THE BEE BUBLISHING €0, PROPS, B. ROSEWATER, Editor. Meeting of the Anti-Monopoly State Committee, The members of the Anti-Monopoly Stato committee are hereby requested to moet at the Arlington house, Lincoln, sn THE WORKINGMENS' CONVENTION. Twolve months ago the werkingmen and farmers of this county, represented by over one hundred and fifty delegates put an Anti-Monopoly county ticket in the field. The convention appointed a campaign committeo of thirty with Jason Lewis as chairman and J. R, Black as secrotary. Although there are more than four thousand workingmen and farmers in this county, only a fraction over 1,100 votes wero polled on the straight Anti- Monopoly ticket. The result was the defeat of every Anti-Monopoly candidate who was not also endorsed on the Demo- cratic ticket. Why wore theso candidates defeated when the workingmen and farmres in th county are so largoly in the majority? Simply because the fellows who forced thomselves on the campaign committee wero a set of shameloss tricksters who made open barter and sale of their in- fluonce. On election day they deserted their posts and sold out to the money Friday, Oct. 19, at 2 o'clock p. m., to place in nomination a candidate for Re- gent, vico John H. Ames, withdrawn and to transact other important busi- noss. J. Burrows, Merroy, Oct. 15, Chairman, e —— e g e Tur shyster workingmen are in clover just now but they can't deliver the goods on election day. Jasox Lewis has donned s bran new suit of clothes, Politics pays some peo- plea good deal better than labor. How much did Baumer pay for his en- dorsement by the packed ‘convention of so-called farmers and workingmen? Mz. GrapstoN plays the accordeon. The unpopularity of the prime minister in certain sections of England is now fully accounted for. Axorser combination has been formed to beat Ben Butler in Massachusotts. A combination to beat brains, brass and money must be a good one. Tue Galveston News notes that *‘Gres- ham is the only member of the cabint that has no need of recreation. When he wants a rest he sits down on Frank Hatton.” Mgr. MortoN is wrestling manfully with the tariff through the columns of the Herald, but the tariff will play a very small part in the election of Judge Sav- age to tho Supreme bench. ‘VANDERVOORT writes that Mr, Gresham offered to reinstate him if he would hand in his resignation at tho same time, which he declined to.do. It is office, not a vindication, that Paul isafter. Tae Democratic oad attorneys are showing very little enthusiasm in the state judicial contest, but the people will seo to it that these fire-in-the-rear politi- cians do very little damage on election day. Forry-onk trades unionsin New Jersey have united in urging the adoption of some plan of arbitration to prevent strikes, That is the true remedy in labor disputes and workingmen all over the country are being rapidly educated to percoive it. — TuE joint nomination of Judge Wake- loy and Neville in this district was a strong endorsement of the theory of a non-partisan judiciary which Tue Bee has for yeas been urging, The nomina- tions are all the more gratifying, because both candidates have the solid endorse- of the bar and the respect of the commu- nity in which they reside. Judge Wakeloy was one of tho earliest of territorial judges in Nebraska and won respoect from both parties at a time when the federal oftice-holders, with few excep- tions, from Governor Black down were even worse than the average of territor- ial officials, During a long residenze in this city he has earned for himself an en- viable reputation as one of the ablest lawyers in the west, as a cultured and re- fined gentleman and a valuable citizen, Possessing in a high degree a judicinl temperament and mind, and bringing w the position the rich fruits of long years of study and practice, itis little to say that Judge Wakeley is without a superior on any bench in the state. The renomination of Judge Neville was & well deserved compliment, The Judge is well known in Nebraska and es- pecially in the district where he has prac- ticed for & number of years, Tae high tariff advocates in the Re- publican oarty aud that wing of the De- mocracy which is led by Mr Randall and backed by Dana, of the New York Sun, will use all their efforts to ) revent a re- opening of the tanff question at the reassembling of Congross. 1t is diffioult to see how the question can be safely dodged. In spite of the slight reduc tions iu the intornal taxes and customs made by the law passed at the last scs- bags who supported what was known as the senatorial syndicate. 1t was simply " | disgusting and disgraceful. Having made a stake in politics these shyster workingmen are trying to repeat that game this fall. About two weeks ago Lowis and Black issued a call for a Farmers’ and Workingmen’s Convention. The only authority they had for this call was thoir own sweet will. The commit- tee of thirty was not called together. Only three or four out of the thirty were aware that a call was to be issued. The farmers had no notico whatever of the convention, and the call was so ingenious- ly worded that it left the entire control within the hands of two men, When the convention met, it became manifest that working men who had come there in good faith, were being wused by & pack of shysters and tricksters for personal ends. Several delegations were arbitrarily ex- cluded and the farmer element was rep- resented by one solitary farmer from Florence. After wrangling for hours, and when more than one-third of the delegates had either been fired out or tired out, nominations were forced under whip and spur and a ticket put in the field which, outside of the gang who manipulated the convention, will not muster a corporal’s guard on election day. It is worse than Walsh & Quinn's con- venticn last fall, Respectablo working- men will repudiate it and a good many of the delegates aro ready to slaughter it at the polls. THE RAILROAD DEBTS, The Government Commissioner of rail- roads has issued a synopsis of his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior. Mr, Armstrong is evidently staggied at the enormous debts which the Pacific railroads owe to the gevernment, and at the inability of the Sinking Fund to pro- vide for their extinguishment at the date of maturity. During the past fiscal year the indebtedness of the corperations to the Treasury Department, has increased from $121,906,900 to $123,843,60, De- ducting the credits on the side of the railroads which will not be due un:il the maturity of the principal in 18956 and 1899 the entire debt now amounts to $101,374,313. The original amount of bonds issued as aid to the Pacific roads by the govern- ment was $05,000,000. When this princely assistance was granted it was understood that the railroads would pay the intorest on it, No suggestion of the liability of the government to the bond- holders for the ‘nterest was ever made in the Congresses which made the grants. The refusal of the road to meot the in- terest sbligations and the decision of the Supreme Court sustaining them in their position, has thrown this additional bur- den upon the government which has already paid out $118,000,000 in interest upon tho bonds & sum £64,000,000 groater than the originul bond grant, The sums credited to the roads for government transportation and froight amount only to $21,400,000. 1t is estimated that by the time the bonds fall due, twelve years hence the debt will amount to something like $130,000,000, How the companies propose to liquidate this enormous indebtedness within the three years permitted them by the law o one of their managers has yet been bold enough to outlive. The sinking fund, if it is allowed to accumulate at 3 per cent. will barely moro than half wipe out the obligations, The commissioner suggeats the investment of the fund in the first mortgage securities of the com- panies as promising a quicker acoumula- tion of tho sinking fund. Congross, however, is scarcely likely to enter the stock market as a buyer and risk sevaral willions of dollars upon the whims and caprices of irresponsible and dishonest railroad jobbers, Swaller returns aud safer ones are preterable, and Govern- ment bonds at 3 per cent are butter a1 & Government invi nent than private securitios at a higher rate of intorest, —_— A vouxo lawyer who has a priva: sion, Congress will be confronted with a | yrudge against Judge Bavage, is veuti- reasury surplus of & hundred and thirty | Isting his spleen through the columns of million dollars.

Why do you attack only Republicans? Why don’t you pitch into Democrata, if you honestly believe in Republican prin- ciples? These are question which have time and again been put to Tur Bre during the present campaign by a num- ber of Republican papers who are known to be subsidized by railroads. Wo will bluntly give our reasons. The Democratic party is not in power either at Washington or at Lincoln. The Na- tional affairs are managed by Ropublicans, consequently ~ Republi- cans must bo held responsibie for dishonest federal officials and failures to enact laws to redress existing abuses, which the President and Congress alone have the power to remove. The Demo- crats had & majority in the lower house of Congress in 1876, and we did not fail to denounce Democratic leaders for re- fusing to vote supplies to tho army and adjourning wiihout appropriating the necessary funds to carry on the Govern- ment. The last two Cengresses have been Republican and the Republicans have had our support upon their general policy, while we were also unsparing in exposing corruption and mismanagement at the national capital, Could we have done moro consistently? Could we have assailed Democrats for the disgrace- ful squabble that ended in the assassina- tion of Garfield? Has any Wepublican paper in this state given Mr. Arthur moro cordial support than this paper has? Nebraska has beon s Republican state ever since she came into the union. From tho Supreme bench down to ward registrars, ovory state office or appointment has been Ropublican during all these years. What- over guod or bad governutent we have had, Republicans alone have been re- sponsible for. Wo have time and again “pointed with pride” to Republican achievements whonever a campaign onened. Could or should we withhold censure when the party in power has foisted imbeciles and rogues into office, robbed the State of its patrimony, ex empted corporate monopolies from taxes, and failed to enact laws to protect producers from the grasping greed of corporation managers? Lot us ask in all candor why we should pitch into Democrats when they havn't had a State officer, or even a District Judge in twelve years? What Democrat should we denounce? There iz a Demo- cratic State Treasurer now who was elected last year by Anti-monopoly Re- publicans. Shall we pitch into Sturde vant, who has been the only man in the State house who insisted upon raising the railroad tax and protested against the bare-faced swindle in awarding the con- tract for the capital? ‘We have pitched into Miller and Mor- ton and other railroad Democrats for dis- honest leadership, but even they are not in offics and are not responsible for their conduct to the peeple. Whenever the Democrats get into power, violate their pledges and commit high-handed out rages as Republicans have done in this State, we shall not hesitate to rebuke them. We have shown time and again in local affairs that we are not partial to Democrats when their conduct does not meet our ap- proval., We have denounced Democratic members from this county to the legis ture who sold out for railroad app: ments, and we have been unsparing in our censure of the Democratic mayor when his conduct merited rebuke. In dealing with the city council we certainly have made no distinction between Dem- combine in demanding that our Supreme Court shall be recruited as far as possible from the judges of courts of inferior jurisdiction and that where this policy is tempor- arily abandoned, the candidates shall bo selocted from the leaders of the State bar. This is the universal practice else- where where the judiciary is elective, and thero are no reasons why it should not be the policy in this State. Wo oppose Mr. Reese, in the third place, because the methods by which he secured the nomination and the agents who were instrumental in pushing him to the front, represented the most cor- rupt elements in the Republican party. The men who have made railroad Repub licanism a stench in the nostrils of all honest voters in this state ran the mill which ground out Mr. Reeso as its grist Were he not as utterly unflt for the posi tion, as he is admitted to be, his defeat would be necessary in order to teach the Churche Howes, and Yosts, and Geres, and Hascalls, the agents of corporate monopoly in Nebraska, that the people propose to select and elect their own candidates with a regard only to their honesty and competency and not to the orders of the railroad managers, STATE JOTTINGS Wahoo has pledged £10,000 to the Salina & Decatur line. ‘The now Methodist church at Lincoln will cost $40,000.

A brakeman on the St. Paul road named A. L. Ward was crushed to death while coupling cars at Blair last Thursday evening. Prairie fires have been rs%ing along the line of the B. & M., west of Lincolu .fimng the past week doing great damage to growing timber. The coal discovery, seven miles west of Weeping Water, on the farm of Mr. Strick- land, promises to be a veritable boon for Cass county. Re. Rev.

LEON KOPALD, Proprietor. The undersigned are prepared to winter ‘horses The Captain of police at the Central ocrats and Repubiicans. During the Holly fight we were just as sovere on Slaven, Kaufman and Barney Shannon as we were on Hascall and Labagh. In the sandstone swindle we did not draw party lines. Cur position, summed up, is simply this. In national campaigns Tae Bee hus always supported Republican candi- dates because it regarded the principles of the Republican party paramount. In local campaigns we have not been for the party right or wrong. We have advised Republicans to support an honest Demo- crat in preference to a dishonest Repub- lican, We have above all things insisted that railroad cappers shall not legislate for us nor shall they disponse justice in our courts, This has been our position and this will be our position lot the con- sequences be what they may. Sowms of the enthusiastic supporters of Mr. Reese for the supreme bench are accusing this paper of waging what they candidate. Tue Beg is opposing Mr. Reese openly and fairly on grounds which any one who reads can understand. We oppose him first because he is a man of too small ealibre for the high pusition of Judye of the Supremo Court. He is fitted neither by education or ex- perience to perform the duties of the office, His record in Nebraska has been that of a poor'city clerk at Plattsmouth, a small bore attorney in Saunders county and an ordinarily good prosecuting at- torney for the Fourth Judicial district, We oppose him in the second place because he is absolutely without judicial experience, He has never sat a duy on any judical bench.
