The Missouri River Improvement convention which convened yesterday in Council Bluffs opened its session under the most flattering auspices. Every important city bordering on the banks, of the Missouri between Yank- ton and St. Louis fis represented. Among the delogates are men of na- tional reputation in the senato and house of represantatives whose views upon questions of public policy and especially upon the subject in hand | are of the highest importance to the West. Senators MeDill, of Towa, Saunders and Van Wyck, of Nebraska, Governor Grear, of Towa, ex-Congress- man Hogan, of Missouri, and other prominent citizens of the west are in attendance to voicethe will of the great Missouri valley. The proceedings of the opening day were of unusual in- terost, and give rich promise of the practical results of the convention. In such gatherings the exercises, as a rule, have heretofore been dull, com- monplace and uninteresting. The first day's session of the Council Bluffe convention was the direct opposite of this general rule. From beginning to closo every speech was pithy, filled with facts of the highest interest and im- portance and directly to the point. Senator M'Dill, of Towa, made per- haps the most brilliant speech of the day. He is always an interesting talker, but yesterday he seemed to ex- cel himself. The deep earnestness of his remarks, illustrated by his fervid eloquence, shows that river improve- ment will have a most forcible advo- cate in the national senate. Governor Gear, who has always been sound onmost questions of public THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WED iSDAY, JUNE 22,1881 further objection of having proved himself a mere pupvet in the hands of the opponents of the administration. He is without parliamentary ability and lacking in mental calibre. He has not the slightest claim to be re- garded as an opponent of monopolies and any protense of the kind is noth- ing but a flimsy veil to cover the real design of his supporters, The anti-monopoly issve at Albany does not enter into the canvass. Among Mr. Cenkling's stalwart sup- porters in the legislature are men whose record during the past season has shown them to be active workers in the interests of the corporations. A large majority of the assemblymen classed among the anti-administration members voted against the railroad commissioners bill and in favor of the several corporation steals which were lobbied through the last session. On the other hand among the opponents of Mr. Conkling are a number of the strongest anti-monopolists in the state, The anti-monopoly press of New York is almost unanimous in its opposition to the return of both senators, and the New York Time:, which the railroads certainly will not accuse of leaning to- wards the monopoly side, leads the anti-Conkling forces. The real issue at Albany is whether the rule or ruin policy of Mr, Conk- ling shall be endorsed any longer by the peovle of the Empire state. It is of the highest importance to the peo- ple of the United States that those opposed to that policy should unite to overthrow it. And if Mr. Depew is the only available man who ocan be placed in opposition to Mr. Platt as a candidate to voice the real sentiments of New York republicans, he should importance and whosespeech at Daven- porton the Hennepin canal project was universally commented upon, deliver- ed an able address in which he ex- pressed himself as heartily in favor of all projects which would tend to cheapen transportation and bring the markets of the world nearer to the producers. The speech of ex-Congressman Ho- nay, of Missouri reminded one of the palmy days of oratory in the republic when men of giant ability like ‘Wabster, Clay and Benton were heard m both houses of congress. No one knows better than Mr. Hogan the necessity of river improvement or the capabiiities of wa- ter route transportation and his able address was recoived with manfesta- tions of pleasure by the convention. Senator Saunders evidently spoke by the card in his address which was eminently sound in its conclusions and full of facts and figures. The Senator had evidently prepared him- self very carefully as to the cost of the projected improvements and the most available means of bringing the water routes into practical competition with the railroads, as lines of transporta- tion, Of the other address it is sufficient to say that they were of unusual in- terest to evory producer in the Mis- souri valley, replete with informa- tion and presented in & manner which maintained unflagging attention from the entire convention. At another time Tre Bek hopes to take them up more in detail and comment upon the invaluable statistics which they con- tain. For the present it must content itself with congratulating Couneil Bluffs, the convention, and the various states represented over the already assured success of the meeting ia our neighboring city. THE NEW YORK CANDIDATES. Mr. Platt’s principal opponent in the Albany convention is Chauncey M. Depew, one of the oldest lawyers of the Empire state, and for years past a corporation attorney. THE Bk has no hesitation in saying that Mr, De- pew is not such a man as it would like to ‘see filling a place in the United States senate. It would much prefer to see & man chosen as the successor to Mr. Platt whose associations,studies be supported and elected. SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE. Paterson, New Jersey, is i a fever of excitement over the attempted en- forcement last Sunday of the famous Blue Law, which prohibits the trans- action of any secular business on the Sabbath day and provides a heavy fino for all violation of the law. For some months past the liquor dealers of that city have been made the victims of a rigid enforcement of the law, and on Thursday of last week three hundred of them held a mass meeting and determined that other trades besides their ‘own should have the benefit of the obnoxious measure. - A resolution was passed to close all dram shops on Sunday and to see that the Sunday laws were obeyed as far as possible by every business interest in the place, and committees were appointed to gather, coidence personally against offenders and punish them in the courts. It was determined to stop the keeping open of cigar and con- fectionary stores, the running of milk wagons, the hiring of carriages from livery stables or the running of street railroads and mills, Notice was posted in conspicuous places through- out the city, warning all persons that any infraction of the law would be prosecuted witout fear or favor and and that no line of trade ocould be se- cure from its provisons. Sunday in Paterson, according to all accounts, was a rather melancholy day. The firstinconvenience that was felt was the lack of milk. Several milkmen who attempted to make the rounds were promptly arrested. Mer- chants rushed from one news stand to another in search of the New York morning papers, only to find them closed. © Three cigar stores braved tho law and were served with warrants of arrest. The barbers closed their doors and hundreds of unshaven customers alternately cursed the law and liquor sellers. It was impossible to get a meal at a restaurant in the ecity, and thirsty citizens were forced to drink the dirty water of the Pasaaic every grog shop having put up its shutters and barrod its side entrances, In the meantime, the liquor dealers filled their headquarters and all day and modes of thought on questions touching the relations of corporations to the public had been on the side of the people rather than on the side of the railroads. Mr. Depew is anunusually able and eloquent man, He is am- bitious to shine in public life. His friemds assure the legislature that if elected to the senate he will sever his rolation with corporate interests, and endeavor to represent the state of New York with as much fidelity as he has heretofore displayed for the rail- roads. Such an assurance in the case of a senatorial candidate should be superfluous, and it is unfortunate for Mr. Depew that it s necessary, Between Mr. Conk- ling and Mr. Depew Tug B is free to admit that it would, all movement down the Mississippi will | (1i8% Deing equal, profor Mr. Conk- eventually attain may be inforred ling. This is not, however, the issue. from the fact that in three states, Mr. Depew is the opponent of Thomas whose export trade must come this | O, Platt, who is far more closely iden- way, the cereal crops are now in ex- cess of the total exports of the United States, Missouri must certainly find her natural market at St. Louis. Kansas is located nearly as far from Chicago as from New ~Orleans, and Nebraska is nearer the Gulf than the Atlantic seaboard. These three states produced last year 506,141,000 bushels of wheat and 876,000,000 buskels of corn. The surplus from these states, at preserit nvfinble, with oh;‘afi freights, “ would suffice to load :;ch vessels of 1,000 tons burden ST s tified with corporation interests than Mr. Depew, while greatly his inferior in characterand ability, The stalwart opposition to Mr, Depew shows the dishonesty of their anti-monopoly pro- fessions when they fail to put in nom- ination against him some other candi- date against whom the same objections cannot be urged. Mr. Platt is open to every objection which is brought forward against Mr, De- pew. He is open to the still long' received reports from different portions of the town as to the obser- vance of the law throughout the city. The sauce which numerous citizens thought excellent medicine for the liquor dealers proved to be very bitter when applied to themselves, and Paterson became sthoroughly dis- gusted with a rigid observance of the Sunday law for which they had been 50 anxious a few weeks previously, Nearly one hundred complaints were sworn out by members of ‘the liquor dealers association against va- rious parties for violations of the law, among which were ten liquor dealers who did not work with the majority of the association, the Paterson rail- road company, two milk men, four barbers and six candy stores. The whole affair very conclusively proved that if once understood the best way to defeat a bad law is to attempt its enforcement, Tue Albany investigation, which is dragging out its slow length, has lost its interest to the mass of readers. From the very outset ithas been plain that the object of the promoters of the investigation was to make sena- torial capital for the stalwart candi- dates. The prosecution has closed, and the defense, which was anxious to present its case, has been forced to postpone its evidence until Thursday, “Mr. Bradley has not succeeded in making by any means a strong case,” says the New York Times Thus far the allegation of Mr. Bradley rests entirely upon his own unsup- ported word. And while his friends have left no stone unturned in their endeavors to procure corroborative evidence, the only particle of testi- mony in that direction is Mr. Sessions’ admission that he did have an inter- view with Mr. Bradley on the evening when that gentleman swears that an assault was made upon his virtue. The attempt to trace back the alleged bribe money to individuals has only proved that many persons in Albany have comfortably fat bank balances. On the other hand, Mr. Bradley, who has stumbled from the first in his tes- timony, has been obliged to correct ]|imsc{f, and to mend his story in sev- eral places, The unreasonable expan- sion of the case, which is due to its being taken possession of by the law- yers, has prevented the hoped for conclusion of the business this week. It is not now certain that the case will be concluded by next Saturday. A special cablegram to the Chicago Times from therr London correspon- dent gives an interesting picture of the radical movement in England to- wards land reform and an extension of the elective franchise to tho agricul- tural luborers. Under the present electoral law in England there is lodg- ing suffrage in the burroughs, i. e., the inhabitant who pays rent to the amount of £10 a year is entitled to vote, while in the counties the fran- chise is confined to £6 lessees and £12 occupiers. As agricultural labor- ers (who rarely get more than from 8 to 10 shillings a week) only pay at most £6 a year rent, they are utterly disfranchised just now. Mr. Joseph Arch, the radical leader, has written to Mr. Gladstone, asking when the government intended to con- fer the same privileges on the counties in respeci to the franchise as was now enjoyed by the boroughs. Mr. Gladstone, in a very courteous note, replied that a bill would be prepared during the recess and made a piece de resistance for next session. This assimilating of borough and county franchise will, it is estimated, increaso the radical strength in the counties at least 60 per cent., and should it pass both houses would be a death blow to any hopes of conservative success in the future. Rural England is no longer filled with the happy homes of former days. In some counties nearly 50 per cent. of the land is out of cultivation; in all farms may be rented for the taxes. Property 1s a drug and rent rolls are rapidly diminishing. In olden times every Englishman who had made money M business invested it in land- ed property, with the object of found- ing a family dynasty. The East In- dians — the nabobs as they were called —spent fabulous sums in the good old days of the rotten boroughs in acquir- ing estates, which brought with them seats in parliament, and in later times the cotton lords and other capitalists of industry sunk their fortunes in the manor, assured of a personal income and a contented tenantry. All this be- longs to a past age. The tenant, manacled by feudal cus- toms and oppressed by tithes and big rents, is unable to faee American competition and live, and abandons the farm to swell the angry mob in the boroughs. The laborer is no longer satisfied to live from hand to mouth and enjoy the ‘“‘bliss of ignorance.” He wants land of his own, and threatens to take it if it is not given to him. He belongs to a union con- trolled by active proganganists, of recalism; and insists on the franchise, not as a favor, but as a right of which the ’squire and the parson have de- frauded him through all these years. The clergy do not fare much better than the squires. Tithes are paid grudgingly. Hodge has become adis- senter as well as a radical, and the roll of the drum ecclesiastic, which used to frighten him, has lost its terrors. The lords, the natural guardians of the chureh, are powerless to stay the tide that is washing out the foundations of the establishment, for can they hope to save in England the rights of pr:(r erty, which in Ireland have alre; gone by the board? Solicitors tell me that for every man who wants to pur- chase an estate there are a hundred ready to snap at half a bid. Where all this is going to end the wisest men here are at a loss to know. The har- vest prospects have heen somewhat improved by copious showers, but at best it will fall below the average. Tue anti-monopoly humbugs in Ne- braska, including the farmers’ alli- ance, that is to be used as a machine for foisting a few political dead beats into office, do not seem to be sound- ing thoe alarm very vigorously over the alleged devilish designs of Jay Gould to build another railroad monopoly into our state. Why don't these pe- culiar guardians of its welfare beat the tom-tom and roar the hewgag over the diabolical plot of Jay Gould to extend the Missour Pacific through tne agri- cultural gardens of southern Nebraska into Omaha, as he is said by them to be doing? 1 the railways are such destroying enemies of the people of Nebraska as these malcontents say they are, why in the name of all the large and small demagogues and hood- lums at once do they not do something to stop the building of more railroads. —Herald, The monopoly tools and corpora- tion frauds in Nebraska, including the Omaha Herald, which is a machine for throwing dust in the eyes of Ne- braska voters, know that such silly stuff as the above is the merest bosh, The producers of Nebraska, including the Farmers' Alliance and other anti-monopolists ~ are not op- pased to railroads properly constructed and conducted with a due regard to the interests of the people. They are, however, opposed to the shameful oppressions from which they have suffered heretofore at the hands of the two great monopolies and they are firmly determined to submit no longer to the extortions and abuse of the corporations so long as a remedy lies within their reach. Furthermore, if there are any “po- litical dead beats” and ‘‘demagogues” like Church Howe, who are hanging tothe tail of the Farmers' Alliance in hope of being assisted to political office, they will certainly fail in their desires, It will not take our farmers long to discover such men, and once discovered their political fate wiil be settled as quickly as was the case with Mr. George W. Brown ot Boone county. The Farmers' Alliance pro- poses to scan very closely the records of every candidate for their support, and one of the principal recommenda- tions for such candidates will be the abuse of just such unprincipled rail road organs as the Omaha Herald, If the Herald had any circulation among the farmers of this state, thoy would not dare to print such scurril- lous abuse of Nebraska producers. When a sheet depends for itsexistonce upon the good will and printing of railroad monopolies, and tor its circula- tion upon the advertising of a score of patent medicine quacks, it matters very little to its editors or its readers what sort of hog-wash it prints in its columns, But it really is an imposi- tion upon its employers for the Herald to demand and receive money for influencing "public opinion which it never touches, and for championing monopoly principles which the people never read, Vindication. Harpers Weekly. Mr Conkling’s friends say that he resigned in order to give the Legisla- ture a chance to vindicate him, which means to approve his course. A prompt and practically unanimous re- election was therefore essential to vindication. There could be no vin- dication without it. What, then, are the facts? The overwhelming major- ity of the Republican party, speaking with its unanimous press, with three or four exceptions, instantly and un- conditionally condemned his course, and of 150 Republican members of the Legislature, a majority of whom are ‘‘Stalwarts,” thirty-five only, voted to return him to the Senate. That is the disastrous result of Mr. Conkling’s appeal for vindication. He has been formally and emphatic- ally repudiated by the Republicans ot New York. And why? For what conduct did he ask the approval of the party? For the greatest and most unpardonable offense that a party man could com- mit, namely, causelessly and selfishly and childishly betraying the senate into the hands of the democrats. His excuse was that the president had bro- ken faith with him. Of course with a president whom he had openly ac- cused of foul play he could honce- forth have no friendly relations. 'fo ask for ‘‘vindication” or approval, therefore, was to seck from republi- cans a commission to fight the repub- lican administration. It was to ask that he be personally sustained against the organized repub- lican party. This incredible erection of himself into a political dogma, at the costof the rupture of the republican party, explains the re- jection of Mr. Conkling’s candidacy by journals hitherto faithfully devot- ed to him, like the Troy Timesand the Elmira Advertiser and the Buffa- lo Express. They have all shown the most loyal admiration of Mr. Conk- ling, but they are republican, and they could not make Mr. Conkling their party as against the republican party. To support him was to do that. It was to sustain him in resign- ing because he was in a minority of one or two in the senate, and because the president chose to exercise an in- disputable constitutional discretion in a way that Mr. Conkling did not like. It has been urged that as the legis- lature has refused to vindicate Mr. Conkling, and as it has been made evident to the country that a majority of two-thirds has steadily pronounced against him, he - ought, with repubii- can loyalty, to accept the decision, and, by withdrawing his name, to allow a republican senator to be elected.. But those who say this know neither the character of Mr. Conkling's republican loyalty nor of his regard for majorities. He aban- doned the senate to the democrats rather than yield to an overwhelming majority of his republican colleagues, and he shirked the vote upon the Louisiana returns when the continued power of the re- publican partv depended upon the approval of the report of the elect- oral commission. He was very urgent to bind everybody in the Chicago con- vention to support the candidate, when nate his favorite. But his own sup- port of General Garfield was exceed- ingly tardy and torpid. Mr, Conk- ling is for ‘‘regularity’ when he con- trols the organization, and for obe- dience to the majority when he is sure of the majority, ~ That is to say, he is, under all civoumstances, for Mr, Conkling. It would be a kind of loy- alty to republican harmony and to the party welfare which he has never shown to withdraw his name from the senatorial contest simply because it is demonstrated that the “oveawhelming republicorl majority is against his re- election, In the various political con- tests in which he has been engaged, success in the particular endeavor, by any means whatever, has been the ob- jective point. But success in any true sense has been impossible in the oresent] contest from the beginning, Ir. Conkling has lost his power and his prestige, and his assumption of a poculiar republican loyalty has been thoroughly exposed, As we said last week, he may somehow compass a re- election, but he has been unmasked, Immigration. New York Post, The conservative members uf the German Reichstuz who, as is reported asked the government to “‘try to di- rect the enormous stream of Ger- wman emigration to the Danubian reg- ions instead of to America,” showed very plainly that they fail to appre- ciate the motives which govern the movements of emigrants. Emigration may be directed as to its objective point by a government or by private agencies at its beginning; but v{hen it has been going on for some time it will direct itself. The most powerful attraction which brings the enormous streams of German emigration to the United States consists in the large number of Germans already here and their general prosperity. It is thought by some that emigration from Euro- pean countries to this is very much stimulated by agents sent there from here and by pamphlets and newspaper reports about the resources of this continent. Although something may be accomplished in that way, yet it is comparativily very little Artificial agitation is generally of small effect. The principal power of attraction is exercised by immigrants who have been living in this country for some time and who are writing letters to their friends and relatives in the Old World. Such letters arc the real and most effective emigrationagents. They are with the greatest confidence de- pended upon as to the statements of fact they contain, and the advice they give is heeded by those to whom they are addressed, not only as to the gen- eral advantages of emigration but as to the point where the emigrant should go. But those letters contain in many cases something stronger than mere advice. We learn that one of the German steamship companies received through its agents in ditterent parts of the United States during the months of January, Kebruary, March, April and the first three weeks of May about 8175,000 tickets bought by Ger- man residents in this country and sent to their relatives and friends in Ger- many to cover their passage from Ger- many to this side of the Atlantic. The other German steamship company has been doing fully as well, and a large amount of money has undoubtedly for the same purpose been sent through banking houses in this and other cities. Thus emigration from Europe is not only stimulated and directed, mn it is materially and most effectively aided by the immigrants of former years. Under such circumstances it is natural that the volume of immigration should in a great measure depend upon the general state of material prosperity in this country. Whatever dissatisfaction there may {:e in Germany or Ireland with the political and social condition of things there, and gwhatever attrac- tiveness there may be in the free in- stitutions of this republic, it is a fact that when times are bad here, as dur- he thought that he was going to nomi- | a ing the years following the collapse of 1873, the letters going from here to the old countries are not cheerful and inviting, and immigration will fall off; but when, as at present, everybody in this country feels prosperous andhope- ful and there is plenty of money to spare for the traveling expenses of friends and relatives, the letters going abroad will carry encouraging advice, accompanied by drafts or passage tickets, and immigration will become what it is to-day. The emigration agency consisting in this correspon- dence cannot be controlled or diverted from its purpose by any government. In this respect the United States do and will, as far as we can see, remain without a rival, whatever cfforts may be made to divert the steam of emigra- tion elsewhere. PERSONALITIES.
