THU BARGES AND CHEAP
TRANSPORTATION.
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

and it should permit nothing to dirert

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.

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.
