Rallre And the Government. IL 18 proposed, fellow citizens, that the United States government shall own and operato all railroads, That means, of course, thet the government of the United States sball buy all the raitroads and that it shall become the employer of all the 700,000 men who are now oparating the rai'roads of tho United States, There are now 167,000 miles of railrond in this country, worth $10,000,000, 000 at least. How wre we going to acquire these ralroads! We have no right under the constitution to take anybody’'s proper without due compensation, We have no right under the constitution to take posses- sion of theserailroads until we have at least tendered the owners thereof the money just the same us railroads are “obliged to ‘tender you money in the exercise of the right of ominent domain when they go through your farm, But where are wo to get the £10,000,- 000,000 1o buy the railronds in the Unitea States! \Was this proposition to own and_ operate the railroads made in good faith, or is it merely plat- form materinll_There are now in the congress of tho United States at least thres senators that wera elected by the people’s party and something like a dozen in the house of representatives, 1 challenge any man within my hearing to namoe one bill or resaiution ever introduced by uny of tho people’s party representatives in coneross lovkivg to the acquisition of the railroads or \s of the United States. Not ono o step as beon taken by any one of them even to wquive as to how much thes railronds would cost, or for uny information by which we could get a ressonable idea S 1o wuat wo must do to become the vwuors of tho raidroads. No people’s purty cony man has taken the first step this year to in- vestigato the postal telegraph ‘bill, which simply proves beyond doubt the utter insin- cority of the men who advocate these r forms. They o not propose any practical measure either for tho purchise or tho coutrol of the railroads, but aro cortent to iusert in their platforins propositions that they know are utterly im- practical at this time. The republican party bas not attempted to ucquirve the railroads of the United States, but it has taven steps through Postmaster General Wanamaker, looking to the establishient of a postal tele- graph and if the independents in congress had taken any steps in that direction they would have received the aid of the postmas- ter gencral as well as of a large number of republicans in congress. The constitutivn of 1375, enacted by a con- vontion two-thirds republican, requires all railroad corporations to make aunual re- ports unaer oath to the auditor of stata of the amount received from passenzers and freignt in thisstato, v prohibits the legis lature from cxempting any railroad prop- crty or movabls roiling stoc from execution or sale. It prohibits the con solidation and pooling by ralrond com panies or telegraph companies. It declares all ralways beretofore constructed or hey aftor to be constructod in_this state publi highways, which shall ba free to all parties for the transportation of thew persons and property ander such regulations as may be prescribed by law, It empowers tne legisla- turo 1o estavlish rewsonablo maximum rates of charges for passengersand freight, and pronibits the legislature from limit- g the liabilities of railroad corpo- rations s common carriers. It provides that no railroad corporation shall Issue any stock or bonds, excopt for money, labor or property actually received and applied for the purpose for which such corporations were created, and all stoek, dividends and other fictitious increaso of the capital stock or indebtedness of auny such corporation shall be void. 1t provides fuvther that the legislature sholl pass 1aws to correct abuses and prevent unjust discrimination ana ex- tortion in charges by telegrapn, express and railroad companivs, and cuforee such laws by adeauate penalties, to the extent, if neces- sary, of the forfeiture of their property and franchise. Now, this is the basis of all rallroad regu- lation.' It was put there by a republican cotstitutional convention. I’artof it bas been carried into effect and part hus not been acted o, That aelating to the tolograph s in full eflect and as far as we are concerned we have as stringent a law regulating telographs as there is in any state in the union. We hav 4 passenger tariff limiting the charges to 3 cents per mile. This act was passed by n republican logislature. On ~ the freight chargds of railroads we have not gone so far. Wo might have a reduction of fréight rates during the present yearif the men elected by the independents had beea willing to have made a reasouable tariff rate. Newberry's Copy of Hall's Bill, You tell me that the ndeperdents have donoe their duty when they passed the New- berry bill, which was vetoed by our demo- cratic governor; that they have been pre- vented from giving the peovle the relief they wanted by the republicans and democrats in the legiclature, and that the republicans must be held respousible for the failure to enact a maximum freight law. 1 take it that most of you know New- verry ov bave heard of him. You think he is a gentleman of great iutelligence. The fact 1s he is as commonplace a fellow as you ever saw and could not expluin one sentence of that bill. He had no moreto do with framing 1t than any of you have. kis bill is nothing but a copy of & bill introduced 1n the preceding legisiuture by Judge Hall, of Lan- caster_county. 1L was copied by Attor- ney Sirickler of our town, The biil provides for a uriform rate all over the stato of Nebraska, whether the roads be main lies, or branck lines, or stub lines. The lowa rate is not fixed by law, but by a com- mission and makes @ distinction between the trunk lines that earn more than expensos and the branch lines that are sometimes runniug at a 10ss, I'he Newberry bill, in my judgment, was introduced solely for the purpose of making political capital for the independent party, T'oe coustitution of Nebraska gives the le islature power to estavlish & reasonablo maximum rate. Would it be reasonable to iix the lowest rate charged on the trunk lines of lowa for all the rairoads in Nebraska regardless of their earn- ings! lowa has mnearly double the population of Nebraska. Iowa hus twice the trafic and the railroads of lowa carry a greater part of the products of Neoraska to Chicago and bring back vast supplies of lumber, coal and merchaudise, which Ne- bruska is obliged to consume. Any law that would make no distinction between the rates of lowa ana Nebruska would be unrea- souable and would therefors be declared voi¢ by the suprewme court, When the Newberry bill was pending in the legislature thero were two other bills pending. One with a15 per cent decrouse from the [owa rato and the other with a maximum rate for the commod- ities that tho farmors buy and eell, provid- g for a2 per cent reduction ou vattie, grain, coal and salt, Everybody who bas read Tus OMaus Bee knows thal public attention was called by that paper to the facl that the governor would veto the Newberry bill, and also that be would sign a bill reducing the the rate on the heavy commonities, provid- ing the reduction was reasonable. In tho face of that the legislature passed this bill, and the independents, after 1t had been vetoed, would do notning else. The other dav I met Mr. Stevens of Furuas, who sup- ported the Newberry bill, and was oue of the eaders of the indépendents in the house, and he admittea that he koew Goyernor Boyd would bave signed either of the other two bills, but he said that he did not want to have them passed, because the supremo court would reject them any way. Did Not Want to Give § That was a mero subterfuge. The inde- peodent leaders in the legislature ouly wauted to make a record. They did not WAL L0 give the peoplo relief. [ kuow that was tho sontiment of their candidate for erndr, General Van Wyck. Noboay in is state rejoiced more thau he when the Nowbarey bill was vetoed and failod 1o pass over the veto. Nobody in Nebroska was more gratified over the failure of the legislature to zive any relief by reduced rallroad rates, Last spring wheu Governor Boyd was about to call the legisluture together, which I had per- anally urged bim to do, Lhere came o great many protests from all parts of the country, priucipally sent in by iwdependent members of the iast legisluture, They did not want the legislature couveneda. Governor Boyd's action in refusing to call the legislature was heartily epproved by General Van Wyck, for he wauted political capital in the present cawpaigu. He has boen more maxious to have grievaoces Lhun 1o give relief, He has peon wiliing o talk of ubuses, but prefers tet. lm have them' kept up from soar to year | 80 a8 to have the peonle in revoit.

But the independents said that they woula have their own usury bill or nothing, and thelastnightof the session the Shumway bill was called up, but Mr. Kider, the speaker, and half u dozen independent load- ers, wero down stairs in ono of the offices that had been converted into a little oil room and got glorionsly druuk of campagne while that bill was being read and put upon its passage, The bill failed, bécause thoy were not on hand to vote forit, How the Refo ers Reformed. Now, let us examine the reform legisla- ture and sce what good Nobraska has got from them. The independents made pledies of veform to the people, which sero chielly basod upon the idea that the republicans had been very extravagint: hao voted thousands of dollars of tho poople's money away on junketing trins, and has burdened the peovle with needless taxation. Kverybody natur- ally expected that the reform legisiature was gOin% to cut down the appropriations, and that wo wera to have retrenchmeut. They or- ganized the two houses, elected & speaker and the fivst thing they did was to ¢o into a acontest over the claim of governorship and pile up over $10,000 of expenses, squandering not bly thew own time but the people's money. Our friend, Dech, who 19now a candidate from this district, received $125 as his share of the contest expenses and then he quietly had ono of his own relatives piaced on the payroll ut day salary. When [ was a member we had to carry our own mml and wo had one postman and _one aeputy, This greut reform lecislature, which had ailits mail brovght to the doors of the cupitol by the governmont posial carriers, emploved four 0 in”the house and five iu the senato to bring up and distribute the mml. During tho war ono chaplain could distribuie tho mail for & wnole regiment. They had six or sevon sergeants-at-arms 1n eacn hou all of them drawing pay for watch- ng and stunding guard over each other. hen there were a number of juukets, and, whils three-fourtns of these retormers were ridlug on railroad passes, they charged up their mieage and exponses just the same as if thoy haa belonged to the old party. One of thess junkets was gotten up to see ROwW deep the waler was in Texas. |Laughter. | ‘Tuey brought back two barrels of ovsters for £450, and they wore so mean that they would not let a republican huveone, [Laugh ter.] Nobody was invited except the good independent ‘members, Two years azo the independent platform pledged the party to abrogate the peniten- tiary contract. 'They declaved that tho con- vict labor should bo let out by the state in a different manuer, but the contractor hap- pened somchow to get very well ac- Quain with the reform committee, ot onty tid they not repeal the cou- act, but they passed an appropriation of £10,000 to build a cell house, which the con- tractor was obliged to build at his own ex- pense. They proviaed that the cell house should be butlt, by dsy labor, so us to make the oxpense still greater. The state is pay- ing 40 cents u gay for keepiug these convicts, und then they turn’'round and pay the man who ‘ires these cou- victs for their services at the same rato as regular bricklaver gets, The independent legislature was very economieal. Thoy voted 31 0 to build an iron fence 'round the campus of the university when there was no need of any fence whatever. And how did they treat the drouth suf- fercrs. Although relief was immedintely wanted 10 the western part of the state, thev took something like three veeks, after tho legislature had convencd, before they wouid pass any veliof bill. v was very fortunate that many peopie did not perish by a blizzard that might have occurred at any time in January, while the legislature was fighting aver couteated seats. When they adjourned they had appro- priatea a grand total of §2.800,000, whicn was more by over $300,000 than the legislature of 1559 had voted. The legislaturo of 1857 voted $422,000 for public buildings, includiog asylums and univarsity eulargement, capitol complotion, ete; tho legislature of 1801 only voted $33,000 for public buildings and still their ap- propriation bills excesded by §250,000 the bills of 1357. Now 1 say do not send any wove such reformers to the legisiaturo. The best thing you can do 1s to let them stay at howmer Mr. Rosewater then concluded by paying ahigh eulogy to Harrison and Reid and the state ticket. —_——— GUOD BACING AT DAVENPORT.
