Nebraska Cornice —~AND—~ THE ARNOLD OF POLITICS. The Record of the Republican Party a Snccession of Pablic Betrayals, The Producing Masses Robbed of Their Rights by the High- waymen of the Party. The Wants of the Monopolists Oare- | fully Attended to at the Expenso ot the People, Beeievur, Nob., February 12, 1884, To the Editor of The Bee The republican party of Nebraska is radically diseased. No words of censure can fitly portray its downward tendency for thoe past six years. Tho error of its doings is known from all points of the compass, These may be harsh words to use, espocially by a republican. But, sir, wo should state the oppoite opinion with double-fold alacrity if the man. agement of the party had given us grounds for so doing. Tn support of this view there is a great many questions to be taken into consideration. It is ad- mitted in all circles that an unofficial man may give vent te tho feelings of his heart, and this is my present purpose. It will reveal a record of crime, of blun- der and of shame. The voice of every anti-monopoly republican says: ‘‘Yes, we are prepared to show and make known our disgust end indignation towards the republican party as long as it deludes the poople and allows injustice to take steps forward and constantly im- pose upon our inherent rights.” To day corporate power waits in the distance as the natural encmy of a poo- plo whose reprosentatives have forsaken the guiding law of justice. Is it any wonder we are driven to resentment on account of the asperity with which we have been treated by our chosen law- makers, executive oflicers and the rail- way corporations? Nevertheless [a vigi- lant eyo has been keoping watch, and the sooner there is a reconstruction effected, the better the condition and prospect of tho party. The people of Nebraska have learned gome rude lessons since the meeting of the last legislature. They are lessons that have done us no harm, They can repair their former errors only bg retributive justice and thus profit by the dear bought experience of the past. The wish to apply tho necessary remedy has been the constant aim of the anti- monopoly parl.f, but they lacked the power. Directly we set ourselves about to enquire WHO WAS TO BLAME for this failure. It was republican Enny, whose system was at fault, foul and rot- ten. The people set before them their grievances and trusted to their wisdom to secure their removal. But they remained unshaken in their purchased” allegianco towards the railroads as against the THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1884, Turner reteacted their steps. Five yoars ago they were branded as demagogues, nothing too mean could be brought agsinst them, yet we have no harsh words to administer,” These men may be able to bring about reforms and help to purify the party. That is all we can solicit We ask nothing more. The people of Nebraska demand railroad legislation They do not expect or care to experience such treatment as they were favored with the last session. It was said and koown at the time, when Humphrey was elected sponker, that no railroad legislation could bo had; that was a triumph for railroads, and a stench in the nostrils of the peo- ple. To sustain this were not the tables of the senate and house ladened with pe- titions for immediate action relative to the railroad question, forwarded not by Mr, Gere, Mr. Nye, Mr. Kimball or Mr, Holdrege, but by gour most conservative farmera and cif 18, Did that patched up railway * commit toe suffer those bills introduced looking forward to some measuro of relief to take their regular course in the progress of logislation!

A grosser violation of {all the requirements ef honor, of all the safe- guard and guarantees demanded by the poople has been seldom perpetrated any- Is it to be expeoted that the in- dependent republicans of Nebraska are going to associate with the Jack Cades and Walt Tylers of the republican party, a8 long as the present state of affairs con- tinue? Is it not much more honorable to ride on the tail of the democratic kite than submit to such outrages, and rush into the lion's mouth, after being duly warned and cautioned? Now_all this may be only the course mutterings of a greenhorn or an idiot, but we are entitled to the right of saying something about the misdoings of the re- publican party while all its place-beg- ging scavengers are active in gathering the spoils. Allow us to present a con- trast in tho way of illustration. Every one knows how Trussaint Louverture was carried a captive to France, to die in a dungeon. d only knows, in what manner. Every one knows that his crime was that ot bravely resisting Napoleon’s marshal, who came to reduce again to slavery a country Louverture had made free, Here we have in this hero, a born slave, a black man, who once held in his hands the liberty of his pooploand tho destiny of the American archipelago. He supplied Hayti with a constitutionand during his time established many reforms in which civil and political equality was pro. claimed, nng he encouraged agriculture and inter-state commerce by the aboli- tion of all grasping monopolies. Now lot us glance over he history of the republi- can party of Nebraska, and imagine ‘WHAT A DIFFERENT LINE OF POLICY people. What are we to make of men who go into the arena of party conflict, and when elected abandon those meas- ures they were chosen to represent and maintain] What is the substance of the whole? The party after a continual reign of power has lallen into the deep ditch of political corruption, a fact conceded hv nearly half of our populatlon, Thero is political corruption in the republican party of Nebrasks, among its leading artisans, in its political mneasures, in its P political services, in the dispensation of offices, in the control of the press, and in the known partiality it has favored and served the railronds, This corruption Oramentl Wk ~ °' " EMANUPACTURERS ORIl .. & | hpy graced _ the republican GALVANIZED [RON CORNICES |g5y " A at"smath sand of 1ts adherents considered it Dormoer Windowrm, |therimperative duty to abandon its support. They revolted against the pac- ty, whose chosen representatives resort- ed to the prostitution of tteir trusts to secure private or individual aims, What is this, then, but perjury— perjury of the darkest dye, Then we are told there is no law that will prosecute such actions, forin Nobraska it is said, all public orimes have & tendency to draw upon themse!ves a conventional disguise, while acts of the same nature, only on a little lower scale usually consign the poorer wretches within the walls of our peniten- iary, still both the principle and practices are much beyond any defense Mr, Nye or Gere can make, They surpass all power cf janguage to describe their «i0ti8 and tearful natures. No reasoning roperly gauge the filth of such cor- nlptfon, no statement can adequately set forth its vileness, and the injury of its works, no language is to strong enough in which to express LOATHING FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY by every man who has the wel. fare of his state at the future growth and prosperity of her institutions, Now let every re ubl;un oor FINIALS, WINDOW CAPS, TIN, IRON AND SLATE ROOFING, PATENT METALIC SKYLIGHT, lron Fencing! ) Balustrades, Verandas, Officeand Bavk , Window and Cellar Guards, Ete.

In respect to certain waywardness of republican officials, there could bea great deal said, for 1instance the expose of the saline and school land frauds, that showed up the rottenness of the old re- gime and resulted in thefimpeachment of David Butler thrice elected governor by the republican party. Men who came to this state in rags suddenly became rich under questionable circumstances. Our seat of learning, the university, was erect- ed ron a sandstone foundation, a credit alike to fraud and plunder; Then there was that buildiug of magnificent propor- tions, with its immense dome, There is also an ugly rumor concerning our re- formechool at Kearney,and thereare sto- riesgoing aroundamong the knowingones, thatthere are certain postmasters who find it convenient to <iside up their compen- aation with ocertain newspaper editors, Thero are other matters we recall to mind but space will forbid making mention of At this tis Now, sir, is it not an unquestiened right of the people of Nebraska to de- mand the same advantages and immuni- Lies as those enjoyed by our sister statu of Towa, and other commonwealths throughout the union?

Is it not time for a change! The people have submitted to stringent and unrea- sonable extortions long enough. It is full time not to be deceived again. The people have witnessed the debasing of the many, and the building up of the fa. vored foew. They have noticed gigantic efforts made in our halls of justice where- by the railroads or Nebraska planned a test case, and prosecuted their suit to a ill | successful termination through arbitrary and suspicious rulings, to evade the pay- ment of taxes on their free land grants, and thus restrain a great source of iater- nal revenus Btill a poor man is com- pollsd,bhhmm', nactments,to pay his taxes, while the highest court in the land exempts railroad corporations from the same condition, No wonder our courts of justice are now styled courts of injus- tice, Yet there is a time coming when the people will not bear up under such outrage. It is uncontestable that ours is a battle for relief against the scourge of extortion, It is a contest to determine whether the people are supreme, or on the contrary the railroad corporations, It is & question whether the vital elements . | of this great state shall remain intact, or else be broken in twain by the domi- nation of monopoly power, Scattered over hill tops, valley and dale, there is & mighty hostof industrious men plying their oocupationin agriculture, steadily growing aware of the daily im. » | position and deception as practiced upon them by the leaders of the republican party of Nebraska, and the tume will soon have passed when our progressive German citizens will quietly submit to be LED AKOUND BY THE Nosw % todo the bidding of the republican byp- rits and monopoly sharks, the loading oprits pol B off satelites of a party that with all the isms aud sumptuary lawsthat have sought to place a barrier overa man’s natural rights of independence. The same party that has suflocated the will of the people in Nebraska once re- leased from the thraldom of slavery 4,000,000 of human beings, still the worm when trodden upon will turn upon his op- pressor. And it is justso with the peo- ple of Nebraska—they will make known their attributes of self-defense during the cothing election this fall at the ballotbox, We ask for calm and judicious legisla- tion, and that the presemt rates of freight may be reduced at least twonty P nt., also that there be no unjust discrimination between a long and short hauls, It is true the coming legislators have a great duty to perform, ono that is both urgent and essential. Under all circumstances every man should dischargo his trust with both firmness and impar- tiality, to adjust rather than evade all estions of moment and importance To maintain this ground is the best, if not the only means of restoring harmony in the ranks of the republican party and also rcassure an era of good feeling throughout the state, Why not be actu- ated by an honest desire to promote a long deferred justice,a useful reform, en- deavor to find redress for public good, to protect the rights and advanco the welfare of the wholo people, and main- tain inviolate the integrity and honor of state. “AGRARIAN Gannr Horstord’s Acid Phosphate.

It was purchased from the gov- ernment last fall for §425 by New York parties, who recently began cutting it to pieces to convert it into souvenirs. The interior woodwork was found remarkably sound.

It is very sel- dom, ot course, that one ef them actually becomes a private soldier, Many come into the recruiting office, talk matters y and then decide that $13 a month and beard s not enough to tempt them out among the Indians and buffalos.” “What are some of the stories with you have heard?” ““The 1008t amusing one was told by a little, thin, melancholy man who weighed about a hundred pounds. He was dressed in seedy black when he said he wanted to enlist. He said hewas a schoolteacher from gome little town near Chicago, but that he thought it was his duty as an American to go and fight for his country, As tis country was in no particular danger, I asked him why he considered it a matter of duty to join the army. He ovaded the question’ by in- quiring anxiously if he could take his wife along. 1 replied that it would be impossible to do so. His face lightened instantly, and he said, in great de- ““Then I'll be a soldier at all hazards.” “But he proved au inch too short for army service, He grew desperate when he found it out, and declared ho would run away and never go home again. He said he was afraid of his wife and could not face her with safety. She wasso jealous of him, according to his story, that she attended _his school every day in order to watch his conduct towards the girls who were his pupils. ¢ ‘It wae awful,” said the poor fellow, rubbing tears out’ of his eyes with his coat-sleeve, *‘to see her sitting there on a bench glaring at me, when she ought to have been-at home doing the housework. How was [ to get along without talking to the girls sometimes? And because I did talk to them didn’t I catch it after I got home! 1t got to be more than T could stand. Yesterday she began abusing me before the whole school. I determined to assert my authority. I called up two of the biggest boys to help me, and then we three put her out and locked the door on her. I couldn’t go home after doing that, of course, so I came to Chicago. IfyI can’t be a soldier I'll turn pirate.’ “He went off sobbing like one of his own schoolboys, and I never saw him again, Another time a handsome young fellow, with a fine, manly form, came into the office and wanted to enlist. He declined to tell anything about his histo- ry, but he appeared all right except that he was rather sullen, and so he was ac- cepted and sworn in.
