One of the leading Itrynn papers says Unit the election was "a mistake , but not n crime. " This Is cruel.

When our amiable popoeratle. contem porary , pull'ed ni with supercillour. conceit , exclaims , "Don't let It occur again. " It forcibly recalls Aesop's fable about the bullfrog who , swelled with his own importance , tried to imitate tlio roar of I lie lion.

Nothing Illustrates so well the cohesive char- nctt r ! ' the nation. Due week the whou coimir.N is divided on sharp lines Into almost hostile camps ami the next week all are reunited and working to- getlM- for the common good , with par tisan differences laid aside until tlio time for the next political contest. In no other country in the world can tlio same change be witnessed In the same slunt lime. The last legislature passed a uniform bar examination law which In the main Is working very well. Wit hunt ques tion It Is a powerful factor for elevating the standard of the bar In Xibraska , and th. > good results are already visible In all jurisdictions in the slate. Some legislation along the same line Intended to elevate the standard of the medical profession ought to receive considera tion at the ci.mlng legislative session. .Tust how fitrlngcnt the law regulating tile practice of meiilcine ought to lie made in a comparatively new slate like Nebraska Is a point upon which there will be some difference of opinion , but us to Increased requirements fur eertlll- oaten to practice , there ought to be little if any opposition. The next congress will have the usual number of contests on Its hanihi with numerous and Ingenious pleas on the part of defeated candidates who believe they were not fairly beaten. Kvery time these expensive contests te- nppear the question is seriously asked whether congress in paying all the ex penses of these eases Is not stimulating nnd encouraging theinV The jnstlllca- tlun for lids coui > 'u Is that no poor man who Is counted out or overwhelmed with fraudulently cast voten would ever be able to assert his rlghK Theie Is r'ound argument In this , hut it Is also Indisputable that congressional contest case , like congressional funerals , hnvo been overdone. Tlio alnues practiced by candidates who trump up contest proceedings without the shadow of foundation simply because they know they can lose nothing by It ought to bo restricted , even If they can not bo alto gether abolished. ' T/IB intirr .w.mM.sw.t I Tit'1 < i'Honio ' of the campaign III No- ' bn.ska has already bor-n made public , but an 1'Wilysls of the return ! ! will prove a genuine revelation. It was generally b.Mlevpd that the vole polled two years ago liml been Inlhiled by sevvrnl tlmu- mind non-residents Imported from adja cent states. Nobody on either nide of the contest , therefore , reckoned upon a licttvler vole lids year than was cast In ISllI , when the vote for governor ag gregated UO 1,010. This tlgure has been overtopped this year by fully 20.W ( As reported by enmities Ilio reltirna show that Nebraska has In ison broken the record by easting over 10,000 inoro votes than were east In 1S1IO during the great prohibition campaign , when -II.- ( MX ) votes were polled. The marke 1 Increase In the vole ban staggered the most astute party leaders ami played smash with nil calculations and forecasts. While the fiislonlst cam paign managers had claimed the state by tI.V ) < > o for Itryiin , they really had no other basis for their claim than the fact that the vote of Cleveland and Weaver In the hist presidential election would If combined have distanced Harrison by JO.S'C.I votes. While the republicans doubtless had great odds to overcome , yet the result shows conclusively that McKlnloy would have carried Nebraska this year in spite of fusion but for the unexpectedly enormous Increase in tlio aggregate vote. In IS'.K ! Harrison re ceived S7it : votes , while lO.'i.'J.IO were east for McKlnley this year. In' other words , the republican vote this year was Increased by more than 10.000 over tln > presidential vote four years ago. when the total vote for president was L'lMl.ltlL' . Had the vote been Increased by not more than n.OOO or 0,000 the state would have bnuii carried for Mc- Klnley with lO.V.TiO votes. Inasmuch as the Palmer and lluckner and the prohi bition and socialist vote , which will ag gregate not less than n.OOO , would have left ISrynn below the 100,000 mark. With an Increase of 1M.OOO votes over the number polled In 1S')1 ) > Itryan's vote of ll"i.S.'l ! ) exceeds the combined Weaver and Cleveland vote of IS ! ) ! ! by 7,7lL' ! votes , so that the fusion gains were very much less than those of the republicans. The state ticket also exhibits Home very singular freakri of the voter. The number of voles cast for the otllee of governor Is less by over O.OIX ) than the vote cast for president. Where these votes were lost and why they were not east will always be a mystery. The dis crepancy seems , however , for some rea son to be almost entirely on the repub lican side of the column. Covernor Holcomb received very nearly the same vote that was registered for llryan , anil MacColl falling behind McKinley over ! ) ,000 votes runs up Holcomb's plurality to about 1M.OOO. The most notable drop In the vote polled for MacColl Is In Lan caster county , where he runs l.ri < _ . voles below the vote east two years ago for Majors and lXit ( ) below the vote given by Lancaster county to McKluley , and yet Holcomb runs ! M8 votes behind Uryan in Lancaster county , showing conclusively that the votes withhold from MacColl wore not given to Hoi- comb , but probably east In blank. When the olllcial returns arc opened ami made public we may take- occasion to make further comparisons as to other features of the contest that may prove interesting as a political study. With the facts and llgures at our command we may truthfully say that In spite of being vanquished In tlio latent battle of Ne braska , republicans have made a credit able showing. Confronted from the out set with great odds and borne down by the force of enthusiasm aroused by a popular presi.lentlal candidate who ap pealed to local pride and emotional In sanity , they came out with the greatest increase in their vote that has over been made in this state. While the impres sion has gone forth that Nebraska has capitulated to populism the fact remains Unit over 100,000 votes have been cast for sound money and against national dishonor. With the advent of MoKlnley and a resumption of the policies that have been championed by their standard bearer republicans of Nebraska may eonlldently look forward for a return lo power when the next battle Is fought in IS'.IS. nn : MOXUUK nocrmxK. It appears that the authorities at Washington have a very full apprecia tion of the magnitude and Importance of the diplomatic victory achieved in the Venezuelan ease. The concessions made by the Itrilish government , both In the matter of arbitration and In the recognition of ihe .Monroe1 doctrine , are gratifying 10 men of all parties , but peculiarly so to the president and secre tary of state. It is reported that in con- vei > ation with a visitor who congratu lated nim u.'ion the peaceful settlement of the controversy , President Cleveland said that he felt peculiar .satisfaction at what promised to be a peaceful ami honorable ending of the dispute , adding that he thought the submission to aibitration of the Venezuelan boundary in connection with the reassertion o'f the Monroe doctrine , made by his ad ministration , would probably be longer remembered than any other incident in Its history. The president expressed the opinion that the terms in which this doctrine had been staled were so plain and clear , taken in connection with the manner In which It has been emphasized by the ni'gojlatlons between this coun try and Knglnml in Us support , and which hail ended In Its practical ac ceptance by Great Itrltaln. that it would take a prominent and an honorable place In the diplomatic history of our government. Of this , ( here can be no question and Mr. Cleveland Is fully war ranted In regarding It as quite tlio most creditable chapter In thu history of his administrations. While tlu acceptance of the Monroe ductrlno by Great llrltnln' Is a signal diplomatic triumph for the Tnlted .States , It is well to consider that It Is a triumph wiilch enlarges our obligations and re sponsibilities , in thus having rccog- nlxed our right to guard and protect the Independent countries of thin hoinl- nphero agaliiHl the aggressions or Inter ference of Hiiropeaii powers , wo may jimtly bo expected to see that the coun tries thus protected Khali glvo no occa sion for foreign Interference. While having nothing to do with the im. nl affairs of these countries , tlush ihl bo made to understand thai In their In ternatlonal relations the Tnlted Slat's will expect them lo so conduct them selves as to give no eaue of Just olfciw to foreign powers. If we are to be pre pared to light for them should nn exigency arise requiring us to do , o. we certainly may Justly demand that they shall do nothing to provoke a con it let. Putting Itself in the position nf it de fender tlio 1'nlted States can fairly re quire of those lo be defended that. th.\v shall carp fully regard the principle. * which obtain in International relation : ! . Otherwise this country may be drawn Into grave controversies from time to time. Tlie practical nrpt'ptaiiPo of the Mon roe doetrlno by fJreat Britain will tin- doi'btedly lend In course of time to Its acceptance by the other Kurnpciin powers. The declaration of the i.rgnn of the nermaii government , tint ( Jer- niany will never tolerate the lnte-ven- : lion of a foreign state in the protection of fterman Interests In South nnd Cen tral America , may be regard. > d as In the nature of buncombe. < ! ornan : or any oilier lOiiropcan Interests in tlila h'-mlsphere are In no danger from the Monroe doctrine , which by its latest In terpretation simply contemplates the prevention of further acquisition of territory by Kuropcan powers in tlii quarter of the world and the safe guarding of American states against foreign aggression or attempts at spolia tion. It is tlie tlxed determination of the American people to uphold that doctrine and all Kuropo will be com pelled to accept It. ro / . ; . / ; r finiM TIIK J.\CK.\SS \ \ "Audacity ami always audacity" was a Napoleonic motto which men born truly great may still safely emulate. P.ut when the ass dons the lion's skin. imagining foolishly that he could fiae- cessfnlly perforln the role of the Icing of beasts , his braying will soon betray ids lineage and only make him ridiculous. If audacity In coining fakes and persistently palming off glaring falsehoods upon the public would con stitute an editor truly great , then the World-Herald , would Indeed loom up as the mightiest Journal of the western hemisphere. Nothing less than asinine audacity could have prompted Its principal owner and publisher to follow up Ihe London Klnnnelal News fake , which had been exploited for all It was worth during the late campaign of deception and delusion , with u personal letter to Ihe editors of leading American sound money dallies with an Impudent de mand for an apology for having de nounced the fake and Its authors. 1'nder date of November 7 , four days after election , the Omaha Fakir writes to the ItiilValo lOxpress as follows : I liavo noticed tu your paper a misrepre sentation coiH'cniliiR the publication of nn article from the London Flnnnclal Newii In tlio Omaha \Vcrld-Hor.ilil.

For unadulterated gall our jackass battery will be entitled to llrst prize leather medal at the Transmlssisslppi Exposition. It llrst published a down right forgery credited to the London Financial News of March 10 , 1MW , claiming that this fake was clipped by Its own reporters from the original copy of the London Financial News. When the fabricators of this fake were pinned down they pretended that the forgery had come to them through parties whom they considered reliable. That exposure did not , however , stop the impostors. They tried It again in : i new form by priming u garbled ex tract which they asserted was word-for- word copied from the London Financial News. This was denounced by the editor of the Financial News as spurious and radically at variance with the views of that paper. To make this denial more specille the London Financial News of August I. ! , ISlMi , positively declared that no such article as that which an Omaha paper had published under the caption , "Paste Tills in Your Hat , " had ever appeared In the Financial News.

It Is due lo Secretary Herbert to say that there has never been at the head of the navy department a man who tool ; u more earnest and xealous Interest than lie In the development of the naviil power of the nation. He has broadly recognized the necessity of building up an ndcipmtc navy and he lias exerted a strong Influence upon congress ami the country In this direction. Sec retary 'IlerK'rt's address b-fi.v : | the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Kiiglneers was : i laudation of the Ameri can navy which every patriotic rltl/.en of the country will heartily commend. It Is true ( hilt olir naval record is not the least glorlmist-lmptor In onr national history. The American sailor lias In the past proved Ids equality with those of any otliuy. nation In the world In courage and skill , \Ve have had naval commanders of j\s \ ( great ability as any the world ban produced. If we have had no such''Vea' battles as Trafalgar and some others Immortal in naval an nals , we have yet .shown a imiwiw on tlie seas that commanded the admira tion of tlio worlil. Today wo Inive a navy of which every AmerWnn Is Justly proud , for although ranking llfth or sixth among the naval powers of the world in'the number of our vessels of war , we are entitled to a higher rank when the su periority of our vessels Is considered. \\V have constructed this navy , abso lutely American throughout , for no aggressive purpose , but solely for our own protection ami security. All will hope wltji Secretary Herbert that It will not noon have any battles to light and that the fact of its existence will be sulllclent to maintain tlie rights of our citizens abroad , to aid our diplo macy and to command our peace all around the woild without llring a gun : but if it shall ever conn ? to pass , n. } the secretary said , that a foreign foe munt bo encountered in actual combat th'-ro can lie no doubt the navy will maintain tlie glorious record of the past. What will be done by the next con gress for the further upbuilding of the naval power of the nation cannot be foretold , but the progress ( hat has been made In this direction will not halt until the country Is satisfied that the navy Is adequate for any possible exigency that may arise. The expenditure al ready made has been large , but there are few who will question that It is a gooil Investment , and every dollar of it lias gone to our own people. We are stronger In the respect of tlio world for having a navy worthy of the nation. VDltKST 1'HKSKIl T.t r/O.V. The National Forestry commission will submit to congress at the approach ing session a plan for forest preserva tion and it Is to be hoped it will receive tin ; consideration which tlie importance of the matter demands. Tin1 comuils- slon lias made a careful Investigation of the condition of tlie forests , M > that Its recommendations will ho bused on actual observation , while the high character of the commissioners gives as- snnince of wise and judicious sugges tions. It Is possible that nothing will lm done by thcC present congress , but the plan submitted by the commission will be on hand for the next congress , from which some action for tlie pre servation of tlrj ) forests may safely be expected. f It is surprising jjiat after all the years of Invostlgalloirnild discussion thin sub ject has received there should still be a demand for leglbliilloii b.v congress lo nave the Co re sin''oil the public domain from dc.stnirtloii.

The plaintiff In the case alleged that the trust had In timidated a firm manufacturing wire nail machinery Into breaking Its contract to fur nish him with certain marliluci. nnd thus prevented him from engaging In thp manu facture' of wire nail.i. Strange to say , the trust's attorneys admitted the facia. Such admission onglit to bo miirieiont to kill the trust , if the anti-trust laws of the United States , or of any otate In which the trust operates , are worth anything. And If they are not , the c.-uo points to a way In which they should be amended. A TI.MK KOIl THAXICSniVIXO. ! lrln > r Fur Hi llu- Turkey nnil Hruisli Ihu Clnoiny CtiiuilM A > v y.
