Itis understood in Washington that Presi- dent Arthur is entirely satisfied with the faithful and eflicient® services of Secretary Kirkwood, and has inti- mated as much to the lowa delegation who waited upon him recently in reference to the subject. Mr Sar- gent's land-grabbing operations ought to act as a sufficient bar to his ap- pointment to any poaition of profit or trust under the government. SeNaTor Puaw has drafted a bill whose object is to relieve the supreme court by dividing it into three divi- sions to be known respectively as the federal, equity and admiralty, and law division, which shall be em powered to sit separately in heavy oases. This plan will treble the ca- pacity of the court for disposing of business, In order to make these divisions effective for work, the total number of judges on the bench ought tobe at least doubled. Something ought to be at once done to increase the working capacity of the supremo oourt, Apvices from Washington indicate that the pending apporiionment bill fixing the total number of representa- tives at 220 will probably be defeated “n the house, and that a smaller num- ber will probably be agreed upon. ‘There is a good deal of local and party figuring on this subject, each partyand state delegation favoring a number which will give it some slight adva tage in representatiun; and there is danger that in this war of interest the passage of any apportionment bill THE PAVING QUESTION. Omaha is substantially interestedin the speedy passage of an apportion- ment bill by congress, Such action will necessitato the immediateconven- ing of our state legislature by Gov- ornor Nance in order to redistrict Ne- braska in acqordance with the repre- sentation decid.d upon by congress. At this session important amendments to our oity charter will be introduced, whose object will be to furnish means to Omaha whereby she may enter up- on such public improvements as are requited by her present necossities, and her future growth and develop- ment. Chief among these is the pav- ing problem. Our citizens are substan- tially agreed as to the immediate necessity of putting the atreets of this The ‘press 13 unanimous in its demands for city in a passable condition. a speedy paving of tho business thor oughfares of At the last meeting of the board of trade a com- mitteo was appointed to draft, with the concurrence of the Douglas coun- ty delegation, such amendments to the city charter as would be necessary to attain this object, and it is under- stood that our levislative representa- tives will readily concur with the wishes of the tax payers of the city on the question. Until a decision is reached upon the best method for raising funds for the paving of our streets all discusston upon materials is somewhat prema- ture. There is, however, among our citizens a growing feeling in favor of using only the best and most durable materials forstreet paving, Our prin- cipal business streets must be paved with Belgian block and the side streets with such materials as combine economy with durabiity and easy displacement for the purpose of mak- ing water and gas connections and re- pairs. Cheapness must bo considered in relation to continued wear and fu- ture repairs. That pavement will be found the cheapest for our tax payers which, although costing more to lay down at the outset, will require less expenditure in maintenance, And this view is held by our most thought- ful citizens and heaviest tax payers. Omaha. OUR CONSULAR SYSTEM. Tt will be a gratification for Ameri- ans to learn that a number of their oreign consuls have romething to do eside cocking their feet on their offi- cial desks and collecting fees. Mr. Burroughs of Michigan has recently made a report to the house of repre- sontatives upon the consular system, Regarding the duties of consular offi- cera ho says that the consul is required to know the real market value of all articles of merchandise exported from his consular district, and to see that such valuus are stated in each invoice ocertified by him. As most of our duties are of the ad-valorem sort, it is easy to soe that 1f the consul secures a true statement as to the market value of the goods at the time of the shipment the task of the' customs officials is very light indeed, and the revenues of the country are fully pro- tected; but should the consul fail to require a true statement as to the cost of the goods, and the merchan- dise be undervalued, the loss of the government revenues would be very great. The consul also A LIBERAL OFFER: For the past two years the publish- ors of this papbr have given to the subscribers of Tne WeekLy Bee the best line of premiums as inducements to subscription which have ever been offered by any newspaper in the coun- try. The plan has proved a success. It has given universal satistaction to the patrons of the paper, and has in- creased the subscription list to s de greo far above the expeotations of its publishers, Many patrons of Tur Damy Bee have asked why we do not offer them the same inducements held out to sub- scribers of Tue WeekLy Bee, Inre sponse to the inquiry we make the following offer: Each subscriber to Tuk Datry Ber who pays his arrears of subscription remits pre-pay- months and every new and ment for six subscriber who remits pre-payment for six months will be entitled to one of the premiums mentioned in our list. tributed in the same impartial manner which marked our first and seconddis- tributions, This scheme was first collect subscriptions in arrears from patrons of the Weekly B, Its suc- ceas exceeded our expectations, We have now no back collections on our weekly edition, bave established the prepsyment system, quadrupled our circulation and correspondingly en- hanced the value of our advertising space. A number of subscribers to the Daily Bee are now in arrears, and if by an extension of the same plan we can induce them to pay the amount due us, we can well afford to make this liberal offer, By this means we hope to still further increase the large list of the Daily Bek, and Raving es- tablished the prepayment system we propose to maintain it, as we are doing with our Weekly edition. To those who are nut famliar with our plan of distribution or the manner in which the premums are secured by us we append, on our gev- enth page, the explanation made to our Weekly subscribers, which ap- plies equally to the subscribers of the Daily Bee. ) ‘I'wo years ago the publishers of The Bee devised a scheme for collacting back pay from dclinguent subscribers, securing renewals and extending the circulation of this paper by a distri- bution of valuabls premiums., The success of that experiment, both in the collection of back pay aud increase of prepaid subscribers was 80 encour- aging that the publishers ventured upon the same sy stem of premium dis- tributions on a more extensive scale last year. It was demonstrated that we could better afford to distribute the money usually puid to agents, local collectors and attorneys, directly to our patrous by offering them extra ordinary inducements to square ac- counts and prepay for another year. By this method we have succeeded in two years in quadrupling the circula- tion of TueE WekkLY Bek and extend- ing its iofluence far beyond the boundaries of this state, During the ficst yesr only a portion of the arcicles distributed were pro- cured in exchange for advertising. When the marked increase in circula- tion became known to merchants and manufacturers last year they willingly placed their machinery and merchan- dise at our disposal in paying for ad- vertising. That enabled us to do | what seemed incredible —namely, fur- nish a malropulimnA weekly for two doilars a year and give our subsciibers premiums that aggregated in value These premiums will bo dis devised to has the care and protection of American seamen abroad, in adjust- ment of all disputes between masters and men; the honest sottloment of the sailors’ accounts with the ship; the collection ot extra wages when the seaman is encitled to a discharge; the relief of distressed seamen; the care of such as require medical rolief; the sending to United States ports of such destitute scamen as cannot ship in a foreign port; the caro of wrecked property of United States citizons; the release of vessols where unjust fines have been imposed (amounting often to very large sums-—hundreds of thousands of dollars—but reduced thraugh the faithful and efficient con- may be greatly delayed if not entirely defeated. The exact number of mem- bers is not a matter of any couse- quence to the country, but it is of wvital importance that congress shall adopt some appor. ‘nment bill at the earliest possible moment, so that the state legislatures now in session can #et to work on the redistricting buainess early in the spring. THAT veteran jourr;dht, James ‘Watson Webb, made & speech on his eightieth birthday in which he ex- pressed the following sensible views upon the modern newspaper; * “The great want, in my opinion, at the present day, i 8 jolyll‘llll which be perfectly independent upon all questions in which party principles are not involved, and whiu‘ the editor ahall be strictly responsible for every- th that appears in its columns. ‘We have no such r in existence to-dsy. During my time the editor and his paper were so identified that it was impossible to separate the twa, and consequently the oditor was held atriotly rulnm':fi le for everything that appeared in per. Now, news- pponmm‘de g be sold. In my ime the paper had its subscribers. Now, while the rs of to-day pub- lish flfl«y copies p:mxe those of the former period did one, they do not exert one-half the moral influence. In my day the editor of every paper wasknown, and was held personally responsible for what he printed. That them cantious what they There was . never a stronger Efiy paper in Amwerica than ‘the urier and Enguinr, and yet it was always bolting." his own premises, an ; sheep mifi'u- wuau o:ou?{.lufil % ot sular action to a fow thousand dollars onch year); the care of estates of citi- zens dying abroad; the authentication of eignatures to legal papers of all kinds, and the execution of commis- sions issued by our courts, federal and state. These duties were required by Scc- rotary Evarts, who demanded of each consul a regular official report of the trade relations between the United States and the county to which he was accredited, The reports, as pub- lished in the guvernment blue books, have been commented upon from time to time in Tum Brr, They have proved highly important in stimula- ting American enterprise in new fields and directing home capital to profit- able foreign investment. The estimates for the support of our consular servico for the ensuing fiscal year is plwugl at $1,326,000. Among the items of increase are the following: Minister to Liberia, from $4,000 to £5,000; contingent of all missions, 85,000; consul.general at Cairo, £1,600; consuls-general at Vienna, Rome, Constantinople and 8t, Peters- burg (they to not as secretaries of legation),” $3,000; consul at Apia, raised from class b to class ,000; consul at Smyrna, from class b to class 4, 8600; Roumania and Servia and Greeco, 81,500; consul at Milan (new) $1,600; clerks at consulates, 87,000; interpreters at cortain eonsulates, $1,600; consul at Cabogm (new), $1,000; consul at Christianta (now), 1,000; consul generalat Copenhagen, fom cluss 6 to act as secretary of lega- tion for Norway, Bweden and Den- mark (increase), $1,000. The total pet increase is §1 $20,000. And yet it was a paying in- vestment for us, and gave general satisfaction to our patrons. ‘What grew out of a desire to collect back pay has developed into a new and practical idea. We have discov- ered that we can afford to make our subscribers sharers in the income of the ‘aner from advertising. In other words we can atford to divide the ad- vertising patronage of the paper with its subscribers, inasmuch as the income from advertising grows with the in- creased circulation, Advertising spuce in Tre Bk that was worth one hun. dred dollars five years ago will com- madd one thousand dollars to-day. This fall more goods and machinery have been offered us in exchange for advertising than we could aceept in view of the lnmted space we devote for that purpose. What we have con- tracted for makes the grandest and most varied list that has ever been oftored for distribution by any news- p-{mr and that too without paying s dollar in moaey. The only outlay in cash we expect to mcur in connection with these premiums will be for post- ago and expressage. This explains exactly how we procure our premiums and why we can give away property of 80 much value, All the premiums in our list are worth at retail just what we represent thew, In contracting with manufac- turers and wholesalo dealers we ac- oopt them only &t wholesale rates, but that does not lessen their value to those who receive them. ‘I'ug BEE has for years stood in the Iront rank of newspypers west of the Mississippi, and to-day circulates more extensively thau an; r west of Chicago and north of Et. uis, A large number of eastern people who desire to procure a far western paper, with a view.of acquiring reliable an- formation about the resources and de- velopment of the country west of the Missouri will doubtless avail them- selves of the opportunity now offered them. Having for more than ten years been under one man- lg»mfill‘ pursuin L) course that has established for it public con- fidence at home and a wide m»uutiuu abroad, Tae Beg could not ord to engage in any underlaking that was not eonducted fairly and hon- ostly, The dstribution in 1880 and 1881 gave general satisfaction to our subscribers, The coming distribution will be made in the same impartial manner, by a committee whom the subscribers present may seleoy from their own number, and in such wan- ner as they think fair and equitable. Last year all the premiums gave good ings which were not appreciated. This eAT N0 engravings, maps or pictures ave been placed among the premi- ums, Our old patrons need no assurance from us of the reliability and stability of Tue Beg, nordo we need to inform them that the principles it adyoeates, and the fearless defense it makes in behalf of the producers, makes it al most indispensible to the industrial classes of the great west. No intelligent person wou'd expect that cvery subscriber will receive a $650 threshing machine, a £500 piano, a 8300 harvester, or a §150 organ, but all have an equal chance in the disiribution Each subecriber that pays vp his ar- rears and [n‘-'{nys another year, and every new subscriber that remits pre payment for one year, will receive a premium worth at least One Dollar at rotail. As a matter of fact, THe Owiana WeekLy Ber is worth the subscription price, Two Dollars a year, to every farmer, mcchanic or merchant. Without boasting, we as- sert that no weekly paper, ecast or west, can compare with it in variety and chuice selections, general nows, interesting correspondence, and no other paper in America contains as much far western news, ranging from the Pacific coast to the Mississippi river. With the proof of good faith and honest dealing before them in the numerous acknowledgments we pub- lish, we can safely enter upon our en- larged undertaking ot this year, con- fidently believing that its success will be mutually satisfactory and advan- tageous, K.

P The weather is lovely. Tarmers are preparing to sow wheat if the good weather lasts a fow days longer. The principal subject of conversa- tion for the past few days is our pros- pects for anothor railroad. Opinions differ as to what road would be of the moat use to Wahoo, some favoring the B. & M., some the Northwestern and some the Wabash. We say, let us have anything that will give us competition. About fifty of the leading farmers of this counsy met in consuliation last Saturday on the subject of agricultu- ral fairs in general, and one for Saunders county in particular. The feeling scemed to be almost unani- mous in favor of a fair next fall, and the meeting was adjourned to the first Saturday in March, After the close of the agricultural meeting the sub. ject of farmers’ alliance was talked up and remarks made by Wm. Fletcher, T. L. Adams, W. D. McCord, B. R. B. Weber, aud others, and upon a vote being taken it was unanimously ustry and abrorb the profits of pro-| ductive labor. |} {1f the past may be accepted as a fair index of what is to come, it will be but a few years at farthest before railrond monopolists will dictate the lawa and control alike the legislative, judicial and executive departments of the government, own the territory, n « fetter the working classes with the shackles of peonage. Already some of these corporations closely ap. proximate that measure of power, and unless their arrogance is signally re- buked, their aggressiveness choaked, and they are forced to deal justly and respect the rights of the people, the existing form of government will col- lapse, and on its ruins will be reared an oligarchy of wealth. But the anti-monopoly spirit is now waining strength every day, It has a roady become strong and determined enough to refuse longer to be bound by party lines in the choice of officials or representatives, state or national. No known friends of monopoly will in the future stand a ghost of a show for election to any position by popular vote, whother he be a republican or democrat. *‘Anti-monopoly” has be- come the watchword of the masses of this state, and if they are true to their convictions and compel the nomina- tion of proper men by both parties the great railroad monopuly may sooner than anticipated pxperience the weight and force on the indigna- tion and antagonism that its own avarice and arrogance have aroused. Monopolies and the Farmers. Palls City News. No class of toilers have been so thoroughly ground down beneath the wheel of monopolies as the farmers. They produce allthe grain and cereals which farnish the food for the people of two continents, and their reward is a scant existence. They toil early and late, in seasons and out of sea- sons, and having aided nature to pro- duce 9 heavy yield, they are forced to reach a market, with the only alterna- tive left of turning their crops into fuel or feeding them to their cattle or swine. In Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri, where rature has been lavished in rich soil and fruitful climate, the agricultural classes rarely grow wealthy. They own and labor industriously to make remunerative their vast tarms, and each year’s returns to the agricultural bureaus show a steady increase in acreage planted and crop produced; and yet the farmers do not grow wealthy. In all other branches of trads and industry increased business invariabl, brings enhanced frofits, while the farmers alone fall back in the possession of earthly goodsas their crops increase. ‘the problem how to remedy these existing evils has not yet been solved by the farmers, al.hough many expe- dients have been resorted to. Farm- ers’ Alliances and granges have been started, and in a fow districts they have held the balance of power and succeed in electing a stray congress man and a few members of the state legislature. They heard the watterings of the coming storm and thusprepared for a stormy day. They fouud that by a combination of interests, a pooling of earnitAs and a mutual agreement to establish uniform rules of transporta- tion, all the profits of production decided to organize a society of this character, and the méeting was ad- fourned to Saturday next for that «s- pecial purpose. TuE Bek seems to be a favorite pa- per among the farmers. AYRES. Harlam County Coal Alma Herald, In our last issue we mentioned the report that Mr. Conklin had found geuuine coal in nis shaft south of town., Wesaw some of the speci- mens since, which verified the report, and they seemed to be a part of the formation comprising the roof or cov- ering of a large doposit of superior coal. The specimens seen by us were composed of a mass of iron and silver ore and quicksilver, mixed with rub- bish formed of thorns, leaves, twigs, etc. Some of the thorns were from an inch to an inchand a half in length and were perfect in their natural form, and were transformed into hard, bright and shining coal of the very finest quality, all of which is strongly impregnated with coal oil gas, which becomes stronger as they go deeper Their rude convenieuces only allow them to dig about 18 inches per day, but at this slow rate betjer indications are plainly discerable as they progress Tt is proposed to form a joint stock company at this place with capital suflicient to prove whether or not it will become a paying mine. . ‘The Anti~M; . 8.

They read with eagerness the rapid ad- vance in the price of wkeat and pro- visions at commercial centers; but when they sought to take advantage of the good times, monopolies stepped in, and by extortionate ?reiqht tariffs, outrageous elevator charges and other handling expenses, the farmers saw a slight margin of profit’ for an entire year of hard work. These facts have been pressed home upon the producers of the soil until the question arises, How can they cast off the shackles whieh bind them to a life of poverty? The times, however, are ripe for a change, and the agricultural classes. by cutting loose from hide bound alliances, and throwing the weight ot their support with the ant-imonopoly movement, can secure such legislation, both national and’ state, as well as secure immunity from corporation abuses and make farms productive nstead of becoming mere homes of drudgery. The only safety for ag- ricultural, mechanical and industrial classes is to move forward with the anti-monopoly forces, headed by Tam- many hall, and while guaranteeing to corporations all their just rights un- der the law, hold them to a strict ac- countability, and compel them to ao- cord tu the people all the privileges of which they have been robbed. Froight Rates Compared. But'er County Press. The Stato Journal and other state papers are in the habit of trying to make business men and farmers of Nebraska believe that rates on rail- roads are lighter in Nebraska than in states farther east. In that connec- tion let us examine o fow figures: It costs to ship wheat from Council Bluffs to Chicago (400 miles) 22 cents, or 4 2:D cents per 100 miles. { It costs to ship from David City to Council Bluffs (100 miles) 15 ceuts, or nearly three times as much, Every other article is in the same propor- tion, and until very rocently the Towa pool lines were only charging 19 cents law abiding character of the people of California as & whole. To raise a how] of agrarianism when the indus- trial ory out and protest against fraud and oppression is an artful and wicked misrepresentation of the true state of public sertiment, resorted to by cun- ning, hoartless monopolists, with a view of breaking the forcs of honest popular appeals in behalf of justice and common honesty. No better proof is needed of the patience and law-abiding character of the great masses of the people than the fact that from month to month and year to year they have seen and folt monopolies of every conceivable kind and complexion ‘reaching out and coiling around the varied indus- tries of the land, and borne the hardly endurable afflictions in peace aud without a sigu of open revolt.
