We say this in | no epirit of anger or impatience - it is a ‘.umph proposition, and not .a threat. The charge of railroad ownership is this state to a ne Aper of larceny would be to an individual, It is injurious, and, if untrue, is distinctly | and criminally libellous. The present owners of the Zegblican are making every possible effort to mnin | tain and improve a journal representa [tive of Omaha, Nebraska a the west., T'he bustness which they transact is legit- imate and the course which they pursue is honest. That at every varn they should bo met by a certain small but noisy crowd of opposition journals, with the | assertion that they are the slaves or tools of a railroad company, using the money of the company, and” possessing 10 sort of moral, political or financial independ- ence, is worse than aggravating--it is absolutely outrageous. Asa | ter of fact, the peoplo of many of whom are this paper, have a right to whether or not this charge is true. They want a newspaper upon which they can_rely—and if the Zecpublican is o “railroad organ,” it i not such a_paper. For thei ke, and for the sake of itself, this journal proposes to take advantage of the next direct e in any reputa- ble newspaper that it is owned by a rail- rond company, and prosecute the matter in the courts, The railroad job-work is divided amoug nearly all the printing houses of Omaha. The Republican receives a portion of it, if it makes the lowest bid, but it is nc more dependent upon that work for finan- cial existence than it is upon the Lincoln Democrat for news,—[Omaha Republi- can. Nebraska This compound of sublune impudence and braZen falschood is reproduced under flaring headlines by the Lincoln Jouwrnal as “‘a few pertinent words properly put on a profitable occasion by an untram- nielod press.” Only three days ago the Lingoln Journal anmounced that a special edition of fifty thousand copies of its weekly had been ordered by the Burling- ton & Missouri Rivor Railroad company, and would be circulated far and wide by that corporation. Untrammeled press! Profitable occasion! What a set of cow- ardly ingrates these corporation organs are that deny their masters, whilo the brass collar is visible through their cravats, Audacious impostors ought to have a good momory, but the wrotched lickspittle who fawns upon Tom Kimball, and who does his bidding like a serf, seems to forget that he cannot masquer- ade as an untrammeled journalist with- out betraying himself at every step, like the ass in the lion’s skin, If the Omaha Republican wants any proof in court that it is to-day as much under the Union Pacific control as it was when that company owned the larger share of its stock, we will afford them an opportunity, This paper is perfectly responsible and solvent, The Beg publishing company owns at least £40,000 in real and personal property, which is entirely free from encumbrance. Letit be known and proclaimed that The Omaha Republican has for many years been, and is now, a Union Pacific organ in all that the term implies, 1t is true that the railroad company was forced to transfer its stock in that paper to the present owners to avoid exposure by legislative investigation of its owner- ship in newspapers. But the railroad continues to hold its grip upon the con- cern through its immense patronage. The assertion that the railroad printing is divided among nearly all the printing houses of Omaha, and is given out to the lowest bidder, is notoriously false, A few crumbs are thrown here and there to the small job offices, but the bulk of the printing, binding, lithographing, etc., ig "given to The Republicun and The Herald, while The Omaha Post, a read- erless Germany paper, is subsi- dized with the foreign printing. The aggregate of this railroad patronage cannot fall short of 50,000 a year, Itis the mainstay and prop of the subsidized organs, and but for that the Zepublican would have gone to the wall years ago. It is true that bids are taken for mere form's sake on a few orders, but this is a farce. Ono of the small job printing houses, not many months ago, offered to do certain work for $12 per lot. It was awarded to the Republican for £16. That article was a sample of a large nuig- ber which they subsequently furnishedat the same price. The papers that receive such profitable subsidies are bound hand and foot. They dare not peep, if the railreads should con- fiscate and destroy property and rob the people in broad daylight. The Republican truthfully says that the charge of railroad ownershipisin this state to a newspaper what a charge of larceny would be to an individual, This means grand larceny, of course. How was it when the Unicn Pacific rallway, through its officers, held undisputed title to the Zepublican! Has here been any change except a transfer of stock! The sume person edits the Republican now that was its editor then, How long is it since he went to Kearney to buy @ paper for the Union Pacific! And yet he pretends to be insulted and outraged because people believe him to i be the same tool now that he was before what a charge | n mat- | patrons of | know | he bought that Zepnitican stock.

No army officer ought to be allowed to travel cn a railroad pass. The g+vernment has made ample provision for his transportation by rail when he is traveling in the discharge of hisduty. Tf he is traveling for pleas- ure or upon a private errand he ought to pay fare like any other man. The private soldier is never favored with railroad passes except as an object of charity. The army officer should not lower his calling by acoepting a charity gift from a railroad. But the rair.ad managers, who are so liberal with their passes to army officers, do not consider this an act of charity. When they give a pass to an army officer, they expect more than its equivalent in favors which the officer can hardly ever extend with- out doing violence to his conscience. 1f it is a land grant railroad like the Union Pacific, he can increase its earn- ings in various ways, or close his eyen when the agents of the company present inflated vouchers. which are placed to the company’s credit in its ac- count with the government. The whole railroad pass system, excopt where it is a must be kept within the appro- counts, legitimate exchange of commodities, fs a refined system of bribery and its effect on the army is beginning to make itself felt in the excessive mileage accounts which the secretary of war has just been compelied to curtail. Tue other day General McBeath, the present commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, published a card over his own name, wherein he states that he has thoroughly investigat- ed the charges against Paul Vandervoort on file at the postoffice department, and finds that Vandervoort has been unjustly removed. Now, it strikes us, that Mr, McBeath has assumed extraordinary functions, which certainly do not belong to his position, Suppose that Vander- voort was a member of the Masonic or- of the Knights of Pythias, what business would the grand master of either of these orders have to interpose his au- thority between the postmaster general and a subordinate who is discharged for neglect of duty and incompetency, Does the government of the United States owe Vandervoort a living, even if he were ever 8o competent! What business has the head of the Grand Army of the Re- public, which is purely a benevolent and social organization, to interpose on be half of any member who has been dis-. charged from government employ! Would General McBeath take the trou- ble to investigate the cause of removal of any veteran, even if he had lost both legs'in the war, from the railway mail service or any other bureau’ Is Van- dervoort, who was never within a hun- dred miles of a battle, and never received a Jscratch, any better than the dis. abled veteran who prrticipated in scores of engagements and is now compelled to seek a living Ly some easy employment! But Mr. McBeath does not know anything about the capacity of Vandervoort or his conduct, and he only belittles himself and the Girand Army by championing & bummer whom the post- master-general should have dismissed years ago for dishonest practices and in- attention to business.

New York Evcning Post. The great dificulty with which the Democratic party has had to contend ever since the close of the war is that nobody cither in_or out of it was able to say exactly what its doctrines were, Its plat- forms have consisted in the main during all that permd of what are called ‘“‘ar- raignments” of the republican party, coupled with declarations in favor of three or four of the elementary virtues, such as truth, justice, and honesty. This went on so long that it naturally brought about what seemed to be a complete dis- appearance of constructive statesmanship from its ranks. For many years back even the mgstable and enlightened demo- crat has not been able to say anything for his party much better than that he thought democrats would fill the federal offices botter than the republicans, Lately, even this pretence was laid aside, and the cry was raised that the republicans should be turned out, without any explanation of what was to take their place. The feeble attempt made in 1880 to advocate a tarifl for revenue only, and its cowardly abandonment during the canvass, made it seem as if the party, as an organization, was completely ruined, and that nothing but reconstruction on a new basis or with new materials would enable it to take the field again, either at the north or at the south, with any chance whatever of suc- ces. No party can exist or ever has exist- cd a8 a fighting force, upon the vices or shortcomings of its opponents simply. A party in opposition may possibly maintain itself for two or three years,or at a single election, upon the mistakes or vices of the administration, but it cannot do it for twenty years. A party which during twenty years’ opposition does nothing to lay hold of the generation that grows up in that interval, must make up his mind to stay in oppo- sition indefinately. The democratic party, if we may judge from Mr. Carlisle’s clec: tion, has at least, begun to realize this fact. It has lost nearly all hold of the youth and intelligence of the country for the want of any positive policy; and~ has lost all hold of the women of the country through frilure to supply anything which appeiles in the least_degreo to tho imagi- nation in politics. It is apparently going to turn over a new leaf, and to propose something in the way of legislation for the country to reject. Of course, how- ever, this is not at all certain. It is one thing to elect a speaker by way of en- dorsing his opinions on the leading ques- tion of the day; it is another thing tojem- body those opinibasin the party ,\hu form, and defend them on the stump. After what happened in 1880, one cannot feel at ail sure that the party will not, at the eleventh hour, faill to show the cour- afe of its convietions. For the present, however, the demo- crats are to all outward appearance com- mitted to the polhey of a gradual reduc- tion of the tarifl' for revenue only, There are two ways for the republican to meet this, One is to tent democratic sincerity by co-oporating heartily in the careful and moderate reduction of taxation,which is now very clear the country demands. The republican party built up our present system of taxation, and thas gono a good way to paying off the war debtr it should, therefore, make a special effort to to take the lead in bringing back that system to the normal peace footing, even if that be a protectionist footing, The other way is to shirk all discussion of our present system of taxation by denying that there 1s any fault to be found with it, either as regards its incidence or amount, and by pretending that such as it is, the prosperity of the country has been wholly due to it, and not at all, or only in a very small degree, to our na- tional resources, or to the skill or indue- try or ingenuity of the people. This round once taken, of course other absur- 5!1 s will have to follow. The sectional issue is to be revived by declaring that Mr, Carlisle’s election, although he was a Union man throughout the war, meaus another collision between the solid south and the sohd north, and that there- fore republican voters, instead of ex- pressing an opinion, at the polls upon the amount of duty which should be levied on foreign imports, must again “vote as they shot’ and ‘‘make it hot under the old flag.”” It appears, too, that the Irish voters in the manufactur- ing towns are to be called to the polls, { not to_exp their opinior out the | taxes they onght to pay in their adopted | ountry, but to express their hatred of England and their undying remembre ance | of “‘six hundred years of wrong short, the strongest sort of appeal vw be r to what is most irrational in | their ntal constitution, and to the | | passions and prejudices * which most ly diminish their value can citizens | The history of T, durin; democrat arty, | past twenty year lemn warning to republi- | ; to live by clap-trp or| republican party s | undertak- | |in far worse in any | dead issues. | likely to fail |ing than cven the democrats did, | of its great dependence on the ind ent vote, The ree with which it wins at elections is w made up almost | wholly of a class that cannot be hum or hoodwinked by appeals and Uacies which seem to be intended for [t uropean | nts rather than for Amer- ican citizens, Moreover, the revival of old cries is still less open to it than to the democrats. The sectional issue was abandoned in 1880 for the simple reason that it was worn out. It would never have boen abandoned by a certain class | bu | politicians for any other reason, It would take anothor wa » it any value now. If republican politicians should be set to work to revive it during the coming year, on the stump, they would make the party so ridiculous that it would be overwhelmed long hefora fore November, 188 Threw Away His Crutehes, “‘Suffered from rhenmatism so | , but threw them « Feloctrie Oil than I have for N Tiad to Gibbs, Note, Messrs.
