The announcement is made on what Is regarded as good authority that , , President Arthur has decided to ap- . joint Henry M. Teller secretary of the interior. This choice , wo are told by the agonc of the associated press , ' -was made first , because Mr. Teller has boon a warm supporter of Conk- ' ' ling with two presidents Ho m voted against Morrit's confirmation when Arthur was removed from the Now York custom house by Hayoi , and ho also voted against Robertson's .confirmation last spring. Second Because the president do- --siren to place aPacificcoastman nttho head of the interior department , and "Colorado being identified in interest m with the Pavifio coast , would render Teller an avilablo man. Lastly , Because Toller's appoint ment will bo favorably received kby the great railroad interests of the west , particularly the Union and Kan- / . QS Pacific. This statement places Presidont.Ar- thur in a vory"diBcroditablo'.lighY _ before - fore the American pooplo. Nobody will dare question President - ' ' dent Arthur's right to fill his cabinet > ' "with men that are in perfect accord * with him on all political issues. f ITobody can justly .find fault .with him for girlng" recognition to the arc ; tion west of the Missouri in his cabi net. But the country will view the choice of Mr. Teller in the Interest of , the railroads with grave concern. President Arthur knows enough to know that the interests of the great railroads and especially of the Union it.Knnsas Pacific must clasirwith the interests of Uio United States. Presi dent Arthur knows that the , control of the interior depart ment by these giant monopolies with their immense land plants would jepordizo the intuicsta of the ' people of the United Slates , Prihi- "clonCXrlhur * oujrht , fir know that llenry MTTollor , wno for y7ais has been the Colofado attorney for the Union Pacific , would bo a very unsafe > man for the section of which ho is chosen as special representative. Instead - stead of gratifying the people west of the Missouri , whether on thin side of the Rockies or on the Pacific coast , / " the appointment of Teller would bo resented as an outrage. This man ' , Teller was foisted on the people of , ' # " Golorado as Senator by the railroad v > . 'influence ' , but the railroads know that ff * ' v he can never bo re elected. > iG. > gSuJ His career in the uonate has been iliat of a patronage broker , jobbei and railroad capper , If Sargent wet objectionable oil account of his record - ord , Teller Is more objectionable. The constitufioir requires the presi dent to advise with the senate in making appointments , but the consti- ution does not require , nor oven contemplate - template , that ho should consult the t \ * / railroad corporation * * " choosing hie \ ' * * cabinet. If the railroada are to die- W | f ' tatb who should sit in his cabinet they may as well dictate the decisions of court. our supreme FIVE states will hold elections dur- ng the coming spring and summer. Jho first election of the year will take place in Rhode Island on the first Wednesday in April. A full line of state officers , including the governor , and legislature will bo elected. The republicans have an overwhelming majority of votes. Oregon holds an election for governor and state legis lature in Juno.rliio legislature to bo chosen will elect a United States sen ator in the place of Leonard Orovor , democrat , whoso term expires in 1883. Oregon wont for Qarfiold at its lost election , and it is believed that the coming contest will result in a republican publican victory. On the first Monday in August , elections will bo hold in Kentucky and Alabama. Kentucky elects a portion of the legislature and a clerk of the court of appeals. When Ken tucky gees republican the event will bo apt to excite some comment Ala bama , which is nearly aa strongly democratic , olocta n governor and a legislature which will cheese a United States senator to succeed John F. Morgan , democrat. Tcnnessoo holds her state election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday. A governor will bo elected and a legislature which will choose a senator in the place of Isham G. Harris. Tennessee now has n republican governor , anc oa party linoa have boon Tory much broken in the contest over the state debt , there are strong hopoa for re publican success. ELECTRIC lighting makes slow progress gross throughout the country. The greater part of the attempts made up to the present time to use electricity for illuminating other have boon o the character of experiments. MOB successful of all the plans adoptee scorns to have boon the illuminate ! masts. In San Jose , California , am in Cleveland , this form of illumina tion has grown greatly in popularity Iho Cleveland Loader says if the city had sixty masts scattered over its tcr litory , each aiding the rest more or less , with the aid of iho reflection from the walls , clouds and atmosphere phoro , every stront , alley , park , flat common , door yard , back yard , anc out off the way place would appear on a dark night as if it wore illuminated atod by the moon. A recent photo giaphical test has clearly proven thai the light is twice as strong as that ol the full moon. The result would bo that nearly all the burglars would bo scared out of town ; that the lumber men , railroad employes and dock men , would bo able to work nights when it is necessary ; that three-fourths the number of policemen would bo able to do the work of a full force ; that fire engines would bo able to move moro rapidly to a fire ; the carriages could drive bettor at night , and so on ad infinitum. For domestic purposes the light seems to have inado little moro head way. A number of manufacturing firms have employed it with success in rooms whore volume rather than quality of light was the principal thing dosirnd. But in dwellings the results looked for have not yet boon found. The cost of introducing if very heavy and constancy of flame has not been socurod. Edison claims that his sys tem when once at work in Now York city , were wires are now being laid in every direction , will meet every re quirement of a cheap , safe and steady light. But Edison has boon proved to bo bettor on claiming thaoj performance - formanco and the general impassion otill remains that the light of the future has not yet boon found by Bush , Edison or Maxim , ail of whom believed that they had solved the problem of electric lighting. 'WE will shoulder our muskets and fight for our rights. You must not drive us to desperation. " Those were the excited words of a member from Hudson county , spoken last week in the Now Jersey legislature on the ova of the passage of one of the most out rageous bills ever conceived by cor porate monopolies to plunder the I'iblio. 15y its provisions the entire v uter front of of Hubokon and Jersey Cily is donated to the Pennsylvania & New Jersey Central railroad com- panics , the right of eminent domain is taken from both the stat and the municipalities ondoccess to Now York harbor ia fsrovor forbidden to any corporation whoso object maybe bo to compete with the grasping mo nopolies who control , body and soul , the legislature of Now Jersey. Ic was a number of years ago that Won. doll Phillips declared ia a public speech that the Union consisted of thirty-six states and a railroad com pany , With a alight amendment as to the number of states , the remark holds as good to-day. All railroad property In Now Jersey is exempt from local taxation.i'lVoJcities in which the moat valuable hinds , build ings and waterfronts have been seized by the corporations , are already nearly bankrupted by this provision . At the present session of the legislature , when they appealed for relief the rail road minions snapped their fingers and refused to r&und the amount of state taxes collected on the railroad property on the ground that such re funding would forcethe imposition of u state tax. Mr. Oorbin's remark may have boon "nihilism. " It prob ably waa in the opinion of the mono- polA managers , but it was a nihilism which is rapidly gaining ground in tfow Jersey and which may yet ox- ilodo a tatal bomb in the monopoly camp and result in the regeneration of .ho legislature.

' The stories poems and miscellaneous matter , together with Henry Walter- son's "Oddities of Southern Life ; ' dealing with the humorous aide ol southern character in the daya before the war , give the magazinn a varied and intereating tone rarely excelled. PREACHING MID PALMS- Worshipers Without a Church and Without a Pastor. During the sad bereavement which foil on the family of the minister of the First Gorman Evangelical Luther an church , on Jackson , near Twelfth street , the Sunday service as well as the school of that congregation has boon suspended , nearly over since the appearance of the amall pox in Oma ha , the family of the minister being serious sufferers by this plague. On the first Sunday in March the owner of the green house on Six teenth , north of the bridge , volun tarily oflorod the use of his spacious floral hall for the use of the worshipers - ors , and every Sunday there has boon service there under palms and trop ical plants. Once the sorvicn has boon conducted by Rov. Kattonhauson from Louisville , Nob. , at other times by the president of the congregation ; the minister himself not venturing among his flock on account if the contagious disease. The service , how ever , was not the loss solemn and heart- toucning and the Lord was always implored to end the plague. Last Sabbath the ovangolium of the fourth Sunday in Lent was road , where Jesus feoda the -five thousand men with five loivos of barley bread and a few small fishes and twelve bas kets of fragments were loft and saved. The Saviour's power was held up first as having mercy on the hungry crowd which had congregated to hoar him ; second , the Willingness to help , and third , the help in itself but also the ubundanco of the savin.a.

RAILWAY The Boston elevators of the Hooac Tunnel line are said to be marvellous in construction. They aio nearly finished. Colored colonies are to be established In the Elk river valley , on the Northern Pa cific road. The delay of the Wnbash , St. Louis & Pacific railway company in paying its em- plovoi is making a great deal of mischief and , trouble. At ht , Louis the families of the workmen ai o actually tuifering for necessities of life , and it is said there are about 13,000 men on their pay-roll to whom they are in arrears. ' Regular trains are now run on the Bur lington to Missouri Denver Extension to the end of the track wast of Culbertson. The latter place is the division of the run at present. Some idea of the enormous character of the Union Pacific enterprises can be had foom the fact that Iti expenses will reach about $31.000 a day , or over $1,000 per hour , or $10 per minute. The U. P. shops at Eagle Rock , Idaho , are running night and day repairing dam ages arising from the recent numerous wrecks that have occurred along the line of the Utah & Northern , and work is being dispatched with great alacrity. The St. Paul , Minneapolis & Manitoba line is fcald to ba doing the largest passen ger business for its train mileage of any road in America. The ticket sales at Minneapol B and St. Paul for the first seven days in February exceeded the tot > 1 ticket s.iles for the entire line in the cor responding week of tlfSl. The .passenger earnings of the road last month amounted to 833,000. CONGRESS haa appropriated on addi tional sum of § 150,000 in aid of the sufferers by the Mississippi deluge. Every account brings more burrowing details of the dreadful devastation caused by the breaking of the levees and the overflow of the river. The country on each side of the banks of the river now under water is stated to be from ten to twenty-five miles in width , while over 100,000 people are reported homeless and destitute. The wide range over which tlioso cases of destitution are ucattored rendera oe- eistauco diflicult and in many instances impossible. It ia certain that already rnany.deatha must have occurred from ntaryation. Of the largo number of Bufforors , a great majority will have be to fed ana cared for until they re enabled to rebuild their homes or ore restored to thoae which atill remain and alao until they can plant and raise food for themselves.

The Railroad Problem. San Francssco Chronicle. The railroad problem promises to become M serious n ono and rva diffi cult of notation during the dccado from 1880 to 1890 as the question of African slavery waa to the statesmen of 1850 and 18GO , No plan yet proposed - posed for placing thcio great and Krowing corporations under the Jaw ia without ita weak and objectionable points when practical enforcement is attempted. The only headway made against them haa been in such state constitutional provisions as prohibit the statca and counties from voting them subsidica , supplemented by a popular pressure upon congress which bias fair to save what remains of the public domain from their grasp. In all olao there has been no change for the bettor. In defiance of state laws they still as much an ovcrdisqriminato in their charges on transportation against places and personsj stillenforco their own rule of charging all that any commodity will boar ; still , in the face of positive prohibitory statutes , consolidate different competing lines into ono combined power tor the op pression of the people ; still "water" their stock and divide points on pure ly fictitious capital ; still evade state and local laws on their property , and in many states exorcise a power great er than that of the state government. Some of the proposals upon which great tress was laid four or five years ago are now by general conaent admit ted to be practical failures and moro legal rotten timber. If the state commission haa been of any practical value to the people of Massachusetts , where it waa drat tried , wo can only know of it through ono of the Adamaes , who waa first a Com missioner for the fitato , is now in the service of the railway corpora tions , and trying to solve the prob lem of interstate traffic by suggesting a federal commission of throe , to bo paid a yearly salary of $10,000 each , and to be composed of ono "consti tutional lawyer , one railway expert , and ono expert statistician. " Ho oven goes so for aa to present a draft of the bill and name at least two of the com- misaicnora to bo appointed under it. And after all this is done , Mr. Adams admits that about the best thing the commission r.oifld do , and what he thinks it would do , ia to let the cor porations do as they please. The Reagan bill plan has been in varying form before congress over since 1877. Its purpose is for congress - gross to regulate interstate charges , and to prohibit discriminations be tween persons and places. There is no doubt 'of its constitutionality , but there have arisen of late serious doubts that it can over be practically enforced. Isaac L. Rico , late railway commissioner for the state of Massa chusetts and an export in railway mat ters , points out that such a federal law would bo no use unless it fixed minimum as well as maximum rates. A law fixing minimum rates cannot bo practically enforced and is of doubtful constitutionality. The rival corporations tried the rule and had to abandon it. The agreement between the great trunk lines connecting the west with Now York , Boston. Baltimore and Phila delphia , by which Now York freights were $2 per ton. higher than those to Baltimore and Philadelphia , so seri ously cut in upon the traffic of the Now York line and the trade of that city that it ledto a war of rates , and the absolution of Vanderbilt from the compact. When ' these differential rates were $1 higher on the New York line the western grain traffic was di vided out as follows , Per Ct. Prr Ct. Yew York18.7 Baltimore 10.7 Philadelphia. . . . 18.5 Boston 15.8 This was the status of the western grain trade in 1870-71. In 187G Uio differential rates still being in forte , this was the status. PerCt. PerCt. New York 38.G Baltimore 23j Philadelphia..23.7 Boston 14.5 The Now York line could not boar this cutting in upon its traffic , and a further reduction of the minimum was demanded. The rival lines refused , and a war of rates followed aqain. At the end of it a reduction in GO cents ' was ngrood upon. The result , as stated in 1880 , was this percentage of trade : Per Ct. Per Ct. New York 39 Philadelphia. . . . 20 Baltimore 25 Boston 16 Now York again robe 'od , and the late fierce war of rates rev. ! tod. Now York demanded the right .o reduce as low aa the owners of her line saw fit , and hero is the outcome of the fight of 1881 : Per Ct. Per Ct. NewYork 48.8 Boston 17.7 Philadelphia. . . . 14 Baltimore 21.3 It is because the Now York lines are the longest that the agreements restrained them to a minimum. It was because she was losing her trade to Baltimore and Philadelphia that the owners of her lines wore forced to recede from the conpact. It is doubt ful that any act of congress could bet tor prevail in the enforcement of min imum rates than such a corporation compact. Wayne MaoYcagh , late United States attorney general , now attorney for the Pennsylvania railroad , informs the Reagan house committee on inter state traffic that these roads are pri vate property and their owners have the same right to use them for the benefit of the stockholders that any private man haa to use his house or farm for his benefit. This is not true , and MuoVeagh as a lawyer ought to know it. Railways and oatmla are quasi public property , and the State that gave them their riqhtof way and corporation powers alao re served to itself the right to regulate thir tolls. But the grave question arises , whether , in case Congress de cides to regulate interstate traffic , the State laws on that point muat not be abandoned ; and if BO , whether any Congressional Commission , such aa Adams proposes to carry this Act of Congress into execution , would not soon find itself just where Adams and MpVcagh are in the employ of the railway companier in-fact , of the Gov ernment in theory only. There is yet , after all these failures , one way to solve the railway problem and restrain the tyranny of the corpo rations. That ia for the government to purchase or construct certain com manding lines of railway and operate them by its own agents. Ita credit being good ; it could do this cheaper than any corporation. The rate of intereat 6n ita bonded debt would bo 2 j per cent , below the average corpo ration rale ; , and M * would have only the public to icrvo nd please , the lowoat possible .raoa would bo insured. The corporations would either haTe to come down to thcM or suspend opera tions. POLITICAL. ' Irishmen. There are in congress ti'ght four Scotchmen , five Enllshn.'en , and three Germans. The Massachusetts nen.ite fins re/used the woman suffrage bill a ( bird reading by a vote of 21 to 12. Governor Roberto , of Texas , has called a suecial session of the legislature ana has laid out enough work to keep it busy for three months. Governor llagood , of South Caroli.m , has appointed the suiveyors and assistant supervisors of registration for the entire state , and the registration of voters will commence in May. The only demt cratlc congressman from Massachusetts , the Hon. Leopold Morse , Is lonely In Washington and announces that he will not be a candidate for reelection tion under any circumstances. The town elections throughout New England show no signs of republican weak ness , though local affairs took prcccdnce of polltk.il issues in most of them. The new arrangement of the congres sional districts in Mississippi will probably shelve Congressman Singleton. His coun ty has been placed in Mr , Hooker's dis trict. _ _ California ii one of the states in which the democrats will look for gains la con gressmen this fall. They now have two of the four members from the state. The republicans , however , hope to makocains also , and will try to win back the Third district , which is now represented by C. B. Berry. They lost it m 1880 largely through the unpopularity of their candi date. Ex-Governor Hpndricks , of Indiana , while in Chicago denied in an interview the rumor that ho hod been converted from free tra e to protection. That he said , would be impossible , as be had ueVer been a free trader. Ho denied his posi tion as midway between theJtwo extremes , and added that he was "in favor of pro * tection only to a judicious and beneficial extent. " In the coming redistrlctlng of the state of North Carolina the independents will make a strong effort to have the districts so formed as to give them a chance to elect some of the congressmen. The fltnto of Missouri will bo redistricted tricted in order , if possible , to insure a complete congressional delegation to the democrats. Of thirteen congressmen atE resent , five arc republicans or green- E ackers , It U hard to see just how the bourbons are going to gerrymander so as to accomplish their purpose. The dissat isfaction among the democrats is not con- bned to any particular district or dit- trictH , but is spread throughout the whole state. During the past eight years , the democratic inajor.ty forgwernor has been reduced from hfty thousand to seventeen thousand. The democrats needn't lose all hope. Thuy resently elected a mayor in an Iowa town. However , it was a rainy day , and a cold day , and the better class of voters didn't care about venturing out of doors. [ Denver Tribune. When Vermont was first admitted 'ito ' the Union it was fciven two Reprc.cut.i- tives in Congress. This number wa < af terward increased to six. Now , i * i n penod of ninety years , the State iciurus tj the original number. The legislature to be elected next month in Ilhodd Island will chocse a successor to Senator Anthony. He is now approach ing tbe close of his fourth term of con'.in- ous service in the Senate , and if he lives to complete another tenn ; to which there is no doubt of his election , he will have equalled the famous thirty years of Thus. B. Benton. A new interest is given to the Senatorial contest in Michigan by the announcement that Congressman Hnbbell will di-pute the succession with Senator Ferry. It was thought that the latter would have a walk over , but late developments show that he will have to fight for his seat. Mr. Hubbell - bell has some strong backers who will do their utmost for his promotion , while Mr. Perry's friends will not sec him displaced if they can prevout it. It is thought that other candidates will cater the field , among them being ex-Governor Baldwin. RESOLUTIONS OP RESPECT. Which Regard the Death of the Late A. N. Tunnel.
