WHAT ID rs m MEAN

The republican state committee has a
right to print a campaign G in
Omaha or any other place. Nobody
will question the right of the committee
to circulate any campaign literature
which its members may imagine or be-
lieve will strengthen the state ticket or
any Of the candidates on the ticket, state
or local. 1t is purely a matter of con-
lecture whether the committee is maxi
ing votes for Judge Harrison in Omaha
and Douglas county by importing tho
man who runs a railroad job Office and
organ at Fremont to tell Omaha people
that it is their duty and their interest
to elect man to the supreme bench
who owes his nomination to the railroad
managers. the fire insurance lobby and
the Lincoln boodlers.
1t is u piece of impertinence, however,
for the republican state central commit
tee to use its campaign sheet for advo-
eating the million and q half bond
proposition which is begotten by Has
call and Wilev and fathered by DR..
Miller. What business has the state
central committee to meddle with any
local question that is in no way, shape or
manner a party issue? Why should
outsiders, who don't pay a dollar of tax
in Omaha and never expect to, intrude
their advice to our citizens and
recommend that they mortgage their
homes for a million and q half
for q job that is being engineered
through under false %pretenses. What
can we infer from the use of the
Slaughter campaign sheet except that a
tie-up has been made by the ringsters
who constitute the committee with Has
call and the canal promoters. Docs it
not manifestly show that a trade has
been made whereby the committee is to
use it's campaign sheet to champion the
canal bonds. and Hascall, Wiley g. Co.
are to reciprocate by pulling together
for Harrison?
If this is. not the true inwardness of
the efforts made by the campaign organ
for the bonds what excuse could there
be for the attempt to commit the re-
publicans of this city to the support of
the bogus bond proposition? To a man
up a tree it looks very much as if
Slaughter has bundled in Harrison with
Hascall and the bond outfit.

According to a Vienna correspondent
there is reason to believe that the socialist
movement is making rapid progress In

number to something over 800. Their organ.

Of labor for their part have shown a marked
deficiency in that respect. The fact is that
In this country the employers of labor are,
from a variety Of reasons, hopelessly dis
united. The consequence is that the work
men have the whip hand. The socialists ar
not yet formally recognized as a polIticale
party, but they are to all intents and pur-
poses treated as such. This was ineyi-
table from the moment they began to
carry on their propaganda in broad day

sengers, sent in search Of Commodore
Smith, found that officer on his way home
from church. and he knew that the com

the i'll fated Congress.

an affectionate welcome. She related many
Incidents Of the southern Confederacy to
the emperor and empress, together with
the sacrifices and privations the south was
called upon to bear. The princess asked
the emperor, if he felt so much for the
south, why he had not helped the Confed-
eracy.
His reply was; "Cousin Kate, you all had
my warmest sympathy and hopes for your
success, but on account of slavery did not
dare to send AN army to your assistance.
Had done SO, should have had mob in
