Broken in fortune , and lying at the

In a lamentable and unfortunate con

poverty increases from day to day.

of prostration and subjection that
the body will never come together.
An attempt has been made to have
Iho Chilians evacuate Lima that a
provisional government may be in-
" "stalled , but they refuse to remove their
forces. To make matters worse the
Chilian government has determined
- to collect $1,000,000 per month for
the expenses of its army , and a de o
mand for the first million has been A
made upon fifty property owners in 1
Lima , each being required to pay 1a 1C

HABITUAL JUMfEES.
The question as to the motive of
republicans who voted for Mr. Uoyd
is ono which wo cinnot anawerr We
have simply to sny that we did not
vote for Mr Bojd , and wo do not see
how any good republican could recon
cile such vote with any just BPDBO of
party principle and fidehy. Wo pre
sume that very many of tha alleged
republicans who voted for Mr. Boyd
arc men who have hitherto habitually
" jumped" the parly rails ;
who have been responsible for
every republican dif at in Omaha end
every partial or ppprcximtio demo
cratic auccust , and who care more at
all times for their supposed personal
interest and fur factional tuccess in
marring what they cannot nmke. than
they care for party success and for the
republican adminutration to which
this city is clearly entitled. [ Repub
lican.
lican.The
The Union Pacific monopoly onan ;
evidently thinka that Omaha voters
have exceedingly short memories.
That paper long ago earned for itself
an unenviable reputation for "habit
ual jumping , " not only in city elec
tion ; , but also In state and national
contests. It jumped the nominations
of Lew Reed , Fred Metz , and lias-
call himself for the legislature In
1870 , and worked at the polls to de
feat their election. In 1872 It
jumped the nomination of Al
fred Burlcy for sheriff and need every
effort to elect his opponent.
In 1876 it jumped John M.
Thorston , republican nominee for
district judge , because at that time b
hadn't jumped over to iho monopolies.
In 187G It jumped Wm. J. Connell
for district attorney after it helped to
nominate him and pledged itself
to support him. In 1877 it jumped
John R. Manchester for county clerk
and peddled bogus tickets in the var
ious wards. One of ita present edi
tors , In 18T2-jnmpod the nomination
of Gen. Grar-t for president and
worked for Horace Greoloy.
Each and all of these exhibitions of
political athletics were performed
without any attempt to "reconcile
such votes with any just eenao of par
ty principle and fidelity. " Wo sre
reliably informed that after Haacall's
nomination' fcr Mayor the junior as
sociate editor of the Republican held a
personal Interview with James E.
Boyd and atsurod him of hh vote.
Either the editor lied to Mr. Boyd
or else to his readers when ho assured
them that he did not vote for Mr.
Boyd , nor could he ECO "how any good
republican could reconcile such vote
with any just EOHBO of party prin
ciple orfidelity. . " But what
has such a raongr l sheet as the Omaha
Republican to do with party principle
and fidelity. It in no eenao ropro-
sen'a Nebraska republicanism or Ne
braska republicans , It has coniietently
for the last six years championed and
endorsed those measures and men
which have been defeated in conven
tions rejected In the legislature and
spurned at the polls. Its efforts in
local politics have been directed to
wards deb&ushlng the caucus , pack ,
ing the primaries and nominating
in the party conventions men whom
reputable republicans could not and
would not endorse at the polls. I'a
endorsement of Hascall and hia over
whelming defeat by the votes of the
better class of Omaha republicans ,
was a consistent link in the chain of
th'o political renegades that run it.
In every instance the interests of
great monopolies and the personal in
terests of a ging cf office hunters who
iraln In the wako of the monopoly
faction , has been tbo solo motive that
has governed their support and ac
tion. Tn no case kaa public welfare
or the noterions nnutuess of men for
positions had the least influence
npon their conduct. As a mat
ter of fact there are only
about 2,503 republicius In the
city of Ooiaha , and if 2,000 jump
habltuaiythe ! band of true and truaty
stalwarts Is not inoro numerous or ef
fective than the gallant three hundred
who charged into th < S mouth of hell
at Balaclava , especially when it is
berne in mind that those political
Cardigans Instead of gallantly leading
the charge , enaak to the roar in
every bittle and assure the
enemy that they wore only
playing aoldlor and let the fooh who
followed them perish in the last ditch.
That is the most contemptible part of
it all , for men "who have convictions
are entitled to some credit even if
they do fail , but political Hessians
who barter their manhood for money
and fight In a canto they know to be
disreputable , deserve to bo execrated.
And this is why the fiepttblican has
no respectable following in Omaha
and Douglas county.

DUNCAN DOOMED.
ColumbusMoving for the Black
Hills Branch.
Correspondence of Tui EBB.
COLTTMBUS , Neb. , April 11,1881.
It will ba remembered that at the
time the Omah , Niobrar * & Black
Hiilt railroad was In contemplation ,
the eztenilon of the Atchison & Ne-
beraska , known as Iho Lincoln and
Northwestern , hid been projected
from Lincoln to Oolnmbai , and was
asking a bonus in bonds for opening a
southern route of travel and trade to
the city. The U. P. railroad offered
to make the junction of the 0. N. it
B. H. with the main line at Colum
bus if the town and county ironld
lve them 5100,000 in bonds and re-
inse all overtures from the L. & N.
W. Tht U. P. had mtny friends In
the place who were willing to divide
the bonds in their power to give be
tween tke two roads , but were unwill
ing to kill the possibility of a com
peting line by an unfriendly at
titude. The U. P. took offanse at
the independence exhibited , and
to eplte the place built the
reid from Jackson , afterward named
Duncan , in honor of a veteran pas
senger conductor of the lice. The
experiment of building from Jackson
over barren sand hllli , and making an
ertra bridge over the treicherouu Loop
r.ver has proved very expensive. The
road has been blocked by sand and
snow a part of the winter and as a
fitting climar the bridge
put over the Loup OB this line
was carried away by the ice when the
river broke tnia spring. Now they
are willing to build th road on the
natural rtute from Columbus along
the north bank ot the Loup obviating
tha necessity of bridging the Loup on
the branch line ; they aik $25,000 in
subscription or bonds , a much less
amount than they could have had in
the first piece had they not Included
the suicidal and selfish demand.
The psople of Columbus are very
anxioDs to secure this branch road
and the leading business men heartily
endorse the proposition made them
and are subscribing cheerfully in sums
from (50 to (500. It is estimated
that $25,000 will grade ihe road from
Columbcs to Lost Creek where the old
road bed is reached ; and also
furnish rails and ties for two miles ,
the excess in distance from Columbus
to Lost Creek over from Jackson to
Lost Creek. The consummation of
this project will be hailed with joy by
the people of the whole state , as it
brightens the prospects of one of our
best towns. The future of Nebraska
will derive more benefit from a dozen
cities than from fifty villages , and the
building up railroads and manufactur
ing centres should be encouraged by
overylegitmate means. JAY.

pendent republicans made bis nomina
tion passible at Chicago , but it was the
stalwart republicans , under the leader
ship of Grant , Conklicg , Logan , Ar

from the very jawg cf defeat. That
he should feel grateful to both , would
be only natural , ana that he should
seek to unite and harmonize the two
factions , 'would ba precisely what
everybody would expect and ap
prove. In the character of his ap
pointments thus far , with possibly
two exceptions , he has exhibited rare
discretion and sound judgment. The
country generally was somewhat sur
prized at his appointment t > f Stanley
Matthews , aad it may be although
we are not quite able to see U that
ho haa erred in nominating Judge
Robertson for Collector of the Port of
New York. But oar ssnators , In the
interest of harmony , can well afford to
overlook this latter appointment , Inas
much as the personal fitness of the
appointee is universally admitted , and
he has been Indorsed by the unanimous
vote of the senate and assembly of thla
state.

Judge .Robertson helped to nomin
ate Garfield ; Senator Conkling didn't.
Both loyally supported him after his
nomination. If the president b forced
to choose between them , to which is
his obligation the greater ? Judge
Robertson is no democrat. If ho Is
as good a republican as Senator
Conkling , or as President Garfield
himself , In what does his deficiency
consist ? If the president had waited
Fcr Ibo senatore , the vice president
or the postmaster general to suggest

ion , or of any republican of like mind , i
iow long would he probably have hade
o wait ? What reason has President
Uarfield for excluding Judge Robert-
ion from party recognition ? Is the
act that Senator Conkling wants him
ixcluded a sufficient reason ? Sins' ;
ho president make the local quarrels
if all the senators his own , and pun-
