We like the Bee's suggestion in re gard to immigration me.isures," and think from past experiences all immi gration bureaus, expensive and use less attachments.

Ox one branch of the C. & N. W. R. R. in Minnesota, there are towns that rail road trains cannot re.ich, and fuel has not been taken there since Dec, 21th.

It is thought the Irish radicals have made a mistake, having lost by a moment of passion the work of months, whereas, by exer cising patience a little longer they might have gained many concessions . as both Bright and Gladstone were favorable to reform in Ireland. The talk about New York or Indi ana or this big state and that big state being entitled to a seat in the Cabinet is all nosh. In convention in Congress the big states get all the pjums because they have the most delegates or the most representatives. We can't help that but when it comes to Cabinet Officers a'nd such, the lit tle states should have thera all, all of 'em.

The averagj rainfall for the months of March, April and May, was much less than for many years previous. April was drier than any year since 18C0 and but one drier April has been known fei thirty years. The total movement of the wind during the year and partieulaily dur ing the months of March, April, May was greater than during any year of which record, has been made. 1880 had the coldest October since 1873. November was 11 degrees colder than the mean of the last fourteen years. The Grafton Gazette says: There is always a large number of persons who cry "hard times" when asked to subscribe for a newspaper, but we have noticed in every instance that times are always harder with the man who does noi try to take a newspaper than with one who yearly subscribes for three or four. The reason is plain ; the latter reads and thinks, and is bet t r able to overcome business difficul ties, while the former, having nothing of the kind t compel him to think and reason, allows his mind to become inactive, and t..e result is "hard times" for that man all the time. It is a law of nature that the use of any organ or part of the body makes it better able to peiform any task w ich is put ap on it. For this reason, a man who reads a number of papers each week and keep3 his mind active by thinking of public questions, makes better con tracts, and attend to 1 is business af fairs with a greater degree of profici ency, and the result is he is seldom heard to complain of hard times. The first stage-coach in America commenced running between Boston and Providence in the year 1772, taking two days for the journey. Now we go over the same distance in an hour! A hollow tree in southern Califor nia has been converted into a dwell ing. Doors and windows iave been put in, and floors built for eight sto ries, the entrance to them bing made by means of a ladder. Outside of the topmost room is a small balcony shaded by the foli -ge of the tre'e. Up to the la'ter half of the last cen tury we had not reached to the excel lence of the locks that were used in Egypt and China thousands of years ago, and we now cannot be said to have surpassed them. Among the really justifiable bills presented to our Legislature are four in regard to laborers receiving their pay from contractors on railroad or public works. It has too often hap pened that a rascally or foolish con tractor has left the poor men who did the work without a cent. These bills require guarantees of payment to the men. One good bill would be enough ; like the Temperance and Railroad legislation there ar.) so many bills they will eventually kill themselves if not harmonized by the friends of these measures. The University students have gat into difficulty over their paper, the "Hesperian Student;" owing to some dispute in regard to election of editors the faculty ordered that the Student should not be published until the party whom they decided tlwy lawfully elect ed editor should be recognized. The opposite faction rebelled, stole the forms aud issued the paper with their editor' name at the head, aud the fac ulty thereupon suspended four of the managors supposed to be responsible, and more are likely t follow. Hay, corn or oats taken on sub. at market rates at this office. Thos. Caklyle, the great English writer is dead, at the ripe age of eighty-six years.

In Oregon and Califor nia tha rains are causing heavy floods in various parts. It looks as if 1:0 part of the country would suffer from drouth this year. The Herald has been late several times lately. Once we held it inten tionally for the senatorial result, once the cold weather hindered tho press work, and last week the Old Nick seemed to get into the type, press, printers, paper and all. Wait till it thaws up and we'll hurry the old thing along a little Thursdays.

Alluding atain to th's matter we would remars that our friend has not been back, nr have I beeu waited on by any committee aa yet to see how friendly the Herald is to said Alli ance. The Herald has .published every notice sent it of the formation of Al liances and this week gives in Adi rondack's letter, the constitution and formation of Farmers' Clubs or Alli ances. If this isu't pretty positive evidence of friendliness, we cannot imagine what would be. I have sometimes thought I would take Mr. Schulhof and Mr. Pettee and my neighbor Mr. Pepperberg perhaps, and form a committee and - wait on Cal. Parmele and Joe Conner and ask them "if they were friendly to the grain business." Or I might get Geo. Fairfield and Levi Todd and a neighbor or two and go down and interview Mr. Baird and tell him we were sent to see if he was friendly "to the cause of religion." It makes no difference that he has preached it for years, and he uphold it, &C, we want te know if he is jriendly to religion; if he'll take the pledge thaf, he is and to equal our temperance and Farmer committees, we ought to stipulate that he is friendly to "our kind" of religion, but we'll let him off. if he'll only say he is friendly to religion in a general way. I have not seen that committee yet, and if they had come, I should have asked them a few questions and com pared notes as to who had already given the most time the most money and the most thought to the farmers' Alliance. To salifcfy other inquiries then I will just state that I attended the first meeting I could hear of in the county (at McCain's School House) taking a day or two extra' to do it. I attended the meeting Jan. 3th at Lincoln. The beginning of John T. Bell's report for the Bee was made from my notes (he coming in late). I wrote the entire article, giving the doings of the meeting the first day, that appeared in the Globe at Lincoln, at the request of its Local who was busy elsewhere. In a little speech at McCaig's school-house last September 1 stated some of the facts and suggested the one prominent remedy that Mr. Thur bur has made prominent in his article in Scribner in November, which has been quoted most widely by all pro fessing to wish to restrain and control corporate power. My talk was made very quietly, I was not sent out by any Board 01 trade or congressional committee and therefore it was net heralded all over the United States as ?. new dis covery in Anti railroad mattters, and I only mention it now as an evidence that I have given it some thought and attention and have in a quiet way perhaps made my influence flt in the right directum full as much as those who are louder mouthed or more pre tentious in their claims of being the farmers especial fiiend. But I didn't open this arlh ! this way to say this alone, but something further in absolute jiist.ee to myself. It is impossible for us to allow the space for a Temperance column, for instance, and for the large County cor respondenee we have, and for our far mer flit nd Adirondack's correspond ence, and then devote much more space to particular topics with our own writing, no matter how friendly I may be individually to any subject, ' one or the other would have to be cut off. If I should curtail the Women's Temperance column, or abolish it en tirely, the friends of temperance migLt have just cause to think that I was really unfriendly to temperance. If. on the other hand, I should cutoff Ad irondack and other County farmer cor respondence, they might with good reason think I was tired of their case, or their presentation of it. I have done in these matters what seemed best in a business way for the paper, and what would give most sat isfaction to the greatest number of readers. I have the most friendly feeling to wards the farmeis of Cass County, .s many of them stood by me when pro fessional men and politicians wanted to eat me up, or drive me out of busi ness. The Herald has what ni'ghl be called a business interest in their pros perity and success, for we have over SLOOO invested in some of them, and it certainly would not be for our in terest to have them disci imina'ed against, or any extortions practised upon them. When as a newspaper rr ha an in dividual we can be of any use or bene fit to the farmer we shall always re spond heaitily to their call. Ed. Herald. With regaad to the public phase of the railroad question there are now ten or twelve bills before our Legisla ture for its regulation and control. There are two bills in the Congress of the United States regulating and re stricting railroad corporations, the Supreme court of the United States has declared that the states or the gov eniiijent have the right to control and reculate us they see fit, and the only question before the people i3 which are the best me.isures to accomplish that purpose. The anti-railroad boom is runniug itself; it seems triumphant, and tho ouly thing we should fear as a farmer would be that these agencies are overdoing the matter and in try ing to do too much, will accomplish nothing. Vi'e are watchina this matter as in telligently as any reader of this paper can, with as great a love for Nebraska as any can have, and a desire for fair pjav fx celled by no man. When we can see thitt cur influence can accomplish good for the state or the people, we shall always act with promptness, The 1 elegrapii Monopoly. Rurus IJatch, when asked what he had to say about hj consolidation of tho telegraph companies, said; "When Tweed and Sweeny were running this city, e,nd the Times exposed their lit tle game, Tweed turned to the public and said: 'What ais you going to do about ity That is just what Gozhl and Vanderbilt are saying to the citizens of New York to-day. Twed and Sweeny found out what was going to be done about it, and Gould ami Van derbilt will find out in time. I have heard that the new consolidation com pany intends to remove its offices from this city.

It Is rumored that the printers take their innings this week and will pre sent a case or two of incongruous and unjust laws for the Solon s to gaze at That's right boy b,' printer boy, we mean, there are four or five of you there this winter, and it's perhaps the last legislation they'll ever let a print er into in Nebraska, make your mark while you've got your hand in (and mouth open). Ask 'em some easy con undrums; "frinstance" II. R. 35, "An act to regulate fees and salaries" pro vides $3 per day for County Commis sioners while actually on duty, and a rather slight increase in all County of ficers pay, because thev all say they cannot live at present rates, but when it comes to printers' fees, they are not raised any. We don't Complain of that, theugh, we're satisfied with pre sent rates, but we want to kuow that we can get that rate, that we are not to be cut down and made to bid and in all our business left to the whim or caprice of an officer or individual, who may be elected unfriendly to news papers generally or to one particularly. Then there is no excuse or aoology that we can see for such legislation as this in II. R. 63 Duties of Commis sioners &c. "Fifth To cause to be published at the close of each annual, regular or special meeting of the board a brief statement of the proceedings in one newspaper of geueral circula tion published in the county, and also their proceedings on equalization of Assessment roll pro vide J, 110 publi cation in a newspaper shall be requir ed unless the same can be done at an expense not exceeding oue-lhird legal rates." It is frequently supposed that we (printers) object to such things be cause we want more money. Well if we did it's no more than the farmer is after, the lawyer, the doctor and even the pars- n; but we don't object this t'me on that ground, we want lhatun' del stood. We ha-e demonstrated that the Herald can be run, at least, un der any kind of laws you give us. We object to the above and all similar leg islataiou on the ground of its pure aud unadulterated idiocy. Are there public proceedings pub lished for the benefit of the printers alone, that he may see them, or for the farmer in a remote part of the counly If only for the printer, why set up the type. Give him 63 as a fee for his own use aud never mind the publica tion at all. If printed fr the public's infor mation don't they want that informa tion just as much at full legal rates as at one third. That is: this law reads These proceedings need publication if you can get it for a dollar; if it costs two dollars they don't need ("require") to be published. These proceedings are published for the benefit of the tax-payers, if at all ; aud mostly for those away from the county Seat. We c.tu go down to the Court House any day and see what the commissioners have done, and and if nobody else cares to know, we object as a tax-payer to paying Mac Murphy, or Bushnell, or Thompson any of our money to print what is uot "required" to be printed (unless it costs only one third lates) for the benefit of any one but ourselves and go in for saving the whole cost and expense of publishing the public do ings of public officers, when we can go and see them for nothing.

Sherman County Times. An elephant passed through Cen tral City from the west last Wednes day. He was a young one, and had his trunk checked clear through.-Item Packing au Idephtiut. York Sun.' Capt. J, Muilett, he famous sea lion catcher, arrived lu the city yesterday from San Francisco. The captain did not bi ing his usuai assortment of sea lions this time. He ad an elephant on his hands. Unlike some ethe- people i: that situation li.e captain kuew just what todo with it. The elephant, a medium-sized quadruped of the Asiatic varie y. was purchased in Japau J?y Adam Forepaugh, the show man, and was to 'co delivered in good condition at the show quarU: in Philadelphia. There was no trouble on the voyage oyer the placid Paciiic to San Francis co, but wh?) the time for the ovealand journey fronj San Frajicjsco came Acrtic weather prevailed this sida pf the Rycky Mountains. The tempera ture was so lo w as to congest the lungs of the biggest elephant if unprotected. The Central i'nciSjii rajlroad com pany refused to let Capt. M-liett put a glove in the elephant's car, be ausa of supposed danger to the couipany.s propertv, and the Captain set his Wits to work to devise means of getting heat without lire. He soon hit upon a practical plan. The elephant was ted into the box car, and stable com post was thown in by the cart load. It was pilJ high around the sides of tia car and loos ly heaped around the elephant until only the head and back of the big beast wera ;s;bl. an alarm fire this morning about ten o'c;o:k, called out the ireruen and a large crowd. The fire was in a house of Dtew's.occupied by a Mr. Brown, in the second Ward. It was put out before the tire boys reached there. Legislative. Saturday, Feb. 5th. A special committee of five. Van Wyck, Doane. Daily, Graham and Er vin were appointed to draft a bill regu lating freight and passenger charge on railroads, also R. R. taxation. A resolution of sympathy with the people f Ireland was adopted. VanWyck moved en the printing contract of last session. House Windham report-! favor ably en II. R. 55 aud unfavorably on 74. The eld Bradford claim for legal services rendered the state in tho Mor ton Saline laud trial was biought up again. A number of new bills were intro duced on local matters, and both hous es adjourned until Monday. "THOU SHALT NOT PASS." Mr. Church Howe introduced t he following bill: That no railroad or other transpor tation company, or its officers or agents shall grant free passes or tick ets at a discount over any line of railroad in the state to any member of tho legislature, county or munici pal officer, and no member of the leg islature, nor any state, county or mu nicipal officer shall accept any sinh free pass or ticket. Any member of the legislature, or state, county or mu nicipal oflicer, or any person, officer, superintendent or agent of any rail road company who shall violate any of the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and 011 conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than one hundred doilars, nor more thin five hundred dollars. Section 2. Wherea3 an emergency rests, therefor this act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. Now then you anti-Railroad fellows vote "aye" on that. We, the people, want th.at to "pass;" this idea of shouting and spouting against rail roads aad then accepting their favors and passes is played out. Get the "ayes and noes" on that, Mr. Howe. SWAPPING ULES. The Lawyer and The Farmer. In the House last week during the debate on increasing the present judi cial districts the following amusing passage occurred : Mr. Windham, of Cass, was in favor of adding two districts. He did not advocate the addition because the judges were said to be overworked, lie saw them all in Lincoln during the senatorial contest, and they didu't look very tired until the contest was ended. I Laughter. The fifth dis trict was too large; that country was increasing rapidly in population and wealth, and hence business and litiga tion were increased. In two years one judge will not be able to do the work there. It would be expedient to increase the nuiuber of districts to eight, but didn't want an increase beyond that number. Mr Whedon had practiced in the fifth district. The judge had told hiia that he was putting iu 369 days a year. In Adams county the speaker had been required to appear in court at eight o'clock in the morning and work through till 2 o'clock the next morning. It was the only court in which he was required to be on duty at eight o'clock. This was not a ques tion of taxation, but a question of life and property to the citizens. Eight districts would fill the bill. Mr. Howe, of Nemaha, sa d the bill making ten judicial districts had been introduced by himself, but he had not read it. The lawyers had given it to him to present. Was satisfied that two judges were needed. That would meet the wants of the state for ten years to com". He couldn't see any thing so very distressing in the fact that his friend, the gentleman from 'Lancaster, (Whedon) had been re quited to go to work at 8 o'clock in one of the courts. "Why 011 the farm, ice commence plowing corn at 4 ovlocfc in the morning." Whedon "Out you d.ru'l plow on till 2 the next morning, do you?" "Yes, sir. When there's a good moon all we have to do is to change mules." Mr. Jensen, of Butler, said they had no court iu his county since last May. There was at least three weeks of solid work now accumulated. It was an injustice 10 the people. Mr. Daily of Red Willow said that Judge Gaslin had informed the com mittee that he would be willing that any nnmber of counties, under thirty, be added to hjs district. To more districts would make 11.000 addi tional expense, Iu his county a mam had appeared for tha 'ast three years with witnesses but his cane hil been postponed. The docket of Red Willow county had never been clear. There are twenty-three cases before tiie court there now that need attention Schick, of Nemaha, was in favor of redisricting the state. A motion that it be the sense of the house that no new districts be made was lost, and a resolution in favor of them was then presented and carried. The following was then offered: Heel vt d. tnat it is the sense of this house that ther should bo eight j'tdi-; ei.ii districts. The ares and nays being cailed for the resolution was carried by a vote of 44 to 35. I.iJi'O'a ti.K: For years there hii.s buen a disgrace ful quarrel existing betwewi the different members ol the university faculty a quairei that is not only disgraceful to tho individuals eoueen" ed but is detrimental to the prosperity of the institution, disgUfding to the people of Nebraska and discouraging to the laboiers 111 the cause of educa tion, who are expending time and money in the hope of making our state university a tiling of value a:d i-onor to the state. Through fear of permanently injur ing the university, the details of this detestable and pptty feud have been kept from the public, and we have caiefitjly suppressed iuany facts that have come to our knowledge for this very reason, hoping for a change. Tl;i change does not oine, ur, it" there is any change, it is for tiif worse. To allow the uiiiveisiiy profesuoj'.s to see the students in the same ligi.t in which the people look at the pio fessois, we have given publicity to the students' quarrel. And now we will say that any stu dent, who is receiving gratuitous in structiou at the state university, who tir.ds :tha lit ca.ijiot or wiii not obey the rules aud regulations .f tj;:tt insti tution, who considers that he is .Iheie i to give tone and character to the establishment, anb who devotes more ti-e io fiT'iien'jjig qaarreis and fos ter tig ifls u Cor J i uatipfi ti.zp be does to aquiring an education, could Dr.(J more appropriate and profitable employment upon a c. utile ranch; and if we, for one wfctt, had control of that university those students a'Cijld obey -regulations or there would be vaoaiU tieak ii; the recitation rooms. And, In like manner, we will s:ate' that if the power -of the board of regents could devolve upon our shoul ders, there would be e:( her peace or vacancies in the university faculty. That's about the way we have felt for some time, Mr. Globe. Glad you said U for v V New Music. Jehn Smith's March, by Lamartine This is ihe title of the latest novelty for org 111 or piano.
