THE NTOBU.
Of the storm of wind and snow which
has kept the Union Paoi&o railroad
blocked tip durjng the last tea days, a
recent number the Cheyenne Leader
KiTes this aocount : ; "Tuesday afternoon,
the wind suddenly rose to a tempesi.
The air was- densely filled with sncw,
xvhich whirled aai twisted in all direc
tions. So dense was the mass of snow
flakes in the air, anl to powerful aad ir
resistible the wtndi that one could not
fee a yard in advance, even on the aide
walks, where the streets were sheltered
by a continuou row of buildings. . A
person was liable to be lost in the niost
familiar localities, and some citizens who
happened to be out lost their way within
half a block of their own houses, one
lady becoming bewildered when almost
inside her own door yard. . The children
at the- publio school had to be taken to
theif'homes, a3 it wonld have been ut
terly impossible for them to have made
their way home alone through the storm.
This terrible squall continued until after
midnight. The morning was one of the
coldest ever experienced in the city, the
mercury indicating 20 degrees below
zero.
JILT TWO.
The Lincoln Statesman pretend to
give the status of the press of Nebraska
upon tho question of the recent Legis
lature, and claims that only the Lincoln
Journal and Plattsraouth Herald en
dorse fbe action of those who refused to
acknowledge that six is a majority of
thirteen, and who refused to be pro
rogued unconstitutionally. The Omaha
Hepublican cepies the effusion of the
Statesman, and argacs that this is the
'best evidence" that these men and
their measures are . politically dead. It
matters but little to us whether there is
one, two, or a hundred other papers en
dorse the' things ws endorse, or con
demn too things we condemn. We
doubt not that such weak backed sheets
as the Statesman and Republican may
look to see who is going their road, but
we hope when we have not sufficient in
dependence of character to select our
eourso because we believe it to be right,
and not because some other paper or
some other man is taking that course,
that some providence may interfere to
prevent us from controling the columns
of a newspaper. 'Oa!y two" as if
that detracted from the right or wroug.
How many righteous were found in
Sodom ? Will our weak-backed neigh
bors ite them as being in the wrong be
cause they were in the minority? We
have not endorsed the Legislature in the
manner indicated by the Statesman, yet
we have endorsed them eo far as their
riyht to remain in sesnion, notwithstand
ing the attempted proroguation of the
Uoase by acting Governor James and
the attempted adjournment of the Sen
ate by President Hascall, and upon these
f mints we defy the Statesman or Republ
ican, or any and all other papers in this
or any other Stat?, to controvert the po
Mtioo. taken by the Herald and the
Lincoln Journal. If it is wrong to ak
thit sound reason be advanced to mis
tain a position before we accept it as
true, then we will always be found in the
wrong, regardless of the numbers against
us ; and if boldfaced assertion, unua
tained by fact, is right, then the States
man and Republican are right, and not
otherwise.
PARTY OR PEBSOXAIi.
There are not, and cannot bo, but two
classes or kinds of politics party or per
sonal. The moment we forsake party
politics that moment we embark upon
personal politics. We have had a full
ir P th latter in Nnhravka 1nr;nsr
tho past two years, and we think there
ia little doubt that the people are now
ready to abandon it and return to party
politics as thb only sure method of secur
ing a just and honest administration of
public affair. This everlasting personal
warfare this wrangling and jangling
this crimination and recrimination of
every man who is prominent before the
public, must certainly he distasteful to
all right-minded men. The remedy for
all this is to return to strict party lines,
and let the party be responsible for the
acts ot the men they place in power, and
then the party will have a direct interest
in seeing that its representatives do not
bring reproach upon it by evil doing,
and its adherents will be ever ready to
advise and assist, and even compel those
filling positions at their hands to a right
coarse of action. On the personal plan,
every man's hand is against his neighbor,
and every man (or nearly every one) is
willing to see hi neighbor go dewn iato
tho slough without a hope of recovery,
and ha will oven assist him down if by
that mean he can elevate himself to po
sition and power. The result of perso
nal politics is to contract the very per
nicious habit, and even desire, to tear
down your neighbor and your friends
that you may build yourself up on his
ruins. This may suit the vicious and
depraved such as the Omaha Herald
but no man ef sound morals and hon
est purposes can long endure this style
of pelitics.
Chief Justice McKean refuses to ad
tnit the prisoners in the custody of the
UnijecJ, States to bail and says :
"Were these prl-oners to bo turned
loose before trial, it would be without
precedent, besides there are reasons
which cannot be made public why these
prisoners .should not be admitted to bail
. reasons which District Attorney Bates
cannot have communicated to Attorney
General Williams, m and to which Mr.
Bates seems quite indifferent. Indeed,
be is known by., the Court to have ma ia
in another particular serious mif state
ments in regard to affairs in Utah. This
judicial proceeding! am placed here to
decide under the law.. It is not im
probable that the irreppaosib.e magis
trate called Judge Lynch, would assume
the seal,, which I would thereby have
J roved myself unworthy to hold. ; I re
use to admit the prisoners to bail. . Mr.
Bates urged upon the Attorney General
the application for bail on the ground,
aatetnihtyj of saving expense."
The Fropatcd Reform.
'A people's party" is the latest catch
word of the- Omaha Herald. Herald
thunder is just now being extensively
employed to show that the political sal
vation of the State depends upon the
immediate organisation of a no party
Earty under the lead of that pure patriot
r. Geo. L Miller.
This sudden and loud outcry is made
in the name of reform, and the move
ment is professedly for the correction of
existing evils. 1 here are however two
good aad sufficient reasons why all Re
publicans and many Democrats will de
cline having anything to do with this
beautiful scheme :
The first is the source frem which it
originates. This alone ia enough for Re-
jrpublicans. Dr. Miller has always been a
most ultra JJsuocrat, and tor ntteen
years has done his utmost to defeat and
destroy the Republican party in this
State. That ttis i still a cherished pur
pose with him, and the main object of
the proposed movement does not require
any great amount of discernment to dis
cover. An ultra bitter partisan as the
organ and orgauizer of a no party party
gives the affair a decided jug-handlu ap
pearance. The second is that the proposed reme
dy is no remedy at all, but the reverse.
Honesty and economy in the administra
tion of government can only be secured
through the acency of parties. This is
experience and-it is common sense. If
members of the Legislature are elected
on straight party tickets, their party
feels bound, and is respoi.-Mble for their
conduct; and its entire influence is used
to prevent its members from disgracing
the party.
The trouble with us is that we have
too much of this professed remedy al
ready. It is what is making us sick.
There never was a body more destitute
of partisanship as the Legislature ju.t
adjourned and against which the Herald
brines so many and serious charges.
It is the natural and legitiinato result of
a people s ticket in all the river count ion
of the State at the last general election.
Tlcse mongrel no-party, fa-ion tickets
weij successful iu one-third of the dis
tricts, and demoralized party organiza
tions in more than a half.
It is hoped that wo shall have a re
form; tat local and personal politics
will be forgotten; and that Republicans
every where will put forward their best
men and give them their unqualified
support. If this is done the next elec
tion will result in the much talked of re
form. Some Democrats may get into
Legislature, but they will be representa
tive men, and from policy, if from no
higher motives, will prove infinitely bet
ter than Tom, Dick, and Harry nobodies
of the people's party, who have made
such a ines of things within the past
few weeks. Xemaha Valley Journal.
As narrow jjauge roads are attracting
considerable attention, we give tho. fol
lowing in regard to their cost.
Obviously one of the principal ques
tion1 in connection with this subject is as
to the cost of constructing railways upon
this narrow gauge as compared with the
existing broad gauge cystem. Upon
this point much practical information
ha been furnished by English engineers
and ethers. lo-JSorw.iy there are two
narrow gauge roads three feet fcix inch
es in successful operation. One of these,
twenty four and a half miles in length,
with a rise of 400 feet, and crossing
many deep and extensive swamps, cost
at the rata of $15,000 a mile, including
bridges, Htatinns and rolling stock coni
p'ete. The other line cost at the rate of
$25,000, having to cross a ridge more
than 500 feet in bight. A broad gauge
line constructed in tho same neighbor
hood cost $18,500 more per Euilo than
the first of the narrow gauge road re
ferred to showing clatrly the great ad
vantage of the latter in point of econo
my. In India where the railway system re
quires for its completion at lcaet 10,000
miles of road, , this whole subject has
been investigated by a government com
mission with the utmost fidelity and clos
est scrutiny of detail, Every member
of this coiumij-siou re: orted in favor of
the narrow gauge, on the ground that,
by adopting it instead of the present one
f five feet six inchos, a saving of $250,
000,000 can be effected! The eot of
one mile of railway on the present plan
in India is $47,005. while the cost of
one mile of a gauge of two feet eight
inches would be $30,200.
As to the cost of operating and main
taining the narrow gauge road as com
pared with the broad cauge, the advan
tage of the former ia hardly less marked
iivi miiw4v. In the casu f India,
just mentioned, according to estimates
and maintenance, renewals, and working
over the 10,000 miles of railway, would,
if capitalized at twenty year, purchase,
represent a capital of $300,000,000, or
more than tix times the broad gauge rol
ling stock now in that country. In the
case of the Norway road, the statistics
ahow conclusively that narrow gauge
lines, costing only two thirds as much as
the ordinary i gangs, can be worked and
maintained at three-fourths of tlx ex
pense of the latter.

One of the essentials to the pure ad
ministration of a government ia party.
There must be a majority and a min
ority the minority holding and exer
cibisg a restraint upon tho majority.
The actiou of the people throughout
the United States for the past year has
been a thorough lesson on this subject.
Scarcely a State or municipal election
has been had where thare has not been
soma "Independent" or "People'" can
didates elected, and in almost every in
stance they have proved themselves rec
reant to tho trust reposed in them. Our
State Legislature, which has been hold
iog carnival at Lincoln for the pa6t two
weeks, is largely cam posed of this class.
As they belong to no party, they are re
sponsible to no party for their actions
anl consequently "go heavy" while they
have a chance. We hope this lesion,
taught at such a fearful cost to the peo
ple, will arouse them to a sense of their
duty in the future. Let men be select
ed by the two contending parties Re
publican and Daniooratic let them be
selected not for tbair political sagacity
or power, but for their honesty, integrity,
and capabilities, making the party who
places them ia position responsible for
every act, done by them, wh;le a servant
of the people, an l of the party to which
they belong. When this is doDO, we
may look for a faithful administration of
affairs, and not until then. How every
action of the chief executive of the na
tion ii watched and criticised by the De
mecratic press, ho being a recognized
leader of the Republican party, and that
party being held responsible for his ev
ery action bv the people. How eagerly
the Republican press of the nation
grabbed at the exposure of the Tamma
ny thieves at an instrument with which
to crush out its opposing foe, the Dem
ocratic party, holding that party renpon
aible for the doings of those "wholesale
swindlers," and with what avidity has
the Democratic press of the State seized
upon the doings of the late Gov. Butler,
as aparty weapon. Both parties are
now pausing through a purifying process,
the result of which wiil, we hop, be a
glorious epoch in thcr future glory and
greatness cf the nation. West Point

Never, perhaps, did the wbirlgig of
time bring about a more singular change
than the one the Pacific railroad has
wrought in reference to the bison of the
plains. When the plan of a transconti
nental railroad was first broached in
Congress. tho Hon. Thos. H. Benton,
then considered one of the profoundest
thinkers living, smiled tho scheme le
scorn as born ot brains of visionaries.
He was a western man this mighty pub
licist from Missouri, and he knew, that
railroad track across the plains would be
trampled into the earth by the pacing
herds of buffalo as fast as the hands of
man could lay them, and that neither
human strength nor ingenuity couU guard
the rails from the onslaught of the bi.-on-A
railroad spans the continent, and, in
stead of being destroyed by, it bids fair
to prove the exterminating agent of Ben
ton's dreaded buffalo.
Thousands of hunters are conveyed to
the buffalo country by these trains, and
they slaughter the monarch of the prai
ries in the most wanton manner for sport.
From the windows of flying cars help
less animals are i-hot down in pure wan
tonness by pasengers desirous of im
proving their aim. This indiscriminate
and wholesale killing of a harmless spe
cies of "the brute creation m cal'ing forth
protest against the slayers. No les a
person than Major General Hazen ap
peals to Eastern ph lantropisfs to take
immediate t-teps to stay the threatened
extermination of the bison. Congress
will be called upon to enact a law protect
ing? the buffalo from the Nimrods of the
Pacific railroad, whose tracks, instead of
being trampled under ground, have been
liberally bedewed with the blood of be
wildered bisens. Philadelphia Inquirer.

A scene occurred day or two sinco
upon the Lake Shore railroad, between
Erie and Cleveland, that occationed a
momentary sensation on one of the
coaches of the passenger train. A young
countryman entered the cars at Girard
Pennsylvania, and taking a seat by the
stove, began to unwrap several yards of
a borne made comforter from his face
and throat, which operation-when com
pleted, disclosed a countenance that
glowed with the healthy tint of a boiled
lobster, relieved in epot by occasional
darker disoolorations indicating a cuta
neeus disorder of some dismal character.
In addition to this pot on the Min, his
brow was surrounded by a corona of hair
of the Thoiupsonian type, that stood
erect and formed a waving nebulas of cap
illary beauty that heightened the rich
and royal tints below. After gettiug
comfortably established, the new passen
ger looked around and discovered an ac
quaititacce in a seat adjoining. Greet
ing ensued, when the latter asked,
"What is the matter with your face?"
"Well," replied the ruby tinted chap,
"I don't know exactly what does ail. me;
some say it is small pox but I don't be
lieve it, though our folks kicked up such
a muss that I thought I would ruu up to
Cleveland and see what was the matter."
This conversation which was conducted
in a loud voice, was listened to with in
terest by the other passengers, but wheu
the speaker had ended, there were sev
eral vacant .seats in the vicinity, and
though a medical expert who was on the
train pronounced it simply a case of ery
sipelas, the "man who did not know what
was the matter with him," had all the
room he needed for comfort or repose
the rest of the trip. Cleveland Loader.
