luce them that the election of Majors

imilltion for the great contest of 181MJ
ban If Majors IH defeated anil rele-
atod to the ri'iir.
Two years ago the repnlillcnn presl-

vlll these men ilo two yenrs hcnit * if
hey nre convinced that the parly in
his state Is dominated by nilli'onds

If Majors Is elected this year he will
nrely be a candidate for re-election
wo years hence. Tlmt menus another
iefensive campaign , In which the ntl-
uinistration democrttts as well us the
iryiin democrats will fuse against the

r A nn ;
In his appeal for harmony iinionn the
lemocratle. fai-tions in New York Senn-
or I-'aulkner of West Virginia , clialr-
nnit Of the democratic congressional
onimlttee. closed with this plea : "To-
biy the state of Xow Y < xi-l ; . If the election
wns to be passed upon by the house ,
onld castitH vote for a democrat to
iivitpy the presidential chair. Nineteen
if Its tliirty-fonr votes are deiiiocratie.
A loss of two congressmen in this stale
would give Ihe vote in IS ! 7 of the state
if New York tn the republicans for
liresiik-nt. should Hie contingency occur
n which the election of that oliicer were
thrown into Ihe house. For them ; ren-
sons I appeal to all the elements , ruc
tions and dlvlMons of the party to unite
mil liirmonl/x ! < oil ( be congressional
tickets and to do no act which will tend
to weaken and enilnnger tliu national
upreniucy of our party. " Pacing
iver for the moment the slight iliac-
nracy in the statement , Senator I'anlk-
ner here foi' the lirst time brings to
public notice one of the important is
sues in tlie pending election which republicans
publicans everywhere cannot afford to
overlook. The question Is , bow , In nil 1
I'obiibillty , will the next house of rep
rcscntatives be divided by stales among
the various pintles' ? The. contingency
that tlmt house may be called upon to
elect the next president of tlie United
Statcx makes It all IniKirtant ] ( hat the
republicans control n majority of the
state delegations.
The federal conslilntlon , as is well
known , provides that in case no cnndl
date nt a presidential election secure a
majority of the total number of electoral
votes , the election of the president shall .
devolve upon the house of representa
tives , Its choice being limited to the
three cniidldtite-s receiving the highest
number of votes. When performing
this duty , the members of eaeli state
cast but one vote nnd a majority of nil
the stales Is necessary to elect. Twice
already the choice of a. president lins
fallen upon thu house nnd it has been
tlie practice for the majority of the. rep
resentatives ot each state to determine
how the vole of Hint state shall be cast
Were the choice of n president to fall
to the lot of the present congress , nu
Impossibility under our constitution , ! '
the democrats would easily have their
own way. On the roll of the states.
twenty-five would be recorded for the ;
democratic pnndldate , fourteen for the I
republican candidate , two for the- popu
list candidate , while three would be so
divided that no parly would have a
clean majority. Inasmuch as only
twenty-three votes would be required ,
the democrats would have several to
spare.
There Imve been a few changes in
the representation from one or two
slates since the present congress was
elected , but not enough , to change the
vole of. the state upon such n contin
gency. By 1807 , too , IMali will havu
been admitted to the union , but neither
will that event alter the necessity for
twenty-three voles to elect. What must
be 'the republican gain to give the re
publicans the deciding voice If the pres
idential electors should fall to elect a
president In 189(1 ( ? The fourteen states
which the republicans now control arc :
Idaho , Iowa , Maine , Massachusetts ,
Michigan , Minnesota , Montana , New
Hampshire , North Dakota , Oregon ,
Pennsylvania , South Dakota , Vermont
and Washington. The democrats can
have no hopes of talcing any of these
away from them. To secure the rcxiut-
site twenty-three the republicans uuuit
not only hold their own , but win enough
rcpreseiitnllvert lo make n republican
majority In nlno more states. There
will be thirteen states which the reptibDo
lieiins have fair prospects of securing ,
I'o do so they will need to gain one
representative In California , two In
Coniicclloit. one In Illinois , five In In-
Ilium , two In Knnsn * , otic In Nebraska.
three In New Jersey , three In New York ,
: nie In Ohio , two In Khode Island , one
In Ptnh , two In Wisconsin nnd one in
Wyoming. There Is tilso n chnnee of
llrhlhig Ihe vole in Went Virginia , and
licrhnps another state or two. A gain
if twenty-live congressmen , properly lo-
ntcd , would give the republicans all of
these states , or a total of twenty-seven
voles. A gain of only twelve represen
tatives , properly located , would give
Ihe republicans the nine votes neces-
for a majority. The republicans
[ an lose In lour of these thirteen doubt
ful slates and still have .1 majority of
the whole number of states. It Is even
possible that the republicans may re
main a minority in the membership of
the next house and still have a majority
f the votes by states. These encourag-
ng pmxpccls , however , should not make
the republicans any less watchful or
lens energetic In their congressional
campaigns throughout the country.
There Is a possibility that the election
: f tlie next president Is Involved In the
congressional elections for this year.

Thi ! Intijsr advices from England In-
illralc that the great Issue In that coun
try Is tlie question whether tin : House
of Lord * Is to be sustained. For n mini-
her of years this has been n growing
matter of controversy between the par-
lies in Great Britain. The fact hits been
admitted that the lliv.ise ofLords has
aeled as n bulwark against the enact
ment of legislation tliat was Intended
for the general improvement of the
condition 'of the people , nnd the judg
ment has been that the policy of that
element has worked to the curtailment
of tlie liberties of Ihe English people.
As a matter of fact , the llotiso of Lords
has made great concessions to the people
ple , lint it has not gone so far in these
respects as to satisfy the popular de
mand , and consequently there Is still a ,
very strong feeling that n change is deru
sh-able.
English politics Is controlled by n
system altogether different from that
which prevails In the United States.
The members of the House of Lords
.
are ) not chosen by the people , but hold
their , pnsitlon by virtue of appointment
from , ( the crown. They nre men wbo
represent the wealth and the power of
the nation , and , as a whole , they are
not presumed ti represent the wishes
and the Interests of the common people.
Tlmt they nre not absolutely hostile to
the welfare of tlie masses has been
many times demonstrated , but still the
Impression prevails that their feeling is
ant friendly to the people , nnd it Is for
this reason that there is u general pop
ular demand for the abolition of the
upper house of rarliamenl.
The indications tire that this senti
ment will make Itself felt more conspic
uously and more vigorously In the next
general election than ever before , and
unless nil signs fail , the verdict will be
very strongly in favor of getting rid of
this incubus upon the British legislative
system.Vhnt would be the result of
such a change ? It Is a serious question
whether the Kugllsh people would be
bi'iu-nted by It , for , despite the fact that
the House of Lords is a bulwark against
Ihe Introduction of what nre believed to
be reforms In the interest of Hie people ,
it has been a check upon certain
changes in policy which experience has
shown inlglit not have been for the gen
eral welfare. The fact remains , how
ever , that no other question takes pre
cedence of this In tlie minds of English ,
men , nnd Its solution IB not far off.

In peekingto _ account for the comparn-
lively small number of women who regis
tered Tuesday -there Is one patent reason
which must not , berovcrlooked. One of the
cfuerle.i of the Inquisitive judges nt the polls ,
made neco. sary under the law , touched the
iverage woman In her most sensitive spot.
It IH entirely probable that many more
women would have registered but for their
dislike to stand In the presence of officials
of the law , with bonnet In one hund and the
other uplifted to heaven , and solemnly swear
: o their exact age. Women have a happy
Faculty of making themselves look younger
: hun they really are. or at least of fancying
that they have skillfully concealed the. rav
ages of time with the appliances of art anil
tlic dermatologist , and they cherish this
delusion as fondly as the ontrloh its delusion
that no one can ee him when he has his
lieail In the sand. A woman who looks to
21 years of age und is really 25 , or a
venerable sister of CO who has made herself
up to pass for M. does not like to own up
to the 25 or the KO ; still less does she like
to give out thin distressing Information
under oath to numerous other sisters who
liave not registered , and , therefore , while
they know the deceit the former have prac
ticed. C9ii hug- their own delusions with the
comforting thought that they are- not on
the records and can congratulate themselves
that they have not had' to give away the
fondest secret of their lives and risk it In

TUB recent experiments at Hast Omaha by
which pure spirits have been produced from
beet sugar molasses Is of Interst tn the
agriculturists of the northwest. The process
lias ! > een used In Prance for u good many
years , but this IH the Ural time It has ever
been successfully employed In this country.
The quality of Milrltn Is said to be of a
better grade than can be produced from
either corn or rye.
Heretofore the beet sugar molasses has
been an absolute waste , being unsalable be
cause of its strong alkaline taste. In the
process of distillation , however , this alkali
Is neutralized. The raw molasses IH run
Into an Immense vat and about 10 per cent
of niDlt and yeast ami n quantity of. other
chemical iirenaratlons added. In a short
time the alkali IK Ira" stormed nnd ferment -
tlon begins. It Is then pumped Into a large
fermenting vat and In seventy-two hours
the fermentation la completed , when II Is
ready for distillation.
Last year the product of molasses from
the beet sugar factory at Grand Inland , til
Neb. , was 177.0UO gallons. This used to be
thrown away , but tt will now be bought by
the distillers at a good price. With the
utilization of this waste there Is no reason
why beet migar manufacturing may not be ai
come profitable In this country. The soil aitl
and climate of many sections of Sllnnesola tlPi
anil the two Dakotao Is well adapted to beet Pil
culture , and In timewe may exp&ct to see

McCook J Tribune : The Tribune begs to bo
excused ( from joining In this vociferous hue
and cry about the Impending menace to our
state's credit. Firstly , because we don'l be-
llcvo It. And again , because we are not dis
posed to encourage the calamity howling
business. The republican state ticket will
be elected upon a more bonest Issue than
calamity howling. It Is not and should not
be necessary.
Howells 1 Journal : The Omaha Iluslnesn
Men's association's efforts to elect Majors
win not rave him. The contrast between
Holcomb anil Majors Is too great. The
sterling honesty and Integrity of Holcomb
Isbcl having Its effect and the opposite effect la
being produced hy Majors , Holcomb will
beef the next governor In spile of the efforts
of the gang who will profit hy attempting
to secure the election ol Majors.
Plattsmouth 1 Journal : Tlint Tom Majors

nobody ran question. That Judge Holcomb
would act ho'icslly in behalf of the whole
people < which Includes fair treatment of the
railways nobody has u right to doubt or
question. An honest , economic stale gov
ernment would promote the Interests of hon
est railroading as well as every other In
terest , and tli s < > reasons ought to Induce
honest men to vote against Majors and far
Holcomb.
Wlsner Chronicle : Ciimlng county re
publicans liave always been found In the
anti-monopoly rank * . They expressed their
preference for Van Wyrli for senator In ISSfi
by a large majority : they opposed Steen ,
Cowdory und liontou until they were ills-
posed of : they instructed their delegation
for Judge Maxwell last year , and this year
the delegation stood seven to two against
Majors , Arc the voters goltiR to remain
true to their principles this year and rebuke
at the ballot box corruption and corporate
dictation ? We believe they will.
lllalr Pilot : The " .straw vole- " ( lend Is
again abroad In the land , The Fremont
Tribune has resurrected him on a train
where he found seventy votes for Majors ,
forty-two for Holcomb and twenty-six fur
Stunlevant. Majors' vote will lead on rail
road trains , because the crowd has all the
passes , anil the other fellows must stay at
home , pay their fare , or walk , but the lead
Is not dangerous by these figures , even when
It is considered that Stunlevant will notTbo
on the odlclal ballot , and those twenty-six
votes will be for Holcomb.
O'Neill Tribune : Tlie railroads are fighting
Holcomb and have gone so far as to threaten
to discharge every man who does not vote
for Majors. At the coming session of the
legislature the question of railroad regula
tion will cut an Important part and the
railroads Unow that they can expect no
more than justice from the- hands of Hob
comb. The railroads received good service
from Majors once In defeating railroad Icgls-
latlon and they know they wilt have use
for Just such a man this winter ; hence
their desperate effort to elect Majors.
Stanton Picket : A prominent republican
asserted In our hearing one dsy this week
that all the republicans who are now "howl-
Ing" against Tom Majors will walk up and
vote for him election day. That man places
a lower estimation on republican prlnclpk-s.
or the principles of republicanism than we
do. Wo know that many republicans wlio
do not like Majors and da not believe in
his honesty will vote for him , but we also
believe that tlierc arc others , and many of
them , too , who place honesty aboveparly
and who will not vote for Majors , or any
other man with an established character
as black as bis , when the alternate Is pre
sented them of voting for an honest and
honorable man , though be be a pomillst.
We for one do not believe tliat manly prin
ciples has lost all hold upon the masses of
the republican party.
. Blair Courier : The State Journal Is so
badly scared that it is , figuratively speaking ,
down on Its knees begging democrats to
vote for Tom Majors. I'oor old Journal , It
feels that Its liold on the public tent Is
gradually slipping and thai unless voters
can be. wheeled Into supporting the tat
tooed outfit , sooner or later nothing- will be
left but a dark-brown tnste In Its mouth.
If there Is utiy good reason why democrats
should lend their aid to assist the Journal
In keeping its note In the public crib , will
some one please mention It. No , fellow
democrats , thereis no good reason ; the
Journal has no use for a democrat , and
never did have , except to use him for Its own
aggrandizement , anil should you be so fool
ish as to cast your vote- for the corporation
tool backed by the Journal , you would In the
end simply be guyed for a sucker.

Atlanta Constitution : Tlie main reason why
those outrages are so common Is because the
highwaymen Imvo generally found the train
men and passengers easy to surprise , and
without any weapons for defense. Our rail
way and express companies can easily change
all this. A few determined men with re
volvers on . train would be more than a
match for twice their number of robbers.
The experiment Is worth trying.
San Francisco Chronicle : Tlie Atlantic

overland train on the Centra ] 1'aclflc a lot of
robbers secured a big pile by capturing a
train on tlie Krcdi-rickburK & I'otomac rail
road almost In tight of Die capital of the
country.
Philadelphia Press : Hnlding up trains
within sight of the Washington monument
and within a mile of the capital of California
may be regarded as exhibition * of the new
form ol highway robbery which reach the
very summit of audacity. It should not be

they have become common.
Kansas 041 y Star : A New York paper

Missouri's method of checking train robbers

Philadelphia Record : The average Euro
