THE howl which a number of our
exchanges throughout tho'country'aro '

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

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

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

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.

TUB creation and growth of great

The revolt in the southern Slavoni-
in provinces is cxiiiing considerable
ilarni in Huropo. The European
cquilihiitim in balanced - < n nucli a
lender point that the slightest dis-
.urb.mco may precipitate a general
Hilitical commotion. The Austrian

The Gambotta plan for the revision
if the senate , which has been under
consideration by tbu committee of
thirty-thrco of the chamber of dcp-
ilies , and has been repotted unfa
vorably lo that body , will bo the
irincipal topic of discussion in French
political circles for some weeks lo
come , The plan includes the aboli-
.ir.n . of life sonatorships , leaving the
exiatintr hnldoru of them untouched ,
nd the substilution of a letm of nine
years. The life senators are now
elected by the senate alone ; those
low ones are lo bu elected by the two
muses in joint convention on the
Vmcricati plan. 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.
But a Sonatii which was org mixed to
irovont its over having a different
view would , on any theory , bo a fifth
wheel in the coach. The greatest de
tect of the now French constitution
soeniH to bo the caio with which it can
bo amended , for there in nothing in
politics the French need so much to
learn as the art of dtscnising things a
long while before changing them.
