THE NEW MANAGER. Thoe recasting of the Union Pacifio management verifies the prediction made when it became definitely known that the Gould interest wus again in the ascendancy. Mr. S, H. H. Clark, the formor gencral manager of tho road, has bean reappointed by President Sidaey Dillon, and W, H. Holeomb becomes his chief assistant and practical manager of the system. The return of Mr, Clark to the Union Pacifle is a significant event. An Omaha man, zealous in her interests, sharing her prosperity and ever ready to encour- age the industrial and commercial growth of the city, it cannot be doubted that his recall to the management of the road will materially strengthen the rail- road interests of Omaha. But Omaha does not seek undue favors from the company. This city demands the fulfill- ment of each and every obligation en- tored into by the company, and substan- tinl returns for thoe lavish generosity of the city and county in the early days of the road's struggles aswell as in the later days of its matured strength. The veorganization of the managoment of the road, of which Mr. Clark’s ap- pointment is the first step, indicates the early abolition of the grand divisions or- ganized by Adamsand the concentra- tion of authority at one general headquarters. The present method of divided power s not only injurious to the business interests of the road but one of the most fruitful sources of éxtravagant expense. Its chief result has been the multiplication of high-sal- aried officials and the creation of a sys- tom of annoying red tapeism worthy of a circumlocution office. Under that sys- tem the chiefs of departments at the headquarters were such in name only. They were hedged by rules and were obliged to consult with distant officials before entering into contracts on traflic originating inor beyondthe latter’s juris- diction. Tha result was not only ha assing to officials but a positive damage to the business of the road. Concentrated authority is essential to successful lroad management, Divided authority means disorgani tion. Under the new order, the active managers of the road will havoan op- portunity of thoroughly demonstrating their ability as practical railroad men. Mr. Clar| advent means a great deal more. Having risen from the ranks, he knows and appreciates faithful service, and can be depended on to reward such service with promotion. It the new management attends strictly to the business interests of the company, dealing justly with the indus- trial interests tributary to the road, and resolutely keops out of politics, the people of the west will haveno reason to complain, ———— IT WON'T WURK. There are many ways of booming a newspaper. The Omaha World-Herald springs anewscheme every day intended by its editor to curry favor with the peo- ple. Since the November clection he has written to the various candidates of the independent. party asking for an en- dorsement of his paper for the obvious purpose of publishing theso endorse- ments to work upon the credulity of the farmer. Theeditor also has written to publishers of the country press and asked them to print endorsements of the course the World-Herald had pursaed in the late campaign, and for the work it had done for tho independent party. Sines thoe election he has been printing these mude-to-order puffs by the coun- try press. This versatile young editor has also sent letters all over the state to inde- pendent committeermen and officers of thealliance asking them tosend hima short letter of ‘‘endorsement and en- couragement” for his paper’s friendly attitude toward the Alliance. It is quite likely that an early issue of the World-Herald will contain a few of these stilted endorsements and solicited com- pliments, Now Jay Burrows has discovered the plot of this double-ender editor, whom he accuses of poaching on his preserves. He thinks that if any editor is to be ‘‘endorsed and encouraged” it is Jay Burrows of Lincoln, and this is the way Mr. Burrows touches up Mr. Hitcheock in The Farmers® Alliance of recent date: This subject is brought to our attention by theuse the World-Herald is making of a let- ter writton to it by Mr. McKeighan. The letter was in nosenso an endorsement of the W.-H., nor an intiaation of any desire fora fusion of the inaependents and democrats. But the IV.-H. has printed and is sending the letter all over the state to independent com- mitteemen and officers, asking themto send it ashort letter of “endorsement and encour- agoment” for its friendly attitude toward the Allianee. Now this might be considerea only o shrewd stroke of business were it not for the advocacy of a *political mar- riage'’ between the independents and demo- crats, and the evideat intention to use these letters of “endorsementand encouragement’’ as means to promote that end. The W.-H. advoosted nothing but demoe- racy in the lato campaign, If there had been a straight demoeratic candidate for congress inthe Second district it would have sup- ported him. 1t did its best to defeat Powers and elect Boyd. It did its bestto defeat Kem and elect Thompson, Its pretense of being ou the fence deceives mnobody, Its appar- ent “friendly attitude toward the Alliance’ reminds us of the picturein which the mon- key had hold of the cat's paw. THE WEST AND THE COMMISSION. There will soon be a Vacancy in the interstate commerce commission, and the question of the appointment of a suc- cessor will be sectional. The member who is to retire is from New York, and as the east will still be represented on the commission there is a proper and reasonable demand that the west should have a member of that board. Tho re- port is that the president is favorable to the proposal that a western man should receive the appointment, and the state- ment is that two excellent candidates from the west have been named to him. These are Judge Groff, commissioner of the general land office, and Congress- man Gear of Jowa, whose term will expire March 4 next. Either of these gentlemen would be excellent appointments, generally satis- factory to the west. With rega-d to Judge Groff, it is said the president hesitates for the reason that he dislikes to part with so excellent a land com- missioner, whose place it would be very difiicult to fil. This is & merited com- | (hey are certain to be disappointed. pliment to Judge Groff, butthe very fact that he has proved to be so valuable and eficient an officer in his present eapaolty should be the best of reasons why the president should prefer him, if a western man is to be selected, for the no less important duties of the inter- state commerce commission. Unques- tionably the west is entitled to this ap- pointment, It is justly stated that no other section of the country is more keenly interested in railroad traffic than the west and northwest, and when this fact is ndmitted the desirability of hav- ing the west represented on the inter- state commerce commission is also con- ceded. That the appointment of Judge Groft would be entirely satisfactory to the west {s unquestionable,. No man stands higher in the confidence of the western people, and it can be said also that no man enjoys moro fully the respect of the railroad interests of the west as an able and impartial jurist, Hisselection would therefore be received with approval by all concerned, and we have not a doubt that it would be regarded with favor by the country at _large. Tho valuable services rendered by Judge Groff as the chief of the general land office and the superior ability he has shown in that position would under ordinary circum- stances make an imperative demand for his vetention in that office, but in exist- ing conditions he appears to be just the man who is required on the interstate commerce commission. The principal labors of that body at this time relate to the business and policies of western roads, and appear likely to for some time to come, and few men have a better knowledge of these roads and their rela- tions, both to each other and to the pub- lic, than Judge Grofl. ‘We take this position in favor of the appoinvment of Judge Groff to the im- pending vacancy on the interstate com- merce commission without the least knowledge of his views in the and solely from the conviction that the president could make no more worthy or asceptable selection, THIE REAPPORTIONMUENT BILL. The chairman of the house committee on the census has introduced a reappor- tionment bill, whichprovides fo having a total membership of i This number, it appears, is the lowest at which no state will lose a representative in congress and the highest membership at which no state gets an undue increase in its quotu. cording to the state- ment of gains, the following seven states which went democratic in 1838 will to- gether gain ten representatives—Al: bama, A rkansus, Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennecssee, Texas. Eleven states which were republican two years ago will together gain six- teen votes, while Washington, prop- orly to be inoluded in the republi- can list, will gain one, making the total seventeen, a net re- publican gain of seven. The representa- tion of the other twenty-five states, five of which have less than a full ratio, will remain asat present. If this measure is passed, and it has the unanimous sup- port of the republican members of the census committee, 1t would make the membership of the new clectoral college 4 and 223 woull be necessary to a choice. There does not appear to be anything of a partisan nature inthisbill. The republicans would gain a greater ad- vantage by making the memba> the house less than is propos measure, and they cannot advantage without increasin the number of members of tho house to mearly four hundred, which very few would advise, it being pretty generally agreed that the house is already large enough to be manage: able and eflicient. The addition of twenty-four, however, will not be a seri- ous matter, and the proposed basis of representation ought to be readily ac- cepled in view of the fact that it will conciliate vested intercsts. Justice to certain states, Nebraska conspicuously among them, requires that they shall have a larger representation, and to sat- isfactorily meet this demand while keep- ing intact the representation of states that have had littlo progressin popula- tion during the last ten years, is all that can reasonably be asked and ought to encounter no opposition. It ap- pears, however, that all of the democratic members of the consus committeo have withheld their approval from the bill, from which it is casy to infer that it is the purpose of the demo- erats to make a fight upon it. This has been oxpected, however just and fair a measure the republicans should agree to support, and it remains to ba seen on what lines a contest will be made. If they can propose a more fair division of representatives than is done by this bill the country will be glad to have it done, but if they hope to make any reappor- tionment that will not benefit the re- publicans, and thers can be no other rational explanation of their opposition, On the basis of the new population tables no new apportionment can be made that will not bring advantage to the republi- cans. 1 house BosSTON has elected another young man in his thirties, this time to the im- portant position of mayor. He is Na- than Matthews, jr, a democrat. There is nothing remarkable about the feat, howover, as Boston has a reliable demo- cratic majority of over 10,000 It is to be hoped that the success of the youtn- ful politicians in Massachusetts this year will not tempt western born young men to go east and grow up with the country. A CrieAGo stockholder of a Minne- apolis National Building and Loan as- sociation had the effrontery to accuse the management of fraud and was promptly knocked down. Ever since the Minnesota state auditor denounced the concern as & shylock of huge pro- portions its sole argument has been of the knock down variety—financial and fistic, THERE is a very strong feeling in the country that something ought to be done by congress to prevent the gerry- mandering of congressional districts, as has beendone in several of the states within the past yearin flagrant disre- gavd of fairness and justice, The argu- ments in favor of having the districts established b@Eongress are weighty, In the first placiliit is to be remarked that the apportiofient of representatives is nnational duff and it would geem to follow that the same authority which makes the apportionment ought also to determine hoWy reprosentation shall be distributed in tBe states soas to insure the greatest p@ssible fairness to the whole peopleq Everybody under- stands thatg¥a gerrymander must necessarily be un just o o portion of th ople. It is essentially a partisan acfl and moreover it is tran- sient. It isa method that may be re- sorted to with every change in the po- litical control of a state governinent, There is reason to believe that if con- gress were to assume the duty of dis- tricting the states for representatives it would be done with a sense of responsi- bility not tobe expected of a partisan legislature, snd therefore with more fairness, and when done the districting by congress would stand for' ten years, or from census to census, unless in the meantime sufficient reason should be shown for a change in any state. There is & question whether congress has the authority todo this, and it is quite prob- able this question will receive consider- ation at the prosent session ACCORDING to Director Ames, the Union Pacific is in good shape financially, Now let the company lop off superfluous grand divisions and sine- cures created for Harvard graduates, and employ more mechanics on its mutilated rolling stock, and the monthly reports of business will tell adifferent story.

About ton days or two ‘weeks ago he was conversing with afriend at the dinner table about some land of his which lies near the county line. After ho had risen from the table he was approached by a well dressed young man, who latroduced himself as Willlam Taylor and asked if ho had not been speaking of some land he owned in the southeastern part of the state. Kadu told him it was true, and that he also was willing to sell the same. Taylor asked some ques- tions about the land, its location, etc, and finally expressed the notion that he would liko to purchase it. He asked Kaduif he could go down to Syracuse and show him the land. Kaducould not, but gave him a letter of introduction to Hebel & Horn, his agents, recommending him rather strongly for o stranger. Taylor weht down and looked the land over.
