DOCTOR MILLER says "the citizens
of good character and citizenship are
anxious for a strong city government
here. " Who are these citizens ? Are
they or are they not the very few men
of wealth who "cringe the pregnant
hinges of the knee" in your sandum
sandorum "that thrift may fol
low fawning ? " Are they the few who
wonld repudiate every honest debt of
Omaha unless the working men pay
the taxes for it.
Tin : value of independence in mu
nicipal politics is clearly shown by the
' late elections in Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh , where the citizens , with
out reipect to party affiliations , united
in selecting men to fill the city offices
whom they knew to be honest and in
corruptible. It has been well said
that bad municipal government al
most always grows out of the miring
of national and state politics with city
affairs. Municipal politics , as far as
possible , should bo independent of
national politics. It matters little tea
a tax-piver whether the city officers
are democrats or republicans as long
as they are honest , competent men ,
who will give the city the best possible
government at the lout possible ex
pense. These are the most Important
qualifications for municipal officers
and should be studied before the
question of party iies is agitated.
TEE city council should at au early
day take steps to extend tbe provis

ehells which to-day would be little
better thau frame structures in confining - >

of a building commissioner , to whom of
all plans of otracturei within the lim

boom which ahe has ever experienced.
A number of business homos are til-
ready under contract. Brick shells
should not bo permitted to deface our
streets and menace the lives and prop ,
erty of their Inmates and neighbors.
Let the city council pass an ordinance

having a determined thickness. Let

A TEHHtHLE INDICTMENT.
The National Anti-Monopoly
League which was organized on the
1st of the presant month in New York
city by leading merchsnb and proper
ty owners of the metropolis has pub
lished an address to the people setting
forth tbe aims and intentions of its
founders , the principle upon which it
is based 'and the object which it
has In view. The address is one of
the most terrible indictments of cor
porate monopolies which has ever been
laid before the American public and
TUB BEE will take pleasure at some
future day in priming it in full in it's
columns. The address presents the
following charges against the mo
nopolies :
They have undertaken the consoli
dation of tbe railroads , with the pur
pose cf destroying competition
and subjecting commerce to rates
established by themselves ; They
have laid hands upon the tee !
graph , and , by the absorption of all
the companies into one , propose to de
stroy competition , and to pay divi
dends upon watered stock by taxing
communication between fifty millions
of people.
Their agents infest tbe lobbies of our
capitels , bribing our legislators and
framing our laws. Our hslls of legis
lation made centres of
are stock-gamb
ling iu which votes are given ns a con
sideration for illegitimate gains. They
pervade oolitical parties and shape
their platforms. Tcey buy the flec
tion cf senators and judges with money
extorted from the people. They cend
their attorneys to be judges of our
courts , and take them agzdu Into ser
vice , at princely salaries , when they
resign ; and they intend to secure the
control cf the executive , judicial and
Isgialative departments of our govern
ment.
They have accumulated wealth ,
reprecented by scores of millions of
dollars , by grinding the faces of the
wage-earners they employ , and by
practices which have driven multitudes
of bettor men Into poverty. In what
history is it written , in what country
was It ever poccible , that such for
tunes could be gathered by auch men ,
by the use of euch means ?
They have demoralized commerce ,
making legitimate business a lottery
and infecting the community with the
spirit of gambling.
They substitute the machine politi
cian for the statesman. They control
conventions which ignore vital ques
tions and magnify immaterial issues.
We charge upon these monopolists
the intent to increase their gains and
perpetuate their power by organized
resistance to appointed authority ,
and treason against their government.
They Intend to control our judges ,
and to disobey such indicia ! orders as
they do not apnravo until they can
reverse them.
It is not to be expected that these
men should declare their purposes. It
is enough that their acts lead'to nulli
fication as their logical conclusion.
Open avowal has come earlier than
was expected.
OPEN AVOWAL.
On the 27th day of January , 1880 ,
the president of the Philadelphia and
Beading railroad , in an argument be
fore the committee on commerce of
the house o ! representatives of the
United States , in Washington , said :

BY E. A. DAVIS.
[ Filth piper. ]
Suppar over , a dozan or more In
dians gathered about the fire , the pipa
waa lighted , and after a whiff upward
to propitiate the Great Spirit , and a
whifl downward to the spirit of evil ,
by the first smoker , the pipe was pass
ed around the circle , each taking
few whiffs , whites included , when
each person who felt so inclined pro
ceeded to fill his individual pipe , and
tbe smoking became general. Not a
word was spoken for some moments.
The stoical red men smoked silently ,
with steady gaze upon the fire before
thsm. They seemed to be utterly
forgetful of our presence. It was a
fine study of character for me. I had
never read of anything like my pres
ent surroundings , because the most ol
the books on Indian life that I had
perused were written by per
sons whe never had any ex
perience themselves among the rod
men , especially the Western Indians ,
who are n distinctive type from Coop
er's ideal savage , and resemble Coop-
er'g creations only in physique and
dress. I once heard an old darkey
say , "a nigger will be a nigger , boss ,
no matter whar you put him ; " and
I suppose an Indian will bo an Indian
the world over. The eastern Indians
were braver than the western Indians
of to-day ; there is no jinestion about
this. And In the early days of the
eastern states tbe reds and the whites
wcro nearly evenly balanced as to
numbers. When the whites began to
get very numerous the Indians formed
a confederation of nations or tribes to
fight them , and the struggle waa
fierce and desperate. Charles
McKnlght , writing of thoao day ? ,
says , "it was a dogged , savage and
desperate struggle between two bravo
and jealous races ; the whites fighting
for room tnd opportunity to live and
thrive , and the Indians
for what they deemed their own
soil and hunting grounds. "
And every man who went out upon
those borders carried bis life in his
hands ; liable at anytime to be shot or
tomahawked from every tree that
could cover a lurking foe ; his home
and family constantly exposed to the
merciless attacks of a savage , wily and
implacable'enemy. Each knew that
it was "war to the knife and the knife
to the hilt , " and worked , idled or
slept with his trusty blade or rifle
within easy grasp. We often shud
der when , sitting by our quiet fire
sides , we read of the desperate com
bats between such mighty hunters as
Gcard and Cumminga and the fero
cious lions , tigers and other wild
beasts , whose jungles they have gone
long distances to penetrate. But
what are the fiercest and most Infuri
ate of all animals that ever crouched tea
a leap , compared with the subtle and
desperate American savage , perfectly
at home in hla native wilds , with all
his destructive wits sharpened to an
extraordinary acuteness ; taught from
childhood to find life's highest honors
iu killing and scalping , and trained in
every possible wile to lure or ensnare
a foe.
foe.Now
Now this description of the Amer
ican Indian as he ice * , does not ro-
sembla the noble red man as ha is to
day. It does not fit our Pawnees , or
Omahaa , or Poncaa , which the old settlers
tlors of Nebraska wore for years
brought in daily contact with. And
as the history of those red men are ne
cessarily a part and parcel cf the early
history of Nebraska , it is proper to
bring them prominently before the
people in these papers. In fact , the
early history of the atato would bo a
blank were they left out Besides ,
there are multitudes of hoth.old and
young people in Nebraska , * who have
came-hero since the early days , who
are ignorant of the habit"rnd customs
of the Indians who once owned and
lived on the lauds they now occupy ,
And the multitudes to come after will
want to know something of the prlmi
tivo owners and occupants of the
soil.
soil.But
But to return to the Pawnee vil
lage.Tho
The Indians smoked on iu silence
until their pipes gave out and then
they suddenly became communicative ,
lively and talkative. I could not have
been told from one of the tribe , as I
sat there almost bid in buffalo robes ,
and through the half-breed interpreter
they asked me how I felt , after my
ducking. I replied that I wea quite
comfortable , but would rather nave
en dry clothes than ba smothered in
zobes. Then they all langheJ , and
kept up a running conversation for
some ; tlmo , lighted their pipes and
again relapsed into silence.
The ledge or house we were In was
one of the largest in the village , and
the residence of "Spotted Tail , " a
chief of the "Podab Horsodah" band
of Pawnee ) . He was a noted warrior ,
had been to Washington , and was well
acquainted with the strength and
numbers of the whites. He showed
me a medal with General Jackson's
bust on it , and another containing the
likeness of President Harrison , I
think. I asked him if he &au aany
whita men on. his journey east , and
ho replied that the white men and
white men's houses were aa numerous
as the blades of grass on Cho prairies.
Then he gave a very amusing account
In sign language of his rides on steam
boat 3 , cars and Dmnibusses , in which
ho imitated the screech of the locomo
tive whistloj the peculiar motion of the
train , the ring of the boat bell and
motion of the wheels , and the do-
Hphifnl jogging of the American om
nibus , which is , perhaps , equal to the
"jogging of the jaunting Irish car. "
During this time , a number of In
dians had , unobserved to na , entered
the lodge and squatted ia a circle' ' , en
some robes , about twenty feat from
where we eat. The first warning we
bad of their presence waa a series of
yells , and the discordant beating of
in Indian drum. We sprang to our
feet in an Instant , when ourhilf-broed
"riond informed ui that the Indians
were going to havo" dance in honor
of their recant great feat in-despoiling
their enemies , the Sioux.
We went over to where { he fun waste
to take place , and stood on the "outer
circle of a large ring , composed of
lechana twenty or moro Pawnees ,
naked , and htdaoudy punted up.
Ono of them had a dram , made by
stretching a ekin over a small keg ;
several cf them had long reed
whistles , some held towahawka in
their hands , and other * bsws and ar
rows. Soon the dancing began , and
the infernal music end bloodcurdling
ling yella accompanying It fairly
m.ida i my hair stsad on end. The
Indians threw themselves into all
manner of grotesque attitudes , would
dance and howl until tiroi , when they
would set down and others tnke their
places , in the "giddy mszes. "
Presently two beautiful young
squiws were brought forward and
placed In the centra of the ring. They
wore the handsome , dainty , braided
Sioux moccasin , were tastily dressed
and wera by far the most comely fe
male Indians I had ever teen. The
interpreter informed us that these
wore the Sioux sqnaws captured by
the Pawnees on their recent raid , and
that they were to sing their docth
song , ss it had besn decided to put
them to death. These girls , perhaps
18 year * of age , looked sorrowful and
downcast. They sang a plaintive Sioux
chp.r.t together , mournfnl in cadenca ,
and wonderfully touching. Of course
we did not understand the words , but
knew the purport of them , and wo
were angry and indignant at their
cruel cfcptora , though wo said nothing.
These Sioux girls were different in fea
ture and form from the ucly ; , ill-
shaped Pawnee souawa , being slender
of build , with handsome Roman fea
tures and graceful movements , In a
moment after seeing them , Cooper a
"ideal Indian maiden" hauntei my
mind , and the atory of "Hiawatha"
flashed acrosa my vision. They were
as handsome aa any picture , whether
written or painted , I had scon , and I
longed to be able to set them at lib
erty.
erty.boon they wore taken away the danc
ing ceased , quletnesa reigned , and the
Indians began to prepare for bed.
They gave us an excellent couch of
skins , on which we rested wall , and
were soon in the land cf dreams.
In the nigit I waa taken with a
violent colic , and had to arouse my
companions. They awakened Joet
'the half breed , who found out what
waa the matter with me , and hurrying
from the lodge , he soon returned with
a boltle which he handed me , together
with a tin spoon and some water.
Imagine my surprise to find that I
held in my hand a bottle of "Perry
Da via'Pain Killer 1" I would aa soon
have thought of asking for a copy
of the American Encyclopedia , us
to have asked for Pain
killer in that place. I Imagined the
Indian wonld bring me some secret
preparation known only to the trlbo ,
and been uaed-by them for colic for
centuries. Then I would buy or beg
the perscrlption , learn how to make
it , go east , compound the remedy and
publish a book telling how I discover
ed the wonderful medicine during a
residenca among the wild aborigines
of the far west !
That's the way a number of miser
able patent nostrums are now adver
tised , and a swindled and gulled pub
lic swallow both the stories and the
medicines at the "low'1 pries of a dollar
lar a bottle.
The medicine helped mo , and by
morning I waa quite well , but weak.
Before leaving the village we triad
to ransom the Sioux captives. We
offered revolvers , watches , rifles and
even our ponies , but the Pawnooa re
fused all our overtures , and said they
would not part with the girla. We
wrote to the Pawnee Indian agent at
Nebraska City to Intercede in behalf
of the girl captlvea , but we never
heard from him , nor did wo Icarh the
fate of the unfortunates.
Wo were piloted back across the
rlvec by an Indian , almost the entire
population of the vlllsge being out to
see us off. And whenever one of our
ponies wonld stumble into a hole In
the treacherous quicka&nda they would
break forth In peala of laughter and
loud yella.

When Commodore Vanderbilt began !
the weld he hid nothing , and them '
were no steamboats or railroads. He
thirty-five years old when the firat
locomotive waa put Into use in Amer
ica. When he died , railroads had be
come the greatest force in modern in
dustry , and Vanderbilt waa the rich-
eat man of Europe orAmerica ; , and
the largest owner of railroads in the
world. He used the finest business
brain of his day and the franchise of
the state to build up a kingdom with
in the republic , and like a king he be
queathed his wealth and power to his
eldest son. Bancroft's history of the
United States and our railroad system
were begun at the same time. The
history u yet unfinished , but the
railroads oweon stocks and
bonds § 4,600,000,000 , more than
twice our national debt of § 2,220-
000,000 , and tax the people annually
§ 490,000,000 , one and a half times
more than the government's revenue
last ye of § 274,000,000. Moro than
any other class , our railroad men have
developed the country , and tried ita
institutions. The evasion of almost
all taxes by the New York Cenlral
railroad has thrown upon the people
of Now York state more than a fair
aliure of the cost of government , ana
illustrates some of the methods by
which the rich are making the poor
poorer. Violations of trust by Credit
Mobiliers , Jay Gould's wealth and the
poverty of Erie stockholders , such
corruption of legislatures as gave the
Pacific Mail subsidies , and nicknamed
New Jersey "The state of Cumden
and Amboy , " are sins against public
and private faith on a scale impossi
ble in the early days of republics and
corporations. A * lawsuit still pend
ing , though begun ten years ago by a
citizen uf Chicago , to recover the
value of baggage destroyed by the
Pennsylvania railroad ; Judge Ihr-
natd'a midnight orders for the Erie
ring- ; io surrender of its judicial in
tegrity by the-snpreme court of Penn-
tylrania at the bidding of the Penn
sylvania railroad , as charged before
congress by President Gowon , of the
Reading railroad ; the veto by the
Standard oil company of the en
actment of a law by the Pennsyl
vania legislature to carry oat the pro
vision of the constitution of the state
that every one should hava equal
rights on the railroads those are a
few of the many things that have hap
pened to kill the confidence of our clt-
izeas In the laws s d the administra
tion of justice. No other system of
taxation has borne as heavily on the
people as those extortions and inc qual
ities of railroad charges which ciueod
the granger outburst in the west , and
the recent uprising in New York. In
the actual physical violence with
which railroads have taken
their rights of way through more than
one American city , and in the railroad
strikes of 1870 and 1877 with the an
archy that came with them , there are
social disorders we hoped never to see
in America. These incidents in rail
road history show most of the points
where wo fail , as between man and
msn , employer and employedthe pub
lic and the corporation , the state and
the citizen , to maintain the equities
of "government" and employment
"of the people , by the people , for
the people. "
Our treatment of "the railroad
problem" will show the quality and
calibre of our political sense. It will

lines of our social and political growth.
It may indicate whether the Ameri
can democracy , like all the democratic
experiments which have prccoeded it
