However, the charge of being a poker player ought not to weigh very heavily against a territorial official in the wild west. TAXING RAILROAD LANDS, There ate before congress soveral bills having in view the subjecting of railroad lands to all logal taxes imposed under authority of any state or territory in which they are located, to the same extent as they would have been had the cost of surveying, solecting and convey- of the same been paid. The object is to compel the land grant roads to take out patents on the lands and pay taxes,which have so long been evaded. In other words, they are to bo treated like any other land owners which is no more than right or just. They should have been made to pay taxes long ago. The lands that will be afiected are those granted by the act of July 1, 1862, and the acts amendatory thereof, elective franchise everywhere as acceasi- ble as it now is in the wost forward con- stituencies, and to give veats in the com- mons in proportion to the population. The effect of this measure would be to practically render their sufftage nearly as extensive as it isin this country. To this inevitable step of democratization, Mr. Gladstone is certainly bound to find opposed the houso of lords, which will unquestionably throw out the bill, pre- cisely as it threw out the land bill. But the lords reconciled themselves to the land act. That they will not stand out need- lessly against the franchise act, may be inferred from the facc that an appeal to v Trere is nothing tc MacVeagh, says James W. Dorsey, except that he is the little son-in-law of a great father-in-law. Ex-Sexator Dorsey thinks Arthur is b no doubt a great man, but without wis- dom, and *‘as good as any piece of boef.” JerrersoN DAvis, it is now asserted, will not attempt any more public speeches, Month by month he gives evidence of failing health.

For government to attempt to smother this measure, or even to de- lay it, will bring into play tactics of ob- structionagainst weightier mearures which would endanger their success. English- men are disgusted and worn out with Irish agitation, and it is quite certain that a measure at all serviceable which would quiet Ireland, will secure a large vote from Englishmen worn out with Irish ag- itation, A Bounsox and pro-slavery member ob- jected on Friday when Congressman Finerty offered resolutions confessing the sorrow of congress &% the death of ‘Wendell Phillips. The objector was E from the state of wooden nutmegs. THERE is no use, says the New York Zimes, in trying any longer to disguise Sl the fact that the reorganization scheme 3 is a failure. The old managers are in just as complete control of the party or- ganization in New Youk as they were be- fore. RAILROAD COMMISSIONS, 1t is evident that the railroad monapo- lies are laying their plans to foist upon Nebraska the railroad commission sys- tem, The railroad managers have tried the system in several states and have found it to work admirably—for the rail- roads. So wéll ploased are they with the commission system that they are now moving heaven and earth to secure the establishment of a national commission, The railroads may be satisfied with com- missions, but the people are not. It has been demonstrated that commissions are manipulated by the railroads, and they prefer to head off legislative restrictions in this way. In California the people unanimously denounce the railroad com- mission, which has passed under the con- trol of the Central Pacific. In Iowa theré is a great deal of dissatisfaction, and numerous bills have been introduced in the legislature in relation to the rail- road commission, Oue of the bills pro- vides for the election of the commission- erd, by the people, instead of being ap- pointed by the governor, with ap. proval of the senate. This will be some improvement, and there is some probability of its being passed. Tt isalso proposed to give the commis. sioners, so elected, the power to enforce their orders and decrees. So far the railroads have paid no attention to the commission whenever it was against their interest. And yet the Omaha Re- publican wmaintains that the Iowa com- mission is a great success, To prove that there is a concerted ef- fort on the part of railroads to establish commissions in every state of the Union, it is only necessary to state that in De. cember the Railroad Gazette, of New York, sent all over the country a pam- phlet entitled ‘‘State Railroad Commis- sions,” Accompanying each copy was a ciroular, signed by the Railroad Gazette, stating that ‘‘the subject is of special in- teorest for legislators at this time of the year.” This was just previous to the as- sembling of the various legislatures, 1t was from this pamphlet that the Omaha Republican, acting under the instruc- tions of the Union Pacific, 80 copiously quoted a fow days ago. It is plain that the Union Pacific has begun its cam- paign for the adoption of the commission system in Nobryska. The Republican, its chief organ, virtually admits as much. However, the advocacy of that system by the Union Pacific organ will be sufficient to defeat it. e — Missourt seems to be afraid that Wy- oming will not be properly taken care of without her assistance. Missouri not only wants one of her sons, My, J, H, Thomas, to be surreyor-general of Wy- oming, but she also wishes to place Mr, W. N. Norville, of Chillicothe, Missouri, in the vacant United States judgeship of Wyoming. The late incumbent, Judge Jacob Blair, is in Washington endeavor- ing to be reappointed. Among the charges filed against Judge Blair by a Laramie national bank is that he is an inveterate poker player, and has played Ta% present members of the Massachu- setts legislature are put down as follows on the presidential question: Thirty-cne for Edmunds, 21 for Arthur, 4 for Gen- o eral Sherman, 3 for Blaine and 1 each for Senator Sherman and General Logan. Evidently Arthur would not be unaccept- able to the most of tem. i Tre Kansas City Journal’s Washing- K ton correspundent says that the delega- tion to the river convention from Kansas and Northern Missouri, are displeased at not having received the indorsement of the convention of their idea to createa Missouri river commission as promulgated by Representative Graves. Born parties in New York state, says the Springfield Republican, are pigsties, and decent men might as well try to make parlors out of pigsties by moving into them with their best raiment and bric-a- brac and still keep the pigs there as to attempt to reform the machine with the help of the bosses, —— OmAHA people must not think 'that they are the only ones who have gas troubles to contend with, although that fact may not afford them ‘much consola- tion. The Denver News says: *‘Why «loesn’t the gas company improve the «quality and pressure of its gast The old sschedule of charges is still used. Suroly +the consumers have some rights in this matter.” . S————— Tux poet who writes of the ‘‘long. horned cattle” stampeded by Indians, who shoot the cowboys with feathered arrows, has not visited the wild west lately, otherwise he would know that the Todians have long since abandoned hows ' and arrows, and are now armod with the latest improved ropeating rifies, Thero is more truth than poetry in this latter statement. E——— A wew candidate for the Wyoming uqqor-pnndlhlp has come to the front in the person of Mr. Sam, Losch, of Ponnsylvania, who is backed by the chatrman of the Pennsylvania republican mu J. W, Weldrum, of;Wyom- ing, and J, H. Thomas of Missouri, are his opponents. It is now said that the chances are very favorable for Mr. Losch, the dark horse in the race. to aid in the construction of a railrond and telegraph line from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean. The railroad attorneys have been occupying the atten- tion of the house Pacific railroad com- mittee for several days with their argu- ments in opposition to the proposed measure, The subject has already been consid- ered by the wsenate judiciary committeo, and it has propared a bill of its own, which will bring about a selection of the jlands included . in the grant or an abandonment .of many of them by the companies, and relieve the difficulties now arising out of the strange condition in whick these lands are. Am- ple ti.ae and opportunity will be given the companies and no injustico will be done them, while the government will be protected in its rights and saved harm- less, Out of the great number of acres contained in these grants probably not one-fortieth have been selected so as to separaie them actually from the public domain. In any tax sale under this bill the government preserves its firat lien on the lands for all proper costs, fees, otc., and when a patent issues upon any tax sale, it operates only as an evidence of the tax title, and that title shall be sub- ject and subordimate to all the rights of the government in respect of the subsidy body issued by it in aid of the construc- tion of such roads, and theso facts and reservations are required to be stated in such patents. Under the provisions of the bill the proposed taxation is limited to such lands as have been selected and sur- veyed, asthen allis done by the com- panies that is needed to have patents issued, and this being done the lands are taxable. The companies are then by the proposed amendment required to pay in- to the treasury of the United States, within ninety days from the passage of the act, all the costs of surveying, select- ing and conveying, and in case of the failure of the companies to make these payments the secretary of the interior must serve notice on them that he is ready to deliver patents upon lands to which the companies are entitled if such costs were paid, and if after twc months’ servico of such notice they fail to pay such costs and accept patents, the attorney-general of the United States is required to institute proper proceedings in the courts of the United States,against such companies to secure the payment of all said costs and the costs of such pro- ceedings, and for these the United States shall have a prior lien. After this noti- fication by the secrotary of the interior all tracts of land to which the companies would be legally entitled upon pay- ment of such costs will be subject to all legal taxes under the authority of the states and territories in which they are located and to the same extent, as already stated, that they would have been if such eosts have been paid and the land actually conveyed. Mr. RippLEBERGER, of Virginia, has made his first speech in the United States. His speech was not over five minutes in length, snd, probably on this account, he is already pronounced a great orator. He spoke upon his resolution for a joint committee to investigate the causes of removals made by new officers of both houses, and ina fow sharp sen- tences placed the democracy in an ex- ceedingly unpleasant position for their violabion of the spirit of their civil-ser- vioe act, and arraigned Mr. Beck for his vote against the resolution to investigate the Danville masscacre, which, as Mr, Riddleberger put it, “‘was a resolution which offered the people of Virginia an opportunity to vindicate thumselves from the reuponsibility for crimes. — “‘Omyese” Gonrpox, concerning whose safoty there was so much fear, has reach- od Berber, in the Soudan. So far he has maintained his reputation for reckless bravery and has met with his usual good fortune, General Gordon passed through the desert accompanied only by his seo- retary, Col, Stewart, and the son of the governor of Berber, Previous to start- ing on his journey General Gordon sent a message to the troublesome sheikhs, saying: ‘‘Meet me at Khartoum. 1f you want peace, I am for peace. If you want war, 1 am ready.” ——— A WasmiNgrox dispatch says that the prospects are now quite faverable for the ratification of the Sioux treaty. Under this treaty nearly one-half of the entire 83,000 square miles will be thrown open for settlement, The withdrawal of oppo- sition of Bishop Hare and other mission- aries was a decided victory for the com- mission, for it is generally conceded that their opposition caused the defeat of the l measure last March. Bishop Hare has gone to Washington, and, with the dele- gations from the Black Hills and North and South Dakota now there, there is little doubt that favorable legislation can be secured, - Tie Russian nihilists have hit upon a plan for circulating their documents which promises to be as effective as it is novel, They paste them in the middle of cheap bibles, which are then distribut- ed colporteur fashion. That will doubt do for Russia, but it is safe to say that no such plan would ever go through in Arkansas or Texas—not, at least, till the average democrat has becomo a relic of tho past. no It is just one year ago this morning, says the Cincinnati Gazette of the Sth, that the stago of water in the Ohio at that point was fifty feet, and the rise during the day was five fect; on the 9th the rise was three feet, on the 10th two feet, on the 11th two feet, on the 12th two fect, on the 13th eight inches, on the 14th one foot, The present flood is wonderfully duplicating that of last year in its steady and awful advance—its hes- itations and renewed swelling. GENERAL STONE expresses the opin- ion, in the New York Herald, that one hundred thousand men will be needed to handle the Mahdi. The British govern- ment has treated the Kgyptian case lightly thus far, but give John Bull time to digest tho facts, and to discover what he thinks about them, and it is safe to say thathe will come as near realizing Geeneral Stone’s estimate as the case re- quires, ——— Ir should not be forgotten by the enc- mies of England, who are just now re- joicing at her discomfiture in Egypt, that she has not yet put forth her military power. Mr. Gladstone has desired to do nothing having even the appearance of a prominent accoptance. When, however, necessity forces England to act, short work will be made of the rebels if they attompt to enter Lower Egypt. ——— Ir fell to a Butler democrat to move tho resolutions of respect to Wendell Phillips in the Massachusetts senate. The Springfield Republican is out of sorts over tho ‘‘shrieky and sesquipe- dalian composition which is a bad cross between a Fenian harangue and a southern stump spoech. Itis a sorry exhibition, and almost necessitates a commemorative oration by somebody who can do the subject justice.” Tue Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette speaks strong words in behalf of (ien. Porter. The rebels were not up in time to catch Pope, but Porter was not up in time to bag Jackson—this is the true story, and all there is of it. The Com- mercial-Gazetto says: Pope and Porter were both educated soldiers ard good fighting men. Both are men of a distinguished order of ability. The extravagancies of public opinion holding one to be a fool and the other a traitor are monstrously unjust. There is no inconsistency in beiug friendly with both. ‘The man who fought the battle of Gaines’ Mills and Malvern Hill should be judged with great con- sideration, and on the 30th day of August Porter’s little corps, rested, resolute, well handled, could not save the day, but prevented the disaster from being be- yond remedy. Politicians spout about Fitz John Porter as if he never fought a battle, when he was the right hand of the government in Pennsylvania in the critical day® at the beginning of the war; when he won the battle of Hanover Court-house; when he fought n wonder- ful battle at Gaines’ Mills; when he saved the army at Malvern Hill; when he was the wall of fire standing against the con- federate hosts on the day aiter his.al- leged misconduct, which was foreseen by astaff oflicer with the mystic gift of clairvoyance, —————— GO SLOW, MR, MORRISON, New York Herald, Look here, Mr. Morrison. Do you realize what a destructive measure your taritt bill will prove to be? The law framesd last March admitted spices free and placed nutmegs on the free list. This extreme and uncalled for measure struck av the roots of that im portant industry of Connecticut—the manufacture of wooden nutmegs. Many factories were compelled to shut down, while in others short time and reduced wages had to be enforced. Now you come and propose to admit lumber free, This will crush the life out ef tho wooden nutmeg industry, The raw material 01gkt bo be taxed. Then, too, there is the baked bean in- |li dustry in Boston, which employs we do not know how many men and pays them wages from 100 to'200 per cent higher than is paid to the lllll)pel‘ labor of Eu- rope.
