NEIUIASKA democrats are taking the cue from tholr party in Ohio , where a straight prohibition ticket is to bo run , which the democracy hope will secure 8,000 votes usually cast for republican candidates.

The prosecution of the star route thieves is over and the dUgracofulnpoctncloof an officer of the United States dodging around the country in order to escape tolling what ho knows of bribery and theft is no longer necessary in the interests of S.

UNDEU the provisions of the na > tional banking law passed by the last congress , the secretary of the treasury wan directed to receive deposits of gold coin in sums of not loss than $20 , and { .to issue certificates therefor. Sorao $160,000,000 in gold certificates are now being printed and will shortly bo issued from fho treasury. The sue- , cess of the silver certificates , which enabled individuals and banks to got of a largo amount of bulky coin and replace it with , paper worth its face value and secured by a coin deposit of an equal amount , was responsible for these now editions to the national cur rency. The tendonoy of gold is to accumulate in the bank vaults. The assistant treasurer at Now York cstt- -mates tlmt the associated banks in that city already .hold BO mo sixty mil lions in gold coin'and they are nil eager to exchange a largo portion of the amount for the now certificates. A paper currency possesses many ad vantages for practical use 'over a me tallic currency if its value is assured by a deposit of Hint which has an in trinsic vuluo- And this is juit what io done in the ca n of both the silver and gold certificates. A WASHINGTON dispatch says that the "bureau of navigation has designed - signed n now flair , to bo horeattor known in the navy as the 'President's flag. ' It is fourteen foot long by cloven foot broad , the material of navy blue bunting. In the centra is the American coat-of-arma , thu eagle holding in its mouth the pennant on which is inscribed "E Pluribus Ununi , " nnd perched on a shield , grappling in one claw a bunch of nr- rpws and in the other a bunch of onk leaves , Above the cpopfarms , ar ranged in a semicircle , are thirteen white stars , representing the thirteen original states. Ono of these flags will bo placed on board of each United States vessel , and whenever the presi dent goes aboard ouo of these vessels the president's flag will fly from the main must. " And what does the United States need of n royal ensign to fly fromjtho inizzon mast of his ships irhonovor the chief executive of the nation happens to bo on board. The idea is un-American nnd borrowed , like a great deal of other snobbishnota which is creeping into the Washington bureau , from monnfchial institutions. OATTLK men have the bust of roa- eons ] for congratulation ever their V present season's business ' , and it is not at nil astonishing'that the oostoru press are publishing dazzling accounts of ranches and ranchmen , In the light of twenty-five cents a pound for beef and the enormous profits reported by imaginative correspondents. Many of courao of the letters written "from the ranges" and printed by railroad advertising bureaus are highly exag gerated , but the most reliable sources of information all agree that the cat tle growing interests of Nebraska and Wyoming have never had u'botfer sea- eon than the ono which is now draw ing to a close. A mild winter brought cattle out fat on the ranges in the upring with little loss , and high prices added greatly to the ordinarily high profits of the ranchmen , Wyoming nlono expects to ship 400,000 cattlu this season , employing 20,000 , railroad cars to transport the freight. How important an element in railroad oper ation the cittlo trade is , may bo scon from the statement that ever $3,000- 000 in freight will bo paid this yiur by Nebraska and Wyoming etockmen , THE ANTI-MONOPOfcV CALI The executive committees of th Farmers' Alliance nnd Anti'tnonopol. league have issued a call for nn nnti monopoly Btato convention to be hoi at Hustings on tho27th of September The call contemplates the nominatio of nn miti-monnpoly state ticket Urn will command the nupport not only o members of the Alliance but of mot chants , mechanics , laborers nnd pro fcssional men who desire to rodcon the ntato from the domination ot corporate porato monopolies. The avowed ain of the Farmers' Alliance , an oxprceac < in the recent nddresn of its officers hna been to maintain n non.pnrtizAi position. They urged mombora of th Alliance to take nn active part in th primary elections nnd nominating con ventions of their respective parties , t secure the endorsement of their principles ciplos and nomination of candidate free from corporate control. This , w take it , is still their aim , If the ox iatinij parties endorse nnti-monopol. principles in their platformsnndnomi nato men whose past record is in nccorc with these principles their platforn and candidates will bo endorse * and supported by nnti-monopoly mot of every party , class nnd ( station. I the republican party becomes the exponent ponont nnd champion of corporate monopoly and nominates candidate that have nothing in common with tin producing and industrial classes , UK party will run the risk of general dis organization defeat. The call for the anti-monopoly staU convention ua wo understand it , is t measure of precaution , The demo erotic state convention will bo hold 01 : ho 14th , the republican convontior on the 20th , and the last republics congressional convention on the 27tl of Soptombor. The machinery of botl > &rties Is notoriously in the hands o ho railway monopolies nnd the ovi- lent purpose of the political managers of the railroads lias been to delay the conventions and give the people no imo for organized opposition. In view of this state of facts the officers of the alliance have boon forced to take decisive action. In thin action they simply live up to the pledges exacted from them by the state alliance , which expressly in- structcd them to call n utato nominat ing convention in case of emergency. In publishing the call for nn inde pendent anti-mcnopoly state conven tion , TUB BKK has by no means nban- doned its republican principled or committed itself to a now political faith. Now , na o\er , THE BEK de sires republican supremacy in national and state affairs , nnd in the future , as in the past , wo shnll udvccato meas ures that do not clash with true re publican principles and support candi dates selected by the untrammeled and unbought voice of the republican party , In the future , na in the past , wo shall endeavor to purge the party of misrule nnd corruption Irom within , but when nil efforts within Lho party fail , THE BKK will socriflco partisanship on thonltnrof patriotlimi. Wo atill have abiding faith in the iionesty and patriotism of the ropub licnn masses , and wo fitill urge the republican farmers , mechanics and business men who desire to omnncl- nato the party from corporate lamination to take an nclive part in the primary elections and conven tions. Lot every republican discharge this iluty to the party and the state , and if nil our efforts are thwarted by the corrupt machinations and criminal meddling of railroad corporations , let the responsibility for the consequences bo theirs. Our main object , nnd the main object of every good citizen , bn ho republican or democrat , must bo to secure good government , [ f the existing parties , nnd especially the republican party , with its largo mujority'nominatu nblo , honest and roliablo.mon the object for which thesv parties were founded , and the purpose for which tno Farmers' Alliance was organized , will bo achieved. If $ ob- bers , corruptioniats and oorporaCfon tools are nominated Rood government will bo jeopardised. Were the people who di'airo honeat government all united there would bo no danger , but the jobbers , rlngstora and corporation managers always know bow to divide uid distract the people while they are xHicontrating their forces and pooling .heir iasuoa. It is only as a last and desperate re- lort that { .the people of all parties ihould combine on ono platform in a novement to redeem the state , nnd tro hope that the loaders nnd managers if the dominant party will not force iho masses into a revolt that will have , o Bcoli redress through the movement : ontemplated as a last resort in the Jail for an independent anti-monopoly 3onvuntio . NEW YOUK'S men of wealth of late ilnye have not boon very generous in [ jublio bequests. Stewart's will made Few provisions for perpetuating his name in the memories of the poor and needy , Peter Goolot who died worth many millions loft the whole of his immeuao property to his nephew * . Did Commodore Vanderbilt , aside from u few thousunda of dollars de wed to Vuudorbilt university , be- jueuthud liia enormous property to his ions. Moses Taylor , who a few nontha ago died the possessor of loarJy fifty millions , transmitted his 'ortuuo entire to his family. In all these instances charitabl journalists have hinted of the grca benefactions which the heirfl intendcc to bestow , but in every ca o th promises have failed of fulfilment Just at present there are renowet rumors in Now Ytrk that Mr. Vnndcr bilt is about to surpass nil his prodc ccsaor millionaires in a scries of pub lie gifts for the benefit of the cit which haa given him his wealth. II hftB purchased the alto of the Catholi orphan asylum on Fifth nvonuo witi the view of erecting a magnified ) public gallery of pictures , which in t bo splendidly endowed and is t open nt nil times to the public Ton millions of dollars is the nuir which some fervid imagination lin given as the probable cost of thi Hcliemo of the railroad king for im proving public tnsto nnd porpotuatin ; his name through all posterity , It is n serious question whether the roturna on n capital of ton millions o dollars locked up in mnrblo and can vnas will pay na well as some other in vontmont for the benefit of th public. Mr. Vnndorbilt'a toi millions hnvo been wrunj from the hands of toil nnc picked from the pocket of industry Most of it represents lawless interference foronco with the laws of trade , reckless less watering of stock and unrighteous extortions from patrons of the groa system of railways which ho controls An art gallery will do little to counteract toract the evil effects of the method which gained for Mr. Vanderbilt hia great forturo. Educating the public taste is a poor return for picking the public pocket , SOME MORE OF MAN'S TY RANNY. "Equal righto under the American flag to the women of this nation , " is the high sounding declaration of a col lection of indignant women who gath ered on Thursday in Washington , nnd organized the Woman's National La- jor organization. The special in stance of "man's tyranny , " of which hu mooting complained , was the refusal of the chiif clerk of the inte rior department to appoint women to ho clerkships made necessary by the ncroaae of work in the pension department. The reason given for the refusal waa the business and common sense ono , that the applicants woronot jualified to pcrfonn the duties do- uanded by the position. The now clerkahipa rrqniro rapid and accurate accountants , good ponsmcnand parsons of experience nnd judgment. The sala ries are baaed upon the possession of hose qualifications. That the ladies who applied for positions did not > 088CBs them was certainly not the ault of the government. And it is difficult to BOO any "tyranny" in Uio refusal of an employer of labor to fill lis vacant placed with persona who ho knows are incompetent o do the work required .of hum , It is unfortunate tlmt the women who fool tbomaolvoa aggrieved jecauso the government did not fuel taolf justified in placing them on its lonsion rolls cannot take a practical view of the situation. No employers ro more exacting than women. No lousokeepor with n grain of common onso would employ n green nnd in- xporionced girl to do the cooking for family at the same wages demanded nd received by an old an experienced orvant. When the government fixes lie salaries of clerks to perform cor- ain work , heads o'f bureaus have no ight to fill the vacancies with incom petent incumbents. Such action would bo philanthropy and not busi- 1088 , It ia ono of the defects of woman's haractor that the emotional features ro developed too frequently at the xponao of her judgment. Each nnd very ono of the refused applicants at Ynshington no doubt felt personally nsulted because they wore not con- iderod the "equals" of oxporldnced lorka , whoso services wore in do- nand , and instead of looking at the latter in its proper light they at once rganizod an indignation mooting nnd f course denounced the action of Secretaries Teller and Lincoln as an ther outrage against the sex , and an shibition of the "ono man power , " vhich should consign its perpetrators o eternal infamy , Instances like the no under discussion brint ? out very orcibly the certain result of the do- nand made by n few unpractical women that woman and man must be ilacod on the same- plane , with equal hancos for competing for n livelihood. The momon , thu montnl and physical qualify of woman is admitted , that lomont nhe loses ono of her greatest afoguards in the protection which s now accorded her as the wc'akur vessel , Placed on n footing with man in the competition of life , letancoa like that at the interior du- uirtment whore qualifications are the uly test for position , will teach thereat ; roat mistake which aho ia making iu ttompting to unsex herself nt the ox. enae of these characteristics which ro now her chief glory and defense. THE great Diamond Match nion- poly has raised its prices oxtor- onatuly upon every gross of mutches old , One hour after the senate had djourned , without abolishing the match stamp tax , the company was mailing its new price Hats to dealers throughout the country.

Ho certifies thnt for nearly' sixteen years Mrs. Selah nnd her family wcro without visible moans of support. But they ouivived all the same in that starving condition. At Valentino's instance Mra. Solah received n back pension for sixteen years , nt eight dollars a month , over 81,000 , nnd the money , as wo are in- Conned , was invested by ono of the starving sons in an invoice of clothing for his clothing store.

To the Editor ol Tin lUx : Noticing the constant fight made by The Republican on behalf of the rail way monopolies , I desire through your columns to state a few facts from an opposite etand point. 1. No man who claims to bo in- brmod on the railway question and who will not prostitute his manhood , can truthfully any that thcro ia a uni form tariff of" rates or a competitive system among the linen of railroads running out of "New York , or thoao inea tlmt connect with the Now York rutik lines. 2. No well informed man can truth- ully any that there is any competition between the Union Pacific and the B. & M. On the contrary , it is a well- cnownfuct that the lines divide up the let earnings regardless of the tonnage : arriod or the line carrying the sumo. L'his is done between all the lines , and makes the phraao "competition" imply a inisnoinor , a delusive- word yith which they misguide the public mind. y. Instead of having uniform rates of roight they show partiality in all classes of freight and defeat the spirit if the laws of the country. Especially s that the casein Nebraska. In a rno nstnnces Lincoln wholesale merchants rot bettor rates per ton per mile than norchanta in the same line of business u Omaha * By this non-competitive ystom the net earnings of some west- rn lines for the year 1880 and they ire greater for 1881 are enormoua. Phe 0.

It ia the greatest omblnntion of wealth known in ea red or profft.no history. It is one- ighth of the entire assessable prop erty of the fifty million inhabitants of ho United States. It ia three times greater than the value of all the ilaveo of the south of 1801.
