They propose to divert attention from the rital issue ot the campaign by forcing to the front aide iesuon that will distract the liP people andjj uivo thc | monopolies an easy victory. Eighteen months ngo , when the legislature was in session , they resorlcd to the same tactics. They gave silent but active support to the woman's suffrage agitators , and tjb brought about n desperate and eicit ing struggle ever prohibition and high license , which was kept up to < the end of the session , and crowded back and shelved railroad legislation. Church Howe , the chief cupper of the Union Pacific , introduced CId duced the prohibition amendment , and Slocumb , a B. & M , attorney , bo catno : the champion of the high li cense ( bill. While thcao two measures were pending , John M. Thurston and wol other railroad politicians kept up their trade and barter with Finch & Co. tiOl on ono aide and the distillers and Olb brewers on the other until it became too late for any railroad legislation. T/io / name programme ia to bo carried out in the present campaign with va riations. Down at Lincoln the rail road strikers are working up a prohi bition boom. Up in Omaha Dr. Miller through the Union Pacific democratic organ is trying to reuse the liquor 01d dealcra , browora and distillers into n counter attack. That cunning and crafty capper of the monopolies , J. ctSi Sterling Morton , was in Omaha not many days back setting the pins for ! the diversion for which prohibition in Iowa has furnished the plausible pre text. Thus the various forces of the railway monopolies are operating in conjunction to force side issues upon | the people , while they are preparing toh capture another lease of power for the next four years. But these cor porate minions are not likely to suc ceed. The people of this stnta will not bo diverted by uido icsuos during the present campaign , They are resolved to deal with the railroad issue now. They propose to take the government of Nebraska out of the hands of the monopolies , and tan charge of it themselves. Tnoy inaiab that the railroads shall no longer bo cxornpt from their share of taxation , They demand discrimina tion and extortion shall bo prohibited by law , and they know that they cannot secure such Inws if they divide on any other issuo. "Whatever their onru individual views may bo on woman's autirago , the liquor traffic or other questions , they do not propose at this time to allow themselves to bo dis tracted from the main iseuo. When th main issue has boon fought out , an the state redeemed from the misrule - rule of imbeciles , jobbers and corpora tion attorneys , it will bo time enough toke grapple with other questions. It will bo safe for every Nebroa- kan who desires to overthrow the domination of the monopolies to fight shy of all side issues.

COP IT is now almost certain that this nil session of congress will last , through th whole month. It has by no tu moans boon n barren session for cor tumi porations and jobbers. Among the tic many measures enacted during this or long session there has on the whole an boon very little law making for the vice pooplo. Nearly every important issue viim been met with studied ovosion or the < creation of a commission , Most Fo the time has boon given to private wl claims and huge jobs , Millions upon sir millions have boon recklessly squan peen dered while the country at largo Is on ground down with taxation and clam inj for epeedy relief , The temper of ob members seems to grow worse obWi with the heat. Mr , liutterworth , of Jay Ohio , in B dispute with Mr. Cox , of ill1 York , managed to roach a depth HH which loaves boi greatness all competi nnd out of sight. And ypt the house , nave instead of expelling him , Accepted a BOI ue'A nuogy'nnd ; it is alleged I that his conduct will not in-J jure him with hia constituents. If this is true , Buttorworth repre sents a constituency that ia princi pally made up from the Blums. It is becoming apparent that the nations constitution must bo amended in many important particulars to relieve congress from much of its work and put a stop to the ( system of jobber ; that is now so prevalent.Vu mus relegate all private claims to tin courts , atop omnibus legislation and empower the president to veto any single item in on appropriation bil which ho deems contrary to the pub lie interest. As it is now nearly nl the appropriation bills are held back until the last days o : the session , and the moat vil lainous jobs are attached to thcsi appropriation bills , The prcsidon has no option. IJo must either ap prove the bill just os it haa passed with all its iniquities or cripple the government by vetoing bills that appropriate propriato money to maintain the army nnd navy or the civil branches of the public service , The result is that the president is compelled to sanction the most gigantic robberies , and there is no remedy until omnibus legislation ia forbidden by constitutional amend ment. EXPEDITING PACIFIC MAILS Congress and the postofQco depart ment uro wrottling with the problem ito of expediting the Pacific mails , Iho problem : is to shorten time between Washington and San Francisco ono day , Now , if this is their honest object , there ia already n route whereby the dc&irod saving of time can bo effected without increasing the COcc cost of mail carriage to the govern ccm ment. The time tables of the trunk lines between Washington and Omaha iibj by the way of Chicago , ao compared with the time table of the line be tween Washington and Omaha by the way of the Ohio & Mississippi and Wabash system , chows a difference of twenty-four houin in favor of the lat tor. In other worcs , without expe diting the speed of any trainer or adding any trains to the existing system of transportation , the Washjngton , Baltimore and Philadelphia phia mails can bo laid down at San Francisco by way of Cincinnati , St. Louis and Omaha in six days , whereas it takes seven days to transport the mails from Washington to San Fran < cisco by the trunk lines that center in Chicago. These who handle the Pacific coast mails , as now transported , ' are well aware that it takes six : hours C longer to deliver these mails at the Missouri river by way of Chicago , than it does to lay thorn down at the same point by the way of Cincinnati and Bt. Louis ever the Wabash. The ] delay of six hours breaks the con nection with the overland mail train and thus detains the mail eighteen hours at the Missouri river , while the other train by the way of the Wabash system makes close connection , and therefore makes a round saving of twenty-four hours. On , the ether hand , the Pacific CO mail going east roaches Omaha at 3:30 : p. m. , lays at the Missouri IIn river ' transfer two hours , roaches Chi I ( cage the next afternoon , and is de 'tJi livered at Washington by no train 8 earlier than after nine p. m. the next night , which is literally after deliverycc hours , and makes is no batter than if roaohod there the following morn- Ing. By the Wabash system the mail he tr from the Missouri river will roach \ Cincinnati in twenty-five hours , and Jc landed at Washington at ono p. m. the following day , which gives ample time for its delivery in the city , and a saving equivalent almost to oigh' teen hours or a business day. It is t matter of fact also that the bulk of the overland mail originates at 'Washington , Philadelphia , Balti < mnro and Cincinnati , and could the postmaster general would designate the proper route be by landed , at San Francisco twenty-four hours sooner that it is now , without expediting any mail , by simply put in ting the postal service on the line between - . in twoon Omaha and St. Louis. But if the object of expediting or * 'star routing" for which such a clamor is made is simply to increase the earn ings , of the trunk lines that run into Chicago , then , of course , the search after a fast mail train is undoubtedly | w legitimate. Wo take H , however , that congress has no such design , and that lai an Postmaster General Howe simply de sires to give the most olHoiont service that can bo had for the leant expendi o ture. In such a schema localities BOth must bo loft entirely out of the ques ago tion. Whether Chicago derives great benefit or whether St. Louis gets adrantago is immaterial , DO the ser the ia performed by the BO most expeditious route for tei ' money already appropriated. 103 83 our part wo cannot comprehend congress should appropriate vast sinus in addition to the present ex Oi penditure , when , by an ordinary ox- , Ni eroiao of business tact with the exist-1 service , the same results can be obtained. While wo know that the Mi Wabash route or system belongs to PJ Gould , and this paper is not inclined ao clined to further Gould a interest , wo willing that Jay Gouldshall have the benefit of his route if it is the shortest [ if by its use the government can e\ money and improve the postal wil service , lie THE "BOSS" FRAUD. I The bill incongress toconsolidato the Pacific roads has startled Uio country. The manner in which it was intro- . duccd , under the disguise and cover of another innocent measure , has ex cited the public suspicion and opened the eyes of the people to the ceaseless ambition of the great railroad kings , Gould , Iluntington & Co , want nl they can get above and below here and want it about 4,000 miles long from Now York to Mexico , taking in the whole country from sea to sea on both sides of anywhere. Just stick a pin on this fact , to-wit the government gives to th Texas Pacific 14,309,700 acres of land such as the Union Pacific sells at six dollars per aero. Now the road through Now Mexico , Arizona nnd California is COS miles long , and , at a big estimate , will cost not more than $20,000 per mile , or 813,760,000. In other words , the govornmon takes the Lnd which belongs to th people , and gives it to these million aires to build a road , and then give them the road and over $72,000,000 for doing the work. In the name o : justice and right , ffhcro will this end Why don't the government build the road itacli and save the $72,000,000 to pay the debt and reduce the taxes , or why does congress not lot the job oul by contract to the best bidder ? Bui to take land that actually does not belong long to it nnd give it to men who are richer than kings already , to furnish them the means to build n rail road and then pay them $72- 000,000 for the work , when those same men would have been glad to build the road for the right of way and other privileges , as an investment of surplus cash which they had no use for , is simply public robbery. If mil lionaires can go into congress and buy $85,000,000 worth of land , besides such a charter , with another little book like Amos , the irrepressible con flict that Carl Schurz predicts in the dim future is much nearer than hoover ever dreamed of.

LIFE INSURANCE ; Citizens of Rod Cloud Pay for Pollcloi but Ilecoivo Nona. UED CLOUD , Nob. , July 19. To the Ktlltor ot The Dee : During the month of March a man giving the name of S. W. Johnson and repreaonting himself aa the agon of the Northwestern & Milwaukee insurance suranco company , put in an an appearance poaranco at Hod Cloud , Nob. lie said that ho was from Lincoln , and had been in the employ of the com pany for seine time. Ho talked lifo insurance to the business men of Bed Cloud , and succeeded in making a few converts. In April ho made another visit to the town and took a number of applications for policies. The policies were to bo delivered within fifteen days. Some of the parties agreeing to take out policies , made the first payment at once , while others gave their notes for the amount , pay able in thirty days from date , that is fifteen days after the time sot for the delivery of the policies. Johnson disposed of as many of these notes as : he was able , selling them to parties in th vicinity. Bo also paid expenses in by him while in the town with these notes , saying that ho had not received any money , and was a little short for the time beine. After completing his work ho loft the town and nothing has been hoard from him since that time. After waiting a roa- u sonublo period for the policies and not receiving any parties interested , wrote to the insurance com pany regarding the matter The company replied that they had ur turned the matter over to Mr. Moffer , the state ngont of Nebraska , and that , is the last that has been heard of it. Parties havu written to Johnson at in Lincoln but have received no reply , As return envelopes were issued it is plain that seine ono received the let ters , as some of them have been re turned. The notes , as many as were sold in the vicinity have been presented sented and paid by the parties giving them , The notes taken away by Johnson have not boon presented. Altogether Johnson must have taken about $150 from the town of Bed Cloud. . From the facts given , ono of two things is certain , either Mr. Johnson 1m ia doing business in a very careless and in unbusinesslike manner , or else he is a fraud of the worst character. If ho bu the authorized agent of an insurance an company lot him como forward and Sa deliver the policies or refund the money paid for them ; or at least let bu him write and explain the the cause of thi ca the delay. He has had two months in which to deliver the policies ho prom ng' ised within 15 days. If Mr. Johnson eti a fraud and swindler a , let the facts bo made public and have detectives at we put on bin track. I take it that THE BEE is not in an favor of keeping such transactions ing quiet and allowing swindlers and con fidonca men to escape only to practice the same thing on other parties , nor should TUB BUB refrain from censur ing agents or companies that do busi tlo ness in such a loose manner and naHI and failed HI to fulfill promises , oven if ia dune in a legitimate manner. fee yo OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS. strm rej COLORADO.
