Humors and reports concornlng con-

couunoii of Into that the cortalnty of

thi ) nature of the change , has whetted
the appetite of the public for definite
expressions of intention on the part of :
the democratic leaders. Upon lhU

Dal/.ell and Bryan of the commiUo'i on
way1 and means on ' 'The Coming TurilT
iyLegislation" In the current Xorth .
c ii Hci'itir wore no doubt intended to
shed the desired light. Hut while their
papers may deserve cunsidoraliun
in connection with the tarlll contro
versy , wo are compelled to search in
vain for what can be called a delinlte
plan upon which the new tariff is to be
constructed.
The chief point to IMS gleaned from
the views presented by these committeemen ' -
men is that the democratic party pre
fers to adhere rather to the expressed
policy of the president than to tlio titrilf
plank of their last platform. Instead of
regarding protection as a fraud and ofa
robbery , beyond the constitutional power
of the federal government to enact , the
readjustment of tlfb present tariff will
Iw undertaken with every con-
ulderutlon of the interests of
American labor engaged in manufacture
as well as the preservation of our maniit
fucturera. Mr. Dal/ell , the republican
contributor , poinU out additional con
siderations which , must bo kept in view
and which combine to maintain the pres
ent perplexing state of uncertainty.
These oieuiuuts are "the divided bcnti-
ment amongst demwratM upon the qnesai
i tton of protection , the effect of Icgislaho
lion oil local Interests , the. Influence of
general popular opinion , the necessity
i for revenue and the exlsMlng conditions
I wlilcti lender radical or experimental
legislation dangerous. "
This iii'ich , however , can bo gathered
from the articles by the other two mum-
hers of the emiinittce and from the
known view * of Chairman Wilson , that
the first stop will be to Increase the free
Hut by the Inclusion of many of the chief
law i materials Used in the manufactures.
Chairman WINon is said to be walking
resolutely up to free eeal despite the

Bryan : adds his p/opln y that "lu the

removed from a nuinbor of articles

In addition to the contemplated free
raw materials the democratic members
of the committee ou way * and means
have outlined nothing except perhaps a
faint intimation that in reducing the du
ties to n revenue bisis the reduction
should be greater on the mvess.iries of
life than ou the luxuries. lUit here ,
also , duo regard will bj had of the prop
erty rights that may ba itllected "The
democratic party1 says Mr. MeMillln ,
"does not eolc to tear down or injiiieour
industries Under it they flourished in
the p.ist. Under It they will ll jurlsh
in the future. " The now tariff is to be
in line with the personal views of .tho
president. The democratic platform of
18Ci ! has long ago been cast to the winds.
THAT laborers generally mean to
bo reasonable in their demands
upon employers and are willing
to eon-idor altered circumstances
that require changes in the
e'xistlng relations between employer
and employe is the lesson th'it is once
more tungl.t by the amicable sett lenient
of the ditTcrc'itees that arose among the
management and men on the Oonver &
llio Grande railroad. The railroads in
the mining districts have been so se
riously atlccted by tlio closing of the
mines and the stopping of local
industry that it became a practical
impossibility to continue to pay the
rates of wages previously in force.
Compromise and oncession on both
sides have resulted In the acceptance of
temporary redactions the Day rolls
until the first of next year , when the
road hopes to be able to return to its
former Hchedulcs. This agreement ren
ders it po-siblo to c mtiniie the employ
ment of the entire forces and distributes

business conditions amen ; , ' all parties

O > Jim jear ago L * rciuo Crouiisc was
elected governor of Nebraska upon a
platform which demanded regulation of
railway rates. The last louisliituro
passed a reasonable maximum rate bill
by the aid of republican votes and Gov
ernor Crouiiso affixed his signature , thus
making it a law. In ao doing ho fol
lowed the command of his pa'-ty ' as c\-
pressed in its platform adopted without
a dissenting vote. Tlio railroads have
made no attempts to prove that the rates
established by the now law are unrea
sonable. They are simply ignoring it
and are still defying the people. And :
jet the republican Htute convention
which met at Lincoln last week lacked
the courage to voice the honest senti i-
ments of the rank and file of tlie party iy
commending Governor Crounse for his
action in signing it bill demanded by the
people. It Ijteked the courage to condemn I-
Ii
demn the methods by which the rail i
roads are seeking to make the law a !
dead letter. Instead of meeting the is i-
sue manfully the delegated who mlsrop-
icsented the republicans of Nebraska
went wildly enthusiastic over a few
ponderous and llly-cnmpnsod platitudes
on national issues that do not in the re-
I motost way outer into the present cam-
pitign.
Wi : WOULD like very much to feel con
vinced that .fudge Harrison is not an
ally of the corporations that hitvo suc
ceeded in turning down Jtidgo Maxwell. ,
\Vo should like very much to believe
that ho was at heart in sympathy with
Maxwell and in accord with his decision
on the impeached olllclals. Hut it seems
strange , very strange , thatany man who
is against railroad rule in Nebraska
should head a delegation to the utato
convention that was instructed and
pledged to cast Itsjvoto for a pronounced (
railroad lawyer and ' 'use all honorable
efforts to secure his nomination , " It
scorns Incredible , awfully incredible ,
that a nun who abhors the do-
tcMnhlo methods which the rail
road Irsijes and Lincoln boodlors
piir.suod in running down Judge Max
well should lend himself to become the
chief btmeiiciary of the infamous and
criminal work of political desperadoes.
Surely Judge Harrison could /lot / have
been the victim of a plot to substitute
himself for Abbott.

IT limtXS & Vuok as If the Texas au
thorities have blundered most Horlously
In their treatment of two of Nebraska's
citizens. Marrott Scott was it self-eon-
vieted defaulter , aiiJ his arrest and In-
cm1'oration followed as a-nutter of
course. Up to the present writing , how
ever , there exists no H inflow of excuse
for the treatment accorded to Doll
Akin , the man wh ) went to Mexico in
an effort to. induce Scjtt to return.
Akin imiv have been implicated In
j-ieoti'a defalcations , but his guilt or In
nocence Is a matter for a Nebraska jury
tu detorinino. His incarceration in a
Texas jail for weeks by men who were
simply holding him for a reward was an
outrage and one that can neither be ox-
cu-ed nor condoned.
Tin : insurgent war against the admin-
Ibtiation of Ura/.tl Is likely to add
another chapter to the International
c-de of military othlcs. Ilerotoforo the
naval authority of any conflicting power
has exercised the undisputed right to
bombard any city held by its opponent.
At Uio do Janeiro the American , French
and Kuglish men-of-war ended the biin-
uardinont by the insurgent fleet for the
reason that the lives of the foreign loai-
dents of the city wore being endangered
In so doing the neutral powers ha\o
established n precedent that may work
a revolution in the naval warfare of the
future.
Tin : I-Yird thcatoi * disaster bobs up
once more in the shape nf a resolution
for a senate committee to investigate
the liability of the government for dam-
aires to the families of the killed and in
jured. In the meanwhile , however ,
government clerks at Washington are
still compelled to risk their lives in
buildings that have cither boon pro
nounced unsafe or are veritable lire
traps waiting for the llames. Kogard
for the present and future is equally as
neyjisary as reparation for the past.
Ir Tun railroad managers imagine
that the people of Nebraska will within
tlio next thirty days forgot the treason
able conspiracy by which the choice of
the rank and file of the republican party
has been thwarted they arc reckoning
without thei'-Iiost. ' This is the third
time the corporations have raided con
ventions that wore to nominate candi
dates for the supreme court. Twice the
outrage was submitted to and condoned.
Three times and out.
THE financial condition of the country
is doubtless improving , but oven the
usually optimistic Jlruihticet'sfails to de
tect any appreciable Improvement in in
dustrial conditions. It is folly to look
for permanent improvement In industrial
circles until manufacturers of tlio coun
try know to a certainty the policy of t ; e
administration on the tariff question.
The administration will render the
country a real service by showing its
hand as soon as possible.
Tin : refusal of the democratic and I
populist campaigners to discuss national
issues in Nebraska must bo positively
disheartening to the foflovv who con
structed the remarkable republican
platform.

Just as the b\llntlng was in progress ? at
Lincoln. It was IMItor WoolrulT of the To-
kainah Ilurtoniau who wrote : "if the ven
erable judge and jurist is turned down at the
hinds of the railroads ami inipn.u'lied oftl-
ccis of the state homo gang Nebraska can
know tint Hurt county republicans , and
many fioin the other three paities , wrro
loyal to the grand old man. "
John C Watson irives It out through the
medium of the Nebraska City pipers that ho
feels "luiihl.v disgu'tel at the defe.it he
suffered after winning siab a conspicuous
victor.v for the anti-Maxwell .forces. " The
major's distrust is evidently made manifest
bv smiles , for a broad grin was visible on
the top of his hcut when thu tourth ballot
was in progress at the republican state con
vention.
The most peculiar thing of the late icpub-
lir.m state convention was the ' 'split" of Ud-
Itor .ludsoii Gr.vves ot the Xollgh Advocate ,
lie went from Anteiopa county empowered
to cast the nlnu votes of the delegation , and
when ho found himself in olose quarters be
threw live votes to Alaxwoll and four to
Harrison It over a man tried to be on both
sides of the fence at once Graves is that
individual.
Nat Smalls of the democratic Fremont
Hetald seems to bo on the verge of bolting
his party nomination , for ho says : "Now if
lO.OOU or 15,000 democrats , also Incensed at
the turning down of the honest judge ,
should also conclude to shove Holcomb down
the corporation throat , to make a sure thing
of it , and not 'liro in the air. ' it would civc
them a lesson they would not soon forgot.
We know that a democratic govcinor ad-
\ Isod us to vote for Weaver a year agol"
Editor Mngcr of thu West Point Repub
lican has put into writing a sentiment that
many Nebraska republicans will endorse.
He says : "Judge Harrison is a strong man ,
but the repudiation of Jnitico Alaxwcll at
this particular period is to bo regrottoJ , as
his candidacy rcpiescntcd all that pertained
to anti-monopoly and antl-bondlerism His
nomination , no doubt , would have boon a
positive strength to the republican pirty ,
as fowothor men could have drawn tlm sup
port from outside their own ranks that
lustieo M x well could "
When John I , Webster related his profane
anecdote before the republican state con
vention the recollection of the days when
ho v\as a Alethodist Sunday school supevin-
tondont caused him to blush. The Lincoln
News noticed thote was something wrong
about the gentleman from Douglas , and it
was cruel enough to lonurk that. Mr Web
ster's "epigrams are in about as bad taste as
Tom Majors' after-dinner stories. However ,
we should not expect too much of a man w ho
will commit the solecism of wearing a spot
less white vest at a political convention "
The defeat of .ludgo Maxwell for lenonii-
nafion has caused the Norfolk Journalono ,
of the ablest and staunches ! papers of notth-
east Nebraska , to bolt iho ticket. In an
nouncing iis puipouo the .loinn.il say : "Tho
gang and gang methods prevailed in the re
publican state convention the true senti
ment of Nebraska republicans was throttled ,
Judge Mnxwoll was defeated and T. O C.
Harrison of Grand Island no'mimited. The
turning down of Judge Maxwell is a triumph
of the most corrupt nnd selfish elements of
the party and ivuinot be endorsed at the
polls by the honest men in the rallies. Tlio
Journal believes that the bust interests of
the party demand that the rank and llio
" liould tinn down their solf-constltuted
leaduib , and it will therofuro give its Mip-
port , to the independent nominee for supreme
judge , S. A. Ifolcomb.

According to a Dutch government report
just , issued , the labor nuustioa is practically
unknown in the Ne'.ho'ilands ' , Sli.mgo as It
may seem , the Dutch vunkmou lilto long
hours and aio content to live on 10 cents a
daj The roaspn whi titeypiofer long hours
to short is becaubc they can thus work in the
slow and leisurely m inner that suits them
best and c in indulge tbulr national con-
sjicnco in tlm matter of thoroughness , and
they are content with low wages beeauso
they know how to make thorn go a long way
The Dutchman is not fond of striking and
gets on well with his employers , resenting
state interference in his iclations with them
as calculated to impciil that freedom and in-
dopetidenco for which his ancestors fought
so nobiv. The only thing that in nny way
lescmblcs a labor question in Holland is
connected with the'iiUrodnetlon of. machi
nery , which puts tb" true Dutchman out of
fjcar altogether , forces him to work briskly
and oven makes him discover that old fash
ioned wages arc not quite np to nu\v fash
ioned ideas.

What are they ?
That's what a good many people have wanted
to know lately ,
judging by the num
ber of ladies and
boys who have boon
up in our children's
department this
"What are they ? " they ask. "What kind
of a reefer suit can you sell for $2.50 ? " They are
all right and come in all the loading1 stylos. Of
course we have others that will cost you more , but
our usual good , substantial quality is apparent in
every suit we sell. We have a magnificent line of
reefer overcoats that it v/ill do your heart good to
see. You can also get leather or cloth leggings Lo
match any suit. Boys' caps and hats , collars , neck
ties , waists , probably the greatest assortment in
this western country , will always be found in this
department If the gentlemen will visit our men's
hat department they will not only find as good a
ine as in town , but we can save them dollars.
