    THE DAILY BEE.
fair way to be adandoned.
A FEW days more and anxious
cabinet moksra cn darole themselves.
to Ilia Fifteen pnzzle.
GENEBAL GABTIELD will bo "at
home" in the White Souse after Fri
day next.
IT is very appropriate that the or
gan of a party of repudiation should
be in favor with repudiation of her
honest debts by our city. That time
will never come.
THE railroads announce themselves
BB sotiafiod with the compromise tai-
atlonTrill , whinh permits them for two
years longer to shirk the greater portion
tion of tne burden of taxation on the
paople.
THE funding bill hat passed the
senate and now needs only the signa
ture of President Hayes to become a
law. A presidential veto is hourly
expected.
THE spsculatlocs regarding the for
mation of the cabinet of General Gar
field do not indicate that the policy of
the new president will bo a sustantial
departure from that of the Isst four
years. Whatever slight errors of
judgment may have been made by
President Hayes and his advhora , it
is undeniable that the present admin
istration has been one of the purest
and best In the history of our pclitice.
It is equally undeniable that its gen
eral aim has been to elevate the stand
ard of the civil service and to reduce
to the minimum the evil practices
which have crept into tbe various
departments of the government We
do not believe that General Garfield
proposes to put into operation a policy
which will nullify the best results of
President Hayes administration. The
sentiment of the republican party and
the country at largo will be against
any radical change in the policy of ad
ministering the public affairs. There is
a growing element in the republican
party who are disposed to revolt against
the rule of the basses and their
return to political ascendency would
certainly imperil the future success of
the party who elected General Garfield
to the presidency. How strong this
element is becoming is seen In the late
municipal and senatorial elections
in Pennsylvania , the homo of one of
the leaders of the "power , prestige
and plunder faction of the republican
parly. That General Garfield will
harmonize all parly disaffection and
unite the leaden of both branches in
cordial adherenca to the administra
tion , we believe and hope. But such
union must not ba consummated at
the expense of any principle which
ha i already boon enunciated. It
should iiot be secured by any parcel
ing out of patronage which will again
fill the public 'offices with political
hacks and ward bummers. The
policy of the now president ,
to gain the support of the
better element of the party , an
element , which , in the long run will
be found to be the most powerful , must
be grounded upon reforms already ao
complished , and be & pledge of still
higher achievements In the direction
of a purer and more efficient adminla
tratlon of the national government.
ME. T. L. M'MuBEAY , who signs
himself M "Tax Agent , U. P. R. B.
Co. , " appears in print , and publishes
a long-winded communication in the
railroad organs , in which he attempts
to show the beauties of the system of
railroad tax exemption and the state
board of discrimination. Mr.
M'llurray calls attention to the fact
that a "compromise bill" passed the
last night of the session and only
awaits the governor's signature to be
come a law. * This compromise bill
Mr. H'Murray assures the public was
cot only accepted but sought for by
the Union Pacific road , and may be
presumed to ba entirely satisfactory
to both the railroads.
THE { BEE Insists now as it has
always insisted that any system of
taxation which does not place the en
tire assessment of tha railroad proper
ty in the hands of local assessors ia
worse than uieloss. This paper has
shown that the state board of equaliz
ation has proved itself an Iniquitous
fraud of the first water , and that it
his been used by the corporations to
evade their" just allotment of Uxea
and to thropr the burden of taxation
upon the community at large. The
compromise bill , which this agent of
the Union -Pacific extols ao highly ,
will be found practically inefficient to
remedy the evil complained of. It
curtails tlightly the powers of the
state board of discrimination ,
but robs the cities , towns
and villages throughout the
sta'e of the local assessment of
depots , depot grounds and buildings ,
right of way and personal property ,
which amount to a large proportion
of the taxable property of the rail
ways. These , as heretofore , will be
listed by the Lincoln railroad tools at
a frtction of their real value , and the
people will ba compelled to foot the
difference.
There can bo no compromise upon
this question of the control of taxation
of railroad property by the communi
ties within which such property la
United. The railroads centreing in
Jersey City have nearly bankrupted
that municipality by their evasion of
local taxation , and the legislature of
Now Jersey is now called upon
to prevent the city from goIng -
Ing into involuntary bankruptcy ,
from this cause alone. In every state
where the same system of corporation
tax shirking has "been in operation , the
people have been forced to appeal for
the repeal ot the law. Nebraska has
thrown away for two years to como an
opportunity which may not again ap is
pear in so favorable a form. Mean *
while the monopolies will reap the
benefits of our legislature lack of
foresight or corrupt bargaining. '
THE TBANSVAAL VICTORY.
Tha valiant Boers , fighting to free
their land from the English invaders
and to parpetnate the republic under
which they hove lived long and hap
pily 1I , will command the ready sym
pathy of every American citizen.
,
Recent events seem to indicate that
the sturdy Dutchmen are amply able
to take care of their own interests
without outside aid. In every en
counter with the British troops dur-
log the l st two months , the Boers
have achieved substantial victory and
the losses of the English have been
terrible , their officers and men falling
one by one under the ready fire of the
Dutch sharp shooters. One battle
two weeks ago closed with but one
officer left in a whole company , and
in the late disastrous battle of
Spitskoep , but four men of the
Fifty-eight regiment escaped alive
from ihe field of action.
The consternation which the awful
fate of Gen. Colley and his entire
command has ciused in Enqland ; ia
well grounded. The conflict with the
Boers is a battle of might against
right. The Boers are practical
marksmen , well supplied with guns
and ammunition , and fighting in a
country "which is admirably adapted
for defensive operations. They are
fighting for their homes and flroiides ,
while the English are battling merely
for conquest and the maintain-
aace of a policy of foreign
aggrcision which has already
launched them Into four disastrous
wars , added millions of pounds to
their public debt , and made them a
laughing stock in the eyes of the
world. There has been no shadow of
an excuse for this shameless attempt
on the part of England to rob of their
possessions an honest , inoffensive and
liberty loving people.
THOSE Ainr .can flunkeys who bold
ly assert that democracy IB a failure ,
and point to England as an example
of the most perfect form of constitu
tional government , would do well to
consider a few figures of the coat of
royalty , recently published. Queen
Victoria whoae father had to borrow
money to bring her mother to Eng >
land is immensely rich. Her hua <
while ha lived. Her daughter , the
princess imperial of Germany , re
ceives $40,000. Her eldest son , the
Prince of Wales , receives § 200,000 ,
his wife 850,000. When ho came ol
ago the accumulated revenues of the
duchy of Cornwall amounted to near
ly $5,000,000 , and were invested so es
to bring him § 200,000 more per
annum. The annual income of the
duchy is about § 375,000 , and all
these , together with his pay as colonel
of the rifle brigade and tenth hussars ,
sir ell the yearly aggregate to at least
§ 760,000. Yet he is always in debt ,
and only a few years ago parliament
voted him § 38,000 to repair his house.
THE Duke of Edinburg receives
4125,000 par annum , and the real of
the royal offspring are provided for on
a proportionately liberal scale. The
royal relatives are not badly treated.
Pjr instance , tha Duke of Cambridge ,
geti $00,000 per nnnura on ac
count of his courtship to the queen ;
nearly § 22,000 as commander-in-chief
of the army , and msre than § 25,000
for hia sorriccs as colonel of four dif
ferent regiments. It waa the father
of this lucky duke who refused to believe <
liove the failure of the potato crop in
Ireland in 1844-45 "because
- , he had
always found the potatoes on his own
table very.good. "
The average annual imperial tax
ation when Victoria came to the
throne was under § 259,000,000. Now
it is not much if any leas than $400-
000,000. Those figures , in connection
with the facts already given , are al
most enough to make every contribut
or to the tax receipts a disciple of
Bradlaugh.
COLORADO journals ere waxing sar
castic over the efforts of the late legis
lature in that state. The Ouray Times
rises to remark that the legislature
tried to amend everything except the
ten commandments and the Lord's
prayer , and probably would have
tackled them had anybody advised
the members of their existence.

which will enable them to earn their
Livelihood. Their apprenticeship has

old and must pass an examination.
The period of training extends over
three year * . During tne first twelve
months the pupil remains a certain
time in each of the different work
shops representing the respective
branches of trade. Consequently , an
insight is obtained into each calling ,
and the ideas and preference of the
student become more and more pro

FBA.MLYN' COUNTY.
A Rich Agricultural Region ,
Watered by Living
Streams.
The Cattle Monopoly and the
Cow Boy Tyrants.
Three Thriving Towns.
Correspondence ot Tin BEE.
This county , through which the B.
&M. railroad passes , is awakening
considerable interest of late. The
Republican river runs througK'ir , and
in many sections it is watered by
charming streams'dotted with timber.
Along these streams you will find
some of the cosiest villas in the west.
This county , like others in the valley ,
was badly scorched by the drouth ,
yet it has fine droves of cattle and
hogs which were doing well when I
last saw them. The paople here are
fast re-constructing stock raising , and
will soon , if not already , put It on a
paying basis. It Is to be hoped that
the richlees cattle business will soon
enter on & new departure. Tast herds
are left to the mercy of the storm ? .
The short buffalo grass , moat nutrl-
clous when it can bo obtained but
buried under a foot of snow , is & poor
dependence in winter. Vast herds ,
from starvation , become unmanagea
ble , and swoop down like the "beasom
of destruction , " and clean out all the
provident farmer has carefully stored
for his own cattle ; and so herds , large
and small , many of them on the fron
tier , must go down in the
general mire. It ia all wrong ,
and it is time the immense
cattle monopoly , with the cowboy tyr
anny , should pass away. Thh
important way of doing things is cruel
and we want Henry Rirgh to come out
and hold a "coroner's inquest" on the
thousands of poor cattle murdered by
inches killed by cold and starvation.
No man ought to own cattle that he
can't take care of , and it is a humiliat
ing spectacle in a Christian nation for
hundreds of thousands of cattle to be
put on the rack of slow torturemonth
after month till their bones whiten the
great pastures of our west
This immense and cruel monopoly , en
tails much of lawlessness and crimeo
which O.ive stands as a fair represen
tative. A man may learn brutality to
ward brutes , which he will practice
towards man.
Suppose by the carelessness of our
transportation companies , a half mil
lion of catlla should be doomed to
cruel exposure , to months of neglect ,
and then to starvation. The civilizsc
world would be loaded with righteous
denunciation , * and just punishment
would bo tneeted out to them.
Humanity justly demands that
cattle in transit must be fed , and have
rest and all the comforts possible
while en route for death for human
benefit. It is in vain to eay that this
has been an unusual winter. Three
out of nine years I have spent In Ne
braska , have witnessed intense cold
and much snow , and it is not safe to
expose such immense herds winter
after winter.
Cruelty to animals is just as great
west as east , end an animal can suffer
from elow torture as well in western No
braika as in Massachusetts. The farm *
ois andjeeders of Franklin county are
L keeping small herds and taking care of
them in the main. Yery few cattle
will be lost. The loss of the immense
h ierda this winter will affect the market
to some extent for years to come , and
iltl will pay those having cattle to keep
them in the best possible" condition ,
P both summer and winter , this always

from these rich fields.

has built up rapidly for the last two
years ; a little too fast , perhaps , if one
could judge from some vacant houses ,
but wo doubt not that the people will
come on and there will not be houses
enough. There is considerable wealth
centered here. The people of this
place made a most enthusiastic effort
to secure the academy just located at
Franklin. The pledges they made
showed the highest appreciation of an
educational institution ; $5,000 was a
noble pledge for the citizens to make
tic secure such advantages for their
children.
BLOOMINGTON ,
The county seat , has also the United
States land office. This is a beautiful
town of much promise. It has also a
class of intelligent people in larger pro
portion than usual. A pleasant town
in which to live. The soil Is as rich
as any in ! the world. The place com *
mauds a fine trade and we predict for
it a fruitful future.
FBANELIN AWD HEB ACADEMY.
This town is comr. aratlvely new , and
small , and yet ner future is in
sured by the location of this institu
tion of learning. I think there has
been some feeling towards fhis place
on the part of sister towns , they fear
ing that the location of the Academy
was the entering wedge for gaining the
county seat. For one I know this is
not the case. I had as much to do
with this , perhaps more , than any one ,
and the thought never entered my
head , and the people of Franklin
would be very foolish agitate the re
moval , or allow it to be done , for long
years to come , if ever. They have
something better. When a religious
bcdy plants an institution they have
many things to take into considera
tion , not only the cash bids , but also
the surroundings. Franklin Is new.
Most of the people are in cordial sym
pathy with the enterprise Tnere
crere several parsons there who had n
boon intimately associated with kin
dred enterprises elsewhere. One fam
ily was among the early settlers of
Dberlin , and identified with the early
history of that wonderful institution.
Others had ITved near the Denmark
academywhich wielded such an influ-
cnca in Iowa. It was belter to begin
a new town , where no liquor was
sold ; where families of congenial
tastes would gather , and where It
would-be safe to send children from
home to be educated. The design
was uot to cast reflections on other
towns by locating there , but all can
that a place that invites
ycung people from home for an
education , must have tha strongest
possible safeguards with the fewest >
temptations. So it is best to begin as hi
near the foundation ai possible and \
build up a harmonious element. The
people of Franklin have set an exam-
pile which has few equals § 3,500 in
a community of that size is something
heroic. It will cost many dentals and
sacrifices to meet those obligations ,
but you may be sure they will be met.
This movement is a bappy .boom in a
depressed time like this , and iis in
fluence on the valley will be most
hopeful. It shows that some people
at least have come to stay , and they
propose to stay in the best possible
shape. It also removes an objection
raited by some of our finest eastern
families ; they do not want to go west
because they cannot educate their
children. The benefits of tbe east
are rapidly moving west , and the to-
fined and intellectual can find affinities
in these flourishing towns. There is
no institution like this within 100
miles , and it must make an education
al center.
Franklin is beautifully situated in
the Republican valley , on the B. &
M. R. R. It slopes gradually down
to the river , and on either sides are
clear brooks lined with trees. Alto
gether it is one of the moat promising
towns of the state. I do not write
this from a personal interest , for I
don't own a foot of land , I have no
corner lots to rise higher than they
are long. I write from cordial sym
pathy with the founders and their
great work. The founders took a wise
precaution to secure quito a quantity
of choice land near the institution ,
which will ba sold at reasonable rates
for the benefit of the academy. The
amount raised on the ground will put
up the main building , and the trustees
have put an efficient agent in the
field , Her. Amos Dresser , and may
put in another. They design to ralso
§ 20,000 , so as to put the institution
on a solid basis.
All hail ! to these permanent enter
prises , wbich tend to anchor people
to their homes. This adds a new
trophy to the enterprise and high
resolves of our new state.
Franklin has a magnificent water
power. A. dam Is "thrown across the
whole of the Republican river. Rico
& James have a fine new mill , but
they do not use near all the power.
Some manufacturing firm wanting a
location near a lire and prosperous
town would do well to secure an in
terest. This place also affords fine fa
cilities for keeping first class live stock
We expect to see lively times in this
new town the coming season. For In
formation write to E. B. James , pres
ident of the board of trustees of Frank
lin Academy. A new circular will
soon give full intormation. Yours ,

A few days ago Peter Cooper , the
Now York Dhllanthropist , celebrated
the ninetieth anniversary of his birth.
The pupils of the Cooper Union free
schools , called npon him at his house
and presented him with a set of en
grossed resolutions , and in the even
ing ho was the subject of a lecture in
the great hail. Here in a fine and
spacious building which he .erected
there have benn for twenty-three
years , during eight months of the
year , free day and eyening schools of
science and art at a cost of § 850,000 ,
the present annual outlay being § 50- ,
000 , The free reading room and li
brary attached are used day and even
ing by thousands of people , and the
founder has just given § 150,000 to enlarge -
large them. In tno class rooma there
are free lectures for students ,
and in the great hall for the public.
Soon there are to bo more facilities
for night instruction , and a select li
brary'and art mussnm. There is al
ready n free school of telegraphy for
women and a women's art school.
And all this the work of one man ,
who not only knew how to make
money , but how to spcmd it. He has
not spent it "like a prince , " for
princes seldom do such things aa ho
nas done ; but he has spent ItJikoa
nobleman ana of nature's own nc-
blemon. Talk about monuments !
What is nil the monumental ttouo
and metal in the world compared with
the Coopar Union ? The pyramids ,
Prince Albert's gorgeous memorialthe
funereal marble and braes in all the
temples in and out of Christendom
will sooner or later be swallowed up
In the insatiate maw of time ; but
this benefactor of hia race haa sot in
motion influences for good that will
live through eternity. His body will
be speedily given back to the dust
from whence It sprang , bat his deeds
are as immortal oa the intellecto they
have cultivated , the souls they have
lifted from darkness to light. If his
nimo could periah hia work could not.
That will survive "the rock-ribbed
and everlasting hill ? . " Generation
after generation will "rhe up and call
him blessed , " and In the grand chorus
of pralae which posterity is preparing
for him there will not be a single dis
cordant note.
Strange that the few , whom fortune
has favored with superabundant
wealth should not imitate Peter Coop
er's example of'ener than they do.
What is the pleasure to be derived
from elegant mansion ? , splendid
pictures , superb equipages , rich ap
parel , and all the pomp and show
which dazzles the eyes of the multi
tude , in comparison with the pleasure
which this old man enjoys as he looks
upon the boys and glrla , the men and
women , to whom he has given oppor
tunities , advantages , capacities they
could not otherwise have had ? What
supreme satisfaction must he feel in
contemplating his investment. What
almost heavenly joy must fill his heart
when he sees the harvest coming from
the seed ho has planted. With what
delightful anticipation must he
through the vision of faith , look for
ward to that harvest as it broadens
and deepens hereafter , enriching the
nation ? and the world. With what
calmness can he approach death , in
the consciousness , the full assurance ,
that he has done something which
death cannot destroy ; something that
will live on and on in eternal youth
and'freshness and beauty. He has
not "builded wiser than he knew , " he
knew the wiadorn of his building
knew that the structure he reared
would mock the ages ; was of the stuff
which "neither malice domestic nor
