THE DEMOCRATIC LISKIT.
The failure ot Governor Johnson's
friends to break into the Bryan
strength In the Illinois democratic
convention has not discouraged the
eastern democrats, who are still hop
ing to arouse sufficient sentiment to
prevent the Nebraskan from receiving
the necessary two-thlrdsote at Den
ver. Many conventions are yet to be
held and the leaders of the so-called
conservative wing Insist In the public
prints that the outlook is very hopefu
for the nomination of a candidate
other than Mr. Bryan. They assert
that they have been studying the field
very closely in the last few weeks and
are convinced that Bryan delegates are
not nearly so numerous as they have
been estimated.
The New York Times has compiled
a table, based on the estimates of the
anti-Bryan leaders, which gives Mr
Bryan 340 votes, anti-Bryan 250 with
412 "unlnBtructed or doubtful." The
total vote of the convention will be
1,002 and 668 necessary for a choice
The delegates placed In the ahtl-Bryan
column are from Delaware, Maine,
Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island
If the estimates are correct it would
require but eighty-five additional dele
gates to prevent the nomination of
Mr. Bryan.
The framers of the table, however,
have been exceedingly liberal and gen
erous in making up the "uninstructed
or doubtful" column. In this -they
have included Alabama, Alaska, Arkan
sas, California, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, North
and South Carolina, Virginia, West
Virginia, Massachusetts, Washington,
Montana and a few other states. The
anti-Bryan men claim that these dele
gates will be about equally divided be
tween Bryan and some other candi
date, but there is a woeful lack of
argument behind this contention. The
south has shown no hint of defection
from the Bryan ranks. The Indica
tions all are that the southern votes
will be almost solid for Bryan In the
convention whether the delegates have
any hope of his success at the polls or i
not. In none of the other states in
cluded In the "doubtful" column is
there any substantial encouragement
for the anti-Bryanltes.
The New York Times' forecaster de
clares that "In states which have in
structed for Bryan, certain conditions
make it clear that the delegations will
desert the Nebraskan at the first op
portunity." Illinois, Kansas and In
diana are named as among the states
in this class, and the intimation Is of
fered that many delegates In other
states are ready to repudiate their in
structions on the theory that the senti
ment of the country has changed Blnce
their state conventions were held.
All this speculation is Interesting
principally as disclosing the persistent
opposition of a large element of the
democrats to Mr. Bryan. Their tardy
attempt to defeat him for the nomina
tion is hardly likely to accomplish its
purpose, but makes it plain that the
renomination of Bryan at Denver will
no more solidify the party than did the
nomination of Judge Parker at St.
Louis four years ago.
SEyATUR MONET'S WAR CLOUD.
Senator Money of Mississippi, in sup
porting the president's recommenda
tions for the construction of four bat
tleships, has expressed his deep con
viction that a war between the United
States and Japan within the next ten
years la inevitable. In the course of
his address in the senate he said:
I do not believe that ten years will roll
away before we will hava a fight with
Japan for something. I do not know what
the cauae will be, and nobody else docs.
I make no claim for any prevision what
ever In the matter, but I have been a stu
dent of history, which la only philosophy
teaching by example, and I have learned
from that that theso ware come around
very frequently when probably no one la
to blame about It. Their ttlie
Japanese) readiness for war la unques
tioned. Their desire for It la unques
tioned. Their courage la undisputed, and
I want to say It has never been exceeded
in any history 1 have ever read in my life.
Their phyalcal endurance la a marvel. I
do not depreciate the valor and courage
and resources of thla country, because no
country on earth has as great, In my opin
ion; but there la a tremendous army with
not one drunkard In the army, nor a guard
house In the whola army. What la the
punishment? If a soldier la disorderly or
turbulent or disobedient he Is not permitted
to go Into the next battle.
Without pretending to have any
specific excuse for the war that is
bound to come, Senator Money de
clares that "whenever we tackle that
little nation of brown men we are go
ing to have all we can do." For, tha
reason he urges that congress take
steps to place both the navy and the
army on a footing to cope with every
possible emergency.
While it is true that wars between
nations are not scheduled in advance,
certain fixed conditions are generally
recognised as limiting the probabilities
of such conflicts. Chief among these
Is the status of the treasure chest, and
that alone is the surest guaranty that
Japan will not seek to hurry Into a war
with this or any other powerful na
tion tor some years to come. The na-
tlonal debt of Japan is In excess ot
$1,000,000. The tax burdens are
heavier than In any nation of the
world, with the possible exception of
Italy. The Japanese were almost at
the end of their string when the treaty
of Portsmouth was signed. Practically
every man capable of bearing artua
had been sent to the field and the war
chest was down to the last dollar and
the nation's credit with other powers
exhausted. Had Russia been able to
endure the war strain another year, or
even for six montha. Japan would
doubtless have been vanquished, but
Russia was also bankrupt and torn by
dissensions at home, while the Japs
THE OMAHA
were all loyal and ready to fight to the
end. Since the war Japan has as
sumed burdens In Corea and Man
churia that will tax the capacity of the
nation for years. Tlie empire's strained
relations with China will also serve to
keep the Japanese pretty busy at home
without seeking trouble with this coun
try over the Philippines or any other
proposition.
KEEP THE riGVBKS STRAIGHT,
The publication of the preliminary
figures of railroad property assessable
for terminal taxation should not be al
lowed to mislead anyone on the proba
ble returns from this new source of
revenue.
First and foremost, let it be remem
bered that this valuation ot terminal
property is to be used as a basis for
city taxes only and that It does not ap
ply to the levy of state taxes, county
taxes or school district taxes, which
are to continue to be Imposed as here
tofore. Secondly, It should be remembered
that the terminal tax law, as enacted
by the legislature, is by no means as
far-reaching as it was when originally
Introduced. The bill as originally
drafted provided for local assessment
of both tangible and intangible prop
erty which would give Omaha, for ex
ample, the entire franchise value of
the priceless right-of-way through the
heart of a big city, while tho present
law allows only a mileage pro rata of
the total franchise value and of the
rplling stock values. This concession.
expected to work out to the advantage
of the smaller cities and towns as
against Omaha, was necessary in order
to secure legislative ratification.
Without exaggeration, however, and
with full understanding of these con
ditions, the prospects are that the ter
minal tax law will give Omaha and
South Omaha an additional assessed
valuation for city taxation approxi
mating $10,000,000, and that, as
suming the municipal tax rate to lie 1
per cent, it should mean in the neigh
borhood of $100,000 a year added to
the resources of our local government,
and to that extent relieving other own
ers of taxable property. This addition
to the city tax resources should also
enable us to go forward with public
improvements commensurate to the
noeds of a great and growing city with
confidence and without hesitation.

Congress has its mind made up to
have a public building bill and, ac
cording to the chairman of the house
committee on public buildings, Con
gressman Bartholdt of Missouri is go
ing to have it if it takes all summer.
In reply to a report that a veto of the
public building bill might be expected
unless congress voted for four battle
ships, Chairman Bartholdt is quoted as
saying:
Let him try It and see what we will do.
Congress will pass It over his veto; we
will stay here until Chrit-tmas to do it If
necessary. .Wither the house nor the sen
ate will stand for any such Interference.
The fact that the president made no
such threat does not rob Mr. Bar
tholdt's statement of its value in illus
trating the enthusiastic sentiment in
congress in support of bills appropriat
ing money for distribution on congres
sional districts, however timid and hes
itating the members may be about un
dertalng consideration of other meas
ures. A public building bill is essen
tially nonpartisan, democrats and re
publicans alike agreeing always upon
Its urgent necessity and making all
kinds of trades in the apportionment
of the fund.. This was illustrated in a
former congress when Congressman
Holman of Indiana, known as the
"watchdog of the treasury," af,ter hav
ing made life a burden for the repub
licans by objecting to every appropria
tion bill up for consideration sat mute
during tho voting of a liberal appro
priation for a postofflce at Holman's
own town. Tom Reed saw his oppor
tunity and called attention to the sit
uation by quoting:
'Tla aweet to hear the watch-dog's honest
bark
Bay deep-mouthed welcome aa we draw
near home.
The expressed determination of con
gress to fight to the last ditch for a
public building bill only demonstrates
the chronic hunger for "pork" to be
the same that led Holman to preserve
a dignified silence while the treasury
was being tapped for the benefit of his
district. The need of public buildings
Is admitted, but the game of omnibus
log-rolling has led to gre abuses. The
remedy for the evil would be the adop
tion by congresB of a permanent plan

The total assessed valuation of rail

way of exemption of their terminal

The first rrsprnse of n:i English con
stituency to the prograi.i of the new
Asqulth ministry is a distinct black eye.
Winston Spencer Churchill, promoted to a
cabinet position, sought re-election in a
district of Manchester Which had been,
prior to the liberal landslide of J!, a
tory stronghold, and suffered defeat by a
narrow margin. The result is not a sur
prise to any one who has watched the
st?adlly receding wave which carried tho
liberal party Into power two years ago.
One after another of successive bye-elrc-tlons
within twelve months recorded like
Verdicts against tho liberals. What gives
the Manchester election special significance
Is the confident belief in tory circles that
the tariff policy proclaimed by Joseoh
Chamberlain and rejected on app'cal to the
country two years otto has been restored
to life and will become tha winning Issue
at tha next general election. However this
may 1c, It In evident that the Asauith
ministry has a difficult task to carry for
ward ministerial measures against these
manifestations of public disapproval. Each
defeat- nerves the opposition to a greater
effort to disrupt the dominant party and
strengthens the determination of the House
of Jyords to apply the knife unsparingly to
noerai party measures.
The widening Influence and strength of
the Chinese boycott against Japan and
Japanese trade was clearly shown In far-
off Australia last week, when a Japanese
ship left port without a single consignment
from a Chinese merchant. The feeling in
China is equally strong and growing. Jap
anese merchants appreciate the seriousnesa
of the boycott, but are unable to check Its
progress. Besides tho loss of trade, which
Is concededly serious, Japan's pride is
further humiliated by the inability of the
merchants or the government to deal effec
tively with It. No open demonstrations arc
made In China, the boycotters contenting
themselvea wllh refusing to buy or handle
Japanese goods. At Hankow and other
places In the interior the movement Is as
suming an unique phase, the Chinese re.
lusing to handle Japanese bank notes.
Agitlnst this the Jnpanese ambassador filed
a protest, but the Chinese government could
noi iniertere and compel merchants to up
notes on other thun Chinese banks. The
situation presents the rare spectacle of the

How Fwlany Skins
An Onion?
That's no harder to determine than
the piano prices of some dealers. De
ware ot the piano dealer who gives or
allows a "friend" to get you an lnlide
price. If your money is better than
somebody's money, somebody's money
is better than yours. Don't think, for
a moment you have gotten the lowett
price, because you have gotten a re
duction on the askd price. Just ask
"how many skins has an onion?" Some
body pays the commissions, and it cer
tainly in't the dealer.
The man who offers you a lower price
than he does someone else, is cheating
tomebody on price.
Nothing at a like price compares with the Cramer at $190 and with tho
Kimball at $260. Fay monthly $5 and up if you wish. If you can't call write
for particulars. .
