IT must be a weak-kneed *‘capitalist” who, according to railroad authority, had decided to put a cool million into a northwest road from Omaha, but was frightened off by the new tariff shect of the state board of transportation, This story, however, will take its place on the hook with other moldy chestnuts, —— IN CONTRADISTINCTION to the do- nothing policy of the farmers of Nobraska, who were invited to present their grievances before the state® board of transporta- tion, the action taken by the farmers of Minnesota stands in divect contrast. On being asked to present their views before the railroad commissioners of Minuesota, the farmers of that state were not at all backward in letting the commissioners know what kind of a dis- tance tariff they wanted. Through the prosident of the farmers’ ulliance a dec- lavation on the subject of the regulation of raiironds within the state was filed. By doing this the farmers of Minnesota have outlined a policy which will be of great service to the commission in making an cquitable railroad taviff, The farmers’ allinnce submits four propositions, viz.: 1. There must be no discrimination favor of large cities and against small place there must be no diserimination between per- sons and places. The average cost of all sin- le track roads in the state does not exceed 009 a mile, and rates should cover only a reasonable interest on the cost, together with pperating and maintaming expenses. 2. The shipper must have the right to choose his market and the route to market, 3, Reiter- Mtes previous declarations concerning rail- yoad taxation. 4. The present rate from Fargo or Moorhead to Chicago, T16 miles, on wheat is 23 cents per 100 pounds. Computing b that basis the rate from Moorhead to Du- luth, 250 miles, should be about 8 cents per 100 mdn. We believe that 10 cent rates on it from Moorhead to Duluth and a pro- portionate rate for all parts of the state ‘Would not only bé reasonuble but liberal to ‘e roads. in A Notable French Duel. ' Our cable dispatehes recorded. yester- dny fmorning the sensational proceed- ings in the Frénch chamber of deputies on the previous day, when Premier Flo- quet and General Bov had an acrimonous tilt, ending the latter charging the former with having im- pudently lied. Boulanger was called to | account for this language by the presi- dentof the chamber, and told that it | would be necessary to censure him. He thereupon resigned his t, and the digpatch closed with the statement that a duel would probably result, The nrom- ise hag been fulfilled. It would seem that Floquetlost no time \fter the adjournment of the chamberin ng a vindication of his ver by challenging Boulanger to combat, and the redoubtable appears to have been equally prompt in accepting. He undoubtedly expected such a result when he applied the lan- guage, and may have intended to bri it about.

It is possible however, that the afiair may be productive of consequences that will give Boulanger another opportu- nity to get a public standing and renew the agitation with which his name has become promipently identified. In al- most any other country he would be per- manently consigned to obscurity, but the French people ave not like any other, and are quite as likely to make the vanquished general again a popula idol, if he survive his wound, as to pur- sue the more sensible course of drop- ping him from the list of men who have a claim to public respect and confi- dence. e in tla pro- The upon rely a8 sov langer. find the e with the he did not ling, nor was was deadly men were Burope ngor se A Volce Froni Mississippi. Elsewhere we print a communication to the editor of THE BEE from a resi- dent of Mississippi, a republican, which makes a plain and unquestionably a trustworthy statement of the way the negroes of that state ave treated. It is a recital that ought to be impossible in this country, and no fair minded citi- zen can read it without feeling that the American people are dishonored by the existence of such a state of af- fairs, The ecitizenship conferred on the negro by the constitution is of no value to him in Mississippi. Instead of sorving as a shield and protection, it is really a source of hardship, bringing down upon him if he eve! attempt to assert any of his rights the harshest ill treatment that the descendants of the slave drivers dare to inflict. The negro is not only disfranchised, but he jeopar- dizes his lifeaf ho ventures to express an opinion not in harmony with the principles and poliey of the ruling clas: Before the law he is the equal of every other citizen, but the law is powerless to protect him in the exercise of a single right which it confers, To all intents and purposes the negro in Mis sissippi 15 no better off than in the days of slavery, if so well. He encounters quite as much eruelty, he has no better chance for a redress of wrongs, and in order to secure a livelihood he must forego his rights as a citizen, restrain his speech, and abjectly yield to the behests of the dominating power, What is true of Mississippi is essen- tinlly so of nearly all the southern states. And the consequences of the wrong which deprives the negroes of their political rights do not stop with the injustice to & race, but are extended to the government itself, the executive branch of which is now in the control of the democrucy by reason of the fact that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendment to the constitution are a dead letter in the southern statc Sen- ator Chandler, in an article on *“‘Our Southern Masters” in the July Forum, says: Lot it be borne in mind—it cannot be too often repeated—that if the constitution were in force Blaine, mstead of Cleveland, would now be president, and the national house would be republican instead of demoeratic. If the colored citizens could vote, and have their votés counted as cast,the election next fall would, with hardly the form of a contest, be republican; aud on the 4th of March, 1889, Cleveland would surrepder the executive power to a republican president, who would be sustained by a congress rvepublican in both branches.” A But the colored vote in the south will not be cast this year to any greater ex- tent than it was four years ago. It will l unconstitutionally sup- | pressed, and it will. continue to | be so long ns the democralic party | holds its grip on the south, This can- not last forever, There are conditions at work which must or later break the hold, and whenever that time comes, the colored voters will get thei political rights. Meanwhile there ap- | pears nothing hetter to do thar to ap- peal to the white voters of the country who have some sense of justice,and who n appreciate the enormity of the wrong of depriving several millions of citizens of their constitutional right to assist in driving from power the party that is responsiblo for the gravest of crimes against the black man and nst the constitution. be again sooner They Want the Earth, Jim Creighton is, as usual, playing dog in the manger, and trying his hull- dozin wetics on the council in connec tion with the proposed new city build- ings.

What would the South Omaha eattle market be without published quotations in the newspape: If the price at which cattle and hogs an be marketed in Omaha was a secret known only to the stock-buyer and com- mission man, who would venture to bring stock to this market? If Omaha stock quotations were inaccessible to the stock-raiser, he would take no chance on this market and ship his stock where the prices paid are an open secret. CANCELLING the contracts with Re- gan Bros. for work that should have been finished last season was commend- able on the part of the council. If the board of public works and the city council could at all times act as har- moniously on the question of public works, the city would be treated with due consideration by the army of contractors. —— Other Lands Than Ours. 1t is announced that Mr. Parnell will ac- cept the government's offer to introduce a bill for the appointment of a committee of judges to investigate the charges of the Lon- don Tmes against the members of the Irish parliamentary party. The attacks of the ““Thunderer’ on the Irish leaders have been very severe, and the publication of letters purporting to have been written by Paruell, and which, if authentic, would connect him with the Phaenix Park murdercrs and with the perpetrators of other outrages, has especially excited intense interest. Mr. Parnell has pronounced all of these letters forgeries, and unprejudiced men will not doubt his statement. It is incredible that Parnell, who is the most cautious and politic of men, voluntarily placed himself in the power of the Phanix park murderers, and actually committed himself in writing to an approval of assassination. But of course his denial will not satisfy those who are ready to believe anything against the chief of thoe Irish leaders. An investigation is necessary to his full vindication, and he does wisely in accepting the proposition of the governmeny for a committee of judges. He ought to re- ive at the hands of such a committee a fair and impartial investigation, but in uny event it is bette u suggested by the government than to have insisted on oue of his own, His vindication would thereby be rendered the more complete and unquestion- ubic, - The theory that 1t 1s the present policy of Germany to shut out France from any pos- sible alliance with another European power is by no means incredible. There would be @ two-fold object in such 4 consummation— first to guard against the possibility of attack from France, and, second, to place Germany in a position to relicve itself of the huge mili- tary incubus which is now draining its re- sources and adding to its indebtedness. The men now actudlly sérving in the German ariny number 1,050,000, Adding to these the reserve aud landwehr, the number reaches 2,950,000 men. The number of those able to bear arms and liable to draft, not comprised in the foregoing, is 3,225,000 Under the ro cent amendment 1o the constitution which provides thut each- person fit for military duty shall serve seven years in the standing aviny, generally from the ebmpletion of his twentieth to the begioning of his twenty year, Germany will be enabled to put between six aud seven willions of {ighting men under arws at an incaleulable cost to her industrial developwent and fiuancial prosperity, Mecunwhile the relations bo- tween FPrauce and Goraany. have never been more strained than they are now. Germany is unquestionably averse to a war with Frange, - As Bismarck said i the shatag, “if t neh wait for the ( s 1o attack t an assurance of peace for o is mo guarantee that France will not make the attack as soon as it foels strong enough. Kvidently if Germany from any possible alliance and compel it to dishand or reduce its army, the forme intry. will remove o'l poasibility of attack and at the same time materially lessen its own burdens and improve its con- dition..

Still, if the bridge scheme, with its system of floats, is practicable, it would probably be more popu lar in England than the various reasons. is more attryetive to the majority of travelers than & hole dug under it, Independently of the question of light and fresh air, rescue in case of disaster to the structure seems casic The colonization of Palestine, which is again to be attempted, is not likely to mect with greater suecess than has attended pr vious cfforts jn that direction. The few Hebrews who &t different periods have set- tled in Palestmo have gencrally failed to support themselves for any length of time, and in the end have become a burden on their richer brethren. The united testimony of ail travelers who have visited the country is that Palestine could never have been as vich u region as represented, and that the term *‘a land flowing with milk and honey” must be taken in a comparative sense and as lustrating the extravagauce of Oriental imagery. It has but few agrioul- tural possibilities and no opportunities for establishing trades and manufactures in any partof it. This latter fact would of itself check any effort ag colonization. The modern Hebrew, while retaming the traditions of his ancient raith and preserving the ancient race habits, has not hesitated to identify himself with everything tending to the moral and social elevation of mankind, and the dveam of a Messianic kingdom - has already been parttally realized by the breaking down of race prejudices, imee fora siip b lip. Cynical d at once to se Russiun discu tarcstedness not portend imm cor project, from jove stream +n There seems to be no end to Russian en- terprise in Central Asia. Not contented with building a railroad which will facilitate the exchange of products and open up new out- lets for Russian industry, and is also of im- mense strategic value, a regular steamer ser- vice for passengers and merchandise is to be established on the Oxus. In her Asiatic ventures Russia has aimed at the establish- ment of order and of confidence, and a ¢ tain return in revenue for her own heavy ¢ penses. In her schemes of agzgrandizement she has always combined diplomatic with military machinery and gained ascendency over wild and primitive peoples. Tn nothing has this been more forcibly illustrated than by her peaceful conquests in Central Asin; and yet Great Britain stands aloof, watehing with indifference Russia’s advance toward India, and trusting for safety to a “scientific frontier” which would be entirely uscless in stemming the tide of conquest. ' One of the greatest obstacles in the way of planting the seeds of eivilization in Central Afvica are the terrible outrages committed by tribes of plundering and slave-dealing Arabs. They are as ferocious and untamable as tigers, and cannot be made amenable to civilizing influences. The knowledge of the existence of a peaceful and industrious tribe seews to inflame them with greed and hatred. It is no uncommon thing, explorers say, to finda town of 5000 quict and hard- working inhabitants, and on the next visit to sec nothing but ruined huts, the people hav- ing been killed or eaptured by these children of Ishmacl. Tt1s easy, therefore, to realize th difficulties undey which Stanley must have labored, and the indomitabic energy and per- severance which have enabied Emin Bey to transform a savage people into peacaful till- ers of the soil.

The Negroes of Mississippi Practically Distranchised. HILLSDALE, Miss,, July 7.—To the editor of T Bee: The rebel briga- diers are bossing the government and if “Collar” Cleveland and “*Bandana” Thurman are elected this year, they will have accomplished by fraud what they failed of the sword, and will wic] the same influence of antebellum days, If it be the wish of the people of the north and west to overthrow the pres- ent cireus and hippodrome A solid north vs. a solid south,” should be the watehword. The republicans in the south are bound hands and feet and have been cast between the devil and the deep sea. Our material interests, though pro- gressing to some extent, are far behind those of any other section of the coun- ¢ owing to the numerous hell-black outrages that have been and ave still being committed upon a defenceless cluss of citizens—negroes—which con- stitute almost the entire working class. As slavery left a sort of aristoers ashamed to let the nogro see them work and who consider the negro a beast of burden, there is a class of idlers which readily commits the hellish out- rages that the betfer elass of white citizens would not think of, and as the prejudiced sentiments of slavery have not yet died out these outrages are condoned, when the perpetrators should be severely pun- ished.
