The Nebraska Deadlock.

Nebraska's legislature. which has a
Republican majority of thirteen on
joint ballot, has been temporarily dis
tracted in it's efforts to elect a United
States senator by the recent senSa-
tional investigation of State Auditor
Cornell. Dispatches from Lincoln,
however, now say that the Repub-
licans have finally agreed to go into
caucus today and name a winner.
Heretofore they have been kept from
doing this by the ten or twelve Repub
lican candidates for the position, each
with following ranging from one up
to thirty votes.
Up to this time the fusionists have
steadily polled their full strength, fifty
eight votes for the present incumbent,
William V. Allen. but yesterday they,
too. had a caucus. and came near de-
Gliding to throw their votes to Justice
Harrison, of the supreme court. He has
been a lifelong Republican. 1t is con-
sidered quite probable that the appear
ance of Mr.. w. ]. Bryan in the caucus,
which he addressed at length, prevent
ed the contamination of this scheme.
He opposed the move strongly and eio
quently. But while earnestly speaking
against such a coalition, the palpable
object of which was simply to secure
control of the supreme court and a
number of offices thereto attached, it
is we'll known that there is one promi-
nent Republican in the state whom he
would not oppose. This is Mr.. Edward
Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee.
In fact Mr.. Bryan indicated as much
when asked about it. Mr.. Rosewater
enjoys the unique distinction of being
the man who let down the bars to the
fusion forces of Nebraska. in 1894, and
invited them to walk into the political
pasture, where they have browsed ever
since. Subsequent events have also
made it plain that the fusionists would
have broken down the barriers any
way, in the landslide of 1896. and at
that time Rosewater was a relentless
foe of Mr.. Bryan.
Yet in the face Of all this Mr.. Bryan
now points to the fact that the editor
of the Bee opposes expansion. imperial
ism, militarism and retirement of the
greenbacks. To vote for Mr.. Rosewater
would, as Mr.. Bryan argues, indorse
much that is held in common by Demo-
Gratis as Leading principles of the
Democratic party 1t is considered
quite certain that. so far as Mr.. Bryan
is concerned. Mr.. Rosewater, by the
combined vote of the fusionists and
certain Republican following. could be
elected United States senator. But
what is known as the Hitchcock ele-
ment in the Nebraska Democracy is
bitterly opposed to Mr.. Rosewater. Gill
bert NJ. Hitchcock. editor Of the Omaha
World Herald, will. doubtless. be able
to put to sleep the aspirations Of Rose
water. and the fusionists will go down
to defeat with colors flying and still
voting solidly for William V. Allen. It
is considered that Thursdays ballot in
the Nebraska legislature will result in
the election Of the Republican caucus
nominee.

Germany's Gracsful Act.

One of the master strokes of modern
diplomacy was that of Germany in
withdrawing its war ships from Philip
pine waters and leaving the lives and
property of it's subjects at Manila and
elsewhere in the great group of islands
to the protection of the government of
the United States. Tired out at hear
ing that the officers of his gunboats off
Luzon were doing this that and the
other thing to aid Spain or the Filipino
natives. the kaiser concluded yesterday
to end all by sending every vessel I'M
der the German naval flag so far away
from the benighted Philippines that
rumor could no longer play tit for tat
with them. It is needless to say that
this action of Emperor William will
meet with the hearty applause of the
United States. and that from this date
the relations between two of the great
est nations of the earth will hourly in
crease in cordiality.

In a recent issue The ST. Paul GIob.
credited to the Courier an item supposedly
criticising the Minnesota house of representa-
tives for wasting the peoples money by
employing a lot Of useless clerks. Senator

alluded to. and to him was laid the blame
of rejecting the lower house.
We desire to say the senator from POLL

to inform The G o b that such an item
