past hazing and the possibility of fu

the arrears of unpaid interest amount
to nearly half as much again , as it is
$49,500,000 , making a total debt ol
$140,500,000. She repudiates some
575,000,003 of pretended obligations ,
including the Jockor claims , -which
Louis .Napoleon made the pretext for
the invasion of Mexico. On the recog
nized debt Mexico is not at present
psying either principal or interest.
Her policy of Isolation , foreign and
domestic wars , and the lack of energy
and enterprise among her people have
altogether made her and kept her very
poor. The now boom In Mexican rail
ways and the movement of American

Mexican resources will doubtless soon
materially change the slate of affaln

DOWN THE MISSODEI.
Five jcara have pasted since this
paper first began its advocacy of the
establishment of barge lines for grain
transportation down the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers. Like its champ
ionship of anti-monopoly principles ,
its position on the question was at
that time ahead of the age. The pro
ject was then objected to as impracti
cable , and denonaced by monopoly
organs as incompatible with tbo laws
of trade which maintained an cast and
west and not a north &nd
south current of transportation across
the continent. To-day practical
experiment has assured the success of
the scheme. Two lines of barges are
in operation between SL Linis and
New Orleans. During last week there
were shipped to the Gulf 352.888
bushels of wheat , 375CG8 bushels of
corn , and 44,933 bushels of oats , 3
total of 773,489 bnsheli against 342- ,
030 for the corresponding week last
year. A company has been formed
in Now Orleans to put on a new line
of ocean steamers for freight ship
ments from New Orltana direct to
London and European ports. Two
of these steamers have already sailed
with full cargoes and will be followed
regularly by others. In the mean
time every exertion is being made to
enlarge the capacity of the already ex
isting barge lines and two others are
projected.
What U practicable on the Mississ
ippi is equally so on the MiefcurL
The greatest grain growlag regions in
world are in the basin of the Missouri.
That river furnishes & grand highway
open to all and ready to bear on ita
bosom the burdens of a continent. It
cannot be monopolized or coerced.
No pooling.arrngomcnt8 or high tar-
ids c n restrict its advantages and
plunder the producer to benefit the
carrier. With llnei of barges running
from Omaha , Nebraska City , Atchisoa
and Kansas City to St. Louis or New
Orleans , the days of monopoly extor
tion would soon be numbered. Grain
placed on barges at Omaha could bo
landed on board the ocean steamers
at New Orleans for from eight to ten
cents a buihel as against seventy-five
cents at tidewater on the Atlantic
seaboard. Good prices , prosperity
and wealth "would quickly follow for
the farmers of the Northwest and cor
porate monopolies would cease their
arrogant and Insolent levy of contri
butions upon the producers of the
land.
land.Othsr
Othsr sections of the country are
moving in this matter , alarmed by the
nawand rapidly growing competition
of the river route. New York is agi
tating the removal of tolls from the
Erie c&nal , Chicago is dincosaing a
line of steamers to Montreal by way of
the Welland canal. Why should no *
Nebraska and Oinahi at once move in
a matter so important to it's great ag
ricultural interests ? Such a move
ment would doubtless receive
substantial encouragement from tiic
producers of western Iowa as
well as those of this state. A
line of barges from Omaha to St.
Louis would bo enabled to transport
throe-GUlis of the surplus grain pro
duction of this state to tidewater at
an annual saving of millions of dollars
lars to Nebrask&ns. The immense
saving In the CDat of transportation
would benefit not alone the producers
but every other citizen of the state.
It would result in return shipments
of European products up
the river in return for
our shipments of grain and produce.
With high prices for what we have to
sell and low prices for what wo have
to buy , Nebraska's advance in the
next ten yeara would bo without par
allel In the history of the Northwest.
Lst the barge line projuct ba thor
oughly dlecuiscd by our people , and
we have no fear for the final deter
mination of the question.
THE B. & . M. railroad has reported
seventy-five miles of side tracks to
the state board of assessment. The
U. P. has made no report of side
tracks. Can It be that the two hun-
drei miles o ! Union Pacific side
track and switches flavo rusted away
during tha past year.
MONOPOLIES don't always win in
every contest. This hsa been strik
ingly demonstrated by the citizens of
Washington. Same monthi ago the
subscribara to the .telephone system
took exception to the high rates
charged by the association , and struck
for a reduction. To this the associa
tion would not consent. The
subscribers at onca banded tcgather
to make war upon the telephone
company. Miny of them agreed to
stop uslcg their instruments until the
company would come to terms. The
company was obstinate , and told the
people to "goto.11 The people did.
They went to the roofs and pitched
off the telephone wires. This was
more than the company could stand ,
and a reduction wai agreed upon
which satisfied the Washlngtonians ;
and now they arex"hclloing" 'at each
other as usual.
Not long ago , in the same city , the
patrons on a line using "bobtail" cars
became dissatisfied with their accom
modations , and Insisted that two-horse
cirs be put on. The company laughed
at the demand. The people rode in
the "bob-tall cars aa usual , but they
ceased to walk up to the Slosson box
and drop in their fare. No matter
how viciously the driver tingled his
little bell , ho failed to discom
pose the riders , who sat
in placid rows or stood up
with a ticket in readiness to be taken
from them. For a passenger to put in
his ova ticket was a fligrant offense ,
but to pass along a fire and put it in
to the box was accounted high ( rea
son , deserving Instant death. The
company tried for two or throe days
to bulldoze their patrons , but
they ware met with firmness
and were obliged to succumb The
"bobtail" cars have been supplanted
on that particular road , and at pres
ent two-horse cars are run much to
the gratification of all these who have
to ride on the line. And all this has
boon achieved by a community that ,
in the language of woman's rlgbti
HOP
champions , is under the heel of op
pression. The citizens of the District
of Columbia , botb male and female ,
have no votes , but they haye away
of asserting their rights that la equal

Irregular Assessments.
Lincoln Joaru l
It is one of the pleasant fictions'
of our form of government that
the burdens thereof are equally
distributed. * * * * Aaatpres ;
ent organized , each county is an Inde
pendent nationality as far as raising
revenue is concerned. That this meth
od his its drawbacks is unlveraally
acknowledged , and no system that
does not compel the assessment of
property for state purposes through
out the state by tbo same rule can be
absolutely fair and equitable. Aa for
instance , land in Douglas county is
assessed at $13.88 ; in the adjoining
county of Washington at $1.63 In
other words , an aero of land In Doug
las county bears more than eight times
as much of the general burdens as an
acre In Washington. Again : In York
county the average valuation of
horses Is § 46.41 ; In the neighboring
county of Hall , $8 95 ! Will any man
claSm that is equitable ? York county
mules are worth in the eye of the as
sessor $05 30 each , while the animal
peculiar to Saline is worth $27.89 ,
and the noble creature degenerated to
§ 15 In Dawaon. The wool-bearing
merino la worth In Pawnee § 2 03 ,
while he gambols about in Nemaha
with a burden of 70 cents on his back ,
and in Dawaon he couldn't be swapped
for a square meal , being worth only
45 cents. In Lincoln county the hrg ,
the farmer's silent partner , is es
teemed at $4 , while In Boona he iS
just tha equivalent of a gallon of
sorghum molasses , to-wlt : 50 cents.
York county considers the average
Talue of cattle to bo worth $14 97 ,
while the fatllnga of Cumlng are prob
ably worthless except for their hides ,
as they are knocked off at a lump rale
of $5 CO
These glaring Irregularities need
no comment , and without further debate -
bate , call for a now deal In the man
ner * of assessments. It is not n
question of whether one Is too high ,
or the other too low. Uniformity Is
demanded. Each county should bo
nearly the same as circumstances will
allow there being llbsrtl allowance
made especially In the matter cf
lands for location , market facilities
and cost of transportation.
Conklmg aa a Party Leader.
San Franc'-Bco Call. "
It has not been usual in the history
of politic } for a party leader to an-
tagonlza' the jnational administration
which he assisted to bring into power.
This Senator Congling , of New York ,
is doing. , HU opposition to the admin
istration arises from the fact that the
president did not think propar to con
sult him in making appointments to
office from the stats of which he is a
senatorial representative. Ho con-
tanda that there is such a thing as the
"courtesy of-the senate , ' in other
words vthat It has been the practice of
the presidents to consult senators as
to who. would be the proper
persons to fill the offices in and
for their respective states. In
this Senator Oonkling is partly but
iof wholly right. When applications
nave been made for office by persons
with whom a president was not per-
conally acquainted , then ho has con
sulted with the congressional repre
sentatives psrticulary the senators
ot tha t to trom vhlch the applica
tion came , as to the claims of the per
son making it. When a president
was personally acquainted with the
merits and qualifications of his ap
pointee , ho required no advice , but
actad on his own responsibility. This
Is what President Girficld did
in < the selection of Judge
Robertson for collector of the port of
New York , and at which Senator Conk-
ling has taken such offence. We do
not remember ever to have heard of
an Instance in which a senator assumed
to exercise such power. He. is pre
paring a speech , it is said , In which
ho will declare open war upon the ad
ministration. The senator does not
stop to consider how unpopular a
movement this will be. The tone of
the hflaontial republican journals of
the country plainly and In a number
of instances admonishingly indicates
that it will meet with no sympathy
from them , while even demo
crats , who would reap all
the advantages of an opin
qnarrel between Senator Conkling and
the president as threatened , abstain
from offering the senator a word of
encouragement. It is unsafe for any
one senator to array himself against
the national administration on no
higher ground than personal pique ,
and this Senator Conkling will be
likely to find out when it is too lite
to repair his Indiscretion. In this con
nection it may bn proper to state that
the resolution adopted by the New
York legislature almost unanimously
endorsing Judge Robertson , was cffer-
ed by a democrat.

Railroad Assessment.
Columbnj Journal.
The people of the state desire evenhanded -
handed jnstica with the corporations.
Notwithstanding the insanity of some
paid talkers , the people make no
other demand , and It is safa to say
they will not be satisfied with less
than this. While railroads are earn
ing enormous percentages upon their
investments , it is very evident to all
who hava given the subject any
thought that they are not bearing
their proportionate burden of the
expenses of government. The
law requires that all property
shall be assessed at Its cash value.
The constitntion requires the "levy
ing a tax by valuation , so that every
person and corporatlon-shiil pay a tax
in proportion to the value of his , her
or its property and franchises. " If the
property of individuals Is assessed at
one-third ita cash value , the tame rule
should be observed with reference to
corporations. Bat It will be seen that
the franchises of corporations ( which
have never been assessed at all in
this state ) are very valuable , in some
Instances more valuable than the
mere property belonging to them ,
and there are different waya of esti
mating this , for the purpose of tax '
ation , by the net earnings compared'
with the investment , as a matter of
interest , and by the market price of
stock , as repiesenting the combined
value of both property end franchise ,
and as representing the same In cash.
The attention of the people of
Nebraska has been directed to this
subject , and will be again. Those
who have the matter In charge may
as well take it for granted that their
actitn will be looked into , and their
motives scrutinized. Let them weigh
it well , doing their wbole dn under
the constitution , in strict compliance
with their oath of office , and in
furtherance of Nebraska's grand
motto , "Equality before the law. "

REMINISCENCE OF HIS LAST DAYS
BUEOPEAN LAMENTATION SEKKISQ
A SUCCESSOR.
LONDON , April 21. The late Lord
Baaconsfield is scarcely laid in his
coffin before political results of his
death began profoundly to agitate the
country , especlsllf leaders of the
party whose acknowledged head he
was for many yaars. It is understood
thatcomervative leaders will almost
immediately hold a meeting to con-
lider the succession. A canvass of
the situation indicates that the choice
of a man to wield the "baton" of the
deceased leader must almost necessari
ly bo m&do from the following list :
Marquis cf Salisbury , Lord Cran-
brooke , er Lord Calrs , present lord
high chancellor , with probabilities in
favor of the selection of the latter.
Sir Stafford Northcote will no doubt
continue to lead the opposition.
MANY INTERESTING ANECDOTES
about the late Lord Beaconsfield are
published in the morning papers. He
occupied himself during his illness
with correcting his last speech deliver
ed In the bousa of lords on the vote
of condolence on the occasion of the
czar's assassination. "I will not go
down to posterity , " said ho , "talking
bad grammar. " The limes relates
of the distinguished
one or two other sayings
tinguished lord during his last illness ,
one cf which corrects a popular mis
apprehension. Lord B rnngton asked
him one day where he was born. "I
was born in the Adelphia/.ho replied ,
"and I may say in a library. My fath
er was not rich when he married. Ho
took snlte apartments in the Adelphia
and as ho possessed a largo collection
of books , all rooms were covered with
them , Including that in which I was
born. "
Another remark of his was the
following characterestic one : "I had
rather live , but I am not afraid of
death. I have suffered so much that
were I a Nihilist , I should confess
everything. " This was a humorous
allusion to the mistaken , bnt pevalent
idea thut Nihilists were subjtcted to
torture after arrest.
Lord llawton Is left by Lord
Beaconsfield sole trustee of his private
papers , with full power to do what ho
thinks right with them. Several times
in tbo course of his illness , Lord
Beiconsfield illuded to certain memo
randa which ha had , but they have
not yet been found. He was very
anxious about the completion of bis
portrait by Mlllai's. His great po
litical opponents , Bright and Ghd-
stone , had b an painted by Millaia ,
and he thought It was no vanity that
he , too , ought to go down to posterity
on the canvas of the great portrait
painter of the day.
By a singular coincidence , Lord
BoacOnsBold dlod on the anniversary
day on which , twelve months before ,
he had left Windsor Castle , after ten
