A. Myers , legislative candidate
on the republican ticket. Is a young
attorney ambitious to make a good
record for himself at Lincoln. He has
never held public olllee before. Doug
las county republicans will tin well to
give him a chance to exert himself for
their benefit as their representative In
the coming legislature.
IVople of the I'ourth ward who want
to see. the business of the city expedited

lier will see to it that William F. llechel
Is returned to the council. Mr. llechel
ban served throe terms In that body and
Is thoroughly familiar with the affairs
of tlie city. The fact that he Is the re
publican candidate should only conduce
toward making his majority bigger.
llrynn is no longer denying that he Is
attempting to ride a sectional issue.
The tables of elector * ! ! votes which his
managers have given out are all divided
by the line that , divides the country
geographically. The appi-als In In-half
of the popocratle candidate are all to
class against class and section against
section. The wider patriotism that sees
the whole country Is represented only
by the republican candidate.
The olllee of county attorney is one
of the mos Important local olllces to be
filled this year. The county attorney Is
not only the legal adviser of all the
county olllcers , but also the prosecuting
attorney In all criminal cases. The posi
tion requires an attorney of both ability
and experience. County Attorney Hal-
drlgehas conducted the county's legal
business cntlsfactorlly during the past
two years and will continue to do so for
two years more.
Senator Isaac Xoycn , candidate for re
election to ( he state senate on the re

York before he removed to Nebraska.

ibly the Industrial anil bnslnef.s situ-
ntlon Is most unsatisfactory. A great
nany mills ami factories are Idle , pro
jected enterprises In all parts of the
otintry are halted until the election
shall deicrmlue what the monetary S.VK-
loin of the fnlnre Is to be , the domestic
ommerce of the country Is contracted ,
he army of unemployed labor Is greater
than ever before In our history and
iiiHeiUeuty | ) the consumption of com
modities of all kinds Is less than ever
before. All this everybody realizes
iiul It Is a most unfortunate condition
if affairs , lint a worse condition Is con
ceivable.
All the wheels of Industry are not at
standstill. All departments of busi
ness are not absolutely stagnant. Of
the " . ( XKUKtf ) or sntxMHl ) ( of wage
earners not less than Iwo-thltds are em
ployed. Coii'ldt'iico Is not utterly de
stroyed. The wealth of the nation , If
not Increasing to any great extent. Is
not illmtiiKhlngT Most of our people
are still able to obtain the necessaries
of life ami lo meet their obligations.
The country has suffered severely -how
Mpvercly Is almost beyond computation
but II Is not ruined. It Is In a position
to rapidly recover If right principles
prevail ; otherwise It mint experience
gieater disaster than It has ever yet
known.
It ought to be apparent to every In
telligent man who can understand the
slgnlllcanee of existing conditions that
the success of the assault on our mone
tary standard would Inevitably produce
I he most violent disturbance. Capital
would shun every sort of enterprise ,
manufacturing Industilcs now In opera
tion would stop , in every department of
business there would be curtailment ,
amf Instead of two-thirds of the labor
of the country being employed ,
probably not more than one-
thlril ' would find work. I'araly-
sis would precede readjustment
to the new basis. In the universal tils-
order the failure of banks and mer
chants and manufacturers would mul
tiply , while Impoverishment nmoiig tin-
masses of the people would enormousl.v
Increase. The rich would lose , but the
privation and sulTcrhig would fall upon
the poor , upon those who have nothing
but th < ilr labor. The corporation. '
against which Hie free sllverltes r.ill
might hi- hurl , bat the Injury to then :
would be trilling In comparison with
that Inllleted upon the millions of wage
workers who would be deprived of em
ployment. The bankers who are si
heartily hated by the advocates of frei
silver could not escape the effect of
panic and disaster , but they would not
suiter tn the degree the producers
woiilil. A change In our monelao
system cannot be made without a com
pleti > readjustment of financial am
business conditions and this Involves
Infinitely greater danger lo labor thai
It tloes to capital. The one requires'
constant employment to llve _ ; the othei
may He Idle for n time and still survive
It Is thus perfectly obvious that bai
as the existing conditions are a worst
slate of affairs Is possible , and tlm
Ibis will be renll/.ed if the free sllve
cause is successful no man can doub
who has an intelligent appreciation o
what Is foreshadowed by prevailing con
illtIons. Some CM-IISC may be fount
for those who are unemployed thliikliV-
tluit a change from our monetary slant !
Mril might better their condition. ( Mr
ctnustances make them peculiarly sus
ceptlb'.e ' to any promise of relief , how
ever vague. Hut It Is dllllcnlt to nndei
stand how men who are at work cai
favor a departure Hint would eiidange
their employment and Inevitably reduc
-tin ; purchasing power of their wages.

within the last sixty days and larg

of Its continuance , has natural ) ,

necessary to protect It. It appears
also , that the bank directors are o
the opinion that much of the deman
from this country Is for the purpos
of hoarding ami It would seem tlm
they are not disposed to encourage tint
sort of thing. That there has bee
some hoarding of gold Is nndonbtetll
a fact , but It Is hardly probable tlm
any very .large part of the amount In
ported has been thus dlsposetl of. I
was to be expected that under prcsen
conditions gold would lie hoarded an
It ought to serve as an Instructive ol
Ject lesson to those who profess to hi
Heve that the free coinage of sllvt
would not drive out the yellow metal.
Nothing Is more certain than that such
would be the result of that policy. The
merchandise balance is still largely in
favor of this country , so that if the
Hank of ICngland raises the rate of
discount It will probably not wholly
stop gold Importations , though it would
certainly check them.

Kx'-Presldent Harrison has begun a
speaking tour of Indiana. The most
trustworthy Information gives good as
surance that the state will give Its *
electoral vote to the republican ticket
and this ought to be made absolutely
certain by ( Jeneral Harrison's tour
for no man In Indiana has greater In-
lli'cnce with the people and particularly
the farmers. IJe has manifested a
mo-it hearty interest In the campaign
and his contributions to it have main
tained his fame as a public speaker
nml as an able exponent of republican
principles.
When talking politics General Harri
son always says something worth read
ing and remembering. He told one of
tils audiences on Tuesday that for n
quarter of a century the democrats hail
been preaching that things should be
cheapened that thu farmer and the la-
uiau ought to tut wuut they
iitve to buy at less cost and thai In
rder that they might do Ihls It wai :
icccssary to abandon the republican
arlff policy. Now the democrats have
hanged position and are urging that
vhat Is needed ait1'higher prices. Thin
< the naked truth. Knnii the time a
rolecllve tariff was enacted In ISill
own lo IS- ! ' the democntltr party con-
tiinlly assailed II as Imposing an tin-
list burden upon the farmer ami the
vorkliigiuan tint ! they finally persuaded
i majority of the people that such wan
ho cast * . They were given oppor-
unity lo revise the tariff and the re-
lilt Is known to everybody. Things
vero cheapened , but to whose advan-
age. Certainly not to the American
vorklngman and farmer , for the former
est In worl ; and wages and the latter
n a diminished home demand for lib
iroducts. Kludliig It Impossible to tie-
end this policy the men who are re-
pouslble for It now appeal to the pen-
) ! i > to support them in n scheme to raise
irlces by debasing thel'iirreney. Hav-
tig struck n blow to protection with
llsastrous consequences to the Indnu-
rles and labor of the country , they
> w ask the people to give them oppor
vnlly to strike down the monetary
standard , In order to make higher
lees for everything , except labor.
1'ut there Is excellent assurance that
In- people will not be fooled this year
i they were four years ago. The men
who misled them then will not be al-
ouvil to do so now. The republican
tarty will be restored to power anil
will bring with It a return of those
'oiiditlons ' under which the country
'nji-ycd ' Its greatest prosperity.

Th : approval of the long-standing dls-
mtcd llarhcr asphalt repairing claim by
he city council is a high-handed outrage
.vlilcli . should call out a forcible and
ndlgnant protest from the taxpayeis
if Omaha. This bill has been hanging
Ire for live years , UUCP different city
'iiglneers have refused to certify to its
orrectness. It was several times vetoed
i.v Mayor I'emls anil his vetoes were
sustained. Time ami again the Ilarber
. 'ompany has been told , If It really
Ihought it had an honest claim against
he city , to go Into court and prove
it. but It has never instituted suit be-
ai'se It Is afraid to face the evidence
that would be brought to prove that It
uul never compiled with the terms of
.Is contract. The greater part of tin
1)111 ) Is for work never performed , anil
Its payment In full will constitute out
) f Hie mosl gigantic steals ever per-
[ ictrated on the community. The pre-
ense ( hat a compromise has bt > en agreed
on by remitting a small portion of the
Interest alleged to be due Is only a
sop Intended to befog the public mind.
It ought to be laid down as a general
i nip of practice for the city that no
disputed bill contracted under one ad
ministration where the contractor lm >
failed to adjust the matter under that
administration should be allowed by
a succeeding mayor nml council with
out first proving It In court. Till ,
would be no more than fair precau
tion to protect the taxpayers from
Jobs and steals. In the present In
stance tinIlarber claim dates back to
1S1U during the term of Mayor dish
ing. Thin part repeatedly rejected
by Mayor llemls Is In reality outlawed
and was permitted to become outlawed
because It had no foundation In fact.
The remainder of the claim Is a legacy
of the I'emls administration , by which
It was more than once branded as un
earned and exorbitant. For the pres
ent council lo go back of what Its
predecessors have tlono and say that
the city was wrong from the first In
ill-dining to pay what It did not owe ,
savors very strong of a dark Sene-
In the . If the
gamblan wood-pile. mem
bers of the council know what Is good
for their reputation they will retrace
their steps.
All those compliments which the pop-
ocratlc candidate paid early In the cam
paign to lilaml and Holes and the other
defeated aspirants for honors at the
Chicago convention seem to have
missed the mark. It will bo remem
bered that Itryiui said that the nomina
tion came to him not because of any
individual merits , but because of the
ncct'llar combluation of clrcninstanL'e : .
Mi'il that had it fallen to any one else
he would have been found battling for
them as earnestly and actively as he
would work for his own election. The
unmistakable purpose of all this W.T. ;
to spur these discarded leaders on to
take up the Itryan cause and become
leading actors In thu campaign. The
fish , however , have failed to nibble.
Bland showed some disposition to lend
a hand early in the season , but soon
dropped out of the procession. The
others never took the places assigned
them. Their disappearance is certainly
suggestive nt least of doubts in the
prospects of the silver ticket.
ruder tlie election laws of Nebraska
every voter In every city of the metro
politan class Is entitled to have diii-
notice by proper publication before each
day of registration of the locations of
the registration booths , the hours when
the registrars sit and the boundaries of
the voting precincts. The Intent of the
law Is to enable every voter to regl.ster
In the proper precinct and he can nettle
tlo this unless lie Is Informed of the
boundaries of the different precincts.
I'p to the present year the law has
been strictly carried out. This year ,
however , City Attorney Council advises
thu council and clerk to Ignore the law.
It was upon City Attorney Council's ad
vice that each annual publication has
Ik-en made for the past live years. Hut
the attorney who changes IIM ! legal
'opinions while you wait finds no illlll-
cnlty going through such acrobatic per
formances at the command of his mas
ters.
Although Congressman David II.
Mercer Is detained In Washington dur

The iiniC'lhm of compounding the legal
rate of ponnlty Interest on delinquent
taxes is a.Ijf'jl practice. It Is rank dis
crimination' favoritism. There Is
no more reason why one properly owner
who neglects to pay his taxcn should
have part of his obligation relinquished
than why all should. Such action on
the part of the council Is nothing short
of open encouragement to tax shirkers.
The showing of farm .products made
by the county poor farm Is n gratifying
one. lint It Is only what should have
been had for years past. Kxcept un
der unfavorable climatic circumstance : '
the crops from the Douglas county
farm ought to relieve the taxpayers
of a large part of the expense of main
taining that Institution.
President. Cleveland has removed n
Wisconsin postmaster for having subsi
dized a news-paper to promote his candi
dacy for the place. The postmaster evi
dently got what he deserved , but the
newspaper Hint sold Itself ought also to
be b.irred from the mails. No reputable
newspaper would ever engage In such
business.
Tom Wat-sou's darkest fears are ap
parently on the eve of realization. He
asserted from the very bi'ginuing that
he was apprehensive the Hryan crowd
would freeze him out If they could. It
Is still some time till whiter , especially
in the south , but the political freezing
process Is well under way.

principles Mr. Carlisle represents dro these
both parties agree upon , and they are In

There Is a flavor of hypocrisy and n whole
volume of demagogy In the statement madr
by tlryan at Lima. O.Yo who believe In
the money of the constitution are for n
sounder money than those who want to
change1 our currency Into pounds , shillings
and pence. " Thcro Is no "money of the con
stitution. " That venerated Instrument
authorizes congress to borrow money , to
coin money and regulate tbe value thereof ,
and forbids any state makltiR "anything
but gold and sliver coin a legal tender In
the payment of debts. " nut It doesn't , even
by Implication , Invest gold or silver or any
other metal with the Inherent quality of
money. Neither does any man In this
country "want to change our currency Intc
pounds , shillings and pence. " This figure
of Jingo rhetoric is borrowed from the tariff
sbrickers of the past.

The most exhaustive researches can enl >
result in mere firmly establishing Hit
uniip.10 position of productive labor as tin
standard of all commercial value , a posi
tion It has always held and will ever hold ,
though unrecognized by legal enactment *
or the decrees of potentates. The only
icason why 23.20 grains of line gold arc
worth $1 Is that , on the average. It costs ,
In productive labor , $1 to mlno and trans
port 23.20 grains of tlno gold to the. mint ,
It Is productive labor that establishes the
value , instead of , gold and silver establish
ing the value of productive labor. So lonp
as productive labor Is content to mine 23.2C
grains of flno gold at wages paid , that will
bo the value of a dollar. As to silver , pro
ductive labor Is' now satisfied to mlno ovci
700 grains for the wages formerly paid tc
mine 1171.25 grains , making It worth about
half Its formtT'tfrlec. No legal enactment
or dcmagogue'ry. or sophistry , can change
Its present valtiffSo long as the flat of pro
ductive labor remains as It Is.

now worth about 1 cents has thnti It
was when Mr. llryna was nominated , nml
wheat Is worth ID cents n bushel mere. He
told us thnt prices would never gn up until
silver Was demonetized ; silver has not bnen
demonetized , but everything thnt the farmer
mines Is n good deal higher. llrynn has
proven both a fnlse theorist ami n fnlse
prophet.
Kansas City Stnr : The vnlue of wheat ,
relative to most other commodities , has
ndvnneed prr cent In HIP pn-it few weeks.
The difference between this advance nml
the rise In prlcp which the free silver ndvo-
rntes desire to bring about by debasing the
currency Is Hint , In the latter case , everv-
Hilng HIP farmer bm must advance Just
ns much ns everything be tins to sell ,
whereas the present advance Is nil for the
farmer's benetlt.
Chicago News : During HIP third quarter
of 1S95 wo exported 14..120.001 bushels of
corn , but In the corresponding period of
ISOfi we exported 2 ! .r.Cr > .ri2i ! bushels , or more
than double the nmomit exported In ISM.
It Is fortunate for the people of this coun
try that nhumlnnt harvests will enable them
to supply any demand for wheat mid eorn
that can be made upon them nml that the
American farmer will be likely to receive
for his produce a more rcmimeratlvo price
than ho has been able to get for several
years.
Chicago Tribune : There Is no mystery , no
perplexity about this rise In prices , lie-
ports from nearly all the agricultural dis
tricts of Kttrnpu , Asia , and South America
announce bad crops. Argentina is short of
cereals , India Is lo be a heavy Importer , Hie
same cry comes from nearly all the usually
heavy producers , nml the only possible re
sult happens the price goes up. The supply
Is short , thp demand Is normal , and the
price goes up the flMt primer lesson IK
economics , nud one which the' Hey Orator
has fatuously sought to repudiate.
Philadelphia Times : In the face of thli
shnrp ndvnnce In whcnt , which must affect
favorably the price of nil other food staples ,
the assertions mndo by Candidate llrynn and
Ms associates that the century Is In a otato
of hopeless bankruptcy will fall on sleptle-il
cars. With wheat worth SO c- ills n bushel
and still rising nnd other crops In demand
at advancing prices and with nbumlant crops ,
the farmers of the country are not going
to be convinced that they nru ruined or
the subjects of grinding extortion on the
part of anybody. Providence nnd the wheat
markH do not seem to smile on Hryanlsm
and cnlamlty howling this year.
New York World : Within the past six
weeks the price of wheat has advanced 20
cents n bushel In the Chicago market. Upon
a crop -150,000,000 bushels the average
for the last three years this would mean
an additional value of $ UO.OOO.OOO In this
crop nlone since the presidential campaign
got hot. Kven the Blight advance of ii cents
on corn means n gain of $7fi,000.ono on Hie
rop. and the lesser advance on nnts scores
J2.ri,000.000. ThereIs logic as well as
eloquence la these figures They dis
prove the hair-brained theory that
the prlco of farm products de
pends upon the price of silver , for as the
grains have gone up silver has gone down.
The logic of i-vents has knocked out the fal
lacy of theorists. Wheat has confuted the
mine owners.
TIIK VOICI-J OF CO.VSCIKXCK.
New York Sun : It Is a treasonable enter
prise , and the whole patriotism of the union
must b united resolutely agnlnst the sedi
tious conspiracy to destroy the foundations
of American liberty. Hvery traitor Is with
Ilryan. nnd alns ! so also Is many n deluded
patriot ; but the movement of wlikli ho U
the leader Is distinctly treasonable. As
Archbishop Ireland says. It Is. "In Its logl-
eal effect , against the United States. " Ilry-
nnlpiu means moro than financial and bus
iness ruin. It means political and social
disintegration. I'nlto. uniteto erush the
venomous conspiracy !
Sprlnu-neld ( Maps. ) Republican : Ptlll more
emphatic Is the warning which the Unman
Catholic Archh'&hop Ireland feels moved
to utter as a private citizen. It will not dote
to say that only a member of an undemo- '
eratlc hierarchy Is spe-aklng here. The arch
bishop hns been dlKtlnmilshed above his
brother prelates for his robust Americanism
and attachment lo our popular Institutions.
\nd when a clergyman of his order feela
called upon to descend from his < ! C'-Iu.slaaU-
cal post and take an outspoken position In
un exeltlng and heated political canvass
over questions not directly concerning the
church. vu may well believe him to be
profoundly stirred.
Now Ynrk World : No truer , wiser , abler
or sadder words of warning have summed
up this strange and melancholy craze than
those used by Aichblshop Ireland In his
recent innsterly review. Charitably ami
touchlngly he says : "America heretofore
has been free from socialistic hatred and
\varfar3j It has been a country of oppor
tunities for all men. and It has given to the
laborer a livelihood higher and better than
Is afforded him In any other country of the
world. Is this all to be changed ? Is social
chaos , gloating over ruins , to bo the method
of social elevation of the masses ? *
I have come to look upon thu present agi
tation as the great test of universal hUiTragc
and popular sovereignty. "

HA III , Italy , Oct. 21. The Italian royal
yacht Savoy , having on board 1'rlncrss
lleleno of Montenegro , her betrothed hus-
b.ind , the crown prince of Naples , und tbo
members of the princely family of Montene-
gn who nro to be present nt tbo marriage ,
arrived hero today , escorted by n Hqundrou
of Itnllnu war ships. The royal yncht ex
perienced very bad weather while crossing
the Adriatic , and nearly all the travelers
were senslek throughout the passage. The
prince nud princess were warmly greeted
on landing , a vast concourse of Anatolians
and others who had arrived In the town
crowding It to Its utmost capacity.
The loenl attempts nt decoration were
universal , but ludicrous. They were mndp
In response to the following municipal edict ,
which was posted on the wnlln of the prin
cipal thoroughfares :
"Cllliens of llnrl : It Is your duty to clenn
the streets of nil unseemly mud.
"I'feil nud tntterod washing linen must be
tuken nwny from thp windows.
"Little children must no longer run naked
In the streets.
"Gonts , cows. hetiH nnd drunken men must
be lept : nt n proper distance.
"No dust bins mny for three weeks be
emptied Into the streets.
"Licensed coachmen nre forbidden to wenr
ragged liveries nnd nro advised to borrow
disused police uniforms.
"Let these things be done and our citizens
will prove themselves worthy of their an
cestors , and our city will be duly gnrnlshed
for greeting her roynl bride. "
The prince of Naples remained on board
tbo Savoy , but Princess Helene , escorted
by the duke of Genoa , the representative of
King Humbert , landed at 10:20 : n. m. . nnd
In u proee-sslon of forty-one carriages with
soldiers lining the street , proceeded In n
dlFinnl rain through enthusiastic crowds to
the church of St. Nicholas. She wns met
nt the door of the church by the clergy with
great ceremony. The princess then formally
professed the Roman Catholic faith and
afterwards proceeded up the nave and beard
mnsB eclebrated while artillery salutes were
fired In her honor. After the ceremonies of
the change of faith had been completed the
princess returned on board the royal yacht.
