Bravsont Buck, the young Texan ‘who shot his fellow-student at West Point, J. G. Thompson, under the Impression that the iatter was about to haze him, has been acquitted by & jury who probably “ook the view that past hazing and the possibility of fu- ture hazing justified the shot. This ot least was Buck's defense and the jary acquitted him promptly, the sym- pathy of the jury like that of the rest of the public being on the side of the hazed student. AMERICAN eyes are turning eagerly towards Mexico as the country for profitable tuvestment and the market for our sarplus manufactures, Nat- urally rich, Mexico is just at present nationally poor. Hor debt, or at least that part which Is officially resognized s binding is $98,500,000, Oa this the arrears of unpaid interest smount tonearly half as much egain, as it is $49,600,000, making s total debt of $146,500,000. She repudiates some 875,000,000 of pretended obligations, inclading the Jocker claims, which Louis Napoleon made the pretext for the inyasiot of Mexico. On the recog- nized debt Mexico is mot at present paying sither principal or interest. Her policy of isolation, foreign and domestic wars, and the Iack of energy and enterprise among ber people have sltogether made her and kept her very poor. The new boom In Mexicsn rall- ways and the movement of American cipital "toward the development of Mexican resources will dobtless soon materially changa the state of affairs in that republic and possibly enable it ultimately to gather the necessary funds wherewith to mest its acoruing obligations. WaaTEVER may De the result of the mext session of the state board of equalization it's membere will not be permitted to hide their transactions from the public gaze. Tue tax-payers of Nebrasks who have siace the organ- ization of that body been systematical- 1y robbed of the taxes due them from the railroad monopolies, propose to witness and understend thoroughly the process by whicn corporate capital escapos bearing it's s.iare of the burden of taxetion. Every item on the rail- road assessment rolls will be closely scratinizad and every plea of the cor- poration tax-shirkers carefully weigh- od The board of equalization will be held strictly responsible for the manner in which they perform their duties, and public upinion will not be slow in making iteelf feit upon the question. The law upon the subject Is plain and simple. It contemplates no discrimination between rail roads sud other corporations. Laast of all does it lntend that the state shall not only be subjscted to the exhorbitant planderings of the monopolies, but in addition bs forced to divide among its citizens the taxes which they should rightfally bear. DOWN THE MISSOUR! Five years have passed since this paper first beganits advocacy of the establishment of barge lines for grain transportation down the Mississippi and Misscuri rivers. Like its champ- fonship of anti-moaopoly principles, its position on the question was at that time shead of the age. The pro- ject was then objected to as impracti- cable, and denouaced by monopoly orgaus as incompatible with tbe laws of trade which maiotaized an cast and west and not a morth snd south current of transportation across the contivent. To-day practical experiment has assured the success of the scheme. Two lines of barges are in operation between St. Louis and New Orleans. Daring last week there were shipped to the Gulf 352,888 champions, is under the heel of o] pression. The citizens of the District of Oolumbis, both male and female, haveno votes, but they have a way of asserting the'r rights that is equal- Iy effeciive. Wiscoxstx's Farmers' Alliance has become so strong that they contem- plate putting a state ticket in the field. Irregular Assessments. Lineoln Joaraal It is one of the plessant fictions of our form of government that the burdens thereof are equally distributed. * * * * Asatpres: ent organized, each county is an inde- pendent nationality as far ss ralsing revenue is concerned. That this meth- od has its drawbecks is unive:aally acknowledged, and no system that bushels of wheat, 375,668 bashels of corn, and 44,933 bashels cf oate,—> total of 773,489 bushels sgainst 342, 050 for the corresponding week last year. A company bas been formed in New Orleans to put on a new line of ocean steamers for frelght slip- meats from New Orlcans direct to London and Earopesn ports. Two of theso steamers have already sailed with fall curgoes and will be followed regularly by others. In the mean- time every exertion is being made to enlarge the capasity of the already ex- isting barge lines and two othera are projected. What is practicable on the Missies- ippi is equally €0 on the Misecuri. The greatest grain growlag regions in world are in the basin of the Missouri. That river furnishes grand highway open toall and ready to bearonits bosom the burdens of a continent. It cannot be monopolized or coerced. No pooling arrangements or high t: ifls oan restrict its advaatages and plunder the producer to benefit the carrier. With lines of barges running from Omahs, Nebraska City, Atchison and Kansas City to St. Louisor New Otleans, the days of monopoly extor- tion would soon be numbered. Grain placed on barges at Omaha could be landed on bosrd the ocean steamers at New Orleans for from eight to ten cents a bushel as against seventy-five cents at tidewater on the Atlantic seaboard. Good prices, prosperily and wealth would quickly follow for the farmers of the Northwest and cor- porste monopolies would cease their arrogant and insolent lcvy of contri- bations upon the producers of the land. Othsr sections of the country are moving in this matter, alaramed by the newand rapidly growing competition of the river route. New York is agi- tating the romoval of tolls from the Erie csnal, Chicago is discossing a lie of steamers to Montreal by way of the Welland canal. Why should not Nebraska and Omahs at once move in matter 80 important to it's great ag- ricultural intereste! Such a mov ment would doubtless receive substantial encouragement from tuc producers of western Iowa as well as thoss of this state. A line of barges from Omaba to St. Louis would be_enabled to transport three-Gfths of the surplus grain pro- duction of this state to tidewater at an annual ssving of millions of dol- lars to Nebraskans. The immense saving In the cost of transportation would benefit not alone the prodacers but every other citizen of the state. It would result in return shipments of European products up the river in retarn for our shipments of grain and produce. With high prices for what we have to sell and low prices for what we have to buy, Nevrasks’s advance in the next ten yeara would be without par- allel in the history of the Nor‘hwest. Lot the barge line project be thor- oughly dlecassed by cur peopie, and we have no fear for the final deter- mination of the question. Tar B. &. M. railroad has reported soventy-five mtles of side tracks to the state board of assessment. The U. P. bas made no report of side tracks. Can it be that the two hun- drel miles of Union Paeific side track and switches aave rasted away during the past year. every contest. Thls hss boen strik- ingly demonstrated by the citizens of Washington. Some months subscribars to the telephon took axception to the high rates charged by the association, and etrack for a reduction, To this the associa- tion would mot consent. The subscribers at onca banded tcgather to make war upon the telephone company. Many of them agreed to stop uslcg their instraments until the company would come to terms. The company was obstinate, -and told the poople to */go to." The people did. They went to the roofs and pltched off the telephone wires. This was more than the company could stand, and & roduction was agreed upon which satisfied tho Washingtonians; snd now they are “*helloing” ‘at each other as usual. Not long ago, in the same city, the patrons on a line using “bobtail” cars became dissatisfied with their accom- ‘modations, and insisted thattwo-horse cars be put on. The company laughed at the demand. The peogle rode in the “‘bob-tail cars as usual, but they ceased to walk up to the Slosson box and drop ia their fare. No matter how viciously the driver tingled his little bell, he failed to discom- pose the riders, who mat in placid rows or stood up with a ticket in readiness to be taken from them. For a passenger to putin his own ticket was a fligrant offense, but to passalong a fure and put it in- to the box was acccunted high trea- son, deserving instant death. The company tried for two or throo days to bulldoze their patrons, but they ware met with firmness and were obliged to succumb The “bobtail” cara have been supplanted on that particular road, and at pres- eat two-horse cars are run—much to the gratification of all these who have to ride on theline. And all thishas does mot compel the awsessment of properiy for state purposes through- out the state by the same rule can be sbsolately fair and equitable. As for instance, land in Donglas county is assessed at ;in the sdjoining county of Washington at $1.63—in other words, an acre of land tn Doug- Ins county bears more than elght times a8 much of the general burdens as an acre in Washington. Again: In York county the aversga valustion of horses 1s $46.41; In the neigbboring county of Hall, $8 95! Will sny man clatm that is equitable? York county ‘mules are worth in the eye of the as- sessor §65 30 each, while the animal peculisr to Saline is worth §27.89, and the noble creature degenerated to 815 in Dawson. The wool-bearing merino 1s worth in Pawnee $2 03, while he gambols about in Nemaha with a burden of 70 cents on his back, and in Dawson he couldn't be swapped for a squsre meal, belng worth only 45 cents. In Lincoln county the heg, the farmer's silent partoer, is es- teemed at $4, while in Boone he ik just the equivalent of a gallon of sorgham molasses, to-wit: 50 cents. York county considers the average value of cattle to be worth $14 97, while the fatlinga of Cuming are prob- ably worthless except for their hides, as they are knocked off at a lump rate of $5 66 These glaring ircegularities need no comment, and without farther de- bate, esll for a new deal in the man- nere of asessments. It s not a question of whether one s too high, or the other too low. Uniformity is demanded. Each county should be nearly the same as circumstances will allow—there being liberal allowance made—especially In the matter cf lands—for location, market facilities and cost of transportation. —_— Conkling asa Party Leader. San Francisco Call, It has not been usual in the history of politics for & party leader toan- tagonize the ;mational administration which-he asslsted 10 bring into power. This Senator Oongling, of New York, is doing. Hisepposition to the admin- istration arises from the fact that the president did not think propar to con- sult him in making appointments to office from the state of which heisa senstorial representative. He con- tends that there is such a thing as the “courtesy of the semate,’—in other words, that it has been the practice of the presidents to consult senators as to who would be tl persons to Gl the offi for their respective this Senator Oonkling is pas {0t wholly right. When applications ve been made for office by persons with whom a president was not per- sonally acquainted, then he has con- sulted with the congressional repre- sentatives—particulary the senators of the state trom which the applica- tion came, as to the claims of the per- son making it. When a president was personally acquainted with the werits and qualifications of his ap- polatee, he required no_advice, but acted on his own responsibility. ~This is what President Garfield did in. the selection of Judge Roberteon for collector of the port of New York, and at which Senator Conk- ling has taken such offence. We do rot remember ever to have heard of an {nstance in which a senator assumed to exercise such power. He is pre- paring a speech, it is sald, In which he will declare open war upon the ad- mintstration. The senator does not stop to consider how unpopular s movement this will be. The tone of the f3 fluential republican journals of the country phlnry—md in a number of instances admonishing!y—indicates that it will meet with no sympatby from them, while cven demo- crais, who would reap all the ~advantages of an opim quarrel between Senator Conkling snd the president as threatened, abstain from offoring the sonator a word of encouragement. It is uasafe for any one senator to array himself against the national adminlstration oo no higher ground than personal pique, and this_Senator Conkling will be likely to find out when it is too lste to repair his indiscretion. In this con- nection it may be proper 1o state that the resolution adopted by the New York legislature almest unanimously endorsing Judge Robertaon, was cffer- ed by a democrat, How It Works.

A canvass of the situation indicates that the choice of & man to wield the “baton” cf the deceased leader must almost necassari- ly be made from the follewing lis Marquis cf Salisbury, Lord Cran: brooke, er Lord Cairs, present lord high chancellor, with probabilities in favor of the selection of the latter.

Lord Barrington asked him one day where he was born. ‘I was born in the Adelphis,” he roplied, “and I may say in & library. My fath- er was not rich when he married. He took suite apartments in the Adelphia and as he possessed a largo collootion of books, all rooms were covered with them, includipg that in which I was born.” Avother remsrk of his was the following characterestio cne: “‘I had rather live, but I am not afrald of death, I have suffered 5o much that Were Ia Nihillst, I should confess everything.” This was a humerous allusion to the mistaken, but pevalent idea that Nihilists wero subjected to torture after arrost.
