STANLEV MATTHEWS twenty-three
rears ago , when he was federal dis
trict v .ov. jn Cincinnati , pros
ecuted to conviction a m whose
sole offense WAS that he had given a
cup of walor and piece of bread to
two fugitive slaves who had songht
his rcom nt night. The evidence
against the man was weak , and when
an acquittal seemed likely Matthews
pulled out of his pocket a letter from
the man begging for mercy and re
minding Matthews that they were
both Masons , and upon that letter the
m&n was convicted to the county
jail.
NOKDHOFF , the Washington correspondent -
pendent ef the New York Herald ,
says that it is a mistake to regard the
struggle In the senate as a mere piece
of office grabbing. Southern senators
admit that they help maintain the
dead lock because the election
of Riddleberger would probab
ly give Virginia over this
fall to a combination of the Ma-
hone independents. The republican
senators say that they mean to assist
Mahone to carry Virginia thii fall in
order to show independents in that
state that the republicans will stand
by them to the list.
THERE have been several additions
to Nebraska journals within the past
few weeks. Perhaps the most notable
is the Western Woman's Journal , the
first number of which was issued last
wetk at Lincoln with E. M. Cornell
as editor and proprietor. Mr. Ocrrdl
is a man of unquestioned ability and
may bo expected to make the best of
his subject His initial number is
Interesting and ably edited. That
excellent paper the York"Republican
has entered upon its sixth year with
every mark of increased vigor and
prosperity. It appears in an enlarged
nnd improved form in order to keep
abreast of the growth of
the prosperous town and coun
ty , in whoso development It
has been no small factor. North
Platte has an addition to its newspa
pers in the Telegraph , a now Demo
cratic weekly , of which James Mc-
Nulty is editor and proprietor. The
Telegraph Is neatly gotten up typo
graphically , and h well edited.
A GENERAL movement towards an
Increate of wages is noted throughout
the country and especially in those lo
calities where wages wore cut down
during the business depression. Last
year the increase in the cost of iron
and the Increased
profits which ac
crued to the manufacturers was fol
lowed by a demand for an Increase in
the pay of iron rollers and puddlers.
Wages should follow profits. In this
manner capital shares with labor the
results of profitable investment. When
profits increase , wages should also be
Increased.
The general Increase in the cost of
Hvtng , and the larger profits now-
reaped by employers , not only justi
fies , but should cqinpel.amore liberal
scale of remuneration than that allowed -
lowed during the years of financial
depression. This has been recognized
by many employers. Wages have In
some Instances been raised volunta
rily , and in others the demand of the
wojklngmen for an increase has been
arsaded to as soon as made. It is ev
ident that a demand for increased
wages made on a rising market is
pretty certain of success unless it Is
excessive.
ANTI-OMAHA DEVILTRY.
On the completion of the new overland
route an agreement was entered into be
tween the Union and Central Pacific and
the Santa Fc & Southern Pacific roads ,
to pool their earnings and maintain rates.
It seems that the new route was more pop
ular than was anticpated ; and with that
disregard for agreements for which rail
road corporations are so noted , the Cen
tral Pacific monsi ely now refused to per
mit the Atcbison , Topeka & Santa Fe to
compete with ths Union Pacific for it
share of the overland business , and al the
same time forces stiippcrs in the southwst to
transport thetr goods otcr the longer and
nure expetisiuc route to tht coast. [ See ,
If the above had been written and
published by an enemy of Omaha , In
some rival and curlons town , there
might be some excuse for its disregard
of the truth ; but when It comes from
the pen and piesa of a citizen of Oma
ha , it stamps the alleged "citizen" as
a traitor to the best interests of our
city.
city.fasalng without comment the stupid
falsehood that there is a pool be
tween the Union and Oentrrl Pacific
companies on the ono hand and the A.
T. & S. F. and Southern Pacific on
the other , ire call the atten
tion of onr readers to the malicious
lie that Omaha's rente to California ,
Oregon and Washington territory , "Is
the longer and more expensive route
to the coast" from the southwest.
Taking Kansas City , the eastern ter
minus of the southern route , as the
starting-point from the southwest for
comparison , and will bo found to be
300 miles farther to San Francisco ,
via A. , T. & S. Fe , than is the route
via Omaha. From that point , the
Omaha route is also cheeper to the
same destination for passengers and
freightl Does any one suppose Rosewater -
water to bo ignorant of these facts 1
If he is not , what'excuse can he make
for such barefaced falsehoods ? Noth
ing can explain his conrse but his
blind and impotent rage at the Union
Pacific company because it will not
return free passes and patronage for
his persistent abuse. [ Republican.
It is decidedly refreshing for a beg
gar on horse back who c&mo to Omaha
without a decent suit of cloths on his
back , and at this very hour has not a
dollar's worth of property interest in
this city , to arraign this paper or its
editor as an enemy of Omaha. When
an Irresponsible tramp who may at any
moment pick up his grip sack and shake
the dust of Omaha from his feet ,
has tbe audacity to assume the
role of chief spokeiman for Omaha's
material interests , It is high time that
his insolence be rebuked. We resent
with scorn the intimation that the
withdrawal of passes or patronage has
in any way influenced this paper in its
conrse toward .the Union Pacific or
any other railroad corporation. " THE
BEE could to-day have moro passes
and morn railroad patronage than has
ever been bestowed upon the brass-
collared organ-grinders who are now
on the pay-roll of the Union Pacific ,
were we disposed tn barter principles
and convictions for cash or its equiva
lent. THE BEE did have its share of
Union Pacific printing up to 1875 ,
when it refused to desert Omaha in
the narrow-gauge propoaltion. as was
done by the hirelings who edit eho
railroad organs. THE BEE could
have regained the patronage of
the Union Pacific in 187G r-H
It been disposed to sell out
and drop its war on the U. P. sena
torial candidate. THE BEE did hare
a share of patronage of the B. & M.
-a'llroad up to lat fall , when it ex
posed the wrongs Inflicted npon Oma
ha and the whole stale by railroad
tax-shirking.
Onr loss of B. & M. patronage
was the Republican's ge.m and that con
cern is'welcome to tha acquisition.
When the legislature was in suasion
the editor of this paper and every re *
porter paid their fare to and from
Lincoln , although we could have had
the passes "by asking for them.
The only condition npon which wo
accept passes from any railroad com
panies is upon contract or exchange
for printing or advertising. And
now about Omaha's devilry.
The Republican asserts that the
AtchisonTopoka & SintaFo route is
more distant and the fsre is higher
from Kansas City to the Pacific coast
than by the U. P. and C. P. route. If
that is true , few travellers will give
the A. & T. route the preference.
People always travel irhere they can
make time and save money.
But what interest hes Omaha
in this controversy between
rival Tnonopolles at Kansas City.
What advantage is it for Omaha
whether Southwestern travel goes to
California by the way of Santa Fe or
whether they go by way of the Kansas
Pacific to Denver and Cheyenne 1
Rsilreads are governed by their own
interests. It is interest of the Union
Pacific to send South western passen
gers for the Pacific coast over the
Kansas Pacific line because the U. P.
Dwns the entire line from Kansas Cliy
to Cheyenne. If they send thorn up to
Dmaha the U. P. must pay over lo
Kansas City & Council Bluff road its
propDrtion of the faro. But suppose
ill thosn passengers can ba forced to
; o by way of O&aha , what ad-
rantage is it to Omaha to
mvu these passenger * pass through ?
iVhat benefit does Omaha derive from
ha thousands of passengers that look
it the rear end of this city , out of
i&ssenger coaches as they pass west-
rard ? What advantage do our citi-
ans reap from the thousands of
migrants that pats through Omaha
n their way to the Pacific coast ?
Vhy don't the literary tramp that
dlts the Republican denounce the
oviltry that keeps thesa emigrants
ut of this city by representing
) maha as a robber's roost. Why
.on't he denounce the deviltry

rable shed , and built a. § 200,000

10 deviltry committed by the mono-
ely attorney * In the legislature last
Inter whereby Omaha and Douglas
junty are again swindled out of local
taxes on the U. P. depot grounds and
depot building ?
THE bedeviled BEE asks how that
Council Bluffs "elevator , built by the
Union Pacific , to monapollza Nebras
ka's grain trade is going to benefit
Omaha ? " Will THE BEE explain in
what souse that elevator is "built" by
the Union Pacific , v , hen that compa
ny contributes only one-sixth of its
coat ? If the Union Pacific contributes
at the same ilmo'ihrec-JiftJis of the
east of an elevator of the taine capucity
in Omahi , will THS BEE explain how
this contribution is likely to injure
Omaha ? With these elevators Ceased
to and operated by private parties will
THE BEE tell us how the elevator in
Council Blnffa is to "monopolize Ne
braska's grain trade , " unless the farmers -
mers and grain shippers of this state
prefer tp patronize it ? Republican.
The Union Pacific Railroad was not
chartered as an elevabor company. Its
legitimate business is the transporta
tion of freight and passengers. Why
shcjjild the Union Pacific cr
any other railroad company go into
the grain olovatorbusines8 , ? Why do
they organiza coal mining rings , pal-
aca car rings , fast freight line rings ,
hotel rings and kindred enterprises
which put money Into their
private purees at the expense
of the public and stock holders. Sidney - ,
ney Dillon's joint interest in the
Council Blnffr elevator is a specula-
tire investment. His Interest in the
Omaha elevator is merely an eight
per cent loan. Does any sane man
doubt that Dillon will discriminate in
favor of the Dillonville elevator ?
If Dillon had not joined in the eleva
tor pool on tha Spoon lake flats Oma
ha would have.bnilt not merely ono
but several mammoth elevators , with
her own capital. As it is she will have
to content herself with whatever
crumbs the Union Pacific sees fit to
thaow to her elevator , and the bulk
of Nebraska grain shipped east by way
of Omaha will ba handled by the
elevator OH Spoonlake flats.

European Emigration.
St. Lonii Globe-Democrat.
A Berlin telegram says that emigra
tion to America is so large that steam
ship companies are obliged to charter
extra vessels. This rush from the
Old World to the new Is the more sig
nificant In view of the fact that , In
Germany at least , the government dis
courages emigration in eveiy way
short of actual prohibition , and that
uo Enropeon government does more
thau tolerate it. In some parla of the
continent , emigration agents are liable
to arrest , and nearly everywhere find
it convenient to do their work as
quietly as possible. Still the exo
dus continues , and from year to
year of late has steadily increased.
It looks as If not only
the entire surplus population of
Europe were coming to us , but a
large portion of those who cm bo Illy
spared at home , the bone and sinew
workers , tax payers and fighters.
Germany just now la suffering most
from this drain , and the reason is
evident. Germans , as a race , are a
peaceful , thrifty and industrious people
ple , bout on getting ahead in the
world , and anxious to give their
children n good start in life. Their
love for fatherland Is proverbial , but
It la not strong enough to blind them
to the disadvantages which the establishment
lishment of the empire has entailed.
Fatherland is now a great military
camp , in which every citizen must
eerva , and to the support of which
every pocket must contribute. The
supremacy , nay , the voty existence ol
the empire , depends upon constant
readiness for war , and war is liable to
occur at any moment bringing its
awful waste of blocd and treasure.
Naturally , then , the German is very
anxious to escape from conditions so
unfavorable to his prosperity and
aud happiness , and so he follows hia
brethren across the soa. Here ho
finds himself among kindred and
friends , a free and independent msn ,
on a politic * ! equality with the high
est , no barracks calling for him , no
imperial system to maintain , and with
the widest field for the exercise cf his
energies. He never forgets his na
tive soil , but only in rare instances is
ha willing to go back to It for perma
nent residence. He speedily becomes ,
and ia proud to be , thoroughly Ameri
canized.
What ia true of Germans Is true
though not to the same extent per
haps of other European nationali
ties. Vast military { establishments ,
costly governments , barriers to social
advancament'and the accumulation of
property , and the the general uncer
tainty of things in those days when
nothing seems fixed all combine to
turn the faces of the people westward.
It is net because they are restless that
they emigrate , but because they want
to be at rest ; want to be their own mas
ters , and not the slaves of chance
and change ; want that liberty and
room which Europe cannot afford , and
which America haa In abundance.
And so the supply of transportation is
insufficient for the demand. When
will this wonderful emigration cease ?
Not until Europe offers as fcreat in
ducements as America. Not until the
German , Scandinavian , Russian ,
Italian , Frenchman , Irishman , Eng
lishman and Scoichmtn can do aa well
at homo ai hero. Salf-interest is the
moving power ; when that centers In
the Old World the New will lose Its
European recruits.
Fears are occasionally expressed
that America will be overrun and
swamped by the army of emigrants ,
and that In the eud the injury to us
and ours will outweigh the benefits.
We see no reason for such fears. The
country Is large enough to take and
use all that Europe can possibly send ,
and If a republican form of govern
ment Is what it is believed to be , for
eign Influences cannot seriously injure

Assessment of Railroads.
Uncoln Globe.
The people of Nebraska must not
orget that the railroad companies are
iven now paving the way for a lew
.ssessment. Every yeir , for the past
lalf dozen years they have succeeded
u reducing their assessment until it is
o very low that they will probably
onsent to a slight increase this spring
ast to appease the public clamor , but
ho assessors who do this work will
ndont that no small Increase will
office. Railroads must pay in
roportion to the property they have ,
nd according to the provisions of the
constitution. It is the plain duty of
the state board to assess the franchise
of every railroad in Nebraska at what
it is worth , the sameaa other proper
ty is assessed. The constitution which
was adopted by a vote of the people so
directs , and Governor Nance , Treas
urer Bartlett and Auditor Wallich ,
the members of the board of assess
ment , cannot well afford to disregard
the plain provisions of that instru
ment , and we do not believe they will.
Railroad attorneys will be on hand
to tell them that their road did ever so
much to settle up this state , and with
out them Nebraska would to-day be a
howling wilderness ; but they will for
get to say that most of Nebraska's
ro&ds were built with government-sub
sidies and that the stock of the two
great corporations is selling at a price
above par.
If a farm will sell for ? 24 an acre it
is usually assessed at $8 an acre , and
It a railroad is stocked $100,000 a
mile , and that stock is.Sl.20 , it would
make the road worth 8120,000 a mile , "
and should bo assessed at $40,000 a
mile to be ia proportion with the farm ,
and yei the farm is often assessed at
much more than one-third its value ,
and the railroad always a great deal
lesj. We sh'all look for an equal as
sessment this year.
