Within the past ten dajs another new

mateiial is contilbuted by the Stale
Jonrnal , olllclal orpau of the U. & M
and dlsti Ibutot of campaign fakes foi
the railtoad lopnbllcan machine shops
The quantity of campaign fakes am

In twenty editions of Tlie Sunday I3ec

In declaring that "a singular feature o
the contest was that at least 80 per ecu
of tlie federal olllce holdeis in Omaht

secret that the present governor of No

editor of The Hee. But he cannot truth
fully say ( hat ho was over asked ti

tlio good will of the police commts-doi

The reference made by tin ? campaign

The dally papers of this state and of

IcisciT for spi catling infoiillation that

Is now cillicised for not making out a
sliongci case for eastern lellef contri

Tlie Ite'o has urged that some sys
tematic effott be made , liist , to learn
the actual facts , and second , to. moot
the demands which those facts , shall
show to o\lsl. The attention of the gov-
ernoi has been dhocled to the dioulh
situation and he has taken some stejH
toward Investigating the extent of the
emergency. Ho has , however , not yet
cometo any definite- conclusion as tti
what should bo douo. On the otllor
hand , the convention to wldc'li wo have
roforie-d has been ot srtmo service In
Improving our undeistanding of thesit-
nation. Kopoits made by delegates
fiom stcouutii'S represent that
some iHM persons are In npod of
aid of sonio kind. Wo take It that only
a small poitlon of these me in utter

the ralltoads are inclined to accede to
this pioposltlon. It also recommended
that all relief bo dlsti United thiongh the
county commissioners of the different
counties , and this iccommcndatlon will
commend ilse-lf as timely and wise. It
still lemalns to oig.ml/tc some1 assocla-
Hem of citizens , who shall ascertain
just what Is wanted , what classes of
aitklos and what amounts , and , who
shall take steps to sollcll aid from all

rlXAl ,
While the county commlsslonors are
wrestling with the IMatte liver canal
XiopositUm The Bee tontines the sug
gestion that the piomoters of the canal
be induced to include an electric tram
way as part of their progiam. An elec
tric uttlway fiom Omaha to riemout
would not only be a great card lot
Omaha as an adveiHsemont , but it
would prove of Incalculable advantage
to our local trafllc. It would place thlH
city in hourly coinminrtcatlon with Jill ,
hud , r.lkhoin , Waterloo and Fiememt
anil thus promote inoic Intimate tiadu
relations between the snbutbaii towns
and this city. It would enable
( he dairymen and tiuck fanners all the
way fiom Soymonr paik to the 1'latlo
and Klkhorn valleys to inaikot their
clioese , butter , eggs , milk and vegetable *
In this city vjther with commission
houses or the consumers. It would build
up a line of suhmhan manufactures ,
small farms nnd submban icsidcncc *
all along tlio cntho distance and It
would enihanco the value of oveiy acre
of land within live miles on either sldi
of the canal.
The construction of this olocttlc tram
way on the line of the canal would not
add to the general o\p ndliuro more thati
$ l ! . " > 0tKX ) , possibly less than that amount ,
There would bo no need of buying ti
right of way. The dlit excavated In
tlie coustiuotlon of the canal would
form the embankment on Hie gioatcr
pait of the line , and above all things
the imvor for operating1 the line would
be piocnrod at a nominal pi ico. On the1
other hand , the timnway would enable1
the canal company to maintain lu 10-
pair fence at auy \ low o\pensu nnd
teach any point that iveiuirod Iininc-
dlato attention within a cnuplo of hoim
at any Hmo of the day or night. The1
piluclpul outlay for the tramway would
be In CIOSH ties , mils , poles , wlios ami
equipment. This outlay would bo de
ferred until tlio canal Is ready to bi
operated , lieu the last part of the
subsidy In'comH pajablo. Tliorp Is ,
thoiefotenvifiy Ini'ontlvo to make the
tramway n-pUrt of Hie general scheme ,
whllo tho'1ob'.lactes ' lu the way of Its
consummaJloHflUro not Insurmountable.
In fact , tlic fiances ate that the tram
way \ \ \ \ \ lirty"1)otler than the canal us

and Hie country at large.

West I'olnt Republican- Editor Itosovvntcr
showed his nerve by Invading the eiumy's
camp and delivering : in nntl-tllchnr < ls\lajors
speech Iti I'remont. He was tendered n. big
audience. Hlchnrds refused to meet him on
the' platform.
The name of llcclier Is evidently one to
conjure with In t'lattc county. The re
publicans have nomlnnted Qus Hoclitr for
the legislature , and the democrats have fol
lowed suit by naming Ulctrlch Tlechcr for
the same office.
Miles Kentmyer Is said to be Jim North's
preferred candidate for tlic state senate from
the- Twelfth district , but he Is pledged tu sup
port iirj'nu "as long as he shall bo a candi
date for the scnatorshlp " This statement
Is n little strange , but 'tis said to be true.
Mndlxoii ISeporter Republican papers are
busy quoting pieiedcnts nnd declaring that
Hose-water's opposition to Majors nit ana the
latter s plec-tlon Therefore , those papers
ought to rejoice ami leave Hosy alone 1'eo-
ple are not llkeh In cry out when their tots
are not tramped upon
The success of the republican county
ticket In I'rankllii county Is
threatened by the- defection of the
nntl-monnpaly clement ot the party because
of the nomination of Tattooed Tom. The
county central committee has IsbiiwI an ap
peal for ' every republican In the county to
play fair and do a little work" It Is evident
the delegates from lYnnklln county to the re
publican state convention overlooked a bet
when they voted solidly for the nomination
of Majors against the popuMr sentiment of
the county.
O'Neill Frontier Republican papers of the
state are doing Majors , no particular good by
tilling their columns with trash about his
former proclivities Simply because he Is a
farmer is no reason that he should be gov
ernor. The state Is full of farmer * who
would not mnke good governors , and , on the
other hand , it Is full of farmers who would
fill the gubernatorial chair with ease , dignity
and credit. Let the supporters of Majors be
candid and tell the truth Say that he is a
farmer who does not farm , is a man worth
$2,000 or $3,000 and a professional politician
It they wish to add that lie Is a business
man and that they believe he will make an
excellent executive It Mill do no harm This
slogan ot * farmer" Ins been worn threadbare
nnd Is ro longer soothing to the oar. Noth
ing la permanent ! ) G ineJ by misrepresenta
tion
It is evident that some of the republican
papers of the state think that a lie per
sistently told Is as good as the truth The
charge has been made and reiterated that
Iloleoinb was a B & M. attorney before he
was elected Judge of the district court. This
has been denied time nnd again by the judge
1 but no notice has been taken of his stite-
' ment At a public meeting at Lincoln
Trhlaj nlsht Mr Holcomh made another
explicit denial of the charge an follows
} "I have seen In that orgin of monopoly ,
! the State Jouinal , and its various Imitators
; and subsidiaries throughout the state , that
i the pops did a bad thing by putting at the
I head of their ticket a former B. & M. attor-
| ney. I believe that I have heard something
of a sermon being preached on that bubjett.
I have never reael that sermon and I don't
know as I care to , but I want tu eay that I
have never been a H fi. M or any other
railroad attornej "
Silver Creek Times : It Is scarcely worth
one's while to read much of the campaign
literature in favor of Majors. The H & M
Journal ver > properly taltes the lead In dls-
! semlnatlntr It. It Is all about of the same
stripe and the reading of a paragraph or two
will answer for the whole lot. H we were
to sum It all up In one short article It would
run sonifthlng In this way "Tom will got
there. Damn Uosewater Tom has always
bean a farmer and wear * a hickory shirt.
Damn Hosewntcr. Tom swore he didn't
tamper with Ihos- census returns didn't
know anything abont it. Damn Hos'water.
Tom will be elected by a great majority you
bet Damn Uosewater Tom called out the
troops to put down the laboring men of
Omaha , The nionjbags are for him Uimn
Uoscwat > r. All the machine politicians aie
for Tom Damn Kosewater Hosewater's
sneech at Fremont made sixty votes for
Majors. Damn Uo ewater. Hurrah for
Malor.3 and his blue shirt , but damn Ho e-
water. "
Nemalia Granger : "Farmer Majors' ' " re
marked a 1'eruvlan a few days Mnce. "I have
known Tom ever since he came to the
county , and If lie tver held a plow bound
a bundle of grain or wielded a corr knife I
novcr happened to be present at the exhibi
tion , the fact is , he never had time to
farm " And then we remembered tint the
mat Lime we met Tom he vva& an otlicer in
the Nebraska First and was drawing a
salary of ? 12S per ; nonth. Later we ktiev ,
him as a member ot the territorial council
on a rnoderat * salary Afterwards he bo-
became a classmate In the state normal , but
was soon lured from hU books by the siren
song that told ot olllclal honors an I oflltlal
salary , and he was returned to the legislature
to receive but $120 foi forty da > s work , to
vote for United States tenator , which said
vote ho did not throw to tlie birds but held
the olllce of revenue
on to until lie wab promised
nue assessor In return , for said vote Aft r
ho had held this ofllce until It ceased ta be ,
ho again went In search of legislative and
congressional oillcea , and it we renvmb-r
rightly the only time the public teat has
been from betiveen his teeth was whin the
congressional committee exposd the ( riuds
of SI Alexander and Dr SchwenK and pent
him home to play peek-a-ban with Church
Ilowe Tom is not to blame for nut b IIIK
farmer. He has not had time to till tlie soil.
he has been ton busy farming the voters an I
writing a history of his dirlng as one who
went Into the army when a mere boj. .
