" This o\pn-sion of political opinion will be indorsed hy Dr. Miller , who felt , constrained in a late Issue of llio Herald lo use Iho following language witli re gard to olllco-pcddlingi "Tho Her- aid can say lor ItH editor and , us ho is free to assume , for tlio democratic masses in the st.tto , Unit lucre is something better after nil , for him and for thorn to do than to control appoint ments to ollloo.Yu ilc not know that Mr. Itoyd has ovprossed himself on Ihe subject , but if ho has not , we prophesy that he will , and in vigorous language before many more moons wax and wane. There is pcrhaiH nothing new in this admitted disadvantage of political in- Iliienco in the democratic party , but. il is impressing itself on a set of men to whom the experience will prove as disagreeable in .some respects as it is novel. Tlio friouds made in olllco-dispcusing arc few. The enemies made are legion. PosfltMsioti of the oflices may bring parly strength in the handling of tlio machinery of the government , but it brings UH well party weakness in the factionalism which it engenders , tlio enmities which it creates , and the disappointments which follow in its wako. It works both ways , a.i democrats outside as well us inside of Nebraska are discovering to their perplexity. ' The lOii l'sh ' Imml Question. The laud reformers of England headed by Hitch loader.s as Gladstone anil Cham berlain arc making it vigorous and ug- yresiive fight against tlio vested rights and complicated regulations behind which the great landlord monopoly in Great IJritain has bulwarked itself for centuries. Year by year since tlio time of Richard III. , peasant proprietorship in Kugland has boon steadily decreasing until to-day the statistics show that 1,203 aristocrats own one-fourth the entire aoreago of tlio United Kingdom , while the remainder is parodied out among a few thousand of titled landlords with it sprinkling of smaller proprietors. Vast areas of tlicso tracts are devoted to parks and game preserves , while millions of the iHK > r Bvvarm in narrow yards and yardlcss tenements , and those that are divided up into tenant farms are HO cum bered by regulations in tlio interests ot thu proprietor or burdened by suoh heavy rental , as to make them unprofitable. The law and the customs of entail per- potnato lliis system of largo land holding , and render it impossible for cheated tradesmen to scl/o tlio possessions of their titled dobtors. ( Irongor children sco grunt estates pass undivided to their moro fortunate brothers , and investors who desire to purchase are blocked by the tromond ous cost of real estate trans fers in England and by the pernicious de vice of life interests whioli prohibit most noblemen from soiling any portion of their estates. From all of these classes comes the de mand for a change in tlio laud laws which will make tlio division of laud easier and ehoapur. Gladstone has do- elared for the abolition of primogeniture and Iho law of entail. Ho also favors Iho reform of tlio conveyance and mortgage laws , witli the object of making it as easy to transfer real estate and for creditors to secure themselves upon it as is now Iho ease witli other properly. Olhor and moro radical loaders are beginning to openly demand Iho parcolingoutofsoinu of tin-so vast tracts in agrioultural Eng land into farms and their sale at a fair valuation to farmers. When this reform is accomplished , tlio days of thu English aristocracy and the monarchy will bo numbered. Class rule In the IIOIIHO of lords , the established oliuroh and the throne , will oaoli in turn follow the breaking down of the last great bulwark of the titled gentry vast landed estates , whioli can be held socnro troin creditors and in the possession of ono representa tive family. NATIMIAL UAH a ? a fnol at "Plu&burg IIIIH enabled the manufacturers in that city to out down their expenses , and eon > spfpicnlly place thumsolvos in n position to underbid all oiitsidu competitors.

It is only just to say , however , that while this disproves any intent of jobbery on the pirl of Un com ullluti it docs not oxetiso tliniu from the charge of carolcssiioss. The incident , will not bo thrown aw.iy if it leaches others as well us the gentlemen investigated to keep Ihcircycs nppn when signing what tlioy believe to be "mere routine reports. " making the necessary arrangements to take care of its insane poor under its own pei'Minal supervision , Douglas county not only makes a saving in dollars lars and cents but places il lf in line with the opinions of the. highest medical authorities us to the host motho.l of pro viding for the.so iinfortuiiat . Dr. Tuko , of London , has just published avoliim- on American insane asylums , In which he gives Ihe highest praise lo Iho Wiscon sin system of maintaining the insane poor in county almshouscs. The chief advantages of the plan to the patients consists in the greater freedom all'or.lcd them and the iihs-iiicu of crowding which is one of the worst faults of the largo uxyluin system. Experience proves that patients recover much more fre quently wliuro tho. number collected in any one community or ward is small. This fact in some stato.s , notably in Massachusetts , lias led to the boarding out of the insane in private families where supervision is careful hut actual restraint nmall and where insanity is mollified by association witli tlio.su not similarly afl'ected. There is no doubt that when the insane ward at the poor house is built , it will bo bolter for both taxpayers and palionU. Tun street cur company should bo com pelled to heal its cars during the winter. We believe that under the m-vv eliarliif Iho city has the right to order the com pany to warm its ears , and it is to bo hoped that the council will exercise its right. Cars arc now heated in several of llio loading cities , and thorn is no good reason why it should not bo done in Omaha. The public not only demands it , but it would patronise the cars much more liberally In winter if tlioy wi-ro made comfortable. The mcroanoof trav el would more than cover the expense of heating. As it is now , many persons would rather walk in winter Ihan to ride in a refrigerator on wheels. ArcoitniKO to the rccentsupromo court decision in Indiana in regard to the charging of "extras , " in order to avoid the legal rate of $1 ! a your for thu use of telephones , the word "telephone" is hold to include nil that is necessary for the purpose of holding conversation. The telephone company , it will bo remembered - bored , relied principally upon the claim that thu telephone did not include all thu apparatus essential for long-distance talking , and that therefore a rental of ff0 ! ! per j'oiir for the telephone could not restrict it from charging inoro for complete service. As WAS to lie expected the railroads arc bringing every possible force to boar in bolialf of Judge Mitchell , of Ihe second district , whoso seat is to bo contested by quo warranto proceedings in tlio supreme premo court. Everything is being done by the railroads to devise H > mu means of relieving tlio supreme court from per forming its duty. In other words , the programme is to side-track llio supreme court so that it can dodge the main ques tion. It is to be hoped that the .supremo court will not allow itself to bu disgraced In the eyes of tlio people w ! i nrq closely watching its course in this matter. AKOTIIKIC newspaper man has boon honored with a postollico in the case of Mr. Watkins , of the Kluta Democrat , who becomes the Lincoln Nasby. This Is strictly in accordance with llio Herald's general principles governing such cases , though In this Inst.inoj its editor would probably have gladly made an excep tion.

The figures show that the rate charged Onialnt coal dealers by the Union Pacific , from Omaha to Millurd , nro more than double that ohatgcd by the St. , Paul and Omaha road to Blair , while the rate to Chirks is practically the same as the price for which the railroad com pany is hauling coal from Iowa and de livering it to consumers -At that"station. As dealers , in coal , the railroad company wanls no competition and will have none. Us power as a practical monopo list of transportation facilities through central Nebraska , unable * il to crush out all opposition , and that power is merci lessly used. It is not at all singular that thu rail road commission in Its junketing trip along Iho line of Iho road failed to note this condition of aHuirs. The scandal is of long standing , and lists been exposed time and again by the unsuhsidizcd press of Nebraska. When nearly ' . . ' 00,030 people -of the state are forced to purchase tlfoir fuel Irom a sin gle corporation at rales fixed by by It self , and when all competition is crushed by an arbitrary usj of powers c.onferrei on that corporation by lh" publio , ills high time that the people should consldi r whether or not some remedy for the evil cannot bo found. The failure oC the im potent railroa.l commission to remove such abuses is no doubt very grateful to the coal monopolist ring of the Union Pacific , 1ml it will-only add to the gener al contempt in which this legislative creature of the porporlious is held by the general public.

"I shall not scon forget , " savs the writer , "a in un irahlo d ty and scene during my May in Nebraska while in tiie company of President D.ivid H.

Mr. Perry begun to regain Ids health and naturally was quickly pounced upon as a promising man ( o be at the head of the college in embryo at Crete. He accepted the trust and lias witnessed a rapid and mn-t. sub stantial growth in what has become his cherished and pet institution. I will give in his own words his account of' the changes that have com , ' over the state in the matter of rainfall and weather "When I came lit-rcin 187.J very many people were incrcdulousof the growth of I his state.

We nave much moro rain , and it is more evenly distributed over the year Uian it used to bo. Wo have fewer and fewer wind storms , and the heated winds that did such mischief do not trouble us at all. See for yourself the crops we raise ! Look at that corn field. There are .200 solid acres as fine as any iu I lie world. " "Well , but what has induced so great a change ? Are you sure il is pormanentr" " 1 am sure it is permanent because I know what has caused il. Hundred of t lousunds of acres , year after year , wore plowed up and the soil rendered porous. You know vvts are the great soldier stato. There was a vast army of men at llio close of the war , who went homo to lind t icirold places occupied und Ihoiroccnpa- lion gone. They caino out hero. They put in their homestead and tiinbcrchiiins for government laud and wont vigor ously to work at farming. Tlio people nt Beatrice have a Grand Army reunion next week and they count on OJ.iWJ of the boys being thero. Such wide-spread tillage of wholly new land has prepared the surface soil to receive and retain moisture. The corn ils"lf , by its shade , prevents rapid evaporation. So do our countless groves. 'Arbor day * is a great institution out lioro , as you can anywhere and everywhere sue. " "And you think tlio moisture in the earth Increases Iho rainfall ? " "Most certainly. The influence of Iho clouds ami soil become reciprocal. " "IStit what should affect the winds so remarkably ? " "This same circumstance of a more moist atmosphere. The air is heavier , less volatile. Hcs'dcs the groves arc very important in their inlluunuo in breaking Iho force of tlio wind It can not now sweep across the state as if we were a Bin-el of water. The groves con stantly interrupt it and break its force. " "It seems almost incredible that so radical a change should have occurred so soon. " "Yes , 1 would not-believe it if I had not seen it and felt it. You can judge for yourself whether wo are troubled to raise crops. Lust year Iho railroads tliuwolvos were dismayed at the corn to 1)0 moved.

Babies are eve.rvwhori1 They go to the harvest , liavoeoledratioiis like anybody else , and drown out tin struggling o rater with remarks of thoii own. They go to church , and do not hesitate to interrupt the niost aiKstero presentation ot C'alvlnlstiedootriuim witli n cheerful prattle that is allogethei reassuring. Last evening I attended a line dedication service ot a JowLsh sjm- ngogin Kansas City , and in the in augural procession lo the alter vvhili organ and choir pealed out a splendid aiithcin , a pretty , little black-haired creature bore Ihe great Bible , two other little girls scattered Mowers. , mid anothci carried and presented the emblematical key. It may be a universal custom but .seemed especially appropriate , in this of little folks , to nave the children to the fore. The earnest words of tin rabbis , which followed , wore not more impressive than the simple dumcanor of tlio-ie dark-eyed , pretty little girls. The children seem as healthy as numerous. I believe the coining generation at the We.st will be the peer of any Aiiu-nc-ii lias produced , abounding in men and women of high health and line nerve , of manly and womanly diameter. "Now We've ( Jot 'Km. " ChovennoSun : The Sun is informed that the Mormons who go to work for the Union Pacific at Hook Springs are re quired to sign an agreement not to strike and not join or afliliate with any labor organization , lint our informant fails testate state whether there is a section in this agreement requiring the miner to pay Iteckwitii , Quinn As Co. ? . " ! a sack for Hour and $ t a keg for blasting powder. Tlio agreement is not complete without this. II should also contain it provision compelling the miners to itbstain from making any complaint of ill usage , as they would not receive any attention at headquarters , judging from the past. And while tlio agreement was being printed it would have been very little more ovponao to have added u clause re quiring the miners to take oil' their hats upon meeting a Mongolian. The penalty for violation of the agree ment is not stated but it should be some thing dreadful , as labor organi/.ations are bad , very bad for monopolies. Only capitalists should bo allowed to organ- i/.o. It is Ilii ) proper tiling for railroads to pool their issues and hold up the gen eral public , charging ten times the or dinary freight rates. It is lovely to see a company charge $ li.r/J a ton for coal atone ono place and haul it over 40 ! ) miles far ther to be sold at $0.00 , and it is elegant to charge the government $3.00 freurht on u ton of coal to Cheyenne , when it is belling the coal at 11 less figure. Of course tlio Union Pacific would not take anyunfair advantage of the government , nor would it receive money for town lots nnd refuse to give title. But those bad workiiigincn who allllliate with each other and somutinvis quit work are a hopeless set. If they would only submit quietly to two dollars a day , and take tnoir nay in poor Hour at live cents a p muJ.wit'jr ut thirty-'ivo oonti a barrel mid drop into a hack seat when the coolie came around there would bo a prospect of their redemption , Chinamen are the best became finy nro submissivo. No kiekoo like Molican man , and they can bu packed together like spoons subsisting on rico and rats , and clothed at an expense of JJJ cents for tin entire aiiit , But to return to that tigrecmpnt , which is a very solemn thing : Whim it was first invented it made the signeo shudder. But by familiarity its terrors have some what abated. It really looks at lirstsight inoro appalliugthtm it subsequently pans out. out.No agreement of this kind liua over prevented a man getting a job nor ob taining ids wages ; and wo are told Unit It has not Interfered with the growth of llibor orgiiiiizolIoiiH , The tact is that it has n tendency to cnconrago their growtli because this strategy of the oniiniy Is-re- garded as nn admission of the usufuliiess of labor irgani/.atlons and a confession that they are feared. To make it oll'eolivo the company ought to increase the pay of Its miners sulllcienl to allow tiiem to build .small houses , and then tiiko a mortgage , condi tioned that the men do not associate to gether. This thought is suggested by Iho company's proposal a year ago to take the homc-iot' their employes who had ac cidents upon the railroads , in liquidation of damages. "Tho Mystery ol' ninry KI JOI-H.
