Good citizens, regardless of pollti-
cal Affiliations, will Join in the welcome
to Governor Charles f. Hughes Of
New York, who will address Omaha
citizens at the Auditorium this even
ing and then make a short tour
through Nebraska.
Governor Hughes, although he has
filled but one public office and has
never served the people outside of his
own state, has become a conspicuous
figure in the public y {. He has
his prominence by his own efforts, in
face of the determined opposition CT
politicians within and without his
party, and has done valiant work in
pushing the progress of reform in
American official life. He is a re-
former who does things and as such Is
dear to the American public.
Those who imagine they want to
listen to a word painter or orator will
perhaps be disappointed at first with
Governor Hughes. There is no daz-
cling effect about his oratory, but he
has wonderful and effective lucidity
in sitting out the essential truths of
whatever subjects he undertakes to
discuss. Those who hear him will
leave with a better understanding of
the real truths Of the issues in the
present campaign and an enlarged
view of the best method of achieving
a satisfactory solution of the prob
lens that are pressing for considera-
ton of congress and the people.

REGISTRATION.

a condition precedent to the exer-
else of the elective privilege in Omaha
and South Omaha is registration as a
legally qualified voter. The wisdom
of this provision of the law is unques-
Toned. 1t is absolutely necessary and
essential to protect the ballot and pre-
vent indiscriminate frauds against the
franchise. Too many of the voters
seem to look upon the requirement as
trenching in some way upon their per-
sonal liberty andsare inclined to resent
by i~nnuendo, at least, the law. This
resentment all too frequently takes the
form If failure to register. On cleo
ton day much regret may be expressed
at the inability to vote, but the neg
lect to register stands in the way.
The franchise privilege is one of
the most sacred charges laid on the
citizen. 1t makes each voter RESPONSE
bic in his own person for the admins
tration of the government. He cannot
evade this responsibility, even by fail
ure to vote, and if he has not voted
any dissatisfaction he may feel is his
own fault. For this, If for no other
reason, every man who is entitled to
vote should exercise the privilege.
Tuesday, October 6, is the mex day
for registration in Omaha, and all who
did not register at the primary election
should get their names on the list
without delay.

Edwin T. Salem in New York Sun.
oh, tender, lovely woman is
A thing OF down and satin;
Some spot of deathless roses shs
Should max her habitat in.
How carefully she wraps her up
When winter swirls and rankles;
A sealskin sack upon her back
And gauze upon her ankles!
oh. gracious lovely woman IL
In Gilead the balm, she;
The ministering angel here
Mans stay In storm and calm, she.
She smooths our brow. she buoys US up
Through fste's outrageous twisters-
And with fair lips she soundly rips
Her luckless Grant sisters!
Oh, fragile lovely women is;
Behold the weaker vessel
United, by her feeble frame,
With stress and ruth to wreRtle.
Not hers to walk. not hers to work,
With ease her path we hem, sir
So that she may but shop All day

do VETERANS LIVE TOO LoNe,o

do VETERANS LIVE TOO LONG,"
A reader of The Bee, who presents a
record showing that he wore the blue
from Bull Run to Appomatox, takes
Mr.. Bryan severely to TASK for an edi-
torial which was printed in the Omaha
World-Herald finding fault with the
veterans of the civil war because they
persist in living. The editorial in
question was printed in the Omaha
World-Herald on November Is, 1892,
and was as follows:
The next congress viii have to wrestIe
with one deficiency Of $S6, 600. 600. This is
on account of the pensions. The appropria-
ton for pensions for the next year must
be not less than $l5O,OO0OOO. 1t is therefore
easy arithmetic to perceive that the ap-
preparation that congress must make for
pensions at the next session must aggre-
gate not less than $4,000 n This tire
sum would Of itself be enough to
run a reasonable government. one would
not complain II II were an honorable debt,
but a large proportion Is not debt because
Il was never earned by any act OF pat
rioiism or heroic service. The government
Is held up and bespoiled Of no mean por-
ton OF this, and II seems helpless to de-
TEND iself. one cannot HELM being ,curious

Mr.. Bryan is such a clever enter
tainer that it would be a pity to re-
move him from the platform he has
shown himself so we'll fitted for to put
him in an office for which he has as
yet developed no qualifications. The
people realize this and will decline to
part with their fun for the purpose of
