The Omaha tNebraska) Republican begins
an article in this way: "On the west bank
of the Missouri river, like a schoolboy dang
ling his feet in mud puddle, sits the city
of Omaha. She holds the gateway to the
Pacific coast and the agricultural lands this
side the slope that are tributary for sup
plies. There are nearly 10000 people cnas-
ing dollars in the corporation, and yet
everybody has a chance to turn an honest
penny" And then it goes on to show the
necessity for sidewalks

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Saturday evenings Pieagnse contains an
editorial attempting to bully and bro" beat
the legal profession of this city and force
them, by fear of ostracism, TO refrain from
an expression of their opinion upon a mat
ter of law and practice.
Is the Picayuas afraid that the action OF
Judge Durell would be sustained by the
bar that it thus seeks by threats to influence
a verdict 1t looks 50. am not aware tha'
Judge purell has sought any such indorse'

threats Of the Picdyitns. ] believe there are
a great many Of our best lawyers who
will not DO unworthy things in Difference to
Democratic prejudice. and who would con
cur in the legality OF Judge DurelPs action
in the matter. 1t would be interesting to
know how many Of onr leading lawyers
looking at the question in its purely legal
aspect, would refuse to sanction his deci'

Do Our Merchants Want a Railr0adl

Ne have takra occasion ia several Issues TO
call attention to the fact. that the prosperity
OF the beaumont Transportation Company,
WAS further postpourncnt OF tic completion
of the l. x. d F.S.R,R.t to IT. Smith We csound-
ed this alarm as soon as this company began
operations aud predicted that IL meant long
delay at Ciarksvlle. In this prediction, we
we're correct aud are fully born out by the
sub.eouent history of the road. One dollar
and fifteen cents per hundred tor GU miles, IS
much better than can be done by rail. There
i. but a lthe of the capital invested, and the
expense of running the wagon line Is tfihe
compared with the running of raiiroao
train. We have also said and now repeat That
IL il in the power of cur merchants to stop
the running Of this Transportion Company
and they ought 20 do IL. lfthey will ship only
nv Ncosho for two months. the work will be-
yin on the l.. K, & r. ). Railroad. This out
rageons monopoly can be thus broken down
and the com pany will see that the road must
De completed as it will then not pay running
expenses. Curry, Oliver, Page and Com
pany are all Interested in the transportation
Company and 1t is too good thihg 10 be
abandoned, so loag AS the merchants OF this
town and Fort Smith will patronize IT, Let
.ur merchants demonstrate to the people
that they are alive to the general good ot the
whole people, and are Ia favor of the compile
ton Of the railroad now stopping at Clarks-
willie, by at once Withdrawing all patronage
from this monopoly.

The Convention Howlsrs.

Since the resignation Of three democratic
members of the legislature, Messrs. Thrower
Parish and Thornburg. the two latter being
Baxter Democrats, we have not heard word
from tho organ of the conventionists, which
promised to see to 1t that certain republican
members resigned Not one OF them has sent
IN his resignation. And right here we want
to say to the democratic members to hold on.
Wait for at least one republican to send In his
resignation. Poker Jack seems to be going
back on the reform committee, and on his
own proposition. We were satisfied from the
first that he was opposed to convention. We
have at our disposal the resignation Of one or
two more democratic members. ready to be
handed to the governor whenever we see the
resignation Of some Of p. Jacks friends. They
seem, however, to rally to L. Jacks call In
the same manner the people responded to tho
address Of the reform central committee. A
further proof that +. Jack is opposed to a
convention Wednesdays Republican stated
he would continue to hold the position Of
chief justice until the end Of the term. and
everybody knows IL We had q convention l..
J. would not be chief justice long Gazette
