The republican party of Nebraska, while evor careful of property rinlita, anil holding no sympathy with those who would with tho com niuiimt divide, or with the anarchists destroy, roaMserls Its determination that tho great rail way corporations of this state which hold ro tations of eloHcst interest to the people shall bo the fairly paid servants of the state and not its masters. Tin work of legislative control in the statu and nation shall continue until all cause of complaint of exorbitant rates and unjust discrimination in favor of individuals of localities i-liall ee-so to exist. Assumieg the responsibility which fairly belongs to ! of having originated all legislation looking to railroad control and the creation of thost tii butials or coinmis-ioiiH which liavo been en abled tn grapple willi corporate power, the re publican party will see to it that by a 1 needed enlargements of power these commission, na tional and state, shall be armed for battle and r victory. While favoring such change in tho constitution of this rtatc as will permit the railroad commissioners to be elected by he people, it hereby voices its cotitidenco in the exist lug board of transportation, and commends its efferts to obtain for Nebraska the same tariff of rates for freight and carriage of pat eugors us is accorded to neighboring states similarly circumstanced. It is grossly unjust and a grevious wrong that Nebraska should pay more for the transportation of her products and tne carriage of her sunnlirs t nan her neigh- hoi's, Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota, with its 3 000 miles of easily constructed and cheaply uiaiBtatned lines of railroad and the republi cans M this state will not cease thir olforis until all wrongs be righted. We reallirm our aiher nice to the American system of tariff, unfler which, with its broad protection of American labor, our country has prospered beyond any other. As the business of the country now demands revision, the re publican, alive to the demands of ev ery mate rial interest, will see to it that such revision shall be made at the earliest practical day. We condemn the action of the democratic ma jority in congress in that after repealed pledges of tariif reform, it liio utterly failed, while h:iius a large majority in the house of representatives, where tariff bills must origi nate, to bring about buch reform, which must come f rem the party that has ever been the friend of the American laborer and producer. The grateful thajks of the American people are due to those who defended the union in the late war an 1 we are in favor of providing suitable pensions for soldiers and sailors who were disabled in its service or who have since, without theirfault or vice, become objects of public or private charity and to the widows and orphans of those who fell in its defense. Welnartily sympathize with the ambition and etfarts of the patriots of Ireland in their endeavor to obtain for their country the blessings of free institutions and local self government. We recognize i-i i harles Stew art Darnell and the Kt. Hon. William K. Glad stone worthy champions of the fundamental principals of the Declaration of Indepen dence. We condemn tho action of the president in his attempt to retlirn the trophies won by bravery on the field of battle. We condemn the narrow, intolerant and par tisan action of the democratic party in exclud lng from the privileges of state eiiiz"liship the half million people of Dakota, eolelv en the uu oaauly and indefensible ground of a difference i political views. Not content with their ef fort! to exclude the negro from the elective franchise, they now seek to proscribe an intel ligent, prosnerous and patriotic people because oi their political opinions. We view with alarm th abuse of the veto power py the president of tho United States, pewer from tho use of which England sov ereigns have abstained for two centuries; a power used but six times during the first forty years of oar national government, a power by the people intrusted to tho president for the purpose of preventing hastv legislation, has bv th present incumbont of that . nice been used to thwart the well ascertained will efthe peo ple and to resist their reneated demands. He has. in one-htlf of a sing.e term of office, uced the power more times than all the predecessors combiued. He has sought by all the prece dented use of extraordinary power, to consti tute himself a co-ordinate branch of the na tional legislature. Ho has frequently exer cised this "one man power" by the cowardly method of th- "pocket veto" bv which imp rt ant measure have been defeated without any roason being given for withholding its ap proval. "Why does the Journal only publish the tariff in the democratic platform. It looks as if it was ashamed of the ballance. The editor of the Journal has been successful in finding out who is not re sponsible for what appears inthellEKALD and has kindly told his readers. Now if he will only find out who is responsi ble, he will be quite well posted in the affairs of the JIekald. The railroads are at loggerheads once more and the old rate of two cents a mile for commercial travelers is likely to be restored. This is well so f ar as it goes. But no one ought to have to have to pay more than two cents per mile. The rail roads would then make enough and the people be better served. Speculation m the commercial centers seems to be on the decrease. But the general business of the country appears to be increasing. This is woll, less spec ulation and more solid business is what the country needs and the people want. Speculation means a few rich and many poor. Brisk business in all departments of legitimate trade is evidence that the products f the country are finding a market and that labor is finding employ ment, which must result in the circulation of plenty of money and comparatively good times for the poorer classes. In uch a country as ours all the people would bo in at len.st comfortable circum fiturccH if a market could be had for all that the farmers produce and if all labor ers could have employment at fair wages. And that now Hcfins to be the tendency, l'lattsmouth should now puli forward all her iniporvcnieiits bo as to reap full benefits of the better times and ter business. tho bet- Tiie president was criticised by sonit of the Omaln papers for saying that Omaha was "making a great city." They wanted Iiirn to say "Omaha is a great city," Now from the president's ttapd point he is right and could not without appearing to Hatter at the expense of the trutli have said anything more than he did. and he could not have well said less compared with the recognized great cities of our country; New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago; and Omaha is not a irreat citv for she does not yet rank with these. But that she will soon push to the front and rai.k with tho great cities there is but little doubt. And that the president realized that fact when he made the compliment ary remark he did, is quite evident, and the Omaha papers should be satisfied with what he said. Plattsmouth and nil Nebraska is interested in Omaha and will bo benefited by her growth and prosperity. Even her incipient great ness adds to tho convenience and wealth of all this region of coun try. Almost every day, many car-loads of hogs pass, even from Iowa, through l'lattsmouth to the great slaughterhouses of South Omaha. Her 100,000 people consume a vast amount of produce raised by the farmers round about. Her great stores furnish every necessity and luxury the people need or want and at fair prices. Omaha is now the pride of this part of the west, but when in stead of 100,000, she shall have 500,000 population and shall be worthy to take rank among the great cities, and future presidents viit h .r,we predict that ev.'n the very sensitive Omaha papers will be satisfied with what they have to say about her. President Cleveland and Iowa. The president is yery severely criticised by many of the Iowa papers for the man ner in which he passed through that state, particularly Council Biuffs. There were about 10,000 people at the depot to wel come him. The train stoppod only adVut two minutes and the president did not stand on the platform of the car more than one fourth of the time and Mrs. Cleveland not that much, she was on the platform as the train entered the city but entered the car as the train stopped and did not appearagain till the train started The Council Bluffs Globe the leading democratic paper of the western part of the state is yery bitter but lays the blame to (as it calls them) the "Omahogs". It charges that the reception committee frt m Omaha occupied the time of both ?lr. and Mrs Cleveland during the short stop. The Des Moines Register the leading re publican paper of the state says "Cleve land must have thought that Gen. ' Little lived there, or else he was bound to show on every occasion that he cared little about Iowa people," We do not believe that Mr. Cleveland much less Mrs. Cleve land intended any disrespect to Iowa, for if they knew any thing at all ab out Council Bluffs they knew that it was a democratic city of over 30,000 people. But the chances are that they had only heard of Omaha and when the gentlemen from Omaha boarded the train and were announced, they did not know that 10, 000 people had been waiting an hour. It was, of coursf. a great disappointment to the Council Bluffs people but with the exception of the democratic post master whom the colored porter would not allow to get on the car they have by this time forgiven if they have not for gotten the apparent slight.

The republicans of this c'6unty have by far the best ticket and it should re ceive a majority of the votes at the 2o vember election. Maynard Spink as county superin tendent, has given the best of satisf;ic ion and will have a large majority in his favor at the November election. Wm. Pool for recorder, will not only carry the republican vote, but almost every man who knows hiui will lay aside party affiliations and cast their vote for as good a man as vcr came before the county for auy of.ice. Calvin Russell is so well known all over the county, that it is not necessary to say much for him. There could be no better man placed in the position of pro bate judge than Sir. C. He has exer cised his able ability to the entire satis faction of those doing business with him for tho past four years. The republican nominee for county clerk, is a young man, a 3 years old, was born near Shrt-ve, Ohio, and came to Nebraska in lSK'i with his parents, re turned to Ohio the Ham-; year and was married. In Scptcmh r of that year he bought a small f arm in Center precinct, within one half mile of the center of Cass county, where he lias resided since, farm ing in the sunhu'T an 1 teaching school in the winter. He has been an advocate of republican prineipl s and a voter of the republican ticket ever since lie be came a voter, lias always taken a prom inent part in the politii s of the county and has been sent as a deh-gate from his precinct to every county convention since coming to Nebraska. He is tt son of a veteran of the late war. Mr. Critch f'nfld is well thought of in this part of the county and is known to lie well qualified for the position of county clerk, there is no reason why he should not receive the lull republican vote. He will make ever had. as good a clerk as the county O. W. Young, of Mt. Pleasant pre cinct is the republican nominee for com missioner of the see-owl district of the county. Mr. Younir has proved his abil ity as a financier. lie csnne to Nebraska several years ago without a dollar and has, by his hard work and frugal man agement accumulated a handsome prop erty and is now one of the well to do farmers of the county. No one has ever doubted Mr. Young's honesty and integ rity, and if elected, nnd there should be no "if" about it, will make an able, honest, upright officer. Mr. Foltz has made a good officer. But when the re publicans have a majority of the votes and have a good man why not let the democrat go. I'rfin the Eagle. W. H. Pool is a republican. He be longs to the party having the most votes. He is competent in every way and shape for caring for the office of recorder. The energetic sheriff of Cass county called when in town Monday. Helms made a record ns a thief catcher that is hard to beat. When he gets on a trail he follows his yietim' until he runs him into the shade of the prison walls. II. J. Straight the republican nominee for clerk of courts is well known in this county haying resided for years in the town of South Bend, until the M. P. K. It. was built west from Weening Water, at that time moved to Wabash, residing there until this spring. He is a man capable of coring for the records of our courts, and commands the resncct and confidence of the voters of Cass county. Hon. H. W.

In his former days of prosperity the per sonal habits of Mr. Henry Villard and his family were of the most modest character. A friend who saw tho family at tho opera describes the scene as follows: "In looking about me at the new opera bouse the other evening it is the thing to look about you up there; the boxes would be awfully cut up if you did not rake them all over I noticed across the aisle from where I sat (mine was only a poor $5 orchestra chair) a family of three father, mother and daughter. I was particularly struck by the plainness of their appearance, contrasted with the glint and glitter of the rest of the house. They were wey enough dressed, the father in evening suit, the mother in a white crepe shawl and bonnet; the daughter, a fresh looking girl in her teens, wore a brown silk dress and a black felt hat, trimmed with feathers, set square upon hor head. She evidently felt the cold winds that rushed through the lower part of the house, and had pulled across her shoul ders a white worsted breakfast shawl. I don't think that there is anything in the way of a wrap much uglier than one of these crocheted breakfast shawls; but I liked the girl's independence in wearing it. I will wager a ? 10 bill that there was not another in the house, and, what is more, not another young lady iu the house who would have dared to wear one. "In chatting with a f riqnd between the acts I said, for want of something better to say, 4I wonder if that girl wears a breakfast shawl to the opera because she likes it, or because 6he can't afford a cloak.' He looked and laughed. 'That girl could afford to wear twenty opera clo kg if she wanted to. Don't you know who she is? 'No,' said I. Is she anybody?' 'Welt; her father is; that big, German looking man sitting by her side is her father, and his name is Henry Villard, and his business the Northern Pacific rail road, as you are probably aware.' For once I saw a millionaire who did not flaunt his millions, who snt in an orchestra seat rather than in a box, whose wife was not sown with diamonds, and whose daughter could wear a worsted breakfast shawl to the opera." A millionaire who, together with his family. could be as modest as this in the days of his prosperity will find few who will not wish him the very best success in these days of his returning good fortune. New York Graphic A Rill for 815,000. Tho fees demanded by eminent New York lawyers are seldom small. A prominent lawyer relates that in a matter of litigation he recently called in the services of a dis tinguished Wall street attorney, whose career iu public life has given him great promin ence. The affair terminated iu a settlement outside of the court, ponding which some dinners were given, at which the principals and their attorneys came together. When the banker asked tor his bill from the attor ney the figures were $13,000. It struck the man of money that this was a trifle high, and be asked for an itemized account. The item ized bill read as follows: To retainer $5,000 To attendance on five dinners at Del- monico's, $3,000 each 10,000 Tttal $15,000 The banker is not likely to invite lawyers to dinner hereafter.

Aft'T the t iiiu wli-n the c-n diii r, seeing reason to antiei; :.-, a run, had thought fully locked the front door mid slipped out the back one, the editor of 'j'ho Jlrowiiville Advertiser obtained K avo to xamino tho hooks, and announced 1 1 i ti:o in-.iL isvji; of his paper that every tiling was seund, only time was needed.

Tho a .v.-ts of the concern con sisted of "stock nole.i, cT.'J.W; discounted paper at thirty and t.i::ty days, over $5,0uii; cash, over 1,001)." it surely required a western journalist, characteristically im pressed with tho need of maintaining puhliu confidence, to stitu t!::'.t such a condition of things indicated soundness. Suppose, for instance, that it should trans pire that the "steiek Holes' were -virtually worthless. Such a thii-.-r was not uncommon, as the stockholders of tho old statu banks used often to "pay up" I'm '.i- capital by giving their tersoual note-s, end iLen when oeeaoion offered they could t.iUo inea-ures to rnuko these notes entirely wort idess. Supjiose, further, that tho ULsco(iiit::(l paper had been received from those, v, ho worn not reliable, at least in a financial ci i.-ii. ,Suj;o-o also that the allcgod "cash" consi: ted of tho bills of other banks as tvorthloss as : u' ;o under investi gation, and suppose, fi.:u!y, that the bo..ks had been "fixed," and that iu reality mach more than $J3,W(J of euiieney bad been issued. Such wns very neariy il.o condition of tlio Nemaha Valley bank.

There would be' features b: the trade differing ju.-t so much from tho rail way department as to make a speeialite of it; tho management would have to devote them selves entirely to their particular branch, end the peculiarities of the bu-iness would soon become apparent to any bookseller not ab normally incapable.
