Murar Halsteap, who is a good civil service reformer, hits the nail on the head when ho says: “We were expecting an outburst of civil service reform from the direction of Massachusetts, and it came from Senator Dawes, who tells how the horrid office seekers oppress the mem- bers of congress. The senator gives many pathetic instances of the suffer- ings of the members, but he does not furnish a list of those who desire to be relieved from the horrible toil i flicted upon them by the evil system,” e— it is now neatly a year since the citizens of Douglas county voted to issue §125,000 in county bonds for the proposed new county court house. Beforo these bonds were voted the county commissioners urged that the building of the new court house just a8 soon as it could possibly be done, 1t was represented that the county was run- was an imperative necessity. ning the risk of losing her most valu- able records by fire, which could We were told that the vaults for the records of deeds and mortgages were not large enough to hold all these records, and the same of the country treasurer's tax books, which were exposed to the risk of fire. 1t was mainly with a view of pro- tecting the county against a possible calamity that the people of this county voted the bonds asked for by the com- missionera, . A yoar has nearly passed and the only steps so far taken toward build- ing that court house is the grading and levelling of the square upon which the new court house is to be built. Even that is not entirely com- pleted. What were the commision- ers doing all that time? They spent some months in travel- ing to various cities to inspect public buildings to get an idea what other counties and cities have done with a view to utilizing their experience. That was very proper. In due time wanted architects to furnish plans for the new court house. After several months delay the plans were examined and what was considered the best and most desirable plan was accepted and adopted. That was the plan drawn by an architect of national reputation, Mr. Myers, of Detroit. The archi- tect was requested to draw up modi- fied plans with details, several months were again con- sumed in waiting for these plans. Finally proposals were invited for the construction of the court house in ac- cordance with these plans, for which a contract was to be awarded tothe lowest responsible bidder. These pro- posals were opened Wednesday, and the commissioners, without making the bids public, rejected them all be- cause they were largely in excess of the estimated cost of the proposed court house, And now we are just where we started from nearly a yearago. Mean- time building materials and labor never be replaced. and have advanced from ten to twenty-five per cent, and there is no prospect of their becoming any cheaper for several years to come. If the commissioners undertake to build the court house within the limit of lask year's estimate, we shall have a Cheap John court house that will have tube pulled down in a very few years.” To buld the court house ac- cording to the Myers plan will involve the necessity of issuing more bonds. This fact the commissioners have krown for the last six months. They knew it before the Myers plan was adopted just as well as they do now. Why, then, did they put the county to the expense of advertising to go through a farce which only causes further needless delay? Every pub- tic spirited citizon of this county heartily approves the proposed Myers plan because it would giveus a metro- politan court house, commodious and substantial. A cheaper and pretentious building might an- swer for a few years, but it would be a very poor economy. Omaha is to be a city of 100,000 in- habitants within ten years and she should have a court house as substan- tial as the postoffice and court house erected by Uncle Sam nearly ten years ago, Such a building will necessarily cost more than 8150,000 at present rates of labor and material, The city of Denver has just contracted for a court house, planned by Mr. Myors, much larger and more elaborate at a cost of over £400,000, Omaha should not be much behind Denver in such an enterprise. It would have been economical and desirable to have joined the county and city in one public building—as has been done in Chicago and other citics—but it is less too late now to retrace and lose another year or two in procuring new plans. What the commissioners ought to do, is to con- tract for the foundation and base- ment of the court house on the My- ers' plan without further delay, and let that much of the be contsructed this season, Then let them appeal to the people for a further allowance in bonds to fimsh the building.

On this account if the proposed mnew road from Lincoln to Fregmont is to be built by the of its owners and proprietors; the of Dodge, Saunders, Butler and Lan- with money counties caster would doubtless gladly welcome it as a new outlet for their produce. There are intimations, however, that the inevitable bonds are to be called for from the counties through which the road is to pass. Such a proposi- tion should be emphatically voted down. Railroads are the most profit- ablo of investments and the people should retuse to mortgage their farms to encourage the building of transpor- tation lines, whose projectors are amply able to sustain their own enter- prises. OmlDAm AND CORPORA- TIONS. Nothing in these late times has shown the growing powers of the anti- monopoly sentiment in a stronger de- greo than the defeat of Chaun- oy M. Depew in New York. The New York Tribnne, which was Mr. Depew’s organ says that it raises the question whether a connection with a great corporation is not a hin- drance rather than a help to a candi- didate for a conspicuous office. The popular impression is that all great corporations are omnipotent in con- gress and state legislatures, and that whatever they wish to see accom- plished, either in the way of legisla- tion or in the election of favorite can- didates, ir pretty sure to be consum- mated. It was well known that Mr. Depew was able, eloquent and per- sonally popular, but the fact that he was an attorney for Mr. Vanderbilt's railrond was fatal to his success. In Towa another eminent and dis- tinguished lawyer is making his can- vass for the United States senate Jim Wilson has behind him a monop- oly record more marked than that of Mr. Depew. He has refused to con- tent himself with the simple duties of corporation attorneyship, and has distinguished himself by a bold fight against any and all measures which had for their object the restriction of railway abuses. Mr. Wilson is likely to repeat Mr. Depew’s failure, and for exactly similar causes. Commenting upon these two cases the Chicago Journal asks whether there is anything especially vicious, immoral or dangerous to the public interest in maintaining a business connection with a railroad corpora- tion, and whether a company char- tered by the legislature, doing busi- ness under the laws of the state, com- posed of some of its most respectable and intelligent citizens, so wickxed that its touch is contamination? The question is easily answered. If railroad corporations were conducted on the “‘business principles,” which are carried into operation by every successful merchant, there would be nothing dangerous to the public inter- ests in the selection of party candi- dates from the paid employes of such corporations. Such is not the case. The laws of trade are set at defiance by railway managers. Competition is strangled by consolidations, and ‘‘pools.” Services are sold to differ- ent parties at widely diverging prices. The public and investors are swindled without mercy by the tricks of common gamblers, Embargoes are placed on commerce by artificial obstructions to trade in the shape of ferries, bridges, and the mo nopolizing of wharf and water front privileges, Taxes are evaded and the people forced to protect the property which refuses to contribute its share for the common welfare. Towns are built up or destroyed at the will of ir- responsible men. Legislatures are purcheased, witnesses suborned, con- gressmen bought and sold and even our cour.s of justice invaaed by the corrupting influences of corporation gold. The public interest sinks into insignificance in the eyes of unscru- pulous stock gamblers when com- pared with the private interests of the corporation treasury. It is on these accounts that the people are beginning to realize that the touch of corporations is too often contamina- tion, and that it is dangerous to the public interest to select candidates for high offices from the paid employes of the monopolies. This is especially applicable as re- gards attorneys. Their duties in at- tending to the law business of cor- porations is perfectly legitimate but most of them are not employed for this purpose. To hire attorneys for packing and bulldozing conventions and for thwarting the expression of popular will through legislatures by falsifying facts before committees, bribing legislators to intro- duce bogus bills and doing what would send any other man to the penitentiary, Employment by a und the payment down of $100,000 in who claims the honor of projecting the scheme, in- forms the public that engineers are going right out to locate the road, and prophesies that it will soon become an important element in the Chicago & Northwestern system. Nebraska wants railroads. There is probably not & man in tho state desiring its growth and development who is not corporation should not serve as an excuse for men to commit crimes, nor can men who hire out for such dis- reputable work be trusted as pub- lic servants. The people may be sold out by dishonest congressmen and senators after they are elected, but it would be folly for them to put their Freverick ConkuiNg is fighting vigorously with the anti-monopolists and devoting himself to the denun- ciation of bribery by free passes. In a recent address to the New York lengues, he said: ‘At the opening of the session it is the custom of some railroad lobhyist to go about among the members of the legislature and distribute thesetickets, The assump- tion that theyare complimentaryisnon- sense. The ticket is a part, at least, of the purchase money of the man who accepts it, and in niost cases the cor- porations can show as clear a title to their purchases as a planter could to In this connection I his negro sl wish to refer to the very strange re- ports made by my old friend Erastus Brooks in the late bribery investiga- tion. Mr, Brooks is said to carry in his pocket not only free passes over the railroads of the state, but in the Wagner drawing-room cars as well, and Mr. Brooks reports that he con- siders Mr, Bradley’s testimony good 80 far as it criminates himself only, while the benefit of the doubt is given to the self-acknowledged lobbyist whose money Mr. Bradley produced.” NemBraska farmers should turn their attention more strongly to the subject of creameries. Towa has now in operation 400 creameries Wwith a value of nearly $1,000,000. Creamery butter is always in good demand at excellent prices and corn and grass put into milk pays a heavy profit on the investment. —_— rations and Candidates. From New York Tribune. One interesting fact appearing in the Albany contest ought not to be over- looked—that it raises the question whether a connection with a great cor- poration is not a hindrance rather than a help to a candidate for a con- spicuous office. This is far from be- ing the popular impression. So much has been said of the power of corpora- tions in politics, especially in the con- trol of legislative bodies, that many have come to believe that the railroads are omnipotent at our state capitals. They are popularly supposed to con- trol not only the legislative but also the political functions of the le¥inh- tures, and the ordinary citizen has a vague notion ot a vast and indefinable power that shapes legislation, appoints committees, choose speakers, nomi- nates governors and elects United States senators, all with the precision and certainty of a machine. This idea is s0 widely diffused that it must be regarded as one of the accepted tradi- tions of our politics, To acertain ex- tent, it is correct. Every corporation, whether a railroad, insurance compa- ny or bank, large en ugh to be the ob- ject of attack by legislative strikers, and anxious either to protect or in- crease its possessions and interests, must, of course, keep a close watch on the legislature of its state, and will, in the nature of things, do what it can to influence the composition of committees as well as their subsequent action, and will endeavor in all ways to advance its own interests. But this impression is incorrect so far as it implies that the open friend- ship of a great corporation, or a con- nection with one, gives such prestige to a candidate as to insure his elec- tion, or greatly to aid it. On the con- trary, there is no easier way of arous- ing a prejudice against a candidate which it will be difficult for him to meet, than to charge him with being the candidate of a powerful corpora- tion. Corporations in the abstract are un; o&uhr, although in the concrete— and this 1s especially true of railroads —they are rcgnrdedy a8 the great pro- moters of development and prosperity in every community., The farmer who knows that the railroad has dou- bled the value of his land, the manu- facturer who knows that it has given him ten markets for his goods where he had one before, the business man who knows is has brought him twice his former number of customers by developing and settling the surround- ing country, are nevertheless full of vague fears and hatreds of corporations in general; and there is no surer way of commending a candidate for the legislature, or some other and higher office, to their dislike than to proclaim him a corpo- ration candidate, The recent can- vass of Mr. Depew for United States senator was an instance in point, His ability, his eloquence, his personal rectitude, were acknowledged on all sides. Tt wus well understood that, if elected senator, he would at once sever his connection with the Central railroad, and enter upon his duties with no responsibilities save those which he should accept from the peo- ple. His sincerity in this determina- tion was not questioned. It was, at the same time, evident to every one that the success he had achieved as a railroad lawyer was as clear a proof of ability as an equal success in the man- agement of a lifeinsurance company or a great business house, and it was freely admitted that there was noth- ing intrinsically immoral or dangerous to the public interests in a connection with an important railroad, upon whose proper administration depend, in a greater or less degree, the inter- ests of 80 many thousands of men and women. One distinguished member of the party, ex - Vice - President Wheeler, who has never been thought to be under the influence of corpora- tions, had the courage to say that Mr, Dopew’s success as an attorney for the Central railroad was a good reason for believing that he would make an excellent United States senator, In the sense in which the remark was made it was unquestionably just, But — Mr, Depew was connected with the Central railroad, and that fact prevented his election as senator, The timid men who were afraid to face the anti-cor- poration prejudice of their districts admitted all'these thi that were shown in his favor, and, moreover, saw the leaders of the anti-railroad y in the legislature supporting r. Depew bec:%ua they kunew he would represent his constituents faith- fully. But—he belonged to the Cen- trust in men who are already bought and wear the brass collar of corpora- tions without a blush, tral railroad. That was the whole i dictment, but that was enough. And 80, although for a month of L.llnhna he received a majority of the republi- can votes in the legislature, the twen- ty votes needed to elect him did not come. Every person at all familiar with {m]i(icn of the interior knows that the history is often _ repeated in smaller contests, The cry of Quaker’s ery of “‘mad dog" re to run like wild-fire, and often fatal. Thus it happens that the help of the railroads, to be really useful to a can- didate, must usually be given under cover and with discretion. Tndeed, if voters would but see it, the dangers to be apprehended from this dread influ- ence are not that it will place persons identified with corporations in posi- tions of power, but that it will accom- plish by the arts of indirection and secrecy, chiefly in affecting legislation what it cannot accomplish openly. It seems to be about time to {:;\mnh to the limbo of exploded traditions the idea that a candidate is helped by the open favor of corporations. POLI;I‘ICAIJ POINTS. The republican politicians of Tllinois will pueh Gov. Cullom ns Senator David Davis' successor, it is said. Big thing, this republican party, Freed four millian slaves, saved the Union, elected me senator, ete.—[Miller, The next senate will be considerably doubled up, there being a pair_each of Camerons, Davises, Joneses and Millers, Landaulet Williams, Grant's attorney- general, and ex-Senator Hipple Mitchel are pulling against each other to succeed Senator Grover, of Oregon, The greenbackers of New Jersey are en- aged in an effort to raise a fund of at least g-z,oon for the purpose of procuring speakers and thoroughly organizing their party in that state, There is a rumor that ex-Gov. Throck- morton will head an independent move in Texas, or an organization outside of the regular democratic party, for the gover- norship next year. The longest and strongest editorlal article in The Cincinnati Enquirer (dem.) on the nomination of the state convention for governor is_the following: “‘Book- walter isn’t much of a politician, which ls a great deal in his favor. Good politicians make bad public officers.” Edward P. Allis. of Milwaukee, has formally accepted the greenback nomina- tion for governor of Wisconsin, although. as he says, it was contrary to his express wishes and to his ereat grief, for high as the office Is and great as is the compliment, he does not wish it, even if it were possic ble for him to attain it. Hon, Abernethy Grover, until recently a resident of Bethel, Maine, and a prom- inent democratic politician in that state, i g in Montana Territory, in y to the line of the Northern Pacific_railroad, where he is extensively engaged in farming and stock-raising, He is a brother of Senator Grover, of Oregon. Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, is making an active canvas for re election, and it is now believed that delegates pledged to vote for his re-election will be chosen in almost every county in the state. Mr. Lamar made an elaborate address at Aberdeen. on Saturday last, in which he took occasion to commend the public course of President Garfield in high terms, and to deplore as a great national calam- ity a fatal result to his present prostration. New Hampshire, like New York, is one of those states which is exposed to the plagne of a legislature sitting in hot weather, when people are cross and irrita- ble and less easy overlook the wasteful- ness and puerilities of which all law-mak- ing bodies seem fated to be guilty., The members of the New Hampshire "legisla- ture get together early in June, In for- mer times they used to finish their work in three or four weeks, but the present legislature has already been in session more than fifty days, and the newspapers of the state have just discovered that noth- ing has been done. ‘Water-Ways to the Sea. St. Louls Republican. There is no fact plainer in the course of current developments than the quickened interest felt in the east respecting water-ways from the west to the sea-board. The action of the New York legislature in submitting to the people an amendment to the constitution of that state making the Erle canal free, is but a manifestation of this. The motive of the action is found in the fear of the obvious change of the current which has set in in the grain movement. The Mississip- pi sweeps on to the sea as free as the ocean itself and in volume sufficient to float the commercial navies of all the world. The obstructions at its mouth have been removed, and those which retard its use in the interior are now beginning to be well under- stood and are entirely under the con- trol of practical engineering. It be- comes manifest that from this day forward the work of improving na- ture’sown great artery of our inter- state commerce will goon. It is an apprehension of this which makes free canals a necessity to any compe- tition which looks to permancy or to any important results. Although there was an element in the legislature of New York which re- fused to charge the state with this great burden, it is entirely probable the amendment will be adopted. There can be in the west no manner of objection to this increased facility for moving products of the country to the sea. It will give but another as- surance of a healthful competition. 1t will contribute to bring the European market within reach so that some profit may be realized when prices touch the lowest possible point. But in the very nature of things all that region west of the Mississippi, and a wide portion of the territury east of the river, will go to the Gulf of Mexico, floating with a current which never ceases to roll, and with which the ice of a New York winter never interferes. There will be here no winter, bringing months of delay, as there will be there, whatever may be done by constitutional amend- ments. Le Duc's Tea Farm, Le Duc’s famous tea farm appears to be a miserable sham and a pretense, Commodore Saunders, long connected with the Agricultural department and well known in connection with the National Grange, was recently sent to South Carolina by Commissioner Lor- ing to investigate the experiments in tea culture of which Due had made such extensive advertisements. Mr. Saunders has made his report to Commissioner Loring. He shows that the tea farm is simply one of those exhausted plantations of which the south has so many, literally worn out by successive crops, without care or fertilization. There is upon the place the ruins of an old mansion once oc- cupied by a [ormer governor of the state, and an artificial lake in which there is a drop of water. The money expended by Gen. Le Duc thus far seewms to have been mainly appropria- ted to remove the old ruins and in at- tempting to rebuild the mansion and laying out _an avenue through the grounds. Tt does not appoar what particular relation the expenditure of money for that purpose has to the cultivation of tea. Gen. Le Duc pro- osed to fill up the lake, build an iron ) “corporation candidate” i like the | bridge over it, and possibly to culti vate his tea, planted in pots, on that bridge. The soil, according to Saun- ders’ report, is poor, hungry sand, some portions of which may possibly have once been classed as a poor sandy loam, but it now can support only the scantest kind of vegetation, and has scarcely a trace of loam. 1t is in no sense adapted to tea-culture. Mr. Saunders thinks that the tea ex- periments, if they are to be made at all, should be made much farther south, and he believes that Florida prosents the most favorable condi- tions. He reports that at present some $300 per month is paid for the supervision of $60 worth of labor. The only results of the §15,000 appro- priated by congross for tea culture are to be found on this farm. The place has not even a stable for the mules. Mr. Saunders recommends that the farm be abandoned and that one per- son be retained to take charge of the tea plants already there Dr. Loring will take the matter under advisement.
