EE———— Gov. Kmkwoop 18 barred out of the tariff commission, according to Attorney General Brewster, becaute he was formerly a member of the senate which passed the bill. His Towa friends, who will not iake no for an answer, propose to nominate and elect him to congress this fall over all competitors. Tue call for the organization of a state anti-monopoly league at a con- vention to be held at Lincola, 21st, contemplates the organization of local anti-monopoly leagues in the various towns and cities of tho state.. The stato leaguo would, of neces- sity, be composed only of delegates duly elected by the local leagues The number of delegates clected by each local league is not fixed, but we presume the convention will admit all who present tho proper credentials, The Anti-Monopoly League, unlike the Farmers’ Alliance, admits all classes, professional men, mechanics, laborers, merchants, manutacturers and farmers. All who desire to check the aggression of corporate monopo- liea by legul means are expected to as- sociate themselves together in every locality. A local league may be formed by five men if no greater number is ready to afliliate with the movement. Quite a number of anti-mqnopoly leagues have already been organized, and we presume that many more will be organized within the next two wooks. 8iNCE the passage by the house of the bill creating a secretary of agri- culture, Valentine's organsin the state haye been howling loudly the praises of the Nebraska congressman as the <hampion of a valuable and importaui measure. This scheme, whose only object is to create a few soft and fat offices, was denounced by Tur Ber when it was reported from the com- mittee on agrioulture, There is no demand on the part of out farmers for a secretary of agriculture, The countryis poorly enough served by the present bureau forthe distribution of garden seeds and the encourage- ment of the department of public printing, Nine-tenths of the agricul. tural journals furnish more practical information for farmers in a single ssue than is contained in a dozen volumes of the reports sent out by Le Duc and his successor. Every seed atore has on sale the ‘‘new and valu- able"” seeds which it costs the govern- ment eighty thousand a year to propo. and which are distributed through congressmen to their constituents. The people are calling for greater economy in government and lighter taxation. They see no officer 'at " the head, and & score of olerks jat the tail, which will be subscryed #s well by the pres- ent - om and bureau. The ad. | they THE U. P. HEAD TAX. The Union Pacific organs, with democratic and republican labels, come promptly to the front in defense of the hospitat head tax, They want to make the public believe this is purely a benevolent arrangement, got- ten up in the interests and by the re- quest of the company's employes. Now if the employes of the railroad company desire to impose a head tax on themselves for hospital purposes they have the right to do 8o, but the question is what right has the com- pany to force them to contribute part of their earnings for the support of the medical department, over which have no whatever. Buch exactions are on a par with the forced contributions levied by Jesse James and his gang. These gentle- manly highway-men would order pas- sengers and trainmen to hold up their hands, under penalty of death, whils they went through their pockets. The benevolent managers of the U, P. command the helpless employes of that giant corporation, to stand and deliver, under penalty of loosing their livelyhood. If this hospital service is a voluntary affuir toward which thy laborer at $1.560 a day has contributed as much as the general manager, who earns §20,000 a year, why shouldn’t all who pay have the eame voice in the management of tho Railway hos- pitals. ‘When a man hires a doctor he is at liberty to discharge him if he does not suit him, and hire another, but here the company compels their em- ployes to pay for drugs, hospital nurses and surgeons, and they have no word to say as to who shall be em- ployed, or when or how, or where. What is the consequence! Do the surgeons and hospital nurses con- sider that they age under obligations to the parties who make up their in- come, or do they look to the railroad managers for their orders? We are told that citizens not em- ployed and not injured by the road can only be admitted in the hospitals on the payment of a dollar and a half a day, bat citizens injured on the road who snro not employes will be treated free of chargo. At whose ex- penso we pray? Why should the employes of the road pay for treatment of parties who are not employed, that maybe injured by accidents on the road? Why should the company ask their em- ployes to pay for their medical de- partment, which is mainly organized for the purpose of treating people who may have damage olaims agsinst the company for injuries sustained ¢n the road? Why should not the compauy pay for hospitals at Omaha, Denver and Ogden, or wherever they sce fit to control establish them, out of its own income just as it paya for political attorneys and strikers who hang round the legis- latures and conventions? It is all very well for the paid or- ganista of the U, P. to chime in and endorse’ this hospital head tax, but they know as well as we do that it is an unmitigated outrage, It gives the men no chance whatever to conduct the concern which is maintained with their money. If they are go unlucky a8 to be thrown into one of these hoa- pitals by wserious injuries which disable them for years or for life, the nurses and surgeons, who are paid with their money, regard them- selves as the company's employes, and if called into court to testify con- cerning the condition of the injured party, they make as light of their in. juries as they possibly can, because it is the interest of the company to get off with the least amount of damage. The only mistake we have made is in the estimate of the amount, It will aggregate §60,000 to $70,000 a year, instead of §36,000. We are not aware that other roads have levied a head tax, It does not make the sys- tem the less objectionable. A cor- poration like the Union Pacific, that diyides over thirteen millions a year among its stockholders, can afford to pay for its own hospital service, THE STATE UN2VERSITY. The regents of the State university will hold their quarterly meeting within a few days, and their action will, in a great measure, determine the fate of the institution, Although the legislature, at its late session, has not seen fit to make an inquiry into the management of the university, the people of this state are decidedly of the opinion that a radical change must either be made in the government and conduct of that institution, or the next legislature must be instructed to have it closed. After an existence of nearly ten years the . university, which was to have been the pride of every Ne- braskap, is literally a wreck, What- over may have beeu the cause of the conflict within the faculty, one fact is potent, and that is that the present head of the institution lacks executive ability and that tolerance which in the very nature of things must be exer- cised toward all who may differ with him in his theological views. ‘The people of Nebraska, comprising those wi:o believe and those who dis- believe, are all taxed toward main- taining the unversity. 1t is contrary tothe spirit of our government, contrary w s raid on the treas- in the interest of|to our state constitution, to have the wy jpolitical tramps, and has received no ‘encouragement from the faruwers. university conducted on a sectarian basis, While it is expected that moral discipline will be firmly maintained, the right to worship according to the dictates of one’s conscience, or not to worship if one is not inspired by faith, must remain untramelled. The pecple contribute toward the maintenance of the university to edvcate their sons and daughters in every branch of learning except theology. That must be left to sectarian colleges, because each sect will insist that theirs is the only true system of theology, and all the others lead to hades. The action of the regents at their last meeting in diepensing with the services of some of the most compe- tent professors of the university, be- cause they could not harmonize with the chancellor on his orthodox theo- rier, has met with decided disapproval among intelligent men of all classes and all oreeds. 1f these men are to be replaced by a faculty that is in perfect accord with the chancellor's religious dogmas, the university will degenerate into a sectarian college, and the people will demand that further taxation for its support shall censo. Already public confidence in the university is sadly weakened, and few people in this etate who place any value on a collegiate education will be disposed to patronize the univereity unless it is thoroughly regenerated. Thore can be no half way work about it. We must either have a univeraity worthy of the name, or we had better close the doors and stop the waste of money, and the imposition that is practiced upon its patrons. Ohancellor Fairfield has outlived his usefulness in the university, and he should be made to seek another field for his labors, whether the pro- fessors that have been dismissed are reinstated or not. We have shown no disposition in the past to join with those who made war upon him from personal motives, but we are of tho opinion that his re- tention at the head of the university would deprive Nebraska of the bene- fits which its founders sought to con- fer upon her people, As THe time draws near for the opening of the political campaign the monopoly organs begin to exhibit symptoms of horror at the interest taken by the farmers in politics. The horror is likely to be turned into dis- may after the fall election. The farm- ers of Nebraska were never 8o thor- oughly alive to the necessity for pro- tecting their interests against the ag- gressions of corporate monopolies as they are at the present time. That protection they see can only be se- oured through the caucus primary con- ventions. When railroads combine to centrol political parties as aids to their schemes against the public in- terest, it is high time that combina. tions should be made to checkmate the plans of unscrupulous tools of the monopolies. What reason is there why the farmer shouln not take as strong an interest in politics as the merchant or professional man? And why ts it a crime in the eyes of the corporation editora when farmers agi- tate sonding men to the legislature and congress who shall represent their viewsand vote for their interests. sending of the allied fleet of iron-clads to Alexandria, and so great is his jealousy of the dual European pro- tectors of his tributary African state that it is extremely probable that the rumot of his secret connivance with Arabi Bey, while openly upholding the Khedive, has a foundation in fact. The despised Turk is tired of wearing the fetters his Kuropean friends, the great powers, have forged for him. If any vestige of the Sultan’s soverignty remains now is a good time to exercise it by landing Turkish troops in Egypt. That is what France or England would do in case a rebellion broke out in a stateor province acknowledging their sover- eignty. It is to test his power to govern his own subjects in his own way that Abdul Hamid so strongly in- sists upon this course. Distasteful as any concession to the sultan would be to the present liberal miuistry, Eng- land would be glad to get out of the scrape by assenting to the use of the Turkish gendarmerie against the in- surgents, Her own troops could never be used for such a purpose without arousing a storm of indigna- tion among the most active supporters of the government. Arabi Bey is the nominal representative of the princi- ple of self-government and the freeing of enalaved nationalities—a principle which English liberals have varnestly contended should by applied 1n south- eastern Europe. They cannot con- sistently take different ground in the case of northeastern Africa. The,_ interests of I'rance forces a directly contrary force, Sheisboundto oppose the landing of Turkish troops on Egytian soil. She has possessions in Africa still under the spiritual do- main of the caliph, and she will not imperil her own interests on the south coast of the Mediterrancanby consent- ing to any increase in the sultan’s temporal authority at Cairo. The landing of Turkish troops near the Tunisian frontier will not tend to change her determination upon this point. A jomt land demoustration by England and France is open to numerous grave objectione, one of which is the chance of serious Euro- pean complications, for Germany, Austria and Italy are by no means dis- interested observers of what is going liberals bathing and steal theirclothes, | civil and rellflrmu privileges, and all that s as Lord Derby did under his lieuten- ant’s tutilage. The danger of a war between Ger. many and Russia seems to be averted for the present; yet it is believed at Berlin that such a catastrophe might at any moment arise from either of the following causes: The growth of the Russian empire, ahd the conse- quent arrogance of the people; the movement among its neighbors to re- cover lands taken by Germany, and Prince Bismarck's conviction thata Russo-German war is as inevitable as a Franco-German one after 1866, It is also possible that the czar may be- lieve a war with some foreign power to be popular, and as being the best means of quieting the nihilist troubles. Roumania and Sweden are increasing their military establishments, with a view to being ready when the time comes for the recovery of Bessarabia and Finland. Turkey is believed to have urged @ermany to attack Rus- on at Alexandria and Cairo. So of the three powers upon whom the khedive can call for support, no one can act singly, and no two can act to- gether with decision and thoroughness, The sending of iron-clads amounts to nothing. They are in the harbor, and the difficulty they were sent to settle happens to be a land affair. Meantime there is talk of a general European conference. The Hgyptian troops are demanding the deposition of the khedive, and proclamation of the popular Prince Halin who repre- sents the party opposed to the Kng- lish and French protectorate as ruler, Arabi Bey’s supreme power is holding the unruly populace in check, and the combined fleet lies idle in the harbor of Alexandria. Dissensions in the English liberal party continue, the linessbeing drawn on support of Mr. Forster,representing the whig, and Chamberlain, who is the acknowledged mouthpiece of the ‘Vanperpiur has already paid nearly $500,000 for pictures. If the old Commodore were alive he might re- peat his famous opinion that ¢Bill didn’t amount to much.” OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. To students of European politics the Egyptian crisis presents an interesting problem second only to that of the revolution in the southeastern Aus- trian provine The inlerests con- cerned are #o diverse and the compli- cations so involved that any untang- ling of the snarl without open war scems difficult if not impossible The trouble began with the revolt of a number of Oircassian oflicers against Arabi Bey, the minister of war, and the commutation of their tentences by the khedive stirred up the hornet's nest and precipitated the general up- rising of the national party against the khedive, The ministry, who be- long to the national party are in act cond with Arabi Bey, straightway con- vened the notables and tried to secure in a legal fashion the disposition of wefik. They tailed in this, but with the military entirely under their con- trol the national party may at any time resort to 1ore direct measures, Twefik is at best a puppet in the hands of the Koglish and French con- trollers-general, He gives them no trouble about the financial agreement of which they are the agents, handing over to them regularly one-half his revenues, and activg ulways as the faithful native repsesentative of the control which Eng'and and France have managed, by ways more or less crooked, to fasten upon Mgypt. Tewfik reems also to be satisfactory to the Sultan, With such backers it would seem that he ought to be able to make short work of any upstart like' Arabi Boy, who should venture to trouble hia with his demands and his schemes for putting Egypt under the control of its own people. But the Khedive would be in & better position to deal summarily with the rebellious nationals if he had one master instead of three. It io almost impossible for England, France and Turkey to agree uyon & common policy, The Sultan has strenuously protested against the radical element. The quarrel began in 1870 betwecn Forster and Cham- berlain. Ten years ago, Forster, whose whig associations are strong, was one of thegreat men n the liberal party, while his present successful rival was only a helot of the party. In 1870 Gladstone was devising an education bill in which Chamberlain's constituents were deeply interested. He represented to Forater in vain the need of heeding the reclamations: of such an important constituency as Birmingham, but that gentleman ar- rogantly turned a deaf ear. Since then Chamberlain has been growing in political importance, and could ona poll carry a larger vote with the liberal party than any man in it, save Glad- |, stone or John Bright. Forster was groatly opposed to Cham- berlain’s entrance into the cabi- net in 1880, but the strength behind the young radical was too imposing to be left unheeded, He was made pres- ident of the board of trade, an office ‘analogous in functions to our secretary of the treasury—with & seat in the cabinet, as in the case of John Bright. His success, however, has been gall and wurmwood to the whigs, and some time ago they black-balled his two brothers when put up for membership at the Reiorm club—more as an es- pousal of Forster's course than be- cause there was any grudge against the young men, Gladstone and Har- tington both resented this, and brought about the recent motion tor admission by committee, It would have been carried had the evil news from Dublin not been fresh in the public mind. As it is, the schism promises to break up the club, and perhaps the liberal party. Lord Salisbury, as leader in part of the tories, feels authorized to ask the voters to prepare for the emergency of an almost immediate election, What this means it is hard to guess. The term of the present parliament does not expire until 1887, and there is no indication of any defection in the liberal ranks that would justify Gladstone's ordering a dissolution, Possibly, the gangrened semi-succes- sor of Disraeli means to om.:h the sia, in the hope that see might recon- quer Asia Minor, the Caucasus and the Crimea. The economy displayed by the Paris municipality is something re- markable as compared with the pro- fligacy of Am. rican supervisors. Thus, in Paris, the old paving stones, cut again, are sold to private persons; the old iron from the crinolines en- circleing the trees on Jthe boulevards, old lamp-posts and broken lamps, castiron pipes, etc.,, all are sold to tradesmen, and large sums of money are gained from that, They are going to sell the grass growing on the reser- voirs of the town at Montrouze, Belle- ville. Menilmontant, and on the grounds of the manufactory of St. Maur. Thanks to the mild weather there will, be most probably three crops. This grass will be eola for 10,000 francs to cattle-dealers, who have already applied for it. Two great persecutions blasted the best future of France and Spain in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. Neither has ever recovered from the loss of ekilled artificers and shrewd werchants expelled when Spain turned out Jew, Moor and Protestant and ‘France expelled the Huguenot. By whatever theory of chance, or law, or providential design men may inter- pret history, it has recorded the sure punishment of justice on these great crimes. Both countries at every na- tional crisis since have shown the lack of the virtue and the intellect then cut off and sent abroad by perse- cution. Russia is walking in the sawe path. In expelling the Hebrew under a ruthless persecution, it is extirpa- ting an essential element of its na- tional life. For the present, trade will bo disturbed, mercantile opera- tions checked, the distribution of her great crops prevented; but this is the only a part. The future will have its own story of a national career thwarted, stunted -and wrecked by per secution akia to suicide, and when, revolution comes Russia, like France, will have no balance wheel, Diffidence.
