Mugwumpery. Among the appli-
cants for chief of division in one
of the bureaus under him was a
81 600 clerk who was heavily en-
dorsed by leading Republicans. Ac-
cidently it was learned that the
same clerk was an applicant tor the
same position under the last adj
ministration and a few minutes
search revealed the fact that at
that time his endorsers were all
Democrats. He is one of the thrifty
kind that always manage to keep
solid with the party in power. He
not only got left in getting pro-
motion, but, it having been found
necessary in order to keep within
an appropriation Tor 1880 clerks
to be reduced to ,490, he was one
of them.

THE mining interests of the western
states have suffered severely in the
past from the manipulations of wildcat
schemes and companies. The result is
that mining too often has degenerated
into speculation, to the detriment of the
legitimate business. There is now
well defined movement, particularly in
Idaho, to abolish the mining exchanges
and stock boards in the territory, with
a view of checking the imitation which
has so often proven disastrous TO the
best interests of that industry. The
mines are now attracting capital and
are being worked on their true merit.
The result has been highly satisfac-
tory. But SO long as their stock is
quoted daily on the stock boards, there
is the constant danger of imitation,
which has more than once given Idaho
a setback through the operations of gi-
gantic swindles.

AT this time the beef interest is so far con-
centrated as TO be the next thing to an abso-
Lutte monopoly. 1t is, in fact, one hand with
four fingers. This, the biggest of all the big
four of the period, is centered in Chicago,
but by no means confined to it. One of these
big four, MIR. Hammond, has his works just
across the state line in Indiana in town
named in his honor, and Messrs. Armour and
Morris, are the greatest cattle buyers and
dressers of Kansas City and Omaha. The
real cause of complaint on the part of cattle
raisers is not that their beeves are not killed
and dressed at home, but that the markets
are few and those few almost wholly con-
trolled by four buyers. 1t is matter of sur
prise that the combination between the big
four is not closer and the bearing of the cat
tie market, coupled with the beef bulling of
the market, more extreme And the chances
are that unless the craftsmanship of congress
devises some way to check this tendency, the
evil will increase with time, and the agita-
tion Of the subject do harm rather than good.

The Second District Situation.
J1yfiuos Nebr-uskuD

The work Of the congressional committee
disposed of quietly and expeditiously without
the exhibition of any feeling Of heated rival
ry or angry contention. The more active
and Jealous friends in the interest of Mr..
Laws werein favor of getting an early con-
vention at McCook, and the selection of
Hastings at late date may be construed as
evidence that his strength is not so great as
his more sangune supporters had estimated
its though all are willing to concede that he is
a strong favorite In the race.
1t was conference meeting, and a pre-
liminary skirmish to ascertain the relative
strength of each candidate, and to gain, if
possible, some idea of the second choice ten
denotes in order to form conception of
where lightning would finally strike. If any
one was wise enough to solve this problem
he is much wiser than his fellows The con-
gressional situation is decidedly mixed. The
avowed candidates present were Messrs.
Laws, Harlan, Hastings, Norval, Jensen,
McPheeley and Gilham, and these, with the
addition of b. S. Baker, of Fairbury, may be
considered the number who have fairly and
unequivocally entered the field at this time.
The action of the meeting and tho inter-
change of ideas between the friends Of the
respective candidates has really shed no
new light on the situation. 1t was practi-
cally as well understood before the meeting

acres claimed by prominent Utah Mormons
were found ten moving machines cutting

promised TO place these lands back in the

OF the circle, The politicians OF France
who, two weeks ago, gave it as their
opinion that Boulcngism was on the
wane, and thatthe republic would have
no trouble in holding its own against
It, are now beginning TO hedge in their
estimates Of its strength. The recent
quarrels in the French cabinet have
weakened the opposition to Boulanger

THE senatorial investigation COM
mittee on dressed beef is finding bet
ter field in Kansas City than in Chicago.
Not alone are the witnesses more will
ling to testify but the testimony is of
such a character as to bring out the
real grievances in the beef packing
and cattle industries. The general
burden of complaint is to the effect that
u combination of packers exists in Chi
cago which prevents competition and
fixes the price of live stock not alone at
Chicago but at all the leading cattle
markets of the country. The result of
this policy is to depreciate the value of
the cattle in the hands of the Shippers
fully thirty or forty per cent. On the
other hand, the beef packers of Kansas
City assert that the dressed beef indus
try is likewise depressed and in no bet
ter condition than the cattle business.
The unbiased Judge, however, is likely
to take these latter statements with a
pinch of salt. At all events the inquiry
is assuming a most interesting phase
and 1T is to be hoped that tho vexed
question will now be probed to the bot

Sober Words to the Beef Combine.

tHiCuUO NtUS.
The Kingdoni of Beef has set at defiance
the government of the United States Philip
d. Armour and the other barons of butchers
meat have refused to recognize the right of
n committee of the national senate to order
them to appear as witnesses and testify in
regard to their business.
1t is true that Mr.. Armour and his con-
freres did not make their millions by telling
the public all they know about buying steers
and selling beef. 1t is true that they are
busy men, with little time to spare from
their large interests. But it is also true
that they are citizens of the United States
and amenable to its laws. They have no
more public rights than the humblest day.
laborer VINO works for them. 1t was their
duty to appear before the committee when
summoned. If they carry on their business
by lawful methods it was to their interest to
say so publicly and set at rest the ugly
charges which have been brought against
them by exasperated cattle-raisers. Their
refusal TO speak on the subject adds great
weight to the cause Of their enemies.
We believe that the dressed beef industry
as now carried on by the great Chicago
houses is Of material benefit to consumers In
nearly every part of the United States.

MUST BE HELD no THE Law.

The complications of the railroad
situation IN the northwest do not di
minish, aud the prospect OF an equit-
able and permanent adjustment OF the
difficulties do not improve. The fail
ure of the effort of the chairman OF the
Western Freight association to secure
the cooperation of the trunk lines and
Central Traffic association in establish
ing through rates to st. Paul having
left matters in the shape they
were before the overtures were
made, the managers are show
ing disposition to renew the
tactics which were so summarily
checked by Judge Cooley, chairman of
the Interstate commerce commission,
when he told them that they would be
compelled to conform to the law. The
Burlington & Northern continues to be
the troublesome factor in the situation,
and if the attitude of that company has
been correctly reported the time may
be near when the Interstate commerce
commission will have to take it in hand
and bring to test the authority OF the
commission.
There is very likely something more
in this railroad strife than is apparent
on the surface. The basic trouble, Of
course, is the Canadian competition,
and it would seem to be the policy of
certain roads to do nothing to remedy
the trouble, il it can be remedied, in
order that they may be enabled to de-
mand protection from congress. This
is the only inference to be drawn from
the statements regarding the attitude
of roads known to be most solicitous to
secure legislation designed TO shut out
the competition OF Canadian roads.
Meanwhile the chief concern of the
public is that all the roads shall be
compelled to comply with the law. The
railroad managers engaged in the
strife are fully informed as to what is
required for such compliance. The
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission has stated very plainly
what they may and may not DO, and il
