The populist senators will take the same posititiou.

The chief republican comnlaint atrninnt t) e Wilson bill, however, is that it does not o rod uce sufficient revenue for the (support of the government. This lack of revenue is not the result of defects in the bill as it was passed by congress,but resulted from a decision of the supreme court, which declared the income tax unconstitutional. There are many ways to eupply the deficiency without renew ing the tariff agitation. The mostdirect and effective method would be torestore silver and increase the circulating me dium so as to restore the level of prices which existed prior to the deironitiza tiou of that metal. If that could be do in;, the present tariff law, with the money derived from the other sources, would create a surplus and not a defi ciency. If the money powers are strong enough to postpone relief in that way, ample revenue could be derived from tax on a few articles which would pro duce revenue; or what might be still bet ter, a reduction ol needlexs exieuditures, such as extravagant appropriations of money for rivers and harbors, not re quired by the needs of commerce find the like. We do not r gard the Dingley bill as a reveuue measure. It is extremely doubt ful if it will produce ns much revenue as the Wilson bill. .Nor is it a tariff for pro tectiou in any just sense. It is emphati cally a tarff for imitation. ThediNcriin illation and inequality of the bill will create ureal disfitiliu-tion. It weems to us designed by the republican party to create such a tariff ngitation as will divert the attention of ine people from the misery they they sutler from a con traction of money and tn rule ol mono polies.

A Former Nebraskan Tells ot , tns Intcr- testing Events at the National cp,ul- ( The great events of the week are the passage of the Dingley iniquity by the bouse, the great speech of Senator Alleu last Tuesday and the caucus agreement of the populists and silver republicans. The Dingley bill was put through un der whip and spur. Many of wieold time republican leaders regard it as a dangerous aud pernicious measure, but bv methods that would disgrace the worst monarchy on the face of th earth, it has been forced through one branch of national legislature. ' After Its passage there was an adjourn ment until Saturday and neighbor Reed and his ass stanta have let go to spit on their hands. - There was needed legislation of various kinds,- B'lle have been passed by the senate which could well occupy the time but proper committees havenotyet been selected and so many of the members have gone home that it is doubtful whether there will be a quorum in the house on Saturday, and if not this will necessitate a further adjournment. The action of the caucus of silver re publicans and populists has created u pcofound sensation. There are three ways ol voting upon a question in con gr.;B, "Aye," "No" and "Present." Ir voting "present" a congressman h counted for the purpose of making u quorum but signifies in a public way that though not absent he does not wish to cast his vote on the question. We hopn that the reasons given by the caucus for casting their vote in this way and put ting all responsibility for the proposed legislation on the shoulders of the major ity where it belongs, will be published by every silver paper and read by every opponent of the gold standard. Most of the newly chosen silver congressmen voted to make the bill as unobjectiona ble as possible, but having said, and believed that the question umler discus sion was not of the greatest importance, weie resolved that theirfirst vote should not be cast on one side or the other of the tariff question and that they would render no assistance direct or indirect to the desperate effort to kepp afalue issue before the people. They have the satisfaction of noting that the result of their action iH not pleasing to the partisan leaders of either the democratic or republican party but that letters from their constituents pronounce their course to be a wise one. Senator Allen's speech was one of the really great ones delivered during this decade. His constitutional argument, his quotations from both democratic and lepublican platforms, his citations of the highest authority to show the number of our population injuriously affected by competition under absolute free trade could not exceed six or seven percent; his demonstration of the ab surdity of the argument that protection is for the benefit ol the employee, when the effect of thirty years of high tariff is to create gigantic trusts and monopo lies and make the working man abso lutely helpless, his exposure of the sub terfuge that a protective tariff ' will re sult in tlie prosperity of the agricultural classes, must be read to be appreciated and should become as familiar as house hold words to the peopleof our faith. There seems to be absolutely no de mand from the people of Nebraska for copies of the tariff bill. One of the con gressmen from our state has had but three rpquests by members of any party for copies of the comparative statement of the Mckinley sad f)injley tariff. Another ha had but one. They have requests for deeds, farmers' bulletins, books and other matter of ordinary im portance, but the tariff seems to be a minor issue with their constituents. Messrs, MarK ami tuttieriani nave much work to do for their districts and biiu have so far been able to accomplish very favorable results and haveobtained a retect able hearing in the councils of their party. Mr. Allen and son have started for Nebraska and w ill visit for a few days in I'hicHiro. Present indications are that there will be no adjournment before the flrt of July. The weahr ia a perfeet poem but we are told that there will m warm time in the near bilnre which will not he con fined to the Tinted States senate. . liKU. L.

As the address will show the problem of government ownership of railroads ia beginning to receive careful attention in the schools. This means much for the principle, for the better it is understood the more there are who favor the government control and eveventual ownership of all the railroads. Mr. Ooes said: "To every nation is assigned its own destiny. To every generation providence entrusts its own welfare. To every citi zen is given for settlement, questions of national import. Una of the questions to be settled in the near future is, shall the government control our great sys (,em of railroads. As we look about us we see the progress civilization has made during the last quarter of a century. In stead of the wilderness and the naked plains, we have the manufactures and the boundless resources of the country, golden fields aud blooming meadows. Here to are the arts and sciences, litera ture and culture, sculpture and archi tecture, education and Christianity. One of the most potent factors in this civili zation has beeu our great system of transportation. While our great gov eminent owes its prosperity in a meas ure to the advent of the railroads, yet they in turn owe their prosperity to the wonderful resources and industries ol our country. Rapid has been the devel- opemeut , of our civilization,, but still more rapid has been the rise of our rail roads, In influence, wealth and power until today they are one of the domi nant factors in our body pojitic. Hence the question. "Shall the government control and operate the railroads?" We are wout to paint our common weal tn and all of her industries In optimistic col ors, yet if we wish to see things as they are it is wise sometimes to slightly re lieve the canvass with pessimistic shadows. Keeping in mmd the benen cent results ot our railroads, let us notice some of the evils conuected there with. During the shipping season cer tain towns and individuals secure cars to the ' exclusion of others, Koada are constructed; towns platted, not entirely suited to the needs of the people and the resources of the country, but rather whero the railroad company will secure exclu-ive control of the real estate. Today is the day of the official car aris tocracy, representative of monopolies, politicians and wealth. Butoneof-the most unjust, pernicious and lawless evils is that ol the rebate system, ine stand ard Oil company, one of the worst mo nopolies of the present day received from the railroad company a rebate of $10,- 000,000 during a period of eighteen months, that is, the railroad company charged, nay more, they stole a like amount of money from every shipper hiivinir a like amount of busiuesn. The Question of strikes and wages will confron tusaslongasthe rail roads are in the hands of private individuals. The building of railroads has bsen an exceed ingly profitable industry duringthepast. Find, concessions are obtained from our government in the form of land grants and other favors. Next the counties are bonded for the beueflt of the railroads. These donations are usually to construct therond. The Union Paciiic was thus built. Later on the road is capitalized at several times its value, bonds are floated and the company has again se cured its full value. Inasmuch as the officials have practically disposed there. of by bonding the road it now becomes purelv a medium Of speculation. The liferent ol the road becomes sunservint to the private interests of the directors whereby their private coffers are filled. Is it etrange that so many of our rail roads are in the hands of receivers, as a result of the diverting of the profits and earnings into private channels. But the most baneful curee or all is the rauroao obbv. Where has there beenasesnton of t he state Ipgislature.of congress, with out its presence. Pauses are offered, money is used, bribery is practiced. Place the railroads under tne court oi oi our government and these evils will dis appear as they have in our otner neparc ments. - In addition there would be a "legiti mate saving in every department oi ine railroad business. Millions ot dollars would besavud annually in advertising. Instead of the many systems of the rail roads covering the same territory, there would be only one well regulated system, thus saving vast sums of money, yet the nterest of the public would not suffer. Thus the numbers of high salaried offi cials wiuld be decreased. No pasees be ing issued would increase the receipts. No money would be wasted lit lODDying. Ke a result of the decreased expenditures better wages would be paid, better roads would be constructed, better service and connections would be maintained. Then would we have one united, connected harmonious system extending all over this fair continent. Another result of government control would be a reduc tion in passenger rates, attain mere, would be a reduction in freight rates which would enable the producer to re ceive a surplus above the cost of trans portation. Belgium and other foreign countries have tried the plan of govern ment control and found it most excel lent, satisfactory and profitable. Amer ica is fast, awakening to the full measure o! her reaponHibility aud in the near fu ture she, will own and operate her rail roads ns she so satisfactorily does the postal system. Then let lis as students, citizens, rise up 111 our Integrity and man hood and Inrever settle the question whether our government consists in the divine right of the monopolies, is is a government of by, and fr the people. Todav in the dawn of the -'Oih century irt felt the impulse of a better, stronger, nobler era.
