The present extra session of the Neobragka legislature will always be a notable one, if for nothing else than for its exposure of the corrupt power of the monopolies and their disgraes- ful political methods in endeavoring to iufluence legislation in this state. Whatever the report of the Carns in- vestigating committee, enough has beon made public to prove conclusively that Nebraska has no advantage over New York in the morality of her eor- porations, ot in the eorruption which floats in tho air at every session of the levislature, where the interests of the railroads are involved. Mr. Robberts’ aflidavit was tho first palpable proof of the charges of bribory so often Bk while tho Jast legirlature was in sos- sion. Reinforced by the statementa under oath of Mr. Reynolds, and with mado in the columns of Tux __|a strong side light thrown from the aflidavits of Mossrs. Thurston and Kimball, Mr, Robberts’ aflidavit bears on its face every evidence of truth, and commends itself to every unbiased citizen of the state. Taken by itself Utah, All dealers who keep TR DAILY [alone Mr, Robberts’ charge and Ban on s4le should hereafter sddress ;mr proof are sufficiently disgracing erders to the Manager Ameriesn News |y, 4y 105010 of Nobraska, That a Company, Omaha, Neb, A wer May makes a good wheat erop, but what about the corn? As an investigator the editor of ‘The Herald is not a howling success. Rerorx within the p;;’ in said to have 150,000 republican backers in Pennsylvania, Tue leading article of the railroad political platform seems to be ‘‘We pays our money and we takes our choice.” . Tur Philadelphia Record thinks ¢hat a ““first rater” is what is needed in Pennsylvania politics, Pennsyl- vania’s need in this respect is the uni- versal want. By the time the next visiting dele- gation of merchants reaches Omaha our citizens propose to show them some substantial public improvements in the way of puvements. Tue clerk of the weather seems to havo a special grudge against Omaha, On every occasion when our city de- sires to put on her brightest colors aud beat clothes rain and mud are cer- tain to change the programme, “Iris an issue of veracity between Carns and Robberts,” say the mon- opoly organs, When the issue is whittled down to this point the public will not take long to decide. Carns 1s a corruptionist on his own admis- sion and on the sworn statements of Mesers, Thurston and Kimball A corraptionist'’s views on corruption possosses very little public interest. Tuar horny-handed workizgman, E. Bartlett, of the Douglas county delegation, distinguished Limself at the legislature on Tuesday by a violent tirade against the Omaha mechanics and laborers who participated in the late labor troubles. Mr. Bartlett's sympathy with workingmen extonds to the fees which he can extract from their pockets m his role of asmall ease attorney and justice of the poacs counselor at law. Guiteav must hang. The supreme esourt of the District of Columbia, after a careful consultation and a most rigorous examination of the writ of errors handed up from Judge Cox's tribunal have affirmod the sentence of the lower courts, thus disposing of the last chance for a new trial of the mur- derer of President Garfield. Public interest is already begiuning to center on the neck-tie sociable which will take place in Washington on June S0th. In Ohio during the past thirty years the number of tarms has doublod. The late census bulletin shows that of thirty-one states and territories, Ohio has the grestest number of farms, with the exception of Illinois, which has 206,741, After Ohio, New York follows, with 231,068; Missour, with 215,676; Pennsylvania, with 213,642; Ind , with 194,013; Jowa, with 185, numbers, according to area aud popu- lation, Tur sympathy of the political world will go out to the independents of Misgissippi, Chalmors, the cham- pion of bulldozing, tissue ballots, the #hot gun and the Mississippi plan, has joined their ranks and comes forward a8 a candidate for “‘re-clection” to the seat from which he has just been bounced by congress on the ground of fraud and intimidation. Mississippi voters will show their iudependence by leaving Mr. Chalmers and his can- didacy severely in the cold. op— Tae house of rum&cutntivu will do well to unseat Mr, Shelley of Ala. pama; who elaims membership in it, although the contestant, Mr. J. Q. Swith, has died recently. There is evidonce betore the elections commit- tes to prove that Smith Lad 2,803 majority in the district, and that Shelley was counted iun by the grossest of frauds. He should be promptly ousted and a new cloction held, at which every effort should be made to ensure a fair election. aud the remainder with lossor single memberof the legislature should be approached by a corruptionist and that corruptionist a high officfal of the stato is in itself a startling commen- tary on the power of the monopolies. But if the real facts of last winter's session could be revealed we believe that an exposure would be made which would shake the state from one end to the other, There is every reason to believe that J. (!, Robberta was only one of a large number of members of the last legislature who were corruptly approached in the interests of the monopolies. E. C. Carne was not the only corporatien capper. And Thur- ston's and Church Howe's apartments were not the only auction rosms where votes woro bought and bargains clinched. The strong fight made to throttle all anti-monopoly legislation was notoriouely an expensive ono for the railroads. It cost something to run the *‘oil room.” It cost more to defer legislative sction on the numer- ous bills introduced with this object in both houses. In the lobby which worked so energetically for their monopoly masters, Carns was only one of the many tools of the corpora- tions. His chief value was the purt he played in packing the senate com- mittees. The dirty work after that time was vpretty impartially divided among a number of equally zealous workers. There was an atmosphere of bribery and corruption, which had its origin in Omaha railroad head- quarters, where attorney and managers on their own confession openly dis- cussed the advisability of purchasing votes, and debauching logislators to violate their solcmn oaths, Eveny fow months reports come of the discovery of oil wolls in Europe which are certain to seriously uffect American production. The figures of or domestic exports certainly give no indication of the truth of these prophecies. Whatever falling off’ thore may have been in domestic ex- ports during the current fiscal year, potroleum has not only held its own but made an advauce in the quantity exported. The shipments from the United States during the nine months ending March 31, 1882, as set forth in reports by the national bureau of statistics, nggregated 414,062,339 gal- lons, an wcrease as compared with the corresponding period of the last fiscal year of 141,402,995 gallons, To to prepay postace on journals was a direct stab at the profession, and com- pelled proprietors of journals to re- lieve the government from all danger of loss for the transportation of these matls, In retiring all fractional cur- rency auother injury was done to the publishers of newspapers, in order to increase the receipts of the monoy order department of The provailing postago rates on journals the postoffice aro outrageously high and amount to These imports full the country press who aro often compelled to take the price of their subscription in corn and t» pay cash to the post. offico department for portage, There at deal of truth in the remark of Tho Peorin Transcripe that a direct tax on iutelligence, most heavily on Thero is a gr if the press of the country once made a uuited demand for the abalition of newspapers’ postage, thoy could bring congress very soon to its seusca. It would be no diflicult matter to retire any congressman who would rofuse to sanction auch a measuro of relicf, In the end the public itself would reap the benefit in reduced prices of sub- acription or in greatly improved jours uals, Crariry ought to begin at home thinks the New York Tribune, which given the religious philanthropists of that city the following dig upon a ten- dency which is by no means confined to New York.—“If Harrisburg or Savannah or Trenton or Omaha had no Protestant church all the evangoli- cal societies for domentin missions FEDERAL COURTS OF APPEAL Judge Davis' biil, creating United States appellate courts has passed the senate and is now awaiting the action of the house of representatives. The measure is a strong effcrt to relieve the supreme court of the overwhelm- ing amount of litigation with which it is burdened, and to which it is im« poseible for it to give its attention. The court is already threo years bo- hind in its work, and the docket is filled with an accumulation of busi nesg which is in pressing need of final adjudieation. Two other plans for ing the court have been muggested. One to add to the number of judges has been rejected failing to promise any relief becaus each case must be reviewed by the full court, The other propomtion to divide the court into chambers has been shelved because it is conceded that thero are strong constitutional objections against its adoption. It is generally admitted that the bill of Judge Davis will meet every objection, and provide the desired remedy. The measure has tho approval of the supreme court; of the judiciary com- mittee of the senate, and the ablest lawyers of theland, The Davis bill as it passed the senate, proposes to establish ten oourts of final jurisdiction through- out the country. In all cases where the sum involved is not more than $10,000, in which there is no question as to the con- struction of the constitution, a treaty would feel conscience-stricken over neglected duty. Butin this city, in a district that contains 30,000 people (the population of the cities men- vioned), the first Protestant chapel has just been established. This is Carmel church, and the Christian per- sons interested in it have now opened a place of worship in a building that for forty years wasa grogshop. If the pastor of the new society can only reach thoso peoplo who, owing to the force of their bad habits, may drop in at the place, he probably will soon have a thriving congregation.” Easteny correspondents are de- termined that Governor Kirkwood shall not be retired from the govern- ment sorvice. The latest political of Governor Kirkwood’s name is in connection with the presi- dency of the tariff commission. Mecantime the old war-horse keeps up his whittling a nail keg in Towa City, and refuses to bother himself about aflairs at the national capitol. mention Ir looks very much as if the Crapo| bill, extending the charters of the na- tional banks, will not secure a passage.

Fach of theso courts will be presided over by one of the supreme judges associated with three circnit and two judges of the United States district courts, The very ocon- stitution of such a bench would assure 1t from the outset popular confidence and approval. The Davis bill is framed in the intercsts of the people s well as for-tho relief of the present supreme courts. It is a disgraceful commentary on justice that years of time and large sums are now required to push any case in the federal courts to final adjadication. Itis a shame and a disgrace that the court of the nation organized to decide upon great questions of constitutional construction should be occupying its time in determining petty disputes be- tween citizons of different states when JOINING HANDS, A Delegation of St. Louis Mor- chants Visit Omaha. They are Given a Hearty Reception. In accordance with an invitation insued at the time of the recont visit of Jay Gould to this city, a number of merchants from St Louis came up yeslerday to pay their respects to the merchants of Omaba. It was a cut and dried affair from the beginning, i which Mayor Boyd and others played the part ef flunkeys, having less of an eye to the public good than its docket is already loaded down with more than 1,200 cases, mauy of which are of sugreme importance. Objection to the bill creating apel- late courts comes chiefly from the de- mocracy. Their opposition is entirely partisan, It is based solely on the fact that the passage of the bill would require the selection by the presi- dents of eighteen additional judges who would te republicans. This ob- jection is factional in the extreme. The country demands the relief of- fered by the Davis bill and will not submit to be deprived of its advan- tages on a purely political issue. And the house of representatives in giving the measure a speedy passage will best serve the interest of their constitu- ents, The Population of the Great Republic. Cleveland Leader, For seventy years down to 1860 the ratio of the increase of population of our country has been less than three per cont per annum, compounded, and ut times hus been above that percent age. During the decade in which the war prevailed the ralio of increase was about two aud a quarter per cent, compounded, per aunum, The in- crease during the last decade was from 38,668,971 in 1870 to b0,155,783, amounting to 11,007,412, equal to two and three-fourths of one per cent per aunum, compoundsd, Since the census of 1880 was taken, immigration from Europe has increased in a greater proportion than was ever before known, amounting to over a mullion. This, with the natural growth, would give an increase equal to the ratio that existed for seventy years previous to 1860, namely, 3 per cent per annum, compounded. Upon that basis the increase for the first twelve months since the last census was taken would be 8 per cent, and for the last ten and a-half months 2.6 of one per cent, which would bring the population of the Grea: Republio to a fraction over 63,000,000, This exceeds the popu lation of the German Euipire by about £5,000,000, that of France and Aus trie respectively by 17,000,000, and of Great Britain by sbout $18,- 000,600, Ounly one civilized nation excals us und that 15 Russie, which has & population of about 80,000,000, Such are the giant strides the great American Union is making and that chiid is living who, when it attains its mujority, will see & population of 100,- G00,000! Noxt year will be the one hundreth anviversary of the siguing of the treaty of peace batween the three mil- lion colonists and Great Britain, and lation will then be more thau our poj 54,000,000, an increase of nearly fifteen fold during the century, What will be the condition of our country at the end of the second century of its existence! If the increase should be only half that of the previous cen tury, say seven fold. it would have a population of 381,500,000, which would be 60,000,000 greater than the present popula m of Furope! If thers should be no more eivil wars aud the Union should remain intact; if the princi ples of civil and religious libercy should not be infringed upon and no unseen obstacles arse to block the warch of progress; the height in the acalo of civilization that this vepnblic will then have attained, the immense wealth it will have acsumulated, the to a little display of personal au- thority. On Wednesday evening a Bee ro- porter applied to Superintendent House, of the Missouri Pacific, for authority to go down and meet the incoming excursionists, and give them a gend off that would be in keeping with the spirit of the enterprise, but was informed that the presence of a reporter on the same train would not, in h1s (House's) opinion, be agreeable to the visitors, He didn’t think they wanted any reporters on the train. Previous to this the report of the pre- limmary meeting was given to a morning paper, exclusive of all co- temporaries, and when the city editor of oue paper went to Mayor Boyd, and gave him a blowing up, he not only apologized to him but applied to a distinguished railroad official to pre- n-rnt any damper being thrown on the affair, Oun Tuesday night Messrs. Frank Murphy and Jos. Barker called at a newspaper office and again apologized for the occurrence alluded to, declared it was misintended, and left a cordial invitation for three of the representa- tives of the paper to be present at the reception and banquet to be tendered the St. Louis folks. Afterwards an assessment of $10 was made on certain parties, including the noewspaper offices, and tickets issued to such persons only as paid the assessment. On Wednesday night the list of invited guests and the programme of yesterdsy was handed the two monopoly papers and vbtained by Tur Ber only through the courtesy of a reporter who knew the managers of the affair were acting in an unheard of manner. Tho committee had not the good sense to appreciate the fact that the representatives of the press, should be invited to ac- company the visiting party in their trip about the city, and aside from the presence of one man, who was willing to come in at the tail end of the spe- cial train, in his private car, rather than be left, no newspaper was represented during the afternoon. The guests from St. Louis came, were driven about the city and ban- quetted at Masonic Hall last evening. It is reasonable to presume that they were well treated, and certainly no one accords them a heartier welcome than Tre Bee. That they should desire to- visit the business men of Omaha is not to be wondered at, and when they were in- vited to take free rido at the expense of a new line not yet completed, they could not with courtesy refuse. As a matter of fact however, if they had been coming up at their own expevse they would never have come over the Missouri Pacifie, when the old relia- ble Wabush, ninety.one miles shorter than the new live, is running with its splendid equipment, and its courteons and wentlemanly managers, If the Missouri Pacific expects to make itself populsr in the north.-west it will do well to send presentatives up this way that have a litte enterprise and common seuss abcut them. They never can 1 the Wabash anyway, unless it reason of personal popularity whi they never will attzin under the pres- eut management at this end of the line. The people of the north-west, a8 o class are not fond of playing second fiddle to anybody. Tteis to be hoped that the business relations bo- tween St. Loais and Omaha may grow stronger every day; but there is noth- ing now in the way of facilities for intercourse that will increase the op portunities that have existed for some time past, and the people of the new line may as well disabuse their minds, from the first, of any idea that they have any especial claims on the northwest.
