No farmers or editors can dc without it. Printed and published a the government printing bureau Washington , TELLER IN THE CABINET. The announcement is made on what Is regarded as good authority that President Arthur has decided to ap point Henry M. Teller secretary of the intonor. This choice , wo are told by the agonc of the associated press , was made first , because Mr. Teller lias boon a warm supporter of Oonk- ling with two presidents ; Ho 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 desires - -sires to place aPncificcoustman at the head of the interior department , and Colorado being identified in interest \with the Pacific coast , would render Toiler 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- nas Pacific. This Htatomont places Prcsidont.Ar- tliur ir n very discroditablo'.ligh't .bo- fore the American people. Nobody will dare question Presi dent Arthur's right to fill his cabinet vrUhmojijthat are in perfect accord with him on all political issues. ? Nobody can justly .find fault .with him for giving recognition to tlio'so ? 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 bnow that the interests of the great railroads and especially of the Union & .KnnuaB Pacific must clasirwith the interests of Ute 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 inteicstsr.f the people of the United States. Prisi- jont _ _ Arthur"ought" ( JT know Hint Henry MrToTTot7wTio"for yJais" has boon the Colofado nttornoy for the Union Pacific , would bo a very unsafe man for the suction of which ho is chosen as special representative , In stead of gratifying the pjoplo west of the Missouri , whether on this side of the Rockies or on the Pacific coast , the appointment of Teller would bo resented as an outrage. This man Toiler was foisted on the people of Colorado as Senator by the railroad 'influence , but the railroads know that ho can never bo re elootcd. HK-- . SenT ? ; His career in the senate has been that of a patronage broker , jobber and railroad capper. If Sargent was objectionable on account of his rec ord , Teller Is morei objectionable. The constitution"requires' tho" president - dent to advise with the senate in making appointments , but the consti- utiou does not require , nor oven con template , that ho should consult the railroad corporations in choosing his cabinet. If the railroads are to dic tate who should sit in his cabinet they may as well dictate the decisions of our supreme court. FIVE slates will hold elections dur- np ; the coming spring and summer. Jhe first election of the year will take ilnco in Khodo Island on the first iVodncsday in April. A full line of state officers , including the governor , and legislature will bo elected. The republicans have an overwhelming najority of votes. Oregon holds an election for governor and state legis lature in Juno , The legislature to bo ; ho8on will elect a United States sen ator in the place of Leonard Orovor , democrat , whoso term expires in L883. Oregon wont for Garfield at U last election , and it is believed that the coming contest will result in a re publican victory. On tlio first Monday in August , elections will bo hold in Kentucky and Alabama. Kentucky elects a [ lortion of the legislature and a clerk of the court of appeals. When Ken tucky goes republican the event will bo apt to excite some comment Ala bama , which is nearly aa strongly democratic , elects a governor and a legislature which will cheese a United States senator to succeed John F. Morgan , democrat. Tennessee holds lior state election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday. A governor will bo elected and a legislature which will cheese a senator in the place of Isham 0. Harris. Tennessee now has a republican governor , am as party lines have boon very much broken in the contest ever the state debt , there are strong hopes for re publican success. ELECTUIO 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. Mos successful of all the plans adoptee seems to have been the illuminatoc masts.

A recent photo giaphical teat has clearly proven tha the light is twice as strong as that o the full moon. The result would bi that nearly all the burglars would be scared out of town ; that the lumber inon , railroad , employes and dock mon 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 ; tha fire engines would be able to move more rapidly to a fire ; the carriages could drive bettor at night , and so on ad infinitum. For domestic purposes the light seems to have made little moro head way. A number of manufacturing [ inns have employed it with success in rooms where volume rather than qnality of light was the principal thing desired. But in dwellings the results loukod for have not yet boon found. The cost of introducing i ( very heavy and constancy of flame has not boon secured , Edison claims that his sys tem when once at work in Now York city , wore wires are now being laid in every direction , will moot every re quirement of a cheap , safe and steady light. But Edison has boon proved to bo bettor on claiming thaopor - Eornmnco and the general im ssion still 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 olectrio lighting. 1 WE will shoulder our muskets and fight for our rights. You must not drive us to desperation. " Those wera the excited words of a member from Hudson county , spoken last week in the Now Jersey legislature on the eve of the passage of ono of the most out- rngrous bills ever conceived by cor- jorato ; monopolies to plunder UK pblic. By its provisions the entire atcr front of of HuboKun ami Jersey Cily is donated to the Pennsylvania & New Jersey Central railto.ul com- paiiies , the rujit of eminent domain is taken ficm both the stat and the municipalities nmlaccess to Now York harbor io forever forbidden to uny corporation whoso object maybe bo to compote with the grasping mo nopolies who control , body and soul , the legislature of Now Jersey. It was a number of years ago that Wendell - doll Phillips declared in a public speech that the Union consisted of thirty-six states and a railroad com pany , With a slight amendment as to the number of states , the remark holds as good to-day. AH railroad property in Now Jersey is exempt from local taxation. j TwoJcities in which the most valuable lauds , build ings and waterfronts , have been seized by the corporations , are already nearly bankrupted by this provision . At the present session of tlio 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 forcetho imposition of state tax. Mr. Oorbin's remark may bayo been "nihilism. " It prcb. bly was in the opinion of the mono- x > l managers , but it was a nihilism which is rapidly gaining ground in ? ow Jersey and which may yet explode - plodo a fatal bomb in the monopoly camp and result In the regeneration of the legislature , NOTES : HAKPEJl's KAOAZINR opens with the fitat of a series of pa pers entitled "Spanish Vistas , " by Mr.George P , Lathrop , with sixteen illustratons.

Worshipers Without a Church and Without a Pastor. During the sad bereavement which foil on the family of the minister oi the First Gorman Evangelical Luther an church , on Jackson , near Twelfth street , the Sunday service as well as the school of that congregation has been suspended , nearly ever since the appearance of the small pox in Oma ha , the family of the minister being serious suil'erurs 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 ot his spacious floral hall for the use of the worship- era , and every Sunday there hau been service there under palms and trop ical plants. Once the scrvicn has boon conducted byRov. Kattonhausen from Louisville , Neb , , at other times by the president of the congregation ; the minister himself not venturing among his flock on account tf the contagious disease. The service , how ever , was not the loss solemn and heart- touching and the Lord was always implored to end the plague. _ Last Sabbath the ovangolium of the fourth Sunday in Lent was road , where Jesus foods the .five thousand mon with five lotves of barley bread and a few small fishes and twelve bas kets of fragments wore loft and saved. The Saviour's power was hold up first as having mercy on the hungry crowd which had congregated to hear him ; second , the willingness to help , and third , the help in itself but also the i.butuliuico of the savin.s.

Colored colonies nro to be established in the Elk river valley , on the Northern Pa cific road. The delay of the Wabash , St. Louis & Pacific railway company in paying its em- plovoi is making a great deal of mischief and trouble. At bt. Louis the families of the workmen aio actually differing for necessities of life , and it is said there are about 13,000 men on their pay-roll to whom they are in arrears. Ilegular trains are now run on the Bur lington & Missouri Denver Extension to the end of the track wast of Culbertaon. 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 foorn the fact that Iti expenses wilt reach about $31,000 a day , or over $1,000 per hour , or $10 per minute. The U.

Every account brings more harrowing details of the dreadful devastation caused by the breaking of the lovecs and the overflow of the river. The country on each siuo of the banks of the river now under water is stated to bo from ton to twenty-five miles in width , while ever 100,000 people are reported homeless and destitute. The wide range ever which thosu cases of destitution are scattered renders as sistance difficult and in many instances impossible. It is certain that already roany.doaths must have occurred from starvation. Of the largo number of sufferers , a great majority will have be to fed and cared for until they ro enabled to rebuild their homes or ore restored to those which still remain and also until they can plant and raise food for themselves. SOME of the objects of the Combined Trades' union , of Philadelphia , are stated to bo the passage of laws for the legalization and incorporation of trade unions , the prohibition of child labor , the enforcement of laws for compulsory education and the insti tution of the eight-hour system. The Rnilrond Problem- San Francssco Chronicle. The railroad problem promises to become as serious a ono and as diffi cult of solution during the decade- from 1880 to 1890 as the question of African slavery was to the statesmen of 1850 and 1800. No plan yet pro posed for placing these great and growing corporations under the law is without its weak and objectionable points when practical enforcement in attempted. The only headway made against them has been in such stnto constitutional provisions as prohibit the states and counties from voting them subsidies , supplemented by a popular pressure upon congress which bids fair to save what remains of the public domain from their grasp. In all else there lias boon no change for the better. In defiance of stnto Ian s they still as much an over discriminate in their charges on transportation against places and persons ) stillcnforco 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 for the op pression of the people ; still "water" their stock and divide points on pure ly fictitious capital ; still ovadostato and local laws on their property , and in many states exercise 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 consent admit ted to bo practical failures and moro legal rotten timber. If the state commission haa boon of any practical value to the people of Massachusetts , where it was first tried , wo can only know of it through ono of the Adamses , who was first a Com missioner for the state , 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 export statistician. " Ho oven goes so far as to present a draft of the bill and name at least two of the corh- missicnors to bo appointed under it. And after all this is done , Mr. Adams admits that about the best thing the commission r.ould do , and what ho thinks it would do , is to let the cor porations do as they please , The Reagan bi'I ' plan has been in varying form before congress ever ainco 1877. Its purpose is for con gress to regulate interstate charges , and to prohibit discriminations bo- twcon persons and places. There is no doubt of its constitutionality , but there have arisen of late serious doubts that it can ever bo 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 uio 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 New 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 No < 7 York line and the trade of that city that it led'to a war of rates , and the absolution of Yandorbilt from the compact. When ' those differential rates wore $1 higher on the New York line the western grain traffic was di vided out as follows t Per Gt. Per Ot. Yew York 18.7 Baltimore 10 7 Philadelphia. . . . 18.5 Boston 15.8 This was the status of the western grain trade in 1870-71. In 1870 .ho differential rates still being in forte , this was the status. PerCt. PorCt. New York 38.0 Baltimoie 23. 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 CO cents ' was agreed upon. The result , ns stated in 1880 , was this percentage of trade : Per Ct. Per Ct. New York 30 Philadelphia. . . . 20 Baltimore 25 Boston 15 Now York again robo''cd , and the late fierce war of rates rc .ltud. Now York demanded the right .o reduce as low as the owners of her line saw fit , and here is the outcome of the fight of 1881 : Per Ct. Per Ct. New York 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 conpaet. It is doubt ful that nny 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 Ileagan house committee on inter state traffic that these roads are pri vate properly and their owners have the same right to use thorn for tlio benefit of the stockholders that any private man has to use his house or farm for his benefit. This is not true , and MuoVeagh as a lawyer ought to know it. Railways and oanali are quasi public property , and the State that gave them their rightof way and corporation powers also re served to itself the right to regulate th ir tolls. But the grave question arises , whether , in case Congress de cides to regulutt ) intorntaio traffic , the State laws on that point must not bo abandoned ; and if so , whether any Congressional Commission , such as Adams proposes to carry this Act of Congress into execution , would not soon find itself just where Adams and MpYcagh are in the employ of the railway companies 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 is for the government to purchase or construct certain com manding lines of railway and operate them by its own agonts. Its credit being good ; it could do this cheaper than any corporation. The rate of interest 6n its bonded debt would be 2A per cent , below the average corpo ration rate : .and as it would have only the public ( o serve and please , the lowest possible .rates would bo insured. The corporation would either haTe to come down to thcM ° r suspend opera tions. POLITICAL There are In congress -ight Irishmen. four Scotchmen , five Enfjli < hn. ' D , and three Germans.
