Railroad attorneys confidently as- sort that the Reagan bill is already killed in the congressional committee room, to which it was referred, and laugh pleasantly over the prospects of another measure introduced by Mr. Converse, of Ohio, which is intended to prevent the consolidation of rail- road companies and to prohibit pool- ing compacts, Mr. Conve lawful for any railroad company, for the construction of which the United States have granted land, right of way, franchise, or any other thing of value, to consolidate its line with any other parallel or competing line of road or roads, or with any parallel or competing line of boats or water route transportation, either by act of con- lease, running contract, or otherwise.” It also de- clares that it shall be unlawful for any railroad or navigation company, 's bill makes it ““un solidation, purchase, over which the United States may rightfully and constitutionally exercise jurisdiction and control, to make any arrangements or agreements which shall in any respect prevent or pro- hibit competition in treight or passen- ger traffic, The bill has two designs. The first provision is drafted to prevent any union of the rival Pacific railroads. Its second wection will reach every rail- road and navigation company in the country, The power of congress ts constitutionally exercise ‘‘legislative jurisdiction and control” over the entire railway sys- tem of the country] so far as it joins states by lines of transportation, has been distinctly affirmed by the highest courts of the country. The same principle applies with equal force to water lines. Congress would long ago have asserted its authority if it had not been controlled for years by an unscrupulous and powerful monopoly lobby. The corporations have their agents and retained counsel on the floor of both the senate and house. They are reinforced by a strong auxil- iary force of corruptionists in the ho- tels and lobbies, and between the two it has been easy enough to draw the strings 80 as to prevent legislation hostile to their principals. Mr. Converso's bill is not likely to pass. It will probably never come up for final action. The committee rooms generally prove the graveyard for measures which corporations op- pose, and this measure is likely to meet the fate of a number of its pre- decessors. But the time is coming when the country will rise up as one man and sweep from their places of reprosenta‘ive trust the men who are betraying the confidence of their con- stituents, belying their own convic- tious and selling their very souls for the corrupting bribes of the corpora- tions who are robbing and plundering the producers of the country, the community has ‘perfect conti- dence. : Tae wealthiest member of congress, Thomas Allen, of Missouri, is lying at the point of death.

None of these will be affected by the anti-Chinese bill. These coolie brethren at home are preparing toship from Hong Kong, evading the law by registering as British subjects. EEEp— A ruask of the labor problem has been very sensibly dealt with by the Massachusetts house of representa- tives, which has passed a bill com- pelling manufacturing corporations to pay their employes as often as once in two weeks, It is claimed that frequent pay days encourage frugality and temperance, and attention is drawn to the fact that in the Fall River mills, where payments are made weekly, there is much less drunken- ness than in Lowell, where the men are paid off every month, SE————— Tuar contingent congressman scheme which Val is trying to engi- neer through the house doesn't mest with any more encouragement from the press throughout the country than it will from congress itself when finally brought before that body for OLEAN THE STREETS. ' While the demand for paving is universal in this city it would be well if more attention were paid to keep- ing clean the streets and gutters which are already paved and guttered in Omaha, A heavy layer of mud covers the macademized surface of Farnam street and clogs up the gut- ters of both Farnam and Douglas streets, When the spring rains come the cellars of a score of stores and warehouses will be flooded. The street cleaning force of the city is not large but if property owners would joln in scraping together the filth from in front of their stores it could ensily be carted off and disposed of under the direction of the street com- missioner. 1n Paris the cleaniug and sweeping of streets is made a matter of special tax, Paved streets require a8 constant cleaning as mud streets need repairing. The cost of cleaning every street is estimated and the real estate pays for it at so much a front foot while the city does the work, Under the old rule in vogue in that cleaning of continental cities each property owner was required to keep clean his pavements and one half the streets in front of his place of busi- ness or residence, Every morning the dirt was swept in piles and re- moved by the city carts, Of course such a plan is only prac- ticable in a4 city in which paving is the rule and not the excep- tion, a8 in our own. Still, much of the dirty appearance of our streets could be avoided if our citizens would comply with the city ordinances, A large quantity of the garbage in our streets is thrown there from stores and houses, and there is no attempt made on the part of the city authorities to prevent the offvnse, Our alleys are in o frightfully filthy condition, littered with papers, rags, ashes, vegetable cans and rubbish of every description, which, with the approach of warm weather, will be a dangerous menace to the health of the adjoining resi- dents, Mr. McCammon, U, 8, commissioner of railroads has been studying the exist- ing relations between the Paoific rail- passage. The Bu Louis Republican Bays Giving Nebraska an additionol rep- oesentative right on the heels of a new apportionment which will right all wronge, is & monumental absurdi- ty.

The effort to array the business men of Omaka against workingmen in the coming city election, is in many re- spects deplorable, The workingmen of Omaha are the bone and sinew, the brain and brawn of this city. Most of them have little homes and’ pay more than their proportion of the taxes as compared with the men of wealth and big corporations. Near- ly all of them have staked their fu ture upon the growth and prosperity of Omaha. They have come here with stnall means, to build up homes for themselves and children. They are identified with every interest this community has or may have, They are members of your churches and Their societies, in the public by side with the children of the merchant and the manufacturer. And yet the corpora- tion papers and designing politicians talk about them as if they were beasts of burden, cannibals, or hard- oned criminals. The Republican re benevolent children are schools side your of which a considerable percentags are conducted in connection with gambling and prostitution. If the business men of Omaha would organ iae to close those haunts of vice in- stead of arraying themselves against the working people, they might d the city some good And now a word to the working- o men, and all who labor for wages in Omaha. Act prudent show the corporatians and the men of wealth that you are as competent to exercise the sovereign suffrage of American citizens as they are. Support no candidate for office who has a bad record, whose reputa- tion is stained by bribery, fraud or lawlessness, Support no man that has proven dishonest in public offico. Vote down every proposition that would increase the power of corpora tions. Do nothing that you would be ashamed of in the future, Prove by your conduct that vou are the peers OUOCIDENTAL JOTTINGS.

We hear of citizens’' meetings got- ten up by ¢ irporation managers and supported by brass collered editors who have becn ready at any time to sell themselves soul and body, and he proposes to reash for the ripest persimmons. The Chicago Times re- marks that, ““Mr. Frank Hatton, of Burlington, eke of Wathington, has a dual pesiticn. As assistant postmast- er general ho edits the United States mail, which has a very large circula- tion. As a Burlingtonian he also edits The Hawkeye, the circulation of which isn't so large. Between the two his time is fully occupied. That there is an intimate reiation between the important posts may be discerned from the fact that as chief of The Hawkeye he has 1ssued a circular no- tice that he has transferred his man- aging editor of The Hawkeye to the management of the Burlington issue of the United States mail, and has conferred the management of The Hawkeye to somebody else. Mr. Hatton has an onerous tasi but he makes the duties dovetail . ith neat- ness, sacrifice the most vital interests of the city at the beck of the monopo- lies. Two years ago the working men of Omaha saved these capitalists from falling into the hands of the Holly water sharks and jobbers, whom The Herald and The Republican were supporting with might and main, Last year the working men rallied round the business men to squelch Hascall. Are these working people less entitied to confidence uow, and are the business men of Omaha so blind as not to see what the corpora- tion managers are driving at? Do they not comprehend that the main object of this present contest is not to prevent the workingmen from con- trolling the ci'y government, which at best they cannot as long as Mayor Boyd and six councilmen hold over, but it is the entering wedge to defeat the effort to check grasping monopo- lies and particularly to destroy sym- pathy between workingmen and busi- ness men, 8o that: the business men shall henceforth be mere hewers of wood and carriers of water for the big corporations, We ask the business men to pause, reflect aud count the cost of this sort of warfare, Lot them remember that Omaha cannot grow and become a great city without a large body of mechanics and laborers; that Omaha cannot afford to have two classes of citizens arrayed constantly against each other in deadly hostility without serious danger and damage to all classes. There may a day come when the business men will need the work- ing people to save themselves from corporate oppression. 3 There was a time, not many years back, when Omahu bankers, mer chants and manufacturers organized a citizens movement to protect them- selves from monopoly extortion and discrimination, and when they had to depend on the working people and the farmers for electing men to the legis-l lature that represented their interest and the public interest, rather than the interests of the railways. In those days the workingmen of Omaha were Mexico is making a great fuss over the discovery of *‘a railroad pass near Jimapan which will obviate formida- ble engineering difficulties.” Thedis covery of railroad passes in Nebraska near Lincoln about the time of each legislative session has become so com- mon that it 18n’t even thought worih mentioning. Or one thing both working men and other citizens of Omaha may be cer- tain. The best ticket 's going to come in the coming city election. Party lines will be very loosely drawn and the candidates in whom people have confidenco as upright and re- spectable men will be voted for by all classes of good citizen Crr1zeN Brooks will pleass explain to the Stalwart Republicans of the state why the Republican bolts the Republican City ticket befoze the convention has met. A FLYING MONSTER. The Creature Alleged to Have Been Seen by Two Brutte County ‘Woodchoppers. Gridley Herald, Thomas Campbell and Joseph How- ard, two woodchoppers working in the timber five miles northeast of Hurle- ton, in this county, mforms us by let- ter of a singular creature they saw flying through the air last Friday af- ternoon, They write: ‘‘About four o'clock Friday afternoon last, while at work, we were startled by the sound of many wings flapping in the air, Looking up, we preceived pass- ing over our heads, not more than forty feelabove the tree tops, a crea- ture that looked something like a orocodile, It was, to the best of our jud ment, not less than eighteen feet in length, and would measure two feet acrots the body from the head to the tail, a distance of probably twelve feet. The tail was about four fee’ long, and tapered frcm the body to a point prulub?y eight inches wide. The head was in the neighborhood of two feet in length und the jaws (for its mouth was opon) could not have been less than sixteen inches long. On each side of the body, between the head and the tail, were six wings, each projecting between eighteen inches and two feet from the body. not regarded as the ‘‘criminal classes, oxcept by the editors that wear the brass collar, and they were then as bitter and abusive about the bankers and merchants as they now are about workingmen, While thesolid men of Omaha are appealed to, to or- ganize against the working people, not a word has been said about a more dangerous element thatdemoralizes our politics, We refer to the low doggeries and dens of vice and infamy that are permitted to flourish in the town and exerciso & more potent influence in ward primaries aud city elections than working men do. licensed in defiaice of all law, and the solid mayor of Omaha with all his police force does nothing to proteet the community aganst that influence, There is also the so called merchants and manufacturers union, which played such an important part in last year's oity election, and is quietly preparing for another onslaught. About New Year's day, when the Slocumb law went into eflect, we were promised a mow departure in morals and eobriety by Rev., Mr. Sherrill and other min- isters on the assurance of our mayor, but April fool's day will show that in- stead of fifty saloons licensed in January, we shall have licensed ninety saloons, or thereabouts, These haunts are| As near as wo could see, these wings ‘wore about fifteen inches broat, and appeared to be formed similar to a uuck's foot.

In fact, when the shot struck, we heard the bullets rat- tle as though striking againsi a thin piece of sheet iron, The object was also seen by a nuwmber of Chinamen working near us, who w.re badly frightened and fled to their cabins.™ This is the fiest time we have ever heard of such a creature as this; bu our doformants are ecludle men, hence we canuot doubt their stats muls, em—— Bucklin's Arnica Salve, The Besr Sauve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Uicers, Salt Rheuw, Fever ~ores, Tetter, O apped Hands, Chilblain-, Corns, and all skin eruptions, and posi- tively cures piles, It is guaranteed to give satisfaction or money refunded.
