SITUATION

The Republics Washington spe-
cial of July 30 says: The treasury
situation is causing serious alarm
to the administration and working
havoc for the Republican campaign
propaganda which defends the
Payne. Aldrich tariff as Il revenue
producing law.
To-day's Treasury statement
gives the working balance as about
SOS 900, 900. OF this, approximately
S24 100000 represents money re-
ceived from the corporation tax
which, for ali practical purposes, is
merely held in escrow.
If the pending case in the SUI
preme Court attacking the cOnstitu-
tionality Of this tax goes against
the Government, this money would
have to he refunded. Were that to
happen now the working balance
would be so low that an Issue Of
bonds or certificates would be nee
essary.
Last June tables were compiled,
now being circulated in campaign
literature, tending to show that the
operation Of the tariff act is piling
up surplus in the Treasury. These
figures, II now develops, were made
possible only by period of extra
ordinary receipts.
July has witnessed a big slump,
so great that, Notwithstanding the

recently explained the duty on man

Aldrich was stakeholder in rub

threw another bomb into the &. o. =.
ranks at Kansas City Tuesday by
declaring that A!drich forced an in
crease IN the cotton tariff schedules,
when the cotton manufactures were
not asking it, for the benefit Of the
cottonwood stock gambler. Says
the senator:
These increases were not made
for the protection Of any legitimate
manufacturing enterprise in the
United States, but to boom the stock
market. Last year there were is
sued $40, 0O0, 900 Of additional cotton
and Of wooden stocks, S64 900 900 that
had been previously authorized, but
not issued, and SIG 200, 900 OF new
stock. So these increases, therefore,
driven through by Mr.. Aldrich, were
in the interest of the stock gamblers
and spectators and not in the in
terest of legitimate manufacturing
enterprises. The wooden schedules
carried duties on the ordinary wooden
fabrics of ladies' dress goods rang
ing from llj to l4j per cent and on
other WOODEN clothes and fabrics
used by every family, duties usually
as eXtravagant. No effort was made
to ascertain the difference in the
cost of production of these fabrics at
home and abroad, bat imperative
demand was made by Senator Aid
rich that the wooden schedule be not
touched, declaring 1t to be the key

REGRETABLE.

We regret that Hon. James 4.
Reed, candidate for the Democrat,
ic nomination for United States
Senator, took occasion in his Mo-.
berly speech last Saturday to as
sail Governor Francis, his princi-
pal contestant for the nomination,
and the Business Mems Auxiliary
to the Democratic State Commit
tee, which he claimed was move
ment in favor of the latter. We
don't know how much truth, if
any, there may be in this charge.
1t may be that Mr.. Francis friends
dominate the Business Mems Aux.
Hilary, and if it be true it is prob
ably perfectly natural, as there is
a definite sympathy between the
large business interests and GOV.
eruor Francis because of the lat.
ter 5 prominence in business cir
cles but We don't think that this
need disturb Mr.. Reed to the
extent of inaugurating bitter
controversy that can have no other
effect than dlstracting attention
from more important questions in
the campaign and disturbing that
party harmony without which we
may lose all,
1t is to be regretted that this
senatorial nomination should have
been placed in the general election
instead of in the August primary,
for it will always prove a disturb.
ing cause when every member of
the party should be giving his un.
devided attention to carrying
through the ticket. AS it is. in
stead of the aspirants for senator.
ial nomination working for the
success of the party, they are look
ing after their own personal inter.
ests; while, if the nomination were
made at the primary, the nominee
would give his whole attention
during the campaign to the success
of the ticket, and the defeated as.
pirants would also be found work :
ing for the party if they would not
give up all future ambition for
party honors. To the candidates
for the senatorial nomination we
suggest that they curb their pro-
pensity for invectiye and bitterness
toward their competitors They
will not gain anything by such as.
saults, for the people are more dis.
posed than ever to think and Judge
for themselves, and are repealed
rather than favorably influenced by
personal controversies.

BRYAN REPUDIATED. ~

Among certain class Of Demo
Gratis the action of the Nebraska
State Convention in refusing to IN
corporate into its platform Mr..
Bryan's county option resolution
on the liquor question is received
with some degree of satisfaction
They have never really been IN
sympathy with a number of posi-
tions which Mr.. Bryan has taken
on public questions, and they have
been restless under his recognized
leadership. They think they see
in this action of the Nebraska
Democracy reputation of Mr..
Bryan. and that pleases them. 1t
also pleases large number of Re-
publicans, but for q different rea.
son. The latter recognize Mr..
Bryan 5 fearless honesty end stead,
fasness of purpose, and know that
if he were eliminated rs one of its
leaders the party would he weak
ened. They have always done their
bes, 70 discrcdlt him 10 little pur.
pose.
The Nebraska Convention did Il
very weak and foolish thing from
democratic standpoint II ap
pears that some Of the party lead
ers of his State, who have been
somewhat overshadowed by Mr..
Bryan 5 ability and responsiveness,
were a bit jealous Of his influence
and joined forces with the liquor
element to try to Gust him DIS Il
party leader in his own State, In
doing this, they practically aban-
doned an essential principle Of
demorracy-local self government,
for that is what county option
means in dealing with the liquor or
any other important public ques.
ton affecting local communities.
Mr.. Bryan made q fight in the con-
vention for this principle, and they
turned il down to show him that
they wouldn't be dictated" to by
him. He was entirely too forward
in prOmulgating democratic prin.
ciples, and they just wouldn't have
this Moses" to reign over them.
A lot of obstreperons school boys
might be expected to do that sort
of thing, but what must we think

Both the Republican and Popu.

Democratic convention had done
likewise, besides upholding prin-
ciple of the party it would have
done away with the liquor question
as a party issue, making it moral
question instead. But it appears
that the Nebraska Democrats pre-
ferred making a bid for the liquor
support.
Mr.. Bryan was right, as be near.
ly always is-possibly, always
when it comes to presenting and
standing for democratic doctrine,
and judging from the past integrity
of the man, even in this little home
affair he would rather be right
than victor. But if his detractors
