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 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

THE ANTI-MONOPOfcV CALI
The executive committees of th
Farmers' Alliance nnd Anti'tnonopol.
league have issued a call for nn nnti

at Hustings on tho27th of September
The call contemplates the nominatio
of nn miti-monnpoly state ticket Urn

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

free from corporate control. This , w
take it , is still their aim , If the ox

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

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

"Hon. E. 1C Valentino states that to

unable to and na n fact did not main
tain his family nt son's death , nnd haa
not ainco. " The death of Isaac Selah
occurred nt the cloao of the war , in
1804. MM. Selnh nnd family resided
in Illinois and did not come to No-

tifies aa n congressman that to his pur

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

RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLU.
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. B. & Q.'a not earnings per
nile for 1880 were 83,727.00 ; the
Chicago & Alton , $4 899.98 ; the Ohi-
ago & Northwestern5,083.81.
rhcao monopolies combined derive
a uroator revenue annually from their
inea than the receipts of the United
States government. 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. They
mvo been given through abuse of
ipvernmontnt patronage a vast om-
) ire of land , which , if in ono body ,
tould bo ever three hundred and
hirty-fiyo thousand fquaro miles , or
oven timea all Pennsylvania , and
inly six thousand tquuro miles less
him the original thirteen states ,
It is surprising that the men who
ought to preserve the unicn and nbol-
eh slavery nro watching with.auapicion
his abuse of governmental patronage
md the rapid encroachment upon
heir inalienable rights. Can it bo
ireaumcd that'the people are to waiter
or justice from the formal decision of
court , whoso opinions , are bought
rith gold , while the aword of nvurice ia
endy to put an end to their liven ?

This state convention ia the crowning
work of the Alliance this year. If il

elects it , the credit of that nchiovo
mont will belong to the Alliance ,
Failure in nny particular will also ro
ilcct discredit upon it. But lot ut
recognize no such word aa failure
Let every man consider it. hia apecia ;
duty , drat , to secure the nomination
of a good ticket and then secure iti
election.
It is recommended by the state com
mittees th'at independent or alliance
tickota be nominated in every county ,
and that nil anti-monopolists bo cor
dially invited to support them , regard
less of past party nfliUittiona. In
counties whore no county committee
haa * bucn appointed officers cf any
alliance are requested to see to it that
primaries and conventions to aolcct
delegates are hold.
Do not lot attoikflnnco at Hastings
be confined to delegates. Lot nil

attend both the annual nicotine ; nnd
the convention , and inspire and up
hold tlio delegates in their good work.
Delegates to the annual meeting

As there will bo a largo gathering at
Hastings during the daya of our
