that
their votes count as blank , and they are
practically disfranchised ? "
It is natural to assume that there
mist bo something wrong about a sys
tem of voting that produces such results
sults , and yet' it scorns incredible Unit
gnoranco and stupidity can nnywhoro
) o so provnlont as to render the Aus
tralian ballot an unfathomable mystery
, o so great a number of voters. Massa
chusetts people are generally supposed
to bo nearly , if not quite , up to the
ivorago in intelligence , but if so many
ot her electors wished to vote for Iho
various candidates for the olllcos named
and did not accomplish their purpose
because they wore "omoshcd iu the in-r
tricacios of lopra'l technicality , " they
nttst have a good manvdull pjople in
the old n iy stato. Nebraska voters llko
.ho Australian ballot system and have
10 trouble with it. It has been iu use
lore only two years , and yet the last
election in this state was singularly
smooth and perfect in every way. Are
the citizens of Nebraska so vastly
superior to those of Massachusetts in
nlulliganco ? That the percentage of
illiteracy is romxrkably small in this
state is well known , but it is novorthe-
ess surprising that Mass ichnsetts.
oavcned with the unapproachable cul
ture of Boston , sh.ould bo totally unable
'o comprehend a ballot system that is
grasped with facility by Nebraska is
simply astonishing.
Tin : opinion isc/xprossod by Dakota sci
entists , according tea dispatch from No v
York to iho St. Louts Globe-Democrat ,
that tno Missouri river is drying up. The
volume of water is said to bo gradually
decreasing , and the scientists referred
to alllrm their bajiiif that this is duo to
the fact that mat artesian wells have
been sunk in thn Dakotas. This , it
seems to us , is very important , if true.
Tlio idea that those wells are diminish
ing the volume of water in our noble
river is scoutedj y Bomo unscientific
people whose hoiuuPon the river bottom
wore inundated last fipt-ing , but their
opinions do not count for much iu com
parison with that of the scientific
sharps of the Dakotas. It is a serious
question whether the farmer has a legal
ritrht to bora artesian wells , and thus
rob the Missouri river of its sou'-cos ot
supply. The wells ought to bo plugged
up immediately , nnd ihose who own
thorn should bo compelled to make suit
able roslitu tion for the water they have
stolen.
Tim international monetary conference
once has settled down to serious busi
ness. Three plans dealing with the
silver problem hnvo been submitted to
it and referred to a committee to report
on them. It is said to be probable that
the scheme suggested by Rothschild , of
tlio B-itlhh delegation , will bo accepted
by the committee , with homo modifica
tions , nnd referred to the general body.
TliU ulan falls far short of what llio
radical Dime tnllisls' desire , but it has a
good deal of merit as u compromise , nnd
if adoptea would undoubtedly bring
silver anil gold nearer together , though
it would not bunply a complete solution
of the problem of maintaining the two
metals at a pa-ity. Tlio ropn-t that the
Aino 'lean delegates are dlspjjod to ac-
ojpc the Rithsohild plan on the ground
that "h lit. a loaf is bettor than no
b. ead" is probably premature.
Tun farmers of Iowa probably are not

The Boyd counly legislative contot Is as-

Kanlyed territory , It will put them in control

Alfred do Uothschlld'd proposition lo thn
intcrnnllonal monetary eonfeionco nt Hruv
sols nnt iccallod tha fnct that bo nnd other
well known members of llio great banking
house of do lioihschlld have been frequent
visitor * to Washington. It Is thought , more
over , thai sotiio of tticso visits hnvo given
thn Koihschllds nn Insight into the course of
financial legislation In this country , which
has hud much to do with the present propo
sition.
Only two months ago Henry do Uothschllti ,
with his vnlot Corler and a small rotinno of
nUom1anti , wns at ono of the uptown hotels
for several dnys. Ho Is llio 1'arls
member of the UalhschlUls homo. At
tlio tlmo of his visit Soi-rol'iry
hosier was making final arrangements
for llio international monetary conforenco.
Last spring another member of the family
and It Is thought to have boon ono who Is
now prominent In tlio ISrus&uU conference
was In Washington for somu days. It hap
pened ot a tlmo whim the liouso wns In a
turmoil over the Uland silver bill and Mr. do
Uolhschlld showed much Interest in iho con
troversy. In an intorvlow ho stated thnt his
Interest wns not so much duo to what Mr ,
Hlnml might or might not do but it was
from curiosity ever the exoltomont which
could uo aroused In Amentia on a llnancial
question which Europe know nothing about.
Mr. do Kolhschlld Iro.itcd Iho congressional
turmoil vcay lightly from his expressions nt
tlio tlmo. it is judcotl lhat ho uus changed
his mind eonsldcdarly us lo iho
importance of coiu-ertod notion among
llio great llnancial powers. Several times
prior lo last spring various member * of Iho
Uolhschlld lamlly have boon hero , al
though their visits have always been ns
sightseers rather than us llnanciurs. At the
Treasury ilepirtmnnt tod.w there was much
satisfaction over the news from Brussels. It
lirs boon foaroil that the cntiru conference
would colUpJO without any Ihlng I'urlbortliau
Iho oxproisior. of Iho wishes of tbo American
delegates. Tno proposition of do Uolhschild
is nt least nh assurance tuat thu loading
llnanclars of Kuropu are troutlnir the confer
ence with sciiiiusnass. U U not expected
hero that nnv dollnlto results will bo secured ,
as It Is pointed out that uu agreement would
havu to bo submitlod to Iho various po\\OM
and Hint many monibi and probably ycnis ,
would inlotvono before Iho agreement could
secure the sanction of thu countries repro-
sensed , but It is expcctop thit stops will bo
begun which will llr.ally load to an inlcrnu-

Secretary Elitlns in his ofllclal capacity
promises to become a conspicuous llguro in
the Panama canal proceedings whereby
American tntorosts are so beriomly jeopar
dized. Secretary Elklns' atlcntion was Iho
other day directed to lUo fact that General
John Newton , who is president of the
Panama Kailroid company , is a major gen
eral on the retired list of the United States
army. The Panama Uallroad company was
organized under the laws of Now York and
dvon a charter which guaranlccd Ibat the
enterprise should always bo conlrollcd by
American siockholders. The company
passed almost entirely Into French hands ,
but General Newton has remained as presi
dent nnd has regularly drawn both th'o sal
aries of a retired United Slates army oflicer
and of the president of n railroad company ,
which only awaitod'tbo expiration of its ion-
tract obligations to immediately atta'clc
American interests.
As soon as Secretory Elklns1 attention wns
drawn lo this state of affairs Uo recognized
that Genoinl Nowlon was occupying a com
mercial position inconsistent with the spirit
ol his military position and inimical to the
mlciosts of the American government undoi-
whosn ilag ho Is still enrolled binco officers
on thu.retired list , are considered by tno
\Vardoporltnentns being still in the sorvlco
of the country. Ills stated that Secretary
Elkius , In vlow of General Newton's anomal
ous position , has nddrosscd hm n letter In
which , after directing his attention to the
inconsistency ot his two salaried oflicos , Uo
has suggested to him by intimation , at least ,
tbo propriety of resigning ono position or the
otnor. There Is conslderaolo indicnatlon
hero ever the action ol Ganoral Newton ,
especially since tne American stockholders'
of the Panama railroad have buon misled in
the doallnes and the government has Boon so
grossly Irealod , and If bo does not got out of
his place voluntarily it is Intelv that pro-
clpituto notion will put him out of the army.
Congress is almost ( .uro to take the Panama
question in hand and deal with It vigorously
Irom nn American standpoint.
