It is natural that neither polititical party should wish to be held respon- sible for the extravagance of congross at it present session. A convention which during the past ten years has not declared in its platform for a greater economy in the use of the pub- lic money's would deserve to be stuff- od and placed in a glass case as a curi- osity. Economy on paper and econ- omy in practice are, however, two very different things,'and the difference is nowhere so marked as in political pro- fessions meant to influence votes. Of the nineteen odd million dollars appropriated by the river and harbor bill, more than one-half was intended directly to influence votes for con- gressmen by fickling local constituen- cies. Tt other words, it was intended to use the surplus of the national treasury as a political cempaign fund, and to carry through the scheme by tacking odious appropriations to it ms in the bill which were of a national character and carried with them the nation’s approval. On this system an appropriation of §10,000 for Squaw creck was joined to an appro priation of $000,000 for the im- provement of a national highway like the Missouri river, and the first item under the present practice could not be smothered without defeating at the eame time the other, The evil is none the less because it is recognized as an evil. Public virtue is exceed- ingly weak in the presence of a full treasury. But one of the worst fea- tures of this gigantic game of grab is the fact that it casts odium upon the whole policy of internal improve- ments by the nation, The seaboard with its great harbors, whose use by the fleets (f the world contributes to national prosperity, suffers equal'y with the west, whose mighty water- ways ought to be made availa- ble for purposes ot inland transportation to all the producers of our great agricultural section, So long week ending August Gth, he was|ay thore is no distinction made be- booked for Long Branch, Saratogs, |yween national and local improve- Newpory, the Aderondacks and Grand Island.

Carns was a grain buyer and he made a good deal of hay while the sun shone. Tae strike of the freight handlers n New York seems to be giving away, The chief difficulty in maintaining the ‘combination arose from the daily ar- rival in Now York of many thou- sands of foreign laborers willing to work for wages which could not sup- port an American laborer and his .amily, Tug Cleveland Leader denounces the passage of a bill by congress granting the right of way through the Indian Territory to the St. Louis & San Francisco railway company as a grom violation of pledges solomnly made to the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes. It says that this is the first time in the whole history of the gov- ernment that cougrees has under- taken to exercise the right of eminent domjain over rescrvations and territory occupicd by the Indiaus, and it is doubtless the entering wedge to other schemes for trampling under foot what few rights have been so- cured by tresty pledges to tne do scendants of the aborigines, It is eslimated that the land needed for right of way thus granted will amount to a little less than thirty thousand acres, but when once the corporation secures a foothold no one can tell how much additional land will be gobbled up. For the right thus granted the bill provides that the company shall pay the an- nual sum of three thousand dollars, inquarterlyinstallments, three fourths of which is to go to the Chootaws and the remaining fourth to the Chicka- saws, This grant, is made without the consent of the Indians and they may demurnot only to parting with their lands, but to the compensation fixed by the bill, In this latter case the act magnanimously provides that they may appeal to the Secretary of the Interior, and the amount of com- pensation shall then bedetermined by three commissioners, of whom the In- dians may choose one. How much of @ chance the latter would have to se- cure justice at the hands of a com. merits. New York took the bull by tho horns whon she adopted a consti- tutional provision aflowing the gov- ornor to refuse his approval to any item of appropriation which ho might see fit, while at the same time approv- ing the remainder. The vetoed itom then goes to tho legislature, who are at once brought to the record in their vote, sustaining or refusing to sustain the veto, Either one of these plans would do much to remove the evil ot congressional cowardice, which is one of the greatest defects of our present housas, AN ERA OF COMSBINATIONS The inability of the Burlington and Union Pacific roads to conclude a pooling compact, which is said to be due to Mr. Touzalin's refusal to promise not to extend the Burlington system into Colorado, is calling atten- tion to the increesing magnitude of railroad interests between Lake Mich- igan and the Rocky Mountains, The Burlington route, as the only posses- sor of a through line between Chica- go and Denver and intersecting Ne- braska points, possesses an immense natural advantage over both the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the two lines of the Union Pacific systom in handling through freights and passengers from the east and west. The only obsta- cle which prevents its management from using this advantage 1s the certainty that such & move would at once result in the disruption of the Towa peol, There are railway officials who shake their heads signifi- cantly and intimate that the time is near at hand when the territory em- braced by the present western pools must be enlarged and & great combi- uation be formed, which will take in all the country between Chicago and the Rockies, and prevent a competi- tion which, whilo advantageous to the poople, would diminish the profits of the companics. Just where monopoly enda in rail- road management it is difficult to see, One line of road, with sole control of the traflic of the section through which it runs is & monopoly because there can be no competition, 1f might be supposed that the build- ing of two presumably competing rail- roads would break such a monopoly, Under the existing policy of combina- tions, monopoly is maidtaived by a compact to sustain monopoly rates and to cut the throat of patrons by pooling earnin, By this method the public is invariably robbed of all the advantages of parailel lines, and after subsidizing corporations to break down the extortions of others which have their hands on the throat of the mission 8o chosen 1s easily determined in advance. Congress has set out to over-ride their rights; and it is not Ppossi ble that others will respect their wlaims, however just they may be. capital to increase its value as a divi. dend earner and the tendency is no- where as strongly marked as in the management of our great railways, Ten capitalists virtually control nine- tenths of the entire railway system of the country, and through their subor- dinate managers dictate rates which fix the pricas on the food and clothing of a vast majority of our people. Rail- roads long ago became public necessi- ties and in their power of developing the country and opening up new sec- tions, public benefactors, The ne- cessity for their commercial use has brought with it the opportunity for gross abuses of the public on the part of their managers. And one of the grossest of these abuses 80 far as the public is concerned is the carry- ing out of the policy which places the roads above the ordinary laws of trade and tramples on a wholesome competi- tion in order to yield greater profits to avarice and larger returns to capital. Tt is abuses and tendencies like the one referred to which are re- sponsible for tho inceptions and growth of the anti-monopoly move- ment. The people wage no war against the railroads. They are op- posed to the prevailing policy of cor. poration management, which in the words of President Jackson in one of his veto messages “tend to make the rlch richer and the poor poorer.” Certainly that antagonism will grow none the less in magnitude or intensi- ty by the continual efforts of corpora- tions to monopolize every avenue of internal commerce. While human in- vention yearly reduces the cost of op- erating our railroad systems, the cor- porations alone are reaping a benefft, sume portion of which ought to be shared with the people. In this growing antagenism arises the necessity for su- pervision of the railroads by the state, The right of such control is now no- where disputed and its feasibility is to-day acknowledged by many of the heaviest owners of railroad properties in the country. — Tar London Garden, a leading agri- cultural authority, learns that in Eng- land the apple crop is comparatively a failure; in France a poor half crop is calculated upon; in Germany one- third crop only; in Holland only half a crop, and in Belgium not half a crop. Thus the prospects were never moro favorable for shipments from America to England than they aro this year. The American apple trade, formerly monopolized by Liverpool, has during the last fow years, in consequence of direct steam communication, been gradually diverted to London, which market now competes favorably with that of Liverpool. Uncle Sam seems rich enough to keep the world in ap- ples, as well as give them all a farm, Tre Omana Bek has not such a fol- lowing among Nebraska papers as it used to enjoy,—Grand Island Inde- pendent. Several morcenary political repro- bates like Hilton and Mobley have flupped, but that sort of following is not very desirable, Recent Constitution-Making. Philadelphia P Covstitution-making has been in steady progress in the United States for a century, culminating in three great periods of activity—at the closo of the revolutionary war, in the ten years just succeeding the war. Fach of these periods was marked by the adoption of a large number of impor- tant constitutions, bearing a family resemblance, and showing signs of a successive development in the concep- tion of the organic law of a state. In the years now passing project for con- stitutional conventions are pretty generally voted down, the last pro- posal negatived being in Kansas 1n 1881, and constitutional changes are chiefly minor amendments, ~rarely affecting the vital structure of state government, Mr, McPherson’s “‘Hand-book of American Politics,” shortly to be issued, gives, as usual, a comprehensive summary of state amendments pending and adopted during the past two years as well as federal amendments “before congress Experience has shown that nothing short of a civil war or a great national exigency is likely to work an amend- ment in the fundamental law of the Union, but this circumstance has lit tle effet upon congressmen who year- ly add to the long series of forgotten amendments which, bogun with the first session of the first congress, have continued ever since, and remain chjefly valuablo for the light they throw on current political theories, It is barely possible that the house will next winter pass tho senate law regu- lating the counting of the electoral vote, Morois not to be expected, and the amendments before congress, Mr. Hawmond, of Georgia, proposing throo vice presidonts s provide a secure succession, be Mr, Townsend of Ohio, for a direct election by the people, by Mr, Cravens, of Arkansas and Mr, Beltzhoover, of Pennsylvanist for an cxact arithiactioal apportion: went of the electoral vote by popula- tion, and by Mr, McCoid, of Iowa, continuing the tenure of presidential electors four years soas to havea body ready to fill vacancies, are as litte likely of adoption as Mr. Wallace's proposal in the last congress to choose electors by districts, or Senator Morgan's formal attempt to clothe congress with legislative power on the subject, Mr, Bayne, of this state, like Mr. White in the last congress, proposes to haye senators elected by the people; the former with a proviso for two addi- tional senators for the larger states, and Mr, Beltzhoover seeks to incor- | py, porate in the house the worst feature of senatorial tenure, a six-year term producer, it finds its time wasted and its money used only to fasten more strongly the chains upon states and communities, This isan era of combinations of in biennial sections, while Mr. Browne, of Indiana, asks for a house limited to 350 members. The civil service reform agitation has led to amendments by Mr. Pendleton for the election of all federal civil officers by the le of each district, and by Senator :;mrm of Mississippi, of these and the federal judicia Mr. Geddes, of Ohio, proj to make all nominations to the senate, and Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, seeks to limit the president’s power of re. moval to charges for cause, except in the case of heads of departments and bureaus. Prohibitory amendments have been presented by Senators Rol lins, Plumb, and Representati: Joyoe. Mr, Springer, of Illinois, relating claims to the courts has as little chance of adoption as the rest, baving been defeated, yeas 31, nays 48, tate amendments in the past two yoars have dealt chiefly with the judi- ciary and election laws. Misscuri submits to the people next fall an elaborate and somewhat novel judicial system, which, while it continues the curious independent judiciary en- joyed by St. Louis, provides for the rest of the rate a supreme court of six, instead of three as now, to be divided into civil and criminal branches, the former having superior jurisdietion, and the united court sit- ting in_ banc whenever the chief jus- tic certifies that the criminal side has ruled in law or practice contrary to past cases or the dccisions of the civil side, An attempt is made to divide peremptory writs of relief between the two courts, but experience will show the difficulty of these artificial distinctions in ihe application of law. The now supreme court in bancs is to hear appeals from the St. Louia_court of appeals, as from the criminal half of its own berch, 80 that Missouri will cesse, it this amendment is adopted, to present the anomalous spectacle of a state with two supreme court, Arkansas, in 1880, and Texas, in 1881, both voted down new judi- cial systems. West Virginia provided, 1880, for a jury of six, by consent, in clvil cases, and Iowa last year reduced and grand juries to from five to E;tenn members, and empowered the legislature to provide for indictment “‘in any criminal offonse, without the intervention of a grand jury.” Con- necticut, 1880, has vested the selec- tlon of higher judges in the governor and legislature: Iowa given the legis- lature the dangerous power of chang- ing districts at will instead of once 1n four years, and Maryland has changed the curious provision which gave any judge elected to fill a vacancy in the fteen yeoar judicial term, fifteen years to serve. Legislative powershave been sharply restricted in mnnefloh. 1881, by the usnal limitations on special legisla- the sixty-days’ limit on the session adopted in 1860 has been abandoned, and a stay put on sessions by paying members $5 a day; the pay has been 83 for only ninety days in future, Wisconsin in the same year decided on biennial sessions, and raised legis- lative pay to $500 a session, a sum which in frugal western states, is still the averago legislative pay, as it was in the east up to the close of the war, and a few years after. Maine, 1880, extended the term of its house of rep resentatives to two years; but the leg- islature sits annually. The solitary change made or proposed in the of- fico of governor is lis olection by a| X' plurality vote in future in the same state. Election law has received more than customary attention in the past two years, Indiana has moved out of the October states, and Iowa will do the same thing next fall, while the useful rovision requiring thirty days’ resi- Rt precinct was adopted by the former in 1882, Virginia passes next fall on the abolition of the poll- tax as a qualification for sufirage, Massochusetts last fall enfranchised pauper soldiers, Nevada has struck out the word “‘white” from its consti- tution, and, curiously enough, at an election, where Chinese immigration was overwhelmingly condemned, passed a provision which will permit naturalized Chinamen to vote. An amendment permitting female suffrage is pending between two Indiana legis- Iatures, as it is in Towa. Constitutional provisions relating to taxation ure usually brief and chiefly negative. Their amendments is rare, Minnesota has found it necessary to extend the right of municipal taxation —perhaps one should say confiscation —without regard to value and based on benefits conferred—to the con- struction of water works in towns of 5,000 inhabitants, a dangerous liberty, Kansas has refused to strike out the exemption of $200 of personal proper- ty now existing. Nevada has pro- hibited taxation for any but now sec- tarian purposes, and New York passes next fall upon an amendment which lays on taxation the burden ¢f muin- taining the canals end paying the canal debt. The economic effects of this measure are likely to make it the 1most important of all the amendments sammed up here, Prohibition, an issue whose rising importance ig little appreciated in the cast, has been placed in che organic law of two etates, Kansas and Lowa, and ic is pendivg in Indiana, Don't Want Any. g “Da you keep lawsuits hére!” asked a woman who entered the office of a Detroit justice of the peace the other day. “Do you want to sue anybody, madam?” “Yes, A noighbor of mine bought a calf of mo a year ago aud won't pay forit. Can't 1sue him without it costing me anything?’ Oh, no,” “Will it cost over fifty cents!” ““I think it will,"” “Well, if I pay you fifty cents and and give the constable twenty-five, will he pack the jury for me?” ‘‘Madam!” “Or I'll give you the whole 75 cents and you can decide in my favor,” “Madam, do you mean to insult this court?"” “I don't see any court here, You 'n me ain't no court,” “Madam! I shall not issue a sum- mons in your case!” ““You won't! Well, I don't want you to! If you can't talk without get- ting mad and wanting to snap a per- son’s head off yon can’t have my law suits to attend to, and I don't want any of your law!

It appears to be so completely over-awed in the presence of Valentine's sublime virtues that its recognition of merit doesn’t reach beyond him. In Janu- ary, 1876, when Fred Nye was ita editor, there appeared in The Tribune an article commenting on Mr. Crounse’s bill for redacing the U. P, bridge tarif. At that time, Fred prcbably had not dreamed of ever conducting the leading daily of the U. P.,and was consequently at lib. erty to think and free tv speak as he thought. Ihe following ia the article referred to: The people will forgive Dr. Miller for his sucden change of mind in re- gard tothe narrow-gauge railroad; they will forgive him for his_prejudice and wrongful attacks upon the pablic men and measures; but for this, his at- tempt to perpetuate an extortion which has bled the unfortunate state of Ne- braska to foster corruption too long, we hardly think he will be forgiven. The people of Nebraska understand this thing, They have become aware of the imposition and extortion which has been practiced upon them, and they are now ready and prepared to resent it In regard to the action of Congress- man Crounse, we have this to say: In introducing this bill he has done an act for which every intelligent voter in the state of Nebraska outside of Omaha will thauk him, and wesub- mit whether it was not the honest deed of an honest and unfearing ser- vant of a wronged people. The Omaha Herald will find that this last sample of its sublime toady- ism to Omaha and the U, P. railroad, and against the people of its native state, will have a more detrimontal effect upon it than any of its former mistakes and iniquities. We would like to know what has occurred to make Fred think that Crounse would not again make ‘‘an honest and unfearing servant?” Alexander’s Successor. Republican Vailey Echo, John Steen, postmaster at Wahoo, in Saunders county, and one of the strong men of the county, isa candi- date for secretary of state. Mr. Steen was one of the brave and fait! ful soldiers of the Twelfth Iowa in- fantry volunteers. It was in the camp, on the march and on many blood-stained battlefield, as well as in the prison pens of the south, when and where, side by side we stood, facing death and rebel guns for more than four years that we learned to love and admire John Steen. As a soldier he was brave, faithful and officient, and his excellent business tact and qualifications wero often called into service by his superior officer, Asa man he is genial and pleasant. We have watched his civil career for several years with interest and feel proud to say to our readers, that it too, has been a success He is a ropresentatiye of that large class of |, Nebraska's citizens, known as the Scandinavian element, and if they unite upon Mr. Stecn, and demand a | * place upon the state ticket, and he carries the county of Saunders, his claims will hardly be ignored. Neirther Falr Nor True. York Times, It is not fair for the editor of The Omaha Republican to say he has looked over a number of anti-monop- oly exchanges, secking in vain for 8 single argument or fact tending to show that railroad charges are too high, and that the legislature has the moral right to regulate them, and that they should be so regulated in this state, Itisnot fair nor is it true Anti-monopoly papers are full of facts, furnished Ey the acts of railroad com- panies themselves, and arguments that would and do convince thousands of thinking men, but to convince The Omaha Republican would perhaps re- quire pecuniary ‘“‘argument,” euch as is generally scarce with anti-monopoly editors. John Brown's Family. New York Eyening Post. We are able to present the follow- | ing authentic account of the condition of John Brown's family in California. The letter1s in answer toa private irquiry, induced by the movement now making to raise a fund for them: ““In answer to your injuiries concern- ing the tamily of the old hero and martyr Johu Brown I will say: reside on a wild mountain farm of 160 acres, mostly unimproved and unim- provable, located ten miles west of San Jose. The improvements con- siat of o few acres of clearing, & part of which is planted to fruit trees and vines; a listle cottage, costing a few hundred dollars, which was on the place when they bought it, & year and a half ago, and s little fencing. The p! cost th I believe, abont 00. When T first met the family. shortly after the pnrchase, and started a movement for their relief, they were ywing 81,000 on the place. They had no team, stock or farming imple- of any iud, and wer really in circumstances.

They are un- able to employ help, and Fnblin%:ar, the only man about the ranch, has been a school teacher, and is not much fitted for hard manual labor, They are excellent, most worthy people.” Use Redding's Russia Salve in the house and use Fedding’s Russiun Salve in the stable, Ty it.
