McCrary, judge of the United States cir- cuit court, is an event which the people of this section have great reason to de- plore, Judge McCrary is one of the fow men in America who, through a long carcer in public life, has preserved a name unsullied by even the tainted breath of suspicion. In congress, in cabinet councils, and on the bench, Judge Mec- Orary has always discharged the most re- sponsible of trusts with a rigid honesty which disarms suspicion and inspires un- bounded confidence. In congress his voico and vote were always against overy joband in favor of every measure that was designed to further the public wel- fare, were pending to restrict monopolies and check land-grabbing, Mr. McCrary was On various occasions, when bills among their foromost champions and supporters. On the bench Judge Mo- Orary has been the bulwark of the peo- ple against corporate aggros- sion and greed, He was a judge who, in meting out justice, hewed to the line, and let the chips fall where they might. With such men on the bench there was at least one tribunal to which the people might ap- peal for justice and equity with con- fidence. And now Judge McCrary gives up his life position on the circuit bench —from which he had every reason to be- Bridgeport, and to preserve to Bridge- port and others the advantage of reason- ablo rates for freight and passage be- tween said cities " The boss showman is anti-monopolist to the last. THE BURLINGTON. The managers of the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy do not appear alarmed over the grand combination that has been made by the Union Pacific in conjunction The Burlington system is a grand combina- tion within itself. It is not in the con- dition in which with the Towa and Missouri roads. the Union Pacific finds itself since it has been cut off from a great part of the through traflic by the comple- tion of other Pacific railroads. The owners of the Burlington systom have not been mere Wall street speculators, intent only upon immediate gain and in- different to the future. They built a solid foundation for their system by adopting a policy that insured for their road a profitable traffic. Their immense land grant in Iowa and Nebraska has been disposed of mainly to actual set- ARY, 2, 1884, B ————— S ———— tariff in compliance with the demand of the people. The Des Moines Register is taking the Chicago Tribune to task for its advoeacy of a rodified tariff, The Register, in order to show the inconsistency of the Tritmne, quotes from an editorial of that paper cighteen years old, which said “‘every time the country has tried pro- toction it has onjoyed commercial pros- perity and rapid growth in national wealth,” In reply the Zribunc says: “The subsequent experience of e teen years of high protection has forced the editor of the Zribune to revise that opinion. When the remarks were made the high protection system was in its early youth; it was then barely begun, and the country was feeling a stimulati akin to that of a man with a big dram of | whisky in him, the effect of which was mistaken for strength and prosperity. Wo have learned something from thesub- sequent effect of eightoen years of high protection, if the Register has not. We have scen the country swept dnring these years of ultra protection by the worst panic that has ever deso- lated our industries, We saw it recover after six yours of prostration, not by pro- tection, but by good crops here and a tlers upon very favorable terms* Asa consequence the whole region which their lines traverse is dotted with pros- perous towns and cities. The local traffic built up by this far-sighted policy is now the back-bone of the Burlington system, and with that immenso traffic clined. The old is dead, and we'll let the dead rest. Ir seems that the Omaha belt liners have been transierred to (irand Island, where they are indulging in their usual pastime of Sunday track-laying. «(AVER in the history of Ohio has a U. S. Senttor been elected by money. But there are democrats who propose to in- augurate a new era,—[Cincinnati Com- mercial-Gazette. ‘What, never? Well, hardly ever. 81, Louis is a holiday city.

How coulr‘l‘m: Ber make respect- ful reference to an individual whom no- body respects ? Pappy Ryax says that he proposes to whip Sullivan the next time he moets him in a saloon. If he meets him in the street he will probably let him severely alone. Paddy reminds one of a cyclone. He's a blow-hard, Tae only place where the signal ser- vice 18 a success is in Omaha. The sig- main chance and his pregnostications are rvgulated by the political barometer, which hangs in the editorial sanctum of The Omaha Herald. NorwiTHsTANDING the heavy draft which will be made during the presi- dential campaign upon the nail industry to nail campaign lies, the nail factories are to be closed for six months. The overproduction of nails must be some- thing enormous. Viruaxp has been taken sick and has resigned the presidency of the Northern Pacific. When the storm which has been raging on Wall street blows over, Villard will probably be on deck again. “‘When the devil was sick, The devil a monk would be, ‘When the devil got weil, Devil a monk was he,” 1z is said that it cost one Boston Al derman 3,000 to secure a nomination from the democrats, and that from $1,000 to $3,000 was expended by other alder- men to secure an election. In Omaha next spring it may cost some councilmen leas than $300, They may be able to se- cure & nomination, but they will not get within forty miles of an election. CononessMaN Lamp wasa soldier in ¥itz.-John Porter's corps at the second battle of Bull Run, From a personal knowledge of the events that transpired in that memorable campaign Mr. Laird has alWays been of the opinion that Fita- John Porter was wrongfully dismissed from the army, This was the opinion of nearly the rank and file of the corps led by Fitz-John Porter, and it is the opin- ion of the editor of Tue Bex who was with Pope's staffl from the Rapidan to Bull Run, And now the Lincoln Journal notifies Mr., Laird, who has expressed himself in favor of doiug justice to Fitz- John Porter, that it will not do, begause thesoldier sentimentin the second district is against Porter. This is decidedly re- reshing. Mr, Laird, from personal knowledge, believes it to be his duty as congressman to right a wrong, but he is asked not to do so, because some of his constituents, who know nothing about the mattor except from hearsay, have been prejudiced against Fitz-John Porter. This is ona par with the high wmoral standard which The Lincoln Jour- nal usually maintains, Mr, Laird has his faults, and we are not partial to him, but we do not belieye him capable of such selfishness, General Grant, 'whose loyalty nobody will dare question, has become convinced that Fitz John Porter hus suffered great injustice Gen- eral (irant has had the manliness to make amends for his own short-coming in re- fusing to grant Fitz John Porter a re- kgaring, by asking the American people 10 do him justice oven at this late day. Mr. Laird will have an illustriousexample in acting upon his own convictions of jus- tive and right in the premises, whother the soldiers in his district spprove it or \ liove that he would in due time be pro- moted to the supreme court—to become the general attorney of the Atchison, Santa Fe & Topeka Railroad company. Whether that company has engaged Judge McCrary because of his high legal abilities and experience, or whether its design is to get a man off the bench whose decisions it could net influence, is problem: Judge McCrary is no doubt an able jurist, but there are just as able jurists in the country ready to enter the sorvice of a great corporation. Why then should the managers of the Atchi- son, Topeka & Santa Fe take the judge from the circuit in which the greater part of their road is located, and who doubt- less had to pass upon pending litigation, involving millions, in which the road was interested? Is not the inference nat- ural that Judge McCrary has bean ten- dered a much higher salary than he now roceives, as an inducement for him to va- cate the bench, so that some pliant friend of corporate monopolies may be elevated in his place! Judge McCrary is the sec- ond judge of this United States circuit court who has voluntarily given up a life position on the bench to become counsel- or of a great railroad corporation. His predecessor, Judge Dillon, it will be re- membered, resigned to accept the posi- tion of chief consulting attorney of the Union Pacific railroad. In his ca:e there was no cause for lamenting among the people. But the fact that judicial officers in our highest courts find it their advantage to leave the bench to become corporation attorneys is very suggestive. The people of the United States must place their judges above such temptation. In the first place five thousand dollars a year, the pay of a circuit judge, is not enough for a man of the highest logal ability and approved integfity. The salaries of our judges should be raised to correspond with the income of the most eminent members of the legal pro- fession, In the next place congress should limit the salary which any public corporation shall pay to its officers. The extravagant salavies which railroad cor- porations now pay are demoralizing other branches of business as well as tho public service. The salary of a congress- man or United States senator is only $5,000 a year. Thachief justice of the U. 8. supreme court gets only §8,000 a year, The governors of the states receive only from $2,000 to $06,000 a year. Bnt a railroad pool commissioner is endowed with a salary of $15,000, and some rail- way managers aro paid as high as $30,- 000 a year. Now, it will be claimed that the railroad companies may do what they please with = their own money., We deny it. The money which railroad companies pay to their managers is wrung from the people by arbitrary taxation in the shape of tolls. The peoplo have chartered these corpo- rations, The people maintain them, and the people should have the right to limit their expenditure, not only in the inter- est of stockholders, but of their patrons. A fow years ago §5,000 was regarded as a high salary for any railroad officer. Now, they range from 815,000 to $30,- 000, No wonder, then, that judges will resign from the bench, and senators de- sert their oushioned soats, as Gordon of Georgia did, to accept positions as rail- road attcrneys and managers. 1f this system of hiring judges and senators with the people's money is carried on much longer by the railway barons, this country will soon be transformed into a dominion of the railway kings with the people as mere vassals. Banxus has at last made his will, but in this as in all things, Barnum is bound to have the greatest show on earth. The purchase of the white elephant from the Burmese®king is, after all, not to re- main the crowning glory of a well spent life. Barnum’s will is & great curiosity within itself. It covers more than 700 pages of legal cap closely written, and disposes of §10,000,000 in real and per- sonal property, His interest in the show business is estimated at 83,500,000, One of the provisions of his will is a deed to the city of Bridgeport of the only waterfront in that city not already seized by private corporations. On this water- front there is & dock worth §30,000, His executors are forbidden to lease the waterfront, his object beiug, as the will recites, “‘to prevent a monopoly of the freight and passenger traflic by any one line of steamors between Now York nndl they can defy all opposition. The rev- enue which would be allotted to it by the Union Pacific pool,as its proportion of the through business would be a mere baga- telle to the Burlington. It can exist comfortably without it, and take its chances of getting whatever traffic would be consigned to it by through shippers in the east and west. It cer- tainly could not afford to exchange seven- eighths of its local Nebraska business for one-eighth of the through Union Pacific business. There is another view to take of this pool problem, which may influence the managersof the Burlington read. Bykeep- ing out of the pool, they are certain of the lion’s share of the business at com- peting points, because the shippers would naturally be in sympathy with the road that fights its own way. By extending their system through the morthern half of the state, which covers the greater area than the section south of the Platt and is bound to be more populous, the Burlington will have additional feed- ers from which its main line will secure an immense traffic at much better rates than they can get when handling through freights. They will tap not only a prolific agricultural region north of the Platte, but a section that will graze vast herds of "cattle and sheep. 1f they got the haul of one-fourth of the live stock and grain north of the Platte they willearn more than by carrying one- eighth of the whole Union Pacific busi- ness. It is evident that the Burlington managers are determined to extend their system into the North Platte country, They have already begun work by locat- ing the extension of their system to Grand Island, and are securing the right of way through Grand Island itself. From that point they will doubtless ex- tend into the valley af the Loup, and finally into the Niobrara cattle region with a probable extension through the Black Hills into the Laramie valley. This is only the natural result of the ag- gressive policy of the Boston capitalists who have built the Burlington system, slowly but with a solid backing of lecal development. Tt is also almost a foregone conclusion that the Burlington system will have its own outlet to the Pacific coast, whether it builds an independent trunk line, or Roes into a close combination with the Central Pacific. While we have no means of knowing what policy the Burlington will pursue with regard to Omaha, we would not be surprised if it should bring its eastern traing directlyjinto this city by way of Piattsmouth. Sucha move would be a master stroke in case it decides to main- tain its independence. While tho other roads would be compelled to fol- low, the greater part of the local business of Omaha would be given to the Burlington in preference to the pool lines. The good will of Oma- ha is worth a great deai to any railroad, and the Burlington never had a better opportunity to secure it. TIMES HAVE CHANGED, There was a time when a high protec- tive tarifl wasa good thing, It aided materially in developing and building up American industries, and in producing a much needed revenne. This was during the war, and the inflation period just fol- lowing. Times have long since changed. Our infant industries have become full grown; and a high protective tariff only stimulates over production and monop- oly. Asa source of rovenue it has be- come unnecessary, and its continuance would be a robbery of ths many for the benefit of the very fow. High tariff' will no longer keop the wheels of industry in motion, because the stoppage of eur great faotories is due mainly to over- production. There is a surplus of $806,000,000 in the treasury, and it would not do to abolish the whisky and tobacco tax, and keep up the high tariff' on sugar, lumber, and other articles that the farmer and laborer are compelled to use, No sensible man advocates free irade We want to maintain the tavifl' on lux- uries like diamonds, silks, velvets, jew- elry, and articles that are used mainly by the wealthy. We should maintain a reasonable taviff on every commodity | whose manufacture s yet unde- veloped and requires o stimalus The general sentiment throughout the | country is in favor of & wmodified tariff, and there is no doubt that congress will high market abroad for the immense sur- plus which the much-boasted ‘‘home market” of the protectlonists could pot absorb. We have reen the recovery of a few years ago brought about by the farmers, followed by the relapse in which our over-stimulated industries are now trembling, and which may go no one can tell how far. The most striking feature of the present depression is the stoppage of production and the cutting down of wages and the discharge of workingmen by tens of thousands in in- terests which twenty-two years of high Frumctiun, if it could do anything,should hAve set on a basis of enduring prosper- ity. Inview of the experience of the Inst eighteen years a man’s tariff opinion of 1865 is out of date.” LR T A verTRR from the register and receiv- er of the Beatrice land office which we print in another column explodes the al- legation made in certain quarters that the Otoe reservation lands were fraudulently disposed of through collusion by the land office, with an organized ring of land sharks.

Interesting Points in Connection With the New Congress. The following ‘‘curious facts from the congressional directory” are published in the Washington Star: Of the twenty- six senators who were aworn in at the be- ginning of the present session only twelve are new to that body. The other four- teen were simply continued in the sena- torial harness by re-clection. Mr. Mor- rill remains the patriarch of the senate, though his colleague, Mr. Edmunds, looks older and is invariably taken for the oldest member in thebody. Mr. Kenna, of West Virginia, is the junior mem- ber, and is, perhaps, the youngest man who ever attained the dignfied and ex- alted position of senator. When elected he was not 35 years of age. Senator Anthony ranks all others in point of ser- vice, having now entered upon his fifth erm. Senator Edmunds has been re- elected three times and Messrs. Bayard, Saulsbury, Ransom and Morrill have each been twice re-elected. Kentucky furnishes more sons to the present sen- ate than any other state. Eight nativo ALY JOTTINGS, PLATTSMOUTH.

The Journal says the latest celebration was at the residence of Mr. A. McLaughlin. That gentloman's anniversary was the 18th of Sep. tember, but having a new house in process of construction the event was put off until last Friday, when the illustrious five and their re- tainers moved in a body on_his new home, The evening was most joyously spent, and an elegant silver punch bowl was presented Mr. McLaughlin as a souvenir of the event.
