NEW YORK state has tried the ballot reform and pronounces it a success.

THE senate agricultural committee of which Senator Paddock is chairman, have decided to report the Conger lard bill to the senate with afavorable recom- mendation, Tt is to be hoped that this bill will slide through the senate with less friction than it encountered in the house. As Uncle Joe Cannon will not have a say regarding it, it doubtless will, THE Norfolk & Western railway com- pany has inaugurated a new systom, and one that will be highly popular, at least among railroad men, It proposes to re- tireon full pay four of its conductors who are too old to continue their runs, and retire others from time to time. This is an improvement over the old method of having spotters and uncer- maniously bouncing them without pay and without notice. THE annual report of the Cotton ex- change of New Orleans shows that within the past ten years the num- ber of cotton manufactories in the south has increased from ninety-eight to two hundred and seventy. The crop of cot- ton this year is larger than ever before, while the reports from the tobacco dis: tricts are most encouraging, there being a better crop of tobacco than has been gathered for many years. Altogether the situation in the south is very flatter- ing, The farmers who have gone in debt in past years see their way out this year, THE OMAHA DAILY BEL: SATURDA NIFORM ARD FOR GRAIN There is on the ealendar of the house of representatives a bill to provide for establishing uniform standard for wheat, corn, onts, barley and other grains, which is of particular interest to the grain producers of the country, The measury 7es and vequires the sec- retary of agriculture to establish a stand- ard for classifying and geading grains, and according to such standard to dotermine and fix such s cation and grading of wheat, rye, onts and other grains ns the of trade wareant and permit, and which, in his judgment, will best sub- serve the interost of the public in the conduct of int and foreign trade and commerce in - grain. The stardard of elassification and grades so established is to be made of permanent record fn the cultural department, and after pub- notice thereof the same shall be known as the United States stundard and shail be held to be the standard in all interstate and foreign trade and com- merc ain in cases where no other standard or grade is agreod upon. In reporting this bill the committee on iculture submitted that there is ur- 1 for a standard ¢ the classification and gr 1, uni- form in its autho clags] corn, usnges govorni ling of g splication to the kinds of grain produced in the states, The mixing of grain of dife grades by the manipulators of the gr markets, said the committee, thus in- flicting great injustice upon the producers of good grain and placing upon the mar- ket adulterated and unwholesome food, is one of the evils for which the bill pro- vides u remedy, In an argument sub- mitted to the committee by Hon, Henry L. Morey of Ohio, in favor of logislation of this kind, he suid that it would tend to elevate the standard of the products of the soil by encouraging the raising of better wheat, corn and oats, and will protect those products from being adulterated and degraded before they ach the for consumption. He urged every farmer in the lund should be able to know from public notice the elassitication and grade of the crop which he has raised, ling to the highest standard in the land, that established by the agricultural dep ment. Others no less prominently iden- tified with the agricultural interest take the same view This matte: to commend farmers’ all sever nt aceo is one which would seem itself to the attention of ally as of very great importance to grain producers, and an exprossion of their views would undoubtediy be most kindly received by the house agricultural comittoe, — COMPETENT REGISTRARS, The appointment of competent, ex getic registrars is one of the most im- portant duties devolving on the mayor and city council. Under the pending ordinance doubling the number of poll- ing places in the city, s corvesponding inerease in the number of registrars will be made. It s of the greatest importance therefore that care and dis- crimination be e sed in the selection of these officers, he duties of the position are not of very exacting nature, and .with the re- duced number of voters to each poll the work of the registrars will be greatly stwipined. But the exacting provisi of the registration law renders impe tive the appointment of men familiar with the law. They should be good penmen, so that the election boards will find no difficulty in deciphering the names, and they should possess sufficient knowledge of the voters of the ward to check fraudulent registeation. Heretofore these positions have been parceled out to political favorites re- gardless of their qualifications. In many wards incompetency was stamped on every page of the poll books, As a con- sequence judges and clerks of election were unable to perform their work expe- ditiously and voters were subjected to annoying delays. The overshadowing importance of the coming election should impress on the mayor and council the necessity of securing the services of the most competent men to carry out the va- rious provisions of the law. — THE TARIFF BILL IN THE HOUSE. The house committeo on ways and menns yesterday discussed informally the senate amendments to the tariff bill, and will today renew consideration of them, The senate has asked for a con- ference, but it is thought probable that before acceding to this the changes in the bill made by the senate will be yery carefully considered by the ways and means committee, the object of which would be to determine in advance of a conforence what amend- ments should be accepted and what non-concurred in, This suggests that the struggle over the tarifl mag be further considerably pro- longed. As now indieated, the chief matter of controversy between the two houses will be the sugar schedule, Tt is sald, and the statement is probably well founded, that Speaker Reed is opposed to the higher duties on sugar provided for by the semate amendment, and he is strongly supported in this position., If he is disposed to make an obstinate ve- sistance he will name a majority of the conference committee on the part of the house who are in a ment with his views and who will stand out firmly agqinst the senato provision. It is weil known that Mr. Reed is not a convert to the reciprocity poliey champloned by Secrotary Blaine, and although his hostility has not boen outspoken it may prove none the less effective when the opportunity forhim to exert his influence arvives, His course will doubtless be dictated by what he may know of the extent of the popularity of the proposed policy, wholly regardless of any rela- tions which the secretary of state bears toit. But whatever heshall choose to do will undoubtedly go far in deter- mining the course of the house, or rather of the majority party in that body. What the democrats may do cannot be safely predicted. Their course in the sonate has been somewhat singular, if not altogether inexplicable, and their conduct in the house in relation to this matter may be quite as strange, As sugar isreally the **bone of conten- tion” in the tariff, it may be interesting to state the existing situation and what is proposed. The present du under No. 8 Dutch standard s two cents per pound, over that standard and not above No. 16, two and three-quarter cents per pound, above No. 16 and not above No. 20, three cents per pound, and above the latter standard three and onc-hall cents per pound. The house bill proposed that sug: under No. 16 should be imported fr and that all above that standard sh. pay aduty of four-enths of a cent y pound. The senate amendment imposes aduty on sugars batween No, 13 and No. 16 of three-tenths of one cent per pound, und above No. 16 of six-tenths of one cent per pound. The house bill is in the interest of consumers, since the grades between No. 13 and No. 16, which it pro- poses to admit free, are available for do- But the senate amendment provides for a material reduction from present duties, the effect of which should be to considerably chenpen the price of sugar to consum The nction of the senate in this matter is defensible only on the ground that it is nec to the projected plan of reciprocity, which has been aptly characterized as a poticy of *covreive por on sugar mestic use, s unsiol FREDERICK DoUGLASS, addressing a horing of memboers of his race near Baltimore n fow days ago, said that al- though men ave talking about the race problem, there is no such problem. The coloved race, he said, is vising in pro- w5, and all wo say is, let us alone and us faiv play.”” Tt is the white poli- ns and not intelligent colored men who are agitating the rvace problem, be- ause the latte learning that the best way to work out their destiny is not through politics, but by means of sch and churehos that will elevate the race intellectually and morally.

CONVENTIONS propose, but the voters dispose. This fact should be hammered into the skullsof the army of anxious legislative aspirants in this vicinit, Both parties are aflicted with a suvplus of schemers who are pushing themselve to the front and planning to captur nomination regardless of the means em- ployed. It behooves the rank and file to be up and doing.

Tue ol barons of Colorado protest against the decision of the interstate commerce commission ordering railronds to cavry petroleum barrels free as an off- sot to tank cars.

Inno case can he be satisfied with the results of his mission. His efforts to bring wbout u better understanding bo- tween Gormany and Russis have led, not to any decrease, but to an intrease by the Mus- governinent of 30 per cent duty on all Gevman imports, Moreover, since his depart- lie czar has ziven orders for the vrgent transformation of the northern seaport of Libau intoa fivs-class fortross, and for the immediate ineroase of the Russian flect in the Baltic to such an extent that the ships of which it is composed will outnumber by just one-half the craisers of Germany. Under the civcumstauces, it is possible that the “au re- VOir" with which the czar bade farewell to his guest at the conclusion of the visit may be subject to a two-fold interpretation. Vai ous incidents of his visit must have deeply mortified Emperor William, His attempts to sever, or at any rateto modify, the so-called tacit'” alliance which exists between Russia and France were mot by the c present tion to President Carnot of the Order of St. Andrew set in diamonds—a distinction hitherto accorded only to sovercigns of the fivst rank. And in order to mark still further his resentment at William's inter- ferenco in the matter, Alexander made a point of publicly ihviting the k'rench General Boisdeffre to attend the grand manoeuvres on the Austvian frontier, from which all other foreign officers, and even the military uttaches of the forkign missions at St. Pot- ersburg are to ‘bejstrictly excluded.

The tovies are charg- ing it to obstruction, Theli cha ing it to the muddling of ministers in their parlismentary measures. They add that the fourth year of Lord Salisbury’s sccond ad- ministration has seen his majorities in the houso steadily sinking, his legislation party defeated and partly withdrawa, and his posi- tionon the platform changed, on the advice of his best friends, from one of aggression and boasting to one of explinatory apolo- getics. Tndeed, the iberals clim that it is of itself a great gain to have putagovern- ment with so large a majority behind it thus on the dofensive. On the other hand, the tovies declara that, for the first time, obstrac- tion has bzen pra d on principle, with the declared determination to prevent a govern- ment sustained by a majority from logislating in accordance with the will of that majority, and for the first time, also, the party 1 opposition has closely identified itself with tho pursuit of an anavchial end. It is, meanwhile, the politico-economic situa- tion of the united kingdom which isat pros- entthe point of extraordinary interest, and which is viewed by so marked an aspect of alarm on the part of capitalists and of the em- ployers of labor s to create the impression that they have virtually lost their heads on account of an apprehension that the prospect is the most serious ever before presented to them. In view of the latest develonnents of thelabor question the leading journal of the country and of its classes as distinzuished from its masses is constrained tosay that “‘the central question is not at all how much men are to have for their labor, but whether they ave to have the right to prevent other men from taking what they refuse This journal adds: **Nobody need supply hisown lubor on any terms which do not displease him, but the issue is whethoraman who chooses to withhold his own labor is to be al- lowed to broak the head of another anxiously secking the wages he rejocts,’ B B Therols a grave condition of affairsin Ar- menia.

Norhas their condition under Tarkish rulo ever recaived the atténtion to which it is en- titled from the powprs of Kurope; and there is, therefore, littls wonder that a peaceful, Christian people should at last sesk to throw off the yoke which they have borne so long. In the year 1830 a griut of civil and religons liberty was made to them, but in practice it was only a mockery, Several other charters, which they afterward secured, met the same fate; and the treatyof San Stofano, which provided for a Russikn occupation of Armenia uantil reforms corresponding to those promised to other Christian Yies should be carried out by the Turkish government, upset by the Berliu conference of 1573, which placed the reforms to be effected in Asiatic Turkey under the general supervision of the pow In 1579 Lord Salisbury demanded for Armenia police protection against the Kurds, a reform of taxaticn, the establish- ment of courts in which Christians could get a fair trial, and the appoiutment of paid governors forthe provinees. Allof these reforms the porte promised; but they have never been carvied out. “Moussa Boy and his Kurdish cut-throats were permitted to pil- lage and massacre at will, and, although the was recently compelled to bring Moussa Bey to trial, the proceeding was & farce, and the murderous brigand was per- mitted t0 make his escape. Armenia is a Christian couttry discoutented under Turkish rule, Iying betwoen and the Turkish empire. Itis direct posed to Russian activity, and already a por- tion of its territory has been appropriated by the czar. When England guaranteed the sultan his Asiatic dominions, the former | country, according to the Cyprus convention, was tosee that Armenia received justice, But nothing looking to this end has been uaccomplished, and a Russian party has sprung up among the Armenians which the car will not be slowto encourage. The situntion is in many respects similar to that which prevailed before the Russo-Turkish war, and it would need but little provocation to precipitate a very serious conflict. A French expedition against the capital of Dahomey 1s arranged to setout within ashort time. It isnot the intention of France to annex Dahomey, but only to place it under lier protectorate for the benefit of all nations, exactly as Whydah has been freely oponed 10 the commeree of the wholo world, The | history of the lust few years sufficiently shows why France has found it ne v to organize such an expedition. She had vainly attempted to open negotiations with the king of Datomey, Her representative vernor | o1, who went for that purpose to the capi- Abomey, was detained there as a prisoner | for more than one month, and had to witness | the awful hecatomb of hundreds of human | beings. beheaded at tne command of the king on the celebration of one of their festivals, Mr. Bayol was released finally and arrived at the coast, only to hear that the troops of Bazadin tiad approached Porto Novoand been shelled by the French gunboats stationed off the danggerous bar of Kotonon. At the same time several employes of the European fac- tories at Whydah had been treacherously captured and sent to Abon where they underwent the worst treatment. They man- aged to raturn to the court; but the troops of Dahomey followed them, and all the Buro- pean establishments along the Atlantic shore in those regions were threatened with de- struction. France hasat last determined to cut short the invading cavecr of the ferocious king of Dalomey, and to send an expedition against his capital, Abomey, where the en. trance of her soldiers cannot fail of being greeted by Europeans and Americans anxious to see Dahomey ovened, like other African countries, to legitimate trade and civilization, Austrian liberals may well look with seri- ngs on the future, as they reflect ime cannot be far distant when the conservative hand, which for more than forty years bas guided Austrian affairs, will be no longer at the helm. Francis Joseph, who has passed his sixtieth year, has endearcd him- self 0 his subjects by his unaffected sim- plicity, his capacity for hard work, his digni- fied bearing in misfortune; and the lats Crown Prince Ruaolph, in spite of his vices, shaved in his populavity. Butlittle is known of the probable heir to the thront, the Arch- duke Franz Ferdinand, the son of the em- peror's brother, Karl Luduwig, who, it is un- derstood, will not_avail himself of the right of succession. The names of Franz and Ferdinand have an ominous sound in liberal cars, and their beaver is popularly supposed to have inherited the bigotry of thelate_duke of Modena, together with his millions. * The powers of Europe have guaranteed the neutrality of Belgium, but they cannot guar- tee the government of that country against the growing demands of the people for politi- cal recognition. That was a very significant demonstration when 70,000 workingmen as- sembled recently in a public park of Brussels and with uplifted hands swore that they would fight without rest and without abati- ment until, with the aid of universal suffrage, they should have won a real Fatherland, The two trade marks of the Belgian system of government are unlimited power of the money bag and unvestricted exclusion of in- telligence from the exercise of all political FIENIS; ANl e people are evldently detor mined that this condition of things shall not continue.
