BIG BOOM IN SHIPMENTS.
Higher Rates in Western Territory
Begin Next Week,

There is now a general hustle of ship
pers and merchants to avail themselves of
the low rates which close in the Western
territory with this week. The result is
that the different roads are short of cars
and it looks as though it would be i'm
possible to fill the orders. The Burlington
Omaha, Elkhorn, Union Pacific, Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island are short in Ne
braska, and every Iowa road has q like
complaint. The drop in wheat has les
sened the shipment Of wheat, but the rush
of corn East continues. 1t is believed by
the freight men that the close of this
week will see the end Of the rush and
then things will settle down into their
normal condition,

Depew and the prominent officers of the

discuss the trouble between their system
and the Glover Leaf. or, as it is officially

decided that hereafter the Nickel Plate

made permanent, as, in the opinion of

Z music AND THE DRAMA.

There are some delightful memories as
sociated with the opera of Bohemian
Girl" which was the second bill offered at
the Auditorium by the Henderson company.
1t contains few of the dearest melodies
of secular music, yet the opera seems to
have assumed the characteristic of fam
lily heirloom, to be contemplated with ap-
propriate regard, but not to be put to its
original uses. In this respect it is not par
ticularly different, however, from the many
delightful works that had their vogue in
the days before comic opera was succeed
ed by operate bcrlesque.
Yet there was more interest in "Bohe-
mian Girl' last night than there was in the
opening bill, and the attendance was con-
siderably larger, although still discourage
ingly small The chorus came out well,
and as there was q nice regard for beauty
and variety of costumes. the pictures were
effective. The familiar numbers were well
con'ed, the particular hit being "The
Heart Bowed Down." which was very well
sung by Mr.. McWade.
Miss Salinger, the Airline has consider
able voice. but is not thoroughly artistic
singer. She has marked personal attrac-
t!cns to commend her to favor. Mr. Bran
son. who sang well in the first opera, was
badly out Of voice last night and made a
failure of Thaddeus. Katharine McNeill,

TOCRACY.

TOCRACY.
In discussing the question of possible
war between the United States and Great
Britain, the socialists of Plymouth. Eng
land, said:
What shall we say of the financiers,
the potentates, who head men on these
things? There are at present about a
dozen men in the world, as many as
could enter small house and sit around
a small table, who by few strokes Of
their pens could set about seven millions
OF men flying at each others throats,
and who will, perhaps, ere long, do it
to solve a mere financial problem What
are we to think of these beings, and
what shall we think of the millions Of
our class who have sold themselves and
still continue to sell themselves as hired
cut-thrOats? What are we to think of
these men allowing that royal ruffian of
Germany to tell them that ere long he
might command them to shoot down
their own relations brothers, parents,
and that they were sold to him body and
soul. We would say to every man Of
our class by whom these words may be
read, whatever be your poverty. what
ever be your misery, what ever be your
destitutiOn and privation, we would
counsel you to take anything or do any
thing for your bit of bread. if the inevi-
table drives you to it, rather than be-
come one of these armed cut-throats of
these men. Seeing that it is by your
swords that they do their villainy, if you
refuse to join them in their wickedness,
they would find themselves helpless and
broken to morrow morning."

Business is languishing and the price
of all farm produce is extremely low,
with no better prospects for the immedi-
ate future. What has been the influence,
or set of Influences at work which has
brought the country and it's interests to
such a plight? The surplus of the
farms is large and it is said that money
is plenty, but these facts do not change
the conditions, the circulating medium
stays in the banks and the surplus pro-
duce remains in the bins or is sold for
a pittance, for the reason that those in
need of bread have no money to buy it.
What money there is in existence is
boarded in the banks for purposes of
speculation and is controlled by the
trusts and other monopolies in bearing
the price of everything except money.

have been too glaring and abrupt. The
American people now understand their
game and will strike for liberty. The
tricks of the two old parties are known.
Tariff agitation can no longer hide the
rascaEty of the combination. There is
no difference in their policy of Oppres-
sion. Cleveland sells bonds to specula-
tors to buy gold foragold gamblers and
impound the money Of the country into
the treasury. Sherman says Amen,
and Reed with his Republican house OF
representatives hastens to lndorse the
scheme. Bonds, Bonds more bonds and
less money, is the motto which is in
scribed upon the forehead of every SER
want of Rothschild from Cleveland,
Harrison, Sherman, and Reed down to

All hail to the people, who have re-

gratulate every lover of liberty that the

Louis and the conference at Washington
for their grand exhibition of country be-
fore party Their conduct in this crisis
of the country's history is evidence OF
an inspiration that pervades the land.
No previous wire-pulling manipulation
or preparation was necessary to guide
the action of the Populists and the silver

TRUSTS.

The National Watchman sets forth the
curse of trusts in the United States, but
it does not mention all of them, only
those which exercise the greatest power,
as for instance, "the cattle trust has
capital stock of $13, 600; the salt trust,
$32, 900 900; the cotton oil trust, $4,000
600: the lead trust $45, 900, 900; the sugar
trust. $4,000, 900; the tobacco trust, $780,
O0O, 900, and the Standard oil trust has
one man among its organizers who is said
to receive as his annual dividend Sc ,OO0,-
600. It is estimated that the combined
capital of all the trusts in the United
States amounts to more than 81 100000.
These enormous aggregations of wealth
exert immense power of evil, and are
manifestly antagnoistic to the general
welfare. They increase prices on the ne
cessities of life. They reduce the wages
of the workingmen. They seek to con-
troll production. They lessen the demand
for labor. They throttle the competition
in trade and manufacture. They mo-
nopolize the wealth of the land. They
bribe and corrupt our legislative bodies.
They largely dominate both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties.
