It Is to be moat sincerely hoped J hat
th present legislative session will
let its real destroy its Judgment
not
and
consequently destroy all good wMch
might result from the session. There
is a new element in the legislature this
session called anti-monopoly, and if
one were to judge fioin Xhe statements
of some of their members, they are lu
Lincoln but for one purpose, and that
Is to light corporations. They have no
party allegiances, 110 duties outside
aud appear to think that ihey'ure not
responsible to their constituents for
any purpose but to light corporations.
If a party caucus is talked in which
members of their own party can dis
cuss plans for work, which shall result
in national as well as state good, mem
bers stand back aud say without the
component pans of the caucus agree
to tight corporations they will neither
talk or vote with them. In fact the
whole drift of the desires of some of
this new party in politics seems to be,
not to act justly and fairly with que
'.ions as they may arise, not to look
calmly over the Held and repair dan
gerous places in a npirit of equity and
justice to all parties but rather to raise
a howl that is hark from (.the tombs
and go iu to fight corporations without
a thought of after results or without
seeuiiugty to recognize the fact that
any man to be ,1 legislator must be
level headed enough not to go crazy on
any one subject; for the .iat is not
built up of any one class to the exclu
sion of all others, and a mij in nuy
direction is always to lie condemned.
If any of the present legislature,
among those who announce their sole
aud only purpose in goii.g to Lincoln
as being to tight corpoiatiufis, are un
acquainted with history, a little uuaw
inaljon will show them that in every
instance when a legislative body ha-"
met (or a light like that aud gone into
the panic, that the results have always
been most miserable faijure and re
acted on themselves and tin people.
Thcrj is legislative action regarding
corporations needed but tliwirf is no
fight in the legislature on any question
necessary, in the light that it is placed
by men who become so carried away
by their own importance uwl faction
alism that they announce in udvamis
that Iheir Hole purpose and interest is
to make a continuous light on one
branch of progress in the state and to
further their ends refund to noik in
line with the political parlies wlia
eUcted them without biinging all
down to a luvel which would make the
duty of the present session simply and
soley that of lighting corporations and
to gratify such demagogues as Hone 4
ter.Guerrilla, Ashby.et al. who through
the weakness of men who will be iu
rlueuced by them hope to gain glory.
When the present legislature gets
down to such a plane that its object
aud being seems to be to ight any in
dustry or corporation at the expand
of exact justice to nil, the Hekali
hopes the Cass county delegation will
ataud from under and let the mongrel
outgrowth i,f such a spirit test where
it properly belongs.
It ia very pleasant reading, these
days, to take up John A Logan's vig
orous speeches in the United States
senate, aud especially his speech iu the
old time worn and disreputable Fitz
John Porter case, which speech rings
with the true ring and tells more
wholesome truths nd deducts more
solid facts from the evidence in Uit
case 'ban U. S. Grant, or any other
American citizens, can refute if a cen
lury were given them to do it in.
Gen. Grant has taken occasion at
divers times simce he descended from
the presidential chair to aid the friends
of Fitz John Porter in getting that at
one time olllcial, reinstated in the army
from which he was dishonorably dis
charged. These a'dings and abettings
cumulated in an article in the North
American Review in which the ex
preridtnt, with much flourish, proceed
ed to give his reasons for changing his
former actions and his grounds fur so
doing. Senator Logan, iu a letter to
the Chicago Tribune, answered this ar
ticle completely aud nothing further
has been heard from Grant on the sub
ject. It has, however, remained for
Mr. Login in ih L'nited States senate
to present th facts that prove Grant's
position false and faulty, and also to
present an array of new evidence,
clear, concise and backed by volumes
ot testimony, that in themselves are
proofs sufficient to forever bar any
man from taking sides with Fitz John
Porter, in ordeJ to reinstate hiaa iu a
position that he disgraced through
jealousy and cowardice. Gen'l Logan's
speech was so replete with facts and
statements beyond contradiction that
we will probably be not soon again
afflicted with an article from Gen'l
Grant who ought to oppreciate his po
ailion charging facts favorable to
Porter that Mr. Logan proves false in
evidence and false in every tactic of
military rule.
It is said the Mo. Pacific and the
Wabasli are to be consolidated at an

Ing by far the most extensive system

the great corn belt to the north w here

If Dr. Miller has not made sufllcient

The IIkkami hat called attention
before to the fact that never a wiuter
passes over a city the size of Platts
mouth ttia; there were not those who
through misfortunes and sicknesi were

ings. The Herald, from reports re
ceived, finds that the present year is
no exception, that there are those who
have in their misfortunes had need
for aid and assistance to keep soul and
body together and who have children
who without help must suffer; these
facts come to our notice from time to
time and with them conies the ad
ditional fact and a most pleasant one.
that there are those who ate giving
the help and in that way demonstrat
ing their practical Christianity which
unnoticed and unknown to the vast
majority of people, to Him who holds
tho balances, their deeds are full meas
ure and overflowing. No one, scarcely
stops to realize when they say, "send
them to the county house." that peo
ple reduced by sickness and misfortune
have a pride that we all possess, that
leads them to suffer sickness and hard
ships iu silence rather than complain.
Those w ho at such times are quietly
helping, are doing something and the
Hkkalu knows there are a goodly
number of such in the city. "A chart
ty of such kind has a hope as certain
as the mere under the blue night sky

Rei'L'hlicans need not borrow un
necessary trouble and worry for fear
that they will RQt eject a United
States senator this winter. The organ
ization of the legislature has shown
that the republicans have a working
majority on joint ballot, and there are
at h'.ast ten anti-monopolists who have
been formerly tao weJJ instilled with
the principles of that party, they have
marched too often to victory " with it
and are all together too republican in
spirit to elect a moss back bourbon to

A1.1. the Herald said a week ago
about lighting this city w ith gas, and
the ci:y receiving a proposition from
the Philadelphia company, who are
negotiating with the city of Omaha, is
worth remembering. The" Herald
believes it is the very best answer to
the ijuestion of ljpw this city shall be
lighted, that can be made. Cheaper
than oil, and laid at evry man's door
in the corporation, without a dollar's
expense to the city, except a fifty year
franchise, it is worth more than pas
sing attention it is '.vorth securing if
possible.
MERCHANTS and business men are

It is a fortunate thing for hotel
