M rorHTg DISTRICT

The republicans Of the Fourth CON
gresslonal district are TO be congratu-
lated on the selection by their conven-
ton Of e. II. Hinshaw as their candi-
date for congress-. While the fight for
the nomination proved to be the most
spirited and long drawn out of the con-
gressional contests this year, the result
aside from the personal disappointment
of other aspirants cannot fail to prove
favorable to republican success at the
polls.
Mr.. Hinshaw has been before the peo-
pie of the Fourth district as a candidate
for congress once before. having four
years ago made a vigorous but unsuc-
cessful canvass against a safe fusion
majority. He has unquestlonably grown
both in breadth of view and in political
experience since that time and enhanced
his powers of usefulness for his on
stituents when he enters the national
Legislature.
No section of Nebraska has shared in
greater measure in republican prosperity
thar the Fourth district, whose people
will surely exhibit their appreciation Of
the changed conditions within the past
four years by sending a republican to
Washington to represent them in con-
gress.

NO MORE PASSES M YIReINIA.

One good feature of the new constitu-
ton of Virginia is a provision prohibit
ing franks and free passes to public
officers-state. city and county. 1t is
left to the legislature to prescribe the
penalty to be paid by corporations that
violate the law, but the Richmond Dis
patch is of the opinion that there will
not be many violations. 1t states that
the corporations give evidence of great
a~lacrity Of purpose to obey the constitu-
tion-makers and will cheerfully reduce
their free list as required.
The new constitution, which will go
into effect next month, provides that
the public officer who takes a free pass
shall forfeit his position and the legis-
lature may prescribe a additional pen
atty. In this matter Virginia has set
an example which other states should
follow. 1t has made provision against
the taking of passes by public officers
secure by Incorporating it in the organic
law OF the state, so that it is pretty
certain to stay there at least until there
is another revision of the constitution
and very likely 1t will remain always
a part of the fundamental law, since IL
will undoubtedly have the support OF
the people. That benefit to the public
interests will result from this prohibit
ton Of free passes to state, county and
city officers may safely be assumed.

BRYANIsM TURNED TO THE WALL.

Washington Post (ind.): The platform OF
the Illinois democrats gives emphasis to
the fact that Mr.. Altgeld is dead.
Chicago Record-Herald (rep.): Still Mr..
Bryan may find some comfort in the thought
that Illinois and Indiana have recently been
pretty sure republican states, anyway.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican 0nd.): So
far as general issues are concerned, the
democratic conventions thus far held in
east, west and south display the same tend
encies. The democrats Of Illinois and
Maine this week strike the same leading
notes. That the high tariff is again COM
ing into prominence appears from the
declarations Of these bodies, and It may also
be observed that this issue has an intimate
connection with the trust issue.
Philadelp:-.a Record (dem.): The demo-
Gratis of Illinois. who met in state conven-
ton Tuesday, would not tolerate even a
blinking and sidewise allusion to the silver
issue in their platform. They fell back
upon fundamental principles as laid down
In the Declaration of Independence and the
federal constitution, without any 16 to
interpretations. This is as wise as 1t is sat
isfactory. State after state is finding the
way back to the safe old democratic roost.
new 1Ork WOrlQ lQem.)s Inc platform
adopted yesterday by the democrats Of IIli-
nois faces front. Dead questions are left
in their graves. On the new issues of the
living present the Illinois democracy de-
clares itself with earnestness and emphasis.
1t demands that all combinations that de-
stroy competition shall be curbed by ex-
isting or new laws, denounces the trust
breeding tariff and calls for its revision,
and demands also that the Philippines shall
be treated on the same basis as Cuba. Mr..
Bryan's name was not mentioned in the
convention. Thus do signs multiply that
the democratic party throughout the coun-
try is determined to look forward, not
backward, and give itself a fighting chance
in 1904.
Kansas City Star Qnd.): The democrats
Of Illinois, in the platform adopted at
Springfield, followed the course taken by
their colleagues in several other states by
ignoring William j. Bryan or the platforms
OF 1896 and 1900. The general reference to
democratic precedent is SO worded as to dis
credit the issues on which the party went
to defeat in the last two presidential cam
paigns, and LIS a strong, definite appeal to
all factions of the organization to reunite
on newer and better policies. To make this
position still moro appealing to the whole
party, the first specific plank relates to the
tariff and the trusts. These two Issues are
SO closely allied as to make a single ques-
tion In national politics. The inequities
of high protection. especially as the system
Is applied today, are more styikingly mani

a PRoFlrlRLE TERRIroRr.

A statement regarding commercial
conditions, opportunities and prospects
in Alaska, prepared by the treasury
bureau of statistics, shows that an ex-
cellent bargain vas made when that
territory was purchased from Russia.
1t appears from the statistics, now first
given in detail, that Alaska, for which
the United States paid Russia $7,200,0OO
in 1S67-a sum then regarded as most
extravagant-has supplied furs, hsh and
gold amounting to about $l50,OOO,O0O in
value. about equally divided between
those three items; that the investments
OF capital from the United States in
the territory are probably $~20,OO0,OOO,
with a large additional sum invested
in transportation to Alaska, and that
