Fitch, correspondentand solicit Laxcorx, Oct. 16, 1881. “To the Editor of Tix Ban, Why don’t you hoist the republican state ticket in the editorial columns of your daily ? A STALWART. The custom of printing the party ticket at the head of the editorial col- umns is no longer in vogue among the leading dailies of the country—even in national campaign years. The po- litical views of every metropolitan pa- per are well known, and it 1s tacitly understood that each party supports its party candidates unless it expressly opposes them. The BEe is a republi- can paper. It has vigorously sup- ported the republican ticket in every national campaign, and, with the ex- ception of Valentine and Carns, every republican candidate on every state sicket since 1t was founded. the following coramunication was sub- mitted and the request embodiod therein promptly granted: Fremoxt, Neb., Oct, 14th, '81. o the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Fremont: Gentremes: Iam instracted by the Lincoln & Fremont railway company to withdraw the proposition to build & line of railroad from Lincoln to Fre- mont, via Wahoo, in Saunders county. At a recont election held in the precincts of -‘fmmlom county through ~which it was proposed to build the Lingoln & Fre- mont Railroad, the people refused to give the aid required; although this action on their part will cause some delay and necessitate a change of the present survey, making the road be- tween Lincoln and Fremont about two and u half miles shorter, yet I am confident that with a reasonable amount of aid from yonr city, the road will unquestionably be built within the next year. I therefore reepectfully ask that you repeal the ordinance sub- mitting to the legal voters of Fremont the question of issuing bonds to the amount of $35,000, to be voted on the 17th of the present month, and hope to be able at an early day to submit & proposition more favorable to the in- terests of the people of your city. Very reapectfully, 8. B, GaLey, Sec'y of the L. & F. R. R. This is & specimen brick of bulldoze and blackmail, to which railroad con- struction rings always resort when the people refuse to 1ortgage their homes to them as a bonus for their benevolent enterprises. So the Lin- coln & Fremont railrond project is temporarily laid on the shelf to afford the engineera time for shortening the line two and a half miles, and thelegal voters of Fremont, who were so anxi- ous to vote a $35,000 mortgage on themselves, this very week will have to forego that pleasure for a fow months longer. very sad the people of Lancaster, Dodge and This is indeed & turn of affairs —but 'In the present “mP'i'n the BER| g, dors derive eonsolation in tho has expressea satisfaction with the re- atbustubo that the Foad #Hll be Short- nomination of Judge Maxwell, but, in view of the fact that he is as well ened two and a half miles. Down in Saunders county it is well known as any public man in Nebras- ka, we did not deem it necessary to enlarge upon his past history or his record. The game is true of the Republican candidates for Regents of the University, Inasmuch as the Democratic nomination of competitors is a mere matter of form and the only question is one of majorities, anactive campaign on behalf of these candi- dates is not necessary. We have just received a circular letter from the chairman of the Re- publican State Committee, and as a matter of information for the guid- ance of Republican electors, we call attention to the fact that the full names of our candidates, should appear on the local tickets, are as follows: For Judge of the Supreme Court, SAMUEL MAXWELL. For Regents of the University of Ne- braska, LEBBEUS B. FIFIELD, ISAAC POWERS. S —— VexNor predicted a dry fall. Any further comment on Vennor is unnec- easary.

These threats did not seem to have the desired effect on the stubborn Wahvosiers, and Mr. Galey now pro- poses to whip them in by the sham withdrawal of the proposition at Fre- mont, coupled with the threat of shortening the line two and a half miles. In this game of blackmail and bulldozs, the construction ring of the Lincoln and Fremont short line is fol- lowing closely in the footpaths of the credit mobilier ringsters, that built the trunk lines across the continent. These highwaymen commanded the people of every town along their line to hold up their hands and deliver up the deeds for their depot grounds and mortgages upon their homes, under the ,threat of having the road located a few miles on one side with a rival town to check their growth and destroy their prosperity. It was just by such a damning game of blackmail that Omaha and Douglas county wero robbed of nearly $1,000,- 000, and the proceeds of our bonds were finally used to build an elegant The samo infamous tactics were played upon the peoplo of Columbus by Jay Mge.

Mr, Doane is a thorn in the democratic monopolists' flesh. Denver journals complain that *‘skin” and vencered houses are being erocted in prominent streets of the city.

The main object of the capitalists who propose to operate this new road after the construction, ring has squeezed 8126,000 out of the counties through which it is to pass, is to com- pote with existing roads for local traffic. They can only compete suc- cessfully by building their road rough the most important local laurols, SeE— trade centers in the country trav- ersed, Ifit is true that this road will “Garu” is mo longer a wegular [ become an extension of the Chicago ¥ Vashington correspondent, but there | and Northwestern and Elknorn Val. ar ©anumber of letter writers at the |ley line, then the road is bound to be vital who could give both Gath and | built without a dollar of subsidy.

Tt was eminently in accord with the eternal fitness of things for an expert incendiary, who, if he had his deserts, would to-day be wearing azebra suit, to take such delight in offigy burning. It is also ©'ninently propor that embezzlers and, fire-fiends should assume the cham,pionship of a man who swindled h’,mesteaders and robbed the tax poa‘ers of this state by lobbying a back pay steal of 1,860 through tha egislature for services he never petformed. THE IRISH SITUATION. No oné noed any longer accuse Mr, Gladstone's ministry of a policy of masterly inactivity towards Ireland. The blow struck at the Land League by the arrest of Parnell has been fol- lowed by the rearrest of Dillon and imprisonment of Quinn, Sexton and Healey, all leaders in the land move- ment. The troops throughout Ire- land are under arms. Every garrison has been reinforced. The principal offensive points are covered by loaded cannon and armed men of war patrol the coasts and protect the harbors, Ireland is in & state of siege, garrison- ed by a force against which opposition is dangerous and resistance certain death. Mr. Forster, under whose depart- ment the supervision of Irish affairs falls, has announced his intention of forcing the land league into subjec- tion to the law at all hazards. Asaf- fairs have recently stood throughout Ireland, the suthority of the crown has been practically nullified and the law of the league has been the only authority respected or regarded by the Irish people. According to the view taken of the matter by the con- servative party and finally forced for adoption upon the cabinet, theland bill which cost the ministerial party forty whig votes and the services of three of their leaders, was in process of ab- rogation through the organization of which Mr. Parnell is the head, Lib- erty of speech had degenerated into license and contempt of the law into opposition to the crown. Under the cloak of land retorm a movement was in propress for complote separation from England, and the consequent disintegration of the British Empire. With these charges ringing in their ears the ministry determined to save: themselves from, partyZ disaffection by changing their policy to one of bold aggression, and dealing a powerful blow at the Land League through the arrest of its most influential leaders. The ex- tension of the coercion act to counties not already included under the provi- sions, the strengthening of the sol- diery and the reinforcement of the garrisons were the matural conse- quences having fortheir object the re- pression of excitement and the over- awing of the people. Mr. Gladsone having entrered upon his policy of coercion will be forced to carry it out at all hazards. It may be as most of the English journals seem to consider it, a political necsesty. Experience will alone prove whether it is not also a grand political blunder. Mr. Gladston has in times past proved himself able to resist popular clamor in pursuing a policy which he considered best for the in- toreats of the nation. He showed that he lost liitle of this trait of character, so rare in modern states- men, when he fought the late land bill through a lukewarm house of commons and a violently antagonistic poerage. It is a serious question whether in the present instance he has not yielded to a clamor which would have died away when the trae aims of the men against whom it was directed had been ascertained. The leaders of the Land league are in prison, but the Land league still remains, its organization unbroken, its ranks apparently unshaken. Other men have stepped into the positions vacated by Parnell and Dillon, by Sexton, Healy and Quinn, lreland may be temporarily cowed, butno one believes that she is subdued. The Gladstone ministry may gain a few votes in Whig boroughs, but the Radical element is scarcely likely to be sirengthened by such a summary and high-handed exercise of authority a818 now in progross. And with the certain extension of the franchiso to the poorer classes, » reaction against government by brute force will cer- tainly make itself manifest at the pollsin & manner which will more seriously detract from the strength of the liberal party than can be set off by any gains secured through a policy backed up by bayonets and enforced by the suspension of the great safe- guards of constitutional law and equity. o When the democratic party in con- vention assembled fails to awaken en- thusiasm by retailing the well worn ‘principles” of its timé honored organ- ization it falls back upon sheer cheek fill out their platforms. The late ‘ntion that assembled at Albany ntion to this rule in its following astonishing " and imme- ~r-route Yaral Bee | uj treasury, and the vigorous presecution —already too long delayed — of all par- ticipants. both high and low, in these grave crimes, whereby the moneys of the people were stolen from the treas. , and plunderers were made to pro- vide a corruption fund which was used to carry the Jast presidential election for the republican party. Every democrat who voted for this reeolution knew perfectly well thata thorough and immediate investigation of the “‘star routes’ was begun within a week after the inauguration of Presi- dent Garfield. They were aware that this investigation was begun by a ro- publican postmaster general, aided by & republican attorney general and sanctioned by a republican cabinet and prosident. They knew that un- der the greatest difficulties this inves- tigation has been vigorously prose- cuted for seven months until the cases are now ready for trial with a mass of evidence sufficient to conviet the offenders. They also know, . though they probably did not care to reflect very long upon the fact that tho “star routea” were investigated by a Demo. cratic House of Representatives in two successive sessions, and that all parties accused were triumphantly ac- quitted. TIn the view of such facts it is the boldest hypocrisy for the Demo- crats to call for a thorough and im- mediate investigation of the atar route frauds. They will certainly fail in making any political capital out of such a display of cheeky assump- tion. It has always fallen to the share of the Republican party, not only to expose the frauds of Demo- cratic administrations, but the failings of their own, and that they have done both thoroughly, is one of their great- est claims on public confidence. Trz retirement of Secretary Kirk- wood from the Interior department is to be regretted-if on no other grounds, because the appointment of a successor may prevent the carrying out of the plans which he had mapped out for a rigid investigation into its various offices. This is particularly the case with the land office, which is in need of a thorough overhauling, and to which Secretary Kirkwood was about to direct his attention, The pension office was also under inspec- tion, but the general opinion is that the great leakage in this bureau of the in- terior department can only be met by a closer inspection of the methods of making up claims by ex parts testi- mony throughout the country. In the Indian bureau, however, where Mr. Kirkwood has had an op- portunity of acting, aftairs have been administered with a dispatch and suc- cess which is highly creditable to its head. The Ponca difficulty, over which the department and a band of eastern . fanatics bhad heen fight- ing for nearly two years, has been settled to the satisfaction of all parties ascertained. The Northern Cheyenne trouble has been arranged by the transfer of the band to the Sioux country and the removal of the Utes has been accomplished without bloodshed or further parley. For a department as notoriously slow in its operations as the Interior de- partment these achievements in such a limited space of time as seven montha are quite remarkable and Mr. Kirkwood must receive the credit of an enorgetic administration of affairs. It isto be hoped that his successor will catch some of the spirit of the old Towa war horse and carry out the re- forms contemplated by Mr. Kirkwood in other bureaus which are seriously in need of immediate attention. Tug recent rise in confederate honds in Europe i¢ mccounted for by the Now Orleans Democrat by the state- ment that there will soon be applied to their payment $7,000,000 deposited by the Confederate government in the Bank of England before the war. According to the Democrat this sum has been drawing interest all the time, and Secretary Seward tried to draw the money from the bank but failed. This story is sheer nonsense. There are no good grounds for the state- ment that any such sum was ever de- posited by the Confedsrate govern- ment, and less grounds for making out on behalf of the bondholders any valid claim for the amount if it was in existence. The fact that at the outset of the rebellion the Confeder- ate government stole ten times this sum from the United States makes any disposal ot the remnants of their public plunder the receiving of stolen property It should be handed over to our government, if in existence, and used to pay pensions to the sol- diers and widows of men who lost their lives in the rebellion, The hold- ers of the bogus bonds have no claim whatever on the amount, E— Now that the star route business is on the decline, some eof the “‘noble charity” benefactors will besioge Congress with achemes for subsidizing costly wagon roads through the re- gions inhabited by coyotes. A new wagon road is projected from Fort Washakio to the Yellowstone park which the projectors are willing to conatruct for the trifling sum of $50,- 000, Inasmuch as Congress has al- ready appropriated a good many mil- lions in public lands to construct rail- roads into Montana through that re- gion, and these railroads are now be- ing vigorously pushed, there will hardly be any pressing necessity of voting 850,000 for a single wagon road from Fort Washakie to the Yel- lowstone park. If such an appropria- tion was made thig winter it would take another appropriation of $100,- 000 the very next session to keep the road in repair Tur New York election mere than that of any other state is likely to show the effects of the ‘“‘off yoar” in politics. The first day's registration in New York city and Brooklyn was less than half of that on the first day of last year, and 3,000 less than on the first day of 1879. In such cases the falling of is invariably to the disad- vantago of the republican party. Chris. Hartman is doing a good deal of active buttonholing. It is all in vain, Chris.
