TEE German government Is becom
ing uneasy over the continued emigra
tion of Its subjects to America and
every obstacle , except an absolute pro-
hltlon of-emigration , is being imposed
by the authorities to check the tide
which is draining the empire of BO
large a portion of her available re
sources. Notwithstanding the strong
efforts of the government , the tide of
emigration from Germany to the Uni
ted States , during the first two months
of the present year , has been unprace-
depted in our history. The arrivals
at * the port of New York from the
German provinces aggregate from
3000 to 5000 a week and are constant
ly Increasing. On the 9th of the pre
sent month over 1000 landed at Oastle
"
fe" Garden and local papers say that whole
villages in Fosen and Schleswig are
migrating to America. Unlike some
other countries , notably Italy , those
who are coming are mostly of the bet
ter class of farmers , laborers and me
chanics , who bring with them sufficient
means and sufficient experience to
guarantee their success and to add to
the resources and wealth of thalr new
homes. The greater portion oome
armed with certificates from agents
representing western states or rail-
roadn and upon their arrival go direct
ly to their destination.
THE late vice president is said to
have remarked with emphasis to a
friend that the position of head clerk
In one of the departments of the gov
ernment carried with it more weight
than the presidency of the senate
and vice presidency of the United
States. John Adams dubbed the
vice presidency the most insignificant
office under the sun , Hannibal Ham-
lin complained that its acceptance
helved him for four of the mest
eventful years of America's political
history , and the annoyances attending
the performance of Its inconsequential
duties are said to have hastened the
death of the late Henry Wilson. The
vice president of the United States
Is only important in his poisibilities.
He can neither vote in his party cau
cuses In the senate or make his voice
heard on Important questions of pub
lic policy. He must be absent from
the executive sessions of the senate ,
and ofen his position of presiding
officer is BO circumscribed by prece
dent that its duties are of little mo
ment. The only opportunity through
which the vice-president can rise
above his obscurity to public notice ,
lies in the death of the chief execu
tive. How slight this chance is , may
be seen from the fact that of nine
teen presidents of the United States
only three have died in office.
General Arthur will hardly labor
under the disadvantages of his prede
cessor. The political constitution of
r the Senate is BO peculiar aud Its forces
BO evenly balanced that his vote will
probably ba required upon every im
portant political Issue which arises.
The coming week will witness a lively
contest for the control of the senate
orgtnizition , and if Senator Mahone ,
of Virginia , unites with the republi
can minority , tha question of tie
vice president's power to vote
upon the composition of the
senatorial committees will tin-
nndonbtedly be questioned. Under
the provisions of the constitution the
rico-prrsidout has no vote unless tha is
aonate is equally divided. The right
of the presiding officer to break a tie
upon legislative questions has never
been questioned but serious dispute
has heretofore arisen over his consti
tutional power to cast a deciding vote
upon questions of "confirming appoint
ments , electing officers and other nut
ters outside of tne regular debates of
the senate. Vice-President Wheeler P
three years ago settled *
the question , so far aa
he was concerned , and established Bt
a precedent for his successors by voting
ing upon the seating of Kellogg of
Louisiana , when the senate was a tie.
There is little doupt that , If occasion
requires , Yice President Arthur will
follow the precedent and exercise
his constitutional prerogative , OB
this account , for the first time
the adoption of the constitution ,
vice presidency becomes an active and i
important political force In national .
affairs. ' ' -

BAIjTHIOEE ON MONOPOIJES.
|
There is no doubt that public opin
ion is rapidly crystalizing upon the
monopoly question and the force la
already beginning to make itself felt
In railroad circles. Three presidents
of railroads have recently felt com
pelled to answer personally aome of
the complaints made against railway
management in this country and all
three have met with foemen worthy of
their steel In the replies which their
letters have elicited. But the strong-
eat remonstrating , elements which the
monopolies at present have to combat
are the great commercial bodies of the
country , which one by one are
falling into the anti-monopoly
ranks and expressing sentiments ot
hostility to tba growing power of cor
porations. This action of the New
York board of trade and transporta
tion in denouncing the startling ag
gregation of corporate powers , has
been followed and seconded by the
Baltimore board of trade , who voice
the popular complaint In a tone no
less loud or clearly defined than the
commercial interests of the great me
tropolis of America.
When we see , says the address of
the board , the steady and determined
encroachments upon the rights of the
people , the shutting out of legltLnate
competition , which , at present , is the
only safeguard ; the wielding of a
power and influence which , if not
checked by legislation , will soon
govern Instead of being governed ,
there Is in all this , real cause for
alarm.
The board holds that the * recent
consolidation of the several telegraph
companies of the country is merely
an advance step in the direction of
increasing and perpetuating a gigantic
monopoly , and recommends that the
question , which is closely allied to
that of the railroads , be referred to a
committee from both houses of the
congress to investigate and report pro
tective laws , if In the judgment of
such committee the same ba neces-
nary. It declares that every interest
of production , trade and commerce
demand a rigid investigation of this
pernicious tendency of the times
wliich Is turning a democratic govern
ment Into an aristocracy of wealth ,
the rulers of which -know no law ex
cepting that of their own personal ag
grandizement.
These sentiments are not the ex
pressions of political demagogues or
crazed fanatics. They are the calm de
liberate utterances of business men who
are themselves more or less capitalists
and on that account virtually inter
ested In the preservation of social and
political prosperity and the mainten
ance of law and order. That bodies
ao notedly conservative as the New
York and Baltimore boards of trade
should feel compelled to voice a demand
mand which three years ago was de
nounced by capitalists 'as dangerous
In the extreme , indicates the
rapid formation of a public sen
timent which can neither bo
ridiculed or threatened out of exist
ence. The demand fer state and na
tional regulation of corporate monop
olies is confined to no one section of
the country. From the west , the
movement has rapidly made its way
eastward until the commercial--inter
ests of the Atlantic seaboard are now
voicing the remonstrances and second
ing the appeals of the producers of the
valleys of the Missouri and Mississip
pi. It will be well if the rail
roads read the handwriting on the
walL A tlmo of retribution is coming
when the wrongs of the people will be
backed by the volca of the nation ,
which will make itselFfelt atthe polls
and In the halls of congress.
A CHIEF ENGINEER.
THE BEE does not desire to lose the
present opportunity of Baying a word
in regard to a subject of such impor
tance to the city as the appointmen
of Its chief engineer which will come
up early in April. Thus far no action
has been taken by the city council on
the resignation of the present efficient
chief , John J. Galligan , and yes
terday's disaster points very conclu
sively to what that action should be.
It la due to the good judgment and
excellent management of the present
chief that Omaha did not lose one of .
her finest blocks and have another |
soot in the heart of the city left a
Hack and ugly mass of ruins. The
rl
Insurance men and the business men of L
the cfty almost without exception
unite in the desire that Mr. Galligan
aball be kept in his present position ,
and that his salary shall be increased
to a rewonable amount. The refusal
to do this may cause a loss at any mo
ment that will be irreparable. With
Mr. Galligan at the head of our noble
department we shad at all times feel
secure from the ravages -of the fire
demon , whenever auch security is pos
sible from human hands.
Tan loss of four ( lives in Denver ,
by the fall of the walls of a building
under process of construction , is a
warning to all cities which fall to pro
vide for a proper supervision of all
edifices erected within the corporate
limits. In past years Omaha has
seen flimsy brick sheila built upon
her streets whose continued existence
one of those miracles which entire
fall of explanation.
A LAW relating to libels has passed

take it or leave it. "
"The facts is , " explained the
stranger , aa he poured down half a
pint of the material without a shud
der , "the facts is , that I live In Da
kota , and I was feelln' homesick.
Sti I thought If I could only got a
taste of the genuine old stuff , It
would raise my spirits. But that
isn't the whisky I wanted. This
makes me feel like lenctin' money ,
and : It don't do no good. Good-bye ,
barkeeper. "
And the homesick stranger turned
mournfully away.
You Know How It Is.
What to him was love or hope ?
What to him was joy or care ? Ho
stepped on a plug of slippery soap , the
girl had left on the topmost stair.
His feet flew out like wild , fierce
things ; and ho struck each stair with
sound like a drum ; jd the girl be
low with the scrubbing things , laugh
ed like a fiend to see him come. But
he gathered himself with care and
toil , and repaired the damage with
St Jacobs Oil like any sensible man
would.
