Hie campaign plan of the corpora'
lion managers is beginning to develop
They know the people opposed to the
rule of monopolies are largely in the
majority in Nobmkaj hence they
propone lo overcome the people by
dividing them. 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

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

benefit of his route if it is the shortest [

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
