big admission on the part of Mr. Caino.
THE registrars of the city should road

rection of the registry lists , and they
must give seven days' notice of such

to the authorities at Washington that n
desperado named Tom Hill has riddled

Tlio Inst spike in the Mexican Central
railroad was driven on last Saturday , und
hero is now direct railway connection
) otwcon the United States and the an
cient city of Mexico. The event is to
> o celebrated with great ceremony on the
rloxicnn national holiday , May 1st , on
which occasion President Arthur is ox-
peeled to join the president of the Mox-
can republic in congratulations lo bolh
mtions in the city of Mexico.
The Mexican Central railway , which
now connects the two American ropub-
ics , was organized in February , 1880 ,
under the general railroad laws of Masua-
ihuaolls. On April I ) , 1880 , the Mexican
, ; ornmont transferred to II. R. Symon
and his associates the charter of the old
lontral , granted December ft , 1874 , and
which covered the right of way from
iloxico city to Loon , The charter was
subsequently modified so an lo include
incs lo Paso del Norlo , Gaudalajara and
Jarodo. Shortly aflorward those parties
Tansforrod their rights lo tlio present
iompany , which tlio Mexican govern
ment lias recognized n.s a corpora
ion within its own limits , and to
which that tjovornmont lias granted
subsidy of § 15,000 per mile of road
built , tno right to import for fifteen
roars , duly free , all the material used in
.ho construction and operation of the
road , and has nxomplod it from all taxa-
.ion for fifty years from tlio completion
) f all the linos. The concession alio
authorizes the construction and operation
'or ninoty-nino years of a telegraph line
and of a standard guago railway from
Mexico to Paso del Norto , nnd from any
loint on that line through Guadalajara ,
oily of over 75,000 people , to the Pa
cific coast. The company has purchased
.ho Guanajuato railway , a narrow guago
oad running from Colayo to Trapuato ,
t dislanco of Ihirty-oovcn miles , the
price paid being S 128,000 ( Mexican
money ) , subject lo n deduction of $250-
000 for completing the line lo Loon. The
: ompany has also acquired various other
mportanl concessions , grants , charters
and subsidies.
The completion of Iho Mexican Con-
.ral railway is an event of moro than
ordinary importance. It opens lo Iho
merchants of tlio United Stales anew fielder
or trade , and lo Americans generally
t provides splendid opportunities for the
nvcstmont of capital in the development
of various enterprises that Mexico stands
n need of , and to which olio will give n
cordial reception and substantial encour
agement.
The republic of Mexico , consisting of
twonty-sovon dill'oront states , is , next lo
Iho United States , Iho moat populous and
woallhy counlry of Iho now world. The
Population is considerably over 10,000-
)00 ) , Bomo estimates placing it. at over
12,000,000. Mexico ia eminently a coun
try of mineral wealth , and itj production
of the precious metals wn for moro than
three centuries subsequent lo ita discov
ery greater thnn that of any other coun-
; ry. Ita silver mines to-day are among
, ho richest in the world. Silver early
> ocamo , and will ovoi remain , Iho staple
production of Mexico. The supply is
aid to bo practically unlimited. Though
many thousands of mines have boon
abandoned na unprofitable , Iho introduc-
ion of improved processes of extraction
ind roduolion , and of cheap Iraniporta-
ion by moans of railways , will augment
ho yield of silver to an indefinite extent ,
moro especially if supplies of coal and
[ uioksilvor should in any way become
cheap and abundant.
The long war of independence , from
L810 lo 1820 , ruined Iho mininq
nterosta of Mexico , which up lo Ihis
; lmo had boon very profitable. In 1825 ,
upon Iho oatabltnhment of the republican
government , a fever for the Mexican mines
pervaded Iho London money market , and
the most reckless investments wore made.
Oporalions wore carried on foryoara upon
bhomostlavish scale of expenditure , under
the direction of so-called mining engi
neers , who refused to learn anything
from Mexican sourcoi. Naturally , Iho
English companies nearly all collapsed
within a few years. The mining re
sources of Iho country are now almost
exclusively in the hands of Mexican capi
talists , and are gradually recovering their
prosperity. There are cloven mints ii
the republic , which coin on an average
$20,000,000 per annum , of which loss
Hum 81,000,000 is in gold. Tlio total
production of Mexican mines up to 1875
Is estimated at $1,300,000,000 , and the
total coinage for thosamo period is ataloc
at 83,003,000,008 , , of which nol moro
ihan 5 per cent was gold.
Among Iho principal vogolabloproduots
of Mexico ore Indian corn , swootpotatoos
wheat , barley , rice , sugar cane , lobacco
cotlon and cofteo. Tropical fruils in
great abundance and varioly are producec
in Mexico , such as oranges , lemons
olives , mangoes , bananas , pineapples am
Itrapos. There are over 100 species o
Umber Iroes and cabinet woods" , 17 oil
bearing planla and Ircoa , 12 kinds of dye
woods , 8 kinds of gum trees , and over 0 (
varlolies of medicinal planls. It is
a wonderfully rich country in
agricultural resources , and agriculluro ia

ginal population , whether in jtha tillage

Tjio historic city of Mexico , the capita
of the republic contains
, a population o
over 275,000. The ether principal cilios
of Iho republic range in populalion from
10,000 lo 85,000 , there boin twenty-two

I'RESIDRNTIAL
Special to tlio Kama * City Journal.
WASIIINCITOX , March 8. Goo. W. E.
Dorsey , chairman of the Nebraska state
epublican committee , is hero. lie says
.hat Nebraska is for Blaine for provident ,
and Logan as second choice Hint the
nominee of Iho republican parly , who
ever ho may bo .will bo elected. Ho
claims that the contiguous slates of lown
and Kansas nro also for Blaino. Mr.
Arthur , ho says , has made a good presi
dent , giving satisfaction to Iho business
men of the counlry , but that ho was
made such by accident and placed upon
the republican ticket for vice president
tgainst the wishes of many of Iho party
oadors , would hardly make him the
iropor man to nominate lo carry the
sounlry at Ihis limo.
Nebraska has been a Blaine state , nnd
f James G. Blaine wore to-day , a ciuull-
date for Iho presidency , ho would un
doubtedly bo Iho choice of a great major
ity of Iho party , but Mr. Dorsoy has shot
vrldo of the mark , when ho says thai
General Logan is Iho second choice of
Nebraska republicans. General Logan
'ias ' many friends in this state , and so
mvoSenator George F. Edmunds , Gen
eral Sherman , Bon Harrison , John
Sherman and last but not least Cheater
A. Arlhur. The assumption that General
oral Arlhur is barred from becoming Iho
next nominee for the presidency because
! io was not Iho choice of some
delegates at Iho Chicago conventionwhen
lie was nominated for vice president , and
especially because ho was made president
of Iho United Stales by accident is , lo
say Iho least , decidedly preposterous. If
it is Iruo , as Mr. Dorsoy admits , thai
"Arthur has made a good president , giv
ing satisfaclion lo Iho business men of
Lhe counlry"whyshould Iho republican
parly commit itself against hia ronoini-
nalion ? Suppose General Garfield had
lived out his term , had made a good
president , and given general satisfac
tion lo Iho people by his administration ,
would any man of good sense have op-
.losod his ronominalion because 30G
oul of about 720 delegates had opposed
lis nomination , which was a sheer acci
dent.
iVgain , suppose that President Arthur
should bo removed by deathaccidental or
otherwise , and Senator Edmunds , who is
now vico-prosidonl , should become presi
dent for the unoxpired term , would re
publicans who acknwledgo his eminent
llnoss for Iho place , rule him out be
cause ho became president by accident ?
If Arthur has agreeably disappointed
; hose who were opposed to him for the
vice-presidency and made n good prcsi-
dontjor throe years , why would ho not
make a good president for four years
longer ?
When wo say this wo" do not express
preference for Arthur over all other can
didates , nor would wo advocate a pledged
or instructed delegation from this state
'or any candidate. This paper h.a < 3 sup
ported James G. Blaine with all the
vigor and ability at ils command during
successive campaigns. It would dose
so again if ho were before the country as
a candidate , but wo do not believe it to
30 just In Iho administration of Presi
dent Arlhur nor good policy for Iho re
publican parly lo commit Ihis state
against Arthur in advance , by unreason
able and senseless presumptions , based
on factional prejudices and prccoedonU
which do not in the least boar upon his
case. Mr. Arthur has neither Tylorizod
nor Johnsonizud. Ho has remained loyal
to the party that nominated him , and
hence precedents like those which Mr.
Dorsoy recalls , inferentially , should in
no way ofl'oct him.
THK LKSSONS Of SUNDAY NldUFB
TRAQKDY.
That a murder should bo committed in
the variety dive known as the Thoalro
Comiquo ought not to surprise any ono
who is aware of the character of the place.
It has long boon a notorious resort for
persons of bad charaolor. Wlml surprises
us is that murder has not been committed
there long before this. Although the
Ihoalro was running in full blast in con-
nootion with the bar , in open violation of
law , it being Sunday night , such a crime
waa just as liable to bo committed on any
other night of the week , yet the authori
ties are lo blame for allowing Iho place
lo bo open on Sunday. How comes il
lliat the police allowed this violation of
law , in view of the fact lhat Iho mayor
and marshal recently ordered all saloons
lo bo closed on Sunday , and it was supposed -
posed by some pnoplo lhat Iho order was
being strictly enforced ? As a matter of
fact the Thoalro Comiquo is a disgraceful -
ful and dangerous place , and should bo
suppressed. That it was permitted lo bo
open on Sunday evening , under the ad
vertised pretext of giving a "sacred concert -
cert , " was an insult to the morals , to the
decency , and to the .intelligence
of this community. It is high time thai
such bra/on laced impudoneo should
cease lo bo tolerated in Omaha. That it
has been tolerated so long ii duo to the
inefficiency of Iho polino , who , jf strictly
performing their duty , would have closed
the Theatre Comiquo for being a disor
derly house * and a place dangerous to the
public welfare. It remains to bo seen
whether the authorities , with the awful
lesson of the Sunday night tragedy before.
thum , will awake to. a reulisatijn of ,
their duty , and lh important
relations they bear to the public.
Can the authorities , who ore supposed
lo bo Iho guardians of Iho public welfare ,
ongcr afford lo pcrmil affairs coming
under police regulation lo conlinuo in
the loose condition which lias prevailed
for the last year ? In the tragic death of
lis brother Iho propriolor of Iho Theatre
Comiquo hashadtho , character of hisbusi-
ness brought homo lo him , and , if ho is
not a man Ihoroughljr hardened in vice
and sin , ho would never again open Iho
doors of his variety dive , bul would en
deavor lo alone for Iho injury ho has
done lo Iho community , by seeking some
ether occupalion , and leading a moro
loncst and decent lifo.
Tin : Republican asks us why THE BEE
did not i.ubliah four columns of testimony
before the senate postofUoo committee.
The testimony was simply a statement
relating lo press dispatcher made by Wil
liam Henry Smith. Why didn't Iho
Republican publish at least four lines
about Senator Mnndcrson's bridge bill
before the committee on commerce ? That
subject was of general intcroal lo Iho
citizens of Omaha and Iho people of Iho
state. Mr. Smith's testimony was of
interest lo publishers nlono.

those aio articles indispensable in every
household in the Jand. These enter into
the life of e\ory human croature. The
duty onthesa articles is from 40 to DO
per cent. It is 'not stating the case too
strpuRly to say that on the nix
articles we have just named , tlio
laboring clatsos pay anually over
8100,010,0(0 tax to the government , or
two dollars to each person and t-ou to
each family. This , of course , takes no
account of the amount they pay to pro-
loot homo industries whiph does not go

IS ii , Bovornment ; that is to say , BIX
I dojlars to each person and thirty to each
