A PROMPT response.
from Omaha Bee.l

IRON Omana Bee.I
The president OF the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy railroad has set a good example to
other railroad managers In promptly notifying
the Iowa railroad commissioners that his road
will at once comply with the schedule framed
by the commissioners, and will refund over
charges since the filing of the decision of
Judge Brewer. To this extent, Mr.. Perkins
shows q proper spirit, which IL will be wise Cor
the managers of other roads In Iowa to emu
late. 1t was to be expected that he would
abandon the claim maintained I'm the court
that the schedules of the commissioners are
unjust, or that he would give up the fight in
which the railroads have just suffered defeat.
He protests that the rates established are in
adequate, and he implies n purpose to judi
cially continue the contest. Blu meanwhile
the Burlington company will gracefully sub
NIT to the law, and thus give the opportunity,
which in the opinion % Judge Brewer must be
given, to determine by practical trial whether
or not the rates established by the commission
ers will be compensatory. This is obviously
no other way in which this can be satisfactory
ly ascertained. No court is competent to de-
termine 1t without evidence obtained from
the operation of the schedules. In such IL
matter III are of small value, for as was
said by another judge quoted by Judge Brewer,
"a reduction IF railway charges is not always
followed by a reduction of either gross or net
income This has been repeatedly and wide
ly demonstrated.
The letter of President Perkins to the secre-
tary of the commission is pacific and concilia-
tory. He indicates that the appeal to the
courts was made from a sense of the great i'm
p~ortance of having the law judicially inter-
preted, and closes with the expression of @
hope that the company he represents may
have the cooperation of the commissioners
in the further hearing and the final and salts
factory settlement of the whole question. In
dOubtedly the commissioners will heartily re-
spond to this friendly spirit, and as the Iowa
law permits rates to be advanced when they
are shown to be below a compensatory point,
if experiment proves the schedules establish
ed to be too low they will doubtless be revised.
But the actual experiment is necessary, and
this the decision of Judge Brewer will secure.

Mr.. Calhoun on the Past.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. Alto the Editor of
The Herald. 1-YOCr review this morning of
my note printed the day before seems to be
rather a personal criticism of myself than an
attempt to carefully consider what / said.
The implication that L wish to lead democrats
"away from true democracy and sound policy
is unfounded. / have never sought to lead at
all, nor do / now. All L want to do is to pre-
vent, if possible, the party once more impal-
ing itself on the horns of fate, or destiny, or
whatever you choose to call it. AS to slavery,
as to various constitutional amendments, as
to the Slocumb law, as to other foreOrdained
milestones along the march of human pro-
gress, the democratic party has always repeat
ed the same bit of history. 1t first resisted,
then submitted, then tolerated, then approx
ed. The very SlOcumb law which is new the
height of human perfection was but a few
years ago pronounced odious tyranny by the
democratic party in Nebraska. 1t was solemn
ly and seriously denounced by several state
conventions. l protested against that folly
then IS / protest against q similar folly now.
1 do not agree with The Herald that this is ian
emergency" Nothing of the sort. 1t is a
mere accident of human progress, and for
once in lifetime / want TO see the democratic
bull step off the track before the engine comes
along. 1t is not q fight of partisans. There
is no obligation whatever upon the party to
take either one side or the other. II is a 1ues-
lions of morals, having no such relations to
politics that political organs, leaders. or con-
y~entions have the right to bind or attempt to
bind their voters to any policy concerning it.
1t is not 1.-THE imperative duty of the party to
commit ITSELF but, Oh the contrary, the ques-
ton is one of fleeing issues whose very
natures do not allow a permanent party to
bind or commit its voters TO any sort of policy
regarding it. There are limits to the right
of a party to pronounce. There are reserved
rights of individual opinion on all but cardinal
principles. The right to make and sell whisky
is not a cardinal principle of the democracy,
and no pronouncement bya leader or an organ.
or convention, can make it so.
Let rs make haste slowly. Let US have care
that the renown of our party does not arise
more from the remarkable fact of its cOntinu-
ed existence than from what it has done or
proposes to do. id

LIST OF THE GUESTS:
Our New Plan.

We, the physicians of McCoOk, have beer
forced to adopt a NEW PLAN with regard tt
our collections for the following reasons:
1. We have found it impossible to collect
more than a small portion Of our accounts
2. We have repeatedly found that our bills
have been ''left until the last" and we have
thus frequently been compelled to borrow
money from the banks to pay our running
expenses.
8. This has been carried to such and eX
tent that we are forced to stop practice un
less our patrons appreciate our services in a
more substantial manner. For the foregoing
reasons be it hereby
RESOLVED, That hereafter we will dc
strictly a cash practice. and whenever any.
one of our patrons becomes delinquent, he
shall be notified, and unless satisfactory set
Element be made within thirty days thereaf.
ter, he shall be put npon the delinquent list.
RESOLVED, That all accounts now on Oul
books shall become delinquent, on Feb. 20,
1889, unless satisfactorily settled before that
date.
RESOLVED, That we mutually pledge our.
selves to refuse to answer all calls from those
found ON the delinquent list.

What are we Doino,

What is Nebraska doing to attract in.
vestment and thrifty immigration during the
coming spring? Eastern capital necessarily
will look to the west for profitable invest.
ment and will naturally tend toward that
state and that industry which offer the great.
est inducement. There is every reason to
believe that capitalists will look to the de.
velopment of western resources. The con.
dition of the money markets are favorable
to such a W The increase in the surplus
of the eastern banks indicates that the field
for investment is restricted at home. The
opportunity should not be lost by Nebraska
to present her claims. Other states are max.
ing a strong bid to attach both capital and
labor, and it behooves our best interests not
to be left in the race.

the market is 211z cents per pound. An aver
age bullock weighing 1000 pounds costs the
producer $25. He is sold for $50, which
