The board of trade very properly decided that there was no reason why our merchants should pay half the cost of building a street car line for Oapt. Marsh, eepecially as there was no inducements held out in the promise of reduced fares or extra privileges, Couxciuman Benm calls our atten- tion to the fact that Sunday was the twenty-first anniversary of the mustering into service of the First Ne- braska regiment. On the 19th of June, 18061, the various comp:nies gathered on the bluffs, whero the pre- sent Canfield Houso is now standing, A full complement of men and oflicors ‘were present, every company answer- ing to the roll with one hundred men. None wore uniforias excepting Com- pany A, from Plattsmouth, which, under the command of Captain Living- stoue, oxcited envy by sppearing in & costume of blue jeans, with oil cloth hats in the continental style. The mustering officer was Lioutenant after- wards Genoral Morrell, of the United Btates army, and General John M. Thayer commanded. Theservice of the = ¥irst Nebraska in the war was arduous and highly creditable. From the in until it was A SHAMELESS GOUGE. The true inwardness of the recent sharp advance in overland freight rates by the Union and Central Pa- cific roads has come out. The rail- froight business between New York and the Pacific coast. As th void the competition of a traflic arrange- | ment with the Pacific Mail company, Those firms who agreed to ship all goods by the rates to an exorbitant figure, all rail route, received special con- tracts which ran for a year at a time. | By this action the monopolies forced | many eastern merchants to use their | route and eut down to a corresponding » tho traflic by water. ble goods, or those wanted for prompt deg Perisha delivery, were sent across the conti nont, most of the dry goods dealors taking advantage of the spocial rates, while dealers in iron and hardware continued to ship by water. The late advance is an attempt on the part of the railroads to coerce the hardware and manufactured iron trade to stop shipments by clipper ships. A half a dozen of the loading New York firms had refused to contract for the exclusive shipments of frelght over- land and had furnished nearly one third of the tonnage to the Clipper lines to San Francisco, Late last month the California Fast freight line which controls the through land shipments for the Union and Central Pacifio railroads advanced the tariff rates on hardware and iron goods of all kinds from $89.60 to $134 40 a ton. As an inducement to exclusive rail shipments tho company offered all merchants who would bind them- solves to ship no goods by water a special rate of $£66 The indigna- tion oxpressed by the New York iron trado over this high handed outrage is very great. The trade recog- nizes that if the companics succeed the clipper ships will have re- coived their death blow, and that in this event the railroads c: 1 advance their rates to whatever figures thoy pleaso without fear of competition, The railroads are confident of success in compelling the surrender of the non-contracting firms, and boast that if thoy are not successfal they will get handsomo profits on the goods which the merchants will be compelled to ship by rail. Ratea by elipper ships are now from $10 to $12 per ton as against the 8506 specinl rate demanded by the raiiroads, and ship owners say they will reduco them still lower in order to retain their patrons. Incidents like this show the crying necessity for government control of inter-state commerce. There can be no redress in cases of the kind except by a published tariff of rates with which the companies must be forced to com- ply. The entire special rate system is a fraud and swindle on merchants who aro not thus favored. The sooner the peoplo Awaken to the daugerous tyranny which is now supremo in the country the sooner will measures for the redress of grievances like the one mentioned be passed by congress. Tuk virtuous indignation of Sunset Cox over political ssscssments is laughable. To hear tho New York ropresontativo and his colleagues on tho democratic side of tho house of representatives inveighing against the assossmont plan of collecting cam paign funds, a greenhorn might supposo that tho syetem was peculiarly partisan and confined to the republican party, A look at New York city whose gov- ornment is heavily democratic will at onca dispel the illusion, There are 8,000 office holders in the city, and the salary list including the fees paid the city officials amounts to about $14,000,000 annually, The democratic purty in Now York assesses all effice holders five per cent. and two years ago the sum reported as collect- ed was $700,000. Oity contractors, and railroad corporations having valu- ablo privileges for which they paid nothing, were also laid under contri- bution, The nomives for sheriff was assossed §156,000, register $15,000, county clerk $15,000, supreme court judge, common ploas judge and supe- rior court judge $10,000, and a ecore of minor ofticials $5,000 each, The wrong of assessing federal office hol ders.

This accounts | for the activity of the small-bore poli- tician, who is beginning to shout anti- monopoly with a gusto which puts the members ot the Karmera' Alliance to the blush. Itis time that these gen- qualifications for a candidate in the coming campaign will be somewhat different from those of other years. Momborship on a county comn.mittee, the ability to control a score of votes, and a few raonths’ experience as a third-class pottifogger in a law offico ought no longer to be the only essen- tials for a party nomination. They will count less in the coming campaign than formerly. The farmers have grown tired of delegating their powers to others and propose to take a hand in politics themselves. They should call for a new deal in the selestion of candidates to represont their interests in congress, in the state government in the legislature and in the county court houses. They have lived too long on the premises, and pledges of the small bore politician and the time has came when new material ought to bo chosen. And in the flrat place overy candidate should be subjected to the tost of a good reputatlon. Society 18 never very far out of the way in its estimate of a man, particulacly if the individual has lived any length of time in the community which judges him. A reputation as a man whose word is as good as his bond, who has priuciples and is not ashamed to own them, and whose abilities, if not of the very highest order, are not per- verted in the interest of fraud and dishonest dealing, is worth more as a guarantee of a candidate’s future con- duct than any amount of brilliancy of intelloet joined to a weak will and a bad reputation. A good citizen is a safe porson to whom to intrust the making and executing of the laws for his fellow-citizens. And a clear record in the past is the best assurance of an upright course in the future. There will be plenty of political barnacles and doad beats who will seck nomina- tions and election at the hands of the people of Nebraska at the coming elcction, These men are already be- ginning to explain their records and assert very loudly their strong adher- ence to tho cause of the producers of this state. Our citizens will do well to fight shy of all explainers. In politics, the man who excuses himsell in nine cases ot of ten accuses him- solf. The in the coming choice of the people canvass should be made from men of intelligence, Thoy should bo men of reputation, whose records are free from all sus- picion of alliance with corrupt mon- opolios, dishonost offisials or corrupt rings. ‘They should be men in whom their neighbors have placed confidence because in every day life they have proved themselves worthy of econ- fidence. With a ticket of such men the small bore politicians can be rele- gated to their old place in the corner stone to wake way for men who have had perhaps less political experience, but possess groator qualifications to make themselves good and useful pub- lic sorvant Secar RoBESON thinks thero is too much ‘‘gold lace” in the navy.

Mr, Van Wyck’s Interview With the Postmaster General, Associated Press, WasHiNgToN, June 16, —A few weeks ago Senator Van Wyck heard that tho postmaster of a little office in Nebraska was about to be removed, and he protested against it. The man was, however, removed during the senator's absence. Upon his re- turn he called upon First Assistant Postmaster Goneral Hatton and learn- ed that it had been done upon the re- _ommendation of *Congressman’ Majors—an additional cougressman whom the people of Nobracka have been electing on the ground of their large population, in the hope of his admission, In the meantime Majors’ credentials had been rejected by the house committee, The uew postmas- ter had resigned after a fow days’ service, after learning how small thy compengation was. Senator Van Wyck euggested that the old post- master be reinstated, and Mr. Hatton promised that this should be done. Tt was not done howover, and Wedues- day Senstor Van Wyck called at the pastoftico department to see about it. He was informed by Mr. Hatton that the matter had been referred to Post- master General Howe, and was re- quested to go into the latter’s room ! y law contemplates publica.] . o impression that the Southern Pacific|tion in & medium th:’t rm';:- lt‘:e cilman Behm enlisted as the drumm.r | s working to establish an export mar- | great mass of citizens, ket at New Orleans for Oalifornia|stance, aud seo about it, Senator Van Wyck did so, finding the postmaster general at his desk, and two or three other gentlemen, including Secretary Teller, aleo present. The interview is re- ported by the New York Tribune cor- respondent to have been both inter- esting and amusing. The senator made known his er- rand, and Mr, Howe in reply made some criticism upon the senator's course in the senate. *‘What's the matter?’ queried the senator in surprise. 2 “‘Why," rejoinod the cabinet ofi- cer, ‘‘you don't stand by your friends.” _ Sy “] do stand by my friends,” said the senator. “&hn do you meani” | “Well, how did you vote upon the Worthington case?’ **Oh, didn’t vote at all upon that. 1 was absent. 1 was opposed to Worth- ington, and did all 1 could against him. 1 paired. What next?” “Well, how about the Buckner case! The senator did not recall the Buck- ner case at once, having been absent from n when it was brought up This was the case where Mr. Wilson, an internal revenue collector, holding the highest grade in the service, was removed after being two_years in of- fico, to make room for a Graut man. When the postmaster general had soncluded his catechism, the senator, who, though cxceedingly good natured, has no hesitation in exprese ing his opinions in unequivocal terma, turned vpon the questioner and said: “This yunts for the delay, does it? I want to know if you intend mo to underatand that becauseI vote accord ing to my convictions in the senate my suggestions are to be unheeded by this administration? Is that what you mean! I it is, tell me ao plainly and I will never darken your doors again, I just want to know the fact, so it may be made known to my constitu- ents that, simply because of my votes in the senate, their representative is to be denied all influence in the de. partments under this administratfon, “Why,” interposed Secretary Tel ler, “that's what Huyes did for me because T didn't support his nomina- tion ““And,” shouted this now indignant senator, “‘You called him a dirty, sneaking loafer for it, didn't you? That's what my opinion is of this” ad- ministration, if this is a specimen of its policy. How is it with your depart- ment (addressing himeelf to Secretary Teller)? I want to know all about this thing. We are interested in a fow land offices in our state. Am I to come and see you or stay away?"’ Secretary Teller, who was about leaving the room, rejoined: ‘‘Oh, come over and see me about them by all means,” Turning sgain to the postmaster- general the irate senator continued: “So you keep spies upon us, do youl And you take the word of sneaks who violate their oaths and come here to lie about us. That's another reason why I want the executive sesrion abolished. T tell you thereis no need of any epies upon me. All I do is open and above board, and you can know all about it by asking me,” With that the senator bade thae post- master-general good morning and de- parted. The Century for July.

With the greatest pleasure. Gen- eral Garfield, more than any other man, represented the great principle of popular republican rule against autocratic boss rulo. He reprosented the free, independent convictions of the people againsta coerced third term; the reliance upon reason instead of upon force as the law of political action; the equal rights of all republi- cans as opposed to the proscription of any element. He died defending the principle of elevating the public service instead of prostituting it to tho ends of faction, and mnintaining the just and even hand of the goveru- meut against an attempt to stalwart- 126 it. As a leader in congress General Garfield was distinguished for his cou- stant appeal to the public ju rather than to mere machine st The issue crystallized iu the Chicago convention, That graud ultimate tii- bunal of party policy was a strogele between the free wiil of the paople, on the one side, and the arbitrary power of the bosses ou the other. General Garfield was the recognized leader of the popular priaciple, and he became so pre-eminently the embodiment of this cause that 1 the end the convan- tion instinciively turned to him as the best solution of its contest. As Pres- ident General Gaiti-1d still repr ed the sa Ho re; f making ths | spoils of any faction driving wheel of any machine, and acted upon the principle thay ervics the evenly distributed in a party sense and unexceptionably in apublic ssuee The struzgle which culminated ia his death was a struggle agal the attempt to force the boss sys the president as well as on the aund he died defending the prine of the independence of the exeeunvi an well as tho independence of the people.
