It wns within the power of the people's
party to do the gnxcofill and the graludil
thlnt ? by rising nbovo partisan bias and
elevating the standard of nonpartlsan-
ship in the jtidioinr.Vi It was manifestly
the duty of the convention to supplement
the gallant light against boodlcrlsm and
corporation rule made last winter by the
legislature by endorsing for the people's
BtilTrngcs that honest tiud fearless ox-
ponnnt of the laxv , damuol Mnvwoll.
Dut perhaps this was tu9 much tooxpcot
from delegates whoso y.oal for populist
conquest outweighs all other considera
tions. 'Jho ? clamor for a straight party
nomination was started in the intorcstof
the candidate satisfactory to the rail
road managers. To the credit of the
populist parly the convention refused to
bo stampeded or decoyed into an en
dorsement of an ox-railroad lobbyist.
In nomiualiiiff Silas A. Holcomb the
popnlHU haVe placed at the head of
their ticket a man whoso roourtl , so far
as wo can learn , is unsullied and whoso
career has boert'froe from nil dlsroputa-
bio cntanglumont with corporations or
boodlors. It must bo a source of grati
fication to citizens of Nebraska , regardless -
loss of party , that the populists have
chosen a man as their candidate for the
supreme bench wh'o , If elected , will not
dlHgrace the state and lower that high
tribunal In the popular respect by in-
competency and a lack of integrity.
If the republican state convention
does its duty by endorsing Judge Max
well for ro-oloctlon the campaign of
18011 will not have to bo n repetition of
the campaign of 1891 , when the populists
sought to force upon the supreme bench
a man utterly unfit for any judicial
position. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THK I'Jl'UfjlUT I'bATFOllM.
The platform and resolutions adopted
by the populist atato convention deals
with almost every issue and question of
public policy , and attempt to suggest a
remedy for every ill from which the
country at largo ana the people of Ne
braska are BUtforing. S'iino of those
proposed ro forma nro sound and some
are moro catchpenny vagaries. The
convention rcalllrms the Omaha na
tional platform of 18)2 ! ) , which was
like a patchwork quilt , gotten
up to meet the peculiar isms ad
vocated by the old-lino groonbackors ,
the free coinage bulltonairos , the Henry
Oeorgo single tax moa , the E.lward
Bellamy socialists and the other vision
aries who participated in the Fourth of
July convention. It may bo presumed
that every populist convention from now
on until 18i ! ) > will ruufllrm the Omaha
platform , even if wo should have free
and unlimited coinage of silver or should
establish it now ratio.
The convention reiterates the Omaha
silver plank by a special resolution de
manding frco coinage at the ratio of 10
to 1 and nothing else , although it is
manliest that the divorgcnca between
the two metals makes it utterly impossi
ble to maintain a ratio of loss than 20 to
1 , which , as a matter of fact , would still
make silver mining very profitable.
The platform endorses a service pension -
sion , regardless of rank , upon proof of
honorable discharge. This is practi
cally in accord with the demands of the
last republican state convention , which
many patriotic veterans do not approve
for the reason that it tends * to degrade
the volunteer union soldier to the con
dition of a mercenary. A pension f in
dependent veterans is poi fcctly proper ,
but a man who came homo from the war
without a scratch , continues in good
health and is able to take care of him
self , ought to scorn n pension as a re
flection upon his patriotism.
The platform demands absolute own
ership and control of all railroads , telegraphs -
graphs and telephones by the govern
ment. In this the populldts seek moro
than can possibly bo attained under
prcbont conditions. The purchase of
the telegraph lines and telephone sys
tems is within rcaqh. Tan BEE has
advocated the postal telegraph for moro
than twenty years and will continue to
do so until it is an accomplished fact.
To buy and operate the 105,000 miles
of railroad in the United States that
are now capitalized for more than ten
billions of dollars and to employ an army
of 700,000 men would bo a stupendous
undertaking. It would pltmgo this
country into a colossal debt and require
the recasting of the entire machinery
of government. If the populists y-f&
content with demanding strh' ljflvorn-
mont regulation and crs.ul of public
carriers , by whi' j * ho abuses from
which the po riro sulToring would bo
abolished , .Tfcir demand would bo
secocyVu by the great moss of our
p pio. If they were further to demand
stock watering should cease and
that railroad tolls should be determined
upon a basis of actual investment and
cost of service the proposition would bo
moro rational.
The plank relating to the separation
of church and ntato and the exclu
sion of religious intolerance from
the domain of politics will moot the ap
proval of all classes of citizens who
doslro to uphold the cardinal principles
of the declaration of Independence. The
donunciatian of the republican ntato ad
ministration , coupled with the charge
that the v > * ovs were intentionally deceived -
coivod ci nco.-nlng the alleged Issue of
$700,000 in warrants , is altogether too
swooping , ai is also the coimuro of all the
state onicor.s from the governor down ,
concerning the defalcation * of Mushcr
and the Capital National bank swindle.
Nobody has been moro ottts.jjkon than
thU paper in relation to o irrupt prac
tices in the state house , but the conven
tion rihmhl have separated the black
bhi op from thu white.
The dumand for the strict enforce
ment of the maximum freight rate law
and the demand for the abolition of the
expensive and worthies ? railroad
mission are right and timely , The law
should have had a fair trial boforn it
was hung tip.in court , and if it is found
to operate unjustly , thu rodrusti is pro
vided for in the lawJtsolf. |
The resolution demanding the alull-
tion of contract convict labor does n H go
fur enough. The contract fraudulently
made with -Moshor should bo an
nulled and the state should resume
control of the penitentiary. The demand
for the npoocly and vlgorous'prosecuilon
of the rogues who plundered the statn in
the asylums and lu thu cull house cou-
trnot will moot the hearty approval of all
good cltlKons who doslro to sco the stnto
purged. The demand that the ntato
treasurer shall comply with the law re
quiring the investment of state funds is
also eminently proper. The law should
bo enforced , and if it la shown to bo bad
It will bo repealed.
The resolution commending the
course pursued by the independ
ents in the last legislature
Is proper enough , but the conven
tion should have shown itself broad
enough to have recognized the services
of the hono.st democrats ami republicans
without whoso aid the indopcndcnts
would have failed to enact any com
mendable legislation. The resolution
denouncing pass bribery and demanding
that n't populist candidate or ofllcor
shall nccopt a railroad pass strikes the
right chord in the direction of political
reform , The pass system has ( lotto moro
to demoralize Nebraska politics than all
other pernicious agencies.
On the whole , the platform ombndios
many points responsive to public senti
ment and is in most mutters in harmony
with the demands of the producers.
TUB 101IM I'OI.ITIOAL HIDE
The so-called citizens' mqvomont in
Iowa in the Interest of prohibition does
not start out with the promise of
amounting to much. It is sttggostivo of
the throe tailors of Tooloy street. The
convention held nt Dos Molnos Tuesday
was insignificant as to numbers and the
influence of its manifesto will bo in pro
portion to the representative strength
of tlu body that sent It out. It is strik
ing evidence of the decline of sentiment
in favor of prohibition us a state policy
that only about ISO individuals
could bo got together in a con
vention as representatives of that
sentiment , the larger proportion
of these having always been members of
the prohibition party.
The declarations of those people will
have no weight with intelligent and un
prejudiced men who are familiar with
the history of the prohibition experi
ment in Iowa. In no other state that
has tried this policy lias its failure boon
more complete , and to claim that it .has
accomplished any good purpose that
might not have boon as well or bettor
secured under a system of high license
and local option ib to ignore the most
indisputable facts. Everybody who
has taken the trouble to Inquire into the
working of prohibition in Iowa knows
that it has been practically inoperative
everywhere except in localities whore
the public sentiment is overwhelmingly
in favor of it. There has not boon a time
since the prohibition law was enacted
that intoxicating liquors could not bo
obtained , to bo drank as a beverage , in
any of the cities and most of the larger
towns of Iowa. In some of these places
it has been for years , if not all the time ,
openly sold , while in ethers the tralllc
has been carried on surreptitiously. Not
only did the communities in which the
law has boon persistently set at nought
get no return from the traffic , as they
would under a , high license system , but
the people of ho entire . etato-havo boon
taxed to maintain a force of spies and in
formers , whose arbitrary methods and
corrupt practices were a reproach to the
state.
All the plans and devices which the
ingenuity of the supporters of prohibi
tion could find for enforcing the law
have boon applied without success
whorovcr public sentiment was not over
whelmingly in its favor , and while the
law thus failed of its purpose under con
ditions which would have insured success ,
If success had boon possible , the elTect
of fuiluro was to crcato contempt
for all law. There has really been
.mdor the stringent prohibitory law of
[ owa no moro prohibition , if so much , as
in Nebraska under a system of high
license and local option , and wo do not
entertain a doubt that investigation
would show at least as many liquor
licenses issued by the federal author
ities in that btato as in this. The ma
terial results of the two systems , however -
over , have boon widely different , for
while prohibition has increased public
expenditures in Iowa without giv
ing any compensatory bandits has ,
in fact , been at once a tax upon the
people and a drawback to material
progress highliconso has boon a source
of useful revenue to every community
that has adopted it , has not interfered
with the material progress of such com
munities , and has by the regulations im
posed in connection with it rather con
duced to temperance than otherwise , for
the obvious reason that the regulated
trafllckor in liquors , holding his priv
ilege subject to goad behavior and a
compliance with the law , will bo much
moro careful than the bootlegger or the
runner of a surreptitious "joint , " who is
practically an outlaw.
The great body of the intelligent
voters of lown have evidently came to
clearly understand the true situation ,
and they will vote next .November for a
ohiuge of policy. The so-called clti-
zuib' ' movement cannot prevent this.
Waothor the republican or the. demo
crat party u'iits in November prohlbl-
tljn will have to go.

The American National bank closed
Its doors in the midst of the greatest

The fact is obaarrud that there Is a de
creasing attendance of old soldiers nt
the annual ononntyttionts of the Grand
Army of the Roifitollc , and that from
year to year fowjlr , " veterans are soon on
parade. Some thoughtless people ascribe
this to a wanlng iterost on the part of
the old soldiers , , \ { \ their organization
and the purposossfnr which It was insti
tuted , but the more rollcctlVo know that
It means the- thinning out of the
ranks of the men who preserved
the union , and that It convoys
the pathetic assuratico that in a '
shorter period than has elapsed
since the close of the civil conflict there
will not bo living nsulJIclotit number of
the victorious heroes of that struggle to
hold an encampment , They are rapidly
passing away and every succeeding year
must , in the nature of things , witness
greater Inroads into their ranks until
their number is reduced below that of
the highest annual death rate.
Of the splendid armies which as
sembled for review in Washington after
the rebellion armies which for com--
ago and loyalty have never been ex
celled anywhere in the world perhaps
not more than one-third , certainly not to
exceed one-half , of their members are
living. The great commanders who
were present on that most memorable
occasion have all gone , and with thorn
have gnno a host of asj heroic men as the
world over saw. Ouo needs but rollcct
that It is moro than twenty-eight"'years ,
almost n generation , since the close of
the rebellion to understand why it is
that the number of veterans who attend
the annual encampments Is decreasing.
The youngest person who entered the
army in the last your of tlio war , If still
living , is not far from fifty years old ,
and the very largo majority of veterans
are mucti older. Besides the lessoning
of the ranks from death ,
the Infirmities and disabili
ties incident to age , hastened by the
lingering effects of the hardships and
privations of a , soldier's life in active
service , keep many away from the
annual gatherings. Some go in spite of
their infirmities , but there is n large
number who cannot overcotun their dis
abilities suflloiontly to enable them to
take extended journeys , and this class
is steadily increasing. Lot these who
petulantly complain that the veterans
are a burden bo patient. It can only bo
a few moro yeartvwhon the last of them
will have responded to the final "taps"
and joined their Immortal comrades.
The encampment , at Indianapolis ,
whtlo not so ntiinorously attended as
most of these thajthuvq preceded it , is
still a very succogstul gathering of the
veterans , and so far as interest and
enthusiasm are con'Srncil ( | nothing seems
to bo wanting. Tho.votorans have given
some indication dfjiholr displeasure at
the feeling munifoslod , toward thorn by
the party in control if of'tho puvor'nmont '
and they wjll ddlfb'tt ess'give such ex
pression to'jthcit sentiments as the cir
cumstances jjeem to demand.-- The clos

and the county attorneys are requested to
take prompt action agalnat them. The

Tlio railroads of the stnto claim to hnvo
gone out of politics , yet It is a fact apparent
to every one that they nro doing nil in their
power to nssist thu republican ring to defeat
the rcnomination of Judge Maxwell. They
will probably succeed , but the people will
sec to It that the tool they nominate in his
stead is not elected.
Kcop Judge * Out of Politics.
7tl < ( mCfeii ( (
There is a growing sentiment in this stnto
ngnlnst drawing p.irty lines when it comes
to the election of supreme , district mid
county judges. This is the right channel to
drift in , nnd wo hope the tlmu is close at
hand when nonpartizan Judges will bo
elected throughout the country. Politicians
may bo shrewd enough to set up their pins
and scouro a nomination r.nd nt the same
time bo a dlsgrncn to the bench , if elected.
It is n duty voters owe to themselves to
throw political-prejudices to the winds when
it comes to elevating men to these responsi
ble positions.
There Must Ho Fnlr Piny.
Kearney Journal.
Every time the four state onicials who
were tried for impeachment show their hand
in setting up pins against Maxwell they are
only strengthening him with the people , as
their notion will bo charged up to a spirit of
revenge and will react. Lot us have n full
and fair expression of the people on the
nominee , and if the people want Maxwell lot
us nomiriato and elect him. .Tho Journal is
opposed to him because it believes ho has
had the position long enough , and is of thnt
'age where retirement in favor of younger
men would bo the proper act. However , if
in a good straight convention , where the
delegates nre free to net , they see fit to
rcnominato him then wo nre for him. What
the Journal wants is to sea n candidate
nominated without any manipulation or out
side dictation. Anything in that line would
prove most disastrous to the ticket. Let
fair play rule by .all , means.

The lawyers of Washington county nro to
bo congratulated lu the selection of Judge
W. C. Walton from their number as a candi
date for the district court bench in this
Judicial district. The time hns never been
more opportune for recognition than in the
present instance. Aspirants for judicial
honors nro beginning to learn that it is with
the lawyers that they have the most deal
ings , that the true lawyer is always a friend
of justice and equal rights , nnd that the
objections interposed by him are invariably
the safeguards of the law to which his client
is entitled. At least tlio client is always en
titled to a full and fair hearing. Any man
who nspircs to the judicial ermine must ,
therefore , nmlto up his mind thnt ho
will have to deal with the lawyer upon the
rocotnilzed principles of civilization and that
the wish of tno bar In his county and district
should bo the usher of his aspirations. In
Judge Walton wo havo.an . intelligent and
amiable jurist , and with the bar of his
comity , he will also llnd himself supported
by the delegates to the political conventions
nnd will got the popular vote of the people
nt the polls. Wo also bollovo that Judges
Duflio and Curtis , who were chosen as
candidates for election , will bo supported in
tlio conventions , nnd wo pledge to them the
hearty support of the Courier. Both Kcntlo-
nion hnvo frequently appeared In our district
court nt Ulair , and are fairly known to poli
ticians and people. Wo believe thnt Wash
ington county will do her duty by the whole
noupartisan ticket.

The dnto for tha republican state conven
tion will soon bo upon us , and the responsi
bility thnt party nominations entail will soon
confront the trusted representatives of the
party. The one thing necessary for party
success this year Is thnt men of spotless in
tegrity and acknowledged trustworthiness
bo chosen to carry the Hag. 't is useless to
conceal the fact that the party h.i-J suffered
in this state ia the past by permitting un
worthy men to foist themselves upon the
party nnd linally expose it to .criticism and
abuse. It is high time the republican party
was shaking oil thoio hungers-oil and placing
men bo ore the pcoplo against whom no
uhnrgo can bo Justly made. In fact it is neo
essary that this be done this year , if an old
time republlcau victory Is to bo assured.
The republican party U not naturally n
defensive party. On the contrary It is decidedly
cidedly aggressive. From its Inclpicncy it
has grappled with and settled grave Issues
in the face of formidable odds nud dlscour
ngcincnts ,
The great majority of thu republican partj
of this state still consists ot tills same ug
grt'sslvc , trustworthy clement imd It Is
unfair that they bo so misrepresented n
state conventions that a defensive campaigr
bo necessary.
With clean men nt the helm force th
light on both state and national lines. Th
entire state of Nebraska is ready to lly to
arms against the democratic party. I
has thus far proven Incapable of legislat
Ing in the interests of the west and th
voters nro ready to give it no quarter
A golden opportunity Is presented the ropub
llc.in party to regain its old-tltno position ii

those are not that kind ,
