NEBRASKA has doubled in population
since General Van Wyck was sent last to
the senate. The old gang who have made
it their business to throw mud at an hon
est and able representative of the inter
ests of the west \yill play second liddlo in
the coming campaign. The fanners and
merchants of Nebraska who have watched
only the splendid record which the senior
senator has made nt Washington will bo
found on hand when the time comes to
work and vote for the man of their choice.
The barnacles and shysters will bo retired
with a loud thud. The popular verdict is
to win the day.
ONE of the railroad papers in this state
published not many miles from Grand
Island has mndo the wonderful discovery
( hut the BEE has turned a somersault on
the railroad question. "While for years
it has mndo strong opposition to railroad
/subsidies / , it is now the chief advocate ot
Viin Wyck's sohcmo to give the Union
Pacific $3,000,000 from tint government
treasury to build branches. It U tilso a
Vigorous advocate for nn appropriation
to Improve the Missouri , river. " An in
dictment of this nature coming from rail
road quarters iq wllhtn itself sullloient
proof that wo have not gone over to the
brass foliar and subsidy brigade.
On , the face of it the accusa
tion boars evidence of a do-
lgn to mislead nnd distort facts.
The DEB has not endorsed any scheme of
" subsidy to the Union Pacific and no such
ohomo has been Introduced by Senator
k Van Wyck. The senator did Introduce a
* bill in February which meets our ap
proval but does not satisfy .tho railroad
managers. That bill does not propose to
donate any money to the Union Pacific.
It simply allows the company to invest
money now to its credit in the sinking
1 fund in the construction of its brunches ,
The bill expressly provides that the gov
ernment shall practically own nnd con.
trol the branches until the money is re
funded ; and it furthermore prohibits the
issuance of any bonds or stock beyond
the actual cost of the roads to
bo built. This bill was introduced
as au effective answer to the cry that Van
Wyck and the anti-monopolists were
crippling the road in its cll'ort to develop
' the state It was a short and direct way
out of the woods , and left no excuse for
pushing the funding bill scheme which is
calculated to cripple the state by legal-
icing fraudulent debts that will compel
the company to maintain exorbitant
rules. As to Missouri river improvement
wo plead guilty and will not dignify with
tt answer the hypocrites and pharlsres
who have raised this point. Tlio people
i : fll Nobrn&ku cannot bo hoodwinked by
them. The- fact that this class of papers
rwcivo very little or no popular fcupjuprl
i nny locality shows that they are de
riving nobody by their mnsqucrado as ,
v kouost advocates of tlio publlu interest.
The fssno nt Finn tlldgo.
Tito true inwardness of Agent Mr.Uillt-
cuddy's departure from Pihc Hidgo is
very clearly sot forth in tlio letters pub
lished in this issue of the Hr.E. The issue
was pointed. It was clearly defined in
the letter of Dr. McOllllcuddy to the
commissioner of Indian affairs. The de
cision was left entirely in the hands of
the Indian department , and the agent
had nothing to do but to abide by the re'
still. The tnnnly and straightforward
course which Dr. McCJllllcuddy has pur
sued during all hi * years of persecution
nt I'ino Kidgcwas maintained to the end ,
Ho recognized that much of ills use
fulness had been duo to the
cfllclcncy of Ins subordinates and
when tlio issue came whether a faithful
clerk . lioitld bosummarily : discharged be
cause his place was needed by another to
pay oil'tlio political debts of the adminis
tration , ho promptly offered his own neck
for the political guillotine. Dr. McGllli-
cuddy indignantly denounces as trans
parent lies the telegraphed reports of the
causes for the removal of Chief Clerk
Urown and that pressure was brought
upon him to sacrifice his clerk and by so
doing to retain his position. He strips
the issue of all concealing drapery
and leaves it plain and bare. Are faith *
fulness and eflldoney in the public ser
vice to count for nothing , and is
civil service reform an.y thing more
than a sham and a pretense ?
Tlio general interest which this section
of the West has taken in the fights of
Agent McGHlicuddy has been due to its
knowledge of the remarkable executive
ability of the doctor and the results which
his firm and wise administration of af
fairs at Pine Kidgo has accomplished in
preserving peace among the discordant
factions of the Ogallala Sioux. No agent
has over been so persistently investigated ,
abused and hampered iu his work. Ho
leaves Pine Kidge with a record which
cannot bn assailed , not as the result of
the sneaking efforts of the frauds and
cheats whom ho has made tils en mics.
but through a conllict which ho pushed
to an issue , knowing well that the ending
would bo end of his twenty years snrvico
under the government.
Ail Uncalled for AsHnult.
Governor West , the newly appointed
governor of Utah , is now being roundly
abused by the rabid Gentiles of that terri
tory , because lie recently made a visit to
the penitentiary and assured the impris
oned polygamists of a presidential par
don if they would admit their error ana
pledge themselves to future obedience to
the laws of the United States.
Tliis action of the new governor was a
wise and a proper one. So far from be
ing a fit subject for criticism , it is deserv
ing of warm commendation. Gover
nor West was sent to the ter
ritory to enforce tlio laws , not
to persecute Mormons. The charge
has been continually made against
the representatives of the government at
Salt Lake by the Mormon leaders that
the suppression of polygamy lias been
less the object of federal officials than
the destruction of a religious sect. Gov
ernor West , as wo know ; lias no sym
pathy with polygamy. But he has as
little respect for oppression which
masks itself behind federal authority ,
backed by the bayonets of the regular
army. In visiting the deluded men who
feel that tlioy are martyrs to a religious
principle , and in endeavoring to show
them that the now regime at Salt Lake
would look only to upholding the
laws by the punishment and
not the persecution of fanatical
law breakers , the governor did nothing
of whicli he need feel in the least
ashamed , or which reasonable men will
bo disposed to criticise. The howl of
the rabid anti-Mormons was to bo ex
pected. A peaceful settlement of the
troubles in Utah is the last thing they de
sire. The gang at the head of the Salt
Lake Tribune , who have preached the
gospel of hate for the past ton years , and
who have made solid dollars by pander
ing to a contentious gentile clement ,
would find their occupation gone if wise
and judicious management should take
the polygamy issue out of Utah politics.
Morosllovonue Needed.
Omaha lias now become a city that'ro-
quires increased revenue for the pro
tection of life and property and tlio main
tenance of good order. Wo must , at no
distant day , double our police force , in
crease our Hro department , build now
engine houses and erect police stations in
various parts of the city. Wo cannot do
this with our present income without giv
ing up tlio needed improvements which
tax our treasury every your.
The trouble is that , our assessments are
levied only upon Iho property of the
poor and the middle class , while the mil
lionaires and big corporations com
promise tiieir assessments or , ns in
many cases , pay no taxes at nil. To
raise moro revenue the eounty commis
sioners and the council need not make a
general raise of the assessment roll ,
They simply must stop reducing assess
ments on the heavy real estate owners ,
and bring to tlmo men and corporations
that do not list their property. Tlio way
these big tax shirkers , who own large
tracts of land in this city do , is to appear
before the commissioners with a protest
against the enormous increase of the as
sessment , when In fact the selling price
of the property is from ton to fifteen
times greater than the assessment. A
few Instances will illustrate.
A party who sold a lot for $1,000
in South Omaha last year , re
served a lot adjoining it which is now
held for $3.m IJoth of these lots were
assessed last year at $120. The as
sessor has probably raised the assessment
on these lots to ? 250 this year , which is
one-tenth of their market value , but Mr.
Nabob will presently appear before the
commissioners and complain that his as
sessment lias boon raised a hundred per
cent when in fact the assessment nt one-
fourth would bo $025 , or 125 per cent
more than it is assessed.
A prominent lumber man has just
bought a line of lots for ? ao,000. Last
year they were assessed at$33 each , or
about $1C03 , foi the entire numbor. This
year these lots will probably bo assessed
at $110 apiece , or about $1,300 for lots
that have sold for $30,000. Uut if those
lots had boon hold by twelve poor men
with a cottage on each they would have
bccn'assesscd at a third of their full cash
value.
There aro'thoueiinds pf iots'fo this city
that have Ucoii'sold on' contract. Th'o
purchasers pay the realty taxes and "tho
owners'thouior.tgago notes , but not a
dollar is returned on the personal proper
ty by the note holders.
There is not another city iti the eoim *
try with Omaha's pretensions which is
burdened with the expenses of carrying
on a city government with such a
wretched revenue. All this comes from
under valuation , and general tax shirk
ing.Outside
Outside of the city , matters are oven
worse. Tlio assessors ignore entirely the
enormous increase in values in the addi
tions which border on the city limits.
Lots held at ? 1,000 apiece nro assessed by
the aero at from SoO to $73 for every four
lots. Largo tracts , divided and subdi
vided , pay farm land taxes. The com
missioners to-day claim to bo unable to
make the most necessary Improvements ,
and yet they allow speculators and-Byn-
dlcatcs to shirk their proper proportion
of the taxes.
There must bo an end put to this
thing nt once. No reasonable cxcttsd
can bo given for this unjust system of
making the poor boar the burdens of the
rich , of making honest tax-payers pay
the taxes duo from dishonest tax
shirkers. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ „
A Christina HoclnllHt.
The pastoral lottisr of Bishop Ilonry D.
Potter , on the relations of rich and poor
to the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal
dioccso of Now York , i.s in ollbct a plea
for Christian socialism , which is attract
ing the attention which such a timely
and manly expression of modern thought
deserves , The bishop draws attention to
the early days of the church , when com
munity of possessions was the rule among
believers , and when "tho multitude of
them that believed were of 0110 heart and
one soul ; neithersaid ; any of them that
aught of the things which ho possessed
was his own , but that they
had all things in common. " Ho says :
Let It to granted without icservo that such
words describe an era ot enthusiasm which ,
with its consequent community of posses
sions , could not hist any more thnn it would
have been for the greatest good of the great
est number thnt It s'liould last. Still , the tact
remains that Christianity brought Into the
world a new law ot brotherhood , and both by
picccnt and example taught men thnt they
whoso was the stewardship of exceptional
'jlfts , whether of rank , wealth , learning or
cleverness , were not to treat them as their
own , but as a trust tor the whole community.
. . . .AVhat the laborer wants from his em
ployer Is fair and tr.iterunl deall list , not alms
giving , and a loco uitlon of the manhood
rather than a condescension to his Inferior
ity. And It Is at this point that tlio outlook
Is most discouraging. The growth of wealth
among us has Issued not In binding men to
gether , but In driving them apart. The rich
nrefiirtlior from the poor , the employer from
his workmen , capital from labor , now than
everbetoro. Too many know less and less
how tlio poor live , nnd clve little time or
none nt all to efforts to know. The wage of
the laborer may be , doubtless In most eases
it Is. larger than It was thirty years
ago ; but his wants have grown
more rapidly than hisvaces , and
Ids opportunities forgratifylui ; them arc not
more numerous , but less. He knows moro
about decent llvlnc , but his home is more
costly. Ills mental horizon has been wid
ened , but fit food for U Is no more accessible.
Instincts and aspirations have been awak
ened Iu him which are certainly as honora
ble In him as in those more favorably situat
ed , but wealth does little either to direct or to
satisfy them. Tlio manners of the poor , It Is
said , are moro Insolent and uncraclotif than
of old to the rich , and this discourages efforts'
to know and serve them. I do not see why
poverty should cringe to wealth , which Is as
often as otherwise an accidental distinction ,
and quite as often a condition unadorned by
any especial moral or Intellectual excellence.
Uut wo may be sure that the manners of the
poor , If they be Insolent , are learned from
these of people whose opportunities should
at least have taught them that no nrroganco
Is more insufferable or unwarrantable than
that of mere wealth.
Language such as this from a clergy
man whoso life has been principally
passed among the wealthy in the most
fashionable church in Now York , is re
markable. But it comes with all the
moro force from a man whoso position
has given him the best opportunity for
studying the attitude of the rich towards
tlio poor in the largest orgunizod com
munity 6f American society. Bishop
Potter sees clearly that what is needed is
not so much laws regulating strikes' and
inflicting penalties on these who organ
ize resistance to individual liberty , drill
ing regiments and perfecting police.
These are temporary remedies to check
outbreaks of disease which cannot eradi
cate the evil itself. Ho urges , and rightly
urges , that such steps do not make the
state secure. Its safety and welfare are
not in these things , "it is the content
ment and loyalty of its people , " and
these must como by a far different path.
A now gospel must bo preached , nnd
this is the message which the bishop de
sires that his clergy shall bring to their
hearers :
When capitalists nnd employers of labor
have forever dismissed the fallacy , which
may be true enough In the domain of politi
cal economy , but is essentially false In the
domain of religion , that labor nnd laborer are
alike a commodity , to be bought and sold ,
employed or dismissed , paid or underpaid ns
the innrUetshall decree ; when the Interest nf
workmen ami master shall have been owned
by both ns one , and the share of the laboring
man shall bo somethliur more than a uieie
wage ; when the principle of a Joint Interest
In what Is produced of all the brains nnd
hands that go to produce it In wisely nnd gen
erously recognized ; when the well-being of
our follow men , their homes and food , their
pleasures and their higher moral and spirit
ual necessities , shall be seen to bo mat
ters concerning which wo may not
daio to say , "Am I my brother's
keeper ? " then , but not till then , may
wo hope to heal those uravo social divisions
concerning which there need to bo among ns
all , ns with Israel of old , ' -groat searching of
heart , " No Christian man can innocently be
Indifferent to tlio inteiests-of working men
and women ; wealth brings with It a definite
responsibility , llrst to know how best to nsj It
to .servo others ns well as ourselves , and then
resolutely to set about doing It ; luxury has its
decent limits , mm we in this land are in
danger in many directions of overstepping
those limits ; class chinches and class dis
tinctions of kindred kinds have nearly de
stroyed In the hearts of many of the poor nil
faith In the genuineness of a religion whoso
founder declared : "All ye are brethren , "
but whoso disciples moro often seem by their
acUtosny : "Stand thou there , " "Trouble
mo not , " when their brethren remind them
not merely of tliolrmanlfold needs , but of
their just rights.

A Wecplnir Water correspondent asks the
Kcpubllcan to publish the facts concerning
the course of Van Wyck In the Valentine
campaign In the Third district some years

between the republicans nnd democrats In
this state. The correspondent is a late ar

the history of our politics.
Tlio warfare of the Van Wyck faction noon
Valentino began tnimy years ago , springing
from the refusal of Valentine , then newly
elected to congress , to submit to the
dictation of Hoscwalor in the mat
ter ot appointments. Aft r the elec
tion of Van Wyck to the senate , Valentino
became more than over opposed to the ends
and alms of the Van Wyck faction , nnd , beIng -
Ing very popular In Washington with the
administration and the department , gener
ally succeeded In carrying Ids points. As a
consequence of the contention thus formed
andcniiied on , the Van Wyck faction in the
spring of 1882 began the public light against
Valentino which ended In n so-called "bolt"

from ( i fight when it is forced upon mo.
This attempt on the part of Mr. Valen
tine's fool friend to hold mo , personally
responsible for the warfare upon Valen
tine , as ho is pleased to call It , compels
mo to meet the issue nquaroly over my
own mime. I do this not only for the
bonclit of the imaginary Weeping Water
patriot , but for the republicans who have
como to this slnto within , the past live
years. Those newcomers might bo mis
led by the twnddlo of Mr. Valentino's
former clerk , who can only see in him a
great anil good man , who deserves the
highest hotuirs within tlio gift of the puo-
plo of Nebraska. For the present 1 will
confine myself to the points at issue , leav
ing ; iu outline history of Valentine's ca
reer for some other day.
First nnd foremost , I most emphatically
deny that 12. K. Valentino has ever had u
chance to refuse me a favor , politically
or otherwise. I challenge him to pro
duce a scrap of paper with my signature
or a credible witness to sustain even the
shadow of a pretence that ever I ap
plied to him for political favors lor
anybody , least of all myselt. 1 deny most
emphatically that he has ever been in a
position to do mo such favors or to prevent
favors from anv administration to my
friends. His advent in congress was
during the term of Hayes , who never
was disposed to cater to Valentino.
1'rusident Arthur , time and tlmo again ,
snubbed him by appointing Van Wyck
republicans in the face of his protests ,
lint I am putting the cart before the
iiorsc.
Valentino's candidacy for congress
was brought about Dy the pohcal mana
gers of the Union Pacific , who were then
taking more interest in Nebraska con
ventions than they wore in running a
railroad. Two years before , in 1870 , Jay
Gould and Sidney Dillon were in Omaha
in person to bulldoze a republican con
vention into nominating their preferred
candidate for congress. After a four
days' struggle with their hench
men the convention surrendered
and a ticket , dictated by tlio Union
Pacific bosses , was nominated.
Against this outrage a very loud remou-
monstrance wont up from the republican
masses. The ticket received general sup
port under protest. When Congressman
Welsh died In the fall of 1878 , the Union
Pacific managers naturally nicked out
Valentine ab the most available man for
their purposes. Itaforq his candidacy
was made public , ' Valentino called upon
mo and incidentally , as it wore , men
tioned that his friends were urging him
to become a candidate for congress. "I
hardly know what to do , " ho said. "I am
afraid , that the Union Pacific and Hitch
cock will fight me. " Valentino did. not
deceive me , however , lhadconlidcntially
learned , before ho called , that Mr. S. H.
II. Clark , then general manager of the
Union Pacific , was making a still hunt
for Valentino. If necessary 1 can name
the informant.
When the convention met at Lincoln it
became manifest that the Union Pacific
faction was in the minority , -Judge
Cronnse had a clear field to ino nomina
tion had it not been for Jay Gould's cor
ruption fund , and the little job pul up
by George W. Post , who hold back his
delegation from Cronnse until the rail
roads had got their work in.
The day after the convention my first
caller was Albinus Nance , who had boon
nominated for governor with Valentine.
Mr. Nanco called to urge upon mo the
advantage and propriety of supporting
Mr. Valentino. "Tho BEE will support
the whole ticket , " said I , "although I
don't approve of tlio methods by which
Valentino was nominated. I have al
ready written my editorial and have it in
typo. " Mr. Nanco had hardly loft the
olbce when Senator Paddock put in an
appearance. "I hope you will not go
back on Valentino , " said the senator ,
"we want harmony in the party. I am
sure Valentino will treat you and all republicans
" "Well senator " said
publicans fairly. , ,
I. "my editorial in support of the whole
ticket is in typo. You can look nt the
proof. " The senator expressed himself
gratified. He had not been gone thirty
minutes , when Valentine appeared. Ho
took special pains assure mo that as con
gressman ho would know no faction all
republicans should rcceiyo fair treatment
and due recognition.
When tlio campaign was over and the
ticket had been elected by the usual ma
jority , the duplicity and treachery of
Valentino soon became manifest. Before
he had taken his seat in congress ho com
menced nbushwacking campaign against
every republican who did not train with
the Union Pncillo gang. When Judge
Cronnse was urged tor collector of inter
nal revenue Valentino made desperate
efforts to defeat his appointment. No
valid reason could be advanced against
him. His competency , integrity and re
publicanism were unquestioned. In spite
of Valentino Judge' Cronnso was ap
pointed. Then Valentino tried to obstruct
and defeat his confirmation , but fulled
signally. Other reputable republicans
received similar treatment. When Hon.
BrunoTs/.ohuok was appointed supervis
or of the federal census in Nebraska in
1880 Valentino bitterly opposed him. Tlio
only possible charge which could be made
was that Mr. Ts/.ehuck had twice boon
nominated over Valentino for secretary
of state. No charge that ho was dis
honest , incompetent or disloyal to the
party could be brought against him. This
is the way that Valentino kept his pledge
to'treat all republicans fairly.
That Valentino was fraudulently and
corruptly nominated for the first term had
been we'll established , Only a few days
ago , in looking through gome political
scraps , I found the following memoran
dum ;
Pat O. Hawca paid Fitch , of Florence , 5100
at the convention of 1878 for his vole for
Valentine , 850 In advance and S50 after Val
entino's nomination. The money was paid
Hawes by John M. Thurston. Houck was
olfercd 200 for Ids vote for Valentine.
Florence is m this county and Fitch
was n delegate elected in opposition to
tlio Union Pacific faction. This little
memorandum was some months after
Fitch's election , and I presume only re
fers to a small part of the boodle which
Thurotou disbursed nt Lincoln to beat
CromiBo. , .
When Valentino cnmo up for second
term I would hardly have been justified
in supporting bin , but I did supp9rt him-
under protest at least I made .no light on'
him , because it wna feared that tlio repub
licans might lese the presidency by losing
the houso. The revolt against Valentine
In 1883 was very coneral. His record
had been anything mil reputable. His
relations to monopolies and jobbers wore
notorious , nnd his appointments wore
generally disapproved. The fact that
over 7,000 republicans in Iho district re
fused to support Valentino shows how
widespread was Iho disaffection , For
this neither Senator Van Wyck nor my
self can bo hold responsible- h hardly
worth while for mo to refute all the bare
faced misstatcmcnU of Mr. Valentino's
champion. His attempt to represent
Valentino ns n great power at Washing
ton Is supremely ridiculous. Was ho
very popular or inllnontial with Hayes
or any of his cabinet olHcers ? Everybody
knows better. All ho could do under
Hayes was to carry on little intrigues in
tlio postal route service. Was ho agreat
power under Arthur ? If so , why tiki ho
not prevent the appointment of Tszohnck
to Vcru C'ruwhich Mr. Arthur told mo
personally was made in spite of Valen
tino's protests ? Why did ho not prevent
half n dozen appointments to land offices
nnd other positions which were equally ob
noxious to him ?
But what does Valentino want now ?
Hasn't the party done enough for him ?
Do the people owe him a living , or is Ins
corrupt and demoralizing leadership in
such demand ns to make him a neccos-
sary factor in the parly's advancement ?
In conclusion lot me say that I have
nothing to take back about Valentino. I
opposed him for a third term because 1
knew him to bo unworthy to represent the
state and party. I should oppose him
Justus vigorously in the future for any
other office within the gift of the party or
people. E. KosiwATiit. :
