Under that name his indomitable perseverance and en- ergy forced him into public attention 1u the house of commous snd changed the jests aud jibes of his own party tothe applause of devoted adhereats, Uuder that name, bedge of & despised race, he fought his way by a series of brillient parliamentary battles intothe foremost rauk of English political leaders, rising successively frem the lowest sests of the opposition to the iressury bench aud finally to the proud position of premier of the Britisk Empire. No patent of nobility could add to the lsurels which then than seventy yesrs he had borne a name immortalized In the aunals of Great Britaln. As Renjamin Disracli ho had become fllustrions and had won all the laurels that now crown his bier. As Benjamin Disraelt he ought to have closed his life lnstead of ac- cepting an em pty bauble, which at best dies with him, since he has no children to psrpetuate his name. Ansossing Eailroads. Satton Register As the time to lock the barn door iu before the horso ia stolen, 89 the time_to discuss the state bosrd of equalization relative to the valuation of railrosd property s before the ns- sessmeut is made. The discyssions of last winter on this subject con- firmed the general conviction that railroads are sasessed tco low, and graced his brow and Do seat among the peers of the realm could give him » more commandiag position then he beld as leader of the parliamentary wmajorityin the House of Commons. While as Awmericans imbued with re- publican principles we may fail to ap- plaud many of the mothods of Benja- min Disraeli, we are forced to re. coguize him as one of the foremost master miuds of the century who has forovor stamped his own Impress upon the history of Great Britain and in a grest measure shaped the destinies of the world during the last qusrter of the nineteenth century. Spran: from s race that had for centuries been despised and op- pressed in the land of his nativity, he never failed to assert that name and race against ignorant and bigoted coutempt. From that race he inber- ited some of the most conepicuous characteristics which mad> him great and famous. It was his dogged ver- sistence, his intense earnestucss, his unflsgeing industry, and a moral courage thst never flinched before any great task, which was never de- pressed by reverses or undaly in- flsted by eucoess, that made him the most formidable party opponent since the days of Pitt. The closing of his maiden speech in parliament wasen index to his whole subsequent career. *T am not eur:rised at the roception I have experienced. I have begun soveral times many things, and Thave often succeeded at last. I shall sit down now, but the time will come when you will bear me.” The time did come and all Eurepe listensd when he spoke. As anauthor, Benjaxin Disracli in- herited from his father a literary taste apiced with & tinge of romance. It is rarely that an suthor wakes up and finds himself famoos. Three times Disracli had this experience; first with “y Gray” at the age of 21, then with Coningsby in 1844, and finally with: Lothair ia 1870. Love, romance, ambition, power, all that wea fascin- in outh and beauty, *alents and schieved by personal wit g slone—was pictured in " which took the world and made its n of the time. Gray, >oningsby,” steove to portray young wmaa in the worid of fashion ihe career of a s & faithfal of promineut public sud & satire on the tendency of aristocratic life to spau the gulf be- tween the church of England and Rome with the bridge of rituslism,ex- cited profound interest. His last production fell short of bis previous efforts, aud iudlcsted a decline of in- tellectusl force, quite nataral in view of his advavced sge and phyeical dis. abilities. At a paclinmentary spesker was impressive, exoelling chiefly in his poliehed satire, his grass of the salient poiuts at issue in debate, and well directed shaftsat the weakest spote iu his adverssries’ armor. He was not an orator in the highest sense, but he was a ready debater, thrusting with the skill of an accomplebed fen- cer and recsiving blows with the ssme grace that he gave them. He lacked the two great qualities of true elo- quence : carnestness and sincere con- victions, As tesman, guaged by American standarde, he would have ranked with William H. Sew- ard. Subtle, impasssve and keen he sought to steer the ship of state throuzh many breakers by the frequent sacrifice of trongest convictions to party ex- pediency, always keeping in view tne extension of British Empire and the maintensnce of British influence in Continental councils. The cast of Disraeli’s mind was essentially Orien- tal. It was the height of his political caricaiure | ambition to establish an oriental em- pire in which Britannia was to be Empress. To this end he bent all his energies in shapiog the Eastern ques- tion, enlarging the boundaries of the British Indian possessions and check- ing the Russian advance towards :he Orient. It was entirely due to his efforts that the title of Empress of India was conferred by parlisment upon Queen Victoria Through his consummate diplomacy Cypras was added at the Berlin Conterence to the Britieh possessions us a wateh tower over the destinies of the Golden Gate. While during the later years of his life be was the embodiment of the most advanced Imperialistic views, he was one of the few Tory leaders who espoused the cause of the Union in civil war s sgainst the confederates. When Louis Napoleon recognized the southern confederacy and a strong party in England, headed by Lord Ruseell, were urging an allisuce with the South, Disraeli opposed with all his evergy any departure from steict nsutrality, and the outcome of the war justified his foresight and judgmont. Tie crowning trinmph of his negotiatiations at the Berlin con- ference, in 1878, where, next to Bis- marck, he was the most prominent figure, and received the most, atten- tion from the representatives of the Emperors. His hour of triumph was sleo the hour of his greatest weak- ness. Up to that t'me he had obstl- nately refused to accept any title of nobility, although he had consentedto acoept the title of Couatess of Bea- iu which the author |- therefore, fail to bear their just shares of the burdens of government whose protection they receive. It is to be hoped that the state board of equalization will, this year, give the matter a thorough and exhsustive study, not only from the standpoint of the railroads, but also in the interest of equal taxation toall, and affix & fair and reasonable valua- tlon on all rallroad and telegraph property waich they are required to asse Last year the Omaha & Northwest ern, Sioux City, the St. Joe & West- ern and the Republican Valley branch of the B. & M., were assessed at a trifle over £3,000 & mile, although the simple cost of construction, accirding to Mr. Touzalin, is from 815,000 te $20,000 a wile. ~ Conceding, for the sake of argument, that the franchise of these roads, ss indexed by their earnings. is yot valualess, this assess- ment is, even then, 50 per cent. too low. The same suthorits says that the main line of the B. & M., which was last year a at £8,030 per mile, could be replaced for $20,000 per mile. The net earnings of this line was, last year, abont £5000 per mile. This Would be ten per cent on an_invest- ment of $50,000 per mile. If, as Is claimed, the rates for transportation are reasonsble, then logically, 50,000 a mile must be a reascnable valuation for the Take one-third of this smount, ss fs the custom with locsl assorzors, we bave about double the valuation of last year. Simllar rosult will be obtainad in estimating the val- us of the U. . Nor does it seem to us that anything uofair {n this mede of reasoning ss the same rule is ap- plied %o other property. If a man owns a piece of wild land worth five doll sn acre it assese. ed accordingly. After it has been caltivated ard improved in various ways until it is worth $50 an acre, the valuation is raised correspondingly. Some of the roads that are assessed at §3,000 to 4,000 per mile have ac- tually received double those sus local aid to assist in their building. These things seem to us 80 incongru- ous and manifestly unfair s to call for immediate correction, The Atchison & Nebraska road Is assessed at $1,000 per mile more in Kan: than 1o Nebrasks, and the Kausss Pacific, a much less valusble road, is assessed ai $2,000 more per wiie than the Union Padific in Ne- braska. Theee and similar facts are to loud to be longer ignored. For our part we only desire that railroad property should be assessed as near to its actual cash value as is other pro- perty. Nothing less ought to satisfy any one RUSSIA. HEE FATE IN CASE OF WAR WITH GER- MaNY. tion of railrosds has elous development of comurercist wnd -industeial rela- tiona of the world. But warfare and the art of carrymg it on have alao beeu subjected to a great change by the precision and dispatch with which tremeadous armies can now be con- centrated certain point within & specified time. While, before the era of railzoads, it took'months to move an army toward a strategio point, under the railrosd system of the present time a few days suffice to concentrate enormoua armies st the frontiers in order to carry the war into the enemy’s sountry. What can be accomplished with the atd of excellent railroad system under the direction cf abls leaders the result« of the German war with France in 1870 71 plainly demonstrated. For years it has beeu the standing phrase In Germany: ‘A war with Russia is inevitable.” If this inevitable war should take place, we have uoreason to deabt that the German arms would be woed with the same eucoesses in Russia that they wou during '70-"71 in France, before Ras could begin and complete its railroad system, now entirely in- adeqaate for military purposes, to the erman aud Austrian frontiers. The St. Petersburg very much alarmed about the situatlon and publishes the views of a promiuent Peusian cflicer and member of the geveral staft on this subject. According to the ioformant of that paper, a “‘patriotic Russian bora in Livonis,” that Prasslan officer ex- {msef in his presence as fol- “It is my positive conviction that a war with Russia must come; the sooner it comes the better for us. There is no danger, however, of such & war for the next ten years, unless some- thing very unexyected should osour, because it will take Russia at lesst that length of time to comstruct enough railroads to the Prassian fron- tiers to beableto cope with us. The invention of railroads is to-day of as mauch importance to the art of war as the invention of gunpowder has been, and why the comstruction of railroads has boen so sadly neglected by the Russian government 1s lnexplica- ble to me. Without railroads the battles of Woerth, Welsserberg and Spichern heights would have been im- possible. It would have been folly on our part to concentrate our armies at the French frontierif France had been possession of a better railroad system leading to the interlor than we pos- sessed on our side. The province of the Rhine, or scme territory more to the northeast, would have been the theatre of war. How could it be pos- sible without rallroads to lodge with safety after ocly six months of war, & French army of three hundred thous- and men, including their emperor, in our fortresses} When and where has » similar feat been accomplisbed in the world! Without a exfficient railroad system suck s performance would have been entirely out of the question. When we look st the map ¢f Germany, we see at once what a complete met of railroads we have spun along the Russian frontier, which wo are daily perfecting. WIth theee railroads we can within three days throw half a million soldiers across the frontier, and carry the war into Africa. In consequence of its deficlent rail- rosd communications, Russia cap meet us with only small armies, with- out having the least prospect of suc- cess. And we all know what a tre- mendous impression the tirst success- ful blowa have upon the army and the nation. ~ Russia will only be able to concentrate small armies at the termi- nt of its four or five railroads, and it will meet there the German armies, far saperior in numbers. “I will mention only one Instance. Russia can ‘concentrate all of its consfield for his wife. For more guards and the troops looated in northern cantonments by only one railroad near Eydtk=bnen, which will be met thero by out srmy of at least one hundred thousand men, which we can collect thers within two dsys. We would not attack tbe Ruseians with our superior ferces, but concen- trate at the same time another army near Tilsit over the Insterburg Rail- road for the purpose of crossing the Russian frontler. Within s fow days this army could take a vositlon In the flank and rear of the Russizns, and their army nesr Eydtkuhnen would bs compelled to surrender withont firlng a shot This would be the first Rumsian army to be trans- ported into German fortre prisoners of war. Without construct- ing t one more railroad through the Northern Baltic provinces, to take the guards and northern troops towards the Pruseian frontier, Kussia can never declare war against Ger- many. All along the whole German frontier the Russians are In about the same predicsment. Russla does not Dpoesess single railaoad over whick. 1t can move an_army suficient in num- bers to oppose our Silesian army. This army would concentrate on the trontier via the Breslau and Warsaw railroad, cross it immediately, and Ri would only be prepared to fight the first battle near Lodez. A road from Lodez, running directly towards Wiornszow, s of as much strategical importance to Rusela as the road that rons through the Northern Baltlc provinces, already referred to. “This proves clearly that it would be impossible for Russia to declare war agsinst us before it possesses sufficient railcoad connectlons with its German frontiers, because great armles can not be concentrated quickly, without railroad aid. In my opinion, if a great power does not poasess sufiicient rail- roads to carry ita troops—just as if it did wot possess any gun-powder—it ceases to be a great power. Russia can carry on & war with a small power like Turkey, but not with states whloh can immedistely appear on tho field of actlon with large armies, quick- ly concentrated. What importance we attach to railroads appears from the fact that we are ready to expend millions for the purchase of the Rhin- Nahe railrond, which yields no reve- nue; but we need the road in order to lay down a second track, because it was demonstrated during the French war that the cars which bad carried troops to the front could not be re- turned quickly enough. The rad now under conetruction in the of East Prussia, conneotin larger cities along the Ruesian front ier will never yield any revenue, bu! we coustruct it for the purposs of be- ing able to concentrata troops on the frontier at auy imporfant polnt.” ftis immaterial whether or not a “prominent Prussian officer of the general staff,” expressed the above views to a Russian, but so much is certain, that the informant of The St. Petersburg Zeitung fully under- standsand judges correctly Gormany's strength, and Russia’s weakness in case of a war between the two coun- tries.' There Is not a shadow of a doubt that a war between Russia and Germany—during the existence of the present situation of things—will prob- ably end with the same results as the war beiween France and Germany in 1870-71. Outrageous Dis-rimination. Denver Republican. The great cry of the railroad agents and newspaper organs, has been that any restraining or regulating legisla tion would drive away eastern capital now secking investment in the rail- roads of our state; would stop all rail- road building and extension, and would deprive the people of immense benefits, This seemed plausible and proved somewhat eJective. But a Jittlo inquiry will reveal the faot that discrimination by exisiing lines is do- ing as muoh to dlscourage and. hinder railroad extension as could the most hostile legislation The Denver Western and Pacific railroad company propose to bulld a line from Denver to Longmount and thence over the range to some point in Utah, and then perhaps they will build a line in the opposite direction, to give thom an eastern conneotion, The members of this company come here in good faith and with ample meaus to do this work. They ask nothing from the people but their good will. They propose to briag sufficlent eastern capital to do all their railroad buildine. They haye quietly gone to work ia & stralghtfor- wird, business-like manner, surveying their route letting contracts _for grading, purchasing iron in the east, and advertising for ties, bridge-tim- ber, etc. But now the Union Pacific company step in and ssy that this great work, with its immense prom- ised benefits to"Colorado, shall not be done, if any extent of discrimination can provent it. They propose to use their control of the existing llnes in northern Colorado, to pat an embargo on tles and timber. The Denver, Western and Paclfic company sre told by parties desiring to bid for tie contracts that they cannot do so, for the simple resson that all the ties must go over the Union Pacific com- bioation lines. T'ie rates on ti fixed by the Union Pacific, are: From Georgetown or intermsdiate pointe, to Denver 18 cents per hun- dred weigl rom Morrison mi ls to Denver, the same; from Denver or In- termedtate points to Longmont,eleven cents per hundred weight; tosal to Loogmont, twenty-nine conts per hundred weight. Now, a green tie weighs about 200 pounds; this will make a tio, delivered at Longmont, cost in freight alone fifty-eight cents: the cost of cutting and bauling to the point of shipment by railroad cannot be much than fifteen cents, mak- ing the total cost of a railioad tie seventy-three cents. It is safe to es- timate that the ties upon the Deuver and Rio Grande railroad did not cost over fitty cents each. Do not the U. P. suthorities, in this, manifest a wonderfully tender regard for the in- tereats of the people of Coloradol Do they not exhibit a marvelou 10 aid In developing the r of the state? Is not this affair a touching illastration of how dellghtful a thing it is for the people to be in the power and at the mercy of a great corpora- tion? Does not this thing, indeed, show how unuecessary is any law against discriminatiun? Does it not conspicuonaly exhikit the folly and wicksdness of those who asked fofany such legislation] What more tender, more carefal guardianship, indeed, can the people ask for than that fur. vished by the Unlon Pacific railroad eompany? Other rates fixed by tho great cor- poraticn are: Coal per ‘on from Gol- den to Georgetown, §3.50; ore per ton from Georgetown, $5.50; fire brick from Golden to Georgetown, 815 per ton; common brick, §7.50. The low rate on coal Is allowed because the selling price at Georgetown must be kept down to make & market against wood, and give the road any coal at all to'carry. The rate is pat up on ore because it must be sent to market, and there is no competition. The enormous rate on fire brick is charged because they cannot be manufactured at Ge ‘rgetown, while common brick may ba. Thus are the justness, the impartiality and the benevolence of the great corporation again touchingly illostrated. Who would be so foolish as to ask for a law against discrimi- nation, A Rochetort, Fayette Mich., wntes: your satistaction in this place, en doliars worth by express and Mexieo's Public Debs. San Francisco Chronicle. A commission appointed by autho- rity of the Mexioan congress, to In- vestigate and report the amount of uational obligations due from that re- public to its creditors, recently made its statement. It found that the principal of 80 much of the debt as is hunestls binding on the nation to pay is $98,500,000, whieh, with sccrued and unpzid Interest, foots up & total of $145.000,000, the unpaid interest being $46,000,000. In the course of ita investigations the committee found pretended obligations to the amount of 875,000,000, which it refuses.to re- cognize. These inolude the Jecker claims, which the late Louis Napoleon made the pretext fir the invasion of Mexico that resulted so fatally to the emperor he sct up, and in the end undermined his own populurity and power in France. Moxico Las never by aay officlal act of the government repudiated what she believes to be her just obligation: The non payment of the interest to the extent of $46,500,000—nesrly haif as much as the principal—is due, not to any unwillingness to pay it, but to financlsl embarrasment cauzed by the net the empire and consequent inability. This Is by some of our eastern contemporaries constraed rather harshly against the credit of the sister republic. They argue thas a country of ten million inhabitants it not honest_in Its government in fail- ing to provide meams either by taxa- tion or loan to meet the yearly interest on 8o small a debt as_ $98,500,000. It seems _incomprehensible to some of them that the clty of New York, with but 1,250,000 populatlon, should be easily able to promptly pay_the interest oh a local debt of $142,000,000, besides contributing heavily each year to a sinking fund eting current expenses, when alstion fails to pay the Interest on a debt one-third less. They forget that Austria, Turkey and saveral of the states of the American Unlon are and long have been in the same category with Mexico, and oven mors derelict. Tennessee, Arkansas, Vir. ginia, South Carolina hava each sub- stantlally declared for repndiation. For many years all of them have de- faulted ln interest payments. Their excuse fs that they cannot borrow on ressonsble terms, and that taxation 10 tho oxtent necessary to pay current expenes and old oblizations accrued would be virtual confiscation of the property taxad. As to most of the epudisting Americau States, this plea inadmissible, for they have not made an effort by even the slight- est increaso of taxes, though they are and for ten years past have been pros pering. Mexico can urge the sime excuse with much beiter reason. Her condition for twenty years has bsen the reverse of prosperous. She hus no credit, and her population—tne masa of it—is extremely poor fu tax- ables. She has little commerce, and can realize but little by indirect taxa- tion. A debt of 814 50 per capita in Mexico isa much greater burden on the state than a debt of $100 per capita would be on the United States oris on the people of New York Oity. Au three fifths of a cash valuation, the tazable property of New York amounts to more than the cash value of all the property in Mexico that can be reached by taxes; and one half af the yearly custows receipts of the United “States suffices to pay the in- terest on a national debt uearly eighteen times as great as that of Mexico, There is no doubt that Mexico in- tends to pay her honeat debts. She not now able to do it. When, by means of railwags and the active trade and dovelopment of her ro- sources thuy will cause, her Industries shall have been placed on an encour- aging and eudarivg footing, she will be ablo. Meanwhile It ia not fair to brand her with repadiation, so long as that stain remains npon some of our own states.
