The National I'anners congress , wlileh IN chiefly composed of farmers who luilld political fences anil thresh political straw , has held another ses- Klou at Indianapolis. The special train bearing the qucun of Portugal collided with another train near I'nrls , but that Is not the I Irs I time thai the train of a cineen has collliletl with home other trail ; .

It Is oi'ly ' another striking example of the tall putting on airs by trying to wa the do ; ; . The famine In India and consequent rise In breailstiiffs has knocked the KtullliiK out of tlie theory thai the price of wheat Is Ktiiigetl by the price of sli ver , but we are still wailing for the llrst llryanit < > to admit that ( lie silver and wheat theory Is a delusion. According the the rantankerons GrandMaster AVorknien who signs him self "Sovereign" neither ICngene Debs nor the Federation of Labor have given material aid in the recent struggle of the silver forces. For sublime egotism the great " .Sovereign" withonl egotism dom lakes the cake. It Is hoped that the national fair clrcnll meeting In C'hieago will grant the later date asked for the Nebraska State fair. I'ast experiences should have proved the folly of holding the fair dur ing the hot and dusty weather which is npt to prevail in Omaha during the llrst week of September. In the bright lexicon of Omaha there Is no such word as fall. The exposition means moro for Omaha than any enter prise ever projected. It means a new cm of growth that will push Omaha beyond the : ! 00,0X ) population mark be fore the next census Is taken. The ex position must be made a success. Sixteen millions of New York City bonds , for which no bidder could lie found two weeks ago , have been snapped up by a linn of Wail street money lenders at a premium of over $7. iOH)0. ( ) Another striking proof that the maintenance of tiie gold standard Is a conspiracy to make money scarce. A Denver sliver biilliomtlre bank lias tihked the United Slates treasury to favor It with a quarter of a million In paper currency lu exchange for coined gold , but the treasury ollicials are not Jumping at the chance. Wonder how much gold would the Denver con cern have offered to exchange for currency - rency had Itryan been elected. Kvcry member of the council who records Ills vote for the appropriation to pay lite outlawed I'.arber asphalt claim will publicly write himself down its n conscienceless knave.

Tin Fannurt National congress. In | session at Iti'llanopnlK will probably renew the demand made at the session of tuo yeitiN ngo. Hint farm products shall be protected equally with manu factured product. * . The address of the president of the congress presented some highly Interesting and Instructive llgurerf sh'iwlni ' ; how Importations of agricultural products have Increased under the prcst-.it tariff. It appears from this that In the llrst year of the operation of the existing law the agri cultural Imports In twenty articles , the like of which we produce north ami south , were more than double In amount the Imports of such products lu the lust year of the republican tariff. Formida ble llgurcs were given showing what lhi > farmers of the I'nltetl States have lost by ( lie tariff change and the pres ident said : "Should protection be the policy of tlie government , then It should be applied to farm products and the Ag ricultural. Department should recom mend to the general government such changes in tariff schedules as will furnish equal protection to tlie products of the farm. " This Is a matter regarding which the farmers of a large part of the country itnve been thinking seriously for tin1 past two years. There can be no doubt that the votes of many of them were Influenced by it In tlie late election and It Is to be expected that they will be heard demanding of tlie next congress and administration such consideration for tiie farming Interest In the revision of the la rill' as they shall deem desira ble. Tlie fact that they are able to show that they have sustained n ma terial loss under the present tariff will be an almost Irresistible argument for a restoration of tin- duties under tlie former tariff and It Is safe to say that this will not be denied them by the re publican congress. While It Is true that we export agricultural products. It Is not tt fact that all products of the farm tire c.i\mrtcd , and for such sis tire not- for such as depend wholly 11)1011 ) tile home market a reasonable protection seems a legitimate demand. There appears to be a quite general apprehension In European countries that the election of McKlniey means the enactment of a practically prohibitive tariff and there is a renewal of the talk which followed tlie passage of the law of IS'.H ) regarding a union of Kuropean countries for a common tariff war on the products of the United States. A German paper suggests that If It Is Im possible to achieve joint Kuropean ac tion Germany must proceed upon Inde pendent lines , IIrs creating a high max imum tariff and then giving notice of a cessation of the most favored nation system as soon as the United States government raises the tariff. The French press voices a fear there that a revision of our present tariff will be to tlie detriment of ( lie trade of that coun try with the United States. There could be no better testimony to the great benefit which the existing law lias been to the manufacturers of tliosit countries , lo tlie necessary loss of American capital and labor , and It fur nishes abundant , justification for such a change In tlie tariff as will give back to American manufacturers the ! > HH- Iness they have lost by reason of this Increased competition. It will probably be found , however , that the foreigner. * exaggerate the danger. The policy of tlie next administration , as now Indi cated , doi-s not contemplate the reenactment actment of tlie last republican tariff as n whole , but simply such changes from the present tariff as will afford reason able protection to American industries ami labur and supply tlie government with adequate revenues. This is what the republican parly Is pledged -to do and It can do no less , nor will It be de terred from sticli action by any threats of Kuropcan retaliation. In this matter of industrial Independence we shall not wait for ( lie consent of any other nation on earth. ( IHAI'I'UXU H'lTII .1 THUST. Combinations In restraint of competi tive trade have been outlawed by na tional and state legislation , but it Is one tiling lo make Ir.ws and another to en force laws. While popular Indifference to law-breaking is doubtless largely re sponsible for ( lie prevailing disregard of law , the olllcers charged with the en forcement of law , public prosecutors and courts are chielly accountable for the reckless defiance of law on the part of corporate monopolies. It Is the frequent boast of the managers of these potential concerns that they make and unmake court olllcers , prosecutors and Judges. And the e Indiscreet assertions are often verified by the men who are sworn to enforce law and administer Justice. It Is simply Impossible to repress and sup press trusts anil other lawless combina tions so long tis public prosecutors and courts play into their hands , one of the most flagrant Instances of high handed defiance of the federal anti-trust * law liasbeen brought lo public notice In the complaint filed In the United States conns of Indiana against the Wire Null trust. Tlie complaints charge the concerns composing this trust with an illegal conspiracy in restraint of In terstate Iraflle and commerce. The plain tiff , Lewis C. Itramkamp of Cincinnati , declares that in order to break up his business the Wire Nail trust hail pre vented him from securing the machinery necessary for manufacturing wire nails. According to ids petition for rcdrc.ts he had contracted with an Indiana foundry for forty mill machines , but before they could bt delivered the trust declared that he should not be allowed to pur chase , ami succeeded In preventing him from buying anywhere In the country. 11 was declared to the court that since the formation of tiie trust tlie price of wire nails has advanced over IKM ) per cent and that the trust lias netted as a result of the advance nearly l7,000 , < )00. ) It was shown that to prevent tlie estab lishment of new factoile.s not In the trust thu trust made contracts with makers of wire mill machinery to the effect that no linn not a member of thu trust should bu furnished with machines. If these ) charges are substantiated by competent testimony this In certainly one U f the most flagrant cases of lawless combination to prevent competition that htm ever come to public notice. Why It should have been necessary for the par ties aggrieved lo prosecute the case through their own attorneys , when under the Sherman null-trust law the duty to prosecute and break tip trusts devolves on the Untied Slates district attorney , ptisses coinpieheiislon. . The outcome of this effort to suppress the Wire Nail trust will be watched with great Interest by the people of the whole country. The people of the United States. Irrespective of parly , are opposed to trusts and In favor of their repression. H Is to be hoped the federal court before which the case Is pending will If the complaint Is substantiated Impose the full penally prescribed by the law and thus set an example that will render defiant disregard of the anti-trust law hazardous If not Impossible. H'l I'lHHUl'TI , } ' . It is to be hoped thai the directors of the exposition association will lose no further time In serving notice on the secretary of the treasury that the condi tions embodied in the act of congress granting olliclal recognition for and pledging , tlie co-operation of the United Slates government in tlie Traiismissis- . - Ippl and International exposition have bi-en compiled with. There Is always a great deal of red tape In tlie Washing ton departments , and It may IIP weeks if not months before the treasury elli cials complete their Inquiry and certify to tlie president that the requisite sub scriptions to the exposition stock have been made. It Is also to be taken for granted that some time may elapse after Secretary Carlisle's report has been handed to the president before the proclamation announcing to the people ple of this country ami all the world thai a great exposition will be held in Omaha In ISis ! shall issue from the wlille house. Tills proclamation can not be Issued lee soon. It will lake months for American ministers and consuls abroad to bring the exposition to the notice of foreign governments and exhibitors who may desire to participate. It is , moreover , desirable. If not absolutely vital to the success of the exposition , that the president's proclamation shall Issue before congress reconvenes , or. at any rale , before lite .various . stale legislatures of the Trans- mississlppi stales shall begin their ses sions. It must be borne in mind also that up to this time there has been no otlleial action taken by the United Stales government that can lie con st rued as definitely assuring the Trans- mississippi exposition beyond pledging an appropriation of SI'IXMMIO for a gov ernment building and exhibit. This pledge is of no value nnle.es congress at Its coming session shall make it good by ti specific appropriation. In order lo make sure of tills appropria tion congress must be furnished tangi ble proof of our financial ability to carry the project to successful com pletion. We must bring to its knowl edge the sulllelency of the stock sub scriptions and donations to the exposi tion association to constitute a guaranty of good faith. Inasmuch its the coming session of congress must terminate on the -lib day of March next , there is no lime lo be lost In securing the req uisite treasury certilieale and procla mation of tlie president. M.lKIXd. There Is excellent authority for the statement that Major McKInley will enter upon his duties as president 1111- tianimeled by any pledges as to cabinet appointments. Tills can lie accepted unquestlonlngly , because at no time , either before his nomination or after , was there any reason for the president elect making personal pledges in order to secure support. His nomination was demanded by a large majority of the rank and file of the republican parly and when tlie will of tlie majority had been thus expressed the leaders were not slow to acquiesce in it. II was not necessary to offer any Inducements to bring them to the sup port. < f the ticket. They rallied to it promptly and heartily. Of those who did able ami valuable service in the cause of sound money and for re publican success , the number is so great that there are not offices enough in tlie gift of the president to reward them all , if they should desire tlie re- watd of olliee. Cabinet making Is being largely In dulged in by the newspapers and will continue to bi > up to tlie day when the next president shall announce who are to be ( he members of Ills administra tion. This is not without interest as an expression of public preference and doubtless Major McKinley himself will not lie wholly Indifferent lo the opinion of the republican newspapers of the country an lo who would bi > most ac ceptable lo the parly as cabinet elli cials. lie may very wisely consider tlie suggest'ons ' from this source as a guide to the selection of popular men. IMit ( here are only eight cabinet posi tions and already several I lines that luuuher have been named as meriting lite consideration of the president elect. It is possible that some of lluvc will be appointed. The dllllciilly thai confronts .Major McKinley Is In tlie excess of excellent cabinet material. There Is hardly a position lu the ad ministration for which a score of capa ble men cannot be found. One thing may be regarded as assured. The next administration will be dis tinctively republican. It will be harmonious on the questions of sound money and protection. The. expectation Is that all sections of tlie country will lie represented in it ami It Is desirable that they should be. A sound southern re publican In tlie cabinet would benefit the party In that section , which Is no longer solidly democratic. Tlie north west should have a place In tlie admin istration. The east and the middle slates are sure to be taken care of. It has been suggested that the appointment of a Hound money democrat to a cabinet posi tion would be a proper recognition of tlie service of that element lo the republican cause. It Is not necessary to do tills In order to attest the fact that Major Mc Kinley and all republicans reall/.e the vuluu of the assistance and support of i In- sound money democrats. That has bt'cn lii'iirtltyfiju , ! unreservedly acknow ledged. To appoint a democrat one of the advisers of a republican administra tion , If a democrat could lie found to accept Hit- while It would not be wit lion irreeedenl. could not serve any good pose and might prove a source of i rd and Double. The next adnilnlsira loir should be so constituted that I here will be no danger of any dis turbance or ( liseord In Us councils. Major MeKluley may lie depended upon to select a cabinet that will be satisfactory to ihe country a cabinet in full accord with the principles he rep resents. No tine has a larger acquaint ance with men filled to administer the all'alrs of government and It Is safe to say that lie wll choose only those of the highest character ami qualifications. It will be liN aim lo make Ills administra tion worthy of Ihe approval and con fidence of tlie nation. Grand Master Workman Sovereign lias broken out again with another of his fantastic and bombastic effusions addressed to Hie Knights of Labor. He tears his hair and plucks out ills beard by the handful over the election of Me- Kluley. which was followed by the re opening of mills and workshops and the re-employment of thousands upon thou sands of worklngmeii , and goes Into u conlpllon 111 over the rapacity of hold ers of idle money who have subverted tlie principles of free government by forcing political service from the poor , ami bemoans the political shivery of tlie wretchedly Impoverished who had lo sacrifice their liberties lo supply food and shelter for their helpless wives and Innocent children. For all we know Sovereign may be sincere and honest , but how such si rattle-brained man can continue to lie the leader of any con siderable number of intelligent Amer ican laboring men passes our compre hension. The seemly custom of rising to I lie feet In the federal court room on the nitrancc of the judge and remaining standing until he Is seated , which was allowed lo lapse under the democratic authority of the late .Judge Dumly , has been once more ; established , to the astonishment of the younger attorneys , who have not seen this mark of out ward respect paid In Omaha during their lifetime. .

" said the senator , "that the peuplo of Iho United Statts ,110 inady to Insist on the government assuming control of the railroads of the country. 1 am my self In favor or It on general principles , but I do not approvo-of the plans thus far pn- centcd for bringing It about. Neither do I regard as wise..tlje _ proposition to have the roads operated-by the government , as that would bo to pjace In the hands of a few men a dangerous political power. The people should opcr.ito the roads. My plan , which I worked , out when the agitation for government ownership of the railroads was first advocated. Is to have the government acqiilro the roads by purchase- and fore closure of the mortgages and IndebtodnesN overdue and throw them opn to the public , an In the caho or toll roads. In the early days out went wlrrn a toll road was built through a nectlttnor the mountains , the transporter of'"freight or passengers with his own vLhlclbu 6iuld ) pass over the road by the payment of a certain fee. That Is the system I , Urrfpase for freight and pas senger trafllc Jon \tho railroads after the lines are afiilrfA | by the government. The tolls should buy fixed at no low a rate as to produce Jujft1 vjioush revenue for the expenses of keeping the road , tracks , etc. , In perfect order. " "Tho train service then would bo en tirely lu thii hands of the people. Thus a first-class engineer , n conductor , and a brukeman would bo at liberty to run n train of their own over any line In the country under conditions laid down by the government. All they would have to do would bo to arrange for running tlmo with the proper authorities. "Tho project opens up boundless possi bilities. For Instance , the farmers of a given locality who are now shut out or the markets by high freight rates could hlro or buy a few cunt and an engine and go themselves with their cattle or grain to the best market. The manufacturer could do likewise , while the pleaMiro-seeker might visit every section of the continent with every luxury for what It now costs him to go from New York to Ban Fran cisco.

Nearly all the great agricultural states gave their electoral votes to McKinley. Minnesota , In proportion to Its population , cave us largo a. majority against Ilryan as did the manufacturing Ktates , the excess of McKtnlcy'B vote over Dryan's being nearly HO.OOO , The substrac- tlon of the vote In Ft. Paul and Minneapolis would not materially affect the proportionate preponderance ot the Mr.Klnley vole. Imva , with no domliHtlng cities , gave McKlnh-y 7 ,000 majority. In Michigan the republican camlldato bad EG 000 majority , of whlrh } ) e- trolt gave but 7.000. In Wisconsin McKInley had 100,000 majority. Taking out the ma jority In Milwaukee , the chief city , which was ' .1,000 , It will lie seen the stale at Urge gave over SO.OOO majority uga nst free sil ver. In Illinois MeKinley came up to the Cook county line with over 70.000 majority. In Indiana McKinley had about Zu.noi ) major ity , of which 11,000 , came froiri Indianapolis , which would still leave him In the lead throughout the state. In Ohio the repub lican majority was about .13,000. In Cin cinnati and Cleveland the majorities were respectively 19,000 and 3,500. Tills leaves the majority In the state after deducting the votes or the two largest cities over CD.OOO. Nortli Dakota , strictly an agricul tural state , gave a majority agilnst silver , and In South Dakota , Nebraska , Kansas and Wyoming the voting population was about evenly divided. Crossing the distinctively mountain titates , which went heavily for silver , It U found that the coast states or California. Oregon ami Washington , whoso chief Industries are agricultural , are qulto evenly divided. The first two went for .Mc Kinley and the third far the free silver candidate.
