tr x. i * Ttlti OMAHA DAILY BEE THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 15 , 188 ! VAN wvcK's VIEWS. Continued from secon If lumber is becoming scarce ruul ex pensive , the greater reason why it should bo allowed free. Can you imagine - agino why n tax of so much per thou- cand feet should bo imposed to fill pockets already ovorlluwint ; . Thus you will see that nil spocinl nnd favor ed interests nro imposing taxation directly or indirectly. The great moss of the people are continually made horrors of wood nnd drawers of water for the few. Eich of those interest * tpccially protected nre ro.idy to unite for common defense. When the nt- tempt shall be made to remove the tax on lumber -wood-pulp , iron , every monopoly that the nation hat protected through infancy to full grown manhood will unite to prevent any relief. There is no reason why agricultural industry and labor gener ally should bo forever taxed to make more wealthy nnd powerful class in terests which the people have already made strong by special legislation so that now they souk to dominate and control the policy of the government. Lately has appeared a new combina tion in the body politic in the Oliico Holders' Protective Union under the puiso of civil service roforin , the ob- joo1. being to ins tro lifo positions un- der government. This new dispensa tion is proclaimed principally by these in ollicu reinforced by occasional out siders , some b.mkors who much prefer all matters should run in the rut they have established , importers who know their men in thu custom houses , con tractors , star route nnd others , who , tea a certain extent , own and rjntrol the bureaus with which they come in contact - - tact , others who always for obvious reasons want to bo "lutalono. " J3ut whore is the evidence that the people undone or desire this political jug- glory. Constitutions of all the states provide short terms of oliico and some carefully guard the principle in the case of certain offices , notably treas- k , urer and sheriff , whore the ofllcor might exercise great influence by the manipulation of hia office , for his ro-oloctian by providing that ho shall not bo eligible to re-election or n term should intervene between his holding. The people have em phatically decided , no matter how strong in their confidence and love j no man shall be elected a third term to the presidency. The dogma of those latter day political saints is the pharnsaical assumption that no ono except themselves and family and friends are worthy and competent to I hold oflices and that the present system of oliico holding is de moralising and disgraceful. Why then do they not themselves retire to private life. They are al ways moro patriotic than Artomus Ward , who sent hi * wife's relatives to the war. These men are willing to sacrifice their blood relatives , even childi on , by seeking and holding'of ficial positions. They are clam orous that the government should bo administered on business principles. Precisely : that is just what wo want and what wo do not get at the hands of the reformers. What business in this or any country , oven England , which is the beau ideal of a government , for those "holier than thou patriots" selects its officers , agents and employes after com- petetive examination. The govern- Vment is not sult'erimr to-day from / want of business capacity. Now and then it takes detriment from want of honesty. It might bo less objection able if it would commence higliur up ; there would bo the merit of consis- tancy. If a clerk receiving $1,200 per annum can only enter alter a se vere examination , it would seem moro important that the one drawing § 2,000 Xshould also , yet that is not required They leave the higher positions nsjo- wards for political and partisan service , yet the inferior jilaces must bo filled by men of actual , business capacity and education lilting them for profoa- sorships in c'ullego. Certainly ! Have business ( nullifications , but have thorn where most needed. Tlio idea of a committee of school ni'stera , or meaner still , these not knowing as much as school masters , who , after long study , Iramo series of questions having no connection with tlio oflico to bo filled the length of longest rivers , height of mountains , capitals of foreign countries , about squares , cubes and fractions , question * tlio examiners aminors could not answer , except as they had studied the questions with the view of peii-loxing moil with pos sibly moro business qualifications and habits than themselves. Ono state ment will explain. A person seeking a clerkship in tno interior department was asked the distance of the sun from the earth at the 'nearest point. lie replied : uftor leaving school ho could have answered , at present ho could not , "although ho could assure them it would probably not come near enough to interfere with the discharge of his duties as clerk in the interior department. So ho was correct un less some Indian tribes inhabited tlio sun , and then the chances wore that the department would somehow mini- ago to pub the redskins on his track \JJth the most improved rillo and a flank of whiuky. Lot reform commence at the top. Usivo men in charge of departments nnd bureaus who have moro business qualifications thtin their employes ; who will know whether the clerks nro competent and the business properly orly conducted. Tf tlio people really dcsiro a change in the policy of the administration , let the unseemly and sometime ? diagrncetul scramble for oliico stop with the great states men of the nation and no more chenios and devices to pack primaries rios , county and state conventions , no more mobs and claqnors at national conventions. Hut if the head of the government must be changed then ton ollico hunting for cabinet posi tions. That is as disgraceful an i scramble for clerkships. Seven times seven candidates for each of the BOVCI positions. Petitions , delegations , com mitteos. , inundated the presidentelect. General Garfield was evidently more annoyed in the selection of hia cabinet' than by the application of compara /lively few for the remaining 100,000 positions. It would bo interesting to know which one of the present uabi not could inform the people how far distant was the sun from the earth af the nearest point , It the gontlomou now filling cabin o positions nro vwalous civil service re formers , why did they neb nt m earlier and more opportune moment withdraw their friends from raids on the president for the scats they now fill ? Why should they struggle for positions and not grant that high boone : o the humblest citir.cn. The cabinet ministers say they are worried ; why jiott The president was worried by , ho importunities of their friends , 1'hu occasion of their worry is princi pally because they onlor upon their ) IHcj ignorant of the duties , probably more so than the man who is seeking \ clerkship , and ninny months of ) crploxing and arduous labor is re quired to learn the rudiments and rules of their department , the irincpal part of which they must learn 'rom the clerks under them , and for nany months boinstructedanddirctcd jy the employes. Will the reformers nako a note of this ? Doubtless while his perplexes , the application for po- jilion isthe last feather , for every mole lill seems like a mountain to a weary nan. It will bo an unfortunate dny o tlio republic when the citizen shall cease to bo a politician or inditl'erent as to who shall souk or servo in oliico. It will bo best for the people to retain , ho power they possess. No privi- eged few should bo allowed to inako ilnco aoekiiiK or interfering in politics iisL'iisting. The basest tyrannical jovorning power always has been an aristocracy. Venice lost the republic ami the rmhl of centuries when the leoplo were cajoled , and delegated to ! he grand council of100 the right of voting 'for magistrates. Wo ye continually reminded of what En- { land does. Wo wore not nwnia there was much in the English iov- eminent for a republic to copy , although wo are aware there was a certain class in the country would iko to extend the copy and establish a nonarchy. The liberal and liberty oving Englishman will always find a warm place in the American heart , ) Ut tlio governing class cannot make nodels for us. This country will send 10 Yankee clocks run by dynamite to coop time , or end time oven for her aristocracy. Wo remember in our larkest days , when the lifo of this lation was trembling in the balance ho aid and sympathy England's Lords extended our foes. Wo remember icr aristocracy not only allowed , but advanced money to build blockade runners. And wo must bo allowed at east to render sympathy for these of icr people or under her yoke who fool > ppres3il. ! Wo rejoice that one of ho evidences that America has not ivcd in vain , the moral effect of our sxamplo and the kindly offices of our ympathy have produced good fruit when parliament felt compelled to do lartial justice to Ireland , o give a ray of hope to her toiling nasscs. To recognize the right of ) oasantry , to know they have some in- crest in the soil by allowing them vlmt common justice would grant 3ven to tenants on lands which did lot contain the graves of their fathers ind hud not boon ruthlessly taken , way from their ancestors. How unfortunate that our reform- rs did not utilise their business no- ions in that branch of the govor.i- nent whore some benefits might ro- ult. Then thousands might not have joen wasted on machinery to make ugar from corn stalks , and thousands nore in the efforts to grow tea whore ea could not possibly grow. No part of the government brings so great re- urns for the money expended as the > oital service and the men employed n the railroad branch , toiling by night and day , when disabled or dlled in the line of duty are as de serving of pensions as soldiers on the ield of battle. Yet many of he most meritorious -by reason of the insufficiency of the appropriation by congress lias been reduced m salary. Millions for star routes , sums sufficiently largo to . Uvide , yet only hundred } for men in railway mail service. The late Poat- naster General Key evidently needed some business qualification and a vast deal more honesty in his department. The Ii.dian bureau is another fine ield for gleaning , a splendid opening 'or a new infusion of business tact. _ All the statesmen and all administro- ions have grappled with the problem and the ' Indian or the Indian , tgent and trader have unhorsed them all. All experiments hero have boon expensive failures. The last placing thorn under control of the religious societies made no improvement. Sen timent , fiction , poetry gush , if you ' please , will notsubdue the wild Indian. Vn excuse is made for his outbreak Because ho has been wronged or rob- . jod. Every reading person in Ameri ca is cognizant of that fact. [ ) o they not know , does.nottho depart- nent know , that nearly every man who is willing to leave a homo of contort ort in the eastern or middle states to Hint up and by the aid of civil scrv- co reform , secure an agency or trader- ship , or contract , does it not for the iieagro salary , but in some way to ilcli from the Indian , to plunder him of his annuities , and defraud him of his oods. Even though the church sends him , -few men go in the name of the Lord The appointing power so dearly prized by all presidents is surrendered not to the delegation in congress , who would at least desire to servo their state by appointing the most compe tent men to prevent collisions , and the destruction of property , and the nmssacre of innocent women and children , but the power is surren dered to the control of the irrespon sible fiecrotiirie.s of the dilforont soci eties located in the c.iit , and they rec ommend , and the Indian commission a with becoming modesty approves. The c cabinet minister nods consent and the ' president appoints. Tlio character < f those appointments luivo done no credit either to the department or to p the cliurch. There has buon.tho same b inefficiency , the same robbery. The ti only men who soiim to bo ignorant of these facts , are the department ! and the government. They squander millions without any apparent care or concern and seem not to imagine - agino any danger until the skies are aglow with burning buildings and the air filled with piercing shrieks of mur dered Bottlers and soldier * massacred. Why will not the nation demand a halt in this villainous and bloody system ? For every burning building every murdered man , woman , and child is bui the result of a policy which every c administration refuses to let go t for no other reason than the patronage enjoyed and the profit * v to friends. Oanby and his comrades c at the Lava Hods , Ouster and his r command ; now , part of Oarr's comJ maud , Will not this auflico ? The tears of the tender philanthropist will How for the poor Indian : will the shine eyes weep for the pioneer and his family escaping from the flames of hi dwelling only to bo brutally murdered or tortured by the malignant demons. AH this rests with your government or rather with the people. Undoubted ly the Indian bureau , the interior de pnrtinent , the administration , could find honest , judicious , faithful men to fill the positions , but that never has boon done and never will bo. This system has been tried with nothing but failure , in millions of money squandered and rivers of blood. Wo invite settlers to the frontier and leave thorn to the merciless cruelty of the savage. Wo plant n little band of bravo soldiers on the out-post , and then arm the most murderous of the tribes witlibettorriflostlianthosoldiors command < and leave them to bo mas sacred. Have wo not had full enough ? How much moro destruction nnd mur der before the people will demand that this matter bo placed in charge of the war department , saving the salaries of the vast army of ngenta and employes , but bettor stilj , mit it in charge of men whoso experi ence will guide and whoso character will bo a guaranty of fair treatment to the led man. Lot us pause a moment with a more pleasing theme , and prepare to usk of thn government to do a sub stantial blessing for the masses in which nearly ttio-luvlf the territory uid population of the nation are deeply interested ; that is to improve their own property , the great water cruises ; some of the grandest rivers gn the continent rivers draining empires in extent , in grandeur , in wealth of production. 3ivo n small proportion of amounts lortoforo expended on rivers having ittle water and no commerce ; give a .itlio of what has been bestowed on other improvements , mid wo will open nnd mnko permanent these high ways to the sea. Wo have' been talking for years of danger from monopo- ios , yet to-day they are strongly en- ironched , substantially controlling congress and many of the state legis- atures. They do it through you , through the people , mid the men whom you elect. You have the lower , they the money and skill. L'hey secure the best legal talent of ho country at the bar , and too often on the bench. Sec the many cbntcsts wtween railroad land grants and ho people. Generally the citizen is beaten. Will they claim hat the law is on their side ? Nut always. Take a case in our own state in Thayer and other southern counties , vhore many had entered and pur chased lands , obtained patents from government , spending in improve- nents their last dollar and labor of ' Jiemsolvcs and families , and paying , hc taxes ; then comes a representative of the Denver and St. Joe claiming ; ho lands. The department decides against him , the humble owners still nako improvements sustained by mtents and decisions of department. The representative of the railroad jides his time , confident that in the courts ho has a firm friend and waits mtil the claim is nearly outlawed , then by a species of jugglery well-known to these who can utilize the courts , by a robbery , worse than any English andlord would dare perpetrate , seeks ; o wrest the title from these who had ; ho b'est posaiblo title , n government intent , lands improved and taxes paid : or , ten years. And they find a court ready to obey the infamous do- nands , and by a most outrageous deci sion order the land to the robber chief. Hud this villainy boon attempted in [ reland , a wild cry would have rung : hroughout the land. But the end of .hat crime is not yet , and wo trust a lower may bo found to keep thoi ipoilcr from his prey. i The remedy for this nnd other evils of administration ia with : ho pooplo. They may not always irovcnt abuses , but they can lorm check and utterly destroy the mtliors of them. They must have a. [ i-eator knowledge , and take L deeper interest in % pol- ; cs from the ward and precinct caucuses to the election of president , i'wo parties are organized and cstab- isliod on well defined principles. Sen- imont is very well to hold men to a political platform , yet while struggling 'or the sentiment bo careful that the organization does not drift under the control of men who prefer sclf- .nterest and dollars to sentiment or oven patriotism. Lot the people s.too ) eng enough , not to change parties , . nut to change leaders occasionally. Tho''pjoplo generally content them selves by making an effort to reach the polla ono day in the year nnd if liis party is successful , that seems fjlory enough for him until the next annual election. 13o n politician every day in the year , not to the neglect of your business , but the best way to secure it. Remember there is moro in politics than moro oliico hold ing the policy , of the government en and prosperity of the nation depends of upon it. 'Road , think , and above all things , act. Act in unison. Do tin tlio suhomorn and manipulators do. IIiirimmiKo dilFerences , unite for self- protection , attend the primary and every caucus , then thu county mid atnto conventions. You have the power , exercise it. Nominate good men , nnd then elect them. Urcak tlio slate now and then. You are an tagonized by the slmrpestand brainiest men in the land. They make politics study , do nothing else ; they can run caucuses ; , conventions and legis latures , nnd the people are like clay in their hands. They will toll you in n patronizing manner that the people are well enough in their way , but they don't really understand poli tics nny more than they do finance and transportation , and you will have no trouble in finding ngreoablo , edu cated gonilomon in the largo cities who are willing to take your proxies and attend to your political duties. Remember that you have hero moro important duties to discharge than ploughing , planting and reaping. Elect men to the logmlaturo who will not bo bribed by adverse intercnto , or cajoled by the blandishments of a A state capital. As wo stand to-day in thu greatest city of Nebraska nnd what is destined to bo in wealth , education and refine- miiiit the largest city in the west , whose growth and wealth , like that of the ntato , seems to incrensu with n magic more wonderful than that o | Aladdin's lamp. Wo dare not pre dict the possibilities f the future , If : wo nro true to ourselves and juit to t nil wo will continue lo uo us o nro now , the peer of nny in the grand sistei hood of states. " Not only our great dou'l opmcnt in production and popula tion , but the death roll of some of the early and prominent citiioiifl : is beniing testimony Ihftt the days of our infancy as a state has passed. Rogers , a distinguished citizen | Dodge county , Knlcy , one of the ablest from the Republican Valley , Schick , nn honored representative from Nemnhn , another who held the highest position the people of this slate could confer , Phineas Wt Hitch cock , who had seen Iho common wealth from its infancy growing to manhood out stripping in population and wealth , many of the original thirteen , since Inst wo met have lain down the burden of lifo. Wo had given to the world the last few weeks the most wonderful exhibition that ever illustrated its history. No people in ancient or modern times , no form of government furnishes a parallel. A president duly elected to o.xeculo the laws for fiO- , 000,000 freemen is stricken down b\ a cowardly assassin. Save fho iniir- uVrous wretch scarce anothorTnnu ocean ft ) ocean , from the lakes to the gulf , who does not reprobate tlu > crime. Scarce a knee that has not bowed and a heart that has not fer vently gone forth in open or secret prayer for the dying president. Scaiee un eye that lias not during the touching - ing and pathetic incident dropped the silent tear. Hoforo the mighty calam . ity nt the bedside of the patient suf ferer party strife nnd personal hatred have been stilled nnd banished. No anxiety more earnest , no grief moro sincere than spontaneously came from the democratic party , ngninst which ho had so long battled , and the generous sympathy like tea a personal sorrow which came from every southern homo and lieart with whom he had contended on the field of battle , has accomplished moro in reuniting the sections than nil < ho reconstruction acts of Congress. Kings and monarchs of Eurono by the side of their subjects and serfs , have uncovered and stood in spirit and sym pathy around the couch. , Another ? rand spectacle , a people administer- ing'their own government without a rutcr , without a president. Nopower Ji the government can give an execu tive order , nil the cabinet combined cannot , while the hand of the chief magistrate is pdwcrless , oven to sign lis name to nny decree , yet wo can say as did Gariield on an equally sol emn occasion , "God reigns and the wovornment at Washington still lives.
