Four cents per mile in Nebraska— only three cents per mile in Towa. Three cents per mile on the Council Bluffs & Kansas City road in Towa, four cents per mile on the Burlington & Missouri road which runs parallel and within sight of the Kansas City line on the Nebaaska side. Why this glaring discrimination against Ne- braska? Simply because Towa has enacted a law that fixes three cents per mile on first-class roads as the maximum toll. But Nebraska is not quite as thickly settled as Towa, travel is very much lighter in Nebraska, and the roads cannot afford to come down to three cents per mile. Why can’t they afford it? Why can they afford to carry hnndreds and thousands of people free over their roads who have no tangible thing of value to return for this free transpor- tation? Why should the people who ask no favors be compelled to pay for the transportation of the grand army of dead-heads? The plea that travel is 80 light in Nebraska that the roads can't afford to reduce their passenger fares is all bosh, Look at the Balti- more & Ohio road. The main line from Whecling to Baltimore passes through the most God-forsak- en section of America. All through ~ West Virginia there in scarcely one inhabitant to the square mile. With the exception of the Fourth of July and Christmas, the natives of that mountainous region never travel by rail, and train after train passes through from Benwood to Cumberland and back, with the train hands as their only passengers. And yet the local passenger tariff is only three cents per mile, and we un- derstand has lately been reduced to two centsand a half, Ohip this fall, Now that the state ticket is chosen the people of Towa should pool their issues and elect a reliable anti-mo- nopoly legislature, GaTH says the profession ef a lob- byist at Albany is quit> as respectable a8 that of the average New York log- islator. This is severe on the lob- byists. Tue “‘Debt Payer” is the name of a uew paper started in Richmond. The “‘debt contractor would be more ap- propriate for a Virginia organ. ParacraPHERS who desire to find a connection between Senator Conk- ling's defection and the comet will doubtless find it in the trouble about “‘comuty.” Tne president is now enjoying at- tendance on college commencements.

Tue report of Boss Shepherd’s death in Mexico is denied. On the contrary, the Boss is repeating his Washington tactics and has lobbied through a large local subsidy for his mining schemes Mg, PARNELL expectsto raise §600,- 000 from Irish Americans for land league purposes during his coming visitto America, Mr. Parnell evi- dently thinks America is enjoying prosperous times.

Sherman for gover- nor, Mr. Sherman is a republican of the strongest stamp; a man of great exocutive ability and will doubtless prove the wisdom of the convention which selected him as the head of ‘dawkeye government for the next two years. It has cost more to build every mile of that part of the Baltimore & Ohio road than it would cost to build twenty miles in Nebraska. Why this outrageous imposition on the travel- ing public? We are reminded, however, that lower rates can be had for excursions, and limited tickets are issued at lower rates between certain stations. This does not cover the case. The people want and will insist on a general re- duction. They are not disposed to accept as favors what ought to be con- ceded to them without asking. It strikes us that the time has come for the reduction of passengor fares in Nebraska to three cents per mile to and from any station, let the distance be ten miles or four hundred. A PROSPEROUS CITY: Omaha is enjoying a season of good times which give no evidence of relax- ing. For three years past the ouild- ing boom has only. kept pace with the business development of the city and the growth of manufactures within our limits. An unusually hard win- ter throughout the state, while it af- fected the volume of the spring trade, could not materially check the onward march of our commercial progress. The croakings of a few fossil residents whose energies in the past have been devoted to decrying all public im- provements and who have constantly abstained from mak- ing any private improvements on their own property, have been silenced by the energetic labor and activity ot our public spirited citizens, A recent journal remarks that deal- ors in lumber and brick usually place the duration of the boom of a local town at four years, The first year gots up the name of the place; the second is best and enriches those ostablished in buainess; the third is not quite 8o good, and tho fourth brings the drop. This law, however, does not apply to cities located like Omaha, which are entrepot to large sections of country and conters for wholesalo trade. Such no local pufing to advertize their advantages. Every shipment of goods to other towns, and every or- der for merchandise from the east in- dicates their commercial position. Their growing manufactures, heavy banking operations, and the rapid growth of population revealed by the annual school census—all place thom above the common laws which'govern the prosperity of rural towns and vil- ages, But Omaha has entered upon no four years boom, She has experienced no unhealthy growth in any one di- rection. The extensive building operations witnessed by her citizons during the past three years have failed to fill the pressing demand for more room for wholesaling, retail business and homes for actual resi- dents. Houses are in such demand that the sign “‘for rent” ishardly tacked up before 1t is removed by a new ten- ant. Our brick yards are straining every endeavor to supply materials for the new and elegant structures Which are rising in every direction along our business thoroughfares, while the smallest cottage leaves the carpenters hands one day only to be ocgupied the next by a purchaser or tenant. The steady advance in real estate, and the rapidity with which every eli- gible location is taken up by willing purchasers, is another mark of the in- creasing prosperity of Omaha. In nearly every instance such transfers aro made for building purposes, and not with a view to land speculation. need The suburbs of the city are steadily filling up with a class of small but substantial cottages, each of which contains a home and family and rep- resents a corresponding demand upon the grocer, butcher and dry goods dealer for food and clothing. Omaha's wholesale trade has never been as great for any corresponding period as at the present time, The severe winter and late spring of course affected its volume greatly, but it has since more than made up the disadvantage, and by the end of the year will show at loast a gain of 30 per cent. over last year's sales. 1f the clearings of our banks werc only published, the great impor- tance of Omaha as a financial centar would be a surprise even to her citizens. No city between Chica- go and San Francisco, if 8t. Louis is excepted, transacts the business done by Omaha’'s banking institutions, which supply neighboring cities and towns with currency and exchange as far cast as Des Moines and as far west as Salt Lake City. To a great degree the prosperity of our city is due to the growth and pros- perity of our state. The rapid exten- sion of spreading railway systems, the promise of good crops, the abundant employment for skilled skilled labor, the immigration which is settling our counties and building up our towns and villages ex ercise a stimulating influence on the metropolis of Nebraska, So long as these continue, a steady growth is guaranteed to our city even with the most ordinary local effort. But a number of other causes will combine to make our present boom continuous, The advantages of our city as a manu- facturing point are just beginning to be appreciated. Eastern capitalists will not be slow to place their idle funds in investments which promise good and speedy returns. With manufac- tures will come & manufacturing population which in turn will support new wholesale and retail merchants and call for increased building accom- modations. Above all, the genuine enterprise of our citizens of moderate means, but more than moderate public spirit, will not fail us in the future. With such men at the helm Omaha's boom will cease to be a matter of com- ment and will soon become recognized a8 the natural increase of a city which at no distant day is destined to be the metropolis of the Missouri Valley. , and un- THE HOPE OF THE SOUTH. The only hope for the south lies in the downfall of bourbonism, by which we mean that cruel, despotic, and un- American force under the guise of democracy, which now controls that section of the country, and acts as a bar to all political, ‘mental and ma- terial progress. Every movement which has for its object the over- throw of bourbonism, is worthy of all support. The organization of Senator Mahone's party in Virginia was the first substantial protest against the methods of southern democracy. THE Bee did not approve of the protract- ed session of the senate, which had no other object than the recogni tion of Scnator Mahone by the ap- pointment of Riddleberger sergeant- of-arms when such action could as well have been deferred until the De- cember session of congress. In so far, however, as the position of Senator Mahone and his adherents, was a protest against bourbonism and not a bold finesse tor the trump card of of- fico holding, he received the hearty support of all good repub- cans throughout the Union, and the confidence that material assis- tance would be afforded to any south- erners bold enough to break from the thralls of party slavery lhas strength- ened the indepondent cause through* out the south. The latest movement towards an or- ganized opposition to Bourbonism comes from Mississippi, Encouraged by the example of the anti-Bour- bons of Virginia, the liberal ele- ments of Mississippi ering a basis of an assault in upon the unnatural and unlawful bourbon pow- er which dominates a ropublican state. Republicans, liberal democrats, and greenbackers are maturing plans to clear tho decks for action, Ex-Sena- tor Bruce, register of the treasury, believes that there is a chance not ouly to reclaim the state legislature, which will send to the United States senate an anti-bourbon 1n the place of Senator Lamar, are consid- alliance for force 1f a free ballot were only assured to Mississippi republicans they could easily carry tho state without coali- tion, There are enough vepublicans in Mississippi, but unfortustely no republican party. The frauds which gave such men as Chalmers nearly 4,000 majority for congress out of a returned vote of a little over 14,000 have made Missis- sippi a Bourbon state. By throwing out on the flimsiest of technicalities 4,842 votes for Lynch, colored, in six counties, and judiciously intimidating nobody knows how many more Re- publican voters, Chalmers claims his seat in the forty-seventh congress. There are democrats in Mississippi who have had the boldness to denounce shameless this Bourbon triumph in Shoe-string distriot as & bare-faced fraud. The democratic delegation in both houses of congress. Every candid minded man believes that Mississippi is largely republican. In 1872, with Greeley running against Grant and presumably drawing off some of the republican strength, the republicans polled 82,175 votes, 63.47 per cent. of the whole vote cast, and carried the state by 34,887 majority. In 1876 Tilden carried the state against Hayes by 49,568 majority, the g but 52,6056 votes, 3L.93 per the whole, out of a total vote of 164,778, 1In 1880 the total vote was but 117,078, Garfield receiving 34,854, 20.76 per cent. of the vote cast, against 75,750 In four years 47,000 republicans po cent. of for Hancoc voters had disappeared. To-day a solid democratic delegation sits in congress from Mississippi. Tt is asa protest against such outrageous frauds and tyrannical despotism that the in- dependents and republicans of the state propose to combine. It is sincerely to be hoped that they will succeed. The movement once inaugurated in Virginia and Mis- sissippi, will spread to other states. The whole south is ripe for it. Every intelligent citizen of liberal tendencies is eager to cast off the blighting curse which has paralyzed every industry of the south, and retarded the growth of a country singularly blessed by na- ture. 1In the downfall and destruc- tion of bourbonism lies the hope of the south. Tue monetary conference at Pari is soon to reassemble, and it is inti- mated that in case it fails to accom- plish its purpose the French and American delegates will consider a plan by which bimetallism may be maintained in France and the United States. It is to be hoped that an in- ternational silver union will be formed. Unless some plan can be de- vised to keep up the price of silver, France and other European countries will suffer serious loss. The coinage by the American government of two million dollars a month has had some- thing to do with the comparative steadiness of the silver market for the past two or three years, This demand for coinage, together with the silver consumed in the arts, has been nearly, if not quite, equal to the supply from the American mines, The European markets have consequently had some seventy or eighty millions less to dis- pose of than if the American govern- ment had not resumed the coinage of silver dollars. But if the Monctary conforence fails, it is by no means cortain that the United States will continue to coin silver dollars. Silver coinage may be limited to the frac- tional coins, which serve merely as token money. In that event, silver would most likely depreciate in the European markets. The amount of silver retained by Germany 18 estimated at from $800,- 000,000 to $20,000,000. This large amount Germany has promised to withhold in case an International Money Union ‘was formed. Should such a union fail it will probably be thrown upon the market for sale to the highest bidder. \ failure of our own government to continue the purchase of bullion for coinage would compel the product of American silver mines to seek the general market and the effect would be to greatly depress the value of silver. The demand for it will be shut off, except as to India and China. What would be the extent of the debrecia- tion no one can foretell. France might bo compelled to demonetize silver, and then to add her immense stores to those of the United States and Germany. But if Franceand the United States agree to coin silver, and make it a legal tonder at the true ratio, they may provent any depreciation of silyer | P! below the ratio they agree upon. F'or instance, if the ratio agreed upon should be such as would require 420 geains in our American silver dollar, the two coyntries might coin silver on But if the French adhere to their present ratio of 154 to 1, which would make a lighter coin than our present dollar, equal to a dollar in gold, the probability is that the law of demand and supply would event- ually drive both nations from the agreement, r———— that basis. PuiaNtuRorists are not always practical politicians, and Mr, W, W, Coreoran, the venerable benefactor of | ¥ Washington, scems least of all. He has written a communication to the New York Nation proposing an amend- ment to the "constitution of the Uni- ted States oy which it i to be pro- vided that on the mceting of congress in December, 1884, and every four years thereafter, the house of repre- sentatives shall elect three members of the senate, whose names shall be placed by the tellers in a box and drawn therefrom by the speaker—the first drawn to be president of the United States, the second vice president and the third president pro tem, of the senate, to succeed each other in the samo order in the event of a vacancy by death or otherwise. This plan, Mr. Corcoran thinks,would raise the character of the senate,would prevent intrigue in the management of polliical conventions and would put an end to the turmoil of presidential same mothods give the state a solid |elections. Oue trial of such an ex, periment would convince the most foolhardy. The dirty work that would be perpetrated around that lottery box on the day in which the first prize was announced to be drawn would discound Patics's famous performances in Omaha. Tue Glenwood Jowrnal, a demo- cratic paper in Mills county, Towa, has the courage to repudiate the state ticket recently nominated by its party, on the ground that it does not repre- sent the interests of the people on tha of the day. The Journal expresses its views in the fol- lowing terse language: The democratic party, it is evident from the composition of its commit- tee, is as completely in the power of the railroad ring as is the republican party, and it would be as foolish for the people to expect reform in railraod legislation from their suggestion as from a republican committee's. This is the conclusion we have arrived at from a scanning of the names. We wash our hands of the affair. vital problems GreexNsackisM evidently is not pop- ular in Michigan. The grand green- back camp meeting at Lansing opened Tuesday with only fifty persons pres- ent, where 50,000 had been expected. Seventy empty gents, Solon Chase, General Weaver, West and TIngalls were melancholy witnesses of the fact that “fooling with the currency” is at present not in fashion. Tur Elmira Free Press has been consulting George Washington through a spiritual medium, and re- ports the “Father of his Country” as sending the following: “I sec that it is proposed to erect a monument to ‘Troquois.” Give him mine.” The Ute Troubles. Denver Republfcan. The Ute disturbances reported from the far southwest may develop into something generally serious and alarm- ing, and may not. The reports as far as received here, are so incoherent, disjointed and indefinite that it is a little difficult to determine exactly what has occurred and how much harm has been done. It appears that some seven or eight white men have been killed, or wounded. This is, perhaps, enough of loss of life, and and has enough of suggestion of sorrow and of desolation to measurably satisfy the humani- tarian _Indian admirers of the east. They have very little to gratify them since the slaymng of poor old Father Meeker and his companions, and the dark and cruel experiences of his wife and daughter. But then, on the other hand, they have not been distressed by the spectacle of ven- geance wreaked on any of the Ute chiefs. The only pain inflicted on them has been caused by the impris- prisonment of Chief Douglass, So in the present case they ought to be sat- isfied with the murders already com- mitted by the Utes, and not call for the infliction of further punishment upon the settlers on the southwestern frontier. The history of the disturbances, from their cause to their development in desultory battles in the forests and amid the mountains, seems to be, in substance, about as follows: The Utes made depredations upon the set- tlements, murdering one man and stealing a large amount_of stock, in- cluding about a hundred horses. The settlers, chiefly stockmen, too impa- tient to wait for the traditionally slow and hesitating methods of the govern- ment, took the work of reparation and vengeance into their own hands, They organized into an armed band, well mounted and equipped, and in- vaded the Indian country for the double purpose of recovering the stolen stock and avenging the murder of their companion, The result of this movement 1s indefinitely iudicated in the reports that have ap- peared in the papers. Some of the stock has, perhaps, been recovered. But whether or not any Indians have been killed still remains a matter of mere conjecture, : The settlers seem dotermined to continue this work of protecting them selves and avenging their wrongs; and they are likely to do it, thorough- ly, effectively and promptly. The; doubtless have among them enougx of the old soldier element to sup- ly all that is needed of organ- ization discipline and method. Too much of these things, as has been learned in dark, sad lessons of defeat and massacre, are ruinous to the efficiency of troops in fighting the In- dians, The aroused and enraged set- tler may possibly settle the whole business, and also settle most of the Utes beforo the goyernment gets any troops on the scene of action, or be- comes really aware of what is going on, Who in Colorado, or in the west,can blame the settlers for the course they have taken? With the story of White river fresh in their recollection, how much of protection or reparationcould they reasonably expect of the govern- ment! And can strong, courageous men, with arms in their hands, be ex- pected to stand idly by whileldepredat- ing savages are despoiling them of their property and murdering their companions? The only wonder 18 that the frontiersmen have not sooner done as those of the far southwest are now doing, The New Version, Never, probably, in the history of the world was so much Bible reading done in a brief time as since the ap- pearance of the new version of the Now Testament. Its sale has been immense, far beyond all expectations. Nearly 3,000,000 copies were pur- chased in England, and The Philadel- phia Times relates what the demand has been for it in that city and else- where. Lippincott & Co. alone say they could have sold half a million copies in a week them, instead of 100,000, Olax- ton & Co, report the same extraordi- nary demand; Porter & Coates, John Wanamaker and Holman & Co. con- firm their statements. Philadelphia, in all, has disposed of over 500,000 copies. Porter & Coates have issued what is known as the com ve edi- tion, containing the old. version and if they had|h the new in parallel columns, and al- ready report that they have orders in excess of their present supply to_the extent of four thousand copies. Hub- bard Brothers have also issued an American edition, of which they report 40,000 copies or- dered inside a week. A list of other houses in Philadelphia and New York is given, which have heavy or- ders on hand to be filled when they shall have received further supplies of the work, Every town and city in this country and England has had, or will have, its proportionate number of the book, 8o that it can be well imag- ined that it has a vast sale, from which the profits to the publishers will, in the aggregate, be very large, BCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. Cisterns and tanks may be made water- tight by painting the inside thickly with a mixtire of eight parts of melted glue and four parts of linseed oil, boiled with litharge, The cistern may be filled in 48 hours, Algiers possesses a river of veritable ink? Two streams, one starting from a region where the soil is ferruginous, the other from a peat swamp, meet and form the river, whose inky constituency is due to the mixing of the iron and gallic acid which the two tributary streams respec- tively contain. An_FEnglish nobleman near Newcastle gots the benefit ot the electric light for al- most nothing, as he gets his motive nower from a brook, and so has no engine to_eat up money. The stream turnsa turbine water wheel, that runs a dynamite-electric machine, and enough electricity is secured to keep §7 Swan lamps burning. Fontaine, the Georgia land and immi. gration commissioner, argues the case of southern manufactures with Mr. Atkinson, He says Georgia cotton mills have an ad- vantage of 810 a bale in the cost of cotton, andjof 33 per cent. in_ the cost of brick and 66 por cent, in that of lumber, At Colum- bus, Ga., are mills employing 1800 white operatives, The president of the New Orleavs Water company states that in_his opinion the fur- nishing of water to consumers who desire to connect with the new sewers ought not to be made an additional cost to the consum. ers, because, in fact, the general use of sewer connections will be a benefit ‘rather than a disadvantage to the compa: ny, as s much less water will be used from the fire hydrants for flushing out the tters and washing away the slops and 1th now thrown into the streets. The number of the plate works in Great Britain is ninety-six, with 372 mills. The annual capacity of these works is placed at 8,213,000 boxes, but as some thirty mills have been stopped on account of the strike prevailing in the tin-making districts, and as about forty other mills have ceased op- erations from other causes, the present rate of prpduction is reduced to 6,615,500 boxes annually. The home consumption of plates is placed by well-informed Eng- lish writers at 2,000,000 boxes annually. The scientific newspapers for the past few months have been explaining the meaning of the different names applied to steel. An exchange sums up as follows: Blister steol ia mado by causing the carbon of charcool to penetrate iron in a heated state. German steel is blister steel ro'led down into bars, Sheet steel is made by hammering blister steel. Double shear steel is made by cutting up blister steel and putting it tofiether and hammering again. Crucible steel is made by melting wrought iron and charcoal and scrap, Bessemer steel is made by blowing air through cast iron, burning the silicon and carbon out. Open-hearth steel is made by melting pig iron and mixing wrought iron, or scrap steel or iron ore to reduce the silicon and carbon, The details of the recent watch compe- tition at Melbourne are caloulated to moderate somewhat our pride in Ameri- can watches, as they were_shown to be in- ferior as time-keepers to both the Swiss and English. The Locle watch, which ained the first }»rlzc, seems, indeed, to ave reached perfection in_respect o’ ac- curacy, having scored 500 points in a possible 500; a London wateh came in second with 495 marks, whila their best American competitor scored but 430, As regards finish, however, and _general ap- pearance. the American_watch leads the world, scoring 445 points out of 500, while the Locle watch had but 403, and the London was last but one in a list of eight, with only 31 points to its credit, The moral is that England has_paid_too much attention to accuracy, and too little to appearance, while America has sacri- ficed real merit in a measure togood looks. The new discovery of a method by which electricity may be stored in a box and transmitted from place to place, suggests unlimited pou»ibi{itiea of practical appli- cation. Sir William Thomson states that his colleague, Prof. Buchanan, carried away from his laboratory in his carriage one of the lead cells, weighing eighteen }wundn, and by its use was able to per- orm a surgical operation in one minute which waufill otherwise have foccupied ten. The operation was the removal of a tumor from a boy's tongue. Sir William Thom- son hopes that a very short time will be allowed to pass before the Faure battery is made to do for the electric light what a water cistern does for a water supply. He also foresees another very important ap- plication of the ‘‘accumulator” for the electric lighting of ships, Altogether we seem to be on the eve of one more great revolution in the matter of motive forces and artificial lichts, The great Krupp works at Essen, Ger- many, illustrate the immense progress which the metallurgical and mechanical industries have made in the western pro- vinces of Prussia within the last thirty years. In 1851, 250 hands were employed at these works, producing 560 tons of cast steel, or 2.24 tous each hand, In 1861, the number of hands had increased to 2136, the turn-out being 5000 tons of steel, or 2,86 tons per man per annum. In 1865, the production rose to 50,000 tons, and the number of hands to 8187, o that the pro- portional production amounted to about 6,10 tons & man, By 1872 the quantity of cast steel turned out by the *‘Kanonen. konig,” or “comon king,” had risen at & bound up to 125,000 tons, and the number of workmen up to 12,000, so that each man turned out as much as 10,42 tons a year. In 1876, the proportional production “took & further step forward, and the great steel manufacturer was generally credited with havin, taken & leaf out of the .imok of Herr Camphausen, the minister of finance, whose notions of political economy were peculiar, In that {cu the firm kept 8,237 men, and produced 153,400 tons of steel, being at a rate of 18.70 tons of steel per man a_ year, Thus, in the course of 25 years, duction of steel per man per annnm at Es. sen rose from 2 tons b cwt. to 18 tons 15 ewt, The proportion pe: i is not known, but the egate produc. tion 1s supposed to have increased, A t Faot.
