THE DAILY BEE. —_— B. ROSEW ATER: EDITOR Tue question before the leglalature 12: Does Nebraska control her rairoads or the railrosds Nebraska. —— Hazzy Hoes, the original Lone Fisherman, is doad. Tao time is com- Ing for his nsmesske, the vice pres- Gent of the United States to retire. Ono is slready discossing who will be her next governor. Oblo is never happy unless in the contemplation of a present or prospective offics. Tae law regalating primary elec- tious, Introdaced by Genersl Van Wyck, should not be lost sight of. Nebrasks is sorely in need of primaty refora. M. Hrvessver ls utterly opposed to railroad legislatton. Mr. Hime- ‘baugh is to manage the new U. P. cle- ator and is, therefore, a perfectly dis- inerested party. Ta the question as to whether or not na.:..m,flummf Foatall there is of the railiosd problem. Are rail- roads llke other corportions the prop- . erty of their owners, subject to the personal direction of their managers, and governed by the great but un- ‘written laws of trade, or are they the perty of government, subject to ity e thaey s presmd o inlly for them, sn of no i:::rim{c power and policyl—[Repub- ican. The question whether the U. P. is to be compelled to carry freight for Tax Bre, the same as for any otber shipper is only a single instaoce of the arrogant dcfisnce of law and dis- crimination practised by the monopo- lists upon Nebraskans. The Unlon Pactfic {s a common carrier. This is the purpose for which it was created sud 1t was solely in this capacity that it received millions of dollars from the goverament, aud hundreds of thous- ands of dollars trom towns, citles and ocounties. As s commou carrier it is ybound, by Innumersble decislons of oar courts, to transport freight offered to it irrespectiye of the parties who desire to ship. Asa common 3arrier 1t can have no likes or dislikes, no prejudices, sud no plaos of petty revenge. Whether Mr. Rosewater has or hss not “for tea years abused that corporation,” can not make a whit of difference in his right to ship freight over its line on exsctly the ssmo tarms as any other shipper of the same class of freight. The instance of refusal of the Union Pacific to carry onits freight trains st an exorbitant tariff, coples of Tre OxamA|Brr while 1t transports desd-hesd, the Herald snd Republican is only a single ex- ample of that discrimination which is being practised all over this state ageinst Nebraska farmers, merchants and shippers. And it is only on this sccount that attention is called to it. — TEE SBEE AND TEESALT BASIN. Lincoln Globe, Oxana BEe attacks the bill, pro- viding for the sale of saline lande and appropristion of the to the development of the slt-making inter- eats of Nebrasks, on the ground_that there may be asteal connected with it. Those lands were donated to the state for this yery purpose, and good faith on the part of the state would not per- mit their use in sny other way. If any steal is possible, make known the faalt of the bill and gusrd againet cny chance for misappropriation of the fuods. In this, Tar Bre would we our hearty support. Thie paper has not one word to re- tract on the eallne land question. We assert and maintain that the proposed saline land bill is a job gotten up in the interests of 4 laud riog and not in- tended by its projectors tor the devel- opment of tne saline basin. When Nebraska was admitted to the union the national government endowed her with fifty sections of choice public lands which were to be devoted to the dovelopment of the salive springe. OF these fifty sections only twenty re- main. These lands, comprising 13, 000 acres in rouad numbers, are locs- ted in Lancaster couaty, and most of them are within a stone's throw of the eapital. For years and yoars these lands have been an eyesore to the ringsters around Lincoln, who have made desperate sf- forts to gobbie them by all sorts of de- vices. Now, we are jost a8 muck in favor of the practioal development of the Saline basin, near Lincoln, as any other journal, iu or out of Lincoln. We do not, however, approve of the proposed development scheme, which has for ite main_ object division of 13,000 acres of land smong & gang of land grabbers at & mere bagatelle, If the partice who are advocating this moasure are really fin desd earnest, let them frame a bill directing the commissioner of public lands to lesse these 1300 acres for a period of years. Other lands, be- longing to this state, not hal as vala- able, have been leased. Let the ren- tal from these lands accumulate, and be invested in reliable securities from year to year until the amount accrued hasreached $10,000. Then let thestate offer a bonus of $10,000 to any reeponsible parties that will erect the necessary aqueducts, reservoirs and settling bative with a further bonus of the rentsl of the lands during the period in which salt is being manu- factored in given quantities. That will keep the saline lande, which are now about to be gobbled by a ring, « parpetual sourco of revenue to ald in the development of the saline springs. Ttis sufs tosay that the werey s aunual séutal on these laods will bs twsalyfive cents per nore. < =This would amount to $3,250 per annum or £9,750 in three years which with accrued interest would be over $10,000 aad In five yesrs, say $18,000. This amount woald certainly seem to be an ample bonus for any body who desires to en- gage in sait manufacturing at Livecln. On tho other band if the lavds are #51d now thay will be sold for & mere song. The moacy will be squandersd in experiments and five years hence we will be no nearvr solving the paob- lem of salt manufacture than we are now. THE COBRCION BILL. The coercion bill is making slow progress in the houee of commons. The small minority of lrish home ralers are dghting it's advancement at every step and have so oyerloaded the original with amendments that it's final passage will be .a question of weeke. It is announced that eighty separste and distinct amendments have been slready proposed, and no arbltrary rulings. of the epeaker can prevent their consid- eration by the house. Why, it is asked is this persistent method of ob- struction waged by the home rule party against a measura which has its origin in & government professedly friendly to land reform in Irelsnd. Tae suswer fu not difficult. In 1863 » howl of indignation arose from allthe democratic papers of this country over the temporaty suspension of thehabeas corpus act by Secretary Seward. The country was then in a state of open rebellion. Southern conspirators fll- ed our northorn cities. Washington was the hot-bed of secession plotters. Plans were' ovenly discussed for the burning fof New York and the most arbitrary messares sesmed necessary. Yet even under such circumstancas, which bear no parallel to the peaceful stato of Ireland under ths pacific role of the land leagme, all the demooratic journals and a number of republicsn organs pro- tested against the romoval of this fun- damental barrler against despotiem and tyranny. Under the provisions of Mr. Forster's coercion_bill, all the liberties acd privileges wrested from King John byhis rebellious barons, are at once taken away from the people of Irelsvd. Any magistrate may, up- on suspicion only, arrest and impriscn any subject of the queen, and hold him In confinement at his pleasure. The habeas corpus | ended, the rightof assemblage :s denied, liberty of speech is trodden under foot, and the whole country is plsced under s military despotism, which Is acoouut- able to no superior for its abase of the extraordinary powers granted to it by parllament. No actlon against a magistrate for false imprisonment can be brought by an injured party. Every government official, every petty clerk and secretary of au Irish landlord, every sgent and rent collector, is made an English spy to bresk down the liberties g1 the Irish people by the British con- stitution, acd to fasten still more closely upon them the chains of & ty- rannical despotism. No mation spplauds more loudly than Great Britain the beauties of her constitntional safeguards to property and persons. No people would reslst more bitterly any inrosds fupon those safeguards when they themselves wereconcerned than the people of Eng- lsnd. And yet when a little handfal of brave Irishmen in the house of commons presert an undauated front to an overshelming opposl- tion and protest agaiust such outrageous and unnecessary ineultto their nationality, such shameful subversion of constitutional princi- ples, we are informed that they are reckless agitators, whose only object in the selfish one of showing their own power and winming chesp sp- plause {from their constitucnts. The woner the American poople understand just what obstruc- tion mesus, the resdler they will be to joln with the Irish in up. holding by all means in their power the manly stand of the home rulers for principles upon which ail free govern- ment is and must ever be founded and maintained. A xEsoLoTION hss been adopted in the Tlllnois legislature which recites that railroads in the state are dis- criminating in passenger’and freight rates at terminal points on through Dbusiness; that when the cspital sc- tuslly invested in railroads has been compensated the rest of the benefils and advantages resulting from the constroction of such roads belongs to and should be employed by the peo- vle; that under existing laws rail- roads do not pay their share of the taxes; the commlttee on railconds is therefore instructed to framo the necessary laws to prevent the pooling of earnings at competing points, making it a penal offense for rallroad managers to allow rebates on frelght, requiring full and complete statements, under oath, of the actusl costof railroad properties snd equip- ments, excluding all increase of stock ot based on bona fide expenditures; also semi-annusl statements of receipts and expenditures, and empowering the railroad and warehouse commissioners to cause auy railrosd company to re- duce its freight and passenger rates whenever its net esraings after the payment of all fixed charges for twelve months shall exceed in amount the sum required to pay 6 par cent. por annum upou the actual cost of such railroad; also a bill chang- fng the present mode of assessing rail- road property so that it shall bear its falr proportions of the burdens of tax- ation; forbidding discrimination in rates at terminal points in favor of through freight and passenger traflic; requiring all roads chartored by this atate to keep their szock transfer books at an accessible point in the state open for the inspection of stookbolders; making it a penal offncs for any com- pwy to iesue stock in_exoess of its stock, after doducting the amouat re- csived for the asle of bouds, ziso from fesuing additional stock upoa fictitions values, aud ‘rom pryiog dividends upon such stock. —_— Tre railroad cappers at Lincoln whose noses sre walkicyg advertise- ments of their habits, are joining with the prohibitionists to crowd out all railrosd leglelation by howling loudly for prohibition, The legislature will mot allow themselves to be galled by theao wolves in sheep clothisg. Tue Seventy.first New York regi- ment Is gofng 1o Now Ocleans during the carnival season, and will be .wel- comed by Gen. Beauregard. His wel- come will not be s0 warm as that he gave some Now York regimeots in 1862. POLITIOAL POINTS. The Michlgau legislaturo has & bill beforo1t for the ercotion of smonu- ment to Zach Chandler, Now that Senator Eaton's term is about to expire, the general opinion in Conuecticut is that he isan honest man and hes made a good senator. Gen. Hawley's case is the first on record in the history of the republi- can party cf Connecticut where a can- didats has been nominated for senator without a shade_of opposition. ‘Hon. Horace Maynardjwas defeated for senator in Tennessee by treschery in the republioan party, according to The Knoxville Chronicle, which has already began to expose the traitors. The Ohlo legielature is making ar- rangements to vislt Washington on the 4th of March. Most of the mem- bers will take all of their effacts, so a8 to be abls to start for a forsign con- sulate without delay. The best evidence yet given of the capacity ot the office-filling is only twenty candidates for the guber- natorial nomination. And Cincinnati and Cleveland and Columbus ard Fre- mont, the home of Mr. Hayes, are yet to be heard from. Irishmen born are making progress as American statesmen. Of the United States seaators and senators- elect, Jonea of Flo r of Neva- da, and Sewell of Jersey, are Icishmen. The nominee of the re- publican cancas of Pennsylvania, Oliver, is also an Irishmen. The Iowa papers are anticipating & lively senatorial contest two years from now, as Gov. Gear is supposed to want Kirkwood's seat, and Gear is one of the most popular governors the state has had. The old veterans, however, cling to Kirkwood, their old war governor, with real affection, and i: will be difficalt to defoat his re-elec- tion. Walbridge A. Field, the newly ap- pointed judge of the supreme court of Massachusetts, is considered one of tho throe best scholara ever grad- uated from Dartmouth college, He acted as professor of mathematica there before he began the study of law. He was prepared for college in the Kim- ball Union Academy at Merlden, N. H., where he graduated at the head of hie class in 1851, Tll:a Iél:;(er hlh!u-mlken are at work, and here iz one of the Emi tickets: For governor, J. Efl ing- ham, of Chippews; for lieutenant governor, D. M. Kelly, of Brown; for secretary of state, E. C. McFet. ridge, of Dodge; for state treasurer, Robert McCurdy, of Winnebago; for attorney general, C. E. Estabrook, of Macitowoe. Angus Cameron and Senator Tom Scott, of Wood county, are also among the probabilities. Daring the contest for political eupremacy in Maine $wo years ago, ono Swan, a groenback member of the legielature, made an afidavit that Minot, » republican colieague, had attempted to bribe him. Some peo- ple believed that Mr. Blaine used corrupt methods, because Swan ssid s0. Swan has since turned out to be & consummate rascal, and is now a fugitive from juatice, Hon. J. N. Camden, who has been chosen by the democrats of the West Virginia_leglalature to succeed Mr. Hereford in the United States senate, is a wealthy oil speculator and banker of Parkersburg. He is known ss & shrowd business mansger, and his frionds gives him much praise for organizing the oil interests of the stato and furnishing through his com- pany a steady market for his product. The democratic assertion that the Republican party south is almost en- tirely black, while substsntially trae in the gulf states, la not true of the states nearer Mason and Dixon's line. West Virgluia, for instance, has only about 5,000 colored voters, but she gave Garfield 46,243 votes. R. A. Shotwell, democratic editor of The Raleigh Farmer and Mechanlc, says that there sre 30,000 white and 80,- 000 colored rapublicans in that state, — ‘Wagesand Cost of Living in China, San Francisco Bulletin. There have been many booka written on China, from the time of Abbe Huc to the present. But most of them have bsen too general to present any precise idea of the actual social conditions in that vast empire. Rocent official observation has, how- ever, done much to clear away the mists which obscure real 1 Most. of the trudes which we have are car- iod on in the Contral Flowery land. There are there the traditional “butcher, baker and candle-stick maker.” Bat there iss pecultarity which is not found in_civilization. The artists obtains no higher rewards than the ordis oraftsman. There appears to be a dead level for all who work with hand or finger. A master workman in auy of the trades in China gets $3 per week, or $156 per annum. But the workmen only get half that remunera- tioa; $L50 per week, or $18 per annum, is the average rate, and it is not every workman who can obtain it. Youngsters, or women, get 50 cents per week, or §26 per annum, It will bo observed that these are the wages paid in the higher walks of art and mechanics. There is only one class of operatives who are more handsomely rewarded. Goldand silver emiths do a little better. The silk reeler or spinner sometimes gets from $1 to $2 per day, because the silk has to be reeled off the cocoons in a given time, and, a2 a consequence, the work has to be proseeused day and night. Con- sul Denny, st Shanghai, thus figures out the expenses, per annum, of living in connection with the compensation specified: For s master For 12o0d, ete. For rent’ ste. For clothing, For a workman 872 Fortood (] Total . Tho same suthority adds master generally lives at the work- shop, where he has perhaps, two rooms, besides s place to eook in. The hcusehold furniture may-be es.i- mated at from $20 to $30. The ordi- nary workman, if married, will share » small house with a friend, and occu- py ove room, and have access to the Kitchea, He msy live with his parents, in which case his earalnga go to the comwon fund. Under such circum- stances, 210, to $15 will cover the value of household furniture.” We have no form of Chinese life in Californis, except in very rare cases, which corresponds to that which is here portrayed. Toers are only a few Chinesa families in tais city. Neerly all the Chiness are male edults wis out any family ties or connections, Jeast in this country. Bat wo get a glimpse «£ that peculiar state of things in China ates. Consul Denuy farther says that if the Chinamau is “‘a bich- elor, aud away from hs family, he will either clee at h's ewployer's fer a congideraticn, ot stay with friend; in cither case his who'e icveutory con. sists of a box with his clotbes and his bedding.” This is a complete porteait of the Chinaman in Calif:-r.ls. He is got up in light marching order But the common lsborer, whotber in feld or kitchen, does not get any- thing like the wages of the skilied ortissn. The farm laborer, during harvest time, gots, besides his meals— worth sbout 10 cents—from to ceats to 15 ceats a dsy, or from 70 sents to $105a week. He cac bo hired by the month for from$1 50 1o $2. If ke gets permanent employment, he ia board and lodglng. 1f he works for whorter terms, 50 cents a month suffice for house rent, and $2 per nuom will keop his wardrobe {n re- palr. But there is a grade below these freo laborers known as cooltes, who are often glad to work for b cents aday. A Hiot from England. New York Times. The English telegraphsysteny ie pro- bably witgont an exact parallel. . }’{7. very far from being_ ihe only system under government control, for at least 16 European systems aro so managed, and 10 of them, we mayadd, do not pay expenses. But the fact that It is carried on in connection with tho post- office and its peculiar system of charg- es, differentiates it certainly from our system, and probably from il others. The English rate is 12d., or 25 ceats for for 20 words bstween any two polate, without regard to distance. The analogy to the uniform postal rate is obvious. With this may be compared our rate of 25 cents for 10 words between this city and Port- fand, Malne, which is rather more miles {distant from this city than Eogland is broad, snd but a few less than its extreme length, At the proposed reduced price the charge would be & helf penoy, or ane cent word, and not less than twelve words to be sent, inclusive «f addrees and signature. . Againat this may b con- trasted 15 cens for ten words to Cam- den, which fa the lowest charge made on telegrams from this cu{, or 20 cents for ten words to Brooklyn. In 1878 the average toll in the United States was 38 9 cents. It is, of course, understood that the business can be conducted more chesply in a compar- atively small, thickly-eettled country like England than in s large, sparse- Iy-settled country like the United States. But something more is neces- aary to explain 80 great a difference ln cost to the public. A partial explana- tion is found in the difference in profits, which Is the measure of difference between the cost to the telegraph company and to the pub- lic. The Western Union company earns from ten to twelve per cent. on watered capital, as against 3 or 3} per cent. in Eogland. Another main item under this head undoubtedly is that the postal and telegraph organizations are double here and single in England. A cobsiderable number of the 8500 telograph offices in this country are in charge of young women, who have am- plo leisure to act as village dress- makers without neglecting their tele- graphic duties, aud for every sach case there are two postoffices, - whero the postmaster has ample time—not to mention his quite excoptional facili- ties—for informing himself about his neighbers’ businese. The spectacle is enough to makea practical economist weep. Altogether, these facts tend to encourage the adhorents of the man- agement of the telegraph by the por office. It would seem that private enter- prise, in this couatry at least, is by no meansa bad substitute fora gov- paternal care. It does, indeed, speak weil of the English authorities that the 50.000 miles in 1869 were more than doubled in 1879, and there is ‘a office In every village, whether it pays or not. Bat these results would scarcely have baen reached mnless tho messages had increased from 6,000,000 to 26,- 000,000 in the same pariod. So that the people, rather than the gov- ernment—it the two can be more technically separated in modern man- archy—brought about thechange after all. In this country, the samo tlme, our length of wire increased from 104,685 miles £0211,566 miles, the offices from 3,- 607 to 8,534, the messages from near- ly 8,000,000 to over 34,000,000, and the receipts from conelderably over $7,000,000 to nearly $11,000,000. Tmposicg as these figures are, there are abundant reasona for saying that the telegraph system ia yet in its in- faucy, the world over. An Eaglish- man, on an aversge, sends one tele- gram annually, but he writes 33 let- ters. The difference is not at all in the ratio of expense, which is as 12 to 1, and the saving of time surely at least balances any loss from brevity in the telegram. Mach hss been done of late years to populsrize telegrams, but the housewife still trem- bles when she opens the yel low envelope, and fears to learn that some one is dead, whereas, probably, she has nothing’ worse to foar than that she may have an unex- pected guest at dinner. That indi- cates the field which is beginning to open before the telegraph companies 1€ only they will encourage it- There is no renson why “‘aports,” politiclans, and business men should monopolize the wires, and considerable as their custom 1s, it s no more profitable than wonld be that ot the other 45,000,000 people of these United States. If each of them should annually send one maseage, the telegraph companles would then adopt as the key of a policy the homely financlal maxi that “‘mony a little makes a muckle,” Memphis Tax Rates. St. Louis Republican. The financial condition of Memphis is again exclting the concern of its cit- izens, and 1t must be admitted that tho facts ss they exist afford good causo for anxiety. The taxable prop- erty which in 1866 was $30,800,000 has declined to $13,900,000, and out of this small amount of subetance are to be raised revenues which would be heavy on three times such a valuation. The estimated cost of the eewerage, paving, excavation and bridges requir- ed in the scheme for improving the heslth of that city is $2,200,000. The back taxes due the clty amount to §2,- 500,000. The taxes deemed absolute- ly necessary and unavoidable foot up $3 87 on the $100, which {asurely high enough. Bat this is not all. The sewer tax, if levied, will be $1.08, and the rate demanded for the dis- charge of back taxes is $4.50 for two years. The tex rate for the next two years, therefore, would be £8.95 on the $100, and $3 87 per annam for the next twenty yeara. .A portion of the assessmenta calling for this enor- mous rate are levied on indiyidual property owners for local improve- ments, but that docs not help the mat- ter much, for the whole amount must come from the citizens of the city. In many cases these special asses: ments would amount to confiscaticn, and the assessed individuals would surrender the property rather th:n Day them. The prosent population of Memphis is 33,693, aud the total debt, $6,000,000, is $178 per capits, and 43 per cent. on the whole taxable prop- erty. THE BOSS BLED.

The political situation of the south is most unfortunate, considered with relation to her party affiliations. Not that she is wrong in remaining In op- position to the republican party, con- stitoted and orgavized as it has been and is, but because the democratic arty, led as it ir, dictated to as it has een, issimply no parly at ell. And eo it Is that all over the eonth the question is being asked, Whst shall or can be done to place the south in the line of political progress as an integral part of theunion! We are content here to rest the inquiry with the slngle suggestion that there will be no improvement or change until the statesmen of the south, the men of in- telligenca, learning and experience, who are the peers of avy In the land, resolve to think for themselves again, and that they will not any longer take their political principles, or rather their party principles, at second hand.
