neglect no source Of information, so that
when the decision shall have beer given
there can be no reasonable or just com
plant on either side that the facts and
conditions have not been fully inquired
into.
There has been submitted to the com
mission a statement of the demands Of
the mine workers and the reasons for
them. These are the same that were
presented to the operators and on which
the strike was based. They ask for in
crease Of wages, a reduction in hours Of
labor and changes in several respects
from existing methods. They also ask
for recognition of the OF ganizatiOn of
mine workers. 1t is expe eted that the
answer Of the operators to the state
ment of the miners will be received by
the commission before it's meeting next
week, when the taking of testimony will
begin. How long this will continue 1t Is
impossible to say with any degree Of
certainty, but doubtless the hearing of
testimony will consume at least a month
and very likely a longer time. The COM
mission will probably place no arbitrary
limit upon this, but as long as there is
anything relevant and material to be
submitted will neal it. Equal oppor-
tunity, it is assured, will be given to
both sides, so that neither shall have
reason to complain that it did not re-
ceive fair and impartial treatment.
The high character of the commission,
it's UNREASONABLE ability, its manifest
sense of the great responsibility resting
upon it and the course it has thus far
pursued, justify the belief that the de-
cision 1t shall reach will be such as to
command public confidence and be re-
ceived without demur by all concerned
in the controversy. What is hoped for
as the result of the commissions work
is not only a satisfactory settlement of
the present issues between the miners
and operators, but also that its findings
will tend to prevent future controver-
sizes of this nature, and there is reason
to think that this will be realized.

M~ERCENARY ADVICE.

A newspaper published for revenue
only by nonresident owners, who are
democrats in Kansas City, independents
in Des Moines and st. Paul and half
breed republican, in Omaha, has served
notice upon the republican party of
Omaha and Douglas county that it must
keep up its fractional fight regardless Of
consequences. This advice is not en-
tirely disinterested. If the republicans
Of Omaha and Douglas county should
harmonic their differences and agree to
drop personal politics, the newspaper
hybrid would soon be without an issue,
its political advertising space at sc much
per line would not be marketable at any
price and it's patent political blood puri-
fiers and purgatives would cease to find
gullible purchasers.
The election returns have completely
exploded the assertion that the Opposi-
ton to Mr.. Mercer came only from the
vicious and criminal elements and their
benehciaries. They show that Mercer
was beaten in the wards inhabited by
the most substantial and respectable
class of citizens, who usually have the
courage Of their convictions and may be
depended on to support good govern.
ment, national, state and local, whenever
that issue is really involved.
In the Fourth and Sixth wards, which
are ordinarily good for 1000 republican
majority, Mercer received only 300 ma
jority.
The Eighth ward, which is republican
by 200. was carried by Hitchcock by 60
majority.
The Fifth ward, which is $50 repub-
lican, went against Mercer by 100.
In the eminently respectable Ninth
ward, in which the registration showed
$50 republican majority, Mercer got only
100 majority.
The Seventh ward, which he claimed
as his home, and which has no saloon
element to speak of, vas carried for
Mercer only by trading off Mickey, so
that although it's republican majority
should have been over 300. 1t gave a
small majority for Thompson, the demo
cratic candidate for governor.
In the face of these facts the appeal
of the hybrid nonresident sheet for the
continuance of the fractional strife on the
plea that the bad elements which caused
the defeat of Mercer must be exter-
minated will scarcely strike a responsive
chord with sensible republicans who
want to have the party united instead
Of divided.

PROPOSITION ron RAILROADS..

49,
The railroad corporations i'm Nebraska
could take no wiser course than to CON
sent to n rational and equitable basis for
the taxation Of their properties. 1t must
be apparent to those who control their
affairs that they cannot hope long to
maintain the present status, so unjust
to the great body of the taxpayers of
the state. The utmost within the bounds
Of possibility for them to accomplish
would be to postpone for a very little
time the payment of the just share of
the tax burden which they have so long
succeeded in escaping.
The Bee puts this proposition to the
railroad corporations on the ground of
their own interest. For them at this
juncture to p~recipitate a desperate strug-
gle to beat the a roll, to maintain an
army of lobbyists, agents and attorneys,
to plunge into litigation and an elaborate
system of manipulation Of the state gov
ernment, will be enormously expensive
TO the railroads themselves. The cost Of
such a campaign would go far toward
paying the proportion of taxes which is
fairly due, and which in spite Of any
thing the roads can do will ultimately
have to be paid anyhow.
Resistance on the part of the com
panies will certainly exasperate the peo-
pie. The facts demonstrating the tax
determinations against them are too
glaring and patent to be longer con-
cealed or CLOSED over or obscured by
false issues, no matter how cunningly
trumped up or { be explained away.
1t Is utterly impossible to break down
the force of the truth. To attempt to
seduce and manipulate the government
under these conditions would require
means so gross and obnoxious that popu-
lar agitation would spread like wildfre.
1t would be moonstruck madness for the
railroad corporations of Nebraska now
to provoke such a situation.
The railroads can richly afford to pay
the same ratio of taxes that other prop
erty pays. They receive a lavish share
of the benefit of the government in
police protection and in other ways-no
other property in the state so large a
share. But they cannot so well afford TO
have the people of Nebraska lay a rough
hand on the Matchmaking power, as has
been lone under far less provocation in
Iowa, Texas and some other states.
1t is easier to excite than to regulate
a popular agitation, and the carrier cor
porations should beware how they ex-
asperate the people of Nebraska into
a movement which, ono under way, will
not stop merely with a reform Of assess
ment, but will inevitably go the full
length of overhauling transportation
rates-a most serious fact for the COM
panies If they will stop to think of it.
The people would be only too glad to
meet the railroad corporations more
than half way for a reasonable accom-
mediation. Such an adjustment, while
relieving the roads Of the vast expense
involved in continuous political manipu-
lations, would secure permanent comfort
to both parties and go fac to elevate the
plane Of Nebraska politics.

IOWA DEMOCRACY.

In some respects the chief Importance
of the late election consists in its rela-
ton to the interior politics of the demo
cratic party with reference to 1904, and
Colonel Bryan of Nebraska will find
abundant food for reflection in the re-
suit in the adjacent state Of Iowa, a
state which is essential to the Bryan
wing of the democracy. In 1896 and
again in 1900 the Iowa delegation occu-
pied a commanding position in the demo-
cratic national convention. From top
to bottom Of the party organization the
conservative element either abdicated or
was Ousted from authority, and Colonel
Bryan's will was party law.
This is now all suddenly reversed.
The result of the election is to leave the
party machinery in the control of the
democratic opponents of Mr.. Bryan. At
the outset he distinctly lost in the state
convention the battle for reaffirmatiOn
of the Kansas City platform, though by
a small margin. But the conservatives
instantly followed up their advantage
by nominating gold democrats in nearly
all the congressional districts and or
ganizing in harmony with the candi-
dates all the committees and other cam
paign agencies. Both sides are looking
forward to and are already preparing
for the crucial struggle for mastery of
the party in the neXt national conven-
ton. Mr.. Bryan's leadership is at
stake. He has obviously committed =
grave and not unlikely a fatal tactical
error in permitting his antagonists at
this time TO get possession of party ma
chinery in the great state of Iowa. If
it's delegation in 1904 shall line up with
the anti-Bryan forces it seems impossi-
BILE that they should win.
Yet had Mr.. Bryan bestirred himself
in May and June when the contest was
being fought out, it is not unlikely that
he could have turned the scale in Iowa.
He did nothing of the kind, he permitted
things to drift, and his followers, so long
in complete control in that soate, now
find themselves as in the enemy's coun-

dorsement Of the governors fight against

A Kansas political manager is of the
opinion that the rural mail delivery system
with its daily newspaper is largely respon-
sible for the political apathy in that state.
He points out that the political rally has
heretofore given the farmer an opportunity
to drive to town and meet his neighbors; it
has been one Of the remedies Tor the Ioneli-
ness OF farm life, but the daily newspaper
now delivered at his door removes this feel
ing OF loneliness and serves TO occupy
agreeably his leisure hour.

The Alaska native tribes are rapidly dy-
ing from the effect Of the diseases and vices
of civilization. Of1cers OF ships recently
arrived at San Francisco report that about
25 per cent of the coast Indians have died
from measles. AS. one sea captain re-
marked: when the natives began to wear
civilized mans clothing and drink white
mans whisky, then began their decline"
The effects OF new diseases upon any race
is always very fatal, but the effects Of
vice are much more so, for disregard of the
laws OF nature is responsible for much Of
the severity of contagious diseases. This
lesson has not yet been we'll learned by
white men, however, and it is not strange
that the Alaska Indian disregards 1t.
