TUB Wall Street tttws is eminently correct when it aayo : "Tnoro will bo music in the mr when the state Icglsla turos moot in the west next month. The railroad people say 'wo don't BOO how wo can reduce rates ; ' and the farmers respond spend , 'wo will show how to do it. ' " AHOUT the best way to get anything you want is to advertise for It in the pa per that has the largest circulation. Democrats who want ohico , and want their wants to bo known , are hereby no tified that the want column of THE BEB 1 * open to them. EX-SGNATOII SHARON , of California , is having up-hill work. Mrs. Sharon , bet tor known as Miss Hill , has succeeded in obtaining a divorce from the old man. She evidently had more inlluonco with the court than Mr. Sharon. The plain- tifl docs not want the earth ; she only wants § 5,000 n month alimony. THE legislature moota In afow daysand moro citizens' meetings oughtto bo hold to further discuss the proposed charter amendments. The work has not yet boon half done. Among the matters yet to bo considered , is the reduction of the number of justices of the pqaco and the two-mile limit around the city , In which , under the Slocumb law , no liquor license can bo iBsued. WILLIAM M. EVAUTS , lu announcing himself as a candidate for the Now York sonatorship , has made a striking depart ure. His card id not only brief , but ib is divided into comparatively short sen tences. Ho probably intended to con vince the public that if elected , ho would not occupy the entire Congressional Jlccofd with ono of his long-drawn-out sentences. THE Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy system will reduce passenger rates on its Missouri lines on January 1st from four and four and a half cents a mile to three cents a mile. Now what does it propose to do in regard to its lines in Nebraska ? However , it doesn't make much difference whether it reduces the faro , for the legis lature in all probability will do It on all the railroads. IN other states the state officers have their reports published in time tc bo pre sented to the legislature upon its open ing day. But In Nebraska they do not got their reports ready until late in the session , and the journals of the two houses are suppressed for a year or two after the legislature adjourns. Moro promptness is needed in this matter. So far as the legislative journals arojoouccrn- ed , the only way to have them prompt ly printed is to get efficient clerks. Wo have had enough of such clorka as Slaugh ter. A change cannot be for the worse at any rate. THE recent anti-monopoly utterances of Mr. Glarkson of the DCS Moines Jtcyititcr are a on par with those of Dr. Mtllor of the Omaha Herald. The people - plo of Iowa have no moro faith in Clark- aon than the people of Nebraska bavo in Miller. The Dos Moines Lender thus opoaks of Mr. Clarkson's conversion to the anti-monopoly doctrine : Ono of these days when the true in wardnoea of Mr. Clarkson's negotiations with the railways , resulting In his under taking the contract to repeal the granger laws for a consideration comes out , as it certainly will , the public will bo highly edified , but wo fear they will lose faith In our now convert to the doctrine of anti- monopoly. Now THAT that the completion of the Washington monument has made the sta tlstics of that grand shaft familiar to the public , it may bo of interest to present a foir figures showing some of the exao dimensions of that other vast work , the Bartholdl statno of Liberty Enllghtonln ] the World. Now that monument 1 done , the pedestal for the colossal figure ought to bo finished with all dispatch and if the public only appreciated the French tribute of friendship and honor the funds would bo soon forthcoming The figure proper Is 151.14 fee In height to the top of the torch held in Liberty's' hand , 110 44 foot to the top of her diadem , and 111 52 feet to the crown of her bead. The index finger Is 8 03 feet long and 4 72 fact In circumference at the second joint. The fingernail is 1.14 by .85 feet , and the head Is 14,43 feet high , with room fo forty persons to stand inside of it. The eye Is 2.13 feet wide , the nose 3.07 fee long , and other dimensions ore proper tionaioly great. The statue on an appro prlate pedestal will vie in grandeur with the Washington monument , and take r nk as one of the real wonders of the world. A STUDY IN FIGURES. In response to an inquiry wo again give the tot l vote on prendentlal candi dates : Cleveland , 4fll892 ; Elaine , 4,844 , CC1 ; Butler , 134,103 ; St. John , 150,335 ; Cleveland's plurality , 60,831. The toUl number of votes cast was 10,040,088. In 1880 Gixrfiold received 4,4 49,053 ; Hancock , 4,412,035 : Weaver , 307,3C ( > ; Dow , 10,305. Oarfiold's plurality was 7,018. The tolal numbar of votes cast , including 2,271 scattering , was 0,210- ! 70. 70.In In 1872 the total \ota was 0,400,105 , , of which Grant had 50 per cent nnd Greelcy 43. In 1870 the total vote in creased to 8,152,723 , of whioh Hayes had 47.95 per cent , Tilden 50.94. The increase of the total vote from 1872 to 1876 was 30.1 per cent ; irom 1870 to 1880 , 0.4 per cent ; and from 1880 to 1884 , 0.8 per cent. The bulk of the increase has been in the western and southwestern states. Now England barely holds her own , Now York and Pennsylvania are below the average increase , Ohio and Illinois are nearly up to it , with Indiana several points behind. The southern states , ex copllng those west of the Mississippi , are much below the average , duo more , per tiapR , to absenteeism from the polls than to lack of voting growth. Virginia is an exception. In that state the increase is 34 per cent , undoubtedly the result of Mahono'a vigorous campaign and the removal moval of the poll tax qualification , which was such a burden upon the indig ent negroes. Arkansas shows an In crease of nearly 18 per cent , California of nearly 12 , Colorado of about 25 , Iowa of moro than 16 , Kansas of about 32 , Michigan of 15 , Indiana of 5A , Minnesota seta of nearly 27 , and Oregon of 30. Nebraska , however , takes the load , In creasing her vote from 87,000 to 134- 100 , an increase of 53 per cent in four 'oars. Six states showa loss I Georgia , Maine , Nevada , Now Hampshire , Vermont and South Carolina. Three of theao states , It will bo noticed , are in New England. -ho result in South Carolina is altogether abnormal. While 170,000 votes wore iat there in 1880 , but 02,000 are thrown his year. White the six Now England states in * rcaao their aggregate vote a few thous- nda , they give to Blalno but 385,000 otcs , while Gartiold had 415,000 in the amo region. Only ono Now England tate , llhodo Ijland , givcs'Bhino as largo vote as Garfield had. The twenty-two northern states ( in- luding Kansas , Colorado , and the coast tales ) cast 7,044,050 votes , or 74.1 per cnt of the whole voto. The north's > or cent of the electoral vote is 60. Maine had 3,586,458 votes in the north , ; ivlng him a majority over all in the northern states of 54,433. Of the 2,990,638 votes cast in the oath Blaine has 1,257,003 and Clovo- and 1,716,006. Cleveland has over Blaine in the south 458,403 , and 435,374 vor all. Elaine's per cent of the north- rn vote is 50.90 , and Cleveland's of the outhorn xoto 57-5. Tin : question af reducing railroad rolght tariffs and passenger faros is ono hat interests the people of the state of Nebraska just at the present time , and hat the next legislature will take some ctlon upon the matter there is now no .oubt. The question whether a legiala- uro has the power to reduce railroad ates has recently been decided by the upromo court of appeals in West Vir- clnla. By a special charter granted by he legislature ono of the railroad com- tanles in that state was author- zed to charge seventy-five cents a larrol for carrying oil. Subsequently an act was passed regulating the freight charges on all roads. It reduced the rate on oil below sovonty-fivo cents a barrel. Che company in question claimed that his was a violation of its chartered rights , and that the act to that extent was un constitutional. This view was sustained ) y the county circuit court , but the supreme premo court of appeals reverses the rul ng. The latter tribunal holds that "the right of any railroad company to charge 'or transportation , no matter what its charter may bo , is absolutely under the control of the legislature , and ono logis aturo cannot bind another with respect to this subject , it being a governmental power that a legislature cannot barter away. " What the Nebraska legislature should do Is to pass a law regulating rail road freights , and provide for the en forcement of the law. WHILE there is a genoraldemand for the passage of a national bankrupt law , there seems to bo some opposition to the Low ell bill , although it has boon pretty wol tinkered to meet the wishes of the public. The opposition to this bill is rather untimely , for It is pretty well conceded that the only chance of getting a national bankruptcy l&w in the near future is by the adoption of the Lowol bill , which has passed the senate and Is ap proved by the loading business represen tatlvos in nearly .etcry Important city o the coobtry. If rejected now , there wll bo but little hope of securing any legis latlon on the bankruptcy question fo some time to come. WE hear a great many complaint among the tax-payers relative to the time that taxes become delinquent , am there Is a general demand that the time bo changed from January 1st back to the lit of May , the date on which they for merly became delinquent. In the mid die of winter , when expenses of all kinds are greater than at any other season o the year , and money is tight , it is a great hardship upon the average tax-payer to bo called upon to pay his taxes. In the spring , however , the fuel bills decrease , other expenses diminish , the laboring men find work , business picks up , money circulates moro freely , a better fooling prevails and people are generally much bettor prepared to pay their taxes before the lit of May. It is hoped that our leg islators will thoroughly discuss this mat ter , and if it Is found to bo moro benefi cial to the people to have taxes become delinquent on the 1st of May lot them change the time to that date. There maybe bo serious objections , however , to the change , which the people have not thought of. If there are any ouch objec tions they will naturally bo presented in the course of the discussion of the matter. When the Blair bill to create a federal - oral commission on the alcoholic liquor traffic came up In the senate the other day , the only speech in opposition to it wa.s mode by Senator Vust , who said that ho had no objection to an inquiry Into the liquor question , but In his opinion it WAS a matter for the states to attend to , and there was no evidence offered that the states were not compe tent to make all the Inquiry necessary for a thorough understanding of the issues Involved , aud therefore ho was op posed to any interference by the national government. Ho did noi care to bo put In the attitude of opposing tomporauea movements or of upholding the liquor traffic , but ho believed this bill and all such legislation to bo a violation of the constitution. The fact is that this ref erence of the liquor question to a commission - > mission will result lu nothing but the creation of needless expense. It makes a soft place for several commissioners who will have nothing to do but gather sta tistics and inako a report and draw their lay. THE olovatcd railroads are as success ful tax-dodgers as the surface roads. They allowed their taxes to accumulate since 187 ! ) , until they .amounted to ? 2- , { 43,511.18. They recently compromised ; ho debt by paying § 1,285,533.51 , thus making about $1,600,000. This shows ; hat procrastination is not only the thief of timd but of the people's money. It a the old atory over again. The same ; amo Is played everywhere by the rail ways and other corporations. A RECENT dispatch from Washington credits Dr. Loring , the commissioner of agriculture , with having a stronger nffcc- ion for office than ho has for the republican > arty , and that ho does not propose to go out with his party even if ho has to turn a somersault into the democratic rankj. Wo So not put any faith in this startling umor , but if it is true Dr. Miller will irobably BOO that ho Is ousted in order to make room for himself. Ox December 31at the United States navy will ba run ashore , It will be loft ilgh and dry on that day without a dol- ar to run it , congress 'having failed to irovldo an appropriation for its support. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. While parliament is enjoying its holi day resees , the British ministry are wrestling with several knotty problems which will tax their ingenuity 10 its ut most. A crisis is rapidly approaching in Egyptian affairs , and decisive action will iavo to be' taken with regard to the rola- ions between England and the continent al powers that are interested in the iropor settlement of Egyptian difficul- IOB. While there are thoto n England who profess to believe hat an amicable arrangement will yet bo reached between England and Franco on the Egytiau question on ho basis that England Is to observe a quasi neutrality in China , to enable the Trench to carry out their schemes of con quest , those visionaries seem to forge- that England has much greater interests n Asia than aho has in Africa , The recent - cent departure of M. Waddington , the French minister to London-for Paris , is jointed to as a fresh proof of thoresump- , ion of friendly conferences between Lon don and Paris on Egyptian affairs , but it a known that M. Waddington's mission lad for its principal , if not its solo object , the submission to the French govern ment of the now peace proposals sent by China to the Marquis Tseng , based on English mediation , and announced in the memorial diplomatique on the 6th Inst. The latest news from Egypt gives promise of fresh complications in a ques tion already sufl'iciently perplexing. A Frenchman in El Mahal's camp is said to have organi/.sd a secret service by moani of which ho obtains from the French colony in Cairo news of Lord Wolsoloy's movements ; and , It is further stated , that the recent reports of the weakness of El Mahdi were intended to decoy the Eng lish Into an unsupported advance of the cimol corps across the desert from Am- bnkol to Shondy. This report has excited much disturbance and Indignation in England. If true , it may load to a quarrel with Franco , whoso attitude throughout ) the Fgyptian troubles hu been far from friendly. Such a contest , however , would probably not go beyond the bounds of diplomacy ; for Mr. Glad stone is fortunately gifted with a good deal of discretion , and M. Ferry has his hands full , juts at present with other matten. M. Jules Ferry still holds the purse- strings lu France and commands a ma jority of the national legislature. But the disclosure of his largo plans for a French empire In the Cambodian penin sula has weakened the ministry with both the legislature and the peoplo. Franco cannot afford largo outlays of money , and will not make largo sacri fice of men , oven to acijulrn an Asiatic empire like that of England in India , The country la poor. The revenue shows a large deficit. The pros pect of distant service for con scripted soldiers affects the popular tem per , as a like prospect for onliV.ed troops like the English would n t. It Is felt that the dangers of an invasion justify the government in keeping a lartjo part of the younger generation of Frenchmen undir armr. But there is a feeling against sending them in great bodies to Tonquln , to face malaria , cholera and the bullets of the Chinese. So the peasantry bate the prospect of a distant war for heir sons , who are commonly only Rons and heirs to bits of land. The next great political oventls adver tised In Franco for January 25 , when the senatorial elections take place. The fate of Ferry may bo determined then , but the most Important result will bo the bearing of the election upon the presidency. The executive term expires in January 1886 , and the election will bo by joint vote ot the senate and chamber of deputies. The senatorial vacancies to bo filled next month number eighty-seven , of whom at the last election forty-tovon were repub lican and forty reactionists. _ The bitter fooling in nil political discussion at I'.ula just now Is caused by the approaching elections , and it is to bo noted that the recent - cent Bonapartist banquet , with the speeches about a chief that can lead the nation through peril , was but the begin ning of a determined effort of the spared monuments of the empire to secure , if may bo , the balance of power in 1880. The strife between Bismarck and the reichstag is fast losing that dignity that should attend grave matters of state. If It was unwise to refuse the members of the legislature pay upon the ground thnt that the people will not care to pay men for foolish legislation , it was potty for the rclchstsg to refuse the prince an as sistant. The strife "In the Jjonovuloneo of friends that would coin itself into money to moot the expenses of the poor members upon the one hand , or the pay for an assistant upon the other , is a proper subject for the political cartoonist. The action of the rolchstog as a chock to Bismarck was perhaps necessary , for ho has little skill at looking at things as othera look at them , and requires a brutal retort to understand it. Bismarck himself is not very well advised when ho declares through his oryin his intention ot retiring from public business for a season by way of resenting this action. There is nothing very appalling In the threat. No foreign complication F any great magnitude or difli cutty now threatens the empire. Even it it did , the traditions of the for eign oflico have boon established by Bis marck and will re.Qoct his policy , whether ho is personally in charge or not. The vote of the roichtag did not deny any thing of much practical importance. The ' 'Bismarck fund , " which admirers of the chancellor are raising in Berlin , is ostensibly n fund to enable him to em ploy the assistance in the foreign office which the reichstag refused. Really it is a protest against the disparagement of his services to the Gorman Empire im plied In the voto. The report that war is imminent be tween Brazil and the Argentine Repub lic is denied. The supposed massing of troops aud ileot of Rio Janoio is declared to bo no moro than experimental maneu- vree , and certainly Brazilian papers a week later than those movements give no intimation of immediate war. Yet a conflict between these countries is easily within the possibilities. There has long been bad blood between them , grow ing out of border tronbles and mut ual desire to gobbble up Ur uguay. This lltttlo republic lies between them like a nut , ready to bo cracked , and her unhappy internal con dition makes it not at all improbable that her neighbors may one of those days bo flighting for her possession , and particularly for the important seaport of Montevideo , which Brazil has already bwlce owned. The present strained re lations of th.o countries are said to be immediately duo , however , to the claims of the Argentine Republic to Brazilian territory on the Parana frontier , [ t has been seized , ' In fact , md military engineers are said to tiave made long trips Into Brazil to study the topography and resources of the re- ; lon. There is clearly a good deal of jxcltomont in both countries' growing out of these transactions , and a fast- growing hankering after a fight : while Doth countries hare of late months boon putting themselves as nearly as they cm ) n a war footing. Neither Is In fighting ; rlra , Brazil less so than her neighbor , ; hoogh probably in the long run her superior resources would bring her out victorious. It will give the Australians no pleasure to realira that Germany is In earnest in planting the imperial ilig on Islands in ; hu Pacific. Ono of the doctrines now popular In Australasia , and by the Lon- lon press aptly called "tho Monroe doc- rluo of the Pacific , " holds that no terri tory south of the equator and east ot lati- : ude 140 ° east shall in future bo acquired iy any power but that of the confederated British colonies. The islands recently taken by Germany fall within this limit , and it will bo Interesting to see whether the Australians will attempt to act in do- fence of their ambitions declarations. The Swiss confederation has just had its presidential election , too , Tno feder al assembly of the two houses elect a federal - oral council of seven , and these aolect a president of the council who is the recog nized head of the confederation. M. Schonck , last year's vice president , was elected according to custom , and the first move of thn council , which is radical in politics , will bo to put a high duty on al cohol , purely as a temperance meas ure. There are signs of renewed agitation in Ireland , and there is apparently some want of harmony in the cabinet a to the manner of dealing with them. At all events members of the government out side the cablaet are allowed to talk about the matter in a very contradictory way. Mr. Campbell-Bannorman , for instance , who succeeded Mr. Trevelyan as secretary for Ireland , has boon making a speech in which bo declares that the spirit in which Ireland is governed must ba changed , that the Irish are a proud peopla and will not bo rppeased by any concessions made with an air of "benev olent condescension , " Hero he really touched , as an Englishman rarely does , the root of the Irish difficulty. It is this which makes the goodness and bo- nevolenea of really well-meaning Eng lishmen like Mr. Forster and Lord Spen cer , positively exasperating to the people they are sent to rule over. On the other hand , Lord Morley , the under secretary of war , has been making a speech in the house of lords in which ho dwells with much severity on the intractable spirit shown by the Irish , and predicts that it will be necessary to renew the coercion act. If this came from a higher source , it would be a declaration of war , which Parnell would be nothing loth to take up in the new parliament , The report that comes from the Sou dan to the effect that the best laid schemes of Gen. Wolseloy for the relief of Khar toum are thwarted by the machinations of an artful Frenchman Pain by name who serves as advisor of Kl Mahdl , is strange enough , but not altogether in credible , It is said that the wily and adventurous Frenchman has his ( gents at Cairo , with whom ho has established a line of couriers , who nbt only supply him with minute details respecting the move ments of the English expeditionary forces , but also dlsjomlnatoathls bidding misleading information concerning El Mahdi. upon which the British com mander has acted to his sore disadvan tage. Ot course , If this bo true , it niturally excites great indignation on the side of the Kaglish people. But that they can make the nets of this particular Frenchman the pretext of a quarrnl \ > ith Franco , as haa been suggcstoa , Is not to bo supposed for n moment. To impar tial lookers on , the course ot M. Pain , oven though It is to bo lamented , appears t'j bo that of a totally irroeponsiblo indi vidual who is now engaged , and not for the first time either , in a political in trigue , the dire consequences of which may only bo visited upon his own schotn ing head.
