The leading republican newspapers before
the election commended that the defeat of
their party would mean a set-back Tor pro-
hibition. As usual with parties in power,
the republicans in Iowa have so apportioned
the state as TO give them great advantage,
and they will hold the legislature in spite of
the popular vote against them, but the vote
is likely to have effect even upon republican
views of what is expedieut as to liquor legis-
lation. The present laws cannot be got rid
of without again amenuing the constitution,
but resubmission Of the question Of prohi-
bition is not unlikely to become an issue,
and there are symptoms of the same thing
even in Kansas.

EFFECT OF RAILROAD ALLIANCE

EFFECT OF RAILROAD ALLIANCE.
1t is evident that the railroads which
threatened to fight the Union Pacific
North western alliance from start to
finish have been restrained by wiser
counsel from a proitless contest. Ten
days have passed since the agreement
went into effect, but no outward sign
of war is yet visible. The restrictions
Of law render rate wars not only diff
cult, but decidedly Improbable, and it
is not surprising hat the managers re-
frain from sacrificing local business by
cutting through rates. Other and more
effective to the same end have
been chosen.
The first notable effect OF the al
lance is to spur the Burlington
and Rock Island managers to action.
These roads are the chief competitors
of the combine. Both are operated to
the foot of the Rockies, but cannot stop
there and successfully compete with the
allied lines. They must connect with the
Central Pacific or build to the coast. The
Central is not on the best of terms with
it's eastern connection and would gladly
welcome and share business with a rival.
That it will secure this desired outlet
before many months is a settled fact.
| The widening of the Rio Grande West
| ern gauge between Ogden and Grand
Junction, Colorado, in connection with
the Midland Pacific, will give the Rock
Island n through line from Chicago to
Ogden by the first of the year. The
managers evidently foresaw the al
lance, and long before it was for
mally announced they had closed 9
twenty year lease of the Midland
Pacific and are undoubtedly the power
behind the throne of the Rio Grande
Western. This condition places the
Burlington in n pocket, but it will moi
remain there for any great length o
time. The movements Of the com
pany's leading men in the vest leave
to Ogden at the earliest practicable
moment.
These great railroad movements have
an important bearing on the future o
Omaha. With the Burlington OK

prospect for the third. 1t is an oper

The democratic success IN Iowa is due al

reaction has been gathering strength from
year TO year. 1t has repeatedly brought the
republican party in that state to the verge
OF overthrow and has now reached such
proportions that henceforth this hitherto
Impregnabie republican stronghold may be
considered a doubtful state. at least as long

THE senatorial fight in North Dakota
is the one interesting feature OF the
political situation in the new state. 1t
appears to be generally conceded that
Ex-Governor Pierce is almost certain to
be one OF the senator's, though he is not
without opposition, but there are SO
many aspirants for the other seat in the
United States senate that all guessing
is about equally good. Ex-Governor
Ordway appears to be somewhat In the
lead, but he is very vigorously opposed,
and someo those who will contest with
him for the honor are strong and pop
ular men. Among these are General
Allen and p. j. McCumber, aud the
chances Of the latter are thought TO be
very good il Ordway should be knocked
out. The fight promises to be interest
ing, ana whoever wins, North Dakota IL
certain to be creditably represented in

state where prohibitory liquor laws have been

urged against the validity of the law and

TIE ZEAL

Every intelligent obsei yer OF political
events understands that the real pur-
pose Of the prohibition, OF third party,
is to destroy the republican party 10
make room for itself. The history OF
this movement for the last eight years
is full Of the evidences OF this. In ma
tional and in state elections the prohi-
bition leaders and agitators, wherever
they believed there was the best oppor-
tunity to strike a blow at the republican
party, have made alliance with the de-
mocracy and insidiousiy worked in the
interest OF that party. The course OF
st. John in the national campaign OF
1884 Is well remembered, and the at
tempt In the last presidential campaign
to commit General Fisk, the prohibition
candidate, to q like policy, led him to
withdraw from active participation in
the canvass and leave the managers OF
the party free TO follow their W de-
vices.
That some Of these and their paid in
struments spared no effort to defeat the
republican party is amply attested.
Among the latter Mrs. Helen NJ. Gou-
gar was conspicuous in her efforts in
Indiana, and the fact that that state
cast its vote for, the republican candi-
dates was due to no lack of effort on her
part to secure democratic success. How
she felt at that time is shown in a
letter she wrote dated "At Home,
July 6, 1885," IN which she said: "We
can carry Indiana and New York
for the democrats. n n [ believe
the greatest disaster that could come to
our country would be the success OF
Harrison and Morton. | shall work
for their defeat" This letter fell
Journal and was published by that
paper, its authenticity being subse-
quently acknowledged by Mrs. Cougar.
1t illustrates the spirit and purpose
which dominated the prohibition nov
ment then and which now controls its
advocates for revenue and the
stranded politicians who have found in
it a refuge. These people are prepared
to accept free whisky in order to com
pass the overthrow of the republican
party, hoping through the demoraliza'
tion of society to achieve for themselves
place aud power. Theirs is not the
scheme of The moral reformer, bu'
rather the policy of the nihilist.
The Women's Christian Temperance
union. under its present leadership
appears to be drifting hopelessly il
the same direction. Its president, il
her annual address to the national con
vention, Indicated distinctly this drift
of the organization, and the majority o
the convention were unquestionabl,
in sympathy with her. Bus the eifor
to surrender the organization into tn
arms OF the third party has already cos
it heavily and persistence in this cours
threatens to bring it disaster. AS
moral force, wisely employed, it nigh
exert a useful influence, but as a politi
cal agency Of the third party it can b
effective only in damaging the cause
was intended to promote.
The third party does not stand TO
progress, but for reaction. 1t does nc
!, seek reform, but destruction. Its lead
+ ers make prohibition a %pretense, bu
their real purpose is power and tn
spoils of Office, and as the first step I
the attainment of this they seek til
overthrow of the republican party.

Political RumOrs,

The political bee Is buzzing with unusual
vigor in the Capital City. But, IL can DO
truly said, states arc made aud broken for
the various state and district officers al
most every day IN the week. Lincoln is n
veritable nest of politicians, and they hatch
candidates for the dear people to feather
without even using the wonderful incubator.
The alleged -Meiklejohu
tie.up, however, is not generally accepted as
a fact, although 1t is stated to be one of Brad
Siaughtcr's pet schemes. The fact Of the
matter is, there is a higher power than Brad
who seeks to shape political affairs In the
Third congressional distrist, and he will
come pretty near doing 1t. 1t Is sugges ted
that the deal is n big one that will give II
county tAe governor and a member of con
/ gress, and n district additional the secretary
of state and attorney general.
n 1t Is suggested further that this alleged
combination, coming through the source it
did, has complicated the governor in his APP
pointment of secretary of state, ana that he
proposes to 60 TO the bottom of it before he
places the important patronage he now has
in hand. But the governor is very retlcent
and he declines to speak regarding the mat
ter, and in this he is commended by all
4 cautious politicians.
Scott. of York, and Irving, of Buffalo, are
both candidates for attorney general, ana 1t
Is said that they and their friends do not
look with favor upon aggreSSions on the
part of Meiklejohn and his friends for this
position.
''The big three are big men," said n promi.
nent Lincolnite to-day, 'but this scheme
won't down. They can't afford to press 1t,
either, for in doing so they pinch tho toes OF
some of their best friends"
IL is accepted as a fact here that Senator
| Raymond ana Hon. T.. r., Brown will both
enter the race for governor.
