A Look Ahead.

Springfield Republican
1t is three years, this week, since
the national republican convention
which nominated Garfield met al Chi.
cage. In a year from now the con.
ventione of both parties will be on the
eve OF assemblage. One session of
congress i%ntervenes. The next cam
paign promises o singular destitution
of principles or practical issues. The
administration of Presldent Arthur
will probably have so far introduced
the @ method of dis
pensing tho patronage as to have
placed 1t upon practical trial. Both
parties are pledged to Its support.
There are no financial questions which
assume a party aspect. The only
issue on which parties can divide 10
the tariff and wen upon that the dem.
ocrats are more likely to divide them.
selves than their opponents. If the
democratic me )rity In the coming
house make an Intellectual attempt at
further reduction of the tariff they
will then 90 to the country upon that
issue In 1884, Whether they have the
breadth Of craftsmanship to win popu.
lar support to q broad and liberal com.
merclsl policy in Our foreign relations,
whether the course an prosperity of
Industry will dispose the people to try
new ventures in this direction, are
questions which the year must solve.
Az to candidates, there is almost
equal lack of the materials for a fore.
cast. On the republican side, the pre-
sumption that the president would
himself BIO a candidate for reelection
is thrown In doubt by the apparent
fact that he is already cloyed with the
sweets of power. Whether this In
difference to his place be- real, or only
assumed In order to prevent a prema.
ture growth OF Mr.. Arthur's "boom"
Is a matter of speculation. or the
candidates of 1880, neither Sherman
nor Blaine has gained additional
strength and Gen. Grant is not likely
again to enter the list. Edmundu Is
the only mar who has made gains and
no becomes more and more prominent
the nearer the republicans come to a
realization of their need. Although
he comes from q safe and sure state,
he has the vast advantage of never
having sought the place, of being above
reproach In his career, of having been
right on all the great Issues, and OF
having been the centre of no factions
and quarrels. In availability he must
take the first place, as being able to
unite the factions of New York re.
publicans and being acceptable to the
party as q whole In other states. Ed
munds Is probably the only republican
who oan carry New York.
The democrats must have a man to
match their platform. II they intend
to make q fight for revenue reform
they must put forth a clear deolara-
tion for 1t and stand to it, by their
candidate and their campaign, and not
merely chalk 1t up on the wall as a
good republican target, and take to
their heels as they did In 1880. That
experience was instructive, or would
be to a party which takes instruction.
They have yet a session of congress in
which to raise candidates and SOW the
seed of Victory or of defeat.

The Tail Ways the Head.

~
Mr.. Hendricks steps into the politi.
cal arena and announces himself for
Tllden. and Hendricks. In other
words, he Is for Hendricks and Is will
Ing to take the head of the old ticket
as the only way to get the tail. The
remarkable interview with him which
Is published In an Indiana paper can
have no other meaning.
The two parts of the democratic
ticket Of 1876 never. had any real sym.
psthy or harmony. Tilden despised
Hendricks and Hendricks dialiked
Ttlden. Nevertheless, Hendricks in
this. interview beslsvers Tilden with
his Shiny adulstion and virtually de-
clares that the old ticket should be
renominated. Heretofore, Hendricks
has persistently proclaimed that he
would not again accept q nomination
for vice.president, but he now says it
would he his duty to yield. His decla-
ration is a plain bid for the old ticket.

rHEIRIsH MATroNAL LEAGUE

The Irish National League In
Omaha, as everywhere else, succeeds
the Irish National Land League and
will doubtless secure the same support
that WAS accorded to Its predecessor.
The aims Of the land league wero nec.
essarily restricted, and bore especial
reference to redressing the wrongs
suffered by a single class. The scope
Of the National league Is wider and LIS
object more comprehensive. Tues
days ratification Of the league by Irish
organizations throughout the country
was too general to leave any doubt Of
the warmth with which the new body
has boon received by Iriahmen, or Of
the glad reception accorded to Its dec
laration of principles. The aspira-
tlon OF a race for liberty cannot be
smothered by coercion or sti 4 I'd by the
air of exile. The land league move.

The new Irish league has affected an
organization which will make IL o pow.
erful instrument In furthering the
plans of the Parnellites abroad. 1t
will aim to lend every n 1urag ement
to the work of Irish patriots In secur-

More than this, it will bind together

JUDGE LAWRENCE has rendered an
important decision In the case of the
government against the subsidized
roads. The Issue involved was the
right of the government to withhold
compensation for mall carriage ON the
branch lines of the land grant roads.
The first comptroller of the treasury
holds that neither the act of March Q,
1873, or the so.oalled Thurman act of
1873, nor the act of March 3, 1879,
give the government any such right,
which Is confined by the statutes to
the main lines Of roads directly subsi-
died by the government.
This opinion will keep milllons of
dollars, to which they have no equita-

act that their earnings diverted to the
building of branch lines would be de.
Quoted from the sums charged up as
net earnings and on which 20 per oent
Is required to be turned Into the ma.
tional treasury In payment of their

Of branch lines has been necessary,
1t has been systematically used by
the Union Pacific to swindle the ma.
ton out of their rightful dues from
the proceeds of the main line. The
large sums used In building such
roads as the Utah & Northern and
the Oregon Short Line have all been
made on the main line, and charged
up In the annual reports to the con.
struotion and operating account. The
main line, to which the Thurman act
is confined, has In this way been
forced to psy all the expenses for the
branch limos, from which earnings the
government receives no benefit. 1t is
through this kind of sculduggery
that Sidney Dillon Is able to boast

AN ILLEGAL LOTTERY.

To the Editor Of the Courier Journal.
While the material and commercial in.

in certain decided tendencies toward i'm.
provement of our city's moral condition.
One of the best things thst could have
been done for sound morals and for the
good name of the city abroad, is the blow
struck by the Grand Jury last Tuesday at
the Commonwealth Distribution Company,
in bringing indictments against the four or
five persons whose names appear on the
surface In its alleged monthly drawings.
These indictments are against h. M.

People who are Informed as to the work.
ings OF the lotteries hereabout know that
the Commonwealth Distribution Company
did secure and at first operate under a legal

1t has claimed to work first under one and
then under another class or grant of other

AN ordinance wal read twice at the
last meeting Of the city council and
referred, which provides for the
licensing of ~circuses, side shows and
theatrical exhibitions In Omaha. This
ordinance fixes the rate Of license for
circuses at $500 and for side shows
at $50 for each twenty four hours;
for each theatre per year, 5000; for
each variety theatre per year, 500,
and for each theatrical performance at
$40.
SO far as all but the last clause Is
concerned the ordinance ought to
carry. Every circus that strikes
Omaha takes from five thousand to
ten thousand dollars out of the city.
As circuSes are now run they bring no
money into a town except their license
fee and the rent Of the ground on
which they exhibit. All their pro-
visions for men and beasts is carried
with the caravan and purchased by the
Wholesale. A license fee of five hum
dred dollars Is small enough, and will
not prevent any decent show from
putting up It's csnvas In Omaha. The
license for theatres Is also proper and
the sum charged a reasonable one. It
Ia questionable, however, whether 1t
will be wise to charge $40 fer each
theatrical performance after having
previously licensed q playhouse on 3
yearly basis.

TIE NEW DAKora CApIrAa

The selection Of Bismarck IS tn,
new capital of Dskots, at the close o
q campaign which has been conducted
with great vigor, has caused genera
rejoicing among the people Of North
ern Dakota. The last territorial leg
islaturo, after a lively and bitter dis
cossion, passed a bill appointing q
capital commission with power to re
ceivo bids for sites, the cash bonus IL
no case to fall below 800, 900. The
contestants we're finally narrowed
down to six. Pierre, Huron, Rad
field and Mitchell we're the represent,
sttvea of southern Dakota, while
jamestown and Bismarck appealed
for q recognition Of thu claimt
Of the northern part Of the territory.
The question of territorial division on
the 46sh parallel which was urged &C
strongly at this las. legislature docs
not seem to have eff.ossd the finsl de.
c.slon # the commission. Southern
DAkota was generally for Bismarck al
sound choice, because they reasoned
that its selection would still leave a
chance for their section in case the ter.
ritory was finally divided. This sontl.
meat had much to do with the choice
Of Bismarck en- the second ballot.
The new site Is only forty miles from
the geographical center Of the terri
tory, and Is located on the Missouri
river, which Is crossed at that point
by the magnificent iron bridge of the
Northern Pacific. 1t Is situated in
the center Of = fine agricultural ooun-
try, four railroads are pushing towards
it, and since the location of the cspi.
tai lots have quadrupled In value
within the olty limits, while adjoining
lands hsve risen from 5000 to 81, 600
an acre.
1t now seems likely that the loca-
ton Of the capital has settled for m any
years to come the question of terrific
rial division. Bismarck Is more CEN
tralIy situated than any other city of
Its size that could have been selected.
1t Is located on the main line of the

will be exceedingly difficult to secure

of the territory, The bands of iron

and bind 1t to Its new capital. The
vote that made 1t the capital also
negatived territorial division.
