The shippers of this state thus have a means for meeting this unjusti- fiable discrimination against them which they should adopt at once. —— THE somewhat chestnutty story is sent from London that the Cobden clubis showing unusual activity, and that its surplus funds will be sent to this coun- try, to reinforce the free trade move- ment. As there is no such movemdht making or contemplated in this coun- try the Cobden club surplus, if it has any, would simply be wasted here. But this ridiculous story is reveated every time there is an effort made to revise the taniff and reduce burdensome taxation, and will no longer do service with those familisr with its ancient character The Cobden club seems likely to find use at home for all the money it can raise. —— Tux Knights of Labor have taken issue with the management of the bureau of engraving aud minting at ‘Washington. They bring strong and definite charges of incapacity in the printing of the government sccurities. The Knights of Labor claim that by printing the silver certificatas and the iuternal revenue stamps on steam presses that the work is a disgrace to the governmeut, being cheap, inferior, and eusily counterfeited. They demand that all government notes and stamps shall be printed in the highest style of the art of plate printing from hand- voller presses, so as to secure the gov- ernment and the public against loss by wear, inferior work and counterfeiting. The charges will be investigated. | Railroad Retaliation. The vindictiveness of the subsidized corporations, in pursuing and traducing those who have the cournge and the sense of justice to expose and properly denounce their abuse of corporate power and their robbery of the people,is well illustrated in the public attack that has been made on ex-Governor Pattison, chairman of the Pacific railroad com- mission, There cannot be a reasonable doubt respecting the inspiration of this attack. It could have proceeded from no other source than the Pacific rail- rond buceancers, though possibly only those identified with the Central Pacific are immediately responsible for it. Nowhere else could there exist a motive for such an assault upon the character and integrity as a public man of Governor Pattison. He is not engaged in & po- litical contest or seeking political pre- ferment. Having completed his work as a member of the commission and submitted his report he has returned to his private duties. He is doing nothing, and so far asthe world knows, intending nothing, that should invite an attack upon his integrity while in public lif But his entirely true and just presenta- tion of the character and conduct of the Pacific railrond corporations, and his uncompromising recommendation of a policy that would go far to secure jus- tice to the government and protect the people against further abuses, are virile facts that are yet to play an impor- tant part in giving form and pirit to the legislation of congress re- garding the subsidized railronds. How to break the force of Governor Patti- son’s honest and fearless presentation of the case against these corporations is now the study of their unscrupulous managers. One of the expedients al- veady adopted is to attack the integrity of Governor Pattison as a public official, The charge made is that while gov- ernor of Pennsylvania Pattison had been improperly influenced by the Van- derbilts to sign bills relating to the con- struction of the South Pennsylvania railroad, an enterprise intended to com- pete with the Pennsylvania railroad, and therefore in the interest of the Vanderbilts. It is alleged that Governor Pattison at flrst determined to veto these bills and engaged Judge Jer- emiah S. Black to prepare the mes but aftorwards decidod to approve the menasures, which he did. m these circumstances the inference is permitted to be drawn that Governor Pattison was bribed. The answer of Governor Patti- son is that he never asked Judge Black to write a veto message, or promised him or any other man to veto the bills in question, and that he signed tho bills because he believed the projected road to bo o proper and necessa cnterprise. Subsequently the torney gencral of Pennsylvania, by divection of the governor, instituted proceedings to prevent the Pennsylvaniarailroad company from absorbing the South Pennsylvania road. The facts clearly and fully exonerato Governor Pattison, and show his course in this matter to have been straightfor- ward, honorable and judicious. Theattack of the railroads on Governor Pattison will not have the desired effect. It will detract nothing from the value and force of his report, nor will it lessen the popular opinion that he was the right man in the right place as chair- man of the Pacific railroad commission. The thoroughness of the investigation was due very largely to his encrgy, zeal and fearless determination to get at the bottom facts, and to the end of the work be exhibited a purpose to carry out fully the intention of congress in creating the commission. He justi- fied the judgment of the president in appointing him, and was the one man of the commission who grew to command the entire popular confidence. No vin- dictive assaults upon Governor Patti- son will now avail to impair or dimin- ish the respect he haswon by a straight- forward and fearless course and the ¢ pression of opinions honestly enter tained. Nebraska's Heroic Teachers. The BEE'S story of the heroic action gnd great presence of mind of Miss Minnie Freeman, a teacher in Mira Valley distriet, Valley county,in saving the lives of her thirteen pupils in the blizzard, has excited wide interest. It will be remembered that when the wind blew off the door and the roof of the frail school house, she tied twelve of the children together with a string, and taking the youngest in her arms, safely led the little band through the drifts and blinding clouds of snow to a farm house three-quarters of a mile dis- tant. She has become a heroine, and de es to be rewarded. In France she would be voted a life pension. It has been suggested that this brave young lady, aged only nineteen years, be given a medal. The I would make another suggestion. M Freeman deserves something more sub- stantial than a mere souvenir. She is now earning a scanty livelihood at probubly #25 per month. She should be liberally rewarded by contributions in money that would enable her to acquire a home and become independent. Money enough will be cheerfully con- tributed by the teachers in the public schools of Omaha alone to buy a hand- some medal. In doing this the teachers wouid only honor themselves and their own profession. The city at large and the people of the state should contribute to a fund for Miss Freeman. These contributions can be forwarded di- rectly to State Superintendent Lane. Contributions will also be received by the BEE and the donors will receive credit through the columns of this paper. Another Nebraska school teacher de- serves to be remembered and should be taken care of. Her name is Miss Louise Royce, living near Plain- view. In an heroic but unsuc- cessful attempt to save the lives of three children this girl was so @adly frozen that she will probably be seriously erippled by losing one, if not both, of her feet, It seems to us that it would be v proper and timely for State Superind- eut Lane 1o send out appeals in behalf of these two Nebraska heroines to the teachers of every sehoot district. Let it go forth to the would that Nebraska hus the highest regard for the men and women who exhibit by their self-sacri- ficing conduet the highest traits of hu- manity. Between Wind and Water. The senate has adopted Senator Man- derson’s resolution calling upon the secretary of war forinformation whether the mew Council Bluffs and Omaha bridge is being constructed in strict compliance with the original charter, which requives the company to build a railrond and wagon bridge. We are assured that the has been planned for railrond and wagon traffic and is being constructed 50 us to accommodate any railroad that may want to cross the river at some future day. The Union Pacific charter of 1871, called for a railrond and wagon bridge, and we have had such a bridge—on paper— for fifteen years. Last year, when the Union Pacific bridge was vebuilt, the wagon attachment became visible for the first time, Up to date itis not navi- gable even for a blind horse. We have the plans and we have the construction, but people who want to drive across the Missouri prefer to take to the ice in winter and to Captain Swobe's vestibule horse cars for the rest of the season. The new bridge will undoubtedly re- lieve the Union Pacific bridge of its wagon traflic, but it is sheer nonsense to talk about using the new bridge for railroad trains when the approaches would land a train sky high above the the connecting tracks on either side of the river. A railroad bridge between wind and water may satisfy Major Suter, but it will hardly be serviceable as a competitor to the Union Pacific bridge. new bridge THE garbage system of Omaha needs overhauling. The service is irregular, insufficient and unsatisfactory both to the householder and to the garbago col- lector. The disposal of refuse is left to the inclination of the householder. The ordinance prohibiting the dumping of ashes and kitchen garbage in streets and alleys isa dead-letter. If the house- holder calls upon a scavanger, he is obliged to pay an exhorbitant tax for irregular and improper service; hence, he prefers to violate the ordinance. On the other hand, the garbage collector comes around when it suits his conven- ience, and that may be once a week or once in two months. The primary cause of this dssregard of sanitary regulations is ignorance of the law. The board of health and city council are in position to make the garbage collecting system more effective. In tho first Lplace every garbage ' collector should be placed under the supervision of the street commissioner, who should compel systematic service in collectin and hauling away the garbage. Each garbage collector should be provided with cards, upon which the ordinance regulating the service, and pmvidhuz penalties for violating it are printed in at least four languages, English, Ger- man, Scandinavian and Bohemian. These cards distributed to every house- holder, and followed up by prompt ar- rest of parties who knowingly refuse to comply with the ordinance, will have the desired effect. POSTMASTER GALLAGHER now reads his title clear. Other Lands Than Ours. Mr. Parnell predicts a crisis during the coming session of parlinment. He regards the recent statemeunt of Lord Salisbury that in the event of a hostile vote in the house of commons he would have to consider whether the ministry should follow the constitutional custom of resigning or dissolution as indicating the existence of grave dissensions per- haps in the cabinet, and certainly in the party. These dissensions ave likely to arise rather out of questions of Kng- lish (legislation than from the Irish question, and the disposition manifested by TLord Salisbuay is to sacrifice every conservative principle, and if need be reverse, the or- dinary cause in case of de- feat, in order to prevent homo rule. The advice of Mr. Parnell to his imme- diate followers, and as well to the rad- icals, isto facilitate the governmental business when the legislative session shall have opened and thus avoid the charge of obstruction. It has been largely due to the constitutional meth- ods ndopted by Mr. Parnell, and perse- vered in by him even under great prov- ocation, that there has been such a change in the sentiment of the people of Great Britajn on the Irish question. That grave dissensions exist among the members of the Salisbury cabinet is un- doubted; that a government party crisis may occur at any time next session is an opinion gen- erally held by intelligent observers of the events of the last months; and that if the tory government should sustain defeat in any serious home question the dissolution would be fol- lowed by a liberal triumph is clearl; forescen. Such a break-up would be followed by the political extinction of several ambitious publicists who have already found that their conversion to the tory cause hasnot aided them in any way to realize the 1ulhlhm-nl of their selfish desires. Parliament will assem- ble on the Sth of February, and the at- tempt of Salisbury to drive the tory horse going in one direction and the liberal-union horse going in the other direction will be a most interestiug spectacle. The probability is that he will find it not simply a most difficult, but an impossible task. If heaccedesto the demands of the liberal unionists re- specting legislation for England he will inevitably shatter the conservative ranks, yet he admits that he will be pow- erless without liberal unionist support, which is only to be secured by yielding to the requirements of that faction. The dilemma is one of the most difficult and serious in which a British prime minis- ter has ever been placed, and fully warrants M Parnell’s ex- pectation of a crisis. If having ex- perienced a defeat the minis- try refused to resign or dissolve parlia- ment it would stand before the country as having violated a constitutional cus- tom as profoundly honored by the Eng- lish people as any other, and the final result could not fail to be the fall of the ministry in disgrace. It is question- able deed whether Sulisbury could hold the cabinet fogethei for such a ro- | land'of the Tneas will be absorbed b versal of a policy deemed to bo vital in the English politieal system. It is hardly to be suppesed that all of those now acting with him could be induced to thus invite apolitical destruction. Barnestly as all of them undoubtedly desive to' prevent home rule, iy is very probable that some of them would not be prepared to sacrifice all their political hgpes by a proceeding that would be regarded by o great ma- jority of the English people asa most grave and dangerous constitutional in- fraction. * M The appavently peaceful turn in Buro- pean affairs a week ago has since given place to renewed indications of a war temper, and there has been within the pust few days news of continued mili- tary preparations which seem to point unmistakably to the opening of hostili- ties s soon as the weather bacrier shall be removed. Russian troops continue to arrive at the Austria frountier, the work of fortifying goes on unceasingly, the deliberations of ten European cabi- nets are devoted chiefly to military af- fairs, and the whole aspect of the situa- tion is threatening. It has been given out on semi-official- authority from St. Petersburg, that the czar would be will- ing to maintain the peace of Europe on the condition that the great power: should consent to remove Prince Ferdi nand from Bulgaria and permit the establishment of a provisional govern- ment under Russian influences. This consent the powers will not be likely to grant. While the powers disclaim any shave in the adventure of Ferdinand, they recognize that he has become a political necessity of the first magni- tude in the present European situation. Shouldl he be displaced the Bulgurmu question would hasten the very crisis which all parties aresoanxious to avert. While Russia grumbles over the viola- tion ot the Berlin treaty, Ferdinand feels that he has become an essential factor in the preservation of European peace. He looks upon his duties in a different way from his predecessor. Prince Alexander con- sidered it reason enough for abdicating that Russia insisted upon it, and he held that in so doing he was best serv- ing Bulgaria. Prince Ferdinand would “rather leave his bones on the battle- field than abdicate,” because this latter would be abandoning and ruining Bul- garia. The present ruler possibly over- estimates his personal importance to the principality, yot he has doubtless been of real value in~ furnishing to it a head, and thereby giving & greater semblance of public order and se- curity. The report that the pow- ers contemplate a combined boycotting or *‘blockade” of Bulgaria in case Ferdi- nand should not resign, although ex- ceedingly doubtful, yet recalls the pro- cess made ready for refractory Greece when that little kingdom persisted, at great expense, in preparing to fight. There would probably be no difflculty in disposing quietly of Prince Ferdinand could the surrotnding powers only agree why they want a vacancy and for whom they want it. In the lack of such agreement and of any common notion what to do next, Prince Ferdinand scems justified in holding his place, even if only as the man i possession. If the question whether Russian or Austrian influence might predominate in Bulgaria should alone be involved Ferdinand would con- stitute a very small political factor, and Turkey would probably be able to dis- pose of her vassal without any assist- ance. But Bulgaria is the outpost which protects not me Turkey, but England and Italy, against the march of Russin upon Consts tinople and her control of the Medite ranean sea. Should the conflict arise France would, probably, iu an alliance with Russia, seck revenge for the dis- asters and humiliations inflicted by Germany, and the war would rage on the Rhine as well as on the Danube. England and Ttaly, drawn into the Austro-Germanie alliance by the high- est motives of self-interest, would con- tend with Russia and France for mari- time supremacy on the Mediterranean, The Balkan question, therefore, threat- with a ens Europe conflict more tremendous than it has exper enced since Napoleon was crushed at Waterloo. But while the political conditions that menace the peace of Europe are certainly serious, the recurring rumors of war are doubt- less in a large measure distinctly as- signable to the bxistence of the great armaments, which are lauded by those who are responsible for them as the most effectual means of nn,nur\mr' peace. The ezar of all the Ru man of violent temper and of no gr judgment, He hasat his command a vast army, and he threatens to use it to plunge Europe into war, not because the interests or the honor of his country is imperiled, or really involved at all, but because he has taken offense at what he deems a personal slight to himself. That is the explanation of his attitude which is suggested by his ac- tions, and which secms to be taken by the best informed observe Of course Russia 1s an extreme case, but the czar has the power ef dragging unwilling nations into a wi# with him; and the monarchs of Germany and Austria, it they were violent and unwise men, would find little trouble in using their armies to satisfy their personal grudges. The war that destroyed the French empire was on the part of the French emperor not so much a national asa personal war. B The situation of Pern is such as to in- vite the consideration of mankind. That unhappy country, once proverbial as the home of wealth and luxury, and still rich in mines of silver, has since the war with Chili steadily declined, until now nearly her entire population is reduced to poverty and mis Bad government has banished silver money and flooded the country with irredeema- ble puper money, which merchants have at last refused to take for their goods.

A country is always sure to progress when its leaders are interested in the development of its commerce and industry, even if they should differ as to the best method of bringing about the desired expansion. * P The attending physicians of the German crown princo are again in a wrangle over the real nature of his ail- ment.
