with the hero of his everlasting story ,
since Hon. John D. llinvo has been pro.
meted to bo general solicitor of a groal
railroad ]
Tin ; next Douglas grand jury will liavc
a great deal of work to do , and it is hoped
that the judges will notallow professional
jurymen to come in as substitutes for
the regular panel.
The Union Pacific claims that the B. A
1
M. has dealt it a foul blow na it has struck
it below the Belt. If the Union Pacific
would keep out of prizo-fights it wouldn't
have to yell "foul. "
JUDOE NKVIU.I : , upon the petition of
the B. it M. , has granted another in
junction against the Union 1'icificinclud
ing the Bolt lino. This no dcubt was ne
cessitated by the return of General Man
ager Ilanlon.
TIIUKF of the fourdolcgatcs-nt'largo to
the national greenback convention which
Iowa sends , are J. B. Weaver , "Heifer-
calf" Gillette , and "Calamity" Wollor.
It is almost needless to say that these
great mon are a unit for Bon Butlor.
SENATOR CAMERON , of Pennsylvania ,
who has been in Europe for moro than a
year was expected homo yesterday , and a
good many Pennsylvanians who have boon
trying to run the machine , in hia absence ,
are getting ready to take to the woods.
Gnu AT care ought to bo exorcised on
jTarnam street in digging the trenches
for gas , water and uowor connections.
1'ho earth ought to bo properly tamped ,
otherwise the now pavement will bo

to bo rolaid within twelve months.
THE Herald ventures to nominate the
Honorable Pat Ford aa a candidate for
1 < delegate to the democratic state conven

THE BEIS ventures to nominate the Hon
orable Pat Ford for that position.
JAY GOULD has appeared on the scene
to give hia explanation of the Now York
panic. Ho says it was caused by the
bears. There is , on the other hand ,
however , arido spread belief that if
Mr. Gould had kept his watering pot at
homo there never would have boon any
trouble.
Tun Now York Jlcrald has boon ob
taining the 'viowa ' of various otato gov
ernors , on the burning questions of the
day. Gov. Sherman's ' viowA as to whore
the now Iowa insane usyluji should bo
located , have not yet boon given. If the
Jlcrald has a pump utrong enough to
bring out this , wo should like to BOO it.
A FEW days ago Postmaster Boardsloy ,
of Itock Island , sent out n story that an
attempt had boon made to rob his ollico ,
which ho had prevented at great personal
risk. Recent developments , however ,
tend to show that no such event as ho do-
ecribod over occurred , Has Mr. Boards-
ley been imitating Wliittakor's oxploita
on his cars , or has ho had n cano of Illi
nois jim jams ?
WHENEVER a lawyer graduates from
mediocrity into the rank of recognized
ability , ho is sure to got a goodborth with
some railroad. The BBB congratulatce
Mr. John D. Howe upon his appointmonl
as general ( solicitor of the Chicago , Minne
apolis , St. Paul & Omaha railway sys.
h tern. Mr. Howe enjoys an oxcollonl
reputation and the people of Omaha and
Nebraska will regret his departure. ,
IT had boon hoped by hia friends thai
norno ariangemont could bo made bj
which Henry Ward Beocher could bo s
delegate to the national republican convention >
vontion , but it now appears that there
csnbenone. There will bo no proxies ,
and substitutes for delegates cm only be
made by the convention itself. There
will still bo a good chunco left for Honrj
to pray for the convention , however , if hi
wants to bo of service.
RIOIIT after the defeat of the Morriaor
bill it was announced that Morrison'i
friends would iesuo a flaming address 01
the tariff question which would fire thi
democrats all over thu country. Ncarl ;
'
two weeks have passed but the addrcs'

that tlio scheme ia dead. None but th
immediate followero of Morrison couli
bo induced to sign it. It waa oxpeeUx
that it would read Ilandall and his riii ;
entirely out of the party. Apparontlj

Tllti ANTI-MONOPOLISTS AS
In the winter of 1883 n call was issue
for n national anti-monopoly conforonc
for the purpose of devising concerto
measures that would check the aggrcssio
of corporate monopolies upon the Anicti
can people. The conference wns to moe
at Chicago on the Fourth of July to prc
mulgftto a second declaration of indc
pendcnco nnd arouse a spirit of rosistanc
to the despotic rule and greed of organi
zed monopoly. The head nnd front c
this movement was n political adventure
by the name of Post , who occupied
room in the attic of n third rate Cliicng
hotel , from which ho had boon bombard
ing thonational bankBpulvomingthorut
potrcr , and preaching spiritualism , woma
sulTrngo and other "iatns" through
roadorloss wookly.
At the time this national conference c
anti-monopolists was called , there ha
boon no distinct anti-monopoly party 01
jnimcd in any stnto or territory , oxcopl
Ing ftlono in Nebraska. And up to th !
day Nebraska is the only state in th
union that has an organized anti
monopoly party which has fought cam
paigns as tnich. California had its anti
monopoly constitutional party , but i
dissolved as soon as the main objec
which had called it into life had been accomplished
complishod by the adoption of the nov
constitution. Now York 1ms its anti
monopoly league , with F. B. Thurbor a
its acknowledged loader , but it ha
simply sought to defeat monopoly candi
dates , on whatever party ticket they won
nominated , by massing votes agains
them.
Anti-monopoly leagues and farmcra
alliances exist in Now Jersey , Kansas
[ owa , Minnesota and other states , bu
.hoy never have attempted to act as ai
ndopondont party , oven in local cam
laigns
When the conference mot at Chicagi
n July , it was , as might have boon ox
looted , a motley crowd , llko Macbeth'
witches , of black spirits and white , gra ;
pirita and blue. There wore a largi
lumber of groonbackors , intent only upoi
the demolition of national banks. Then
wore rampant froo-traders and rank pro
octionists. There werowoman-BuU'ragists
) rohibitionists , personal liberty mon , Bol
Ingorsoll atheists and mon wh <
vanted God in the constitution. Last
> ut not leant , there was DennisKoarnoy
with his running mate , who had como al
ho way from California to drive the
Chinese out and advocate the right of tin
railroads to charge what they ploaao ai
eng as they pay good wages to thoii
workingmon. Then there wore cranki
of both sexes who wore moro fit for t
unatic asylum than for n political con.
vontion. No wonder that the conference
was a perfect babel , where everybody
wanted to talk and nobody could make
limsolf understood. After an angry debate
bate , Kearney and his pals wore kickoi
out by common consent as hireling dis
.urbors . , This was about the onlyaonaibli
hing that the conference did. The res
olutions which were adopted and pub
( shod as the sense of the conference wen
n fact moro stereotyped platitudes , with
out an oricinnl r tangible idea upon anj
vital issue. The only substantial poinl
; aiuod was a scheme to merge the defuncl
groonbackors and anti-monopolists into t
now party that was to bo called into lift
during the presidential year.
About sixty daya ago another call wai
asuod for a national anti-monopoly convention
vontion to put a presidential ticket ii
.ho field. It waa an open aocrot , whoi
Una call waa issued , that it was nothing
moro nor loss thanaschomo to put up Boi
Butler aa the combination candidate o
anti-monopoly , groonbackHin , labor ro.
brm , woman suffrage , protection , rove
ino reform , prohibition , free whiskey
and democracy. The anti-monopoly con
vcntion , Bo-callod , was purposely no
iho.id of all other national convention !
no aa to force the nomination of Butlei
upon the democracy as the only candidati
upon whom all elements in opposition ti
horopublicans could combine. Meanlimi
ho audacious demagogue had himsol
elected as a dolcgato at largo from Mas.
achusotts to the national democratic con
volition. The so-called national anti-mo
lopoly convention was a great deal mon
of a fraud than n farce. The delegate :
did not represent one-half the states ii
the union. Moat of them had no otho
credentials than their own statement
or appointments made by themselves
So primary olcctionaoro called , or conventions
vontions hold anywhere to oloot them
delegates. In many instances their onlj
claim to being anti'inouopoliata was tha
they were opposed to the existing orde
of things. Even in Nobrnskn , where tin
party has an organization nnd a largo uni
rcnpoctablo following , the delegates won
appointed by some half-dozen mombon
of the state committee. To the credit o
Nebraska delegates , bo it said , thny dii
not clamor for Butlor.
The cut and dried programme whicl
Ben Butler's henchmen have forced upoi
the convention , arouaod a great deal o
indignation , but the convention had booi
packed and the gagged delegates had in
other recourse than n bolt. The fao
that the convention did not nominate i
candidate for vico-preeidont shows on it
toco that this waa merely a put-up job ii
the interest of Ben Butlor. That wil ;
schemer oxpock to trade the vioo-prcai
doncy for all it ia worth in the nationn
democratic convention. Thoanti-monorj
oliats are to bo uicd simply as a cat'a-pai
to pull his chestnuts out of the firo. Thi
is certainly a humiliating position for tru
anti-monopolists to occupy , but nothin
bolter could have been expected from
movement gotten up prematurely b ;
designing mon who have nothing in coni
mou with thocauso of onti-monopoly. Ben
Butler himself la the last man that cai
l y any claims io the suppmt oi moi
who oppose the encroachments of corpor
atomonopoly. Ho has atnoaaed millions a
a corporation lawyer and haa never don
anything in congress to rcliovo the pro
ducora. On the contrary , ho waa alway
on hand to vote a subsidy , or to grant ;
charter. True , ho haa of late pretondci
to bo a convert to the greenback nni
labor reform doctrine , but his convcrsioi
ia a moro slmm. With him it haa boon i
rule through life , that the end justific
the means , and the end with him ia i
ho president , no matter how or by wha
methods. _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ _
WHO IS HESVONSlnLF. !
Omaha ia juat now being donouncc <
far and wide for the brtital prize figh
that waa originated in thia city. Ncarl ;
every paper in this state ia pointing t
Omaha aa the headquarters of rowdyian
nnd depravity , nnd most of them chargi
the roaponaibility for the prlzo-fight am
subsequent shooting affray directly npor
the city and county authorities. Some o
the papers , however , fltriko the nail 01
the head by making the managom of tin
Union Pacific railroad equally culpabli
with the ollicors of the law. The Fro mon
Tribune indulge-j in the following pointci
comment on this disgraceful nfluir ;
The prize fight which occurred noai
Vitlloy the other day between Fell ani
Ilnnly ! _ wns certainly the most disgrace
fnl affair that over occurud in Nebraska
Not only did the two contestants figh
until they vrnro bloody , bniiscd nnt
beastly , but nfter the nffnir broke up tin
crowd of roughs present to witness tin
"mill" indulged in u free for all fight
Whiskey ( lowed freely nnd revolver !
were flourished conspicously. On thi
train going back to Omaha thrco met
were shot and several fighta indulged ii
making n spectacle which disgraces tin
fair nnino of Nebraska and is a travoat ;
upon civilization and decency. Thi'
affair waa advertised to taki
place at Omaha but for once the author !
ties of that city were vigilant enough t <
prevent its occurrence there. This , however
over , did not put a stop to it. The man
ngors chartered n Union Pacific train nm
ran out in the country by night. Thi
railroad company , therefore , should b <
held responsible for this disgrncp. The ]
must have known just what their oxcur
nion train was wanted for at that untitno
ly hour and they made it possible for tin
bloody work to go on they were j > arli
ccpa cnniiniH How long are wo to bi
reproached for these disgraces ? Hov
long are decent pcoplo to suffer sue !
igtionrny.
Our Fremont cotomporary is ominotl ;
correct. There could have boon no prize
fight in Saunders county without tin
connivance of the railroad managers ,
The people of that county are now goinf
to bo put to the expense of crimina
trials which will burden thorn witl
needless tnxos. It was well onoDgl
understood among the pugilistic eloinoir
bhat the prize-light ahould not tnko place
in thia county if the railroads would ac
comodato them.
Now that Messrs. Ames and Adam :
liavo como all the way from Boston te
inaugurate railway aorvlco reform it wil !
bo eminently proper for them to ascertain
tain who among their local officials allowcc
hia sympathy with prize-ring bullies ti
go so far aa to equip a special train ti
carry the bruisora. Whoever that mai
may bo ho certainly has placed the roac
in n very unenviable light , and haa showr
himaolf unfit for the responsible positloi
which ho holds.
THAT Omaha is sound financially to tin
core has again been shown during tin
past week by the atability of our banki
and business houses in the fnco of a finau
cial crash that proved moro or less dians
troua in many other citlea. Kunaaa Citj
nnd St. Joe , for instance , have boaatct
of the solidity of their capitalists , but
now , aa in 18711 , they were unable t (
stand the severe strain. St. Joe lind embank
bank failure , and Kansas City banks won
on the verge of going under , onlj
escaping suspension by offering to jiaj
depositors twenty cents on the dollar nne
giving certified checks for the balance.
HAH anybody heard from General How
nrd ? Wo would like to know whether hi
has reached Khartoum yet nnd roliovec
Ohinoso Gordon.

calls a Httlo incident that occurred during th
ttmo I wni operating In the south during th
war , " said nn old telegraph operator. "Bon
jamln wai piealng through Alabama on hi
way homo from Washington , over the old Vlr
glularoad. toMotnphia. At Stevenson , whor
I was nt work , I wont into the train to deliver
liver him n tolcgratn. I found him cngngoi
in n big poker game with n pile of twenty dnl
lar gold piocca In front of each player. H
wns rather n- dark comploxloued man , \vitl
mnsalvo head nud broad Bhouldors , and wa
about five feet nnd cif lit inches in height. Ii
tho.io days ho was coualdorod the best debate
In the Unltoil States. Win. L. Ynnotty , i
liro-oatitij ( southerner from Alabama , was nls
on the tram. I had imagined from his roputatioi
that ho wan n lierco looking giant. I wa ?
therefore , coiisldtrably surprised to find hin
small in alntuto , not moro lluu live feet am
five inches in height , and a very mild maueroi
man. Ha was regarded u.i the most fiery o
the fire-eaters. "
"Tho refusal of Uarl Schurz to accept

made It the rule of his Ufa not to accept proa
onts. When ho waa scuator from Missouri
some CallfornianB sent his wife n boautlfu
and costly casket of jewels ns n token of the !
appreciation of the Ronator'H vote on some im
portatit mnasuro iu which they \vcro intcrea
tod. Ho immediately told his wife ti rotun
it as ho could not receive any gift while ii
office , nnd the casket was accordingly re
turnoJ. I know of other similar instances. "

Schurz everything looked favorable for

nskod. 'That man , ' said ho , 'is the wreck o :

Ha } os was , nud when Carl Schurz wai
named for a place iu the cabinet there was a
grnat deal oi opposition to him. I called oi
Schurz iu Washington aud said , ' 'It looks in

Morton , Conkling anil Logan. " "You are mis
taken m ouo of the men , " said ho ; "lilnino
Coukl'tig nm ! Logan , it is true , are opposin |
mo , but Motton is all right. " The uoiiat
finnly confirmed Schurz. A suuatrtr , who was
Httlo moro leaky than was norhaps rustc
mury , lot the cat out of the bag. Morto
turned in and made a fight in the oxecutiv
session in favor of Si-hutx , Kvarts aud Key *
who were objected to very strongly. 131am
was most bitter in his opposition , but th
majority overruled him. It will also bo re
membjred that Blaluo's first speech on th
floor of the fonato wns an assault on Hayci

"During the nuxc republican nations

the same politician , "I was in the parlors c
