WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1894.

Democratic prosperity has reachedTexas, where a big cotton mill cost-- ms

$500,000 was sold for S30,000.

It has been suggested that phi-

losopher Henry George writeanother book descriptive of Cleve-

land's second regime and entitle it'Progress Toward Poverty."

Senator Maxdebsok" has intro-duced a bill to pension Gen. Thayerin an amount not less than 8100 permonth. The General deserves andneeds such a pension, but it is doubt-

ful if the bill passes.

Having been forced to abandonthe sugar refinery scheme, the uniondepot, and the Platte canal scheme,Omaha is now counting on a greatbuilding boom this season. Wehope it may materialize.

The great religious revivals beingheld in several of the strongly dem-

ocratic states augur well for the re-

publican party. When a man be-

comes converted to Christianity hegenerally deserts the democraticparty and becomes a. republican.

The veteran editor of the NewYork Sun, in speaking of the Omahayouth who proposes tn inauguratean epoch ot long distance poultrypedestrianatmg by driving a dozenchickens overland to California,says it is better to be such a ninny"than a populist or a cuckoo."

The tariff has been badly mutilat-ed by the senate committee, and araise on the dutiable articles beenmade. In addition sugar, iron andcoal has been taken off the free listand a small dutv imposed. It is nowsaid that the fate of the bill in thesenate depends on the stand whichthe populist senators will take.

It is believed that two sets of state'and congressional officers will benominated by the divided democracyin Texas, and this may result in theelection of republican congressmenin two or three districts. WhenTexas begins to send republican rep-resentatives to Washington it is notunreasonable to expect an early dis-

solution of the earth.

All of the spring electionsthroughout the country thus far,when; has been any test of political

- strength show great republicancrams. Pennsylvania takes the leadwith a earn of 323,000, and thetotals thus far reported show a trifiemore than 300.000. Cleveland's plurality in 1892 was 379,000 which isalready as good as wiped out.

The republican congressional com-

mittee of this district met atlast evening, but we are not ad- -i ,i i- - ii jTisea as tne action lanen m rearu

to holdinff the convention, it ishoped, however, that the date set willpermit of a lengthy canvass, as tnedistrict is verv larse in area, and ashort campaign does not allow a candidate to visit all sections of thedistrict.

Matt Daugiierty, of Keithand chairman of the republican

cn mission al committee, is considered by raarv 88 a P0?sie candidatefor congress from this district. Mattis well qualified for the position, hisrepublicanism is of the proper stripe,and would prove a very hard-worki- ng

champion of the peoples' inter-ests. However, we have not learnedas to whether Mr. Daugberty wouldconsent to be a candidate.

Uxcle Dick OoLESBYsaid that thebusiness of this country was so greatthat it was all the experienced repub-lican statesmen could do to mauageit, and it would suffer if the inexpe-rienced democrats should take con-

trol. The number of business menwho now agree with TJncle Dick, butdid not two years ago, is enough togive him tne reputation of being agreat and good and true prophet.But Uncle Dick simply knew thedemocratic party better than did thevoters of two yeare ago.

TriE second trial of Daniel Cough-li- n

on the charge of complicity inthe murder of Dr. Cronin came to aclose Thursday by the return of averdict of acquittal. While the evi-

dence was purely circumstantial thepublic, and especially those who hadread the testimony closely, had rea-

son to expect that the jury wouldeither convict or fail to agree; anacquittal was unexpected. Coughlinha escaped the meshes of the law,but in the eyes of a great majorityof the people he stands branded withthe aiarkof Cain.

luCK McColl, a gentleman whomThe Tribune would like very muchto ste nominated as the republicangubernatorial candidate, was inKearney the other day, and in replyto an interrogatory by a Hub repre-reeentati- ve

said "1 am not in it. Ithas become customary in the state

IwKen an incumbent in that office"has. given entire satisfaction tohonor him with a renomiuation.This I think will be done. Crounsehas made an excellent executive andJ think he will succeed himself.Further than this I have nothing tosav." But it does not end there.Governor Crounse will probably notbe a candidate for a atlpasfc Tom Maiors' earnest efforts,which he is at present making forthe nomination would indicate such.If the Governor desires to be a can-

didate for on we believe heshould be given the nomination; butif not, western Nebraska should begiven the candidate, and papularJack McColl should be the man. Itis full time that the western part ofthe state should.demand recognitionat the hands of the leaders in theeastern part of the state.

An influential member of thedemocratic national committee wasasked by a democratic congressmanupon what platform it wonld be bestfor him to run next fall, and thecommitteeman is said to have ans-wered: "That simple platformamong the democrats of your dist-

rict should be simply opposition tothe Cleveland administration. Youneed not be specific as to the details.That broad declaration is enough.I do not know of any other platformupon which a democrat can hope tostand this fall with any possiblechance of success. And it is by nomeans certain that that will dp youany good. The administration isgone. The only point of doubt yetis whether it has carried the demo-cratic party down with it. Person-ally, I very much fear it has."

Not one case has come to light inNebraska where alleged frauds ofrepublican officials have been discov-ered and corrected by their populistsuccessors. A wail of corruption!fraud! turn the rascals out! sweptover the state, and a good many hon-

est, faithful republicans were let outto make room for eager, hungry,howling populists. But when theywere elected there is not a case onrecord where they discovered thecrookedness complained of, or if theydiscovered, it where they corrected it.On the other hand no end of venali-ty, peculation and embezzlementhave been perpetrated by the popu-lists in their brief authority. Countyafter county has been defrauded andmany of them have already repudia-ted the self-styl- ed reformers and re-

turned to their first love. YorkTimes.

Dr. Geo.L. Miller, ex-edit- or ofthe Omaha Herald when it wasan oft-quot- ed paper has been ap-

pointed customs collector for theport of Omaha. The great Groverthrew overboard the applications ofthe other half-doze-n pie petitionersand appointed the genial doctorupon his own motion. The friendsof Dr. Miller wnre urging him forthe vacancy in the interstate com-

merce commission made vacant bvthe death of J. W. McDill. It isfortunate that the president did notmake the mistake of advancing thislife-tim- e apologist for corporate ex-

tortion to'fche position desired forhim by his friends. He appearedto be ever ready to crook the preg-nant hinges of the knee that thriftmight follow fawning. At anyrate he has been dubbed the Nestorof Nebraska democracy by his morezealous friends, whatever that maymean.

In commending the action of theCatholics of Huntington, Ind., inmaking no resistance tc an A. P. A.lecturer a few dsys ago, the InterOceau says: "This is a free country. In it a man has a right to de-

nounce the Catholic form of religion,he also has the right to denounceany Protestant form, yea, he evenhas the right to denounce all formsof religion, aud religion itself. Col.Ingersoll makes a trade of derivingthe inspiration of the Bible and ofdoubting the existence of, a GodYet no Catholic ever arrayed a mobagainst Ingersoll. It seems a strangething that men should be so easywhile God is blasphemed, aud uneasywhen the Pope is ridiculed. If Cath-olicism be founded on Christian lawand be evolved through christianlove, it will endure against all the.shocks of ribaldry and all the blowsof argument. The founder of Chri-stianity bade his too ardent, disciple'Put up thy sword within its sheath.'A religion that cannot tolerate op-

position is lacking of the first ele-

ment of Christianity."

The Tariff Situation.It now looks as if the senate

would pass the Wilson bill, afteramending it to sjch an extent as toplacate the so-call- ed "conservatives"of that body. The evident policyis to let the bill be amended almostindefinitely any way to get itthrough the senate. The freetraders could well afford to let thefew protection democrats of thatbody tinker away at it to suit theirutmost bent, no matter if it wereso radically and generally changedthat its own father would not rec-

ognize it. Such amendment andpassage in the upper house of con-

gress would be iu itself a barrenvictory.

The game now being played issalmon not trout fishing. The dis-

ciple of Izsak Walton who anglesfor the nimble trout must land hisfish as soon as he feels the twitch-ing of his tackle. To dally is tolose. But in kilhug salmon hoursmay elapse between the securehooking of the victim and the finalact. The novice at the sport islikely to find that haste spoils hisfun." A Fabian policy wins. Inkilling protection the free traderswould run no small risk of an ad-

verse vote in the senate if they persisted in ignoring the amendmentsof the sugar, coal and iron men onthe democratic side of the senate.When once passed on. however, thereference of the whole subject to aconference committee will followas a matter of parliamentary neces-sity. That conference committeewill consist of a large preponder-ance of rabid free traders, and willundoubtedly report a bill agreeingfor the most part with the originalhouse bill. Then the real test willcome. The "salmon" will be at theend of his play and must be eitherlauded or lost. No amendmentwill be in order at that stage of theproceedings. The senators fromNew York, including Brioe, NewJersey, Maryland, Louisiana andAlabama will have to take the gaffor break away.

Senator Hill said Saturday to thedelegation of business men whowaited upon him at bis hotel inNew York that he was in favor of

, protection to the extent of the dir-- jference between European and

I American wages. That is the re- -ublican doctrine pure and simple.ut will he have the courage of his

convictions when he feels the part-gaff- ?

TTndicial Notice Not Taken or tho PugilisticEncounter.

Washington, March 13. Such agathering of lawyers as to-da- y filled thecircuit court, where the Pollard-Breck-inrid- ge

trial is? in progress, was seldomseen in Washington. Members of thebar crowded the place to see what sen-

tence Judge Bradley would mete out tcthe visiting Kentnckians who had madea pugilistic assault upon Miss Pollard'sattorneys the night before.

Impressive silence followed the rollcall of jurors, Judge Bradley seemingto wait for explanations from tho law-yers. Then he asked: "I notice thepapers have glaid out a course of proced-ure for me to follow regarding an occur- -

rence just outside the courtroom afteithe court had adjourned yesterday even- -

dences of excitement on the part of de-

fendant's counsel I thought it best to ad-

journ the court, thinking that after anight of thought over the connection inwhich certain words had been used thecounsel might loek upon them differ-ently. Had the troubles referred tctaken place in court it would have beenthe duty of the court to take judicialnotice of it and he would have done scpromptly."

The taking of depositions occupied twohours and proved so prosy that by thetime it was concluded there were but fewspectators left in the court room.

The Carnegie Steel Co. has beenswindled by four conspirators amongthe men until lvceiitly employed bythem. They substituted defVctivearmor for firt-cln- ?s armor, whichthe company intended to furnish tothe govern men t. and in this waycaused the latter to assess a fine ofover 140,000, against the CarnegieCo. The conspirators received twenty-f-
