The history Of the prohibition crusade
in all states is an unbroken record OF
treachery to the republican party. Con-
ceiyed in n spirit of fanaticlsm and fos-
tered by mercenaries, it has masquer-
AIDED with friendship on its tongue and
stilettos in It's hands. And in every in
stance it has driven the knife to the hllt
into the back of the republicans who
have given the crusaders the slightest
encouragement.
From Maine to Oregon and from Da
kota to Texas prohibition is the mill
stone on the neck OF republicansm. 1t
has driven from the ranks of the party
thousands Of conservative, liberty loving
citizens who, having fled from oppres-,
sion, allied themselves with the party
of freedom and progress.
How has the party been compensated
for the lossp
Look at Iowa. with its great repubh-
can majorities wiped out of existence.
Look at Kansas, the banner republi-
can state of the union, where the party
is rent in twain, desertions multiplying
daily and the success of the party inn
pcriled. For what? Simply to cater to
noisy faction, who seek to compel
others to think and act as they do.
Even in the Dallotas, where the pro-
hibitionsts secured the laws they
sought, they have rebellcd against the
republicans and in less than six months
after constitutional prohibition went
into effect openly allied themselves with
soreheads, not to enforce the law but to
wreck the republican party.
The slogan of st. John, re-echoed by
the late General Fisk, is 1--WE must
wreck the republican party and build
prohibition on its ruins. This is the
guiding principle of the crusade, and its
truth is confirmed by the records Of
Iowa, Kansas and the Dakotas, and by
the Infamous betrayal of the national
republican ticket in 1891.
The duty of the republicans of Ne
braska in the present crisis is clear
The prosperity of the state and the
preservation of the party demand that
every loyal republican work and vote
against the amendment. They must
battle against the assassins Of the party
and by standing manfully for liberty and
| law and order win back the allegiance

STAND RY TIE COLORS.

Every republican in Nebraska should
stand by his party ticket. In that course
alone lies his safety. An enemy that for
twenty-five years has sought vainly TO
win in fair fight seeks now to win by
fostering discord and distrust in ranks
where harmony is fatal to their designs.
Democrats are endeayoring to set the
republicans in the state against the re-
publicans in Omaha and Douglas county.
They are circulating the report that
there is to be a wholesale desertion by
Omaha republicans from Richards to
Boyd. In this dishonest work they are
assisted by the prohibitionists, who hope
to inhame high license republicans to
such pitch of anger that they will vote
and work for the amendment. By get
ting up this sort of row, demo-
ocrats hope to gain votes for Boyd in the
city and prohibitionists votes for the
amendment in the country.
These reports are false. Douglas
county republicans have shown their
loyalty to Mr.. Richards on every oppor-
tunity during the campaign. They will
do so again on election day. They are
for the republican ticket from top to bot
tom. Elsewhere THE BEE presents an
interview with Mr.. Richards, in which
he gives his friends throughout the
state hearty assurances OF the loyalty of
Omaha republicans. He expects no
treachery here and denounces the re-
ports as democratic campaign ISLANDERS.
He relies upon the Omaha republi-
cans to contribute their full share
to his election.
This statement from the republican
standard bearer should set all rumors of
, discord at rest It should satisfy the
party throughout the state, and it should
make Omaha republicans work with re-
newed zeal for the success of the ticket.
If it has this effect, the election of Mr..
Richards is assured.
Let the democrats and prohibitionists
fail in their effort to promote discord,
and let the republican party continue to
conduct the affairs of II state in which it
has large and honest majority.

AN APPEAL TO SOUTH OMAHA.

The citizens and property owners of
South Omaha have II vital concern in
the outcome of the present prohibitory
of the city's finances is the most potent
reason why nothing should be done by
that city which will in the slightest de-
gree depreciate her property values or
check her material growth. Every
source of revenue must be husbanded
with the greatest care. Under her pres
ent population, the revenue from saloons
amounts to thirty thousand dollars,
and if her growth is not re-
tarded by prohibition, she will
soon reach population of
ten thousand souls, which will increase
her license revenue to ut least fifty
thousand dollars annually. The loss of
this muniticent sum would all but ruin
her schools. In other words, the defeat
of the license system would throw the
burden of maintaining the schools
directly on the taxpayers, practically
doubling the present rate of taxation.
The evils of oppressive taxation would
be intensified by outtawry and free
whisky. With the prohibition law in.
South Omaha, the town would be over
run with saloons and the condition of
affairs would be far worse than it is
in Council Bluffs today.
Public sentiment in South Omaha is
largely opposed TO sumptuary laws, and
to withdraw the operation of the Slo-
cumb law from South Omaha would be
nothing short of crime. With an ad-
ditional levy to maintain her schools,
and with the inevitable depreciation of
property following in the wake OF pro-
hibitory law, South Omaha would invite
a condition Of affairs the outcome of
which would be a disgraceful repudia-

THE last act in II tragedy unsurpassed
In the annals of crime closed with the
execution of Thomas G. w oolfolk at
Perry, Ga, last Wednesday. The crime
for which Voolfolk suffered the extreme
penalty has few parallels in fiendish
brutality and ferocity, Eight members
of his family--father, brothers, sisters
and niece-and an aged lady visitor,
Were mercilessly butchered in their
home ON the night of August @, 1857.
The story of the tragedy shocked the
community Nat the time, but the stout
denials of the murderer coupled with
the vigilance OF the authorities saved
him summary execution. Proof of the
crime was overwhelming, and the mot
I've made plain, yet Voolfolk maintained

THE progress of the west is due to the
fostering care and wise legislation of the
republican party in behalf of W estern in

is an evidence at once of the gratitude
and the patriotism of its people. The

is no sound reason why she should break

KANSAS will have to look to it's lau-
rels, recently remarked the Chicago
Tribune, if Nebraska does not take them
by 1900. In view of the fact that the
population of Kansas decreased ninety
five thousand during the last two years
and Nebraska gained greater number
OF people than that, it is only necessary
to retain prohibition in Kansas and high
license in Nebraska to insure a larger
population for the latter five years

1T APPLIES TO NEBRASKA.

In a very vigorous speech delivered at
Philadelphia, Saturday evening, Secre-
tary Blaine urged the republicans of
Pennsylvania to heal their differences
and stand together for the success of the
party. Speaking of the possibility of
democratic victory as the result of divis-
ions among the republicans he said
What l deplore is popular vote in Penn
sylvania that shall encourage New Jersey In
her democracy, lead the dissenting branches
of the party in New York to close UP and
make their strength felt, that shall cripple
Ohio in her effort to throw off democratic
power in the executive and gerrymandering
in the districts, throw back Delaware in her
republican progress, make Maryland hope
less instead of n hopeful state aud that shall
take from US the power to establish the re-
publican standard in West Virginia.
What Mr.. Blaine said to the Phila-
delphia audience he would doubtless
have said with still greater emphasis in
Nebraska.
Local considerations are not alone to
be thought of in such contest as the
present. Republicans should not forget
the national consequences of democratic
victory in Nebraska. 1t would be folly
as depressing as the result which Mr..
Blaine says he would deplorc in Penn
sylvania. 1t would dishearten the party
as to the conditions in the west, 1t
would be construed as a startling demo-
cratic gain.
For these reasons no republican should
vote directly or indirectly against his
party tomorrow He should stand by it
for what it means to the party at large.

Mr.. Bryan succeeded much better with his
sermon when he occupied the pulpit of one of

dozen left the church for what they consid-
cred desecratIon of the pulpit, while on the
last occasion over fifty indignant working
men left in disgust

accomplishments was what made the shop
men weary.
