For such aservice K should think a thousind dollars would be about right, so then boys you may look tosee one farm ol his mortgage pretly son. How desp ble! Lacking the weapons of legitimate po- I watfare,or withoit brains to used them if ot haud, towhat depths of infumy will men sometines stoop in order to make a point against au opponent. I own that In this campign I have sail some bard things, but if any one will show that in any mstnce I lave not it least atempled £ojustify myself by a pre. sentation of facts and argiments, T will sup- make fullg ply the omission or retraction. But really that is about my being: n “traitor tothe cause’ Howcould I ho a traitor to acavse that I never espoused ? And yet this isa fair sampleof the logie of the new party people.

The pith of the scheme is this, that moncy is (0 be sent into every county (o buy up leading repu bl menibers of thealliance, wherepon they be expected towrite letters for publication against the new party ticket, which, it is ex- pected, will cause a stampede among the favemers and burst that outtit wide opeu. The Dictator gives due noticethat hereafter any “allisnee men who write letters agiinst the independent moverment will be known as pur- chasol tritorn 1 suppose he i meouragethe productionof such lotters and as a further inducement [suggest that hecall a4 meetingof the executive committee and have them order a itable badge for such iters. The yord “traitor’® might bo prom- emblazoned thercon with such other littlo cmbelishnents as the refined tasto of the Dictator himself might sugsest. Such alliance writers are to receive all theway from§20 &0 each. I very much rogrot that T did ot begin my letter writing later in the campign, for now] greatly fear that hayving alrvady committed myself Tshall get neither the badge nor the money. I have a mind to kick myself for always being too previous. If this most wicked plot should sucewed, the gontlomen on the now party ticket may find some consolation inthe reflec- tion that the eirculation per capita smong the farmers will have been greatly tnereased and that the dispeiserof badges will have been enabled tomake a snall. commission on their sale. Repablican farmers of Nebraska, how long willany of you hesitate! No good can come of a party withsuch leaders. Those who ro. sort to sich infamous methods tostiflo froe speech will surely meet their just reward. Within _aurselves ~we have the power to pro- tect oursdves, Let us use that power dis. creetly and jusily, remembering that as Rome was ot built ina day, sothe ushering in of the millenium does not depend on the result of a political campaign and _let us leavesocialistic scheners and visionary theorists severely alone.

Lewis and Goodnight —haveunited in the preparation of areport setting forth their opinion on the results of the investigation, The report reviews their evidence in the refrigoator case and says: “*We lament the conduct of a public oficial who invokesa fino technicality of erminal law to screen himself from proper investiga- tion and to hide from public view the details of a business which is being conducted from one of the government bureaus and concera- ing the character of which so many and such damaging charges have been made.”’ As to the charge of tho advancement of pension clims for Lemonin consideration of his en- dorsing the commissioner’s note, the report states: “No intinate friendship is shown to have existed between the commissioner and Lemonand there wereno business relations before, Why should Lemon -a good business man—risk $12,000 on one who is afraid to have bis solventy inguired into! The com- pleted files systen was just what Lemon de- manded, and so soon s established ne was o underyrite for the commissioner, he had never before done, though often consulted by the commissionér about his neals during several months before, It isthus clear that Lemon was favored aud veaefited. It is equally clear that Commis- siner Raum was placed under obli tions to Lemon, something no rugged integrity can approve and no delicate sense of propriety endure.” In conclusion the report reads: *Thus it seems (0 us that the commissioner of pen- sions hus not properly esteemed the delicate duties and serious ~responsibilities of his great office, nor has ho measured up to that high standard of patriotic consideration for publicservice which should prevail in this department, adjudicating the disbursements of nea -third of the revenues of the government, The pension oMce is altogether too sacred a place forthe dovelopment of the }wrs:)nul thrift and euterprise mani- isted in this record. L was o8- tablished that the nation might properly care for those to whom it owes a gratitude too sicred for trifling. It is a monument to the munificence of a grateful people, and its hundreds of employes should bo ministers of merey and not stock gamblers. That the place thus hallowed should have been used for stock jobbing or speculation, converted {ito @ spawnin g place for orpora- tons and a stall for bartering doubtful patents is arefiection upon our government, adegradation of the public service which we think cannot be too strongly condemmned, If the weal and sensitive demands of the occasion be measured by the example of the forbearing Nazarene, who scourgoed from the temple the merchants and money chang- ors or by the commendable conduct of Presi- dent Arthurin removing an associate justice of the Arizona supremo court for borrowing money of an attorney practicing before him, congress must agree with us thatthereshould be a bettermentof the public service bya lousecleaning in the ponsion bureau.” As the majority of the commitice intend to pursuo the investigation further at tho next session of congress, the report will not be wade until that time. s Miss Alico Raymond's first appearance inOmaha at the expo- sition this evening, i Seventh Ward Itepublic There will be s republican mass meeting at the elub room, 1212 Park avenue, touight at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of olecting officers for the primary eluction.
