MB. REAGAN took the first opportu-
nlty offered by the opening of con
gress to press the inter-state com
merce bill upon the attention of
( he house. His opening remark thai
such a bill was far more important
than the funding scheme , or any
other measure now before congress ,
voices the sentiment cf the producmc
classes of the country. The bill
which Mr. Rmgan hopes to have sub
stituted for the one which has already
been prepared , prohibits discrimina
tion in freight ? charges under the
heaviest penalties. It forbids draw
backs and rebates , provides against
pooling and offers suitable restrictions
against the unbridled powers of corpo-
rY.e monopolies.
THE New York Nation hits the nail
on the head when it saya that Irish
agitation alone has "brought any relief
to the country from its torturers and
oppressors : "It seems horrible and
eounds almost incredible , but it ie
strictly true , that no improvement in
the condition of the Irish Catholic
has taken place since 1700 ,
antil he had made bis discon
tent manifest by "Whitoboyism , "
" Molly Macuireism , " assasination
cf landlords and bailiffs , house-burn
ing and cattle-houghing. He kept up
this pleasing form of agitation for
seventy years before he obtained 01-
dinary civil rights. Ho again tried it
successfully in order to get rid of the
tithes in 1832 ; and once more , in

CONGRESS having reassembled must
shortly duvoio its avtoation to tlio
funding bill introduced by Fernando I
Wood and sectioned by a majority cf
the committee on ways and means.
This hi 1 arranges for the refunding cf
an amount equal to all the bonds
which will fall due this year at three
per cent interest subscription at par.
The total amount of five and six per
oent bonds which-would be taken up
nndor its provisions aggregate the
enormous sum of seven hundred mil
lions of dollars. It can readily bo
seen , if such a measure is practica
ble , that the government would
save annually on interest charges
nearly $2,000,000. There is , however ,
a great difference of opinion as to the
possibility of floating such a largo
loin at this rata of interest. Secre-
tiry Sherman , whoso refunding oper
ations in the past should certainly
give great weight to any opinion
which he may express on the subject ,
denies that a lower rate than three
and a half per cent is practicable.
In this opinion ho is fortified by the
declaration of the heaviest financiers
of the country. The four per cent
bonds now sell at thirteen per cent
premium. If investors are willing to
lend $113 for $1 a year , on the san-e
basis , for $100 they would demand
$3.54 in interest. In other words ,
three and one-half per cant , seems to
bo the lowest rate that the treisuiy
department lisa any reason to expect.
It is the lowest rate at which any na
tion , except Eigland , can borrow in
the London market. It would be
mortifying to our government to plac
the , ? ioaa on t'ao market below par ,
and yet such is liablu to bo the out
come if tha Woods bill , in its j resent
form , bscomes * law.
RA1LBOAD CHARTERS IN TWO
STATES.
Some weeks a o THE BEE referred
to the discussion in tha state of New
York relative to the lapsing of the
charters of tha New York Central
railroad. In 1852 various companies
were nmilgaoiatel and consolidated
under the title of the New York Cen
tral , and the line extended from Al
bany to Buffalo. Later the Hudson
Hirer road was brought into the con
solidation , and the entire line from
Buffalo to New York city was
brought under osio management. to
The legislative invoitig&ti m of last
winter has resulted in bringing to
light the fact that the churiers of the
companies compostrg the Central will
eoon expire. When that period ar
rives the charters will either have to
be extended by legislation , or the
state will have to take the property
nd make payment for the improve in "
ments put on the line. If neither of
these things be done , the right of way
will lapse , aud the land taken for
fha road Trill revert to the heirs
und assigns of the original owners ited
An association l s been formed in
New York city to advocate the taking
of the works by the state when the
chirters Ispse. Leading citizens and
lawyers maintain that the state should
resume the franchise on the expira
tion of the charters , and operate the
line , as it does the Erie canal , in tie
Interest of the people. They argue
that cheap freights would result ,
aid that the city of New York
and the state wonld bo vastly bene-
nted. In view of the eituation. there I
1
will ba an exciting contest between
thecorportionand its opponents for
possession of the legislature , which
wiil have to deal with the question.
Iis opsnly asserted that Yander-
bill's Bite of some $40,000,000 of
Central stock bearing 8 par cent inter
est &nd his investment of the money
in government 4 pur cant bands , was
Ciused by the possibility of the legis-
luurej refusal to extend 1 ha time of
tae charter.
Iti 1889 the state of New Jersey
trill have the right to take at cost the
entire property now under lease to
the Pennsylvania railroad company.
Under the original charters to the
Camden and Amboy railroad , the New
Jersey transportation company and
the Delaware and Rsritan canal , she
reserved thia right. * Upon the consoli
dation of the companies as the United
Companies of New Jersey the time
for taking postssion of the roads by
tha state was extended , but good care
was taken by the legislature to reasseit
its reserved right to take tha worls at
cost. The same provision was made
when the roads were leased to tue
Pennsylvania company. Thus , it will
' bo seen , at the time of granting the
charters at the time of giving an ex
tension , and at the time of authoriz
ing the leasa of the works to an out
side corporation , New Jersey has held
on to her right at a given time to
tike potecssion of them at cost.
When those several works were biiilt
property was very low and labor cheap ,
and the state can now , in a few years
more , take them in and icll them out
again at a very largo profit. Doubt
less the Pennsylvaniarailroad company
will endeavor to got an extension for
another period of years , but the peo-
of the state will make a hard effort to
prevent it. The fact that under the
present contract with the state these
roads are practically exempt from tax
ation , will cause the peopla to fight
any extension of the chatter.
Our forefathers , when they made
the constitution of the United Stiles ,
never contemplated the enormous ex-
tsnfioa of monopoly rale , or provis
ion would certainly have been made
a itution failed to do , it now devolves
upon the various legislatures and con
gress to aoomplish. Either the oS jee-
tlonable features of our present railroad
system must bo removed or else the
states , as fast as their charters ex
pire , must take possession of the
roads and opertte them for the benefit
of the people , who for years have
been EO gro8ly robbed and plundered.

KAILUOAD LCOlSLitlON.
If our coming legislature have any
dcsira to be held iu grateful remem
brance by the peopla whom they rep
resent , a long step ih this direction
can bo taken by abolishing the present
extortionate system of railroad tar.fis
under which Nebraska groana. Aa
long < as the profits of all her ygats of
abundance ure with a careful nicety
shaved off and into the
s placed pock-
J eta of the railroad kings , It is n
wcnder that the cry of "hard Mines"
ariiea when crops are light. While no
one is disposed to question the advan
tages of Milroad connections through' '
out the Blato , nevertheless their ex-
tortiocB are ono cf the most serious
drawbacks to thu population of our
young state , and it is a duty our rrp
rcaentativps VQ to her , us guardians
f her inte-ons , to see that thia as
well as all other drawbacks are re-
moved.
The sentiment of tbe above from
The Central City Courier ia echoed
everywhere. Every body not interfsttd
in the profits cf railrcads seems to fee"
himself oppressed by these giant
monopolies. Will The Courier ba
kind enough [ to tell the legislature
just what to do about it ? Tlio pas
senger tar ff can easily be retched but
freight tariffs are more difficult of man
agement. We are a long distance from
the great markets of the country and
the gruat butt of our freights go
through otates over which Nebraska
has no jurisdiction. The cutting donn
of rates of freight between stations in
Nebraska can , and undoubtedly will ,
be made UD at our expense on the
shipment of grain and stock east and
goods that wo receive from the east.
It is not to the interest of Noj
braska producers and consumers to
have to pay freight according to the
number of miles of shipment bacauso
we would bo at a great disadvantage
in competition with Iowa and lilinoia
So much of our commerce is dona
with points that have to be reached
by roads running through other states
that it would seem that congress alone
can render the necessary assistance.
What oar legislature cm do and
should do is to revise the laws on the
taxation of railroads and other mon
eyed interest" , so that a just and
equitable system of taxation of 1"
property shall be secured. We are
ylad to see the interest manifested by
the farmers of Nebraska , and h
that the agitation of this question
may result in the adoption of semi
practical plan by which the consume
and producer may bs fairly dealt with
and not bo charged extortionate rate
of freight and fare. [ Bastings Jour

Tbe Tear oi Quiet Revolutions.
Philadelphia. Prtss.
Lord Normanby called 1348 the
year of revolutions , because in Feb-
luary of thai year , beginning in Paris ,
( evolution ran from there to the Sici
lies , Jsardinia , Berlin and Dublin.
1880 haa not seen any bloody rovolu <
lions , but n hasty glance around the
world shows a quiel but greater and
moie effectual change in the political
affairs of nearly all the nations than
. any other year of the past ten or
' twenty. This change has been one
that la in accordance whh American
republican principles , and it lies in the
strong efforts of popular feeling to
, inako . itself felt ia its strivings for
' freedom from religioua and royal dom
ination. <
That this Is true a haaty review will
. sco * . Beginning in the north , Nor
way first attracts attention. During
thu year Bjornstjcrne Bjorneou h s
published a book called Tne Republic ,
whose title alone would be ominous
for Swedish rule were It net that the
bv-ld position taken by tha Storthintr ,
in overriding the king himself , is a
nioro striking evidence of republican
fudling a id power in the north In
Russia greater freedom of the preaa
thin was ever known has been ob
taiued by the people aa a compulsory
concession , and an alleviation of the
aalttsx whichisalvTajs an imposition
on the peopleaud thischangeia afavor-
abla sigu of progress toward
free institutions and besides
this the prospec ivo abclicatior
of Alexander is a greater sigh of i
j strengthened liberal force. In Hoi
land an almost ideal state of royalty
exists , for the king haa slid that his
subjects Cdti do as they please , and
when he no longer pleases them ho
will resign. In Belgium the progress
has boon in the direction of religious
liberty , and the elections of 1 B
spring decided that M. Frcro Orban'i
fi ht against Roman supremacy was
approved and that priests r.o longer
can dictate Belgium's educationa"
policy. lu Germany the time has no :
jet arrived for perfect liberty nnd
only the greater unification of th <
country has been accomplished , bii
Franco and England offsut the slow
nesa of prcgrees of liberal ideas. In
France the actual expulsion of the
priests , while hero it may be consid
ured an extreme measure , in reality
produced the same effect as the more
pacific means adopted in Belgium
that of freeing education frinm a
sacerdotal incubus. Further step
have also been taken in France to
ward freedcm of public association
and toward the formation ol an elect
ive magistracy instead of a permanen
and irremovable one , while tha exiet
ence of a radical ministry , weak as
is , is a step toward settling thorepub
lie ou a republican and not a consorv
ativc raonarchiel foundation. In Eu

tolran. Urea ivj ilcry * f JCo cl aui goot

wondure , the existence of the house
of lords h s been seriously threatened
and its fate now lies in the waverinc ;
balance , and the presence , for the
first time , of fiva avowed republican
in the ministry is significant of the
tendency of afl'airs in England. Ever
little Portugal is not behind her
neighbors. To-day a republican
democratic library is icsuing under
the editorship of profes&ors and uepu-
lies , and the names of three , political
factions the regenerators , re
formers a-jd progressists show
as plainly as p ssiblo that a
libeial leaven h at work ,
whch : , from every sign , will before
long r reak foith. Portugal's next door
neighbor , Spain , is fast coming to the
front with a strong republican show
ing. The late speech of Sannr Gas-
tellar ii pregnant with meaning ; eo
also is the remarkable speech of D n
Josa do Carvajsl at a great democratic
, dinner at Malaga on the 2d of Docem-
her ; , The movement in Spain during
this yeahaa been an agitation , but
next year can hardly 150 by without an
outbreak. In Italy the removal of the
corn tax which , like a salt tax , ia
most obnoxious to the people-is a great
concession to popular desire , nnJ in
Italy , as in Franco and England , the
strongest mptnbers of ( he government
are republicans. And BO the battle
from freedom and liberty goes on in
Europe. Turkey alone remains a
blot , and Turkey exists only by the
countenance of kings. The review
above is but an outline. Details
would furnish n more striking proof
of the extraordinary growth and suc
cess of the action of the peopla in
Europe during the past year , but even
an outline affords the strongest evi
dence.
Tno Duty o : the Nebraska Legtslatu re
Salem County Standard.
Tno Nebraska republicans have
more than an ordinary duty to per
form in the coming winter. In addi
tion to that legislation in behalf of the
people in the state from railroad ex
tortion and discriminations will come
first of all the election of a United
States senator that ho should be a man
of the people , and free from corpo
rate contaminations is absolutely nee
essary for party prestige in Nebras
ka. Let the action of the coming
legislature ba jobbery and trickery
to the detriment of the people
ple as it has been heretofore
and death it vrill bo to
the party practicing it. Let not trim
mers and cappers think that because
this fall they pulled the wool over the
eyea of the people to pull through
that tha same thing can be done
aain. The people are awaking and
have reached that paint where the
wiles of the party leader in his cry to
cave the party , will not eave it unless
that party prove itself equal to meet
ing fairly the demands ot capital and
the demands of the sgriculturist who
in this state ia really paramount in
the body politic. On the choice of . -
United States senator hnnga party
importance from another standpoint.
There exists what is known as a stal
wart wing of republicanism in the
senate , which has for its object divis-
iou of the spoils in the sense of re
moving federal officials at will , where
they have some political advantage to
gain for the sake of political strength ,
nnder the guise of party strength ;
With this practice and this gang ,
Pres. Hayes had a row and refused to ( .
carry out their schemes and inaugura
ted that policy and reform in thia par
ticular that gave his opponents the
misname of stalwarts. It was stalwart-
ism and honeety on the part of Hayes
that was genuine and which
saved the party last November. The
president-elect is in full accord with
President Hnyes upon this question ,
no doubt will seek to carry out
came rales. But these to called ii
italwarts , elated with the discomfit
ure of the democratio party , and
jlaiming all the" credit of Garfield's
election , propose to force him back to
' : he old rule. As ihe senate now
stands they are in a olight majority ,
but the new elections may change the
result ; hence Nebraska should se
lect a man perfectly in accord with
thfi administration upon this question.
Paddock , viewed from his acts in the
past , Is not the man , we find him
mobbying with Conkling and Logan
uid p'aying second fiddle with them
jgainst the policy of Hayes and hon
esty , and if returned he will no doubt
fawn like the shysterlng pistareen
.hat ho is to the same crowd and aid in
bringing the party into disrepute with
that Urge honest element in it that
really hold the balinceof po-ver and
will leave it rather than support cor
ruption ,
