In Justice to Nebraska, federal ofllce
holders who loyally supported the re
publican party In the last campaign,
The Hep is Impelled to correct a state
ment embodied in a recent speech made
by Its editor heroic the Klghth Ward
Republican club. That speech contained
among other things the following remi
niscent remarks relative to the cam
paign of woo:
Tho national commltteo had to send sev
eral thousand dollars to Omaha to placate
men who held olllco undor William MeKln
loy to support William MeKlnloy. To sup
port tho ticket that William MeKlnloy
wanted elected for ho was 'list as much
Interested in the election of two republican
senators ns he was In his own.
Although this declaration had exclu
sive reference to. the Omaha contingent
of federal otllclals, It has Impelled sev
eral non-resident federal olllcers to
make public denials through tho demo
cratic organ decidedly uncomplimentary
to the speaker. United States District
Attorney Summers and United States
.Marshal Mnthews have .entered spi
cltle protests against being stigmatized
as disloyal, although no direct charge
had been made against them.
Willie It Is matter of history that
these two olllcers were exerting their
Inlluence during the session of the legis
lature to block tho election of any sena
tors, because they believed they could
better their chances of reappointment
by keeping Nebraska unrepresented In
tho senate, they wore not, so far as Is
known, among those -whose support for
tho ticket had to bo bought with money.
On behalf of tho Omaha members of
tho federal brigade, Postmaster Crow
is quoted asj follows:
Hosowatcr'B statements aro ridiculous. If
It had not been for tho united efforts of
tho "federal brlgado" tho state would havo
buou lost to the republican party. Tbo
mombcrs of tho "brlgado" went out and
worked without asking money or receiving
any from Mr. Iloscwator. i
When Postmaster Crow says ho never
asked or received money from Rose
water ho tells tho truth. No federal
olllceholder in Omaha or out of Omaha
asked Roscwater tor money during tho
Into campaigner received nuy money
from him. It Is also true that uo money
was demanded by Omaha federal olllce-
holders or paid to thorn for their votes.
Tho money that was brought by u
special envoy rrom national headquar
ters at Chicago to Omaha was appro
priated for tho express purpose of in
ducing federal otilceholders, their em
ployes nnd their camp followers who
wens openly knocking tho republican
leglslaUvo ticket to got into lluu for
Its support. Tho money was paid over
and while tho knocking stopped, the
knltlng did not. Hud tho Omaha con
tingent of fedorul (otilceholders been
successful In their treacherous work
tho seats in tho Uulted States senate
now occupied by Senator Millard and
Senator Dietrich would have been ill led
by two fusloutsts.
UUItMAXS WELL VLUASED,
Leading Gorman newspapers, which
doubtless reflect public sentiment, ex
press themselves as well pleased with
the attitude of President Roosevelt to
ward Germany. They say that tho
frleudlya sentiments or tho president und
his deslro to promotes closur trailo rela
tions will meet with tho earnest co
operation or the German people and
government. It is very much to bo
hoped that such will bo tho case, but
In order to bring it about there will need
to bu a radical clinugo In what appears
to bo tho dominant sentiment In Ger
many toward American trade. Tho
ngrurlnns contluue to Insist upon higher
grain duties and while there 1b a strong
nud vigorous opposition to this it Is
probablu that the ngrnrlnns will have
their way. Possibly there will bu a
compromise, but iii any event It Is sare
to predict that tho agrarians will haves
the better or it.
At a conference held In Herlln hifel
week to discuss Germany's commercial
policy ono of the speakers said: "Kull
reciprocity In customs, questions must
bo secured with the Uulted State's. Hoth
Germany and tho United States must
bind themselves. Wo must uncondition
ally abolish favoritism." If tho com
mercial policy of Germany could bo
controlled by this spirit there would be
excellent promUo of closer trade rclu-
tloni between that country and thK but
nt present that spirit does not control
and .there Is little prospect that It will,
although there does appear ,to be some
progress in that direction, as Indicated
In the tone of the leading newspapers.
As to the position of President Roose
velt, there has never been the least
reason to suppose that It, would bo any
thing different, lie as earnestly desires
as did ids predecessor the maintenance
of commercial peace, knowing that only
In that way shall we bo able to extend
our trade. The president Is undoubtedly
In full accord with tho .MeKlnloy view,
that "only a broad and enlightened
policy will keep what we have; no other
policy will get more." He also believes
with his predecessor that commercial
wars aro tmprotltablo nnd that a policy
of good will and friendly trade rela
tions will prevent reprisals. Kntettaln
Ing these views, It will bo the elTort of
tlio administration to cultivate more
Intimate trade relations with all coun
tries that may desire them.

The surplus In the national treasury
grbws steadily and the promise now Is
that It will amount to perhaps ?0O,0OO,
(MK) nt the end of tho present lineal year.
Kor the first quarter of the year tho
excess of receipts over expenditures
will bo moro than $ir,XK),O0O and there
seems no reason to doubt that this rate
will bo maintained throughout the year.
.Manifestly a further reduction of taxa
tion could be made with entire safety
to the treasury, but Washington advices
say there Is little likelihood that this
will be done. It Is stated to be tho
opinion of some of the lenders In con
gress that It Is well to prepare for
future Improvements, Legitimate river
and harbor work Is favored and those
who think It unwise to further reduce
taxation urge that 11 Is probable this
government will within the next year
commit Itself to the construction of an
Isthmian canal, either by the purchase
of the property of tho Panama canal
company or by detlnlte concessions or
the Nicaragua route. It Is argued that
In either event this government will be
called upon to expend rrom $ir0,()0().000
to OO.iMMUHH) In the enterprise and a
healthy surplus at the end of this llscal
year would be convenient to have on
hand.
No doubt ways can bo found for dis
posing of d surplus, but there Is cer
tainly no necessity for piling It up at
the rate or $('),( mo.OOO a year, as at
present ami the ropublliiin party will
do Itself no good by allowing this to bu
done. A mildly Incrcaslnir suinbis In
the nntlonal treasury Is a had thing for
the money market, as has recently been
shown, while retaining taxation when
It has been clearly demonstrated to be
unnecessary Is unjust to tho people. It
will be sound policy for congress to
further reduce the revenue and wo are
Inclined to think this will be done.

Numerous .amendments to the bank
ruptcy law will be proposed at the com
ing session of congress and there Is
some reason to apprehend that this may
endanger the whole law by inviting the
risk of a repeal. The New York .lournnl
of Commerce' remarks that when the
question or amending the law Is pend
ing In n not very friendly congress It
would be singular If a proposition io
repeal Instead of amend were not
sprung and supported by formidable
numbers. Another prominent trade Jour
nal says that the national bankruptcy
law Is In danger, not only rrom tho at
tacks of its enemies,, but In tho house
of Its friends. The former are prepar
ing to give tho act its coup do grace, If
possible, by moving for Its repeal when
the question of amending tho measure
is brought up at the next session of
congress. The latter, nt least some of
them, are Inclined to aid this scheme
by tho Introduction of amendments so
varleel and numerous as to bewilder
nnd weary tho majority of tho legisla
tors at Washington.
For nlozeu years or longer the mer
cantile community appealed to congress
to enact a bankruptcy law. There was
n very general teellng among business
men that a national Inw wus an Im
peratives necessity. Three years ugo
congress enacted the bankruptcy law
and no statute over received more care
ful consideration or thorough discussion.
It Is most remarkable, thurcfore, to And
that business men are now willing to
endanger the existence or tho law by
agitating for amendments that can
hardly fall to Invite a demand for Its
repeal. Doubtless some changes In the
law are desirable, but Its friends should
be careful not to (ask too much, lest
they give encouragement to Its enemies.

While It does honor to tho patriotism of

following the nssasslnatlon of President
MeKlnloy tho state constitutional conven

from tho bill of rights, It Is tn be hoped
that on second thought It will bo restored.
Considered In another light this willing
ness fo the constitution makers to omit
the time-honored provision of bills of rights
may bo regarded ns tho natural sequence
of tho first stops taken toward oligarchy
In the suffrage amendments adopted or

Freedom of speech must not bo withhold

freedom nnd what Is license. Something

The editor of this pnper has not attended
a fusion convention or caucus In Huffalo

surped tho chair without authority of tho

of hurrah about It? Might wo not bring
It home to the people that wn havo nn
army? Is It fair to tho regular to keep
him In tho barracks all the tlmn nnd leave
tha peoplo to suppose that our fighting
Is nil done by tho volunteer, when It Is
the husky regular who does nearly all of
It, and always does It best? We have
hundreds nnd sometimes thousands of fed-
oral soldiers quartered In this city, nt the
harbor forts nnd ntntlons, yet they might
ns well be In Arizona, for all tho popu
lace knows of them. Wo dally sco tho
vorklngs of our postolllce. wo sco tho
iihlps of our navy at tho yard nnd In tho
harbor, we icspcct tho patents thnt nio
granted by government, wo seldom put
our hands Into our pockets without feel
ing tho assurance that wo havo a Treos-
ury department, but of our military ostab-
lishment wo are for tho most part as Ig-
nnrant as wo are of the establishments
of Europe. This Is hardly tho way to en-
courage the right Increase of our regular
army. If wo want to Interest young men
in u ana enlist a setter sort of them, why
not ndvertlso It? Tho ndvertlslng costs
nothing. The men nre uniformed, armed
and fed wherever they may be, nnd they
havo a leisure) that might ns welt bo em-
ployed lu reviews nnd marches In peopled

unrs on drill or parado would bo a lesson
to our national guard regiments, nnd they
would certainly Interest tho masses.
Wo havo not the lovo of show that por
scsscs tho Latins, but we nevertheless
enloy military spectacles, nnd wo hnvo no
manner of doubt that our army would be
better If It were brought nut of Its hid
ing places occasionally nnd put through
the grand tactics. Why should not our
regulars be exercised on tho Long lslnnd
plains? Once In a great while a troop or
a battery or n company goes off on a
practice march and comes back again, but
these bodies never go away together und
operate ngnlnst theoretlcnl enemies to
gether. They Hteal off by tho back way,
quietly slink homo again and nobody ex
cept themselves Is tho wiser. Whllo It
would bo unprofitable and Indeed Impos
sible to hnvo such displays ns those in
France, where H0.000 men wore turned out
In order to plenso and Impress tho czar,
and while nnv pnrndo of Amorlcnn soldiers

If the American peoplo had bolter oppor
tunities to become acquainted with tho
American army, to know Its porsonnel nnd

The friendship came at n time when w

Tho meeting of tho Now Jersey repub

to be followed by elections In Novomber
After tho New Jorsey convention tho Massa
chusetts convention nlono remains to bs

ofllces will ho In tho flold.
Tho situation Is somewhat similar to the
on existing In tho fall of ISSt, aftor the
death of Presldont tlarflold, but political
controversies wero much moro acrimonious
then than now, nnd pnrty llneH wero more
closely drawn. Tho present indications am
that Indifference will prevail to n Urarr
degreo than It did twenty years ago, and
especially In tho domocrntlc party.
Stnto campaigns will occur In eight stntea
namely, Mnnsnchusetts, Now Jersey, Peon
sylvnnln, Mnryland, Virginia, Ohio, Ipwa
nnd Nebrnskn. Lenvlug out Pennsylvai)t.i
tn which tho situation Is nnomnlous. there

Now Jorsey shows no disposition to changn

Ing so llttlo heart In tho contest h to hnvo
offered to dlsponso with nny cnmpnlgu
speeches. Iowa will roll up a good repub
lican majority nnd Ncbranlea la not llkoly
tn turn back to Bryanlstn even lu an oft
year.
In no state, however, will tho voto bo
large. Tho poll Is Invariably small In tho
year following n presidential election, and
the per cent of voten cast this year Is likely
to be smaller thnn usual. Maryland will
see tho most vigorous campaign waged
anywhere, nnd tho most earnest effort mado
by tho democrats to succeed. Tho Btaio
ofllcM to bo filled are unimportant, but tho
legislature to bo elected will chooso Sen-
ntor Wellington's successor. Ux-Senator
Oormnn Is n cnmlldnto fnr tho sent nnd will
direct tho campaign on the democratic Bl-le.
In Virginia tho republicans aro showing
moro activity than usual lu a state cam
paign, but tho fact that tho democrats
havo nominated a popular candidate for
governor nnd havo oomplcto control of tho
election machinery lenvn llttlo doubt ns to
tho result. Tho political unrest manifest
ing itself tn that ntato anil tho rondttloni
to be created by tho new constitution will
havo an effect In future years.
Tho result of tho elections In 1901 Is not
likely to disturb tho political situation In
the least. Nor Is It probablo that they will
ho followed by a reaction In 1902, an tho
elections of 18SI wero followed by the re
action of 1S82, which returned n largo dem
ocratic majority tn tho natlonnl houso of
representatives nnd placed democratic gov
ernors In the executive chairs of innny re
publican states. There are no such factions
now lu tho republican party ns there wero
twenty years ngo, and tho democratic party
has less vitality than it hud then. Tho
elections of this year will bo generally fn-
vorablo to tho republicans. Those of noxt
year will depend on future developments.
