"When the movement aKainwt Gov ernor Savngo wan started , It canto us n spontaneous uprising of the people against nu ofllcor who wonlil HBO a pub- lie position to accomplish personal ends it was the public's ( Usnpprovnl of the aiothocls cmployctl by the man occupyIng - Ing the governor's chair. At that time It wan not known what position would T9o token by the railroad politicians of the utnto , or whether they would sldo ono way or the other nor , may it bo truthfully said , was it cared. The people plo had boon outraged and disgraced by the man they had unfortunately elected * o bo nontenant governor and who IB course of ovcuta had boon advanced to bo chief executive. While the people plo were indignant and not afraid to ex press that indignation , they did not ex pect or look for help from the railroads in their fight against the corruption which would permit of the pardoning of Battle y , but they are not unmindful of the assistance that may bo rendered by those same railroads , and if the story published In the Sioux Olty Tribune from its Lincoln correspondent is true , then substantial help is to oomo from the Elkhoru and Union Pacillo in the effort to clear the state of corrupt of ficials. Following is the story of the Lincoln correspondent , and it is given for what it ifl worth : "Tho biggest factional flght in Ne braska's political history will bo pulled off during the next four months. The Union Paolflo and Elkhoru crowd of republican politicians have joined forces for the avowed purpose of putting the Burlington maohiuo out of busiucsa. "Tho Burlington has boon the biggest factor in republican politics for years It was never friendly towards the fu denials , as was the Ellchora , but it /ought consistently and for the ropubll cans alone. When thostato registered a verdict for the republicans the Bur lington folks moved up aud grahboc hold of the throttle. They have booi running things over since the first day of iJannary , 1001. They wore sidetrack odin the senatorial race 'by the Elk horn's pull upon just enough members to prevent the Burlington candidate from winning. Last fall the Elkhoru came down to the state convention witl its whole coutlgout for Barnes of Norfoll for , supreme jndgo. Thla was but a blind , aud the deal was to make Sodg wick judge and have Barnes succeed him as commissioner. The Burlington stood for Davidson , but kept in the dark M to the Elkhom's plans until too late to beat them too many of their men bad stood by Sedgwick to make it safe for them to attempt to dump him. "Slnco that fall the Burlington ma ahino has been strengthened and tighten d , and the outlook for the opposition to whack it to advantage was not good uu til the fatal mistake of Governor Savage in pardoning Joe Bartley. This is wha the opposition had boon working for It is no secret that the Burlington man agers were the men who converted Sav age to the belief that his salvation lay in pardoning the defaulting state treasurer He did so serene in the belief that it in cured his rouomlnation. 'The outburst of indignation nmazec kirn , but it delighted the anti-Burlington fellows. They are now uniting with the anti-Hartley pardon republicans wher ever it is possible which is in nearly every county , and they say that the Burlington will either have to withdraw Savage or go down with him. Lancaster aad Douglas counties have been claime < by the governor as certain to indorse hi position on the pardon question , bu that is not so euro. Hero in Lanoaste the morning republican paper has indulged dulgod in no comment on its part upon the pardon , but it bos been diligently printing all of the anti-Bartley , anti Savbge comments of the republican press Except among the politicians resentment hero is as deep as out in the state , and i will be impossible to prevent someone presenting resolutions to th next county convention condemning the pardon and asking that the delegation be instructed to vote against the renom ination of Savage. This may bo side tracked by instructing for a local man for state trensnrer.but it will be a risky undertaking. "The Elkhorn makes no attempt to disguise its purpose. The men in chorg of its politics , B. White , R. B. Bchnolde and N. D. Jackson say they are going to whip the Burlington out of its boots mash its machine and compel it to re tire from politics. The reason they as ign is that the Burlington has made i impossible for the big men of the stat to secure official position , that it pick out for governor and senators , men wh are of mediocre ability , men who are willing to do as they are told and as o questlonn. Thin they propose to hnngo. They insist , Unit they desire nly the purification of the party and hat. once accomplished they will resign lie reins of power themselves and step own. The Burlington follows laugh t this , and say it is simply n flght to replace ono machine with another of ItfToront brand. "A weekly paper that may change ator to n dally has boon established for ho puriKtso of carrying the war Into the ) nrllngton territory , and a well known Clkhorn political writer , Frank A. liar * Ison , put in chargo. "LuuottHtor county is the keystone of ho Burlington arch. Without this ounty It would not out much of a figure n state conventions. Hero in the nu- cloous of any combination , and It has al ways worked heretofore. If thn county a wrested from the Burlington Its jig is up , and the Bartloy pardon is the only hlng that will work this wonder , If Sav age is still in the race nt convention lino. "Tho opinion hero is that Savage will not last many more weeks , and that the allroads will have to drop him before ouvotition time. " JAPANESE ARE DRIVEN OUT. Take Places of Striking Miners , Who Forced Them to Depart. Florence , Colo. , Feb. 14. The trou- ) lo bot-wocn the Victor Fuel company and tin miners employed nt its coal mines at Chandler , near this city , cul- mlnatud In an attack on Japanese min ers who had taken the places of the strikers and the demolition of the uoanllnR house usad by the Japanese. The mob drove the Japanese out of tlio camp. The affair occurred after a meotluK of utrlhcni , at which It was decided to send an ultimatum to the Victor Fuel company domandlutf the removal of th'o Japanese. A report was circulated In the mootlnB , which was largely attended , that 200 Japa nese were on their way to the Chand ler mines , and this so enraged the strikers that they docldod to nt once rid the community of the Japanese. The attack occurred about midnight , and It has not yet boon learned it any- ono was seriously hurt , although tlio Japanese were roughly handled. DECISION ON CATTLE SALES. Kansas City Court Holds Commission Men Not Liable In Casts of Theft. Kansas City , Fob. 14. A decision of considerable Importance to cattle commission dealers has boon made by the Kansas City court of appeals. The court decides that commission dealers cannot bo compelled to pay for stolen cattle which they may have sold. Hundreds of stolen cattle are sold at the stock yards annually. When the commission men have no means ol ascertaining that the cattlo" offered to them for sale are stolen , it Is a presumption - sumption that the cattle belong to the mon' shipping thorn. Under this de cision the commission men are held not liable for the sale of stolen cattlo. This reverses the general practice at the stock yards. For years purchasers of cattle have boon compelling the commission men to make good such losses. Thousands of dollars have been paid out annually by commission men In reimbursing purchasers of stolen cattlo. Sioux City Water Works Case. Sioux CltFob. . 14.
