Waar will Father Martin do now THE ANTI-MONODPO LIS PARTY, In the winter of 1883 a call was issued for a national anti-monopoly conference for the purpose of devising concerted measures that would check the aggression of corporate monopolies upon the Ameri- can people. The conference was to meet at Chicago on the Fourth of July to pro- mulgate a second declaration of inds pendence and arouse a spirit of resistance to the despotic rule and greed of organi- The head and front of zed monopoly. this movement was a political adventurer by the name cf Post, who accupied a room in the attic of a third rate Chicago hotel, from which he had been bombard- ing thenational banks, pulverizing the rum power, and preaching spiritualism, woman suffeage and other ‘‘isms” through a readerless woekly. At the time this national conference of anti-monopolists was called, there had been no distinct anti-monopoly party or- ganized in any state or territory, excopt- ing alone in Nobraska. And up to this day Nebraska is the only state in the union that has an organized anti- moncpoly party which has fought cam- paigns as such, California had its anti- with the hero of his everlasting story, since Hon. John D, Howe has been pro- moted to be general solicitor of a great railroad? Tue next Douglas grand jury will have a great deal of work to do, and it is hoped that the judges will notallow professional jurymen to come in as substitutes for the regular panel, The Union Pacific claims that the B, & M. has dealt ita foul blow as it has strack it below the Belt. If the Union Pacific would keep out of prize-fights it wouldn't have to yell “foul.” Juvae NEviLLE, upon the petition of the B. & M., has granted another in- junction against the Union Pacific,includ- ing the Belt line. This no dcubt was ne- cessitated by the rotirn of General Man- ager Hanlon. Taner of tho fourdelegates-at-large to the national greenback convention which Towa sends, are J. B, Weaver, ‘‘Hoifer: calf” Gillette, and ‘‘Calamity” Weller. It is almost needless to say that these great men are a unit for Ben Butler. SeNATOR CAMERON, of Pennsylvania, who has been in Europe for more than a year was expected homo yesterday, and a good many Pennsylvanians who have been trying to run the machine, in his absenco, are gotting ready to take to the woods. —_— GREAT care ought to be exercised on Yarnam street in digging the trenches for gas, water and sewer connections. T'he earth ought to be properly tamped, otherwise the new pavement will be sure to settle, and much of it will have to be relaid within twelve months, Tar Herald ventures to nominate the Henorable Pat Ford as a candidate for delegate to the democratic state conven- tion, InasmuchasDr.Millerhasdeclined to be a delegate to the national convention, Tae Bek ventures to nominate the Hon- orable Pat Ford for that position. JAY Gouwp has appeared on the scene to give his explanation of the New York panic. He says it was caused by the bears, There is, on the other hand, however, a wide spread belief that if Mr. Gould had kept his watering pot at home there never would have been any trouble, Tur Now York Herald has been ob- taining the views of various state gov- ernors, on the burning questions of the day. Gov, Sherman’s viewsas to where the new Iowa insane asylum should be located, have not yet been given. If the Herald has & pump strong enough to bring out I ve should like to seo it, A rEw days ago Postnuaster Boardsloy, of Rock Island, sent out a story that an attempt had been made to rob his oftice, which he had prevented at great personal risk. Recent developments, however, tend to show that no such event as he de- seribed over occurred. Has Mr, Beard ley been imitating Whittaker's exploits on his cars, or has he had a case of 1lli- nois jim jams ? WueNever a lawyer graduates from wediocrity into the rank of recognized ability, he is sure to get a good berth with some railroad, The Ber congratulates Mr. John D. Howe upon his appointment a8 general solicitor of the Chicago, Minne- apolis, St. Paul & Omaba railway sys- tem. Mr. Howe enjoys an excellent reputation and the people of Omaha and Nebraska will regrot his departure, | Tr had been hoped by his friends that some anangement could be made by which Henry Ward Beecher could be a delegate to the national republican con- vention, but it now appears that there can be none. There will be no proxies, and substitutes for delegates can only be made by the convention itself, There will still be a good chance left for Henry to pray for the convention, however, if he wants to be of service. Ricur after the defeat of the Morrison bill it was announced that Morrison's friends would issue a flaming address on the tariff question which would fire the detaocrats all over the country. Nearly two weeks have passed but the address has not appeared. Itis now explained that the scheme is dead. None but the immediate followers of Morrison could monopoly constitutional party, but it dissolved as soon as the main object which had called it into lifo had been ac- complished by the adoption of the new constitution. New York has its anti. monopoly league, with F. B. Thurber as its acknowledged leader, but it has simply sought to defeat monopoly candi- dates, on whatover party ticket they wero nominated, by massing votes against them. Anti-monopoly leagues and farmers’ alliances exist in New Jorsey, Kansas, Towa, Minnesota and other states, but they never have attempted to act as an indepondent party, even in local cam- paigns When the conference met at Chicago in July, it was, as might have been ex pocted, a motley crowd, like Macbeth’s witches, of black spirits und white, gray spirits and blue. There were a large number of groenbackers, intent only upon the demolition of national banks. There were rampaut froe-traders and rank pro- toctionists. Thore werewoman-suffcagists. prohibitionists, personal liberty men, Bob Ingersoll atheists and men who wanted God in the constitution, Last, but not least, thero was Dennis Kearnoy, with his running mate, who had como all the way from California to drive the Chinese out and advocate the right of the railronds to charge what thoy please as long as they pay good wagos to their workingmen. Then there were cranks of both sexes who were more fit for a lunatic asylum than for a political con- vention. No wonder that the conference was a perfect babel, where everybody wanted to talk and nobody could make himself understood. After an angry do- bate, Kearney and his pals were kicked out by common consent as hireling dis- turbers, This was about the only sensible thing that the conference did. The res- olutions which were adopted and pub- lished as the sense of the conference were in fact mere stereotyped platitudes, with- out an original er tangible idea upon any vital issue, I'ho only substantial point goained was a scheme to merge the defunct greenbackers and anti-monopolists into a new party that was to bo called into life during the presidential year. About sixty days ago another call was issued for a national anti-monopoly con- vention to puta presidential ticket in the field. It was an opon secrot, when this call was issued, that it was nothing moro norless thana schomo to put up Ben Butler as the combinuation candidate of anti-monopoly, greenbackism, labor ro- form, woman suffeage, protoction, reve- nuo reform, prohibition, free whiskey, and democracy, The anti-monopoly con- vention, so-callod, was purposely set ahead of all other national conventions 80 as to torce the nomination of Butler upon the democracy as the only candidate upon whom all elements in opposition to thorepublicans could combine, Meantime the audacious demagogus had himself elected as a delegate at large from Mas- sachusetts to the national democratic con- vention, The so-called national anti-mno- nopoly convention was a great deal more of a fraud than a farco. The delegates did not represent one-half the states in the union, Most of them had no other credentials than their own statements or appointments made by themselves. No primary elections were called, or con- ventions held anywhero to elect these delegates. In many instances their only claim to being anti-monopolists was that thoy were opposed to the cxisting order of things, Even in Nebraska, wheroe the party has an organization and a large and respectable following, the delegates were appointed by some half-dozen members of the state committee. To the credit of Nebraska delegates, be it said, they did not clamor for Butler, The cut and dried programmo which Ben Butler's henchmen have forced upon the convention, aroussd a great deal of indignation, but the convention had been packed and the gagged delegates had no other recourse than & bolt. The fact that the convention did mnot nominate & candidate for vice-preeident shows on its face that this was merely a put-up job in the intercst of Ben Butler, That wily schemer expocts to trade the vico-pres dency for all it is worth in the national democratic convention, The anti-monop- olists are to be ured simply as a cat's-paw to pull his chestnuts out of the fire. This is certainly a humiliating position for true anti-monopolists to oceupy, but nothing botter could have been expeoted from a be induced to sign it. It was expected that it would read Randall and his ring «ntirely out of the party.

Omaha is just now being denounced far and wide for the brutal prize fight that was originated in this city. Nearly every paper in this state is pointing to Omaha as the headquarters of rowdyism and depravity, and most of them charge the responsibility for the prize-fight and subsequent shooting affray directly upon the city and county authorities. Some of the papers, however, atrike the nail on the head by making the managers of the Union Pacific railroad equally culpable with the officers of the law. The Fi Tribune indulges in the following pointed comment on this disgraceful aflair The prizo fight which occurred near Valley the other day between Fell and Hanley was certainly the most disgrace- ful affair that ever occured in Nebraska, Not only did the two contestants fight until they were bloody, biuised and beastly, but after the affair broke up the crowd of roughs present to witneas the “mill” indulged in a free for all fight. Whiskey flowed treely and revolvers were flourished conspicously, On the train going back to Omaha three men were shot and several fights indulged in making a spectacle which disgraces the fair name of Nebraska and is a travesty upon civilization and decency., This affair was advertised to take place at Omaha but for once the authori- ties of that city were vigilant enough to prevent its occurcence there. This, how- ever, did not put a stop to it. The man- agors chartered a Union Pacific train and ran out in the country by night. The ratlroad company, therefore, should be held responsible for this disgr They must have known just what their excur- sion train was wanted for at that untime- ly hour and they made it possible for the bloody work to go on— they were parti- ceps erominis How long are we to be reproached for these disgraces! How long are decent people to suffer such ignom‘ny. Our Fremont cotemporary is eminetly correct. There could have been no prize- figh' in Saunders county without the connivance of the railroad managers. The people of that county are now going 10 bo put to the oxpense of criminal trials which will burden them with needless taxes. It was well enongh understood among the pugilistic element that the prize-fight should not take place in this county if the railroads would ac- comodate them. Now that Messrs. Ames and Adams have come all the way from Boston to inaugurate railway servico reform it will be eminently proper for them to ascer- tain who among their local officials allowed his sympathy with prize-ring bullies to go 80 far s to equip a special train to carry the bruisers, Whoever that man may be he certainly has placed the road in a very anenviable light, and has shown himself unfit for the responsible position which he holds Tiar Omaha is sound financially to the core has again beon shown during tho past wook by tho stability of our banks and business houses in the face of a finan- cial crash that proved more or less disas- trous in many other cities. Kunsas City and St. Joo, for instance, have boasted of tho nolidity of their capitalists, but now, asin 1873, they were unablo to stand the sovero strain, St. Joo had one bank failure, and Kansas City banks were on tho vorge of going under, only escaping suspension by offering to pay depositors twenty cents on the doliar and giving certified checks for the balance.

O'Conor Sloane and Dr. Charles L. Dana. Harrer's Macazine for June, begin ning the sixty-ninth volume, promises a foretaste of summer in two papers—the one of Europeanand the other of American travel. Mrs. Lillie will write of the famous French watering place, Biarritz, with illustrations from Mr. Reinhart's clever pencil, and Mr. John A, Butler, of “The North S8nore” of Lake Superior, which Mr, Chas, Graham illustrates from sketches made last summer. Two papers of much commercial and industrial in- terest will be a careful and comprehen- sive article on the organization and work of the New York custom house, by R. Wheatley, and one on Sheflield and its trades, by W. H. Rideing, bothillustrated, Col.

P. Roe's novels, with pictures by Abbey, Dielman and Gibson. The short stories will be **The Dagger,” a tale of vld Rome, by ohn MceMullen, with illustrations by Fredericks, and ‘A Humble Romonce,” by Mary E, Wilkins, Among tho mis- cellancous papers will be an account of Virginia's one witch, Grace Sherwood, and a reminiscence of Abraham Lincoln at Cincinnati, by W, M. Dickson. T long-promised new cover appears on the June number of The Manhattan, which may now congratulate itself on having as beautiful a cover as magazine over had. The design, simple and artis- tic, is printed in a rich carnation on an old-gold paper. The contents of the number are worthy of tho cover. The frontispieco is an airy fizure-pioce, en- titled *‘Spring,” drawn by Mcllhenney and engraved by Juengling, illustrating some lines of Willis Gaylord Clark. An American painter, Henry Roderick New- man, who has long lived in Florence, is the subject of the opening article, written by H. Buxton Forman, the editor of Keats and Shelley. Letfers from Mr. tuskin expross his high opinion of New- man's work, and the article is illustrate with a portrait and a number of illustra- tions. Another protusely and brilliantly illustrated article is a second paper on “The Gunnison Country,” Ernest Ingersoll, who has here surpassed all his previous efforts in graphic description. There are four portraits, illustrating the first part of “Retrospections of the American Stage,” by John Benard, a |t thentrical manager at DBoston, in the carly part of this century. Of *“Trajan,” the new novel, there is & second striking wstalment. Bdgar Fawcett's “Tinkling Cymbals,” is _concluded, and thero aro two short storics, one *‘A Boston Man,” by Nora Perry.
