CORPORATION TACTICS. The bile republican state conven tion hns r.gain demonstrated tbat the eoryiovntiong with all thuir politi cal niJtthincry nnd nil thi'ir jxnvurful ngcivcics are largely in the minority in in Oicso representative political gath erings. Every test vote demonstrated tlv\t the corporation lioncluneii and capper * did not cmnpiiso ono-third of ( ho convention , In spite of this fact , tlm minority managed tn retain con trol of tlio party inncliinory.and pre vented the expression of thu nenti- ml'iit endjrtnined by the majority on the most vital issue of the day. Although Church lion e , the most notorious monopoly capper in the sUto , proposed thu rcappointment of JnmojV , Diwu8 as chairman of the j-t.ito central committee and .lohn M. Thuratou , the political attorney of the Union Pacific , seconded Church Howe's nomination , Mr. Danes re ceived the support of more than ono hundred delegates who had voted against every candidate supported by Thuraton , nnd voted down every inea- sure ho had championed. Why did thcao opponents of monopoly domina tion vote to put the machinery of the party into the hands of n nun who hud played notoriously into the hands of the monopolies , and was publicly supported ! > y them. Simply because the opponents of monopoly - nopoly in the convention wore with out organization and without leader ship. Many of them voted for this faithful servant and tool of the mo nopolies , under the impression that they wore endorsing n faithful servant of the republican party. It has always been the aim ot the corporation cappera to suppress all public expression upon the railway question in the party platforms and their old tactics have aifain boon sue- coAsful. By a preconcerted arrangement mont with the chairman of tho'con ' vention , they made the editor of the Union Pacific onjan chairman of the platform camtnittco and that eminent henchman did not BCD tit to report back his resolutions until the convcn- tion had completed all its work. Instead of reporting back a platform' that deals with the living issues of the hour , the editorial capper of the Union Pacific monopoly reported a lengthy memorial for Garlield and u much lengthier pull for Arthur. The moment thcRo BO called resolutions had been adopted , the convention , by preconcerted arrangement , was do-1' dared adjourned , By Huch disreputable utablo methods have the corporation managers throttled the party and by such infamous tactics have they again retained control of the party machinery. But wo confidently predict that this is the last time such tactics can be successful in a republican state con- vention.Next year a contest of such magnitude iwill take place as to render it impossible to suppress an honest and full expression of public sentiment ; and when the republican masses of Nebraska do express their sentiments the corporation politicians will bo handled without kid gloves. The temporary advantage which these venal tricksters have gained this fall will not avail them when the political cyclone Hweops over Nebraska in 1882. TUB extension of the Burlington & Missouri river road to Denver i.s bound to revolutionize the coal and iron trade in this state. Colorado now bids fair lo furnish not only'her own supply of coal and iron but a sur plus siifllcient for the adjacent states and territories. Largo ( deposits of lignites , which , though inferior in quality are better by far than no coal , have already been quito extensively - tonsivoly developed , and the bituminous beds of the Gunnison , La Piata and El Moro regions have boon proven valuable for cooking purposes , and therefore almost indispensable to the smelting works in these districts. Quito recently it has been shown'that in Gunnison county are deposits of excellent anthracite of Hufliciont ex tent to warrant high anticipations for the future. Iron ore of lo'v grade is abundant in many parts of the state , though it ia only recently that any "buds ' of "sufficient value to warrant the establishment of blunt furnaces have boon found. The first furnace west of 'Missouri was lighted Puablp , Col. , u few days ago and in Burning out regularly and easily fifty- four tons' ' of pig iron daily , with n prospect of incrcasm his output to eighty tons aday , All the iron and coal used are mined ii the stale , . * and the prpduct-is sold -to * bo 'of good quality * | Tin : indictment against Guiteau lias been published and is a genuine curiosity in legal literature. , It con tains sixrcounts drawn up in the old , . common law form , which is now ob- Holoto in many states.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS THK demand of tlioKnglish farmers fora land bill similar in its operations to that paused for Ireland haa resulted in tlio organization of a farmers' ' alli ance , and the drafting of a measure to bo presented to tlio next parlia ment. The bill aims at establishing complete security for thu capital of farmers and immunity from capricious eviction ; the right of the tenant to sell his improvements in open rnniket , with the provision that the landlord must accept its tumnt for seven years , nnd at the sailio rent us that of the outgoing tenant , the person who pur chases ; and the creation of a land court in every district for the settle ment of question. cimceinin ; , ' rents and nil other disputes. The Pall Gazette thinks the bill mig- , nnd sjiyn that if thu draft I'H supported by n majority of the farmcra throughout thu country , nnd is vigorously used ns a monim of agi tating for reform , the day when par liament must vote urgently for the English land bill is nof1 very far off. The causes which have led to agricultural dopruimhii in England are numerous. Bad sea sons , increasing competition ) i/rom abroad , the rising cost of labor nnd a gradual fulling off in the producing quality ' ot the land have been largely responsible for the troubles of the English agriculturist. The tithe sys tem also operates to prevent land lords of tcnantloss farms from work ing them themselves. The tithe rent , which is duo to Urn nation , or rather to the established church , haa to be pnid bcforo ( ho landlord. Being1 nn annual rent charge it amounts in some cases to ten shillings per acre , and , on an average to no less than 5 , depending on the average price of cereals < based on the rental of forty years ago. But if the land is not cultivated Ho tithe rent is payable and therefore.thu landlord declines to I rent the farm at n rate which , after . . the tithe is paid leaves him but little or no margin. Bedfordshire alone . , had . last spring over 15,000 acres thus derelict , and this fall the area will probably bo doubled. In many coses the landlord cannot collect his rent , and . still allows the tenant to remain , because ho is doubtful about finding a . successor , and thinks it is bettor to have somebody to till the farm and pay the tithe and tnxen rather than to allow it to lie waste. Nearly 400,000 acres of farthing land in England are now . tctiantlcHH. The EnglUh farmer _ does not emigrate HO readily nn the Irish , but in the hint ten years tho. English migration to this country ] IQB exceeded the Irish , and been exceeded only , by the German. The now land I bill , will endeavor to apply a remedy for England equally'as etlicicnt & \ that which . is now in bcnificent operation in Ireland. The coming meeting of the czar and emperor of Austria is the univer sal topic of continental discussion. The Into interview of the czar with the emperor of Germany has been the cause of great anxiety to Austria. It was believed to portend a Russo-Ger- man alliance which would enable llus- sia to carry out her long cherished plans for annexing the Balkan prov inces. To allay the anxiety of his emperial cousin the czar writes an autograph letter to the emperor of Austria , expressing a desire to meet him. Warsaw was finally settled upon as thu place and October 7th as the date. There have , however , been some hitches which will delay , if not indefinitely postpone , this program. The Gorman inlluoncu at the court , according to a special dispatch to Thu Mow York Herald , objected that the emperor was lorbidden by Russian tradition to leave his dominions until his solemn coronation at the Kremlin. Alexander affected to be convinced , and said no moro of his intention , At the same time , however , ho sent an autograph letter to the emperor of Austria , again exprcoing bin wish to meet him , and mentioning the objections urged against his doing HO. A dispatch consenting to the in terview sonn after reached him. The . emperor of Austria pointed out in this message that ns Alexander III , , uc cording tn oiiquot , owed him the first visit , , ho would be nimble to leave Austro-Huugary , but would be quite willing to arrange for an , interview on the frontier , Alexander jiistnntly an noimcod his intention of starting on the 24th instant. On his too zealous courtiers venturing to remark that this left little time to taku precautions to iiiHiiro hix majesty's safety , they were sharply requested to mind thuir own affairs and do aa they were ordered. They succeeded , nevertheless , in per suading his majesty to defer his de parture till Tuesday. Meanwhile the two confidential dispatches had boon published by thu papers , and , iisnoth- ing assured the emperors that the rest of their private correspondence in re gard to the interview had not fallen into the hands of the socialists , the project was abandoned for fear of some criminal attempt during the jour ney. Thu manifesto of thu Irish bishops recently issued at Maynooth is u striking tribute to the wisdom of Mr. Gladstone. It declares that the land act. is a great benefit to the tenant class nnd a largo instalment of justice , for which the gratitude of the coun try is duo to Mr. Gladstone and his government and to all who helped them carry the measure through par liament , Tlio bishops earnestly ex hort their fl&cka to avail themselves of the advantages derivable from this not , believing that if rightly used it will bring present and anbstantial benefits and help them obtain their rights , social and political , which they justly claim. The bishops would also urge the tenant farmers to use the means provided in the land act and every other means in their power lo impiovo thu condition of the labor ing class. The bishops avail them- Helves of thin opportunity to call on their clcrpy to guard their flocks against all eiicrut agencies of violence and intimidation , which can only come from enemies of the people , and ap peal to the laity to provo the love they bear their country and their faith by Hcconding the clergy in the suppression of nllanti-sociall and anti- Catholic abuses ; also by removing n * far as in in each one's power the which our enemies have sought to cast upon the people that they will not pay their just debts , which they aru bound to do. The bishops unite with the people in urging on the gov ernment the release of these who are still imprisoned , hoping that such u measure will contribute no little to the peace of the country , " The document is signed by , all the bishops excepting Archbishop Croko and the bishops of Ross and Meath , who wnro absent on the continent. Prince Napoleon's renunciation of his dynastic rights in favor of his eld est son , Prince Victor , will bring to the front in Bonaparte politics a lad of 10 , who has hitherto been a day scholar at ono of the Paris lycccs. Should ho over reign , which now seems almost an improbable aa that the Stuarts will over again rule in England ; , ho would , in accordance with the precedent in 1852 , when the Duke of Kcichatadt was reckoned Na poleon II. , be called Napoleon VI. On both sides ho has royal blood in his veins. His father , a son of Je rome Bonaparte , had for his mother a Gorman princess , and the young | man's own mother is a daughter of the house that now rules in Italy. None of the princes of the Bonaparte house have had so little Bonaparte , blood in hm veins as ho. It is a curi ous fact , pointed out by the London Telegraph , that two sons of the first Napoleon's brother , the SOIIH of Louis | and Jerome , wont into exile , and that a grandson of Louis also1 wont there and died there when engaged in the colonial quarrel of a foreign state , while the young man who remains to represent tlio clujirns of the Bonaparte in Franco is a'dcacondant ot tVictor Emmanuel. Grevey , president ot the French re public , has of Into evinced a touch of jealousy towards Gambetta , and , ' it i.s. intimated , is reluctant to make the' ' great leader premier. The frionda of Gambotta will not , however , bo effect ed by this , but will undoubtedly reelect - elect him to the presidency of the chamber of deputies , and they inti mate that , unless he is recognized by an appointment in the , cabinet , hu will bo nominated and elected to the presidency two yeara hence. The am bitious Frenchman is a shrewd and crafty leader of men , and has the af fections of the people largely with him now. What thu atato of the French | pulse will be n year hence it is difficult to foretell , however. If any man in Franco can keep the current of popu lar opinion in his favor for that length of time Gambotta is the man. I. The Amtrican horses are now first favorites for the two great lall races in England the Oesaromtch and Cambridgeshire handicaps. Even people who frown upon horse-racing munt admire the pluck which enables men to send horses 3,000 miles across 11 the sea to contest with foreign racers for the supremacy of the turf. Thus far , this season the English stables of Messrs. Lorillard and Keene have .won about § 200,000 in , stakes alone , while in bets the followers of "tho Yankees" have pocketed a much larger sum. A Frenchman has collected statis tics which show that in Prussia the , railways every year kill ono passenger in ev0ry 21,5000,000 whom thoycarty ; in Belgium they kill ono in over 9,000,008 ; in England , ono ia every 5,250,000 , and in Franco ono in every 2,000,000. Prance thus stands highest - est for killing. For wounding it ranks Hucond , England being first. Eng land , as will bn seen , is second for killing. It is estimated that state and company management may have some thing to do with thuso differences. \ monument has boon raised in the Shipka Pass to commemorate- the bat tles which wore fought there during the late war between Russia nnd Tur key. It is said to bo a worthy memorial - morial of the thousand of lives , many of them the lives of the bravest of men in the opposite armies , which were lost in the tremendous strangle' ' " of Suleiman to force the pass. Spanish omignilion from the Alge rian province of Oran ainco the first of January numbers 24,821 , persons'of whom more than half went nwiiy after the outrages under the leadership of Bon Amelia. It is estimated that their IOHICH from thu outrages will retch 81(50,000 ( , which does not in clude actual money taken from them or the loss of their Hocks and herds. The Pacific Coast. HI. I'iiiil fiontir'l'rcx. The people of California and thu ad- jnccnt States , notwithstanding the ex istence of "the tie that binds' ' in the almpo of the Pacific railroads com pleted or contemplated , have some reason in the complaint they some times utt6r that they are practically out of the Union. Thu construction of trans-continental lines is too gener ally looked upon as simply a means for increasing thu commerce through cantern ports , and but little reliable information exists as to the domestic prosperity nnd rnlativo progress of the great western coast of the republic. In this connection there is much of interest to be found in the address now made public of Mr. Tovia , the president of Wells , Fargo it Co. , be fore the American Banker's associa tion. It is a thoughtful sketch of thu past and present of California , and contains some statistics which nro a reasonable foundation for predictions of a prosperous future. Politeally , most people will probably bo surpris ed to learn that thu now constitution , whose adoption n few yeara ago waa understood to mean fhe triumph of demagogy and the turning over of the government to the dangerous class , hus proved , in fact , upon trial , a harmless and even beneficent instru ment. This ia partly due to the doc ument itself , which contains some strange provisions for a communistic platform ; such as the property quali fication for certain oflicial positions , thodisfranchisomentof some elements of the more irresponsible populace , and particularly , the regulation rates by a commission instead of by legisla tive action , But still moro is it ow ing to the dicisions and interpreta tions of the courts. The law IB natur ally conservative , and the alarm at tendant upon the adoption of the new constitution which waa placed upon its more objectionable features. It ia probably no exaggeration to say that , in respect to its fundamental lawn , the government of California is at no dis advantage in the comparison with most eastern States. The alternations of speculative ex citement , and depression , except in the matter of mining stocks , have been less general and less severe upon the Pacific coast than in other sec tions. Those States retaining n cur rency ' based upon gold and held con vertible , were not subject to the fluc tuations which disturbed the markets tiw the East. Their periods of distress wore therefore chiefly duo to natural causes ; , and the course of recuperation was moro natural nnd. less difficult. A. glance backward ot the records of the past few years will show that the troubles of California have not been these i cidcnt to the chaotic condition of her political views , and the pecu liar difficulties which attached them selves to the question of labor. These are now , in great mcaaure , things of the past ono experience of Kearney would teach much duller people than the Californinna some important les sons in in political economy , statecraft , and practical politics ; and the new treaty with China has eliminated , for the present , tlio element of a possible Mongolian invasion. There seems to bo no reason , without or within , why the Pacific coast should not settle down to a course of steady and quiet development , keeping pace with that of other quarters more widely herald ed. And this one State is taken as the typo of the Pacific coast , not be cause the interest of that group of States are identical , which is far from true , but because , by her mze , popula tion. anh position , she takes the natur al lead ; and because , whei > time may liavo exhausted the resources of States whoso prominence ia tlm result wholly of mineral wealth , her soil and climate insure her againut possible retrograd ing in the race for empire. The production of the precious mot- uls in the United States will not , probably - ably , owing to improved methods of extracting J them from their ores , diminished - minishod noticeably , in the aggregate , for many years to come. But California - nia has , meantime , in her agricultural capabilities , a surer guarantee of nteudy progress , and a safeguard . against , that future day , when thu con1 1 ter of mining operations ahull bo trans1 1 ferred to regions other than the pres ent. The surplus of her wheat crop for the year 1880 , was "more than twice thu bullion product of thu State ; or , to put it in another way , the whuat crop or California for 1880 , was worth more than half as much as the bullion product of the whole United States. " This is but one of the varied kinds of production which her favoring soil and admirable climate permit. The wino crop of last year yielded to grope grow ers nearly § 3,500,000 ; and thn manu factures of lumber , the production of wool and dairy produce , ( lie raising of livestock , and the canning of fruits end vegetables make up a total yearly increase of wealth which affords a basis for estimates of future prosperity by no means inconsidomhlo. Of course the facility with which these commodi ties , can hu placed in thu world's mar kets is an important item , and in this respect California is certainly favored. She is already the terminus of one great transcontinental railway line. The laying of 400 additional miles of track will complete the Southern Pa cific , and put San Francisco in direct communication with Giilveston and Now Orleans. The Northern Pacific in a few years mole will taji this coast line at a higher point ; and from Maine to Texas on the oust , will have its cor responding antithesis , from Tacomu to San Diego on thu west. Looking out upon the broad Pacific with the best facilities ' for commerce with the oldest o'f nations , and with the great island continent of the sont/i / , with the yoy- age around Capo Horn always feasible , and the construction of an isthmus canal un immediate probability , it is not easy to see what moro bounteous supply of means of communication this section could desire. It IH favored of nature ; it receives the benefit of the most stupendous undertakings of man ; and it i not to be doubted tiat ) its citi zens will work out their iieucwiarv share in the assured pioaperity which units upon industry , economy , and good government. Thu fair future of what was once , and that not long ago , but little more than "thodiggings 'can not be other thnn a sou re o of gratula- tion to all the people of thu common country of which it is u p.ut. That it is to participate in the wonderful unfolding of prosperous development which HeeniH now upon us , ia beyond the pale of questioning. K1RKWOOD AND THE SENATE An Inclopoiulrsiit Nomination t > y His Homo Paper. lonn Cltj UcHiljtlmn. | There is n strong probability that Secretary Kirkwood will retire from tlm cabinet , find , in that event , his many friends throughout the state will insist that ho bo returned to the United States Senate from which ho was called by president ( Jnrfiold. Ho was not n candidate for cabinet honors , but yielded to the entreaties of tlio late chief magistrate to become ono of his advisers. It ia proper , therefore , that he Hhould bo placed in his former position. The republican press thtoughoiit the state speaks favorably of thu proposition. The DCS Moines correspondent of The Chicago Even ing Journal eajs : "It would not be surprising if hu were nominated , as ho once was for governor , 'in the name of the people of lowit , ' without his knowledge or consent. It would be very like Iowa republi cans to do that. Circumstances have altered the case very materially since many of thu legislative nominations were made , and instructions given candidates will be considered in the light of existing facts. " Tina no doubt expresses public feeling , and while wo appreciate the claims of the distinguished gentlemen who nre candidates for the United States sen ate , we think that Mr. Kirkwood should be chosen to occupy the scat he BO reluctantly vacated. AB the Republican has not deemed it necessary to express a preference either for AVil- Bon , Gear or Kasson , it can now inde pendently nominate .Mr. Kirkwood should he retire from the cabinet. President Arthur cannot find a mnn who will more economically and till- ciently manapo the interior depart ment , but if ho has determined to make a complete change in the cabi net , Mr. Kirkwood will not stand in hia way. The people of Iowa will not allow their faithful public servant to rest very long. Den Molnca lu-iiblur. The Murahalltown Times-Republi can is still eagerly anxious to show that the people of the atate cannot have secretary Kirkwood for senator no difference how much they might want him. It nays : "When Gov. Kirkwood accepted a place in Mr. Gartield's cabinet , he did a fitting thing. HLs yeara , his char acter , his eminent public services , all pointed him out OR the man for the place , and pointed out the position , alao , aa the place for the man. It was-a compliment to him as well aa as to . the state , that he should bo selected ; ho could safe ly bo entrusted with the responsi ble duties of the place , and the state could be relied upon to futnish a worthy successor in the senate. He , ns well aa the people of Iowa , accepted the accrotaiyariip as nn honorable closing of an honorable career in thu public service' , clearly indicated by his advancing years. It was no fault of hia nor of the peoolo that this should have been accepted and acted upon in good faith , nor that all the well-grounded hopes and expectations of a longer career for Mr. Kirkwood should have been dashed to the ground by ( he hand of the assassin. But the facts stand out clear that ho accepted the scrctaryship as a total withdrawal from the canidancy for the senate , and that the people ac cepted ii in the same way , and pro ceeded to make a choice of a suc cessor. This is all very softly spoken in deed , but it flies a trifle wide of a few pretty well known facts. It ia true , however , in the broadest sense , that when Secretary Kirkwood en tered Garfield's cabinet "he did a fitting thing. " Ho was a representa tive Iowa man , in harmony with the sentiment of the state in the position it took in the great contest' inside the party 1 in 1880 , aud which made Gartield's nomination possible. It J would not have been such a fitting thing for a man who had not been in harmony 1 with the Iowa republicans to have gone into the Garfield cabinet aa their representative. Of the men who could go with such manifest pro priety 1 Governor Kirkwood was among the foremost , and the demand was therefore made upon him. Ho had in the senate ar position much moio agreeable to him than any in the cabinet , and especially more so than the laborious and trying post he was offered at thu head of the interior department. This is gener ally conceded to bo one of the moat difficult places in the government to fill. More than ono able man has given it up in despair. Gov. Kirk wood waa asked to give up his serene place in the senate for this trying position. Iowa waa repre sented in the cabinet , and above all the rugged honesty , ability and energy of Gov. Kirkwood wore wanted in the interior , department . _ . . i . . _ t l- i. i. l. ± 1 t/ I Accordingly he made the sacrifice and gave up his seat in the senate. It h u trifle humorous to represent a mini giving up a seat in thu senate which he might have for an indefinite time , along with the general rrspect and confidence of the people , in older to round out his public life .in a comfortable fashion in the most plorplexing , trying and laborious B position in thu cabinet. SenatoiH have made this change before , but I n always they have had some other end 1 1 in view than ease and comfort , Speak ing of how this matter understood at Gov. Kirkwood'a home , Tlio Iowa City Republican says : "Ho was not u candidate for cabinet honors , but yielded to the entreaties of the late chief magistrate to become one * of hm advisers.
