Subsequently an act was passed regulating the freight charges on all roads. It reduced the rate on oil below seventy-five cents a barrel, The company in question clalmed that this was a violation of its chartered rights, and that the act to that extent was un- constitutional, This view was sustained by the county circuit court, but the su- preme court of appeals reverses the rul- ing.

More promptness is noeded in this matter. So far as the legislative journals arejooncern- ed, the only way to have them prompt- ly printed is to get efficlent clerks. We have had enough of such clerks as Slaugh- ter. A change cannot be for the worse at any rate. Tue recent antl-monopoly utterances of Mr. Clarkson of the Des Moines Register are a on par with those of Dr. Miller of the Omaha I/erald, The peo- ple of Towa have no more falth in Clark- son than the people of Nebraska have in Miller. The Des Moines Zcader thus speaks of Mr. Clarkson's conversion to the anti-monopoly ductrine: One ef these days when the true in. wardnees of Mr, Clarkson’s negotiations with the railways, resulting in his under- taking the contract to repeal the gnnga‘r M.

So the peasantry hate the prospect of a distant war for heir sons, who are commonly only sons and heirs to bits of land. The next great polltical event is adver: tised in France for January 25, when the senatorial elections take place. The fate ot Ferry may be determined then, but the most important result will be the bearing of the election upon the presidency. The executive term expiresin January 1886, and the electlon will b by joint vote ot the senate and chamber of deputies. The senetorial vacancies to be filled next month number eighty-seven, of whom at the last election forty-seven were repub- lican and forty reactlonists, The bitter feeling in all political discnssion at Paris just now Is caused by the spproaching elections, and it is to be noted that the ro cent Bonapartist banquet, with the speoches about a chief that can lead the nation through peril, was but the begln- ning of a determined effort of the spared monuments of the empire to secure, if may be, the balance of power in 1886. The strifo between Bismarck and the reichatag is fast losing that dignity that should attend grave matters of state. 1f it was unwise to refuse the members of the legislature pay upon the ground that that the people will not care to pay men for foolish legislation, it was petty for the reichatag to refuso the prince an as- sistant, The strife 'in the benevolence of friends that would coin itself into moncy to oot the expenses of the poor | j members upon the one hand, or the pay for an asslstant upon the other, isa proper subject for the political cartoenist. The action of the relchstag as a check to Bismarck was perhaps necessary, for he has little skill at looking at things as others look at them, and requires a brutal retort to underatand it. Bismarck himself is not very well advised when he declares through his organ his intention ot retiring from public business for a season by way of resenting this action. There is nothing very appalling in the threat. No forelgn complication of any great magnitude or difii culty now threatens the empire. Hven it it did, the traditions of the for- eign effice have been established by Bis- marck and will reflect his policy, whether he is personally in charge or not. The vote of the reichtag did not deny any- thing of much practical importance. The ‘‘Bismarck fund,” which admirers of the chancellor are raising in Berlin, is ostensibly a fund to enable him to em. ploy the assistance in the foreign office which the reichstag refused. Really it ls a protest egainat the disparagement of his services to the German Empire im- plied in the vote. The report thst war is imminent he- tween Brazil and the Argentine Repub- lic is denled, The supposed massing of troops and fleet of Rio Janeio is declared to be no more than experimental maneu vres, and certainly Brazilian papers a week later than those movements give no intimstion of immediate war. Yot a conflict between these countries is easily within the possibilities. There has long been bad blood between them, grow- ing out of border tronbles and mut- ual desire to gobbble up Ur- uguay. This lititle republic lies between them like a nut, ready to be cracked, and her unhappy incernal con- dition makes it not at all improbable that her neighbors may one of these days be fiighting for her posseseion. and particularly for the important seaport of Montevideo, which Brazll has already twlce owned. The present strained re- lations of the countries are sald to be immedlately due, however, to the claims of the Argentine Republic to Brazillan territory on the Parana frontier It has een selzed, In fact, and military eogineers are said to have made long trips into Brazil to study the topography and resources of the re— glon. Thereis clearly a good deal of excltement in both countrles growing out of these transactions, and a fast- growing hankering after a fight: while both countries have of late months been putting themselves as nearly as they can on a war footing. Nelther 1s in fighting trim, Brazll less so than her neighbor, thongh probably in the long run her superlor resources would bring her out victorious. 1t will give the Australians no pleasure to realivo that Germany is in earnest in planting the imperial flag on islands in the Pacific. One of the doctrines now popular in Australasia, and by the Lon don press aptly called “‘the Monroe doc- trine of the Pacific,” holds that no terri- tory eouth of the equator and east ot lati- tude 140° east shall in future be acquired by any power but that of the confederated British colonies. The islands recently taken by Germany fall within this limit, and it will be interesting to see whether the Australians will attempt to act in de- fence of thelr ambitlons declarations, The Swiss confederation has just had its presidentlial election, too, Tne feder- al assembly of the two houses elect a fed- eral council of seven, and these select a president of the council who is the recog- nized head of the confederation. M. Schenck, last year's vice president, was elected according to custom, and the first move of the counc/l, which 1s radical in politics, will be to put a high duty on al- cohol, purely as a temperance meas— ure. There are signs of renewed agitation in Ireland, and there is apparently some want of harmony in the cabinet as to the manner of aealing with them, At all events members of the government out- he has eatablished a of coutiors, who not only supply him with minute detalls respecting the move- ments of the English expeditionary forces, but also disseminate at his bidding misleading information concerning El Mahdi, upon which the British com- mander has acted to hls sore disadvan- tage. Of course, If this be true, it maturally excites great indignation on the side of the Koglish people. But that they can ke the acts of this particular Frenchman the pretext of a quarral with France, as has been suggestea, is not to be supposed for a moment, To impar tial lookers on, the course ot M. Pain, even though It is to be lamented, appears o be that of a totally irresponsible indi- vidual who is now engaged, and not for the first time either, in a political in trigue, the dire consequences of which may only be visited upon his own schem ing head, —— SBINGULARITIES Thero is a fighting chicken at Atlanta, Ga,, valued at 3260, An artesian well in Tulare county, Cali fornia, eupplies four cubic feet of water per sccond, or enough to irrigate 610 acres of land, Young banana trees are growing finely at T.os A Cal., in some of the shel tered valleys there will be quite a large crop of fruit this year, Near Giffordstation, on the Staton Tsland railroud, there is & peculiar pieca of woodland, The roots of the trees are all from four to six fggt above the surface of thaground.
