I never used these passes one single mile. My BecbnH pass ofer the Union Pacific was a trlp/'pass given to me in 1875 , by Tnoinal * JJ.cKimbaliJ Tvhen I was a delegate to the republl- can .Btate. convention t at KeBrnoy. That WM the only pass orer the Union -Pacific 1 have ever ueed.In every other instance I havtfpaid fall .faro for my trangportatlon'oyer'thafroad. % Up to within i the p"i t threS.-year8" trans portation was , f nrnlshed traveling cor respondents of TUB' BEE at reduced 'rates and1in'fi very instance the reduc tion hu boon amply paid for in adver tising.

On the first of January 1881 , I decided to discontinue this system and instruc tions were iisued to employes of Tnc BEE that no'passes would bo accepted over any railroad except upon written ccntrfict made botwoen'tho officers and publishers of THE BEE. When I start ed to Lincoln on tha third of January the conductor "on fhe B. & M. in formed me thatjmy'annnal pass would hold good till jthe 16th , but I insisted upon paying fare and dldkpay fare for several trips before the' expiration . f the pass.

RoBEWATEE. A NITMBEU of Sonrbontjournals in Lho south : -are opening theic eyes to the fact that the south is dropping be hindthe , times tn all "that relates to population and prosperity. ; There is only ono cause for this state of affairs , and that is the intolerance which resi dents , of the south have shown to wards all classes who have ventured to differ with"'their political Ideas. Just as soon as the south recognizes LhQ'Iaot that.thafoundation , oi.com- merolal prosperity rests upon the principle of a "freo ballot and a fair count , " a' now era of "wonderful de velopment will be opened for Its pee ple. , \ , ' Jusrtjow when the precinct assess ors are appraising the property the taxpayers and.ca.the evaaf.thajneet- ing of tha state boardofequalization , , the monopoly organB are trying'"todi- ' vert attention from the [ impending at tempt io undervalue rftftway "property " by vigorous editorials on temperance woman suffrage and on Bosewater. The fact is that Rosewater in an un failing sourceofdiverBJon for Uie mo nopoly organs every limeithoir wners are in close quarters. But we kre.not disposed to heed S MeiowlFngaer- vishes in their effort to dl tract at tention from the main issue. People of Nebraskt have been } liberal in ' their- grants of land's , town lots , bonds and other subsidies to the rail- reads. They and the national govern ment have paid for every mile of rail road i the state. They have enabled , toese corporations to , .build branch tyjds with their income andldeoilre dividends upon stock that dldn't'cost them a dollar. It is both just and reasonably ; that , the -property and franchises of Itfe 'raWaa corpora tions * hll'ba , taxed : according to its valuation , in the same proportion as the property of Individuals and other , corporations Is taxed. Oar consti- ' tutlon expressly requires that the rail road corporations shall pay taxes upon their property and franchises - The state board of equalization during the last five years has never taken the franchise of a railroad into consldera- tlon. They have merely atseteed the roadbed and'rolling stock"at valua tions way below their actual value. In other states the railroads are taxed upon their gross income. Tbe legis lature of Illinois has just passed a law taxing the railroads two and a half per cent upon the gross , earnings which wUL jyt millions into the state treasury. In Wisconsin , tha average tax upon the income of the railroads is three per cent. In Pennsylvania , Illinois , and New Jersey the entire expense of mainlining the state government is bornejby the railroids. Other states derive immense -revenues from the lallroads ; Would it. Jbe .unreasonable for Nebraska to insist that the atate > * -i V board of equalization shall comply with the pl&In letter of 'the constitu tion and assess the * franchises as well -as the"road bed nd rolling stock ( if the railroads.

Temperance IB not and cannot be successfully made a party ques tion. It ii a great moral and social Isiuo above and beyond the province of mere party politics. Pail experience has demonstrated thai every attempt to drag it into the polit ical arena as a party issue , has proven seriously detrimental to the caute , tnc the , friends of prohibition or of other temperance reforms make a grave mis take when they insist .upon presenting it in that way. Public sentiment ic favor of temperance must "be created .by the careful and patient' education of the people. Such a sentiment cannot 'bo madp nor strengthened 'by simply - ply adding H to a party platform , or attempting to carry it aa a-party meas ure. Being a question of morals and .of social rights , men will act and vote 'upon it as their sentiments or per sonal Interest may dictate , regardless of what their party platform may Bay. Moral reformers , by whatever pollti- "cil name they 'may bo called , will'vbto In favor of it ; while those interested , directly or indirectly , in the manu facture and sale of liquors and beer will rote and fight against it as a matter of business , There are thous ands of others who regard restrictive legislation upon thla subject as an in fringement of personal and property rights ; and this class -Bill vote against it'as a matter of sentiment. Those Opposed to prohibition in this and nearly every other slate ara jn the majority. They' act together In vehement ment- opposition to it whenever it comes up as a political question , and , as a result , It sustains demoralizing and discouraging defeat. But , aay the friends of 'temperance , it is a vital question and must be mot Admitted. But that is not the way to meet it. The sentiment of the people must be educated to shun in temperance as a moral , physical and social enemy. They must be made to see the evils it entails , the crimes it begets , -the wrongs it inflicts upon in dividuals and upon society. When the sentiment of a clear majority of the people reaches that point , where they damancL tamparanCB. or oren .prohibition , they will .have Tit regard- leas of parties. "But would you deprive the people of the right to .vote directly upon the question ? " atksour prohibitory friend. No , wo would not. They people are the sovereign authority , and when they demand a submission of this or any other question involving moral reforms , the rights of society or the interest of the state , to a popular vote , it would be unjust to deny the " request. The point we "make la that , this question should be kept clear of party entanglements or political bias. Yhenever submitted for a popular expres sion , it should be as a diitinct and independent - , dependent proposition , without re gard to or"Tecog'hition of parties or party platlormi. ' In that way the jjcople'TVonld ta left free to express their conviction Bwlthout constralntor embarrassmint. But whenever the attempt is made to convert this or that party into a machine with which to enforce action for or , against tern ? perancc , the groundwork fororgan- ized opposition ia laid , and the cause , ' as well as the party espoqs'in or op * posing It as an issue , must suffer. The Iowa Senatorshlp. McnticeUo Express. The Benatorship discussion thus far dovelopes but two candidates for the K'jrkwood sacsesslon Jamei F. Vil- son of FairDeld and Gov. Gear. The contest , to our mind , on the score of ability and fitness , IB a fairly equal one. Both are broad , strong , .posi . tive and Incorruptible men. Sir. Wilson seems to. have the larger news paper following ; and he also has the advantage of wider legislative experi ence , and having had larger opportuni- ; ies and incentives to familiarize him self with principles , and to study great national questions from the stand point of the statesman. But Mr. Wilson's fame was won at a time when , simply to ba prominent In the public eye as a bold and enthu siastic supporter of the government was to ba great. Daring the war. pe riod , when ha was in congress , the ieart of the north was sore , and the public mind sensitive and quick to register , exaggerate and applaud every loyal word and patriotic act Men who readily won distinction as wise and great legislators In those grim day a tiave since proved wanting in those high , gifts and enduring- qualities that make true statesmanship. It is im possible to conceive of Sumner , or Seward , or Morton , had they lived , becoming the mere paid * attorneys of railroad corporations , and for paltry [ lire advocating schemes of monopoly and corporals 'greed , which , as con scientious and patriotic legislator * , they tiacl been compelled ta oppose and de nounce. Yet , this is precisely what Mr. Wilson has boon doing since his retirement from congresj. Although , we must confess , after reading some of his speeches in the railroad Inter est , wo do not think him monopolist enough to be dangerous. Indeed , we find' it h rd to reconcile the Kmilness and fiapdoodleism of some of MR Wilson's labored railroad speeches with his imputed ability. Wo have no prejudice against Mr. "Wilson on the score of his railroad service that would Impel ni into op- > osition to "Ks candidacy ; nor any iosiro to create prejudice against Tiim on the part of .others. .But the ex- .ravatrant lindations of him by ' . . and intellectual coloB- sui of Iowa , 'competent to fill.Kirk . - wood's place in the United States sen ate , are a trifle bauseating. The at tempt of Mr. Wilson's organs to in stitute comparisons between JUr. , Wil son and Gov.
