No farmers or editors can do without it. Printed and published at the government printing bureau, ‘Washington, TELLER IN THE CABINET. 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 Morrit's confirmation when Arthur was removed from the New York custom house by Hayes, and he also voted against Robertsors confirmation last spring, Second— Because the president de- -sires to place a Pacifi ccoast man at the head of the interior department, and Colorado being identified in interest with the Pasific 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'ina 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 with him on all political issues, Nobody can justly find fault with i for giving recognition to the 800" tion weat 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, President Arthur knows enough to know that the interests of the great railroads and especially of the Union & Ransas Pacific must olash with the interests of the United States. Presi- dent Arthur knows that the control of the interior depart- ment by theso giant monopolics with their immense lavd giants would jepordize the intexcsts of the people of the United Statcs, Prosi- ‘dent” Arthur ought 0. kuow that Wenry M. Teller, wio for years has been the Colofado attorney for the Union Pacific, would be a very unsafe man for the section of which he is chosen as special represontative.

The greater part of the awtempts made up to the present time to use electricity for illuminating ether have been of the character of experiments. Most successful of all the plans adopted seems to have been the illuminated masts. In San Jose, California, and in Cleveland, this form of illumina- tion has grown greatly in popularity. I'he Cleveland Leader says if the city liad sixty masts scattered over its ter- ritory, each aiding the rest more or loss, with the aid of tvhe reflection from the walls, clouds and atmos- phere, every streat, alley, park, flat, common, door yard, back yard, and out off the way place would appear on a dark night as if it were illumin- ated by the moon. A recent photo- graphical test has clearly proven that the light is twice as strong as that of the full moon. The result would be that nearly all the burglars would be scared out of town; that the lumber- men, railroad employes and dock men, would be able to work nights when it is mnecessary; that three-fourths the number of policemen would be able to do the work of a full force; that fire engines would be able to move more rapidly to a fire; the carriages could drive better at night, and so on ad infinitum, For domestic purposes the light seems to have made little more head- way. A number of manufacturing firms have employed it with success in rooms where volume rather thau qnality of light was the prineipal thing desired. But in dwellings the results lovked for have not yet been found. The cost of introducing it very heavy and constancy of flame has not been secured, Kdison claims that his sys- tem when once at work in New York city, were wires are now being laid in every direction, will meet every re- quirement of a cheap, safe and steady light. But Edison has been proved to be better on claiming thar ge per- formance and the general impYession still remains that the light of the future has not yet been found by Bush, Edison or Maxim, ail of whow believed that they had solved the problem of electric lighting. e— ‘We will shoulder our muskets and fight for our rights, You must not drive us to desperation.” These were the excited words of a member from Hudson county, spoken last week in the New Jersey legislature on the eve of tho passage of one of the most out- ragoous bills ever conccived by cor- porate monopolies to plunder th publie. By its provisions the entire vater front of of Hoboken and Jerscy City is dorated to tho Pennsylvania & New Jersey Central railrond com- panies, the xight of ewminent domain is taken from boththe stat and the municipalities andaccess to New York harbor is forever forbidden to uny corporation whose object may be to compete with the grasping mo- nopolies who control, body and soul, the legislature of New Jersey. 1lc was a number of years ago that Wen- the appointment of Teller would be resented as an outrage. This man Toller was foisted on the people of Colorado as Senator by the railroad influence, but the railroads know that he can never be re elected. Wi:» A, career in the senateg,has been that of & patronage broker, jobber and railroad capper. If Sargent was objectionable on account of his reoc- 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 dic- tate who should sit in his cabinet they may as well dictate the decisions of our supreme court. i » oo dell Phillips declared ia a public speech that the Union consisted of thirty-six states and a railroad com- pany. Withaslight amendment as to the number of states, the remark holds as good to-day. Al railroad property in New Jersey is exempt from local taxation. JyTwoljcities in which the most valuable lands, build- ings and water fronts have been seized by the corporations, are already nearly bankrapted by this provision. At the present session of the legislature, when they appealed for relief the rail- road minions snap) their fingers and refused to d the amount of state taxes collected on the railroad property on the ground that such re- funding would force®the imposition of a state tax.

Sp—— PREACHING MID PALMS. ‘Worshipers Without a Church and ‘Without & Pastor. 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 mnister 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 offered the use of his spacious floral 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. Kattenhausen from Louisville, Neb., at other times by the president of the congregation; the minister himself not venturing among his flock on account f the contagious disease.. The service, how- ever,was not the less solemn and heart- touching and the Lord was always implored to end the plague. t Sabbath the evangelium of the fourth Sunday in Lent was read where Jesus foeds the five thousand men with five lowves of barley bread and a few small fishes and twelve bas- kets of fragments were left and saved. The Saviour’s power was held up first 88 having mercy on the hungry crowd which had congregated to hear him; second, the willingness to help, and third, the help in itself but also the +lundance of the savin_s. 1he service Jwas ended by singing the hymn, *“Make end, oh Lord, make end of our distress.” Next Suuday’ vices will be con- ducted by a minister trom S,uth Platte, who has kindly volunte.red.

Some idea of the enormous character of the Union Pacific enterprises can be had foom the fact that ity expenses will reach about $34,000 a day, or over $1,000 per hour, or $16 per minute. The U, P. shops at Eagle Rock, Idaho, are running night and day repairing dam- ages arising from the recent numerous wrecks that have occurred along the line of the Utah & Northern, and work is being dispatched with great alacrity.

The Railroad Problem. San Prancesco Chronicle. The railroad problem promises to become as serious a one and as diffi- cult of solution during the decade from 1880 to 1800 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 constitutional provisions as prohibit the states and counties from voting them subsidies, supplemented by a po ular pressuro upon congress which i s 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 much as ever disgrimiate 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 ration rate; .and as it would have only the public to serve and lque, the lowest possible .rates would be insgred. The corporations would either ha¥e to come down to then1 or suspend opera- tiong. POLITIOAL NOTES. There are in congress wight Irishmen, four Scotchmen, five Englishnien, and three Germans, The Massachusetts yenate hws revused the woman suffrage bill a third reading by & vote of 21 to 12, Governor Roberte, of Texas, has called ecial session of the legislature ana has laid out enough work to keep it busy for three months. Governor Hagood, of South Carolina, has appointed the surveyors and _assistant supervisors of registration for the entire state, and the registration of voters will commence in May. The only dem cratic congressman from Massachusetts, the Hon. Leopold Morse, is lonely in Washington and announces that he will not be a candidlate for re-elec- tion under any circumstances, The town elections througbout New England show no signs of republican weak- nto one combined power for the op- pression of the people; still ‘‘water’” threir 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 pmgoulu upon which great tress was laid four or five years ago are now by general consent admit- ted to be practical failures and mere legal rotten timber. If the state commission has been of any practical value to the people of Massachusetts, where it was first tried, we can only | g, 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 80 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. 1Its 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 cunnecting 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 traftic of the New York line 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 Ct. Per Ct. Yew York,. 5.7 Baltimore...... 16.7 Philadelphia 18.5 Boston........ 15.8 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. New York. Philadel phia The New York line coul 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, Per Ct. New York 39 Philadelphia.... 20 Baltimore. 25 Boston......... .15 New York again rebc! late fierce war of rates rcs York demanded the righv .0 reduce as low as the owners of her line saw fit, and here is the outcome of the fight of 1881: Tt is because the New York lines are the longest that the agreements restrained them to a 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- ful 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 pruperlf' and their owners have the same right to use them for the benefit of vhe stockholders that any private man has to use his house or farm 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 traffic, 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 -fi these failures, one way to solve the railway problem and restrain the tyranny of the corpo- news, though local affairs took precedace of political issues in most of them. The new arrangement of the congres- sional distictsin Mississippl will probably shelve Congressman Singleton. His coun- t:i has been placed in Mr, Hooker's dis- trict, California is one of the states in_which the democrats will look for gains in con- gressmen this fall. They now have two of the four members from the state. The | street, §1 republicans, however, hope to_make gains also. and will try to win back the Third districr, which is now represented by C. B. Berfy. Thoy lost it 10 1880 largely through the unpopularity of their candi- ate. Ex-Governor Hendricks, of Indiana, while in Chicago denied in an interview the rumor that he had been convert: from free tra e to protection, That he said, would be impossible, as he had never been a free trader. He deaied his posi- tion as midway between th?wo extremes, and added that he was “in favor of pro. tection only to a judicions and beneficial extent,” In the coming redistricting of the state of North Carolina the independents will make a strong effert to have the districts 80 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 posible, to insure a complete congressional delegation to the democrats, Of thirteen congressmen at present, five are republicans or green- anksu. 1t is hard to see just how the bourbons are going to gerrymander s0 as to accomplish their purpose. The dissat- isfaction among the democrata 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.
