Kuclld Martin Is the right man lit the
Iglit place ifs the head of the demo
T.-ttlc rump. It takes n man of his caller -
) er to play monkey for Tobe Castor and
ry to pull the nillroiid chestnuts out < > f
ho lire. A mini' disreputable piece of
wlltlcjil skullduggery Isiis never been
tttempted In this or any other
slate Hum I lie performances of Castor
ind his monkey. It almost surpasses
K'llel' that anybody claiming to havcj
uiy standing : is 11 politician would roiiu-
enancc suclf * a barefaced conlidencc
frame , much IC.SH make him sell' a parly
o It.
It IH known to all men Unit .MarlIn
was defeated In his own ward as dele
gate to the county convention In : i
square contest , In which he had the
uickiug of federal patronage and cor-
mratlon iuiluence. Martin conceded
hat he was fairly beaten , and made no
claim either before the county or the
state convention that lie was entitled
to represent either the ward he lives In
or any oilier part of the county. AVhon
: IL- called the state convent ion to order
> y virtue of Ids iioslthm a chairman of
the defunct state central committee he
performed the last function devolving
upon him. In calling this bod.v to order
Mu ft I u acknowledged Its legitimacy as
o representative body to act for the
democratic party. The convention , be-
cnme the repository of whatever there
was of the democracy oC Nebraska.
The ollicers chosen to preside over its
deliberations and the new state central
committee were elected before any dele
gate hud left the convention hall. AVlien
the convention ratified the choice of 0.
.7. Smyth as chairman of the new state
central committee by the vote of more *
than two-thirds of all the delegates
rightfully elected to the convention and
by fhe absent of the nutl-lJrynn fac
tion , Martin was divested of every
vestlgo of authority to represent his
.party excepting as any other democratic
voter. What right has Martin to act us
chairman of the democratic state com
mittee ? He was not even a delegate
to the rump convention made up of
thirty-six delegates , who held proxies
for twenty-nine other delegates , and at
best only could cast sixty-live voles
out of the 5(11 ( that constituted the
regular state convention. It is notorious
that Martin was thrust Into the rump
by Tobuvlliigton Castor ' to play
the monkey part lu pulling mil-
road chetmtts out of the lire. - This
is not n very enviable role for any
man with a particle of self-respect in his
make-up.
The most preposterous piece of mon
key work Is the plea which Martin has
tiled with Iho sccietary of state In sup
port of his fraudulent claims as chair
man of the democratic stale com
mittee. Martin .asserts that he and the
tribe of Tobias Castor's chestnut pullers
In the rump meeting are and of rights
ought to bt > recognized an the scions of
true democracy , and the straw men
they have named as candidates are the
legitimate nominees of the democratic
party. Martin assarts-that by endorsing
the candidate of another party and
adopting the platform formulated by
ilryan the regular state convention has
disbanded the party and left to the
rump tile duly of placing candidates In
nomination that are not tainted with
the heresies of the third party. Here
comes the ridiculous part of Martin's
monkey business. The head and front
of the rump ticket in Pete Sturdevant ,
tlie only democrat over elected to any
state ollk-e In Nebraska by fusion.
Stimlcvant was thu candidate for state
treasurer of the farmers' alliance party
In 1SS- . and he was afterward Domi
nated by the democrats and elected
under very nearly the same conditions
of political upheaval that exist In Ne
braska at this time. Two years ago
Martin himself Hent out circulars and
letters asking democrats to support the
populist electors nominated on a crazy-
qullt platform , lint consistency is not
one of the Jewels that ornament Mar
tin's shirt front. The only merit Mar
tin's ixTfuniiauccs with the rump ticket
have Is sublliat ) audacity. The attempt
to pitltii off Uie rump ticket as the regu
lar democratic nominees Is such a
palpable fraud that very few men
would have dared to father It. The
delegates that took part In the rump
convetitlou liavc no shadow to u title to
any claim us representing their party.
They had a right to bolt the conven
tion nud place a ticket in the Held , Just
as any other group of citizens , demo
crats or republicans , may do , but they
cnnnot supplant tlie regular party org '
gnnt/jitluu by the minority of a
minority nnd by outsiders who never
were elected to any convention.
It remains to be HCCII whether Secre
tary of State Alien will lontl himself to
the fraud which Martin lum taken the
contract to perpetrate. No.court would
dare In uphold such an tiublushlug Im
posture. .

STATK HAH I ? l.WIKS.
Senator Vest of Missouri Is one of the
recognized leaders of the democratic
party. He Is a member of the seuato
llnuuce committee and was one of the
subcommittee which formulated the
present tariff law. In opening the
democratic campaign lu Missouri a few
days ago Senator Vest declared his
opposition to that feature of the na
tloital banking system which permits
national banks to deposit I'nited States
bonds In the treasury and receive ! K ) per
cent of their face value In notes , and
said : "Tho legislation which taxed out
of existence the circulation of state
hanks Is u gross perversion of the taxIng -
Ing power and should be .repealed. " In
this the Missouri senator represents the
preponderating sentiment of bis party ,
as shown lu the plank of Its last na
tional platform recommending the re
peal of the II ) per cent tax , and the
unanimous demand of tin- southern
democracy.
The failure to repeal the tax on state
bank Issues at the last session of the
1'lfty-llrnt congress was not because of
any lack of effort on the part of demo
crats who believe as Mr. Vest does ,
These made a very earnest effort to si > '
carts the unconditional repeal of the tax ,
but there were democrats who wouh :
not agree to repeal except upon the con-
dltlon that ( he Issue of currency b >
state banks should be subject to some
supervision by the general government ,
and these with the republicans were
strong enough to defeat uncoudltlona'
rejieul. That question , however , was
not finally disposed of. It will again
be pressed for consideration at the next
session , nnd thu result may depend ver >
greatly upon the outcome of the con
gressltmnl elections In November. Xoth-
ug more cnn be done tat silver During
his administration. The veto by Presl-
lent ( 'lex-eland of the bill to coin the
no-willed Helgnlorage fully attested Ids
lelermluation not lo allow nny further
favors lo ( dim * . The advocates of
uorc inone. fmust therefore look to
some otlici * Bt | > ans ot supplying It , and
he most simple plan Is lo repeal the
stale Jiank tax. That would give the
Dim try in a jhort time a volume of
urrency whjSi would perhaps satisfy ,
it least as UilquaiiOty. the del maud of
he IiilliKl.mfyTK . If the democrats In
lie .November elections retain control oC
he house tiT rcprcHeiilatlves they will
, onstrtie ( 11 an a popular endorsement
oC the entire democratic policy as
> reseiited In the national platform nf
he party , and the advocates of the re.
ual of the state hank tux will bc > en-
ouragcd to more llrmly Insist that the
ccommcndatlou of the platform regard-
ng this tax bo carried out. There are
ensoiiH for believing that they would ,
tinier such circumstances , probably be
successful lu their efforts to have this
lone , Ilul I he election of a republican
ongress. logically carrying with it the
Hsappi'oval .of vthe entire democratic
lolicy , would be very likely to operate
is a decisive check upon any scheme
'or restoring the old system of state
milk , currency , oral any rate for the re-
leal of the ( a.v on such currency that
( lid ] uol carry with It ample safeguards ,
| iicludlng , governmental supervision ,
Against an Inllitllou oC wildcat money.
This Is one of tlu questions which
ought not to be entirely lost sight of
n ( fhe pending campaign. Senator Vest
Iocs not lose night of 11. because he
j mows it to be a part of the democratic
> olIcy yet to he carried out If that party
s kept In power. Whatever its relative
( ucrit ) may be , everybody who is con-
'crncd In the question of a sound cur
rency . must concede _ Its Importance.
There ure possibilities' Incalculable
injury to the people In a return to the
old system of .state bank Issues as ad
vocated by a large proportion. If not a
majority , of the democratic party.
The New York Times now culls upon
the democrats'of that state , no matter
what they may think of the state ticket.
to center their strongest efforts upon
the lights In tlu * different congressional
lIstrlclH. It will be remembered that
the Philadelphia Ileccird. whose editor
Is the democratic nominee for governor
In Pennsylvania , made " a similar appeal
to the democrats "in his state , telling
them thai the only question before them
Is how many pieces 'they will be able to
stive out of their oi'igreSHioiml tickets ,
Here I are Indications that the democrats
of New York , like those of Pennsyl
vania , have | < ijrictleall.v ! given up all
hope | of molting a favorable showing
with their state tickets In the coming
election , , although they must necessarily

George II , Thomas , the democratic noml-
nco for congress In the Third illstrlct , ha&
written a letter to the chairman of the cen
tral committee of ho district declining to
accept the nomination. No reason Is given
lor the action by Mr. Thomas , but Chair
man Dcvrles explains the matter as foltowx
"In Justice to Mr Thomas It will be well
to state thut he lias delayed sending : his
declination In compliance with the request
of the committee , who had hoped for the
ftiinilment of the promises made by promi
nent members of the populist party to se
cure the withdrawal of Uevlne and the selec
tion of a man who would have been accepta
ble to both parties , and In this way to make
It possible to ndvanco the cause of the com
mon people by pending a representative to
congress wlio could depended upon to vote
for the Interests of the people of the west. "
This makes the Issue In the district squarely
between Melltlejolm and Devlne , and the
money question will be the one on whlcli the
campaign will be fought.

Chicago Record ; It is hardly possible tc
regard Justice llarlan's decision as anything
other than R victory for the principles whlcli
declares every man's right to life , libertj
and the pursuit of happiness.
Denver News : Thin is a fair and Jiwt ruk
of action. Conspiracy In the case "can enl )
be construed as referring to acts of violence
Intimidation " .and wrong. " No man can ask
for a more" equitable deliriltlon of thj rlgliU
of railway employes.
St. Paul GlobeTho decision is evidence
that the hysterics of the incident arc over
and that Judges can consider and editors
comment on and people discuss the strike
and Its incident ; without being , on the one
hand , rated ns owned by the corporations , or ,
on the other , as anarchists.
Chicago Times : The decision of the United
States court of appeals overthrowing the In
junction In the Northern Pacific case by
which Judge Jenkins Bought to reduce the
American worklnRinsn , to the condition of
slaves and to break down forever the power
for good of trade unions is a swetpln vic
tory for wage workers.
Chicago Herald. The sum of the matter is
that ralhoad employes or any other workIngmen -
Ingmen cannot be tcstralned by an order of
court from qulttliiE : work or from endeavoring
to persuade others to quit work wherever or
whensoever they may choo e. Hut they
must not use force or Intimidation either In
causing jnen to quit work or In preventing
others from taking their places when they
do quit.
Minneapolis Tribune : Judge Harlan de
clare : that it Mould be an Invasion of natural
liberty lo compel a man to work or remain
In the service , of another , One who is
placed In such restraint Is In a condition of
involuntary servitude. The receivers had
the right to make a new schedule and offer It
to the men with the alternative of accepting
1C or quitting their service , and the men
had the right to refuse or accept or to quit
If they were not willing to work for less
wages.
Kansas City Times : Tha decision of
Judge Ilurlnn ought to be satisfactory to both
Eldes of the controversy. Worklngmen nro
entitled to justice , but they nre not licensed
to indulge In violence. If those who have
such grievances as lead to strikes will pursue -
sue the line laid clown by the court In this
case there will beno danger of government
Interference with their purpose. During the
lecent railroad strike the government didn't
Interfere to compel men to work. It oiily
restrained them from Interferlnir with the
rights and liberties o ( other men and destroy-
jng property thai dldn'l belong to them.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 3. The fraud division
of the general land ofllcc has become a very
small affair compared lo Us Importance of a.
few years ago. This year tliero Is appropriated ;
but $60,001) ) for the maintenance of special
agents , while a few years ngo the appropria
tions amounted tu $200,000 and $300,000 , and
even more. Now tliero are Imt twenty special
agents In the field and twelve of them will
bo dismissed In November , while a few
years ago there were armies of them In the
western slates.
There was a general revulsion ngalnst the
methods of special agents owing to tha
trouble growing out of rigid rules enforced by
General Sparks In the first administration of *
.President Cleveland. It made Itself fell In'
congress , when representatives of public land
( tales Insisted that thn people should bp an-
ncycd as llttlo ns possible by these special
agents and cut down the appropriations for
them. Then there were laws passed curing
many ot the errors developed by the special
agcntH and curtailing the work they had to
do. The Land department still Insists , how
ever , that there Is yet great necessity for
these agents , and Commlsloner I.amareus
siiys that with the force he has he cannot
protect the public lands. At present tha
agents are looking after swump lands , timber
depredations and fraudulent entries. Owing
to their limited force they ure ordered from
place to place frequently and few are allowed . . .
to remain on continuous work or In any ona
place for a great length of time.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 3 , General Wada
Hampton , commissioner of railroads , was at
his desk today for the first tlmo In several
weeks , having just returned from an ex
tended trip over the government roads which
come under his supervision. The gen
eral says he encountered In California a " "
great deal of clamor for not only government
control of the Union and Central Pacific ,
but of all roads. Both of these propositions \
are opposed by the commissioner , who will
submit his report to the secretary of the
Interior November 14 ,
"In the first place , " ho said , "bonds on
these roads are not due until IS98 , and the
government cannot foreclose until that time.
If the government should foreclose. It hav
ing only the second mortgage , It would be
compelled to pay the first mortgage , amount *

as ours cannot operate railroads. In ncito-
