TARIFF DIFFICULTIES. The ways and means committos is indarstond to have the tarif bill com- pleted with the axesption of a fow | sonsdules, hut these happon he the most important and the committos 18 having moch trouble nrranging them. A bill was first promised in Fob- ranry and agnin enrly in March, whils the prospeat now is that it will not be rondy for prosentation before April, and n later postponement is not fm- probable. In the avent that no unusual rostriction is put upon ite discussion a mensurs may not be pnssed in tima to take effact at the beginning of the govarnment's next fisoal yonr, July 1,3 it bo desirablo that it should 0 into offect at that time, One of the diffieultios with which the committee hns beon battling relates to the duty 'on stoel rails, 1t was pro- posed to roduce this to ten dollars a ton, and assoon na the fact bocame known to the manufacturera thoy re- pnirad to Washington in foree to con- that if this wers noss would be damonstrable 10 in vineo the committon done the steel rail b destroged. 1t is ensily thut n duty of ten dollars would afford amplo protection to this dustry, particulurly in the prosent con= ditions of the market, but it wouid somewhat roduce the excessive profits of the manufacturers, unloss thoy could rost tho diffaronce from labor, which by implieation they throntened would bo done. The decision of the commitive on the stesl-rnil schednle hns not vet bean reached, but the duty will unques- tionably ba reduced to the extent of four or fve dollars n ton. ‘I'ie wool schiedulo has hoon another soures of difficulty, and ia still being digeussed as to some of the minor do- tails, The majority of the committoo is diwsposed to accedo to the domands of the Ohio wool interest for high duties and severe restrictions on the importation” of earpet ns woll ns olothing woots, The Now England manufacturers are making strong pro- tosts agninst the proposed rostrictions on importations particularly, bub it is not expoctod thit their remonstrances will have any influenco in the house. ) may, however, recelve more favorable consideration from tho sonnte when the bill goes to that bod, The recent expressions of Senators Allison and Aldrich rognrding tarlff revision warrant the expectation that their in- Nuenes will ho oxorted at the propoer time for o material modification of cor- tain dutios which it now apponrs prob- able will be maintained by the house A great pressuro has been brought to Bear on the New England sonators and presentatives by tho iron and woolen manufacturers of that section in bohalf of reduced duties and free raw mater inle, nnd Senntor Aldrich of Rhode Island is reported to have announced his purpose to espouse their cause, Sen- otor Allison is keeping silent, since the announcement of & modifieation of his LT views has delugod him with letters inquiring as to his position, but it is not doubte A-thul he will be found whon the opportune oconsion arvives domanding matorind tarif reductions on many of the necessarios. ‘I'he most tronhlesome question hefore the ways and menns committon is that of the sugar dutivs, Thoe vapublicans of the committee nre widely soparated on this question, half of them, as woll ns onn e fvoring free anfrar, and the othor halfl uvrging a res duction of the duty of only fifty per cont. A compromise of views would thevefors scom to bo renson- ably nssurod. One important coneession roported to have hoen agreed on by the majority of the committes is to exempt from duty ma- torinls necossary for the construction of iron and stecl steamers for the foreipn teado. This is necessary if any encour- agement 18 to be given American ship bulders to compete with those of Bng- land, and if it should be followed by the noval of the restrictions embodied in the navigation laws which hamper the stonmship ownor o long stop wonld b taken toward stimulating onterprise for the restoration of our mevchant marine.

The Iatest announcoment is that of the conference has agroed to recommend a general policy of submdies for promoting steamship connection hotween Amoriean coun- trios, The propossl of n great continental railrond is not now. Such n project whs suggestod severnl years ago, and more recontly thore was talk of organ- izing a gront corporation to undertake the enterprise. The approval of the iden by the conference gives it charie- tor and the profmise of ultimate renliza- tlon. It is unquestionahly n magnificent scheme, is hold to be entirely fonsible, and hoth politically and econ- omically its accomplishmonts would un- questionably do more to cemont the countries of the Americas than ang thing olse conceivablo, There is no hond so strong ns that mado of mutual matorinl interests, and a great railrond of contine ntal proportions uniting countries each of which hold a ma- torinl interost in it, would draw those countries sther and link them in commercial union ns no other agency could, The practicability of this vagt project being conceded. it would soem an entirely safo prediction thint the prosent generation may see it ontorod on and n succoeding genoration itness its consummation. The full scope »f tho proposal for n gonoral system of steamship subsidies has not been made publie, and when it 19 1t may appenr loss objectionablo than auch sechemoes genorally arve. This will dopend upon how far it goes in encour- agemont of the policy urgod by the ad- voeates of subsidy in this country. In nny event, howevor, it islikely to have an tmportant influence upon the con- sidoration of this subject in congross, and heneo 1la interest and significance. It is evidont that the deliberations of the conference have been ot a thor- oughly practical nature, nnd it is cor- tain that these are not to without “omo very important result n committes tog he MURDEROUS GRADE-CROSSINGS Not nlone Chicago, but other citios of the west, have a,. intorest in the strog- glo now going ou belween the people of that city and the railronds to force the lntter to abolish geado crossings. The disnsters which are hecoming moro and more frequent with the multiplication of vailroads and the increaso of populas tion thronghont the United States have alvondy veached an alavming ratic alone on the streets of densely vopu- lated cities, but on the cross-roads of the country, the ruthloss engine strikos down its vietims daily, It is true that somo states, notably Massachusetts and Connecticut, nnd some cities, of the east, have stringent laws compoelling rail- vonds to provide saitablo protection for the proservation of human tife at tho intorsection of railways and highways, The question has oxeited newspapor dic- cussion without timit, and futile legis- Iative action in almost ever orner of the union. : The people of Chicago have hecome tived of waiting for state regulation of the running of trains. They have at last taken the solution of the grade crossing into their own hands and pro- pose to fight it out to the hitter end. They ave not at all content to put up longor with the olumsy gates and over- worked watehmen at stroet nor ave they satisfied with a ton-mile- an-hour rate of speed through that eity. Thoy insist on having rapid transit, not at tho expense of the eity for safoguards, or at the ifice of life, but at the cost of the railroads by elevating the tracks. The request s reasonable and one which the railronds themselves would be anxious to meet w it not for the great cost entailed, There can be little question that at whatever outlay to the railroads safoty can be purchased at orossings, it would be economy, in the end to provide the very best protection to human life, orossings, Tue infamous Credit Mobilier com- pany and the part it took in buitding the Union Pacific twenty-five years ago is still fresh in memory. To those, however, unacquainted with its history 1t is well to say that at the time of its netivity the Credit Mobilier furnished a plausible device by which certain offi- cials, then at the head of the Union Pacifie, incorporated themselves fnto a construction company. The contracts for building the railroad were con- veniontly let by Union Pacific officials to themselves, di- rectors of the Credit Mobilier, at enor- mous profits to the latter and at corre- sponding expense to the stockholders and bondholders outside ot the ring. In other words, the Credit Mobilier of Amerioa was tho parent “‘construetion ompany ™ of similar notorious concerns and held in its mind’s eye the gerws of the trust. The original hs long since, however, outlived its use- fulness. But it has evidently not yet given up the ghost from the fact what its treasurer has just applied for formal dissolution in the convts of Pennsyl- om which state it reccived its masquerading as modern — oi report of the department agriculture accurately reflocts the prossed condition of farm products. The propoction of merchantable corn of the ovop of 1889 was ndarly eighty-six per cent, outof a total of two billion bushels. Notwithstanding the enormous surplus . “ THURSDA rafsad, the amountof corn marketed upto the flrsh of the month was less than for thie sosresponding period of the previoul fear and of 18867, The amount now-inthe hands of the growers ie ostimated ‘At nine hundred and soventy milllon bushels, or forty-six por cent of shartotal erop. The reason for this ~condition of aflairs 1 not faf 1o seek.

The remedy lies with the peo- ple and they will exercise vigorously in monsures of selt-preservation. —— ‘The bonrd of public works has been instructed to advertise for bids for pav- ing & numbor of stroots.

And it need not be supposed that General Leeso will be lost in the shuffle.

Yong, Neb.,, March 10.-~To the £ditor of Tue Bee: 1 wish to make a few observa- tions in regard to the questions which have n engaging the aitention of the people of state recently. During the last session of the legislature there was a resolution introduced into the senate, which, sought to give expression to the prevailing belief that railroad rates wero 100 high and exorbitant. And after quoting from the republican platform last adopted to snow that the party was pledged to such a reduction of the local rates as would be nec- essary to place us in as favorable position in that respect as that enjoyed by neigiboring states, 1t demanded of the state board of transportation that the authority with which the legislature had clothed it, should be ex- ercised. ‘That all seemed reasonable enough and the chairman on the committes of “rail- ronds was nstructed by a unanimous vote to recommend its adoption. But after the members of the board had been heard from, the committee was divided, a majority of its members becomivg hostile, and the resolution was defeated by the argument that 1t was unfair to the board and implied a want of confidence in ofticers respecting duties with which as yet they hud not had tme to acquaint themselves. ‘lhis was charitable and would have been just, but for the fuct that the interest of tlie producers had 80 often been considered of secondary importanco by some of the members of the bourd where they had conflicted starply with those of the corporations. It is to be vresumed that the different membera of the board have become some- what familiar with the duties pertaming to their ronpective positions by this time, and that they will be fair with these producers, who aro republicans, and not cxpect i greater degree of support in the coming camn paign than that which will be commensurate with the measure of fidelity with which those duties havo been performed. In the face of the most glaring inconsist~ encies and injustice as disclosed by a com~ varison of the local rates in force in tins state with those of siates adjoinine, and in defiance of a demand which is almost uni versal, a majority of the poard have refused to tuke effective action. Such dogged per- sistence, 1f exercised in bohalf of the peoplo of Nebraska, would surely meet with a re. sponsive gratitude which would in part at least be & compensation for duties faithfully performed, In short, and to sveak plainly, T believe that those representing the hard pressed in- dustrial interests of this state should rally a8 one man aud insist on a reorganization of the state board of transportation by the elec- tion of men who have character and withal a decent respect for public opm- ion, based on reasonable grounds, to succeed such officers as havo since become members of the board shown a want of respect for such opinion. Let it be known that the republicans demand of the central committee an early convention, wheroin honest voters of the party shall have the right through their represontatives to make an untrammeled choiwce of their of- ficers. Let it be known that the convention must not fall under the sway of those who rely on purchased proxies instead of the sup- port of their fellow citizens aud principals of justice. Then lot it bo known further that if those simple conditions are violated and the rank aud filo of the pariy botrayed and scorned, that tho great wrong will be re rented at the polls, I will say in this conneciion that [am not a candidate for secretary of state, as has Leen stated in the public press. lieve those who know me will underst that I am not when | make this statemeat. In looking over this state and considering the questions of freight reduction and purer politics, there are two men who by reason of circumstances surrounding them huve become somewhat noted. I speak of William Lecse and Judge — Leese, Tho one has shown a loyalty to duty which is not dimmed by the refiection that his efforts have been futile, and I think it would be a good plan to elect him governor this fall and convince the railroads that the peoble had concluaed to enier politics Then it they shoula conclude to vindicate an up- right judge and rebuke the wrong and out rage by which # convention was debauchod, by electing M.

T. Gillicuddy, formerly the Red Cloud Indisn agent, said “We have succoeded ia securing the most satisfactory rates from tne Elkhorn. These rates are such as will permit us to ship a vast quantity of our material in here, such 08 pressed brick, marble, lime, ete., that will pay. We were also grauted such rates on ores as will enabls us to ship ores here for smelting which we have not been in a position to do heretofore. We have also succeeded, am delighted to say, in interesting soma of your local capitalists in some of our enterprises up there. “The great difficulty in all now countries, a8 you are probably aware, is to get capital at a low rate, and hence we must depead in a largs measure on outside capital for opeu- iog up and developing otr resources. “Our raitrond business nere was all ac- complishied through Mr, Burt, superintend- eat of the Elkhorn, the only road we have at present in there.
