Tun free trade cry is very weak in the present congress. THE regents of the university Imvo put an oiul to the factionalism in thu faculty by requesting the resigna tions of three of the professors op posed to Chancellor Fairfiold's policy. This is n stnlwnrb way of dealing with the difficulty. "STOP this everlasting talk nnd go lo work" was the excited remark of Mr. Urigga to tlio New Hampshire legislature a few days n o. Mr. Brigga ought to be sent to congress. There would be plenty of room for bin gospel on the floor of the house of representatives. Scovn.u : presents to-day n bill of exceptions , asking for anew trial for Guitcau , on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction in the District of Colum bia to try the murderer of President Gnrfiold. It is safe to say that if pro ceedings had been begun in New Jersey the gallows scone would have been concluded some weeks ago. Nr.w developments of Jay Gould's judicial purchase on the New York bench continue to be made by the Now York Times. The disclosures nro said to bo startling the entire atato. If they startle the state legis lature into enacting suitable IHWH for the protection of the people against unscrupulous stock gamblers , they will not bo thrown away. "I JUKI : a special appeal to the ladies of America to como to my reflcue.

THE now Brooklyn charter in re ceiving its first test under the mayor alty of Mr. Sotli Lowo. 15y it's pro visions all rosponsibilty and power is concentrated in the hands of the mayor , and he is the real executive head of the city government. Within a few days Mr. Lowe , who is n young man of excellent commercial educa tion , elected outside of the party lines , will bo called upon to select his UouteimntB. lie will appoint commis tuonore of police , fire , city worka , health , buildings and excise , as well tut fill other olticca. His HUCCOBS will go far towards provhi ? the merit of A system which certainly requires at its head a man of unusual honesty and executive ability to administer it. THE howl which a number of our exchanges throughout tho'country'aro ' making over the probable udmiBsion of Mr. Cannon as delegate from Utah aeoms to bo founded on little more than prejudice. Ho far us the facts in the .case are concerned Mr. Can- lion appears to have every legal ad vantage over his opponent , and it i not surprising that the committee on elections nan decided to give him thu oat in the house fur which ho is the cpntestant. The contest doua not -necessarily include thu of polygamy. The claim nuulo -against Cannon was that ho is ineligible by reason of mm citizenship. If investigation of "this charge proves it groundless ho ougl to bo admitted. Polygamy can bo dealt with from another , stand ] > oin "entirely. If it is decided that Mr Cannon in n nulf- confessed otlundi against a national iriadito congr&ii hnr the power to debar him from ti sea on this ground. Jlut unlem * ( ho tout ) of AVoflhington society has greatly im proved within the past sJiuiiionlhs ucl a proceeding implied to thu IIIUHH o ; confcr'uBsnieii Mvvuld * loiyiril ' lions villi a rather scanty quorum , WAGON BRIDGE. Omaha and Council Hlulfs want , and ought to have , a ungon bridge to con- icct the two towns , but how can they invo n wagon bride , unless it bo a n'gli bridge , or suspension bridge , across a navigable river like the Mis- flouti unions it can bo built in coiinco lection with a railroad bridge ? A "draw" wngon bridge over such a perilous stream with n shifting bed as s the Missouri 11 one the things which our iunor.inco of engineering ( Iocs not rnablcs us to imagine. The first thing is to got another railroad bridge and built a wagon bridge on it , if xissiblo. ECOII in this case the rail < md hridqc would have to bo a high Bridge BO as not to hinder the pauage of boats , and so far as our > osfc ellbrt to ( jot knowledge upon the subject liavd Rene , wo know of no railway company which would , liink of building another high briduo with the necessary approaches at this 'loint. Toktiowlnw a low railroad > ridge and a wagoti bridge could bo nado to operate together wo should jo compelled to consult the engin eers. eers.But the trouble 'in to got the other railroad bridge. This is the lirBt step. It is not our belief that either .ho municipal atitlioritiiM , or the citi- r.ein of Omaha , or both togo thor , will tjuild either a high or low railroad bridge ur.tU they can find an Iowa railroad company to ruti its trains oyor it after it is built , and even were the fact otherwise it is not likely that tur good Twin brethren and ( listers over the river would join us very luartily in that kind of an undertak ing. Omaha Herald. ' Nobody hereabouts will bo stir- iriHod at the attempt of The Ilorald , o throw cold water on any nchomo to Miild a wagon bridge across the Mis souri , Well informed people have known 'or Bomo time pant that Dr. Millorhaa i direct income from the U P. bridge nonopoly as a silent partner , with Mr. Wells , contractor of the bridge ransfor , with a third silent partner n The Omaha Republican con- corn. Hut why should Thu Turald make the abntird assertion hat a wagon bridge between Omaha mil Council Binds must be n high tiridgu and a railroad bridge. More ban a dozen draw-bridges i span the ho Mississippi at points whore more Ueamboatu pist in a single wuok luring the seanon of navigation than MISS up and down the Missouri at this ) oint in a whole your. There nro low > ridgcs at Atchimm and Leavenworth used both for railway trains and cams. What obstacle will a low jriilge encounter at Omaha ? During ully nine mouths of the yeer the Iraw need not bo opened a Mingle imu , and during May , June and July .here . will hardly bo an average of more .ban three bouts up or down in any week. AH a matterof fact the bridge charter ) f the Union Pacific requires the con struction of u wagon bridge in cornice- ion with thu railroad bridge , but ) ninha and Council llfufla Imvo been , latiently waiting fcr tun years for that jridgc to be built. ' After BtibmiUing 6 the moat outrageous imposition that lias ever been practiced on any coin- mini ty in this or any other country , ; he business men of the two citiea have como to the conclusion that the Lord 9 U lolps those who help themselves. Wo iroHiimu they are sorry their project will interfere with Dr. Miller's income , ) iit they would rather pay coiifioqiioii- hl damages than give up the scheme ) f a wagon biidgo. , TiiK attacks on thd free pass system on railroads continue frnu varioun luartoru throughout the country. In Iowa thu lower house of the U'giula- turo by u vote of tKJ to 40 has passed a resolution , introduced by Mr. Aid- rich , requiring the railway comiuiiwion of the state to re-port to thu house by February 15th- whether free passim over railroads should bo given to any elans except paupers , iiiundicautH or other objects of charity ; whether pur- .sons elected to ollice , members of thu preen nnd of political conventions should be allowed to accept thcso favors und whether thu railroads should bu piohibitud from grunting them. In our own statu the Furmurii' Alliance lmn raised itn voice against this evil in ono of their strongest roHolutious. Ohio i moving in thu matter through her legislature and the anti monopoly league is bringing strong influence to bear upon its mumburH in Albany , looking to a prohibition of the prac tice in Now .York . , state. The fruo pass system ii used by ( ho railroads iw cheap form of ollici.il hriluiry. Whether given | o a member of thu legialaturu , n senator or under thu veil of courtesy ciiiil ( | valno in in cvory case oxpcctud in return. The mere HOIISO of por.somil obligation incurred is no small Height on the balance when u niuglo votu may du cidu n matter involving thousands of dollars for the corporation who has extended thu favor. Tlioro are no good reasons why slate loyittlatora and federal officials should hot p.iy their faro'on the railroads.

TUB creation and growth of great monopolies is one of the most alarm ing fcatutod of the present ago. The spirit of monopoly docs not eccni to confine itself to any 0110 line.

Ho proposes also to , ako away from the senate the power if passing on money bills. The ob- ccl of all this reform is to bring the lenato inlo accord with the asaombly , or in other words to prevent its opposing the aisumbly. This can Inirdly fail before long to raise the | Uention. What is the use of the Senate ? The object of a cucond chamber b on the extreme conserva tive view , to give either propoily and tge or some corporate orginization teprenPiitition in the legislature in the belief thut it will sometimes takn i dill'oront view of the public ( pica- ion from the lower hou.se , ami thus tt least so tire delay and deliberation.
