THM OMAHA BEE never sa'd one word in
favnrof Gen. VanWyck until after hs ire *
lected. Let this b recorded for the bene
fit of The Lincoln Journal. [ Republican.
We don't propose to waste time in
hunting up in our files expressions of
friendly feeling towards Senator-elect
Tan Wyck. How numerous and
p3inted they have been during tbo
pan year , readers of THE BEE knor.
To go back a little more than two
weeks , on January 10th THE BEE , in
sponso to the assaults of the subsid
ized [ press on General Van Wyck'i
term of residence in our state , pub
lished the following :
General Van be "a
Wyck may carpetbagger
pet-bagger from New York , " but t
Oioe county wouldn't object to a few
more such wealthy farmer emigrants
Joaating in her midst and working to
build np her agricultural prosperity.
This wo followed up on January
llth with another editorial ac fo"s :
The editor of The Lincoln D o-
crat , whose first choice i * Paddock and
next Hitchcock for United States
wnator , doubtless became these two
worthies are the'only ones who have
pledged and given senatorial patronage
to democrats , assails Gen. VanWyck
and denounces him as a carpetbagger.
With the exception of a few hundred
Indians who wore born and raised
on the soil , 99 per cent of all the
people of Nebraska are cirpet
baggers. If General Van Wyck , who
is American born , is a carpet bagger ,
to which category does the editor cf
he Democrat , who was born in Europe
belong ? Every man who comes to
Nebraska , whether born in America
or abroad is a carpet bagger , and un
like the bourbons of the south wo arc
anxious to see the number of carpet
baggers increase , especially men like
Van Wy ck , who bring $100,000 to the
sute to invest in farms and raise crops
for export
It is a matter of very little import
ance whether or not THE BEE was the
personal champion of General Van
"Wyck's candidacy. General Van
Wyck was never the sole candidate of
any particular person or journal , but
was taken np and elected as the rep
resentative of an element in the re
publican party and throughout the
state which wis opposed to railroad
monopoly jobbers and the "power ,
prestige and plunder" doctrine. As
the recognized leader and exponent
cf that element THB BEE fought a
bitter and unrelenting contest against
the Republican and its candidates , who
WBTO the recognised exponents and
leaders of the other element , which
represented the railroads and their
cpp rB and jobbers.
It IB decidedly cheeky in the JZepub-
titan , which passed no opportunity to
ctt slurs upon the constituencies
vhinh elected General Van Wyck and
und on General VanWyck himself , to
come out this late day as the friend
and ohampion the-BemrtBr-eTecf ,
whom it places on a level with its par-
tfralur pet , Ohcreh Howe.
! ering the produoS
and amassing their golden

never to return when protests against
nighway robbery was denounced as

ernment sneered at aa outbreak of
socialistic feeling. The xnerchnt

Last week the first meeting of the
National Anti-Monopoly leaguwas
'ipld in New York City. The plstform
was filled with the irealthicit , the
iblest , the most Influential merchant
princes of the Empire state. F. B.
Tnurbor , the wealthiest grocer of the
great metropolis , John F. Henry ,
one of the heaviest shippers of drugs
in the country , and Henry George ,
for years editor of a leading San
Francieco daily , wer among the
speakers. Ringing resolutions
monopoly extortion
were enthusiastically adopted ,
and the abiolute ownership by the
state of sll the great railroad and tele
graph corporations was broached amd
advocated.
Tha editor of THE BEE has
always been in favor of the control
or ownership of the telegraph liana by
Lhe government. In the year 1871 ,
ia introduced a resolution Into the
Nebraska legislature In ' ' ance
with this view. Experience as oved
; hat competition in telegraphy3 use
less , and that competing CR
are built and operated with
the sole view of black
mailing the Western Union into their
purchase. Gheapauduniformrateswith
speedy delivery and universal accom
modations can only be secured under
government suporvi&ion. Some time
ago Ben Butler introduced a bill into
conrjrees by which the whole telegraph
system of the country was placed no
der the rigid supervision of the gov
ernment. By its provisions maximum
ratea were toba fixed by congress , dis
crimination prevented and secrecy of
messages rrqnired and special rates ,
rebates and dead-heading were prohib-
[ ted , under penalty of the penitentia
ry. Such a bill would be found ex
ceedingly difficult to enforce and
should such enforcement be found im
practicable THE BRE is heartily In
favor of the resolutions of the nation
al anti-monopoly league , which call
for complotexownorship and control of
all telegraph lines by the state na a
part er portion of the postal Bysten- :
Tbere is some question KB to the ad
visability of government ownership of
the railroad system of the country ,
but there is none as to the right , datj
and practicability of government con
trol. The railroads are the creatures
of the government , who enjoy : her :
rights and franchises as publis carri
ers aa the gift of the state.
The ri Ltof _ .lhe government
to control-the railroads rests upon
lu sovereign power to'control w'thiu
constitutional limits' , all persons and
things within Its territory. If by the
exercise of congressional legislation
discrimination and extortion cannot
bo restricted , 'if the crfetion of lot J
coal , grain-and lumber monopolies ,
which prevent the free exercise of the
laws of trade cannot bo prevented , if
the evils of stock watering And town
lol gambling , the building up of enter
prises and the destruction of others at
the whim and caprice of railroad
magnates cannot otherwise be res
tricted , then THE BKE is in favor of
government proprietorship of the rail
roads.
DAKOTA has -a very thrifty legiili
ture. Two weeks ago more than two-
thirds of the lower house were favora
ble to Mr. Baynea' bill , sujeoting rail
road property to local taxation. When
this bill was introduced , the hocso
refused to refer it to the railroad com
mittee for fear that it would be pigeon
holed. The railroad monopolies at
once brought the influence of a power
ful lobby to bear upon that legisla
ture. Last Friday , the house went
'nto ' committee of the whole for con *
sideration of the Bayne * local taxation
bill. To the surprise of everybody ,
Bivnes took the floor and made a
most cmphjtic plea in favor of the indefinite -
definite postponement of his own bill.
The flop of Baynes fell into the ranks
of the anti-monopoly men like a
bombshell. The chairman of the
railroad committee , who is a
second edition of Church Howe ,
Followed for about an honr
in a carefully prepared argument
against a system of local taxation.
3ne after another of the grange re
presentatives foil into the ranks of the
monopolists. Tnose who were most
prominent to champion the measure
HOT became cloudcst ia condemnation
of it. On. the final vote for the in-
difineto postponement of the bill
there wore but five votes against it.
The people of Dakota who have been
shamefully betrayed and manifestly
iold out , ought to adorn tboso
scoundrels when they return to their
nomcs with a coat of tar or feathers
or batter ctill adorn some of the
Dakota cottonwoods with their worth
less carcasses.

Toe Nation and the Railroads.
X T York Times.
The question of regulating by law
the operations of the railroads of the
country for the security of great -ub-
lie interests is one which will not rest
until it has been settled , and it is diffi
cult to see what settlement can ever
be reached without the intervention of
state and national authority and the
general adoption of regulative meas
ures. The corporations that own and
operate the railroads have given little
cause for hope by their pact action and
present attitude that they will ever be
guided by the principles of justice or a
regard for public rights where these
oome in conflict with the selfish inter
ests uf the managers. So long as there
are rival interests struggling with
each other there will ba no possi
bility of concert of action based on a
recognition of the just demands of
the public , and if a federation of in- !
teresta should ba carried so far aa to j
make unity of action possible , a
pcwer over the material concerns of f
the pnblic would be established which I
certainly could not be safely left free
from a distinct responsibility to public
authority. Whatever may be the
course of future development , a legal
supervision and control within proper
limits will bo necessary to secure the
r'chtB and interests ef the people
against the encroachments of corporate
power , and the sooner they are estab
lished the easier will be the task of
bringing the vast.enginery employed
in the business of iransportatlou under
sjlntary control.
The subject is occupying attention
in several of thtrtitates , and measures
are pending in oongreBJ whish are to
" a earnestly pressed for consideration
- Mrr Ren-
nring tho-prexent semen ,
, an ia reported as determined to se-
into sction upon his'bill In the house ,
.f possible , and as it is now before the
: oramitto3 of the whole in a position
f priority to all other business except
ppropriations , itii likoiy that ho will
.ucceed. Whether this or any (0thor
measure is adopted before tha adjourn
ment or not , there will be some Ad
vantage in o discussion of the subject
which trill define the position of mem
ber * , BO that the public may know how
ihev stand in relation to the general
question. TboMatsachusetts railroad
commissioners , lo their communication
to the chamber of commerce of this
City , while strongly favoring action
by state authority to prevent dis
criminations and secure aupervlaion
and control , were disposed to deprecate -
cate national action for precisely the {
sima objects in the field of inter-state
commerce. But , notwithstanding
their apprehensions , every argument
which they used in support of the
policy for separate states applies with
full torcu to tbo necessity of national
action. The railroads hove overspread
the face of the country , passim ? from
state to state and crossing boundaries
at whicli the jurisdiction of state
authority stops. The abuses and
wrongs of whioh complaint is
made are not confined within state
limits , and the remedy must be
coextensive with the evil in order to be
offeotuiJ. For the several states to
act independently end yet harmoni
ously , so a ? "to establish a system of
laws and of execution of laws which
should adequately meet the necessi
ties of the case , would be as impossible
as it would be for them to exist and
work harmoniously together in a
p ilitical sense without the bond of the
Qnion and the recognition of supreme
authority in the Nation. States can
only regulate their own internal com
merce , and the commerce by railroad
that most needs regulation is that
which extends over and through states
from one part of the country to
another. Of the power of congress in
the premises there is no question. Of
the occasion for exorcising it there
ought to bo no doubt. The problem
to ba solved has only to do with
moihods'and limitations.
There are ctro bills befero the house
of representatives that reported by
the committee on coccmerce and that
proposed as a substitute by Mr. Rea
gan. The former is understood to
have bean drawn up by Mr. Charles
Francis Adams , Jr. t and is presumed
to embody the provisions to which the
railroad interest is generally willing
to submit. It provides for a board of
national road commissioners , to have
general suparvision over inter-state
lines , but with little power beyond
that of watching and reporting ,
f hey are to see that the United States
laws affecting railroads are enforced ,
but tha value of that function obvi
ously depends on what the laws are.
It forbids discrimination in general
terms , but would allow of pooling ar
rangements , rebaten , drawbacks , and
olhor devices by which discrimination
is wrought indirectly. The Reagan
bill is much more stringent , prohibit
ing all discrimination In rates and
charges between individual ; , all allow
ances of rebates and drawbacks , all
pooling nrwngoments to prevent com
petition and discrimination between
-places to tbo extent of charging more
per car load for a shorter than for n
longer dial-nice. It does not assume
to fix or to limit charges , but requires
nil railroads coming within Us provis
ions to keep their schedule's ofrates"
posted , which cannot ba changed with
out five days' notice , and to ndbere
strictly to the rates so published.
These are the main foituwa of
the bill , apart from very r'gid
provisions in regard to penalties
for violation. It provides for no
commission to look after its enforce
ment , a defect which oonld be reme
died in a separate measure. It is hi-
moat a certainty that l gi litiou will
largely fail of its purpose unless there
la some one agency employed to secure
its prompt and constant execution ,
aud held responsible for the perform
ance of that duty. It is n serious
question , too , whether it will not be
necessary to give that agency the pow
ers of c spscinl tribunal for the settle
ment of dippntea and difficulties , asia
dona in England. 7he Reagan bill
by itself does not meet all the require
ments of the case , but it may well be
made the baaia of a consideration of
thevsubjact In its various bearings ,
which should not bo longer postponed.
With the failure to secure certain
results , when measure after measure
has been tried , then the "last resort"
cornea into service and produces the
effects desired , as in the following caae
mentioned to us by Mr. _ J. Wil
son , Esq. , of L. M. Ham &
Co. , Manufacturers of Bank
Vaults and Steel Chests , 158 Portland
St. , Boston , Mass. : , For two years
my mother-in-law suffered with rheu
matism and tried various remedies
without relief. She finally determined
to use St. Jacobs Oil , and with the
application of the remedy was immed
iately relieved. ,
