Dana cannot lose sight of what he terms the “great fraud” whereby Congress declded Hayes elected President; but then Dana forgets that it bis assertion that Hayes secured his seat by fraud were true, that those noble Democrats in Congrees who voted in his favor, and by their votes le- galized his title beyond any appeal, would have to investigate them. silver orelse declare themselves lunatics. — Miuier’s known hostility to na- tional banks and bond holdingspec- ulators has, as the Hera'd informs us, indused him to oppose silver re- monetization. Aocording to his ex- pressed belief the passage of such an act would raduce the price of labor, and in consequence operate in the interests of the weslthy to the dis- advantage of the working classes. Tals is the first time this noble guardian of working men’s inter- ests Las stemmed the popular tide in advocacy of a causein which no one not possessed of a superhuman intellect could; comprebend dau- ger to the labor classes, and yet, alas for the rarity of human charity, not oneout of a hundred of the orkingmen has even one word of thanks to offer 1 acknowledg- ment of Miller's gratuitous services, EXAGGERATION OF HIGH SUHOOL EXPENSKS. ‘The opponents of the High Bchool in this city have taken the figures of expenses in conductiug the cen- tial school building as a basis for misrepresenting the average cost per hesd of each scholar. In doing this they have charged up all the coal consumed in heating the pri- mary and other departments against the High Bchool classes alone and thereby produce the figures of $80 per head as the annual cost of main- taining the High Bchool classés, If the High School classes were abol- ished as they wozld wish and the bulldicg were only used for the otber grades the cost of heating would, however, not be less than it isnow. That the greater portion of the building and bulk of attendants at that school are not High School gcholars is well known. This strange method of charges alone makes a difference of twenty-five per cent of the cost per head and instead of eighty dollars the actual figure are but sixty dollars. The fact that the attendance at the High School is increasing snd that it costs no more to teach a large than a small number evidences s gradual decrease per head each year. SILVER xEMONETIZING SUSTER- FUGES, Seuator Blains has Introduced a bili for erlver remonetization which cannot be characterized otner than « first-class fraud. 1t contemplates legalizing ouly five dollar tenders of silver, and requires payments for eamounts in excess of five dollars to be halt in gold and half in silver. “The fact that various other measures by Eastern Senators with somewhat similar provisions, have been intro. duced, shows them to be a part of a scheme gotten up to create confu- sion and defeat the oLly clear pro- position—that of Bland’s—which is to reslore the legal tender of silver to it originel status before the treacherous bill of demonetization was ‘smuggled through Congress. BSenator Bisine, a year ago, was the recipient of strong and even entliu- sinstio support of the entire ‘west, his present attempt to sustan the Wall Street sharks to the detri ment of popular in‘ereats, and par. ticularly those of the West, cannot bus lose him their fature endorse- ment. The silver proposition of Bland's is either right or else it is all wrong. If rignt, then it should be sustained and the law which was repealed by sly Congressional bull- dozers should be restored. Ifitis wrong it should b opposed for its demerits, No evasion by subter- foges of complicated amendments ‘or gubstitutes b: 1s, drawa up to con- fuse the main issze, will satisfy the .- NEEDED REFORMS IN THE IV TEREST OF IMMIGRATION. Now that the public assessor will ®oon be coming arcund to appraiee taxable property, would it not by Omaba and the county should advertised ss_declining in value, and the rate of taxation by its ex- orbitous appearance should scare off capitaliste whoseek to investin lots or lands. If Douglas coun- ty takes tue lead in the desirable reform of assessing prop- erty at its full value and fixing therate of taxation proportionately less it will not be long before the same course will be followed by oth- er counties and if not legislation can effect the result. Whet Douglas county and what Nebraska needs is immigration. That can not be accomplished by advertising high rates of taxation. An advance in appraisement of property to its real instead of one half its valoe will not, it uniformly adopted, affect the actusl amount of taxation out it will reduce the rate of taxation fifty per cent. and that alone will.materially encourage in- yestments by thoae who have occa- sion to inquire as to the rate of taxes in the State. UNJUST AN UDULENT TAX- ATION, Hon. J. 8. Gibson, in acard to the Herald, very clearly exposes the de- plorable practice now in vogue in this State in the appraisal of public Iands and property for taxation. His proposed remedy, by tne crea tion of & State board of appraisers to pereonally inspect once in a regular specified period of years all lands in the State, and fix a specified valua- tion which ehall form the basis for all local appraisers, is & good one. Such a bill properly framed should bo passed, or elee some gener- al sct whereby all property shall be asseesed at full value s needed. We extract from Mr. Gib- son’s very interesting exhibit for 1876, the following, to show the jin- justioe of the present system of pun- lic appraisewment: The average valuation of land in the State that year $3.49 peracre, Douglas county’s average was $8.25. Nearly three times the average, while Dodge county, adjoining, was §3.49, the exact average; Saurders county sdjrining, $330. Merrick county, one hundred miles west of those two countiee, average value $5.09, while Cass county, near us on the south, only $4 76, Pawnes, per- hape one of the best counties in the Btate, valued at $3.58. The same inequality prevails throughout the State, but this will sufficeon this pomnt. And again in the valuation of per- sonal property, the average valua. tion for horses In the States was $36.60. Sherman county assesses her horses at an average of $61.27, while Cuming county values hers at $15 94: onlya little more than one- fourth the value of Sherman coun- ty horses. The same variation pre- vails throughout the entire State in the valuation of personal property common to sll alike. There wes $365,881.39 assessed that yesr on mortgages, of which Douglas county was sssessed on $160,884.00, nearly one.half of the entire amount, while the counties of Bart, Buffalo, Butler, Colfax, Cum- ing, Dixon, Hall, Jefferson, John- soh, Otoe, Pawnee, Platte, Richard- son, bewsard, and some others, are not assessed on this class at all. Alter additional exbibit of previ- ous years showing still more fla- gran. injustice and discrimination, Mr. Gibson very justly concludes: I do not believe the fault to be in valuing Douglas county property too high, but in valuing other counties too low. There seems to be a fear in many of the countiesof paving more than their proportion of the State tax, and the officials nave resorted to the extreme messure of fixing an unjust sud fraudulent valustion on the prop- erty leaying the burden of bearing our State expense upon those who seem to have had a higher regard to their ‘obligations ‘as officials and Bristow on Reform, From His Speech at Boston. ‘Tne csuse in wnich we have en- listed is in the interest of the high- est good of civil government, and has for its purpose lasting benefit to all the people. The cause may be denided and its strength despieed by the friends of the old system which we attack. 8o was the anti-slavery cause, and 80 were the men who de voted themselvesto it. Let us, then, carry the standard high; let us maintamn the intrenched 'poeition which we have alraady achieved in- side the great Republican party of the country. The cause of reform in the hands of brave men will not be put down by the scoffs and deris- ion of its enemies. Thecharge that reformers are mere doctrinaires, aad impracticable in politics, is fully met by the declaration of the Cincinnati plattorm that it is entirely consistent with all we claim that the party in power should have those paces where har- mony and vigor of administration require its policy to be 1epresented. The party which_is able to elect & Presinedt of the United States can always furnish from 1ts own ranks for such places wen who fill the highest requirements of a true civil service; but the choice of theee the executive must be left free and un- trammeled by dictation from those who have been chasen to represent the people in the legislative branch of the government. By the adop- tion of this principle iu the admin. jstration we may expect elevation and greater efficiency m our civil | service, and corresponding beneft’ to the legislative department. Let us remember that where principle is luvolved concession is dangerous and compromise disastrous. pl—————— The Storm Blown Over. Baltimore Geustte. Ben.

Maine Agricultaral College is in excellent condition and has & large number of students. The terms :nve been reduced from three to WO, Trinity College, Oxford, has elect- ed Dr. Newman to an honorary fel- lowship. Itis craditable to Trinity College to have o far overcome the odium theologicum which makes it so difficult to do justice to the genius of a Catholic, as to have conferred this honor at all upon a fatherof the oratory of St. Philip Neri, and the greatest of the English converts to Rome. The trustees of John Hopkins University have decided that it 18 impracticable to adopt the sagges- tion of the Maryland BState Teach- ers’ Assoclation “‘whether it would be for the public good toissue two series of text-books from the prima- ry up to the university, one in Eng- lish, Latin anu Greek classics, and the other on mathematics, system- aucally graduated, so that each page in each book be complete(n itself up to that stage of progress.” An energetic writer in the Boston Transcript complaias that m high school education there is too much text book aid—memory being made to do the work of analysis, judg- ment, reasoning; too many studies; unwise division of studies ; too many insufficiently trained teach. ers,and a lack of ethical instruc- tion. Of this last fauit he says. “I would sweep out a great deal of the study now 1n our schools to make room for moral philoeophy, for eth- ies and for political economy. It is aself evident fact that parents are lessening their home instryction. It is an unfortunate trath to contemplate, but, indeed, a truth. More and more is home training on vital rules of conduct and motive transferred to the Sun- day school and to the public school. We must recognized the fact, and master the situation. Pour into our free schools more instruction in morals, a thorough drill in ethics, end ample study of the Iaw that should regulate the relations of so- cial orders, labor and capital. e cure teachers of recognized moral power and unblemished rectitude. 1f we do wot rear honorable, high- minded, progressive men and Wwo- men by this course, then we must acknowledge & permanent defeat.” A Gift to the Nation. Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, of New York, (may ker tribe_increase) has purchssed Carpenter’s great paint- ing ot President wLincoln and his Cabinet, 8o familiar with the people of theeountry from the engraying of the work. President Lincoln ex- pressed the desire before his death that the picture should belong to the nation. For many years Mr. Car- penter tried m van to have Con- gress pass a law providing for its purchase, and had given up the matter as impossible. Now comes Mrs, Thompson, Who Writes a letter to the Sen- ate and House of Representatives, gracefally apologizing for the non- action of Congress, and eays that believing the painting should be. come the property of the nation, and that the historic picture should be preserved, she has purchased ihe same, and requests the Senate and House to receive it as a free gift from her to the people of the United States, and that February 12th next, the birthdsy of Lincoln, be set apart by Congress for its formal reception. The memorial of the lady was read by the Clerk, and a joat reso- lution offered by Mr. Garfleld was then adopted, accepting the gift, giving Mrs. Thompson the thanks of Congress, and directing the Li- brary Committee to make arrange- meuts to receive the picture formal- Iy on February 12tb, and give it & conspicuous place in the Capitol. Mrs. Thompson will also receivethe thanks of the country for he oble present. The picture, so far as the likenees of Mr. Lincoln is concerned, is a striking success. ~That of Mr. Stanton is lifelike in the extreme. Mr. Beward’s is very good, ard that of Bates tolerable. But the painting of Mr. Chase, who had the nobleet, tace, head and figure in the cabinet, ‘was such a failure that it destroyed to a great extent the value of the whole picture. But Mrs. Thomps>n is not to blame for this, snd wWe thank her for placing the work permunently in the capitol Influx of Gold. N. Y. Herald, 2Ist. ‘'he Cunard steamer Abyssinia, which left Liverpool on Saturday, carries two hundred thousand pounds, or one million dollars in gold eagles, which had been drawn trom the Bank of Englaud for ship- ment to this city. The London Times of the same day, inits finan- cial article, which is excellent au- thority, stated that a similar amount would be withdrawn from the bank on that day for transmission to New York; and the Economist, alzo & re- liable source of information, anticl patesa further drain for the same tination durlng the present week. s heavy shipment of gold indi- cates that larga prrohasesare oxpect- ed tobe made here for exportation to Eogland, and excites the be- lief that the English government may be in the market as s buer, probably, of breadstuffs and other supplies, atd possibly of war mate- rials. Fortunately we have supplies ot grain, flour, hogs and beef on hand ampie to meet the demands of our foreign customers without cramping our home market or m: terially affecting prices, and an ac- tive shipping trade this winter will be of widespread advantage to the country. It will benefit the West- ern Btiates and the trunk railroad lines, as well as our own city, will give employment to labor and’ will Iny the foundation for a good spring trade for our dry goods, grocery and other wholesale houses. van Such Things Be? Washington Special to Jincinnati Enquirer. Since the reassembling of congress there has been such a noticeable ar- mistice in the Hayes.Conkling war that considerable curiosity has been expressed as to the cause of 1t. Pos- sibly an explanatfon msy be de. duced from the fact that Benators Hamlin and Bisine and Representa- tive Reed, of Maine, were closeted with Hayes upward of an hour yes- terdsy. As a result of their confer- ence the rumor has crept out that Biaine has made peace with the president—or, in other words, has, in coneideration of sundry loaves and fishes, recolved to look out for be interests of James G. Blaine et al., rather than to allow himself to be used as 8 cat's paw to pull Conkling’s chestnuts out of the fire. Public squaresare a great blessing to the community.

In #f anything, iron work- ers are worse off than in the United Btates, and the coal trade necessarily falls off from sny failure in iron manufacture. The dectease in the demand for finished productsof iron in rogland is much greater than the decreased demand for pig iron. The crude iron is now exported in con- siderable quantities to Germany. The Germans find_they can impott English pig for less money than they.can make pig iron from their own ores. But this is not the worst ofit; with their cheap and expert Iabor and thnifty management they manufacture the iron and re- eell it in Eugland, under the very moses of their English competitors. The English news- papers complain that that country is not only paring with its- reserve wealth but losing the profits and wages earned in working up the raw material by ironmasters, coal own- ers and work people. They serve notice upon employers and trades- unions alike that, unless they take measures to avert the danger witn which they are menaced Kngland will lose her pre-eminence as the great iron manufacturerof the world, which & few years ago seemed &g sured to her. It is not the policy of England to export any crude mater- ial unti 1t has been put into the form of manufactured merchandise, upon which a8 much Jabor has been expended as can pos- sibly be made profitable. In Btaf- fordehire the falling off in the fin- ished iron trade has been eo large that botk mines and manufactories bave been closed that have been in operation steadily for the past fifty years. In Bouth Staffordshire, for instance, the pumps which are em- ployed to keep the coal mines drained have been stopped, aud the mines are being steadily drowned ont. A comparison shows that the value of the shares in fifty-nine iron companies in Yorkshire hasde- preciated twenty per cent. in thelast ten years. This depreciation is due tothe dropping off in the price of steel, which bas sunk one-third in yalue since 1873. The primary cause of this colla) in the iron and coal trade is attrl ted to the same source in England s in the United States —the sudden paralysis with which railway enter- prise was smitten in 1873. The vast extension of railwaysin all civilized countries, aud the substitution to & great extent of iron for wood in shipbuilding, gave an extraordinary stimulus to production. Iron manu- facture was fostered by every oon- ceiyable means, Rallroads were ouilt that were not needed, and so many enterprises were undertaken upon borrowed capital that finally the dizscreait brought about by bad investments did its perect work, financial credit in every part of the world. To England the troubles of the 1ron irade have been somew hat mit- igated by a continued heavy de- mand for raroad iron In India, Australia and Russia, and by the impetus given to iron ship-building by the opening of the Suez canal But the most hopeful iron-masters are somewhat despondent as to the tature, The new turn given to the trade by the eubstitution of steel for iron for many purposes requires great ouilsay 1 changing the processes of manufaclure. This change, however, appears to be necessary, and is slowly bemg ac- complished. In the mesntime there is a stoppage of trade and a_period of great disturbance between em- ployers and workmen. During the past year there have been 191 strikes. This season of paralysis will undoubtedly work to the disad- vantage of England and to the ad vantage of all her rivals, both in Europe and America, and in _this view we are not called upon to shed any tears over It, although we can- not rejoice. The Pipe Line Controversy. Philadelphia Ledger. The transportation of the seaboard oil from the mouth of the pipes is divided, therefore, between the Pennsylyania Railroad, the New York Central Railroad, the Erie Railway and the Baltimore aad Ohio Railroad Companies, each of which has connections into the oil region. 'Lhe first named road, how- ever, on account of the advantages of its geographical position, and from the fact that it reaches three seaboard points, New York, Phila- delphia and Baltimore, is enabled to carry the bulk of this trade, and up- on which the State receives large revenues in the shape of a tax upon the gross receipts. Under arrange- ments entered intosome months ago for a division of the oil traffic be- tween the companies before men- tioned, which has worked fairly, Doth to the producers and the trans- porters, each line receives its share of the oil tradeat paying prices,and tha ruinous cowpetition which for- merly existed is entirely done away with, The Standard O1l Company, owing to the majority of pipe lines 1n the region, and also reflneries of the oil region and at Pittsburg, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, 18 the largest ship- per of oil in the district. The fact that so large a percentage of the oil is exported makes it really to the interest of the Btste of Pennsylva. nia and the general public that the price of oil should be kept up, 8s the difference between say 123 and twenty-five cents per gallon will make a difference in tire value of the exports of the country of nearly thirty millions of doliars per year. Another fact, which may not be generaily understood, is that the diffcrence between 13} and 25 cents alluded to would not affect, and hasnot in the past materially affected, the consumption. Oil at twenty-five cents per gallon on ves- gels at the American seaboard is the chespest light that can be used in any part of Europe, and its con- sumption in foreign countries is steadily increasing. it is not be- lieved, therefore, that the Legisla- tare of the State will favor a scheme the effect of which would be to de- prive the people of Pennsylvania of twenty-five millions of dollars per annum and the State of the large revenue which she gets upon this traffio from the railwsye. ‘The Parent of Insomnia. in nine cases out of ten a dys} Good digestion gives sound tion interferes withit.
