IUIKICI : Sri.in AX claims that the newspaper reporters invented all those Morics against .Marshal Cuminings. Now let the marshal summon the reporters as witnesses in that investigation nnd , if wo are not mistaken , they will show that truth crushed to earth , by Mr. Sullivan , will rise again , and put lUr.

T. , whence it \Tii ! ! ; ; pushed in the .spring to the Hlaek hills. The next in length is the Ktinsai City , Clinton & Springfield extension of the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Oulf sys tem .south to Ash ( irove , Mo. , I' " . ) miles from the junction with the main line. The most important work in Iho east has been done on thu extension of the Haiti- mote & Ohio railroad from Haltimore to Philadelphia , on which the track has now all been laid , about eighty-live miles having been added during the last year. Another very important work has been iJonii in California by the extension of the California Southern road eighty-one miles to a connection wilh the Atlantic & Pacific , thus giving a continuous line under practically the same management j I from Kansas City and Si. Louis to Los Angeles and San liego. Thu nextlonge.sl extension has been made in Florida by Iho Jacksonville , Tampa & Key West railroad of nearly sixty-live miles front 1'nlntka to Sanford , and this line has virtually been extended by the Atlantic Coast , St. Johns & Indian River company thirty-six miles further toTitusvillo. The 1'lorida Southern road has also added eighty-four miles of new line in the south eastern part of Florida , and a nttmAor of short roads have been practically com pleted in that state. " The total trackage of the United Stales i.s now 128-i)2 ! ) , of which 51,708 miles have been laid dur ing the past ton years. The Aye concludes its summary with the following hopeful prediction : "There is every indi cation that 18S5 has marked the lowest point m amount of railway extension for some years to come , and that 1880 will bo signalized by a very large increase of con-truction. indeed , work has already been commenced on some thon-ands of miles of proposed road , and an extraor dinary number of new enterprises have been projected , while others are coming daily into existence. . The outlook for the coining year is therefore full of hope for manufacturers nnd all others interested directly or indirectly in railway con struction , and hence it seems certain to be a year of general prosperity in this country. " The I'ccrft' Hill. The cable brings the news 4lhat Lord Salisbury's ' cabinet will decline to face the Irish opposition in thu coming parlia ment , and that the premier has formu lated a bill for modilic.il homo rule in Ire land with a view of securing the 1'arnell- ito support. The details of the forthcom ing measure are meagre , but enough is reported to indicate that its concessions will fall far short ot what the Irish na- lionali.sls are demanding as Iho linal set tlement of the problem. Still the minis terial bill will bo a slop far in advance of the present and towards the desired end. it proposes to extend the county frrtnchiso in Ireland to the peasantry to create local councils for the administration of revenues and expenditures , to grant them powers which will enable them to take charge of licensing , of education and of the fee question , to yield to them the right to acquire laud for public pur poses and then to let it out again lo small owners in short , lo give to Irish representatives of the Iri.sh people a measure of homo rule which only falls short of being complete from the fact that the imperial council reserves to iLselt n power of supervisory action. This a decided change from the bluster of a fortnight ago when any alliance with 1'arnell on a homo rule platform was in dignantly repudiated by Lord Itandolph Churchill and his lory following. The threats of a liberal alliance , of a vote of confidence and of an nssaillt upon the hereditary privileges of the peers have had their ullbct. Lord Salisbury and his ermincd followers are not anxious lo test the feeling of Kngland upon the question of retaining its titled legislators as n. reactionary power at Westminster. The temper of tlio newly enfranchised Hedge loans more to the side of Chamberlain's radicalism than to that of the Cecil's lory conservatism. The peers will now bid for I'urnoll's sup port as every party has done during the ) > nst twelvemonth. Mr. . ( Jladstono is re ported as serenely watching events and as preferring that the first draft of homo rule should como from Lord Salisbury. Ho recognizes that whoever makes the first move places himself at a di.sud' vantage and stands ready to overtrump any card thai his political adversaries may play. When Lord Salisbury suc ceeds in passing his proposed measiiro of Irish reform it will not bo a matter of surprise if the liberals through their leader "raiso" the bid of thu peers for the Parnollito support. Tlia Doiuoot-Htlo Agony. The prose-nt condition of the democracy in Nebraska reminds us of the republic of San Marino. This Halo political divi sions-is the smallest in the world and while comprising only twonty-threo squaio miles of a run , but has all the ma chinery and heart burnings of the largest republic. Nebraska has IJVi.OOJ voters. Of this number not more- than U,000 are pure and simple democrats. lint the Kilkenny cat fight now in progress among this political fragment is like a tempest in a tea pot. For twonty-fivo years thu old moss-backs and wheel- horses of the democracy in Nebraska have becu pr.tying for a ohunuu at the llcsh pots nnd now they are tearing ; themselves nil to pieces in a scramble over meatless bones. Among all tlio republican states Nebraska is torn up worst about tlio distribution of oflices with smaller returns for thn wear and tear. To these in. the gallery who arc not interc-ted in this deadly struggle the spectacle i a comical one Several great nif-n who have contracted for future de Ihory are Ju t now very short on the ii-is'kct. ( tambllngon political futures in Nebraska ! : : < become very unprofitable , and the leading oprM'at'T his : pulled out of the pit announcing hiretiremr : .t in double leads. Unlike Jay Gould who did the = antr thing ome weeks ago , there is a suspicion that u collapse in his politi cal Mock * is responsible for this game of po nm lut ! the smaller operators all over the state who banked on hi- pointers feel nonplu cd at this sudden change In the temper of the political stock exchange and are hnrryinc to cover their shorts. It hvLjasif the Mortonian "bears" would have it iii ? ! ! ' own way for a little while until the Miller "bull" ri-J ready to make another onslaught. Meantime the republican olllce holders who remain are enjoying the performance hugely. They are warming their oll'icial chairs and drawing their salaries with great regularity. The reces * is over , the senate i in -e-ion , confirmations hang lire nnd the front door of the while liou-o is closed. Let the tight go on and the devil take the hindmo-t. To republi can servants of the peojile in this slate , eh 11 service reform and the democratic jamboree have been a blessing in di-gni-e. Our roi'i'l n Tt-aUe. The fifth monthly statement of our ex ports and imports from foreign countries ln just boon published by the treasury department. The showing is not alto gether satisfactory when compari-on is made with the corresponding period of last year. For November , lor in stance , the balance in our favor is nearly one-half Jethan for the same month of ISSt. Last month our merchandise export * amounted to ! ? ( J7WISy ! , ; ; , whereas for the correspond ing month last year thu valuation was $78,80170. ( ! These figures show n de crease of more than $11,000.000.

' , 107 , that be ing the difrc.rc.ncc between the balance in favor of the United Slates compared with the corresponding live mouths of last year. A large p.irt of this reduction is due to the decreased exports of grain , and this in turn is chiefly owing to the growing dilliciilty of nompctition in foreign markets. This in turn i.s the re sult of high transportation charges to the seaboard. While American producers are forced to pay interest ch.irge-s on i7,000OOIOOJ ) of inllaled railroad debentures theeo-t of transportation must continue to be a bur- densoiijii barrier to our entrance into the foreign grain markets. And while a dis- torled and unequally arranged InrilV shuts out our manufacturers from the free ex change of commodities out-idu ot this country by increasing the cost of produc tion above what it is in competing coun tries , the double disadvantage of over production at home and no market for the surplusage abroad must operate to still further lower thu credit .side of the lodger of our foreign trade. AN important decision regarding the civil rights of colored people has been made by the Iowa supreme court. A negro who v\as refused admi ion to a theatre because of his color , appealed it to the law , when the circuit court held that it did not appear from the averments that the plainlili' had any legal right to enter the place ot amusement. The .su preme court allirms this ruling and says : "The act complained of by the plainl'tll' was the withdravval"by the defendant- to him , of the oiler which they hid : made to admit him , or to contract wilh him for admission. They had the right to do this , as to him or any other member of the public. This rigid is not based upon the lact that he belongs to a particular race , but arises from the consideration that neither ho nor any other person could demand as a right under the law that the privilege-of entering thu place bo accorded to him. " Tin : United States supreme court has afllrmcd the constitutionality of the principle of stale and interstate regula tion of railroads. The case in which the railroad commission of Ml lsippi were defendants has settled forever the fear that any bill for the national regulation of interstate commerce would bo over thrown by the supreme court on consti tutional grounds. Some of the railroad tools among the congressmen and senators who have boon apologizing for their opposition to bills for railroad regulation on the ground that they would never stand the test of the courts will now have lo prospect for a now argument. The old ono i played out. Ai.Tiioi'oii the election of a succe.s or for ( lovornor Dawcs i.s in the ha/.y dis tance of the future , candidates are hejng announced with a frequency which shows that thu conventions will not Jack for material on which to experiment.

AT a recent sale of unclaimed baggage in Omaha a man made the air blue with oaths on discovering that he had paid bus en dollars for his lost trunk.

Farmers will gather in the grocery , the saloon , and other unprofitable places of re-orl for , seemingly , the sole purpo-o of discus-ing never-failing theme. Time enough will be spent in this fruit less manner to liquidate the whole public debt , it we reckon fair wages , such us any ordinary profitable business would jield were this time so employed instead of being fritted away in idle grumbling.

Perhaps this is a little harsh on the farmers. The , } certainly have much reason for grumbling. No reasonable , thinking man can fail lo see thai farm ers are taxed out of all just proportion us compared with other elas-cs. The nioiicj-lender , note -jhaver and land- -hark in ireitcral pays less tax on his * . : } . ) , - 000 working capital than the poor harra cd tanner on his little patch of land llial would hardly sell tor a tenth part of the above-mentioned sum. His land is mortgaged , perhaps lor all it is worth , but he must pay the taxes , upon what i.s reall.v the property ol another , 'lhat noble creature , the banker , being a very philanthropic per.son in the estima tion of Uncle bam , and born lo do good to his tellow-men by opening up paths to commerce , is kindly exempted Irom tax ation excepting upon the bricks nnd mor tar that enter into his humble abode or modo-l Tittlehop. . He is one of the great civiluers ot the nineteenth cen tury , and he mu-l be encouraged lo amtismillions. . And then that landed , tilled , and inonicd aristocrat , the rail road king , cannot be hampered in his on ward march and conquest ( of public do main ) with thn annoying experience of tu.x-pajing. lie , too , is a great public bcneftii lor , and nin-t be. encouraged to gobble up what the bankers don't got.

Two suits wi. brought in the lower courts , one in vvhL i the New Orleans ( ! as Light eompaiiv w.i. an appcllaiil. another in which Hie Louis ville ( ! a Light company wa.s an appel lant. The-o eompanic.s conleudcd that the states of Louisiana and Kentucky were hound under contract to see that their riirhls were not invaded. The New Orleans ( ! : is company claimed that for ' llfti years lroi 1S.T . ) it' has a right lo ex clusive privileges in manufacturing gtu , and urged the supreme court lo perpetu ally enjoin the Louisiana Light and Heat .Producing Manufacturing company from [ interfering vvith its monopoly. Overrid ing a clause in tlie stale constitution , and basing their decision on the prohibitory clause ill the federal constitution against "impairing the obligations of contracts , " the supreme court-a.vs that monopolies are not detrimental to the public welfare , and thai exclusive privileges are not at war wilh the republic , and the only man ner in which a stale can et rid of any monopolistic corporation is to buy out the rights and iraueliises under iN power of eminent domain. When , therefore , : i slate grants any corporation delined pri vileges , it becomes a coutr.ict to bo backed by the whole judicial authority oflhe United Slatesandinh vested righln must be taken and paid for \v helhrr the state wants them or not. There i.s no other relief. Under licit decision the slate of New York can ; ; i\e no other re lief lo the people who may suH'er from gas or railroad opprc ion , than to become - come a purchaser oflhe one and the other corporation. Thus the beneficiary becomes the mtislcr ; the .stale becomes the eietilnnvul ils own creation. For Iho next half century a gaslight company in Kcw Orlcan- can dcl.v tlio Mate and run its extortions to an , > icnglh without fear of rival. So , al-o , is the permanence of monopoly in every cily of the union. Kvery Juwjcr "Knows that the Dartmouth college decision settled the question with all right think ing men that a grant by a state was not in the nature ot a contract , and that no clause in the federal constitution made it .so. That was .sound law , bill the latest fiat of the stijireine court is so unsound that : i justice of the peace would bo a.-hamcd of it. Docs not tins outrageous infraction of stale and popular rights in dicate somctijingmorcthan what appears on the face of the appeals ? The preen- ilcnl of compulsory purchase i.s fixed by thi i ! court. The central views of the jus tices i of the court amount to consolidation of power at Washington. The federal government can now buy Jay Gould's worn out wires lor a po-lul Iclcgranh ; and , singularly enough , Semiior Kd- nmnds i , immediately alter the decision , introduced i a po-td : telegraph bill.
