I t THE DAILY BEE. B. EOSEWATER : EDITOR DAVID DAVIS is no longer the king pin of American politics. JAMES BRIBED.U. . S. A. , and Sir Joseph Porter , K. C. B. , are E&id to be bro'.hcre. AMONG -th'b important problems that Fill have to come up in Omaha nezt season IB the -paving question. THE flowers on the desk o ! Senator Hahone "were emblematical of the death of the democratic majority in the senate. that Mr. Sidney Dillon has arrived the Great American Sunflower will proceed at once to beslobber him with hog wafch. THE city council has virtually abdicated to its enccetaors , They will only hold one more meeting before the election , and that will probably ba to audit theirVills. Taz democratic organ thinks Mr. Boyd would make an excellent Mayor. Undoubtedly ! But Mr. Bqyd prefers killing hogs to killing time In the Mayors' office in the T0BN about is fair play. Now let the now Cz r kill the Nihilists. He aid. aid.That's That's 'what iha Czar has been doing for fifty-six yeara apd the Nihilist think they aren' . quite oven yet. JUST when the legislature was in session the 17. P. shops were to bi greatly enlarged. Mr. Dillon wil please explain what DOW obstacles ore in the way of their enlargement. THERE is eternal fitness in the naming of a little town In Texas which Is called "Hell. " Three murder * were committed there las week within twenty-four hoars. THE navy department has paid $100,000 for a vessel to search for the Jianotto. Her name is the Mary and Helen. The next congress will prob ably be called upon to make an appro prlation for searching for the Mary and Helen. THE attempt of the bourbon organ in these parti to saddle the.blame for ell the bad laws passedby the last legislature upon the republican ! and to credit all the good-laws enacted by thjm to tho. democrats , is In accord with the eternal fitness of things. WjiAi V E else , Js .to be-eald for or against our neighboring city of Oma ha , it must be admitted that it is one of the most progressive , pushing and enterprising town oF the west. [ C , B.

The conduct of the national bank : upon the pissago of the funding bil and especially thair attempt ta dru goon congroti lntoBuY > jvig AVoTj by pro' cipjtating a panic , in ffM street , has very naturally Bet men to thinking ai to the ultimate relations of these in Ktitntlona and the government In thi present state of public feeling towards corporations any sot of capitalists whc undertake to dictate the'financial pol ciy o'f the government In their own interest cannot fail to encounter the most stern opposition. For the firs time slnco the national banks had been chartered "tho' attempt was made to withdraw many millions of their cir calating notes upon a day's notice. Thoinevitablo result of such a course vrss the contraction of the currency and a tightening of thonnoney marke which nearly proved disastrous to the commercial and industrial interests o the country. The position of the national bonds . toward the government is simply that of borrowers. The banks place as collateral in-the vaults of the ttcasnry a given sum In government bonds and the treasury iu return advances them national currency equivalent to 90 per cent of the par value of their bonds. The national banks continue , of courts , ( o draw interest upon'their collateral and use the currency for loans , the 'government being at all times respoBsiSle Jor the redemption of that currency. Now it is common usage among banks In this country to fix a litnU-upon "the redemption of their ; interest bearing certificates of deposit. In other words , if a patron of a bank desires to place a filren sum on deposit , for which he draws interest , the bank will not re deem their loan 'certificates on call , oven though they have an ample supply - ply of currency in their vaults. As a matter of self-protection , the govern ment should fix a limit upon call * 'by national "banks for the withdrawal of bonds aad surrender of their circula tion. At least thirty days' notice | ought 'to be required from any na I tional back before it Is permitted to withdraw its bonds , and when a bank has once withdrawn its circulation it should ntt'be lost reissued except In ex traordinary emergencies. Under her the .present system , the banks can play battle dore and shuttle cock with the government by city withdrawing nd replacing their circu lation every week , thus JsxercisiDg a power that must be a standing men ace to ihe commercial interests of the country. " The very first duty of congress when it meets again in Dacember will be to be dcfiae more clearly the relation of the national banks towards the govern ical ment , and to curb .theirpower ; within reasonable limitr. The recent raid on the .treasury and the bulldozing of congress and the president that finally In defeated the f ending bill has cost this country over $10,000,000. If such a corporate .coalition , encouraged by over uccegt , can * * repeat"its 'performance with Impunity thero-will 1 a a popular uprising in the country that will force the abolition of the national bank her system. . n r ' { ; JIM BBISB1N , U. S. A. Everybody in Omaha , a good many people in .Nebraska , and not a few in Wyoming and the western ter I ritories , know Gent Jim Brisbin. He was among us during the grasshopper invasion , and achieved a good deal cf notoriety as a self-constituted mis sionary ot the grasshopper relief EO ciety. Biisbin is to the regular army what Tibbies is to journalism and the late Col. Notewaro was to immi gration. He is a natural born warri or , and , although not a West Pointer , ho has achieved a great deal of re nown and glory on bloodless fields. Jim Brisbin , as he is familiarly known on the frontier , is a modern FaUtaflu For years and years he has figured in the newspapers , and of late he has even written a book to embalm himself in the memory of fu- tare generations. This book was an Impromptu affair , you know , entirely aboriginal. It is the history of Geu. James A. Garfield. Brisbin's history of Garfield is elegantly bound , and we presume was not so much intended for the perusal of the public a * for the promotion of the author. Every f aw weeks the world is astounded by the appearance " of an article in the metropolitan press over the signature of James Brisbin , IT. S. A. Now a regular army officer has as much right to contribute installments from the American Encyclopedea or extracts from the reports of publii functionaries to the newspapers a : Tibbies h * In appear in court on ho half of the Poncas , but it strikes u it is in decidedly bad taste for an army officer to parade the fact that he is an army officer in connection with such rehashed information. No-editor in America , least of all , the editors of th Now York Herald and Tribune ough to allow themselves to be imposed upon by such mountebanks and plagiarists oven if they do hold a commission in the regular army. Least of all should they impose on the public such com pounds of shears and paste pot in thi shape of letters , as fresh and impor tant news matter. While located at a nest in Montana the irrepressible Brisbin contributed column after column to the New York journals which werelitcrallyfilchodand sclisored out of Bozeman and Helena papers. His latest effusion on the American Indians which appeared in the New York Herald * exposes the credulity ot the editors and shows tha : theyjkre not in the habit of reading the current reports of the Secretary o * the Interior and Commissioner of In dian affairs. The entire letter Is sim ply a cheaky theft of documentary I Information grown musty on tho' ' shelves of every well regulated news paper-office. We despise quackery , Imposture. and humbug in every conceivable shape , and of all impostors , the literary pirate is the most despicable. _ _ We know that regular army 'officero.'whc have come in contact with this swash' ' bnckler and wind-bag , who pomp ously keeps his name befon the American people as James Briebin , U. S. A. , have neither admi ration nor respect , for him , and if thej could retire him Jio would long ago have been editing some "patent bawd ad" lieet in eomo rtnkVPenr ylvanm village whore bis impostures wouldn1 disgrace a class of men \fho pride themselves upon their honor , ' FiUNk HATTON , the nominal editor of the Burlington Haickcye and post' ' master at Burlington , is in Washington ton looking after a. position as assist ant poitmtater general. Hatton hcs about as much influence as a las years' comet. Ho is neither an editor nor a politician. The reputation o his paper Jias been gained entirely by Bob Burdotte , and the only reason for his appointment as paslmaeter at Burlington was to force the govf'rn- ment to'pay a salary which/a-sinking journaVcohldn't afford to ay. Tnx Herald is still harping upon the chances of thq'-.democracy in the coming municipal , election , and is preparing paring to give the democratic nomi nees.a big boom. .Now , the question of politics has nothing to do with the choice of nominees for members of the city government. The tar-pay BIT of Omaha are only Interested in ce caring honest , upright and efficient officials , and their views nppn- the tariff or southern question will.betjf little importance when compared with their practical knowledge of Omaha's needs and their ability to aid in sup plying them. " THE crocodile tears shed by some ournalists over the , bier of , the dead czar are decidedly out of place. The world suffers very llttlo from the loss f a licentious autocrat , who exiled 20,000 of his subject * , arbitrarily ex ecuted hundreds of innocent men and helpless women , and maintained in in Europe the most despotic aud Irre- up iponslble government in the civilized world. DBJJVEE is considering the abandon- big mont of the Holly water system , tbo board of health cf that city having found it inadequate for a young and ens growing city. Kansas City recently 'ono $400,000 through the failnre of Holly pumping machinery , and not even the Holly sharks in Omaha are . as reluctantly forced to admit that our narrowly escaped a great mufor- is tune. JAY GOULD said about tils relations he with corporations : "I am a moro pas " senger ; " and Mr. Yanderbilt said : has "The nicest thing in the world Is" to satisfied with what you have ; that's six what I am. " The Brooklyn Eagle , noticing theea-humblo and - philosoph and reflections , remarks quietly : "The meek shall Inherit the earth. " so THE very men In Omaha who were sympathy with the traitors who at i tempted to destroy free government in i DCS America , and who expressed pleasure the assassination of Abraham' Lincoln , are now the foremost in de may nouncing ihe killing of the czar , an event which is likely to give to Russia first tasteof constitutional irell gov- and ernaiont ; | HONORS TO CONSUL BARROWS. On February 26th an address was presented to Hon. Benjamin H.Bar'm' rows , consul at Dublin for the United States. The address was presented by Mr.jBennet Little. We condense the following from The Dublin Freep nun's Journal of February 28th : Mr. Benoet Little presented the address , which was beautifully illuml nated. He remarked that they were aware it had been intended to present Mr. Barrows with the address at complimentary dinner , but that In- tentiou was abandoned in consequence of the sad death of Dr. Edward Peele , the dear friend of Mr. Barrows , and a gentleman loved and respected by them all. Ho could not fail to be gratified at receiving the address when bt found appended to it the names of1 men distinguished by high position , PI ! eminence and greal le , to whom he became known In the social circle , and ' also the names of men of mark in the commercial world with whom his official position had brought him , ' In contact. In , fact he would 'find there all sorts and conditions of men , I from an archbishop.down to himself ' ( Mr. Little ) . Their appreciation of his many and varied qualities was practically : evinced by the presenta tion of that address , and for himself [ ( Mr.-Little ) he begged to thank Mr : Barrows for bavin ? opened to him new habits of thought , and for having largely added to his knowledge of the American poet and ths American I humorist ( applause ) . He then placed before Mr. Barrows the ad dress , which stated : DEAR SIB Your Irish friends and quaintances desire to express their high opinion of your efficiencj-jas consul for the Uuited States in Dublin , You have been amnnjrst ns for some years , and thn mark ed zeal , -with which your consular duties hava be n discharged has been enhanced ' by the useful function , which you have so successfully undertaken , of introducing many of the Irish public to spheres o American thought and genius hitherto al most unknown on this aids of the Atlantic. By your lectures , yon have created in Dub lin a really intelligent interest in the liter ature of the United States , while you hav < always been a ready and clear source oi light to those in search of information about America. We could fain hope that Your useful and brilliant career in this citj may remain uninterrupted so long as it continuance is compatible with your inter ests and aspirations. The address was signed by 143 gen tlemen , amongst the signatures being the Bight Hon. Mr. Justice Barry , the Hight Hon. the Lord Mayor am the most prominent members of th city government. .The Hon. M. Barrows , replying , said : Gentlemen , I scarcely know in what fashion to return my thanks fo : this address and for the encomium you have so generously bestowed npon mo. You have been pleased to men' ' tion my consular duties In Dublin Let mo.not be understood as orerrat ing _ or underrating the value of tha : service. That duty is to promot American commercial interests abroad and to develop kindly good will and kindly relations between our govern ment and the country to which thi consul is accredited. Gentlemen , I have done what I could , in a business point of vlow for commerce. The cul tivation of hearty good will between the Irish perplo and America needs no expositor in Ireland , knit together as we . are by a thousand ties and sympa thies. Of the social side of my life here , I find lb difficult to speak in term : sufficiently warm. The welcome you gave mo five years ago has abided in mo ever fresh and enduring , aF. count.my life richer for the friend whtse courtesy has never "withered during my stay amorg you. Do no think that I forget the occasion or its surroundings , when I , say that I am not able to reply as I should by reason of the 'recent personal sorrow which has fallen so heavily npon us.al ( hoar , hear ) . The cheering presence of ono whom we loved as a brother and who should haYe.been-wHh-us to' "day , has vanished Irom us Iorover"v and something-of our regret for him must , tinge our meeting. A brJgh light of honor and also of steadfast ness went out among us when he died and because he was your dear..frlend andjnine yonjwill bear with mojwhile I bear testimony to the worth of a sin cere gentleman. In conclusion he said that so. long as It should please hi government to retain him in the pos of consul ho should rejoice to live among them ( applause ( . PERSONALITIES.

INDUSTBIAL , NOTES. Denver proposes to establish lesd pipe and.-whito lead works , using the native galena for material. The use of gas as fuul enables the manufactures of steel and glasa in PIttsburg to produce those articles far more cheaply than formerly. Several large factories , and no end of enlargements and improvements , ara to bo erected and made in Berlin , Out. , the coming season. The Grand Trunk shops at Strat ford , Ont. , are full of work. The em ployes have lately had their wages in creased , and have bean forced to work night and day. The Lehigh Oar , Wheel and Axle worksFullertonhavesecured contracts to build 1000 coal cars for the Lohlgh Valley railroad , 300 gondolas for the New York , Pennsylvania and Ohio company , and 200 box cars for th Commercial Express company. A spar rimtwentyeight fesl in dumetor , the largest crucible steel casting over made , was recently caa at Sheffield , England. To cast it two hundred and seventy pots , each hold Ing eighty pounds of molten steel were. used. Steels wheels are likely to supersede the cast-iron wheels now in general use in Lancashire mills. The Saginaw Barrel company , of Saginaw , Mich. , employs 180 men and has a saw mill with an annual cap aeity 'of 5,000,000 foot. Pine , ash maple , oak , etc. , are worked through this mill. This company also pro duces barrel heads , wooden measures axle-grease boxes , sieve rims' , wash boards , elm patent hoops for sugar barrels. The machinery of thlronOladMon nfactnring company , for the manufac ture of metallic shicgles , which was until recently located at Scotdalo Westmoreland county , is now on it : way to England , and will be located in one of the cities there. The chief pur pose of its removal from this country Is the working up of foreign trade. The North Chicago Rolling Mills in 1880 turned out 100,187.88 tons o" ingots aud 84,845.58 steel rails. Th Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company at Scranton , produced 100,354 gros ; tons of ingots during the year , 84,600 of rails and 228 gross tons of mer chant steel.

The Fontaine engine differs from the standard engine in having the power applied by a single red on each aide running from a cylinder to a.large drive wheel immediately above the front driver on the ordinary loco motive. The upper drive wheel is of the same diameter as the lower , but it bears npon a fhngo several inches smaller than the lower driver , and thus brings into play the principle of large and small pulleys in the driving olle ordinary machinery. The Fontaine locomotive has also no dead centres , for the lower driver acts as a huga bal ance wheel , carrying the uppsr wheel past the point where power is lost. 1JISCRIMINATION. HOW AHIZONA IS ROBBED BY THE PACI FIC RAttBOADS. Tncson ( A. T. ) Joutml. We had occasion in a recent issue to call attention to the encroachmens of the railroads on the public and their increasing tendency to avarlco. Wo then showed that entire sections , with great natural resources , were in danger .of bankruptcy' from the rapacity of these corporations. Wo also suggest ed the advisability of a railroad com mission for the territory on general principles , but the session of the leg islature ] was apparently drawing to a close , and little was. sa& to direct at tention to particular cases or apply the lesson ? there attempted to be taught toui cur community. There are feat ures , however , about the management railroads which call for prompt ac tion by our legislators. Judge Black , hia now famous letter , amplifies the rule that there shall be no diacrlmjna- tion in charges , and that the common wealth has absolute control of the sub * ject.We We will cite f few instances to show discrimination as'mean as it is un just and hurtful to cur merchants : Canned goods are hid down in Sac ramento from the east , a distance of about 3,000 miles , at a freight charge $1 per hundred pounds : but from Sacramento to Tucson , a distance of , miles , or in round numbers 1,000 miles , an additional charge of $2.15 is made that is , more than double the amount is charged for transporting these goods not one-third of the dis tance. From Now York to San Francisco freight on sugar is li cents per pound. The regular rate "from Sacra mento to Tucson , one-third of the dis tance , is 2 cent * . Cartridges from New York to Tncson charged at the rate of-$5.65 per do hundred pounds , and from San Fran cisco to this point the freight charges the same quantity of goods is $5.25. The freight on nails from Pittsburgh Sacramento is 90 cents per hundred weight , and from Sacramento to Tuc F it is $2.15. Wool from Ne r York to Sacramento $4 per hundred weight , and from Sacramento to Tucson $2.65. From Francisco to Tucson it is $6.50 , 15 cents less than from Now York Tucson. These are a few items culled from schedule of freights furnished by railroads. In addition to this glaring injustice and to further show arbitrary manner in which the railroads , we might lay , almost fleece htm their customers , there is hardly a mer chant in Tucson , that receives freight , corn is not continually compelled by a forced loan ( and wo use the word forced advisedly ) to advance to the railroad , upon almost every consign , from 5 to 20percent above their p pretended rat-js in the shape of over to charges. Thus the merchants of Tuc- ( and probably the case in other ( localities ) have loaned to the railroad company at least $5000 , or more , to be returned to'thetn at the end of 60 or 90 day ? , and sometimes not before six months without interest , aid our merchants have no remedy in the matter whatever. In order that our readers may more fully catch our meaning , we will cite a case in point : In the early ps rt of December a concern in this city re ceived a lot of goods on which the freight according ing to the tariff , should have been $890. The railroad charged $960 , an overcharge of $70 , and refused to de liver the goods unless the charges were first paid. At this writing the money has not been refunded. We demand protection of cur legis lature , and we believe we are express ing the desire of nearly the whole mercantile community. We Insist that they do not adjourn before taking some decisive steps looking to the appointment of a railroad commission. Wo believe that unless we follow in the footsteps of eighteen ( states of the union , aud appoint sucti s commis sion , the time will come when this grinding monopoly will bankrupt every merchant in the territory. Ample Justification. Atlanta Constitution. Those qualities which commend the president's inaugural address to all thoughtful people at the south , who are surprised to see a republican offi ' cial give exptojsion to broad and statesmanlike views , will also com mend It to a great majority ol the peopb at the north. They are ample justification af the cordial support which Gan. Garfield received from the hotter element of the republican party , represented in the press by The Nation , The Springfield Republican " can and The "Boston Herald. > > Not aiuce the death of Lincoln have the republicans had a president as capa ble of dealing with the delicate and difficult questions that vex all parties in a statesmanlike manner. We are not disposed to lay undue etross npon mere scholarship in this connection , but It is worth something in giving di rection to the sympathies of a man wbcee personal history , like that of President Garfield , is typical Ameri can. -President Hayes * Saving's. Cleveland Herald. The whole truth concerning the al leged savings of ex-President Hayes from his salary can ba told in a few words' The aggregate of that salary for the four years was $200,000. The expenses of the position during that time were $134,000. Had congress refunded tlte $4,000 ho paid for the expenses of the "visiting statesmen" to Louisiana , hia "savings" would have been about $70,000. As it Is , he went cub of office with $66,000 to be carried from hia account as president to the benefit of his accoqnt as a pri vate citizen. When he became president he was burdened with debts to the amount of $90,000 , mostly on account of bequests charged upon the Birchard estate. Of this amount ho has paid $60,000 out of his savings from the presidential salary , so that the net available repult in cash of his presidential term is $6,000. A WORD IN SEASON. Illustrating the truism that a "word in season" can often bring happiness to a person or household , Mr. W. W.
