POpulist Oversight.

York Times: In their platform the
populists depOunce the republican
party for electing a defaulter as mayor
of Omaha. So far as we can learn Mr..
Moores has never been convicted of
any crime and claims to be able to show
that the county owes him instead Of
being himself indebted to the county.
However hat may be the municipal af-
fairs of Omaha are hardly n proper
issue for a state campaign. But if u
populist friends are going into the bust
ness of de%nouncing local defaulters
they might mention the populist dis
trict clerk of Lancaster county, who is
Il defaulter to almost the full amount
of the fees collected by him. They
should not forget the defaulting popu-
list county treasnrers of Custer, Har-
ian, and Gosper counties. the latter of
whom burned up the court house and
fled the country. Out of half u dozen
or so township t~reasurers elected by
the populists In York county, fOur at
least are defaulters. While our pOpu-
list brethren are diving into municipal
affairs it might not be ont of place for
them to express their opinion of these
several defaulters, and many others
not here enumerated.

New York Still Feels the Effects OF
Democratic Legislation.
Mr.. Editor: Kindly pass around the
following extract taken from the
New York World of August 10:
A Summer of Suffering.
From day to day the World has been
telling of cases of starvation in this
city. There is another index of it
the line in front of Fleischmann's
bakery, just below Grace church, on
Broadway. Every night at midnight
the proprietor gives the bread left
from yesterdays baking to all who
ask.
Three hours earlier the hungry line
begins to form. These poor wretches
are willing to wait for hours to get
their food five minutes earlier. Some
nights the line is two blocks long.
Il never saw it so long before" SAID
the policeman on the beat, land this
is summer, too, when the tramps are
gone. The people here are all deserv-
ing"
In the bakery it was said the line
had never been so long in the summer
as this year.
1t would be well to reproduce the
Worlds picture of the Hundreds Of
hungry men, who gather nightly at
Fleischmann's bakery on Broadway, to
receive the remnants of the previous
days baking Of bread that is given
away" and also to reproduce the por-
trait of the young man, Frank Kanapa,
who died from starvation in Bellevue
hospital, after losins several positions
and then seeking employment which
he could not find.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
World will continue TO give publicity
to the unfortunate fact that Prof. Will
sons tariff law, which the World ad-
vocated, succeeded in transferring so
many opportunities for work from this
country to Europe, that it left Il
people in misery never before expert.
creed.
II the World will continue to give
the facts, until the people recover from
the blight of the Wilson tariff law,
fewer people will be deceived when
the World begins again to curse pro-
and bless the un-American,
oiigbiing principles of the free trade.

How Sheffield Is .'stransled."

At one time our trade dealings with
the United States formed the keynote
of Sheffield commerce. That is so no
longer. By successive turns of the
tariff screw one Sheffield trade after
another has been strangled, until the
condition of affairs is sharply sum-
married in the words, given elsewhere,
of a gentleman whose firm for many
years did a large and valuable business
with the states. Things have now
come to such a pass in that market, he
informed u representative yesterday,
that cit was hardly worth while cal
culating upon as a means of profit
Sheffield Eng) Telegram.
We a sympathize with Sheffield.
There vas a time, under the Mckinley
protective tariff, when trade dealings
in American goods formed the key
note" of American commerce. That
keynote" got sadly out of tune just
as soon as we were threatened with the
Democratic free trade policy. There
has been a sad lack of harmony here
ever since, because the keynote" of
our commerce Vas pitched to suit the
clamorous voices of our foreign friends
at Sheffield and elsewhere in Europe.
But turn about is fair play, especially
as it should be our privilege to legis-
late for our own interests. Sheffield
knows very we'll that, while her manu-
facturers were supplying us with Shelf
field cutlery, the American market
was hardly worth calculating upon as
a means of profit to the American
manufacturers of cutlery.

Good Horses Not Plentiful

Every week at the horse market and
stock yards we, in connection with our
business, come in touch and have con-
versation with scores of men from all
sections of the West. men who are
thoroughly posted as to the condition
OF the horse trade in their respective
localities, says Buffalo Horse Review.
From Western horsemen the universal
verdict, and they are in a position to
know, is that there is now an over
supply of horses in the country. but
that they are not of the right sort
that out OF the vast numbers on West
ern farms. the percentage of those sal
able at the present time is decidedly
small. The great bulk of the horses on
the farms all over the country are OF
inferior quality, for which there is but
little demand any place, and when mar
keted they are generally mOney-losers
for all who handle them, even when
got from the farms for next to moth
ing. But on each farm if there is not
q really good marketable horse, there
may be one or more that will sell fair
ly well compared to the poor stun-the
best each one has. These are being
sent to market as fast as they can be
cleared from the country, even if they
are under desirable salable age and
not in the very best marketable condi-
that Will sell, without
regard to the future supply and de-
mand for horses.
