Tho battle which the producers of this state have fought so long against the abuses of corporate monopoly fs drawing to ~ close, Both political parties have been forced by an over- powering public sentiment to recognize the demand for railroad legislation by incorporating strong anti-monopoly planks in their platforms, The late campaign in Nebraska indicated that the people are at last fully aroused to the importance of the vital isaue of the day. Eighteen thoutand voters cast their ballots for the s'raight anti- monopoly ticket. KEvery candidate of other parties who was endorsed by the anti-monopolists secured his elec- tion, while a trifling change of votes would have sent to congress two anti- monopoly republicans, / For the firat time in the history of Nebraska the railroads find themselves in a strong minority in the legislature. The sen- aco has been taken gut of their hands, and the house has been organized with a speaker who cannot bo controlled by the monopoly managers. Every indi- catfon points to the election of a United States senator whose record who ised and re- and couragements, A and standing will be a etrong guaranteo of his fidelity to the wishes of his constituents and who can be depended upon to stand like a rock against the corrupt bies of the state capital, anti-monop- oly is the one topic of discussion, Where ten years ago no man dared to profess it, to-dsy no candidate dare deny adherence to its principles. The anti-monopolists have won a great victory, in educating public sen- timent to a clear underatanding of the relations which a% present exist be- tween the corporations and the peo- ple. Careis now needed that the froite of that viotory shall not be thrown away. The battle is not en- tirely won when the enemy holds out a flag ot truce, The people of Ne- braska now hold the reius of power for the first time in many years, They must exerclse it in securing to them- selves results which will be lasting, FEARS OF PaNIO Some of the eastern papers are ex- pressing fears that another great panic is impending, They base their opinion upon the increase of failures, the stringency of the woney market, the spoculative fever in stocks and the amount of money which has been sunk in railroad construction and ex- tenslon during the past three years. The history of the panto of 1873 and the causes which preceded ft are re- ferred to in support of the ourrent dread of an impendiog financlal cri and business mon as well as specula. tors are warned that they are standing upon a smouldering voloano which s likely to burst at any me- ment into a deptruct., . “ruption.

It 1s not eo much the heavy extension as it is the dishonest construction of rallroads that is tap ping the surplue wealth of the coun- try, and turning the money of inves- tors and the earnings of the people into the pockets of the construction rings. One element of the present strin- gency of the times must not be for- gotten, and that is the exorbitant national taxation, which is piling up a disastrous surplus of millions of dollars monthly in the national treas- ury. Prompt and radical action by congress on the queation of tariff re- form will do much to relieve the country from the weight under which it 1s now staggering, and to postpone to a late day the panic which some are now 8o much dreading. There is, however, this A COoRRESPONDENT referring to Tue Bee's comments upon the advance in prices at the opera houso when the best class of singers and actors appear fact that the s:ale of prices at Boyd's is less than that charged at any other first-class theater in the country. He says that at Wallacks, the Union Square and the Standard fh New York, at Haverly's and McVicker's in Chicago, and at Baldwin's in San Francleco the universal price for the beat seats is §1.50, while at our own theater §1.00 is the highest sum ordinarily charged.

The close of the year 1882 aud the opening of the present year have been rendered memorable by a succession of remarkable inundations unprece- dented in the ‘history of Europe. Hardly an European country has been unvisited by the universal deluge Beginning in the latter part of Novem- ber by heavy rains and tremendous floods in Baden and other parts of Germany, the stormy weather centin ued unbroken until the close of the year. Early in Dacember Franco was under a rush The Seine boats laid torrent of water, that paeeing unier the principal bridges of Paris. A large gart of the ci'y was flooded, the sewerazo eystem be came practically inoperative and the whole sabsoil wis 80 swollen wore provented from of the city was com pletely soaked. The Rhine Rhone also overflowed their baunks and great destitation and distress pre- vailed among the poorer classes many of whom homes to suffer in depsndence upon strangers, On the rest of the conti- nent rain continued to fall antilabout a week before Christmasa when a gen- eral deluge sot in, Torrents of rain descended in Germany, Austria and eastern France. The rivers com- menced to rise gradually at firat, but soon with a rapidity that kened widespread alarm. In France the eastern and southern provinces were flooded. Lyons and Besancon were seriously damagaed, and several small towns along the Rhone were inundated. The floods in Ger- many and Austria were phenomenal. The Rhine and Dauube rose to an as- tonishing height, and with a rapidity which one can scarcely conceive. At Cologne it rose two metres,ormorethan soven feet in a day and one-half, and during a single night, ninety centime- tree,or three feet, The Danube flroded large part of Upper Austria, and se- ricus alarm was felt at Vienna, lest that city should have to pass through the disagrecable experience of Paria The Neckar rose higher than in No- vember, and reached its highest point duriog this century. In Baden a bridge was swept away, carrying with j¢ twenty persons. Altogether, it is oatimated that fiity lives were lost by the fl)ods. Meantime in Da- comber England was completely buried in snow, and the storm is described as violent almost beyond belief. Travel of all kind was impeded, the Scotch oxpresses were abandoned, the coast. was ravaged with a farious hur- ricane, and k6 the ports were crowded with dismantled shipping. In Wales a rallway train was com were driven from their awa slon of the question that the increased cost of seats was a matter which lay outside of the provincs of the legal managers and that in every instance where a contract was under considera- tion the matter simply resolved itself into the question whether the attrac- pletely buried under the snow.

All authorities agree ic saying that such a series of storms aud floods has not bsen known in the century. In Monopoly's Path. Sacrimento Equity. The republican press scem never to tire of baying at the heels of Senator Van Wyck.

Sioux Cily Journal, The Omaha Herald state leg- islature as a democrat who shall vote for other than a straight democrat for United States sonator, deserves to be kicked out of the democratic party. That represents the bulldozing element of the Herald's party. Herald also says that a respectable re- publican for United States senator in preferable to a half-breed—ot any party, we suppose. That represents the trading element of The Herald's party, The Omaha Herald is much ltke the proverbial Irishman's flea. And s0 is The Herald's party. He Reocognizsd Her. Modern Argo.

A Fata! Accident. {Kearney Nopparell,| A shocking accldent occurred on Tuesday last at the home of Mr. A, .J Orossley, living abont seven or eight miles north-east of this city. Mrs. Croslsy, a fleshy woman of about 10 years of age, was sitting on her chair knitting, with the right foot resting on a small stool, and her son, a young man, sitting in a fronting obl e direction about six or eight feet away with a double barrel muzzle loadirg shot guu lying across his knees, and unfortunately pointing toward Mrs, Crossly, which he was wiping off. A younger son haviog seen the action of brezchloading gurs, remarked the gun would break like a breechloader, and the elder brother replied that it would not, and procesded to illustrate his reply by ratsing the hammers, &c., as the gun lay across his knees. The hamuer of one barrel slipped from his fingers and discharged the con- tents of the barrel, a load of 18 or 20 No. 2 shot, the whole charge striking Mrs, Crossly square- Iy in front of the right leg about six inches below the knee, shattering both bones of the leg and tearing a ghastly wound about two inches in diameter, then passing out- ward lodging in the fleshy part of the upper third of the thigh. The gun was 80 close that tha chirge of shot did not scatter but lodged in a mass, This occurred about 8 v'clock in the morning and about ¢ o'clock of the evening of the eame day Mrs, Crossly was delivered of a perfectly formed child. Then about noon of the next day the operation of amputating the wounded limb wasa per- formed by unjointing it at the knee joint leaving the thigh bone entlre, Thus in the short spice of abeut twenty-eight hours Mrs, Crossly weut through a combination of occurrences which altogether make up a case with- out a parallel in surgical history., At last reports she was doing as woll as could be expected; her health the past year has been of rather delisate na ture. Dra, Dildine and Northrup, of this city, were in attendance, Since writing the above the report comes that Mrs, Crossly died to-day at 0a. m, “‘One man's meat is another man's poison.” Kidney-Wort expels the poisonous humors. The first thing to do in the Spring is to clean house. For internal cleansing and renovating, no other medicine is equal to Kldney-Wort, In either dry or liquid form it cures headache, bilious atiacks, constipation and deranged kidneys.
