There is nothing #kich the railroad strikers fear s0 mueh as a campaign fought cqually on the anti-monopoly issue, because there is no ground on oorations which they have created. Every railroad political manager and eank and file of Nebraska voters in both parties are largely anti-monopoly. Every corporation attorney knows from experience that a political candidate with monopoly connec- tions will be heavily handicapped in the coming campaign just as soon as the attention of voters is directed to his record. And every official or em ploye of the railroads whose interest demands the continuance of the pres- ent disgraceful monopoly rule in the bination of Nebraska producer on a square out and out anti-monopoly platform, This is the reason why the monop- oly attorneys and political wire pullers are attempting to divert attention to side issues such as prohibition and woman suffrage. Tt is an affecting furnaces and harvest fields were on the same day. It is not from any sympathy for the men who stand up and pummel each other with pil- lowed hands that this style of exhi- .nomlnmunm.u.u which they can battle to so little ad- | bition should be stopped.

[Response by the Editor,| The anti-monopoly league adopted a platform at the state convention held at Lincoln in June which em- bodies among other resolutions the following: Resolved, That we demand the en- actmont of a law that will make the tender of a railroad pass or free trans- portation to any public oflicer a bribe punwhablo in the eame man- ner us the tender of money or other articles of value. resolution was framed by the editor of Tur Bee as a member of the committee on resolutions, and in- serted in the platform at his request. It is absurd to charge the author of this resolution with speaking against ritorics. A number of our leading werchants were in the party, and- it is hoped that the interchange of courte- sics between Nebraska and Montana business men may result to the benefit of both gections, Omaha wholesale trade in the territories shows a steady and healthy development, which indi- cates both the growth of that portion of our conntry and the increasing facilities of this metropolis for meet- tie commercial demands of the vest Divisiox of property as well as di- vi.ivu of labor tends to the general prorperity. This is showing itself very clearly in the south where the old plantations with their thousands of acres ure giving place to small and well cultivated farms, Georgia has increased the number of her farms within the last ten years by ninety. eight per cent., and now contaius over 15,000 of sgricultural holdings. The same process is noted in a less degree in Virginia and Alabama the result in «wach case being better cultivation and larger crop, Western farmers learned long ago ihat one hundred acres well cultivated was better than two hun- deed with half crope, The Butler county delegate evi- dently refers to the remarhs made by editor of Tue BEE in response to the wholesalo attack on the press by one department of justice, with its vast machinery throughout the country, to which the atturney general must give his personal supervieion cannot stand still while a ocase is on trial in court, That Mr. Brewster has committed the star route thieves into able hands, while himself retaining full supervis- ion and authority, is seen by the strong case presented by the govern- ment. Theevidence was clear, straight- forward and conclusive. Not a point brought out has been broken down by the defence. And nothing but a fixed jury and a further liberal use of mouey can save the scoundrel from the penally of their crimes. Neither Brady's brass, nor Dorsoy’'s bravado or Ingersoll’s flippancy will avail for a moment against an honest jury box. And even if justice fails in the Wash- ington court the great jury of the American pouple will render a verdict which while condemuing the thieves will thoroughly acquit the government of either innction or inefficiency in tho conduct of the present cases. Tue Herald is eminently correct in its estimate of the future growth of Omaha, and its advice to Omaha cap- italists to construst solid and eccmmo- dious buildinge, modelled after met- ropolitan structures, is sound, But the Herald exhibiis its usual tendency to toadyism by lauding to the skies certain men of means, whom 1t al- ways delights to homor. In com- menaing the favored few it omits others who [are equally meritorious, This was conepicuous iu its sky- scraping about the enterprise of the Omaha National bauk, while ignoring the Nebraska Nation baunk, which is now erecting a bank building whick will surpass all others in metropolitan elezance and eol In 18 always prudent to lock the door aftor the horse is stolen. Now that the river and harbor job has passed over tho president’s veto and ocongress 1s about to adjourn for the season, it is decidedly in keeping with the eternal fitness of things that a resolution has been introduced in the house looking toward the adoption of of the delegates, who charged the edi- tors with being bought up by railroad passor. — THERE are to bs no more boxing shows in New York. The police commiesioners of New York have de- cided that there shall be no moro glove fights there under police pro- tection, A glove fight, such as the Snllivan-Wilson contest, is by no means as & six-day walking match, Every workday evening thousands on thousands of poorly paid, over- workod, half-fed shop girls drag themselves wearily along New York streets to their homes and no thought is given them. Yet any one of them is a hundred times more properly an object for pity and commiseration than is the defeawd pugulist in a soft glove fight, When Wilson and Sullivan met not a drop of blood was drawn and not a bruise was eue. tained by either. The men were very tired at the end of the fourth round, but not any more so than a hundred thousand workingwmen in a constitutional amendment that will allow the president to veto any single item in an appropriatton bill. Such an amendment to the national consti- tution should have been enacted years #go, but as long as & majority of our ¢ resswen are interested in jobbery L lepeuds on omnibus legislation, t'¢ uspee's for such a reform are dec.aedly slim, Keiver was unanimously renom- inated in his district, and now Robe- son’s enemies are wonderiug whether his fences are in such thorough re- pair, Tne Political Situation, Many things to increase our wealth and prosperity as a people have de- \'_elupegi along the highway of civiliza. tion, since the introduction of the nineteenth contury, and beyond a duu\?t! tha_ greatest of these is the facilities given commerce by the intro- dugtion of railroads, The wealth of a unation is indicated by its commerce, and the commerce of & nation has al- ways boen, should and must of neces- eity be regulated and controlled by the government, for if this power is delegated or left to individuals or cor-) porations it gives them the pewer of unlimited taxation upon all pro- duction or commodities moved by them; hence it gives them the ability to arbitrarily gather to them- selvos all the per cent of profit justly be'onging to the labor and capital en- gaged in producing every article of commerce, with a power to enforce unjust taxation as great as that of the dungeon or guilotine. For it is as trie to-day, as eighteen hundred years ago, ““That all & man hath he will give for his life, Thus they may bind the people down to constant toil, causing them to drag out a miserable exist- ence, while they draw the wealth of the people to themselves that this 1 our condition to-day as a nation is fully proven by the fast increasing wealth of those who have control of our finance and commerce, while the prople are wading to their arm-pits in mortgages and other signs of indebt- eaness, Therefore what we need as the devoteos of industry, is & return to our landmarks, by compelling through our representatives, a govern- ment control of those things so vital to the peoples intereat, enforce a great- er improvement of our water-ways, the great natural highways of com- merce, stop the diserimination against them as practiced by railroade, com- pel the latter to give individuals and without fail to that political and social contempt he 8o richly de- serves) we will then soon teach the corporations and their vile tools that the people are yet masters of the sit- uation; showing political aspirants that, in order to be trusted by the people, they must first honor them- selves by honoring the principles of their party and the people. Then let every member of the Alliance and Anti-monopoly league, together with all who now see the now existing ¢nd threatened evils of monopoly rule, hold mass meetings, talk over the situation, reason with one another and the people, and thus awaken the yet indifferent, showing the necessity, and urging all to adopt the action of State Alliarca and Anti Monopoly League, aud by a united effort, and « determination that knows no defeat, resolve to restore popular rights, and thus preserve our liberties, and secure the future prosperity of our country; with present parties if we can, with- out them if we must, S. V. Morsk. All papers friendly to the cause of the people please copy. S.V. M. Those Indictments. Just about a year ago a menber the legislature of the state of No York rose in his seat and stated that he had been given $2,000 to vote fora railroad candidate for the United localities equal facilities and just rates for transportation. The only way un- der our form of government that the corporations can retain this usurped power is by political corruption, There is a part of Washington’s ad- dress which desoribes, as with pro- phetic vision, our situation to.day. Heo says: ‘‘All combinations and as- sociations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to con- trol, direct, counteract or awe the regular deliberations and action of the constituted authorities are destructive to the fundamental principles of Uib- erty, and of fatal tendency. How- ever, combinations and associations may now and then answer popular ends They are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men may be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and ueurp to themselves the reins of government.” In view of all these facts, who is 8o stupid as to deny that the real design of corporations 18 to direct, control, counteract or even awe the regular deliberations and actions of the con- stituted authorities, when they sur- round our legislative halls, both state and national, with a host of lobby- ists, composed of the unscrupulous talent of the state and nation: to search out and attack every weak point in the characters of the people’s rep. resentatives, in order to corrupt and deceive them into a support of their vile schemes, Have they not in afew instances openly threatened judges of the courts with their displeasure if they decided against them, and once 80 bold, may it not happen many times n secret? The combination of capital has greatly served popular ends, and in our advancing civilization has become a necessity, and if the men controll- ing it were honest, or even wise for themselves, they might control in such a mauner as to have it continue to serve them and populer ends. But if they are ambitious and unprinci- pled they will not only use their cunning to absorb all our sub- stance. But in secking and securing the power to do so they will destroy all personal freedom, corrupt the people and debase the nation by ruling it with an army of bribe tak- era, Are they cunning, ambitious and unprincipled? Yes; they aro the first in seeking to hide their real motives, management and extortion from the people. They are the second, in sceking to retain the power of unlimited taxation, with which to enslave a nutron, That they are without principle is fully proven by their acte; in their forced combina #ons to destroy competitions; in their stock gambling of overy species; in their diecriminations against per- sons and places, to the destruc- tion of individual property and the advancement of their own; in their stock watering and forced ext rtionate rates, by which they have taken unjustly, from the people, enovgh mongy to build every mile of railroad in the uation; in their muny acts of usurpation, aud their open acknowledgment of having a fund(gotten by extortion from the people) devoted to the vile purpose of corruptly nominating and electing to ofticial position men who will do their bidding. Kellow citizens of every party ! 1f we are going to permit this class of men to run the parties, and through the pardies the nation, then let us be conslstent by tearing the declaration of independence from the high and honored position given it by our fathers, wrap it in the blood stained bauner of freedum and cast it in the dust with its offspring, the constitu- tion, where with the blood of mar- tyred freemen, they may be trampled under the feet of selfish and unprin- cipled men and thus reveal to our children the humiliating fact that they are not the sons and daughters of freemen, but a nation of serfs; that they may prepare to win again by the sword that which their indifferent and cowardly parents surrendered, States senate; that he had taken the money, had handed it to the speaker and requested an investigation, The speaker corroborated the state- ment. An investigation was erdered, a committee was appointed which prosecuted the work thoroughly until they came across some facts which promised to he awkward for the party to which the majority belonged, when money--and the juryof public opinion rond:’rod an adverse vergic’c. If they had only asked that the power to ex- pand or contract the currency be taken from the bankn, by the govern- ment issning all currency whether coin or paper, and thus saving for the people the interest upon the circulat- ing medium now absorbed by the banks, it might have been different. 4. They lacked means, and bave been the prey of lobbyists and other buyers of men, who, with money fur- nished by tho old parties, have pre- tended to pay its expenses. These men have been promoted to leader- ship, and a¢ the critical time have be- trayed the cause. Men who do not work and have no visible means of support, except alloged Wall street veutures, are not safo leaders for the people Another mistake has just been mads by the greenbackers of New York in adopting in a rdified form Henry ¢e's land theory;these may be un- ood and appreciated a hundred ats henc-, but they will sink any canse which attempts to carry them at this time. No new party can afford to make mistakes, and especially such grave ones, A new party, to be successful, must appeal to all classes of people, No one class can succeed alone, and consequently it must not ask more than the average public cpinion will sustain, 1. Tt must havo honest loaders with | some means, and, while it is impossi- ble to keep out all who are venal or selfish, they must not be allowed to conerol, 2. Until it gets strong enough to go alone, it must join forces with other orgsnizations to elect the right or defeat the wrong kind ot men. Re- they turned the whole matter over to the grand jury of Albany county. The grand jury inade another investi- gation; the charges of bribery were proven and an indictment was found against Senator Lorin B. Sessions and one Edwards, a lobbyist. It was given out at the time that these indictments would e vigorously pressed, but a year has passed away and they have not been tried, and it is now whis. pered in political circles that harmony in the republican party demands that there should be no washing of dirty linen in public, that corporation inter- eata in both parties object on general principles to stirring such things, and that there are enough prominent rail- road men high in councils of the dem- ocrats to prevent the rank and file of that orgamzation kicking up any row about it. Ts this true or not? ~Cer- that the “New York Tri- bune” aud the “New York World,” claiming to berespectively the leading republican and democratic newspapers in this state, have been wonderfully unanimous in expressirg the opinton that Mr. Bradley, the member of assembly who exposed the bribery, was a very bad man, while Senator Sessions, who was indicted for the bribery, was a spotless lamb, The power of monopoly influence in existing political parties 18 shown by the fact that Bradley, the man who exposed the bribery was retired to private life perhaps the best abused man in the state, while Senator Sessions who did the bribing, had the assur- ance to stand as a candidate for re- nomination, came near securing the prize and is now prominently tlllf\d of as the mostavailable candidate congress for his district. Why all this honor for an indicted briber! Why this hanging up of an indictment? ~ Echo answers, Why? But a very faint sub-echo, supposed to come from some communistic Anti- Muno_pulinr, answers, because it was done in the interest of corporations, and they have so corrupted the public senso of right and wrong that it will stand anything now-a-days. JusTICE, A WOMAN'S ArPEAL. To the Editor of Tirs Lkx: 1 hope you won't bo partial to Gzo. Estabrook and put his pices in tho pa- per and not mine, I should like to say a few words on the hated subject of woman sufftage. 1 don't think any woman wishes to voto because she thiuks it would be a plessure or that any honor is attached to it. They wish justice, and as they don’t get that by those who claim to be their protectors, you kuow the law 18 not the same for the widow as the widower, whether the woman has children or not, You aleo know that a lady doing the same work in the same hours does not get the same wages as men, Is that justice! And in many waya the laws are partial to the male citizen, Now if women are as helpless as you ray, why don't their protectors do justice by them and make equal laws in every ro- spect, 80 they would have no cause to ask for ballor, Tf they waut all the power why don’t they protect the weak nobly and manfully? Tam tho protector of my child, but T won't dress in silk and clothe my iunocent child in rage, or feed it on the crumbs while I eat the daintics, merely be- cause I have the power over 1t. No, I would rather suffer and let that helpless one have plenty., Women are treated in law like inferior be- ings, and I have often wondered how they could be mothers to beings so much superior to themselves. I have often noticed that the male child If not, then lot us be wise in time, by laying upon the altar of liberty every political, local and personal in- terest, and make common cause in driving every monopoly tool from posi- tion in our parties, state and national governments, eud 1n our unorganized condition, The course proposed by the cilicers of the state alliance and anti-monop- oly league, is beyond doubt the wisest. Let all the anti-monopolists attend the caucuses of their respective parties snd demand the nomination of men of undoubted anti-monophst prineip- les, coupled with integrity and abil- wy; for the monopoly tricksters, when they fail to get their choice nominated, seek to foist a man upon us, who, if elected, will be as little in their way as possible. If in a republican districy they succeed by trickery and fraud in nominating a man who is doubtful,then call an anti- monopoly convention, make & nom- ination, and all auti-monopolists, irre- speotive of party, support that candi- date; and if a democratic convention, do the same. With this as our avowed purpose, and when necessary carried out to the letter, (and he who proves false to our trust consign hiwm nearly always looks like its mother, while the girls look like their father; still it is generally supposed that the girl 18 not equal in intellect or in any other way to her brother, The men say 80 and the law freats it s, As far as going to war is concerned, when that time comes you will find as sults are what the people want, and they do not care through what party they are secured. The monopolists have, in comparatively few years, built up the present system of class laws by these very tactica. The anti-monopolists propose to adopt these tactics and endeavor to reatore a just equiltbrium. If a party grows oaut of the movement, very well; but they do not care for any party or any man—they are simply trying to avoid the mistakes of the greenback-labor party and give the people results.
