And then bo add the great central law, rejected ami ignored by tho church viz: "And If ye lend to thorn of whom yo hope to receive, what thank have ye, for iuuer ulno lend to alunera to receive bm much again, nut lovo yo your cuomioM, and do good und loud, hoplug fur nothing uguin."

CAN'T DENY ITS OWN STATEMENTS Hayward Mixed up With the Old Ring of , Impeached State Officers; Some Republican Testimony. If anything was necessary to establish the fact that M. L. Hayward is a corporation tool that fact has been well established tluring the past two weeks. It lias been demonstrated that although M. L. Hayward wanted to be a candidate for congress in the First dis trict the railroads insisted that he should be a candi date for governor, and that he admitted to Judge Hen S. Hakcr: " The 15. ik M. will not let me run for con gress." It has been established by the testimony of the Omaha Ucc, the republican organ, in its issue of June 7, 1893, that "Hayward has been the recognized attor ney of the H. & M. at Nebraska City for years," that the railroads "assigned Hayward" to defend one of the impeached state officers; that after the acquittal of those officers it was proposed to run Judge Hayward for the supreme bench at the election of 1893 and that the proposition "was immediately indorsed by the trio whose reputations have emerged white as mud from an immersion in supreme court ink." It has also been established by the testimony of the Omaha Bee, the republican organ, in its issue of October 26, 1893, that "Judge Hayward of Otoe was injected into the contest by the railroads and the im peached officials whom he defended before the su preme court." The World-Herald now proposes to prove that Mr. Hayward is a railroad republican from away back, and in support of this claim the Worle-Hcrald j:alls as a witness the issue of the Omaha Bee of October 2, 1893, which contained the following editorial: TIIK Miai AGAINST MAXWELL. When the republican state convention assembles next Thursday all the delegates not instructed for Maxwell will be importuned to range themselves in line with the pronounced opponents of Maxwell under pretext that failure to instruct for Maxwell must be in terpreted as a demand for his retirement. To organ ize the field against Maxwell and wear out his sup porters until enough delegates have been secured by railroad boodle or . state house patronage has been from the outset the plan of the conspirators who have massed the corporate forces and their confederates at the state house in a desperate effort to depose Judge Maxwell. The strenuous elTorts of the railroad mana gers and state house ring to bring candidates in the field from every populous county that has not proved a howling success. It is to the credit of the Nebraska bar and bench that only half a dozen lawyers have yielded to the temptation of securing notoriety and rendering themselves- serviceable to their corporate employers by entering the lists against Judge Maxwell. Tlie field as it is now composed consists of the fol lowing candidates; Then comes Judge M. 1..

THE LOST INHERITANCE. Tb PeopU Ht Allowed the Gift of Their Kstherl to He Takou Away. Wbon more than a century ago our young nation rejoototl ita stupid, wooden Loaded king, Goorga III, und threw out the oturry ting of freedom, it wuk the jubilee of man. Politic and religion embraced, and tho law of Chrixt became for a moment the creed of tho Htreet. Thero wero equal chanced for all men. Tho dice in tho n;uno of lifo wero not loaded, tho cardx wero not marked. Tho wildcrnoHM was freo land, and tho wilderneHM wuh every where, Kvery man wum a farmer, u t ruder or un art I an that In, every mun wan a worker. Thero wero no lnrgo towim.

Thero wuh not u trump or a dudo in America. Tho quick touch of practical human brotherhood wan felt noroHH tho land, oven in tho ,rudont nud roughcHt phuneHof pioneer life. Knergetlo pro duction und fair diHtribalion went bund in iiiind. Tho liborticH of the nation rented on a wiliHtantial equality of free and happy humcH. That wum America it hundred yearn ugo.

Tho era of invention dawned. Tho genii of nature became tho HervanlH of mun. Tho Hcbeming bruin of invention cup tared Hleani, bridled tho lightning und humcHKcd tho windH, tho water and tho Molar forccM to human Horvico. Tho machinery of America beenmo cquul in producing power to 00,000,000 of men. One man could do t he work of 40. The weal Hi of the nation multiplied u hun dredfold.

Capital wuh organized, perceptive and brainy, whilo labor wan divided, ignorant, blind, ho labor went to the wall. Tho workmun wuh riveted to tho machine. Tho mlllioriH were Hucridced to tho millionaire. A hundred shoddy king! divided tho inheritance of tlie peoplo. Pauperized horden wero crouted on thoruiuHof tho primitive hamlet and fumily. Tho wolf mipporting yeo manry became dependent wage earner. The mippluntcd mechanic becumo a Hur pluH commodity, to reappear uh a beg gar, a criminal or a trump. Coul, iron, oil and cotton bocumo tho now doHpot of toil. In tho place of the thick tikulled Georgo III, who leurued nothing and uuderHtood nothing, came tho monarch of tho exchange, tho factory and the mart, to whom the exploitugo and legal robbery of their fellow men wuh the fluent of line arts.
