Tyranny and Crime.
The people, iih iv rule, coinmou or
high bred, nro pronu to condemn a
political party when ouo of its mom
ich becomes a public Rervatit and
prostltutosdils ofllco bis to own Inter
ests. They stop not to consider Unit
man may bo honest in his convic
tions upou his election to a public
trust and that ho may turn renegade
without regard to sacrillco of his
party. They thou heap abuse and
roudeninatiou upon that party, nioro
mi than upou the individual who is
Rullty. ,
If wo would reform tho public sorv
ice in fact, as .well as in plausible the
ory; if wo would make good govern
ntcnt In federal, state and municipal
departments; if wo would maintain
universal good government; if we
tvciuhl aid moral progress in public
Affairs; if wo would substitute meth
od, order and good men for chaos,
crimo and criminals, our impulses
must bo stirred Into deeds by tho rec
ollection that every citizen, rich or
humble, is responsible for the common
wxffaro. The individuals composing
the nggregrte voting strength are
bound by obligations of conscience
aud their natural duty toward ouo an
other to cause tho enactment of proper
laws and to compel their enforce
ment. Crime in public otllco is a double
crime. It is tyranny and treason, It
is a crime of tyranny and treason for
tho author, a crimo of tyranny and
treason for tho Instigator, and a crimo
of tyranny and treason for till per
sons who are accessory to its perform
ance, The public otllclal who deliber
ately and tlagrantly violates his duty
is a traitor to his trust; the instiga
tors and accessories are traitors to
their sulfrago. They nro all tyrants in
that, by their crimes, tliey oppress tho
government aud tho people.
Absolutism is claused as tyranny,
liofug tho e.Ntremo despotism of su
premo authority. "Taxation without
representation Is tyranny" was the
inspiration that accomplished Amer
ican independence. Rut the despot
ism of democracy, which may become
pxtremo to absolutism, is tho tyranny
of licenses In olllces of public trust.
Absolutism Is the tyranny of military
power; crime In public olllces Is tho
tyranny of fraud.
Which is worse? Tho despotism that
is proiosM'd, cstaiilislied and open
tyranny; or the despotism that Is in
compHshed by Illicit acts under tho
mantle of democracy through treason
to country, state or city? The one is
tyranny without icpresentation; the
other is tyranny through representa
tion. Tyranny without representa
tion, in an absolute government, is
plain, frank tyranny; tyranny through
representation Is the tyranny of de
ceit aud thofl.
Valuable franchises are granted un
der liberal conditions to private cor
porations. The privileges bestowed
are larger aud more valuable than the
voters would allow and the remunera
tion to the public corporation is rela
tively Insignificant. The legislators
aro paid, personally, for granting tho
franchises. There is tho treason. Tho
iusulllcient compensation increases
the people's burden of taxation and
the lack of protective provisions in
the special law makes the public sub
ject to private domination. There is
tho tyranny,
The voters of today, In every city
and state, must realize that the tyran
ny and treason of peace can become
worse than tho tyranny and treason of
war; that tho perpetrators of crime in
olllces of public trust aro tho despots
of democracy, the foes of society and
the destroyers of government. Hone
diet Arnold was more loyal to the col
onies, though ho was a traitor, than
the criminals in public olllce, who are
tyrants as well as traitors, aro loyal to
republicanism.
Lovo of country, state and city; re
spect for principal aud public morals;
detestation of treason aud tyranny
aud tho aspiration of freedom toward
progress aro tho motives which alone
can elfect a radical change In tho pub
lic service. And theso motives must
not only bo felt, hut acted at tho polls.
Tho citizen who neglects to vote at all
elections, although appreciating his
individual duty as a citizen, helps to
make crimo in public olllce a virtue,
gives honor to treason aud pays trib
ute to tyranny.

When tho mellow haze of evening crys-
tall.es into night
And the eaith Is bathed In softness
from the moon's olfulgent light,
And tho stars that gem the heavens
peer at us with kindly eyes
From their distant azure setting in
tho bosom of tho skies,
What a Hood of contentment through
the being seems to play,
What a sense of blessed freedom
drives all thought of care away
Where the breo.es are the purest and
tho fairest (lowers bloom
In the restt ul peace and quiet oftlio
dear Nebraska home,
Where the whipporwllls aro winging
Through the starlit azure deep
And the gay treetoads aro singing
All the little birds to sleep.
Hero we live close to nature, seem to
Indolently rest
In the mollifying magic of care-de
stroyiug breast,
Listen to her soothing breezes breath
ing whispered lullabies
As her gentle mother lingers touch our
. slumber-heavy eyes,
And tho red glow of the heaven's
where the sun has sunk to rest
Far beyond the shadowy mountains
rising yonder in tho west,
Tinging with all its vivid beauty all
tho edge of heaven's dome,
Adds soft color to tho picture ot our
dear Nebraska home,
Whoro tho whipporwllls are winging
Through the starlit azure deep
And tho gay treetoads aro singing
All tho little birds to sleep.

railroads for tho transportation of tho
malls. Tho annual reourrenco of a
postal deilclt has naturally lod to an
agltatl n for a reduction in thorkto of
componsat Ion for carrying tho mails
It has been claimed that tho rates ro

in many instances newspapers may bo
sent by express at half a com a pound,
though the mail rato is a cent, aud
this certainly raises the presumption
tlui' tho express companies havo a
better contract with tho roads than
the government.
Tho railroads claim that tho rates of
compensation aro not excessive; that
