TIIK Republican has suddenly dis

used to the inconsistencies of the He-
publican.
TIIK BKIJ urges upon the citi/.uns of
Omaha to study each for himself the
problems connected with the paving
question. The paving of our streets ,
the methods by which funds must be
raised to pay for such work , lire ques

THE AOniCDLTUBAIj BUR
EAU HUMBUG.
Considerable pressure is being
brought to bear in "Washington to
make the commissionnr of agriculture
n cabinet ofliccr and the department
over which ho presides ono of the reg
ular portfolios with all the dignities
and privileges attached to oilier cab
inet positions. Wo are afo in saying
that the farmers of the country
neither endorse or desire any such
clmnge. The small amount of practi
cal benefit which our ngricultural
classes have up to the present
time received from the con
gressional seed bureau 1ms been pur
chased at an extravagant cost ,
and caused the spoiling of a great
amount of white paper in the govern
ment printing ofllco. The conscrvo-
tories of the bureau have furnished
material for innumerable senatorial
bouquets and floral dccoialions at the
White House. This is about all the
good they have accomplished , while
the seed farm lias alibi ded con
grcflsnion opportunity to remember
their constituents with seeds of Dutch
cabbage which wouldn't sprout , nnd
Uuta Unga turnips which refused to
turn. So far as any practical benefit
has been derived from the ponderous
essays of Lo Duo and his predecessors ,
it has principally been to the paper
mill where they in nine casc.s out often
ton have found their last resting
place ,
The argument that the dignity of
agriculture demands ti cabinet port
folio is a piece of demagogy which will
not find much support from roul farm
orn. No ono denies the dignity of agriculture
riculturo but those who best feel it
nnd acknowledge it , talk nbout it the
least. If there are any practical reas
ons why the head of the government
seed farm should have a scat around
the president's table nnd draw a cabinet
not officers salary they must bo ground
cd on some firmorbasis than mere- bun
combo.
Every branch of honest labor is dig
nified by the.mem . who follow it. lint
because a machinest may dignify 1m
profession , or a grocer his trade there
is no sound reason why wo should
have n secretary of machinery or n
secretary to preside over a department
of canned goods. Every interest jf
the government can bo satisfactorily
protected by the departments already
constituted if they are properly ad
ministered. The real reason for the
proposed elevation of the agricultural
bureau lies in the ambition of each
commissioner to hold a bettor title
and larger paying position , nnd not in
any demands of our fanners for n
more suitable recognition'of the value
and dignity of their Ufa work.
SURPLUS REVENUES AND THE
< TARIFF.
, The old time controversies over the
taril ) ' which reached their height in
the days of Clay , Webster , ISonton
and Calhoun are likely to bo more
vigorously renewed during the pres
ent session of congress than at any
time since the outbreak of thu rebel
lion. The immense drain upon the
treasury during the period from 1801
to 1805 made all discussions relative
to a low tarilfout of the question and
the ononuous public debt with which
the nation found itself saddled at the
conclusion of the war has assisted in
relegating tarill' reduction to the back
ground of other more pressing and
important topics.
A number of elements must eater
into any debute upon tarill'readjust
inuiit through the present congress.
It is n question to what extent out
revenues must bo maintained and tliit
in turn depends largely upon UK
rapidity with which our interest bear
ing debt is to bo extinguished , our internal
tornal revenue receipts diminished ,
and far-reaching schemes of internal
improvements prosecuted. All these
matters interlink and have their par
ticular advocates and opponents in
congress. The south is strongly ii
favor of a repeal of a petition of tin
lax on spirits and. tobacco , while nl
thu same time she is unanimous in hoi
desire for an improvement of th )
Mississippi river and its tributaries
which will make huge drains upon tin
treasury. The extreme protectionist
also argue that if any reduction of tin
revenues of the government in undo
consideration the internal rovenn
should bo diminished without interfering
foring with the customs duty. Thi
idea was formulated at thu late Chicago
cage tnrill' convention , and meets th
viowa of n largo portion of the northern
orn manufacturers. Added to thi
u largo purtion of the south and wcs
favor some reduction in the impost
laid on imports , and it ean readily b
seen how complicated a question eoi
groiis has to deal with and how in
possible it will bo to uocuro any purel
partisan vote on either side in a di
termination of thu subject.
Taking all the circumstances inl
consideration , Senator Merrill's ' bi '
for u tin ill'commission jH likely to a
cure favorable action from emigres
principally because its postpones fin
action for come time on a troubU > son
question. It is understood that tl
at principal work of such a eommissk
in will bo to consider the stale of tl
government surplus revenues , tl
ill probable future demands upoiu the
for debt and interest payments ui
it internal improvement * , and to formi
late a plan by which , if no enor
tariff reduction is decided upon , some
system of a better equalization of
duties can be secured. Up to the
close of the last fiscal year the surplus
revenue of the government won1 in
excess of $100,000 more than the cur
rent expense. At the present rate of
8105,000,000 , per a.inum the entire
interest-bearing debt of the nation
can be liquidated in ten years. It is
a serious question whether this rapid
liquidation of our debt should bo con
tinued , or whether , if Iho proscnl
tariff nnd domestic taxes are contin
tied , some of the revenues shall not
bo diverted toinlernal improvements.
The nation now spends an
nually about $12,000,000 on
itfl rixora and harbors ,
largo portion of this sum
devoted to improving unimprovable
breaks and drudiring nut impossible
harbors. With ca eful and discrimin
ating appropriations for improving the
channels of our great national high
ways and encouraging such plans for
chcaponcning internal transportation
by water , there is litllo doubt that our
country within twenty years could bo
adranced a century in its public works
and our entire interest bearing debt at
the same time extinguished. This can
only be accomplished by maintaining
the tariff , although in an equal
ized form and by continuing
the taxes on tobacco and
whisky. This ia likely to bo the re
sult of the deliberations of any com
mission which will bo appointed witl :
a view to the equalization of the tariff.
No radical changes in the existing
scale of duties need bo expected from
the present temper of congress or o
the country , which sooins to becoming
more and more committed to a taril
policy under which manufacturing in
dustrics have so steadily grown.
CLEAR TBE TRACK.
The attempt of the Union Pacif'n
to monopolize the entire river fron
and all the approaches that lead to
the business cnntro of Omaha must b <
resisted at all hazards. Every rail
roud that desires to enter Omaha a
competitor for our patronage mua
have access to our river front , am
should bo accorded equal fncilitic
with the Union Pacific for receiving ,
handling and shipping. Unless everj
railroad that centers in Omaha can
enjoy the facilities which arc abso
lutely necessary for conducting its
business , Omaha must give up all her
aspirations of future growth. To al
low ono railroad to blockade every
avenue to our business centre would
be commercial suicide.
Omaha ban been recklessly liberal
t ward the Union Pacific. She has not
only donated the grsator portion of
the vast and valuable tract which is
coyorod by the machine shops , depot
grounds and side tracks of that com
pany , but she has allowed the Union
Pacific to close and occupy many
streets and alloys. Among the streets
closed and occupied by the Union Pa
cific is Ninth street , one of our prin
cipal thoroughfares , and other streets
of lesser importance. While there is
no authority in law for closing any of
our streets , much less for their occu
pancy , our pcoplu have patiently sub
mitted to those impositions on the
part of the Union Pacific ,
The time hna come , however , when
further submission becomes criminal.
During Iho past two years the Union
Pacific anaconda 1ms wound its iron
coils around Omaha stealthily , nnd
more than thirty miles of side-trailH
- have been laid down in our streets
nnd alloys , ostensibly to accommodate
wholesale dealers , lumber yards and
factories , but in reality for thu pur-
lioso of completely inclosing the business -
ness centre in a network of Union
Pacific trauku and excluding
every other railroad from approach-
in ; ' that part of the city
And when another roiul that hai
never asked u cent or received a fool
of ground from Omaha undertakes tr
: purchase clopot grounds , and asks tin
privilege of laying a sido-lrack througl
a street adjacent to these grounds , tin
Union Pacific attempts to play tin
dog in the manger , nnd asks the cit ;
council of Omaha to aid them ii
obstructing the approaches to tin
competing road. Will the cpunci
lend it.ielf to such a disreputable
scheme , and will Mayor Uoyd npprovt
an ordinance to give the Union Pa
cillc the unheard of privilege to cut ito
competing road out of Iho npproachei
to its depot gruumlti ?
It strikes us thu time has nrrivci
for Omaha to call a halt on this ut
tempt to blockade our commerce. Lethe
the command bo issued by our cit ;
authorities to the Union I'acitio t <
clear thu track and letall the railroad
that desire to compete for our trail !
have ail equal olmiu-o in the use o
our streets and alloys. Lot thes
roads if need be
share the expense n
such side tracks and make thorn ac
to vessible to all the roads alike.
'ill This is the case in Kansas City
to whore fifteen railroads enter over on
ss , bridge , and all have access to th
ml warehouses , factories , packing house
no and stock yards on the river front
ho If each of those fifteen roads had t
on bo accommodated with separate aid
ho tracks through the lower portion o
ho Kansas City there would not be roon
Mil enough for half of them.
lid If Omaha is to accommodate ill threads
IIIml roads that will converge in this cit ;
ml within the ncU ten or twenty year
she must clear the track now and
adopt a just and equitable rule that
will govern nil the roads alike so
far ns our riverfront nnd our streets
and alloys are concerned.
WHATKVBU "strained iclations'
General Kilpatrick may have caused
between this government and Chili
his funeral services attested in thu
strongest possible manner the respect
in which ho was hold at Santiago , and
the cordial feelings entertained for
him by the Chilian government as the
representative of the United States.
The funeral ceremonies ordered by
Chili were the most imposing over
witnessed in Santiago , nnd wore con
ducted by the secretary of state , the
French minister and the dean of the
diplomatic corps , the president of the
Chilian house of representatives , and
the consul general of the United
Stairs Mail advices to the Chilian
minister in Washington state
<
that the funeral services were
held in the cathedral , the largest
church edifice in Santiago , the
requiem service being performed
by the Bishop of Guadavilla. The
moss wns preceded by an oration.
When absolution was given the body
waa escorted to the cemetery by live
regiments of Chilian troops , members
of the fire department and a largo
procession of private citizens. At the
grave Senor Balmcceda , foreign mm
ister , Senor Almcnporte , nnd Mr.
Hillman , an old friend of Gen. Kil
patrick , delivered brief orations , and
closed the civil ceremonial ordered by
the government. Sentiments of pro
found grief and mourning on the
death of Gen. Kilpatrick appeared in
the Chilian press , nnd the Mercurio of
Valparaiso , ono of the leading jo r-
nals of Chili , published the day of the
funeral a five-column obituary.
Among the prominent persons attend' '
ing the religious services in the cathe
dral , which was filled to overflowing
wore the Chilian cabinet officers , the
presidents of both houses of the Chi
lian congress , and n delegation ol
members of both houses , nil the mem
bora of the diplomatic corps , n l.i
number of Chilian army and navy
officers and a number of officers o :
the United States steamer Alaska.
Corporate Wealth.
Now York Times.
The great corporations which con
trol the railroad property of this
country are in danger of bringing
themselves into direct ; antagonist !
with public sentiment and the powe
of the people. Mr.'Gollaway , of tin
Manhattan railway company of thi
city , denies having said that that cor
porotion has the legislature on ite
side , and the courts on its side , am
pays for its law by the year ; but i
matters very little whether ho said i
or not Many of those great corpora
lions have long acted on the assump
tion implied in the alleged remark.
They have in past years ,
when public attention was
not aroused on the subject
or was otherwise occupied , succeeded
very largely in shaping legislation to
suit their purposes , and of late they
have strenuously resisted , in this
state at least , every effort to restrict
their action within such limits as shall
secure the rights of these who deal
with them and conduce to the general
interests of the public. The courts
are compelled to interpret and apply
the law aa they find it , but much do-
polids on the manner in which suits
are brought nnd the way in which
they are conducted. Unlimited wealth
and the best legal skill can do much
to secure judicial results against
which narrow means and ordinary
talent can contend with little avail.
The resources of the former may
multiply suits , vary their form , trans
fer them from ono jurisdiction
to another , and produce delays
which are calculated to worry and
wear out less powerful litigants. Wo
are glad to believe that very few of
our judges are corrupt or subservient
to Iho influences which corporations
wield , but they must pass upon ques
tions in the form in which they are ,
whether the latter adequately srcuro
all rights and interests or not. More
, over , u single weak spot in the judi
ciary in speedily found out. One
t pliable judge may do mischief which
all his associates cannot undo ; or if
the power is in their hands they cannot -
not exorcise it unless the case ia
brought bofor them in proper form
ind manner. Poor suilors have little
chance in struggling against the
money and legal skill at the command
of the corporations , and most of them
will give up the light or keep out ol
it , submitting to wrong rather than
encounter the difficulty and expense
of obtaining redress.
Whether the corporations pay foi
their law by the year or by tin
"piece" id a matter of no consequence.
It is notorious that they obtain tin
very best of legal service and pay tin
highest prices for it. Lawyers obtain
princely incomes by attending to tin
iegnl business of those powtirful cli
outs. The learning and ability ol
thu best equipped nro at their com
inunil , and are sedulously applied U
promoting their interests. They are ,
therefore , enabled to go to the very
limits of the law in any direction thai
may suit their purposes , and lo avoit
by ingenious indirection , a trans
gression of Iho roquiremenli
where such transgression cannot b <
regarded as safo. To make a lega
contention with them is more thai
any ordinary cili/en is willing lo tin
dortako. Even if ho is sure the law n
on his side , ho shrinks from the expense
penso , Iho worry , and the uncortuinlj
of contending with such powerful ad
113 is thai
vorsarios. The consequence
es his rights and his protests are inon
. and more disregarded , and ho begun
it.to to doubt whether , indeed , the nm
chinory of justice is not , to all mtoiiti
lo and purposes , on thosido of the wealtl
of and power represented in the grea
111 corporations.
These vast aggregations of woaltl
certainly use their utmost power
10 wherever their interests are involved
to control the action of legislatures. 1
any part of the judiciary js suscopti
bio to their influence it is brought to
bear with its full force , and n judge
may do much to servo them without
transcending the limits of the discre
tion necessarily left to him by the law ,
But what are these corporations' ' Wo
are accustomed to attribute to them
purposes and motives and to speak of
them as unscrupulous , although they
are proverbially without souls
This is because they are
so largely under the control of a few
men , who have acquired enor
mous wealth In directing their affairs.
The circumstances under which the
railways of this country have been
developed mul the extent to which
they liuvo been permitted to grow up
without regulation or restriction ,
have enabled skillful nnd daring
operators the moro unscrupulous tlie
more successful to manipulate their
business nnd the traffic in their shares
as to bring into their own hands
enormous wealth and power. The
Vnnderbilts nnd Goulds and Fields ,
rather than the corporations regarded
merely us associations of numerous
stockholders , exercise the sway under
which the community shrinks. It in
thpy ho make war nnd peace among
railroads , put rates up and down ,
control tlio tides of the stock market
and profit by their rise and fair ; and
it i * they who trample upon the rights
of citizens and defy them to icek re-
dross. Greed for wealth and power ,
and a lack of the scruples which deter
other men , have given them their
peculiar success , and these continue ti
control their action. Nobody ques
tions the value of railroads to the
public or the necessity of the corpo
rate organizations by which they are
owned , but unless they are brought
under the wholesome control of law ,
whereby the rights of individual citi
zens nnd of the community at largo
can bo secured , sooner or later a con
flict will como between their power
and the might of the people which
will shake the very foundations of law
and order.
The California Southern.
an rrancltco Chronicle.
The California Southern railroad ,
which promises to revolutionize ) the
outhern part of California , is precood-
ng rapidly towards completion. The
San Diego Union announces that ar-
rangememls have boon perfected for
lies extension of the line beyond Col-
ion to a connection with the Atlantic
and Pacific at some convenient point
en the route which that road
may finally select. How far north
that will carry it is not at
rtresent known , but as the At-
antic anri Pacific is working on both
ijdes of the Tehachnpo pass , the junc-
lion will probably bo made scmowhcro
on the Mojave plains. The now
irrnntiemont is only carrying out the
low contract , S < in Diego having boon
rom the first considered as an ocean
erminus for the now overland route.
The extension has caused a reoix'an-
zation under the title of the ' Cali
fornia Southern llailroad Company , "
of which Thomas Nickerson is presi
dent and chief director.
Rails have already arrived at San
Diego sufficient to lay 105 miles of
track. Enough moro are afloat to
complete the road to Col ton , a dis
tance of 128 miles. About fifty miles
of track has been laid , leaving eighty ,
which it is thought will be completed j
by the 1st of March , or by the 1st of
April , at farthest. Vessels bringing
rolling stock enough to equip the
road are nearly duo at San Diego
which loads The Union to hopefully
say that , barring accidents , "every
thing will bo in readiness within a
few days after last the spike is driven
to put the entire roaii'in operation
which will place San Diego , over twc
routes , in connection with the great
railway system of the United States.1
The outlook for the southern parl
of the state , and especially for Sar
Diego , is excellent. That town has i
deep and capacious harbor , the onlj
ono worthy to bo called such along i
line of coast several hundred miles ii
length. To this harbor should natur
ally como not only all the rails am
rpllinc : stock needed for the construc
tion of the California Southern , bu
the railroad materials of all kinds re
quiiod for the western divisions of thi
Atlantic and Pacific. A great den
of inconvenient railroad trans
portntion would thereby bi 1
avoided , the two roads being closol ;
'
united by general interrsta. Dis'
tinccs will be shortened to thy north
era districts of Arizona and to Mcv
Mexico , and if the Central I'acifi
builda from northern to southern Xe
vada and Utah , na it promises , Sai
Diego will be put into direct cornice
( ions with these important region"
The town and adjoining country have
many natural resources to bo dovel
oped. By menus of its new line i
will bo put in connection with un ex
tensive railroad system , which in
eludes not only thn vfst network u
railroads in California , Orrgoi
nnd Nevada , but with tw
overland routes connecting will :
all points in thoMiesissippi valley ain [
all Eastern cities. Everything whic
Southern California produces will fin
its way easily to the great markets c
the country. .San Bernardino wi
share in this good fortune , gaining b
means of the California Southern
now northern and eastern connection
Los Angeles will also reap importan
benefits. A branch will probably coi
nect that city with the Californi
Southern at some not very distai
point , giving easy access to many mil
ing and agricultural districts whic
need her products , nnd supplement ! ! )
the demand created by the extensio
of the Southern Pacific to Souther

Congressional Districting.
I'latUmoutu Journal
In cnso the stale ) legislature shoul
be called ir. extraordinary session , ft
the purpose of making nn upportioi
inunt for congressional rojireauiitatioi
wo hope that the representatives froi
the South Platte country will make
proper etl'ort to have the first distrie
not oil' from the North Platte nortie )
of the state. The reason for this wi
JJ
he apparent on a moment's retluctioi
The pooplu of this portion of tli |
state ought to bo represented nccori
ing as their interests di
iiiiuid , without coniplieatioi
with Onialm or the country nort
of the Platte , while that part of th
state would doubtless bo just as mix
ous to free themselves from compile ;
tions of interest of n district the bed
of which was made up south of tl
Platte , while they occupied the pos
tion of a tail to ita kite. It would I
nn easy matter to avoid such a divis
ion as that contemplated by the bill
which passed the senate last winter
a bill which included Snrpy and
Douglas counties in the First district ,
aletng with Cass , Lancaster , Oleo , No-
ninha , Richardson , Johnson and
Pawnee counties. The consumma
tion of such n scheme would in
evitably result in dissatisfaction
on onu side of the Platte or the other.
It would bo far better to lake into
this district the counties of Lancaster ,
Gngo , Saline nnd .loflorson , than
Douslns , and Sarpy. In that case
Uio district west might bo made up
Ay adding the counties of Hnll , Mor-
rick , and these in the same tiers west
ward to the stnlo line , whcro the
crossing of the Platte is not so diffi
cult , and thus equalize the population
in the three districts This is a mat
ter of considerable importance to the
state for the next ten years , and it is
to bo hoped that it will receive the at
tention it desorWss when the legisla *
turo assembles.
THE BEE ANNUAL.
"Without a Poor In the State. "
Saline County Standard : The illus-
hated Annual Review of TIIK OMAHA
IJp.K for 1881 has been received. It
contains cuts of many of the promin
cut buildings of Omaha , and a complete
ploto review of the business done
there during the past year. The
enterprise and cni'njy of THE BKE bos
done much to advertise and help
make Omaha what she is , the metro
tro ) > olis of the west , and such n paper
as Tin : B n is a credit to both Omaha
and Nebraska. Asa live journal , full
of the latest news , THE DEC is without
a peer in the State. Its telegraphic
reports are the most complete of any
of the Nebraska dailies , and its cdito
rials are able ami timely. Its editor
has opinions , and he in not afraid to
express them.
