Tan timo is rapidly coming when there will be no middle ground in Ne- braska between monopoly and anti- monopoly. Mr. Kirgwoop refuses a place on the Mormon commission.

The gifts of the state de- partments often temper the wind to shorn official lambs, E—— Tuomas ArieN who died on Satur- day in Washington was the woalshiest citizen of St, Louis. He constructed over 1,000 miles of railroad during his life-time, and was for -oany years “ president of the Iron Mountain rail- way, His property is estimated at oyer $10,000,000. Tae royalty extorted from manufac- turers of barb wire by the Washburn- Moens monopoly amounts to $7.50 upon every mile of fencing. Ben Butler is after the firm with lus war- paint on and if the suits to annul the patonts succeed, no farwer will grudge him a handsome feo for his services.

The nomination of Worthington to the Boston collectorship was made by the pregident in the face of mo " THEIR LATEST DODGE. Oountry papers throughout the wost as well as in New York state, and several publishers of patent in sides, are being furnished with well written articles in opposition to na- tional and state railroad legislation. These contributions are written with an appearance of candor and & pro- fuse display of statistics which tend to mislead and confuse the reader, thus accomplishing the purpose for which they are gotten up, Tt might as well be understood by our farmers that the articles referred to came from the Monopoly Literaty Bureau, in New York. This institution s eupported by the railroads centering in that city and ita only object is to counteract the rapidly swelling tide of anti- monopoly sentiment throughout the country. The writers are often bril- liant young men who prostitute their abilities for corporation gold and dis- tort facts without rega.d to any con- sideration but that of earning their salaries from their railroad employers. The monopolies appreciate the power of the press in awakening senti- ment and in educating the expression of the popular voice to the wrongs under which the producers of the country are suffering. The growth of anti-monopoly has been fostered dur- ing the past five years by a few bold, honest and fearless journals of wide circulation throughout the country, which have dared to brave the threats of the corporation attorneys and the attacks of monopoly bravoes,and which could neither be bribed nor bulldozed from the self-imposed labor. When other esorts failed, the corporations betook themselves to purchasingjour- nals outright and endeavoring to coun- seract through their editorial columns the effect of the anti-monopoly jour- nals. The result of this experiment has not been entirely satisfactory. It has generally first shown itself in a rapid decrzaso of the subacription list and a corresponding decrease in the weighs of the journal as an exponent of public opinien. The people de- mand of a newspaper in return for their support that it shall bo consei- entious in uttering its convictions and free from all suspicions of bribery or corruption in its editorial conduct. And on these accounts the public has rofused any hearty support tothe known organs of monopoly. And so the last resort of the astock gambling railroad magnates is the or- ganization of literary bureaus to fur- nish brains tor country editors who are inclined to be friendly to the. cor- porations, and through which to smuggle into the columns of opposi- tion papers insidious articles against any regulation of the railroads by the people. As soon as the public recog- nizes the fraud it will refuse to be im- posed upon any longer. And Ne- braska is too well informed. upon the struggle between the corporations and the people to furnish a good field for the labers of the National Monopoly Literary Bureau. SOUTHERN PROSPERITY. secm to be enjoying a season of un- usual prosperity, Tradeis coustant- ly increasing, commerce 18 advancing with giant strides as new lines of rail- country from Virginia to the Gulf, Manufuctures have taken a firm hold and politics is becoming less a staple of conversation than corn and cotton, Last year the southern states pro- vious one, coal and iron lying heretofore un. worked ia the mountains of Tennessee and other adjacent states, The south is beginning to prosper because it is beginning to desire to prosper, and the less gectional it be. comes the more cosmopolitan will be the character of the foreign invest- ments made in its undeveloped inter- oste, Witniam E, Cnasorer, nominated for secretary of the navy, was born in Ooncord, N, H., in 1835, He gradu- ated from the Harvard law school in 1865, and devoted himeelf for the ten succeeding years to the practice of law, being reporter of the supreme court of New Hampehire from 1859 to 1865. He was also a momber of the state logislature in 1862, 1863 and 18064, being twvice chosen speaker. In 1865 he was appointed judge advocate general for the navy department by President Lincoln,and soon afterward he was made first assistant secretary of the treasury, from which offica he resigned in 1867, Since tten Mr. Chandler has practiced law in New Hampshire and Washington. Daring the campaign of 1808, 1872 and 1879, he did active work for the republican party es secretary of the national committee. After the election of 1876 he took a prominent part in pre- venting the democrats from capturing the elucteral votes of South Carolina sad Florida, and was an important witness in the cipher dispatch investi- gation in 1878 and 1870. At the Chicago convention in 1880 he sup- ported Mr. Blatne, but voted for Mr, Garfield on the last ballot. In March, 1881, he was nominated for solicitor general, but his coufirmation was op- posed by Attorpey General Mac- Veagh, Senator Camerom and all the democratie senators.

On May 30, 1881, the last dayof the session, he was defeated, an adverse majority of five being ob- tained by the absence of the New York senators, Senator Mitchell’s failure to vote and the adverse vote of Senator Cameron and all the demo- cratic senators, —— BOURBON DEMOCRACY. The bourbon democracy is surely and rapidly disintegrating. Striking proofs of this fact are accumulating in every direction. The Mahone re- volt in Virginia, the Georgia uprising under the leadership of Felton, and the conflict between repudialors and debt payers in Tennessee afford posi- tive symptoms of approaching dirso- lution. Even Mosshacked Missouri is beginning to realize the approach- ing change. r A few days ago The Post-Dispatch, a paper that has ranked as one of the leading democratic organs of St. Louis, issued its declaration of inde- pendence and deliberately abandoned the bourbon camp. We cannot do better than reprodyge the editorial from The Post-Dispatch that explains the motive that impels its publishers to the change of base. It reads as follow: “After all it is not a violation of the proprieties of the English lan- guage to speak of the democratic party as ‘a putrid reminiscence.” It scems to belong to a past era, and its lead it such a ritle is applicable to the shrivelled mannikins who flourish their batons at the lead of the scrsggy columns—are determined that the organization shall never be brought abroust of the times, The party has had no general and harmonious prin- ciples since the war period.

Lixcoun, Aprit 9.—The late rainy spell has been of incaleulable benefit to the farmers of Lancaster county, as probably to the other sections of the state. Many of them have been in rathcr straightened circumstances the last year and need a good season to help them out. Salt craek is ris- ing rapidly and threatens to overflow the bottoms, though it can do no par- ticular damage here, The Lincoln Herdic line, which has been losing money steadily for its propri tors ever since its atart, has finally been withdrawn, The experi ence at St. Joe, Kansas City and HY OMAHA DALLY BEF: TUESDAY APRIL 11 1082, whole letter of the Jaw and published daily for two weeks, while the remain- der only published two days Among | those who had ordered tzeir applica- tion in for two weeks was John Brandt, proprietor of Turner hall and | Metz's hall, but after he had paid for his advertisement with a check on the First National,he stopped payment on | the check and never has paid or even tendered payment for his advertise- ment since that day. Brandt procured his license in this advertisement for which he never paid, and the other liquor dealers, who had failed to comply with the law secured theirs also. Among these were one or two who never adver- tised in Tue Ber at all in spite of the law, and now when the second appli- cation for licenses was made, a new scheme was started to beat Tur Bre out of the remainder of the fee. That old reprobate and ex-preacher Baldwin, worked up a club of forty- three liquor dealers, who united on one application over his name as at- torney. Some of them were for six months, some for three months and some for a year, and yet the applica- tion does not name the time for which they have applied, and is in many other respects irregular. After Tur Ber had virtually waived other places has been of a similar character, They are not a paying in- vestment, James Laid has been here for two days past to see what kind of a dis. trict waa to be cut out for him in the western portion of thestate.

Between these various issues the legislative candidate's lot is likely to be anything but a happy one. The contract for building the new wings to the insane asylum, which was let to J. J.

Baldwin's et. A day or two atter Baldwin’s élub. list had appeared in T Ber Mr. E. Rosewater sent a personal notice to twenty or more of the parties on that list notifying them that he proposed to test his right as publisher in the courts and would enterprotests agains. several, and would in this connection fight out all the other points in which they were in conflict with the law. These notices were sent in order to ‘ziva the parties a chance tc proceed egally with their applications. It is Mr. Rosewater’s intention now to make test cases not only upon the question of publication, but upon the $1.000 license and other evasions of the law that have been practiced here He has chosen Brandt because of the mean treatment by that man and while he has no personal fecling as against Hornberger, ho is compelled to make at least one other test case, and Hornberger, perhaps, will answer as well as any other dealer. When these cases are brought into the court they will necessarily involvo all the liquor dealers in the city and they will probably be pushed into the su- preme court for final decigion. GENTEEL STAR VATION. How Many Families Starve and Keep a Carriage. The other moraing when ihe News reporter went into the butcher shop on Third avenue, immediately around the corner from kLis boarding honse, to deliver a pathetic message from his sick landlady, he met a splendidly costumed female coming out as he was going in.

A Plain Statement of Facts. Owing to some delay in muking out the papers in the cases, the license board did not complete its work until yesterday. It is understood that they have issued licenses to every one of the apphcants except those against whom protests were on file. The hearing for these cuses has been set for 10 a. m. to-day. A brief resume of the facts con- neoted with the centroversy concern- ing the liquor license protests may now be i order. The Slocumb law, in section 2, provides that no action shall be taken upon the application for license until at least two weeks' motice has been given by publication in the paper having the largest circulation in the still further to feast his eyes, he saw her step into a carriage at the curb- stone, which was speedily whisked trose dashes up to the corner grocery store in her carriage and orders a small measure of potatoes and a bar of suap to be sent home, and grandly rides away again. You may see her servant on the avenue almost any morning on her way to the baker's shop to buy and pay for one loaf of bread.” “Of course, the servants do not like this sort of thing. They usvally stay a month, get their month’s wages and go. TIf the servant can’t stand it a month and leaves before thé end of it, she does not get any wages.” A widdle-aged female entered the shop at this moment. She was dressed in a shabby black. She ecar- ried a small marke!, basket. She be- gan inspecting very earnestly a round of beef that lay on the counter. ‘It is not quite far enough in,” she said at length; **bat you y cut me a pretty thick sice off there.” The butcher cut off the slice wrap- ped it up aud gave it to the customer, who went away. ‘‘You trust her?” ““That's Miss Smith; a very differ- ent kind from Mre Montrose. She gets the yery best porter house steak in the snop. She waits until the cut is just right. If it is not far ensugh in, or verges toward the sirloin, she won't have it. And she pays prompt- ly every week. Why, she and her cat consume more good meat than all the Montrose family—father, mother and two daughters—do together. She is an old maid, a dressmaker.

She always comes back atarved or dyspeptic, or both —at least she says so. o I tell you,” continued the butcher, flouriahing the knife whereby he had just cut the porter house steak, ‘‘one- alf the people in *his cil; don't know how the other half live.”—[Now York News. Mr. Pendleton’ Cleveland Leader. The Cincinnati Enquirer makes known the fact that a “well-develop- ed, full-fladged Democrat Presiden- tial Bureau” has been established in Washington in the interest of Senator Pendleton. John G. Thompson 18 represented to be principal in charge. The work of the Bureau thus far has been confined to feeling the Demo- crati pulse and ‘‘booming” Mr. Pen- dleton as a Civil Service reformer of the first water —in fact, the claim is made for him that he is the genuine Simon-pure original Jacob, This as- sumption is rather laughabie in view of the fact that Dorman B Eaton, George William Curtis and other gen- tlemen of like charactar put the Civil Service reform ball in motion, and were, as we have reason to know, the rcal authors of Mr. Pendleton’s bill. But Mr. Pendleton is smart euough to claim the bantling as his own and to make out of it what he can. Of course, whatever he does has a Democratic ob- ject 1n view. This he has been hon- est enough to admit, although it was not intended that the aimission should gain circulation among the Republi- owns.

The well groomed horses with their shining harness; the black titled, green-coated, silver buttoned and white gloved coachman; the highly K;Li-he carriage, with its gleaming ps and windows; the whole equip- age, in truth, flashing in the morning sunlight, seemed like a splendid vi- sion from the world of dreams. When it had sparkled and shimmered out of sight, and was lost in the common crowd of vehicles, the reporter turned agam into the butcher shop. As he did so, the butcher brought a huuk ot meat from one of the hooks and flung it on the next round block at the cud of his counter. Seizi pair of meat axes, he began hacl ing away to make mince meat thereof in an unmistakably spiteful and vi- cious fashion, ““That is what I call gorgeous poy- erty,” looking up and nodding to the reporter, ‘I'he butcher, it may be remsrked, is an old school fellow, who had the usual presidential longings during his early years, but developiug consump- county or city, as the case may be.

He had found the corrective. Ohio Senator is being well played, and that Tilden, Bayard, Hendricks, Mor- rison and other prominent Democratic aspirants for a Presidentisl nomina- tion had better ‘‘keep their weather- eyes skinned, or Pendleton will suc- ceed in winning the Democratic tur- key.” The fact that Jongee is run- ning the Bureau augurs nothing in fa- vor of Mr Pendleton’s success, but the latter is also represented to be on the alert for “the fellows who fix up the primaries,” and whenever one such visits Washington he receives a little note saying. ‘‘Senator Pendle- ton would be happy to have with him this evening.” 'T'he wine and terra- pin make a good impression that Gen- tleman George is a royal good fellow.” Mr. Pendleton may achieve a certain degree of success by operating upon the stomachs of Ohio Democrats, but his Literary Bureau will prove a dead tailure. Tilden tried one in 1876,and Bookwalter in 1881, but in neither caso did it“operate to advantage: Both were beaten, and in all likeli- hood will never secure a political re- surrection, The Democracy are not a literary set of fellows, and the chances are that Mr. Pendloton will make the same of a failure.
