Mr. Bryan will doubtless feel very grateful . to Mr. Shallenberger for pulling him through. btili, we doubt If Mr. Bryan was urprised as much as he would have een had he been elected. Mr. Bryan . must be convinced that New York never intended to give him a real Madison Square deal. Remember how the democrats de nounced Mr. Frank Hitchcock as an amateur campaign manager?

' Trie revenus problem will be one of the serious questions before the coming short session of congress. With a re publican administration elected to suc ceed President Roosevelt, IV will not be necessary to defer any of the pressing ubllc questions to the Consideration of the new congress and the revenue question Is fine, demanding Immediate ttentlon. The charge of extravagance against the present republican administration not borne out by the record and the question of revenues Is ono en tirely separate from legitimate expen ditures. The appropriations for, the present fiscal year are only 'about 10,000,000 in excess of the expendi tures of last year, a very small amount In view of the fact that the last con gress passed both a public building bill and a river and harbor bill. It Bhows, fact, a retrenchment In every other epartment of the government.- The decrease In revenues Is due solely to falling off In Internal revenue re ceipts and the customs duties, the lat ter being caused by the general busi ness depression. A year go the treasury deficit stood at $3,656,000. At the end of the fiscal year, on June 30, It had Increased to 59,655,000 and Is now about $102,- 000,000. Fortunately, the Increase now being recorded In Imports prom ises to materially reduce this figure before the end of the present fiscal year, on June 30, 1909, but there is nothing to indicate any growth of in ternal revenue receipts. To what ex tent the decrease in theBe receipts Is ue to the prohibition movement In the west and south Is not clear, but it is reasonable to suppose that the dis tillery operations have been restricted somewhat, pending election results In the various states. Some Increase In business may now be expected, "but the officials are beginning to believe, that the consumption of liquors Is decreas ing and that the former receipts from internal revenue may tiardly be ex pected again. In view of the conditions, the; com ing congress will have to at least ex ercise greatest care In the matter of appropriations, even if It does not take the initial step toward plana for In creasing the national revenues.. THE ESO OF A SCANDAL. Panama canal affairs figured In the official actions of two nations last week. At Washington, those in charge f affalrt on the Isthmus, after a most searching inquiry, acquitted '.; Colonel George W. Goethals, who Is in-charge of construction, of the charge of un fairness In the award of contracts. The charge was made by an unsuccessful bidder and was circulated by the demo cratic campaign committee for political purposes. Colonel Goethals' exonera tion was complete and emphatic. The other canal affair was an appli cation .in . the French ourtg; for the winding up Of the affairs of the old French Panama Canal commlsslo.i, the operations of which was one of France's greatest scandals two decades ago. The reports show that 228,000 French creditors will share in the division of $154,000, which is all that remains of the millions on millions that were poured by the French people Into the Panama canal scheme. No one now charges Count de Les- seps with Intent to defraud the French people with his Panama canal scheme. He bad reached his dotage before his bubble was formally floated. ' Time has demonstrated that his engineering plans were faulty and impossible of completion, but he believed in them and the French people and the French people accepted his plans and poured out their savings on the assurance that the canal would be completed in eight years from the organization of the company. When the bubble burst, M. de Lesseps and his board of directors were fined and Imprisoned on charge of defrauding the, investors. The record shows one of waste, extrava gance and. hopeless ignorance of the engineering problems Involved. Vege tation sprang up on the canal route. Engines, expensive machinery and a vast quantity of material were allowed to go to waste and ruin until the United States came along, bought the concessions from the French and started toward speedy completion the lnteroceanio canal which has been the dream of centuries. WAS HOSES A DEMOCBAT1 Colin M. Selph, a democratic candi date for congress from a St. Louis dis trict, has raised a question whleh may as well be taken up and settled before the next campaign, lest It may become a paramount Issue. Selph Is a word painter from away back, and in one of his oratorical flights, in a talk be fore a Jewish club, he declared that Solomon, David and Moses were all democrats, laying particular stress on Mo&es' loyalty to the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland, Bryan nd Dabl- man. Selph offered In support of his argument that Moses fought and stood for the principles for which the demo crats are fighting today and he chal lenged anyone to prove the contrary. The question is one that may be dis cussed without partisan bias at this time and it la perhaps worth while to examine into some of the Issues In the campaigns recalled by Mr, Selph. It is a matter of record that Moses did not get into the promised land, lu which respect his record Is very like that of the Bryan democracy. Moses was also opposed to his followers wor shiping the golden calf and he de stroyed their platform In that respect. The record is not clear whether he was a 16 to 1 advocate or a greenbacker, but it Is clear that he was against the gold standard. It la also true that in M ones' tlfne his follower .were con- staotly wandering away and some Vn tribes of them were wholly lost. The Bryan democrats have bad a similar experience. These instances and the fact that Moses' people wandered in the wilder ness for a generation give some color to the democratic claim that the most distinguished character, of antiquity was a democrat, but there are other episodes in the career of Moses that do not bear out thederaocratlc claims. Moses was the original emancipator, who struck the shackles off the limbs of bondsmen of his time. The history of the section of the United States south of Mason and Dlxon'a line fur nish proof that such Is not-democratic doctrine. It Is recorded, too, that Moses struck a rock and got water, while the democracy of today has been striking rocks and getting Standard oil. THE BEE IN THE CAMPAIQX. The course of tha local republican organ was another factor in democratic success. The Bee converted Itself into a sewer early in the campaign and Its output waa pollu tion. It made such a campaign of men dacity and abuse aa Douglas county had never seen before. Its scurrlllous attacks on Mr. Bryan from day to day ware a part of the same policy. And all this offended re publicans. It pays to be decent. Tha Bea may learn It aome day. The above from the . Worid-Herald is about on par with the general course of that paper. If The Bee has any re gret In connection with Its course dur ing the late campaign It is that the fight was not made more vigorous. Instead of throwing mud and resort ing to tactics alleged against It, The Bee carefully refrained from any mud throwing. Several times during the campaign It was forced to speak plainly In order to warn the citizens what the election of the local democratic ticket meant. At those times The Bee spoke the truth and has no apology to make for so doing, but The Bee withheld far more than it printed because It did not care to engage in mud-slinging, and it did believe that the people would reject the candidates offered by the democratic party without the necessity of exposing all the unsavory mess that lay behind them. y ' Elmer E. Thomas shows his caliber by writing an apology to Governor Sheldon, explaining that he did not know what he was talking about when he made his vicious and mendacious attick on the governor. If Mr. Thomas were the earnest champion of the cause of morality he professes to be he would have taken steps to ascer tain the truth before sending out the circular. It waa a deliberate etab in the back and as such will always stand against Thomas' record. The Cuban minister to the United States, who bas been visiting in Eu rope, say all the foreign nations wish Cuba to establish and maintain self government. He borders close to the humorous when he reports that the Spanish are convinced that the Cubans are capable of managing their own af fairs. The state house squad are preparing to move on the first of the year and will "go home knowing that things un der the dome of the capitol are in good shape. The democrats coming in will find a mighty good example to follow In the work done by the republicans who are going out. Congressman Kinkaid has the satis faction of knowing that whatever the outcome of the Vote in his district, he haB fixed his name firmly on the annals of Nebraska. , The Kinkaid law Is one that has done much good for the state and will keep the name of its author always In memory. A citizen complains that the law against betting on election is not en forced. It is quite likely that this citizen could get a goodly number of supporters for his proposition ff he would call together the losers in the "late unpleasantness." Joe Letter traveled In Europe under an assumed name In order to ' avoid annoyance by newspaper folks and photographers. He doubtless wishes he could have lost that wheat deal un der an assumed name or with assumed money. Government chemists state that "dark, reddish brown glass bottles fur nish the roost protection for beer." Consumers may not know as much about the dark, reddish brown glass aa they do about the dark, reddish brown taste. Senator Aldrlch has announced that t will not be a candidate for re-elec tlon when hia term expires on March 4, 1911. Mr. Bryan might move to Rhode Island and get In line for the heirship. One more reference to the names, Miss Helen Bye and George Dern were married at Kansas City, giving the wags an opportunity to comment on the Bye-Dern nuptials. No matter how it happened, it hap pened, and there Is Just one thing for the republicans to do now, and that is to get together and redeem Nebraska once more. , The press at the state capital la walling over the defeat of Governor Sheldon an end which the paper printed at Lincoln did very little to avert.

All tha world knows It. Aa It faces the future It can do so with satisfaction over Its achievements and with a certain confidence born of tri umphant accomplishment 1n years gone by. The past at least la secure. . The republican party came- Into being aa tha expression of earnest patriots who were determined to prevent the further extension of slavery Into tha territories. Tha loglo of vents made it the leader of the larger movement for human freedom. Tha at tempt of tha dominant wing of tha demo cratic party to destroy the United States placed upon the new party the responsi bility for tha saving of the union. Tha exigencies of civil war compelled It to adopt a policy which resulted In a wide ex tension of federal authority In contrast with tha older notion of state rights. Emancipation waa necessarily followed by constitutional amendments securing free dom and civil -and political rights for a downtrodden race. Kven In tha midst of battles It planned a wise homestead policy and the building of a railroad across tha continent for tha greater glory of tha new United States which appeared after the smoke of conflict had rolled away.

LESSONS OF THE ELECTION. Result Spells Confidence and Business Revival. Chicago Record-Herald. Prosperity and a revival of business are spelled by the election of Taft. That I tha general view of business men, as ex pressed last right after the result of tba election waa i-o longer In doubt. The revival in Industrial and commer cial fields Is not to be confined to any par ticular kind of business, but will be gen eral In the belief of those who are quali fied to speak.' All line of trade and In dustry will feel the beneficial effects of tha Taft election. Tho revival Is likely to begin almost Immediately and will con tinue In ever' increasing volume during the next six months or so until the affairs of the nation In a business way ara ones more normal. Railroad men and bankers, manufactur er and merchants, stock broker ard board of trade men all join in declaring that the transformation of former Judge Taft Into President-elect Taft means tha end of depression. One of tho Immediate effect of the election will be the carrying through of many deal, and many of them for large sum, which were awatttng the eucoess of the republican nominee. It I tated that millions of dollars are repre sented In business transactions which were dependent An Taft'a election. All thl volume of business will now be electrified life. .

In broad experlanoa, In speclfle training, and especially In familiarity with the problem and aspiration of the time, that the country now possesses. 'Therefore,- the congratulation that ar due to Mr, Taft today ara a mere incident In tha reault of yesterday's election. The whole nation must b regarded a unusu ally fortunate, not so much because of tha election of Mr. Taft as because of tha expression of will that his election Im plies. Por, after all. It Is not alone tha kind of man chosen for the presidency that de notes national Intelligence and foresight and stability, but also the things he repre sents In an Impersonal way. la There a Parallel T Kansas City Star. James O. Blaine once aald to Colonel A. K. MoClure: "I am the Henry Clay of the republican party; I can never be president." With even greater Justice W. J. Bryan may regard himself aa tha democratic Henry Clay, These are the only two men to be thrice defeated for tha prealdency. Clay was first a candidate in 1821. when he waa 7 year old eleven year older than Bryan in 1896. He waa fourth In the elec toral colleges and J. Q. Adams got the de cision when the conteat was thrown Into the house of representatives. In 1832 Clay ran against Jackson, but got only forty-nine vote to. hi opponent' 219. HI third and final contest was against Polk In 1844. when he was 'beaten by aixty-flve In the elec toral colleges. - It waa an affecting scene at Ashland. Clay' home, when tha Kentucky elector sent a committee to condole with him. At the cloae of the chairman' address tha de feated leader responded: "I heartily thank you, sir, for your friendly wlehe for my happiness In the retirement which henoe forth best become me." "The retirement." Will tho parallel hold goodT Clay was then 67. Bryan I only 48. A Dentoeratle View. Bt. Louis Republic. Ad administration with Mr. Taft at It head may be looked forward to without apprehension or fear of unseemly or serious disturbance. Ha haa Intellect, dignity, ex perience and balance. Relieved of the neceaslty of acknowledging political ex pediency, candor demands that w restore to him tha qualities he declared before he became the candidate of hi party. It Is only essential that Mr. Taft assert himself and shake off tha domination of Mr. Roose velt to be the president whoa dignity, poise and sanity will become the man who waa made known to tha people by reason of sturdy accomplishment In their behalf.
