W. fJ. Swnri of Teciimseh urges thn _
fuslonl.ttrt of Nebraska through the Ne
braska Independent , the otllclal organ
of the populist party , to make tin-It
batlle cry In the present campaign , "Ito-
mi'tnlHT Hartley ! " This would be a
happy Idea If It did not also rorall the
stubborn , disagreeable fact that (5ov-
nrnor Holromb Is as much or more re-
H | > oii5lllr ) > for the lo of the public
moneys stolen by Hartley as the PHI-
bfzxler who Is now paying the penalty
of his crime.
( jovernor Ilulcomti c/innot truthfully
deny that he was warned before lit1
entered the olllco of governor that Hart-
Icy would turn out a defaulter. He was
told before Hartley presented his bond
that Hartley had declared he would not
make an exhibit of the public ftindt pre
sumed to lx : In his possession but would
resign If forced to make such a show-
Ing. Governor Holcomb cannot truth
fully deny that the editor of The Hen
urged him to compel Hartley to mnko
cash settlement before he approved his
bond for a second 'term.
Had the governor done his duty the
loss to the state would have been trivial
Instead of running Into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars. At the very worst
It could not have exceeded ? 1. > 0.000 and
that deficiency would doubtless have
been iniiilo good by the sureties on the
first term bond.
Instead of putting an end to the em
bezzler's career at the Threshold when
he came Into olllce , Governor Holcomb
allowed himself to be bamboozled Into
accepting worthless pieces of paper as a
snfllclent accounting nnd Hartley was
given the freedom of the state treasury
fur two years longer. Through this
favor of the populist governor Hartley
was enabled not only to hold on to the
money alruidy stolen but al5o to In
crease bis shortage by over $500,000.
Under the constitution the governor Is
empowered to require at any time a
written statement under oath ConcernIng -
Ing the condition of the treasury and nn
itemized exhibit of the money In the
treasurer's possession. Had Governor
Holcomb exercised this power fearlessly
ho would have cut short Hartley's farmIng -
Ing of public funds and saved the tax
payers hundreds of thousands of del
lars. Hut the populist governor , for rea
sons best known to himself , did not
seem inclined to Interfere with Hartley's
linancial operations and made no effort
to protect the taxpayers , even aft.T the
treasury shortage had become n public
scandal.
It is eminently proper that Hartley
should be rpinemlMrcd and his punish
ment belli up as a warning to otli'-r men
disposed to betray public trusts. In re
membering Hartley , however , the culpa
bility of Holcomb cannot be forgotten
and the one cannot IM _ > made an Issue In
the present campaign without bringing

A SinXIWCANT STATKMHXT.
Hefore 'departing ' for Paris on Satur
day Ponce Commissioner Duy said to a
reporter that he thought the terms
which the United Slates will propose to
Spain will bo regarded as reasonable
and that the work of the commission
will not be Impeded by useless discus
sion , lie also "xprcssed the belief that
there will be practically no change , after
conference with the Spanish commis
sioners , In the terms which the Ameri
can commissioners have been Instructed
to submit.
The inevitable inference from this is
that our commissioners will not demand
the entire Philippine archipelago , be
cause that would certainly not bo re
garded by Spain as a reasonable de
mand. It Is of course well understood
at Washington that Spain desires to re
tain a portion of the Philippines , so that
If the terms to be- offered by the Ameri
can commissioners are exacted to be
regarded as reasonable the demand of
this government may comprehend a
more limited terrHory than It 1ms been
commonly supposed would be required.
It may not go beyond the territory now
occupied by the American forces that
s , the city and suburbs of Manila-with
of course thn bay. It Is more prolxible ,
however , that our commissioners are In
structed to demand the entire Island of
Luzon , the largest , richest and most pop
ulous of the group. Very likely the
Spanish government Is prepared for
such n demand , whatever it may think
of Its reasonableness.
In regard to 'the ' other statement of
Judge Day , that the terms agreed upon
at Washington will be adhered to , It
agrees with what was given out by the
State department a few days ago. This
olllclal statement was that It will be
made clear to the Spanish commission
ers at the very outset that , as In the
case of the preliminary protocol , there
can be no deviation from or mocllllcatlon
of the demands made by the United
States. Doubtless the Spanish govern
ment is already aware of this , so that
Its commissioners will go to Paris fully
understanding the very simple part they
are to play there , unless the government
Is disposed to adopt a policy of obstruc
tion nud delay In the negotiations a
charat-terlstlu course , though one which
In this case would certainly be fruitless.
The Inference from what Judge Day
said Is reassuring for those who believe
the United States should not retain
posw.sslon of all the Philippines.
KUIIOI'KAN ll'.l/t CLOUDS.
The conditions which seem to threaten
a European \\nr may not prove to be so
grave mid serious as the correspondents
represent them. Matters quite as menac
ing to the peace of Kurope have within
the last half a dozen years been settled
by diplomacy nnd the nations are prob
ably less disused now to go to war than
at almost any time In the past. All are
well prepared Great Hritaln with Its
powerful navy and the continental pow
ers with .their Htrong armies. It Is this
readiness for war which Is belleved to
bo the best safeguard against 11 conflict.
Still the conditions are unquestionably
threatening and It would seem to de
pend chletly upon Great Hritain
whether war Is averted.
The nation that should break < the long
peace of Kuropo would assume a tre
mendous repouslblllty. Since the end ol
thti Inst wur between HiiHsda nnd Tur-
, key. In 1S7S , Kitrojtenii troops have met
on the battlefield only In the brief and
one-sided conflict between Turkey nnd
Greece. Prior to 1S7S It was rare for a
decade to pass without n bloody struggle
between two of the leading nations of
Kurope. Only HX ! years elapsed be
tween the beginning of the Uusso-
Turkish war'of 1S77-7S nnd the vml of
he war between 1'iunce and Germany ,
'our years previous to the latter war
\ustrhi and Prussia were engaged In a
. onlllct that resulted In the defeat of the
' .rmer , Italy being Involved in the war
) ii the side of Prussia. This was only
seven years after the Italian army had
fought with the French against the
\U8trtans and this latter war came but
hree years after peace was declared be-
ween Russia nnd the allies Unit won
lie tedious struggle In the Crimea.
Thus In a jK'rlod of about n quarter of
a century before 1878 there were several
great European wars , all of them mo-
nentous In their consequences to the
mtlons involved.
Thus since 1S7S Europe has had Its
ongest period of peace among the luul-
ng powers. It has been n period of
continual preparation for possible war
ind many 'times ' during the twenty
vears dlllictiltles have arisen which
seamed at the time to render war in-
vltnble , but as already observed these
itivo been dlposed of by diplomacy.
This justlllps expectation that the ques-
Ions which now appear to threaten th ?
K-ace of Europe will be settled wrthout
war. Moreover , there Is no European
uler who wants war , but on the con-
.rary all profess to earnestly deshv the
reservation of i > eace. There isaid to
H' a good deal of war feeling In Kng-
and , but It is certain that it is not
shared by the fiu < vu or by Lord Salls-
> ury. France. It Is safe to say , will not
irovoke war by lusl.-tlng upon what ap-
ears to be an entirely untenable posi-
Ion In Egypt. The czar lias very re-
enlly given pretty conclusive evidence
of his desire that.peace shall bo nialn-
nlned and Emperor William Is believed
o bo In hearty sympathy with him.
England will doubtless take dtflshv
r.casures to redress the murder of her
jailors in Crete , but this circumstance islet
lot likely to lead to war.
All things considered and without 1111-
lerratlng the threatening nature of tlr ;
onditiuns , it s.H-ms a safe conclusion
hat the disturbing questions will be
settled without ti conflict of arms.

The primary object of the exposition
'rom the day of Its Inception has been
o raise Nebraska In the good opinions
jf eastern Investors and of prospective
settlers. Its scope was broadened and
ill trnnsmUslssIppi states were Invited
o Join wtlh Nebraska In making an ex-
ilblt of their products , industries and
I'atorial resources.
Thirty-three states and three terrl-
; orles , Canada and Mexico were thus
rouglit into friendly competition.
These commonwealths have placed lie-
fore the world an object lesson which
mist have a far-reaching effect In simp-
ng their future development. The un-
inalilleil success of the undertaking
ugalnst great odds furnishes an Illus
tration of western pluck which within
Itself must place the west upon n higher
plane In the estimation of progressive
[ icoplo the world over.
The war with Spain , unfortunately ,
for a time operated to deft at the one
great object of the promoters of the ex
position. Popular intere < t centered In
the operations of our armies and navy.
A mill-west celelnatlon of the triumphs
of peace was foi gotten In Hi.- excite
ment attending the conflict with Spain.
Since the cessation of hostilities , bow-
ever , the tide has turned , the people
are coming to visit the exposition and
the railroads have seen the wisdom ot
offering low rates effective throughout
n wide territory.
'The peace Jubilee in October will
mark the full consummation of the plans
of the projectors of the exposition. It
In attracting popular attention in every
state In the un.'on. President McKln-
ley and members of the cabinet , In their
acceptance of Invitations to participate
In the Jubilee , have nationalized the
event and have , moreover , recognized
the exposition as an enterprise worthy
of their encouragement and suppnit.
Such recognition at the hands of the
chief executive of the nation is having
a most potent inlluence upon the people
at large , who will continue to come in
large numbers , not only to see the
president , his councillors and generals ,
but to enjoy the manifold attractions
attending the exposition. To say noth
ing of the benellcent results that must
come to the exposition by reas-on of the
president's visit , his coming must prove
of Inestimable advantage to the whole
west , as it cannot fall to direct atten
tion of all Intelligent persons through
out the nation to the west and particu
larly to the states and territories par
ticipating In the exposition.
With this view of the matter , It be
hooves Omaha as a city to make sure
that preparations are at once made
properly to entertain the vast throngs
that will visit the city during Jubilee
week. An occasion that promises to
eclipse any event In the history of
Omaha calls for extraordinary efforts
to put the city in readiness for It. A
scheme of decoration of all principal
streets nnd of entertainments on n
scale befitting the dignity and Im
portance of n visit by the presldent or
the republic should bo adopted without
delay.
The Fourth ward has always been
one of the banner republican wards of
Omaha. Its flattering endorsement or

JIaIno Is a small state , with only four
representatives In the lower house at Wash
ington , yet It Is hardly too much to say
that Maine exercises more Influence In con-
cress than any' other state In the union.
The reason Is'thht It gets the benefit of
experience by returning the same men to
congress term After term. Length of serv
ice , as well as the knowledge gained by ex
perience , counts' for much at Washington.

and to the country such good service as
these experienced legislators , who , with the
exception of Heed , are not especially brainy
men.

The west must learn that continuity of
service Is ono of the conditions of coed
service. The constituency that changes Its
representative In congress every two or four
years cannot xpcct to send to Washington
men who will wield much Influence. A
fairly able man with experience lu congress
is In a position to render much more effect
ive service there than a more brilliant roan
who lacks experience ,
H Is gratifying to gee In Illinois and In
the neighboring states a growing disposition
to renomlnate ant ) re-elect to congress Men
who have rendered fairly good service. The
tendency should bet encouraged.

Kansas City Star : It Is reported that the
entire expense of the Omaha exposition has
been lifted and that there is a surplus In
the treasury of $13,000. The show will not
close until November 1 , and a month and a
half of the most favorable sort of weather
for seeing It still remains. To use a com
mon figure of speech , the management of
thi ! exposition is now "on velvet. " The
public will feel sincerely satisfied over this
cheerful report. An admirable spirit of en
terprise wns manifested by Omaha In going
Into the affair In the face of some doubt
at least on the outside as to whether It
would pay. The attraction Is worthy of all
the patronage It hns received or will get.
The west Is feeling good over the termina
tion of the wnr , many of the soldiers who
have returned will want to visit the expo
sition , and the 1st of November ought to
ECO n snug surplus In the hands ot the man
agement.

O'Neill Frontier ( rep. ) : Poyntcr la a Krc.it

iinunrp the railroads and the men who nc-
ccpt passes nnd at the same tlmo have his
Inside pocket * well filled with the Ilttlo

lllnlr Pilot ( rep. ) : The argument that
Hitchcock Is a public spr.tker has but little
effect when It bumps up agnlnst the argu
ment that Dave Mercer Is a public worker.
Dave's record In the.Interest of his constit
uents should c-mlly elect him. He has been
tried nnd not found wanting.
Hastings Tribune ( rep. ) : If the populists
would only reform their own party Instead
of sa > lng they nro going to reform polttlcJ
they might have something to show for
their work ; but ns It Is they arc letting
their own party become corrupt without
making the faintest attempt to purify It.
North l.oup Clarion ( rep. ) : Ily the way ,
we have henrd no oxplnnntlon as to why that
sleeks yards resolution which was before the
fusion stale convention was so modified as
r.ot to be recognizable after the would-be
Governor Poyntcr und Senator Allen paid a
visit to South Omaha before the convention
finished Its business.
Hastings Tribune ( rep. ) : If Poyntcr Is
: x prohibitionist we admire him for It , but
at the tame time we condemn him and
pronounce him a coward for letting go his
good convictions to grasp at a nomination
on a make-believe-reformers' ticket nnd at
the same time neither deny nor acknowl
edge that he Is n prohibitionist.
Hrndshaw Republican ( rep. ) : The demo-
pop state ofilcrrs have traveled 633,000
mllrs the last year on free railroad passes ,
which , at the regular fare , reaches the
sum of $21,000. Not very much for the
railroads to put up to keep the reformers
quiet. It con hardly be construed to mean
that the railroads think that the salary
these gentlemen get Is BO pmall that they
take them for objects of charity. Let the
case bo as It may It Is n subject worth
studying.
Ncllgh Leader ( rep. ) : After all the ex
ploiting of the populist administration of
the stntc school fund the fact Is undenia
ble that not until recently did the coll"c-
tlons and disbursements leach the figures
of the republican administration previous
to the advent of the hard times. The col
lections fo far for 1S93 have been good , yet
they only equal those of the same period
of 1S92. National republican prosperity Is
alone responsible for the recuperation of
the school fund.
Central City Nonpareil ( rep. ) : Mr. Poyn-
ter seems to be a very good politician by the
way he Is harmonizing some of the opposing
elements. The Star of the Kmplre , one of
the strongest prohibition papers In the state ,
U out supporting him In prose and poetry ,
while the Nebraska Liquor Dealer , the organ
of the liquor trade of the state , Is also giv
ing him Its support and assures Its readers ,
with every Indication of knowing what It
Is talking about , that Mr. Poynter Is no
enemy to the liquor traffic. He Is certainly
a very adept straddler , but the campaign is
not over and he may yet be brought face
to face with the stern necessity of declaring
himself on the liquor question. He can't
hope to carry water on one shoulder nnd
whisky on the other through the entire
campaign.
Kearney Democrat ( dem. ) : The World-
Herald Tuesday morning issued a call for a
democratic congressional convention for the
Sixth district to bo held at Broken Dow on
Friday , September 30. This call is signed
by John O. Mahcr and C. H. Scott. The pur
pose of calling this convention at Broken
I3ow and on two weeks' notice appears In
an editorial In the World-Herald the same
day. The Worl'd-Horald's editorial Is unpro
fessional , undemocratic and base pettifog
gery. It charges that "no democrat will op
pose Mr. Greene's endorsement unless he
has republican money In his pocket , " nnd
"tho democrat who opposes that nomination
must be prepared to assume the burden of
the proof that hn has not been paid by the
republican committee to throw obstacles to
Mr. Greene's re-election. " It Is hard to
think of anything more debasing and undem
ocratic than the language employed above by
the World-Herald impugning the honesty of
any democrat who opposes plastering the
name of Greene upon the democratic ticket
In this district. The World-Herald knows
Its words are unjust , untrue and dishonestly
unprofessional. It knows that Its charge
that every democrat who opposes Greene's
nomination "must prove that he has not
republican money In his pocket" Is con
temptible pettifoggery and uttered for the
purpose of frightening away democrats from
that convention who are opposed to Greene
both morally and politically nnd who do not
hold any less opinions of Greene than does
the editor of the World-Herald , but who are
not afraid to so declare. Any democrat who
will permit such a bluff and dishonest accu
sation as the World-Herald's to swerve him
cue lota or Induce him to Indorse or vote
for Greene Is a moral and political coward
and Is so weak of mind that he would go
Into court and plead guilty to horse stealing.
The democratic opposition to Greene In this
district Is long standing and strong and the
World-Herald Is fully aware of the fact.
Not later than last week democrats at Kear
ney agreed to a proposition not to call a
convention permitting democrats to vote for
which candidate they preferred. Hut since
then things begin to look blue for Greene
and for thu purpose of making things look
brighter the World-Herald brands Sixth dis
trict democrats a body of boodlers and re
publican hirelings. The democrats of the
Sixth congressional district arc as honest ,
as decent and as capable of knowing what
they want as nro the democrats ot the Second
end district , and it Is not necessary or re
quired that any Omaha machinery be
brought Into this district to Inject a dose
of nauseating mixtures into the democratic
body.

Patriotism is an elastic term which may
mean much or little. There are Bclf-styled
patriots In this country today who are de
voting their energies to hostile criticism of
the government. Their tumultuous emotions
nnd expression In discordant and Incoherent
tirades , from which a foreigner might argue
that we were on the brink of revolution , or
that all the Inmates of the asylums for the
Insane had been let loose upon rhe land.
But while these pen-and-ink warriors are
emulating modern pugilists In their liter
ary frenzy a thousand Instances are occur
ring which go to show that the country has
a mighty reserve In a sane and honest
patriotism which Is content to demonstrate
Its loyalty by a quiet observance of Its
dutlea. H Is known universally that our
volunteer soldiers came from all ranks of
Hfe , and that many of them most of them.
In fact belonged to t'ho great Industrial
army of thu country. They held positions
which meant bread and butter to them and
constituted essential factors In almost every
business enterprise. Hence their going t * >
the front Involved o double sacrifice a sac
rifice of their employers as well as of them
selves.
H will be remembered how promptly the
employers acted In the emergency. They
did not whine about the prospective In
convenience or loss to their business. On
the contrary , they bade the volunteers godspeed -
speed and assured them that their places
would be at their 011 disposal when they
returned from the war. And now that they
have returned the promise Is being kept
to the letter. These business men did not
exhaust themselves In lip service or pen-
and-ink service. When a member of the
Seventh regiment appeared In the olficcs of
the general passenger department of thu
Rock Island railroad yesterday end ex
pressed a desire to resume lit * work there
the response was. "There Is a place for
you right now. You can go to work any
minute you want to. " It Is the sama at
the city hall , At thn great mcrcantllo *
hollars , nnd what Is true here. In ChlcoKO
Is probably true In every city of the Innd
