No words of censure can fitly portray ito downward tendency for the past nix years. The error of itfl doings is known from nil points of the comprvso. Thcao may bo harsh wonls to use , especially by a republican. But , air , wo should fitato the oppoaito opinion with double-fold nlacrity if the man agement of the party had given ua ijrounds for so doing. Tn support of this view tLoro is a great many quoitions to bo taken into consideration. It is ad mitted in all circles that an unoflicia' ' man may give vent t the fooling of his heart , nnd tin's in my present purpose. It will rovcal a record of crime , of blun der and of shamo. TJio voice of every anti-monopoly republican says : "Yes wo aio prepared to show and inalco known our dlaguot and indignation towards the republican party as long as it deludes the people and allows injustice to take stops forward and constantly im pose upon our inherent rights. " To day corporate power waits in the distance on the natural enemy of a people ple who.io representatives have forsaken the guiding law of justice. Is it any wonder wo arc driven to resentment on account of the asperity with which wo have been treated by our chosen law makers , executive oilicors and the rail way corporations ? Nevertheless [ a vigi lant eye has been keeping watch , nnd the sooner there is a reconstruction of looted , the bolter tlio condition and prospect of the party. The people of Nebraska have learned Eonio rude lessons since the meeting of the last legislature. They arc lessons that Imvo doneus no harm. They can repair their former errors only by retributive justice and thus profit by the dear bought experience of the past. The wish to apply the necessary remedy has been the constant aim of the antimonopoly - monopoly party , but they lacked the power. Directly wo set ourselves about bo enquire WHO WAH TO Itr.AMK for this failure. It was republican party , whoso system wan at fault , foul and rot- ton. The people sot before thorn their grievances nnd trusted to their wisdom to secure their removal. But they remained unshaken in their purchased allegiance towards the railroads as against the pooplo. What uro wo to make of men who go into the arena of party conflict , and when elected abandon those- meas ures they wore chosen to represent nnd maintain ? What is the substance of the whole ? The party after a continual reign of power has fallen into the deep ditch of political corruption , a fact conceded by nearly half of our population. There is political corruption in the republican party of Nebraska , among its loading partisans , in its political measures , in its political services , in the dispensation of ) flicca , in the control of the press , and in ; ho known partiality it has favored nnd lorvcd the railroads. This corruption ias so disgraced the republican wrty of Nebraska tlint sixteen thou- iand of its adherents considered it their imperative duty to abandon its support. They revolted against the par ky , whoso chosen representatives resort ed to the prostitution of tl.oir trusta to secure private or individual aims. What h this , then , but ptrjury perjury of the darkest dye. Then wo are told there is no law thut will prosecute Buch notioni , for in Nebraska it is said , all public crimea have n tendency to draw upon themselves a conventional disguise , while nets of the same nature , only on a little lower scale usually consign tlio poorer wretches within the walla of ou * peniten tiary , still both the principle and practices arc much beyond any diTonso Mr. Nye or Gere can " make , They surpoe * nil power "language to describe thuir ° iioas find tearful natures. No masoning Dim properly gauge the filth of such cor ruption , no statement can adequately set forth ita vileness , and the injury of its works , no language is to strong enough which to express LOATHINO i'OHTHK KKl'UULIOAN 1'AUTY > y every man who has the wul- uro of his state at heart and ho future growth and prosperity of her nstitutions. Now lot every republican sweep away the cob-webs from his door and lot in light , where light s so much desired. Lot them look over ilio situation calmly and ask themselves what the further BUCCCSS of the republi can party moans under the present dic tatorial management. Does it not essay the rule of bribery , the abuse of patron- URO. "I believe there is something higher and nobler than merely dabbling in patronage , " also providing for depend' unts , strikers and supporters , and fatten ing hypocrites fro in the public granaries , What does the success of anti-monopoly advocates signify ? It means this : they will huvo to fight off bribery , and intim idation of almost every kind ; they will be compelled to contend against the spirit of intrigue and pollution. It will bo necessary for them to hold them selves above a price to aid every dirty job. Now the people only expect thai which ii fair and just. They demand that the railroads bo required to moo ! the same obligation as a private citizen. They ask that some , of these damnable wrongs may be stricken out , such ai those embraced in the Key ar questions , that appeared in THE BEE corera weeks ago. There stands the question , "Ifow shall wo got rid o : the monstrous evil ? " that wlllrcquiro al the iinuness of our people to find a proper solution. So far the republican party is to blame for this lauionUblo stateof af fairs , and the people's appeal has mot a constant and continuous rebuke at their hands. Tlio republican party HAS I'LAVEI ) FALSE. There stands the gigantic evil , waxing more and more formidable , day after day year after year The people in their supreme premo majesty are not obliged to aup port the republican party , No wlnp or spur can bring ui into Iho ranks after oui voice has boon greeted by foul insult anc the right of speech ignored by those who govern the machinery of the parly , under the "previous" Dornoy .t Co. It Is to bo regretted and even deplored , Ui&t such men aa Humor , Conner auc Turner retracted their steps. Five years ago they were branded us demagogues , nothing too mean could bo brought ( ijttinst them , yet wo have no harsh words to administer. These mon may bo able to bring about reforms and help to purify Lho party. That is nil wo can solicit. Wo ask nothing more. The people of Nebraska demand railroad legislation. They do not expect or care to experience such treatment no they were favored with the last Bcatjion. It was said nnd known at the time , when Humphrey wan elected speaker , that no railroad legislation could bo had ; that was a triumph for railroads , and a Blench in the nostrils of the pee plo. To sustain this wore not the taulcs of the senate and house ladoncd with pe titions for Immediate action relative to the railroad question , forwarded not by Mr. Ooro , Mr. Nye , Mr. Kimball or Mr. Holdrego , but by Jour most conservative farmers nnd citizens. Did that patched up railway 'commit- too suitor those billa introduced looking forward to some mcnsnro of relief to take their regular course in the progress ol legislation } And yet wo are informed that ours is n government "for the poo- pie , by the people " A number of mon , delegated for particular purposes went tc Lincoln , possessing not n tithe of author ity beyond that conferred upon them by the people , neglected the main object foi which they were chosen , nnd procoodci to accomplish other objects IN Till ! INTKIIKNT OK TltT. UAII.UOAIW , which woa not wished by their constitu ents , but in turn nn outrage upon the right of suffrage , nnd a betrayal of those who leaned on them with confidence and supppit. A grosser violation of [ nil the requirements of honor , of nil the safe guard nnd guarantees demanded by the people has been seldom perpetrated nny. where. Is it to bo expected that the in dependent republicans of Nebraska nro going to associate wjth the Jack Cades and Walt Tylers of the republican party , as long as the present state of all'aira con tinue ? Is it not much more honorable to ride on the tail of the democratic kite than submit to such outrages , and rush into the lion's mouth , after being duly warned and cautioned ) Now all this may bo only the course mutterings of n greenhorn or nn idiot , but wo nro entitled to the right of saying something about the misdoings of the re publican while all its party place-beg ging scavengers are active in gathering the snails. Allow us to present a con trast in the way of illustration. Every one knows how Trussaiut Louvorturo was carried n captive to Franco , to die in a dungeon. God only knows , in what manner. Every one knows that his crime was that ot bravely resisting Napoleon's marshal , who caino to reduce again to slavery a country Louvorturo had inado free. Hero wo Imvo in this lioro , n born slnvo , n black man , who once hold in his hands the liberty of his people and the destiny of the American archipelago. Ho supplied [ Jay ti with a constitution and during his time established many reforms in which civil nnd political equality was pro claimed , and ho encouraged agriculture and intor-stato commerce by the aboli tion of all grasping monopolies. Now lot us glance over iho history of the republi can party of Nebraska , and imagine \VHAT A UIFFKKENr LINE OK 101.1 UV it has pursued toward the producers. Who of j this state is there to gainsay but what the absolute object of the republi can party has boon that of political pur poses instead of those for patriotic insti- .utions. Who will deny but that the re publican party has by ignoble > rocrastiuation crippled the func- ions of our state govern ment , and by such n course , poured dis- rcBs all over our fair stato. Y.'o nro un willing to suspend this judgment when ho plain facts admit of no doubt what ever. In respect to certain waywardness of republican ofliciah , there could bo a ; roat deal said , for instance the expose jf the saline nnd school land frauds , that showed uj ) the rottenness of the old re- ; imo and resulted in theimpcachmont | of David Butler thrice elected governor by lip republican party. Mon who came to his state in rags suddenly became rich under questionable circumstances. Our seat of learning , the university-was erect ed ron , n sandstone foundation , a credit alike to fraud and plunder.- Than there was that building of magnificent proper- ions , with its Immense dome. There is , lso nu ugly rumor concerning our rearm - arm school at Kearney , and there are sto- riosgoing nroundamong the knowingones. haUhoro arocortainpostmnstors who find t convenient to i ctc Up their compoa- fltion with Certain newspaper editors. Chore are other matters wo recall to mind mt tpaco will forbid making mention of At Uiia timo. Now , sir , is it not an unquestioned right of the people of Nebraska to de mand the same advantages and imnmni- .ies as those enjoyed by our sister statu of Iowa , and other commonwealths .hroughout the union ? Our people do not care to see the constant enforcement of measures , 'us carried on by the rail roads CONPOXEU 1IY THE UKl'Ul'UOAN PAUTV ; measures of exaction thut assaults the re sources of the people , and makes thorn entirely subservient to the dictates of railroad corporations , during the total absence of any law that appertains to re strictions with reference to rates of traffic. Is it not time for a change ? The people have submitted to stringent and unreasonable - sonablo extortions long enough. It is full time not to bo deceived again. The people have witnessed the debasing of the many , and the building up of the fa vored few. They have noticed gigantic efforts made in our halls of justice where by the railroads ot Nebraska planned a test case , and prosecuted their suit to a successful termination through arbitrary and suspicious rulings , to evade the pay ment of taxes on their free land grants and thus restrain a great source of inter nal revenue. Still a poor man is cony polledby statutory onactmontsto pay lib taxes , while the highest court in the land exempts railroad corporations from the sfliuu condition. No wonder our courts of justice are now styled courts of injustice tico , Yet there is a time coming when the people will not bear up under such outrage. It is uncontestaMo that ours is a battle for relief against the scourge ol extortion. It is a contest to determine whether tlio people are supreme , or on the contrary Iho railroad corporations. It is a question whether the vital elements of this great state shall remain intact , or else bo broken in twain by the domi nation of monopoly power. Scattered over hill tops , valley ant dale , there is n mighty hostof industrioui men plyingthoir occupation in agriculture , steadily growing aware of the daily im. position and deception as practiced upon them by the leaders of the republican party of Nebraska , nnd the time wil soon have passed when our progressive German citizens will quietly submit to br * * * LED ABOUND BY T1IK NOSJJ' to do the bidding of the republican byp oprits and monopoly sharks , the loading satclites of a party that breeds jnces with all theisms uid sumptuary la wi thai bavo sought to place n barrier over a man's natural rights of Independence , The same party that has suflocatod the will of the people in Nebraska once re leased from the thraldom of slavery 4,000,000 of human beings , still tlio worm when trodden upon trill turn upon his op pressor. And it is juatso with the people plo of Nebraska they will make known their attributes of sclf-dofenso during the coming election this fall at the ballotbox. Wo ask for calm nnd judicious legisla tion , nnd that the present rates ol freight may bo reduced at least twenty per cent. , also that there bo no unjust discrimination between a long nnd short hauls. It is true the coming legislators have n grcnt duty to perform , ono that if both urgent and essential. Under nil circumstances every man should discharge his trust with both firmness nnd impar tiality to adjust rather than evade nil questions of moment and importance. To maintain this ground ia the best , il not the only means of restoring harmony in the ranks of the republican party and also reassure an era of good fooling throughout the stato. Why not bo actu ated by an honest dcsiro to promote n long deferred justice , n useful refonn , en deavor to find redress for public good , to protect the rights and ndvanco the welfare of the whole people , nnd main tain inviolate the integrity and honor of state.

One of the jiggont bonanzas of modern times has joon the Botanical Garden railroad of tlio Janeiro a horsp-cnr railway con necting llio Janeiro with the aristocratic suburb known as the Botanical Garden. Its original capital was $1,000,000 in shares of 3100 each , but ita organizers and original stockholders paid in only $25 a share. In 1882 the shares were rated at $325 each. Quarterly dividends averaging 0 per cent , each were paid upon the stock for some time , ana in April , 1882 , the capital was increased , and each stockholder , upon surronding In's old shares , received in return five times as many now ones , and upon this new capitalization quarterly dividends liavo since been paid at the rate of about eight per cent a year. Ono Mr. Collins , who at the start put in ? 2. COO as a "fly or , "believing that ho waa buying a lottery ticket , made an investment which yielded ever $225,000. In a suit before Judge Donahue a few days ago the shares were estimated as being worth $500 each. The road vras built for loss than $500- 000 , and after paying the dividends some $000,000 was sold for $5,000,000 cash. The street railroads are paying wonder fully in all the Spanish-American cities , and the enterprise of Now Yorkers pro mises to bo turned in this direction. Petroleum V. Nancy , 1) . K.

Where the Recruits Come From and the Causes of EDlisting , Stories Told by nti Old Ilcct-tiltlng Olliccr UcBcrHnu find lie- Enlisting. "Strange stories como to the cars of re cruiting olllcers now nnd then , " said nn ox-sergeant of the regular nrmy , who was stationed at Chicago during several years to enlist soldiers f > r service on the plains "Mon who cheese to go into exile for five years , if they nro intelligent nnt educated , generally Imvo queer reasons for desiring to adopt the life of a sold ' r. " "But do men of that description ever nsk to enlist } " inquired a Daily News reporter. "Occ.uionnlly they do. It is very seldom dom , of course , that ono f thorn actual ! } becomes a private soldier. Many conii into the recruiting ollicp , talk matters ever , and then decide that $1 ! ) a montl and beard is not enough to tempt then out among the Indians nnd bulFalos. " "What are somu of the stories with yoi have heard ? " "Tho most amusing ono was told by n little , thin , melancholy man who weighec nbout n hundred pounds. lie wns dressed in scedy black when ho said hi wanted to enlist. lie said ho wns i schoolteacher from some little town nca : Chicago , but that ho thought it was hi duty as an American to go and fight fo : his country. As tis country was in nc particular danger , I nskcd him why h considered it a mutter of duty to join thj nrmy. Ho ov.idcd the question by in quiring anxiously if ho could take hi wife along. 1 replied that it would b impossible to do BO. His face lightonei up instantly , and ho said , in great do lyht : "Then I'll bo n soldier at all hazards. ' "But ho proved an inch too short fo. army service. Ho grow desperate when ho found it out , and declared ho wouli run nway and never go homo ngain. HL said ho was afraid of his wife and cquh not face her with safety. She was so jealous of him , according to his story that she attended his school every day it order to watch his conduct towards the girls who were his pupils. " 'It was nwful , " said the poor follow , rubbing tears out of his eyes with hit coat-sleeve , "to see her sitting there on n bench glaring at mo , when she ought to have bcoirnt homo doing the housework. How wns I to got along without talking to the girls sometimes ? And because I did talk to thorn didn't I catch it after I got homo ! It got to bo moro than I could jtand. Yesterday she began abusing mo before the whole school. I determined to assert my authority. I called up two of the biggest boys to help mo , nnd then wo three put her out and locked the door on her. I couldn't fjo home nfter doing that , of course , so I came to Chicago. IfI can't bo n soldier I'll turn rirato.1 "Ho wont off sobbing like ono of his own schoolboys , and I never saw him [ gain. Another time a handsome young cllow , with a fine , manly form , came nto the office nnd wanted to enlist. Ho declined to tell anything about his histo- y , but ho appeared nil right except that 10 was rather sullen , and so ho was ac cepted nnd sworn in. Three days after , ward he was taken to Jefferson barracks , ind two weeks later I learned that ho tad committed suicide there. Ho left a etter behind him which told us that he lad murdered his sweetheart somewhere u Indiana two mouths before because ho suspected that she was false to him. The remorse resulting from that crime was moro than he could stand. Another mo-looking young man was accepted by , ho captain nnd the medical examiner , received the oath , and was about to bo ont away , to the barracks , when it was discovered that ho was a hopeless lunatic who had escaped from an asylum. He wns given in charge of n keeper without delay. " Whore do most of the army recruits como from ? " "Tho majority of them nro young irishmen and Germans who have not ) eon in this country very long. Many routlis having a desire to fight Indians , is a result of reading story papers , apply 'or places in the army. Nearly all of .horn are minors , and are not accepted. Men who have committed crimes and are trying to escape punishment frequently enlist as soldiers. Young follows whoso sweethearts have gonp back on them are also quite numerous in the army. The strangest sot of mon who want to become soldiers consists of army deserters. " "Why do they try to get back into the army ? " " They got tired of ohifting for them selves. They generally try to re-enlist nt the approach of cold weather. In most cases the recruiting officers discover that they are deserters and promptly arrest them. The govoniment pays a reward of $30 a head for them Sometimes the re cruiting oflicors made several hundred dollars a month by picking up runaway soldiers who want to got back into the ranks. " "What is the chief cause of desertion from the nrmy ? " It is the manual labor that the soldiers have to do. When they enlist they have nn idea that their whole duties will con sist of marching and drilling. When they find that they have to build forts , dig trenches , nW and cut hay , it is an unpleasant surprise to them. A lazy sol dier soon becomes dissatisfied , and than at his first opportunity ho steals an In dian pony or a govoniment horse and rides away. Young soldiers often run away because they want to see their girls or their parents. Middle-aged men de sert to join their wives and families. Last year there were about 0,000 cases of desertion from tlio army. That is an enormous per cent of all the United Stntos soldiers. " "Do recruiting oflicors practice nny tricks in order to induce unwilling men enlist ? " "I never know of such a thing. There is no reason for trickery. On the con trary they are required to bo very careful to select only willing and suitable men. Every candidate for the army is submit ted to a rigid medical examination , anc if ho is not perfectly sound he is re joctod. " "How many soldiers are enlisted in Chicago every month ? " "The number differs greatly in the various seasons of the year. The average number , I think , is about fifty mon a month. More men enlist in the fall than at any other season. There is no grca call for soldiers at present. There an about eight recruiting otllcea in the wholi country.
