THE change of tb < j ward boundaries
as proposed by the committees of the
council was entirely inadequate to
meet the public wants. This was
shown no less by the general disatis-
faction expressed on the streets by
citizens , than by the very unanimous
vote of the. council at their last meet
ing. Any chSnge in the present boun
daries should be made in a manner
which will .not only equalize the pres
ent voting population In the various
wards but will also make provision for
the constant groTrth of the city and
extension of the line of population
'toward the city limits. The argument
for changing ward boundaries does not
rest alone on the failure of single polling
placesHo meet the requirements of a
full vote. This can be remedied by the
establishment of additional polling
places. But the growth of our popu
lation is extending itself In * certain di
rections which Is yearly increasing Ihe
vote of the Gth , 4th and 2nd wards
over that of the 3rd and 1st. It is
neither just or right that a ward hav
ing a poll list offive hundred voters
should have equal representation in
the city council with one pollingtwelve
hundred or fifteen hundred votes.
This inequality which is very notice
able at present will become mere and
acre marked yearly. On this ground
It would seem that some division of
the wards other than the present Is
cot only advisable but necessary.
THE swarm of office seekers which
sjre now crowding the executive man
sion and besieging the doors of the
various departments at Washington
re likely to afford President Garfield
sfc early opportunity to test his theory
of civil vervioe reform.
. So far as can
bescertalned , there are likely to be
even fewer changes In the subordi
nate positions nnder the general
government at Washington than
% was the caw upon the accession of Mr.
. - * * Hayes to the presidency. Efficient
i / erviee is
surely the beet recom-
iaendation _ for eontlaaed 'tenure of
office and there is little doubt that
this fast will 'be fully recognized by
the Hew administration Nor will
predjadlce or personal antagonism
weigh with the new president In his
exercise of the appointive powef.
The crowning mistake of the Lite ad
ministration was the removal of Gen
eral Woodford from the position which
he had so highly honored , merely for
the gratification of a personal spite
against Senator Conklbg and his fol
lowing In New York state. This mis
take General Garfield will not repeat.
On the other hand the new execu
tive and his cabinet will find many
positions whose occupants should be
removed In the Interests no less of the
people than rf the administration.
Public servants who have forgotten
that offices are not created solely for
the personal aggrandizement of office
holders , and who from long tenure or
otherwise , have become inattentive to
the wants and needs of the public ,
will doubtless be given an opportuni
ty to hand in their resignation or give
way to more efficient successors.
Wirn-tbe appointment and confirm
ation of the cabinet the great drama of
office-seeking , which has been on the
boards since it was known that Garfield -
field was elected , reached its climax ,
and by degrees the nation will settle
down again into the peace which it Is
fortunate enough to enjoy on an aver
age of about three years out of
four. Looking over the feverish
Bcrsmble which , starting from the
four quarters of 'the nation ,
centered for many months at Mentor ,
and later at Washington , one cannot
say that the picture Is admirable from
any point of view. If the turbulent ,
jostling aspirants were intent merely
on serving their country , the case
would be different and we might con
gratulate ourselves upon a noble army
of patriots. But out of oil the candi
dates for appointive offices it is not *
probable that a single one was ani
mated by any feeling other than that
selfish ambition. To get "the other
fellow out" and to get himself In to
enjoy either the emoluments or the
political power of the office , has been
the motive of every one of them. Not
a single ray of unselfishness or pa
triotism of nobility illnmlnate the
darkness of the picture. [ Republican.
This U the most unkindest cut of
all What must Phlneas W. Hitch
cock think of this sweeping statement
of the basis of his aspirations for pub
lic office ? Even if "to get the other
fellow out and to get himself in" was
his sole motive , how cruel that the
secret should be exposed by his own
organ to the gaze of a
suspicions and not over
partial public. How ill advised to
publish the motives that actuated
that literary bureau in their efforts to
foist a political corpse into the ad
ministration arena , and to boldly an
nounce when the effort was not a
success , that "not a single ray of un
selfishness or patriotism or nobility
Illuminates the darkness tjf the pic
ture. " What If the picture was "not
admirable from any point
of view. " What if out
of all the candidates for
appointive offices , it is not propable
that a single one was actuated by any
feeling other than that of selfish am
bition ? ' ' Is it necessary that the or

the claims of one of the unsuccessful
candidates , should tear aside the vail

THE railroad organs throughout the
country are taking up the cue of Stan
ford and Fink , and insisting that cor
porations should be treated by the
state on exactly the samg basis as in
dividuals.They urge that individual
merchants and business men are
granted every liberty in the conduct
of their private affairs un'.rammelledby
all restricting laws , excepting tbe great
law of self-interest and competition ,
which prevents injury to the public
and acts as the balance wheel to avar
ice and extortionate impulses. Even
were it for a moment admitted that a
corporation and an Individual could
be placed on the same footing , with a
due regard to the interests of the state ,
it would be an easy matter to chow
that they never have been governed
by the same laws of trade , and from
the very nature of their methods of
their methods of transacting business ,
never can be. The argument univer
sally used by the railroad consolidat-
era Is that competition among railroads
as a regulator of freight tariffs has
been a failure. When the slightest
semblance of competition begins to
show itself , pooling arrangements are
at once entered -into between the
roads on the ground that any compe
tition is demoralizing and unjust to
the public , and tends to fluctuating
rates which-other shippers are called
upon to equalize. Pooling
is not competition , even if
the pool la - made . by
competing lines. Experience has
shown that in railroading under the
present system of management , com
petition does notT compete , nor pub
lished tariffs afford protection to the
public. There Is absolutely no paral
lel between-ihe competition of trade
and the competition of railroads and
the railroad managers are fully-aware
of the fact. -
THE wholesale arrests in Ireland

William Windom , the new secretary
of'the treasury , is another Ohio man ,
having been born in B Imont county ,
that state , May 10 , 1827 , and Is now
very nearly 54 years of age. He re
ceived an academic education , and was
admitted to the bar in 1850. Two
years afterward he was elected prose
cuting attorney of Know county. In
1853 he moved to Minnesota , and In
1858 he was elected a representative
in congress. From that time to this
he has been a member of one or the
other branch of the National legisla
ture. In the XXXVIth congress he
served on the commltten on pub-
lie lands , in the XXXVIIth
on the committee ofrmbllo expendi
tures , and in the x x x y i TTth ha was
chairman of the commitee on Indian
affairs and of the special committee
which visited the Indian tribes of the
west in 1865. Ho was again at the
head of the committee on Indians' in
the XXXISth congress and was chair
man of the special committee on the
commissioner of Indian affairs. He
served on the committee on the death
of President Lincoln , and in 1866 was
a delegate to the Phlladelohia loyal
ists' convention. Trelve years of con
tinuous 'service in the house had
brought him prominently before the
eves of the people of Minnesota , and
on the death of United States Sena
tor 'Norton in 1870 , Mr. Wln-
ddm was appointed hfs suc
cessor. Ha was subsequently elected
for the term ending in 1877 , and reelected -
elected , serving as chairman of the
committee on enrolled bills , transpor
tation , and member of the committee
on appropriations. He is regarded as
pre-eminently a practical man , and
thoroughly 'conversant with the In
ternal commerce of the country , its
transportation by lake , river , canal ,
and rail , and theagricultuial interests
and resources of the country. At
the last republican national conven
tion he was prominently mentioned
in connection with the presidency ,
and the delegates from Minnesota
were instructed to vote for him.
' Personally , Mr. Windom is robust
in health , prepossessing In appear
ance , and genial and hospitable to a
degree that makes him very popular.
Robert Todd Lincoln , the only sur
viving child of Abraham Lincoln , is
37 years of age. He was born in
1843 , at Springfield , Illinois. He
fitted for college at Phillips' academy ,
Exeter , N. H. He entered Harvard
college , graduating in the summer .of
1864. The war was still In progress ,
and young Lincoln entered the army ,
taking a place on the staff of Gen.
Grant , with the rank of captain. He
served In Virginia through the
remainder of the war , and was
present at the surrender of Ap-
pomaitex. He then entered the Har
vard law school at Cambridge , and
punned the study of law. Complet
ing his law studies , he came to Chica
go , and shortly afterward , was ad
mitted to the Illinois bar. la 1872
he became the law partner of Edward
S. Isham , with whom he has remain
ed ever since. Politically he has al
ways been a staunch and rather rigid
republican. He has taken but little
Sart in politics , having no inclinations
i that direction.
He took no active part in politics
until last fall , when as between men ,
he favored Gen. Grant as the republi
can candidate for the presidency. He
was a member of the state convention
at Springfield , and was appointed a
delegate to the national convention ,
but gave np the place in favor of Ste
phen Douglas , jr. He was a pres
idential elector on the state ticket In
the last campaign.
He was married ia 1869 to a daugh
ter of Senator Harlan , and is
the father of three 'children.
Mr. Lincoln is regarded aa a young
man of great vigor , ability and exe

father , for his sound common sense
and good judgment , unaffected and
modest to a fault , and indefatigably
industrious , laborious and energetic in
all that ha undertakes.

Trying to Obscure the Issue.
K. T , Son.
The manifest disposition of the
public to abate some of the mist ob
vious and most grievous abuses of
railway management has awakened
the managers to a full sense of the
frailty of the tenure by which they
hold their self-assumed power to tax
according to their pleasure the busi
ness of this country , in the conduct
of which they are only one of the
agencies.
Mr. Jewett , of the Erie , early em
ployed the tervlees or Mr. George
Ticknor Curtis to answer Judge Black
and the chamber of commerce. Then
the Central Pacific road responded
through its president , Gov. Stanford ,
In a publication whose absurd assump
tions of railway superiority over the
state , the laws and the public interests
must have done the cause it was in
tended to serve a deadly injury. The
Tribune all along has been m a condi
tion little short of volcanic , and the
lesser organs of monopoly , main
tained from the private purses of the
magnates , or bv tributes nnder vari
ous disguises from the treasuries of
the companies , are equally exercised.
And last came Mr. Albert Fink , one
of the commissioners of the trunk
lines , with a special plea in behalf of
the abused railroads.
Unlike Mr. Jewett and Mr. Stan
ford , Mr. "Fink dees not claim the
legal right for the railroads totax the
people to the full extent of > helr abil
ity to pay , or that they are wholly
above and beyond the power of the
state. He prefers to join the issue
with the anti-monopoly league , and
its speakers at the Cooper Institute ,
on the question of fact , and he pro-
* * , *
dnces an array of most delusive figurcE
to show that the people have suffered
nothing whatever from the extortion
of the railroads ; that the latter are
not monopolies , and that the owners
of those properties are bubllo benefac
tors who have built up the country al
their private expense , and enriched
all other classes of traders while Im
poverishing themselves. His figures
exhibiting the earnings of the
whole mass of railways in the United
States , and the relation of those earn
ings to the original investment , as
sumed and returned , are well calcu
lated to mislead and muddle the In
quiring mind. So also with the ap
palling proportion of bankruptcy ,
But Mr. Fink is careful not to recog'
rdze the fact that the public contro
versy Is not with all or even a con
siderable proportion of the roads , but
with the great roads , with the mono
polizing roada In fact , with the trunk *
lines which he serves , and which in
their efforts to crush honest open com
petition have destroyed their rivals
and produced tha't widespread bank
ruptcy of which he complains.
Nor does he tell his reader that the
profit on the capital of those same
trunk lines , of which he makes still
another delusive exhibit , is reduced
by their eternal freight wars , and that
what is unjustly exacted from the pa
tient public goes to make up tke de
ficiencies occasioned by these tremendous
deus conflicts.
Nor does he say how much of the
legitimate profitsof railroading , which
in any honest system belong to the
shareholder , la absorbed by inside
Credit Moblller rings , fast freights ,
express companies , and similar
swindles.
If Mr. Fink will collate some au
thentic statistics on these points he
will meke himself very Interesting.
We might then be able to learn how
It Is that In the midst of the bank
ruptcy of many companies , which he
so pitifully deplores , the private for
tunes of men who build here and
wreck there grow into the hundreds of
millions , while the small shareholder
Is wiped out on the one hand , and the
small shipper la strangled on the
other.
EAELTDAYS IN NEBRASKA
Br E. A. DAVIS.
( Serenth Paper. )
The Immigrant was made disheartened
at the loss of his horses , and was
really in a bad fix. He wis neither
able to stay or go away. It was a sad
blow financially too , for the horses
were valued at $150 each , andwoulc
have readily sold them for that money
as they were large , able farm horses ,
perfectly sound uid gentle to handle
Their oTner intended to use them to
break prairie with Instead of oxen , and
would not have parted with them for
double their value.
When he found we did not recover
them , and thinking It useless to waste
time In looking further for them , he
hired some one to take his wagon and
family to Omaha , and that is the las !
I ever saw or heard of him. Had we
been as wise then as In after months we
could no doubt have found both the
thieves and the horses without much
trouble or without going a great dls
ranee.
From that time on , the theft ol
horses and cattle became common in
Nebraska. There wss little of it done
In the immediate' vicinity of Fonta-
nelle , but we could hear complaints in
different directions , and many persona
passed through our town looking for
stolen or strayed stock.
In October of th'e ' same year
bought a handsome black pony from a
Mr. Brainaxi who kept a store or Fon-
tanelle. One day In the latter part ol
the month , a gent'eman who had bull !
a cabin on Logan creek , about twenty
miles distan. , came into the settlement
to do some trading at my fathers
store , and invited me to go home witl
him , and shoot ducks for & couple of
days , whloh , he said , were plenty in
the immediate vicinity of his house.
accepted tha offer , and by five o'clock
we were ready to start I tied my
pony behind the wagon , threw in
roll of blankets and a supply of am
munition , and we set off. ' He had an
ox team , but they were remarkably
good walkers , and being headed for
home made fair time. The night was
a beautiful one ; the moon was full ,
anb it was almost as light as
day. The trail was plain ,
and we laid down in the wagon
on hay and blankets and let the cat
tle travel at their own gait. The road
was almost level , being most of the
way on a divide , with scarcely a hill
until Logan creek was reached. How
long we lay there talking , undisturbed
bv the loud yelpings of the droves of
coyotes , which were then very numer
ous , I do not know. Finally we went
to sleep , and awoke to find the cattle
standing still and the wagon stopped.
Getting out , we found the pony gone.
The rope , which was a new Inch rope ,
bad been untied and the pony stolen.
How long the act had been committed
we'could not t l. It may have been
before we went to-sleep perhaps
after. At afl events no pony was in
sight. We walked back a mile or
more , but could see nothing of the
animal ; then returning to the wagon
we drove on toward Logan creek.
The next day we scoured the coun
try "back to Fontanelle , but to no
purpose. Then I rode over to the
Pawnee village , and made a trip up to
the Omaha reservation at Blaok Bird
Hills. But the pony was gone be
yond recovery.
The reader will perhaps remember
that at about the time of which I
write some twenty or thirty horse-
thieves had been caught and hung in
Iowa by indignant vigilance commit
tees. Thesij scoundrels had a power
ful organization , extending through
Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , Iowa , Mis
souri , Nebraska and Kansas , to the
Indian territory. This organization
had its regular officers , pass-words ,
grips , etc. , and defied the law with im-
pnnlty. The shrewdest detectives
were for a long time baffled and una
ble to arrest any of tha grog. So well
were they organized , so bold and de
fiant did they become , that the people
were forced to organize and arm them
selves in self-defense. Hundreds-
horses and cattle were stolen ; emi
grants wera- murdered and their teams
stolen , and all manner of depredations
committed. Not only this , "but the
country was flooded with counterfeit
money , both paper and sliver , but no
body could tell who "shoved the
queer. "
This was an alarming state of aff
airs , and called for vigorous measures.
The law with its vexatious delays was
too slow. Besides , if the criminals
had money to buy lawyers and juries ,
they Invariably escaped conviction
when caught One of the most dan
gerous elements of the "Brotherhood
of Thieves , " was that they were
pledged by a most sacred and binding
oath to contribute money /or * the lib
eration-of any of their /elJow-tiieves
and connterfeitera who fell Into the
hands of the law. Numbers of sus
pected persona were arrested , but
they Invariably proved an allbJ , or
that they were respectable tradesmen ,
or farmers , or escaped on some other
pretext. Conviction was Impossible.
"
So"the long-suffering and outraged
public determined to take matters into
its own hands. Vigilance committees
were formed with the fixed determin
ation to hang to the dearest tree
every horse-thief and counterfeiter
caught.
. A committee did not go together in
a body. Certain members of the or
ganization were appointed to watch
suspected parties , and they were shad
owed night and day. Often those se
cret detectives wfnld stay every night ,
for weeks , in the stables and about
the premises of men they believed to
be bad citizens , and when the drop
fell , when they caught them In their
deviltry , there was no court , no judge ,
no jury. Execution was suoden , qui
et , swift and sure. Tbe public did
not know who done the hanging. But
when the people passed _ along the
road and saw a man swinging to a rope
labelled "Horse Thief , " they made no
inquiries , but went about their busi
ness and let the wretch hang , In fact ,
it was dangerous show sympathy open
ly , because the sympathizer was in
danger of being ' 'shadowed" and
strung up also.
But Iowa was rid of horao thieves
in a short time , and the dangerous or
ganization in that state broken np.
It was found that many persons who
irere supposed to be honest , hard
working farmers , mechanics and store
keepers belonged 'to ' the gang of
thieves and counterfeiters In Iowa.
And this was why detection and con
viction was impossible , and justice
baffled for so long a time.
Legg , and his hired ( ? ) men , at
Fontanelle , began to be suspected of
crookedness. Several suspicious things
had transpired which caused people to
be on their guard , and It was finally
hinted that Legg was a bad man and
would bear watching.
About this time B. W. Legg , who
was always flush with-money , took a
trip to Ohio , and while there was ar
rested and fwenty-one " * indictments
found against him for horse-stealing.
He was E member and leader of the
Brotherhood , and while he directed
affairs and occasionally "made a trip"
off , for the most part he remained at
hemp , in the qnlet seclusion the place
afforded.
There is no doubt that Legg and his
accomplices stole the emigrant's hors
es already recited , as well as the pony
spoken off , and that at the time we
were hunting for those animals they
ware hid In one of the ravines near
town , or on their way to the Missouri
river. '
I never Iccm what became of Legg
and his Fontanelle property. It is
evident now that the numerous thefts
of hones and stock in that , and
other portioni of Nebraska , was the
work of Leqg and his gang , and for
which the Indians were blamed and
censured.
