THE RURAL NEW YORKER In discussing
the question of railway legislation and
the reduction of tariffs, says:
All indications point to the probability
OF legislation against railroad abuses in
several of the western states during the
coming WINTER and while all acknowl-
edge the necessity for 1t, 1t is to be hoped
that the lessons of the granger legislation
nearly q year ago, will teach that moder-
alton which alone can make legislation
permanently beneficial. The battle against
the railroads begins we'll with two judi
cial decisions just rendered against their
abuses. On Friday, December IL, the
supreme court of West Virginia asserted
the absolute constitutional right of the
state legislature to regulatepassenger and
freight charges In spite of any stipulation
in the charter of any railroad, and on the
following day, Saturday, December 10,
the supreme court Of Ohio denied the
right of q railroad to make discriminat-
ing rates. Several decisions of this tenor
In other states, taken In connection with
some recent judgments of the supreme
court of the United States, are striking
indications that railroad greed and domi-
nation are likely ere long to be curbed.

ONE Of our local papers ridicules the
figures that we have published with refer
ence to the public improvements of Omaha
during the year. 1t says that S5,000,0 900
would fill the Paxton house rotunda with
solid silver dollars, and it maintains that
if our improvements amounted to 81 ,000,-
600 that would be large enough. We have
| given an itemized statement Of public
Improvements showing that the sum of
1862, 900 was paid for paving, grading and
sewerage, over $500, 900 for water works
extension, gas extension, gas works, street
railway extensions, the belt line and
bridges, c%ulverts and grading of the
Burlington 81 Missouri, Union Poetic,
and Chicago, Omaha & st. Paul within
the city. We publish in the supplement
a statement showing that the sum of 81.
900, 600 was spent in buildings, the names
Of the parties being given, and we state
further that 743 buildings, costing below
81, 800 each, together with additions and
other improvements, aggregate about
100000, making in all, without the
stockyards, nearly SO, 700, 900, aud with
the stockyarda over 81, 900, 900. When
this amount is added to the public i'm
provemepts of 81, 500, 0G0 we have over
So, 900, 900. These figures, il they were
closely checked of, would actually
fall below the amount expend.
ed In Omshs for public I'M
improvements, because we have not taken
into account the thousands of dollars that
have been spent by parties for private
grading and improvements, such rs the
raising or lowering of houses and grading
of lots to conform to the changed condi-
ton of streets, nor have we given the inn
provements i'll the Union Pacific shops.
As an example of stupidity, we have only to
refer tothe Republican which paper repub-
fishes our figures but cuts down the cost
of sidewalks from S35, 1000 to l 10000. We
venture to assert that more than $1,000
wau paid for walks on Douglas and Far
nam streets alone. The Barber asphalt
company laid down granolithic walks on
the corner of Thirteenth and Farnam,
Fifteenth AMI Farnsm, Eleventh and
Douglas, and asphalt walks in other To-
c~alitiea, amounting to at least 81, 500.
Then the widening out of the Farnam
street walks from7sixteen to twenty feet
compelled an expenditure of between
$4,000 and So, 900. Besides all this we have
had stone, asphalt aud other walks on
Harvey, Dodge, Thirteenth, Sixteenth
and other streets, costing at least $10,-
900. This leaves only about $l5, 900 for
wooden walks in all parts of the city, to
make up our total estimate of $50, 900.
The next time the "Smart Alexis" of al
legged Omaha newspapers carp about our
figures they had better learn something
about the matter.

ACCORDING to B~radstreet's there were
11,600 mercantile failures in the United
States during the year 1884, the total
liabilities footing up $240, 600, and the
aHseta amounting to $1SO. 900, O00. The
only year that any where near
1884 in the number end amount OF
failures is 1870. during which there were
1O,50O failures with an aggregate liability
Of. 1924, O00, 600. The percentage of assets
to liabilities Is greater in 1884 than in
any of the preceding years, being now
81 per cent, against az per cent In 1881
and 40 percent in 1879. The total number
of bank failures during the year has been
121; the total number of bank failures
In 1883 was forty-6ye. The greatest
mortality was among the private banks,
which contributed seventy:ssyen to the
whole number. There were eleven say.
ings banks, twenty-five state banks, and
eleven national banku among thu failures
of 1884. There is an increase over 1888
in each class. 1t is not a very pleasing
or encouraging fact that more than half

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

Parliament will next week
and the struggle between the commons
and house of lords over the redistribution
bill will be removed with an earnestness
on both sides that promises to become
intensely interesting, The general i'm.
preston is that a compromise will be eff.
fected between the ~contending forces
that will e Insure it's ratification,
coupled with concessions which Mr..
Gladstone has agreed to make through
his party. At present Gladstone and his
ministry have more to fear from the
hopeless division among their own adher-
herents than they have from the tories.
The fractional conflict within the liberal
party is becoming moro dangerous to Its
supremacy every day, and Its mission as
the dominant power may be ended much
Eooner than was expected.
Never before has Macaulay's maxim
that compromise Is the essence of politics
had such q significant illustration as In
the negotiations between the leaders of
the two great parties on the principles
and details of the redistribution bill.
There has been, indeed, no more curious
spectacle than the sitting down together
in one small room in Downing street OF
champions, whom, as Lord Rosebery wit.
tily suggested in a recent speech at Liv-
erpool, Salisbury Plain would not have
contained q month before without serious
rick of bloodAhed That Mr.. Gladstone
and Sir Stafford Norlhcote should have
been willing to confer ON the subject, Is
not very surprising; for the minister had
repeatedly ayowed his readiness to listen
to any suggestions from the conservative
leaders, and so far a possible to meet
their wishes, and Sir Stafford Northcote
has never been al extremist. But it is
not easy to see what pressure could have
forced a leader 30 impstuous s. Lord
Salisbury to come into an agreement.
The result has been q compromise involv-
ing Issues 80 complicated and far reach
Ing that no n in England pretsnds to
forecast Its immediate effects, and much |
less to predict those of the future. 1t is
however, that this compromised
has produced a much better bill than
either party alone could have drawn or
could have carried through parliament.

that s~tartles the other states. A Ger
man colony has been planted at Angra
Pequna, on the West African coast, and
q strip of coast from 26 latitude 10 Cape
Frio has been secured. Bismarck ha
also promoted the Congo Conferences
and evidently intends to be a weighty
factor in the development of the Congo
region. But his most audaoious and
brilliant stroke of genius has been the
annexation of a portion of New Guinea
and some of the adjacent Islands,
The Australian dependencies of Eng

Guinea to England, and sent a color
sergeant there to raise the flag and
formally take possession of the island.
Lord Derby repudiated this action as
irregular, but finally permitted a por.
ton of the island to be thus taken. The
fear was that France would step in and
seize 1t, aud 30 prove 3 menace to
Australia. But now that Germany has
planted herself there, the danger is even
greater. Thus the colonizing energy
