The true inwardness of their scheme was to secure the na. tlonal reservation for an enormous ‘monopoly In cattle ralsing, After this Uncle Rufas’ stinging articles on aunti- monopoly will fall coldly upon the public ear, COoxaress proposes, but the lobby disposes! The senate tarift bill, which made alight reductions in the enor- mous dutles on iron, is being violent- 1y opposed In the house by the repre- wentatives of the Iron and steel inter- ests, and there seems to be no hope of.its passage in its present form. Pennsylvania s flooding members with petitions and remonstrances, and plotares of closed mills and blown out farnaces are held up to the gaze of rep- resontations who hesitate to malntain the robbers’ schedule of exorbitant ratos on these articles. The iron Iin- dustry Is suffering heavily, but it s suffering not from apprehensions of a reduced tariff. Its presont depression 1s due to overproduction snd an ab- normal Increase in the cepacity for manufacture, This Is especially the case with mills for the production of railroad iron, Profits have been #0 enormous that two mills have been erected, where one would have been sufficlent for all the demands of the trade, and now that the rallroad con- struction s belug curtailed fallures are certaln to sccompany the desperate competition for orders. No fallure of the year can be traced to tariff agita- tlon, and the pretenses shows the desperate resorts to which the high tariff men are driven in thelr efforts to defeat any and every reduction on in.- ports, IRISH HOME RULE! The Republican, on Sundsy, in- formed its readers that the crown trials at Dablin indlcated clearly that Irlshmen were unfit to govern thelr own country, and that English officials and English methods must continue supreme at Dablin, what bearlng the agitation of the last three years has upon the question of the fitness or unfitness of the Irish people for self-government. If the agrarian revolt or the crime which has followed In its wake had been direct- od agalust Irishmen or an Irlsh gov- We fall to see 50 One Month.... 20 its plausibllity. Continued revolt against a popular government provided always that that government is one of the liberal tendencles may go far towards demonstrating the unfitness of the in. surrestionists for ltberal Institutions, Dissatisfaction and open or secret op- position to a rule which is repugnant to every Instinct of a people and whose object is to prevent a united nationality seoms to us to be no arga- ment against the fitness of the fnsur- rectionists to rule themselves. On the other hand it farnishes a strong presumption that they would be at least as successful in malntalning a stable government and protecting per- sons and property as the present re glme at Dablin castle. It 1s this very retusal of the orown to afford the Irish people a share in the making and enforoing of those lawas which affect thelr own Intereste, which has been chiefly responsible for the disorder and crime which has af- flloted Iteland ever since the repeal of the act creating the Irlsh parllament. The whole country has been over to the hands of foreign offictals whose only object has been to earn their salarles and protect the property of absentee iandlords by uphold- ing thelr extortions and crushing out all evidenoes of discontent. That they have falled to doso is only a proof that Irishmen protest against a wiping out of thelr nationality and refuse to surrender their claim to govern them- selves by laws of their own makiog sud enforcement. agltations with this object In view have been stamped out by armed force and the gallows, but the spirit which ani- mated the insurrectivniats of still powerfal in thelr sons, It has taken a different form in the agitation by the best of the Irish patriots English oppression has unfortunately for Ireland and her oause shown Itself in cowardly orimes like that in Pheonix Park, But it is the height of folly to charge the entire Ieish people with the madness of a band of secret Axsassina or to argue that beoause a grave and political orime has recently been committed in that country, her people are unfit to govern themaselves. If the Lord Lieu- tenant of Dublin Castle and the Secre- tary of State for Ireland had been Irishmen, and If an Irish parliament had been intrusted with the drafting of a law for the rellef of a plundered peasantry, the tragedy of Pheonix Park would never have taken place. With no apology for lawlessness, which exhibits itself In the garb of as: or of protest against tyrauny, used as the mask for murder and |incendlarism all the unforta- nate events which have accompanied the Land League sagitation, emphasize most strongly tho belief that Ireland will never be ruled by anything but foroe] until her people are allowed at ted home rule and a volos in their own government. — ‘WaiLe the complaints of hard times comos from one olass of our popula- tion, another class, the working men and the working women seem to be saving money at a rate which offers a strong argument against the reports of lack of employment, and which at the same time speaks well for the thrift of our wages earning class. 1o New York state the deposits of the saving banks have iacreased over twenty-four millions during the past fourteen milllons of which amouut is credited to New York city alone. In Massachusetis an inorease of eleven millions s noted In the de- posits of msavings banks, As four fitths of the depositsors of Bastern savings banks are working men and workingwomen the Increase of the accumulated oapital of wage earn- ors in these two states may safely be put down at $35.000,000, The intro- duction of savings banks in the United States took place in 1816, when the leglslature of Massachusetts granted a charter to an institution of this Since that time they have multiplied in every portlon of the country and have become pecu- liarly the depositories of the working At the present time between two and three millions of people, the larger portion of whom are dependent upon their wages for support, are counted as depositors in the savings banks of this country, and their de- posita reach the enormous total of nine hundred millions of dollars, These savings of the poor represent in nearly every Instance s thrift and economy which has accumulated capi- tal at the expense of indulgence. In this manner they have fortified them- selves agalost want In a time of adver- slty, and have lald the foundation of » capltal which, by and by, will fiad its use ln some of the numerous chan- class in Boston, THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA TUSDAY FEBRUARY 47 nels of business, Every saving bauk | seandalizes our courts and legislatares in & community is & bulwark agatne: extravagance, and, properly conduct- od, affords a wafe and certain road to- wards independence on the part of the depositors, — Tur Herald says that if $100,000 is voted for storm water sewer bonds, there will only be $33,000 avallable for paving purposes under our present law, which limits the bonded indebted- ness of cities of the first class to 10 per oent of the sssessed - valuation. Our present valuation is fully 50 per cent too .ow. Every sensible man knows that $7,200,000 does not rep- resent one-seventh of the actual value of property in this clty. The fact ia that all our heavy real estate owners sre virtuslly exempted from taxation n the greater part of thelr property. A falr assessmont would glve Omaha = taxable valaation of $15,600,000 and increase our debt limit to $1,5560,000. The next levy will be made In Jaly and will undonbtedly show an increase of $2,000,000 in our assessed valuation. This will enable the olty under the law to lssue addi- tional bonds when they are required amounting to $200,000. So that the objection/of The Herald has no weight. Omaha has been reckless in bonding herself for rallroad corporations and she can afford to be judiciously liberal In providing for public improvements which will bring in s direct return by enhancing the value of real estate and making our dlsgracefully muddy stroets passable, Forster was applauded loudly on his appearance in parlisment and con- gratulated over his escape from the Irish invincibles, An English official, nowadays, who Is fortunate enough to elude plots of assassination has good reason to congratulate himself, It is related of a land agent in Tipperary that he was shot at so often by the peasantry that they called him the Woodeook. A Monstrous Steal, 8t. Loufs Post-Dispatch. It is to be feared that durlng the last week of the sesslon congress will pass a bill which has been favorably reported conferring upon Jay Gould and 0. P. Huntington a free gift of ,000,000 acros of land valued at $256.000,000. Thls is the land grant which the Texas Pacific road may earn by extending its llne between the western boundary of Texas and the Pacific Coast, bat of which it has not earned an acre by building a single mile of the pro) extension, Ninety miles east of the western boun- dary of Texas the Texas Pacific met Huntington's Southern Paolfio and stopped there, Huntington's road was built from the eastern bound- ary of California through Arizona and New Mexico to a junction with the Texas Pacific in Texas, with the pro- oceeds of the gnn COentzal Pacific and Oredit Mol ;}u prolmlll: ofa dng? ul:uoi lnl::. ow 1t Propose: pendi bills to enable these to oonoll! date In such a way that the consoll- dated companies will be entitled to all the lands which the Texas Paclfio might have earned by bullding through to the Pacific, in addition to the lands nl!udJ granted to the Southern Pacific along its line in Cal- ifornia. The passing of such & blll would be & continuation of that most outrageous and disgraceful chapter of American history which records the dealings of the legislative, vxeoutive and judloial departments of government with the railroad corporations. In less than twonty years the latter were given over 200,000,000 of the people’s patri. mony, and all the provisions of the grants which seemed to forbld the conversion of this vast empire of land into a tax free land monopoly have been overruled and nullified by the supreme ocourt. That august body has twisted and turned its decielous and interpretations of law at the be- hest of the corporation monop- olists, untll it has made for itselt a record as indefensible as the dirtlest court that Tweed ever owned and controlled in his palmist days. Department rulings have been made inthesame shameless and defisnt spirit, by which the monopolists have bean enabled to gobble up sn illegal exoess of more than 10,000,000 acres of indemnity lands, and ail this has | 888l been done simply to enable a dozen self-oonfessed bribe glvers to amass In » h:v lynn over mow‘swol)osn&olo control pro wol ,000,- 000, sy Basoing ¢h depart ments of government and wlelding a pting and predatory power such | the oorruj a8 has never before been exerclsed by o0 on this earth.

In that case it might bring about that popular awakening which been so long expected in vain, But from ey- ery other polnt of view such an act of ocongress is to be deprecated. Every such gift has become an untaxable 1and monopoly and an engine of ocor- ruption, The only excuse for a land grant 1s to induoe the buildingof a road wherethere is none. Batin this case it is proposed to give 14,000,000 acres to a road already finished, built without such Inducement, promised or fmplied, and built with some of the,§45,000,000 which it was proved the Credit Mobll. ler fellows msade out of the former transaction similar to vhis. Another objection Is that we have already more than 100,000,000 acres of land with- drawn from sale and settlement on ac- ocount of the grants to railroads that never have been built and never will be. Some of there grants have stood thus for twenty-five or thirty years, and yet no law can be to re- store the people's right to occupy them, Last, bat not least, it is about time to exhibit lomthlnglih & qualm or spasam of decency, and to halt in this course of hea) wealth, power and upon money kin whose . undue influence notoriously was called to the rescue. oaucue, Blaine, Kelley, McKinley and others held a private consultation in ona of the cummittee rooms, was a conclave in the interest of pro- $octlon monopolists, it was not Inap- propriate that Mr James Parks, Jr., of Pennsylvania, should also be pres- nt to represent the wishes of the iron d steel manufacturers.
