Tar railroads will be tolled by the legislature to pay thelr taxes, Tunee more horses have entered for the senatorial stakes It looks as if the race was to bo fceo for all with some twenty entries distanced. Junar Tourare's new lectare is en- titled “The Family of Fools.” The application s supposed to be to the audience who pay f 'y cents to hear it Coxaress is asked to give 8700 000 for a postcffice site in San Francisco, This is sight more than the entire building ought to cost. Tue former editor of the Repullican when asked by the special railroad committee whether his name was on the pay roll ¢f the Union Pacific rail- road ‘‘declined to answer.” Silence «fien epeaks louder than words. A New York dispatch says that the rallroads have withdrawn their lobby from the New Jersey legislature, The monopoly lobby at Lincoln is the strongest ever gathered together at the state papi‘al p —e Dg. Deems, in his prayer at the m THE DAILY BEE-MONDAY JANUARY 15 THE SENATORSHIP. The senatorlal battle will open in Lincoln at noon on T'aesday. At that time, in accordance with the national statute, the first ballot will be taken toward the election of the man who will succeed Alvin Siunders in the United Siates senate, Fvery indica- tlon points to an exciting and bitter strugglo between the contesting can- didates, As usual, the rallroads are earnestly engeged in the conflict, and their paid agenta have taken a more than ordinary interest in the prelimi- narg skirmiches. The people of Na- braska have staked their political in- dependence upon the outcoms of the fmpending battle. Tt 1s to decide f.r six years to come whother the rail- ronds are to volco the sentiments of this state in the Unites N :ates senate, 1t is to determine whether the No. braska senatorial delegation is to work together for the Interests of the people or whether 1t is to be hoplessly divided on questions of vital interest to the producers of the country. The sturdy citizens who at the late elec- tion forced the anti-monopoly issue to up before the public reflecting [its changing moods, It is the misroscope whose duty It is to expose the hidden secrets concealed from the general view, but whose disclosure will be for the public interest or benefit. An honest, independent journsl has, no business to discriminate in ita performance of daty. It has no right to criticise the little fishes and pass over in silence the whales It mus: place all men »n the same level, so far as their acts will intorest the public and so far as the “TIME TO STOP.” The crank that grinds the Omaha organ of the monopolies informs his readera that “'it is time to stop.” The pablic will cordlally agree with him, 1t is time to stop the ecarrility and abuse which for years has been meas- ured out by the railroad editorial em- ployes to every man who has dared to oppcso the extortions and pillage of their masters, The adjectives are ex- hausted and impotent. Men who value their manhood have long ceased to consider the charges or to listen to exposure of their miedeeds will accrue to the general benefit.@1f it conducts its business on any other grounds it does 80 at the expense of its character and places iteelf on a footing with lickapittles and toadies. This Tz Ber will never do, In spite of the the Jvirulent abuse which has been the portlon of every citizen who has had the ocourage to make @ stand rgainst the monopoly minions in the intorests ¢ our out- raged public, It is time to stop hum- bugging the people of Nebraska in ro- howls and hisses of snobocracy, who can read with Interest strictures, on any individoal without a bank account and applaud the exposure of any regue who doesn’t pay taxes on real estate or own a carriage. gy v FArLvres continue to increase. Last week shows a larger number by thirty the front in each of the political parties, and thosa who, with every honest man, are in favor of a pure, a strong and & reprosentative govern- ment, demand for their next senator a man cf ability and high starding, f influence and experience- They want aman (f brains and not a bundle «f greenbasks, They ask cf the present legislature a senator whose public his ability and willingness to serve the people in the future, Above all they require a man fcee from all suspicions of railroad sftliations and pledged to carry out the wishes «f his constitu- ents in securing national regulation of the monopolies, Nebraska demands a man «f legis- lative experienco. Amor8 the many oandidates who olaim reccgaition from the people throvgh the present legislaturo thero are several such, Some have already filled terms in the United States senate with more or fess ability. Others have occupied positions ¢f honor and trust in our state. Still others by their eneigatic New York Ohurch of the Strangers, last Sunday n!ght, asked the Almighty to convert the cholr, This is a sug- gestion which ought to be at once acted upon i several Omaha pulpits, Tue Republican says that ‘‘a man would not expeot poetry from the kan- garoo—but this is a disappointing world.” Exactly, Nor would a man expect common sense fcom a orank, who, like the editor ¢ f the Kepublean, “depends upon his memory fir his wit and his Imagination for his fiots.” S—— Tag little whiffet who edits the Republican sags: *“1f we had to be bossed, we think we should prefer 8. H. H, Ularkor T. L. Kimball to the autocrat who is the editor of our esteemed evening ocontemporary.” Less than s year ago he was an appli- oant for a rub-editorship on Tux Bxe on theground that he was tired cf being bossed by S. H. H. Clark and T. L. Kimball and that no one read what he wrote in the rallroad organ, GoverNor Curron, cf Illinois, who has been nominated by the republican work in behalf of the people, through their sin cerity cf purpose or vigor «f action deserve well (f their constitu- ents, We cannot afford to send to the senate a man who will be hampered by his igaorance «f parliamentary practice and who is disabled by his lack of legislative experience fcom originating and cary- ing throvgh or alding in forwarding questions of national policy. How- ever good such a man's intentions, the state ought not be handicapped by his inability to carry them into effect. Our citizens want a man who can make for himself and for the state & national reputation in the halls ¢f congress, & brainy man with the mind to devise and the will to execute. Money bsgs may weight down, but they can never fill a senatorial chair, The Sharons and the Fairs ¢f the senate have brought only disgrace upon their states and ridicule upon themselves, Nebraska will not add to their num- ber. It s an admitted fact that the leading candidate now in Lincoln bases his olalms f,r support upon the influence which his wealth has brought him. He is without record as a public record in thbe past is a guarantee cf|. than the week preceding and more than for any previous week eince 1879, when the repeal of the bankrupt law became operative, There i3 no deny- ing the fact that the trade outlook fis gloomier than it has been for three years pi Factories are overstocked, foundrles and mills are begging for or- ders and reducirg wages’ and mer- chants generally are complatning f dull business and hard collections, It isa time for the exercise cf caution and economy. Panic is not yet upon the country, but a general dep:ession is makiryg iteelf felt. One cause for the increased number of fiilures is found In the contraction of credifs by wholesalo houses and jobbers This in itself Is an encouraging sign and will do much to ward cff the crash which thie croackersclaim I8 im- pending. The country has been living boyond its income, and has beon puar- chasivg from abroad more than it has oxported. National taxation has been drawing in frcm busthess eight mil- lions of dollars monthly more than suftisient to meet the de- mands of the treasury depitt. ment, while $300,000,000 expended for rallroad constraction and almoet a8 large a sum for buildings much of whioh was uanecessary and unpro- ductive, as investments has reduced Iargely the income producing power f the country. 8till our crops are good, weo have fiod and to spare,there are no indications ¢f general distress, and with common caution the concluding six months «f the year ought to be financially prosperous and pecuniarily succesefal. If half of the rallroads on the stock exchange were placed in the hands cf receivers and shaken thoroughly to throw off the water which they hold, a good begin- ning would be made in the direction cf placing our rallroad system on a com- mon sense business basls, and towards checking a rulnous speculation, There is reason to believe that the present stringency {s merely temporary, and will result in placing trade and busi- ness on a more substantial and safer basis from which the advance to- wards prosperity will be steady and rapid.

It is a notorlous fact that it is charged by the public journals and believed that the railroads of the state have used money lavishly to corrupt voters, and have tried by coercion, threats and by all appliances at their command, to force their employes to vote against their will and for men and parties known to be pledged and committed to the railroad inverest, and upon their refusal to do so they have been discharged fsom their em- ploy.

The constitution ¢f the state cf Missouri, adopted in 1875, contains the following previso in its article on railroads: SeorioN 16, No railroad or other transportation company shall grant free passes or tickets or passes or tick- ets at & discount to members cf the goneral assemby, or members f the board ¢f equalization, or any state or county or wunicipal cfiisers; and the acceptance ¢f such pass or ticket by a member of the general assembly or any such officer shall be a fuifaiture «f his cffice. candidate of experience and unques- tloned integrity, who will bring Ne- braska to the front in the national senato and lead her to & seat which her growing lmportance, her political vitality and her progressive lntelli- gence give her therignt to occupy, Tuere is a good deal of talk about “personality in journalism.” Theloud. estjcomplainte, as isuataral, come from parties who have been discussed freely by the prees in its fanction as a ortic of events and & dissector of motives The fact« f the matteristhat themodern newspaper is largely the mirror held him a presidential candidate.” ““There are plenty cf good men able and willing to undertake the cflice— abler than I prcfass to be and with as much patriotiam." “‘The president at best is but a fig- urehead.

They Insist that it is timo to atop ‘paizing the ocaucus, the primary and i convention in the interests «f insclent corporations, They ask that our legislature ehall be purified of the pressnce of the red nos>d plmps and geabs, who have for yoars coriupted its members, And they demand with all the energy of men, who have been betrayed by promises and sold by traitors, that every man on whom they pin their faith in the future shall be free from all sutpicion of col- luston or intimacy with the ‘monopoly managers who have plundered this state while they have held ia political serfdom its citizens, The day has come when every can- didate who asks for the confidence of the people must declare squarely open- ly and boldly on which side he has planted his faet. It is time to stop the straddling by which the voters of Nebraska have been deceived {into folating the secret friends of monop- oly into positions of honor and trust. 1t is time to stop placing clubs in the hands of the railroads to be used againstfthe people. For thess and a soore of other reasons it s high tiwe to stop. Havixe pawsed the 'pruidantid suc- cession bill congress will at once grap- ple with the ‘‘Inabllity matter.” There 1s really more neceesity for having some definite legislation on this sub-. jeot than for having new rules gov. erning the presidential succession, The protracted illness of General Gar- field made very plain the emergency which existed for the presence of a law for determining when inability exists, and what the privileges and powers ci the vice-president are in the premises, There was no question that for months the president was en. tirely unable to perform the duties of his cttice, The country was prac- tically without a chief executive and with no method of legally determin. ing this fact or «f temporarily or per- manently han'iag over the govera- ment to the vice president. There was & f3eling In congrees that the ques- tion ought to be lcf: out of the suo- cession bill just passed through fear of weighting it down with a knotty constitutional problem which might have prevented its speedy passage. Senator Ingalls’ suggestion that the subject be at once taken up by the judiclary committee for investigation, will bring the matter speedily b fore congress in the form of a bill which will forever provide against such con- tingencies as existed during Prealdent Garfield's long and fatal illness, e ON Tuesday the Minnesota legisla- ture will begin balloting for United States senator.

LouvisviuLe, January 13.—In 1856 a project was formed for the building of the Southern Pacific railway, run- ning across Texas to the Pacific coast. The first link in the transcontinental chain was from Shreveport, La., to Marshall, Texas, By the time this was finished the enterprise broke down pecuniarily, and the road was several times sold out by the sheriff. After the war, in the year 18G6, the enterprise was revived, and a loan of $150,000 was made to the road by a Louisville syndicate, but the enter- prise failed.
