TJio presltlont 1ms rtc ignntcd Mnjor General John M. Schbllold , commnnd- tip the military division of the Atlan tic , to ttiUo command of the army. Scholiold is the ranking mt\or | gonpral , nnd his promotion IB in accordance with uniform and honored military practice , , lmugh wo bollovo It was within the liscrotlon of tlio president to have dos- fjuutod cither of the three major ROII- orals to command the army. It amounts n fact , to simply a detail , it being un derstood that General Schofiold will continue to commnnd the division ol tlio Atlantic. Ultimately , however , he will undoubtedly bo regularly up lolntod ns commander ol .ho army , both as a matter of justice mil In order to maintain the militan Bystem that has BO long prevailed Ihoro nro obvious reasons why the resident may not desire to bo troublct it present with ordering the chaiiRei that would bo rendered necessary bj wholly withdrawing General Schofloli 'rom his division command. General Scholiold was contomporarj with Sheridan at West Point ind ho is registered as having entered tored the army in 1853. After t ; ow years of service , however , durlnf which ho reached the rank of first lieu tenant of artillery , ho resigned to accept copt a professorship in the University of Missouri ana was occupving this po sition when the rebellion broke out Within a month after President Lin coin's call for troops Schoficld wni major of the Fir > t Missouri volunteer ; and before the close of the yotn had become a brigadier general of voi untcers. A year later ho was made ! major general of volunteers. Ho wni mustered out of the volunteer service in 1800 , and in 1SG9 was commisslonei major general of the United State : army. The military record of General Scho field , if less brilliant than that of semi other distinguishedboldiorsof the uniot highly meritorious. II < army , was yet was "an eminently safe , trustworthy tint judicious officer. The most conspicuoit ; examples of his ability and gallantr ; were given in the battle t\t Franklin Tonn. , whore , with a much inforio : force numerically , ho hold his grount againatnearly the whole of Hood's army and in the capture of Wilmington , N. C In the Atlanta campaign , however and in other service , General Scho field was always equal to every domam upon him , and won his way to univorsa regard as ono of the most efllcicnt am valuable olllcors in the army. AL the close of the war General Scho field ivas in command of thodopartmon of North Carolina , nnd shortly thereat ter was dispatched to Franco to neeo tiato with Napoleon for the withdrawn of French troops Irom Mexico. Return ing from this mission ho was sent t < Virginia to administer atTnirs then during the reconstruction portal , n dut ; which ho performed most satisfactorily lie was made secretary of war by An drew Johnson nftnr the imricachmon trial in 1808 , and on leaving thocnblno the next year was made commander o the division of the Missouri. Later ho Sva transferred to the division of the Pnci fie , nnd on the death of General Ilali cock in 1880 became commander of thi division of the Atlantic. From 1870 t 1881 ho was superintendent of the mill tary academy at West Point. It will thus bo soon that Genera Soholiold has had u. varied and valuabl oxptirionco , Which with his scholarl , acquirements amply qualify him to fil acceptably the highest military positloi in the nation. A Satisfied Emperor. Emnoror Wi\iiam \ has returned to th capital of his empire in n happy state 'e mind. So fur as outward appearance go it was evident on his arrival that hi mind \viw the sent of perfect contentment mont nnd wholly agreeable impressions Ho greeted Bismarck wilh. Iho cordial ity of an equal , even permitting him eeli , according 'to the dispatch , to b photographed with iho chancellor , a imperial concession of no small signifl canco to the man who received it. ] denoled the highest satisfaction wltl and confidence in the servant. In othe respects the manner and coriduct of th young kaiser showed thnt ho felt al was well with him anfl his ompiro. William II certainly had a good tim during his absence from Germany , an besides the pleasures of thoVoyal entoi tainmonts accorded him ho undoubtedl found great gratification in the 'know ! edge that the interest nnd nnxldly of til Europe was concentrated upon hin : For two weeks his was the largest figur in the minds of European statcsmo among the monarchs of the world. Thi for n young man just ascended to im porlal power could not fail to give hii most pleasurable feelings. Anolhc source of cheerfulness may have boo the fact that ho was to greet an hoi born while ho was away. "What is to bo inferred from this ox hlbltlon of happlnobs and contontmon1 so muuh in contrast vrlln the gonorr demeanor of the kalsorV The moro fac of getting safely back to his capital nn finding the pebplo unwavering in thoi loyalty does not explain it. As a rul ( ordinary people are glad to bo horn nftor n trip , however enjoyable it mu have been , but an emperor is not E easily elated , nnd least of all , ono who1- habit has been not to boom to greatl enjoy anything. The conelusio must therefore bo that the kaisc was cordial to Bismarck nn merry before hia people because th objects ot his visit to the czar , whntcvc they were , were fully attained Whether disarmament was the polic ho wont to so euro , the peaceful settlement mont of the Bulgarian question , th removal of causes of ill-feeling botwooi Russia nnd Germany , the isolation c Franco , or all of these , it is to be ir forrcd that his mission was tv succos nnd that the greater security ihereb gained for Germany , BO tar as Us roll tions with Russia are concerned , wi the real reason ot the emperor's lui ] plness when ho returned to Berlin. There seems every reason to boliov that the monarchies ot Europe are i no immediate danger of comin to blows , It Is tolerably clear that the hnve a good understanding that cause of difference are to bo settled withcAj B appeal to the sword. But how is with Franco ? Is that republic to be compelled to ncqulosca In whatever x > Hcy the emperors andklnga shall do- crinltio upon for the government of 3uropo ? It Is moro than probable. II the other nations have agreed upon r policy of peace disarmament is undoubt edly ono of the conditions , nnd Franco will bo asked to acquiesce. If she re fuses , ns she undoubtedly will , nn effort will bo made to force her to do so , jormany inaugurating the effort. It is very likely William would volcomo n conflict wltli Franco , with all the other nations giv ing him moral support , and these in alliance with Germany ready to give material assistance if ho should need it. Doubtless the Gorman emperor has ex cellent reason to fool satisfied with the situation , but his happiness may bo sig nificant of no good to Franco , toward which ho haq an implacable hatred , Ijoth Instinctive and because of her re publican institutions. An Kxplred Hunk. The rank of general of the army ox pircd with the donth of General Sherl dan. It will bo remembered thnt itwa1 conferred upon him only about a montl ago , when it was believed his life was measured by hews , or oven minutes The bill was rapidly hurried througl congress , encountering the oppositiot of onlj' two or three members of botl houses , and on presentation tot o presi dent was promptly approved by him It was the ono great ambition of thi distinguished soldier to bothushonorci by his country , nnd when his commis sion us general was placed in his hands although ho seemed on the verge o dissolution , the olToct upon bin wiw that of an invigorating stimulant and from that hour there was npparoni improvement in his condition \\hicl gave premise of ultimate restoration The great and generous-hearted boldiei know how to appreciate such nn evi dence of the nlToctlon and gratitude o his countrymen. Until the time of General Grant th < highest military rank in this country was that of lieutenant general , llrs conferred on Washington , who hold i fiom July 8,1798 , to his death Decembei 14 , 1709. General Winfiold Scott win made brevet lieutenant general , and ii 1804 the full rank of lieutenant conora was conferred on Grant , the rank o general being given him two yean later. Similar honors wore conform on General Sherman. It is not im probable that in time General Scholioli will bo made a lieutenant general , bu it is not likely that the rank of genera will bo revived until another war bhal furnish n justification for conferring thi special distinction , the very highes military rank which the republic cat bcbtow. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tin ; producers and merchants of thi northwest are not manifesting tinysym pathy with the efforts of Senator Oul lorn to interpose the authority of thi government to prevent them having ai independent outlet to the east at choa ] rates , by the favor of the Canadian mil roads. A few days ago a meeting o business men of St. Paul nnd Minnenp olis was hold to protest against the pro posed investigation by the intor-siati commerce commission of what is knowi as the See road , for the purpose of do torminlng whether the rates made b ; this road could not bo brought undo the control of the commission. It wn urged thnt nothing moro serious coult happen to the producers o the northwest than to havi this outlet interfered with. As evidence denco of the strong fooling on this sub ject , the Pioneer-Press warns the rnor chants nnd producers ol the Northwos to bo oh the alert against the threat o Chicago and the American trunk line to deprive that section of its advan tages , nnd says : "The threat must b met ut the outset by such vigorous am determined action Us will tear aside th pretense that American railroads neei protection from Canadian competitors nnd show the true character and th real motives of the promoters of a plni for -national protection and a nn tional monopoly in the interest c Chicago. This is n subject whic ] should bo acted upon , without dolaj by the joint committee chat-god witl consideration of matters affecting botl St. Paul and Minnearjolis. Wo 'mus make this issue so clear and strong thn the 'investigation' ordered shall b the last over hoard of the preposterou notion that the people of this countr can be made lo pay legal .tribute to an selected nnd favored city. " There i manifested in this a spirit of warf ; r tha't is likely to render this matter on of general and conspicuous public intoi ost. ON THE success of the Indian missioners at Standing Rock"ngoncy depends ponds Whoth'or the Indians nt the otbo agencies will sign the bill for the open ing of the Sioux reservation. At Pin Ridge nnd Rose Bud agencies , whor Red Cloud finfi other chiefs are th leading spirits , Iho Indians are on th fence waiting to see what Sitting Bu ! and his followoVs will do. The commit sionors nro therefore in n critical posi tlon. If unsuccessful in winning th Standlng Kock Indians they may ti well pack their grips for Washington for they could never induce the Siou at the other agencies to sign the bill The case , howovbr , is not yet 'ho"poles : In spite of Sitting Bull's apparent un > lety not to treat with thn comml&sioi the old follow is holding off for bottc terms and more subsidies. The wil chief is moreover aided byvtho squaw men who are responsible for nine-tenth of the opposition to the opening of th reservation. If the commission is poi sistont , there can bo littlb doubt bi that a majority of the Indiana will I won over. . THE naming of delegations by cand dates is a practice moro commctmblo I the breach than in the performance. J is decidedly unropublican and envoi altogether too much of the monarchic nnd dictatorial forms. It belittles th delegates in making them moro dun mica that are tugged to bo traded awa nt the pleasure of ono man. In a ro | rosontativo form of government , th men chosen to net out th'o wish of conslltuoijcy nro expected ( o rcspec the sentiment and known wishi of the Domifmttng conventions. But when a convention delivers itself and its delegates to ono man nnd gives him tlio privilege Uj play political dictator , it is n confession on its face thnt the convention has been packed by mere tools nnd henchmen , who are political serfs instead ol free ngents.

Lincoln NCWM of Interest. LINCOLN BUIHHO OK TUB OMUIA DrE , ) IttJU P STIIURT , } LINCOLN. August 0. ) Attorney General Lecso to dny addressed his letter in reply to the questions suggested by Erlo Johnson , editor of the Soml-Wcoklj Progtcss , published nt Holihogo. The mi- swer Isery explicit nnd Is wet thy careful rending nnd study. It Is as follows : LINCOLN. Neb. , Aug. 0 , 1SS3. Mr. Erlo Johnson , Holdrodge , Nob. My Dear Sir : 1 our letter of the ' 'nd inst. Is ut hand , and In answer thereto I will say that your con clusions nro correct. If the rates had been reduced one-third In November last , why do the railroads keep the fact paraded boforu the public ? Would the people not know H the rates had been reduced ? They are the ones that must pay the rates , nnd If there Is n farmer In the state that lias saved his one-third of the lutes prior to last No vember ho has not boon discovered thus far. The rates were put on u utilfotm basis ns to distance , mid did reduce the amount charged in some respects , but not to exceed one-thirtieth p.ut of the Gainings of the roads. The railroad companies uro trying to deceive the people when they toll them of a one-third reduction. Ninety per cent of all the cainings of the roads In Nebraska is what nro known ns inter-state lateb , mid these rales were not touched by the bouul. Ten per tent of the earnings of the roads are local rates , and it Is this 10 per cent p.iit of their earnings that the board controls. So if the whole amount of the business done on the local schedules was dona fieo it would only nlTect the net earnings 10 per cent , which would still have the not earnings of Iho Union Pacific { -0,000 per mile and the Chicago , Bur lington & ( Juincy over $11,000 per mlle net , as the former earned $10,000por milo nut and the luttor $12,23.1 , per mlle in 18S7. The roads claim that the icductlon on thn out and in rate makes the one-third , but the out and In rate was only partly restoicdto what It was on April 1 , 18 > 7. Tlio rates be tween Lincoln mm Chicago nro shown below , also the increase of rates miulc by thu com panies ou April 5 , 1887 , without any cuuso for eloing so , and then the restoration of upait of the amount that had been increased , nnd to-day the rates out and in m our state ntu much higher than they were on April 1 , 1837. Himr.coal per ton April 1,1887 , W.10 ; raised April fi , 1887 , to $4.50 ; present and November rateS3 BO. Corn and oats per 100 weight , rates April I , lbS7 , 18 cents ; raised April 5 , 18S7 , to 24 cents : present and November rate , 23 cents. Lumber , per 100 weight , rate April 1 , 1887,10 cents ; raised April C , 1887 , to 20 cents ; present nnd November rate , 20 cents. Fifth class , Including sugar , coffee and canned goods , rate April 1 , 1887 , 23 cents , raised April 5,18t > 7 , to ! iO cents ; present and November rate , 28 cents. The above sums tire the actual cash paid nt the various times Mated. So you can see that there never has been n reduction , but u icstoiationof only a part of what belonged to the people. The rates in the state were made uniform ns to thu distance on all the roads , and It consequently made a reduction of about 15 per cent of the local rotes i. o. , of the 10 per cent of the gross earnings f i om bus ! ness arising and terminating in the stuto. The main lines of the loads cleared almost enough hist year to pay for their whole line , and this , in my opinion , is too much. In 1880 the net earnings of tlio B. & M. were * 11,000 , 23 per milo , nnd last year over $18,000 , per milo. The auditor's icport will show these figures to be correct. And when the agents of the rail- loads tell you that wo as a board , or that they voluntarily reduced the rates one-third , it is n campaign lie , unless they toll you that J-hoy - raised them GO per cent nnd then lowered them in part , but the lljrures given yon will speak for themselves. I have not got the old tariff rates at hand , but on fourth class In this state we pay double what Iowa pays on her lust year's rate , and Iowa says she paid too much and reduced 25 and 40 per cent on their old rato. This is what they are fight ing in that state to-day. You can rely upon the above statement as correct. The com parison with Iowa rates is based on 100 miles. Yours very truly , WILLIAM LKISSE , Attorney General. tn. OWIKB'S COMPLAINT. \Villlam A.
