The French press Is again protesting against Interference by the United States hi the affairs of Cuba. Some people have a peculiar faculty of cryIng - Ing out lustily long before they are hurt. Mr. Hryan might have known Illinois 'was beyond bis reach before he went there. If he had only made a few In quiries of some reliable friends on the ground for uncolorcd Information as to the .situation. Senator Itogor Q. Mills ban evidently posted In his hat what Editor William Jennings Itryan printed about him In his paper and that Is the reason his eagerness to talk out In behalf of Candi date Bryan has not yet manifested It- Bel f. The first of the week's roorbacks to be sprung by the popullstn was the wild fable that lion. J. II. MacColl Is not a fully naturalized cltly.cn and Is therefore not eligible to the olllce of governor. Unfortunately for them the records are against the propagators of this absurd yarn. Do not neglect to register Saturday , If you have not already < ] uallcd ! ! by this necessary formality to vote on the fol lowing Tuesday. Saturday , October 01 , Is the last day In which you can register. If your name Is enrolled make It your business to see that none of your friends are left out. . If , as tbo court has held , the election of ISDtt Is not a general election within the meaning of the city charter , It would be interesting to the public If the city attorney would explain how a city clerk happened to be elected under his ndvlcu In the year ISI ! ) when no general city election was held. Anton Kment has been a councilman for two years past , and is better equipped than ever to look after the Interests of his ward In the council , lie has tried to perform the duties of the olllce conscientiously and the people of the Second ward will be consulting their own good by re-electing him. The army ollicer who Is reported to have resigned because he fcara a national struggle In arms as a result of the olectjon should bo allowed to go without restraint. Ills letter of resigna tion proves him to be both a fool and i coward , and he Is not needed In either capacity In the United States army. M. F. Singleton , candidate for the legislature on the republican ticket , Is nil intelligent , representative colored man. He Is a property owner and lias nil of his interests bound up In Omaha. Ills election will not only be a compli ment to the colored race but will give Douglas county a careful , hardworking member of the lower house of the legis lature. If there is one tiling above others why Dryan should bo defeated In his presi dential ambition It Is that he deserves defeat as punishment for his ruthless desecration of the memories of Lincoln , Carllcld ! , Jtlalne and other cherished Statesmen whoso speeches he has wil fully garbled and Into whose mouths he has put words which' they would never have been guilty of uttering. Mr. Itryan's paper that encouraged nnd defended the Bryan rulllans who tried to break up the Cockran meeting hi this city is very much exercised for fear the sound money people will In terrupt the speeches which the popo- cratlo candidate- president proposes to make in Omaha. Mr. Uryan's paper may calm Its fcarn. The sound money people are all committed to the obmsrv- unco of law and order. Whatever dumoiiHtratloii , . may bo iimdo In the cause of souud money will bi > perfectly orderly ami entirely legitimate a a feature of the Mr. Itryan'H paper , the Omaha World- Herald , has taken n stand In opposition to certain of the constitutional amend- mcnt * submitted for the ratlllcatlon of the voter * at the coming election , but ; the NllghtcKt reflection on the part of ! any thinking man will at once convince j him that every one of Its objections Is frivolous and unfounded. Objection Is made to the amendments proposing to vest the legislature with the power to ll.x the salaries of the judges of our courts ami of the execu tive olllccrs of our state government on the ground that the people of Ne braska can not afford to Increase the pay of any public olllclal at this time. The fact Is that these amendments do not Increase the pay of any public olll clal. They tnerely put It In the power of the legislature to Increase the pay of such olllclals as are now underpaid , butte to do this a three-llfths vote of all the members of both hnuxes N required. No one party , therefore , can ever raise the salaries of our judge * 01 executive 1 ollleers , but It must be done with practi cally the unanimous consent of the whole legislature. These amendments are further Intended to put a stop to a great many abuses that have sprung up under the present system by which ollcor.i ! have obtained perquisites of which the general public knows noth ing , Instead of Imvlnt : their entire com pensation Included in their salaries. Thus members of the mipreme court have been voted money for private. stenographers , the governor has had an appropriation for house rent and the treasurer has Indeiuiiitled Himself for losses by pocketing interest on public funds. There Is lib good reason why the Judges of the supreme court .should be paid only .MX ) when the judges of the district court receive the same sum. There Is no good reason why the gov ernor of Nebraska should be paid only ? 2.r ( X . while the mayor of Omaha Is paid the same salary. The city treas urer of Omaha receives ifC..OOO a year , but the state treasurer receives only $11,500. Tinier uch conditions Is It any wonder that a slate treasurer who obli gates himself to Ids friends for a bond of ! ? l.r > l 10,000 Is tempted to farm out the public funds for private benelltV The adoption of the amendments em powering the legislature to lix the sala ries of stale olllcers is an absolute ne cessity if we are to come back to the original Intention of the constitution framcrs that the public olllclal should receive his salary In compensation for his services and no more. Objection is entered to the amend ment giving the legislature authority to establish courts Inferlbr to the supreme court on the ground that we do not need any more such courts. The best law yers In the Mate say that we do need such courts and that the creation of an Intermediate court of appeals would not only expedite Justice but also save thou sands of dollars annually to the state and to litigants \vho-e suits now have to await tardy hearing. Under the proposed amendment the legislature could not exercise Its power to create a new court except with the assent of two-thirds of the members elected , so that there would be no possible danger of Its abuse. The amendment should be adopted In the Interest of prompt and even Justice for all persons , rich or loor. ) high or low. Objection Is made to the amendment giving the legislature authority to create additional executive ollicers on the ground that we have all the state of- tlcers wo need. This amendment should bo adopted because we have more state olllcers now than w < > need , but tlr.'y are unconstitutional olllcers and It pro poses to do away with the needless ones and make those that we need cou.itltu- tlonal ollleers. Iteeause of present con stitutional limitations we have had the law stretched to multiply olllew * . The governor has been made nominal state labor commissioner , while an appointed deputy labor commissioner gets .the salary and performs all the duties of the olllce. The governor has been made nominal state oil inspector , while an appointed deputy oil Inspector and six assistants get the salaries and perform the duties of the olllce. Certain state olllcers have been made a state Irrigation board , white an appointed secretary and assistant secretaries get the salaries and perform the work. Certain other state olllcers have been maile a state board of transportation , while three appointed .secretaries get the salaries and do the work. And so on for a dozen Illegal salary drawers. The pioposed amend ment alms to abolish these abuses. Nor can the power conferred on the legisla ture be misused , bt'cause , In order to exercise It , a vote of three-fourths of both houses is required. Objection Is entered to the proposi tion relating to the merging of tbo government of cities of tiie motronoll tan cl.-ns nnd the government of th" counties wherein such cities ar located wholly or In part on the ground that there is no necessity for It and no de mand for It. The people who oppose this amendment are either too dense to comprehend It or persist In misread- 'Ing It. The amendment contemplates the abolition of use'.ess olllces that have been needlessly duplicated In city and county. Its result will be to re duce taxes , not to Increase them. There Is no good reason why the city of Omaha and Douglas county should each maintain an expensive set of account ants to.audit their books when one set can do the work as well , If not bet ter. There Is no good reason why the city of Omaha and Douglas county should each maintain a separate treas urer and treasurer's assistants to re ceive and account for taxes paid by the same property owners when one set can do the work better. There is no good reason why both city and county should employ separate high salaried surveyors when one engineering depart ment would amply milllco. lly the adoption of the proposed amendment the people of Omaha and Douglas county will be enabled to merge these and other duplicated olllces and save themselves thousands of dollars an nually. There Is always a demand for economy and retrenchment ami the same demand exists for this amend ment. It has nothing whatever to do with the extension of the city limits of Ouiaha. The legislature can now 11 x the rlty limits where It pleaies with out any constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment therefore Is wholly In the Interest of reduced taxes and better government and should be adopted \vlthout a dis.scnting vote. Objection Is raised to the amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for the Introduction of the voting ma- chliip on tlie ground that "there Is no Immediate demand or necessity for tills 'Improvement. ' " The voting machine offers a step In the direction of election reform just as much as did the Aus tralian ballot system. It Is a reform assuring the voter an absolutely secret ballot and an unfailing and accurate count. It Is the most effective preventa- live of framl.nt the polls that has yet been devlsetl. All the progressive states are adopting the voting machine or are preparing for Its adoption. Shall Ne braska refuse to untie the hands of its legislature so that It must for years to come remain behind In the march to ward the most perfect election methods ? objection Is made to the amendment relating to donations to works of In ternal improvement and manufacturer nn the ground that It Is "a scheme to enable cities or counties to vote bonds to swell the bank accounts of beet nugar factories. " This objection shows the destructive statesmanship of the World- Herald and the presidential candidate which It represents. Kvcn if the amend ment were Intended solely to encourage the erection of beet sugar factories , would not that commend It to the voters of Nebraska'/ Can the state have too many beet sugar factories ? Are not the people of a dozen communities ready to make sacrlllces to secure such fac tories In their neighborhoods , knowing full well that the beiietlts sure to accrue from them would more than repay them several times over ? Hut this amend ment does not restrict the voting of bonds to beet sugar factories , but ex tends the power to Include all manu factures. Ii a glucose factory employing several hundred mm and consuming the products of hundreds of acres of sur- loundlng farm lands could be secured by the asMiranco of a reasonable dona tion tit tide It over the extra expenses of ! Us opening year , should we not be glad i to seize the opportunity ? And If the I donation Is to be made up , why should It not be raised by taxation Instead of voluntary subscription , so that the non resident property owners and the rail roads and the other corporate holders of large Interests that would be greatly hcnclltc : ! . should paj 'iclr Just shares along with the public spirited bu.slmv.t man ? Acuirdlng to the provisions of the proposed amendment , not a dollar of bonds can be isaiied except by a two- thirds vote of the people. Adopt this amendment and Nebraska will In a few i years he dotted all over with factories ! of different kinds , giving employment to labor and consuming the products of the M > ll. Adopt this amendment and capital and labor will be attracted to the state , our Industries dlversllled and an unexcelled home market created for the farmer. Not a single objection has been raised to any one of tlie proposed constitutional amendments by the World-Herald or by any one else that can have the slightest - , est weight with the intelligent citizen. All of the objections are frivolous or Irrelevant. Vote for all of the amend ments. wnmtt : ru F/AV > "We shall thul prosperity just where we lost It , " said liciicral Harrison In one of ids recent speeches. "Von lost prosperity when you Inaugurated this democratic policy ( referring to tlie tariff ) , and you must go back there again ; and take my word for It you will lind what you have lost. " A return to the conditions which prevailed four years ago will bring b.ick the prosperity of that time and nothing else will. This country wants a policy that will renew Industrial activity and make a market for labor. Debasing the currency by Injecting more silver into it will not make a demand for the Idle labor. Probably U.UOO.OOO of people are now un employed or woiklng only a part of the tiiuo. Tlie impulse given to silver min ing by the free and unlimited coinage of that metal would not furnish employ ment to - per cent , of the now Idle people ple , while the convulsion that would certainly' follow the adoption of free coinage would greatly Increase the num ber of unemployed. It Is a plain busi ness question which any fairly Intelli gent man can settle- for himself. A Ju dicious icvisloii of the tariff which will permit tlie mlll.s and factories to resume full operations will be In the interest of the working classes and In the in terest of tlie agricultural producers. General Harrison's statement that we shall IIml prosperity where we lost It Is eminently sound and sensible. KKTUHNIMJ HKI'UIIUCAXS. Ueporlrt from states where there lias been 11 considerable defection of re- pi'bltcans to the free silver cause say that many of them are returning to their alllllatlons. This Is said to be especially true as to farmers who were republicans , though there are also large numbers of worklngmen who were seduced by the free silver delu sion who have had an awakening and will support the party of protection and sound money. Thus It Is seen that the campaign of education has been effective with those people whose minds were open to conviction , Instead of being closed and sealed against the argument of facts and experience. The farmer who has seen his products ris ing In value while the advocates of free silver were telling him that he could expect only a decline under the existing monetary standard would be strangely constituted If he did not doubt tlie legitimacy and soundness of the free silver contention. Likewise tlie worklnglnan , when he seriously re- llectH upon the proposal to take away a large part of the purchasing power of Ills earnings , without any assurance that his wages will be Increased , must question whether that sort of policy would Improve his condition and enable him to better provide for the needs of himself and family. And where a man begins to doubt the wisdom and hon esty of the free silver cause It Is en tirely safe to conclude ho will drop It. It cannot ftnquestioning. \ \ \ \ \ . It re quires of Its supporters blind , unreas oning , fanaflva ! ' devotion. Hut thertJIV 'aiiothcr explanation of the return \o , jhe republican party of men who luvvpnbeen lured away from It In this cauipiijgn. It Is very hard for most men to jJovcr connection with a political orjttnlKatlon to which they linvo given lofig allegiance , and no other polltlii1'Harty In our history had such strong" yhifms upon the loyalty of Its niembprs't's the republican party. It has a grout record. Grant that It has made nUsfakcs , still It has done more than 'any1 other party for the progress anil prosperity of the nation. Hefore the advent of the republican party our national growth was slow. : In the so-called "bimetallic" tlnips , when the "money of the constitution" received full recogni tion , tl'ore was little industrial develop ment , labor was poorly paid ami the people as a whole' were not prosperous. In the three or four years before * the war , when the mints were open to gold and silver on equal terms and we had the nearest approach to free trade In our history , tlie condjtlon of the country was deplorable , llotli the government and the people were Impoverished , and so low was the public credit that moii'-y could not be borrowed at a less rate of Interest than lli percent. Those were democratic times. The republican party gave the country a policy under which Industries were rapidly developed , capital and popula tion were attracted to the country ami the condition of the working classes greatly impioved. No one who will In telligently read the history of the United States dining the thirty-two years from 1S ( > ( ) to IS'.Ci can question the wisdom and Hie bpiiellcent results of republican legislation In-promoting the material development of the nation. Our grwth In that period was ( lie wonder of the world , and so faithful was the repub lican parly to the maintenance of the public faith that the credit of the United Stales attained a higher standard than at any previous time In Its history. It has been distinctively the party of na- tlonal upbuilding and national pros- perlty. Men who acl"d with the party during this period are justly proud of Its record and of the fact that they bad a share In making that record. Such men cannot feel at home In another political organi zation. Some are lured away from lime to time , as was the case four years ago. but they return ; as they did two years later , after Havlrjg1 discovered that they were misled , , 1'ree silver Is a delusive scheme which out rapped a large num ber of rpptiullcajiH , but many have re turned to their former party allegiance and many ifiore' will do so before the day of electjfoii "arrives. It Is safe to j say that the. . nit.nlt of the election will show that tj\e' \ Defection ' of republicans has been The attacks' 6ft Secretary of State ' Piper for his. decisions. In the slate ticket protest eases will glance off of that 0Illt'ti 'i'wlthout doing any barm , because tile .wv'retary simply followed out the law asuwp'ressi'd by the statutes and construed by the supiVme court and could legally have reached no other con clusion. Hy sustaining him In every point on the appeal of these cases the j suprem'e court has said as much- and endorsed the puMtion taken by the sec retary. If by Ilielr own dissensions the di'iuocrats. of Nebraska have put them selves at a disadvantage they have themselves and neither the secretary nor the law to blame. The secretary has merely pi'rfornifd the duty devolved upon him by the statutes and had he evaded It Instead of fearlessly perform ing It he would have been derelict and subject to censure. Kvcry elector In the city of Omaha Is by law entitled to notice by proper publication of the times and places of registration and of the boundaries of the different voting precincts. That Is the law laid down by Judge Keysor. The electors of this city have thus far been deprived of this notice by reason of the perversion of the law by the city authorities acting on tlie advice of the city attorney. Now that the plain let ter and meaning of the law have been expounded by .the judge , of a court of competent jurisdiction , It is time ( Mat the Ill-adviaVd city olllclals retrace their steps and perform their duties so far as tlie time remaining before election per mits of their performance. All prders for merchandise In the busi ness world are now Hied on condition that the bills are dated ahead or dis counts and often double discounts al lowed.

Nothing ban been more effectual In dla- pclllng the Idea , that the farmers can make their calling more profitable by voting for an abundance of silver money than the ten dency of the wheat marker to go In a di rection opposite to that of the silver market. Hut this simply Illustrates one pha e of the great Interest the farmers have in the Issues ot the pending campaign. If the claim that farmers ought to vote for forcing up the prlco of silver In order to raise the price of their products Is a fallacy It Is nota greater one than many other claims put forth In the Interest ot the Nebraska candi date. The farmers In Nebraska who live near the great beet sugar factories which have been built at Norfolk and Grand Island can testify to the advantages which have coma to them by reason of the existence and operation of these factories. Sugar beets Is a surer crop than any of the cereals and It la more profitable at fair prlcca for the product. There Is a double advantage In tbo sugar beet factories. They afford a sure and ready market for the products of the farms and they glvo employment to many who are not directly engaged In farming , thus making a homo market for garden and Hold crops generally. The experience of the Nebraska people- who have brcn favored by tho'presenco of these two great factories has been In every way satisfactory and no persons near Norfolk or Grand Island can bo found to denounce the factories or the corporations which have built them or oper ated them , A Minnesota experimenter has shown that flttoon tons of beets can bo grown on an aero of ground In Minnesota and the quality Is goad. Good results have been obtained in Wisconsin , South Dakota and Iowa , and there Is no doubt In the minds of well In formed farmers and sugar beet experts tha beet factories can bo supplied with mutoriaf In almost any part of the northwest. The soil Is all right and In meat places the climate Is just what Is ncded. The farmers of the northwestern otates are quick to learn and they have no trouble whatever In taking up the cultivation of the sugar beet with success. The cost of raising sugar beets is from $2 to $3 per ton and the factories pay from J ! to $5 a ton for the beets , according to quality. Thcru arc no crops that can bo made to yield such good returns from the ale of the product direct. The Nebraska factories were built a few years ago when the tariff lawa of the United States gave encouragement to the homo manufacture of sugar. The state of Nit- braska also took action looking to tbo ca- couragomoat of the. Industry. Had tlieru not been this encouragement by lawa and the Impllml understanding that thcro should bo a continuation of the policy at leiat for such a term nf years as would enable the manufacturers to become firmly established , the Nebraska factories would not have been built. If the government should return again to a policy ot protection and encourag ing homo Industry If the American people glvo such oil endorsement to the policy as will Indicate * that thcro cun never again bo a deliberate attempt to break down our Industries by unfavorable legislation there will bo many more beat sugar factories es tablished in the northwest.

Philadelphia Press ( rep. ) : The instilta to which Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle was subjected while trying to make n speech in Covlngton. Ky. , on Wednesday are a disgrace not ( inly to that town nnd to the state , but to the whole nation as well. U Is humiliating to the country when an of ficial occupying a leading place In the na tional cabinet cannot address his fellow citizens at his own homo without an at tempt being made to hoot him down and Intimidate him by throwing missiles. Indianapolis News ( ind. ) : Kcntucklans are on their mettle.

So far , however , wu have failed to notice the first popocrat expression of disapproval.
