No. That privilege is accorded only to the conscientious candidate who seeks to run ss a democrat and a "wpullst at one and the same time. Plundering the Indians. Regardless of his questionable methods of procedure, Senator Core by bis charges of bribery, has led to the exposition of a frightful system of rapine and plunder by men interested In swindling the helpless Indians out of their rightful property. While the congressional investigation is only be gun, enough has been uncovered to show how these grafters have been and propose to continue robbing Poor do. Undoubtedly the Gore exposition has thwarted some of the gtgantic schemes to enrich the grafters at the Indians' expense, but, of course, the government would scarcely stop there; lb will no doubt prosecute the investi gation to the last stage and institute proceedings against those caught in its official dragnet. ' But this Is not the first time such a system of spoliation has been per petrated on the Indian. That nest of crooks Infesting Nebraska reserva tions a few years ago, If they did not realize on their criminal operations in as large lumps as the Oklahoma graft ers have done or planned, robbed the Indians blind and kept It up for years. When exposed by The Bee, officials whose duty It was to prosecute such frauds, actually protected the crooks and themselves became a part of the gang and this same thing may trans pire In Oklahoma, but what evidence is at hand and what is still available ought to be sufficient to make possible a thorough readjustment of condi tions. ' It is small wonder that Indians have placed little confidence in representa tives of the government, but now that the president has promised a complete Investigation, Poor Lo may get bis rights and it la to be hoped his plun derer will get his. It has usually re quired hard work and much time to uncover these conspiracies, but it has never been the intention or policy of Washington to impose on the Indian, nor to ignore any of his rights, or fail to protect them when impositions were discovered. Crank Epidemic in New York. The freedom with which menacing letters are being sent to public men In New York, following on the heels of the attempted Wiling of Mayor Gay nor, suggests the possibility of such a thing as an epidemic of assassinations. Three judges, a state senator, the sec retary of state and governor have re cently been warned of their lives by cranks with grievances. The people need not give full credence to all these threats to appreciate the " wisdom of demanding proper safeguards for their public officials. 8ometimes we are too slow to become alarmed as such things. Perhaps If Gallagher had notified Mayor Gaynor by mall that he in tended to shoot falm, our brave skep ticism would have ridiculed the thought ' New York officials could do no bet ter than make a -roundup of all sus picious characters of this sort and take every . reasonable precaution to thwart their, plans. It should not be necessary to wait for one of these anarchists to carry out his threat be fore we wake UP to the fact that he may. After each such deplorable ex perience the public conscience is stirred to a virtuous indignation, but it seems to relapse with as much facil ity as It became aroused and we have not today the definite, fixed policy with reference to the safety of our public men that we should have. We thought after the death of President McKlnley that such' a thing could never be repeated In this country; congress was fairly flooded with bills against assassination and yet uo satis factory way has been found to safe guard executives against exposure to risk of assault . England and Free Trade. It is not surprising that the three democratic members of the senate com mittee on the high cost of living should charge In their report upon the tariff part responsibility, but It is sur prising that these men resort to such flimsy argument They begin with the contention that a protective tariff is not essential to high wages and point to England for proof that the tendency of wages under free trade is upward and has been upward. .They also de clare that the condition of the wage earner in England today is better than in any other country except the United States and that while laborers and tradesmen immigrate to England from other European nations, English work men never emigrate to them. , England went on a free trade basis soma sixty years ago because, desirous of becoming a manufacturing country, it conceived the need of cheap raw material, cheap living and cheap wages to make it a great industrial beehive. But today England has the largest army of unemployed men and women of any great nation and its own states men and economists regard the situa tion to be extremely grave. England Is a great manufacturing country, wages there are not only not as high as they should be, but it is absolutely unable to find employment for the workers which such an economic sys tem has produced. England's own re sources art being tried to the utmost and it is right now appealing to the provinces Canada, Australia, New Zealand to help solve the industrial problem, which must inevitably be traced back largely to free trade poli cies. England has no contiguous ter ritory that furnishes an outlet to this stream of unemployed that has con gested In London and the other large cities, so "back to the farm" la out of the question snd It appears moreover that not many of the idle people are fit ifor farm work. Canada positively re fused landing to two shiploads of English emigrants recently because they were unfamiliar with life and work in the country. England would no doubt be happy today to exchange industrial statuses with the United States, freo trade and all, for it has bought experience at a dear price. The very admission which these three democratic senators make Johnson of Alabama, Clarke of Arkansas and Smith of South Carolina that "England is the most prosper ous nation next to our own," stultifies their own argument and controverts their position. If free trade Is neces sary for the industrial prosperity of a nation, how comes It that a young country like the United States with a protective tariff Is the most prosper ous country In the world? Profit in Texas Politics. The case of O. B. Colquitt, the demo crat Just nominated for governor of Texas, Is evidence enough that while the Lone Star state may be old fash ioned in some things, it Is no back number when it comes to office seek ing the man. Colonel Colquitt shows by his Itemized statement of campaign expenses that he paid $11,778 to ob tain the nomination. As the office of governor of Texas pays $4,000 a year and the term is two years, on the face of returns Governor Colquitt- a nomi nation is equivalent to election there must face a deficit at the end of his term of at least $3,778. Those impertinent enough to harbor such a thought naturally will ask why a man will give away nearly $4,000 over his cost of living to get the office. The answer must be that Colonel Col quitt intends to remain in politics long enough to reap returns on the outlay and use the governorship as a step ping stone. In that event, of course, he may be Justified on the simple basis of finance. Or perhaps he in tends to be elected governor a second time. On that, however, even in Texas today, no man may rely with perfect assurance, for the sands of time are shifting there as elsewhere and Mr. Colquitt, who will go in as the victor over the temperance forces, will be op posed by a prohibition legislature, or a legislature that at least intends to submit to a vote of the people a pro posed prohibition amendment to the state constitution and this will not be conducive to his political permanency. It Is of interest to note that while Governor Colquitt paid $11,778 for bis nomination. Senator Culberson paid only $27 to secure a renomination in Texas. But one would scarcely take these figures aa Indicating the relative rating of the two offices. One shows the possibilities of victory in a sharp contest, the other illustrates the sav ing of no contest " Protection for Candidates: j. While memory of the primary cam paign is still fresh and all the numer ous candidates recall the importunities which they have had to undergo, it may be of interest to cite the pro visions of one Oregon election, law which might be transplanted to Ne braska without raising -much protest. The Oregon corrupt practices act specifies among other things that are unlawful and punishable: No person can lawfully pay out any money for election unless it is his own money and paid in his own name. . .. No person can lawfully promise an other person to appoint him to office, or to help aim secure appointment to office, or employment, either public or private, to Influence him in an elec tion. No officeholder can lawfully pay or contribute to aid in the nomination of any other person, and no person can lawfully solicit contributions from any officeholder. No holder of a public position, other than one that is elective, can lawfully be a delegate to a convention or be a member of a political committee. No person can lawfully "demand, Laoliclt, ask or invite any payment or contribution for any religious, polit leal, charitable or other cause or or ganization supposed to be primarily or principally for the public good from a person who seeks to be nominated to any office." No person can lawfully "demand, solicit or Invite any candidate to sub scribe to the support of any club or or ganization, to buy tickets to any enter tainment or ball or to subscribe for or to pay for space in any program, book, periodical or other publication" ex cept advertising in the regular adver tising mediums. ' No candidate, or any other person for him, can lawfully "give or provide or pay, wholly or in part the expenses of giving or providing any meat or drink or other entertainment or pro vision, clothing, liquors, cigars or to bacco to or for any person for the pur pose of or with intent or hope to in fluence that person or any other per son to give or refrain from giving his vote." If this fence erected to protect office seekers from mistreatment is not air tight and bog high we invite sugges tions as to what should be done to top It off with three rows of barbed wire and a double set of steel spikes.. The reason for the Leaning Tower of Pisa is fully cleared up now, since one authority says It waa designed and built that way; another that it got a little on the bias while being erected and a third affirms that long after its construction an earthquake gave It the slant Nothing like knowing a thing. Returns from the primary election In Nebraska will be slower than usual this year because of the open primary, the confusing ballot and the late clos ing of the polls. Voting under 'the law may continue until 9 o'clock at night, and as there Is a difference In time of one hour between eastern and western portions of the state, the vot ing does not cease In the far counties until 10 o'clock by our time. In Kansas it has just been discov ered on the official canvass that one candidate for supreme judge who had supposed he was beaten was really nominated. It will not be surprising If we witness similar Incidents In con nection with our Nebraska primary this year. ' Nebraska people have the least per centage of illiteracy of any state in the union, but still that is no good reason why they should be afflicted with a pri mary ballot that calls for the talents of a Philadelphia lawyer to vote as in tended without making a mistake. We propose a debate between that Chicago banker who never took a va cation and does not believe In it and President Taft, who is for the sixty days let-up. And we vote to award the prize to the president now before the fight starts. ' : ' Champ Clark denies that be said Great Britain would soon become a republic.

An Old Political Reporter is contributing to th Brooklyn Eagle an interesting aeries oljf reminiscences of political events of na tional Import In the Empire state. His latest contribution deals with the presiden tial contest of 1884. when the vote of New York stale waa so dangerously close as to cause excitement throughout the country and Intense activity among party man agers In the atate. Th writer was a con fidante of Orover Cleveland and Dan La mont, the hitter manager of the campaign In New York, and hi reminiscences cover the Inside of th democratic campaign dur ing that period of doubt and anxiety. He says. In part: On th day after th election in 1S84 Blaine sent from Main hi famous dis patch, "Claim everything." Thereupon th republican commute put forth loud claims of having carried for Blaine all of the doubtful states Conecllcut, Indiana, New Jersey. New York and West Virginia. It even claimed Virginia, which was In no measure of doubt. Th democratic com mittee put forward similar claims, and, as th end showed, with greater Justice. In th developments of the day the dem ocrats received th assurances that four of th doubtful states were safe for Cleve landConnecticut, New ilersey, Indiana and West Virginia. NeW Jfork was gen uinely In doubt and was claimed by both sides, by figures ranging from 6,000 to 10,000, but in their hart of hearts the leaders knew that the result In New York would turn on a few hundreds. Th excitement was intense. On th sec ond day after election It brok out In dem onstrations. The Blain telegram proved to b the last of th aeries of blunders that had marked Mr. Blaine's conduct of his own campaign. Th democratlo rank and file accepted it as th basis of an attempt at a repetition of "the fraud of 1878" and anger possessed that rank and file. Men of large affairs laid aside their business mat ters and gathered at the democratic head quarters, standing by th hour with hun dreds of others, anxiously awaiting any driblet of news that would help to end the suspense, On th day after election, In the late' aft ernoon. Colonel Lamont sent for-the Old Political Reporter to meet him in th ex ecutive chamber in Albany. He took me into an inner room and, handing m several sheets of paper covered with figures, said: "Do mo th favor of going over those figures to sea if you can find any flaw In th calculations or in the reasoning." I turned to th last sheet and read tho last line: "Cleveland's plu. 1,612." I looked up in surprise and apprehension to Lamont H answered th look by say ing: f"lt is not the best I can do; it Is the worst." , "It is dangerously clos," I replied. "Too close for comfort" In due course of time I returned the sheets to Lamont with the remark that while I had found nothing in the arith metic that mad easentlal changes, I ques tioned whether he had not been too liberal in his estimates for Blain. "As a basis for the work that must be done it is better to b under than over," said' Lamont ' i I suggested that he should writ as th last On what would be the result of a change of twnty-flve votes In each county. After he had done so, and, as he handed th papers back to me h said: "You keep those figures. I hav a copy of them. Now," he continued, .talking very seriously and earnestly. "I hav sent in th name of Manning, to each on of our county chairman to send In th names of five reputable lawyers of ability who, on rtalnr, will be willing to stay on th job from now until th canvass is com pleted, studying th figures and watching th count" "You're magnificent Dan," I exclaimed. "You retain 300 lawyers in a bunch." "It must be don, and it's worth It," he replied seriously. - 'I have persuaded Manning to reconvene th state committee In New York tomorrow. There must be an organisation of this legal force mad at once; a strong lawyer. Ilk Stetson, for In stance, must draw a bill of instructions for Its proceedure. ' This' will b expensive and a large sum must b raised. There must b dally proclamation of our confi dence and a reiteration of our determina tion that' w will not permit ourselves to be defrauded.' , Then the eye of th calm, reserved and self-sustained Lamont snapped with an un usual fire, as he said: "We hav won this fight, and by th living God we'll hold It!" v . Th plan was executed aa Lamont had conceived. It was successful. Fraud was mod Impossible under it. Acute law yers sat at each canvassing' board and .Intruded th democratlo representatives In th board as to their rights and Ini tiated the protests that prevented devia tions from the strict Utter of th law. There were ten anxious days of this post campaign. And they were exciting ones. The almost frantic claims of th repub lican and th determined stand of th democrats served equally to send up th thermometer of publio feeling to blood heat There wr demonstrations alt along th line and a notabl on waa against th Western Union, under th belief that th corporation had been used by Jay Gould against Cleveland. It had th effect of driving that flnanotor to take refug on his yacht, th AUlanta.) lying la th Hud son river, and Induced him to send, in ad vance of th settlement . of th issue, a dispatch of congratulation to Cleveland. It was on th tenth day of this after campaign, I think, that I found myself alone with soma work in th room just in the rear of th large executive chamber. It was In this room that th telephone was placed. I was Interrupted toy the ringing of the ball. Answering it I found that the call had com from th Evening Journal editorial rooms. Th purpose was to Inform Governor Cleveland that th New York Tribune had hauled down Its flag and had, at laat, acquiesced in th election of Cleve land to the presidency. Th lest stand had given away and now there waa no oppo sition anywhere. I hastened Into th larger room to giv Cleveland th glad nrw. He was alone, and listened to. my rather excited com munication. HI fao cleared. Then h said: "I am vary glad to hear it. I am more than glad that they yield peaceably." He awung his chair so as to face ma. And on his stern face I saw th whole of th Indomitable spirit that animated th man. - With a fore that was to m almost overwhelming b said: "For In any event I should hav felt It my duty to take th office of th President of th United States on th fourth of next March," . .
