Incidental to t'li.; let ih add that republican legisl.it ion has in the last twenty yens thrown many safeguards ar iiiud the system ; it rc-ponsible par lies cannot set-are contracts for specu lation urn, none but actual sui vi-yots can be employed as deputies, uinl the further addiiion may be mailt- that at no time when demoeiaey lias had pow er in congress has it attempted to show any ilcsiie to repeal Ihe present system. Hence, the safe conclusion is that the 8y stein is apnrovetl of democ racy ami the reecoliectiou of what it was to them is the gall and worm Wood. Anothtr fai l ot record is the ostem itself. Congress appi opi iates from year to year certain amounts for the survey of the public domain; the Sur veyor (lenerals under instruction from l he commissioner ol tin; general land office, do this work and they do it in this way ; A certain amount is appro priated for woik in a district; the Surveyor (leueral employes a deputy or deputies, under contract, to do the work ami the government stipulates the price; heavy bonds are taken, they are approved by him and by the gener al land office, the deputy peifoims the work, tin 'Surveyor Ct-neral approves it, the general land ollice at Washing ton approves it. ami 2'is ' I" nil the transaction not a dollar of the money is si en by the Surveyor (leueral. IIi receives and pays out not a dollar of the appropriation, and this is his opportunity for btcaling from appro priations. Another fact of iccord still is this: In all the past year during Hie bowl ings of the malpractioners in the dem ocratic camp. t'ie Surveyor (Jeneral's office has been inviting inspection trom government or individual clothed with any lower; while the abortive cry of stealings and mismanagement have been going up freni the back alleys, the front door of the Surveyor l!em r ;.I's ollice has la -en open inviting the proof of Hit; charges. That honest old monk of this liini tecnth century, who was educatid in the I S7t kkidergardcii of Sammy Til uc n, and ho edits the Omaha Herald, was the first to raise tin- howls of stea-ls from the surveyor (! -nr-ial's of fice anil criminal. divvvs. to o. s. Smith. wlnxe integrity and honesty through , all the vears that Nebraska has been ! bis home had never been questioned or doubted, w as made Surveyor Cen tral in lT; ami upon him as the re sponsible bead of the ollice fell the ac cusations. The accusations were not instigated by spasmodic honestv but foi the sole and immaculate purpose which broods in the average democrat ic heart, to create party capital; not that it was a personal attack on Cien'l smi'H. )h no, those who peddled the slanders were very careful ami partic ular to say it was nothing personal, but from pure motives of h mesty and the great horror that exists in the re reforiuative democratic bosom against corruption. Notwithstanding this General Smith and other republicans had the abuse piled upon them, the Surveyor Gener al's ollice was a den of thieves, govern ment was being robbed, riattsaiouth w as "robbers rocs'," a man was honest at night ami a thief in the morning, government was made t "stand and deliver," the air was tilled with cries of "ringe," "divvy's" and "stealings," and strangers to democratic means and methods would take i'lattsmouth to be divided in twain, a den of forty thieves on one hand with headquarters at the Surveyor General's t flice, and a host of democrats or. the other hand with staves in hand f.ghung to keep the breath of life in the United States government. The p.cture was very pathetic and appropriate. With the convening of the legisla ture in extra session Senator Tefft who was catalogued among the thieve3 de manded in the State Senate an inves tigation Htid it was ordered ; every man who had been a victim of the attacks hailed it with satisfaction; witnesses were summoned from this city, and Geo. J.. Miller the "head cen tre" of the attacking party was called to tha front. "The king of IVanee with twenty thousand men, marcheJ up the hill, and then marehel down again." and no metaphor better describes Dr. Mil ler's adver-t at Lincoln. He came, heard the evidence of a hilf dizen witnesses. Geo. Suiith among the num ber, and went home again, and the in vestigation dropped for want of pros ecution, the committee exonerated all parties concerned oy a unanimous vote iind the first act in liie farce ended Let us add the state settled the bill. Meanwhile another luanufacturer of democratic capdirf, Xrom a free trade stand point, ptt-ses in review; a mod ern Iago, posSTising all the qualifica tions of Unit character, with the ex ception that Pago was bright- and brainy.

This example of il e second birth, this ant i uioiiopoli.-i in conjunction with the successful legislative investi gator took the matter of stealings from government into the I'nited States grand jury. It seemed a glorious op poitunity. a golden i pji.'i i uni y tocie ate democratic capital, that would count in the coiiflng si ssion of the legislature. 'Ihe ii.quny into the Surveyor General's office, its vvoikings and its management was loi.g pro-ir.u-tid and complete. The liiaml jury heald all the evidence, what had been done, anil what h.ul been heaid tell of; they lotiitl ins", there had been no money stolen, that everything Lad been done under the law, that the sur vey s for the last y ear had been made, Hi.it Mr. Fail field was the contractor, that government approve.! the con tract and the eon li act pi ice, and the work w:is well done ami approved by government, an 1 Mr. Frirti- hi rtceived his pay; that he made profu on his emit l act :.ml th-it he dispostd of those profits, ami that both in the securing of the, profits on his year's work, and his disposal of the same, v. as neither criminal, unlawful or stealing. Fur ther they found nothing against Sur veyor It nc ral Suiith ; no money s'.olwii, no mismanagement of his office, no crookedness, and they sj decided by dismissing the chaiges, lu vo;ing aye, 5 nay, 1 blank; and the government paid the bill. ; We have waited long and patiently for this grand final; this end of the fraud hunt of the democratic party afU r democratic capital. Jury Salim Mor;oii can ponder over the glory lie had won; and the viscious attacks that have been made upon Gen Smith ami his management will rest. The I". S. giud jury by its findings has given the lie to those who have slandered Grn. Smith in his official capacity. Democracy has at government expense used its last efforts to create capital for Mr. Moiton ami its pai'ly. and gov ernment, expense has been paid by government. The truth prevails, and Gel. end Smith who has borne the brunt of the attacks and falsehoods is vindicated by that same truth.

Robinson, a member of the Illinois board of railroad commis sioners, is viitinr in Lincoln, and iu an interesting interview with him yesterday the Journal gleaned much information as te the working of the commissioner in that state. The Illinois law confers more ex-le-Hsivc power upon the commission than thatofauy other 6tatc, n power in Mr. Robinson's opinion rather too far-reaching for absolute safely, but so Jar, owing to ihe good sense aiiel eliserctiou of the boaid, this power has beeii modestly exercised to the sal if faction of the coplc, without in justice to the corj oration. The Illin ois law fixes maximum rates, forbids discrimination as to iudividuais ami localities, and gives the arrangement of schedules to the discretion of the commission, makis the boarel the me dium between the people .ml the railroads, ami Ihe result has been the entire disappearance lroni the politics of Illinois of the iiuti-inonop," "gran ger," or alliance disturbances. Illin ois, liie Ijwa nml Wisconsin, first tried the expediency ot undertaking to regulate by self-enforcing statutes, and the results eminently unsatisfac tory, as they have ben wherever tried ! Today everv individual, board of I ratio or business committee that has a grievance of any kind, whether it be as to the classes, sehednie or an overcharge on a carload of corn, get. a remedy without the cost of a dollar in litigation. T4ie case is laid belore the board, is examined, by it carefully ami if found to be substantiated 1V the fujts, a formal iio'iJie-aliou is sent lo Ihe corporation complained of to the effect that it inusl refund the over charge, amend the cheditlcs, or dis-e-mitiutie ihe discrimination or other violation, of Ihe lw and the rule of the commission, or fciiit for the peual iv will be forthwith brought. In I lid three-years that the commission has been in existence, only in three in suuees have Hie corporations failed lo conic to time and make the resti tution demanded or I lie i-haues rc tpiired, without litigation. The three suits brought hove becu decided in favor of the board, and it i tdo opin ion of Mr. Robinson that the cost of litigation in the future under ihe commission law will be very small. Dae of these test ruses the Journal has alreadv uoiiced. It was as to rates between Peoria and a poir-out side the state, where dicriiiii between local 'miaiues men IW!1 bli-hed. The railroad company denied the righ of the board of the state or Illinois to inlrrfer-3 iu tho mat. or of IVcIrIiIs that 'crossed Iho Hate line. The board elaimed that a tho rates were made at Peoria ami the charges paid there, it had authority under the law to regulate ami tijualize them. Tho circuit court decided the case ogainiit tho .board,, but tho su preme cmrt of the tdato rovcisol the decision and tent the case back for a new trial. It will probably go to the Uuiteel States supreme court eventu ally, and if the decision of the state supreme court is sustained, a question is settled that will greatly simplify the relations between the state aud tho railroads, and state commissions will havo jurisdiction over the entire subject of railroad transportation.
