" A Proletariat Sen&to
In the poor, poverty stricken Ne
braska senate, where every man is a
republican, there is not one able to
pay bis way on -the railroads. Every
one pf them has to accept of railroad
alms to get ba-u and forth from the
cpal his. home. Who ever thought
when we first made our way over
these-plains with tz teams, paying our
owrt jway that the . time 'would come
fifty, yeargi, afterward, when we should
hare a proletariate senate to make laws
J for us, no one of Vrhom could pay "his"
I own way? What joy would the thought
I of 'that have "given to CaxlMarx!
.Jt'is not Jiardly fair to "the widows
aljQrphan's'Vfor the members of the
Nebraska legislature to beg all the
cdsrof their 'travel' from the railroad's!
It wpujd have "evrped up ' thing3 more
if they had passed the bat around
among5 the peopM- generally and got
I ; enough to pay their' transportation ex-
I penses, thtir to'Mve put all the'bur
I den bn'the-''Vidws and orphans" who
own .the railroad stocks ana bonds., In
behalf, of the "widows and orphans,'! I
I The s Independent suggests that the
I members of ttie 'legislature "return ; tneil

I Independent will chip In ten cents a
I piece fo- them. -

I " An Opftn Accusation

Nebraska legislature, says ; : ;

I has thus been made to "throw dirt"

at. them. They say. they don't mind a
j fair, open rassertion or accusation, biit
I that veiled slurs are very distasteful.
I Glad to hear that is to, and here
I goes with "a fair open assertion or ac-
ctraation." The Nebraska legislature
j Is a miserable lot of fakirs, getting
J alms on one hand from the railroads
I in the form of full free transportation,
J when the Charity Organization sbciety
I can with difliculty get only half -fare
I for other paupers that' it vouches" for,
$ and on the other hand swindling the
I "widows and orphans" who own rail-
road; stocks out of a share of their
J earnings because all these fellows rifle
I free. The "widows and orphans" could
get a good deal mbre in dividends if
1 the pass business wa3abolished;
i The "fair, open assertion or accusa
I Jtipn" that The Independent makes is
I that the : members of this legislature
I are frauds, jU3t .like the feliow who was
I playing deaf and dumb and begging on
I the streets, that the Charity Organiza-
1 tion had arrested and who was tried
I oeiore a JLincom court and sent to
I jail for sixty: days; They are, not so
i desperately poor that they can not pay
their own fare ail not saddle the tost
I o? their travel on , those who do pay
J tfefr fare, or, ifthat is not done, rob
i the 'widows and orphans" in lessened
I dividends' You are a miserable lot of
I proletarian grafters, the sort" of vil
I lalns spoken pf in the scriptures who
I are reaping where you have not sown.
