The charge of State Senator Strahan of Now York , that the marahalship was promised him on behalf of General < oral Oarfiold , conditional upon his do Bortion of Mr. Colliding , calls fortl from President Qarflolda vigorous do nial. The president declares that no one was authorized to promise ap pointmeiits for him or threaten remo vals ; that in making appointments to office at all times ho proposed to use 'his own judgment , and not to bo die tatod to by any man ; and that his appointments pointmonts would always bo nmdo first , with a view to the public good and second , as to the capacity one character of the applicant.

Now that the barge convention has finished its fittings and the members have returned to their homes , it will perhaps bo well to consider just what boa been accomplished by the session just concluded in Council Bluffs. A number of excellent speeches were made by the delegates in attendance and by the distinguished visitors from abroad. It will scarcely Ixs denied that many imnortnnt facU and figures were brought forward to irovo the importance portanco of river improvement and the necessity of cheaper transportation for the product * of the Missouri valley , while the resolutions passed by the convention were forcible , and voiced the wishes of this entire section of the country. What immediate influence , however over , is the Council 1)lulls ) convention ikoly to have upon cheap transporta tion ? This is the important question which the producers of Nobrasna , lown , and Kansas would do well to consider- Granted that the rocom motidations of the convention receive the attention and support of the na tional congress , and that the needed appropriation of 98,000,000 will bo forthcoming , how long will t bo before the river becomes perfect ly adapted to the necessities of com merce and an unfailing competition with the railroads for the "products of ho grainoricfl of the west ? Will roso- utions reduce railroad tariff or rcc- immondations [ to congress curb the nsitiatu greed of the monopolies ? Is t not necessary to use other efforts to rotoct the people uutil such time as a full and free competition by water becomes operative ? We hoar a great deal oven from the monopoly organs the great benefits which will accrue to our farmers from ho coming barge lines. Wo are as- mrod that they alone will provide the rue chuck to the evils of corporation oppression and extortion. But it will lot do for our fanners to defer action upon the great question of the hour until a tardy survey of our river 1ms eon followed by a still more tardy caponing of its channel and .trongthcning . of its banks. The monopoly advocates would gladly di- ort attention from all anti-monopoly oqislation by loud huzzas for the , vator route and the barge linos. None no is inclined tto underestimate the great and paramount importance of Jicso enterprises. Certainly not TIIK : li'K. But while the people will ro * oico at every stop forward toward a 'rue and open river , which shall carry heir products kto the seaboard , they nust not Hag in their determination Lo curb and regulate the extortions nd abuses of the monopolies which , ro robbing our farmers and 'mer chants to increase their ill-gottei gains. , Cheap transportation , jis 'he greatest need of the west and the demand for lower freight rates must tot wait upon the opening of the Mis- ouri to a fleet of barges which may ako years before it becomes an actu ality. The state , which is the people , possesses within itself the means to > btain this 'much to bo desired end and it should permit nothing to dirert t from carrying out its determination o remedy existing abuses and secure in advancofbf the barges themselves , cheap transportation for the producers : > f the Missouri valloy. HOW IT WORKS. The manifest injustice of the Doano tub law to the state of No- aroska is becoming more and more up parent as time progresses. In some localities its pernicious effects were felt from the start , in others not till a later date , but it in when the current year's products boain to move that this mischievous legislation will bo inoro generally and moro seriously noticed. Then it will come homo to many who now do not fool t. Itepub lican , "Tho manifest injustice- the Doano tub law , " lies entirely in its application by the railroads to the conduct of their business. Whim the question off railroad regulation , which , wes expressly commanded by the con siituUon of' 'Nebraska , came before the members of the lust legislature , there were two courses only for the leg islature to pursue. Ono of these waste to pass a so-called "Granger' law lix- ing tariff rates on all articles and prohibiting any deviation from those rates under heavy penalties. The other was to obey the mandate of the constitution byprohibiting hit dis criminations between shippers of the same clnss cf goods for the same din tancu and in the BUIIIO quantities and leaving the equalization and adjust ment of specific rates to the railroads themselves. Several bills were in troduced by advocates of both of these positions. Tlio JouBon bill whicl : wont to greater extremes than the present laws and placed. corpor ations' t under T > "severe restric tions in the conduct of their business , was bitterly antagonized by the roads who had previously smothered several other bills in thu committee rooms and by the strong pressure of their lobby and ( the exertions tions of ( Lieutenant Governor Carus in packing the uenato committee ; had forced the appointment of a spec ial railroad committee in the senate o ! whom Mr , Goo. W. Doano was a mom her , It soon become evident that an measure which had for its object radical and sweeping reform of the methods of railroad misiiianagemon in this state would fail of passage , The power of the monopolies , who had pooled their interests to concon rate all their energies in opposition to the anti-railroad element , made itself felt oven among members of the legislature who were pledged to vote for n measure which would assort the power of the people over the corporations. After a long consultation of the railroad managers it was determined to kill every other bill but the Doano law. The Doano law was admitted to bo the most lib * cr.il in its provisions which had been offered for passage , and the corpora tions saw in the wide latitude which it offered to their managers ntnplo op portunity to show in a still greater degree the power of monopolies throughout the state. It was only as a compromise , which was vigorously opposed by the rank nnd file of the nnti-monopoly forces , that the Doano bill became a law. Such corporation cnppors ns Church Howe nnd a number of pro fessed anti-monopolists who were really acting with the corporations , aided in securing its passage. These members of the legislature who saw that no other measure could become a law , and who felt it incumbent to plant thomiolvos squarely on the record as fulfilling their sworn oath , also voted for the Doano law as the best attainable under the circum- tanccs. The Doano law fixed no rates. It simply provided that they should be no higher than the published tariffs of ho roads at the time of ita passage. t decreed that every shipper of the same class of goods should bo treated alike , and no greater sum should ho charged for a shorter than for a ongor distance. These plain and equitable boundaries , within which .ho railroads might operate , were laid down in order to afford the corpora- ions full latitude and ample time in which to accommodate themselves to ho changed order of affairs. t was loft entirely to lie railroads how they would pply the bill , whether to the do tri- nont of the people or in the spirit of he law to the mutual advantage of lie corporations nnd patrons. The Doano law provided that no ipocinl rates should bo given to ship- ors , nnd that rates to local stations ihould not bo greater than to points loyond. This provision called for u immediate equalization of the tar- ff , owing to the past policy of the : orporations in charging greater rates or mile for local traflic than for hrough freight. The law hi- istcd that the rate from Omaha 'to Fremont should not bo greater than that from Omaha to Ikborn or Valley , or that from Lin coln to Crete greater than from Lin coln to Hastings. To obey the man date of the law two courses'woro open o the railroads , to lower local rates n the basis of the through tariff or to raise the through rates proportionately .o the local tariff. By the first of these plans n general reduction in rates would have ensued and the evi dent intention of the law carried out ; by the latter , tariff rates would bo gen erally increased nnd the law turned to the great disadvantage of the public. The railroads have seen fit to follow the latter course , and the present exorbitant - orbitant local rates have boon extend ed in their operation to all points in the state. Cities which heretofore have obtained their freight at rate * when compared with smaller towns , villages and way stations , are now. forced , under the railroad application of tha law , to pay largely increased freight charges over the former figures. Instead of lowering local rates , through rates have boon raised and the very liberality of the law has been taken advantage of to make I" the measure odious , and to raise the cry that all anti-monopoly agitation must bojio loss injurious to the people plo than to the corporations. Monopoly ely organs like the Jttpulliean cheek ily toll us that the Doano law is crip pling Nebraska's interests , ruining horjimlustrius nnd raising the price of groceries and provisions , while the monopolies , these disinterested bene factors of the people , regretfully con template the disastrous work of an anti-monopolv legislature. This is the sheerest bosh. The Doano law contains within itself remedy for all the existing ovils. Proper application of its provision ! to the operation of the railroads would result in the sure abatement of the evils which alllict Nebraska pro ducers. If such is not the result , and the manifest intention of the law is not carried into effect , the people wil ! know at whoso doors to lay the blame , Other laws will bo passed which wil ! afford no loophole for escape. Rates will bo fixed by legislative tmactmont and not left to the discretion of the monopolies. All the chatter and groanings of the monopoly organs and all the hypocritical pretensions of monopoly managers will fail to blind the pooplt of Nebraska respecting the real condi tion of affairs. Another legislature will bo less lenient. The course ol the monopolies in violating thu law while pretending to acquiesce in ita provisions , will only hasten the day when railroads in Nebraska will be compelled to conduct their business with A regard for the interests of Ne braska producers , and when railroad tariffs will ho regulated by A law whoso provisions cannot bo shirked or eva ded. AN IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. The subject of an Imperial parlia ment for Great Britain in which every colony while enjoying self govern ment shall have ft representation , to discusn measures of common interest , is attracting considerable attention. In its present form , as haa been well said , [ iho English parliament roore- sonts , not BO much the people of Eng land , as [ customs , traditions , vested rights , small monopolies and largo landed interests. A true parliament , representing the English speaking world would bo an imposing body. It would represent all English countries and colonies upon the American prin ciple of representation and would af ford independence to the separate countries in all that pertains to home rule , while it would also furnish all the advantages of a union of imperial interests. The topic is particularly interesting in its relation to the condition of Ire land nt the present time. Indepen dence is the ultimata aim of the land league , and the hope for his country of every Irishman , Ireland will never be satisfied until she hni homo rule and a national parliament meeting in Dublin. Most of the prominent leaders of Irish opinion are said to bo earnest ly in favor of the adoption of the plan , Parnoll , Dillon and other loaders have boon privately discussing the plan , but had some idea of postponing an earnest agitation of the subject until 1883 , the centennial anniversary of the old Irish parliament. Justin Mc Carthy is enthusiastic in his support of the project , and thinks that no better time than the present could bo found to urge tha idea of a national and imperial parliament. P'Donnoll says that in his opinion a just and honorable confederation would insure self-government to Ire land , and with the passage of the land bill restore prosperity to the country. Even the extreme nation alists are inclined to look upon the plan with favor because , under such a' ' system , Ireland would enjoy homo rule and practical independence. Many Irishmen would prefer it to ab solute independence , because , while it could guarantee homo rule to the fullest eitcnt , it would afford n wide scope to the intellectual classes , by permitting them to take part in the good government of a vast empire. Mr. McCarthy says the scheme would odn strengthen and consolidate'the impiro , which , in the case of war with any ' strong maritime power , would un dergo a great strain. Ho considers .hat public opinion in England is becoming - coming moro favorable to some solu tion looking to the release of parlia ment from the work of local legisla tion. "Tho Now York Herald lias been urging this view of the case with a great 'deal of vigor and ability. In a recent editorial it remarks : The English Parliament at pres ent is simply an unwieldy body legis lating on British local affairs and wasting its own time and the time of the country by discussing trivial af fairs for Ireland , Scotland and Wales , instead . of being a body representing the Empire and dealing with the grander questions belonging to it as a great European and imperial power. England's power to-day is paralyzed , and her influence in Europe is nulli fied by the Irish discontent , and she is quite incapable of as sorting her dearest interests BO , long as Ireland remains hostile. Examples enough can bo quoted of wrong hoadcdnoss in other countries. Austria's weakness in the Italio-Prus- aian campaign was in Hungary's disaf fection , and Francis Joseph apprecia ted too late the truth of Franz Deak's assertion ; "Forced unity will never make an empire strong. The empire would bo weakest at the moment when it would bu in want of its united strength and the full enthusiam of its peoplo. If , therefore , yo'ur majesty wishes your empire to bo frco and really - ally strong , your majesty can not at tain that object by a compulsory unity but by a mutual understanding arrived at through the free consent of the na tion. " 1'iiK current rumors respecting com ing changes in the management of the Union Pacific and which were alludwd to Boino weeks since by THK Bun seem to have boon verified. The Chicago - cage InttT'Ocean of Wednesday says : It has finally been settled that Mr. S. H , H. Clark , the general manager of the Union Pacific [ road , will sever his connection with the company in order to assume complete control of all the southwestern roads owned by Mr. Gould. The conclusions in this matter were arrived at yesterday. For soiuo time there was aomo differ ence of opinion as to where Mr , Clark's office was tg bo , and a compromise was effected and it was decided that it should be nomi nally in St , Louis but practically in Now York. Mr. Clark will divide his time between Now York and thu southwestern territory , where the roads in question are being built. Ho will have an office in St. Louis , but very little business will bo transacted there. Mr. Clark will , no doubt , find this now office an agreeable one , oa far as the recuperation of his health is concerned , for the work will not bo as confining as that required of him in Omaha. Ho will hereafter occupy a position that will not bo excelled in prominence by ny in the country. Mr. Clark is peculiarly fitted for the work ho is about to undertake , nnd it is a question whether Mr. Gould could have found A lx > ttor man for the DOS Hi on. His rise in the railway world has been gradual , but marked and interesting. Beginning ns'an ob- ecuro brakcman on A small road , ho developed into A prominence that allowed him to make the Union Pa cific road what it is to-day. Mr. Kimball , who has also risen from the bottom of the ladder , will succeed Mn Clark as general man ager of the road , a position which ho will fill with credit and honor. The position of assistant general manager of the road will remain vacant for the present , it is said , but it is believed that Mr. E. P. Vining , the concral freight agent of the road will soon succeed to the position now occurred by _ Mr. Kimball. These and several minor changes will no into effect July 1st. BRPORR another decade has passed , England and Franco will in all proba bility bo joined by a tunnel under the English channel , Experimental shafts lave boon sunk on either side , by the English and the French committees respectively , and on cither side an ex perimental gallery also driven , As a result , it is boliovcd that after heati ngs of n mile in length are driven on on cither side , as is proposed , the re maining nine miles from either coast can bo completed within five years. The English and the French minors would then moot in mid-channel. The lower strata throngh which the tunnel must bo drilled is found to bo very favorable , and impervious to water. A LAKOE portion of Tombstone , Arizona , was destroyed yesterday by fire. All comments on this informa tion must bo made from the old ver sion of thu New Testament , Stable Railroad Tariff- Denver Tribune , It is more important to the mer cantile community that railroad tariffs bo permanent than that they be "ow. The burden of high rates falls on consumers and the merchants dd not feel it half as much ns they imagine they do. When freights decline the selling price of goods comes down with them. Of course merchants are ntercstpd in a general way in the prosperity of the people , and this is promoted by low rates. But the mirtediato profits of the dealer are not oriously circumscribed by costly rioghts. When wo had to pay several imos our present rail rates for wagon ransportation Denver merchants made as much profit , upon a given capital , as they do now. "When rail rates are lialf what they 'aru at present in dividual merchants will not make anymore moro money But what injures commerce and en slaves all business men to the railroad power is the changing of rates When the merchants of a city have strained their credit to lay in largo wholesale stucks , they are liable to sudden ruin by an unexpected reduction of rates before they can sell out. Favorites of the corporations can often make largo sums of money by an advance in the rate of some article , of which they have obtained a heavy supply. It is true that these changes have not often been used to the serious detriment of our merchants , but the arbitrary pow er of the railroad managers to'make them is undisputed , and those who are damaged have ho relief at law with such a grip upon the business commu nities of the whole country , the abso lute supremacy of the railroad inter ests is only a question of a very short time. And when the roads cease to fear the grangers there is danger that will become very oppressive. A business man who fights the rail roads can bo ruined any time they see fit to put forth their power to crush him. Everybody knows this to bo truo. In fact wo are rapidly drifting to a pass whore commerce is a sort of on appendage to the roads. Many a merchant's success depends wholly upon his basking in the favor of some railroad manager. The corporations have essentially the same control overlarge large numbers of business men that they havoj ovotf then own employes. The argument that freighting is a marketable commodity , and must ad vance and decline under the law of de mand and supply , is a strong one. From it comes the right wo concede to the rpuds to control our fortunes by changing their rates at pleasure. But it is a serious question whether it would not bo better for us all if the rates of every road in the land had to bo fixed after several months' notice , and then remain unchanged for a year at a timo. Some inconvenience would result at times , but the stability and certainty of constant carrying prices would far overbalance them all. A vast deal of demoralizing favoritism would bo suppressed , and the mercantile classes would bo libera ted from a species of intimidation that amounts to oppression. Jay Gonld- From the Rochester Democrat This wonderful man continues to enlarge his operations , and Yonder- bilt finds him an advancing and rest less rival. The latter went to Europe , as it was supposed , to ayoid testifying in the telegraph cose , but , as the law yers adjourned it , was eventually ob liged to appear in court. Ho now finds that Gould's now route to * the Great West ( via Now Jersey Central and Wabash ) threatens to be come the most dangerous .oppo sition of what are called the Yonder- bilt stocks. Gould's schemes aru laid with such depth and precision that they at once awaken admiration. Ho is certainly the most wondprful rail road operator in the world. Look' at this last combination and its origin. Throe years ago ho saw NOW Jersey Contra ! and Wabasji , selling at a mere aong. The former was quoted at 8 and the latter at 2. Ho at once saw that they might be connected and form a trunk line , and hence ho bought the stock of each until ho became - came its master. As the W aba all connects with St. Louis , it became important to converge the pro duct of the West on that point. To do this requires a mastery of the Iowa roads , Which ho also acquired. The result is that St. Loots , instead of Chicago , may yet become a great groin depot , and the latter must , in that CMO , ftuffor an immcnso loss of trmln. To connect the Wabash with the Now Jotnoy Central A line must bo built from Scrnnton to Duffnlo , and thN i already surveyed and put un der ronlinct. In this manner two once worlhloM roads nro made im- monsoljvalunblo , and Gould makes 8l3,000OtX ! ) . As the VAntlerbilt lines terminate in Chicago , Gould's new trunk line ni.-vy strike them a severe blow. Ho will iimko every effort to Imvo thv grain trade , and his success I * almost assured by the fact that his lown njiitoin enables shippers to save 3 cents a bushel. Yauaorbilt feels the thorn in his Mdo , but what can ho do ? Ho is in the hands of n bitter and relentless rival , whoso genius is truly Napoleonic. Gould has long been duterminod to bring down the grandeur of the Yandorbilt dynasty , and it now looks as though his pur pose might bo successful. Should ho live five years longer what a revolu tion in railway matters will bo accom plished. S. H. H. Clark' . Now Position. Chicago Tribune. Mr. Sidney Dillon , president of the Union Pacific railway , arrived in town yesterday on his way to Omaha. Ho was joined hero by Mr. S. H. II. Clark , general manager , and Thomas L. Kiniball , assistant general manager of the Union Pacific , who will go to Omaha with him to-day. The three gentleman had a conference at the Grand Pacific hotel yesterday after noon. It is understood that the sub ject under consideration was the con templated resignation of Mr. S. II. II. Clark as general manager of the Union Pacific and the appointment of Mr. Kimball to his place. It has heretofore been stated in the Tribune that Mr. S. II. H. Clark is to bo appointed uenoral manager of all the southwestern lines controlled by Jay Gould. There can bo but little doubt that this report is correct , and the only question is whether Mr. Clark's headquarters will bo at St. Louis or Now York. Mr. Gould has the highest opinion of Mr. Clark's Abilities as a railroad manager , and values his advice moro than those oi any other man in the country. It is therefore not surprising that Mr. Gould should desire to have Mr. Clark with him in the management of his great southwestern system , to de velop which ho is making the greatest effort. The Union Pacific under the management of Mr. Kimball will be as ably handled as if Mr. Clark re mained in charge , and besides , Mr. Gould docs not now take the same in terest in the Union Pacific that ho docs in his southwestern lines.
