It begins to look ns If the decision on the maximum freight rate case were not to be inule : pulillc until the glvis tlie word.

The Manufacturers and Consumers as sociation will be kept busy for months plugging ut ] the blowholes In the tnule of Nebraska wholesalers and Jobbers now being made by the allies of the rail road candtdnle for governor. Ex-Frcsltlont Harrison's promised speech In Now York on Wednesday will be looked for with nnnsnul interest by all the politicians , pnrtlcnlnrly those who have been hesitating sin to which way the bn-exe of ' ! ) ( Is blowing. At lust the ofllclals of the Immigration bureau have discovered that It Is uot Mr. Morton's coachman who Is a candi date for governor of New York , and their zeal ( o send him buck to I 7ngland lins abated In a corresponding degree . Suggest to the bankers and business men who have signed ( lie railroad man ifesto tlmt it Is necessary for them to employ a dishonest man to take charge of their affairs In order to restore thulr credit and they will laugh you out of countenance. No one who hopes to see the state re cover the innney lost In the Capital Na tional bunk wreck should fall to register his protest against placing the control of the case ngalnst the bondsmen of the Into state treasurer In the hands of Ihe candidate who Is part and parcel with the ring. Tom Is noted for his generosity. He was oct'o the author of n resolution authorizing the members nud employes of tin * legislature to appropriate und carry off the furniture which the tax V , payers had paid for. The fact that the furniture did not belong to him ought not to detract from Tom's reputation for generosity. There Is no opposition to the Intersec tion paving bonds , so that the only dan ger to this proposition lies in the possi bility of voters neglecting to express themselves upon It. A failure to vote on the paving bonds Is eiiulvulent to a vote ngnlust them. Everyone who wants to see public Improvements go forward In Omaha next season should record him self In favor of the paving bonds. It Is Intimated that the reason why President Cleveland refused to register In New York Is because he had grave doubts as to whether he still retains n legal residence In that city. If this In terpretation of the law should become the commonly accepted one , we shall not bo surprised some day to see the president of the United States resigning his ofllce In order to recover the elective franchise * . \ Our business men who are so anxious to stand up for Omaha might exert their Influence with the management of the Klklioni road to bring the fust train that Is soon to run between Chicago jind the Ulaek Hills u little closer to Omnlm than Missouri Valley. The new sched ule leaves Omaha out of the course en tirely and thus takes all the northwest- em tratlle by without stopping In or even passing through this city. Omnlia would certainly derive marked bcneilts from a change that would give her a Kluiro of the trulllc. It Is something worth trying for. Every ono must ndmlro the courage With which Princess Alls : enters Into matrimonial alliance with the heir to the Iliisslan tlii-ono. The czarcwltcli , It la true , might , If ho wished , renounce the succession , but he finds himself in Ills present position by mere accident of blrtli. Ho could not escape the plots 01 nihilists and other enemies If ho wished The prim-ess , however , assumes the risks knowingly nnd voluntarily. To her It Is a duty which she has to per form to maintain the royal house. It is R duty that Involves courage nntl self- wcrlflco which few can appreciate. KKKV TUK JtCM.'f-KTK TX Wtl' Let It bo borne In mind tiy every voter In Nebraska that tbo desperate effort made by the confederated corporations nnd state house ring of boodlers to elect Thomas J. Majors Is not In the Interest of good govcinmcnt or for the protection oC the credit of the state. The rnllronil malingers want Majors because , and only because , they know they can use him for defeating every measure that lends to curtail their power to levy tribute on our producers and keep up the system of discrimination nnd favor itism by which they have been able to dominate the state , The railroad man agers want Majors because they want a mnn In the governor's chair who will veto the maximum rate bill if It Is de clared defective on technical grounds by Judge Krcwer and will have to be re- enncted before it can go into effect. The stale house ring wants Tom Ma jors to help them bridge the chanm which Mosher's collapsed bank created In the state treasury nnd place them In condition to continue the plundering schemes by which the state treasury has been looted out of over : i million dollars within the last ten yours. I/nst , but not least , Ihe bondsmen who have been called Into court lo make good the ? litl,000 : ( and Interest lost to the stntc by Mosher's forgeries and swindles want Majors elected to give them a chance to get from under that bond. Those various interests are all banded' together under pretense of averting cal amity and general ruination of tlie bus iness Interests if nu honest man , who hns never trained with political footpads and highwaymen , should be elected to the olllce of govetnor. AVIth these facts held In view the Intelligent and con scientious citb.cn will be in condition to stand lip for Nebraska nnd her credit vlthont stumbling Into a railroad cul- ert covered by republican colors. ; KT THE isoAitn HA't'ouc > : fr. The Qmaha Hoard of Health should > lther attend to Its legitimate business > r be abolished. Thu business of the toard of Health Is not to boom cumu lates and levy blackmail upon butchers 'or political barbecues. Its function is o protect the health of the community from contagion nud see to It that stale egetnbles nnd tainted meats shall not ) e sold to consumers. The board idopted a resolution some months ago rolilbitliig nil of Its employes from nud- lllng with politics , but this order Is lonorcd In the breach rather than In the lerformance. Theie has ni-ver been the slightest attempt niadi ; to enforce It. Julio the contrary , the employes have been allowed to pack primaries and at- end conventions while drawing pay for 'till time. The most blatant nnd defiant jmploye of the board is Meat Inspector frank. lie has not only persisted in Icfyiug orders , but has taken it upon ilmself to hold up butchers for con- libutlons to a political barbecue. A nore scandalous abuse of power 1ms or been attempted by any public ofll- eer. It stands to reason that tlio ack rs and lintel c s \ \ ho have conipPcd vlth his demand for oxen and sheep will lie let alone , no matter whether hey violate4he health ordinance or not , vhlle the -butchers who do not con- rlliute will be on the black list. This is n nice state of affairs for n : ity like Omaha. Is It not about time for ho Board of Health to give Inspector frank a permanent vacation and let him joss politics for n living ? If the board lees not take action it will show clearly : hat It has outlived Its nscfulnesH as a lealth Hoard and should be abolished. City olilrlals have a right to vote as they lease , and when they are not on duty hey may attend political meetings , lint when they spend moat of their time in lulhlozlng voters and levying tribute upon parties whose business conies inder municipal supervision they should ,10 , displaced by men who will not scan- llze the department with which they ire connected. IKCUMR TAX fCOT TI1K ISSUE. The New York Hun has been for a week or longer exerting the most frantic I'lTorts to make the repeal of the Income tax the Issue lu the pending campaign ind It has succeeded in drawing out ex pressions from nearly all the congres sional candidates In New York City , without regard to party lines , condemn- ng the existing luctmiu tax law and [ iromlslng both to vote and to work for Its repeal. The Bun , however , has not lieen able to subordinate other questions to this one question. In other states the congressional nomli.ees have In some cases explained where they stand on the Income tax proposition , but lu none of them Is the battle being fought upon this line. Whether Ihe house goes de no- cratft ! or republican , therefore , the people ple will not know whether It means a majority in favor of or against the re tention of the Income tax. TUe reason why th Income tax hns been , as it were , temporarily shoved into the Imckgiound , seems to be that It has not yet really gone into effect , and no one is in a position to say what the act ual results of Its enforcement are to be. The now law provides for n tax upon the Income derived during the current year , but that tax does not become pay able until the beginning of the year 18.S. The poor have not been lightened of any burdens by It up to this time. ISut neither have the rich been forced to pay the very obnoxious tribute to the tax collector. The Income tux under the present law is nn unknown quantity. The people know no more about it aliice thu law was enacted than they did when the proposition was debated lu congress. It mny be taken for granted tlmt the republicans In congress will , as a rale , be opposed lo the Income tax aud favor able to Its repeal. A small minority of the democrats will be In agreement with the majority of the * republicans npou thin point , but there will ha such differences of opinion as to what should take Us place tlmt Uio prospect of new revenue legislation cannot be very brilliant The exigencies of the treasury will not per mlt it to glvo up the expected Income tax receipts without substituting some thing lu their stead. What shall bo thu substitute is where the opponents of the tax will divide. Even were the pitI dent Inclined to approve an act to do away with thu Income tar provision ui the law ho would scarcely approve one that carried with It the restoration o , any of the protective tariff duties. In n word , even If the Income tax were thu sstie of ( Ills campaign and n nmjortly against It wore secured In liotli houses of congrcsa , It would Btltl bo very un- Ikcly Hint any legislation looking to Is repeal would run ilio gauntlet of the executive nitniHloit nnd be flnnlly pro mulgated ns law. All tha appeals that iho Now York Sun may print cannot nako nil lucoitie tax Issue for the coining election. * COHKIlKtfT Aftl ) CO.VKISTWAT. Hx-llegent Marplo , who belongs ( o Ilie class of political fungi that thrive on mllroml pap , has seen lit to take for his ext In n speech before n university club at Lincoln the Incouststi'm-les of The tee nnd Its editor. According to the Uurllngton Journal Mr. Mitrplo re- amped what The Bee hail en Id concern- UK the IHiiess of David II. Mercer for i pinco In congress two years ago and vhat It said of him at the opening of the ire-sent campaign. To a innii oE Mr. Mar- lie's makeup , who sees nothing Improper n the debauchery of lawmakers by Kild lobbyists , the standard set up by The Bee for aspirants to higher olllco nay seem lee exacting. But men who consider probity and mural rectitude as essential prerequisites for positions oftener toner and trust take a different view from that of ( lie spectacular Mr. Mnrplc. As n matter of fact , The Hoe hits been consistent and honorable In dealing with Mr. Mercer , as he will acknowledge him self. It would have been Inconsistent nnd illshonest for The Bee to land Mr. Mercer in his first canvass in the face of the fact Hint its editor IH on record n the volumes of testimony taken be- 'ore the senate railroad committee and : lie Pacific railroad commission regard- ng Mr. Mercer's funnel * vocation as a > : ild lobbyist. On this point The Bee LIB no retraction to make or apology to offer. In commending the conduct of Mr. Mercer since he has boon In con gress and crediting htm with the good vork he has done The Jleo hns shown tself capable of doing what Its tra- luccra have never 'admitted. It has lever failed to treat all public men "airly. It commends them when they render good service nnd condemns them vlien they betray public confidence. What object had Mr. Marplo In re calling at this time the unpleasant hlngs The Bee had said concerning Mr. Mercer ? Was it for the purpose of dc- u'eeatlng what The Hoe had said in his 'avorV Was it not really a cowardly ; tab In the back of a man who has dis- anced him In the race for political pro- 'erment. A COAL ll'l II With the foretaste of winter we are laving consumers of coal will learn with satisfaction that a war seems hn- nlniMit aiming the anthracite coal pro- Utcing and carrying companies , the ef fect of which would , of course , be to educe the price of coal. The monthly neetlng of the sales agents of the coal companies was held In Xew York last week , and it is noted tlmt for the first line In several years the meeting ad- onrned without : adopting any resolu- lon concerning the restriction of the output of coal for the month of Novem- ier. It Is said the result will he : lmt the various producers will iriine to the full capacity of Hie market. The meeting went through the formality of ordering an advance in circular prices ir November , but with unr slrlcted pro- Inclion and active competition in all ii'arkets u cutting of prices will be In- 'vltable. The ofllchil circular prices are not being egarded generally , cuts from them liav- ngbeen made in various markets. The idvanee In prices ordered for Novem ber are regarded in the trade as made argely for effect , the idea being that they might cover up the disagreement imong tlie larger interests regarding reduction , even though they did not re sult In netting better prices for conl to the producers. A conservative estimate of tht amount of anthracite coal that will 1)0 ) mined In November in the ab sence of a restrictive agreement Is 4.2.TH.OOO to 4,7r > 0,000 tons. This amount has only been exceeded In .lime last , when , under the Influence of the soft coal miners' strike , the output of anthra cite reached about ! i , ! iO,000 tons , every company having worked Its mines to heir full lapnctly to get out this amount of cotil. Since June the output has not been reduced in proportion to the de creased demand consequent iipon the resumption of production of soft coal , so that a great deal of anthracite must have gone Into stock or been marketed In I lu west at low prices , the latter probably being the case. Assuming that to be so , the future demand Is likely to be below the usual amount , which , to gether. with tin unrestricted output , would certainly compel a lower range of prices. The existing situation Is tile result of competition with the anthracite pool. made up of the great companies tlmt produce nearly tiie entire output of hard coal. This competition consists of the New York , Ontario & Western and the New York , Husquehnnnu & Western roads , which arranged for handling an anthracite tonnage independently of the older companies. Delng refused a share of the pool business , these two com panics began marketing coal at cut prices , nnd they succeeded In bringing the pool to their figures. Then came trouble in the pool , and the differences appear to be of a nature tlmt will bo settled only by radical treatment. That an adjustment will bo reached mny be confidently predicted , for the Interests involved arc not going to make any sac rifices tlmt can be avoided. In the mean time the consumers of anthracite coal will bo benetlted , or nt any rate such of them as are in a position to take ad vantage of the existing conditions. It Is certainly high time that the public be given some advantage , for It 1ms nearly always been compelled to pay Inrge tribute to the greed and .rapacity of the anthracite coal pool. The democrats in Now Yorlc are salil to be doing precisely what the republic nus of Nebraska are doing namely , mak ing use of the state house employes for the clerical work necessary to the pros ccntlou of the campaign. This la , of ionrse , nn abuse to be reprehended , without regard to the party to whoso advantage It accrues. The state em ployes are paid out of the public treas ury to do the public work , and It Is their duty to attend to the same and to make It take precedence of nil private enterprises. To Impress Into the fltTvlf-c of candidates for olllco meu who nn supposed to be engaged In uiblk' business Is the same as levying a tax on thu.t > mniiiuiilty to defray cam paign cxiMjmcs. The mere suggestion of such a Tiling Is enough to prove the vIclouBiiessrofMlic practice. T. J , Majors' record ns lieutenant gov ernor Is one of tireless nnd unremitting service to dm railroads of Nebraska. As president of itho senate lie was the con stant associate ami himn companion of railroad iCirplierH and paid lobbyists. When the maximum freight rate bill was before the Hcnnti * he manipulated every step InUcii to block Its passage and was In close communication with Ihe railroad contingent , ready and will ing at all times to do their bidding. On one notable occasion , when a crisis had icon reached In the consideration of the bill , a railroad lobbyist passed a note up to Majors , who was presiding over the senate. The note read : "Tom : What have we got you there for ? " Tom know what that meant. It was notice from the railroad malingers tlmt he must not be caught napping , at his post of duty when the Interests of the railroads were In Jeopardy. Should the railroads suc ceed hi disfranchising enough voters tel l it Majors In the governor's chair they will then know , and lie will know , what they have got him there fort Mr. Bryan nnd populist co-laborers may talk free nnd unlimited coinage of silver to thulr hearts' content , but Ne braska produces no silver. It Is a na tional Issue. The fight In Nebraska has simmered down to u square contest be tween foufrderuted monopoly on Ilie one side and the masses on the other. The piestlon Is , shall the government of this great state he placed back Into the hands of the people , or shall the corporations continue to usurp every function of gov ernment ? Supporters of Silas A. Hoi- comb nre determined that railroad bosses shall be forced out of politics and compelled to confine their efforts to le gitimate railroad business. That Is till they ask , and they have this year made tp their minds that the people must and shall resume control of the state govern- iieut. The great body of common people comprising four-fifths of the voters of Omaha are watching the action of re- tall merchants In ( lie present campaign. They propose'.ta ' let each merchant make 'ds ' own choice In lending support to a eoriwratlou ctuitlldate for governor ere : o the candidate1 who is being fought by ihe confederated corporations of this state. Ignqrnjiec of the true Issue will exempt no mini. There is not n citizen of Omaha w.hp cannot learn in one hour's time that every device known to political warfare is being resorted to > y the allied corporations to compass the election of T. J , Majors. Against this powerful force Is arrayed the un- Hirchiuieable And conscientious voters of Omalia In support of Judge Ilolcomb. Choose ye tlilsalay whom ye shall serve. Artisans JniuV worklngmen of Omnlm lie dv'Jcrm'no"HliU ' theco if fHirations' shall" not govern this slate at their own sweet will. They know , as everybody else knows , that T. J. Majors Is the candidate of the railroad bosses , who are spending their money and de tailing their agents In every quarter of the state to force Majors upon the people ple of this state. They know that If Majors is elected he will simply be the puppet of the railroads , and will not be [ icrniittcil to represent the great mass of citizens on any Issue involving rail road Interests. They know that Slla.s A. Ilolcomb will , when elected governor oC Nebraska , treat the railroads fairly and that he will see to it that the rights of till the people are protected. lie stands for equality before the law. Certain business men who signed the snve-the-state manifesto are wishing they had not been so ready to do the bidding of the railroad bosses and de positories. They did not stop to con sider what the legitimate results must- be. They now see very clearly that the corporations have led them into n trap which Is bound to cost them many hun dreds of dollars In trade. Their travel ing men come back with empty order books. The country merchant has de clared that lie can buy his goods else where In cities where wholesale mer chants and bnnkers have too much sense to commit the fatal blunder of mixing business with politics. Men who have been working nil sum mer on the B. & M. extension In Wyo ming and Montana are not entitled to vote In Nebraska. Every one of them who attempts to cast a ballot in this state renders himself liable to prosecu tion , and , on conviction , to penal servi tude in the penitentiary. 1'romlses of pardon from Tattooed Tom will not beef of much avail , for the very simple rea son that the railroad candidate will not be in a position to Issue pardons to any one. Whoever attempts to cast a fraud ulent vote nt tha coming election will dose so ut his pe ll.

THK IIKII3I.IX JK.VJ.STJI1' Minneapolis Times : Hohcnlohc-Schll- hiKsfnerst , the new chancellor of Kaiser Wilhelm II , seems to have been well provided with a nnnio when he made hie first en- rance onto the stage of life. A Hlgh-Low- Sclilllliig-l'rlnco Is rather suggestive of high , ow , jack , and the emperor will probably Cur- ilsli the game. Chicago Tribune : In France and Spain ; overmcntal methods are very similar to , hcse of' England. In Germany , however , everything depends upon Ihe mood and whims of the emperor. He can appoint and throw out chancellors at his own tweet will. It would ba better for the government and for the people ple of Germany 1C their parliamentary nethods were more nearly assimilated to the English and If the chancellor had a party nt Ills back In the Reichstag Instead ofb3lne , the mcTO creature ofthe emperor and always at his mercy. If this Is not done some day t will males serious trouble for Germany , St. Paul Pioneer Preis : The resignation of Chancellor von Caprlvl and Count Euhlen- 3rK , president of the Prussian council of ministers , la likely to prove embarrassing to Emperor William * For It Is apparently ths outbreak on the surface of differences which are likely to lead to the disruption of parties as well as the cabinet. The Immediate qucs- : ion at Itsuo seems to have been how to treat the socialists. The chancellor favored a mode-rate policy. Euhlenbsrg wanted sternly radical measures of repression. The latter represents , In nn extreme degree , the Ideas ot government which make socialists. So cialism flourishes In Germany because it is the natural form of the reaction from the mperlal paternalism of the reigning dynasty. 1'ooic CO.IT j Chicago Mall : The sorrows ot the anthra cite coal dealers should soften the hearts of the people who have to buy coal. These dealers have been doing business at a loss. They themselves have said so , and It must be so. "Many causes" are given why this has been so , but they don't need to be re capitulated. The public has complete trust In what the coal dealers say , and when they say business has been done at a loss that Is enough. Chicago Post : The anthracite coal miners ileservo notice for their unusual rapacity. They have developed the business of grinding the faces ot the poor until It has become a "Clence. Families of means usually buy their coal In the summer and curly autumn. Probably the cellars of most well-to-do per sons are filled already. Hut It Is not until the first shrewd days of November that the needy begin to make provision for the cold weather. They buy a ton or a halt a ton at a time , beginning about this period of the year. The conl miners meet the situation with rare discrimination. They promptly raise the price of coal , and continue to add a I1U1& more each month till the winter breaks up. In tfte process the families of the poor are milked drop by drop for the keenest necessity of life. The coal operators grow fat and happy. Their dreams are peaceful , their lives are without worry , but they pros per on the misery of others. From him that hath not shall be taken even that which ha hath. _ _ Ilnnili Offnf llumill.

It IB a matter of satisfaction that thu re ports say that the government will nut con slder that part of the proposition which In vclves the cession of one of the islands to Great Itritaln In the i-vent that the other members of the group are annexed to the United States. Such u cesftlon would meet with much hostility from the people of this country , nnd the United States uhould not permit the acquisition of any territorial In terests In the Hawaiian group by Great Itrltalii or any other European power It would be a nice till IK , ' far England \ U could Induce the Hawaiian government to surrender to It one of the Islands , of which It might eventually make any usu U pleased.

"Almlfihtr "oil , Forbldl" Tlut U the pious exclamation which heads AM editorial In the democratic Cleveland Plain Dealer protesting the return of the lion. Tom Johnson to con Kress. Congressman Johnson lins provided himself with * movable campaign tent and Is con ducting a political circus according to hli own notions. Thcro Is plenty of tongue satico and tieantits In It , and It Is the great nightly attraction of the town. liven those who dislike his free trade doctrine confess that he has done more than nny one else to kindle - dlo general Interest In the approaching elec tion. He U n handsome man , and boar a upon his ample forehead the ulanip of a clear , capable , fearless nnd dominating Intellect , tie hns a strong , clean cut mouth anil reason ably developed lips , B long chin and & de cided jaw , His check bones nro prominent , t' . his eyes full nnd strong nnil htr wears no ' / [ hair on his face , He la fearless nnd pos sesses so much ot egotism that once sure of his motives and principles ho suffers llUlo . , Inconvenience from the quips and criticisms Of the outside world. Uvcry one In Cleveland Is fond ot him , but many agree with the old [ .inner who said , "Totn'll alwuys. be a good man , but he'll never amount to shucks In politics , 'cause he's too durneil ready to spit out what he thinks. " So It happens that Mr. Johnson's circus vt draws a big croud , no matter 1n what part of town or the surrounding country ho chances to pitch Mi lent. It Is the rcgula- . . tfon 100-foot round top circus tent , with two fifty-fool middle pieces. Tiers of Beats extend around the wall canvas , except along ono end , In which a movable platform is 1Heel. ( There Is sawdust on the ground , and the tent Is lighted by gasoline chandeliers around the three center poles , No peanuts are sold In Uio tent , but as a crowd wouldn't feel contented In a tent with out cracking "goober peas , " they procure them In unlimited quantities from stands outside , So with n band with as strong ' lungs as any that over blew braes In a cross roads show , with ushers Beating Ihti throng , with boys hawking single tax tracts , and with halt the crowd munching peanuts. It looks llko a real old-tlmo country clrcm just before the procession begins , The tent Is pitched on a new lot every day. Mr. Johnson speaks every night , and h Is supported by other speakers , all of whom seem to enjoy the novelty of the thine. Mr. Johnson hns already challenged all the most prominent republican speakers In town to debate In his circus lent , and an several of- thein , and a populist leader besides , have accepted , there will bo some rattling shows next week. Some of the swallowtail democrats profess to scorn what they are ple-ased to call "John son's tomfoolery. " To which Jlr. Johnson , In n speech the other night , retorted : "I'd rather the old fogies would bo ngalnst mo this year than not. It's the young men I'm after. The old fellows never learn anything anyhow. " After eiory speech Mr. , _ Johnson Invites the crowd to ask questions. Then there Is fun. Hepubllcans como loaded with the most perplexing queries , which they flrt > at him In volleys. This question and'answcr business Is a good doul llko the dialogues between Master ferryman nnd the ring master , for they keep the ' audlonco In almost continuous guffaws. Sometimes Tom gets the better ot a ques tioner and sometimes ho Is worsted , but It Is all fun for the crowd. The crowd had a great treat the- other night , when Mr. Johnson made humorous and satirical comments on this paragraph from a local newspaper : "Johnson's Juncbcrry Jelly Is represented by the fat fakir to be Iho most wonderful discovery of the closing decade ot th ? nine teenth century. It fs said that from what ever it comes in contact with poverty dis appears. A simple application of It is said to produce warm overcoats for the coatlcss , , - plenty of ready cash for the penniless nnd 1-1 unbounded happiness for Iho sorrowful and Idle -workmen. A skillful analyst has found that the Ingredients contained In the pasty mass are free trade , which la a stow poison found on the Island ot Chaos : single tax , a deadly herb which first took root in the skull of a deceased lunatic , and the essence of the brains of country wreckers. And this Is the concoction that 'Ur. ' Tom L. Johnson has been trying for the last two * < . weeks to palm off on the Intelligent people of the Twenty-first congressional district.
