Tin : democrats of Illinois still have faith in Mr. Morrison , us wits shown in tlio notion of the legislative caucus nominating him for United States senator. Under tlio circumstances it was si very great compliment , ami is doubtless ex- reedingly gratifying to tlio recipient. The loyalty of Mr. Morrison's constit uents is duo to tlioir strong confidence in his political honesty , and his worst enemy , if candid , will concede that much to him , Ho is certainly not a brilliant man , nor even a shrewd politician , but lie is a hard worker , ho is conscientious in his aims , and ho has the courage of his convictions. Ho is not likely to bo permitted , to remain out of active politics. THE propositions embodied in a bill passed by tlio lower house of congress relating to tlio restriction of jurisdiction of federal courts will meet with general npprov.il. It proposes to put an end to Iho abuse of the federal courts bycorpor- utions who remove all civil cases from the state courts to those of the United States on the slightest possible pretext. This is especially a favorite dodge of the railroads who for some hidden reason find , jnora-fiiYoc , witk fp.dnrnl. district , judges ana federal juries than with these of the stale courts. In Nebraska a suit for damages against a corporation which is svvitehed oil'into the federal court in variably results favorably to the ccrpor- con. No doubt a more or less similar tiondition of affairs exists elsewhere. IT appears from the statements of the annual message of the governor of New Jersey that the railroads of that state have been receiving immunity from taxa tion to a most generous extent , and the governor calls upon the legislature to remedy the wrong thus done to other taxpayers. lie fortifies Ins argument for the desired legislation with truth-telling liguies , showing that the total tax value of property In the state , outside of rail road property , is about $000,000,000 , ; that upon this a local and county tax and the fitato school tax there is no state tax ex cept for schools of abont,500,000isiin- ! ) posed and collected ; that the average rate of taxation all over the state is therefore § 1.50 on the hundred , ami that railroad properly pays $800,000 loss at the one per cent , rate than it would if it wore taxed us other property. The figures further show just what the value of railroad as compared with other property is in each taxing district in the state , nnd just what part of his Jocal taxes the taxpaj'or in each com lunnily would bo relieved of if an act im posing equal taxation on railroad and individual property were passed. Tlio experience ot New Jersey in this matter is not exceptional. The taxpayers of roost of the states are subjected to a similar injustice. But no other state is morn completely dominated by the rail roads than New Jersey , and it remains to bo soon whether their inflnenco can be overcome , even with the indisputable facts so strongly against them. MOST people do not know what an ex pensive matter the objection of a senator to a nomination sent to the sonata for continuation may bo. It is the privilege of ix snnator making such objection to ask for an investigation , and this is ehown by the secretary of tlio scnnto to bo generally a costly proceeding , lie twcen the 1st of 1'obruary and the ! ! 0lh of Juno last year the average cost of live in vcstigntloim was over f 1,000 each. Each person summoned as a witness before an Investigating committee receives ? 3 a day for attendance nnd traveling ex penses at the rate of G cents a mile from his starting point to Washington and re turn. There is always a snug little bill of expenses incurred by somebody in Fiimmonin'j witnesses , which includes everything sponl on the trip down to tips ( or porters nnd waiters , For example the rejection of Geode , of Virginia , nom inateil to bo solicitor general , which was demanded by Mahone , cost the people nearly $1,200 , while the investigation of the charges against the son of Henri Ward Uoochor , nominated to bo collector of customs in the district of I'uget Sound cost nearly $2,000 , owing to the fact that most of the witnesses were brought from Washington territory. Tlio nomination was finally withdrawn by the president and Captain lleechor has just been rccog nixed , or rather his father's services in behalf of Mr. Cleveland , by appointment as a special agent of the treasury Without questioning the wisdom that gave the senate the power of continua tion , it is evident from the later use that has been made of the power that it muj become both troublesome uud costly. The hast Iioopholc. It remained for Senator1 Kvarts , who ' enjoy ? a certain distinction as n constitu tional lawyer , and Ihoroforo feels called , ipon at every opporlunily to vindicate ils claim to that tille , to discover an < l proclaim that Iho intcr-slalo commerce ) lll reporlcd by Ihc conference commit- Ice Is unconstitutional With puerile in genuity ho sought to mike a noint of the 'act that the words "intcr.slato" had jcen omilled from Ihc title , which was doubtless merely an oversight and of course does not possess the slightest sig- nilicaneo. It is needless to say that in the view of Iho New York senator the uucon- stilulional fealtircs of Ihe bill are Iho [ ourlh and Hflh clause * , relating to the long and short haul and to pooling , which are the only clauses seriously ob- jeclcd to by the railroads. All other | ) ortions of the blllaro wilhin the sphere of law-making and consistent with the jurisdiction of Iho federal government uvor the subject of commerce. That is , It is competent for the government to do- claio that all transportation charges shall reasonable nnd just , and to prohibit and declare unlawful these nol so ; to lirovido against unjust discrimination by a common carrier in the granting of any special rale , rebate , drawback or oilier device ; lo declare it unlawful for any common carrier to make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or ad vantage to any particular person , ( inn , , company or corporation , or to any lo callty , or nny particular description of Iraflie ; to require every common carrier to afford all reasonable , proper and equal facilities for the interchange of tralllc , and for receiving , forwarding and delivering passengers and property between Ihcir respective lines ; lo require Ihal rates and faros and charges for the transportation of passen gers and properly shall bo made public : lo provide Unit no advance in rates , fares and charges shall bo nuulo except after ten days' public notice Ihoso require ments and provisions the government may make , in llie opinion of Mr. Kvarts , without exceeding ils jurisdiction over llie subjecl of commerce or going outside the sphere of law-making , but it goes be yond its constitutional authority when it attempts to protect the people against tlio short haul oxaclioti or prohibits railroad corporations from combining under the syslom of pooling. It is very convenient to have a consli- lulional lawyer at hand when the practi cal objections to a public measure are in adequate or have lost their effect , nnd the railroad corporations are fortunate in having several such always ready in Iho senate. Undoubtedly Mr. Evarts and some of those have worked together very industriously to discover this lasl loop hole in Iho interest of the corporations , probably assisted therelo by Mr. Chaunoy Dopcvv , Iho president of llie Now York Central , who also must have a keen scent for the fine points of constitutional law. lut ! the impression thai will bo made by this objection of Mr. Kvarts to tlio conference bill , while it may serve to aid those op posed lo it on very different grounds to justify their opposition , is not likely lo bo very deep or general. Most intelligent people will conclude that Ihoso alleged unconstitutional cluiISCS iKLViUP been ilUonaonrl tnf no. , it is now , when congress is forced by public sontimonl lo lake aclion on Ihc subject involved , prelly lalo to discover that they do not belong to Iho sphere of law making. What , it will nalurally bo asked , has been Iho matter with the law yers in both branches of congress during llie past ten years , ns well as the astulo railroad attorneys , Ihal Ihoy did not long ago point out llio nnconslilntionality , and therefore the futility , of such legislation ? What a vast expenditure of controversy and cashL'such a disclosure mighl have saved if made early in Ihc hislory of llus subjecl. Nor will anybody be eilher per suaded or alarmed by Iho fustian of Mr. Kvarts lhat Iho proposed legislation would tend "to make tlio union less per fect , to disestablish justice , and insure domestic discord. " It is tlio very opposite - site of this stale of tilings which llie people ple expect from a regulation of the yasl corporalo power lodged in Iho railroads that will compel them to have regard for Iho public inlcresls and lo deal justly and equitably with the people. The dangers Mr. Kvarts affects to fear from Ihc conference bill are far more certain lo come if Iho unscrupulous policy of cor porations and the greed of monopolies are po rmillcd lo go on unchecked and uncontrolled. Other Imnds Than Ours. The absorbing topic of interest abroad during the week past has been the strug gle between Bismarck and tlio Gorman reichstag over the bill to increase the army and to extend its life over another seven years of service. Opposition to the measure arose from Iho growing dis satisfaction among liberals at the enor mous burden of taxation with which the maintenance of an army of moro llian 3,000,000 men weights down the German people. Advocacy of the bill , in which Bismarck himself took a leading part , oc cupied the ground of military necessity and the requirements of the times to maintain peace against Iho possibility of Fiench aggression , Prince Uismarck was brutal in his frank ness. Ho unhesitatingly discussed every mooted toplo of continental interest , justified Russia's altitude towards Bul garia , passed over Austria's fears of approaching preaching trouble , snubbed England by a bare mention nnd then devoted himself to Franco. The bugbear of French re venge for the loss of Alsaro and Lor raine was hold once more up to view uud tlio oft repeated remark thai peace in the future could only bo maintained by a strong standing army and watchful pre cautions in the present was again thun dered in tlio cars of the listening dele gates , coupled with a threat of the instant dissolution of the reiehstag in case the parliament declined to assent to the imperial decree.V . THE influence of Herr Windthorst and the members of the extreme left and con- tre > was'suflicleul on Fiiday to defeat the government proposal for an increase of the general army establishment by-11,000 , and an extension of Iho soplonate. An amendment limiting the duration of the bill to three years was earned by a vote of 160 to 154 , tlio socialists and most of the Alsatian members having abstained from voting , Evidently anticipating tills result , Hismarok immediately after the vote road tin imperial message dis solving the roiclftng. Subsequent * an imperial decree win issued fixing Febru ary " 1 for holding tlio general election for mombqrs of tap now roicLaiag. Thus tlio government will carry Its appeal directly to the people , reiving upon their patriot ism to sustain Its demand in what is evi dently regarded as a supreme cttecncy. It is to little purpose now to predict what the result of this course will be , but it is safe to say that Germany has probably never c.\pr"ienccd n period of more in tense political interest llian will occur belwceu now and the day of election next month , * The reconstruction of She English cabl' net , made necessary by the retirement of Lord Churchill , has been completed , out the result can hardly l > o regarded ns in the direction of improvement. Mr. Goschcn , thr liberal-unionist , becomes chancellor of the exchequer , a position which for twenty years has carried with it the leadership of the commons : W. H. Smith , n very slight person , is trans ferred from the war office to the llrst lord of the treasury , Edward Stanhope taking his place as war secretary. Lord Salisbury himself assumes his old duties ns foreign secretary , an act which lias created great irritation * among the denser lories , but which will strengthen the ability of the cabinet. The political weakness of the now arrangement is something thai Salisbury is nol responsi ble for , prcn tiled ho could nol prevent Churchill's resignation. New toryism has little or no standing in the ministry , and the liberal-unionists hnvc received nollce to dissolve their connection if they like. The HarliimUm whigs will nol dose so , bul llio Chamberlain radicals are lefl to make what Icrms they c.m with the opposition. * * Political affairs in England have been shrouded by the sudden death of Lord Iddeslcigli , late foreign secietary , better known to the world as Sir Stafford North- cote. Ho was an honorable and able man , and the tribute of Mr. John Morley , that he was the "most rcspcetcd member of the opposition party , " was deserved. Ho hold various ofilccs under the British crown , had boon chancellor of the exche quer , and lory premier. Ho was Disraeli's favorite lender in tlio house of commons when Disraeli himself wont to tlio house of lords in obedience to Victoria's and his wife's wishes. As chief financial minister ( chancellor of the exchequer ) he carried out the policy of Mr. Gladstone , whose private secretary he wits for two years (1813-1845) ( ) . Asa tory ho inclined to whiggery. Lord Idilesleigh was in his C9th year. Jlo had been foreign secretary in the Salisbury cabinet and was com pelled lo resign on account of his disabil- ilies and infirmities. This probably has- lencd if it did not cause his death. Ho was essentially a gentleman and a man of broad views and generous ideas. V The loporl Unit Austria has concluded an arrangement with Houmania is proba bly corrcct.and affords one moro illuslra- lion of llie way in which the necessities of European countries force them to smother their national prejudices and make hateful compacts. The Roumanians have nothing in common with Austro- Hungary but fear of Russia. In every natural tic they find llio lallor power nearer than Iho former , but they are very much afr.iid of being swallowed up by the monster Muscovite empire , while they have nothing to fear on Iho west lo get llie support of a progressive and vigorous liltle kingdom with a very fair army and a population of some 5,500,000. It must bo peculiarly exasperating to Russia to see such an obstructive , not to say lioslile , attitude assumed by one of the Danubian states , which owe their freedom primarily to Russian interven tion against the Turk. It is not very considerate , surely , but Iho Roumanians in desiring lo be independent are cer tainly no more selfish llian Russia was in all her wars of conquest againsl Turkey. V Tlio mosl inteicsting rumor concerning the papacy which lias been started in Europe of late is that arrangements have been mr.do between the pope and the prince of Monaco for llio former's re moval to Monte Carlo in case llaly goes to war. All the papal offices and busi ness will bo in Mich an event transferred , to stay until a European guaranty shall permit the pope's return to Rome. A Rome correspondent says that the agree ment is in writing , and includes a clause abolishing gambling at Monte Carlo , the revenues of tlio prince being Insured against detriment by an annual indem nity from llio popo. Of course , lee , llie great and constant visitalion and sojourn of priests and devout Roman Catholics would easily overbalance in money value the gamblers and pleasure-seekers now abounding Ihero. But what a marvelous change it will bo for Monaco , if it ever occurs ! And , by the way , why would it not bo a good solution of the difficulty of the pope's position in the capital of hos- Ulo4luly lo exchange Iho Vatican for Monaco at once and permanently ? The little principality would bo territory largo enough for all the colleges and offices of propaganda and pope , nnd it would cease to bo a plague spot of its particular eort. * * There are features in the tonanl ronl war in Ireland which would furnish the artist or novelist abundant material for professional work. Removing all consid erations of a political imlure , Iho conilicl oflntorcsts there makes the scenes intensely - tensely dramatic anil graphic. Witness the raid of the bailiffs upon the remote hamlet of Mnnoe in county Clare. The arrival of 100 policemen was the signal for the gathering of the people , Iho alarm being sounded by the blowing of horns and the ringing of chapel bolls. Resistance to law is wrong , but hunger knows neither right nor wrong ; and the evictions in that .wild settlement wore made in llie face of angry protests and actual violence. Policemen were stoned nnd forced to defend themselves , and they were finally driven out of the village without completing the work of eviction. It is u sorry case , n id common decency should prompt every Englishman to for get politics and look to the interest of the empire by pulling Ireland in a posi- lion where Iho people can earn a living and follow the paths of peace. " . The jlollllcal walers of Denmark con tinue lo bo much troubled. While popu lar rights , ns arrayed against a hated ministry , form the main point of the bit ter Danish dispute , n second is uo is that of heavy military expenditures to bo met by taxes. This makes Ihe question a Ill- tie complex , for the king , the cabinet , and the conservatives , who are all for moro ships , forts and guns , nnd for larger army expenses , feel thai theirs is Iho patriotic view , and denounce the op position wilh unTdened indignation. Some of the oppositio i l ° ° . ni'T ! ' think it uniMlriolie to n.f iso modern defeils for Copenhagen nnd the sound. But others declare it folly to wring taxes trom the people , not for needed expendi tures for their benefit , but In order to waste them on fnrts and lleels lhat cannel - nol possibly resist the prodigious war re source ? of Iho great surrounding nations. They argue that Denmark can only bo saved if attacked by wise diplomacy in seeking alliances' . Above all , the oppo sition note that Ihb army Is the strength of the unpopular cabinet , Ihal fomo of Iho ports that ask defense support it , and thai appropriations go to maintain tlio hated gendarmerie , which brenks up popular meetings , and Is itself , nsthcy be lieve , illegally constituted. Hence , while voting some military appropriations , the 1'olkclhing is apl not to vote all thai are nskcd , nnd last week , although It made largo granls. it refused some Items , and Ihcreupon followed proroguing. % Th o authorities in several continental capitals are now imitating Baron Hauss- maun of the second empire , and trying to do for their cities what ho ( lid for Paris ! . 'Iho wide streets and broad avenues of the French metropolis are being imitated at Rome , at Berlin nnd in the other great towns of Europe. But this rage for im provement is destroying many a rare old monument of Ihc pisl. : In Rome , the antiquarians nnd lovers of the poetic and picturesque are up in arms. They de clare thai all that is interesting in the eternal city will soon fall before Iho laborer's pick. The cdiles of Berlin have been pursuing the same course for several years. Tin : Chicago Xcios ought to bo in bol ter business than that of allowing its Washington correspondent to use the columns of thai paper lo workout his per sonal revenges. Ever since Senator Van Wyck began his canvass Curtis , the cor respondent referred to , has boon sending bogus news to his Chicago paper calcu lated to injure General Van Wyck nnd to Influence public sentiment in opposi tion to his candidacy. Much of the stuff telcgiaphcd is absurd nonsense evolved from the correspondent's imagination and witho.it the slightest foundation in fact. Yesterday lie informed his readers that the editor of this paper was on his way to Washington on a secret mission in advocacy of Van Wyck'3 rc-olcction , and Ihal Dr. Miller"disguised and incognito , was besieging the white house to b'-cak down democratic support for the senator , togelhcr with a lot of olhor information equally reliable. The animus of Curtis' prostitution of the A'cioj to his own ends lies in the fact that Van Wyck once referred to him as a "boy" in speaking of the South Ameri can commission to which junketing ex pedition Curtis was atlached as an orna mental appendage. Mr. Melville Stone is a journalist of great abilities and n gentleman of culture and refinement. Ho is noted as a just and reliable editor. Ho doubtless will only need to have his attention called toyoung Curtis' per formances to read him a lesson on what is and "What is not legitimate news- gathering. THE Hon. cnanes B. Farwell , who will succeed General Logan in the United Stales senate , is a man of character and ability , though as to the last qualification it is altogether practical. Ho will not bo expected to make n record as an orator , but in the commillce work lhat may bo devolved upon him , and in all mailers of a business or praclical charac- ler , Mr. Farwell will bo a valuable mem ber of Ihc senalo. Ho is wealthy , and will undoubtedly maintain an elegant establishment , which will ofcoutso make him welcome to the society of the national - tional capital , UXDEK Iho new charter , all suburban villages organized at the introduction of the bill will be exempted from the cllects of llio extension of tlio city limits. This will exclude South Omaha and leave it free lo rr.ainlain its own government without the expense of Omaha taxes and the bcncfils of Omaha improvements. THE editors who are mourning so deeply over John Roach's poverty may bo relieved to learn that Mr. Roach died a rich man , leaving a largo estate and a family well provided for. The present administration has killed off many demo crats , but it did not kill off John Roach. PUOMINENT I'EUSOXS. AlfonsoDnmlct has been made an officer of the Legion of Honor.

To the Editor of llio UKKS In an editorial which 1 find In you excellent journal of this date there appears a mniiiliesl error , which 1 think you will bo glad lo coriccl upon advisement of the facts. You say : "Tho Indications are that bad counsels are prevailing with the menibeis of the demo cratic senate In Indiana , and that while they make , as they manifest n disposition 't ' ) do , a great deal of trouble , they will ultimately bo forced to recede from their position nnd ac cede lo llio icqiilrcmciits of the law. The nttitudo ol the majority In the senate In re fusing to concede the election of Robertson as lieutenant goveinor Is obviously unten able , and thulr whole course thus far has been unwarrantable and so nearly revolu tlonarj that it will be condemned by judi cious , candid and law-respecting democrats evci.vwhere. Thriowas nothing In the cli- einiistaiices that could Justify them In resort ing to the obstructive tactics they have uunt foolishly adopted.

" Allow mo lo say dial you nrc altogether in error as to facts , A candid journal , as the Bri : is known to bo , calls for an ex planation from a lifetime cili/.en of Indi ana. Tlio constitution of Indiana pio- vides that a governor and lieutenant gov ernor shall bo chosen in 1852 and oveiy four years thereafter. Under the consti tution the olcclions would and did occur in 1850 , Ibtit ) , 1804 , 180S , 1872 , 1870 , mi , 1881 and at no other lime. Consequent quent ] ] an election in 1880 to fill an al leged vacancy in llie office of lieutenant governor was clearly illegal and void. It Is true that General Manson resigned the ollico of lieutenant governor last sum mer for the purpose of accepting a presi dential appointment , but that resigna tion did not create a vacancy which the people were called upon to fill at an extraordinary election. Hence the alleged election of Robert S. Robertson lasl November was wholly void. Al the legislative bession. following the elate election ot 18 ( > ( i , hold in Indiana , Oliver P. Morton , then governor , was chosen to the United States honato. Conrad Baker , then licutcirmt governor , became the governor of llio slate under Iho constitu tion , upon the resignation of Governor Moi ton. At tlio election in October,187 ( ! , the elections of Indiana tlion being held annually , there was no lieutenant gover nor chosen to succeed Governor Baker. On the contrary the president pro tern- pore of the .senate presided in that body w itliout a question of right as to his jiri- vilego. The case is similar to-day , lion , Green Smith is president pro tempore ot the senate and lieutenant governor Jde facto of ( he state under ( he constitution , and hence the election of Mr. Hobuitson last fall was unwarranted. In ease the alleged election of Mr. RobeiNon teaches the courts it will be lound that there was no vacancy lor him to till. Respectfully. A. \Vnirn.Ksnv. \ . Mr. Hill-Ice's Statement. Mr. Dave D. Burke , who has the con tract for making horse collars in the es tablishment of Marks & Co. , claims that the statements made by certain collar makers to the reporter for the BKK are not only exaggerated , but false in every particular. Ho says that the parlies who made charges airninsL him and his busi ness arc iriesponsiblo workmen whom ho has befiicnded on several occasions , not only by giving them work bul by loaning Ihcm tools. Mr. Burke expresses his willingness to wager $100 that the wages hepaj'shis men compare favorably with these paid in llio besl wholesale shops in the country , and are hiirhor than many. As all his work is done by the dcuon ho says a man who absents himself from Ins bench two or three days in the week through drunkenness or any ether cause cannot expect to make as much as a sleady workman. In regard lo the statement that his brother was a "pluggor , " Mr. Btirko says ho is not familiar with the said term and that "his equal as a mechanic i.s not to be found in the state , and as an honest man ho trios to support his family and live re- fipcclnhly as a citi/.en and a gentleman. " All the RtalemcnlH made regarding Mr. Burke are emphatically pronounced by him to bo contemptible falsehoods , made by men "who have neither the love or the tear of God in their hearts , " and ho desires any one who wishes to know the manner in which he conducts his busi ness , and the falsity of llio charges ho claims were made by discharged and dis gruntled employes , to call al No , 1107 Hartley slrcct , where ho can bo found on nny working dav from 7 n. m. lo ( i p. m. , or during nny other time at his residence , No. 823 North Fourteenth street.
