The current political < liBouillon in No-
bra ka since the results of the election
liavo become known scorns tTi partake of
the nature of premature exultation over
the alleged tlctniso of thoncoplo'H indo-
pondontparty In this stntoT It is tacitly
agreed by enthusiastic but short-sighted
republican editors , who have taken no
pains to subject the political situation in
Nebraska to n critical nnalyflis , that the
result of the roeont election proves un
mistakably that the strength of the In
dependent party is on the wuno : that the
defeat of .ludgo Holcomh marks the
turning point in the history of that
party ; and that It Is no longer to bo con
sidered ns nn Important factor in future
political contest- this stato.
The ffiUiation ns it exists today , in the
light of the results of the recent elec
tion , is worthy of serious and earnest
consideration. Till ! BF.K has never sub
scribed to the political tont-ta of the in
dependent party. On the contrary , It
has always opposed its subtroa mry , flat
money and wild cat currency .schemes.
It 1ms unsparingly criticised the reck
less extravagance of the independent
legislature of 1891 , exposed the corrup
tion of many of its most prominent
loaders , uiul showed up in their true
character the vulnerable candidates of
that party in previous campaigns. With
these facts In view , it will readily bo
granted that THK BKB , moro than any
newspaper in Nebraska. Is in a position
tosponk fairly and from an unbiased
standpoint.
Two years ago , when the democrats
had no candidate for supreme judge and
fully two-thirds of those voting sup
ported Kdgcrton , the populist candidate
received "I1 , * . ! ! ! votes and the republican
candidate 70,447. The national cam
paign of last year drew out the full
strength of all parties. The republican
presidential electors received an average -
ago of 8G,8)5 , while the republican htatc
officers averaged 80,573 votes. Auditor
Moore received S-,1557 , and Governor
Cronnsc 78,420. The populist average in
the state last year , ns computed on the
basis of the vote for state olllcors , wnsfl-- ,
228 , while the democratic average , com
puted on the same basis , was 48,827. Un
official returns for this year indicate that
Harrison has 72,579 , Holoomb fi.ii07 , ; ,
Irvine 37,054. The prohibition vote this
year is1 within a fraction the same as it
was two years ago.
In other worlds , .TuiJgo Harri
son's vote falls 14,310 below that
for Benjamin Harrison electors , and
nearly 8,000 below the average for re
publican state officers in 1892. Crediting
Judge Harrison with the 10 per cent
drop from the aggregate vote of last
year , ho still falls behind over 0,000 on
the presidential vote of last year. The
decline in the democratic vote this year ,
as compared with last year , exceeds
11,000 , and deducting therefrom the 10
per cent drop still leaves 0,373 votes to
bo accounted for. It is safe to say that
more than one-half of these , or over
3,000 , went to Harrison , so that the
actual republican vote for Harrison was
only about 09,000 , or 9,000 less than wore
cast for the lowest candidate on the
state ticket a year ago. These _ 9,000
"represent an absolute defection by
reason of the defeat of Maxwell.
Tliorois nothing in the election re
turns to warrant the' assumption that
the .peaplo's independent party in Ne
braska is losing ground to any extent ,
or to warrant the presumption that the
republican party has gained in strength.
In state elections Nebraska has never
been u populist stave. Numerically that
party is just as strong as it was last year
and stronger than it was two years ago.
It knows no factional differences and ilk
organi'/.ation is in many respects more
compact. It is destined to vlay an im
portant part In. next year's campaign ,
for it stands as a thoroughly organized
protest against the further encroach
ment of corporate influence upon
the administration of the state's
affairs. It stands as a significant
inonnco to tie [ disroputaulo political
methods of the men who by the
result of the last election trained a tem
porary1 advantage over the people. It is
today an organized protest against cor
porate control of the oxccutlvo , legisla
tive and judicial departments of the
state government. JUi subtreasury
schemes , its wild cat currency theories ,
are of no conboquence. It is the ster
ling , unpurchasablo integrity of the men
who compose the rank and file of its
party organization that plants the party
across the pathway of unreflecting
parties and mercenaries marching under
the banners of corporate power.
TUB DEE is not attempting to foster
the strength of a political organisation
that Is regarded by many as a standing
menace to the prosperity and credit of
the state. It is not seeking by fulsome
flattery to perpetuate or encourage a
party that might bo unable to wisely
manage the affairs of the tuto if placed
In power. It merely points out the fal
lacy of the assumption tluit the Inde
pendent party isjio lougor a factor In
political contests in Nebraska. It does
this bocuuso it boliovcs that it is tlio
better part of wisdom for the republican
party to measure the full strength of its
opponent rather than to permit itself to
bo lulled to sloop in fancied security by
the exultation of short-sighted men who
are unable to look beneath the surface
of existing political conditions.
Republicans of Nebraska hud hotter
hoed the warning. Tt is made now because -
cause the agents of the corporations in
Nebraska nro already actively at work
upon their plans to pursue the tem
porary advantage they gained at the
polls November 7.
honoft men in Nebraska will
read of the acquittal of another member
of the indicted gang < of asylum boodlers
with a blush of shame and indignation.
Of all the men who have looted the
atatb treasury no ono lias worked more
openly than farm UMS Hubbard. His
guilt was to pvldent ( hat when the ex
posure oamo ho fled from the stuto.
Afterwards ho returned and gave him
self into custody , and it wus generally
understood that ho was willing to turn
state's evidence. Then ho concluded
to htand hia trial , The evidence wus
IHwltlvf. And yet a Lancaster county
jury acquitted him. Ills acquittal , fol

his fellow boodlors , and the complete
exoneration J > f the members of the
Htixlo Hoard of Public Land- ? and Uulld-

capital with impunity.

Surprise has been expressed that the late
election resulted m the defeat of two such
good men ai Judge Duflle and Mr. Curtis ,
notwithstanding the fact that they had the
active support of the lawyers of the district
as well as party nominations behind them.
Asldo from the fact that Judge Ambrose It
an old cltlron possessing much personal
strength , whllo Judge Blair enjoyed the sup
port of the H'orM-WfiWif , It 'night as well bo
stated now that the primary-cause of the
Defeat of the bar nominees was resentment
on the part of the people nt the attempt of
the bar to dlctato the selection of judges
and throttle popular choice at the polls.
The result Is n nrotos * . ngalnatrtho attempt
by the bar to abolish the popular election of
the judiciary. llor/iN/A-wW. /
The election returns show conclusively
that this is all the veriest rot. One of
the nonpai'tisun candidates , Mr. Curtis ,
carried Douglas county over Judge
itlulr , the highest partisan nominee , by
2.MI. .Ttulgo Duflle , the second nonpartisan -
tisan candidate , beats Ambrose in Doug
las county by 58 votes , and comes within
202 of Judge Blair in Douglas county.
The wonderful influence of the W.-1L in
its support of Blair , measured by the
difference between Judge Blair's vote
and the vote for Ambrose , Is just 2iO. (
As n matter of fact the support of that
sheet did not cut any llgitro whatever.
Thorn wore more than 200 stalwart re
publicans in Omaha , who know Ambrose
Ions : enough and well enough not to vote
for him for a position on the bench. It
may as well bo said now as two years
hence that Mr. Ambrose will ho taken
only on probation and it will depend
upon his ability to sustain himself
against temptation whether ho will got
a full term or bo retired at the end
of 1895.
The candidates for n nonpartisan ju
diciary wore defeated in Burt county ,
where no active canvass had boon luado
in their behalf , whllo a very lively still
hunt was tnutlo by and for their oppon
ents. Tlio result is not u protest against
nonpartisun judges , but merely a proof
that the Ilpht over city and county offi
cers distracted attention from the ju
diciary to the municipal and county
llesh pots. Nonpartisan judges have
usually been elected in this district , and
the principle is not llkeiyto be weak
ened by two or throe miscues.
lfTA LAWLESS STATK.
Two unfortunate events In the recent
local history of Nebraska have given
the eastern press an opportunity to com
ment unfavorably upon the alleged dis
regard with which the people of Ne
braska look upon the law. The Oscoola
Incident , followed as it was by the lll- (
advised uprising at Plattsmouth , in
which two confessed murderers would
huvo suffered death at the hands of the
mob but for the timely action of the
shoriffof Cass county , have enabled the
Tntcr Ocean to jjravolydiseuss ; the ' -'rev
erence duo to law" and the "low moral
tone of the community" in two very
pointed editorials.
The Chicago editorials referred to are
timely in so far as their application is
directed to the country ; vt largo , but in
so fur as they &eck to fasten the stigma
of lawlessness upon Nebraska alone they
are misdirected efforts. It is true that
men have been lynched in Nebraska. So
they have in other states east of the
Mississippi river. It is likewise true
that in a solitary instance a community
has been pevoked into the adoption of
the questionable methods' of the' ' white
caps of Indiana. But instances of mob
violence are as rare in Nebraska as in
any state west of the Ailoghunios.
The Chicago paper falls into a com
mon error respecting the western states.
It has become the fashion to ascribe to
the states west of llio"Missouri river a
reckless and lawless spirit. And yet the
great crimes which have shocked the
entire country have boon perpetrated in
tlio older states. The disposition to ap
peal to the summary administration of
lynch law cannot bo located by geoeruph-
inul rules. The deplorable assassination
of Mayor Carter Harrison wrought the
people of Chicago into a frenzy of fury
that impelled the authorities of that
city to adopt extraordinary precautions
to prevent the summary execution of
the assassin at the hands of a mob ; and
in some of the most brutal crimes over
committed in Nebraska the law has
boon permitted to take Its course without
question. >
The Chicago philosopher has studied
human nature only upon its sin-free if he
imagines that ho can localize sentiment
and restrict pubsion by geographical
motes and bounds. If ho will dip
u little deeper he will flnd that
the motives which prompt men in mo
ments of frenzy to take the administra
tion of the law into their own hands
recognizes neither latitude nor longi
tude. Men are very much alike ,
whether they live above or below Mason
and Dixon'ri line or oust or west of
the Mississippi river.
T/IB mxux coi/ivrr aoxoii.
The decision of the United Stutos an-
promo court in tlio Dixon county band
case emphasizes and dcflnas the doctrine
of ultra viros as applied to pretended
obligations of public corporations. In
this case tiie people of Dlxon ojiuity
voted to issue railroad aid bonds in excess -
cess of the debt limit proscribed by the
utatu constitution. It was clear that
tholr action in HO doing must liavo been
unauthorized and consequently" void.
The purchasers of the bimils , however ,
attempted to secure an equitable claim
by offering1 to biirrundor n portion of
their bonds in thu ratio of the excess
above the constitutional .limit to Ui'a
total Issue. As inn cent purchasers for
value they claimed that they were entitled -
titled to every consideration which a
court ot equity might allow.
The contention of the bOiuiliolcors |
does not seem to have made the desired
Impression on the court. Tlio latter re
fuses to practically nullify "tho provi
sions of thu btuto constitution , notwith
standing the fact that It leaves thu ap
pellants apparently without redrew.
Dixon county , in attempting tA issue the
bunds , acted entirely without legal
authority and no lojjal rights'could have
arisen as against the county from such
action. Wliaj [ { aq illognl In the first
place could scarcely bo validated by any
voluntary notion of the bondholders.
Worn it otherwise , what would bo the
object of providing constitutional re
strictions updrM.'ho ' power of public cor
porations to Involve their members in
debt ? It wouhlfl nvite violations of tlio
constitution for the dimple reason that
no penalties would bo attached.
The tondenc"y'l'dt ' the federal courts has
always boon' tTf'go to the farthest ex
treme in protSiU'ng the interests of the
so-rolled innocent purchaser for value.
Ono of the most noteworthy Instances
of this occurred only liwt year , when
Bovcral Missouri judges were thrown
Into prison for contotnpt of court because -
cause they refused to carry out nn order
to levy a tax for the payment of railroad
aid bonds granted by a county to nld a
railroad that was never -built. In that
case the court argued Unit the Innocent
purchaser must bo protected , oven
though the public had to sufTor. ' Dlxon
county most probably never received
the benefits which were expected and
promised when the railroad nld hands
wcro voted. The p'resont holders , at any
rate , ought themselves to have guarded
against taking any but legally Issued
securities. Tim controversy resolves
itself into a question of whore the hard
ship should lie and it is gratifying in
this connection tonolo that the supreme
court Is beginning to show an adequate
appreciation of the rights of the people ,
even though they corao in conflict with
the claims of the favored innocent pur
chaser for value.
THK first year of Mayor Boiuis' term
ho was harassed and nonplussed re
peatedly by a combine In the council
organized from the start to oppose any
measure for which ho contended and
hamper him in the discharge of official
duty. The combine was in every re
spect discreditable to the city and dam
aging to the public service. It accom
plished nothing for the good of the city ,
but simply stood as an obstruction to
any policy the mayor might propose.
The result of the late election has ( won
'n lesson to the men who have for nearly
two years sought to injure the standing
of the mayor before 'the pooplo. He
triumphed over them at lust , as ho will
again if an attempt bo made to form a
combine in the new council to override
the mayor's will. The franchised cor
porations have great Interests at stake.
They will got control of the council un
less the membo.rs , decline all overtures
from them. Their only hope
is in the fohniition of a combine
that will keop' . , the mayor and the
council majority' continually at cross
purposes. The sfoner they can bring
about an open broach the butter for their
allied interests. 1It is to be hoped the
now members of tjio council as well as
the old will positively decline to enter
into any such dbalf Which can have but
ono result the'botrayal ' of the trust im
posed upon them-individually by "their
constituents. ; * * "
tj-patjfi jjpt'ext'raditio.n , , wi.tjt the
various European and 'South American
countries are stundlijg' in very good
service to tlio" Unitea/ States just at
present. Embezzlers aro'flnding it diffi
cult to escape the clutches of the law ,
notwithstanding their success in making
good their escape from the territorial
jurisdiction of the federal government.
It is to bo hoped that the increased cer
tainty of final capture may operate to
deter hesitating embezzlers from overstepping -
stopping the limits of their trust.
So LONG as the anarchists confine
themselves to harmless commemoration
of the martyrs to their cause the law
cannot interfere with tj oir meetings.
Sunday's quiet demonstrations in tlio
various large citjes of this country must
bo taken as an indication that the an
archistic agitation iil the United States
is , for the time being at least , in a con
dition of inactivity.
ACCORDING to Governor Altgold there
frre no anarchists In the United Statos.
That all depend * * upon what wo under
stand as anarchists. Tlioro are plenty
of people who preach what they term
anarchy , and it is not their fault that
they are unable to carry Into uractlco
the principles which they proclaim.

Now York Tribune ( rep. ) : What Is cer
tain Is Unit literals no Imslnoss In which
the United States would appear to Kroater
disadvantage than In uslnp Its bayonets to
prop np n broken-down throne especially
the throne of such a queen ns Mlluokalaul.
Now York Kvcnlne I'ost ( Ind.Mlcm. ) :
President Cloveland's decision In the
Hawaiian case la the only Just ono possible.
Ho has simply undone the wronp which
Minister Slovens , acting without authority ,
committed In the naniu of the Harrison ad
ministration.
Olouo-Dcmocrat ( rep. ) : Tno pulling down
of the stars and stripes and llio overturning
) * republican Kovcrinnoiils are not c'alou-
ated to endear on aUmlnlntratlon In the
Jnileil States to the people. This Hawaiian
inmlllatlon will furnish one of the nails for
the democratic eonin in 181KJ.
Now York Kvonlng Sun filom. ) : Tlio for-
clpti policy markert out by Mr. ( Jresham will
strlkoevery American citizen worthy of the
intno as oven more absurd , out of date , un-
republican and unpatriotic than the silly old
.hrono which ho would force the American
republic to sot up upon Its tottering logs
again.
Philadelphia Times " ( doni. ' ) ; Many people
will Ulsltko the Idea of .soltluc up ag.\ln the
roohlo monarchy , \\hlchls clearly dosthied
; p destruction sooner or later. At the sanio
time it Is clear that the considerate Judg
ment of the country has not uphold the
ichcmo of annexation- winch would ho noth
ing moro than forcible conquest.
Philadelphia Lodger ( Ind. ) : Extraordl-
iary action has been taken by President
ClovolauU In Hawaiian matters , but if the
report of Secretary Orcsham rebooting the
conduct of ox-Minister Stevens Is correct it
is nothing more nor loss than un effort to
correct a great wrong done to Queen
Lllluokahml and her government.
Philadelphia Press ( rep. ) : Mr. CIcvo-
and's administration uma/.es the country ,
not merely by rofuslu ? to accept the gem of
the Paclllc , but by putting hands on for tbo
extraordinary purpose of setting up a dis
credited and debauched thronol It is the
most Inexplicable , the nuwl humiliating , the
mostulsgrat'ofnl act of any American ad
ministration of our time.
Chicago Record ( ind. ) : The Uncord re-
lards us monstrous Mr. Gresham's recom
mendation that the United States replace
Liliuoknlanl on the throne she has dis
graced. If the people of the Islands can
KOYCIII themselves , well ami pood. There Is
no need of annexation by the United States
save as a last resort. A protectorate Is
preferable to annexation. But the grotesque
barbarism of the United States beatlngdown
un established crovcrnmcnt of honorable men
iiul thrusting Hie queen back on her throne
is a suggestion In every way unworthy of the
secretary of state of the United States.
Washington Star ( tnd. ) : That the course
of the administration is indefensible must bo
evident.to all reasoning people. It matters
not now how the revolution was brought
iboutj that It occurred Is history , but with
those causes the uresident- can have nothing
to do. Both President Harrison and Presi
dent Cleveland have recognized the provi
sional government as a power , the latter
having sent to that government two repre
sentatives. President Cleveland might
withdraw the American minister If hcstmplv
desired to let tlio two factions flght it out
among themselves ; that would bean un
friendly act. But to drag the throne from
out the royal woodshed , and , after dusting it
off witli the frazzled hopes of honest Ameri
cans , replace the low comedy queen on Us
cushions is an act of hostility toward a
friendly power which neither the Americans
of Hawaii nor those of the United States are
likely to forgot.

burglars , trapped by electricity and the
camera , have confessed to ronblnj the store
of Stevens & Co. last night. For some tlmo
the firm has been a loser by persistent till-
t-ipplng and other dovlcos of that nature.
Two electricians arranged a camera foouseil
on the cash drawer and an electric connec
tion was made with the Edison plant to
operate it. The burglar alarm Uovlco was
fitted in the cash drawer so that
when the till was opened the cap
was removed from the camera , exposing the
lenses and at-tho same tlmo setting off a cal
cium Hash light. As soon as the calcium
light burned the camera closed with the
photographs of the robbers Imprinted on the
instantaneous plate. The three young men
implicated wore startled by the light , but
did not understand the reason of it. The
men wore arrested and when confronted by
the photographs confessed. Their names
are Lewis Stoneburuer and Chnrlos and
