NOW AND THEN.
An itenerant string band was
on our streets Saturday and
spent the day picking1 up the
stray nickels of t h e music
hungry crowd. Saturday night
it was playing in front of the
Gehling and while the music
was verjf ordinary an immense
crowd remained until the last
piece. What a God send good
band concerts would be. There
is so little to amuse us , so little
that is out of the dreary mono ,
tony for those who must of ne
cessity remain at home all the
summer , that it seems some
means could be devised to help
us pass the time eivjoyably.
Ili.iwatha has a band , and a
good one so the story goes ;
Palls City has plenty of musical
talent and plenty of instruments
to make up a good band. We
call this to the attention of
Prof. Ilarnack.

The string band played "Die
Waclit am Rhein' ' in front of
the Moore Pharmacy Saturday
morning much to the delight of
an old German who was in town
to make purchases The old
fellow's face brightened at the
first strains of the song ol his
Fatherland and he could scarce
ly restrain'his emotion. At the
conclusion of the piece , he stood
in front of the crowd and in a
worn broken voice sang the old
air with a fervor of gestures
that indicated his enthusiasm.
Some of the by slanders laugh
ed , but not many : one' said the
old man was "full , " "Not on
your life , " replied the man who
knew. "He is patriotic , that's
all. If you want to know how
he leels , just you get on the
other side of the water and away
from God's country as long as he
has been away from Germany ,
and just let a band start up "Oh
say can you see by the dawn's
early light , " and if you don't
want to sing it , and if your
heart doesn't beat a little fast
er , you're no good American ,
that's all. The crowd wanted
the old man to sing another
verse and applauded him vigor
ously , but he declined and walk
ed to the other side of the street
entered a wet goods establish
ment and sat at a table over
liis glass of beer a long time.
What he was thinking or
what mental pictures he saw
in his revery , I could only
guess.

The glorious rain that came
Sunday night was a special dis
pensation of Providence that
saved the county from the most
disastrous crop failure in its
history. The oats a n d hay
were too far gone to be bene
fited much , but the corn and
alfalfa took on a new lease of
life. The farmers and mer
chants on Sunday night did
what James Whitcomb Hi ley
said God did after he made the
state of Indiana , "just laid
around feelin' good. " There is
no use getting scared about old
Richardson. Things may look
a little gloomy .it times and we
may search the sky anxiously
for rain , but it always comes in
time to save us and keep up our
reputation as the best and safest
county in the state. The rain
of Sunday night was general
and extended over Nebraska ,
Iowa Missouri and Oklahoma.

The admission of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as a state
and the conditional admission
of Arizona and New Mexico
marks an epoch in our national
life. It leaves but little terri
tory outside the Union , and is
probably the last legislation of
this character that will be had
for many years. The state of
Oklahoma will be one of our
best states in time. It com
prises some of our richest farm
lands and is well adapted to the
creation ol large cities. Some
city in this territory , and it now
looks like Oklahoma City is
destined to be a great jobbing
center. When the great south
west country is developed as it
will some day be , a great job
bing competitor of Kansas City
and St. Joseph for the southern
trade will spring up and thus
create a great city. The tre
mendous opposition to the ad
mission ol this stale and the
powerful lobby which has made
Washington its headquarters
for so many months failed in its
design to defeat statehood.

The citizens of Omaha are
preparing lo give W. J. Bryan
a reception upon his return lethe
the state from his trip abroad.
The reception will be entirely
non-partisan in its character
and many visitors are expected
from out the slale. This public
expression of Hie people of Hie
slale lo Us distinguished citizen
is highly commendable and
speaks of the expiration of that
narrowness that makes enemies
of men who differ politically.
The writer of this is a republi
can who never voted for Mr.
Hryan in his life and never will
so long as he advocates the
principles of his party. But
this difference in political opin
ion does not blind me to Bryan's
remarkable characteristics. If
it were not for the crowd being
so great 1 would like to help in
the reception , to be one of Ihe
many who will welcome him
home. The people are growing
more tolerant , though thnie is
still room for improvement. I
will never forget the time Sena *
lor Ilanna came lo Falls Cily.
Ilanna was a greal man ; a great
hearted , kindly citizen , who
came to us to tell of his belief
politically. There were those
of our citizens who were litlle
enough lo insult him with dollar
lar marks and similar cheap de
vices. Such conduct hurt Falls
City and lowered Ihe men who
were guilly in Ihe estimation of
every right thinking man. I do
not believe thai such Ihing will
ever be repealed here. I do
nol believe that any broad man
in the stale can help bul be
pleased lhal Mr. Bryan is com
ing safely home after a pleas
ant , and doubtless a prolitable
trip abroad.

Railroad Domination in Ne
braska.
Senator George L. Sheldon ,
prominent in the public mind as
a candidate for governor at his
home here today , being asked
for a statement of his view as to
the political situation in this
state , said :
"As it seems to me , the most
important work for the people of
Nebraska now is to assume and
to take active control of the
state government and the public
affairs. "
When asked what he meant by
that he said :
"I mean that the thing most
needed in Nebraska is a complete
establishment of a true represen
tative government. One that
will carry out the will of the
public untrammelcd by railroad
domination. We have the form
of representative government in
this state , but we need more of
the spirit and the power of it and
the force ol it coming directly
from the people. We need in the
conduct of our public affairs
more of the influence of the dis
interested citixcns and less of the
inlluence of the self-seeking rail
road politician.
"The government is , to a large
degree what the official does in
his official capacity. If the offi
cial acts for the whole public ,
then it is truly representative
government , because his acts re
present the public will. But if
the official's act is directed by
the railroad influence , then it is
government by railroads.
TOO MUCH KAIT.UOAD KUI.K-
"We have had too much of
this railroad government in Ne
braska. There is an opportunity
now to put an end to it , lor a
time at least , and it ought to be
done. The railroads have a
right to expect , and should have ,
fair treatment. But they have
in the past , however , had a great
deal more than fair treatment.
They have actually dictated the
state government in many im
portant matters. In the matter
of taxation the } ' have attempted
to lessen their taxes by lending
their efforts towards increasing
the value of all other property
within the state. Some of them
have refused to pay the taxes
that have been regularly assess
ed and levied on their property ,
and have appealed to the courts.
Because the attorney general un
derstood that it was his duty as
a public official to represent the
whole public , and to enforce tax
ation on all property alike , and
has stood unequivocally for the
enforcement of the law , he has
incurred the enmity of the rail
road politicians , and they arc at
tempting to retire him to private
life , just as they have in the past
been retiring all public men who
have preferred to serve the public
rather than to serve the rail
roads.
"The stand taken by the at
torney general gives us an ob
ject lesson of self-government
that is good. He certainly should
receive the commendation of all
good citizens who believe in
equality before the law' for the
stand he has taken. Other offi
cials at the state house have re
sisted railroad dictation , a n d
there has been a splendid begin
ning there and at the national
capitol. Now it seems to me that
the people ought to back up this
beginning by getting themselves
into the primaries and caucuses
and sending their influence im-
trammcled by railroad dictation
to a state convention of inde
pendent and untrauimcled men ,
who will be , in fact , representa
tives of the people.
DOMINATKU STATJJ 1'OI.ITICS.
"The railroads have dominated
state politics in Nebraska for a
long time. It has mattered not
to them what party was in office ,
they have been constantly at the
helm. Through the free use of
passes and a strong organization
they have been able to exert a
powerful inlluence over legisla
tion , and over the acts of public
officials. For that reason they
have had law on the statute
books to curb their greed in ex
tortionate freight charges , The
transportation companies arc en
titled to receive a reasonable and
just compensation for their ser
vices , but it is generally conced
ed that their charges are and
have been , not reasonable , but
unreasonable and extortionate in
many cases , and that they are
wringing from the Nebraska pro
ducers millions of dollars annual
ly that in justice they are not en
titled to.
"It will be up to the next leg
islature to settle this question
and to establish more equitable
rates. It is up to the people now
to determine what the next legis
lature will do. If the people ex
pect that legislature , in the hand
ling of this rate problem , to con
sider their interests and to repre
sent the whole public , they must
get into the caucuses , the pri
maries and the county conven
tions , and exert their influence
and the force of their will in the
nominating1 of these legislative
members.
"The last legislature made
some progress towards rate con
trol. The iCady amendment in
my judgment should be adopted
at the election this fall. It is a
beginning. It is the commencc-
of control by the public. Now ,
as I said before , the important
thing for the people is to get in
to the primaries and county con
ventions with their influence , so
that that inlluence will be the
moving power that will control
the next legislature.
"If we are to have just legisla
tion , the people must put the
force of their influence into the
state convention that nominates
the commission. This can be
done if the people get into the
caucuses and primaries , and we
will have rale regulation and re
duction that will save millions
annually in freight charges to
the whole public.
NOW 111U'OH15 THU l'1'.OI'LU.
"Now , the question is , 'What
are the Nebraska people going1
to do about it ? " It is tip to them
If they want a state government
that will represent their interests
they must get into the caucuses
where this government starts.
If tin * people neglect the primar
ies they will lose the battle. If
they lose out there , at the very
beginning , they will lose the
whole cause. The public is de
manding a square deal. There
is a deep sentiment among all
the people for this. It is the
shibboleth of the American people
ple throughout the whole coun
try. It is the people's govern
ment and they want it to have
regard for their rights.
"But in this struggle for a
square deal we must remember ,
as citizens , to build up , and not
tear down. We must put in
force everywhere the motto of
our state. MSqnality before the
law. ' You can trust the repre
sentative of the people to deal
fairly with the railroads and the
corporations , but you cannot
trust the representatives of the
the railroads and trusts to deal
fairly with the people. "
