It does not require any remarkable penetration to discover this after reading the letter of the president to Mr. Manning. In that document Mr. Cloveland said: 1 have hoped that the day was near at hand when the party to which we belong, influenced largely by faith and confidence in you and in the wisdom of your views, would be quick- ened in the sense of responsibility and led to more harmonious action upon the important questions with which you have had to deal.” This is the most explicit declaration of disappointment the presi- dent has made, and it does not admit of any misunderstanding or misconstruc- tion. It does not, however, cover the whole ground of the causes of disappoint- ment. It refers only to those matte relating to the fiscal affairs of the nation, which it is the function of the secretary of the treasury to deal with, and since the president was in full and complete accord with his secretary regarding these matters—the most im- portant being the proposed abandonment ot the coinage of silver and tariff’ reform —the refusal of congress to yield to the recommendations is 4 blow quit much at the president as at the secretary. So far as the first of these questions 18 con- cerned, the president was confronted in advance of his mauguration with the as- surance that he could not command for it the support of a democratic house, and as to the last, he ought to have been easily able to conyince himself, by look- ing over the list of democratic represent- atives, that there was a num- ber of them under the leadership of Ran- dall to defeat tariff reform. 1t is very vrobable, however, that Mr. Cleveland carried with him to Washington the idea that as president, having the duty and the right to rec- ommend policies, with a great patronage at his command, and with the prestige of his exceptionally prosperous political fortunes, he would have little dificulty in bringing his party into line with his yiews. He has not only thus far signally failed to do this, but recent de- velopments in congress of a formidable opposition to the policy nearest the heart of the president, ci iL sery reform, compel the eonzifiion that there is no likelihood of president and party gotting any nearer together in the futuve. The evident fact is that the displeasure of the president with his party is most fully reciprocated. The course of Ran- dall and Holman in congress, in their efforts to nullify the civil service law, is regarded as the first move in a game which has for its object the defeat of Mr. Cleveland for renomination, should he change the view expressed in his letter of acceptance regarding a second term and allow his name to go before the next na- tional democratic convention. The not incredible report comes from New York, aleo, thata combination has been made in that state, which has the favor of Mr. Tilden, with the purpose of giving the support of New York to Governor Hill as a [presidential candidate. It is not questionable that Hill has very earnest aspirations for the presidency, and as b will have the confidence of the anti-civil service element of the party, it is easy to see that he may be formidable. The ex- traordinary luck which has distinguished the political career of President Cleve- land may carry him to a renomination two yoars hence, but certainly there is nothing in the present relations between himself and his party from which they ranted in deriving great expecta- Why He Objected. It 18 not atall surprising that Congress- man Jim Laird is u bitter enemy of Mr. Sparks and feels called upon to assail the volicy of the land office in ferreting out frauds when its head is under discussion in congress. Mr. Laird has good reasons for objecting to Mr, Sparks, chief of which 1s that Mr. Sparks’ inspectors have entered serious objections against Laird. Some time ago, as will be remembered, Inspector Green, of the general land office, made a thorough investigation of a number of bogus land entries on Stinking Water creek in southwestern Nebraska. That examination resulted in the dis- covery that the congressman from the second district was seriously com- promised by the operations of a gang of perjured pre-emptors who had been fraudulently entering land for Mr. Laird’s benefit in the McCook land dis- trict. Upon the report of the inspector the entries were cancelled for fraud. Since that date Mr. Laird has not been on the best of terms with the general land office, which he denounces as in- terfering with the rights of “‘honest set- tlers” like himself and other foiled land grabbers of the same kidney. Attacks on Mr. Sparks would come with better grace from some other man than Jim Laird. Assaults upon the bench from the lips of convicts carry very little weight in law-abiding commu- nities. Attacks on the custom oflicers when made by convicted smugglers do not produce much of an impression on the oflicials of the treasury department. What congress thought of Jim Laird's motion to cut out the approvriation for inspeetors of the land oftice ean be seen from its prompt rejection by an over- whelming majority. The Bond Cra Al counties in . Nebraska are suf- ng from a disease which at times has oy fe ravaged more or less every section of the siate, We refer to the enticing allure- ment of voting subsidies to railroad cor- porations for the purpose of securing rail extensions and the vromised blessings of competition, The same old stack of ar- guments are being used by the railroad agents to work up a favorable sentiment for their subsidy schemes. Merchants aro formed that the reduction on freight rates will alone pay the interest on the bonds asked, and farmers are told that a competing road will more than make up for taxes in the reduced tolls on gram. In addi- tion the inducement of added taxable property in roadbed and right of way, telegraph dines and depot grounds, 1s held out as a return which will amply compensate for the money voted. The time ought to have passed in Ne- braska when wealthy railroad corpora- tions can pull the wool over the oyes of the taxpaying public by any such argu- wents. . Competition, not prospective subsidies, is the stimulus which 15 now urging the extension of trunk line sys- tems in Nebraska. 71he Burlington, Rock 1lsland, Northwestern and Union Pacific are all bidding for the bus- iness of a rich country.

One lone vote was recorded against the measure, The truth Is, the Beg in endeavoring to bolster up the Van Wyck campaign s making itself ridiculous.— Herald, The democrats of Nebraska have son to feel proud of their great organ. They do like enterprise and it takes a Zenius to convince them that Van /yek's masterly fight on the Northern acific railroad forfeiture bill was child’s play and met with no opposition. The paper which makes this assertion is to be excused for its exhibition of ignor- ance 1 disparaging the labors of Senator Van Wyck. Its sympathies always have been with corporate monopolics and the valiant knight who now wages its bat- tles has fallen into line with Dr. Miller's well known poliey. It is now three weeks since Senator Van Wyck forced the railroad attorneys in the senate, Dolph and Mitchell, to show their hands with regard to the forfeiture of the un- earned land grants of the Northern Pa- cifie. He had pitted against him the ablest and most vigorous debaters from Edmunds down to Harrison. The pro- visions which he sought to engraft upon the bill were opvosed at every turn by all the tactics and methods which the corpa could employ, * The battle hus waged fiercely and hotly from day to day since May 27th, and on the 15th day of June a final vote was had on Van Wyck’s amendments, which were adopted by a vole of 24 to 18, or g mp- Jority onlv of 5ix 6 those voting and not paired. Wlhen the railroad s elves beaten—horse, foot and is—there was nothing left for them but to surrender gracefully and record their votes on tho final passage for the bill as amended. The sneers of the Omaha monopolist with the bogus democratic brand about the single vote against ‘the bill exhibitthe trua character of the wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is not uncommon for opponénts of a bill to vote for it on its final passage after they are beaten on i test vote. They make the best of a bad job by going on the record in favor of a popular measure which they have been anxious to defeat, but which is bound to carry. This was the case with the Thur- man bill. Although thirty-four senators had opposed that bill in 1ts various stages, all but nineteen voted for it on its final passage. The magnitude of Van Wyck’s vietory 1 this three weeks fight is acknowledged by all the leading papers of the country from New York to San Francisco with- out regard to party. The eftorts of the monopoly press of Nebraska to beliftle Van Wyck only shows their small calibre. The masses of the American people will accord him credit for the brave and eflicient work he has done even though Dr. Miller pronounces his labors insigni ficant and of no moment, ors found Tue Canadian side of the fisheries con- troversy is very much complicated by the effect it has in intensifying the secession feeling in Nova Scotia, which has re- cently shown a vigorous development. The report that the secession agitation in that province is receiving the aid ‘of American capital is hardly credible, there being quite enough stimulus for it 1n the fact that the policy ot the dominion government with respect to the fisheries is most directly inimical to the interests of Nova Scotia, and that the conse- quences have already been very scrious to her people. In fact, the British mari- time provinees have not for a number of years been in harmonious relations with the larger and more populous provinces west of them, which if they have not wholly disregarded their interests, have placed a socondary value upon them, The spirit of secession in those provinces is therefore not a new develop- ment, though it has gained in growth rapidly since the fisheries question wasstarted. Whether the strong manifestation of this feeling now making will induce a more liberal policy on the part of the dominion government re- garding the matter in controversy can not be certainly predicted, butif it should not there is every probability that Nova Scotia and New Brunswick wil) assert their independence, The logical se- quence to this would be to seek annexa- tion to the United States, alike for the commercial advantages it would give and the polit security it would assure, Doubtless a very little encouragement on the part of the United States would be sufllcient at this time to precipitate the sccession of the British maritime pr inces, but that is not held out, nor at all likely to be, it W have been requested by various parties to follow our article on the cap- italists of Omaha, with an exhibit of taxes paid by each, together with a iist of ax-payers of moderate means by way of comparison, There is no doubt that such a list would prove very interesting by way of contrast. It would be a start- ling exhibit of the tax-shirking. The task is, however, very dificult. Nearly every man of lurge means is more or less an investor in corporation property and stocks, such as banks, gas, water, stre railways, cattle and land syndicates factories run by stock compuni; individual tax of the owner of such stock is merged in the general assossment of the whole concern, For instance, the gas company is supposed to be assessed for its real and personal property, and taxes are levied upon the stock indirectly. The difliculty would be to ascertain what proportion of personal tax the owners of stock pay, whereas the man of moderate means makes but one return for what- ever may be taxable against him person- ally. Toget a complete list of all the real estate owned by our large land owners would involve 4 very heavy out- ' lay. of time sud lubor. The taxes are i levied against the lots and not against the men.
