CORPORATE TIRttURISM.
In 1875 property owners and capital
Ists of Omaha organized a railroad com
pauy to connect this city with central
Nebraska south of the Flattejlver. Tb
road as projected and surveyed was to
traverse Douglas, Saunders, Butler aud
Polk counties and to cover territory not
then occupied by either the Union Ta
clflc or Burlington railroads. As a con
dltlon precedent a bond proposition was
submitted to Douglas county for a sub
sidy to aid In the construction of the
road.
This proposition was vigorously op
posed by the managers of the Union Pa
cific aud three days before election
notice was served on the people of
Omaha that if the bonds carried the
Union Pacific shops at Omaha would be
abandoned, notwithstanding the fact
that the company had received more
than a million dollars' worth of property
as a condition for their perpetual main
tennnce. Public sentiment rose to the
highest pitch of indignation and the
bonds carried Omaha by a very decisive
majority, but were defeated in the coun
try precincts by railroad colonisation
and wholesale bribery. In Saunders
county; corporate terrorism was carried
to the extreme. A' gallows waa erected
on the public square . In Wahoo and
notice was served on every voter who
favored .the. .Nebraska Central -project
that to do dp would bfe at the rJeril of Ala
''"' ""ixKiyjWBeJ-afuiniiijnangea,
tpipdrted gangs of fafflans assaulted and
yatiniidated the people so that a free
election was impossible.
The defeat of the bond propositions In
Douglas and Saunders counties crushed
the enterprise and the Union Pacific fol
lowed its victory up by the construction
of the so-called Omaha & Uepublican
Valley railroad, which has since been
Incorporated into Its system.
A few years later Nebraska was
treated to another example of corporate
terrorism. While a bond proposition for
the construction of a branch line to con
nect the Union Pacific at Columbus with
the South Platte country was pending
Jay Gould passed through the town of
Columbus and from the rear end plat
form of his car served notice on the peo
ple of that town that If they dared to
vote the bonds he would start a rival
town forthwith and reduce Columbus to
a mere hamlet. In the face of this high
handed threat the citizens of Columbus
voted the bonds. The Wall street mag
nate proceeded Immediately to carry out
ins tnreat by establishing a new town
five or six miles west of ColumbuB. but
Columbus was saved by providential In
tervention a flood in the Platte and
Loup rivers swept the new town "from
the prairie and washed out several miles
of Union Pacific track, so that the entire
scheme had to be abandoned.
These Incidents are forcibly recalled
by the declaration made by the superin
tendent of motive power of the Union
Paclfltr railroad that punishment bad
been meted out to the town of North
Tlatte for cultivating a hostile senti
ment against the. company, which prer
vented It from giving proper protection
to strike breakers at its North Platte re
pair shops..' Jf this announcement had
emanated from the great swashbuckler,
John N. Baldwin,' nobody would have
been surprised and most people would
have regarded it as a bluff. Coming as
It does from a man who is not given to
bluster, it merits serious consideration.
The Union, Pacific Ilallroad company
undoubtedly has the right to maintain
and operate machine shops wherever Its
management deems it most advanta
geous. Jf the North Tlatte repair shops
have outgrown their usefulness aud
their abandonment has been decided
upon as a measure of economy, common
decency would have dictated that the
true reasons for the change should be
given to the people of North Platte. If,
on the other hand, the shops at North
Platte are to be dismantled and the
work transferred to Grand Island. Sid
ney or Cheyenne as a punishment to the
citizens of North Platte because, for
sooth; they have exhibited active sym
pathy with, the 200 worklngmen who
were locked out, or rather driven out
of the Union Pacific shops by an order
they could not comply with without
doing violence to their obligations to the
machinists' and boiler makers unions.
or, worse still, because the people of
North Platte would not allow themselves
to be bullyragged and Insulted by John
N. Baldwin, the Irreparable Injury the
company Is Inflicting upon the town Is
an outrage that cannot be too severely
denounced.
The 2)0 worklngmen thrown out of
employment by the arbitrary edict of
Mr. Burt were for the most part old res
idents of North Platte. They had helped
to build up the town and were identified
with its growth aud prosperity. They
bad erected homes out of their scant
savings, reared their families respecta
bly, educated their children In Its schools
ana conuuetea themselves as law-abid
ing and. industrious citizens. It. was
perfectly natural for the business men
and men of all classes In North Platte
to sympathize with these people Just as
it Is with the great mass of citizens of
Omaha to sympathize with the shopmen
locked out In this city by Mr. Burt's
edict
What would be said in Omaha if the
Union Pacific managers should an
nounce that they would remove their
railroad headquarters because the people
or newspapers of Omaha bad dared to
express sympathy for the men thrown
out of employment without any fault of
their own, and whose families were suf
fering without any fault of their own?
Would the citizens of Omaha tamely and
without Indignation and resentment sub
mit to such tyranny? Why should the
people of North Platte be expected to
afford more ample protection to the
strike breakers than is afforded by the
people of other towns and cities
wherever conflicts art precipitated be
tween worklngmen and their employ
ers? What would be thought of an at
tempt to terrorize the people of indus
trial centers like Pittsburg or Philadel
phia because the masses in those cities
sympathise with the anthracite coal
miners? Juit such high-handed and 111-
advteed attempts to dominate' the coun

stimulate a popular uprising for govern

J. F. Monaghan, the United State, consul

existing law, those recommended by th.
government and those determined upon by
the tariff commission. A few, Illustrations

Th. figures are based upon a unit of 100
kilogram, or 820.46 pounds. Butter Is to
be Increased from $3.81 to $7.14. that being
the Increase recommended by the govern
ment There I. great complaint over the
present high prices of meata, but the
agrarian, say that it Is due to the secret
arrangtmenu between th. butcher, and
bakers, which the latter emphatically deny,
asserting that "It 1. due to tbe scarcity of
live stock, brought about by the closing of
the German Empire to the Importation ot
live stock.
The new "health" regulations In regard
to the Importation of foodstuffs, which will
practically exclude many of them, will soon
be In full effect, and that accounts some
what for the discontent among the artisans.
Germany is not now ln a prosperous condi
tion and ha. been ln great distress for a
year and more. That there will be any
benefit from a wholesale Increase tn tbe
price of food products la not in the least
probable. Bhould this new tariff law take
effect It probably would not remain long on
the statute books without change.

Indlanola Independent: Now that all the
candidates of both parties are ln the field,
a kind of retrospective view of the situa
tion may not come amiss. At the bead of
th. republican congressional ticket tn thla
district Ik O. W. Norrls, one ot the bright
est, cleanest, best republicans ever men
tioned In the west whose political record
ha. been penetrated by the searchlight of
aot only the combined opposition, but by
hla own supporters, and has been pro
nounced aa clean as wblt. paper, by ae
election to tbe bench, ln a democratic dla
trlct, by such an overwhelming majority
that It were enough to turn bis head If It
were not level.
Fall. City Journal: Hanks I. opposed to
rural fre. delivery and th. further exten
alon thereof. He must be opposed to this
because h. I. opposed to Burkett. It Is
largely to Mr.' Burkett'. efforts that the
farmers of this district are indebted for
the present Improvement In postal faclll
ties. Some democratic paper, hav. tried
to show that the free mall delivery wa.
aa Injury to the community and to place
th. blame for this Imagined Injury upon
Mr. Burkett. If this charge be true then
tb. charg. 1. equally true that Hank. I.
opposed to rural fre. delivery and If
elected will do aU that h. can to discour

Kearney Hub: There Is not a single
sensible, solid argument why Patrick H.
Barry should be elected to congress from
the Sixth district In preference to Mose.
P. Klnkald. So far aa personal character
goes there Is nothing to b. said against
th. fusion candidate. A. to what he rep
resents politically there are widely differ
Ing opinion.. That populism Is on tbe de
cline la the Sixth district all will admit.
That he would be compelled to act with
th. democrats, to all Intents and purposes,
If elected, goes without saying. On th.
other hand. Judge Klnkald will be an In
fluential factor In the republican majority
la tbe house' and will be a supporter ot the
policies ot President Roosevelt, which are
giving exceedingly great aatlsfactloa to all
parts of tb. country and meeting tbe ap
proval of many fair-minded democrat, and
populists, v There I. abundant reason why
Judge Klnkald should be elected.
Tork Times: Mr. Hlnahaw will be sleeted
to congress In this district because h. Is a
clean, abl. man, and represents th. prin
ciples that have brought such marvelous
prosperity to this section. In years gon.
by demagogues asked what th. tariff had
to do with tb. prosperity of tb. farmer.
This Is an agricultural country," they
said, "and what bas protection to do -with
It? It may help th. manufacturer of th.
east, but It will b. a tax upon th. fanner
and be will receive nothing la return."
Republican, assured us that a better mar
ket, aa Increased idemand for food prod
ucts at bom., woOld raise the price, and
that nothing els. would. It waa a plain
and reasonabe proposition and the result
haa provea tb. correctaeas of It. It Is not
necessary to mk special comparison, be

plied: "I don't think 'Intend' I. the proper
