The Effect of Pro-ratum.
Denyer News. June 9Th.

Denver News, June 4th.
1t seems to be tOlerably certain
that the bills compelling the Pacific
roads to pro-rate, will become laws.
The effect that this legislation will
have upon Colorado railway inter-
ests, is worthy of a moments con-
sideration. The law not only opens
the Union Pacific to the Kansas
and Denver Pacific, but also opens
the Denver Pacific to the
Union Pacific-in reality COM
polling by law the pro-
position which the Kansas Pacific
has for years been offering to the
Union Pacific. Under the new law
the present prohibitory tariff Oh the
Denver Pacific will give way to a
pro-rata ; and such being the case,
it becomes an interesting inquiry rs
to whether the Union Pacific will
complete the ~Julesburg branch of
the Colorado Central. Their
principal motive i'm constructing
this road was to secure the Colorado
trade,-will they do SO now in view
of the fact, that they are bound to
receive a living rate on the Denver
Pacific? 1t is well known that the
Colorado Central is a creature of the
"Boston interest," in the Union Pa
cific, which party just now is under
a cloud,-Mr. Dillon being of the
New York party. If, under the pro-
posed law, the Kansas and Union
Pacific companies came to agree
ment, it is not improbable that the
Colorado Central rails may never
extend further than Evans or Gree
ley. In this event, the great Platte
valley would be left open far the
Burlington & Missouri company
which has its eyes fixed lOngingly
OH Denver and Colorado.

State Fair.

The State Fair to he held i'm Oma-
ha should he made a matter of in.
terest to every citizen Of our county.
The Gee of these expositiOns, of
course depends upon the manner I'm
which we view the important sub
ject. The mere item of gaining a
prize is only of minor importance,
as the subject should be looked upon
as one, that if rightly conducted
will faithfully represent our
productions, i'm fact will be
the state in miniature. Burt should
be represented by all means, and
our citizens should prepare for the
occasion, as by proper representa-
ton We shall advertise the resources
of our county as it a be done in
no other way. But this should not
be the sole object; the State fair
should receive encouragement from
all, for the reaso that for the first
time in our history as a State has
an effort been made toward
consolidating our mutual interests
or bringing about anything like q
q fraternal feeling between the pre-
viously divided sections, We hail
with pleasure this as q prelude to
better things still in store for us.
Let us work unitedly for so worthy
an object, throw selfishness to the
dogs, and our jealousies to the winds
and unitedly determine on the sue
cess of our State exposition.-Bur-

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.
Brigadier General Welch Takes
the Field.
West Point Republican, June G

Now that the time is fast APP
preaching when a Republican con-
vention will be called for the pur-
pose of nominating a member of
Congress, a Governor, and other
State officers, it is proper for the
people and the press to look about
them and fix upon good, competent
and worthy men for the several i'm
portant positions.
There seems to be q studied silence
on the part of the Republican State
press in regard to the matter, the
policy apparently being to let events
shape themselves, or in other words
to allow the nominations to be made
on the spur of the moment when
the convention shall have assem-
bled. In our opinion this is
all wrong. The man whom the
next Republican Convention nomi-
nate, will, in all probability, preside
over the State the two years follow
ing; how important, then, that the
best and ablest men i'm the Republic
can party be placed in nomination.
If the people and the press sit with
folded hands, making no sugges-
tons, expressing no choice, and
avoid discussing the merits and de-
merits of the respective aspirants
for the various positions until the
very day of the Convention, can the
delegates act Understandings, and
intelligibly? 1t appears to us that
they cannot.
We suggest that the republican
press of this State, after having con-
suited with the intelligent republic
cans of their county or district, and
learned their choice of candidates
for any of the offices, to give their
names to the public, that their abil-
ity, integrity and eligibility to Off
ces i'm connection with which they
are named, may be thoroughly dis
cussed and acted upon in a manner
with investigation. Don't
wait for instructions from any par
clique or ring, nor fear
that your action may be by them
condemned, but speak out fearless
~, that the interests Of the republi-
can party and the State of Nebras-
ka may be subserved, by having
and worthy men nom;.
mated and elected.
We believe it a bad policy to
and not practice the senti-
.ent of the sermon, hence we will
demonstrate that We are in earnest
Omaha daily bee., 1874-06-10

and believe III suggestions correct,
by adopting the course which we
counsel our brother editors to pur-
sue.
We nominate-subject to the &C
ton of the Republican State Con-
vention-Hon. Frank Welch, OF
Norfolk, for the candidate for Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket at
the coming election. We nominate
him not only as q own individual
choice, butas the choice of hundreds
of people in Northern and Western
Nebraska, believing him to be a
man eminently fitted for the high
and important Office for which we
haze named him; a man Of requi-
site ability, of unimpeachable honor,
and great firmness of character.
Mr.. Welch has been q resident OF
Nebraska for seventeen or eighteen
years, during which time he has
been thoroughly and Enthusiastically
identified with the Republican
party, and with the progress and
development of the State. bis
acquaintance with the citizens OF
Nebraska is extensive, and so well
is he known that it is unnecessary
for us, at this time, to speak at
length of his abilities, or give a
history of his life in Nebraska.
And now that we have opened
the "ball," we trust the press will
thoroughly dissect u candidate,
and if there is aught in his past pub
lie or private life that disqualifies
him, or makes it impOlitic to nOmi-
nate him, now is the time to make
it known. We trust, also, that 9TH
er candidates thought of may be
brought forward, and their merits
and dement's also discussed, that
the Republicans Of Nebraska may
decide advisedly who they desire
to place in nomination as a
candidate for the gubernatorial
chair

OUR Democratic contemporary
asserts that all the Germans and a
large proportion ofAmericans would
never tolerate the admission of col
ored children into public schools
where white children are taught.
How about Omaha? Our colored
schools were abolished two years
ago under the new school law.
Will the Herald name any Ger
man or American citizen of Omaha
whose children were Withdrawn
from our public schools on account
of this change? Have any of the
aristocratic youths who attend the
Omaha High School abandoned that
institution when young Curry was
placed on an equal footing with
them?
Omaha daily bee., 1874-06-10

CONTRARY to the ominous predic-
tons of leading eastern papers, the
bill for the admission of Colorado
passed the lower House of Congress
by almost the same majority that
was given there two weeks ago to
the bill admitting New Mexico.
And now these twin sisters will
have to pass through the ordeal
In the Senate.
From all Indications that body is
not disposed to look very favorably
upon the admission of new States,
especially when their population is
below the minimum number of
congressional representation. The
admission of these territories would
merely transform the two delegates
in the House to full-fledged mem
bership, but in the Senate the four
Senators of Colorado and New
Mexico would equal in voting
mower the four Senators from New
York and Pennsylvania.
True, Nevada and Nebraska were
admitted without the requisite
population, but their admission was
mainly due to a desire ON the part
of the Republicans, to secure the
adoption of the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth amendments to the con-
Such pressure does not
exist now, and even If the Republic
can party was positively certain OF
electing four additional Senators,
they could have no issuance that
the legislatures of 1878 and lSso,
would elect Republicans to succeed
hem For this reason the admission
J. this time of eitherof these terrific
les, Is exceedingly doubtful.

The campaign of 1874 may
now be considered as virtually
opened. The first gun was fired by
Brigadier General Welch from his
West Point howitzer. The General
boldly enters the lists and throws
down the gauntlet to his COMPETE
tors.
Having no special pets of its own
the BEE proposes to afford all the
combatants a fair opportunity to lay
their claims before the people, re-
serving to itself the prerogative to
cricise or commend. Gen. Welch
deserves some credit for starting out
early, and thus exposing himself to
the masked batteries of invisible
enemies. We prefer not to discuss
the merits of his claims until we
shall know something more about
those of his competitors.

FROM the New York Herald of

will consider the subject of interna-

portance, and if it can be salts

What has Been Done.

That our people may understand
what results have been accomplished
by our coup detat of the l4th Sep
TENDER, we propose to give them ex-
tracts from leading Republican and
Conservative journals in the North ;
a careful perusal of which will con.
vince US of two facts. First that tho
overthrow Of the Kellogg usurpation
did not furnish to our political oppo-
nents in the North murderous capital,
to ride into power upon. We could
not be howlcd at as rebels and cut.
Threats, bent upon the murder Of ne
groes and Republicans.
Second, that the matter Of recon.
struction must be attended to, and
although they will not 80 back upon
what they have done, tho North will
have to preserve herself from tie erils
"nder rhich zoe labor, to qualify suf.
frage in some way, either with an
educational or property requisite, aud
that speedily.
Have We not then done good, not
only to ourselves but to the whole
Union, in this movement, in which
besides overtbrowiug q corrupt and
villainous usurpation, thereby show.
ing toIthe world that this Kellogg
government was not the choice of our
people; We have awakened the pub.
lie mind of the whole confederation
to the study Of the startling fact, of
their being made soon to feel all the
horrors attending the practical illus
tration of the theory of Universal
suffrage. That it is no love for us,
no pity for our suferings, that has
brought this about, we are ready to
aver-but they begin to see that this
canker cannot be confined to as for all
time, but is surely and speedily eat
ing into the very heart Of the Repub.
lican structure.
Let Us then not mar the vantage
gained by any movement calculated
either to, throw discredit upon our
past acts, or compromise one inch Of
our position effected with the loss Of
so much time and treasure, aud the
shedding Of so much patriotic blood.
Hold on then, Fellow. citizens, "the
even tenor Of Our way" disturbing
the rights Of no man, nor suffering any
one to disturb ours. Let every man
who holds himself worthy of the name
Of freeman, REGISTER AND VOTE and
our success is beyond adventure.

RECONSTRUCTION OFsOCIETY

1t is not surprising to learn that some
alarm has been caused by the recent decla.
rations of multitudes Of workingmen in
favor of reconstruction of society. A
single gathering of hungry people in a
great city for the purpose of denouncing
property and avowing communist theories,
might, it is said, mean little, and need
cause no anxiety; whereas successive
meetings OF the kind seem to imply some
thing like systematic warfare on estab-
lished institutions. No one will pre-
tend that the proceedings referred
to are agreeable or cheering phe-
nomena. Irrespective of the want and
various suffering in which these move
ments originate, they seem painfully pre-
mature, indicating the presence Of condi-
tons which most Americans have been
accustomed to fancy far away in the fu-
tufe from their actual social state. We
do not, however, believe that at present
they afford any sufficient ground for alarm
or anxiety. Perhaps, indeed, they ought
rather to be looked upon as practical
warnings, received long beforehand, of
perils which lie in our forward path, and
against which there is still abundant time
to provide safeguards. They are not the
legitimate ontgrowth OF American cond;-
tons.

THERE are, in the lower branch of Con-
gross, number Of members whose reputa-
lions are as yet only provincial, but who
possess fine abilities and large attainments,
and are capable of achieving general dis
tinction. If these shall have the wisdom
to recognize the new wants of the people,
to discern the great practical questions Of
the time, and to devote themselves earn
estly and faithfully thereto, they will
win the confidence and regard of the
entire country. We have now fallen
upon times which must witness the be-
ginning of the solution Of economic, social,
and political problems of perhaps greater
import to the Republic and to mankind
than even those which were solved by the
war, and by its results in legislation. The
Improvement of the age, the progress OF
the whole people in knowledge, the wonder.
full advance made in all the mechanic arts
and the means and appliances of trade
and commerce, demand craftsmanship as
different from that which has heretofore
been exercised in public affairs as can easily
be imagined. The time waits for its
leader. Who is he to be?
