PHE DAILY BEE E. ROSEW ATER: EDITOR! Jorx Brioer in » long and power- ful apecch bas denounced the Irish 1and lesgue as degrading to the Lrish poople. John has never rented land a0 an Irish tenant or he would change his tune. Ir General Van Wyck was suseepti- ble of flattery and eoft wosp, he would doubtless fall into the embrace of the monopoly cappers that are now pouring inceuse at his fect, but Gen- n Wyck is & man of brains, and, withal, & man with fixed ideas and firm convictions. He can’t be eajoled into the spider's net by such flimay bait. eral Tre was iu the Transvaal is ex- citing general sympathy for the Boers. Germany and Holland have raised their voices in behalf of the nation who, after being four times driven_from their homes by British avarice, are mow fighting for their families and their independence. The British troops are finding the descen- dants of the Dutch farmers fiercer antagonists than the Zala eavages. Tae eastern question still hanzs fire, and the prospect of s pesceful solation of the dispute bet ween Greece and Tarkey grows daily more prob- able. The French government is tak- inga strong interest in the matier, and has given its official intimation to the porte that & fresh conference of the powers would be acceptable to France in conjunction with the other governments. Although the porte has formally declined the proffered arbi- tration France has not yet given up her project. M. Saint Helairo, the minister of foreign affairs, has devised plan for the pacification o! the east- ern embrogiio, which contemplates joiut action by Germany and France. There is lictle doubt that with concert of action between these two great pow- ers better resalts will follow than from the method which resulted in the Ber- lin conference sud the abortive naval demonstration. Tre San Francisco Chionicle says that ome of the sweetest epeeches that have issued from the lips of & Californis legislator for mavy & day was made by Felton, of San Mateo, on Tueaday. He said: “It is not tho quantity but the quality of legislation that is needed. 1f we pase five or six bills of gener.] importance, it is all that the people will ask usto do. To them we should devote carcful attention; and we will bave the time todo o if we give them th precedence.” This motto should be sommitted by every membar of the Nebraska legis- lature. It a mournful fact that three-quarters of the sessions of state legislatures are devoted to buncombe aud foolish bills, while important and nocessary legislation is either inde- Snitely postponed or hurried through at the last moment fall of blunders and imperfections. Taegr are two bills now before the legislature proposing to repeal the present law that practically exempts rallway property from local taxation. In our opinion these bills do not go far enough. The constitution of this state requires that all property shall be taxed alike. Under the old law the rosdway and rolling stock of the railroads was assessed by the state board of equalizstion, composed of the governor, suditor and treasurer. These officets, or rather two of them, fixed a unyform value upon this class of property aud the assessment was divided pro rata along the lines of the respective roads. On the other hand the property of individuals and private corporations was assessed st the place when the property was located at theresidence of the owner, Now we caunot see why the railroads should be treated differently in res- peot to the assessment of their pro- perty from the owners of other pro- perty. By assessing the tracks, rond- way and bridges for the entire length of each road and dividing the total pro rata sccording to the mileage of eash road at & fixed maximum rate, great injustice is done, and discrimi- navion practiced not contemplated by our constitution. For instance, the sctusl value of the railroads on the plains, where the grading is very light and the construction outlay cominal, is a good deal less than in looations where the railroads have to be con- stracted through ravines, where costly culverts and bridges have to be built. Another featare of crimination s at terminal stations, when the railroads own miles and miles of costly side tracks and switches, the locations receive no benefit, because it is all lumped in aud distribated along the line of road, If it 1s proper for the state board of equalization to fix the valae of rail- road tracks, cars, and locomotives, why should they not also fix the val- uation of factories, horses, cattle £nd producte? All this olass of Property is msessed by each local assessor and the valae of & horse in Douglas county is # g00d deal different from that value in Oheyenne county. Under the pree- ent law, the state board of equaliza- tion asseased all the dapot grounds of the Union Pacific between Omaha and Sidney, inclusive, at $11,000. The Omaba depot gronnds alone were purchased by the city ana donated to the Union Pacific at a cost of $200,- 000, and the Union Pacific has ac- quired considerable real estate since. The value of railroad property in Donglas, Oaes and Lncaster counties where 50 many local improvements have been made, is ocertainly more then the value of the bare tract be tween North Platte and Julesburg. We don't ask that railroad property ehmll be taxed at any higher rates than say other property, but we insist that rallrosd property shall bear an equal- proportion of the burdens of taxation. Any Isw that falls short of this, fails %o carry out the apirit of the constitu- ton and will not satisly the people. THE NEW ERA. With the election of General Van ‘Wyck to the United States senate a new era dawns upon Nebraska in her political history. For the past ten years it has been the fashion i Ne- braska to decry men of brains who had the courage to sssert their con- victions, because their positivenees made them enemies. It has been the custom in our state conven- tions to seek out wooden men, fence riders, trimmers and cowards— who never dared to express an opin- fon on any vital question- as the only persons fit to fill 1he guberoatorial ohair oF to represent us in congress. Our selections were made on about the same theory that petit jurors are pleked. The man who had formed or expressed an opinion on any subject was barred out. Thus Nebraska, in the last decade has been gradually go- ing down. From Dave Bautler to James, and James to Nance, the whole brood of governors has marked a ten- dency from positive character to the men of negative stamp. It was so from John Tafft to Valentine. Henceforth no man need look for high office in Nebraska unless he has brains enough and abil- ity emough to make enemies. A man without enemies is a stick and should never bs tolerated in public life. Tn s state like ours, where the republican majority ranges from twenty to twenty-five thousand, there ia no danger of defeating a ticket by nominating men who have made enemies by their known opinlons and convictions. Far better be de- feated with such men, than victorious with putty-heads, who can be moulded by cunning jobbers and corporation attorneys mto mere tools, In General VanWyck's election positivelsm has found its highest ex- emplsr. He is fearless In asserting what he believes to te right, and in assailing what he believes to be wrong. He has opinions upon all the livirg issues of the duy, and is never ufraid to express them. No man is infalli- ble, and General VanWyck, like many other men, sometimes errs; but men will always know where to find him, and thut fact alone attones for any mistake he may make. The demoralizine tendency of our politics bas been the success that has sttended what sre known as policy wen, who pride themselves upon keep- ing their mouths shut upon every vi- tal issue, and who turn thelr sails to the wind, taking care, alws to be with the winning side —even at the sacrifice cf principle and integrity. For our part, we shall insist that every man who aspires to any posi- tion shall first give public expression to his views on issues of the day, so we may know where to find him after he is elocted. Traitors may betray, and venal scoundrels may scll out, bat the chances sre that men who seek positions of honor and trust will fiud honesty the best policy. When the popular sentiment is once aroused and the fiat goes forth that only men of positive opinions and known ability will receive popular endorsement, we shall have no trouble in finding the men that have the merve to assert themselves. Or course Mr. Church Howe roted for General Van Wyck from first to last, but that ought mot to leceive people as to his real intentions in the the senatorial fight. Mr. Church Howe weut to Lincoln as the apostle of the preferred candidate of the Union Pacific—Goveanor Nance. His two mortal enemies, Bill Daily and Tom Mejors were supporting Paddock and Dundy. Church Howe wasn't fool enongh to play second fiddle to either of them, hence ho started out for Van Wyck. Had there ever been any opportunity to lead & stampede from Van Wyck, Church Howe would have been delighted to do o Fortnoately for him and unfortunately for Majore and Dailey, General Van Wyck's pole knocked down the persimmons, and Church Howe now clims to be way on top as an origina) Van Wyck man wud as the friend of the granger. If there are any grangers gullible enough to be deceived by Church Howe's pre- tensions, they ought to be sold out sgaln. Whatever credit may be due to Charch Howe for casting his vote for VanWyck, it cannot andshould not reinstate him in public confidence. A msn that would accept the position of mast-r of the state grange while capping for the mozopolies, s man who only two years ago suppressed all legislation to regulate the railway traffic and reported that the people were suffering from no grievances, is not to be trusted under avy circum- stances. You can catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar, and Mr. Kimball's wpider is wasting an immense amount of sweotness on the desert air. Gcn- eral Van Wyck is not that kind of a fiy.

The Alliance is officered and in ruaning order and people in our locality ar> waking up to the ssue of the hour, viz: Legislation iu the matter of rail- road tariffs, aud if our representatives are abont to “sall 0at” their votes to ‘monopolies in the hape of fatara hon- ors aa governors or postmasters, I think we, as Allisnces of the state of Nebraska, should petition and request all such political office-seekera to come e told by prominent persons, at lenst by persons who have been in the empioy of the B. & M. road, that this firmers’ movement will not amount to ary hin, that it will resul: in wind and talk.
