T MR, m to hefore me_and subscrived in my THE Union club is to be commended for urging the Missouri Pacific to put on suburban traing. But what has that to do with building the Omaha & Yank- ton in sixty days? ——— A scHEME is now on foot to invest many millions of dollars in building a vast system of railroads in Brazil. A combination is said to have been formed among Euglish and Canadian capital- ists for the purpose. Judging from the past, investments made in railvroad building in South America have not panned out successfully. Butthe Brit- isher ig decidedly venturesome with bis money in projects which look to an American extremely hazardous. ALONG side of the decrease in earn- ings of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy comes the news that the divi- dend was cut down just one-half, and that the stocks of the road have suf- fered a sharp decline. The managers attribute this bad showing to the poor financial condition of the Burlington & Northern. But the public will take * this statement with a grain of allow- suce. In spite of all its protestations to the contrary the road owes its de- pleted treasury and present nervous condition to the unnatural stand taken by the management against its en- gineers. The loss in public esteem which the Burlington sustained can nover be estimated. S SENATOB CULLOM of Illinois ha§ in- troduced a Hennepin amendment to the river and harbor bill, authorizing the secretary of war to take the preliminary measures for constructing & ship canal from Chicago to the Mississippi. The scheme to conuect the Mississippi with Lake Michigan is a very old mecasure that has been agitated for years. But congress has never gone farther than to survey a route, and the state of Illi- nois has considered the project of top little commercial value to appropriate a dollar toward it. If the enterprise promised a fair roturn for the money invested, the canal would have been built long ago by private capital. Canal building is not much in favor, and the Hennepin project if undertaken may turn out an expensive experiment, m— THREE-QUARTERS of the delegates to the uational republican convention have already been elected. Ninetecn states bave chosen their delegates at large. Five states will be added this weex, New Hampshire, Michigan, New Jer- sey, Kansas and Wisconsin. Next weck Nebraska and a number of other states will fall into line. The preferences for prosident of the states and territorios which have already held conventions would be given to the prominent candi- dates in about the following order: Blaine, Sherman, Gresham, Harri- sou, Allison, Alger. Blaine's strength comes trom the New England and high protectionist states. Sherman gained the support of most of the southern states as well as Ohio. Gresham is en- dorsed by 1llinois, Harrison by Indiana, and Allison by fows. What the out- look will be in the political kaleido- scope at the next turn of the wheel is of course mere speculation which, though interesting, is not decisive. e——— 17 is reported that the outlook is un- favorable for the American wheat crop of 1887-8, If this be so, will the price of that commodity rise in the Liverpool market? Considerable umeasiness is already feit in foreign markets that any diminution 1n the export of wheat from this country will seriously affect the market price of that product. England draws her wheat supplies from the United States, Kussia, India and Aus- traliain the order named. But the impor- tation from India for the past twelve mounths ending March, 1888, was omly 26,000,000 bushels as compared with 41,500,000 bushels the previous year. The Aus- tralian wheat erop isas yet compara- tively small, and whatever is exported this year must go to fill up the gap caused by India’s shortage. If Russia be unable to supply the demand of the Liverpool market to make up the Awerican deficiency, it is eertain that the price of wheat will go up. It is im- possible to prediot how much of a crop Russia will have, or even 1n the event of a full orop, how many bushels will be permitted to be exported. The wheat market is therefore in astate of un- certalnty and the price of wheat will fluctuate until wore definite returns of the state of tho crop in Awmericaase wade. Sowing the Winds. As had hoen foreshadowed the rail- roads were triumphant at the Ashland oonvention. Charles Greens, the attor- ney of the Ohioago, Burlington & Quincy, and C. O, Bates, attorney ot the Chicago & Rock Island, were chosen in the first ballot to represent the re- publicans of the First district of No- braska at the national convention. The republicans of Douglag county, had surrendered to Greene in advance, and he went into the convention with a support of his own selection. That shameless act of capitulation to railroad dictation Tnr Ber has already con- demned, as it deserved. The repub- licans ol Gage county seem to have ‘been no less subservient to the demands of thé corporations. Thus the formality of an election was little better than a farce. Corporate monopoly was in the saddle, and with its usual audacity it rode rough-shod over what feable opposition it encoun- tered. The republicans of the wealth- iest and most pulous district in Nebraska wil therefore bo represented at Chicago by two men whose entire interests and sympa- thies are wrapt up with the railroads, one of which is even now at war with labor, and whatever influence these men oan exert upon the national convention will be used to commit the party to the cause of corporate monopoly and in op- position to any candidate whose sympa- thies are known to be with the people against such monopoly. Could anything more deploruble have happened for the republicans of this district and of the state? ‘We again warn the republicans of Nebraska that there are breakers ahead if a supreme and successful effort is not made to defeat any further plans of the railroads to foist their hirelings upon the party to misrepresent it in the national con- vention. There is still a chance for the party to repudiate this corporate dicta- tion, and ail who desire its future suc- cess will await with anxious solicitude to see if it has the wisdom and the courage to do thi Sere—— That Elevator Trust. The editor of THE BEE has received a letter from Patrick Egan, in which he emphatically denies that he hasany connection with any grain elevator trust, or that he is especially in the in- terest of the Burlington round. Our in- formation with regard to Mr. Egan and the grain elevator trust was obtained some weeks ago by dispatches from Lin- coln, which had appeared in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In that telegram Mr. Egan was represented as the lead- ing spirit of the new trust, which, it was predicted, would soon include one hun- dred and thirty elevators, operated on the line of the Burlington road. The only information procurable at this time as regards the trust is embod- ied in the following articles of incorpo- ration, now on file in the office of the secretary of state at the capitol: Articles of incorporation of Nebraska Ele- vator and Grain company.

In tostimony whereof I have hereto set my hand and notarial seal at Lincoln, in said county, the day and year last above written. [sEAL] Joux A. AMEes. Notary Public, Taking Mr. BEgan at his word, it is certainly not going too far to rank him among those who have been more or less politically allied with the Burlington road. At any rate, such was the charge openly made in the Lan- caster county republican conveuntion, and while a majority of that body has instructed for Mr. Egan, we doubt very much whether theve is any material difference betwoen the attorney of the Burlington road who was elected at Ashland, and a member of the grain elevator combine, who is absolutely under control of the Burlington road by reason of the peculiar relations which that combine sustains to the railroad company. —— ‘Wil Mr. Dorsey Explain ? The present indications are favorable to the renomination of Mr. Dorsey in the Third congressional distriet. He is reported to have secured the delega- tions from most of the counties, and he and his friends are said to feel entirely confident of the result. They have been working industriously and zealously to this end, and their labors appear to have been thus far signally successfu It is among the probabilities that M Dorsey will be renominated by accla- mation, though he may deem it expedi- ent to allow a ballot in order to gratify some of his competitors with a com- plimentary vote. It would have the appearance of magnanimity, and mightdo Mr. Dorsey more good than would a renomination by acclama- tion. If there is any advantage to be gained in this way or any other Mr. Dorsey may be trusted to discover it. Mr. Dorsey has been among his con- stituents for some days, but so far as we have heard he has offered no explana- tion of his last change of front on the question of tariff reform. Will he do s0? It will be remembered that before the assembling of congress Mr. Dovsey submitted to one or more interviews, in which be stated that he was in favor of 4 rovision of the tariff and a reduction of duties. Having been oue of the strongest protectionists this announcement that he had changed, or materially modi- fied his views, was heralded throughout tho country as a notable example of the progress tariff reform views were mak- ing, particularly in the west. Mr. Dorsey awoke one moraing to find him- self almost famous. He enjoyed the distinction of being included in the list of tariff reformers for several months, when the aunouncement came that he would speak in the house in opposition to the Millsbill. He did se, und we have the speech before us in the Congressional Reeord of May 2, wheve it occupies nearly six pages. We do not find in this speech a single statoment or inti- mation that its authoe is in favor of any general revision and reduction of tarift duties. On the contrary the specch is as uncompromising in defense of high- tariff protection as amy that has been delivered in congress sinee the tariff debate begun. If there is any supporter of the existing tarift policy in congress who has showu less disposition than Me, Dorsey, as diselosed in his speech, to make any concession toward taviff re- form we do not kuow who he is. We do not propose now to discuss the views presented by Mr. Dorsey on the floor of the house of representatives though it may come in order to doso hereafter. What we wmerely desire to suggest is that the former constitucnts of Mr. Dorsey have a right to an explanation of his reasons, after having heralded 0 the country that he was in favor of tariff revision and reduction, for changing frout and again wmarshaling himself sguarely unpder the bhanuer of bigh-tariff protee- tion. The gréaf'mejority of them ap- pear to be aggin dieposed to give him thoir confldenge for another term in congress, and§ every consideration of honor and duty demands that he shall tell them frankly and fully why an as- surance ho gavé Yogs than six months ago has not been kept, and why he ad- vocates the mafntenance of a policy which most of Kis constituents know to be inimical to their interests and wel- fare. An explahation from Mr. Dorsey is due and will b8 awaited with great interest. "o S ——— Other Lands Than Ours. The report that Mr. Gladstone is in any degree discouraged at the outlook of the policy with respect to Ireland which he is championing will not be readily belioved by any but tho most ardent opponents of that policy. The “‘grand old man” is not unlike other men in sometimes fecling that a causo is not making the headway that it ought to, but it is not to be believed that he for a mo ment doubts the ultimate victory of & princi- ple which all the friends of liberty approve, and which tho whole spirit and tendency of the age say must ultimately triumph. It may be that the demoeratic principle of home rule is sproading somoewhat too rapidly to sult the British idea, but the principle being right, a man of the political experfence and foresight of Mr. Glagstone cannot doubt its final success. The specch of Mr. Parnell at the banquet given him in London more than any recent event has stamped his capacity s a leader, for it was pitched on akoy of human ht 80 high, 80 broad and so catholic as re- s the rights and freedom of man, that a nce to outside interference of any sort would haye marred its dignity and forca. It was more than a political speech and dealt with principles that prime ministers and prelates could not criticise, let alone con- demn. In the remavkable career of Mr. Parnell we can recall no other incident that 80 clearly evinces greatuess and fitness for the place he occupies as leader of the Irish people in the greatest struggle they have made for centuries, © As long as thoy trust Mr. Parncll aud he lives, their cause cannot 2o backward. His first public utterance since Rome interfered for England, stauips the man with the very highost qualities of leadership and shows him to be in full accord with the highor aspirations of the liberal thought of the time, not only in hisown coun- try, but throughout the world. * «*u The results of the muvicipal eloctions throughout France seom to show that a “St. 1d of the music halls of Paris” is not ssavily a popular hero in the provinces. The enormous vote cast for General B langer in the Department of the Nord indi- cated a serious danger to the republic. When a man who, without having carned the repu- tation of a great soldier in war, but who is nevertheless nothing but a soldier, asvires to a dictatorship, and & large proportion of - the people seem to fdvor his aspirations, the prospact for a stabjgand constitutional gov- erument is not chgdking. The vote in the rural parts of the department was much more serious and significant than the voto of Paris, and an offsgt to it was much to be desired by the frignds of the republic. This seems to have been furnished, since 1t is an- nounced that the municipal elections *“have given hope to the gevernment,” and especi- ally that the Boylfngist districts for the most part have returned conservatives. It is ot easy to reconcile these returns with the overwhelming votg, by which General Bou- langer himself was,chosen. The explanation may lie in the acceunt that has already been given of the sourcfs, of the. gencral's popu- larity. We were assured, aud it is not im- probable, that theé ‘votes for him were not. votes for his supposed “‘policy” 8o much as testimonies of gratitude for the ef- forts he made as minister of war to promote the comfort of the pri- vate soldiers. In France an appeal to the “soldier vote” reaches every houscbold in the country. If the vote for Boulanger w: not meant as o voto for Boulangism, then it is comparatively plain why the municipal elections should tell a story so different from that told by the election in the dapartment of the Nord. The hero 18 not now a candidate, and the threat against the republic which his ambition constitutes has been mado much clearer since his election than it was before. Whatever be the explanation, the fact that the Boulangists are less strong than they scemed to be @ month ugois in itself aus- picious. x u The arrival of the mouth of May without bringing the Russians has encouraged the Bulgarians to think that Prince Ferdinand after all be left to rule over them. He is certainly stronger now than immediately after his election, and a forcible attempt of Russia to expel him might fairly be protested against as too long delayed apd as an active conspiracy against the peace of Burope. A few months ago the military preparations of Russia on the Austrian frontier foreboded war with the opening of spring. But the campaigning season is here, and the situation is more tranquil than throughout the winter. Something is holding baclk Rus- sia. Is it a feeling that the turmoil in France would prevent the latter from being an ef- fective allyt Is it the thought that Germany might resent a stirring up of strife at this crisis in her emperor’'s hfe! At all events, there is a pereeptible tone of elation w Prince Ferdinand’s speechies on bis tour through Bulgaria, and for the first time a new note is struck in the remarks of Minister Stambu- loff, who accompanies him, that, “while Prince Alexander had not the courage to remain, Ferdinand responded to the coun- try's appeal.” Thus devotion to the memory of the bero of Slivnitzu fs dying away. « w“u Greece is a kind of international blistering ointment which Russian intriguers ave in the habit of applylng to Turkey when they want to irritate the porte. Not that the Helwenic kingdom is of much ageount itself, or that it is capable of any comwidcrable achievement. It is worthless as an ally and contemptible as‘an enemy, but geographical position and sturdy protectos wake it a very uncom- fortable neighbor I'ud}he sultan, The old game has been played by Greeee this time in Macedonia. The Turkish minister has been withdrawa from Athens because the Greel government mainfaps its consul at Mouastir, although charged by the porte with fomenting political agita- tions under coverf brigandage. Like a thrifty Greek, he egubined patriotism with plunder, and of course was uplield by an ap- preciative governm Out of this affair very serious rmuplifl‘vtms may arise, which would afford Russia opportunity to inter- fore without antagonizing Austria. It would BOL surprise us therefore to Licar of a rising in Crete very soon, an@ a demand by Greece for its annexation. Should this happen, Turkey might be proveked into some overt act which the czar, a8 head of the Greek church, would feel called upon to resent and chastise. Be this as it may, however, there i8 quite enough in this Mouastir affair to set Europe by the ears if it suits Russia to sbape evouts in that diroction. e [ECopenhagen enters the list of cities that are 10 hold umiversal expositions this year, yet so quietly that few are aware of her purpose, and perhaps fewer that the opening of her fair occurs next week. Its industrial portion is of local contribution, while its art. produets will be from Denwmark and fyom other parts of Europe. - With thug exhi- bitign at whe Danish cavilal going on at the same time as the one Barcelona, tourists who have a liking for such shows will bo able to command @ wide variety of ecli- mate for visiting them; and there are also two or three other special world's fairs in Europa this year.

The admitted evil of the tariff tax is the in- tensity with which it bears upon the sub- sistence of the poorer classos. If its applica- tion could be restricted to the articles of comfort or luxury used by well-to-do citi- izens, no serious objection could be raised againsteit on the score of injustice. If the choap textile fabrics of the poor wore ad- mitted duty free, while the costly materials which only the rich can afford to buy had a heavy impost upon them, it is possible that extravagauce might be checked, as some of the econamists believe, while those of small means would be permitted to obtain the full value of their earnings in the purchase of the absolute necessaries of Lifo. - STATE AND TERRITORY.

Oxroup, Neb., May 9.—To the Editor of Tug Bee: In yesterday’s issuc I saw an ar- ticle on the Alma wreck written by a Mr. A. V. Jounson. In said letter Iflnd sev- eral mistakes, and I realize it is my duty to set the matter right before the public. As said letter was in Tup Ber I send this also to you, The only motive I have in doing so is to take blame off where it does not belong, there being enough of true blame attaching o the best of us.

H, Harmon, trainmaster and W. 5. Perry, bridge superintendent, passed Ox- ford on a special at 11 a. m. for the scene of the wreck and arrived there at 12:10 p. w. The wife of the wjured man (H Richard- son) asked the station agent (€. H. Marvin) at Oxford if there was any way of gefting to the wreck, as she wished 0 go and take a physician. The agent immediately tele- graphed for & special, and in litle loss than “n hour a Ayauml was ready to start and did start at 7:52 4. m. to convey said parties to the wrack. He speaks about the way the passengers were trcated at Oxford wnd that they could not get away, and also that they could not find out anything from the officials. The passengers that were to go west left Oxford at 6:06 p. m. and those going east at 10:25 p. m. via Kenesaw cut-off, The whole statement coucerning Oxford is incorrect, As to flying statements he heard and wrote out 1 can say nothing, for at such times there are all kinds of repores, 1 have heard dozens of them, A few days since a man bad his foob crushed while passing be- tween cars while the train was making up at Oxford.
