E— * Tur democrats of Ohio inaugurated she war upon civil service reform by electing Standard Oil Payne to succeed Gentleman George in the United States senate. The democrats in congress, led on by the hope of spoils in the r fu- ture, propose to follow up the ‘‘Ohio idea” by defeating, if possible, any ap- propriation for carrying on the work of the civil service comminsion. The 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat says that in the departments where the advantages of the oivil service act are just beginning to be Rl there is considerable uneasinoss as to the probable action of congress on this subjoct. This uneasiness is not without grounds, for a canvass of congress shows & goneral feeling of silent contempt or open hoatility to the commission. A number of the new democratio congress- men are clamoring for the loaves and fishes, and their blind confidenoce in their “ability to eloct the next president upon the simple issue of the offices makes them still more anxious to get ~these offices within reach. —— RELIEF FOR THE DESTITUTE. There, is more sufforing among the poor of Omaha than the people generally have any idea of, and some steps should be at once taken to relieve the immediate wants of the destitute. ~Unfortunately ‘there is but one regularly organized relief socioty in this city, and that is by no menns sufficient to cover the field. In "Dos Moines 600 persons are taken care of as a public charge. The poople of Omahs do not begrudge the money spent by the oounty commissioners in assisting the destitute, but prefer that relief should be extonded through this source. Relief .given by private parties is well enough in its way, but is irregular and spasmodic, and cannot be depended upon by those who must be provided for through the winter. The trouble, how- ever, whth our county commissioners ‘is that they are dealing out aid with too atinted a hand. ‘They have cut down the allowance of coal from half s ton per 'month to one quarter of a ton per family, the coal supplied is the very poor- the market. A quarter of a ton Jof coal will not keop a family warm for one month, and would hardly do the cooking * 'if the fire is only used one hous a day for that pnrpose and thon extinguished, GSDAY, JANUARY 30. LET THERE BE NO FURTHER DELAY. Now that the railroad attorneys see that congress evidently means business they are clamoring for a railrond com- mission, and sre resorting to their old tactios of delaying and impeding railrond legislation in every possible way. The demand for a commission to obtain in- formation is all humbyg. There is al- ly & railroad bureau, which has the hority to procure information from the Pacific railroads and all other roads chartered by congress. All that congress should do, if more stalistics are wanted, is to authorize the commissioner of the railroad bureau to gather statistics from all railroads, The facta about rail- way traflic will be found to be substan- tially the same. There are some poiuts upon which no further information is needed, as they are well estab. lished. It is an established fact that railroad tairffs are arbitrary, unjust and discriminating. It is notorious that one class of shippers enjoy privileges denied another class, The Standard Oil com- pany, for instance, can transport ita pro- ducts and secure rebates that are not al- lowed to ita rival. Extortionate rates are charged at competitive points by the establishment of pools, and one class of patrons are built up while another class are pulled down. The spirit of the inter-state commerce bill is to set- tle these questions, These abuses and griovances can be righted only by congress through general laws regulating railroad traffic on all through lines. The inter- state commerce bills, now pending befere the house committees, are intended to remedy all theso evils, They propose to give the people relief without further delay, and without the intervention of commissions or any bureau, and to afford redress for griovances through the courts. This is what the people demand and what they will have. The question at issue, and which must be settled to the satisfaction of tho public, is one of fair treatment and protection from extortion and against disorimination, Congress will not neoessarily have to make the local rates on the various roads, but it must regulate the general conduct of railroad companies in their dealings with the pub- licand with each other. As to rates, congress will not undertake to do more than establisha maximum and a mini- mum, thus preventing extortion as well a8 ruinous rate wars, Some railroad companies need protection as well as the public. Congrossman Reagan, in response to numerous telegrams from railroad attor- neys, nays that further oral arguments on the inter-state commerce bill will not be heard, but that written statements will be received. It is gratifying to the pub- lic, hawever, to learn that the commerce committee will not delay action in order to await the roceipt of any such written argumeénts. The committee iswell aware that those arguments will be but the ater- eotyped repetition of the arsuments made during the last three seasions of congress. The committee can find those arguments in print as public documenta, peots for seouring some needed railroad logislation on the part of congress now seoms quite encouraging, unless the house of lords, as the senate is now called, undertakes to thwart the popular will, as expressed through the house of representatives. E——— GOULD'S GREED. Jt there is any evidence wanting to prove that Jay Gould has been rocently seriously ‘‘squeered,” notwithstanding his emphatic denials, it can be found in the fact that he has ordered a general re- duction of expensesof the Western Union telegraph company. In accordance with his instructions, the cutting down of ex- penses has already been begun in the Weatern Union office in New York., The manager has been ordered to keep his pay-roll at the lowest possible figure, and 1t is said that this rulo is to be applied to all the offices in the ocouniry, The working force has been cut down in the New York office, and wo presume that the force all over the country will be re- duced. This course ia said to be the re- sult of an interview between Jay Gould and President Norvin Green on Friday laat, in which the former became some- what excited.” It is asserted that the new polioy is against the wishes of Presi- dent Geeen. It is not unlikely that the next move on the part of Jay Gould will be an order to reduce the wages of tele- graph operators all over the country, aud at the same time raise the tarif on the transmission of messages, Having been *‘squeezed” him- self, he now proposes to ‘‘squeeze” the employes of the Western Union and the public in order to get even. The out- look for the operators under the circum- been beaten in their recent strike they are not in condition or spirit to resist & reduction of wages, snd the great and good Gould, aware of this fact, will no doubt take advantage of the situation. 1t should not be forgotten that the West- orn Union made up ite losses, arising from the strike, by quiotly raising iheir tariff, and it atill remains at the elevated figures, S—— The pros- stances is not very encoursging. Having hemisphere, in order to assimilato com- meroe with new constwise trade. It seems to us, however, that if this treaty is to be similar to the Hawaiian treaty, it cannot be otherwise than in the interest of some ring or monopolist. 1t will not bo long before the real object of this proposition will crop out somewhere. Un- der the Hawaiian treaty, Claus Spreckles got a corner on the sugar trade of those islands, and, building steamers of his own, he also has monopolized the carry- ing trade between Hawaii and this coun- try. In all probability some shrewd Yankee has cornered some of the pro- ducts of San Domingo, and proposes to build a line of vessels of his own, so that he can land the products ef San Domingo in this country free of duty. There is & nigger sromewhere in that San Domingo woodpile. KIMBALL'S ITALIAN HAND. Of all plans for railway regulation, the commission plan seoms most feasibley With the exception of Nebraska, every state which has had trouble with the rail- roads has resorted to this measure of regulation, and in every instance the c)mmission systom has been successful ~—in some cases more so than in others, but in all cases enough to warrant its adoption as an experiment. In Towa there is to-day no anti-railroad party or pre d before the establishment of the commission the agitation and agony that were endured were far more power- ful than anything of the kind that has been the pertion of the people of Ne- braska. Through the turmoil of granger- ism and granger lawa on the one side and railway bribery of legislators and subsid- ization of newspapers on the other, our eastern neighbor came finally to the solu- tion of the problem. And since that nolution peace and prosperity, alike of the peopr:nnrl of the railroads, have en- sued. — Republican, . The hands are the hands of Ksau, but the voice is the voice of Jacob. The fine Italian hand of Thomas L. Kimball, as- mstant gemeral manager of the Union Pacitic, is visible in every line. You may masquerade in the anti-monopoly garb as much as you please, but you cannot conceal the brass collar, When the railroad organ crams into the throats of the farmers of Nebraska nirle columna of extracts from commis- sioner 4w, its design to mislead becomes more transparent than ever. Such a oonfidence game may besuccess- fally played by three card monte sharps upon rural greenhorns, but it will not deceive intelligent and well informed people, whether they are on the farm, or in the workshop, or in the storehouse. Railroad commissions have been estab- lished in many states, but in nearly every instance they have failed to accomplish the object for which they were organ- ized, unless the object, as in Towa, was to throw a sop 20 the granger. In nearly all the states the commis- sioners were appointed by the governors, and the governors have played into the hands of the monopolies by appointing capoers or political hacks, who draw sala- ries for signing their names to buncombe reports prepared by the railroad attor- neys. In California the constitutional convention placed the entire control and regulation of railways into the hands of three commissioners elected by the peo- ple. The legislature was thus barred from regulating the railroad traffic. The Central Pacific managers found it easier and cheaper to buy two out of three commissioners than to purchase majority of the legislature. The result is that California is helplessly at the mercy of the railroad robbers, reinforced by a railroad com- mission. The people of California will abolish the railroad commission and re- sume their rights to regulate railroads through the legislature as soon as they can get their constitution amended. In Georgia and Kansas, where the govern- ora have appointed honest commission- ers, the railroads have resisted every effort to restrain or control their traflic, and the courts have been invoked to pre- vent the enforcement of the orders of the commission. By the time the courts decide to sustain the commission the railroads will have a new set of commis- sioners, and the people will find them. solves again at their mercy, And now a word about Iowa., Ten years ago the granger agitation forced the legislature to enact laws regulating the railroad traffio. The passenger tariff was reduced to three cents-a mile on trunk lines, and freight rates were mate. rially roduced. A great howl was raised by the railroad organs against this out- rage. All sorts of devices were resorted to by the Iowa roads to obstruct the honest exeoution of the law to make it odious. Finally a desperate and organ. ized onslaught was made all along the live to have the law repealed. Petitions were circulated among the railroad em- ployes and strikers asking for a repeal. The merchants at all the little stations were liberally supplied with passes, Pa- pors were subsidized, and a false senti- ment misrepresenting the will of the pooplo was created to enable the bribed legislator to find an excuse for betraying his trust. A final assault was made, and the granger law regulating freights was repealed by a vory small majority, In place of the law a commisson was created to regulate the lowa roads, but the lowa reilroads have never failed to regulate the commission. It is true, as Mr. Kim- ball intimates through his organist, that not be repressed. The leading Iowa dailios belongljto the railroads, The road.

Onlya fow weeks ago the Davenport board of trade passed resolutions denouncing the abuses to which the people of Towa have been snb- jected by the railway momopolies and they have published an appeal to the poople, in a pamphlet, which has been circulated through the length breadth of Towa. During the first week of the presont seasion of tho Towa legislature more than twenty railroad bills were introduced in response to the public demand tor redress and relief. Does Mr. Kimball pretend that these bills would have been intro- duced if the people of Iowa were satisfied with their railroad commission. The whole commissioner system of Towa was begotten by the railroads in their own interest, and it served their purpose ad- mirably. Its days are numbered, how- over, and A State Disgrace, David City Republi Two prominent citizens and business men of this city recently visited the state reform school at Kearney, and being of an investigating turn of mind, they went through the various departments and in- quirm} into the condition and treatment of the inmates, as well as into the meth- ods and principles on which the inatitu- tion is conducted. Their report as furnished to the Repub- lican is sufficient to stir up the indigna- tion and pity of any citizen whose nature is susceptible in any degree to human feeling, The unfortunate children are in many cages without suiticient clothing to pro- tect their young and tender bodies from the life-sapping blasts of winter, and some of them were on tke frozen play- ground barefooted in midwinter. On being asked if they went without foot- gear from choice, they answered that they did not, but that they had no boots or shoes. Further inquiry disclosed the fact that the appropriation made by the last legis- lature for this benevelent branch of our state institutions, was exhausted within five montha after the appropriation was made. The most remarkable thing in this connection is that there is nothing of mentionable import to show where the money was exponded. The beds are furnished with scant and miserable clothing, covered of eourse with spreads that deceive the superficial ob- server. The rooms are without proper ventilation, without firefcold and more barren than the ordinary barn of a com- mon farmer. The ““‘washroom” that has until recent- ly been used, is & small, cramped econ- cern, about 10x12, used s a privy and wash-room combined; no stove, fromen t wels and sickening susroundings. The institution has been run practical- ly without records. The entire absence of any real information regarding tho management or expenditures was con- spicuous, Until Iately there has been no safe in which to keep the records or ether valua- ables, had they eqisted, and the safe that is there now is the old safe formerlyused by Glen Kendall, superintendent of pub- lic lauds and buildings. Our committee was informed that Kendall had shipped the new safe, which had been purchased by the state for the reform school, to his brother at St. Paul, Nebraska, and this old rattle-trap was chucked onto the state—at our own 1solated Tewksbury— to complete the set of shabby furniture. The only records which were turned over to the present superintendent, the committee was informed, consisted of a memorandum advertising book, sent out by some wine company, with the com- pany’s advertisement on one side of the leaves and a blank ou theother. In this dirty little pamphlet, the names and re- spective religions, accompanied by date of entry of the inmates are enrolled. The addition, which is a separate building of itself, and for which $60,000 was appropriated, judging from the oundation and area, will, when com- pleted, actually cost not more than $30, 000. This fine plum of 830,000 was raked in by Van Alstyne, the party who built our present school building at two priom,lmd whose work has caused such general cussing am.ng taxpayeérs in this neighl‘mfl:cmd.g 3 o Our advice to old Ben Butler is, come west.

Dear Six:—DBelieving that you, like every true journalist, are ever in search of the latest and freshest facts concern- ing all questions of public interest, I take the liberty to ask you to publish the enclosed statement of Mr. Troutman, a prominent attorney of Topeka. Mr. T. has always enjoyed the reputation of being candid and careful in his views and acourate in his statements. Among the more radical temperanee element, Mr. T. has been considered a little conservative and slow to move with them. Hoping you will find place to publish these statements in full, I remain very respectfuily yours. Fxaxg J. SipLry. Prohibition in Kansas, THE RESULT OF THIRTY MONTHS OF ITS OPERATION, BY JAMES A, TROUTMAN, TOPEKA, SECRK- TARY KANSAS STATR TEMPERANCE UNION. On the 4th of December, I mailed a series of questions to every county attor- ney, ccunty superintendent, and polico judge, in the state, for the purpose of learning the effect and present statvs ol prohibition. Replies have been received from over one-third of the six hundred letters sent out, conatituting a full report from sixty-six of the eighty-one organ- 1zed counties of the state, including all the populous counties. These replies do- monstrate three facts favorable to prohi- bition: First—That it has materially decreased the number of saloons Second—That an unusually large per cent of the prosccutions unden the laws, have resulted in convictions. Third—That the principle of prohibi- bition is growing stronger. Tt must be borne in mind that these figures come from the officers of the state, without reference to their views upon prohibition, and are therefore not subject to the imputation of being the preduct of fanaticism. Inour letters we stuted that we wanted the facts, whether favorabla or unfavorablo to prohibition. We be- lieve the facts were given, and that the tigures presented are as authentic as can possibly be obtained. In these sixty-six counties there were 708 saloons prior to May lst, 1881, the date that the prohibitory law took effect. There are now, in the same territory, 313 saloons,—160, or over half of which are in Leavenworth; leaving but 163 saloons in the sixty-six counties, not in- oluding Leavenworth. Prohibition, in less than two years, has closed 395anloons. During this time the population has in- creased 12 per cent. It our saloons had kept pace with the population, we would now have 292 saloons; so that in reality prohibition has prohibited 479 saloons in the territory named. Prior to May lst, 1881, there were saloons in every one of these sixty six counties, To-dsy the 313 saloons in ex- istence are confined to twenty-five coun- ties, over half the number being in a sin- gle county. Prohibition has therefore absolutely driven the saloons out of forty- one counties, in which they existed under license. *“You can't convict the saloon-keepers’ has been 8o often repeated that many re- gard it as an axiomatic truth. In the early stages of prosecutions, it was diffi- | = eult to convict, But the reports of the oflicers who have charge of this clase of cases, show that as a general proposition, it is far from the truth. In the district courts of these counties, there have been 460 cases tried, resultivg in 351 eonvic- tions, 47 acquittals and 62 hung juries, or seven convictions out of every nine caged tried, In justice courts there have been 0672 casea tried, with 378 convictions, 75 ac- quittals and 50 hung juries, or eonvic- d. | tions 1n three fourths of all cases tricd Tn these cases the fines imposed amount to $95,200. In addition to these fines, thero havo beon 81 saloon keepers im: priscned, for various periods of time, ag- grogating 137 months and 19 days, or 11 years, b months and 19 days. Thero has been a larger proportion of convictions in whisky eases than in any other class of cases tried, as reference to the criminal docket of any court in the state will prove, There are now pending in the distric. courts of the stato 218 cases, showing a vigorous determination to complete the work so well begun, In fifty-one of these counties, the re- rts all agreo that the principle of pro- ibition is growing stronger with the peo- ple. In seven it is reported weaker, while it remains the same in eight. This, of oourse, is & mere matter of judgment. If prohibition can accomplish these re- sulta in 30 months, who can say the ex- periment has failed? Or, how long it wlll be until the unyielding sentiment of 1 loyalty will crush out the 313 straggling saloons etill running? Boycotting French Goods.
