SOCIALISM is itself another name for

If carried to its logical result ajran-
auism in Nebraska will end in the
smpensioa of every rogua who sails
out his constituency in a legislature at

It is Interesting and most laugha
ble , n ya Mr. TouzUin , to observe how
quickly an "anti-monopolist" can be

euch trifle will , in a day a notice , kin
dle an anti-monopoly fire in a disap

If the railroads give up making sen
ators , congressmen , and governors if
they do away with passes to legisla

citizens , if their agants are compelled
to treat patrons of the roads civilly and
respectfully , then , according to Mr.
Touzalln , there will be no anti-mo

THE court of common pleas of
Like county , Ohio , has mada a de
cision in the case of a conteit be
tween the two sects of the Mormons
for the possession of the tample of
Kirkland , where Jossph Smith estab
lished the Mormon church , In 1830.
The conrt holds that the "Reorgan
ized Church of Jesus Chris * , of Litter
Day Stints , " or , othsrwisa , the anti-
polygamous Mormons , were entitled
to the propsrty , because the church in
Utah "iaa departed from the faith ,
doctrines , laws , ordinances and usages
of said original 'Church of Jesnt
Christ of Litter Day Saints , ' and has
incorporated into its system of faith
the doctrines of celestial marriage
and a plurality of wives , and the doc
trine of Adam God worship , contrary
to the la ITS and constitution of said
original church. " The Smithites are
declared by the court to bo the con
tinuation of the original Mormon
church.
This is said to be the first judicial
determination [ of the question of le
gitimacy of the two branches of ihe
Mormon church , and it declares the
Utah Mormons to ba apostates from
the faith , and the monogamlo Mor-
- tnons the true spiritual and temporal
heirs of Ihe church founded by Joseph
Smith.

wrestling with the problem of

has been organized whose proposition

poee to light the entire city wiihin its

promises to light the same

and to furnish additional lights , giving
forty times the illumination of a gas

MB. TOUZALIN'S SIX REASONS.
Every member of the legislature
before entering upon his duty takes a
solemn oath to support the constitu
tion cf the United States and the
constitution of Nebraska. This oath
every member is in duty bound to.
take without mental reservation.
Every member who takes thia oath
and fails to comply with the require
ments of the constitution to the best
cf his ability is a perjurer just as
much as a man who accepts a bribe era
a promise of a briba in consideration
of a vote ho may give. Now the con
stitution of Nebraska , expressly dir
ects the legislature to pass a law
prohibiting the pooling of parallel
lines of railway. It directs them to
enact laws to compel railroad man
agers to report the earnings of their
roids. Th3 constitution expressly
makes it the duty of the legislature to
provide suitable penalties to prevent
unjust discrimination , extortion and
other abuses by railway companies.
And now comes Mr. TonzrJin ,
general ! manager of the B. & M.
railroad in Nebraska , and exhorts the
legislature to commit perjury by ask
ing ihem not to pass any laws what
soever that will many , way comply with
the requirements of the constitution
upon railroads. Mr. Touzalin gives
six reasons why every member of the
legislature should perjure himself and
go back to hfa constituents branded
forever as an infamous esoundrol.
Mr. Touzalin's first reason for advi
sing the legislature to commit perjury
fi "becansa f\5 railroads are the larg
est property owners in the stale and
more interested than individuals
can be in preventing imicwe
legislation tvhicli always hynns. " This
is certainly a startling proposition.
The owners of the railroads in Nebras
ka ara citizens of Massachusetts and
New York , and they have the inso
lence to demand that the laws of Ne
braska shall be franiad in their inter
est , as against the interest of the pee
pie of thia state. A faw years ago it
'WAS to the interest of thesa owners of
Nebraska property to nhirk their taxes
upon millions of acres of land donated
to them by the general government
and the state. The people of Nebras
ka eought redress through their repres
entatives in congress by the enactment
of a law compelling the railroads to
pay 'taxes upon.all their lands. S ach
a law was pissed _ by the lower
house of congress , bat the
railroad managers succeeded in
strangling the bill through their tools
In the United States senate. A3 a last
resort the people of Nebraska went in
to the courts and spent over" * $100,000
for attorneys sotvicos to secura a
decree of the United States supreme
court to compel thesa tax chirking
monopolies to pay their taxes. No
doubt Mr. Tcuzalln thought that the
land tax bill w&s au act of "unwise
legislation. " The lords and barons of
England who own three-fourths of the
land in Ireland , In like manner insist
that any measures to ameliorate the
condition of their tenants is "unwiae
legislation. "
Mr. Touzilin's second reason for
asking the members of the leg
islature to commit psrjury is , baoauso ,
' 'Railroid men are earnest believers
in the principles of commercial free
dom. They know from experience ,
they have learned from the study of
Eolltical economy and commercial
iw , and they have learned from the
experience of other states that re
strictive legislation does not restrict ,
but cripples the exercise of that judi
cious discrimination , which must be
exercised in order to foster and on-
oonrage the resources of a country so
greatly dependent as Nebraska ie on
cheap railroad transportation. "
According to Mr. Touzalin's idea of
"commercial freedom" public carriers
should be allowed perfect freedom to
build up one town and tear down an
other by judicious discrimination.
Such is the case now in a little town
in Gage county , which has been re
cently founded by an inside land ring
of the B. & M. , a mile and a half
from an old established town. Such
"commercial freedom" was exhibited
by Jay Gould when ho threatened
*
to destroy the town of Co
lumbus ; such commercial freedom"
exists on the line of the U. P. in the
coal business , whore pets of the corpo
ration enjoy a monopoly of the trade ;
such "commercial freedom" was exer
cised by the B. & M. when they re
futed Owen & Co. transportation
rates below the regular tariffs but
granted rebates on the very grain that
Owen Go. owned , as soon as they
had sold out to a favorite firm.
Mr. Touzalin's third reason for asking
the members of the Nebraska legisla
ture to commit perjury is because
"railroads desire to avoid conflict with
the laws. " This is decidedly cool.
Every man in the land who contem
plates violence or intends to take other
men's property without jast compensa
tion , "desires io avoid conflict with
the laws. " Twenty years ago Jeff Davis
protested against tha enactment of
coercion laws by the congress of the
United States. He claimed that the
rebellious slave-holders were the
"largest property owners" in the
southern confederacy , and didn't
want any laws to conflict with their
"vested rights" and peculiar institu
tion * . This did not stop the government -
ment from interfering.
The fourth reason why Mr. Touzslin
asks the members cf the legislature of
Nebraska to commit perjury ia be
cause
Rallroads/Tiive found tint capital
proverbial for its timidity , n alarmed
and repelled by the mere tgustion of
this question , and they know ILat the
passage of lawa harmless in themselves
wili greatly increase the ahf in , and
prevent further investment"
This is the worst kind of boah. Mr.
Touzslia in his own letter has shows
that fourteen abates have already
legislated on the railroad question.
Among these are Massachusetts , New
York , Illinois , Michigan , Missouri ,
California , Wisconsin , Iowa , Georgia
and Minnesota , Haa capital been
frightened from investment in those
tatos ? Doesn't the record of railway
building show more miles in railroad
built In Illinois a d Wiscontiu than in
Nebraska ? If railroad buildine in Ne
braska were dependent upon legalized
piracy then we had bettor wait a while
until capitalists who will be contended
with reasonable profits are willing to
Invest here.
The fifth reason why Mr. Touz > Hn
asks the legislators of Nebraska to
perjure themselves is the railroad
managers
"fear that the example of Nebraska
may be followed by states east of us ,
and they know that the resultsof such
prednrea east of us will cripple our
facilities for reaching a market. "
This is about as unreasonable as the
fourth plea. Mr. Tonzalin knows
that the enactment of any laws east
of Nebraska , unless passedby , congress ,
can not in the remotest degree affect
through ratoa. No matter what laws
Iowa , Illinois , Michigan and Ohio
may enact a contrast made by the B.
& M. in Nebraska will hold
good. Bat all this bug
bear about the raising of through
rates from Nebraska is all moonshine.
Should such through rates be doubled
to-day , means would ba found at onca
to remedy the evil by reducing bulk
through the starting of great manu
facturing enterprises , which would
give a horns market for our produce.
Wo should "hare in all the important
towns ia Nebraska packing housss ,
starch factories , grist mills and
beef canning establishment * .
The sixth reason why Mr. Touzalin
wauls the members of the legislature
to commit perjury is because the
railroad managers
"are themselves citizens and property
holders of the state , and It is their
duty to themselves to give their views
in their individual capacities , and pre
vent if possible such railroad legisla
tion as will impair their private Inter-
eats , even if a smill temporary addi
tion is mada to the ravezuea of the
corporations they serve. "
\VilhinoneblockfromTHEBEE office
fivs railroads officials occupy rooms
in one building who draw an aggre
gate of $70,000 a year in salaries. We
don't know what Mr. Touzilin draws
per annum but we venture
to eay that tha five of
ficials in the U. P. heai-
quarters would prefer to sacrifice
their "private interests" and let the
public be robbad during the rest of
their natural lives , rather than have
their names taken off the U. P. pay
roll.
roll.In
In conclusion , Mr. Touzalin asks
members of the legislature to
commit perjury by enacting a
law which , under their oath of
office , they cannot enac * . Mr.
Touzalin asks the legislature to pass a
la'w creating a railroad commission ,
when he knows enough to know that
such an act would bo void. Article 5 ,
Executive department , after enumer
ating the various executive officers
of the state , reads as follows : '
"No other executive state office
shall be continued or created , and the
duties now devolving upon officers not
provided for by this constitution shall
ba performed by the officers herein
created. "
Now , a boird of salaried railroad
commissioners could not be croitcd by
the legislature unless the persons das-
ignated already hold state offiios. If
the legislature should follow Mr. Tou-
zilin's advice the law would ba either
vetoed by the governor as unconsti
tutional , or the railroads would resist
it in the coucts. In either bus tha
mandate of tha constitution which
requires ths legislature to enact laws
to prevent unjust discrimination , and
extortion would be defeated. And
this is why Mr Tonzalic has written
six columns to the Omaha Republican
to bo published at the expense of the
corporations which have pooled their
political attorneys , political editors
and the political lobby that hangs
around the legislature.
