One of the firet problem which con
grew will be called upon to settle Im an
iucreiiHfl in the revcnun receipt. The
Dingley law ban proven a failure In the
revenue line. The Chicago Chronicle eaye
thut congreee will be called upon to act
at the Hppronching eeweion. Tho Ding
ley bill ha beeu in force lone than Hve
month and the deficit in tho revenue
amount to almoet 50,000,00(). Thi
Indicate a deficit for the flecal yenrol
more than f 100.000,000, although it I
powiiblo that the iucremmd revenue
looked for neit upring and eummer, may
reduw the deficit to $75,000,000. Hut
with a deficit of that amount It will be
almolutely Decenary to make provieion
for more revenue or negotiate a govern
ment loan, If t he deficit doe not ex
ceed 175,000,000 the preeeut treumiry
Hiirplue, w cured by the Cleveland eale of
bond, will jtit about carry the govern
ment through the current lineal year,
It I proper to ny that a hen vy deficit
wa expiated during the flrnt three
monthni of I he Dingley law, but tho rev
enue for the month of October were
much Hinuller than had been anticipated,
and no far they are very dienppoluting
in November.

vleablllty of further revenue legielation
In the mi'HHiige which he will traiiNinit to
congre at the opening ol the eeenion.
It may be hi policy to wait and ee
whet her bet ter reult can be had under
the Dingley bill than have beeu attained
eohir, Hut it can be wifely UMcrteJ
that If the receipt under the preeent
law do not how a large increaee during
the month of December and January,
th prcidcnt will end a epecial im
uge to congre early In February re
commending the enactment ol legiela
t ion which will relieve tho treneury.
What lie may have to ugget can only
be urmied ut preeent, but it I quite
probable 1 hat lie will recommend the
impoeltion of a tux on tea nnd coffee
and an increne in the tax on beer. It
will go hard with Dreeideut Mckinley
nnd hi adminitrutfon to ad vine the
placing ol tea and coffee on the dutiable

that tep to cMcape a doiid Innuc.

If wo consider the tremendoue advan
tage enjoyed by capital in it content
with labor, It I plain that the reaon
iug of the learned juriet ehould be ap
proved, They have power nnd influence.
In it conteet againet labor the corpor
ation or truat I not restrained by the
thought of a etnrviug family. It ha
only two object, profit and more profit.
The corporation ho no oul to wave, 110
body to starve. In hi dinxentlng opin
ion Judge Caldwell hay:
"Corporation are fanned olnly for
pecuniary profit. They defy all eocial
re train t that woultl have a tendency
to leHcn their divideiidM. What the
etockholder want I moredividend,aiid
tho beet mnmiKer I the man who will
make them the lurget.
The struggle I coueta 11 1 between thu
laborer wboe labor oroduce the dm
(lend and thoHO who enjoy them. The
manager I tempted to reduce wage to
iiicrene dividend, nnd the laborer re-
itthe reduction and demand living
wage. Hometime the Nt ruggle roochc
the point of open rupture. When it
doe, the only weapon ol defene the
laborer can appeal to' I the etrike or
boycott, or both. The weapon they
have an undoubted right to ue, no long
a they ue them In Denccable and order
ly manner, Thi I the only lawful limi
tation u noil their umc, J hat limitation
I fundamental and miiMt be observed."
The boycott I the only method
by which public opinion can find ex pre
iou. If the public diHiigrec from the
striker and agree with the employers,
the boycott will be harmle. If the
public believe that the employes are
right and that the employer I oppre.
ive, the boycott may become a power
ful weapon with which to reach arro
gauce otherwise nfely entrenched.
A the only object of a trust or corpor
ation I to make profit, anything which
tend to lessen it profit strike at it
most sensitive point.
With the boycott forbidden, there re
main to aggreived employe only the
right to throw down their tool. They
are deprived of the benefits which they
might have by merely organizing public
opinion. Thus, through judicial inter
ference, the public is forbidden to assist
iu protecting It weaker menibei from
the Impositions of greedy corporations
and avaraciou and heartless employ
er. The itty wruth of Jtobert T. Lincoln
over the marriage of his daughter,Jessie
Lincoln, to a respectable young man
who I a baseball pluyer by occupation,
end hi refusal to "r icognize" his son-in-law
Is a sample degeneracy of a noble
name fit to bring the blush of shame to
an American cheek. The bride Is the
graudaughter of a rail splitter and Mis
sisHippi flat boatman. If there is any
sociul regulation which forbid the buns
between such a girl uinl u respi-ctuhlo
base ball pluyer, it Is sale to siy Abra
ham Lincoln nor any oilier true Ameri
can evi r recognized it. Jtobert T. Lin
coln has been attorney for the Cullman
company for a number of years nnd
Mince Cullman's death has ttecomo i's
l.iutingi'r. There seems to be something
in the atmosphere of these great corpor
ations which destroys the spirit of Amer
ican democracy, f'-rtaui it in there is
an tippnlliiii; distance between tho cor
dial, kindly democracy of Ahnihiim Lin
coln and thi exclusive, aristocratic telf

Tbe Secretaries of the state board of
transportation ljegan work nt South
Omaha Monday of this week tukiug tes
timony in the matter of the complaint
of stock shippers against the new freight
rate on live stock which went into effect
August 10, of thi year.
It will be remembered tlnat the rail
road manager und attorney have in.
sisted that the change from car load
rates to one hut.dred pound rate and
stock shipments did not increase the
cost of shipment. Stockmen, particu
larly thoeii from tho western part of the
state, knew well that thi claim wa un
true for they hud proof to the contrary
every time they whipped a car of stock.
The Northwestern Live Stock Associa
tion, having himil'iinrters at Alliance iu
Hox Unite county, finally seat in a
memorial und petition to the board. A
preliminary meeting wa held between
the manager ol tho railroad and the
secretaries ut Omaha lust wick, but no
agreement could be reached and the
board gave notice that it would take
the testimony of actual shipper this
week. A brief statementof testimony as
taken Is given below:
Frank Currie,of Whitney,Dawe county
testified that under the old rate a car of
cattle from hi place to South Omaha
cost 00. On two or three occasion
since the new rates had gone into effect
he bad paid as high a f 7i per cur and
hi car were not overloaded, The di
tuuee of Whitney from South Omaha I
about 450 miles,
A Newberry, of Cody, Cheiry county,
testified that under the new rates It cost
him five or six dollar more per car
than it did under the old. Cody I
about JJ50 mile from South Omaha.
.Lit. Vuuiloskirk, of Alliance, llox
iiutto county, produced a number ol
way bill going to show that the ship
ment of the Name weight of cattle from
that point cost under the old schedule
something over evcnty-flv dollar and
under tho new eighty-six dollar. A he
wa not a shipper himself, but secretary
of thu livestock association, ami had hi
information ut second bund, the rail
road attorney objected to it liilraduo
tion.
(ienerul M11111I irsou, for the If. & M.,
saitl that the book of the ilililington
road will show that for the carry lug of a
like number of cars under the new und
under th old rate the receipt of the
company were over three dollars less
under the new than under the old sched
ule, On Tuesday the hoard continued to
hour testimony. Secretary Vanlloskirk
went upon tho stand. In the course of
his testimony ho secured the ndmission
from the Burlington officials that on
seventy-nine car of cattle shipped from
Alliance since the new regulations went
into effect the freight charges had uver-
aged f 10.40 per car more than under
the old system. Mr. Vanltosktrk said
that instead of 22,000 pound being a
f.iir weight for a car thirty-six feet long,
which wus the tar mostly used iu mak
ing long hauls, .'tO.lMH) and even .'l'J,(ioil
ptiiiiiilH was shipped with perfect safety.
Another Alliance witness, Win. I .Hull,
swore that let hud frequently loaded
thirty 1,000 pound steer or thirt.v-two
i)0() pound steers in a car.
At the close ot this testimony all the
railroads, except the Iturlington, filed
sworn statements showing shipments of
livestock over their Nebraska line from
ugust 10 to October .'(I, Hie charges
under the present system ant) what they
woultl have te-eit under the old system.

, beled "duplioute copy of certificate of

secretary of etato would open the dupli
cate and file the original unopened until
the canvassing board met to canvas
the return. This year, the same as in
all previous years, some of the county
clerk neglected to mark on the outside
of the envelope anything to show that
it contained election return. These let
ters wero delivered with tho stack of
mull and were opened by Mr. Porter the
same a any other letter. lie could not
tell what it contained until he had
opened it. A soon a he discovered
that it wu the return from some coun
ty he filed it awuy with the others. A
these letter are merely copies of the
record kept by the county cierks of the
stale and as the result um by the can
vassing board is always published, it
can be plainly seen thut tho secretary of
state could not, if he should so desire,
In any manner alter the return without
being immediately detected. The only
object the over zealous republican politl
ciun could have hud in making the pro
tost appear to bo an attempt to turn
the attention of the people away from
tho disgraceful record tho republican
party has made in this state.

The interest on funds tied

Hartley's biennial report show thut
the sinking and relief funds were in de

show that much of the time between re

The difference between the interest ac
crued anil the interest received I'rouislate

For the last two weeks sin, satan und
fine-haired sinners have had to scratch
gravel to k eep out of the way of Joseph
Jones red hot thunderbolts of truth.
The people of Lincoln have heard more
about sin of today, near by home, than
before in a long time. Sin ihousund of
yeur old n re dished up in large quanti
ties. We say God bless the Georgia
truth teller, no matter bow mad the fine-
haired sinner get. The worst thing
charged up to hi account is, he I a re
ligious calamity howler.

Where is there an oflico holder, either
city, county, state or national, who hus
ever done a thing to reduce the taxe ot
the common people. You can find plenty
who have done thing and tried to do
more to relieve the rich from taxation,
but whatever relief ih given them i sure
to be piled upon other tax payer. Hal
urie of all otllce holder should be re
duced to a gold standard and the num
ber of officer should be reduced, More
nnd more ofHcer drawing big salaries
do less ami less work. We have three
supreme judge and three uppointed
helpers seem to do nearly all the work.
At least they render a large proportion
of the decisions, Let oflico holder work
a farmers have to to pay their taxe
twelve to fifteen hour a day, and half of
them could be turned out to grass. We
hud hoped for reform with a reform
party, but it does not seem to come.
F.vcry pop seem to want just a much
salary as the republicans dared to take.
We will see which party will declare lor
reduction of suluries in their next plat
form, Shortcoming of the party in
power, alter this, will not bo covered up
by big majorities u with tho republicans
iu yeur back Little provocation will
change the party In power hereafter.
The bloody shirt party ha lost it grip.
Ollice holder must wulk straight or
wulk out; thut condition of things I
sure to give u the beet government.

Wo cant help laughing when we look
over nnd enumerate the extreme western
limit of arable land tit for settlement
and for home. Michigan, Ohio mid In
diana for u long time were considered
the extreme limit. The territory w hich
i now Wisconsin wa thought to be too
cold, and what is uow Illinois hud
no timber. To think of settling where
there wa no timber wa out of the
question. Hut soon the extreme limit
line wus tukeu up and moved to the
Missouri river and the west line of the
state of Missouri. Nothing but snud
and sand storm west of there. A few
travelers had seen the Platte river und
its sand bottom and that smiled the
destiny of the entire territory, when we
settled in Lincoln only twenty. seven
years ago, no one thought the upland
would ever be plowed. The valleys of
Salt and Oak creeks must furnish the
breud, and perhaps the valley of the
Hlue would be plowed. The next jump
wus to the base of the itocky mountains.
The lust rod of the great A inericun des
ert could possibly be utilized by irriga
tion. Hut at tho base of tho Itockic
everything must stop. Now, how is it?
The Gunnison ami Grand Junction
country is considered tho best sach ami
apple country iu the world. Hundred
of car loads of apples urn shipped to
I'Jurope, nnd teaches take the cake
everywhere they ure sent. Peach trees
yield a good crop ut five and npphs at
seven years, and if the fruit is properly
thinned out on tho trees when it first
stits, a crop is sure every year. Then
therein Itocky Ford, which beats the
world for raising melons. With luelstick
ing out of I lie sides of t he mountains nud
water coming down in rivers, the Itocky
mountains are sure to belilhdwith
happy, virtuous homes. Dont, say that
Uncle Samuel's good country is all occu
pied. There is room between Denver nnd
Sun Francisco for a hundred millions 01
stople to get a good living.
