The announcement is made on what is regarded as good authority that President Arthur has decided to ap- point Henry M. Teller secretary of the interior. This choice, we are told by the agenc of the associated press, ‘was made—first, because Mr, Teller ‘has been a warm supporter of Conk- ling with two presidents.” Ho voted against Merrit's confirmation when Arthur was removed from the New York ocustom house by Hayes, and he also voted against Robertsor®s .cunfirmation last spring. Second—Because the president de- sires to place a Pacifi ccoast man at the head of the interior department, and +Oolorado being identified in interest 'with the Panific coast, would render Teller an avilable man. Lastly, Because Teller's appoint- ment will be favorably received by the great railroad interests of the west, particularly the Union and Kan- sas Pacific. This statement places President Ar- thur'in a very discreditablo’ light _be- fore the American people. ~ Nobody will dare question Presi- dent Arthur's right to fill his cabinet with men that are in_perfect accord arith him ob all political issues, Nobody can justly find fault with i Tor giving recognition to the aco- tion west of the Missouri in his cabi- net, But the country will view the choice of Mr. Teller in the interest of the railroads with grave concern. Prosident Arthur knows enough to know that the interests of the great railroads and especially of the Union T Kansas Pacific must clash with the interests of the United States, Presi- dent Arthur knows that the control of the interior depart- wment by theso giant monopolics with their immense land giants would jepordize the interests of the people of the United Statcs, Prosi- ‘dont” Arthur ought” {0, kuow that Wenry M. Teiler, wio for years las been the Colofado sttorney for the Union Pacific, would be a very unsafe man for the section of which he is chosen as special representative. In- stead of gratifying the paople west of the Missouri, whether on this side of the Rockies or on the Pacific coast, the appointment of Teller would be resonted as an outrage. This man Toller was foisted on the people of Colorado as Senator by the railroad inflaence, but the railroads know that he can never be re elected, W, wRE, His career in the senateShas been that of & patronage broker, jobber and railroad capper. If Sargent was objectionable on account of his rec- ord, Teller is _more objectionable, The constitution requires the presi- dent to advise with the senate in making appointments, but the consti- tution does not require, nor even con- template, that he should consult the railroad corporations in choosing his cabinet. If the railroads are to dio- tate who should sit in his cabinet they may as well dictate the decisions of our supreme court. Five states will hold elections dur- ing the coming spring and summer, The first election of the year will take place in Rhode Island on the first Wednesday in April.

For domestic purposes the light seems to have made little more head- way.

During the sad bereavement which fell on the family of the minister of the First German Evangelical Luther- an church, on Jackson, near Twelfth street, the Sunday service as well as the school of that congregation has been suspended, nearly ever since the appearance of the small pox in Oma- ha, the family of the munister being serious sufferers by this plague. On the first Sunday in March the owner of the green house on Six- teenth, north of the bridge, volun- tarily oftered the use of his spacious flurl{ hall for the use of the worship- ers, and every Sunday there has been service there under palms and trop- ical plants, Once the service has been conducted by Rev.

The Railrond Problem. San Prancssco Chronicle. The railroad problem promises to become as serious a one and as diffi- cult of solution during the decade from 1880 to 1890 as the question of African slavery was to the statesmen of 1850 and 1860. No plan yet pro- posed for placing these great and growing corporations under the law is without its weak and objectionable points when practical enforcement is attempted. The only headway made against them has been in such state consitutional provisions as prohibit the states and counties from voting them subsidies, supplemented by a EOXUI” pressure upon congress which ids fair to save what remains of the public domain from their grasp. In all else there has been no change for the better. In defiance of state laws they still as quch as ever disgriminate in their charges on transportation against places and persons; stillenforce their own rule of charging all that any commodity will bear; still, in the face of positivs prohibitory statutes, consolidate different competing lines mto one combined power tor the op- pression of the people; still *‘water” thteir stock and divide points on pure- ly fictitious capital; still evade state and local laws on their property, and in many states exercise a power great- er than that of the state government, Some of the pro upon which great tross was laid four or five years ago are now by general consent admit- ted to be practical failures and mere legal rotten timber.

They lost it in 1880 largel through the anpopularity of thelr candl- ate. where it was first tried, we can only | date. know of it through one of the Adamses, who was first a Com- missioner for the state, is now in the service of the railway corpora- tions, and trying to solve the prob- lem of interstate traffic by suggesting a federal commission of three, to be paid a yearly salary of $10,000 each, and to be composed of one ‘‘consti- tutional lawyer, one railway expert, and one expert statistician.” He even goes so far as to present a draft of the bill and name at least two of the com- missicners to be appointed under it. And after all this is done, Mr. Adams admits that about the best thing the commission could do, and what he thinks it would do, is to let the cor- porations do as they please, The Reagan bi'l plan has been in varying form before congress ever since 1877. TIts purpose is for con- gress to regulate interstate charges, and to prohibit discriminativns be- tween persons and places. There is no doubt of its constitutionality, but there have arisen of late serious doubts that it car: ever be practically enforced. Isaac L. Rice, late railway ! commissioner for the state of Massa- chusetts and an expert in railway mat- ters, points out that such a federal law would be no use unless it fixed minimum as well as maximum rates. A law fixing minimum rates cannot be practically enforced and is of doubtful constitutionality. The rival corporations tried the rule and had to abandon it. The agreement between the great trank lines connecting the west with New York, Boston, Baltimore and Phila- delphia, by which New York freights were $2 per ton higher than those to Baltimore and Philadelphia, so seri- ously cut in upon the traffic of the New Yorkline and the trade of that city that it led'to a war of rates, and the absolution of Vanderbilt from the compact. When " these differential rates were $1 higher on the New York line the western grain traffic was di. vided out as follows, Per Ot 16.7 Philadelphi 8.5 Boston .. .. 16,8 This was the status of the western grain trade in 1870-71. In 1876 the differential rates still being in forte, this was the status. Per Ct. Per Ct, 6 Baltimore, 23, 7 Boston . 14.5 The New York line could not bear this cutting in upon its traffic, and a further reduction of the minimum was demanded. The rival lines refused, and a war of rates followed again. At the end of it a reduction in G0 cents was agreed upon. The result, as stated in 1880, was this percentage of trade: Per Ct. 20 Ct. 39 Philadelphia Baltimore. 25 Boston. . 15 New York again rebc''ed, and the late fierce war of ratés restitud. Now York demanded the righi .0 reduce as low as the owners of her line saw fit, and here is the outcome of the fight of 1881: Per Ot, New York...... 48.8 Boston, . Philadelphia....14 Baltimore, Tt is because the New York lines are the longest that the agreements restrained them to & minimum, It was because she was losing her trade to Baltimore and Philadelphia that the owners of her lines were forced to recede from the conpact. It is doubt- fuf that any act of congress could bet- ter prevail in the enforcement of min- imum rates than such a corporation compact. Wayne MacVeagh, late United States attorney general, now attorney for the Pennsylvania railroad, informs the Reagan house committee on inter- state traffic that these roads are pri- vate plupel'lf' and their owners have the same right to use them for the benefit of the stockholders that any rivate man has to use his house or arm for his benefit. This is not true, and MacVeagh as a lawyer ought to know it. Railways and canals are quasi public property, and the State that gave them their rightof way and corporation powers also re- served to itself the right to regulate their tolls. But the grave question arises, whether, in case Congress de- cides to regulate interstate twaffic, the State laws on that point must not be abandoned; and if so, whether any Congressional Commission, such as Adams proposes to carry this Act of Congress into execution, would not soon find itself just where Adams and McVeagh are in the employ of the railway companier in fact, of the Gov- ernment in theory only, * There is yet, after lfi these failures, one way to solve the railway problem and restrain the tyranny of the corpo- rations, That is for the government to purchase or construct certain com- manding lines of railway and operate them byits own agents. Its credit being good; it could do this cheaper than any corporation. The rate of interest on its bonded debt would be 2} per cent. below the average corpo- Ex-Governor Hendricks, of Indiana, while in Chicago denied in an interview the rumor that he had been converted from free tra e to protection. That he said, would be impossible, as he had never been free trader. He deaied his posi- tion as midway between theltwo extremes, and added that he was “in favor of pro. tection only to a judicious and beneficial extent.” In the wmlnq redistricting of the state of North Carolina the independents will make a strong effert to have the districts so formed as to give them a chance to elect some of the congressmen. The state of Missouri will be re-dis- tricted in order, if possible, to insure a complete congressional delegation to the democrats. Of thirteen congressmen at present, five are republicans or green. ackers, It is hard to see just how the bourbons are going to gerrymander so as to accomplish their purpose. The dissat- isfaction among the democrats is not con- tined to any particular district or dis- tricts, but is spread throughout the whole state, During the past eight years, the democratic major.ty for gvernor has been reduced from fifty thousand to seventesn thousand. The democrats needn’t lose all hope.
