This i what Iho people of Nobrask
ml the producers of the wcwt propos
.o . find out. Why , with railroads BO
lly constructed and inngiiiflcontl
( ( nipped at the public expense , ei
owed with princely gifts of lam
rom the people and heavy aubaidic
nun the governments ohould not tli
liippors of this country enjoy chcn
importation ? Can Dr. Millei
whoso paper lives by the grace and fi
or of Union Pacific job-worlc , infori

heap transportation as well i
ho east , whoso railroads were bui
vith private capital and which at rati
OCH than half of Ihoso charged 1 :
vcstern monopolicn have aromed the
mtrons to a demand for goyornmei
restrietion of Iheir extortions and di
criminations against ( shippers.
One reason why Nebraska has 111
iid cheap tr.insporlation on its rai
roadn is because the people of tli
state have not tuk"ii advantage of tl
remedy which the constitution h
iliiced in their hands. For six yen
ifter thu ratification of an in&trumo
vhich gave them the power to rcgula
the monopolies they neglected
apply its provisions to the abuses
corporations within the atato. Eve
election , loc.il or general , was cr
ruptod by monopoly interforonc
every convention was packed wi
corporation henchmen , and every Ic
inlature wai inlluenced by the tin on
and bribes of Iho railroad manngoi
: \t the last session of the Icgislatu
the first Htui > was taken , through tl
Doaue law , towards aocuring chisi
nJ fair transportation for all ahippe
in Nebraska. The passage
the Donnu law was the lii
indication on thu part of t
producers of this utiito that they we
determined to secure for Nobroa
what Illinois and Wisconsin had pi
viously accomplished. That law , v
acted notwitliHtnnding the combin
opposition of thu monopolies , utan
to-day as an earnest of future ai
more thorough legislation on thutrai
portr.tinn question. Whutovor dofoi
iheru may bo in its operation must
remedied by the next legislate
which will bo still more iiu
pendent of monopoly cent
than the last. The producers
Nebraska uro determined
discover why they cannot have die
traniportation , and they propose
bring every means within th
power to thu solution of a question
vital to their interests. In the me :
time , if the br.ns collared editor
the lltrahl knows of any reason ,
him speak it out or forever hold 1
peace.
THEIIB nocina to bo very ntu
grounds why the Hnwuiianreciproc
treaty should bo abolished by congrct
as FIIOJI as poosiblo. Tlio prcts o
the Pacific const have very clearl
shown thai this treaty has been tli
means of enriching only a few pluntei
in the Handv/icU islands nml a eugr
pool in San Fiancieco , while it h :
cost the government over a million <
dollars a year in customs. It
claimed that the refiners have agree
to pay , and do annually pay , to tli
Pacific railroad ( built with the publi
money ) a subsidy of $100,000 to kcc
om'orn ' sugars out of their market
That the nndutiablo sugars of tl
Sandwich islands arc sold in Ka
Francisco at eastern prices with tli
enormous freights of $2 pur 1C
pounds addud. That by a secret undo :
standing between the ciste.in an
wcfltern pools , and the payment <
largo additional minis to the railroad ,
no competition is permitted to tak
place between Hawaiian sugars at
mittod free and Mioso brought in i
full rates in thu eastern ports. Tli
treaty ia a boon only to the rcfinen
who have made immciiHo fortunes I
means of it ; but it has not dimtniahu
the eost of sugar to consumers an ;
whcro in the United States. It
found also that the plantations in tli
Sandwich islands are cultivated li
aorvilo labor , or nomothing nearl
akin to it under the contract nystcn
The Chicago Tribune Bays : "Wit
the exception of the Ueasomor stci
mill pool , the United Slates has novc
known a greater monopoly Ihan the
which has boon organised by the suga
ring. It may be doubted whelhc
any civili/.nd nation since the time c

Boars in tlio Cntalillls.
KINGSTON , N. V. , Nov. 21. Mai
bears have boon captured recently
thu Southern Calskills , and Ibis pc
tion of thu mountains seem to be fief
of them this fall. They neein to bo u
usually bold. A few days ago a ti
lar o black boar was found in thelm
pen of Jacob Lomiu , living near Tin-
wood , a little village in Iho wild lov
of Ilurdenberg , Ulster County. 1
proved to bo an ugly customer , to
and there waa a lively light before !
was caught. Washington Gesso ,
member of the notediosso liear-lim
ing family , succeeded in capturing fo
fine boars a few duyn ago , nearly
ono titnu , not far from his homo
Bhandakcn. lie sold the pelts at
good round price , and the meat hod
tribulcd among his neighbors. Fo
bears are usually counted a lair et
son's work for ono hunter , as t
nkins are valuable , and the c.\rcu
finds a roidy market.
The most desperate encounter wi
Bruin that occurred in this region f
many a year took place in thu Sha
daken Mountains on Monday of hi
week. Washington .lux of Shnndako
after a lonv , weary tramp , made t
more disheartening by thu lack of ai
appearance of game , was about to i
trace his steps homeward , llosuddc
ly hoard a rushing of twigs and undc
brush. Ho was now far away fro
any settlement. Peering through t
forest ho soon saw a half-grown blu
bear , which in a few moments mo
was joined by three others fine , aha
gy cubs. They had all emerged fro
a dense thicket into a partial bit
clearing on another border of whi
the hunter was concealed. Althoui
a long distance away , ho leveled 1
gun and fired. One of the cubs f
dead. A moment after , with the oth
chamber of his gun , he brought do\
another boar , llo then attempted
reload his piece , but the other c
r\ged animals having by this time d
covered his hiding-placu , now poiinc
upon the luuter. The struggle th
ensued is described by the hunter
moat terrific indeed. Ono of the HI
mula tried to chow up the hunto
left shoulder , mangling it badly , u
while thia was going on , ho in a nag
to plant his bowie in a vital spot in t
other's breast. The blood spurt
over him , but the aiiima' ' flunk at 1
feet. The remaining bear , bowovc
gave him a haul tussle , but ho final
conquered him nlso. Ho then snya 1
was nearer dead than alive , but inn
aged after awhile to reload his gun ar
bandage his throat as best ho coitli
Ho then started toward homo , buthr
not proceeded far when , with a dca
cuing roar , the enraged mother sprai
acrosH his nath , but ho was now 01
ablr d tn bring the infuriated beast I
the ground by a heavy charge of bucl
shot , llo finished the work of deal
with the other barrel of his quit , nil
then returned homo in triumph f (
aid in bringing his game to the aotlli
moiil.
