Judge HaywarJ , In his ipcech at Auburn , allrd attention to a fStt that the people hould read and ponder over. Ho said : Wo must all , regardless ot party , exert urnelvog to elect honest men to represent s In ofTlcc. We have been putting forward n the pant some very corrupt men to repro- ont us , and wo are all to blame for It ; the opubllcans and the democrats are to blame , nd , I am sorry to say , the populists are to lame for It , What wo need on this line s reform , and wo need It right hero In our wn state , and If wo ever get the reform wo ced , we , the common people , must do tt t the primaries , at the convention and at ho polls. " There Is a great deal ot truth n the above. Nebraska City Press. We welcome .Indue Hayward to the ranks of reform. If memory serves us orrectly , the judge nominated tin * Ickory-shlrted swashbuckler from Ne- uiha for governor nt the last republl- an state convention with a speech ulogb.lng his career as exemplary. In he campalg , ! ! he valiantly championed he cause of the tattooed man lu the 'nets ' of a record that was simply hide- nslble. And In all the campaigns be- 'ore this , as far as we can remember , 'udge ' liny ward has refused to diverge 'rom ' the line of support of every rail- oad republican candidate , however ills- epntablc and corrupt , who could pack n ' ( invention nnd * buy his nomination Ither with boodle , railroad passes or iromlses of plunder. It Is this reckless Indifference to the haracter of party nominees and the bject submission to the dictates of cor- Miration managers who persist In con- rolling our state government that has > rought the republican party to the ergo of disruption nnd has alienated mil lost it thousands of conscientious md honest supporters. If we have been Milling forward some very corrupt men o represent us , as Judge Ilayward says , t has been because the party leaders ind those who are looked to for honest counsel have winked at venality and orrnptiou In public olllce and have ipologl/.ed for rascality when It should lave been rebuked and turned down. .ludge Ilayward Is a man of acknowl- dged ability and positive force. Unfor- innately the weight of his Intluence ins been exerted until recently against reform , either within or without the arty , rather than for It. Ills conver sion Is therefore all the more significant. IMl'llUVKMKAT ( SOUS Oi\ * . People who are giving attention to narkots rather than to maxims will llud ibundant reason for taking a cheerful view of tins future. Improvement lu liianclal and Industrial conditions goe. steadily on , with every indication of ontlnnlng. Increased activity In the ndustries , a growing demand for labor , letter wages , rising prices these arc the conditions reported from nearly all iiunrtors of the country which give us- mrance of returning prosperity. The larger earnings of labor have Increased the consumption of almost every clast ) f products and materially accelerated the movement of manufactured goods As heretofore noted , the estimated In crease In the purchasing ability of tin labor of the country within the pasl three months has been at the rate ol not. less than Jf'-'OO.OOO.OOO a year , ant for all the population the Increase hat been much greater than this amount The effect is seen in the augmented dis tribntlon of all kinds of merchandise At the same time financial conlldenet has become stronger and the tendency to Investment has Improved. The sllvei igltation perhaps has some restraining Inlluenee upon capital , but there is rea ion to believe that this will soon coast to operate , for it Is apparent that tin free silver tide Is ebbing and it cnnnoi long withstand the effect of returning prosperity In persuading all classes ol people T'xcept the silver mine owner : and their allies of the falsity of the fret silver arguments. The one uncertainty In the situation I : In regard to the crops and this Is dls appearing. The recent abundant rains widely distributed , have very generally put the crops In condition which give.1 excellent promise of a good yield. Ol course there are possible contlngencle : between now ahd harvest time whlcl may defeat this promise , but at this date the conditions are so favorable as to warrant the expectation of at leas average crops. If this Is realized am there is such an Improvement In tht foreign demand as now seems probable American farmers will have a period o prosperity from which all Interests wll derive benefit. Altogether the prevail Ing conditions are such as to justify tin belief that the revival of industries ant business Is not merely spasmodic , bu lias come to stay , nnd that for severn years at least the United States wll enjoy a good measure of prosperity. / republican house of representative : which does not go out of power untl March , 1S ! > 7 , assures the country agnlns any radical change In the monetary sys turn for fully three years , and with al the probabilities favoring the election o a republican president and congres : next year there appears to be no goot reason why any uneasiness or anxleti should be felt regarding the future o the currency. One year of solid pros perity Js all that Is necessary to effectu ally put an end to the demand for frei silver coinage. NMMIXATK The democratic Philadelphia Time ? which has rather more Indopondenc tlitui most of the papers that supper the democracy , In an article commend Ing the republicans of Kentucky fo their manly stand In favor of hones money , says the time bus come whei bonrbonlsm must bo eliminated fron the politics of the south. "It has hum upon the south like the old man of th sea , " says the Times ; "it has lilnderei Its progress , has delayed its develop ment and until it shall bo overthrow ; there can be no open highway for enlightened lightened progress In that region. " I Is only u short time since Colonel Mi Clniv , the editor of the Times , vlsltei the south and ho therefore speaks fron personal observation and knowledg obtained by contact with the people o that section , so thnt what ho says ma , bu accepted as the statement of ai authority and one capable of renderln a fair judgment. The editor of tli Times makes no revelation , howevei What he says has been long famllla to those who have given Intelligent at tention to the political conditions in ho south. The effort to eliminate jotirbonlsm from the politics of that section has been making for years and only now does there appear to be hope- 'ul promise of success. In the struggle to redeem the south from bourbonlsm ihe greatest dllllculty encountered has jL'cn the Inlluenee of the northern [ lemocrncy , which has. constantly favored and encouraged bourbonlsm be cause It Is absolutely essential to a solid south and a solid south Is absolutely necessary to the democratic party. It Is gratifying to find a democratic paper urging that bourbonlsm must be Unlimited from the politics of the south. It conveys n wholesome admission and Is a cheering sign of moral progress in that quarter. The habit of all demo cratic papers has been to Insist that the south ww : all right In Its politics and to urge the peopleof that section to keep on In the way they were going. When , some time ago , a veteran of democracy , Abrnm 8. Hewitt of New York , told the south In his plain , blunt way some truths regarding the bourbon lsm there , no northern democratic news paper , so far as wo remember , had any thing to say In approval of Mr. Hewitt's honest anil Just arraignment. They could not deny Its truthfulness , but they were careful not to give It any countenance. The fact Is that the demo crats of the north have always done obeisance to the bourbonlsm of the south and they are not now prepared to change their course In this respect , be cause they know that whenever bour- bonlsm shall be eliminated from the politics of that section and Its demo cratic solidarity thereby destroyed there will be an end of the present democratic party. The stronghold of the democracy Is the solid south and the cornerstone of that political structure Is bourbonlsm. Knllghtcn the voters of the south , secure to every citizen there a free ballot , guard the ballot box against fraud and at once the south will cease to be the stronghold and bulwark of democracy and the party must go to pieces or re form upon new lines. With this cer tainty to face the northern democrats generally will not be disposed to do any thing looking to the elimination of hour- bontsm from the politics of the south. Still there Is reason to hope that this will in time be accomplished. There are Influences now operating In that direction from which good results are to be expected. If the republicans carry Kentucky this year , and the outlook Is favorable , it would lie a blow to hour- bonlsin that would weaken It In every state of the south. ; AM ) TIIK COU11TS. Organized labor throughout the land regards the recent decision of the United States supreme court In the Debs contempt case as the entering ; wedge for the subjugation of the wage earning masses. Resolutions expressing the 'sympathy of laboring people will : the Imprisoned president of the Ameri can Hallway union have been adopted in the labor centers and the action ol the court has been In some Instances de nounced in severe terms as a denial ol the rights guaranteed by Magna Charta and incorporated Into the federal consti tution. At the labor meeting Just held in thi * city the following resolutions were adopted : Hesolved , That we , the worklngmen o ; Omaha , as a mass meeting assembled , denounce nounco the action of said court as arbl trary and unjust and calculated to destroj the confidence of the masses In the Integrltj of the judiciary of the United States , and b < It further Uesolved , That we call upon all llhertj loving citizens in the United States to de nounce the action of said court. These resolutions will bo construed ir certain quarters as anarchistic and revo lutionary. While they do not In sc many words charge the justices of the supreme court with being corrupt , thej leave the Inference that they have will fully nnd deliberately misinterpreted the law and usurped powers not vested In them. We believe the worklngmen make si very grave mistake when they impugr the Integrity of the whole fedora' judiciary. There are doubtless judges on the supreme bench whose natural in clinatlons and sympathies 'are by train ing anil long association with the greai railway corporations. The > se Judge. might be Inclined to stretch the powers of the Judiciary as far as possible li the direction most favorable to the rail way owners. It Is not conceivable however , that all the judges of tin supreme court would Join In in the de clsion denying the application of Mi- Debs for a writ of habeas corpus tiniest the grounds for such action were li accord with the principles governing all such cases. In enunciating the doctrine that tin operation of railways engaged in inter state commerce Is under national super vision and protection and that any interference feronce Interrupting railway trallli comes within the purview of the fedora authorities , military as well as civil , tin court has forced upon the country tin necessity of exercising Its power both it respect to the railroad companies am their patrons as well as to the nillwa : employes. In other words , the supromi coin-in nationalizes all railroads as pub He highways whoso operation must hi uninterrupted. The responsibility fo : protecting the operation of the roads 1 : with the federal government ; the ro sponslblllty for keeping the lines li operation Is with the railroad com panics. The next thing In order wll therefore be congressional leglslatloi that will enforce upon the cotnpnnle fair treatment of railway men and llv Ing wages to their employes whethe the roads arc paying dividends or not If the courts and armies arc to be use < to protect the railway property fron the violence of strikers , the same power must bo Invoked to protect the working men nnd the public from tyranny ant arbitrary exactions. If the railroad cor Iterations persist In promoting dls content among their patrons and revel among their employes the only alterna tive will be- the abrogation of thel franchises and government ownership o railroads. What the worklnginei should do is not to denounce the HU premo court , but to call for congres lonnl ncilon tlurf _ will give them the benefit of ( lie prftjfifplo of governmental upervlslon and innitrol of all public ilghways and eWnlfuoii carriers. Inci- leutally It will . jo tvell also to demand he restriction -ofgovernmeiit by In unction and InlprlJonnlents for con- cmpt under wliWli1 the liberties of the citizens are nt the jilercy of the Judge.

The administration party stilt has some work on Its hands. Free silver democrats In Iowa are holding a conference , over one- half of the Missouri county democratic chair men are asking for a state convention against the views of the state committee , and Allen Thurman Is engaged in working up a demo cratic free silver convention in Ohio. The free sllverltcs of the south and southwest are also arranging a big counter demonstra tion at Memphis. Meantime the action of the Kentucky republican convention and the re fusal of republican league clubs In some ol the far western states supposed to be strong for silver , to commit themselves to that pol icy , show that the republican party i.i as generally drifting to the safe side ol this question an the democracy Is to the other side. .Morton 1'olnm tlio Washington Cor.

Secretary Morton , who Is fond of writing letters to hU agricultural friends about smut in wheat , chinch bugs , the tree silver distem per and other bucolic afflictions , sent a mis sive to one of his correspanients today which contained a point too good to be wasted on the prairie air. "What you want in order to bo prosperous , " wrote the secretary tc his farmer friend , "It not the free coinage ol silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 , or any other ratio , but the establishment of Kovernmenl grist mills at which you farmers will be able to deliver CO cents worth of wheat and gel In return a dollar's worth of Ilour.

Des Molnes Leader : The democratic sil ver conference was not a largo gathering- there were about thirty present but what It lacked In numbers It made up in enthusiasm. There was practically unanimity of senti ment that the time had come to swing the democratic party of Iowa Into the free coin age of sliver column , and an organization was effected to this end. The attendants went homo after pledging themselves to united effort In the county conventions and from now on there will be an organized dem ocratic silver committee at work.

The most Im portant of these divisions comprises the leading points in the eastern and middle states. In that region eighty-seven Indus trial establishments have started up since April 1 , this year , giving work to 30.000 employes. The western and northwetern division , covering the leading places from Cleveland west to Denver , and from St. Louis north to St. Paul , shows resumptions of work In ninety establishments , which give employment to 21,000 persons. In the south and southwest fifty establishments , giving work to 2,400 persons , have started. Thus 227 mills and factories In cities east of the Rocky mountains Idle previously have resumed work In the past two months , giv ing employment to 63,400 persons.

IJOSTON , June 10. Hx-Secrctary of the Navy William C. Whitney was Interviewed at the home ot his mother In llrooklyn lust night. He said : "I nin not and will not bo a presidential candidate. It the silver men should carry the next democratic convention It will split the party. The democrats must stand tor sound money. There arc n good many sound money men In the \vcst and south and the Memphis convention , 1 think , has helped the cause along. Carlisle's speech at the convention was an excellent one and deserves to bo widely read. It has un doubtedly had an Influence In the south , I think the people will eventually treat this question the same as they did the greenback question. They want sound money Just now as much ns they did then. " Mr. Whitney said he fell , however , that the free silver question was liable to assume the same proportions or even greater ones than did the greenback quest Ion. He Intimated that nn organized educational movement was what was necessary to counteract the spread of the free silver craze. "I don't think the republicans will care to reopen the tariff question again , ' " he said. It was suggested that there would probably bo hard work for him to do In the next con vention and Mr. Whitney smiled ns he said : "Well.

James , ex-postmaster general , mayor of Tonally , N. J. , and president of the Lincoln National bank , said , discussing the political situation : "I look upon Hobcrt Lincoln as the likeliest dark .liurso In the race for the republican nomination. Ho Is strong In Hie south , but that statement does not by any moans sum up all his possibilities before a convention. Illinois republicans would unite upon him. Georgia , Arizona , Kentucky and Tennessee will bj with him. but In all the southern states there live warm and Influ ential friends of the Illinois man In the Carollnas , In Virginia , In Arkansas and In Mississippi. I believe that he will get half of the entire southern delegation and when the break comes on the favorites Lincoln and Allison will get the benefit of It. The Iowa senator is a well balanced , sound viewed man. who , next to Lincoln , possesses elements of strength where the other candidates are weak. It Is my opinion that Mr. Harrison cannot by any means ba nominated. " Still. Snmll Vulco from Now .Mi-xlco. NEW YORK , June 10. Governor Thornton of Now Mexico Is In the city. He said : "The silver question will not down , but must bo fought out lu the next presidential cam paign. In New Mexico tiio demand for free silver Is universal , lloth parties are united on It. " M. Thornton said New Mexico would apply next winter for admission Into the union. "New Mexico has a population of 180,000 , " he said , "and Is the third largest sheep rais ing state In the country. It has heretofore been customary for our ranchmen to send their cattle to Nebraska and Kansas to bo fattened , but a system of drainage has been devised In the I'scos valley which will enable them to fatten their cattle at home , so that cattle that are now sold for $ S a head may be sold for $45 a head. There are a number of gold mines that have been recently discovered and they will be worked. " "noil Mnrkrt * Will Kill Silver Tolly. NEW YOHK. Juno 10 Ex-Congressman Prank Jones of New Hampshire has just re turned from his seventeenth annual tour of England. "I drove in a carriage through the English farming districts , " ho said , "and I found that a late frost had killed the crops there. The result will be to make a good market In England for American wheat and grain , which will bring good times to the western farmers. As soon as they find the money coming In for tholr products they will stop worrying about free silver and will be come advocates of sound money so that the sliver question will be no longer the political nightmare of this country.
