Wherever the people are awake to
the subject of controlling business
monopolies by the government, Ne
braska's senior senator is receiving
praise for the stand he has taken, aud
our Senator's fame extends wherever
daily papers are read, and wherever
the ideas of public welfare and
official honesty are pondered. In
deed, he teems to be about the only
one of the representatives of the
people, at Washington who has the
serve and the mental ability to un
dertake the job of defending the in
terests of the public against organized
bands of thieves. The good that he is
doing-, may be measured in several
ways: First, by the things actually
accomplished ; second, by the manner
in which it strikes honest men ; and
third, by the outcry of the thieves
and their friends. A western ac-r
quaintance sends us a quotation from
the East Oregonian, with the heading
which we have placed at the top of
this paragraph, and which shows that
in Oregon, as well as elsewhere, the
people are praising Van Wyck while
the machino politicians are cursing
him:
"We reprint today what report the
telegraph furnishes the associated
press of the speech of Senator Van
Wvrfe- nn thft "hack-bone" land-erant.
and ex-Secretary Teller's miserably
lame, evasive and cbiidiBb reply.
Teller makes a feeble attempt to
dodge the center shots of the sturdy
champion of the people by hinting
that Van Wycfc is a demagogue, uut
tiAM in not a fiincrle element of dera-
agoguery about the Nebraska Sen
ator's calm, truthful and fearless
utterances. He has seen the people
plundered and despoiled by the
craven bri De-users wco nave dis
graced seats in the National Capitol
most of them of his own party, "too
and as an honest, outspoken man
true to his troBt, faithful to his oath;
h tio tnnoht thfi raiders and robbers
at every step. As brave old Thomas
H. Benton once raised nis uou-iikc
voice "single and alone' on the fa
mous "expunging resolution," so Van
Wyck almost single and alone among
those on the Republican bide of the
Senate chamber, has resisted, faith
fully though ineffectually, every at
tempt and every scheme 10 piunoer
the people of the public domain.
Tricky Teller is amazed that the Sen
ator from Nebraska can be so "un
courteous" and "nn-Senatorial" as to
ask for information as to the how and
why of a great land steal. Very
"uncourteous" and -very "on-Senatorial"
no doubt, Mr. Tricky Teller,
according to the modern notions, but
Van Wyck don't care for that. There's
our friend Dolpb, now, Tricky Teller,
the Senator from Oregon you can
just bet your bottom dollar that he
wouldn't be bo uncourteous or un
senatorial as to look while you were
making a grab, or make any em
barrassing inquiries afterward."
The editor of the Omaha Republi
can is supporting a democrat for
Mayor of Omaha. Freddie is a brilliantly-consistent
republican, and erst
while was fearfully wroth if republi
can were disposed to exercise their
manhood rights even within party
limits. Wo heard some time ago that
there is a scherao on foot by demo
crats and machine republicans to
combine for tho election of James
Boyd as United Slates senator to suc
ceed Van Wyck. Is it possible that
the Republican is beginning thns early
to boom Boyd? We all know that
Freddie has had no good word for
Van Wyck ever since ho defeated one
Albinns Nance of Polk connty for the
U. S. senate. If Freddie will, in bis
own case, follow his own former
course, he will read himself and his
paper out of the republican party,

In accordance with Queen Vic
toria's message the war office on tho
26th nit., called ont the army reserves
and militia. The statement is made
that the militia called out number
140,000 and the reserves about 30,000.
Great excitement prevailed in regard
to the call for militia, and orders
were sent to Chatham to supply im
mediately five million cartridges, and
also to armories throughout the
kingdom to retorn immediately to
the Tower of London all Martini
Henry rifles which they have in stock.
Fourteen thousand rifles are now at
Portsmouth to be forwarded to India
immediately. Notwithstanding these
large preparations for war, prominent
financiers express the opinion in Lon
don that actual hostilities will be
averted.
C. D. Casper of tho David City
Press, who served with representa
tive Keboe of this county in the leg
islature, brings his name forward for
U. S. Marshal of Nebraska, and says :
"There are none better qualified of
all the list of able men who will be
recommended for that high and re
sponsible position. After a two
months intimate association with him
In the House last winter, a place that
will test men's integrity, we have
ample evidence for the faith in him
that we possess. John is a whole
eonled, thoroughly substantial man,
and no money can buy him, and no
influence can swerve him from the
path of duty. He would reflect honor
upon the party, and make a model
officer. Let him have a rousing old
boom."
The President made the following
nominations as envoys extraordinary
and ministers plenipotentiary of the
United States : Edward J. Phelps, of
Vermont, to Great Britain; Robert

George II. Pendleton, of Ohio; to
Germany; Heury R. Jackson, of
Georgia, to Mexico; M. E. Benton, of
Missouri, attorney of the United
8tates for the western district of
Missouri. These appointments are
said to be composed of capable men
and were immediately confirmed by
the senate.

The War Claaa.
There are rnmors of war in the air,
and an ominous black cloud rises in
the. east that looks to threaten a storm.
England has called ont. quite a force
of troops, bnt it is generally thought
that the activity is for the purpose of
really not making war. The fact is
patent that neither Russia nor Eng
land is ready for a struggle that
might seriously cripple both powers,
without doing any commensurate
good.
War is to be deprecated at any time,
more especially now when there is so
much better work for intelligent men
to do than engaging in the barbarous
pastime of killing each other to sat
isfy the ambition of selfish rulers.
The progress of the Fremont Nor
mal and Business college has been
steady from the opening last fall. The.
number in attendance the present
term has risen to a hundred and
thirty-four. A fine addition has just
been made to the philosophical ap
paratus, so that the institution is now
well prepared to teach anything in
the Normal course. The attendance
on the business department has ex
ceeded seventy, some of the students
taking a business course only, and
others dividing their time between
that and a Normal course. A large
accession to the Normal department
is expected next term, beginning
April 14th. Special advantages will
be afforded for persons preparing to
pass examination for first, second and
third grade certificates, and state cer
tificates, for fall and winter schools.
Miss Rose Conrad a graduate of
Cornell Conservatory of Music, a
thorough teacher and brilliant per
former on the piano, will have charge
of the music department. The rail
roads have agreed to grant students
half-fare tickets at the opening and
close of each term.
It is stated upon the authority of
Mrs. Ireland of Mott Haven that her
husband Robert Ireland bad been
kidnapped by English officers over in
Canada and would shortly be return
ed to England for trial. He was a
piper in the English army until 1876,
when he deserted from his garrison at
Ayr, Scotland. He took out natural
ization papers at New York soon
after landing In this country, aud was
recently induced by an English de
tective to go into Canada under the
promise of giving him large wages as
a piper in a concert company and then
arrested him as a deserter. If he is
an American citizen he should be
looked after by the government
officials.
Hog-choleba has broken out in
Onondaga and Oswego counties New
Tork, and it is estimated that nearly
500 hogs have died within a few miles
of Syracuse during three days of last
week. It is believed the disease was
introduced by western hogs which
are slaughtered at Syracuse exten
sively. A report also comes from
Hillsboro, III., that the hog-cholera is
raging in Montgomery county. A
large number of farmers have lost
nearly all their hogs.
A citizen of Georgia, who is well
versed in regard to cattle, says that
after the sap rises in the spring cattle
driven from north to south a distance
of thirty miles or more are sure to
die, and those driven from south to
north will not die, but the cattle they
come in contact .with will die. Driv
ing them east and west has no effect
upon them.

Citizen.
A Columbus gentleman who heard
Moody at Omaha sent us the follow
ing, but received .too late for last
week's issue :
Dear Journal : I am to report to
you a modern Pentecost, and Omaha
is the Jerusalem to which the tribes
have come up. Most of your readers
are aware doubtless that a Christian
convention is in session here under
the direction of that plain man,
Moody, whom the Lord has so de
lighted to honor. But unless eye has
peen and 'ear heard, it has not entered
into the heart of any one of them to
comprehend the greatness nor, the
goodness of the event.
The convention opened Tuesday
a. m. the 17th last. In the largest
church in Omaha. Before the first
eastern was ever it was amaaifsat that 1
the place was too straitened. A
move . was made to Boyd's Opera
House with a capacity for seating
from 2500 to 3000 persons, and ever
since at each session with one excep
tion this has been filled and many
have gone away for want of room.
Representatives from all directions
are here and from towns a hundred
miles away. Among these are old
and young, farmers, mechanics, busi
ness men and professional men, cler
gymen and laymen. But I cannot
enter into particulars, only speak of
matters in a general way. As I have
listened and felt the mighty uplift of
the occasion and the truth spoken, I
have been pressed to say what a. pity
that all in this region roundabout are
not here and could flod a place! One
consideration comes to comfort.
There will be echoes from this meet
ing heard in all places represented
here. This meat cannot fail of sus
taining the prophets for forty days.
In view of the "eager, anxious
crowds" here, the old question "What
means it?" so often asked before as
in other places both sides of the sea,
such multitudes have gathered to
bear the words of this bumble disci
ple of the Nazarine. In my opinion
the question can never be answered
except we take into the account the
power of God and the love of His
truth. It, after all, is the food for
hungry mortals and that only which
can bring any enduring peace. Some
things may be accounted for from
other considerations. Sankey was
not present, but if he can tell the
story of redeeming love more sweet
ly than Prof. Towner and his wife
who now attend Mr. Moody as he
journeys, he certainly may vie with
angels in singing the immortal praises.
The word Bpoken is frnitful also,
from thirty to fifty persons each
evening were ready to seek the Lord
if haply they might find in Him life
eternal.
I can but believe that this conven
tion is but a repetition of Pentecost,
and shall expect that the end of its
blessing is not yet. R.
Omaha, March 19, 1885.

Beautiful, deep, comprehensive and
most momentous in its construction,
simplicity, application and import is
the truth contained in the expression,
"The hand that rocks the cradle, rules
the world." Here love and wisdom
may combine to mould the moral
forces of the world and thereby pro
duce symmetrical beauty and har
mony of action on life's great field, or
else for simple want and neglect of
these, the opposite elements of sel
fishness and folly combine to spread
chaos and confusion throughout the
moral arena evinced by wars, strife
and every form of evil.
Archimedes, the great philosopher
who boasted that he could turn the
world upside down if ho only had a
place upon which to rest his lever,
dreamed of a power which, if he could
have attained, would have been
empty as the soap bubble in its re
sults. Mothers who harp on the lim
Rations of their sphere and dream of
turning the course of human events
by resting the lever of their God-given
powers on the pulpit, at the bar and
the polls, instead of tuning their harps
to the lullaby-song and pondering the
power of parental example, are leav
ing the substanco to chaso the shadow,
as facts will demonstrate, should they
succeed in their efforts. But ever
since mother Eve "saw the tree that
it was good for food, pleasant to the
eyes and a tree to be desired to make
one wise," her daughters have, from
time to time, endeavored to improve
on the Creator's plans for their use
fulness by adopting a course of action
in line with their imaginary prog
ression. Let history arise and tell us
who has moved with iron hand the
kingdoms of the world and determin
ed the destinjes of earth's mighty
men. She who has emblazoned her
name on the page of history by her
public career and functions or she
who in more humble retirement has
moulded according to her own incli
nation the immortal element commit
ted to her charge? Where has that
model of queens, Victoria, wielded
the most power? On the throne of
her kingdom, or in the empiro of her
home, where her motherly example,
stands out beyond her no less wise
and noble pattern as a sovereign, to
incite others to go and do likewise ?
Who gave Napoleon Bonaparte his
first lessons in tyranny but tho moth
er who taught her youthful son to
find gratification in killing the harm
less flies on the window ? Who made
Byron what he was, a hater of woman
kind and a curse to himself and the
world but the mother who neglected
her child and valued her pleasure
above her privilege ? Think you that
Jeanne Dare as she led her forces
forth to the bloody conflict bad a
tithe of the real power that she has
who sends men out with noble aim
equipped to fill the various stations of
life with benefit and honor ? Though
she may never rear a Washington, a
Garfield or an Augustine, her sons
and daughters may fulfill the duties
of their various positions, more or
less conspicuous, with honor to them
selves, though it may be at the peril
of friendship, comfort or life.
"Honor and shame from no condition rise.
Act well your part, there all the honor
lies."
To repeat, is it the woman who
dreams of turning the world upside
down by her display of theology, elo
quence or want of submission to the
decrees of a wise Providence who is
the revolutionary factor in the world's
advancement, or is it she who has en
gendered every noble impulse in the
bosoms of her children by her whole
some instmction, control and exam
ple ? Mothers, if you would wield an
influence lasting as time and eternity,
don't shift tbe lever of your power
from the cradle and all that It implies,
to the -platform of publicity. The
true woman's intent is above such
refermeat .

Railroad.
Keeping in mind that wc want to
find a permanent solution of the rail
road ;prob!etu,:and that so far we have
only two plans advanced that claim
to be sufficient, which are-ideniica! in
the main feature, to-wit: that the TJ.
S. government must own aud operate
the railroad, we will mention tbe ob
jections heard and try to answer them.
First. 1 1 would give so many chan
ces for the people to be robbed, gov
ernment employes being. not always
above reproach, they might steal us
poor.
Second. It Is a new departure In
a line that, if-followed, threatens all
business.
Third. By such course you close
tht avenues to legitimate enterprise.
Fourth. The R. R. made the coun
try, and with ail the onaplaint we are
far ahead of what we would be with
out them.
Fifth. It is unconstitutional.
In answering these objections, it
becomes evident that they are quite
similar to those mentioned in tbe
Jourkal of Jan. 28th. AUo that in
auswering one we touch all. Tet
these appear to be bona Jlde objec
tions and having weight with those
who urge them, we cannot afford to
let them pass. So will commence at
the last. "It is unconstitutional." By
reference to the constitution or to the
preamble, it will be seen that the gen
eral welfare is the paramount consid
eration, the real basis of all powers
conferred by the people upon con
gress. To show that tho proposed
measure is In no sense local, (uot for
the benefit of any exclusive class) and
is beneficial, .ia to show that it is con
stitutional. We need not argue that
railroads are not local or that it would
reach all classes, both being conceded.
Few will dispute that being able to
obtain the necessaries of life at about
cost would be beneficial. Then we
need only to state that whilst bread,
which is tbe largest item of such nec
essaries, costs in round numbers
$500,000,000,transportatlon costs $725,
000,000, accordiig to the latest reports
at hand, the difference probably in
creasing every day. Then, this is of
more importance to our whole people
than the price of bread, not only be
cause It is a prominent factor in tho
price of every other commodity.
Then, whilst of 'itself tbe largest
direct bill- of our whole people (ex
cept the liquor bill) its indirect effect
in raising the price to the consumer
and reducing the price to the pro
ducer, mikes it today a leading ques
tion in tho general welfare. When
we add that the R. R. interests right
or wrong (fighting it may be in self
defense) seek to make the machinery
of our government the servant of
those interests regardless of the gen
eral welfare it hardly remains to be
asked if it be constitutional.
. Fonrtb. "The R. R. made the
country," etc. We have no quarrel
with R. R's. and only ask that they be
managed by onr regularly authorized
agents in the interest of the general
welfare. A late writer in the North
American Review well says: "The
history of republics has been full of
illustrations of the danger of giving
financial interests too large a control
in public affairs, and rightly or wrong
ly there is a large amount of distrust
among people who not only have the
right to be heard but who will sooner
or later exercise it." Then let us set
tie the question on a basis that will
make R. R's. the friend of all classes
and all classes friends of R. R's.
Third. "By such course you close
the avenues to legitimate enterprise."
We answer that this is only a larger
legitimate enterprise that we seek to
establish in place of that which ia fast
leaving the ways of legitimate en
terprise. Second. "It is a new departure."
We answer not so. It is but follow
ing the regular course of American
enterprise in every department. Wit
ness first a joint stock government.
Then joint stock companies for every
large enterprise. We propose to have
a company that shall have capital
enough (without water) to own all
tbe R. R's. and have its stock holders
include our whole people. Where is
the man who would' object to holding
a share? This is tbe whole scheme,
and is in the regular line of such en
terprises. We have all seen the ferry
give place to the toll bridge, and that
give way to the free bridge. Why
not follow tho same general line in
R.R's.?
First. "It would give so many
chances for the peoplo to be robbed,"
etc. We answer. It is fair to pre
sume that railroad employes would
be just as honest if in the employ of
a large company as a small one,wbiIst
every passenger and every man ship
pine freight would be an interested
stock holder, and when there was
stealing as there must sometimes be
now and then (and on this investors
count) both tbe chances of detection
and the ability to stand the loss are in
favor of my plan.
Are there other objections?
