We believe that a law along this hue if constitutional, would be a good thing, but it strikes us that Mr. Mead's measure is too sweeping to receive the necessary number of votes for its passage, whereas a more moderate bill might pass. Plans are being prepared for the building of new U. P. shopH in Omaha, but as yet-no appropriation to cover the cost of the buildings has been made.

This, however, is in contradiction to the proposed plan, said to be fully matured, to enlarge the Bhops at this point, an appropriation for which it is understood will be made this year. Y. M. C. A.
