Mr. C land is very mad at the rusty condition of the democratic machine and is look- ing about for another engincer. Titk Union Pacific is reported to be removing the old piers under the bridge.

The fraternity has a great op- portunity to show the city how well it appreciates the courtesy extended to it. STOCKMEN of Texas are complaining of the great expense entailed on them from the necessity of branding their horses and cattle. It is estimated that five million dollars are spent annually in that state alone, which is certainly a large sum for the protection the branding affords them against thieving. THE attempt to rob a Union Pacific passenger train in Wyoming was hap- pily frustrated by the bravery of the brakeman and engineer. Holding up Union Pacific trains has never been a financial success, and would-be train robbers are kindly but firmly advised to confine their operations to the rail- roads of Texas, New Mexicoand Arizona. DENVER is considerably exercised over the existence of typhoid fevér in ‘that city. The board of health has been investigating the matter and finds that in the hospitals alone there are 124 cases, while the number of sick at their homes is variously estimated at from 600 to 1,000. With a virulent epidemic raging Denver can no longer claim to be a health resort free from sickness, due to her altitude and mountain air, BEeSIDES considering the question of a deep water harbor on the coast of Texas, the Deep Harbor convention which meets at Denver on the 28th, will discuss Senator Bowen’s plan for the ir- rigation of the arid plains of the west. The proposition already before ¢ gress contemplates a series of reservoirs stretching from the head waters of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers through Colorado and western Nebraska. The scheme, although gigantic in concep- tion, may be feasible. If this system of irrigation can be accomplished, it will reclaim millions of acres of land which today are waste tracts for lack of moist- ure. THE SHIPMENT of California fruits to the New York market is comparatively a new undertaking., Last year the ex- periment was tried of shipping fruit farther east than Chicago, but it was not a financial success. Owing to the rapid train services inaugurated and the better facilities made for handling the fruit this year, the business has de- veloped wonderfully in the space of a few months, The shipments have not begun to meet the demand, and the fruit is distributed not alove in New York, but in towns within one hundred miles of that city, The prospects are that the new trade opened will grow into enormous proportions and will seri- ously interfere with the sale of Dela- ware and other eastern fruit. Cali- fornia, in consequence of the increased business, will become the great fruit state of Americas How They Have Kept Out. The advent of Charles Francis Adams to the supreme control of the Union Pa- cific railroad was signalized by impor- tant reforms from which the patrons of the railroad company and especially the people of Nebraska had much to expee At the vory outset of his administr: tion Mr. Adams proclaimed himself as most decidedly opposed to intorference on the part of the officers of the Union Pacific with the political affairs of the state. He profossed to cosdemn and de- plore the policy of his predecessors in packing political conventions, dictating candidates for state and leg- islative officos, and carrying on a parti- san warfare against all who dared re- sent and resist corporate interference in politics. A proclamation of emancipation was issuod by Mr. Adams, absolving all rail road employes from involuntar tude as henchmen to the political rai rond bosses, and assuring the people of the state that henceforth the Union Pacific railroad was out of politics. This deli nee from Iroad bulldozers was an agreeable sur- prise to the people, but like Grover Cleveland’'s famous order against offensive partisanship, it was merely a sham and asnare. Mr. Adams personally may be i good faith, but his subordinates, and notably the head of his law department at Omaha, have manifested no respect for the promised reform. Mr. Adams may or may not be aware of the fact that much of the enmity that still exists against the Union Pa- cific railrond is chiefly due to the persistent and offensive meddling with politics by officers and em- ployes of the road. While it is true that the retinue of ward bum- mers and vagrants which formerly con- stituted the active following of Union Pacific bosses at primary elections and conventions has been oste bly dismissed, n class of just as dis- reputable vagabonds is kept on the trail, hounding decent people orable men who aspire to poli sitions, These political mercenaries derive their sustenance and influence solely from the chief of the oil room contingent, who is tramping all over this state ostensibly as the champion of the republican cause, but in reality as manipulator of conventions and setter- up of political jobs and plots. ‘We do not propose to mince matters in dealing with this subject. When A. J. Poppleton was general attorney of the Union Pacific he never went near a political convention or a legislature. He is an intense democrat, but did not deem it part of his official duty to organize political raids against the rank and file of his party, under the pretext that such a course was made necessary to prevent hostile legislation or insure f: treatment, Such infa- mous and criminal work was left for John M. Thurston, who admitted as much before the Pacific railroad com- mission. But when Popploton retired, Thurs- ton solemnly announced upon his word of honor that as general attorney of the Union Pacific he should turn his back upon his past oil-room record and de- vote himself to the legal business of the company. How he has kept his word of honor is notorious. Even M. Adams, preocupied as he may be, caunnot ignore the fact that Thurston is to-day the most active politician in Nebraska. Heis not merely content with exercising the political privileges of an American citizen. His right to do s0 nobody will call in question. But Thurston has made himself the head and front of a political faction which seeks to dominate the state through the ma- chinery of the republican party for bas ends, by the use of corporate patronage. Thurston has this season, as much as ever, scattered railroad passes among venal shysters and po- litical vagabonds, and his followers everywhere are held together by promises of corporate favor to the detri- ment of the public. Now, what need is there for Thurston and his oratory in Nebraska in the pres- ent campaign. Nebraska has an assured republican majority of twenty-five thou- sand for Harrison and Morton, The only thing that can possibly bring disas- ter to any part of the state ticket is the foisting of obnoxious candidates upon the party by the corrupt and malign influence of John M. Thurston and his ilk of disreputable and venal political hacks who have betrayed the peovle in the past and cannot regain public confidence. It is manifest on its face that Thurston is only acting out a policy which the president of the Union Pacific road con- demns in Massachusetts but condones and secretly upholds in Nebraska. Make No Mistake, The state treasurship is not merely a toothsome bone which prominent hank- ers and combines of bankers are trying to grasp, but it involves an office which the railroad managers ave desperately determined to fill with a man who will do their bidding on the state board of transportation. The two most prom- inent railroad candidates for treasurer are Yost and Einsel. The first named is the Union Pacific’s choice, and comes to the convention with John M. Thurston as his chief sup- porter. Einsel has the powerful back- ing of the Burlington managers, the B. & M. townsite ring and the combine of politicians that train in the Nobody ean be blamed for the posi office is worth fully twenty and dollars a year, and with railroad perquisites it may be made still more lucrative. It 18 & sugar plum which certainly ought to satisfy the appetite of the most hungry politician. The republican party should bestow this office on no man who is known to be a mere hewer of wood and drawer of water for the railroad corporations. The position demands a man of the highest integrity and & mau whose past caveer entitles him to the gratitude of his party. It wilt not do to load down the state ticket with rank monopolists because this is a national campaign year. Party loyalty to the presidential candidates will not prevent a revolt if the convention, under the malign influence of the S P L T BN THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, AUGUST 20. 1888 corporation bosses and their allies, the professional jobbers, should commit the criminal blunder of entering the field with a ticket composed of men whose record for integrity is clouded and whose associations are and have been with the worst element of the railroad faction. Republicans must make no mistake in their state nominations, — Democratic Troubles. The democratic party has several more or less serious troubles on hand. It is troubled hecause it has no really girent and efficiont leader to uphold standard in the campaign. It is sorely troubled by renson of the apathy and indifference which appear to have set- tled down upon it. The indisposition of the people to place confidence in its ability, or rather in the ability of its southern wing,to rearrange the fiscal policy of the government, is o source of aggravating trouble to it. It is a good about the situation in deal troubled New York, without which state the party cannot obtain possession of the presidency. The evidencos of re- publican zeal and enthusiasm trouble it greatly. Another trouble which is said to have been added to the many that burden the democracy, and not the least serious of them, is the discovery thata very great mistake was made in placing Mr. Calvin S. Brice at the head of the national campaign committee. Mr. Brice isa millionaire who has made his money chiefly in successful railroad invest- ments, though these are not at present the only sources of his income. Since he has begun to actively operate in pol- ities, he scems to have reached con- clusions not entirely in line with the policy for which Mr. Cleveland is responsible, and he is charged with having permitted some statements to escape him not altogether friendly to the attitude of the president. Mr. Brice explicitly denies having made th utterances ascribed to him, but ther scems to be no doubt that he fallen into disfavor with the president and with Mr. William L. Scott,and it is the current belief in New York and Wash- ington that Mr. Brice will retire from his position at the head of the campaign committee. Such an occurrence would be damag- ing to the party, not for the reason that Mr. Brice is espocially valuable for anything but his money, but because it would be a most striking evidenco of internal dissension and dissatis- faction respecting the policy of the president that would inevitably produce defection in the rank and file of the party. It would go far toac- count for the prevailing apathy among the managers of the party, a number of whom are snid to be in full sympathy with the attitude attributed to DBrice, and.its general effect would be to, in some degree, weaken and demoralize the parf Having these certain results in view, it may be that the reported pressure to bounce Brice will be with- drawn, but in any event, if matters are as represented, the chairman of the campnign committee will be allowed to cutonly a very small figure, and he would, doubtless, not long submit to be virtually ignored. Meanwhile Mr. Cleveland appears not to have lost any faith in his own infallibility and to still insist in having his authority as the party master fully respected in all things, Raiding the Streets. Is it not high time to enforce laws in Omaha against tearing up streets on Sunday? The very fact that such work is begun after midnight on a.day when legal process cannot be . executed through the courts, is on its face proof positive of lawless intent. In tearing up lower Douglas street the managers of the Motor line have not only acted in deliberate defiance of the state laws, but they have purposely ignored the city ordinance which for- bids the building of street railroads on any paved street without a permit from the board of public works designating the blocks they may occupy. It was the duty of the police in this instance to arrest notonly the man- agers of the wmotor line but every man employed by them. Once and for all time these lawless raids should be stopped in this city. A cor- poration owning street railroad fran- chises should be held to a strict ac- countability for destroying street pave- ments without authority, and men en- gaged in Sunday work on the strects should be punished to the full extent of the law. JonN M. Tuur: ¥ has been on hand at several of the county conven- tions, which have passed resoluvions in favor of Senator Manderson’s re-elec- tion. But somehow the candidates nominated for the legislature have for the most part a strong leaning towards the Union Pacific oil room manager. It will be easy for them to find a pretext for flopping from Manderson to Thur ton just about the time the senatorial fight reaches a focus. STATE AND TERRITORY, Nebraska Jottings.

No watering place in America has such an immense number of arrivals in August as Saratoga. The seuson is at its height and gaicty reigns on every side. A walk down Broadway reveals characteristic Sara- toga life in all its diversity. The shops are at ve and the windows contain handsome and elegant goods to tempt the passers-by. A diamond necklace has been on exhibition at one of the stores, which is valued at $25,000, and there is always an admiring throng avound this window looking at this glit- tering gem. One of the belh.s is reported to have a wardrobe of THREE HUNDRED DRE with buuxwh and parasols to m uit.

Peterson & Brothers, Philadel- phia. is a bright, crisp and breez, of fashionable life in Washington, with summer episodes at Saratoga and Bar Harbor. 1t a keen, trenchant and lively exposition of high life at the na- tion’s capital, with sufficient satire to give ita mnng flavor.
