Elections force themselves nvOluntarly
upon the passing observer of these post
norton performances. When the late

and at all times proclaimed themselves
as republicans. They insisted that they

They assured everybody that they had
no disposition to bolt the party candi-

VOWED what Bryan called the para
mount issue. Now the proof of the
pudding is in the eating. Had these
silver republicans been sincere they
would have voted the republican state
ticket and that portion of the county
ticket which had no bearing directly
or remotely upon silver coinage.
The returns are all in now and the
proof is conclusive that the silver rcpub-
licanS had gone over, bag and baggage.
To the popocrats. The proof is positive
that the great majority, while in
siSting upon being clasSed as
republicans, voted the fusion ticket with
out wincing. Under these circum-
stances it may not be out of place to
ask where these silver republicans are
at? If thy are still republicans why
did they vote the fusion state and
county ticket? If they are democrats
then let them have the manhood and
dcccncy to enroll themselves in the dem
ocraric silver clubs. If they are con
Ycltcd to the principles advocated by
populistS then let them drop their masks
and join the populist party. AS "sil-

Oullivcd their usefulness. In the fu-

TIPS FOR LEGISLATORS.

Donirhan Index Tep): Some changes
should be made in the Australian ballot law
looking toward simpliicaton.
Schuyler Herald Cdem): Let our legis-
lature, when it meets, make some needed
changes in our election laws
Tekamah Herald Gep): Farmers insti-
tute work will he kept up in Nebraska and
it has been determined to ask the next
legislature for $4,000 to carry ON the work.
The proposition will undoubtedly meet the
approval of the more progressive farmers
of the state.
Columbus Argus (dem): The next loEis-
lature will demonstrate to the people that
when men are selected from their own midst
to represent them at Lincoln that the ac-
tion OF that body will be to the credit and
good name of the state, II will be one of
the most important sessions of the legisla-
ture ever held in the state.
TeCumseh Chieftain (rep): 1t is probable
that the next legislature will make some
badly need changes in our ballot law 1t
needs a complete oyerhauling. There should
be a provision made so that "A person could
vote a straight ticket. If he so desired, by
making a single mark at the proper place
at the top of the ballot. Then there should
be a limitation of the number of candi-
dates that can be placed on the ticket and

When the pcpulistic managers so far re-
cover from the campaign delrium as to
contemplate this column soberly what will
they think o. It? Even the original silver
ties and populiSts who have kept up los
ing fight for twenty years Gor they began
as graenbackcrsl may at last despair and
either retro to their tents to sulk or repent
and become reasonable citizens.
But how about the politicians who have
been silver pOpulists of late only because
they thought they were getting on the win
ming side? How about those who are in
politics as a business and cannot afford
TO fall? What do they see in the above
cOluml that encourages them to Drolong
the fight FOR dubased standard repudia-
t!un and d,shnor?
The above states cast a majority of the
electoral votes. What one of them do
the populst politicians think they can wrest
from the sound money column? At what
point do they think this sound money safe
can be cracked?
The politician whose object is success will
observe that the pluralties are most dis
couraging TO populism all along the line
The only spot that looks at all weak is
West Virginia, and even there populism
cannot hope ever to do so well again.
The politician who is on the lookout for
success will observe that the cheap money
issue was sprung this year under far more
favorable conditions than are likely to APP
pear again at any time within twenty
years.
The country was still laboring under those
hardshps which always follow panic To
men suffering from want of employment or
from business stagnation, it was easy to talk
OF an imaginary crime and to attribute their
distress to false cause with much success
Recovery from panic conditions is about
due in the natural course of events 1t is
to be expected, whether there is any change
in public policy or not. With the return OF
prosperity calamity bowling will become
losing political game. Any party that at
tcmpts to play that game in 1900 will be
wiped out, If the silver popullst party ap-
pears on the scene at that time, with it's
blue ruin yawp and repudiation clamor. it
viii certainly be beaten out of slght. not
only In the states above enumerated. but in
California Delaware, Indiana and Kentucky.
and almost certainly in Virginia. Tennessee.
Louisiana, Texas, Oregon, Washington and
the DakOtas.
Silverism and populism will not capture
the democratic party or make formidable
showing in 1900 any more than greenbackism
did in 1880, after the resumption OF specie
payments and the return of prosperity
The free silver calamity agitatOrs and the
free riot crowd will hardly make a ripple on
the surface of the political waters in 1900.

TEA, COFFEE IND REER.


1t is suggested that if the emergency
revenue bill which passed the house
and is on the cnlcndar of the senate can
not be agreed upon the additional rev
enuc required can BE- raised by increas-
ing the tax on beer TO 50 per barrel and
imposing Il small duty ON tea and coffee.
such legislation to be limited to a pe-
riod of not more than two years, within
which time the new congress and adj
ministration would be able to give con
SidrratiOn to the entire revenue prob
lem and formulate Il measure that would
meet all the requirements of the gov
crnment
1t is estimated that an additional tax
of 81 per barrel on beer would Weld
about $50, 100000 in addition to the sum
now received from that source The
importation of coffee is about G5O,0OO.-
600 pounds per aunum and of tea 90
100000 pounds. \ duty of cents n
pound on coffee would yield 100000
and duty of ; cents pound on tea
S4,SOO0OO Assuming that there would
be no diminutiOn of consumption. these
three articles would yield revenue of
about $13,OOOOOO, which it is thought
would be sufficient to meet the treasury
deficiency and provide for the imme-
diatc requirements of the government.
a specific duty of 1 cent per pound on
raw sugar has also been suggested. from
which it is estimated revenue of S37.-
IA al, Oh I -, Il
that the per capita consumption of tea
and coffee per annum is SO small, being
less than one and one-half pounds of
tea and only nine and one-fourth pounds
of coffee, that the moderate duties pro-
posed on these articles would not be felt
by the consumer.
There is the authority of Mr.. Dingley,
the chairman of the ways and means
committee, that there will be no further
revenue legislation by the present house
in the event of the senate failing to pass
the emergency bill in its present form
or with amendments, so that there is
very small probability of the suggestion
of an additional tax on beer and the
imposition of duties on tea and coffee
receiving any attention from this con
gress. Nor is it likely that the next
congress, if called in extra session, as
now seems almost assured will give
serious consideration to this suggestion.
1t is not in accord with republican pol
icy, under which duty on tea was re-
moved twenty-fOur years ago and coffee
placed on the free list thirteen years
ago. The republican party fully realizes
the necessity of providing more revenue
with the least possible delay, but it in
sistS that this shall be done in cOnnG-
ton with giving better protection TO
those industries which require it. The
fact that the republicans in the present
congress declined TO consider tea and
coffee as sources of revenue and also
to double the tax on beer-methods of
raising more revenue which undoubt-
edly have been approved by the admin
istration-may be accepted as ample as
surance that the next congress will not
adopt this plan of giving the treasury
more money, at least until IL shall have
become absolutely certain that n rev
enue measure extending protection can
not be passed.
Even n temporary tax on the "break-
fast table" would be hazardous from n
party point Of view. 1t would be un-

Concerning Archbishop Ireland.
.nLl

TIE statement that Cardinal Satoll has
presented a report to the pore on religious
questions In the United States in the course
of which he charges Archbishop Ireland
with hcrCey ana with attempting to spread
the doctrines of neo-Cathollcism, and that
this will be made the basis for the arch
bishops removal is evidently destitute OF
any good foundation. The strongest reason
tor this suppostion is that the archbishop
has not pronounced against any of the dog
mas of the Roman Catholic church. nor
has he sought to put any different construc-
tion upon them than that which is enter
tained at the Vatican. SO far as the arch
bishops position with regard to political
affairs during the recent campaign is con
cerncd 1t is well enough known that he ad-
vocatcd a course as a citizen which the pope
personally approves The best reasons
however, for pronouncing the statement in
correct, are the arChbshops own criticism
of it, and the pronouncement from the papal
legation at Washington that the archbishop
has not been summoned to Rome up to the
present time and that there are no indca-
