Prince Bismarck by this act has thrown down the gauntlet to the liberals and by a bold streke of pclicy has offered the | olive branch to the Ultramontane branch of the party. This act is the first concession made conservative by Prussia to the vatican since the passage of the Falk laws. Those laws required that the nominations of bish- ops and priests, before being promul- gated, should be submitted to the state authorities for their approval, and that the servants of the should declare their allegiance to the church temporal power as a condition to con- tinuing in the exercise of their ec- clesinstical functions. The conse- quence was that thousands of eathed- rals and churches were closed, the pre- Iates disdaining to acknowledge in any way the power of the state, and many es, like those of Paderborn, Fulda, and Treves, became vermanently va- cant, their bishops dying in exile, and the Falk laws preventing any steps being taken for the appointment of successors to their positions. Learning that Dr. Korum would be acceptable to the government, the Pope forthwith .appointed him, and his recognition by the government at once followed. It cannot be denied fhat the Vatican has yielded nothing in the contest now ended. The ter- mination of the etruggle has been un- der process of preparation by the Ger- man chancellor for months past. His first step was the act giving the gov- ernment discretionary powers in en- forcing the Falk laws. . Another was the appointment of Herr von Gossler as minister of public worship, he be- inga yerymild enemy of Ultramontan- ism, compared with his predecessor, Herr von Puttkamer. The transfer of Nerr von Schlozer, the present German minister at Washington, to the post of charge d’ affaires at the Vatican, and the reception of a papal nuncio at Berlin, will put the relations of Russia and the papacy once more on a friendly footing, and will prac- tically terminate the long war, The object of Bismarck in crying truce to his war with Rome is plain. The coming elections are to determine the continuance of his power in the reichstag, and he wishes to influence the elections in such a way as to unite the conservatives and ultramontane parties in the reichstag into a con- stant and obedient majority. He is likely to gain his point. TInstructions are said to have been issued to the ultramontane leaders throughout Ger- many to cause their followers to sup- port conservative candidates in dis- tricts where the election of a deputy of the centre (ultramontane) is im- possible. Such a course will secure a majority which no combination of the different factions of the liberal party can over- come, One of the most apparent effects of the passage of the Irish land bill is the increased discussion on land ten- ure in England. It is already ciear that the Irish land bill cannot possi- bly be a finality, and that its effect will not be Jimited to Ireland. It is but a prelude toa similar and far more important and perilous agitation force such laws by adequate penal- ties, to the extent if necessary for that purpose—of forfeiture of their franchises This provision of the Constitution made it mandatory upon the legisla- ture to pass laws prohibiting unjust discrimination and extortion, and the Doane law is the mildest form in which such a prohibltion could have been enacted. It simply places every shipper on the samo footing, but it does not pre- vent the classification of freights nor the establishwent of car load rates, It merely compels the railroads to grant the same terms to every patron for the same class and quantity. It does not pru\'ont' the lowering of rates, but it prohibits extortion by declaring that the roads must not charge a higher rate than they charged in the fall of 1880, The law does not prohibit the roads from charging low through rates, but it merely declares they shall charge no higher rate for the shorter haul than they do for the loug haul, In other words they may make as low a rate from Omaha to Sidney g8 they ever in Great Britain, 1t would be absurd for English landlords to hope for long exomption*from the restrictions im- posed upen those of Ireland. In quite a number of the chief agricultu- ral counties of England committees have for months been assiduously at work organizing a movement simi- lar in its aims to those of the Irish land leaguo, though different in its methods. The English demand is at present somewhat vague and less clearly formulated than that of the land league, It is for ‘‘fair rents” and the right of the tenant to purchase ‘‘at a reasonable price” after a certain period of occupancy. But there is time enough for it to be shaped more definitely, as the move- ment 18 st 1l comparatively young, That the passage of the Irish Land bill will amount to a revolution is a fact recognized by all who survey the change in the light of British history. One of its inevitable, if not immediate results, must be a corresponding rev- olution] throughout Great Britin, pince it cannot reasonably be suppos- od that English, Scotch and Wales did but they shall not charge a higher rate for carrying the same class of freight to Fremont, Grand Island, or North Platte. 1Is there anything un- just or reasonable in such law? Could the legislature have done less in obedi- enco to its sworn duty to carrying out the plain lotter of the constitution? If tho constitutional provision requir- ing the legislature to pass such laws is unjust and unreasonable, let the men and corporations who so regard it demand its repeal and submit that preposition to vote of the people, Denver is greatly sgitatgd over Pueblos rising commercial import- ance, With Pueblo capturing the southern trade and Omaha knocking down the western persimmons Denver can well afford to be unhappy. —— Tus Farmers' Alliance is the health- iest political babe which has been born in these lattey days, tenant farmers will long remain con- tent with less than is accorded to the Irish, How the English masses feel on the subject may be seen in the faot that ever since the princaiple of the Land bill began to be clearly under- stood by the people at large Grav- sTONE'S name has elicited tremendous choering at "every public meeting where it has been even incidentally mentioned. The conclusion cannot be resisted that the passage of the Land bill is the commencement of a great revolutionary movement. A conservative free trader has car- riod the north Durham election in England also; and this second tri- umph of the now idea is exciting a fluttor in the hberal ranks. There will be another contest in Cambridge. shire on much the same issue, The liberals are, in fact, vory likely to lose on it every seat that may fall vacant in such of the counties as they wrest- ed from the conservatives in 1878 by small majorities, There could not be a more striking illustration of the sore need of an issue or “‘ory” in which the consorvative party now finds it self than Sir Stafford Northcote's ad- mission that he is in of free trade if it is reciprocated, inasmuch as he has hitherto a freetrader without conditions, and in all econom- ical matters an old pupil of Mr. Glad- stone’s.

To the Editor of Tis Dre. OMaHA, September 9.—As the ed- itor of the ‘“Omaha Herald"’ has been in the habit of attacking the railroad in an election speech. It is to devise such a policy as will unite the two parties of pronounced republicans— exoluding the conservatives on the one hand, and the radicals on the other — into a solid phalanx which can be de- pended on in every division. This al- liance would include a working ma- jority of the chamber of deputies, and thus get rid of that division of parties which has made government so diffi- cult and legislation nearly impossible. The first point in the new policy would be such a revision of the con- stitution as would bring thé senate into some kind of harmony with the chamberof deputies. The next point will be freedom of the press, freedom of meeting, and freedom of associa- tion. All these are enjoyed by the people of monarchial England, but not by the citizens of the French re- public. The Spanish elections developed some political methods in Madrid which would have discounted the New York system of “‘repeating,” had not the government detected it in time. The conservative party brought into the capital from various parts of the country 120 retired officials, and nearly 100 other persons. These were to vote, with the aid of false certifi- cates, in thirty-one different polling places. The certificates were those of deceased electors. The Madrid offi- cials, however, acted so promptly that the defrauders and their accomplices, to the number of 300 persons, are now under arrest,’ It was intended to sim- ulato 6,000 votes, Scveral high per- sonages of the conservative parly are reported to bo implicated n the con- spiracy. The economic condition of Cubahas finally attracted the attention of the Spanish cortes, Owing to the avil war, which has been maintained for twelve years, a debt of £85,000,000 now burdens the island. In addition Spain has hampered und restricted the commerce and discouraged all manu- factures until it is a matter for won- der that there is anything left worth fighting over. Recent statistics show that the cost of living in Cuba is nearly fifty per cent. higher than in our own country. This is the result of an exorbitant tariff placed on foods, which in some casocs is absolutely prohibitory, Taxes, too, are exorbitant and the receipts insuf- ficient to cover the costs of maintain- ing the government. Previous to the outbreak of the insurrection of 1868 the revenues, derived from customs, taxes on home manufactures and on cock-fights, the profits derived from the lottery and casual receipts, amounted to about twenty-six million ollars annually, of which six millions ere remitted to Spamn, Since 1868, though the taxes have been trebled, the receipts have not been sufficient to cover the enormous expenses entailed by tho rebellion, and the government has been compelled to borrow from time to time in order to make the most necessary payments, Large sums of paper money have been issued un- law of last winter by baseless asser- tions as to 1ts provisions (which it does not contain) and by absurd pre- dictions as to its results, (which could not flow from 1ts legitimate operation) T sent to him on Tuesday a communi- cation couched in respectful language, requesting him simply to publish the law, and then point out the particular provisions in it which he claimed would produce such dire results as he predicted. In Thursday mornings “Herald” appeared my communica- tion, but instead of publishing the law as requested, the editor devotes a column of his editorial page to my communication, distributed in about the following proportions: About one-fifth of the article is a ridiculous attempt to convict me of a mistake which I did not commit, in my ref- erence 10 the page of the laws of 1881, upon which the law could be found. In this the editor was wrong and I am right, as any one can sce who will take the trouble to refer to the session laws of 1881, at page 310. So that the editor has made an “‘amusing exposure” of his ignorance or inaccuracy, of which he made a ridiculious effort to convict me. About one-fifth of the article is de- voted to an abstract of, and a garbled extract from, one section of the law, and the rest of it is taken up with personal slurs upon myself, with what certain other persons would say absut the law if applied to, with misrepre- sentation as to what the law contains, and with promises of the editor us to what he will do at some future time, in discussing the workings of the law. There is not one single line of ar- gument, or legitimate deduction, based upon the law as it is in the whole of the editorial column article. There is abundance of bare assertion and empty bluster, based uponsome im- aginary law, which does not exist upon the statute books of this state. T ac- cordingly sent to the editor of the Herald on Thursday, the en- closed reply to his column of mud and misrepresentation, which was returned to me the day fol- lowing with a refusal to publish, on the ground of the ‘‘personal attack on the editor” which it contains. It | seoms that the editor is the only one privileged to make ‘‘personal at- tacks,” and that his skin is too thinto admit of any retort. But there is nothing like a ‘‘personal attack”’ upon the editor of the Herald in the en- closed article, unless he considers the garment which is adjusted to the rail- road attorney and champion, and to the monopolist, as fitting himself, or unless he considers the correction of his own ridiculous blunders as to the place where the law could be found as a “‘personal attack.” Will you do me the favor, which the editor of the Herald either had not the courage or the fairness to do, to publish this arti- cle in Tur BEE, and oblige, Respectfully, Ggko. W. Doaxe, Mge. Evitor:—1 regret that you did not comply with my reasonable request and publish the law to which reference is correctly made in my enough to publish in Thursday morn- ing's Herald, not “promptly,” as you claim credit for doing, but on the second day after it was placed in your hands, However, 1 should be thank- ful, perhaps, to be awarded a hearing on the merits of the *‘Doane law” in The Herald on any terms. Fearing that your failure to publish the law (which would have taken but little if any more space than you devoted to your statement of what it contains) may have arisen from your inability to find the as published by au- thority, I will again refer you for its auth d publication to page 310, of the “laws of Nebraska of 1881,” the til gold commands a premiuin of 102 per cent.

From this sum certain reductions aroto be made~—£29,000,000 for loans 1ecover- uble, and £3,976,682 for the purchase money tor Suez Canal shares, which leave the net total £736,168,420, There seems to be now every proba- bility that the negotiations betweon France and England for a renewal of the Treaty of Commerco will fail. The French Ministry declare themselves unable, under the legiglation of the last chamber, to extend the operation same reference by which I endeavored to enlighten you before, but you scem to have been seeking for light among the laws for the blind, appreciating your own necessitios more even than I did myself. You clann the credit of published this Jaw while it was peuding before the legs- lature, and attribu‘e my ignorance of the fact to my close apulication to the business of ‘“denouncing the editor of the Herald on the oor of the senate.” It is true T was very busily engiged at that time in endeavoring to ascertain by what sort'of legerdemain the con- tracts for btate printing and bind- Sur had been apportioned among three cortain offices, which had pre- viougly been in sharp competition, at prices ranging for different kinds of work from 50 to 1,000 per cent ad-| vance upon those for which they had been previously let. But I did not suppose you would be so sensitive as to construe this into a denunciation of the editor, however deeply the Herald | establishment may have been involved | in that disgraceful swindle. © 808- sion laws of 1881, on pago 310 of which will be found the ‘‘Doane law,” as you are pleased to term it, were rrmled and bound, I believe, in the asement of the Herald office, as a rt of the division of spoils at the otting of those contracts, at which letting all competition communication, which you were kind | * your possessfcn, in which the railroad Iaw is “plainly printed on pages 385 and 886," it must be a copy prifted for the special use of the editor of The Herald to enable him the better to deceive himself and to mislead others, In the very short space which you have devoted i+ your column article to specifications of your objections to the law, you confine yourself exclus- ively to the third section, and in dc- ing %0 you commit the same blunder (to call'it by no harsher term) which | all the railroad blowers and strikers against this law have committed, and persistenily and blindly insist upon committing, namely, that the “law is made to compel a road to make the same rate for a shor ul that it does for a long one.” This is not true. It aims at nothing of the kind, and the only extract of the law which you vouchsafed to givs in your article shows how grossly you and others huve either misunderstood, or have misrepresented, what the law really i ‘t he restriction in that section is upon the discrimination which was notoriously made by certain railroads against certain towns and localities in this state, as a punishment for refusing to vote bonds for such road, or for voting bonds to arailroad, It provides, for instance, that if a railroad company can afford 3 | to perform a certain service from Omaha to Sidney for'85.00 and does it 80, it shall not charge more than £5.00 to perform the same service to Columbus. Can you or anybody else give any good reason why it should be permitted to do so? Tam aware that railroad attorneys and champi- ons indulge in much loud lamentation, and shed many crocodile tears, over the ‘‘loss to Omaha business,” by the operation of their law, 1It1s all sheer bosh. There is not a provigion in the law which can produce such an effect; but railroad managers are comhining to endeaver to make the law odious, as T was advised in edvance of its pas- sage, they would do. They are pur- suing a policy towards some mer- chants and shippers, whom they think they can deceive and hoodwink, which they hypocritically ascribe to the work- ings of the ““Doane law,” whereas the law is no more chargeable with it than the unwritten law governing common carriers for a cen- tury, was, with the extortions and dis- criminations which have been prac- ticed by railroad companies in defiance of it. The pith of your article is all contained in the one sentence, which has been so often mouthed and reiterated by railroad attorneys, that thev have come to consider it an ax- iom, to-wit: “‘The raillways inust be left free in these matters, if the best good is to Le attained to all con- cerned.” By this, it is understood that your eyes have been blind and your ears deaf to all the abuses and extortions which have been practiced by these giant corporations. until the { burden has become too grievous to be borne, and yet ‘‘the rallways must be teft free in these matters!” This was not the doctrine of Jefferson or Jackson or Benton, or Judge Black, or any of the fathers and great lights of democracy. The very essence of democracy is equal rights and justice to all, rich and poor, powerful and weak ahke, and a watchful jealousy of the encroachments of corporate power upon the richts of the people. Anyone who advocates a policy at variance with this, T care not what he calls himself, is not a democrat, but a monopolist, The two characters are utterly inconsistent with each other, and cannot be uniied in the same per- son. When you shall “‘take the trou- ble to point out the ways in which the third section of the law operates to damage the wholesale trade of this city and state,” I may have something more to say on this subject, if you are disposed to accord fair play and free discussion. In the meantime, will you hav. the courage to print in the Herald the railroad law, which is found on page 310 of the Laws of Nebraska of 1881, and not the law on pages 385 and 386, which is a small part of the school law and has no ref- erence whatever to either the railroad law nor to the law regulating the in- Btitution for the blind, as you, in your excusable ignorance of the laws have stated, Respectfully, Geo W.
