WITH the thermometer at ninety- eight in the shade and the political cauldron nt the boiling pjint , the thousand Iowa grangers assembled in DCS Moincs to nominate a state ticket will have a perspiring time of it.

TUB value of a wull-to-do English man has just boon settled by Greek brigands at 875,000 , and there isn't n western editor that doesn't consider himself worth more thun any two Englishmen who have over visited this section of the country. TUB labor market of this country seems to bo in nn unusually healthy condition. Notwithstanding the enor mous immigration , the Costlo Garden authorities announce Unit every np plicant tor work is at once supplied with a position and the applications fo'r labor exceed the supply. THK clearing house statements for lost week indicate that the business of the country is growing i\t a wonderful rate. The statistics show an increase over lost year , for the same time in every city which gives a report. The average rate of increase for twenty cities is C9.5 per cent. , and outside of New York 42.5 per cent It is still more gratifying to know that this in crease has boon constant during the whole of the present year. TUB charter of the Now York Central tral road prohibited passengers being charged more than two cents per mile. The company evades the law by mak ing up trains of palace cars upon which an extra one cent per mile is charged. In addition to this nmnifosl evasion of the law , the old dodge ol having' its bridges built by n separat company , nnd .a heavy toll charged for each passenger , is used to increase tko railroad faro to a mini twice as largo as that warranted by the luw.

HII I PROBLEMS OF THE GREAT \VEST. A Ncw England divine who has re cently been traveling through the far vest has returned to Massachusetts o sound the nlarm , over what ho con ceives to be the great danger to Amor * can institutions and the future lifd of the republic. This narrow gauged visconary sees in the rapid growth of ho new wcit and the peopling of western prairie states nnd mountain erritorics by foreign born immigrants , ho grave dangers that threatens our nation Ho does not believe that the \tit of the rebellion settled all our roubles and made us secure in our re * niblic , Now problems still more vast nro resented. Wo meet in the gre.it west the tremendous intluence of alien rncci nnd alien religions. Laplanders lave been drawn into Winnipeg , nnd. Swedes , Hollanders , Bohemians , Normans , Canadians , French nnd rish into Minnesota. Mormons in * ust Utah , Moxicnns inhabit Now Mexico , nnd Chinaman nro found svorywhoro on the Pacific coast , "hcso people , talking .alien languages professing nlicn religions , nro constantly reinforced from Suropo and Asia nnd the Now ngland minister imagines that these oreigncrs will noon become numerous inough to upiot our whole govern- nont. The Now England minister ihould coino back nnd optnd n few rears in the now west. Hi.i Yankee lotions about alien religions nnd nlicn ncos nro altogether too contracted. Ho docs not seem to comprehend that > ur system of government recognizes no standard of religion nnd : ho thirteenth , fourteenth and fif teenth nmondmctits to the national constitution have abolished nil politi cal distinctions on account of rnce or , > roviousconditinn. The inllux of for eign immigrants , instead of menacing : ho stability of our government , make it so much stronger. If native Amer icans bred in Now England had been compelled to fight out the battles of : ho Union , the slave holders rebellion would hnvo been a success and the southern confederacy would have become - como an established fact. Over 300,000 > f the Boldiers that helped to conquer the rebellion were of alien birth nnd creed and ; ho inllux of those aliens replenished .he nrteric.s of commerce exhausted by war. The idea that emigration of sturdy , thrifty industrous emigrants 'rom Europe are a menace to Amurl can liberty , could only emanate from a very contracted brain. How has it jocn in the past century ? Wore not ; ho ancestors of the Knickerbockers 'rom Holland , nnd the founders of Pennsylvania frsjn Germany ? 1)o not ho nrcut states ot Ohio , jidiann , Illinois nnd Missouri iwo their development largely to 'oreign immigration ? Doc any in- .olligent man imagine ( hat the colon- zatinii of certain sections of the fnr weal with foreign born people will for ever bar out of that section American naiiiiers and h.ibjta mul iupubliunn mnciplcs. HUB not the ( uponuncu of the past century demonstrated that .ho immediate ( loacoiuliuila of these aliens became thoroughly Anu'ncaii- izod oven during the lifetime of their parents ] Is not the great body of our pres ent native-American population made up of sons nnd daughters of Germans , Norwegians , Bohemians , Irishmen , Scotchmen and people of other nil- .ionalitiea ) Where then is the so- called problem that demands mil nt'urn at the hands of profound patriots irom Now England ? THE COMET. In several particulars 'the coinot which is now adorning the northern licavoiu is peculiar and different from its predecessors. It was seen wjth ; ho naked oyo. almost simultaneously , if not on the very night , that it was announced by profossio lal nstrono mors. Usually theoo wandering bodies whtch < move through the vast spaces of the univorsocomo slowly and gradually upon us. Scientists herald their approach. The telescope perceives - coivos thorn weeks before they can bo distinguished by the unaided vision. Their record is written out , their component olemcnts' calculated and everything else of an interesting nature turo and n great deal that is not at all interesting is published to the world a long time before the average person can see or himself what .they look like. The present coinot , has taken the astronomers as well us the public by surprise and bursta forth all an once without BO much as sending its scientific card before it. Another peculiarity of the present comet is the fact that it is making its journey like n crab , tail forward. This proceeding is characterized by astronomers generally ns most unusual and uncalled for. All previous comets have introduced thomsolvea in n legitimate manner head firut , and like Bo Poop' * aheop , "dragging their toils bohim them. " In the present instance , how ever , the visitor to our northern heavens is backing away from the BUI at an enormous speed , and shooting through space , toil first , with an ease and rapidity which. U entirely withou prccpdont , ' .Tho.cowot of 1881 ii tho. first'of al the comets which has permitted it icluro to bo taken. Several unsuc cessful attempts hare bcon mndo in imes past to fix by means > f the camera , the fleeting orms of these eccentric visitors to our kics but in every case the attempt been unsuccessful. On Sunday , lowover , Dr. Drap6r , of Now York ity , succeeded in taking nn excellent ( holograph of the starry wanderer , who will for nil time to como be pro- erved ns the first really well behaved omct observed by men of science. Little ii positively known about omots , although a great deal has been written about them , As to their final nd or purpose in the economy of Na- uro wo are profoundly ignorant , 'hat they have regular orbits , and re- ppcnr nftor the lapse of definite po- iods , may bo considered ns pretty well stnblishcd. Some have imagined hem to bo the wandering ghosts of .cad worlds , while others regard them is nebulous masses , out of which now worlds are to bo evolved. There is 10 reason for attributing anything of an occult or mystical quality to com- otn , but while wo all agree that reck- > ning them in the category of the pro- ornatural and miraculous would bo n iilly piece of superstition unworthy of lansiblo men , it is not a stretch of credibility to admit that the laws vhich govern their movements may iclong to a different order from those which control the bodies belonging to jur immediate solar system. But .hoy cannob bo considered as unknow able because they are uarts of the naterial universe. For this reason they are not , and never can bo mys- .erics , properly speaking. .It is true that wo know comparatively nothing about them now , but at some future day they may bo as well understood as hundreds of other n.ilur.al objects ire that wore once unsolved and ap parently insoluble enigmas. PKOIIADIA- the worst political mis take which Gen. Grant has made in ill his numerous interviews regarding the Conkling-Garfiold controversy was Ins denial that ho used his appointing ; ) owcr as president contrary to the expressed wishes of the senators. Note : o speak of the notorious Simmons' ' case in Boston , when the protests of Sumner ai\d the entire Massachusetts' delegation were entirely disregarded , it now appears that McDonald , the St. LOUM whiskey thief , was made supervisor of internal revenue at St. Louis against the determined opposition of Carl Schurz and Senator Drake , both of whom were then on very friendly terms with the Presi dent. Both Senators Schurz and Drake objected to the appointment ns one utterly unfit to bo made , yet Me Donald was appointed against their protest , notwithstanding , on the Oth of October , 18(5 ( ! ) , and afterwards con irmod. The proof of Senator Drake's objection , nnd of its being known to the President , is contained in the fol lowing letter "TllEAHUKV Dtl'AIlEMENT , ) OITICE OF INTKHNAL REVENUE , > WAHHINOTON , Sept. t ) , 18GU. ) "To President Grant : Sm : General John Me Donald presents excellent rccommon lutions for supervisor of Missouri , vice Mr. Mark , the incumbent. Ho pro- [ xjHes to see you und present his [ upore. Judging from what I know f Air. McDonald , an well as from his iiidornoiiients , I presume ho will make nn ( 'indent ollicer. Senator Drake n atrouously Marr's retention and I ( liiililu ) , in view of thin fact , to make a change without your approbation mil advice. I um , very sincerely , etc. , C. DELANO. Mr. Schuns objection is shown by the following letter , which followed a telegram 1 begging that McDonald's commission should bo withhold : "S-r. Louis , October ? , 1809. "Tho Hon. George S. Boutwoll , Secretary rotary of the Treasury , Washington. "Sin Wo have to-day learned by the telegrams of our daily papers , that John McDonald , of this place , lias been appointed supervisor of in ternal revenue , and assigned for duty to this district. Wo bog leave to as sure''you that the reputation of this man and his associates are such that ! io can bring no moral support to the government in the enforcement of in ternal revenue laws , and that it is quite certain that his qualifications , natural or acquired , are eucli ns to render the npK ) > intmont nn unfit ono to be made. Wo believe thnt by his being placed in BO important nn ollico the collection of the revenue will bo retarded , unil the combinations which have hereto fore existed against the government will bo re-established. 0.

Finkelnburg , republican mem bers of congress in Missouri , and b > Collector Ford. Notwithstanding this urgent protest from both senators , General Grant appointed McDonnlt and took the whole patronage ol Missouri into his'own hands. It is , to say the least , the height of bad taste for him to criticise President Garfield , under such circumstances , for his action in the Robertson case. WHAT has become of the propose i sewers for which 8100,000 was voted by the citizens 01 Omaha this spring We have no desire to see a dollar o : this money squandered but we express the sentiment of a largo majority ol tko people of this city when wo s that souio thing decisive should be doui ibout these sewers without much further delay. Whether work on the iroposod NortK Omaha Bower is bon - n this season or not , the South Jhmxha sewer should be extended and completed as far as Eighth street as teen na possible'nnd unless this is done pocdily the city will have to rebuild lalf n doton bridges and the money 'or thorn will bo virtually thrown away. These bridges even when in lassablo condition , nro a constant ob struction to tram'o and the risk of ac cidents and consequent suits for dam- ago. - = = = - A GOOD point is mndo by the Chicn- co Times against Mr. Conk-ling's anti- nonopoly pretensions in the following extract : The fitness of Mr. Conkling to play lis new role of champion anti-monop- jlist was rather clearly shown nt Al- > any , last Thursday , by n witness inmed Tillinghast , who gave some un- mportant testimony in the bribery : nrco. Being a railroad man , the witness was asked if Mr. Dopew was lot nn attorney for the Now York cntral railway company. The answer wns : "Yes , sir. " Q. "Do you know my other candidate for senator who iias ncted as counsel or attorney1 for .hat corporation ? " A. "Yes , sir. " Q. "Who is ho ? " A. "Roscoo inkling. " Q. "Any other ? " A. \o , sir ; Mr. Platt is nn ollicer of the Southern Central. " An "nnti-monopoly party" in Now York , organi/.ed and directed by rail road attorneys and officials , would , no loubt. bo hailed with satisfaction by .ho railroad attorney who is ambitious ; o be an ' 'anti-monopoly" senator ; rom Iowa. ' THE St. Louis people , and especial [ y the railroads , who have boon using the bridge , lately purchased hy Jay Gould , are becoming exercised over the pos.sihle use to which ho may put : iis now property. It is feared thnt the great stock jobber may squeeze all the other lines using the structure in order to benefit the Wnbash , and thus decrease their revenue ! while adding to his own enormous accumulations. Gould knows how to put the screws on , nnd no ono appreciates that fact better than n railroad manager. THE battle of corporations in the Now Hampshire legislature has begun in earnest , according to the Concord ATom'tor , which thinks the question of monopoly and nnti-monopoly is safe in the hands of the people as final ar biters. The issue is contained in the proposition for a general railroad law. Monopolies and Corruption. Lincoln Globe , The danger of our times is monopo ly. It ia a conspiracy of the rich against the poor. Corporations and wealthy men combine their capital , or , as they term it , "pool their money , " and get control of something which is a great common want it may bo rail roads , or telephones , or teed , or coal , or petroleum it is no matter what the thine ; is it is something which must bo had by the public. The com bination spends its money lavishly to ruin all its competitors , nnd then , as a monopoly , scourges the public nnd levies taxes uuon the wants of man kind , which no government in Europe would dare to propose. Lot the people take a lesson from these mon. The secret of their suc cess in their conspiracy against the masses in combination. They know precisely what they wish to accom plish , and they act as a unit. Then concentrate their efforts to obtain control of legislative bodies and of courts. They purchase in various ways prominent men suitable for their use. Some are sold at the low price of a "free pass , " others cost more. The transaction puts on the thin disguise of being "counsel foes , " or money for "election " "discrimina purposes , or tions , " "rebates , " etc. , etc. When the man has boon bought he is not re quired to put on the regulation dresser or .wear a bndgOj but ho goes to the ' polls'.ig straight republican' doino crat , and canvasses for votes to represent sent the people , , . In a legislative body , /or' on the bench , this man .belongs to his master , and gees there as his secret agent. Ho , .vras purchased to protect nnd for tify the corporations , and mako.tlioru ihdopondont of the people. * Ho is usually a mm of .marked ability , for the corporations buy those who car servo them best. The legislatures am ] courts are the citadels of our govern ment. If the corporations have garri soned these forts the people can change the garrison , and if they fail to do it tloy | nro unfit for solf-govofnment. STATE JOTTINGS. Rule has'810 inhabitants.

European Opinions of Amorlcn. t'lenna Fatliorliml It is feared that the rapid progress of America will roach still more as tounding proportions , greatly to the detriment of European interests , rhonovor , as it is onovitablo , a long nid disastrous war shall break out in hat country. Europe will then bo obliged to buy moro food from Amori- : a , and to pay much higher prices , han she does at present , while on ho other hand she will produce less. She will also bo compelled to purchase > thor things besides food from the Jnitcd States , military stores espe cially , just aa Turkey already buys a rcat many American cartridges. Our oady money will then pour into America. Our agricultural and indus trial products , our manufactories and > ur land , our capital and government Donds will bo worthless ; even the best railroad nnd mining interests will bo depressed. A general impoverishment of our country will take place , and emigration from those sections which nay have escaped war will bo very ; rcat. The comparison should not bo taken inkindly , but the Europeans are dos- ; incd to meet at the hands of the Americans the same fate which has pursued the Indians , who separated nto a great many tribes , each ono liaving just as teed reasons for do- : laring war against the other as have : ho different nations of Europe. No doubt the councils of war held by the Hurons , the Mohicans and other Bribes around their blazing fires in the , vild forests , when they deliberated iow they could best kill and annihi late their hated enemies , brought to i"ht wisdom as profound as that ivhich wo employ in diplomatic con ference. Europe has heretofore recovered From the paralyzing effects of war , bo- : auso she has been able to findn mar ket in the other four continents for lier high priced products. But after the next war she will find these mar kets stocked with American goods , and will never again bo able to monp- lizo their trade , na American manu factures at that time will bo so much improved that the United States can adopt , without fear of competition , the free-trado policy. Then will America rule the world ! tAs long as Europe was without a rival ill a progressive country she would indulge with impunity in mur- lorous wars , and could keep up these barbaric customs. If America had jrown up into belligerent States , like those of South America , whore Chili and Peru have so lately been waging war with each other , its development would liavo been retarded for many years. But the United States have not made war at all , except a very in significant one against Mexico. They liave to bo sure , crushed an insurrec tion , but , at the same vime , as wo sco it demonstrated every day , they have ilmoat annihilated the oppos ing party , and have divested them of their power forever , by the exercise of true republicanism and wise government. There no longer exists a faction which would like to 300 the United States overthrown. The people are the stronghold of the country. And how can any peace , liappinoss or prosjjority como to Eur ope whore there is hardly one-third of the natural wealth of America , but aix times more population to support and two millions of idle soldiers to Feed , who suck up the life-blood of the nation , while hero there are only twenty-seven thousand.
