It must be jiratlfylntf to the reader *

subjects which lie selected before his
departure- for the Illumination of the
American public through the press has
utmost run down , but It will be
replenished Immediately after the doc
tor's arrival In this connlry. This syndi
cate sermon has reason to see new llfo
ahead.
The light In Nebraska has ed
down to 11 straight-out Issue en
confederated corporations on tlio uuu
Bide and the masses on the other. Majors
is backed by the corporations , who
openly decluro I heir support. Holcomb
la backed by the people ami hotly op.

Voters nru left but one choice in ( his
contest. If they are In favor of : cor-
ixtratlon rule In our courts , our legisla
tures nnil parly con veil I Ions they will

Thomas J. Majors.
Two years ago the nll-absorblng Issue
In Nebraska , as In every other Htate ,
wan republican supremacy In national
affairs. The ik > .ipirnle attempt made by
tli'iiuicvals ' to take Nebraska out of I ho
republlcaii coin in ti hnd to he met by up-
peals to fopiiblU'inis lo stand shoulder
to Hlioiildor , regardless of fiU'llouul dlf-
fer nc < ' ,
Two yeiim ago' tlie standard bearer
of the party was nut only a man of
MpolIi-.xH Integrity , but n man whoso rec
ord was unassailable. .Iiul e Crounse
was no ) only sound nn national Issues ,
ItirliidliiK lilt ; tarlH'anil the ciirroncy ,
hut he was known lo be In accord with
Ilic pledges the purly had made In Its
si u 111 phiforiu for railway refutation
and a reasonable maximum rate law.
Wllh such a candidate The Bee could
truthfully assert that Ihe business in-
lero.-its were nmrc safe than they would
have been In tin1 hands of a populist
governor.
'
All things being equal , The ISee would
have laken the same position this year ,
although the experience of the last two
years bus dispelled much of the fear
that populism meant disaster to the
credit of any utate In which It doml-
nates. Hut the
conditions this year are
not the same as Ihose of two years ago.
The election of Judge Ilolcomb will not
Jeopardize republican supremacy In na
tional affairs. On the contrary , it will
strengthen the party for the contest of
I SIMS by purging It of corruption and
emancipating It from the pernicious In
terference of the democratic railway
fjciir. If Majors Is defeated this year
the state house ring that has scandal-
Issed the republican party will be broken
up to the benefit and credit of the state
and the railroad managers will fliul it
lo their advantage lo keep their hands
off of republican conventions.
The Issue two years ago was In behalf
of republican principles and
u republi
can form of government. The Issue this
year is , shall the people rule Nebraska
or shall the state government bo stir-
rendered lo tin * control of confederated '
monopolies and public plunderers ? In
such ii routes ! no conscientious republi
can can range himself with the classes
against the masses. The way to restore
the republican party to popular confi
dence is to place Integrity and good
ri'L'imiont above mercenary considers * , *
'onsiind temporary iiartlsiiu advantage.

IJeadjnslment of the business of tin
country to the changed conditions under -
ile : LOW tailir Is , nc oul ng to nil autlien-
tir reports , making progress , and then-
Is reason to expect that in due coin-so
we shall rcliini to a normal state of
business activity and general prosper-
ity. In order to- realize this , however ,
within a reasonable time the Industrial
interests of the country must lu > assured
of a period of pence and of complete
freedom from all disturbing and linnet-
tllng agitation , both as to the tariff and
sentlal thing now to a complete recovery
from distrust and depression. How ,
shall such assurance be given ? Manl-
festly not by continuing In control of '
the national house of representatives '
the party whose policy is In a very largo ,
measure responsible for the disastrous
conditions of the past year and a half.
That party does not promise peace. * On
the contrary Its leaders avow their tmr-
pose to go on with the work they havecot
commenced of tearing down the protec * !
lion defenses. There are supplemental
tariff bills that were passetl by thu
house now on the calendar of the senate
and they will undoubtedly bo called tip
for consideration very soon after the
beginning of Ihe next session. The
leaders are pledged to do tills. Oilier .
measures will very likely be Introduced (
in the house and if
may bo passed by that
body. If the. tloinuerutH are permitted i "
to retain control of the house in the
' I
l-'lfty-fonrth congress that fact will en
courage them to go on with this "war"
on protection. They will naturally re
gard It ns n demand from the people eto n
do this. It will make no difference 1C "
the popular majority should be largely
wllh the republicans. Hiiorinons repub-
llcan majorities may bo rolled up In republican -
publican districts or republican states
mid nothing accompllslu > d. :
It Is within Hie range of possibility for :
the republicans to gain n great popular :
victory and yd fall to loosen the hold : :
of ( ho democrats Idv
UJHIII the federal
gov :
ernment. Such n poplar victory would
exert little or no intliience If the liotiso
remained In democrntlc control , but If ,
on the other liiind , It carried with It the
election of a republican house It would
have a powerful intliience In checking
the aiitl-pi'oteetlou crusade. It would
settle the fate of the supplemental tariff
bills now In the senate and any others >
that might be sent there , and its prob
able effect would be to put an end teat
agllatlon and to further attempts at
tariff tinkering. It would strengthen
the conservative demo.rats of the senate
In their position , and It would be a de-
mum ! upon the republican minority leof
that body to use every privilege and
prerogative at Us command to defeat
further assaults upon the principle of
protection. There cannot be a reason
able doubt that in the event of the
election of a republican house of repre
sentatives on November 0 n great stimulus
ulus would bo given to the work of Industrial
dustrial and business readjustment , be
cause such n result would beget con-
tldence that wo should have a period
peace. Tlio election of a "democratic
house , on the oilier hand , would cer i
tainly bo followed by n return of ills-
trust a il depression , with consequences
quite as damaging us any thu country
has experienced.
Uvery voter who desires to see thu
Industries of the country agulu In ac-1 1 c
live operation , a revival of fionornl Inisl-
ness nnd n return of prosperity will
support republican candidates for con
gi-osi The signs nt UIH ! lime , two
week * before thu day of election , are
very favorable to the election of ft re
publican house , but Ihete Is n large
democratic majority to be overcome , and
that party Is making a trenu-ndoiiH ef
fort to retain Its control of the legislative
tlvo branch of the government. Ue-
publicans nowhere must allow lee great
conlldence to beget Indifference and
neglect of duty. Nebraska ought to
he represented In the rifly-foiirth con
gress by six republicans.

The | , law which governs elections In
Nebraska | : under what Is known as the
Australian ballot system provides two
different ( ways In which candidates may
become en titled to have their names
printed | upon the otllclal ballots. The
llrsl [ ( Is by certlllcate of nomination of
a convention , committee or primary
meeting , , and n convention or primary
meeting within the meaning nf the act
Is an organized iiMxcinlilngo of voters
or delegates representing a political
party which at the lasl election before
( be holding of the meeting polled nt
leasl 1 per cent of the entire vote cast
Iti the stale , county or oilier division
or district for which the nomination Is
made. The second Is by tilingcertill -
elites of nomination , signed by u pre-
scribed number of electors residing
within the district or political division
for which the ollicers are to lie elected ,
TiOO in case of a slate ollice , > n in case
of n city or county ollice. 'M for au
ollice to be tilled by Hie electors of a
towiHhip , precinct or wnrd. and so on.
Whichever method Is adopted , the cer-
titlcate , besides containing the name and
residence and place of business of each
.
person , must "designate In not more
thai live words the party or principle"
which the convention , committee , primary -
mary , , , meeting or petitioners represent.
Tin- only object held In view In provid-
lug for the addition of a party deslgnam
lion lo the names on the oflirial ballot
Is to ( simplify the exen-Ne of the Fran-
elds for the voter. It is iiuile concelv-
able that where the constituency is mi-
usually Intelligent an election could be
held without dltileulty witli ballots pre-
.settling nothing but the mimes of the
candidates , and the nillces for which
they | have been nominated. Hut as men
stand for parlies and principles the
. .
.H. ( ) |
facilitated by giving each a parly
designation. Since , however , the party
designation is Intended to .simplify mat-
ters for the voter , Its use should not be
. , ' , . ,
him. [ [ , There tire certain designations
associated | In the public mind with par-
tlculur parties and whose use is neces-
sarl'y exclusive lo their accredited repre-
seittatlves , so If a candidate should an-
llclpate all conventions by filing a pet Ilion I-
lion eertlliente , assuming to himself the
appellation republican or democrat , It
would clearly be In order for the proper
authorities lo Interfere to see that the
designation of a well known parly Is
jiot usurped.
, . ,
, There have been Instances of fraudu
lent use of party designations and there
are Innumerable experiments of this
kind that are yet to be tried. Only
lust year in Douglas county one canill- j
dull * attempted to have his name put
upon the olllclal ballot with a comblna-
tlon designation , designed to mislead
the voters of two different political par-
tics. An injunction issued by one of
the local courts put n sudden end to
the scheme. Again In Pennsylvania
the courts were last week called upon
. ? decide ' upon a somewhat similar case.
The democrats of
. . a particular senatorial
district and failed to unite upon any (
candidate and their convention ad
journed ' . without making a nomination.
Thereupon the two leading aspirants
each filed their petition certificates , and
each . claimed the party designation
"democratic. " Kach appealed to the
court , only to be told that neither had
usecured a democratic nomination and
[
that both would have to invent other
.
designations.
So fat1 us Iho Nebraska slate ticket Is
concerned ' this year , the use of the term '
'stralght democrat" by the democratic
,
rump ! nominees will mislead no one. '
verybody knows that the rump ticket
has ' ! been put up solely In the Interest
Ute rcpub'kan tattioed candidateand
no considerable number of democratic
voters will be Induced to throw away
heir votes by so shallow a trick , fete
political advantage can be gained fey
such perversion of a law designed to
nsslst Hie voter to u more ut
use of the ballot.

The protest filed by the German gov
ernment against the discriminating fea
ture of the sugar schedule of the pres
ent tariff law may Induce congress sto
make such a modtllcatlou of the act !
as will prevent any retaliatory action
on the part of Germany , but , in the I
event of this not being done , there is
reason to expect legislation by that gov-
eminent that will have serious results 1C
for the United States. Very few people
have any adequate conception of what lo
was accomplished under the reciprocity
tfause of the McKlnley tariff1 act In the
Interest of American trade with Ger-
many. There can be no question that
without that provision the interdict of
the German government against the 1m- of
portatlon of American pork products
would have been maintained , and that
wo should be today bunding more of
these products to the German markets. '
All the Inllneiice of the ngrnrian cle-
mi'iit in the German
empire was opposed
hu
posed to making any concession to this
country , unil the government was only
Induced to do so in the Interest of thu
sugar producers.
Not only did this interest enable us lo
sectiro u revocation of the edict against
our meat products , but it also obtained \
concessions In furor at other American
products , 5J1.T.Affect of which 1ms beea
highly beneficial lo our ngrlcnltnral pro
ducers. We ijuinot reasonably expect
to retain I hosa ad vantages If we adhoru
to a policy illicit Involves n dlscrtmlwero
nation against. German sugar , and one
which Iliat govertiment not uujuslly ve *
gards as especially damaging. The one-
tenth of a cent against sugar Imported
froiu countries paying a bounty In ex
ports of NUgnr tlie Gernniiw government
regards : i * | utrttciilarly Inimical to Its
Interests , and It has given notice that
it will not quietly submit to this tils-
crimination which It claims not only
violates ilu > terms of reciprocity , but Is
also a violation of the "favored nation"
clause of our commercial treaty Avltlv
Germany. Kvom every point of view It
seems evident that we have gone wrong
in this | matter , nnd that we must make
ll cltnuge ' In the law so fur , at any rate ,
ls Germany Is concerned.
There is u suit now pending In Ilic
stale supreme court to recover the stale
funds deposited by ex-TreasurcL' Hill in
the defunct Mosher bank nt Lincoln.
Hill is defendant in this suit and the
amount involved Is nearly ijc..MUKX ) .
When Illll was treasurer several Omaha
capitalists signed his bond , and they
are made parlies to the suit by I ho state.
Governor ( 'rounso appointed Judge
Wiikeley lo projectile the case , and if
In tlie end tin ; court shall decide ad
versely " to the state's Interests it will
not be Judge Wakeley's fault , lint the
.
governor has the authority to appoint
another attorney to prosecute this im
portant ' ' cisior ; he may dismiss Judge
\Vakoloy and leave the case In the hands
of Ihe ' attorney general. Now , what
.
on.NV'1 happen In case Thomas J. Majors
should ' be elected governor of Nebraska ?
Would ! . . he not he under obligations to

by . Majors thai , If elected , he nill dis
miss Judge Wakeley as attorney In the
suit ' against Illll and his bondsmen and
let ' * _ the ' state whistle for Us money ? Or ,
arc they really actuated by patriotic
motives ' in their desperate efforts lo

closely allied to potty blackmail. It

cully tlio same thing in the sale of tick

,
balls. , . ' , It N : i practice thai ought to be
dl.scoui.iged.
A dispatch from Lincoln to nn out-of-
town paper may perhaps throw some
light upon the motive behind the demo
cratic rump persistence. It says that
the one object to be attained In placing
the "straight democratic" candidates
on ) the olllclnl ballot by petition is to
maintain the organization of the admin
istration wing and lo give il a claim to
representation in the next democratic'
national convention. The rumps might
possibly have yielded gracefully to the
loss of the stale machinery , but they
will not consent to give up their na l-
tional commlttoeman and their connec
tion ( ) ) with the national organisation with
out another tight. If they cannot re i
gain | control at Urn state convent Ion In
IS'.i , " they will carry the light into the
democratic national convention in 1SJMS.
All of which Is very interesting' even
now , although it does not constitute n
very plausible explanation of their will
for the election of a railroad republican
to the governorship of Nebraska.
The number of people who make use
of the newly macadamized county
roads for driving purposes these beau
tiful days attest the popularity of paved l
countiy roads. It must be admitted
that just at present the macadam pave
ments make Ideal driveways , and it Isle
lo bo sincerely hoped that they will
withstand the wear and tear nnd re
main In Iho same condition for n rea
sonable length of time. It Is lee early
yet to pass final Judgment upon these
roads. When they shall have gone
through the hardships of a cold winter
and a wet spring It will be time to say
whether the ujcporlmcitt Is a complete >
miecess.

There are many estimates being
Blven to the public liy the Majors
organs these days us to the vote
of th6 elate , and they all show that the tat
tooed candidate will be elected by pliiri1l- ;
lles ranging from 5,000 to 30,000. They have
various ways of arriving al their conclusions ,
but they all count on from 10,000 to 15,000
democratic and 2,000 populist votes for Ma
jors. That these figures arc given Hlmply to
bolster up the wunlng hopes of the rank and
IIlo Is made evident by the comments at
tached to them. In nearly every case the

Washington Star : Tlio discrimination
against Mr. Morton's new coachman has
palpable signs of Injustice about It. U Is
not at all probiibtu that Mr. Morton would
seek to employ a man In this capacity who
was not "a hartlst with the ribbons. "
New York Evening Post : Even If the
coac'hman dill not come within the exceptions
of the law that Is , was not "a domestic
servant" the attempt to annoy a. political
oppanent In the mldJle of a canvass by raids
on li's household would have been Infinitely
mean , silly and spiteful. Itul only a block
head would have conceived tlie Idea that a
coachman Is not "a. domestic servant , " and
that that blockhead should have been foun.l
high up in the United States civil service Is
certainly most mortifying.
Ch'cag-o Tribune : The dirty trick whicli
Secretary Carlisle has played upon Mr. Levl
P. Merion Is the smallest nnd meanest busi
ness in which a high ofllclal in this country
was ever engaged. The law under which it
Js proposed to send John James Howard back
to England specially
exempts peisons em-
plos-ed as personal or domestic servants. If
John James Howard , Mr. Morton's coachman.
Is not a personal or domestic servant , what
In the name ot common sense Is ? If Mr.
Morton had -not been running for governor
the suit wouM never have been brought.
Neither Secretary Carlisle nor any other mous
ing democratic politician would have thought
of Interfering with Mr. Morion's private af
fairs.

of enlisting Indlmta as ttoldlora. Some of
the organizations have been dlsbinded and
the men discharged at tlie expiration of
their terms of service , and nome others will
likewise bp ended. "In other cases , " he
Hays , "the Indian has proved to bo u thor
oughly reliable , well-disciplined and elllclent
soldier , and it Is not ililllcult to estimate
the prcportlonn cf the tribes to which such
soldiers belong" win would be trustworthy
in time of war. It Is now , he says , simply
a question of i > ollfy "how many of these
reliable Indians flhull be retriliu-d In serv
ice , nnd for wlml length of time. " General
Schofidd does not state what the tribes
arc that furnish gi-od , soldiers , but nothing
la hazarded in supposing Unit the Sioux
are prominent ninoni ? them. The Sioux are
e-aslly at the lieiui of all the Indlnns In
Intellectual capacity anrl the readiness to
acquire civilization In whatever form It pre
sents Itpelf. Consequently Ihey make the
best soldiers. IHit there are other tribes
who are capable. It would seem , that thi-
enlistment of IndliuiB Into the nrmy must
bean Important advance In rulllvatlng the

which they will nil shortly be exercising-

The Indictment by the federal grand jury
at C'litcugo of several oltlclals nnd shippers
of the Atchlson roiu ] fur violating the
rt-
liato prohibition clause of the interstate
commerce law Is- one of the must gratifying
proceedings In tlie Interest of Justice which
linn ! been reported for n long time. Indict
ment , of rourfe. Is only a lirst step. These
parties will tight the liriv lo the hitter end.
W they should be proserutml to the ut
most limit of the law. The Atcldsnn olll-
fliils within a few years gave $7,000,000 In
rebates to favored shippers and wronged tlie
small shippers proportionately. This has
been going on on nearly all the roads under
tin Interstate commerce law. Under a re
cent division the commission has ( lie power
toan scrutinize books nnd papers of shippers
and the companies and secure needed testi
mony. In the Interest of law , order and
honesl dealing , the government should not
allow Itself to be shunted off from this case ,
whatever may be the standing1 of the
par
ties. No more consideration should be shown
them than to the commonest sneakthlcf In
the land. The whole rebate system should
be broken up. Tt Is a suicidal policy for
tin railroads find an outrage upon the great
urmy of email shippers.
