" In a subsequent nterviow with a , newspaper roprcscnt- itivo , Mr. Webb said : t"H neees- ary I will stop every particle of freight ralllc , close up every yard , ami keep beta closed until f have obtained a sulll- lient number of new dromon to resume ho freight trafllc. My road will expend wo million dollars to win , and in my ac- ion T mil bui'Kcdby the stockholders. " Such is the arrogant and defiant attl- ndo ol a corporation the impairment of vhose ability to perform its uuty to lie public has already sub- ecled a hofct of shippers to great Ipss for which it will bo impossible or them to obtain adequate redress , and vliich by its rejection of nil overtures or a f-cttlomcnt Invites an extension of ho conflict that might result in paralysi ng the transportation business of the country from tlie Atlantic to the Pacific. L'lio protcn o ot Vice President Webb hat in refusing to arbitrate ho is in any logroo prompted by : i sense of the duty vliich the Now York Central owes to ilio public is simply ridiculous. The iltit mlo of this corporation btrongly cm- hasizes the demand for legislation that vlll compel both common carriers and employes to avoid conflicts which imperil the public interests. Ifthe latest advices from Co.ntral America prove to bo authentic , Guate- mil a , lias sulTored a most humiliating dent - > nt and the triumph ot Salvador is com plete. The signal success of General K/cta , the provisional president of Salvador vader , as indicated in the dispatches , uill ileserve.dly give him a , very strong hold upon the esteem and confidence of the people , and if liis patriotism is equal to tlio ability and energy ho has dis played , - ho may not only remain at the head of affairs - fairs in Salvador , but exert i commanding inlluonco in shaping : the future course and policy of the Central American states. IIo has certainly demonstrated the fact that hois a mili tary leader of no ineun order , but It re mains to be soon whether ho is equally capable in statesmanship. His oppor tunity is a great one if ho will rightly improve it , but the danger is that flnd- Ing himself strong in the popular confi dence ho will be betrayed by his ambi tion or the inlluonco of ambitious friends into a course that will compromise his prestige and raise up against him powerful enemies whoso hos tility and rivalry may in time bring about a similar state of affairs to that which the energy of Ezota and tlio prowess of the Salvadoreans have just put an end to.- As to Guatemala , her condition seems to invite only pity and commiseration , and so far as her people nro concerned this will bo tlio general feeling. Tlio evidence is that tlio popular sentiment of the country did not approve the ui'ao of tlio government in plung ing into war , and consequently the government in its dire exigency found only such support of its military opera tions as it was sible to compel. Men did not rally to the ranks of tlio army with patriotic ardor as did the Salvadorians , and those who by deception or force wore dragged into service necessarily made very Incflleiont soldiers. Mar shalled against the earnest and enthusi astic forces of Salvador fighting for principles vital to the preservation of their country , the Guatemalans were easy victims. But had the people ap proved the war policy it is evident that tlio govormncut was wholly unproparcd. The treasury was empty and tlio efforts of the government to secure a loan after hostilities commenced were una vailing. Tlio latest dispatches represent , the situation as deplorable. It would seem that President Ltarillns must ex perience a great deal of dlflleulty in maintaining his hold upon power after , so disastrous : ! failure , demonstratingas it does , his utter lack of capacity , Itogardlng the prospects for Central American union they are not improved by the success of Salvador. It Is said that that state , Costa'Rica ' anil Nicaragua may unite on a basis set forth in the congress of the representatives of the live republics , but this is probably a mit-lako so far as Costa , IMca is concerned , the congress of that coun try having decided to defer until Sep tember of next year the Until considera tion of the pact that was signed at San Salvador last year. But in any event these three states will not enter n union witli Guatemala and Honduras , and all idea of a united Central America may as well bo difiinihsed for the present. SHALL TIIKIIK UK ItlST.th A policy of retaliation on the part o : the United States toward Franco tlio people of both countries would probably soon learn to regret , yet it may become necessary unless Franco adopts a more friendly commercial course towards this country than who has pursued forsovora years. The publication of the diplo miitie correspondence relative to the prohibitory duureo of Franco agaitib the importation of American pork ha. renewed the fooling in congres that this government will bo justified in adopting retaliatory niu.isurofl if tlio French government ad bores to its policy , and it is said that i largo miinbor of KtumtoM regard the op portunity olTovod by the pending ttvrit bill as an excellent ono for giving prac tieal effect to tlio feeling of rcsonuuon which the commercial Hostility dis played by Franco against a staple pro duet ot tlio United States has aroused In this country. Just what shape this feel ing will assume Is largely a matter o conjecture , though It is generally undoi stood that French wines and silks ar likely to be subjected to heavie duties thatr are already imposed , am other articles of French production wil doubtless suffer in llko manner. Th restoration by the senate committee 01 Jlnanco of the duty on workb of art vliich had been placed by the house on ho free list , IH explained to have been no to the imp rets ion that llio French 'ovcrntnont had , in return , shown no imposition to suspend its unjust dl. < crliul- titlon against American pork. Of ourso this would not bo an adequate cfeiiso of retaining the duty on works f art , because Franco would not 10 the only European country affected , hough she would perhaps profit moro linn any other from a remlssioirof the inly , ami for the further reason Hint a Inly on works of art is Inimical to the educational welfare of our own people , nit tlio proposal to retain this duty In- .icatcs how strong the feeling Is that under existing circumstances this coun- r.v should make no concessions which night benefit Franco , even though In efitsing them vo should ourselves have 0 make some sacrifice. It is possible to crltieiso this s a narrow view ot national 1 uly and policy , but it is i very natural one , especially so in view f the unquestionable fact , as pointed jut by the acting secretary of state , that ho French government now practically ) laces its exclusion of American pork nwluets upon economic Instead of bani- tiry grounds. As this policy ot oxclu- ilon , bays the acting secretary in his ettor accompanying the correspondence eat to congress , as u measure for the M'olocllon of the domestic products of franco , is applied only to the United Slates , the department has not failed to protest against the discrimination as.un- list. Minister Reid , in his loiter to the French minister of foreign affairs on this subject , suggests that feeling in this iountry is caused not merely by the in- ury to nn American industry , but be cause France persistently discriminates igninst her historic friend and in favor of Germany , Italy and England. The American minister easily disposes of the pretext that the pork of this country is unwholesome by point ing to the fact Unit no disease is caused by eating it here or in the countries of Europe where it is largely imported. Tlio French government has no de fense of its policy in this matter except upon economic grounds , nnd it cannot rest upon these grounds and continue to discriminate against this country in favor of European countries. As the use now stands it looks as if that gov ernment must choose between abandon ing its position in this inatter and ac cepting the consequences of a retaliatory policy that would materially cripple the commerce of Franco with the United States. O.MAIIA , Nebraska nnd the west feel a pardonable pride in the successful ad ministration of the affairs of the general land ollico by Judge GrolY. Ills manage ment Is without a precedent in the his tory of the ofllco. On assuming the du ties of the position less than a year ago , bo found tlie office crowded with nearly three hundred thousand cases awaiting examination and decision. Familiar with the administration of land laws in the west and possessing n trained judi cial mind , Judge Grolf soon brought order out of chaos , established system and reduced the affairs of the ofllco to a business basis. In lesslhan a year lie has diminished tlio legacy of former admin istrations one-half , besides keeping up with new business since his installation. The energy displayed in disposing of long pending cases has boon a great boiioQt to settlers on public land. But of greater importance to them is the fact that Judge GroiTluis annihilated the once profitable industry of claim jump ing. At llio very outset ho put his foot down on this class of land sharks and proclaimed the policy of the olllco to be , "justice to honest sel lers , " giving them the benefit of the doubt as against claim jumpers. This policy ho has maintained vigorously , restoring confidence among the homebuilders builders of the west , and insuring un disturbed possession of their homesteads to IhosO Hcatlers honestly striving to comply with the law. K is nothing to arbitrate , " says Vice President Webb in reply to Pow- derly's letter urging arbitration as a means of seltlinir the Now York Central strike. There is a familiar sound in this. The corporations have wrung the changes on it for years. It is intended for the ours of that class of potty poten tates who believe that worldnginen have no rights which combined capital is liound to respect. But Vice President Webb's actions llatly contradict his as sertion , The fact that hoofuscd n hear ing to the representatives of his em ployes at tho" outset and spurned their complaints clearly proves that ho invited the -contest , llaving provoked the strike , ho declines to adopt an effective- means of bringing it to an end , Tf the company is right , why does it fear to submit to the decision of a disinterested board ? The refusal must be accepted by the public as evidence of the justice of tlio employes' cause , and on tlio managers of the'road 1 must rest the odium of inconveniencing the public , delaying commerce , and the shedding of innocent blood. WHY should the heart of the con tractor bo eadV The moro fact that the council combine is enjoying a wol earned recreation at the expense of the corporations should not shako the confi dence of the homo guard.

To the Editor of Tnc 13m : : Tha constitution of the United States says that the presidential electors shall meet in their respoftlvp states , etc. Now who has clmrKOof thcml How do they orinmlzo and who takes clmifro of the vote when rendered ! Tnis question e\ino ; up in tlio teachers' ' nor mal institute , ami by imswerhiK it Tin : Hiu : will confer a favor upon OM : or TIIIM. : The constitution pnn'iiles that each state shall appoint , in such manner as the legisla tures thereof may direct , n number of elec tors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state maybe bo entitled in congress. Whllo congress may determine the time of choosing the electors nnd they day on which they shall give their votes , the presidential electors are state ofll- cer < * receiving compensation by the state and ore controlled by it. The power of the legisla ture to direct the manner of selecting electors 1ms been the cause of considerable trouble. During the first half century of the republic those bodies usually clioso the electors them selves but about 1SJ3 their , selection was gen erally given to the people. The revised statutes of Nebraska provide for the election of presidential electors from the state at large , for their meeting at the capitol , and for their compensation at the rate of live dollars a day. M'hoy assemble at the required time at Lincoln , organize among themselves , and cast sop.irato votes for pres ident nnd vice president.

Until 1SST congress refused to provide for proof of the state's ac tion , a Inclc of which hail caused the contest in 1STO.
