S— I THE CITY CAMPAIGN. The democrats of Omaha hold thelr primaries to-day aud will vomioate thelr olty ticket to.morrow night. That is late enough, Bat the repub- licans In under the leaderahip of Has call and Mike Meaney have kept back thelr call and will not nominate a ticket until Satarday evening. About four hundred ropublicans who patron- ize the ring organ will learn on Sun- day who have been nominated, but the mass of republican voters in this clty who depend on Tur Bk will only Xnow whom they are asked to support on the day before election. From the very outset of thls cam- palgn the political shysters and jobbers who are managlog it for the republl- canshavesoughtto devise a schemelthat would enable them to run the gaunt- let of public opinion successfully with thelr gang. It was an open confession that the candidates were not to be the trae cholce of the republican party after a thorough comparison of their merlts but simply the product of pri- marles packed with repeaters and roustabouts, and a convention made up of the elements, that could be depended upon to open the road Fraxx Hariox is shedding croco- dile tears over the sudden death of Timothy O.

When the New York leglslature found Itself baulked In its effort to reduce the elevated rallroad fares to five cents, by the veto of Governor Oleveland, [snother step was [taken to bring the great monopoly to time. There s a law on the New York statute books empowering the leglala. ture to make changes in the charters of any rallroad companies where the net income exceeds 10 per cent on the caplital actually Invested. If it could be shown that the net income of the elevated roads was more than 10 per cent on the capital invested, the leg- {slatare could amend the charter that authorleed ten cents fares without touching on what the monopoly at- torneys call ‘‘vested rights,” Two weeks ago che New York sen- ate passed a resolution requesting the state engineer, Silas Seymour to far- nish Information as to the real cost of the elevated roads. Mr. Seymonr made a report that shows him to be as useful a tool of the elevated rallroad syndicate as he was fifteen years ago of the Credit Mobilier ring when he acted as consulting en- gineer of the Unlon Paclfic. He made a report in which he took the ground that the actual outlay must be com- puted by the amount of capital stock and bonds issued by the company.

The politiclans have boen gently tap- ping at the heads of thelr leaders to see if the sound emitted would call out any response from the people. The head tapping so far has not been pro- ductive of great resuits. The heads tapped have given forth a dull sound, the tone of which could not be inter- preted by the people. Blaine, Sher- man, Edmunds, Windom, and at last Conger, have been sounded, but their names bring forth no response. It may be necessary to state that the lat- ter is & senator from Michigan, dis- tinguished for nothing in particalar bat his hostility to a portion of the American family of states, The next presidentlal contest will doubtless be fought by the present parties, but nelther of them represents the strong undercurrent of opinion exlisting among the people. That opinion is not, as has been represented, a ten- dency to communism, but a de- termination to resent the encroach- ment of assoclated capital. Under the plea of vested rights and the obli- gation of contracts, capital is seeking to emancipate ltself from legislative control, g: declares that it is not safe subject to the sense of justice of the people, to which our liyes and liberties are subject. A tribunal which is held to be sufficlently honest and intelli- gent to make and administer laws reg- ulating the conditions under which in- dividuals may live and act, is declared not to be sufficlently honest and Intel. llae:]t to make and u;i.:!lnht(er the laws regulating the ownership of property. These Idgn must be eradicated from the minds of the representatives of as- soclated capital before they will be- come in the fall sense of the termgood cltizens.

They nearly all take the corporation view of the rights of prop- erty, When Tharman, of Ohlo, went down before the opposition he had provoked, he left no successor, It is of no use, therefore, to tap the skulls of senators in the search for presiden- tial timber. There s very little dit- ference between the parties on this point. While the democrats sound the heads of such men as Justice Field, and rallroad president and director Jewett, they cannot reproach the re- publicans for making similar experi- ments with Sherman, Oonger & Co. There is a principle which will show {tself in some future campaign, the as- sertion of which Is permanence of the republic. That mzolpla is as to the relative rights of viduals and of property. the law which is sufficlently supreme to take life to be paralyzed when itcomes in contact with property? If we may trust the poopfn with our lives and libertles, may we not also trust them with our property? The great cor- porations say we may not. The right to live is, in thelr opinion, less sacred than the right to obtaln all the ad- vantages they can from the possession of property, The fallacy of the cor- poration argument will soon bs shown, It only needs are careful examination of its clalms to secure its rejection. Against property in any form, whether held by individuals or corporations, there is no feeling, but against the clalms of property to beabove the laws to which our lives and liberties are subject, there 1s a growing opposition.
