The democrats have osrganized the senate by olecting Jrmes F. Bayard president pro tempore. In the pres ent this is an event of unusual importance Although Mr. Bayard as president of the senate does not enjoy the title or prerogatives of ssident he occupies a position emergency vice-y that places him in direct line of suc cossion o the presidency. The president of the senate has no casting voto like the vice-president in case of a tie vote, but he bhecomes omstitu tional succensor of the vice-president should that ofticer while acting as president of the United States be re- moved from office hy inpeachment become disabled or d In words there is now but one life he tween Mr. Bayard and the presidency. While the ceuntry is conscious that Mr. Bayard is a gentleman eminently fitted to discharge any duty that may devolve upon him, and while there is not a shadow of corruption on his past political record, yot the fact that his political views are radically at yariance with those held by a majority of loyal Americans, his elevation to the presi- dency of the senate becomes almost a menace to the stability of our institu- tions. Nobody will dare impute any design or desire to Mr. Bayard to he- come the successor of President Arthur, and yet the fact that a Demo- crat may be made president by the removal of one man is a most terrible temptation to cranks, who may imagine the salvation of the country depends upon the resumption of national control by the democracy. Impressed with the grave problem that is presented by the election of a democrat to the presidency of the senate while a republican vice-presi- dent occupies the presidential chair, Senator Edmunds made an carnest ef- fort to secure the admission of the New York'and Rhode Island senators before the senate proceeded to the election of its president. In this effort he was seconded by every republican in the scnate as well as by Senator David Davis, who usually votes with the democrats. But the democratic caucus had laid out the program for democratic sena- tors. Mr. Edmund's proposition was voted down by a party vote and Mr. Bayard was duly elected and ir.stalled in the vice presidential chair, As the leader on the republican side Mr. Edmunds entered & most digni- fied and unanswerable protest against the exclusion of the New York and Rhode Island senators, and, as on former occasions, Mr. Edmunds has given proof of his profound knowledge of political history and his masterly ability to dehate constitutional ques- tions, 1In protesting against the course pursued by the democratic ma- jority Mr. Edmunds has also laid the foundation for justifying the course which the republicans intend to pursue when they are in the major- ity next winter. other THURSTON'S CAMPAIGNS. Some of the most disastrous defeats on both sides during the war were due to incompetent leadership. Field offi- cers who were able to handle a batal- lion or a regiment proved complete failures as commanders of a brigade and many excellent brigade command- ers wero utterly unfit to command a division or an army corps. In politics as in war, ability of a much higher order is essential to suc- cess in leading and handling large bodies of men on an extensive field than in conducting a fight on a very limited territory, A politician who can successfully pack and manipulate a ward caucus is not always competent moth memorial sheet in commoemora- tion of the event. Chicago is one of the wonders of the west and the most asingular fact is that her people and newspapers don't know it. Gavrry, the troubadour, touched his guitar iu vain in Saunders county, Our special dispatches announce that the bond proposition for the Lincoln & Fremont railroad was beaten in every precinet in tha county, including Wahoo, The farmems of Saunders county have thus given public notice that no more mortgages will be voted on their farms for the benefit of rail- ‘way conatruction rings. — TeN years ago General Garfield gwrote to a prominent lawyer who had «pposed the insanity plea in a murder wrial: “The whole country owes you @ debt of gratitude tor brushing away the wicked absurdity which has lately ibeen palmed off on the country as law won the subject of insanity. If this 4hing had gone on wmuch further all that & man would need to secure him- self faom the charge of murder would e to gave a little and tear his hair s little, sad then kill his man." —_—— Hauxg has broken out afresh at Annapolis and Admiral Rogers is de- sermined to sift the matter to the bottom and to make an example of the offenders.

A A A 105 g S to organize a state campaign or manage a sectional contest. Nowhere has this fact been more strikingly illustrated than in the po- litical campaigns that have been fought during the past four years in Ne- braska, When John M, Thurston as- sumed command of the political forces PHE OMAHA DAILY BEE: whon he found that his plot was dis- covered he had the foolhardiness to attempt its execution in the face of a vigilant enemy whelming force. Such persistent blundering would demoralize the bravest men, it and Tharston's follow- erswere not togulars fed by the Union Pe ot wuster a corporal's guard for another massed in over could commissary, he campaign, 1= Illinois the state board of equali- ation were not elected and are not controlled by the railway corporations much to the satisfaction of the people, the regret of the monopolies and the profit of the state. At its last session this body of public officers increased the asscssment of railroad property in the state £7,000,000 over the assess ment of last yoar. ' This rate of 14 per cent, and the railroad managers complain that there has been discrimination exercised against them because other property in Illinois has was at the increased only 1 per cent during the same time, The board retorts vory properly that the assessment of 1880 was too low and that in fixing a higher rate it was forced to take into consid- eration the increase not only in new lines and improvements on the old ones but also the handsome percent- age which the companies have carned upon their capital investment. It would be worth $300,000 in the pock- ets of Nebraska tax payors if they had such a board of equalization as that possessed by Illinois. As long as the railroads control political conventions and public officers are not held to a strict accountability for their acts by the poople the burden of maintaining our government will be yearly shifted of the Union Pacific it was expected he would revolutiomze our politics, completely stamp out all opposition to monopoly domination and become the arbiter of the political destiny of every aspirant to office from constable to United States senator. In these ex- pectations Mr. Thurston has sorely dis- appointed his followers and admircrs, With one or two minor exceptions his political leadership has been a series of disgraceful disasters. Three years ago he organized a campaign for Mr, Hayward of Otoe county, whom he promised to sent on the supreme bench. With the party machin- ery. in his hands he selected Omaha as his battle ground but when brought face to face with the opposing forces he capitulated un- conditionally, leaving Mr, Hayward in a sad plight. The senatorial con- test last winter‘aflorded him a splen- did field for displaying his leadership, but like the Austria» general in Ttaly that surrendercd to Napoleon I at Mantua, he allowed the enemy to concentrate whilehe was scattering his forces, and hefore he could pre- pare for retreat, Thurston and his Nance boom were bottled by Van Wyek. Last week Thurston led his follow- ers recklessly into another political slaughter pen. He tried to play Sit- ting Bull on Judge Maxwoil by plan- ning a treacherous ambuscade, and trom the shoulders of wealthy corpra- tions where it belongs to the backs of the people who are .daily taxed to fill the coffers of the monopolies. Tue BEr cannot join those news- papers that have been urging our farmers to hold their grain and corn indefinitely for higher prices. The sustained price of these articles on eastern boards of trade has been large- 1y the result of speculative manipula- tion by Chicago and Cincinnati capi- talists, The ablest judges of the fu- ture of the markets do not believe that the quoted values of two weeks ago can be maintained during the win- ter and the closing out of tha Cincin- nati *‘deal” and the consequent drop in prices goes tar toward sustaining their judgment. It isa good rule to sell on a high market and to buy on a low one. What a high market is can readily be ascertained. Waitivg for top notch prices has often resulted in heavy losses to those who would in the end have made more if they had been contented with obtaining moder- ately remunerative returns for their investment and labor. It is mot probable that the prices of wheat and corn during the winter will fall to anything like the figures of last sesson. The shortage of crops will prevent this. But at the same time it miust not be forgotten that there is a large surplus remaining fromlast year's crop and that the foreign demand will not be as great as was anticipated before harvest time. Omu10 holds her election to-day for state officers. The result will be awaited with interest. No state con- tains a constituency so open to argu- ment and less inclined to hold firm within party ranks when local issues are concerned. In national campaigns, when a full vote is called out, Ohio is republican, but in general, ‘‘off years’ are more ‘‘off” in that state than in any other, The present campaign has been fought to a great extent upon the personal merits of the rival candidates for governor, Foster and Bookwalter. Mr. Foster has in times past been extremoly popular among the ‘‘Buckeyes,” and Mr. Bookwalter has the advantage of a large income and a clear record as a leading manu- facturer and employer of labor, The prosident's death interfered somewhat with the closing of the campaign but is counted upon to draw out a heavier republican vote than if it had occured earlier, Thero seems littlo reason to doubt that the state will give a sub- stantial republican majority in to-day’s elections. Last year the secretary of state received 19,000 over his compet- itor. Such a majority can hardly be looked for this year. BeNAToR Gorpon, of (eorgia, re- signed his seat in Washington lust year with the remark that he could maae $15,000 a year outside uf public oftice. Mr. Gordon is now worth over o million and is said to have made his two brothers and Governor Colquitt worth the same sum, . Since his resig- nation he has organized the Georgia Pacific railroad and sold it to the Richmond and Danville extension company, itself controlled by the Pennsylvania company, for $700,000. He stiil holds the presidency of the Geargia Pacific and with his brothers and Gov. Colquitt holds $1,000,000 of Richmond and Danville extension stock and §2,600,000in the Georgia Pacific. Gordon was given the char- ter of the Georgia Western unbuilt railrond by the Louisville and Nash- ville company, whose counsel he was. This charter gave Gordan the entrance to Atlanta and an outlook westward. Heat once obtained over 100,000 acres of coul land, eranted on condi- R 11, 1881 Mississippi should pass through them. With these privileges the negotiations with the Pennsylvania company were ensy. e Ir is stated that “delicate political considerations” complicate Preiident Arthur's choice of « successor to Jus tice Clifford upon the supromo beneh, Tt is difficulty to see why political considerations should have auy in the selection of a judve of the supremo court, There is a growing feeling in the ranks of both parties that the judiciary should be sepa as far as possible from the distu inflaences of partisan politics. tom has in times past dictated that selections for vacancies in the court of highest resort ghould be made in such a manner as to preserve the political balarco of that hody, but factions within party have never been recog tized in the making of such appoint- ments. The “‘delicate political con- siderations” which complicate Presi dent Arthur’s choice are likely to have no other foundation than the fertile imagination of some hair brained Washington penny-a-liner. —_— TrEY never believe in doing things by halves in Arkansas, The three youthful train robbers who boarded a train on the Iron Mountain railroad on the 22d of September have been captured, tried and sentenced to sev- enty years each in the penitentiary. The people of the entire state consti- tated themselves detectives in the case and were aided by the governor and public officers to the utmost ex- tent of their power. It is unnecessary to say that Missouri’s border ruffians are still at large. Any remarks which 8t. Louis papers may hereafter make at the expense of Arkansas civiliza- tion will fall very flat upon the public ear. place Cus- The Mississlppi River Route. New York Times. Perhaps the most important ques- tion connected with the genoral sub- ject of transportation is that of the great tuture route for carrying grain from the upper Mississippi region to the sea-coast. Our great strength ns an exporting nation lies in our capa- bility for the production of food sup- plies, and the bulk of our surplus for years to come must be drawn from the vast tract drained by the upper trib- utaries of the Mississippi river. In the call of the St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange for a convention to promote the improvement of navigation on that stream and its branchss it is stated that ‘‘within the area of states and territories drained by the Mis- sissippi and its navigable tributaries is produced 90 per cent. of the corn, 73 per cent. of the wheat, 83 per cent. of the oats, 64 per cent. of the tobacco, 77 per cent. of the cotton, and¢ 66 per cont. of the live hogs of the whole coun- try.”! These are the products which make up a very large part of our ex- ports, and the exchange of which for foreign commodities constitutes the bulk of our commerce with other countries. Consequently, the route which these take from the fields of the interor to the sea-coast for shipment abroad will determine the points of activity and of profit in foreign trade. The ports through which they pass will enjoy the benefit of handling and shipping, and will have a strong hold upon the traftic that comes to the country in return. There is no likeli- hood that any one route or any one port will monopolize the business, but that through which it can be carried on to the best advantage will rapidly gain an ascendency over all others, New York owes its present position to the circumstances u} the past. The settlement and development of the western country proceeded (rom this dircetion, and the means of transpor- tation followed the advancing line of population and industry to bring back their surplus products. The Hudson river and- the Erie Canal gave New York a_ water connection with the great lakes, and so with the grain fields of the west, and the great sys- tem of railroads in its Gevelopment spread from this point weetward. During the days of slavery in the South, and those of the war and re- construction, an industrial barrier ran across the country, turning the course of transportation to the east- ward frem the upper Missis- eippi Valley. From these circum- stances the ports of the North Atlan- tic coast, nm‘ New York in particular, have derived great advantages Now, nowever, the sectional barrier is moved, and the region of the Miss sippi valley is so far filled up. that its people no lpnger look back to the eastward for an outlet for their pro- ductions, They are looking for the most economical and profitable route to the sca. They have discovered that the Mississippi river and its tributaries cor tem of transportation by water which has heretofore been very inadequately utilized, and they are inquiring whether it is profitable to send so large a proportion of their bulky commodi- ties to the Atlantic coast by rail or by tortuous;lake, canal, and river routes when the drainage of their own val- leys secks the Gulf through navigable channels. The carnetness with which this in- quiry is pressed is caleulated to rouse those concerned in through lines oi railway, running east and west, those whose nterests are connected with canal communication from the lakes to the sen, and the sea-ports whose prosperity and growth are bound up with the business of sending the pro- ducts of the west to foreign markets, to new exertions for the protection of their own interests, The Mississippi route threatens a formidable rivalry which cannot be regarded with indif- ference. It is the purpose of the convention to urge a liberal national policy of improvement for the Missis- sippi river and its tributaries, where- by all obstacles to navigation may be removed at the expense of the whole country., The Governor of Missouri, in responding to the invitation to aj» g:int delegates to the conver half of the Btate, in what is needed is an appropriation tion that a rosd from Atlanta to the [ which “‘will give us six feet of water from St. Paul to St. Louis, cight feet from St. Lonis to Cairo, and ten fect from Cairo to New Orleans,” with cor- responding improvemant of the Mis sonri and Ohio rivers. This is to he asked for at the national expense, and, considering the political power wiclded by the States whose interests are in volved and the liberal spirit in which the scheme has already been enter tained by Congress, it is not safc to assume that it will not be granted. At all events, there can be little doubt that all needed and practical improve- ment of navigation on these great streams of the West will be sccuredin some way before any years have passed, What will the effect be on the ! | course of trade and the development of the different sea-ports of the coun- try! Some faint suggestion may he obtained from the recent growtl the Mississippi traflic with all the dis- advantages of shoals and obstructions at times of low water. Prior to 1876 the export trade by the Mississppi river route amounted to little. In 1879 it was nearly 500,000 tons, in- cluding over 6,000,000 hushels of grain, and in 1880 over 813,000 tons; meluding more than 15,700,000 bush- els of ‘grain. Th r, from the opening of navigation in February to the 1st of August, the shipments of grain from St. Lonis to New Orleans included nearly 3,500,000 bush- els of wheat and 6,500,000 of corn. A single steamer with a tow of barges has taken on one trip 159, 571 bushels of wheat and 136,544 bush- els of corn, with other freight, making in all over 10,000 tons. It 18 said that it would require 50 trains of 20 cars each to bring the same bulk of mer- candise to New York by rail, and it may be calculated how many canal boats of 240 tons each would be re- quired to take it from the lakes to this city. Another statement made in this connection is that such vast cargoes have been delivered in the elevatorsat New Orleans within the week of de- parture from St. tLouis, and that all the railroads runningeastward from the same point could not deliver a hke amount inamonth. St. Louis already employs in this business eight eleva- tors costing 83,500,000, and having a capacity of 6,700,000 bushels, while ad- ditions are being made with a capacit of over 3,000,000 bushels, Barges al- ready in use are capable of carrying 5,000,M00 bushels per month. Still more signicant is the calculation that in favorable seasons, with good nawi- igation, grain can be carried from St. Louis to New Orleans for 2} cents a bushel, while it costsabout 22 cents to bring it from Chicago to New York. These and other facts demand careful study in all their bearings from those interested in railroads, canals,and for- cign shipping in this part of the coun- try. STATE JOTTINGS.
