In New York city the anti-monopoly movement has been takon up and is being pushoed by many of the merchant princes of the met- icipal power. Tn ropolis. Men like ¥. B. Thunber, Poter Cooper, Henry Nichols and H. B. Clafiin, whose capital aggregates millions ¢ f dollars are spending tine and money in diffusing a knowledge of corpora- tion methods and anti-monopoly prin- ciples. Upon the issue of state or national control of tho railroads, it is ostimated that 60,000 voters could be socured in Now York city alono for a purely anti-monopoly ticket. Local anti-monopoly leagues are being quietly but efficiently organized throughout the state, and supphed with documonts from the headquarters of the leaguo. Papers friendly to the movemeut aro offering the uso of their columns for the publication of matter bearing upon the question of cheap transpor- tation and aiding the cause by vigor- ous discussion of the measures and candidates. For the first time in tho history of New York politics tho anti- monopoly issue has compellod the at- tontion of platform makers, and al- though the party utterances on the question wero neither Joud or pro- nounced still a concession to the rapidly growing minority was wrung from both political conventions. That the railways foar the continued growth of the anti-monopoly sentiment is seen by the labored editorials from the organs of Vanderbilt and Gould against any interference with the ‘yested rights” of the corporations. lLiven the magazines and reviews havo taken up the subject, and have called to a discussion of the question tho ablest writers of the cast. Tn New Jersey the monopolizing by the corporations of the entire water front of the cities of Hoboken and Jersey City, and the total cxemption of their real estate and other prop- erty from local taxativm, is being made an issuo in the canvass for local and state candidatos for offico. Local anti-monopoly leagues have boen formed on the basis of thoso in New. York, whose members are plodged to oppose the election of every candi- date for office who is not known to favor and who will rot if elected work for the principles of anti-monopoly. A number of anti-monopoly candi- dates independent of the nominees en the party tickets have been placed in nomination, and are being vigorously supported. The movement, if less widespread than in New York, isnono tho loss active, or failing in the sup- port of able and respected citizens. In othor states on tho Atlantic sea- board there aro evidences of a stoady growth in the sentiments of anti-monopoly. Wherover the pross has taken up tho discussion of the subjoct it has mado many converts. Andin soctions where railroad influence has beon sulicient to stifle the voice of the people through the public jour- nals, thero aro thousands of voters who have suffered from the extortions and unjust discriminations of tho rail- roads who aro only awaiting time and opportunity to place themselves on record as opposod to further licenso on the part of corporate monopolies. The methods adopted by the Anti- Monopoly Loague have thus far been marked by wisdom and gresg admin. istrative ability. One of the greatest onds already accomplished by the or- ganization has been the clevation of the antl-monopoly question in tho east $0 & square issue between the people and the corporations. Tho railroad wreckers have ceased calling the anti-monopolists ‘‘communists,” and are forced into a defensive atti- tude while their political and business methods aro exposed for pnblic in- spection and discussion, ' Tt is o source of gratification to those in the weat who for ycars have been fighting the battle for anfi-monopoly againat heavy odds to witness the growth of the principles which they haue so long advocated. Tt, is still moro a source of gratification to feel that the conduct of the anti-monopoly cause in other sections is in the hands of able and experienced leaders whose wealth disarms bribery and whose position defies abuse. Tho western producers have claspod hands with castern consumers in their battle for the rights of the people and before many years lhave elapsed they will seo the result ip e wave of semtiment which will swoop the countr from the Atlantic to tho Pacific, and which will assure to every American producer and ship- por low tanfls and undiseriminating wervice on the part of the railronds under the supervision of the repre- sentative of the people.

Doug- Jas county has never had a county su- perintendent of achools who has dis played greater ability in the discharge of his dutics or whose work has been more satisfactory to our people. Pro- fessor Points’ popularity is the result of merit and he ought to be hand- somely endorsed at the polls an next Tuosday. Every voter in Douglas county who las the intorest of the county achools at heart should cast his ballot for Professor Points. — 8r Lours is about to wrestlo with tho telegraph pole nuisance. Streng pressuro is boing brought to bear upon the city council to prohibit any fur- ther defacement of the streots by the unsightly poles which atretch along every thoroughfare. It is found, as in other cities, that in cases of fire the long lines of wiro a serious obatruc- tion to the free operation of the fire department. Chicago has already taken steps to prevent the stringing of telegraph or telephone wires above ground, with tho result of forcing the companies to experinent with the un- derground system of telography with aview to its early adoption. Tho question will sooner or later force itsolf upon all the large cities of the country. No nation in the world grants valuable franchises which in- convenience the public to the extent done in our own country. Assoon it is satisfactorily demonstrated that undorground tolegraphy is practicable, just so soon should our cities be re- lieved of the defacement of the net- work of wires and the unsightly poles which now disfigure our streets. Ar the coming election in Wiscon- sin four constitutional amendments will be submitted to the people for their ratification. A question having arison as to the method in which they shall be voted upon, the attorney- general has decided that the four must be voted for or against asa wholo by each voter. This decision is creating great surprise in the Badger state, as it is in the face of a plain provision in article 12 of the constitution, which states that “if more than one amend- ment be submitted, they shall be sub- mitted in such a manner that the peo- plo may vote for or against such amendments separately.” The attor- ney-general scems to have some origi- 1ial ideas on the subject, and baseshis decision upon a provious precedent. 1t is now a question whether the re- sult of the clection will not be disputed, and the caso carried to the supreme court on tho ground of vio lation of the constitutional provision. — Tue Heralds attack upon Judge Kinney is as malicious as it is uncalled for. The intimation that Judge Kin- noy is recéiving pay for the dignified and manly address of welcomo he de- livered at the reception tendered General Van Wyck by his friends and neighbors at Nobraska City after his eloction to the senato is to say the least decidedly indecent. It will be romombered that Judge Kinney had beon honored by the support of the democrats in the legislature for the position to which General Van Wyck was elected and 1t was emiuently propor that the senti- ment of local pride and heartfelt grati- fication over Goneral Van Whyck's olevation should find generous expres- sion through Judge Kinney. To ascribo morcenary motives to him for such a tribute is simply beneath con- tempt. Mgr, Josgrux McCOamueN, of Ponnsylyania, assistant attorney gen- eral of fi:n United States, has beon appointed to the important position of commissioner of railroads, made va- cant some months ago by the sum- mary dismissal of Theophilus Fronch The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial ropresents the now commissioner as & man without fear and without reproach, Tt is to be hoped he is also a man whom the Pacific railroads cannot buy, the right and in fact the duty of every conscientious voter to scrateh the names of notoriously incompetent or dishonest candidates ; but the re- publicans of this city and county can't better themselves this year by seratching their ticket and substitut- ing democratic candidates, Onpis. Harraay is about the only man on the democratic ticket in whose election Dr. Miller takes a deep interest, and that fact is in itself an oxcellent reason why John Rush should receive the gencral support of our citizens, irrespective of party. P Trr lack of financial success which has attended the Atlanta exhibition is aid to bo principally owing to the high rates of fare charged by the rail- roads, which have prevented a genorsl attendance of the people of the gouth. S Last, but by no means least, in im- portance, is the office John G. Jabobs has made an accepta- ble officer, and there is no doubt he of coroner. will o re-clected by a handsome ma- jority. ———e Tarx clerk of Douglas county should bo a man of responsibility, For that reason John Baumer will be our next county clerk.

Laxcorx, November 1, 1881, To Iiis Excellency, Albinus Nance, Govornor of Nebraska: Sir:—I have been instructed by your delegation to the Mississippt Yiver convention lately held at St. Louis, Mo., to_inform you of the re- sults to their labors, and in accord- ance therewith I ghave the honor to submit the following: 1t was apparent to your delegation previous to their departure for St. Louis, that influences were at work to contine the subject matter of the con- vention to the improvement of the Mississippi alone, and particularly to that portion of the river situated south of St. Louis; and we soon discovered after our arrival there that we were notfmis'aken in the premises. Hence your delegation, sir, at once resolved to Work earnestly and dilligently to sub- due the sectional and local selfishness, which was endangering 8 work as na- tional in its character as vastand grand in its magnitude. We consult- ed with such delegates as were, like ourselves, representatives of states Bit- uated in the Missouri valley proper, and found no difficulty in securing their valuable assistance. Their bat- tlo was our battle. But owing to the many states represenjed the numbers were against us, and it required dis- creet and dilligent work on the port of every member of your delegation and of sheir friends and allies to se- cure a just recognition of the Missouri river; and I have reason to congratu- late yeur excellency, aud through you tho peeple of Nebraska, over the fact that our labors were not in vai The act of July. '79, organizing what is known as the Mississippl River commission, in its first section provides for the surveys of ‘‘the Mis- sissippi river and its navigable tribu- taries,” while section four of the same act provides for the expenditures of moneys on the improvement of the Mississippi slone, ‘‘not on the im- provement of its navigable tributa- ries,” and this was the mistako of the congressional dalc%ations representing tho Missouri valley proper, in the Forty-sixth congress, or, if you please, their gross negligence; for there would have been no difficulty in the least in adding the words ‘‘and its navigable tributarics,” to the word ¢‘Mississippi,” in tho fourth section— at loast the records show no efforts in that direction. The commission gave us more trouble than all else. Of course, if it had been impos- sible to improve the Missouri, because of scieutific reasons, be- fore the improvements on the Mississippi below St. Charles were completed, there would have been an excuse; but such engneers ashave boon charged with tho surveys of these rivers by the war department do not assert such a thing, and no man in the convention was bold enough to clain that such was the caso Theim - provement of the Mississippi alone is of such vast magnitude and of such great importance to the peoplo of the wost that wo would have sacrificed our sectional pride to the common good if it had been demonstratedto us that our position was endangering the and work. But this is not being one—simply becauso it could not bs done—wo deemed it our duty to fight for equal privileges with the Missis- sippi, thus hoping to sccuro a speedier completion of the great work in eon- templation. The Nebracka delegation has been moreoverinstrumental ~indeed it orig- inated with it—in the tuking of such stops as will, ;n tho ncar future, ro- sult in a Missouri river commission, provided our delegation in congress farn does not succeed in amending the vct ot July, 1879, as above suggested; and for that roason a comvention of tho Missouri river states and territo- ries will be called at Kansas CityMo., before congross meets, To this con- vention your excellency will be in- vited to send a delegation, by the committee which has the matter in charge. Considering the fact that Major Sutor, of the United States engineors, who has completed his survoy of the Missouri river in accordance with in- structions from the war department, np‘i.mximnmd such improvements, with a depth of twelve feet from St, Charles to Sioux City, at & cost of eight mil- lians of dollars, it seems strange, in view of tho magnificent resuits that would derive from such an undertak- ing, that we should find any trouble at all in sceuring the necessary uppro- priations to commence the works dur- ing the year 1882, so that by 1885 sand bars, snags and changing chan- nels will have made room for a splen- did stream of water, at no place loss than one thousand teet wide, and at every placo and for all time twelve foot “deep. Major Sutor's report is very comprehonsive on this subjeot. The press of Nebraska should, with untiring energy and unrelenting dovo- tion to the cause of cheap transporta- tion, use its best endeayors in creating such a public opinion as will be para- mount to all else. By so doing the press would do its duty and only il duty to the p«-u{:le. 1t was desirable that the possibili- ties of the Mississippi should bo dem- onstrated to the convention, and for that purpose an excursion on the river upon a steam tug and its barges —five in number—was decided upon. Some twenty-five hundred people, including the delogates and their friends, wero on board, and a_flying trip was made down the river about twelve miles and return, On the return trip the steam tug and it barges had to face the mighty current, but bravely was the work done, at the rate of about six miles an hour, The barges and the steamer have a capacity of 10,000 tons, or 1,000 railroad cars of ten t each; and considering this immense amount of freight, one may well be surprised at the grand possibi i- ties of these western waterw We wero informed that fifteen hundroed dollars will cover the expense of the trip from St. Louis to New Or- leans, or one dollar and one-half per railroad car, To-day, sir, to reach the tide waters of the Atlantic by rai’, we pay all the way from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars per car. lsnot tho question of cheap transportation solved when the tide waters of the Atlantic are reached for one dollar and one-half per car, or fifteen conts per ton? I daro say it is. Such are the possibilities of the Mis- sissippi, and the Missouri has tho samo possibilitics. This is o short synopsis of what your delegation has done, and what it has seen. Your Excellency will at some futuro day receive from the ent of the board of trade of St. s a printed pamphlet containing tie complete proceedings of the Mis- sissippiriver improvement conven- tion. To this report I append a copy of the resolutions passed by the con- vontion, and I respectfully call your attention to them, pnrlicu{afly to res- olution No. 4, the one that embodies tmonths since the railrond reached Cham- berlain.

I'hul]m, sir, that you will bo satisfied with the work of your delegation, and in the behalf of my colleagues, as well as in my own behalf, I _tender o mokt respectful thanks for the |l onor you have conferred upon them and me by entrusting us with the task of taking care of Nobraska's in- terests at St. Louis. Allow me to express the hope that the chief execu- tivo of Nebraska will call the atten- tion of our delegation in con- gress to this report, 8o that they may fully understand the rituation and finish that which your delogation has commenced. It is cheap transporta- tion that our people want, and the way to mecure it is through the improve- ment of our water highways.

Henty S, Laue, of Indiana, had few superiors s an orator, Gov, Grimes, of Towa, was as pure a man as ever entered pub- lic fe. Collamer, of Vermont, was remark:ble for ingenuity in de- Date. Authony never gave offense, and was highly successful. Bucka- low, of Ponnsylvania, was a_debater of rare force, and produced during the stress of his senatorial duties the ablest book that has been written on minority representation. Cowan, of the same state, nlways came into @ discussion at the height of the contro- versy, and was able to maintain him- self against great odds. Garret Da- vis was the most fearless debater he ever saw, but not always consider- ate. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, was the finest orator. Iesseuden, of Maine, was the ablest sevator his state has ever produced. He never left a point unanswered, and was the readiest man in the body. John P.
