The corn crop on an average is yielding from 30 Jo 50 bushels to the acre of excellent quality. Those who have been here long 'enough to have hogs to feed their corn are realizing from $4.25 to $4.50 per hundred for them, which is equivalent to 35 or forty cents a bushel for corn. Those that are marketing their corn are now receiving 25 cents a bushel for.it with prospect of prices being much better before summer. There are a great many feeding cattle at present which will consume the surplus by early spring and make corn scarce through the summer for home use. With the amount of graz ing lands the county affords it will always be well stocked with cattle which will assure a home market for corn each year. Farming and especially raising corn is certain to be one of the best businesKes in the county. A failure in crops has never been known here and the yield has always been above the average of other localities. Broken Bow Republican.

Tee Engineering 2Tew of New York thus punctures Lincoln's railroad scheme, with coupon attachment:. "The railroad projects which are gotten np for the pu r pose'of booming real estate often show a marvelous facility in leaking through the little end of the horn. If the projectors can raise the $4,000,000 or so required for building their road, among patriotic citi zens of Lincoln, they may. succeed in their scheme. Otherwise it would be well to consider whether the proposed line has a reasonable chance of paying its operating expenses, at fixed charges, when run in competition with its powerful rivals." The following paragraph in the New York Tribune is sufficiently timely to warrant its reproduction. It should have been sent to the president before he wrote the message : "A western congressman, evidently of a mathematical turn of mind, figures out that the surplus isn't so great a bugbear after all. His 'sums' in ad dition and substraction leave a final remainder of only $45,000,060; and if he could have his own way he woild prob ably h,ave little difficulty in disposing of this trifle. Seriously though, wouldn't it be well to settle all honest claims against the government first, and then find out the balance on hand, before attacking the surplus problem."" $25.00 Reward.

The South Carolina Methodist Confer ence has resolved that "an attendance upon the theater or circus, or an profes sional or amateurdramatic or impersonat ing exhibition, is inconsistent with the obligations of a Christian profession to 'renounce the world, the flesh, and the devil."' Magistrate Smith, of Philadelphia, does not temper his justice with mercy when dealing with men who entice young girls from home to their ruin, and when Joseph Van Dorn Kelly appeared before him Friday to answer to the charge of eloping with a young girl while he had a wife at home, $5,000 was the bond that held him ia the Criminal Court. There is a slight discripency in the fig ures somewhere. During the campaign of '84, Senator Vest and other Democratic leaders charged that the Republican ad ministrations had squared since the war $400,000,000 in repairing the eld ships of the navy. Secretary Whitney says the figures are only $70,000,000. But then $330,000,000 of a stretch isn't much for a democratic orator to make. Nothing indicates perhaps more clearly the growing greatest of the west than the new departure in the matter of fast trains on the trunk lines of railway west of the Missouri river. Three years ago the most vivid imagination would hardly havo pictured eight passenger trains flying daily through the Republican valley ; much less one of these a "flyer," with a schedule time of fifty miles an hour and making only three or four stops in the entire State of Nebraska. Senator Palmer, of Michigan, will intro duce during the. session a bill prepared for the purpose of regulating and restrict ing immigration to the United States by keeping out persons whoseem likely to he undesirable citizens.

The speculative tendency at work has helped to harden values and to stimu late demand among a great many consum ers who find themselves without material enough to complete the contract work in hand. The upward tendency in prices, says the same paper, will not probably go very far. Manafacturing Interests geaer ally, are too nervous to secure a large amount of business on their books.

At present the farmers of Nebraska do not know how to understand these new industries, nor does any one until the the experiment has been thoroughly tried. It can hardly be expected that private individuals will risk their money ia what may prove a failure. What can be done by the government in such experimental stations has been proved by the successful manufacture of sugar from sorg ham ac complished at aa experimeetal station la Kansas.
