THE DAILY BEE. B. BO3EWA7EB ; EPITOB ; THE first improvements Omaha in her improvements should make are municipal government. PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S southern policy of which wo hear so little Is giving universal satisfaction. DEMOCEACT in Madrid and Castile is rapidly Increasing. Castles in Spain Trill noon become unfashionable. KoskcTH'sjUter reports him as enjoying - joying excellent health at the age of 79 , and being pleasantly situated In his viMa at * Tarin . . , * " ' JUDAS ISCAEIOT wasn't anywhere , if we r-re'-to believe our democratic contempories who are discussing Sen ator Mahoao'a latest break. * THE new city council should be above reproach. Otherwise it would bo a w.ate of money to vote bond * for our much needed improvements. TKE weather 'service slippe'd np in predicting the late storm , but Venn or "called th turn" sir -months in ad vance. Vennor is a bigger man than old Hazen. If a set of irresponsible vagrant and political sharks are elected to the city council , that$100-000 in Improvement bonds will never be roted by our people ple into their pockets. HASCALL is after the nomination of ticket. HB m&yor on the republican may possibly be induced to resign in favor of Smythe "if he is guaranteed the presidency of the city council. MR. FRTE , who will take .Secretary Blaino'a place In the senate , is one of the most active political tools of mo nopoly in eongreie. Mr. Fryowill bo in a stew before the expiration of his term.

' WE are constantly In'receipt of let ters from all over the state condemn ing the nomination of Stanlay Mat thews and urging our senators to vote against his confirmation. There Is no donbt'that the mass of Nebraskans ore strongly opposed to the nomination of Jay Gould'a Cincinnati attorney. ME. S. F. DONKELLY , an able and experienced -journalist , Tvho is well and favorably known to our citizens as the former city editor of the Herald , ' hiM accepted the position vacated by .Mr. Kent , who is to be on the edito rial staff of the Silt Like Tribune , Mr. Donnelly i > an old resident of our city , who has in fact , grown up with iha most rapid period of Omaha's de velopment. He may therefore be de. ponded npon to maintain the reputa tion of the local page of THE BEE as a daily reflex of the life and growth of our city. JB. a | gnlGcant fact that the new senate committee on railroads is at the very outset packed with the tools of the monopolies. Kellogg , its chair man , is the last relic of the worst cle- nwnt of southern carpet-baggers , and has no , more chance of returning to the senate than Patterson , of South Carolina , or Spencer , of Alabama. Sewoll , of New Jersey , is president of the West Jersey railroad , and represents - resents the Pennsylvania road in con gress. Teller is the Union Pacific's at torney in Colorado. Brown is the greatj < Tailroad monopoly king of Georgia. Hawley , Sawyer , Lamar and Williams are all reported to in cline in their sympathies towards the 9 * monopolies. Against such a majority Senator Saundcrs * voice is ot likely to carry much weight. TEE RAILROAD TAX LeVW. To the Edit jr of The 'Bee. AB yon ( hare stated in your ia ue 61 March 9 , that other * and myself would now have the plcvrare of explaining onr vote on Senate File Forty , I for one gladly ivail myself of the opportunity. Your state ment of the case , in your anti-monopoly paper , casting the insinuation that others and myself had sold out to the railroads in our vote 'Upon { Senate File 40 , pats me in mind of the traveler who while passing through a barren and desolate country , stopped to inquire of an inhabitant-jw.-to how they made a living in that region. The answer came promptly , " \Ve skin strangers. " "But , " questioned * the trav eler , "What dojon da when there are no strangers ! " "Olio , tint tawe , we skin one another. " While we were fighting our common ene my. rfV THE BEE fought manfully f cr oar cause , bnt when the" country seeks to contend for its rights in a just proportion of the rere- nue to be derived from railroad property , then THE"-BEE .attempts to akiu its own friends. Now , I think that is not only juit and wise , that while we combine to rid ourselves of theinjustceof othersthat we deal fairly with one another. And in so doinir , if-Xm BEE will maVe a-trns Ktatementbf oac actionlnregardto Senate File 40 ; WB "are willinr'that our constit uents should exercise the perfect right they have to commend or condemn our acti < n in the matter , in which the point % at issue , was not between the railroads and the people ple , bnt between thtcities and the coun- try. Hie law of 18 9 ffaTeall _ railroad propertrrW every dascription , to be val ued and assessed with thelline of road , and if the stateboard had discharged their du ty by placing a properTvaluation on the property , the country would have been the vainer * , as against the old law which gava the country nothing but the rolling stock , to be valued and assessed with the line of road. The .house compromise bill being a substitute let house rol's ' Nos. 1 and 2 , R ve depots , depot ground * and all prop erty rtanding on the right of way to be valued and assessed with the line of road , and aUmachineshoiisigtore homes , offices and other property standing off therlght of way , to be assessed Vy the losal or city assessor , for which we worked and "voted , believing that the provisions of the bill were right and jest aa between the cities and the country.

Now for those members -WHO were contending for'th'e country to vote for Senate File 40 in the house would have been to vote , to defeat their own bill in the nenate , and if they de feated the house bill in the senate , it was because the cities were determined to have a1 ! , or leave the old law of ' 79 in f orc , thus allowing the railroads ( if they had any choice ) to gain a victory r both I was not aware at any time &f railroad infiueace either way , except as" reported br , city members , to get tho'o regrosenting the country to vote for Senate 'JFile 40. But some of us did not scare , and as far as J am concerned , am not alarnaed'yet , lint feel determined by afroi.er course of action , compel the state board to do their duty. Don t statistics lie very much , or the cities would have had to do the same , in regard to the city officials , under senate file forty , or they would not have feared any better than the state did in 1880. "What about 310,000 remitted from-time to time by your city officials up to 1874 ?

The property of railroad com panies Is assessed by a state board of equilifeatlon.

Attention has already been called io the movement among New York mer chants to secure the abolition of tolls on canals , and make them free. This movement has gathered strength re cently from the remarkable experi ments in cheap transportation on the Mississippi river. At a meeting oi the Now Xork board of trade , and transportation hold last Wednesday , Mr. - Ai B. Miller apoke In favorpof the abolition of canal tolls , and as an argument for the measure "called attention to anew now danger to the commerce of New York now being developed in the transporta'ion of grain by means of swiftly towad barges down the Missis sippi to New Orleans , wlienco it is hipped lo Europe by steam , the old system having been to carry goods on the Mississippi in fiat boats and from New Orleans in sailing vessels. " Thnt the uneasiness of the New York merchants at thosurpiising illus trations of cheap and rapid carriage on the Mississippi afforded in the Oak- laud's tow of 353,000 bushels of grain to New Orleans is not without ample ground will ba evident from the fig ures in the case. The Oakland will probably T ach New Orleans in eight days from the time of start ing. Tho" trip cm be made in six days , and if necessary , the time of tows wilt 'brought ' down to that standard. This 'will a saving of six days over railroad freight carriage from the Mississippi to the Atlantic eaboard , since ordinary freight trains do nctjmako the transit under twelve days , ' and o tena' consume fourteen days. ' Thla "savingof abc to eight days more than compensates for- the difference in the limb against New Orleana and in favor of NeW York acroas the ocaan , and mikes it prac ticable to ship grain from the Missis sippi all thoiwayby water * to Livtr- pool quicker than by rail to New , York and thence across the ocean. Again , there ia no trtnfer at New Orleans ; tfiere iaonly s shifting the barges being towed alouusido the steamer and the grain hoisted aboard by elev ators. At New York the grain must be first shifted .from the cars at the depot into.'boata , transferred two * or three miles , AntTagiin'shifted to the steamexiini the .harbor involving an expense that freight-at Hew Orleans Is not .subject to.- The barge rate on grain from < St. Louis to New Or leana is.8 cents a bushel , and the ocean .rate thertca , to { Liverpool ia about 20 pcentt making 28 cents a'bushehfrom. St. Lenis to Liverpool by the river route. The rail rate from St. Louis to Now York ia 15 cents a bushel , and the ocean rate thence to Liverpool 17 csnts making 32 cents a buahel from St. Iionls to Liverpool through New uver route and this can be increased io eeyen cents when barge rates shall be reduced to five cents a bushel be tween St. Louis and New Orleana a rate " -which will still leave a good profit. Tha Mississippi river route , therefore , offers two considerable ad vantages over the rail route to New York a difference of seven cents a bushel in freight and of one to three days. In timo. WAY.
