EDWARD RODDIS.
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

THK national debt oi Russia on th

Basidcs these means of relief al

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 <

The amount saved by his economic

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

Under such circumstances Queen Vie
