THIS FALISS KlKCTltX $ .
This is nn off year in state politics ,
Only thirteen out of the forty-four states
vlll hold state elections-namely : Iowa ,
Nohraskaj Kentucky , Maryland , Massahis
chusotts , Missouri , Now Jersey , New
York , Ohio , Pennsylvania , South Da
kota , Virginia nnd Wisconsin. But
five of thoHO Btntos Iowa , Massachu
setts , Ohio , Wisconsin and Virginia-
will elect full tickets. Kight states will
cheese judges or legislatures , nnd thrco
of the legislatures to bo chosen will elect
United States senators Iowa , Kentucky
nnd Virginia.
The greatest political interest will un
doubtedly cantor in Ohio , whore , more
than anyw'hero else , the contest will bo
made upon the tariff issuo. The repub
lican candidate In the Buckeye state ,
Governor McKInley , represents , per
haps , more completely than any other
man In the country , the policy of protec
tion as it is embodied in the tarilT that
bears his name , and opposed to * him is
Mr. Ncal , the author-of the plank in the
democratic national platform which
declares that protection is not only
fraud nnd robbery , but also that
it is unconstitutional. The light
in thnt Bttito will , therefore , bo
inado squarely upon this issue , and the
verdict of the voters of Ohio will exert
nn inlluenco national in its scopo. As
yet the calnpaign has not fully opened ,
but It will bo active within the next two
weeks , find so far as can bo judged from
the present indications the chances of
success are largely with the republicans.
Governor McKlnloy is a most able and
nggrc.ssivo leader of great personal pop
ularity. There is no serious factional
strife in the republican party tind the
only danger is in ovorconlldonco. After
Ohio the elections in Iowa , Wisconsin
and Massachusetts , all of which states ,
now have democratic governors , will
share about equally in the interest of
politicians. The outlook in Iowa i ? now
favorable to republican success. The
reasons for this have -already boon pre
sented in these columns and need not be
repeated. All that scorns necessary to
republican . -victory this year in the
Hawkeye state is thorough organization
and aggressive work National ques
tions will necessarily occupy the largest
amount of attention in the campaign ,
and upon these the republicans of Iowa
are in the majority. Wisconsin has
twice successively elected tv demo
cratic governor , and last year
gave its electoral vote to Cleveland -
land , who had a plurality of a little more
than 0,000. , It must ho regarded as an
uncertain state this year , with the
chances somewhat in favor of the demo
crats , who have the political machinery
of the state In thqir control , but it is by
no means to bo regarded as a foregone
conclusion that the democrats will win
there. Local influences which largely
contributed todomocraticsuccess during
the last four years will bo less potential
this year , while the general conditions
will have greater effect upon the minds
of voters. Massachusetts ought , to
elect the entire republican ticket
this year , because she is one of
the states most largely concerned
in preventing a revision of the tariff on
free trade lines. ' In the last two state
elections she has chosen a democratic
governor while electing republicans to
all the other state otllccs and u republi
can legislature. Last November she
gave Harrison a plurality of 20,000.
Massachusetts is a republican state be
yond question , but Governor Hussell ,
who lias boon twice elected , is a man of
extraordinary popularity , and if lie runs
again , as now seems assured , ho may bo
again elected. A great deal of political
interest will bo felt in Now York , which
elects both branches of the legislature
and nil the principal state olllcors
with the exception of governor.
The republicans are hopeful of carrying
the state , counting upon a reaction of
public sentiment by reason of the high
handed course of the democrats , at the
instigation of Senator Hill , in stealing
the upper branch of the last legislature ,
and of the purpose of the democratic
machine to nominate for justice of the
court of appeals the man who did the
bidding of Hill in the scheme for btoal-
Ing the state sonata. The democrats
are very strongly intrenched , however ' ,
in the Empire btato , while the republican
br
lican organization is not so thor
ough as to warrant absolute con-
Ildenco in the micccss of that
party. It is fortunate , in view
of the financial nnd business Hituation ,
that the public mind this year will not
bo altogether diverted from the consid
eration of practical affairs by the de
mands of politics , but there will bo quito
oTiough of the latter to maintain popular
interest in political affairs.

Advices from Washington toll us that
Congressman Mercer has heard of some
protests by the citizens of Omaha
against the continued presence of the
opinpuiites of Indian soldiers at the fort
iicin vhls city , and ho has rushed up to
the War department to request the HCC-
rctary to have thp Indians removed.
There has boon some agitation to secure
the ditibandmcnt of the Indian troops ,
and thia is [ > tnimbly another move orig
inating in the Biiniu qunrtm- make the
Indian odious to the department as a
means of bringing' it over to their side
of the question. They think , no doubt ,
that by making it hot for the Indian
wherever ho is located they can thus
cause the War department HO much
trouble that It will gladly saok rulluf by
discharging all the Indian soldiers ,
Whence those protects , people who
huvo boun living in Omaha right along , ,
are not informed. They have hoard
nothing if them , although a few resi
dents near the fort may have written site
Mr. Mercer complaining of depredations
in their orchards or burnyards. But the
lulIan | has boon no worse in this rospcot
than his white follow soldk > r . The bol-
diet-d have always caused ttoino incon-

and will continue to do so whether the

ACTIOX OP TIIK HAIl KKDOnSKD.
In appointing Judge Kdwnrd 11. Duffle
to the vacancy on the district bench
created by the resignation of Judge
Davis , Governor Crottnso has carried
out the recommendation of the great
body of attorneys who practice before
the bar of this district. This is n
fitting return of the compliment which
the bar paid to the judgment
of the governor in its unanimous en
dorsement of Judge Walton. It offers ,
moreover , a practical proof thnt Gov
ernor Crounso is in full accord with the
established usiigo of filling the bench of
this district- with n nonpartisan judl-
ciary.i Judge DufIo ! is to bo congratu
lated upon the opportunity thus afforded
him to show his capabilities as n trial
judge before the people tire called upon
to endorse him at the polls.
TUB 1KTKHKST OF I'KNalOyBns.
Under the present practice of the pen
sion olliec coi-tnin evidence and othoi-
papers deposited in that olllco by nn iip-
plitant for a pension nro practically
inncccssiblo to such applicant or his at
torney or rcprosontatlvOi and this rule
has caused a great ocal of well-founded
complaint. Of course it is not strictly
observed in all cases. Under snlTiclont
pressure the pension olllclals may per
mit nn Inspection of such papers
and oven lurnish a copy of them ,
but the rule permits thctn to exer
cise an arbitrary wilj in the matter and
this hai long boon regarded as a griev
ance which ought to bo remedied.
' Senator Mien of this state has intro
duced a bill , which is nmv in the hands
of the.committee on pensions , providing
thnt it "shall ho the right of any ap
plicant for a pension , his duly authorized
agent or attorney , or any 'senator or
representative in congress from any
state or district in which such applicant
shall reside , to personally inspect
and take or have furnished to
him exemplified copies of all
iillidavits , evidence , testimony , re
ports of examining s.urgcon'3 inspec
tors , the adjutant general of the United
States , or of any state , or any other
agent , person or representative of any
department or bureau thereof , and this
right shall in no manner bo denied or
evaded by the custodian of such afll-
davits , evidence , testimony or reports. "
The chat-go for such copies is not to
exceed 5 cents for every 100 words , in
cluding the attestation thereof. There
ought not to bo any objection to this ,
which proposes to give no undue privi
lege to applicants for pension , but will
enable them or these whom they may
authorize to represent them to know that
their applications and other papers are
in proper form and correct , and it is
presumed that no ono will question their
right to do this. The proposed legisla
tion would devolve additional work upon
the pension olllcc , but it would be paid
for this , so that the government would
not bo put to any additional expense.
There is another matter in the in
terest of pensioners which may per
tinently bo referred to in this connec
tion , and thnt is the recent order of the
commissioner of pensions changing and
modifying "the rule established a
short time ago regarding the * reexamination -
examination of cases under section
2 of the act of Juno 27 , 1890.
Under that rule pensions were suspended
in advance of
allowing pensioners a
hearing , a most anomalous and unjust
prooeeding , which was not approved
oven by northern democratic members
of congress. The secretary of the in
terior and the commissioner of pensions
defended their course on the ground
that it was instigated nnd approved by
President Cleveland ; but however this
may bo , the widespread expression of
indignation at so extraordinary a policy ,
which practically declared a pensioner
guilty without the ovi'denco , had its
effect , and hereafter pensioners will not
bo dropped from the rolls without a
hearing. In every case of the suspen
sion or reduction of the pension the pen
sioner will have sixty days in which to
show his right to the pension ho is re
ceiving.
Everybody , including the honest vet
erans themselves , desires that the pen
sion rolls shall ho purged of tlioso who
are not entitled to the bounty of the
government but the demand is equally
general tlmt this work shall bo done
fairly , so that no one who has a just
claim to a pension shall bo denied it.
AN OCCASIONAL glimmer of common
sense * will crop out in oven such n con
firmed old I'mtist as Allen Root. It tils
not Allen's fault , however , and ho must
OH
the bane and poison that is killing the
populist party is u multiplicity ol candi
dates , Allen struck nearer the truth
than lie imagined. If there Is any one
among the local populists who docs not
expect to run for some ofilco within the
gift of the' pcoplo ho 1ms as yet failed to
declare hiuifelf. Mostof the recruits in
this vicinity have boon secured simply
iyo
because they have been led to believe
that the chances of attaining public
olllce might be buttered by the change
in politics , Many of them have boon
Booking ofilco at the hands of the other
parties all tholr lives and now they
intend to continue the search in the
ranks of the populists. But the local
populists are between two horns of ala
dilemma. A multiplicity of candidates
is killing the party , and if the party
trios to head oil the multiplicity of can-
didutos it will kill iUolf.
AN ACT passed by the last legislature
of the state of Now
York provided for
the appointment of two agents to BCUUI-O
for the counties which
had boon defray
ing the expenses oJ supporting the in
sane in their districts u rolmbiirsomont
of the money paid out , in whole or in
part , in all cases whore relatives or
friends wore liable therefor. It is desired -
sired to have thcbo accounts Bottled be -
fore the now btututo , which places the
euro of all dependent Insane persons in
the hands oft the state without county
intervention , goes into effect next Octo
ber , and under which it is expected that
no one whoso duty JV Is to defray the
cost of inalnlcntriutt will bo nblo to
uvohl his proper ujifYrlbutton. The in
vestigations of thfl-ihgonts referred to
have confirmed Uifo impression thnt
thfcro wore many jj&rsons legally liable
who wore ovadlnpf Uio bin-don of sup
porting insnno relatives. The prnctico
not only results in flu justice to the tnx-
paj'ora , but also In'VrtHoing many of the
harmless insane $ $ ntato institutions
for the very purpo&oiOf shifting the bur
den of their support 'upon thb public in
general , According , } ! ) the reports there
are now 400 inmates of Btato hospitals
for whoso support reimbursement is
being irmdo to county officials , nnd the
work of thcso , agents is expected to
double this number. This condition of
affairs cannot bo confined to the limits
of any 0110 stale , and it is highly prob
able that the people of other localities
are bolug imposed upon in n like mannon ]
The success of the Now York statute
ought id commend it to legislatures
throughout the union.
Tun newspapers of Chicago nro right
in line with llioir local movement for n
nonpartlsnn jtidicinvy. Even the Chicago
Times , the organ of Mayor Harrison ,
goes far enough to say this much : "Cook
county will not have upon the bench
men of low aims and mall attainments ,
It wants mon of high character , of industry - -
dustry , of intelligence , nnd , nbovo all , of
integrity , and if u democratic ticket is
not from first to last worthy of support
it will be without support. "
A UTTM3 placard on railway ticket
oflice can create considerable commotion
in railway circles. Perhaps it would
have been equally profitable for the
other roads to have motstlmt $12.75 rate
to Chicago instead of having it rescinded.
Yns. the rate is the thing. When the
schema to risk the lives of thousands of
school children at the World's ' fair falls
through It will bo convenient to blame
the failure to the refusal Of the railroads
to make a favorable rate.
WHAT'S in an "if ? " Any ono will
promise to go to Chicago "if a proper
railroad rate can bo secured , " provided ,
of course , that ho remains the judge of
what is a proper rate.

A Common .SoiiHo Vie r.
FttUerton J\'ew .
The views of Mr. IJosowater on Union Pa-
clllc affairs have a vast , deal of practical
common sunso in thorn that sbould commend
them to every citizen of Nebraska. Tlio
Union Pacific railroad system is decidedly in
a bole , iliiaucially , out of which it cannot pos
sibly emerge unaided. Just think of a road
attempting to keep itself out of the hands
of the sheriff that Is loaded down with nn
indebtedness < > f 5110,000 per mile. And that
is what tbo Union Paoillc main line between
Omaha and Ogdun is. The government has
hail the bcnollt accruing from the carrying
of the mail , the transportation of troops ,
baggage , rations , otc. , amounting to millions
of dollars ; has the advantaro of Increased
valuations , and ccrtaluly It would not bo an
undue discrimination against the pcoplo of
the whole country if , for the Interest of
Nebraska , Kansas , Colorado and Wyoming
the government would cancel the entire
dobt. Wo would favor such action if the
government would condition its action on a
contract that the cancellation should for
ever seeuro a reduction on all kinds of
traffic based on the reduced valuation and
costs of managements. If Uio costs of doing
business with thu ro.ids were TOduced by n
percentage based on the cancellation of the
f51,000KK ( ) which it owes the government it
would inivlci ) a difference of many thousands
of dollars ' to the people of Nebraska in a
single ye'ar. Otherwise , as Mr. Kosowutor
says , "tho funding of the Union P.iclllc debt
simply means that the people west of ttio
Missouri , who bear ho brunt of the burden ,
are to be taxed for several generations to
pay the interest on the mortgage , and finally
of the principal. " Tlio.puojilu of the west
ought to Htiind togethoty-and work as 0110
uian fur thu accomplishment of this result.

It would bo folly fap , the United States
government to attempt to protect its claim
against the Union P.iclUo Uatlroad company
by paving off thu nrjornludobteduoss , The
bonded debt on the main line is H ,000,000 ,
and the mortgairois 11.000,000 , making in all
$07,000,000. There Ujot.iui-stlon | | that if the
government wantcdtji railroad whcro the

an Indebtedness uifirt * in proi > ortion to

government has already lost enough on this
line , without making any further "invest
ments" in thn same lino. The road wns an
absolute necessity at the time it wns built ,
and it was a wlsu thlmj for thu government
to givu it buatclcnt aid to secure its con
struction. As a financial investment it was
not a success , but the advantage to the pub
lic has been very great in uniting the remote -
mete sections of the continent and develop-

fame , nnd who Is now playing the role of
companion for n tlmo to the wnrdcn of the
state penitentiary , has evolved n plan m the
columns of nn Uiimha paper whereby the
effects of the existing mono.v stringency may
be In n measure overcome nud business may
bo lured luck to Its normal conditions. If
Mr. Moshtr can elucidate u plan whereby
the state of Nebraska may recover its glim
mering dcK | > slt , nnd whereby the poor nnd
needy depositors of his defunct bank may bo
paid in full , It will not bo received with that
"large-sl/ed reticence" which scoui to attend

Some ono up In Omaha must bo kicking on
the comforts afforded Charley Moshcr , as
the Douglas county sheriff has felt called
upon to square hlmsolf by saying thnt thu
United States authorities hnvu oxuluslvu
control over the person of the man ' -who has
been sentenced to live years hard labor in
the United States prison. " Sheriff Uennott
explains thnt , as Moshcr was sent to him
from the United States court , ho has
nothing to do but follow out thu In
structions o' thu oillcera of thnt tribunal ,
which ho says ho has douo to the letter.
And so it scums that United States Marshal
Win to is carrying out the work so well begun
by.Tndgo Uundyand Uuitud Status District
Attorney Uakur. AVho can point out the
snbtlo inlluenco thnt Is shielding Mosher
from his deserts , which leads a court that
was compelled by the pressure of public son-
tlmnut to pronounce sentence of impiison-
mcnt ( to adopt every snbturfugo , reasonable
or otherwise , for keeping the condemned ns
long as possible out of the prison to which
ha has been condomcd. Is it not another
ilacrant Instance of "Iho public bo d < t ? "

The board of transportation in its answer
to the application of the L/nlon / Pacific to
restrain the putting into effect of the max
imum rate bill sets out that members of the
board have no definite and positive knowl
edge as to the earnings of the Union Pacific
system in Nebraska for the year Ib92 , nnd
have no dcilnitu knowledge ns to the amount
of operating expenses , taxes , rent , etc. , for
thnt year , but they allege that in anticipa
tion of the passage of the maximum ratu
bill the company purchased an unusually
largo amount , of rolling stock nnd in
vested ! nu extraordinary sum in re
pairs | and improvements , with n view
of making it appear that the operat
ing expenses of the road wcro largo , and
that small dividends would bo paid on
stock. Besides , it would have the effect o ;
discouraging Uncle Sam ( who put UD the
money to build thoroad ) if ho should bo in
clined to refuse n further extension of its
debt , upon which lie only holds a second
mortgage. The answer further alleges that
it has been the policy of the company at all
times to uiuko A low through rate and charge
an unreasonable and unjust local rate upon
shipments originating and terminating
within the state , nud thnt the same applies
to passenger tr.ifllc in thnt the lo.-al Iranlc is
charged high to support the through travel.
Thu state board ( which has heretofore
been nothing but nu nnuox of the railroads )
