These shops have been ou wheels for ten years, but still they do not move. T2 is veported that the Union Pacific will in the near future build a line through Utah and Nevada to some point ‘on the Atlantic & Puciiic in southern California, Such a line would bring Omaha much nearer to Los Angeles and the California fruat region and event- ually would enable our commission men and jobbing houses to enlarge their commercial relations with the Pacific coast. Tue railroad compan and com- missioners of Iowa have entered into a dispute which promises to be bitter and prolonged. The trouble arose through the action of the commission- ers in asking information from the companies concerning their roads, which the lstter refused to give, As wallroud corporations ape subject to state regulation it is probable that the commissioners will flually be able to compe! the roads’ officials to answer muy proper questions regarding their T THE RAILROADS IN. POLITICS. The fine Italian hand of the railroad political dispatcher is conspicuous in the Secong congressional district at the present me. Though cunningly gloved it is visiblg everywhere, press- ing the palms and patting the backs of local candidates and delegates. Politi- cal tools whose 1nfluence is always for sale to the highest hidder, or whose bread and butter depends on the favor of the corporations, have made their pilgrimage to Lincoln for commissary supplies and marching orders. A score of these mercenaries are ransacking every nook in the district. When they eannot enlist the multitude for the mo- nopoly favorite, they boldly announce themselves as candidates for congress, hoping through friendshiporchicanery to secure a shave of the deldgates to de- liver to Laws. The desperata efforts of the railroad bosses to force Laws on the volers of the Se cond district should be vigorously resented by every citizen. The lesson of recent contests is a warning which the corporations would do well to heed. Majoritiesare not to be depended on when odious candidates are forced upon the voters, as the records of the district distinetly show. Such action in the past disorganized and all but wrecked the republican party in that section, and a repetition will alienate hun dreds if not thousands of voters who are de- termined to secure an honest, untram- meled representative to work for the best interests of the whole state. The voters of the Second district can not be trifled with, They know their rights and are thoroughly cmw:nb to maintain thom. Mercenary didAtion in the management of their political al- fairs will not be tolerated. They can not bo guiled with false protenses, nor ambushed by hired strikers. They are alive to the importance of the issues at stake, and the sooner Laws and his masked supporters realize this fact the better it will be for his mental peace ana the corporation treasurie statehood by the next congress. She has her constitution ready for presenta- tion as soon as congress assembles, framed on lines that would perhaps make itacceptable, but something more is necessary to the creation of a state than a constitution republican in form. The other conditions are wanting in Idaho. The vstimated population of the ter- ritory is one hundred thousand, but it is probable the census will show it to be considerably 1 than this. Should it be showr to be fully that number, how- ever, the development of the territory is not yet such as to warrant making it a state, and probably will not be for some yeurs to come. A very consider- able portion of Idaho can be made vaiu- able only by irvigation, which has been to some extent applied there with good results, She will be more likely to get the neededirrigation asa territory than as a state. As to her mineral resources, are undoubtedly extensive. The mines are vich and profitable, and with the resources of the territory developed Idaho undoubtedly has a future of a: sured prosperity. But progr in de- velopment has been slow, and it is by no means certain that it would be greatly accelerated by statehood, At any rate, her lands must be rendered available for agriculture before the ter- ritory can grow rapidly in population, and this must be a work of yoars. Idaho has a considerable Mormon povulation, and these- people the con- stitution proposes to disfranchise. Very likely this would not prove to be aserious objection to the instrument in the opiion of a majority of congress, but it will cause an opposition to the admission of Jdaho as a state that will not fail to make 1tsell felt. The sub- stantial and sufficient ground for re- fusing statehood, however, will be found in the inadequacy of population and of materinl development. ONE OF THE OLD REGIME. Captain Kellogg, late commander of tho government steamer Ossipee, who refused to convey Mnister Fred Douglass to Hayti, is a representative of that old class of “‘nigger” haters of whom it is to be hoped there are no more in the service of the nation. Kellogg professed that his officers did not wish to associate with a colored man and he himself declined to mess with the “nigger.” He was relieved at his own request of his com- mand, and it the secretary of the navy does his duty this prejudiced and narrow-minded sur- vivor of the old regime will continue without & command, at least while the present administration is in power. It need not be said to any one having uny knowledge of Fred Douglass that in character and iotelligence he is more than the peer of Kellogg. No one be- yond his cirele of personal acquaint- ances ever before heard of Kellogg, while the fame of Dougluss is world wide. In every eulightened lana he is known as.oue of, the ablest and greatest leaders of his race. Hohas filled important public positions with notable credit. As marshal of the Dis- triet of Columbia he performed the highest social duties at the white house. He was received abroad with distin- guished consideration, His appoint- ment as minister to Hayti was regarded as one of the most judicious made by the administration. His personal char- acter is without reproach, and his uniform conduct is thatof a gen- tleman. Captain Kellogg weuld have been honored by association with Fred Douglass, A great deal is suggested by this in- cident, but it is perhaps sufficient to say that the day is passed for allowing prejudice of the kind exhibited by Kellogg to go unrebuked. Fellows, such as he, deserve and should raceive nothing better than the contempt of in- telligent and fair-mindea men., He belongs to a class once powerful and not yet extinct, buv never again to enjoy the ascendancy and power it once had, The colored man 1s a citizen, having equal rights with every other citizen, and he will always remain such, He won his right to citizenship by faithful service asa soldier in de- fenso of the government, and no doubt hasever boen cast upon the loyalty of his race. Negroes are among the best soldiers of the regular army to-day, and they are in the military and naval schools of the nation, as well as in its civil service. Everywhere they are faithful to the duty devolved on thom. The recognition they have thus gained they will retain, and the narrow and contemptible prejudice of such men as Kellogg will rather tend to in- crease than diminsh it. As to the insolent and insubordi- nate ex-commander of the Ossipee, it is to be hoped a way will be found to ex- tend the unenviable notoriety he has gained by making such an example of him as will deter any others of his ilk who may be in the service of th e nation from imitating his conduct, If thero is a way Secrotary Tracy will un doubtedly find it DENOUNCING TRUSTS. Tvery political convention held this year has had something to say in denun- ciation of trusts, Some have been more sovere than others, but all have agreed in regarding this form of combination as hostile to the public interests, and demanding legislation for its suppres- sion. This is as it should be, but in view of the fact that it is but a repeti- tion of what all political conventions have uttered for the past two or three years, and that vresults in the form of anti-trust legislation are ox- tremely scant, these latest expressions of hostility to trusts can havdly be ac- cepted as altogether reassuring for the future. The fact appears tobe that in this matter the politicians of both parties have been paltering with the people in a double sense-~keeping the word of promise to their ear and breaking it to their hope. Hos many state logis- latures have taken courageously hold of thisquestion and passed anti-trust legis- lation intended to be effective? Not half a dozen. Congress did nothing, except to order an tion which developed little that was notalveady known. Thers wers some vigorous blows struck at the com- binations by the courts, but these wero not successful in suppressing any of them or preventing the increase of trusts, One or two have collapsed from causes wholly outside of any legistation affecting them. A few that have been proposed did not materialize, but not from any fear the projectors had of the law or of the law-makers. The number of such combinations is larger to-day than a year ago, and new *‘com- bines” are projected almost daily. Cor- porate capital in the torm of trusts ap- pavently was never move firmly in- trenched than it is at this time. Agitation of this question is always in order, but something more is necessary than mere empty denu ation of this latest resort of monopoly. That form of attack, it has been sufficiently shown, has no tervors for the trusts. Its only effect is to abpte the demand of the people for protection It is timo the people refused to be cajoled and con jured in this way, and insisted that their legislators aud their representatives in congress findand apply a remedy for the large and growing evil, Tae Wall Street Daily News is au- thority for the statement that very little eastern money is now sent west.

John F. Behm Gives His Views on the . Subj ect, Owmam, Sept. 28.—To the Editor of I'ue Bee: Iwasa soldier during the late war and am a republican, I should like to give my wiews on the pension question. - 1 would like to see every old soldier who was injured or wounded during the war and is unable to work, and cannot make a livt pension of at loast $30 a month. The great ake at present is that fully 60 per cent who receive pensions now are not entitled to tuem. Let the pension list be puolished in Omaha and you will be aston- ished to see who are now receiving pensions, I know many comrades who are crippled and who onl; vo from $2 to $8 per month, This is wrong. Do away with fraud and pay the ones who deserve the pensions. Man receive pensions on account of rheumatism, and other ailments that are temporary. Every man, from forty to sixty years of age, whether he served in the army or not, is subject to similar complaints, and thou- sands aro drawing pensions for such. Most of these pensioners, if re- amined, would save the government mil- lions of dollars. I would ve in favor of giving every soldier aland warrant mstead of the present home- stead law, which compels a soldier to live on aclaim one year. It would then give a poor man with a family a chance to get o piece of good land, such as 18 now given to railroads and other ¢ orations for nothing, I would make the land warrant non-transferable, and the title to become ood five years aftor the warrant had been issued, or’ after the land had been located by the holder of tho warrant. ‘Uhis would keep it out of the hands of speculators, and would give ample time for the holder to earn enough money to worlk the farm. Jouy I, BEn, Hints for Fruit Growers. Written for Bee. “The present season has been a disas- trous one as far as profits ave concerned, to the fruit grower. The crop of small fruits was much larger than ordinary, but when expenses of picking and marketing were taken out httle or nothung was left to the grower. The main cause of all this is the want of the proper distribution of the fruit. 1t passes through too muny hands be- t r2aches the consumer. In othe words the producer and consumer too far apart, and the many hands through 1t passes boiore the consumer is ched eats all the profit and takes so much time that thé fruit is so stale as to be nearly worthless at the point of consumption. ‘The growers should canvass the larger towns and cities, and sell direct to the r¢tailer, get ot once as near the consumer as possible, who would then receive the fruit much earlier and in an excellent, fresh condition. The pr ent condition of the matter stands like this: The grower pays from 14 ta2 cents per quary for picking. The rail- road takes 1 ceut or more if the car- riage is at all lengthy. The ca cents or 80, the commission for a cent or two, use of ¢ must be taken from the procceds before the grower lizes anythin market is so glutted, all send- ing to the wholesale dealer, that the price often fulls below 6 cents per quart, and below the expenses of ship- ping, In the consumer’s standpoint it stands this way: 6 cents to wholesale dealer, 2 cents for delivery to retailer, 4 cents for reselling to consumer or 12 cents cost to vhose who use them, and still nothing to the producer. There is no need .hat this be permitted, The grower should make an effort to reach the consumer more easily, Let them establish routes the same as milk routes in all the large cities, Saleswill lurgely increase.

Governor Thayer's attention was called to the action of the bar of the Third judicial district at Omaha, yesterday, by tho repre- sentative of Tue Bk, and in reply to the qnestion, “Wili you appoint Joseph R.

It is understood here that the action of the Butler county convention yesterday means a Harlan delegation, and it is saa that this strengthens his chauces greatly. Up to yesterday this delegation was practically conceded to Senator Norval, of Seward county. Furthermore, the aunouncement that B iage, of Franklin county, has shied his castor into the congressional race ons additional surprise and conjecture, eretofore Franklin's delegation has been imed for if notconceded to Sccretar And, itis said here, that the pr s held in Adams county yesterdny meun a divided and nota solid delegation for ary. Webster's frionds claim that votes from the Adams county Laws' friends, howaver, still claim it as solid for him. The “astonishers” talked in the corridors of the Cap hotel to-d led Colonel Webster to face- tiously remark that the dancer of the field uniting agaiust the strong man might com- pel him to be on his guard. *Tt is possible that [ may have to instruct some of the seven delegates from my counwy to vote for somebody else on the first ballot.”” It is claimed here n railroad political circles that Joel Hull will have some of the Kearney delegation despite the gisclaimor of the chairman and secretary of the late Kearney county couvention, The ficht in the Second congressional district is certainly perplexing atthis time. 1 the fleld should determine to unite against the strong man it may bo questionable as to who he will be. It is cor- tain now that no two of tne bresont candi- dates will have sufficient strength to com- situat \eve was also considerable talk in the lors of the hotels and on the streets that Novval might become a candidate for supreme judge. Whether or not he will be named as a candidate in coming stato convention is problematical, but it is never- theless admitted that e would be a safe man for higher judicial honors.

A Case For the Humane Society. Between 1 and'2 o'clock this morning the people in the vicinity of Ninth and O streets wore st rtled by maniac-like screams connng from a second-story window of the old Jour- nal block, Oficer Kinney and others ran up the stairway, and in a little room at the vight from the head of the stairs they found a woman and a terrified little girl of about ten or twelve summers. The woman is known by the name of Frankie Wright, and the little gurl is her daughter, She is a vie- tim of the morphine habit, and last night was out of the drug, and consequantly not sup- ported by its influence. Ivr screams were frightful. Dr, Hart was sent for, and, after administering & byperdermic njection of morphine, she grew casier. Whether she had any further attendance than this little girl during the night is not known. But this morning, a8 the effects of the drug passed off she again grew Hervous, but she managed 1o reach a physician in tine to preveny ancther outbreak. The rooms occupied by ber are only furnishiod with the barest necessivies of life, and the bed is a wretched affair. The woman has been in the city sowe two y and when she came had -some $200 or §00, with which she started a restaurant on South Ninth street, But the morphine habit grew upon her, and this, with her associations, gradually engrossed her attention to the ex- clusion of her business, aod to-day sho is a mental, moral and physical wreck. Waile her case is one calculated to call forth sym- pathy, that of her little daughter domands attention at the hands of the philauthropic peoplo of this city. She isa bright, active little creature, aud might grow up to useful womanhood if the proper forces were exer ted in ber bebalf, 13ut as ibis, and without out- side influences, nothing but a life of shame and degradation stares her in the face.

E. NEGRO HATERS, The Atlanta “Constitution’s" Respect 10 the Bulldozers' Mocting. Atlanta Constitution, September 21: The porsonal aspects of the meeting of Wednesday night do not concern us in the least. We believe we roceived more lotters yesterday approving our course than votes were cast condemning it. Every journalist who does his duty must expect to be the subject of adverse “‘resolutions” once 1n & while. We are glad that our fivst experionce of this kind comes from protesting against the dragging of holpless negroes from their beds and lashing them with lawless and_ merciless hands, Let us look at this East Point out- rage & moment. A.negro boy had been lynched for a bratal sseault on a white girl. After the excitemont was over, when not a negro was 1o be seen in East Point, a number of men went through the woods, breaking in the doors of negro cabins, dragging un- armed negroes from theic beds and stripping thom and whipping them. This was an outrage—wanton, because thoro was neither necessity nor exouse for it—lawless, because there is no law for it—worse, because it was visited on helpless and defonsoless mon—a wrong against Georgin, for it stained her fair name—and against the people of the south, because it affocts the geW- oral estimate of southern character. ‘We denounced it promptly, and we de« nounce it again and deliboratoly. The officers of the law should never rest until they have brought the perpetra- tors to conviction and punishment, Perhaps there never was a time in the world’s history when such an oute rage might bring wider or more appull- ing rosults, The two races of our sec- tion are in strained relations, The most irresponsible member of either vaco may hecome the hinge on which both races will wheel into opposing fao= tions, A single blow struck in rago or drunkenness may lead to n thou= sand that fall in deliberation. A white man may whip a negro. The negro may rotaliate by another outrage. The friends of both may become involved. Instantly race antipathies may be de= veloped. PForgotting tho justice or in- justice of the original cause, its trifling and purely pe! ul character, - whole communit become involved. ht now than ever, we should . dup a public sentiment that will co such out ption- it not_impo: a sentiment that 1l punish those who. thoughtlessly or viciously, endanger the public peace and general welfave. We are confident that ht-tenths of the people of Atlanta approve our course and disapprove the temper of those resolu But were this prop- osition veversed. we should vot hesitate or wavgr in the course we have marked out as ‘the W right, and just coursd. As to that meeting, we are glad that it was called. Though the purpose miscarried, its proceedings are not without a lesson that will impress itself on the people of this community, of this section, and of this republic. a ol Creation, Captain John G. Rourke, of the Third cavalry, United States army, in his notes on the Mojave Indians, snys: A hundred yards or so from this point (a place already described) was a lat-topped, rock , known as Mat- ho-ko-subbi, or “‘the | or lund of holes in the nose,” because here once all created life mottoengage in games of running, jumping, swimming and king. Allthe birds had holes bore in_their beaks. The dvck came last, “Your nose is too tlat,” said Pu-o-chash, led the judge, because he is the judge of all fictions of men or animals, here or hereafter. *I can’t help that,” said the duck, * born so; I must nave a hole in m o like the rest; 1 wouldn’t look pretty without it.”” The judge consented and the hola was bored. Then men came up. Tho judge said ‘I don’t bore holes in flat ‘noses. No flat-nosed creature, except the duck, can have a Hole in his nose. A flnt- nosed man wouldn’t look prettyv.” Afver that, the animals ran round in acircie, The duck and dove both ran and flew and so came in ahead; the horned tond ran until out of breath, and then stopped. When Mustam-ho first created men and animals they were very much alike in appearance. and Mustam-ho did not know what any particular kind was good for, That’s the renson why he us- sembled them here, Merryman said, and made them run to see which could best live on its legs; swim and di to see which could best live in water: fly, to learn which were qualified to abide in e also asked them many que Which of you 1s anxious to live without work and eat such food 43 man may throw to him?” *1,” said oue Allright, then you shall be the dog,” said Mustam-ho. And so with the others. He and the man went among them, and so he called fishes, and made them to live in witee, and some were sni and crawled on the ground All animals veceived their Laimes that day. The dog was made the same time that man was, The Mo- javes used to eat dogs, and most of them do so yet. The bear and coyote were made uptil until some time afterward, “After death, we follow the shadows of our great, great grandfathers, those relations whom we have never seen, We don’t catch up with them; they bave died again and changed into something else. Maybe so, bimeby, long-time, we'll catch up and be the same as they ave, but ILdon’t think so Idon’t know. “*When a Mojave dies he ges to another country, just like his it is the shadow of his own coun= .y, the shadow of 1ts rivers, mountaing valleys and springs in which his shado is to stay,” - Travelers report thut more Enghsh is spoken on the European continent this yoar than ever befor C&tarrfial Dmngefs.
