RFLIEF FOR THS PEOPLE A fow dsys sgo the organ Burlington railroad at Lincoln taunt ingly called upon the anli-moncpely loaders to ‘‘spesk out ana toll what muarurca they have in store for the ralief of the people.” Thin challenze was reeponded to by a republican anti- menopolidt as followr: L. Wabay tax railcouds according warket value, without ) oferance to farms to iccamirance, jast as you tax and morchondise, 2.

Tois s tho position of lerding ani- monopoll:ts in a nut shell. The man at the end of the crank si Lincoln nearly dislocated his elbow and buret an artery in grinding out chaff to blind the pecple as to the real fots at issue in the above prop sltion, oat n! feast th Bee. 2 | branoee, 1| Theso ronds pay taxes on from ten to (| aloven thousaud dollars per mile and of the | T ave hecn aseensed st their market | | Vi | W6 in (he same manner that farms, | houses and cuattels are 2 The | market valas of property is not wha its owier will usk, but what parties | who desire t; parchass are willing to | pag. Tho market value of a railroad, like tho market value of a horse or a bale of blankeis or a bushel of grain, is worth what it will sell for in the The two leading roads in Nebraska sell in the markets of Boston and New York at from seventy to eighty thousand dolla:e per to from [ public markete, mile, without reference vary to fifty thousand dollars per mile. en wilch twenty branches are assessed al from But tho valxation of the taxable proporty their three to five thousand per mile, of a railroad corporatian cannot be limited to its rondway rolling stock and other persongl property. The fra ohiso which is the monopoly It er by oharter to the traflis of tho country made tributary to it hos an {atrinsic value that must be considered by the aueossor, The valuo of the franchise of any railrond depends upon the in- come it derives above operating ex- ponsea and reaeonable interest on actual cost, The fact that after all the rolling stock, depots, machine shops and round houses have been dumped together and assessed by the mile with the roadbed, the companies only pay taxes on from three to eleven thousand dollars on property that is ILLEGAL VOIING I this talk that we fraudulent voting in the receut h 1 tion without foundation in trath? Charges are openly and freely made that along the raitroads of tho natate the reilroad hands were allowed to voto without regard te thels residence, Tho managers ot the railroad ticket in this city nrged the train men on the Kearney division to vete here, and we undorstand that their votes woro received by the election board nothwithstaxding, as they swore in their votes, they stated that their fam- ilies resided in Kearney and that they were at home every night. Thero men undoubtealy sapposed that they wonld loge their job if thoy dii not oomply with the wish of these strikors. It is chorged that railroad moa were voted at Blue Hill, Com'es, McCook andjother statlons in this districts, avd they voted on the plea that they were ontitied ta vote momewhore Tho law evidently does not 80 pro vide, but Jf it 48 r g4t und tho propor thing to do, theiv should ba u ia providing for thia epecial claes of votors, That would certainly bo bet ter than to allow the election laws to bo w0 flagrantly, openly auc bodily violated, = Wo bslieve the law 18 right as it is, and wo torther believe that such a course should b, taken as will toach & duo respies for the rights of voters and a wholesome regard for the purity of the ballot box Everytime an illegal vote is deporite in tho ballot box & legal voter who casts in a different ticket is defrauded oat of his vote, Tho porpetuity of this free government depends on honest clections, and whenever voling becomen a farce we no longer have a government by the people, and our institutions are in danger of an carly overthrow. Wo do not wish to be misunderstood a8 saying that all tho fraudulent vot- mortgaged at from ten to fifty thous- and per mile, and with that encum- brance upon it this propertp still sells at from seventy to eighty thousand dollars in the open market, affords the best proof that there is something rotten in Denmark in the railroad as- rossments, It is true that farms, lots, wagons and merchandise are not aesessed in this state at their full market value, but there is a vast difference between farmers, merchaats and mechanics paylng taxes on one-third or one-half market value, while railroad property psys on one seventh or one-tenth of ita value and millions go untaxed al- together, The arsuraxco that the railroads rolurn cvery locomotive, pasrenger and freight car, bosides depots, round. hovses and machine shops at their firat cost eslimate, is all buncumbe, The road editor at Lincoln thioks it would puzzle the most learn- od anti-monopoliat to draw a bill that would botter provide for the taxation ot railroad property “‘wherever found” than ig provided by tho present law, We approhend no trouble on this ro. It will be a good deal more of n‘u-zzlu for the railroed editors to convince the legislature that they have no business to framo a law to reach railrond tax shirking, The proposition to prohibit the increaso of railroad rates without at lesst three months’ nolice is ridiculous, ‘‘We don't know,” says the learned man at the end of the B. & M. crank, “but it ought Lo apply to tho furviture, dry goods and grain bucinesa, 1t would certalnly make it pleasant all avound if the prices of uld not be changed without T things ¢ three months noti This is decidedly in keoping with all the other arguments advanced in support of the present syatem of extor- aud tax shirking, id dry goods are private property ior private use, whose owners enjny no privilege that is de- nied to any body eise, They may eell or withhold their property at pleasure sud they regolate its price according to demsnd and supply as well as according to thelr personal wants and inolinations. A railroad is a public tion, discrimin Grain, furniture a Bepinning with the asscesment and taxa‘ion of railroads we are astured by the Lincoln Journal that the rail roads are already taxed according to market value without reference to en- oumberance, We are told (hat the oconztitution provides that all property shall be taxed according to its value and (hat every person and corporation shali poy a tax in proportion to his, her or its property, ‘It railroads ars taxed according to their mar. kot all ocher property must be taxed.” “‘There is rot a fwm, city lor, etock «f goods, horeo, car, bugay, piano or wateh io slate assessed at its ‘market ' 1n the eense that (he ‘market is what the owner acks for it."” “A lorg contiuued custom usually has o resscn for existence. 8o with the of aseceping property on a low valustion for the parpoce of taxation in this country.” This is a deliberate sttompe to fal sify sud pettifog the whole issue, The apologist for tax shirking starts out by wilfully garbling the constltu- tlon, which provides: Articlo 9, eection 1. ““The legisla- ture ehall provide such revenues as way be needful by levying a tax by valuation, o that every person and corporation ehall psy a tex in propor- tion to the value of his or its property and franchises.” Why do the railroad editors ignore the mandste of the constitution to tax the frarchises of corporations? Why 4o they ovold sll refereuce to the franchite «f a railroad, which with some railiu.ds is more valuable than their real property snd rolling stocky value 50 uuiversal custom highway, ohartered for public use; ita patronage is compulsory because it enjoys the monopoly as a& com- mon oarrler, hence its rates should bs regulated acoording to fixed standards and the burden of taxation which is imposed upon its patrons under sanction of law should be unlform, Arbitrary changes of rates make corresponding changes in the values of all classes of products and merchandise whose market value {s regulated by the cost of travsporta- tion The public interest demands ing of the recent election wea done by railroad omployes, but that was cited as the most prominent iustance at hand. We call attention to this mat- ter in the hope that romething will be done to secure honest voting, and we hope it may be accomplished by milder means than by sonding the perpetra- tors to the penitentiary for a term of yoars, One way is to vote solid against every ticket that is supported by frandulent voters. Lhis romedy is effectual and ehould be applied.- Hastings Gazette Journal, The logislature that meets in Jan- uary is in honor and duty bouud to make a thorough and impartial in- quiry inlo the outragoous election frauds that wore commitied in the weetern pertion of tho stato ou the lines of the rallroads, Tho idea that men who have no fixod residencs should be liauled by the car load from station to station and voted like cat— tle under tho ordor of railroad bosacs is a disgrace to our state. In Dandy and Hitehcock countios for instanc: soveral hundred men who wero labor- ing on the road in Colorado were dumped out al difforent st itions in Nobraska on election day and voted for members of the legislature and everythlug else. This is not a mere oampaign canard. It is an established fact, There 18 no need of amending our laws to enable men who have no fixed place of residence to voto at elestions. Sach men have no better claim to vote in our elections than have the soldiers of tho regalar army stationed at the |different posts. The only way tv secure honest voting is to repudiate dishonest elections, It any member of the legislature holds a certificate by such frauds, he should be promptly unseated. If any other public officer, local or 4eueral, has sccured zn election by the votes of bulldozad men that have no permanent residence, they should not be allowed to hold their office. The men who have been voted fraudulently by their boesss are not to blame and most of them could not bo reached. It is the election cfficers who permit such frauds, and the men who superintend the fraudulent voting and their abettors that should be punished, But the trouble is that in the frontter counties the men who ought to administer justice are often in collusion with the rogues. The Indianola Courier, which has just reached us, contains the following: We learn that in Hitohoook county the grand jur{ was ‘‘packed” for the recent term of the distrioct court, and that the friends of law and order thought it useless to make any effort to unearth the electlon frauds in that ocounty, When we firat heard of the fraad that had been committed in that county, we said that it would be usoless to attempt an investigation there, and we still think so, This ehows that the only immediate remedy Is with the leglslature, Not that no change in rates should be made without reusonable notize, Auother very rofreshing plea is made by the Lincoln Journal organist, ae follows: ‘‘We have not heard of sny railroad man making money any taster on stock dividends than is usual for furniture men, grocers, bankers, farmers and manufacturers to mske or honestly expeot to make on like investments in thoir legitimate businges,” Mr. 'Gere should be voted a leather medal by the next legislature, He is the only man in tho United States that would have the sudacity to utter such a barefaced lie, Where has this man lived during the past fifteen years? Has he been eearching after the north pole or was he oue of Stan- ley's companions in Central Africal Borely nobody in Amcrica could be 80 stupid or ignorany as to asseat that the owners of railroads have noé made money faster than farmers, grocers aad furniture dealers. If the railroad the course of the next leglslature they had better train that ponderous intel- leot to make his appeals on their be- Barring the value of their franchise, it is mot trae that Nebraske roads in making new laws, but in eetting an example and ousting men who sre not rightfully elected. —— Acoording to Jay Gould stock gambling in the country is very in- siguificant, Seviral men in Omaha who took such a lively interest in Wabash last epring labor nnder the delusion that stock gambling signifies a good deal—when you lose all your life's eavicgs on ‘‘points” from Jay Gould, Boma sneak thiof has stolon $2,000 government bonds which long John Wentworth had put away in a tin box, Long John will got very little sympathy. A mao that ealts down government bonds ia tin boxes does not deserve much pity. ES———— WueN Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war.

SENATE EEDINGS, Dicember 16 —After the nator Hawley asked unan. ckerill and Voorhees wanted it to go on the calendar, After devate the senate di cided, 30 to 36, to consider ti | gervice bill. Yenator Ingalls predicted that both par- ::‘fl" would be yictimiz:d by this fraudvlent 1 Senator Voorbess opposed the 5 Senator Voorhees said the biil provided for admiseion by comj eiitive examination to only the lowest grads of puslic offices, therefore treatmont of the Lill in the sen- ate seemed to him to be “much ado about nothing” The z.sl of the republicans for ref rm of the civit service eeemed to result from the danthbed repentance brought about, not by hatred of the'r sins, but by fear that they would not te allowed to in- dulgs in them much longer, and the dem- ocrats were soothing the sufferings of the deathbed with the withetic gruel of poli- tics, Who said they ever heard of any political changes occurring among the lower grades of clerke? They were not public officers who figured in etar route or whisky ring transactions; {et thia bill pro. posed to examine ard regulate and replace thece poor minor cffioials, leaving the strong and arrogant to corrapt higher offices undistuibed. The real demand for the W.»Fla was for penal lawa to puntsh wrong doers in high piaces, not for a con- trivance to woerry poor clerks, He did not o, peee this bill because he desired cflices luv tie democrats, but for the rcason that ic pr.tioally denfed to the nemocrats the richt 10 oompeto for eny of tho higher offices. He read and commonted upon o number of quections which candidates had to enswer, he said, without the aid of memorands, such s ‘‘name the four largest islands on the globe,” Then the examination pasied to mathe. ratics, and one of the questions was: Two-thirds of seven-niuths of what numter is one-half of vight and two-fiths, divided by fourteen and seven-tenths. less thon tou and two-s-ventha, [Laugh- ter.] 1f senators wanted this humbug con- tinuad they inight vota for it, but that he (Voorhees) wonl? not; neverthelees he was 1n favor of reform of the civil service, and he had proposed a practical measure for that purpose st the last on, nomely, an amendment to the constitution of the United Statcs providing that postmasters, revenue collectors, judges, marshals and United States Jistrict attorneys should be elected by the people. He would not be hypoeritical about this subject, If the cemocratic party should come into power it ought to purify the service by making a thorough srd radical chavge of office holders, excepting only soldiers who had served their country and been injured in its rervices, Senator Brown offered an amendmen to the pending amendment of Senator Alli- % bas beeu arreated in | {'the sher ff of G go has gome | ar Beatrice two years | son reducing the terms of office of commis- sioners frcm eix to four years, Lost— veas 22, nays 24, Debate was continued by Senators Plumb, Maxey and Jones, Senator Shermen said one of his first acts as sccretary of the tressury was re- ducing the force 500 in number, and olso reducing the pay to rates which the same kiud of fervice commanded in private em- ployment, and the result was $300,000 ap- propriated for that bureau by congress wos returned to the treasury, As secretary of the treasuey ho had done Lis best to bring the fo:ce down to the proper standard, and if there were any sugernumeraries there now he did not knowit. Asto the civil service roform, he favored three provisione: First, taking away of the power to select eniployes by favcritism, and the passage of a law that acmission to service should be securod by competitive exauinations, open to all; second, prokibition of removals ex- cept for csuse; third, probibition of politi. cal as-essments without inteifering with the yight of cffizials o contribute volun. tm'y for legitimate po.itical purposes, Removals without cause wonld be very rarely made if the pressure of senators and representatives for appointment in execu- tive departments wera stop .ed, and there. fore he would sgain, as he bad voted years ago for a law prohibiting such interference by members of congress As an executive officer he had felt keenly such interfer- ence, Senator Windom confirmed what Sena- tor Sherman had said about the depart- ments, He wus tired of hearng that exe utiye departments were reeking with corruption, Yt was not true, Senator Cockerell moved to adjourn, Lost, Senator Cockerell said that this senate, which waas now o virtuous that it refused to adjourn at 5 clock on Saturday, was mads up of the same senstors as tho last ssion, and he read from the journal to show that in the first part of that ression gentlen en 5o eager for reform had favored iy adjournments, Edmunds—The pope of the senate (laughter) huvirg movedon the first day to adjourn at half-pust twe, and Mr, Ciweron, the famous Penusylvania re- former (laughter), havirg moved to ad- jown from Thursday till Monday.
