Suddenly the Atchison & Nebraska became tho proporty of the Burlington & Missourl through a loase for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, Then up went the rates and away went the bene- fits for which the people had voted the magnificent subsidy of three hundred and ninety-seven thousand dollars, The state now claims the right todeclare the forfeiture of the franchise of that part of the Atchison & Nebraska lying within the commonwealth, The testimony and the argument are alike convineing, ‘Why should not thesupreme court grant the prayer of the people and take away from the corporation what they Have ob- tained in deflance of the law and the moral obligations under which the lrinuuly subsidies were voted? rd har- THE OMAHA DAILY BET, OCTOBER 12, 1800-~TWENTY PAGES, THE WHISKY TRUST ANDPRONIBITION, And now the bureau of forgery and perju organized by the prohibition leaders hns mwn publicity to a letter from the president of the whisky trust. This letter is sald tobe an answer to o forged lettor written to the bogus Lucius Rodman, in response to a remonstrance ainst the trust's indifference about prohibition in Nebraska. President Greenhut of the trust is reprosented as saying that the whisky trust hascon: tributed more toward the logiti- mate expenses of the anti-prohibition campaign in Nebraska than any other agency or assoclation, If this letter is genuine the president of the whisl trust simply told what he knew to be a bald-faced lie. The whisky trust has not contributed one dollar in money to defray the anti-prohibi- | tion campaign expenses in N sk s0 far a8 anyhody N learn, It did ship and mail o lot of stale documents and circulars which had been left over from the Iowaand Kansss campaigns years ago. They might as well have been dumped into the Missowi river for all the good the have done. The only object the whisky trust m: ors had in shipping this trash was to impose on its patrons in Nebraska, and mi them believe that it was working to defeat prohibition. Asamatier of fact the whisky trust would prefer to have prohibition i braska. It could have had prohibition st winter by the Towa legisla- its influence had been legiti- exerted. The truth is that pro- repealed 1 wre if libiton increases the consumption | of cheapgr vhiskies and de- | o the comsumption of beer. It is easy enough for boot-leggers and their patrons to carry and conceal small bottles of whisky,butit is veryinconven- ient to ea orconceal bottles of beer about the person. Hence the whisky trust had just aslief, if not rather, have prohibition in Nebraska as high license and local option. It owns the Ne- braska distilleries and has been anx- fous to close them ever since it bought them in. It has centered its dis- tilling interest in Peoria and would prefer to supply all this section from that point, The presidentof the whi; not tear his shirt if prohibition carries in Nebraska, and all the howl about the whisky trust contributing thousands of dollars to defeat prohibition in Ne- braska is the weriestrot.

New and strange currents are flowing into thelife of the little group Ky trust will hard 1ines of race prejudice, But, moro than all else, the sced of New England has taken deop root in the great and hopeful empire that lies west of tho Mis souri river. It hus come with its capl taland culture to develop the marvel ous resources of plain and mountain and ley in this section of the United tes. Its blood and its brain, roproe: sented by thousands of its best sons, have come hence to build cities and states that shall unite the virtues and high spirit of the pilgrims’ land with the fredr conditions and bronder ideals of this western country, Inthis process of transformation all sectionshave grown stronger. New England has exchanged her provincialism for a cosmopolitan character, The middle states, the south and tho west have gained the eloments which they needed, The pilgrim was never the exclusive possession of any locality, New England held him in truast, The south and the est have now claimed their share of his personality. And the west, being the biggest and most congenial of the wotions, suceeeded in getting the lugost piece of it. E THE JUDC AND CLERKS, - The solection of judges and elerks for theensulng election is one of the most important duties devolving on the county commissioners, The grave lssucs tobe determined at 10 the ballot box lessthan the necessity of aprompt and accurate count demand that the commis- sioners abandon the beaten path and procure the sovvices of first ¢l countants and penmen. This isno time for granting favor: political friends. The vast inte: ke call forthe best talent available, must avoid incompetents and disreputables and enlist the ser vices of men whose names are a guar- anty of an honest ballotand a faircount, Everything must hedoneopen and above bourd, the disgraceful serambles at for- mer elections avoided, and every pre- caution faken to circumvyent the schemes of the encmies of the city and coun The commissioners must keep in view the fact that the slightest flaw in the conduct of the election will provoke a contest, and should the vote of Douglas county turn the scale onthe prohibition issue that vote will be fought in the courts ifa pretextean be found. Bve: thing depends on the selectionof compe- st No tent, reputable men. Thero will be no difficultyin sccuring the right men if the commissioners exert themselves, Election day beinga legal holiday, the services of bl clo accoun tants in stores and fictories and business men canbe procured, and the election con- ducted inan exemplary manner. The importance of this work need not be enlarged /upon. Tho commissioners areaware of it. Let thom consult with business men and secure for judges and of northeastern statos which, from the pelerks men of known probity, who will carliest hours of American history, have shared in every national eventand have t romained a lad apart. T vn'. rsago the cotton millsof New Eng- land were filled with young men and women who sprang from the best of pilgrim stock. The mill hand, the law- yer, the merchant and theminister came from a common ancestry and met upon a plane that lacked Littlo of perfoct equal- ity. But the native New England mill hand has gone, A swarm of French Canadian ope; es fillshis place, It isthe peasit that comes boisterously from the door of the mill at night nowadays, and he speaks a foroign tongue, The peasantmay be as good as the native behind the spindle, but as an element of the population of New Eng- land he is a very different character from his predecessor, He can not ap- preciate the pastnor enrich the future of a land on one hand full of proud tra- ditions, and on the other, presenting in its temper and environment the best pos- sible conditions for working out the problems of society. The decadence which began in the quality of New England labor with the advent of the Cunadian mill hand soon made itself manifest in the politics of the larger cities, The encroachments of the recently imported forelgner and the elimination of the native was here a slower process, but it has hecome in the eud nearly as complete. The Boston of Abbott Tawrence, to choose a name coeval with the cotton industry in its best estate, has become the Boston of Hugh O7Brien, M. M. Cu vif and Patrick MeGuire. This is notsaying that governmentis utterly had there, but rather that the pilgrim has given away before the oncoming of new and forcign elementsin the citizenship of the lurger citics, And now the lost bulwark of the pilgrim has fallen, The Now England farmbouse is invade The pleasant faco of the Swedish house- wife bends over the ancestral hearth of the pilgrim race. The Swedish hus- bandman tills_ the soil owver which Eathan Allen and his men swept to drive the enemy back across the north- ern border, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine have found tenants for the farms that the natives have left de- sorted, By special inducements and liberal ad vertising these states are fasu filling up the ant places in their agri- cultural districts, And they could at- tract no better or more industrious class than the Swedes. But these vital changes in the character of the farming vopulation well-nigh complete the transformation of New England. Her pople still have left their wonderful history, the great names ‘of their literature, their splendid insti- tutions of learning, aud they still have left some of the old blood and the old spirit in their public men, their poets and their orators. But the New England of old, which to a very large degreo dominated by sheer force of its greatness the social life, public | affairs and literature of this country, has passed away, of it? The seed of that superb eivilization has been scattered broadeast all over this union. Long ago some of it was planted in the wostern veserve of Ohio, where it has borne abundant fruit, It | has stimulated the life of 1llinols and its great city beyond measwre. It has quickened the pulse of the southern states, and is today flowing there In a torrent that promises an extraordi vary rovival of industrial activity, and, ultimately, velaxation of the | What has become | insure anhonost election and a prom pt and fair count, let the result be what it ma; ONE ¢ One of the objects which itis under- stood ePostmaster General Wanamaker hopes to accomplish during his admin- istrationis the reduction of letter post- agoto one cent. A billfor this purpose wasintroduced into the houss of repre- sentatives during the late although not much given 1t, the matter ceive moro atlentior It issaid that facts and figures are now being prepared for presentation to con- gress showing the effect upon the postal revenue when letterpostage was reduced from three cents totwo, estimating the effect of a further reduction to one cent, and caleulating the period of time that would elapse before the immediate loss of the revemue could be recovered through a freer use of the mail That one-cent postage will eventually come, andwill be in operation through- out the country; cannot bo doubted, session, and consideration was very likely to re- 1t the n session, @ Fifty years ago the postage on a leter composed of a single sheet was six cents il carvied less than thirty miles, ten cents between thirty and eighty miles, twelve and a half cents between eighty and one hun- dred and fifty miles, eizhteen and three- fourths cents between one hundred and fifty and four hundred miles, and twenty- five cents over four hundred miles. The st great reform came with the act of lsl; which reduced the rate tofivecents for less than three hundred miles and to ten cents for an, years later came another great reduction to three cents for less than three thous- and miles and six cents for any greator distance. In recent yoars wehave scen the rate reduced to two cents, postal cards at one cent introduced, and the weight allowed for single rate letters doubled. The tendency, in short, has uniformly been to make letter po cheaper, and its reduction to one cent can only be a question of time, The idea is to at first establish one cent postage for local letters in cities aving the carrier system, and undoubt- edly this has something in its favor, To begin with, it would make the immedi- ate reduction of postal revenues smaller than it would by applying the one-cent rateto all letters throughout the coun- try. Then, as transportation by railand boatoyer long distances is one great source of postal expense, it may seem unnecessary to charge as much for taking a letter from the postoffice in New York one block as for carrying it to Tacoma or Galveston, Still another consideration is that the surplus of earnings over expenditures in the delivery eities isnow enough to equal theloss of revenue whichwould be caused by reducing the postage on local lotters to one cent. Thereis to be set against theso considerations tho disadvantage of establishing two rates of letter pos- tage, this objoction being urged as in facta return, in some degree, to thoe old tem of dividing up distances for dif- ferent rates of postage, which was a great nuisance, But these and other objections will be g0 in time overcome. Threo and a half years ago Postmaster General Vilas spoke of this time as **probably not far distant,” and the incresse in the busi- nessof the postoffices would go far to- ward making up the falling off in rev- | \ | | | enues due to the reductionof the postage rate, There aro fow ways inwh'eh the luurplus revenues of the government can o more ju ple, Bocauso al less degroe sl udly returned to the peo- citizens to o greater or o in its benefits, OMANARAND THE STATE. Prohibition agitators and their de- luded folloversy openiy urgo the adop- tion of mendment to “punish Omaha,” boast thata blow at the prosperity of tho chief cityof the state Wil not be folt- by the people at large. This narrow miyded sentiment sorvesto show to what desperate striits the ad- vocates of prohibitionare reduced, They would array neighbor against neighbor, country against city, and sow strife and persecution on the ruins of prosperity, enterprise and contentment, Thetruth is that the prosperity of Omahais a matier of vital concern to every tixpayer inthestate, ns the sta- tieties demonstrate, [rom 1881 to 1800 inclusive, Douglas county fnto the state troasury taxes amounting tos1,162,- 426.42, or one-ninth of the entire revenue ofthestate.

Or more thanone-fifth of the These figures cleirly demonstrate that the prosperity of Omaha and every city inthie stateis a matterof vital concern tothe farmers. The adoption of prohi- bition means an instat drop in ety property values of fully thirty-three por cent, In Omaha this meansa falling off of at least six million dollars in assessed valuation, and in other cities in like proportin. How is this depreciation tobhe made wp? By increasing the val- uations in tho country and raising the levy. How thenare the farmers to b benefited by strikking *‘a blow at Omaha?” It is manifestly to their int- erest and tothe interest of every tax- pi tosustain the cities, not only to avoid incrensed taxation butto inerease the demund for the productsof the farm which invariably results from the multi- plication of industries in the cities From amoral and material standpoint, itis the dutyof every taxpiyer to re- pudiatethe imported advocates of pro- hibitionand uphold the present enlight- ened internal poiicy, which has assisted in making Omaha the metropolis of the trans-Missouri region and contributed to the development of every eity and county in the stato, —— ART IN OMAL The associutionof several prominent and wealthy citizens of Omaha with the object in view of-establishing here a pernanent publie art gallery is o pro- ject which merits the heartiest appre- ciation and encouraement of our peo- ple. The time hayepme fora well di- rected effortto givd Omaha this most valuable aid to popular eulturo and there ought to be yegguestion that what- aver public support might be necessary tosustain such an”institution and to steadily enluge 18 value, would be promptly given. This city is not bohind any other of its rank in the number of its peoplo who have a taste for art, and while many of these are in a position to indulge that taste and cultivate it, a much larger number cannot and to these a publicart gallery would bean almost inestimable boon, The gentlemen who have associated themselves together with this most . commendable pur pose in view are thoroughly in earnest, and by wiy of stimulating interest in the matter they are arranging for the exhi- bition in Omaha to eontinue during the month of November, of the spendid ex- hibit of foreign puintings now in Minne- apolis. A satisfactory arrangement can undoubtedly boeffectod, and the pople of thiseity bogivenan opportunity to s0e acolloction which hias been described as oqual to any ever exhibited inthe United States, Monwhile the Western Art associas tlonof this cily is ot fmctive. At its rocent meting, which was largely at- tended by leading artists and teachers of art, it was decided to hold an exhibition of tho works of local artists beginning November 10 and continulng tvo weeks, This association has done excellent service instimulating anddisseminating an interestin art, and it s gratifyiag to know thatit isnow more than ever bo- fore imbued with thespirit of progress and of devotion to the purpose for whichit was organized. It cannot be nocessary to argue the de- sivability of a public art gallery, or to pointout its value as an educational for These, it must be presumed, are obvious toall intelligent people. Omaha ought to have such an institutio; She has a population capble of appreciating wnd sustaining it, and it isto be loped tho publiespirited gentlemen who pro- pose that the city shall have a public art gallery will encounter no insur mountable obsticle to the consumma- tion of the project.
