SLATES * are easy to make 1ml some times oven easier to break. PRESIDENT AiiTiiun is fifty-one years old to-day. Ho WOH born October 5. 1830. t THE struggle in both political par ties in New York is to shako * oft * the bosses.

AKOTHKU drop in wheat is recorded on the Chicago board , together with a corresponding dropping of dollars by reckless speculators. TUB Herald is very conlidunt ol clouting the entire democratic county tickdt. Don't count your chickens until they ore hatched. TUKIU : is great excitement in Mis souri over a discovery of gold. We presume they have struck u mine salt- ud by the train robbers. THE numbers of the devoted demo crats iu the city will continue to in crease until after the decision of that convention. Then there will bo a mm- oral ecattering. TJIK Atlanta GViu/i/iifum / / thinks thai all Oliioaus will have become iiibii stalwarts. Next Tuesday's eloctioi will show that they have become more rabid republicans than ever before. THE Now York Sun is greatly agitated - tatod because no preacher was called > ; to attend "President Garfield 'Oiiiing his last illness. No person was SH in need of a minister than Gen enil CJarfield , who immediately after his shooting expressed himself as prepared tofaco death. I'nissaiNa engagements will keep Senator'Mahono from attending the xtra flcsnion of the senate. Mr Ma- hone does not propose to fall between the bourboi ) and rcndjustcr utools , and thir ere wisely decides to $ alone no purt 'tho wrangle ovsr the sec- autary hip of the Bonate. . .IU J ' * ' V IMMIGRATION , Onui' : NIMMO , of the bureau of sta tistics , reports thu total immigration for .July and August as 11.1CoO. , It U now certain that the immigration for 1881 will bo greatly in cxccsi of (100,000 ( nnd tlmt the total figures will make thu present year thu greatest year of immigraticn in the history of Iho United States. How vast is the imputation which necks new homes on our shores may be comprehended from a consideration of the fact that thu Immigration of 1881 will be equal to more than a hundredth part of thu entire | Mpulalion of the republic. Germany still lends the lint , furnish ing us with 18,430 immigrants in Au gust n uiiist 11,018 , for the correspond ing month of lastyear. . England nnd Wales contributed 15,711 ( luring July and August , and Ireland 10,728. It is imticcd that fewer emigrants are leaving Ireland for America than in former years , while other nationalitioa are crossing the water in increasing number. * Thu addition made by this foreign population to the national \\ealth can not bo eat limited accurately , but thu average has been computed nt $1,000 per immigrant , which would make an addition of six hundred millions to the a-rgrcgato wealth of thm country hiring thu present year. A much jreator proportion of these new-coin- cru are strong nnd abln-lxidiud than wan thu C.IHO Home ycarx aqo. The arger share of them are Germans , who come by no means empty-handed. They are of thu description which the Gorman government dislikes to ese , and thu path of the American emigration agents in Germany is tot altogether a pleasant ono. In spite of the discouragements which ire thrown in the way of the depart ure of their subjects by the homo au horities , tlio exodus is more likely to ncrcaso than diminish. The bulk of tiieso wealth producers naks their homes in the northern , nero especially the northwestern , tales. It is claimed that this is largo- , ' duo to the fact that peoplein hanging their habitats cling to their cspectivo lines of latitude. Making lie allowance for this tendency , icro is still very much duo to 10 efforts of the state agents. Wisconsin , Kansas , Minnesota , Iowa nd other northwestern states have capcd ample returns from paying iligcnt attention to this source of leir prosperity. The operations of ate and railway agents commence in 10 mother country , and continue un- 1 the immigrant roaches his destina- on. It has been found that this \bor and care yields productive re- urns , and they are consequently rstcmatically sustained. It is to bo regretted that Nebraska as neglected her opportunity to so- uro her legitimate share of this im- nigration. Unlike Kansas , Minno- ota And Iowa , our state has failed to aako any provisions vfor encouraging nmigrats , and the last legislature ofusod to vote money enough to piint amphlots embodying the desired in- ormation about the resources and ad- antagcs of Nebraska. While this japer opposed the appropriation of nonoy for traveling agents , wo urged beral provisions for advertising lirough the proper channels. It is to ) o hoped that the legislature , if an xtra session is hold next winter , will ectify their error , and put Nebraska 3n an equal footing with other north- vostorn states in the effort to secure icr share of immigration. Tin : conduct of Mrs. Garfield since ho funeral of the late president lias > rought into still stronger prominence lor admirably well balanced character and horoio fortitude , llofusing to give w < * y to excessive grief , she at once retired to the privacy of her liomo at Mentor nnd devoted herself to the duty of settling her husband's estate nnd completing his plans for the education of his children. The aoya were at once sent back to Wil liams college , to continue their stud ies. J'rivntc Secretary ISrown , who will bo retained by Mrs. Garfield as her business manager , was dispatched to Washington to dispose of General Garfield's residence in 'that city and the old homo nt Mentor will noon re- ooivo all the relics of the dead presi dent which were loft at the time of his death at tlio national capital. Mrs. Glariiold will make her homo at Men tor and spend her winters nt Cleveland - land , nnd with her boys at Williams- town , Massachusetts. She is bearing up under her great losr with n bravery and resignation which will still more endear her to the American people. TJIK Iov\a election takes place on the llth instant , when the people will bo called upon to vote for u gov ernor , lieutenant-governor , superin tendent of public instruction , judge oi the supreme court , part of the state senate and a houseot represen tatives. The next legislature will elect a senator to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Kirkwood , which vacancy is now iillod by Hon. P. M. MoDell. Thu canvas * for the sonatorship has boon unusually active , with Jim Wilson and Governor Gear as the loading candidates and McDill and John A. Mason iia-'tho dark horses. From present indications Mr.v WiUon has a - VM-VV good lend , and thows a majority o instructed members of the Icginln turo. Secretary Kirkwnod'a roliro mcnt nmy put n different comploxioi mi tlio mnttor nnd bring him to th front ns n candidate who would so euro nil tlio anti-Wilson forces , and n atillicicnt number of otlicrs to oloc him on tlio first ballot. OUR western exchanges nro excited over the numoroua rnilroac surveys now in progress across Color ado , Utah nii < J Novnda , all pointing to now transcontinental roads , independent ont of those now in operation. Moth the Denver & llio Grande and parties OBtcnsibly connected with the Unioi Pacific are locating lines duo cast aiu west , nnd rumor has it that the fol lowing is the route selected by Jay Gould for an an outlet to the Pacific coast , independent of tlmt by way o Ogden and the Central Pacific. The Denver & South Park road , which has reached a. point near Ounnison , wil ho extended through to tlio Utah Central. The Salt Lake Western now in process of construction into Nevada will bo joined at Crystal Springs , Nevada , by another road into San Francisco. It is claimed that this system would shorten the distance to the coast over two hun dred miles. IT in hiijh time that the attention of the authorities of Omaha should be directed to the dens and hull-holes which disgrace the Third ward of this city. Scarcely n night elapses that Homo Htranger is not slugged and robbed in this locality , which has long been u stench in the nostrils of every respectable and law-abiding citizen. Ono of thuso sinks , n variety theater uf the lowest nnd most disreputable class , should long since have been wept out of existence by the officers jf the law. It has no authority for existing , and every consideration of niblic policy culls for its prompt sup pression. Patronized by the vilest ilemontfl of our population , and con- luctod by u gang of sharks who prey ipon over } ' victim who. conies to hand , ts record in police nnnalH needs only o bo examined in order to afford the irongcRt arguments for its immediate .oppression . by the police. TIIKHK HceniH to bo n disposition at iVnahington to nholvo Secretary Kirk- rood in Home obscure oflicu as a sop to ho feelings of Iowa republicans. The ixtost proposition looks to placing Mr. virkwood in the chair now occupied > y Oon. lYusnont nt governor of Ari- ona. Tlicro is "no probability of iis acceptance of 'the position. Such n ofllco will do very well for a broken [ own politician , but it is no field for ho proper exercise of such talents as Secretary Kirkwood posHcsses. The Id war governor , experienced United States senator and able secretary of in- crier in neb likely to accept a pension is governor of Arizona. If his retire- nent becomes u political necessity , the leoplu of Iowa will see to it tha the lees not Hturve. PIIOF. SAMUEL AUOIIBY has been in- orviowed by a Wyoming reporter ipon the artesian well question and vos convinced that the experiment of ocating such wells in desert regions vould bo a success. As u well exca vation Prof. Aughoy will bo in his 'lument. Ho-is u gigantic bore. But .ho question is , doeH Samuel Aughoy Iraw pay as professor of the Nebras ka state university while lie is oxplor- idg for artesian wells in Wyoming ? OWE of the vacancies to bo filled by President Arthur when the senate convenes next week is the auditorship i > f railways , , from which the late Mr. French was summarily ejected by Proridont Oarfiold , when dicovercd that he had been tampered with by the Central Pacific monopoly. The position is one of great responsibility , and it is to bo hoped that Homebody will bti found that cannot be approached preached with n bribe. Acoounmo to the Now York Trilr 11 lie'j estimate , the republican state convention that meets in Now York to-day will Btand282anti.Conkling , 100 Conkling , 23 on the fence and 24 con tested. Now that Mr. Conkling 1ms decided not to enter the convention , theie will probably bo no test vote to show the factional division [ of the convention. Now that 950,000'in bonds have been secured from the gullible Lin- colnitcs , the Lincoln and Fremont con struction ring nro concent r.icting al their iniluenco on Wahoo and Fre mont. Although they liavo already bound themselves to Lincoln to buih this road , they think the people ol Wahoo and Fremont will vote mort gages on themselves for their benefit. GOVEKNOK NANCK evidently labors under the delusion that all democrats are the direct descendants of Sainl rotor. That is doubtless why his ox collonoy has selected the , throe fish commissioners out of the democratic ranks. TUB lleia'd ' still continues to ma liciously slander the policy of President dent Garfiold. The Herald' * policy i jobbery , corruption and soft eoap whether they have "defended am avowed" it or not. The Rnilrond Wixr , St. r < uuli Globe-Democrat. The war of the Eastern trunk rail way companies does not appear to bo any nearer solution than it was a month or BO ago. The situation presents sonts a rather difficult problem. The local and general business of the Now York Central is so great that it cat afford to carry freight nt rates whicl wipe out the profits of the other roads or cause them actual loss. The rffor of tlio other roads has , therefore , beet to combine with the Now York Central tral and keep rates ujxm n basis whicl will enable tlioin to pay dividends , am the Now York Central to make a groa deal of money. When tlio laat-namci road has broken from the ngreontent for any reason , and lowered , the oth- en , knowing that their only salvation rested in restoring the old order ol things , and thinking that if they failed they might ns well die for a sheep as a lamb , reduced their own rates below the point at which the Now York Central tral could comfortably pay ita divi dends. At such times largo amounts of trade have been diverted from Now York to Philadelphia and Baltimore , and general dissatisfaction has prevail ed. The effect hits hitherto been what wan desired by the less wealthy corpo rations. Doubtless Mr. Vanderbilt would have been content tc keep up rates to the required figures indefinitely , had his road not boon threatened with a competing line right along by its side throughout its entire length If rates are sustained , as the managers of the Pennsylvania , Baltimore nnd Ohio and Erie roads dcsiro , the profits of the Now York Central will bo so ; rcat as to invite direct competition in its local and through traffic. Tlio only way that this ca'n bo prevented is by placing rates so low that there will bo no room for competition. President Oarrett , of theBaltimoro ] & Ohio , contends that Mr. Vanderbilt > nght to permit this competing line to bo built , nnd the through freight atcs to be kppt at a point where all the roads could make money. The > epplo will scarcely sympathize with his view. Mr. Vanderbilt certainly will not. His opponents , therefore , iroceod to cut down rates , and throat- in to divert trade by so doing from ' Sow York to Philadelphia and'Balti more , hoping thus to arouse public ontimont in Now York against the : onduct of the Now York Central. fir. Vanderbilt tolls them to go ahead. It looks very much as if Mr. Van- lerbilt was master of the position. A persist en co on the part of his oppo- icnts will ruin their roads. The Now Sfork Central can starve thorn out , ilthough it may have to skip some lividonds in the operation. Perhaps t may not oven have to do that. The ither roads are fairly beaten in the oinpotition , and the fear of new com- lotition forces the Now York Central 0 keep down prices. The question laturally arises : Shall the immense railic between Now York City and ho west bo taxed in order to enable crtain railroads to pay dividends vhon other roads can afford to do the jusiness for less money ? In other vords , is thn public to bo denied the intur.il advantages of , business cotn- otitipn to save certain railway cor- orations ? Mr. Vanderbilt , in his pres- nt stand , will certainly be supported > y popular sentiment in general , how- vor much Now York City may bo rightoned at a temporary diversion > f trade. The values of all kinds of iroporty are liable to bo damaged by ompotition , and the public , as a rule , s not required to make iiip the losses if the injured owners. There are ortaiu kinds of vested rights which , n this cruel world , have to take care ) f themselves. It may bo inevitable that the worst- id roads will have "to content them- elves with what they can make out ) f the situation. Their own local raflie is largo , and it is not improba- > le that , taking the actual cost of the roads into consideration , there is still 1 margin ot profit left for them. If hero is not it is their own misfor- ; uno. It is a healthy indication that klr. Vanderbilt has so much respecter or competition as -adopt the policy if keeping rates within reasonable hints. It is altogether likely that his influence will not relax. People lave got into the habit of improving ill the opportunities that exist for ) uilding railroads in these days , and , as wo see in the present case , it works roll with respect to combinations ngainst the popular pocket. Important Vaoanoiei. New York Tribune. Apart from the reorganization of the cabinet , which some of the newspa pers hasten to take for granted will loon bo made , President Arthur has o iill a number of important posts low vacant or shortly to become so. The country will therefore have an early opportunity to see with what wisdom ho is able to exercise tlio ap pointing porfor. The vacancy on the bench of the supreme court caused by the death of Justice Clifford , of Muino , will doubtless bo supplied by an appointment sent in to the ap- proacluni ! extra session of the senate. As the deceased justice was Now England's only representative in the court , wo may conclude that the appointment will bo made from that section , A second vacancy prac tically exists through the disability of Justice Hunt , of this State , who has not boon able to perform his duties for nearly two years , and it is said never expects to bo able to resume them , Ho has not served long enough , how ever , to take advantage of the retiring act , and is naturally disinclined to give up hia salary. Perhaps Congrpss will think it proper to pass a special act to meet his cnso. The country will not grudge him his retiring pay , though ho lucks a year or two of tlio precribed ungth of m rvice. No appointments which a president is called upon to moke are Bo'impor- tnnt as those to tno supreme bench. The judges of the Inchest national tribunal are the guardians of the con stitution , the interpreters of the' laws , and the administrators of justice in its noblest functions. In considering the qualifications of these whom ho may have in view in connection with the present and prospective vacancies in the supreme court , President Arthur should bo sure of two things first , that they have excellent reputations as jurists in their own states , and second end , that they are of such airo and such condition of mental and bodily health that at least fifteen years' hard service may reasonably bo expected ol them. The experiment of elevating a lawyer from the bar directly to the Suprcmo.Uench withoutJPaiiy jtulicin experience has been tiicd and not mi successfully , but it will hardly bo claimed that the precedent is a goot ono to follow. The rnloshould rather bo to recruit the highest tribunal n the land from among the most cminon judges of the Stale or lower Fedora ! Couits. As to the consideration o ; years and health , it is wi importanl one. A Justice of the Supreme Coun has a laborious position , and to endure long the strain put upon him needs a strong brain in n sound , vigorous body. Frequent changes in the Court are to bo deplored , as diminishing its efficiency mid making it liable to DO loss steady and conserv ative in its opinions. A model ap pointment to the supreme bench would bo a man of about fifty , in ro bust health , accustomed to hard work and with an excellent reputation for clearness , breadth , accuracy and judi cial temper , gained by service upon the bench of ono of the state or feder al courts. Wo need not say that ho should also bo well-grounded in the republican ideas of citizenship nnd of the relations of the nation to the states. There are two first-class foreign missions to bo filled. The German Mission was mndo vacant several weeks ago by the return of Mr. White , who resigned to resume his duties nt homo as president of Cornell Univer sity. According to n recent dispatch from Vienna , Mr. Phelps has inform ed Prondont Arthur of hi * dcsiro to bo relieved from the Austrian Mission \3 soon as his successor can conven iently bo appointed. In filling those two high diplomatic posts , the country expects that President Arthur will go above the grade of the average successful politician who gets into congress by aKJft of stump oratory or skill in managing conventions. The low appointees will bo compared , joth at homo and in the countries to which they are sent , not with the in conspicuous men among their prodo- iessors , but with the famous men who tavo tilled the posts just before them. Ilioro need bo no trouble in filling ) oth places well if the president con sults his own judgment , but the pres sure upon him will bo pretty sure to ro in behalf of man whose fitness for diplomatic station is apparent to no snobut themselves.
