DISASTER follows disaster with mourn
full regularity in China. Whole pro-
vinces have again been inundated by
the Yellow river, and fully ten million
people are objects of public charity. 1t
is impossible for bankrupt govern
ment to provide sustenance for a tenth
of this number, and starvation with it's
train of evils will follow in the wake of
tho flood. The loss of human life and
property is simply appalling and ap-
peals TO the generosity of mankind.

Corporate Power Again. Triumphant

NcbrdStd Alliance.
At the Second district congressional con-
vention Mr.. Laws was, after brief strug-
gle. pomiaated for congress.
We record this fact with feelings of pro-
found sorrow. No excited or feverish de-
clamation-no mere denuncation of the ag-
gressions Of railroad corporatio ns-can adc-
quately express those feelings. Nor does
the question of Mr.. Laws personal character
have much to do with the matter. He may
be courteous gentleman, fully mindful of
his obligations as man towards his fellow
men, and still that would make no difference
The pregnant, prominent fact stands out in
all its nakedness, that corporation, an arti-
fetal creation of the law, with an undying
existence, with no soul and no patriotism,
and with greed for gold and power unlim-
tied by no known law of human action, steps
into the political arena with the people who
created it, and within a week dictates to
them who shall wear the judicial ermlne In
their highest court, and who shall sit in the
highest place among their makers of laws.
The people of the Second district have never
yet been represented in congress. And
under the present order of things it does not
seem that they ever will be. And whatever
else Mr.. Laws may do--whatever aid he
may tAbtuu W SOlulcr eltIllcuU, VI 10
this individual or that, in the way of special
relief or special iaw--it is undoubtedly true
that his best efforts will be given to main
tanning the present order of things as they
are. This will be true all along the line.
This will embrace the present order in
finance as well as the present order in rail-
road domination, for these two powers are in
full sympathy with each other. Each of
them is keeping the masses in subordination
| to the classes. Each of them is wringing
| from the farmers and laboring men the last
dollar that can be extorted without killing
production. Mr. Laws is the creature of one
| of these powers, and he would be less than
human if he did not stay by and serve his
creator.
With the hungry wolf licking his bloody
| chops before almost every door-with chattel
| mortgage sales of almost daily occurrance in
| all our principal towns-with the best bushel
| of potatoes, the best calf and the best colt
| laid daily on the altar of the usurer's claims
these powers of money. these creatures of
| the people, these Unsuitable corporations,
| step into our conventions and seize the sacred
| ermlne and the law-giver's power solely in
| order to stife future legislation, and hold
| their grip upon the purses OF the people.
People, "what are you going to do about
| itf' "Watchman, what of the morrow?"

lr is refined cruelty TO PROFOUND inn

No Show Against the Railroads.
Trei, ViIsyls

We venture the assertion that no man in
the congressional contest takes his defeat so
good .naturedly as does George II. Hastings.
He made square, manly fight and has no
occasion to regret the outcome. He entered
the list with great odds against him. The
B. & NJ influence was the great factor in the
fight With Alex Campbell, Attorney Nor
Ian aud Roadmaster Highland holding the
western part of the district solid for Laws,
and the eastern end run by Marquette, Hall
and DeWeose. with Frank Hall making
headquarters in Norya's camp, 1t was evil

Thaycr's Opnortunity.

NtOTUSHU JtTU NtWS.
G. L. Laws has been nominated to succeed
Laird in the Second congressional district.
Here again the hand of railroads and monop-
oily is to be discerned. Thayer is now in
pretty good position to feather his nest for a
third term by appointing a successor to
Laws as secretary of state, making three
important appointments in his hands-that
of Judge Norval, of Seward, aud Judge
Croft of Omaha.

Weary of the railroad YOKE.

The nomination of Secretary Laws for
congress in the Second district is another
imposition upon the people. He IS another
tool of the b. g. M. railroad and should be
defeated. This act, together with the dis
graceful defeat of Judge Reese by the cor
poration influence, is too much and a throw
ing off is necessary. The people sho uld sec
that If the republican party will not keep
clear of railroad dictation it should be de-
feated. The Quill urges all of its readers
who live in the Second district to vote for
Casper for congress.

Rebuke the Is, Il NJ.

The struggle in the republican party for a
successor to Laird is over, and G. L. Laws,
secretary of state, CAPTURED the nomination
OF course tho Second congressional district
is republican and his election is assured, but
we surmise that some of the people will ad-
minister a just rebuke to the b. Ss NJ, who
dictated his nomination. Casper will have
n larger following now than if the conven-
tion mad nominated Harlan.

THE ti-prohibitionists of North Da-
kota have raised an important point,
which the courts will be called upon to
settle. The prohibition amendment
did not receive majority of all votes
cast on election day, but n majority OF
all votes cast on it as separate propo-
sition. In Nebraska and other states q
majority of all votes cast is necessary,
and ii is not likely that the courts will
make distinction in the case OF North
Dakota.

THE malevolent spirit of English to-
ryism is vividly shown in Balfour's
latest speech. That man of his cali
bre is permitted to insult and decry the
record of the liberals aud pour abuse on
Gladstone, the latchet of whose shoes
he is unworthy to unloose, is credit TO
the progressive British democracy.
The venom of Balfour displays the
fatal force of the recent home rule VIC
tories, aud sounds the death struggles OF
bayonet aud battering ram rule.

The majority in Nebraska were in favor of
returning Judge Reese and had 80 suf-

been predicted, Judge Reese was defeated by
the railroads. For several years he has been
one of the barriers between the people and
the greed of railroad corporations. No state
official was honored and respected more than
he and expressions of regret come from the
people at the manner of his defeat.
