The arraignment of thcso monclcarly shows the solC-seeklntr motive which is nt the bottom of their professed concern for reform. From the outset o\ery cf- iurt oltholtttlocabal husbecn prompted l > y the single purpose of advincinp the personal fortunes , financial and political , of its inomljers , und \dtli rare oxcoptloiis only those -whom It Jiaa been ell assured A\ould contribute to this purpose ha o received its favor. . .Menho \ had the manhood to reluso to submit to lln dictation , and vho insisted upon straicrlitfofwiird and honest methods , luvo not had and do not now liavo the countenance of the small coterie of jugglers who achieved the leadership of the to-colled independent party.

Thcso are questions vhieli the thou sands of honest and sincere incn uho aio buppoiting the independent movement , in the full helief tliat it Is the true way to bring the old parties to a realizing : sento of their duty to the people , should scilously consider. Whatever may bo said in justification ol the independent move ment , or of its intrinsic merit as a means of purifying the political sUiuiticn , if It liavo not lionest and intoilig&nt leader ship it must not only fail of Us purpose , but the effect of failure would , ho very likely to put the political situation in a worse condition than it has over been. This would assuredly ho the case if the icsult should bo the transfer ot the admln- Ibtration of affairs to the democratic party. DOlXCf SOT1IING.

Mr. Adams reports that the Union Pacific railway is in a condition of superb health. His comments on the subject are marked hya. warmth of enthusiasm quito foreign to the tempera ment of his historic "runUy. Ho says he supposed a year ago that ho hal made ample provisions for handling- the "busi ness of tlio roid. IEo counted upon an increase of perhapatonpor cent , but to his amazement the Increase is o\or tivcnly-liio per cent and the facilities are quite inadequate to the demands upon it. The road is blocked with husi- ness wluca it can hardly handle and overjthlug indicates tliat tnlgrmrvolous prospertj ia to continue without ulnto- rnont "Ills inon are worried beyond en durance.

In the light of President Adams' ontliust- astloaccount of tlio road'salTnlrs , It is cosy to see how the stoclc of tlio TJuloii Pacific is still highly \alupd.inspilo \ of Its numerous unprofitable branches and Its iiitcvininuljlo ritors of watered stocks and. bonds.

Mr. Hob- arts had Iho catingo to sign his name , an oxampla the anonymous slanderers and falslRew of Omnlm wisely failed to follow , but Ills assertions and accusations uro malicious und baseless. The methods adopted by prohibitionists for re\enuo only should arouse the people to defend thcmsches , their city and their lioincs from the foul attacks ol unprincipled agitators. The people of the vholo state , no less than the residents of the city , are proud of Iho capital , Its splen did growth nnd procrrcssho enterprise , That it sliould bo maligned "by persons claiming to bo citizens of the state , its growth pronounced fictitious , and the people openly accused of conspiring to commit fraud , is an outrage that should bo indijrnuntly i-epelled at every killot box in the state. And what is true ol Lincoln applies to every city in the stato. None are safe from the attacks of these mercenary raiders. JOHN M. TimnsTOf is reportrd as having- said at a !

This opinion Is in inaikcdcontinst with the emphatic endorsement which Presi dent Harrison received at the hands ot the laigest convention ot republicans that has ever met in Nebraska und at the hands of o\ory congressional con vention as well OB the conventions in Omaluinnd Douglas county during the present campaign. Two yoais ago it cost tlio county thlity-fivo cents per square yard to do extra grading aiound the no hospital.
