TIE OMAHA MN.

Proofs are being asked for by the Sun
to establish the fact that John S. Morri-
son of Omaha, who is now acting as a
Laramie county commissioner, is not a
bona ide resident Of Cheyenne. Moth
ing could more completely characterize
the brazen ~effrontery OF the machine Re-
publicans than the asking of such
a question. Mr.. Morrison knows, every
machine Republican knows and every
citizen of Laramie county knows that
John Morrison is not and for five months
has not been anv more a citizen of Wy
oming than is a citizen of Sagauehe.
Puyallup, or any other foreign tow who
has never set foot within the boundaries
OF Wyoming.
His removal from here FIVE months
ago; his selling out his business and
household goods; his return without his
family who are still! residents Of Omaha;
his failure to SIT on the board of equaliza-
ton. all demonstrate beyond peradven-
ture that his residence is in Omaha &nd
not Cheyenne. However. in order to
knock the last prop from under the
claims OF the machine Republicans we
append the accompanying letter and aft
davit. The letter is from the Omaha
correspondent of THE LEADER and the
affidavit was secured and forwarded by
the same gentleman:
OMAHA, Neb., July l7.-John Morri-
son is housekeeping at No. 1927 Vinton
street, where his family now is. He came
to Omaha early last February and be-
came a member of the firm of Collins &
Morrison, dealers in harness. guns, etc,
at No. 1916 Douglas street. He was
living in the city when the last census was
taken and his name was given to the
enumerator for his district by Mrs. Nor
rison as a resident Of Omaha.
The affidavit is as follows:

orator for the fourteenth district in the
city of Omaha, for the census of 1890,

4 A OPINION.

The Salt Lake Tribune is a representa-
tive Republican newspaper. Further
more it has always admired the Wyoming
Republican oligarchy and taken frequent
occasions to pat its central figures on the
backs. 10 the course OF an editorial re-
view of the situation in Idaho and Wyo-
ming it speaks thus significantly in its
issue of Friday, July Is:
We believe Idaho will go Republican
because we believe there is n sentiment
among a great many Democrats up there
that two or three Republicans in particu-
lar ought to be rewarded for their services
in securing statehood for their Territory.
Then, we believe further that Idaho has
a msjority of Republican voters. In
Wyoming parties are so closely divided
that a few votes will decide the election.
We do not think that the Republicans
can get those few votes. We believe the
Democrats can.

government shall fall into the hands of
political tricksters, ambitious ~demagogues
aud unprincipled and selfish politicians.
then we had much better have remained a
territory. During the more than thirty
years hat We have been west of the Mis-
souri, river, and seen territory alter terri
tory admitted TO statehood and the states
controlled by boodlers and tricksters We
have had this lesson impressed upon our
minds.
And first. it is of the greatest impor-
lance that We select the very best men
in our state to compose the first l~egisla-
ture. Everything IN our future de-
ponds upon this. The first legislature has
a yerS important work to do, a very diff
cult task to shape the future destiny Of THE
state, and will be subject to great trials
and temptations.
There will be two United States sena-
tors to elect, and ambitious aspirants will
come forward with their promises and
their Doodle"
1t has been our custom in the past to
select anybody who would take the place
Of legislators. There was neither honor nor
profit in the position and nobody wanted
it and few would have it We can't af-
ford to do this now. Anybody will do
foi congressman, senators.or governor, they
can't do much hurt IN those positions, but
if statehood is to prove a blessing instead
of a curse, we must have a wise and hon
est legislature. especially for the first one.
We urge upon the press OF the territory
that it unite to impress this fact upon the

KEEP 1T UP

There are times when the human system
gets into such a disorganized condition
that nothing short of a severe shock or
the administration of drastic medicines
will restore its vitality or give to it the up-
ward rebound which leads. to health.
There are times when a political organiza-
ton. through the Indifference Of its own
membership, may be in a way to lose the
fruits of a sweeping victory which a little
eIertion would place within its grasp.
The Democratic party Of Laramie county
was slowly drifting into hat condition of
Indifference SO fatal to political success,
when TIE LEADERS, note of warning
was sounded. The good effect is already
apparent. There has been a reawakeniDg
along the whole line. The party sppre-
GATES the dangers that confront it and
the necessity that exists for meeting and
overcoming them. A Democratic club
has already been organized here with a
membership of 1855 and the boys are bob
bling up s~erenely from all quarters of the
compass. A spirit of alertness is begin
ming to prevail that is peculiarly crafty
ing and augurs well for the success of the
contest toward which we are now narrow
ing down.
1t should not be forgotten by each in
diyidual Democrat that he or she has a
duty to perform in the coming campaign.
1t NAV be that the result will depend upon
a very few votes-therefore it is impor-
tant to secure every vote. The start that
has been made is an encouraging one but
there should be no resting on the oars IN
til September II next. The political
complexion Of the state at the first cleo
ton may continue for years thereafter. 1t
is certain hat it the Republican machine
once gets its grip on the state government
they will hold it until paralysis ensues.
The people are with the Democrats in
the fight. Strong protests are being
everywhere entered against the one man
power and against all political wolves in
sheep clothing. A little exertion will get
them on the run and the people will join
In the hue aud cry. Victory will then be
ours. Let the good work go bravely on.

ARE THERE TWO BILLS?
Statement of st. Joe Travelling
Man Regarding Alliance Stores.

Statement of a St. Joe Travelling
Man Regarding Alliance Stores.
A st. Joe commercial traveller at the
Pacific this morning made in the pres
ence of a REFLECTOR representative a
remarkable statement regarding the
method employed by the wholesale
houses in dealing with alliance stores.
Conversation among a group present
having turned to the profits made he
remarked, "All merchants mark goods
at least 10 per cent. above the cost price
to them"
"But," said a farmers alliance man,
"the alliance stores have less expenses
and they only mark up 2 per cent, so
we make s per cent. by buying of
them"
"I'll tell you how that is" said the
drummer, ''our house and all other
wholesale houses issue two bills of
goods sold alliance stores. One is ten
per cent. off from selling price and one
2 per cent. The dealer pays the first
and shows the latter to his customers.
Hence while he pretends to make 2
per cent, he actually makes at least 10.
And this is right for no merchant
can succeed on per cent. margin"
Whether the drummer told the truth
or not his statement is worth consider
ing, for the fact that the alliance store
here sells goods no cheaper than the
local merchants lin many cases not so
cheap makes it plausible. Goods can
not be handled satisfactorily on per
cent. margin and pretensiOns to do so
are based on some trick of the trade.

intelligence, of the purest purpose, the
owner of property, the mother of chill
dren, devoted to her family and to all
her duties, and for that reason profound
~ interested in public affairs. And
when this woman says to me: You are
one of the governing class. Your Gov

of expressed consent of all, as the best
security of all. have as much stake in
it as you, perhaps more than you, be-
cause l am a parent, and wish, more
than many of my neighbors, to express
my opinion and assert my influence by a
ballot. l am a better judge than you or
any man can be of my own responsible
tiles and powers. l am willing to bear
my equal share of every burden of the
Government, in such manner as we shall
all equally decide to be best. By what
right, then, except that of mere force,
do you deny me a voice in the laws
which l am forced to obey?' What
shall I say? What can say? Shall 1
tell her she is owned" by some living
man, or is some dead mans 'relict," as
the old phrase was? Shall l tell her
that she ought to be ashamed of herself
for wishing to be unsexed; that God has
given her the nursery, the ballroom,
the opera; and that, if these fail, He has
graciously provided the kitchen, the
wash-tub and the needle? Or shall 1
tell her that she is a lutte, moonbeam,
rosebud and touch my guitar and
weave flowers in her hair?
We can be patient Our fathers won
their independence of England by the
logic of English ideas. We will persuade
America by the elOquence of American
principles. In one of the fierce Western
battles among the mountains, General
Thomas was watching q body of his
troops painfully pushing their way up
a steep hill against a whitening fire.
Victory seemed impossible, and the Cen
eral-even he, Il rock of valOr and of pa
triotism-exclaimed, They can't do it,
They'll never reach the top" His chief
of staff, watching the struggle with
equal earnestness, placed his hand on
his commanders arm, and said, softly:
Thine, time, General: give them time;"
and presently the moist eyes of the
brave leader saw his soldiers victorious
upon the summit. They were Ameri-
can soldiers-sO are we. They were
fighting an American battle-so are we.
They were climbing a precipice-so are
we. The great heart of their General
gave them time, and they conquered.
The great heart of our country will give
us time, and we shall triumph.
