Military Instruction at the High school Is at last put on a firm basis by the enflorpcment of the War department , accompanied by a recommendation for the supply of arms and equipments. A residence of six months In the state , forty days In the county and ten days in the ward and precinct entitles any man not otherwise dlsipialllled to regis ter his name and vote at the coming election. We ! arc really surprised that Mr , IJryan's paper should continue to prfnt the. T.

What the farmer wants Is not cheap money , but a home market that will consume the bulk of his surplus pro duce right In the country without competing with the cheap lauds and cheap labor of Asia and South Amer ica. Omaha Is vitally concerned In sending a delegation to the legislature that will be in position to command support for the exposition appropriation. A repub lican delegation will exert Inlluence with the -majority , which is certain to bo republican. Paste the dates In your hat or In some conspicuous place.

This year's corn crop of Nebraska Is conservatively estimated at : : ( > 0OCOOQO bushels. Why should any Nebraska farmer forswear allcghuico to King Corn and bow In worship before the sil ver Idol , when the price of corn Is rising and the price of silver falling ? The sympathy of the public , regard less of party , Is extended to lion. David II. Mercer In his compulsory absence from his district during the campaign. Kut his claim for re-election It * not based on sympathy , but on genuine worth and on a record for great and lasting services to his constituents. Theodore Itoo orclt Is the most re cent champion of sound money to ex pose the fraud and fallacy upon which the structure of Hryan demagogy rests. The Uryanlte press may therefore be expected to drop Ingot-Mill for the mo ment and take to abusing Itooscvclt. With the sllverlles personal abuse and vllltlcatlon are always the readier weapons than the facts and logic to refute convincing argument. Chairman Hntlcr of the populist na tional committee say that Itryau's election depends on thu number 01 republicans he can persuade to bolt , the republican ticket. Uvery ono knows that 1 try tin will have to thank tlm republicans for Ills defeat , but few have suspected that ho would have to thank republicans for success In case he should by accident or mishap be elected.

While the pen pip of Nebiaska HIT Mtally Interested In the restoration of prosperity by the rc-cstabllshmcnt of public confidence , they are not less In terested In having the alfalrs of this state administered by men who are In accord with the policies which the elec tion ofVllllam Me'Ciiiley will assure for the nation. The candidacy of .1. II. MacC.'oll for governor of Nebraska ap peals directly lo the sympathy of men who believe In republican principles an.l In republican policies. Mr. MaeColl IniH been an unswerving republican , whoso career entitles him to the confi dence and support of every member of his party. lie has. moreover , a elalui to the support of all clashes of our eltl 7.i > ns by reason of his pioneer life and services rendered during a quarter of a century In helping to develop the mate rial resources of ( ho state and ho pvo- motion of every enterprise calculated to bring piosperity to Its cltlx/Mis. The popularity of .lack MacOoll ' at tested by the fact that ho has twice been endorsed for the highest position within the gift of the party by the re publicans of Omaha and Douglas county , although his residence Is W10 miles west of the Missouri. Modest and itnassuiii- ing , yet dignified In beailng. Mr. Mac- Is man of the . - Cell pre-eminently a pe.o- pie. lie not only knows the wants of the masses , but Is In full accord with every popular demand that has for iN object the improvement of the condition of the producers and wage workers. lr the present , campaign he has not at tempted to win his way by demagogy promises of patronage or personal at tacks upon the competing candidate foi governor. lie has entrusted his canst- lo the sound and sober Judgment of tin- people'and Is confident that they wIP endorse his candidacy as promising tin most for the speedy recuperation of tin- state from the effects of the depression that has weighted it down during tin- past few years. TI1K I'KtH'Li You can fool all of the people somr of the. time , you can fool some of ( lie people all of the time , but you cannot fool all of the people nil of the time. We are again forcibly reminded of this tinlli by the appeals for popular contributions of money to the Itryai1 campaign fund. Donations are asked from wage-workers and people of sinal' means to counteract what is called the "plutocratic booille fund" which the re publicans are charged with dlstributim : for the election of McKlnley. These appeals , designed to arouse tin sympathy of the masses , were begin' within forty-eight hours after HryauV nomination by the silverltes by Itanker St. John of Wall street , who is masquer adiug as a great friend of the toilers , when In fact he Is the money changer and boodle dlsbnrser of the sliver bulllonalres. 11 is a matter of common notoriety that the silver trust Is now holding ( W.OOO.OOO ounces of silver for speculative purposes. A rise of only 10 cents an Ounce would mean for It a profit of ? ( i.H,000. ( ) ( ) And yet the. poor wage-workers of the country are being Importuned to contribute their mites to help out the sliver trust under the lire- text ihat there Is not a dollar in sight to defray the "legitimate" expenses of the Itryan campaign. In this respect fhe appeal for the people's mite affords only another proof of the campaign of duplicity , deception and Imposture which Is being waged by Uryan and his plutocratic backers. According to the World-Herald , the people's inlto to the ISryan campaign fund In Nebraska so far amounts to about ? ! ( all told and yet thousands of dollars have already been paid out by the Itryan managers In this city and county alone. They have paid ? GOO cash in advance for the rental of Hoyd's theater for six nights and they have .paid out more than double that amount for other halls. They have paid out hundreds of dollars for workers and literature prepared and printed in tills city. Where did this money come from ? Surely not from wage-workers or local candidates. It Is an open secret that tills boodle has been generously fur nished by silver bullion owners and mining stoclvJnbliers. Tlie appeal for the people's mite Is only an nppeal to credulity. Tln > people's mite certainly has not paid for Mr. Ilryan's special railroad trains * and special cars. It has not paid for the forty-eight halls which have been rented In Chicago for Uryan for thu remainder of the campaign. It bus not paid for the paid silver oraloi.s and subsidized sliver organs. The parties who have contributed the money for the ifl'J.WK ) of stock which Hryan owns in the Omaha World-Herald are doubtless the ones who are contributing the biggest mites to the Iltyan campaign fund. TIIK IIHTTMt rillHXl ) Thnt was a most pertinent question which Major MeKinley addressed to workiugnujn In ono of his speeches on Saturday when he said : "I submit tc- you , men of toll and all around and about ni" , who Is the bettor friend of labor , he who give-j yon work that brings contentment , or he who breathes only words that create discontent ? " No Intelligent and unprejudiced workingman - man can hesitate an Instant for an answer to this question. The repub lican standard bearer followed it by siiylng that there ought never to' be any enmity between labor and capital , because the Interest of one Is the In- tero.it of the other. Wlnit fair-minded wage worker will not acquiesce In this ? Harmonious relations between capital and labor between employers and em ployed upon a Just basis of mutual benefits , always tend to the prosperity of both. Distrust or hostility on either side Is harmful to both. Kvery Intel ligent man knows that capital Is valueless - less without labor , whllo on thu other hand labor Is helped by thu active use of capital. This makes their Interest : ; mutual and reciprocal. There has never before been a polit ical campaign In this country In which om of tin' parties endeavored M > per- Hlstently and strenuously to array the working classes against employers as the popocratlc party Is now doing. There bus buuu more or Icus of this sort of demagogic appeal In provlo.is i.nn palgns , for every presidential eonle.si brings to the surface agitators who iu ' capable of Inciting clns.-t antagonism , but at no other time In our history IIIIN this unjustifiable and dangerous at tempt to Infect the minds of the men of toll with the Idea tluit their Interests nnd those of capital are necessarily hostile been so Industriously , so In sidiously and so unscrupulously madr as In this campaign. It should also lie noted that now for the first time In our history and let It be hopet'l for the last time a candidate for president of the United States is lending himself to this most Incendlai-Y work. Hitherto such business was left lo the care of a few demagogues , more or less Irre sponsible , but now the leader In dis seminating tin1 doctrine of class hostil ity and In Inciting workingmcn to dis trust employers. Is the popocratlc can didate for the highest otllce In the gift of the American people. It Is a humil iating spectacle und a reproach to the nation , hut this Is of small consequence In comparison with the dangerous ef fect It may have. In the overwhelm ing defeat of Mr. Hryan that now seems assured the reproach to the country Involved In his Incendiary ap peals to passion and prejudice will be obliterated , but will the seeds of class discontent ami class hostility which he has sown be at the same time de stroyed ? Is It not rather lo be appre hended that they will have become so firmly Implanted In many minds that they cannot b- uprooted and that they will continue to engender the mls- ' -hlcvous sentiment and spirit which It ! s the ( aim of Mr. Hryan to spread broadcast over the land ? * The hope that such will not be the ease must be fouuded upon the sound ' ommon sense of the great majority of woiklngmen. While It is unqiiestlon- 'ble that there are many who have been seduced by the delusive and In- ihllons appeals of the Chicago nom ' lee , we confidently believe that the im ses of Intelligent labor will ropu- "ate the Invocations to the baser 1 tlncts of men and put themselves \ -cord against the wrong and dang * > ns doctrine that labor and capital a .

A poll of tlio delegate * revealed ISO for Bryan and one for Me- 'Clnlpy. And most of these men are printer * . nrVlng on Eoltt orijnns World-Herald. This is only another one of the hun dreds of brazen fakes that have ema nated from the Hryanlte press. The International Typographical union Is composed of delegates from the printers' unions of the 1'iilted States and Canada. Kvon If every delegate from the United States had been for Hryan It does not stand to reason that the delegates from the Dominion , Including those from Ontario , Quebec. New Hrunswlck and Hritlsh Columbia , were unanimous for Hryan. As a matter of fact , the Colo- ' ado papers , which are decidedly partial to the silver candidate , report-only M per cent.ot the dcj < > cn.tj > . , fav6rlugi-Jc ( man who carries the rabbit foot In hi ? vest pocket. The claim that the printers are all foi Hryan has no better foundation than all the other claims which are being made for him to bolster Ids candidacy. Take the union printers of Omaha as an ex ample , nnd we know Unit there is as much of a division on presidential preferences as there Is among union eigarmnkors , union tailors , carpenters , bricklayers and all other branches of organized labor. 70 nnsTnith run .S/-OM..S SV.STK.V While giving paramount consideration to the danger to the financial and busi ness Interests of the country that would be Involved In the success of the pope cratlc party. It Is well to remember that there are other. If minor , evils which would result from a victory of that party. Not the least of these wouM be the complete or partial abandonment of civil service reform and the restora tion of the spoils system which was the bane of our politics for so many years. The Chicago platform declares distinctly against the policy of civil service reform and while it does not , of course , pronounce for a return to the spoils system , its declaration can have no other meaning than this. Mr. Hryan Is in full accord with tills plank of the platform. He endorsed it In lil.s speed ! lo the Chicago convention and he ap proved It in Ills letter of acceptance. If elected president Mr. Hryan would at once make such a modification of the civil service regulations , In obedience to tile demand of the platform , as would enable him to fill the public ofliccs with his partisans. As pointed out In an ad dress to the voters of the country by the National Civil Service Ileform League , no new legislation Is necessary to ac complish this result. The mere elec tion of a president who will modify the civil service rules will restore thu .spoil. ; system as It existed dining the worst periods of onr political history , with Its evils greatly multiplied , owing to the growth and complexity of the govern ment service. It Is thus hi the power of the president to overthrow thu whole system if he so wills and when one con templates thu tremendous pressure tvhlch would be brought upon Mr. Hrynn for a distribution of the spoils of otllce there can In ; no doubt that long before tiie close of his term there would not b" a vestige of civil service rules re maining. A return to the spoils , system would mean utter demoralization of the public service. As the league address says , the merit system Is thu product of a gen eration of progress. It was Instituted against a formidable opposition and has gone forward slowly and steadily until It now covers nearly thu entire public service. Its operation has been highly satisfactory. It has conduced to greater etllclency In thu work of every depart ment of the government , because em ployes of the government know that their tenure docs not depend upon their politics , but upon thu way In which they perform their dntletf. Men who are callable and faithful can count upon permanence In their positions , regard less of their political views ; those who do uot uieut these requirements cannot H-U - ' r vt ilnlnu their position ) * IHiloitl Inlliii-nce , The effect N to i-nTijuTavo the < o officials to put fet h at all times their best efforts and the ellleleucy of the service l thus con stantly biMiroved.

The republican party and tlm national democratic party are pledgi'd ' 'to ' Its maintenance. Kvery citizen who believes In a capable , etll- clent and business-like administration of the government should rolled upon the threat of the popocratlc partyto re store the spoils system. Candidate Hryan's ability ns the art- fill dodger never served him better tlinii It. dill lust week during his speech at Owosso , .Midi. Tlu speech Is n ver- llnMo gem In Its way , which no seeker after truth ought knowingly to neglect. It rends : "Ladles apd Gentlemen : I was at Oxvosso Junction a moment ago. I received hy special delivery a copy of the 'Owosso Press * ot October 11. From the fact that It bore nfl stamp except the special delivery stamp 1 assume that It was sent liy the editor him self. The paper contains some questions submitted to me. As this paper Is not sup- potting me , I think I am justified In asking some questions myself , If I am expected to answer questions , nnd therefore I will ash If the celltor of the Owosso Press Is In Ihc audience ? " A Voice "lie was moment ago. " Mr. Ilryan "Will you lot me know whcte ho Is ? " A Voice "He has gone where his clrcula- Mon Is going. " Mr. Ilryan "If ho will not make hlmsell known , will some ono point him out to mo ? " A Voice "He has gone away. " Mr. UryanVcll ' , It he Is not hero tn hear the answers to his questions I will watt until lie attends a meeting and then in'wor him. I nm Informed that the editor if the Owosso Press Is standing In that wapon in the rear of the crowd and wears i blue cap. Now I will ask him a question Ol 1 you endorse ! the flnanejal plank pre sented by the minority at thu Chicago con vention ? ' " Mr. Hryan paused , but there was no an swer. "I repeat the question. You have asked me questions , you ought to be willing to answer questions. Old you endorse the nlnorlty plank at Chicago ? " Again therewas , no answer. "Well , my friends. I have spent so much time trylns .to flnd the editor of this paper ind to unmask ' 'n man who Is seeking to Meet a rcpliblfca"n by pretending to support iho Indlanafoolls'tlckot , that I flnd I have no time left to talk to you. I ask you to remember Ihat , the gold standard never fought an open fight. Those who supported the minority plii.lt at Chicago pretended to bo afraid' that-free coinage would prevent International bimetallism and when they got tn Indlanaijnlls , 'tlicy forgot all about In ternational ( 'bimetallism and declared for the gold standard. ' ' Then they nominated a ticket which , 'tlicy' dld not Intend to vote for , because thei' jvcro not willing to bear the odium of voting for the republican ticket. I prophesy/ that the editor of the Press docs not Intend to vote for Palmer and.

" Just note tlie sKIH with which Hryan extricates. hJms'eJt' ' . IIu professes to ho willing and caper to answer the few simple questions put to him by thu Owes o Press. Hut does he answer them ? Nary an answer. lie simply insists that he put a few questions to the editor for Mm to answer before hi- will reply to those asked htm llrst. This is such an old demagogic trick that It U really a wonder a man who Is seek ing support as u candidate for the pres idency would stoop to It. Finally , hav ing wasteil nil the time he was scheduled to spend at Owosso , he makes a vlcI6ns attack upon the de fenseless questioner and has his train pull out , leaving tlie audience still wait ing for the promised answers. Of course the questions are still unan swered. Uryan never intended to an swer them. He does not want to an swer questions. His sole stock In trade consists ot wild , unsubstantiated state ments and appeals to prejudice calcu lated to array class against class. Hon. S. 1Shcerin , who for the last four years was secretary of the demo cratic national committee , has come out openly in repudiation of the Chicago ticket. During the Chicago convention Secretary Shcerln moused the lie of the Hrj'unltcs by seeming to favor the gold contestants , and they Immediately marked him for slaughter , refusing even to purmlt him to continue us secretary of the convention under the permanent organization. Of the old olllcers of the democratic national committee only John I. Martin , the sergeant-at-arms , who was a rampant gold man up to the time the platform was adopted , Is supporting the ticket , and Martin turned his sails merely to hold his job. Yet Hryan Is pleading for support on the ground of regularity. . , . . , . .

New York World : Wheat has advanced Ifi nU a bushel In Hfcw York since Mr. nryau W.TS nolillnatea anUJsllver' bas decllned.lu tlio Bamo tlmn 'about"-jy cchls on ounce. These facts do not agree with popullstlc theories but so much the worse for the theories. Buffalo Express : Silver bullion has reiched the lowest point It has touched In the last eighteen months and wheat has reached the highest. Chairman Jones has asserted that the rlso la wheat Is duo to tlso conviction that Bryan will be elected. What , then , explains the fall In silver ? Chicago Tribune : Nature has tried her hand at. free coinage to the extent of add ing about J200.0W.OOO In good 100-ccnt dollars lars to the- wealth o' the producers. That Is what a little assurance that Ilryan will bo done for will do. Look out for the com mercial skyrocket after election when Uryan la done for. Now York Tribune : Moro complete and convincing demonstration ot the falsity of stiver theories could not be desired than the course the market has been supplying for some months past. While silver has been sleadlly falling , because of Ihc heavy sales In foreign markets of bullion that was held by mines and smelters nnd speculators here , the price of wheat has been rising very remark-ably for several weeks. Pioneer Press : Hy an opportune exhibi tion of thn rcgnancy of commercial law the good Lord has smashed whatever lingering foolishness remained of the favorite fallacy of populism , that the price of wheat is con trolled by the market value of silver. An advance of 13 cents In the price of wheat means n gain to the farmers of Minnesota and the two Dakctas of at least $13.000,000. Philadelphia Times : When Mr. Ilryan left Lincoln a month or more ago to make his great tour of the south and east , wheat was worth G3 cents a bushel In the eastern mar ket , and the silver dollar was Intrinsically worth 03 cents. He has argued from every stump that the price of wheat has been gov erned by. the demonetization of silver i.r.d that as silver declined the products of the farm have declined tn value and thereby the farmers have been Impoverished for want of free silver coinage.

The attempt that Is being mudo by Ilryan and Altgcld to array the employes of the land against their employers Is the last re sort of desperate men. What kind of a cause Is It that require * for Its support the antagouUm of people who are engaged In a common Industry upon the success of which they all ek'pcml for their livelihood ? Take any manufacturing establishment and examine Its working. First there ID thi ) capital that establishes the plant. The men who have this money put It Into thu business that they may make more. To some extent at least their venture U un certain , but they lake thu risk. They hire agents , salesmen , clerks , and workliigmen and becciuo responsible for their wages , They start the wheels In motion , nnd from the lowest errand boy In the concern through all the grades of workmen up to thu con trolling mind that dominates the whole , every honest man and woman must have a common Interest In tbo success of the enter prise , for upon Its success depends their living. If the head U crippled , if the capi tal Is Impaired or lost , the owners are not the only oiica that suffer , TLo whole body of employes suffer. With such a common Interest , why , then , should there bo antagonism between 'lie em ployer anil those- whom ho employ * ? How do tholr Interests differ ? And yet It the constant tht'inu of tbeie leaders nf ilibcon- lent , these fomcntcrs of strife , that the worklngmen should bo at enmity wmi those who give them work , and that wtiativer public policy the employer would promote us conducive to tbo welfare of his business the workmen nhould vote against fur ibht very reason !

The full dc velopment of thu beet sugar Industry wilt lunko this one of the richest states nf the union.

Populist legislatures have been ngalnst the sugar bounty. Which will you hive ? Norfolk News : A democratic congrosi struck a henvy blow nt the sugar Industry of our fair state. One William Bryan , who now aspires to the presidency , was a mem her of that congress from Nebraska at tha time nnd helped by hta vote to take bread out of the mouths nt our workliiKiiicn nnd diminish our prosperity.

( Irand Inland Independent : There ar many sections of Nebraska nnd the west looking with anxiety toward the sugar In dustry ns n natural resource that will place our fair stale tn the front rank ns n sugar producer. Nor will they be disappointed , Tha high degree of SUCCCES which has nl- toaily been attained by the two factories now In operation , together with the standard of excellency of the beets grown give positive nsiurance thnt Investments In the entorprlfio are to bo safe ones. There Is an abundance of eastern capital , with wise legislation lo protect nnd Induce the same to come here , thnt will naturally acck a source that prom ises such remunerative returns. The mil lions of dollars sent abroad for sugar each year might just as well be retained at home , and na there nre but few states where the climate and soil are so particularly adapted to beet culture , tbo state Is Indeed fortunate In having expended what It has to develop whnt promises to become one of Its greatest resources. _ _ A iii.o\Y AT TIIIJ cnimciiis. : HIMV FIIMHllv MWouM AflYcl Clornj- mid ltt-lluloiiN : InxlllutloiiN.
