THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WED The Result in New York. To the great surprise of everybody, inoluding the best judges, and the lead- ers of the successful party, New York hos gone democratic. Colonel I'red Grant, the republican candidate for scerctary of state, headed the ticket | for his party, andiFrederick Cook, the big prewer of Rochester, was the demo- Cook’s plurality is now estimated at 10,000 votes and it is possible that it will be a thousand or more less than that figure. This compared with the vote of 1885 by which Hill wase clected goveraor r Davenport with a plurality of 11,134 shows a decrease in pluralities for the democrats though this is to be ac- connted for by the light vote, The fight was a vigorous one on hoth sides. Colonel Grant who received the nomination only because he was the son of Ulysses S. Grant made a pe canvass of the state, assisted by Sena- varts of New York and Frye of A und Senator-clect Hiscock of New York. The Grand Army stood gallantly by him and the strongest appeals were tiade to the floating vote for support. On the other side President Cleveland and Governor 1Iill took a hand. In fact the administration staked its all on the result. Kvery element of power pos sessed Ly the chiefs at Washington and Albany was used to help along the ticket. The intention was to appro- priate direct to Cleveland all benefits of a successful fight, and the friends of the president used every means tobring about this result, Aside from this result of the election there are several points worthy of attention in regard-- to the vote cast yesterday. Tho prohibition vote in the state shows an in- crease of 25 por cent in the vote cast for Bascom, the prohibition candidate for governor in 1885, an incre not at all likely to discourage the third party in its ill-advised carcer. The labor vote was far below what was expected by all. The friends of Henry Georgo fixed his vote for secretary of state at 4000, 90,000 of which wore to be counted in New York eity. His oppo- nents allowed him from 50,000 to 70,000 in their estimates of the city vote, and upon this estimate it was figured that Grant would be elected. But the count shows 85,420 for George, a loss of 34,000 from the vote cast for him for mayor in 1885. Had George received these votes, all of which would have been demo- cratic, Grant’s plurality would have been at least 200,000, The united labor party cannot d this loss, and it is likely to go to picces long before an- other November comes. Although success would have been cable to the republicansin the state of New York yesterday, still there is little to discourage them. It was clearly A mistake to make such a nomination as that of Colonel Fred Grant. A man of great personal strength and one able to lead the fight could have been elected even with the conditions existing. The official count will show many reasons for ence in the claim that there are splendid chances of republican success in the national election of 1888, ne Ay Opposition to Lamar, Tt is believed in Washington that should the president nominate Mr. La- mar for the vacancy on the supreme bench, as he is expected to do, he will not be confirmed. The theory is that the vepublican majority of the senate will refuse to confirm on the ground that Tamar has once violated hisoath to sup- port the constitution and therefore can not be trusted to interpret that instru- ment for the guidance and direction of the lower courts; besides which he op- posed the amendments adopted since the war, which he has charactérized as un- warranted and unjust, and it is thought republican senators will hold it to be unsafe to imperil these amendmonts by subjecting them to the judicial interpretation of one who is on record among their most pronounced opponents. There is no objection on the score of ability or residence, but solely with respect to his course and recorded opinions. A southern man who was not foresworn and had not openly pro- claimed his hostility to the amend- ments, being otherwise qualified, would not be rejected because a southerner, It is said to be the rule of republican [ ors that no man who has violated his oath and taken up arms against the Tnited States shall sit as a member of the highest judiciary, and it is assumed that this rule would be adheroed to in the case of Mr, Lamar, notwithstanding that he has been a member of the sen- ate and would therefore under most cir- cumstances be entitled to exceptional courtesy. It appears to be very generally under- stood that Mr. Cleveland intends to nominate Lamar to the vacant justice- ship, and it is to be apprehended that he will not be deterred from doing this, it he has decided upon it, by any nssur- ances of republican opposition in the senate. If Mr. Lamar is willing to be made the subject of another conflict be- tween the executive and the senate, there is very little doubt that Mr, Cleveland would not hesitate to bring on the fight. He has never shown any unwillingness to join issue with the senate in the past, when offices of much less consoquence and individuals in which he was much less interested were involved, He will be even less likely to do so now and in this case, when a fight with the republican senate would undoubtedly be approved by the entire democracy and the south especially would warmly sus- tain him in behalf of the man who holds a place second to none other in southern esteem, But the president has not said he in- tends to appoint Lamar, and in view of ssible difficulty he may judicionsly de to nominate some other southern man who would be unobjectionable. It is to be hoped he will do this, for in any ovent the appointment of Mr. Lamar would not reecive that general approval or be accepted with that universal con- fideuce which ought to attend uppoint- ments to the supreme beneh, There would b a very' serious doubt in the minds of & large propertion of the people. a8t . the ability of Mr.. Lamar to :render imrpartial judgment upon questions involving the I latest amendments to the constitution, ! or, indeed, whether he could be de- pended upon to adhere to any construc tions of the constitution that have been made since the war, and particularly those which relate to federal and state rights, For s time it might not be of great moment what opinions Mr. Lamar entertained adverse to the past attitude and rulings of the supreme court, but there are other vacancies to occur in the near future, and should there be a democratic administration to fill them, with the influence of Mr. Lamar to nssist it in making selections, it is easy to sco what the result might be. The neces- is urgent, and never more 8o than . forkeeping the supreme bench free and independent of extreme political bins and strong sectional sympathy. That great tribunal is yet to undergo te s severe as any it has ever been subjected to, and to command popular confidence it must be constituted of men whose wisdom, Integrity and patriotism are absolutely unimpeachable, Tt 1= not be claimed for Mr. Lamar that he in all respects meets this standard. —_— It is proposed to erect at Indianapolis a grand soldiers’ and sailors’ monument worth $220,000. Five architects of high reputation have been asked to prepuare designs, for which $200 each will be paid, and all plans submitted will be ex- amined. The money to erect the mon- ument will of course be raised by sub- seription, largely, it is expected, ffom those in whose honor the memorial will be reared, It is an ambitious project, but in the highest degree commendable. If successful it will be an object that for all time will attract sight-scers to In- dianapolis, It will be a grand evidence of the vatriotism of this period which will have its wholesome influence upon the generations to follow. Monuments that commemorate the courage and sac- rifices of the soldiers and sailors of the union cannot bo too numerous. Every chief clty, at least, should possess one, however simple in and modest in proportions. Without the data for exact comparison, wo have no doubt that Nebraska leads Indiana as a soldier state. Yet Nebraska has no memorial to the union soldiers and sailors. This is not to our credit, and the fact ghould mnot be permitted to stand against us longer than is neces- sary to sccure such a memorial. A soldiers’ and smlors’ monument should bo erected in Omaha, which has desira- ble and commanding sites for such a structure, and which for obvious and conelusive reasons is the proper place for such a memorial. Hall the sum proposed to be expended at Indianapolis would rear here a beautiful and endur- 1ng monument that would be creditable to the state and a perennial attraction. An earnest and well directed effort to accomplish this could not fail of suc- cess. TRANSCONTINENTAL travel is to be materially expedited before the close of the current year. The San JFrancisco s announce that the Central Pa- cific, and possibly the Southern Pacific as well, will soon put into eoffect ar- rangements by which a reduction of fully two days in the time of the trip across the continent will bo effected. The purpose is to transport passengers from New York to San Francisco in five [it instead of seven, a most important gain of time which it is not doubted can e successfully nccomplished. Other transcontinental roads will of course have to reduce their time, so that doubtless by the close of the present year tho schedule time by all lines from New York to San Francisco will be fiyve days. The California roads will also greatly enlarge their facilities for travel and reduce fares, which will com- pel like action on the part of other competing roads. All this is in the public interest, but is also very sure to prove ultimatoly, it not immediately to the advantage of the railroads. Its tendency must be to encourage travel and increase business. Past reductions have had their effect, and the railroad managers now concede the wisdom of having done what for a long time they firmly refused to do, believing that the true principle was to exact all that the trafic would bear. The proposed re- duction of time and increase of facilities by the transcontinental roads will not only be of great importance to Cali- fornia, but will have a much more ex- tended value than is comprised in en- abling people to go more rapidly to and from that state. It will be a step in that grand march of progress which is steadily bringing the people of all lands nearer together and into terms of closer intimac Tue New York Financial and Com- mercial Chronicle, having made a careful study of the crop returns of the north- west, concluded that the disposition to regard the railroad outlook in that sec- tion as unfavorable is not warranted by the conditions. It finds that the total product of leading cereals in the north- west will differ very little from that of last year, so that the carrying, business of the railroads, so far as the crops are concerned, will be reduced to a very small extent, And this reduction will be more than balanced by the increase over last year of the transportation of commodities to the west. So far as Ne- braska is concerned, the railroads that move its products will certainly have no complaints to make of adiminished bus- iness. There is really in the situation not the slighest justification for the dismal prophecies regarding the future, but on the contrary everything to warrant the expectation of another year of substan- tial prosperity and progress.

IMPOSING UPON THE PEOPLE. The Tale of the Ravages of tho B. & M. on Citizens of Dundy County. EXCESSIVE RATES OF FREIGHT, Property Destroyed by Sparks from Engines—A Startling Story of Raiiroad Villlany—An Une feeling Official, BENKLEMAN, Neb., Nov. 5,.—[Special Corregpondence of the Ber.]—Dundy county, among the last in this state to be organized und settled, is rapidly be- ing filled with sturdy pioneers, the class of men to whom the scttlement of this continent is due. But these men have even more to con- tend with than the first scttler of the olden states. While it was the lot of those persons, who felled the trees and hewed through dense farests in the far cast, to encounter fhe savage on his native heath—and fight for his lifo und perhaps the liberty of himself and family,and experienced all the hard- tion dispenses with and wing proposition that all men were to enjoy life, liberty and the pur- suit of happincss—at least within the combines of ecivilization—and yet be robbed blind by the all-destroying wreckers, the railroad corporations. The man who looks over this newly settled territory and gives the stamp of approval to the wrongs and vages perpetaated by the B. & M. railroad company, would rob the blind to fore- close a mortgage on & gr:u’o‘\-arfl. Never did a ravaging pestilence leave in ity wake such undoubted evidences of total and complete destruction as have been made by the 133 railroad’s long continucd, excessive and extorti- onate rohberies, With freight rates placed at o figuroe 80 high that they at once imply ruina- tion to the producer and consumer, the hungry robbers are notsatisfied. ing tho last farthing that the di homesteader can _stand: placing freight rate on the nccessities of life that no mun can long endure; their fiendish and savage desirve for booty is not satinted but with wanton and reckless complacency they burn the crops of the husbandmen along their line. And the people tamcly submit to all this. T am told by dozens of good peoplo of this place thit about two weeks ago the B. & M. sent out a freight train from Mc drawn by a mogul engine which emitted cinders that were balls of fire, strowing them o a path coveri more than their vight-of-way, o the me of fire for miles be- hind —cor hundreds of tons the product of scores of poor and financially distressed men—their sum- s toil—their winter’s nced—their surplus capital—their alll 1t is furthor told me by a dozen citi- zens that the conductor of this freight train sow the fatality of this disastrons and cruel work of the fire throwing locomotive, knew that e hing the million spurks that burned as tinder the needed crop— he was guilty of a shocking and eruel crime—the willful destruction of prop- erty sc valuable, necessary and hard fo secure.

And what pinching w ing apprai Then eame the penny- cchers, the poverty-plead- of the rich and rotten iewed the ashes yet smoul- i here and there, and at- tempted to eficet asettlement by paying much Jess than the actual loss, And the people in their goodness of heart, in theirrespect for the law which claims to offer protection to the wrongea —must submit tamely toall these damna- ble outrages of cursed and crime-cor- roded corporate wealth and power! The citizens held a meeting—it was all they could do—a resolve and a re-re- solve. Out here where the legalized high- waymen ply their voeation alono and uninterrupted, it costs to ship one car lond of salt from Chicago 8150—two times and over what the salt is worth. On dry goods from Chicago it costs over $1.50 per hundred pounds—and from Omaha 95 cents per hundred pounds. Yet some people wonder why com- munists, anarchists, socialists and nihi- lists find favor in this country and think strangely of a thoughtful man who predicts that we are on the verge of a revolution. And yet we who ery aloud agninst tho ravages of railronds are named cranks —but I happily observe that this coun- try is well filled with cranks who will soon demand, at least, common justice. AL FAIRBROTHER. A Raflroad Building in Mexico, A correspondent from Mexico writes to the Philadelphia Recol It will bea long time before the M us shall re- covor their astonishment at the rapid manner in which Americans build rai roads. More than $65,000,000 has al- ready been invested by American cap- italists in the railway enterprises of Mexico. When a new road is to be built a swarm of engineers arrive— some young and full of theories, others gray with service clsewhere—and within a week succeed in transforming their raw recruits into hard-working bands, every man of whom labors as though he possessed an individual interest in the immediate completion of the enterprise. This is partly due to the fact that Americans pay higher wages than Mex- ican laborers ‘ever before enjoyed, and have o disagreeablo habit of promptly discharging those who do not *‘come to time,” und partly, no doubt, because these poople are great imitators, and ready to fall into the ways of thosc around them. The Mexican manner of railroad- building is diametrically opposed to the American plan. First a “concession,” or permission to build, must be obtained from the government, and then some point sought for, far distant from any other railroad, and the material trans- ported to that place. It would never do W begin neur the coast, because that { would have ¢ would establish a damaging precedent, contrary to all Mexican tradition. By beginning at the farther ond of the line employment is furnished to a great many ra and teamsters, whichy come to think of it, is r but simple justice, since the road will certainly <‘\u- stroy the business they inherited from their fathers, a business that otherwise nded to theirchildren’s this, these ag- s necordingly make stu- thrifty intent while their them for children, grieved citize pendous cha of making ‘‘hay sun still shines to to come, This moethod construction require time and capital, but if the builders will man- ¢ wwefully they will at least have the isfaction of offending nobody’s preju- s, and, what is of more eonsequence, mpathy of mule-own- proprietors, who arm in a ays. 1t dopendent wholly e workmon, the rond will ap- proach completion so gradually that by- and-by it will scom to the good |..-u,3'- as if it had always existed; and by that time the portion of the road first built will need renewing, perhaps by de- scendants of the original workmen, even to the third gencration. If Yankce railroad projectors should not faney this thoroughly Mexlean manner of proceed- ure they may go ahead on the American plan, but run thoir own risks of escap- ing the bullet, the stiletto or the not Jess murderous obstructions that were frequently piled uponithe Mesican Na- tional and Mexican Central tracks dur- ing their earlier ¢ A Wild Man From Kansas, A special to_the St. Louis Globe- Democrat from Middleton, N, Y., says: For some weeks past the thinly settled mountainous district along the Now York and Jerscy line west of Greon- wood luke has been kept in o state of alarm by the appearance of o wild man who recently took up guarters in the swamps and forests of the neighhorhood. The strange creature is hatless, shoe- less, vagged and wild-cyed, with long, Hoe W . ist matted hair and beard. out from his hiding places oc usually in the night, for the apparently, of getting food. When ap- proached by any of the neighbors he would turn and fly like a deer to the ve- cesses of the forest. The women and children were wrought up to a high do- greo of alarm by the appearance of the forchoding figure. When the story flew from house to house about threo weeks ago os the abduc- tion and maltreatment of Miss Olive ‘Walsh, dasughter of Benjamin Walsh, a respectablo farmer living nearAmity,the outrage was st down as the work of the wild man, and the fright and anxiety of the women of tho isolated houscholds became doubly tensified. After dar one night about ten days ago Miss May THunt, the daughter of Andrew Hunt, a farmer living in a seeluded loeality near Libertyvill almost paralyzed by fright on secing the wild-oyed, uncouth being peering in at the window of the kitchen where she was at work. Her little brother and she woro alone in the house, the rest of the famiiy not yet ving roturncd from a trip fo Bumer- ville. But her father had told Miss May where to find a londed pistol, and had instructed her how to use 1t in caso any impudent stranger cawe upon the premises. With the pistol in her hand she plucked up courage, and, opening the door, she blazed away twice ut the figuro she saw swiftly retreating into the cover of darkness. When Mpr.
