DEATH OF J. 8TERL1XO MORTOtf.
In the donth of J. Sterling Morton,
Nebraska Las lost one of Its moat dls
tlngulshrMl cltlipns. As one of the
founders of the commonwealth Mr.
Morton Tva a conspicuous example of
It, sturdy and progressive pioneers and
contributed largely to the development
of Its resources.
Endowed with an Indomitable will, and
possessing Ht all times the courage of
his convictions, Mr. Morton fearlessly
expressed his Views on all public ques
tions, whether they were In accord with
or In defiance of public sentiment In
the Kansas-Nebraska conflict he was a
prououueed champion of states rights
as enunciated by John C. Calhoun, re
jecting and repudiating the squatter
sovereignty Ideas of Stephen A. Douglas,
which had fascinated the young democ
racy of the north, and particularly of
this section. During the war of the
rebellion his sympathies were against
Llni-oln and the prosecution of the war.
After Nebraska hml been admitted Into
the union he was the recognized leader
of Nebraska democracy and so con
tinued until the party had committed
itself to dogmas at variance with his
convictions, when he proclaimed his
political Independenco, which he exer
cised freely in public speech and In the
press.
Never popular In a political sense, and
never seeking- popularity by the devices
of the demagogue, J. Sterling: Morton
was at all times a man of culture and
positive force, exerting his talents and
Influence for the elevation of the stand
ard of public morals and the cultivation
of the civic virtues. He despised
hypocrisy and detested Imposture of
very sort and often told unpalatable
truths when it would have been more
profitable to htm to dissimulate. He
preached and taught the gowpel of work
s the only safe ladder to success and
fame and continued through a llre-
me to practice what he preached.
While he endeared himself more to the
classes than to the masses, he was
nevertheless a specimen of manhood
that placed Nebraska on a higher plane
moug its sister states.
PfTOGfllCS.S IJf SOUTHERN MARKETS
The chlif of the bureau of foreign
ommerce makes the gratifying report
that the trade of the United States in
the markets of South America Is
growing. He shows that this is the
case Iu Brazil, in the Argentine Repub
lic. Iu Chile and other countries, a
number of the manufactured products
of this country being now in greater
demand in these southern markets than
ever before and preferred wherever they
have been Introduced to similar Euro
pean goods.
The report is encouraging, but there
Is one point In it that is worthy of more
than passing attention and that Is the
statement, with special reference to Bra
zil, that the export trade of the United
States to that country never will reach
Its proper development so long as our
merchandise has to seek foreign bot
toms. This applies equally to most of
the other South American countries
Nothing is more essential to the building
up of our commerce with that part of
the world than direct and rapid trans
portation facilities by American steam
ship lines and it can be confidently as
serted that until such facilities are pro
vided our merchants and inanufactur
ers will be at a disadvantage In com
petlng for the South American trade. In
spite of the superiority- of most of our
manufacturers over those of Europe.
England and Germany, shipping their
goods to South America in their own
ships, enjoy a prestige that Is of very
great benefit to them, while our lack of
the means of direct and quick com
munlcatlon is a serious handicap to us
It Is remarkable that under the circuni
stances we are making any progress in
the South American markets, and cer
talnly there could be no better tribute
to the superiority of our manufactured
products for which there is a demand
in those markets.
OCR OEfiEROVH PENSION SYSTEM.
It Is a matter of general knowledge
that the pension system of the
United States Is by far the most gen
erous in the world, but it Is not com
monly understood that the annual ex'
penditures of this government for pen
sions are more than double the total
paid by all other governments put
together. Yet Buch Is the fact The
amount estimated as necessary for the
payment of our pensions for the coming
fiscal year is 1138.600,000, a decrease of
$5,500,000 as compared with the ap
propriation for the present fiscal year,
hut all other countries combined, as
shown by a writer iu the current num.
ber of the Forum, do not pay an amount
for pensions equal to this.
While practically there are military
pension systems in all countries, in few
of them are the regulations under
which applications may be filed as favor
able as they are In this country. In
every other country a comparatively
brief limit is placed upon the time in
v, hlch an application can e made for
a pension, while in this country
soldier who incurred a wound or dls
ability In the civil war forty years ago
may apply for a pension, with every
assurance of receiving It if he can trace
the orlk-ln of a disability to his army
service. Such generosity Iu the treat
ment of those having a claim to pen
slons Is not only unknown In any other
country than the United States, but is
unprecedented in all history. There are
a few inluor. respects :la which some
foreign governments are a little more
liberal or Indulgent than the United
States, but on the whole no nation ap-
nronihes this in generosity to it
soldiers, their widows and orphans, and
yet it is not. uncommon to hear the
complaint that th United States gov
eminent is not doing its duty by the
uulon veterans of the civil war and the
soldiers of ths war with Spain.
Certainly tbos who malts this com
plaint cannot have carefully examined
yio facts and mads- themselves ao
aualuted nlU - lbs pension conditions
la European countries. They cannot
know that the estimated payment for
pensions by this government for
the coming fiscal year Is more than
double the total of all other govern
ments put together. Otherwise there
would surely be no complaint that this
republic is not sufficiently liberal to Its
defenders.
Nor has the end of this national gener
osity been reached. Congress Is still
giving pensions with a liberal hand. In
many cases to persons whose claims
go back to the early years of the civil
war, In more numerous cases to thone
whose disability Is much more recent
but Is presumed to be1 due to military
service. The people gladly contribute
to every expenditure of this kind that
is right and just. There Is no popular
objection to a pension roll, however
large, that Is known to le honest and
fair. There Is every reason to believe
that such Is its character todny and so
it should continue to be.
RAILWAY SAtKtr APPLIAXCVS.
A statement prepared by the Inter
state Commerce commission shows tlm
value of the legislation requiring rail
road companies to equip their cars
with safety appliances. It is stated that
railroad travel has been made much
safer to passengers and employes of
the roads since the enforcement of the
law requiring the use of safety appli
ances on locomotives and cars. This law
went into full effect on August 1, HMX),
since which time the number of acci
dents has decreased 60 per cent
This is a very satisfactory showing
and gives promise of a still further re
duction In the annual number of acci
dents, as greater care is exercised to
avoid them, a considerable proportion
of the accidents occurring since the
law went into effect being In what may
be called emergency work and to men
new In the sen-Ice. There was a good
deal of opposition on the part of the
railroads to this legislation when it was
proposed, but its wisdom has been
most amply demonstrated and no rail
way company, It Is safe to assume,
would now be disposed to return to the
old system. The legislation necessitated
a largo outlay by the railroads, but no
doubt this has already been more than
made up by the reduced number of acci
dents.
DECREASED RISKS AXD INCREASED
RATES.
In its endeavor to Justify the recent
advance of insurance rates a New York
Insurance Journal lays great stress upon
the fact that the rates of tire Insurance
are not based upon the local risk, but
upon the general risk. The insurance
organ declares that "towns do not In
general stand by themselves and can
not be rated as if they did so stand.
Every year big losses may occur some
where and they have to be paid for
In a great part by the Insurance com
pany. If the latter could always or
generally tell where these visitations
would fall the adjusting of premiums
would be a much simpler matter than
It is now. They can Judge approxi
mately how much the lire loss lu the
United States will be, but how much It
will be In the towns and cities they can
scarcely guess. Fire Insurance has to
take the broud look and the range of
Its work. It has to remind Utica,
Nashville, Buffalo and Omaha time and
again that they are not solitary excep
tions, unique; that they are all related
to one another; that they are more or
less sharers to a greater or less extent
in a common lot and that in no one of
them can last year's fire be mado a
measure of this year's premiums."
This argument sounds very plausible,
but how does it explain the rank di
vergence of premiums exacted In cities
east and west of the Mississippi? If
every locality contributes toward the
protection of all the other localities in
the country, why should not all be
treated alike? Why should the one class
of risks In one locality pay a higher
rate than the same class of risks . is
paying in another locality? Why should
not insurance rates be uniform In ratio
to the class of structures Insured? In
Omaha, for example, the Insurance
agents have "pressed for more efficient
water protection and a larger fire fight
lng force. These demands have been
compiled with, but fire rates have not
been reduced In proportion to the re
duced risk.
Another heavy increase in Insurance
rates is about to be imposed upon bus!
ness men in the face of the preparations
being made by the city for an increased
fire fighting force and more and better
tire extinguishing apparatus, which will
entail an additional 1-mill levy for fire
protection on the property of all Omaha
taxpayers. These stubborn facts are
very hard to combat by local fire insur
ance agents when they appeal for
patronage to the business men.
The franchlsed corporations made
great mistake when they sought to over
throw the findings of the tax commis
sioner through manipulation of the
Board of Review and Board of Equalisa
tion. It would be stupendous folly for
them now to seek to override the man
date of the supreme court They have
had a soft snap for the last ten years
In the matter of taxation and they
should bo content with being placed on
a dead level with all other classes of
taxpayers. While It Is true that a large
volume of taxable property Is under
valued or allowed to escape taxation
altogether, the fault Is as much theirs
as anybody's. When all taxpayers Join
the movement to enforce the letter and
spirit of the revenue laws the burden
will be lightened all around and the tax
rate instead of being 34 mills will be
anywhere from 15 to 20 miliar

Live Nebraska Towns
Falls City Favored
Nebraska is an agricultural state and Us
towns derive their growth and maintain
heir stability from the productiveness and
development of the surrounding country.
Richardson county occupies the southeast
corner of the slate and was one of the
flrst counties to be settled. Its soil is
highly productive and a crop failure has
never been known. The topography of the
county renders It peculiarly adapted botn
to agricultural pursuits and to stockralslng.
Surrounded by such a country as this.
Falls City, the county seat of Richardson
county, has risen to Its prevent place
among Nebraska county seat towns. The
city is beautifully and healthfully located
upon high ground and Is typical of the
ubstantlal western town that Is built upon
natural resources and with a permanent
prosperity reeultant from the conservative
Investment of capital secured first from ths
development of these resources.
When the last census was tsken Falls
City had a population of 3.022. and it Is
fully abreast of other towns of Its size In
the matter of improvements and advant
ages. Two railways afford quick an.? easy
transportation to Omaha, Kansas City and
St. Joseph, thus giving the producers the
benefit of the advantages that the markets
of these cities afford and bring- . the ad
vantages of metropolitan Ufa almost to the
doors of Falls City homes. The people of
Falls City take great pride In the educa
tional facilities which the town affords.
It has an excellent system of graded
schools which are on the accredited list of
the University of Nebraska, and the work
nquestionably be glad to keep them
upplied with photographic likenesses
entirely free of charge. Such Innocent
erslon ought to be encouratred amonor

The col'apelble table, containing decan

king or anybody else from climbing over
all the people In the row between every act
to go out and lay the dust in the throat
will be received with wild delight in every
civilized community.
Assessed Valuation of Franchises.
Buffalo Express.
The supreme court of Nebraska has laid
down a rule for the assessment of the In
tangible property of corporations which
prescribes that the value of its stock In
the general market must be taken as a
basis. This would seem to imply that the
value of a franchise must be determined
by subtracting the value of tangible prop
erty from the value of the corporation's
stock. Such a method has been urged by
some persons In this state. It would in
crease greatly franchise assessments.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.
Ord Journal: A. E. Cady of St. Paul has
announced himself as a candidate for con
gress, it will be a warm scrap for the
republican nomination.
Imperial Republican: While It is argued
that Hon. O. W. Norrls already holds the
responsible position of district Judge, yet
he la the only candidate this part of the
district has for congressman. If the nom
ination should come to this part of the
district, give us Norrls. The east part of
the district has able candidates In Captain
Adams, W. P. McCreary and others.
O'Neill Frontier: The Frontier stated last
week that Hon. W. W. Wood of Rushvllle
was mentioned In connection with the re
publican nomination for congress. We are
reliably informed that he is in no sense
a candidate for the honor. The fact Is, the
north end of the district Is practically solid
for Hon. M. P. Klnkald of this city, the man
who above all others is capable of redeem
ing in the big Sixth.
McCook Republican: The flattering en
dorsements from all over the district that
Hon. O. W. Norrls of this city is receiving
as a possible candidate on the republican
ticket for congress is most gratifying to
his many friends. Judge Norrls is a strong
man and would undoubtedly poll the full
vote of his party, as well as draw largely
from the opposition. Here, at his home, he
la one of the most popular men in politics.
He will probably get the solid support of
the county In the convention. Judging from
the general opinion of the people at present.
Rushvllle Recorder: M. P. Klnkald, re
publican candidate for the Sixth congres
sional district, of O'Neill, was In town last
evening, shaking hands with his many
friends. He favored this office with a
friendly call, and in the course of his con
versation referred to his prospects, not only
of getting the nomination, but of eventually
carrying the district. This Is based on his
previous campaign, in which It was said If
be carried the Judicial district by BOO he
would carry everything. He carried the
Judicial by 800 and only had 211 between
him and his opponent.
Kearney Hub: A special telegram from
St. Paul states that A. E. Cady has Just
authorized the announcement of his candi
dacy for the republican nomination for
congress In the Sixth district, with the ad
ditional statement that he will "have the
enthusiastic support of his home delega
tion as well as those from a number of
neighboring counties." As the list now
stands we have Beeman and Good ell of
Buffalo, Grimes of Lincoln, Currie of Cus
ter. Cady of Howard and Klnkald of Holt.
It Is a formidable list of strong men from
which the conventlos cannot fall to select
a winner.
St. Paul Republican: Howard county re
publicans will take peculiar pleasure In
presenting the name of Hon. A. E. Cady of
St. Paul to the Sixth district congressional
convention for the nomination which It
soon must make. This action has Just been
authorized by Mr. Cady, who. In compliance
with urgent requesta from all quarters of
the district, haa had the matter under con
sideration for several months. In present
ing his candidacy local republicans will feel
a pardonable pride on account of the gal
lant race be made In . the dark year of
1896, when the free silver mania swept Ne
braska and the entire west Into the demo,
cratlo column,
i Lynch Journal: We do not live In the
Third congressional district, but It would be
a pleasure to . go down there this fall and
help elect W. W. Young of Stantoa to con
gress. We have known Mr. Young ever
since he located in Stanton, at which time
ws were whittling desks in the second pri
mary department. For years we have be
lieved that Mr. Young ought to be In con
gress snd one dsy would be sent there by
the Third dlsflet. And mark the predic
tion, when he gets there he will be heard
from, not only back home In Nebraska, but
the country all over as one of the members
of real worth that has convictions on all
subjects and Is ready to support them.
Clay Center Sun: If there Is a man In
the district held In higher esteem by both
friend and foe politically than Hon. S. W.
Christy we have not made his acquantanc.
All know that In congress he would rep
resent the entire people. His honesty Is
a byword among all who know him, and
but few have a more extended acquaiatancs
In the state than he. His ability Is un
questioned. His good Judgment In public
affairs and In his profession Is universally
recognized. The opposition would have
reason to fear his nomination, and It la
generally a pretty good thing to do what
your political opponents most earnestly de
sirs you should not do. v
Grand Islasd Independent: The republi
can candidates for the congressional nonte
lnatlon In the Sixth district are a strong
family. There are among the men men
tioned three or four very able, very accep
table men and the republicans of the district
have reason to congratulate themselves.
One of the best among them, one who would
not only look well. Intelligently and con
scientiously to the interests of his district
In the halls of the bouse, but who would
also reflect credit end serve well the Inter
ests of ths entire state, Is Hon. A. E. Cady
of St. Paul. Directly the people of the
Fifth district are not iatereMed In ths
outcoms. But Indirectly they are largely
lntereated and his nomination would cer
tainly be pleasing tc many over the stats
who have bad ths opportunity to know Mr.
Csdy personally and appreciate bis sterling
character and worth.

also add ' that the same feeling will be
shared by the adjoining counties and
largely throughout the Fifth district.
Wherever Mr. Christy Is known he Is held
in the highest esteem and recognized for his
strict Integrity and ability; he Is profes
sionally honeat and gentlemanly and per
sonally of clean morals. The popularity of
Mr. Christy at home Is already well known
and recognized In other parts of the district
and will prove a great source of strength In
the campaign. The nomination of Mr.
Christy will be recognition of the growing
demand for clean men in positions of honor
and trust, and the party that takes the lead
In meeting such demand will command the
respect of the best element of our citizens.
Stanton Picket: A very large number of
the press and the people of this district
freely express the opinion that no stronger
or better nomination could be made to con
gress by republicans than Senator W. W.
Young. His candidacy, although announced
only a few days ago, has made a pro
nounced and favorable Impression. 'No
other candidate for any office has received
as many or as strong endorsements from
the press as has he. Judging from these,
from what we know of his standing
throughout the district and the fact that
his location Is most favorable, being in
the center of the dlstrlot, the chances for
his nomination are the best of any can
didate in the field. This is exactly what
fusion politicians fear and are attempting
to prevent. They admit his ability, hla
uprightness, bis moral courage, hla ora
torical powers all these which so admira
bly fit him for the position and serve to
make him a favorable candidate for his
own party and a dangerous opponent for
republican opposers. With such a man as
the republican candidate they know that
it will be the third and final race for Mr.
Robinson. Let the republican convention
nominate W. W. Young and redemption nt
the Third congressional district becomes an
assured fact.
York Republican: It has always been
conceded that Hon. E. J. Hatner stands
among the foremost of the big, brainy
men of Nebraska. When this district had
the good torture to be represented by him
In congress it was represented by a man
whose force and ability were recognised
by his colleagues, and when he spoke all
listened. He attracted the attention and
consideration of the people of the nation;
he was an acknowledged leader, a sought
after adviser among big men. He Is a
man of sterling character, one who can
be neither bought nor Intimidated. He Is
not a mixer. He is not hall-fellow-well-met
with everybody, strangers and ac
quaintances alike. You have to go half
way to meet him if you want to know
him, and when you know him you know
that you never met a more genial, gen
erous man in your life, and the more you
know him you will Ilka him the better.
Republicans will nominate a
good congressman this time. The Repub
lican hopes It will be Mr. Hainer. He is
better fitted for the position than any
man in the district by reason of his ex
perience In congress. He Is fearless and
he will do what be believes to be right
though the heavens fall. Such men make
big names for their districts when they
have a constituency big enough to place
them In congress snd leave them there till
they have time to accomplish something.

BETTER DAYS A-COMIV.
James Barton Adams In Denver Post.
When the cares of Ufa distress you and
misfortune seems to press you. to tha
dnrk brink of the chasm of despair.
When the world seems cold and cheerless
and your eyes are seldom tearless as
you wrestle with a load of rarklng care.
Far beyond your cares and troubles, soma
of which are flimsy bubbles, let your
glances wander to tne reddening sky
Where the light Is upward creeping, where
the sun will soon be peeplrut; there's a
better day a com In' by and by.
Darkness scatters fore the light.
8unshlne puts the shades' to flight,
In the nooks of peace the pleasant waters
lie.
Kvtry pain will find a balm.
Every storm fade Into calm
There's a better day a coniln' by and by.
Neve? bow to tribulation nor give way to
l.imentatlon, never loiter by the waysldo
shedding tears;
Let not weakness overcome you, drive de
spondency far from you, though the
threatening thunders crawh about your
ears.
In the fight be wise and wary, cope with
every adversary with the resolution
here to do or die.
And, though hope seems but sn' ember
bearing scan- a spark, remember
there's a better day a comln' by and by.
Night Is followed by the day,
Every cloud muxt pass away.
There's a smile upon the trail of every sigh,
There's a laugh behind the tear,
There's a Joy for every fenr.
There'. a better day a oomln' by and by.
