The above extract

The plan which the "bureau" has
adopted of crediting their correspond

of the fact that they , in most insUn

to s y the least , decidedly cheeky.

One word ns to THE BEE'S opposi
tion to Eifchcock's advancsmsnt in )
its relation to the endorsement of the
"leading-rjewspapets" of the state :
THE BEE'Circulates more copies than
all tho'io-callei "leading journals" of
the state combined. It can well afford
{ o'be content with the constituency of
which it addresses. It needa no literary
bureau to puff that constituency. It Is
composed of the best , the most indus-
trioui , energetic and Intelligent people
ple of Xebraska and the west There
Is hardly a postoffico in Nebraska ,
Western Iowa or Wyoming which it
fails to reach , and its subscribers are
counted by the hundreds in states
eat t of the Mieslssippi. Years before
other journals had the courage to
deal with the transportation question
THE BEE boldthew dcwn the "gageof
bittle. " If circulation , enterprise ,
consistency in Advocating advanced
principles afterwards taken up by the
mcEt influential journals of tbe land ,
are to be considered ss making up a
leading journal , THE BEE cannot be
classed as otherwise. If venality , ,
connection with corrupt rings and
lists which are principally filled out
with advertisers ano > xchanges consti
tute journalistic leadership , THE BEE
uo claim to the title.
THE present legislature should pass
eome law regulsting primary elec
tions. The subject is now being
agitated by tbe people of Colorado ,
and Nebraska hns suffered far greater
wrongs from corruption in the prim
aries than any other western state.
It has been through their corrupt
manipulations by railroad attornejs
and corporation strikers that partite
have been forced to absent to the el
ection of corrupt monopoly tools and
to sanction renegades and
political harlots. Other states , not
ably Ohio , have found legislative rr-
stricticns on primary elections not
only practicable but wholesome. As
at presBnt conducted primary elections
are an instrument of oppression.
They oervo the sarno purpose for
scheming politicians cs a packed cau
cus. Instead of voicing thty defeat
the wl-1 of the people.
One of the very worst in
famies of the present system
of primaries , io the employment which
they give to a class of professional
buromera who moke their living by
traflicing in votes. The passage cf a
p-imary law would take away from
t -oso monopoly cappers their principal
livelihood It would ensure to tbe
people the expression of their will iu
the nomination of candidates to r p-
reicnt them in iho legislature aud in
congress. It would prevent the grot a
frauds which have besn eo often
perpetrated on Nebraskians by mo
nopoly hirelings and cappers , ring-
stors and unprincipled jobbers.
Tun Holly company has brcuglit

fortunately for the company.
THE people of Omaha need have nee
o ir that the construction and main-
tainanco of tbo city waterworks under
a system of direct pressure will bs

THE EEAGAN BILL , |
Emphatic Endorsement of the
New York Chamber
of Commerce.
A Comparison of the Reagan
and Henderson Bills.
Aminttn Exclianjr , January 7th.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce , -.which was
held yesterday , the special railroad
committee submitted a lone report ro-
iarding ; the question of railroad trans- ,
portalion and regulation of railroad
abuse ? ; in which it is stated that pub
lic cpin on is rapidly advancing to an
intelligent comprehension of the rail
road transportation question , and the
press has supported , with great
unanimity , the principles advocated
by the chamber "That Eonie solu
tion of thia question will bo reaclitd
ere long , your committee entertqin no
duubt It has now , in iha public
mind , rxteuded far beyond'questions
jf tariffs , with local and personal dis-
crlminalionp , and embraces the ques
tion whether the railroads shall con
trol the l gislatiou of the nation ,
* nd dictate what share of the profits
of production and commerce the
public shall rcaeivo. For the pur
pose of aec r aining the opinion upon
this subject of thoughtful aud intelli
gent mun in different parts of the
country , t'io committee addrefsed a
series ( ] cf questions to men eminent in
the varioua walks of life. The four
teen queries cover very fully the
transportation ; question. They cll
fore opinion j > s ta whether or not ra1-
roads are to bo considered as public
highways ; and ccnitiuu carriers ; how
discriminattcrs are to bo prevented ;
whether iho matter of uevelopirg fj.
vorcd districts by discriminating in
freights should b < J tolerated ; regard
ing the practice of charging m re for
a shoit than a longer dieUiuco ;
whether or not the railroads should bo
under the supervi-ion of the govern
ment ; whether or not , under present
circuiLStauccs , a legal hurt should be
phced to railroad charges ; reg < irdirg
watering of stock , etc. , aud also
whether the government should fol-
low a Itbnral policy in improving the
water routes.
Too cuu.iuiittco has received about
100 replies , in which there is an almost
unanimous expression in favor cf
remedying railroad abuses by proper
legislation. : These replies include
those of the Hon. J. S. Black and
the . Massachusetts Railroad Commis
sioners. It is tbo intention to com
pile , and publish sll the replies as soon
as they are received.
Tfle principal object of the report is
tocail attention to tje bills no < r be
fore concross , viz , , tbe Reagan bill
and the Henderson bill , supposed to
be preparfd to Mr. Charles Francis
Adams. The report continues "Tho
Riagsn bill , since its first introduc
tion , has been materially amended ;
its provisions , as descrioed by Mr.
Reagan , are now as follows :
"Its first section defines inter plate
commerce by railroads to bs 'from one
state or territory to or through ono or
more other states or territories of tbo
United Statec , or to or from aisy for
eign country. ' And then the biU pn -
vides : First Against all disriminaP
nous iu freight rates aud charges be
tween individuals , nquiriug like ssrv
vices to be rendered t < i all persona for
1 k condensation. Second It pro
hibits the allowance of rebates and
drawbicka in all cas s , as one of the
means of preventing uojuat discrimin
ations. Thild It prohibits tha pool
ing of freights by different and com
peting raiUcads , co as to secure to the
g-neral public tbo benefits of compe
tition in freight rates and charges ,
aud as a means of limiting "and ro-
atraining the monopoly powcra of
the railroads. Fours ! It pro
vides a limitation on the power
viti f the railroads to discriminate be
tween different places or portions of
the country by providing that no raors
shall be charged fur a car load of
freight for a b'.iorler than fora longer
distance , by the doing of which they
have greatly injured the commerce
and prospsrily if some rjHces for the
banetit of others , and often fester and
promote schemes ft private specula
tion by railroad managers and their
favorites , to the injury of particular
communities and persons Fifth It
requires tlut the railroads coining
within its provisions slmll adopt and
keep posted up schedules of freight
rates nnd charges , and that these diall
not ba changed without five days'
notice ; and that they shall charge
no more r.r less than the
published rates. This is a necessary
means of protecting Ilia public against
unjust discriminations. Sixth It
makes the doings of anything pro
hibited by it unlawful , and the failure
Jo do anything required to be done by
it is also made unlawful. Seventh I
It gives three separate remedies ; I
pgainst thso violalinjr it.s provisions.
First , a ciyll euit by the injured prty ,
who , upon recovery , is entitled to
triple damages , and iu any case of re
covery the judgment is to bo for at
least $500. This is fn provided to
discourage the large and p.-Wbiful cor
porations ir. their fibres to defeat
justice by wcarinu ' ut poor litigants
in court. Second , it provides for a
gtti tain action against offenders
against Its provision ? , and in c so of
recovery the judgment is to be for not
less than $1000 ; ono - half of this
penalty , when collected , to go to the
ii f > rmur. But the.-e provisions , rig
orous as they appear , would not pro
tect the public and its interests if these
companies could keep their books and
the mouths of thtir officers and agents
closed. To overcome this difliculty it
is provided in the bill tint the courts
trying cases arisingunder it shall have
both legal ai'd equitable powers ; that
they may compel parties in interest to
testify , with the provision that such
testimony shall not bo used against
'
them in'crimiml prosecutions ; and
that tiny shall h iva all the powcra
HOT provided by law to compel dis
covery and the production of books
and papers. Tnnd , iu addition to
these remedies thia bill alto provides
for criminal prosecutions agvnst those
offending ite provisions ; and in cases
of conviction the penalty is to be not
less than § 1,000.
"It will thus be scon that the bill
provides plain , specific remedies for
the evih under-which the people and
the comnurca if the country suffer at
the hands of these corporations , and
that it provides clear Rnd efficient
mcaus for the enf jrcomcnt of its pro (
visions in the courts of the country.
* It does not require thea to fix
huh or IOT rates for freights and
charges , but only prevents unjust
discriminations and charges , and com
pels them to be impartial and honest.
prohibits them from doinz wrong ,
and does not embarrass them in doing
n.ht "
"The Adams bill , or , as it is known
congress , 'the Henderson bill , '
provided for a national board of rail
road commissioners , to have general
supervision over inter-state railroads ,
see that all United States laws re
lating thereto are enforced. It pre
scribes like charges under like cir
cumstances and conditions , but recog
nizes and tolerates the existence of
pools and rebates , drawbacks , etc. It
nterposea the commission between out
citizen and carrier , and in the ab
sence of positive laws defining right the
wrong , this would be a serious de-
, and in case of the commission-
being influenced , jt would result on
g a shield for injustice perpetrated by
the carrier.
"These are the principle features of
the two bills.
"It will be perceived that there are
great and radical differences in the
principles underlying them. The
Reagan bill prohibits pools and com
binations , while the Adams bill recog
nizes them. The one evidently be
lieves in leaving the roads free to fix
their rates ; but [ relies upon competi
tion to make them reasonable ; the
other leaves them equally free to fi $
rates , but permits of competition be
ing abrogated. Your committee is of
the opinion that this ia inconsistent
with tha public welfare ; it virtually
puto production and commerce at the
mercy of a privileged class who can
tax at will , * * * As a measure
In the Interest of the railway com
panies , and incidentally to do away
with unjust discriminations , tha Ad
ams bill may be a success , but as a
treasure tosecuru the public reasonable
as well as uniform rates fortranaporta-
tion , in the opinion of your commit
tee , it must prove a failure. The rail
way is entitled to just compensation
for the service renderedj but the In
terest of the railwayo , as compared
with that of the rest of the communi
ty , is , perhaps , less than as five in one
hundred. We cannot see the justice
of allowing the five to control and dic
tate to the ninety-nve. If we look at
the subject in proportion to the num-
fe r of persons interested , * ho dispro
portion ia still greater. As regards
the question of rebates which are rec-
ogn'.z d by the Adams bill , but which
are prohibited by the Rcagau bill ,
while they may sometimes be found
convenient to railway companies , we
believe they are inconsistent with the
public interesr. Towhat an extent
the system of rebates may bo carried
when everything is left to the discretion
tion uf railroad managers , is illustrat
ed by the payment to the Standard
Oil Company , by the four trunk line ? }
of § 10,151.000 within the period of
eighteen months.
Iu conclusion , the committee rec
ommended resolutions , which were
adoptedthat the public vreifHre urgent
ly demands that commerce by railroad
abou'd be controlled and regula'ed ;
that such regulation should take the
form of (1) ( ) positive laws defining pub-
11e rightp , aud (2) ( ) a supervision by an
executive : power to Bee that these lawa
are carried into effect ; that with inter
state commerce these laws and Buper-
visioa rhould bo provided by con
gress , and for thrso railroads exclu '
sively within the jurisd'ction ' of !
a etate , similar action should be taken
by the legislature of that s'ate , also
preferring the R--agau bill , among the |
pending measures in compress , and
,
recommending that an additional and
separate bill , not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Reegan billy bo '
passed , providing a nations ! board of
, ,
railroad commissioners to see that all
laws of the United Statea relating to
railroads ore duly executed , and gen
erally to supervise the operation of
inter-state railroads.

U. S. l.and Office Closed.
Blue Sitings Reporter.
Wo learn tint the United States
land office a * Beatrice is closed aud
that no more business can ba done
until another receiver Is appointed.
The question is why has not a receiver
been appointed before this ? R. B
Harrington he tendered
says his ra-
signation some thrco months prior to
January Int , 1881. Can It be that
Senator Paddock has held Harring
ton's resignation In his pocket all this
time and will continue to hold it until
ho Gndj out whether ho ( faddock )
will bo re-elected a ? aeuator , end
keep thj land office closed , until
that time aud then
, if ha
Paddock ) is not re-elected hand Mr.
Harrington's resignation back to him
and let him continue to hold the re
ceivership ? Harrington cannot by
law hold the office of receiver and
state senator at the same time , and
that is virtually what he ia doing to
day. It cannot be possible that Pres
ident Hayes , the commissioner of the
general land office , and the proper
official at the head of our government
have knowledge of the facts in this
case. If they have , and will tolerate
such acta , it is time the people would
take th < reins of the government into 03
their own hands. Just think of the
injustice that is liable to grow ont of
the acts of these men closing the land
office. We know of one party that
had filed on a tract of land on the
Otoe reservation'and his filing runs
this week. He went up-to Bent-
rica to mftke payment on his land , but
office was closed and he could not
secure his land , and as soon as the
office is again epened any one can file be
said party's land , nnd if they do
not beat him out of it they will com-
, , el him to opan a contest and proba
bly coat him § 100 to got hia land.
There may bo many other parties
plfcett in the same situation , bat as
long as the land office is closed and
the oncers are absent on special duty
to preserve the government and save
the nation by re-electing Paddock to
the senate , probably a few poor men
ought not to find any fault.

works for limited pay is fully as honest
as a rule as the man who receives a
fortune yearly.
