Van Wyck , U. S. senator , Gen. A. 71. Connor and other able and dis tinguished speakers will address the I'f ' people of Dodge county in support of the republican ticket , and especially of Hon. II. K. Tumor , the republican candidate for congress. A vigorous canvass will bo made by Senator Vn Wyck in the Third dis- .trict on behalf of Mr. Turner during the next cix wooka. The first meeting after the ratification at Fremont will bo held at Blair. Wo shall announce the day in these columns just as soon as arrangements are completed. Y .S , kick him out. Any collector of internal revenue who daroa to raisu hia voica in opposition to the monopoly ely machine has no right to hold ' otlico in a railroad empire. THE Republican gives Turner 1,100 votes. Valentino foil behind nearly 1,100 votes in 1880 when nobody was tunning against him and the Schwonck forgeries and land swindle wasn't discovered then cither. FIIIHT the boss liar of the Jlcpulili- can concoota a tissue of falsehoods about the Fremont conventions and then the Lincoln Journal take * them up exaggerates the lion in repetition , and then the KquiMic'/tt oopioa the whole thing over ngain as an original expression of eontimeiit. hundred building * in Now York are now lighted by the KJiuoii olectria light. All accounts ajirea that tha ( , the illumination Is Ducoeaafal , ao it may ba flnally conceded that Mr. Edison has solved the question ol the divisibility of the clootie light and demonstrated its feasibility for domestic lighting purposes. AUVIOEH from the Third District nr < very encouraging. All along the line republicans who do not wear the braat collar are buckling on their armor foi the fray. Valentino and railroad boas , ism are doomed. The lines are to be closely drawn , Those who are not with us are against us. These who favor Valentino for a third term arc minions of monopoly , whether they protimd to bo regular or irregular. A OAIILEOIUM announces the death of Henry George , third Karl Gray , and late under secretary of the home department. Ho was born Dccombei 28 , 1802 , educated at Cambridge and entered parliament in 1820. Ho wa made under stcrot&ry of the colonies iu 1830 and subsequently was under secretary for the homo department , privy councillor and secretary of war , Ho received the Garter in 18G3. Karl Gnty was ono of the best known of EutjHsh minor statesmen. WE had taken it for granted that the Union IVciOo hospital head tax bid been entirely abandoned , but a letter from North Plalto , from a recent employe would seem to indi cate that we were misinformed. Ac cording to our informant fifty cents is deducted on tholino on the U. P. road from the pay of each employe who atops work , a a hospital head tax. It would seem that only discharged men are compelled to submit to this arbi trary confiication of their earnings. The wrong is just as great as if it was enforced upon every employe. The head tax can hardly be a bent fit to men who are out of the service of tha company and legally there is no jusi. fication for involuntary servitude on their part , Wo have no doubt that the imposition will bo renewed on a large scale just as soon as the election la over. M. K TURNER Hon. M. K. Turner , the rrpuplicat nominee for congress in the Thirc district , is n native of Ohio , and wai born in Cadez , in that tUtc , on Jum 23 , 1838. His father , A. C. Turner who for the psst eleven years ho ; boon citizen of Nebraska , was th < leading lawyer in his section of lh < country nnd waa often called upon tc servo the public in various oflicia capacities. When a boy Mr. Turnci received a common schhol education , displaying special aptitude in mathematical matical studios , and up to the age of thirteen about equally dividing hit time between work on the farm and attendance at the district school , From thirteen to sixteen , ho clerked during the summer seasons in a general < oral store in Cadiz where ho was well known for hia fidelity to his dutlei and his strict integrity. Hia winter : were spent in study and hin progrose waa no rapid that at sixteen ho began teaching with the object of earning sufliciont money to attend college , [ lard work and an indomit able purpose gained the end. Ho entered Franklin college at Now Athoii. , Ohio , and latoi Antioch College at Yellow Spring , under the presidency of thu justly celebrated Horace Mann , whoso career has left such a lasting impre.si upon the educational lifo of the country. After leaving college Mr. Turner' * time was again devoted to teaching and school snporintondoncy. In 18C3 ho joined the army and fought for the success of the Union cause. Ho re moved to Nebraska in 1870 settling at Columbus , flatlo county , where with hit fatheir ho has boon publishing since that time the Columbus Journal the oldest and leading republican pa per of the county. For the last nine yean Mr. Turner's rcsidonc has been on'his largo tract of land thrco miles norih of Columbus , where he is on- gagqd in mixed farming and stock 'raising. In 1880 hia friends united upon him as abuitablo republican candidate for the state sonata from the district com- pristd by 1'latto and Coif ex counties , making the canvass against that "wheel horao of democracy , " Hon. Guy C. Barnum , who had formerly been a state senator from his district. Ho was Buecessfuljcarrying the district , usually democratic by two or throe hundred. Mr. Turtier'o course in the senate is a matter of record. Upon all the vital is&ui's of the day ho was fauna sound , fearless and outspoken. Ho favored thu appointment of commit tee n by the senate instead of by the lieutenant governor ; the appointment of atpecialruilroad | commission for the consideration of measures designed to rcguluto railroad fores and freight ta riff * ; the passage of the law against discrimination ; the bill to reduce pas senger rates to not moro than throe cents a mile. Ho opposed the capital appropriation and advocated the censuring - suring of both Clinics and Roberts for corrupt bargaining with the railroads. Throughout his entire public career Sir. Turncr'a course nan boon such aa to ouiimiond bun to the people , being marked by good common eonso , mod eration , clearness of view and unwav ering firmness of purpose. NKW YOHK republicans will hold their state convention on the 20th inst. , and the election of delegates is now in progress. Governor Cornell's friend profess themselves as satisfied of his rouomiimtion and point to the election of Cornell delegates in sever , al Colliding districts as proof that ad ministration inlluonco Is not atroug enough to prevent the expression ol party sentiment for their candidate. It is stated to bo the policy of the ad ministration republicans , where they can Bucuro nothing for themselves to put themselves in the way of Mr. Cornell , by securing instructions for local candidates for the governorship , in the hope that Filgin will gain by the break .when the minor candidates are abandoned. Up to Saturday Mr. Cornell while lacking a majority , had u much larger number of delegates than any other candidate , Jay Gould's attack on the governor haa not injured him in the opinion of the atiti-moiiopoliits , and Mr , Cornell's supporters are confident that when the "brosk" comes the Wadsworth delegates will bo found on his side. Olio of the most important of re cent railroad decisions ia that rendered by Judge Daxtor , of the United States circuit court of Ohio , directed against the St. Louis & Chicago road. The railroad attempted to enforce the use of certain stock yards againit a ship per named MiOoy and refuted to re ceive stock from his own yards , Mr. McCoy at once sued out an injunction to compel the company to perform their duties as common carriers. In granting the injunction Judge Uaxter hold us follows ; lUilroad corporations are quasi- public corporations dedicated to the public use. * * They have been created for the purpose of exercising the _ functions and performing the duties of common camera. Their du ties and liabilities are dtiiiiod by law. In accepting their charters they ntces- sarily ncoopt them with all the dutiiu and liabilities annexed that ia to cay , they undertake to cnnatruct the roads contemplated by their several char ters ; to keep them in oed condition ; equip them with suituble rolling stock and eafo machinery ; employ ekilkd and trustworthy laborers ; provide suitable means of access to and cgresc from thoit trains ; erect depots and designate * stopping places wherever the public necessities require them ; supply to the extent of their resources necessary and adequate facilities for the transaction of all the business of. forcd ; deal fairly and impartially with their patrons ; keep p ce with improve' monta in railroad machinery ; and adapt their services to thu varying necessities and improved methods of doing business , Thia decision , which is sound law , is commended to the attention of Ne braska shippers. If the railways can carry or refuse to carry what freight they please the entire business of the country will lie at their mercy. They hnvo received valuable conces sions and priviligcs in consideration of thn performance of certain services , The performance of those services , ac cording to Judge Baxter , it is the busi ness of the courto to enforce. Judge Baxter's decision is especially import ant as blocking all schemes of railway corporations to enter into special contracts with certain stock yards or olovatoro along the line of their roads. And there is no doubt that the au- promo court , to which the case will bo carried , will afllrm a judgment which ia founded on principles of equity and justice. A TIMELY REBUKE. Men who never "kick" who are content to bo bowers of wood and drawers of water at all timea are a moat desirable class of voters for the purposes of thoao who make politics a trade. The colored republicans of Omaha have always faithfully sup ported the republican party. That woo natural , and anything else would have boon contrary to the fitness of things. It haa , indeed , boon a testi mony to their fidelity to the patty of freedom that they could not during all those years bo led away from the republican flag. With very rare ex ceptions there has not been a break among our colored votora ainco they wore enfranchised Their fidelity to the party allowed both their understanding and"appre ciation of the work it had done in their behalf , from the day freedom for the slave became a part of the avowed purpoio of the union armies , down lethe the period of the civil righta legisla tion. It would have boon on amazing thing if they had not been republi cans , and ba a matter of fact no man understand better than they to what aide their gratitude , their interest and their duty lay. But the time may come , of courao when their obligation will be discharged and the duty of supporting what may for the time bear the republican label will cease , They are bound by historic ties and sympathies to a real and vital republicanism , but not to Anything that merely uses its name aa * cloak for Bolfuh and corrupt ends. Their ties are to republicanism , not to "bossism" to popular rule , not to cor porate denomination. They ore con sistent supporters of the great principals upon which emancipation and enfranchisement found their jus tification , and not to methods that would have been u bar and stumbling block to both. With fully ono-Bixth of the entire republican vote of the county it was natural that they should demand and receive proper recogni tion , at least in conventions , if not in positions within the gift of the party. Bnt the Bolt-appointed "bosses , " who control the party machinery in this city and county , have only ono use for the colored man. TJioy wont his vote at the primaries and elections. They ask the support of the colored voter for their own selfish ends , but when ho demands duo recognition in return , they insult and crowd him into a back seat. seat.They They say to him , in ao many words , "You are good enough voting cattle , but wo don't propose to confer honor or place upon you , because wo are sure of your support in any event. " Against such treatment the colored republicans of Omaha have risen in revolt as ono man. Their protest is decidedly timely. Devoted as they are to the prinsiplos of the party , and however anxious they may bo for its success , they have reached the conclu sion that they are only helping to send it to deatruation by voting to continue it in the clutches of the corporation bosses. For the tint time In the his tory of this city and state they have taken position and spoken aa citizens who know their righta and dare main tain them. Thia gratifying evidence of intelligence and manhood la highly commendable. THE gallant bushwhacker that mans the jtckass battery on Douglas street assails Gen Connor for associating his name with Hoaowator , whom ho ho represents as a rebel sympathiser and associate of Jeff Davis. In the same issue of the Republican on the local page the following brief note would seem slightly contradictory : A branch of the society of tha United bUtei Military Telegraph corps bo * boon organized by the adoption of a coustltu- Provident , L.

WHKIIKAS , The republican party has ever since its organization been foremost in adopting measures beneficial to the labor ing and producing clams. Jttiolitd , Tint the question of transpor tation is ono of the most important prob lems now before the people for solution , and that the republican party of Nebraska should voice the tcntimcnts of the people thereon in no uncertain sound ; that all transpoitatlon routes should be BO con trolled by the state and general government an to prevent tx tor lion , unjust charges nnd discrimination in any form or manner ; that tha action of the different railroad compa nies throughout the United States , in con solidating nnd pooling with otherwise com- pnting lines , and issulm ? free passes to public officers , Is contrary to n sound pub- lie policy , and should be prevented by proper legislation.

How comes it that you , who have been re peatedly honored and complimented by the republicans of Nebraska , re fuse to march to the bugle cry of Jay Gould's man Valentino ? How comes it that you , a soldier with a proud record , chairman of the state republi can committco of Indiana , postmaster of Indianapolis , ox-editor of the In dianapolis Journal , and genor.il in tha armies of the union , are now consort ing and hobnobbing with rebels and traitors like Crounso and Roaewatorl This is an awful spectacle indeed to the bread and butter veterans , who , like the pay-roll editor of the Repub lican , are drawing sis dollars a day from Uncle Sam for shedding red ink on behalf of the valiant billiardist. How dare you , general , bravo the wrath of the paid lackeys and hire lings of the giant corporation that Booka to fasten its iron grip upon the people through the glorious party of freedom ? Have you counted the coat of assorting your manhood , general ? Will you , who have risked your lifo and limb on many a battle * field , brave the danger of being branded as n cowardly deserter from the republican fUg by a gang of political bushwhackers , who never catuo within a thousand miles of a musket ball ? How dare you , general , stand up and defend your right aa a free American citizen in the face of the railroad mud swivel and the jack ass batteries that ara hurling their missiles at every man who refuses to bow obedience to the dictates of cor poration kingt ? _ NEW brooms swoop clean. There ought to be a complete change in our state olliiaa ! at tha coming state con vention. With thu exception perhaps of tbo auporintendont of public in struction , no candidate should bo placed in nomination who holds office to-day in the capitol at Lincoln. It ia a notorious fact that our state olliocrs for yean have been men of small cali bre. This has been especially the case with our governor. What we need to-day is higher grade men to represent the state In the executive chair. Wo have had enough wooden men , in. capable of answering a toast , of mak ing a speech , or doing anything else but signing commissions , playing into the bauds of .tho railroads and draw ing their calorics. The office haa been degraded by the class of officials who have been its incumbents until mat- ten have reached such a point that every dunce and crosa-roads poli tician aspires to bo governor of Nebraska. Other states take pride in calling upon the services of their fore most men for this exalted position. In our owu , mou of no education , ability or executive force are nominated aud t elected. Every resident of Nobraski knows that the state has boon goint. down hill in thia regard for the pas' ton years. Governor Butler so far a : mere ability ia concerned was hoac and shoulders above any governor w ( h&vo had since Nebraska became t slato. is it not about time for No braaka to elevate the standard of hei governors , and place something more than a moro figurhoad in the executive chair. OMAHA Is suffering a good deal o ! damage by the outrageous impositioi : on the part of the street railro.it company in doubling their faro during the present exposition. This is utter ly inexcusable. At the outside the oxpensa of running conductors on the cars would bo five dollars a day , and ono hundred passengers al ilvo cents would pay for tin conductors. Thousands of people < plo who have coma from abroad , and other thousands who Ilvo hero arc being shamefully imposed upon by this extra toll. It creates n good deal ol bad feeling against Omaha and mukos patrons of the fair enemies where they would bo friends , This ia not the first time this gouge ganio haa been practised. It was done two years ago and last year and each time there was a great deal of kicking. If the council had done its duty it would liava limited the street car faro to five cents and placed a penalty upon the exaction of a higher toll. If the street railway company were not doing a goodlbusinoss it might bo excused , but when they are making money and their cars are running overcrowded there is no excuse whatever for charg ing ton cents per passenger. I DONT WONDBBI To the Editor o ! Tun llxit : When I BOO a mature maiden lady like Miss Anthony , who has lived single and fought her way alone throuch life , I don't wonder that she wants to vote and occupy a man's place she is about as much man as woman. When I see a woman , who at the outset of her married lifo bore ono child , and has never berne another , I do not wonder that she also wants to voto. She evidently is not satisfied to bo a woman. When I see a woman of splendid physique and fine mental qualities , who has so given horaolf to public vo cations , bordering on man's lecturing [ or instance that her children inherit none of her perfections of body or of mind , I do not wonder that she also wants to vote , and to bo anything rather than the queen of a happy homo When I see a woman , who , though she bears children , curses her fate that she does , it is no marvel that she wants to voto. When I see a woman of auch posi- tivenesa of character that she first marries "on old-shoo of " - a man , to whom she can always bo first fiddle , and then rules him with an iron hand , it is no marvel that she , too , wants to voto. The brooches got on to the wrong pair of legs. When I see a shrew of a woman , who has tormented the life out of her husband and made their habitation moro nearly resemble hell than homo , I don't think it strange that aho also wishes to voto. Nor , Mr. Editor , when I see a wo man whom aomo brute of a husband drunken or otherwise has abused , and to whom homo has been a syno nym for wretchedness , do I wonder that , in her wretchedness , she catches at the ballot aa a drowning man catches at a straw , hoping it may alleviate her sorrows , however impotent it may bo in that direction. But should I see a woman , the queen of a happy home , the fond wife of a worthy husband , the proud mother of noble children , to whom home ia the place of all nearest heav en should I see such an one start out of that home to play the politician on the hustings , 1 should bo surprised.
