Kansas City Is practicing up on the holdup business for the democratic con vention. It Is to bo hoped that by con vention time tho people down there will havo invented some less nerve-racking method than that now in vogue. London's municipal government finds Itself with a delicit that requires an Increase of the tax rate for city pur poses. Municipal government abroad has much the same problems to meet as municipal government In America. Senator Allen Is losing no chance to use tho Boer Incident as a means of ad' vertlslng himself. It will be remembered, however, that when Invited to the Boer sympathy meeting at Omaha last win ter, he was so busy he could bo present by letter only. Already It Is seen thnt the Methodist general conference at Chicago will uot bo ablo to compare Its record with that held In Omaha In 1S!- Tho Chicago meeting Is but little more than half over, yel has already been favored with several days without trace of rain. Tho democrats of Stelnauer must lu from, (ho coon-hunting section of Mis sourl. While attending a convention they heard the bay of some hounds and every delegate started off on tho trail But nothing less exciting than a coon hunt would Induce a democrat to leave a political convention. Colonel Molse, ald-de-cauin lo his excellency tho governor, seems to have formed a political Ice (rust of his own whose first coup Is made In freeIng At torney General Smyth out of tho dem ocratic state convention and distrib uting chunks of ice among tho men who do not patronize tho pie counter. The frozon-out aspirants for places on tlio Douglas delegation to the dem ocratic state convention say they will force their county committee to back track and order a primary election. But tho question is, Will Colonel Molso en danger his reputation for fearless gen- eralshlp by reversing his victorious column? Under ropubllcun rule silver repub llcnns fiud prosperity so plentiful they think every member of tho party In Nebraska will not. only be ablo to ut tend tho national convention but pay a dollar to boot for a certificate that they are delegates. It Is not stated whether or not tho certificate' Is "pretly enough to frame." - nurt'DiA Tixo nn va sihm. Old line democrats who have the courage of their convictions aro begin ning to speak out in repudiation of Itryanlsin. Conspicuous exumples are Judge Morse and. V. It, Shelby of Michigan, both life-long democrats, the latter chairman of the gold democratic state committee. A few days ago Judge .Morse gave out a signed statement of his reasons for not supiMM'tlng llryan. "I shall not vote for Bryan," ho said, "no mat ter what tho platform U, because lie still Insists uon the silver heresy being made a part, and a prominent pari, of the democratic creed. In my opinion he Is a dangerous man lo the best In terests of the country, not only llnan daily, but In other respects." Judge Morse declared that he shall support the republican national ticket If Uryan Is nominated. Mr. Shelby, In an In terview, stated his belief that the sound money democrats generally will this year rally to tho support of Mclvlnley. "Not a sound money democratic vote, he said, "will be wasted on a third ticket or kept at home, but erery last ... . . . ... r . 1 1. ono win oo registered ior uiu iciuu- llcan candidate." He declured that Hrynn has not changed since 1SO0 and his platform has not Improved with age. Another notable example is Dr. Wil liam Everett of Massachusetts, who has long been prominent In tho democratic politics of that state. Ho Is opposed to nryanlsm not only because ot tne iree sliver heresy, but also for the reason that the principles and policies it rep resents are "subversive of law, order and peace at homo and abroad." He regards Hryan's utterances as danger ous and pronounces him unsound not inerelv on tho mouey question, but on the fundamentals of national and Inter national policy. Undoubtedly as the campaign ad vances such examples will multiply. Many old-lluc democrats will await, be fore taking position, the declarations of tho Kansas City -convention, hoping that thero will bo a modlllcatlou of the Chicago platform and that the princi ples enunciated at Sioux Kails will not be endorsed, but when this hope is dis appointed, as it is most certain to be, they will not be found supporting Hryanlsm. As tho Now loru Times. referring to tho declarations of the con vention of the fusion populists, snys: 'Tlmo -will make It no easier to support these things and the candidacy of W. J. Uryan. Nothing is going to nappen or be done to solve any doubts, remove any dilllcultlcs, or rauko tho steep and stony imth of populism any easier to tho unuceustomed feet of gold demo crats and republican dissenters. Kither they must vote for Uryan and the body of wild doctrine they vehemently repu diated four years ago or they must vote for William McKluley and his theory of the national duty. They might as well show the courage of men by rauk iiu. their choice now." The Kansas City convention will bo little more than !i mMHentloii meeting. It may not accept tho Sioux Falls candidate for vice president, but If-wlll endorse tne fusion populist nomination or Mr. Uryan and much If not all of the plat form. The democrats who are Hoping for anything different will havo no volco In tho Kansas City convention, for populism and not democracy will dominate that gathering. HOW TJ1EI' GAIUUED TUB COlATI. The Invincible battalion under tne brilliant leadership of Colonel Walter Molse. ald-de-camp to his excellency, Governor I'oynter, has carried Doug las county by storm. -ot ouiy nuo his cohorts routed all opposition In the Fifth -ward, where Colonel Molse s home guard bivouacs, but they have also swept Hamcat alley, triumphed In simiiii Omaha and overwhelmed tne enemy entrenched lu all tho country mcclncts, Including Cloutarf. As a result of this masterful general- ship the ahl-de-camp of his excellency will take a solid delegation from Doug las county to Lincoln on tho day of the democratic state convention. Kvery man of this delegation has been picked and pickled, and, with the exception of three eminent Journalists who are re warded for. their part In tho valorous assault on the Jacksonlan breastworks, every mother's son not already holding ojllce Is slated for a Job on the police force not lower than a captaincy. Like the gallant (MX) at Balaklava the colonel's command galloped down the valley of death, figuratively speaking, with bottles (o tho right of them and poker chips to the left Of them, regard less of danger. In the meantime the faithful Sauclio Pnnza Gunsolus kept watch on (he tower, but not a cat stirred nor a mouse squeaked while the list of delegates was being made up In star chamber by Colouel Molse and his committee. And when tho bloodless baltle was over and tne remains or tne enemy strewn on the Held, a shout of glory weut up that was heard way down lu the stale house. Ills excellency knew by (hat sign that his pretender police commission had delivered tho goods without troubling the democrats of Douglas county with a primary election. KnTUCKy cam: surtiian. The sunremo court of tho United States has settled tho Kentucky gov ernorship contest by affirming tho de cision of tho stale court of appeals, which was that tho action of the gen oral assembly was final. Tho opinion of tho supremo court, to which four of tho justices dlssenled, slated that the court laid no Jurisdiction, that It was purely a state case, that Kentucky Is lu full possession of Its faculties as a mem ber of tho union anil that there was no emergency at this time calling for inter ference. Tho opinion was delivered by Chief Justice Fuller and stated that all the conditions ami regulations provided by a state for the election of Its officers should bo free from external Interfer enco except o fur ns plainly provided by the constitution of tho United States This, It was held, Is essential to the in dupcudcuce, peace and tranquillity of tho stales. Doubtless thero aro many who will concur lu the dissenting opln ion of Justice Harlan, who made a for clblo argument against tho view that the federal supreme court hud uo Juris diction in such a case, but undoubtedly there will bo a general feeling of satis faction that this ugly contest has been settled. Another election for governor will take place next November and It Is said to be anticipated that It will be even more bitter than tho last election, owing to the Intense partisan antagon ism that has been created. The repub licans will make their light, as before, against the Infamous CJoebel law and they ought to be successful, but this being a presidential year the chances may be somewhat against them. That law, however, has been so generally condemned for Its vicious character that It would seem the democrats them selves should see tho wisdom of repeal ing It. TIUDU UELATlUXS WITH GEIIMAXY. From tho report to tho State depart ment of tho American consul general at Berlin, nn olllclal whose experience and familiarity with (lorman commercial affairs give great weight to his opinion, It Is to bo expected that (torinany will show no favors to American trade In tho near future. Consul Oonorul Mason states that It Is the purpose of (.terniany to revise her tariff on the line of a gen eral and heavy Increase of duties, espe- ally upon Imports from the United States. Attributing the prosperity of this country to the tariff that Is, to the protection given to American Industries -It Is argued that a similar system must prove advantageous to t!erinany, although that country has a pretty strong protectlvo tariff now. Tho consul therefore anticipates tariff changes which will materially modify commercial relations between Germany and tho United States and he points out that the sentiment Is very strong there In favor of such a policy. Thero Is a feeling of resentment, he says, in cer tain business circles, of course chlelly among manufacturers, which would vent Itself in tariff legislation that would bear harder upon American prod ucts than upon those of other countries. German statesmen must be governed In this matter by what they conceive to bo for the best Interests of their coun try. Tho right of Germany to establish whatever tariff policy she pleases can not of course be questioned by this or any other country. Hut If Germany in making her turlff should discriminate against tho United States sho could uot reasonably expect that this country would take no notice of such discrimina tion and would contluuo to treat Ger many as all other nations are treated. AVo should certainly feel called upon to adopt a retaliatory policy. Consul General Mason expresses the hope that a treaty or treaties will be framed regulating vexed questions nnd securing liberal Justice to imports of food products by reciprocal concessions. This ought to bo attainable, but In view of what he says In regard to the feeling In Germany hostile to the United Stntes thero seems to be small promise of Its being realized. AS lO AOVEIIT1SINU OMAHA. The man who watches a game chess is almost always sure that of he' would havo played it much better than tho players. The same Is true of news paper critics. Almost everybody In the community Imagines he could conduct a newspaper much better than its ed itor. An example of this Is again furnished by George B. Morton, who admits he is a newcomer, but takes it upon himself to arraign tho Omaha newspapers for not advertising Omaha. Mr. Morton feels sure Omuha Is not ns well and favorably known as other western cities because Its papers do not keep up a hur ricane of brag and bluster day in and day out. Ho attempts to draw a con trast between Omaha and Kansas City and asserts that the pre-eminence of Kansas City In trade and Industry is uo chiefly to the incessant booming of their town by tho Kansas City papers If Mr. Morton had taken tho trouble o Inform himself ho would have dis covered that no western city has been extensively advertised by Its newspapers and no city of Its size nnd mportancc is better known abroad than Omnhn. He would find thnt tlio omana newspnpers hirvc every year given bun dreds of thousands of dollars worth of advertising space to public enterprises of all kinds to promote the growth and prosperity of Omaha. No occasion has passed that lias not been fully utilized by the Omaha news papers in giving prominence to Omaha pluck and energy. Tho Transmlssls- slppl Kxposltlon, which advertised Omaha far nnd wide nnd brought the it v and slato to the attention of the world, had its conception In nn Omaha nowspappr and owed Its success chlelly o Omaha newspapers. But a man cannot pull himself over a fence by his boot straps, neither can a great city be built by constant blow ing nnd puffing. Tlio growth of a city lepends largely upon Its natural rc sources, tne country irinuiary io us trade, the enterprise of Its citizens and the character of the men and women who make up Its population. Omaha lias never been on a nioro substantial basis or enjoyed nioro promising pros peets than It does today. Its newspa pers- are as wideawake as those of any other city and may be depended on to do their full share in making known every forward step the city accom plishos In lis path of progress, Tlio explanation Is offered thnt the renson why Governor I'oynter and his fusion associates on the State Board of Uquallzatlon havo fixed the railroad assessment for 1WO at the same figures as 1S1S nnd 1S!K) Is that they decline to rccognlzo tho existence of prosperity for the railroads or any other line of business. Tho only wonder Is that thesu great reformers did not reduce the assessment to prove thnt railroad property In Nebraska Is shrinking In value under the blight of the single gold standard. Douglas county democrats havo been given another example of the leader ship Hint dares not trust the rank nnd file by the action of tho democratic county committee in appointing without utiy primary election the delegates to represent this county In coming state and congressional conventions. How It can be democratic lo nominate a demo cratic ticket without consulting the wishes of the party voters or giving thciu nn opportunity to choose the dele gates to voice their sentiments Is beyond the ordinary mind. Shades of Jefferson and Jackson Is this democ racy '! The Turkish admiral who Is In this country says he comes, not to pay the claims of the missionaries, but to buy ships for tho Turkish navy. They build ships In this country, but ate in the habit of selling only to people whose financial rating stands good. If the Turk has the collateral, however, he can get about anything he wants In this country. Tho supreme court leaves Governor Taylor to the. whim of a legislature packed to keep him out of the guberna torial olllco to which he was unques tionably elected by the people of Ken tucky. This, however, Is another case where tho Judgment of the court of public opinion, although at variance with Hint 'of the law courts, has more weight In determining the verdict of history. Illinois democrats of prominence are not falling over themselves In nn effort to secure the nomination for governor In that state. It has come to pass that when any faction desires to shelve a man they mention him for governor. Up to the present the party has not been able to secur a victim and the chances are It will bo forced to make a draft. Am Kiivlafilc Poitltlon. Phllndelohla Times.

Holdrcgo Citizen: The republican state ticket Is ono that should recelvo the hearty support of overy loyal republican and the changes that havo ben wrought in tho material Improvement of the country ought to be enough to make moro loyal republi cans In Nebraska than ever before. North Platto Tribune: The republican Btato central committee, in session last week, selected Omaha ns headquarters for the coroniltteo during tho coming campaign. As Omaha Is of moro easy uccchs to tho greater part of tho stato than Is Lincoln, wo -bellevo tho selection is wise. And In addition tho location may have some bearing on tho result In Douglas county next November. Gothenburg Independent: The nomina tion of Charles II. Dietrich as tlio republican candidate for governor of Nebraska Is ono of tho best that could havo been made. IIo Is a man that has made a success In life by his own efforts and U not a politician, but a thorough -business man. IIo gained his nomination by no political trickery, but was tho choice of tho majority of tho republicans of the state. IIo will bo elected. Hastings Ilecord: Tho action of the state central commltteeo In removing the state headquarters from Lincoln to Omaha Is not a subject for criticism. The solo aim of the commltteo was to socuro the best posslblo results, regardless of personal preferences. Lincoln has been favored with tho location of the stato headquarters, btato convention and state fair and there Is no good reason vliy Omaha should uot receive same favors. Hastings Tribune: Tho Sunday Illustrated lice contained a fine picture of Charles H. Dietrich and Borne vivid fiketches of his early life In Hastings, Tho moro tho llfo of Dietrich Is given -to tho public tho bettor ho will stand before tho voters of the stnto. Those scotches In Tho Hee "wero but a few of what will he given to tho public befnro tbo campaign ends, His life has not always been In tho face ot danger. His peaceful deeds stand out as prominent as his deeds of daring In times of danger. North riatto Tribune: The republican stato ticket la composed nf as clean, capable and progressive men as havo over stood for election at the hands of tho people of Ne braska. Every ono of them ought to bo elected and If tho fovcr of nryanlsm has lost Its power to dim the popular Judgment, they will bo olected. Nebraska cannot nf- ford to have her affairs managed for two years more by tho political stcercrs now In control at Lincoln. Neither can the stato suffer these men to natno their succefcsors in tho high places, for although tho person nel of ofllceholdors might be changed tho corrupt hands which pull the strings to con trol them would remain the same. Crete yidetto: While the Vldotto op posed Mr. Hosowater In his opposition to Senator Thurston as a national delegate, It would nevertheless bo pleased to see him elected as a national committeeman. His extensive acquaintance throughout the union, his Intimate knowledgo of tho politi cal condition in each county of tho state, his untiring Industry and his unquestioned ability would make him a mobt useful com mitteeman.

Island Journal Dr. Lang of the state Institution for feeble minded youth at Ilentrlco him obtained from a court a writ of Injunction restraining tho governor from Interfering with til in ns superintendent nf the establishment, hang got his appoint- ment because of his activity In the political aggregation that tins been howling lUolf hoarse about "government by Injunction," yet when he has been Investigator and fcund unsulted for tho position ho Invokes the nld of what he has condemned. The most striking feature of the aggregation ot political bunco-steerers who run tho oppo sition to tho republican party Is Incon sistency, nnd Lang had to keep up the record. Grand Island Independent: Porhatn by this Uiuo Governor I'oynter realizes tho danger of whitewashing an oppolntcc whose record has been such that the condition of tho whitewashing Is the resignation of tho whitewashed and his stepping out of a p!uce ...1.1.1. 1. - t. ... . . , 1 V-1 ... i,( wuiujj iiu hub upimi vuiiy u?uu uuuuit, lu 1111 with satisfaction to others than himself. Charges wero mndo against Dr. Lang of the Uoatrlco state Institution. Governor I'oynter heard them. He whitewashed tho reformer evidently upon agreement that the reformer would resign. After the coat was delivered the nppolnteu changed his mind about the resignation and, the charges hav ing been dismissed, Intends to hold on. It is always better to bo fair and square. Kimball Observer: Dr. U. F. lang, who was forced to resign the superlntcndeucy ot the fccblo minded tnstltuto at Ileatrlco to prevent Governor Poyntcr from discharging blm, now refuses to yield tho place. He secured a writ of injunction from tho dis trict court to restrain the governor nnd his new oppolntee, Dr. Dearlng, from Interfering with him In his exercise of duties as super intendent. Governor I'oynter says ho will pay no attention to the Injunction and tbo fun has commenced. If the governor had exercised duo diligence In the appointment of a thoroughly competent man for such a responsible position, ho would havo been spared tho present humiliating task. Whllo Dr. Lang Is a very nice man socially nnd morally, he Is woefully lacking In executive ability and has little standing as a physi cian. Kearney Hub: Governor Poyntcr declare that ho will disregard tho Injunction of tho court restraining him temporarily from In stalling a successor to Dr. Lang as super intendent of the Institute for feeble minded youth at Doatricc, In this connection tho governor declares that tho Judicial depart ment of the Btate has no control over the executive otllce, and that If he should be Imprisoned for contempt In refusing to obey the Injunction ho would pardon himself. It la evident that the governor is on his mrt tle. But Is It not a rather remarkable as sumption that any citizen of the common wealth becomes by reason ot his election lo the executive or any other ofllce superior to tho constitution and tho law that aro re sponsible for his oftlclal creation? Thv.' Ileatrlco squabble amounts to nothing com pared with tho pretense of Governor Poyu tor that ho Is the wholo thing as long s ho Is governor. Kremont Tribune: It Is deplorable that the Chicago platform patriots of Nebraska ce lu tho matter of a practical of tho antl-govcrnmcnt-by-ln- must dlsagre application Junction plank of their political creed. Hero Is Dr. Lang, superintendent of the Institute for feeble mluded at Dealrlce, depending upon an Injunction to restrain the governor from putting another man in his place when he is out of town. He leave? a copy of this potent document In tho olllcc to protect him in his Inalienable right to hold offlcc nnd run the Institution while he goes off on a Journey. And here Is Gov ernor Poyntcr, who In the modified language of Brer Shrader of IvOgan, says, "Injunction bo d d." Injunctions aro lanio and Impo tent against a governor. Tho governorship Is a co-ordinate branch of the stnto gov ernment, equally as potent as the Judicial leg thereof, which has Issued the Injunction. "I shall Install Dr. Dearlng," says the gov ernor, "despite what tho court snys. He has tho sheriff and the deputies back of him. I have the state militia back of me. Suppose I should be Imprisoned for con tempt of court? What then? Haven't I the power to pardon myself?" There it Is In a nutshell. The governor and Dr. Lang may make each other trouble. This Is tin deplorable part of the program. But out of It all may como a clarified Interpretation of the antl-government-by-lnjunctlon plnnk of the sacred Chicago platform, that political sermon on tho mount. li:ilSOVAI, l'OIXTKUS. Reports from Kansas City refute the as sertion that tho Missouri highwayman bad reached the decadent stage. Ex-Candidate Sewall thinks Bryan's chances of election nre "very bright," but not bright enough to Induce him to s.haro them again. Denunciation of the celirso of the sun wan omitted from tho Sioux Kails platform probably becauho that event occurs before election day.
