Beatuice, Neb, May 9.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Brr.]—Mr. C. G. Dorsey, the congressman, but a prominent republ here, stated his opinion of the course to be ‘plirsted by the anti-monopoly conference as follows : Tho meeting of republican anti-monopolists at Lincoln should recommend and _strongly urge upon the party to adopt a platform and policy in touch with the rapidly growing sen- timent of the time on economical subjects. These ave all the subjects about which' the people are now concerned. The day of senti- mental politics is past, For many years the republican party conld run a campaign on the detestable record of the democratic party. 1t Was 1ot necessary to show the voters how much the republican party would do_for the of tha country, but it was sufficient to call attentionfto tow much the democratic party had.done to accomplish the country’s ruin. But thatday has passod away and a genoration has arisen that knew not the dem- ocratic party in its days of power and corrup- tion, and when it had well nigh wrecked tho country, and this generation demands living not sreat questions that now interest the people are the reduction of the cost of living ‘and tho increase of the earnings of the peo- ple; inother words, how to better the con- dition of the people. verything ultimately depends upon the condition of the farminis interest.” Times will never be really pros- perous anywhere or with any large class of the peoplé until farming comes to pay again, and farming can only be made proitablo by redycing the cost of getting farm products to market and by reducing the_cost of articles that aro of prime necessity to the people. Put all such articles on the freo list. S should certainly go on tho free idea that all the people of the United States, sixty millions or so, mostly poor people, should pay double price for their sugar in order that one Oxnard should be enabled to start a. beet sugar factory or that @ few vich millionaire planters in Louisiana should be enabled to pile up more wealth is a kind of bosh that has been perpe- trated upou the public about long cnough, and they won't stand it much longer. 1f the republican party does not shake itself loose from the influences that now surround it and assume an advanced position in favor of tarift reform it will fuil to elect another president of the United States. The other thing to be done is to reduce the rate of freights, both in tand out, 80 that farm produce can be-put into market at a cost that_will leave a_margin to the \mnlumr, and that fuel, lumber and all merchandise can be laid down in any part of Nebraska at the minimum of cost. Our ) freight should be no higher in Nébraska than in Iowa. A Scheme For Organization. TLaxcoLy, Neb.,, May 9.—[Special to Tnr Bee.)-—Said Mr. C. G. Dawes: “I am glad {Tar Bee is calling attention to the meeting of May 20. - As the mecting is to be held in tho everling the time for business will neces- sarily be limited, and unless men come to the convention with clearly defined ideas there is v that they may drift into a discussion vances rather than of the methods to correct them. A preliminary discussion in T Bee of the plans which should be adopted by republicans opposed to tho railway power in Jmhm‘s, ought to have the effect of facili- tating the business of the May 20 meeting in a marked degree. My idea of the methods ‘Wwhich this meeting should adopt to crush railroad can'u&uon in the ublican part; is is: It shouls ap- r)ln committees—one for each county n the state, each committee composed of not less than five men known to be opposed to railway dictation in politics and unpurchase- able. Let each county committee appoint sub- committees for each precinct in their county, “The meoting should nl)llolllt also a state cen- tral committee to which the county commit- tees should mako weekly reports and which should aid the county committees by litera- ture and it necessary by spoakers in points w?m‘! determined efforts are made by the lroads to capture the party organization, + Lot the business of raising the funds for lit- erature be left to the central committee. Let the meeting instruct the various committees forming this organization to work together for the following ends: First, the appoint- ment of only such delegates from the differ- ent countios of this state as will pledge oppo- sition to the railway element in politics, und +mmie a further pledge to attend the state convention in person, preference in appoint- ments being given to farmers who have not divectly or Indirectly been in the employ or “pay of any railroad company, 3, The passage of & rulein each of tho county conventions that in caseof the ina- bility of an appointea delegato to attend the state convention, his vote shall be cast by a . majority voto of the remainderof the déle- gatioh-and not by proxy., By some such plan a8 this the sentiment of the majority of the “pepublican party can be reached, and’ a plat- form and ticket formed through which the will of the ple can be expressed next fall. Al niust admit that an attempt on the part of _the peoplo to express their will in the matter ‘of railroad politics through any other channel than that of the republicun party, endangers not only that party, but the movement as V' A thorough organization such as we outlined is needed to convince the peoplo that houest republicans ave terribly in earnest in their moyement to put down the bribery and corruption which brought about the re- sult of the Hastings convention, T am firmly of the opinfon that the 20th of May meeting will end the dictation of the railways in the ities of this state for the simple reason 1 that it will devise the means whereby we will “have majority representation in the republi- can party.” Interviews fra Tecumseh, Trcuasn, Neb., May 9.—[Special to Tng —Hon. D. . Osgood, candidate for at- torney general, in speaking of the anti-mon- opoly. republican conference to be held in Lincolm May 20, says: “They should sug- + gest to the ropublican conveation to be called by tho fepublican central committee that the rallroad rates be fixed at a fair compensation of the cost of the roads, and not fixed upon wetered stooks or inflated values,” § m;.,lomood Ux[il\‘?sl.‘d great ““{h in the republean party 4s the great party of progress, h»horhutl-ll lamnodiuw relief can be ob- tained ouly in the republican ranks, Clarence K.

York County Opinions. ' Yous, Neb, May 9.—[Special to Tue | Brx.}~The following expressions were ob- tained from some of the most prominent re- publicans of York county as to the action to Dbe taken by the republican ariti-monopoly conference to be feld in Lincoin May 20 W. H. Reader, county clerk:—What we want to do is to send men to our county con- ventions who are not “cocked aud primed’ for the state conventions. Endeavor to place a delegation in the state conventions that o the interest of the people ot heart in- of some individual or corporation. While corporations deserve fair treatment they should not be allowed to control all our affatrs, M. C. Frank—What should they do?-~They should be conservative.

But I will venture to say I think the par mount demand is for good men in public office, If the conference at Lincoln can de- vise some scheme or_form an organization by means of which the bummers and scalawags can be left out and good, straight men (no matter what their vocations or afiliations, whether they are farmers or of any other pursuit) elected to fill the positions of trusi they will do » good work for tho state. think the erying need of the hour is clean men, true men, men who have convictions and courago and honesty enough to act upon them, men who will do what they say they will o the letter, My observation leads me to think this is at the very foundation of any truo reform, and is the first thing to be looked after, THE STATE OF BEATRICE. Sl Griggs and Pickerell Found at the Old Stand. Brarrice, Neb,, May 9.—[Special to Tne Ber.]—Your correspondent has obtained the following interviews with republicans: Watson Pickerell —My honest impressios that the so-called anti-monopoly republi convention, conference or whatever you 1 choose to call it, should adjourn before it co venes, and if there are any republicans in it, to stand by the regular nominces of the straight republican state convention. Hon. John Wardlaw—I am not thoroughly prepare” to express a full opinion on the sub- ject of an anti-monopoly conference; in fact, I Wwas not aware that suoh a couference was contempiated. There is, however, a demand for something that will 'better the financ condition of the farmers. It seems to me that this could best be dome by some judicious money or financial legislation. I am decidedly in favor of morc liberal pension laws, because by such means money comes mov freely into the hands of people who ate liable *o put it into cireulation immediately. This conven- tion or conference could very consistently recommend measures looking toward legisla- tion that will relieve the prevailing financial distress, and it seems to mo that tho pension question is one of the practical solutions of this matte Hoh. N. K. Griggs—I did not know that such a confrrence had been suggested, nor I see any very imparative necessity for such a conferomce in_the republican party, The effective way of securing any reforms for the betterment of the general people is through the ro}mhlicnu party. It is the great engine of reform in this country, its history and traditions are rich with the” record of "solid and enduring reforms, If the anti-monopol- ists are strong enough in the party let_them send delegates to the regularly constituted convention to be called by the regularly con- stituted aunthorities of the state republican organizations and fight their battles there. Ithink with Tne Beg, that Mr. Van Wyck made the great mistake of his life when he started out on this unwise crusade against the republicun party to which he owes so much. ont to vanquish the enomy, bridges behind him and has made no provis- ion for a possible retreat, and like one who has invaded the enemy’s counfry without his ammunition wagons and is_destitute of any means to wage a respectable warfare and is without facilities to even forage off the enemy. I believe that it is unwise for honest republicans to permit themselves to be be- guiled into any independent move that is very evidently fathered by enemies of the republican party. 1 beliéve that there is much that can and should be done for the financial and commercial improvement of the country and at the same time I honestly be- lieve that this can best come through the re- publican party. It seems to me that such a conference as that Ymposed is unnecessary, and that it will be fruitless of substantial re- sults. Anything that is right will win in the rc{mblh:x.m party, and that which is not right will nov win in that or any other pmi-. General L. W, Colbv—I have only inci- dentally learned of such a conference, and am of the opinion that if it does meet that it should immediately adjourn and the members of the conference o to their homes and wait for the regular convention of the republican party and. then and thero ventilate thelr views on such subjects. If this m.u-mumq‘)‘oly movement is of such formidable strength in the republican party its adherents should send its delegates to the state ropublican con- vention and fight its battles in that bodylike men. Iawm very free toadmit that I believe this so-called conterence of so-called repub- licans is engineered by democrats with a view of creating a schism in the party by which the democrats hope to Jrosper. There is ample room in the republican party for any and every reform looking to the alleviation of every distress that aflicts the public welfare. And'such relief can come only through the straight republican party. Postmaster G. M. Rigg—I think it unwise for true republicans to let themselves be de- terred or persuaded from their party loyalty by any such & movement as is contemplated by the Lincoln conference on May 20, The romedies demanded by the anti-monopoly re- publicans, if thero are any such, can best be considered in @ straight republican conven- tion. Tho republican party has always been equal to the emergency of the hour, and has ever been foremost in every movenient where the public good was to be conserved. Nothing enduring can be accomplished by side issues, They vate the very evil they scek to remedy, The fleld for the alliance and anti- monopolists to cultivate most freely is that of the regularly called ropublican conventions through that party, which is the dominant politicul factor in this western country, must the relief asked for come. Let the alliance and the anti-monopolists send brainy men to that convention. Let them make tho heard aud felt in the convention, and compel @ recoguition of their views in the platform % lh?flm publican party, It can ‘thus with 0 aid of & great party orgaunization secure the rights so wmhh!n{ly dewmanded, and can do 50 only h}' ‘that means. Mayor J, .. Tait—Great reforms can best be accomplished through the dominant party, which is theé republican party. 1 cannot be brought to believe that an anti-monopolist conference, like that proposed at Lincoln, can accomplish auything effective. There is, however, & great and crying need for some stringent and effective logislation in the agri cultural, commercial and financial interests of this western country, and especially for Nebraska. The trgusportation question is one of vitalinterest, The republican party should take some decisive stops toward sé- curing the relief demanded. = There is en- tirely too much discrimination in freight mat- ters against the interior cities of the stute of Nebraska, We should be given the same justioe that Is accorded to Iowa in this im- portant matter. The interstate commerce law should be publicly enforced in this state, and especially as regands Beatrice. Our poople aro becoming aroused to the injustice done us, The election of tho leading manufacturer and shipper of Beatrice to the presidency of the rd of trade means that we shall insist upon our rights under the interstate com- merce law With no uncertain or vascillating Colby, is Ho is ike @ campaigner who, starting has burned his voice. JVe shall demand its vigld enforce- ment and shall call upon our law makers to see that justice is done us fully and fairly, The republican party, to which we have been loyal, has the power to give us lief wo ask and we propose to send men the rel to the straight republican convention that are solidly secure on this very important ques- tion. “1do not think that any good can be accomplished through the anti-monopolist movement and consequently can see no neces- sity forsuch a conference as that suggested for Lincoln on the 20th, un t bo todefeat every measure for public relief that could be made effective were the united energies of republicans centered in the one great party that has always shown a disposition to enact laws in the full interests of the peop thus by concentrated effort command, d and enforce such logislation as will militate to the public good. Henry Albert—I think that whatever can be doné to solve tho transportation questin shonld be done. This is the great question that vitally interests the farmers of Ne- braska, I think that this reform. can be ac- c(nnqlishml through tho republican party, and believe that the wisest thing the pro- posed anti-monopoly could do would be to recommend the straight republican conven- tion to take decisive steps toward securing an casing up of freight rates and that the re- publicans of that conference seck and demand such reforms through the only available source, the republican party. I sincerely question the expediency of aizy third party move in this direction.” It will only weaken the conservative strength of the republican party, through which such reforms must como, if at all. I. W. Funk—I never have been in lated to y with any movement cale f the republican party. 1 believe the regular republican organization is equal to any emergency of public reform. The Burrows and Van Vyck's aro simply agi- tators who take selfish advantage of the gen- eral depression of business and endeavor to foist themselves upon the dissatisfied people as God given apostles of reform, and as the Moses to lead them out of the wilderness of distress. The place to begin reforms is in vimaries and caucuses of the regular parties. If the anti-monopolists are not strong enough to make any appreciable impression in their own parties, they surely cannot do so by any independent organization, In acting asa third party they are simply giving ai and comfort to their natural political enemies and crippling the party that can give the re- lief required, and which will give that relief if & concerted report is made to demand it of the party to which all reforms owe allegiance. cannot see any necessity for such a move as an an anti-monopoly republican conference. Alex Graham, chairman board of supervis ors—I do not sco just what they expect to ac- complish b y holding a convention, As I understand it. this convention is to be com- posed of republicans and I- think could ac- complish morc for the anti-monopoly causo by excrting the same energy within the ranks of the republican party than by any attempt to form a union with any other political faction or party. The republican party is broad enough to einbraco all the live issucs of the day and intelligent and brave engugh to deal with them fairly, S.C. Smith—My opinion is that the inspira- tion comes from democratic leaders, and when this fact becomes established repub- licans generally will take but little stock in the movement. Many o doubt will attend the convention out of curiosity, but curiosity, is a thing _easily You will always find_in ever classes of individuals thing new in this line. i poiuted politician, the other is the sensational fellow, always aspiring to be a leader, but nevor guite making the mark.

Iamin favor of send- ing to the legislature clean and_able men, selecting the best material and giving ever interest fair representation. Nebraska as an agricultural state should have a majovity of her legislators salected from the farming class, but the manufacturing and commerial inter- ests should not in any sense be overlooked. ‘There never was & time when party loyalty was more desirable than the present. Con- gress is working earnestly in its effort to secure favorable logislation upon the silver question, with every Yrospnct for success in increasing the circulation of the country. Give this country a currency circulation cqual to $10 to &0 pr capita and the effect will be to stimulate values, or rather restore them to what they properly should be. By “currency” T do not mean national bani cur- rency specially. If the people prefer some other kind Iam with them. Silver certifi- cates and gold certificates based upon coin or bullion will be just as acceptable to the banks if the people prefer it. Any one who bhas watched congressional proceédings closely during the past sixty days has discovered the republican party foremost in this matter. They will have discovered also that the pen- sion list has been largely increased. There has never yet been an_emergency which the party has not mot and mastered. It can be velied upon for good work in the future and the people know it. The convention at Lin- coln will cut no special figure in Nebraska politics. Afraid to Talk. Brokey Bow, Neb., May 9.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—Your correspondent has spent the greater part of a day interviewing poli- ticians, but they appear to be afraid to talk.

The threatening aspect of the weather yes- terday afternoon kept tho crowd away from the ball grounds, There were acouple of hundred fans on hand, however, and the game commenced in a lively manner. There were three innings played, when the flood- gates of heaven were opened and the rain came down in torrents. The diamond was quickly flooded with water and Umpire Hen- derson was compelled to call the game. Omaha went out in one, two, three order in tho first, but Kansas City got in arun, Hoover went clear round to third on a wild throw by Fanning to first of his hittle fungo hit, and scored on Elmer Smith's sacrifice, The second was also a goose egg for Omaha, and again Kansas City scored. Hick Carpenter led oft with a two-baser down the left field line, went to third on a fumble by Walsh and home on Manning's out to second. In the third Omaha tied the score. Moran struck out, but U uahart got to first on an error of Conw the Cowboy pitcher, Then Fauning drove the ball to short, and in his eagerness to make a double Nick Smith failed to catch ecither Urquahart or Fanning, Canavan forced Fanning at second, then both runners came home on an error by Nick Smith, and the game was tied, The rain at this juncture put a stop to furthier proceedings. Notes and Comments. The Kansas Citys are a fine looking body of men, and they are bound to come up with a rush. Poet Burns is considerably heavier than when he played in Omahu, and is field- ing his poition out of sight. Chub Collins has been signed to play second and captain the Omaha team and will Join the boys at Des Moines on the 15th. Mana- ger Hackett of the Kansas City’s says he is a very competent man, that he ‘is well posted on all points of the game, and_knows how to take advantage of them. Heis also a hard hitter and a base runner par excellence. Col- lins’ engagement will send Tommy Kearns to the field, but no one is to be released. Tom Nagle was released by Captain Anson of the Chics terday. He has played miserable ball, and he was displaced in Thur day’s game right in the middle of the contes Danny Stearns has as much to say as e during the progréss of a game and the umpire should call him down in his incessant chatter to the pitcher.

On the application for joint stations for freight and passengers at Conway crossing, on the “Q" and the Humeston & Shenandoah, there was a hearing before the board on April 9 and about 1,000 signitures from both sides were presented. The case has been hotly con- tested and the commissioners decided that that country was sufficiently accommodated by four stations within a circuit of ten miles oand a station near the crossing of the Humes- ton & Shenandoah, and thera was no ev dence of a demand’ for transfer facilities at the junction, which is an overhead crossing. The commissioners declined to order the erection of a station. There was a decision on the removal of a station in the case of ¥, W. Pierce et al. against the Des Moines & Kansas City rail- road. The complaint in its present form is dismissed by the commissioners without prejudice to the complainants. The case of J. I. Decker et al. St. Paul & Kansas City railroad stock killed, was closed, as the com settled for the stock. A complaint was made by the Hampton milling company vs the Towa Central rail- 1 company, the grounds being a refusal to switch a car to the Chicago, St. Paul & Kan- ty railroad.

The commissioners called the attention of the respondents to certain rules, On_ April 14 the complainant acknowledged satisfactory settloment of tho overcharge and the case was closed.

F. Conway and William M. Richardson. A paper in it bears the name of A. P. Vansyne, who is thought to be the er. The discovery has created some ex- ement, as 1o loss of that kind has been re- ported.

She presented for the first time here her new play, “Josephine, Empress of the French.” It is o strongly written historical drama, dealing principally in facts connected with Josephine's divorce from Emperor Napoleon and events that fol- lowed up to the time of her death. Tnasmuch as the author has dealt exclusively in sad, cold facts, the story is rather heavy at times but always interesting and full of intensely emotional life. A botter acted, finer staged, prettier costumed production has not been seen this season. In the title rolo Rhea appeared to great advantage. Some portions of her work reached the topmost heights of artistic excellence, The scene whercin she takes finul leave of Napoleon wus most effect- ively done. though not until her meeting with Empress Louisc, when she pronounces a curse on the head of that false dame, did she' arouse the spectators to an enthusiastic pitch of admiration. The Napoleon of Mr. William Harris was also a fine imporsonation. His make-up of the part is an exact imitation of the world-famed conqueror, J. M. Francoeur likewise de- serves praise for the smooth manner in which he characterized Talleyrand, the artful, de- ceptive prmce. Al the other parts wero so well taken that it was throughout a very enjoyable, satisfactory performance. The piece,however, was written ally for the benefit of a star; therefore paracters are incidental to and in su While Rhea fills evi expectation, is an actress of wonderful powe and sustains all the requirements demanded by this popular empress of France, one fecls that Napoleon ought to figure more promi- nently than he does. e Tampered With Exemption Laws. By tampering with the excmption laws of Nebraska, Dayid Jerman and Mike Hitt have got into trouble. L. W. Fetter is in the em- ploy of the Union Pacific company, working at the transfer in Council Bluffs. He had hard luck, and, like some other men, got into debt, owing N. B. Benson the sum of §60. Benson wanted to sell the account, and Jer- man and Hitt became the purchasers. They next learned that Ketter had $55 due him from the company and brought suit in Justice Barnett's court, at the same time attaching the money in_the hands of the railroad company. Bonds were given and the money was turned over. Fetter now claims that s he is a married man and a res- ident of Nebraska, the wages were exempt from levy and attachment, and to prove this the two men have been arrested. The case was called in police court yesterday and con- tinued until the 19tn inst. Ll Ball's Case Postponed. B. R.
