TIIK PATH TO S.tU'.mUflf. After twenty ymrt of hard nnd in- rossant service tn the rdltort.ilharness I start out today on u Kuroi > oan tour of observation and recreation , from which I hojKJ to return by the middle of Sop61 lumbar. On taking louvc of the republican conwi stltuonoy of Tin : UKK I doom Itlmth my privilege ) nnd duty to appeal to the inoinbcti * of the party with which I htivo boon associated ever since It win founded to turn oor n now leif : and take thu stops essential to its restoration in pop * ulur eonlUlonco In order that it may reef gain complete political supremacy. The republican jnuy has dominated In Nebraska for nearly u ijuartor ol n century. Its electoral vote has boon cast for every republican candidate for president slnco Ulysses 3. Grant was chosen to his llrstterm. Nebraska gave Harrison tJ8,000 plurality and the state might hnvo c.ist . as largo u republican majority in 18i ! ) ! hue ! the party in the past fu'lllllod Its pledges to the people of this state and given thom satisfactory local government. What was the cause of the land slide Inst fall ? It is known to nil Nobrasknna that the .confederated monopolies Imvo had absolute control of the machinery of the republican party for more than llf- teen yonra. They packed our primaries and conventions and dictated our nomi nees from constable up to governor. No man ambitious to 111 ! a place of honor or trust had any chancu of nomination unless ho was able to onllst the influence of the railroad managers in his support. In 1838 Nebraska's con tingent to the national republican con vention was made up of seven railroad lawyers and three corporation favorites. This state of affairs linally culminated in a popular revolt whoso muttorlngs loud nnd ( loop made thomsolvcs hoard soon after the last presidential 61oetion. A your ago thievery month aconforenco of earnest republicans , impressed with the disaster with which the party was menaced , mot conference at the state capital and passed a borlcs of resolu- lions Dotting forthj.hu . abuses tliiit were alienating largo numbji'a of republicans nnd appealing to thu rani ; and llio to roicuo tlio party from tlie ) oontrol of cor- poruto monopoly anel pledge ) It to the reforms demanded by the producing tinel imlit.ili'liil I'liituos. Among these reso lutions were tlio feillowing : iteolvcd , That wo view with alarni the intense discontent nmonjj tlio republicans of the state , ctiluliy due to the vicious and du- moMli/.iii } , ' interference of corporations und their attempt * to control ull departments of our stiitu government leglslutlvo. executive nnd judlcml and \vo earnestly appeal to nil republican * who desire to preserve pur Insti tutions to rally to the nxicuo of our state from corporate domination by actively par- tie.'inatliiK in the nriniary elections and noni- InatliiK' conventions. Kasolved , That while wo desire to accord to niilronil corporations tholr rights nnil priv ileges as common carriers , wo demand that they shall po out of politics and stop inter ference withourconvcntlnns and legislature * . Ucfeolvoe ] , Tliat railroad passes distributed in this sinto for political purposes are species of bribery pernicious in their influence und tending to undermine public morals , sub versive ) to a free nud unboufilit expression of tho'will of the people In their conventions , legislatures and juries , nnd wo hereby de mand the prohibition of masses , and frou transportation in any form , under severe penalties. Uesolvcd , That Nebraska has for years been subject to exorbitant transportation rates , discriminating against her products , thus rctardini ; her dovolopmcnt , nnd wo con demn thu stnto board of transportation for failing to oxoreisto the authority vested In them mid by refusing to ulTorJ to the people the relief they were plodiroiJ to give.Vo therefore demand that the legislature shall enact u maximum tariff bill covering the transportation of our products and principal Imports. Thc.so resolution * were embodied In the republican stnto platform. But when tlio party nominated a ra I Iron A politician anel inonoy lontlor as Its standard - ard beinror the ) platform bccaiuo u mockery. The L-opubHcau fanners who know the iimn and lito ulHUutlon with the corporations wont ever to the inde pendents almost in u body. Incidentally , the ti'-tion ot republican conventions tenet legislatures in uttompting- foist prohibition upon the stnto lost the party the support of fully 10,000 republicans who had form erly fought in the i nnks of the party through thick and thin , while not a vote was 'rainod from the ranks of the prohi bitionists. The outcome Is well known. I will not stop .to cl of one ! my.iolf against the inalirrnant and vindictive abuse that has been heaped upon mo siuoo the election by political mercenaries nnd parasites who have inudo a living out of the party and have by their rank voutility and subserviency to the corporation ! * brought the party intodisropuh ) . Nor do I nro1 , pose to bandy words with the few milksop editors who are striving to become load ers when they have not bniins enough to kce'p out of the wet. My support of the republican state ticket was all that could have boon asked or expected , nnd the charge of conspiracy or collusion with democrats to defeat Ulchards is as infamous as ills baseless. I will only cite ono instance. After Richards hael returned from his junket to Boston and Washington , which delayed the active campaign nearly sixty days and gave tlio independents great advantage in the field , the committee decided to llro the opunlng gun at Fre mont. I wont to General John C. Cowin personally and spent ono hour in pleading with him to go to I'Vomont , because I regarded him as ono of the most olfcotlvo campaign speakers and bollevod that his speech would exert a wliolosomo influence for the ticket. Geiiornl Cowin declined on account of business pressure. I submit to all can did mon whether suc'i tin effort on my part veluntarlly is evidence of treachery tolUcharda and collusion with Boyel In the midst of the campaign I en gaged , at $ 00 a month , Mr. Smytho of Kearney , n warm supporter of Richards , nnel gave him full Hwltig on the editorial page , which ho devoted largely tooulei- glos and defense of HluhardH. And this wns supplemented by articles prepared by Uichards' homo organ-grinder. ' Hut Ulehards ut host Is only a reminiscence now. IIo could have boon elected had ho police ! the vote of his associates on the republican ticket outMdo of Douglas county. lie coulel have IMMHI olgctoel had ho taken a bold and manly position on the prehibltion issue instead of skulking and trying to ejonvort liquor dealers by p-itronl/lug Omtiha beer saloons in the night time I Now us to UoyeL I hnvo supported .Tanios B. Uoyd in the contest before the legislature liacuuso ns u true republican li boHovo in nfreo ballot , an honest count and the supremacy of majorities. I b'jllovo that .lam-js K Beiyel win duly elected by a plurality of the legal voters of Nebraska. The assertion that there wns fraud , brlbry aud intimidation of voters nt Omaha In the interest of Boy el I know to bo a o.ihiiriny gotten up by disappointed and vindictive * prohlbi- tiemists. Baltovltig Boyd tohuvobebn duly elected I scorn and condemn any attempt to deprive the people of tholr choice upon technicalities. I consider < it rank injustice for republi cans to countenance the ousting of Boyd us an alleged alien. A man who helped to lay the foundations of the common wealth and shared the hardships and privations of our plonoor.s Is a good deal tnoro of a citizen than any native who came to Nebraska after she hud become populous and potential. Wo did not oust- the boy governor who was olectcd chief executive in violation of the mandate of the constitution that expressly directs that no person under ahull bo governor , and wo could have endured Boyd without wrenching the constitution too much and doing violence - lonco to our patriotism. I deem the ousting of Boyd a grave nnd irreparable blunder from a partisan standpoint. In the lirst place tlio republicans were forccel to imiko common cause with democrats In favor of Uoyd at the outset of the legislative session. Had they done otherwise the republican stale ollicors who received a plurality of the popular vote would have been counted out with Boyd , and the independents , who received the minority vote would huvo be on counted in. What is the situation now- Nebraska is a political field shaped like a triangle. Each side of the triangle represents an army of 70,000 voters. So long as the 70,000 republicans could keep the 70,000 democrats from fusing with the 70,000 independents tholr lighting chance was elecleicdly favorable. There was n fair prospect that the 10,000 voters who foil out of line on account of prohibition would coma back this year , and largo numbers of union veterans who do not want to help elect a democratic presi dent would vote the national republican ticket in 1892. The rallying center of the elomocracy was around Boyd. IIo was not only the center but the wedge that prevented any coalition of the two armies arrayed against the republicans. The ousting of Boyd at once caused the sloughing of demo crats over into the independent camp , and If this exodus carries off ever twenty thousand democrats , republican buccoss in 1802 is hopeless unless the party can win buck an equal number of republicans. What shall wo do to bo saved ? This is the question that confronts us now and which mainly inspires mo to write this loiter. Lit us bo frank wltn ourselves. The republican party does not deserve to rule No'iraska unless it redeems Its pledges and discards the loadoM whoso allegiance to the party and devotion to the people's In terests are secondary to their allegiance to the railroads and corporate monopo lies generally. Wo cannot hope to win in the battle either this year or in 189H unless wo do something1 tangible for the producers. Promises will no longer bo accepted as a legal 1 < tender by our farmers and working mon. mon.We We must eithtr reconvene the legislature und yiw thi pwple tin relief IDS Imve prom- ini'l or force the nl'ilc bminl of trwwportii' lion to do its duty. Good crops will doubtless bring bolter times and the flat money and sub-treas ury craze will subside when farmers have sold their surplus at good prices. But the demand for rodncud railroad rates will not ubato until it has boon complied with. An abundant harvest will otnphasi/.e this demand for lower rates moro than ever , audit Is simply out of eiue.stlon to expect any recruits from our farmintr people so long ns our party which controls thu board of trans portation and Is responsible for it falls to act up to its platform promises. For myself , I can BOO no salvation for our party by any othorcouruo , and unless ewr < stale olllcors are willing to sacrifice not ' only the party in this stnto but of tlio I nation they will heed my admonition. E. UOSKWATKK. Jllll'TKIt UO SIMH' . The regulars of the Omaha medical fraternity nro very much inceiibcd be cause the newspapers persist In taking pay for advertising from doctors who do not belong to their sot. Tlio packed coroner's jury in the Melody cuoo has furnibhcd them a text for denouncing the venality of publishers. This is decidedly refreshing. There i is scarcely a member among the entire collection of sawbones who would not at any time nnd ull limes be very glad to secure a half-column advertisement in our dailies ; providing , always , those puffs were published without charge. Now so far as the maniigomont of the medical instilutu Is concerned , no paper will in any way attempt to palliate its treatment of Melody , alive or dead. But we rosunt , and have u right to resent - sent the moan Imputations of venality on the part of the publishers of news papers. Their columns are constantly open to e-harlty , mid not a day passes when they do not contribute ) valuable space that is a nuirkotablo commodity in aiding poor people and furthering works of benevolence. How is it with the doctors ? How many of them are ready to an swer thu call of distress from a poor man unions the fee is gimru'ile > ed in advance. Scarcely a day PUS.SOS without reports coming in and often suppressed for thu bonollt of some doctor that some poor wiimnn In thu agonies of disease was un- nblo 'o induce a physician to relieve her pain. pain.When When it comes to charging mercenary greed lo thei press the regulars hud but ter go very slow. TIIK manufacturers of ICngland are fooling the effects eif the American tariff rather moro severely than those of any other European country , and they are anxiously looking out for somu way to recover lost ground. The statement Is mauo that the cutlery trades of bholilold | with the Unltcdiaiatoshns fallen off more than Ihroo-fouHUPf , and us e.in o.islly bo I iindorHteKKl tliorols something of a. panic i ' among the immuyicturora and weirkors of that city. Al rV recent meeting to dis cuss the sltutitujfl , " nome of the speak ers told the ) rivcirkliigmaii that they must starve if ( rush nittrkots could not bo found and drooped , nnd the expedi ent suggested wn&tho formation of an omplro trade iloUguo. Wo are not In formed as to th'fi1 'exact ' character and scope of this pljii'/but | ' il IH pretty safe lo nssumo that it could bnvo little effect in restoring the lost trade of Sholllold. The fact is thai the dcclino in tlio cutlery - lory trade of the center of that Industry in England is not alteigothor duo to our tariff , but to llio stoiidy advtinco in tlio quality of American cutlery , which has given It access to markets for years monopolized by the English manufac turers. . . Tin : treasury will bo able to redeem the 41 pur cent bonds falling duo Sep tember 1 next , amounting to about $50- 000,000 , but it appears that the secre tary would prefer to extend a portion of them if ho can elo so at a reduced rate of interest. lie will accordingly an nounce to holders of these bonds that they can hnvo them extended , subject lo call , at the Intoro-tt rate of 2 per cent c"P per annum , and such as are not willing to ! accept Mils interest can hievo the bondo redeemed when due. Some thing more limn half the amount outstanding | is deposited by the national banks to secure circulation , and it is pmbablo that some of these institutions will allow thom to remain in the treas ury at the lower rate ef interest. It woulel scorn in the circumstances tj bo good policy for them lo do so , oven If Iho arrangement should not bo quilo prolllablo. At any rate it is gratifying to know thai Iho treasury will bo in a position to moot this obligation , ul- Ihoiigh it would bo moro convenient if the necessity for doing so , as to a part of it ut least , could bo postponed.

The regents have been looking for n suc cessor to Chancellor Mnnutt , nnd tlicro Is n faint rumor that tlio board has had some ill-natured contention ever the selection of the man. This Is dt'ulod by a university oftl- clal who has means of knowing. It is true that the regents , or a sub-commltteo of them , have been considering the availability of a number of Instructors , but the obstacles to n selection nro mainly matters of lltncss und sal ary. If the regents could double or treble the salary , thny say they could readily find a chancellor among the high priced professors la eastern collnges.

This is an experimental stop in car- rylng out the design of the Harem Hindi fund. Mr. Solomon said to a reporter yester- eluy : mo plot or land which wo nro about to purchase Is on the line of three great rail ways the Pennsylvania , Delaware , Lacka- vranu ft Western and the Erie so that it is In easy roach of these who nro oiignKod in business In New York , und It also Is near a Krcnt manufacturing center. Tlio Edison electric light works also nro very near. The cottages are for the use of recently arrived Jewish immigrants , many of thom now liv ing In the crowded tenement houses of Now Yorlt. The cottagei will bo well built , de tached houses of eight rooms , with a yard largo enough to enable the tenant to grow veiroiablob for family use. If the tenant de sires , wo will sell him the house at n low price on the payment of ? lf > 0 to $300 , ns the case may be , the balimco to remain ut 5 par cent so that the Interest will nearly In every case bo lower than what they uro actually paying in rent for tholr present filthy houses in tbo cities. Wo will begin this experiment with only llfty houses , which wo expect to have ready for occupancy In a few months. If these warrant it wo will go right uhoadso that before the clo = o of the year from aV ) to UUO cottages will bo completed. "In order to avohl tlio appearance of a charitable ) settlement , the architecture of these cottages will bo divernilleil to please Ilia finer senses and tbo bolter tastes of the moro cultivated. Wo nro In hopes that this experiment will settle the long vexed question of tenement housew In every largo city , for If our plan is carried out successfully other or ganizations will undoubtedly-follow our ex ample. None of the nihilist socialist or an- nrcliistelement will bo tolerated. " Silfj SCUKAjlKlt IX A CAil. A PKslpuHMl VUIIIIK Woman Creates n Sensation In Newark. NinvAUK , N. , ) . , May 2 * .
