A RAILROAD POLITICIAN.

The n. Y. Nal and Express has
been the earnest champion of rail
road manager Depew as the Re
publican candidate for President,
The Chicago Convention made Mr.,
John Thurston, of Omaha, Neb., its
Temporary Chairman and be fur
nished an interview 10 the NAL and
Express in which he gives some
facts about his personal history and
an insight into Nebraska politics.
We learn from this interview that
Mr.. Thurston was appointed ''attOr-
ney for the Union Pacific railroad"
while he was City Attorney. We
find also that while he was City At
torney be was elected to the Legis-
lature and made Speaker of the
House. He was n candidate for the
u. S. Senate as against Van Wyck
and was shortly afterwards appoint
ed general attorney of the Union Pa
cific railroad, which office he now
holds. He is also President of the
Republican League in Nebraska.
1t is safe to say, Thurston would
not be employed by the Union Pa
cifc unless he had political inHu-
ence.
1t is highly edifying to see this
railroad attorney speaking as fol
lows of editor Rosewater ofthe Oma-
ha Bee. He says:
The Bee has attacked almost ev-
cry nominee of the Republican par
ty. 1t is the organ of the sG-called
anti-MOnOpoly faction. There is
undoubtedly a strong feeling in the
State which has been largely created
by the Bee and its followers who are
demagOgues and who make use OF
the anti-monOpoly cry to win pnliti-
cal favor. Ex-senator Van Wyck
has also been largely instrumental
in stirring up this unjust sentiment.
He was elected TO the Senate by a
combination ofDemOcrats and Anti
MOnOpolistS. He claims to be a
great friend of the people and goes
about speaking in some part of the
State nearly every day on the sub
ject of anti monopoly.
1t ThurstOn could have his way
he would suppress the few papers
like the Bee and the DEMOCRAT.

WALL STREET AND THE HIGH
WAYS.

The Financial article" in the \.
Y. Times for the 10th is full of in
struction and full of fOOd.for thought
to those who think this paper exag-
gerates the danger of Wall street
railroad management. We wish
very much we had time and space
to make such comments as would
bring this matter home to the un.
Outstanding of the people. Wegive
the article:
Railroad stocks OF intrinsic val
ne sag. The "fancies" figure no
more in anybody's calculations. The
tendency-sO far as there is any
tendency-is toward q lower basis
for prices. In the Southwest there
is a bitter fight among the railroads
that are competing for very exis-
tence sake. The Northwest railway
situation has drifted into an utter
demoralizatiOn. Even the Eastern
trunk line pool has feuds and rival
ries and snrreptitious schemes that
portend troubles OF magnitude. In
the South alone is there an outlook

1--WE are uncompromisingly in Ia
vor of the American system OF pro-
lection" says the Republican plat
form. The system of tariff legisla-
ton q which the name Of "Ameri-
can" is honestly applied was that
OF which HENRY CLAY was the chief
advocate and in great part the orig
inator. Ii had for its especial fea-
ture a range of duties on foreign
imports averaging not over 20 per
cent. The present tariff rates aver
age AZ per cent, and go as high as
$50 per cent. HENRY CLAY, were he
living and adhered to his American
system" would regard with horror
the present tariff, and with contempt

THE HAPPY PRoTECTEDFARMER
The Careful Government Takes Excel
lent Care of Him.
From the Boston Globe.

Behold, then, the happy farmer as
he rises in the morning and puts on
his common flannel shirt, taxed 90
per cent. 1t is perchance cool, anC.
he puts on a coat taxed 81 per cent.
He cannot 90 out without shoes,
taxed 35 per cent, and the hat that
he puts on is taxed So per cent. He
draws water ir a bucket taxed 80
per cent, and washes his face and
hands IN tin bowl taxed 80 per
cent, drying them on cheap cotton
towel taxed 45 per cent.
But still more happiness is in
store. He sits down to breakfast and
eats from a plate taxed so per cent,
with knife and fork taxed 80 per
cent. The sugar he puts in his cof-
fee is taxed SO per cent, and he sea-
sons his food with salt taxed 40 per
cent. He looks fondly at his happy
wife and children who share his pro-
lection with him, and then goes out
and fills his pipe with tobacco tax
ed 1872 per cent, or perhaps lights Il
protected cigar taxed lis per cent.
Meanwhile the smiling sun streams
through the protected glass window
of his domicile on a tax of SO per
cent.
The thrice happy farmer now
takes old Nell out of the stable and
puts on q bride taxed IS per cent.
A neighboring smithy shoes her,
using nails taxed 60 per cent, driv-
en- by hammer that is taxed 20
per cent. He then bitches her to a
pillow taxed 40 per cent. with chains
taxed SIS per cent, and proceeds to
his Highly protected labor.
The days work being done he
reads a chapter from the family Bible
taxed % per cent, and kneels to
pray on a humble carpet taxed 81
pei cent. At last he lies down and
wraps his weary limbs in a sheet
taxed 40 per cent and sinks into the
arms of Morpheus under blanket
that is taxed 104 per cent.

The following should be pondered

over;
In the race for wealth in this
country during the last quarter of a
century there have been many cases
of success that seems brilliant,
founded not on sagacitY, prudence,
and skill in dealing with the fac
tors of industry and enterprise, but
upon rapacity and lack of moral
scruple. A man like Jay Gould,
for instance, may be keen-sighted
and skillful, but the advantage he
has over other men in accumulating
his millions is after all lack of
scruplein using methods from which
men of honor and moral sense shrink.
Honest men are at disadvantage
in contest with him because they
cannot use his weapons. BY under
mining othes, by wrecking enter
prises full of promise and getting
possession of them when the values
ventured in them are destroyed and
those engaged in them crippled, by
wrestling opportunities from those
who have fairly won them, by using
great capital to crush competition,
wealth may be gathered faster than
brains and conscience combined can
win it. Butthese methods are no bet
ter than robbery or piracy, and will
ultimately be held in the same es-
TEEN. The moral sentiment of the
community in regard to such trans
actions may come to sudden or at
least rapid awakening, and before
some of these modern faeebooters
reach the end of their careers pen
alties may yet overtake them which
will make their apparent success
the worst kind of failure.

Iowa, with the whole West, owes
an incalcuable debt to the railways;
and while it is eminently fit that the
high handed ways of corporate sell
fishness shall be held in check and
public interests protected, yet jus
tice, if not liberality, is still the due
ofthese corporations, through whose
growth has come the development OF
the whole Western country. The
tendency shown now is not to-
ward justice, much less toward
liberality; the Granger politician
has taken up the cry of Donnybrook
Fair: If you see head hit it,

THE UNsELFIsH ELEMENT.

The Democrats of Minnesota have a
duty to perform i'll giving an emphatic
endorsement to President CLEvE-
lands civil service policy. This can
not be done if the officeholders and the
office-seekers are permitted to control
the state convention tomorrow.
The great body of the people are not
ofticeseekers. They care nothing for
the loaves and the fishes. They are
fighting for the establishment of great
principles.
In view of the muddled condition the
office-seekers are getting the Democratic
party into, it now becomes the duty Of
the unSelfiSh element-the nOn-office-
seekers-to come to the front and take
control of affairs.
The young men, particularly, have an
interest in lifting the party out of the
rut OF machine politics. They are to be
the future custodians of Democratic
principles, and it becomes their duty to
protect the party organization from the
rapacity of the office-seeker.
BOssism is plant of Republican
growth, and has no place in the Demo
cratic party. The same is true of ma
chine methods. Nothing short of a
square deal, in which every man can
have an equal sharing, is Democracy,
and the man who eleyates his person
aIity above his party is no Democrat.
Again we say, let the unselfish ele-
ment come to the front and assert its
power in shaping the course of the
Minnesota Democracy.

WASTED ENERGY.

The strength which GRESHAM has
gained in Minnesota does more credit to
the enthusiasm of his supporters than
to their judgment. For what will if
profit Judge GRESHAM if the whole
Northwest declares for him, if at the
same time the leaders of the party.
those who hold the purse strings. re-
ceive their orders from those who make
up the purse, that Judge GRESHAM
shall not be the nominee?
That they have received such orders
is evident from the attitude of the East
ern states, the hotbedS of protection
and monopoly. That arch-monopohst
himself, JAY GOULD, is reported as say
ing that he would spend a million dol
lars to defeat GRESHAM. That statement
alone would be sufficient to give the Re
publican managers pause if they had
any serious thought of GRESHAM.
Lamentable though the fact NAV be. il

DIN the next campaign our Republican
brethren will be called upon, if they
would entertain even the faintest hone
of success, TO spend more money than
ever before. Their chief resource al

sentiment that is beautiful to see. The
Republicans, on the other hand, are
tossed about on sea of doubt and dis
sension. Nearly every state has its
'favOrite son, nearly every community
differing in individual preferences.
Each one of the score of prominent
Republicans thinks the prize rightfully
belongs to him, and each one Of them
looks upon all the others with doubt
and suspicion that is largely tinctured
with hatred. Each one is jealous of
all the others, and all are ready to
render the successful candidate for
the nomination support the luke
warmness of which will be determined
by the intensity of his own aspirations.
Unanimity is out of the question, and
harmonious cooperation is not to be
thought of. Too many disappointed
men will leave the national convention
for that.
Therefore, even if the superiority of
the Democratic strength and organiza-
ton over that of the Republicans had
not been amply demonstrated, there
would be indications sufficient in the
contrast to be seen between the two
parties regarding the presidential can
dldate that this is not the year in which
the Republicans can hope for reversal
of the order of things which the people
have passed upon and found to be sur
priSingly good.

SCENES IN THE LOBBY.
How the Delegates Came in and
What They Did.

Henry A. Castle was conspicuous in
the Merchants yesterday.
Il think my chances are good" he
said, ''of going to Chicago as delegate.
1t is probable that the convention will
divide the delegates at large as follows:
Two to the Fourth district and one each
to the northern and southern parts of
the state.''
Senator Marcus johnson sauntered
up to the hotel desk with II. l.. Frazer.
Can you give us a room?' he asked
Col. Dodge.
"What for?' asked the colonel, smell
ing small mouse.
just little game whispered the
senator.
"Ha, ha," laughed the colonel, 'syou
don't mean that. It's politics that
you're up to. Front Show the gen
tleman to 10000"
w. Il. Merriam opened his campaign
headquarters i'll Room S of the Mer-
chants yesterday ard was busy showing
delegates the road that leads to it.
Fred Butler, postmaster of Ada,
sauntered about. He volunteered the
information that II. Stevenson would
be the Fifth districts candidate for del
egate to Chicago and Gil Hartley the
delegate at large.
Denny Hannafin had a group sur
rounding him while he told of his new
paper to be started midway between st.
Paul and Minneapolis.

take a fresh chew, he added;

\ Blue Earth county delegate was
telling friend that there was not
McGill man in the delegation to to-days
convention, and that particular pains
had been taken to snub the governor in
that county.
l.. II. Prosser said that he was here to
boom Col. Edwards, of Spring Valley,
for delegate at large to Chicago.
Joel HeatwOle spent the afternoon
taking bath and changing his linen.
His candidacy for delegate at large
seemed to be thriving. The newborn
independent faction of the party appear
to regard him as their favorite, while
the McGill men are reported as ready
to lay him out. He was III a jolly mood

New YORK, May 15.-The committee
of seven appointed by the national

ments for the national convention, met
here to-day. W. III. Barnum. of Connec-

North Carolina; Hon. PHI. Kelly. of Min

of st. Louis. The committees selected
Hon. Richard j. Bright. of Indiana, as
sergeant-at-arms, and Capt. Don Able,
of st. Louis, as chief doorkeeper of the
Democratic national convention, st.
Louis. The large amount of work to be
done by the sergeant-at-arms and the
chief doOrkeeper before the meeting of
the convention made it necessary to
make the appointments at this early
day. The appointments will be subject
to the approval of the Democratic ma
tional committee, which will submit
them to the convention for its ratifica-
ton.

THE DELEGATES WELCOME

No assurance ought to be necessary
to the thousand or more delegates and
their friends who will come to the two
conventions in st. Paul this week that
they are cordially welcome to the CITY.
Whether Republican or Democratic in
their proclivities. st. Paul sees in them
only representative Minnesotians. who
come TO the city to perform one of the
duties of citizenship.
Many of them have had experience of
the hOSpitable nature of the city. and
we trust those who have not will be ac-
corded that pleasant experience before
their departure. Even if there were
not two interesting conventions to oc-
cupy portion of their time while here.
they would find in the city and its sur-
roundings enough to interest them IN
prevent time from hanging heavily on
their hands.
The citizens Of st. Paul are naturally
proud of their city, and they are glad to
have it Inspected by visitors. They.are
confident that such inspection will be a
source of both pleasure and profit.
Therefore, even those delegates who
find the result of the conventions not in
accordance with their wishes will not
have taken the trip to the city wholly in
vain.
A few days stay in st. Paul ought to
be sufficient to compensate for even a
more severe Disappointment than the un.
satisfactory result of delegate conven.
ton,
