Tt is httle o/ brought to moro than two weeks since the Irish Land Bill, which for seven months had been under discussion in the lower house, was sent to the house of lords for their approval. The peers, under tho leadership of such heavy land owners as the Duke of Argyle and the Marquis of Salisbury, mutilated the bill without stint, and by skilltully inserted amendments framed in the interest of the landlords sought to destroy the effectivencss of the proposed reform measure. The bill was recommitted to the house of commons, which, by a large majority, supported the government, refused to exempt from the operations of the bill any portion of the island, reaffirmed the principles of the origi- nal measure and returned it again to the house of lords for their approval.

THE ALLIANCE IN POLITICS. The impending fall campaizn has brought the proposed organization of an independent political party on the platform adopted by the farmers’ al- liance prominently to the front. In some counties of the state the mem- bers of the alliance have already ealled conventions to put candidates in nomination for county offices and in others the proposed new departvre is being actively discussed, The following address of the pres- ident and sceretary of the Nebraska state farmers’ alliance com- mends itsell te every member of the alliance and anti-monopolists generally, as well considered, timely and sound, In common with these gentlemen wo are of the opinion that the attempt to organizo an independent political party in Nebraska 18 premature, There are, however, exceptions in some lo- calities which demand prompt inde- pendent action. Tn some counties the entire party machinery is in the hands of corrupt jobbers and local rings that act in collusion with the monopolies. Primary elections and conventions are packed and nominations made to per- petuate the power of monopolies and their allics.. Wherever such a state of facts does exist the farmers wheth: | er members of the alliance or not should band together and elect hon- est and competent county officials and even if they are defeated in the con- test this fall they will profit by their oxperience next year.when there are great issues involved in the campaign. NEBRASKA BTATE FARMRRY' ALLIA: SECRETARY'S Oy¥ick, MxLroY, Augnst 16, 1881, | To the Subordinate Alliances of the State, The practical uestion presente to the alliances of the state, and no being considered by large numbers of of them, is thls: How can we apply our strength 50 as to best promote the interests 1:1’ the state, and secure the election of the largest number of our friends this fall? Whether this can best be done by influencing the action of parties as at presont conatituted, or by forming new orgamzations, is a question of vital importance to these interests, and involves our success or falure in the present year, and proba- Dbly in the future. In solving this problem we should consider the character of our strength and the obstacles we have to encoun- ter. Our membership is made up of about an average of the members of all polltical parties. We are formed @8 a non-parfisan organization, aiming at united political action upon those points only in which our interests are identified, and our partisan prejudices do mnot conflict. ~ Consistent con- formity to this principle involves the duty of a vigilaut supervision of the primaries of the old parties, and the choosing as delegates to their conven- tions of men who are devoted to our principles. It also involver the adop- tion of sound anti-monopoly views in their platforms and the nomination of candidates who will to the extent of their ability carry out those views. With our present strength the above plan is pertectly practicable in a large number of the counties of the state. The other method involves the at- tempt to form not one new party, but a large number of new parties, whose platforms would be variously colored according to the local proclivities of the different counties and which would lack the coherence to be derived from a state organization, and would en- counter other obstacles from which the first plan 1s free, . Almost the strongest tie voluntarily assumed by men is the party tie, This may scem unreasonable, but it is troe; and it is the part of wisdom to take facts aw they are rather than as we think they should be, By attack- his tie we willinevitably alienate a large portion of our strength, In overy county where we attempt to form & new party, the dominant party will charge us with being the tail of the weaker one; and however unjust the charge, 1t is impossible to dofend ourselves against it. The weaker party secks to absorb or affilliate with new party organizations, The charge would be pressed—has, in fact, in some cases, already been pressed — the extension of the franchise, a prac- tical revolution took place in Eng- land’s political system. The house of commons became almost repub- lican in character and the functions of parliament be- became still further centralized in the house of commons, Radicalism looked with more and more impatience and disfavor upon the veto upon legisla- tion passed by the house of lords, a body whose members represent a condition of society and politics which are not in accordance with English political or social sentiment of the present day. English conservatism has heretofore repressed any move- ment looking to the abolition of the upper house, but even English con- servatism will not admit of too much trifling. A fow more stich exhibitions of defiance to the commons as have htui' taken place iy the \ippvr house will preeipitate a storm ‘which may shake the peerage to its foundations and destroy forever the political power Oorof forly citics whose health and would invariably alienate from us large numbers of persons who from the habit of many years have become devoted to their party name. Asa third party we would have little chance of success. As an element combined with the minority party we would have still less, Al success is of vastly more importance to us than any party name, it would seem as though the direction of our efforts to that end through existing agencies would commend itself to our mention, Wo are not advocating devotion to old parties. Wo are simply recom- mending that we avail ourselyes of the most eflegtive weapon whigh lies roady to our hands to accomplish our purposes, With those who think the old parties have done little for the people, a8 far as anti-monopoly meas- ures are concerned, we heartily agree. But at the same time we submit that the character of a party, for the time being, is determined by the character of its candidates and the nature of its platforms and measures. Make, by concerted action in_each county, the two dominant parties anti-monopoly in candidates and principles this year, and we place them on the road to usefuluess and command the situa- tion, For the future, dbvelop, organ- ize and harmonize our strength, and when the time of our nced comes wa will & party, new in statistics were published by the na- tional board of health, Owmaha stood }.rhwiple, young in strength, and i or great achievements, ready made to our hands and devcted to our uses. For the above reasons we earnestly LY recemmend that our non-partizan nt-Tnl his ‘““Artist’s Reminiscences,” en- titude be adhered to; that no new party organizations be attempted, and that independent nominations be not made, except in cases where nomina- tion of the old parties are unaccep- table.

Accorpixg to a summary of the Now York Times the census gives the follewing facts of the ownership of the national debt: “Over 36 per cent., of the individ- ual holders are in New England, but they hold only 11 per cent., of the nds; 42 per cent., of the holders and 43} per cent., of the bonds .be- long to the Middle States; the west has 16 per cent., of the holders and 8} per cent., of the bonds; the banks (national banks excluded) and other corporations — 2 per cent., in number —own 35} per cent. Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvanis stand first as to number of holders, hav- ing respectively, 23.04, 20.24 and 1425 per cent., of the whole. Ohio is next, with 5.64, and then the ratio falls away. As to the amounts held, New York stands far sthe head, with 32.60 per cent; then assachusetts, with 6.99, The Dis- trict of Columbia has 1,320 private holders to the 100,000 of population, ranking first in_ thid respect; Massa- chusetts, New Han re and Ver- mont follow with 950, 850 and 570; this state stands seventh, with 290, Massachusetts, with 8§ per cent of the total population, has 23 per cent of the total number of bondholders; Now York has 10 per cent of the pop- ulation and 20 per cent of the bond- holders. Arriovcn General Hatch has re- peatedly given assurance’ that he has all the troops he negeds for the pro- tection of the peoole of New Mexico, the massacré of the New Mexican settlers by roving bands of Apaches is arousing a feeling of insecurity in New Mexico that has culminated in the organization of volunteers who propose to pursue, capture, punish and exterminate the Apache murder- ers and thieves. There is yery little doubt that these frontiersmen will soon rid New Mexico of these red- handed bandits without the assistance of General Hatch. Meantime the regulars under General Hatch are hunting for the Apaches—where they run very little risk of their en- counter.

R. Dorr, is wor- thy of note. The Editor's EM{ Chair and other departments aro fully supplied with interesting and timely matter, The Railroad War Growing Inter~ esting. The railroad war has at last assumed a serious aspect, Heretofore the rival companies were like men fencing with foils or boxing with soft gloves; now they resemble antagonists who have taken the buttons from the foils or the gloves from the hands and vropose to draw blood. The cutting of rates is rapidly approaching a figure which involves actual loss, and this condition is almost a sure forerunner of a settle- ment of the differences and an agree- ment upon rates that will draw blood from the public. It is not probable, however, that the railroads will be able to combine upon any exorbitant charges for freight so long a lake navi- gation is open and that powerful com- petition continues, and an effort to restoro the usual ~passenger rates between the East and the West may be resisted by some of the trguk roads which have learned thatSthey can make more moncy at one cent a mile for every through passenger than they can at two or two and one-half cents per mile. Whatever may be the terms of a new agreement, it has been demonstrated that the Fink pool sys- tem is not absolute nor reliable, and it will hardly be cited for some time to come as the true solution of the railroad problem, The terms of fighting, up to within | a day or two, were by mutual consent a cut on the freight busines: from the west to the east while retaining the old rates on tra from the east to the west, and a cut on the west-ward passenger business while adhering to higher rates on the east-bound travel, This was a very absurd arrangement and could not last long. It was al- together unbusiness-like to demand 75 cents for carrying 100 pounds of freight the same distance one way, while doing the same service in the opposite for fifteen cents. In liko manner it was illogical to demand $20 or even $15 for carrying a passenger from Chicago to New York when the same passenger was brought from New York to Chicago in the same stylo and andat the same rate of speed for 87. A break in any such arrangement as that would surely come even if the railroads were on good terms; it has come all the sooner on account of the bad feeling between the managers of the different roads, The Grand Trunk and Central Ver- mont roads, leading from Boston, v Montreal, to Chicago, acting together, have been the first to scale down the rates of west-bound. freight to about the same level as the rates on east- bound freight between Boston and Chicago, The rates fixed range from 15 to 30 cents per 100 pounds which have heretofore been manifested at 40 to 75 cents, according to class. The roads competing for the business be- tween Boston and the west will be |z compelled to adopt a similar tariff, and the New York business must be regulated within a short time upon the same basis, for New York cannot afford to sacrifice any of its trade to Boston, The Grand Trunk will make amove in the same direction on the passenger rates 1t is said that Bos- ton excursionists have alrcady been brought to Chicago at §> each, with return tickets guaranteed at the same rate; and, if the war goes on, the Grand Trunk will probably sell tickets regularly at that rate going east as| well as west. The other ¥oads will be compelled to do likewise, The pur- pose of the Grand Trunk is very evi- 5unt. It has taken heroic measures to bring to a close a war of rates in which it has been a. heavy loser of business, and a restoration of agrecd rates will probably be the result. 1f the railroad nanagers are wise they will not let their recent experi- ence pass without learning the lesson which 1t teaches. The increase of travel, though the reduced rates have not been in the direction of the pre- vailing trovel at this season of the year, has been such as to show that there will be greater profit to the vailroads in carrying passengers st a reasonable figure than in returning to the excessive charges. Itis estimated that, on the old basis of restricted travel at high rates, the cost of carry- inga passenger waseight-teenths of oue | ceut per mile, 1f the cars were run full instead of half-empty this cost would be reduced to one-half of one per cent per mi The railroads may earn more money by making a rate of one cent a wile per passenger on through business than by going back to two cents per mile. Instead of ro- storing the old rate of $20 between | New York aud Chicago, let them agree | upon a $10 rate, and they will find | that it will pay them, as the lower| rates for freight have paid. The dan- l gor of catting rates will no longer be | imminent. The expenses of soliciting passcuger business may be materially veluced. The practice of giving passes may then be cut off altogether. The revenues of the companies will be larger, the net earnings on the pas- senger business will be fully equal to what they were uuder the system of high rates, the roads will be kept busy, | the forces of operatives will be main- | tained steadily, and the public will be better disposed toward the corpora- tions than they have been in many years. The policy will pay. PERSONALITIES, Rufus Hateh aspires to be the Vennor of the stock market, O'Dynamite Ros«a is the neat nir»knmm»[ given by the Cleveland (0.) Leader.
