ccount it is the duty of voters at the
rimarios to carefully scan the records
f every man who puts in n
lea for official recognition. No
ndividital who , in Union past ,
as betrayed the trust reposed in him
iy the people , should bo for n moment
onsidorod as ft candidate. Convor-
ions on the eve of nomination are
cldom lasting , and the farmers of
Nebraska have had n bitter experience
rom trusting in the promises of renegade -
gado monopoly tools. The represcn-
aiivcs of the people in public oflico
hould be men of integrity and above

hose who have earnestly and con-
is ton tly supported the nnti-monopoly
movement in this state nro men capable

mportant for our citizens to realize
hat there is yet much to be done bo-
: ere Omaha will bo ready for the in-

of Omaha to entertain them properly.

THIS is the age of monopolies. An
other mammoth corporation lias ere
atod quite a sensation at the Ohi
state capital and throughout Centra
Ohio , by the vostness of its capita
and the scope of its cnturpriso.
yndicnto springing tlrectly out of
' lie Standard Oil company , one of the
lost formidable monopolies in Amor-
ca , has just been formed under the
1111113 of Standard Coal nmllron compa-
iy. This corporation proposes to buy up
all the coal nnd iron interests in the
locking valley region Hint cnn bo
louylit.
The Standard Coal company starts
ut with all the interest of fho Ohio
Central company , including about
wo thousand acres of coal and iron
andfl , and much inoro from private
owners. It has nearly all the blast
urnaccs in the valley and other vain-
ib'o interests , and is said to have op-
ions on the Hnydcn A Longsliath
coal interests , the former of which
s estimated nt 6-100,000.
It is proposed , as soon as the or
ganization is ready for business , to
[ ot 10,000 cars specially for the trndo
if the Standard company. The pro-
cctors are represented as disclaiming
uiy purpose to create an opprcsuvo
iiynopoly. The very fact of such a
onccntration of interests and
woporty implies a monopoly , and all
nonopolies arc oppressive to a greater
less degree.
SIIINKY DILLON and party stopped
mlf an hour on the crest of the
tocky Mountains at Sherman
o inspect the work on the
Ames monument. Sidney growled
nd swore at the builders because , in
lis opinion , the two great pillars upon
vhich the body.of the monument is
o rest , are trail and weak.Vo ap-
irohond that this attempt to comment
irate thos public virtues of the cham-
iion of credit mobilier in pillars of
ranito will bo classed among fho fol
ios of our day. If the Amos brothers
are to bo immortalized by monuments
or the active part they took in the
construction of the Union Pacific that
tational highway will bo their most
unporishablo niMiument. Long after
ho great pillars at Sherman have
crumbled into dust the Pacific rail'
road will continue as ono of the great
arteries through which commerce will
pulsate between the Atlantic and Pa
cific ocean.
Tin : lii ) : : again repeats that Omaha's
uturo lies in the hands of her enter
prising citizens. Exaggerated re
corts of her resources and condition ,
laddod out statistics of her commerce
nnd falsified statements of her wealth
and industries will certainly react
upon the makers. Our city is making
wonderful strides , but other towns are
doing the same. If the work of en
couraging new indvrstrios , suggesting
Municipal improvements and keeping
a general leak out fo.r now avenues of
trade is lifted from oil the shoulders
of ten or a dozen men and distributed
among our capitalists generally ,
Omaha's advance in the next four
yunrs will discount that of tlta las !
docado. More work and less wind is
ono of the crying wants of our city.

Jim. Wilxon'ii
, August 29.
In his "legal and powerful" argu-
nont at DCS MohiM , before the lefris-
ativo committees on railroads , Mr.
. P. Wilson propounded this quts-
ion : "Is the building , owning and
Hxsruting of railways private busi-
icssj" He answered : "Certainly it
s. within my definition Of the term.
Jut , by some stnmijo process of rca-
oning , ninny persons have arrived at
different conclusion ! hnvo come to
siwrd it na a public business a pub-
io employment. This idea seems to
pring from the fact that the power
if eminent domain is thoripht of way
or the construction of railways over
ho lands of such owners ns refuse to
[ ivo or sell such right. "
Mr. Wilson then entered upon a
irocoss of reasoning to show the error
if any " tnuuo ? process of rcasonini ? "
vhich , from an exertion of the gov-
irnnicnt power to take private prop-
irty for public use , roaches thoconclu-
ion that the use to which the proper-
y so takci is devoted , must bo ft
ublic use , and not , as Mr. Wilson
hinks , a "private business. " Ho
igrocd with Mr. Stanfordpresident ( of
ho Central Pacific railway ) that
" This right of eminent domain is
ixcrciscd for the benefit of the state
o promote political intercommunica-
ion between her citizens ; to cheapen
ransportation and traveling expenses ;
hat her resources may bo developed ;
hat her manufacturing and agricul-
.ural interests may bo fostered ; that
nducomcnts may bo holdout to the
.icoplo of other states to come and
cast their lot with us ; and that there
nay bo broad facilities for the rapid
interchange of the luxuries and neces
saries of life. For the accomplish-
nont of these objects , and in her own
interest , the state exercises the right
of eminent domain , but around such
exercise has most carefully drawn the
shield ot thu law for the protection of
the citizen. The state exacts that
ull compensation should bo made to
ho citizen by the railroad company nt
whose instance ho is compelled to sur
render the use of his property. The
citizen whose property is thus taken
'rom him by legal force makes no con-
ribution to railroad construction ho
s paid by the corporation the full
equivalent for the use of his property. "
"This is the trup view of the quos-
.ion , " said Mr. Wilson.
It is notable that this "true view
of the question" puts out of viowalto-
'ether the idea that the private prop-
irty taken by a public power tor plib-
"ic use must be devoted to public use ,
lot to the exclusive use of private per
sons , firms , or companies in carry-
ng on their own particular business ,
i'iiis icleu is the very cssonco of the
irinciplc which has been expressly
jinbouicd in her own political law. It
contemplates a private property which
-ho public agency takes for a public
use ; not for a different , private use
'rom which the public may expect to
derive an incidental benefit. Thus ,
irivato property in land taken for n
lublic highway is property taken for
niblic uso. It is taken not for an in-
iidnntal benefit which the public may
derive from its use by a private stagu
company running its coaches on the
public highway , out for the direct ben-
jfit which tho.entiro public will real
ize in an actual public use of the land
tnken.
The evidence that private property
has been taken for public UBO is the
fact that the property taken has boon
devoted ( o that public use by the
public niruncy. If it has been devoted
to publiu use , of courno no particular
person , or company of persons , can
Bet up any claim to its exclusive use
in carrying on a private business. Noi
c.ui the publiu agency furnish to pri
vate parties any foundation tor suuh n
claim by requiring them , instead o !
the public for whoso use it was taken ,
to pay the compensation to the pwnci
for the property taken. A thing is
devoted or applied to public use only
when all private use of it is excluded ,
of in the case of a public court-hoi'so ,
or when all members of the public are
equally free to use it for private con
venience , as in the case of public
highway. Moreover , it seems suf
ficiently plain that a property tnkci
for nnd oovoted to public use is no
longer taMiblo ns n private property.
In the case of private property
taken by a public power for tfio use o ;
a railway company , the proof that the
property is not taken for public use is
the fact that the public agency does
not devote it to the use of the public ,
but to the exclusive use of some met
who , Mr. Wilson says , are carrying 01
a private business. The property
taken neither passes into public use
nor oven into public possession. It is
transferred by the public agency frou
ono private owner directly to another
private owner , who has paid his owi
money for it , tnkes exclusive posses
sion of it , and holds nnd uses it for
the purposes of his > wn private bus !
ness enterprise. The public ngoncj
recognizes nnd assorts this fac'
by taxing the property in tin
possession of the now owner as it du
in the possession of the proviou
owner.
That the public realizes a benefi
from thu private use of the prpport ;
by the railway company is n circum
Blanco which in no way gives differ
ents aspect to the fact that the use i
not public , but private. Public benefit
fit is an incident of all legitimate private
vato employments of private property
or capital. Every man who embark
his privnto capital in nny business
not positively injurious to the public
confers a benefit upon the public
The establishment of n nianufacturni { ,
e iterpriso , the opening of u mercan
tile house , the erection of a musii
hall , art gallery , theatre , hotel o :
privnto ihvulling-houso , is a privati
use of property which confers a pub
Ho benefaction. If the argument fo
the exertion of the power of ominmi
domain on behalf of railway compa
nies , on the urouiid that railways nro
n public benefaction , bo a valid one
would it bo a less valid argument fo
the exertion of that power on bohal

any.These
These are some considerations whicl
seem to warrant the opinion that the
view which Mr. Wilson says is "the
true view of the question" is in reali
ty a false view of the question , and
that the ' 'strange process of reason
ng" in not the one to which the ns-
tirant to senatorial distinction alludes
> y these words , but the ono which
haractorizes his own ( and Mr. San
owl's ) argument. That argument
vill not bear examination , it turns
ut to bo very transparent sophistry.
Tlio Railway Problem in England.
ew York I'rwt.
The select committee on railway
ntcs of the Knglish house of com-
lions have submitted n brief report
jmbrocin ? some very important con-
lusions. They recommend that a
icrmancnt special tribunal Im cslab-
ishetl to which shall bo referred
luestions arising as to the rights and
lutica of railway companies in their
relations to the trndo and traflic of
he country ; that this tribunal have
urisdiction to enforce the provisions
if all railway laws , including their
icts ot incorporation , nnd nlso to
edrcss in cnscs of alleged illegal
ilmrgcs ; that n locus standi before it
10 given to chambers of commerce
uul similar associations ; that terminal
charges ( if any ) should bo separated
nnd distinguished from conveyance
charges in all cnscs ; nnd that railway
companies should bo bound to make
10 increase in any rate or rates with
out nt least ono month's public notice
"n the locality.
Thcso recommendations are the re
mit in part for the committee have
lot concluded their labors of n pro-
.ractcd and painstaking inquiry.
riioy arc really conservative in spirit ,
ilthough the proposed tribunal will ,
f the recommendation is adopted by
parliament , introduce n new feature
nto the modes of procedure in nn im-
> ortant class of civil actions. Some
dilative stops in this direction liavo
icon taken by legislatures in our
western states , such an making the
state's attorneys the prosecuting
officers in cases where private parties
complain of illegal exactions on the
) art of railway companies , and em-
lowering railway commissioners to
jring actions in the name of the state
nt the instance of private complnm-
ints. These remedies have generally
irovod to bo valueless by reason of
ho delay attending the proceedings ,
HI preference being given to such
: oscs on the court dockets , and none
ing admissible without injustice to
irivato suitors. A special tribunal
with nothing to do but to examine
such cases , and having exclusive juris-
liction of them , nnd vested with nu-
; hority to enforce its decrees , is the
only rational mode of doing the thing
after it is once decided that the thing
Might to bo done. This decision has
icon reached , as stated , after years
of discussion in uarlinmcut and the
press , and there can bo little doubt
ihat it will bo concurred in by the
cgislativo power. Nor cnn there bo
uiy doubt that its influence will be
strongly felt-in other EuRlish-speak-
ing countries. It is worthy ot re
mark that the plan proposed is within
the lines of recommendations made by
ieading exports in this country that
is , by the few men who have made
the "railway problem" their princi
pal study without the bias of owner
ship of railway property.
The Iowa Sonatorslilp-
McGregor New s.
Keep it before the people that John
H. Gear has made for two terms the
best governor Iowa has ever had.
Keep it before the people that over
since his re-election he has been recognized
nizod ns the proper man for our people
plo to advance to the position of their
senator , to succeed the sonatorships
of Governor Kirkwood and Governor
Grimes. This prestige ho has honor
ably won and will as honorably hold
to the end. Every mnn in Iowa who
acts on the principle of true civil ser
vice reform , of reward nnd advance
inont for efficient and satisfactory pub
lie service , must concede this.
But now comes a great opponent to
overthrow the results of this generally
admitted and justly founded claim.
Ho issues circulars and pamphlets say
ing : "I am the great arbiter of hu
man rights ; behold my opinions on
railroads , intor-stato commerce , bank
ing , science and thu liiblo , expatria
tion , civil rights , etc. , etc. , etc. I
have boon out of public services for n
dozen years , still I know moro about
Iowa's affairs in u minute- than this
man Gear docs in n year , and the people
ple will find put that I do ; I have not
boon out of one thing , though I have
not boon out of politics ; I have
boon a managing convention man over
ninco I quit being congressman ; 1 have
amssed half a million as a railroad
lawyer nnd n national banker ; now 1
am opposed to the very root and prin
ciple upon which the aailroads are
founded viz : complete management ,
of their own financial affairs ; thus ani
1 , and the pretender Gear must bo
brushed out of the way by Iowa re
publicans. " This the spirit of the
campaign which Wilson and his friends
have boon conducting against Gov.
John II. Gear.
As n candidate for senator , Mr.
Gear's campaign is rested on no such
manufactured claim for recognition ;
no such towering heap of erudition is
to bo employed to squelch his oppon
ent. On the contrary , ho bases his
claims solely upon his record as an
ofliciont and competent servant of the
people , nnd upon his sterling hono-sty
and fearless integrity. If uny fault
could bo found with the character or
quality of his public service ho would
not ask promotion. If he no longer
merited the full confidence of the
nooplo ho would resign from the place
hu has. Governor Gear docs not ask
official promotion upon the dubious
claim of ten-year-old political notori
ety not of the best quality. Will the
people of Iowa pick up and prefer the
musty claims that have to "bo fresh
ened in their minds to the fresh nnd
well earned distinctions of the best
servant they have over had ? We shall
see.
