Now that the barge convention has finished its sittings and the members have returned to their homes, it will perhaps be well to consider just what has been accomplished by the session just concluded in Council Bluffs. A number of excellent speeches made by the delegates in attendance and by the distinguished visitors from abroad. It will scarcely be denied that many important facts and figures were brought forward to prove the im portance of river improvement and the necessity of cheaper transportation for the products of the Missouri valley, while the resolutions passed by the were convention were forcible, and voiced the wishes of this entire section of the country. What immediate influence, how- ever, is the Council Bluffs convention likely to have upon cheap transporta- tion? This is the important question which the producers of Nebrasna, Town, and Kansas wonld do well to congider- Granted that the recom- mendations of the convention receive the attention and support of the na- tional congress, and that the needed appropriation of $8,000,000 will be forthcoming, how long will it be before the river becomes perfect- ly adapted to the necessition of com- merce and an unfailing competition with the railroads for the “products of the graineries of the west? Will reso- lutions reduce railroad tariff or rec- ommendations [to congress curb the insitiate greed of the monapolies? Is it not necessary to use other efforts to protect the people until such time as a full and free competition by water becomes operative? We hear a great deal even from the monopoly organs of the great benefits which will accrue to our farmers from the coming barge lines. Weo are as- sured that they alone will provide the truo check to the evils of corporation oppression and extortion. But it will not do for our farmers to defer action upon the great question of the hour until a tardy survey of our river has been followed by a still more tardy deepening of its chaunel and strengthening of its bamks, The monopoly advocates would gladly di- vert attention from all anti-monopoly legislation by loud huzzas for the water route and the barge lines. No ono is inclined to underestimate the great and paramount importance of these enterprises. Certainly not Tnr Bee. But while the people will re? joice at every step forward toward a frue and open river, which shall carry be able to congratulst> herself in the fall over the election of a steadfast, sound republican. WHEN a number of our citizens have broken their necks over the hydrants which project from the middle of sidewalks in all portions of their products ,to the scaboard, they must not flag in their determination to curb and regulate the extortions and abuses of the monopolies which are robbing our farmers and ‘mer- chants to increase their i"'flll!tfl)l gamns, Cheap transportation | is the groatest noed of the west and the demand for lower freight rates must Omaha, the council will probably take some steps to abate the nuisance. THE connection between horse racing and christianity may be seen from the fact that Lorillard promised, if he won the Derby, that he would build a church in Jobstown, N. J., where he keeps his horses,and will ful- fill his agreement. e— Tae Union Pacific has a debt three timea a8 large as the Chicago, Milwau- keo & St. Paul road and owns only half the track. By exorbitant charges and the suffrance of the peo- ple it is enabled to report net earnings five times as large as the St. Paul road. Tux old resident returning to this city after a ten years absence would scarcely recognize Farnham street. The new opera house, the Burns building, the business blocks under course of erection by Judge Lyttle, C. C. Housel and A. L. Strang are all improvements which will give our principal business thoroughfare a Rentine metropolitan appearance. ——— The charge of State Senator Strahan of New York, that the marshalship was promised him on behalf of Gen- oral Garfield, conditional upon his de- sertion of Mr, Conkling, calls forth from President Garfield a vigorous de- nial. The president declares that no one was authorized to promise ap- pointments for him or threaten remo- vals; that in making appointments to office at all times he proposed to use his own judgment, and not to be dic- tated to by any man; and that his ap- pointments would always be made, first, with a view to the public good, and second, as to the capacity and character of the applicant. No clearer declaration of the princi- ples of a genuine civil seryice reform could bo made then those which are contained in these fow sentences. The first consideration in any change of Federal officials should be whether the public service domands such ac- tion. Will the office be betterad- ministered by another occupant; will the department be strengthened by a changeof officials; will the people be benefited by the removal contem- plated; these are the questions which should always first present themselves 88 paramount in any reorganization of federal offices, and following these important considerations, comes the :::oml qualifications of the candi- not wait upon the opening of the Mis- souri to a fleot of barges which may take years before it becomes an actu- ality. The state, which is the people, possenses within itself the means to obtain this Jmuch to be desired end and it should permit nothing to divert it from carrying out its determination to remedy existing abuses and secure in advance of the barges themselves, cheap transportation for the producers of the Missouri valley. HOW IT WORKS. The manlfest injustice of the Doane tub law to the state of Ne- araska is becoming more and more ap- ruunt a8 time progresses. In some ocalitios its pernicious effects were felt from the start, in others not till a later date, but it is when the current year's products begin to move that this mischiavous legislation will be more generally and more seriously noticed. Then it will come home to many who now do not feel it.— Repub- lican, : “The manifest injustice of the Doane tub law,” lies entirely in its application by the rallroads to the conduot of their buginess, When the quostion of railroad regulation, which was expressly commanded by the con- stitution of Nebraska, came before the members of the last legislature, there wore two courses only for the leg- islature to pursue. One of theso was to pass a so-called ““Granger’ law fix- ing tariff rates on all articlos and prohibiting any deviation from those rates under heavy penalties, The other was to obey the mandate of the constitution by prohibiting all dis- criminations between shippers of the same class of goods for the same dis- tance and in the same quantities and leaving the equalization and adjust- ment of specific rates to the railroads themselves. Several bills were in- troduced by advocates of both of these positions. TheZTJensen bill which went to greater extremes than the present laws and placed , corpor- ations*T¢ under ¥ Jsevere restric- tions in the conduct of their business, was bitterly antagonized by the roads who had previously smothered several other bills in the committee rooms and by the strong pressure of their lobby and {the exer- tions of [JLicutenant Governor Carus in packing the senate committee, had forced the appointment of a spec- ial railroad committee in the senate of whom Mr, Geo. W. Doane was a mem- ber. It soon become evident that any measure which had for its object a radical and sweeping reéform of the methods of railroad mismanagement in this state would fail of passage. The power of the monopolies, who had pooled their interests to concen- trate all their energies in opposition to the anti-railroad eloment, made [itaclf felt even among members [of the legislature who were pledged to vote for a measure which would assort the power of the people After a long consultation of the railroad managers over the corporations, it waa determined to kill every other bill but the Doane law. The Doane law was admitted to be the most lib- eral in its provisions which had been offered for passage, and the corpora- tions saw in the wide latitude which it offered to their managets ample op portunity to show in a still greater degree the power of monopolies thromghout the state. 1t was only as a compromise, which was vigorously opposed by the rank and file of the anti-monopoly forces, that the Doane bill became a law. Such corporation cappers as Church Howe and a number of pro- fessed anti-monopolists really acting with the corporations, aided in securing 1ts passage, Those mombers of the legislature who saw that no other measure could become a law, and who felt it incumbent to plant themselves squarely on the record as fulfilling their sworn oath, also voted for the Doane law as the best attainable under the circum. stances. The Doane law fixed no rates. It simply provided that they should be no higher than the published tariffs of the roads at tho time of its passage. It decreed that every shipper of the samo class of goods should be treated alike, and no greater sum should he charged for a shorter than for a longer distance. These plain and equitable boundaries, within which the railroads might operate, were laid down in order to afford the corpora- tions full latitude and ample time in which to accommodate themselves to who were the changed order of affairs. It was left entirely to the railroads how they would apply the bill, whother to the de tri- ment of the people or in the spirit of the law to the mutual advantage of the corporations and patrons. The Doane law provided that no special rates should be given to ship- pers, and that rates to local stations should not be greater than to points boyond. This provision called for an immediate equalization of the tar- iffy owing to the past policy of the corporations in charging greater rates per mile for local trafic than for through freight. The law in- sisted that the rate from Omaha ‘to Fremont should not be greater than that from Omaha to Elkhorn or Valley, or-that from Lin- coln to Crete greater than from Lin- coln to Hastings. To obey the man- date of the law two courses were open to the railroads, to lower local rates on the basis of the through tariff or to raise the through rates proportionately to the local tariff. By the first of these plans a general reduction in rates would have ensued and the evi- dent intention of the law carried out; by the latter, tariff rates would be gen- erally increased and the law turned to the great disadvantage of the public. The railroads have seen fit to follow the Iatter course, and the presont ex- orbitant local rates have been extend- ed in their operation to all points in the state, Cities which heretofore have obtained their freight at rates when compared with smaller towns, villages and way stations, are now forced, under the railroad application of tho law, to pay largely increased freight charges over the former figures, Instead of lowering local rates, through rates have been raised and the very liberality of the law has been taken advantage of to make the measure odious, and to raise the cry that all anti-monopoly agitation must be no less injurious to the peo- ple than to the corporations. Monop- oly organs like the Republican cheek- ily tell us that the Doane law is crip- pling Nebraska's interests, ruining herlindustries and raising the price of groceries and provisions, while the monopolies, those disinterested bene- factors of the people, regretfully con- template the disastrous work of an anti-monopolv legislature, This is the sheerest bosh. The Doane law contains within itself a remedy for all the existing evils. Proper application of its provisions to the eperation of the railroads would result in the sure abatement of the evils which afflict Nebraska pro- ducers. If such is not the result, and the manifest intention of the law is not carried into effect, the people will know at whose doors to lay the blame. Other laws will be passed which will afford no loophole for escape. Rates will be fixed by legislative enactment and not left to the discretion of the wmonopolies, All the chatter and groanings of the monopoly organs and all the hypoeritical pretensions of monopely managers will fail to blind the people of Nebraska respecting the real condi- tion of affairs. Another legislature will be less lenient. The course of the monopolics in violating the law while pretending to acquiesce in its provisions, will only hasten the day when railroads in Nebraska will be compolled to conduct their business with & regard for the interests of Ne- braska producers, and when railroad tariffa will be rogulated by a law whose yns cannot be shirked or eva- AN IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. The subject of an Imperial parlia- ment for (ireat Britain in which evory colony while enjoying self govern- ment shall have a representation, to discuss measures of common interest, is attracting considerable attention. In its present form, as has been weil said, [the English parliament revre- sents, not so much the people of Eng- land, as {customs, traditions, vested rights, small monopolies and large landed interests. A true parliament, representing the English speaking world would be an imposing body. Tt would represent all English countries and colonies upon the American prin- ciple of representation and would af- ford independence to the separate countries in all that pertains to home rule, while it would also furnish all the advantages of a union of imperial interests. The topic is particularly interesting in its relation to the condition of Ire- land at the present time. Indepen- dence is the ultimate aim of the land league, and the hope for his country of every Irishman, Ireland will never be satisfied until she has home rule and a national parliament meeting in Dublin, Mostof the prominent leaders of Irish opinion aresaid to be eacnest- ly in favor of the adoption of the plan, Parnell, Dillon and other leaders have boen privately discussing the plan, but had some idea of postponing an earnest agitation of the subject until 883, the centonnial anniversary of the old Irish parliament. Justin Mc- Carthy is enthusiastic in his support of the project, and thinks that no better time than the present could be found to urge the idea of a national and imperial parliament. O’Donnell says that in his opinion a just and honorable confederation would insure self-government to Ire- land, and with the passage of the land bill restore prosperity to the country. Even the extreme nation- alists are inclined to look upon the plan with favor because, under such a system, Ircland would enjoy home rule and practical independence. Many Irishmen would prefer it to ab- solute independence, because, while it could guarantee home rule to the fullest extent, it would afford a wide scope to the intellectual classes, by permitting them to take part in the good government of a vast empire. Mr. McCarthy says the scheme would soon strengthen and consolidate the empire, which, in the case of war with any strong maritime power, would un- dergo a great strain. He considers that public opinion in England is be- coming more favorable to some solu- tion looking to the release of parlia- ment from the work of local legisla- tion, - “‘The New York Herald hasbeen urging this view of the case with a great deal of vigorand ability. Ina recent editorial it remarks: “‘The English Parliament at pres- ent is simply an unwieldy body legis- lating on British local affairs and wasting its own time and the time of the country by discussing trivial af- fairs for Ireland, Scotland and Wales, instead of being a body representing the Empire and dealing with the grander questions belonging to it as a great Buropean and imperial power. England’s power to-day is paralyzed, and her influence in Europe is nulli- fied by the Irish discontent, and she is quite incapable of as- serting her dearest interosts 80 long as Ireland remains hostile. Examples enough can be quoted of wrong headedness in other countries. Austria’s weakness in the Italio-Prus- sian campaign was in Hungary's disaf- fection, and Francis Joseph apprecia- ted too late the truth of Franz Deak’s assertion: ‘‘Forced unity will never make an enipire strong. The empire would be weakest at themoment when it would be in want of its united strength and the full enthusiam of its people. If, therefore, your majesty wishes your empire to be free and re- ally strong, your majesty can not at- tain that objeqt by a compulsory unity, but by a mptual understanding arrived at through the freo consent of the na- tion, " L'k current rumors respecting com- ing changes in the management of the Union Pacific and which were alluded to some weeks since by Tue Brg seem to have been verified. The Chi- cago Inter-Ocean of Wednesday says: 1t has finally been settled that Mr, 8. H, H. Clark, the general manager of the Union Pacific froad, will sever his connection with ‘the company in order to assume complete control of all the southwestern ruads owned by Mr, Gould. The conclusions in this matter were arrived at yesterday. For some time there was some differ- ence of opinion as to where Mr, Clark's office was to be, and a compromise was effected and it was decided that it shonld be nomi- nally in 8t. Louis but practically in Now York, Mr. Clark will divide his time between New York and the southwestern territory, where the roads in question are being built. He will have an office in St. Louis, but very little business will be transac there. Mr. Clark will, no doubt, find this new office an agreeable one, as far as the recuperation of his health is concerned, for the work will not be as confining as that required of him in Omabas. He will hereafter occupy a THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, QIETNEf34,]&QI. position that will not be excelled in rominence by any in the country. Mt. Clark is peculiarly fitted for the work he is about to undertake, and itis a question whether Mr. Gould could have found a better man for the vosition, world has been gradual, but marked and interesting. Beginning as'an ob #oure brakeman on a small road, he developed into a prominence that allowed him to make the Union Pa cific road what it is to-day. Mr. Kimball, who has also risen from the bottom of the ladder, succeed Mr. Clark as genoral ms ager of the road, a position which ho will fill with credit and honor, The position of assistant general manager of the road will remain vacant for the present, it is said, but it is believed that Mr. E. P. Vining, the general freight agent of the road will soon succeed to the position now occupied by Mr. Kilnbnh, These and several minor changes will go into effect July 1st. Brrore another decade has passed, England and France will in all proba- bility be joined by a tunnel under the English channel. Experimental shafts have been sunk on either side, by the English and the French committees respectively, and on either side an ex- perimental gallery also driven. Asa result, it is believed that after head- ings of a mile in length are driven on on either side, as is proposed, the re- maining nine miles from either coast can be completed within five years. The English and the French miners would then meet in mid-channel. The lower strata throngh which the tunnel must be drilled is found to be very favorable, and impervious to water. A rarce portion of Tombstone, Arizona, was destroyod yesterday by fire. All comments on this informa- tion must be made from the old ver- sion of the New Testament. Stable Railroad Tariffs. Denver Tribune, It is more importantto the mer- cantile community that railroad tariffs be permanent than that they be low. The burden of high rates falls on consumers and the merchants do not feel it half as muchastheyimagine they do. When freights decline the selling price of geods comes down with them. Of course merchants are interested in a general way in the 'prouperifiy of the people, and this is promoted by low rates. But the immediate profits of the dealer are not seriously circumscribed by costly frieghts. When we had to pay severai times our present rail rates for wagon transportation Denver merchants made as much profit, upon a given capital, a8 they do now. When rail rates are half what they 'are at present in- dividual merchants willnot make any more money. But what injures commerce and en- slaves all business men to the railroad power is the changing of rates When the merchants of a city have strained their credit to lay in large wholesale stecks, they are liable to sudden ruin by an unexpected reduction of rates before they can sell out. Favorites of the corporations can often make large sums of money by an advance in the rate of some_article, of which they have obtained a heavy supply. It is true that these changes have not often been used to the serious detriment of our merchants, but the arbitrary pow- er of the railroad managers to make them is undisputed, and those who are damaged have no relief atlawwith such a grip upon the business commu- nities of the whole country, the abso- lute supremacy of the railroad inter- ests is only a question of a yery short time. And when the roads cease to fear the grangers there is danger that will become very oppressive, A business man who fights the rail- roads can be ruined any time they see fit to put forth their power to crush him, ~Everybody knows this to be true. In fact we are rapidly drifting to a pass where commerce is & sort of an appendage to the roads. Many a merchant’s success depends wholly upon his basking in the favor of some railroad manager. The corporations have essentially the same control over large numbers of business men that they have; overf their own employes. The argument that freighting is a marketable commodity, and must ad- vance and decline under the law of de- mand and supply, is & strong one. From it comes tl!lo right we concede to the roads to control our fortunes by changing their rates at pleasure, But it is a serious question whether it would not be better forus all if the rates of every road in the land had to be fixed after several months’ notice, and then remain unchanged for a year at a time. Some inconvenience would result at times, but the stability and certainty of constant carrying prices would far overbalance them all. A vast deal of demoralizing favoritism would be suppressed, and the morcantile classes would be libera- ted from a species of intimidation that amounts to oppression. Jay Gould. From the Rochester Democrat This wonderful man continues to enlarge his operations, and Vander- bilt finds him an advancing and rest- less rival. The latter went to Europe, a8 it was supposed, te avord testifying in the telegraph case, but, as the law- {en adjourned it, was eventually ob- iged to appear in court. He now finds that Gould's new route to' the Great West (via New Jersoy Central and Wabash) threatens to come the most dangerous o[;po sition of what are called the Van er- bilt stocks. Gould's schemes are laid with such depth and precision that they at once awaken admiration. He is certainly the most wonderful rail- road operator in the world. Look at this last combination and its origin. Three unwohu saw New Jersoy Cen and Wabash selling at a mere song. The former was quoted at 8 and the latter at 2. He at once saw that they might be connected and form a trunk line, and hence he ted | bought the stock of each until he be- came its master. As the Wabash connects with 8t. Louis, it became important to converge the pro- duct of the West on that point, To do this requires a mastery of the Towa roads, which he also acquired.

Mr. Sidney Dillon, president of the Union Pacific railway, arrived in town yesterday on his way to Omaha. He was joined hero by Mr. S. H. H. Clark, general manager, and Thomas L. Kimball, assistant general manager of the Union Pacific, who will go to Omaha with him to-day. The three gentlemen had a conference at the Grand Pacific hotel yesterday after- noon. It is anderstood that the sub- ject under consideration was the con- templated resignation of Mr. 8. H. H. Clark as general manager of the Union Pacific and the appointment of Mr. Kimball to his place. It has heretofore been_stated in the Tribune that Mr. S. H. H. Clark is to be appointed general manager of all the southwestern lines controlled by Jay Gould. There can be but little doubt that this report is correct, and the only question is whether Mr. Clark's headquarters will be at St. Louis or New York. Mr. Gould has the highest opinion of Mr. Clark’s abilities as a railroad manager, and values his advice more than those ot any other man in the country. It is therefore not surprising that Mr. Gould should desire to have Mr. Clark with him in the management of his great southwestern system, to de- velop which he is making the greatest effort. The Union Pacific under the management of Mr. Kimball will be as ably handled as if Mr. Clark re- mained in charge, and besides, Mr. Gould does not now take the same in- terest in the Union Pacific that he does in his southwestern lines. “The Doctors said I would never leave my bed.
