The democratic organs glcefully de-
clare that the south is safely solid for
their party. Since the result of the
elections in Georgia and Florida clearly
demonstrated that the populist party
had ceased to be factor in those states,
the democratic leaders have dismissed
all anxiety regarding the electoral vote
of the south. Even as to Alabama,
where there is division in the demo-
cratic ranks, they profess to feel not the
least apprehension respecting the result
on tho national ticket. There has been
some talk of what might be accomplished
Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia,
but in all this there is evidently more or
less of what is known as RAINBOW chas-
ing.n The fact is that no reliance can
be placed upon the southern populists,
because their first sympathy is with the
democracy and the influences that are
strongest with them will lead them to act
with the democratic party in the
national election.
An eastern republican contemporary
poiutedly and sensibly says: 'Repub-
licans need not eXpend any money or
thought upon the south. 1t will be
squandered money and barren thought
if ventured. The proper way is to &C
cept solid south us Il forcgone conclu-
sion and buckle to and make solid
north and west. For if the third party
does not resent the treatment of their
candidate in the south it ought not to
be difficult to overcome so pusilanimous
| a party in the west. We cannot be-
| lieve that there can be party of
towards and fools" Obviously the situa-
| tion demands that the republicans shall
| eXpend no effort where there is not some
reasonable chance of its being effective,
and it ought to be plain to the mercst
tyro in politics that nothing is to be ac-
! complshed in the south. The urgen
question is, for the campaign is almost
at an end, will the third party in tho
west resent the treatment of their can
dIdntes in the south? There is but one
effective way to do this, and that is TO
elect the republican candidates. The
success of Mr.. Cleveland would be II
vindicaton of the intolerant spirit OF
the southern democracy. Are the ex
republicans among the populists of the
northwest willing that this shall be
done? The more intelligent among
them must see the absolute hopelessness
OF their cause. Are they prepared L
lift into power. by throwing away theil
votes upoa Weaver, the party whose
dominant clement denied to- their candi
date that freedom of speech which il
the constitutional right of every citizel
in every section of the union? A vot,
for the populist candidate will be vot,
for Cleveland, and neither the demo
cratic candidate nor any leader o.
organ OF the democracy has condemned
the treatment of the third party candi
date in the south. Is it possible tina
there is populist anywhere in tn
north or west, whose preference is no
for democratic success, who can be S,
blind or indifferent to patriotic dut
that he will not vote SO as to rebuke tn
party whose intolerant and brutal treat
ment of the peoples party candidat
was reproach TO the country
Undoubtedly the south is safely soli

VINDICATE THE WEST.

The prophets of calamity are doing
even more harm TO the credit of Colo
RADIO than to that Of Nebraska or Kansas,
for the reason that they are misrepre-
senting the condition of the great min
ing interests as we'll as that of the
agricultural interests of that state.
Those who are jealous of the credit and
reputation of Colorado have good reason
to protest against this ruinous kind of
political campaigning. Nebraska is suf-
fering from the bad name given her by
the popullsts, but it is not easy to de-
press the credit of a state largely de-
voted TO agriculture unless there is at
least an appearance of truth in the

AN ENCOURAGING sign in that great
political battle ground, New York state,
is the large registration reported in New
York city. Tho republicans there have
been working hard to secure this result,
and it is known that they have sue
ceeded well in their efforts to induce
supporters of the republican candidates
to make sure that no votes are lost on
account Of carelessness ard neglect. If
the Same activity is shown by the party
elsewhere the whole republican vote
will be polled, which certainly means
the triumphant election of Harrison and
Reid. Better than the outward display
of campaign enthusiasm is the quiet de-
termination to make every vote count. 1t
now looks ) as if the reliance that is placed
upon the intelligent, convictions of the
people would be amply justified in the
result of the electiopy Attention to the
practical work of registration is of the
highest Importance. g.

damaging statemontssmade. The whole
country knows thapthis state produced
enormous crops last Year and the fame
Of her crops this year,has already gone
abroad to discredit the empty allega-
tions of the calamiSy crowd. a few
weeks ago the poputists had the possi-
bility of early frolt4 TO rely upon, but
now that hope is, gone and the good
crops certainly assured have begun to
undo the damage wrought to the repu-
tatiou OF Nebraska during the summer.
In this respect this State, malinged and
abused as it has been, is better off than
Colorado. The great mining industries
OF the latter are represented as pros
trated by the financial policy now in
force, and il is not easy for the outside
world to learn tho truth. 1t must be
eNaspcrating to those who are jealous
of the good name OF that state, as
indeed everybody ought to be, to know
that it is suffering under this needless
ana foolish detraction.
1t has been demonstrated in this
state. and yet more in Kansas, that the
NcIS cNlSleuCe Ol CalUlnlIy OTRuHlhu-
tion, without regard to the truth of its
statements, is positive and perpetual
injury. Stories of increasing mortgage
burdens and general distress may be re-
futcd, but many a man seeking a home
in the west has hesitated to settle in a
state which he feared would soon be
dominated by cranks. If in spite oi
these manifest drawbacks this state is
gaining steadily in population, which it
very much needs to do, it is plain that
the increase would be much more rapid
If less were said to it's disadvantage. The
same is true of other western states
in which the populists are active. No.
body denies their right to organize as a
political party ii that pleases them, but
their right to misrepresent and dispar-
age the states in which they are operat-
ing in order to make it appear that
there is IA demand for the remedy which
they offer is not TO be conceded for 4
moment In section of the country
largely dependent for its future devel-
| opment upon immigration it is intoler-
! able that so foolish a policy should be
pursued. Let the credit and reputation
| of the west be vindicated.

Gus Lockner has been nominated by the
republicans of Douglas county on their
legislative ticket. We have known Mr..
LocKner for maLy years, and we can say to
our party friends in Omaha that in him
they will have a man who will do his whole
duty in the legislature honestly, con
scientiously and tcarlessly. A successful
business man, he is possessed OF a great
deal more than ordinary intelligence; in
fact he Is knowing, capable and faithful,
and will make wise legislator, not only
caring for the interests of Douglas county,
but also for the state at largo. We hope to
hear of MIR. Lockner's election by big
majority.

Our Foreign Commerce.
Chicago Tribune.


Our foreign commerce shows llattering
condition of things. For the three years
ending June, 1889, during Cleveland's admin
istration our exports amounted TO 81, l54, ,539,
O93. an average of S1lS l19,69S. The value of
our foreign commerce for the three years
ending June, 1892, during Harrison's admin
lstration, was S2, ~, ,645, ,120, an average of
S9242l5, ,O40. This shows an increase in the
last three years over the preceding three of
S6iS, 1906 027, equal to an annual increase Of
S2OG, ,035, ,342. Now take our imports. The
three years ending June 1889, show imports
amounting to 81, l6l ,40S, ,534, an average of
S72O, ,469. .5ll. The imports for the three years
ending June, 1892, amounted to So, 46l ,6l7, $3.50,

IT APPEARS that the efforts OF Kansas
City to cut into the business of South
Omaha have been carried on with re-
doubled energy since the reduction in the

The largely increased first days registra-
tion in the interior of New York shows
lively interest in the presidential struggle
and presages a larger vote than usual. So
far as 1t has partisan significance this in
crease in the rural vote is favorable TO the
republicans, who are greatly in the majority
above Harlem river. But the big registra-
tion in Elmira, Senator Hills city and
stronghold, is pointer in the opposite dlrec-
tion as indicating that the Hill men outside
of New York as well as in that city will be

TIE squabbe over the rival republi-

disgraceful. There Is practically moth
ing for the city committee to 40 in the
present campaign. The county commit
tee will take care of the registration,
the hiring OF carriages, selection of
challengers and all the other work per-
tanning to getting oatthe voters on cleo
tion day. The voting for ward council
men and members of the school board is
a mere incident. 1t does not require
special work beyond the individual work
of the candidates and their personal
friends. Make STUNT disgorge at once
and the committees can readily be har-
monized. If STUNT cannot be brought to
time the squabble had better be dropped
until after election.
