The baneful iufluence of railway corporations in Nebraska polifics is not merely felt in the foisting of men as state officers and e« , butin the of public sentiment on medioere and corrupt gresst suppression tho living issues of the day and cs- peeially the transportation question. Tn almost overy convention the rail- n« manage to have one of rond poli their cappers placed in the chair and by his aid they pack the committees and through them suppress every demand of the public for a redress of existing abuses, Six yoars ago republicsn state con- vention met at Lincoln, Gen, Van yek, then a county, moved the appointment of a committee on resolutions, with instruc- tions that they report the platform before candidates were put in nomina- tion, The chair ruled the motion out of order, but some hours later, just before the convention began ballotting for state officera, a committee on res- olutions was appointed with a rail- road capper as chairman. After the convention had concludedall its labors and only some party delegates re- mained, a platform of platitudes, pre- pared in Union Pacific headquarters, was handed up and unanimously adopted as the expression of the con- vention, when in fact even the com- mittee on resolutions had not been in- vited to consider them. Threc years ago the editor of Tue Bee introduced a series of resolutions de- nouncing the extortions of the Union Pacific bridge monopoly in the state convention. They were reported back by the platform committee with- out recommendation, but the conven- tion, after n most exciting debate, adspted these resolutions by a large majority before the full platform was adopted. The attorneys and cappers of all the railroad monopolics from the Dakota line to the Kansas border be- gan fillibustering, and after talking against time for nearly a whole day, they succeeded in freezing the delegate from Otoe Mg. Kirkwoon is too valuable a man yet to be laid upon the political shelt, and Towa will not permit.him to retire from active public service. Haxcock still hopes for the presi- dency. Mr. Hancock will be remem- hered as a candidate who ran in a ve- cent campaign on his shape and got beantifully left Gurreav’s counsel complains that he “finds it difficult to procure witnesses who will swear to his client's insanity. farmers out of the convention. When the convention had dwindled down to about forty delegates, John M. Thurston and his man Hay- ward pledged their honor to adopt the bridge resolutions as a separate pro- position if the advocates of these reso- tions would allow the platform re- ported by the committee to be adop- ted. The concession was made, but no sooner had the vote on the regu- lar platform been taken than the rail- road strikers moved and carried an adjournment. Thus the sentiment expressed by . the whole convention There was entirely too much method in Guiteau's madness. Caprain Howcare has been in- dicted. The captain is as heartily in favor of reform in the republican party as he was last fall when he con- tributed $500 to the democratic cam- paign fund. Mg, KeeNe's horse Foxhall, the winner of the grand prize at Lon- champs, has added another laurel to American stables by carrying off the Cravewitch stakes ot Now Market. Keeene-O has become very popular among English sporting men, Bori the Herald and Republican got the same press dispatches, How in it that the Herald prints from three to four columns more alleged telegraph daily than the Nepubiican? Has the shears of the Republican given out or has their exchange list dropped off.

Last wock the same infamous course was pursucd to suppress the popular voice. In the first placo that notori- ous monopoly henchman and trickster, J. H, Thummel, of Grand Island, was made chuirman of the conven- tion. By preconcerted arrangement Thummel appointed D. O, Brooks, editor of the Union Pacific organ, the Omaha Republican, as chairman of the platform committeo. Although tho batch of platitudes which Brooks re- ported back as a platform were brought down from Omaha, they were not put before the convention until all its other business had been finished and at 2 o'clock in the morning, when nearly everybody was worn out and anxious to retire, Every effort to introduce resolutions bearing upon the transportation ques- tion was throttled by the monopoly capperin the chair and the noisy henchmenon the floor, Just as soon as the meaningless clap trap which Brooks had reported back as a plat- form had been voted the brass col- lar brigade moved an adjournment sine die, which the chairman prompt- ly declared carried. The republicans of Nebraska who do not wear the brass collar, who de- sire an honest and fearless expression of sentiment on the living issues of the day will, wo are confident, never again submit to such disreputable trickery, and when they assemblo in convention in 1882 they will insist that no candidate shall be nominated until a platform has been adopted. THE LATE FAIR. Complaints are coming in from the country press in regard to the man. agement of the late state fair. The deficiencies in the revenues, which will necessitato a draft on the surplus of last year, is made the text for well- deserved comment on the causes which led to the deficit, and the blame is very properly at the door of the man- ugers, There is no use denying that the lust state fair was not u success, It was a failure financially be- cause it was practically a fail- ure as a representative exhibition of Nebraska's agricultural products, Too much attention was devoted to what are called “‘novelty attractions,” wmombers of the New York legislature, protesting against the admission of Senators-elect Lapham and Miller, The ground ot the objection, which was that 8 quorum of the legislature was not present at the time of the «lection of Messrs, Lapham and Mil- ler, has already been discussed in these columns. The senate, very properly, refused to delay. the admis- sion of the members-elect, and they tuke their seats without opposition. " Mexico, and there ouglit ta bo enougn ['derrur cures w ‘ new business Liere to use that amount | brought before the American publi ~of enrvancy in legitimate discounts and too little to the standard exhibits in which every farmer and every citi- zen of the stato is, or ought to be, in- terested, The stock exhibit was shamefully small; the showing in ag- ricultural hall was & sad contrast to that of last year, and thoe total entries were barely half of those at the pre- ceding fair. Exhibitors complained justly about poor accommodations, nd bad management in the care of their chattels. Horsemen who would iy v have been glad to haveentered the trot- ting races declined hecause the purses offered no indncements. The public who could not be fooled by newspa per puffery staid away. With all these drawbacks the cxpense of con ducting tho fair wore nearly double of last yaar, part of the managers is the only rea- wonable explanation, Tf its officers had devoted their attention to work- ing up an interest among our farmers would have induced them to we should have Groms ineficiency on the which make entries had a fair which hoth a financial success and a matter of pride to the slate. The state board of agriculture owes it to itsclf to make a thorough over- hauling of the state fair management. The old rirg seemed bad enough, but the new ring is worse than bad. Our state board of agriculture can not af- ford any longer to scale premiums, cut down purses, and cancel debts by drawing upon present or expected sr. pluses. Nebraska will not remain si- lent while the best opportunities for advertising her resources arc thrown away. morc would have been FARNHAM STREET PAVE- MENT, Whenever any individual or cor- poration procures authority from this city to lay down gas or water mains, sowers or culverts through any of our streets or alleys, the ordinance grant- ing such privilege always expressly provides that the parties undertaking such improvements must leave the streets in as good a condition when their work is completed as they wern hefore the excavation is made. When this city grants the privilege to any individual or corporation to construct a streev railway through our streets it is presumable that the same condi- tions would be exacted. This just and reasorable requirement has been most shamefully violated in the case of Farnham streot. Gas and water mains have been laid by the score. When the work was completed the macadam lLas been thrown into the trenches to pack down as best it may, causing serious inconvenience to the public and even danger to the lives and limbs of our citizens, Itis high time that action should be taken by our street com- missioner or city council to put a stop to this outrage. At the present time Capt. Marsh is overturning the street to lay tracks for his horae railway and a gang of men are toaring out the stones and crushing them into pow- der with pick and shovel, When Farnham street was paved the horse car company, of which Capt. Marsh is the refused to, bear the expense of paving the portion of the street occupied by its line. The entire burden of a costly im- provement was saddled on the owners of Farnham street property. Mr. Marsh shovld now be forced to re- place the macadam which he is tear- ing to pieces without 8o much as ask- ing “by your leave,” and to leave the street in 88 good a condition as that in which he found it. The pro- miscuous shoveling in of clay and stone will not do. The unsightly and dangerous holes which deface Farn- ham street are the result of just such criminal negligence. 1t will be the duty of the street commissioner to see that the street is left in & passable condition, and that somo other end shall be subserved than the disposal of the few hundred tons of dirt and stone which remains after the tracks have been laid. Such a pavement as that on Farnham street is a disgrace to a city of the siz¢ und pretentions of Omuha, but while it remains our city council should insist that it be not rendered still worse or destroyed by the penur- ious nogligence of gas and water com- panies and street car lines, owner, Tho delay in the opening of the Otoe reservation is one of the in- scrutable things. There is a secret society here in this region, which claims to have its head in the gov- ernnont land oftice. Each member pays in 825, The victim is told that one-half of this sum goes to the offi- cials in the land office. ~ Latterly some have inquired how such an arrange- ment as proposed can be effected. The answer given is that the govern- ment officials will mark all the tracts which shall have been solected by the society ay “taken,” and refuse to allow any one else to enter it, It also said that these parties are assured that the appraisers to be appoiuted are in the rig and will appraise the land so low that there will be seculation in it. 'These rumors, involving as they do the officiuls at the Beatrice land oftice and the proposed appraisers, are of sucha nature as to demand investi- gation. ~[Wymore Reporter, The charge made by the editor of the Wymore Reporter, if true, is a scrious one, It amounts to an accusation of the gravest fraud and dishonesty on the part of * the oficials of the Beatrice land oftice. The Otoe reservation, for whose opening hun- dreds of citizens of Nebraska are waiting, contains some of the finest agricultural lands in the state. The Otoes have been removed for some time past to their new reservation in Indian territory, and nothing remains but the appraisement of the lands be- fore they will be thrown in the open warket. The interwinable delays which have taken place have aroused 10cod1w suspicions of fraud, and currency is given to charges of corrapt collusion speculators and the land betwoeen office. If thero exists a ring whose object it is to swindle the government and the people by grabhing up valuable lands at give-away prices, it should at once be uncovered. Tue Beeknows noth- ing about the alleged land ring, but if there is the slightest foundation for such a charge an official inquiry should Iie promptly ordered by the secrotary of the inter —_— Dri. Tromas, the Chicago Methodist preacher who has obtained consider- ation notoriety by holding some orig- inal views upon the interpretation of the Scriptures, has been found guilty of heresy and sentenced to oxpulsion from the Methodist ministry and from the membership of the church. Dr. Thomas labored under the great dis- advantage of heing above mediocrity, and of knowing the fact. Other and perhaps wiser men thought in private as he did upon what they considered non-essential ditferences In creed, but refused to voice their views in the pul- pit. Dr. Thomas, however, expounded his peculiar ideas from the platform, obtained a large congregation and a wide popularity, and has paid the penalty, ‘It is not likely that his sphere of usefulness will be contracted, for that he was useful in his profes- sion not even the bitterest of his op- ponents is prepared to deny. Like Professor Swing, who left the Pres- byterian church a few years ago, he will probably organize a congregation and preach to crowded houses, From a financial point of view it pays in these days to be a leretic, and Dr. Thomas will find himself no exception to the rule U to the hour of 2 a. m, tho elec- tion returns from Ohio are very mea- gre. The independent voter ssems to have been very numerous, and scratched tickots in the larger cities outnumber the straights. A much lighter vote was polled everywhere than last year, which is not unusal, because presidential elections always draw a full vote. Governor Foster is howover re-clocted —by what majority it is as yet impossible to estimate. Fize and flood seem to go hand in hand along the Inkes. Michigan is Jjust recovering from the effects of her destructive forest fires and news comes that the river is rising at Prairie du Chien, that great destruc- tion of property has already taken place, and that travel will be inter- rupted for some weeks. For river rises the Missouri can give any other heavy odds and take the pot at the end of the game. Tae Lincoln Jowrnal has advices by the grapevine telegraph that ex-Sen- ator Paddock is the coming man for socretary of the interior. We have reason to believe that President Ar- thur entertains a very friendly feel- ing for Mr. Paddock, but we doubt whether Nebraska will be accorded a position in the eabinet for some years to come. NesraskA will be represented offi- cially at the Yorktown centennial by Judge Amasa Cobb, who has boen duly commissioned by Governor Nance, and is already on his way to the historic grounds, which he had oc- casion to visit during the ‘‘late cn- pleasantuess® as a brigadier in blue, Land Laws. New York Sun, Why is it that it is necessary for the British'Parliament to puss a law regulatting the rent of Irulumll And why is it that this Trish law is believed to be only the \vwvur-«nr of similar law to be enacted for England and Scotland? The cause which has forced on this mighty change in British legislation is simply the swift navi- ation of the Atlantic and the intro- uctiou of American beef and mutton into the old country. As long as the tenant farmers of i}nglnnd Scotland and Ireland controled their own mar- kots they got payihg 'prices for the beef, mutton and pork which formed their principal products; and thus they were enabled to pay the heavy rates of rent which were exacted for the laud they leased; but when, through mcreased spoed of ocean transporta- ticn it became practicable to import beof and mutton from the United 8, whether on the hoof or slaugh- tered, and to sell the same in the British market at the prices of Texas and Missouri, adding only the charg for transportation and insurance, the British ot Irish farmer, with his dear land and high rates of rent, found him- self suddenly brought into competi- tion with ‘the farmer fof Texas is Missouri, where the price of land or only nominal and the rato of rent g | comparatively tofling, Hence the whole trouble in Ireland and else. Such s the cansewhich is rey- ng the United Kingdon, pe ducing its productive value and render- ing it necessary for the Legislature to come in and make new settlements be- tween the land-owner and the tenant, Ttis agreat and a far-reaching revo- lution, and its extent and consequen- ses have only begun to be apparent. Anti-Monopoly the Talisman. New York Graphic, The nnli-munu}mly party is essen- tially the party of the people, and it bears witness to & return of wisdom that even a faction of the Democratic party of to-day has returned to the aith of the fathers in the people as against the monopolists. Tamumy hall descrves prase for tho stand it has taken on the monopoly question, The people are tived of the cry “pap,” fwo yoars, and if she should become the half way house between Chicago ‘“‘pap,” “pap,” from Republicans and Democrats alike, The only issue among politicans at the present time las Btse., VUmuauun, o) seems to he patronage. Tt is high time that we took anew departure Anti-monopoly is one of the pressing issues of thoday. Tt is foreing its way to the front, and the politicians who desire to bo on the winning side had b make haste in making their choice. They cannot much longer serve the people at the same time. They must choose between money and popularity. The line cannot be drawn too soon, and every person aiming to become a legislator are compelled to say where Lo will stand in the great struggle between the people and the monapolists, PERSONALITIES.
