Nebraska like Colorado is regarded
by the railway corporations as a fitting
field for the exercise of the arts by
which they are often enabled to defeat
the will and defy the wishes of the peo-
pie in politics. In both states the re-
publican party is in the majority and in
both the corporations are striving to
use the party machinery for the accom-
plishment OF their designs. This is an
old trick OF the railroad
politicians. Jay Gould once said
on the witness stand when being
questioned regarding his interference
in politics while engaged in robbiug the
Erie railway: '1n q republican district,
| was n republican; in a democratic dis
trict, | was u democrat; but at all times
l was an Erie man." But like the peo-
pie of Colorado, the people of Nebraska
are growing very FESTIVE under railroad
rule, and unless the better element of
the republican party has the sense
and the courage to drive the
corporation tools out of power,
n revolution is imminent that
well as the railroads. The sensible
thing for the honest and intelligent re-
publicans of both states to do is to band
together for the purpose of securing
the nomination and election of officials
who will be faithful %servitors of the
people rather than subservient tools of
the corporations. They have the
power and it is their duty to do this.
1t will cost some effort but the gain will
far outweigh the cost. The railroads
are useful as means of traffic, but
they have nj right to NEEDLE
in politics and their candidates
should be defeated by the people in
self-defense. There is no disposition in
this country to do any injustice to the
corporations Or to take from them my
thing which rightfully belongs to them.
But they have no right to attempt to
control the government and they must
not be permitted to do it. Their tools
cannot be trusted to serve the people
faithfully either in congress or in the
state legislature or in any other official
position, and they should be over
whelmingly defeated whenever they
appear as candidates for office.

The last campaign and election in
Louisiana had several features of inter-
est that attracted the attention of the
country. In the first place there was
tho bitter fight between the Nichols
and McEnery factions, which promised
at the outset TO give the state to the
republicans on q full vote and fair
count, which McEnery gave his solemn
pledge should not be prevented by any
OF the devices which the democracy
had before employed. Then after a
time OF hot warfare came the evidences
of a truce, which was brought about, it
was supposed, by the in%terposition of
the national administration. Finally
the election developed a democratic
majority about as large as the entire
vote of the state in the last pre-
vious election, a fact which il
is proposed in the United States senate
TO inquire into, and which would cer-'
tainly seem to warrant an investigation.
How the truce was brought about be-
tween the hostile democratic factions,
and McEnery's resentment transformed
into a zeal for Nichols in the eagerness
of which he forgot all about his pledges
to see that there was a free vote and n
fair count, was, however, a somewhat
perplexing question. Naturally it was
ascribed TO influence from Washington.
Tho sufficient explanation comes at
last in the appointment of McEnery by
Nichols to be an associate justice of the
supreme court of the state. The evil
dence of a bargain is obvious, and pur-
suant to il both of these political free
hooters are provided for. Had McEnery
as governor carried out his promise
that there should be a free election and
fair count, it is questionable whether

False Claims.

The impudent presumption with
which the democratic platform claims
for the present administration the faith
full and efficient performance of every
executive duty, is only equalled by its
preposterous pretense thatthe democrat
ic party has shown t~idelitysand devotion
to, its pledges. In both cases the record
is clearly and indisputably against these
claims.
Consider, for example, the condition
to which the postal service of the coun-
try wa brought under Villas. Does any
one remember when there was so much
complaint at any other time during the
past twenty years as has been heard in
every part of the country during
the last two years regarding the mail
service? The west has suffered most
seriously from the incompetence and
the fine political work of Villas, but the
service everywhere has greatly de-
Perforated in efficiency. This has been
virtually admitted by the present post
master general, who is manifesting a
desire to remedy the defects which be-
came widespread under his predecessor,
but finds the task no easy one with a
great amount OF incapacity that has
found its way into the postal service.
1t was the professed intention of the
administration to reform the entire sys-
tenn upon which the business of
the government had been con-
Quoted under republican admin
istrations, yet an investigation OF
the departments by a senate
committee with n democratic
senator at its head developed the fact
that in some of them the most unbusi-
ness-like methods prevail-some of
long-standing and others which were
intended to be in the line of reform. 1t
is probably true as to one or two of the
bureaus that some improvement has
taken place in the methods of doing
business, but on the whole the execu-
tive functions of the government have
been carried on more bunglingly under
the present administration than almost
ever before. The anxiety to ''turn the
rascals out" has foisted upon important
branches of the public service a great
number of men who had no other or
better recommendation than the polit-
ical services they had rendered or
could render, and it may safely be as
serted that the average of intelligence
in the public service of this time is
lower than ever before in the history of
the country.

Falling Into Line.


It transpires that Mr.. Edward Cooper
OF New York, who went to st. Louis TO
see that the platform was not made too
offensive to the protection element in
the party and failed TO have a line OF
the document as it came from Washing
ton altered, will nevertheless vote for
Mr.. Cleveland. He does not hesitate to
confess that he is dissatisfied with por-
tions of the platform, and very likely
his views not intended for the public
ear would be anything but commenda-
tory OF that document, but Mr.. Cooper
is not without political ambition, and
on the ground of duty to the party he
will support the ticket. Well, perhaps
Hewitt and all the rest of the disgrun-
tied crowd will do the same, though it Is
still questionable whether they will
be found exerting their wonted zeal
in the cause. In the case of Hewitt
there is some personal feeling as woll
as the question Of material interests.
He has not been treated we'll by Mr..
Cleveland, and he isa man in whom the
spirit of resentment is strong. But
still he may be won over, and even be-
come a leader in the chorus that will
sing the praises of Grover. Hill has
jumped into the arena with as voluble
a flow of gushing laudation of the presi-
dent as il he had never desperately
labored to bring him into disregard
with the party and push himself to the
front for the presidential nomination.
He will be entirely satisfied now if he
is able to secure a denomination for
governor, and it would be a just rebuke
of his duplicity and his demagogy to
deny him this. But the suggestion for
republicans Is not to count too largely
on democratic detection. That party is
going to be skillfully and vigorously
managed, and no effort will be wanting
to keep in the fold those who may have
a tendency to stray from it. The SEQ
hesive power of public plumber" will be
utilized as it never has been before.
The democracy will be defeated only by
presenting in opposition candidates who
can command the full republican
strength, divide the Independent vote,
and draw to it a majority of the million
voters who will cast their first ballot in
a national election next November. 1t
is possible to name such a ticket at
Chicago.

THERE are fears that a civil war is
imminent in the C~hickasaw natio II OF
the Indian territory. A law was passed
by the council taxing all cattle grazing
on Indian lands. But the cattlemen,
many Of whom are citizens of the ma
ton, resisted the collection of this tax
and drove the collector and deputies off
with violence. The cattlemen showing
fight, the governor has ordered out the
national militia OF Indians and in con-
junction with United States troops will
quell the rebellion. There is, however,
a feeling in SOM sections of the terri
tory that the cattlemen have many
sympathizers and that the struggle will
involve the whole nation. In that
event serious complications may arise
and Uncle Sans troops may have their
hands full for some time.

THE de fiance Of the Chicago, St.
Paul 81 Kansas City, in violating the
interstate m law by cutting
through rates at the same time main
tanning its local tariff, has been initiated
by the Wisconsin Central. Unless the
Interstate commission Immediately
puts a stop to the breaking of the law,
all the other roads leading to the north
west out of self-protection will be
obliged to follow their pernicious ex-
ample. But it is not at all
probable that the commi ssioners will
permit these railroads to take the
law into their own hands. BY the fool
hardy policy of keeping up high local
rates and making low rates on through
traffic these railroads have aroused a
feeling of bitterness on the part of mer-
chants at intermediate points between
Chicago and st. Paul. They will I'M
doubtedly file complaints with the inter
state commissioners, and bring suit
against the railroads for violation Of
the law. On the whole it looks serious
for these law-defying corporations.

OMAHA is Offering strong induce
ments to the Knights of Pythias to hold
their next conclave in this city. ST.
Louis appears TO be the only rival. AS
between these cities there can be very
little doubt as to which one will be pre-
ferred. st. Louis is not suitable for
aolding conventions. The oppressive
heat and poor accommodations there
made the democratic convention any
thing but agreeable, a fact that will
be long remembered. Omaha has
already become famous as a convention
city. The close run il made for the
national republican convention imme!
diately called attention to its merits. In
consequence Omaha has become the
choice of the M%othodists and other de-
nominations for holding representative
gatherings. Moreover Omaha is al
enthusiastic centre of the order, and the
Knights OF Pythias cannot fail to rec
ognize that it is to their benefit to en-
courage this sentiment. With the lib
ara guarantee OF siO0, 600 for the enter
tainment of the delegates, the grand
lodge ann fail to give Omaha the
preference.

IT will not be many a day before an
all-water route between Chicago and
London will be an established fact. AS
yet it is in the nature of an experiment.
Nevertheless, the first steamship con-
signed direct from England to Chicago

way to Chicago. The Rosedale was
built especially for the service, and
brings over as her first cargo a thou
sand tons of Portland cement. On her
return trip she will probably carry
back to England flour and packing
house products. 1t is necessary, how

DEMOCRATS profess to believe that
the candidacy OF Thurman will make
Ohio a doubtful state. No idea could
be more foolish han this, and no n
will entertain il who knows anything
about Ohio democracy and the relations
in which Thurman has stood to the
party in his state for. several years.
There is a very large and influential
faction of the Ohio democracy-the fac
ton, indeed, which has the Doodle
that has no love for the "old Roman"
and which was wholly responsible for
the political retirement from which he
has just been called. 1t successfully
obstructed the way to his nomination
for the presidency when his chances
seemed better than those Of any other
democrat in the country; it de-
feated him for the senate when he
had every right to expect a reelection
to that body; it effectively eXerted its
influence to keep him out Of the cabi-
net and to prevent his receiving any
recognition from the administration.
Perhaps in the present exigency this
faction will not manifest the same i'm
placable hostility to Thurman that it
has hitherto done, but that it will give
him a hearty support cannot reasonably
be supposed. Possibly Mr.. Thurman
may be able to increase the democratic
vote of Ohio somewhat over that of last
year, but there is not the slightest
danger that Ohio will farl to go repub-
lican next November. AS talisman
