South Omaha, May 9Th, 1906.
The cattle trade continued in very
good shape all last week and the early
decline was fully regained by Friday
in fact. prices were little better
on the average class of killing steers
than the close of the week previous.
Tops have held around SIS. IS up to
yesterday when small lot sold at
$3.50. The run today is quite heavy,
1000, the heaviest supply for quite a
while. Reports from other points are
quite favorable, however, and our
trade is in very good shape, although
little weak on some of the common
and medium classes. Butcher stock has
sold steady to strong for the week,
good to choice cows and heifers SELL
ing at $500 and $3.50; fair to good
kinds So. Is and $3.S5. The bulk of the
killing steers are selling around 81. IS
and $4.s5, with the good grades at
81. 80 and SIS. Is.
Stockers and feeders have met with
good inquiry throughout the week,
and prices are Is and 25 cents higher
than one week ago. The better tone
to the beef trade has stimulated the
feeder trade to some extent, while
there is good inquiry from country
men for all classes of stock steers.
Good to choice light and medium
weight steers are selling at $3.50 and
s4.S5; fair to good S4.15 and $4.40;
good to choice heavy steers $4.4O and
$4.65; fair to good $500 and $4.4O.
The hog trade was weak from start

only dime under those prevailing q
week ago. The bulk sold at $6.17!
and s6.22s with top at 1928.

is REALLY FUNNY.
bunch.

Referring to the funny things
which appear in the editorial columns
of the Jersey City Journal, the Tren-
ton True American says
every now and then there is a bit
of humor in the Jersey City Journal.
In its issue of Tuesday it devoted a
column of its editorial space to a
sparkling dissertation on Democratic
Errors About Equal Taxation" 1t
wittily charges the True American
with distorting the facts about the
fight for equal taxation in this state,
and bestows all the credit for what
ever good has been accomplished up
on the republican party. We may
forbear to reply for fear that we may
mistake some of the Journals jest
for words spoken in earnest. The
two are so Unfortunately mixed that
"A Philadelphia lawyer could not tell
which from 'tother."
The Jersey City paper had another
funny n Wednesday night on the
subject of Reform in Middlesex by a
Real Reformer." The Journal actu-
ally meant to be funny in this and it
succeeded admirably. For instance,
one of its jokes was that Middlesex
county has not had a boss since Bob
Carson was retired. Truly the editor
of our Jersey City contemporary is
wasting himself in his present posi-
ton. He should hire himself out as
a professional humorist to one of the
comic weeklies.

Shapers of Public Opinion

NUBIC opinion is being made to a considerable extent by the

the large factors in the creation of MORAL IMPULSES.
Iheeharehes which amount to anything today are demand
ing that a confession of religious faith should carry with it such an at

labor, the maintenance Of proper sanitary arrangements in factories
and the protection of women engaged in industrial pursuits. just be-

TEN A ABOUT UP.

If the county has an ordinance
whereby the trolley company operat-
ing lines within the county is requir-
ed to pay into the public treasury 1
per cent. of its receipts after ten
years of operation, to be gradually
increased until it is paying 3 per cent.
to the county, it is high time that the
matter was looked up and put into
force at the earliest possible moment.
The ten years must be nearly, If
not wholly, expired, and it is up to
the freeholders to collect every cent
due the taxpayers. The Public Ser
vice Corporation has privileges
enough in Middlesex and is making
enough money to pay the l per cenf.,
but it will not do so unless compelled,

ordinance is found the Public Service
will fight the payments before it Viii

Nothing could be more fair, and if
Commissioners Walker, Crowell and
Peterson were as anxious to settle the
matter as they pretend they are they
would have jumped at the PROPOSE
ton and ended the d"isgraceful dead
lock without further delay.
1t seems that Walker, Crowell and
Peterson want a whole loaf or moth
ing. They pretended, at the previous
meeting to be willing to accept any
reasonable proposition the opposing
side might offer. The compromise
suggested last night was reasonable.
1t meant that both sides would win a
point and the city would profit by
having the contracts given to the low
est bidders in both cases.

made themselves the real stumbling
block, ever worse than the other
three at the previous meeting. 1t is

THINK IT OVER"
In speaking in Bordentown Tues
day night, Senator Colby said:

IN speaking IN BOfucntOWn Tues
day night, Senator Colby said:
K's at n dinner party in New
York, or possibly in some part of
Jersey, that the big men on the re-
publican state ticket are nominated
each year. What we want to do is
to drive politics from behind closed
doors into the streets, into the troll
ley cars, the factories, the homes, the
places of business. Once we get the
machine into the light and show UP
its corruption we can beat it,"
That is just the movement Fordyce
is fighting for in this county. He
comes out In the open and tells you
what he believes and what he will
fight for il elected.
The ''machine'' candidates will say
it has all been done, they will point
to the record of the great republican
party, and all that. But they do not
tell you of their plans for the future.
II they do say anything about them
it will be in IA general way and an
assurance that they will continue the
record they have already made, which
is serving the bosses and corpora
lions.
The glorics of the republican party
is all well enough; but how about
the people getting in control of the
government once more?
This movement is called the "New
Idea because it is so different from
the old system. Heretofore the pco-
pie have cast their ballot and the
corporations have held little quiet
conferences Of their own and decided
what these men, elected by the pco-
pile, shall do when the Legislature
meets. The bosses have been noti-
fled of the decisions thus reached and
it was up to them to whip the vari-
Gus Legislators into line.
The "New Idea represented by
Fordycc and Colby is to do away with
these ''quiet conferences and have
everything open and above board,
out before the people, where every
body knows what is going on. This
is a matter worthy of an evenings
thought.

Coal in Elizabeth have
recently had their eyes opened with
respect to the cost of this commodity.
Because Jacobson & Brothers, OF that
city, offered to supply coal to the city
of Elizabeth at a cost OF $2.65 per
ton, local dealers entered a protest
and the bid was turned down. An
injunction by the court led to an in
vestigation, resulting in the state
ment being made by a representative
of Jacobson & Brothers that they
were able to buy the best Lehigh
coal at the mines for $1.25 a ton.
The Central railroad company charg-
ed 81 a ton for hauling the coal to
tidewater, making the total cost OF
a ton of coal delivered in Elizabeth
S2.25 per ton. The above firm was
satisfied with a profit of forty cents
a ton ii it was sold in large quanti-
ties such as they were to deliver to
the board of education for use at the
one of the members of the firm of
jacobson &c Brothers that they were
able to purchase coal at the low hg-
ure quoted by them because OF the
fact that they did so at a time when
the operators were in need of cars
that were loaded with coal during
dull periods. If this is true, why is IT
not possible for other dealers 10 Sc
cure coal in the same manner, there
by giving the public the benefit OF
these low rates?

Menace of Great Wealth
BY 7. X. WEBSTER. Millionaire Manufacturer of Chicago

BY T X WEBSTER. Millionaire Manufacturer of chicaso
AAwHE menace in the control of all natural wealth by a few very
rich families is very real to the WHOLE NATION. We
all know that the 2,25O,0O0 inhabitants of Chicago would
starve in a week if the owners of the great railroads should
refuse to haul to our doors the supplies that are the necessares of life.
We know also that without doubt there is truth in the charge, so
often made, that the greatest Legislative body of this nation, the
United States senate, is owned and controlled by these great corpora
tons that are manipulated FOR THE VERY FEW RICH FAM
lilies by their hired agents
The accumulation of great fortunes in the hands of a few families
is wrong. 1t is not good for the country or the descendants of the
families. Neither Rockefeller, the beef magnates nor any of these
so called bilionaires are true representatives of intelligent, progress
i've, humane capitalists. THEY ARE THE EXTREMES, as the
sluggers are the extremes in labor's ranks.
I should much prefer to see my son a poor boy in a manual train
ing school than1to see him, like young Hyde, the heir to an income of
100000 or 100000 a year.
CAPITAL HAS NO RIGHT TO BRING SUFFERING TO MANY
THAT THE FEW MAY HAVE AN ovERABUNDANcE.
