The result in Nebraska is not known at the hour of writing and may not be for sovoral days to como, Out machinery for counting and collecting the returns is very imperfect, and tho facilitios for transmitting and collecting them are meager. Even in the two largest cities, Omaha and Lincoln, the count will not bo complete before a late hour this morning. The intorest contors chiefly on the con- test for Supreme Judge and on the district judges in the closely contested districts. The managers of the Republican campaien claim all the way from 5,000 to 8,000 for Mr. Reese and they pretend to believe that only the First and Seventh judicial districts are in doubt. Weap prehend that the returns will show that they have overshot the mark. Mr. Recse may be electod Supreme Judge, but his majority will fall considorably below Thero is little, if any, doubt of Colby's defeat in the First district, and there is some doubt as to four or five other dis. tricts claimed as sure by the Republi- cans, It will take the official figures per- haps to aacertain definitoly the result on Suprome Judgo and several of tho dis- trict judges and district attorneys. DANGERS OF AGGREGATED WEALTH. One of the greatest causcs of danger to the people of the United Statos is the very liberty which is also its greatest boaat. In no other country on the globe does liberty, social, political and religious, run so often to license. Our country is hampered by tho fewest restraints, our press is tho most rabid and vindictive, and our political campaigns the cruelest of any nation. The chargesmado against us as a people, that wo do not sufficiently assert our own rights, and in turn do not sufficiently respect the rights of others, is in a large sense truo. Our view of liberty is too generally that of relaxed restraints; that of letting men and things very much alone instead of liberty in that higher sense in which it is tho restraint of the powerful and the protection of the weak against the encroachments of the strong. The very composition ef our socicty, as Herbert Spencor has well pointed out, makes a dosiro for money getting, irre- spective of the means of acquisition, moro powerful than where class distinc- tions render it prrctically impracticable to overcome the obstacles of birth and social condition. As has been well said by that distinguished writer, ‘‘Freo in- stitutions can only be worked by men each of whom is jealous of his own rights and also of the rights of ethers, who will neither aggress nor tolerate aggression.” This tendency is most noticeable in the growing aggression of aggregated wealth. It nceds no Herbert Spencer to point out'to us that the growth of corpo rate power is the greatest dangor that to- day threatens the structure of oursociety, Itis building up a privileged class of mil- lionaire barons who boldly defy public sontiment and use their wealth to ride Ty rough shod over every commercial prin- ciple inthe race to increase their for- tunes. By its means the poor are made pooter and the rich richer while an un- healthy speculative spirit has been fostered and sharp dealing and shrewd swindling on a gigantic scale, have been substituted for honest industry as the quickest and surest road to wealth. Nor has the influence of corporate wealth the State itself. become a foatureof every legislative body, will of their masters. boen less detrimental to the institutions of free government than to the tone of the general gociety. The feeling is rapidly sproading, that a power is being built up within the State which is greater than Tho railroad lobby has Paid agents of great corporations not only form a third house, but sit in Con- gress, Legislatures and municipallcouncils to control legislation and shape the laws for the benefit of gigantic monopolies al- ready rich from the earnings of the peo- ple. Their creaturesswarm inour courts, drag the judicial ormine in the filth of official cerruption, and their executives twist tho exocution of the laws to the As tho evil is directed against the peo- ple, 80 must the remedy come from the people, There is need of prompt and swoeping yet careful logislation to meet the danger; legislation which will throw greater safoguards around the creation of corporations, which will prevent as far as possiblo the worst phuses of incipient #peculation, make stock watering impos- siblo and do away forever with the wrongs of overcapitalization of public corporations. This must be the basis of any adequate romedy for the evil. It must be followed by Laws restricting the unlicensed operation of monopoliea by limiting the charges of common carriors, and compelling the publication of statements by all corpora- tions which perform a public function. Above all, wo must have an educated public sentiment which will ery @ halt to the dangerous aggressions of the wealthy few upon the rights of the impovorished many; oflices of trust filled by men who cannot be bought or threatened; a bench ocoupied by judges who will honestly in- - | terpret the laws, and a Congross com- posed of legislators who eare more for the applause of their honest constituentsthay for the jingle of gold, Itis o great problem which is facing us. Its mighty importance is now just beginning to attract that general atten- tion which the gravity of the situation de- mands, The shadow of an influence more powerful thau the resonrces of the Stato and National Government, in- trenched behind chartered priviloges, recklessly granted by tho people, and butrossed with & power of accumulated millions is hanging over the ropublic, The alarm “note is eounded from a score Andorson, chief engineer and head of construction departeent; John Muir, traffic manager (settlement of rates and #£ares), and €ol.

If accumulated wealth heaped up by diverting prosperity from the ordinary chanmels of a genoral distribution is not to rule this country, shape its laws, speak through its courts and bhend our entire soctal fabric to its own ends, the people must arouse themselves to action, and take such steps toward checking the ovil as the growing danger to the | public demand TirAT American ingenuity has not been idle during the past year is shown by the report of the Commissioner of Patents which is now ready fer the inspection of Congress. Notwithstanding the large number of easos which have been nacted upon during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1883, the work of the office is largely in arrears and daily accumulating. The Commissioner assigns two causes for this state of affairs, namely, incrensing bust- nese and a force insuffiient to the trans- actipns. During the year the number of applications for patents, including, re- ns, trade marks, and labels, exceeded those of last year by and were 10,828 in excess of those 1881, Facts like these apeak well for the intel- ligonce and mventive gonius of the coun- try. The applications of all kinds dur- ing the past fiscal year numbero , 704, while the caveats filed to protect inven- isues, d .| the question arisos, should not the gov tions in course of being perfected amonnted to 2,688, © The number of pa- tents granted, including reissues and de- eigns, was 21,185, In the same period 883 trademarks and 618 labels were reg- istered. The receipts of the office for the past three fiscal years have been as fol- lows: 1881, 8780,805; 1882, £030,864; and in 1883, £1,005,884, Theincrease of recoipts over 1881 is £305,989, and over 1882, £165,020. The surplus carnings of the office for the year is shown to be £391,636.25, end this, the commissioner says, increases the fund deposited in the treasury to the credit of the patent ofiice to nearly two and one-half millions of dol- lars. In view of the large annual surplus the commissioner recommends a reduve- tion of fees, and suggests that Congress g0 amend the law as to graduate the feo in accordance with the character and na- ture of the invention for which a patent is asked. He also recommends that pro- vision be made for publication in the Official Gazette of all legal decisions af- fecting patents, in order that inventors and the publie may fully understand to what extent their rights aro affected by such decisions. This suggestion is agood one, and Congress should act favorably upon it. Now 1iar Omaha has bogun to put on a moetropolitan appearance along with metropolitan pretensions, our citizens who own property in the busi- ness centre of town will do well to estimate the advantages of building strongly and substantially for the future. Ten years ago the number of brick blocks and separate stores erected of, that material were few, and the larger proportion weroe two and three story structures. The absence of an ex- tended fire limit made it possible for the many non-residents, whose only interest in their property was in 1ts income, to build and maintain one and two story shantics in the heart of town. Those which still remain on Farnam and Doug- las streots must soon go. Property has become too valuable to be occupied by such buildings. And along with the ad- vance in real estate has come a demand for ofices and for storage lofts which promises to fully utilize the vacant top floors of all the buildings which we are likely to ere:t for several years to come. The time has come for Omaha to build four and five story business houses. The introduction of water works has brought with it the elevator, and the highest floors are acarcely less available for rent- ing purposes than the second. St. Paul learned this lesson five years ago and sinco 1880 has added four and a half miles of business blocks, & large propor- tion of which are five story buildings. Sevoral large wholesale firms have been unable to come into Omaha this year on account of the lack of suitable accom- modations, It will pay to build for the future. The two and three story bricks must go, Brrwees edmissions and denials, as- sertions and counter assertions, it is hard to got at the truth concerning the alleged crueltios committed upon the Anamites by the Freneh near Hue at the time of its capture, According to the original report of an ofiicer in the Pavis Figaro the French were guilty of the utmost in- humanity in cutting down hundreds of defensely natives after their surrender. Some time afterward this oflicer, who professed to have been an oyo-witness of the enormities, was arrestod on the ground that he had written a letter which was caleulated to disgrace the French soldiery in the eyes of the civilized world, In other words, it was pretended that the report was a calumny; but it was ob- served at the time that no official denial was made by the War Department. The latest reports from Saigon confirm the original statement. If it bo true that Admiral Courbet directed that no quar- ter should be given to men, women and children, or even permitted this ruthloss slrughter, the French Government has & terriblo account to settle. In its war with China, if war should come, it would start out bereft of the friendship end sympathy of all civilized na Land Grant Rai ds, Philadelphia Bvening Call The amount of land given by the gov- ernment to what is known as the **lnd grent railroade" is enormous, The Union 1on's Brain Food, Whleh Prompuiy ahd 2 ‘il ety reutrma 0 Jout, S Ty At P, [over #1 pky., 0 for 85, —At druggis facts die and Oentral Pacific roads, in addition to the fifty million acres of Jands,were aided by the guarantee of their bonds. The land alone was sufficient to build them, but the bonds have been sold, and a vast sum in interest paid h{ the United States, The Northern Pacific received over forty-eight million acres of land, but no endorsement of bonds. The At- Iantic and Pacific received over 40,000,- 000 acres of land. The Texas and Pacific received 10,240 acres per miléfrom Texas and 12,800 from the United States in California and 25,000 per mile in the Ter- ritories. Of course the policy of grant- ing public lands to railroads is atan end. But having done so much forthose roads, h control over mont to the peo ernment exerci them to secure fai plo and justice o itself? Tho trans.continental lines are prac cally n unit as to business and charges, The owners of the Central Pacific, who are unitod with Jay Gould, now control all lines which come into California, They dire ntrolling interost in ail lines; and, when the North- ern Pacific was rocently compieted, it was compelled to agree to rates made for all lines in San Francisco, The policy of these lines is to charge a given rate on through traffic, and requir rates to support the lines, Under this plan the farmers and tradesmen along their line at their mercy. And the policy pursued is to ex- tort as much as they possibly can, not to absolutely destroy business or industry along their lines. Were tho ordinary laws of competition active, this need not excite apprehension, as the enot correct iteelf; but in the consolidated in- |} fluence that controls these lines this will not be possible for y only possibility of comp over roads that run partially through Mexican _territory, and these cannot af- ford much relief. The fact that the Thurman law is not producing as much, in the way of repay- ment of interest, as was oxpected, will probably lead to the subject being rare- fully considered by next Congress. It can, under its recognized right to compel the repayment of intereat, either enact laws to secure to the treasury a much larger revenue than now received, or it can compel & policy that shall inure to the benefit of the general public. It may be that the latter will be best, if it can be legally reached. There is a vast popu- lation peuring into the regions opened up by the newly built roads. It comprises the best element in our population, and deserves all the aid it can properly reccive in accomplishing its mission.” If railroads will be content to make a simple dividend on real capital, rates can be given that will insure the rapid settlement and the swift prosperity of our fertile prairies. Alone, uncontrolled, the railroads will not do this, Their policy is to get all they can and not absolutely prevent growth.

The land given tho railroad was taken from the people. Admit all that may be said as to the wisdom of the first of these grants, it still remains true that public lands, which, under the homostead laws, belonged to the people, were given to railroads. Admit, too, that the original gift was squandered, and it still is true that the corporations benefited owe somethiug to the generosity of tho gov- ernment, and to the people whose patri- mony was taken, and at the commg session of congress this whole subject should be-considered in the light of the interests of the government and people.

I earnestly conmend it to all comrades of the Or- der.” PAUL VANDERVOORT, Commander-in-Chief, G. A. Grand Army Gazette. The above, cut from one of the Claim Agent’s papers, published in Washington by one of the largest Claim Agent ewners, and which concern has become rich off the foes from the “‘poor soldiers,” as he terms them, accounts for the taffy pub- lished in itscolumns, whereitalludes tothe Paul Vandevoort removal matter. The editor of this Claim Agent's paper says Paul was poor when he went out. Does this writer forget that this same Paul drew his salary nearly the whole year he was commander-in-chief, and in 265 days drew and spent £2,000 of the G. A. R. monies, at the rate of £7.50 per day, and that his traveling expenses and hotel bills were ir. nearly every instance paid by posts and departmenta, and that he es on nearly every road, and where pl::‘ had no passes he himself bragged that he traveled on tho green of the postoflico department, and this while bn G. A. R. business. Away with sentimentalism. Paul Vandervoort is no more'than any other comrade of 8§ the G. A. R. He neglected his official du‘tly to the government, he was removed and aq should any man be who neglects hisduty, Tho G. A. R. did not noed him to travel all over the country and spend its funds, nor does it require any one person to do so. To make the asser- tion that he does, bi & slur upon the whole order, and simply makes the name of tho G. A, R, a by-word of reproach, Already this controversy has lessened the dignity of the G. A R. in the opinion” ef the public. Does every old soldier ask tor and L)ccul(? an oftice simply to draw the pay and do no work? Do the Claim Agents papers, who earn their money easy, think t every old soldier must fleeco the Government bd. causie they are 5o easily fleccod by their Claim Agents? It 1s easily said that Post-Mastor General Grosham has violat- ed the R, & It., as a comrade for remov- ing a neglectful clerk, Weo think Mr, Gresham is to be commended for doing his duty. Mr, Paul Vandervoort as Commander-in-Chief should havo set an example to oflice holders and attended to his duties, But_instead of obeying his obligation, which is *“To encourage honor and purity in public aftairs,” &c., he violates u{u same by shirking his duty and taking Government pay. Ifany one should be removed it should be him, We noticed also in anissuo of this Claim Agent's paper an article written by one wfio suggests raising » fund for this dis- ehlrguffilurk. We should suggest to this individual to remember that before he advises others to devote funds, he pays debs to those that he owes.

New York Ti The time is coming, and spoedily, when it will be less easy than now to roll up a fortune of a hungred million dollars in this State by ‘‘watering” railroad and telegraph stocks. The public has been made familiar with the most intimate workings of this scheme of plunder and others akin to it. The lessons it has learned from its Jay Goulds and Vander- bilts have been costly, but they are well memorized. Indignant protests against corporate rapacity are heard on all sides from men who a few years ago looked upon the New York Central .Railroad Company and the Western Union Tel- ograph Company as semi-benevolent in- stitutions, managed by men who were content to serve the public for a modest recompense. The public is awakened, and even our Chamber of Commerce, which is an extremely conservative and deliberate body, has been aroused. It spoke out yesterday in condemnation of stock watering in emphatic and unmistak- able terms, ‘When the Chamber of Commerce unani- mously adopts a report in which, among other declarations of similar tenor, it is asserted that ‘‘stock waterings similar to the late issue of $13,000,0000f Manhattan Elovated Railway stock constitute a grave offense against the community and should be made a misdemeanor by law,” the least intelligent reader of ‘the report { knows precisely what is meant.

U’;;furtunntelv, the nast iniquities of Mr. Gould and his fellow-offenders can- not be adequately punished by laws yet to be made, though the unjust profits of their stocks manipulations may be law- fully lossoned. ut the legislation sug- | gested as a safe-guard for t‘f:: future in | the report of the Chamber of Commerce's Committee on Railroad Trans- | portation ought to be enacted at the | coming session, And if a bill having in view the protection of the public from plunder by stock watering should be in- i | troduced it will bo well for every member | CORNER 11TH AND FARNAM STS of the Legislature to understand that it will be very dangerous to yield to any | form of ‘‘pressure” from the corporations | to protect their intorests at the sacrifice of the people's.
