ALTIIOUOH Nebraska Is in every re
spect the equal of Kansas in point ol
productiveness and natural resource !
she has not kept pace with Kansas IE
growth. lu 1880 Kansas had ncarlj
ono million population while Nebras <
ka had only 402,000. During the pas !
two years Kansai has added fullj
200,000 to her population while No-
breska haa scarcely added half thai
number. The primary cause of the
marvelous growth of Kansaa wai
political , but since the war hoi
growth Is mainly duo to cilcctlvo auc
systematic advertising. Kansas hoi
never loit on opportunity to advortLu
her resources. She has expended veal
luins of money for publishing to thi
world her advantages of soil and cli
mate , while Nebraska haa depended
pendod almost entirely upon the ad
vertialng she has received through thi
Und grant railroads. The coming legia

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
The legislature will convene on th
2d of Jannary and the first bnsinos
of importance will bo the election o
speaker. Time honored ua.igo ha
given the speaker the prerogative t
appoint the committees of the hous
nnd inasmuch as the committee
shape legislation the spcakcrship is
position of great Influence and rospon
siblllly. A competent , upright am
impartial speaker can do the fltnt
great ocrvico. A jobber , ( rickstc
and lool of monopolies would bo i
dangerous man in t > uch n placo.
There is n deposition among lor.dtnj
anti'inonopoliata to take tha appoint
raont of committees from the tpoake
and leava their organization to thi
house as ia custotmry in the oana'.o ,
Wo doubt the propriety of nuch i
conrno
Thcro nro ono hundred members ir
the hounc. Such n largo body is mure
unwioldly than the conato and the
assignment of members to their rcnpoc-
, ivo committees would become more
diflicult. It would ba moro desirable
lint the man chooon to preside ovoi
ho houio should bo In full accord
with the nipjotity of the body on nil
vital issues , aud above all things that
10 should bo a man whooo integrity ia
bovo autpicioii , and whoso loyalty to

Amonu the ono hundred mcmbors of
ho legislature such a man can

choice , o * speaker. It will 8fc S31

of any man whoso political record la
tainted or whono associations leave
room for doubt as to hia fidelity.
Thcro are already a number pf candi
dates in the field for the apcakorahiu.
All of them claim to bo In earnest
sympathy with thotnoasurca advocated
by anti-monopdiata. But wo know
that Bomo of these candidates sro 'in
oloso communion with the political
managers of the railroads and dxpoot

Are they likely to fulfill tlr\j pledges
they make to anti-monopolists when
they depend for their succeso upon the

In order to nuke euro of the olec-

their odltorlr.l cooocialop , propose to
clamor for a csucua of republican * to
nominate a npeaker , whom every re

is proposed to.cxaol a plodgs from every
republican member of the house that ho
will nupport for speaker any man that
recoivoa a majority of the votes of a
cauousmado up of republican mombnrj
of the honao. Could any man who
earnestly desires to legislate against
existing abuaca by railroads enter
Bucli a oauoon and by making anch n
pledge bind himaolf to oupport a man
for speaker who would organize the
committees to defeat every antimonopoly
nopoly mocsurci ( .Could any member
of the Icgialataro who is pledged to
Favor anti-monopoly legislation go

and justify hia vote for n monopoly

\Yhat light has any honorable man

and his devotion to the material

Ir any member of the Douglas

of Omaha is in favor of re
ducing the number of j an ticca

Let these judges bo elected by the
city at largo , glvo them a iixod salary ,
and lot the costs go to the city 01

As it is , this city la cursed with t

From these legalized robberies then

Whether the consolidation of th
Northwestern and Omaha roads , an
dor the ralo of Vuuderbilt , will worl
well or ill for this region depends , o
coarse , wholly on the policy whlc
shall bo pursued. The general polio
which haa been adopted by Mr , Van

rates ho can obtain , without much re
gard to public opinion of hia course
is not likely to work well in thia par
of the country whore there is ai
uncomfortable tendency to grangorisr
on the part of the people an
the legislatures. There will bo muc
apprehension , too , that the absorptio
of the Northwestern and Omaha i
the Yandorbllt system ia only n ste
toward hia swallowing up of lines ci
tending still further west. This a [
prehension is a most natural ono. A

the swallowing up of all roads north

needless to say that if Mr. Yandci
