The news of the death of Mr. Ed < ward Roddis , which occurred or Thursday morning at Albuquerque , N. M. , will bo received with Ronora regret in the city. For ton years pasl a resident of Omaha , interested in hoi growth and contributing to her com mercial development , Mr. Uoddis wui widely known and universally osloemot and respected. Mr. Roddis was n native of England , being born in Northampton in the year 1819. Ho caiuo to this countrj as a young mun and cottlod in Milwaukee waukeo , where ho engaged in the boo ! and pork packing business for a num her of years and won for himself * ar enviable personal and commoreia reputation. Owing to business re verses ho canio west some ton yean ago and settled in Omaha. As man aijer of Mr. Boyd's packing house , Mr. Uoddis assisted greatly in organ icing and building up the buslnosi until 1878 , when ho retired and witli Mr. Goonro Thrall founded tno pack ing house of Roddii & Thrall , with which ho was connected at the time of his death. Two years ago Mr. Roddis was looted to the city council , in which body ho served with that conscientious fidelity" to duty which was always so marked n trait of his character , A wide oirclo of friends will join with the cntiro community in extend ing their heartfelt sympithics to his family in their great sorrow. FASTER MAIL TRAINS. An cnrnnst appeal is made by the Chicago press for more rapid mail fa < cilitics between that city and the ad joining country , It is pointed nit that there is not a mail train Uavinj any of the depots earlier that sovci o'clock in the morning while Nov York merchants and newspapers an accommodated with trains leaving tin city at 4 a. m. , and furnishing earl ; and rapid communication witli a Inrg area of the neighboring states. Chic ngo is n postal center ranks SCCOIK only to Now York. She is the groa distributing point of the west and th commercial metropolis of the Missis sippi valley. While New York mcr chants under an excellent postal BVH tern are enabled to forward letters ti their customers and receive replies b ; mail on the same day Chicago is handi capped by the loss of from twelve ti fifteen hours through slow and lati going mails. The service botwooi Chicago and Omaha stands purlieu larly in need of reform. The earlios through mails leave Chicago at 12:31 : p. in. , and reach this city at 9:45 : 01 the following day. Letters mailct the night bofuro in Chicago for Onia ha and points beyond are compolloi to Ho over half a day in the postofHci entailing a delay whoso value in dollars lars and cents to the commercial in torcsts of the country would pay fo the cost of running suitable trains toi times over. The distance between Omaha am Chicago ought to bo made in thirtoei hours without difficulty. The Time says it would not bo unreasonable ti ask that Omaha should bo reached ii the evening of the day the train leave hero. The postofUco department owe to this city and to the northwest ti procure the dispatch of earlier inai trains on the great throuuh lines Lut it is not alone Chicago and thi northwest that is interested , Tin mail line from Chicago to Omaha i one of the great links in the trans continental mail service. If the titm between these two points is reduced or if the service is rendered earlier the way is opened for a reduction o the time of transporting mails fron points toast of hero to points west o Omaha. The city is not getting the attention from the poatoflico department tha its commercial importance entitles i to , and that some of the eastern citici are getting. The subject is earnestly commended to the attention of Messrs Aldrich , Farwoll and Davis. Mail uro now dispatched from there on thi earliest trains , and the required improvement provomont consists of the depart mont's inducing some of the roads t ( run earlier trains. That involves ox ponso.but the Chicago postoflico is oni of the most profitable in the country and that city has a good right to de inand that a little more of the monoj which the government makost lion should bo expended for its benefit. TUB railroad lobby in the lowi legislature have boon unusually strong and unscrupulous during the prcsonl session. On Wednesday a great son- eation was caused in the house by the exposure of a conspiracy in wljicli those gentlemen have had a finger and which involved the clerk of the house committee an railroads. During thi absence of the chairman a bill wai handed by the clerk to a member ol the committee , together with a rep or I purporting to bo signed by the com' mitoo and recommending its passage , After its introduction suspicion woe aroused as to the genuineness of the report , and by request the bill wis returned > turned to the committee. It was then found that the minutes of the clerk had boon made to conform with UK report , which was pronounced bogus by every member of the committee , An investigation of the case is now ir progress. The bill is a brief ono , ant is carefully and adroitly worded foi the purpose intended. It was introduced ducod by Senator Hall , of Burlington It amends section 1,001 of the code bj conferring upon railway companiof the power to increase their indebted ness to an unlimited amount , insteac stead of confining the same to a two thirds limit of the capital stock. Tin opponents of the measure claim il originated and 1ms been engineered by the railway lobby in the special interest torest of the Burlington , CedarRapidi it Northern railway , who confidor.tlj expected to got it through. Had the measure become a law , it would have enabled any company in the state t ( bond its road to such an extent thai Its revenue would not pay the interest thus reducing it in the scale of classi fication , when it cpuld charge reatoi rates for passenger and freight trans portation. RmiESKNTAl 1VK ANBFIiBON , ( i ! Kansas , has introduced a bill in congress gross to compel the Kansas Pacific road to take out patents for all un sold lands granted it by the govern , mont. The measure should secure . speedy passage , and its provision ! should bo applied to every land granl railroad whoso road has boon com. plotod. In the states of Nebraska and Kansas hundreds of thousands oi acres of the most fertile lands arn now exempt from state taxation , because owned by the railroad companies , and hold with no other certificate of title than an act of congress. Nebraska is robbed of many thouHands of dollars annually by the refusal of the 13mot Pacific to tnko out patents on the un sold portion of its land grant. Thi Farmers' Alliance has protcatci strongly against this gross wrong which increases the taxation of tin producers to enrich u gigantic mon opoly. Nebraska's senators have ai opportunity to distinguish thomsolvoi by [ making a united effort to romodj the evil. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS , At the conclusion of the last parliamentary liamontary session Mr. Uladston made the dcclaralicn that when h contrasted the character nnd ability c the house of commons with the sinal amount of legislation that they ncconi phsh ho felt that ho could no lotigo postpone some method for checkin the factious obstruction to businon which had disgraced the past session That his views have not changed dui ing the roco'fl is soon by thu introduc lion of u bill for "cloturo , " or closin the discussion , whose object is to prc vent what is known in congress n filibustering , and to enforce the rigli of majority rule. This BO callo "cloturo" differs from the call for th "previous question" as used in our dc liborativo assemblies. The proviou question may bo moved by any mem her at any time , and its adoption by majority puts the question to a vet without further debate. The clotur invests the speaker of the house c commons , or the chairman when tha body is sitting in committee , with th right to propose at any time that th mam question bo now put. This me tion is not debatable ; but in order fo its adoption , if there bo a division , i must bo supported by nnro than 20C or opposed by less than forty mem bors. This curious provision is aimc at the obstructionist faction of th Parnellito parly. Their avoran number on purely obstructiv votes is less than forty , am hence they will be rendered uttcrl powerless to delay the business of th house. In fact the rule as stated wil not , in practice , deviate very mucl from enabling n majority to onforc the cloturo. In a full house the min istry could not muster less than 20i supporters without defeat and resigns tion ; Mid the language of the rul gives 201 members or moro power ti shut off a minority of any size. Oi the other hand , the house of common is never full except on the occnsioi of important votes. Much of its prac tical business is done with less thai 100 members present. In such cases the opppsition could seldom commam forty votes ; and again the clotur could bo enforced against them. A this will probably bo the actual opera tion of the rule , it is not easy to soi why the cloture should not deponi upon a majority vote in the first place unless it is intended to have the BOO ondury effect of forcing a larger number bor of members in their places a most desirable commendation Other rules pressed for adoption restrict strict the right of members to maki dilatory motions in committee of tin whole , and liinits such right to on < time for each member during the debate bate on any ono question to movi either that the chairman do roper progress or that the chairman dt leave the chair. No member shall speak more than once to each separate rate motion , and no member who ha made ono of thcso motions may man < another motion on the same question Several other rules confer upon thi speaker or chairman on authority vorj dangerous and open to possible abuse to aliened members occupying tin time of the house with irrelevant mo tions or discussions. There ore als < proposals for select committees to con sider bills and questions * and to roper them to the house. It seems aston ishing that the house of commons with the affairs of an empire on iti hands , should have heretofore occu pied so much of its time with the dis cuBsion and sifting of details whicl standing committees dispose of. Th < proposedcommittees are to bo vor largo , consisting of from sixty ti eighty members , and are to takt charge of bills relating to law , trade , shipping and manufactures. Such h the essence of the changes in parlia. montary procedure which are now being agitated in England. It is most curious to observe that those which are really valuable are uncon. scious copies of American ins'itutions. Eleven years ago'Mr7 Gladstone declared - clared , in a public speech , that the Irish upas tree had three branches , which it would bo his endeavor to he\v off. The first was the church and state problem , the second the educa tional question , and the third the abuses of the Irish tenure system. History will record how faithfully and hotv manfully hu has followed out hia purpose , in the face of the most overpowering - powering obstacles. The government of Russia is becoming - coming alarmed the by universal con- ( tomnation which has boon expressed in all civilized nations of the persecu tion of the Jews in that country , and is about to publish a statement to show that it has taken steps to suppress - press the anti-Jewish mobs and riots , and punish the persecutors. The ox' plaimtion comes too late , however. The Jewish persecutions have been raging in Russia for nearly a year and the government has remained nupino until within a few weeks , Not a fortnight ago a call for a meeting al iho Mansion house , London , to con older the subject of the Jewish out' rages in Russia , signed by thinkers , writers , theologians and statesmen ol Great Britain , was denounced by the St. Petersburg organ of the Russiat government as an impertinent inter foronco. It is only lately that tin Russian iuvcrnmont ; has been nrouaoc to tardy and reluctant action by tin indigimi t protests of newspapers am Bt.itcsrncu v civilized countries. Thoio U n Mof some sort of gov orniTn-i. ' Liiiilg immediately estnb liehcd in Peru , which will suppres riot nnd anarchy and restore ordu and law. At present chaos seems t roipn supreme outside of the Clnlca military. In a collision of two band of irregular Peruvian troops at Chin doa , some forty or fifty foreigner were killed and property worth $8 , 000,000 destroyed. If these storic are Iriu1 , "interference" by the governments ornmonts to whoso countries thcs foreigners belonged will soon bo a : accomplished fact. The lives an property of American and Europoa residents in Peru must bo protccto at all hazards , and if neither Peru no Chili can do it , some other must. THK national debt oi Russia on th 1st of January , 1880 , amounted t 82,449,929,600 , of which $10,000,00 were usually cleared off each yeai In the last two years this debt ho largely increased , and it was only witl the utmost difficulty that $3,500,00 in gold was raised last December wit ! which to make a part payment of ho foreign interest. It is difficult fo oven skilled financial experts to un dot-stand the mystery of Russia ! monetary affairs , her resources am outlays being different from that o any other nation. Moro than once threatened crisis like the present ha been avoided by'seizing on the money belonging to the church and to chari ties , or to all individual depositors i ; 'banks ' , for the use of the government Basidcs these means of relief al pawnshops , loan and coinmorcin banks in the empire are now undo the control of the government. Sine the defalcation of ,25,000,000 rouble by the Nicholas fjjLj y , is proposei that all railways ahull also pass undo the management of the minister o finance. The present czar has set th example of rigid economy to his sub joots during the last year. Seven imperial porial palaces were closed , and thoi vast army of officials and servant turned adrift. Whether this wouli prove to be a popular move or not is doubtful. The enforced imprisonment mont , for fear of assassination , of thi imperial family , and the consequen almost total cessation of the customar gayeties and splendors of court , ' hav thrown thousands of workmen am manufacturers in St. Petersburg ou of work , which has not tended t < make the new czar moro popular The amount saved by his economic will not lift'a straw from the burdci imposed on the people , while the sti. and impetus given to trade by a central tral , lavish court is apt to bo over es timatcd by the illiterate masses. The value of Queen Victoria's presents onts to the poor last Christina amounted to over $1,500 , which wai divided among over 1,000 recipients She gave § 500 to the Royal Olothinf club also. There are numbers of moi in this country whoso Christmas gifti exceed those of Queen Victoria con sider bly , and nothing is said abou their charity" but the British papori conscientiously record every movement mont of her gracious majasty and thi entire royal household , and thus thii instance of extravagance on her pnrl became known. As she only receive ! $1,925,000 yearly oul of the treasury and has a paltry income of aboul $500,000 for the sale of eggs , buttei and other farm produce , she must exercise erciso the greatest economy le < t she might suffer from want. Her house liold expenditures are large ; she hat numerous children to whom the par lament only allow ubout § 500,000 c year , and none of those children arc self-supporting , but mainly depend upon their aged mother forthoirbrcad uid butter , clothes and pocket money. Under such circumstances Queen Vie toria can hardly bo blamed for nol giving the poor moro than she does. Returns of the late general election in Germany have been published , which show that in a population oi 15,234,000 , while about 9,000,000 were entitled to vote , only 5,300,000 exorcised this right of suffrage. Among parties the distribution was as bllows : Gorman conservatives , 807 , . 000 ; free conservatives , 393,000 ; liberals - orals ( including 700,000 national lib erals ) , 2,021,000 ; secessionists , 4 0- 000 ; progressists , 720,000 ; indepen dents ( "savages" ) , 140,000 ; the con- or , 1,149,000 ; the Poles , 190,000 ; ocial democrats,335,000 ; popularists , or south German democrats , 110,000 , nnd the Alsaco-Lorrainors , 150,000. Some notion of the cost in England f land transfers may bu gathered rom a letter recently written by a aw linn in defense of their profession gainst the charge of high fees.
