"New York is still there and bigger than
ever" he replied 1.-THE republicans will
come to Spuyten Duyvil creek with 10000
majority. Politics in New York amounts to
an industrial revolution. The laboring peo
pie see in Mr. Clevelands propositions the
destruction of wages and the manufacturers
are alarmed at the message of the president
and consider it indicative of free trade. |

morrow l have no question, except as TO tho
size of the republican majority. There is re-
ally no fight between Mr.. Cleveland and MIR.

Mr. Hill the issues are different from those
between Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Harrison
Miller is making his fight on high license
and very bold one, too. He will be elected,

case he should have kept silent, or he
made deliberate misstatement. 1t
was notorious more than three months
ago that Mr.. Havemeyer, the head
OF the sugar trust, had been in personal
communication with members of the
ways aud means committee and the fact
was widely commented on when the
amendment Of the sugar duties was
made. But the means OF convicting
Mr.. Mills are not confined to newspaper
statements. They are OF official record,
and consist of acknowledgements made
by member OF the ways and means
committee, Mr.. Breckenridge of Ar
kansas, on the floor of the house. When
a member from Maryland charged that
the ways and means committee had
given a hearing to the sugar trust
while denying the same privilege to
many important American indus
tries, Mr.. Breckenridge at first
met the charge evasiyely, but
was finally forced to admit
that the trust president and attorney
had had u conference with himself and
other members of the ways and means
committee in the room of the commit
tee, but he sought to weaken the effect
of the admission by saying that it was
was only an ''informal talk" New err
theless, it accomplished its object OF
changing the sugar duty agreeably to
the wishes of Mr.. Havemeyer.
Mr.. Mills was present in the house
| when the Maryland member made the
| charge, and the Arkansas member, in
effect, admitted it to be correct, so that
he cannot plead ignorance in defense of
| his denial. 1t is clear case of pre-
varication, and as such puts Mr..
| Mills in a very unenviable situa-
tion before the country. The change
which Havemeyer was instrumental in
securing in the sugar schedule would
be worth to the trust six million dollars
year. The democratic party has pro-
fesscd great hostility to the trusts, but
! in all the long sessions of congress its
| representatives have taken not one
| practical step against these combina-
| tions. A score or more of antitrust bills
have been introduced in the house only
| to be buried in committee. Not only
this, but the leaders of the party in the
house are clearly convicted OF having
favored the trust that is now exacting
more tribute from the people
than any other one of them,
and which, in order to continue
this exaction has recently closed up
several refineries and thrown upwards
of thirteen hundred people out of en-
ployment. Is it not an insult to the in
telllgence of the country for the demo-
cratic party to prate about its hostility
| to trusts?

KoTA'S GREAT WRONG.

The denial OF justice TO Dakota by the
democrats is national disgrace. Here
is community occupying a vast area
OF the best wheat land in the country,
whose commercial Importance and whose
numbers are Of the most imposing char
acter, and yet il cannot become state.
It's population, according to the latest
estimate, is GAO, 1913. There should be n
fellow feeling among all the states OF the
northwest, from Wisconsin TO Oregon.
and every voter should, in the interests
of Dakota, give his ballot TO the repub
lican candidates. Never before has sec
tionalism shown so shameful a deter
mination to be njust. The south com-
plains bitterly of the waving of the
bloody shirt, though it cannot be denied
that some OF that blood is very recent.
has been given solidly against the ad-
mission Of Dakota as IA state because it
would increase the number of northern
states? No possible reason can be given
why Dakota should not receive
the dignity of statehood, except
the adverse feeling OF the south.
But that feeling will not prevent the
growth Of Dakota. 1t must increase in
common with Nebraska and other com
munities Of the northwest, because it is
a true wheat country, and has immense
mineral resources. These two elements
combined cannot fail to promote its
growth in an eminent degree. In an.
other ten years its population will be q
million and half. Should the demo
cracy retain the national control the
prcjudices which now prevent the recep-
tion of Dakota into the union will o
course be equally powerful, and the
| anomaly will be presented OF most i'm
portant section remaining under terri
torial government, when in wealth
commerce, population and the educa-
tion OF its citizens it will surpass every
southern state. Republican ballots can
end this state of things and do justice

OUR CHESTS,

Our visitors from Superior and south
ern Nebraska came in full force as was
hoped and were received with the COR
diality which they had right to expect
and which it is always Omaha's pleas
ure to extend to its guests. Both hosts
and guests recognized that the opening
of new trade territory and a new mar
ket is an event of mutual benefit. They
were, therefore prepared to take in the
situation thoroughly and to examine the
grounds upon which each expects to de-
rive present and future advantage.
State pride has part in trade in the
west as we'll rs in the south. Other
things being equal our wholesalers pre-
fer to compete for their immediate
trade territory among neighbors
rather than for business at distance.
The push, the enterprise, the honesty
Of Nebraska merchants, stimulated us it
is by developing and rich country,
makes them desirable customers. And
the growth of Omaha's wholesale trade,
the rapid strides which it is daily max
ing, shows that our enterprlsing mer-
chants are able to meet the business
men of other and greater cities in the
struggle for trade at home. Now that
another and nearer line of railroad is
opened to Nuckolls county, it is to be
hoped that transportation rates will be
made by which our WHOLESALERS can COM

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET

THE REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET
The republicans of Douglas county
are burdened with "a local ticket which
sadly dsappoints their expectations.
With the known disabilities under
which they enter the county campaign,
the demand of the hour was for men of
first-class ability and uuassailable char
acter.
The ticket is mistit; 1T is weak
where it should have been strong, and
the party enters the fight handicapped
with Isaac S. Hascall at the head and
Morris Morrison at the tail.
Colonel Savage has fair qualifications
for the senate, but his past Legislative
record will need explaining.
John Erck has no experience what
ever in public life and while he is a
good citizen we doubt his fitness for a
seat IN the upper house of legislature.
Three or four of the nine candidates
for the house are men of fair ability and
good repute. Mr.. Andreen is an excel
lent man for the county commissioner
ship.
Mr.. Gurley, the candidate for county
attorney, has more than average ability
as a lawyer, but is very vulnerable as a
Legislative lobbyist.
THE BEE regrets sincerely its inabil-
to give the entire republican county
ticket its unqualified support.

to work out their mischcvious ends and in
dulge to the full their malicious souls in de-
struction. At times like the present the
malicious mischief is done by loafers and
rowdies who have no real sympathy with the
strikers, nor with anything human, and only
see an opportunity to work ont their mere
animal propensity for destruction. 1t is a
phase of strikes often noticed before, and is
one of the sure evils attendant upon them.

THE Argentine Republic, from latest
advices, has caught the speculative
fever. Under the stimulus of large
shipments of gold from Europe, the pro-
ceeds of loans, the government has in
augurated a large amount of public
works and internal improvements. But
aside from this artificial prosperity, the
country has legitimate reasons for busi-
ness activity. Its crops and its cattle are

country large export trade. The

MORE URGENT THAN EYER.

With the opening OF the new bridge
connecting Omaha and Council Bluffs,
will not the necessity of a public mar
ket in this city become more urgent
than ever? The increased facility
which the bridge will afford to Iowa
kitchen gardeners to bring their pro-
ducts to this market may be expected to
add largely to the number of truck
peddlers, and while this will doubtless
have its advantage in reducing the
price of such commodities it must also
increase what is already regarded by a
great many of our citizens as some-
thing of nuisance. Street ped
ding should be restricted rather
than encouraged, and if a pub
lie market were provided that OF it's
self would have the effect of reducing it
to minimum. 1t will of course not be
practicable to erect public market
house this year, but a central location
might be designated as a market place.
II this were done it would fairly test the
question whether the people desire a
public market here, ana upon this test
