So far Iho soldiers' reunions inNobnw-
k have proved very successful , and have
cwmparod favorably with llio reunions
Iiold in other states. At first IKo re
unions were rather nmall aHftirs , us
Nebraska was thinly populated. Never
theless , genuine enthusiasm was not
lucking among the veterans. With the
increase of population each year the re
unions have grown in numbers and in
enthusiasm. At Grand Island in 1882 it
was claimed that there wore over 25,000
people In attendance , and this year nt
Hastings it was estimated that there were
over . ' 10,000 present.
Among the people of Nebraska there
are a very largo number of soldiers.
Nebraska is in a great measure n soldiers'
state , and it is believed that at the next
annual reunion there will bo 50,000 people -
plo in attendance. The bids for the loca
tion of the reunion are * o bo bascdonthat
number. It will bo a grand demonstra
tion , and no doubt there will bo consid
erable rivalry among thn various cities
and towns to secure it. The location will
bo decided at the seventh annual encamp
ment of the Grand % Army of the Repub
lic , department of Nebraska. John 0.
Bonnoll , department commander , will
receive sealed proposals until January
25th , nt his headquarters in Lincoln ,
from the various cities , towns and vil
lages of the state which desire to compote
pete for the location of the reunion.
The propositions must guarantee the
use of at least 1210 acres of land for
the reunion , suitable for camping
and it must bo fully staked out and prepared
pared for the camp. Seventy-five tons
of hay , fifty tons of straw , and one hun
dred cords of wood must bo furnished ,
and a guard provided for such property.
Water must bo furnished in barrels for
the ueo of DO.OOO people , and enough
stock water for 3,000 teams of horses and
mules , for one week , Forty tons of ice
must also bo delivered. The tents , camp
equipage , munitions of war , must bo
transported free from any point in the
United States , and returned in the same
way. They shall bo hauled to the camp ,
and the tents pitched , and when the re
union is over the material shall bo returned -
turned to the railroad company. The re
union must bo advertised to the extent
of at least $350. All property must be
insured.
All expenses incident to the reunion
in the way of ammunition , and material
needed and used in the carrying out of
programme of parades , sham battles ,
amusements , eunriso and sunset guns ,
caring for the pavillion , lighting earno
for camp fires , hiring of saddle horses
for the commander of camp , and his
stall' , must bo berne by the city , town , or
village that shall secure the location of
the reunion ; and all tlio rights to main
tain , and rents accruing frm sutler
stores , booths , dining hall , and all busi
ness firms , games , places of amusement ,
shows , etc. , shall bo received by the said
city , village , or town. No dance hall ,
no gambling , or place to vend spirituous
liquors , wines , or malt boor , shall bo al
lowed on the grounds of the reunion , and
all places of business or pleasure shall
close at 10 to 11 o'clock p. m. each night ,
if so ordered by the cqmmandor of the
camp.
In addition to the above , the locality
must give a certain sum of money as a
cash donation for securing the reunion ;
said sum to ba paid to the department
commander by or before August 1,1884 ,
for ueo of the department of Nebraska ,

TUB only position of any prominence
which Nebraska holds in the territories
is the surveyor-generalship of Now Mex
ico. That position has boon hold by
Henry M. Atkinson for eight years. Mr.
Atkinson's grip on federal offices hat
boon otoady and persistent. It oxtonde
way back to 1801 through a continuous
line of lucrative appointments , varying
all the way from land-oillco receiver tc

Horsey , Spencer and Kellogg are fail

Atkinson are fast friends and are mom-

Itov , J. B. Maxfiold , of this city , is
said to have written a letter to Mr. John
B. Finch recently , in which the opinion
is expressed that drunkenness and de
bauchery are on the increase in Nebraska
since high license has been substituted for
low license. A statement coming from
such a source may make capital for Mr.
Finch in his debate with Die Lewis but
it is absolutely untrue. No candid per
son will claim that high license has done
away entirely with drunkenness , but it
stands to reason that the closing of more
than ono half of the saloons hai mater
ially diminished the evils arising from
intemperance. This is not all. High
license has forced many of the lowest
dives to close up altogether and thus
reduced the number of resorts where
thugs , thieves , and vagrants congregate.
Hero in Omaha , whore ono hundred and
eighty saloons were in full blast four
years ago , with a population of
thirty thousand , only eighty saloons
remain to-day when the population
has reached nearly fifty thousand.
In other sections of the state the change
is oven more marked than in Omaha.
The high license law of Nebraska docs
not compel the issue of n liquor liconRe
to every applicant who tenders the money
to the city or county officials. It is entirely
tiroly optional with the board whether
license is granted or not , and wherever
public sentiment against license predom
inates , no saloons have been licensed.
In other words prohibition is enforced in
every community that has the moral
stamina to sustain it. To attempt pro
hibition where public sentiment will not
sustain it would simply bo a farce. But
if high license has been a partial failure
iu nome localities , the blame must lie with
that class of pcoplowhoprcach temperance
but lack the courage to put it into prac
tice. How haa it been in Omaha ? When
did our temperance agitators over make
the slightest oilbrt to compel the enforce
ment of the law ? When did any of these
pcoplo over present a remonstrance
against granting a license to notorious
dons ? Is it any wonder that the high
license law is often violated when the
moral element keeps aloof and refuses to
take the responsibility of filing a re
monstrance or entering a complaint ?
Why blame the law for failing to enforce
itself ? Why pronounce high license
a failure to become in some localities the
standard of morality is lax ; and public
officials do not enforce what the majority
of voters are disposed to tolerate.
AN effort is being made to revive the
viaduct scheme. The proposition is to
have a viaduct built either on Tenth or
Eleventh streets as cheaply as possible ,
and with as little convenience as the
public will submit to. There is no doubt
that n viaduct ought to bo built some
where between Howard and Pacific
streets , across the railroad tracks. But ,
whether a viaduct is built at the expense
of the city , or by the railroads , who by
rights should protect the public against
accidents , it should bo wide enough and
substantial enough for all the traffic that
passes between the depots and the
business center. There should bo in
the first place double tracks for
street railway in the center , and room
enough on each side for wagon tracks
and pedestrian walks. In other words ,
the viadnct should bo fully fifty feet wide.
In our opinion Ninth street would be
much bettor than Tenth or Eleventh
streets. It would accommodate all the
travel and traffic that passes down Doug
las , Farnam , Harnoy and Howard streets ,
whereas a viaduct on Tenth or Eleventh
street would cut off travel in the lowoi
portions of the city , and to that extent
would damage property. Ninth street
is already closed at ono end by the
Union Pacific depot , while Tenth and 1
Eleventh streets are thoroughfares. A
viaduct on those two streets would more
seriously obstruct travel and traffic than
on Ninth otroot , where it would have tc
bo high enough to pass over the depot ,
with an extension south of the depot in
the direction of Tenth street. This
would cost a great deal more than a via
duct on Eleventh street , but the groatoi
outlay would bo justified in view of the
advantages of accommodating all the
business houses on lower Faroam , Dou-
0 glas , Harnoy and Howard streets , and
0 giving the lower part of the city the bon
* efit of the street railway. It is aolf-ovi
dent that the street railway would aban
Ninth and Tenth streets , if a viaduc
were built on Eleventh.

y THE Bincority of the democrats i
ri- favor of tariff reform will Boon bo tested
rim Ono of the most glaring abuses in th
th high protection By stem is the duty o
Bd sugar. It is buliovcd that the democrat
or will endeavor to keep up the .high tart
to on sugar in order to conciliate Louisiau
k- planters. The republicans , aa a matte
of policy , will urge that there shall b
BOUIO reduction on sugar. It is oven poi
idu Bible that the republican may support
u- bill to rbolbh the sugar duty entirely f
lie aud give a bounty to American prc
duccrs. That would probably suit the
Louisiana planters just as well aa keep
ing up the present sugar tariff. It is a
question , however , whether this policy
of giving a bounty on raw products can
meet with much favor among the tax
payers. If it is proper to pay a bounty
to the sugar planters , why not pay a
bounty to the tobacco raisers , or a bounty
on buckwheat , or rice , or augar-bects ,
turnips , or any other product that the
American farmer might raise. This is
ono of the problems that is liable to try
the sincerity of the democrats in con
gress.
If the democratic party is true to its
principles and traditions , it will bo the
anti-monopoly party , and on that plat
form it will bo invincible , New York
Star.
If the republican party had boon true
to its principles and lived up to its tradi
tions there would have been no nocd of
an anti-monopoly platform , much less of
an invinciplo anti-monopoly democracy.
If the democratic party had the courage
to grapple with monopoly in every slmpo
and form it would have been in power
years ago.
lilternry Notes.
The North American Iloviow f r Jan-
uarn presents a table of contents pos
scssing in the highest degree the character
tor of contemporary human interest.
First , the opposite sides of the question
of "Ecclesiastical Control in Utah" are
sot forth by two representative men ,
whoso competence for the poformanco of
the task undertaken by them respect
ively admits of no doubt , viz , : Prdai-
dent John Taylor , the official head of the
Mormon church , and the Hon. Eli H.
Murray , governor of the territory of
Utah. Senator John I. Mitchell writes
of the "Tribulations of the American
Dollar , " recounting the strenuous ef
forts of the people of the
United States to extinguish
the national debt , and contending that it
is our imperative duty to-day to settle
definitely the question , whether wo shall
have dollars of unequal commercial value
in circulation. In an article entitled ,
"Theological Re-adjustments , " the Rev
Dr. J. H. Rylance insists upon the necessity
cossity of eliminating from the formu
larics of belief and from the current
teachings of the churches , whether in the
pulpit or in the Sunday school all doc
trines and all statements of supposed
facts which have been ciscrodited by the
advance of exegetical scholarship , and by
the progress of natural science. Senator
Henry AV. Blair , taking for his theme ,
"Alcohol in Politics , " declares his belief
that another irrepressible conflict is at
hand , and advocates the submission
to the _ people of an amendment
to the United States constitution pro
hibiting the manufacture , sale and im
portation of intoxicating liquors. No
ono who road in the December Iloviow
the first half of "The Day of Judge
ment , " Gail Hamilton's incisive review
of the domestic life of Thomas Carlyle ,
will forego the pleasure of perusing the
latter half in the current number.
"Evils Incident to Immigration , " by Ed
ward Self , is a forcible statement of the
mischiefs wrought by the importation
into our social and political life of an en
ormous annual contingent from the low
est stratum of the population of Europe.
Finally , the subject of "Bribery by Hail-
way Passes" is discussed by Charles Aid-
rich and Judge N. M. Hubbord. Published -
lished at 30 Lafayette Place , .Now York ,
and for sale by booksellers generally.
The extracts from General Garfield's
journal of a four months' trip to Europe ,
made in 1807 with Mrs. Garfield , which
are to appear in the January Century ,
begin with the embarkation at New
York , July 13. In his first entry Gar
field says :
"When I entered Williams college , in
1854,1 probably know less of Shakes-
pore than any.student of my ago and at
tainments in ths country. Trough this
was a shame to me , yet I had the pleas
ure of bringing to these great poems a
mind of some culture and imagination ,
and my first impressions were very strong
and vivid. Something likp this may oc
cur in reference to this trip ; and , how
ever much ignorance I may exhibit , I
shall hero speak of what impresses me ,
whether it bo that which has been ad
judged remarkable or not. "
Not the least interesting part of the
paper is the ocean voyage , which the
writer bore without discomfort. July
17 , ho writes ;
"Ho ( the captain ) says if this day docs
not make mo seasick , none will. Hoard
from him the story of his life. Very in
teresting. I could almost feel the old
passion for the sea arise iu my heart
again. Were I not what I am , I should
have boon a sailor. "
The London experiences included visits
to parliament , whore ho hoard the debate
on the reform bill of August , and which
ho describes with vigorous pen-portraits
of Disraeli , Mill , Gladstone , Bright and
others ; to htiar Spurgoon , to whom a
page of description is given ; and visits
to the British and South Kensington
museums , Hampton court , the tower ,
Westminster hall and abbey , Madame
Toussaud's , etc. The trip included also
Scotland , Holland , the Rhino , Switzer
land , Italy and France.
Pacific Hull-way Regulations.
PlttaburK Dispatch.
A now member of congress from Call
fprnia , named Sumner , shows his disposi
tion to strike at existing and great ovili
by proposing that government authority
shall bo used to reduce the excessive pas
senior charges on the Central and Uniot
Pacific roads to a par with the chargei
which are doomed sufficient on all tin
larger roads east of Omaha. His bil
provides that the faro for a first-class pas
senger per mile shall not exceed tnrei
cents. Why some relief on froighl
charges should not also bo granted is ar
important question. If , as is claimot
on good grounds , the authority of congress
gross to regulate the Pacific roads ii
established there is no reason why tlu
companies who have been paid immense
fortunes for building them should nol
w bo forced to give as reasonable rates at
tkoso who have put their own capital
with only a Blight proportion of water
into the unsubsidized railways. But tin
proposition to regulate passenger rates ii
a stop in the right direction. The average
ago rate per mile on the eastern roads ii
less than what the Pacific roads an
charging. A reduction to It cents a inili
would cut down the faro between Sat
Francisco and Omaha from # 100 to $57
If that can bo done by congress it wil
make a splendid start toward ropulatinj
freight ratea and abolishing the ipecia
contract infamy.

Control of the Senate.
The terms of twenty-five senators wil !
expire on March 3 , 1885 , and their sue
cessors will bo chosen during the winter
of 1884 by legislatures iri part to br
elected at the same time with the nex
president and congress. Of these , four
teen are now democrats and eleven re
publicans. The democratic seats to bo
vacated are from Alabama , Arkansas- -
California , Florida , Georgia , Indiana- -
Kentucky , Lousiana , Maryland.MisBOuri ,
North Carolina , Ohio , Oregon , and South
Carolina. The republicans are from
Colorado , Connecticut , Illinois , Iowa ,
Kansas , Nevada , New Hampshire , New
York , Pennsylvania , Vermont and Wis
consin. Not many changes are apparently
possible in these states , and not enough ,
even making the largest allowances , to
change the political predominance in the
senate. Some republicans believe that
California , Florida , Indiana , North Carolina
lina and Oregon , nonr having democrats ,
may send republican senators. Of the
republican states some democrats believe
that Coimccticut , Illinois , Now York and
Wisconsin may send democratic senators.
These nine are the only states which can
'
bo called doubtful , even by the most
sanguine politicians. The democrats must
make a clean gain of five senators. That
ia to say , they must carry five states now
having republican senators , and hold all
they now have in order to have a majority
of the senate. If they should lose Cali
fornia and Oregon , which are really
doubtful states , they would have to carry
two more The republicans could afford
to lose Now York and Connecticut , their
