lu olden times men were not afraii
to call n spade a spade. "Thou shal
not commit adultery" was written 01
the sacred tablets. That , was the orlhu
dox version of what Nebraska reforii
fuslonlsta would politely call nil cdlc
against "mixing up without Identity.1
.Some might have railed It co-operatlv
cohabitation , but the offense would hav
been the same. Children born oulsld
of wedlock might be called Hie oirsprliij

law and language of the bible they oc
ctipy the position of bastards.
Politically speaking the merging o
the populist party with the democrat
for the sake of spoils may be callo <
fusion , co-operation , or any other name
but for all that It constitutes polltlca
adultery. It Is a case of political inlsco
genatlon that is repellant to every scull
meiit which animated the founders o
populism , who saw less redecmlm
virtue In democracy than they did ii
republicanism and proclaimed eterua
hostility to both because they believe !
them to be enemies of all true reform.
To gloss over the cardinal sin o
political prostitution at the price o
spoils by calling It "co-operation" o
"mixing up without identity" Is re
pngnnnt to all political morals. Sue !
unnatural combination can boar IK
other fruit than Sodom apples , atlruc

A. M1SCHIKVUUS AG1TAT1UX.
Immigration has been light for Severn
years. Last year thn population was in
creased from tills source not to exceei
JOO.OOO , making a reasonable allowanci
for the number of aliens who retiu-nei
to their native countries. Of course tin
industrial depression here bad the offec :
to reduce immigration' and now that con
dltlons nro Improving the advocates ol
further restrictions ou immigration , whc
will be content with nothing short ol
stopping It altogether , are renewing thcii
agitation. The center of tills is at Ho *
ton , where there is a league which is
continually sending out appeals for the
further restriction on Immigration. The
most recent of those urges that tlio ln <
flow of immigrants will increase again
and suggests that a time when the tide
if Immigration is low Is Just the time
when permanent restrictive measure * :
can be adopted with least hardship 01
nconvenience to any person interested.
We regard this agitation ns mis
chievous from the point of view of our
own interests. It Is perhaps to be ex
pected that as better conditions obtain
here immigration will somewhat in
crease , but there is little reason to ap
prehend that tills will bo to an extent
which need cause any alarm to any class
if our people. The conditions in European
countries generally are not so bad as to
ncite large numbers of the people to
emigrate. In nearly all those countries
abor is well employed and while it is
true the cost of living has advanced that
s also the case here. There Is no sub
stantial reason for the professed fear of
i llood tide of Immigration.

The agrarians of Germany are still ,
iccordiug to'the latest advices , vigor-
> usly advocating a tariff war against
the United .States , Tills element , which
embraces the great landowners of the
country , exerts a powerful Influence
with the government , but it Is con
fronted by a very formidableopposi
tion. The manufacturers and the Im-
wrters do not want a tariff war , for
while some of the former have already
o.st some American trade , it appears
that quite generally thu German inniiu-
'acturers have little reason to complain.
As to the importers , of course such a
'ommerclal contest as the agrarians
irge would practically ruin their biusi-
less and It seems hardly possible that
ho government will adopt a policy
which would have tlili result , with most
lamaging consequences also to the
ocean transportation interest of the
lallou. There is another element , also ,
which must be considered and that Is
tlie consumers who nro not producers
> f agricultural products. These are
low feeling the burden of higher prices
uul it Is pressing upon them with In
creasing severity. Bread Ls high , meats
ire higher than for many years , but the
wages of labor have not Increased. The
government would find it extremely
lllllciilt to Justify action Hint would
still further enhance the cost of living
mil augment tlio burden on the great
> ody of consumers , In order to satisfy
lie demand of tlio landowners and their
idherents.
As an organ of the agrarians says ,
hero are certain American products
vhlch Germany must have , but our
noats are not among these and Ihoro-
'oro ' the more complete exclusion of
lieso may be adopted. Well , the govern-
ncnt cannot go very much further In
his direction , so that HUTU Is nothing
very alarming In this threat. If all
\mcrlcan meats should bo absolutely
shut out of the German markets the
u'ffect would undoubtedly bo less serl-
msly felt by us than by the masses of
ho German people. It would mean the
> anshinent ! of meat from tlio tables of
umdreds of thousands of the German
leople. Pork has now reached n price
hero that makes it a luxury out of the
each of the masses of the people and of
ourse other meats will sympathise.
: iow long can a policy which produces
his state of affairs ho maintained with
out creating a widespread dissatisfac
tion which might give the government
serious trouble ? How long would the
nassea of the people tamely submit to n
lollcy distinctly m the interest of n
class-nnd that class the wealthiest In
ho empire nnd which subjected them
to privation and hardship ? There uro
no uioro loyal people oil uartu than the
I Gerinnn people , but they mny ) drlvei
to resent , In vu-y vigorous f.ishl.ui , :
course that would largely add to life's
already luird burden.
Krnneo has ceased talking about r
tariff war and her government Is taklni
tht < wlso nnd practical course of en
denvorlng to secure the advantage ;
' proposed In the reciprocity provisions elI
I our tariff law. There Is every reason U
expect that It will be successful In this
to the mutual hcncllt of both nations
The way may not bu quite so clear foi
Germany to accomplish much In Ihb
direction , but something may be done
and however slight the bi'iiellt It would
bo better than a tariff war. We have
however , never beuu seriously apprehensive
hensivo of such a war ami do not now
think that danger of H has Increased.

The Nebraska State fair this yeni
opens under more favorable auspice- :
than any of Its predecessors , ami Its
prospects for success could not well be
more encouraging. With unexampled
crops throughout the statue fiom which tr

factured articles developed as never be

In tlie matter of attendance everything
points to the greatest number of visitors' '
that ever passed through tlie gates In the
same number of days. In the first plaeu
- ho fair has been thoroughly advertised ,
as well as sharing In the general adver
tisement which has been accorded the
state by Us wonderful crops and rapidly
advancing prosperity. Farmers and
townsmen have already begun to experi
ence the benefits of good times and arc
better situated than for years for taking
advantage of the attractions of the
State fair. Add to this the in
fluence of the gorgeous pageants
and brilliant Illuminations promised for
the Ak-Sar-len festivities , and ( lie fair
week program should prove almost Ir
resistible to everyone in Nebraska and
surrounding territory who can afford to
spend a day or two in instructive , prollt-
able and enjoyable recreation.

There Is no doubt that the Spanish
people believe Unit in the event of n
war with the United States their coun
try would have a very good chance ,
single-handed , of winning , and this
view is very likely shared by some
Spanish statesmen. Tills Is indicated by
the interview with the naval attache of
the Spanish mission at London , who
while on the whole quite modest in his
statements , still makes plain his belief
that Spain could inflict a great deal of
injury on the United States. "We could
certainly lay waste American seaboard
cities , " ho remarked , and he appeared
not to have a very exalted opinion of
the American navy. On the other hand ,
most AiUL'i'icans are equally confident
that in a Avar wilh Spain the United
States would whip that country easily
and that when tlie war was ended vw
should have hardly a scar as n reminder
of the contest.
It must bo obvious to everybody who
can look at the matter without prejudice
that tills country would have a consider
able advantage in a war with Spain
single-handed. Our naval force Is larger
than hers and Vi ; have more powerful
v..uships. . It is true tlie difference in
not very great , but it Is sutiicient lo
give us mi advantage and with our
vastly greater resources we should be
able In a very brief tiniL to iiu-iease the
advantage. Having the friend-liip of
the Cuban Insurgents , whose independ
ence we would assure , there would"be
no very great dlflleulty in obtaining
possession of that island and also of
Porto Ulco , which being accomplished
of course we. . should hold them not
with a view to permanent possession ,
perhaps , but to forever deprive Spain
of them. This would probably require
only a cruiser or two and a few gun
boats , leaving nearly our entire naval
force to confront that of Spain as it
came forward to "lay waste ; " to our
seaboard cities. Of course no one knows
how effective our navy would lie , but
there seems to be excellent reason to
think it would meet every demand upo.t
it. 11 is also to be said that we are nut
quite -so badly off in tlie matter of coast
defuiise as Hie Spanish admiral evi
dently thinks , though these would not
bu an entirely wife reliance , for we have
not the trained artillerists to man the
guns. Still some of these defense.- )
would be found useful.
Hut ( hero is not llkel.v to bo a test of
the relative Avar power of Spain and the
I idled States. Tlio two countries will
not go to war , because tlio conservative
< entiment in each is strong enough to
hold In check those who would incite
war. *
The organization of a national associa
tion of pioneer republicans who voted
for John C. Kremont for president as
the first candidate of thu republican
party is an Interesting Incident from tlie
Idstoriual standpoint. As the Fremont
ampaign took place in 1ST > ( I , or forty-one
vonrs ago , the youngest man eligible in
membership in the society must b , > 012
wars of ago. The membership moii-.ovcr
when once tilled out must in the nature
) f things bo a constantly decreasing one.
At tlio same time It is dllllcult to sett
what an association formed on such lines
an hope to accomplish beyond reviving
i peculiar old-fellowship and cniplmxl/-
ng the principles for which the repub
lican party was formed.

Ord Quiz : A strong populist offlccholdc
who draws a big salary In thli judicial dlr
trict told the Quiz man just before the rt
publican state convention that the bralnlce
man on the supreme bench was Jiulgo 1'csl
He also called nttentlon to the fact tha
Judge- Post seldom rendered a dlsscntlu
opinion , for his opinions were usually th
opinions of the tourt. Such a man 'Is th
kind of n man to keep on the bench.
Ncllgh Loader : H has been the ono grca
dcslro of the populist party to obtain con
ttol of the supreme court of the state , ye
just as soon ns It had an opportunity t
elect a member It threw It asldo an
nominated n democrat for the position. He
twcen Judge Sullivan and the populist part
there Li no bond ot union , unless It be th
silver Ibsue , and he Is a little weak on thai
Ho is a very respectable kind ot democrat
but a mighty poor populist.
Auburn Post : ( Attorney General Smytl
has written a letter Instructing county judge
to appoint the election board * from the Hire
loidlng parties nnd that they must gucs
at Iho vote polled by the democrats and pop
ullsts Ust fall and not consider the fusioi
ticket ono ticket but two. Uy followlni
such a ruling \\o will liave a partisan elec
tlon board in every voting precinct In th
state instead ot a nonpartlsdti one , as th
law heretofore contemplated.
North Plattu Tribune : U Is learned tha
a number of loading democrats of the cit ;
and county have received letter. ! from tin
state fusion headquarters Intimating tha
t.iey must withdraw the democratic tlcko
In this county or okso make some arrange
incut for a fti-don with the populists of tin
county. H remains to be seen whether tin
democrats of the county will do the blddlni
uf the democratic-populist state ring , o
which the very good SI Holcomb Is the re
puled head.
Beatrice Democrat : Thcro has been con. .
siderable kicking because the pop loglslatun
appropriated $10,000 to support an Investlgat
ing committee to check up the state lustltu
llo.-s that should have bccv.i checked up without -
out extra cost to the state and by thu clcrki
In the auditor's oillco. The kickers seem U
think that the pops have no right to stea
even $10,000 , as though It was a large sun
to steal. The fact la that the pops don'l
set their noses into the trough very oftin
but when they do the swill flics.
Auburn Granger : Wo cannot accept the
advice of a number of our friends In the fu
sion ranks relative to keeping quiet In re
gard to official dishonesty among member !
of the party or parties. For years we have
been holding up to public gaze the crooked
work of ropubllczn officials , and now when
those who POFO as reformers are guilty ol
crooked work , they , too , shall be exposed
If the party that recently came Into powev
In the state wants to hold tlio reins of gov-f
ornmeDt U can do so only by honesty uni !
straightforward work. Cussodncss must h
condemned anill not condoned , for he that I.
faithful .V little will bo faithful In much
( 'andvicuy. . versr-y.and the same. " Already
niough of reckless legislation End olllrlal
grasping has been made manifest to cause
the republicans to shout for joy , nnd the
only reason those misdoings will not causa
a stampede frornl the party Is because , with
all its errors , shortcomings and grasping ,
! he new party has nowhere near come up to
tlio republicans , who have held the reins
of government for so imry years.
Scward Reporter : The pronunclamcnto ol
Attorney fJenoral Smyth on the matter o'
the appointment of judges and clerks o'
election is a specimen of non-partlsanshlr ,
such as couM ho expected from no
body but a pop-crat. .Mr. Smyth says that
county Judges must take notice that thrc
was a populist party and a dpmocrath party
last fall , though both voted for the Game
men , and , there is no possible way of telling
them apart. Judges and clerks must bo
appo'nted from each of these two organiza
tions , sas'S the learned attorney general ,
mid if a county judge falls or refuses to d
this , he should bp compelled to do BO by
a writ nt mandamus from the district court.
It Is hardly probable that district Judged
will undertake to compel a c unty Jude ;
to toke official noticeof a matter that could
not bo proven , and Mr. Smyth's plan .would .
mrut likely miscarry. The solons who pssaeil
tha law should have stated In plain terms
that It was Intended to give ths nryanltes
the control i f every election board In tli'1
Rtatu and made the Inngtugc so plain that
any county judge could understand It. That
seeing to be the Intention of the law , as
Interpreted hy Sir. Attorney General Smyth.

The latest announcement regarding tin
prolonged state of war between Turkey am' '
Greece Is that "the text of the revised trcalj
of peace fixes the Indemnity to bo paid bj
Greece to Turkey at 4.000.000. The stale
ot war U to cease ns soon ns "the prelimi
nary act" Is slrmed and the evacuation ol
Thcssaly by Turkish troops Is to take plact
n month after the powers shall have recog
nized the treaty. An international commit * ,
slot * Is to bo established , at Athens to con
trol the Indemnity loan and other state
debts.
It appears from this that Turkey gets
a "strategic rectification of the frontier , "
which probably means an easy Job for the
Turk If he takes It Into his head to give
Greece another trounclnp. Hut on the other
hand , ho gives up the most of Thcssaly ,
which , from the Turkish point of view , Is
a humiliating conccralcm. It Is a sort ot re
ligious principle with the Turk never to
let go of anything he gets his hands on.
Ho propagates his religion by force , and ecu.
iiucst Is part of his religion. Therefore the
fact that he has decided to evacuate the
most of Thi'Rsnly goes to show that tlio
powers really have Influenced him to some
extent In spite of the Turkophllo kaiser of
Germany.
Hut Greece is not spared humiliation. It
Is not agreeable1 to have to surrender points
of great strategic advantage to a more pow
erful and not very , pacllc ( neighbor. And ,
then , besides having to pay an Indemnity
of $20.000.000 , which she can 111 afford. It
Is particularly galling to Greece to be dis
credited by having an International com
mission established and maintained In Athens
to see that she meets her pecuniary obliga
tions.
If this Is not a reflection upon the hcn-
psty of Greece It is certainly a reflection
upon her finrnclal ability , which a selt-re-
spectlnpr ruler by divine right might bo expected - >
pectod to resent with much Indignation.

MlulilKiin Court.
Detroit Journal.
The supreme court , has decided that nn
employe may not give away the secrets of
his employer. If n man accept a job In the
service of another who Is engaged In the
manufacture of an article whoso value Is de
pendent on the knowledge of how It Is man
ufactured hu obligates himself to withhold
that knowledge from the public and also to
abstain from employing It to benefit himself.
The case on which the decision Is based
: ame from Grand Kaplds. A man entered
: ho service of a firm which wr.n engaged In
the manufacture of sticky-fly paper. The
processes of manufacture worn secret nnd
jealously guarded from the public. The ma-
' ' likewise was of a secret pattern.
The employe possessed himself of the knowl-
elgo of the formula tiud thn machinery dur
ing the course of his ( .ervico. When dls-
mlristvl from service he opened negotiations
to promote a company to manufacture sticky
Uy paper according to the secret formula of
hia former employer.
Tinllrm thereupon secured process to en
join the man from making use or the H'eret
knowledge acquired while In Its service.
The lower court sustained the order and
made it a continuing ono. The Biipromo
court In an opinion by Mr. Justice Moore
rlllrms the deolttlon of the lower court and
Issues process forsver restraining the em
ploye from ualng 1ho secret formula of the
sticky fly paper making fiTm.
The court holds that the relation of the
Qrta and Its employe was a confidential ono.
That while that relation continued the om-
ployo was Intrusted with secrets which are
and wore the sole and exclusive property of
the firm. Those secrets have tangible vuluo
and amount to a possession ns sacred as the
po ) csslon of real estate. The employe hud
no more legal right to sell those secrets or
to use them to Injure the business of the
firm than ho would have to sell Its real es
tate.
tate.Tho
The decision Is a sweeping ono but It la
'ortlfied by unanswerable logic and' ' numcroux
.UatloiiH from the decisions of courtu of j
other states on analogous cases. It will
[ irovo to be both salutary and effective In
restraining the sale of trade aecretH by dis

Now York Post : The derision as to the
power of removal rendered by Judge I'ov
ot the District of Columbia supreme court.
In not liii.il , but his juBltlon Is so thor
oughly buttressed by opinions of the I'nlted
States supreme court in various pomls In
volved tlut there seems every reason to ex
pect that It will 'be ' sustained by thu bight r
tribunal.
Detroit Journal : Judge COX'B ruling that
the power of removal from , olllc' la an In
cident to the power ot appointment. If sus
tained by the supreme court , \\ill forever
shut out of court those appointed for a stated
term who are cashiered ns n coiwquonro
of a change ot Iho appointing power. In
other words , the appointees of ono oxocti-
tlvo or administrative .omrlal will huvi < no
cinch on their places when another appoint
ing power succeeds to ollice.
Now York Commercial Advertiser : It Is to
bo hoped that this matter will not bo al
lowed to rest hero. Judge Cox's construc
tion of the civil service act Is plainly not
that which baa been always fo'lowrd , i d
It Is Important thnt there should bo. no un
certainty anil confusion as lo the rules which
It Is within tin- province ot the adml Istra
tlon to adopt respecting removals fi-rm of
fice. An appeal ahould be taken to the
United States supreme court without dcliy.
Detroit Kri'c Press : The decision IH a
very broad ono and covers more ground
than It se"ms to nt first glance. It cluil-
longcs directly the power , nol only of the
Civil Service commission , but of the presi
dent to make any rules restricting- the np-
polntlng power In the matter of removals.
The Judge holds not only that the courts
cannot enforce the rules nnd that the hold
ers of positions are therefore remediless In
case of injustice , but that there is no power
In president or commission to make rules
which are even binding on themselves ,
Springfield Republican : AVe rannot how
ever , regard Judge Cox's decision as of vast
consequence touching the reform of tha civil
service. Had ho reached u contrary con
clusion nnd sustained the protest of thu
( /listed superintendent of mnlls nt I.oulsvll'o.
the effect wruld not have been to dejrlvo
the appointing power or the executive of ( ill
right ot d'.si-i-ctlonary removal. It won'd '
have simply compelled the executive power
to live up to Its own regulations while those
regulations were nominally In force. The
executive would still have boon left f'oc to
repeal the regulations or to modify them at
ivlll.
