in time three ring cirtms whIch imommil-
minted a state tIcket for time lOPoCimttR of
Nebraska time big tent was occupied by
time poptmiists , tvimilo the silver repub-
hicamis 1111(1 deunocrats tveie mere sIde
shows. As originally reported and
atlopted by the polnmhist comivemitlomi , tliti
stock yards plank of time loiflhiist pint-
form was worded as follows :
Tlio stock yards of South Omaha are neces-
arily patronized by the people of this state ;
its business Is public emitS not. private ; the
stack yards company charges extortionate
prices for the services It renders and for
the grain and hay It supplies ; It. has issued
millions of dollars of watered stock on which
the people are compelled to pay Interest ; It
refuses relief , It bribes legislatures , It piun-
ders our people and has secured injunctIon
against all laws whIch seek to prevent Its
unjust exactions ; It Is a giant monopoly
creiited by captains of industry. For these
reasons we favor the ownership of a stock
yards at South Omaha by the state Itself ,
such ownership to be secured either by the
purchase of the present yards , at its actual
value , or the establishment of another stock
yards. And if the state cannot secure the
otvner liip of the present stock yards at Its
actual value , then we favor a law levying
an occupation tax against the stock yards
company of a. tiefinito gross sum vhich shall
ho equal to all the interest paid on the
watered stock of the company , The stock
growers of Nebraska must no longer be corn-
pelletS to pay dividends on fictitious capital
which represents nothing butfraud and dis-
honesty.
Although timls declaration lmssod time
convention wlthmout a ( unseating vote , time
stock yards plank roused a lioruiets' nest
hut time ettiiiiis of the reform aihics. The
itlatforin w-ts promptly recommitted au

tioeiiuteuit time original stock yards plank
was found to imave ieeii reconstructed

We demand a speedy determinatIon of
the litigation Involving the validity of the
stock yards act , regulating charges for feed
and yardage , to the end that It may . be
determined , if said act. is ineffectual , what
stops should be taken to reduce said yards
to state ownership.-

Ingiess as It could possibly be made

They all Indorse Bryan and declare that
there can bo no "permanent prosperity'
until a law has been enacted for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 tel , and
untih cheap free coinage dollars can be used
retroactively in th payment of gold standard -

The government is making extraordinary
efforts to save the sunken ships of Admiral
Cervora's squaduin. Herculean efforts are
needed to secure these valuable prizes , par.
ticulariy as the hurricane season in time
West Indies is approaching. Two of the
fine Spanish tyar ships , it Is reported , at.
heast , vIii be recovered and in shape to be
utilized front the voracious sea , It even the
wreckage of the others can be brought
ashore or placed beyond the power of the
waves until there is an opportunity to remove -
move It it may prove to be valuable. In
view of the posiblc early outbreak of severe
storms on the Cubnn coasts it Is earnestly
hoped that the good work of savlng the
ships vihl be as briiiant and complete a sue-
cesa as was the endeavor of the American
fleet on July 3 to destroy them.

Chicago Record.
In discussing a paper by Judge Seymour
Dexter of New York in opposition to postal
savings banks , in which lie said that the
"domain of our government should be confined -
fined to guarding supervising and educating -
ing Its citizens in the possession and hand-
111mg of their own property , " The Omaha
lice remarks :
"The logic of this position may be in har.j
unony with the exploded theories that would
confine the junctions of government to the
collection of taxes aulUciont to maintain
order and pay the actual coat of iawmaklng
and judicial administration , but it is not in
harmony with the conditions under which a
nation of 70,00i.000 carries on Its vast corn-
nuerce and must provide for the well-being
of Its industrial population.S S Jf is
vatornahisnz to use the machinery of the
postothhce for the safe keeping of the peo-
pie's aavh&mgs , is It not also paternalism for
time postofllco to usurp time function of banks
by Issuing money orders payable lu distant
cities or to perform. the function of the express -
press companies In carrying and delivering
parcels and packages from place to place ?
If it is eminently proper for the government
to guard , uperv1e and educate its citizens ,
why Is it not also proper for the government
to educate its citizens Into habits of thrift
and by becoming tIme custodian of their say-
togs make them directly interested in time
stability of the g vernrnent and the Bound-
ness of Its moneyV'
This is well put , The duty of the govern-
macnt to educate its citizens is not confined
to making provision for schools In which
reading , writing and the elementary
branches of learning can be taught , It Is
equally the duty of the government to make
provialon for educating its citizens in all
that conititutes citizenship. It should help
to incuicate in them habits of thrift that are
as Important to the weil.belug of the nation
as 18 knowledge of the writtei branche ! .
