England and Wales contributed 15,711 during July and August, and Ireland 10,728, Tt is nsticed that fewer emigrants are leaving Ircland for America than in former years, while other nationalities are crossing the water in increasing number, \) The addition made by this foreign population to the national wealth can- not be estimated accurately, but the average has been computed at £1,000 per immigrant, which would make an addition of six hundred millions to the aggregate wealth of this country during the present year. A much greater proportion of these new-com- ers are strong and ablo-bodied than years ago. The larger share of them are Germans, who come hy no means empty-handed. They are of the description which the German government dislikes to lose, and the path of the American cmigration agents in Germany is not altogether a pleasant one. In spite of the discouragements which are thrown in the way of the depart- ure of their subjects by the home au- thorities, the exodus is more likely to increase than diminish. The bulk of these wealth producers maks their homes in the northern, more especially the mnorthwestern, states. It is claimed that this is large- ly due to the fact that people in changing their habitats cling to their respective lines of latitude. Making for this tendency, there is still very much due to the efforts of the state agents. Wisconsin, Kansas, Minnesota, Towa and other northwestern states have reaped ample returns from paying diligent attention to this source of their prosperity. The operations of state and railway agents commence in the mother country, and continue un- til the immigrant reaches his destina- tion. It has been found that this labor and care yields productive re- turns, and they are consequently systematically sustained.

He was born October 5. 1830. Tae struggle in both political = par- ties in New York is to shake off the bosses.

AxoraEr drop in wheat is recorded on the Chicago board, together with a corresponding dropping of dollars by reckless spaculators, migration, Unlike Kansas, Minne- sota and Towa, our state has failed to make any provisions for- encouraging immigrats, and the last legislaturc refused to vote money enough to print pamphlets embodying the desired in- formation about the resources and ad- vantages of Nebraska, While this paper opposed the appropriation of money for traveling agents, we urged liberal provisions - for advertising through the proper channels, It is to be hoped that the legislature, if an oxtra sossion is held next winter, will rectify their error, and put Nebraska on an equal footing with other north- western states in the effort to secure her share of immigration, Tue conduct of Mrs, Garfield since the tuneral of the late president has brought into still stronger prominence her admirably well balanced character and heroie fortitude.

Secretary Kirkwood's retire ment may put a different complexion on the matter and bring him to the | front as a candidate who would se cure all the anti-Wilson forces, and a suflicient number of others to elect him on the first ballot. —_—— Ounr western exchanges are grestly excited over the numerous railroad surveys now in progress across Color- ado, Utah anc¢ Nevada, all pointing to new transcontinental roads, independ- ont of those now in operation. Both the Denver & Rio Grande and parties ostensibly connected with the Union Pacific are locating lines due east and west, and rumor has it that the fol lowing is the route selected by Jay Gould for an an outlet to the Pacific coast, independent of that by way of Ogden and the Central Pacific. The Denver & South Park road, which has reached a point near Gunnison, will be extended through to the Utah Central. The Salt Lake & Westorn new in process of construction into Novada will be joined at Crystal Springs, Nevada, by another road into San Francisco. It is claimed that this system would shorten the distance to the coast over two hun- dred miles. Ir is high time that the attention of the authorities of Omaha should be directed to the dens and hell-holes which disgrace the Third ward of this city. Scarcely a night elapses that some stranger is not slugged and robbed in this locality, which has long been a stench in the nostrils of every respectable and law-abiding citizen. One of these sinks, a variety theater of the lowest and most disreputable class, should long since have been swept out of existence by the officers of the law. It has no authority for existing, and every consideration of public policy ealls for its prompt sup- pression. Patronized by the vilest elements of our population, and con- ducted by a gang of sharks who prey upon every victim who comes to hand, its record in police annals needs only to be examined in order to afford the strongest arguments for its immediate suppression by the police. THERE seems to bo a disposition at Washington to shelve Secretary Kirk- wood in some obscure office as a sop to the feelings of Towa republicans. The latest proposition looks to placing M. Kirkwood in the chair now occupied by Gen. Fremont as governor of Ari- zoma. There is”no probability of his nccoptance of the position. Such an office will do very well for a broken down politician, but it is no field for the proper exercise of such talents ns Secretary Kirkwood possesses.

The situation l;‘m- sents a rather difficult problem. he local and general business of the New York Central is so great that it can afford to carry freight at rates which wipe out the profits of the other roads, or cause them actual loss. The effort of the other roads has, therefore, been to combine with the New York Cen- tral and keep rates upon a basis w hich will enable them to pay dividends, and the New York Central to make a great deal of money, When the last-named road has broken from the agreement, for any reason, and lowered, the oth- ers, knowing that their only salvation rested in restoring the old order of things, and thinking that if they failed they might as well die for a sheep asa lamb, reduced their own rates below the point at which the New York Cen- tral could comfortably pay its divi- dends. At such times large amounts of trade have been diverted from New York to Philadelphia and Baltimore, and general dissatisfaction has prevail- ed. The effect hus hitherto been what was desired by the loss wealthy corpo- rations. Doubtless Mr. Vanderbilt would have been content tc keep up rates tothe required figures indefinitely, had his road not been threatened with a competing line right along by its side throughout its entire length If rates are sustained, as the managers of the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio and Erie roads desire, the profits of the New York Central will be so great as to invite direct competition in its local and through traffic. The only way that this can be prevented is by ‘;lwing rates so low that there will be ne room for competition, I'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY ( DanT()VBER 5, i8 Juds experience has been tried and not un- wuccessfully, but it will hardly be claimed that the procedent is a good one to follow. The rnleshould rather be to recruit the highest tribunal in the land from among the most eminent judges of the State or lower Fedoral Courts. As to the consideration of years and health, it is an important one. A Justice of the Supreme Court has a laborious position, and to endure long the strain put upon him needs a strong brain in a sound, vigorous body. Frequent changes in the Court are to be deplored, as diminishing its efficiency and making it liable to be loss steady and conserv- ative in its opinions. A model ap- pointment to the supreme bench would be a man of about fifty, in ro- bust health, accustomed to hard work and with an excellent reputation for clearness, breadth, accuracy and judi- cial temper, gained by service upon the bench of one of the state or feder- al courts. We need not gay that he should also be well-grounded in the republican ideas of citizenship and of tho relations of the nation to the states. There are two first-class foreign missions to be filled. The German Mission was made vacant several woeks ago by the return of Mr. White, who resigned to resume his duties at home as president of Cornell Univer- sity. According to a recent dispatch from Vienna, Mr. Phelps has inform- ed Preeident Arthur of his desire to be relieved from the Austrian Mission as soon as his successor can conven- iently be appointed.

The liquor war inSalt Lake City con- two high diplomatic posts, the country expects that President Arthur will go above the grade of the average successful politician who gets into congress by a gift of stump oratory or President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio, contends that Mr. Vanderbilt onght to permit this competing line to be built, and the through freight rates to be kept at a point where all the roads coul‘«’i make money. The people will scarcely sympathize with this view. Mr. Vanderbilt certainly will not. His opponents, therefore, proeeed to cut down rates, and threat- en to divert trade by so doing from Now York to Philadelphia and Balti- more, hoping thus to arouse public sentiment in New York against the conduct of the New York Central. Mr. Vanderbilt tells them to go ahead. It looks very much as if Mr. Van- derbilt was master of the position. A persistence on the part of his oppo- nents will ruin their roads. The Now York Central can starve them out, although it may have to skip some dividends in the operation. Perhaps it may not even have to do that. The other roads are fairly beaten in the competition, and the fear of new com- petition forces the New York Central to keep down prices. The question naturally arises: Shall the immense trafic between New York City and the west be taxed in order to enable certain railroads to pay dividends when other roads can afford to do the business for less money? In other words, is the publicto be denied the natural advantages of business com- petition to save certain railway cor- porations? Mr. Vanderbilt, in his pres- ent stand, will certainly be supported by popular sentiment in general, how- ever much New York City may be frightened at a temporary diversion of trade. The values of all kinds of property are liable to be damaged by competition, and the Eublia, as a rule, is not required to make up the losses of the injured owners. There are mont becomes a political necessity, the people of Towa will sce to it tha the does not starve. Pro¥.

It may be inevitable that the worst- ed roads will have “to content them- selves with what thoy can make out of the situation, Their own local traflic is large, and it is not improba- ble that, taking the actual cost of the roads into consideration, there is still a margin ot profit left for them. If there is not it is their own misfor- tune. It is a healthy indication that Mr. Vanderbilt has so much respect for competition as to adopt the policy of keeping rates within reasonable limits. It is altogether hkely that this influence will not relax. People have got into the habit of improving all the opportunities that exist for building raiiroads in these days, and, a8 we see in the present case, it works well with respect to combinations against the popular pochet. Tmportant Vacancies. New York Tribune. Apart from the reorganization of the cabinet, which some of the newspa- pers hasten to take for granted will soon be made, President Arthur has to fill a number of important posts now vacant or shortly to become so. The country will therefore have an early opportunity to sec with what wisdom he is able to excrcise the ap- guin!'ul@ power. The vacaney on the ench of the supreme court caused by the death of Justice Clifford, of Maine, will doubtless be supplied by an appointment sent in to the ap- proaching extra session of the senate. As the deceased justice was New England's only representative in the court, we may conclude that the appointment will be made from that section, A second vacancy prac- tically exists through the disability of Justice Hunt, of this State, who has not been able to perform his duties for nearly two years, and it is said never expects to be able to resume them, He has not served long enough, how- ever, to take ndvln%e of the rotiring act, gud is naturally disinclinedto give struction ring are concentracting all their influence on Wahoo and Fre. mont.
