A CIRCULAR has boon issued by
Gommisflionor of Pensions Dudley
giving notice to all clerks under his
employ that they must work at least
six and a half hours a day in the de
partment. Herbert Spencer's allusions
to overworked Americans evidently
had no application to the pension do
partmont.
THE 0/naha Jlcpublhan , which was
"Valentino's own" in the late cam
paign , is frightened. Reports are
coming in from various sources that
the true inwardness of the election in
the Third district will bo thoroughly
ventilated for the benefit of Nebraska
voters and the next congress. It calls
Up6n 0 , ? lorl'S ! : Merion and , tbn
United States grand jury to demand
the proofs , and raves about counter
charges of fraud and democratic bull
dozing and bravado. If Valentino's
? C a day clerk will keep cool the
proofs will doubtless bo forthcoming.
It may take a little time to put thorn
in shape for presentation. Statements
and ailidavits are not secured in a
day. There are several hundred Ne
braska farmers whoso votes have boon
r overridden by barefaced fraud who
iu will have something to say on the
question. There are a number of
othar witnesses on the frontier who
also dcsiro to bo hoard for the public
benefit. Meantime there Is no special
hurry. A year will yet elapse before
the Forty-eighth congress moots , when
the subject , if reports are to bo believed -
lioved , will oomo before it for settle
ment. At that tfrno , if not before ,
some interesting developments may bo
expected.
TUB report comes from Washington
that the promotion of Generals Pope
and McKenzie will make too rear
rangements of the military depart
ments. General Pope desires to re
main where ho is. There is no division
for him to command , and in order to
supply it a now one would have to bo
created by reconstruction of the de
partments , as was done for Bchofiold
whou ho was first removed from West
Point , As General Schofiold has suc
ceeded McDowell at San Francisco ,
there is no division left for Popp
without cutting off n slice from the
territory of General Bhoridaii. There
is as little ueo pf n now department foi
Mr. Kendo as there is for a now divi
sion for Pope , It may bo considered ,
therefore , that the military Hues will
remain in etatu quo'.for another year ,
General McKenzle will remain it :

and will have for his superior ottlcei
General Pope , in whoso dopartmenl

EXCESSIVE RAILROAD CON
STRUCTION.
The enormous amount of miles of
railroad constructed during the past
nine months in this country is exciting
wldo comment among financial jour
nals. And deservedly no. During
September , 1CG8 miles of now road
were added on 71 lines , and the total
for the year up to that date amounted
to 9,143 miles. At the present rate
January 1st will witness an addition
in tnrclvo months of not less than
12,000 miles of railroad to our various
railway systems.
The need of n railroad i measured
by its capacity to earn a fair interest
on iki cost. There is no question that
many of the roads constrnctcd last
yonr and this are not complying with
that condition. Many were inaugura
ted simply to pour profits into the
coffaro of construction rinpe. They
have been loaded down wiih fixed
charges out of all proportion to the
capital actually invested in thornwhilo
the evidences of indebtedness created
have boon made the instruments ot
unscrupulous rpocnlatiou. Our ex
changes are flooded with securities
that are far from secure and an
immense- amount of capital that could
have found profitable employment in
ordinary business has boon wasted in
the whirlpool of stock gambling.
This is viewing the cnso purely from
the side of the investor. From the
public standpoint excessive- railroad
conattuotion is no loss to bo feared ,
Of the thousands of miles of now
road which have boon added to our
railroad system , a very largo proportion
tion merely parallel lines which are
already straining themselves to pay
interest on their watered stock.
Pooling and consolidation must be
resorted to to prevent cuts in rates
batwoon roads which would otherwise
bo rivals. The only chance for the
public so far as the lowering of tar
iffs is concerned and aside from legis
lation , must como from the increase
of profits on the linos. In consequence
the unnecessary so-called , competing
lines become iho greatest obstacle to
the public interest and shippers are
compelled , to support three roads
where two are ample to handle the
business. If competition is fore
stalled by purchase as was
the cano with the "Nioklo Plato" the
caao is no different. Several millions
of indobtednoas.aro added to the al
ready oxiuting debts of the corpora
tion and the people are called upon ,
as usual , to pay the interest in in
creased tariff.
Finally , the excessive construction
of railroads stimulates speculation ,
unsettles values and disturbs the rela
tions of capital and labor. Capital Is
turned from safer channels , labor is
unduly employed temporarily , credit
ia extravagantly extended and the no-
euro and orderly operation of finan
cial institutions is interrupted , prevented -
vented and exposed to vorious era-
barra&gmoiits. The reaction is sure to
follow , as it did in 1873 , and when it
doca and the panic la upon na , the
railway magnates are found to have
quietly crawled from under , and , hav
ing disposed of their wild-cat securi
ties b < 339 * the storm , placidly look
down upon the ruin which they
brought about.
OVERWORKED AMERICANS.
Mr. Herbert Spencer , the English
philosopher , in his little speeches at
the complimentary dinners given him
in Now York , delivered himself of
two expressions of opinion with re
spect to the American people. The
first is a criticism upon our principal
political weakness , and the aoc6nd one
is upon our business and industrial en
ergy , Ho tolls us that wo are over
working ourselves , and that we have
developed too fast and too far in one
excellent direction that of pow-
r of application to labor. Ho says ;
"Everywhere I have been struck
with the number of faces which told
n strong lines of the burdens that
tad to bo borne. I have boon struck ,
oo , with the largo proportion of gray-
laired monnnd inquiries have brought
iut the fact that with you tbo hair
omrnonly begins to turn some ton
'oars ' earlier than with us. Moro-
ivor , in every circle I have mot men
who had themselves suffered from
nervous collapses , duo to a stress of
business , or named friends who either
killed themselves by overwork or had
boon permanently iucapaclated or had
wasted long periods in endeavors to
recover health , "
The truth of thoao propositions will
bo recognised at once , As n people ,
wo live too fast. Wo burn Iho caudles
at both ends at onoo. Our minds are
kept at too great a strain. Our relax
ations , so called , are scarcely relaxa
tions at all. Competition is so fierce ,
the struggle for existence so eager ,
that success in most instances can
only bo gained by the utmost nervous
tension. This is the American style ,
There can bo no doubt that it shor
tens our days and diminishes our hap-
plnoiB. But under the conditions of
our national 'ifa , what can bo done to
provout iff Most of ua wcrk nurd bo-
oauku wo must , not from choice. We
are slaves to business , not uccessorlly
becauta wo enjoy the servitude , but
bcoiusb wo imut , If Mr Spencer
can inform us how wo can make u liv
ing without working so hoid , ho will
confer a favor upon thousands of over
worked Americans.
AMTI-MONOPOLY bait is all tbo gc
now-a-daya and the senatorial fisher
men are heavy purchasers. The legIslative
Islativo fish recently elected , know i
fly from a grasshopper ovcry time , and
there will bo a qood deal of angling
before the members elected by the
alliance are hooked and landed ,
WR are indebted to Chairman Dor
soy , of the republican itato control
committee , with a list of the legisla
ture-elect , as returned by the chair
man ot thef.various county committees.
According to this list the republicans
will control the lower house by a good
working majority , with a sur
plus of six votes on joint
ballot. The list is , however , by
no means correct. The classification
credits totho republicans all the Independents
(
pendents elected In Nomnhncouaty and
snvornl members who were nominated
by the antl-monopoliits and endorsed
by republicans. As a matter of fact
there is no margin for the republicans
in the liouan , nor can they reckon on
a straight republican majority on joint
ballot , oven if a division on strict
party lines was possible or probable.
LEADING democratic politicians are
already taking an inventory of the
white house for the democratic preai
dent whom they propose to elect two
years hence. Never count your
chickens before they are hatched.
Monopoly.
Rov. T. DoWitt Talmago says
things sometimes in a strong way.
The following from his sermon on
monopoly will bo thought by most
people none too strong :
I announce an my text this , from
Isaiah Ixii , 4 "Thy land shall bo
married. "
Now , since our republic , oar land
is , to bo married , it is well to inspect
the levers who court her. I propose
to name some .of the suitors who are
claiming- the hand of this republic.
In the first place- there is a greedy , all-
grasping monster who comes as a
suitor , seeking the hand of this re
public , and thatmoustor , is monopoly.
His scepter in made of the iron of the
rail track and the iron of telegraphy.
Ho does everything for his own advan
tage and for the robbery of the people.
Things have gene on off from bad to
worse , until in the three legislatures
of Now York , Now Jersey and Penn
sylvania , for iho moat part monopoly
decides everything. If monopoly
favors a law it is passed ; if monopoly
opposes a law it is rejected. Monopoly
ely stands in the railroad depot pat
ting into its pocket in a year $200,000-
000 in excess of all rc.tHonablo ohargeo
for service. Monopoly holds in ita
ono hand the steam power of locomo
tion , and in the other electricity of
swift communication.
Monopoly has the republican party
in ono pocket and the democratic par
ty in the othtr. Monopoly decides
nomination ! ! and elections city elec
tions , state elections , national elec
tions. With bribes it takes the votes
of legislators , giving thorn free passes ,
giving appointments to needy rela
tives of lucrative positions , employing
thorn as attorneys if they are lawyers ,
carrying their goods at a largo per
centage less if they are merchants ,
and if it finds a case very stubborn as
noli ae very important , puts down be
fore him the hard cash of bribery. I
toll you that the overshadowing curse
of the United States to-day is monop
oly. It puts ita hand on every bushel
of wheat , upon every sack of Bait , up
on every ton of coal , and every man ,
woman and child in the United States
feels the touch of that moneyed des
potism. I rejoice that in twenty-four
states of tbo Union already antimonopoly
nopoly leagues have boon established.
God speed them in the work of liber
ation ! I wish this question might bo
the question of the next presidential
election , for between this nnd that
tiuio wo can compel the political par
ties to recognize it in their platforms.
1 iiavo nothing to say against capital
ists , A man has the right to make all
the money ho can make honestly.
I have nothing to say against cor
porations as such. Without them no
grout enterprise would bo possible ;
but what I do say ia that the same
principles are to bo applied to capi
talists and corporations that are ap
plied to the poorest man and the
plainest laborer. What is wrong for
mo Is wrong for the Vandorbilts and
' .ho Goulds and the elevated railway
: ompauicB of New York and Brook
lyn , Monopoly in England has
ground hundreds of thousands of her
best people into apmi-atarvation and
in Ireland has driven multitudinous
tenants almost to madness , and In the
United States proposes to take the
wealth of fifty or sixty millions of
people and put it in a few silken wal
lets. Monopoly , brazan-faced , iron-
fingered , vultured-honrted monopoly ,
proposes his hand , odors his hand to
this republic. Lot the millions of the
people north and south , east and
west forbid the banns of that mar
riage , forbid them at the ballot box ,
forbid them by great organizations ,
forbid them by the overwhelming
sentiment of an outraged nation , for
bid them by the protest of the church
of God , forbid them by the prayer to
high heaven , that Herod shall not have
ibis Abigail.

"Ilavo you hoard the news from
Holt , " I understand from Tun BEE
of the 10th inst. that W. D. Mat-
thowo , who publishes The Fiontior
at this place , wont to the trouble oi
making the above inquiry of you by
telegraph , and in order that you maybe
bo able to enlighten him a little , I
give you all the facts.
Holt county govo M. K. Turner a
majority of twenty-two over E. K.
Valentino. Turner , it is well known ,
was the republican anti-monopoly
candidate for congress in the Third
district , and received his support from
a class of republicans who scorned to
bo boesod by the , putrid mats of cor-
ruptionists who undertook to trample
on the rights of the honest voters of
this congressional district. The re
publicans of this county endorsed
Turnornnd despised that man of many
frauds , Valentine , and his tool , Mat
thews. There are some men whom it
it is better not to have on your side ,
and Matthews , the politician of many
creeds , is ono of those. In proof of
this proposition I submit the following
facts :
The last time Valentino competed
for the vote of this county ho carried
it by 180 majority out of a vote of
323 , running adoad of tha state ticket
several votes. In these days the poli
tics of this country was carried on
FAIIILY AND SQUARELY ,
no bulldozing , no choking nor sup
pression of opinions , every ono was
allowed that to which he was entitled
a right to bo heard. But that was
not the way in which the rotten basswood -
wood of tbo Elkhorn valley wanted
things done. Ho was not used to that
kind of busincts , honesty. Ho in-
stinotly loves fraud. For him the
stolen apples are the sweetest. Val
entino must have the primaries stolen.
So ho hires Mathews , the pilferer , to
steal them. Val paid the pricn in ad
vance by giving the postofiho to
Mathews , itho ingrate mendicant ,
against the earnest protestations of
every citizen of this place. Mathews
was to deliver the county nt this last
election to his patron. How well the
party of the second part fulfilled his
part of the contract remains now to bo
soon. Like the evil ono on the moun
tain , ho offered to deliver things
which ho did not possoes. Ho and his
tools
STOLE THE CAUCU8SES
and the convention , but they could
not steal the votes of the pooplo. Yes ,
Mathews , the blackleg , stole the pri
maries. That they actually did.
But what was the result !
What ? Thp'rosult ' was that the people ,
the sovereign people , rose in their
might , and at the ballot-box adminis
tered such a scathing rebuke to these
would-bo traffickers of their rights of
suffrage , that if they were not the
moat abandoned characters they would
bury themselves from the sight of the
honest suffragists whom they tried to
betray. Now , what docs the rotten
basswood of the Elkhorn valley think ?
Has ho reason to rejoice over his bar
gain with the rum-suckers ?
LOOK AT THE FIGURES
and seo. Out of a vote of 1,000 or
thereabouts for the entire state repub
lican ticket , Valentino got 415 votes.
I do not take the unorganized terri
tory west of us into account as the
citfzann of that country hwo peti
tioned for an organization , which is
likely to bo granted by the next legis
lature , and , betides , that territory
figured but little in elections previous
to last year , and hence could not be
consistently used in instituting a com
parison between the vetos of Holt
county two or three years ago and the
present year ; but oven if I did take
that country into account , the result
would bo little varied. But to re
turns. Out of a vote of about 1,000
for the state ticket at this fall's elec
tions Val got 415 votes , wherein pre
vious to his purchase of Mathews , the
gambler , ho ( Val ) ran ahead of the
state ticket.
This result ought to make anyone
fool joyful. Who ought not to feel
satisfied .with such a largo gain ?
The vote of this county stood this
'all as follows : For republican state
Jokot , except Clark , 1,000 ; for Turner -
ner , 437 ; for Valentino , 415 ; tor
Mungor , 180.
Thus you see Val. falls about 500
votes behind the state ticket , and
twenty-two votes behind Turner.
The county ticket put in the field
by the Matthews outfit was also most
IQNOMINIOUHLY BURIED.
B. 8 Gillespio , who received the
nomination , for member of the legishv
turo at the Matthews rump convcn
tlon , experienced such a severe
chastisement that ho , too , is ingloriously -
gloriously buried with the vile gang
that tried to foist him on the pooplo.
When the honest voters of this county
learned of the villainy perpetrated by
the Matthews outfit a''iha com ty con
vention , they oillod u inaas coav.on-
tlcn , nominated a county ticket and ,
although they had but three weeks in
which to make a canvass , yet carried
the county by huch a
sweeping majority that the
corrupt ignoramusoa tha * aped control
of tlio county were entirely bewildered.
Buth Vnl uud Gillcspe may well any ,
"Oh , deliver us from our friondb. "
Lot us ECO what the nnti-eorruptionista
of this county have dono. They
HAVE WIPED OUT
ouo of the foulest gangs of political
vultures that over cursed a county ;
they have taught the trafficera in
men's suffrages that it is ono thing to
bargain away the votes of a county ,
but quito a different thing to deliver
the L'oodsj they have elected a senator ,
M , P , Kiukald , and a representative ,
Henry Gordon , who , instead of being
the pliant tool of the corporations , will
go down to Lincoln and help to elect
a United States senator , who will be
in oympathy with the people one of
the Von Wyck stripe. Theao and
many other things , which , if it were
not that I have already taken up too
much of your valuable space , I would
mention , they have dono. But they
have given corruption a decisive ex
pulsion , and with such effect that the
Mathews outfit is completely anni
hilated. Mathews is so utterly detested
tested by the respectable people of
this county that when they moot him
on the street they put their hands to
their noses and spit as If they were in
the presence of n decaying carcass.
Tlicse are facts tlwt'mado the dishon
est imbecile Mathews frantically
inquire , "Havo you hoard the news
from Holt county ? " X
Tbo Census Reports on Wages.
New York Times.
Ono of the assertions which the ad
vocates of the existing high tariff in
the United States are never weary of
affirming and reiterating Is that the
laborers in the protected industries
have boon thereby greatly benefited
through the permanency of employ
ment ( the stagnation of industry from
1873 to 1878 and the strikes any lock
outs of 1882 to the contrary not
withstanding ) and through the receipt
of extremely nigh wage ? , by reason of
which the iron workers of Pennsyl
vania , according to the Hon. W. D.
Kelley , are enabled and accustomed
to adorn the walls of their residences
"with chromes and find engrav
ings , " and otherwise to faro sumptu
ously. Heretofore in the absence of
any collection of statistics which all
interested were willing or constrained
to accept as authoritative , the discus
sions which have taken place between
the advocates of "tariff reductions"
and "high protection" is respect to
labor , wages , prices and profits , have
been ina great degree unsatisfactory ,
these on cither side who did not want
to bo convinced being generally
strengthened in their preconceived
opinions , while others , fairly open to
conviction , fonud themselves utterly
confused by a conflict of assertion and
inference which did not admit pf any
complete refutation or verification.
The recent publication of the ro-
aulta of the census of 1880 have , bow-
over , at last , in many departments of
domestic industry , placed matters
upon a now ana different footing , and
given to the public a revelation of
positive facts which cannot bo hereafter -
after cither ignored or denied. Thus ,
in a series of articles on our "Iron
and Stool Industries , " published some
weeks since in our columnsit was conclusively
clusivoly demonstrated from an analy
sis of the census returns that in place
of the receipt of exceptionally
high wages by the laborers em
ployed in thoao highly protected in
dustries tbo average wage paid them
was only about $1.16 per diem , or
$315 per annum , n rate about the
average paid to the commonest and
least skilled labor in most parts of the
country ; and , also , that the laborers
in thcuo industries in the United
States derive no benefit whatever
from the greatly enhanced prices
which the oxisiting tariff permits the
owners of coal and iron lands and of
the iron and stool furnaces and roll
ing mills in this country to charge to
the general public as consumers ,
Similar striking and interesting con
clusions are now dednciblo from the
[ statistics of the manufactures of
twenty of the principal cities of the
United States as set forth in one of
Iho most recent of the bulletins of the
census bureau. In these manufactures ,
which include all Iho more especially
protected industries , the number of
employes is returned at 948,404 , com
prising 663,827 men , 224,100 women ,
and 60,507 children. The acgrogato
annual wages paid to the came were
$379,384,031 , which , assuming
300 working days Li the year , would
show a disbursement of $1,251,283 for
each day , ana an avcrago of $1,33 per
day for each person employed. Se
lecting Philadelphia from the list of
the twenty cities as the ono which may
be fairly regarded as having done the
most to impose the high protective
tariff system upon the country , the
analysis of the census returns affords
the following mult :
Number of employes 173,012
Annual aggregate wages. . . .500,000,237 00
Dally disbursement for 300
daya 292,02100
Average wages per hand per
day 110
It will thus ba seen that in this cen
tra of protection the average wages
paid to labor are 17 cents per day less
than the general average paid in the
twenty selected cities located all over
the continent , or , leaving Philadelphia
out of the list , the average paid to
manufacturing labor rues from $1.33
to $1 37 per day.
These figures are hard nuts to crack
for that class of people who have
been assuring the working men
and women of the country that high
protection inevitably assures them
high wages. With the prices of com
modities at normal rates , $9 per
week is little enough to enable the
laborer in the manufactories of our
largo cities to provide himself with
food , fuel , clothing , and shelter
more especially if he has others de
pendent on him and every advance
n commodity prices means reduction
of wages through diminished pur
chasing power. Since 1879 the ad
vance in prices of commodities has
been at least 20 per cent. , and there
has boon no general increase of wages
in consequence , Hence the rea
sonable discontent of labor
everywhere. Hence the con
tinual strikes and local disturbances.
Now , in what way is the laborer ti
look for relief , with from HOVCU
hundred thousand to a million r
cruits to the labor market pouring in
annually ] Not by denouncing om
players , * ho , in all but exceptional
instances , pay the average market
prlco for labor , but rather by denounc
ing all men uAd measures which are
instrumental in unnecessarily aug
menting the ooat o'living byoxcosnivo
taxation , waste fal expenditures ,
and the continuance of a policy
which prevents the expansion of
the markets for the prod-
uots of our varied industries. Let
these desirous of relief and a better
state of things oak themselves , Why
ahould this land , BO produotlvo of
a'-jundanca that wo araable to con
tribute largely to the food supply of
almost all nathim , bo at the eatno
time the most costly of all I&nd to live
Inl And when they have once fully
comprehended what la involved in this
aakiug they will have made some pro
gress iu determining a solution of the
problem.
