This Is the kind of a novertunent that
Alexander Hamilton wanted in the in

Very Candid.
Kdil or Ladd or the Albion News, one
of the prominent rural republican pa
pers in Nebraska, nlves vent to his ted
inns with reference tothe recent state
convention, as follows: "We have
heen subjected to a (.Meat deal of Kuy
inn since the republican convention,
and many want to know when' we
stand alter the inannllicent victory of
the railroads. We are the same dashed
old 'fool we have always been. We are
for llie ticket. If It is necessary to
net a railroad rinn in our nose, our
nose yearns for the nun. If it is to
hell with the people and hurrah for the
lobby, we are at. the front with bed
and hurrah." Mr. Ladd is president
of the Nebraska Press Association, and
is very candid lu his assertion, but
what is the use ot it when he (Toes rlnht

Railroad Assessment $46,000,000.
The railroad assessment in the slate
has at last been accomplished by plac
inn It at lii,noi,inio. Last year it was
7,niHi,oun, in round numbers, so the
increase is a hunt seventy per cent.
I'd eeueral opinion seemed to prevail
that the raise would easily run up to
about $i;ii,imio,ikhi, which would have a
little more than doubled the assess
ment, and would thus he an equal in
crease with other property. Those
who are familiar with the situation
think that the lailroad taxes this year
will he less than last. While the as
sessment has been increased, the levy
will be so much lower as to lower the
taxes. If this is true, who i.s eolne to
pay the increased taxes which the state
requires to meet expenses and indebt
edness? Now and Then.
Fifty years ano there weir less than
a thousand while people in Nebraska
territory, today more than a inillion.
The total wealth then was probably
not iHiii,iiiio, now bet ween one and t wo
billions. Then there was not a siunle
