ever settled the issues that divided
the country since the rebellion If lssi.
The decree has gone forth that tim. Is a
nation and no a mere cunfedsracy ot
states. Resumption Is an accomplish.

gold dollar. The national cre,i,, i. on
a solid basis and all financial .
imenting Is AT an end. The over
shadowmg issue of the future is the
issue between the railroads and the
people.
Shall corporation kings rule free
America Shall railway monopolie-
dictate the laws made by our national
and state legislatures and interpret
them through yenal judges ofthcir own
choice? Shall the giant corporations

lands and bonds, exercise their power.
pass laws for their self-proiection, and
say to these arrogant monopolles, thus
far you can 90 and no farther.
In the coming irrepressible conflict
between the people and the railroads
the people are bound To win in the end.
What they now need Is able and fear
less opponents of their rights. Such a
champion they will find III the OMAHA
BEE. \ Republican paper that has
courageOusly and consistently adyo-
Gated railway regulation for years, and
to-day stands almost alone as a barrier
To the arrogant dictation of jay Gould
IN Nebraska politics; u paper that has
always opposed favoritism and discri-
mination by public carriers and rcsis-
ted every attempt of corporations to
evade their just share of the burdens Of
taxation; a paper that has never finch
ed from exposing and denouncing job
berry and cOrruptions wherever il
exists.
The battle has only just begun. The
preliminary skirmish will take place In
the next legislature.
The movement for emancipation
from the mis- rule of corporation kings
has just been started by sturdy farmers
in South-W estern Nebraska whose call
for organization is the buglc blast Ina,
will ere long rally the producer around
one common standard. To those who
sympathise with this movement and
all who desire to he enlightened about
every other living issue, the OMAHA
BEE cannot fail to commend itself.
The fact that the circulation Of the
BEE is larger than that Of any paper
north Of st. Louis and west of Chicago,
is the best testimonial Of its excellence
as a newspaper, and the fact that THE
BEE is circulated and %patronized more
extensively in Omaha-the stronghold
| Of the Union Pacific-than all its rivals
combined attest sufficiently the popu.
ar confidence it enjoys where its aims
Are best known, and where its efforts
on behalf Of the producing and indus
trial classes are most appreciated.
In order To extend the circulation oil
the WEEKLY BEE, the publishers have
placed a large number of useful and
valuable articles on their premium list
which are to be distributed among
their subscribers in the same impartial
manner that characterized their first
premium d~istrin;..ion last winter. The
aggregate value of Theses premiums -
over $4,000. Among these articles
are agricultural machinery, nipple
Ments, household goods, musical in
strun:ents silverware, watches, jewelry,
books, &c.
