THE JOURNAL. WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, R7f. "Pkejudice is tlic root of nil in- justice." ScxATons Paddock and Snuuders will accept our thanks for favors. Andrew Manning of EHvillc, X. J. killed his wife and then drowned himself. John Riddf.ro, of Columbus, Ohio, was killed last week by the kicks of a horse. Charles H. Pclham, of New York city, for many years city editor of the Times, died on the 23th. Salt pr. bbl. from Chicago to Council Bluff, 500 miles, CO cts; from C. B. to Columbus, 97 miles, 85 cts. Ex-Minis- ter Sciienck, in "Was- hington city, is reported very ill with an attack of Bright's disease of the kidneyH. It is stated from Faris that there Is a well-attest- ed case of the cure of hydrophobia by the inhalation of oxygen. A reign of terror still continues in Russia on account of 60 many Incendiary fires. Many arrests have been made. Two cniLiiREN of Frank Carroll, of Vandalia, 111., were burned to death last week while playing in a crib filled with corn husks. The Germans in diplomatic cir- cles say that in view of the ef- forts of the radicals in Franco solid settlement there is scarcely possi- ble. Secreatarv McCrary, in con- formity with the decision of Juiljjc Dundy, in the Ponca habeas corpus caso has directed that these Indians be released. Alexr IIarlow, cashier of the Fishkill bank, Poughkcepsie, N. Y., convicted of embezzlement, has been sentenced to five years iu the penitentiary. Tue weather was very hot in New England last week. The thermometer in the shade in New Hampshire on the 18th marked one hundred degrees. It i6 reported from St. Petersburg that a terribly fatal disease has bro- ken out iu the Caucass and proves fatal in twenty-fou- r hours after an attack. Hundreds are dying of it A WATER-srou- T burstcd in the western part of the city of Louis- ville, Ky., on the 15th, which did considerable damage to property, but the peoplo escaped with their lives. "We learn that 50,000 Switzers ex- pect to come to America this year. This will be a grand accession to any community or State. They arc an intelligent, independent and thrifty people. The scnato last week refused to strike out the clause in the bill di- recting the payment of arrears of pensions from the ten millions re- serve for redemption of fractional currency. At Columbus, S. C, on tho 13lh, the confederate monument erected in the Capitol Square by the ladies' association, was unvailcd with im- posing ceremonies in tho presence of 1100 people. The colored people in tho south appear to comprehend the legisla- tion attempting to be pressed upon tho nation by tho democrats of con- gress, and are fleeing from the south by hundreds and thousands. A general principle Is variously expressed, thus: "It is biting off a little more than he can chew;" "it Is taking into the mouth a little more than can bo swallowed;" "it is picking up more than can be carried away." Boone Saxton, living near Pa-piliio- n, last week laid down iu the prairie grass and fell asleep, and the grass in some way caught fire and burned him to death. Ho died before he could be removed from tho.ground. "Cosmoline is tho trade name for one of the nearly solid petroleum compounds, as kcroscno is for one of the liquids." It is spoken of in very high terras " as an external application to raw surfaces, burns, and wherever a soothing ointment is desirable. Gen. Kennard Gerrard died at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 15th. He was a bravo soldier in the U. S. arm during the late rebellion. Starting as an officer iu a cavalry company for gallantry on the field of battle iu several instances he rose step by step and was finally brevet-te- d Major General. One hundred aud twenty thous- and colliers were iu conference at Barusby, England, on the 14th, and decided to demand ten per cent, in- crease on pay aud if refused to stop work. They will bold another con- ference soon to give formal notice of the strike, which promises to be wonderful in proportions. The first number of the National View published at Washington City under the management of LeeCran-da- ll has been received. The me- chanical execution of it is neat, and doubtless it will be a strong advo- cate of the principles of the Green- back party. It will be a good me- dium through which an explanation may be given of the favorite meas- ure of the party for issuing $1,000,-000,00- 0 of legal-tend- er paper money. Competition gives between Chi- cago and New York, 900 miles, 15 to 20 cts. a hundred pounds for car rying wheat. Chicago Journal says " there's a pin loose in Nebraska lynch pin." Yes a little bit irregular. Desperate cases need desperate remedies. There was a report reached Nor- folk, Neb., last week that the Spot- ted Tail Indians had shot and killed one of McCann's herders on tho Niobrara river. The Indians bad a large number of ponies stolen-b- y white men and had recovered near-l- y two hundred and it is supposed that the Indians mistook the herder for a horse thief and shot him. There nppcars to be no necessity for alarm, on account of the appearance of Iudians in the Elkhorn valley. The case or Standing Bear, the Ponca Indian habeas corpus case recently pending in tho U. S. Court at OmaBa, was decided last week, and is regarded as of very great importance to the Indian bureau at "Washington, as well as to the whole race of Indians within our borders. The present decision of the court uot only releases Standing Bear aud his party from the custody of tho army, but prohibits the use of the army to force Indian tribes to re- side on reservations against their will. The district attorney Lam-berts- on has appealed the case to the circuit court, and we presume it cvcutually will be taken to the su- preme court. Presidet Hayes on tho 12th re- turned to the house of representa- tives the bill entitled "Au act to prohibit military interference at elections, with his objections which contains some unanswerable argu- ments against the bill. He says "all the teaching of experience iu the past history of the nation favor the sustaining of the law of 1792, 1795 and 1807 and remained the law until July 29, 1SC1, when the same pro- visions substantially were incorpo- rated into the present law and ap- proved by President Lincoln. It is the 6a me law in principle under which President Washington sup- pressed the rebellion in Pennsylva- nia iu 1791. President Jefferson broke up tho Burr conspiracy iu 1S0G on tho same principle aud under the 6arac law. President Jackson crushed nullification iu South Caro- lina; with tho same authority Pres- ident Lincoln put down tho great rebellion of 1861. It would not do in an' possible view of the caso to take away the power of the govern- ment to use the military in checking unlawful resistauce to the laws of the nation. Viewing the bill in this light President Hayes was compell- ed veto the bill, which otherwise would have left tho government without legal authority to enforce the laws and preserve the peaco of the nation. Railroad. The latest authoritative gathering of railroad statistics for this station gives the following: RECEIVED. Kind ok Freight. Cars. Tounds.

This is said to be for the year T7. Tho larger items aro wheat, lumber, merchandise and coal. All the items given have increased, some of them wonderfully, but, for present pur- poses, we will tako the abovo fig- ures. Suppose competition in markets and transportation gives us Ave cents a bushel more for wheat, we would have, counting $17.50 to the car, $30,817.50; counting $3 a ton saved on coal, we should have $G,-33- 0; counting $22.00 a car on lum- ber (the difference in price just now between U. P. rates from Chicago here, and A. & N. rates from Chica- go to Lincoln) and on CS7 cars we should gain $15,526; these three items alone would make a pure gain to us of $52,073.50, in ono year. Saying nothing about gain on the other 490 cars coming from or going east, wouldn't it be advisable to vote bonds for $100,000, which will cost us only $8,000 a year interest for the next ten years? "We expect in the next three weeks to show the readers of the Journal fuller figures, and hope to make it so plain a benefit that even tho man who is, on principle, opposed to voting bonds, will mako an excep- tion in this case. If the competition by the A. & N. interest shall bo such as we think it will be, the Journal does not for a moment doubt that tho people of Platte county will save $100,000 the very first year, enough, if then ap- plied, to pay the entire expense of tho road. Along: tlic Iinc. From a lengthy editorial in the Lincoln Journal setting forth the advantages to Lincoln of the pro- posed road, we clip: "Propositions have been submitted all alon? the proposed line oj the Lincoln and Northwestern It. R. as far as C olum-bu- s, and the prospects are good for the success of the bonds and the building of the road. There is little doubt that this city or the precincts in which it lies, whichever way the bonds may be (submitted here, will vote the compara- tively small sum agreed upon between the projectors of the line and the public meeting recently held here $25,000 in bonds or 95 per cent, of that amount iu cash." At Seward the people became dis- gusted with the talk of Claudius Jones and E. C. Carnes, of a straw railroad, and are enthusiastically in favor of the new lino from Liucoln, to be built by the A. & N. interest. The county has been asked $30,000 ; the precincts, $39,000, all that they can legally vote. The Reporter publishes a letter from a business mau in Tecumseh, whoso name we do not now recall, which shows in what estimation the management is held : "I have been acquainted with the management of the A. k S. company from its iuccption up to the present time, and ean conscientiously recom- mend it to your people as being excep- tionally libcr.il in its management. It identities itself with the people in all their interests,and is in no sense a 'soul- less corporation.' Xo other road in the west cau boast of equal popularity with the people on its line. 31 r. L. V. Tow nc, the present Superintcndant, is emphatically a people's man. He is a (rank, genial, approachable gentleman, and a thorough business man, and al- ways keeps his word. The people of your county can relyjupon any reprcsen-tatation- s lie makes to them, aud the faithful performance of any contracts entered into. In Butler county the question of voting bonds has been submitted, to the county at large for $53,000; and to Union precinct for $5,000; to Center for $3,000; to Savannah for $8,000 ;to Olive for $3,000; Franklin, $17,000; Ulysscs,$9,000; Spurck, $8,-50- 0, the election to tako place on the 5th day of June next. Actions Speak: Louder than Word. Columhus, May 20, 1S79. Editor Journal: I find in a copy of your paper of Sept. 25th, 1878, a report of the proceedings of the Platto county republican con- vention held at engine house, in Columbus, on Saturday, Sept. 21st, 1878, from which I make the follow- ing extract: "On motion of Cotton of Monroe the "following resolutions were unanimous-'adopte- d: "Jtesolved, That the delegates who "shall be elected by this convention arc "hereby directed to support no cand- idate for state or national om'ce who is "known to be identified with rings or "combinations which mainly represent "tne interests oi monopolies and wealthy "corporations, as against the interests "of the people generally. "Resolved, That it is very unjust and "oppressive to the inhabitants of this "state for the railroads to charge higher "rates for carrying our wheat and other "products to market at this time of "financial depression, while labor and "material of every kind arc exceedingly "cheap, and that toe favor wholesome "laws that will regulate and limit these "charqes." I remember the day and the occa- sion as if it were but yesterday. Loveland of Columbus arose aud said : "I oppose those resolutions because "they are not half strong enough forme. 'The Union Pacific Rail Itoad Co. are a "grasping, soulless monopoly, shower-"in- g favors to a few, but grinding the "very life out of the masses. I am a "workingman and a farmer, and I am iu "favor of anything that will protect "their interests. Hut these resolutions, "as 1 said before, are not half strong "enough, aud I doubt if language can be "found to adequately express my con-"tem- pt for that Union Pacific monopoly. ".Now 1 know what I am talking about; "as most of you know I have sold co- nsiderable lumber here the past few "years, aud we have had to pay that "U. P. Company ten dollars for'every "car load hauled over that bridge at "Omaha about three miles while they "haul it from Omaha here, ninety-tw- o 'miles, for twenty-eig- ht dollars. Now "that is an outrage upon the citizens of vaeurasKa, ami l nope to sec a law "passed by our Legislature next winter "to do away with that extortion. An-"oth- er thing, their freight rates arc out "of all reason just as high as they were "six years ago while labor and produce are only worm hair as much. It eosts "just abut as much to get a bushel of "wheat from here to Omaha, 92 miles, as "it does from Omaha to Chicago, 500 "miles. I want to sec those resolutions "unanimously adopted by this conven-"tion- ." (Applause and cheers.) In the Journal of Oct. 16th, 1878, in a biographical sketch of the lie-public- an candidate for Hepresenla-tiv- o of the 52d district, I find the following: "As much has been said in this cam- paign about corporations, we arc au- thorized by Mr. Loveland to state that "be is opposed to monopolies of every "sort and name. He pledges "himself to stand by the record of his "life a a workingman in opposing every "species of extortion and wrong. This man Loveland was elected and while the legislature was in session a special committee of five was appointed for the purpose of investigating the tariffs of the rail roads of this state, with full power to send for persons aud papers, and report by bill. Mr. Lovolaud was a member of that committee, and they NEVER MADE ANY REPORT. Shameful and outrageous as that record is it is not all that must now be kept in public mind. "While the legislature was still in session, a prominent official of the Union Pacific Rail Road Co. was in Co-lnmb- us inquiring as to the responsi- bility and qualifications of D. C. Loveland, who had applied to that "monopoly" for a leading position of official capacity, and ready to assume control as soon as the ses- sion 6hou!d adjourn. For some reason, best known to the parties iu interest, his commis- sion has not yet arrived, for he is "lying around loose" playing tail to the U. P. bond kite in Platte county, and fluukeying to the officials of that "soulless corporation" that, a few months ago, he could not find language sufficiently strong to ex- press his abhorrence of. I humbly beg your pardon, Mr. Editor, for using so much valuable space iu your paper, in exposing an adventurer that has so completely gulled the citizens of the 52d repre- sentative district, and with this, will let him rest with the contempt he so richly deserves.

A reign of terror still continuesin Russia on account of 60 manyIncendiary fires. Many arrests havebeen made.

Two cniLiiREN of Frank Carroll,of Vandalia, 111., were burned todeath last week while playing in acrib filled with corn husks.

The Germans in diplomatic cir-

A WATER-srou- T burstcd in thewestern part of the city of Louis-ville, Ky., on the 15th, which didconsiderable damage to property,but the peoplo escaped with theirlives.

"We learn that 50,000 Switzers ex-

The scnato last week refused tostrike out the clause in the bill di-

recting the payment of arrears ofpensions from the ten millions re-

serve for redemption of fractionalcurrency.

At Columbus, S. C, on tho 13lh,the confederate monument erectedin the Capitol Square by the ladies'association, was unvailcd with im-

posing ceremonies in tho presenceof 1100 people.

The colored people in tho southappear to comprehend the legisla-tion attempting to be pressed upontho nation by tho democrats of con-

gress, and are fleeing from the southby hundreds and thousands.

A general principle Is variouslyexpressed, thus: "It is biting off alittle more than he can chew;" "itIs taking into the mouth a little morethan can bo swallowed;" "it ispicking up more than can be carriedaway."

Boone Saxton, living near Pa-piliio- n,

last week laid down iu theprairie grass and fell asleep, and thegrass in some way caught fire andburned him to death. Ho diedbefore he could be removed fromtho.ground.

"Cosmoline is tho trade name forone of the nearly solid petroleumcompounds, as kcroscno is for oneof the liquids." It is spoken of invery high terras " as an externalapplication to raw surfaces, burns,and wherever a soothing ointmentis desirable.

Gen. Kennard Gerrard died atCincinnati, Ohio, on the 15th. Hewas a bravo soldier in the U. S.arm during the late rebellion.Starting as an officer iu a cavalrycompany for gallantry on the fieldof battle iu several instances he rosestep by step and was finally brevet-te- d

Major General.One hundred aud twenty thous-

and colliers were iu conference atBarusby, England, on the 14th, anddecided to demand ten per cent, in-

crease on pay aud if refused to stopwork. They will bold another con-

ference soon to give formal noticeof the strike, which promises to bewonderful in proportions.

The first number of the NationalView published at Washington Cityunder the management of LeeCran-da- ll

has been received. The me-

chanical execution of it is neat, anddoubtless it will be a strong advo-

cate of the principles of the Green-

back party. It will be a good me-

dium through which an explanationmay be given of the favorite meas-

ure of the party for issuing $1,000,-000,00- 0

of legal-tend- er paper money.

Competition gives between Chi-

cago and New York, 900 miles, 15

to 20 cts. a hundred pounds for carrying wheat.

Chicago Journal says " there'sa pin loose in Nebraska lynchpin." Yes a little bit irregular.Desperate cases need desperateremedies.

There was a report reached Nor-folk, Neb., last week that the Spot-

ted Tail Indians had shot and killedone of McCann's herders on thoNiobrara river. The Indians bad alarge number of ponies stolen-b- y

white men and had recovered near-l- y

two hundred and it is supposedthat the Indians mistook the herderfor a horse thief and shot him.There nppcars to be no necessity foralarm, on account of the appearanceof Iudians in the Elkhorn valley.

The case or Standing Bear, thePonca Indian habeas corpus caserecently pending in tho U. S. Courtat OmaBa, was decided last week,and is regarded as of very greatimportance to the Indian bureau at"Washington, as well as to the wholerace of Indians within our borders.The present decision of the courtuot only releases Standing Bear audhis party from the custody of thoarmy, but prohibits the use of thearmy to force Indian tribes to re-

side on reservations against theirwill. The district attorney Lam-berts- on

has appealed the case to thecircuit court, and we presume itcvcutually will be taken to the su-

preme court.

Presidet Hayes on tho 12th re-

turned to the house of representa-tives the bill entitled "Au act toprohibit military interference atelections, with his objections whichcontains some unanswerable argu-ments against the bill. He says "allthe teaching of experience iu thepast history of the nation favor thesustaining of the law of 1792, 1795

and 1807 and remained the law untilJuly 29, 1SC1, when the same pro-

visions substantially were incorpo-

rated into the present law and ap-

proved by President Lincoln. It isthe 6a me law in principle underwhich President Washington sup-

pressed the rebellion in Pennsylva-nia iu 1791. President Jeffersonbroke up tho Burr conspiracy iu1S0G on tho same principle aud underthe 6arac law. President Jacksoncrushed nullification iu South Caro-

lina; with tho same authority Pres-

ident Lincoln put down tho greatrebellion of 1861. It would not doin an' possible view of the caso totake away the power of the govern-ment to use the military in checkingunlawful resistauce to the laws ofthe nation. Viewing the bill in thislight President Hayes was compell-ed veto the bill, which otherwisewould have left tho governmentwithout legal authority to enforcethe laws and preserve the peaco ofthe nation.

Tho larger items aro wheat, lumber,merchandise and coal. All the itemsgiven have increased, some of themwonderfully, but, for present pur-poses, we will tako the abovo fig-

ures.Suppose competition in markets

and transportation gives us Avecents a bushel more for wheat, wewould have, counting $17.50 to thecar, $30,817.50; counting $3 a tonsaved on coal, we should have $G,-33- 0;

counting $22.00 a car on lum-

ber (the difference in price just nowbetween U. P. rates from Chicagohere, and A. & N. rates from Chica-go to Lincoln) and on CS7 cars weshould gain $15,526; these threeitems alone would make a pure gainto us of $52,073.50, in ono year.Saying nothing about gain on theother 490 cars coming from or goingeast, wouldn't it be advisable tovote bonds for $100,000, which willcost us only $8,000 a year interestfor the next ten years?

"We expect in the next three weeksto show the readers of the Journalfuller figures, and hope to make itso plain a benefit that even tho manwho is, on principle, opposed tovoting bonds, will mako an excep-tion in this case.

If the competition by the A. & N.interest shall bo such as we think itwill be, the Journal does not for amoment doubt that tho people ofPlatte county will save $100,000 thevery first year, enough, if then ap-

plied, to pay the entire expense oftho road.

Along: tlic Iinc.From a lengthy editorial in the

Lincoln Journal setting forth theadvantages to Lincoln of the pro-

posed road, we clip:"Propositions have been submitted all

alon? the proposed line oj the Lincolnand Northwestern It. R. as far as C olum-bu- s,

and the prospects are good for thesuccess of the bonds and the buildingof the road. There is little doubt thatthis city or the precincts in which itlies, whichever way the bonds may be(submitted here, will vote the compara-tively small sum agreed upon betweenthe projectors of the line and the publicmeeting recently held here $25,000 inbonds or 95 per cent, of that amount iucash."

At Seward the people became dis-

gusted with the talk of ClaudiusJones and E. C. Carnes, of a strawrailroad, and are enthusiastically infavor of the new lino from Liucoln,to be built by the A. & N. interest.

The county has been asked $30,000 ;

the precincts, $39,000, all that theycan legally vote. The Reporterpublishes a letter from a businessmau in Tecumseh, whoso name wedo not now recall, which shows inwhat estimation the management isheld :

"I have been acquainted with themanagement of the A. k S. companyfrom its iuccption up to the presenttime, and ean conscientiously recom-mend it to your people as being excep-tionally libcr.il in its management. Itidentities itself with the people in alltheir interests,and is in no sense a 'soul-less corporation.' Xo other road in thewest cau boast of equal popularity withthe people on its line. 31 r. L. V.Tow nc, the present Superintcndant, isemphatically a people's man. He is a(rank, genial, approachable gentleman,and a thorough business man, and al-

ways keeps his word. The people ofyour county can relyjupon any reprcsen-tatation- s

lie makes to them, aud thefaithful performance of any contractsentered into.

In Butler county the question ofvoting bonds has been submitted, tothe county at large for $53,000; andto Union precinct for $5,000; toCenter for $3,000; to Savannah for$8,000 ;to Olive for $3,000; Franklin,$17,000; Ulysscs,$9,000; Spurck, $8,-50- 0,

Actions Speak: Louder thanWord.Columhus, May 20, 1S79.

Editor Journal: I find in acopy of your paper of Sept. 25th,1878, a report of the proceedings ofthe Platto county republican con-

vention held at engine house, inColumbus, on Saturday, Sept. 21st,1878, from which I make the follow-ing extract:

"On motion of Cotton of Monroe the"following resolutions were unanimous-'adopte- d:

"Jtesolved, That the delegates who"shall be elected by this convention arc"hereby directed to support no cand-idate for state or national om'ce who is"known to be identified with rings or"combinations which mainly represent"tne interests oi monopolies and wealthy"corporations, as against the interests"of the people generally.

"Resolved, That it is very unjust and"oppressive to the inhabitants of this"state for the railroads to charge higher"rates for carrying our wheat and other"products to market at this time of"financial depression, while labor and"material of every kind arc exceedingly"cheap, and that toe favor wholesome"laws that will regulate and limit these"charqes."

I remember the day and the occa-

sion as if it were but yesterday.Loveland of Columbus arose audsaid :

"I oppose those resolutions because"they are not half strong enough forme.'The Union Pacific Rail Itoad Co. are a"grasping, soulless monopoly, shower-"in- g

favors to a few, but grinding the"very life out of the masses. I am a"workingman and a farmer, and I am iu"favor of anything that will protect"their interests. Hut these resolutions,"as 1 said before, are not half strong"enough, aud I doubt if language can be"found to adequately express my con-"tem- pt

for that Union Pacific monopoly.".Now 1 know what I am talking about;"as most of you know I have sold co-nsiderable lumber here the past few"years, aud we have had to pay that"U. P. Company ten dollars for'every"car load hauled over that bridge at"Omaha about three miles while they"haul it from Omaha here, ninety-tw- o

'miles, for twenty-eig- ht dollars. Now"that is an outrage upon the citizens ofvaeurasKa, ami l nope to sec a law

"passed by our Legislature next winter"to do away with that extortion. An-"oth- er

thing, their freight rates arc out"of all reason just as high as they were"six years ago while labor and produce

are only worm hair as much. It eosts"just abut as much to get a bushel of"wheat from here to Omaha, 92 miles, as"it does from Omaha to Chicago, 500"miles. I want to sec those resolutions"unanimously adopted by this conven-"tion- ."

(Applause and cheers.)In the Journal of Oct. 16th, 1878,

in a biographical sketch of the lie-public- an

candidate for Hepresenla-tiv- o

of the 52d district, I find thefollowing:

"As much has been said in this cam-paign about corporations, we arc au-

thorized by Mr. Loveland to state that"be is opposed to monopolies of every"sort and name. He pledges"himself to stand by the record of his"life a a workingman in opposing every"species of extortion and wrong.

This man Loveland was electedand while the legislature was insession a special committee of fivewas appointed for the purpose ofinvestigating the tariffs of the railroads of this state, with full powerto send for persons aud papers, andreport by bill. Mr. Lovolaud wasa member of that committee, andthey NEVER MADE ANY REPORT.Shameful and outrageous as thatrecord is it is not all that mustnow be kept in public mind. "Whilethe legislature was still in session,a prominent official of the UnionPacific Rail Road Co. was in Co-lnmb- us

inquiring as to the responsi-bility and qualifications of D. C.Loveland, who had applied to that"monopoly" for a leading positionof official capacity, and ready toassume control as soon as the ses-

sion 6hou!d adjourn.For some reason, best known to

the parties iu interest, his commis-sion has not yet arrived, for he is"lying around loose" playing tail tothe U. P. bond kite in Platte county,and fluukeying to the officials ofthat "soulless corporation" that, afew months ago, he could not findlanguage sufficiently strong to ex-

press his abhorrence of.I humbly beg your pardon, Mr.

Editor, for using so much valuable

space iu your paper, in exposing anadventurer that has so completelygulled the citizens of the 52d repre-

sentative district, and with this,will let him rest with the contempthe so richly deserves.
