THE DAILY BEE. Tamry-rovk Gravgers, led by Church Howe, representing all there is left of the organization that counted s members in Nebraska by the tens of thousands less than three yoars ago, called upon Governor Nance. Thirty- four dupes of & Togue who was man- aging the grange in the interest of monopolies, and who bonsted that he was drawing §1,000 a year from the Union Pacific as head Granger, &nd demanded an equal sum from the B. &M Txr comments of the Governor of Kanses in his recent message upon the raid of the Cheyonnes last sum- mer, and his recommendations to pre- wvent a future recurrence of such out- rages, should commend themselves to the legislature of Nebraska as well as that of Kansas. The Kansas Governor says, touching this important subject: “The duty of the hour is not so much 1o deal with the past, but to lock to the future with a determination that a repetition of these outrages shall never sgain occur in our State. I therefore respectfully recommend that an appropriation be made as military contingent fund, sufficient in amount, should circumstances st any time re- quire it, to uniform, mount, equip Aud pay a limited number of re- liable, discrect men under command of an efficient officer, whose duty it shall be, at such timesand places as may be deemedyadyisable, to act as a patrol on the fro promptly give numaiug of danger; and thus the citizen, having due notice and promptly sided in his * defense by the State, could be made sscure in the enjoyment of his li and property. Aud I further recom- mond that a committee be appointed to ascertain the extent of the damage sastained by citizens from the raid by said Indians, to the end that neces- sary steps may be taken to secure the payment therenf.” — i any seli-confessed accessory of an embezzling county or State officer, should undertake to dictate the ap- pointment of the successor to the officer deposed for such criminal col- lusion, it would be generally regarded an unmitigated ontrage. But, it this State, and in these degenerate times, such an attempt is actually endorsed by papers and people who clsim to be reputable. Here, we have this man Newman, whom certain papers and people hold up as an honest man, and whom we know to be u dead-beat that hs swindled the publishers of thi paperout of several years’ subscription. This honest public officer, whose coufession has for months been on file at the Treasury Department, admitting over his own signature that he was an accessory of an embezzler, and that he knowingly lied under his official ©oath when he certified that the returns of his office were correct. Less than thirty days ago the Com- missioner of Internal Rovenue direct- 1 the late U. S, District Attorney to a complaint against this same rev- enue rogue Henry A. Newman, before a United States grand jury, becau:e in the Commiesioner’s opionion the previous grand jury had, in violation of its plain duty, failed to indict him. And now, in the face of ail these facts, some sympathizers with roguery have, it is reported, endorsed Newman for reappointment, while others insist Newmsn should name his successor. ——— UNIVERSITY CHANGELLORSEIP. Tue Bee has tvken no active part in the controversy over the Univgrsity Ohancellorship, mainly because we have been withoutreliable information coucerning the alleged abuses of trust on the past*of Chancetlor Fairfield. To a disinterested observer the con- teoversy has 8o far partaken too much of the character of a personal pigue, on the part of the editor of the Repub- lican, who has taken offerme at the Changellor’s treatment either of him self or some personal friend. Bince Mr. Brooks has made some specific charges of irregularities, it i, of course, behoove Chancellor Fairfield t> clear his skirts by demanding an investigation at the hands of the legis- lature. Upon the proposed reduction of salary to 81,5008 year, or the pro- posed abolition of the chancellorship, Tuz Bux deems it eminently proper n. this time to frankly express its views. The Nebraska University lie any other public institution where a di- ‘vision of suthority would tend to breed dissension and disorganization, should and must have a responsible hesd. Whether that head is known by the name of Chanceller, President or Su- perintendent is immaterial. No man should be clothed with the suvervis- ion of the Univemity who does o “ve duties. No man is capable of di- resting and_instructing such a faculty who is not himsslf a profound scholar aod experienced instructor. Such a ‘nan eannot be hired for $1,600 a year, and, in fact, s man possessing such rare qualifications, can with difficulty be found for $3,000 a year. The sals- ries of superintendents of public schools in leading cities of the Union range from $2,500 to $4,000 a year, and the salaries of heads of American colleges and universities average from £5,000t0 86,000ayear.

Its diction is lucid, concise and forcible; its scope covers the entire domain of natural productions, industrial ac- tivity and future development of Col- orado, We take pleasure in repro- ducing the following extracts from Governor Pitkins’ inauguralas a reflex of the elevated tone of this interesting State paper, andmore especiaily for the purposeof enlightening the readers of Tae Bes about the material pros- prosperity and future greatness of the baby State. Governor Pitkin's esti- mate of the position of chief execu- tiveis tersely expressed as follows: Regarding the offic to which T have been chosen as a sacred trust, to be administered for the benefit of every class of the people and every section of the State, with no benefit to my self, except the good name which I hope to secure and maintain among my fellow citizens, I shall bring to the discharge of its duties an honest en- deavor to faithfully execute the laws without fear and without favor. The marvellous growth of Colorado and her bright future are graphically portrayed as follows: Although the youngest State in the Union, Colorado is, with three ex- the measure of the value of mevey in this country! It is understood, of course, that in ordinary circumstances national credit ranks higher than corporate or individual credit, and the Four percont. standard can there- foro be used only approximately. But, keeping this distinction in view, does the progress of funding indicate alarge and lasting reduction in the eneral rates of interest, or is it in- icative merely of continued distrust and the consequent accumulations of idle capitall Referring to former remarks of The Times upon this subject, the Spring- field Republican hails the Four per cent. investments as implying “a great reduction in all interest”—as a “‘great cheapening of all capital,” with at- tendant relief to industries and enter- prises, Is the condition of things was generally healthy, the inference would be correct. If, with an aversge demand for capital, its loanable value declined, it would be safe to assume that the lower rate of interest is the result of causes on Which prudent business men may base their calcula- tions. But this hypothesis isat var- iance with facts. The cheapness of money represents, not its wholesame abundance, but the absence of desira- ble opportunities for its investment. Whether in London or New York, the position is susceptible of this con- struction and this only. Ordinary channels for the employment oi capi- tal are closed. Industries are de- ceptions, the largest in area. _Its ter ritory exceeds in extent the Kingdom of Great Britain. Twenty years ago ized community of n its limits. To- day itis covered with beautiful cities and ouishing towns whidy contain as many men _and women ol * ¥ of gence, education and culture, portion ttathe population, as the older States. On our piains, where twenty years ago nothing but the antelope and buf falo roamed, are to-day thousands of herds of cattle, horses and sheep, bringing most profitable returns to their owners. Along the valleys agri- culture is sacceesfully pursued. Searcely ten years ago, aud not a mile of railway had been constructed within ourlimits. To-day more than twelve hundred miles are in success ful operation, over 200 miles of which have been built within the past year. Several rival corporations are now pushing forward their iron lines with all possibleshaste to_secure for trans portation the wealth of the central, western and southwestern sections of the State. Where, a fow years ago, long cara- vans were moving westward from the Missouri river to supply our settl ments with the necessaries of life, we find to-day an endless succession of railway trains carrying to the east our surplus product of cattle, flour and The minaral weal'h of Colorado is described as follows ‘We have become the third mineral producing State in the Union. The ore which has given Colorado rank next to Nevada and California ha: hitherto been taken entirely from the counties of Gilpin, Clear Creck, Park, Boulder, and Summit. In those coun- ties the mines not only show no signs of exhaustion, but are improving as greater depth is attained. In very few of them has there been sufficient de- velopmento givethe advantageswhich have attended doeu\mmmg in other paris of the world. New mines are be- ing constantly discovered in these old- est mettled counties. Their ore pro- duct the past year has exceded that of any foriner year. The treasures of the San Juan country were unheard of until within the past iow years, and the rich placer claims in that locality are of more recent ¢iscoyery. For want of reduction works and markew for ores, and on ac- count of the great distance from rail- roads and the enormous —expense of transportation tn and from this mining distriot, it has scarcely bugan towards the nuneral produc- tions of the State. The past season has seen new works erected at varions localities for the treatment of ores, railroads are pushing on towards the mines, toll roads are being rapidly constructed, and there can be no doubt that in & short time the broad, rich and inexhaustible veins of San Juea will attraet world-wide atten- tion, and add millions of dollars where they new add thousands to the annual ore product of the State. Eighteen months ago Leadville wes unknown, and the mines in that local- ity were undiscovered. To-day it is the most famous mining camp in the 14 11 believed that the mines already discovered in that locality will pro- duce a greater amount of ore in 1879 than the entire State of Colorado has produced in any former year. No one can estimate at the present time the value of the discoveries now being made in the neighboring camps at Ten-mile and Elk mountains. The mining_interests at Rosita aro quite as promising as in any formor year, and with the preparations now being made for extensive workugs, we may expect a large increase in the ore product over previous years.§ WL R M W are entering upon a new era in our mining history.

The first and only favorable intimation comes to us through is willing to in money for rebuilding the Grand Central if other Omaha capital- ever, that several of the former own- ressed and enterprises suspended. When busiz.ess loans are effected, th rate charged for accommodation bears no proportion to the rate allowed on deposits or to the prices of consolsand United States bonds. The value of both of these securities has, then, a double significance. ~ So far as it ex- presses public confidence it the cred; of the two governments, it is satisfac tory. So far as it exemplifies the ab- sence of a legitimate business demand, and the prevalence of adistrust whose ramifications may be traced every- where, it is not a fit subject of gratulation. England and the States would both be better off if the tendency to invest in 33 consols and 4 per cent. bonds were not so pro- nounced as ic Wo aro reminded that “an enter- prise is now highly prosperous which pays 8 per cent. on a fair valuation, while capital used to demand 12.” Undoubtedly. During the last five years there have been enterprises of all kinds, previcusly prosperous, whose proprietors have been glad to make ends meet. The fact, however, can- not be accepted ss evidence of that “great cheapening of all capital which precedes a permanent lessening of the rate of interest. It has more significance as in_part an explanation of that withholdi of capitol from business projects which produced a financial plethora, and in turn ren- ders possible the sele of Four per conts on a large scale. Nor is the gen- ernl argument affected by the negoti ion of choice corporate loans at rates below thoso formerly paid. The Chi- cago and Rock Island Railroad orovided for the retirement of a 7 per cent. bond by the issue of a 6 per cent., which to-day yields the buyer not more than b} net. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road, which was content to pay 8 per cent., issues 17 per cent. consolidated, which at present prices does not yield more than 6 per cent. net. In either caso, the transaction on the part of the company has a more direct bearing on its improved credit than on the ques- tion of interest. The companies are able to obtain money on better terms than formerly, because_their financial conditi tronger. Railroads whose condition ia less favorable are obliged to pay the old rates, Yet if ‘“‘the great cheapening of all capital” were a. wholesome reality instead of an un- healthy symptom, the effect would be visible, ina greater or less degree, in ail directions. The change from depression to ac- tivity, from hard times to prosperity, will be gradual. In this country, at least, it has begun with a fair proapect of continuance. For a time, the pro- cess will not appreciably affect the prices of securities or check the flow of capital into the Four per cents. But it is unreasonable to suppose that these prices can be maintained, or that Four per cent. will satisfy the average invester, after confidence shall have been restored and ordinary outlets for capital reopened. The requirements of industry and business will give rise respond.

One hundred men are reported to be at work in the new placer mines recently discovered on the head waters of the Salinas River, San Louis Obispo County. ~ Gold and silver-bearing quartz has also been found in that vicinity. A corporation, with the title of the Western Electric Light Company, and a capital of £5,000,000, was organized in San Francisco last week, and_filed its articles of incorporation.

They may even suggest a revision of the opinion Hat the return of bonds from E is ablessing. But the country will have substantial reasons for being sat- isfied. Tt will recognize in the higher value of money, consequent upon &n demand, one of the signs of and business prosperity. not unlikely to occur isa nearer approach to equalization, as be- tween East and West, in the prevail- ing rates of interest. The attempt to make 4 per cent. a measure of values will not succeed, but it may be possible to lessen the difference in the rates obtaining in Iilinois and New York respectively. The governor of Michigan, in his message to the legis- lature, speaks of ‘‘a demand for the repeal of the provision authorizing contracts to be made at rates as high s 10 per cent.” If this be accom- plished, the uniform rate in the State Peo- | will be 7 per cent., at which rate, the Governor eays, “an abundance of money can now b obtoined” on real eetate security. It is possible that the Michigan farmers are misled by cir- cumstances as accidental as those which deceive some Eastorn At any rate, we know that one of the results of the inability find profitable employment for capital here has been the sending of large amounts westward for invest- ment_in mortgages. Lenders nave gone on their knees to borrowers, and the latter have no doubt, in some localities, obtained loans at the rate mentioned by Gov. Groswell. But it would be ture to infer from an exceptional fact that the western rato ©on mortgages has declined from 10 to 7 per cent.
