S. S. REYNOLDS was defeated for
Treasurer of Butler county , the Itopubli-
can candidate being elected by a small
majority. This allows a chmmgo of sonti-
niont since last year , when Mr. Reynolds
received over 1,100 majority for State
Senator-Seward Reporter.
This shows nothing of the sort. Reynolds
nolds was running against two other

Last year lie was eloltod by 1,100 majority -
jority over his opponent in Butler and
Polk counties , Last year Butler county
gave Sturdovant 401 majority over Loran
Clark. This year Savage carries it over
' Reese by 472. Polk county , which gave
Sturdovant 04 majority last year , was
a carried by Savage this year by 247 un-
f jority ; and these two couutics wore regarded -
garded as time stronghold of Mr. Itooso.
Thin shows that the district which elected
Mr. Reynolds last year to tlmo Senate by
about 1,100 , has experienced no cumaigo

LAIR'S I'INDW.ITION.
Congressman Laird's lemg oxpcctedvin
dication has at last appeared in lmis organ ,
tlio Ilastinge (7azctfc .tournal , Ills
"comploto vindicatton , " as he calls it ,
was written by himself , and occupies six
solid columns. It is an amusing docu
moat , Mr. Laird disproves what Ivan
never chmged , and by implication admits
the material parts of all that JIM ever
been charged , except that ho was in col.
lusion with time local land ofhicore at Mc.
Cook. The answer to that allegation is
simply what accused persons generally
plead when arraigned , namely , not gnil
ty. No intelligent man can read and di.
gent Limo statements of the land ofilcore
without reaching the cmmcluaion that Mr.
Laird is simply laboring lard to thinprovo
what nobody has nllogcd.
Mr. Laird line been charged witlm
watiting a stock ranch on the Stinking
Water crook , ant } that in accordance with
that wait ho wort into that section with
Simon Belly , the Hastings gin mill
keeper , amid Mr. Francis , the surveyor of
lied Willow county , to lmunt up the linen
of the land which ho coveted. Neither
of those charges does lie deny.
It was charged that Mr. Laird paid
Galei Baldwin the sum of 8500 to aban
don a sgttnttcra claim which ho ( Baldwin )
had in that noiglmborhood. Mr. Laird
docn not deny nor attempt to dinpro'o
thin , but introduces Baldwin to disprove
a chadgo that never was made , that ho
paid Baldwin $600 for making a dugout
and plowing patches of ground. Baldwin -
win states that the contracts for plowing
time ground wore made with each one of
the persons who made the entries-none
of the contracts being made verbally and
somno by writing. Baldwin admits in his
etatoment that only eight out of the
cloven bogus homoteadom have over
been in tlio neighborhood , but ho does
not state whether these contracts wore
made before or after time expostmro of the
fraud.
It was charged that after time lines to
these lands had boon found by Laird ,
Holly and Francis , time nurvoyors of Red
Willow county , that n party of noon
from Itastings , the home of Laird , went
to McCook on Il , aC M. railroad passes
furnished by Laird , amid entered lands
selected by himself and Kelly and
Francisnnd that the first entries that wore
made on time day of time opening of the
McCook land office wore those of these
identical lands. Thin is not attempted
to bodoniod in Laird's no called vindication -
tion , but to all intcntsand purposesia ad.
muted forimo introducestlme oflicersof the
land office , who simply deny that
they were in collusion with Laird or any
body who made the entries of these
lands , and also time attorney of time men ,
Mr. Starbuck , who makes time mane do.
nial Opposed to this in tlmo affidavit of
Dioora , heretofore published , which
shows that other pro emptors tried to
got the ear of the land officers at Mc.
Cook so as to make time cuitrroa of their
claims , which wore on this tract , but
failed ; It is an ostabll lmed fact that
Laird's associates wore given the profor-
once. Is it not , than , a fair inference
that they made the entries at tuln request
of Laird and Kelly ,
Mr , Laird publishes another affidavit
from Moore which is very long , but
which , when boiled down , mean only
this amid nothing inoro , that ho did not
tntond to charge that James Laird wan in
collusion with the local land officers , in
making fraudulent entries. We shall republish -
publish title affidavit at an early day , and
willaak the public to carefully peruse it.
Thorn is no withdrawal of any charges of
collusion or favoritism on the part of the
land officers with Mr. Starbuck and his
clionts. Moore , in his second afidavit ,
simply says , amid as we understand lie in
imitentle to say , that ho did notintemid to
charge that Laird was proseut or in col.
lusion with time officers in making thieso
entries ,
Time fact is that Laird with his inntural
cunning increased by his practice as a
lawyer , builds up a straw man and
knocks the dummy over , instead of an.
sweriug time real charges that have booms
published against him.
1Vo will not stop to analyze the bombast -
bast and fustian which Mr. Laird imidul
ges in , to distract the attention of the
public from indisputable facts. Mr.
Laird leas been very unfortunate in his
businoes associations , and Imim nu + inory
lmn been so defective that few who know
hint could depend on any douial lie
makes ovomi if inn the shape of ms oflidavit ,
His concoction years ago wills rotten
schemes and corrupt jobs hums given himn
a notoriety that is more malodorous
tlman time etimikmug water ranch steal.
There are a fuw questions wlmioli ho pro.
pounds .to rime mina directly , Mr. Laird
asks , "Will time Omaha Bee state who is
its authority for the elmargo of fraud by
James Laird in ooumootlom with time organization -
ganization of Plwlps county ? " If Mr.
Laird desires to locate the authority lot
hint look in and around time Norttm Platte
land ofilco , and if Imo can not find ft there ,
we will cite a few old settlers who have a
distinct recollection om that subject.
Mr. Laird's next quoetiom in , " 1Vill
thu same paper state who was its author
ity for the clmargo that Jamnos Laird ap-
pliedfor and deposited moioy for the
survey of land in Northern Nebraska ? "
Mr. Laird to disprove this has fished
out an afiidav'it fron ox.Survoyor or
General Smith , who swears that the
identical James Laird who deposited
the money to locate lamda in Nebraska
on survey scrip hailed from Wyoming.
This is but anotlmor case of "Vegenlmam. "
Our information came from time records
of a congressional comniRtoo charged ,
with investigating those survey scrip
frauds. Tlm'lscommitteowimileluvostigatiug
emtrioemade by a Califurnia ring , atum
bled on tame name of Jauwa Laird , who
made entries 1mm Nebraska , Mr. Smnitlt
testifies that time mnnn Laird was from
Wyoming. It is prenumablo that if lie
lived in Iiastings he wonld not likely ho
stupid enoucfh to give himself away.
The third and last question asked by
Mr. Laird is , "And will the same paper
state who is its authority for the state.

noction with time Inovale carol" Our
authority is time conduct of Mr. Laird and

days we mummy have comlmtitiou ; omen time
pool will ho reorganized , concessions will
be nmado and the combination will exact
time expenses of time war and the increased
proportion accorded time kickers from time
shippers. The lamb shearing will Luton
go on moro vigorously than over. It is
an established fact tlmat there can be moo
such timing as pornianout cougpetitiotr in
parallel railroads. Of mmocosmty Limo rates
ever all must be Limo same , Wlmonovor
a new road is built limo territory tribu

vestment. Competition always will be
followed by combinatiom. Thu public
may temporarily profit by a ruiu.un
freiglmtamid passenger warbut in time cud
it has to make good time losses of such a
war. There is only ono way in which mho
public can be protected against ruinous
rate wars amid extortionate tolls by combination -
bination , The national and state legislatures -
latures must enact laws fixing a mntnimmtm
as well as a maximum rate. We want
laws tint wilF prevent any railroad fromm
engaging in competition at loss rates tlman
it can afrord to carry time businesa. We
want laws tlmat will prevent pool lines
from exacting front shmipbers , who are
compelled to patromiizo them , exorbitant
and oppressive tolls. Whom such laws
arc enacted it will be mnoc
canary for railroads to pool as a mat.
tor of self-protection , and competing
roads will only be built whemi time trafic
of the section through whiclm they run
shall demand additional facilities. It is a
nnistakon idea that every railroad built is
e blessing to time country.
Experience has shown that time need.
less building railroads by jobbers and
speculators , wino build on borrowed capi-
tat min'1 issue fictitious stock , is n great
curse. Such roads may develop prematurely -
turoly sections of the country which they
traverse , but in time long run , instead of
cheapening trnarportation they compel
roads that share the traffic with tlmem to
keep up higlr rates.
Take for example time railroads tlmat
traverse the comitinont , The Union and
Central Pacific roadounrostricted by law ,
have for fourteen years exacted outrageous -
geous tolls from their patrons. They
have laid heavy tribute upon time produ
cers amid industrial classes from the
Missouri to time Pacific coast.
It was expected that tire building of coin-
poting roads to time Pacific would nilord
relief by forcing immaterial raductions in
passenger amid freight tolls. What is time
result ? The trafiio of which time Union
and CemitralPacifmc had a mnouopoly is
now divided among five nionopohics. Time
highp rates lmerotoforo exacted by time
Union and Central Pacific are kept up
by mutual ngroommemt. They could hardly -
ly do otherwise , The traffic that pald
a Imndsono dividend on two moil.
lions of inflated stock is now
expected to pay dividends emi ono thousand -
sand mimilliuns , The Union and Contra
Pacific cormorants , gorged withm spoils exacted
acted by highway robbery , might have
loosened their grip amid given their pa.
trans reduced rates , but whemi they have
to divide with four other giant nmoumopo
lies lhoy naturally continue their oppressive -
prossivo exactions. To be euro , time ces-
struction of four other railroads to time

time torntiual cities , but time increase is by
no mneans proportlouato to rho incrcased
expemmeos and vast capital upon whiclm in
toroat amid divtdeiids are to be paid ,
hence , Limo country will be bled for ninny
years when it maight have had relief hind
not the speculators built more roads tlman
we mood , Sooner or later limo chartering
of railroads will have to be regulated by
Limo population atma tra0dc. Until thou
amid until time legislatures and congress
fix maximumi and nifnimum tolls , pool ig
tvmhl continuo and ruinous pool wars will
disturb comnmoco by fluctuating rates
which are always followed by a levy on
time alippors to make up the shortage.

Tun opinion of Justice Ilarlami , dis-
nonting from the decision of his col.
leagues on time United States Supreme
bencli fu tlmeir decision pronouncing tlmo
civil rights bill unconstitutional , will
couuneitl itself an eminently aound to
evorysincero believer in the fundamental
Principlce of Republicanism , Juetico
Ifarlau plants himself broadly upon time
ground that the aupromo court is in duty
bound to respect the intent of the makora
of time constitution. It in n matter of
history that time constitutional amend.
nionts under whiclm the civil rights bill
was fraudd , were voted and adopted
not merely to abolish slavery amid confer
time elective franchise upon time freedmen ,
but to insure equality before the law fn
its broadest sonic to every citizen with.
out regard to race , color or previous con-
dition. The duty of thu National Legislature
laturo to prohibit discriminatimi against
any citizen iii time full exorcise of his
civil rights wan expressly pointed out in
Limo proviso timat grants to Congress time
power to enforce time constitutional
amondnmmits by suitable legislation. To
nay that this power was nega-
Live , mud could not be exercised
until some State attempted to
discriminate against one class
of citizens by hostile legislation ,
beatuso of their race or color , was vir
tunny to nullify time very essoueo of the
amondmonts. To enforce equality be.
fore Elmo law in respect to thmo rights of
all citizens to equal privileges on public
imighwaya and in public places there
must be lawn to punialm offenders It
would not be necessary for any State
wlmoro people were hostile to time exercise
of equal privileges on railroad trains ,
steamboats , parks or other public places
of amusement to enact laws creating
class or race distinctions in order to
nullify the civil righmts of all its citizens.
Such distinctions could ho carried on
with impunity as long as no law wan enacted -
acted to prevent thorn , and punish their
infraction. Under the late decision congress -
gress never will be called on to protect
tire civil rights of American citizens
whcro they are violated by State statute ,
amid yet time violations will be a matter of
notoriety and common occurenco. Justice -
tico Harlan lays down the fundamental
principle involved in this decision
when ho declares : National legislation ,
may , without transcending the limits of
of the constitution , do for human liberty
mind fundamental riglmts of American eiti-
zonship , what it did with the sanction of
the Supreme court for time protection of
alavory and rights of masters over fugitive -
tive slaves. In every material muse , it
is applicable to time practical enforcement
under the amendment ,
