To the Kdltor ol The Ileo
Tlio republican party of Nobraakn ia
radically diseased. 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

ity beyond that conferred upon them by
the people , neglected the main object foi

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.

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

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

steadily growing aware of the daily im.

them by the leaders of the republican
party of Nebraska , nnd the time wil

A now Cold of enterprise is opening in
, ho introduction of American convenien
ces of life into South America , and hand-
omo returns have como from such invest-
uont. Gas-works and horse railroads , as
well as steam railroads , are nmong the
enterprises. Those familiar with the
country claim that in the cities the
average wealth compares favorably
vith North American cities of equal size.
) ut the South American is destitute of
enterprise , although ready to avail him
self of comforts and luxuries aflbrdod and
; o pay for them liberally. 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

"Mon who cheese to go into exile for

"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. Occasionally they are close <
for weeks at a time in order to phut of
the supply of recruits. "
