CoRNERING A CONDUCTOR.
An Eye Witness Narrates How JUS
ticc was Done Quickly on
a Flying Train.

A short time ago THE BEE made public
a rather sensational incident about the
manner in which a Union Pacific conduc-
tor was thwarted in his attempt to intim-
idate a passenger. Mr.. +. A. Stevens,
who is doing missionary work in this part
of the country in behalf of liberalism and
The Radical Review, of Chicago, was an
eye witness to the transaction, and thus
describes it in correspondence to his
paper:
son Saturday evening last, when crossing
on the Union Pacific transfer from Omaha
t. Council Bluffs, l noticed the conduc-
tor having a controversy with a poorly
clad, but honest appearing young IN
evidently a day laborer-sbout his ticket;
or l should say, the change he had re-
ceived with his ticket. The conductor
claimed that the Omaha ticket agent had
given the party holding that ticket 81
too much. The young man told tho
amount he had received, which was just
what he was entitled to, and said the
ticket agent must be mistaken, and had
given the dollar to some one else. With
the air of an autocrat, his mightiness,
the conductor, pocketed the ticket
and informed the young fell
low that he. should not have the ticket
until he gave him the dollar. The ticket
was good for quite a distance, as there
were a number of coupons attached. AS
the conductor walked off with the ticket
l remarked aloud-''that was a mighty
high-handed procedure-a regular rob
berry" A little, nervous, intelligent
looking gentleman, who during this con-
tretemps had been busily engaged in con-
versation with a friend, turned hastily
around and asked what was the matter.
l explained. He jumped up with indig-
nation, Intercepted the young fellow,
asked the names of the witnesses, and
several of us handed our cards, and then
wanted a blank sheet of paper, which
l readily furnished. His friend hastily
wrote until a formidable looking docu-
ment was made out. The first party
turned out to be W. r. Vaughan, justice
of the peace and ex-mayor of Council
Bluffs, and his friend the deputy sheriff.
Mr.. Conductor returned, and finding that
he had put his foot in it, wished to coax
the young fellow off into another car,
but he was told not to stir. When
the train arrived at Council Bluffs
and the deputy sheriff was making
out a constable's warrant to arrest
the conductor for highway robbery, he
forced the ticket on the young fellow
and thus escaped an ugly case. Had no
loud protest been made this outrage
would undoubtedly have been per.
petrated. There is too much of the
spirit of submission abroad after sub
mission of such things becomethe custom,
and custom soon becomes law. You can
imagine that l rejoiced exceedingly to
know that there was law enough left to
reach a conductor, even of the U. P.
road, and a justice with backbone to
administer it. Generally that vast cor.
poration rules with despotic sway every.
thing in that vicinity.

The Beater Beaten.


,hhAs
A farmer came into a grocery store the
other day and exhibited to the eyes of an
admiring crowd an enormous egg, about
six inches long, which he avowed to have
been laid by one of his own hens. He
had it packed in cotton, and wouldn't
allow anyone to handle it for fear OF
breaking the phenomenon. The grocery
man examined it among the rest and, in
tending to chatf the the countryman,
said:
"Pshaw! I've got something in the
egg line that will beat that"
"Ill bet you So you haven't" said the
countryman, getting excited.
Take it up" replied the groceryman,
and going behind the counter he brought
out a wire egg-beater. ''There is some
thing in the egg line that will beat it, ]
guess" said he, reaching out for the
stakes.
"Hold on there" said the farmer;

WINDOWS Big scheme.

Ex-senator Window, having providen-
italy failed to secure a reelection, now
has time to devote himself fully to the
great work of pushing to completion the
Texas. TopOlObampO and Pacific Railroad,
OF which he is President. From a pros
pectus lately issued it is learned that the
concession for this new line was obtained
from the Mexican Government in June,
1881. 1t is TO run from TOpOlObampO bay,
on the Gulf of California, to Piedras Ne
gras, on the Rio Grande. 1t is entitled to
a subsidy of $S,O64 per mile. 1t traverses
the richest mining region of Mexico. 1t
Is designed to make connections at the
Rio Grande with lines running east
through Texas, so as to form a short trans
continental trunk line supplementing the
railway system of the Mississippi
valley and connecting the Gulf of
California with the Gulf Of Mexico
at Galveston, and with the Attain
tic coast at Fernandina and Bruins
wick. The Importance of this new line,
which, if completed, will be operated
under the name of the American and
Mexican Pacific Railroad Company, is in
dictated by the statement that every one of
our Atlantic ports from Portland, Me-, to
the southern extremity of Florida; each
and every one of our Gulf ports; each and
every city of the Mississippi valley south
Of Wisconsin is nearer the Pacific Ocean
az Topolobampo than at San Diego, san
Francisco or Portland, Ore, the respec-
tive teTmini Of the other Pacific roads. 1t
Is therefore heralded as the natural short
trunk line to the Pacific for roads leading
from st. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville,
Memphis. Nashville, Norfolk and all
Southern cities. The distance from New
York to the Pacific will be shortened $50
miles, and from st. Louis to the Pacific

s.The Democratic managers cannot
swindle the people" remarks the New
York Herald. This is a fact that the De
mOcratic managers would do well to pom
der over. The outlook for Democratic
victory in 1881 is cheering in the
extreme. The Republican party mas IN
yited defeat. and does not promise as yet
10 be in fighting trim for the contest next
wear. The main reliance Of the Republic
cans Is upon the expectation that their
opuonents will blunder and ALLEVIATE
the masses who trust them at present. The
Republican organs are busily engaged
in rendering counsel as TO what the Dem
ocrats should and should not do.
To their view it would be the height of
wisdom for the Democrats to elect Mr..
Randall Speaker Of the next House, and
regard the last tariff bill as final settle
ment OF the yexed question Of taxation.
Democratic journals here and there ac-
cept these Oracular deliverances Of the
Radical organs and discourage anything
like a courageous stand on the part OF the
Democrats for their principles. 50 too
with the ridiculous civil service reform
professions Of the administration.
We are gravely told that the
experiment must be tried and
that unfriendly criticism of the commits
sion will work harm. Democratic lead
ers here and there. who fear that an open
adherence TO their principles may re-
dound 10 their PERSONAL disadvantage, are
advising the party Ito 90 slow and.
..vait till we get there" and not to alarm
business interests.
Thus it is. and Democratic journals
taking their cue from these weakened
representatives. are playing into the
hands Of the enemy day by day. While
it Is true that much Will depend upon the
conduct Of the Democrats in the next
Congress. it Is clear that unless they come
to their work with courage and knOwl-
edge Of what is required of them, they
cannot accomplish anything that will
work to the advantage of their
party. The Republican party is in
bad straits: it was never worse sit
Uated. but the Democracy Will be little
better of. If a change is not made in par
" management. The time has come for
the Democracy to prepare itself for its
work; union, harmony. courage and
honesty are required. The people cannot
Dee fooled. and this fact may as well be
realized at once.

No Use for Reporters.

Springfield Republican IND. Rep.
Samuel j. Tilden has more political sa-
gacity than all the Democratic party be-
side, but he has formally withdrawn his
name from consideration for the Presi-
dency and withdrawn to private life, and
it is little less than indecent to pur-
sue him, as the New York newspapers do,
with reporters who testify, after an hour
of vain endeavOr to get an opinion out of
him, that the ''tremble in his right hand
is less than formerly" and his voice,
Though not so strong as when he was
Governor, was perceptibly stronger than
a year ago." Mr.. Tilden was once elected
President and cheated out of it; now he
may counsel statesmen, but he has moth
ing to gain by contiding to reporters.
