The Broom hotel man has no kick on the

JAY GOULD is trying to prevent the
Rock Island from putting on the
Flyer from Denver to Omaha. The
Assoclat ed Press says:
Attempts were made Monday
morning by the Milwaukee and Rock
Island railroads to run trains across
the bridge, at Omaha, but the bridge
was locked and they were obliged to
return the Council Bluffs tram.
S. H H. Clark, general manager of
the Union Pacific, was seen by a re-
porter and said that the Union Pa
clfic proposed to do its own business.
It did not intend to give up to anoth-
er road and allow It to use It's tracks
as it pleased. It had offered to pull
in Rock Island and Milwaukee trains
but it would not allow the engines Oh
those roads to do so. The agreement
would be complied with and the sub
ject was now being discussed in New
York, and decision in it would not
be reached before the 9th proximo.-
1t was all nonsense to say that Mr.
Gould sought to keep Eastern roads
out of the city. The Union Pacific
was willing to encourage all roads tc
come here, but they had to come il
in the right manner.
This determination puts the Rocl
Island IN bad shape. How it vii
be able to operate its road west o.
here is question of considerable in
terest and Importance. None of the
Representatives of the road in Thu
city could answer it."

SHALL COUNTY BONDS BE
ISSUED.

Petitions are in circulation asking
the County Commissioners to issue
County Bonds with which to raise
money to be expended1ni buying seed
for the farmers. It. seems that the
law of Kansas confers this authority
on County Commissioners when the
request is made by the petitions Of
one fourth of the voters of the county
(See Article IA, Chapter 25, Laws Of
1897 We are informed that there
is a general demand that such an &C
ton be taken by our Commissioners,
while we know of farmers who are
strongly opposed to the issue of bonds
for any purpose. We hope to see a
general discussion of the matter. If
there is eyer q right time to vote
bonds for the benefit of one class this
would seem to be that time. We de-
plore the necessity of again bonding
the county for we have a heavy
enough debt but we enter no protest
against any sensible movement calcu-
lated to aid the farming community
of this county. This question would
be a good one to discuss in the var
ious Alliances.

A Happy New Year.

To-day is January 1, 1891. The
old year, 1880. with all her mighty
record of events is gone. How short
it seemed and yet no twelve months
of the worlds career was so import
ant, because in the very nature OF
things, each successive year has
crowded into it more than was con-
tanned in any previous single year
Millions have been born and millions
have passed on into the next exis-
tence. If we were to have spread out
before us the full record of all the
crimes committed by our erring fellow
men, we would be appalled,, and
would surely believe that the world
of mankind is growing worse. On
the other hand if we could see and
understand all the agencies for good,
and could measure the mighty in
fuences which have been at work to
push the race up on to a higher
plane, we would have feeling of ex-
ultation, and we would be strength
ened in the belief that the universe
is organized on the upward or spiral
plan, and the race of mankind is
surely though slowly climbing up the
ladder of progression, and becoming
better and still better.
Nations may halt awhile and indi-
viduals may stop on the way-may
even go back for a time-how long
a time we cannot know, but the race,
collectively, goes on and will go on
forever. The important thing for us
dear reader, to know is have we SO
acted during the year just ended that
we are higher up on the moral and
intellectual ladder of progression
than we were a year ago. If not
then let US see to it that if we are
permitted to see the close of the year
just entered upon, that we will be
able to answer this interrogatory at
Tentatively.
Important as has been the past to
us, the future will be still more i'm
pertant. Let US turn our eyes from
the old year to the new. In the yea
1891 let US do all the good we can
and as little harm. 1t too, like tn,
year '9O,wilI soon pass and though WI
may see many successive years er,
we receive our summons to come III
higher" yet life at its longest on tn
physical plane is short Let US d
our best to so 1--we that when gone
may truthfully be said of US, that on
influence was for good and not evil
Standing on the threshold of
new year, the HERALD cordially greet
all It's readers and wishes them
Happy New Year.

STATE SENATOR w: j. Buchan of
Kansas City, Kas., said to a supposed
supporter of Senator Ingalls, that the
great work before the friends of In
gals now is to prevent, if possible,
the Alliance members of the legisla-
ture from gong into a caucus.
If caucus can be prevented, he
holds, there Is a fair probability of
re-electing Ingalls,. But if the Al
lance members go into a caucus
there is 40 possible hope; the man
they nominate will be elected on the
first ballot.
Buchan claims, with apparent con-
fidence, that there are nine Alliance
members who can be depended upon
to vote for ingalls,, if they are not
bound by caucus dictation. There
fore, every string will be pulled to
defeat an Alliance caucus.
To hold the Republican state sena-
tors who are inclined to abandon In
gals in line, Buchan proposes to get
them into a caucus.

1--WE are republican to the core, not
a Centaur- republican and half
alliance, anything to be with the win
nefs-as Dague proved to be during
the late campaign Long Island In
ter Ocean.
Dague believes in the doctrines
upon which the Republican party was
founded, and as taught by Lincoln,
Wade, Thadius Stevens and others.
Our political unsoundness" consists
in protesting against the Republican
party leadership the past few years.
Without going into details about the
big political bosses, we think there
has been for some time good ground
for kicking against the corrupt and
unrepublican methods of the Mont
Nay and McGomery ring in this
county. We have not however faV-
ored the third party movement, as we
hoped that the Republican party
would become the advocate of the
many good measures demanded by
the Alliance. The last election has
brought to the front such men as
Plumb of Kansas and other progress
sive Republicans who propose to take
up and push through the measures
needed. Let the old Republican
ringsters take back seats now, anC
let the men who have the progressive
and reform spirit come to the front
The Republican party may yet d.
great good in helping on the reform
desired by the masses.

The indications now are that the
Rock Island will be unable to put on
the Flyer between Omaha and Den
yer. 1t appears that the Rock-Island
and St Paul roads claim that in Nav
last contract was entered into be-
tween the three roads in interest and
ratified by all the boards of directors.
whereby the St. Paul and Rock Is
land roads were granted trackage
facilities over the Union Pacific bridge
for an annual rental OF $4,000. The
Rock Island also leased the Union
Pacific track between LINCOLN and
Beatrice, Neb- Jay Gould, who late
ly got control of the Q. p, is not wiz
ing to stand to the old contract. The
dispatches say: THE Union Pacific
has placed an engine across the en-
trance to the switch leading to the
Missouri bridge and has a guard of
men around it to prevent the Mil
waukee and Rock Island trains from
crossing It is the intention of the
Milwaukee to attempt crossing each
day until the matter be finally set
