Itlooks much ns though Mr. Liipton tvould continue to drink his tea from the same old chlua mug. Admiral Dewcy probably realizes by this tlnio that all the enthusiasm AVUS not concentrated In Now York. Slnco taking time to think the matter over Jonathan has concluded not to let Brother John have that cup , for a few days at any rate. The popocratlc organ Is starting out early with Its "paste this In your hat" advice. The chances are that the paste pot will run dry before the campaign closes. Latest reports Indicate that Andrce succeeded In crossing the north pole , but what does It profit a man to cross the pole It only to leave his bones In an Arctic snow bank ? Passing resolutions requesting the railroads to expedite the construction o the viaducts seems to have little effect. Perhaps n little more vigorous action wouldi produce better results. From the long list of dates of pope cratlc speakers throughout Nebraska It Is plain that the fuslonlsts Lave a de cided mental reservation when they ex press their confidence of carrying the state hands down. All this talk about the sultan of Sulu must bo double-discounted. It Is dollars to doughnuts that In point of royal mag nificence he Is not In It with his high ness Ak-Sar-Bcn V , with the possible exception of the harem. Omaha Is entertaining the state con vention of Nebraska Baptists nnd ex tends to the visiting delegates Its most hearty welcome. The Baptists should have the keys of the city and the cordial hospitality of all Its Inhabitants. The Omaha Woman's club lias revived Its active work nnd will continue to be o. factor In the educational development of the city. The Woman's club has al ready accomplished much for Omaha Rnd its power for good Is unimpaired. The new election law limiting cam paign expenditures of candidates strikes the popocratlc ward 'heelers almost as hard as a crop failure does the farmer. "When the limited assessment has to bo divided among three hungry crowds the apportionment Is altogether too small to carry them through a hard winter. Perhaps the oniclals of the Nebraska Institute for the Deaf and Dumb should llx the date for opening the school on November 15. By this time all the popocratle campaign work will be done and the olllclals have had time to re cover from the shock occasioned by the election returns and bo In a condition to render as good service as their capabili ties will permit of. The Union Pacific road Is getting n good deal of free advertising out of a new fast train soon to bo scheduled be tween Chicago and San Francisco , re ducing the present running time a few hours. The traveling public will no doubt appreciate the enterprise , but the reorganized company is expected to put on a solid Jraln between Omaha and Seattle , and when that Is done this whole town will rise up and salute the railroad. With more students In the High school BOW than ever before the necessity for enlarged high school facilities Is becom ing more and moro pressing. Is it not time for another step toward releasing the money secured by the sale of high Bohool bonds now on deposit with local banks ? It Is not only the loss of the Interest on tills money that the taxpay ers suffer , but all attendants at the High school are constantly exposed to the dangers of overcrowding a building that hau nearly outlived Its usefulness. A S/OA/FJfM.VT VTTKn.iXCR. In his remarks presenting to Admiral Dewcy the sword voted by congress , President McKluley said : "There was no flaw In your victory ; there will be no faltering in maintaining It " Thus the president 1ms again said to the country that It Is the purpose of the administra tion to vigorously prosecute the work ot putting down the Insurrection In Luzon and the obvious meaning of Ills latest utterance1 Is that no effort will bo made to bring nbout peace by other means than are now being employed. The only overture that will be made to the Filipinos In arms will be conveyed from the mouths of the rifle and the cannon. The Insurgents profess to be willing to end the war and accept a protectorate ! but that will not do. They must sur render unconditionally nnd until they are ready to do that hostilities will go on. It remains to bo sceil how congress will regard this policy , but the proba bility Is that it will be approved. Meanwhile there Is no Indication that Aguiualdo and his adherents are think ing of surrender. The commission sent to confer with General Otis , while stating that the Insurgents desire peace , gave no Intimation that they may ac cept the terms of this government. On the contrary they still hope for inde pendence. How much longer they can maintain the struggle It is Impossible to say , but the remarks of the head of the commission show that they have con- lldenco In their ability to continue it In definitely. That Is the opinion of some others who liavo Intelligently studied the situation. On the other hand It is be lieved , and doubtless this is the view at Washington , that the suppression of the Insurrection can be accomplished in a few months after the conditions become such as to admit of active and decisive military operations. Within a short time General Otis will have a force of upwards of 50,000 , with everything in the way of supplies necessary to the energetic prosecution of a campaign. Such an nrmy of the best soldiers in the world , If properly handled , should do most effective work in a brief time against such an enemy as the Filipinos , even though the latter do their fighting only In guerrilla fashion. Much is ex pected of the force of cavalry that will do service In the next campaign and we have officers In Luzon who are not un familiar -with guerrilla warfare. General Otis regards the sending of the last commission as merely a ruse to gain recognition. This may be a. cor rect view , but It Is possible there may develop from It something more. ' "The Filipino people do not wish to continue the fighting , " the head of the commis sion Is reported to have said. If that is so It is reasonable to expect further overtures from them looking , to peace. At all events they know fully the posi tion of this government. There is to be no faltering In maintaining the victory won by Dewcy. PARTIES ANL > THE VKOPLK. The efforts of democratic lenders to persuade the people that the republican party is not their friend -will have no influence with those who know the rec ords of the political parties. Such efforts will have weight only with the Ignorant and the prejudiced. In his speech at the democratic "car nival" at Dallas , Tex. , Congressman Sulzer of New York said "the repub lican party was not and never had been in sympathy with the man who earned his living by honest toll ; that the repub lican party was the party of plutocracy ; that every law now on the statute books , both federal nnd state , In the Interest of the honest workman , was put there by democratic votes. " While Mr. Sulzer Is one of the least consequential among the leaders of present-day democracy his utterly untruthful statement should not be allowed to pass unchallenged. The republican party lias been since Its Inception the consistent friend and conservator of labor. The republican platform of 1800 commended "that policy of national exchanges which se cures to the worklngmen liberal wages , to agriculture remunerative prices , to mechanics and manufacturers an nde- quato reward for their skill , labor and enterprise , and to the nation commercial prosperity nnd Independence. " Thus at the outset of Its career the republican party recognized the duty of promoting the Interests and welfare of labor and the principle it then enunciated has been faithfully adhered to ever since. It Is to the policy of . 'that party that the wage earners of the United States owe the fact that their condition is greatly superior to that of the wage earners of any other country. In no other land are the working classes ns a whole so well off as hero and the Improvement In their condition has taken place under the operation of that republican policy which for more than a third of a century has fostered American Industries and ere- nted a market for American labor. There are hundreds of laws , federal and state , relating to lanor and to as sert that all ofthese were placed on the Htatuto bookn by democratic votes Is so willfully and obviously false that it Is amazing any public man , having any regard for his veracity , would make It. Mr. Sulzer Is convicted of misstate- incut by the record of the last session of the legislature of ills own state , re publican in both branches , which en acted an eight-hour law and amended various already existing laws in the in terest of labor. Some of the best state labor laws are those of Massachusetts , where the republicans have been in con- tlnuous control for many years. In other New England states the labor statutes are duo to the republican party and this Is also true of Pennsylvania , Ohio , Michigan , Illinois nnd the states of the northwest. So far ns labor legis lation is concerned , the republican party set the example , northern states under republican control being the first to adopt such legislation. It may fairly bu doubted whether before the war a single law favorublo to labor existed in any southern state and that section has been slow to follow northern example In this respect. Kneli wanton misrepresentation ns that of Mr. Sulzer may bo effective with a Texas democratic audience , but It will win no votes for the democratic party among the Intelligent workliiRiuen of the north. These know what the repub lican pnrty has done In their Interest In every northern state and with few ex ceptions they are now realizing , In abundant work at good wages , paid In money equal to the best In the world , the benefits of republican policy. THE ALLIKD nRPOHM FOltCRS. According to the World-Herald the al lied forces of reform are carrying on a most vigorous nnd aggressive campaign In Nebraska. Who arc these allied forces and what reforms are they striv ing for ? It Is a matter of notoriety that the allied reform forces pretend to repre sent three distinct political parlies net- Ing In concert for one purpose and that purpose Is not reform , but olllce and plunder. The only element of reform In this conglomerate body were the original populists who had separated themselves from the democratic and republican par- tics because they did not satisfy their demands for the repression of corporate extortion nnd railway domination. These people honestly believed that no redress could bo hoped for from the old parties ns then constituted and no re forms could bo achieved by any alliance with cither. When the democrats and populists first fused five years ago the promise was made to the people that the agita tion for corporate regulation and honest government should bear Its fruit In the election of reform state officers. On this pledge Silas A. Holcomb was chosen governor. But how did he re deem these pledges ? What reforms have the fuslonlst allies brought nbout In Ne braska under Holcomb ? In Ills first term Holcomb's excuse for Inaction was that he did not have the backing of a reform legislature and that ho was hampered by republicans hold ing all the other state offices. In his second term Governor Ilolcomb had no such excuse to offer. The allied forces of reform had full sway in every department of the government. Instead of living up to their promises they pur sued the policies and repeated the prac tices they had formerly denounced. They made compacts with the railroads whereby notorious corporation tools were given places on the railway com mission. They enforced wholesale de mands for railroad passes nnd enjoyed Junkets all over the country at railroad expense. They adopted the old tax as sessment of railroads , telegraphs and so forth without change and made a farce of nil the legislation for the restriction of corporate greed. Instead of putting honest reformers Into olllce Holcomb's appointments -were dictated by the Omaha Tammany and selected from the rotten gangs that had been repudiated by their own parties. And now the allied forces of reform are held together with no Idea of reformer or better government , but simply and solely by hope of plunder and patronage. While overrunning the state with re form orators who confine themselves ex clusively to national issues the rings and ringstcrs In state house and state Institutions are waxing fat on the overtaxed producer , -\vlio Is given the husks while they feed on the grain. According to reliable Washington ad vices the president has not only con firmed the sentence of Captain Carter , but lias also directed Attorney General Grlggs to look closely Into the civil partnership by means of which the de faulting army officer succeeded in de frauding the government of so much money. The purpose ot the president is to prosecute the partners of Captain Carter , who were not subject to mili tary court-martial , by proper steps In the civil courts. Of course the pope cratlc newspapers will not say anything about this side of the president's part in the affair because It would not help them In making political capital out of the case. To the unbiased observer , however , it shows that the president Is vigilant In the public interest and that ho Is anxious to have all the culprits brought to task. An Omaha banker recently said that money Is so plentiful in this region as to admit of loans at very low rates of interest ouo large loan not long ago being placed at y per cent , whilq ap proved eattlo paper at 0 per cent is common. All this , too , under a gold standard of money , and as a direct re sult of the crime of ' 73 , which Is said to have struck down sliver und made gold dearer. If money Isn't worth l\y. \ per cent It isn't worth much of anything , nnd if it gets much cheaper the people will begin to blame the gold standard for it. Poultney Blgclow should either come Aomo long enough to get acquainted with his own people and what la actually happening on tills sdo | or else ccaso to pose ns an American. When he characterizes the people who favor the administration policy as a mob lie 1ms not the faintest conception of the situa tion. Neither those who favor the ex pansion policy nor those who oppose it are allowing their passions full sway. It is simply a difference of opinion. Presumably the object of the proposed Jaunt of the Itcal Estate exchange through Nebraska is to prepare Its mem bers better for the business of selling farm lands. No doubt many settlers will enter the state tills year and invest in the fertile farms which have made Nebraska famous. If the Omaha real estate dealers can do anything In the way of attracting people to locate in Ne braska it may prove of mutual advan tage for them to spy out the The report of the Iowa state labor commissioner shows a steady und con- stunt Increase both In the number of men employed and in the wages paid since the advent of the MeKlnley ad ministration. General Weaver should tnko a day oft nnd figure out some ex cuse for this evidence of prosperity In his home state. Omaha appreciates the good feeling nnd kindly sentiments of llallngsns ex pressed In acknowledgment of Omaha's nttendaifl't' upon the Hastings street fair.

FOUCIXG-OKK OK IIAKIII.VUTO.V. Pnitlirul In Sixth DlHtrlft Itoncnt KIckliiK Out of Their Nominee. Kearney Democrat. The bossea have finally succeeded In ac complishing the despicable undertaking of kicking M. C. Harrington off the democratic ticket for congress in the Sixth district. This action has been taken at the demand of Mr , Bryan , who Is a candidate for the democratic nomination for president. Mr. Harrington wan nominated for congress by n convention composed of democrats , three- flfths of whom have not or do not ask him to withdraw. The democrats did everything fair nnd possible to nominate a fusion can didate , but Neville , the man for whom Bryan orders Harrington out of the way , refused to inako any concessions or permit the convention 'to ' select a fusion candidate. And Harrington is In every way the HU- perlor of Neville except In staying qualities after an office nnd the Democrat Is frank to say that In hla weakness as shown by Mr. Harrington bo has sadly disappointed his friends throughout the district. It has been charged that Bryan and Ilol comb ! have promised Mr. Harrington the clerkship of the supreme court to get off the ticket , but wo do not believe that Mr. Har- rlngtoa will bo guilty of surrendering bis manhood to such bcbcmlng bosses for such a small pot of mush. U Is said that BOHIO of the chairmen of democratic county com mittees hod written Olr. Harrington to withdraw , as it was the wish of the party. S.ueh a letter was written by Gordon of Buffalo county. Gordon doc not represent any portion of the democrats of Buffalo county except thoto who nro holding public jobs. There are not six democrats outside of that element In Buffalo county but who desired Mr. Harrington to remain a candidate just as long as Neville remained a candi date. date.With With Harrington off the ticket there Is no honest or honorable way to place Neville's name on the ticket as a democrat. The democratic convention at Lexington did not authorize its committee or any other person to flll any vacancies upon the ticket and It the Dchcmers attempt to placa his name there thu courts will bo enjoined to btop the dishonest act. The democrats will not bo cajoled or coerced Into voting for Neville for congress , but they will generally refrain from voting for congressman at all , leaving the republicans and Neville's fol lowers to fight it out to their own satisfac tion.

But even If wo could have obtained It , the cable company would have been obliged to refuse to re ceive or transmit messages In that way. It could not have afforded to do anything that would enable the Spaniards In case they returned to power In Manila after the war to withhold payment of their subsidy. Don't you think these reasons nro good enough ? ' " Among the Invalided soldiers who landed at San Francisco recently was D. W.

In Febru ary last he was with his battery in a native attack on Manila , when word came to fall back.

Two men wcro killed and Krlder received twenty- six'wounds from the shrapnel bullets , while at the same time a Mauser bullet parsed through him. Krlder still carries some of the bullets and It Is doubtful If ho will ever recover his health nnd strength. vjsr AMI Globe-Democrat : The men who stood behind the guns at Manila bay do not find a republic ungrateful. St. Louis Republic : Dewey loves women , children , sailors , horses , dogs , pot lions and the truth. There's a candidate and a plat form calculated to carry a virile nation by storm. Baltimore American : The tribute of Ad miral Schley to Admiral Dewey as "one of the greatest sea fighters ot nil times , " is the tribute of a man who knows something about fine sea fighting himself. Minneapolis Tribune : Admiral Dewey all but hugged Rear Admiral Schley when they met in New York yesterday and the crowd fairly wont wild over the scene ; while the hero of Santiago received only a less hearty ovation on the line ot march than that of Ills great fellow-fighter. Schley ought to bo able to Ignore the petty annoyances of the little navy clique hereafter. Boston Transcript : It was the naval vic tory of Santiago and not that at Manila that destroyed the sea power of Spain , and thus compelled the early cessation of the war , and that victory was Sampson's planning. And yet he has never received a single spe cial reward from congress for his services. No one yells for Sampson. The disparity be tween popular rewards Is striking. Chicago News : A French paper , comment ing on the popularity of Admiral Dewey , re marked that a French general In the posi tion of the American admiral would promptly begin figuring on ways nnd means of overthrowing the existing government. Dewoy's Ideas nro exactly In a reverse groove. Instead of desiring to overthrow the government ho Is working hard to head oft people who want him to become a can didate for the presidential chair. Kansas City Star : The pressure upon Sampson was ono of those fearful experi ences which history will never bo able to descrlbo or his countrymen to fully cell mate. Upon him was the weight of the naval campaign. Ho had done everything , pre pared everything , nnd only waited to strike the blow. The whole thing was the converse of Manila , where the ships advanced to the attack In the splendid panoply of resistless power. At Manila the here , Dewey , stood upon the bridge of his ship and the whole wonderful panorama of Imperishable fame went on under the wave of his hand. At Santiago the silent , gray Sampson who had done everything In a moment of Ironical Ill-fortune , turned away , and the climax oc curred. While the engines of the flagship Now York throbbed as If In frenzy , but vainly , tbo admiral saw the battle his battle recede from him. Never did n man have a moro exultant spectacle under liU eye than George Dewey , as the Spanish ships burned and sank to the bottom of Manila bay. Never did a man stand In the presence of such bitter fate as Sampson at Santiago. While all men admlro the way Dewey has borne hla triumph they should no less nd- mlro the way Sampson , a bravo American officer , has berne his disappointment. nr.icsn SATIIMIH AM. .

STUI3XUTII IX AFIIICA' . Ill n Ilrioe War They Would Fnr Out number ( lie IlrltlHh. New York Herald. Suppose n. conflict between Great Britain nnd the Transvaal should develop Into a race war between the British and the Dutch of South Africa , as some 'think probable and many not at all Improbable , what fighting force con each sldo marshal from the In habitants there ? That Is the timely question that Mr. H. A. Brydcn , writing from a personal knowledge of South Africa extending over twenty-three years , and "as an Imperialist and conserva tive , " undertakes to nnhwer In the Fort nightly Review , It Is vitally Important , ho says , to bear in mind that the Dutch Afrikanders greatly outnumber 'the British , that the Boors ot the Transvaal , Orange Free State and Capo Colony are very closc-ly allied by bonds ot blood and sympathy , and that they are ex ceptionally good marksmen , The Dutch population of the Transvaal Is between SO- 000 and 8.1,000. Of these 'there nro nbout 22- 000 Boer burghers ready and capable- tak ing the field at an hour's notice. The total British population , chiefly concentrated at Johannesburg , does not exceed 80,000 , In cluding men , women nnd children. From this number , says Mr. Brydcn , not moro than 3,000 effective soldiers could bo drawn , fn caeo of a general racial war the able- bodied fighting men , from which the forccn on cither sldo might bo recruited , are thus estimated : British.
