ATTORN L £ has given the uds in the state to un- derstand that a road on paper has no rights which the law hound to re- spect. In his own words railroads must “‘either fish or cut bait.” REerorTs from the ranges of Wyoming and Montana are most favorable.

The only shadow on the prospect of a profitable season is the scarcity of soring rains, of the Pennsyl- railroad, has innugurated a rigid of economy in the management of that powerful system. But he has not found it necessnry to cut down wages, and that is where he shows himself a railroad manager and financier of the first order. ALL attempts to confuse Parnell and connect him with the violent section of Trish nationals has, so far, proved a total failure. The man who united Ireland ag it had never been united before, who forced the great English liberal party to accept his terms, who crushed cal- umny with his heel, can not be out- witted by a pettifogging lawyer. Tue first shipment of cattle from Nebraska to Scotland is reported from Kearney. This is an industry which, from its peculiar signifleance, will create considerable interest. Since the development of the dressed beef trade the business of sending live stock abroad has fallen into disuse. It is likely that the inlustry may revive, and 1n that event Nebraska demon- strates her ability to take the initiative. direct SECREPARY BLAINE returned to his desk in the state department yesterday, and the dispatches report that he looked well, showing no tracesof his recent iil- ness. Incidental to his return to duty was the formal presentation to the pres- ident of the new British minister. There has doubtless been a great deal of exaggeration regarding the physical condition of Mr. Blaine, whose prostra- tion was due, doubtless, simply to the strain of official duties, which has been somewhat severe ever since he went into the state department. OMAlIA is one day nearer porthern Nebraska, southe Dakota and the Black Hills than St. Paul, Everything elso being equal, the jobbers of this city have a docided advantage over St. Paul, handicapped, as it were, for the trade of this territory. Omaha's rival for the control of the business of this region is Chicagg. Despite the advan- tages possessed by that city in certain lines of trade, Omaha has been virtual- 1y-able to drive Chicago out of the gro o business of northern Nebraska. ‘What has been done in the grocery line can with persistent effort be done in other branches of trade, e Ir 15 but a question of time when the leading insurance companies of the country, following the e ple of the New York Li‘e, will make Omaha their permanent division headquarters by the crection of massive oftice and store buildings. As a safe and profitalle field for investment this city offers vx- ceptional advantages, which these con- servative compuanies are quick to recog- nize. They have already established their agencies, both for insurance and loaning, and it remains for them to make their home in our midst. The probabilities that the Natioval Lafe In- surance Company of Vermont will erect its owu ofice building this season ure, most promising, This 1s a most couraging sign. en- A HUMILIATING APOLOGY. The appointmentof Mr. George H. Bates, of Delaware, ns one of the Amer- ican commissioners to the Berlin eon- forence on the Samoan question, was made on the ground of fitness, He had given the question long and careful study, and was known to be as well in- formed regarding it as any man in the country. Before his appointment he had written an article on Samoa for the Century, which the publishers of that magazine had accepted, and which was published soon «fter its author was ap- pointed commissioner, although it is understood he asked to have itsup- pressed. It reflected sharply upon Ger- man methods in Samon, and vigorously maintained the attitude and claims of the United States, Tt was unquesticna- bly the zandid and honest judgment of Mr. Bates, and being such he should have adhered to it. But one of the first ncts of Mr. Bates after his arrival in Berlin was to apolo- gize to Count Herbort Bismarck for what he had said in that article, and if he been correctly veported the apology was of the most abject and humiliating character. An explanation of the circumstances under which the avticle written and published, would e been proper, but there was no demand upon the com- missioner to debase himself by stating that the article was written by ‘‘a pri- vate and uninformed person,” and the as a consequence it had “‘lost all point.” He could not have put himselfin a more humiliating and contemptible position than he was placed by this con- fession, and when in addition he pro- fessed the utmost esteem for Germany it is impossible to doubt that Count Bis- marck felt for him the contempt which his abject attitude deserved. Of course whatever value may have before been given the views of Mr. Bat s expressed in this article, has been destroyed by his disclaimer. and this result has by no means improved the standing or worth of that gentle- man as a representative of the United States at Berlin. No confidence can be felt in him there or in his own country. His self-stultification has destroyed his usefulness, and he can havdly be re- garded with respect by any member of the commission, and least of all, by the representatives of Germany. He will doubtless stand with his American col- leagues in support of whatever con- ditions they may agree upon, but he will exert no influence upon the de- liberations of the conference. has CONTROL OF TRUSTS. suggestive thought on the of how to deal with trusts careful consideration. This question is at present commanding wide and serious discussion. It is prom- inent in the minds of publicists and peo- ple in Burope and Canada. as well as in the United States. The disastrous col- lapse of the copper syndicate in France has made the subject of such combina- tions one of great interest there. In Germany the government has been called upon to consider what shall be done to arrest the growth of syndicates, whose policy is believed to be largely responsible for the financial and indus- trial depression in that, country. In England the formation of trusts has av- tracted the attention of statesmen, and the Canadian government has been considering what action it shall take to suppress combinations there. Thus the subject has become of nearly universal interest, and nowhere is it of greater concern to the people than in the United States, where the new form of monopoly has its largest and most aggressive de- velopraent. A leading lawyer of Philadelphia, in a communication to the Record of that city, lucidly points out the methods within the power of the states for curb- ing the injurious operation of trusts and for preventing their future forma- tion. He remarks that the corner-stone of the new structure 1s the legal capac- ity of one person becoming the sole owner of all the property there is, or can be produced, in the world. For this, English and Awerican law has suggested no remedy. [ts impractic- ability is the protector, and the only one, against such an evil. The impos- sibility of any one man controlling, by ownership, all the property, even of one species, in the world—wheat, corn, sugar, ete.—is a suflicient protection for the present. The result of the attempt at monopolizing any one product is so uniformly ruinous that men having the means that might justify the hope of success, are too well trained to make the attempt. In this direction, says the writer from whom we quote, lies the remedy thut should be applied. The remedy proposed is to prohibit the use of those artificial contriv- ances that have been given to the commercial world by the state to relicve it from the dangers in- cident to the use of merely natural powers. Passing over partnerships as being natural agencies whose dan- gerous’ powers are restricted by the perils attendant on their exercise, there are two modern contrivances by which men are enabled to combine for power almost indefinitely and yet limit the stake., These are charters and Limived partnerships. It is held that these arti- ficial ereatures of the state actually op- press the community; that the mears of oppression to an indefinite extent are actually presented to all who see fit to use them, and that without this machin- ery the evil could not have existed, It is in limited partnerships, but more espacially rters, thut the danger lies, and oue of the measures suggested is the muicing of all stockholders liable as partners for ail transactions by or for ac- count of the corporation not authorized by the charier. That iz, apply the law of purtnorship to them., Another meas- ure 15 to create lability for all uects in the corporate name and de- stroy all vights arisiug out of such contracts. Iu addition make all con- tracts by which factories owned hy one set of persons can be controlled by another, as to working or lying idle, or being conunected in dealings, prima facie proof of an illegal combination. These are the vulnerable poiuts of attack aud the weapons that are in the hands of the community, and very likely they would be found offective in accomplish- ingithe end desived if the stale would ) / Every question should receive co-operate in employing them. Such co-operation is necessary to the success of any movement against the trusts, and it presents a practical difficulty that may not be easily overcome. PAUL VANDERVOORT. The assaults of the New York Times on Paul Vandervoort are not of anything like 80 miuch importance as the fact thav he holds the office of chief of the railway mail ser- vice at Omaha. The truth about Vander- voort is that he is the most tenacious of friends and the bitterest of enemies, He nover ceases laboring for those he likes or against those he hates, His dismissal years ago was secured by his enomies purely as a matter of politics. Gresham removed him because he had fought Gresham, and this action was sustained by the Van Wyck ele- ment of Nebraska politics because Vander- voort had fought them. The nickname of Vanderbum given Van- dervoort by Tne Bre is slanderously malig- nant. There isnto man in this country farther from the bum than Paul Vandervoort, who never drinks, and whose associates are not at all of the rowdy order Perhaps it wouid have been wiser in Colonel Rosewater not to have meddled with Paul Vandervoort’s aspirations. Mr. Van- dervoort is in office after all, and as he is lo- cated in Omaha now, he may be perniciously active in local politics in the future, much to Colonel Rosewater’s disgust.—Republican. Paul Vandervoory 1s not chief of the roilway mail service at Omaba. He has nothing whatever to do with the rail- way mail service. The position he holds is a sinecure created for him under the title of superintendent of mails, which, translated into plain En- glish, means chief-porter-of-mail-sacks and pverseer-of-the-mail-wagon that hauls the mail sacks from the depot to the postoffice. Between that menial service and the position of general superintendent of the railway mail ser- vice of the whole United States, to which Vandervoort had the sublime gall to aspire, there is a very marked difference. But Vandervoort should never have been appointed even to this very sub- ordinate place, because he is unfit for any public service and becnuse his ap- pointment stultifies the head of the postofice department. A man with Vandervoort’s habits and malodorous vecord should never be permitted to hold any position in the civil service, and especially 1 the postal service. The New York 7imes is not the only paper that hasdenounced Vandervoort's restoration to the postal service. The New York Evening Post and other leading journals have characterized his reappointment to a minor position as a precedent that cannot fail to demoralize the postal service and reflect seriously upon the administration. This protest against Vandervoort is not because he has been assigned to a prominent position, but because his previous record in the service should have barred him out. Vandervoort was not dismissed by Judge Gresham because he had foughu ham. As postmaster-general, Mr. Gresham had nothing to fightover with Vandervoort, who wus a mere railway clerk at Omaha. But Postmaster- General Gresham dismissed Vander- voort because he had been insubor- dinate ; had made false re- ports to the devartment, and had been absent from his post of duty at Omaha 965 days in one single year. It was only after he had been dismissed in disgrace that Vandervoort fought Gresham, as well as his first assistant, General Frank Hatton. Vandervoort is an inveterate brag- gart and liar. He magnifies himself and has made uses of his connection with the Grand Army for base ends. He sought to use the Grand Army club over the heads of Gresham and Hatton, but utterly failed to intimidate them by his threats. The nickname of “Vanderbum” is not a slander. It is a matter of common notoriety that Van- dervoort’s associates, when he was chief clerk, were ward bum- mers, roustabouts and rowdies of the lowest degree. It is notorious that he often detailed railway mail clerks from the service to assist him in packing ward caucuses and fighting at political primaries, and sub- stituted for these regular mail clerks irresponsible vagabonds and bummers who were transported in the mail cars in charge of the mails without even taking the oath, It is notorious that Vandervoort was hired and paid by the Union Pacific railroad for conducting the legislative oil-rooms at Lincoln with theirdrunken orgies and vile methods of decoying members into corruption by downright bribery. These facts were all known to the Nebraska delegation in congress, at whose 1nstance Paul Vandervoort has been made a pensioner on the govern- ment. And it does not reflect credit upon their judgment that among so many deserving republicans this leader of bummers and political strikers should be given preference for position. PaulVandervoort’s pernicious notivity in local politics is not looked to with ap- prehension. But the question is whether Postmaster-General Wana- maker has made a place for Vandervoort, to give him a chance to use his posi- tion in the postal service, for pucking primaries and conventions, or whether the department will compel him to at- tend to his mail sacks and leave the management of local politics to citizens who are not on the vostoflice pay roll.

The examination of Mr, Parnell before the commission has thus far elicited nothing to strengthen the cause of the prosecution, or which is, in the least degree, detrimental to the character, policy and purpose of the great Irish leader. All efforts to connect Parpell with illegal metbods and with measures of violence, either as an active par* ticipant or sympathizer, have utterly failed- but they have given him the opportunity to show more clearly and forcibly to the world the uprightness of his course and the patriot- ism of his aims. He has been enabied to demonstrate that his purpose has been re- formatory, rather than revolutionary; that he hus sought w0 wrest wothiug from the British empire, but simply to obtain justice for Ireland. He has shown that lus counsel and influence have been steadily and cou- sisteatly exerted iu opposition to extrowme measures outdida of the law, and no eandid man will doubt that to him is due the credit of having maintained among the Irish people what, under the exasperating circumstances, must bo regarded as a most remarkable re spect for peace and order. The vindication of Parnell is aiready complete, but when this investigation is ended the result will present him as a man whose wisdom, patriot ism, forbearance and unselfish devotion to the cause he champions, entitle him to an illustrious place among the groatest who have striven for the rights of the people against the oppression and injustice of their rulers, RS The financial and industaial condition of Germany at present appears to be that of e treme depression, A correspondent at Bor lin of an English journal thinks the present economical situation in Germany should be made the special study of national econ- omists, He belicves that many of them would be induced to revise theories which they now defend with much skill. He insists that the distribution, not tho accumulation, of wealth is the life-blood of commerce, and while wealth accumulates at present in Gor- many in large amounts in the banks of com bined capital, 1t is far from being properly or profitably distributed. He wmext procends to draw a comparison between Berlin, on the one hand, and London and Paris on the other, in order to illustrate the enormous difference between accumulation and distribu- tion of wealth in I in. While speculation is assuming vast proportions the commercial classes, especially the shop-keepers, complain that business is slow and profits small. Only the venders of cheap and shoddy articles are prosperous, So, he claims, that the growth of the Berlin stock exchange does not indi- cate a corresponding increase in national wealth, On the other hand, ke contends that while in Paris, London and Brussels the retail tradere are not at their ease, yet it is admitted that money circulates more freely and in incomparably larger amounts in the commercial channels of those cities that it does in the cities of Germany. This writer concludes that the stagnation in the eircula- tion of money in Germany, and the further fact that the quality of goods bought and sold in that country is inferior to thoso bought and sold clsewhere, are largely due to the system of conventions and syndicates which work exclusively for the benefit of a small number of producers, wiile it restricts the spheres of commerce and thus fails to promote the solid and general prosperity of the pecple. e The death of Crown Prince Rudolph caused the discontinuance this year of the ceremony of footwashing which had before been annually performed by the emperor of Austria, This is the first time during the emperor's reign of forty years the function has not been discharged by his majesty. Some years years ago the cmpress ceased to per- form her part m the yearly ceremony owing to failing health, but last year the emperor went through the formality of washing the feet of twelve old men. The religious ser- vice of the footwashing was instituted 1 the middle ages as & lesson of humility to the proud emperors of the Hapsburg dynasty, and every year for the last four centuries, with occasional exceptions, as in 1548, the reigning emperor has washed the feet of twelve old men, while his consort has per- formed the same office for twelve old women. The present emperor has always officiated at this coremony with a remarkable and touch- ing reverence, but there1s no denying that the function had somewhat outgrown popular reverence, and was no longer in keeping with what strong-minded people call *the spirit of the age.” The twelve old men and the twelve old women who had been selected, as usual, from among the poor of Vienna to figure in this year's ceremony have received the cus- somary bountics—that is, each a completo suit of clothes, a purse full of gold and sil- ver coins, and a dinner of four courses, with a silver cover, a goblet, and a wine jug. RA Under the repeated punishments inflicted upon them by British troops the natives of West Africa will at length vealize that it is dangerous to interfere with the march of trade. The destruction of the chief town of the Wandab tribe, in the interior, north- east of Sierra Leone, is the latest practical lesson taught them. Of late years a great impetus has been given to commerco in this region by the tribes converted to Moham- medanism, who have welcomed Europeans on the coast and have become the interme- diaries between them and the negroes of the interior. These latter, however, resent the intrusions and encroachmeuts of the traders and their go-betweens, and have for generations been 1n the habit of blackmailing and plundering travelers. Occasionally also they have attacked the trading stations, While commerce doubtless does not appear as sacred in African eyes as in European, yet the progress of trade is nnquestionably that of civilization, and wherever the sway of white men extends the horrivle natives' prac- tices of beheading and of making human suc- rifices by the hundreds are checked or abol ished. The advance of European civilization also diminishes slavery. American merchants are interested in these movements, there be- ing a growing use of American proaucts in West Africa. *n The pork packers of the United States will be interested in the strtement that Russia is making an attempt to get a hold of the trade in salt pork, which is a new export for that country. Papers on the curing of pork, ham and bacon are being read at different towns by experts who have been sent abroad to study the subject. ‘‘Theoretically,” says the English consul at Tagganrog, *'this new industry scems easy to introduce, but its os- tablishment on a practical basis n south Russia is doubtful. The economic condition of the inhabitants must first be raised con- siderably before any care will be bestowed by farmers ou cattle, which at present are sadly neglected and miserably fed, as is shown by the meat sclling i the market. Reports show that'the trial shipment of salt pori (twenty-three railway wagonioads), made from Eletg wore very successful, but later exports m;%. other points left a mar- gin of profit, whieh will alone deter Russian traders from seriously taking up this branch, The government, however, is fostering this industry, The imperial banks are empow- ered to make advances of 50 to 60 per cent on the value, and 40,000 rubles have been as- signed for the cmm’*uuuon of a slaughter- house, ete., at Griafl.” At present there is a very general want of the knowledge and skill necessary for establishing a successful trade; and although in the southeastern provinces there are large numbers of pigs suitable for certain qualtities of export, there 1s not much prospect of serious competition in the near future from lluufiin. The new constitution of Japan, which pro- vides for representative government, is likely to produce great changes in that country. At the present time there are in Japan 83,517 persons who pay over $10, an- nually, in taxes, of whom 802,505 have the right both of voting and of baing elected to the local assemblies, in which 2,172 members sit. It ia calculated that about 630,000 natives will vote for national representatives. These experiments in local government have been carried on about ten years, and have proved reasonaly successful, besides being good training schools. The day of national elec tion is fixed for July 1, annually, and it is highly probable that parties will at onea ba gin to form, the voting lists be made, and the diet be called to mwest in the new build- ings atroady bogun in Tokio, by Dacomber 1, 1890, Considering that,in its central principls, the new constitution roots itself in all the past of Japan, and that the provisions for popular suffrage are but the expression, in the form of ordered law, of the claims of the men who, 1 leading tho national movement in 1868, did but embody the desire of centurios, thore seems every reason for hope of suc- coss. e The shah of Persia, who has loft Teheran for Euarope, is oxpected at the Russian frontior about May 12, ana will bo received with great ceromony. Ho will remain in Russia till the middle of June, and thon pro- ceed to Berlin, He will travel thence, via Belgium and Holland, to Bngland, where ho will remain some time. He will be in Paris part of August and September, and is not expected in Vienna before the end of Septem- ber or the beginning of October, Special political importance is to bo attached to the shah's journoy. Upon tho impressions he recoives this time will depend tho future volicy of Persia, which is a far more im- portant factor in eastern affais than is gonorally supposed. The shah is not de- ceived as easily as is tho sultan of Turkey. He is more thoughtful, and has a botter bal- anced mind. The recovery of King William ITI, of Holland, from what was believed to bea fatal iliness has sadly disarranged the plans of those who had expected to benefit by his death. The disappointment falls most heavily upon Bismarck, who foresaw in the expected event an opportumty of accom- plishing the transfer of Holland into the German Confederation on the same footing as Bavaria, The possession of the grand duchy of Luxemburg would at least have They were capturad and Jailed but the booty was not recovered., “What a fall there was, my countrymen !

Jolief d Rochelle, 1ll, and Des Moines Cedar Falls and Sloux City, Ia., were giv a bonus as high as $12,000 a year in some cases to remain idle, and oatmeal went up from 3,75 per barrel to §.50, There were fifty-one mills in the United States at the time, but the number has increased to fifty- tive, and the tax on the operating mills had become so burdenscme that they refused longer to pay the former bonus, but offered a smaller consideration. This was refused by the owners of the idle mills at Des Moines and Cedar Falls, and the latter will begin operations independent of the trust. 5,006 vol- 10 PURIFY AND BEAUTIFY THE SKIN |4 any virtue in It, it the thing had fal exhausted, T made up Cuticuna Resrpies, daughtor is cured, sound fo health, and well, (o the surpr hundreds.
