Joe Howard, the well-lnOwn corre-
spondent. in his last letter, says, under
the heading of ''Nebraskas Interesting
Situation:"
Right here, by the way, let me tell
you an interesting story, showing how
marvclously uncertain white men are.
The senatorial situation in Nebraska
is very interesting, and Mr.. Thurston,
of that great state. feels that his hand
is laid upon the hither verge of success;
Estee was the choice of twO-thirds of
the national committee for temporary
chairman. ThurstOn, approaching the
gravity of his own situation, ana rightly
thinking that the prominence of tenn
p0rary chairman of the great national
convention would be of service
to him in the senatorial campaign,
begged of Elkins and Jones that the
Blaine men of the committee would
stand by him. Those wary old cam
paigners wanted to know, don't you
know, what he would be apt TO say. what
line of thought he would probably fol-
low in his opening address if he were
made chairman. whereupOn he outlined
to them his speech. 1t seemed all
right, ana when it was found that the
committee stood Is to 10, the chairman,
MI. JDllIos vi lblHbli 1tAob lIlo taINiNA-
ing vote for Mr.. Thurston. Imagine
their surprise, therefore, when, under
n very thin veil of taify, Thurston gave
the Blaine men q dose of wTmwood
and gall that was much more CALLING
than comforting.
The sentence he made use Of, indicat-
ing that it would be a political crime
to disobcy the orders Of MIR. Blaine by
forcing upon him IA nom ination after he
had expressly forbidden it, bids fair to
become as historic as the three RS of
Brother Burchard in the last campaign.
More indignant men never lived than
Elkins, Estee and the host of l}laineites
when they heard it. and the bittcre5t Of
words, meaning much. too, in view of
Thurston's hopes for the future, were
delivered, red-hot. at him last night,
and the way he roasted lower during
the proceedings of the convention this
morning, mixing up his sentences in the
most extraordinary manner, until the
house fairly laughed at him, is a good
illustration of the fate certain to attend
a man who attempts to be smarter than
his fellows.

ing crowds by the political "stumpers.
Gross jokes and indecent ribaldry were
largely substituted for argument, COR
rupting and poisoning the popular
mind. 1t would be lmpossi-
bic to overestimate the evil
consequences to public morals
and the deteriorating effect upon the
common appreciation of deccncy which
were wrought by the vulgar scandals
and the personal abuse of the last
national campaign.
Mr.. Lincoln is entirely right in say
ing that the national honor is involved
in this matter. We invite and deserve
the contempt Of the world when we
recklessly besmirch the personal char
acter Of mon selected as the leaders of
two great parties, one of whom, by the
votes of an intelligent and free people,
must occupy the highest Office on earth.
Such a course inevitably, in the eyes of
other nations, casts stigma on the peo-
pie themselves. We cannot look for the
respect of intelligent Europeans when
we elect TO the executive Office of
the nation o man whom we have our
selves branded as corrupt and inn
moral, and it is no excuse or palliatiou
to say that all means and methods are
fair in politics. The public record of a
candidate is a proper matter of discus
siop, what he has done or omitted to do
in an official capacity may rightfully be
considered, the question of his ability
and qualifications is pertinent for dis
cussion. But there is never any neces-
sity for going beyond this, at least to
the extent of finding some cause for per-
sonal scandal.
The campaign at hand will furnish
sufficient to talk about and to think
upon to keep the tongues of the stump
ers and the minds of the people fully oc-
cupied during its progress without the
aid of personal abuse from either side.
There are great and vital principles to
be discussed the popular interest in
which will not be exhausted in four
months. Let these be carefully, earn
estly and thoroughly debated, eXclud-
ing all baser matter, and the campaign
of 1888 may become memorable as the
beginning of the permanent elimina-
tion of personal abuse from national
political contests.

The presumption of the democratic
party in claiming all the credit of re-
storing unearned land grants to the
public domain is vigorously set forth in
the platform adopted at Chicago. 1t is
there Justly claimed that the policy of
restoring these lands was begun under
the last republican administration, and
furthermore that the democratic party
was incapable of doing anything in this
matter without the acquiescence and as
sistance of republicans. Moreover, it
is under the conditions imposed by re-
publican legislation that it is now posi-
BILE to effect restoration of unearned
lands. A very simple analysis of this
matter will show the falsity OF the dem
ocratic claim to all the credit in restor-
ing lands to the public domain.
1t was not until two years of the pres
ent administration had expired that
there was any serious disposition mani
fcsted to restore for settlement the uu
earned lands granted to railroads. The
former commissioner of the general
land office worked laboriously to bring
the administration to this policy, in
curing thereby the implacable hostility
of the corporations, and when finally he
was successful in getting executive at
tenlion to the matter, and the president
announced it to be the intention of the
administration TO restore lands to set
tlement so far as it was within the exec
utive authority to do SO, Sparks be-
came an object of tireless pur-
suit by the corporations until he
was driven from office. In this
work Lamar was willing instrument
of the corporations, and the country
we'll knows how he was rewarded.
The republican platform charges that
the appropriations made for carrying
out laws securing to settlers title to
their homesteads have been used to har-
rass innocent settlers with spies and
prosecutions. under the false pretense
of exposing frauds and vindicating the
law. There is at hand some valuable
democratic testimony sustaining this
statement. In the house Of representa-
tives a few days ago, when the sundry
civil appropriation bill was being con-
sluefBu INIT. MtollbuG IlONeu JluJ Ine
proposed appropriation of one hundred
thousand dollars for protecting the pub
lie lands be reduced TO fifty thousand. In
addressing tho house in support of his
motion Mr.. McShane said that he knew
of his personal knowledge OF eXpendi-
lures from the special agents fund for
the procurement by perjury Of false af-
fidavits which were used in the perse-
cution of honest settlers, and intimated
that more money was used in persecut-
ing good-intentioned people than in the
prosecution of frauds.
The democratic party will hardly be
be able TO make much capital out of its
boastful claim to superior merit in re-
storing unearned lands and guarding
the interests of settlers, particularly in
view of the fact that the mon most So
licitous and efficient in promoting this
policy were sacrificed to the hostility of
the corporations.

Yesterday was an eventful day at Chi
cago, yet it closed without relieving the
situation Of the uncertainty that pre-
vailed when the convention assembled.
The three ballots taken disappointed
the friends of some of the candidates,
and showed the worthlessness of the
most careful estimates that had been
made of the standing of candidates
The expectation that Sherman would
largely lead was verified by the ballot
ing, but the highest vote he received
was less than his more sanguine sup
porters had confidently predicted for
him.whilc Gresham's vote W as not more
than onc-half of what had been claimed
for him. Several other candidates
received fewer votes than had
been promised by supporters who fanc-
led they had correctly ascertaincd the
opening strength of their favorite.
The event of yesterday upon which
the republican party is most.heartily to
be congratulated was the withdrawal of
Dopew. IL removed from the conven-
ton danger, the disappearance of
w
whole party, or at least all of it outside
of New York. Mr.. Depcw received on
one ballot a few votes in addition to
those of New York, but he must have
clearly seen that the great majority of
the representatives of the party did not
want him and that he could only suffer
further humiliation by remaining in
the race.
A nomination will doubtless be made
to-day but aswe have already said the un-
certainty of the situation is rs great
now as at any time. A great deal will
depend upon the course of the New
York delegation, and the report is that
the majority of it will go to Harrison.
This would make the Indiana candidate
decidedly formidable. At present, how
ever, one mans surmise is as good as
another's, and the only trustworthy
thing that can be said is that of the can
didates now most prominent before the
convention the party will heartily en-
dorse the nomination of either.

Trusts.

OMAHA, Juno 22.-To the Editor of
THE BEE: In the presence of all this
discussion about the evil results of
trusts, | would call to your mind one
possible remedy. How would it do to
repeal all laws permitting the forma-
tion of corporations, except for public
purposes? Men will go into a private
corporation, with limited liabilities
and special privileges, but they will be
more guarded when they must assume
the responsibilities of partners. Per-
haps it would be practicable to enact
laws whereby the powers to
act in a corporate capacity would
be taken away from persons
who design the formation of
trusts; if so, what would make more
easy the consummation of the idea above
suggested. In Texas the question of
prohibiting all private corporations was
under serious consideration, even be-
fore the evil results of trusts became
known.
If you think this matter worthy of
consideration l Will be glad at some
future time to elaborate and submit
plan which has occurred to me for car
rying it out. M. II. REDFIELD.

sentiment which should be acquiesced

carefully regarded by tho newspapers of

Lincoln said: For the sake Of decency

proaching contest will be at least a clean
one, and that the element of personal
abuse will permanently be eliminated. p"
1t is only necessary to recall the vulgar
scandals and Indecent calumny of the
last campaign TO find a Justification for
the hope that there will not be a repeti-
tion Of il this year. There were bitter
campaigns before that OF four years
ago, contests in which personal abuse
was prominent in the arruignment of
candidates, but never one in which the
country was so completely scandalized,
and the minds OF men, old and young
so much diverted from the considera-
tion of the political issues involved in
the campaign to the contemplation OF

year, but Notwithstanding, her death was as

tacks of neuralgia, The way in which her
youthful bloom remained with her was a
subject of remark among her old friends and
