He said in his letter that the management of the company did not “deem it consistent with its con- tinuance and prosperity in business, and with the discharge of the duties it owes to the people, to submit the propriety of its action inthe discharge of any of its ployes toarbitration.* In asubsequent interview with o newspaper represent- ative, Mr. Webb id: *“If neces- sary T will stop every particle of freight e, close up every yard, and keep e closed until [ have obtained a suffi- cient number of new firemen to resume the frefght teafie.

The evidence is that the popular sentiment of the country did not approve the course of the government in plung- ing into war, and consequently the government in its dire exigency found only such support of its militury opera- tions as it was able to compel. Men did not rally to the ranksof the army with patriotic ardor as did the Salvadorians, and those who by deception or force were dragged into service necessarily made very ineflicient soldiers. Mur- shalled against the carnest and enthusi- astic forces of Salvador fighting for principles vital to the preservation of their country, the Guatemalans were easy victims, But had the people ap- proved the war policy it is evident that the government was wholly unprepared. The treasury was empty and the efforts of the government to secure a loan after hostilities commenced were una- vailing. The latest dispatches represent the situation as deplorable. It would seem that President Barvillas must ex- rience a g deal of difficulty in aintaining I s0 disastrousa failuve, demonstrating, as it does, his utter lack of capacity, Regarding the prospects for Contral Anmerican union they arve not improved by the suceess of Sulvador. It is said that that state, Costa/Rica and Nicars may unite on a basis set forth the congress of the of the fiv republics, but this is probably a mistake so far us Costa Rica is concerned, the congress of that coun- try having decided to defer until Sep- tember of next year the final considera- tion of the pact that was signed at San Salvador last year. But in any event these three states will not enter a union with Guatem: wnd Honduras, and all iden of o united Central Ame as well be dismissed for the in represeatatives SHALL TIiF A policy of vetulintion on the part of the States toward France the United preople of both conniries would probably soon learn to rogt bocome adopts o more 56 towards this sho has pursued for sevoral The publication of the diplo- correspondence relative to the prohibitory decree of France aguinst the importation of American pork has raiewed the fecling in congress that this government will be justified in adopting - retaliatory measures if the French government ad- heves to its policy, and it is said that a Large number of sonators vegavd the op- portunity olfeved by the peading taviff bill as un excelient one for giving pracs tical effect to the feeling of resenument which the commercial Hostility dis- pluyed by Feance against a staple pro- duet of the United States has aroused in « wuun-wml\ this country. Just what shape this feel- ing will assume is largely a matter of conjecture, though it is generally under- stood that Prench wines and silks arve likely to be subjected to heavier duties thaw are already imposed, and other articles of French production will doubtless suffer in like manner. The restoration by the semate committee on finunce of the duty on works of art, shold upon powoer after,| s ch had been placed by the house on thefree list, is explained to have been duc to the impression that the French | government had, in return, shownno | disposition to suspend its unjust diserimi- | nation st American pork. Of course this would not be an adequate defense of retaining the duty on works of art, beeause France would not be the only European country affected, though she would perhaps profit more than any other froma remissionof the duty, and for the further reason that a duty on works of art is inimical to tho educational welfare of our own people, but the proposal to retain this duty in- dicates how strong the feeling is that under existing circumstances this coun< try should make no concessions which might benefit France, even though in refusing them we should ourselves have to make some sacrifice, It is possiblo to as a narrow view of national duly and policy, but it is a very natural one, especially soin view of the unquestionable fact, as pointed out by the acting seevetary of state, that the French government now practieally placesits exclusion of Amel products upon cconomic inste tary grounds. As this policy 3 sion, says the uwlln;: secretary in his letter accompanying the correspondence sent to congress, as a measure for the protection of the domestie products of France, is applied only to the United States, the department hasnot failed to protest against the diserimination as un- just. Minister Reid, in his letter to the French minister of foreign affe on this subject, suggests that feeling in this country is caused not merely by the in- jury to an American indust canse France persistently discriminates against her historie friend and in favor of Germang, Italy and England. The American minister easily disposes of the g criticise this pretext that the pork of this mnnh'y is unwholesome hy point- ll\lv to the fact that no is caused by eating or in the t s large mported. The French "u\vrmn«'nt has no de- fense of its policy in this matter except upon economic grounds, and it cannot vost upon these grounds and continue o discriminate against this country in favor of European countries, As the case now stands it looks as if that gov- ernment must choose between abandon- ing its position in this matter and ac- conting the eonsequences of a vetaliatory policy that would matevially eripple the commerce of France the United States, countries of Furope with OMAHA, Nebraska and the west feel a pardonable pride in the successful ad- ministration of the affairs of the general land office by Judge Groff. His manage- ment s without a precedent in the his- tory of the office. On assuming the du- ties of the position less than a year ago, he found the office crowded with nearly three hundred thousand cases awaiting imination and decision. Familiar with thxldlull’IhM‘.lhfln of land laws in the west and possessing a trained judi- cial mind, Judge Groff soon brought order out of chaos, established system and reduced the affairs of the office to a business basis. Inlessthan a year he has diminished the legacy of former admin- istrations one-half, besides keeping up with new business since his installation. The energy displayed in disposing of long pending cases has been a great benelit to settlers on public land, But of greater importance to them is the fact that Judge Groff has annihilated the once profitable industry of claim jump- ing. At the very outset he put his foot down on this class of land sharks and proclaimed the policy of the oflice to be, *‘justice to honest set- lers,” giving them the benefit of the doubt as against claim juwnpers. This policy he has maintained vigorously, restoring confidence among the home buildersof the west, and insuring un- disturbed possession of theiv homesteads to thos® gentlers honestly striving to comply with the law. STHERE is nothing to avbitrate,” says Viece President Webb in rveply to Pow- derly’s lettor urging arbitration as a menns of settling the New York Central There is a familinr sound in The corporations have wrung the anges on it for yenrs. It is intended for the cars of that cluss of petty poten- tates who believe that workingmen have no rights which combined eapital is Bound to vespeg. But Vieo President Webb's actions flatly contradict his as- sertion, "The fuct that he refused a hear- ing to the representatives of his em- ployes at thé outset and spurned thele complaints clonrly proves that he invited the - contest, Having provoked the strike, he declines to adopt an eflective means of bringing it to anend. Tf the company is right, why does it fear to submit to the decision of a disinterested board? The refusal must be accepted by the public as evidence of the justice of the employes’ cause, and on the managers of the voad must vest the odium of inconveniencing the publie, delaying commeree, and the shedding of innoeent blood, Way should the heart of the con- tractor be sad? The mere fact that the couneil combine is enjoying a well earned recreation at the expense of the corporations should not shake the confi- dence of the home guard, What if Ihvlc be a trifling delay in distributing the Money, the gang will get it in good time.

Now who has e of them! How do the organize and who takes charge of the voto. When rendered ! me up in the teq ! nor- d by answering it Bk will confer a favor upon ONE oF THEM. The constitution provides that h state shall appoint, in such manneras the legisla- tures thereof iy direct, a number of elec- tors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state may be entitled in congress. While congress may deternine the time of choosing the electors and they duy on which they shall give their votes, the presidential electors are state ofi- cerg receiving compensation by the state and are controlled by it. The power of the legislu- ture to direct the mannerof selecting electors has been the cause of considerable trouble. During the first Lalf century of the republic those bodies usuully chose the electors them- selves but about 1542 their selection was gen- erally given to the people. Therevised statutes of Nebraska provide for the election of presidential electors from the state at large, for their meeting at the capitol, and for théir compensation at the rate of five dollavs aday. They assemble at the required time at Lincoln, organize among themselves, and cast separate votes for pres- ident andvice president. The results are sent to Washington under seal and in dupli- cate, one copy of which' is carvied in person by one of the electors. Until 1887 congress refused to provide for proof of the state’s ac- tion, alack of which had caused the contest in 1876, Now provision is made by the elee- toral count act of 1887 for the state’scertifi- cation of its votes; and the certificate which comes in legal form is not to be rejected but by a vote of both houses, - - Pretty Warriors for La Belle France.
