The absence of his friend , Mr. Dorsoy , in his hour of tribulation , must bo a great trial to him. WE have been patiently waiting for Dr. Miller to give Mr. Calloway , who has just been appointed ono of the now man agers of the Union Pacific , the usual doao | of taffy. It is all in vain , howovor. What is the matter ? IB the doctor out of taffy , or is ho at outs with his benefactors ? PuiLADEiruiA. has a funeral every half hour the year round. It is no wonder that in such a field Mr. George Washing ton Ohilds , of the Ledffcr , has niado a princely fortune in writing obituary poo- try. It is safe to say that the concluding stereotyped line of his elegies , "Climbed the Golden Stair * , " has alone netted him many thousands of dollars. Mn. GALLOWAY , who comes to the Union Pacific as assistant to Managing > Director Ames , under the now arrange ment of conducting the road , has for many years been the general manager of the Chicago and Grand Trunk railway. He is to bo the practical manager of the | road. Ho is eaid to bo a very capable man , and will prove a valuable acquisition > to the Union Pacific. TUB Philadelphia Press is responsible for the following , which will bo appioci- ciated in a state that gave Garfield over 26,000 majority : "Tho Nebraska democrats have prevailed - vailed upon J. Sterling Morton to retain his position as chairman of the party's state committee. His resignation throw the democracy into such it panic that it was feared Nebraska would go republi can this fall. " Tux supreme court of the United States has decided that a man who is accustomed to having moro than ono pair of brooches may bring a second pair homo with him from B foreign country without paying duty on them , oven if ho has not worn them ; and BO with his wife's petticoats But the poor devil and his wife , who are not accustomed to having now clothes , must pay duty on what they don't wear they cannot bring into the country more than their ordinary supply. But suppose the wife wear ; the breeches , will some astute lawyer loll us how the decision 10of the United States supreme court would apply in surh SOMETIME in the year of grace , 1777 , the state of Georgia furnished to the continental army , then ia its borders , a certain amount of supplies , for which it bai been trying during a century or so , ti get payment. The Forty-seventh con. gross finally allowed this claim and ap propriated the sum of $35,000 to pay it , The controller of the currency , however , refused to deliver the money to the au thorities ql Georgia , but had the amount credited against the debt which Georgia owes the United States government. Inter ,1CG1 a general direct tax to provide for the expanses ot the war was levied on all -of the states. Georgia , with.tho rest of the states that seceded , refused to pay the atsseesinent , and the amount , f50Qi < 00 , still stands against her. The controller had the $35,000 credited against < Jiis account. Now this matter fabea aa important question ss to the * * t of the states that refuted to pay their .quota. If dho claim ia good against 'Georgia , an 4&o controller's action indi. di.he MM , it { certainly good eginst the oOiw state * . About $5,000,000 are batf d'pa the book * fcgaiust these states , i M < | if ik * eUIou are jut they hod bettci R'trRArAOANT APPROPRIATIONS , The recklessness with which tnonoy is * being appropriated by the present conal gross for public buildings is enough to make the average citizen gaup for breath. The forty-seventh congress has boon hold up by democratic philosophers as an awful warning in the way of extravagance ganco for t ro years. Unions the senate shows n wisdom in economy , which the house has failed to exhibit , the forty eighth congress is going to out-do all previous records. Bills for now public buildings are sliding through the house with Astonishing case , considering the difficulty and slowness with which im portant legislation moves. Some of these buildings , undoubtedly uro necessary , but the greater number are steals. Koo- kuk , for instance , is to have a now pub lic bnilding that will cost § 150,000. There are about 12,000 people in that decayed old town , and they need anew now public building about as much as they need an Ico-palaco. Waco , Tex. , town that moat map-makers omit , gets SlcO.OOO. Probably all the public busi ness transacted there could bo done in an ordinary storo-room. Small places in Illinois have their grab , Li all there are over forty of these ap propriations , all of which are excessive and most of which are entirely useless. The most surprising thing about this reckless disposition of the revenue is the total indifloronco with which congress men seem to ruccivo all objections and arguments raised against the different items. When the Keokuk steal was under discussion , it was shown very plain that there was not the slightest necessity for a public building there , and that all the government officers were comfortably and conveniently quar tered in buildings advantageously leased for ton yoara to como ifYot the bill had a clear majority of a hundred. It was so with all the rest of the itome , - Every ono wont through swimmingly , in spite of protest- and ar gument , republicans and democrats bolting the whole thing without opposi tion. Many of the appropriations were rushed through in a has to that was scarcely decent. None scorned to bo given any serious consideration. The manner in which this singular unanimity was brought about is , of course , evident enough. Every congressman who had a . job simply pooled with every other con gressman who had a job to work all the jobs through , and the thing was done Having boon all determined beforehand the reading of the bills and the voting upon them were merely matters of form. In this way $5,000,000 of the country's revenues were showered around with lavish hands. The most fruitful cause of congression al extravagance ia the surplus revenue. It is impossible that there should bo ? 000,000,000 moro in the treasury than the legitimate expenses of the govern ment require without there being frauds somewhere. The presence of such a sur plus is a temptation to extravagant ap propriations that few congressmen can withstand. The amount which each one wants in his district is small in compari son with the whole , and certainly Booms as though the government could afford so trifling a sum , oven if the purpose Is a little shady. So long as the ourplus con tinues to bo a feature in our financial operations , there will bo a constant invi ! * tation to unnecessary expenditures of nil sorts. Of course , for the fact that there is a surplus , the stupidity of previous congresses , who have neglected to reduce the tariff in spite of the evident fact that it was too heavy for the needs of tbo country , is to blame. The people set the seal of their disap proval on the excessive appropriations of the forty-seventh congress in a very sum mary manner. It seams very strange that the forty-eighth congress should have so quickly forgotten that lesson. THE fight between the Oablo interest and Vanderbilt for the control of the Rock Island road is soon to take a do fi nite shape in the election of director. Vundorbilt is supporting John Newell of Cleveland , and Cable has thrown his in fluence in behalf of H. H. Porter , the present incumbent. At first sight this contest looks very much Hko a plain case of dog eat dog , in which the public had no other interest except that the two contestants shall hurt each other as much as possible. There is , however , M a matter ot fact , a good deal of dilferonco between the two sides , and a good deal of reason to hope that Vundorbilt may eventually win. Vanderbilt is a monop olist , and a thoroughly unscrupulous man , but ha is not as mean , gratping and grinding a monopolist as Cable. Ilia methods are larger and more extensive , and ho has got past exacting tribute from particular localities. There is reason to think , therefore , that if ho wins control of the Il > ck Island road , the infamous and shameful monopoly in coal which the Cable ring his kept up so long in western Illinois and eastern Iowa will bo broken up. This monopoly , which for many year * has kept the price of every pound of coal sold > in all that region exorbitantly high , has been maintained chioily through the in strumentality of the Rock Island road The Cable * have used ita fraight tariff to cru u out every competition to their own moves , or to force every other rnino owner in a region of two hundred milei to uuito with ( horn in their gouge game Thuy have kept the people so completely in awe of them by threatening to uco the Immense power which the freight rates give thoin , that although these facts ; are known to all men , yoc no one dares to breathe a complaint. In thin way mil. lion * ot dollars are being wrung by these yulturcs from the coniumors. | All the time there are great numbers ( of mineslu that region , which could fur- nish coal t reasonable rates. But tjj0 Rock Island road wh'eh ' owns or controls all the track thereabouts , nd is nin in the interest of the Cables , stands in the way. The hope is that if tho. Vanderbilt - bilt interest , which is so inimical to the Cable pirates , trains contrrl of the road , equal rates will bo given to all coal ship.c' pen. In that case th/a Cable * will lese their proient grip u pen the trade , and the price of coal wi jl fall at least four cent * a bushel. Tr/at will moan [ the renewal - nowal of the trad'i of a great extent of country in the tt/o states. DEATH ( JP CIIARLKS RBADE , Charles R ado , the novelist , is dead. Ho was bovn in 1814 , and graduated at olagdalon. college , Oxford , in 1835. Al though called to the bar , in 1843 , ho paid moro attention to literature than to law. [ Its first literary effort in the field of fic tion was "Peg Wofllngton , " which gave him an immediate reputation. It was this success , no doubt , that determined his future career , llo at once devoted himself entirely to fiction. His "Christie Johnson" appeared in 1853 , " .Never Too Late to Mend" in 1850 , "Lovo Mo Little , Love Mo Long" in 1859 , "Tho Cloister and the Hearth" in 1801 , "Hard Cash" in 18C3 , "Griffith Gaunt" in I860 , "Put Yourself in Hia Place' ' " in 1870 , and "ATorriblo Temptation" in 1871 These are his principal novels , although ho wrote several others , besides a largo number of short stories. Mr. Kendo's works generally are skillfully and smoothly - ly written , and are noted for their sonoa- tional and intricate plots. Ho wrote with some political or social object in view , his aiai generally being to create some needed reform. His novels are by many ranked with these of Dickens. In point of popularity Rcado certainly stands next to Dickons. Rcado was also a dramatist of considera ble merit. Most of his novels were dramatized by himself , and ho also wrote several independent plays. Ho waa a strong advocate for the righto of authors , and also the international copy right with the United States. In this country his works were road as eagerly as they were in England , and ho waa a frcqaont contributor to loading magazines and periodicals. TUB JiEK'S SPECIAL DISPATCHES. TUB BKB publishes alleged "special dispatches" from the oast. TUP. BEE'S telegraph lines would bo struck by light- ninv if somebody should steal the shears. [ Republican , 5h. In reply to the above TUB BEE pub lished a receipted bill from the Western Union telegraph company showing that TUE BEE received during the month of March over 01CO worth of special dispatches , patches from Chicago , Washington and other eastern points. The Republican of to-day has to acknowledge that its in sinuation , that our specials were bogus , was without foundation. It says : "Tun BEE claims to have received a considerable number of special telegrams during the last month , and quotes a re ceipted bill from the telegraph company in support of its assertion. By this bill wo learn that ninoty-nino ono-hundrodths of Tin : BEE'S special service cornea from Chicago. This is simply nonsense. THE BEE has not had by its specials from the nast a single item of consequential news which was not covered by the associated proas. However , this is none of our funeral. " As usual the Republican has succeeded in making itself supremely ridiculous Anyone who knows anything about nows- gathering knows that Chicago is the prin cipal center in the west for the collection of news. It is th distributing point for the whole western country. THE UEE through its Chicago special correspondent pendent receives news from all ovnr the country , aud news that is either not re ported by the associated press , or Is given moro detail. TUB BEE is willing to lot the public pass judgment upon ita cpocial dispatches , but wo are unwilling to sub mit to the opinion of the Republican , a paper that does not know what news is. Notwithstanding the assertion to the contrary the Republican takes our en terprise to heart as much as if it really was its own funeral. Our specials count for THE BEK every time , and that is what hurts the Republican. GOVUUNOU SIIBIIMAX has not yet filled the vacancy in the Iowa railroad commis sion , although it was understood that ho w uld da so on the 10th of April. Major A. R Anderson , the commissioner whoso term has just expired , ox-Senator Mo Dill , John Y. Stone , an almost forgotten politician , and Lieutenant-Governor Man ning , are candidates for the place. So fir as performing the autlos of the position are concerned , the governor might as well throw a club at the four and take the ono that ho hits. The commission is absolutely powerless for good , and the most devoted railroad attorney would not bo much less effective than an honest man would have to be. The duties of the office are very light , its salary com fortable , and the whole position entirely pleasant. 8i > far as being of any prscti * cal use is concerned , however , the rail way commmiou of Iowa stands about on a level with the Kooloy motor. Mu. RANDALL told the democratic con vention of Pennsylvania that ho had pursued an aggressive coursein congress "in advocacy of the cardinal principles of JeUVraon , Jackson , Polk aud Buchanan. " Those who remember that tha only "oar diual principle" which Jauios Buohan&n had was to have all the nation's ariui stolen and secreted among rebels in the south will think , if * Mr , Randall's own statumeut is true , ho had bettor bo mut cled. BAITIHTB DUUAH , Vho died yesterday - torday in Paris , at the age of 84 years , was a celebrated chemist. He wa * atone ono time minister of agriculture and commerce of Franco. Besides this ho filled several other important public posi tions , both of a political and literary character. QTUKR LANDS MAN OORS. The passage of much discussed fran chise ' bill was ono of the principal events of the week in England , Mr. Gladstone in behalf of his pet echomo made a pow erful speech. Ho maintained that it was a good thing for the state that the largest number of capable citizens should posicss the franchise , and ho defended the extension - tension of the franchise in Ireland as an act of right an usticc. It was no doubt gratifying t him and his supporters - ors to see the bill passed by such a decisive - cisivo vote as 390 to 210. The act is properly entitled the "Rep resentation of the People Act. " It pro vides that a uniform household and lodger franchise at elections shall bo es tablished in all counties and boroughs throughout the United Kingdom , and every man possessed of a household qualification or a lodger qualification shall , if the qualifying promises bo situI ate iu n county in England or Saotland , bo entitled to bo registered as a voter , and when registered to vote at an elec tion for such election ; and if the qualify ing promises bo situate in a county or borough in Ireland , bo entitled to regis ter as a voter , and to vote nt an election for such county or bor ough. When n man himself inhabits any dwelling houau by virtue of any oflico , service or employment , and the dwelling house is not inhabited by any person under whom such man serves in such office , service or employment , ho shall bo deemed for the purposes of this act and of the representation of the people aoto to bo an inhabitant occupier of such dwelling house as a tenant. Subject to the saving in this act for existing voters , the following provisions shall have effect with reference to elections : (1) ( ) A man shall not bo entitled to bo registered as a voter in respect of the ownership of any rent charpw , except the owner of the whole of the tithe rout chiiruo of a rectory or vicarage. (2 ( ) Where two or moro men are own ers either as joint tenants or tonanta in common of an estate in any land or tene ment ono of such man , but not moro than ono , shall , if his interest is sufficient to confer on him a qualification as a voter in respect of the ownership of such es tate , be entitled ( in the like cases and subject to like conditions as if ho were the solo owner ) to bo registered as a voter , and , when registered , to vote at an oloction. Provided that where such owners have derived their interest by descent , succes sion , marriage , marr'aga settlement or will , or where they occupy the land or tenement , and are bona fide engaged as partners carrying on trndo or business thereon , each of such owners whoso in terest is sufficient to confer on him quali fication as a voter shall bo entitled ( in the like cases and subject to the like conditions - ditions as if ho were the solo owner ) to bo registered aa a voter in respect of such ownership , and , when registered , to vote at an election , and the value of the inter est of each such owner , where not other wise legally defined , shall bo ascertained by the division of the total value of the land or tenement equally among the whole of such owners. Every man occu pying any land or tenement in a county or borough in the United Kingdom of a clear yearly value of not less than 10 ehall DO entitled , after the passing of this act , to be registered as a voter , and , when registered , to tote at an election for such county or borough in respect of such occupation subject to the like con ditions respectively , us a man ia , at the passing of this act , entitled to bo regis tered as a voter and to vote at an elec tion for such county In respect of the county occupation franchise , and at an election for such borough in respect of the borough occupation franchise. Bismarck's early retirement from the Prussian ministry seems to b an estab lished fact. Speaking ot the reasons which load him to the stop , ho recently eaid : "I nin seventy years old. My nerves are in bad condition. I have not time to bo unctions. The telegraph fearfully rouItipHf s my work. Germany la interested in whatever happens in the capitals of the world , including Now York and Washington. The world is a chessboard , and I must watch moves af fecting Germany. It in necessary now to study not only dominant politicians , but also wire pullers , financiers and cur- runt opinion everywhere , and to act rap idly upon information telegraphed in haste. The chancellorship is no sinecure. Its duties mfcht overtax a younger man's strength. Without the Emperor's sup port I could not ot through. " While the cable informs us that Em peror William , who hat been in feeble condition for some time past , is convales cent , nin advanced ago , no being iiow 87 years old , renders his ponnunont recove ry very doubtful. Ia fact , his death may announced almost at any time. The accession of the crown prince , Frederick , to the imperial throne will inaugurate a radical change of policy , and of courao put Biamarck on the retired list. The crown prince has very decided viowa on questions of public policy , and they are known to bo radically at variance with these of Prince Bismarck. Ic is by no mentis curtain , however , that Emperor Fredericu will put iuto practice the views and pet theories of Crown Prince Frta- erick. Thu crown prince of Russia , it will bo remembered , was opposed in the most respects , to his father's policy , but when the nihilists mode him ompuror he was a changed man. The situation in Ejypt still continues critical. There are some features of this Anglo-Egyptian war that would appear comical if they wuro not tragical. No- bcdy cither in England or Egypt appears now able to say cluarly what the fighting U about. The British appear to have fought Ojman Digna because ho came too near Htwkim , while ho tuiid the rea son ho came near Sunkim was because they would nut lunvo the country. After heating him , however , and slaughtering thousands of hia followers , they have left it. Thou Gordon is at Khartum trying to make the Mahdi ruler of the Sudan , hut the Mnhdt will not bo nmdo ruler "f the Sudan by him , and says ho will UH him if ho cutohea him , The Boinluy chamber of commerce has made a proposition to the governmnnt of Icdb , which a faw years aio would have "toiled A moro ripple of attention in the united State * , but which at present is of ominous importance to our agricultural interests. Tha government is aski'd to oonatrunt railways to the extent of from t ru thousand to three thousand milea aunually , and at a yearly expenditure of nbout $100,000. The Indian govern ment is also urged to obtain the money by sterling loans in London at 3 } per cent in perpetuity on the capital invested , " locauso of the scarcity of capital for in- cstment in India. This would make omo thousand millions of dollars bo expended on railways in India in ton yoars. This loan i of interest to us in three ways. In the .rat place , it would make an era in the history of those modern loans of English capital. Hitherto they have tended to- ard the west aud southwest. Hereafter this loan is mode , they will tend to- ftrd the east and northwesc. In the ocond place , it would immensely increase ho trade of India with Great Britain , ho product of the loan being in fact mer chandise snipped to India , in rotura for which merchandise would bo shipped to England. In the third place , auch a oan , if properly expended , would tend o largely increase the capital of India aa b wheat and corn growing country , and hus still further depress the price of , hcso products in which wo are so greatly ntoroatod. When political arrests aromado in Rus- 8 ia the victims are generally described in t ; ho police reports as nihilists. " that I > oing the faction which ismost _ dreaded I sy th.o consorvativp portion of the peo- ' i > lo , but by no means the ono which is egardcd as most dangerous by the gov- irnmont. Between the fierce sanguinary hue of the nihilists or anarchists parties .ono down through great variety of shades to the moderate advocates of a constitutional monarchy. Next to the anatchista , who make war upon all politi cal institutions and regard dynamite as a legitimate agent of revolution , are the socialists and communists , who advocate entire social equality and community of goods. Then there is the agrarian revo- "utionary party , which holds with Henry loorgo that there should bo no private wnorship of the soil. Tlieso factions uo separately organized , and ao fre quently in hostility , which greatly lessens the task of the government in keeping them in check. Ono section of the ter rorists insists that the entire organization should bo controlled by a central com- mittcp at St. Petersburg , issmntr its ci ders in Bocrot , and unknown to the agents who are called upon to do its bloody work , while another demands lo cal organization as a bettor means of en- ibling the members to co-opurato in po itic.il movements. Growing out of the anarchist faction is an organization called the "League of Youth , " composed of both Boxes , whoso object is to educate the young of Russia in revolutionary doctrines. Altogether separate from these factions of terrorism and anarchy , and having no sympathy with their aitr s or methods , is the "party of the people , " which de mands that the subjects of the czar shall have a voice and influence in the management of the political affairs of the ouipiro. This party in turn is divided into factions , one of whioh urges cautious advances until the people are better fitted for participation in public affairs , and the other insists upon the duty of the people to use all legitimate means to secure their political rights. A still moro conservative party is enthusi astic for some form of constitutional jovernment after modern European patterns. The programme of this party includes the creation of a legislative body in which all projects of laws shall be openly discussed but that the con sent of the emperor shall bo necessary for their adoption freedom of religious worship , the abolition of the censorship of thn press and a general amnesty for all political offenses. Demands so moderate orate as these indicate how small a share of political or personal liberty exists in Russia ; but not oven the party of Nihilists is moro obnoxious to the govern ment than that of the conservatives , who merely ask for the shadow of a constitu tional system. The ratifications of a treaty between Peru and Chili have been exchanged at Lima , and the war may bo regarded as at an end so far as these powers are con cerned. Between Chili and Bolivia no settlement has boon effected as yet. The terms imposed upon Peru are as harsh as might have been expected. They involve the cession of those southern provinces in which the deposits of guano lie , and which furnished the occasion for the quarrel. It is announced that England and other European pow ers have recorded their objec tions to the cession of these pro vinces , on the ground that Peru had made concessions to their subjects which are not guarded in the treaty. In the view of international law , however , no private rights can militate against the cession of national territory. The now government takes the territory subject to all thn obligations incurred by the old. And foreigners mu t address themselves to its sense of justice in order to secure their rights. The limits set by interna tional law in these matters have not been much respected in the treatment which Peru has received from Europe ans , It was the encroachment of foreign claimants upon Peruvian rights an encroachment somewhat par allel to that of E ynt which plunged these two republics into a bloody war. If Mr. Garficld's policy with reference tea a congress nf the American powers had been carried out , wo would have been in a position to prevent repetitions of the Egyptian tragedy on this continent , and perhaps to secure such terms for Peru as would have made this peace a permanent settlement rather than an armed truce. But under the policy which abstains from united Ainnricun action , lost the sensi bilities of Europe should bo offended , we can but stand and look on. Souator Van Wyok on tbo National Convention.
