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.

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 ,

should have a court house as substan

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.

There Is a minor that ex-Gov. Throck-

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. "

Senator Lamar , of Mississippi , is

and it is now believed that delegates
lodged to vote for his re-election will be

.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.

Dr. A. L. Snyder , of Bryan , 0. , in
a private letter to a friend in this
city , referring to Guiteau , says :
"Should Garfield die , the penalty will
no doubt bo death by hanging , but
should ho recover , what ? Eight years
of imprisonment at hard labor I under
stand to bo the extreme limit of the
statute , and right hero I wish to make
a suggestion. The statute does not
designate the kind of labor , or whether
performed in darkness or light. I de
sire not that ho should bo barbarously
punished , but would suggest that ho
bo placed in utter darkness for the
full period of his servitude , allowing
no ray of light to reach him until it
wnH entirely completed. 'If no moro
appropriate industry could tib devised ,
1 would place him upon a tread-mill ,
that ho might furnish power for some
light industry. At the end of his ser
vice , should ho live , ho would bo an
interesting subject for scientists , and
I think no ono would fear him. "

HONORED AND BLEST.
When a board of eminent physi
cians and chemists announced the dis
covery that by combining some well
known valuable remedies , the most
wonderful medicine was produced ,
which would cure such a wide range
of diseases that most all other reme
dies could bo dispensed with , many
were skeptical ; but proof of its merits
by actual trial has dispelled all doubt ,
and to-day the discoverers of thai
great mtincine , Hop Bitters , ore
honored and blessed by all as benefac
