DIVISION of property as well as di-
vUiou of labor tends to the general
proipority. This is showing itself very
clearly in the south where the old
plantations with their thousando of
acres uro giving place to email and
well cultivated farms. Georgia has
increased the number of her farms
within the last ten years by ninety-
oi ht per cent. , and now contains over
1ZJJ.OOO of agricultural holdings. The
flame process is noted in a less degree
in Virginia and Alabama the result in
cucli case being hotter cultivation und
larger crop. Western farmers learned
long ago that one hundred acres well
cultivated was better than two huti-
with half crop ; ,
NARROW 1HE ISSUES.
There is nothing hich the railro
ttrikors fear so much as a ciinpal
fought equally on the nnti-monopr
isMie , biciueo thcro is no ground '
which they can battle to so little a
vantaqe as the ground of the s
promacy of the people over the cc
porations which they have crente
Every railroad political manager ni
editorial organ grinder knows thattl
rank and file of Nebraska voters
both parties are largely nnti-monopol
Every corporation attorney knot
from experience that a politic
candidate with monopoly conne
tions will bo heavily handicappc
in the coining campaign just as soon i
the attention of voters is directed t
his record. And every ofllcial or en
ployo of the railroads whoso intcret
demands the continuance of the proi
out disgraceful monopoly rule in th
state dreads above all things the corr
biimlion of Nebraska producer on
iquaro out and out anti-monopol
) latform ,
This is the reason why the monop
ily attorneys and political wire puller
, ro attempting to divert attention ti
ido issues such as prohibition an <
roman suffrage. It is an affcctiiij
ight to see the sudden intercs
rhich red nosed lawyers and notorioui
rife abuaors are taking in thcso tw <
ubjocts. The milk in the cocoanul
i too plain to bo concealed by lout
louthod professions of devotion tc
nch tide shows which are of far Icsi
lomonh than the main issuo.
"Shall corporations rule Nobraakt
nd roprcaont her citizens through
loir attorneys on the floor of con
ross and in the state governments ? '
hia Is the issue which is presented
> the voters of both parties in the
jrning campaign. It is an issue
hofto determination will affect over }
tizon of the state , of whatever pro-
Bsion or calling. It will affect first
: all our great producing class , who
: o the bono und sinew of a great ag-
cultural stixto and whoso labor in
, xed to oxortiou in order to
ly dividendo on the extravagantly
utorod otock ot railroads built by the
aoplo of this country. It will effect
ifi ry merchant whoso profits on goods
: o decreased arbitrarily by the heavy
iriff imposed on the transportation of
is stock in trado. Finally the dotor-
lination of the great issue will effect
rory consumorand buyer whcao dollar
diminished in purchasing power just
i proportion as the necessaries of life
o increased in cost by liifh tariffs.
The people of Nebraska must insist
i confining the campaign to the sin-
0 issue of self-preservation. The in-
igrity of our courts , the honesty
' our law makers , the value of our
unicipnl governments as cxpononta
1 the popular will are in sorioua dan-
ir.
The question whether thU.is a gov-
rnmont of the corporations , by the

in only bo settled nt the pulls. And
can only bo settled definitely and
rmlly whun the people of the conn-
y arouse themselves thoroughly to
10 importance of the issue which is
resented for their dociriion.

ISSOf ,
THEHE are to bo no moro boxing
lows in Now York. The police
miniiesionors of Now York have do-
dud that there shall bo no moio
love fights there under police pro *
iction. A glove fight , such as the
nlllvaii-Wilson contest , is by no
leans as a six-day walking match ,
Ivory workday evening thousands on
lousands of poorly paid , over-
orkod , half-fed shop girls drag
lomselvos wearily along Now York
troels to their homos a ad no thought
i given them. Yet any one of thorn
i a hundred times moro properly an
bject for pity and commiseration
imn is the defeated puguliot in a
3ft glove fight. When Wilson and
ullivan mot not a drop of blood wa
rawn and not a bruise was sue-
lined by cither. The men wore
cry tired at the end of the fourth
jund , but not any moro so than
hundred thousand worklngmon in
furnaces end harvest fields were
the same day. It is not from a
sympathy for the men who stand
and pummel each ether with r
lowed hands that this style of exl
bition should bo stopped. They h
it. The real question is as to t
effect of euch performances on t
public morals. If bad , thcro shot ;
bo an end of them. The fact that
fight of any kind receives police pr
tcction when the object is to sh <
which of two men is the better brti
can hardly bo other than deinoa.il
ing. A refined public sentiment w
not tolerate auch a prostitution

nrneioncra have done wisely in dec !
ing as they havo.

hey could bo mothers to beings BC

ay so and the law treats it so ,
Aa fur ua going to war is concerned
vh'ii that time eoinea you will find ai
