BLEEDING Kansas IB receiving the attention of the press" throughout th6 country over her now prohibition law which evidently doesn't work as its friends intended it should.The Springfield Republican makes the following timely remarks on the ques tion : "The iron-bound prohibitory law in Kansas went into eflect on the 1st , and though the drinkers can hardly be supposed to ha\o yet exhausted the extra * wholly sup plies then laid hi , there is already talk of a compromise. Thoold difficulty of enforcing the law is said to bo B clearly recognized that the temperance people are willing to come to an illegal "un derstanding" to let the selling of beer go by default , at Lcavenworth at least'if the saloon-keepers on their part will abstain from selling spirits and will .keep their places religiously closed on Sundays. This of course makes a nice tiling for the saloons which Twill Isell without molestation and are spared the expense of high- priced licenses ; but it is a question if tliis is not after all a very good tem perance compromise , leaving out Ihe morality question of making , laws which" cannot bo enforced. With only one week's experience .it has become evident that the prohibitory law can not be enforced. Kansas people are bound to drink something whisky perhaps more than anything eke ; they would naturally drink still more of that under a prohibitory law , and it is a sensible arrangement which will rule that out and substitute the less harm ful lager. THE BKE will please cast Hosewa ters eyes over the following , which we take from a dispatch in Monday's Li ter-Ocean : "It has been developed that under a misapprehension about his pair Senator Saunders , of Nebras ka , who would have voted for he con firmation of Stanley Matthews a justice of the United States su preme court , refrained from voting ing , and thus Matthews lost a vote. " And so The Republican was in error , in j > oint of literal fact when It called THE BEE'S attention to the circumstance that Senator Saun ders voted- for Stanley Matthews' * confirmation. Ho did not so vote , but ho would have so voted , had he voted. THE BEE will have to take the will for the deed , if it is .anxious to recognize the deed. [ Republican.

Judge Robertson is not appointed collector of New Yorl as a reward for his services to General Garfield , but as a representative of a large and influential element in the republican party. It has been the aim of General Garfield to recognize and honor allThe-elcmcnts of the party , but the "bosses of the Conkling and Cameron ] order , insist that "allegiance to their personal fortunes is more binding than allegiance to party. For years they have tram pled under foot the rights * of cvery- [ jne of their opponents in the party Mid have driven thousands out of the party who left. , in sheer despair and iisgust over the intrigues and close : orporation tyranny w hich has been emorselessly exorcised in the Empire itate.

ALT , this may be fun for- Blaine , Conkling , and Garfield , but it is death to the republican party..Republican. . The republican party is not so weak ened in public confidences to depend for'its existence upon the favor arfd good grace Of one man. For eight years past Senator Conkling has repre sented an clement in the party which has been a constant dead weight to its progress' and a most fruitful source of trouble and discontent. That element has furnished the campaign ammunition for its enemies and has drawn upon the party a continuous fusilado from its friends. Bossism has received a death blow , Taut the * republican party will be strengthened by the settling of the questions hcther one senator can dictate terms to both president and party. t , ONLY six republican senators have the boldness to brave the possible loss jf patronage.

At this point the stock of presi dential patience gave way , and tin Robertson appointment was sent t < the senate. Upon this the senator organized hi "courtesy" and the abject caucus sa like a squad of old hens on thei : spoiled eggs in awe of the a\\fu rooster. The only popular objection to tin President is that ho did not fight thi vulgar an preposterous pretensions o Mr. Conkling soon enough ; and not every blow w ell aimed at the Primac ] of impudence will bo applaudec throughout the land.

It is a very easy matter for writers to predict the approaching fall of great nations , but it is seldom that such predictions are verified by future avents. The only way by which the fluctuations of a nation's power can be correctly stated is from actual ob servations of the present. From such a standpoint there are cogent reasons for believing that Great Britain is on the broad road to national iccadenco. Facts have been given in these columns , time and again , proving that this country is wrest ing from Great Britian her commercial ind industrial supremacy. Well nuthenticated reports now prove that the English agricultural interests are also urcatly on the decline. Trust worthy information , coveiing about Dnd-half of the agricultural area of the kingdom , demonstrates that the value of arable land has materiallj" depreciated within the lasfc few years. Good land in Lincon- shire w hich formerly rented at from six to eight dollars per acre now only brings from three to five dollars. The eastern and midland counties are still worse off. In Leicestershire land brings just one-half what it did five years ago. In some districts there arc Large estates deserted by tenants and covered with weeds. The cause of this agricultural trouble is the com petition of American products , the worn-out condition of the soil in Eng land and a scries of bad harvests. The war footing of England is dc - scribed in a recent article in The Nineteenth Century as simply do plorablo. Her navy , though the strongest in the world , is Regarded as weak considering the calls that maybe bo made upon it for service in miard- ing a vast expanse of seacoast , pro tecting the road to India by way of the Mediterranean , and defending vast maritime interests distributed all over the world. The writer calculates that it is possible at almost any time to land fifty thousand foreign soldiers' within three days march of London , ind that only 47,787 English soldiers : ould be put in the field against them. Chore arc three hundred thousand nilitiamon and volunteers in Eng- and , but the writer thinks that they : ould bo of but little service against ho well-disciplined and well-armed roops of any Euronean nation. The Power f of Monopoly. HeiclAnd Leader. In various parts of the country larticularly in the eastern and western ections , there is a growing spirit of esistanco to the usurpations , extor ionate exactions and tyrannical im- ositions of the great railway corpora ions. The opposition is assuming he form of organization , and the best nd ablest citizens in various localities re giving themselves to the work , 'or example , the anti-monopoly jagucs of Jersey City , although but ecently organized , now number more lian 3,500 active members , the great lass of them being property owners rho suffer from burdens imposed by ( ie corporations having a terminus at hat point. By means which corpora- ions always know how to organize , lie great railways running tx > the [ udson river have managed to secure ith the exception of a single wharf , lie entire water froi t stretching from tergen Point to Biul'i Ferry , a dis- wice of ten miles. Not satisfied with liis possession they have extended lieu- yards far inland , closing treetfl , and covering valuable locks of ground both in Jersey ! ity andHoboken. The value of this roperty is variously estimated at rom $35,000,000 to § 60,000,000 , all of rhich receives municipal protection , nd yet is practically freed from mu- icipal taxation. As a result the bur- 'ens of the people are enormously in- reased. Private property is.mada. to ay the taxes of overgrown , money- jaking corporations. Against this the eople rebel , and are looking to ariti- ipnopoly agitation as a means of ob- lining some sort of redress in the fu- are. This , however , can only come irpughachangein the state consti- ition , providing a way by which the ttraordinary privileges of the cor- oraf ions may be extinguished. Jersey City furnishes only a sample vsc of the growing tyranny of rail- ays and the burdens they impose , here arc other ways and methods irough which they impose upon the ublicand damage private interests. Tithin a day or two past it was shown ; a meeting of the New York board i trade and transportation that the alicy of the great trunk lines was Ding serioOs damage to the commerce : that city. It was said that these unk lines , running east and west are rmly bound by a contract to pool icir freights.at suchxatea as the pool immissioner may fix , and that as a suit the .rates .ore almost prohibitory ipccially so with reference to grain. ho rate per bushel for 'barges-from St. Louis tolfew Orlean is five cents.while the pool rate b ; rail from St. Louis to New York ; less distance is twenty cents "pe bushel. The rate of. freight fron New Orleansto- Liverpool is about Ci perJrashel , from New York" to Liver LpooF4id. It therefore appears tha "gram is'caried from St. Louis to Liv erpool , via New- Orleans , forseventeei cents per bushel , while it costs via Ne\ York tw enty-nino and one-half cents From St. PaulMinn.the ratethroug ] to Liverpool via New Orleans is twon ty-Beven cents per bushel , while ii New York it is forty-two and one-hal cents.

A Talk With a Nihilist Prince. Manchester Examiner. When Alexander II emancipate ! the serfs , the prince , then a youii { man , though he had large possessions w elcomed the measure with all the en thusiasm of youth , for his love of lib erty and sympathy , with hisoppressec fellow countrymen rendered him as in different to merely pecuniary consider ation as he was to the fancied inter ests of the order to which ho belong ed. But the czar influenced by evi advisers , and haunted by a forebodinj that if ho advanced further on the path of reform the fate that befql Louis X"VI would befall Mm , with drew his hand from the work he had begun. The press was agair muzzled , freedom of speech forbid den , and the agitation oi representative institutions and at amelioration of the lot of the peas ants , which at one time had been tac itly tolerated , if not openly encour aged , sternly suppressed. At one stroke reformers were converted intc conspirators. The prince , who hail taken an active part in the movement , and many others were arrested and cast into prison. After being kept in solitary confinement , without trial , for two and a half years , and so badly treated and fed that he became a vic tim to scurvy , from which ho still suf fers , he succeeded , with the help of his political friends , in making his escape. Shortly before this event , one of his brothers , in writing to a friend in London , liappened to mention the fact of the prince's im prisonment , and expressed a natural indignation at the treatment ho had received. This letter was opened at the postoffico and handed to the po lice , whereupon the brother was seized and without any sort of trial , was deported to Siberia. This was in 1875 , and he is in Siberia yet. After the prince got away , one of his sisters , who had visited him a few times in prison , was arrested on a charge of having connived it his escape , a charge un supported by the slightest shadow of proof. When her innocence had been established and acknowledged in private a friend of the family called an the chief of police to ask why she ivas not set at liberty. "That is un fortunately impossible,1' observed the man. "You ace wo told the cx.tr Hint the princess was an accomplice , and it reould not bo pleasant to have to tell ! iim we were mistaken. " So to save the credit of the police with the jmperor , the unfortunate lady was kept in prison. "At this moment , " said the prince , "there are thousands of men and ivomen perishing in Russian prisons uul wearing out their lives in Siberia moil" and w omen who have never been tried , whoso solo offense is ask ing for a little freedom , or who are simply suspected of holding liberal apinions. And that is not the worst. Look here ( laying on the table a group of photographic portraits , inscribed "fighters and martyrs' ) ; this is the likeness of a young man of 19. He ivas hanged for affixing a so-called revolutionary placard it only asked 'or a constitution - to a wall. , This one nras hanged for distributing revolution- try pamphlets. Hero is a portrait of a young girl 20 she was ; they sent her to Sibqra for a similar crime , and she lied there in prison. Imprisonment in Russia for a state offence is almost : ertain death. The allowance for food is lid. a day , and even a part of ; his is purloined by the officials. Af ter a. few months or a few years of mch treatment , according to the strength of their constitution , prison- srs dies of scurvy or dysentery. Do r-ou think people of education , or people ple who know right from wrong , people ple who are passionately yearning for t little freedom , will tamely submit to mch brutal tyranny as tliis , or that it 'ails to kindle in thousands of hearts L hatred that can only be extinguished n blood ? Violence betjets violence. Killed 'by a. Catapult. Elizabeth Power , known to circus- died in the ; oers as Elizabeth Devanc , tfew York hospital on Friday morning- She was 21 years old. On the after- loon of May 3 , in Wilkesbarre , in the ourse of the performance in Barnum's ircus , she was shot from a catapult , ihe turned in the air as she had beei ccustomed to do in the feat , but for ome reason she fell upon the netting i such a way as to wrench her neck.
