THE HOLDREGE CONTRIBUTORS.
The names of twonty-two residents of
Holdrcge were for several days paraded
In the Omaha Jicpullican as contrib
utors to the five cent fund- which had
been solicited b'y the 6onvicled libellers.
Wo should ignore this exhibition of stu
pid and childish spleen were it not for
the fact that these names were coupled
wilh an attempted rebukoto The DEB for
Its course with reference to the burning
of the Phelps county court house In the
fall of 1882. While "Ills true that only
four of the twonty-two Indignant
citizens of Holdrogo have sufficient
commercial standing to bo rated In Brad-
street's directory , and ono of these four
Is the keeper of a gin-mill , and whllo wo
believe that the majority of signers were
probably Induced to attach their names
to the paper by some political striker or
roustabout , wo propose to show that there
was nothing disreputable In the BEE'S
comments on the burning of the Phelps
cDunty court house.
The campaign of 1882 was very excit
ing , especially In the Republican Valley ,
The popular fooling against the misrule
of the railroad bosses was intense. Jim
Lmrd had forced his comln&tion
for congress through the republican
convention by the gravel-train brigade ,
With an unlimited supply of blank rail
road passes ho and his henchmen had
raided the valley , bought up mercenaries
and bulldozed homesteaders who would
not follow In his wake. On election day ,
as &t the republican primaries , section
hands were carried on gravel trains from
station to station and voted promis
cuously. Hen who had honestly boon
elected to the legislature by the people
were counted out through repeater ? ,
non-residents and ballot-box sluft'ors ,
This atato of affairs was an open secret ,
and rceentmcnt ran high from one end
of the state to another. In Phelps
county and along the border the raid
upon the polls was represented as simply
outrageous.
The Phelps county court house burned
down a few days after the election , and
when the nowa reached Omaha Ib was
also reported that It was sot on fire for
the purpoco of destroying the ballot boxes
and election records , so as to prevent a
re-count of the votes. Our informants
were residents of the valley and credit
able persons. Wo did not hesitate to
denounce the burning of the court house
as a dastardly outrage which should be
punished to the falleat extent of the law.
Was tho'o anything wrong in such a
course ? Was it not the duty of any honest
journal , when such a report reached it ,
to denounce the perpetrators in vigorous
terms ? That the court housa was burned
was a fast , bat it was afterwards shwon
that the records of the election wore not
destroyed. That fact , however , did not
exonerate the scoundrels who were voting
gravel trains In the valley and sending
railroad cappers to the legislature who
were not elected by the citizens. The
fact that Jim Laird , who carri ° d the B.
& M. railroad passbooksand was the
chief political striker of that corporation ,
came before the legislature when it con
vened and fought the contest on behalf of
the wretched scamp who misrepresented
Phelps county In the legislature of
1883 , speaks for Itself. It shows that the
BEE was engaged In a political contest in
behalfj of the people with a band of
political desperadoes , whoso aim In
politics Is to servo the monopolies and
line their pockets with plunder through
the jobbers and swindlers who Infest the
halls of legislation of Nebraska every two
years. No wonder this class of patriots ,
who ha to the BEE as the devil does holy
water , were delighted with
the vindlotivo and slanderous
harangno of John M. Thurston ,
the champion of monopolists and the
apologist for all the villainies to which
Nebraska has been subjected at their
hands. With this explanation wo leave
the Immortal twenty-two nioklo contribu
tors to their own reflections. Possibly
they will be ashamed of themselves upon
second sober thought.
THE * " DARE NOT DO IT.
More than a week ago the licjiublican
served notice upon Mr. James Croighton
that ho was to bo sued for ten thousand
dollars bacunsa ho declared over his own
siguaturo that its editor has been and is
a tool of the Union Pacific and the paper
has been under the corrupting control cf
a corporate monopoly. In order to give
himself airs and tcbiovo cheap notoriety
the boy editor telegraphed to
the associated proaa that ho
had hrougt a libel suit against
Mr , Croighton. Ho followed It up by
buncombe editorials concerning the dama
ging effect of being stigmatized as a rail
road tool and monopoly henchman. And
now ho Is reproducing the comments of
the Beatrice Express , Lincoln Journal ,
Jim Laird's Hasting ] paper , and kindred
sheets that have been throwing dust Into
the eyes of the people by making bdlovo
that they express the honest and uopur-
chasablo popular opinion , The next
thing ho will qnoto the approving opln >
ions of such champions of the pjoplo and
enemies of monopoly as John M. Thurt-
ton , Church Howe , Ed. Cams and possi
bly Jim Laird himself. The beauty
of the whole business is that up
to this day no libel tult hu
been brought against Mr. Croigh-
on , and It never will bo brought If the
fool-killer gets around to the Itepubllcan
sanctum In time , We don't bdlovo that
they dare go into court with such a suit ,
and wo are confident that if it is brought
it will be withdrawn at the plaintiff's ex
pense just as soon as Mr. Crelghton at
tempts to verify hli charge. It Is simply
preposterous ! Nothing would bo more
Interesting to the paoplo of this city and
state than a trial that would disclose the
true Inward ncs i of tbo conduct of the
Omaha Republican and the pacultar
motor by whloh this railroad organ has
been operated during the past ton years.
It would bo nch , racy and spicy. By the
time the trial was over , the whippersnappers -
snappers who always net up a fearful
bark when the railroad signal Is given' ,
would feel llko crawling fnfb'thotr llttlo
kennols.
HIOII LICENSE , which originated in Ne
braska and proves to bo moro practical
than prohibition , is still gaining ground.
The liquor llconio law of Missouri , which
takes effect to-morrow , hai some Import
ant features. The sailing or giving away
of liquors to minors Is punishable with
severe penalties. The wlno and boor-
honso licenses are repealed , and hereafter
all saloons will bo required to tocuro a
dram-shop license , the minimum license
being $550 and the maximum $1,200 a
year. The reason for this change , as
given In the St. Louis Republican , la
that saloon-keepers In some parts of the
state were in the habit of taking out a
cheap wiao and boor license and then sell
ing all kinds of liquor , to the Injury of
honest llceusses who faithfully observed
the law , All the amendments are In the
direction of the now hiqh'llconso law of
two years ago , and aio intended to sub
ject the retailing of liquors to rigorous
restrictions , partly In the Interest of torn-
pcranco and public order , and partly to
sccuro from the business a liberal reve
nue. The Downing law of two years ago
accomplished much in this direction , as
the manifest decrease of intemperance
throughout the state and the increased
county re venues attest and It la believed
that the amendments will make the sja-
torn still moro efficient.
ACCORDIKO to Mr. Olarkion , who con
trols the agency of the associated press
at Dos Molnca , the inter-stnto commoice
commltteo was greatly pleased at the In
formation and advlco given at Des
Molnes in regard to the regulation of
railroad traffic. Mr. Clarkson takes
pains to Inform the country through the
associated press that nearly all the wit
nessed before the commltteo seemed to
favor federal control of railroads by a
commission , rather than by statute regu
lation. It is this feature , wo take it ,
that pleases the commlttoo as well as Mr.
Clarkson. The railroads nndcr the con
trol of a commission , and the commission
under the control of the railroads , would
bo satisfactory both to the railroads and
the commissioners. The people would
continue to bo fleeced as they now are ,
and Wall Street would continue its lamb-
shearing with its customary neatness and
dispatch.
THE lettar from an offended democrat ,
about offensive partisanship in the Omaha
postoffice , which wo republlsh from the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat , will attract
a great deal of attention in this com
munity. It will open 1 ho eyes of the
democracy to the fact that wo need a
nlghtchool in Omaha for offended dem
ocrats. The case is especially commended
to the boss reformers , Dr. Boydand
Mayor Miller.
L. 0. RICUAIIDS , who
has been living In the Black Hills country
for eome years , since ho left Omaha , is at
Washington with a view of securing a
federal appointment to Alaska. Mr.
Richards was very popular among the
Omahas , and he no doubt will bo equally
so among the Indians of Alaska.

BASEBALL.
A Lively Qitmo Between tlio Omnium
ami Union 1'noUlo Shops OluUa
1Tc8teril y ,
As will bo seen by the score , given below -
low , quite n Hvolyand Interesting game
of base ball was pluyod yesterday after
noon at Athletic park , The rejuvenated
and reorganized Omabas crossed bats
with a nlno from the Union Pacific shops ,
and it Is conceded by ovorjr ono who
was there that thb contest gave moro
satisfactoiy enjoyment aud pleasure to the
spectators than any of the league games
played hero. Of course the shop boys got
badly worsted , IS to 3 , but that was to
bo oxpcctcd when the fact was taken
Into consideration , that n majority of tholr
opponents are professionals in the bosl-
noss. llowovor the shop boys showed
long nerves and did some very good
playing at nil points of the diamond. The
Omaha's had among tholr number four of
the old Union Pacific club , and with
thorn the ntuo proeontcd quito a credit
able display of strength , it was 3 o'clock
when John Withncll , who acted as umplro
called time , and the two cluba took their
places , Trlth the Omnhaa at the bat The
tirat aud second innings were without
special features to create any laudations
over , but both clubs showed that they
were on tholr metal and meant business.
Neither made a run. In the third inning ,
however , the Omahas put their best ef
forts to the front and run up three
scores. This break evidently iittled the
shop boys somewhat , hocauso hi the next
Inning they allowed their antagonists to
make five runs , whllo they
were kept down to nothing ,
until the seventh Inning , and then they
were only ono mark ; and in the last in
ning they managed to count up two more.
McOreary Is to bo credited with having
picked a red hot bill out of tha air with
ono hand and put it to first in fine style ,
and Salabury aistincruishcd himself with
ono or two plays that ollcttud applause
from the spectators. Following is the
