The resolutions adopted by the George A. Custer post, G. A. R, of Omaha, relative to the non-political eharacter of their order, and the impropriety of inter- forence hy that body in behalf of their late commander, bring us once more to Paul Vandervoort's case. Two months ago Postmaster General Gresham issued an order dismissing Van- dervoort from the position of chief head clerk of tho railway mail service at Omaha. Thereupon Vandervoort, who had boen during the previous year com- mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, blew a bugle blast of defi- ance, and appealed to the old veterans to resent the outrage, as he called it. He first appeared in the role of martyr at the suldiers’ reunion of the Grand Army held at Hastings in Soptember, and a promis- cuous crowd of men and women, who had gathered about him, after a camp- fire, voted a set of resolutions prepared for the occasion, expressing indignation at Goneral Gresham's course, and deep sympathy for the beheaded victim of official des; otism. Vandervoort returned to Omaha post- haste, and wrote a sensational dispatch which ho directed and had snt to the Associated Press, This dispatch represented the city of Omaha and the state of Nebraska in a condition bordering on revolt. The pooplo were said to be worked wp to the highest pitch of excitement and fury over Vandervoort's removal, and twenty thousand veteran members of tho Grand Army were depicted as rising with one voico to rebuke General Gresham and demand the immediate withdrawal of his order, Not content with trying to im- poso upon the postmaster-general and the country by such barefaced falsehoods, Vandervoort endeavored to rally tho Grand Army posts all over tho union in his own behalf, to dictate an uncondi- tional withdrawal of his discharge. His bombastic appeals impossd upon credu- lous ears, in various quarters, and well- nigh brought the Grand Army into dis- reputo and disgrace, At Pittsburgh and at Leavenworth soldiers’ reunions were misled into vot- ing Vandervoort a gallant martyr, whose sacrifices in time of war, and services in time of peaco entitled him to the most generous indulgence on the part of the government. Had the soldiers known his true character; had they known his record asa soldier and acquainted them- selves with the reasons which impelled the postmaster-gencral to dismiss him they would have shed no tears over the supposed injustice done to one of their Vandeavoort could with impunity imposo upon the eredulous where he was not kvown, but here in Omaha, where his career is notorious he could not muster a corporal’s guard to old comrades. support his claims. The old sol- diers in Omaha know this man to be & consummate fraud and brazen impostor. As a soldier he never smolled gunpowder, and never was withn no hundred miles of a battle. His war record consists of six months service as commissary clerk at Aloxan- dria, re-enlisted for bounty, a cowardly surrender to the rebels, a few months at Bello Isle and Libby, a parole, and a dischargo. Not a scar on his body, nor o hair harmed on his head. He went into the army a private, and came out as a private, without even a brovet as a cor- poral. And where did this warrior get the titlo of ‘“‘General?” Not in the army, nor even among the mail sacks, He first posed as *‘Major” Vandervoort in Omaha. Then theward bummers who trained with him dubbed him *‘Colonel.” After he leaped into the seat of com- mander-in-chief of the Grand Army at one leap he assumed the title of *‘Gen- eral.” In his onso, as in many others, titles do not make men great. Vander- voort made his advent in Omaha as a scheming politician. The mail sorvice was a secondary matter with him. His ambition was to rise to some great offie, and to that end he directed all his energies. The railway mail service became a ro- cruiting office for bummers, deadbeats and genteel tramps. Vandervoort organ- ized his subordinates into platoons and at overy primary detailed the clerks from the mail cars for political duty, while in- competent substitutes were assigned to service on the road. To relate the in- famies and outragos that were porpotrat- ed upon the patrons of the post-office under the Vandervoort regime would fill » volume as large as the latest history of Nebraska, By exerting his sublime cheek and using all the resources of the servico coupled with a free distribution of railroad passes, Vandervoort worked himself into the confidence of a por- tion of the Grand Army in the state, Finally ho pushed himself to the front and asked for Nebraska’s support in the national encampment as their candidate for commander-in-chief, This was cheor- fully conceded because nobody believed that Nebraska's candidate had a ghost of a show, but in the contest over the vari- ous claimants, the west was finally awsrd- ed the honor and Vandervoort suddenly rose to the highest position within the gift of the order. Having reached that eminence his insolence bacame as bound- less as his cheek. He imagined that the government owed him a life pension, and that no postmaster-general would dare to displace him, no matter how he con- ducted himself. Grave charges of neg- lect of duty and malfeasance had been repeatedly proforrel agniust him before he had become commander-in-chief, and he always managed to got himself white- washed, When Postmaster - General Gresham ordered him to resume his duties, which he had neglected to perform for 205 days out of a year, he turned a deaf ear, and went on a junket- ing tour, with his family, to Idaho. The ordered another man to take his place without further ceremony. Vandervoort's lying manifesto has been published far and wide. It has created a false impression abroad, but it has de- enived nobody here. The resolutions jnst adopted by the Custer post, G. A. R., of this city, of which Paul Vander- voort is a member, afford ample proof that the comrades who know him best be- liove him to have been justly dealt with, A sober second thought must convince every member of the noble order, which Vandervoort has sought to use as a cloak for his selfish ends, that he is utterly un- worthy of its sympathy, much less en- titled to its active interference. He is not a crippled veteran, shot to picces in battle, nor friendless, nor homeless but a woll-preserved, able-bodied, vigorous politician, who bravely fought the rebels an comminsary elerk, and ever since he came home from goreless battle fields has been fed at the public crib, VINDICATED. Professor Aughey i receiving many flattoring notices since his *‘vindication, " not only from Stato papers, but from the enstorn’ press, — Republican, The less the fool friends of the profes- aor say about his *‘vindication” the better it will be for him. Putting the most charitablo construction upon the conduct of tho professor he is not left in a very enviablo plight. To got out of the very sad dilemma he had to confess himself the confidential friend and associate of a rogue and a forger. He had to plead the baby act when he found that the names of his friends had been forged to borrow money with which to pay notes which he had signed and was unable to meet. He had to confess that this vile forger, Vigenham, had applied the pro- ceeds of these forged notes not for his own use but to protect Aughey’s credit in the banks, Could anything be pitiful than tho pretense that this man Aughey was not morally the accessory of Vigenham, if such a person as Vigenham ever oxisted. Coupled with the notorious endorsements whish Prof. Aughay, as one of the faculty of the State University of Nebraska, had made for a mere pittance for patent nos- trums, artificial stone, Cclorado sand- stone, and bogus coal mines, his so-called vindication reflects very little credit upon the men who compose the board of re- gents of the State University. We allude to this matter in no spirit of malice or vindictiveness, but in justice to truth that is so systomatically porverted by a venal and subsidized press, with a reck- less regard to tho effect upon the rising more generation. Tt would seom as if any man, no matter how corrupt or indiscreet, can be vindicated in this state. The highminded, honora- ble, upright officer is below par. Faith- ful services and conscientious discharge of duty are scorned and regarded as the acts of a *‘chump,” to use a slangy but apt- expression. It does not pay to be rigidly honest and strictly truthful, when every rogue gocs unwhipped of justice and even receives the plaudits of the lackeys who bask in the sunshine of pros- perous mm:nlit!

The ropublican members of the last legisla- ture were as a rule opposed to the aboli- tion of contract labor, and so voted.

For a consideration of 8500,000 a year in money the Northern Pacific Company has contracted with the Union and Central " [dised by the United States. Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Atchison and Topeka to refrain from competition with the latter for the trade of this city and State. The meaning of this is that no passenger can buy a ticket here.or ship freight from here by way of the Northern Pacific to points on the Missouri or east of that river, without first paying the fare or freight ‘on a sop- arate account from here to Portland, and the rule works the same way against per- sona coming from or shipping goods from the Bast to San Francisco or any point in California by way of the Northern Paci- fie. Tickets and freight wil only be sold as far as Portland, and from there down a separate account is to be kept and dis- tinct charges made. After the ¢'ctober meeting of transcontinental railway man- agors here it was_announced, as a point gained in the interess of the California public and the merchants of San Fran- cisco, that the Villard system had reso- lutely declined a proposal on the part’ of tho Central and Union system to adept the latter’s special con- tract method for the punishment of those who ship by any other than the Califor- nia monopoly's route. This refusal was hastily interpreted to mean that the Vil- lard company intended active competi- tion and if necessary a cutting of rates to secure a large share of the San Fran- cisco traffic. This last agreement leaves us quite as much out in the cold as we were hefore the completion of the North- ern Pacific and to the extent of $500,000 a year still worse off. For nothing in the future is more certain than that the companies that pay this bribe to Villard's company to keop hands off will tax the transportation business of this city and state to the extent of the bribo. As they own and control the Board of Railroad Commissioners, what is to hinder them ? They can easily make up the amount this year by overchargesin the transportation of the surplus grain crop of the state. ‘We now fully realize the truth of the sometime paradoxical statement that rail roads combine, but do not as a rule com- pete. So far as this city and State are interested we had been $500,000 a year better off without the Northern Pacitic. It was constructed at a cost in land of $100,000,000 to the people of the United States, to aid in the development of the resources of tho country, and especially of the Pacific coast, and tho very best mode of carrying out this intent of the law authorizing and endowing it 8o rich- ly is by active competition and reduction of rates, whereby production is stimulat- ed. But by the scratch of the company’s pen wo seo this intent set ab naught and a bribe for combination with other com- panys having a monopoly of transporta- tion for two-thirds of this coast accepted a8 & substitute for competition, the sum of the bribe to be wrung from the public by extortionate rates, = Every dollar of the §500,000 paid by the corporations whose roads terminate here will be taxed against our business and production. And when tho Oregon Short-cut and the California wnd Oregon are completed, the same will ho repeated. It appears from all this that the more transcontinental corporation roads we got the more tightly we shall be bound in the chains of the combination. The remedy of this evil isin the hands of Congress. It has choice of either of two plans, or it may adopt and enforce both. The first and easiest, but perhaps not the most of- fective, is to cnact a general law for the regulation of the rates of all roads upon interstate traffic. Such a law would have to bo enforced by Federal commissioners, and we now know by costly experience with the railroad commission in this State that the railroad managers would be like- ly to control any such commission and render its object futile and its existence an oxpensive nuisance, The second plan is for Congress to authorize the Govern- ment to build or buy a scparate road which it shall own, control and operate— not to make money for the treasury, but in the interest of the poople and as a grand regulator of all the corporation roads. There never has been, there never can be, more than one objection urged against this plan which is that it would enlarge the influence of the party m‘imwur in the creation of new offices and Federal cmployes. The answer to this is that the corporations are now ex- erting a great deal more political * influ- ence than the posseston of one road would give the Government, and that the party in power is always closely watched and mercilessly criticised by a party not fin power but almost as strong as the part ower. There is no constitutional prohi- AR plan. That question was amply discussed in reference to a nation- al turnpike road half a century ago, and Inhh\in the ablest statements from the - | it has gone on increasing most distinguished scientific men of all countries in their bearing upon the high- er problems of investigation. Leaving the dry and technical details of science, which are of chief concern to specialists, to the journals devoted to them, The Popular Scienco Monthly has dealt with thote more general and practical subjects which are of the greatest interest and importanee to the people at large.

D., in Popular Science Monthly for November. Thero are agood many reasons why physicians should hase opinions about the education of youth rather different from those held by most of the public and of the professional characters. ~Their whole art is founded on the study of the humau being—his beginning, his devel- opment, his course, his decay, and his death, All his structures and all his functions are carefully inquired into, A doctor must now-a-days be a physioli- gist, and a physioligist includes the men- tal as well as bodily functions of man in his range of inquiry. In fact, it is one of the peculiaritics of the physiological mode of studying human nature that man is looked on as a whole—body and mind together—a umty, in which they can not be studied apart from each other. Then the practical aims of modern medicine foun&ed on this enlarged study of man are getting to be more and more con- centrated on measures for the prevention of diseases, and not merely for their cure. To provent disease one must con- trol the conditions of life. Especially in youth, when the human being is most amenable to influences for good and evil that affect the whole future life, must one regulate the conditions of life, if health is to be preserved. The doctor finds that health means far more than a good digestion. It means a conscious sense of well-being all over, contentment, power of work, capacity to resist evil in- fluences, and, to some extent good mo- rality. It means a sound mind in a sound body. The process and the method of education undoubtedlyinfluencehealth strongly. If the educator has dam- aged the health, the doctor is expected to put it right. An important part of the physician's duty is to study the sum- total of a man's hereditary tendencies, and his bodily weak or strong points, what is commonly called his constitution. He finds that eduoation in many of its modern forms may be either a most help- ful or & most dangerous process to many constitutions. In fact, the modern phy- sician is rather disposed to set up as the skilled engineer of the human machine, and the authoritative exponent of its |~rurer treatment in all its departments, both when it is working rightly as well as when it goes wrong. —— A Political Secret, From tho Texas Siftings. “‘Don’t you feel sorry that I was defeat- aftorwards by Benton and others in the Senato, when the scheme of & Paichic raiload first entored congress-—both times in favor of the ower of congress to do such works and of the government to manage them as its own property.
