The arraignment of subservient party leaders who have become active factors in making thisstate a mere province of railway corporations is fully justified by the political history of the state. It is a lamentable truth that the machin- y of the republican purty has for years heen in the hands of monopoly imen. The methods by which have made and exercised this con- The the; re well known, Corruption iu its most repulsive form has been openly and shamelessly prac- ticed, and every unscrupulous device kuown to the basest politics has been freely employed, in order to seduce pub- lic men from their duty and strongthen the gripof the confoderated monopolists upon the throat of the public. How ful the reprehensible influen and methods of the railvoads have been is known to every one acquainted with the politics of the state. The baneful consequences have been felt by the peo- ple for yenrs and ave forcibly attested in the shameless disregard of the public intercst by our legislature. The masses of the republican party of Nebraska are opposed to monopoly rule. The wrongs and abuses that have been perpetrated are due to the baseness and treachery of mercenary leaders, It is in the power of the rank and file to ap- piy the remedy.

It is manifestly their duty to assert themselves and redeem the party. This is the key note of the appeal and we heartily second it.

It is at this initial pointin political con tests that the people must assert them seives, There never was a time wheu the re- publican party in this state neecded purging more than it does at this hour. But wise counsels should prevail. 1If anti-monopoly republicans abandon the sucees the repub- misrute of bo done primaries. frecing the party, instead of pattling manfully to redeem it, they will simply surrender the state into the hands of its worst cnemy. The appeal for concerted action should be d. and the call for a general conference of republicans who desire to redeem the state and place the party in position to redeem its pledges should meet with a warm response. heed D ) INDUSTRY. Livery period of industrial stagnation, whether local or gencral, is productive of economie quacks and cure all reme- dies. Livery political mountebank has a ready uostrum to relieve the wants of every class and make every- body prosperous and contented. The present depression in the west has brought forth an abundant supply of public savior Somo insist that the government should issue several billions of mouey, others mend thay Uncle Sam establish a general loan agency with supply depots for the storage of grain on wiich money is to be advanced at two per centa year. Others clamor for the general distribu- tion of the surplus, and others still d mand the abolition of gambling in provisions and grain. Doubtless some of these might afford tem- porary velief. But they give no assurance that the conditions com- plained of ut prescut can bo averted in the future should the earth yield as bounteously as it did in 1880. The stern fact is brought@home to the pro- ducers of Nebraska that diversification of crops is cssential to permanent pro perity. Conceding that corn must con- tinue the chief staple of the state, iutelligent and enterprising farmor: eannot depend upon the maricet pric of the raw product to annually yvield a fair interest on the means and labor invested. Grain must be into beef, or flour better roturns, by o decrease of bulg and reduced cost of transportation. This is the highway to peemanent relief. What we need most is mills and fa, tories designed to consume the raw pro- ducts. We have made a grent deal of headway alrendy. [n the tey ye tween 1870 and 1580 the number of fac- tories in this state increazed from six hundred ana seventy to fourtcen hun- dred and three.

AMERICAN COMPOSEKS. Mrs, Jeannette M. Thurber, whose indefatigahle efforts for the promo- tion of musical culture in the United States merit the very highest com- mendation, has evolved a new idea that cannot fail to have gratifying results, This is to give in anumber of the prin- cipal cities of tho country concerts con- sisting entirvoly of music by American composers, the season of distinctively American concerts to concludo with a grand three days' festival in Omaha, at which time there will also be held here examinations of applicants for admission to the National conservatory of music from Nebraska, Towa, South Dakota and Missouri. The unique idea of a secies of co certs in which only Ameriean composi- tions will be rendered will have vesults both educational and stimulative of musicul-effort, It is probale that very fow persons, even among well-informed musicians, were aware of the fact that musical composition in thiscountry, of a meritorions character, had attained cient proportions to supply accept- able material fora three days’ festival. The general impression is that the American people has made less pro- gress in this direction than in almost any other, and perhaps this is the fact, but it is névertheless an agreeable rev- ition to find that so much has been accomplished. Doubtless a great deal of this music is not American in the senseof having been com- posed by persons *of native virth, but its elaim as a distinetly national product will be nono the lgss secure if it found here its in- spiration and character. In the other respect of stimulating musical effort these concerts ought to have a most valuable influence, Just as the growth of interest and favor toward the produc- tion of plays by American nsuthors had tne effect to stimulate ef- fort in this department of litera- ture, so it may reasonably be expected that musical compositions will wul- tiply as soon as there shall be de- veloped a market for such productioas, As iu the case of the drama, undoubt- cdly the greater part of this effort will go fodnothing. Thero are hundreds of plays written annually which are doomed never to be heard escept by the admiring friends of the ambitions au- thors, and sotherc would bea multitude of musical compositions whose refrains would be known only to the restricted ccle of the composers’ friends. But if the result is to develop only two or three really worthy American composers, who shall produce something that will be accepted in Burope as well as by our own people, as have been the plays of a few of our dramatic authors, the gencrous and patriotic American woman who has given practical form to an original and most excellent idea will have complished an inestimable service to her country The sclection of Omaha for the fos tival which is to conclude the series of concerts is a compliment to this ci which its people will heartily appreci- ate,and we venture to predict that there will be no cause of compluint on the score of popuiar support, The provose event will take plaee in November, and it will be anticipated with great and general interest.
