BIIA , AND TUB
. t ' LORDS. ,
The grave parliamentary crisis
which seemed imminent on account of
the refusal of the house of lords to
yield to tlio commons on the question
of the Irish Lnlid Hill , has been
averted. Our 6nblo dispatches announce -
nounco that ns the result of ( ho nego
tiations 1)otwcon ) the government nnd
the opposition Lord Salisbury will nc-
cept the bill nn amended , and should
no further complications arise its immediate -
mediate passage by the peers is cer-
tain.
tain.Tho
The history of the conflict botwccn
the commons and the peers on this all
impottntit issue is intorcsling ns illus
trating the power of the commons to
enforce the popular will. It is little
moro tlmn two weeks ginco the Irish
Land Dill , which for seven months
had been under discussion in the lower
house , waa nont to the house of lords
for their approval. The peers , under
the leadership of ouch heavy land
owners as the Duke of Arpylo and the
Mnrquis of Salisbury , mutilated the
bill without stint , and by skillfully
inserted amendments framed in the
interest of the landlords sought to
destroy the oflbctivenoRS the
proposed reform measure. The
bill was recommitted to the
house of commons , which , by a largo
majority , supported the government ,
refused to exempt from tho'OpointionB '
of thu bill any portion , of the island ,
rcnflirmcd thf principles of the origi
nal measure and returned it again to
tlio house of lords for their npprovnl.
The firm aland oftho house of com
mons waa mot bj obslinnc on the
part of the pecra oiid a political crisis

cniiou uiu prininig presn 11110 requisi
tion nnd Hooded the boroti hu with
tons of political documents , directing
attention to the fact that the work of
a whole session of the people's ropro-
sonlativus had , boon jeopar
dized by an ' .irresponsible body
called the house of lords ,
Even John Lrig/it / ( buckled on'this
armor and in a Borica of letters in-
tended for publication assailed the
house of Jords with all the bitterness
nnd energy of his younger dajs. Mr.
Gladstone announced his intention , in
case of the failure of the bill , to re
convene parliament in tho'nutumnaud '
being in n measure stronger tlmn the
present accompanied by a radical re
form of the English land laws , iho re
distribution of seats in parliament and' '
possibly a reform in the house of lords
itself. ' Tlio government was backed
by the sentiment of a largo majority
of English voters the approval of the
ablest pixrlinmc'itaryiloadors ' nnd tho' '
support of the leading jburnnls of the
metropolis , , i
The tremendous pressure of public
opinion waa more than'thopoora could
withstand. The oft repeated asser
tion that the power of the poora would
fail if It made a firm stand ngninst the
willJoF poopld , , although not
pro light to uptho test , was
aniply sustained ? At thejconiinittoo )
of conference , two" minor amendments
were granted Jo the lords by the com
mons arid the oppositions retired from
their positions. ; .under cover of nn
apology for n compromise. By so do :
ing they hnvo probably reserved to
themselves , for u time nt least , the
rights and privileges with which Eng
lish conservatism has permitted them
to be invested.
Still , the discussion which the con
troversy has aroused will in the end
work enormous Injury to the power
nnd prestige of the upper house. Thu
house of lords is a survival of nbso-
pioiinrchy , whoso voice gu\tv/ \
discordantly upon the ear of the intel
ligent .English voter of to-day. As
long as the system ot intlen boroughs'
nnda contracted franchise was ni op ' !
eration , the voice of the people was
largely the voice of the lords , th
thogjoat reform measure of 18II5 , ud
the extension of the franchise , a prac
tical revolution took place ill Eng
land's political system. The house of
commoiiH became almost repnb-
licaji in character and the
functions' of parliament bo-
became still further centralized in ( ho
house qf commons. Radicalism ed

disfavor upon the veto upon legisla
tion passed by the house of lords ,

condition of society and politics which
me not in accordance with English
political or social sentiment of the
present day. English consorvjitfsin
has heretofore repressed any move
ment looking to the abolition of the
upper house , but even English con-
Bcrvntmn will not admit of too much
trilling. A few
more such exhibitions *
of defiance to the

THE ALLIANCE IN POLITICS.
. The Impending fall campaign ] ins
brought the proposed ort'nni/Alion of
nn . independent political party on the
platform adopted by the farmers' nl-
iinnto j prominently to the front. In
seine counties of the state the mem
bers of the nlliancc have already called
conventions to put candidates in
nomination for county ollicf.i nnd in
others the proposed How departure is
being actively discussed. ,
The folloiviiiit Address of the pres
ident and secretary 6f the Nebraska
state farmers' alliance com
mends itself t every member
of the alliance and anti-monopolists
generally , ns well considered , timely
and sound.
In common with these gentlemen
wo ' are of the opinion that the attempt
to organize an independent political
party in Nebraska is premature. There
are , however , exceptions in some localities <
calitios which demand prompt inde
pendent . fiction. In some counties the
p.ot
entire party machinery is in the hands
otol
oln corrupt jobbers nnd local rings that
net in collusion with the monopolies.
Primary elections and conventions nro
packed nnd nominations made to per
petuate the power of monopolies nnd
their alligs. . Wherever such a state
of facts does exist the farmeia whotii-
01 members of the allinnco or not
,
should band together and elect hori

To the Subordinate Alliances of tht
State.
The practical question presentee
to the alliances of the state , and noV
beim ; coiisidcrcd by largo numbers o
of ihi'm , is this : How can wo apply
our strength RO as to best promote the
interests of the state , nnd secure the
election of the largest number of our
friends this fall ? Whether this cai
bcsl bo done by intluoncing the nctioi
-parties [ asal prcaont constituted , or
by forming new' organizations , is a
question 1 of vitnl importinco to thcso
interests , mid involves our success or
failure in the present year , and proba
In anving ) this problem we shoul
consider the character of our Btrongtl
and the obstacles wo have to encoun
tor. Our membership is made up o
about nn average of Iho members o
all political parties. We are. fonnc <
as n non-partisan organization , nimin ,
at united political' action upon thos
points only in which our interests nr
identified , nnd our partisan prejudice
do not conflict. Consistent con
fonnity to this principle involveH th
.duty of n vigilant supervision of th
primaries of the old parties , nnd th
choosing as delegates to their convoi
tious of men who are devoted to ou
principles. It also involvup the ndop
tion of Bound anti-monopoly views
their platforms and the noininatio
of candiilates who will to the extent
of their ability carry out those viows.
With our present strength tlio
above plan ia portcctly practicable in
a largo number of the counties of thu
state.
The other method involves the at t
tempt to form not one new jwrtys but
a largo number of now parties , whoso
platforms would bo variously eoloied
according to the local proclivities id3f
the dillorcntcounties mul which would
lack the coherence to be derived from
a state organization nnd would ini
, encounter -
counter other obstacles from which :
tlio first plan Is free.
Almost the strongest tie voluntarily
assumed by men , is Iho party tie.
This may seem unreasonable , but it is
true ; and it is the part of wisdom to
take facts an they are rather than as
wo.hink } they should bt , Uy attack
ing this tie we will inevitably nlieimto
n largo portion of our strength. [ ton
every county where wo attempt to
form a DOW pavly , the dominant party
will charge us with being the tail of
the weaker one ; and hmvovor unjust
the chaigo , it is impossible to dofenil
ourselves tig.tinst it. Thu weaker
pnity seeks to absorb or allllliato with
new party organization1. ! Tlio charge
would bo pressed has , in fact , in
60D10 puses , already been pressed
and would invariably alienate from
us large numbers of persons who from '
the liabit of many years have become
devoted to their party name. As i n
third party wo would have little
chance of success. As an element
combined with the minority party MO
would have still less. As success is
of vastly more impoitance to us than
any party name , it would BOCUI as
though the direction of our ell'orts
to that end through existing ngoneius
would commend itself to our mention ,
We nro not advocating devotion to
old parties. . Wo nro simply recom n
mending that \\o avail ourselves ol
the most ofl'cotivo weapon which lies
ready to our h-uids to accomplish our
purposes , With those who think thu
old parties jiave done little for the
people , na far as anti-monopoly meas '
ures are concerned , wo heartily agree.
Hut at the same time we submit that
the character of a party , for the time
being , in determined by the character
of its candidates and the nature of its
platforms and measures. Make , by
concerted action in each county , the
two dominant parties anti-monopoly
in candidates and principles this year ,
nnit wo place them on the road ton
usefulness and command the situa
tion , For the future , develop , organ
ize and harmonize our strength , and
when the time of our od
comes wo will find a party , new in
principle , young Jnstiength , and'.ripe-
for great achievements , ready made
to our hands and devoted to our use i * .
For the above reasons wo earnestly
cc'tntncnd that our non-parlizan at-
Utdb bo adhered to ; that no now
arty oivanizatinDR bo attempted , and
lAt'inacpcndcnt nominations bo not
mdo , except in cases where noniina-
on of the old parties nro unaccep-
iblo. In atich cases ; innko good 5n
cnondcnt nominations , invite the
upport of treed men of all partica ,
nd risk fighting rather than aurren-
'jr.
Above all thinsfB jet majorities rule.

The Railroad WAT Growing Interesting
esting-
The lailroad war has at last assumed
ft serious aspect. Heretofore the rival
companies wcro like men fencing with
foils or boxing with soft gloves ; now
they rosqrnblo antagonists who Imva
taken the buttons from the foils or the
cloves from the hands and uroposo to
draw blood. The cutting of rates is
rapidly approaching n lignite , which
involves actual loss , and this condition
is almost a sura forerunner of a settle
ment , of the difTeroncjcs and an nprco- ; !
luont upon rates that will draw blood
, from the public. It is not probable ,
however , that the railroads will bo
able to combine upon nny exorbitant
charges for freight so long a lake navi
gation is open nnd that powerful competition
'
petition continues , and ! an pflbrt to
restore the usual passenger rates
between tlio East and the AVest may be
resisted by some of the trunk 'roads
which have learned thatthoy can
make more money at ono cent a mile
for every through passenger than they
can at two or two nnd one-half cents
per mile. Whatever may bo the
terms of a now agreement , it has boon
demonstrated that the Fink pool sys
tem is not absolute nor reliable , and
-j will hardly bo cited for some time
to come as the true solution of the
railroad problem.
The terms of fighting , up , to within
a day or two , were by mutual consent
a cut on the freight busincs * from the
west to the cast while retaining the
old rates on traffic from the cast to
the west , and n cut on the west-ward
passenger business while adhering to
higher rates on the east-bound travel.
Tliis was a very absurd arrangement
and could not las.t long. It was al
together unbusincss-liko to demand 75
cents for carrying 100 pounds of
freight , the oaino distance one way I
while doing the same service in the
opposite for fifteen cents. In hko
manner it was illogical to demand $20
or oven § 15 for carrying a passenger
from Chicago to New York when the
same passenger was brought from
Now York to Chicago in the same
style and and at the same rate of
speed for $7. A break in any such
arrangement as that would surely
coma oven if the .railroads wcro on
good terms ; it has come all the sooner
on account of the bad feeling between
the managers of the different roads.
The Grand Trunk and Central Ver
mont roads , leading from Boston , via
Montreal , to Chicago , acting together ,
have been the first to scale down the
rates of west-bound , freight to about
the same level as the rates on cast-
bound freight between Boston nnd
Chicago. The rates fixed range from
15 to HO cents per 100 pounds which
have Itcrotoforo been manifested at 40
to 75 cunts , according to class. The
roads competing for the business be
tween Boston nnd the west will bo )
compelled to adopt n similar tariff ,
and the Now York business must bo
regulated within n short time upon
the same basis , for Now York cannot
afford to sacrifice nny of its trade to
Boston. The Grand Trunk will make
a move in the same direction on the
passenger rates It is said tlmt Bos
ton excursionists have already been
brought to Chicago at 83 each , with
return tickets guaranteed at the same
rate ; nndHjf the war goes on , the
Gland Trunk will probably sell tickets
regularly at that rate going east as
well as west The oilier roads will bo
compelled to do likewise. The pur
pose of the Grand Trunk is very evi
dent , It has taken heroic measures
to bring to n close u wnr of rates in
which it 1ms been n heavy loser of
business , and a restoration of agreed
rates will probably bo the result.
If tlio railroad managers nro wise
they will not let their recent experi in
ence pass without learning the lesson )
which it teaches. The increase of
travel , though the reduced rates have
not been in the
direction of the prevailing -
vailing travel at this season of the
year , has been such as to show that
there will bo greater profit to the
railroads in carrying passengers pt 10n
reasonable figure than in returning toy
the excessive charges. It is estimated
that , on the old basis of restiiptcjd
travel at high rates , the cost of carry-
infjapassoiiporwaseight-teenthBof iio ,
cent per milo. If the cars wore run
full instead of half-empty this cost
would bo reduced to one-half of ono
per cent per mile. The railroads may
earn more money by making n rate of
one cunt n mile per passenger on
through business than by going back
to two cents per milo. Instead of rn-
