PENNSYLVANIA and Illinois levy all taxes for state purposes on corpora tions , la Nebraska the monopolies levy all taxation for corporation pur poses on the state. That's the difference - once between Pennsylvania and Ill inois and Nebraska. PRESIDENT GABFIELD has an nounced , "No important changes for sixty days , and -no removals until commissions expire except for cause. " , Tnis means sixty days more of board bills to the army of office seekers at Washington. Ir both parties will nominate can * didatea for city offices whose records arejabovb reproachwho are intelligent , honest and fully acquainted with the needs of the city , then and then only there will be no need to go oatslde the party lines. Otherwise our citi zens will take the matter in theb : own hands irrespective of party. SMYTHE , whose name a lew years ago was simple Smith , of'Clinton , is said to ba the young men's candi date for mayor Men .must be ex tremely young and correspondingly fresh if they endorse such an irre sponsible ignoramus for the highest position in the gift of our people. NEW YORE state seems thoroughly aroused on the monopoly question. A bill has been introduced In the legis lature requiring that 10 per cent , of the stock of all new railroads shall be vested in the state , and that yearly transfers of such stock shall ba Bade until the tate has acquired-full con trol of the property. Whether this plan is practicable or not , its intro duction shows a growing feeling among the people that state control , if nut absolute ownership , of the mo nopolies Is necessary for the protec tion of the people of the country. Wirathe rapid increase of build ing in Omaha the. necessity for a su pervisor of buildings be comes more and more urgent. Omaha Is the only city of its ska and enterprise which has fail ed to provide this safeguard for the lives and property of its citizens. Denver has recently made its law more rigid and permits the erection of no structure public or private , the pUns of which have not previously been submitted to the proper author ity for inspection and approval This matter is of the greatest importance. It can and ought to be attended to at once by the city council. GRAVE fears are entertained in En- rope thtt the accession of Alexander III. means an aggrescive foreign policy - ' cy and a disruption of the peace which Is enjoyed by the great powers.

It is believed that he will press more strongly than his father the claims of Greece , and the cause of the Slavic provinces of the Balkan peninsular Including BosnU and Her- zegovina.

SESSION. The agitation in favor of an extra session is harmful and unwise. The principal demand for such s meeting of coucress comes from anxious office seekers , who hope to gain from the change , and from politicians , who have axes to grind. The country at large neither demand or desire it. The commercial classes of the nation arc wholly opposed to it , and the finan cial interests of the government do not require it The people of the United Statesoutaide of the politician ! and dispensers of official patronage , will not be affected by the retention of a lew democratic committees , .clerks , doorkeepers and capltol police men , but they deprecate any agita tion of such questions as are sure tc come up for consideration and which can just as well be postponed until next December. The'only grounds upon , which an extra remon is urjed ; , are : first , the failure of the refunding bill at the last session , and the south necessity of Investigation into the contested election cases in the south. - Neither of these grounds are sufficiently urgent to demand the worry and expense which would certainly attend an ex tra session. Secretary Windom an nounces that the existing authority of the government Is ample to enable the treasury department to deal with the maturing debt until a new bill is passed by the regular ses sion , and In the meantime opportun ity will be affjrded members of con gress to investigate more thoroughly theiest plan for floating the new , low rate "bonds. The republican party should serious ly consider the'funding question be fore they again commit themselves to i championship of the national banks igainst the best interests of the gov ernment. Let Congress authorize the facretary of the Treasury to call for ) ids on the new issue of bonds as the English government has done. It rill be found that a large portion of he new loan which is free of tax will > e taken up by estates and trust com- isnles for Investment.

( Eighth Paper. ) The winters of ' 56 and ' 57 wOl find a place in the annals of Nebraska as the coldest and stormiest in the his tory of the country. In 1856 winter commenced in No vember , bnt it was not until Decem ber that the terrible snow storms came which for weeks shut off travel and completely isolated the inhabitants of the Elkhorn valley from the rest of the world. The preceding winter of 1855 bad been a very mild one. There was no.snpw , and the pioneers worked out of doors most of the time In their shirt sleeves. Cattle and horses found their own living on upland and bottom tom , and fires were only necessary , most of the time , for culinary pur poses. Of course this gave the climate of Nebraska a big "send-oft" The pil grims who had come to build houses and prepare for their families , , who. were .to follow in. the spring , wrote homo glowing accounts of the mild ness of the climate , the strength.and luznrlousness of the prairie grass feed , the purity of the water , the richness of the soil and the healthfnlness of the country. They told about tKe game , the fish , and the wild plums , but said timber was rather scarce , which was the only drawback to the glorious Eden they painted in all the glowing colors of the rainbow. Some of these letters were published , and the "Nebraska fever" spread rapidly. I remember that at one time the whole of Qulncy appeared to be [ going or talking of going , to the "land of promise.And I also remember thai Adams county , Ellnoji , furnished many of the pioneers who helpadpave the way for the grand march of muscle , brains and wealth which has since made Nebraska what she ia. Though born in Pennsylvania , I was reared in Illinois suckled , I might say and with pardonable pride , therefore , I speak of peopla from the Backer state with great rev- erenca and respect. State pride is not only commend able , but eminently respectable in these days. "State right * " nsed to be tke hobby. Now ' 'state pride"- takes its place. We see this in the "re unions" all over the west. We have "New England" reunions , ' < 0hlo" re- anioni , eta , besides reunions of the aid settlers without regard to where they , come from. This is right. It la proper. It speaks well for the in telligence and sociability of the pee ple. The Swiss never forget the beautiful valleys , lakes and mountains > f their native home ; to the Irish ; here is no land so dear as the land of .he Shamrock and the Shillalah ; the 'banks and braes of bonnie Scotland" ire'dearer to the Scot than the apple > f his eye ; while the practical , provi- . lent and fan-loving Teuton never orgets ' 'der vaterland , " and would ather live on the banks of "der lhine"than to be in Paradise had he he geldt to live in good style. .But what has all this to do with the raid winters of ' 56 and ' 57 , you ask ? ' . don't know. Somehow I switched iff. But * it's all right , you know. ' And f any aspiring orator wants the above > aragraph to Incorporate in bis next ipeech before a "reunion" of "Snck- irs" -'Pokes" or "Buckeyes" or 'Hoos'.ers" he is welcome. It'shan't iost him anything. I was only trying 0 show that lore of country and pride if state were alike commendable. Yes , those werft cold winters , and 10 mistake. The first big snowstorm n 1856 , as near as I can remember , same about the 20th of December. For three days and nights it snowed md blowed , only as it can snow and Dlow in this country. The third day the storm raged so furiously as to snake leg houses. " It was difficult to keep ip a fire , and those .out of fuel were ; orced to lie in bed until the storm labsided , I remember that for once n my life I was tired of being abed , from a baby op I have had great ro- peot for a clean , tidy , well-made bed , tut I always have adapted myself to Ircumstances and been' able to lie on 1 feather bed , a matress , a baffalo- obe , or anywhere else. In fact , I lave been known to lie without the id of any , of these thugs. But. let hat past. , Daring this storm it was Impossible or a person to be out ofdoors. . . It ras worth , a person's life , almost , to entureio the nearest neighbor's , half , block distant. The snow was.blind- ng , and the wind fairly lifted one off heir feet. After the storm subsided the snow ras found to "bo four feet deep on the eveL Not a fence was visible. The now drifts were Immense. 'I never aw anything like it. Many of the ow cabins were surrounded with snow o the eaves. People had to dig paths 0 wood-pile's and stables , which was 10 small task. In some of the latter lorses and ] cattle were found , buried n the snow , dead. W. N. Davis had ; wo valuable horses in his stable. The irst day cf the storm they were given 1 plentiful supply of hay , were watered md fed as usual. The second day ; he storm was so furious that it was mpossible to get to the stable , which ras a log one , well chinked. After the storm was over , and a > ath dug to the stable , through snow Irifts ten to fifteen feet deep , as it ras on the side of a hill , the stable ras found to be packed fall of snow. Digging down to the hones theywere bend standing tied as when left , stone lead , frozen stiff. Stock suffered dreadfully from ex- > oore. In those days we had no lomfortsble stables. There were ome log stables which were good and rarm , but the majority of the so- llea stables were mere sheds , cor- ired with poles and hay , and aur- onnded with hay stocks. Feed was also scarce toward the atter part of the winter , as many lay stacks were blown away by the teary winds. The stock of provisions in the set- lement got very low. Flour gave > ut , so did bacon , sugar and some > ther necessaries. Oar potatoes were til frozen , but we had ccrn-meal , cof- 'ee and plenty of venison. To go to Dmaha or Council Bluffs , our ( apply lepdts , was out of the question. The road was obliterated. Immense drifts ) f , snow filled the hollows and blocked ip the way. It was twenty-five miles : o the first house , Rhodes' , by the old arall , over a wilderness of blinding mow , without mark or guide to point ; he way to the traveler. Such a trip ras hazardous in the extreme , and ap palled the stoutest hearts. Should the rind raise the air would be filled with mow , and the bewildered traveler , not mowing which way to go , would get est and perish. A number of such accidents happened in Nebraska dur- ng the winters of ' 56 and ' 57. So the colony was forced to wait intil the snow setted and a crust brmed on top , before "starting east" 'or provisions. The amount of game that died of ldani was killed those two winters ras astonishing. Bnt the .winter of 57,1 think , was the hardest on both jame and stock. I remember , that ene afternoon , ibout three o'clock , a friend came to rar house and told me that a drove cf leer were ba the bend of the river , ibont a mile from the settlement. He ladn't time to go after them and want- ad .me to go. I had just returned after i hunt since daylight , and was toot tired to tramp any more through the.i snow. Bat I went and told Johx Francis , an old deer hunter , and him self and his brother took tbeli rifles and went after the game , By' nbie o'clock that evening they had fourteen deer killed anc storeo" away in their cellars. . It ap pears that the deer had gone into .the bend to browse on .the cottonwoods' , and had tramped the snow down aboni them so as to enclose tb.emielves.in i yard or corral , the snow at the ontei edge being higher than the heads oi the deer , just as a board fence ii higher than the head of , A small boy. It was no trouble to kill the animals , It was Dothlng but slaughter , just the same as cattle are slaughtered at the pen. The poor , half-starved animali did not make much exertion to gel away , because they couldjiot if they wanted to , as there was a heavy crusl on the snow , which held them fas ! when they broke through. How lonq they had been in that snow pen could not betold , , but from a look at it the next day I should judge they had been there a week at least. At one time turkeys were very numerous along the Elkhorn river and in the bluffs. I have seen half a doz en large droves a day , and killed some'of the largest and finest , birds I .ever saw. One October morning I 'got up jast at daylight , loaded a musket and , went back of "our house to a ravine about a hundred yards dis tant , which was thickly studded with oak trees , to look for game. A noise among the dry leaves caused me to look around , when I saw a large flock of turkeys about fifty yards off. I drew up , fired quickly , and saw the turkeys ran off up the hill toward the house. I swore at the musket , and poured a handful of powder and a handful of shot each in , determined to have a load that would bring them sure. " Walking up to where the turkeys had first stood , I was surprised to.find . a large gobbler laying there' dead. I had killed him-too dead to flatter. 1 picked iiim ap and went on after the flock which I found just over the brow of the hill They' started to run and I fired at them. Just then something hit me in the month so violently as to tumble me down on the grass , stun ned and bleeding. Bat I gatnp and found .three more turkeys dead. So I shouldered the four and marched tri umphantly to the house. The folks were justgettlng up and regarded my exploit as the work of a mighty rim- rod. Of course I felt proud , and no donbt pat on many airs. "Bat what has braised your < nose , 'cut and swelled your lips and bloodied.your shirt sol" "That darned old musket , " I replied , "kicked worse than a mole. Bat. I salivated the turkeys , and * can stand the punishment. " Bnt the terrible winters of ' 66-7 either killed the' turkeys off or drove' them .south. At any rate , they dis appeared , while prairie chickens be came numerous. In 1858 9 game of nil kinds were scare in the Elkhorn trailer. It was hard to find cither , a leer .or turkey where there used to be icorei of them , with an occasional ierd of elk. The' largest elk ever tilled in Nebraska was taken by a par- 7 from Fontanelle who were hunting it Oak Grove lake , about two miles louth of the sattlement. He was a nonster , and was killed only after a lesperate struggle , completely riddled ay bullets. , Every time a gen fltshed the elk would charge in the direction ifjthe smoke , and some of the party narrowly escaped'with their lives from ; he horns and hoofs of the infuriated beast ; ' fTd be continued. ) Corporate .arrogance.
