AT the meeting Wednesday OF the
Union Pacific road at Boston, Charles
Francis Adams resigned the presidency
and also as director, and John P. Shaul-
ding, James A. Rumeill and Samuel
Carr. jr., also quilted tho directory, the
vacant places being taken by Jay Gould,
Russell Sage, b. B. Hyde and A. E. Orr.
Sidney Dillon was elected president. 1t
is said that all employees. from general
manager down, are glad Of the downfall
of ex-President Adams.
The Columbus journal., 1890-12-03

THE final action by which the Union
Pacific railroad Was virtually turned
over to Jay Gould has been taken in the
formation OF the new directory in the
interest Of the said Gould. In tho light
OF past experience with this manage
ment there isn't much chance to oenthuse
over the change, but let ms hope that
the west will at least not suffer by il.
And, by the way. while We think OF It We
will just rise to remark to Mr.. Dillon
that this section of the west wants coal
and wants it d-very bad.

NEBRASKA Wide-awakes are trying to
secure the next meeting Of the National
Association of Expert Judges on Swine
for this state. The Nebraska Farmer,
always alive to the interests of the state,
has this to say, in furtherance of the
matter:
Nebraska is the coming great hog
state, with corn and clover for fOunda-
tiOn. She is great even now in her
youth, having this year brought more
highly bred hogs into the state than has
any other state, which is fair lndica-
ton of the character Of her breeders.
Lying ON the borders Of Iowa, Missouri
and Kansas, Nebraska is more accessible
than any western state, and Lincoln is
the proper place for holding such meet
ing. Will some of our breeders speak
ont and agitate the matter somewhat
through the Journals columns in pur-
suance of its kind invitation? Expert
Judd is now entitled to the floor. And
the question is not so much, Is Nebras-
ka entitled to the meeting; nor does she
want it, but will she make the necessary
effort TO get it. And this phase of the
question calls for agitation in these
columns"
We may add that the hog product Of
Nebraska just about represents the av
erage net profit on Nebraska farms, aud
anything that will add to its value or to
its certainty, will greatly enrich the
state. Better breeding, and the best Of
care and are of course the factors Of
success but just exactly what and how
are not known by all Nebraska farmers.
Let us have the meeting, and anything
else that will tend to waken things up.

THE POLITICIANS RULED THE LE0IS-
LATVRE.

The evil effects of sending too many poiiticahs 10
the Legislature was never more clearly demonstrated
than in the present session. The business men ana
country representatives, who would nave uohe some'
thing for the people, if only early adjournment and
saving Of expenses of the taxpayers, were cro"deu
down and overruled by the party machinery leaders
who represented party interests and iought ior party
success This dsgusted and discouraged many good
representatives who returned to their homes and their
work.
The Wilson Fleming faction bosses had the legsla
tive body by the from the start two years ago aud
they held it to the day OF adjournment The sight OF
body of representative men resorig to adjourn from
day to day for two weeks, and as often resolving TO
adjourn the next day, defes precedent, and was
silly and childish in the extreme. The only construc
tion-charitabe way of looking at soch conduct, is
that the pay desirable to let go of before the
last limit of the provisions of the law had expired
that partisan schemes essentially necessary for future
success had to be enacted at the cost of party failure
The ballot bill was just such pretext for extending
the session. The desire of the people for some meas
ure to purify elections made the plea and excuse
upon which the session was prolonged TO rush 1t
through.
The people do acant bill to prevent another dis
grace like the the State had to bear in the count
ing out OF Golf.
But the Democratic politicians did not acaat such
bill as is plainly proven by their votes. TIE Wilson
ballot bill was designed with eye to DISTINGUISHING
every voter who could not read for himself and leave
open all loopholes through which Fleming crept into
the seat to which Gof was elected by an honest ma
jority.
When the Republicans amended the bill SO AS to
prevent county clerks from tampering with the re-,
turns as was DONE the Democrats voted against it and
the House kicked it ont with less courtesy than dog
would have been elected.
When the Republicans amended the bill so as to
prevent the Speaker from refusing TO declare the
vote as prescribed by the Constitution, it met the
same fate whyf because had the Speaker declared
the last vote returned he would have had to declare
Go elected, and that is just what the reformers want
to provide against in the future.
When the Republicans amended the bill so as to
prohibit any Governor from twisting "twen into
twelve, compelling him to procure correct copy of
the returns,-bu the Democrats scorned such ballot
reform.
That's the record. The Republicans have nothing
to regret nothing to deny nothing be ashamed Of
They stood by the wants and will of the people The
Democratic politicians stood by the wants of their
party and the will OF their leaders
The people take their choice and vote according.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.-The City of
Washington is an object of perennial in
tsrest to all patriotic Americans. Not
alone because it is the great throbbing
heart of the mightieet and grandest Re-
public the earth has ever known, but also
on account of its material magnificence.
All Americans take pride in its beauti-
full avenues, ma estic architecture, state
ly homes. and well. stored galleries and
museums as things of grandeur and
beauty in themselves. apart from the his
toric interest with which they are invest
ed. 1t is a hope and ASPIRATION of all

payers, we fail to see it. 1t is con-
spicuous:
LIST. For the counting in Of Elem.
ing by questionable means, raising
the false ely of bribery, coercing
members and depriving them OF
their liberties.
ID. The prominence of the Viii.
son political faction as lobbyists,
forcing before the Legislature a
school book scheme that savors as
Loudly of jobbeIy as Sour Kraut does
OF decayed vegetable matter.
Sd. The Democratic fight against
railroads, headed by lobbyist Wilson
again, contained in a half dozen
bills aimed at railroads, which would
have resulted in damage to the State
interests without any benefit to the
people.
4th. The Wilson ballot-bill,
championed again by the defunct
executive in prOprid persona, intend.
ed to make all the Democratic Capt.
tai out of it as a substitute for the
Australian ballot bill. And on this
the penny a.liners are airing their
blank verse in the absence of any.
thing else to the credit of their par.
ty or their leaders in the Legislature.
But the facts are against them. The
ballot evils the people want RENE
died are Just such as occurred to the
disgrace of this State. They want
to punish any tampering with the
returns by officers,-cbanging them,
destroying them, and their careless
keeping,-.toying with the figures
like Wilson did with " twe,n-refus.
ing the figures or declare the totals
as the constitution provides,-these
well known frauds and corruptions
the people want guarded against.
But the Democratic party leaders
did not want to close their well
known loop holes. They voted
against the ballot bill as so amended,
on the first vote. The Republican
Senate then passed the ballot-bill,
but the Dem Ocratic House refused to
look at it or even consider it, and
slung it back with scOrnful discour-
tesy. Now where are your sincere
reformers' The people will be the
judges.
