A LEAD-PIPK CINCH.
It is a dead moral certainly that the farmers tf Nebraska must
tliis year ami for several years suiter from tlie elTcfts of "republican
reileiuiitii'ii."
There is no escape, Hut the amount ami decree they must sillier
depends upon the state hoard's action in assessing the railroads.
In the tiist place, the state hoard's act ion in assessing the railroads
will imt now cliane the fact that the railroad-ridden "redeemers" in
the legislature of VM appropriated at least a Million hollars more of
the peoples' money than was needed to carry on state ovei iimenl for
two years. For example look at these t'u'ures:
Appropriations hy the "Redeemers" in l'M :l,Hii,"Si. "0
Appropriations hy the Fusionlsts in lS'.i; 12,:;.',S l.t. to
llepublican Increase il,40l,4;i7.;;o
- .mil-
An increase of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars was probably nec
essary to meet the urowinn needs of the state - but. no sains man be
lieves an Increase of Fourteen Hundred Thousand was necessary. It
was nothing short of the wildest extravagance.
Now, the appropriation was made, and warrantsj'.w ill be drawn
against most ot it substantially all, in fact, by March M, l'.ki.l. The
warrants must be paid some time, and until they are paid, they are
part of the state's iloating debt.
This "Moating" debt bears 4 per cent interest on all registered war
rants. Hence, the longer payment is delayed the heavier is tlie burden.
The republican party is responsible for every dollar of the state debt.
They caused every dollar of it. On
November :50th, isss, the Moat ing debt was" $ lOiiJtirj.iiii
Kight years later it was l,!C.(i,'J7:i.4"
Nov. 30, l'.iOi), the fusionists had reduced it to. 1,"27,4 17.72
And 3 years later it had climbed up to l!,ot.'t,l".-l
That tells the story. Every dollar of it up to November ln-lh.Wii,
was a republican debt. That must be conceded. And four years later
the fusionists left it -OS thousand dollars less than w hen they came in.
liesides the fusionists paid oil every dollar of the slate bonds. 1'nder
no possible method of ligureing short of actual lying ran It be shown
that a single dollar of the state debt today Is even remotely the result
of fusion administration.
Up to November :J0th, liMKI. the "redeemers" had Increased the
debt S.-:io,0)0. It was then $J2i,to:i 74 greater than it was 7 years he
fore, in the palmy clays of Joe Hartley an increase of nearly 17
per rent.
Joe wasn't regarded as a howling success as a financier, at least not
for the people; but he, after stealing and losing upward of a million
dollars of the taxpayers' hard earned money, did better t han the pre
sent republican administration. At any rate the Moating debt will
bear that construction.
Now, if the state board had assessed the railroads as high, dollar
for dollar of actual value, as the county assessors and their deputies
have assessed the property of farmers and other business men, then all
property interests would suller alike for the folly of the republican re
demption of 15)00. The railroad assessment was made lower, dollar for
dollar of actual value, then had been placed on other property, and the
FARMERS WILL CATCH IT COMING AND GOING.
They will be compelled to pay their own share of the extravagant
appropriations of liio.'i and they will he compelled to pay a large por
tion that ought in rlght-and justice to fall upon the railroads.
That's the situation in a nutshell. As was said In the beginning,
it's "a lead-pipe cinch" that the fanners of Nebraska will pay a heavy
penalty for so industriously shucking corn on election day.
"Vote'er straight." Otherwise, shuck corn.

Money and V.tluablat Poioe in
Pursuit of Bandits.
I'es Moir.is, Se; t. 14. Five bam'-iu
pei-petriUeu a mii i csinl holdup of a
liasscuser train .u tlie Km U Uh ti l
l.car Letts. The ttaut;n iitb ot opivss
officials aio tliut they fceured no
money, though thu safe was blown
Ojicti. Threw fi'cilul trains, uu which
aro posses of railroad iiud express
company employe nml a number of
ollkers, were rushed, to the sceno of
the robbery immediately upon the re
ceipt nf thu news, going from Musca
tine, West Liberty and Puvcbport.
Horses were procured In the country
iurrounJim Columbus Junction ami
In that town, near which point the
rubbers left the railroad. Mounted
men with bloodhounds aro now scour
ing tho country for nillos in every
direction in an effort to upprchoml
tho robbers. The engineer and fire
man of the train furnished pretty ac
curate descriptions of three of the
men.
Tho robbery occurred nhuut six
nillos out of Mtifcatlne and near
Frnltlniul. The train known as No,
11 Is a through Chicago nnd Kansas
City train. The robbery was at tho
end of a sharp etirvo and exactly
when? a similar holdup was engi
neered two years aj?o hy tho Chicago
car hnrn bandits. Tho engineer, as
the train rounded tho curve, saw a
red lantern on tho track and Immedi
ately stopped tho train. Immediately
thu engine, express car and hnggngo
car were ixianled by tho robbers, ap
parently five in number. A fusillade
of Bhots waa fired along tho sides of
the train to prevent Interference by
passengers. Tho messenger of the ex
press ear was compelled to open tho
door. The car safe was liursted by
dynamite ami tho contents taken,
after which the engine crew was com
pelled to return to thu passenger
coaches, tho engine cut off anil tho
robbers mounting It, ran it through
Letts nnd to within two miles of Co
lumbus Junction, whom the englno
was left standing on the track. Tho
manner In which the robbers handled
the engine convinces the omiors that
the n.bbers or some of them arc ex
perienced railroad men.
A tall man, supposed to be one of
the train robbers, is reported to have
been seen entering a hnrn on tlie Illi
nois bottoms, ncross tho river from
Muscatine. The Muscatine authorities
have wired the Illinois officers to ar
rest liini as a suflpect.
Engineer Dunham, engineer of the
train which was held up, says that ho
saw the robbers tnlie money from tho
safe, hut they did not get f.o much
as they expected.
