I notice in your number of November
lH, a communication from lion. Addison
H. Sheldon, which starts out with the
following proposition:
"If the men who voted together at the
pollH in Nebraska November 2, for the
state ticket elected are Minceie, earneHt
ami practical in their desire for relief
from corporation rule in the state and
nation they will meet in one convention
next year."
Without any wiah to question thesiu
cerity of llrother Sheldon, I hope for his
pardon when I nay, with all frankness
that, in the present writer's liumblu
judgment, the article in both untimely
and ill-advised. Anew party cunnot be

I wan sieved upon an the occasion of or
I guiiizing a new political party.
The IrlMh famine ol INK, am 1MHS,
cauHed by the potato rot, lead to a large
Irlnh emigration to America, Kailroad
building had junt ','ommenced and l'at,
with hie proverbial nhovel, wan in great
demand. Thin Irixli-Cutliolic element
came indirect contact with New Hug
laud puritaiiH, the dcKcenduntN of the
men who Mtonned Drogheda' under
(Jhver I'romwell. TIiIh contact of oil
with quicksilver evolved knownothing-
IHIIl.
The anti-Maaonlu and the know
nothing (native American) partiex, each
in different elections, carried the elector
al vote of a single state.
The prohibitory party is made up of
as sublime a lot of heroes as ever clus
tered about Ijeonidas at Thermopylae.
Hut they have failed.
Brother Sletldon should remember that
flu pupiiiistie party Is still un experi
ment. Thus, far it has attained no
greuter Nuut'css than did its predecewsor,
the native American party, and not
much more than did the anti-Masonic
organ 'zation. These old parties failed
beiwuiHH there was no real ileiiiauil for
their existence. The prohibitory party
has faileil, because it tried to do too
much. The populistic party is liable to
fail lor the same reaHou, last given.
Now let us look at practical politics

contractors for uavnl supplies ol any

sary buildings and machinery can be
erected for f JOO.OOO, A good enough
thing to do, no doubt, so long us Ihe
notion prevails that this nation must
imitate military despotisms instead of
being true to the letter ami the spirit of
IU constitutional democracy, und es
tablish a better order iu which gunpow
der and guns would be superfluous, or
needed ouly lo maintain our right and
resist attack.
How many thing there are which
this nation could do Unit would be so
much better than always preparing for
that sink of all In justice, war! Alreudy
the very perfection of the enginery of
war operates to preserve the peace hold
ing the nations in fear of each other be
cause of the horrible devastation they
are capable of committing. Why then
longer endure the prodigious burdeu7
Why not see the folly of It und put un
and to it? There in no longer need for
standing armies, except lo protect en pi
tallsls in the possession of the surplus
venue created by and rightfully belong
ing lo the world worker. I crtainly in
the United State no need exist for sol
diery except to enable the capitalist
clas to enslave freemen. Our people
are courageous ami resourceful enough
to maintain their native rights, und
would be far more effective In doing
it lor their "iiln countrie" and their own
security than they could be for a coun
try and government controlled by trusts
and syndicates whose met hod have
closed the opportunity for bvinggetting
to millions und constantly level down
Ihe man of small mean to a condition
of dependency on corporation.
What the country needs most is not
powder factories, and battle ships, and
arsenals, and soldiers, but larger free
dom lor nun hundred years of construc
tion for the security of all theiieople and
iu that alone will be found Ihe best
security for those who now exploit the
people and endanger the count r Inter
ests. Coming Nation.
A privuto monopoly is operated for
the benefit of the stockholders, and the
question is, How high a rate will the
people stand? A pub'ic monopoly is
osrated for the benefit of the public and
the question is, How low a rate can we
make and pay running cxiienws'.' No
dividends nr desired. It woold seem
that a level heuded person would not
wait long belore making up his mind
that the public monopoly was the one
for him, and yet there are a great many
intelligent people who are In favor of
private monopoly. McCook Courier.
