With the exception of revenue collectors, the entire force employed in the revenue bureau is appointed and holds office at the pleasure of the secretary of the treasury or the commissioner of inter- nal revenue.

The most numerous class of civil service appointees that hold commis- sions from the president is in the consular and diplomatic ser- v and even they do not con- stitute a very formidable number, at least not formidable enough to kill apresident who is in fair health. The truth is that there are almost as many, if not more appointments in the military and naval ico—where evory officer is ap- by the president—as there the service. And while the army and navy offi- cers are seldom superceded or dis- missed, they are constantly up for pro- motion and each promotion is virtu- ally an appointment. All this executive labor could be borne without fatigue if it were not for the bulldozing and importuring of congressmen and senators.

By aid of an induction balance and a tolephone Prof. Bell has succeeded in locating the bullet mn President Garfield and verifying the statements of the doctors. Of course this is gratifying to the physicians. Prof. sioned a small army of brigadier and major generals, commodores and ad. mirals, and yet this task did not ser- iously impair his health—and Gen- eral Grant made thousands of appoint- ments in the military and civil service without losing a pound of flesh, There is no doubt that the civil service and especially the methods of appointment need radical reform, but there is no truth whatever in the statement that our Presidents are being killed by the overwork inci- dent in the appomtment of over 100,- 000 men and women that constitute the civil service list. OMAHA AS A MANUFACTUR- ING CENTRE The best evidence of Omaha's sub- stantial growth is the increase of her mnnufacturers, Ten years ago scarcely two hundred workingmen were em- Boll's instrament can telephone but it cannot tell a lie. Tuk death of Hon, E. H. Rogers at Vera Cruz, Mexico, was announced by telegraph Monday. Mr. Rogers had been appointed United States Consul at Vera Cruz last winter and had only arrived at his post of duty two or three days before his death. Mr. Rogers was among the pioneers of Nebraska and one of the lead- ing business men of Fremont, A native of New York, he came to Nebraska in 1856, two years after the territory vas organized, and was sev- eral times honored with u seat in the territorial legislature. For the past three years Mr. Rogers had been an invalid, and lus death was not alto- gether unexpected, EEEN—— "ok MoCrary laid down the doc- " a recent decision that the ‘s have the right to fix for common carriers ‘a4 commerce, ployed in manufacturing in a small way in our city, To-day over two thousand mechanics find employment in our shops and factories, Within five years we have quadrupled the ca- pacity of our Smelting Works, doub- 18d the area of our machine shoy ) tripled the facilities of our breweries and distilleries and established on a solid basis, white lead works, nail works, a linseed oil mill, a shot tower, a barb wire factory, foundries, cornice works and quite a number of smaller indus- tries that we have not the space to enumerate. And now we are about te add another very important estab- lishment to our manufacturing indus- tries in the shape of an agricultural implement and windmill factory, which starts out with a capital ot §60,- 000 and is destined to grow to much larger proportions at no distant day. No better field can exist in the west for an agricultural implement and windwill factory than right here in "“"u:'f“l:; Nebraska where vast sums are paid out annually for this class of manu- “tures. But Omaha's manufacturing is still mits infancy. Heretofore our very limited water facilities have necessa- rily retarded the establishment of or many manufacturing enterprises « fix | which required snamplesupply of cheap + Re- | water. The completion of our water it will | works system will be an incentive to s0 very | industrial development. The ex- pense of running steam boilers with THE OMAHA DAi | water carted from the river has kept many people from undertaking many | enterprises that would otherwise | long since have been started. Other in- | dustries which depended upon the use of water, not only for their steam en- gines but also for their processes of the | manufacture, have been foreed to lo- cate elsewhere, because we have had no works, These will now feel able to consider the advantages of our city as a manufacturing centre since the great obstacle to their cstablishment has been removed. Omaha, by her geographi- cal position, possesses great advan- tages as a centre for the manu- tacturing interests of the Missouri valley, Her enterprising merchants have rendered the states and territo- ries west to the Pacific const tributary to her markets and pushed their trade northward to the British line and south to the Kansas border. She is rapidly waining an enyiable reputation as the commercial metropolis of the far west whose development goes hand in hand with the growth of the trans- Missouri country. Capital is seeking investment in her midst, new lines of railtoads are yearly bidding for the transportation of her products and opening new avenues for the distribu- tion of her merchandise, while her banks are amply supplied with cheap capital which manufacturers can have to push their enterprises. But there is still room for a num- ber of industries which have not yet been established in Omaha. As the centra of one of the yreatest corn pro- ducing states in the west, Omaha of- fers an excellent location for glucose and starch factories. There is also an excellent opening for oatmeal mills and a paper mill, Many other articles can be profit- ably manufactured at this point for which the raw materials are at hand. Onro has an admirable system of checks and balances to guardher pub- lic funds.

Such & statement has just been published in the Colum- bus and Cincinnati papers which covers every item of receipts and dis- bursements with sworn statements of the cash balances and securities re- maining in the treasury or deposited in the various banks throughout the state, together with an exhibit of the deposit in each particular bank, with the securities of these depositories for the safe keeping money. This system is in striking contrast with the management of the public funds in Nebraska, Under our sys- tem nobody ever gets at the books of the treasurer except the legislature. Once every two years the farce of a legislative investigation which has not the time to investigate is gone through with and the state runs the risk of being saddled with a big loss or & big lawsuit, foct as any in tho union, ON Monday night the Colorado Iron Works, one of Donver's chief in- dustries, were burned to the ground, entailing a loss of $150,000, The Denver Fepublican makes this com- ment: The people of Denver should not be obliged to look on helpless and powerless while a great manufaclur- ing cstablishment is being consumed. If the present water works are not adequate to the demands upon them, if they cannct furnish the power to throw sufficient streams of water upon any buiiding with- in the city limits, then they should be improved, or better ones substituted in their place. If the fire department was at fault, then 1t should be reorganized. 1f the iron works were beyond the limits within which the water works are expected to afford protection, then it was the duty of the city council to have provided steam engines or other appliances for such an emergency as occuwrred last night, uAn JORDING to the Linfll:il)inwfmt r, Galoy says very om) ically that the L &{’u& ll‘.r{vill not be bu{lt un- less one hundred and fifty thousand dollars of aid are voted.

The following is from a Laramie paper: Paul Vandervoort, chief head clerk of the railway mail service, of Omaha, in company with Joe South- ard, mail clerk anda jolly good fellow, passed west on No. 3 last night, en route for Soda Springs, Tdaho, whence they will leave on a fishing trip on the Snake and Bear rivers, While Mr. Paul Jjunkets around the country the gov- ernment pays for a substitute and the postal service sufters accordingly Gex.

Although Dr., Miller isa democrat, hetakesa veryactive interest in republican congressmen, senators and generals, who have in the past been useful to the great monopoly and who are likely to be of great again whenever they get a chance, whatever else they may profess. So when Dr. Millers tells us that (teneral Dodge will back Mr. Wilson for the Towa senatorship he does not in the least surprise people who know the peculiar relations between Mr. Wil- son and the chiet engineer of the Gould system.

And now O'Donovan Rossa proceeds to explode the story of the infernal ma- chines. He says: The whole farco was gotten up by an Irishman who belongs to the league. He shipped some harmless material and then pretended to act as an informer to the British government. He went to Consul General Archi- bald and told him that ex- plosives had been sent and fur- nished him sufficient proof that the shipment had been made. For this the Irishman received $1,000 and was promised $10,000 more when the English police should have seized the explosives. The material which the Trishman shipped cost about 840, and he got for it §10,000, which will be used to fight the English with. Now that Archibald has found that he has been made the vietim of this practical joke he is teuring his hair with rage. this trinity of eloquent would not have monopolized all the oratorical honors. German Railways Now York Evening Post. Of the most important of recent contributions to the literature of the ‘‘Railway Problem” is embodied in | the official correspondence of the stato department for 1880, being a sketch made Dr. R. T. Ely, a feliow of | Hon. Adrew D. White, our late minis | ter at Berlin. Dr. Ely, it appears, | had spent some three years in study- ing this and similar questions in Ger many, His observations and conclu sions are given in the space of four- teen pages of the volume of diplomatic correspondence. Every point relating to the political, military and economic bearings of the Prussian railways is elucidated in this pains taking and ad} mirable dissertation, Railway building commenced in Germany in the year 1835. In 1838 the Prussian monarchy which was not then allowed to contract debts without the consent of the ‘‘estates of the realm,” which consent coull not be obtained and without which 1t was impossible to raise money for con- structing state railways—passed what might be called a ‘‘general railroad law,” which is still in force, fixing the conditions upon which such under tak- ings might be confided to private en- terprise. Some of these conditions might have been adopted with advan- tAFe in this country. For instance, all shares subscribed for must be paid in full in cash and the money ap- plied to the work before any borrow- ing can be done. No loan for con- struction purposes can be effected without the consent of the govern- ment, which has a right to require a sinking fund to be established for the liquidation of the debt. Railway tariffs must be conspicuously published, and no change which incrsases rates can go into effect until six weeks after publication, and no discrimination can be made between persons. When the profits of u railway exceed ten per centum upon the actual cost the tariff must be reduced. (This provision, by the way, has always been evaded). At the expiration of thirty years after g of any railway the state ht of purchasing it at a price equal to_twenty-five times its ayerage annual dividend dur- ing the five preceding years. Under this law rather more than one-half of the Prussian railways have been built. With the adoption of the constitution of 1850 the goveanment | acquired the means of constructing | railways with its own resources and | it built several roads which were deem- ed too expensive or too little remuner- ative for private enterprise, the most important of which was the one exten- ing from Berlin northeastwardly to the Russian frontier. No definite | railway policy was adopted by the state, and two system—that of private ownership and that of state control — grew side by side until the year 1866, when these were 3,600 kilometres in the former category and 3,300 in the latter. ~ About one-half of the roads operated § by the state were held under lease, the other half being own- ed by the government. By the po- litical annexations of 1866 the govern- ment came into possession of all the railways owned by the annexed king- dom and duchies. Nevertheless pri- vate enterprise outran the government until the beginning of 1873, when private companies oper- ated 7,000 kilometers against operated by the state. In this year Dr. Lasker made his fa- mous attack upon the minister of com- merce, Count Itzenplitz, charging cor- ruption in the administration of the general railroad law, whereby *‘con- cessions”’ or charters were granted to certain favorites of the minister, and withheld from others. A protracted investigation was had which substan- tially sustained Dr. Lasker's charges and led to Count Itzenplitz's resi gna- tion. The committee of investigation were charged among other things to inquire how far the intentions of the government in granting charters to private compames had been fulfilled. Under this head they reported that “‘railways are public highways resem- bling in essence and purpose other highways, The only means of justi- fymng the government in relinquish- ing them to private industry and speculation is financial necessity. It appears desirable to trunsfer to the empire a controlling power over all German railways."” Nothing was done to carry this re- commendation into effect until 1876, when Prince Bismarck brought in a bill in the Prussian Parliament to au- thorize the government, if it should desire to do so, to sell all the Prus- sian state railways, together with the government's right to acquire the pri vate railways, to the empire. Tnas- much as the Prussian system is the preponderating railway force in Ger- many, its acquisit by 1he imperial government would give to the latter a great access of power as against the *‘particularists” or state-rights party, who constitute the dominant faction in Bavaria, Wurtemberg anl Saxony. Prince Bismarck, in advocating the measure, made a speech which would have delighted our anti-monopoly league, The bill was passed by the Prussian parliament. It remained for the em- pire to complete the bargain by pur- The only trouble with O'Donovan Rossa is that he first gave currency to the dynamite story by boasting that the destruetion of the British steamer “Dateril” and one hundred and twen- ty-three of her seamen was the result of the exertions of himself and his “skirmishers.” The United State Senate Dubuque Telegraph. Now that Thurman, Conkling and Blaine are out of the United States senate, the ablest debater left in that body is Senator Edmunds,of Vermont. 1i, as is expected, Mr. Edmunds shall be appointed to fill the vacancy in the supreme court made by the death of Justice Olifford, the senate will then be without a single member of tower- ing ability. It is true that the repub- licans will still have Shermau and the democrats Bayard, but neither Sher- wan nor Bayard are at all comparable either as del rs or statesmen, to the other gentlemen named. If Thurman, Conkling, Blaine and Edmunds had been members of the senate in the days of Webster, Calhoun and Clay, chasing the Prussian railways.” The | “particularists” rallied against it in such force that it never brought before the reischstag at all. But Bis- marck was not deterred by adverse public opinion—he seldom is. He re doubled the exertions of the govern- ment to gain possession of the private railways of the kingd in_order to bring against the non-Prussian state | railways the powerful competition which the united Prussian systed un- der a single control isable to compass. By measures adopted in 1879, partly by purchase and partly by building new lines, the government became d of 15,000 kiiometers (about {0.000 miles) of railway, or tbree- fourths of the entire mileage of the kingdom. It is mow in a position where it can secure the remaining Prussian railways on its own terms, since it can destroy the value of their property by competition Geo.
