If railroad authorities will neither conduct
their oxvn business on decent principles and
with good faith townrd each other and lowaid
the stockholders and the public , nor observe
the lestrictions and regulation * laid down hy
law , the time will come when the government
will take the management of railroads into its
own hands , and that we should not like to see.
Tup. New York Voice sa.\s : "There is very
little hope for tctnpoiance legislation. " Thar
is true. The Prohibitionists of New York
united with the saloons and defeated Wiirner
Miller and elected Governor Hill , who is pledg
ed , to vote all legislation looking toward tem
perance. In no state of all the Union has the
Third Party Piohibiiinnists ever enacted a
single ' measure > f temperance legislation.
The Garrett lamily is once more really at

rett , but he was approached by Gould and in
duced to sell out the sou. Then the daughter
took a baud , and now Spencer realizes that in
gratitude is a crime with the penalty aflixed.
At Macon. Ga. . the other evening , some un
reconstructed miser emit hungu United States
fl.ig ' upside down , with the evident intention
of insulting the government. The next morn
ing early the flag was promptly removed by
the loyal residents ot the city This is an in
dication that the national sentiment is fast
superseding sectional feeling in the south. .
l'ho next four j ears will see great progress In

A MiNiSTiuand his wife enteied a lawyer's
> mce in Chicago and asked for a divorse. The
awjer granted it on the spot. He being a
judge as well. Then the woman wanted to
ray the lawyer and he s iid she could pay by
narrying him , and as the divorced husband 1
.tanding by. promptly assented to perform
he ceremony , they were wedded at once. In
• lew of this case it fa difficult to understand
vhy marriage may not be both a success ana
failure.
It appears troin statements recently pub-
ished that tlio railwujs of Prussia , owned by
he government , arc paying great and fast
rrowing profits. The net surplusfor thetreus-
iry or that kingdom was S17.000.000 in 1870 SO ,
md it has steadily Iiiciensed each fiscal year
intil. for 1837 88 it lcached $65,000 000. and the a
irofit for 18bS S3 is said to be almost certain to y
imourit to $77,500,000 Tin 's is an enormous net V
e venire to obtain from the railways of aterri- "
ory smaller than that or any one of several of r
mr slates. J
Thk county auditois ut Iowa have taken a
irautical aed simple method lor solving the
problem of it uniform basis for assessments
iT pioperty in the countiesoT thestate. They
net in convention and by comparing the dif-
erent rai.dcs of assessment , they have orer-
nmeihe confusion and embarrassment which
esultfrom the various methods now used ,
laving agreed upon a uniform and equitable
ihsis. tlio auditors urge all boards of supervis-
irs to enforce it upon the ns-essnrs of the va-
10U3 counties. Tlie county auditors of Neb-
aska could well follow the Iowa example in o
iriiiglug about a similar reroim in our own E
tate _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ =
Thk demand for the suitable regulation of
iiilroads in accordance with equity to all con-
erued is legitimate , but the spirit of hostility
lisplajed bv certain newspapeis in their eT- !
oris to excite a senseless prejudice to serve
mds or their own is not ouly mean but mis- j
hievotis. The people of Nebraska must
runrd against the growth of a sentiment that
unjust and calculated to impede the devel
ipmeut of our resources. Demagogues hero
ne doing their utmost to accomplish what has
iroved a ruinous poliej in other states. Just
roinds of complaint have been exaggf rated rj
md made the basis of glaring wrongs perpe
rated against corporations , with disastrous "
esults to the public interests. This has been
lotnbly true in Iowa , where a mistaken policy
las triumphed and crippled industrial pros-
terity. A quietus has been put upon railroad (
itiilding. and during the past year not a mile *
las been built in if state that has a greater ca-
iacity for growth and more need for railroad .
acillties in its undeveloped sections tbau any
ilher of the Western states. The people have
uincd the railroads already built , and put a
top to the building or new lines that won d h
ave opened up the remainder of the state to d
he markets of tbe country. e
