TUB BEE is the only paper in Ne braska that selects , edits nnd prints daily fresh miscellany. Its patent- bowollcd contemporaries believe in a very cheap economy. TUB statement is made in connoo I tion with the retirement of Genera Moigs and other army officers thai President Ilaycs "neglected to retire army officers liable to retirement be cause ho could not decide whom to appoint in their places. Mr. Hayes has explained that this was not tlio cause , lie often unid that the great services of General Jleiga in the wur could not bo overstated ; that they wore to bo ranked with those render ed by only n very few of our greatest generals ; and that , in view of those services , he could not consider ovoi the question of retiring him except at his own request. JOHN 0. NEW'H appointment as as Blatant secretary of the treasury , al though unpopular on account of Mr. Now's personal and''party unpopu laxity , is a good ono when viowot from the standpoint of the boat inter o < st * of thu service. As treasurer dur ing Gentrul Grant's administration Mr. Now gained experience in the workings of the department and since that time he has occupied himself in financiering , principally in conncctiot vrith the First National bank of In diaimpolifl. The friends of ox-Sena tor Paddock urged Ins uamo for the position now tendered to Mr. New , and the place would have boon given him if ho had felt inclined to accept the nomination. His rotusal made it possible to dispose of Now without filling the Ituuian mission , 'which till remains open for sotuo liigh minded patriot. THE SPECULATION IN PRO- DUOE. The breadstuff nnd produce mar- koU throughout the country are be ginning to feel the reaction resulting from the wild speculation of the past winter. Since the harvest ft clique of speculators hnvo succeeded in cor nering grain nnd porV in the great trade centers , and in running up prices to figures above these called Tor by the natural operation of * ho laws of demand nnd supply. Exports for four months post have steadily de clined , the high prices forbidding foreign consumption. The movement of grain to the seaboard was chocked oven before the close of the canal noMon , nnd millions of bushels of wheat and corn remained locked in elevators nnd warehouses while the bulls wrestled on the board of trade with the bears and Forced the price to a limit at which legitimate dealing became scarce because unprofitable. The extreme limit in price w&s reached about four weeks ngo. At that time on the Chicago b-ard it was quoted at ? 1 37 nnd has steadily declined since A decreasing confidence in the nbil- ty of the great operators to carry .heir holdings , and n consequent conservatism on the part of the banks n extending loans have assisted in wringing about a number of failures , and in forcing the general decline not ed in the market reports from 'change. Jorn and pork have sympathized with wheat in the general decline and show signs of still further weakness. The early spring nnd the prospects of an abundant harvest have aided greatly in bringing about this result. 3oliof that n largo surplus might prof- tably bo carried over to another har vest has acted in maintaining confi lenco and high prices. The mild weather which hai prevailed since the close of January has assured the farm- era of an excellent crop of winter sown wheat , nnd has enabled the own ers of the great wheat farms of the lorthwost to commence plowing long n advance of the usual sonnon. This means more ground biokon , n greater acreage than hist srnson , nnd n still more abundant crop. A further de cline in grain and provisions may yet )0 looked for. The European demand me practically ceased , and xho sur- ilus which could have boon worked off easily and profitably in the earlier lart of the season , must now bo car ried over or disposed of at very much ewer figures , to which must be added , ho expense of storage and warehous ing. I REFORM THE SIGNAL SER VICE. There is a strong movement in east- urn cities in favor of a radical reform n the Signal Service. This import ant bureau is now a dopendancy of ; ho War Department. Growing out of the military signal service which proved an important adjunct of the army in the late war , it's operations mvo since been extended to other lelds. The signal service of to-day has lit tle 'practical connection with the army. It's forces are used in enhancing the value of the pursuits of peace. It has confer red great benefits both on ngriculturo and commerce by its systematic obser vations of the weather. And its re markable value to mariners is attest ed by the praises of every chamber of commerce in the country and by the high oncoiiiums of the most distin guished foroigh sociotioH. Still is is capable of being raised tn a higher degree of oflicioncy. Its present con nection with iho army is a .hindrance to its development. It is a more barnaola on the army headquarters at Washington hampered in its operations by the connection , and adding nothing to the oflicioncy of the war department. It ought to bo placed in an independ ent position either outaido of the army or as a separate branch or corps. In this belief a largo number of gen tlemen representing the insurance , commercinl and other interests of Novr York , Boston , Providence - denco and Now Havun , have united iu eondini ; the following com munication to Hon. Alison G. Mo- Cook , rupresontativo of the Eighth codgressional district of Now York : Nu\v TOUK , February 4 , 1882. Hon. Ans-iii 0 , VcOo k , Home of HfiirwenU- tl > , Washlustcn , 1) ) . U : DKAH SIK Tlio undersigned , un- durwritors and merchants of the City of Now York , ask your particular attention to the [ importance of secur ing the permanency nnd success of the United States signal service. The great importance and incal culable benefits of this service to the commercial and agricultural interests of the country have already boon fully domonstatod , and the service is now regarded us n public necessity. The request iu made of you , as rep resenting the interests of this city the chief commercial and shipping port of the United mutes and in view of our experience of the practi cal benefits of the work to ourselves and to the nation at large , It is our opinion that this service should be established and maintained upon a permanent basis , and it is be lieved that thii can best bo drnu by establishing it as n separate branch or corps of the army , such as the En. glncer Corps or the Ordnance Corps It is also our opinion thnt auch np- nropdations should bo undo ns limy bo nooesiary to maiiit tin this branch of the publio Bcrvico at the highest point of tilicionny. The undersigned especially dt-pro cnto any want of cnre in permitting this service to fail or to bo embar rassed or crippled by want of proper support nt this important juncture of its progress ; nnd they respectfully uryo upon you nnd the other repre sentatives of this city , and the ropro- sentativcB of the State generally , to Hive their attention nnd boat efforts to guard nnd advance tlio interests of this service as one which lias done well nnd is deserving of support. WB received a number of letters yesterday from subscribers of TUB DAILY HIK : asking us to explain more fully just who will bo entitled to n premium. Others , who are paid two or three months in advance , want to know what they will have to do to re ceive n premium receipt. Wo now make ns clear as possible the whole matter. All delinquent subscribers who pay what they ewe and prepay for six months will receive a premium receipt. All now subscribers who prepay - pay for six months will receive n pre mium receipt. All present subscrib ers who have paid ono or more months in advance will bo entitled to a pre mium receipt if they remit enough more to make thorn propnid six months from March 1st , nnd all present sub scribers who remitted before the pre mium offer was made and are now prepaid for six months will be sent a premium receipt the same ns those who now remit. The full premium list will bo found on the seventh page. TWKNTV-THUEE different roads ar affected by Mr. Iloboson's resolution declaring certain railroad land grants forfeited for non fulfillment of their contract with the government. Of these , twelve are located in the south ern states , two in Michigan , thrco in Minnesota , two in Wisconsin and ono in Oregon. In addition to these there are the Nothorn Pacific , Atlantic & Pacific and Texas Pacific roads. The grant of the Northern Pacific is 47- 000,000 acres. Of this amount nearly one-half has boon earned. The friends of the Northern Pacific claim that the United Slates is committed to the completion of the road in case the company failed. They base their claim on a clause in the charter which npeci ficd that in-caso the railway was not completed within the time called for "tho United States by its conyrets may do any and all acts and things needful nnd necessary to insure its spredy completion. " It will bo diffi cult to force nny such mandatory con struction from the language quoted The Texas Pacific has a land grant of 18,000,000 , none of which has over been earned. The lands of the road Ho west of El Paso , at which point it joins the Southern Pacific. Unless further extended its line will bo entirely within the state ot Texas , from which it has a separate grant. As the Southern Pacific now occupies that territory and there is no neces sity for a parallel line to the Pacific immediately adjoining one already built the reasons for making the grant no longer exist and the government ought at once to reclaim it. WHY do not Nebraska farmers give more attention to the hay crop. The bureau of agriculture informs us thai in the year 1880 the value of the four most important crops in the country was ns follows : Corn , § 079,714,499 ; wheat , $474,201,850 ; hay , 8371,811- 084 , and cotton , $280,206,242. The value of the hay crop of Now York alone was $80,261.928 ; that of Penn sylvania , $44,728,704 , and that of the little state of Vermont , whoso entire agricultural product was only $18- 022,847 , amounted to the astonishing sum of $12,29.3,112 In Missouri the hay crop was worth $10,605,395. In the southern states this crop is strangely neglected. The yield in Vermont was only 1.08 tons per acre worth $10 40 per ton , while iu every southern state the yield was greater and the product worth more per ton The highest yield of hay per acre it the United States was in Texas , am the yield in every southern state was above the average , and the value of the crop par aero much above the value of the same crop north and west The greatest value per aero of the hay crop in any state was in Goorgi.i , whore it w.is worth $30. In Missour it was worth $12 94 per aero , while wheat was worth $11 03 and corn only $1012. Nebraska has unrivalled f cilitios for hay production. It hns never boon tested to an extent nt nl equal to its possibilities. Tt is curi ous that a crop so pleasant to handle and so profitable is not given a more prominent place in the catalogue o : of agricultural products. TUB postal cases in Lincoln have fizzled out through the failure of the government to prove the fucts as set foith ia the iiuli ttuouta. The whole performance on both sides has been a farce of the first order. The real of fenders have boon kept in the back ground , while two employes of the contractors have boon indicted ns principals with Postmaster Clary , in u conspiracy against the postal depart ment. On the other hand , we know whereof wo apeak when wo nlllrm that the defense have been using money liberally to influence public opinion through the press bj > means of attacks on Agent Furay , which liavo boon widely circulated through out Nebraska nnd Wyoming terri tory. THE BEE is not inclined to make itself the apologist for John IJ I'uray , whoso action _ in the Adams case was , to Bay the least , auspicious , xnd whoso nnmo has not been loft untouched by the tongue of n very common report as connected with a lumber of questionable transaction * . The animus in the present case , however - over , is clear. Charges from men un- lor indictment , or who ought to be , will not carry much weight with the general public. THE nomination of Hon. Kruno Tz'chuck ns Consul to Vera Cruz will received nith general satisfaction throughout the Statn where the high character and valuable services of our nto secretary of state are known and ippreciatcd. Mr. Tzschuck's ' nomi nation was decided upon in Juno by President Gariicld. The nssnaination of the president delayed action for the , iino nnd a personal fight made by Val entine against the Rending in of Mr. Tzachuck's nnnu1 led Secretary Blame o pass the nutter over to his suc cessor. President Arthur hns not ibnnitted the charge of nnti-atalwart- sm to bias him in the case , and No- Draaka obtains in Mr. Tzachuck'a nom- nation ono of the most important of our foreign consulates. IT is reported that when Mr. Mich ael Davitt was visited in prison at fortland recently he said that ho had not hoard anything of what wan pasz- ing in the outer world since ho was visited by the archbishop of Casnel last July. Thu first question ho put to his visitors , nnd which he asked with appnrontly very earnest anxiety , was whether any outrages wore occur ring in Ireland. On learning that there wore , ho exhibited much excite ment , and said : "From the moment I came back from America I set myself determinedly to stamp out conduct of that kind. As for outrages on brute beasts , those who perpetrate such crimes are cowards and miscreants. I know no punishment that would bo too severe for them. " English nc- counts of interviews with political prisoners must bo taken with n large allowance of salt. JunoE BI.ATCIIFORD is said to bo the coming man as successor to ex-Justice Hunt. Judge Blatchford is at pres ent on the bench of the Now York court of appeals. Charles Sowardan other New Yorker , is also mentioned in the same connection. "What are the Suffrage Laws In the United States 1. To tbo Editor of the Chicago Tribune. CHICAGO. October 9. As a demo crat , may I ask the favor of publish ing in Thu Tribune the results of an investigation of authorities on a sub ject that has recently attracted public attention in the newspapers of the northwest , namely : The question ol suffrage , and the qualifications re quired therefor. The question maybe bo narrowed down to ono point , namely : Can an unnaluralized person vote for a member of congress and for presidential electors ? From an investigation and consideration of the subject , I am clearly of the opinion that ho cm do BO in many states. It is a not infrequent error to suppose that cii izenship and suffrage are in separably joined together , and that the former is equivalent to the latter. Naturalization of itself confers no right of suffrage. The states have the exclusive power of fixing the qualification of voters at all elections. Prof. Parsons.says : Under the articles of confederation the general government could not ex orcise the power of naturalization , the state alone having thnt power. But as naturalization made a man a citizen , and a citizen of one state woe a citizen ot every other , it followed that any ono state , in any way that it thought proper , might invest a for eigner with all the privileges of citi zenship in every other state. The in convenience of this was so obvious that , when the constitution was formed , no objection was made to giving to the United States the exclu sive power of naturalization , Citizenship of itself gives no right of BUtfrago. That must depend Upon the law of the state whore he resides , the constitution having left to the states this power ; and 'each state pro scribes its own rule , or has its own law , of suffrage. Thus , a foreigner coining to Miisiaohuso'ts ' , and residing there , may bo naturalized and thus become a citizen of the United State : and of thnt state , and live there al his life without the right of.aulfrngo , unless ho loams how to rend the con stitution in English nnd write his own name. Muny believe that the qualifications required in order to vote for ropro sontativoa in congress are different from thosu required in voting for rep rcscntntives in the legislature of the sbte. This is simply n mistake , ns will bo soon by reference to Art. 1 , Soc. 2 , of the constitution , which is in these words ; "The house of. representatives shal ! bo composed of members ohoucn every second year by the pnoplo of the several states ; and the electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisit foreloctorsof the most numerous - ous branch of the st.vto legislature. " As to Mio election of proiilenlial electors , the constitution , in Art , 2 , Soc. 1 , Clause 2 , provides : "Each state shall appoint , in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct , a number of electors equal to the whole number of sonatorn and representatives to which the state may be entitled in the congress. " Those electors choose the President1 nnd Vice President of the United States. If there bo no State legisla tures , there can bo no presidential electors. The electors of the State legislatures are created and qualified and under State constitutions nnd State laus , The Supreme Court of the United States , in Minor \s. Unpporautt , 21 Wallace , 170 , says : "Tho United States 1ms no voters in the States of tu own creation. The elective officers of the United States nro all elected directly or indirectly by State voters. " In the United Stntes vs. Cruikslmnk , 2 Otto , 555 , the Supreme Court re- nlllrm the doctrine in these words : "In Minor VR. Ilapporaott , 21 Wall. , 178 , wo decided that the Con- ( dilution of the United States has not conferred the right of suffrage upon nny ono ; and thnt the United States Imvo no voters of their own creation in the SUtcs. In the United States vs. Ueoso et il. , supra , jingo 214 , wo hold that the Fifteenth Amendment hns invested the citizens of the United States with anew constitutional right , which is , exemption from discrimina tion in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race , color , or previous condition of servitude. Fr/im tins it appears that the right of null rage is not a necessary attribute of National citizenship ; but that exemp tion from discrimination in the exer cise of that right , on account of race , etc. , is. The right to vote in the States comes from thu Stntos ; but the right of exemption from the prohib ited discrimination comes from the United States. The first hasnotboon granted or secured by the Constitu tion of the United Stntos ; but the last has been. The several ntatea have prescribed in their state constitutions the qualifications for the exercise of the right of suflrago by an unnaturnli/cd foreigner who haa de clared his intention to become a citi zen. Under the constitutions of In diana , Florida and Oregon , if ho has resided in the United States ono year , and in the state six months , and has legally'declared his intention to become a citizen ot the United States , ho can vote at all elections. In Alabama , Florida , Kansas , Wis consin , and other states , n residence of on year in the state is required , in addition to his declaration of inten tion to become a citizen. In Massa chusetts , u foreigner must have his final naturalization papers , and , in addition thereto , he must reside in the state two years after he has boon naturalized , and be able to read the constitution in English , and write his own name. In Hliodo Island a for- eignnr must bo a naturalized citizen , and also an owner of real estase. In Connecticut full citizenship is re quired , and the voter must bo a man of good moral character , and be able to read any article of the constitution. In Vermont citizenship is required , and also that the voter shall be of a quiet and peaceable behavior , and take a prescribed oath to give his vote .is he shall judge will moat con duce to the best good of the state. I think it is clear that the light of suffrage is exclusively conferred and regulated by the states , and that con gress hns no right to prescribe the qualification of voters. In fact , there can be no voters except those made by the several states. Another common mistake is , that , because a man is a lawful voter , there fore ho is eligible to office. In almost e/ery state citizenship is one of the requisites to qualify for holding office. The first clause of the first seqtion of the Fourteenth Amendment to the constitution roads as follows : All persons born or naturalized in the United States , and subject to the jurisdiction thereof , are citizens of the United States , and of the state where in they reside. The supreme .court of the United States has decided that The phrase , "subject to its juris diction , was intended to exclude from its operation children of minis ters , consuls , and citizens or subjects of foreign states , born within the United States. This decision deposes of a large number of cases involving the ques tion of the right to vote of persona born in Illinois or other states , whoso fathers were subjects of foreign states , nnd never became citizens nt the United States. The fact of being born in the United States does not make auch persons citizens or voters. JOHN Congressional Districts. Western Nibmekun. Some of our exchanges have a hankering that our state , when dis tricted into congressional districts , should run from east to west , making Douglas , Sarpy and the counties north of the Plntto to the western state line , ono district for instance. This won't begin to do , gentlemen. It would bo better to elect the congress men irom the state at large. West ern Nebraska could not faro worse and in the hurdy gurdy race might do much bettor. The interests of the cast and west ends nro too diverse and varied for anything like harmony to exist in the selection of men to properly - orly represent these extremes. It would bo better and more consistent to unite contingent territories or counties , like Douglas , Sarpy , Soun ders , Lancaster , Cass , Ofoo , Nemalu , "Richardson , Johnson , Pitwnoo , etc. , say for ono diatrict , and Hall , Bufi'alo , D.iwson. Plielpa , Ouster Sherman , Lin coln , Keith , Uliejenno and Sioux counties for another. This district would be the largest in area in the state and nearly allied in interests. In the now deal Western Nebraska asks for n fair hearing , She protests against bring tacked onto the crowded counties of the eastern part nnd vir tually shut out from a voice in choos ing her representative. The talent of the west end is equal to that of the onst. Oivo us thu opportunity and we will put into the field , if he can bo prevailed on to allow Ins name to bo used , a candidate of our own choosin ? , ono of splendid abilities , thoroughly conversant with our wants and needs , and one who would have been in con gress ore this had it not boon for the machinations of pretended fricndo in the eastern section. A more suitable representative man cannot bo found in uur Mate. Loato thutoveutorn in terests to themselves and Western Ne braska will develop with a rapidity heretofore unknown. ALMOST 01UHY. How often do wo see the hardworking ing father straining every nerve and miiaclo , and doing his utmost to sup port his family. Imagine his feelings when returning homo from a hard day's labor , to find hit ) family pros trate with disease , conscious of unpaid doctors' bills and debts on every hand. It must bo enough to diivo one almost crazy. All this unhnppinesa could bo avoided by using Electric Bitters , which oxpul every disease from the system , bringing joy and happiness to thousands.
