ONE of the largest sized frauds among the bogus reforms of the democracy at ‘Washington is Bill Holman, the shirtless, Sobacco-stained statesman of the rolling ~Wabash. Holman worked up a transient weputation as an economist in the I ongress by objecting to every appropria- tion bill which did not effect s own | sonatituency. and persistently pushing imessures whose passage would make him dmore solid with Indiana voters. A few " slluys ago he made a vigoreus fight to cut “lown the appropriation for Architect L Bell’s office $5,000, until Mr. Bell replied | with some spirit that he should save mnol it by dropping two clerks who 2 been appointed at Holman's urgent moligitation.

Square on the Tssues. The people of Nebraska admite Sena. tor Van Wyck for the outspoken posi- tion which he has taken, and consistently maintained, on every issue of the day. From the date of his election to the sen- ate no one of his constituents has ever had reason to doubt what stand the sen- ator would assume on questions of sur- passing interest to the section which he revresents or on topies which divide men and parties at the national capital. Elected as a republican from a state in which anti-monopoly republicans form a large majority f the voting population, Senator Van Wyck has steadily supported every party measure in which the party name was not used as a cover to conceal the designs of the tricksters and corruptionists. On several issues he has led a break in the party in the direction of the people’s demand. No one senator has done so much to re- deem the senate from the stigma of be- ing owned body and soul by corporate monopoly. His sturdy championship of measures to force the land grant’ roads to take out patents and to pay taxes on their lands, his per- sistent and vigorous fight for the forfeit- ure of the immense unearned grants ille- gally withheld from the national domain, his unremitting efforts for a reduction of needless tariff taxation, and Iis work in behalf of the interests of the laboring and producing classes, have given him an en- viable and a well earncd national reputa- tion. Fearless, unswerving, active and well equipped for the task by edu- cation and experience, he has thrown down his gauntlet in the arena of senatorial debate to do battle on the paramount issues of the day with the ablest of the defenders of monopoly and wealth. Senator Van Wyck is square on the issues, That is the reason why he is trusted and respected by honest men everywhere, and nowhere more than in the state which he so ably represents at Washington. Tory Displeasure With American Opinion. It is not questionable that whatever friendliness the tory and conservative elements in England may have felt to- ward the people of the United States, be- fore the question of home rule for Ireland became the great issue in Great Britain and American sentiment was frecly ex- pressed thereon, has been very greatly impaired by the unequivocal position taken by the people of this country in favor of the demands of Ireland. Both in parliament and in the press there have been abundant indications of the dis- pleasure of the anti-home rule elements with American opinion on this question, and probably no one circumstance con- tributed so much to the aggravation of that displeasare as the recent speech of Mr, Blaine, which, for obtious reasons, is a much more valuable contribution to the ause than any number of reso- lutions or manifestoes proceeding from societies or mdividuals which represént only a limited constituency. It is not surprising that English- men misapprehend the true source of American public opmion on this subjeet and wrongfully ascribe it to the memory of the untriendly disposition of the Brit- ish government toward the United States during the rebellion. Such an accusa- tion, as the New York Herald observes, “‘may prove that Great Britain has a con- science, and does not view her relations to this country auring the war with com- placency, but it has no foundation in fact.” 1t is not necessary to pretend that the people of this country have forgotten the hostile attitude of the British govern- ment at the timo of our greatest struggle for national preservation,in order to truthfully aflirm that the remembrance of that hostility has no influence what- ever in shaping public sentiment here on the subjectof home rule. That sentiment has its source and authority in the Ameri- can principle of government, and is the natural product of our political educa- tion and intuitions, The policy of cen- tralized power still triumphant in Eng- land with respect to Ireland is repug- vant to the American idea of justice and sound governmental polit; The American people believe that the policy of coercion thus far pursued, and still adyocated by Lord Salisbury, 1s a wrong against the Irish people so griev- ous and intolerable thut adherence to it would justify rebellion. They believe that the whole course of the British gov- ernment with respect to Ireland for nearly a century has been one of system- atic outrage, and they believe with Mr. adstone that to give Ireland enfran- chisement and the right of self-govern- ment would strengthen instead ot weaken the empire, and in eyery moral, political and material direction would be an ad- vantage to the English nation. It is not hostility to England, but a clear appre- hension of what is just to Ireland, that is the source and inspiration of American opinion on the question of home r ule. Ee—— The Bure: of Sclence. Itisof the first importance that the work of the government scientitle bu- reaus shall be thorough and accurate, and that the highest order of efficienc, be maintained in them That these re quirements have not uniformly prevailed, and that from time to time all these bu- reaus have been more or less lnx in their ions, with the result of recording ¢ and misleading inform ation, are facts well known to scientific men generally. A few years ago the work of some of these bureaus was so loosely done, and the results so untrustworthy, that hardly any attention was given to it by scientists, und it mnst be candidly confessed that the general scientitic in- quiries and researches carried on by the United States government do not com- pare very favorably in the qualities of thoroughness, accuracy and reliability with thut of other governments which maintain scientifie establishments on a liberal seale. It was in consequence of the notorious defects and shortcomings of this service that congress two years ago created s commission to look into the organization of the scientific bureaus and devise a plan for their reorganization and reform. A committee appointed by the national academy of scicnces to aid the commis- sion recommended the crestion of a de- partment which shoyld bhave control of all the distinotively scientific “bureaus, but this plan aid not receive the support of the commission. Indeed' the commis- sion appears not to have been able to rogob any wnanimous conclusion as to what ought to be done for reforming and umproying the scientitic' work of tho goy- ernment, though it was able to agree that the publication of the geological survey by the government ought be discontin- ued on the score of its expensiveness, On all other propositions, as for example that of taking the weather bureau from the war department and making it a civil serviee bureau, and of turning the coast survey over to the navy depart- ment, the commission was divided Congraess is consequently in very little better position to determine what ought to b done for reforming and increasing the efliciency and worth of the scientific work of the government than before the creation of the commission, and except to discontinue the publication of the geological survey, as a measuro of cconomy, there probably will be nothing done. Meanwhile the bureaus have been subjected to some pretty sharp criticisms which for a time may have good effects upon their morale and efficiency. The Lesson of Oregon. There is warning and admonition for the republican party everywhere in the result of the Oregon election last week. In the three preceding elections in that state the republicans were successful, by small majorities in two cases and a plur- ality in the other, and the very closeness of the vote should have taught the leaders to be careful, and above all honest. But unscrupulous combinations were formed, engineered chietly by Hipple Mitchell for personal ends, and the party became dominated by a ring. This cabal devel- oped its prime purpose in electing Mitch- ell to the United States senate, a result that was accomplished, unquestionably, only by the use of corrupting means. 1t was felt at the time that the election, so unmistakably a victory of “the gang, must prove disastrous to the republican party in Oregon, and the result of inst week's election is the expected and proper rebuke of the Mitehell crowd. This influence controlled in the state convention, and the men put in nomination were known to be s0 entirely the creatures of the gang that even the Portland Oregonian, the most influential republican paper in the state, refused to support them. It can not be said of the democrats elected that they are men.entitled to a high degree of confidence, but the republicans who re- frained from voting were only called upon to consider the short comings of the canaidates of their own party and the duty of defeating an unserupulous combi- ation in that)party, and so they did what ublicans everywhere should do in similar circumstances. The party harness does not sit so closely upon the people just now that ol tricksters ; seekers ean safely trifle with them, and it may as well be understood:that bosses of the Hipple Mitchell clzss aro dangerous anywhere to the party security. The Assault on Mr. Munford, The assault made on Editor Munford of the Kansas Uity Zines was a dastardly outrage which will be generally do- nounced as such by fair men everywhere, no matter what their personal relations may be to the parties interested. The assailant, a shyster lawyer, waylaid Mr. Munford n a crowded cable car firing three shots from his revolver, seriously wounding the object of his vengeance and fatally injuring a lady passenger who happened to be within range of his bullets. Itis small wonder that there was k ot a lynching bee and that the cowardly miscreant was only protected by the strong bars of a jail from the rage of an indignant public. This murderous attempt to hold an editor physically responsible for the pub- lication of matter gathered under the supervision of the news department,calls renewed attention to the changed con- ditions of journalism from the days when the editor-in-chief was reporter, editorial writer and personal supervisor of every item which appeared in the columns of his journal, With the growth of the modern newspaper it is quite im- possible for the editor to bo personally acquainted before 1ts publication with anything more than a small portion of the matter presented to the public. A newspaper is a vast factory with its work] divided and sub-divided under various foremen, each held accountable for the conduct of their departments. From fifty to two hundred writers and editors are employed om every issuc of the great metropolitan papers. For the results the editor and proprietor is legally responsible. If injury is done to private interesis by careless or malicious work on the part of his subordinates the courts hold him to legal account. But it is unjust, unfair and unreasonable that he should be held to a physical reckoning In the case of Mr, Munford the news de- partment of the Zimes published a matter of open scandal which had found its way into the courts, and unmasked a hypocrite who had ruined the peace of two families while masquerad- ing as a citizen ot prominence and integrity, It does not appear that Editor Mumford was sought by his mur- derous assuilant for such an explanation as it was within nis power to make and which all honest editors are only too glad to give where mistakes as to facts creep into their columns. He was shot down in cold blood, and under eircumstances which endangered the lives of a score of others. For this reason, whatever the busis for the attack, it was a dustardly and a cowardly outrage for which the criminal deserves nosympathy whatever.

The Royal Suiclde. The suicide of the unfortunate King Ludwig of Bavaria will relieve the king- dom of a burden wihich long ago became almost unbearable. The reckless extrav- agance of the monarch has bankrupted the treasury aad the lavishness with which he squandered millions upon pal- aces, theaters, musetims and parks has driven taxpagers to desperation. W hen the state refused to encourage any longer his wild yagaries, the lunatic monarch plunged into debt pledging his private credit until that was'exhausted in Euro- pean banking houses and his notes of hand outstanding exceeded ten millions of dollars, Ludwig's accession to the throne ot Bavaria was everwhere hailed with ac- clamation. As heir apparent, ne had been known as a quiet and refined gen- tleman with highly developed tastes for music and painting and a generous bene- factor of its fine arts. He carried out as king the policy of his princely days. Munich became the conter of the arts and musical culture. Architecture on a seale of regal magnificence was fostered by subsidies from the royal purse. Can- vasses of the best masters were collected from every important sale on the continent, Wagner found a patron who encouraged with royal approval and regal generosity the “‘Music of the Fu- ture.” But the taint of inherited insau- ity gradually overpowered the king, and for the last five years he has been a harm- less madman ruling through his stato council, and gratifying his mad freaks at a cost of millions of dollars sunk in palaces and ponds, in magnificent far- nishings and expensive theatrical and operatic performances at which he was the sole auditor. Ludwig’s death makes his royal brother, who is also insane, the king de jure. The kingdom will, how- ever, bo spared ancther lunatic ruler, as a regent in the person of Luitpold, uncle of the dead monarch, will administer the government Ir is announced that a Detroit pub- lisher will soon issue a summer novel from the pen of Miss Rose Cleveland. It is purely a love story, and we infer from what 1s said of its character that it will disabuse the minds of those who fancy that Miss Rose cannot have any very lucid or correct ideas on the interesting subject of love and love-making.

Last year the meat of more than a million beeves slaughtered in Chicago was sent east by railroad in competition with the shipments of live cattle. In con- sequence of this lively competition the trunk-line pool has ordered an advance of 50 per cent in the rates of freight for dressed beef, to take eftcct on the 1st of March. The railroad companies are the business rivals of the Chicago shippers of dressed meat, as they own enormous cattle yards in New York, Philadelphia and other eastern cities. Asthe monopoly over the meat market has been broken by Chicago dressed beef the railroad compaules are resolved to check, if not to wholly prevent, its transportation, To the masses of consum in the east the simple meaning of thi dear meat. At any rate this advance in treight rates ¢ of beef. If the ship- pers of dressed meat are driven out of competition the cattle-yard monopoly will be restored and the public will be once more at its mercy. We need not regard the great Chicago firms that ship dressed meat to the hun- gry consumers of the east as missionarics of mercy. If they had a monopoly of this trade they wnulK doubtless prove as re- morseless and_greedy as the cattlo yard combination, In this struggle between the eaitle-yard proprictors and ¢! it roads on the one side and the Chicago ippers of dressed meat on the other for a rf;xmun monopoly the present interest the public is very plain. It is of ut- most concern to the masses of consumers in the east' that the dressed meat of Chi- eago shall not be driven from the market by the arbitrary fiat of the railroad com- panies that have no legitimate interest in i tion except as common carriers. ad pool now presents itself to a forestaller of the markets cy to make meat dear to sfaction —as a conspi the people. As common carriers of freights the trunk-line railroads exercise an enorm- ous influence over every department of tho oountry’s trade and industry. B arbitrarily pooling rates competition is stifled, and each company in the pool exercises absolute sway over the terri- tory which it occupies. the power to fix uniform rates of freight the trunk lines can raise or depress at will the }mces of nearly all necessaries of livlnF. 8 not that enough and more than enough? By no means. The railroad companies have assumed a more dangerous function. As cattle-yard owners and butchers they assume the power to fix the prices of the daily meat of the people. 'n they can do this with impunity, what bounds can be set to their usurpation and tyranny? At the very thme when our commitiees of congress are deliberating upon meas- ures to prevent unjust discriminations in freight the railroad companies do not hesftate to braye public opinion by an act whizh outdoes all former aggressi In order to é:ruluhn the transportation of a prime necéssity of life they double the rates of freight on it, and thus make war upon their own legitimate business of common carriers for which they hold their charters. They place their interests as members of a cattle yard ring above their duty to the public and to their stock- holders, which requires them to trans. port all freights at moderate and fair rates. What plen will their “fl’"" and attorneys in congress and in state legis. latures be able to make in defense of this iniquity? Tn the presence of this attempt to forestall the meat markets of the coun- try, what pretext ean lhc¥ offer against dhe’ immediate passage of laws to pre- vent unjust freight discriminations? ——— ul San Francisco Call: I# 1871 the rosi- dents of Eureka, Humboldt county, were acquainted with the lively acts an depredations of a midmght prowler. For several weeks the town™ was terrorized, and the timid dare not sleep for fear of arude awakening from an unwelcome and burglarious visitor. For some time the midnight invasions were continued to merely frighte g the occupants of a house, without any cffort being mado actuul theft. During these disturh armed men sat up at night to 1 intruder a warm eption, kinally the harmless entries into houses were fol- lowed by actual theft. At this time Hi- ram Vickey was a curpenter employed at one of thé lumber wills of the ‘town, With the other residents this man dis- cussed the action of the burglar i cunning success, and no one ir that the sedate mechanic was the one who had stolen the money and made the mysterious midnight visits One night a horse of great value was stolen from Dr. E. T. Barber,a practicing physician of Eurcka, ana county puys: ician of Humboldt county. At the same time a saddle and bridle were taken from stable and a suit of clothes and a tolen from the residence of the morning after the horse and the other articles were stolen, G. C. Barber a brother of Dr. Barber, was hauli driftwood from the bed of the Eel to his pluce at Grizely Bluff, twenty miles from Eurcka, He had brought up the horse for his brother, and he saw in the road hoof-tracks that he knew were made by that horse. He also met & tramp who told him that a deputy sherifl’ wus on the other side of the river looking for 4 horse thief. Mr. Barber immediately put a saddle and bridle upon a horse and fol lowed the track of the hoofs. At Fern dale he learned the tacts of the larceny, and without the delay of & moment con- tinued to follow the tracks that turned into the coast trail. Barber rode to Mattele valley, and on his way he saw two “cattle herders, who offered to accompany him in the search. After the party had searched for & num ber of_days, they rode up to the tent of cattle herders on_ the site of the trail, and in the cabin with the herders sat Hiram Vickery. Vickery, after submitting to the arrest that followed, suddvnlf‘ struck upward a pistol held by one of the hord- ers, and started to run’like a deer nlnn" the trail. Barber and the herders fired at him, one of the shots striking him in the shoulder-blade. He fell to the ground and feigned to be hadly wounded. The herders with whom Vickery had been eating became indignant at what they termed a brutal murder, and were dis- cussing the matter of lynching Barber when a deputy sheriff rode up and dis- }fla\ « a warrant for the arrest ot Vickery or horse-stealing, which s; ed the herders, \'im-r_‘, after seryving a lmrlinn of a long term in San fimeullu. was pardoned out by the Iate ex-Goy. Irwin and after his release he resumed his old prac- tices, On Sunday last Dr. Barber, who now is practicing an living in Oakiand, walked into the Oakland city prison and identified the bunglar, who was arrested just after he had ransacked the house of Sabin Hartis, as Hiram Vickery, the man who had sto! his horse fifieen years ago. Vickery denied the identification and asserted that his namo is Joel Jay, and that he had never before seen Dr. Barber. The seryvant girl employed at the dwelling of Mr. Turner on’ Ninth stroet, who was choked by a burglar, has identified Vickery as the man who choked her. Hiram Vickery, or Jool Jay, has_re- ceded from his former position of ns- sumed innocence, and has spoken to the prosecuting oflicers about a willingness to plead guilty to a single charge of bur, lary if nlfrr charges be waived and the 't of prior withheld from the court. convictions be el The Legitimate Aspiration Jof Every ‘Woman, Baltimore Catholic Mirror: The St, Louis Globe-Di v column and a half of feminine rhetorie, written by a lady who calls herself a “Society belie,” the substance of which is & complaint that she is unmarried.
