    TEE DAILY BEE
JOHX BEIQHT in a Ions and power
ful peech has denounced the Irish
land league as degrading to the Irish
people. John has never rented land
as an Irish tenant or he would change
his tune.
Ir General Van Wyck was suscepti
ble of flattery and eoft soap , he
would doubtless fall into the embrace
of the monopoly cappers that are now
pouring incense at his feet , but Gen
eral Tan Wyck is a man of brains ,
and , withal , a man with fixed ideas
and firm convictions. He can't be
cajoled into the spider's net by such
flimsy bait.
THE was in the Transvaal is ez-
citing general sympathy for the
Boers. Germany and Holland have
raised their voices in behalf of the
nation who , after being four times
driven , from their homes by British
avarice , are now fighting for their
families and their independence. The
British troops are finding the descen
dants of the Dutch farmers fiercer
antagonists than the Zulu eavagcs.
THE eastern question still han s
fire , and the prospect of a peaceful
solution of the disputebetTeen Greece
and Turkey grows daily more prob
able. The French government is takIng -
Ing a strong Interest In the matter ,
and has given its official intimation to
the porte that a fresh conference of
the powers would be acceptable to
France In conjunction with the other
governments. Although the porte has
formally declined the proffered arbi
tration France has not yet given up
her project. M. Saint Helairo , the
minister of foreign affairs , has devised
a plan for the pacification ol the east
ern ombroglio , which contemplates
joint action by Germany and France.
There is little doubt that with concert
of action between these two great pow
ers better results will follow than from
the method which resulted in the Ber
lin conference aud the abortive naval
demonstration.
THE San Francisco CAicmicZesays
that one of the sweetest speeches
that have issued from the lips of a
California legislator for many a day
was made by Felton , of San Mateo ,
on Tuesday. He said :
"It is not the quantity but the
quality of legislation that is needed.
If we pass five or sir bills of general
importance , it is all that the people
will ask us to do. To them we should
devote careful attention ; and we will
have the time to do so if we give them
tha precedence. "
This motto should be committed by
every member of the Nebraska legis
lature. It ij a mournful fact that
three-quarters of the sessions of state
legislatures are devoted to buncombe
and foolish bills , while important and
necessary legislation is either inde
finitely postponed or hurried through
at the last moment full of blunders
and imperfections.
THEKE are two bills now before the
legislature proposing to repeal the
present law that practically exempts
railway property from local taxation.
In our opinion these bills do not go
far enough. The constitution of this
etato requires that all property shall
bo taxed alike. Under the old law
the roadway and rolling stock of the
railroads was assessed by the state
board of equalization , composed of the
governor , auditor and treasurer.
Those officers , or rather two of them ,
fixed a uniform value upon this class
of property and the assessment
was divided pro rata along the lines of
the respective roads. On the other
hand the property of individuals and
private corporations was assessed at
the place when the property was
located at the residence of the owner.
Now we cinnot see why the railroads
should be treated differently in res
pect to the assessment of their pro
perty from the owners of other pro
perty. By assessing the tracks , road
way and bridges for the entire length
of each road and dividing the total
pro rata according to the mileage
of each road at a fixed maximum rate ,
great injustice is done , and diicrimi-
na'.ion practiced not contemplated by
our constitution. For instance , the
actual value of the railroads on the
plains , where the grading is very light
and the construction outlay nominal ,
is a good deal less than in locations
whore the railroads have to be con
structed through ravines , where costly
culverts and bridges have to be
built. Another feature of dis
crimination is at terminal
stations , when the railroads own
miles and miles of costly side tracks
and switches , the locations receive no
benefit , because it is all lumped in
and distributed along the line of roa * .
If It Is proper for the state board of
equalization to fix the value of rail
road tracks , o rs , and locomotives , '
why should they not also fix the val
uation of factories , horses , 'cattle i.nd
products ? All this class of
property is assessed by
each local assessor and the
value of a horse in Douglas county is
a good deal different from thit value
In Cheyenne county. Under the pres
ent law , the state board of equaliza
tion aueued all the depot grounds of
the Union Pacific between Omaha
and Sidney , inclusive , at $11,000.
The Omaha d pnt grounds alone were
purchased by the city ana donated to
the Union Pacific at a cost of § 200- ,
000 , and the Union Pacific has acquired -
quired considerable real estate since.
The value of railroad property in
Douglas , Oass and Lancaster counties
where BO m ny local imorovements
have been made , is certainly more
thtn the value cf the bare tract be
tween North Platte and Jnlesburg.
We don't ask that railroad property
shall be taxed at any higher rates than
any other property , but we insist that
rallrotd property shall bear I-
J an equal-
proportion of the burdens of tixation.
X r Any law that falls short of this , falls
to carry out the spirit of the con-titu-
tloa and will nat natisly the people.

THE NEW EEA.
With the election of General Yan
Wyck to the United States senate a
new era dawns upon Nebraska in her
political history. For the past ten
years it has been the fashion in Ne
braska to decry men of brains who
had the courage to assert their con
victions , because their positiveness
made them enemies. It has been the
custom in oar state conven
tions to seek ont wooden men ,
fence riders , trimmers and cowards
who never dared to express an opin-
Ion on any vital question- the only
persons fit to 11 the gubernatorial
chair or to represent us in congress.
Oar selections -were made on about the
same theory that petit jurors are
picked. The man who had formed or
expressed an opinion on any subject
was barred out. Thus Nebraska , in
the last decade haa been gradually go
ing down. From Dave Butler to
James , and James to Nance , the whole
brood of governors has marked a ten
dency from positive character to the
men of negative stamp. It was so
from John Tafft to Yalentine.
Henceforth no man need look for '
high office in Nebraska unless he
has brains enough and abil
ity enough to make enemies.
A man without enemies is a stick and
should never ba tolerated in public
life. In a state like ours , where the
republican majority ranges from
twenty to twenty-five thousand , there
is no danger of defeating- ticket by
nominating men who have made
enemies by their known opinions
and convictions. Far better bo de
feated with such men , than victorious
with putty-heads , who can be moulded
by cunning jobbers and corporation
attorneys into mere toolsc
In General YanWyck's election
positiveism has found its highest ex
emplar. He is fearless iu asserting
what he believes to te right , and in
assailing wh&t he believes to be wrong.
He has opinions upon all the living
issues of the dy , and is never afraid
to express them. No man is infalli
ble , and General YanWyck , like many
other men , sometimes errs ; but men
will always know where to find him ,
and that fact alone attones for any
mistake he may make.
The demoralizing tendency of our
politics has been the success that has
attended what are known as policy
men , who pride themselves upon keep *
ing their mouths shut upon every vi
tal issue , and who turn their sails to
the wind , taking care , always , to be
With the winning side even at the
sacrifice cf principle and integrity.
For our part , we shall insist that
every man who aspires to any posi
tion shall first give public expression
to his views on issues of the d y , so
wo may know where to find him after
he is elected. Traitors may betray ,
and venal scoundrels may sell out ,
bat the chances are that men who
seek positions of honor and trust will
find honesty the best policy. When
the popular sentiment is once aroused
and the fiat goes forth that only m.en
of positive opinions and known ability
will receive popular endorsement , we
shall have no trouble in finding the
men that have the nerve to assert
themselves.
OF course Mr. Church Howe roted
for General Van Wyck from first to
last , but that ought not to deceive
people as to his real intentions in the
the senatorial fight. Mr. Church
Howe weut to Lincoln as the apostle
of the preferred candidate of the
Union Pacific Governor Nance. His
two mortal enemies , Bill Daily and
Tom Majors were supporting Paddock
and Dundy. Church Howe wasn't
fool enough to play second fiddle to
either of them , hence he started out
for Van Wyck. Had there ever been
any opportunity to "lead a stampede
from Van Wyck , Church Howe
would have been delighted
to do so. Fortunately for
him and unfortunately for Majors
and Dailey , General Van Wyck'a pol
knocked down the persimmons , and
Church Howe now claims to be way
on top as an original Van Wyck man
aud as the friend of the granger. If
there aru any grangers gullible enough
to be deceived by Church Howe's pre
tensions , they ought to be sold out
again. Whatever credit may be due
to Church Howe for catting his vote
for VanWyck , It cannot andshonldnot
reinstate him in public confidence.
A man that winld accept the position
of maal-r of the state grange while
capping for the monopolies , t man
who only two years ago suppressed all
leclslation to regulate the railway
traffic and reported that the people
were suffering from no grievances , Is
not to be trusted under any circum
stances.
You can catch more flies with sugar
than with vinegar , and Mr. Kim ball's
spider is wasting an immense amount
of sweetness on the desert air. Gen
eral Van Wyck is not that kind of a
fly.

that farmers can talk. ) But we still

the greatest the country has ever seen ,
if we keep together , pull together ,
work together , and support those pa
