has drawn from the treasury 3275 in
fees , which , it is since claimed , be
longed rightfully to the state. The
difficulty , as in Laidke's case , arose
from a misconstruction of the statute.
Unlike Leidtko , Fanning has covered
both hia stlary and fees back into tha
treasury and instituted suit in the supreme

HE KAILHOAD3 AND THE PEO
PLE.
The issue that n.u't ere long absorb
.11 ctaer great questions upon which
lie country will divide , is the trans
portation question and the right of
the people to protect themselves
gamst extortion and oppression by
railway monopalies. THE BEE has
on denounced by the organs of the
jorpcrstions as a monomaniac on the
monopoly question , but , we are grati
fied to note that this monomania is
; pr ; ading all over the United States.
Tha extract from the proceedings of
he Northwestern Farmers' Board of
Trade which we print in another col
umn shows that this great issue has
awakened popular attention among
, ha producers of the northwest , and
aroused them to the necessity of pro
tecting their interests by legislation.
In the commercial metropolis cf
America the business men are joining
tha western farmers in the revolt
Against monopoly aggression. One f
the ablest articles on this subject has *
t been published in the December
number of Berliner's Monthly. This
Article was written by Mr. F. B.
Thurber , of the firm of H. K. and F.
B. Thurber , one of the heaviest whole
sale grocery houses of Now York City.
The following extract from the article ,
which we propose to publish In full in
a few days , bears especially .on the
baufcfulinfluenco of corporate monopo
lies upon our system of government
d the imminent danger that threat
ens this republic at no distant day if
this gigantic power is allowed to go
unchecked :
"It is an open secret , " says Mr.
Thurber , "that the railroads fumlsh'a
large share of the money required to
operate'the machinery of our elections
uid in all districts where political
parties are closely matched , their
money , ou the side of their intere ts ,
generally can-it * the day. They knon
no patty , and consult no interests bul
their own , and , as a matter of course ,
the venal and less worthy clement - in
our political life , under euch a system
as this , usually triumph ? , and men
who are too honest or too Independent
to how to corporate will are so
weighted in the race for political
preferment that they seldom come to
the front.
* * * * * * *
"Thn railroad is tbe invention oi
ihe l st half-century ; the tremendous
development of corporate life , at
tended by the abuses § of which the
public complain , has occurred within
this period , and largely within the
past twenty-five years. Continue for
another half-century the present pow
er of corporations to tax the public
and we will have a moneyed aristo
cracy in this country such as the
world has never seen , and with all
the attendant phenomena of venal
legislators and corruption in high
places , which has caused the downfall
of all the great republics of Jiistory.
"These are some of the questions
which are forcing themselves upon
the attention of thoughtful American
citizens ; individualized , they may be
stated :
"Can Americans , whose forefathers
abolished the law of primogeniture
and entail to avoid the evils of vast
aecurpulatinns cf wealth in the hsnrt
of individuals , afford to leave unrcgu
lated new agencies far more potent tt
that end than any which wore at that
time dreamed of )
_ "When corporate life ot trade com
binatione devlnp into or aniz tion' '
like t at of the Standard Oil eompany _
controlling a staple fourth in inagni
tudu amot'g cur nation's exports , at.d
hundredo of legitimate traders art
driven out of existence , is it not timi
* o inquire what steps sir uld be takei
to.protcot tha interest of the j roduc
4ng , commercial , and ' consuming
classes ?
. ; ' \Yhen , to perpetuate power al
ready acquired by these organizations
corruption is openly practiced in ou
elections , and the bribery of legislat
era goes unpunished , is it not timi
that American citizens should con&ide :
vhbfe such practices lead , and insia
nil at the state &houldresumo the sov
ereignty and control over its creature
which'It has inadvertently and torn
porarily relinquished ? "
Had Mr. Thurlrer lived in the stat
of Nebraska , and been a patient ant
careful observer of the operations o
the railways within our politics
sphere , he could not have poriwyei
more faithfully the corrupting influence
once of- corporate monopolies in on
legislature and in oar political con
ventions. The picture he draws' o
the venal politicians who force them
selves into high places , and the rotten
apples that swim upon the politlca
cesspool , applies with a good deal o
force io the Valentines , Cannes
Church Howes , Baldwins , Frank
Walters' , Hitchcocks and that clas
of political leaders on the republican
side , and the Mortons and Millers on
the democratic side.
THR land league's work ia bearing
good fruit In every county of Ireland
and the proposition to suspend the habeas

net. The reports of disorder in the

ated by the English press. The people
ple are naturally excited , but deter
mined to gain their cause by leg *
moans. The next parliament will be
largely tskon up with schemes for the
nolution oi the Irish land problem.
HEXEWKD rumors are current of the
death of the czar at the hands of the
Nihilists. The attack seems to have
been made at Lividla , his country
seat , whore , since his marriage with
tbe Countess Dalgourklhe has resided
in retirement. Court gossip does not
hesitate to intimate that the assassin
ation was instigated by the Russian
nobility out of revenge for his morgan
atic marriage.

THE FIBST rOW RUMBLE OF A COMING
BAILBOAD VTAB.
The- following slightly aggressive
communication was received and read ,
and though it was thought to be rath
er severe in its strictures against the
railroads , it eviden'ly met with favor ,
and was laid aside for future consider
ation :
lo the Farmers' T ril of Tride :
I would re j Otfally call your at
tention to the- : l.ject of railroads and
railroad legislation. I am impelled.
thereto by the fact that eastern
freights are to be raised on the 20th
of this month five cents per bushel
on grain from all points in Minnesota
to the seaboard. It is time some no
tice should be taken uf this matter by
the people. The principal grain-car-
ryiug roads , the Milwaukee and St.
Paul and the Ohicago and Northwest
ern , are to-day earning enormous div
idends on their stock , while money in
the east 5s plenty at 3 per ceut. per
annum. According to their published
statements , the Milwaukee and St.
t'aul are earninij eleven per cent , and
"
Jho-Ohlcngo and" Northwestern fifteen
"
"per cent , on both common and pre
ferred ttock As the common stock
cost not him.- , and as the bulk of the
stock in both companies in common
stock , you can readily see that they
are in reality earningfrom twenty-five
to forty per cent , on the original in
vestment. Wages are lower , and al
running expenses , as well as iron and
all material requisite to build and
equip railroads. They readily place
their bonds and borrow money at five
per cent , per annum , but make the
farmers and producers pay them
freight rates that enable them to pay
forty par cent , dividends. No
wonder theywa"jf fat and strong , nnc
openly boast that they will contro *
all legislatures who are opposed to
them by buying up the members
Northwestern stock is quoted at 140
or forty par cent above par. when
two years ago it was but seventy
while the common stock of St Paul
which -"waa eleven cents ai
that time , is now 105 , and
yet they raise freights five cents pe
bushel. These are hard and sac
facts. In God's namp , havn we no
rainedy from this serfdom ? Is the
poor man , hii v.ife and his little ones
out on the bleak profits , living tiu
silt meat and ditaiiog in the cheapes

we are all . mortgaytd to a few
rolroacb , then tliu bouUd.ciyU-'z *
lion of tbe nineteenth century' is n
failure , and there are no freemen in
this country. G utlemen of" th
farmers' board' ' if trade , you whc
aave been selecle fem amongat ou
beat and truest el.-iuonta , it remain
with you'to start ' Lu agitation upon
this subject , and with the coun
try press of this state
\Ve need not look to th
cities their interest * are with th
raHroecU.-and the cities know how t
protect themselves. The nprisin
.nustcome from the country and thei
representatives. In conclusion le
me say to these who may think thi
overdrawn , look right st home ant
tee what the cost of common stock o
tbp Northern Pacific , the St. Paul
Minneapolis & Manitoba , the Mincea
pilisSt. . Louis and the St. Paul
Sioux City roads has been to th
holders. I will surprise my far me
frienda , at least , by stating the pa
value of the common stock of thae
roads is nearly $100,000,000 , and i
cost tbe original holders not on
cent. To-day it ia worth in thi
markets of the world fromtwenty-fiv
to eighty cents on the dollar. Can any
thing ba added to such a showing.

Fargo , D. T. , Nov. 16 , 1880.
The above letter was commented on
by The Pioneer-Prees of the sam
dito from the railroad managers
Viudpoint. This article drew out th
folio wing caustic reply from a Minne
Bota.- farmer , who is evidently we ]
posted :
To tbe editor of The Pioneer-Press.
Pardon me for taking issue with yo
in your editorial comments in thl
morning's issue in Mr. Earbank.'s let
tar on the railroads to "The Fanners
Board of Trade.1' You say it is an
'extreme statement of the caaefrom
the farmer's standpoint. " I canno
really see that it is extreme. On thi
contrary , in some points he is nt a
extreme as the true facts warrant. To
illustrate , he * says two years ago
Northwestern preferred stock was 71
and it is now 140. Now , the true
facts of the case are , that three years
ago , November , 1877 , Milwan
kco and St. Paul common stock was
11 and preferred 40J ; Northwestern
common stock 15 , and the preferred
37 | , instead of 70. Present quota' '
tions : Northwestern , preferred 140 ,
common 115 ; St. Paul , preferred 119
common 105i. His statement tha
the stock of tbe roads he mentions al
their par almost or "nearly" equals
§ 100,000,000 is about correct , as Wit
ness the figures : Northern Pacific ,
551.000.000L St. Paul & Manitob'a
$15,000,000 ; and St. Paul & Omaha
uot less-than § 12,000,000 , and prob
ably more ; it cost $10,000 per nnle.So
these three roads alone aggregate 578-
000,000 , which cost the original
holders little or nothing , and in ad
dition these , too , all had lane
crania io a sufficient amount to pay
in full for the original
cost cf the roads. Take one of the
oldest land grant roads of this state * t >
illustrate this poiut : Tbe Winona&
St. Peter , now a part of the Chicago
& Northwestern system. This road
* as originally owned by eight parties ,
and it is a well known fact that tbe
land they sold more than paid the en
tire cost of the road ( which road was
pold to the Northwestern for about
§ 3,000,000) ) , and he syndicate of
eight still hed.unsold about 500,000
acres of land left , which was not in
cluded in the above purchase , which ,
&t the last average price of lands they
hadf sold which I have eoen published ,
wonldheworthoverS4,000,000. Theee
are large figures , but railroads are
largo corporations , and railroad pro
prietors deal in large figures. I do
riot think Mr. Burbank's estimate of
the Chicago and. Northwestern and
tEe Milwaukee andSt. . Paul railroads
wning nearly forty p wni , on tha
actual cost of the roada overdrawn or
extreme. There are many other
points and inside actson regard to
these roads which/Mr. Bnrbank does
not-touch uponv The same clique *
who own , control and manipulate the
roads and their stocks ( Milwaukee
and St. Paul and Chicsgo and North
western ) are the identical ones who
have in the past controlled the New
York Central , Chicago & Rock Island
and other roads , and notwithstanding
their doubling their stock again and
agalnpto maKentrappear they were
earning but small dividends , they are
still earning twelve per cent , on their
watered _ stock , which is fully equiva
lent To twenty-four par cent on the
actual cost of the roads , and thete
statements are but a prelude to many
inside facts that can be shown of the
same general tenor.

Chicago Journal.
The Mount Pleasant ( Iowa ) Journal
urges the appointment of ex Senator
Jamea Hnrlau , of that state , to a place
in General Garfield'a cabinet. Mr.
Harlan was a member of Lincoln's
cabinet , and one of his most trusted
irienda. _ _ _ _
Counted Out.
North FUtto Republican.
Thegama by which D. C. Ballentine ,
the regular republican nominee for
otat equator In this , the 26th dis'rict ,
and Mr. R. B. Dailey" , the repiiblican
nominee for representative in the * 9th
district , were counted out of their
offices by the Cheyenne connty
official * , aided and abetted by the
Uuion Pacific bosses , as ia believed , is
yet the subject of the moat
earnest denunciation. Last year the
Vote of Cheyenne county was only 471 ,
and the vote of Judge Cobb , .who
lieaded the republican tlcket.vjtaa only
189. This year Chevenne ? county.ta
ported to the canvne'sing board cf the
districk a vote of 853 for Snyder , the
'U. P. candidatejor senator , 7 forBal-
lantino , regulir republican , and 22 for
Crutcher , the democratic nominee
8b2 in all. .
There needs no specification or de
tail of fraudulent votes cast or of the
amount of the fraud in making the
county relurha in thin case. Ghey-
' enno county has received no gains by
immigration , and has suffered a-busi-
ness loss of people. ' To pretend that
in one year , with a loss of popular
tion , the vote has swelled from 471.to
882 , ia a fraud upon its face. It is
cons dered by all as an imposition
that should at once bo- repelled , hat
by our silenca we should be miijakeu-
es consenting to it. r
' Glaring as is tWs cr e , .the outrage
against Mr. Daley is. eveii greater.
Cheyenne county's vote fer represent
ative when Drat can vase fed and pub' *
lished traS ) for D. darrigan , 443 votes.
Couriers were eent into the south
counties to learn whkt Daley's vote
there was , and when' these returned
and repotted the canvas waa com
menced and Carrigan waa found
to have 520 votes in
Caeyenne county. Added together
Daley yet had a majority of 15. The
board adjourned for an hour and a
half ) an'd on reassembling Cheyenne
connty had a new set of returns so
fresh that the Ink was not quite dry ,
and Carrigan had 540 votoa , a majority
of 5 over Daley.
Comment is needless. jOuly it is
justice to every honest man's sell to
protest n gainst that which is upon iti
face BO flagrant an outrage against the
purity of the ballot box.
Mr. J. J. Schubert , Kankakee , HI. ,
writes : My mother haa been a sufferer
with Inflammatory rhoumatiam for the
last fifteen years , in which time she
has tried numerous remedies without
telief. At last her l < mbs became so
swollen that she could npt go about ,
and I gaVe up all hopes of her re *
covery. As A final resort , t tried J9t.
Jacobs dil. The application gave her
relief and the use of aix bottles haa
performed a euro. She can go about
as well as ever.
