A Chance OF Editors Again.

OF course the Hon. John A. McShane
doesn't write for the Herald, but his
swift, persistent and kaleidoscope
change Of editors indicates that he holds
an effective club over the heads Of those
who do write. This being SO, We won
der what Editor Calhoun will do after
he has been discharged. The Hon.
John A. McShane is running for govern
or of Nebraska. He needs every vote he
can get, and about twenty-five thousand
more. Naturally, the soldier vote, q
large one in this valorous and patriotic
state, belongs in the main to General
Thsyer, McShane's opponent, who was
renowned in war. McShane was too
young to go to battle in the early sixties
and had he gone there is some doubt as
to the side he would have fought upon
therefore the great majority OF Nebras-
ka's veterans have been with Thayer
from the beginning.
And Mr.. Calhoun has settled the re-
mainder. In this mornings Herald, al
luding to the passage by the Grand
Army at Columbus, O., of a resolution
favoring the granting OF q service PEN
sion to the union soldiers of the late war
he says: "Without discussing the mer-
its OF the resolution it is pertinent to
ask, how far is the thing to 60? Shall
the old soldiers be allowed to acquire
the whole earth?"
Whatn you do with Calhoun, John?
You cant afford to father this insult to
the odd soldiers. You cant afford to
lose every soldier vote in Nebraska.
You'll have to discharge Calhoun and
get the next editor to apologize for you.
When We pause and reflect, we're very
sorry for John. We cant imagine where
he'll find Calhoun's successor. There
aren't many newspaper writer's lying
around loose in Nebraska who will SAC
rifiice themselves by writing democratic
editorials, and when you look for those
Who will add the sacrifice OF personality
to that of politics and play the stool
pigeon to the Herald's owner, the num-
Der dwindles to something that looks
like the minus sign in an algebra prob
lem.
We are also sorry for Calhoun. He
has scarcely warmed the chair.1tOma-

Several Delegations Pay Their Respects to
the Republican Noninee.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 19.-Gen. Harri-
sons entire time today was occupied by
visiting delegations, the presence of SO
many old soldiers IN the city holding
their reunions during the continuance of
the state fair adding to his callers. To-
day the veterans of the Seventh Indiana
cavalry called ON him, and to them he
made short speech. In the afternoon
he addressed a delegation from Ir0quois
county, Illiuois, and one from La Porte
county, Indiana, the two assembling to-
gether at the park. The speech on this
occasion was the most important Of the
day. In the course Of his remarks the
general said:
You have not once, I think, in the
campaign, heard any democratic speaker
admit that even low protective tariff
was desirable. Those who, like Mr.. Ran
dali, have in former campaigns been
used to allay the apprehension Of our
working people by talking protection,
have been silenced. On the other hand,
the republican party declares by it's
platform and by its speakers that pro-
tective tariff is WISE and necessary.
There is the issue. Make your own
choice. II you approve by your votes
the doctrine that q protective tariff is
public robbery, you will expect your
representatives to stop this public rob-
berry, and If they are faithful 10 You they
will do it-not per cent of it, but all Of
it. [Applause and cries Of 'thats s0."l
So that I beg you all to recollect that
you will vote this fall for or against the
principle of protection. You are invited
to feast Of happiness. You are prom
ised foreign made goods at very low
prices, and domestic competing goods, If
any are made, at the same low rates.
But do not forget that the spectre of
lower wages will also attend the feast.
Applause, and cries of that's so." In
evitable, as certain az the night follows
the day, the adoption Of this policy
means lower wages. Choose, then, but
do not forget that this cheapening pro-
cess may be pushed 60 far as to involve
the cheapening of human life and the
loss of human happiness. [Applause.I
Referring to the surplus he said the
did not know what to do with
it and therefore deposited it in certain
national banks. The government gets
no interest on it, but it is loaned out to
citizens at interest. II this surplus be
used to purchase bonds with, it would
restore it to the channels Of trade.
Continuing, he said: 1T is not whether
we will merely raise money to buy our
bonds at q premium; no one would
advise that, but will We 90 use q surplus
that We have on hand and cannot law
fully pay out in any other way? Do our
friends propose to give the
banks the free use Of it till our bonds |
mature, or do they propose to reduce |
our annual income below our annual ex- |
penditures by q revision Of the tariff |
until this surplus is used, and then re-
rise the tariff again to restore the equi-
librium?" Great spplause.l
