senators who made the republican
party odious during the Grant admin
istration and finally brought it into a
minority. His boon companions in

THE NEBRASKA SENATORS.
Every intelligent citizen of Nobros
ba who lifts been n resident of th
state during the pant fiva years know
that her two senators wore elected at
the representatives of that element o
the republican party that favors certain
tain political reforms and opposes lh <
domination of railway monopolies
The forces arrayed in the sonatoria
campaigns of 1870 and 1881 were di
vidcd upon the same issue. In boll
of these Reii.ilori.il campaigns the Un
ion Pacific Ilailroad came forwan
with its candidate , nnd its cohort ;
massed in his support wort
defeated in pitched battle atic
died with their boots on
After each of those great battles th <
defeated party sought to retrieve thoil
disaster by changing the tune of then
organs from intense hostility to pro
found admiration and nauseating flat
tory. After exhausting nil the tally al
their command upon those senators ,
other potential agencies are employee
to divert them from the path of po
litical honor and sacred duty , It
due time the monopoly organs liavt
oven gone so far as to assort that the
senators are under no obligations tc
anybody for their election except tlio'u
"friends , " the brass collar brigade
And now the licpublican corpi the cli
max of impudence by assorting tlia
neither Saunders nor Van Wyck arc
indebted for their seats in the BonaU
to anti-monopolists. Concerning tlu
claims of the Union Pacific upon Mr
Saundor the Itcpublican says :
Mr. Hosowator finds it convcnion
to disremcmbor that Gov , Saundoi ?
was elected Bonator by a union bo
twcon the railroad opponents of Mr.
Hitchcock and a portion of tlu
friends of the Union Pacific
road , led by Albinua Nanco , win
were not hostile to Mr. Hitch
cock , but , who convinced that that
gentleman could not bo elected , de
cidcd to cast their votes opportunely
and decisively for a gentleman who
without being hostile to the people
was the friend of both the Burlingtoi
& Missouri and Union Pacific roads
in common with all the railroads ii
the ntato. " "
"Anti-monopoly" playec
no part whatever in the defeat of Mr
Hitchcock nnd the election of Gov
Saunders.
Wo wore not aware until now tha
Mr. Nanco cast his vote for Govcrnoi
Saundern by direction of the Unioi
Pacific. Ho was pledged , voted foi
and elected to the legislature as ai
anti-Hitchcock man , and anti- Hitch
cock in 1870 was synonymous will
anti-Uniun Pacific.
Had Mr. Nanco intimated that hi
was a "friend" of the Union Pacific ,
which as generally understood nowa
days moans a willing tool-he
would have boon defeated.
The sentiment that prevaMed in
the district represented by Mr. Nanco
prevailed in every section of the state ,
candidates wore everywhere
[ dodged to .oppose Hitchcock
or any other man win
was identified with monopolies. Jloso-
water Iws a very distinct recollection
that the cardinal principle of the nnti-
Hitchcock element which elected Mr.
Saunders was opposition to the polit
ical domination of railroads.
Hy that term was understood oppos-
Lion to the political control of conven
tions , legislatures and congressmen
by railay monopolists. The objec
tion tojSonator Hitchcock was not aim-
ily that ho was a friend of Jay Gould
> ut because his votes and influence in
congress wore given in sunport of the
monopolies to the detriment of his
constituents. Against this friendship
; ho people revolted and Mr. Saundoru
was as loud as any other man in its
denunciation. What was roprohonsi-
) lo in Hitchcock cannot bo made coin-
nondablo in hiu successors. , t
General Vim Wyck's election , winch
occurred loss tlian six months ago , and
vim hailed not only in Nebraska , but
all over the union as an out and out
anti-monopoly victory , is now repre
sented as a moro personal triumph ,
entirely disconnected with the rall- :
way issue.
As to Senator Van Wyck , snya the
llepublican , ho was the nominee of a
republican caucus , composed of n ma-
ority of the members of the legisla
te. Into that caucus "anti-monop
oly" did not enter in the least. It
was composed of the adherents of
Judge Weaver , the preferred candidate -
date of the Burlington and Missouri ;
: ho adherents of Judge Post , the pro-
'
'erred candidate of mon who wore
: rionds of the Union Pacific ; adher
ents of Judge Dandy , who was
objectionable to the friends of
neither of these corporations ;
: ho adherents of Jndgo Mason , who
wcro certainly not distinctively "anti-
monopoly" men ; the adherents of
Judge Kaloy and Hon. James Laird ,
who were friends of the Burlington &
Missouri road nnd the adherents of
Gen. Van Wyck , who were by no
raoans anti-monops. of the Rosewater
iypo. Mr. Rosewater well knows that
: io was made to have a realizing sense
: hat from the counsels of that combi
nation ho was excluded , that in its
locision ho had no voice or jwrt. Wa
lo not say this to diaparago Mr ,
Rosownter personally. Wo nay it
simply in the sense of saying that the
antf-monoiioly principle which ho rep
resents in his person and in his jour-
naJ , played no port whatever in the
composition , the deliberations or the
action of that caucus ,
This is decidedly cool and refreshing.
It is true General Van Wyck was
lominatod in a caucus , but it was not
it republicancaucusbutacauctuiof men
respective of party , professing to be
nti-Paddock men , nino-tonth of
whom woreoutapokonaut { monopolists ,
losewator took no part in their do-
Derations because none but mom-
bora were admitted , but ho was 'the
prime mover of that cauciw , holpc
to organize it and originate
the two-third rule , without whic
General Van Wyck never could hav
IMMJM nominated.
Judge Weaver probably was th
preferred candidate of the 31. fc J !
railroad , as Messrs. Laird and Kale
were its friends , but Weaver's ( friene :
took great pains to deny that ho wa
a "friend" of the B. & M. , and Rose
watorhimseifwas called onbyonoof hi
supporters to vouch for him as a
anti-monopoly man.
A majority of Mr. Weaver's supi > ort
ors were pledged by their districts 5
convcntionsjlo support no candidat
who was in any way identified wit
monopolies. Notable among thcs
were representatives of Thaycr an
Fillmore counties.
Mr. Post may have had some sup
porters who had a secret attachmon
to the Union Pacific , but every mane
them Tins an nvowod nnti-monopolist
and a majority of them , notably th
ropresontativea of Butler aud Yor
counties , were pledged to their constituents
stituonts as anti-monopolists.
As to General Van Wyck himself
it is historic nnd notorious that h
wan an open and defiant anti-monopo
list , both before nnd after his clcctioi
as senator , and both the Union Paci
fie and Burlington & Missouri Rive
managers had spotted him ai
the man , whom , of nil others
they would oppose at nil points. Th
Union Pacific forces died with the !
preferred candidate and the B , & M
only acquiesced in General Vai
Wyck's election because they coulc
not encompass his defeat.
As far as THE Bei : nnd its odito
are concerned no favors arc askc (
from these senators although noitho
of them could have been elected with
out their active support.
M What wo hayo demanded and have
a right to insist on is that these ropro
prosontativos of the anti-monopol ;
element shall sustain the great princi
pies which gave them victory and con
forced upon them the most honorable
and responsible positions within tlu
gift of this state.
THE CZAR'S KINGDOM.
The condition of affairs in Russia i
daily growing worse. The disconton
which the government has been en
deavoring to persuade itself was con
fined strictly to n small band of social
istic outlaws , has spread to the army
During the last month between twenty
ty and thirty officers have been ar
rented , one of them a lioutcimn
colonel of the Emporor's Guards. The
marines are said , to bo especially
honeycombed with Nihilism and throe
of their loading officers are under ar
rest for complicity in the murder o
the czar. Mistrust of the emperor
poror and discontent with tlu
present S3'stum of go vcrnmont per
vaden'ovcry class throughout the om
piro. Now Nihilistic organs are con
stantly appearing , threatening the
lives of the emperor nnd his ministr
and predicting the speedy downfall o
the present system of government bj
an organized uprising of the people
Meanwhile terror seems to | | lmvo per
vadcd every department of the gov
eminent and the most oxtraordinay
exertions nro being made to protec
the lives of the czar nnd his family
irom the secret plots of his hidden
aut powerful , enemies. Two hundrcc
> olico have been sent to the Peter
lof palace to assist the largo force
of soldiery in watching against
the emissaries of the .Nihilists , photo
graphs of all the railway olKciah
-lu'outhout ; the empire have been ta
con and lodged in a government do
mrtment in order to aid in the do
.oction of Nihilists 'disinn'scd in rail
r oad costumes , and an official searcl
of all the St. Petersburg canals has
joon ordered to search for hidden
nines of dynamite or'to ferret out the
secret lurking places of the dangerous
and untiring conspirators.
When the present emperor ascended
the throne , promises of speedy reforms
were made on his behalf by Hussion
official shigh in authority in the om-
piro. It was understood that
speedy stops would bo taken looking
to a representative government nntl
radical reforms in the administration
of the national laws. NonoJof those
promises have boon fulfilled. The
policy of Alexander III seems but a
continuation of that of his father. Hems
ms surrounded himself with counsel
ors opposed to every concession to
ho popular demand nnd who nro
homsolvoa personally interested in
continuing the present system of op-
> ression. The single measure looking
oward a conciliation of the peasantry ,
which wa introduced some time
inco jy Count Ignatioir , still remains
unexecuted. This loudly heralded
reform which in intended to adjust
ho relations of the peasants to the
andod proprietors contains two
whits the diminution of the peas-
ints1 land redemption tax and the
inal and compulsory agreement of
J37,000 odd peasants with their pro-
Jriotora in regard to land allotments.
The first point is the one particularly
nontioned as being deferred for fur-
her consideration , while the second is
pparently put off until the
.rat shall have boon com
pletely drawn up. The rooMuro , aa
laborated by Molikoff and Abaza
lad already passed the council of state
hen these two uiinUters roiigned ,
and now it will have to como bcfon
the council again after its vacation ii
September next. The present mo
nient is thought to bu unfavorable foi
the introduction of such a boon to thi
peasantry on account of the excitement
mont prevailing among them in rogim
to the JOWB and their secret manifes
tations of sympathy with the czar' ,
enemies.
The policy of procrastination indicated
catod by the ministerial action upoi
the agrarian low it boinc { pursued ii
all other direetiim looking lo an ;
practical reform of domestic affairs ii
Russia. The hopes of the reformer
unduly elevated by the accession o
Alexander III have been dashed ti
the ground by the general listlessnes
of his ministers. Nihilism is permeating
ating every clement of society am
winning converts from all classes
The universities , the professions
every walk of trade , the army , im
navy , and oven the peasantry are becoming
coming daily more nnd more dlsaflcctei
and correspondingly ripe for revolu
lion , A thunder cloud is gatherinj
over the head ' > f thn young czar ant
his adviaora , which neorun likely oooi
to burst , and when the otorra is eve :
it will bo found that popular right !
will have asserted themselves nnd i
responsible government will hav <
taken the place of the present system
oj despotism , which is a disgrace t (
nineteenth century civilization.
A QUERY.
To the Editor ol Tuit UKH.
Will you please to inform mo if UK
late sudden conversion of the Omalii
Herald from anti-transportation to nr
enthusiastic river transnortatior
paper , is not duo in the main to tlu
fact that his God , Jay Gould , owm
the lately opened barge line botwoor
St. Louis and Now Orleans ]
bfQUIIlBU.
No one has over attempted to ac
count for the numerous flops of UK
Omaha Herald. The booming of the
barge lines by monopoly organs ii
only a convenient method of whipping
the devil around the stump nnd di
verting attention from the railroac
question. In this the monopoly jour
nals are not alono. There are a nuin
her of politicians in the state whose
record stamps them as the tools and
cappers of monopolies who are howl
ing long and loudly for the river route
nnd competition , while at the
same tinio using every effort to fasten
the chains of corporation oppression
on our people. TUB BEK urged the
opening up of the Missouri to barge-
line transportation seven years
ago. But it must bo re-
romomborcd that oven with the best
of improvements along the Missouri ,
western producers will still bo depend
ent upon the railroads during n largo
portion of the year. Wo don't know
whether Mr. Jay Gould's schemes to
divert the grain trafiio from Ghicagc
to St. Louis , and thence down the
Mississippi to the gulf are responsible
for the JTerald'a itiddon flop'on the
barge question , but we are certain
that it is not duo to any regard for the
intercuts of Nebraska producers as
against the monopolies.
THE enormous cost of funerals in
the United Slates is being urged
by advocates of cremation as a strong
argument in favor of their reform.
The extravagance which characterizes
the funerals of the presout day is no
loss wicked than ridiculous. One and
one-fourth times is
morojinonoy ex
pended annually in funerals in the
United States than the government
expends for public school purposes.
Funerals cost two nnd one-half times
moro money annually than would buy
the grounds and buildings of all the
universities and colleges in America.
The amount of money expended on
funerals in the United States , if saved
for a fraction over four years , would
equal the total sum disbursed by our
governments for pensions during the
last twenty years. Funerals cost this
country in 1880 enough money to
[ > ay the liabilities of all the commer
cial failures in the Uuitod States dur
ing the same year , and give each
bankrupt a capital of $8,030 'with
which to rosinno business. Funerals
cost annually moro money than the
value of the combined gold and silver
yield of the United States in the year
1880. The population of the Christian -
tian world , in round numbers , is about
100,000,003 , people , n little loss than
ono-third the population of the entire
earth. At the average coat of burying
the dead in the United States , the
Christian world would expend nnnu-
lly for funerals 8800,000,000 , nt a
safe estimate. Lot this annual oxpon-
tlituro of money bo saved , with its ac-
: rued interest at 0 per cent , for a tri-
lo over twenty years , and it would
my elf the combined national debts
of the world. These figures do not
ncluelo the enormous sums invested
n burial grounds and expended in
ombs and monuments nor the loss
rom depreciation of property in the
icinity of cemeteries
journalists are nothing if
lot enterprising. The Now Orleans
Jtmoerat has fitted up a branch oflico
an a barge , which , having boon towed

Wherever and whohover that "gen

known aa Rosewater , takes it into it

How was it with Hitchcock an
Paeldock , the two senatorial locomo
lives that wcro heading for Washing
ton over Jay Gould's line , unmindfu
of the fact that the insignificant anti
monopoly body was planted athwar
the track ? Did they hurt Rosowato
very much when they tumbled int
the ditch and were wrecked ? Wi
the successors of Hitchcock and Pad
dock disregard past experience ? I
they do they will discover to thoi
sorrow whan it is too late that the ob
struntions on the monopoly track an
a good deal harelcr to dislodge no\
than they wcro in 1877 and 1881.
The Military Rond.
ELK lloux CmNob. . , Juno 20.
To the County Commissioners o
Douglas County : Wo are sorry to be
compelled to openly denounce your ac
tion in r gard to changing the loca
tion of the old Military road. Wi
have lived on this road foryears. We
bought our farms hero expecting 'i
would always remain where it was
Certain parties havoboughtlandnloni
this road , knowing that it passce
through the land when they made the
purchase. Now wo ask what righ
you have to change this road , the.
greatest thoroughfare in the state
around the corner of a nmn'i
farm just to accommodate bin
when it was such a great detrlracn
to the thousands of others. It has
bo'on changed around ono farm , nnt
wo learn that several other changes
arc promised. Wo did have a nice
ridge road to Omaha , with connecting
roads coming in from different diree
tions , making this the main road , securing
curing to Omaha the trade from DOUR
las and a portion of Washington ant
Dodge counties , and a great eloal from
farther west and the upper Elk Horn
counties. Thousands of farmers from
far westand north of this place make
Omaha their trading point. This ole
military road is known as the besl
road in the state , and all enjoy trav
eling it. Now change this road around
every newcomers farm , tor no old settler
tlor wants it changed , and wo
will bo five or six miles
farther from Omaha besides innumer
able gullies and hills to pass over ,
which will have to bo graded and
bridged at tlu county's expense , and
you will surely throw all this trade to
Fremont or some other point , besides
robbing us of what wo claim to bo our
rights. Ono old settler who has lived
in this county a good many years
owns a very beautiful farm with this
road running through it , which ho
offers for sale. Ho says ho won't live
where ho cannot elopond on having a
decent road to got his crops to mar
ket. A petition would got hundreds
of signers asking that this road shall
never bo changed. It is certainly
good enough where it is and it costs
nothing to keep it in repair. It is of
vital importance to this western coun
try and especially to Omaha and Doug
las county to have it remain where it is.
The principal question asked ia , Do
wo elect officers to look after the in
terest of the many or the few ? Where
do our interests Ho ?
Wo sincerely hope the Omaha press
will take up this question and discuss
it fully. Much has been said and
written about opening a road to Saunders
dors county nnd even bridge the
Platte river to secure that trade. Por-
liaps it would bo well to look after
the great thoroughfare wo have , and
nro about to lose.
Mr. Editor , if you will allow tins
to appear in your columns , you will
oblige MANY CITIZENS.
Without being fully informed of the
causes which have led to the above
complaint , THK BKK calls attention to
the growing tendency nmoiig county
boards to change the location of estab
lished roads upon insuiliciont reason * .
Where such changes are made with
the result of logthoning the roads they
cannot bo denounced too strongly.
No-privatointerest should bo allowed
to ovorido the manifest convenience
of the public. A road once
located , especially if it has
sccamo a great public thoroughfare
iko the military road should not be
changed , except such change is plainly
'or the interest of the greater portion
of the people who use it. Not only
ho farmers residing along such n
thoroughfare , but also the towns
which it connects and every traveler ,
s vitally intorontod in making it as
straight as possible.
