Qovernor William TLarrabee—"The Question," 1893, | The question might bo asked how the rail- Toad companies for many years in succession have been able to prevent state control and pursue a policy so detrimental to tho best intercst of the public. One might think that in a republic where the people are the sourco of all power and where all ofticers are airectly or indirectly selected by the people 10 carry out their wishesand to administer t1e government in their interest & coterie of men bent on pecuniary gain would not be permitted to subvert those-principlos ot the common law and public economy which from time immemorial huye been the recoguized anchors of the Anglo-Saxon race. The statement that under a free govern- ment it is possible for a few to suppress the ¢ might almost sound absuvd to a mon- archist, and yet it is true that for tho past twenty-five years the public affairs of the y kaye been unduly controlled by a few hundred railroad managers. To perpetuate without molestation their unjust practices, and prevent any approach 10 an assertion of the principle of state con- trol of railroad transportation, railroad man- agers have secured, wherever possible, the co-operation of public ofiicials, and in fact, of every semi-public and private agency ca- pable of affecting public opinion. Their great wealth ana power has made it possible for them to influence to a'greater or less ox- tent every department of the national and state governments, Their influence extends from the township assessor’'s ofice to the national capital, from the publisher of the small cross-roads paper to the editorial staft of the metropolitan daily. It isfeltin every caucus, in every nominating convention, ana at every election. Typical railroaa men draw no party lines, advocate no principles, and take little interest in any but their awn cause; they are, as Mr. Gould expressed it, democrats in democratic and republicans in vepublican districts. The large means at the command of \ruilroad companies, their favors, their vast army of employes and attorneys, and their almost equally large force of special retainers aro feeely em. ployed to carr{ into execution their political desigus, and the standard of ethics recog- nized by railroad managers in these exploits 1s an exceedingly low one, | Turning Down the Unfeiendly, 1t is a settled principle of these men that, 1f they can \zrn\-cm it, no person not known to be friendly to their cause must be placed into any public office where he might have an opportunity to aid or injure their inter- ests, The records of the various candidates of thowprincipal parties for oity, county, state and national offices are therefore care- fully canvassed provious to the primaries, the most accoptable among the candidates of cach party are selected as the railroad candidates, and the local representatives of the railroad interest in each party are in- structed to use all means in thew power to secure thelr nomination, If none but caudidates who are ile to the rallvoad interest are nominated by the ncival parties, the election is permitted take 1ts own course, for whichever side is successful the railroad interest is safe. 1f, however, there is reason to believe that a nominee is not as devoted Lo their interests the nominee of the opposiug party, the :uer is sure to receive at the polls wh I ver support railroad influence chu give Lim, Railroad o railroad manager is but too apt to become tool in his hands needs no proof. Hoth gratitude and fear tie the average politician to the powerful forces *vhich can control his political destiny. The railroaa manager, on the other hana, ndly remembers his office-holding 1ong as they ave loyal and in a ve him, Before the enact- interstate commerce act there y year o wholesale distribution of ailvead passes amow public office-holders and other prominent politicians, The pass was the token of the continued good will of the railvoad dignitaries, as the withholding rourte: vas a ain indication of asure. 1f the oftice-holder had litical friends whom he d o have recognized an intimation of th generally sufficient to have the » cven extended to them. avors were not bestowed indisc Thus the pass credit of a county re limited than that of an and the latter class were ccording to their influence and rank. IPurthermor hile annual were thus freely distributed among one of ofjeia's, others could obtain them only by making special appiication for them. Mem- bers of the legislature would not unfre- quently receive their supply of railroad passes beforo their certificates of election were issued, but legislative committee clerks and employés in the various departments of the state government were required to sat- isfy the railroad authorities thav they were in a position to aid or to injure the railroad cause beforo their names were placed on the list of persous “cntitled to the courtesy.” Corrupting the Courts, Of course the judiciary, as a co-ordinate branch of the government, could not well be slighted, Indeed, previous to the enactment of the interstate commerce law a~judge would ha regarded itas an afiront if he had not been furnished with passes by the various companies operating roads in his strict. It appears that the law has notv ted this abuse, for only about ars igo the Chicago News made the discovery that nearly every ju in the city of Uhicago led on passes. I is strange to what extent the pass often de- based the judiciary. It was not unfrequent for judges to solicit passes for families and friends, and instances might be named whero they demanded them in a wholesale Way. o impudent demands were usually hon- ored by the railroad authorities, who rea- soned that they could better afford to bear the shameless affrontery of the ermined ex- tortioner than the damage which might re- sult to them from adverse decisions. Ar d pass, when presented by a put- 1ic ofticial or even by any public man, is now, in nine cases out of ten, a certificate of dis- honor and a token of servility, and is so recognized by railroad officials, What equiva- lent railroad companies expect for the pass “eourtesy” is well illustrated by the experi- ence of an lowa judge. This gentleman, who had been on tho bench for years and always had been favored with passes by the yarious companies operating lines in his district, av the beginuing of a new year failed to re ve the customary pass from o leading road. Meeting its chief attorney he took occasion to call his attention to what he supposed to have been an oversight on the part of the officer charged with the distribution of passes. The attorney seemed to take in the situation at once. “Judge,” said he, “did you not recently decide an important case agamst our company?” *“And was my de- clsion,” replied the judge, “‘notin accordance with law as well as with justicet” The at- torney did ot answer this question, but in the course of a few days the judge received the desired pass. A few months later it again became the judge's unpleasant duty to render a decision adverse Lo the same com- I'his second act of judicial independ- s not forgiven, and the next time he presented his pass it'was unceremoniously taken up by the conductor in the presence of alarge uumber of passengers, and he was required to pay his fare, Plucking the Cash Traveler. Ewployes while engaged in the legitimate business of their compaules should, of course, be transported free, but a great many persous receive passes and are classed as employes who never render any legiti- mate s 03 for the company giving the pdss, aud by far the greater portion of the passes are not granted from pure mo- tives, but are glvea for the purpese of cor- mant of th y rupting their holders, It] arouses antago nism, because, as a rule, passes are given to people who are fully able to'pay their farve and are denied to those who are least able to pay it. The vassenger who pays his fare and then finds that alarge number of his fellow passengers travel on pusses realizes that he is compelled to pay a higher fare that others may be carried free. He feels that he is unjustly discriminated against, and wonders why such discrimination is tolerated in a country whose institutions are founded upon the very principle of equal rights to all, A good ancxdote s related which well 1llustrates this feeling. A farmer and a lawyer occupied the same seat in a railroad car. When the conductor came the farmer presented his ticket and the lawyer a pass. The farmer's features did not conceal his disgust when he found his seatmate was a dead head. The lawyer trying to assuage the indignation of the observing granger said to him: *‘My friend, you trayel very cheaply on this road.” *1 think so myself,” veplied the farmer, sidering the fact that 1 have to pay fare for both of us.” But what must bea passenger's surprise when he finds that the judge, who ‘tomorrow is to preside at the trial of a case’ in which the railroad company1s a party, today ac- cepts free transportation at its handst A judge may scorn the charge that he is influ- enced by a railroad pass, but his fellow pass- enger, who has paid his fare, cannot under- stand why the railroad company should give passes to one class of people and refuse them 1o others, if it does not consider one more than others to be in a position to reciprocate its favors. In their endeavor to win over the courts, however, tho railroads do by no means con- fine their attention to the judges. They are well aware that a biased jury is often more useful than a biased judge, ana efforts are made by them to contaminate juries, or at least prejudice them in their favor. A prominent lowa attornoy, the legal and political factotum of a large railroad corpora- tion, for years made it a practice to supply jurors with passes. In one instance, when it was shown in court by the opposing counsel that all jurors in the case on trial had ac- cepted passes from thé railroad company, which was the defendant in the case, the judge found himself compeiled to discharge the whole jury. ¥he argument made by this counsel, in support of his motion that the jury be discharged, was certainly to tho point. He showed that in order to have an equal chance for justico it would be neces- sary for his client to give each juror atleast $0° to offset the bribe given them by the railroad company. Stalulug the Ermine, That 1t has always been the policy of rail- road managers to propitiate the judiciary is a fact too generally known umong public men to admit of contradiction. 1f a judge owes his nomination or election to railroad influences railroad managers feel that they have in this o guaranty of loyalty. If, how- ever, he acquires the ermine in spite of rail- road opposition, every effort is made to con- ciliate the new dispenser of the law: The vestowal of unusual fayors, flattery. simu- lated friendship and a thousand other strat- egies are brought into requisition to capture the wayward jurist, 1f he proves docile, it his decisions improve with time and show a gradual appreciation of the particular sacredness of corporate rights, the railroad manager will ever forgive him his former heresy and rally to his support in the future. But if he asserts his convictions, if he at- tempts to discharge the dyties of his re- fice without fear or favor, if he ther be corrupted or Intimidated, all available railroad forces will be marshaled against him in the future. Tt cannot be surprising that, under such circumstances, there always has been a ten- dency among Judges to be conservative and to give the railroads the benefit of the doubt in their decisions. Judges well know that railroad companies appeal almost inva- riably when the decision of a lower court is adverse to them, but private citizens only in exceptional cases. They also kuow that rajlroads never forglve adverse decisions, whether right or wrong, while private citi- zeus, as & rule, accept the decision of the court as justice, and do not hold the judge résponsible for its being adverse to them. Our judiciary is, and probably always has been, as incorruptible as the judiciary of any country in the world, but our judges are made of no better material than our legisla- tive or executive oficers. Weak men inall stations are iufluenced \,{ wealth and power, and weak judges can always be found who W1 soll be led or forced from the path of duty m long as -corrupt men are permitted to sjunage railroads and_to remain in posses- aonof a power only inferior to thatof an utocratic ruler. The Evil Widespread. The influence which railroads exert ex- tend from the lowest to the.highdst court in the land. Federal courts have more than once been successfully appealed to +1o give legal sanction to the perpetuation of gigan- tic frauds, or frustrate attempts made by the individual states to place restrictions upon rouds operated within their respective borders, Twenty years ago a federal judge aided Mr, Gould 1n his notorious Krie trans- actions, and in moro recent years a federal circuit judge in the west threw the property of the Wabash Ruilroad company, upon the application of its own divectors, into the hands of receivers selected by its former managers, without the knowledge or notice of its creditors, and issued orders for the gement of the property which greatly riminated in favor of certain bond- and were so manifestly unjust that Judge Gresham, before whom the case was subsequently brought, did not hesitate to say to them that ‘‘the boldness of this scheme to aid the purchasing committee, by denying equal rights to all bondholders cured by the same mortgages, is equaled only by its injustice.” At the same time one of the counsel for the dissenting bond- holders characterized these strange orders as “the highwayman’s clutch on our throat, the robber's demand, ‘your money or your (=] s of cach and n the construction of a United hip are computed before starting of them. Such a great volume of computation i8 too much for the brain. Formerly much of it was performed on mi- chines made in Europe, but now 95 per cent of it 13 computed on comptometers, invented by Dorr E. IPelt of Chicago, who is less than 80 years old. The addiog and other caleula- tions in many of the accounting departments of the government are done in this manner, ——— WEATHEL RULES, Never lean with the back upon any- thing that is cold. Nover begina journey until the break- fast has been eaten, Never take warm drinks and then im- mediately go out into the cold. Keep the back, especially between the shoulder blades, well covered; also the chest well protected. In sleeping ina cold room establish a habit of breatling through the nose and never with thesmouth open, Never go tolbed with cold or damp feet., Never omit regular bathing, for unless the skimis 1n active condition the cold will close the pores and favor con- gestion and other diseases. After exereise of any kind never ride in an open carriage or near the window of a car for amoment; it is dangerous to health or evendife. When hoarssspeak aslittle as possible until the hoamseness is recovered from, elge the voicemay be permanently lost, or difliculties af the throat be produced. Merely warm the back by the fire, and never continue keeping the back ex- posed to the heatalter it has become com- ortably warm. To do otherwise is de- bilitating. When going from & warm atmosphere into & cooler one, keep the mouth closed, $0 that the air may be warmed in its passage through the nose befora it reaches the lungs, Never stand stlll in cold weather, es- pecially after having taken a slight degree of exercise, and always avoid standing on ice or snow, or where the person is exposed to cold wind. e CoLD Carbonic acid s largely used in cham- pagne, It is excellent for bowel complaints.

SOME GOOD THINGS PROMI3ED LATER ON The Apollo Club's Eleventh Annual Season Opens In December—Plans of Other Or- ganizatlons—Success of the Opera es- tival Schovl—In & Minor Key. Here 1t is past the middle of November, late enough inithe season for dozen musical events to have occurred, and the lovers of heard melody, “in second childish- ness and mebe oblivion,” ave sans concert, sans oratorio, suns symphony, sans every- thing. Lot Calypso twang her golden lyre, let Orpheus atvune his harp to the music of the spheres, let Paddy beat the drum—let anything happen that can arouse a little interest in an art that ought to command at- tention at this time of year, Music is a tire thatneods at least an annual replenishing to keep it from dying out of the hearts of the multitude, Whether the present inactivity s wholly used by the hard times, the disinterested- ness of the public or the priggish exclusiye- ness of the musicians themsetves is not casily decermined, but it is certain that the latter cause is not the least of tho three, The devotees of the art e too painfully self-sufficient, If they will kindly excuse the hoi polloi for living, lay aside their halos and get down on the earth for a while the is no doubt that the people would fall over one another in an effort to bestow upon them theiv choicest bouquets, . *u Taying aside vain regrets over what might have been done thus far if circumstances had been otherwise, there is some consolation to be derived from the assurance that good things ave in store for the future. The Stryken-Blast-Lust club will render a pro- gram of orchestral music the second week in Decemboer, the Apollo club inaugurates its eleventh season December 18, Measrs, Gahm and Albert have in preparation & series of chambver music concerts, the Harmony club contemplates giving another entertainment, several of the quartets and smaller organiza- tions ure gowng to be heard from, and later in the year the Opera IPestival school will bring to Omaha the Tavary € nd English Opera company. With all of these it is probable that the season will not ba as bril- lant as others have been in late years, but taking everything into consideration, the music lovers will get as good entertainment as could be expected. A number of good singers and instrumentalists taking private instructions, are not connected with any of ihe musical organizations and will not be heard in public—a circumstance that ren- ders it impossible for concerts in Omaha to be as good as they might b, The Stryken-Blast'Lust club, under the leadership of Prof. Charles Baetens, will give & pubhic rehearsal at Ford & Charlton's the second week in December. A isplendid program of orchestral music, instrumental and vocal solos is being arranged. If the musical taste of Omaha is to be advanced in sny considerable degree il must come o o great extent through the development of Orchestral music, and, realizing this, the members of the Stryken-Blast-Lust club are enthusistically devoted to their work. The club, us organized for this season, is com- posed of the following members: ' Violins— Misses Darlene Coo, Emma Balbach, Gen- i 1da Leland and Clara Cham berlain, Rutter, Mahioney Olur Norwall, ~Arthur Werner, Emil Karbach, Charles McConnell, Mary' Browu, John Brown, Arthur Shields, ~Eddie Urbach and My, McNitt: viola, sErnest Zi an; double bass, Willlam Wolf; flutes, Goorge * Karbach aud Captain Worden clarionet, Arthur Kavbach; coraet, Perry Irances Ba Those who have in” Liapd the affairs of the Apollo club havenot yet fully matured plans for the coming subscrivtion concert season, A definite announcement will brobably be fortheoming this weel.
