THE conjui office has made i pre
liminary exhibit of the outstanding
bonded indebtsdness of cities anc
towns in thaUnited States which showe
that 300 municipalities of 7500 inhab
itonts and upwards owe an aggregate
of 5001,346.913 of bonded debt , or
$58 63 per capita. Nearly half ol
this debt it placed at G per cent , in
terest , add the balance at various
rates from 5983,100 at 3 per cent , to
$112,000 at 12 per cent. Forthcom
ing tables will ehor the purposes for
which all bonds were issued , Iho
amounts issued each yoir from 18GO
io.,1880 , end the amounts malurirg in
each year from 1880 to 1900.
UNE of the most vital points upon
which the producers of the state insist
is , that ovoiy individual in Nebraska
shall have equal rights over the rail
roa s. They iutist that their
persons and property shall be
transported without discrimination
and favoritism and that the
public shall ba placed in-a position to'
understand just what each and every
producer or commercial enterprise is
charged and will bo charged for the
transportation of his goods and chattels.
Against this anti-discrimination , pro
vision which has been Incorporated
in Iho railroad law of tMs
tale the corporation managers em
phatically protest. They declarj that
it will work hard ship and injustice tea
a large number of our citizens , that it
will prevent the railroads from fol
lowing out their boaevolent impulses
towards new settlers , and in short
tht should a strict enforcement be
insisted upon , tte whole state of Ne
braska would suffer under a measure
which in fts operation would bo sui
cidal to its development and best in
terest * .
This sort of talk Is nothing new.
No restrictive measure npon capital
has ever been agitated in the United
States that exactly the same howl has
not been heard. When laws to tax in
surance companies \rcre first agitated ,
the people wen informed that every
company would Bo driven from the
state under its operations. The law
W B passed and not only do the com
panies still remain but others are con
stantly jiecttng the patronage of the
public. The case has been the same
with the national banks. Even had
President Hayes failed to veto the
lata funding law no one candidly be
lieves that bank circulation would
have been seriously diminished under
the operation of the act.
The railroad managers have exer
cised considerable ingenuity in figur
ing out exceptions where the law
against discrimination will work in
jury to individual interests in Ne
braska. Some of these exceptions are
undoubtedly genuine , others rre
clearly bogus. But what , if m indi
vidual cases , the anti-discrimination
clau of the railroad bill will bear
heavily npon a few. Exceptions do
not govern either in law or commerce.
It is an nndonbtel fact which the
railroad managers cannot deny that
disarfmlnatian in favor of one locality
or individual is discrimination to the
injury of some other town or person.
The benefiU of such a law to the state
at large must overrule the iso
lated cases of injury quoted by
the railroad attorneys and the
general good which the enforcement
cf the laws fl ill accomplish rill more
than counterbalance these exceptional
casss. And two years hence when
the people of Nebraska thoruoughly
aroused to the vital importance of
this great iuue of the day , send to
Lincoln their chosen representatives ,
any defects which the operation of the
present law may disclose will certainly
bs remedied in the interests of the
people.
IONDBR COEETION
The coercion act has at last gone
into active operation , and Ireland is
under the ehadow of an trbitrary and
relentless tyranny whch promulgates
its edicts in darkness and enforces it's
unrighteous decrees "by suspending the
safeguards of liberty , and by tramp
ling upon ovcry principle of equity
and justice. The star chamber in
Dublin Castle is holding daily
meetings , before whoso mem
ber * , resident magistrates , police
iaspectorsBtipendary justices and con
stabulary officials are sumrdonei to
swear alwcya the liberties of an out-
iago ? people. Mere suspicion of crime
is perverted into proof of conspiracy ,
opportunity for violation of the lawa
is considered as sufficient ground for
arrest under the authorization ot
the acts , and boldness and
bravery in defense of the
rights of a plundered and oppressed
peasantry is distorted into rebellion
against the crown and defiance of the
government.
Such a spectacle as was witnessed
on last Friday in tha room of the
lieutenant-governor at Dublin would
disgrace the palmost days of Russian
deapotiam. It was then and there decided
cided to proscribe the counties of
Chre , cloven baronies in county Cork
Gil way , Kerry , Laitrim , Limerick ,
Mayo , lloscommon and Sligo. The
following proclamation signed by W.
E Foreter , chief secretary , and Gen
eral Slute , commander of the forca in
Ireland , was issued for each
of the counties named aud ordered
printed in the official organ of tbo
landlords :
"We , Lord Lieutenant General ,
and General Governor of Ireland , by
and with the advice of tha privy
council of Ireland , and virtue of an
act passed in the forty-fourth year of
the ralgn of Her Majesty , Quaen Vic
toria , entitled 'An act tor the better
protection of person and property in
Ireland , ' and of every power and au
thority in this bbhalf , do , by this our
order , specify and declare that part of
Ireland hereinafter mentioned that
is to say , the county of ( county inserted
sorted ) shall from and after the 5th
day of March , be and codtinue a pre
scribed district within the meaning of
the provisions of said act. Given at
Dublin Oastlo , this 4th day of March ,
1881. "
It was farther decided that ail per
sons arrested under the provisions of
the coercion act should bo imprisoned
in Kilmainham jail. Two forms ol
warrants for arrest were issued ; one
for high treason and ono for other
offenses to be specified in the body ol
the process. This latter provision
gives ample latitude for the mcsl
tyrannical oppression , and -it is un
necessary to eay that It will be
carried out to the fullest extent.
Some twenty arrests have already
been made. Without exception the
only crime with which the arrested
parties are charged is that of having
been prominent members of the land
league. It is understood tbat the ar
rest of Messrs. Parjiell , Dillon and
Snliivan will shortly fcllusv.
Coercion has now been in operation
a week , and what has been the result ]
Parnell bravely remains at his poet in
parliament and vainly struggles to ob-
strurk the-most lyranuiciHi fc
supplementary measures which the
government are introducing iojippcase
the anger ol the landlord cormorants.
The land league , Itself , refuses to
yield either its principles or its
membership. In place of the
Blattering of thousands of Trifh
tenants and a unanimous movement
towards rent paying which , Mr. I
ter promised would result immediately
from the enforcement of his bill , the
tenant farmers by their common mis-
forluno seem only the more closel ;
united in their life and death struggle
for the right to exist from the fruits
of their labor and to reside upon
tha lands which for cen
turies before English confiscation
were'the property of their forefathers.
It Is to America that both England
and Ireland are' now looking. The
English tories confidently believe
that without American aid the days
of the Land League are numbered ,
and the impoverished tenantry
are equally aware that any
continued resistance to the edicts
of Mr. Gladstone's tyranny will be
worse than useless unless outside suc
cor is freely grunted. .Irishmen have
never been noted for & lack of bravery
in the face of heavy odds and the in-
created troubles and mMortunoa of
their countrymen will only unite more1
closely Irish-Americans in their de
termination to hold up the hands
of their brothers across the watcrJ
And American oympathy for the op-7
pressed will only bo still further In
creased by this latest barbarism on
the part of a government which holds
Iteelf np as tbe model of civilization
and refinement to the other nations
of the earth.

In reply to Judge Black's recent

clares that the poeplo miu1. bo pro

Blaok repeats his charge , reiterating
also the facts which back itj np ,
that through rates established by the
railroad combination are outragacusly
extortionate , and that the local rates

Tbe Anti-Monopoly Cms ado
New Tort Times.
The work of the anti monopoly
league is taken up none too coon. It
is quite time that organized action on
the part of the people agalns' Jim
tremendous organization cf corporate
power was began. The league sets
out with definite purposes. It pro
poses to arouse public attention aud
to inform the popular mind with a
view to securing state and national
legislation which shall bricg the vast
interests of transportation under the
control of law and into subservience
to the rights and interests of the pee
ple. The period for di-cnsaing the
necessity of actien and the authority
to act hai passed. The necessity has
been amply demonstrated. The
authority of the government in the
premises resti upon an impregnable
basis. Qjcstions which legislators
have to consider relate to methods
and limitations in the excrche
of unquestionable power , which
are to le determined by
considerations of expediency
and a regard for practical results. But
legislators will take effective action
only in response to an unmistakable
demand from public opinion. The
corporations have long been alert and
active. Their agents have watched
legislation and brought everyappliance
to bear to secnre provisions of law
favcrable to their objects , and to pre
vent enactments tbat would stand in
their way. They have retained under
liberal pay the best legal talent ; they
have not only carried potent influences
Into the halls and lobbies of legislative
assemblies , but they have lost no op
portunity to work through public elec
tions to gain seats therein for representatives - ;
sentatives of their own who would
labor on every occasion In their in
terest. They have even tried to lay
their hands upon the courts which
Interpret aud apply the lavr , and are
reaching out for control over public
sentiment through th * press.
While the corpora'inns have thus
been strengthening and consolidating
their power , tha people have been al
most unconscious if what has been
going on or have regarded h with a
sort of helpless apathy. Bodies of
commercial men luve- been cognizant
of the facts and hare tndoavorod to
awaken public interest and to promote
legislative action. But the mas of
the people are affected by the abuses
and extortions'ot which complaint has
been made in such an indirect way
that'they have failed to realize how
closely they ara concerned. Eaor
mom taxation upon commerce and in
dustry , whether levied by a govern
ment tj Eupport great arrastnsuts or
by corporations for the enrichment of
the few at the expense of the many ,
is in reality a burden upon all classes ,
depressing tha returns for every kind
of labor and increasing the cost of
living. What is most ot isll needed is
a means of enlightening the public
mind , awakening it to a fall concep
tion of its own interests , and direct
ing it to practical action which shall
bring legislators te'a sense of their re
sponsibility to thoEO whom they are
chosen to represent. The proper l. wo
will bj pissed and faithfully adminis
tered only when the people require it ,
and give their countenance and sup
port t3 none but those who will haed
the requirement. Henca the work of
the anti-monopoly league is not only
practical , but uecaisary , in order to
secure results whose Importance grows
more pressing with every month of de
lay.
lay.If too long neglected , the question
may become one of dominion. In
this country -government ia only an
agency of the people for their own
protection and the promotion of their
genoraUinterests. It is supposed to
rest upon their consent and to bo
wjthin their control. Its taxation is
virtually the eelf-taxalion of the citi
zens for their common purposes. But
the corporate power tbat has been
fostered to gigantic proportions until
it overspreads tha face of the land and
lays its clutch upon the very nerves
and sinews of commerce and industry ,
claims the right to lay tribute without
restriction and regardless of the con
sent of the peoplo. It has enjoyed
virtual immunity from control and
now claims it &s a vested
right. It can tax communities
at will. It can build up here
and keep down there ; it can paralyze
competition and strangle entoiprne ;
it can make rich and it can impover
ish , guided only by the "golden
rule" of its own treasuries , and rut'i-
lessly pursuing the policy , which , ac
cording to Its test calculation * , will
stcure the largest aggregate income.
It not only resists government controJ ,
which ia control by the will of the
people exerted through the constitu
ted mtthods , hut it eeeka to make i ov-
erment its own instrument. It con
tends with the people in the election
of those who make and administer
laws , and becomes a rival of the body
politic in the dominion of the country
so far as its own privileges and inter
ests Era involved.
If it becomes a question of mastery ,
there can bo little doubt as to where
the final viclory will ba. The corptr-
ation have vast woilth aud a power
ful organization , but the people are
many and their resources great. It is
to be hoped that there is no need of
crnteraplating a struggle for the pos
session and control of the agencies of
government. The railrosda of the
country are an instrumentility
of great vsltio fo its growth
and prosperity. They should be.
in no way crippled cr unjustly
dealt with. Their owua and zuauagi ;
are entitled to thu cxorclso of discre
tion and 'judgment in their buslneco ,
and to the enjoyment o ! fair pro Gin
justly acquired. But they should bo
rendered subject to the laws which
will effectually protect tha right of the
people snd guard the interests of thu
public as a whole. The citizens are
called upon at present to make no
other fight than that necessary to in
duce , lasjislators totako _ up the subject
earnestly and treat it with a duo re
gard for all the equities involved.

death of the presidents with whom
they were elected. The term upon
which President Garfield has entered
is the twenty fourth , the first ono
having commenced with George Wash
ington on April 30,1789. Of all those
who have served in Iho presidential
office only seven were elected to fill a
second term , namely George Wash

Ulysses S. Grant.

Washington filled * the presidential
office eight years , commencing his first
orrn in April , 1789 , and his second
Jarch 4 , 1793. Ho was eucceeded by
Fchu Adams , who served only a single
erm , and retired March 4 , 1801. Hia
mmedlate successor was Thomas Jef-
erson.jln 1805 Mr. Jefferson entered
upon his second term. James Madi
son followed on March 4,1809 , aud
Eerved a eccond term , commencing-in
March , 1813. James Monroa served
, wo terms , the first commencing in
L817 , and the second in 1821.
In 1824 there was a scrub race ba-
: ore the people for the presidency ,
which terminated wi.h the election of
John Quincy Adams by the houeo of
representatives. A choice was made
on the first ballot , thirteen stites vot-
ng for Mr. Adams , seven for Andrew
Jackson and four for William H.
Crawford. In this , the first election
sefora the people , Henry Clay , of
Kentucky , was a candidate for the
Irst timo. Andrew Jickson succeed
ed Mr. Adams March 4 , 1829 , and
was inaugurated tha second time in
L833. Jjartin Tan Burcn became
president March 4,1837. Ho was a
candidate for re-election In 1840 , but
was badly defeated by Gsn. HarrLon ,
ho whig candidate.
"Old Tippecanoe , " as ho was calle. ' ,
was sworn into office March 4. 1841.
fhirty-throa' days thereafter he was
sleeping the sleep of death , and Vice
President Tyler took the oath of of-
ice April 6 of the same yosr. Mr.
Tyler apostatized from Iho whig faith
and nought to become his o rn suc
cessor , but neither of the parties hon-
ired him with a nomination. James
L Polk , of Tennesses , served one
teyn , commencing March 4,1845 , and
was succeeded by General Zichary
Taylor , March 5 , 1849. President
Taylor was suddenly removed by
leath , and Vice President Fillrnore
uccceded to tha office July 10 , 1850.
Tranklin Pierce became president
ilarch 4,1853. Ho was followed by
Tames Buchanan , who retired March
: , 1861 , since which time no democrat
las been elected to the pffiee.
Abraham Lincoln succeeded Mr.
Juchanan , and was re-elected to the
ifficein 1864 , beating General George
B. McClellan. Mr. LincolnJ'ser6d
only a few days of his second term ,
being ussaaainatod , and was succeeded
by Andraw Johnson , April 15,1805.
In 1868 the illustrious .soldier , Ulyssea
S. Grant , was elected to the oxccntive
office. He rtrved eight yours in the
position , and rttired Match 5 , 1877 ,
in favor of Ruti-erlord B Hayeo , of
Ohio , who , in turn , was displaced by
Hon. James A. Garfield , the scholar ,
soldier aud statesman. Such , in brief ,
has been our presidential history trom
1789 down to 1881 , a period of ulnoty-
two years.
There are some curious fac'.a con
nected with tha presidency. Only
once in the history of the Nation has
the housa of tepresentntivea been
called upon to choose o president , and
that , as we have shown , hi the ewe cf
John Q. Adams. While three vice-
presidents succeeded to the presidency
through the death * of these duly
elected to tha office , only three , who
Lerved a term in tha vice-president's
office , wera afterwards elected to the
presidency , those three being John
Adams , Thomas Jefferson and Martin
Van Buron. Another curious fact Is
thai no aspirant to the presidency
whoso ( surname commenced with the
letter 0 his aver succeeded. In proof
of this we may mention Clintou , Clay ,
Crawford , C-ilhoun and Oiw , all emi
nent men and well fitted to fill the
station.
tarmsra and Merchants.
Kuril New Toricr.
At the time of the "Grange move
ment , " Eoma eight years ago the com
mercial claaa were disposed to regard
tha action of the farners as antagon
istic to thtmselyeB , and to side with
the transportation "mtereat. This
was no doubtK dUovpfyjthe1- protest
against r.n excess of "middlemen , "
which waa made by' the farmers. But
even the commercial journals newspeak
speak of the elimination of all un
necessary intermediaries is essential
to successful commerce. The fact is
tint thu interests of all tha industrial
classes , the commercial not leas than
the mechanical and fgricuUnral , are
substantially the eamo. The prottit
by the latter against the supernumer
ary middlemen waa simply a phase of.
the demand for labor-saving machin
ery , and the simplification of all in
dustrial processes and methods. It
ia just aa necessary to the progress ol
America , that all extra middlemen
shall bo thrown out , as it ia that the
extra hands In the factory and on the
farm should be eliminated by improv
ed machinery and implements. The
merchants , aa a body , now recognize
this truth.
But they go further than that.
Thay hive taken uo the action against
excessive rates and favoritism on tha
part of transportation corporations
whore the farmers dropped It ( they
may be eeM to have dropped itat all ) ,
aud are pushing it with thi enterpri&o
and vigor with which thuir greater
oramand of capital and bsttcr oppor
tunities of effective co operation give
them , Atd they also meet the proofs
of their coming success in the puerile
epithet of "communist" which they
throw at the farmer , and which the
railroad men now throw at them.
The same homogeneity of interest
which is now admitted to exist be
tween the commcrcm ! and producing
classes will even1 mlly ( and beforelong
we trust ) be seen to exht between
them aud the transportation interest.
It is not for the advantage of Any bua-
ine's min or corporation , In the long
run , to cheat , abuse , or in any way
wrong his or ita customers. It is only
because BO many railway corporations
are now under the management of ig
norant , incompetent and shortsighted
ed men that the public complaint ia
eo loud r-gaitiat them. These man ,
hko incompetent shipmasters , ttill
soon dutnoiutrato the fully of
their mothcda , and ho succeeded by
those who will have aans-i to see thit
juetiea and hon sy ( , ro .tho best and
only policy for tbahi ; that any at
tempt on the pact ; of institutions likn
theirs , so hopelessly in the erip of the
people , and oo subjso to the resst- ?
popular authority , can
only bo made profitable , in the long
run , by treating all wi'h ' whom they
have to deal with the strictest equity.
If th's demand for equity , whether
on th-0 part of farmers or other busi
ness clisses , ia "comuiuninm , " then
communism ia destined to be the law
of the land , for eqniiy the people will
