Viceroy L1 Hunff Chans never had much Use for decorations any way. The guessing In New York state will now l o cnnfined to the democratic factions. Clmuncey Dcpow's prognostication as to the Xew York governorship proved to be right tlila time.

The resignation of Senator Drlce of Ohio Will be forthcoming about the same tlmo as tlmt of Senator Jones of Nevada.

Too many charter committees are liable lo spoil the broth. The first thing for the various committees to do Is to eradicate their differences and get together. That alleged order of the administration forbidding federal ofllclals from taking nc- tlvo part In political work has been In definitely suspended for the district of Ne braska. In Douglas county , as well as In other portions at the state , the starch Is being flogged out of the hickory shirt. On the Gth nf November the garment will be nothing but chreds.

In nominating ex-Vice President Morton or governor of Xew York the republicans elected leader whose r conl as a puWlr man Is unasrnllable. Though not superior , perhaps , lo the other candidates whose names were iiresontnl to the convention tn pcr- onnl xvorlh and ability , Mr. Morton la un- loubtedly a more available candidate than nny of them would have hern , becauia no action can justly claim to control him. The opposition uill of course charge that he Is he candidate ot the machine nirl that his nomination was dictated by Mr. 1'lalt , but his ulll not rtand candid Investigation. Mr. Morton Is mijicrlor to the m.ichtiie and to any one mnn'fl rontrol. Ito did not Reek the lamination , but , on the contrary , only prom- ted to accept It after having n&certalned by careful ntnl deliberate Inquiry that the gen eral sentiment of the r.'pu'Mic.ins t-t N'ew t'orl ; wit favorable lo him. He was In 3uropp when his name was suggested and to declined to say whether or not he would accept a nomination until he could consult with the party leaders oh his return to this country. Only whan be found that hen * wan a cordial nnd almost unanimous Icslre among republicans that he should ac cept the leadership of the party In the Em- ilre state tlld he consent to do to , and the aiinoiincumcnt of his decision \\a.s generally welcomed by the party. It would possibly be moro fortunate If the name of Mr. Platt were wholly disassociated with this nomina tion , because there Is n natural dtsposl.tlon to regard ulth suspicion and distrust what ever that politician has anything to do with , but jhcro Is little reason why any New York republican should apprehend that In the event of the election of J.tr , Morton the Influence of I'latt would be potential In the admlnl.strallon. The distinguished gentle man who has been vice president of the United States can be depended upon to dis charge the duties of governor of New York , should he be elected to that position , ac cording to his best judgment and ability , unlnlluenced by any man or nny faction. The large majority by which Mr , Morton was lomlnated , having more ( Iin 3.U voles c\er all other -candidates , attests tlmt he was overwhelmingly the choice ot the republi cans of the state and nut a nitre machine candidate , ns the opposition will endeavor to show. The platform of Mie New York republicans Is a rliiRlng arraignment of the shorlcom- ngs and the false pretends ot the demo cratic party. It declares for an honest bal lot and against any effort , "whether by the removal of the tax on state ) ank USUT.T i.r the Tree coinage of silver , to lower our currency standard , " favoring an International agree ment which shall result In the use of both gold and silver ns a circulating medium. There Is no ambiguity In the terms with which the republicans of the Empire state denounce the policy of the democratic congress and administration , and It Is a platform which there Is every reason to believe will at tract thousands of voters , to the republicans from the opposition. The convention was one of the largest ever held , and while there was some con test among the followers of the several as pirants for nomination the action of the convention was unanimously approved , and there was complete harmony and good will when the work was ended. There 'appears to be every reason to expect that the- opening of the campaign will witness the settle ment of all factional differences nnd the re publicans of New York united In a deter mined purpose to win a victory that will not , only place that state under republican control but exert a powerful Influence fa vorable to the party generally la the future. irni'AUKOO.tTK THE VOXTli For tha Information of members of the council as well as parties who arc disposed to favor the proposition to abrogate the con tract betwrcn Omaha and the Union Pacific , we herewith reproduce th'e exact language of the original contract : Agreement matte this 1st day of Janu ary , in the year of our Lord , one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two , by and be tween the Union Pacific Itallroad company , authorized by law of congress to b < illd a bridge across the- Missouri river at or near Council Bluffs , Iowa , nnd Omaha , Nebraska , and Its successors party of the first part , and the City of Omaha and the county of Doug las In tliu state of Nebraska , parties of the second part , wltnessEth , That whereas the parties hereunto desire to arrange for the more perfect connection of any railroads that are or shall bo con structed to the > Missouri river at or near Council Bluffs , Iowa , nnd Omaha , Nebraska : Now In consideration of tha premises and the receipts by the parties of the first part of the bonds of said Douglas county to the amount of t o hundred and fifty thousand dollars and In further consideration ot the receipt by the jiarty of the first part of a deed from the sahl City of Omaha to certain real es tate In said city , known as the depot grounds and right-of-way , the party ot the first part , tor Itself and Its successors , covenants , and agrees to and with the said county ot Doug las and City of Omaha , as follows , towlt : First. That It will construct , complete and maintain a rallrjad bridge over the Missouri river at the said City of O'.nahu. Second. That the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific railroad shall be and remain at the said City of Omaha. Third. That after Its Missouri river bridge at the City ot Omaha Is completed and ready for use , the said Union Pacific llallroail com pany will make up all of Its regular west bound passenger and freight trains on the ground which the people and City of Omaha. propose "s above to deed to said Union Pacific Railroad com pany and Is already mapped and platted. That is to say , all passengers and freights coming from the1 east on all lines of road seeking a connection with said Union Pacific Railroad at the eastern terminus shall be delivered and transferred to the Union Pacific upon said depot grounds" where the Union Pacific trains shall be made up for thaves > t , and that said party of th.e first part will , after such bridge completion , transfer upon said grounds to the various railroads that do or may begin or end In Council Dlutfs or Omaha all Us passengers , baggage , ex press matter , malls and freight , north , easter or sgiith bound. Fourth. That said Union Pacific Railroad company -will , within one year from the date hereof , expend in the Improvements In tlio building of passenger and freight depots , general passenger and freight ufllces , land and transfer and telegraph offices upon Bald grounds a sum that will not be less than one hundred thousand dollars , and tn maintain thcso buildings and ofllces thereon. Fifth. All machine , car shops and other manufactories required for the use of said company at Us eastern terminus , all perms- nent odices of the company required for tin transaction of Its business. Including tin land department , general superintendent' ! offices , general passenger and freight otllces. warehouses far the companies , etc. , shall bi created and maintained at Omaha. Sixth. That under proper rules for their regulation , to be provided by said party of the first part , the trains , cars and engines of ail railroad * now or hereafter running Into or out of Omaha and Council IIIufTs shall havt unobstructed access and transit to and ovto- Bald bridge and Its approaches , and suck roads shell havj the right to take or cause t bo taken their trains , cars and engines wttk their freight and passengers over and across said bridge and Us approaches , at reasonable compensation without discrimination , hin drance , preference or delay , provldd , how ever , that tha Union Pacific Railroad com pany shall In all cases have the option ol substituting Us own engines for those ol such other roads In the operation ot Its ialO bridge , receiving na&onable compensation therefor. The object of this clauio being to make virtual and operating conn ctlon upon told tntoiftr ground * between , all the rallroaOc des.ring such connection which do or may bsgln or end or piss through Omaha or Coun cil lllufti and th > lmU)3 nnd business ot said roads In ultiipss whereof Hi ? said party of the flMt p.irfh.ia caused tli"S presents" tn be executed in triplicate by its vloo president , hereby binding raid Union Pacific Railroad company nnd Its niccp. < scrs to th- covenants and agreements herein contained , and the parties of the sec'.iid part by their nuthorlzcd officers lisve hereunto a t their humid in trip- licito the day and ynr drat abave written. | The ordinance submitted to the citizens of | Omaha November 28. 18S9 , at a special eleci i tlon contained the following provisions : | That any and nil ral road companies that i may desire the privilege shall luve the right ! to run PUSH tiger trains Into and from said ! union depot upon just and cqulUhle terms , to j be agreed upon between tha said Omaha Union Depot company and the railroad cam- panj- making application therefor , differences between ttum ns to just and equitable terms to bo determined by arbitration. Why should Omaha now undertake to abro gate Iho contract with the Union Pacific In the face ot the fact that Ihe company Is ) ounil to construct a union depot of adequate Tlmenslons nnd glvo accss to the depot grounds- all railroads that now or may In ho future cross Its bridge' If the Union Depot company has taken It upon Itself to assume the obligations of the Union Pacific lallroad company to construct a union depot on the grounds donated by the city of Omaha or that purpose , why should we now release t from this obligation as u condition prce- dcnt to completing the depot building begun n 1890 ? itA'tHS tx ioir.1. The railroads of Icua are again busily at work to have the schedule of maximum 'rclght rates for the transportation ot gcods between local points etthcr entirely abolished or , If that Is not possible , raised to a plane ; hat Hill leave them practically free trtn ts restraint. Iowa railroads , no more than railroads In any other state , never took kindly to the public regulation ot freight rates. Fiom the very beginning they fought : he schedule ot max mum rates prescribed for them by the state railroad commissioners , and cnly submitted to them under protest when , beaten at every point , they had no other cjurae open to them. In spite ot their attitude , however , traffic continued to In crease iteadlly from year to yccr and the antlclpted diminution of profits failed to put In an appearance. Now , because their Iowa business has shown a shrinkage in a similar degree with that In thcr states , and the hard times nnd poor crops ore threatening dividends In Iowa as well as elsewhere , the railroads think they have a plausible excuse for demanding an In crease In the legal maximum rates. Their application to the railway commission met a decided opposition from merchants and shippers all along the line , and It Is already plain that the railroads are not to have an unobstructed field In the hearing now In progress. The people of Iowa are alive to the fact that the raising ot the maximum rate schedule would but presage an attempt to throw off every vestige ot public control ; they know the real purpose of the railroads to ho to evade regulation ol every kind ; they see that the achievements of years of per sistent warfare are at stake In the present suit. One feature f this rale controversy In Iowa extends beyond the boundaries of the state. The rallronls acknowledge that , the Iowa schedule- not In Itself oppressive or unreasonable ana that they can , If they are * compelled to do bo , get along under It - without out jeopardizing their existence. The Iowa schedule , however. Is much lower than are the rates charged In the surrounding states and it furnishes the people of these states with material for odious comparisons. The states surrounding Iowa have seen how suc cessful the latter has besn In preventing the exaction of exorbitant freight rates , how this has been -done without Impeding legitimate railway building , how It has been done with out bankrupting a single Iowa road , and they have been Irresistibly tempted to try similar experiments in railway legislation. What the railroads want more than anything elke Is to be able to point to the Iowa schedule of maximum rates as a failure. They want to be abhMo siy that that schedule has been admitted by the Iowa commission to have been unreasonable. They wont to turn their experience In Iowa to account In the adjoin ing states , The rate controversy now pending between the Iowa railroads and the Iowa shippers Is , therefore , of more than mere local Im portance , The Inhabitants of every west ern state that has suffered from high railway tariffs are Interested In Its outcome. . The success of the rallroada will make them everywhere moro than tvor defiant , The success of the fchlppern will encourage the people elsewhere to-r slst the encroachments of the rsllroads. A rilKK TltADK CUA I'KAT/OX The Ohio democratic convention was dls- tlnctly a free trade convention. The tempo rary chairman , ex-Congressman Ilurcl. Iras long been known ns an uncompromising free trader , and he did net fall to Improve this opportunity to give expression to his views In favor ofwiping out the protective policy. Referring to the new tariff lawhe said that the different schedules would require further adjustment In the Interest of free trade , "The Chlcags platform , " said Mr. Hurd , "declared that protection was unconstitutional and rob bery. If that declaration was true the mis sion of the democratic party could not he ended while a protective statute remained , " The platform is no less unambiguous In fa voring free trade. Having declared protec tion , to be a fraud it demands such further reduction cf duties as can ba made , "to the end that purely protrctlvc duties be abolished ished , . " One of tha conspicuous figures In tha convention wa Representative Tom L. Johnscn of the Twenty-first district , a pro nounced advocate of free trade and the sin gle tax theory , who was associated with Hurd as a member of the committee on plat form. Not onrr-wss it a fres trade conven tion but It was nig * for ( re : silver , being In this resp-ct consistent. It wit the Intention ot the free trade ele ment In the convention to ceniuro Senator Drico far the cau-s hi hid taken regarllng tlif tariff bill , and it required vigorous effort on Iho p.irt of "ilii * friends ot the senator f > prevent this being done.

Their limupifte averted a vote ot censure - sure , but thprc ajjSn Indirect rebuke con tained In the adoption by a large majirltj' of n resolution In favor ol electing United States senators by the direct vote ot the people. . , The Ohio democrats do not , of course , ex pect t-o el set any of their candidates f r stale olllces this year. The overwhelming defeat they experienced tn the last election will un doubtedly be repeated next November , and H will bo Intensified this j-car by the loss ol a number of congressional districts. Hut the party seems deUrhtlned to adhere to the free trade and tree silver principles which It has heretofore declared , and It lius now pr claimed them even more vigorously than In tlio past. This Is not a good year for the enunciation of such doctrines , BH the demo crats nf Ohio will find when the votes ure counted In Noveniben "VVe do n.t see how Kdltor llryan cm hope to ralso the tour ot hit paper EU long as ho permits It to print garbled ami iusleidlng ; reports tf public occurrences.

The success of the New York tailors' strike Is received' generally as the death knell of the swea'tiug system In that city.

WASHINGTON' , Sept. IP. In compliance with n resolution or the senate. Introduced by Senator Pcttlgrew , the Interstate commerce commission has compiled BO mo data re < gardlng the ownership ot railroads by foreign governments. It appears that ten countries do not own Or operate railroads , viz ; t Colombia , CSrcat IJrltain and Ireland , Mexico , Para guay , Peru , Spain , Switzerland , Turkey , the United States and Uruguiy. The following governments own and operate some of the railways ; Argentine , Australasia , Aus tria-Hungary , Uelgtum , Ilrazil , Canada , Cape of Good Hope , Chill , Denmark , France , ( Jermany , Guatemala , India , Japan , Norwiy , Portugal , Russia and Sweden 18. The fol lowing governments own pirt of their rail roads , but do not operate any , leasing all their prcicnt mileage to private companies , viz : Greece , Holland and Italy 3. Though not claimed to he accurMe , It Is believed that the foregoing summary repre sents un approximately correct statement of the relation ol the various governments to the railways ot the world. The relative rates charged for freight and p.isscngor tervlco on the government-owned railroads and the other facts cited In con- ncct.cn with , such roads are calculated to afford llttlo encouragement to the advccHes of government ownership. A comparison of passenger charges per mile shows an average In Great Urltaln of 4.42 cents for first class , .3.20 cents for second class and 1.94 for third class. In Prance the average Is 3.BG cents for flrst class , 2.8G for second and 2.0 $ for third class. In Germany the rate Is 3.10 cents for first class , 2.30 second class and 1,54 cents third class. In the United- States the average chat go Is 2.12 cents. The average charges per ton per mile arc as follows : In Great Urltaln , 2.SO cents ; France , 2.20 cents ; Germany , 1.64 cents , nnd in the United Slates , 1 cent. The In terest on capital Invested In these ccnntrleb Is as follows : United Kingdom , 4.1 per cent ; France , 3.8 per cent , Germany , G.I per cent ; Russia , 5,3 per cent ; Austria , 3.1 per cent ; Hclglum , 4.G per cent ; United States , 3.1 per cent. The average for the world Is 3.2 per cent. The system ot operation of the railroads In different countries Is Indicated as fol- laws : "In Austria about per cent , of the rail way mileage la owned and about 73 per cent Is operated by the state. Upon the expira tion of charters not exceeding ninety yeirs tha lines , lands ami buildings of the com panies are turned over to the government , hut the equipment remains the property of the private owners. Ilcfore a railway Is opened It must be approved by the minister of commerce. The tariffs of state roads are fixed by the government ; those of the companies are subject to revision by the government every three years , and the gov ernment has power to reduce rates If the net earnings exceed 15 per cent on capital. "In Canada about cne-tenth of the mileage ot about 10,000 miles is owned and con trolled and operated by the government. For the year of 1S92 the operation of the government lines resulted In a loss of over ? GOO.OOO. "At the present date by far the largest portion ( five-sixths ) of the French railway system Is operated Ly private companies , each company serving a definite territory and being comparatively free from the com petition tf other lines. But the railroad properties are ultimately tt > become the prop erty of tlio government. This system Is a mixed one between Btste and private owner ship. "In Germany nearly 90 per cent of the railway mileage Is owned by the govern ment. Under the law the government Is required to manage the railways In the In terest of general traffic on a single system. It may cause the construction and equipment rf the road unit enforce uniform trafllc and police regulations. "In Great Britain end Ireland the govern ment does not own the railroads , There nre stringent regulations provided by law and administered by the railway commis sion and the Ooarcl of Trade. "Italy has tried belli state and private railways and has conic tt > the conclusion It is not advantageous to own and operate rail ways. The result was a reorganization of Ilia whole railway system. Under the pres ent system private companies operate the slate rotds under contract with the govern ment. "In Russia the gevernrr.cnt is stated to own and cperato about 40 per cent of the railway mileage. Nearly all of the rail ways owned by prlvito companies have re ceived subsidies from the government. "It U stated that In the United States several of the states have tried ownership In a limited way. Illinois constructed a road at a cost of Jl.000.0ou. but disposed of it at a ccst of $100,000 ; Indiana had a simi lar experience ; Georgia owns a railway , but found it expedient to lease It to a private company ; Pennsylvania con tructcd n rall- roiit from Philadelphia to Columbia , but subsequently sold It , Massachusetts , Michi gan and several other state * tried the ex periment without luccess. " The Intoratnlo commerce commission dis claimed any original Investigation en this Mibjcct , the report being compiled Irom existing sources of Information. NO MW THH.VtV VIJT.

So lar aa can bo ascertained the Spanish Rotcrnmont ns yet has made no formal advance toward the negotiation of n new commercial treat r with the United States , und although n movement In that direction Is expected la the near fu ture , the object Is so beset with difficulties the- outcome ot the negotiations U extremely doubtful. The reciprocity "arrangement , " as was styled the compn.Et negotiated with Spain by Secretary lllalno to dis tinguish It from former treaties , has fallen through sines the new tariff act went Into operation. It was not ntcessnry for cither government to ' 'de nounce" the other or servo notice of its de termination , for thli was done by the act Hacli government contents Itself -with a im- tlco to the revenue collectors , tn the castof the United StaloB that the new duties are imposed by the tariff , and In tha case of Spain that thp okl duties must b * exacted on Imports from the United States. Not withstanding the assertion by Spain whllo thp arrangement existed that it was unsiills- factory to her beyond question , the reversion to the old order Is still tnoro so , The Cuban sugar planters , ulrcidy in bad straits , are In n state of absolute panic nt the pros pect ot the loss of their principal market , the United Stat s , nnd arc bringing to bear such pressure on the Cortes by memorials und urgent representations of various klnils that the Spanish government Is obliged to move for their relief , cvin at a sacrifice ol a part ot the revenues derived from Increased dutlus on American exports.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 19 , The Indian bu reau has Just completed arrangements to pay the Crow creek sutlers ? 16,000 , appropriated by the last Indian appropriation bill.
