t3be Conservative
, T. Sterling Morton Df the United
States has just hurt ii very great mark
tif HuiitJr shown him by a foreign nation.
frlio Argentine Republic of South Amer
ica , desiring to organize a bureau or De
partment of Agriculture- that state ,
modeled on the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture , has informally
invited Mr. Morton to organize the de
partment. It is said a satisfactory com
pensation would be forthcoming should
the first citizen of Nebraska undertake
the arduous journey across the equa
torial zone , and the difficult task , of un
certain termination , at the other end.
It is not certain , however , that a pot of
gold is a seductive allurement to one
who as a Nebraska democrat has at
least three times engaged in a rainbow
chase. But to have been thought
worthy to lay the foundation of the
governmental Department of Agricul
ture in an ambitious foreign state is an
honor any American would appreciate ,
and would not refuse without excellent
reason , even though it should expatriate
him during the whole of a political cam
paign. Nebraska Farmer.
When Po3'nter shall have been elected
governor and a populist legislature shall
have re-elected Allen to the senate and
that great and good man , who would
not vote for another cents' worth of an
interest-bearing United States debt ,
shall have purchased all the railroads
with the money out of his own pocket
and given them to the United States ,
to man , operate and control ; and then
with the small change which shall have
been left in his capacious pocket shall
have purchased the South Omalui stock
yards and presented them to the state ,
what delightful flush times , with loads
of silver dollars being dumped into
everybody's cellar , all bright and fresh
from Uncle Sam's mint , the dear people
will revel in and enjoy. And then
when everybody has been made rich
by legislation the joys of Paradise
will be unable to compete for patrons
with the beatitudes of populism.
Railroads in Nebraska bought by the
government and managed by the leaders
of populism , in connection with the
South Omaha stock yards , which Sena
tor Allen and Mr. Poynter propose to
purchase and operate , are destined to be
come a great economic success.
The railroad department at Lincoln , it
is rumored , will be placed in charge of a
board of officials which is to include the
the warden of the penitentiary ; Mr.
Schwind , the champion fee-and-salary
drawer ; and the superintendents of the
insane asylums of the state.
Under such excellent control , and
managed by such rare , experienced and
formidable abili ty who can doubt the
coming betterment of the railroads , the
benefactions to the public and the tre
mendous reduction of rates ?
