ThK HtrVtiLrtAS CoCUTT TICK t T.
Tbe ticket put In nomination by the
republicans of DourIrs county In their
convention yeaterday varies In no par
ticular from that decreed it the pri
ma rlis held last Tuesday, whose results
have been known for several days. Al
though It could, in our Judgment, be
stronger In two or three places, the
ticket as a whole contains elements of
popularity thRt will commend it to the
roters and should Insure republican
success.
In placing W. W. Bingham at tbe head
as the nominee for clerk of the district
court, we believe the choice has rested
on the man best prepared to make a
wlnnlnf race against the present demo
cratic Incumbent, whose strength Is not
to bennderrsted, Mr. Bingham la a rep
resentative business man who haa been
In public life as a member of the city
cob noli for two terma and Is well and
favorably known throughout the County.
For sheriff, James Allan undoubtedly
possesses tbe qualifications to fulfill the
duties of the office. He bat besides the
elements that go to make a good cam
paigner end a personal popularity that
should be serviceable to hlrn notr. ' As
we said during the preliminary cam
paign, be may be called on to explain
parts of bis record In other public posi
tions, and It Is to be hoped be will be
able to give explanations satisfactory to
the voters.
The selection of Robert Fink to run
for treasurer could scarcely be Improved
on. Mr. Fink Is already familiar with
the duties of the office. He is a German
American who has a wide acquaintance
with the voters and who stands well
with all classes. -
Of the nominee for county Judge, re
nominated for a third term. The Bee has
expressed Its opinion without ' reserve
during the preliminary ' campaign. It
does not think the record of Judge Vln
sonbaler should hare been endorsed. A
majority of the. republicans at the pri
maries saw fit to tak3 a different view
and The Bee is content to leave his
claims to be ratified or rejected by tie
voters at the polls.
The candidacy of Harry D. Reed for
the Bfcwly created office of county asses
eor csn be unqualifiedly commended.
Mr. Reed Is In every way perfectly
equipped to Inaugurate the reforms ex
pected from the occupant of this Ira
portabt position. " His knowledge of
realty, values and experience In apprais
ing property, together with his service
on the. Board of Reriew, makrhlur tbe
man for the place. His Integrity,' more
over, which is all important, haa never
been questioned.
For county clerk. Charlet Unltt has
been ' given , the opportunity to make
anew the race which he lost two years
ago. It will . depend , largely, on . his
hustling abilities whether the office of
county clerk can be recaptured for the
republicans this time.
The nominee for commissioner, M. 3.
ICennard, Is a man who stands high In
business circles and who will, we are
ture. fill the position acceptably to the
taxpayers, I , ,
For the legislative vacancy the'selec-
tlon of Henry C. Murphy, a rising young
attorney, gives South Omaha a place on
the ticket on which It would otherwise
have been unrepresented.
The other names on the county ticket
represent renomlnntlons in recognition
f meritorious service Coroner Braiiey,
Surveyor Edqulst and Superintendent of
Schools Bodwell.. It goes without saying
that re-election will follow.
Tbe selections for minor offices, Includ
ng police magistrates for Omaha and
South Oinnha, Justices of tbe peace, con
statues ana precinct officers, on the
ticket are above the average.
The significant feature of the conven
tlon was the atmosphere of harmony
that pervaded it. Witn factional dif
ferences sunk, there is no rensou why
Douglas county should not In November
roll up one of its old time majorities.

That was a very atrlklug address
whlcu Was dollvered In Cblcaao on Frl
Uy by Judge GfObscup on the subject
of Incorporated dishonesty. Having
bad at much to do as perhaps any other
member of tire federal Judiciary with
corporations. Judge Grosscup'S opinion
as to what Is necessary to the super-
vlttlon and regulation of the corpora
tloua is of great Interest aud it may be
remarked that he has very positive
view on the subject.
He is not an enemy of honestly
formed corporations. He believes tbey
are here to slay end regards them a
civilisation's way of making masses

strongly Impressive. He thinks that
the corporation will not diminish, but
reach out and perpetually enlarge,
What is nweswry I to provide that It
shall be honest and not permitted t

tlons, so that the public may be fully
Informed respecting the character and
trusl worthiness of such corporations.
'Tut the ort;anlitloo of all corpora

Jiul!e Crosscup, "and above all other

That It Is practicable to do this Is not I
to be doubted. Provision has alrcndy I
leen made for enabling the government
to ascertain the character of the organ!-
yatlon of corporations and their meth-
otls of management and business1. A
bureau for this purpose has been estab I
llshed and is now in operation. If the I
nthority conferred upon It by congress
hall be sustained tfy tbe courts for
nndonbtediy the' courts will be appealed
to the knowledge necessary to tafu-1

po rat Ions can be obtained, t'nder the
uthorlry of this bureau every corpora-1
tlon engaged In commerce among the
states or with foreign countries can be
Inspected and It there Is found to be
nythlng fraudulent In them the fact I
will be made public It It reasonably I
to be expected that this will put an end
to Incorporated dishonesty, for It Is cer-1
talnly safe to assume that no one will
Invest In a corporation that has not met
the requirements of the government In-
vestlgatlon. Judge Orosscup's j, view Is
unquestionably sound and will be ap-1
proved by a very large majority of
those who have given intelligent consid
eration to the subject.

t'nlfcd States is foremost in the thought
of the men who are discing in Sn-
land the question of a change In tut

hI policy of that country. On the
,e hand the ' advocates of a change

point to the fact that tbe American
tariff shuts out tbe products of British
fManctm-oa and tha .ompthina- is
necessary to create a situation which
will not be ao,wholly favorable to tbe
trtdc. of this couhtry. That is the post-
tlon of Mr. Chamberlain, who bas freely
pointed to the American policy as being
Inlnitcnl tn TtrtHHh Jntorats.
On tl.u 'other hand, tha chamnlona of
the existing British policy Insist that
no greater mistake could be made than
to tintngonize the trade Interests of the
United States by adopting a policy of
diycrimiiihtive tariffs such as Mr. Chain
berlnin pioposes. Thus Mr. Ritchie,
former chancellor Of the exchequer.
said in an address fe couple of days ago
that onu of the principal questions to bo
considered was the attitude of the
United States. "This country must
try," he declared, "to guard against giv
ing the United States any. cause tot re
sentment which would result In Its pun
ishing Canada." There is seen in Mils
the solicitude which . thoughtful snd
conservative Englishmen feel In regard
to the relations between Canada and
tbe United States, and it is not to be
doubted that this feeling will becomo
more extended and influential as the
discussion of the Chamberlain policy
procecda. What men like Mr. Ritchie
understand Is that the most important
of the British colonies, Canada, is really
at the mercy of the United States com
merclally and they would avoid doing
anything tha might produce conditions
adverse to the interests and the welfare
of Great Britain's North American pos-
sesslon. It is not unreasonable , to as-
sume that this will bnve a consUKrable
influence with the people of the United
Kingdom. ,

The nearest department of the gov
eminent to the people is the postal
service. It meets thein every day in
their homes aud while as a rule they
do not and never hnveserlously con
sidered what its cost is to the nation, It
Is Btlll net to be doubted that the more
Intelligent of our people are Interested
in the iUestlou of expense, albeit not at
al worried by the fact that every year
shows a deficiency In the postal
revenues. x
There Is no doubt as to the deslra
blllty of making the postal service self
supporting, nor Is there any question
that It is practicable to do this. The
essential thing seems to be to introduce
into the service more careful and pru -
dent methods and recent disclosures ap-
peur to leave no doubt that this can be
doue. The government, it ia pretty cob,
cluslvely shown, has been persistently
robbed for a good many years, Just howl

never be ascertained. What la Obvb

provement Is. the basis of mental and

What is specially gratifying is that
this progress Is more marked among; the
American people than among the people
of auy other nation on earth. That this
is due In large part to the Influence of our

in England It runs up to 27. In most of

Does travel broaden a man? Jfot neces

what a man gets tn his travels depends
wholly npon what he takes with htm. And
before a man can be certain of benefiting
by going up and down the Sarth and to
and fro therein, he must have a special
education -not a college education, but one
In human nature.
Foreign travel thus far has ruined thou

Springfield Republican. .
In these bright October days, when tha
perfection of June Is rivaled, and even sur
passed, tha foot naturally goes afield, led
by myriad drawings of ths heart and long
ings of the brain for the clear sun and
swift color and sweet, c!n wind and far
sight from tha mountain crest and rich
fragrance of feme and fallen maplo leaves,
with basel. sweet fern and dearberrles, snd
the royal golden rods everywhere. There
la a physical tne'.l in these autumnal aur
roundlr.gs. Such as to supple tha muBdea
and tuvlgnrate the fierves and send ths
less a pushing puis to remind them they
were mad for further and better things
than to measure ths space between house
and work. To. a man who Uvea In tha
country, who "farms It," there Is no such
special impulse, because - h Just has to
walk, anyhow, and yet October and har
vest bring aest to the farmer, too.
It IS, however, In thla propitious sea
son that even any sort of walking aaaumaa
a pleaaurablo aspect tnat is, out-or-ooor
walking. There Is no. true Joy to be ob
tained, we fancy, from trotting around a
course In a halt, aa pugilista do to get Into
condition for being mauled and for maul

What a horrid matter must be "stated ex

that be professional or hygienic The man
or woman who dutifully train up tuuscla
or trains down fat by so many half hours
or so many hundred feet a day la doing
something which may or may not benefit
health, but pleasure cannot attach to It.
However, let ua not be too dogmatic Dr.

ciliated Dr. Ilolmee' hero, who had nothing
to do but just to walk about, and resolved
that, when better luck came to him
Now hang me! but I mean to have
A traamlil of my own!
And how many men do have treadmllla of
their own, and tramp dally the same old
road, the alata perpetually receding from
their feet, and they laboring to keep In

Walking Is good In Iteelfpbut f-ee walk

rich a pleasure as that of tae fro foot

' Boston Advertiser: It Is hard to say at
this date where the free pew movement
began, but It haa left Its Impress through
out the country. In the city of Boston, for
Instance, It. is only the extremely old
Episcopal churches, whose history Is a
part of tha history of Boston, which re
tain the rented pew Snd, In these few ex
ceptions nearly as many free seats are
provided In the galleries as there are
rented seats. The general Idea of the
tlmea la that the preaching of the gnahel
ahould be absolutely without restriction
to all who may listen. The decline in
churchy attendance, so that churches are In
that position where they are glnd to get
congregations at ell. has been one of the
main factors In the change. But the
change has come even In very prosperous
churches.
