THE railroads of'Nebraska
may ac
cept the friendly invitation of Mr.
Itasowatcr n.ndliis ; crowd of raal-con-
tents to make the Doane law BO op
pressive to themselves as to lose
money thereby just for the sake of
pleasing their devoted enemies. But
if they do they will be as weak in all
that constitutes good judgment and
good management as their antagonists
are strong in all tliat is most nonsens
ical and most destructive to the inter
ests of Nebraska. Republican.
This outfiixjkcn intention of ihe mo-
* if * f tt
nopolies to "put"the screws on the
grangers" is at least timely. It is well
for the people of this utatoto under
stand beforehand that any further "p-
pressions at the hands of the railroads
which may be in store for _ thorn , are
not on account of legislative defects or
the necessities of trade , but simply
because the monopolies intend to teach
the "Grangers" a lesson and do not
propose to have tMfcir "profits" dimin
ished by "antagonists who are strong
in all that is most nonsensical and
most destructive to the interests of
Nebraska. " In other words it is well
for the producerswthe shippers and
tax payers of this state to appreciate
at once the fact that the gage of bat
tle is boldly thrown down by the mo
nopolies and that the issue is clearly
and defiantly made between the
rule of the railroads and the
rule of the people. The taunt of
"Grangerism , " which is hurled at the
head of every citizen who refuses to
bow his head to the monopoly yoke ,
will be willingly borne by a vast ma
jority of Nebraskans. They are not
disposed to quibble about , terms ;
the3' mean to wrestle with facts. They
understand precisely what the mo
nopolies intend to do and their own
course is clear.If the railroads think
for a moment that a general'raising of
through tariffs on the basis of the
present exorbitant local tariff will
frighten the people of this btate into
submission to their will , they are
grevtously mistaken. Such a
course- they may possibly pur
sue for ' two years , in ac-
ccordance with the letter , but in
defiance of the spirit of the Doano
law. But let them understand at the
very outset that they are defying an
element in .Nebraska which is com'
posed of eight-tenths of the voters of
this state , anjulemeiit which they.havo
heretofore failed to bribe" and which
cannot now - be bulldozed or
frightened- from theirposition. . * "
The Doane law purposely
refrained from fixing tariffs on the
railroads and. left -wide latitude for
the monopoly managers in which to
adjust their rates to the new order of
things. But if this mercy of the
I > eople towards their oppressors is
abused , if the railroads in the face of
a public sentiment which is daily be
coming 'more overwhelming'insist1" " -
continuing a career of extortion and
plunder which the Donne law was passed
to chock , we confidently predict that
the next session of the legislature will
take awaj- from the monopolies every
k-ostige of those privileges which the
people have granted them and which
liavo jbeen so shamefully and out-
ageously abused.
The Farmers' Alliance will be sup-
Kjrtod by anti-monopoly leagues of
ncrchants , laborers and professional
ncn in every city , town and village in
Nebraska and the railroads
rill reap the full benefit of their bold
ind arrogant defiance of the people of
his state. It.is high time that these
Tcatnrcs of the people should under-
itand that that they are not the rulers
f their creators , and if they wish to
> e brought to a saving knowledge of
Ids fact , let them try upon the
'Grangers" of this state a general
wising of tariff rates , under the shal-
ow pretense that they are only en-
orcing the law passed by the late leg-
slature.
THE BEE is in favor of public im-
irovements in our city. But it is not
n favor of lavish expenditures of

mndreds of our people may "hang in

ion of sewer bonds. The opponents

.way from the districts in which the
icw sewers are to be constructed and
rho would not be affected personally by

ittle children. They propose to use
heir efforts to defeat the bonds , only
iccause their taxes , vjuch no one is

mre air and a healthy atmosphere be
qually energetic and Omaha will give

ndicate how strongly our people are
mprefcsed "with the necessity of main-
aiiung the health of the city.
THE insanity of the last legislature
n refusing to make some provision
or attracting emigration is daily be-
xnning more apparent. The great

At a Cincinnati wedding the other
day , the organist occupied the time
previous to the advent of the bride
and groom by playing various volun-
taires , and just na tlit'y arrived nt the
church door , struck into the familiar
refrain , "Trust her not , she's fooling
thee , " with elaborate extempore varia
tions. He was hard at it when the
bridal party entered the church , and
kept on till they reached the altar ,
when ho suddenly jumped into the
"Wedding March" with a sfor/ando
which nearly took the wind out of the
bellows-blowei1.
It is significant of the change which
is passing over the European concep
tions of life and of morality that at
the present moniunt nearly jvcry leg
islature in Europe : is moro or less pre
occupied with the marriage question.
In Hungary they have just legalized
the marriage of Jews and Christians ,
and are discussing the introduction of
obligatory civil marriage. In Denmark
mark- the folkothing has been discuss
ing the remarriage of divorced per
sons. In Spain the Sagasty ministry
is busied about the re-establishment
of civil marriages. M. Napuet's bill
for legalizing divorce was defeated a
short time ago by the French chamber.
It is now dealing with the propos
als legalizing the marriage of brother-
in-law with their sister-in-law and the
marriage of priests. In Italy the di
vorce question has been brought be
fore the legislature by a proposal to
sanction divorce when either the hus
band or the wife has been condemned
to penttl servitude for life , and to con
vert a legal separation into a divorce
when three years , in tho-caso of child
less marriage , or five years , if there
are children , liave elapsed without a
reconciliation after the judgment of
separation was pronounced. By this
propofal every separation de forps
would ripen into a divorce by lapse of
time. It will be interesting to see
how so drastic a proposal will be re-
ceived'by the Italian chamber. [ Pall
Mall Gazette.

ment. The lace is a quarter of an

A mother who would feel shame to
dmit to a suitor for her daughter's
and that circumstances had pre-
'write , does not think it the least dis
paragement that cooking "hadnot
been taught her either in theory or
practice. And yet a vast majority of
girls become wives of poor mon , or at
least of men in moderate circum
stances , who cannot afford a sen-ant
for each department of household ser
vice. Miss Corson's lectures may or
.may not impart much instruction in
the art of useful cooking , but if they
impress upon the present generation
of mothprs the importance of training
their daughters for the kitchen as well
as for the parlor , they will do _ some
good. [ San Francisco Call.

of saying his prayers before guiny to

"Mamma , how long will it bo before

A young woman of Springfield ,
Mass. , was determined to circumvent
a young man whom she suspected of a
desire to escort her homo from the
Baptist church sociable. The enter-
taintiiunt was held in the basement ,

audience-room above by means of thu
back stairs and escape thence to thu
street while her would-be cavalier was
preparing to pounce upon her at the
b.vsement door. All went well until a
false step in the darkness sent her
