What our people want Is a visit from the railroad itself. A direct cut to Fremont or Hooper would bo worth thousand * of dollars annually to our citizens. Tin : reorganized Itcpubtican drops its mask und takes the old monopoly stand which it has occupied for so many years , Its appeal for "straight oods , " coupled with attacks on Van Wyek , show thu way the wind is blowing in that quarter.3 | L'KINCI : WALDEMAH'S royal father has declined for his son the liulgarmn suc cession. Wnldomar has an ample for tune secured by marriage with Marie ol Orleans , and wisely prefers the Parisian boulevards to the dangerous by-paths of Solia , WKAVEU and Var. Wyck arc hauled over the coals by Church Howe's home organ , and the entire blame for Howe's disaster is laid at their door in a greal boap. This is sad , but there am seven other oounties to be heard from besides Tom Major's precinct at Peru. PAT Foun , who bought his seat in the council at no much a vote , and represent : with dignity thu dives and dons of thu bloody Third , is highly commended by thu Umiiha Republican for tl.o stand ho has taken In defense of good morals and an Improved police force. Perhaps the editor of thu Jlcpitblican isnot aware thai half of the police force was recruited from Pat's boarding house , IN every county where monopoly ro1 publican candidates have been defeated by anti-monopoly democrats there is n loud call from thu vanquished that the democrats shall go into cauciiR nnd slick for straight democracy. Nothing send ; fluch a shudder down the spinal coluiniu of the railroad bosses as the fear thai domourntlc votes inoy be east for Seuatoi Van Wyck , In their ev > s , ronubliean de feat would bo preferable. lv there were any mimi pipcr3 : in the Main capital to buy , the H , & M. railroad would noon take them out of the mar hot. Thu democratic paper run by C'al lioun , which was so outspoken again l the rallrjad bosses and democratic packinghouse ing-house organs , has u\purimictd !

Fortunately thu legislature never pays any attention to thu Lmcoli papers , They know that they only pipu for the braas-collarml troupe and the po- lltical pilferers who live on state pup. THU now bridge is approaching completion plotion , but them are no visible signs 01 the new union depot. One will be in complete without the other. The old "cow-shi'd" lias had its day.

IKWIW v/ho tins your , as they did two years ago , are limning the political end of the railroad innchiiie for Ihu confederated nionopo- lie . Q'liti ) apart from the pchomefl nnd plot to beat Van Wyck , n di'xperalo and combined onslaught is being made all along the linn to liapluru thi ! op'-mi atlon of both braiich.-s of the Ii'gi laturo und more especially of thu Heiintc. Wo are reliably informed that Litiit ! irint Governor Hhodd has already uonlerred wth : thu railroad inaniigurs ate to their choieu in making up the seir.itu oomniltteu.s , and that he is making up the list under their adviou. Two year. " ago when Mr. Shedd took the seat viu-atod bv Ageo ho entered into a lionspiraoy with Church Howe and other rullrond stool pigeons to revise the rules of thn senate wlt.ch had beim drafted in conformity with tlio-ii > of the United S'ates senate and the upper houses In other sialns. Under thorio rule.n tlio vice prc.siduiit or lii-utonaiit governor simply prrsides over the st'iiato by virtue of his oflluo. The senate itself , of wliicii ho is not a member , do''s ' not reeogui/.o lii. < autliority to appoint committee * , but makes its own committees by election or resolution. Thu notorious Kailroguo Cams was allowed to usurp this power of appointing committees becitts : tliu monopolies controlled the majority of thu senate. When Agee came in , the sonata repealed this rule an. I resumed its own prerogative. Mr. Shedd , following in thu footsteps of Cams , fell in with the jobbers and monopolist * , ami in apilu ol all protests public an 1 personal had the committees packed once moro. This game thu railroad gang with the bar nacles and hangers-on propose to repeal whim the logHlattiro meets. This tho.y cannot do with the sonata as it is now composed unless some of its muni' bers are driven in under the caucus whip and delivered ovet to the tender mercies of the robber.- and rogues who are making as party leader * . The United Stales , sonntt is republican , but no party caucus ha.- ever dared to transfer to the vice presl dent I ho sovereign power of the senate to make up its own committees without hit interfercnc'j. It is rather suggestive tu note tlio deep interest which Charley Greene , Mr. Iloldrege , Captain Phil lips , Tobo Castor , Church llowo and T.tl Cams fftd at tins moment in organizing the senate by a stalwart republican cau cus. cus.While While thu senate is the objective point of monopoly athick. because it i.- so much easier to handle , an active Hank movement is in progress to capture the house. Mr. Newcomer , of Webster county , who was always up in the last legislature when Mr. Iloldrege waved his hand , is being groomed for the IS Ihtir.Uoiv ttiiuo- Mr. Agco , is being held in reserve as the dark horse. With the lieutenant gov ernor packing the senate committees ami the speaker arranging the house commit tees to suit thu confodoraluil monopolies and fraudulent claimants , tliuro will be very little chance for any decent legisla tion. It Will Kconomic questions will bo forced bj workiniriuon to tlio front at no di.S' ( ant day. The process will bo an edueu tional ono for our industrial classes. In the discussion which it is certain to cal ! out they will learn that the purchasing power of w'iges makes wages either higl or low ; that steady work at fair wage.- is better than a high schedule for sb months and closed mills nnd fac lories with no wages for thu othei six months of tlio year. U'lioj will also receive some information re garding the proportion of tariff taxes tr manufacturers' prolits and laborer.- , ' and mechanics' pay. When American workingmcn are thor ouglily aroused to the urgent need o ; tariff reform , the dodgers and tnminer : in congress will be forced to lift the oppressive prossivo burden of over taxation , fro a which the producers of this country an now suffering. The bugbear of an im possible "free trade" will sooner or latei cease to alarm. Sensible men will taki their pencils in hand and figure out tlia the greatest possible reduction on tin tariff , which can be made without causing a treasury dollcicncy , will still furnisl heavy protection to American inilustria capitalists , wliilo it will open new market : for trade and sllinnltato production hy furnishing cheaper raw materials to IM turned into finished maniifactun-i products. A system of taxation-which collect- moro funiU than are needed for tin conduct of the government and tin debt. refuireinents | of the nation is ovei taxation , call it by whatever nai } < ( politicians and political ucoiiomists may As soon as this is understood , the pcoph will not be slow to apply the remedy. ( V Capital Scandal. A most uncommon and peculiar 'scan dal is reported to have developed ii Washington. The story is that the chiu of police , who lias been in olllco onlv i few months , had instructed curtain ot hi : subordinates to especially watch tin movements of members of congress a night , noting the places they visit , am in cu.-.ofl where these wcru not reputabh tlio fact was to bo used to exact fron biich mumbiirs their support of legisla tion favorable to the police toreo. The disclosure was made by an old officer ol the police , against whom charges of in subordination have been preferred. Con lidunco is felt that this ollioer will sub stantiatu his Matement , and his trial bj tliu commissioners is expected to preseni feonio highly iutt-ri'sting development : for that community. Meaiiwhilu tin police force is a good deal demoralize * over the affair. It is not possible to characterize toe strongly so despicable a scheme as this but what must the people nf thu countrj thinli of tliu revelation it makes respect ing Ihu character of their representatives Tim conclusion is inevitable that tlu chief of thu Washington police woule not havu instructed bis subordinated tc maintain an espionage on tlio private walks nnll condnct of congressmen , for the purpose of using thorn , unless ho know there- was game to bo Inpsed In doing pa. Ho is undoubtedly an un scrupulous and unprincipled follow , bnt he is probably not altogether n fool , nnd it is not to bo rationally supposed that ho would hnvo fpoiiu recklessly nnd nt Imp-hazard into n scheme ot this sort for which there was no a'suruneo of results. He had knowl edge that the privnio conduct of some congressmen was not eve reproach , and he knew that they \Vvi to be tound In compromising places. Unhappily mich U the lad , nnd has been so always. Many of ( lie men who make the laws of the nation are not .superior to the vices which , when practiced by innu of less ov- nltod stations , the world calls crimes , and nro as vulnerable to the temptations which abound In Washington as are moaner people Wetro the private oaroor.s nt the national capital of some of the grunt statesman whoso memory thu coun try just y honors for their gru.it public services fully exposed , the effect would bo to badly sully the glamour in which they are now seen , and though it may perhaps be fairly said that generally the congress men of lo-day are more careful in their conduct' than were llio < e of n gencuition ago , the numbur is now much too largo of those who do not conform tlie.tr daily , or more properly their nightly , conduct to the reiuire'inents | of till of the tun com mandments. " 'Tis true , 'tis pity , and pity 'tis 'tis true " The mugwump supporters of the presi- ident and those journals which are most ardently devoted to civil service reform , continue to in.v.-a that the result of the late elections was an endorsement of tlio policy of the administration with respect to tliis reform. It is claimed by them that in those states where the president yielded somewhat to the parly clamor and was more lax than elsewhere in maintaining his policy , tliu democracy Milfered most severely. In evidence of this , Virginia , Ohio , Indiana and districts of Illinois and Wisconsin , am cited , while it is ' . aid that in Massachusetts , where the reform policy was endorsed by thn democracy , the party gained. It .seem. " to us that these assumptions are essentially false and misleading. Look ing at the situation in these stales sep arately and what are the facts ? In Virginia democratic disaffection toward the administration had boon growing Hteadily for six mouths before the elec tion , partly on the ground of objection to its civil service policy ami measura bly for other ronsoiis , some of which have had their inlluencc to the detriment of the administration in Maryland and farther south. In Ohio the democratic causa was utterly hopeless by reason of the abominable record of the party in that state against which thu republican light was wholly directed , but so far as the rank and lile of the democracy of Ohio arc con cerned they nro not in sympathy with civil service reform. In Indiana the out rageous course of the democracy in jerry mandering tlie state disgusted thousands of fair minded democrats , and we have the testimony of nx-Senutor McDonald that a. part of the democratic disaffection wa-ulue . loJtJiojiUajjila.snruof the party with tlio civil service policy of the aiuY/ui- / istration. The testimony ot Air. McDon ald was that tlio democrats of Indiana are strongly opposed to civil msrvico re form , and not less so now than they have ever been. The defeat of Morrison in Illinois had nothing whatever to do with ihis reform , and it is not apparent that thu election of n republican to represent lining's district in Wisconsin was an en dorsement of the presideiit's policy. As to Massachusetts the largo vote for Andrew simply attested republican dis satisfaction with the candidate of that party , who had little claim besides his wealth , and was charged with having used Hint generously to secure bis nomination. There was no surprise in the vote given Andruw. It would not have been a sur prise , under th'o circumstances , had ho be-on elected , and very likely ho would have been had not thousands of demo crats been driven from his support by the fact of hi.s having compelled the con vention to endorse civil service reform as a condition to his accepting the nomina tion. How was it in Pennsylvania ? The democratic candidate for govei nor us- oribuft his defeat .solely to the discontent in the party growing out of the patronage issue. "Tho cnrau of patronage , " he is ( moledIB ' ayiiig , "did the business , and the same curse was operative nil over the country just as it was horo. 1 did not b.iliovc , " further said Mr. IMack , "and 1 can yet scarcely realize that thousands of regular democrats were capable of wiori- iicing their ticket and their stale to a minor and sordid consideration like that relating to the federal ollicos. Wo havu been Mint in the backs by our own pee ple. " The defeated democratic candi date for governor of Pennsylvania takes the right view of the mutter. There was widespread discontent with the civil .ser vice policy of the administration with thu fuel , that the president shows a par ticular fondness for this policy above all others and likes to enforce it and it manifested itself in the elections. The result has not modified or reduced thu feeling , and mugwump encouragement of the president to continue that policy will be very likely to intensify it. The Sloll'at We Imvo no need to bolster up our circulation by an attempt to create n great sensation with big types and "hor rible" head lines over the death of Mr , Moffat. It i.s n sad and unfortunate affair which forcibly illustrates the wants of this city in connection with the public health and police quarters. The facts in the case summed up are these : Mr. Mof fat wliilo occupying roomy in tliu house of Mr. Tliieman was taken down with typhoid fever. liu became deranged , mi- manageable and dangerous ; , He assaul ted both Mr. and Mrs , Tiiicman violently and finally compelled them tocnll for help for their self-protection. To all intents nnd purpose Moffat was a madman nnd hud to be made harmless. The. police were called for and responded , Thu offi cer on duty had n tern bio scufllo witli Mr. Moffatl and ( inally sueceded iu hand- culling him. At this blago thu blunder wtta made in treating him as o-ltinntio In stead of as a delirious sick num. . lie was taken to the station house , which is u wretchud , filthy man hole- , and kept there somo. hours awaiting the arrival of the city phjsieinu who had him Ukeu to the hospital , where he died Iwo days later. No evidence is shown that Mr. Aloffht's death Avns caused by his treatment nl the police stationtil nil probability the case wns fntal In any qyont. Tlio only points stress is laid on nrclirst.thatMrfl.Thelman struck Moffalt on the head with n piece of crockery , that Moffalt was convoyed to the station in a 'coat wagon ami was there kept bound hand and foot until Dr. Leisonring arrived. No reasonable person - son can blniua Mrs , Tliieman for pro tecting herself from the ferocious assault of n mad man1 who was liable to maim or murder her. It is sentimental bosh to expect a woman to remain passive under such circumstances , when even Mrs. Moffatt herself had lied the room. Thu coal wagon wns n rough conveyance , but , inasmuch ns Mr. Moffull wns placed upon blafkuts nnd had ample covering , that part of alleged brutality is not worth considering. At the station house Moffat wns not ili-lrcnted but the bands around his wrists and feet should hnvo been loosened by the guards. The question is whetuer the'y know Iho man's condition except that lie was raving mad and dangerous. Right here comes the blame where it really belongs. There should be a regu lar police surgeon on hand for duty at all times and there should be n city hospital wiiore no patient is refti.sed admission at the demand of the city authorities. Omaha only maintainsacily physician a.s n matter of form and has no free hospital. Mr. Moffat is ono of the victims of the city's neglect , although de.ith would probably have remitted had he remained at homo. The otlleer.s who made the arrest doubt less exceeded their power. They were placed in a dillleull position , and c.illcd on to preserve lifo by removing a danger ous maniac Personally , Marshal Cum- ining.s cannot be held responsible for tlie action of a subordinate in the middle of the night when the marshal himself was at homo. If the marshal is responsible , st > would the mnyor bo who is above the marshal. The caustic verdict of the cor onerV jury may be in part explained by the fact that the foreman of the jury , ilohn II. Duller , has never seen anything good in the city government since he. was allowed to resign as chief of the lire de partment. The only action called for on the part of the city authorities is to provide an eineugene'.V hospital and coiiHtniit medical attendance at police headquarters. SI-ATI : AND Ti5tirroiv.
