A Big Change in Railroad
Matters at Hand.
The leading digaitaiies of the Wa

rivediin this city at 0 o'clockThursday
moniing , having comeup to the Trans
fer hotel at Lake station about 5
o'clock last evening , where they re
mained over night. They have been
expected at this end of the road for
several days , and as stated yesterday ,
the object of the visit is of the great
est importance to Omaha.
The party , which registered at th < )
Withnell House yesterday , where they
were found by our reporter at dinner ,
included : Solon Humphreys , presi
dent of the company , and Mrs. Hum
phreys ; A. L. Hopkins , first vire-
piesident ; Geo. L. Dunlap , director ;
John C. Gault , general manager ;
Thomas McKiasop , general su
perintendent ; J. W. Blanchard -
ard , division superintendent ,
James F. Howe , secretary , and Geo.
O'H-ira , private secretary of Mr.
Humphreys. They left Chicago on
Friday last by a special train over the
Ohicago division of the Wabash road ,
proceeding directly to Peoria , where
they remained two days looting aflcr
tbo transfer to the Wabash of the
Toledo , I'coria and Warsaw , under
the agreement of the recent lease.
They then proceeded to Kcokuk ,
Iowa , where they met representatives
of the Missouri , Iowa and Nebraska ,
another rccsnt accession to the Wabsh
system. A conference was had with the
managers of thatlino regarding the im
mediate extension of the road from its
present terminus to a connection with
the Omaha extension of the Wabash.
This connection will be made st a
point near Shcnandoah , Iowa : When
completed , which will bo in the
courae of a few months , this will give
the Wabash an air line from Chicago
to Omaha , which , it is said , will be
as short a route as nny now in exis
tence between this city slid Chicago.
This completion of the extension ol
the M. , L & N. will doubtless brinj
about an important change en thi
railroad checker board , as it will fonr
a fourth direct liuo between Ouiah :
and Chicago.

The notice in the Register was read
within an hour after the receipt of the

Valentine in Court as a Com
mon Swindler.
It ia an unpleasant duty on the part
of a journal to arraign any man pro
fessing the same political faith , and
particularly if that man bo a standard
bearer of the party , or haa received its
confidence and support. But it is a
duty , nevertheless , and THE BEE will
fearlessly perform that duty , oven at
the risk of receiving the censure of its
friends , or the denunciation of parti-
z.u ) leaders. We are actuated by a
broader and deeper motive than the
mere temporary aggrandizement of an
individual , or even a temporary vic
tory of the republican party. We de
sire to keep Intact the principles of
republicanism in all their pristine
purity , and keep untarnished the
splendid record made by a republican
govern ment these past twenty years.
It is this that moves ns to raises our

ho docs not possess a single qualifica

before our readers , and we have no
doubt tht public opinion will sustain
US ) no matter how Inuch criticism wo
may receive from blind partisans , or
selfish hypocrites , who have sought
the nomination of Valentino for their
own personal ends.
We will first state th.8fac.ts involved
iit tile Cafce ot fiiisli vs. Valentine , a
contest which had its inception with
Vat's early history as an officer of .the
district land office , at West Point.
In October , iSCd , Johfa Rusty Ho\i
deputy treasurer of this county , set
tled-upon a quarter section of land
Mcar Elkhorn station , for the purpose
of making it hi * ffiHtrp home. Ho
had stronsj reasons tor believing that
it belonged to the United States gov
ernment , and this belief was strength *
cned by the fact that Hugh L. Dodga
had pre-empted a quarter suction of
the Same section , some time previous
ly , to secure which he had to pay
. A BlllBEQF FIFTY DltLAlts , ; !
Tt appears that afler Rush settled
upon the land ho made duo inquiry oi
real-estate agents in Omaha andf else
where to determine the real state ol
hlsciaih * . But tha perilling im
pression was that it belonged to the
state of Nebraska , although not in a
school section. This belief was no !
surprising , as the sequel will , show.
On the evening or thoiTth of JToveni'
bet 18G9 , D. A. Valentine cimo dowr
from West Point , accompanied by his
brother E. K. Valentino. They pur
phased lumhbr at Fro'mont , to buililj

ed. Rush told Bruuor the couvera ;

and James Ferry , on the evenint ;

Valentine's conduct In no way only I
saying that the latter must bo
UNDER A MISTAKE
that ho must have meant some othi
tract. gBoforo leaving the distri
land office , Rush said that ho wishe
Btunor to remember his application
r. tile , and why it was refused. Ai
:7 Brunor is said to have promised.
:7ft Now , let us turn to E. K. Vale
fta tine , who had gene to Omaha , on t ]
ftt. seventeenth. Tha records show th
t.is D. A. Valentino's filing of the di
is putcd land dates on Novemb
isr seventeenth. How in the name
r , common cense could this have bei
done ? But here it is , and du
signed by E. K. Valentine , tegSstc
We can account for this siran ]
phenomenon , only by ono of ti
theories : First The inetrume
must have been made and signed I
fore the new claimant ever stoi
upon the land for it was at least e
5t o'clock in the evening before ti
train reached Elkhorn. Sicond
must have remained In blank form
the pocket of E. K. Valentine un
he reached Omaha , and then , I
Ji iving that the lumber which he hi
St { u : chased at Fremont was transfers
to the ground , ho wrote out 1
brother's "declaratory statement
Take either horn of the dilemu
wasn't it
RATHER "CROOKED. "
I appears that Rush , having tail
to elicit any information in the loc
land office , wrote to the commission
of of lands in Washington , who prompt
informed him that the disputed tra
was government land. The commi
sioncr also enclosed a letter -to t ]
cs register of the West Point land offic
csJ. which he requested Rash to for wan
In reply to thlsE. K. Valontinewro
to Rush , acknowledging that the lai
was really government land , but th
it had been erroneously recorded b
fore ho ( Valentine ) had como In
office. Is it not strange that M
Valentine , having discovered an err
in his records , was not able to corre
it ? Is it not lranger still , that ]
never told 7u * colleague about it ? Ai
is not mysterious that Valentini
brother was the first , and only on
to whom the secret was made kntwi
These are facts , taken from the cou
record , and Mr. E. _ K. Valentine
the republican nominee ffir congres
and Mr. E. K. Valentine surely is
AN HONORABLE MAX.
But let us sea further. In tbo lett
- \ which he wrote Rush , he prpmuj
that his brothers being a claimant to
the land , would not ntfect any title
that Rush ini ht have , and to show
his impartiality , he wonld date Rush's
filing , as of the nineteenth of Novem
ber , no matter what time thereafter
he , Ruah , wonld make application for
the samo. But Rush's Sling is dated
January 12 , 1870. And yet Mr. Val
entine is an honest man ? In 182 ,
the land courts having decided that
Rush's title was null , because of his
failure to file within thirty days from
date of settlement , a patent was is
sued to D. A. Valentine , and the next
stop was the payment of the govern
ment price , which was four hundred
dollars. But Mr. Valentino was
equal to the emergency. He went to
Mr. Millard , of this city , and borrowed
the money , giving a mortgage upon
Rush's land , therefor. It must be
borne in mind that Rush had not yet
given up the fight. He had
some grit and a great deal of
FAITH IN THE iAW.
Did Val. , inform Mr. MilUrd that
back of the patent which * ho trium
phantly exhibited , there was another
claimant ? If he didMr. . Millard
must have acted in strange contrast to
the business qualities which charac
terize him. For he lent the money to
Valentine , and took the mortgage"nt
a cent of whif'M ' ptincipai or interest ,
no are credibly Informed , haa ever
been paid. But this is not all. Val.
is not evidently a good tax-payer , al
though he is an honorable man. Ho
never paid a cent of tax upon this
land , the patent to which was issued
to him or bh brother eight years
ago. So to keep alive a forlorn hope ,
Mr. Millard haclreeently to "purchase
thetox-title amounting to some two-
hundred dollars. c
The foregoing is a brief outline of
one of the most infamous frauds that
wo have heard of in a long time. But
others equally startling will bo told ,
and then as wo said above let people
judpo of onr motive in opposing E.
K. Valentine.
A man's character mtlst bo examin
ed as much by his desires and designs ,
as in his accomplishments of them ,
and wo are fittistied that no man can
say Valentino ia a Gt person to repres
ent a camp of Gypsies , much leas a
constituency like that of Nebraska.

in Omaha at the Acade-
of Music.
The Academy was packed to its ut
most seating and standing capacity
Wednesday , the date of the general
anmiiug of the fiampsiiya in Nebraska.
Hon. James Neville { Jreaided , and
after the GarGeld and Arthur club had
tf ing the Marching Song and ; in re-
Hponae to an eilcoroj 'Shouting for"
Girfield and Arthur , " he introduced
the speaker of the evening , Hon. T.
M. Marquette , of Lincoln.
i'ho speaker began by sayiiig that
ngun , aj for the past twenty-four
years , we see arrayed against each
other as rivals for power , the republi-
8an and democratic parties. Since
their first contest great changed ha ? ?
taken place , and ho would devote his
time to the presentation of the issues
now at stake between the two parties
and then leave it to 1m hearers tt
choose bihveen the two , which the ]
would serve. Taking up thi
financial < issue , ihb speaker coin
pared the plans of the two parties fo
levying impost ? , claiming that thi
republican party favored levyinj
ditties only eli the luiuricfi of life
while the democrats , if they followei
their old customs aud traditionswouli ,
tax the flour barrel as well as th
. whisky barrel. He recalled the ac
tion of Gum r. l Grant in prosecuttn ]
the whisky ring , and recited the con
, dition of things in the tenth botweei
the revenue collectors aud the moon
shinoraj and asserted that not only th
levy of taxes , but the collection a
well , was safest in the hands of the re
publican pirty. The relattv
attitude ! ) of the two partio
iu securing freedom of the ballot an
fair elections was reviewed , and th
speaker declared that never had th
republican party tried to thwart th
known will of the majority. H
characterized the act of the dome
, I cratic party in crying out fraud at th
1 electoral commission , which 1ra3
democratic measure , as a violation c
their contract , which stamped thei
as almost nun compos mentis and i
need of a guardian. Ho considorc
at length the pros and cons of the d <
sire of the democracy to enforce th
constitutional amendments , whic
erct however -willing llancock may fc
ctd
; d to do , the democratic party cortainl
to have shown their determination not t
id recognize Mr. Marquette referred t
idn the wonderful strides made by th
n- country under the control of the n
tie publican party , and to the fact thr
at the democratic advances are general !
is. . in a backward direction. Hanc. ck
er so-called statemanship and his caret
of in Louisiana were reviewed to the sa
en isfactiorf of the audience and tt
iy credit of the speaker as a sound reai
