TIIK Lincoln & Fremont railroad re
cently incorporated , 1ms organized by
electing n board of directors nnd these
in turn hnvtf'clectcd n president , vice-
president , treasurer and secretary. A
special from Lincoln to the St. ( Louis
Gtolc-Dctnocrnl says : '
It is understood that proposition *
for aid will bo submitted to a yilo of
the people along the line within the
next week or fen < lnys , nnd if the
company meets with the BUCCCSI it de
serves in sccuiing aid , 'work will be
gin on the road \itliout delay.
There is the milk in the coconnut.
A company hrui boon organized to
build a railroad from Lincoln to Fre
mont.
The company has raised money
enough to pay for the incorporation
papers a ncnl and n preliminary sur
vey. If the people in the counties
nnd precincts through which this proposed -
posed road is to run , vote the
bonds to pay for building the road the
company will see to it that it is built
And when it is built , the con
strue tion company will find a pur
chaser in ono of the trunk lines , for
which this road in duo time will be
come a branch , nnd when that trans
fer has been duly made "tho com
pany" will retire with n cool 81GO-
000 or more in county or precinct
bonds in their breeches pocket. This
has been the true inwardness of every
branch road organized by onteq > ris-
in : ; citizens of Nebraska , whether
in Lincoln or in Omaha , nnd it
is safe to predict that is to be the out
come of the Lincoln nnd Fremont
scheme-if the people are foolish
enough to vote the bonds. Wo ex
pect , of course to hear from our Lin
coln contemporaries that TIIK BKJ : IB
nn Omnhn paper , and Omaha docs not
jyant a road from Fremont to Lincoln. ,
This is all bosh. TIIK BEE is in favor
of all the railroads that capitalists will
build in Nebraska with their own
money. If the men who organized
tlio Lincoln & Fremont rend have the
means to build such a road nnd nre
willing to risk their money in such an
enterprise , TIIK BKK will bid them
God speed. But when they at
tempt to build n railroad
upon capital that is to bo raised by
mortgaging the farms nnd homes of
the people nlong the proposed line of
the road their project cannot bo
commended. If , ns they represent , this
projected road is to become n connect
ing link for the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad thnt corporation is nblo
to build it nnd will build it withot
aid from anybody , justns soon nsthoy
think it will pay them to operate it.
Any man who will vote a mortgage on
his farm for the benefit of
railroad construction company is a fool
and any man who will vote a mortgage
on the homo of another man against
his will to 'pnt ' money in the pockets
of n brace of speculators is n knave.
These arc our honest , unbiased sonti
incuts , and wo express them because
wo believe our patrons expect Tin :
BUK to oppose every schema that
tends to enrich speculators at the pub'
lie expense.
A DREADED POSSIBILITY.
The dangerous condition of the
president once more brings the coun
try face to face with the possibility
of n change of chief executives. Such
a change is always n matter of serious
apprehension. But if General Garfield -
field flhould now bo called away there
nro good reasons for believing that the
nation would bo found in n much bet
ter condition to bear the shock of the
sad event than she was six weeks
ago.
ago.When
When the news of the nttnck upor
the president was first flashed across
the wires , the announcement like i
lightning stroke from n clear sky np
palled nnd stunned the nation. Pub
lic feeling was aroused by fnctiona
strife und rent by party passion. Ii
the confusion nn.l agony of tli
hour there was no opportunity fo r
reflection upon the constitutional BO
curitios against anarchy and confu
siou and no time to measure the safe
guards which the wisdom of the founders
ors of the government had provide
for just such times of peril nnd im
tionnl need. Distrust and fear mill
glod with factional recrminatioii
and cast a shadow of distrust upon
the sterling common souse of the people
plo of the republic which had so man )
times previously shown itself able t
cope with great national emergencies
But the long nnd weary sickness o
our patient president has afforded ti
the nation nn opportunity to taki
stock of its resources. It has facet
the danger which threatened it and
learned to place confidence in the con
scrvativo forces of the government
The death of President Garfioli
Would be even more soriousl
mourned to-day than it would liav
been on the fateful evening c
July 2d. The heroic traits of character
tor which ho has shown , his bravery
Ids manly patience , his genial temperament
amont , undaunted by suffering , hi
tender devotion to family ties a
have endeared him still more to th
American people than before the as
sassin'a bullet laid him upon a bed
sickness. Still , tlio conviction , bori
of a bitter experience , has grown upo
our people that though it
president may die , the gov
prnment will live. His nerveless
handsmuy drop the rod of authority'
but it will bo taken up by another am
tlio 'government will still survive ,
Hiilcrs may die the law never. A
wisely balanced constitution , an nbly
constituted government and n patri
otic nnd law-abiding people would
hasten to fill the gap. A new presi
dent would slop into the White
House , and with the chart of nn over-
lowering public Rciilimcnl by which
to mark his service , n government of
the pcopln nnd for the people and by
the pcoplo would till continue its
great work without anarchy nnd with
out disturbance.
President Gnrfiold's death would ele
vate to the presidency Vice-President
Arthur. It is safe to say thnt the
change would bo received to-day with
less biUcrnesfl than six weeks ago.
The course which ho has consistently
pursued since the great calamity has
begotten the confidence nnd even the
respect of the pcoplo. Should ho be
called to the high position now nccu
pied by General Gnrfield ho would bo
sustained and encouraged by the best
wiihcs of the entire nation. With
every incentive to follow in the stops of
his predecessor and maintain a public
policy which has been acceptable to
the nation there is every reason to
trust ho would fulfil the expectations
which his dignified and'manly course
hnvo raised in the minds of the poo'
plo. If President Garfield should die ,
which God forbid , there is every rea
son why , in tlio midst of the nniver
sal Borrows nnd mourning which the
event would create , there should yet
be n strong trust in the stability of our
institutions and the adequacy of our
national security. .
MR. TII.PEN , whoso disappearance
from Htato and national politics was
so industriously commented upon
some ycara ago , has suddenly reap
peared from his seclusion , It seems
thnt the old gentleman has become
tired of his favorite occupations ol
railroad wrecking and tax shirking ,
and once more is vigorously grooming
himself as a candidate ) for the presi
dential contest in 1884. Mr. Tilder
hopes that republican defection in
Now York will make n good open <
ing for a lively democratic
campaign. He has commenced opera
tions by endeavoring , through lioutcn
ants in the rural districts , to sot U {
delegates for the doming state convon
tionj in which lib hopes to win over
the anti-Tildon democrats by giving
them two good places on the state
ticket. This ticket Mr. Tildon ex
pects to cnrry through nt the polls ,
owing to the stalwart defection in the
republican party. It is asserted that
ho will bo the democratic candi
date for governor in 1882 , and , this
gained , the democratic candidate for
president in 1834.
Mr. Tilden rockonswithout his host
in several particulars. In the first
place Now York has had sufficient ex
perience with his political methods to
very earnestly rebel against his re
appearance in ttio political arena. In
the next place , the nnti-Tihlon cle
ment , hoadcd-by Kelly in Now York ,
will not submit to any compromise on
the basis of Mr. Tildon's candidacy.
Any calculations which have for
their basis widespread defec
tion in the republican ranks
will fail. And , finally , should Mr.
Tildon succeed in capturing the otato ,
ho will find all thn arguments which
were used against his canvass at the
Cincinnati convention still in force but
increased a hundred iold in weight.
The country has had enough of Mr.
Tildon. Nothing but a great finnncia
crash , the boon of democratic candi
dates , can boar him on its crest into
otlice by the votes of the people.
IT is certain that/crimo runs in fain
ilics nnd it seems to be equally true
that noble tmits of character nro also
hereditary. Following the oxnmpl
of his uncle , the founder of Vns
sar college , Matthew Vtissar has
bequeathed a largo portion of hii
property to that nnd kindred institu
tions in Poughkeopsie. The college
receives SIM.OOO , the Vassar Broth
ors' homo for ngod men $15,000 , the
Vassar Brothers' hospital § 85,000 ,
nnd the last named institution is also
made residuary legatee , giving i
probably n very largo endowment ,
Another charity , tha institute for the
Poughkoopsio Scientific and Literary
association , is not remembered in the
will as the urojeot was begun after
the will was drawn. The surviving
brother , John Guy Vassar , announces
that ho renounces in advance al
legacies under Matthew's will , am
will erect the institute as a monumcn
to his memory.

Tax Dodging.
Dcmer Tribune.
The press of the country is alto
gether too tender on tax dodging. II
is in pure essence n species of evasion
but little nbovo grand Jarcony in the
moral scale. The plea that it is nil
hut universally practiced has some
weight in excusing those who would bo
willing to pay their full share of taxes
provided their less scrupulous neigh
bors were compelled to pay up. But
alter all the plea is n weak ono and
unworthy of true citizens. Because
our neighbors dodge just debts is a
reason for exposing their dodges , bul
is no sufficient pretext for going and
doing ns they do.
Many honest poor men believewith
n feeling of bitterness , that ono of the
yuys to get rich is to learn to swear
ies to the assessor. The money thus
avcd , if put at compound interest or
hrowdly invested , accumulates rapid-
y and in the course of ten or fifteen
ears may made n man rich , who
ithcrwise would only bo worth a few
housands. It has almost come to bo
ho rule to condone this sort of mor
fanatic perjury , and to wink at th
ihrowdni'ss of tlio citizen guilty of instead i
nstoad ef insisting with' carnestncs
lint ho bo exposed and punished
Vnd it is olio ot the worst signs fo
.ho future that the toiling masses nr
coining to the conviction thnt there i
ono kind of taxation for tlio poor am
another for the rich.
Everv business man knows that it i
n favorite trick of rich men to have
Jiuir bank turn their money into ox
3inpt government bonds the day bo
tore they muko their return , and tc
convert the bonds back into mono ;
the da } ' after this dishonorable dodg'
is consummated. This is as bad a
swearing that one's property is worth
only one-tenth its actual valuo. The
very men guilty of this proceeding
when taxed with asking usurous
interest upon the inonoy they lend
invariably respond that they hava to
pay four per cent , of that interest in
taxes. If pushed , they point to the
law thus taxing money. But in near
ly every case they here perpetrate a
deliberate falsehood. They make no
return of their money nnd pay no
taxes upon it. All the interests they
receive is clean gain.
All talk about curing this evil by
changing the tax laws is simply so
much quackery. There is but ono
genuine remedy for this and kindred
symptoms of moral decay. It lies in
cultivating a healthy police sentiment
which is not afraid to force the richest
man to do his duty. This thing of
courting nnd cowering nnd toadying to
wealth must bo fought , ston stop ,
everywhere and all the time , by those
at thn helm of public opinion , whoso
duty it is to resist the encroachments
of shoddy corruption.

.OMAHA , August 20 , 1881.
To tlio Dealers Iti Spirituous and Malt Liquors
I the City of Onulm :
The undersigned , having been re
quested to act as u committee "to se
cure by the use of all honorable means
the enforcement of the state and
municipal laws regulating the sale of
intoxicating liquors in this city , " and
having accepted said trust , would
urge upon you , as fellow citizens , n
compliance with the so-called "Slo-
cumu layv , " at any rate that you cease
putting yourselves in open opposition
and defiance of said law.
Wo ask you in all kindness , can you
maintain yourselves for any length of
time in open opposition to the law of
tlio land ? In deciding this question
can law abiding citizens and lovers of
good order hesitate ?
Wo are not strangers to the fact
that among the means to uvado tlio
law it is suggested that grand juries
will fail to indict and tnxverso juries
ref nso to convict. We feel authorized
to give the assurance that no such tri
lling with law , with justice and de
cency will over bo tolerated in the
court oyer which James W. Savage
presides. It must bo a desperate case
where crime would seek immunity
from punishment through perjury in
the jury-box. Bo admonished not to
add this to the other oifenso.of setting
a known law at defiance.
Let us , therefore , urge upon you ,
notwithstanding the law may work
some hardship in your ncquiesenco
therein , that you observe the same
and thus avoid the atrifo and bitter
ness that is liable to follow your per
sistent resistance thereof.
A request from you will secure the
passage by the city council of the or1
dinanco necessary for n compliance
vith tlio law.
It must bo berne in mind that tlio
evils arising from the improper nso
and sale of liquors are wide spread
and every tliy apparent in this city.
Wo had hoped that the city council
would have passed necessary ordi-
lance , which would have placed the
enforcement of the law in the hands
of our city government. Such has
> ccn purposely prevented. _ It there-
'ore appears necessary , if any pro
ceedings are had , that individual cit-
/cns act. Having been requested tenet
net as a committed for this purpoio ,
although the duly devolving on us is
'
one that is not at nll'tastcful , and ono
which wo will enter upon , if con
strained to do so , with no little reluc
tance , still when it becomes _ apparent
that ii must bo performed , it will be ,
and performed systematically , thor
oughly nnd persistently. Not alone
in securing the enforcement of the
law , but in aiding such as nro unable
to do so themselves , in the prosecu
tion of civil suits for damages arising
from the sale of liquors in this city.
An impression seems to prevail
that in the absence of bond the dealer
is absolved from liability for personal
damage arising front the sale of liquor.
In answer to this urroncous view at
tention is called to section 2 of the
Slocumb law , showing that the liabil
ity in the same whether bond is given
or not.
Wo make no threats , we simply an
nounce n determination to faithfully
and conscientiously perform n trust
which has been given us , nnd this wo
shall do withno ill will toward any one.
Your follow citizens ,

THE MAYOR'S EDICT
Po Close Dp the Soloona on
Sunday Partially Obeyed.
Front Doom Were Kept Wide
Open in Some Cnsos.
The city marshal on Saturday night
informed the different saloon-keepors
that they would have to close up
promptly at 12 o'clock , and that they
would also bo obliged to keep their
places closed during Sunday. This
measure on the part of the marshal is
not under the Slocumb law , necessa
rily , as there already is a city ordi
nance for the closing of saloons on
Sunday. The marshal's mandate was
pretty generally observed yesterday ,
and the old topers were very wrathy
thereat. A few saloons , however ,
kept wide open doors , and seemed to
make no pretense nt closing. These
wore very soon located by such aa
were disposed to indulge , and the re
sult was that all who kept open did a
rushing business. All of them made \
more than enough to pay the s
fine j that might bo imposed.
Many other places were accessible
through the rear doors and there con
gregated the old "soakers" in , the
greatest delight. In a conversation
with ono of the aforesaid topers ho
said that ho deemed it as very great
infringement on the personal rights
of nn individual not to bo able to get
his regular liquid "rations. " Ho
said the town would be sure to go to
thg "demnitioii bow-wows" if the
law was not repealed immediately.
Ho took an enlarged view of the sit
uation nnd talked much on the consti
tutionality of the law. To hear him
ono would think that ho had made
the law an especial study for years.
Ho quoted the constitution with rela
tion to private rights and put hypo
thetical cases from which he drew de
ductions quite unanswerable. It was
suggested to him that the best way to
have the law repealed and regain his
private immunities was to follow Gen.
Grant's ndvico with regard to bad
laws enforce them strictly until the
authorities saw the injustice of them.
Ho said that might bo nil right , but
ho wanted to know how the citizens
wore going to tret their toddy in the
meantime. Ho could not be persuad
ed that the Slocumb law would allow
him to drink at all , and any way it
did usvay with iron'ing , nnd that
would work tlio greatest injury to
him , for therein had been his chief
means of obtaining drink. Finding
him irreconcilable to the change that
hud been wrought , ho was left to pen
der upon the numerous wrongs the
temperance people had put upon him.
Saturday night there was a great deal
of drunkenness noticeable upon the
Streets. It appeared that many were
filling themselves in anticipation of
the drought that would prevail yester
day. In many instances they were
successful , as their staggering forms
plainly showed.
