Judge Lowell, of the United States circuit court of Massachusetts, holds that silver coins are required tg be of a certain weight and fineness, and are not a legal ten- der if they fall below the standard, “1f such a coin,’ he says, ‘‘has had an appreciable amount of silver removed from it we cannot say that it remainsa good coin for its original value or even for its proportionate value, If then the hole is plugged with base metal or with any substance other than sil- wver, theact is an act of counterfeiting, because it is making something appear to be & good coin for its apparent walue which was not so before.” The New York Sun | P 3 An objection {s made to Congress man Valentine by a certain “anti- monopoly” journal on the score that he has done nothing to lift the op- pressive burdens from the shoulders of the poverty-stricken farmers of Nebraska. Tt is too bad Tt is pass- ing strange that we can’t get a manin the house or in the senate who will take the proper care of these burdens. * * * * Last winter Van Wyck succeeded Paddock as senator, The certain anti monopoly journal was not dis- pleased with Van Wyck, and tince he has been eclected has supported him with more heartiness than 1t haa ever used in favor of any other man, What has Senator Van Wyck done with the burdens?! He has reinforced the work of Senator Saunders by doing noth ing with them, Active in every other way, he has been insctive in this, Republican There ara nope so blind as those who will not see. Valentine has been in congross three years and a half. Senator Van Wyck has been there a littlo moro than a year. Up to this day Valentine has not fathered any measuro tending o af- ford relisf to the producers of the country, cither by reducing taxation or setting a limit to the exactions of corporate Van Wyck had not been in the senate sixty days bills for the re monopolies. beforo he introdu lief of the farmers that had been de- frauded by the St. Joe and Denver land gran:, and by his vigorous efforts ho has sceured the relief that for years had been vainly songht by hun dreds of our most thrifty settlers, He has pursucd tho same courss toward the settlers in Towa, whose lands had been wrongfully claimed by a land grant ring. When it was proposed to postpone much needed reductions in the tariff onj articles in general use by the people by appointing the tariff commiesion, Gen- eral Van Wyck opposed the commission al every step, voting both against the bill and the confirmation of the commission. On the other hand, Valentine voted to continue the heavy bardun.impomd on farmers by supporting the tariff commisston bill Only last week Senafor Van Wyck wont upon the record as the consistent opponent of monopoly in a measure that touches not ouly Nebraska, but the whole country. A bill to en- courage and promote telegraphic com- munication between America and Eu. rope was reported by the committeo on foreign affsirs through Senator Lapham. The following extracts from the Congressional Record of Auguss 4 explain the position of Sonator Van Wyck in relation to corporate abuvses: Mr Van Wyck-—I have fell that in this bill there is no protection where is needed, Tt secms to me it is orgai- izing another tclegraph company to combine the future with another tolegraph company, and tha peoplo will recoive no bencfis at all from the combination, and the company will in- crease the rates just as land telegraph companies do. Mr. Windom—If the senator has felt that, he has felt 1t without having read the bill. Mr. Van Wyck —Very likely. I want to see it Mr. Windom - If the senator will look he will find that this bill does rovide against all those things, that it prohibits the watering of stock, pro- hibits combinations, authorizes the secretary of state to fix the rates for the government, end provides that congress shall hereafter have author- ity to puss a general bill regulating rates, and it in every way conforms to what I know to be the wishes of the senator. Mr. Van Wyck—My friend says the rates for the government are fixed; are the rates for individuals fixed? Mr. Windom—I say the bill ex- pressly reserves the right of the gov- ernment to fix the rates by a general bill. Mr. Van Wyck—I want to say to my friend that although the right to fix rates affocting the public may be reserved, it will amount to nothing. You resorved in 1864 that right over the national railroad lines to the Pa- cific, and you have never exescised it to this day. Mr. Windom--The senator would hardly expect to have everything pro- vided for in this bill, in the last days of the session, Mr. Van Wyck—I prefer to have the rates fixed now in this bill, and when the rates are fixed I shall have 1o objaction to the bill, . The President pro tempore—ub- jection being mede, the bill goes over, Mr. Morgau—1 should like to say to the sonator from Nebraska before this bill goes out of reach that T think it is the most important bill in refer- enco to the trans.oceanic telegraph buginess ever presented to the senate, and it will bring down the rates of tolegraphing to ten cents a word if we oan pass tho bill. Mr, Van Wyck—Will you put in the bill whal the rates shall be? Will you fix the rates in the billz Whilo wo fave been organizivg tolographs tpon the land the rateshavebeon continually incrensed; and now T ask tho gentle- men to designate a list of rates in this bill, A lively debate followad. During the debate Me, Hale, of Maine, offered an amendment to limit the cable rate to twenty cents per word, 'This was accepted by Somator Van Wyck but objected to by Mr, Lapham, The debate then proceeded as fol- lows: Mr, Van Wyck—I ask the senator from New York if he will include the amendment of the senator from Maine, or rather if he will protect the public in the same way that he will protect the government, by saying tne rates shall not exceod twenty cents per word! Mr, Lapham-I am not authorized by the committee to accept the amendment. Mr. Van Wyck—1f the senator will do that and protect the public, then I shall have no objection, Mr, Bayard—I suggest to the sena- THE DAILY BEE--~OMAHA WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, tor from Nebraska that the protection does exist when you expressly reserve the right to fix the rates by general aw. I know very little of the cost of this business, but when you re. serve the right to fix by general law AHK'(‘XN‘II can be prevented. r. Lapham —We do fix the rato as to the government, Mr. Van Wyck — My answer to that is, as I said before,that it is no protec- tion to the publie, In 1864 you pro- tested the public by reserving the right to congress to regulate the rates on the Pacific railroads. That never has been done, Mr. Bayard—Does not my friend | think that competition is the best reg- | ulation? | Mr. Van Wyck—We have been told ‘llm' would be the effect of competi- | tion in regard to our land telegraph lines, and yet every organization of a new company under the competition is absorbed by the old one, and the public suffer by the watering of the stock in the increased rate of charges. Ieay tomy friend that will be so | here. 1f you intend to protect the public as you claim you are willing to | do, do it here and now by sayiog to | the pudlic they shall be protected in the same way that we protect tho gov- ernment, and make it twenty cents a word, Mr. Hale--Let me ask the senator if wo have not had the same expe- rience in regard to competition not only on Iand telegraphs but *on sea telegraphs? We charterod a cable ympany with the 1dea that competi- tion would keep down tho rates, and the last.company charterod was oper- ated for o time, but when they were consoiidated within the last two months the rates were at once put up from twenty five cents to fifty cents a word, 80 that competition does not ac- complish the result. Cempetition runs for a while, but amalgamation is the end of competition, 1 agree tully with the senator from Nebraska that here and now is the place in which to put the limit that shall be charged upon this ltne for public or private messages, and if we do not do it now we never shall do it. Mr. Van Wyck—Never. The President pro tempore--Tho senator from New York asks for the consi teration of the bill. Does the senator from Nebraska object? Mr. Van Wyck--I do, The President pro tempore--Objec- tion being made, the bill goes over. The outcome of this contest was that the committee on foreign affairs agreed finally to limit the cable rate to twenty cents per word. and the bill will doubtless pass in that shape. This is the ficst time within the last twonty years that a limit has been fixed by covgress in the charges of the telegraphic companies to the public since the Pacific telegraph charter of 1862, When the new cabte is completed compe'ing lines will kave to reduce their ratos to meet the rate fixed by congress, and the patrons both in this sountry and Burops will reap the beu- ofit of Sanator Van Wyck's effort, not meraly fora day or a year, but as Tong as tho cable remains in operation, Will the champion of Valentine and defender of monopolies, still contend that General Van Wyck has done nothing and is_doing nothing toward lifting the burdens from the shoulders of the people? ADJOURNED AT LAST. There will be very little regrot ex- pressed throughout the country over the fival adjournment of congress. The last three months of the session have been spent in profitless discus- sion, filibustering and vote dodging. The closing days witnessed the passage of the long delayed appropriation bills, and the engineering over the presi- dent's veto of the greatest log rolling steal in. h> records of the national logislature. If both the senato and house had done their duty the country might havo been spared the exponso of a continuance of tne session beyond the first of June, Neither of the political parties would have lost any- thing by the move. It is usual with congresses as with logislatuces to declare that each is worse than tho last. While the pres- ent congress has failed signally in the performance of duties which the pub- lic demanded and which the leaders of both parties promised at the begin- ning of the session, its work taken all in all has not fallen behind the achieve- ments of its predecessors, of substantial measures have been placed upon the statute books. Among these are the following: the appor- A number tionment, fixing the membership of the house for the next ton years at 325; the Chinese restriction bill, which prohibits the importation of coolie la- bor into the United States; the bill authoriziug national banks to extond their chartors for twenty yoars with | proviso for the issus of three per cent bonds and for the granting of certifi cates on the doposit of gold coin; a bill creating a tarift commission of nine persons; u bill establishing a board of Utah; a bill providing for the distribution of the Genova award; a measure reg- ulating the transportation of passen- gors by sea and imposing a head tax of fifty cents for each immigrant, and a bill revising tho dutios on kit {goods. Al these measures having been passed by both houses have ro- coived the executive approval and be- come laws, Many weasores remain pending in committees of either the senate or the house, haviug boen passed by one body. Among these are the Japanese indemuity bill; the bill to reduce tax- ation; to create a court of appeals; to place General Grant on the retired list; to admit Da- kota into the union, the bill to regulate the mode of counting the electoral vote, and last, but not least, olection commissioners for our Val's bill to create a eabinet office for the man at the head of the garden sass bureaun. The postal savings bill, the bankruptey, educational, inter- state commerce and Hawaiian re- ciprocity bills, though considered in committees, have not been touched by either house, It is worthy of notice that private jobs have fared very poorly with the present congress, The closing hours of the session have been free from the usual disgraceful scenes in which the private calendar was cleared of the most disreputable claims amid the smoke and disorder attending ad- journment. If many of the most im- portant measures have remained un- touched, fow objectionable bills out- raging the good sense of the country, the river and harbor steal alone ex- copted, have run the gauntlet of both houses. The nation might have gone farther than the present congross and fared worse. The oven balance of politicak partics has made individual and party re- aponsibility loss. rentees Where a few ab- pair will change the entire tenor of a vote, congressional cowardice is always at a premium. To this was largely due the lack of determined and positive action on the part of both serate and house in regard to the great questions of the tariff and tax reduction. Aud the foeling that neither party could be made to bear the odiumof the passa of the harbor bi!l oyer the presi veto was undoubtedly responsible for the final succees a) measure which democrats and re; , ‘cans alike voted to secure. The first sessic the present con- gress will doubtless be blamed more than for any one other delinquency for their failure to deal squarely and honestly with the question of re. ducing the taxes. It was a delatory and cowardly policy which passed over the final adjudication of this sub- ject to the next seesion after pro- tracting the meeting of both senate and house for at least a month longer than was necessary on the pretext of finally disposing of the revenue re- duction bill. But as we said before congress might have done much worse under its present composition and the nation may be profoundly thankful that they have adjourned with so lit- tle damage done to the countrys in- terest. or a convenient Tue last appropriation bill passed congress on Saturday night and com- pleted the list of fourteen which are neceeeary to the maintenance of the various departments of the govern- ment, There is a substantial increase in the tatal of appropriations over last year, and a st Il more marked showing when a comparison is made with 1881, Two years ago the total appropriations for the geueral government were $190,000,000. Last year they mounted to $216,694,388, and this year they have been ' swelled to the sum of $293,6565.49. The in- crease over last year's appropriations is $76,861,101, From this, in jus- tice, must be deducted $32,000,000, the increase in pensions demanded by the enlargement of the scope of the arrears bill, and $29,000,000 in de- ficiencies left as a legacy by the last democratic congress. Of the $15,- 000,000 remaining, $9,000,000 aloue is credited to the river and harbor bill, leaving $6,000,000 to be dis- tributed among the other departmonts of the service, Under any other circumstances than a treasury overflowing with the re- sults of excessive taxation such enor mous oxpenditures would arouse a storm of indignation among tax pay- ers, Even in the present condition of the treasury they are indefensible. The fifteen millions of unnecessary appropriations represent fifteen mil- lions of dollars unrecessarily ex- tracted from the pockets of the per ple of the country, The nation wil learn after a few wore such experi- encts what an enormous treasury sur- plus is & constant incentive to ex- travaganco and jobbery, —_— Tuk straddle of the Iadiana demo- crats on the prchibition question docs not ploase the Hoosier saloon keepere, They complain that Hendricks and | McDonald pray with the pious and | drink with the dry, and that appsoval of sumptuary legislation does notscem to be confined to the republican party, The Inside of fow York Politice. New York Coresepondenc s Ol cinuatl Commer Within the past wock there have been certain developments, in the way of wovements, which will exert a pow- erful influenca upon the politics of this to. For the past month the nom on of Cornell has been concedgd by nearly everybody, but, suddeuly a change has taken place and the Gov- ernor's renomination has become a matter much in doubt. The Admin- istration has taken a direct handin the politics of our State. This may be deniod, but it is a fact nevertheless, Duriug the whole summer the politi- cal workers, who follow, and have fol- low.d for many years, the political fortunes of the President, have waited with no little impatience a sign from Washington, which would indicate the polioy to be pursued by the distine- tively Arthur Stalwart wing. And while they waited thoy watched with manifest displeasure the work the Cor- nell adherents were doing, unobstruct- ed by organized opposition. The long session of Congress has been an embarrassment to the President, so far as New York politics were concerned, but the time was come, if Cornell was to be prevented from walking off with the gubernatorial cake again, when interference must take place, 8o, notwithstanding con- gress was in session, the order was passed along on Friday last to spring to and array all the torces of opposi- tion against the governor, Yesterday morning John J, O'Brien, chief of the burean of elections in New York City, ove of the most devoted of the presi- deni’s adherent, as well as one of the shrewdest political workers in the state, returned from Washington, hearing the plan of campaign and the instructions to the other leaders of the Arthur stalwarts. Thers had been previously some effort made to combine the half-breeds and the stal- warts of the Arthur stripe upon a candidate, This failed. Had it not been for Roscoe Conkling, perhaps, a combination upon Congressman Wads- worth, who, by the way, is the strong- est republican in the state, might have been effected. The hatred be- tween Conkling and Wadsworth is intense, and antedates Wadsworth's prominence in politics, Finding a combination upon any one candidate impossible, it was agreed that both factions should enter into the field and secure candidates to the state conven- tion independent of influence and pladged only to vote agaiust Cornell. And with this understanding the work has begun. Tho administration takes a dircot hand in the fight, and snacguence is to make what but a week ago seemed absolutely certain extromely doubtfu!--Cornell's nomi- nation. Coincidont with this direct action of the administration is the ap pointment of Michasl 8. Dady, of Brooklyn, by the president to be supcrintendent of the public buildings of the cast, Dady's appointment is 4 matter of the greatest surprise to the politiciaug, forlie hus ot hitherto been considered a man of power or promi- nence. But a short time ago he was principally known as onoof *“Al.” Dag- wett’s chief “‘heelers,” and that con. stituted his solo claim to celebrity. Later he quarreled with his chief, and since has been conspicuous because of his virulent opposition to the ex- sheriff aud ex-weighing contractor. Daggett about three weeks ago sud- denly turned to be an_aggressive sup- porter of Cornell. He expected to bring with him a_large following to the governor, but in this he was mis- taken. Dady, in the meantime, be- came a bitter opponent of Cornell, and has been engaged in endeavors to defeat Daggett’'s aims in those dis- tricts over which the latter is sup posed to have control. Herein, then, lies the explanation of Dady's ap- pointment. Congress has passed a law authorizing the ernction of a new United S.ates building in Brooklyn. This witl give Dady patronago ri away in that city to assist him in his war against Dagett and Cornell, so that it is one of the first indications of adminiatrative action in the Cor- nell contest. The Arthur stalwarts are already claiming that tho governor will not be able to control more than one-third of the delegates to the state convention. This body is composed of four hun- drad and cighty-zight delozates, and two hundred and forty-five are neces- sary toschoics. Of the four huudred and eig ight, oue hundred and twenty-five come from New York .ty and Brooklyn, and the opponents of Jurnell boldly assert that one hua- red of this number will be found in implacable opposition to the Gover- uor, ard this claim is not ill founded. Cornell’s strength lies in the country districts, and it is there that the Gov- ernor has put in his hardest work, - It will require something more than mere assertion to make people believe that, as the opposition claims, every county in the State containing a large city will be against a nomination. There is justice ‘n the claim that the gover- nor has ohtained a fictitious strength by having the field to himself for so long a (ime, and while I am not will- ing to admit to myself tbat he is beat- en yot, as they claim, I am quite cer- tain that Cornell’s renomination is_no longer a foregone conclusion. For the first time the half-breeds and the stalwarts of the stalwarts are shoal- der to shoulder, working for the same end, There is little talk as yet as to who will be the nominee in the case of Corneil’s defeat: Such names as are meutioned are Congressman James W, Wadsworth, Attorney General Rus- sell, Congressman Richard Crowley and ex-Tnsurance Superintendent O, W. Chspman. It will not be sur- prising if 1t be the latter, for he is a cross between a half-breed and a stal- wart—a sort of man compromises fall upon, Another development has been the issue of a call for a convention of the labor men, This is an important movement, for in it and the auti-monopoly agitation lies the sveceas or fatlure of the two old parties. organization of la- bor in this state is more thorough and complete than it has ever been before. 1t is quite certain that this conven- tion of labor, which is to meet in Buf- falo ou Septomber 12, will represent a voting strength of at loast fifty thous- aud. Seventj-five per cont. of this vote 18 democratic. 1f the conven- tion, which is instructed to take into question the advisability of putting a ket into the field, and if deecmed advisable 1o nominute it, should go into independent existencs, the democeratic pariy is ruined from the beginning, for it can uob possibly sus- tain the withdrawal ot thirty-five tnousand votes, The democrats rarely learn anything from the lessons of the past In 1877 tho labor parly put a ticket in the fiell, and without a dollar in tho treasury to aid in the canvass, polled 30,000 votes. That year the democratio party bavely escaped de- feat. In 1878 labor combined with the greenbackers, cast 75,000 votes and beat the democrats woefully, There is littlo greenback vote in the stato apart from labor, and this then may be called a labor ackievement, In 1879 the labor men opposed to goy- ern Robinson’s canal and state prisons contract system, cast in their lof with Kolly and took 77,000 votes from the democrats. Without organization or spocial effort, in 1880 they cust over 20,000 votes, and beat Hauncock in this state, In 1881 they aided agaiu in democratic defeat by casting 16,000 in conjunction with the greenback party, The separation from the greenback party is practically complete now and all the labor represented therein, is represented by a handful of communists who carry with them no voting strength. The greenback part, has fallen under the control of a fel- low named George O, Jones, whose | them to” have w life has been spent as & lobbyist either at Albany or Washington, and who uses the party for trading with one or other of the two older ones for his own benefit. His control over what in left of the greenback party is abso- late, and it is astonishing that he can bamboozle the honest old farmers in the way he does. However they will cast, notwithstanding labo: has gone into indepandent political existence, at least nfteen thousand votes, and that is a liberal estimate. The important development has been that the antimonoplists will go into the field with a ticket for Gov- ernor. There is in this organization a strength of one hundred thousand. This ia not speculative, but is the number of the membership of the branch leagues established in the one hundred and twenty-eight assembly districts of the state. It is safe to say that sixty per cent. of this strength | was democrativ. Now take the Tam- many contingent, and the difficulties in the way of the democratic suc are apparent. There are indications going to show that the anti-mmopo- tlsts will support the labor ticket, if the Buffalo convention nominates a man satisfactory to the league for governor. And there are indications showing that thelabormen are anxious to find that man, 1f that is done Tammany Hall will undoubtedly support that ticket. The democrats can achieve success by adoptig the candidate of these outside eloments, That they will do £o is yresup ) d - brai They will luse the fortheoming el on and their charces in 1884, cau-o the situatioa this autumn will present a glorions opportunity for committing a stupendous blunder. The present indications, therefore, are that the republicans will nominate a nan to whom the railroad interests can give their individual and powerfu! support; and that the democrats will nominate a candidate unsatisf.ctory to the anti-monopolists and the labor- ing man, thus alienating a hundred and fifty thousand votes, and putting thereby at least two other candidates in the field. Unless the signs change New York state is_eafe to the republi- cans for 1882 and 1884, Land League Fair. The Omaha Land League met on Sunday at the ¥ C. L.
