WKKKH have elapsed since Mr.

"that outrageous law" has not yet

MANY residents of our city would

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

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. In one count
thu president is said to have died in-
Bluntly , in the others the words used
lire "he did languish and lancuitihing
did live. " The leaden bullet , tlio {
pistol of the value of llvo dollars
holdjn thu right hand , the churgo of
gunpowder , the depth ot tlio wound ,
uro all specified in endless repetition.
Tlio great advantage of law practice
under the cede in the brevity and
cloarntus of the forms in brought out
in stronu relief by thin instrument.
But if the aix counts prove auflicionA
hang the assassin few will complain
the means which were used to bring
about the unds of justice.
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

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. "
