JAMES W. DAWES, Chm'n, F, J. Hexoessnor, Sec'y. pro tem. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 31, 1881, Havixa sorrowed for the dead the next duty will be the punishment of the assassin, Tz horny-fisted ward bummers are again swarming around the street col of Omaha. The primary -eleckion is near at hand. OmanA should by all means insist upon at least one member in the board of county commissioners, Omaha pays more than nine tenths of the county taxes, Tne St. Louis Republican sincerely trusts that the New York democracy will throw John Kelly overboard at tho approaching conventiou. John isn't that kind of a Jonah, Tux entire estato of General Gar- field at the time of his death was not worth $25,000 clear of incumbrances. Both his Mentor farm and Washing- ton residence were mortgaged for one half their valuo, But the nation will gladly more than make up the defi- ciency and remove all fear of want from the door of his noble wife and heroic mother, Tur Rhode Island legislature meets to-day and the election of a senator %o succeed Gonera! Burnside will take place next week. The leading ca i- «date is Aldrich but Col. William God- «dard is being) vigorously pushed for the place by his friends. Mr. Goddard xepresents §76,000,000 and runs a good chance of representing the great state of Rhode Island, Tue official board of visitors at ‘West Point has presented a wmajority report to the seeretury of war con- demning the present system under which the academy is o separate mli- tary department under command of a ‘major or brigadier goneral. The true cause of the charge was to provido a wcommand for s surplus general. and mot as is stated by somo eastern jour- nals in the hope that the superior dig- ity it gve the post would enable the war department to detach ablor men of rank to its command. THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN, On national issues this connty is re- publican by from 800 to 1,000 ma- jority. On local issues the margin is very close. Two years ago the county was given over to the demoerats by the folly of the republican convention in deliberatoly insulting a large ele- ment of the party by denying them voice or vote in the” convention through delegates that had olected by an overwhelming majority. Last year the primaries were packed by bummers and political shysters in the interest of corporate monopoly and 1,200 republicans refused to give sanction or countenance to the high handed proceeding. Although several hundred democrats were liberally bought up by the corporation henchmen the outeome was tho defeat of the major part of the so called republican county ticket, Unless the republicans of this coun- ty profit by the leasons of these two campaigns they are doomed to similar disaster this fall. The people of Doug- las county are determined to have honest and competent county officers, and in making cheir choice party ties weigh very lightly upon them. All things being equal republicans will give preference to candidates on the republican ticket but they will insist that primary elcctions shall n-t be packed by repeaters, non-residents and democrats. The preliminary movements of the republican county committee, we are sorry to notice, reem to be de- signed more 1n the interest of cortain political wire pullers who de- sire to represent this county in the atate conve tion than with a view to electing the republican county ticket. The meeting of thecommittee appears tohave been purposely delayed and the least possible publicity has been given to the call for the primarics, In fact very fow republicans outside of the reorganized postal ring with Paul Van- been 24 | deavoort at the head and Tom Hall at Madison .. 670 5| the tail, are aware that the primarics 819 6] have been called. Not content with filling lucrative positions in the public service within the gift of the republican party, theso political birnacles seek to monopolize political honors in conventions, and control the action of the party in the bestowal of local offices. They may succeed in packing the primaries and conventions, but it is safe to predict that their success means inevitable disaster to the republicanticket at the fall election, £ THE GOVERNMENT SURPLUS, While other nations are racking their brains in devising schemes to meet their curent expenditures and pay the interest on their bonded in- debtedness, the United States finds a revenue steadily flowinginto its coffers, which is some cight millions a month more than the ordinary expenditures of the government. This condition of affairs presents a perplexing prob- lem for the solution of the treasury department. We are paying off our debt at the rate of $50,000,000a year, both principal and interest decreas- ing in a rapidly incrensing ratio, Competent financiers state that at the present rate the whole of the extended bonds could be extinguished in ten years and with the increase of revenue faom customs and internal rovenue the whole bonded debt with the exception of the four per cents, which are not payablo until 1907, could be cancelled. There is a goneral feeling that the burden of extinguishing the national debt should not by entirely borne by the present geneastion. Financially, we have done handsomely for poster- ity. Our ‘credit has been placed among the highest; & modorate taxation will bo ample to provide for the expenditures of the govorn- ment, the meoting of its interest obli- gations and a steady decrease of the principal. It is necessary that having mado these provision the country should enquire what effect such a steady drain upon its resources is like- ly to have upon its prosperity. This vast surplus of nearly §100,- 001,000 yearly cannot be allowed to accumulate in the vaults of the treas- ury department, The taking of such a sum from the circulation of the country will in itself inevitably distorb the regular and legiti- mate transaction of the busi- ness community and seriously intorfere with the money market. When the power of the government is put forth to drain the country of money beyond current necossities the whole business world feels the effvct. Two courses only remain open to the socretary of the treasury. Either an equivalent amount of bonds must be purchased or the surplus must be used in the calling in of bonds to the amount on hand. Secretary Windom wisely chose the latter course, and has “called in” $25,000,000 of the ex- tended 3} per cents, thus throw- ing that amount of money into the murket and relieving a stringency which might otherwise have been an- ticipated. Such expedients are how- ever, only tewporary in character. Congress will doubtless be called upon to provide meaus looking to the relief of the people. There will undoubt- edly be a growing demand for a reduc- tion of taxation, direct and indirect. The extremo protectionists are already demanding the abolition of various in- ternal revenue taxes and advocates of hivh direct tax on tobageos and liquors are urging a redacton of the custom dues and a rigid revision of the tariff. The banks are clamoring for the repeal of the taxes on bank capital, on of banks and the stamp tax on checks. The match manufacturers point to the injustics of the tax on matches, and a ants are cryi deposits number of other clai for like relief, Jut with all theso appeals hee the revenue would be but slightly di- minished and the problem unsolved. Measures must be taken to reduce materially the enormous revenuo which is now taken from the earnings of the people, and which can no long- er be justified by the necessities of the government. In our prosperity tho burden is not felt, but it is none the less an inexcusable b arden, —— Noruixa tests the resources of the large journals so muchas an extraord- inary occasion like that through which the country has just passed. A hundred calls are made upon the reservo forces of the establishment which must be promptly and eflicient- ly met in order to furnish the public with the fullest and latest news avail- able. During the past week the rec- ords of the telegraph office show that Tuv Bee has received and prinjed double the amount of press re. port furnished by the Republican and Iferald. In addition to the magnificent report of the National Press it has supplemented its press copy by thousands of words of special telegrams giving graphic and full de- tails of the obsequies of President Garfield. Tts local columns have kept the public informed of every item of public interest occurring in our city and has forced its enterprising con- temporaries to copy, often verbatim, the full and detailed accounts of its city department. That the re- sult of these efforts has been appreciated by a public which refuses to be gulled by stale tele.rams scis- sored from antiquated eastern journals or stolen from the colnmns of Tur BeE, is manifested by the large oders for extra copies of this paper which have come from all portions of the state. On Monday 3,000 extra Bres wera required to supply tlie'demand and this increase proved insufficient. Tue Beg lays no claim to being an ““electric light " of Nebraska journal- ism but it does claim to produce the largest, newiest and most metropolitan journai between the Missouri and the Pacific coast. Tue Omaua Bee would look better and be better if it would carry its present tendency to the extreme, and turn the types as well as the rules the other side up. — fepublican. ‘I'ne Bre has taken no notice of the Republican because such notice during the past few days would have Leen unseemly. It refers that journal to the appended extract from the Chicago Tribune, Certain newspapers which either forgot or were vnable for mechanical reasons to: go into mourning for the dead president, have attucked the whole practioe as a violation of good taste. ~ Information on points of taste will scarcely be looked for in such quarters, It is sufficient to say that Aw custom is almost universal. Every considerable journal in the United States, with one or two exceptions, turned its column rules the morning after the president’s death, The New York Herald and Tribune were in black the sec- ond day after as well as the first, and probably are yet. There 15 no offense to good taste in printing newspapers with black borders which may not be found in draping buildings or putting crape on the door. Everything de- ponds on the spirit m which these things are done. Newspapers that do not feel like it would best abstain from demonstrations of sorrow of any kind. In some instances the public would not be shocked or surprised by the absence of the customary signs of mourning, Tre Nebraska State University is merely & university in name, Tn powt of fact it hardly takes rank with the average third-rate college. The fault is mainly with tne board of regents, They have not exacted the proper standard or edneation in the faculty, and thoy have not enforced proper discipline in the institution. Professional mountebanks have been foisted upon the university as eminent instructors on exact sci- ences, and these imposters have been allowed to roam about the country on lecturing and junketing tours at the expensoe of the state. What the uni- versity needs is more energetic and exacting supervision, and that can only be had by a reorganization of the board of regents. As the domi- nant party the republicans are justly held responsible for the management of our state institutions and the par- ty can only rectify its past blunders by nominating able and energe ic men for the board of rege: — Ir is rumored that District Attor- ney (ieo. Bliss remarked last week to one of his friends that President Ar- thur considers that he has paid Mr Conkling all he ever owed him, and in the future would refuse his dicta- tion. There is much truth in the fist portion of the remark, My, Conkling cortainly owed as much to My, Ar- thur in the control of New York re- publicaus as Mr, Arthur owed to Mr, Conkling on Lis appointment to the HA DA‘\LY BEE: New York collectorship. Fora num- ber of years past Mr. Conkling af- forded no assistance to Mr. Arthur, and the vice president entirely cleared oft old scores hy his fruitless efforts on his behalf at Albany. The coun- try would be greatly relieved if it felt certain that the baneful influence of Mr. Conkling was no more to be felt in national politics, and the new pres- ident has too long felt the vopular pulso not to know the fact and profit accordingly, Tue agricultural bureau has pub- lished a report which adds the potato to the list of deficient crops. It is stated that the principal shortage comes from the western Allegheny slops, southwestern Ohio reporting a complete failure in the staple. From the statistics furnished by the bureau it appears that the potato crop falls fth below that of last year. Tt is singular to note that the same crop is a failure in France, deficient in Ircland, and in other parts of Europe is below the average on Tne political attorney of the Union Pacifio is playing a very deep game just now. While the Union Pacific organ, with a republican brand, is urging the renomination of Judge Maxwell, the political emissaries of the U P. aro scouring the country on the atill hunt for another man whose influence they expect to utilize in the senatorial campaign of 1882, The Mississippi River Convention, New Orteans Democrat, Mayor B, T. Harrod, a member of the Mississippi river convention, re- turned yesterday from St. Lous, where he had been to attend a meet- ing of the commission. He reports favorable progress in the preparation of the plant at Lake Providence and Plum Point, the points on the river which have been selected to begin the system of improvement adopted by the commission and fully explained in the able report submitted to congress lnst year. Several tugs have been procured, eighty barges for transport- ing stone, brush, ete., and four pow- ertul hydraulic pumps to be used in grading the banks so as to prepare them for securing the brush mattresses which will be made precisely similar to those which have given such excel- lent icsults upon the Missouri river. The pumps have a_capacity of two thousand gallons per minute, and this tremendous power will cause the banks to disappear with wonderful rapidity, reducing them to the re- quired grade in short order and great- ly facilitate the work, The brush mattresses are to be made on a very extensive scale, and will be woven together with wire, forming a sort of thick carpet which will effectualiy protect the banks from the erosive action of the current by arresting the sediment and building new and stable banks., The entire plant has been ordered to report at 1ts destination at the earliest practica- ble moment, and early in Cetober, therefore, the great work of improv- ing the Mississippi river, upon the plan of concentrating its waters, as advocated by Captain Eads and his as- sociates on the commission will be practically begun. If the next congress shall evince a proper appreciation of the importance of the river to the Mississippi valley and the country at large, we will soon witness the improvements carried on upon a scale commensurate with the vast interests involved.
