" MISSOURI seems determined to wipe out the disgrace of the rocout train robbery at Winston by a vigorous pursuit of all desperadoes within her limits. To further this end a meet ing was hold on Monday which was attended by Governor Orittonden and the railway managers of St. idof It was decided to offer a reward of 50,000for the capture of the robbers - bers , $20,000 for Frank and Jesse James , and $0,000 nploeo for the other five desperadoes concerned in the robbery of the Rock Island train. It is also announced that a strong party of men have loft Chicago with the object of capturing the robbers and earning the reward. "r * " THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE. It is notr nearly n year since the citizens of Douglas county voted to issue § 1125,000 in county bonds for the proposed now county court houso. Before those bonds were voted the county commissioners urged that the building of the now court house just as soon AS it could possibly bo done , was an imperative necessity. 11 waa represented that the county wan run ning the risk of losing her most valu able records by fire , which could never bo replaced. Wo were told that the vruilts for the records of deeds and mortgages were not largo enough to hold all these records , nnd the same of the country treasurer's tax books , which were exposed to the risk of fire. It was mainly with a view of pro tecting the county against n possible calamity that the people of this county voted the bonds asked for by the coin- missionora. A year has nearly passed and the only stops so far taken toward build ing that cou'rt house is the grading and levelling of the square upon which the now court house is to bo built. Even that is not entirely com pleted. What were the commision- era doing all that time ? They spent some months in travel ing to various cities to inspect public buildings to got an idea what other counties and citioa have done with a view to utilizing their experience. That was very proper. In duo time wanted architects to furnish plans for the now court houso. After several months delay the plans were examined and what was considered the best and most desirable plan was accepted and adopted. That was the plan drawn by an architect of national reputation , Mr. Myers , of Detroit. The archi tect was requested to draw up .modi fied plntiH with details , and several months were again con sumed in waiting for these plans. Finally proposals were invited for the construction of the court house in ac cordance \iith thcso plans , for which a contract was to bo awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. These pro posals were opened Wednesday , nnd the commissioners , without making the bids public , rejected them all ho- causa they were largely in excess of the estimated coat of the proposed court houso. And now wo are just whore wo started from nearly a year ago. Mean time building materials and labor have advanced from ton to twenty-five per cent , and there is no prospect of their becoming any cheaper for several years to como. If the commissioners undertake to build the court house within the limit of last year's estimate , wo shall have n Cheap John court house that will have hrtjo pulled down in a very few years. To build the court house ac cording to the Myers plan will involve the necessity of issuing moro bonds. This fact the commissioners have krown for the last six months. They know it before the Myers plan was adopted just as well as they do now. Why , then , did they put the county to the expense of advertising to go through a farce which only causes further needless delay ? Every pub- pie spirited citizen of this county heartily npprovos the proposed Myers plan because it would give us a metro politan court house , commodious and substantial. A cheaper nnd less pretentious building might nn awor for a few years , but it would bo a very poor economy , Omaha is to bo a city of 100,000 in habitants within ton years and she should have a court house as substan tial as the postoffico and court house erected by Undo Sam nearly ton years ago. ago.Such Such a building will necessarily cosi moro than 8150,000 at present rates of labor nnd material. The city o ! Denver has just contracted for i court house , planned by Mr. Myors much larger nnd moro elaborate at i cost of over 9-100,000 , Omaha shoulc not bo much behind Donvo in such nn enterprise. It would have been economical nnd desirable to Imv joined the county and city in ono publio building as has boon done ii Chicago nnd ether cities but it is too late now to retrace inn lose another year or two it procuring now plans. What the commissioners ought to do , is to con tract for the foundation and basement mont of the court house on the My era' plan without further dulay , am let that much of the buildii bo contsructod this season' Then let them nppoal to the peopl for a further nllowaneo in bonds to finish the building , Wo Jmvo not the least doubt that the additional bonds will bo voted. A NUMiiBR of Lincoln capitalists socmtobo satisfied that a railroad from Fremont to the capital city will pay. They have evidenced their belief - lief by the subscription of $1,000,000 und the payment down of $100,000 in cash. Mr. Galey , who claims the honor of projecting the scheme , in. form * the public that engineers are going right out to locate the road , and prophesies that it will soon become an important element in the Chicago & Northwestern system. Nebraska : wants railroads. There is probably not a man in the state desiring its growth'and development who is not heartily in favor of the greatest pos sible extension of the railroad sys tem in our state which is consistent with honest construction and fair manapemont. On this account if the proposed now road from Lincoln to Frogmen t is to bo built by the money of its owners and proprietors ; the counties of Dodge , Saunders , Butler and Lan caster would doubtless gladly welcome it as a now outlet for their produce. There are intimations , however , that the inevitable bonds are to bo called for from the counties through which the road is to pass. Such a proposi tion should bo emphatically voted down. Railroads are the most profit able of investments and the people should rcinso to mortgage their fanns to encourage the building of transpor tation lines , whoso projectors are amply able to sustain their own enter prises. CANDIDATES AND CORPORA TIONS. Nothing in these late times has shown the growing powers of the antimonopoly - monopoly sentiment in n stronger de gree than the defeat of Ohaun- cy M. Dopow in Now York. The Now York Tribnnc , which was Mr. Dopow'R organ says that it raises the question whether a connection with a great corporation is not a hin drance rather than a help to a candi- didato for a conspicuous office. The popular impression is that all great corporations are omnipotent in congress - gross and state legislatures , and that whatever they wish to see accom plished , either in the way of legisla tion or in the election of favorite can didates , IP pretty sure to bo consum mated. It was well known that Mr. Dopovr was able , eloquent and per sonally popular , but the fact that ho was an attorney for Mr. Yanderbilt's railroad was fatal to his success. In Iowa another eminent and dis tinguished lawyer is making his can vass for the United States senate. Jim Wilson has behind him a monopoly ely record moro marked than that of Mr. Dopow. Ho has refused to con tent himself with the simple duties of corporation attornoyship , and has distinguished himself by a bold fight against any and all measures which had for their object the restriction of railway abuses. Mr. Wilson is likely to repeat Mr. Dopow's failure , and for exactly similar causes. Commenting upon these two cases the Chicago Journal asks whether there is anything especially vicious , immoral or dangerous to the public interest in maintaining a business connection with a railroad corpora tion , and whether a company char torcd by the legislature , doing bus ! ' ness under the laws of the state , com posed.of Bomo of its most respectable and intelligent citizens , so wicked that its touch is contamination ? The question is easily answered. If railroad corporations were conducted on the "business principles , " which are carried into operation by every successful merchant , * there would bo nothing dangerous to the publio inter ests in the selection of party candi dates from the paid employes of such corporations. Such is not the case. The laws of trade arc sot at defiance by railway managers. Competition is strangled by consolidations , and "pools. " Services are sold to differ- out parties at widely diverging prices. The public and investors are swindled without mercy by the tricks of common gamblers. Embargoes are placed on commerce by artificial obstructions to trade in the shape of ferries , bridges , and the mo nopolizing of wharf and water from t privileges. Taxes are evaded and the people forced to protect the property which refuses to contribute its share for the common welfare. Towns are built up or destroyed at the will of ir responsible men. Legislatures arc purchusod , witnesses suborned , congressmen gressmon bought and sold and over our cour.s of justice invaaed by th corrupting influences of corporatioi gold. The publio interest sinks int insignificance in the eyes of unscru pulous stock gamblers when com pared with the private interests o if : the corporation treasury. It is on these accounts that the people are beginning to realize that the touch of corporations is too often contamina tion , and that it is dangerous to the public interest to select candidates for high offices from the paid employes oi the monopolies. This is especially applicable as re gards attorneys. Their duties in at tending to the law business of cor porations is perfectly legitimate but most of them are not employed for this purpose. To hire attorneys for packing and bulldozing conventions and for thwarting the expression of popular will through legislatures by falsifying facts before committees , bribing legislators to intro duce bogus bills and doing what would send any other man to the penitentiary. Employment by a corporation should not servo as an excuse for men to commit crimes , nor can men who hire out for such dis reputable work bo trusted as pub- Ho servants. The people may bo sold out by dishonest congressmen and senators after they are elected , but it would bo folly for them to put their trust in men who are already bought and wear the brass collar of corporations - tions without a blush. CONKLINO is fighting vigorously with the anti-monopolists and devoting himself to the denun ciation of bribery by free passes. In a recent address to the Now York leagues , ho said : "At the opening of the session it is the custom of some railroad lobbyist to go aboul among thu members of the legislature and distribute these tickets. The assump tion that thoyaro complimontaryisnon- sonso. Thn ticket is a part , at least , of the purchase money of the man who accepts it , and in most cases the cor porations can show as clear a title to their purchases as a planter could to his negro slave. In this connection I wish to refer to the very strange re ports made by my old friend Erostus Brooks in the late bribery investiga tion. Mr. Brooks is said to carry in his pocket not only free passes over the railroads of the state , but in the Wagner drawing-room cars as well , and Mr. Brooks reports that ho con siders Mr. Bradloy's testimony good so far as it criminates himself only , while the benefit of the doubt is given to the self-acknowledged lobbyist whoso money Mr. Bradley produced. " NHDUAHKA farmers should turn their attention moro strongly to the subject of creameries. Iowa has now in operation 400 creameries with a value of nearly $1,000,000. Creamery butler is always in good demand at excellent prices and corn and gross put into milk pays a heavy profit on the investment. Corporation * nnd Candidates. From Now York Tribune. One interesting fact appearing in the Albany contest ought not to bo over looked that it raises the question whether a connection with a great cor poration is not a hindrance rather than a help to a candidate for a con spicuous office. This is far from being - ing the popular impression. So much has been said of the power of corpora tions in politics , especially in the con trol of legislative bodies , that many have come to bcliovo that the railroads are omnipotent at our state capitals. They are popularly supposed to con trol not only the legislative but also the political functions of the legisla tures , and the ordinary .citizen has a vague notion ot a vast and indefinable power that shapes legislation , appoints committees , cheese 'speakers , nomi nates governors and elects United States senators , all with the precision and certainty of a machine. This idea is so widely diffused that it must bo regarded as one of the accepted tradi tions of our politics. To a certain extent - tent , it is correct. Every corporation , whether u railroad , insurance compa ny or bank , largo enough to bo the ob ject of attack by legislative strikers , and anxious cither to protect or in crease its possessions and interests , must , of course , keep n close watch on the legislature of its state , and will , in the nature of things , do what it can to influence the composition of committees as well as their subsequent action , and will endeavor in all ways to advance its own interests. But this impression is incorrect so far as it implies that the open friend ship of a great corporation , or a con nection with ono , gives such prcstigo to a candidate as to insure his elec tion , or greatly to aid it. On the con trary , there is no easier way of arous ing a prejudice against a candidate which it will bn difficult for him to meet , than to charge him with being the candidate of a powerful corpora tion. Corporations in the abstract are unpopular , although in the concrete and this is especially true of railroads they are regarded as the great promoters meters of development and prosperity in every community. The farmer who knows that the railroad has dou bled the value of his land , the manu facturer who knows that it has given him ton markets for his goods where he had ono before , the business man who knows is has brought him twice his former number of customers by developing and settling the surround ing country , are nevertheless full of vague fears and hatreds of corporations in general ; and there is no surer way of commending a candidate for the legislature , or some other and higher olllco , to their dislike than to proclaim him a corpo ration candidate. The recent con viiss of Mr. Dopow for United States senator was an instance in point. Hie ability , his eloquence' , his personal rectitude , were acknowledged on all sides. It was well understood that , if elected senator , ho would at once sever his connection with the Contra railroad , and enter upon his duties with no responsibilities save those which ho should accept from the pee ple. His sincerity in this determina tion was not questioned. It was , ai the same time , evident to every ono that the success ho had achieved as a railroad lawyer was'as clear a proof o ability as an equal success in the management agomont of a life insurance company 01 a great business house , and it was freely admitted that there was notli ing intrinsically immoral or dangerous to the publio interests in a connoctioi with an important railroad , upoi whoso proper administration depend in a greater or less degree , the interests osts of BO many thousands of men niu women. One distinguished meinbo of the party , ox - Vice - Presidon Wheeler , who has never boon though to bo under the influence of corpora tions , had the courage to say that Mr Dopow's success as an attorney fo the Central railroad ivas a good reasoi for believing that ho would make an excellent United States senator , In the sense in which the remark was made it was unquostionabl ; just , But Mr. Dopew wa connected with the Central railroad , and that fact prevented hi election as senator. The timid moi who wore afraid to face the onti-cor poration prejudice of their districts admitted all those things that wer shown in his favor , and , moreover saw the' leaders of the anti-railroac party in the legislature supporting Mr. Dopow because they know h would represent his constituents faith fully. But ho belonged to the Central tral railroad. That won the whole indictment dictmont , but that was enough. And so , although for a month of ballotm ho received a majority of the republi votes in the legislature , the twen- y votes needed to elect him did not omo. Every person at all familiar with plitics of the interior knows that the listory is often repeated in mailer contests. The cry of 'corporation candidate" is like the Quaker's cry of "mad dog" sure to un like wild-firo , nnd often fatal , 'hus it happens that the help of the ailroads , to bo really useful to a can- idnto , must usually bo given under over nnd with discretion. Indeed , if oters would but see it. the dangers to 10 apprehended from tins drenu infill- nco are not that it will place persons dentificd with corporations m posi- ions of power , but that it will accom- > lish by the arts of indirection and ccrccy , chiefly in affecting legislation what it cannot acconiplish openly. It oonis to bo about time to banish to ho limbo of exploded traditions the dca that n candidate is helped by the > pen favor of corporations. POLITICAL POINTS.

There Is a minor that ex-Gov. Throck- norton will head an independent move in ? exaa , or an organization outsldo of the regular democratic party , for the gover- nrahlp next year. The longest and strongest editorial article in The Cincinnati Enquirer ( dem. ) m the nomination of the state convention or governor is the following : "Hook- valtcr isn't much of n politician , which la i great deal in his favor. Good politicians nake bad public officers. " Edward P.

Senator Lamar , of Mississippi , is inking nn active canvas for re election , and it is now believed that delegates lodged to vote for his re-election will be hosen in almost every county in the state. .Ir. Lamar made an elaborate address at Vbercleen. on Saturday last , in which ho ook occasion to commend the public course of President Garfield in high terms , md to dcplorn as a grent national calam- ty a fatal result to his present prostration. New Hampshire , like New York , is no of those states which is exposed to the > lagne of n legislature sitting in hot veather , when people are cross nnd irrita te and less easy overlook the wasteful- less nnd puerilities of which nil law-rnnk- ng bodies seem fated to be guilty. The nembers of the Now Hampshire legisla- ; ure get together early in J une. In for mer time.s they used to finish their work 'n three or four weeks , but the present legislature has already been in session nore than fifty days , and the newspapers of the gtato have just discoveied that noth- "ng has been done. ' Water-Ways to the Sea- St Louis Republican. There is no fact plainer in the course of current developments than ; ho 'quickened interest felt in the cost respecting water-ways from the west ; o the sea-board. The action of the w York legislature in submitting o the people an amendment to the constitution of that state making the Erie canal free , is but a manifestation of this. The motive of the action is 'ound in the fear of the obvious change of the current which has set in n the grain movement. The Mississip pi sweeps on to the sea as free as the ) coan itself and in volume sufficient ; o float the commercial navies of all : lie world. The obstructions at its mouth have boon removed , and these which retard its use in the interior are now beginning to bo well under stood and are entirely under the con trol of practical engineering. It be comes manifest that from this day forward the work of improving na ture's own great artery of our inter state commerce will go on. It is an apprehension of this which makes [ roe canals a necessity to any compe tition which looks to pormancy or to air/Important results. Although there was an element in the legislature of Now York which re fused to charge the state with this great burden , it is entirely nrobnblo the amendment will bo adopted. There can bo in the west no manner of objection to this increased facility for moving products of the country to the sea. It will give but another as surance of a healthful competition. It will contribute to bring the European market within reach BO that some profit may bo realized when prices touch the lowest possible point. But in the very nature of thiims all that region west of the Mississippi , and a wide portion of the territory east of the river , will go to the Gull of Mexico , floating with a current which never ceases to roll , and witl which the ice of a Now York winter never interferes. There will bo hero no winter , bringing months of delay as there will bo thorp , \yhatovcr nuj bo done by constitutional amend ments. lie Duo's Tea Form. Lo Duo'fa famous tea farm appears to bo a miserable sham and a pretense Commodore Saunders , long connectec with the Agricultural department am well known in connection with the National Grange , was recently sent to South Carolina by Commissioner Lor- ing to investigate the experiments ir tea culture of which Lo Duo hue made such extensive advertisements. Mr. Saunders has made his report to Commissioner Loring. Ho shows thai the tea farm is simply ono of these exhausted plantations of which the south has so many , literally worn oul by successive crops , without care or fertilization. There is upon the placa the ruins oi an old mansion once occupied cupiod by a former governor of the state , and an artificial lake in whicl there is a drop of water. The money expended by Gen. Le Due thus far seems to have boon mainly appropria ted to remove the old ruina and in at ompting to rebuild the mansion nnd aying out an avenue through the grounds. . It docs not appear what articular relation the expenditure of nonoy for that purpose has to the cultivation of tea. Gen. Lo Duo pro- ) oscd to fill up the lake , build an iron iridgo over it , and possibly to culti- nto his tea , planted in pots , on that ) ridso. The soil , according to Saun- lers' report , is poor , hungry sand , omo portions of which may possibly lave once boon classed ns a poor landy loam , but it now can support > nly the scantcst kind of vegetation , nul has scarcely a tmco of loam. It s in no sense adapted to tca-culturo. Mr. Saunders thinks that the tea ox- torimcnts , if they are to bo made at ill , should bo made much farther oulh , and ho believes that Florida irosents the most favorable condi- ions. Ho reports that at present some ? 300 per month is paid for the upervision of SCO worth of labor. The only results of the $15,000 appro'- > rialod by congress for tea culture are /o bo found on this farm. The place ias not even a stable for the mules , tin Saunders recommends that the arm bo abandoned and that ono per- on bo retained to take charge of the xja plants already there Dr. Loring will take the matter under advisement.
