THE PRESIDENTIAL fjTJCOES-
SION.
The democrats have organized the
senate by electing - mes F. Bayard
president pro tcmnoro. In Iho pres
ent emergency Una ii nn event of
unusual itniorUuico Although Mr.
Bayard ns president of the senate does
not enjoy the title or prerogatives of
vico-prwideiit ho occupies n position
tlmt places hint in direct line of nuc-
ccAsion tii the itrcftidonuy. The
president of the sonata has no casting
vote like Iho vice-president in C.IHO of
a tie vote , but hu bocoinoa constitu
tional succrsaor cif the vico-prcf idont
should ( hat oflicur while Acting us
president of the United States bo re
moved from ollico 1 y iiinjeachment ,
become disublud or die. In other
words there is now but ono life bo-
tvroon Mr. Hnyard nnd tlw presidency.
While tlio country is conscious that
Mr , liayard is it gentleman eminently
fitted to discharge any duty that may
devolve upon him , and while there is
not a shadow of corruption on his past
political record , yet the fuct that his
political view * are radically at variance
with thoao hold by n majority of loyal
tlinuricans , his elevation to the presi
dency of the sonata becomes almost n
mcnaco to the nt ability of our institu
tions. Nobody will dare impute any
design or dcsiro to Mr. Bayard to become -
como the ntieccR3 < jr of President
Arthur , and yet the fact that a Demo
crat may be made president by
; ho removal of ono man is u
most tcrriblo temptation to cranks ,
who tmy imagine the salvation of the
country depends upon the resumption
of national control by the democracy ,
[ mpressed wfth the grave problem
that is presented by the election of a
lomocrat to the presidency of the
senate while a republican vice-presi
dent occupies the presidential chair ,
Senator Edmunds made an earnest ef- .
ort to Bccuro the admission of the
tfow York'and Rhode Island senators
) oforo the ennato proceeded to the
election of its president. In this effort
10 wan seconded by every republican
n the senate as well as by Senator
David Davis , who usually
votes with the democrats.
Hut the democratic caucus had laid
mt the program for democratic sena
tors. Mr. Edmund's proposition was
voted down by a party vote and Mr.
Bayard was duly elected and ii.stallod
in the vice presidential chair.
As the leader on the republican side
Mr. Edmunds entered a most digni-
icd and unanswerable protest against
the exclusion of the Now York and
[ Ihodo Island senators , and , as on
'ormor occasions. Mr. Edmunds has
; ivon proof of his profound knowledge
of political'history and his mantorly
ability to donate constitutional ques
tions. In protesting against the
course pursued by the democratic ma
jority Mr. Edmunds has also laid
; ho foundation for justifying tlio
course which the republicans intend
.0 pursue when they are in the major-
ty next winter.
THURSTON'S CAMPAIGNS.
Some of the most disastrous defeats
on both sides during the war were duo
to incompetent leadership. Field ofli-
cors who were able to handle a batal-
lion or a regiment proved complete
failures an commanders of u brigade
and many excellent brigade command
ers wore utterly unfit to command a
division or an army corps.
In politics as in war , ability of a
much higher order is essential to sue
cess in leading and handling largo
bodies of men on an extensive field
than in conducting a fight on a very
limited territory , A politician who
can successfully pack and manipulate
a ward caucus is not always competent
to organize n atato campaigner
or manage a sectional contest.
Nowhere has this fact been moro
strikingly illustrated than in the po
litical campaigns that have been fought
during the punt four years in Ne
braska. When John M. Thurston as
sumed command of the political forcjs
of the Union Pacific it was expected
ho would rovolutionr/.o our politics ,
completely stamp out till opposition to
monopoly domination nnd become the
arbiter of the political destiny of every
aspirant to ollico from constable to
United States senator. In UIOHO ex
pectations Mr , Thurston has sorely dis
appointed his followers and admirers.
With one or two minor exceptions bin
political leadership has boon a series
of disgraceful disasters. Throe years
ago ho organized n campaign for Mr.
Hay ward of Otoo county , whom ho
promised to sent on the supreme
bench. With the party machin
ery , in his hands ho selected
Omaha us his battle ground
but when brought face to face with
the opposing forces ho capitulated un
conditionally , leaving Mr. Hayward
in a sad plight. The senatorial con
test last wintcr'nilinrded him a splendid
did field for displaying his leadership ,
but like the Austria" goncra ! in Italy
that surrendered to Napoleon I at
Mantua , ho allowed the enemy to
concentrate whiluho was scattering his
forces , and before he could prepare
pare for retreat , Thurston nnd his
Nance boom were bottled by Van
Wyck.
Last week Thurston led his follow-
en recklessly into another political
slaughter pen. Ho tried to play Sitting -
ting Bull on Judge Maxwell by plan
ning a treacherous ambuscade , mid
when ho found that his plot wnn dis
covered hu had the foolliardincts to
attempt its execution in the face of a
vigilant enemy massed in over
whelming force. Such persistent
blundering would demoralize the
bravest men , it and Tlinrstou's follow
ers wcro not regulars fed by the Union
Pocific commissary , ho could not
muster a corporal'n guard for another
campaign. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Illinois the slate board of equali
zation were neb elected nnd are not
controlled by Iho railway corporations
much to the satisfaction of the people ,
the regret of the monopolies and the
profit of the state. At its last session
this body of public ofliccra increased
the assessment of railroad property in
the state $7,000,000 over the .IRSC
munt of last year. 'This was nt the
rate of 14 per cent , and the railroad
manage complain that there has been
discrimination exercised agaitmt them
because other property in Illinois has
increaHcd only 1 per cent during the
same time. Tlio board retorts very
properly that the assessment of 1880
was too low mid that in fixing a higher
rate it xvas forced to take into consid' '
oration the increase not only in now
lines and improvements on the old
ones but also the handsome percentage
age- which the companici have earned
upon their capital investment. It
would bo worth § 300,000 in the pock
ets of Nebraska tax payora if they had
such a board of equalization as that
possessed by Illinois. As long as the
railroads control political conventions
and public officers are not hold to a
strict accountability for their acts by
the people the burden of maintaining
our government will be yearly shifted
Irom the shoulders of wealthy corpora
tions where it bolongn to the backs of
the people who are -daily taxed to fill
the coffers of the monopolies.
TIIK BKK cannot join those news
papers that have been urging our
farmers to hold their grain and corn
indefinitely for higher prices. The
sustained price of UICBO articles on
eastern boards of trade has been large
ly the result ; of speculative manipula
tion by Chicago nnd Cincinnati cap !
talistfl. The ablest judges of the fu
ture of the markets do not believe
that the quoted values of two weeks
o can bo maintained during the winter
tor and the closing out of tli3 Cincin
nati ' 'deal" and the consequent drop
in prices goes tar toward sustaining
their judgment. It is a good rule to
sell on a high market and to buy on a
low one. What a high market is can
readily bo ascertained. Waiting for
top notch prices liua often resulted in
heavy losses to those who would in
the end have made more if they had
boon contented with obtaining moder
ately remunerative returns for their
investment and labor. It isnot
probable that the prices of wheat nnd
corn during the winter will fall to
anything like the figures of last sesson ,
The shortage of crops will prevent
this. But at the same time it must
Hot bo forgotten that there is a largo
surpluH remaining from last year's crop
and that the foreign demand will not
bo as great an was anticipated before
harvest timo.
OHIO holds her election to-day for
state officers. The result will bo
awaited with interest. No state con
tains a constituency HO open to argu
ment and less inclined to hold firm
within party ranks when local issues
are concerned. In national campaigns ,
when a full vote in called out , Ohio is
republican , but in general , "off years"
are moro "off" in that state than in
any other. The present campaign
has be-jn fought to a great extent
upon the personal merits of the rival
candidates for povernor , Foster and
Bookwalter. Mr. Foster has in times
past been extremely popular among
the "Buckeyes , " and Mr. Bookwalter
has the advantage of a largo income
and a clear record as > a loading manu
facturer nnd employer pf labor. The
president's death interfered somewhat
with the clotting of the campaign but
is counted upon to draw out a heavier
republican vote than if it had occurecl
earlier. There HCOIIIS little reason to
doubt that the state will give a sub
stantial republican majority in to-day'i
elections. Last year the secretary of
state received 10,000 over his compet
itor. Such a majority can hardly bo
looked for this year.
SKNATOII GOHHO.N , of Georgia , re
mgnod his scat in Washington hist
year with the remark tlmt ho could
imuo § ir > , COO a year outside of public
ollico , Mr. Gordon is now worth over
a million and is said to have made hia
two brothers and Governor Colquitl
worth the samu sum. Since his lesig
nation ho has organised the Georgia
Pacific railroad nnd sold it to tlio
Richmond nnd Danville extension
company , itself controlled by the
Pennsylvania company , for $700,000.
He still holds the presidency of the
Gimrgia Pacific and with his brother *
and Gov. Colquitt holds $1,000,000 of
Itichmoiid and Danville extension
stock and § 2,500,000 in the Georgia
Pacific. Gordon was given the charter -
tor of the Georgia Western unbuilt
railroad by the Louisville and Nashville
villo company , whoso counsel huvan
This charter gave Gordan the entrance-
to Atlanta and an outlook westward.
Ho at once obtained over 100,000
acres of coal land , muted on condi.
.ion that n rortl from Atlanta to the
Mississippi nliould POAS through them.
With thnso privileges the negotiations
with t'.io Pennsylvania company wore
easy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
lr is stated that "delicate political
considerations" complicate Prnitdent
Arthur's choice of a successor to Jus
tice Clifford upon the supreme bench.
It is difficulty to BOO why political
considerations should have any place
in the selection of n judic of the
Hiipicmo court. There is a growing
feeling in the ranks of both pnrlitH
that thu judiciary should be separated
as far ns possible from the disturbing
influences of partisan politics. Cus
tom has in tinu'3 pant dictated that
selections for vacancies in the court of
highest resort should bo made in such
a manner ns to prcservo the political
balance of that body , but factions
within party have never been recog
nized in tljo making of such appoint
ments. The "dulicato political con
siderations" which complicate Presi
dent Arthur's choice are likely to have
mi other foundation than the fertile
imagination of some hair brained
Washington penny-a-liner.
THKY never believe in doing things
by halves in Arkansas. The throe
youthful train robbers who boarded n
train on the Iron Mountain railroad
on the 22d of September have been
captured , tried and sentenced to sev
enty years each in the penitentiary.
Tlio people of the entire state consti
tuted thomsolTcs detectives in the
coso and were aided by the governor
and public officers to the utmost ex
tent of their power. It is unnecessary
to say that Missouri's border ruffians
are still at largo. Any remarks which
St. Louis papers may hereafter make
at the expense of Arkansas civiliza
tion will fall very flat upon the public
oar.
The Mississippi River Route.
Mew York Time * .
Perhaps the most important ques
tion connected with the general sub
ject of transportation is that of the
great tuturo route for carrying grain
from the upper Mississippi region , to
the sea-coast. Our I'reat strength as
an exporting nation lies in our capa
bility for the production of food sup
plies , nnd the bulk of our surplus for
years to como must bo drawn from the
vast tract drained by the upper trib
utaries of the Mississippi river. In
the call of the St. Louis Merchants'
Exchange for a convention to promote
the improvement of navigation on
that stream and its branches it is
stated that "within the area of states
and territories drained by the Mis
sissippi and its navigable tributaries
is produced 90 per cent , of the corn ,
7i ! per cent , of the wheat , 8.1 per
cent , of the oats , 01 per cent , of the
tobacco , 77 per cent , of the
cotton , and" * 00 per C2iit. , 'of
the live hogs of the whole coun
try. " These are the products which
make up n very large part of our experts -
ports , and the exchange of which for
foreign commodities constitutes the
bulk of our commerce with other
countries. Consequently , the route
which these take from the fields of the
interior to the sen-const for shipment
abroad will determine the points of
activity and of profit in foreign trade.
The ports through which they pass
will enjoy the benefit of handling and
whipping , and will have a strong hold
upon the traffic that comes to the
country in return. There is no likeli
hood that any ono route or any ono
port will monopolize the business , but
that through which it can bo carried
on to the best advantage will rapidly
gain an ascendency over all others.
New York owes its present position
to the circumstances of the post. The
settlement and development of tlio
western country proceeded Irom this
direction , and the moans of transpor
tation followed the advancing line of
population and industry to bring buck
their Burplim products. The Hudson
river and the Erie Canal gave Now
York a water connection with the
great hikes , and so with the grain
fields of the west , and the great sys
tem of railroads in its development
spread from this point westward.
During the dajs of slavery in thu
South , and these of the war and re
construction , an industrial barrier ran
across the country , turning thu course
of transportation to the east
ward from the upper Missis
sippi Valley. From these circum
stances ( ho ports of the North Atlan
tic coast , and New York in particular ,
have derived great advantages Now ,
however , the sectional barrier is re
moved , and the region of the Missis-
eippi valley is so far filled up that its
people no longer look back to the
eastward for an outlet for their pro
ductions. They aro' looking for the
most economical and profitable route
to the sea. They have discovered
that the Mississippi river and its
tributaries constitute a natural sys
tem of transportation by water which
him heretofore been very inadequately
utilized , and they nro inquiring
whether it is profitable to send so large
a proportion of their bulky commodi
ties to the Atlantic coast by mil or by
tortuoim'Jake , canal , and river routes
when the drainugo of their own val
leys seeks the Gulf through navigable
.chiinnolH.
The earnetncss with which this in-
quiiy is pi cased is calculated to rouse
these concerned In through lines ol
railway , running east and west , those
whose interests are connected with
canal communication from the lakes
to the'sea , and the sea-ports whose
prosperity ami growth are bound up
with thu business of sending the pro
ducts of the west to foreign markets ,
to new exertions for the protection of
their own interests. Tlio Mississippi
route threatens a formidable rivalry
which cannot bo regarded with indif
ference. It is tlio purpose of the
convention to urge a liberal national
policy of improvement for the Mississippi -
sippi river und its tributaries , where
by all obstacles to navigation nitty bo
removed at the expense of the whole
country. The Governor of Missouri ,
in resjvondin to thu invitation to uj
point delegates to thu convention i n
behalf of the State , intimates that
what is needed is an appropriation
which "will yivo ns six feet of water
from St. Paul to St. Louis , eight feet
from St. Louis to Cairo , and ten feet
from Cairo to Now Orleans , " with cor
responding improvement of the Mis
souri and Ohio rivers. This is fu bo
asked for nt the natipnnl expense , nnd ,
considering the political power wielded
by thu States whnsu interests are in
volved nnd the libeinl spirit in which
the Buhoino has already been enter
tained by Congress , it is not safe to
assume that it Will not bo granted.
At nil events , there can bo little doubt
tlmt all needed and practical improve
ment of navigation on thcso great
streams of the West will ha secured in
some way before many years have
passed.
AVhnt will tlio etlect bo on the
course of trndu and thu development
of the different sea-portH of the coun
try ? Sumo faint suggestion may bo
obtained from the recent growth of
the Mississippi trallio with nil the dis
advantages of nhoals and obstructions
at times of low water. Prior to 1870
thu export tradu by the Mixsissppi
river route amounted to little. In
18711 it was nearly 500,000 toim , in-
eluding over ti,000,000 bushels of
grain , and in J880 over 81.,000 ) tons ;
including more than 15,700,000 bush
els of 'grain. This year , from the
opening of inn igution in February to
the 1st of August , the shipments of
jrain from St. Louis to Now Orleans
included nearly . " , oOO,000 lninh-
els of wheat and 0,500,000
of corn. A singlu steamer with a tow
of barges has token on ono trip 150-
571 bushels of wheat and 130,544 bush
els of corn , with other freight , making
in nil over 10,000 tons. It is said tlmt
it would require CO trains of 20. cars
each to bring the same bulk of mor-
candiso to Now York by rail , nnd it
may bo calculated how many canal
boats of 240 tons each would be re
quired to take it from the lakes to this
city. Another statement made in this
connection is that such vast cargoes
have boon delivered in the elevators at
Now Orleans within the week of de
parture from St. ( Louis , and that all
the railroads runningeastward from the
Kama point could not deliver a'hke '
amount in amonth. St. Louis already
employs in this business eight eleva
tors costing $3,500,000 , and having a
capacity of 0,700OOObushels , while ad
ditions are being made with a capacity
of over 3,000,000 bushels. Barges al
ready in use are capable of carrying
5,000/00 bushels per month. Still
more signicant is the calculation that
in favorable- seasons , with peed navi-
igatinn , grain can bo carried from St.
Louis to New Orleans for 2i cents a
bushel , while it costsabout 22 cents to
bring it from Chicago to Now York.
Thcso nnd other facts demand careful
study in all their bearings from those
interested in railroads , canals , and for
eign1 shipping in this part of the coun
try.
